Firing Squad
Galactic Civilizations II still sells amazingly well. Both at retail and digitally.
As a token of thanks, I was thinking of working on an update in my spare time after I turn in the book manuscript next month. Are there any small updates you guys would like to see in there? Mind you, it would be just be me. On a couple of cold weekends doing this.
We haven't heard so long from Frogboy ... maybe he isn't going to do it.
One thing I would really like at the start screen is the ability to create teams of other civilizations at war or on the same team at the start screen. I'd also like to be able to save governor configurations across games.
I think you can create teams of civs, just not through the start screen. It's something which you could do as a scenario, if you fire up the tools supplied with TotA, you'll find out quick enough.
Obviously for Metaverse games you can't start out with AI civs at war with each other.
He wil do it when he is damn good and ready. He is busy making a better game.
I would like for the "number of turns until completion" of social projects on the colony list to match the "number of turns until completion" on the colony dialog. Actually, to be more specific, I would like both to be accurate, which at least one of them is not or they wouldn't disagree with each other.
I would like a "% full" or "population capacity remaining" column on the colony list. I would like to be able to sort by that column.
I would like for the "remove functional components disabled" mode of ship design to auto-upgrade all components to the latest technology, even if it puts me over-budget on space. I could choose which components to cut before saving the new design.
I would like for the GNN report to appear AFTER any reports of culture-flipped worlds at the beginning of a turn.
I would like for the MCC to either do what it says it does -- culture-flip worlds more quickly -- or have its documentation changed to reflect what it actually does. I've built one in two games now and it doesn't seem to do anything.
Froggie is banned from doing anything to GalCiv2 until Elemental is released
i Just want the fog of war bug fixed
Its fine early on but later on i end up seeing the entire map with makes turns last...a very very very long time waiting on ship moves.
Anything going on here?
I cannot believe that no one has insisted or complained about this and perhaps it's just my game... but isn't an implicit nuance of "campaign mode" in RTSes persistance? Like, shouldn't we be able to expect our technological developments, ship creations, etc be carried over into the next mission?
I submit that you make the campaign a true campaign and have our accomplishments from one mission persist through to the next so that it's not actually a lot of single mission games connected together with bad animation and story line. You know make the advancements and progress something you can cherish because you getta keep reaping the benefit of your hard work, as if it's an actual campaign. Not like it is where you have to get the same technological advancements over and over as you accomplish each mission. The only way I can see that I'll develop the "neatest" things or research the "coolest" stuff is if I purposefully turtle in the game so that I can see the big neato advancements at the end of the trees for once; and of course only to lose all that advancement as if my entire species experienced some mind-wipe or amnesia/retardation where the knowledge is wiped clean from our culture each mission just because we have a new mission.
Make that one of your updates. Persistant advancement. That'd be great. I'm just sayin'.
Here's something that I don't think has been mentioned.
When an Immense galaxy is generated (Large also works) it's possible for the same star name to be used twice. Obviously it's possible to rename these things in the game, but next time you play on a big map it'll happen again. And on a big map there's nothing more confusing than having two planets with the same system name but existing at opposite ends of the galaxy.
Recent news about this: http://forums.galciv2.com/398277
I realize I'm quite late to the game on this one, but there's one thing I've been thinking about that I don't recall being mentioned:
It takes a HIGH level of espionage to look at another race's planets; however if I want to search for their Wonders and Trade Goods all I have to do is take an agent and open the "place agent screen" to see what's on a planet. It won't allow me to see other planetary details, but I still don't think I should be able to use agents this way.
Perhaps require a HIGH level of espionage before agents can be used to look at planets and sabotage buildings. It makes a bit of sense, I think, that you would need to establish an advanced spy network before you could begin placing agents to disable critical infrastructure.
Oh yeah, and the pop-up civs should be competent and moddable. (I-League, Jagged Knife, pop-up minors).
All of my ideas have been mentioned already, but a few remarks...
pow3rgaming: That is not a small update.
While I've never seen them on the expansions, the I-League is competent, almost more so then the normal minors. It's what actually sets them apart from the pop-ups like Vegans, since despite flavor text they don't actually take their planet from an existing race. The one time I had the Fundamentalists live for a while, they also developed into a pretty decent civ. I'm not sure I would want the Jagged Knife to play intelligently, though, unless they took over less worlds.
Mind you, this wouldn't be a small update either...
Please consider improving the UI, it gets really unwieldy as the number of planets controlled grow larger. Some ideas: * implement multi-select at as many places as possible, e.g.: 1. Planet list, choose multiple planet to produce x, change focus to y 2. Remove multiple queued items in building list (such as when added by auto upgrade) Thanks
It'd be nice if the Auto-Upgrade/Auto-Terraform governor pop-up didn't just appear in the middle of the screen, but on the right, closer to where you need to click to open it.
TBH I think auto-upgrade should work on one tile at a time, then when it's done with that tile, flip on the next applicable upgrade, rather than queuing it all up.
Small update: (Twilight)
- be able to include miniaturization techs in the ship designer.
- first few armor, point defense, and shield techs are kinda useless unless a player researches all the miniaturization techs first.
- my game will crash after a while (Win7).
- bridge the gap between beginner and normal difficulties. Beginner is too easy and normal is too unfair.
- Lower the cost of ships so we can have more of them.
- Sometimes my income will fluctuate for no reason and I have to scale down to <30%.
- Stronger minor races that don't build influence bases everywhere.
- more pieces for the ship designer
Hope Stardock will eventually work on GalCiv 3, maybe with a better Tech Tree editor (something with a drag and drop feature). I'd buy it in a heart beat! I've had a great time with GalCiv 2, keep up the good work!
lol, he put this up in Feb.. idk if he's still taking suggestions at this time.
The reason this isn't allowed is that you could stay one small step from victory and "level grind" through the entire techtree. Then the rest of the campaign is far too easy.
Robot voices would be nice, but not on every turn. Perhaps when major achivements have been made. Or when citizens begin to get rowdy.
And when will GalCiv II Ultimate go on sale again???
Umm...nevermind. I'm just going to buy it now.
omgomg! Did it just go on sale? 25%off?? Just for me??? I'm so glad I waited! 30 minutes ago I was at my cart ready to purchase...then I got hungry and returned only to find it on sale for 25% off.
Lucky me.
Some simple fixes :
Settings for startup , anomalies/asteroids add a "none" option would my my choices.
I'd like colony ships to be launchable at zero pop.
I'd like to type the amount and enter to launch.
I'd like progressive colony and troop modules. 20 million 30 million 50 million 100... etc. I can only have one module, regardless of my tech ability. Irksome.
I'd like colony ships to be route assignable. Like trade routes, but you can stop them and redirect or reassign them. So constant transport of overflow population be autonomously relocated to colony worlds. Save me some headaches. I'll often have 6-10 colony ferries running at any given time. I think affecting logistics rating would be a fine game mechanic.
And anything else that Santa thinks I may need.
p.s. adding multiple freighters to the same trade route would be beneficial... And can trade routes be destroyed by warships? Or raided? Opportunities for random events!
Starbase modules which increases food production
Starbase modules which increases planet quality(good for making all planets colonizable)
Starbases built around planets just as they wrap resources
Domecities to utilize all unuseable tiles on a given world...
Evolving minor races from worlds with random race good vs evil options. If you enslave or cohabitate with an indiginous peoples, what becomes of them?
Expanding sphere of influence in starbases, dependant upon technologies.
Abillity to move starbases, though at a cost and very very slow pace.
Make the Constructor Module like the Colony Module. Goes out, builds the station, needs to go back to planet to 'reload'.
Or, make it so the constructor module is two parts. 1 part that cannot move, and a transport vessel to ferry the equipment, supplies, and manpower to and fro. This way, a couple ships can be built to ferry an endless supply of modules into place.
Multiple research options...
Research Collaboration w Allies
Multiple Production options...
Good for using every ounce of production. If you are producing 200, and the ships only cost 65 apiece... unlockable secondary production lines via technologies...
Layered Stealth and Sensors. The further out from the center, the weaker the detection. So vessels could pass by, relatively close to objects and each other, and maybe blink in and out of each others' screens randomly. Same with planets and other things. This would allow enemies to have a chance to get closer to their target undetected. Makes perimeter stations more valuable!
Jenna should not lead the Terran Alliance in custom games. As far as I understand the story at the point of discovering the hyperdrive she is not a prominent person (and at the end of the ToA campaign Earth is still completely isolated - the explosion only crippling Dreadlord and Arnor production/creation abilities).
The terran intensive farming tech should be split into two (to give one building level per tech).
Better store of created custom player race - after a while playing only with the defaults it seems my custom race setup is loost for me only appearing as a competitor.
Not so small but I would also like to be able to demolish super projects and super projects to be autodestroyed when taking over the colony.
Sligthly better explanations in the user guide, I still do not fully understand in the combat section at some points whether weapon means weapon category (ie beam) or weapon item, and no idea on the use of focus during design - by the way in focus one defense category seems mandatory.
Starbases take several dozens of constructors to fully build up, having more modules per ship would be good.
Tech-end weapons are too strong relative to both the previous level and the defenses.
Absolutely not small but I would like to see no default hyperdrives and sensors in ship hulls - so if someone designs a ship without a hyperdrive it will be a satellite, not able to go to the next planet (of course with a revision of speed bonuses and abilities). And also a serious revision of sizemods: Engines and supports really getting bigger (and if possible more expensive) for larger ships (ie 10 times as large for a huge than for a tiny), sensors and defenses getting slightly bigger (due to the larger inerference created by the hull itself and the larger area to defend by some of the methods) while weapons should retain size regardless of the hull size.
In "both sides killed" combat situation the starbases should receive the "survival hit point" instead of the attacker.
Probably not for an update but for the next incarnation, starships should loose modules, a huge ship with a single HP still have full attack capability. Not too realistic albeit very usefull for intercepting small Dreadlord waves.

- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Caregivers provide perspective on life
By Angela Lunde
41 comments posted
As we settle in to the New Year, many of us reflect on the blessings we have in our lives. Inevitably, I think of family and friends — abundant in the ways they fill my life. This year, I am also thinking of the blessings I receive from the men and women who share with me their caregiving journey.
My monthly meetings with caregivers take place at a beautiful Italian Romanesque building on 100 acres atop a hill. At our last meeting, the weather outdoors was cold and a winter storm was looming. As was typical for our meetings, we had a mix of men and women; some brand new, others long-time participants.
I sat back and listened as stories were shared and advice was gently offered. I observed the ways in which group members cared for one another, and I thought about the wisdom around that table and how these men and women have enriched me over this past year.
Caregivers continually remind me of the importance of living life simply and the value of finding joy in small blessings and ordinary victories. They reveal that it is important and necessary to reach out to others when life gets difficult even though the desire to isolate ourselves can be intense. Caregivers bestow on me the perspective I need to cope with my own disappointments and challenges.
As a parent, I can get aggravated by the fact that my son hasn't done what I've asked him to do once or twice (or more) already, or I become annoyed at my daughter who "borrows" my things or gives me "that look." As a wife, I become upset when my husband can't simply know what I need or figure out why I feel the way I do. But still, in the face of these challenges, I am somehow reminded that this is as it should be.
As I sit around the table with caregivers or read the comments and stories on this blog, I realize that here is a group of people doing something that isn't as it should be.
You are engaged each day in an extraordinary challenge with no time off. Yet, as undeserving as it may be, you have found a way. I am humbled in these moments of clarity. These are the moments when I look outside myself and my own life and recognize that the issues and needs of others are far greater than my own at this time. This clarity and perspective is a gift — a gift I believe that makes me a better wife, parent and friend to those in my life.
I will conclude my first posting for 2009 with these beautiful words posted on this blog Dec. 9 by Lisa.
"It (caregiving) is a lonely, thankless, tiring, sad, never ending job but I see my face in his and pray someone will be kind to me too when the time comes." — Lisa

Hi Lisa, Your post is one of the best posting I have read. Because, you speak the truth on life; we sometimes get overwhelm with our own problems and forget about those who have problems greater than our own. I lost my mom three weeks ago, from dementia and is the caregiver for my dad. As much as I would like to leave and give up I can't because he needs me. I too, think and pray that when I get to that point of needing someone to take care of me, that they will have compassionate as well. - Maria

My Mom has dementia and she lives with me. I tell my friends and family members that Mom has dementia. I get a blank look. Then I say she has Alzheimers. Ah Ah! they say, understanding the diagnosis. My point is that most people do not understand the term dementia. It is nebulous. It is not defined yet the symptoms including memory loss, personality alterations, behavioral issues and even anger are just the same. In the end, whether it is dementia or Alzheimer's does it really matter? What matters is that we as a society and health care professionals are uneducated about dementia. It may be Alzheimers or not but then we won't truly know unless the person is examined by a coroner. My bottom line: lets expand our discussion of Alzheimer patients to include those misunderstood people like my mother with dementia in our educational conversations. We all may one day have dementia and it may well be Alzheimers but does the terminology matter? What matters is that we with dementia will lose our memory, short term first of course, and then later hopefully we will have a loved one to write us colored reminder notes not to wander outside in the dark. Red works well for danger.

Yes, caregiving is sad and more challenging than we can explain, and the "friends" who have slipped away have added to the pain. How often have I asked "Why me? Why him? Why us?" A (true) friend once replied, "Why not?" Yes, why not? Like Nancy, I've learned to accept (although not in a religious sense) and to find a certain contentment in simple pleasures. The smile I can put on my husband's face, the comfort I can give him by being there. My morning coffee and sunlight filtering through the leaves of a tree. What could be more meaningful than being there for my husband now? We will not be getting old together, and that hurts very, very much. Or this IS the way we are getting old together, and I hate it. But it's there and challenges me to make it meaningful. What I wouldn't give to be blissfully ignorant of the pain inflicted by this disease! The tears I shed, for him, for myself, for us. But every morning it's still there, and the only control I have over our lives is how I decide to approach THIS life. Everyone has heard it: You can't control what others say to you, but you can control how you react to it. Same here, and I know it's very, very hard. But seeing the meaning in what we do makes all the difference. Caregiving is not thankless, even if those we care for cannot express their love and gratitude with words or actions.

I have never done any blogging, but was delighted to find this site tonite & read comments by others dealing with the same thing I am. I am 58, a retired RN & my husband is 62 & he has had alzheimers for almost 6 years now. I am now his full-time caregiver. We keep our schedule very flexible & take one day at a time. God is supplying sufficient Grace to get through every day. We do what matters & still go to church & to hear music. We savor the simple pleasures......birds outside, a sunset, an ice cream cone. I am contented in my role & believe I am doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing.

4 years ago my mother in law was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the age of 74. See my husband and I are young (I just turned 40 this year, he's 42) with young children, our oldest a son is 15 with severe Autism. We moved a trailer beside our home and have taken care of her full time since. Last year my brother in law moved in with her, moving up from Texas and he himself with health issues (alcoholism mainly). It took a load off my back having him here because he takes the day shift (my shift, since hubby works) and hubby has the evening shift, I do all cooking, banking, doctor's stuff and shopping....along with taking care of our home and our 2 children. Sometimes I feel like I'm not pulling my share and feel so bad for both of them. She has been in pull-ups and unable to walk on her own for 3 full years. They do showers and pull-up changes everyday 4 times a day. Remember I speaking of 2 SONS not a daughter or daughter in law, sons! They can get a little cranky, but laugh alot over the real silly things their mom comes up with, it's either laugh or cry I guess. I wonder how much longer they can hold on. My husband tells me "I know you're not happy with the situation" I tell him "would anyone?" But it doesn't change the fact that I love him and I married him for better or worse....and I'll be there no matter what. I tell him "Today might have been a real booger.....but tomorrow is another day." I hope you all have someone to talk to,c

Tina -- I'm new here, so I just read your post. You might try to see if you can get your Dad to agree to having Mom go to a Day Care facility that specializes in Alzheimers a few days a week. It would be good for her socialization, and good for him to 1) give him a little break, and 2) wean him a little from the fact that he doesn't/can't do it all. It will probably make the transition to a FT care facility easier later. My Dad has Alz in my family, and his wife is struggling with how to come to the ultimate terms with it as well. We starting Dad in day care a couple of years ago and it has been very beneficial to both of them. While the final decision of a FT care facility is going to be tough (but coming soon), I think this has hopefully made that transition a little easier for both in the long run. In his wife's case, there is finacial concern as well, since there assets are joint which is problematic from a Medicare perspecitive, for her ongoing life. That will be a closer monitoring to make the right decision for both of them when that time comes. The Caregiver will rarely ask for help, at their own detriment, even though they really need it. They actually need as much help as the patient.

Look up Agency on Aging, Social Services, etc. There are nurses who can come and assess your mother in law, and advice you and her what is needed. There are so many services for the elderly, that caregivers just can't find. Start with your local government and see what they can do to help.

I have read all of the posts and really envy all of your dedication and patience. I am caring for my mother-in-law who is living with us now. I am the sole caregiver for the most part, though occasionally one of her kids will call. She has not been officially diagnosed. She came to my house one day and said she was moving in. Her daughter had just kicked her out. She is extremely paranoid and forgetful. She hides things so no one will take them (money, pills, diapers, papers, food)then when she can't find them she goes on a rampage swearing someone is stealing from her. I talked to her 'doctor'. I explained everything at a seperate appointment before I took her in. He seemed to understand my concerns, but when my m-i-l went in he asked her things like who is the president, what year is it and then pronounced her mentally sound? She refuses to see another doctor. And refuses all help with her meds, hiding them so we can't make sure she's taking them right. At one point she was taking 2 of the same thyroid meds because the labels read a different brand name. She also leaves the house without telling anyone. She will ask total strangers for rides and go with them. The police have brought her home a few times when she got confused... I'm at my wits end. My own health has deteriorated and I honestly don't know where to turn. I don't say a word to my husband, so I really have no where to vent I guess. Its easier to be quiet than cause problems between us. Any help??

I was concerned by the comment "doing something that isn't as it should be". I hope that someone will do the same for me as I am doing for my 90 year old mother-not that I really expect it to happen! Now that I look back I can see that I have been a caregiver many times-for my in-laws children when their baby sister was hospitalized and later died; for a dying neighbor whose family just couldn't stand to see him die; for my 102 year old grandmother and for my father when he had cancer. I think family should care for each other. When I tell people I am my mother's sole caregiver, I often hear "Oh, I am sorry." I tell them, "I am not sorry." My husband supports andhelps out to give me a break when I need it. It isn't easybut I will never regret what I am doing (and my siblings may regret what they didn't do).

For Elsie Scharf: My wife has Alzheimers for at least 9 years, and possibly longer.She has been diagnosed with the disease 5 years ago. The last 3 years she has been totally dependant on me.I am her security blanket, and I love it.Being married to this beutiful woman for the past 49 and 1/2 years,brought us closer together than we've ever been before. To get my wife into the tub for a bath, or shower is very simple; we shower together, at least every second day. Sometimes she even tries to scrub my back. Whereever we go, we go together. Yes it is difficult. The sadest part of it all, is the loss of people whom I believed were my friends, who one by one started to abandon us as my wife began to get more sick. To them I said: what goes around comes around. For those of you who care for your loved ones, please make sure they are well fed, and given the maximum supplements of vitamins, and minerals,plus their medications, and make sure they swallow all of them.(my wife has a habit of stashing one of the pils in her cheek, just like a sqirrel) and later spitting it out)so I make sure she doesn't. I believe in miracles, and I will never give up.My hope is that no one else will.

I watched my neighbor for several years suffering from Alzheimer. I miss him now that he is gone. He made me feel like a million bucks when I do little things for him. He would always say, "Hey, your OK" I know it is a burden to care for your partner or parent, but it is not forever although it may seem that way at times. Try to find the humor in some of the things they come up with. I will never forget my neighbor. My heart goes out to all of the caregivers giving so much of themselves 24/7.

I've just participated in the annual "Walk for Memories" to raise funds for Alzheimer's and related dementias research. My journey with my husband Ted who had Pick's disease, is now in the past. Ted died 5 years ago. From this distance I can see so many blessings that happened because of our experience. It was no easier for us than for any of you who have expressed yourselves. The trials, fears, angers, loss of friends, family and funds happened to us just as it has to many of you. And yet- the experience has made a new person of me. I'm stronger, more compassionate, more patient, more independent than I ever would have been without going through such tragedy. And so I would like to offer each and everyone of you who are right in the midst of this difficult time, HOPE. It's up to you to reach out for help. Say NO when you can't do anymore Acknowledge that you're doing the best you can. One day you too will look back and be amazed at just how far you've come.

My mom has early stages of Alzheimer's. She has short term memory loss. Some days are worse than others. She cycles about every 2 months now. She gets really bad, enough for hospitalization. She is able to return home alone. I have someone to come make breakfast and lunch and assure she takes the right meds. I go over with my 9 year old son every nite to cook dinner/meds. There are no support groups close to me. I am an only child. No other family to help. I want to try to keep her out of a nursing home if possible. I'm adopted, but she's the only mother I've ever known. I am thankful for that gift. Glad to have found you all. Posts are very informative and helpful! Thanks!

Our Mother has dimentia and is being cared for by my sister. It is a very difficult, tiring and stressful job but she does it out of love and respect. Some days are more difficult than others. I live out of state so our daily phone calls seem to help give my sister the release and support she needs to vent, to share and yes sometimes to be angry. We laugh, we cry, we thank God that she is able to do this and is blessed with a very supportive husband. But for those other family members...remember how difficult it is for our siblings who are the main caretakers. Offer support, try give of your time not your money or advice. For those that caretake, they need breaks, time off from this endless, selfless full time job. We visit or call and think "wow mom just isn't there any more"...think of how it is to care daily 24/7 for this loved one. Sometimes a joy, sometimes a very difficult angry stranger, but still our mom! It is a sacrifice, it is at times an unbearable heart ache but with love, we can share the stories, behaviors, antics and try to find the humor that makes these difficult moments ok. Until you live this daily don't be judgemental and keep your thoughts to yourself unless it is of course to "take mom" for a few hours, days, weeks and provide the time off needed. Education is the best advice I can offer. Take a course on dimentia/Alz. contact the Alzheimer's Assoc. for reliable information and support, it is priceless for all family members. www.al

My father had Alzheimer's. One day things got worst and he was put into a rest home. I though to myself I am going to try to heal his condition. I looked back and though of everything I ever heard of that can heal. Magnets, crystals, aroma therapy, herbs. One day I walked into a dollar store and they were selling health magnets. I hunged them from my ears and my whole life changed. I investigated magents and found that they are a negative ion generators. I googled magnets and negative ions and found out in Japan they are curing Alzheimer's with negative ion therapy. Then I remembered my dad was already wearing one and realized that he was already being cured. To make a long story short, he no longer has alzheimer's. In 1998 a book called Chakra healing it was also writen that Alzheimer's was a blockage of the crown chakra. I bought some Moldavite, a powerful stone, and made a necklace for him, thinking lets try unblocking his crown chakra as descrivbed in the book. The next time I saw him I said "I did it!" He looked ten years younger with no Alzheimer's. Doctors will never prescribe magnets or stones for Alzheimer's so only folks like myself you will discover this.

The 11 years that my husband Bill and I shared his Alzheimer's was the "in sickness" part of our long marriage. His admirable attitude and my determination to make this part of our life as meaningfull as possible brought us closer together than ever. Being together awakened his emotional memory and improved the quality of our life. Utilizing out inner resources to fight the sad disease made it possible for us to weather it with dignity and love. When I wrote my book,"Everything Will Be Alright: an Alzheimer's memoir" after his death, I was able to remember him with only love and admiration. It's our love story to remember -- and proceeds from my book are donated to Alzheimer's research.The feed back I get from readers tell me how it has improved that chapter in their lives.

My mother is just now going thru the testing for alzhiemers. She has a lost of alot of her short term memory. I thought losing my 22 year old son was the worst thing in the world, losing my mother little by little is a very close second. It hurts so bad to see the fear and confusion in her eyes. She wacthed and help take care of her father as the disease took his life. I hope in some way, I can make this easier on her.

I looked after my mother who had alzheimers disease and who passed away in 1997. You never forget how tired, frustrated etc you were at that time. But beyond that I consider it an honour to have been able to do it and would do it again in an instant!! When we had a caregiver(from an agency ) to come in for a few hours a week, I always made it look like she was my friend just coming for tea.( I requested no uniforms were worn ! ) After awhile, I would say I would just pop out for some milk and then leave for a few hours of much needed rest. I always bought her a plant or something for herself when I came back. This helped with her not becoming angry that I had gone.This worked very well. Just do the best you can do and get help as much as you need so you dont get burnt out. You will never regret doing for your parent, and is such a great example to children as well.All the best to all you caregivers!!!

My mother has had alzheimers for about two year. When she wants to go home she can literally ask to go home for 36 hours. That is how long she stayed awake a couple of times. Telling her we will take her home "tomorrow" does not always work when she is especially agitated, nor does distraction and a ride in the car help. Her" home" is the home of her childhood. She wants to go home to her mother and often feels that my sister and I have abducted her and are keeping her from going home. When she is really agitated, she can be agressive. If you have any suggestions about what to do when she becomes this agitated, please let me know.

Mom is having a tough time swallowing pills now. Her Care Attendents are angels who care and cherish her. With time and patience they help her with a nutritional drink and each pill goes down slowly. We had a swallowing study done three months ago and physically all is well. It's just that she doesn't remember how to swallow any more. At 80 my Mother is losing her mind slowly. Now she smiles and does not speak. I love to hold her hand and hug her. She naps quite a bit. Although she is not in her home she feels at home in the Cottages where she has her own room and many people around her. We love you Mom. cheri - ed - kathy

To Carole, My grandmother who was living with us would also get agitated and say she wanted to go home. I would then put her in the car and go for a little ride, even if it was just around the block. By the time we got home she had calmed down and would walk right into the house. :) We were both happy!

My mother has had Alzheimers for about 9 years. She is at the stage of wanting to go "home". My dad is 83 years old and thinks no one can care for her but him. It is begining to take a toll on him and we do not know what to do. He will not send her to a nursing home because he thinks they will be mean to her, even though he sometimes loses his temper with her. We hepl out all that we can, but we have families and jobs to go to. I feel so sad ALL the time, like I have no reason to smile any more. He needs outside help but won't let us get it.

I feel so much for all of you. I have been a caregiver for over 2 years to my mother who has moved into our home. Everyone in my family, including Mom has always dealt with everything in life with a sense of humor. Alzheimer's is, of course, a horrific, cruel disease, but some of the little things that happen on a daily basis are just plain funny. I focus on those, among other things, in a blog that I write for therapy. Check it out some time: glasseyedgradys.blogspot.com Best of luck, Melissa

text: A Controversial Monument in Honour of Sibelius, Finland's Famous Composer: One of Helsinki's famous landmarks is the Sibelius Monument which was built to honour Finland's national composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957). Who would have thought that the erection of a monument to honour a famous composer would elicit such heated debate, but apparently the whole of Finland got engaged in an unprecedented public debate about the design. After Sibelius' death in 1957, the Sibelius Society … [Read more...]

Kuwait invests 300 million euro in Areva group
Areva group's Supervisory Board, meeting under the chairmanship of Jean-Cyril Spinetta, approved the launch of a reserved capital increase of 900 million euros, representing 7.2% of its share capital at the completion of the transaction, subscribed to by the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA), acting on behalf of the State of Kuwait, in the amount of 600 million euros and the French State in the amount of 300 million euros.
This will be followed by a capital increase reserved for investment certificate holders, structured as an issue of preferred shares without voting rights in accordance with the holders' anti-dilution right.
These transactions will enable the group to strengthen its equity and pursue its development plan with a reinforced capital structure, the French group said.
During the discussions held with KIA, the group indicated its outlook for 2012 which includes revenues of 12 billion euros and double-digit operating margin.
Kuwait Investment Authority's proposal came to 32.5 euros per ordinary share after stock split, for 18,461,538 ordinary shares with a par value of 3.8 euros, for a total stake of 600 million euros. In addition, a shareholders' agreement between the French State and KIA was formed providing in particular for the stability of KIA's stake in AREVA for 18 months. KIA will benefit for the duration of the agreement from protections against potential dilution. KIA will not have a seat on the Supervisory Board.

After weeks of near silence without any hint of a potential compromise between the Obama administration and Congressional Republicans over the thorny issue of raising the nation's debt ceiling, the White House may be offering some conciliatory language that could lead to a deal to prevent a potential default on Oct. 17.
As of last Friday, White House officials declined to specify any demand as to the length of a debt ceiling increase.
A White House official said Monday morning it is up to Congress to decide how long the debt ceiling increase should last.
"It is up to Congress to pass a debt limit increase, and up to them for how long and when they want to deal with this again," a White House official told CNN. "We have been super clear we think longer is better because it lends more certainty."
However, a separate White House official repeated the President's position that he will not offer concessions in exchange for an increase in the debt limit.
"Only Congress can raise the debt ceiling. We will not negotiate with them over that responsibility."
Gene Sperling, director of the National Economic Council, used similar language Monday morning.
"What he (President Obama) has said is, however, that he is not going to sanction negotiations with any factions that are using the threat of default as a way of extracting policy in our democracy. The president's made clear, the era of threatening default has to be over," said Sperling at a Politico Playbook breakfast.

Throughout the 1990s, Central Asia's Fergana Valley emerged as a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism. A clash in the Fergana city of Andijan last year, variously described as a "massacre" or a "counterterrorist operation," caused a serious break in Uzbek-U.S. ties. Now, a new video has some questioning the facts of that event.

To encourage the free flow of conversation, the 2011 Corporate Conference was entirely not-for-attribution; however, several conference speakers joined us for sideline interviews further exploring their areas of expertise.
