Wall Street Webcasting Presents Wells Fargo Securities: The 10-Year Treasury Is At An Inflection Point
Wall Street Webcasting presents exclusive video of Rich Gordon, the highly regarded Fixed Income Market Strategist of Wells Fargo Securities (NYSE: WFC). This week Gordon reviews the past months "great rotation" out of bonds into stocks. Friday's Nonfarm Payroll Report released data reporting that 236,000 jobs were created, showing continued strength in the private sector. This report helped drive the Dow Jones to another record high on Friday.
A look at the Volatility Markets help confirm this trend, with bond investors having more worries about hedging to sharp price declines from the current levels seen. The VIX Index dropped to 11% Monday for the first time in 11 years while Swaps and Volatility reached the highest levels since last September on Friday.
To hear Gordon's analysis of the 10-Year Treasury Yield and where the sources of concern for bond investors are, tune into Wells Fargo Securities' newest video.

Unfortunately, Anne did not win the Golden Globe for her performance in Love & Other Drugs. The award went instead to Annette Bening. Although disappointed that Anne didn't win, I'm sure Annette did an amazing job and I send out my heartfelt congratulations to her.
Very exciting news Anne fans!!

Anne is the host of tonight's Saturday Night Live. I'll try to have screencaptures up tomorrow for you all. You can view her promo clip after the cut.
As adorable as Anne looked in the photos I posted earlier, her reps have told Us Magazine that she did not get her haircut.
I have to admit I'm kind of disappointed. I really though Anne looked fantastic with the pixie-ish cut.

Wedding: 11/2/2013
Thomas served as DJ and MC for our wedding, and we could not have asked for a better experience! From the beginning, Thomas was professional, accommodating, and incredibly organized. It was a breeze working with him, from initial contact all the way to execution. Thomas brought a wonderful energy to the wedding, made sure our program progressed on time, and kept our guests dancing all night long. It was a true pleasure working with him! We highly recommend Eevents DJ Services - THANK YOU!!
Wedding: 10/19/2014
Thomas from eeventsdj.com was wonderful! From the moment we started discussing our wedding with Thomas, he was quick to respond to emails, always answered all questions thoroughly, and often offered ideas or tips in regards to our itinerary, set up, etc. He knew our priority was to keep our guests happy and dancing and he did just that. Also, he emceed the wedding...from the moment I (the bride) arrived at the venue, he made it stress free for me, making the ceremony and reception run smoothly with effortless transitions and a very fun vibe. We would use Thomas again in a heart beat!
Wedding: 10/6/2013
We love Thomas! He made our wedding extra special with the purple uplighting, playing music everybody loved, providing ceremony microphones and music, and emceeing our reception ! He is worth every penny and he is a true industry professional! He was responsive through emails in the months before our wedding, he checked in with us during the reception, and he kept the party jumping!
Wedding: 5/18/2013
My husband and I are so happy we decided to go with Thomas to be our wedding DJ! Can not say enough good things!
We were very unsure about the whole process of choosing a dj for our wedding. How do you know if someone is going to suit what you are looking for and capture what you imagined?! After meeting with Thomas we felt really comfortable and confident in his abilities. He seemed to "get us" and understand the vide we were going for. We were anticipating an interesting dancing crowd so we just crossed our fingers that things would work out. We couldn't have been happier with how things went! Thomas was great about feeling out the crowd as to what people were feeling or not. He was even able to get some people out there who we thought wouldn't! ;) He really helped create that fun vibe we were looking for during the "party" part of our wedding but also did perfect with the ceremony and dinner part of the reception!
He was also extremely helpful with making sure that we stuck with our timeline. I was a little worried in the beginning about how we would get things to run smoothly but he assured me he would be helping out with that and he really kept his word! He was super helpful and knew just what/when things should be done. He was a wonderful MC.
The last thing you want to worry about on your wedding day is making sure everything is running smooth and that people are enjoying themselves. If your looking for an experienced, reliable, organized, AFFORDABLE and all around great DJ he's the guy hands down!
Thanks again Thomas!
Wedding: 3/26/2011
Thomas Gomez is wonderful and you can't go wrong going with his DJ services. He's responsive, personable, high-quality, and affordable.
I actually had never met Thomas until the day of our wedding due to my planning from out of town. When I first spoke to him on the phone, I was initially nervous because he didn't strike me as being very outgoing. Even later on, I found out that he is not a full-time DJ and has another 24/7 job that he is on-call on even when he DJs weddings. However, despite all that, and after our frequently exchanged emails, pictures, and YouTube clips, and after my fiancé and mom met with him, I became much more comfortable with having him as our DJ.
He was very in tune with our needs and was quick to respond via email or phone to any question or request that we made. Even when we'd make last minute changes to our music playlists or wedding program timeline up until the days before the wedding, Thomas was responsive and followed most of what we asked. He played almost all of our must-play songs, making our evening even more spectacular when I could hear our hand-picked tunes being played, and he avoided all our do-not-play songs.
In addition to Thomas' DJ services, his uplighting was fantastic and really transformed the atmosphere. It's an excellent affordable service that he provides that many DJs do not. He was also diligent and really thorough with his preparation work. We were impressed that he went to the venue well in advance with my mom and spoke with our coordinator to figure out details for his set up. I really appreciated his demo of his uplighting equipment through YouTube to give me a better sense of what to expect for our evening. Thomas also even went a second time with my fiancé to the venue to pick up a visitor's pass since our venue was a military base with restricted access.
I very much appreciated his special worksheet that he had my fiancé and me fill out to help us outline the evening's events, and how he gave us suggestions if we got stuck on any one area. He was quick to ask for the contacts for our coordinator, photographer, videographer, Best Man, Maid of Honor, and Emcee to help coordinate the evening's timeline and make our night our perfect night.
On the day of the wedding, Thomas arrived early and had everything set up, just as promised. He worked extremely well, and was very supportive and encouraging of my brother, who was rather nervous being our reception Emcee. They were both engaging and they really got the crowd going to have fun, whether we were swing dancing, doing the Cha Cha Slide, or even a Conga line!
If there were any reservations I had about choosing Thomas, it was in the beginning when I first chatted with him on the phone. He didn't seem as exuberant as some other DJs we chatted with, so I was concerned about his lack of extroversion. He didn't sound as eager to share the mic with my brother Emcee either, and the wording of his contract was rather strange and elusive. However, he got to working on the contract wording for future clients, and on the night of, he really delivered and supported my brother all night long!
We're so glad we decided to go with Thomas, and we'd highly recommend him for your next big event!
Wedding: 5/15/2011
Thomas at EeventsDJ was great! Everything I was expecting.
Wedding: 4/2/2011
Thomas is the perfect DJ for your wedding! He was easy to work with and flexible, accommodating our last minute requests for music as well as offering to extend his services for an extra hour if needed at minimal cost. The lighting he provided for our wedding reception was incredible -- it really set the mood for dinner as well as dancing afterward. He is energetic and fun. He encouraged all guests to get out on the dance floor -- the highlight of the evening was the Conga line he initiated with the groom leading the show! Everyone had a great time, largely due to his ability to set the mood and organize the evening. I would definitely choose Thomas to be my DJ again, and so should you!

Best Combination of RTS & TBSMacerV | Oct. 11, 2014 | See all MacerV's reviews »
Perfectly combines RTS & TBS into cohesive gameplay which gives the player both ownership and pride in their nation as they strive for uniting the world under one banner. Quite honestly this is the best strategy game I have EVER played, sinking over 100 hours of gameplay with my original CD! Unfortunately the CD just stopped working so couldn't play it anymore, but I am extremely excited that they've put it on digital release, and with an expansion to boot!
Overall this game is practically perfect, the only gripe I have ever had with the game (and why it gets only 99) is that it always seemed to end too quickly…even after over 15 hours of gameplay. I just wished the regions were broken down just a tad more, just to have an excuse to play even more.
Perfect Simulation type gamephilip08533 | Aug. 28, 2014 | See all philip08533's reviews »
RoN became very fast my favorite strategy games once it got released at 2003 and later with its expasion at 2004. I love it as it consists of gameplay of all eras. Starting with your slignshots and swords, and improving until you get missiles and stealth bombers.Get it now. Don't even think about something else. This game is the best. Prepare to get nuked and frustrated. This game is exactly how you remember it and if you don't you should probably see now.
Brings back good memoriesdarkyhbk | June 19, 2014 | See all darkyhbk's reviews »
Rise of Nations was one of my favourite games as a kid, and I still regard it as one of the best RTS games to have graced the scene. Gameplaywise, it's a mix between Age of Empires and Empire Earth, getting the best out of the two. The resource micromanagement is simple, but basis to a complex system of buildings, upgrades and research options. Each nation, and there are a lot of them, has its own specific units and bonuses, and it's a joy to experiment with each and every one of them. The game stretches from Antiquity all the way to the modern age, enabling an astonishing variety of units and tactics. In this repack you get both the original Conquer the World campaign, and the Thrones and Patriots scenarios, including an Alexander the Great campaign and a Cold War espionage series of missions on the tactical map. There's been some graphic improvement, the most notable being the adapted resolution, but not much more is so apparent. This re-release could have improved and added some additional stuff, and it's a pity it didn't do it. Of course, keeping everything classy, 11 years after the original's release is a plus, and everybody who didn't get a chance to enjoy this masterpiece should definitely do it !
Everything is Better With Nostalgia Goggles.wolfister1590 | June 16, 2014 | See all wolfister1590's reviews »
(Just going to get this out of the way first, this is not a bad game) When Rise of Nations released back in 2003 I remember saving up my money and getting it, because it looked so amazing. I have very fond memories of playing the game, building up huge forces, seeing the buildings change through the ages, and just being incredibly fun. Yet now playing it again after a decade, and being older I have found that this game had some serious problems with it.
I had forgotten about that bloody timer. Yes this is a little gem that I guess I had blocked out of my memories of playing RoN, since it just provided nothing but extreme frustration. I guess when the devs put it in it was a way to try to keep the player from being able to build huge booming cities that could churn out resources and units faster than the AI. I am not sure what the devs were thinking but this is an old issue that I wanted to touch on.
It really is the same exact game just slightly unscaled in resolution. This is good and bad at the same time. It keeps the things you loved about old RTS games like base building, unit production, building defenses, and overwhelming with superior force. It also keeps the not so great aspects such as the not very bright AI, the difficulty that does not ramp up well (from easy to moderate it is like jumping from a pillow fight with a bunch of kittens, to a 9ft tall wall of a person with a club slowly smashing you into paste).
Look the bottom line is that if you enjoyed this game back in the day and continued to play it for enough years that you can remember all the problems as well as the good things, then yes buy this it is a great way to play a pretty damn good game on a modern PC. If you have not played this game in a decade and only remember the fun I might say to just leave it that way. let those memories stay as rose colored as possible. Also if you are new to RTS and want to experience an absolutely amazing old school RTS then maybe pick up Empire Earth 2.
Amazing game!drafek | June 16, 2014 | See all drafek's reviews »
I've had this game for ages, but now it's on steam, and I can tell you pick it up right now! The graphics are amazing but that's not the most important thing, the gameplay. The gameplay in rise of nations is amazing, no gameplay will be the same. There are alot of maps to play on. The music in this game is great, it fits the game really well. The textures have been upgraded iin the extended edition which is a great feature. The multiplayer battles are really cool, but if you forget just 1 thing there's a big chance you'll get conquered. Overall this game is worth every penny!

Torquay is the gem of the English Riviera on the South Devon Coast and has been one of the UK's top destinations for coastal holidays since Victorian Times.
Benefiting from its famously mild climate the town nestles among seven green hills, from where grand Victorian villas and terraces look out over wide expanse of Torbay.
This Devon town was the birthplace and home of internationally- renowned crime writer Agatha Christie, and is steeped in history, from the historic caves of Kents Cavern, to the World War II slipways at Beacon Quay.
Torquay's waterfront is the natural focus for the town. The seafront gardens, palm-lined promenade and harbour with its marina conjure up images of the South of France. There are plenty of pavement cafes, pubs, restaurants and nightlife in the town with good quality shops and a host of attractions to suit every interest.
Further afield there are 22 miles of coastline, cliffs, coves and beaches and some of the best walks in the South West of England. Opportunities abound for all manner of watersports - surfing, swimming, diving, sailing, angling and more.
The natural crescent shape of the bay ensure stunning views can be seen over the English Channel, along the 40 miles of Lyme Bay to Portland Bill or inland towards the Tors of Dartmoor.
Torquay is also an ideal base from which to visit Dartmouth, Totnes, Exeter and Plymouth.

#1 - Irene
Irene was a 20-year-old college student, with an engaging personality but not many friends. She came to the clinic complaining of excessive anxiety and general difficulties in controlling her life. Everything was a catastrophe for Irene. Although she carried a 3.7 grade point average she was convinced that she would flunk every test she took. As a result, she repeatedly threatened to drop courses after only several weeks of classes because she feared that she would not understand the material
Irene worried until she dropped out of the first college she attended after 1 month. She felt depressed for a while, then decided to take a couple of courses at a local junior college, believing she could handle the work there better. After achieving straight As at the junior college for 2 years, she enrolled once again in a 4-year college as a junior. After a short time she began calling the clinic in a state of extreme agitation, saying that she had to drop this or that course because she couldn't handle it. With great difficulty, her therapist and parents persuaded her to stay in the courses and to seek further help. In any course Irene completed, her grade was between an A and a B-minus, but she still worried about every test and every paper, afraid that she would fall apart and be unable to understand and complete the work.
Irene did not worry only about school. She was also concerned about relationships with her friends, and whenever she was with her new boyfriend she feared making a fool of herself and losing his interest. In fact, she reported that each date went extremely well, but she knew the next one would probably be a disaster. As the relationship progressed and some sexual contact seemed natural, Irene was worried sick that her inexperience would make her boyfriend consider her naive and stupid. Nevertheless, she reported enjoying the early sexual contact and admitted that he seemed to enjoy it also, but she was convinced that the next time a catastrophe would happen.
Irene was also concerned about her health. She had minor hypertension, probably because she was somewhat overweight. She then approached every meal as if death itself might result if she ate the wrong types or amounts of food. She became reluctant to have her blood pressure checked for fear that it would be very high, or to weigh herself for fear that she was not losing weight. She severely restricted her eating, and as a result had an occasional episode of binge eating, although not often enough to warrant concern.
In addition, Irene worried about her religious faith and about her relationships with her family, particularly her mother and sister. Although Irene had an occasional panic attack, this was not a major issue to her. As soon as the panic subsided she focused on the next possible catastrophe. In addition to high blood pressure, Irene had tension headaches and a "nervous stomach," with a lot of gas, occasional diarrhea, and some abdominal pain.
Irene's life was a series of impending catastrophes. Her mother reported that she dreaded a phone call from Irene, let alone a visit, because she knew that she would have to see her daughter through a crisis. For the same reason, Irene had very few friends. Even so, when she temporarily gave up her anxiety she was really fun to be with.
#2 - Ryan
I first met Ryan on his 17th birthday. Unfortunately, he was celebrating the event in a psychiatric hospital. He had been truant from school for several months and had gotten into some trouble; the local judge who heard his case had recommended psychiatric evaluation one more time, though Ryan had been hospitalized six previous times, all for problems related to drug use and truancy. He was a veteran of the system and already knew most of the staff. I interviewed him to assess why he was admitted this time, and to recommend treatment.
My first impression was that Ryan was cooperative and pleasant. He pointed out a tattoo on his arm that he had made himself, saying that it was a "stupid" thing to have done, and that he now regretted it. In fact, he regretted many things and was looking forward to moving on with his life. I later found out that he was never truly remorseful for anything. Our second interview was quite different. During those 48 hours, Ryan had done a number of things that showed why he needed a great deal of help. The most serious incident involved a 15-year-old girl named Ann who attended class with Ryan in the hospital school. Ryan had told her that he was going to get himself discharged, get in trouble, and be sent to the same prison Ann's father was in, where he would rape her father. Ryan's threat so upset Ann that she hit her teacher and several of the staff. When I spoke to Ryan about this, he smiled slightly and said he was bored and that it was fun to upset Ann. When I asked whether it bothered him that his behavior might extend her stay in the hospital, he looked puzzled and said, "Why should it bother me? She's the one who'll have to stay in this hell hole!"
Just before Ryan's admittance, a teenager in his town was murdered. A group of teens went to the local cemetery at night to perform satanic rituals and a young man was stabbed to death, apparently over a drug purchase. Ryan was in the group, although he did not stab the boy. He told me that they occasionally dug up graves to get skulls for their parties; not because they really believed in the devil, but because it was fun and it scared the younger kids. I asked, "What if this were the grave of someone you knew, a relative or a friend? Would it bother you that strangers were digging up the remains?" He shook his head, "They're dead, man; they don't care. Why should I?"
Ryan told me he loved PCP, or "angel dust," and that he would rather be dusted than anything else. He routinely made the 2-hour trip to New York City to buy drugs in a particularly dangerous neighborhood. He denied that he was ever nervous. This wasn't machismo; he really seemed unconcerned.
Ryan made little progress. I discussed his future in family therapy sessions and we talked about his pattern of showing supposed regret and remorse, and then stealing money from his parents and going back onto the street. In fact, most of our discussions centered on trying to give his parents the courage to say no to him and not to believe his lies. One evening, after many sessions, Ryan said that he had seen the "error of his ways" and that he felt bad that he had hurt his parents. If they would only take him home this one last time, he would be the son that he should have been all these years. His speech moved his parents to tears, and they looked at me gratefully as if to thank me for curing their son. When Ryan finished talking, I smiled, applauded, told him it was the best performance I had ever seen. His parents turned on me in anger. Ryan paused for a second, then he too smiled and said, "It was worth a shot!" Ryan's parents were astounded that he had once again tricked them into believing him; he hadn't meant a word of what he had just said.
Ryan was eventually discharged to a drug rehabilitation program. Within 4 weeks, he had convinced his parents to take him home, and within 2 days he had stolen all their cash and disappeared; he apparently went back to his friends and to drugs.
#3 - Cheryl
Cheryl is 42 years old and had been employed as a part-time accountant for the past ten years. Cheryl describes her childhood as unhappy, and says, "Things just got worse as I grew up." Until recently, Cheryl was able to function normally in her job and in her family responsibilities. But over the past year her family has become increasingly concerned about disturbances in her behavior. For at least a month she has withdrawn from family life, staying in bed for days at a time, refusing to cook or eat or go to work. She lost 15 pounds without trying to lose weight, and claims to have no energy or desire to do anything. She weeps frequently and for no apparent reason. She went through a similar episode about seven months ago, but she snapped out of it after a few weeks. Although her employer was supportive during that first episode, after several weeks of this latest display of erratic behavior, the company fired Cheryl four days ago. She has not bathed since that time, and she rarely leaves her room or talks to family members, and when she does, she walks and talks very slowly.
#4 - Mr. Simpson
Mr. Simpson is a 44-year-old, single, unemployed, white man brought to the emergency room by the police for striking an elderly woman in his apartment building. His chief complaint is, "That damn bitch. She and the rest of them deserved more than that for what they put me though."
The patient has been continuously ill since age 22. During his first year of law school, he gradually became more and more convinced that his classmates were making fun of him. He noticed that they would snort and sneeze whenever he entered the classroom. When a girl he was dating broke off the relationship with him, he believed that she had been "replaced" by a look-alike. He called the police and asked for their help to solve the "kindapping." His academic perormance in school delcined dramatically, and he was asked to leave and seek psychiatric care.
Mr. Simpson got a job as an investment counselor at a bank, which he held for 7 months. However, he was getting an increasing number of distracting "signals" from co-workers, and he became more and more suspicious and withdrawn. It was at this time that he first reporated hearing voices. He was eventually fired, and soon thereafter was hospitalized for the first time, at age 24. He has not worked since.
Mr. Simpson has been hospitalized 12 times, the longest stay being 8 months. However, in the last 5 years he has been hospitalized only once, for 3 weeks. During the hospitalizations he has received various antipsychotic drugs. Although optpatient medication has been prescribed, he usuallys stops taking it shortly after leaving the hospital. Aside form twice-yearly lunch meetings with his uncle and his contacts with mental health workers, he is totally isolated socially. He lives on his own and manages his own financial affairs, including a modest inheritance. He read the Wall Street Journal daily. He cooks and cleans for hmself.
Mr. Simpson maintains that his apartment is the center of a large communication system that involves all the major television networks, his neighbors, and apparently hundreds of "actors" in his neighborhood. Thre are secret cameras in his apartment that carefully monitor all his activities. When he is watching TV, many of his minor actions (e.g., going to the bathroom) are soon direclty commented on by the announcer. Whenever he goes outside, the "actors" have all been warned to keep him under surveillance. Everyone on the street watches him. His neighbors operate two different "machines"; one is responsible for all of his voices, except the "joker." He is not certain who controls this voice, which "visits" him only occasionally and is very funny. The other voices, which he hears many tmes each day, are generated by this machine, which he sometimes thinks is directly run by the neighbor whom he attacked. For example, when he is going over his investments, these "harassing" voices constantly tell him which stocks to buy. The other machines he calls "the dream machine." This machine puts erotic dreams into his head, usually of "black women."
Mr. Simpson describes other unusual experiences. For example, he recently went to a shoe store 30 miles from this house in the hope of getting some shoes that wouldn't be "altered." However, he soon found out that, like the rest of the shoes he buys, special nails had been put into the bottom of the shoes to annoy him. He was amazed that his decision concerning which shoe store to go to must have been known to his "harassers" before he himself knew it, so that they had time to get the altered shoes made up especially for him. He realized that great effort and "millions of dollars" are inovlved in keeping him under survelliance. He sometimes thinks this is all part of a large experiment to discover the secret of his "superior intelligence."
At the interview, Mr. Simpson is well-groomed and his speech is coherent and goal-directed. His affect is, at most, only mildly blunted. He was initially very angry at being brought in by the police. After several psychotic symptoms, he was transferred to a long-stay facility with a plan to arrange a structured living situation for him.
#5 - Claire
I have known Claire for over 25 years and have watched her through the good but mostly bad times of her often shaky and erratic life. Claire and I went to school together from the eighth grade through high school, and we've kept in touch periodically. My earliest memory of her is of her hair, which was cut short and rather unevenly. She told me that when things were not going well she cut her own hair severely, which helped to "fill the void." I later found out that the long sleeves she usually wore hid scars and cuts that she had made herself. Claire was the first of our friends to smoke. What was unusual about this and her later drug use was not that they occurred (this was in the 1960s when "If it feels good, do it!" hadn't been replaced by "Just say no!") or that they began early; it was that she didn't seem to use them to get attention, like everyone else. Claire was also one of the first whose parents divorced, and both of them seemed to abandon her emotionally. She later told me that her father was an alcoholic who had regularly beaten her and her mother. She did poorly in school and had very low self-esteem. She frequently said she was stupid and ugly, yet she was obviously neither.
Throughout our school years, Claire left town periodically, without any explanation. I learned many years later that she was in psychiatric facilities to get help with her suicidal depression. She often threatened to kill herself, although we didn't guess that she was serious.
In our later teens we all drifted away from Claire. She had become more and more unpredictable, sometimes berating us for a perceived slight ("You're walking too fast. You don't want to be seen with me!"), and at other times desperate to be around us. We were obviously confused by her behavior. With some people, emotional outbursts can bring you closer together. Unfortunately for Claire, these incidents and her overall demeanor made us feel that we didn't know her at all. As we all grew older, the "void" she described in herself became overwhelming and eventually shut us all out. Claire married twice, and both times had very passionate but stormy relationships interrupted by hospitalizations. She tried to stab her first husband during a particularly violent rage. She tried a number of drugs, but mainly used alcohol to "deaden the pain."
Now, in her mid-40s, things have calmed down some. Although she says she is rarely happy, Claire does feel a little better about herself and is doing well as a travel agent. Although she is seeing someone, she is reluctant to become very involved because of her personal history.
#6 - Emillio
Emilio is a 40-year-old man who looks 10 years younger. He is brought to the hospital, his twelfth hospitalization, by his mother because she is afraid of him. He is dressed in a ragged overcoat, bedroom slippers, and a basebnall cap, and wears several medals around hi s neck. His affect ranges from anger at his mother ("She feeds me shit ... what comes out of other people's rectums") to a giggling, obsequious seductiveness toward the interveiwer. His speech and manner have a childlike quality, and he walks with a mincing step and exaggerated hip movements. His mother reports that he stopped taking his medication about a month ago, and has since begun to hear voices and to look and act more bizarrely. When asked what he has been doing, he says, "Eating wires and lighting fires." His spontaneous speech is often incoherent and marked by frequent rhyming and clang associations (speech in which sounds, rather than meaningful relationships, govern word choice).
Emilio's first hospitalization occurred after he dropped out of school at age 16, and since that time he has never been able to attend school or hold a job. He has been treated with neuroleptics during his hospitalizations, but doesn't continue to take medication when he leaves, so he quickly becomes disorganized again. He lives with his elderly mother, but sometimes disappears for several months at a time, and is eventually picked up by the police as he wanders in the streets. There is no known history of drug or alcohol abuse.
#7 Richard
Richard, a 19-year-old college freshman majoring in philosophy, withdrew from school because of incapacitating ritualistic behavior. He abandoned personal hygiene because the compulsive rituals that he had to carry out during washing or cleaning were so time-consuming that he could do nothing else. Almost continual showering gave way to no showering. He stopped cutting and washing his hair and beard, brushing his teeth, and changing his clothes. He left his room infrequently and, to avoid rituals associated with the toilet, defecated on paper towels, urinated in paper cups, and stored the waste in the closet. He ate only late at night when his family was asleep. To be able to eat he had to exhale completely, making a lot of hissing noises, coughs, and hacks, and then fill his mouth with as much food as he could while no air was in his lungs. He would eat only a mixture of peanut butter, sugar, cocoa, milk, and mayonnaise. All other foods he considered contaminants. When he walked he took very small steps on his toes while continually looking back, checking and rechecking. On occasion he ran quickly in place. He withdrew his left arm completely from his shirt sleeve as if he were crippled and his shirt was a sling.
#8 - Gail
Gail was married at 21 and looked forward to a new life. As one of many children in a lower-middle-class household, she felt weak and somewhat neglected and suffered from low self-esteem. An older stepbrother berated and belittled her when he was drunk. Her mother and stepfather refused to listen to her or believe her complaints. But she believed that marriage would solve everything; she was finally someone special. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. She soon discovered her husband was continuing an affair with an old girlfriend.
Three years after her wedding Gail came to our clinic complaining of anxiety and stress. She was working part-time as a waitress and found her job extremely stressful. Although to the best of her knowledge her husband had stopped seeing his former girlfriend, she had trouble getting the affair out of her mind.
Although Gail complained initially of anxiety and stress, it soon became clear that her major concerns were about her health. Any time she experienced minor physical symptoms such as breathlessness or a headache, she was afraid that she had a serious illness. A headache indicated a brain tumor. Breathlessness was an impending heart attack. Other sensations were quickly elaborated into the possibility of AIDS or cancer. Gail was afraid to go to sleep at night for fear that she would stop breathing. She avoided exercise, drinking, and even laughing because the resulting sensations upset her. Public restrooms and, on occasion, public telephones were feared as sources of infection.
The major trigger of uncontrollable anxiety and fear was the news in the newspaper and on television. Each time an article or show appeared on the "disease of the month," Gail found herself irresistibly drawn into it, intently noting symptoms that were part of the disease. For days afterward she was vigilant, looking for the symptoms in herself and others. She even watched her dog closely to see whether he was coming down with the dreaded disease. Only with great effort could she dismiss these thoughts after several days. Real illness in a friend or relative would incapacitate her for days at a time.
Gail's fears developed during the first year of her marriage, around the time she learned of her husband's affair. At first, she spent a great deal of time and more money than they could afford going to doctors. Over the years she heard the same thing during each visit: "There's nothing wrong with you; you're perfectly healthy." Finally, she stopped going, as she became convinced that her concerns were excessive, but her fears did not go away and she was chronically miserable.
#9 - Khalil
Khalil is a 29-year-old mechanic who has been a pessimist all his life. He once owned and operated his own auto repair shop, but it turned into a financial disaster; he had to close the shop and take a temporary job as a janitor. He reports that he now feels like a failure and is ashamed to be seen in public. For the past several years he has had persistent feelings of worthlessness and inferiority, and doesn't see any hope for the future. He has broken off his engagement because of his financial problems and his pessimism about his future prospects. However, he still frequently goes over to the home of his younger brother, and seems to be able to enjoy himself in the company of a small group of family members and friends who accept him. When he is alone, his feelings of failure well up inside him again. He reports that he spends most of his free time in his basement, cleaning his tools and staring aimlessly at the walls, wondering what he can do to avoid bringing further shame upon his family.
#10 - Jonah
Jonah, 27 years old and black, suffered from severe headaches that were unbearably painful and lasted for longer and longer periods of time. Furthermore, he couldn't remember things that happened while he had a headache, except that sometimes a great deal of time passed. Finally, after a particularly bad night, when he could stand it no longer, he arranged for admission to the local hospital. What really prompted Jonah to come to the hospital, however, was that other people told him what he did during his severe headaches. For example, he was told that the night before he had a violent fight with another man and attempted to stab him. He fled the scene and was shot at during a high-speed chase by the police. His wife told him that during a previous headache he chased her and his 3-year-old daughter out of the house, threatening them with a butcher knife. During his headaches, and while he was violent, he called himself "Usoffa Abdulla, son of Omega." Once he attempted to drown a man in a river. The man survived and Jonah escaped by swimming a quarter of a mile upstream. He woke up the next morning in his own bed, soaking wet, with no memory of the incident.

Finding & Fixing Leaks
Water Meters and Leak Detection
Your water meter is the first place to check for leaks on your property. It keeps track of how much water passes through it, and the readings determine the amount that you are billed for water usage. Your water meter can also be a valuable tool in determining whether or not you have any leaks.
In Rio Rancho, most water meters are located in the front yard. In the older subdivisions, the meter is under a round, plastic or metal lid. In the newer subdivisions, the meter is under a rectangular, gray fiberglass lid and you might share this meter box with your neighbor. Be careful when opening the lid to the meter because 1) there may be wires attached to the antenna, and 2) spiders or snakes may be residing in the meter can. Rio Rancho meters read in gallons of water and they resemble a car odometer. There is a flow indicator, also called a leak indicator, on the meter's face. On older models the low/leak indicator looks like a triangle. On newer models the leak indicator looks like an asterisk (*).
To use your water meter as a leak detector, just follow these easy steps:
Turn off all water-using appliances, including your automatic ice maker and evaporative cooler.
Look to see if the flow/leak indicator is turning. If it is spinning, you have a leak.
If the flow indicator is not turning, record the reading on the water meter.
Wait thirty (30) minutes.
Record the new reading on your water meter. If the reading has changed, you have a leak.
NOTE: The water meter is the property of the City of Rio Rancho. If your water meter is leaking or if you suspect that the meter is not functioning properly, please call 891-5020
Locating and Fixing Toilet Leaks
Is your Toilet Leaking? Give it the Dye Test
Even the new high-efficiency toilets can be water wasters. A leaky flapper valve or an improperly set water level in the tank can cause significant water leakage. And not every "running" toilet makes noise. Even though you might think your toilet isn't leaking, there is one sure fire way to find out. Lift the lid off the toilet tank and put 10-15 drops of dark-colored food dye into the tank. If you don't have food dye, you can pick up toilet dye tablets at City Hall on the second floor. After 15 minutes, check the color in the toilet bowl. If there is any sign of the dye color, your toilet is leaking. If the water level looks fine but the dye test shows that the toilet leaks, the two most common culprits are the valve seat, which may need to be cleaned, and the flapper (or tank ball), which may need to be adjusted, cleaned or replaced.
Adjust the flapper (tank ball)
Check to see if the flapper is fitting property on the valve seat.
Turn off the water at the shutoff valve located just underneath the toilet tank (turn the valve clockwise until it stops). Then flush the toilet to drain the tank. See if the flapper/tank ball falls straight onto the flush valve opening.
Adjust the flapper by loosening the thumbscrew that fastens the guide arm to the overflow pipe.
Reposition the arm and the lift wire so that the tank ball is right above the flush valve (or adjust the flapper so that it will fall directly onto the valve seat).
Clean the flapper and valve seat
If the flapper (or tank ball) is sitting correctly in the valve seat but water is still leaking into the bowl, the problem may be a build-up of mineral deposits on the flapper and/or valve seat.
Turn off the water at the shutoff valve located just underneath the toilet tank (turn the valve clockwise until it stops). Then flush the toilet to drain the tank.
Clean the valve seat and the flapper with fine steel wool or a plastic cleansing pad to make sure they are both smooth and free of mineral deposits.
Turn on the water shutoff valve and conduct the dye test again to check for leaks.
Replace the flapper (tank ball)
If you've checked to make sure that flapper (tank ball) is correctly positioned in the valve seat and both parts are clean but you still have a leak, your flapper is probably worn out. A worn flapper won't seal properly. To replace the flapper:
Turn off the water at the shutoff valve located just underneath the toilet tank (turn the valve clockwise until it stops). Then flush the toilet to drain the tank.
Remove your old flapper and take it with you to the hardware or plumbing store so you can by a replacement.
Before installing the new flapper, clean the valve seat with fine steel wool or a plastic cleansing pad to make sure it is smooth.
Install the new flapper. Then run the dye test again to make sure you have fixed the leak.
Note: Make sure your replacement flapper matches the model and water-use requirements of your existing flapper. Not all generic flappers work equally well. Some toilets rely on a specific flapper to create the low-flow flush.
If the toilet STILL leaks:
If none of the listed procedures has fixed the leak, or the toilet is making a high whine or whistle sound when the tank is filling up, consider replacing the ball cock, the mechanism that controls the flow of water into the toilet tank. Replacement ball cocks are sold at hardware, plumbing, and home improvement stores. See our next newsletter for instruction on replacing the ball cock.
Replacing the Ball Cock
Although it is possible to replace an older ball cock with a new one, consider replacing it with a new float cup valve, which many plumbers prefer because it is less prone to leaking.
Turn off the water shutoff valve and flush the toilet to drain the tank.
Disconnect the water supply tube from the bottom of the tank.
Remove the float arm from the ball cock.
Remove the refill tube from the top of the ball cock.
Loosen the nut under the tank that holds the ball cock into place. If the ball cock turns when you try to loosen the nut, hold the ball cock with one hand while loosening the nut under the tank with your other hand. Once the nut is removed, lift the ball cock out of the tank.
Install a new float cup valve into the tank and tighten the nut on the underside of the tank.
Attach the refill tube to the float cup and to the overflow tube.
Reconnect the water supply tube and turn on the water supply.
Adjust the float cup until the water level is about 1/2 inch below the top of the overflow tube. To adjust the water level, simply pinch the spring clip on the side of the cup and move the cup higher (to raise the water level) or lower (to lower the water level.)
If none of the above procedures works, call a professional plumber!
A leaky faucet is a common household water waster. A steady drip at the rate of one drop per second wastes 192 gallons of water in a month!
The first step in fixing a leaky faucet is to identify the faucet type. Faucets are divided into two basic types: compression faucets and washerless faucets.
Compression faucets, sometimes called stem faucets, always have two handles, one for hot water and one for cold water. When the handle is turned on, the stem rotates. The threads cause the stem to rise, moving a rubber washer away from the faucet seat and allowing water to flow. Then turning the faucet off, you can sometimes feel the rubber washer being squeezed against the faucet seat to stop the flow of water.
Washerless faucets typically have just one handle that controls both the hot and the cold water. They are known for providing years of trouble-free service because their design minimizes friction and wear. There are three main types of washerless faucets:
A ball faucet has a single handle over a dome-shaped cap.
A cartridge faucet has a narrow plastic or metal cartridge inside the faucet body. Most cartridge faucets are single-handle model, but some two-handled faucets use cartridge designs.
A disk faucet has a single handle and a wide cylinder inside the faucet body.
Helpful Tips
Turn off the water before you start any faucet repair. The shutoff valves for indoor faucets are underneath the sink. Turn the left knob clockwise to shut off the hot water; turn the right knob clockwise to shut off the cold water.
Before disassembling a faucet, cover the sink with a towel to protect it from dropped tools and to prevent small parts from going down the drain.
When dismantling parts, line them up in the order and orientation in which they were removed to make it easier to properly reassemble the pieces.
When using metal tools on a polished surface, protect the polished surface with a rag or several layers of masking tape.
Take the old parts with you when you go to a plumbing or hardware store to buy replacement parts. This will help ensure that you get the right parts for the job.
Most faucet repair kits come with good instructions. Follow them!
Fixing a Compression Faucet
To fix a leaking compression faucet, first determine whether it is a hot water leak or a cold water leak. If you cannot tell from the temperature of the dripping water, turn off the hot water supply valve under the sink. If the drip stops, it is the hot water stem that is leaking. If the drip continues, the culprit is the cold water faucet.
Remove the handle screw. (It may be hidden under a decorative cap or behind the handle.) Remove the handle.
Unscrew the retaining (packing) nut.
Remove the stem by either jiggling it from the valve seat of unscrewing it counterclockwise with a wrench.
To replace the washer on a standard stem, remove the seat screw at the bottom of the stem and pry out the old washer with a screwdriver. Install a new washer.
For some compression faucets, you will also need to replace the packing washer or packing string, which prevents water from leaking at the faucet handle.
Check the valve seat (the metal that the washer seals on) for damage by running your finger along the rim of the sear. If is it pitted and not completely smooth, remove the valve seat using a seat wrench and install a new valve sear.
Reassemble the parts.
Fixing a Ball Faucet
With an Allen wrench, loosen the setscrew at the base of the handle. Remove the handle.
Underneath the handle you'll find a protective cap with an adjusting ring. Sometimes a dripping ball faucet can be fixed by tightening this ring. Turn it clockwise gently.
If tightening the ring doesn't stop the leak, close both shutoff valves beneath the sink.
Unscrew and lift off the cap, plastic cam, cam gasket, and rotating ball.
Rubber faucet seats are held against the bottom of the ball by small springs. Using the point of the screwdriver or a pair of needle-nose pliers, gently remove the two seats and springs. Remove any loose debris.
Install new seats and springs from a repair kit. (Follow the instructions provided in the repair kit.) Also, lift the spout and replace the two O-rings. (Apply a light coating of petroleum jelly or valve grease to the new O-rings before installing them.)
Reassemble the faucet and tighten the adjusting ring enough to prevent leaks without making the handle difficult to operate.
Fixing a Cartridge Faucet
Shut off both water supply valves underneath the sink.
Remove the decorative cap (if any) and remove the handle screw. Remove the handle.
Unscrew the retainer nut.
Some models have a U-shaped clip that holds in the cartridge. Use needle-nose pliers or the tip of a screwdriver to remove the clip.
The cartridge fits tightly in the faucet body. Remove the cartridge by pulling up on it firmly with a pair of pliers.
Replaced damaged O-rings and lubricate the new ones with petroleum jelly or valve grease. If the cartridge is worn or damaged, replace it with an identical part. (Cartridge repair kits typically contain a new cartridge, new O-rings and grease.)
Install the new cartridge, making sure that the notch in the stem faces the sink.
Reattach the U-clip, retainer nut, handle, and handle screw and decorative cap.
Fixing a disk Faucet
Shut off both water supply valves underneath the sink.
Remove the setscrew from the handle. Lift off the handle and remove the body cover (escutcheon cap).
Remove the disk assembly as a unit by unscrewing the mounting screws. Pull the disk out.
Turn the disk over and remove any dirt lodged between the ceramic disks.
Remove the rubber seals from the cylinder openings. Clean the cylinder openings and flush out an.
Remove the disk assembly as a unit by unscrewing the mounting screws. Pull the disk out.
Turn the disk over and remove any dirt lodged between the ceramic disks.
Remove the rubber seals from the cylinder openings. Clean the cylinder openings and flush out any debris.
Install new rubber seals and reassemble the faucet.
If the faucet still leaks, replace the entire disk assembly with a new one.

This week has consisted of an infinite amount of end-of-campaign ads, tons of election cover, the actual election itself, long voting lines, Hurricane Sandy damage, whatever your do for work and/or school and the daily stresses of life, in general. It's been stressful, to say the least. So, let's all take about 59 seconds to look at what might be the tiniest dog in the world. It's not the little one above; I just thought I'd add an extra dose of adorable to the beginning of this here post.
Meet Meysi, a terrier puppy that might be the tiniest dog in the world. She stands at just 2.5 inches tall, weighing 0.3 pounds, making her approximately the size of a soda can. Basically, it is ingrained in her DNA to be insanely adorable. Now, little videos and pictures of cute puppies doesn't solve everything, I know that. But they definitely make me gain a smile when I need one.
Lovelies, what cheers you up when it's been a rough week?

How many times have we heard this during conferences: "Kids today refuse to pay for media. Paying for it is unthinkable: all free, all the time." I don't agree with this statement and I'll explain why in this guest post. Allow me to begin by pointing out that the opinion expressed above is not an... Read More »
During the summer, Vice News achieved a grand slam by becoming the first media to infiltrate the ISIS militant terror group. But this coverage was not the only one to impress the journalistic world; indeed, Vice News also achieved remarkable work in covering the Ferguson and Ukraine crises as well as the Ebola epidemic in...

The gaming world has recently experienced a resurgence of local multiplayer games, i.e., titles in which two or more players play together (competitively or cooperatively) in each other's physical presence and generally using the same console or device. A classic such title would be Super Bomberman on Super Nintendo, while Wii Sports represents one of... Read More »
Focused on YouYube and Youtubers, the first Buffer Festival Industry Day took place in Toronto on October 16. If one key notion was to be taken away, passion is a common denominator for online video creators. They focus first on their creations and then much later think of the business aspect of what they are... Read More »
Will the next worldwide über-popular brand for children come from TV? Maybe not.

I am totally amazed! Just like a "shanzhai" macbook air, and of course, much much cheaper ...
Part 1, basic installation
watch at youtube.com
Welcome to my video on installing OS X Leopard on the Lenovo S10 netbook via a USB Flash Drive. Since the S10 has no built in optical drive, and not everyone has a USB DVD drive, a flash drive installation is a good alternative.
Please watch the ENTIRE video before attempting ANYTHING!
ALSO, you need access to OS X Disk Utility for this tutorial. That means either you must have a Mac, or have access to one. Or, you have a PC that can dual boot and has OS X up and running.
ALSO, please note, this video only covers the basic install to get you up and running. After the installation, things like sound, wireless and sleep DO NOT work right away. I will show you how to fix these broken components in my next video, Part 2.
The flash drive I am using is a Sandisk Cruzer Micro 4GB U3. On sale at Wal-Mart at the time of this publishing for $14.99 :)
For the PC portion, I am using Vista.
U3 Uninstall Software if you need it at:
Obtain OSx86 Tools from:
NOTE: If you experience an UN-bootable USB drive as some have, you probably need the older version of OSX86Tools. Follow this link http://tinyurl.com/ctk33p ONLY IF THE NEWER VERSION FROM THE LINK ABOVE FAILS TO WORK FOR YOU.
For the WINDosx86.iso you are on your own. Easy to find with a little search ... of that exact file name ;)
Look for my next video (Part 2) on how to get OS X fully tweaked and your hardware working correctly. I'll also get you updated to 10.5.6 with all additional updates using the built in Software Updater in OS X.
Part 2, fix things and update
watch at youtube.com
Please watch the ENTIRE video before attempting ANYTHING!
You will need a USB Keyboard, Mouse and Flash Drive to complete this tutorial. A part of the tutorial will kill the S10s keyboard and trackpad for a moment, requiring the external ones. The flash drive can be used to get the files listed below from a computer with internet access to your S10.
Files Needed:
10.5.6 Upgrade Pack, AppleACPI, bcm43xx_enabler, ClamshellDisplay, EHCISleepEnabler and EHCI Readme found here:
Audieee and AzaliaAudio found here:
CHUD here:
OSX86Tools here:
NOTE: If you experience an UN-bootable USB drive as some have, you probably need the older version of OSX86Tools. Follow this link http://tinyurl.com/ctk33p ONLY IF THE NEWER VERSION FROM THE LINK ABOVE FAILS TO WORK FOR YOU.
Sorry, can't add the text as I wanted to from the video regarding the plist file editing. YouTube doesn't like the code in the description apparently as it won't save with it. You'll have to rely on the scrolling text in the video, or, I also added a README file in the files above.
Known current issues:
-Mic & Wired Ethernet Jack Not Functional
-When resuming from sleep, erratic mouse behavior or zeros being typed sometimes appear. Simply tap the space bar key to resolve this issue if it happens to correct mouse and/or stop text.
-Trackpad System Settings Pane disappears with 10.5.6, but keeps adjustments made before update. FIX NOW AVAILABLE in Part 3.
-Trackpad is hyperactive at login screen, but re-enables your settings once logged in.
Part 3, fix trackpad

According to Alex King's review, Lenovo's S10 won at the end.
"I brought the Lenovo with me to SxSW and was really pleased with it as a conference machine. Easy to get out and use in cramped quarters - easy and light to carry in a small bag (no backpack or messenger bag needed). It's not replacing my Air anytime soon - I don't see myself doing development on it - but it's great for quick communication needs, browsing and note taking. I'm looking forward to getting the more stable SSD drive to make it a real "take anywhere" machine."

My S10 OSX Review w/ Video
by foeix » Sat Nov 08, 2008 9:56 pm
I have been so impressed with OSX on this machine that I felt I needed to tell others about how well the S10 works running OSX. Let me preface by saying that I bought a new aluminum MacBook the day it came out. I couldn't get over the glossy screen and eventually returned it. After reading these forums I decided I would buy an S10 and see how it would handle OSX. I have had good experiences with Thinkpads in the past and had high hopes for the S10. So far I have been very pleased.
My setup
I am currently running the MSIWIND distro with everything working except the ethernet and microphone on a top end S10 from Circuit City. I installed the ISO without a CD drive or Flash drive on the recovery partition using a small piece of software found on InsanelyMac. The install was a bit of a journey, but finally after a MBR rebuild it has been easy. I collected all the drivers and software from here and InsanelyMac and recently got two finger scroll working really well.
Don't underestimate the Atom. This machine blows away my old 12in Powerbook. Things load quickly, graphics are impressive and it can squeak by about 2:50 of runtime with the 3cell. If the computer is asleep the battery discharges at a rate of about 1.5% an hour. I like a silent computer - and if you boot the machine from cold the fan will not kick in. Now you should be mindful of the stress you put on the processor and heat but I have found the CPU to run at a tolerable 55c with no fan on while web surfing and listening to music. The bottom of the machine gets warm - but not too warm. When hooked up to an external monitor and multi tasking I reboot to allow the fan to turn on. Check out the video below and pictures.
If you are on the fence about getting an S10 DO IT! This is really a sweet little inexpensive machine and with OSX it is something awesome.

I installed the same iso, but using an external HD, is a bit easy, but the fixes are the same, loving it, thanks EBA420
