Generally, there is a presumption in favor of a biological parent having custody of his or her child. The South Carolina Supreme Court has long recognized a biological parent’s superior rights over those of third parties with regard to custody, in the absence of a showing that the biological parent is unfit. Kay v. Rowland, 285 S.C. 516, 331 S.E.2d 781 (1985), citing McDowell v. Richardson, 279 S.C. 268 (1983).
For grandparents seeking custody of grandchildren, the question then, is whether the biological parent is unfit to have or retain custody of the children.
Evidence that the parents were drug users and drug dealers, see Baker v. Wolfe, 333 S.C. 605 (Ct. App. 1998), was sufficient to show the biological parent to be unfit to have custody.
South Carolina also has a “de facto custodians” statute, which gives standing to third parties seeking visitation or custody of children when the third parties have been the primary caregivers of children for specified periods of time, if the natural parents are unfit or other compelling circumstances exist. The statute can be found at section 63-15-60 of the South Carolina Code.

Camelback Golf Club is renovating the Indian Bend Course, which will reopen in the fall of 2013. Courtesy of Camelback G.C.
PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. -- Big changes are coming to 18 holes at one of the Scottsdale area's top golf resorts -- the Camelback Golf Club at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn Scottsdale Resort & Spa.
In conjunction with the property's 75th anniversary in 2012, Marriott is completely redesigning the Indian Bend Course at Camelback Golf Club, one of the resort's two championship courses. Indian Bend closed in the summer of 2012 for a major renovation project that will last until the fall of 2013.
"When it reopens, the course will be unrecognizable," said Rob Bartley, the director of golf at Camelback Golf Club. "Twelve of the course's 18 holes don't even exist today. Golfers familiar with Indian Bend will be pleasantly surprised."
The design firm of Michael Hurdzan/Dana Fry was selected by Camelback to take on the overhaul. Based in Ohio, the team recently designed future U.S. Open host Erin Hills Golf Course in Wisconsin. This will be their first effort in Arizona.
At the heart of the renovation at Indian Bend is a rebuilding of a desert wash that runs through the property, which is located in a flood plain. Over the years, the wash has flattened and its control of the water from valley flash floods has diminished. The reconstruction of the wash will restore area flood control, while unneeded soil will also be used to build new contours in the fairways, which until now have been predominantly flat.
Hurdzan and Fry will also eliminate more than 100 of the course's 250 acres of maintainable turf and reintroduce native desert areas. Not only will the course's appearance be completely transformed, but less water will be needed. Another benefit is that these areas will become nesting grounds and food sources for local bird life and solidify the golf club's status as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.
Playability to the layout will also be improved. Before, Indian Bend had just three sets of tees and the women's set was a longer-than-normal 5,800 yards. While the renovation will extend the course's championship yardage to 7,238, increasing the tee boxes to five sets per hole will help cater to golfers of all abilities. The new forward set will play just less than 5,000 yards.
Located in Paradise Valley between Phoenix and Scottsdale, Indian Bend originally opened in 1970 and was designed by Jack Snyder. Traditionally, the course has played second fiddle to the next-door Padre Course in terms of greens fees and overall experience, especially after the Padre was renovated in 1999 by Arthur Hills. Camelback's goal with the renovation is to create two equally remarkable golf experiences for JW Marriott resort guests as well as area golfers to go along with the club's 36,000-square-foot clubhouse and full practice facility.
Indian Bend has a target reopening date of Oct. 20, 2013. The Padre Course and the JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort & Spa remain open in their entirety.

Music is one form of art and is integrated with human culture from time immemorial. Music has great effect on our brains. Listening to the music of various forms can give calming or soothing effect, reduces anxiety and sadness, and improves the quality of life. A number of researchers and studies have explored the role of musical therapy in the management of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).,,,,,,, Indian music comprises various ragas. Raga is a music structure which has a set of rules and specific musical notes. These rules and notes are specific to each raga. Due to this, the ragas can affect the mood or emotion, cognition, attention, memory etc., of a person. Acquired brain damage can be due to blunt trauma or secondary to surgery. Patients who had undergone cerebral surgeries often suffer from emotional disturbances, depression, agitation, poor quality of life, poor participation in communication due to aphasia, and at times sleep disturbances. Knowing the positive effects of music helps us to provide a comprehensive treatment to patients along with standard medical and rehabilitation care. Music was introduced in rehabilitation of head injury individuals at the time of World War II and its practice increased in Western hospitals thereafter., The aim of the present study is to know the effect of musical therapy in postoperative cerebral surgery patients.
A prospective study was conducted on patients who had undergone surgery for various cerebral etiologies in the Department of Neurosurgery of Narayana Medical College Hospital, Andhra Pradesh (India). Patients who are above 18-year-old and having moderate-to-severe brain damage were considered for musical therapy. Severity was decided based on Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score. A number of ten patients were selected for musical therapy. Details of the patients are listed in [Table 1] and [Table 2]. All the selected patients were given South Indian classical instrumental music using mp3 player with earphones thrice a day. The volume of the music was kept at constant level throughout all sessions, and volume was lower than normal conversation level (on 1–15 level volume was set at 3). Three ragas were selected; Hindola, Todi, and Kalyani. Hindola was given in the morning, Todi was given in the afternoon, and Kalyani was given in the evening.,, Hindolam is a carnatic ragam and is a audava ragam means pentatonic scale. It is a janya ragam (derived scale) and does not possess all seven swaras (Sa, Ri, Ga, Ma, Pa, Da, Ni). Thia ragam is usually soothing to listen. This ragam is symmetrical in ascending (arohanam– S G2 M1 D1 N2 S) and descending (avarohanam– S N2 D1 M1 G2 S). Due to the symmetrical nature of arohanam and avarohanam, this ragam is improvized very well and commonly used in concerts. Hanumatodi ragam is popularly known as Thodi ragam is a carnatic ragam and is one of the common ragas used in music concerts. This is a melakarta ragam (parent scale) and difficult to perform due to its notes and intonation. The arohanam structure of this raga is S R1 G2 M1 P D1 N2 S, and avarohanam structure is S N2 D1 P M1 G2 R1 S. Kalyani ragam is a carnatic ragam and is melakarta (parent scale) ragam having all seven swaras. The word Kalyani means, she who causes auspicious things and is usually performed in the starting of the concert. The arohana structure of this raga is S R2 G3 M2 P D2 N3 S, and avarohana structure is S N3 D2 P M2 G3 R2 S.
These ragas were given time specifically because, in that particular time, each raga is more effective and all ragas are known to evoke calming/soothing effect. Each session of the music was 30 min in duration, and music experience was given for a week, three times in a day.
Heart rate, systolic blood pressure (SBP), respiratory rate, pupillary movement, and motor activity were considered as variables of interest to identify the effect of musical therapy. Effect of musical therapy was estimated as change between pre- and post-session values. Prerecording values of vital parameters was considered as baseline recording. To avoid bias in data collection, vital parameters were recorded by ICU nursing staff (who was changed in 3 shifts). All participants were observed for three times a day for subsequent 7 days. 21 readings for each patient, like these 210 observations of 10 participants were summarized. Changes in study variable observed after musical therapy were expressed in percentages by assuming denominator of 210 observations. Statistical computations were performed using SPSS version 24.0 software for Mac. Changes in variable under consideration were estimated in terms of percentages. Overall unit increase as well as decrease in study variable in mentioned separately.
Ten patients with 9 males and 1 female were selected for the study on the basis of GCS scores. The average age of participants was 48.5 years (23–71). Among five study variables, motor activity and pupillary movements were qualitative responses; hence, excluded from further consideration of this study. Changes are heart rate, respiratory rate, and SBP were represented in percentages to total of 21 (3 session/day for consecutive 7 days) reading of each of ten participants.
Change in heart rate was observed in 162 (77%) of responses while 48 (14%) responses were not changed and remained missing. Mean unit change recorded in heart rate after music therapy was 0.92 units, which was analyzed separately for increase and decrease response in pre- and post-music therapy. On an average, 5.20 units heart rate was came down while in remaining patients, it was found to be increased by 6.20 units.
One hundred and thirty-three (63%) responses of SBP were found changed after music therapy while 77 (37%) were either not changes or remained missing. Mean unit change recorded in SBP after music therapy was 1.36 units, which was analyzed separately for increase and decrease response in pre- and post-music therapy. On average, 9.10 units SBP was lowered while in remaining patients it was increased by 10.95 units.
One hundred and thirty-five (64%) responses of Respiratory Rate (RR) were changed, and 75 (36%) were not changes or remained missing. Mean unit change recorded in heart rate after music therapy was 0.13 units, which was analyzed separately for increase and decrease response in pre- and post-music therapy. On an average, 3.00 units respiratory rate was came down while in remaining patients, it was found to be increased by 4.22 units.
Pupillary response and Motor activity: Being qualitative values, changes in both of these responses were not found to be changing for majority of cases (83%). For remaining, 17% these both responses were missing, and hence, not considered for further calculation of the study.
Koelsch  in his extensive works on music perception and musical therapy reported some scientific perspective of musical therapy. He reported that five factors which contribute to effect of musical therapy. They are attention modulation, emotion modulation, cognitive modulation, behavior modulation, and communication modulation. Attention modulation: Due to the presence of music, person's attention will be diverted easily from negative feelings such as depression, sadness, anxiety, etc., Thus, it gives benefit. Emotion modulation: Neuroimaging studies showed limbic and paralimbic systems are involved in emotional changes. As the music has the ability to evoke and change emotions, it will be useful in the treatment of pathologic anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, and depression. Cognitive modulation: Analysis of in terms of decoding the syntax and semantics in the music helps in the long-term care of patients of Alzheimer's disease. Behavior modulation: This includes evoking and conditioning of behaviors such as physical movements by stimulating the premotor cortex. Communication modulation: Music helps in training nonverbal communication skills through active music therapy, where patient makes music and is used extensively for disorders such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder etc.
There is a limited research about scientific findings of the effect of musical therapy in head injury patients in the Indian context. Indian classical music ragas are known to work wonders on emotions. There are various ragas for each kind of emotion. For example; Natta Bhairavi and Revathi ragas associated with fear, doubts, and suppressed feelings. Ananda Bhairavi and Mohanam ragas are associated with joy and beauty. In Indian music, different ragas are presented at different points of time in a day. Ragas effect also depends on the time of presentation. Ragas such as Bhairavi are for early morning (4–7 am), Madhuvanthi for afternoon (1–4 pm), and MaruBihaga for night (7–10 pm). Very few studies were carried out about the effect of ragas on neurodisorder cases with proper scientific base. Singh et al. used ten different ragas for ten different points of time on Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and diffuse head injury cases. Singh et al. found faster recovery of cognitive functions in cases which underwent music therapy along with regular medical care.
Music therapy given either passive or active way gives benefits to TBI patients in terms of reduction in anxiety and stress, facilitates breathing, improving attention, and emotional adjustment. Neurologic investigations pertaining to brain activity showed difference in activation of areas during positive and negative emotions. When music was given, parahippocampal areas (which are active during positive emotions) were more active than orbitofrontal areas (which are active during negative emotions).
In the present study, vitals were measured to see the music effect. Pupillary response and motor activity were not changed; however, changes were seen in respiratory rate, heart rate, and SBP. Changes in these parameters were increased for some and decreased for some. Decreased values could be due to the calming effect of the music. Increased values could be due to arousal or alertness of the patients. Another reason for increased values could be the preference of music. Preferred music gives more positive effect, and unpreferred music can cause arousal, anxiety, etc.,, As the musical therapy was given for a short period, exact reasons for the decrease or increase in values cannot be said. This study needs to be carried out on large number of the study population with head injuries of all severities to know the Indian classical music therapy effect during the acute period. However, the results gave hope for positive findings such as decreased blood pressure and respiratory rate which indicate relaxed state.

there is a limited research about scientific findings of the effect of musical therapy in head injury patients in the indian context. indian classical music ragas are known to work wonders on emotions. there are various ragas for each kind of emotion. for example; natta bhairavi and revathi ragas associated with fear, doubts, and suppressed feelings. ananda bhairavi and mohanam ragas are associated with joy and beauty. in indian music, different ragas are presented at different points of time in a day. ragas effect also depends on the time of presentation. ragas such as bhairavi are for early morning (4–7 am), madhuvanthi for afternoon (1–4 pm), and marubihaga for night (7–10 pm). very few studies were carried out about the effect of ragas on neurodisorder cases with proper scientific base. singh et al. used ten different ragas for ten different points of time on cerebrovascular accident (cva) and diffuse head injury cases. singh et al. found faster recovery of cognitive functions in cases which underwent music therapy along with regular medical care.
music therapy given either passive or active way gives benefits to tbi patients in terms of reduction in anxiety and stress, facilitates breathing, improving attention, and emotional adjustment. neurologic investigations pertaining to brain activity showed difference in activation of areas during positive and negative emotions. when music was given, parahippocampal areas (which are active during positive emotions) were more active than orbitofrontal areas (which are active during negative emotions).
in the present study, vitals were measured to see the music effect. pupillary response and motor activity were not changed; however, changes were seen in respiratory rate, heart rate, and sbp. changes in these parameters were increased for some and decreased for some. decreased values could be due to the calming effect of the music. increased values could be due to arousal or alertness of the patients. another reason for increased values could be the preference of music. preferred music gives more positive effect, and unpreferred music can cause arousal, anxiety, etc.,, as the musical therapy was given for a short period, exact reasons for the decrease or increase in values cannot be said. this study needs to be carried out on large number of the study population with head injuries of all severities to know the indian classical music therapy effect during the acute period. however, the results gave hope for positive findings such as decreased blood pressure and respiratory rate which indicate relaxed state.

The Anthropologist recounts the parallel stories of two women: Margaret Mead, who popularized cultural anthropology in America; and Susie Crate, an environmental anthropologist currently studying the impact of climate change. As revealed through their daughters’ perspectives, Mead and Crate demonstrate a fascination with how societies are forced to negotiate the disruption of their traditional ways of life, whether through encounters with the outside world or the unprecedented change wrought by melting permafrost, receding glaciers and rising tides.
The documnetary is an important documentary for policy, NGO and federal agencies specifically because it is based on anthropological research, one of the critical social science disciplines that methodologically clarifies the human aspects of climate change. Of late, and especially in the context of climate research, there has been significant progress in integrating the natural and social sciences to forefront critical perceptions, understandings, and responses to climate change as it interacts in the diversity of our planet's biocultural systems.
On Wednesday, May 18, the Managing Our Planet series will screen a documentary focusing on the role of anthropology in the investigation of climate change followed by a conversation with the film maker.
The conversation is part of the ongoing “Managing Our Planet” series, jointly developed by George Mason University and the Wilson Center’s Brazil Institute and Environmental Change and Security Program. The series, now in its fifth year, is premised on the fact that humanity’s impacts are planetary in scale and require planetary-scale solutions.

If we are united in our struggle against worker oppression, united in our search for truth amidst lies, united for a truly participatory democratic economic system, the possibilities are only limited by our courage, our determination, and our capacity to imagine. A collaboration between the Independent Plantation Workers' Union of Sumatra (Indonesia), the International Union of Food and Agricultural Workers (IUF) and Vision Machine Film Project.
The Globalization Tapes is a film made by workers for workers. The story isn't told by experts, but by union members from palm oil plantations in Indonesia. Their experience is complemented by workers from both Colombia and Holland. The film powerfully documents their exploration of history, globalization, and how unions around the world can support each other and struggle together.
Using their own forbidden history as a case study, the Indonesian filmmakers trace the development of contemporary globalization from its roots in colonialism to the present. Through chilling first-hand accounts, The Globalization Tapes exposes the devastating role of militarism and repression in building the "global economy", and explores the relationships between trade, third-world debt, and international institutions like the IMF, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization. The film explains how these institutions shape and enforcing the corporate world order.
Amazing documentary. Turly naked film making.
how does one put tears and futility into a comment.
i am a huge music person, Very huge... Music is... my life. I say all that because the instant i realized that Indonesian man was playing guitar and the sound was so familiar so like me, so enjoyable i realized; That he and i, we're brothers. through out the film the music played a large part atleast for me in connecting to these people whos langauge i cannot understand. Music and love ran past that barriar with ease. Soon i realized that his struggle, is my struggle.
Great explanation of the impact of the IMF, World Bank, and the WTO. Great doc!
Thomas M look up Greg Palast, he's a great journalist and has much to say about the WTO, BP and other orgs that pillage for profit. He also is the one that broke the voting fraud story in Florida and other states. When GW Bush stole the election and the country.
Would be interested in learning more about the WTO. From an independent source, anyone knows a good docu about that?
This is a remarkable effort. It is appalling to see the poverty shown in the video. Working for one dollar a day is outrageous.
anyone know where we can buy this doco from?

"I first wrote about what I thought was an interesting e-mail program that showed promise around 1997. It was version 1.0 of The Bat from Moldova. Since then, The Bat (the developers call it "The Bat!" with an exclamation mark) has continued to advance. It has a substantial following in Europe, but it's not well known in the US. That's too bad because it's the best e-mail program available".

"I'd recommend The Bat! Professional — my replacement for Barca — for those with heavier requirements (multiple email accounts, larger volumes of mail or more control). I was pleased to see that The Bat! was in several ways as intelligent as Barca and in some ways better", wrote Russ Harvey.
The Bat! is a stand-alone email client that lets you configure and customize your inbox. Who knows what they were thinking at Ritlabs, SRL when they were picking a name for their industrial-strength shareware e-mail client? Regardless, The Bat! gives power emailers not only basic email features like filtering rules and POP3 and IMAP support, but also a highly customizable interface for sorting and viewing messages and managing multiple mail accounts.
Have you dashed off a quick email, sent it, and immediately: (a)Realized that you left out something important, (b)Wished that you hadn't sent the message, or (c)Noticed a misspelled word as the application was closing the message and queuing it for delivery? The Bat comes to the rescue with a "delayed send" option and you get to choose the delay: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 23 minutes, 2 hours, 1 day. Whatever. It's your choice. And that's just one small reason why my favorite email program has been The Bat for more than a decade.

The frustrating thing about discussing a book like BEREFT is the reason Womersley's the author, and I'm the reader. How do you put into words something as moving, involving, immersing as BEREFT and make it intelligible? No idea, so let's go with the next best option.
"A searing gothic novel of love, longing and justice" sounds, to be frank, not my sort of thing. It's probably the juxtaposition of "gothic" and "love" that somehow or other has my befuddled brain thinking "regency" / "romance". No idea to be honest, but, regardless of why, if THE LOW ROAD hadn't been such a revelation I probably would have gone on ignoring BEREFT in MtTBR. But there was always something that had my eye wandering back to this book, and despite the ridiculous delay in getting started, this turned out to be a one sitting book. Which meant a second reading was required, as once I got to the end, albeit a somewhat rushed ending, I wasn't at all ready to leave Quinn Walker, and had to go back and start over.
BEREFT is the sort of book that crept up on this reader. Set in 1909, a young man returns to his home district after fighting at Gallipoli and then in France in the First World War. He has a history - he fled his home when discovered hunched over the bloodied and abused body of his much loved younger sister. Everyone, including his own father and uncle, assume he killed her, they also vowed to take justice into their own hands should they find him. But post WWI, in the middle of the Spanish Flu epidemic, Walker comes home, desperate to see his mother (who is now dying from the Flu). He is lost, haunted by memories of the war, a sad lonely, bereft figure. His only friend turns out to be a 12-year-old orphan living rough in the bush, hiding from Walker's uncle. Somehow his ability to protect young Sadie Fox becomes his mission, a way of saving her, and himself.
There are touches of the paranormal in BEREFT, but woven, as they are, into the narrative of a man who is struggling anyway with the past and the present, reality and his memories, it is somehow seamless, unexceptional. Perhaps that is because there is so much more to the sense of hope and direction that Sadie gives to Walker that anything that's slightly outside the expected, normal, is somehow acceptable. Anything is okay as long as it gets them through.
But what BEREFT has in spades is intrigue, suspense, and a beautiful sense of love, courage and glimpses of optimism. Reading it was a wonderful experience, and reading it a second time, even knowing the ultimate outcome, just reinforced what a glorious thing it is.
In the NSW town of Flint, Quinn Walker returns to the home he fled ten years earlier when he was accused of an unspeakable crime. Aware that his father and uncle would surely hang him, Quinn hides in the hills surrounding Flint. There, he meets the orphan Sadie Fox — a mysterious young girl who seems to know more about the crime than she should.

There are several interesting facts about cycling at momentummag.com that can help any beginner. Planning to buy a road bike and stuck with the selection process, check the following buying guidelines.
The purpose of buying a bike is the most important factor in deciding your bike because there are bikes for each and every purpose. If you are planning to buy a bike for commuting, road bikes are the best option. Likewise, you have mountain bikes, flat bar bikes, sports bikes, Triathlon bikes and urban bikes. Each and every bike is designed by considering the purpose of riding.
Budget is also one of the important deciding factors of buying a bike. Bikes are available in different pricing options according to the quality and types of bikes. If you are going to use the bike for commuting purpose, you can go for budget bikes. If there is no limit for your budget, you can select some high-end bikes which come with great quality materials. These high-end bikes are very durable and will last for long years if maintained in a proper way. Nowadays, bike companies are manufacturing more different modeled bikes than ever before.

RE: Is the 3.4 patch still on testing ?
Status: offline You're definately right about HOI versus SC2. I've played both, and HOI is definately deeper and more rewarding, but on the other hand its not a major undertaking to play a SC2 turn, so I quite like its ease and playability. Just what you need after a FITE turn.
Is it either pollyanna or trollworks?. I regret feeling the way I do; compelled to express my feelings of frustration with this game and relief over having found another. My apologies. But I'm not happy with the direction toaw has gone, if in fact it has gone anywhere.
TOAW is giving you what you won't get by several games combined. Do not blame it for what it is not to be ment. Fite is one game alone, where do you ever found something like this? Piero, Europe Aflame and over dozents of others szenarios. TOAW is great, and I never found something like it.
So Ralph go on forward, for what TOAW is ment to be!
The Operational Art of War, oddly, seems to be a land-based, theatre (and below) system, IIRC. Does that pretty good.
And, the Beta marches on!
You'd like it if you tried it . It's a blast against the computer.
I'm trying very, very hard to not work on the code so that it can be packaged and released.
Status: offline Ralph's right. What we need now more than anything is a new patch.
More platforms = More customers = More money = More updates. Good for everyone.
Status: offline I've tried to lower the learning curve. This works especially well with a touch screen if you're doing basic play. It works through an iPad, but the remote desktop software adds in an extra layer of complexity, although it DOES allow you to very quickly zoom in. I can now see a couple of people on a couch passing an iPad back and forth, playing Waterloo, Arracourt, or some other game with a small map. I can also play games Solo against Elmer and expect a better fight. I can also allow Elmer to move some of the units for me with me giving broad direction, so I can play larger scenarios, I'm playing Red Thunder 1988 as the Russians right now using my iPad. I suspect that if Matrix puts a touch screen running TOAW up at the next board games conference, it's got the potential to sell quite a few copies.
With TOAW 3.4, I've tried to let you swallow the elephant one bite at a time. One mode allows you to just drag the counters around the screen, and they do the 'right' thing, they either move or attack. You can then bring up the combat planner and walk through the combats and add artillery if needed, and fine tune your attacks. You can ignore the air game, and 'Elmer' will do a reasonable job of handling it. The 'ToolTips' add in information about how the terrain will effect your units. Supply now 'makes sense.' It decreases similar to the way that trucks traveling over the terrain would, instead of the arcane step rules of the original.
I hope I've lessened the learning curve to where you could teach TOAW to a 10 year old without them getting tangled up in the details like I did when I started, I tried to learn the entire manual before playing, which took a lot of the fun out of the game.
Of course, the veteran players can ignore all the new features, and play without tooltips, with right click popping up a menu, etc. If you're playing a PBEM game against another human, that interface makes more sense since you need more control.
But in all seriousness that is pretty awesome. I've been pretty disappointed with games on my Motorola Droid and the iPhone for that matter. I know the iPad is more powerful/bigger but I never thought people would be able to convert complex hex wargames to it!
I'm not a fan boy either, it's my first Apple product since the Apple II. They wanted $1000 to develop on a Mac, and I could develop on a PC for $100 (not that I hold a grudge, or that they're doing the same thing for iPod development or anything .
Just so everyone know, this isn't TOAW running on an iPad, it's using some remote desktop software on the iPad to connect to a Windows laptop running TOAW. I've done some work to make sure that TOAW works reasonably well with a touch interface. Developing this on the iPad would take at least $1000 for tools, and 6-12+ months for a simple port, and that work would be specific to the iPad. I'd be able to sell maybe 100 copies at $10 apiece, if I'm lucky. There are some tools coming out that may reduce the development time, and I'll look at it again once they're out.
I DO hope that other people take a look at how it plays on the iPad through remote desktop. I think that you actually could port a complex wargame to the iPad/Android/Windows 7. The biggest advantage that the iPad has is the larger screen. If you tried playing on an iPod, I suspect that the scrolling would be intolerable.
At least you made the iPad actual useful for once! .../... I never thought people would be able to convert complex hex wargames to it!
Yea that will happen only when people stop coming into my room in college and seeing me play wargames and asking "Is that Risk?"
That's how we roll, though. Always been niche, always will be niche.
"I'm attacking the troll with my sword, plus 2, and my mace, plus 4, with a handicap of plus 5."
"I rolled a 6...that means the troll wins, again."
"Here's a get outta jail card, move me to the cave entrance somebody."
I thought it was dungeons and dragons but I could be wrong.
Things go in waves. For a while (way back when) wargames (Steel Panthers, Panzer General, TOAW, others) were king on the PC. Before that it was RPGs (Wizardry), Before that, it was adventure games (Zork, etc.) I'm not saying we won't always be a niche, but we can definitely be a bigger niche.

As a new player I've been holding off on TOAW3 for a bit until this new patch comes out so I don't have to relearn anything. Glad to see it looks pretty close though.
Actually, it was the helmeted baby that creeped me out.
Keep them coming. Each one has me laughing.
Yeah, he's a lot more fun than "reality" is these days.
