City of Hope Accreditation History
We at the City of Hope have had an active Continuing Medical Education program since the 1950's when the school of Postgraduate Medicine first sponsored extramural conferences. Our first accreditation occurred under the aegis of the California Medical Association in 1978. We continued this statewide accreditation until our expanding national course offerings and reputation evolved into an application for national accreditation in 1997. In July 1999, a two-year provisional accreditation status was awarded through ACCME (Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education).
In February 2005, our CME Program underwent the ACCME's rigorous quadrennial reaccreditation review and survey. We were advised by ACCME on July 15, 2005 that we had been Reaccredited with Commendation with Exemplary Compliance demonstrated in six Essential Elements. This designation placed our CME Program in the top one to two percent of CME program providers in the nation. We were also listed as a "best practices" resource on the ACCME website under their Exemplary Compliance List.
On February 24, 2011, our City of Hope CME Program once again underwent ACCME re-accreditation review. On July 22, 2011, the ACCME apprised us of their decision to award our program its second consecutive Accreditation with Commendation citing compliance in all 22 Criteria and Accreditation Policies and characterizing our CME Program as having "...demonstrated an engagement with your environment in support of physician learning and change that is part of a system of quality improvement."

Made in City of Hope: T cells – enlisting the immune system to beat cancer
The body's immune system is usually adept at attacking outside invaders such as bacteria and viruses. But because cancer originates from the body's own cells, the immune system can fail to see it as foreign. As a result, the body's most powerful ally can remain largely idle against cancer as the disease progres...

If you fit these three criteria, you should get lung cancer screening

This is just a stones throw from my house Jan! Behind it is the garden of a large house. I like to do some medium sized puzzles too, and even on the rare occasion, quite large ones. I only posted this and the bigger one yesterday as I only had the one photo to post each day!
How beautiful! Where is this, Lorna? I, too, like the larger puzzle - a bit of a challenge, but not too much!!
Interesting you like the bigger size Pat. I have been wondering about posting more medium sized puzzles - maybe I will!
That is quite a poetic imagining RebaBe! Thanks.
Love this size .. thanks
Imagine where this opened up to; the centuries that have worn away that Roman arch & the winters that masked the path to the unused door. ;-{} (7:46)

News Releases
With the changing real estate landscape and the increased use of broker price opinions by market participants, the National Association of Realtors® has launched a new certification, BPO Resource, recognizing Realtors® who have completed NAR's new BPO education program.
While the past few years have been challenging for many, owning a home continues to be a goal for Americans of every background, according to John D. Trasviña, Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The National Association of Realtors® has awarded four state and local Realtor® associations with $15,000 through its Diversity Initiative Grants Program. Award recipients were announced at the Realtors® Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo in Washington, D.C., this week.
The commercial real estate market continues a slow pace toward recovery with occupancy rates rising in the office and industrial properties in most major cities across the U.S. supported by rising employment and restocking of wholesale inventory.
A proposed rule to define qualified residential mortgages (QRM) under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) would unnecessarily restrict access to home ownership. Realtors® at the Real Estate Services Forum – The Impact of Dodd-Frank on Real Estate session today during the Realtors® Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo gained insights into the implications of a narrowly defined QRM.
Home sales are expected to stay on an uptrend through 2012, although the performance will be uneven with mortgage constraints weighing on the market, according to experts at a residential real estate forum today at the Realtors® Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo here.
Realtors® strive to preserve and expand housing opportunities in communities across the country, and the National Association of Realtors® supported many of these efforts through the Ira Gribin Workforce Housing Grants. NAR issued a final report, "Tackling Workforce Housing State by State," on the grant program results today at the Realtors® Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo in Washington, D.C.
A new rule from the Federal Trade Commission that aims to protect home owners from mortgage relief scams may impact real estate professionals who represent clients involved in short sale transactions.
The National Association of Realtors® is modifying its popular Green Designation program to focus on residential real estate practice.
Now is the time for Realtors® to come to the aid of their industry, on behalf of the nation's 75 million home owners, aspiring home owners, real estate investors, and the nation's economy.

A Southern California jury is deciding the fate of a fortuneteller accused of convincing teen girls he could turn around bleak futures if they had sex with him.
Cesar Duran is charged with forcible rape, lewd acts on a 14-year-old child and unlawful intercourse with a minor. The Torrance jurors heard closing arguments Wednesday and will deliberate Thursday.
Prosecutor Lana Kim says the 47-year-old Inglewood fortuneteller tricked the girls into having sex with him by telling them bad things would happen and he could help. The prosecutor says Duran told one girl "my spirit has to be in you."
Defense lawyer Gregory Humphries says Duran's videotaped confession came about because he was cold in a police interrogation room and wanted to end questioning.

The Diary Healer
Invitation to Share your 'Evidence of Life Experience' in new book by June Alexander
The Diary Healer explores how the diary can help understand, inspire, heal and liberate self and provide a learning tool for others.
Writing about our life, especially the important issues, can help us to better understand these issues and eventually diagnose problems that stem from them.
Yet the process of diary writing remains a largely untapped resource in health care professions, in helping people to heal and 'know who they are' at every life stage, and evidence-based research particularly in the field of eating disorders, is sadly lacking. This book aims to inspire correction to this imbalance.
Diary writing is particularly helpful in helping us to understand who we are, and cope with challenges such as mental or physical illness, emotional pain and trauma. In The Diary Healer I draw on diary writing and eating disorder experience, together with evidence-based research, to explain why and how the process of diary writing can assist in recovery and in maximizing life quality and potential. While this book's primary healing focus is on eating disorders, it offers guidance for all who seek to be more in touch and in tune with their true self.
Sarah Ball is running a two day workshop for women in late March. Please find the enclosed flyer below and please get in contact with Sarah via her website:
Several weeks ago, Carolyn Costin (author of '8 Keys to Recovery from an Eating Disorder' and founder of Monte Nido Residential Recovery Centres in the US) presented two workshops. Below is a summary of key points that two people in the Isis Mentor program would like to share.

Please consider becoming a member of Isis and passing this information through your networks.

King George's total also grew, from $160,000 in 2013 to $171,000 in 2014.
Caroline County grew from &130,000 to $146,000.
Spotsylvania also grew its sale tax revenue from $1.2 million in 2013 to $1.4 this May.
Fredericksburg reported more than $895,000 brought in by sales tax, down from more than $920,000 the previous year.

looking for a great avocado sandwich or dish..
Anyone have a suggestion for a yummy avocado sandwich in the GTA?? I had an amazing grilled avicado panini in California that I can't match..I've had the Baton Rouge avocado sandwich (boring.) I'm craving anything avocado!
All the Best makes a California Club amongst other sandwiches for takeout. The CC has avocado, sprouts, a mild cheddar, and tomatoes with mayo on a great foccacio.
re: embee
That is a fabulous dish at Le Petit Gourmet! (see above)
I have also had a quite good Bacon, Tomato & Avocado Club sandwich at "Over Easy" on Bloor Street just west of Avenue Road, they close at around 4 p.m. Have had both Breakfast and Lunch at Over Easy and while not the best in the city they have lots of choices........
re: caddie
Cafe Bernate near Queen and Ossington does a nice chicken, avocado and brie sandwich. They have a few others with avocado of the at least 30 sandwiches in on the menu.
re: caddie
I second the recommendation for Sage, the combo of feta and avocado is delish.
Yes yes yes! Saving Grace makes a sandwich with white cheddar, avocado, and rosemary mayo on raisin toast (I know!) that is reeeeally tasty.
It's been awhile since I was there (maybe 6 months) so you may want to check first if you decide to go (though I know it was immensely popular).
Saving Grace
907 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M6J1V9, CA
Mildred Pierce used to have the best club sandwich with avocado...maybe when they re-open in Liberty Village it will be back on the menu!
Mocha Mocha on the Danforth makes an incredible Vegetarian Club sandwich that is far from boring --- made with creamy avocado slices, grilled(?) eggplant, shredded carrots, cheese, tomato salsa, lettuce & tomato on toasted organic 7 grain.
When I crave a great avocado sandwich (and I crave it often) this is what I have: it's huge and oh-so satisfying.
re: DishyDiva
I like their BALT on sourdough, but I may have to try the club next time!
re: julesrules
Gosh, I forgot all about the BALT, which is good. Just make sure you're hungry if you opt for the double-decker club -- it's a fairly substantial sandwich. I usually ask them to omit the 3rd slice of bread.
i have to say that Get Real on Ossington does an amazing avocado with feta cheese
sandwich to die for.... yummmmmyyyyyyyy
look no further than the avocado and brie sandwich served at the Red Room and the new more upscale cousin, Nirvana. with a side salad, still the most affordable and yummy dinner on my student budget!

November 21, 2014
Updated By: Winnie Wright
February 4, 2014, 6pm
Commutes on I-75 may not take quite as long if Georgia legislators get their way.
"I actually think it would be a good idea for those who have to commute. They can be able to get to work faster. That way they're not spending more of their time on the road," said Josh Lale, Georgia driver.
"In places that go from 55 to 70, there's an advantage. People will get to their destinations a little quicker, but around here, 5 miles per hour isn't going to make that much of a difference. But I guess it helps some," said Michael Earls, Georgia driver.
Georgia drivers are sounding off after the Georgia House of Representatives voted to increase the speed limit on some local interstates.
The proposed legislation would increase the speed limit from 55 to 70 miles per hour on interstates in urban areas with a population of 50,000 or more.
GDOT says the proposal doesn't mean speed limits would increase immediately and not all of the state's interstates would be impacted. Local law enforcement says they have their reservations about the potential changes.
"The law enforcement community takes the stance that safety always trumps or outweighs convenience. For you to get across the state of Georgia that much faster is only going to get you there a few minutes earlier. Getting there a few minutes earlier increases the risk of injuries and fatalities and is not worth it," said SGT Michael Adams, Lowndes County Sheriff's Office.
Now the legislation still has to go through the Georgia Senate, but like GDOT says, even if it is passed, the changes won't necessarily be automatic.
Associated Press News Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- The Georgia House of Representatives has voted to increase the speed limit to 70 mph on interstates in urban areas.
Morris News Service reported that the House voted 157-7 to pass their version of the bill Monday. The legislation would raise the speed limit from 55 mph in areas with populations of 50,000 or more.
GDOT officials have said the proposal wouldn't mean an automatic increase in speed limits on all of the area's interstates.
The agency raised the speed limit from 55 mph on a nearly 30-mile portion of Interstate 285 late last year.

LEE COUNTY, Fla. - The dogs are once again racing out of the gate at the Naples Fort Myers Greyhound Track and more than a thousand spectators were expected to attend throughout opening day.
But concerns about dwindling ticket sales have management hoping voters will say "yes" to Lee County Ordinance 12-13, allowing expansion for slot machines.
Greyhound racing has been on the decline for years.
"We used to be the only thing to do. There was no other gambling, there was no slot machines, no casinos," said General Manager, Juan Fra.
Now, managers are betting the proposal to bring in hundreds of slot machines will help breath new life into the venue.
"It'll bring many jobs and it'll help us develop the land. We think it's a win, win for us and the community," said Fra.
Not everyone is ready for more gambling. The Diocese of Venice released this statement to Wink News, saying in part:
"The expansion of casino gambling will victimize the poor and encourage an addiction that can destroy families.in view of the potential harm to the common good and to a portion of our community, this expansion should be resisted."

July 1, 2010
This week's hero, Tracy Fewell, was born with Cerebral Palsy, and was told by doctors he would spend his life in a wheelchair. Nowadays, you can find Fewell on the grounds of the University of Virginia, but if you're looking for him in a wheelchair, you won't find him.
Instead, he chooses a faster set of wheels as a drag racer.
Monday through Friday, Fewell scales the stairs at UVa's Alderman Library to go to work. He met Sue Hildebrand while at UVa and shared with her stories of his disorder and his dream of becoming a drag racer.
"I didn't expect it, but I was sort of surprised that he just kid of steps out of the box. I was excited to see that he would do that, that he didn't let his disability impair him from what he wanted to do," said Hildebrand, a friend.
While Fewell may be slow on foot, he's topped speeds of 130 MPH on wheels. He described the first time he got behind the wheel of a drag racing car as the day he felt normal.
"Fun! That day I felt normal. That makes me feel normal. I don't have [any] doubts, nothing," said Fewell.
Fewell bought his own drag racing car in the early 90's, building it up while building his own confidence. Years later, he started a racing team called "Fewell's Racing" to promote awareness for Cerebral Palsy.
"You do whatever you want to. All you have to do is put your mind to it. Just because you have a disability doesn't mean you can't do what you want to do if you have the heart for it," said Fewell.
Fewell's new dream is to find a sponsor and run in a minor league drag racing circuit, but even more than than, he's hoping to get married to his girlfriend who lives with Multiple Sclerosis.

Formula One racecar driver Sebastian Vettel is diversifying his resume by becoming the Director of Performance for Infiniti, and it also sounds like his rival Lewis Hamilton is also dabbling in some extracurriculars. According to Yahoo!, the 28-year-old Hamilton has apparently been stealing away time in a recording studio to record his own pop music album over the last year. The report, which quotes singer/songwriter Angel, indicates that Hamilton might have a second career waiting for him after racing.
So far, Hamilton and Angel have written about 12 songs across various music genres, and another interesting element to his involvement in the music industry is that his girlfriend, Nicole Scherzinger (above), is the lead singer for the Pussycat Dolls as well as a former judge for the reality singing contest, X-Factor. For those who are interested, it doesn't sound like he's ready to put out an album just yet. For the moment, it appears Hamilton's duties in Austin, Texas will be limited to lapping the Circuit of the Americas rather than the performing on the local music scene.
Us? We're just hoping for an eventual duet with fellow F1 racer and musical hopeful Jacques Villeneuve. Yeah, we went there. In the meantime, we'll have to keep hope alive by watching Hamilton and friends sing Wonderwall by Oasis in one of the videos below.

I think that conspiracy theorists are being handed a golden opportunity to spread misinformation and doubt about the recent events in Afghanistan [those that are so inclined]
Question: Was Osama Bin Laden actually killed in the attack?
The Conspiracy theorists' replies:
- No because we haven't seen a body [buried at sea: Why?]
- The death picture proves nothing except that someone in the American military can use photoshop:
Link: Note: Depicts a face mutilated fire/explosion: Osama Bin Laden Death Picture
Left: Osama Bin Laden [well know picture], Centre: Death picture, Right: The two pictures superimposed.
For my part I am not saying that I would agree with conspiracy theories [I find them annoying and generally ill informed] but I can see a new rash of these theories popping up following these events.

In our company we allow employees to continue being on leave even after they exhaust their FMLA. They go on STD after 5 business days and LTD after 6 months. If they cannot return to work after 1 year they are terminated. (For pregnancies it is the usual 12 weeks max). So in this case they could take time off to have their baby (even if FMLA was exhausted) but they have to return per DOctor's orders. IF they want more time off to bond with baby that is up to the SUpervisor's discretion (depening on business conditions) and NO PAY.
Posted by evabraham
Your company sounds like more the exception than the rule, but I could be wrong; there may be a number of companies that offer a similar leave policy.
My guess would be that your company's leave policy predates FMLA and one of the provisions of FMLA is that a company could not use FMLA as the basis for rolling back existing leave policies. I am also guessing that your company has a significant number of employees and therefore there are more employees available to backfill positions that are vacant for up to one year.

Bishop Michael Carter, who turned his life around from crime to help others, dies
By MARK BROWN email@example.com November 14, 2011 8:06PM
Updated: December 16, 2011 8:23AM
Bishop Michael Carter was laid to rest with a 21-gun salute the weekend before last at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in recognition of his service in the Navy during the Vietnam era.
Carter would have been the first to tell you there was a time after he got out of the Navy that it was far more likely he'd end up with 21 bullets lodged in his torso than fired into the air in his honor.
Back then Carter made his living as a stickup man on the streets of Chicago, his particular specialty being the robbing of drug dealers — an occupation for someone destined for an early violent death.
Instead, Carter died Oct. 29 of pancreatic cancer at age 63, an end that was by no means a picnic, but an honorable civilian's death just the same for a man who not only turned around his own life but dedicated himself to helping others do the same.
I wrote a couple of columns about Carter in recent years after being introduced by one of his biggest fans, former Cook County Jail Warden C. Richard English.
English once thwarted an escape attempt at the jail by a teenage Carter — came close to shooting him by his own account — only decades later to arrange for Carter to preside over his granddaughter's wedding.
English is a no-nonsense, head-busting, law-and-order type, but he also is a believer we have to do what we can to make it possible for criminals to redeem themselves if we really want to stop the killing in our neighborhoods.
And English says Carter earned his redemption.
"I don't know anyone who did more for society than the Bishop did," English said. "He's given more to society than I have."
Carter was in prison when he got religion — rediscovered it more to the point considering he'd been schooled as a boy at Holy Angels Elementary and Holy Cross High schools.
When he got out of prison at age 33 after three stints behind bars totaling nine years, he decided to follow in the footsteps of Mother Consuella York, whose ministry at the Cook County Jail made a breakthrough with him and many others.
Carter made it his own purpose to go into the jails and the prisons to tell his story.
Beyond that, he did everything he could to help the men once they were released — finding them a place to stay, counseling them through their dark moments and teaching them legitimate hustles to make money just as he had, such as going door-to-door to beauty shops to sell women's apparel or selling Krispy Kreme donuts.
"He really loved the men, and he was trying to give them a sense of self-worth," said his wife, Geri, who met him shortly after he got out of prison and no doubt kept him on the straight and narrow.
For a while, Carter operated a pair of privately financed halfway houses, and when necessary, took men into his own home to keep them from returning to a life of crime.
Along with Geri, Carter founded the Mighty God Tabernacle and a small private school, REACH Christian Academy, both now located at 74th and Michigan.
For all Carter's work with ex-offenders, English believes it was his work with the school that may have been his biggest contribution to his community by helping young people steer a straight course.
Just one year ago, Carter hosted a memorial service for Mother York, who died in 1995 but remains an almost mythic figure in the ex-offender community.
One of the men I met there that night was Charles Edward Bey, once a prolific hit man for the Blackstone Rangers and El Rukn street gangs though never convicted of a single murder.
Along with Mother York, Carter was considered to be one of the most important influences in getting Bey out of the gang life — and to stop killing people.
Carter once intimated to me that he had counseled many men like Bey with murder in their backgrounds — though he was careful not to betray their confidences.
Michael Carter lost his way, found it again and made a difference with his life. Knowing him, he would only hope this little nod of recognition would help somebody else realize it's not too late to find their own way.

Who said causal can't be a little fancy? | Ring: Charming Charlie's | Bracelet: Bauble Bar

DEFINITION of 'Combined Ratio'
A measure of profitability used by an insurance company to indicate how well it is performing in its daily operations. A ratio below 100% indicates that the company is making underwriting profit while a ratio above 100% means that it is paying out more money in claims that it is receiving from premiums.
The combined ratio is comprised of the claims ratio and the expense ratio. The claims ratio is claims owed as a percentage of revenue earned from premiums. The expense ratio is operating costs as a percentage of revenue earned from premiums. The combined ratio is calculated by taking the sum of incurred losses and expenses and then dividing them by earned premium.
Calculated as:
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Combined Ratio'
Even if the combined ratio is above of 100%, a company can potentially still make a profit, because the ratio does not include the income received from investments.
Many insurance companies believe that this is the best way to measure the success of a company because it does not include investment income and therefore only includes profit that is earned through efficient management.

« Back To Eat Right Weekly - December 21
The Middle Class Tax Relief and Jobs creation Act of 2011—the tax extender package aiming to extend unemployment benefits, the Social Security payroll deduction and the controversial "doc" fix-passed the House Tuesday night with $8 billion in cuts to the Prevention and Public Health Fund. These cuts pose a serious threat to the goal of improving health through effective preventative programs.
Some good news from the Senate occurred Wednesday afternoon when Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) made a statement rejecting the House package by demanding the Senate Democrats first pass a $1 trillion megabus spending bill.
The ADA partnered with the Campaign to End Obesity on December 15 for a day-long lobby day aimed at visiting over 65 members of the House and Senate to advocate on the proven and necessary benefits of the Fund, and to urge the Senate to not pass the House's package.
In an optimistic turn of events the American College of Preventative Medicine – which is generally a large supporter of the "doc" fix – came out with a letter on December 13 rejecting the House's attempt to gut the Prevention Fund by $8 billion. Read the full release here.
Larry Cohen, the executive director of the Prevention Institute, penned a strong blog entry in the Hill earlier this week entitled Docs Won't Benefit From Prevention Cuts. He is quoted as saying: "We must address the rates that Medicare pays doctors, but doing so by raiding the prevention fund is a short-sighted solution that will cost money, not save it."

Beautifully written but very sappy spin on "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (the Fitzgerald short story not the movie) with added love triangle and lots of San Francisco history.

About koredozo
Hi. I'm DOZO, but that handle was lost forever in a tragic verification e-mail accident. I'm a professional failure at amateur game development. Let's see if Ludum Dare can change that.
koredozo's Trophies
koredozo's Archive
Things I can't handle:
- Creative game ideas
- Art
- Math, and therefore physics
- Focusing
- Recording music off a PC98 emulator (y u no play individual .M files, hoot?)
And just for a teensy bit of positivity, things I can handle:
- Unity
- Unity 4.6's sexy new UI system
Definitely jammin' next LD I enter. I figured I'd go for the easy idea that didn't require real art and try the compo one last time, but it isn't worth the extra prestige when my game isn't fun.
30 minutes before submission hour as I'm trying to do last minute tweaks to my game is not a good time for you to call and insist on chatting.
The Final Frontier
So, after an all-nighter and overall way too much time and effort considering it's just a fancy version of Dope Wars, the game is playable. It was two hours ago actually, but I took a much needed break.
What next? Music? Add some more features to try and make it actually fun? Just submit it and go to sleep? I'll take a shot at the former, it seems like the most sure thing, then maybe the features. Sleep can wait when I've already come this far.
Great Glittering Galaxies
So I was busy this afternoon, but managed to sneak in the following accomplishments here and there:
- Markov chain-based name generator for stars
- More interesting looking planets of various types
- Hovering mouse over a star displays some info on it
Now for the gameplay. I keep saying that and it keeps not happening, but I had a better reason this time. Not much time left so I need to make good on it.
The Stars My Destination
I coded a BSP subdivider to create a galaxy full of stars, in three dimensions rather than two to make things a little different from the average indie space game.
Then I got caught up in aesthetics for the rest of the night just like I said I wouldn't, and it was a waste of time for the most part; my stars still look more like gas giants than stars. I really need to quit doing that during LDs. There isn't enough time for it.
I made myself a serviceable skybox in Spacescape without it consuming too much time, at least.
(Loosely) Connected Worlds
So I decided that this LD, I'd rather try to make a relatively fun and polished game that I can be proud of than spend all Friday trying to be original or clever with the theme, and end up with something that might require a lot of work. Thus, I'm going to be working on Wealth of Stations, a space trading game as I'm sure many others are already doing. (Not even the title is clever.)
The silver lining of this is that since only programmer art is necessary for a game like this, I can aim to have it done in time for the compo. I think it'll also be relatively simple to design and program, though I may regret that attitude.
I've spent the past few hours setting up my tools and creating a star and an Earthlike planet that orbits around it. They aren't gorgeous, but you're usually going to be seeing them at a much smaller zoom, so they'll do the job.
Now it's time to put together the game before I focus any more on aesthetics.
I'm in… maybe
Mmh, not exactly thrilled with the theme. I'm gonna have to think about it for a while. I don't want to just make an LttP or Quantum Conundrum look-and/or-play-alike.
If I enter, I'm probably going straight for the jam this time because I hate creating art and would rather use someone else's. Even though I have work on Monday and won't be able to do anything for most of it.
So I was putting the finishing touches on the chess rules, when I discovered that the king could 'escape' from checks by pieces like rooks by moving away from the rook (because the king's previous position blocked its new one from being threatened.) Attempting to fix this bug introduced a bevy of new glitches whose causes are eluding me. All in all, I don't feel like missing sleep over it or trying to salvage things in the six or so hours I'm likely to spend awake before the deadline tomorrow.
There's also no way I would have time to add an AI, so you might as well find a friend to play Ridiculous Chess with.
I blame my ongoing illness for my failure, so I'm not ashamed of it and I think I did alright for the 24 hours I was actually able to spend working on my game. I might revisit this project later when I've gotten over the cough, or maybe do a private 48 hour jam of my very own (I'm gonna need to think of something else to submit to 1GAM.)
Fool's mate
Almost all of the game logic is in place, except for the more complex rules of chess like en passant captures, castling, and pawn promotion. Those probably aren't going to be implemented.
I'm not sure 20 hours is long enough to implement an AI either. Progress is being made, at least, and I should have something playable by the end of the jam.
King's pawn
I finally started to feel decent enough to really get to work fairly late at night, so in what is probably an inadvisable move, I've decided to pull an all-nighter to make up for lost time.
Here you see the opening of the game, with Black ready to move. (I decided to make the player play as Black because the AI probably needs the minor advantage, plus having it move first might help the player acclimate to the mouse controls. Also made some other minor visual tweaks.)
I'm glad I entered the Jam or I could probably write this off as a failure for reasons beyond my control; as is it still has a chance of getting finished.
Slow progress
What else is new?
This time though, it's because I've had some kind of respiratory complaint for the past month and it saw fit to remind me of its presence today. I spent most of the past 24 hours in bed or not in an ideal state to work on a game, and got pretty much no concrete work done up until an hour ago. As of now, though, I have a serviceable chessboard and data structure for representing it.
The bright side is that I have a pretty clear idea of how to proceed from here, both in design and implementation terms, which I think puts me at an advantage over my past LDs. I'll just have to hope the malaise doesn't flare up again.
Oh, I'm also renaming my game Psychic Speed Chess. It alliterates a little better and I have some fun stylistic ideas, though I'm going to make sure the game is fully playable before I start trying to make it snazzy.
So what's cooking?
First things first: Despite working on my own, I'm doing the Jam, not the Compo. I'd just much rather make use of all the nice stuff one can find on OpenGameArt than spend hours coming up with my own shoddy placeholders. I might still compose my own music, since I like to think I'm pretty decent at that, but I'll leave that until last and only do it if I have enough time.
Also, I already have an idea, and a descriptive title for it: Telepath Speed Chess. You can probably guess that this means each chess player has ten seconds to move. The interesting part is going to be coding an AI that thinks 'slowly' to put the human player on a fair footing; Telepath refers to the fact that the game will display insights into the AI's thought process.
I'm not sure that was the clearest of descriptions, but you'll see soon enough. I'm also not sure if this game will be all that fun, but well, I won't know until I try it. Time to get to work!

|I use drawing as a very accessible, flexible and direct way of making artwork.
In theory you can use a burnt stick or other basic item to create marks; I tend to use black oil pastels of various colours and sizes as they give me an immediate strong line, which is almost impossible to rub-out. So once I make a mark I'm committed to it.
My work has often been described as urban and visually strong. I've been influenced by comic books, pop art, Van Gogh and urban signage.

15th – 18th August, 2014. (Solo show). Franfrantou. Weserstrasse 53, 12045 Berlin. This show presented an opportunity to develop my work in a tight time window of just two weeks. I focused on working quickly, which helped maintain a fresh feel to the final pieces. Artwork on show: Setting up 'A slice of life' exhibition
Tutu drawings
There's a common custom in Berlin, to leave unwanted items that might be useful to other people, in a cardboard box outside your house. In this way I acquired a child's tutu dress. The exhibition 'A slice of life' at Franfrantou focused on ideas of mortality. As the drawings float and dance they conjure feelings […]

Knife rain drawings in Berlin.
These are drawings of 9 different knives in 6 different colours. The knives were drawn turning to produce drawings from different angles. The drawings were cut-out on cardboard and secured to the wall to create a rain of knives, albeit made beautiful by a rainbow of colour.
