The Magical and Mythical Lapland
In Finnish folklore, an element of mystery is associated with Lapland, the country's northernmost province. Many a myth stems from the ancient animistic beliefs of the Sami, the Arctic tribe and Europe's only indigenous people.
In Sami mythology, everything has a soul. Thus, every living and non-living being has a story of their own. Rocks and trees, foxes and reindeer, the Northern Lights in the sky and the knife in the reindeer herder's hand all carry knowledge and wisdom within. Spirits are present in everything, wherever one wanders.
In Lapland, swapping the hustle and bustle of ski resorts and cities to the peace and quiet of the wilderness takes mere minutes.

ESCO Market to Reach $8.3 Billion in 2020
The US energy service company market will grow from $4.9 billion in 2013 to almost $8.3 billion in 2020, representing a compound annual growth rate of 7.7 percent, according to a study by Navigant Research.
Although the long term outlook for the market is positive, it will not show strong year-on-year growth until 2014, according to The US Energy Service Company Market. The market peaked at $5.6 billion in 2011, supported in large part by the short-term effects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. However, the exhaustion of those resources contributed to the sharp decline in energy service company revenue in 2012, when total revenue fell to $4.8 billion, a figure that is below 2010 levels.
Furthermore, customers have grown concerned about the impact of energy performance contracts on their financial positions, and many of the resources, including policy measures, that drove growth prior to 2011 have been exhausted. As a result, the energy service company market activity slowed considerably, the report says.
However, the federal sector, which has long been an important part of the energy service company market, will undergo significant growth and be a key player in the market's future growth, Navigant says. This will be thanks to a number of supportive measures including the 2011 Better Buildings initiative, which aims to provide $2 billion of energy performance contracts in the federal sector by the end of 2013. Other sectors, such as commercial and industrial firms and public housing, will also start to expand once broader economic conditions improve, according to the report.
The municipalities, universities, schools, and hospitals market will remain a large part of the market overall, but will slip in market share as the federal and commercial and industrial sectors post strong growth in 2014 and beyond, the report says.
The energy service company market in the United States has gone through a difficult period in recent years, according to Navigant.
According to a report by Navigant released in April, worldwide spending on industrial energy management systems and services, including software components, will grow from $11.3 billion in 2013 to $22.4 billion in 2020. That amounts to a compound annual growth rate of 10.3 percent.
The US energy service company energy service company industry could more than double in size from $6 billion in 2013 to $11-$15 billion by 2020, according to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report that was released in September

Last week's post discussed the dismal state of sexual communication between sexual partners, be they one-time hookups or long-time spouses. The data suggest that these awkward bedroom silences come with a price. They are linked to less pleasurable and more risky sex and can have negative implications for relationships.
While much of the research on sexual communication has understandably focused on intimate romantic relationships, communication concerning issues of sexuality has important implications in other arenas as well. Sexual communication between parents and children, and between doctors and their patients, is just as important as it is between lovers--and just as difficult.

GrafTech Issues Statement Regarding Board Nominations
GrafTech International Ltd. (NYSE:GTI) ("GrafTech") today confirmed that it has received notice on behalf of the Nathan and Daniel Milikowsky group that it intends to nominate director candidates to stand for election to GrafTech's Board of Directors at the Company's 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The GrafTech Board will review the notice of nomination for compliance with the Stockholders' Agreement with the Nathan and Daniel Milikowsky group, as well as GrafTech's governing documents and applicable law, in due course. GrafTech stockholders are not required to take any action at this time.
The Company issued the following statement:
GrafTech's Board and management team are always open to the views of its stockholders and value input towards the goal of enhancing value for all stockholders.The Board and management team continue to focus on profitably operating the business and strategically positioning GrafTech for long-term stockholder value creation. On January 21, 2014, we provided an update to the strategic initiatives we announced on October 31, 2013 that are designed to significantly improve GrafTech's competitiveness, allow the Company to better serve customers and position our Industrial Materials business for success. The strategic initiatives address three key areas: profitability, cash flow and future growth. Consistent with our stated strategy, we announced our intention to close three facilities, including our two highest cost graphite electrode plants and a machine shop. All three plant closures are proceeding on schedule and as expected. Once implemented, the strategic initiatives are expected to yield approximately $75 million in annual cost savings, with $35 million in anticipated savings in 2014. Despite operating in a sustained period of macroeconomic challenge, GrafTech remains positioned as one of the best graphite material science companies in the world. GrafTech has a well-established and industry-leading track record of cutting costs and improving profitability and we are confident that the Company's initiatives will position the Company to benefit from market conditions when global demand and macroeconomic conditions improve.

Does Medicaid Share Of Cost Cover Dental In Florida?
My Florida Medicaid dental program is only going to cover 52.5% of my bill is that good.?
I thought medicaid paid for most of everything until i went to the dentist and they told me i would have to pay for some of the work myself. I went in for the first exam and i had to pay for the panoramic (the picture that goes around your whole face.) and when i looked on my dental programs web page said that they cover it. What should i do? and Is this correct or not?
Medicaid covers 100% if you have no share of cost which apparently you do. Every month that you want any medical services you have to pay your share of cost. Medicaid IS covering it but not 100%.
Does Medicaid allow you to get an additional dental insurance?
Hello, I have Medicaid given to me here in the state of New Jersey. It covers me fully BUT like majority of dental insurances, there's does not cover dental implants AT ALL and I'm in need of dental implants. My question is, if I were to get a dental insurance seperately, will Medicaid drop me or will the dental portion of the plan become my secondary? I honestly just want a second back up dental insurance temporarily to take care of my missing teeth.
There is no dental insurance that will cover very much of a dental implant.
For example: the BEST dental insurance will make you wait 6 months before you have coverage for something like this and then cover 50% of the cost up to $3000.
-- obviously, "the best" comes with the best price tag.
Your best option is to see if there is a dental school in your area.
It will be about 50% off the regular cost
I need to find a dentist in or around deltona/orlando fl who takes medicaid share of cost?
I am furious I just found out that some dentists actually Take share of cost. I need to locate one in or around orlando fl. I hope one can be found and i have suffered through toothaches and could have had this fixed all this time! can anyone help me find a dentist/oral surgeon that takes medicare share of cost so i can end this nightmare once and for all?
If you have Share of Cost Medicaid that is what you must spend before Medicaid covers the rest. I dont know about Florida but most states dont cover dental for adults. Your share of cost will be applied at the time of service with any dentist who takes Medicaid.
How much would a dental implant cost under medicaid?
is there a lower fee, I am on low income. I live in florida
Medicaid does not cover dental implants. Really the only thing that medicaid does cover are extractions. Dental Implants are expensive even if you have regular insurance. They usually cost about $2000-$3000 because you have to pay for the actual implant proceedure plus you have to pay to get the crown over the implant.
does florida Medicaid cover dental braces or invisaline teen?
I am 13 and have florida medicade with united health care will it cover my dental braces?
I don't think any state's Medicaid covers braces. Sorry.

Gulf Air to hurt Mumtalakat profit
Bahrain's sovereign fund will continue support for carrier as it is a challenging asset, chief says
Manama: Bahrain sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat will continue to financially support Gulf Air even though the loss-making carrier will be a drag on its 2011 earnings, the fund's chief executive said.
Mumtalakat, which bundles Bahrain's non-oil state-owned companies, is one of the smaller sovereign wealth funds in the world's top oil-exporting region, with $9.1 billion (Dh33.39 billion) in assets at the end of 2009.
It owns stakes in several state firms such as Gulf Air and Aluminium Bahrain.
"Gulf Air is a challenging asset for us," Talal Al Zain said in a telephone interview from London on Wednesday.
The firm made a profit of 26.15 million dinars (Dh254.62 million) in the first half of 2010, according to its website. Its 2009 net loss was $487.2 million, largely attributed to losses in Gulf Air and Aluminium Bahrain .
"Our results are looking good but what drags us down is Gulf Air," Al Zain said.
Mumtalakat said last year that it would look to offload the ailing airline to the government.
Asset sale
"We hope there will be a turnaround in Gulf Air soon, after they launched a new strategy. We will continue financially supporting it for now," said Zain.
Gulf Air, which competes with the likes of Dubai's Emirates and Qatar Airways, recently implemented a strategy to find a niche by building a network of regional routes to destinations it sees as under-served.
Mumtalakat was removed from CreditWatch negative by rating agency Standard & Poor's on Wednesday, which cited diminished near-term tensions and expectation that increased public spending will lift economic growth next year.
Bahrain was handed a $10 billion stimulus package by its wealthier Gulf neighbours, which it plans to use for infrastructure and housing to quell unrest that erupted in March and resulted in the government declaring martial law. That was lifted at the start of June.
"We are 100 per cent tied to the government of Bahrain and will always have support from them," said Zain when asked if Mumtalakat will get any of the $10 billion stimulus.
Zain said the fund is open to selling some of its local private equity holdings to diversify into more liquid and international assets.
Last year, the fund raised $338 million by selling 10 per cent of its stake in Aluminium Bahrain through an IPO. It had planned to raise up to $540 million but the IPO was priced at the bottom of the range.
"We are an investment company and we are always open to these options. We are looking for opportunities," the CEO said.
However, he did not say whether any assets are up for sale at the moment.

Gregg Greenberg: There are two dates to keep in mind when determining whether you are entitled to a company's stock or cash dividend: the "record date" and the "ex-dividend date."
The record date is when you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. After the company establishes the record date, the ex-dividend date is normally set for two business days before the record date. (Remember, that's business, not calendar, days.)
If you purchase a stock on or after its ex-dividend date, you will be out of luck when it comes to the dividend payment. So don't dawdle, because if you do the seller will pocket the dividend instead of you.Also, if a company pays out 20 cents a share every quarter, all other things being equal, the shares would likely open down about 20 cents lower on the ex-dividend date because buyers that day will not receive the income. The one wrinkle in all of this is that the dividend itself is usually not paid out until two to four weeks after the ex-dividend date. Investors can sell shares any time on or after the ex-dividend date and still receive the payout, even though the stock is no longer in their account.
I own a few stocks that have not participated in the recent market rally. I'm pretty sure they are good companies and good stocks. Should I be concerned? -- T.B. Hey, it's hard not to be concerned when your stocks don't rally along with the rest of a bull market. It's kind of like going to a casino and watching everybody else have a great time as they rake in the chips, while you just sit there breaking even. But unlike betting in a casino, where the longer you stay at the tables the more likely you are to lose your cash, investing in good stocks for the long term will more often than not pay off handsomely. P/> If you see your stocks are not joining in the market's reindeer games, the first thing you should do is find out why. Maybe your beloved stock is not as good as you originally believed. So the first step is to review its financials and do some homework. Once you've done your due diligence and feel even more confident that you are right and the market is wrong, then you may consider buying some more shares at these depressed prices. If your stock is as good as you believe, then you will have a lot more shares to profit from when it finally comes around.

Outdoors: 'Perch Way Cool' easy to prepare
By Bob Macuilis For Sun-Times Media February 28, 2014 7:08PM
There are dozens of different species of fish found in Illinois waters but one that is on every angler's list of favorites is the colorful yellow perch.
Lake Michigan is known worldwide as one of the best perch fisheries there is.
Perch are not difficult to catch, but the real reason yellow perch are so popular is because they are one of the tastiest fish to eat.
Preparing perch for the table is a wonderful way for the family to cap a day of fishing because everyone can participate. The process is easy but any time you are working in the kitchen, your folks should be on hand to help with the frying.
I call this recipe "Perch Way Cool," because it's perfect for introducing kids to the joys of sharing the harvest and that's exactly what they will say once they try it.
You will need the following items and ingredients: two bowls and a platter lined with paper towels.
In the first bowl, mix a half-cup of milk and one beaten egg. In the second bowl, mix a cup of all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Don't season it too much.
The perch should be scaled and cleaned and washed under cold running water. (If the adults knows how to fillet, that's perfect for preparing perch. And, you don't have to deal with the bones.)
Now, the kids are in charge.
Place the perch in the milk and eggwash. Then transfer the fish into the bowl with the flour and thoroughly cover all sides.
Hand the battered perch to a parent, who should have heated approximately a half-inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan until it is very hot (375 degrees). The oil has to be very hot, so it sears the fish quickly, locking in the flavor and keeping it from absorbing too much of the oil.
Carefully put the perch into the hot oil to avoid splattering. Fry the fish two to three minutes on one side until it is golden brown, then turn it over and fry the other side for one to two minutes. How long the fish is fried depends upon how thick it is. Small fillets fry quickly.
When done, remove the perch and place it on the paper towel to absorb as much oil as possible.
Continue the assembly line process until all the perch are fried. Sprinkle french fries around the edge of the fish on the platter and serve. That's all there is to it.
Some enjoy a little dipping or tartar sauce with their perch. That, too, is a simple project for the family.
Mix several teaspoons of relish with double the amount of mayonnaise and some yellow mustard. Then chill while you're frying the fish. Adjust the recipe so it's what you like.
You also can squeeze a little fresh lemon on the fillets before dipping them in the tartar sauce.
Fishing with family and friends is a great way to spend time outdoors. Sharing a platter of sizzling, delicious fillets once you get home makes it truly special. Quick and easy to prepare ... that's what makes this recipe for a "Perch Platter" way cool.

Spot freight rates for ocean container shipping on the trans-Pacific fell another 4.2 percent in the latest week, the second straight week-to-week drop in a abrupt halt to carrier attempts to pump up weak pricing.
The Drewry Container Rate Benchmark rate container shipments from Hong Kong to Los Angeles fell $64 from the week before to $1,457 per 40-foot equivalent container.
That left the rate measure down about $400, or 21.2 percent, since late August and 29.9 percent below the same week a year ago.
Spot freight rates on the trans-Pacific and Asia-Europe trade lanes have been sliding for more than a year. That's because of the huge amount of big new ships that carriers have deployed on the Asia-Europe trade lanes and the resulting cascading of smaller, less-efficient vessels onto the trans-Pacific and other trade lanes.
Trans-Pacific rates have not fallen as far as those on the Asia-Europe trade because some carriers have already suspended services for the slack winter season, and some smaller carriers have pulled out of the Pacific altogether, or in a few cases gone out of business.
The Trans-Pacific Stabilization Agreement among 15 carriers on the eastbound trans-Pacific will try to implement an interim rate increase of $400 per FEU on Jan. 1 after the holiday season ends.

Goodbye, hello: Assembly seats elex winners, greets newcomers
It was an evening of farewells and greetings in Sitka's assembly chambers Tuesday night, as the reins of local government were transferred to the winners of last week's municipal elections. It was also an occasion to greet newly-arrived permanent city hires, and welcome some enthusiastic, temporary residents.
Assembly approves sales tax holiday, denies B&B permit
Sitka will be sales tax-free on November 28 and 29, the Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving. The assembly also waded into a pair of disputes among neighbors -- and said farewell to one of its own.
Sitka Assembly asks for input on proposed car tax
The assembly voted 4-3 on Tuesday night in favor of a proposal that would increase vehicle registration fees. But the ordinance will come before the assembly at least two more times, and it's not at all clear whether it will make it into law.
Assembly awards contract for water treatment facility
The assembly voted to award a $5.5-million contract to Dawson Construction to build a new UV Disinfection Facility, which will bring Sitka's primary source of drinking water into compliance with federal regulations.
Assembly, School Board filing deadline Friday
The filing deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, August 8 for candidates running for mayor, assembly and school board in Sitka. So far, four candidates have filed to run for assembly and two for school board. Mayor Mim McConnell is running for reelection. No other candidate has yet filed to challenge her.
Kettleson bids $1M higher than expected
The bids are in for Sitka's Kettleson Memorial Library expansion -- and contractors are estimating that the project, as currently envisioned, would cost about $1-million more than the city had expected. At a special assembly meeting Thursday, city staff proposed cuts to the project.
Assembly considers vehicle tax to fund roads
Sitka's car owners may soon see a fee increase. The assembly voted 5 to 1 Tuesday night to raise vehicle registration fees. Money raised through the tax would go towards the city's roads.
John Littlefield's legacy: Teaching subsistence as advocacy
Sitkans this week will mark 40 days since the passing of John Littlefield with a traditional celebration of his life. The food will be wild, local, and plentiful -- thanks in large part to his legacy. John Littlefield was a clan uncle, a father, a husband, and electrical contractor. But most of all, he was a passionate advocate for traditional subsistence rights.
Assembly OKs float homes, honors baseball champs
The Sitka Assembly voted Tuesday night to allow float homes in Sitka's harbors. It was one of two pilot projects on the agenda aimed at increasing affordable housing.
Assembly votes to raise pay for city workers
The Sitka Assembly gave final approval Tuesday night to an ordinance overhauling the pay-scale for non-union employees. The changes were prompted by a study that found some city salaries lagging well behind what is paid in other, similar communities.

Hey, bringing up an old post, but I wonder, how well does that Southbridge cooler work? I am watercooling my Northbridge, so leaves the southbridge bare. I have a spare HR-05 SLI kicking about, but with a second GTX, it blocks my lonely PCI slot, meaning no Soundcard for me. I have just "Glued"(arctic silver thermal adhesive) a heatsink from an old Mobo I had lying around, which is just slightly smaller than, for comparisons sake, an Intel 965 stock northbridge heatsink. Think this will perform passive? I think it should do the trick. It is about 1.5"x1.5"x1.5" in size, about 50 or so "fins". Cooling comes from the TJ-09 middle intake fan.

The mobile web browser of Opera Software, the Opera Mini has reached another milestone on July 25, 2010 by registering one billion pages view per day.
This translates to Opera Mini servers compressing more than 11,500 pages every second before sending to the mobile phone devices around the world. Opera Mini registered the 100 million page views per day in June 2008. The browser was registering 910 million page views on an average last month.
Jon von Tetzchner, co-founder, Opera Software said, "Each day is different in the fast-growing mobile Web. Every day more people around the world choose Opera Mini and view more pages through this browser."
"Crossing one billion pages views in a day is further proof that people desire the best Internet experience, no matter where they live or what device they use," he added.
Opera Mini is the most popular mobile browser in the world. It is supported by over 3,000 mobile phones from different vendors. The unique technology in the browser compresses data by up to 90 percent before sending it to the mobile phones which makes page loading much faster.
As the penetration of smart mobile devices increase around the world, the internet service available on these devices is becoming more popular.

Exactly HOW addictive do you think Ambien is?
- 0Mar 24, '08 by justme1972I recently had to terminate a long-term friendship last week due to a friend that has been on Ambien for 3 years.
I knew she was taking it, but only until a few months ago, I didn't realize she was taking it on a daily basis and a few weeks ago, she started addiing valium to the mix.
When the Ambien stopped working (b/c she would wake up 3 to 4 hours later and couldn't go back to sleep) she started halving the pills, and would take the other half in the middle of the night...when that stopped working she added the valium.
She seems "addicted' to the sleep. She is always in bed asleep....she wears ear plus, turns off the ringers to the phone...I kept telling her that was dangerous (she lives by herself) b/c if a carbon monoxide or fire detector went off, no way would she hear it.
I have never been friends with an addict and her behavior has got so bizarre (especially when she was sleep deprived) that I got tired of her emotional "snaps", and I had to terminate the friendship. I have tried everything to get her help, but she not only denies she needs help, she says, "Oh, Ambien isn't that addictive...I like sleeping!"
Any thoughts on what others have seen in people taking this drug?
- 0Mar 24, '08 by CABG patch kidI actually just read an article in Glamour (this month's issue) about a self-proclaimed Ambien addict who had insomnia; originally just took it occasionally, then it developed into such a bad addiction she had to go to inpatient rehab to get off of it.
Well that's too bad about your friend, I know personally how hard it can be to make a decision about distancing yourself from someone with a drug/alcohol problem: you don't want to feel you abdandoned her but at the same time there is probably not a whole lot you can personally do to help except try to get her butt to rehab. I'm sorry you are going through this, I hope your friend gets help soon :icon_hug:
- 0Mar 24, '08 by santhony44I've taken it myself and personally didn't consider it at all addicting. But then, I only took it on rare occasions and the one prescription probably lasted me a year or more.
It worked so well that I would not take it unless I was home with my family; if I were traveling alone, I was afraid I wouldn't hear a smoke alarm.
I also learned the hard way that it needs to be taken as you get into bed; I once took it and stayed up "till I got sleepy" and ended up quite drunk! Some of your friend's bizarre behavior might be due to the Ambien. I've also heard of cases of people doing things and not remembering them later.
If your friend is only staying asleep for 3-4 hours, then she's been on it too long. I agree the mix of Ambien and Valium is dangerous and I have a hard time believing one provider is prescribing both, particularly with her having taken Ambien on a daily basis for this long.
I'm sorry you haven't been able to help her, but if she won't admit there is a problem, there's not much you can do.
- 2Mar 24, '08 by BlueRidgeHomeRNjust a thought--might your friend be seriously depressed?
i only ask because sleep was my response to to a severe bout of depression. i was sleeping 18+ hours a day until i got treatment.
any chance you can get her to a doc for a complete workup???
- 3Mar 24, '08 by NatebuckeyeI worked as a drug rep for a couple years (2000-2001) and one of my drugs was Ambien. I don't remember the exact results of the study we marketed to doctors, but the basic idea was that Ambien was the least addictive sleep aide on the market. I remember the phrase the company wanted us to use with doctors was "wake up rested and refreshed". I wouldn't be suprised to find out it was all bunk. I could write pages on how the drug companies legally manipulated numbers in their marketing tools to make drugs look more effective or less dangerous. It is a scummy industry, but thats for another thread. I guess personally I'm just really interested to know if I was spending my day filling my MD/DO's heads full of crap.
- 2Mar 24, '08 by elkparkI never believe anything a drug rep tells me about any drug (heck, if a drug rep told me the sky is blue and the grass is green, I wouldn't believe her/him!) I'm not specifically accusing the reps of being liars; I realize they're just repeating what their employers tell them to say, and they're not really in a position to know, first hand, whether the info is true or not.
I remember when the drug reps were telling us that Xanax wasn't addictive. (Honestly -- that was how Xanax was marketed when it first came out -- it was (supposedly) a big improvement over Valium because it wasn't addictive like Valium. :chuckle) I got into a big argument with a drug rep at a conference display over that -- I had just recently been bitten at work by a woman in Xanax withdrawal ...
And there hasn't yet been a sleeping pill that doesn't produce, at least, dependence.
- 2Mar 24, '08 by dekatnPersonally, I think any drug can become addictive, especially to someone who has that type personality.
- 1Mar 24, '08 by birdgardnerI only took Ambien for three weeks, but its working for only 3-4 hours does not mean your friend is habituated - that happened to me the first nights I took it; I'd be wide awake at 2 am. The extended release worked for around 6 hours.
Whether your friend puts herself at risk w/ earplugs and Ambien in her home at night is her business. The bizarre behavior and emotional snaps that you have to deal with on your time together IS your concern and if you were to address that only she might be more receptive.
- 0Mar 24, '08 by justme1972I appreciate all of the responses. It's the bizarre behavior and the additional of the valium that has got me the most concerned.
She calls me alot with personal problems, and I'm the type of friend that never faults someone for that...some friends need more support than others...however, all of her problems are traced back to her sleeping too much and her behavior when on the Ambien.
At one point, she was getting ready to lose her job...the reason? She was always late b/c she never could hear the alarm. I finally bought her one that sounded like a cow-bell that was really loud, so she could hear that through the earplugs...again, oversleeping d/t Ambien.
She is either always not showing up or is very late b/c of oversleeping. Her "favorite" day of the week is Saturday b/c when she gets up on the morning, she literally, takes another Ambien to sleep throughout the day so she can go out that night and stay up late.
You can never get ahold of her b/c she always has the ringer off b/c she's sleeping...and that makes communication impossible.
She just eventually became my highest maintenance friend and so much so, I just didn't have the energy to keep it up anymore.
- 0Mar 24, '08 by beachbum3I'm not sure Ambien is addictive in the typical sense of addiction, however, my stepmother is an addict- but an addict to a particular feeling. She abused Ambien, Xanax and alcohol, sometimes all at once, and in more recent times always one drug or the other with alcohol at the same time. She'd take Ambien, more than her prescribed amount, then drink a bunch, stagger around and not go to bed, slurring her speech, acting ridiculous, going into rages over nothing, was constantly in a state of paranoia, the whole bit, until she just passed out. She liked the feeling of depressants, it didn't matter how she got them. Her father is an MD and she would just call him and he'd prescribe her what ever she wanted. She has done this for years and years and years, except she didn't mix alcohol with it until about 4 years ago. For a long time she would take a sleeping pill, but stay up so she could feel the "effect", and act really bizarre, then claim she had insomnia and had been up for days because she "couldn't" sleep, and we all believed her and chalked up her crazy behavior to lack of sleep. Really the truth was she forced herself to stay up. If she couldn't get ahold of any pills, she'd just stay up for days on end until she felt the same as she did either on pills or drunk. When she started adding in the alcohol, my Dad started seeing what was going on, he'd come home from work and she'd be passed out on the kitchen floor and he couldn't wake her up. He found bottles of alcohol and beer hidden in weird places, sometimes empty or full, the same with pills. She's been in and out of rehab- inpatient and outpatient and finally now has been sober 4 months. She would go in stints, sober for a month, go on a binge, sober for 2 months go on a binge. She never made it past 90 days until now.
So addiction problems can happen to people even with drugs that aren't addictive in the typical sense. My stepmother's addiction is psychological, not physical, if that makes sense.

HOLYOKE – Thursday, April 4, 2013 – Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray today toured the Holyoke Soldiers' Home to highlight the Patrick-Murray Administration's continued commitment to supporting Massachusetts veterans. Lieutenant Governor Murray was joined on today's visit by Massachusetts Department of Veterans' Services (DVS) Secretary Coleman Nee for a meeting with Superintendent Paul Barabani and Board Chair Steve Como, followed by a tour of the facility.
"Massachusetts is proud to support and honor all of our veterans," said Lieutenant Governor Murray, Chair of the Governor's Council on Veterans' Services. "The Holyoke Soldiers' Home provides critical services for veterans throughout western Massachusetts and we're committed to working with them and all providers to ensure veterans receive the high quality care and benefits they deserve."
Governor Deval Patrick's Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 budget includes an increase in funding by nearly 7 percent for veterans' services and 3.3 percent for the Holyoke Soldiers' Home. Last month, Governor Patrick also filed a capital supplemental bill and a series of multi-year bond bills that will support the FY2013-2017 Capital Investment Plan. The plan continues the Patrick-Murray Administration's efforts to grow jobs and economic opportunity through strategic investments in the Commonwealth's infrastructure. If passed by the legislature, the Administration will have the authorization to consider funding future projects at the Holyoke Soldiers' Home. All projects would be eligible for federal funding matches of 65 percent if approved by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) and DVS are beginning a study to be completed in 2013 which will consider all options for potential renovations and expansion of services.
"I am proud to be part of an Administration that leads the nation in its support of those who serve our country," said EOHHS Secretary John Polanowicz. "The Patrick-Murray Administration has consistently made veterans and military families a priority, as exhibited in Governor Patrick's budget, in which veteran's services would see an increase in funding to ensure that every generation of Massachusetts' veterans has access to the benefits they deserve."
Over the last six years, the Patrick-Murray Administration has increased funding for the Department of Veterans' Services and Soldiers' Homes in Holyoke and Chelsea by 47 percent or $42.5 million. This increased funding supports care and services for the rising number of veterans and their families in Massachusetts.
"The Patrick-Murray Administration has continued to keep veterans issues at the forefront," said Secretary Nee. "I look forward to working closely with Superintendent Barabani to ensure the Holyoke Soldiers Home is providing the finest services to our veterans for years to come."
Among the range of services for veterans supported by the Patrick-Murray Administration, Secretary Polanowicz joined veterans and local officials for the grand opening of the Veterans' Assistance Center at the Soldiers' Home in Holyoke earlier this year. The new Veterans' Assistance Center provides veterans and their family members with information and assistance on eligibility and application for state and federal benefits, disability services, community referrals and interaction with veteran service agents. Those served include residents of the Soldiers' Home, those using out-patient or dental services, veterans from communities throughout western Massachusetts and veterans returning from conflict overseas. The center is staffed with certified service officers from the Disabled American Veterans Chapters of Holyoke, West Springfield and Agawam and the Bilingual Veterans Outreach Center of Springfield.
In addition to the new Veterans' Assistance Center at the Soldiers' Home in Holyoke, the Patrick-Murray Administration, with the support of the state legislature, also authorized $671,000 during FY 2012 to provide 12 additional beds to serve veterans at the Holyoke Soldiers' Home. Recognizing dental care as a major unmet need for veterans, the Administration also worked with the Home in 2011 to reopen the Holyoke Dental Clinic that now serves veterans throughout western Massachusetts. Additionally, following Governor Patrick's call in 2012 for a comprehensive plan to address and treat Alzheimer's disease for patients in Massachusetts, the Holyoke Soldiers' Home has been at the forefront of providing early detection, education and care for veterans and their families affected by Alzheimer's disease.
The Patrick-Murray Administration leads the nation in providing for our veterans. In addition to the Governor's proposed FY 2014 budget and improvements at the Holyoke Soldiers Home, the Administration continues to implement initiatives to support employment assistance and workforce training programs for members of the armed forces, veterans and their spouses. Most recently, the Administration announced that all state agencies that oversee professional licensing within the Administration have established guidelines to assist members of the armed forces, veterans and their spouses as they prepare and apply for jobs in Massachusetts. In early March, Governor Patrick also signed an executive order to help small businesses owned by disabled veterans increase access to contracts for public projects in the areas of construction, design and goods and services procurement. This executive order also follows the Governor's authorization of the VALOR Act to provide greater assistance to help veteran-owned small business participate in public projects. In 2011, the Administration launched an aggressive employment campaign aimed to increase the hiring of Massachusetts veterans. Among these initiatives, the Patrick-Murray Administration partnered with major trade associations to encourage them to hire veterans and circulate information on veterans' benefits.

Slick Trick Magnum 4-Blade Fixed Broadheads - 3 Pack 6 6
4 blade is a great broadhead Love the 4 blade they open the wound up great and provide a nice blood trail. Wish these were wider is all but they cut and fly great October 22, 2014
Toughest,sharpest and most accurate fixed blade broadhead This is my first year bow hunting and I've been looking for broadheads for months. When I saw slick tricks I thought they were just another FB broadhead. But as I read more and more great reviews I new these were the best. I bought a pack of 100 grain magnums put them together in 5 seconds and went out to shoot. Very first shot no tuning or anything was right next to my field point almost cut my vane off. And they are VERY sharp. If you are thinking about buying them do it you won't regret it. July 14, 2014
great broadhead Fly great.I shot my first buck today the shot was back like center of the deer.The deer weighed 190 pounds.The arrow went through the deer at 30 yards and went 30 more yards into the ground about 6 inchs.The hole was big.The deer made it about 75 yards.Pulled arrow out of the ground and cleaned it off.The blades looked as sharp as they were before i shot it.Great broadhead. October 22, 2011
Poor Quality Good arrow flight but could not get all the blades to tighten together. Blades would not hold a sharpe edge. Just a cheaply made Broadhead. August 27, 2011
The Best! Strong,Sharp,Field tip Flight! Bow hunting has never been better Shoot through bone with no problems very sharp blades cut slug size holes at 35yds August 13, 2011
Super slick slick tricks Be very carefull when you assemble them because you will cut yourself. July 21, 2010

Miley and Liam Aren't In Any Rush To The Altar
The pair, who got engaged in June 2012, have decided to put off that walk down the aisle -- so could this mean there won't be a Mrs. Miley Hemsworth in the singer's future?
Although they originally planned to tie the knot this summer, it seems they're just taking their time, according to PEOPLE.
A source told the mag, "They want to figure out their life together before they get married."
"They're still engaged and living together. They just realized that there is no rush with the wedding and that it's better that they wait a bit."
But wedding or not, Cyrus is still in with the Hemsworth family. She's already "Aunt Miley."
Do you think this is a bad sign for the couple? Do you think they'll make it to the altar? Tell us below.
