Power-Loss-Protected SSDs Tested: Only Intel S3500 Passes
Soulskill posted about a year ago | from the 95%-of-everything-is-crud dept.
293lkcl writes "After the reports on SSD reliability and after experiencing a costly 50% failure rate on over 200 remote-deployed OCZ Vertex SSDs, a degree of paranoia set in where I work. I was asked to carry out SSD analysis with some very specific criteria: budget below £100, size greater than 16Gbytes and Power-loss protection mandatory. This was almost an impossible task: after months of searching the shortlist was very short indeed. There was only one drive that survived the torturing: the Intel S3500. After more than 6,500 power-cycles over several days of heavy sustained random writes, not a single byte of data was lost. Crucial M4: failed. Toshiba THNSNH060GCS: failed. Innodisk 3MP SATA Slim: failed. OCZ: failed hard. Only the end-of-lifed Intel 320 and its newer replacement, the S3500, survived unscathed. The conclusion: if you care about data even when power could be unreliable, only buy Intel SSDs." Relatedly, don't expect SSDs to become cheaper than HDDs any time soon.

Dealing with lost items: According to PCVS, it helps to set time limits on how long you're willing to search for lost items. "I budget 15 minutes and then give up," she says, "Whatever it is will turn up when I'm not looking for it."
Stockpile cards for special occasions: Making a last-minute trip to the Hallmark store because you forgot to get your best friend a birthday card can be stressful. Creating a special card stash helped Jola bypass this frustrating situation. Gather a varied collection of birthday, holiday and get-well soon cards for future use. Money-saving hint: Buy holiday-themed cards in bulk when they go on sale after the celebration.
Call ahead: Does this situation sound familiar: you go to the store, mid-week, in search of the one essential item you left off your weekly grocery list—only to find the shelf empty? Calling ahead to make sure the store is stocked with your must-have item can save both time and angst.
Optimize online opportunities: Online shopping can save you loads of money and time. There are few things you can't buy off the Internet. You can even order groceries online, and either schedule a time to pick them up, or have them delivered right to your door. If you must go to the store, write a list and organize it based on the physical layout of your destination (i.e. grocery store aisles, locations of different stores in the mall).

Dating The Insecure Woman & The Secure Woman? Part 2
Excessive calls to his place of employment
What are you trying to do? Get him fired? Now your man cannot pay his phone bill or even his rent, because you assisted in getting him fired. Now he must move in with you because you overextended yourself with phone calls to his job. Everyone at work knows your name: "Your wife is on the phone again!" If you're guilty of this behavior, you have intense insecurities and may need to seek professional guidance. We're just kidding, but at this point you are being unreasonable.
He has to pay his bills, unless you want to pay them. When your insecurities threaten a man's employment, living arrangements, children, food and/or transportation, you have crossed the proverbial line in the sand. Example: you slashed his tires and busted out his windows. You have then gone too far. You are intruding on his personal space and if he starts to distance himself from you at this point, don't be surprised.
Lying about your condition to get what you want out of him–You're pregnant, you're sick, etc.
Anytime you have to make up a story to gain his attention, you have overstepped your boundaries and have defeated your purpose of getting closer. It may temporarily work until he discovers the truth.
Do not turn into a psycho chick. No man wants a woman who is crazy and does not know when enough is enough. Give a man time and space to unwind.
A man can be seen as the equivalent of an old wind-up clock. When he is upset, give him time to unwind. Do not keep winding the clock until you bust the strings. You let it charge and discharge so the energy can balance itself out. The insecure woman often pushes her man beyond his limits because she fails to see how her behavior is affecting him. She only sees herself and her own desires. Unfortunately, her behavior leads to undesired results. It pushes her man further away, often into the arms of another eagerly-waiting woman. You know what they say: one woman's trash is another woman's treasure.

Popping up at the Man of Your Dreams (MOYD's) home unsuspected.
You are allowed one or two unexpected pop-ins per year. Three, four or five, and you are pushing it. At this point, whatever you find is what you deserve. You may eventually find another woman there. Do not be surprised. After all, it is what you have been looking for all along. You helped create the scenario that has now unfolded. This is because you have totally focused your energy on the negative, instead of the positive that brought you together with the MOYD in the first place. The insecure woman spends all of her time and energy fighting unnecessary battles instead of just realizing that there was something special about you that he loved. This is what the insecure woman needs to focus on and build on.

Herodotus describes the ''Immortals'' as being heavy infantry, led by Hydarnes, that were kept constantly at a strength of exactly 10,000 men. He claimed that the unit''s name stemmed from the custom that every killed, seriously wounded, or sick member was immediately replaced with a new one, maintaining the numbers and cohesion of the unit.
This elite corps is only called the ''Immortals'' in sources based on Herodotus. There is evidence of the existence of a permanent corps from Persian sources, which provided a backbone for the tribal levies who made up the bulk of the Achaemenid armies. These do not however record the name of "Immortals". "Probably, Herodotus'' informant has confused the name Anûšiya (''companions'') with Anauša (''Immortals'')."
HistoryThe Immortals played an important role in Cyrus the Great''s conquest of Babylon in 539 BC, Cambyses II''s conquest of Egypt in 525 BC and Darius I''s invasion of India''s smaller western frontier kingdoms (western Punjab and Sindh, now in Pakistan) and Scythia in 520 BC and 513 BC. Immortals participated in the Battle of Thermopylae 480 BC and were amongst the Persian occupation troops in Greece in 479 BC under Mardonius.
EquipmentImmortals at war against Alexanders'' troops. Color reconstruction of the original reliefs on the Alexander Sarcophagus, in IstanbulHerodotus describes their armament as follows: wicker shields, short spears, swords or large daggers, bow and arrow. Underneath their robes they wore scale armour coats. The spear counterbalances of the common soldiery were of silver; to differentiate commanding ranks, the officers'' spear buttspikes were golden. The regiment was followed by a caravan of covered carriages, camels, and mules that transported their supplies, along with concubines and attendants to serve them; this supply train carried special food that was reserved only for their consumption.
The headdress worn by the Immortals is believed to have been the Persian tiara. Its actual form is uncertain, but some sources describe it as a cloth or felt cap which could be pulled over the face to keep out wind and dust in the arid Persian plains. Surviving Achaemenid coloured glazed bricks and carved reliefs represent the Immortals as wearing elaborate robes, hoop earrings and gold jewelry, though these garments and accessories were most likely worn only for ceremonial occasions.
Legacy Sassanid Empire Main article: ZhayedanMedian (left) and Persian (right) soldiers, carvings at Persepolis.The title of "Immortals" was first revived under the Sassanid army. The most famous of the Savaran units were the Zhayedan (Immortals) and numbered 10,000 men, like the Achaemenid predecessors, with the difference that they were cavalry. Their task was mainly to secure any breakthroughs and to enter battles at crucial stages.
Byzantine Empire Main article: Immortals (Byzantine Empire)The designation "Immortal" to describe a military unit was used twice during the Byzantine Empire, first as an elite heavy cavalry unit under John I Tzimiskes (r. 969–976) and then later by Nikephoritzes, the chief minister of Emperor Michael VII (r. 1071–1081), as the core of a new central field army, following the disastrous defeat of Manzikert by the Seljuk Turks in 1071.
French Empire Main article: Imperial Guard (Napoleon I)Many centuries later, during the Napoleonic Wars, French soldiers referred to Napoleon''s Imperial Guard as "the Immortals."
Imperial State of Iran Main article: Imperial Guard (Iran)The Iranian Army under the last Shahanshah included an all volunteer Javidan Guard, also known as the "Immortals" after the ancient Persian royal guard. The "Immortals" were based in the Lavizan Barracks in Tehran. By 1978 this elite force comprised a brigade of 4,000–5,000 men, including a battalion of Chieftain tanks. Following the Iranian Revolution of 1979 the "Immortals" were disbanded.
In popular cultureHerodotus'' account of two warrior elites - the Spartan hoplites and the Immortals - facing each other in battle has inspired a set of rather colorful depictions of the battle, especially in regard of the Immortals:

Alyssa Milano "Sex Tape" – WATCH VIDEO!
By Daniel Gates | 12:50 pm, September 4th, 2013
VIDEOAlyssa Milano released a "sex tape" on Wednesday.
But it might not be exactly what fans hope.
Gossip Cop won't ruin the surprise, except to note that it's a Funny Or Die video — and that Milano rather creatively uses it to highlight what people should be paying attention to this week.

THEY DO REMEMBER ADS: It's only April, but magazine publishers have already begun selling for those highly coveted September issues, and Condé Nast Publications is hoping some new research on the subject will give them a leg up. Together with MRI Starch and Starcom USA, Condé Nast studied September fashion magazines by interviewing nearly 9,000 consumers, with approximately 1,600 ads tested. A few of the questions they wanted answered: How do ads perform in an issue so thick with advertising? Do nonendemic ads suffer from the abundance of endemic advertising? How do consumers feel, in general, about September fashion issues?
The survey found that 23 percent of respondents only pay attention to fashion advertisements in September issues (instead of editorial coverage) and 49 percent believe a magazine such as Vogue specially selected the ads that ran in that issue. And, 35 percent said they look for fall fragrance suggestions from that issue. Despite having twice as many ads as a regular issue, 55 percent of those surveyed recalled all endemic ads and 51 percent of nonendemic ads. Meanwhile, 57 percent recalled ads in regular issues, and 52 percent recalled nonendemic ads.
Moreover, research suggested that those who pick up a September fashion issue, such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar or Elle, are more affluent; the average household income for that issue is $76,556, versus $62,878 in other months. And the study found that upscale shoppers — those who shop at high-end department stores and designer boutiques — have the highest ad recall and are most likely to take action, compared with those who shop at mass or midlevel stores.
As expected, research showed that multipage ads perform better than single-page units, with 82 percent recalling ad spreads of six pages and 50 percent recalling one-page ads. "We have known all of this anecdotally for years, that our readers see these issues as highly anticipated events, but we wanted to see if research supported it," said Lou Cona, senior vice president of Condé Nast Media Group. Condé Nast has exclusive rights to the data for six months.

Johnson holds off Keselowski for Texas win, lead
Updated: November 5, 2012, 4:12 AM ET
Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski were nearing the start-finish line after a late restart at Texas when their cars suddenly slammed together.
Somehow, they managed to maintain control and prolong their battle for the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship.
"Fortunately, we both stayed 1-2 and didn't crash, didn't lose a spot on the racetrack," Johnson said. "But I knew he was serious about the race lead prior to that and that took it to a new level. `'

Maybe you've been in this kind of situation, feeling like a fish out of water, like you don't belong. You have two choices, 1) fight for your spot or 2) just swim away. I chose to fight.
I felt like this yesterday at my first Parent Teacher Association meeting. I'm just starring this whole public school thing. My oldest, Emily, is in Kindergarten. Since I can't volunteer during the day, I thought why not join the PTA and help out that way.
OH MY GOODNESS! This is competitive. Enter the "mompetitors".
I sat at the table, feeling like I was back in high school, sitting at the cheerleader table when I was the one that didn't make the squad.
I realized I had two choices, 1) sit there and not say a word or 2) speak up so I spoke up.
I got into the competitive spirit of "who-can-do-more" thing. Now, I'm afraid I have signed up for too much! It's supposed to be all about helping the teachers and administrators right? Oh I had that wrong.
I admit to being the tough kid back in school. My parents had to tell me to back off when I played soccer. They had to explain to me that to get the ball away from the other kids that I didn't have to knock them down. I just don't like being pushed around. When I get pushed, I push back. It's not pretty.
I realized several things at that meeting; I have a lot to learn about Elementary School politics and I'm still trying to figure out where I fit, just like high school.
I guess you never really do get out of high school…
Do you ever think, now where is that Fairy God Mother that Cinderella had? I could use a little Bippity Boppity Boo today.
Maybe you've felt like this too, that the fairy tales you read as a kid set you up for disappointment in life.
Thought about that last night when my kids and I were all cuddled up on the couch watching Snow White, reliving my childhood through their eyes.
I thought, is this really the right thing for my daughter to learn? That all will be okay when her Prince Charming comes.
Emily is 5 and has all the dress up gowns and loves crowns and I tell her she's a child of God so she's a real princess, but at the same time I want to prepare her for when life isn't a fairy tale. That it's not the Fairy God Mother that you wish for.
When people hurt you…you have to get back up, with a faith in God not man, because God's help doesn't expire at midnight and with him your carriage doesn't turn into a pumpkin.

Family and friends gathered at a New York City cathedral Thursday morning to say goodbye to "Sopranos" star James Gandolfini.
The 90-minute service, led by the Very Reverend Dr. A James Kowalski, was held at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine on Manhattan's Upper West Side. It was closed to the press but open to the general public. About 300 to 500 people lined the streets waiting to be let in for the 10 a.m. service, with the church able to accommodate 2,000.
A slew of famous faces came to pay their final respects to the Emmy Award-winning actor, who died on June 19 from a heart attack during a trip to Rome with his 13-year-old son Michael. Gandolfini was 51.
PHOTOS: Stars Say Farewell to Hollywood Legend
Among Gandolfini's "Sopranos" co-stars present were Edie Falco, Joe Pantoliano and Aida Turturro, who were among the first to arrive. Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Lorraine Bracco, Michael Imperioli, Vincent Pastore, Tony Sirico and Steve Buscemi attended, as well as "Sopranos" creator David Chase, who later spoke at the funeral.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie made a surprise appearance. Other famous faces included NBC News anchor Brian Williams, actress Julianna Margulies and actor Alec Baldwin and his pregnant wife Hilaria.
Gandolfini's wife Deborah Lin Gandolfini and the mother of his 9-month-old daughter Lily, was the first to speak at the service.
Get more on the life and career of James Gandolfini
According to the New York Daily News, she said, "My husband was an honest kind and loving man. He cared more about others than himself. He took the time to ask others in the course of the day how they were doing."
Family friends Thomas Richardson and Susan Aston also spoke. Aston spoke about Gandolfini, the artist.
"A lot has been said about James' work. He was a master. As his friend and creative collaborator over 25 years, I can attest to that," she said, according to the Daily News.
Rather than deliver a eulogy, Chase wrote a letter to his old friend, commenting on the boy-like quality that Gandolfini maintained.
"That's why I think you were such a great actor, because of that boy inside. I think your talent is that you can take the immensity of humankind and the universe and shine it right back at us," he said, according to the Daily News.
After the service, Gandolfini's co-star Joe Pantoliano told ABC News, "It was very beautiful. The priest really made a lot of sense and took away a lot of pain that I had in my heart. David (Chase) was of course wonderful and funny. The music was great, everybody had communion and I think Jimmy is up there shaking his head and calling us all idiots."
As for how his co-star should be remembered, Pantoliano said, "I would want them (fans) to understand James was an inspired young kid from New Jersey that wanted to be an actor that did his dues, he busted his a**, he went to acting school…. That's what he should be remembered, as an amazing artist."
ABC News' Elicia Dover and David Blaustein contributed to this report.

Bright ruby-red. Perfumed, floral aromas of cassis, black cherry, menthol and rose petal. Not a fleshy wine but offers lovely floral lift to the savory, dry flavors of ripe plum, cherry and spices. Finishes firmly tannic and a tad dry. (89 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar)
85 Points - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines There are elements of an ambitious wine here, yet for all of its size, its obvious oak and its amplified ripeness, this one is a bit of a plain Jane when it comes to clear Cabernet fruit and gives up to dry tannins and overt heat without ever expressing much in the way of varietal soul.

I passed! - page 2
For anyone freaking out because of all the people tha are coming here saying they failed, here's one that passed on their first try :) I will be honest, I did not study very much. I did the Hurst... Read More
0Jan 5, '13 by msteeleartIt is very frustrating. I am worried that I will not be able to schedule until March if they don't hurry up. We have 12 nursing schools in this area so the testing places might fill up fast. I just want to get this NCLEX over with so I can look for a job. Some people from my school have been applying but why would they hire you without a license when there are plenty of applicants that already have their license?
0Jan 5, '13 by 2boysmommaCongrats! That's amazing you were able to get done so quick! I take mine on the 17th and I've been trying to review a little in the Hurst book and answer some questions every day. I'm glad to hear that worked for you! I was worrying I wasn't studying from enough resources but I end up on information overload. Yay for you RN!!
0Jan 7, '13 by Racer15I don't know anything about Kaplan, as I did Hurst. I really feel that studying test taking and how to answer questions would probably be more helpful, as most of my questions were over content that I didn't really know that well. I had a lot of management and delegation questions.
0Jan 7, '13 by Nurse_AR415Hi racer15...congrats may I have your email address...when u emailed me my box is full but ill email u..thank u
0Jan 8, '13 by nurse2b121212Congrats Racer15!!!! You did it! Gives me some hope, as I am only doing Hurst and practice questions. Good luck in your career as an R.N.!

i want to get a sks and i want to be able to custom it or trick it out nothing too crazy just be able to add a hand grip red dot sight and what not (not right away but with time). what i want to know is who makes the best sks for the money and am i better off buying one that already has synthetic furniture or just getting one with wood furniture and adding tapco furniture to it latter on. im on a tight budget so im pretty much just looking for a stock sks but one that has more than a 6 round haha. i want this gun sport shooting but be able to use to defend my family if needed (keep in my mind i already have a s&w .357,.38,and my old school cop 12 gauge always in arms reach but looking for something with range to it). This would be my first assault rifle buy so something thats also easier to work with.

I say just get it and keep it stock. The original mag is 10 rounds not 6. Some of the tapco stocks need some minor fitting to work right depending on what country your sks comes from. Just make sure that if you do change it. That you keep the parts that you remove. That way if you can put it back original if you want to sell it at a higher price.
Treevor, just my opinion but I feel the Russian SKS would be your best choice. I have 2 Chicom models and both work flawlessly so they would be second. Try Gunbroker.com
NSDQ Like it or not, when the chips are down and lives are at stake, an armed citizen can be the "first responder." People who dont like guns invariably rely on people who have guns when their lives are in danger. __________________
I think that you have at least 3 choices: Russian (most costly) , Yugoslavian and Chinese. I have a Yugo SKS and not everybody likes the grenade launcher stuff on it, but it does not harm the function. I bought it last year for $320 and since then I have seen them a bit cheaper in the classifieds. Keep an eye on the local classifieds (backpage.com) and the pawn shops. Be patient and get a fair deal.
Haha sorry nosaj good point better chose my words wisely
The SKS is one rifle that goes to the range with me most often as it is fun to shoot --- I also load lead g/c boolets for it --- shooting milatary ammo also
IMHO the main reason th change out the stocks is length of pull. SKS stocks are way too short for me. Keep in mind if you put a high cap detachable mag, a collapsible stock and pistol grip, you are now in 922R territory. With three "evil" features you cannot have more than 10 imported parts. As long as the stock and mag are US made, you are ok under federal law, but you could get crossways with some states.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire. "Robo is right" Fuzzball
I would only get either a Russian or Chinese. Russian SKS's are getting harder to find but the Chinese Norinco type 56 SKS rifles are easier to find. Both are well made rifles. But if you ever happen to find a Chinese Norinco MC-5D then that would be the best choice of them all. It's a shorter SKS rifle that doesn't have a bayonet but it uses AK-47 mags.

Congratulations to your Alexa ranking. Looking at the statistics I would guess you will get into the top 100 pages by the end of the year.
Out of curiosity, how many unique visitors do Webmasterworld get/day.
Regard, Johan Malmberg
You can ask your webmaster: - what their favorite food is. - how much they make a year. - if he/she is married. - what religion they are. - what their sexual orientation is.
But you can never ask them, how many uniques you get. ;-) a wee bit too personal.
(just for reference, pizza, no comment, single, christian, straight)...
If I remember rightly, Brett mentioned that there was in region of 75,000 registered members.
Assuming that around 60-70% of registered members post a message at least once (I would say thats a good estimate given the market and the forum), and around 80% of those at least come back 3-20 times a week, then....
60% of 75000 = 45000 members posted
80% of 45000 = 36000 return visitors
So even if every return member came back once a week then that would be 144k UVs per month.
On top of which, there are SE referals (er, is the site optimised? ;)) and highly-addicted repeat visitors....
I would say 250,000 UVs per month would be a modest guess at the sites monthly traffic. :) Around 9k per day, which seems reasonable given the amount of posts there are.
Of course I have taken all these figures out of thin air, so I could be way off! :)
But it's Friday morning and im bored.......
With an Alexa rank at 20000-30000 your rank is the ultimate goal.
Continue your great work.
Regards, Johan Malmberg
Hope im not offending brett by my guestimate.
Put him down in the region of 25-50K ;)
//added probably the higher end for those google updates, who cares anyway, do they really "count" when they come here for the update only? ;)
There will now be 3 million single female visitors per day claiming to make the best pizza.
There will now be 3 million single female + 100,000 married female visitors per day claiming to make the best pizza.
Only one will hire a copywriter, GoogleGuy's sister, and Brett will be out of luck because he signed a no-compete and an NDA. ;)
pr8's and higher accepted 24hrs a day ;-)
hopefully they dont have too many back-links ;)
A small town in Iowa probably doesn't offer many ops. I remember my days in small towns in a neighboring state, not many opportunities for quality women in a town of 2,500 when you are my or Brett's age. I expect that (small town) is more Brett's problem then lack of charm and good looks or a fat wallet that makes up for all that.
Am I right Brett?
Server.com gets over 80,000 uniques per day, but our Alexa rank is only 2,800.
Marketing Guy, you are way way off by multiples. I don't remember what that figure you started with is in reference too must have been awhile ago. I weed the membership base once a week to 90 days without posting a message - no exception.
he's now called FreedomMan
I got 5K uniques the other day. I'm at Alexa ranking 120000
I think it's only realistic for those of us getting alot of traffic :)
Notice my restraint Froggy - (I have a hunch he'll be reading this...lol)
As for WebmasterWorld visitors, I'd wager on 40-50k uniques a day.
I've been around big national brand corporate sites and massive network sites before, but whew, last week was uncharted territory for me.
I am not gonna guess how many _daily_ uniques that might mean, but I wouldn't be surprised if WW had more than 500k uniques on some days. Perhaps _much_ more.
Another question: How many pages do all these people see? My guess would be that a very large part of the visitors see more than 10 pages at a visit and that quite a few see much more. It sums up to a lot of work for the servers. And then of course there are all the posts and stickies.
> offended
I was recently asked this same question about one of my websites by a journalist. I explained her why I wouldn't answer.
She didn't ask the other questions. ;) (dont know, too little, not married, pantheist, straight)

Pictures emerged on Monday of Hong Kong action superstar Jackie Chan's actor-son Jaycee Chan being detained by police officers in Beijing on drug-related charges.
Chan, 32, was detained last Thursday along with 23-year-old Taiwanese movie star Kai Ko.
Police said both actors tested positive for marijuana and admitted using the drug, and that 100 grams of it were taken from Chan's home.
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV aired footage of police searching Chan's home in Beijing in which he is seen, his face pixelated, showing officers where he stashed bags of marijuana.
Police said they acted on a tip-off from the public.
On Tuesday, Ko was shown on CCTV, his face pixelated, tearfully apologising to his fans and family.
Several celebrities have been detained on drug charges following a declaration in June by Chinese President Xi Jinping that illegal drugs should be wiped out and that offenders would be severely punished.
In Beijing alone, more than 7,800 people have been caught in the crackdown, police said.

Brain Scans Could Predict Response to Antipsychotic MedicationScienceDaily August 14, 2013
Researchers have identified neuroimaging markers in the brain which could help predict whether people with psychosis respond to antipsychotic medications or not. In approximately half of young people experiencing their first episode of a psychosis (FEP), the symptoms do not improve considerably with the initial medication prescribed, increasing the risk of subsequent episodes and worse outcome. Identifying individuals at greatest risk of not responding to existing medications could help in the search for improved medications, and may eventually help clinicians personalize treatment plans.

Oct. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Heating oil advanced to a five-week high, gaining along with gasoil futures in London, as stockpiles of diesel and heating oil fell in the U.S. and Europe.
Futures in New York rose a fifth consecutive day as U.S. supplies sank to an eight-week low in the seven days ended Oct. 7, the Energy Department reported yesterday. Gasoil inventories in independent storage in Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp, Europe's biggest oil-trading hub, slipped 8.1 percent in the week ended yesterday to the lowest level since December 2008, according to PJK International BV, a consultant in the Netherlands.
"The fact we've been drawing down ahead of the heating oil season has some people spooked and distillate demand is up on the four-week average against a year ago," said Peter Beutel, president of trading advisory company Cameron Hanover Inc. in New Canaan, Connecticut. "European gasoil, any strength you have there supports the distillate market."
November-delivery heating oil rose 8.44 cents, or 2.8 percent, to settle at $3.0558 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices increased 6.9 percent this week, the largest weekly gain since the period ended Feb. 25.
Gasoil for November delivery climbed 3.4 percent to $952 a ton on the ICE Futures Europe exchange.
Distillate Inventories
U.S. inventories of diesel and heating oil fell 2.93 million barrels to 154 million in the week ended Oct. 7, according to the department, as seasonal maintenance and shutdowns reduced the refinery operating rate 3.5 percentage points to 84.2 percent of capacity, the lowest level since the week ended May 13.
Demand for industrial, trucking and home-heating fuels slipped on a four-week average was 5.6 percent higher than a year earlier.
"Heating oil has been the darling of the market," Beutel said. "It has the best demand in the oil complex and we've seen drawdowns."
Futures' gain came amid a broader rally in equities and commodities amid optimism that the Group of 20 nations will develop the means to contain Europe's debt crisis. Finance ministers and central bankers from the G-20 began talks in Paris, seeking ways to end Europe's two-year sovereign debt crisis.
"The market seems to be less worried about a major problem with European banks," said Gene McGillian, an analyst and broker at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
Debt Crisis
European officials are considering writedowns of as much as 50 percent on Greek bonds, a backstop for banks and continued central bank bond purchases as key planks in a revamped strategy to combat the debt crisis, people familiar with the discussions said.
The S&P GSCI Index of 24 raw materials rose 2.6 percent at 3:06 p.m. in New York. The Standard & Poor's 500 stock index advanced 1.3 percent. Crude oil for November delivery in New York gained 3.1 percent to $86.80 as Brent crude on the ICE exchange jumped 3.2 percent to $114.68.
"From what's coming out of Europe, they seem more determined to capitalize the banks and keep everything from getting out of control,"said Fred Rigolini, vice president of Paramount Options Inc. in New York. "Crude and products are up more than equities today because we saw pretty decent draws in products yesterday."
Gasoline for November delivery rose 6.72 cents, or 2.4 percent, to settle at $2.8247 a gallon, gaining 6.7 percent for the week. Prices rose every day this week in the longest rally since May.
Regular gasoline at the pump, averaged nationwide, rose 1.7 cents to $3.443 a gallon yesterday, according to AAA data. It was the fourth consecutive gain and the highest level since Sept. 29.

TLC's In-the-Works Album Is Set to Feature Drake and Ne-Yo
R&B trio's two surviving members also tease tour plans
TLC's first album since 2002's 3D is really happening, and some big-name guests are on board. According to Rolling Stone, Drake and Ne-Yo collaborated with the Atlanta group's two surviving members, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, for the still-untitled album, which is reportedly being finished. Drake, in particular, is a logical but likely polarizing choice, considering his posthumous track with Aaliyah and his recent, Destiny's Child-quoting "Girls Love Beyoncé."
T-Boz and Chilli are also set to give their first U.S. performance since a brief 2009 reunion. They're on the bill for Mixtape Fest, which goes down July 26 and 27 at Hersheypark Stadum in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Third TLC member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who died 11 years ago in a gruesome car accident at age 30, will be there, but thankfully, not in the form of a dreaded, Tupac-style hologram: T-Boz confirmed that, as RS puts it, "projections of archival footage of the late rapper will appear on a screen behind the stage while the group performs." Whew.
In the meantime, VH1 biopic Crazy Sexy Cool is set to premiere this fall, starring KeKe Palmer as T-Boz, Drew Sidora as Chilli, and Lil Mama as Left Eye. According to RS, T-Boz and Chilli recently re-recorded the bulk of their hits for the made-for-cable movie's soundtrack, and two brand-new singles, overseen by their usual producer Dallas Austin, are on the way this fall.
The two TLC singers were reportedly coy about long-rumored plans for a full tour, but Chilli is quoted as saying: "Trust me. It's going to happen!" We'll be first in line for tickets, right there along with Marnie Stern, Les Savy Fav's Tim Harrington, and the stars of Portlandia. Considering both SWV and the surviving members of Hi-Five returned with new music last year, the '10s are turning out to be a fine time for '90s R&B vocal groups.

Khatia Buniatishvili

June 21, 1987

Occupation(s) | Pianist |
Instruments | Piano |
Khatia Buniatishvili (Georgian: ხატია ბუნიათიშვილი; born June 21, 1987) is an award-winning[1] Georgian concert pianist, and a Sony Classical recording artist.
Khatia Buniatishvili began studying piano under her mother at age three.[2] Her talent was recognized when she was very young, and she gave her first concert with the Chamber Orchestra in Tbilisi at the age of six. From the age of ten she was invited to give concerts in Switzerland, Georgia, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Monaco, Italy, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Israel and the USA.[3] Buniatishvili graduated from the Tbilisi Central Music School, then entered Tbilisi State Conservatory in 2004 (Prof. Tengiz Amirejibi).[4]
According to her biography: Khatia prefers not to be regarded as a child prodigy, because 'virtuosity for its own sake does not appeal to her'. She also 'embraces pianists from earlier generations such as Rachmaninoff, Richter and Gould'. She admires her "favourite pianist", Martha Argerich, for her uniqueness and, as a consequence, does not view Argerich as someone she should try to emulate. Also playing may reflect 'a close proximity to Georgian folk-music, which, she attests, has greatly influenced her musicality'.[5]
Buniatishvili, who has described the piano as a "symbol of musical solitude",[6] chose the piano over the violin despite her perfect pitch. She and her sister learned the piano together and performed duets at home.[7]
Khatia Buniatishvili has been invited to play with, among other orchestras, the Orchestre de Paris under Paavo Järvi, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre National de France under Daniele Gatti and the Philharmonia Orchestra in London. She can also often be heard in performances of chamber music: in a trio with Gidon Kremer, with Renaud Capuçon or also with her sister Gvantsa.[8]
In 2010 Khatia received the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award [9] and was included in the BBC series New Generation Artists.[10] The Vienna Musikverein and Konzerthaus nominated her as Rising Star for the 2011–12 season, and in 2012 she was awarded Best Newcomer of the Year in the Echo Klassik awards.[11]
Her debut album for Sony Classical marked Liszt's 200th anniversary, and included his Sonata in B minor, Liebestraum No 3, La Campanella, Hungarian Rhapsody No 2, and Mephisto Waltz.[12] The album was highly praised by critics, with Classic FM noting "Buniatishvili is a young artist with a huge temperament and technique that puts one in mind of the young Martha Argerich".[13] This was followed by an album devoted to Chopin, combining solo piano works with Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, accompanied by the Orchestre de Paris and Paavo Järvi. The Guardian reported "This is playing straight from the heart from one of today's most exciting and technically gifted young pianists".[14] In 2014, Khatia released her third album on Sony Classical, titled Motherland. Rather than being devoted to one particular composer as her previous albums were, Motherland is a personal album that brings together pieces that have Khatia's life, including music from her homeland Georgia. Khatia decided to devote the album to her mother, Natalie Buniatishvili.[15][16]
Prizes and awards[edit]
Khatia Buniatishvili has received the following prizes and awards:
- 12th Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition (2008): Third Prize winner along with a Special Prize "Best Performer of a Chopin piece" and "Audience Favorite" Prize in Eilat" [17]
- The 3rd Tbilisi International Piano competition (2005): Second Prize winner along with Special Prize "for Artistry" and Special Prize "Best Georgian young pianist"[18]
- A Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award in 2010[19]
Critics have praised her rich imagination, virtuosity and sensitive and mature playing.[7] In particular, pianist Martha Argerich noted that: "Khatia is a young pianist of extraordinary talent. I was impressed by her exceptional pianistic gift, natural musicality, imagination and her brilliant virtuosity".
