[IMAGE]SEPTASilverlinerDebutWEB-2.jpg[/IMAGE] Last week, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) introduced its first new Silverliner V Regional Rail train, placed in regular passenger service.
The trip into Center City on these gleaming, new-car-smelling railcars was followed by a customer appreciation ceremony at Suburban Station, where the inaugural run ended.
SEPTA's first Silverliner V train, consisting of three new state-of-the-art railcars, made its first service call as Train Number 1062 on the Cynwyd Line. It departed Cynwyd Station shortly after 9 a.m., then made the route's usual stops at Bala, Wynnefield and 30th Street Stations, before ending at Suburban Station, where it broke through a huge "Welcome" banner before coming to a rest.
Now, however, the train is just another member of the Regional Rail fleet — dispatched on different lines throughout the system, wherever needed to serve customers. SEPTA wants to give all its customers the chance to experience the new ride. The train's full service schedule for the first week of November is posted online at www.septa.org/silverliner.
The three railcars included in this initial rollout are the first of 120 new Silverliner V rail cars SEPTA is purchasing under a $274 million contract with Hyundai-Rotem USA, which has opened a new facility in South Philadelphia to do fabrication and assembly work. The company ships the train shells to Philadelphia from its plant in South Korea.
The new trains will allow SEPTA to bolster its railcar fleet and add passenger capacity on Regional Rail, which will help alleviate over-crowding for riders. The additions will also usher in a well-deserved retirement for some of SEPTA's oldest trains. Approximately 70 cars that have been in service on these lines since the mid-1960s will be pulled from the tracks permanently after the new cars are up-and-running.
The Silverliner Vs were designed with the goal of improving the experience of SEPTA's customers, with amenities such as bright and spacious interiors, large windows and mid-car doorways. There are digital panels displaying trip details inside and out, and interior flat-panel screens provide the latest travel updates. The trains also feature state-of-the-art, energy-efficient climate control systems.
The train wreck, which occurred in the early morning of March 24, 2014, when the operator allegedly fell asleep, injured more than 30 people and caused roughly $9 million in damage. The lead railcar had to be cut up to remove it from the escalator.
The vehicle, which was a designed and built by Brookville Equipment Corp., will be the first streetcar in the U.S. that utilizes wireless traction power.
Opened in 1935, Newark Penn Station is listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The station was originally designed and still operates as an intermodal facility serving pedestrian, taxi, bus and private vehicle traffic generated by the more than 50,000 transit customers who use the station each day.
Part of the problem is an aging fleet, according to officials. Calgary Transit placed a $200-million deal in 2013 to buy 60 new light rail vehicles; however, those vehicles will not be operational until 2016.
The new trains for Hermann-Hesse railway line will be completely emission-free. In times of increasing energy costs and higher level of pollution, the development of this technology is essential.

In North Beach you will find a lot of great cafe's and restaurants like this one.
North Beach
Situated South of Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach is everything Italian. Walking around North Beach one quickly sees all the Italian cafes and restaurants on almost every inch of the block. The primary Historical landmark in North Beach is the twin spires of St. Peter and Paul Church. While it has become one of the most priciest neighborhoods in town, it still remains humble and open to everyone. The beach that gave this town its name has been taken over by landfill.
Be sure to visit Union Square and sit at any of the cool cafe's and coffee shops. And then stay for dinner at a nice authentic family Italian restaurant.
See North Beach in our Neighborhoods section.

I am looking at picking a date in Primefaces Mobile with "calendar" component:
<p:calendar value="#{bean.date}" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm" />
The calendar pops up but it looks very odd. It overlaps the page content in a transparent way.
Is there a work around for this issue? Or a way to get it pop up correctly inside a dialog? Maybe to combine another framework with Primefaces?
By the way, the dialog seems not to work too in Primefaces Mobile.

Each week Alterra Coffee Roasters (Milwaukee, WI) offers a special Coffee/Espresso by the pound or cup, this week they are presenting beans from their "Featured Farm Series", Burundi Kayanza Nemba.
Alterra's Featured Farm Series was created as a way to recognize the efforts of the farmers that work hard to produce the best coffees and do what we love to do the most – connect people who want to drink great coffees with the farmers who produce them.
This is their first ever offering from the Republic of Burundi. The small landlocked country (about 1/6 the size of Wisconsin) sits right in the heart of the Great Lakes region of Africa bordering Rwanda, Tanzania, and Lake Tanganyika — a huge lake, larger in area than Burundi itself. Coffee is the country's largest export and 90% of its population relies on farming so it comes as no surprise that the people of Burundi have a talent for growing and harvesting coffee. Coffee exports are a major source of income for Burundi, and have been helpful in rebuilding the country following a 12-year civil war, which ended in only 2005. This coffee is grown in the Kayanza region in northern Burundi in the locality of Nemba.
Burundi Kayanza Nemba is a washed coffee comprised of Bourbon variety as well as lesser-known Jackson and Mibirizi varieties, which are Bourbon cultivars native to Africa. Burundi has a very high average elevation (over 1,700masl), and has a great supply of heirloom varieties left by the Belgians from the early 20th century.
Alterra's excited to share this coffee with you and hope you enjoy its vibrant, winy acidity, flavors of plum and dried mission fig and creamy, sweet body. As an espresso, the densely layered flavors are wound around a tight core of sweetness and heavy body.

Figless garden
Hello to all the fig lovers in here. I was never a fig fan and all that changed when I first bit into one. A (ripe) one. Turns out that my very first impression of figs came from eating unriped ones. Now I wish to grow some. I've looked online for cuttings but was a bit disappointed in how expensive they are. At this point I'd be happy to have just one cutting to baby. I was wondering if anyone on this forum had any cuttings to spare. Any variety will do. I dont have anything to trade as this is my first planting attempt. I would be happy to pay for shipping. Are there any proud fig growers out there who would like to share? Thank you so much. -Sincery One bald garden
Some words: I do not think that cuttings or fig trees are so expensive.
However, since it often the writers from the United States are resident in suitable places (or not) for figs (or other plants) you should add your profile in wich state you're in, and what is your climate (USDA zone).
It is not true that you have nothing to share, if you really like about a plant, or cuttings, you can buy or look for others, to send in balanced exchange.
Just like I did.
Credibility is hardly purchased, it is rarely accepted free.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to step on anyone's toe. I am new to this forum and don't really know my ropes. I'm 15 and came across this site when looking for cuttings online. I know I'm too young to be on here but just wanted to start somewhere. I meant it being expensive because of shipping as well and those are only for cutting that I'm not sure I will even be able to root. I am new to this and have manage to kill everything I try to plant. Only asking if anyone had any cuttings to spare. There are unknown plants in my backyard growing mostly grass so not sure how to exchange that. Do I collect seeds or make root. Please forgive me I am new to this and heard figs are easy for beginners plus I started to like the fruit too. Just asking that's all.
I just read your posting. A few things that you write about need some correcting.
YOU absolutely belong on this forum. This is not an exclusive club of fig snobs, and we all welcome you. We will definitely help you get your fig collection started, and growing. At 15 years old, you will have many wonderful years ahead of you to grow delicious figs.
We need to know where you live and your climate zone. Not just any fig variety will do well in all locations. It is always better to match a variety to a specific climate location. This will assure you that you will be able to ripen figs in your area. If you do not know your climate zone, give us forum members your location, and we will tell you what figs will grow well for you.
Growing figs from cuttings can be a lot of fun, but will take a few years to bear fruit. Starting with a small tree that's near bearing age will give you quicker results. You can usually find larger plants that are not too expensive. If you have a neighbor who is growing figs, try air-layering a larger 1" branch, and you will have an "instant" fig tree. ("Air Layering" is very easy to learn, and directions, and photos can be found on this fig forum).
You will be very surprised at how many members will try to help you get a good fig variety for your location. Figs are very easy to grow and you will be successful. You just need to learn about some essential requirements that will keep your new tree(s) alive. (..."I'm new to this and have managed to kill everything I try to plant"...) Why? Please read as much as possible about HOW to grow fig trees, and you will do great.
Please, never feel that your questions are too basic. Post all your questions, and we will help you. By next season, you will know what it will take to grow your first fig tree.
Please keep this forum in mind, and provide us with some of the information about your climate...maybe even a few photos of your backyard.
Good luck, and welcome to this fig forum.
To start (probably at a lower cost to you), you can get free cuttings (fig and some other fruit trees) from the USDA.
The website is:
You have to act quick as:
"Orders for dormant cuttings or budwood must be received by November 1st,
and are shipped in January/February" as quoted by this website.
If you going to place the order(you may need your parents to help you out on the selection of plants and shipping issues), post here of the details. Everyone here would love to know how you are progressing as a plant grower.
Hi, SeedTragedy:
Before you get excited and get carried away of getting the
free cuttings while looking through the USDA
website I provided, read the:
"Propagating the USDA Davis cuttings - a report"
here in the Fig forum.
Look through the communications there and get a glimpse
of what to expect.
Frank, thank you so much for the encouragement. I was a little nervous checking this post unsure of what I was about to read. Your words were so kind and encouraging, thank you so much. If I had a tree that grew money, I'd definitely give you many cuttings free of charge.If I had anything to share I would. You are awesome and it's people like you who make forums like this so fun and interesting. I live in a zone 7 and have not had a chance to take and upload pictures of my yard but will soon. I'm slowly learning and WOW! I didn't realize there were so many different varieties. It's crazy but in a good way. Just this morning my sister and I went for a walk and found what I thought was a fig tree. I took the cutting home only to find out it was a mulberry. That's one tree less to stay away from because it's not a fig tree.
@ Fignewbie, thank you so much! You have really made my night and I think I'm beggining to love this forum because of people like you and Frank. You guys are so cool! I told my parents about the site and they were willing to help. We attempted to fill out the request but it is so confusing...... not sure how to fill out the accession? text query, simple query..I simply don't understand. How were you able to fill it out? Thank you soo sooo much in advance. Everything is much appreciated.
It is hard to navigate the GRIN sites. The best one I've seen is the pear accessions. If you click on the link below you can select "List all available" the fig list will pop up. From there you can choose which figs you are interested in and then press "Request this germplasm". It will basically put it in a "Cart" for you and then you can follow the prompts. When you have selected what you want you choose "Complete the germplasm request and order the material." It will ask you what your purpose for the request is. I have said that I am trialing cold-hardy varieties.
It is important to have a UPS or FEDEX account set up and to give them your account number so they can send it to you without costing them money. (Which keeps things working so others can benefit later). I believe you will need to put this information in the form where it asks for comments regarding the request.
I've only done this a couple of times so anyone else with more information please chime in.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ficus carica
Hi, SeedTragedy:
Actually I haven't place the order to USDA yet,
how I knew about the free cutting was after seeing
the following website:
Then I found this fig forum and got to know more
from the members here.
You can watch about fig of USDA from this website:
Relax and enjoy all the prior postings about how to choose, grow, and enjoy fig trees. Growing a fig tree in Zone-7 (where?...what state?) will be fairly easy if some Winter precautions are taken to protect your tree(s).
Yes, there are hundreds of varieties from which to choose, and you will be growing some good varieties that are very delicious, in no time at all.
For your first fig, try "Chicago Hardy" / "Hardy Chicago". It's a great-tasting fig, produces at an early age, easy to get, and is fairly hardy in your climate zone. You cannot go wrong with this variety. Learn how to grow this variety well, and then move on to other, more exotic/expensive/rarer varieties.
Very important! HOW will you over-Winter your fig trees? Roots must be kept cool, but not frozen solid. Most members of this forum either store trees in coll garages, and sheds....or cover, even bury their trees for protection from freezing.
When I was 15 years old, I had no time to wait for anything, and jumped into things with both feet. Just a suggestion....since it the end of the season, spend some time reading about what it will take to keep your fig trees alive, and growing. You can grow these trees either planted in the ground, or, in large containers. Each method will have requirements that you must provide for your trees...but it's easy. Next Spring when the season starts, you will have enough knowledge to grow and keep your new trees alive and well. Please do not hesitate to grow a tree next Spring. Figs are some of the easiest fruit trees that you will ever grow, and you will spend many happy hours tending to your trees.
Make sure you post and ask many questions. This is the place to get all the information that will turn you into a fig-growing expert.
Contact me (e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com) with anything you need to know. I'll try to help you and other new growers.
..."coll garages" ...7th line down, should read: "cool garages".
Sorry, for the typo.
Hi, SeedTragedy:
Please ask your every, older family members to help sharing the load of looking through all the information I gave you as I don't want you to strain your precious eyes with these information! Please let your eyes rest for 5 minutes by looking away after looking at the computer for a while! This is what I called: Practice eye care!
So TO RELAX!
1 more websites for you and your family to see: (hope this
is not too much info for you and your family)
1st website-http://www.treesofjoy.com/fig-varieties-collection
Trees of Joy (Just to look and jot down remarks after looking through the comments of different types of fig trees, does not cover all fig varieties of
USDA, but is a start)
I was going to give you another website, an online nursery
of plants on sale of reasonable price, but I had to restraint myself from doing this.
The reason is that at this moment, it is better for you(if you want those free fig cuttings from USDA) to finish filling out the form and send the request before Nov 1.
I will send you this online nursery website after
Nov 1.
Good Luck!
Sorry for the late post.
I will gladly give you three free cuttings, hopefully of different varieties. I'm in Florida and have over 50 ripening figs on my trees. Come mid-December, the fruit will have mysteriously disappeared, and I can safely take my cuttings.
Email me at email@example.com in December and I will shoot you some cuttings. Free fig cuttings, free postage. Best deal in town.
Hello Seed Tragedy,
See the above posting. You get three free cuttings after all my current figs are ripe. FIgure on mid-December, as I am in Florida and the fruit is just rollig in now.
I'm taking names/addresses now for orders. You get 3 cuttings with free postage. Purple, white and black fig tree cuttings. Not sure of varieties, but oh well. Just email me and they will be yours.
Hello Fignewbies,
Pulling about 5 figs a day right now. By mid-December, they will be gone and the trees will go dormant. If SeedTragedy does email me, then free tree cuttings will go out. I offer this to pretty much anybody who asks.
Notice at the top of this thread how others were offering advice on where to go for cuttings. Sheesh! There are a million fig trees in America. Why don't folks just be good neighbors about it and give cuttings for free? Lord knows that every fig tree owner prunes each year and therefore a million cuttings get tossed in the trash. What a waste!
I just don't get it. Anyway, if you too would like some free cuttings, just email me at email@example.com with the shipping info (name/address) and I'll put you on the list.
Most trees today have the mosaic virus and mine are no different. It does not affect the fruit size, taste or abundance. If you already have trees without the discolored leaves, don't bring in any which do, as it is probably the mosaic virus, and it will jump to your trees too.
Hi, budbackeast:
Thank you for your offering but I have to pass it
to someone else who needs your cuttings.
Since I live in Ontario, Canada, the figs have to be
hardy, short-seasoned.
Talking about waste, I was watching a youtube about the
USDA planting site of fig trees.
The fig trees were big and there was so many figs on the
trees and numerous of mature figs had dropped to the ground.
This is such a waste! I guess they don't want any
unauthorized people picking those figs because of
legal issues (person falling from climbing the tree and then sue the organization for compensation)!

AMD Puts Out Radeon HD 6000 Open-Source Driver 138
from the incremental-promise-fulfillment dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
For all the Slashdot posters who keep begging for Linux support and talking about how big companies constantly ignore you, this is your chance.
Buy AMD. Be vocal that the reason you're buying an AMD video card is because of their driver. Vote with your wallet.
(On the CPU front, you can make an equal case for Intel supporting open source).
I didn't see any mention of VAAPI [wikipedia.org] or XvBA [wikipedia.org] Acceleration for playing media? How about OpenCL [wikipedia.org] support?
Granted the HD 6000 [amd.com] looks more like a gamers card than something you'd stick in a home theater pc, but I'd think that OpenCL support would interest quite a few people doing massive number crunching. Especially since there's even PyOpenCL [python.org] available.
Maybe you should stop running the Pre-Alpha version of RHEL and move up to a distribution intended for end users if you don't want to solve problems and do Alpha testing for Redhat.
Come back when we have hardware acceleration. Linux video playback needs CPU horse power. Even the iphone/ipod touch handles h.264 video better than linux. Whether we like it or not, that's the defacto codec these days and decoding is built into just about every device and video card. And yet, linux still cannot use them. Windows had it in '06.
Sigmund Freud is alleged to have said that in the last analysis the entire field of psychology may reduce to biological electrochemistry.

Super Value at winter ratesPosted Jan 22, 2015
Pros: It felt homey, comfortable, safe and adequate for our needs. Ceramic mugs and glass cups in the room. Nice staff. Hot Tub!
Cons: warmer lighting, softer towels, fresh carpet
We chose the Days Inn in Bend for the hot tub use after skiing. We're getting older and our bodies need the TLC. Several other properties close their spas in winter! The building was older and the room with one queen bed was not spacious. Yet there was a fridge/ microwave/ flat screen TV /sofa and small table which were all useful. The breakfast was better than average. The staff were pleasant and very accommodating. We like to park in front of our door. There wasn't any traffic noise that we were bothered by. The shower was good but the towels were on the thin scratchy side. There is a large fenced grassy area to exercise your pet (or kids) too. Green Planet restaurant next door was good and kid friendly. Safeway across the main road was convenient and has deli selections. We got the room too warm the first night so take it easy on the thermostat! The hot tub was bliss!

Good BreakfastPosted Jan 3, 2015
Pros: The breakfast and the staff
Cons: The room just need to be redone/upgraded and I understand this is in the process
Location: Location is in the middle of a commercial district and all services are close.
The motel room was more then adequate, but nothing special. It was clean and had all the necessary items to make it more then just comfortable. The one great thing about our stay was the full hot breakfast that they serve. both my wife and I are early risers and like a big breakfast before starting on the next leg of our trip. The breakfast that they set out was outstanding and got us on our way feeling great

Clean room, great bed.Posted Dec 12, 2014
Pros: Nothing stands out because we felt at home.
Location: Do have enough time to do much other than drive through town but liked that it was convenient to grocery and drug stores.
Got there late but still enjoyed the room and the great night's sleep on a very comfortable mattress.

Great location Hotel was in central locationPosted Dec 3, 2014
Pros: Location and room rates
Cons: Upgrades to the Hotel, rooms very outdated décor and heating and cooling systems. Hotel room we were in was very overcrowded.
Location: Centralized location and access to major shopping areas either downtown or to the Bend Outlet Factory stores
The Hotel provided a great central location and easy access to main roads. The Hotel was reasonably priced considering it was an older hotel. We chose this hotel because of the location, low price and complimentary hot/cold breakfast. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Convenient and ComfortablePosted Dec 1, 2014
Pros: Room amenities include coffee pot, fridge and microwave. Outside hot tub seems to run all year round including in snow, not on this visit though.
Cons: Just noticed bird droppings on outside of bathroom window. (Minor)
Location: On Business route In Bend with many usual eateries along the route within a few blocks. Most do close early though on a Friday night.
Got in late but front desk was very helpful and asked what floor I was interested in. Have stayed there before and the room reminded me why I stayed again. The price is right and the room is clean and comfortable with nice soft towels. Turned on room heater and watched television until falling asleep quickly after long drive. Able to sleep in with no notice of noise outside in morning.

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything
Location: Jack in the Box - Whoopie!
Much nicer places to stay in Bend. I canceled my second night stay because it sucked so bad. Days Inn refused to refund second night. Choose another motel.

When your parent/s get to an older age or need looking after, are you and your siblings going to take responsibility for them? If so, do you expect financial/care help from other family members e.g. Aunt's, Uncles, Cousin's etc

I think the safest approach is not to expect anything at all.
I know that I personally would care for my elderly parents and pay for their needs if so. I would not expect my siblings to contribute but would be happy if they did.
I certainly would not expect more distant relatives (cousins etc) to contribute to their care.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 12:49 PM
My Parents have made there requests on this subject clear to us all. They are happy to stay home together until they can't and are happy to go to a nursing home/facility low or high care whatever is required at that stage.
They have savings to cover this. However my siblings and I would cover any shortfall if it were required. No assistance outside of immediate family would be expected or asked for.
We do joke though that one of my siblings has to have them as a running joke even Ma and Pa tease them senselessly over it.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 12:51 PM
I'm at that stage now - my mum passed away about 18 months ago and my dad is living on his own and although he's still managing, he's only going to get more frail.
My sister is not really involved, so I think the burden is going to fall on me to co-ordinate things.
Luckily my dad should be in a position to pay for the things he needs (I'm hoping) If he wasn't, I would see it as a responsibility for my sister and I to share.
I can't see any circumstance where the extended family (his one remaining brother and a number of nieces and nephews) should be expected to support him financially.
I'd certainly appreciate it if they keep in touch and visit occasionally, but that's all.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 12:52 PM
There are four of us, me 38 up to sister who is 47. We all keep an eye out for our folks. My dad was left very ill and with a disability last year after a motor vehicle accident and we all rallied, his sisters all took turn sitting with him in hospital. I don't think his brothers did as much. We certainly did not expect financial support from them, but they are good with moral support.

Yes. My parents are financially independent though so it won' t be a financial strain. However, all care will be my responsibility ( with DH's help) as my one sibling us barely able to look after himself. I live locally to my patents as well.
With DH'S parents ( who are already in their 70's) , the burden if care will most likely fall onto his sisters, simply because they live locally to his parents and are single without children. DH will do what he can but will have at least two young children and lives 2000 km away hen it comes to a head.
It always strikes me as unfair that care of elderly parents usually falls on the daughter/s.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 12:57 PM
If we found ourselves in the situation of having an elderly parent come live with us i would expect them to contribute financially to the household and be responsible financially for their own affairs, health care etc. Currently my parents are fully self funded retirees. If they didn't have enough money to pay their own way so to speak I would expect my siblings to pay equal amounts to their care.
I wouldn't expect any financial help at all from anyone except from other siblings (ie the elderly persons children).
Posted 18 February 2013 - 12:57 PM
This subject has been at the back of my mind for a while now as my parents, both in their eighties, are starting to wear out. I have an older brother and a younger sister, both of whom have careers and live in units with no spare accomodation. We have four bedrooms and two teenagers who will possibly be moving out within the next few years. In addition to this my husband has terminal lung cancer with a probability he will only be with us for 12-18 months at best. Should it become necessary my parent/s will come to live with me and any expenses should be more than covered by the sale of their house. If necessary my brother and sister are more than willing to act as respite cares and financial contributors.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:01 PM
I don't think it is usual to expect support from anyone other than the children. Aunts, Uncles etc all have their own immediate family to care for.
Of course it becomes complicated if one sibling is closer or considered by the others to be in a better position to care for the parents (either physically or financially) but that would just be an individual situation for each family and I would imagine that once your parents are reaching that age, that there would be no surprises, ie. the sibling who has always been generous with time and money will continue to be, the one that only thinks of themselves will continue to be that way too.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:06 PM
thats what Im afraid of my parents getting old and frail!! They arent in a good money situation, my mum has just put her mum in a nursing home and is having trouble dealing with work and helping settle her mum in and to be honest i dont want anything to do with my brothers so wont be discussing anything with them!
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:08 PM
In our family, it has been the responsibility of the elderly themselves (with own assets, talking through potentialities etc) along with their children. When incapacitated, either mentally or physically, it comes down to the spouse/children. No one else is involved, except for visits etc.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:09 PM
I think it is the responsibility of their children, not the extended family. I am lucky with my parents because they can pay their own way, but I will have to organise everything. My brother lives in another state, so I can't see him being able to help that much.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:10 PM
The care of my parents will most likely fall on me, I have 2 siblings who I know will help, but it wouldn't be financially. My eldest 2 siblings I doubt will help in any capacity at all (the eldest may help with dad, but wouldn't with mum). Financially my parents aren't that well off, and unfortunately most of the money they did have is now gone, so I could definitely see myself being 'out of pocket' on my own so to speak, though at this point it doesn't bother me.
My partner will also be most likely the main carer for his mother, financially and health wise she is fine at this point. He is the eldest, so it is considered his responsibility, and they come from a country where there are few aged care facilities elders are looked after by family and she's absolutely terrified that she's going to be put in one.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:15 PM
I care for my grandad, who is still currently living in his own home. When it comes to the point he can no longer live there he will come to live with me. He has 4 children, 2 of whom would contribute financially. One would also contribute to care (my mum). I would have no qualms about contributing financially as my Grandad has done a lot for me over the years.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:17 PM
It's a while off for us yet, but DH and I will definitely be caring for his parents when the time comes. They have helped us out so much that I could not contemplate not being the ones caring for them in their twilight years.
Hopefully with my mother we'll be in a situation to do the care for her as well. I can't see my siblings being in any situation to care for her when the time comes. However Mum is more than happy to go into a nursing home if need be so in that aspect she is much easier than MIL who is terrified of going into a nursing home situation. MIL worked in one of the worse nursing homes when she was younger and it has forever coloured her opinion of them.
My father? I hope he has someone lined up to do that stuff because I most certainly am not caring for him in his dotage. I don't speak to him now and it's going to take a lot to get me to forgive him for what he has done.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:23 PM
I would never want my kids to be burdened with my living costs when I'm older. I'd be devastated to have to ask anyone for financial help. God knows living expenses are high enough now.
I would like to think that my parents are making responsible decisions now so they can get through retirement without seeking financial assistance from us. I know they aren't though. How we'd pay for anything extra right now is beyond me.
So no, I don't think anyone should EXPECT to be taken care of financially by anyone other than themselves. Care is different. I'd happily care for older rellies (realistically, ie when I'm not working or running the kids around).
Of course there are unexpected exceptions.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:26 PM
DP and I are planning to move interstate in the next five to ten years as her parents are getting a bit older.
DP will definitely be the one caring for her parents as she is the one who takes time off work now when her parents are ill and require care.
I have said that my mum can move in with us. My mum is still quite young though, and exercises regularly, so I think it'll be a long time before she'll need care. She is not well off financially, but I think we probably will be by then so I don't mind at all paying her expenses.
I don't know that I'd be good at all as a full-time carer, so I'd probably hire someone to help out especially with things like toileting and showering, if necessary, because I'd find it really strange to have to help my own mother go to the toilet. I wouldn't like the role reversal. I'd be happy to do the cleaning and cooking and that kind of stuff, though.
It would be best if we could buy a house with a granny flat or a second storey, because it would be good to have our own space and for her to have her own space to decorate and have her own stuff in. She talks an awful lot, too, so a granny flat would be ideal for when we just needed some time apart.

When your parent/s get to an older age or need looking after, are you and your siblings going to take responsibility for them? If so, do you expect financial/care help from other family members e.g. Aunt's, Uncles, Cousin's etc
Something came up yesterday that has thrown me a little bit.
My father has died, so it's my mum we would have to think about. She has already told us her preference for a few aged care places. We have already brought up the topic of downsizing to a place which doesn't have stairs, etc so she has started to think about that. If Mum couldn't cover the cost, my siblings and I would do so, although I doubt my brother will help much. My sister lives in the same city as my Mum, so the day-to-day care involvement will fall to her by default. She knows this and is okay with it (at this stage). I will help out financially as much as I can, although we think Mum is covered for the eventuality of nursing care.
DH's mother expects that someone will take care of her. She has stated it emphatically many times that she would rather die than go into a nursing home. I have no idea what will happen with her as her dream is unlikely to happen with any of her children. She has enough to support herself in nursing care if it is necessary. I suspect that she would like to stay with us (her first preference, as she seems to have a much more volatile relationship with her daughter), but I think DH would move heaven and earth for that NOT to happen.
We also live interstate, so it makes it very attractive for any of our parents to leave their own home/local neighbourhoods to live with us.
Depends on the family structure if aunts, uncles, cousins get involved. For some families, this makes sense, for other families, it wouldn't.
If one of my aunts/uncles didn't have children, I expect I would help them out as they get older. Thankfully, all my aunts/uncles have plenty of kids to help them out, so that's not an issue for us.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:28 PM
My parents will live in heir own home for as long as they are able. When they are no longer able, they will go into a retirement complex with support available. If they live long enough to need nursing home care, that is what they will do.
I don't expect that any of their four children will have to care for them as such. Of course we'll still spend time together and help when we can but we all work full time and have our own families to care for so it wouldn't be practical to have them live with us. I don't think my parents would like to live with me anyway.
I remember when my grandmother (Dads mother) became frail, my Dad arranged for her to move into a nursing home rather than have her live with us so I doubt he'd expect more from his own children.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:29 PM
My mum is caring for two sisters, one who never married or had children, and one who is widowed and has two sons.
They are still living independently, but its looking like arrangements will have to be made, as their medical needs are becoming more and more complex.
My mum calls on them daily, ferries to and from appointments, takes them to information sessions about diet etc, takes them to hydrotherapy etc - honestly my mum is awesome, but by god, the rage I feel at my two cousins for just ignoring their mothers situation....
Anyway.. my dad is becoming increasingly frail - I'm the only daughter, and I live closest to my parents, and I can definitely see the difference between my brothers and I and our differing levels of concern and worry for my parents.
There are also wildly different financial situations between us children too, so honestly, I don't know what would happen if my parents health went pear shaped - dad's nearly 80, and his only wish is a quick and painless dignified death... seeing FIL in a nursing home with Alzheimer's and his beautiful mind dying in front of us, I wish for the same for us all.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:38 PM
We are in this situation now, it's just a matter of how long until my parents need our help. DHs mum is widowed and about to move to a retirement village (self funded). DH is one of five and they all chip in to help in practical ways.
We are building an extension on our house partly to cater for my parents to move in with us. Dad will eventually have to go into a nursing home when his dementia progresses to a point where we can't keep him/us safe at home.
My brother already has his FIL living with them (they built him a granny flat) so I don't expect him to contribute. My parents siblings are not in a position to help either, they each have their own burdens. DH and I will manage things.
Financially I hope my parents can contribute to the cost of living but they are in a precarious position, so we will see. Probably most of their money will be needed for nursing home care. I know they will do what they can. When they die they will leave half of whatever they have to us and half to my brother and that is fine.
I can't imagine leaving them to fend for themselves, it just isn't our way at all. On the other hand I don't expect our children to care for us in our old age, hopefully we can set ourselves up in a way that it won't be necessary for them to.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:44 PM
I will not have my parents live with me ever, I will help out don't get me wrong, and I am sure between the three of us something would be worked out, but I would not become their carer at any stage.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:48 PM
My parents have made sure to not be a financial burden on me (I'm an only child) as they have their own savings and contingency plans, so I won't have to worry about that side of things.
I expect that DH and I will be the only ones helping them out in every other way though as they live in Aus now and we are the only family here.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:54 PM
With my grandparents, on my father's side grandpa lives with one son, and the siblings each pitch in to make the mortgage repayments and also for the nurse that visits, and on Mums side Oma lives in a Dutch retirement home, which is something she and Opa had planed 10+ years before they moved in, attached to the retirement home is a hospice for when she becomes unable to care for herself, I believe that the apartment was payed for and if she goes to the hospice payment for care derives from the sale of the apartment they were living in.
Posted 18 February 2013 - 01:58 PM
My Dad died at the age of 57 in November - massive, sudden and completely unexpected heart attack that killed him instantly.
He's left behind my mother who has been ill for years and who I thought would go first. Dad was fit, healthy and independent - completely the opposite of my mother.
Due to life insurance issues, Mum has no income or money expected to be paid out and as such, has had to put my parents house on the market. She has begin the process of moving in with my husband and I into our 2 bedroom unit. The day my Dad died I knew with complete certainty that this was the way life would head and said to DH right then and there that we could kiss our lives goodbye.
If things work out, the best we can hope is that Mum gets a widows pension from Centrelink. She has been rejected for Disability because even though she has a lung disease that has her on oxygen and means no office seems to want to have her work there, they still deem her suitable for work and won't give her a Disability pension. Some days her blood oxygen levels are so low that she can't move without nausea and feeling terrible - which results in another hospital stay but she's not "sick enough" to need a pension. We find out in 12 more weeks if she will get the widows pention. Right now we're just hoping the house sells so she has some money coming in as right now, she's bleeding us dry.
I have days where I really feel bad for her and other days where I am so angry that my parents were so financially irresponsible that they didn't have any real plans in place if they passed away early. I spend my time alternating between hating my mother and feeling like any minute my poor DH who has been lumped in this situation will pack up and leave. He's been amazing so far but I can't shake the feeling that he won't put up with this forever.
My sister is as financially irresponsible as my mother (I have to bite my tongue every time my mother says she doesn't know where my sister gets her sillyness from) so I know she won't be offering any assistance. She also has a baby so because DH and I don't, it is assumed that Mum should be our burden. My sister's only input so far has been to crack the sh*ts when the life insurance payout was declined because she wanted some money to pay off her debts.
I had no intentions of being the one to support my elderly parents but life had other plans. Never feel it's not your place to ask what your parents have in place for when they are older because it DOES concern you as their child. I should have stepped up years ago and checked what my parents were doing because now it's not their issues, it's become mine.

Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon 0.552 (Part 1/2)Sep 14, 2014 Full Version 7 comments
This is the installer for Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon 0.552 (Part 1/2). Make sure to install Forgotten Hope + Mappack 6 first.
Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon (FHSW) is an unofficial continuation of the famous Forgotten Hope (FH), a Battlefield 1942 modification. We say unofficial since FHSW is developed by FH fans, not the original FH creators. In 2007 it started as a small addon but since then it has grown to be one of the biggest mods of all time!
What makes this mod special is that it adds lots of - but not only - Secret Weapons which saw limited or no action at all during WW2 like jet fighters and super heavy tanks. Some of the maps feature "what-if" battles like a landing operation on the Japanese mainland or attacking a secret German base in the African desert.
FHSW Europe
Active: Every weekend at 8 pm CET
25 comments by eYe.ris on Sep 17th, 2014
After a long wait the FHSW devs have finally released version 0.552. There was also 0.55 and 0.551 but I skipped them because they were very buggy and laggy and the devs said they would release a bugfix very soon.
I'll list all the news since the last release to give you an quick overview of what has been added:
But there are also a lot of things added which haven't been mentioned in any news yet or we didn't cover properly on moddb like the new Panzer II late variants or Japanese tankettes. Also see the pictures below for some examples.
(thanks to MinefieldJoe for the translation)
One huge gamplay related addition is the new bombing sight which allows proper level bombing for heavy bombers. On the minimap you can see two new icons which show the current position of your plane (reticle) in relation to the horizon (half blue/black circle).
If you go for a bombing run both indicators you have to be aligned which means your plane flies level.
Use then the bombing sight (left mouse click) to aim at your target. The center of the reticle is where the bombs will approximately hit.
Be aware that bombers with this new bomb sight can't be used as dive bomber anymore. Because of a built-in game mechanic you'll always miss the target. Practice and stay over the clouds! Then flak and fighters will have a hard time shooting you down.
Please follow the instructions of this guide.
In short, you need:
As you've probably heard Gamespy shut down the online support for BF1942 which means either your game locks up or it doesn't show any servers when updating the in-game server browser. But as always the community puts EA to shame and within days a solution was available, huge thanks to the creator s[sk]. I included the fix into the FHSW installer so no additional steps are required to play online. Go to here if you want some information about the changes he did.
As you might or might not know FHSW is a pure multiplayer mod, the game crashes if you try to play singleplayer. There are two servers but you'll only see players on them on specific times.
The European server hosts events regularly with a lot of people participating the next one is right around the corner, see you there! To avoid any timezone confusion use this timer as reference:
Site: Fhsw-europ.ucoz.de
Alternatively there's the Japanese server which is always full at about 8pm Japanese time. Be aware that you'll get kicked with a high ping which you usually have when connecting from Europe or the America East.

Can you figure out how to reduce the loading time I don't like to wait an hour or two for a game to load? Also can make a what if Senior if the Germans invaded American in 1950s or 60s with their very advanced Wunderwaffe like in Turning point fall of liberty that would be a cool mod for BF1942?
Try to disable Lightmaps in your Graphic settings, it doesn't affect image quality so much but can help to cut loading time back.
Nevertheless it has been confirmed that next FHSW release will bring shorter loading times.
About second part of your comment: I doubt if it fits FHSW scheme which is World War 2 period of time. However you may go to forum in fhsw-europ.ucoz.de and write your suggestion in dedicated thread.
It's just so awesome that they are still updating this "old" mod, though Forgotten hope, and Forgotten hope Secret Weapons NEVER gets old.
Is there any telling about when they will be releasing this update?
Extremely looking forward to this sweet update!!!
Much appreciations to the guys that still work on this awesome game and mod!
The release of 0.5 is planned for April.
o man the maus cant wait for the next update :)
Finaly ! Maus tank !
Gold on we've got a badass over here!
indeed WOT :X love that game
S-51? Hello, WoT! ;-)
For some reasons, I just can't use gamefront to download mods anymore, so can u guys upload the patch 0.42.1111 directly into moddb server? It will be a great help if u do.
this is another mirror of 0.42.1111 patch:
However you need to install it manually. Just move and replace all .rfa files to ...\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\FHSW\Archives\bf1942\levels
Thanks a lot, this really help me greatly :)

Get your game right.Netflix is $7.99 add BluRay for $2.00 more=$9.99 with a No streaming option.Blockbuster $9.99 includes streaming, BluRay, and games.Apparently Netflix lost this battle.
BB < 5,000; Netflix > 30,000. (details from Cnet articles)
(..snip..)Edit: **thinking about it for TV shows--I can see how each season might be counted as a separate "title" (not saying Netflix does, but some cataloging sites, for instance, do that).
Depends. Back when I was a blockbuster customer, they wouldn't carry Unrated or NC-17 movies. They tried to keep a wholesome family image.

Chicago Public Schools' Bureau of Student Transportation Services is developing a request for proposal to upgrade the system. Officials say that the system's components will be integrated in four phases, with the end product incorporating all of the bureau's business and routing functions, as well as GPS capabilities.
From key performance indicators to school redistricting to stop-arm violation tracking, there are many ways to benefit from the information in a computerized routing program.
A year ago, Jeff Walker became transportation director at Litchfield Elementary School District #79 in Phoenix. The department has since cut costs, reduced the number of student disciplinary incidents on its buses and improved its safety record.
As evidenced by the infamous Fox River Grove crash, documenting school bus route hazards is critical. Detailed, accurate route descriptions are essential, and drivers must be involved in the documenting process.
