Birthdays, holidays, theatre trips and parties (although the list can be almost limitless!) It was the one thing that the children could truly understand and it helped to calm them down when they just couldn't wait. Mind you getting to single figure sleeps always made them a little bit more excited!
So now we've almost got to the point of counting sleeps until college starts. Twenty one to be exact, as I write. How could the summer be rushing by so fast? Suddenly we are all getting a bit nervous about the impending change of lifestyle and I for one have watched my "baby" adjust to the fact that it is almost time to move on. We've had the occasional: "I've changed my mind!" a sure sign that the penny has begun to drop, so to speak, but that quickly changes when pressed.
My little girl will be 20 in October. Her brothers left home when they were 18, ready to be all grown up and independent. It was hard to let go but it was part of the deal when we decided to bring them into the world. They weren't ours to keep, just to look after and nurture until the time came for them to make their impact on this planet. They all survived and are doing so well, each taking a slightly different path to reach their potential.
But this is different. When Hayley came into our lives it turned them upside down. This vulnerable, poorly scrap of a child, who needed such a lot of input to help her do what other children do naturally. Endless visits by Portage workers, Speech Therapists, Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists all trying to give this little one the best start in life. There were days when it all became too much, and others when their visits inspired me to keep at it for the best outcome.
And here we are twenty years later (well almost), on the brink of all that we have worked so hard for, and I start having doubts! What a noodle, but I can't help it! I have dedicated my life to bringing up my family and, in particular, this precious young lady who wants to take her place in this world. I find myself watching her and asking if she really understands what is about to happen. Will she think that we are abandoning her? Will she be happy? Safe? Fulfilled? I don't know. This is the beginning of the next chapter and it will be penned as it's lived, to be reviewed in the future.
Soon we will be counting in single figures. Ten, nine, eight, seven....!

I thought that I would have a little fun and be nostalgic for a bit. I have been working with Great Plains Dynamics since version 2.00 in 1994. The company I was with did look at version 1.00, but decided not to become a reseller at that time. Instead we watched the progress of the product closely and when version 2.00 was released, we became the reseller for Western Australia.
While I have been involved with Great Plains we have seen many changes in corporate image and ownership and I thought it would be interesting to see how the logos have changed over time. Maybe this will bring back some memories for the old timers among us.
1985: The original Great Plains Software logo with the sun and wheat image. This shows the heritage of the company being based in a wheat growing and farming region. This is from the first version of Great Plains Accounting (GPA).
1991: The logo changed from the original orange sun to the red sun. According to my sources, this was because it was cheaper to print red rather than orange on the marketing materials.
1993: The original Dynamics product branding.
1994: The Dynamics Globe logo used on version 2.0.
At the bottom of this post I have attached the "Welcome to Dynamics" wave sound file that used to play when launching Dynamics.
I can reveal that the voice behind this sound file is Deb Reynolds, the wife of Todd Reynolds. Deb no longer works with the company (having a family took priority), but Todd remains working in the Dynamics development group at Microsoft.
If you want the sound back in your system see the VBA - Welcome to Dynamics Example.
[Edit] See update in the following post, Revisiting: "Welcome to Dynamics".
1995: Then it was time to drop the Software part as Great Plains was selling entire solutions and not just software.
1996: It was during this Great Plains era that we had Dynamics for the ISAM versions.
And Dynamics C/S+ for the Client Server versions. Later when version 3.15 (& 3.17) was released we had Dynamcs C/S+ for SQL.
Even Dexterity along with the other customisation and integration tools had their own logo.
Dexterity itself had a great logo on its splash screen. This was known as the "Exploding Head" logo.
The blank area underneath the Dexterity name was used to show the Dexterity version and build numbers.
If you load Dexterity and look at the Help >> About Dexterity window you will still see the original Dexterity logo included on this window.
So they would not feel left out, the training branch of Great Plains, the Great Plains University, also had a logo.
1997: Then after a year of work and millions of dollars, the logo was modernised, but the sun and wheat is still visible.. well sort of.
We still had the Dynamics product for the ISAM database platforms.
But Dynamics C/S+ for SQL was renamed to eEnterprise.
2001: The next stage in the evolution was with the Microsoft acquisition. It was a bit of a mouthful, but it showed where the Business Solutions division came from.
When Navision was acquired and the Business Solutions division grew to more than one product, the Great Plains logo and name were dropped. Well... we knew it would happen. Now we had a new name but the designers had not done their bit.
2003: There we go, that's better.
Make sure you use the correct pantone colours for the three shades of blue otherwise the logo police might visit you.
The final step was to brand all of the Business Solutions products under a single brand name. And guess what name Microsoft already owned the trademark for (inherited from Great Plains). The only problem is they did not have a logo.
2005: Eventually, the design guys worked out the three ski jumps/sails/ice scrapers logo and the current branding was complete.
2013: With the changes to the Microsoft Logo and Windows Logo, the Microsoft Dynamics Logo has been updated to the match the monochrome theme.
Now here is the fun bit. When the old red sun and wheat logo was going to be replaced by the new blue and yellow logo, there was a lot of secrecy about the new corporate image. Then the day before the new logo was going to be unveiled a picture swept through the partner channel explaining how the new logo concept was designed.
I found out that it was Todd Lefor who created this joke image for an internal newsletter. Below is the original image that started the whole joke.
The actual "Homer's head" logo takes the GP logo and places it on Homer's head. What struck me as interesting is that I made NO modifications to the GP logo in order to make it fit into Homer's head. The skull lines of Homer fit perfectly with the angle of the sun.
Say no more.
Just to show how sad I am, here is my Great Plains baseball cap collection:
Please feel free to add your comments about how many of these logos you remember.
PS: Thanks to John, Leslie, Jon, Tom, Andrew and Todd for sending me some of the additional logos.
12-Aug-2008: Updated posting to name the people behind the welcome wave and Homer's head.
26-Aug-2008: Added Dexterity Exploding Head Logo.
28-Aug-2008: Added Dexterity About window logo.
09-Sep-2008: Added Link for "Welcome to Dynamics" VBA example.
01-Oct-2008: For a bit of fun, go have a look Mariano Gomez's posting GP splash bitmap files over the years.
14-Oct-2008: Added Baseball Caps picture.
31-Mar-2010: Add link to Revisiting: "Welcome to Dynamics" post.
28-May-2013: Added new 2013 Microsoft Dynamics Logo.
You have to get a copy of the eOrder and eCommerce logos as well! =)
This is so hilarious... who would have think that GP is inspired by Homer?
Wow David this is definitely a trip to memory lane. I remember that Homer head and GP logo story. Ha ha. Would you believe I still have my pins of the 1995 and 1997 logo!! Hhhmm, I think I may even have the shirts too! Thanks for sharing! ;-)
I started working with Great Plains on version 3.15. I thought the logos for both Great Plains and Dexterity were kind of creepy, in a Pink Floyd sort of way. I was glad when they went with the Homer's hair version of the logo. It didn't make me feel weird. :)
For those of you who have been involved with the Great Plains product for a while, you will remember
Microsoft Business Solutions - Great Plains v8.00 was the last version to include a splash.bmp file.
This article is about being nostalgic and fun for those of you whom have been working with Dynamics GP
Posting from the US Dynamics GP Field Team
Hi David, you made my Saturday afternoon! No, I don't have a boring life, just cleaning up some left over emails! I really enjoyed you blog about the logos it really brought back heaps of memories. I still have a CD holder with the Great Plains Software logo on it!! I also fondly remember Homer's head. Thanks David.

Who remembers the 'Welcome to Dynamics' wav file that played when you launched....Version 2?...did it carry on in later versions? Is it still available?...I had one customer who never disabled it..and never got sick of hearing it!

"Now I can play again" – winter coats mean more than keeping warm at Za'atari
Shahed and Ahed, Syrian refugee children living in Za'Atari refugee camp in Jordan are warmer thanks to World Vision's gift of jackets.
By Alexandra Panaite, World Vision Programme Officer, Syria Crisis
Shahed and Ahed are typical siblings. They laugh together, play together and sometimes they fight. "Grow up!" Ahed is shouting at Shahed in their caravan home in Za'atari camp, until the pair of them fall over, laughing.
"We've lived In Za'atari for one and a half years," says Shahed, 5. "We came from Daraa in Syria but now we have to live in Jordan."
Shahed and Ahed belong to a family of seven. Their father is still in Syria, so they live with their mother and several members of their extended family in one of the world's largest refugee camps, now home to almost 90,000 people.
"We stayed as long as we could in Syria," says Najwah, the children's mother. "But the kids were really struggling by the end. There were attacks all the time and the children had nightmares. They were so afraid. Their father was captured and put in prison. We just fled."
When we first came, we lived in a tent. The children were always sick and cold. We couldn't get medicine. It was a bad time."
Coming to Jordan hasn't been easy for the family, but they acknowledge that they didn't have an alternative.
"It's safer in Jordan," says Najwah. "There is no more safety in Syria. There once was but not now. It's better to live in Jordan. We are not always treated so nicely, but at least we are safe. When we first came, we lived in a tent. The children were always sick and cold. We couldn't get medicine. It was a bad time."
Now, living in a caravan, Najwah says the children's health is better, and that she isn't as worried about their safety as she was before. Life, however, is still difficult.
"The winter was terrible... It took a long time to get a heater, and then to get gas for it. We still don't have enough blankets," says Najwah
"The winter was terrible," says Najwah. "We thought it was good to be out of the tent but even the caravan flooded and everything filled with water. It took a long time to get a heater, and then to get gas for it. We still don't have enough blankets."
Keeping children warm in Za'atari this past winter became one more burden for struggling parents, as they continued trying to meet the growing immediate needs of their families without any additional financial resources. With winter cames extra costs; for heaters, clothing, blankets, waterproofing for shelters, and gas. Most Syrian refugees are living without incomes, and with temperatures falling below zero (particularly during winter snowstorm Alexa) additional strain has been placed on families.
Recognising this ongoing need, World Vision recently provided 26,649 winter coats to children in Za'atari, to keep children warm and safe, but also to give their parents some peace of mind.
"I heard from my neighbour that there would be a winter coats distribution," says Najwah. "We walked up together as a family to get the coats from the distribution site."
Both Ahed and Shahed enjoy their new coats, but Shahed is particularly taken with hers. "My jacket is very warm and very nice," she says. "I just want to wear it all the time. I want to wear it to bed. It is so warm I could wear it without wearing anything else!
"We didn't have winter coats before and it was so cold. I used to have to wear a blanket inside. I couldn't go outside to play before because I didn't have a jacket... now I can play outside all the time! I play hide and seek, I hide behind the caravan, over there, or sometimes inside, or behind my aunt's caravan," says Ahed.
"We didn't have winter coats before and it was so cold. I used to have to wear a blanket inside. I couldn't go outside to play before because I didn't have a jacket. My mum wouldn't let me because it was too cold and she thought I would get sick. But, then I got my coat and now I can play outside all the time! I play hide and seek, I hide behind the caravan, over there, or sometimes inside, or behind my aunt's caravan."
Ahed giggles while Shahed speaks, but then he agrees with her. "Yeah, it is true, since we got our coats we play more," says Ahed. "I love football but sometimes we play together, and she might even win."
The majority of the funding for the coats, which were procured locally in Jordan, was provided to World Vision by Canada and the United Kingdom. The distributions took place in December 2013.
"It is really good to see how your work actually makes things better for children," said Abed Rabbo Abu Ghalyoun, World Vision's Non-Food Item & Food Coordinator for the Syria Crisis Response in Jordan, after meeting Shahed and Ahed.
Shahed and Ahed have many obstacles to face as they continue to hold onto their childhood in the midst of conflict, displacement and uncertainty. But they carry on dreaming, playing and learning, and for Shahed, at least, a simple coat may have made a significant contribution to all three.
"I go to school, and I wear my coat to school because I love it so much. It makes me want to go to school more," says Shahed.
"But I really want to go back to Syria, so I'll take my coat there too, one day; because I want to see my home."

Happy New Year Bears Fans! Chicago Signs Jay Cutler For Seven Years
Cold, Hard Football Facts for Jan 02, 2014
The Chicago Bears signed Jay Cutler to a seven year contract extension. This Bears fan photo sums up the collective reaction.
To Cutler's credit, he's saying and doing the right things off the field. From the Chicago Tribune:
Asked about the size of the deal and whether he could have pursued more money elsewhere, Cutler said, "You get to the point where it's, 'What's the most important part of your career? ... Dollars? ... Championships?' We're here to win.
"We reached the amount of money that we're going to be taken care of. ... Whether it's $15 million or it's $22 million, it's hard to spend all that in your lifetime."
Now it's a matter of doing the right things on the field for Cutler.

) is widely believed to be the market leader in cloud computing
market and competes directly with Google (
), Microsoft (
) and HP (
). Amazon's pricing model of charging by the hour has been
challenged by a new service ProfitBricks, which bills by the
minute. The per minute service would be particularly attractive to
companies or applications with constantly fluctuating
computing/traffic requirements. Recently, the company
announced an online marketplace where users of its cloud
computing services can sell their reserved server instances to
other companies. We expect the marketplace to help the company
somewhat offset the threat posed by the bill by minute model.
See our complete analysis for Amazon
Instance Marketplace to bring in revenues at almost no
incremental costs
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers its users reserved instances,
which allow them to lower their cloud costs by making a one-time
payment to reserve computing capacity for a specified time period
and receive a discount on the hourly rates. The online marketplace
would allow users to move their instances across AWS Regions,
change it to a new type or sell capacity for projects that ended
before the completion of their term. The AWS management console
will be the gateway for these transactions.
We expect the marketplace to generate substantial revenues for
Amazon, which will earn a 12 percent service fee on every
transaction. As there are no significant investments required in
rolling out or operating this service, the twelve percent fee
should translate into substantial profits. The Infrastructure as a
Service (Iaas) market is expected to grow to $5 billion by
Key Risks: Competing products at lower costs
ProfitBricks, an infrastructure-as-a-service company, lets
customers spec out their own virtual machines and bills them by the
minute, enabling greater control on the services they use. The
two-fold flexibility advantage can translate into substantial
savings for companies, which face significant fluctuations in
traffic and computing needs as they don't have to pay according to
pre-defined instances and fixed rates. We expect the new pricing
model to threaten AWS due to the cost advantages it offers.
Besides ProfitBricks, another cloud computing provider
CloudSigma offers a flexible pricing model, which lets users
customize their technical specifications but charges them on an
hourly or monthly basis.
We currently have a
estimate for Amazon
which is 13% below the current market price.

Football: RICKETTS IS THE SPARK FOR STEVE
Byline: By HENRY MATTHEWS
Ricketts 24
ONE moment of magic from Michael Ricketts brought Burnley's bleak midwinter to an end.
And it rekindled memories of the way things were for the troubled 27-year-old striker.
Lured to Lancashire in a bid to put his career back on track, his super strike gave the Clarets their first win in seven league games. And their first goal in four!
It certainly left Steve Cotterill relieved and delighted. "It was an excellent finish but we knew if we could get the ball to him he'd probably score.
"We have to get him fitter and leaner and I am sure he will go on to score more goals for us," added the Burnley boss.
But Cotterill played down suggestions that it was his quest to resurrect the career of a player said to be hard to handle.
"I know all the things that have been said about him, but all I can say is he is a great lad.
"Maybe he had lost his way for what reasons we don't know. But he has come here and given us his all so far."
But the Ricketts goal apart, there was little for Burnley to celebrate.
They rarely looked like adding to it as Plymouth enjoyed most possession.
"I don't think they caused us problems - we were just sloppy for the goal," moaned Argyle boss Tony Pulis.
"We let ourselves down because we certainly had enough chances.
"I am not disappointed with our commitment or the way we played, but I am disappointed that we lacked a bit of quality in the final third."
Cotterill agreed it was a backs-to-the wall struggle as his side fought to hold on to their slender lead. …

Views wanted on Ashby Grounds footpath plan
Posted: August 27, 2014|
PROTECTORS of historic land in Ashby are keen to hear views on plans to improve accessibility to the area.
The Friends of the Bath Grounds has launched an online consultation on the plans to create an all-weather footpath between the site's South Street and Prior Park Road entrances.
Secretary Clare Birch: "We will be presenting our detailed plans to Ashby Town Council's parks and cemetery committee on September 15, and we are keen to ensure that we have public support for the scheme and that we have taken the community's views into consideration in the detailed design."
The group has turned its attention to the future of the grounds after its protests helped to scupper a plan to build luxury homes on the site.
The consultation is available to view at http://bathgroundsfriends.webs.com/projects

Fine fragrance marketing initiatives and sales training continue to ignore the fundamental tie that binds people to their perfume—the olfactory experience of wearing a favorite scent. The fragrance industry continues to dance around the edges of olfactory marketing, but hasn't gotten religion, investing only half-heartedly in promotional programs based on fragrance families. Sales training and tools have yet to properly harness the power of The Fragrance Wheel and its ability to predict scents that will inspire loyalty and repeat purchases. New research proves overwhelmingly that women purchase and wear perfume falling into a narrow olfactory range. Isn't it time for the industry to do a better job connecting consumers to scents they will enjoy?

Morning all,
Terry Butcher reckons that Luis Suarez would simply NOT fit in at Arsenal! Why?
Because he's 'volatile, a potential bomb-scare on the pitch, he's moody and confrontational'….
Ahhhh, all the things we have lacked over the years. In laymens terms, it's called passion and a will to win.
Thierry Henry was moody and he could be very confrontational!
Patrick Vieira was a 'potential bomb-scare' on the pitch, he was also pretty confrontational wasn't he?
Petit, Cole and Mad Jens didn't exactly roll over and accept all that came their way either, nor did Gallas, Adams, Lauren, Keown, Parlour….. the list goes on..
Ian Wright could be naughty boy if he got caught up in the moment and I'm sure Peter Schmeichel alone would vouch for that.
Arsene Wenger has managed all of those players and more who have had 'issues' – there is little reason reason to believe he wouldn't be able to manage Suarez.
To be honest, I truly believe that if he were to join us, many parts of his 'naughty' game would go. He'd be happier, he'd be fed each game with chance after chance to do what he does best. He'd be part of a 'proper family' in footballing terms and his boots would do the talking, rather than his antics.
We have had many big players under the management of Arsene Wenger and we have them today too in Podolski, Mertesacker, Cazorla, Monreal, Koscielny, Sagna, Vermaelen and Rosicky to name a few and I'm sure he'd slot in just nicely.
Then we have players who are on the cusp of really good things – Wilshere, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott and Gibbs.
We can't forget any of the young players we have just seen perform in Asia either, some of those, maybe not all, have a great career ahead them…..
I know I keep saying it but we have the base of an very good squad, three/four top class players would that squad to a whole new level, one which really could challenge for silverware….
Popping back to the tour of Asia.
One of the biggest talking points before our tour to Asia surrounded Ryo. Will he stay or go?
This was Arsene Wengers view:
On whether Ryo will go on loan or stay:
I believe he is in a position where he needs to play to have a good chance of competing at the top level. At the moment he will stay in the squad. Should we buy more players I will have to reassess the situation. At the moment he will stay with us.
One who could be on his way out on loan is Chamakh. Crystal Palace want him for at least the first half of the season. After then of course, he'll be free to talk to other clubs and secure himself a nicely paid job somewhere else as his contract comes to an end….
Nothing in the gossip today, good, we have no doubt all had enough of gossip. Now it's time for action. It's Monday morning, Arsene Wenger and the players are back in London and the new season is not far away.
It's time for one or two signings to be made, and surely they have to be this week….
That's it for another day, have a good one….

Uh, remember how we kind of got your hopes up with the promise of Batman in 3D earlier today? Well, we hope you North American readers didn't rush to your local game emporium to pre-order the "Game of the Year" edition, as you probably would have gotten laughed at. Warner Bros. confirmed to Joystiq that Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition -- with the 3D feature -- is only coming to Europe, Asia and Australia.
We also learned that, no matter what territory you live in, 3D is not a feature that's being added to existing copies of the game. If you want all three dimensions, you're going to have to pony up for the GOTY edition. This may seem tough now, but if you, Charlie Bucket-style, convince yourself that it's better just by itself (the third dimension standing in for golden Wonka ticket here, of course) we're sure you'll pull through.

My toddler hates having her diaper changed. Help!
Our 16-month-old suddenly hates diaper changes! The second we put her on her back, she starts crying, and then either rolls over on her stomach or stands up. We've gotten pretty good at changing wet diapers while she's standing, but for messy diapers, there's no way! Any suggestions?

I have a small basket of little toys at the end of the changing table. I sit my son on the changing mat, he picks a toy and then he's distracted and lies downposted 12/03/2012 by caroleconnelly
My 13 month old has teh very same issue.. I sing his fav rhymes like "Baa baa black sheep " n "old mc donalds" n ask him to repeat .. The trick is to keep the baby engaged with his fav song or activity n get the diaper changed whilst hes into it .. !posted 11/27/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
the only way i can change him sometimes is to stick a pacifier in his mouth!!. my son is 18 months and rarely uses a pacy. sometimes for his nap in the morning, but thats it. now we have t give it to him when we change his diaper. its not cool!!posted 11/19/2012 by kaydekng
I sing Old MacDonald to my 18mo and let him come up with the animals. Sometimes the animal will be "melmo" so then I just ask him what "melmo" says. I add the sound he makes to the song and just move onto the next animal. He loves it..posted 11/12/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Our 17 mo old boy is the same way. He has been wearing pull ups for a few months now and we change him standing leaning on bed for support.. As for the dirty diapers we rip the sides of diapers and it makes for easier clean up. Hope this helps!posted 10/22/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Sometimes stickers get eaten, and sometimes despite your best struggle using you leg or foot to hold baby down doesn't help. Yes I have done that and if that's all that works you use it. My best solution though is a collection I have. I have a collection of small pewter dragon statues, and other assorted things(a cat, a bird on a piece of driftwood, dogs in a basket etc) and my son loves to hold one or two of those and stops struggling instantly. Or he likes to play with a necklace or bracelet of costume jewelry. You can get some cheap bright stuff at most kids stores, and make it a diaper changing toy ONLY. When your done diaper change take it away. If they don't behave during the change take it away, but where they can see it and only give it to them if they are behaving,posted 10/21/2012 by Allyka
Stuffed animal or anything you normally don't give your child to play which makes it more fun and they concentrate. Say like your hair brush, or a lotion bottle, or even daddy's wallet. face it your child has put more nastier things in his/ her mouth so chewing on brush bristles or swallowing the hardened up lotion is not going to kill them my daughter actually like the lotion bottle the best.posted 11/27/2011 by snazzymomma89
The best way to change a toddler is to distract them from whats happening with a toy or a song something that will not make it seem less scary when changing baby try and make changing baby a bonding time between mom or dad and baby it time to talk to them and remember that baby,s fell and can pick up on your stress level so trying to remain as calm as posable . trust me it helpsposted 10/03/2011 by loveing mommy 24
Huggies pull on diapers are the best! So quick and easy! My twins are the squirmiest babies ever and since I bought the pull ons it has been so much better!posted 09/15/2011 by Lane&Cole's Mommy
The best thing that works for me is make sure they have their bottle or their favorite toy. That always for me well at least most the timeposted 07/02/2011 by MSE0915

Access HealthColumbus designed the connector based on findings from focus groups with Latino workers and learning sessions with local employers and health care providers. The connector included several elements:

Good video camera for recording theater?
My local theater company needs a new video camera for recording performances. It obviously will need to handle a wide variety of lighting situations, and I'm not sure if that means we're looking for a particular brand, model, or feature. It will usually be tripod mounted, so size and weight aren't necessarily an issue. It's a small black box theater, so the need to zoom would be pretty rare. Are there any we should definitely consider, or will pretty much any good quality unit do the trick these days?
How can I use 2 microphones with only 1 input?
I use a wired lavalier mic that plugs into my camera with a mini-plug input. I'd like to use 2 mics for interviews - preferably on seperate channels.

You dun goofed.
For all Unity developers and developers-to-be, both beginners and professionals!
In our most transparent post yet, we discuss some problems with the early gameplay from a game design viewpoint.
Posted by Jeoo on Sep 16th, 2013
Hello. I'm Sasu and I like to write blogs.
Everyone's been very busy lately. We're working hard to get everything essential working without a hitch, but hitches keep coming along. Well, that's the reality of game development and there's not much you can do about that. Except maybe try to design things in a more detailed way.
So, today, let's try something a bit different. Instead of me just telling you about a game mechanic, I'll explain some problems we've come across in testing and some solutions we've formed up.
Let's discuss...
While testing Interplanetary, we've repeatedly come across a tiny problem with the Targeting System: it's darn difficult to hit your opponent! There are many things that play a part in this.
The planetary system is alive. Once you've set the trajectory and fired your cannon, time unfreezes and the planets start orbiting. It can be very difficult to foresee the movements of this slightly chaotic system. The biggest problem here is that the planets have a large influence on their surroundings, thanks to their...
Strong gravitational fields. Now, this is something that's almost impossible to predict for a mere human. Sure, you can account for a planet moving in front of your firing line, but can you calculate how exactly it affects your firing trajectory with its gravitational pull? We can't.
The planets are quite tiny. Small things are more difficult to hit than big things. Who knew?
When shooting a single railgun slug at your enemy planet, the odds of hitting it are very small, even if it happens to be right next to you. Building 15 railguns and firing them all makes it a bit easier, but managing to maintain such an artillery would be very difficult and time consuming in the final game, not to mention the bother of targeting each and every one of them every time. Something needs to change, but what?
We Have Some Ideas
A planetary prediction system would make it much easier see the future positions of planets. We have plans for a system that shows the player the "shadows" of the planets' upcoming positions, depending on the current trajectory drawn. The future trajectory of the railgun slug, affected by the position of the planets, would also be shown as a shadow.
The obvious problem with this solution would be that it takes away the element of predicting planet positions and may make the game way too easy to play. Of course, there would be extensive balancing done to accommodate for this feature.
Lowering the effect of gravitation would be an easier way to tackle the problem, but doing so would also make the game less interesting. In the earlier builds, you only really needed to worry about the gravity of the sun. Other planets' pull was much weaker, so it was possible to actually pull off very accurate attacks. This did take away some of the fun, since crazy, unexpected trajectories didn't happen.
We could just make the planets bigger. This might be the easiest solution and the least problematic for now. The biggest foreseeable problem with it is the change to the visual style. We're trying to keep a "realistic" feel to the game and to sort of keep it grounded. Bigger planets might give the planetary system a caricatured feel. Or, maybe we should give the planetary system more of a "war room"-feel. It doesn't look particularly realistic as it is, so maybe adding more elements to make it look more like a tactical representation of the real thing, would be a good idea.
Now, we simply pick one idea, implement it and test. Or maybe we should use them all? Or something completely different? What do you think?
Check out our webpage for more info on our rocking team and projects!
You dun goofed.
You could have the planets general area of major gravitational pull be shown when you are choosing your shots as well as a repeating representation of the planets movement over a very short time to show the general speed rather than where it will be. The general representation should also be given to the projectile. For now you could probably release an alpha version containing just the firing mechanism to see how others manage.
Good points. There's already a feature where the player is able to control a slider to simulate time and see the planets' movement, but the speed can be difficult to gauge, that's true. Just need to be careful not to make the targeting view look too confusing with all that data.
Oh, how I wish we could release the alpha for testing already, but it's not quite ready yet, unfortunately. We do have an early prototype with a very nice feeling firing mechanism. Might pass it around as a kind of a demo at some point.
The firing mechanism would honestly be all that is necessary to test ideas for the firing mechanism. As for the slider, it would probably need to also show the speed of the projectile in relation to the planets if it does not already do so. Cant wait to test this out to tell you the truth.
Just add a couple more advanced weapons. Satellites, DCPIM rounds, Rockets, Etc. Just to mix it up. I'm personally fine with a slow, long term game thats quite difficult to play.
Oh, different weapons are definitely in the game! Here's an earlier post detailing the basic types: Indiedb.com
My physicist brain gets very excited by games like this. Any sort of interplanetary kinetic delivery system would have tremendous mathematical challenges, mostly presented by the time of year and just getting off the ground with enough force to reach escape velocity but not destroy the launcher. That's a mind blowing amount of energy to lift a kinetic vehicle onto its trajectory from a planet surface, especially if the mass is enough to do any good on entry to the target's atmosphere and make contact with the surface.
Those are exactly the same kind of things that motivated me to start making a game like Interplanetary. I would like to pay attention to details as much as possible and offer reasonable explanations to why things work like they work in the game. Of course we need to make some sacrifices here and there to make the gameplay enjoyable, but I still want to keep the game as "feet on the ground" as possible.
To your last point: You say that you could make the planets bigger but don't want to change the visual style. Why not try this:
- The planet's size remains the same, but the projectiles become "smart". Each projectile has a small radius around it, and if there's a planet close enough, it will fire an additional engine and move towards that planet.
This way you could hit planets without precisely hitting them. The whole thing could be explained by saying that the projectiles have a gravitational-pull-sensor in them, and when the gravitational pull gets large enough, the projectile moves towards that pull.
By displaying the radius you could make it quite plausible for players. And you can easily adjust that radius for different guns, or leave it away entirely for the really strong guns.
Actually, this is something that we've been talking about for some of the weapons. Great minds think alike, huh?

Question: Hello. I was interested in getting a full std testing ran. I'm a bisexual woman currently in a same sex relationship. My last partner was a man and may or may not have been faithful. My partner has never been with a man but has had a larger number or partners. We would both like to get a full testing done just to know were totally safe before we start trying for kids. Do you offer that and what does it run?
Answer: Family Planning offers chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and rapid HIV testing. All services, including STI testing, are offered on a sliding fee scale. No one will be denied services because of inability to pay. Please call 440-352-0608 to schedule an appointment at any of our four locations.
Question: Hi there! I have Ohio Medicaid. I need to get a full STD test. Do you accept Ohio Medicaid and if you do how should I go about setting up an appointment? Thank you!
Answer: The Family Planning Association does accept various insurance providers, including Medicaid. Please call 440-352-0608 to schedule an appointment for STI testing.
Question: I got married 2 months ago. Ever since my husband and i started having sex then it's been very painful. My best friend got married last year and told me she it hurts for awhile but after a month or so it should stop hurting, but it still does every time. I know it's important to be wet enough, and if not to use lube, so we do all the time. But the pain is always there. Both of us were virgins before this so I think its very safe to say neither of us have any type of STD.
My question is why is it like this? Will it always be like this? Is there something wrong with me?
Answer: If these are the symptoms you are experiencing, I would encourage you to call and schedule a pelvic exam, either at Family Planning (440-352-0608) or with your regular gynecologist.
Question: I think I should get tested for STI. How much will it cost to get tested assuming I'm at the top of your sliding scale? Also how much would treatment be assuming I have say chlamydia? I have a burning sensation when I urinate?
How/when can I get tested? Should I be going to the HIV sites? Thanks for all your help.
Answer: Testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea involves a cotton swab for females and a urine sample for males. Family Planning also can test for HIV with a finger prick blood test that will offer results in about twenty minutes. If you have a concern, please call and schedule an appointment in order to get tested as soon as possible 440-352-0608. You also have the option to attend Teen Clinic in Painesville this Monday, October 7th. Scheduling is reserved for teens and you also have the option of walking in if there are no available appointments when you call.
In regards to cost, Family Planning operates off of a sliding fee scale, based off income and family size. However, no one is turned away because of inability to pay.
Question: Okay…at one point I was unsure if I had something or not but I know I do now :/ I wanna get it checked out and taken care of. It feels gross, and it itches and I want it fixed ASAP. The main problem I have is I don't want my parents to know. I'm 18 years old. My bank account is still in the same main account as my moms, so if I start taking out too much money she'll notice. How much would it cost to treat an std and can you guys treat it and take care of it all there? Like if I go, get tested, test positive for something, will you guys be able to treat me or will you send me elsewhere. Again I won't be able to go elsewhere without my parents finding out and that's not even an option. And then what's the next step. I go, get tested, test positive….then what? And what's a cost? I know it's based on income and insurance but what if I don't have a whole lot of money and no insurance. So many Q's. Sorry. Helppp
Answer: If you have a concern, please call and schedule an appointment in order to get tested as soon as possible. You also have the option to attend Teen Clinic in Ashtabula this Monday, September 30th. Scheduling is reserved for teens and you also have the option of walking in if there are no available appointments when you call.
The Family Planning Association can screen and treat many sexually transmitted infections including but not limited to chlamydia, gonorrhea and herpes. Parental consent is not required in order to be tested for any STI and I can assure you your medical visit will be kept confidential. Because you do not have insurance, the cost for the STI testing will be determined from a sliding scale, based of your income. However, no one is ever turned away from Family Planning because of inability to pay.
Question: Im afraid I have some sort of STD ;( it has me stressing out so much and worrying like crazy. Can I come there and get it checked out and get some sort of treatment for it? I don't want my parents to know. I'm 18 years old but still live at home. Help!
Answer: The only way to know if you have contracted an STI is to contact your local Family Planning Association, or your health provider, and get yourself tested. Family Planning keeps all client information confidential.
Lake County Family Planning: (440)352-0608
Ashtabula County Planning: (440)992-5953
Question: im a active gay man bottom and shared by my boy friend with his buddies and they do not use condoms as I enjoy the feeling and so do they. one of his friends just got of the prison system. how offen should I get std testing and hiv testing done
Answer: At Family Planning, we usually recommend that sexually active people get tested for STIs including HIV every 3-6 months.
Question: Do you do free testing for chlamydia?
Answer: The cost for all STI testing at Family Planning is determined by our sliding fee scale. The patients income determines where they fall on that scale, so someone with a relatively low or no income would get their testing for a minimal to no cost.
"When do you do testing for STD's and HIV, here in Ashtabula? I'm a gay bottom male, last HIV test was last Nov. and never tested for STD's."
A: If interested in getting an STD test, you can just call the Family Planning Association and schedule an appointment. The phone number to our Ashtabula clinic is 440-992-5953.
"What is the most likely way to contract pubic lice?Please tell me in percentages."
A: "There are not any exact percentages available for the most likely ways to contract pubic lice. Pubic lice are usually spread through sexual contact. Rarely, pubic lice can be spread through contact with an infested person's towels, clothes or bedding."

This is kind of a reasonable documentary. I don't care for the title - what next, "How we got women" or "How we got black"?
I actually remember it being even worse than the documentary can describe. And the journey far more difficult. I''d like some reparations. And wont get them, so you have to move on.
Anyway, better than some versions.
Yeah, that's a great video as well, Daniel. Thanks for posting it.
I also enjoyed your childhood story about interracial marriages. So many of kids' "But why?" questions are asked because what they see just doesn't make sense in their eyes.
Just think about all the current fuss parents are making about allowing trans-gendered school students to use the bathroom in which they feel the most comfortable. Some parents are outraged, but I bet if you surveyed the students, most would likely not even care or want it to be an issue. That's why being a good parent (or mentor) is so crucial to our future. Kids learn their values from adults.
Carl, thank you for posting. Intersex folks need to be included at the top of the list. Somehow, people who are intersex are often left out of the discussion. That is unwise, unfair, and wrong.
Ages ago, in my racist church, I got into trouble for asking "If no one can marry outside their race, then who do racially mixed people marry?" The answer was never good - some people said interracial had to marry interracial people. Some said they couldn't marry anyone. Others said you had to marry the race that you looked the most like. If you are 50% one thing and 50% another, then you have to marry someone with the same proportions of the same races. My conclusion was that racists were just stupid. They pretend race is an absolute barrier, but don't realize there is no barrier, only fuzzy overlay. Which is good. Fuzz is much more interesting and enjoyable than stone.
With intersex, it's sort of a similar thing, barriers not being what we are taught. If you have to marry "the other gender", and intersex people are both or neither, or something else, then who do they marry? If only each other, then does that mean there are more than 2 genders? If so, then the entire christian basis of man+woman falls apart.
In the end, we are all only human. We HAVE to stand up against medicalized genital mutilation by surgeons and paid for by health insurance. It is not gender correction, and not gender assignment. It is mutilation.
Here is a video I liked a lot. Different topic. I think this kid is adorable.
Another great interview (and a cat.)
We still have plenty to do in the world, where in some countries we can't take life and liberty for granted!!
On a much lighter note, the Huffington Post published some art appropriate for wrapping up Bisexual Awareness Week. A bit from one of the cartoons:
Here's a wonderful interview with Bisi Alimi, a Nigerian activist. I stand in awe of such individuals who are fighting for our rights in the most intolerant places.
Unfortunately you're absolutely right about that Carl. Nothing will ever make a dent with these people. Fingers in ears - la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la I can't hear you.
That's a great letter, Bertold. Many good rational points in it. But rationality isn't a strong characteristic of fundamental christians. At the end of the day, this gay pastor will be classified by the fundamentalists as just another deviant who is not a "True Christian." Case closed. No more need for additional arguments.

Coach Joe Gilliam, former legendary TSU coach, takes part in his annual football camp at TSU in Nashville Wednesday, June 2, 2010.
Former Tennessee State football coach Joe Gilliam Sr.'s death Wednesday will impact players and coaches stretching back to when he arrived as an assistant in 1963, athletics director Teresa Phillips said.
"The passing of coach Gilliam has cast a sadness across the Tiger nation," Phillips said. "He was a great teacher, a genius coach, a developer of men. He will be missed but never forgotten in the hearts and souls of all of us who bleed blue."
