Week in Review
Chevira v. Lezonia
A critically ill woman experiencing a septic miscarriage filed suit against the ED physicians who treated her, alleging they did not timely evaluate and treat her sepsis before it progressed to septic shock. The defendants challenged the adequacy of an OB/GYN's expert report on the basis that he was not qualified to opine on the practice of Emergency Medicine. The Dallas appellate court found the OB/GYN's experience treating pregnant women with similar complications qualified him to opine on the standard of care.
Sadler Clinic Association v. Hart
Physicians under contract with a clinic filed suit to have their non-compete clauses declared unenforceable. The trial court held that the covenants were not enforceable on the basis that they did not include a reasonable buyout provision. The Beaumont appellate court reversed, noting that if the buyout provisions were not adequate the proper remedy is to submit to binding arbitration to determine a reasonable buyout price.
Novamed Surgery Center of Tyler v. Bochow
Two physicians under contract with an ambulatory surgery center filed suit to have their non-compete clauses declared unenforceable on the basis that they did not include buyout provisions as required by state law. The trial court declared the agreement unenforceable. On appeal the center argued that the state statute requiring buyout provisions to be included in non-compete agreements with physicians was inapplicable because the agreements related to ownership interests in surgery centers and did not restrict the practice of medicine. The Tyler appellate court held that the 2001 statute at issue applied to the agreements and that under the plain language of the statute the agreements were required to include buyout provisions to be enforceable.
Women's Clinic of Southeast Texas v. Alonzo
A patient who filed suit against a woman's clinic later amended her claim to include a theory of vicarious liability. The defendant clinic objected to the expert report associated with the direct liability claims and the direct liability claim was subsequently dismissed on appeal. The defendant clinic later objected to the lack of an expert report addressing the patient's vicarious liability claims. The Corpus Christi appellate court held that because the defendant clinic did not raise its objections to the vicarious liability claims during its earlier appeal it had waived its opportunity to challenge these claims.
San Jacinto Methodist Hospital v. McCoy
A patient who underwent a partial appendectomy sued the surgeon who performed the procedure and the hospital, alleging its nurse should have informed the surgeon that he had only removed a portion of the patient's appendix. The hospital sought dismissal on the basis that the standard of care described by the plaintiff's expert would require that the nurse engage in the unauthorized practice of medicine. The Houston appellate court found the report adequate and concluded that the standard of care described by plaintiff's expert did not necessarily constitute the unauthorized practice of medicine.
Texas Children's Hospital to Open Pediatric Kidney Stone Clinic
Texas Children's Hospital has announced plans to open the state's first pediatric kidney stone clinic. The clinic will include a pediatric urologist, pediatric nephrologist, and a registered renal dietician who will work together to evaluate patients who either have kidney stones or are at risk for developing stones.
James T. Hackett named chair at Baylor College of Medicine
The Baylor College of Medicine Board of Trustees has named businessman James T. Hackett as its chair. Mr. Hackett is retiring from Andarko Petroleum Corp, where he has chaired the board and worked as CEO.
Houston Hospitals Score Well in US News & World Report Rankings
US News & World Report ranked Texas Children's Hospital fourth in its list of Best Children's Hospitals. The hospital was also ranked number 3 nationwide in the Cardiology and Heart Surgery specialty and for Pulmonology.
The magazine also ranked The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center first in its list of Best Cancer Hospitals and TIRR Memorial Hermann at number 3 on its list of Rehabilitation Hospitals.
Medical Board Considers Stem Cell Rules
The Texas Medical Board has met to discuss guidelines for the state's adult stem cell industry. The proposed rules would include safeguards for patients, such as informed consent forms that discuss what treatments patients are receiving and a requirement to establish internal review boards that could deny a physicians' proposed use of stem cells.
Study Finds Doctors Falling Short of Standards for Electronic Health Records
Fewer than one in 10 doctors used electronic health records in accordance with US standards for "meaningful use," a list of tasks that includes tracking referrals and filling prescriptions online.
Justices Strike Down Gene Patents
The Supreme Court has unanimously held that human genes cannot be patented, even when isolated from the body. The case involved two genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, that can be examined to determine if a patient faces a significant likelihood of developing breast and ovarian cancer. The ruling is expected to lower the cost of this screening test as other health providers begin to offer it.
Study Finds Patients' Feelings Toward Obese Doctors are Mixed
Patients are more likely to trust overweight doctors when discussing diet advice, but they are also more likely to feel that an obese physician is judging them about their weight, according to a recent study. The study's author noted that most doctors are not trained in weight loss counseling and tend to avoid discussing the subject with their patients and overweight physicians often feel less confident discussing diet and exercise.

Kelly & Lee's New Addition: Sneak Peek
After giving birth to her fourth child a couple of weeks ago Kelly received gift vouchers from sisters Karly and Kirsty. So last weekend I headed to Gravesend to meet Kelly, Lee and their lovely family.
Their two daughters and two sons are beautiful and a real pleasure to photograph. I almost couldn't stop! They were receptive to my suggestions which made my job surprisingly easy.
As Kelly and Lee are passionate about their photographs, they already knew what they wanted from their end product. This is really useful information to have in mind when capturing precious photographs for families to keep for a lifetime.
Lee expressed a desire to have black and white head-shots of each child so that he could display them on square canvases along the hallway. So that's exactly what I produced for him…
Along with some images of the girls that had that 'model treatment' applied to them 😉
This little boy, what a Sweetie Pie. He loved being in front of the camera. Who wouldn't when you're this gorgeous; stunning eyes and adorable smile. 🙂 Just look at those curls!
They also wanted the majority of the shoot to central around their new arrival. Isn't he a cutie??
I really had trouble choosing my favourites for this blog. Which ones are your favourites?
When their online gallery goes live in a couple of weeks you'll be able to see why I struggled to choose.
Why not pop over to our Facebook page to make sure you don't miss announcements regarding Kelly and Lee's photographs.

I could go on and on and on and on, but I will save you the lengthy preface, body, and eulogy and get right to the meat. One tangent I stumbled upon today dealt with the stock market. My blog does deal with success and finance after all. However, a post was made on Reddit about how you could take 9 randomly generated stock charts and a real one, throw them in a pile, and you would not be able to tell the difference or find the true stock chart. This then lead me to hunt in Wikipedia and soon after I found the Turing Test, and then I found ELIZA, and then I found the script for ELIZA. The Turing Test is a set of philosophical questions to determine whether or not machines or artificially intelligent programs can think like human beings. ELIZA was a program developed in the 1960s by a psychologist named George Bernard Shaw, and the gist of the program was: a psychiatric patient was to communicate via text to this program, and based on keywords that the person gave, the program would generate a response. Almost all of the patients who were diagnosed by ELIZA believed there was a real human on the backend of the responses. When they were told it was a program, they simply refused to believe the conductors of the experiment. The philosophical implications can be discussed here for many, many posts, but I will save you the headache and present you with this question. Many of us work professions and jobs and can all relate to the term, "unconsciously proficient". Much like how you can drive a car with ease, there are some areas of your life where you know how to do things with a level of unthinking mastery. What is the difference between someone who is unconsciously proficient and a machine that could automate what you do?
I seriously want you to ponder this.
My response: I believe there is barely any difference, if any between the two. Although humans are more than just machines, we have programming inside of us that gets tweaked, reworked, and perfected. Now let's use the driving example because it is an example we can all relate to. I believe few things in this universe are truly and wholly perfect. Let's say you can program a machine to engage the accelerator pedal at the "perfect" time or press the breaks with the "perfect" amount of force, it would still be an imperfect mechanism. However, in order to drive, you do not need to drive exactly at 65 mph on the highway, or break at an exact time before every red light. You just need to get to your destination. The programming that you use when you drive is not a perfect system. I don't believe there is one; even for our theoretical self-driving machine. The process we use is not perfect, but modular, and I would argue that we reach a level of "perfection" that suites our purpose. Once this level is reached, I do not believe there is any difference, if any between an unconsciously proficient process and an automated machine.

SAN BRUNO (AP) – A gas pipeline that ruptured and caused the deadly San Bruno explosion showed no signs of corrosion and wasn't dented or leaking, federal accident investigators said Tuesday.
The National Transportation Safety Board has yet to determine what caused the transmission line to rupture on Sept. 9, killing eight people and destroying dozens of homes.
KCBS' Holly Quan Reports:
Investigators found no physical evidence of a pre-existing leak in the pipe pieces, nor did they see dents or gouges suggesting that someone struck the pipe with excavation equipment.
But the report did confirm that the 30-inch pipe was riddled with welding seams, in contrast to previous claims by the ruptured pipeline's operator, Pacific Gas & Electric, that the pipe was seamless.
"They didn't know what they had under the ground in this location," Rep. Jackie Speier, a California Democrat who represents the San Bruno area, said at a news conference Tuesday. "It troubles me greatly and I think this is one of the issues we have to address swiftly."
Speier said she planned to ask federal pipeline safety regulators to probe whether it was legal for PG&E to have inspected the 1956 pipeline without using the most high-tech methods available, such as sending a robot into the pipe.
Company officials have acknowledged that the utility has yet to fully inspect all its high-risk gas lines coursing through the most densely populated regions of the state.
The explosion and ensuing inferno torched nearly 15 acres of 1960s-era suburban homes in the hills overlooking the San Francisco Bay. Dozens of people were injured in the blast, and some victims are still in hospital burn units.
PG&E called the pipe "high-risk" in 2007 and received permission from the California Public Utilities Commission to bill ratepayers to upgrade the pipeline. But they dropped the improvement plans the next year.
The NTSB also is investigating why it took PG&E crews nearly 90 minutes to deploy manual valves to stop the flow of gas into San Bruno the night of the explosion. NTSB findings issued thus far are preliminary and a final report is not likely to come out for months, Speier said.
"This report is a snapshot in time, but we don't have a cause yet," San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane said Tuesday. "It's going to take a lot longer to rebuild our community."
(© 2010 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. The Associated Press contributed to this report.)
I think it's interesting how close to the San Andreas Faultline this pipe is located. Could not just movement of the earth over time possibly weaken the structure of this pipe depending on how it is in relation to the fault?
The explosion and ensuing inferno torched nearly 15 acres of 1960s-era suburban homes in the hills overlooking the San Francisco Bay. Dozens of people were injured in the blast, and some victims are still in hospital burn units.
YOUR REPORTING IS GROSSLY INACCURATE. People died in the Blast.

Minuit Une's demo in London
Minuit Une organized this demo in London on the 9th and 10th of May to meet light designers, rental companies and media in the UK.
The British market is one of the most dynamic in Europe and we are frequently receiving requests from there. That is why we decided to cross the Channel. For this event, we used a very charming old-fashioned concert hall, The Coronet Theatre, which was the perfect space to showcase the variety of possibilities our product has to offer.
On stage, the light design conceived by Aurélien Linz and Nicolas Lemaire, was created with 11 M-Carré and 5 M-Pyramide by Minuit-Une along with 8 Martin Mac Viper, 8 Robe Pointes and 6 Clay Paky B-Eye K-20. Our goal was to demonstrate the very innovative and powerful effects of our technology but also to show the way this « new light » can take place in a complete scenography including different kinds of moving heads.
More than 30 lighting designers from different sectors (events, clubs, live shows, TV) discovered our products for the first time « In Real Life ». It was amazing for us because we had really, really good feedbacks from the people who came. We can now say that some concrete projects are currently in discussion.

Take my word…this will be the best season of Survivor evah!
Here's my take.
Watch for the Heroes to become flat out Villians. Led by JT, Stephanie (when did she turn out to be such a jerk!) and Colby (when did he turn out to be such a jerk! How dare diss my siss!), and prodded on by Cirie and Amanda, these NeoVillians will make Boston Rob, Russell, and Coach look like smitten school girls!
Oops. After what went on between Coach and Jerri, he already does look smitten!
Anyhow…Mark my words here: What we're seeing is the Ultimate Survivor Blindside. You'll see what I mean as the season progresses.
I've always admired Rob…he's so honest (to a fault) and he really loves Amber. But that farmer's tan from the wife beater had me lol'ing!
I've made no secret of my dislike for Russell. In fact, Samoa was (imo) the least effective of all seasons. Only because it was All Russell All The Time! Now with Russell intermingled with the other (for now) Villians, he's a lot more palatable. And…once again I giggled at him being starstruck by his fellow meanies.
James. James. James! Definitely has the physical ability to smack down Russell. Let's hope he's got the mental ability.
Parvati, Amanda, Sandra, Colleen, Tom, Randy, and yes…Rupert…bit players
And who was it that said the biggest threat was those who "talk, talk, talk"? So true…
Finally…poor Sugar. Of course, I knew the outcome, but it was still upsetting. She's so sweet and wears her heart on her shoulders you just want to hug her (IASHW)*

Relatives and Histories
Relatives and Histories
This book examines family memoirs, also called "multigenerational" or "intergenerational auto/biographies," as a form of life writing among Asian Americans. Drawing on Asian American family memoirs written between 1980 and 2001, it investigates the intersection between the discourse, practice, and social function of life writing, history, and ethnic identity. More specifically, it considers the ways in which family memoirs expand the boundaries and function of life writing as they reexamine history and build community for oneself and one's ethnic group. The book also explores how and why Asian American writers select or develop particular auto/biographical forms to address specific concerns. It discusses the family memoir as a subgenre of auto/biography and locates its practice in current creative and critical debates. Finally, it analyzes family memoirs as a form of historical mediation for Asian Americans and the development of collective memory through these texts. It shows that the family memoir promotes a poetics of generational progression in which the writers engage the specificities of history and location for their relatives.
Keywords: family memoirs, autobiographies, life writing, Asian Americans, ethnic identity, collective memory, historical mediation, relatives

Question about Hoover Nextra HNT 2135 Top Load Washer
Can I remove the agitator on a 900 model so I can remove the button?. I am afraid it harm the pump or the motor
Posted by sandyknolls on
Most top loader machines have some sort of fastener in the center at the top of the agitator. You should look right at it when you open the lid. Once you figure out how you remove the fastener, the agitator should pull straight up. It is usually connected by a spline. You may have to pull pretty hard if it has never been apart. Once the agitator pulls out, you should be able to see the debris you are looking for.
I am not familiar with your exact machine, but yours should be similar. Hope this helps.

The Sea of Monsters [1]/ Rick Riordan
Camp Half-Blood is in trouble. Its magical boundary has been weakened with poison and uninvited monsters are starting to get in. Not only that. Percy's friend Grover the satyr has been captured and is being held by a monster who wants to marry him. It turns out that the solution to both problems is the same. All Percy and his friends have to do is sail across the Sea of Monsters, also now known as the Bermuda Triangle and rescue Grover and the Golden Fleece. Unfortunately seas full of monsters, old enemies and titans are not all that easy to cross.
Rick Riordan's series about Percy Jackson & the Olympians, which starts with The Lightning Thief [2], is an exciting mix of fantasy fiction and classical mythology. If you enjoy the series, here's the start of another one that you may enjoy:
[3] Pandora Gets Jealous [4] / Carolyn Hennesy
In ancient Athens, Pandora, the thirteen-year-old daughter of the titan Prometheus, and her friends Alice and Iole have to bring in something special for tomorrow's big school project, "The Enduring Presence of the Gods in Our Daily Life." Pandy thought about bringing in a piece of her dad's liver again, until the other girls begged her not to. But chasing her little brother around at home she discovers an odd metal case with a small bronze lock and inside that a smaller wooden box: old but smooth with only a wax seal keeping closed, the great seal of Zeus. A box containing all the misery in the world, with the seal of Zeus— surely this will get her an alpha on her project!
And you might also like to try some modern versions of the original myths:
[5] Greek Myths [6] / retold by Ann Turnbull ; illustrated by Sarah Young
This is a fresh retelling of stories from classical Greek mythology, using early versions of the myths. Trumbull tells, "a mixture of nature myths, hero tales, and stories of the struggles between gods and mortals. Instead of the usual arrangement by theme, she groups all the stories about a single character together,
[7] Adventures of the Greek heroes [8] / Mollie McLean & Anne Wiseman; illustrated by Witold T. Mars
This well written simple text retelling of the adventures of Hercules, Perseus, Theseus, Orpheaus, Meleager, and the Argonauts makes classical mythology accessible to beginning readers who are up to the challenge of a longer than average chapter book. It includes an index and pronunciation of names.
And here's a monstrous bonus book:
[9] The Cyclopes [10]/ Russell Roberts
This is a short, very informative and colorfully illustrated book about the one-eyed monsters of classical mythology. Roberts retells the encounter of Polyphemus with Odysseus and his crew from the Odyssey and the giant's frustrated love for the nymph Galatea from the Metamorphoses. He also tells of other cyclopes that aided Zeus and Hephaestus.

This I hold for the art of writing. I absolutely adore written word and am swept off my feet by phenomenal phrasing. This has potentially been a terrible trait, as I have been miserably distracted and dangerously misguided.
I am determined to press myself beyond the end. College, as it winds down, has left me with a lot of guidance in determining my future and for this I am thankful. However, there have been setbacks- but nothing that will dominate or imprison me! Because, Jesus warned,
"The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of Scriptures. So practice and obey whatever they say to you, but don't follow their example. For they don't practice what they teach. They crush you with impossible religious demands and never lift a finger to help ease the burden."
-Matthew 23: 2-4
Christ came to this Earth to set us FREE, because we are in absolute bondage to sin and God WON'T accept it. Therefore, it is imperative for Christ to become our mediator! (I plan to do a whole other post revolving around the biblical concept of a mediator and how Jesus was predicted all over the Old Testament in the future… but I realize that this is terribly ambitious.)
But staying on the topic of Christ being freedom, I have this-
" Stand fast… in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."
– Galatians 5:1
Meditating on this scripture, it becomes grievously clear that I have fallen victim to a Pharisee-like figure. I was nearly crushed- but God rescued me, saved me from the destructive clutches of the Enemy- and for this I am forever thankful!
I rest in the promise that God has the absolute best in store for me. He is ultimately wise and GOOD. And I want to only look forward at what He has set out ahead of me.
Enjoy your evening.
Write something great.

Today, the Museum of Modern Art boasts many pieces of artwork chosen by Paola Antonelli, ranging from paintings, pictures, replicas, statues, objects, etc. The Museum of Modern Art boasts a great range of these many contemporary pieces of art that can be questionable, but something even more controversial that is exhibited in the MoMA today is video games. The MoMA boasts many video games to its collection today including Minecraft, Flow, Katamari Damacy, Eve Online, The Sims, Street Fighter II, and other many various video games. But, as we look at these various video games that have been placed in the MoMA for a reason relating to art, what exactly made Paola Antonelli welcome video games into the MoMA, and at that, why these specific video games? With the new release of another game in one of my favorite RPG series, Persona, I decided to look at a game in the series that I was much more well versed in that could be possibly put into the MoMA by Antonelli's criteria. So, today, I elaborate on why Persona 4 Golden should be put into the Museum of Modern Art.
A Background on the Persona Series & Persona 4 Golden:
The Persona (its named inspired by Jungian Psychology) franchise is a series of Japanese role playing video games that were mainly developed and published by the company Atlus, with the series originally coming off as a spin-off from another franchise developed by Atlus, the Megami Tensei series. It's very first release was in 1996, with its first title in the west "Revelations: Persona." Notable characteristics of the Persona series are a high school setting, students as the protagonists, a silent main protagonist, the usage of mental manifestations in a physical form called "Personas," and the game play mechanic of "Social Links," where Personas strengthen based on how strong your bonds are with other characters in the game. Today, the Persona series is highly popular internationally, establishing Atlus and the Megami Tensei franchise in North America, and even gaining numerous work adaptions including anime television, theatrical series, novelizations, manga, and even stage plays.
Persona 4 Golden is currently Atlus' remake of the second to last released video game in the series, Persona 4, and was released in 2012 for the west on the PSVita. In addition to the game's original assets and mechanics, two new social links, new difficulties, new soundtracks, and much more enhanced content was released with the remake. Persona 4 takes places in the rural countryside Japanese town of Inaba, where a set of mysterious unexplained murders take place. In the story, you follow along and play as the protagonist named after you, who has just moved into this countryside town from the city to attend school. While residing in the town the protagonist finds himself to become unexplainably tangled within the murderer hiding within the town, and eventually finding the unnatural presence of a place called the "Shadow World," with his new friends. The game then continues with the group of friends saving innocent people thrown into this dangerous world by this murderer. With their new-found power of Personas after entering this world, and a thirst for justice, the group sets out to foil the murderer's plan by preventing these people from dying in this Shadow World, and attempting to figure out his identity to stop them for good.
Why Persona 4 Golden makes the cut for the MoMA:
When a video game was first introduced to the Museum of Modern Art, many thought it absurd and ludicrous that a media form as low as it was put into the MoMA for all its visitors to observe and interact with. However, upon closer inspection the concept of video games today and how they represent many things, one can argue that certain video games can fit the criteria for the MoMA, and in turn allow many video game works to be admitted.
Paola Antonelli used four criteria to determine if a game was to be in the MoMA:
1) Behavior
The scenarios, rules, stimuli, incentives, and narratives envisioned by the designers come alive in the behaviors they encourage and elicit from the players, whether individual or social. A purposefully designed video game can be used to train and educate, to induce emotions, to test new experiences, or to question the way things are and envision how they might be. Game controllers are extensions and enablers of behaviors, providing in some cases (i.e. Marble Madness) an uncanny level of tactility.
There are many emotions that are evoked as you play through the game's main storyline, but Persona 4 takes the emotional level a step beyond by creating its own game play mechanics that involves the socialization between many characters, making the player get a good feel for how these characters personalities truly are through many social events. Persona 4 truly shows how purposefully it was designed to induce emotional experience by creating these many social interactions that the player can choose to do with other characters. Other players even go as far by saying that many of the characters are grounded in reality with their personalities, saying that they can relate to them.
The game play mechanic of "Social Links" help us to create a better emotional attachment to the characters of story, and in turn a better attachment to the game's story. In Persona 4, the Social Link mechanic is a mechanic in the game that is used to increase your strength by increasing your Persona's strength upon fusing new
Personas in the game. As explained previously the Social Link is not only a game play mechanic that increases your strength ultimately, but it also creates a better understanding and bond between many of the other characters in the story. As progressing through these relationships to a max bond, and progressing to the end of the story. There is even emotions that are induced by the ending of the story depending on what ending you resulted in, offering a multitude of emotions as the player reaches the end as well.
2) Aesthetics
Visual intention is an important consideration, especially when it comes to the selection of design for an art museum collection. As in other forms of design, formal elegance has different manifestations that vary according to the technology available. The dry and pixilated grace of early games like M.U.L.E. and Tempest can thus be compared to the fluid seamlessness of flOw and vib-ribbon. Just like in the real world, particularly inventive and innovative designers have excelled at using technology's limitations to enhance a game's identity—for instance in Yars' Revenge.
When it comes to aesthetics, Antonelli judges a video game's aesthetics fairly according the time it was released in, and how advanced the technology was at the time. Persona 4 Golden was released in 2012 on the handheld console PSVita, and showed major improvements to game's lighting, effects, and details, but what's most important that it boasted all of this all within a handheld console's power, as opposed to it being ran on a home video game console. By using this new power found within the handheld console, the world of Persona 4 could not be seen just a bit more detail within the countryside town of Inaba, and at whatever time and place you could play it in. Although it is not a full open world video game, the places that it does provide for viewing pleasure in 3D gives much of a countryside atmosphere as you explore the town's key areas over time.
The whole fictional town of Inaba gains its inspiration from the city of Fuefuki in Japan, with game's beginning scene of the Yasoinaba Train Station getting major inspiration and resemblance from Fuefuki city's Isawa-Onsen Train Station. Many other key locations also gain its inspiration from various other locations within the city of Fuefuki. While exploring and looking around the countryside town of Inaba, most would notice the amount of detail actually put around the town that puts it in its own context. Within the town, there are many signs containing Japanese letters, old looking objects and buildings, and the open background of the mountains that really create the aesthetics of the game, making it actually feel like a rural town in Japan. The environment really can be considered art by Benjamin who states,
"Even the most perfect reproduction of art is lacking in one element: its presence in time and space." (Benjamin 29)
However, how the game's environment exists in time and space are to be explained in the other criteria. In the end, it will be explained how time and space exist in Persona 4, intertwining to consider the game's environment to be art.
But, there is not only art in a sense of the environment created by Persona 4, there is also art hidden within the games many Personas that players see across the game. For the
Persona series, many of the monsters and Personas gain their background from Japanese mythology, with many deities associated with popular stories in their culture. So, with the association of Personas and Japanese mythology, there is art in a sense that is created through meaning and symbolization, and Persona 4 continues to emphasize the culture and art that is contained in its setting that gives us a much more defined aesthetic.
3) Space
The space in which the game exists and evolves—built with code rather than brick and mortar—is an architecture that is planned, designed, and constructed according to a precise program, sometimes pushing technology to its limits in order to create brand new degrees of expressive and spatial freedom. As in reality, this space can be occupied individually or in groups. Unlike physical constructs, however, video games can defy spatial logic and gravity, and provide brand new experiences like teleportation and ubiquity.
The concept of space is highly associated with the explanation of Persona 4's setting in its own establishment of environment, with the Fuefuki inspired city of Inaba. The game takes this even further in establishing its own other key places and creating these locations in the context of a countryside town. In inspiration and fabrication of its own rural locations, Persona 4 establishes a sense of space through the establishment of setting. However, Persona 4 takes this sense of space beyond as a videogame by creating a whole other world that is an alternate reality based on the location that they are in. This world is an alternate reality based on psychologies and personalities of the people who are thrown in. The world contains the immense amount of dangers that are called shadows, which are born from the negative emotions in the reality of their world, and the enemies of shadow selves, which are created by a person's repressed negative emotions. And thus, with the presence of these enemies, this alternate reality world is named the Shadow World. The Shadow World itself conveniently places its location in the town of Inaba by living as an alternate reality world that can be traversed to by entering a television within the town.
4) Time
How long is the experience? Is it a quick five minutes, as in Passage? Or will it entail several painstaking years of bliss, as in Dwarf Fortress? And whose time is it anyway, the real world's or the game's own, as in Animal Crossing? Interaction design is quintessentially dynamic, and the way in which the dimension of time is expressed and incorporated into the game—through linear or multi-level progressions, burning time crushing obstacles and seeking rewards and goals, or simply wasting it—is a crucial design choice.
Time is a recurring theme in Persona 4, as the player only has a certain amount of time set within each day in order to play out certain actions, different times of the day that determines what actions you can do, different patterns of weather throughout the year as the days pass, and even major deadlines that are a part of the game's storyline in order to progress the story further to the end. The actions you choose to do within the game's time can in the end affect your progression of strength, and how quickly the game progresses towards the end.
In our reality, the actual amount of time it takes for the game as an approximate 70 hours. However, within the game's reality, many months pass in order to completely finish the game's story.
Persona 4 Golden meets all of Antonelli's criteria of behavior, aesthetics, space, and time. From the combination of all of these elements in Persona 4 Golden, it creates a unique experience for the player from its unique video game characteristics of "Social Links," and its setting. Today, the Persona series even stands as one of the best role playing video games up to date with its multiple unique aspects through socialization and portrayal of another culture. By meeting these four criteria, Persona 4 can and should also be in the MoMA.

Yesterday, I got to attend the launch party for a new fashion brand in place of my editor who was unable to attend.
Entrepreneurs Melissa Moriarty and Paula Herrera have teamed up with Katie Kime to launch their new exclusive collection, MARIYA.
They premiered their hand-woven fold-over clutch ($128) that was absolutely adorable. I'm sad I forgot to take pictures of it in person.
MARIYA (pronounced "Maria") means yellow in Wayuunaiki, the language spoken by the indigenous Wayuu of La Guajira, Colombia, who handcrafted the collection based on designs created by Moriarty and Paula Herrera. Unfortunately, Paula was not there but Melissa was! I had a great time talking with her about the brand and her inspirations.
Attendees were gifted these wonderful momentos made in the same design as their collection.
The next best thing was I got to tour the Katie Kime store!! IT was absolutely whimsical and my sister and I fell in love with the decor. We may be planning a revisit as soon as we get situated in our new apartment.
I absolutely loved this cutie but alas my college student budget doesn't agree.
Here is a slideshow of my pictures in case you guys wanted a closer look!
Until my next adventure!


text: Finally got my paycheck. I think someone accidentally took it because it was the only one there and folded and I have been looking for it. They are never folded. I just wish they had said something to me about it so I knew where it was. This is just the studio check so it isn't the difference between paying my mortgage and not but it is still a big deal when we get paid monthly. Ugh. Anyway it wasn't lost and I have it now and they usually clear fairly quickly.

This will have to be a short entry. I had planned on playing a song or two on guitar, but ended up playing for two hours and now it's past two in the morning. Good thing my apartment has thick walls!
The big news is that Channel 61 won two out of three games last night! They're our first two wins on the season and we earned them. We also earned our loss in the second game last night, but that's another story. Work is fine, not great but not bad, and the weekend is happily almost upon us again.
I'm researching flights to South America for Mom and I. Looks like the place to fly to is Lima, and the quotes I got back so far are for around $450 roundtrip. Not too bad. From Jessie's emails, it sounds like it will be a great trip!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The North Carolina men's basketball team opened up a 20-point lead on the Wildcats from Villanova in the first half of the two team's second round NCAA Tournament matchup.
But by halftime, the Tar Heels held just an eight point advantage — leading 37-29.
Both teams were a touch sloppy at the onset as they combined for seven turnovers in the first seven minutes. But the Tar Heels were the first team to get settled in and jumped out to a 32-12 lead.
UNC had a lot of success from behind the 3-point line in the early going as P.J Hairston drained two of them and Reggie Bullock, Marcus Paige and Leslie McDonald each made one.
But the Wildcats responded with a 16-5 run to close out the half and did so by making better shot selection and better penetration from the backcourt.

ST. ALBANS — Marilyn M. Berthiaume a lifelong resident, passed away peacefully Wednesday, March 18, 2015, at the Northwestern Medical Center with her family at her side.
Born in St. Albans on Feb. 1, 1928, she was the daughter of the late Francis and Winifred (Carroll) McMahon. Marilyn was 87 years old. On May 19, 1952, at St. Mary's Church she married, Phillip Joseph Berthiaume, who preceded her in death on July 11, 1989.
Marilyn was educated in St. Albans and was a 1937 graduate of St. Mary's High School. She then went on to do bookkeeping for the former St. Albans Hospital and Gladstone Shoe Store. She was an avid sports fan, especially the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Red Sox. She always looked forward to her travels to Maine and Cape Cod with her family, enjoyed watching John Wayne movies and was always interested in the St. Albans Railroad. In her down time, she enjoyed reading, knitting and a good crossword puzzle. Her greatest enjoyment was being with her family and was especially proud of being a great grandmother.
Survivors include her daughters, Jean Carpenter and her companion, Michael Billings, of St. Albans and Barbara Gilbeau and her husband, Brad, of Sheldon; her grandchildren, Kyle Carpenter and his wife, Chelsey, Lindsey Farrar and her husband, Sam, Catherine Carpenter, Sarah Carpenter, James Austin, Jr. and Kayleigh Austin, as well as her great grandchildren, Rosalie Austin and Matthew Carpenter.
Marilyn is also survived by her niece, Elizabeth Boudreau; her nephew and Godson, Peter McMahon, and nephews, Randy Bernard and his wife, Gail, Tim Bernard and John Bernard and his wife, Karen, and several great nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents and husband, Marilyn was preceded in death by her great-granddaughter, Karsyn; brother, Loring 'Pete' McMahon and his wife, Mary Ellen; a niece, Joanne Buckles; and in-laws, Donald and Pat Bernard, Alma and Bernard Devarney and Maxine and Leroy Berthiaume.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend calling hours on Sunday, March 22, 2015, from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Heald Funeral Home, 87 South Main Street.

[Story] The Hermit 11
January 31, 2013 Leave a comment
Nimrathis sipped his last vial of moonglow. Why couldn't they sell it all year? He supposed it wouldn't be so special then, but he loved the flavor and the way the sparkles made his ears tickle. If he wanted more, he'd have to return to Moonglade for the festival. Neither he nor Bear had planned to go at all — in fact the only reason he remembered was when he saw the paper lanterns being hung over the inn. It had been years since he'd attended, before he'd been forced to leave his old home and return to the forest. It had been the two seninels' idea, and they had both put on the expensive silk gowns that were traditionally worn. Seeing them like that was strange, more feminine but also somehow more untouchable — not as if he meant to touch them anyway. Or didn't he? Nimrathis took another small sip of the effervescent blue drink.
Mostly it had gone just as he remembered it; the buildings around the lake adorned with lights and lanterns, the vendors selling fireworks and delicious snacks. When he was a child, there were never any strangers, but now the festival permitted people from all over the world — even the eastern kingdoms. Nimrathis stared in curious wonder at the human woman, and could hardly believe that the gnome was actually a real creature. How could they truly understand what the festival was about — their lives were scarcely a blink of time. Though, Nimrathis reasoned, perhaps they had more ancestors because of this. If the druids didn't mind the strangers, he supposed it was all right. He stayed close behind Bear and Norr, the bear he had brought with him. The others had stayed behind to sleep, Bear said. In truth, Nimrathis would have rather, but once he got some dumplings and moonglow, he was glad that he had come. They sat on the bank of one of the small ponds and waited for the fireworks. Nimrathis hoped they might see a glimpse of Omen, but he didn't appear while they were there. He suspected the dog might simply be a story to scare children, so he didn't ask the others about it.
Zhyra agreed that they could return to their camps — with conditions. The sentinels would still come by to ensure they were safe, and they were required — that's what she said — to respond. What if they were asleep, or if he was practicing? Zhyra didn't really answer that, and he could tell she was growing annoyed by their questions. It didn't matter, his home would be his once again. There had been no sightings of orcs in the past several months, and they reluctantly agreed to let him and Bear go back into the woods.
His little cave wasn't much, but it was home. Nimrathis hurried along the deer-trails, hoping that no creature had claimed it in his absence. He noticed the scent first, the wet and smoky smell of a doused fire, and his ears laid back in irritation. Someone had been here! It wasn't orcs, at least. He could tell from the size of the tracks and the scarcity — elves moved more expertly in the woods than did loud, clumsy orcs. But what elves would be staying here, and why? He checked inside his cave and was relieved to see they had not slept there, at least. Only the forest outside it. Nimrathis had no way to tell whether they would return to this spot or not — he could only wait.
