恶人谷

It's a rainy and cold Monday morning. To cheer meself up, here's sharing Ricky Gervais' blog. I like the Q&A with John Hodgeman.

That is all.

西北欧连续晴热，我们这里昨天报26度，号称比西班牙和土耳其还热。公园里绿地上人山人海，晒太阳，都高兴得要命。只有我哼哼唧唧，说这也太热了，一定超过30度。果然伦敦昨天最高温度32度。

不过这星期的开头不大好呢，一大早就听到四川地震的消息。

好可怕，我最害怕地震了。我家乡那里是地震带，虽然从来没震过，但是给童年的我留下了精神创伤。

这次地震震级和震源深度都和唐山大地震很像。

好象很严重呢.
我也算是经历过6点几级地震的人了. 想到那漫长的一分钟还是腿软.

转篇有意思的博。

我那时10岁，小学生，尚未青春期。

很早就睡了，9点，妈妈还在和人聊着什么。忽然醒了，床在剧烈摇晃，外面大人在喊，我昏昏涨涨，也不知道怎么做，大约是呆了。直到停止摇晃了，才出了门去。我妈骂我死猪一样。

大人议论纷纷，甚至谈起10多年前的龙陵大地震。过了10分钟，大家觉得没事了，一起摸黑进了客厅，却一下子突然又摇晃起来，众人狂奔。那夜定是没有家了，可是我们在哪儿入睡，我怎么也想不起来了。

一夜之间，我们的世界全变了。

房屋没有倒塌，可是已都是危房，余震不断，秋风兼夜雨，政府叫我们住防震棚，油毛毡房。

房子在建造，坏消息不断传来，爸妈工作过的那个中学死了一百多个学生，大多是女孩，她们的死因基本都相同，第一次震的时候，短衣出来羞涩难当，又冲回宿舍取外衣，但第二次大震摧枯拉朽地埋了所有宿舍，以及他们。

我那些熟悉的儿时玩伴都还安好，所以对那些上升的数字尚没有什么感觉。我惊奇的是防震棚，一个奇异的集体生活热腾腾的开始了。

我开始结识我们单位大院所有的小孩，以及那些看起来很

今年真的怪妖孽的，这还一半都没有呢，雪灾地震的，我都迷信了。

小K转的博很好看。
我一边看一边回忆，我的地震回忆其实都是家里人的二手回忆。
然后往下再细看，原来博是指1988年。倒地不起了我。

每次受灾最严重的都是学校建筑.
我鄙视过本地小学"跟地震棚一样", 真地震了也许会安全.

never know whether to laugh or cry. i know it's what industry news is supposed to cover, but it still... bugs.

BASE METALS: LME Metals Rebound As Mkt Awaits News From China
By Devon Maylie
12 May 2008

LONDON (Dow Jones)--Base metals traded on the London Metal Exchange rebounded Monday as participants took advantage of a nervous market to buy following the major earthquake that rocked China early in the day.

The full effect of the 7.8-magnitude tremor - centered in the southwest province of Sichuan - is still unknown, but traders and analysts said they were expecting the situation to worsen in the coming days as more news filters out.

In the meantime, market players will likely cover short positions, said a London trader.

Another London broker said the Chinese earthquake will have a bigger impact on the LME base metals than anyone anticipates. He said the majority of operations in the area of the epicenter are lead and zinc underground mines.

Until news comes from China, market players will use the situation to push prices in their own preferred direction, the broker said.

LME copper closed the kerb up $161 from Friday's kerb at $$8,260 a metric ton, LME aluminum was up $47 at $2,927/ton, LME lead was up $54 at $2,245/ton, LME zinc was up $24 at $2,178/ton, LME tin was up $315 at $24,900/ton. The metals gained as news of deaths and power station closures filtered out of China, raising the possibility of halted metals production.

"By (Tuesday) you might find all base metals prices are higher and everyone will be saying it's because of this," a trader said.

LME nickel bucked the trend and ended down $175 at $26,500/ton.

With a holiday in continental Europe, volumes were relatively light at the LME, traders said.

Tin hit a record high of $25,000/ton and will continue to trade towards $27,000/ton, Barclays Capital said. Tin is getting support from ongoing supply concerns, with largest tin producer Indonesia consistently plagued by smelter shutdowns.

Another London broker said base metals were higher as fund money flowed into the metals component of an index as a U.S. dollar hedge.
