Dean Vincent Carter is the author of teen horror novels THE HAND OF THE DEVIL, HUNTING SEASON and BLOOD WATER.
After graduating from Thames Valley University with a degree in English and Media Studies, he worked in sales and as a bookseller before getting a job in the facilities department at Transworld Publishers and Random House Children's Books. Spotted by his editor after she read his company-wide emails, his first novel, The Hand of the Devil was published in 2006 to great critical acclaim.
The Hand of the Devil
When young magazine journalist Ashley Reeves receives an intriguing letter, he leaves his London office in the hope of reporting on an unusual species of insect - the Ganges Red. That evening he arrives on Aries Island and encounters the writer of the letter - Reginald Mather. At first Mather seems no more than an eccentric collector, happy to live in isolation on the island. But when Reeves unearths the horrific truth, he finds himself thrown headlong into a macabre nightmare that quickly spirals out of control. His life is in danger ...and Mather is not his only enemy ...
Both gruesome and compelling, chilling and page-turning, this much-anticipated thriller from Dean Vincent Carter will delight older readers.
Hunting Season
Eight years ago, the Austrian emergency services were called to the scene of a bizarre car accident. Eight years ago two mangled bodies were found in the snow not far from the vehicle, clawed and chewed, it seemed, by some ferocious animal. Eight years ago something unspeakable took Gerontius Moore's parents from him, leaving him orphaned and alone...And now, that something, is back. Caught up in a hunt he was never meant to be a part of, and finding help from a most unlikely source, Gerontius must once more flee the clutches of an appalling beast, before it learns its business is unfinished. Full moon or not, the hunt is on.
Blood Water
They're all dead now. I am the last one. Dr Morrow can't identify the 'thing' he found living in the lake but he knows it's dangerous ...then it goes missing ...Caught in the flood that is devastating the town, brothers Sean and James stumble across Morrow and the carnage left at his lab. The missing specimen is some kind of deadly parasite that moves from person to person, destroying its hosts in disgusting, gory ways. The death toll will rise along with the waters unless the brothers can track down the homicidal specimen and find a way to destroy it.
Why did you decide to focus on writing horror?
I have always found horror fiction exciting, and it was this that inspired me to start writing in the first place. I love the suspense, tension and emotion that horror novels stir up in the reader.
Has anything or anyone in particular influenced your writing? Are you a fan of horror films, or other writers?
I'm a big fan of Stephen King. Reading his work is what made me interested in trying to write horror myself.
Are your publishers open to all your ideas or do you have to censor yourself and tone down some of the horror elements because of your target audience?
I have had to tone things down a little in some areas. I have had to do it less for Hunting Season and Blood Water as the first book was a good learning experience and I developed a feel for where the line had to be drawn in terms of violence, gore and strong themes.
In the gore stakes, do you think less is more, that suggesting horror can be more frightening than going into intricate detail?
Definitely. The horror movies that scare me the most are the ones that hint of terrifying things lurking in the darkness and the same should be applied to books. Sometimes it is hard to get away with not using a little gore, but relying on the reader's imagination can be a far more effective tool when trying to instil a real feeling of terror.
What, if anything, do you think potential horror writers should bear in mind when writing for a younger audience?
I think there can be a tendency to tone things down too much, focus on themes that are more associated with teens and generally 'talk down' to the reader in a way. This I think has a tendency to turn teens off young fiction and to drive them toward adult fiction.
What's your experience of how children react to horror in books? Do they tend to love it more than perhaps the parents would like?
I'm not really sure about that. I don't think parents in general mind too much, in fact I know some who have allowed children under ten to read my books, knowing full well how strong some of the content is. I think it comes down to how mature the kids are and how well the parents know what their children are reading and how they react.
Do you ever scare himself when writing horror?
Sometimes I get caught up in the horror when trying to imagine a certain situation, but I don't think I ever really scare myself. I rely on other authors to do that!
Can there be such a thing as too much horror?
I think there can be too much gore and violence in stories, but as for general 'horror' I'm not so sure. It's a very wide genre and encompasses many different types of story and story-telling. I think it's a very popular, exciting genre so there can never be too much.
Do you thing an element of humour can become an important consideration when writing horror?
Humour can be very useful in horror as it can provide relief if the overall tone is getting a bit too oppressive and dark. In film, horror and humour often go hand in hand making people hysterical in equal measure so perhaps there is some kind of link there.
Do you use your own children or any others as a 'sounding board' for your books?
I have used friend's kids as a sounding board to get a good idea of whether I'm going in the right direction. It's all been very positive so far.
The Hand of the Devil was your debut novel. Was it your first attempt at writing a novel or did you have other manuscripts hiding away? How long did it take you from initial inspiration to finally achieving the publication deal?
I did try to write a book when I was at high school. I only managed to get to about fifty typewritten pages before running out of plot and having to end it. The Hand of the Devil was the first full-length novel I wrote. I wrote it as a short story first, then changed the story slightly and started again, planning to develop the characters and take the story in another direction. From beginning to end the first draft probably took five months, but would undoubtedly have taken a lot less than that had I been able to work on it full time.
Before achieving publication did you have to deal with rejection along the way?
No, I was very lucky to be working for a publishers at the time. I met my editor at a Christmas party and mentioned I was working on a book. She was interested and asked me to send her the first six chapters I'd finished. She loved it! The rest is history.
How long have you been pursuing your writing ambitions and what have you done along the way to improve your writing?
I've been writing since I was about thirteen and started with short stories, increasing them in length as I went and trying to write about as many different things for variety. I've also found that reading is invaluable, even of factual material as it all adds to experience. Music, TV and Film also help develop the writing ability I believe, as well as offer up new ideas.
Do you plan your stories in advance, or do they happen on the page?
I plan them to a degree but only when I'm worried about losing focus. When I get to the end of a novel and I find myself wandering a bit, I try to draft a rough structure of where events will be leading to give me something to work to. I never develop a plan of any detail though as I find it spoils the enjoyment of the creative process.
What made you think 'I want to write for children?' Is it a genre you enjoy reading?
I intended to write for adults originally but found that writing for children was more comfortable in terms of workload and demanded slightly less which I thought was a good way to start a career in writing. I don't generally read young fiction, but then I didn't do that when I was teen either!
Do you think your degree in English and Media Studies, and your experience as a bookseller has influenced and helped your writing in any way?
Certainly studying English really helps as you're introduced to people who have been very successful in their field and who have had a strong influence on other writers. You're also taught how to write well and what is generally considered acceptable and unacceptable. My experience as a bookseller taught me what type of books sell well and what reader's are most interested in. It also gave me a chance to look at a lot of different books in terms of how they are marketed and how people react to covers, blurbs etc.
Which authors/stories did you enjoy reading as a child/teenager? How do you think they compare to the children's/YA novels available today? What do you think children of today want to read?
I can't remember a lot of the authors I read. I did read a number of C. S. Lewis Narnia books which I really enjoyed, as well as the Hobbit which was a personal favourite. I think there is a definite contrast between those classics and modern books, primarily with language and the way the characters behave, but then books will always be quite reflective of the times in which they were written.
When I was a teenager I was reading Stephen King, James Herbert and the like. It's a natural progression. As children grow up they like to read literature aimed at those older than them as it's considered a 'cool' thing to do. I think the same applies today as back then, so maybe writers of teen fiction should bear in mind that they should be emulating adult fiction in many ways if they are trying to appeal to 'young adults.'
Are there any other genres you'd like to write in?
I am very interested in crime fiction. I haven't dabbled much yet but it's definitely on the cards. I have thought about a fantasy novel, but the market is very saturated and the idea of writing one strikes me as a potentially tough prospect considering it all comes from the imagination and there needn't be a lot of research involved.
Words of wisdom and advice to any aspiring writer?
Keep writing and keep reading, it all helps to build the talent and keep the skills honed. Look at different writers, genres and also try to read factual books on subjects that interest you, just to see the different ways in which people write. Try to develop your own voice. It's a lot easier when starting out to emulate the writing style of your favourite author, but try to find your own voice as soon as you can.
Any other comments/observations/general mind-blowing information you'd like to add?
It's amazing how helpful dreams can be in terms of providing inspiration. The only trick is remembering them!

In this collection, the world-famous newspaper comic strip starring Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy and the gang enters its final decade.
The Complete Peanuts: 1991-1992 is the 21st volume (of 25) of the perennial, best-selling series that collects every single one of the 18,000-plus Peanuts newspaper comic strips created by Charles M. Schulz, from its debut in 1950 to its end in 2000.

This material is perhaps the most overlooked of Charles M. Schulz's career, and The Complete Peanuts: 1991-1992 will cast it into a new light for scholars. Black & White
About the Author
The creator of beloved cartoon Peanuts, 'Charles Schulz was an innovative genuis of American comics and also the marathon man, drawing panel after four-square panel, year after year, creating a fantasy world that connected to kids as well as adults and all based on powerful iconic characters who express deep feelings of loneliness and resentment and despair...We remember him with love and admiration and gratitude for his gifts and his heroic endurance.' - Garrison Keillor
About the Author
Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922 in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google). In his senior year in high school, his mother noticed an ad in a local newspaper for a correspondence school, Federal Schools (later called Art Instruction Schools). Schulz passed the talent test, completed the course and began trying, unsuccessfully, to sell gag cartoons to magazines.

Trucks line up to cross from Mexico into the U.S. (CBP photo)
Estimating how long commercial trucks must wait in the northbound line at the U.S.-Mexican border is not as straightforward as it sounds. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is having difficulty gathering that kind of data uniformly at numerous border crossings across the Southwest because its collection methods are unreliable and in need of automation, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office.
The GAO report, released by Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn, ranking member of the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security, was critical of CBP's methods for collecting data on the time it takes commercial vehicles to travel from the end of an entry line to the primary inspection lane at six land ports of entry. Border wait times are crucial for truckers who regularly cross the Mexican and Canadian borders. Every minute a truck spends in line waiting for inspection can mean lost trade revenue and negative effects on the U.S. economy, said GAO.
CBP began collecting the border crossing wait time data at a limited number of crossings in 2001 in response to the long delays that ensued as security tightened after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. It began formalizing the process at other crossings and now makes the information available online for 42 of 46 crossings on the Southwestern border.
Processing commercial vehicles into the United States at land ports of entry involves a series of synchronized steps. The agency uses various databases and tools, including the Automated Targeting System, Automated Commercial Environment and local Advance Targeting Units (ATU) to screen and assign risk levels to travelers and cargo entering the United States.
At border crossings, however, CBP's complex digitized process -- intended to speed the flow of cargo -- is sometimes at the mercy of the limits of everyday human observation.
To calculate wait times at border crossings, the CBP has relied on two methodologies, said GAO. The first is line-of-sight observation by the port of entry director of the lines of traffic entering the crossing, estimating times using landmarks along those lines. If the line is obscured by bad weather (dust storms are common in the desert), or the end of the line is not visible to the observer, CBP policy recommends that officials estimate wait times using the second methodology, which is to ask at least five drivers how long they have been waiting in line, drop the highest and lowest responses, and average the rest.
Those techniques, said GAO, are not reliable and vary considerably from crossing to crossing and among port directors. "As a result, these data are generally not used by the private sector and are of limited usefulness for CBP management decisions on staffing and infrastructure investments," GAO concluded.
At all five of the crossings GAO studied, the end of the line sometimes extended beyond landmarks used in the line-of-sight methodology and none had a camera system in place with the capacity to consistently view the end of queues. Two crossings in Laredo, Texas -- World Trade Bridge and Columbia Solidarity Bridge -- had camera systems that allowed officials to see the line several miles into Mexico, but CBP officers noted that those systems could not be used to see the end of the queue on hazy and dusty days.
CBP previously questioned the method in its fiscal 2008 Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative program office, saying that if CBP officials cannot see the end of the line, they cannot accurately gauge the full duration of wait times.
In light of its study, GAO recommended CBP determine what steps were needed to get consistent implementation of existing wait-time data collection techniques and make strides toward implementing them. It also said CBP should think about replacing the methodologies with automated methods.

Sun Devils Seek Back-Up
The seventh-ranked Arizona State Sun Devils may find out this week whether they deserve their loftiest ranking since 1996.
ASU plays host to No. 18 California. And while the Golden Bears (5-2, 2-2 Pac-10) are reeling after two straight losses, they represent the first true test for Arizona State (7-0, 4-0 Pac-10).
``I'm happy we're 7-0,'' coach Dennis Erickson said Monday at his weekly campus news conference.
``I'm happy that we're recognized. For us, what happens this week and the week after that and the week after that and the week after that, the next five games are going to tell where we end up.''
After Cal, the Sun Devils visit No. 5 Oregon, then play Pac-10 co-leader UCLA in Pasadena and face No. 9 USC in Tempe.
By the end of that stretch, ASU should know where it fits in both the conference and national picture.
Cal appears to be less intimidating than it was two weeks ago, when the Bears were ranked No. 2 and dreaming of a national title.
ASU took last week off, which allowed a few banged-up players to heal. One who didn't is starting tailback Ryan Torain, who is out for the season because of a with a toe injury.
The bruising 6-foot-1, 213-pound senior had started six of the seven games for the Sun Devils, rushing for 553 yards and five touchdowns. He also caught seven passes for 100 yards and two scores.
Torain will be replaced by a tandem of Keegan Herring, a 5-foot-10, 186-pound junior from Peoria, Ariz., and Dimitri Nance, a 5-foot-10, 204-pound sophomore from Euless, Texas.
Herring will start against Cal, but Nance is expected to see a lot of action.
Like Torain, Herring and Nance were recruited by Erickson's predecessor, Dirk Koetter, who was better known for cultivating quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends. The fact that Koetter left Erickson a deep stable of running backs may be pivotal for ASU down the stretch.
Erickson said Herring ``brings you the explosiveness to take it to the house anytime. He's a little bit different. He's got great speed and quickness. He comes out of stuff that you wouldn't think a back could come out of.''
Herring has rushed for 480 yards on 73 carries, an average of 6.6 yards, and he has rushed for four touchdowns.
Nance has gained 193 yards on 37 carries, an average of 5.2 yards, and he has run for two scores.
``Dimitri, on the other hand, is somewhat similar to Ryan, obviously not as big or as tall, but he's more of a physical runner with great feet,'' Erickson said. ``He's got great vision.''
Nance's teammates call him ``Mr. 3000'' because he rushed for 3,173 yards as a Texas high school star.
``I think Dimitri will surprise you,'' Erickson said. ``He does some awfully good things.''
The Sun Devils hardly missed Torain after he was hurt early in a 44-20 victory over Washington on Oct. 13 in Tempe. Herring carried 10 times for 119 yards, breaking a 76-yard touchdown run, and Nance added 92 yards on 13 carries and had a 57-yard touchdown run.
``(Torain is) a guy that gets better as the game went on, but I believe we can do that with our other backs too,'' Erickson said. ``We're going to miss him, but there's not anything we can do about that. That's just part of football, you lose guys, whether it's college or high school or the National Football League, and you've got to replace them.''
Torain might not be the only offensive starter out against Cal. Tight end Brent Miller has a knee injury and may not play. Wide receiver Michael Jones had a concussion against Washington, but he practiced on Sunday and could be available against the Bears.

Miley Cyrus MySpace Party
Myspace Launch Draws a Crew of Hollywood Trendsetters
Young Hollywood was out in full force for last night's Myspace launch event. The style-setting crowd brought out their best party looks — each with her own unique twist to celebrate at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. Olivia Wilde mixed a few major trends, adding a leather jacket to printed denim, and finished the whole look with a pop of red on her heels. Jamie Chung perfected cool-girl eventwear in a printed miniskirt, breezy tank, and statement jewels, while Dianna Agron was the most ladylike of the bunch in a floral-print A-line skirt, white button-up, and pointed-toe heels.
As for the rest, Miley Cyrus and Amy Smart turned out two distinct takes on denim. Miley furthered her fashion transformation with an edgier ensemble that consisted of baggy boyfriend jeans, a slick crop top and jacket, white-hot pumps, and a platinum coif. Amy played it a little more casual in a pair of skinny-fit jeans and a Western-style button-down with suede booties to finish it off. Now that you've gotten the outfit breakdowns, it's time to cast your vote. Who was last night's best dressed?

10 years together, 7 Grammy nominations, 4 studio albums, 1 B side compilation and The Killers are back with their nostalgic, all killer(s), no filler collection Direct Hits.
Now, I know what you're all thinking "Woah, a best of already? Come on Brandon Flowers, that's just crazy talk!" and I agree, I was a bit sceptical myself about the release of a best of so early on in their career, and hell, even drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr has come out to say "It feels like a douchie move" and that "We'd wait another 10 years if it was up to us, but it's a contractual thing". So that leaves us with the predicament of "why am I listening to this?"
For the most part, Direct Hits really is just that, it's snappy, it's all the Killers songs you know and love and it's in an easily accessible format, with a few extra's at the end just to spice things up.
There is something really quite interesting about hearing The Killers evolve throughout the album too, it takes you on a journey through Hot Fuss all the way to Battle Born with, a very interesting track list, which dare I say, is more focused on their releases from Day & Age onwards.
Listening to this a few times over, it does kinda get into a lull and you find yourself wishing that they did put more focus on their earlier work. Both Hot Fuss and Sam's Town were (arguably) their best albums to date, and listening to tracks like 'Mr. Brightside' and 'When You Were Young' really showcases The Killers finest hour, which makes it a shame they do get lost at the beginning of the album.
Unfortunately due to this, the entirety of the album does highlight their progressive spiral from cool Vegas indie lads, to generic pop rock stars.
New track 'Shot At The Night', with the help of M83's Anthony Gonzalez, does pick up the pace again with it's synthy electro pop mixed with the bravado of Brandon Flowers' vocals, but sadly, leaves a lot to be desired. As catchy as it is, does not save the album like I'd hoped it would.
If you look past the sting of a contractually binding 'best of' and past the mediocrity from track 'Human' onwards, Direct Hits is a nice reminder of times that have been, and that The Killers are still alive and kicking. Like Ronnie Vannucci Jr said himself, a best of woulda/coulda/shoulda been released 10 years from now, but it's here today, and it ain't that bad.

Last autumn, I spent a weekend at the Bayview Wildwood resort in Port Stanton, Ontario. While there I took part in design classes with the über-talented Fiona Ellis.
In the class, Fiona encouraged us to see potential knitting designs in the landscape around us. Being in the thick of cottage country, it was not hard to pull inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounded the resort.
Thus, Wildwood was born – a beautiful lace beret with a floral centrepiece that flows organically to a bed of delicate leaves. It's perfect for a day of cross country skiing - or just hanging out in the city.
Pattern is charted only
Hat is knit from centre out

A gang of bikers surround your car with, its a stretch I know, with ill intent. You have your wife and your 5 month old in the car also, what would you do? This video takes place in New York around 5pm, driver ended up needing some medical treatment afterwards. http://youtu.be/wNOyDMzn2bY
Unholster .357, then pedal to the metal east bound and down.
a 2000 pound can easily move a 600 pound bike, Im just sayin' ;)
Ran over everyone of them. If stopped because of traffic pulled out my SA loaded extra mag and killed everyone of them that threatened my family. Then pulled out my Kahr cw .40 and shot some more if I had to. The guy who broke out my window would have been the first.
It was a bad idea to get off the interstate. Most bikes can only go about 120-150 miles without running out of gas. Bad situation. I don't carry enough ammo for that. I bet they would start to scatter after I shot 4 or 5 of them though.
Drive to the police station and report the accident and multiple black men shot in the process.
The bikers have plenty of incriminating video footage to corroborate my self defense case starting with the first biker intentionally stopping short and causing the accident.
They had become a mob after the first stop when they wanted revenge. I'd have stayed on the freeway and gone 20 miles an hour and when they began to surround me and kick at my car i'd have taken a handful out at the time. Eventually there wouldn't be any more bikes left to chase after me. Its all on video, Hopefully the district attorney is related to eric holder and he gets all their license plate numbers and has them all arrested.
I def wont ever try to run, specially running over one of the bikers. It would just make the situation worse.

Little Falls Community High School Assistant Principal Mike Olson spoke to the Board Tuesday night about crisis management in the schools and the new normal of doing business.
He said each classroom has a new crisis kit and the climate and safety plans have been updated in all the schools. The district has updated security systems throughout the district and there will be unplanned lock downs periodically.
Annually, the district will have five lock downs, five fire drills and one tornado drill.
Olson also gave board members an idea of promoting Flyer pride with core behaviors showing respect, responsibility, positive attitude and safety. Schools have planned celebrations when prizes will be given out to students showing Flyer pride.
There have been 433 incidents of problem behavior in the district since the beginning of school. Most of those problems have been in the realm of tardiness, technology violations, defiance and disrespect and skipping school.
"We can't guarantee student success, but we can guarantee a response to the lack of success," he said.
Olson also told the School Board that Morrison County will be officially proclaimed a Yellow Ribbon Community. The Yellow Ribbon Summit will take place Saturday, June 1, in St. Cloud.
The objective of a Yellow Ribbon Network is to establish and sustain local support efforts which connect and coordinate agencies, organizations, resources and employers to meet the needs of service members, military families and employers.
Olson said the county has united to form a sustainable Yellow Ribbon commitment within all key areas to support, honor and recognize military members and all who touch them.
Little Falls School Board briefs
Other business conducted by the Little Falls School Board Tuesday night included:
• Changing the school's 2012-13 calendar due to the four snow days experienced this winter. Monday will now be a full day of school; Wednesday, May 15 will be a full day of school instead of an early release day; Friday, May 31 will be the new last day of school instead of Thursday, May 30; and what was the early release day of May 15, will be moved to the last day of school, making it a half day. To make up for lost days of work, staff will have make-up days June 3 – 4, plus have the option of staying after school for two days, work April 1 (Easter Monday) or add a make-up day during the first week in June;
• Voting to accept the food service request for proposal committee's recommendation to enter into contract negotiations with A'viands to become the food service management company for the district. The company is based in Roseville, was established in 2003 and is ranked in the top 25 food service companies in the U.S.;
• Hearing from Little Falls Community High School Princpal Tim Bjorge that the Flyer robotics team took 10th place out of 47 teams in its first attempt in robotics competition. He would like to see it put into the budget and recognized as a school program;
• Learning that, due to sequestration, the district may lose between $70,900 and $87,000 in federal funds, approximately 5.9 percent, for special education and Title programs;
• Bjorge telling the Board about the No Boys Allowed (NBA) industrial arts class that will be included in the 2013-14 school year. He said 34 girls have already signed up;
• Hearing that Business Manager Nancy Henderson received the Central Office Person Outstanding Award from the Minnesota Association of School Administrators;
• Voting to rent 61.25 acres of land to Scott Doroff for $18 per acre for one year;
• Accepting donations from LaVerne's Travel Agency to arrange travel for the senior high Flyer Band tour at no commission; $500 from the Little Falls Lions Club for the Minnesota Reading Corps; $400 from the Federated Co-ops Inc. for the high school scholarship fund; a percussion clinic for all percussionists in the massed band, supplies worth $100 and one drum lesson for every percussionist in the district; and 500 pounds of food for the food shelf donated during the massed band concert.
The next School Board meeting will be held at the Morrison County Government Center Tuesday, April 2, at 5 p.m.

Resources for Investigating Investor Restrictions on Mortgage Modifications
Our guide on how to investigate the investors' contract that governs your mortgage.
Loan servicers regularly tell homeowners that investors or investor restrictions prohibit mortgage modifications, but ProPublica has found that the contracts governing these loans often aren't very limiting.
How a servicer can and can't modify a loan is laid out in a contract it has with investors, and the contracts are public information. Some homeowners' advocates have taken to looking at the contracts themselves to verify the barriers that servicers say exist. Finding the contracts, however, can be complicated. Here are some resources for digging up this type of information.
Getting professional guidance
Mortgage-backed securities are inherently complicated, so homeowners should consider getting help from a housing counselor. Free help from a HUD-certified counselor is available through the HOPE Hotline at 1-888-995-HOPE, or online through the HUD website. Be cautious of any private companies that ask for money upfront.
Counselors and advocates typically have more resources and connections than homeowners to work with servicers to reach a resolution. If they believe there's a legitimate problem with a servicer, they can escalate a case to an internal department at Fannie Mae, which administers the Making Home Affordable Program.
Finding the owner of a loan
To find the name of mortgage-backed security that owns a loan, send the servicer a "qualified written request" under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, which requires the servicer to acknowledge the request within 20 days and to try to answer the request within 60 days. HUD has a sample letter available online. Be sure to keep the request focused (long requests may be considered "unqualified") and ask for the full name of the security or trust that owns a loan. In the letter, you can also reference the section of the Truth in Lending Act (15 USC sec 1641 f2) that says:
"Upon written request by the obligor, the servicer shall provide the obligor, to the best knowledge of the servicer, with the name, address, and telephone number of the owner of the obligation or the master servicer of the obligation."
Alternately, foreclosure notices typically have the name of the trustee and the security listed on the letter or in the supporting documents. Keep in mind that the names of the securities are complicated. For example, the trust that owns the mortgage of Arthur and Alberta Bailey of Louisiana (mentioned in our story on investor-related denials) is called "CWABS Inc. Asset Backed Certificates 2006-9."
Reading the contracts
Pooling and Servicing Agreements (PSAs) and the prospectuses for mortgage-backed securities are available publicly on the Securities and Exchange Commission website, but they can be hard to find. Jeffrey Gentes, an attorney at the Connecticut Fair Housing Center, has been presenting instructions (PDF) to housing counselors on how to search the site for the contracts.
The contracts can be hundreds of pages long and difficult to understand, so review them with a housing counselor or an attorney to determine if there might be a problem with a servicer's denial of a mortgage modification.
Finally, securities issued in 2006 and after often submitted a full list of every loan in a pool to the SEC when the trust was created. These are usually filed in a "Free Writing Prospectus," which you can find on the SEC's website the same way as a PSA. These initial reports can be helpful, to confirm that a mortgage was actually owned in a particular security based on the loan number.
Finding investor reports of modifications
Trustees issue monthly reports to the investors in a security, which can be valuable because they report the modifications done in a loan pool. The reports are often publicly accessible online, though the sites can be hard to find and navigate. First, make sure to know the name of the security's trustee (not the issuer or servicer), which is in SEC documents (see above) or on foreclosure notices. Then try to find the exact trust, or "deal," on the trustee's website. Some sites are organized by the name of the trust, and others by the issuers of the security; it takes some digging. The reports for each trust can be different, but in general, modification stats are in the monthly summary statements or loan-level data.
Here are links for reporting sites at the four largest trustees in the country: Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, US Bank and Bank of New York Mellon, which includes securities where JPMorgan Chase was initially the trustee.

These points are exactly correct. I live in California and have found all my information just as written. I have posted the information including FOIA, OCC, OTS, SEC, and much more on scribd user name
b.daviesmd6605. Many hours of research has been done for free. I want to make all part of the solution
Brian, I tried viewing the doc's on scribd but they can't find them…. any suggestions? If you just respond to this message my email will alert me. Thanks!
You can also add ETrustee.net to the list of trustees. Formerly LaSalle Bank's site it is now owned by Bank of America.
Another great place for SEC Filings of PSA's is http://www.edgar-online.com
Hi, Brian. I'm also having difficulty locating your research. Could you please email me a link where I can find it?
Many thanks,
b.daviesmd6605 scribd
all my documents are on scribd. nearly 160,000 reads of these documents.
So Residential Credit Solutions tells me that Citibank is my investor. But Citibank says it isn't. RCS is turning me down based on Citi's "strict guidelines" and yet according to Citi, they sold me to RCS.
If you're talking "Who owns the mortgage & Note?" then send in a "Qualified Written Request" asking for the entire paper trail of everything that has ever concerned your note & Mortgage including each and every Assignment of each from any one entity to another, copies of any and all alonges, etc…, etc…, etc. If you're already in foreclosure then get the same thong through "Discovery" but be prepared to get the Court to compel the Plaintiff's for this stuff as they seem reluctant to provide it on a "timely basis".
John's right, Sarah. Break out the QWR and send it off to them. It won't accomplish much beyond showing a court that they refused to comply with your request for documentation but this is all about who has the better paper trail.
You should also hit your county registry/recorder of deeds and pull all of the assignments of mortgage that have been recorded. While you're there, check your mortgage again and see if MERS is involved. If they are, they will be disclosed within the first two pages or so.
If they ARE involved, grab the 18 digit MIN # from page 1 and plug it in to the MERS Servicer Identification System page @ https://www.mers-servicerid.org/sis/ . You'll at least find your servicer and possibly the note holder or "investor" as MERS calls them.

Foreclosure Crisis: Banks and Government Fail Homeowners
Banks and the government have fallen short in helping homeowners in danger of foreclosure.
The Story So Far
Systemic failures at the country's banks and mortgage servicers have exacerbated the most severe foreclosure crisis since the Great Depression, and government efforts to limit the damage have fallen short. ProPublica created an unrivaled database of homeowners who have faced foreclosure, opened a Facebook page to encourage homeowners to share their stories, wrote profiles of some of them, and incorporated their experiences into our reporting. We also provided a comprehensive rundown of the numbers behind the crisis.

Communications Minister
Senator Conroy denied claims reported in The Australian that recently appointed NBN Co chairwoman
The article said NBN Co's board was "increasingly frustrated" about Senator Conroy's "unfettered" intervention into the network build.
"The story was not correct and Siobhan is not quoted as saying it," Senator Conroy told The Australian Financial Review at the announcement of the ABC's new $90 million offices in Melbourne. "I have regular contact with Mike Quigley, as needed, and I speak with many other members of staff."
An NBN Co spokesman did not comment at time of publication.
Ms McKenna, a Ten Network director who joined NBN Co's board in 2009, was appointed chairwoman in late March after her predecessor,
'Wrong choice'
Opposition communications spokesman
"I expect there will be considerable changes in the management level," he said last month. "As far as the board is concerned, I think you can assume there will be very considerable changes there."
Senator Conroy refused to comment when asked whether Productivity Commissioner
Mr Harris told the Financial Review on Thursday that he supported "maximising the utility" of a network such as the NBN, "rather than maximising the profitability of the network".
Concerns have been raised as to whether Mr Harris, who previously headed Senator Conroy's department, would be able to provide an independent NBN assessment at the commission. "I haven't read his speech so I don't know what he said and I'm not in a position to comment until I've read his speech," Senator Conroy said.

Middletown Township is a township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 45,436 at the 2010 census. Many sections of Levittown, Pennsylvania, are located in the southern end of the township. The municipality surrounds the boroughs of Langhorne, Langhorne Manor, Penndel and Hulmeville; much of the township beyond Levittown uses Langhorne, Pennsylvania as a mailing address.
Also located within the township is Core Creek Park. The township also has many acres of protected woods, the largest being the woods behind Neshaminy High School. The Neshaminy Creek flows through these woods. There are also a few protected farms, significantly that of Styer's Orchards, which was saved from turning into the site of 632 homes in the late 1990s.

After several years of observing Western Hemisphere security issues, an interest tit for tat has finally seems to have developed in the think tank community.
There is a great deal of disagreement throughout the government, and the think tank world, on the question of whether radical Islamist terrorism poses a regional threat in the Americas. If we remove Canada, Mexico, and the United States from that analysis, even I do not think it is that cut and dry.
For two great views on the subject, read the following: Are Criminals, Terrorists, and Bolivarians Teaming Up Against the United States? (Stewart J. Patrick, Council of Foreign Relations) and Transnational Organized Crime, Terrorism, and Criminalized States in Latin America: An Emerging Tier-One National Security Priority (Douglas Farah, International Assessment and Strategy Center).
I recall reading about decade ago "A Strategic Warning: Brazil" by renowned CIA analyst Constantine Menges. Menges warned about the growing influence of a more sophisticated class of leftist leaders who would be taking the fight to the enemy, the United States, in non-traditional ways for that group of people. Menges, who passed away in July 2004, had been warning folks of this for some time, even before 09.11.01.
No longer working in the government, I have no idea what is really happening in these countries except to conclude that they are breeding grounds for bad actors who wish ill on the United States. The matter needs to be studied closely. New tools must be developed to counter, what Secretary Donald Rumsfeld calls the unknown unknowns. Just because it is not there now, does not mean it will not be there in the future.
In the case of certain countries, Middle Eastern terror links have existed since before 09.11.01. That alone should be cause for concern.

Previously, we mentioned Task One's Dunnytown customs and showed off the first three in the series. Now, we're getting a glimpse at the next 6 in the seroes. Three — the wood and stone houses and city hall-style Dunnys — were August releases and have already been sold, but the three September releases are available now. Those three? They're a 7-Eleven Dunny, a Motel Dunny, and a Treehouse Dunny we don't have a picture of at the moment. [UPDATE: Picture received!]
I love the 7-Eleven Dunny, including the little parking lot and the appropriate colors for the building. You can pick up the 7-Eleven, Motel and Treehouse Dunnys in Task One's shop for US$60 each. I might think of getting the 7-Eleven one ... what about you?

Situated just outside Edinburgh, West Lothian is one of Scotland's unitary council areas, and has seen the births of Alex Salmond, David Tennant and Susan Boyle.
The area is rapidly gaining wider recognition as Scotland's economic hub, which has given rise to increasing levels of employment. Sitting between Glasgow and Edinburgh, it is within an hour's drive of 60% of Scotland's population, which is ideal for staff members of the numerous businesses positioned there. Supermarket giant Tesco has a large distribution centre in Livingston, which is the largest town in West Lothian and is situated in the east of the area, 15miles west of Edinburgh. Broadcasting company BSkyB also has a number of offices in Livingston. The area is also home to a selection of new and smaller businesses. Livingston presents a high level of opportunity for recruitment agencies in Scotland, as a variety of international businesses have offices in the area.
80.1% of the West Lothian population of 16-64 year olds are educated to NVQ1 level of education, a figure that is just shy of that for the whole of Scotland. Of the 113,800 people between the ages of 16 and 64, 74.4% are in employment in comparison to 70.8% for the whole of Scotland.

" Type: Other Ready Meals "
I was diagnosed with coeliac disease at the tender age of four, and I'm really glad, because unlike coeliacs diagnosed in adulthood, I have no recollection of what food made from wheat products tastes like, meaning that I don't miss any particular foods. There are, however, a lot of foods out there that my friends love, that I've never tasted, and I'm keen to know what all the fuss is about!
Mexican is one of these- you'll find very few gluten free meals in Mexican restaurants, so I've always felt a bit excluded from the world of fajitas and enchiladas, which my friends love. This kit was the answer to problems!
Up until a few months ago, this kit was available in most supermarkets for around £3, although a quick look online makes me wonder if Discovery are still producing this all in one pack- it seems you may only be able to buy kits specifically designed for making fajitas, enchiladas etc, which is a real shame, but I'm sure the basic ingredients will be the same.
This pack contains 8 corn tortillas, which you can either cook soft (in the microwave) or crunchy (in the oven) depending on the recipe you use, a small sachet of enchilada sauce (very spicy, so use sparingly!), and a sachet of fajita seasoning. On the back of the box it comes in are several quick and simple recipes for making Mexican meals, some involving mince (including an oven baked one), and, my personal favourite, chicken enchiladas. The recipes are really easy to follow, and you only need a couple of extra ingredients (chicken, onion and pepper in the case of the enchilada recipe). The products can be stored in a cupboard and have a long use by date, so it's really handy for having in stock.
The result is a meal that I would happily serve to my gluten eating friends, as it is very tasty. Now I can see why they all rave about Mexican!
A versatile meal kit containing tortillas, enchilada sauce, and fajita seasoning which can be adapted to make a variety of Mexican dishes.

Now that I've been able to successfully add mileage without issue, I've also added speed work into my weekly bag of tricks in the form of Yasso 800s. My first two weeks were each 6x800 and the second time around was far more successful than the first. So much so, that it was suggested (and I was considering it already myself!) that maybe I could nudge down my goal times from 3:30 to 3:20... after all, rep #6 came in at a blazing 3:00.
Well, this week is a recovery week. Last week was huge for me - I managed to pull off a longest run record of 13 miles which also allowed me to record a longest week record of 31 miles. That puts me to this week, which is recovery.
For my recovery week, I do everything just as I otherwise would... aim for the same paces and splits, just do less... recognizing that every so often ya just gotta forget the watch and take it easy, though, too. I figured that now's as good a time as ever to test out that theory... it's a shortened workout, 4x800 at 3:20 should be easy then, right?
#1 - 3:21
#2 - 3:24
#3 - 3:25
#4 - 3:28
As of the third rep, my heartrate was already rolling around a 183-187. I slowed it down a little for the fourth, but still had my heartbeat right around max. While not absolutely killer, those two reps were tough. The difference between my speed work last week and speed work this week, though, was basically the weather.
Last week: 75-80 degrees, overcast and rainy with a downpour during reps 4 and 5 that cooled me off nicely.
This week: 95 degrees, humid and sunny.
Apparently those 20 degrees are more or less equivalent to 10-15 seconds per 800. It's good to know for future planning - don't even think of pushing numbers on those hot, humid summer afternoons. Save that for the nice days.
(P.S. Today marks the beginning of week 4 (day 22!) of my own personal streak... speed work and long runs included! :-D )

OLOW's fall/winter collection "Territoires inconnus," or "Unknown Territories," continues the heritage workwear trend. Beige chinos, thick forest green shawl pullovers, and LL Bean-styled sneakers are just some of the pieces that embody this most recent release. Knitted charcoal beanies, navy cardigans, Fair Isle tracksuits and chambray button-ups are also included as common pieces in unconventional formats. To how they are styled, each look is built off a simple graphic tee including a sketch of a lumberjack that shares an uncanny resemblance to the model in question. OLOW prides itself on its craftsmanship — even including candid photos of their workshop in France — which gives them the upper hand over many of its other heritage competitors without too much of a price markup.

In honor of the one-year anniversary of the world's first partial face transplant, Freaking News is having a contest in which nerds with free time can give Photoshop face transplants to famous faces. The whole thing's pretty weird, but even weirder is that, after a bad day and several drinks, I probably wouldn't immediately rule out the Paris/Jessica Frankenstein thing if it was hitting on me at closing time. I've got a feeling another crowd favorite is probably gonna be the cute-ass-pirate meld of Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp. Do you think they're gross?
• Equal Opportunity Objectification
• Afternoon LCD Roundup
• Do You See a Resemblance?
• Yeah, Today's Hate on Trump Day, So Sue Me (Not Really, Though)
Is the Keira Knightly and Natlie Portman???
At least Paris' wonky eye is not present.....
Jessica looks better. It looks more like Jessica. Even though they used a pic of Paris cause I think I recognize the dress and hair-do. I THINK. Don't quote me. I'm pretty sure that started as Paris. Makes Jessica look really good, Skinny and Paris look ALOT better. Especially in the nose. I like it, even with the different color/size eyes. HA HA
If I stare at it long enough, it starts to look like Nick Lachey, LOL...
Yeah that's deff Keira and Natalie.
That is some scary shit.
holy crap, that's so scary!
That picture of Paris/Jessica looks like Paris got punched in the mouth and forgot a contact.
That one of Natalie and Keira is really pretty! Of course they are both gorgeous to begin with...
Keira and Natalie already look identical anyway.

Dancing with the Stars host Brooke Burke says that she's done having babies – despite the fact that her husband David Charvet would like at least one more!
"David would say yes [to more kids] but no, we're not going to have any more," the beautiful mom-of-four tells E! "We have enough. I'm so blessed to have my four. I actually need to give more of myself to the children that I have… having another baby, I just feel like I can't divide and conquer anymore."
Looking ahead to Christmas, Brooke, 40, says what she'd really like is a little bit of down time.
"I would like a good night's sleep," laughs the busy mom. "I want a full page in my calendar that's blank and empty that's for mandatory R&R."
Brooke has kids Rain and Shaya with David and daughters Neriah and Sierra with ex-husband Garth Fisher.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is known for its powerful display and the wide range of software features that it comes with. But one of the highlights of the smartphone which the company heavily endorsed is the fingerprint scanner on the front and more importantly the heart rate monitor below the camera sensor. One of Samsung's senior VP Rhee In-jong has now mentioned in a forum that these sensors could be added with its midrange offerings as well.
We haven't seen Samsung utilize these sensors in other devices apart from the Galaxy S5 as of yet, but that could change soon. These features could certainly appeal to the midrange audience given that a large number of Samsung's mobile revenues come from midrange devices.
It is yet to be seen whether Samsung will adopt this feature in tablets, which could make more sense as well considering that the company's tablet sales are on the rise as well. It is being said that the company is looking to add other sensors such as an iris scanner, which has long been rumored, although it seems like we might have to wait a bit for this one.

Decent eyelinerIt has a great color that really brings out my brown eyes, and glides on very smoothly.

Good, until I tried other pencilsWhen I first ventured into color liners, I tried out the purple one. I thought the color was fantastic and it looked great on and lasted most of the day.

looks more naturalI bought the purple amethyst color to bring out the green in my eyes. It looks a lot more natural than black eyeliner (which i love!), but it doesn't last all day.

First Look: Chiwetel Ejiofor & Others in McQueen's '12 Years a Slave'
by Alex Billington
June 19, 2013
Source: USA Today
Get a first look at one of this season's top awards contenders. Fox Searchlight has released a batch of photos introducing us to Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor as Solomon Northup, a man living in New York during the mid-1800s who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the deep south. His first owner is a Baptist preacher played by Benedict Cumberbatch. And Michael Fassbender plays vile owner Edwin Epps. McQueen on what got to him: "It's the situation and the detail of Solomon's recollection of those events that ingrained itself in my brain, and the humanity of everyone involved." See them below.
"He's like a Sidney Poitier or even Harry Belafonte… There's a certain kind of class and dignity about him."
On the far left is actor Dwight Henry from Beasts of the Southern Wild with Ejiofor in 12 Years a Slave:
For more on the film and info about the people in these photos, visit USA Today. Stay tuned for the trailer.
Steve McQueen's Twelve Years a Slave stars Chiwetel Ejiofor (of Serenity, Kinky Boots, Children of Men, American Gangster, Salt) as Solomon Northup, a man living in New York during the mid-1800s who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the deep south. The film has an incredible ensemble cast to go along, featuring Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Beasts nominee Quvenzhané Wallis, Dwight Henry, Paul Giamatti, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sarah Paulson, Michael K. Williams and Marcus Lyle Brown. Fox Searchlight has the film scheduled for limited release on December 27th, 2013 right in the middle of the awards season.
