Feel Your Way onto the Bestseller Lists
Every year for as long as I can remember, I've lit a candle, gotten cozy, and listed my yearly goals on pretty paper. I do this twice a year, in fact — once on my birthday in late summer, and again before midnight on New Year's Eve. My success rate is pretty decent with these things, which is why I keep doing them.
But I've gotta admit that these lists (and making them) has increasingly bored the crap out of me. So much so that this year on my birthday, I barely did it — gave myself maybe 10 minutes to script down a few ideas before I could get back to having real fun. It felt obligatory vs. celebratory, which made me a bit sad.
I wanted to feel, as always, continued (and even more) creative fulfillment, connection with loved ones, vibrant health, and financial freedom.
The problem? I didn't feel inspired by putting those desires down as is, nor alongside things like, "I'd like a bigger refrigerator," "to get more organized," and "to read a novel uninterrupted under a palm tree."
I was thinking, "These goal lists used to be fun, but they really aren't anymore. I wonder how I can get the magic back?" In an attempt to inject the joy back into this once beloved practice for this coming New Year's (which was only four months away at the time), I bought a new journal and an expensive 18-karat, gold-tipped fountain pen in Carmel in which to script my newest desires. But the excitement quickly wore off.
Next, I bought a bigger journal hoping that would help. But after a day, I could tell it wouldn't and gave it away. Then, I bought a really BIG artist's portfolio sketchpad with a leather case and a heavy handle, hoping the size and weight would ramp up my enthusiasm. It did. For about three days. Until I turned it into a diary.
I was back to being frustrated about what I was going to do about my lackluster vision for visioning my future list on December 31st.
Then lightening struck.
Well, really it was just Danielle LaPorte, who I guess you could say feels like lightening. I'm sure you've heard of her. Among many other things, Danielle is my co-author for Your Big Beautiful Book Plan and the bestselling author of The Fire Starter Sessions (Crown Archetype).
Over the past two years, she'd shared with me that she was developing a new way of goal making called "The Desire Map", but we were always busy chatting about other things and I didn't get the skinny.
Danielle recently showed me a preview, however, and I about lost it. I literally had tears running down my face. She'd nailed exactly what I'd wanted but couldn't find. What I'd needed, but didn't know could exist. That's because it wasn't yet in physical form. Until now.
If you've been on my newsletter list for a long time (you are a subscriber, right… if not, click here to sign up), you'll probably remember a blog I posted a few years ago where I talked about infusing your publishing goals with feeling. I included a list of my most favorite publishing moments — the types of things you dream about experiencing when you're still unpublished (or, God forbid, your book came out, but you've yet to experience many of your publishing goals).
My desire was (and is) to share inspiring visuals for what you have to look forward to.
Each dreamy moment was a real-life success I'd experienced, and I hoped would elicit deep and profound feelings inside of you. I'll include that list below, in case it comes in handy when creating your very own Desire Map.
Let me close by saying that the idea that Feelings fuel our ability to manifest isn't a totally new one. But how are you supposed to structure this feeling/desired-centered way of creating? It all sounds very illusive, doesn't it? And tricky to stick with, seeing as how our emotions and attention spans are so fleeting. Being the maverick visionary that Danielle is, she's figured out a way to add the structure, hand holding, and magic to this all-so-important mapping of our desires business. That's what's very, very new.
I can't wait to open my copy of The Desire Map this week and dive in deep. Let's do it together! Leave me comments about how it's going for you, and I'll do the same. And, to help juice you, here's the list of some of my past (and some recent) goose-bump publishing moments–that, no surprise, were fueled by a lifelong desire to FEEL the freedom of living life as a working writer… since as far back as I can remember.
May the items on this list give you an even clearer idea of what the writing life looks and feels like for those of us living the dream, and what you want to experience and feel on your path to bestsellerdom.
… getting a call from a top NY agent that he's read my work and wants to rep me.
… said agent flies out to visit me, and sits a spell — gifts in tow.
… hearing Mr. Agent on the other end of the line, saying: "You've got a book deal!"
… flying to the East Coast to meet with my publisher/editor, and sitting with fourteen executives in their conference room before being wined and dined by all of them at a nearby restaurant.
… holding my first book in my hands at a publishing conference… no words.
… media tour… radio, national TV, book signings, limos, green rooms, make up, hair, fruit baskets, congrats from nursery school chums and old boyfriends — weird/surreal.
… sleeping in gorgeous hotels and chillin' on my agents' couch (surrounded by mountains of manuscripts).
… podiums. Interviews. Standing O's. Paychecks. Lines of happy readers sharing the love. Sweet dreams and new book ideas.
… seeing my work in magazines, newspapers, online, and displayed in bookstore windows.
… wanting to write a column and soon afterward getting a magazine gig doing just that.
… gig turns into West Coast Editor, flights to big cities, interviews with icons, and years of cover stories.
… reading book excerpts, my son and family beaming from the front row.
… getting stopped by strangers… "Didn't I just see you on CNN yesterday?"
… making the bestseller lists, big and small/sweet.
… more book offers.
… taking my son to Simon & Schuster, where 20+ people file out to hug and love on us—giddy mother and son… before an amazing group meal at a trendy restaurant (gotta love these foodie publishers!).
… being handed the NYT bestseller list, where I was totally shocked to see my name… then came the congratulation calls and the tears.
… book and magazine awards. A university award, even though I never graduated.
… opening fan letters from old people, grateful people, kids who say they'll live differently because of what they've just read. Whoa.
… more bestsellers. More awards. More ease, peace, downtime.
… writing retreats and new friends joining me from around the globe.
… people I admire suddenly following me on twitter.
… people who used to judge me now wanting to be friends.
… people I admire calling to tell me they want to work with me.
… being named one of the best on the web. Talk about goosebumps!
… showing my son by example that he can do whatever his heart desires.
It all started with one dream, one chapter, one book, one agent, one publisher, and a HUGE AMOUNT OF DESIRE. While your road to publishing has its unique footprint, remember the feelings you're going for. In your desire to see your book in print, for example, how do you want to feel when your agent calls with the great news? How do you want to feel knowing that the details of your life experience are now out in the world helping others heal? How do you want to feel when you see your name atop the New York Times bestseller list week after week? Fun, right? Oh yea.
That's where the juice is — the feeling. That's what matters.
Let's do this. Together. (Even before New Year's.) It's going to be big. I can't wait!

That is where the juice is. The creative juices flowing what a great gift to begin the new year. I can't wait to open the email and keep inspired. And the last line on your list, showing (your son) all our children that they can do whatever their heart desires. Thanks Linda and congrats on your Best on the Web.
And thank Danielle.
Linda–Your writing is as yummy as you are in person (sign up for a retreat if you haven't been!!!) What do I feel when I imagine my writing future? The moment I get my book deal? Electricity up and down my spine, giggles burbling up from my soul, and the tickle of fine champagne in my mouth. xxoo
Linda, thank you so much for this post! You just added some serious fuel to my heart!
I can see my book floating in the Universe, being manifested without form (yet). All I need to do is to connect within and up, and bring the book down into paper. This post is what I needed to read to glue my butt to the chair and make this happen!
Thank you for so much inspiration!
Loving you,
You had me at "woo-woo nut ball California style." Loved it!! xxoo
There's nothing better than desire. So excited to see Danielle harness its power and give us permission to own it, use it, love it. A breath of fresh air. :)
You and Danielle have inspired my book project beyond all imagination with Your Big Beautiful Book Plan and I am ON FIRE with my baby (who is still an embryo at this stage but growing day by day). Can't wait to dive into The Desire Map. It sounds life changing. I live in Spain but fantasize about one of your retreats one day… x
Beautifully said, Linda! Feeling and thinking positively is the source of unlimited power, as I've discovered in my real life. 2012 has been the best year ever… I've manifested a beautiful romantic partnership, I've created fantastic marketing materials for my book project, and I've got a vision board on my wall that will help me hit #1 on the NYT Bestseller list someday. And much of this has happened because of your fantastic support, coaching, love, and brilliant insights into publishing. (Okay, you don't get credit for my new romance, but definitely the rest…) You're awesome!
I have books published and royalty streams, but little residual joy. After too many years of emotional exile, it's time to dream again. I need a fairy, a mama, a mid-wife, a juice machine, heaps of delight and enthusiasm. Since I subscribed to your posts, Linda, you've been just that for me. Thank you!
I love this! So glad that you found some new inspiration from Danielle. I've been writing these lists for as long as I remember too and am amazed how well the small amount of visualization pays off. I just wanted to say, I totally think its okay to have "inspire millions" next to "get a new refrigerator" on your list. Those day to day things are what build your life and world so that you can accomplish the big stuff after all. :) Hope I can make it to one of your retreats one day! Thanks for posting this!
I am actually happy to read this weblog posts which carries lots of helpful
data, thanks for providing these kinds of statistics.

Having suffered through yet another week of dark clouds and cool rain, Southwest Washington can expect a weekend of warm — but temporary — spring weather.
Forecasters expect a high in the 70s today, and it might get close to the 80-degree mark Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Partly to mostly sunny skies are expected both days.
If so, this weekend will be the warmest of the year thus far. But it won't be the first time Vancouver has cracked 70 in 2012. Pearson Field recorded a high temperature of 71 on Easter Sunday.
The shot of warmth likely won't set any records, either. Vancouver's record high for April 21 is 88 degrees, set in 1947. For April 22, the city's all-time high is 84 in 1910, according to the weather service.
This weekend, the area likely will top out in the high 70s. But don't expect to hear much complaining.
"People will take that," said Kirsten Elson, a forecaster with the weather service in Portland.
The run of beautiful weather should last only through Monday, when the weather service predicts a high of 76 under partly sunny skies. Then it's back to clouds, showers, and cooler temperatures through much of next week.

Share your craze for shopping with us...
My close ones say that I have a fetish for collecting sunglasses but I call it my love for shades and fashion. I have over 40 sunglasses from different countries, cities and brands.

How often do you go for shopping?
I make it a point that I go for shopping at least once in a week.
What is your dream shopping destination?
My dream shopping destination is London and New York.
Where do you prefer shopping in Mumbai?
I prefer shopping at Infinity2 Mall in Malad and Palladium Mall in Lower Parel. They have the best brands available.
Are you brand loyal? What are your favourite brands?
Yes, I'm very much brand loyal. I love Diesel and Police Brand in glares, in clothing I like Zara and Sisley. When it comes to shoes, I prefer Hugo boss and Aldo shows.
One color you tend to pick up the most?
I tend to pick up more of Black stuff.
Quik Fire: What would you buy?
If given Rs. 10:My favourite candy
If given Rs.100: A nice keyring for my car keys
If given Rs. 1000: A couple of my favourite music Cds
If given Rs.1 Lakh: I will surely invest in gold
If given Rs. 1 Crore: I'll go for a world tour and save a part of it for my future

Don't be fooled by the lack of snow the past few days — roads still have plenty of slick spots that can send drivers off the side and into ditches.
And the roads will be especially dangerous today as another round of subzero temperatures rolls through.
Temperatures today aren't expected to climb above the single digits and will fall to zero tonight. Wind chills will be even harsher, about minus 25 today and between 10 and 15 below zero tonight, National Weather Service meteorologist Marc Dahmer said.
That's why drivers need to keep blankets, layers of clothes and a cellphone charger in their cars, Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox and White River Township Fire Department Chief Jeremy Pell advised.
They also recommended, if possible, that people stay home until the cold front leaves the area on Wednesday.
From Friday morning through Sunday morning the Johnson County Sheriff's Office helped 33 drivers who slid off the road and received calls about 28 vehicle accidents, including three in which people were injured, Cox said. That's surprising considering how little snow fell over the weekend, he said.
But when high winds start blowing, snow that's been on the ground for days can limit visibility and cause drivers to lose control. Winds of 5 to 8 mph are expected today, and drivers need to be prepared to keep warm and contact emergency crews if they get stuck today, Cox said.
"Mother Nature keeps dishing it out, and we keep taking it. Unfortunately we've got to go with the flow," Cox said.
Franklin and Greenwood city officials will be watching today to see if the bitter cold and winds snap electrical lines and cause any residents to lose power. If that happens, both cities are prepared to open up city-owned buildings, including recreation centers, and to partner with schools so anyone who loses power for longer than an hour has a place to go to stay warm, Franklin Mayor Joe McGuinness and Greenwood deputy mayor Terry McLaughlin said.
About 1,100 Franklin residents lost power for about an hour-and-a-half on Friday, and when that happened, the city opened up a warming center at the city's recreation center until service was restored, McGuinness said.
City governments and area hospitals expect to be open during normal hours today, but trash won't be picked up in Franklin.
Local schools once again had to consider whether to delay or cancel school, a decision that has been made every week this month because of snowstorms and cold weather. Schools don't have to make up the time lost in two-hour delays, when the starts of their days are pushed back, but teachers have less time to work with their students before the end of the school year.
Most area schools had a two-hour delay on Monday, even though the temperature fell throughout the day. Delaying the start of school two hours means that more students are leaving for school in sunlight, so they can see the bus coming and wait for its arrival somewhere warm. The delay also gives the buses a chance to warm up before picking up students, Franklin Superintendent David Clendening said.
Clendening typically starts considering a two-hour delay for Franklin schools once wind chill levels are expected to drop to minus 10 or below. That's when students might be more prone to frostbite or hypothermia, he said.
"We're trying to look out for everyone's safety. Two-hour delays are not ideal for anybody, but we're trying to do the best we can," Clendening said.
The average temperature for this time of year is 28 degrees. So far, this month is the 13th-coldest January on record, Dahmer said.
On Wednesday, temperatures should climb into the 20s and then reach the 30s by the weekend, though there's a chance for snow to return on Friday. There's also no way to know whether today is the last day we'll have in the single digits, or whether more cold fronts will roll through before spring, Dahmer said.
"(We have) quite a ways to go through the rest of winter," he said.

Did a very good job. I will buy more shares today!!
King said that margins on their c&i loans had increased 100 to 125 bsp since late 2008. C&i loans comprised about 1/3 of bbt loan portfolio. I think this is largely due to the big money banks pulling back from their low ball pricing pre Lehman.
Read this week that jpm is having trouble unloading some of their cmbs. Investors want higher yields on the lower cmbs tranches so jpm may have to continue to raise price on their cre loans which is good for bbt.
I'm praying that King sold off most of their $23 billion mbs gse portfolio yielding 90 bsp. I rather have him keep the $23 billion at the Fed earning 25 bsp waiting for opportunities vs. taking on the interest rate risk. Heck, he could take around $4 billion of the $23 billion -invest it in triple A munis and keep $19 billion in excess reserve at the Fed and still earn 90 bsp.
It would be very nice for shareholders to realize $500 million plus gain on the sale of their mbs gse stuff. Close to $1 share. Time to stick it to cramer, the neanderthal man, and all the other anti-bbt guys.
Investors always want more yield. The issue with CMBS pricing right now is not the yields or collateral value, but the ratings from S&P. That's why GS pulled their deal last month. We can say that higher spreads will be good for the banks, which is true, but its not good if there are no net transactions. The GS deal in August was going to be great for the market...big issuer with very tight spreads and low loan rates, and the investors were there ready to buy it. That deal was going to set the market for the next few quarters and drive up loan demand, spur the economy, etc. etc. But now the market is frozen again. S&P is now doing what they should have done five years ago, but just as they missed the boat then, now they are going too far in the other direction, trying to salvage their reputations.
OK, that was a fair response. But let me now ask you this...What constitutes a qualified borrower? Second, the Tarp money, whether it was a welcome injection or not, was not designed to help the banks..its purpose was to free up credit, the theory being that if banks' balance sheets were sufficiently relieved of near term stress, they would then lend the money given to them. Yes, it WAS to help out the US economy. Precisely. That did not happen...what did happen was the ubiquitous "I got mine" and the banks have simply been sweating the rest of America, while they have bullet proofed their balance sheets. Now, as you brought up the issue of qualified borrowers, you can be fully assured that banks find this statement (and I have heard it many times from bank CEOs) to be a moving target. And as long as it is a seller's market for credit, banks will continue to move the bar....they will never get enough spread, enough collateral security, enough guarantees, or enough covenants. There is some really ugly greed at work here...long term relationships have been destroyed where customers of banks have now simply become debtors and guarantors...oddly it was John Allison who complained that the fed and the treasury dept were in bed with the US financial system. And he was right. It is ugly and unamerican. The cash on BB&T's balance sheet belongs to my grandchildren and I would like BB&T to give it back...now...in the form of loans. This whole process is not going to end well, not for the banks and not for borrowers. 2008 was simply the tip of the iceberg. By the way, to answer my first question...there are no qualified borrowers, that is the problem. And until credit flows, nothing will change, unless you want Harry and Nancy to just give everybody more free money (maybe not a bad idea since they already gave BB&T a lot of monopoly money, maybe its somebody else's turn). You want BB&t to go to $45...lend the cash.
"The cash on BB&T's balance sheet belongs to my grandchildren and I would like BB&T to give it back...now...in the form of loans. "
Simply a bizarre statement.
But setting that aside, I do agree that several million homeowners should be able to refinance but are unable to because the foreclosure situation in this country has greatly depressed home values- I think something like 40% of the existing home sales involved either foreclosed properties or short sales. The condition of many of the foreclosed properties are terrible - copper wiring ripped out of the wall, missing ac units, fixtures removed etc. Nevertheless, they are calculated into the home values used by appraisers.
I think the solution to this problem is a public-private trust which buys up distressed properties from fannie, freddie and the banks at firesale prices and rent them out over say 5 years. Of course, the trust would have to spend some money to fix them up. Their are millions in the US who do not qualify for a mortgage and need to rent. George Bush's goal to increase home ownership to 70% was a major factor which got us into this mess. So was Alan Greenspan encouraging homeowners to take out short term ARMS. Then there was Carl Levin who permitted freddie and fannie to purchase toxic cdo/cdo squared stuff and let folks use their home equity as an atm machine. The housing problem was not created by Wall Street soley. It's primary origin was Washington DC - wall street simply helped carried out the mission. Michael Moore and his cohorts are misguided. Define the problem - then maybe you will come up with a solution.
Obama finally propose a public-private ownership trust designed to improved home values but I think it has fallen on deaf ears. John Allison I believe, proposed this 3 years ago.
Kelly King has a responsibility to protect bbt shareholder value. Refinancing homes which have less than 20% equity even if home prices are "artificially depressed" is not responsible banking. Nor is lending money to investors to purchase adc speculator loans or small businesses which are not properly capitalized. America has greatly reduced their indebtedness and is in the process of recovering. Adding more debt is not part of the solution.
One more time...
1) What constitutes a qualifed borrower? Answer: A borrwer is qualifed if a bank says he, she, or it is qualifed. If the banks did not have taxpayer money as the basis for their financial health, I would not care how they define it, but since I bailed out the banking system when they were nationalized in 2008, I should have a say in how a the word "qualified" is defined.
2):"Borrowers are not well capitalized and collteral values are too low?" OK, how do you propose to get borrwers to a position to being capitalized enough to borrow? No one has any capital right now. See #1 above.
3) Alternate Plan. Your trust idea simply pushes the problem out five years..it does not solve it. This is precisely the type of logic that prolonged the Great Depression with endless screwball ideas from the FDR Admin. Here is a better plan: reverse the bad decisions in 2008. All regulated banks take a ratio of cash and marketable securities to total asset value. Banks will be required to lower that ratio every quarter for the next 2 years (and they cannot pay down their own debt, buyback stock, or retire preferred). If they dont lower the ratio they get fined, and the treasury slowly recoups the $750B we gave the lenders.
=>"...and the treasury slowly recoups the $750B we gave the lenders."
I must have missed something in the last couple of years. This $750B you're referring to is TARP, correct? I won't quible with the amount that was actually given to the banks (a substantial portion went to the auto companies, fannie & freddie, AIG and not spent at all) but have I not read that a good portion of what the banks received has been paid back with interest?
Bbt paid the gov't around $170 million for the use of the $3.1 billion of tarp money for a period of around 9 months. Very expensive. Bbt did not need the tarp money nor did they request it. They do not securitize their loans. Nor did they buy or sell cdos or do any crazy derivatives. Their capital was very adequate.
The trust plan would dramatically increase the prices of homes. Get the foreclosed and short sale properties off the market and existing home prices would increase nicely. This is great medicine for our economy. The worse medicine is lending money out to folks who are already financial strapped primarily because they made bad financial decisions in the past.
Bbt has been making loans. Their c&i loans are up nicely. Their specialized lending business is doing very well. Prime mtgs are doing ok with the balances showing some nice increases. Auto loans are up.
Real estate loans outside of prime residential are down a lot. The demand is extraordinarily weak in most cases - adc, commercial construction, lot loans and home equity loans and lines. Also, the bank is bleeding off alt A and residential subprime loans.
I think many of the comments you make nobankerplease are factually incorrect. I think you should spend more time educating yourself on the subject matter.
"The worse medicine is lending money out to folks who are already financial strapped primarily because they made bad financial decisions in the past." What about the banks who made the loans? Oops, I forgot, they got a mulligan paid for by my grandkids.
Sorry Norm, you often are long on "facts" but short on the underlying meaning...like the case of Loan Loss Reserves, which are simply a way for a bank to smooth earnings or Tangible Book Value, which assumes the assets are worth what the banks say they are worth (which no one does - except for Norm).
As for Tarp, we can certainly discuss the strategic impact of this to BB&T, the taxpayers, the unwarranted safety net it provided, the ultimate dilution to its shareholders. The idea that Mgmt has a commitment to it shareholders rather than the "economy" is an odd argument given that bb&t raised 3B in new equity at 1998 prices, delivering a death blow to the then current shareholder base and the div...(want to know why the stock trades so low...I just told you) but that decision to screw the shareholders was ok (it certainly paved the way for some nice fat comp for KK) but now making a decision to loosen credit standards would be "Bad" for the shareholders...too risky I guess, but the crummy loans they made previously? Again, I guess that was ok..?.No way could BB&T make a credit mistake, huh? Hey did you get a bailout Norm?
Net lending is anemic...and will continue to be so. Mortgage growth is "showing some nice increases"? you're kidding right? Have you seen the data. No one is lending into a market that is predicted to maintain a default horizon for another five years (thanks to there being no credit extended - hurrah for BB&T) and home prices are not predicted to recover for 10 years (again thanks banking industry).

You're entitled to your opinion but you're not entitled to make up your own facts. Fed data shows that closed end residential mortgages have been increasing in the 3rd qtr. 2011 apparently due to refinancing which has more than offset charge-offs on bad loans.
You sound like some government official out of Atlas Shrugged. I think you would do well to advise Senator Durbin on how to make Dodd Frank even more costly to the American consumer.
Actually I voted for Reagan. And he is spinning in his grave at what has become the cabal of bankers, treasury officers, and fed regulators. And I dont know what you are reading but the residential mortgage market and exsiting home sales have come to a grinding halt.
Bankers themselves state that the residential home crisis will persist for half a generation.
"Home prices are unlikely to recover before 2020 and mortgage defaults will persist for years, says a survey of bank risk managers out Friday. The survey conducted by the Professional Risk Managers' International Association for FICO, found that 49 percent of respondents do not expect housing prices to rise back to 2007 levels for another nine years. Only 21 percent of respondents said they would. The findings, which authors called "a decidedly pessimistic outlook", are a sharp reversal from cautious optimism the survey respondents expressed late last year and in early 2011.
In addition, 73 percent of surveyed bankers say they expect mortgage defaults to remain elevated for at least another five years. And 46 percent believe mortgage delinquencies will increase over the next six months. Only 15 percent of respondents expect mortgage delinquencies to decline during that period.
"While the housing sector will almost certainly gain strength during the next nine years, many bankers clearly believe prices will remain depressed for half a generation," said Andrew Jennings, chief analytics officer at FICO.
Bankers concerns spread beyond the housing market. A large number of respondents says they also expect to see an uptick in delinquencies on auto loans, credit cards and student loans.
Small businesses are expected to continue face a challenging credit environment. More than one-third of respondents forecast an increase in delinquencies on small business loans.
Bankers also appear to be pessimistic about recovery in consumer spending, with 64 percent of respondents expecting credit card usage to remain below pre-recession levels for at least five more years. Half of the respondents expect credit card balances to increase over the next six months, due to higher spending by some households and smaller monthly payments by others.
So Norm, I guess if the Fed says things are getting better, I should breathe easier (what else are they going to report, that executing the US dollar was a bad idea?). And while we are sweating the next nine years I am sure it will be important to debate how BB&T invests its $25B of cash and marketable securities.
Life's a b****, unless you're a bank.
Bbt residential mortgages are classified into 4 categories : prime, alt A, permanent/construction and subprime.
Here's the data by category at 6/30/10 vs. 6/30/11. The trends are obvious and bbt should return to a "normalized charge-off level" in 2012:
1. Prime - Loan balance has increased from $12.2 billion to $15.8 billion. Nonaccruals have dropped from %1.64% to 1.14% reaching a peak of around 3.5% in 2009. 100% of loans are covered by 1st mtg. Refreshed fico score is 727. LTV has been reduced to 74%.
2. Alt A - Loan balance has dropped from $2.3 billion to $1.8 billion. Nonaccruals have dropped from 4.65% to 3.21%. Runoff mode.
3. Construction - Loan balance has dropped from $.6 billion to $.4 billiion Nonaccruals have decreased from 9.8% to 7.16%. Runoff mode.
4. Subprime - Loan balance has dropped from $.5 billion to $.4 billion. Nonaccruals have increased from 6.05% to 7.95%.
Prime loans is comprise 85% of portfolio and are likely to increase to 90% plus in 2012. If you assume the default rate remains at current level of 1.14%, chargeoffs will be around 30 bsp points assuming a loss severity rate of 25%. 74% ltv and 100% 1st mortgage ensure loss severity rate will not be excessive.
Delinquency data for total residential mtgs is trending is the right direction. Last 5 qtrs for 30 to 89 day deliquencies (millions of dollars) starting with 6/30/10 are: 519, 551, 532, 444, 426.

What an adorable duo!! Thanks pam!
SSSSShhhh! Let sleeping dogs lie.
Ya know, she really would like Elizabeth Taylor if she had the right color eyes! I hadn't thought of that! Thanks, potlatch!
Great graphic, Amy and such a beautiful frame! Thank you!
Sorry about your problems, but hope the rest of your day was O.K>!
I had a feeling you'd think the way I did! What fun, eh?
Potlatch thought if she had those lavender eyes, she would look like Liz Taylor and I looked again and she really would! LOL!
That baby donkey is about the cutest, sweetest, cuddliest, warmest, fuzziest thing I've ever seen! And it's mom is a beauty!
So pretty, Meg!
Aw, that's such a cute little thank you - I'm glad you liked the opening doggies and bluegrass music. :)
I know what you mean about 'a work in progress' notice.
Hotmail just deleted all my email before August 1. They didn't tell me - they just did it. I had no notice to save anything I may have wanted to keep.
Now, I will try to find another place for email - like Gmail or Yahoo. I never heard that they did anything so drastic!
Thank you, Billie.
I've had a real problem with graphics today. Grrrrrr
I want to thank you again for Today's wonderful Opener. The dogs are so sweet and "Big Rock Candy Mountain" is perfect. I had heard that song but never paid much attention to the words until I saw your graphics.
I think thats terrible! Never heard of such a thing!! I want to be the only one who deletes my email, don't you??
I'm hoping that Fotki is just having problems and are not gone for good.
I use that account for saving graphic notes and info. As I go back to today's thread heading, I notice that any graphics stored on Fotki are not showing up. That would mean that all of the other threads are missing most of my graphics.
Like I told Billie ........ GRRRRRR
YES! No one else should take away something that is so personal, (let alone, take it without notice!)
Oh, that's awful, Yorkie! If my e-mail were deleted....and it's
come close a couple of times when I "lost" computers, I would
be devastated. That's where I store all my tables and ping lists.
I do now have an external hard drive that backs it up, but it's
still hard to remember to do it...or even HOW to do it. LOL!
I have Yahoo for a back-up when I am using someone else's
computers and it seems to work fine.
I've always used Yahoo as my search engine. You have to sign up if you want to chat on one of their subjects and provide a lot of info, password, etc. I did that and if you don't post for a couple of weeks, they drop you, and you would have to go through the same thing again. I didn't like that a bit!
She sure was a beautiful young woman. I remember the movies she was in when she was growing up and I was growing up....LOL! Great picture of her and those eyes!
She certainly has had quite a life! I saw her in alot of her movies, too!
Like we've said around here before...."we have a mutual admiration society here at Amy's". LOL!
Think I'll get ready to call it a day!
Here's another:
Goodnight Sweetheart, Well, It's Time To Go - by The Spaniels
OK girls - I was wrong about HotMail deleting my email. They have a new format, and I clicked the wrong arrow to get to the previous page. WHEW!!! I'm SO SORRY to have led you wrong! (But SO HAPPY I still have all my email!!!)
Oh, WHAT a relief that must have been! I am glad you looked
closer! LOL!
I wish I knew how to do "words" - I would save my favorites, there. But, for now - email will have to do!
YES - I am so glad I figured it out!
Good evening, Luv.
Has Fotki come back for you?
How am I going to post tomorrow's thread????
It really warms my heart to see the "God Bless Our Military" graphic. Word received from our nephew who just deployed to Afghanistan, they were subjected to incoming fire yesterday or today. We continue to pray for him, his troops, as well as all of our Armed Forces serving throughout the world.
We had a 'GRATE' time these past few days with family visiting from N Idaho. Took a trip to Santa Cruz and then down to Monterey on Sunday. Did the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz followed by a few hours walking along Cannery Row in Monterey. We'll be going back this weekend when my SIL arrives for a 5 day visit.
Great opening for September.
Well, it's late, and I must get my beauty rest so, G'nite.
I don't know how to do words either. LOL!
E-mail works for me. :)
Whew!! Thank goodness Fotki is back now. Yay! Didn't look
any different either. Wonder what happened.....
Love this oldie!
Yay!!!! Whew is so right!!
What a scare; now I need to find a way to save info other than attached to the images in Fotki. Until yesterday, I didn't realize how much of Amy's Place I could lose.
Have a Terrific Thursday, Luv.
Our world has become increasingly noisy. But according to a news report, science has found a way to achieve absolute silence: Scientists have shown off the blueprint for an acoustic cloak, which could make objects impervious to sound waves. The technology, outlined in the New Journal of Physics, could be used to build sound-proof homes, advanced concert halls, or stealth warships.
When we seek out a quiet place for devotional time with God, we may wish we had an acoustic cloak. But even if we could silence all external sound, the internal noises of worry would still reverberate in our minds. We are told: Be still, and know that I am God (Ps. 46:10). But how do we calm our hearts in practical terms?
God understands our dilemma and has provided His own acoustic cloak to quiet our hearts. It involves exchanging our cares for His peace. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:6-7).
As we place our concerns in Gods capable hands, we find a quietness that only He can provide.
Read: Psalm 46
Good morning, Yorkie.
Great to hear that you didn't lose your email.
I lost my email once when my computer crashed. I'm sure I have it someplace but I need a techie to find it for me. LOL
Thank you ladies. I am not too computer savvy - and there are MANY things I cannot even consider trying. But I do know two things! E-mail and Amy's Place!
Wishing you a HAPPY THURSDAY!!!
(JC told me yesterday
The starfish is the only animal with no brain!)
I wanted to put LOL beside my addresses but knew it wouldn't go through....just having a bit of fun this morning!!
Just heard another rig has exploded on the Gulf Coast. They believe no one was hurt but they are getting them from the water now.
I have an appointment today and I will try to check in later in the day!
Hope all of you have a great Thursday and do not get Thirsty!!
Happy Thursday, Mayor.
Thank you for being here for us everyday, even when I'm not. We appreciate seeing your name on our comments page.
Wishing you a Terrific Thursday and a beautiful weekend.

This book was made with love as a gift to my grandmother and my father.
The Sommer-Cole Homestead was one of the earliest settlements in Custer County, Nebraska. The original sod house was built before the village or railroad existed.
The home is still standing, in fact I spent many summers there as a child. The Sommer-Cole family has lived in the homestead for over 90 years.
If you are interested in a custom design I would love to help. Drop me a line at laura {at} holycowdesign {dot} com Thanks for stopping by!

'Not greedy' Guyanese drug kingpin jailed in US
An illegal Guyanese migrant's thriving drug business in the US came crumbling down late last month when he was arrested following a ten-year investigation by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Loris Gemon, who could not read, also set up other businesses with the proceeds of his illicit trade and boasted that he was trafficking for 24 years and the only reason he was not caught was because he is not greedy. His words and actions brought him down.
Gemon, who is charged along with the mother of his child, Twanda Price and associate Ian Nichols, has since appeared before Magistrate Judge David S. Cayer and remanded to prison.
Gemon was the owner of a barber shop, a studio, a car wash and a shop selling car parts and during a conversation with an undercover officer, who was posing as a drug supplier, he boasted of trafficking in cocaine for 24 years and being the owner of about 27 luxury cars. He also owns several houses, with at least one in Guyana. None of the businesses and vehicles were registered in his name.
According to the 23-page criminal complaint filed by HSI agent James Bryant, Gemon "conspired to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine and launder proceeds of the drug trafficking."
He allegedly received cocaine from Miami and the southwest border area of Texas and was supplying it to people in Charlotte, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, the document said.
The accused, who is also known as Buck, Gregory Martin, Junior Bristol and Chris Lashawn, came under the radar of law enforcement agencies since 2004 after they received information alleging that he was engaged in cocaine trafficking and money laundering. The complaint against him was based on the information of four confidential informants and according to the agent, their information has been corroborated to the extent possible, and nothing has been found to be untruthful.
For the name Gregory Anthony Martin, Gemon had at one time produced to authorities, a Canadian Social security card.
According to the complaint, in 2004, Gemon was attempting to conduct a cocaine transaction when he was beaten and robbed of his drugs and/or money. He left town for a period of time after that incident before restarting his illicit business.
Apart from having two associates delivering drugs and uplifting money, Gemon also allegedly used Price and another woman who also had a child for him, as his runners and he also registered some of the cars in their names.
One of the informants told the authorities after he was arrested, that Gemon was from Guyana and that two or three of his children died in an automobile accident a few years ago. He also indicated that Gemon was in the US illegally. The complaint detailed how Gemon had a taste for expensive cars and would shell out large sums of money to purchase these vehicles.
In an incident in 2010, as related by one of the informants, Gemon and his associates got into an argument after he refused to give money to one of the mother of his children, Chassity Collins when she asked. The associate is said to have angrily told Gemon that Collins and Price risked their lives "going up and down the road transporting cocaine and money" for him.
He had told one of his associates that vehicles would be purchased with cash as 'straw purchases' and placed in nominees' names. Some of the vehicles he purchased included a Honda Ridgeline for US$15,000, a Lexus RX 300 for US$14,000, a Bentley for US$4,000 and a Dodge Challenger for US$37,000. He is also said to have purchased a Mercedes-Benz for US$60,000. Gemon also owned an 18-wheelet truck, two trucks and boats that he would have purchased with drug proceeds over the years.
Further details of his extravagant lifestyle revealed that Gemon also spent large sums of money on clothes as one associate recalled him spending US$20, 000 during a shopping trip. He purchased more than US$150,000 worth of equipment for his New Line Kutz barber shop and paid US$2,000 a month rent. His recording studio was described as being "extremely nice, with a shower and bedroom, pool tables and other nice amenities."
But he also had trouble reading and was forced to depend on an associate, who later became a confidential witness for the authorities, to read and negotiate contracts on his behalf. He even purchased a property and land in a "bad" area in North Carolina even though he was told that it was not worth that much but he wanted to help the owner who was going through a rough patch.
As the authorities were closing in on him, Gemon told an undercover officers-posing as a drug dealer- on April 24th that he owned several properties in North Carolina and California. He told the officer that he was trafficking for 24 years and the only reason he has not been caught was because he is not greedy.

Body of boy found on seawall
The body of a 16-year-old boy was discovered early this morning at the Kitty seawall opposite the 1823 National Monument.
Dead is Jerome Sturge of 32 East Ruimveldt Front Road Squatting Area. Sturge was a former student of the Caramel High and the David Rose School.
His mother, Margaret Persaud, said that she last saw him at around 10am on Thursday shortly before he left his home in the company of two other boys. "He was not known to go on the seawalls. He cannot swim and we don't think he drowned," the woman said.
She also said that the two teenagers her son was last seen with were taken to the Kitty Police Station to give statements.
Sturge leaves to mourn his mother and eight siblings.

Laure Prouvost has won the Turner Prize 2013
20:00 02 December 2013
London-educated French artist Laure Prouvost has won the Turner Prize for her work Wantee.
The short film, a response to the the artist Kurt Schwitters and viewed in a mocked-up tea party setting, won the award at a ceremony this evening in Londonderry, the UK's City of Culture.
Three other artists had been nominated for this year's award.
London-born Tino Sehgal's work was This Is Exchange, consisting of live "encounters" between interpreters dressed in black T-shirts and the audience.
The piece has no actual objects or displays on show.
David Shrigley was favourite with his Life Model, a work featuring a larger-than-life naked robot which periodically blinks and urinates.
London-born British-Ghanaian artist Lynette Yiadom-Boakye piece was portraits of six imaginary people, aimed at generating questions about how pictures are read in general.
Established in 1984, the Turner Prize is awarded to a contemporary artist under 50, living, working or born in Britain, who is judged to have put on the best exhibition of the last 12 months.
Previous winners include Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin and short-listed nominees receive £5,000 prize money.
The exhibition for the prize, which has travelled outside England for the first time, will be staged in Ebrington Army barracks, a former military barracks, in the city until
January 5.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Origins Available: English, Scottish
From the historical and enchanting region of Normandy emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Corbett family. Originally, the Norman people were known only by a single name. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. Often they adopted names that were derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The name Corbett is a nickname type of surname for a person with dark hair. Tracing the origin of the name further, we found the name Corbett was originally derived from the Old French word "corbeau," which means "raven."
The surname Corbett was first found in Shropshire, where they claim descendancy from Roger, son of Corbet as listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. Roger le Corbet (or Fitz Corbet) was granted several manors by William the Conqueror as the Barony of Caus for his role in the Conquest. "The first Corbet came from Shropshire and settled in Teviotdale under Earl David in the first quarter of the twelfth century." [1]
Spelling variations of this family name include: Corbett, Corbet, Corbetts, Corbit, Corbitt, Corbitts and many more.

Some of the first settlers of this family name were:
Corbett Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Corbett Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Corbett Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Corbett Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
Corbett Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Corbett Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Corbett Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Deus pascit corvos
Motto Translation: God feeds the ravens.

The Corbett Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Corbett Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Since the 1990s, a global wave of market liberalization has produced an interconnected world economy that has brought unprecedented levels of activity and growth, along with structural changes whose consequences are not yet fully understood. Governments in many parts of the developing world have come to view science and technology (S&T) as integral to economic growth and development, and they have set out to build more knowledge-intensive economies in which research, its commercial exploitation, and intellectual work would play a growing role.
To that end, they have taken steps to open their markets to trade and foreign investment, develop or recast their S&T infrastructures, stimulate industrial R&D, expand their higher education systems, and build indigenous R&D capabilities. This has brought a great expansion of the world's S&T activities and their shift toward developing Asia, where most of the rapid growth has occurred. Governments there have implemented a host of policies to boost S&T capabilities as a means to ensuring their economies' competitive edge.
In most broad aspects of S&T activities, the United States continues to maintain a position of leadership but has experienced a gradual erosion of its position in many specific areas. Two contributing developments are the rapid increase in a broad range of Asian S&T capabilities outside of Japan and the fruition of EU efforts to boost its relative competitiveness in R&D, innovation, and high technology.
Asia's rapid ascent as a major world S&T center—beyond Japan—is driven by developments in China and several other Asian economies (Asia-9).[1] All are seeking to boost access to and the quality of higher education and to develop world-class research and S&T infrastructures. The Asia-9 form a loosely structured supplier zone for China's high-technology manufacturing export industries that increasingly appears to include Japan. Japan, long a preeminent world S&T nation, is holding its own in research and some high-value S&T activities but is losing ground to the Asia-9 in overall high technology manufacturing and trade. India's high gross domestic product (GDP) growth contrasts with a fledgling overall S&T performance.
The EU largely holds its own in the face of these worldwide S&T shifts. Its innovation-focused policy initiatives have been supported by the creation of a shared currency and the elimination of internal trade and migration barriers. Much of the EU's high-technology trade is with other EU members. EU research performance is strong and marked by pronounced EU-supported, intra-EU collaboration. The EU is also focused on boosting the quality and international standing of its universities.
Other countries share this heightened focus on S&T as a means of economic growth. Brazil and South Africa show high S&T growth rates, but from low bases. Among the more developed nations, Russia's S&T establishment continues to struggle in both relative and absolute terms, whereas Israel, Canada, and Switzerland are examples of mature, high-performing S&T establishments.
Multinational companies (MNCs) operating in this changing environment are seeking access to developing markets, whose governments provide incentives. Modern communications and management tools support the development of globally oriented corporations that draw on far-flung, specialized global supplier networks. In turn, host governments are attaching conditions to market access and operations that, along with technology spillovers, produce new and greater indigenous S&T capabilities. Western- and Japan-based MNCs are increasingly joined in world S&T markets by newcomers headquartered in developing nations.

- ANYTHING to do with Pickett's Charge:
Armistead: I... would like... to see General Hancock. Can you tell me... where General Hancock may be found?Thomas: I'm sorry, sir. The general's down, he's been hit.Armistead: No! Not... both of us! Not... all of us! Please, God!
- General Pickett's quiet horror, then screaming, "I can't see! I can't see what's happening to my boys! What's happening to my boys!?" when he realizes how badly things are going, as well as his response to General Lee's inquiry about his division — "General Lee... I have no division" — are well beyond the threshold to hold back the waterworks.
- Longstreet is so certain that Pickett's Charge will fail that Longstreet is too choked up to order the assault. When Pickett asks him if he should begin the attack, the best that the heartbroken Longstreet can manage is a wordless nod.
- Made worse by how eager and elated Pickett is to carry out the order, which he's asking for in the first place because Alexandernote informed him that he must "Hurry up, for God's sake, or the artillery can't help you!" The problem is, a prior scene had Alexander telling Longstreet in person that the artillery was running low on ammonote and that his guns weren't having the desired effect of clearing out the Union artillery, to which Longstreet could only tell him to grab some more ammo and keep the fire on because he couldn't send in Pickett's division or the others until at least some of the Union guns had been cleared from the ridge... which means that Longstreet and Alexander both already knew that the plan was doomed.
- Before this there is a moment right after the planning session where Longstreet manages to catch Pickett alone and asks him "George... can you take that ridge?" Pickett's response is a cocky smile, but Longstreet's expressionnote and the swelling music make it very clear what is about to happen. Can be seen here starting at 5:40.
- When General Armistead learns he and General Hancock have both been wounded. (Though Armistead would never know it, Hancock survived his wound and continued to fight to the end of the war.) Even more because Richard Jordan, who played Armistead, passed away shortly after filming wrapped.
- Even moreso when you learn that the production crew learned of Jordan's passing while they were in the process of editing this very scene.
- There's far too many of these moments to count, but major ones include:
Armistead: (to Longstreet) Win was like a brother to me. Remember? Towards the end of the evening, things got a little rough. We both began to... well, there were a lot of tears. I went over to Hancock. I took him by the shoulder. I said, "Win, so help me, if I ever raise my hand against you, may God strike me dead."
- Then there are the moments that just make you want to shed Manly Tears of joy:
- The arrival of Reynolds on the first day. It's hard not to get just as choked up as Buford when you see him ride up to the Seminary.
- Chamberlain's order to refuse the line. The swelling of the music and the camera tracking Chamberlain as he rushes down the line to place the men, and seeing his sheer determination to Hold the Line.
- And of course the charge of the 20th Maine itself.
- The reunion of the Chamberlain brothers at the end.
- Although the actual fighting at Devil's Den isn't shown, an earlier scene on July 2nd has Hood protesting the order to attack the Union left flank head-on, due to the conditions being so lopsidedly advantageous for the defender; problem is, Lee already shot down Longstreet's own arguments for a flanking maneuver towards the right and the Union rear. Later on, Longstreet is shown walking into a field hospital where Hood lays ashen-faced, slow of speech and possibly delirious. After inquiring about his division's casualtiesnote and requesting credit for his troops, Hood broken-heartedly sobs that Longstreet should have let him go to the right... cue Longstreet slowly, wordlessly walking out in melancholy into a similar scene of carnage outside, symbolizing just how bad it was for Hood's men. If one keeps in mind the stories of Longstreet favoring a big flanking maneuver on July 3rd, these scenes essentially are Foreshadowing Pickett's Charge.
Tear Jerker / Gettysburg
Considering the forgone nature of the conclusion it's not very surprising. Still, it's horrifying to see what happens to these men.

What's the buzz from the world of sports? Here are some items that will have people talking:
Put yourself in the football fans' shoes of Penn State for a moment.
Could you still be a fan of (insert your team here) if what is happening in Happy Valley was happening at (insert your team here)?
Our unscientific poll here at Talking Points generated some, well, talking points.
Some felt that regardless of what has happened in the past, they would still be a fan of the football program and would still proudly wear the school colors.
Some said they would want to see how the school handled the situation before making a decision on whether or not to return to the football stadium for a game.
And others said they would want to support the current players on the field because they had nothing to do with what had happened in the past.
No matter where you fall on the topic, we can all agree we would rather not have Penn State problems at (insert our school here).
Is the picture on the left:
A) Oregon football uniforms from a parallel universe.
B) The result of a Frankenstein-like merger between the Ducks and Seahawks?
C) None of the above (at least we hope).
The answer is probably C, in spite of what we are thinking. The yellow jerseys are those of the Gdynia Seahawks of the Polish American Football League.
Apparently, American football is all the rage these days in Poland, and Sunday was the league's Super Bowl between the Seahawks and Warsaw Eagles.
The game was even played before 30,000 fans at the newly built National Stadium in Warsaw.
For those wondering, the Seahawks won the game.
Times are tough. Just ask a U.S. Olympic medal hopeful.
The United States Olympic Committee gives out $25,000 bonus for a gold medal, $15,000 for silver and $10K for bronze. And it's been that way for 10 years.

"It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, Minnesota." So surely will begin 2006 Honorary Oscar winner Robert Altman's film version of A Prairie Home Companion, opening on June 9th.
All of your favorite residents of Lake Wobegon will be there: Guy Noir private eye (played by Kevin Kline), the singing cowboys Dusty & Lefty (John C. Reilly and Woody Harrelson respectively), and of course, hometown boy and host Garrison Keillor (played by none other than himself). Also on hand will be a few new old-fashioned singers from Lake Wobegon: Rhonda (Lily Tomlin), Yolanda (Meryl Streep), and Lola (Lindsay Lohan).
Make sure that you brush up on your Lake Wobegon gossip and A Prairie Home Companion antics to keep abreast of all the town happenings!
