The Thirteenth Floor
Screenplay : Josef Rusnak and Ravel Centeno-Rodriguez (based on "Simulacron-3" by Daniel F. Galouye)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1999
Stars : Craig Bierko (Douglas Hall), Armin Mueller-Stahl (Hannon Fuller), Gretchen Mol (Jane Fuller), Vincent D'Onofrio (Jason Whitney), Dennis Haysbert (Det. Larry McBain)
There have been a number of American films in the last few years that have been built on the notion of questioning What is reality? These include "Dark City," which played with the idea of implanted memories, "The Truman Show," which gave us a TV studio masquerading as the real world, and, most recently, "The Matrix," with its alien-imposed, prison-like virtual world. What these films have in common are deep, earnest misgivings about what is actually out there, and whether our perception of reality is reliable.
Now, we can add to that list "The Thirteenth Floor," a sci-fi thriller about a group of software developers who create the ultimate virtual reality world--a recreation of Los Angeles circa 1937 that is populated with "units," computer simulations of human beings who turn out to more real than their creators had imagined.
The brain behind the simulated universe and its inhabitants is computer genius/mogul Hannon Fuller (Armin Mueller-Stahl). Fuller is brutally murdered early in the film, and all evidence seems to point to Douglas Hall (Craig Bierko), the second-in-command at Intergraph Computer Systems, Fuller's huge software corporation that is developing the virtual reality prototype. In order to clear his name, Douglas has to "jack into" the virtual reality world and track down a message Fuller left for him there that might explain everything.
The mystery also involves Jane (Gretchen Mol), a young woman who appears after Fuller's death, claiming to be his daughter who has been living in Paris. Also involved is Jason Whitney (Vincent D'Onofrio), another computer programmer whose simulated alter ego, a bartender named Ashton, discovers the truth about his existence and wants to know why. And, with any murder-mystery, there is always the intrepid police detective, here played doggedly and effectively by Dennis Haysbert.
In the end, Douglas does find the explanation of why Fuller was murdered and by whom, but in the process he also discovers things about his own reality that he never even considered. "The Thirteenth Floor" holds several good surprises, and, like "The Matrix," it is silly, but just plausible enough to give you pause when you walk out into the sunlight after the movie is over, and have a brief, flirtatious moment of doubt as to whether the world is truly a physical reality.
The movie uses as its opening epigraph Descartes' oft-cited explanation of his existence: "I think, therefore I am." In "The Thirteenth Floor," many of the characters may be created through electricity and microchips, but they think and they learn and they feel ... so doesn't that mean they are? After all, science fiction has a long history of machines that are more interesting and human than their human counterparts. "The Thirteenth Floor" asks, when humans endow machines and computer simulations with human qualities, does that in turn make them human?
Overall, "The Thirteenth Floor" is quite good in its ability to grab the viewer slowly but surely. The story builds, playing with notions of d'eja vu and confused memories; what at first seems fairly simple turns out to be much, much more complicated. Most of the actors are required to play more than one role--their characters in the "real world" and their characters in the simulated reality. These characters eventually begin to overlap; because the simulated characters were based on the real people, they are something like dim reflections of their creators.
Based on the 1960 novel "Simulacron-3" by Daniel F. Galouye, "The Thirteenth Floor" is in many ways ridiculous, sci-fi hokum, especially at the end where it uses questionable plot logic to ensure a happy ending. But, despite its techno-geek aspirations, this is not a special-effects-laden film, and director Josef Rusnak keeps the action sequences to a blessed minimum. Most of the f/x is spent making a convincing reproduction of L.A. in the late-thirties, when the edge of town ran smack into scraggly desert, oil derricks were more plentiful than skyscrapers, and the Hollywood sign still read "Hollywoodland." Those looking for a shoot-em-up adrenaline rush "Matrix"-style will likely be disappointed; but, those looking for thought-provoking entertainment with some interesting plot twists, "The Thirteen Floor" is not a bad choice.

2. | paradigm | ||
A word coined by Thomas Kuhn to describe a closed set of scientific theories that are coherent and are well accepted by the larger scientific community.
Also see paradigm shift. My new quantum theory is garanteed to shake the scientific community and cause a paradigm shift towards a new set of theories.
1. | Paradigm | ||
The most annoying and misused word in the English language; used intentionally by stupid people to sound smart or by smart people to sound unintentionally stupid. Ah yes, it is indeed the great post-modern paradigm of our age.
3. | paradigm | ||
A pair of dimes, i.e. twenty (20) cents. The expensive consultant helped us discover new paradigms by looking for loose change on the floor.
4. | Paradigm | ||
1. A mode, model, example or blueprint.
2. A set of ideas, assumptions, and values that can be used to live, view the world in the logic of the society. 1. The values, integrity, and disciplines of old civilizations are the paradigms we use for today.
2. What was science-fiction is now a paradigm for the science of the present and the future. |
5. | paradigm | ||
The same as mindset. It defines how you treat daily events and handle situations. What we see is distorted by what we want to see. Paradigm is a combination of your attitude and knowledge. A bad paradigm might completely contradicts the real nature of objects that are perceived by mind and leads to poor reaction. Money-centric paradigm is a popular paradigm. People ruled by it always put money matter at highest priority and blind themselves b/c of it.
6. | paradigm | ||
1. An example the majority of people follow, an establishment, set of values or ways
2. Paradigm City, Unknown Country. Established: more than forty years ago. Population: amnestic. Location: your local anime store; People here don't really know what happened when they lost their memories forty years ago, so they move on. 1. I don't usually go with the paradigm.
2. Paradigm City's inhabitants remind me of the book (gasp! a book! run!) 1984 by George Orwell. |
7. | paradigm | ||
A large obscure word often used by authority figures in an attempt to sound like competent leaders. Lets qualitize our paradigm to maximize the profit sharing.

Seeing as CPI is currently unavailable to make this topic, i decided that i'd make the topic for signups for him - he's more then welcome to replace this topic with his own when the game starts, but i'm just gonna collect the names of the people who wanna play the WH:TG3: Revenge of the Witchunt.
To be clear, i don't intend to run this next game* - This is just me collecting signups for CPI whilst he's not here

Also, read what's under this spoiler, it'll help you greatly with understanding the game! (although some of it may overlap with the above).
- No lynch/kill is now a mechanically supported (official) group target (including Judge/Leeroy)
- Dawn and Dusk no longer exist in the game in any form.
- Lynching (including Judge/Leeroy) and Twilight Pagan power are allowed Day 1 in spite of a King.
- REMOVED ROLE: Jester
- NEW ROLE: Fanatic - You gain an extra life whenever the Priest checks you. (No limit; you will be informed)
- CHANGED ROLE: Vigilante - Once members of your team die to a lynch three times, you may kill a target the following Night. (Only announced if alive)
- CHANGED ROLE: Thief - The first Night at least half the players are dead, you may attempt to steal an extra life from a target and give it to another target. (One time only)
- CHANGED ROLE: Queen - You are automatically part of the King's Court. After the King selects his Court, you will be informed whether it has an odd or even number of Witches.
- CHANGED ROLE: Gambler and Recluse no longer appear to be in the Coven on off-Nights
- CHANGED ROLE: Wizard triggers at 10 or fewer players, not 8.
I'll post some thoughts here in a minute.
All Day 1 King protectionist stuff is gone. If you screw up and manage to kill your King before the Court gets made, that's just on you.
(Witch Leeroy wants the King to claim D1, BTW. For the lulz.)
The Gambler and Recluse false checks were a reactionary design to things that no longer exist. We don't have a crazy Bishop that can activate on Night 2 in small games, and now we've got a whole litter of Junior Witches throwing false checks left and right. There wasn't much gameplay attached to these "abilities" ("I'm not a Witch, I'm the Recluse" was never actually that exciting...) and it contributed to the Priest's swinginess--if modern WH can live without it, I'm more than happy to move away from them.
Old Vigilante and Jester were the most complex roles in the game; they were "worth it" by old standards, but those standards are constantly rising. New Vigilante is a simplified, similar role that is better fit for large games. It's also way more fun for Witches to play. (Old Vig was one of the more lame Witch roles.) Jester on the other hand was a really fun Witch role, but an awful Villager role gameplay-wise. The rules text was also, by nature, potentially ambiguous. While Vig can be reborn as a similar role, Jester is out.
...and Fanatic is in! Fanatic is just a really cool, simple defensive role that plays interestingly for both sides. (Yes, the Priest truly is a bottomless well of gameplay.)
No Vigilante and Jester (new Vig is a night kill) means we have no reason to keep Dawn and Dusk around. Adios!
Thief gets to gift his extra life, which makes Thief a less dubious villager role.
Wizard activates sooner to be a tad more relevant. 10 just seems way more of a tangible goal than 8, without being significantly more powerful.
And finally, major Villager Queen nerf. A certain "0" result was just too game-dominatingly powerful in an overwhelming, bad way. Getting an all-Villager Court is its own reward and a half; no need to go and town-confirm 5 people to the Queen.

One hundred million dollars and my kids would not even want an autograph from any of them.
90.35 million actually
Correct. Well, I will ask the kids again.
THAT'S funny Mamma. 90.35….100 close enough…
Sad news about Ryan Freel. Pound for pound a very athletic competitive player. The last time I saw him I am glad I took the time to tell him what a joy it was to watch compete. He hustled as much in practice as in a game. Many people will remember Ryan as a good guy.

This next post in this series comes from Dario, our Minister of Flapping Tongues about the ever-complicated role of our volunteer translators.
When I first went to Nowhere my English was terrible. In school they taught me that I wasn't good with languages and it took me Years to understand that in fact they were wrong. When I finally started to learn English a new world opened to me and this is also what I found about Nowhere. Not being a native English speaker I have always been very aware of the importance of communication so at one point I decided to start helping Nowhere coordinating the translations, with the funny nickname of Minister of Flapping Tongues, and translating in Italian. Nowhere started like an English event in Spain but is growing more and more International and even if English remains the common language we want our community to embrace the possibility of a multilingual environment.
The translation process is never easy, how can you really explain something that doesn't have an exact translation? How can you translate a word that doesn't exist in your language? And how can you do all this as fast as possible? One of the biggest problems with translations in Nowhere is that those who speak multiple languages are the ones who can help more with translating, but at the same time are also the people that don't need the translations and so frequently don't feel the communication barrier that others feel. Our goal is to use the kind help of our volunteers to make Nowhere really International.
The translations of Nowhere have changed a lot in the last few Years. We first tried to have as many languages as possible but soon we realized that we couldn't manage so many languages without a huge amount of volunteers. At the end we found enough volunteers to translate everything in French, Spanish, German and Italian. For each language there is a team of people that help with the translating when they have some free time, but we are always looking for new volunteers because sometime we have a lot of translations right when everyone is busy. To improve the process we also translate only the very important and urgent topics and everything else is translated only if the volunteers have time.
Every Year we try to improve the translations more and more because Nowhere is growing and we always need the help of everyone. So if you speak a language or if you have ideas about the translations please get in contact with me at Cette adresse email est protégée contre les robots des spammeurs, vous devez activer Javascript pour la voir.
The first post in our behind the scenes series of blog posts 'Back of Nowhere', to give a glimpse into all the hard work that goes into making our lovely volunteer run event happen. This post provided by the dedicated Lead of the Art Team - an ever growing part of Nowhere.
Hi there, I am Emily, and I lead the Art team at Nowhere. I started out as a member of the Art Grant team in 2009 and have seen the arts grow from year to year. 2012 was the biggest year yet with 42 funded projects, an increase from 16 the year before.
Traditionally the art team have given art grants to artists creating work to be placed on the playa, with the art grant budget being usually 10% of the ticket sales. We look at all of the applications and allocate money. We try to give as much to as many people as possible, we have to consider lots of things when deciding what to fund. Such as the Health and Safety, Sustainability and Participatory nature of the projects.
In the last year we have seen the team grow bigger, and my role is to support everybody in their roles and plan for the future of the arts at Nowhere. I act as a project manager making sure that everything happens when it's supposed to. I am constantly developing new systems for artists and working to develop the art for the holistic development of the event.
This year we have developed various new roles on the Arts team, including an Art Archivist, Art Car Lead and an Art Grants Lead role. As the team grows bigger we have developed lead roles for each department, so that everyone isn't having to do every aspect of the job. It's getting too big for that now.
So I oversee various teams within the Arts.
There is:
Art Comms Lead- The last 3 years we have had an Art Comms lead. They deal with all the mail outs on behalf of the Art's team. The Art Comms is the face of the Arts, and a hugely important role for the team. It has been invaluable having somebody take on this role. This also involves evangelizing the art grants to bring in artists from outside of our immediate community.
The Art Grant Team- They decide on the art grants and support artists in the creation of their work. We are here to answer questions in the lead up to the event, and offer support to artists during and after the event as well. This includes getting them to fill out feedback surveys so we can make the process better.
KunstHaus- This is a version of the Artery at Burning Man. It is essentially Art Production on site. We have been building this up over the years by creating our own set of tools for artists, and it has previously been run out of Eat Your Art Out as the camp that feeds artists during set up. This year we will have a separate production site, and offer shelter for artists to work under during set up.
Art Archive- For years we have been trying to build up an archive of all the art that has happened at Nowhere over the years. This year, we found the perfect volunteer to set this up, so you will be seeing an archive on the website soon.
Art Car Lead- In the last 2 years we have seen Art Cars arriving at Nowhere, from our initially funded art car, the Kruizcruzer (don't quote me on the spelling for that) from Berlin to last year when we had 4 art cars. We have had to consider how this affects the event and build in guidelines to work with this growth.
Theme- We brought in a theme at Nowhere in 2010 and have gone through various ways of deciding it. The most popular being a public vote in 2012. Now we have a separate theme committee consisting of various volunteers from within the community.
Art Tours- At Nowhere, for the last 3 years we have started to run art tours. They have usually happened on an ad hoc basis, but this year we hope to amend that. They will appear in the Survival Guide and we will have 3 set times during the event.
I am so happy to volunteer for Nowhere and get such joy from seeing the art at the event. It fills me with happiness each year to see the quality and the quantity of art increase. To me, it is one of the most important things at the event, both for building up the community and providing a more exciting landscape at the event itself.
I am lucky to be able to work alongside a wonderful and committed team and give thanks to all of them for making my job both easy and a pleasure. This year I am very lucky to be co-leading with Romy, who is in her 3rd year of volunteering at Nowhere. We have great plans for the arts and love seeing it grow and grow each year.
We always have roles for people if you wish to volunteer with the art team. From supporting artists on site, giving art tours, or to more committed roles on the Art Grant Team, we love to hear from people who want to join us in any capacity.

What just about every scene kid and hipster under the age of 25 calls themselves these days. Many own Canon Rebel xtis and rely heavily on cropping and Photoshop filters to give their otherwise mundane photos an "artsy" feel. It is also not uncommon to see them wielding Lomography cameras (usually a Holga, now that they're sold at Urban Outfitters) on any given day. Typically, these "photographers" cite Diane Arbus, Robert Mapplethorpe, or, in the case of those Vice Magazine devotees, Terry Richardson, Cobrasnake, or Richard Kern, as major influences, because they couldn't name any other photographers to save their lives.
The typical subjects of their photographs include, but are not limited to: pidgeon-toed girls in Converse that have been drawn on with ballpoint pens and/or Sharpies, flowers/weeds growing out of cracks in sidewalks, juxtapositions of objects that typically don't go together (in one such case, a Queen of Hearts playing card on a cracked sidewalk), a girl who looks like something out of an American Apparel ad smoking a cigarette, decaying buildings, and just about anything that looks "vintage" (ie, yellowing washing machines in a laundromat). 16-year-old Dylan took to calling herself a photographer after receiving her Canon Rebel for Christmas, and snapping a few photos of sidewalks in Decatur.
"These photos represent the irony of life," she said. "And you represent the bane of modern photography," David replied. |

A photographer is a person who takes photographs using a camera. A professional photographer uses photography to make a living, while amateur photographers take photographs for pleasure and to record an event, place or person. more...
Not all photographers are scene or emo kids and not all rely heavily on photoshop or any other photo editing software (such as GIMP, Lightroom, photobucket, etc) to make their photos look unique. Some photographers actually are photographers, not just "What just about every scene kid and hipster under the age of 25 calls themselves these days.". Some actually shoot photographs for a purpose rather than because it is the "cool" thing to do at the moment. Some great photographers are Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Les Forrester, Lara Jade, Andrew Gransden, Joe Rosenthal, Jill Greenberg, and Annie Leibovitz. A photographer may stick to one subject area, such as portraiture or nature strictly, but quite a few usually spread their subject areas among many different kinds of photography, such as nature, portraiture, still life... |

1.) an enormous amount of photos 2.) a normal amount of photos that always turn out to be amazing aka: shutterbug ~CAUTION~
people might POSE as a photographer; in reality they are stalking you when they use that long lens to see inside your window |
4. | Photographer | ||
Term often misused to describe a "Camera Owner." Photographer should define to individuals using cameras who are dedicated, show some level of skill, talent, or expertise, and usually persist in taking pictures for extended periods of their life. Buy a piano you aren't automatically a pianist. Buy a plane and you aren't automatically a pilot. Buy a camera and you're a photographer. Look I just got this camera at a garage sale, say cheese, I'll be your photographer.
Dude, you're just a camera owner... take the lens cap off... you've got a long way to go before you're a real photographer. |
5. | Photographer | ||
An Artist that takes pictures for a living. Photographers are able to get amazing shots through Candid, Pin-ups, Portraits, ect. People do call themselves photographers even though they take blurry, meaningless, photographs. These people ruin a great form of art. These people normally can not take critiques for their life, even when they ask for it. Person 1: Look at this photo I just took! I'm such a good Photographer!
Person 2: This is horrible! This has no meaning let alone any definition! You are no photographer. Other example Person 1: I'd love some feed back on my photography. Person 2: First off, this picture is way to burry. I can't tell what's even in this picture. Also the light is extremely yellow, so I'm guessing this was taken inside at night. Person 1: I'M A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER!! MY MOM TELLS ME I'M THE BEST!! Person 3: Lolz you asked for critique |

The story of the ghost who appears in a mirror when summoned has been told many times in countless variations. Children, following the directions provided in the version they heard, have been trying to contact Bloody Mary for at least 30 years now, perhaps for much longer than that. There's something about the story that makes it almost a tradition at slumber parties and summer camp, or basically anywhere a group of youngsters get together away from the watchful eyes of adults. trains have been around for 300 years

Dollar Menu Opportunities
"What's a dollar menu?" a friend's son asked us years ago as we went through a drive through.
"It's what we choose our dinner from," I answered.
"My family doesn't do discount stores," a girl told a friend of mine this week "WE don't shop in such stores, and I won't go in."
My children are well educated in dollar menus and discount stores.
Each day, we learn of other friends or family who have lost jobs. It's harder to be the parent facing limited income and higher bills – and hungry kids who just outgrew their clothes.
We may not realize this is a blessing for our children. In my childhood, I lived in two worlds. The first had excess, privilege, and easy spending. In the second, I had a paper route at age ten, bought all my own clothes in middle school, and left home at 18. I was given the gift of living in vastly different circumstances. Each had its own challenges.
In this downturn, we can teach our children to be frugal, self reliant, compassionate, and careful with dwindling resources. Gardens may have more food than flowers this year. We learn to celebrate the dollar menu when we have the chance to enjoy it.
We teach our children by our example. They can learn lessons: don't waste food, spend money you have, buy used and secondhand items, and live within your means. If we eat out less, we can eat in more. The more often we eat meals as a family, with our kids, the less likely they will succumb to temptation as adults. Our hard times now equip them for challenges tomorrow.
My husband and I have owned a small business the past 9 years. We've known disasters and blessings. God has been with us in all circumstances, most especially years ago when our home and business burned and we lost almost everything we owned.
Years after Almanzo and Laura Wilder lost their home in a fire, they had boxes for their table and chairs. When they started their apple orchard, they had to work 5 years to turn a profit and took countless odd jobs. Almanzo described their work:
"I think that one thing that has made my orchard a success is that I took individual care of each tree. What that particular tree needed it got. Wife and I were so well acquainted with the trees that if I wished to mention one to her, I would say "that tree with the large branch to the south," or "the tree that leans to the north," etc. The tree that leaned was gently taught to stand straight so that the sun would not burn the bark....The trees came into bearing at seven years old, and the apples were extra well colored and smooth skinned. I have had apple buyers and nursery men tell me that my orchard was the prettiest they ever saw, and my Ben Davis are different from any I have ever seen in being better colored and flavored and in the texture of the flesh."
Twenty years after they bought Rocky Ridge Farm, the Wilders realized their dream of a self-sustaining farm with dairy, poultry, and fruit and a dream house. Decades later, during the Depression, Rose used her tough childhood knowledge of gardening and food preservation to feed her friends and neighbors.

Brain Breaks, Center Light, and Dismissal Routine
I officially declared this weekend DIY weekend. I had several pinned projects that were just waiting to get done. And since I'm running out of time before school starts, I got to work!! Here's a look at what I did:

Hi Amy! So glad you stopped by my blog so I could find you! I wondered if you had some of your brain breaks available to see so I could get an idea of what to do... I want to make those!!
Looking forward to following you!
Tori's Teacher TipsLove the brain break ideas!
Sarah's First Grade SnippetsI wasn't thrilled with some of the brain break activities I saw as well, but I was too lazy to make up my own. Kuddos to you! I like your "I'm Invisible" light. I may have to steal that idea! I really like your Dismissal Checklist. I may have to steal that, too :)
Thanks so much for sharing!
~AndiHey! Thanks for commenting on my blog! I love your push light! I MIGHT have to copy! :)
Yes, your blog does the word verification, too. It's easy to turn it off... Click "Settings" on the left > "Posts and comments > Find "Show word verification" > On the drop-down menu, click No! :)
Thanks, again, for visiting! :)
Miss R's RoomHello Amy!

I made the brainbreak craft and I am excited to use it this year.
When I saw your "I'm invisible" light I decided I HAVE to make one as well!!! Super adorable!
Another one of your projects I need is the dismissal chart.
I'm looking forward to reading about other crafts, and ideas you have for second graders.

In-camera image processing includes curve control settings, color adjustments and even, with the new Olympus models, some "art" filters.

Please comment briefly on the attributes you set in the camera, even if you shoot raw.
I like the fact that can a lot of processing work done by the camera and don't want to be bothered later.

Whooping Cough Cases On The Rise In Eastern Racine County
Have you been vaccinated? Find out what whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is, who needs a vaccine and where you can find them.
With 59 cases of whooping cough reported in eastern Racine County since January, health officials are asking residents to make sure they are up to date with their vaccinations. Wisconsin currently leads the nation in the number of reported cases with 5,163 confirmed or probable cases reported, according to the Wisconsin Division of Public Health (WDPH). The highly-contagious communicable disease starts out like a cold in infants and young children, with a low-grade fever and cough that appears seven to 20 days after a person has been exposed. As the illness advances, a person can have explosive coughing, and may be followed by vomiting and exhaustion. Locally, Jeffrey Langlieb, community health program manager for the Central Racine County…

After 10 years, the Center on Age & Community is transforming. Soon we will share the link for UWM's new Center on Aging and Translational Research. This site will become the home of the Creative Trust, an alliance dedicated to fostering life-long learning through the arts.
Compiled by Jane Tygesson
Inspired by the experiences of the Spark Alliance of museums and cultural institutions.
This new manual (97 pages) is designed to offer a road map to starting programs for families with memory loss at a wide range of cultural institutions. Small, large, rural, urban - the Spark Alliance of 10 museums and cultural institutions shared trainings and resources to help build their network and improve the lives of people with memory loss. The manual is FREE to download, and was made possible by grants from the Helen Bader Foundation. SparkManual__digital.pdf
A year in the works, this more flexible Certificate is ideal for non-degree and degree students alike, eager to develop expertise at the cusp of research and cutting edge practices in aging services. Learn More! Starting January 3rd, Dr. Rhonda Montgomery will be the interim Coordinator of the Certificate in Applied Gerontology. Contact Dr. Montgomery with questions about the exciting new and flexible format for the Certificate.
CAC is facilitating this group's efforts to bring life-long learning in the arts to young and old alike on Milwaukee's East Side.

Which College Football Team is Worth the Most Money?
By: Amanda Ashley
Updated: January 7, 2013
A Wall Street Journal report looks at what some of the biggest college teams might fetch if they could be bought and sold like pro franchises.
Taking top honors for total worth is Texas with a reported $761.7 million value, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The SEC boasts some of the most valuable teams - 8 of the top 15 on the list coming from the conference.
Arkansas ranks 14th overall, seventh highest worth in the SEC, with a worth of just over $330 million. Other high dollar programs include Auburn at #6, plus Alabama and LSU grabbing the #8 and #9 spots.
The study was conducted by Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus.

I met Claire McMillan through Twitter, in part because we are both card-carrying members of the Emily Mitchell/Last Summer of the World fan club - and Edith Wharton Fans. Emily's splendid debut novel, Gilded Age, is a bit of a House of Mirth set in modern-day Cleveland. Elle Magazine calls it "a beach read with a touch of literary pedigree … a rich romp of a read." I hope you'll enjoy it, as well as her rich romp of a story about how it came to be published. - Meg Waite Clayton
I have a novel in a drawer.
I'd never say, I have a novel in a drawer, somewhere.
I know exactly where it is.
I wrote the beginning of it when I was getting my MFA at Bennington and still practicing law. I finished it two years and a new baby after I graduated. When I was done, I shopped for an agent.
No one wanted it.
I queried maybe 25 agents, a few looked at the manuscript. Everyone took a pass.
That's when I put it in a drawer.
I literally cleaned out a drawer, placed a copy of the draft in there, along with a copy on a flash drive, and shut the drawer.
I told myself I'd stop writing for a while, that I needed a little break. I wanted to chill with my baby.
But I didn't really know how to start something again.
My husband gave me a first edition of The House of Mirth for my birthday that year. We give him an A in present-giving for that. He knew it was one of my favorite books, Wharton one of my favorite authors. That night over dinner, we were discussing why I like Wharton so much. I was saying that everything she was writing about, like all great authors, was universal and still happening today.
That's when the lightbulb went on.
I was too nervous to actually read the first edition, for fear of damaging it. My paperback version from college was tattered, cover fallen off, and spine disintegrating. So I went out and bought a fresh copy.
I read it through once, and then placed it next to me as I wrote. It kept me company, which helped me. Jumping off from a great book was both easier and harder than before – easier because there was a blueprint to work with, harder because I was intimidated.
I told myself I was just messing around.
When I was done, I sent it out, and it found an agent and then a publisher fairly quickly which felt incredibly lucky and like a huge relief.
It's been with a publisher for a year, and during that time I've been working on starting again.
I decided I needed to take the novel out of the drawer and burn it in order to be free of it. I grew up in Southern California and lived in Northern for a decade, I can be prone to stuff like this.
I now have two children. Their eyes were wide as I put the failed novel in the fireplace and set a match to it.
It wouldn't light.
I got the clicker my husband uses for the barbeque.
I have no explanation for why it wouldn't burn – other than the obvious reason, the one that calls to me from the drawer telling me to start again.
Like I said, I'd never say I have a novel in a drawer somewhere. I know exactly where that thing is. - Claire
This post originally ran on 1st Books: Stories of How Writers Get Started, hosted by bestselling novelist Meg Waite Clayton, author of four novels, including The Wednesday Sisters and the forthcoming The Wednesday Daughters. 1st Books features award-winning writers blogging about how they got started writing and publishing, as well as other readerly and writerly delights.
Yes this was encouraging. This whole site is encouraging. I have a question.
I finally gave the first few chapters to a friend, a professional editor. The book takes place over 80 years and in several different countries so I was unable to come up with anything but the omniscient narrator voice. Instead I opted for seeing each scene from each of the main characters perspectives. My friend said that was a great big no-no and that I needed to at least keep each chapter from only one point of view. Or if I REALLY needed to show two, separate the two POVs with a space between. She knows wa-a-ay more than I do, but I am checking here to see if that is the norm that everyone but me knows, and that basically I am "dark-and-stormy-night" ing it. Anyone have any advice before I go ahead a work with this wonderful editor. (Whaaa - don't want to rewrite my whole book)
This is an enjoyable and encouraging read. I especially find it fascinating that the manuscript wouldn't burn. Perhaps, do you suppose, there is life and a future for it yet?
I have not yet completed my first novel, the one I began in NaNoWriMo 2010 and continued in NaNo 2011, but it's not far from me as I write this. I haven't given up on it even though I'm not sure how it is going to turn out ... or where to go with it from there. There's time.
Claire, I can identify with you wanting to destroy your ms with so many rejections. I subbed mine for five years with only rejections. They said it was too much of a problem story. They said the main character wasn't strong enough. One editor even said he didn't like the voice. I wanted to scream too, but I didn't. I revised my first chapter yet another time and then decided to pitch it at the Muse Online Conference. The rest is history, since Lea Schizas, an old friend and publisher of MuseItUp Publishing, decided she wanted it!!! That is why I always tell new writers that the best thing they can do for themselves is keep on trying. Perseverance is definitely the thing every writer needs. Rejections I get now only make me want to send out whatever was rejected. It works for the most part. This summer I sent out my poems and when they were rejected I sent them somewhere else. My flash story, rejected by one magazine was accepted by another and my poems were also accepted by another place. You have to think there is someone who is waiting to accept your work!!!
Such an encouraging post. Thank you!
I loved this! Especially since we met in TX and the next theme is The Gilded Age. There's so much optimism here. Authors dream of being discovered and you were! Plus, you have a family. As one of my Basic (that's the progressive term they used when I taught English ages ago) students said at the end of a grammatically flawed 5 page story, And that the higher it could go." Enjoy every moment!
Thanks for the story - it's very encouraging. I love hearing about numerous rejections before a success! And I'll take this book on holiday with me this summer. I'm a big Wharton fan. One of my favorite books is by Tama Janowitz called 'A Certain Age' which is a haunting, brilliant novel set in Manhattan and based on The House of Mirth.
Glad people are enjoying the post. I confess I laughed out loud when I came to "I got the clicker my husband uses for the barbeque."
Great inspiration. I'm stuggling with my first novel. Some parts yet to be written, others revised multiple times. I know I need to get a complete draft down on paper now that I know how I want to tell the story. That is how I have come to find the missing pieces. Then I can work to revise it.
Thanks for a delicious read. I am still writing my first novel and chiseling it the letting it rest. When I don't write, I think about it. Sometimes I feel guilty for not finishing it, but it is still in the first draft.

This morning was my first workout with a belt ever. It made everything feel awkward. I felt like I couldn't take as big/deep of a breath. I felt weaker, but that could be due to the distraction. When in the hole of my squat, it would dig into my hip bones.
Roughly, how long does it take to get used to this? Any advice?

Can someone clear this up for me or I'm I missing something here.... Thanks in advance
What's the deal with Rocky Racoon???

Absolutely love this! I searched for a few months for a specific design, with the right price. I finally found it here, and the process was smooth. I received it in a timely fashion, put everything together myself (single female, living alone) and was able to drag along the carpet/floor to move to the spot I wanted. I've got a rug, so no scraping, so not sure about hardwoods. It holds a 46" flat screen well, with plenty of room left on top for picture frames, candles, etc.

As you can read in the description and see in the picture, this tv stand has an antique black finish. I was confused when I received it and opened the box because the pieces were medium brown! [...]. The new box was exactly the same! So we figured it was right and decided to investigate more thoroughly this time. It turns out that the inside is medium brown; something that was not mentioned in the description. It isn't noticeable and we decided to deal with it but it would have saved us a lot of time and frustration had we known this in the first place! I vote for a description change. Oh, and we have a 42" plasma and the stand makes it look PUNY! I recommend only getting this if you have a larger tv and a lot of space for it because it is big!

The only trouble I had and still have is getting one door to hang straight. The hinges are not as adjustable as they could be and I have seen other hinges (on my cupboard doors) that are completely adjustable.I put this together myself in a few hours and I'm 73 years old so anyone can do it.

About Me Bargain Hunter, Practical, Stylish
In the past I have assembled a lot of furniture but none had the instructions as easy to follow as this one. Each type of screw, bolt, fixture was in a plastic bag with the part number showing. No longer did I have to inventory each item and compare to a picture to see if I had the correct screw or bolt. I recently made my second purchase of some different furniture and I am very pleased with the process of ordering and the looks of the items.

Risk and Prevention / Environmental Factors (UV Exposure, Radon, Radiation)
OncoLink Team
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: March 23, 2012
Much about cancer from accidental radiation exposure is known from the atomic bomb survivors in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan in 1945 and the survivors of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident in Ukraine in 1986, where millions of people were exposed to high levels of radioactivity. Researchers have found that the age of the individuals at the time of the accident, the amount of radiation to which they were exposed, and their distance from the accident are very important factors in determining their cancer risk. Thyroid cancer and leukemia are the most common cancers seen in this population. In long-term studies with atomic bomb survivors, some researchers believe there may be a link for increased risk of skin, esophageal, uterine, and bladder cancers with high dose radiation exposure.
Thyroid cancer is several times more common in children and adolescents living near Chernobyl. Other than the adults involved with the cleanup after the accident and those who lived closest to the power plant, most survivors did not have a high risk of developing thyroid cancer. This illustrates the point that children and those in closest proximity to the accident are affected the most by exposure from a radiation accident.
Why thyroid cancer? Several reasons are proposed as to why thyroid cancer is the most common type of cancer seen in survivors of the atomic bomb and Chernobyl, particularly in those that were children or adolescents at the time of the events. The thyroid gland in children tends to be more "sensitive" to iodine, and thus the radioactive iodine released by these events concentrates in the thyroid. Children may have also ingested milk either from their mothers or cattle that could have been another source of increased iodine exposure. There is some thought that many children may have been Iodine deficient and thus more susceptible to absorbing the Iodine. Finally, because the thyroid grows very rapidly during childhood, it is more susceptible to genetic mutations caused by exposure to radiation, leading to cancer.
While you cannot change the fact that you have been exposed to radiation, it is important to notify your healthcare provider of this exposure so that appropriate screening tests can be done to either decrease the risk of developing cancer or detect cancer at an early stage.
Dr. Mao talks about complementary and alternative medicine and the importance of being open about their use with cancer caregivers. Read more.

Students are expected to complete their degree requirements at the campus to which they originally matriculated. Transfer between campuses is permitted only under extenuating and specific circumstances in accordance with the procedures described below.
Intercampus transfer requests will be considered only if the addition of a student to the class at the corresponding campus will not cause enrollment to exceed the capacity and enrollment limit established for that campus. To be eligible for intercampus transfer consideration, the student must be in good academic standing at the time of the request. Prior to accepting a transfer request for consideration, the student shall be required to document that he/she has sought and received financial aid counseling about the implications of a campus transfer.
No request for transfer shall be considered if the request is received by the program after clinical placement assignments have been completed for that student. Any approved transfer that is executed by the student is final; requests to return to the original campus will not be considered. Approved transfers may be executed only at the conclusion of an academic quarter; however, it is strongly recommended that they occur at the end of academic year, rather than during the academic year.
