Riccardo Chailly, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (French pronunciation: [ʃɑ.ji]; born 20 February 1953) is an Italian conductor. He started his career as an opera conductor and gradually extended his repertoire to encompass symphonic music.
Contents |
Chailly was born in Milan in a musical family. He studied composition with his father, Luciano Chailly.[1] Chailly studied at the music conservatories in Perugia and Milan. He later studied conducting with Franco Ferrara. In his youth, Chailly also played the drums in a rhythm-and-blues band.[2]
At age twenty, Chailly became assistant conductor to Claudio Abbado at La Scala, where he made his conducting debut in 1978. From 1982 to 1988, Chailly was chief conductor of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra and from 1983 to 1986 principal guest conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. From 1986 to 1993, he led the Teatro Comunale of Bologna.
Chailly made his debut with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, Amsterdam in 1985. From 1988 to 2004, Chailly was chief conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (KCO), where he dedicated himself to performances of the standard symphonic tradition, notably Anton Bruckner and Gustav Mahler, with which the orchestra made its name but also significantly broadened the repertoire with 20th century and contemporary music.[3][4] Among notable projects, Chailly led the 1995 Mahler Festival that celebrated the 100th anniversary of Mahler's first concert at the Concertgebouw. Chailly also conducted opera in Amsterdam, both at the KCO's annual Christmas Matinee concert as well as at De Nederlandse Opera (DNO), where his final opera production in Amsterdam was DNO's staging of Giuseppe Verdi's Don Carlo.[5] One report stated that Chailly decided in 2002 to leave the KCO when, at his last contract negotiations, the orchestra offered him an extension for two years rather than five.[6]
In 1986, Chailly conducted the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig for the first time, at the Salzburg Festival, after Herbert von Karajan had introduced Chailly to the orchestra.[7] His next guest-conducting appearance with the Leipzig orchestra was in 2001, and after an additional appearance, he was named the 19th Kapellmeister of the orchestra.[8][9] In August 2005, he officially became the chief conductor of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig and general music director (GMD) of Oper Leipzig. His initial Leipzig contract was through 2010.[10] In May 2008, he extended his contract with the Gewandhausorchester to 2015. However, he concurrently resigned as GMD of the Oper Leipzig, reportedly after conflict over the hiring of personnel without his consultation.[11][12]
In May 2011, Chailly organised an international Mahler festival in Leipzig, adding that composer to the city's pantheon of Bach, Wagner and Mendelssohn. Mahler had been junior conductor at the Leipzig Oper 1886–88 and had composed his first symphony there. Chailly invited ten different orchestras to participate in an event that was telecast worldwide, bookending the series himself with epic performances of the second and eighth symphonies – "one of the great Mahler 8s", in the words of the Mahler biographer, Norman Lebrecht.[13]
Chailly became the first music director of the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi (La Verdi) in 1999, and held the post until 2005. He now has the title of Conductor Laureate with La Verdi.
Chailly has an exclusive recording contract with Decca, and his recordings with Decca include complete cycles of the symphonies of Brahms, Gustav Mahler and Anton Bruckner. Other notable achievements include recordings of Stravinsky, Varese and Hindemith. More recently, with the Gewandhaus Orchestra, Chailly has led recordings of Felix Mendelssohn, Bach, Johannes Brahms, and the Robert Schumann symphonies in the re-orchestrations by Gustav Mahler. His past recordings with American orchestras included Shostakovich: The Dance Album with the Philadelphia Orchestra[14] and Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps with the Cleveland Orchestra. In October 2011 Chailly released 'a set of the nine symphonies and a generous number of overtures' by Ludwig van Beethoven on Decca, played by the Gewandhausorchester.[15]
Chailly has been married twice. He has a daughter, Luana, by his first marriage to Anahi Carfi, and a stepson from his second and current marriage to Gabriella Terragni.

Roll7 may have created OlliOlli, but BlitWorks provided the PS4 and PS3 ports for the game. The studio also brought roguelike Spelunky to Vita. Our review of the original Vita version of OlliOlli found the game a bit difficult, but that for every "ten failed attempts" at a trick, each success felt like we earned it. In June, Roll7 introduced a fix for a game-crashing bug in addition to leaderboards, which are included in the other PlayStation versions.

My Cardiff
Les Rees
Les Rees is Director of Regional Liaison at Cardiff University. He writes of his 20 year association with the University and his involvement in the merger of the University of Wales College of Medicine and Cardiff University in 2004
Les Rees
1 February 1986 a Saturday. Having had a very late last day at Swansea University I was enjoying a lie in when the phone rang at 9.00am. I stumbled out of bed and went downstairs no mobiles in those days. It was Alun Roberts, then Registrar and Secretary of the University of Wales College of Medicine (UWCM), asking me where I was and was wondering if there had been a problem in getting from Swansea to Cardiff. He told me that UWCM was open for business on Saturdays as clinicians and students were working as normal. Technically, it was indeed my first day of employment at UWCM: so maybe I should have been there! I broke out into a cold sweat and mumbled something or other I cant recall what exactly. It was a wind up, of course, but it typified Aluns humour and the spirit which pervaded the UWCM team both at that time and in all of the years that followed.
That conversation was the start both of a long friendship with Alun and of my connection to Cardiff University. Those early days were characterised by strong leadership from Sir Herbert Duthie, then Provost of UWCM, who had the surgeons knack of making the right decision and just letting people get on with it. Subsequently, and with a change of title to Vice-Chancellor, came Ian Cameron, a physician who, perhaps in the style of all physicians, would listen to the opinion of others although he had a very firm sense of the direction in which he wished to take the University. In the years leading up to merger, UWCM was led by Steve Tomlinson. His style of leadership, empowering staff and promoting a sense of inclusivity, was a major strength to those of us at UWCM during the pre-merger discussions. He, alongside Dr David Grant, was especially steadfast in his belief that merger was the right thing to do. Together their shared vision has provided a platform for the next 125 years.
In eighteen years of working closely with NHS colleagues, one couldnt help but feel a sense of continuity in the higher education sector which the health service in Wales simply did not have. NHS structures came and went and with each new structure came the threat for colleagues in the health service of the loss of jobs or of having to apply for roles which they were currently filling. I think it made our own merger discussions, when they came around, seem all the more sensible, well managed and do-able. Yes there were times of challenge and difficulty but there was a belief that this was the right thing to do and a vision that the new Cardiff University could, collectively, go from strength to strength and indeed take its place on the world stage.
Memories? There really are so many excellent memories but I should highlight a trip to Japan to receive an Honorary Fellowship from Kobe-Gakuin University. Perhaps also a degree ceremony in Curaçao when the then Vice-Chancellor (Ian Cameron), the Dean of Nursing and I conducted the ceremony in Welsh for a group of somewhat bemused Dutch-speaking postgraduate nurses before going out to celebrate Carnival. Its sometimes a tough job but someone has to do it!
Best of all, so many colleagues who have become friends. They know who they are and I thank them for the privilege of working with them over the last twenty odd years or so.

Mars Bay Bonefish Lodge is located in the settlement of Mars Bay near the southern tip of Andros. Andros is the largest of the Bahamian islands located 150 miles Southeast of Miami, and about 50 miles Southwest of Nassau, New Providence. One mile off the coast of the island lies the third largest barrier reef in the world, the Tongue of the Ocean where the water depth plummets from 30 feet to 6000 feet. The reef runs for about 170 miles. Just off the reef in deep water are Dorado, Tuna, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Jacks. On the reef are Barracuda, Snappers, and Grouper. All this is surrounded by hundreds of square miles of fishable flats known worldwide for trophy bone fishing.
It's no secret that some of the largest populations and biggest bonefish swim the flats of South Andros. You'll be fishing areas like Beach Cay, Grassy Creek, Hawks Nest, Cistern Point, the Curly Cuts, Jackfish, and Water Cays to name a few. Bonefish average three to six pounds with fish exceeding ten pounds. Andros has bragging rights as the Bonefishing Capital of the World. Mars Bay Bonefish Lodge provides the nearest access for those wanting to fish the southern tip of South Andros.
There are permit and tarpon but sightings are few and far between. If you come expecting to catch one you will be disappointed. There are better places to fish for those species. South Andros is primarily a bonefish fishery. Having said that, two permit were hooked last spring season.A variety of fly patterns are effective on the flats and creeks of South Andros. There is no "best fly" although some would argue that point. Don't believe them. Frankly, if you brought nothing but a pocket full of Gotchas you would do just fine. What is more important than the fly is an accurate cast and proper strip. A variety of fly patterns are effective on the flats and creeks of South Andros. If you check the Recommended Tackle section you will find more information about flies.

What is the best way to clean my new amazing flip flops? I want to keep them smelling fresh and looking new.Asked on 9/24/2013 by Mary from NY1 answer
We foremost recommend using an antibacterial soap and water and hand wash, please do not machine wash. Also try scrubbing the top sole with a soft bristled brush while cleaning and gently bending the sandal from heel to toe under water pressure so that any dirt in the grooves of the top sole will wash away. Let them dry naturally out of direct sunlight.Answered on 9/25/2013 by Teva Product Specialist

Is the flip flop water proof?Asked on 9/12/2013 by a1 answer

It's no wonder that more people are traveling and vacationing on cruise ships. With a planet covered with nearly 80% water, we now have access to most of the world from floating resorts. Shore excursions to Machu Picchu & Galapagos Islands are more affordable than you think. South American cruise ships may visit several "gateway" ports convenient to both the Galapagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador, and the ruins of Machu Picchu, high in the Andes Mountains of Peru.
Guayaquil, Ecuador - located on the Pacific coast of Ecuador & a prominent gateway to the Galapagos Islands and Ecuadorian Amazon jungle. Ask about our river cruises in the jungle. Full international airport services.
Lima, Peru - located on the Pacific coast of Peru and considered the first of 3 gateway cities that visitors pass to reach the ruins of Machu Picchu. Full international airport services.
Santiago, Chile - located inland about 1 hour + drive from coastal port Valparaiso, Chile. Full international airport services.
Galapagos Islands - No longer just a cruise-only destination, we offer affordable land-based tours with accommodations in comfortable, eco-friendly lodges that feature full bathrooms, exquisite local cuisine and connections to the local culture. In small groups, you'll hop by boat from island to island with a licensed naturalist guide to see marine iguanas, giant tortoises, penguins, sea lions, blue-footed boobies and more, up close and personal!
Snorkeling equipment is included for those who choose to see what lies under the surface of the water and guided hikes for those who are curious about the geological origins of the islands. Your trip can be as active as you choose. Select from 5 to 10 day tours. Ask about the "honeymoon" special or scuba diving tours. Cost will vary depending on the number of days and the level of comfort you desire.
Machu Picchu - We offer 4 to 7-day excursion tours that will take you from the high-altitude Incan city of Cuzco, through the Sacred Valley of the Incas and to Machu Picchu in safety and comfort. Machu Picchu is not like European heritage destinations, where you step outside your hotel and hail and taxi and go.
Going to Machu Picchu requires careful planning and the coordination of multi-step logistics, including transfers, trains & shuttle buses. All the more reason to rely on our expertise. We take care of the details, so you can enjoy the trip. It's surprisingly affordable.
For those travelers who are sensitive to altitude, we can start your tour in the Sacred Valley, (2000' lower than Cuzco), visit the ruins of Machu Picchu, which are even lower, (8000') then save the visit to Cuzco for last. We can arrange the classic 4-Day Inca Trail hike or 7-Day lodge-to-lodge trekking on the Salkantay route.
While Lima, Peru is the main gateway to Machu Picchu, everyone passes through the secondary gateway, Cuzco, located at 11,000' in the Andes Mountains. There are numerous 1-hour daily flights between Lima and Cuzco. Lan airlines offers the most choices, but Taca airlines can be less expensive. And Star Peru & Peruvian Airlines are affordable, smaller competitors in this market.
From Cuzco, everyone travels by private vehicle and/or train to Aguas Calientes, unless they hike the Inca Trail. From Aguas Calientes, shuttle buses transport everyone to the Machu Picchu National Park entrance. Cost will depend on the number of days and the level of comfort you desire. Please allow at least 3 days for your trip from to/from your cruise ship. It's possible to exit the cruise from Port Callao in Lima, Peru and return to the cruise at General San Martin sea terminal near Pisco, Peru.
Other things to consider:
How far in advance should trips of this magnitude be planned? Trips to Galapagos Islands require more advance planning than those to Machu Picchu. It is not uncommon for travelers to contact us one year before their intended travel dates. The first step is to contact us regarding availability.
When choosing travel insurance, we recommend coverage that includes underwaterwater and hiking activites. Please read the fine print before you choose and make sure your activities are covered by your policy. We offer travel insurance for soft adventures.

As the gap between available skilled labor and the rapidly growing science, technology, engineering and math industries, or STEM, jobs continues to widen, lawmakers are struggling to find a balance between meeting the needs of the burgeoning sectors and creating fair immigration policy.
"This bill makes our immigration system smarter by admitting those who have the education and skills America needs," Texas Representative Lamar Smith said.
"Although this bill ostensibly seeks to increase STEM visas, it appears to have another, in my opinion, more sinister purpose to actually reduce legal immigration levels," California Representative Zoe Lofgren.

What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Lipolyze is marketed as a dietary supplement that is suppose to help people lose excess weight. The manufacture states the formula is stimulant free and claims it helps the user to maintain lean muscle mass while dieting. Lipolyze may have been intended to work as a caloric wasting supplement. It is manufactured by Species Nutrition who claims it is an effective way to burn fat and get the body energized. Purportedly, Lipolyze increases the body's rate of metabolism and use catabolic (muscle wasting) hormones.
List Of Ingredients

Product Features
The Lipolyze product is marketed most directly to people who are body builders. The main active ingredient in Lipolyze is Usnic Acid. Usnic Acid is used in the medical field as an antibiotic and as a weight reducer. There is no evidence to prove its effectiveness in aiding anyone to lose weight. It has been proven that Lipolyze can damage the liver. The manufacturer suggest taking a different supplement offered by the company at night to help the user calm down.
- Lipolyze includes ingredients that are supposed to be fat burners and antioxidants .
- All-natural ingredients.
- No studies to support the company claims.
- The ingredients may not be included at a high enough dosage to affect weight.
- There are no studies to indicate the safety of wasting supplements.
- The company does not offer a money back guarantee.
Lipolyze contains ingredients that may be beneficial to people who are body builders. The average dieter may have a hard time trying to adjust the dosage to meet their needs. There are no scientific studies to support any of the claims made by Lipolyze producers. There are studies on some of the individual ingredients but this is different from having a study done on Lipolyze's specific blend and dosing of ingredients. There may be safety issues associated with using a wasting type supplement, such as Lipolyze. The effectiveness of Lipolyze cannot be determined without independent studies. Lipolyze does not offer a money back guarantee in you are not satisfied with the products performance.

Nikon Monarch Binoculars
Nikon Monarch Binoculars
I see that the [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/nikon-brand.html]Nikon[/link] has just introduced the [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/nikon-brand.html]Nikon[/link] Monarch 3 [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/binoculars.html]binoculars[/link] to their range of bins. How does this new Monarch model compare to the Monarch ATB dielectric coated models. Specifically, I'm considering buying the 10x42 monarch 3 model for urban surveillance work (I'm a private investigator) and am curious as to whether its worth extra money to buy the same spec bins but the ATB dielectric model instead.

Steer Clear of I-95 This Weekend After 11 p.m.
Categories: News
Traffic on I-95 last Saturday. |
I warn you because I got stuck in it last Saturday, and it ruined my night. I got on at the junction, and traffic was flowing fine until right after Exit 3B. It then took me about 40 minutes (maybe more; I lost track of time shortly before I lost track of my will to live) to get off Et exit 4B. A trip that usually takes 40 seconds.
You do not want to get stuck in this. The only reason to get on 95 this weekend from the junction is to head to downtown or South Beach via one of the various Exit 2s. All others, steer clear.

★ Biography:
Haruto was born the 4th child of two zany parents. Haruto's Father is a wellknown H-manga-ka (At least, his pen name is famous.) and his mother is his father's strict editor. Though his parents were home often, they were always fairly busy with comics, so his older sisters did most of the work of raising him. Unfortunately, being the only boy, Haruto was subject to the whims and teasing of his sisters (including the makeup and dress-up escapades followed by snapshot photos.) Every time his mama got pregnant, he'd pray to bhudda that he'd finally get a little brother----bhudda must hate him since he ended up with more sisters. It wasn't all bad, though. Haruto learned many things from his elder sisters (knitting, tarot card reading, cooking, makeup, hairstyling, fashion, etc.) plus, whenever things got too crazy at home, he'd go hang out with his best friend. His interest in Hoshizura High didn't spark until his second eldest sister taught him a little bit about tarot reading and astrology. It wasn't until his best friend moved near the high school that he decided to check it out and enroll.
-Haruto's sisters from eldest to youngest: Anko(30), Chizuru(26), Mamori(24), Shima(12), Sayako(8)
-His eldest sister is the Editor-in-chief at a popular fashion magazine
-He's scared of his mama because she's strict and always seems pissed off. (It's just the stress from dealing with her lazy mangaka hubby Deadlinesplz)
-His father wants him to take over the family business (Hahaha, Haruto doesn't have the stomach for making pervy manga---plus he can't draw )
-His mama wants him to become a real man and marry a rich girl so that she can finally retire in peace---lmfao
-Dotes on his two younger sisters and admires his elder sisters
-Even though he knows a lot of stuff about women, he's no smooth operator. (His rejection count is quite high, actually.)

8.1.2012 (Via RACER) – Bad luck seems to follow me; anyone have any ideas to get rid of it all? I have never felt so close to success in my life, but it just seems I'm missing that last little piece of the puzzle that ties everything together.
A quick recap of Edmonton: the weekend was like a rollercoaster ride. We were P8, and P6 in the two practice sessions on Friday, but we decided to make a couple of changes going into qualifying to free the car up some to help us through the medium to high-speed corners throughout the track, mainly where all of the time is on a track. (watch video below for Star Mazda in-car from Edmonton).
We started our 30-minute qualifying session Saturday morning and were able to get 15 minutes into the session before the first yellow flag came out. At this point I was P5 and debating if I wanted to try another set of tires in the short amount of time we had left. The only downside about going to a second set of tires in qualifying is, we only get three sets per weekend. So you use one in practice, usually one in qualifying, and the last set in the first race. For the second race, we use the tires we qualified on, which makes it really important to get a good qualifying run, so you can start a race on a brand-new set. I decided to go with a second set and try my luck with six minutes to go. On my in-lap, I put in the second faster lap, only 00.005 of a second off of my teammate Sage Karam. It was an awesome feeling to give the team their first all Andretti Autosport front row in Star Mazda.

If convicted, Michael Milliner, 37, faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Milliner is accused of shooting Shalanda Pope in her car at Blue Bell Creameries, where she worked, just after 4 a.m. on Aug. 31, 2010. Milliner also shot himself and had to be airlifted to Birmingham for treatment.
At his preliminary hearing, Sylacauga police investigator Mike Smith testified that one of Pope's sons saw her and Milliner talking outside her home the morning before she was killed.
Smith said the son told him his mother appeared to be afraid.
Talladega County Circuit Judge Julian King will be presiding over the trial.
Across the hall, Circuit Judge Bo Hollingworth will spend the first part of the week trying two appeals from municipal court.
According to Assistant District Attorney Scott Brewer, Hollingworth will hear a non-jury case against James Sims, who is charged with shooting into a neighbor's home in Childersburg last year.
Sims has entered a plea of not guilty by reason of severe mental disease or defect.

Bardet–Biedl syndrome | |
Classification and external resources | |
DiseasesDB | 7286 |
MeSH | D020788 |
The Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a ciliopathic human genetic disorder that produces many effects and affects many body systems. It is characterized principally by obesity, retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly, hypogonadism, and renal failure in some cases.[1] Historically, mental retardation has been considered a principal symptom but is now not regarded as such.
Bardet–Biedl syndrome is a pleiotropic disorder with variable expressivity and a wide range of clinical variability observed both within and between families. The main clinical features are rod–cone dystrophy, with childhood-onset visual loss preceded by night blindness; postaxial polydactyly; truncal obesity that manifests during infancy and remains problematic throughout adulthood; specific learning difficulties in some but not all individuals; male hypogenitalism and complex female genitourinary malformations; and renal dysfunction, a major cause of morbidity and mortality. There is a wide range of secondary features that are sometimes associated with BBS[2] including[3]
The syndrome is named after Georges Bardet and Arthur Biedl.[4]
The first known case was reported by Laurence and Moon in 1866 at the Ophthalmic Hospital in South London. Laurence–Moon–Biedl–Bardet syndrome are no longer considered as valid terms in that patients of Laurence and Moon had paraplegia but no polydactyly and obesity, which are the key elements of the Bardet–Biedl syndrome. Laurence–Moon syndrome is usually considered a separate entity. However, some recent research suggests that the two conditions may not be distinct.[5]
As of 2012[update], 14[6] (or 15)[7] different BBS genes have been identified.
The detailed biochemical mechanism that leads to BBS is still unclear.
The gene products encoded by these BBS genes, called BBS proteins, are located in the basal body and cilia of the cell.[12]
Using the round worm C. elegans as a model system, biologists found that BBS proteins are involved in a process called Intraflagellar transport (IFT), a bi-directional transportation activity within the cilia along the long axis of the ciliary shaft that is essential for ciliogenesis and the maintenance of cilia.[13] Recent biochemical analysis of human BBS proteins revealed that BBS proteins are assembled into a multiple protein complex, called "BBSome". BBSome is proposed to be responsible for transporting intracellular vesicles to the base of the cilia and to play an important role in the ciliary function.[citation needed]
Since abnormalities of cilia are known to be related to a wide range of disease symptoms including those commonly seen in BBS patients, it is now widely accepted that mutated BBS genes affect normal cilia functions, which, in turns, causes BBS.[citation needed]
A theory that photoreceptor cells are nourished by the IFT of retinal cilia now offers a potential explanation for the retinal dystrophy common in BBS patients after their early years of life.[14][15]
Genes involved include:
Recent findings in genetic research have suggested that a large number of genetic disorders, both genetic syndromes and genetic diseases, that were not previously identified in the medical literature as related, may be, in fact, highly related in the genetypical root cause of the widely varying, phenotypically observed disorders. BBS is one such syndrome that has now been identified to be caused by defects in the cellular ciliary structure. Thus, BBS is a ciliopathy. Other known ciliopathies include primary ciliary dyskinesia, polycystic kidney and liver disease, nephronophthisis, Alstrom syndrome, Meckel–Gruber syndrome and some forms of retinal degeneration.[16]


text: Sikorski's speech is certainly a powerful one; whether people agree with what he is saying or not, I believe that they will remember it. I do think that he has some good points. It would be utterly disastrous for Europe and the rest of the world, if the EU was to fall apart. I'm sure the EU recognizes this, but I am not completely sure if they are taking the threat as seriously as they need to be. That being said, I don't think that it is entirely fair to put so much pressure on Germany. Merkel has been trying to improve the situation in Greece and the rest of the EU. All of the EU countries need to work together and contribute if the best solution is to be found.

The late, great Leonard Nimoy, who died earlier today at the age of 83, will always be Mr. Spock, second-in-command of the USS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk. For a long time, Nimoy was not okay with this. And then, over the years, he embraced the character that defined his career and inspired an entire generation of fans (many of whom became scientists, engineers, and astronauts). But Nimoy didn't just sit back and rest on his Vulcan laurels. When he wasn't wearing those pointy ears, Nimoy was acting, directing, writing, singing, and lending his likeness and distinctive voice to commercials and TV specials. He was a real Hollywood renaissance man, dabbling in high art, low art, and everything in-between.

Petrochina third-quarter profit drops
PUBLISHED: 31 Oct 2012 15:43:00 | UPDATED: 31 Oct 2012 15:45:04PRINT EDITION: 31 Oct 2012
PetroChina has said profit tumbled 33 per cent in the third quarter as crude oil prices dipped and the company continued to lose money at its refining division.
China's biggest oil and gas company said late on Tuesday that profit in the three months to September was 24.9 billion yuan, or 0.14 yuan, a share.
That's down from 37.4 billion yuan or 0.2 yuan a share in the same period a year ago.
The world's biggest publicly traded oil producer said the refining business lost 30 billion yuan in the first nine months of 2012 because of Chinese government price controls aimed at keeping inflation at bay.
PetroChina pumped two per cent more crude oil in the first nine months of the year but the average selling price slipped 0.2 per cent.

Love, love. I am 200 plus pounds so I was concerned about the sturdiness but it is awsome.
We have been using this bed for a few months and my son loves it. The quality is great, the assembling is reasonably easy and it is very sturdy. I also ordered another brand (Murray) from overstock but this Scandinavia one is way better. If you need a platform bed go with this one, you won't feel regret.
You couldn't ask for a better bed frame. Easy to put together (I did it by myself and it only took 30 mins to complete). Lightweight to move but durable to stand a considerable amount of weight.
I was looking for an inexpensive platform bed for my daughter and found this one after some searching. All in all, I'm pretty happy with the purchase, but be aware of what you're getting before you buy. Pros: 1. Low cost 2. Relatively solid 3. Simple construction (if you have the right tools) 4. Finish looks decent from a distance 5. Just 45 minutes from opening the box to adding the mattress (again, if you have the right tools) 6. Low cost again (That's why you're buying this bed after all, right?) Cons: 1. "Solid wood" construction is true, but it doesn't mean much. The rails are fingerjointed, meaning they're made up of multiple smaller pieces glued end to end. It's an OK approach for the money, but it's hardly fine furniture. The legs are solid is the same way a chunk of 2x4 is solid, that is to say lightweight wood in one piece, but again, they're nothing fancy. (In fact, they may actually be pieces of 2x4 cut and stained to look more upscale.) 2. The finish is sprayed on heavily, is very shiny, and only looks good from a distance. Up close, not-so-much. 3. The over-sized "feature" of the frame is just marketing language to cover poor engineering, I think. Yes, your blankets will probably cover the gap, but there's a good inch of space all around a standard twin mattress 4. The slats are a rather low-grade plywood and as such don't have a lot of bend strength. There are plenty of them, though, so it's probably not an issue for average-weight people. Just in case, I took my daughter's Bunky Board from her old bunk and put it on the frame to help add some rigidity to the slats 5. The screwdriver supplied to install the screws in the slats is a tiny pocket driver and *might* be good enough to open the battery compartment on a toy, but it certainly isn't capable of driving all the screws you need to attach the slats. A power drill with a driver bit is a much better option and will save you a lot of time and aggravation 6. My set came with four extra holes drilled in the headboard end. For me it's not a big deal since the bed is against a wall, but it's not a great sign of high-end quality control
Bought this bed to use with the Serta 8-inch Twin-size Memory Foam Mattress . To date (one month from date of purchase) they both are above what I expected in terms of quality/price and comfort/ease of assembly. This is a no frills bed, and had everything out and assembled in 30-45 min alone. For those looking for a easy cost effective bed this will more that satisfy that requirement. I have no regrets about getting this bed. It arrived on time and well protected. No broken or missing parts. Will likely get another shortly for upstairs. Not going to do much better for the price.
I ordered 2 of these for a spare bedroom to be used by my grandchildren. They were easy enough to assemble and will serve the purpose of occasional use just fine. I'm not sure I would want this design for long term every day use.
We bought this bed about a year ago for my son. It was easy to put together but almost immediately would fall apart, requiring daily repairs. Just this week the entire leg of the bed broke off; unrepairable. We are very disappointed in this purchase.
Very complicated to make, wasn't prepared for that Had to hire someone to help. The screws supplied are cheap and we had to use our own as the ones provided didn't hold
Got this as our toddler's first bed. She's fallen out once, and it's close enough to the ground, no damage. The directions were not correct, so that took us a bit to figure out, and the bed creaks a lot, but we've only been using it for 2 weeks, so hopefully that will stop as it becomes worn in. My biggest complaint would be the size of the gap between the mattress and the top/bottom/side rails. Guess that's for if you tuck in your comforter, but when someone is in the bed, it's a big gap.
I am very happy with this product. It went together rather easily, I thought. Feels solid. Doesn't squeak. Clean, simple lines in the design. I will purchase one more for my other twin bed.

According to CNN, the crime came to the attention of local police in the small town of Royton when several children turned over small snap-top bags of white powder. After testing, it was confirmed to be the illegal substance.
A 21-year-old woman was also arrested, but she has since been released without charge. The police report that the distribution of the "treat" was accidental and that no children were harmed by the cocaine.
More From Delish: Clear Out the Candy: 10 Recipes for Leftover Halloween Candy
For years urban legends have swirled around the holiday, causing parents to wonder if candy might contain razor blades or other harmful substances. The Washington Monthly reports that Dr. Joel Best, a sociology and criminal justice professor at the University of Delaware, completed scrupulous research to debunk this myth and found no such basis for parents' fears.
Still, if you have any leftover candy, it's best to be overly cautious and check through your children's stash to look for anything suspicious. Be sure to discard homemade treats, unless of course they were prepared by a neighbor you know.

The Lost Towels and Rule One
Saw this scene at the pool where Anna practices her swimming strokes. Looked like quite a collection.
And in this shot you can see how badly the rain is needed.

No having fun. Come on, no splashing?

Im glad they don't allow "high Backdives Off Boards". I guess the "lo Backdives" are much safer.

The fact that Rule #1 has to even be stated is fabulous! And, the towel line…seriously…that's like the lost coat pile at school in the winter.

Buy or DIY?
Posted By Jessica Fisher On September 6, 2012 @ 8:26 pm In Frugal Friday,Good Eats | 29 Comments
Making something yourself can be a great way to save money. But there are always costs to the Do-It-Yourself method. Should you buy or DIY?
This week I made pickles. Ten pounds of cukes became 11+ quarts of homemade kosher dill pickles right before my very eyes.
There were a number of snafus in procuring the pickling cucumbers, too numerous and boring to tell you about. I spent about three to four hours scrubbing cucumbers, filling jars, watching a pot boil. In the end there was a beautiful array of jars of pickles to enjoy in the coming year.
I felt quite proud of myself the next morning to see that collection of jars on the kitchen counter. My heart sang when I tried to pry off the lids with my fingers, but found that all the lids had sealed as they should.
No morning shower of pickle juice is a good thing.
Provided that my family likes this style of pickle — I tried a new recipe — we'll have many months of pickles to enjoy on hamburgers, sandwiches, and pulled pork.
My friend Anne [4] posted this great flowchart to help her think through the process of Buy or DIY? Read the whole post [5] to check out the beautiful projects she created recently and to see how she assessed the worth of those projects.
Anne asks some wonderful questions [5] in the flowchart, prompting us to consider:
I pondered her questions as I waited for my cukes to arrive, having ordered them several weeks in advance and having no way to back out. Still it was a good exercise to walk through.
In the instance of my pickle-making adventure, I walked through the questions. Can I do it? I've made pickles once before. We liked them well enough for me to make them again, but to try a different recipe. I want to get better at canning and preserving, so while I don't have mad skilz, the only way to get better is to keep trying.
Can I afford it? The cucumbers were purchased from a local farmer. Obviously, they would have been cheaper if I had grown them myself. I paid $20 for 10 pounds of beautiful, small pickling cukes. The cost ended up being less than $2 per quart. Since these are mostly organic pickles, that's a pretty good bargain. Tiny jars sell for $3 to $5 in these here parts.
Will I enjoy doing it? I do enjoy the process of canning, barring illness and crabby kids. My grandmother canned all their foods and I feel a certain kinship with her in going back to the old timey methods. Canning skipped a generation in my family so I never learned as a child or saw it first hand, but I'm teaching myself through research and trial and error. I have such a sense of accomplishment when I see those jars lined up in my pantry.
Is it worth it? If we like the pickles — we'll know in about a month — then I'd say it was definitely worth it. If we don't, well, back to the drawing board.
I love this thought process, though. Anne's questions [5] provide a great starting point to help you figure out if you should tackle a project yourself or find an economical source to buy it from instead.
This is a great way to save money, effort, and time!
Time to swap ideas and inspiration for saving money.
