Updated: March 19, 2014 6:26AM
TEMPE, Ariz. — Mark Mulder described his season-ending — and possibly comeback-ending — left Achilles injury a freak accident.
"(Saturday) was a hard day," Mulder, a South Holland native and Thornwood High School graduate, said Sunday. "I worked hard to get to this point. I felt really good about where I was and all the things I was doing. (For now) you go to bed and you wake up. I'll get better. There are a lot of people who have it a lot worse."
Attempting to return to the big leagues for the first time since 2008, Mulder, 36, was doing routine warmup agility drills while running backward Saturday before what would have been his first bullpen session with the Angels when he heard it.
At first, the two-time All-Star first thought he broke his shoe.
"It wasn't anything new," Mulder said of the drill. "I wasn't going that hard at all. I was backpedaling, and I stopped to plant to go forward and hear a loud pop. I almost fell forward and was confused. I thought my shoe broke. I thought the heel popped out of my shoe. I felt like the ball of my foot wasn't attached to my foot. I tried to take a step because I couldn't process at all what was going on. I couldn't really move."
Mulder, a 6-foot-6 left-hander, was believed to be one of five Angels starters competing for three rotation spots behind Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson.
The way manager Mike Scioscia talked about Mulder, he had a solid shot of making his way in there.
"This guy worked too hard — and not only worked hard, but he was legitimately throwing the ball close to where he was in his prime which was really encouraging," Scioscia said. "We were really excited about it."
Mulder was 103-60 record over nine seasons, five with Oakland and four with St. Louis in a career that was cut short by shoulder injuries. He finished second to Roger Clemens in the 2001 AL Cy Young Award voting after posting a 21-8 record with Oakland.
Mulder is waiting to see what his doctor in Arizona says before he makes any decisions on his future.
"I'm going to meet with the doctor," Mulder said. "I'd love to say 'yes' (to a comeback) but I don't know. I've got to wait and see what the doctors say."
Mulder said he was told his recovery could take five to eight months. On Sunday he sounded so confident of his comeback this season that he hinted that this might be harder for him to take than his exit in 2008.
"If it would have been an elbow or a shoulder, I would have said, 'See ya. Thanks, I'm out,' " Mulder said. "This makes it doubly as hard. It's tough to take. It's not something I was expecting. I was worried about missing a few days with a back or hamstring or whatever. I did everything I could to prepare myself for this not to happen. This wasn't something I could ever see happening."
Scioscia would like to have Mulder back.
"I hope he's not going to give up, but it's an incredible setback and it's tough," Scioscia said. "He was too close to quit on it, and hopefully, when he gets his surgery he can start again and make that comeback.
"I think in the big picture that his confidence level is quite high and he feels that he can still do this," Scioscia said.

Here's how to A) flash CID49 DB2010/DB2020 phones with PhoneXS 2 If you only want to upload / delete some files: B) Uploading & deleting files with PhoneXS 2 First of all: Important: It may take up to 5 hours!! to finalize your phone. / Once you have started the procedure there's no way back So don't flash your phone, if you need it in the next few hours. VERY IMPORTANT THINGS: + You can download PhoneXS here: www.uploads.sc/download.php?file=70...a61dca41b7e6b7d (2.10 Alpha3) + make sure that main firmware flash file & filesystem flash file & custpacks are available for your phone BEFORE you start flashing + After flashing a filesystem flash file, DON'T turn your phone on, until you have customized it + Always charge your battery to 100% before flashing + Remove SIM card & memorystick before flashing + If your phone is not recognized, remove battery & insert it again +Use this tool with a DCU-60 cable (standard usb cable that came with your phone) or a service cable of your choice + Always use the latest USB drivers Warning: Don't flash GSlide Firmwares to W810 - not possible at the moment! a) Flashing with Phone XS 2 That really easy, we'll just need a) Firmware main file b) Filesystem file Sources for these files: Firmware main + filesystem: www.topsony.com/foro/cmps_index.php?page=Firmwares In this example we'll flash a K800 with firmware R1ED001 Generic and filesystem EUROPE_2. So we'll head to topsony.com and download these 2 files: K800_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED49.rar K800_R1ED001_FS_EUROPE_2_RED49.rar As these are .rar files, we have to extract them. That gives us: K800_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_WI.mbn K800_R1ED001_FS_EUROPE_2.fbn Now it's time to download & start Phone XS. The first thing we have to do, is to select the cable we are using. We'll use a USB DCU60 (standard usb cable) in this example, which means we have to select "USB" and press "Connect". Now PhoneXS profiles our phone and outputs some information: As we are going to flash our phone with MAIN and FS (filesystem) firmware, We activate "Flash Main", "Flash File System" and "Customize File System" and use K800_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_WI.mbn as "Main Firmware" and K800_R1ED001_FS_EUROPE_2.fbn as "File System". Because we are flashing a filesystem we also have to customize. To do that we select a compatible CDA. As we are flashing a EUROPE_2 filesystem, we use a EUROPE_2 custpack. Finally click "Flash" and PhoneXS will do its magic. Note: After clicking "Flash" it can take up to 5 hours to finish the procedure. If the programm hangs after a while, your phone is most likely low on power >> recharge it That's all b) Uploading & deleting files with PhoneXS 2 You don't want to flash a firmware, just do some file uploading? Ok! Then let's start. After we have exctracted the tool, we'll have this folders: The important folder is "files_to_upload". All files that are in this folder will be uploaded to the phone. Let's say we want to upload a new menu.ml with some images to the phone. The location of these files on the phone is: /tpa/preset/system/menu/ We'll have to create in "files_to_upload" a new folder called "tpa", in the folder "tpa" we create a new folder called "preset", and so on... Finally we'll have the folder "\files_to_upload\tpa\preset\system\menu". Into this folder we'll copy the new menu.ml and the images. To upload these files, we just start PhoneXS, connect and select "FSX" at the bottom to get to the upload menu & finally click "Start FSX". PhoneXS will now upload our files in "files_to_upload" to the phone +If you need the original files from the filesystem, you can use this tool ( here: www.topsony.com/foro/local_links.php?catid=13 This post has been edited 2 times.

Owlet Calls
Name: Nancy H. Status: other Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 7/4/2003
We have woods behind our home and there are a lot of hawks. I do not know what kind, we live in the northeast, a Pittsburgh suburb. Recently, one hawk calls at almost all night long and it sounds like another one from a distance is calling back. They out back and forth all night long. I love these birds and the noise is not the issue, my family is curious as to why they are doing this. It has not happened before this summer. I do not know if they are nesting behind our home, but I did not think they cried out all night and am hoping it is not sick or something is wrong.
These calls are happening probably from the end of April (depending on your latitude in North America) right into the summer months, and this is not the call of a hawk, but you describe what can only be one or more juvenile Great Horned Owl(s) demanding food from its two parents. Good years will bring two juveniles from a nest, but it is more common that only one will survive into adulthood. Juveniles do not have the adult "hoot", if you will, but a screeching call that would rival any hawk in intensity. This goes on all night. Actually the juveniles are active about three in the afternoon and will continue to be active in the early morning hours, but the adults are just plain worn out!! Calling in the daylight hours will bring the mobs of crows to harass the juveniles so calling during the day is not usually observed.
I hope this helps.

In Their Words: More from MULYP
Surrounded by a panoramic view of the city lights from the 33rd floor of the Clark Tower, 300 Memphians gathered Friday night to honor outstanding young minority professionals during the inaugural MULYP Agents of Change Awards Gala.
Here's what several of the attendees had to say about the event and about Memphis Urban League Young Professionals' plans for 2011.
"I think it bodes well for our future. It means that they have not fallen into the 'Memphis is not going to change; let's just get out of here.' They're saying it is going to change and we have as much responsibility as our elders do. It's just great. I recognize full well I am not in office for the sake of longevity…what it means to me is that I could leave today and know that our city is in great hands."
– Memphis Mayor A C Wharton, Jr.
"The 2010 Inaugural Agents of Change Awards Gala was truly a humbling experience for me because I was in a room among the many unsung heroes of our city. This year, MULYP's retiring board decided to step outside our norm and present an event that captured the successes of young, minority professionals in the city of Memphis. MULYP saw a void and took the initiative to do something that has never been done in our city before and the outcome was an overwhelming success. The event will only continue to grow and bring more recognition to the efforts of our city's most valuable asset – young professionals – and I look forward to the continued support of this community."
– Lori Spicer, MULYP President – Elect, Community Affairs Manager at The MED
"I'd like to see the organization grow, not only in memberships, but in its efforts of things we're doing outside in the community. We have a lot of members with excellent ideas. Because of the size of the group right now, we don't have all the support we'd like sometimes, but with increased membership, you have an opportunity to see other people join and people's passions come alive. Mine is health care."
– Jonathan Watkins, MULYP Member, Methodist Hospital North Assistant Administrator
"For our initiatives going into 2011, we're going to focus more on youth development and addressing the educational challenges that we face. We're very focused on health literacy and advocacy for young professionals – particularly in the African American community – and workforce and economic development."
– Tarrin McGhee, MULYP President, Common Ground Director
"The position that I'm taking on is the chair of the youth mentoring and development committee, and in doing that, we'll work with students who go to the Urban League and get assistance, and we'll also be working with Project Ready. Some of my goals for the upcoming year are to go out and have a certain amount of volunteer service hours for the students and to definitely incorporate some kind of mentoring component with other young professionals throughout the community."
– Christina Watkins, Incoming MULYP Board Member, Le Bonheur Community Outreach Specialist

I was out and about walking looking for something to take back home with me, you know the usual routine but was having no luck! Until I bumped into Wandi looking so nice with a brazil shirt on. From there I had to take her back home and Renato was just as anxious. We told her we had some soccer games back at the apartment for her to enjoy and she was ready. Little did she know I had no DVD player yet because I just moved there so we had to occupy the time doing something else! You can ponder what we did or watch the update! I would watch the update! Enjoy!

I collect mainly MJ cards and truly believe he is the best basketball player of all time, but what a horrible off court personality. I don't know if anyone heard of some of his excerpts or watched his hall of fame induction ceremony, but the guy had to take that moment to humiliate anyone who wronged him or further humiliate anyone who he got the better of. Maybe it was because he knew he was better than everyone. Maybe he knew everyone wanted to be him. As for Wade, I always enjoyed watching him play after post-Shaq and pre-LeBron. He was fearless and as everyone else mentioned, humble. But, I agree that he has had this sense of entitlement since LeBron came into the picture. Maybe because there isn't enough basketballs for him and LeBron at once and he realizes he isn't the best player on HIS team. Anyone remember when he had to be wheeled off in a wheelchair with a shoulder injury?

Science Journalist
Report on scientific breakthroughs in print, the web, or TV.
The dream of writing the next great American novel is pretty much a pipe dream for most people. The publishing industry is a tough nut to crack, and overworked Editors don't have time to coach new Novelists on how to be the next Toni Morrison.
But you do. As a Manuscript Evaluator, you look through the works of Authors who are hoping to be published, and give them advice and criticism on their work.
You don't function as an Editor, although many freelance Manuscript Evaluators also do offer editing services. Instead, Writers send you their finished work (or a pretty good chunk of it), and you go through it to look for flaws. The purpose of your evaluation is to let Writers know how to stand out from the thousands of other works that get sent to publishing houses. You look at things like structure, character development, dialogue quality, scene transitions, and any other element that might improve the book. After analyzing the manuscript, you send the Author a detailed report on how they can improve their writing and give their story a good chance at being selected for publishing.
Authors choose your services over the advice of friends and family because of your experience in the field of publishing. Most Manuscript Evaluators are former Editors or Literary Agents, and many have written their own novels. There are a few firms that offer specific evaluation services, but for the most part, this is a freelance business that you'll need to start on your own.

ANTENNA SELECTION GUIDEBefore selecting a television antenna, you'll want to collect some basic facts about your antenna needs. Rather than just providing a ZIP Code search that recommends an antenna, we think it's important that all antenna users understand these items. We're going to walk you through the basics, followed by an easy search tool at the end that will provide you with all of the information you need about broadcast TV in your area. Through the search tool, this is the information you will want to determine:
Ready to search? Let's go!Don't worry, AntennaWeb.org will open in a new browser window, you won't loose this page! Got all of your information? Let's choose an antenna!Important Note About AmplifiersIt is not always necessary to "boost" your antenna signal using an amplifier. In fact, using a signal amplifier when not needed can add "noise" to your otherwise stellar signals, causing pixelation or signal disruption. A signal amplifier is used in cases where one of your broadcast towers is located at a significantly further distance than the others, or you are having trouble getting reliable reception from one or two channels due to foliage, a mountain range, or splitting signals inside the home between two or more television sets. For these reasons (in addition to encouraging energy conservation!), all Channel Master antennas come "passive" without built-in amplification, and amplifiers are sold seperately. Everyday Series AntennasChannel Master's Everyday Series antennas are designed to be ideal for the majority of metropolitan and suburban dwellers, providing simple installation, flexible placement, and reception of both UHF and high-VHF signals.
Specialty Series AntennasChannel Master's Specialty Series antennas are designed for instances of special needs, such as long-range reception, dual-tower locations and the addition of low-VHF signal reception. Specialty Series antennas are outdoor products that may require professional installation, depending on your DIY skill level, for mounting on roofs, chimneys, or installed in attics.

GPO Targeted by OMB
July 2002
WASHINGTON, DC—The federal government's Office of Management & Budget (OMB) is seeking to put an end to the so-called monopoly on federal printing currently enjoyed by the Government Printing Office (GPO).
The OMB directive would eliminate GPO's role as a broker and allow private firms to bid for printing contracts directly from federal agencies and departments.
According to Mitchell Daniels, OMB director, opening the $500 million in federal printing to competition could save the government between $50 million and $70 million, the amount of money GPO charges to private printing vendors for jobs it outsources. Among the charges and discount benefits the GPO enjoys is a 7 percent premium on top of the cost of private printing, and 14 percent on lead times, which is charged to the federal department or agency; a processing fee of $7.50 to $15 per order; and GPO keeps prompt payment discounts, about 5 percent, from private printers rather than passing the savings on to the department or agency.
Exact billing figures appears to be a bone of contention. Andrew Sherman, GPO director of congressional and public affairs, told In-Plant Graphics that GPO reached revenues of just over $431 million during fiscal year 2001, and that its surcharge revenues checked in at $32.5 million, considerably less than the OMB's directive quoted.
In cutting GPO out of the equation, Sherman notes that agencies would still have to pay the fees, which would be higher in the absence of the economies of scale from GPO's term contracts. As for the prompt payment discounts, Sherman feels his agency earns it by paying vendors promptly from its revolving fund while the federal agencies can be quite slow to pay their GPO bills.
The GPO, which bids out about 85 percent of its work, also tends to the depositing of federal records in more than 1,300 libraries.
Many of the printers who procure jobs via the GPO are smaller shops, and the prevailing theory is that in having agencies and departments bid out their jobs, only larger printers with sales forces in a particular city will have access to these bids.
Ben Cooper, executive vice president for the Printing Industries of America, expressed his concerns regarding the printing procurement process in a letter to Daniels. Cooper wrote that, even with the fees, the GPO is "generally able to buy printing at the lowest possible price."
Cooper suggested several areas for possible change, including the development of printing and publishing plans as part of the federal budget process, as well as a plan for printing procurement within the executive branch that assures fair and open competition.

Dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy
Other Names for this Disease
- Ataxia, chorea, seizures, and dementia
- Dentatorubral pallidoluysian atrophy
- Dentatorubropallidoluysian atrophy
- Haw River syndrome
What are the signs and symptoms of dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA)?
What causes dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA)?
How is dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) inherited?
How might dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) be treated?
What is dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy?
What are the signs and symptoms of dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA)?
When DRPLA appears before age 20, it most often involves episodes of involuntary muscle jerking or twitching (myoclonus); seizures; behavioral changes; intellectual disability; and problems with balance and coordination (ataxia).[1] Epileptic seizures occur in all individuals with onset before 20 years of age.[3]
When DRPLA begins after age 20, the most frequent signs and symptoms are ataxia; uncontrollable movements of the limbs (choreoathetosis); psychiatric symptoms such as delusions; and deterioration of intellectual function (dementia).[1] Seizures are less frequent in individuals with onset between the ages of 20 and 40. Seizures are rare in individuals with onset after age 40.[3]
Individuals who have inherited the condition from an affected parent typically have symptoms 26 to 29 years earlier than affected fathers, and 14 to 15 years earlier than affected mothers.[3]
What causes dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA)?
DRPLA is caused by a mutation in the ATN1 gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called atrophin 1. Although the function of atrophin 1 is unclear, it likely plays an important role in nerve cells (neurons) in many areas of the brain.[1]
The ATN1 mutation that causes DRPLA involves a DNA segment known as a CAG trinucleotide repeat. This segment is made up of a series of three DNA building blocks (cytosine, adenine, and guanine) that appear multiple times in a row on the gene. Normally, this CAG segment is repeated 6 to 35 times within the ATN1 gene. In people with DRPLA, the CAG segment is repeated at least 48 times (and sometimes much more). The abnormally long CAG trinucleotide repeat changes the structure of the atrophin 1 protein, which then accumulates in neurons and interferes with normal cell functions. The dysfunction and eventual death of these neurons lead to the signs and symptoms associated with DRPLA.[1]
How is dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) inherited?
DRPLA is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means that one copy of the mutated gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. The condition may be inherited from an affected parent or may occur for the first time in the affected individual. In most cases, an affected person has one parent with the condition.[1]
The CAG trinucleotide repeat in the ATN1 gene often increases in size (resulting in a greater number of repeats) when the mutated gene is transmitted from a parent to a child. This "instability" during transmission of the gene results in a phenomenon called anticipation.[3] This means that larger repeat expansions in subsequent generations are usually associated with an earlier onset of the condition and more severe signs and symptoms. Anticipation seen in DRPLA tends to be more prominent when the ATN1 gene is inherited from a person's father (paternal inheritance) than when it is inherited from a person's mother (maternal inheritance).[1] Affected offspring typically have symptoms 26 to 29 years earlier than affected fathers and 14 to 15 years earlier than affected mothers.[3]
How might dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) be treated?
- Treatment of seizures with anti-epileptic drugs
- Treatment of psychiatric problems with appropriate psychotropic medications
- Adaptation of environment and care to the level of dementia
- Adaptation of educational programs for affected children.

Every day when I get out of bed I thank God for another day of life, for the opportunity to live in the greatest nation in the world and for the opportunity to be of service to my fellow man.
It took me many years to finally realize that the key to success and happiness is to forget myself, my needs, my wants and to be about the business of serving God by helping those in the world around me. This is the source of all true and lasting rewards, and I hope you have also made this discovery.
As it relates to serving others, I got a letter the other day from a man who said he had a burning desire to help kids. He has a serious problem, however, because he is sitting in a cell on Death Row in a prison in one of our Southern states. Over the years, I have heard from many prison inmates who have told me some sad stories, but until I got this letter I had never heard from an inmate on Death Row. It gave me an eerie feeling to know that I was communicating with someone who may be nearing the end of his days on earth and would be put to death for a crime he had committed.
Actually, John (not his real name) has written me twice. After he wrote me the first time I sent him a copy of one of my books because I thought it would give him something positive to think about as he passed his time away. When he wrote me back, he was really excited because inmates are not supposed to receive books unless they had been pre-approved, but the mail guard brought him my book with the request that he also wanted to read it.
It was in his second letter that he poured out his heart to me and told me that he wanted badly to help kids. He said, "I am not interested in getting out of prison, but I can relate to kids who are on drugs, homeless and abused."
There is no way for me to know how much good it will do, but I know there are many young people who read my column, along with thousands and thousands of parents and grandparents. While most of these young people are not in trouble, some are and many others are living on the edge. I realize that what I say in this realm may not carry much weight, but maybe, just maybe, words from an inmate on Death Row may have a way of reaching some people before it's too late. It is already too late for John, and for me that is so sad.
Here is a portion of John's letter that will let you know exactly where he is and how he got there.
"You see, Jim, I can relate to kids that's messed up on drugs, homeless, abused kids. By the time I was 12 or 13 years old, I got busted for the first time for selling 2 pounds of weed. I went on from there to get kicked out of school at age 15 for drugs. I went from that to age 20 and I killed a man for drugs. From age 20, I came here to Death Row. But I was still heavy into drugs. I got busted in here back in January for meth, and while I was doing my 30 days in the hole, I started reading my Bible.
"I wanted to change. I wanted a better life. So before I came out of the hole, I was determined to stop using drugs. Well, just as soon as I got out of the hole, my 'then' friends were waiting for me and they gave me some dope. Well, I threw it on my cabinet and was determined not to do it. But it kept calling me and I fired up one of the joints. I took one drag and I got so mad at myself. I threw it away! Then I got down on my knees and I cried and cried out to God. I cried for Jesus to come into my life and help me. I don't know how long I was on that floor weeping. But when I came up I was a new man. Praise God for His Holy Spirit is truly in me. From that time on I have been moving forward.
"I have lost all of those so-called friends. They don't come around me any more. I have also lost a lot of my friends on the street. They don't want to hear the truth about how great God is. He has already opened many doors for me."
That's basically the end of John's story and he says he wants to help kids. He has no earthly idea that I am writing this column to share his story. Whether he realizes it or not, he is helping kids.
If parents and grandparents who are reading this true-life story cannot see the dangers of drugs and what they can do to a person's life, then sadly it's too late for them, as well.
When it comes to John's newfound faith, I'm well aware that over the years there have been millions of "jailhouse" conversions and I don't know whether his was real or not.
God knows we can lie to other people, but we can't lie to God. Personally, I'm just glad there is a God in heaven that we can cry out to when we are in the depths of despair.

Small companies can have big-company safety programs.
Workplace accidents can be expensive, both in terms of dollars lost and the human suffering involved. But many companies don't need a full-time safety director, which is why Lanny R. Berke, president of Safety Solutions of Minnesota Inc. in Plymouth, Minnesota, created the External Safety Director (ESD).
According to Berke, hiring an ESD allows a company to have a safety director without hiring a person for that job. Berke's services include safety reviews, workplace safety programs and products, accident and hazardous situation prevention, new product hazard analysis, and training.
Although it's impossible to measure the impact of accidents that don't happen, Berke points out that few companies are immune to the repercussions of potentially crippling litigation after an incident or citations by federal agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or Consumer Products Safety Commission.
"I help companies identify and eliminate hazards and risky situations, I develop and establish the programs they need, and I train their employees to keep them going," Berke says. "My intent is to work myself out of a job as quickly as I can."
To find a safety consultant, Berke recommends asking colleagues for recommendations. Then ask candidates for details of what they'll do for you, request and check their references, and evaluate their credentials and experience.

Every writer has a different story about how they got started – and each story will inspire you in a different way.
Here, a guest author shares how seven successful authors started their writing careers…
Whether you're a budding writer aspiring get published or curious about the mind from which your favourite story came, then huddle round as Christie Cluett tells you the story of how some of the world's most famous authors began. She writes for GKBC.
When Harry Potter became a worldwide sensation J. K. Rowling was thrust into the limelight. Many people know her 'rags to riches' story and some may even know where she went to school, how she takes her coffee and what's in her bins, but there are plenty of other authors waiting in the wings to reveal the secrets of their illustrious beginnings.
To learn more about how this successful author got her start, read How J.K. Rowling Followed Her Heart to Fame and Fortune.
And, here are snippets of the lives of six other successful writers…
Early Starters
Some novelists' first words were probably at least four syllables. Noted children's writer Jacqueline Wilson got started early, having written her first 18-page novel by the age of nine. She clocked up an impressive 40 books before the massive success of her most famous creation, Tracey Beaker.
Though, compared to Christopher Paolini she's a slow learner. He wrote the first draft of his trilogy of novels, The Inheritance Cycle, at the tender age of 15. An example to all of us who were too busy looking moody at school discos!
Backed by a supportive family, he self-published it in 2001 at the grand old age of 18, promoting the book at libraries, bookshops and schools dressed in a medieval outfit. The book finally came to the attention of a publisher and went on to become a best-selling, four-book series.
Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll
No art-form is complete without its black sheep and this is where you'll find them, at the end of a dark alley, in an establishment few people dare to enter, scribbling notes on the back of a receipt.
Like many others, Hunter S Thompson's writing career began as a journalist but soon swerved off-course. Gonzo journalism was born during an article he was writing on the Kentucky Derby. Having become so involved, the piece ended up being more about his turbulent time watching the race, fuelled by alcohol and drugs, rather than the event itself.
Throughout his career Thompson crossed back and forth between observer and participant, writing Hell's Angels and most famously leaving readers questioning reality and fantasy in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Edgar Allen Poe was also known for his errant ways, portrayed as a womanising, drunken madman. The original starving artist, he resorted to gambling and burning his furniture in order to survive. His famous poem, The Raven, only earned him $9, not enough to save the table, or the chairs.
However it's thought his wild persona was created in his obituary as revenge for Poe's harsh critique. Poe's soul had the last laugh though, as his new bad boy reputation lifted sales of his books through the roof.
Write What You Know
Most advice on how to become a writer will include the old adage of writing about what you know. If your life is a tumultuous whirl of intrigue and mystery then so much the better.
John Le Carre writes from experience and it shows. His books draw you into a world of conspiracy while wearing a beige Mac and whispering to you from behind bookshelves. Le Carre insists that he was never a spy, however to those of us without a secret handshake, flashing his MI5 credentials would be enough to make most of us admit to anything.
The most famous spy of all, James Bond, was born out of Ian Fleming's time working in British Naval Intelligence during the Second World War. Fleming's own codename was 17F, which sounds more like a cleaner's store room than a deadly assassin.
For Agent 007, Fleming combined the characteristics of all the secret agents he met, shaken obviously but not stirred. He wrote Casino Royale after the war at his Goldeneye estate in Jamaica – which he had built himself – and this was the first step in a series of books that would cement James Bond into popular culture.
Are You Headed to Fame and Fortune?
It seems that whoever you are, from the halls of the secret service to the smoke-filled dens of iniquity, life is providing you with excellent fodder for your stories, tales and yarns. For those aspiring writers among you this could be the basis of your first novel, for others simply the source of your best anecdotes.

7 Responses to "How 7 Successful Authors Got Their Start"
Thanks for sharing this. This is a good list of authors, thank you.
What I feel saddening (or makes me melancholic if sad is too heavy a word) is the fact that many writers never receive the due appreciation and often one writer encashes one good work and keeps on selling rather crappy write ups later. There are some platforms working to bring unknown authors to the forefront. Not saying that all these writers deserve appreciation but we cant discard them without trying out either.
There are probably as many different stories of writers paths to success as there are successful authors. Though they are all a bit different they all more than likely have one common attribute. The writers found a way to find and capture readers.
Thanks for contributing this article! It was interesting to read how authors – some I've never even heard of – got started in the biz. It gives me hope for the future
What are your plans – are you pursuing a writing career?
All good things,
Laurie -
Hi Christie,
This is a good list of authors, thank you. My favorite writer is Julia Cameron, especially because she encourages new writers to find mentors to help them stay motivated to write.
She said, "You are on the look out for experience, strength, and hope. You want to hear from the horse's mouth exactly how disappointments have been survived. It helps to know that the greats have had hard times too and that your own hard times merely make you part of the club."
If you can find a writing mentor, you'll be more inspired than if you just learn about authors who succeeded.
Michelle, I completely agree. It's difficult to know who to include as a writer's path to success is never easy.
There were loads of amazing authors that got the chop. Stephen King has a great story, you're right. Once he got going though, there was no stopping him. He had to come up with a pseudonym, Richard Bachman, to help take the strain of how much he was producing! -
You're forgotten to add Stephen King to the list. His first book received 30 rejections, causing him to give up and throw it in the trash. His wife fished it out and encouraged him to resubmit it, and the rest is history! behind every great man, is a great woman!

TUCSON - Gusty winds in May are a dime a dozen. Storm chances are much rarer. Both are in the forecast.
Expect southwest winds up to 25 MPH today, according to News 4 Meteorologist Jeff Beamish. Mostly sunny skies are on tap this afternoon as highs reach the low 90's. Winds subside after sunset this evening.
A slow moving low pressure center taps into enough moisture to spark a few thunderstorms late tomorrow afternoon through Saturday. Dry air at the valley floors means little rainfall is anticipated. It also means the wildfire threat increases due to lightning strikes.
High pressure regains control of the weather early next week, driving temps near triple digits for Memorial Day.
Watch Jeff for a complete look at your True View 4 forecast today on News 4 Tucson at Noon.

The National Day of Prayer for Mental Illness Recovery and Understanding has been designated as the Tuesday of Mental Illness Awareness Week, which is the first full week in October. This year, the date is Oct. 4, 2011. Mental illness networks and faith leaders are urged to work together so that they may recognize and prepare for this day in a way that works best for each faith community. The prayers and actions of both faith communities and secular organizations (e.g. the National Alliance on Mental Illness, National Mental Health Association, Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation, Anxiety Disorders Association of America , etc.) are needed to restore mental wellness in America. By seeking God's guidance we can recommit ourselves to replacing misinformation, blame, fear and prejudice with truth and love in order to offer hope to all who are touched by mental illness.
Community Mental Illness Networks.Below are a number of resources to support your outreach efforts, including:
People do care. Somehow we must get the opportunity to communicate to them how important they are in the lives of those affected by mental illness. Celebration of the importance of prayer in recovery from mental illness and in the ability to meet the challenges of having a family member with one of these disorders is an opportunity for our congregations to show their love and concern.
When discussing this special day with your clergy person or lay leader, don't simply ask her or him to do it. Instead, ask what you should do to promote this day in your congregation. Members of the clergy and lay leaders are almost always overworked. They are looking for members of their congregations who are willing to be leaders in ministry.
Ask for the privilege of giving an announcement to your entire congregation concerning Mental Illness Awareness Week and The National Day of Prayer for Mental Illness Recovery and Understanding. It is great when we have the opportunity to give presentations to those affected by mental illness, but it is much greater when we have the opportunity to speak with those who do not have personal experience with these disorders.
When speaking to your clergy persons and members of your congregation, speak from your heart. Tell them how important your faith and the use of prayer are in your recovery from your mental illness or in your ability to cope with the challenges of having a loved one with one of these "No Fault Disorders."
For certain, prayer is the first step in getting your congregation involved.
There is not just one way that this day should be celebrated You are encouraged to do so in a manner in which you and your fellow parishioners are comfortable.
It would be wonderful if you are able to arrange to have a prayer service on the Tuesday of Mental Illness Awareness Week. Equally wonderful would be for your congregation to have a special prayer for Mental Illness Recovery and Wellness in a regular worship service during the week of October 2-8, 2008.
Having those with a mental illness and their families lifted up in prayer is important. Prayer does work.
Hopefully the interfaith bulletin insert and responsive reading copied below will give you ideas for your congregation. Also, please click the link under "Related Resources" to download a document assembled by Mental Health Ministries containing a responsive Prayer of Confession, a Pastoral Prayer, and a litany for a candlelight service.
For additional examples of services please explore NAMI FaithNet's website, particularly the Worship Services and the Faith & Mental Illness pages. Also please explore the all the excellent national networks listed on NAMI Faithnet's Related Links page and particularly the websites of Pathways to Promise, and Mental Health Ministries.
Prayer: Margaret Ann Holt, UMC
O, God, we gather here together today, as people from many different faith communities. We come before You, remembering all those persons whose lives have been touched by mental illnesses. We give thanks for those persons here who have given of their time and talents to do what they are able to help persons who are dealing with mental illnesses in their lives and in the lives of their families and friends. We give thanks for the improvement in medication and treatment programs that have enabled persons with mental illnesses to live productive lives. We pray that our society would do everything possible to make early diagnosis and treatment a standard operating procedure. We pray and ask that stigma be removed, so that persons and their families would get the appropriate help as soon as symptoms appear. Guide each one of us, and help us, as we endeavor to bring help and hope to those families and individuals. Amen
Read in unison:
The faith community says to those people who suffer from the symptoms of mental illness, and to their family members:
We will walk with you. And God walks with you. You will not go through this alone.
Pray in unison:
O Lord, you have searched us and known us
You know when we sit down and when we rise up,

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
Think of the membership process as a continuous flow, from the time a person first learns about a particular UU church, to the first visit, to the return and subsequent visits, decision to become a member, becoming connected and active in that church, to leaving it through inactivity, moving away, or death. The membership journey, for an individual or a family, might resemble a diagram of intersecting circles (PDF).
Though every prospective member is slightly different and has their own timetable and decision-making process, collectively there are ways to measure the progress of a group through this process:
Why would a church want to collect data like this? Because these numbers can help a congregation determine where in the membership journey they should focus their efforts. Using membership data can be very helpful. And when this data is collected and compiled nationally it can be "normalized," that is to say that it can be converted to a ratio that can be compared to a standard range, so churches can compare themselves to this range and determine if they are typical. This may help them identify where they are not typical, and if appropriate direct their efforts towards the areas where they would get the greatest benefit. To use the car example again, cars come in many different sizes, weights, and fuel tank sizes - but if what you care about is fuel efficiency, you can easily compare very different cars by looking at the ratio of "miles per gallon."
These kinds of concepts, collectively referred to as process improvement, have enabled many industries to make significant improvements to their operations, and can be applied successfully to any process, in other words anything with a continuous flow proceeding through several steps.
These tools are meant to be indicators, and unusual circumstances can often distort the results. They are continuing to be refined, using "real life" data about what can be accomplished in a liberal religious setting.

Although many people probably already believe that business cards are obsolete, there are many more who have not yet adopted that viewpoint and so I would like to present a bridge between those two opposing sides: the Novac Simply Scan. This mini scanner is perfect for those who have completely embraced the digital age that is upon us.
The Novac Simply Scan is small enough for a business card to nestle perfectly within its embrace. Interestingly enough, it doesn't perform like a scanner, though. Instead, it takes a photo of the card and then uploads it into your address book using OCR software.
Unfortunately, the Novac Simply Scan is compatibly only with Windows-based PCs. It is priced at approximately $120. A small cost for a paper-free existence.

Amazing finishing powder, controls oil, blurs imperfections. Barely tinted, does not show up as a color for me, and I'm fair to medium. No need for it to perfect pores, because their foundation is so amazing, it does it for them. Not glittery or shimmery, although they say it has a slight shimmer. Does not get cakey or leave an obvious powdery finish. Great stuff. Will purchase again and again.

Healthy Snacks for a Day at the Beach
by Katie Cavuto-Boyle in Uncategorized, August 11, 2012
About 2 hours into my first day on the beach this summer I realized I had not planned well. The ice cream man began ringing his bell which automatically triggered my hunger. I dug through my beach bag and found nothing resembling food. After taking a swig of warm water from my half-filled water bottle I realized I needed to plan a bit better for my next day in the sun.
It's easy to crave to junk food when on vacation or stranded on the beach for several hours. For me, packing healthy snacks is the way to go especially because the last thing I want is to feel bloated or sluggish in my bikini. Here are my picks for beach-friendly snacks that can translate easily into options for any outdoor outing this summer.

The San Jose Sharks recently acquired James Sheppard from the Minnesota Wild for a third round pick. Wild fans are positively giddy about the deal. Sharks fans are somewhat confused.
And for seemingly good reason. As Bryan Reynolds notes from the link above:
One season in the Q that showed any real promise, ninth overall pick, thrown into the NHL without earning the spot, development completely ruined by the HWSRN regime, a career on a downward spiral, all fittingly punctuated by an ATV accident during a training trip to Colorado that ended his make or break season before it ever started. James Sheppard has been a punchline in Minnesota for nearly seven years, and Chuck Fletcher got something of value in return for him.
Well done, Mr. Fletcher. Well done, indeed.
To Sharks fans, we offer our sincere thanks, and our deepest sympathies. What your general manager sees in James Sheppard escapes me. Six points in 64 games in his last season played, with no real hint at anything more before that crash does not tell me that there is lighting in that bottle. If Wilson wanted a helium balloon on the ice, I'm thinking a trip to the local party supply store would have been cheaper.
The bolded portion can't be overemphasized. James Sheppard stands as singular case study of how not to develop young players or leverage an entry level contract in the NHL.
Chosen 9th overall in 2006 after scoring 30 goals and 84 points in the QMJHL, Sheppard increased his point total the next season to 96 and looked like a decent value top-10 choice. He made the Wild out of camp as a teen in 2007-08, scoring just four goals and 19 points in 78-games. He would manage just 30-points over his next 146 NHL games before being felled by the aforementioned ATV accident. So what happened?
The Wild took a kid just finding his legs and threw him into the deep end of the pool. With a piano tied to his ankle. The only season he was given a fighting chance was his rookie year, when Lemaire gave Sheppard some protection: relatively easy zone starts (50.4%) and soft competition. That year, Sheppard had the fourth best relative corsi rate on his club, behind only PM Bouchard, Brian Rolston and Mikko Koivu. He didn't score a whole lot, but at least he was keeping his head above water possession-wise.
The next season, however, Lemaire decided that his 20-year old sophomore was going to become a checking center. Sheppard's quality of competition rose to middling and his offensive-to-defensive zone start ratio sank to just 39.1%. Those are tough circumstances for most veterans, nevermind a guy who can't legally drink in the United States. Sheppard's corsi and production predictably fell at even strength. The 2009-10 season was more of the same: middle level competition and a zone start (39.7%) that all but guaranteed Sheppard would have to battle up hill most of the time. His PP time also sank to just 19 seconds per game. With about 11 minutes of ice night total (much of it starting in his own zone), it's no wonder Sheppard scored a measly 10 points as a 22-year old. The deck was completely stacked against him.
It usually doesn't make sense to rush a teen to the big league. Very few of them are capable of handling the competition, so it's typically better to delay their rookie season as long as possible in order to properly leverage their ELC. NHL players first contract is artificially capped under the current CBA, meaning kids can be a great place to find cap value if they are developed and managed properly. I don't know if Lemaire was going with "the hottest fires forge the hardest steal" kind of plan when he threw Sheppard to the wolves, but all it did was sink the kid, waste the last two seasons of his ELC and damage the perception of his abilities to the degree that Minnesota fans are happily high-fiving each other because their GM moved a 23-year old former top-10 pick for a lottery ticket.
It's hard to say what kind of asset the Sharks have on their hands. Sheppard spent his few first years in the league playing well over his head and his development was further hampered by an injury that wiped out an entire season. It's possible, given better circumstances, that Sheppard will get back on track and start fulfilling some of the promise he showed as a high scoring center in junior. It's also possible, of course, that he's irreparably damaged goods.

I was raised with the understanding that a job is a job. As long as you're doing work for a paycheck, it's technically a job. If you can manage to earn enough money to pay for nice things, it's a really good job. You could be working in a mall or in a school or for the government — which my Dad did for 30 years.
But government work isn't a real job, evidently. Because somehow if the government creates a position — a job — they're not creating jobs.
Here's Florida governor Rick Scott to explain:
In Florida, unemployment rate's gone from 12 percent down to 10.7. We're still above the national average, but we've generated 87,200 private sector jobs — private sector! And we have 15,000 less government jobs in the state of Florida. [Applause] Government doesn't create jobs.
So unemployment is bad. Check. And in order to remedy this, he fired 15,000 people? People in government jobs that the government didn't create somehow?
Rick Scott is clearly living in another dimension of reality in which jobs that are created and then taken away weren't created by the entity that created them.
My brain hurts.

I'm a stay at home mom of 2 (one of each), wife, doggy mom, and volunteer. I don't do much of the stay at home part of my job, but love every minute of it! I like to travel and try new things. I collect cookbooks...and try to use them all. I'm passionate about my kids and my volunteer work. I helped start up an organization called Arlington's Kids' Kloset. We give clothes 2x a year to kids in the school district who are on the free and reduced lunch program. Lots of hours, but when I watch a child leave with a huge bag of clothes and new shoes it fills me with pride. My kids (6 and 10) also volunteer with me.
Some of my past times...I love to go to hockey game (GO SILVERTIPS!)with my husband, and sometimes kids too. Not much extra time during the school year - soccer, basketball, baseball - but I read when ever I have a spare minute.
I really can't choose a favorite food. Things I like to eat regularly....popcorn, jalepeno poppers, pickles, green olives,and lupini beans.
It's hard to pick a favorite resturant. I love to eat breakfast at a local hole in the wall called Linda's. Mismatched coffee cups and the best hashbrowns.
My favorite margarita is hands down the "perfect margarita" on the rocks, with green olives from Applebee's.
I'll try any place, and usually more than once.
