Product Details
The most anticipated game of the year and the most ambitious Call of Duty game ever, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - PS3, will hit shelves worldwide on November 13th. Rooted in near-future fiction, Call of Duty: Black Ops II multiplayer will introduce players to some of the most cutting-edge weaponry and equipment that 2025 will have to offer.
Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 propels players into a near future, 21st Century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare.
Relive the close quarters chaos of this classic fan-favorite map, reimagined in a visionary depiction of the "Model Home of the Future".
Multiplayer Overview
All-New Create A Class: Create a class has been re-imagined, introducing players to a new "pick-10" allocation system, allowing an unprecedented number of combinations of create a class content. Players no longer have to take content from each category; instead, trade items from one category for extra items in another - any combination of 10 items makes almost anything possible.
Pick 10 System: Ten points and nearly endless combinations: every piece of content is worth one point, and you can spend your 10 points in any way you like, encouraging a greater level of customization for individual play styles.
Wildcards: Also a point each, Wildcards allow players to "extend the system" and configure classes in more unique ways - players can take multiple perks from one category, equip their primary with three attachments, carry two lethals, and more.
All-New Score Streaks: Score Streaks reward players for helping their team win the game: capturing flags, defending your teammate with an assault shield, getting kills and assists are all examples of actions that help your team win and thus give you score. Each action has a different value and can influence the theater of operations.
2025 comes to life:
A range of new features:
Upgraded Weapons, Attachments and Equipment: Near-future warfare means upgrades in technology that soldiers will use in the field. Additionally, weapon perks are now built into the attachments:
Multiplayer Maps:
eSPORTS - A huge inspiration for the team and an exciting additional innovation to the multiplayer agenda, Call of Duty: Black Ops II introduces League Play and an exciting new toolset of integrated shoutcasting capabilities, taking the competitive spirit of Call of Duty and elevating it to a spectator sport.
League Play - Competition is fun at any level, which is why Treyarch has introduced Leagues, offering skill-based matchmaking and seasonal ladders. Play a small number of matches to get your skill rating and from there, you'll be placed into a division with players of similar skill. Keep winning and you'll move up in rank - steady progress will move you up the ladder and into upper divisions. Skill-based matchmaking ensures that you are challenged but not out-gunned. League play is for everyone.
CODcast - creating a new class of specialized spectator, the CODcaster, who takes on the role of color commentator for any game, providing play by play coverage of the action on-screen. There are a variety of specific features built into the game's CODcast menu to allow shoutcasting like never before:
More to Come:
IN DEVELOPMENT: Live Streaming - In addition, Activision is proud to announce ongoing development of an amazing new live game streaming feature that will help make competitive gaming not only fun to play but also fun to watch. Once ready, Treyarch will enable a streaming toolset that allows players to stream their gameplay (and themselves) from inside the game itself. Requirements, rules, availability and launch timing of this new feature are yet to be announced.

Catastrophic Success
September 24, 2011
there a man with brain so dead
never to himself hath said,
Security looks like a Ponzi Scheme?"
- With apologies to Sir Walter Scott
Today we look at Social Security. In the US, Texas Governor Perry touched the third rail of Social Security and called it a Ponzi scheme, which of course immediately made him the leading candidate in the "shoot the messenger" category. Behind the rhetoric, we look at some actual numbers. No, not the unfunded liabilities, that's too easy. Let's look at what a heartless, uncompassionate man President Roosevelt was when he started Social Security (and that's what many will call me after reading this!). Behind the tongue in cheek, there are some very real issues that do not get addressed when we talk about Social Security, but that need to be part of the discussion. And of course, we must start off with the results of the FOMC meeting, which has me feeling not at all amused. What are they thinking? Apparently, they are seeing the results from another, alternative universe. There is a lot to cover as I head off to London, where I will finish this letter.
But first a very important announcement. I am very excited to be able to introduce my readers to a new mutual fund offered by my friends Altegris Investments. This fund is a blend of five commodity trading advisors or CTAs. Normally, to access a CTA you be to be an accredited investor, with all the net-worth requirements and limited liquidity. But Altegris has figured out how to wrap a mutual fund around CTAs and create a fund of commodity traders with all the usual aspects of a mutual fund (daily pricing, liquidity, etc.).
I have long been involved in the commodity-trading advisor space (some 20 years) and am a proponent of CTAs as a way to diversify portfolio risk. I have written a detailed report on this fascinating sector in relation to the fund, and it is available for free at http://www.altegrismutualfunds.com/landing/mauldinreports1.aspx, along with more information on the fund (including the offering memorandum and important risk disclosures, which are also included at the end of this letter).
The fund has been very well received since its launch and has grown rapidly to over $1 billion. There has been very active interest in the professional community, as advisors and brokers are looking for simple and realistic ways to diversify their clients' portfolio risk, as well as a way that is truly noncorrelated to typical stock funds and many other asset classes. Whether you are a professional or individual, you really should take the time to research what I think is a very solid fund. My partners at Altegris have decades of experience in the CTA space, with the largest database of CTAs and long-term relationships with many of the managers (I actually started my investment career in the commodity fund space, so have more than a passing knowledge of the arena). Given the potential for volatility in the global markets, I think it makes sense to have some exposure to funds that can go both long and short (depending on their models). I urge you to read my report.

Customer Reviews
- I had a charger from another company that was broken on delivery. After making a "Video" of what was wrong, and waiting just over 3 weeks, I was credited the selling price. I did my research (BETTER than the first time!) and found the iCharger 3010B. It was available at the site I used for the original purchase. I decided to shop around and found ProgressiveRC had the iCharger 3010B for a few dollars more. I ordered the charger and within days was enjoying the chargers capabilities. I had a possible issue on "Storage Mode" having the batteries being a bit higher charge than I thought was correct. After a Help Desk ticket response, turned out I was over doing the AMPS on that mode, and reduced to 1 AMP and the batteries were right on target! Great customer service! Plus, I like getting the Lifesaver candy in the packages!! :-)
This is my second iCharger 3010B. I blew the first one through my own stupidity...never plug your ac power cord into the 12v outlet on your charger box!
I was pleasantly surprised by the quick delivery by USPS. I ordered the charger on Sunday night, had it in my hands Wednesday afternoon.
- Every time I deal with these ppl it makes me wish that everyone else handled there business and customers like they do. 5 STAR ALL THE WAY!
- I love my Ichargers and this one is no exception.
Little mix up but not your fault...
Great service I'll be back! -
This charger is the best ever, I add no problem whatsoever in setting the configuration for charging my many type of batteries.
ProgressiveRC - Easy to use...extremely flexible...a powerhouse. PUT IT IN YOUR CART AND CHECKOUT! I bought 2 and love them. Progressive is top notch too. The only place to buy charging equipment.
Best E-Shop outthere !!!!! Great service,prices an products.
Gr Frank ( Netherlands) - I love my 3010B, It is one of the best investments I have made in this hobby. This is a reliable workhorse of a charger, with plenty of power for all of your charging needs! urs

FunNet is an integrative tool for analyzing gene co-expression networks built from microarray expression data. The analytic model implemented in this library involves two abstraction layers: transcriptional and functional (biological roles). A functional profiling technique using Gene Ontology & KEGG annotations is applied to extract a list of relevant biological themes from microarray expression profiling data. Afterwards multiple-instance representations are built to relate significant themes to their transcriptional instances (i.e. the two layers of the model). An adapted non-linear dynamical system model is used to quantify the proximity of relevant genomic themes based on the similarity of the expression profiles of their gene instances. Eventually an unsupervised multiple-instance clustering procedure, relying on the two abstraction layers, is used to identify the structure of the co-expression network composed from modules of functionally related transcripts. Functional and transcriptional maps of the co-expression network are provided separately together with detailed information on the network centrality of related transcripts and genomic themes.

Two witnesses
The two witnesses are two of God's prophets who are seen in a vision by John of Patmos, who appear during the Second woe in the Book of Revelation 11:1-14.
John is told that the court of God's temple would be trampled on by the nations for 42 months. During that period for 1,260 days (or 42 months, or 3½ years), two witnesses would be granted authority to prophesy. They are described as two olive trees and two lampstands who stand before the Lord of the earth. They are able to devour their enemies with fire that flows out of their mouths. They also have power over the sky and waters, and are able to strike the earth with plague. After their testimony, the Beast overcomes the two witnesses and kills them. For three and a half days, the people of the earth celebrate the death of the two witnesses who have tormented them for three and a half years. Then God resurrects the two witnesses. This strikes fear on everyone witnessing their revival and the two witnesses ascend to heaven. In the next hour, a great earthquake occurs and kills 7000 people, destroying a tenth of the city.[1]
The two witnesses have been identified by various theologians as real individuals, two groups of people, or as two concepts. Dispensationalist Christians believe that the events described in the Book of Revelation will occur before and during the Second Coming of Christ and attempt to associate references in the Book of Revelation with historical or current happenings and people.
Textual analysis[edit]
The Apocalypse of John is considered by most Christian theologians to be the apostolic writings that incorporate more Hebrew (i.e., Old Testament) scriptures into the text than any other book of the New Testament. The images, symbolism, and allegorical language used throughout the Revelation are impossible to fathom or interpret without a fairly comprehensive knowledge of the original "Testament". The purpose and destiny of the two witnesses is to decry the reign of the Antichrist-Beast.[citation needed]
According to the text, the two witnesses are symbolised as the "two olive trees and the two lampstands" that have the power to destroy their enemies, control the weather and cause plagues.[2] Their description as "two olive trees and two lampstands" may be symbolism, allegory, or literal.[3] Some theologians believe that the two olive trees represent the peace that the witnesses try to bring to the sinful Earth and the two lampstands represent the light that they shine for Christ.[citation needed]
In attempting to exegete Revelation 11, commentators who hold to a premillennial eschatology generally interpret the two witnesses in one of three ways: (1) as individuals either manifested in some form of reincarnation; or "in the spirit" of Biblical prophets who once appeared in Bible history; or simply as two individuals newly arrived on the earth; (2) as corporate in nature (human) standing for the Church only or for Israel only; or both Israel and the Church; or for both Jewish and Gentiles believers in Jesus; or (3) as symbolism or an expression of biblical concepts (i.e., the Old and New Testaments; the Law and the Prophets;[4] Mercy and Grace).
Enoch, Moses or Elijah[edit]
Early Christians, such as Tertullian, Irenaeus, and Hippolytus of Rome, have concluded that the two witnesses would be Enoch and Elijah, prophets who did not die because God "took" them. Others have proposed Moses as one of the witnesses, for his ability to turn water into blood and the power to plague the earth.[5]
Modern theologians, such as John Walvoord, have furthered the point of indivisualism by comparing the "two lampstands" and the "two olive trees" of Revelation 11 to the two golden pipes and two olive trees/branches of Zechariah 4. By the identification of the two olive branches as "two anointed ones" or "two sons of the oil", in Zechariah, this reinforces the literalist interpretation that the two witnesses are two people.[6] The personification of the two witnesses in Revelation, is so prevalent that according to theologian William Barclay, the passage seems to refer to definite persons.[7]
Walvoord pointed out that because the Revelation passage does not specifically identify who the two witnesses are, it would be safer to conclude that they are not related to any previous historical character. The literalist typically has a dispensationalist or futurist interpretation that the two witnesses will appear in the Last days.[8][9]
The two witnesses have been interpreted as representing the Church or a similar concept. The 1599 Geneva Study Bible has asserted that the two witnesses are the exclusive purvue of the church.[10] Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on the Whole Bible gives one church interpretation as consisting of believing Jews and that of the Gentiles.[11] John Wesley in his commentary on Revelation 11 suggests a more spiritual, almost ambiguous, application.[12] John Gill's Exposition of the Bible interprets the two witnesses as the true Church in counterdistinction to the antichrist system of Roman Catholicism.[13] Ross Taylor's Verse by Verse Commentary on Revelation clearly defines the Church as the "two olive trees and the two lampstands."
Similarly, the two witnesses have been identified as Israel and the Christian Church. The number two has been associated with the witness of Israel to the Gentile nations during the 70th Week of Daniel's prophecy.[14] The olive tree in the Scripture signifies Israel. The "witness of the Church" is signified by the two lampstands, whose identity was disclosed by the seven golden lampstands (i.e., candlesticks) revealed in Revelation 2-3 as the "churches." Revelation 2:1 refers to the churches as golden lampstands.
It has also been proposed that the two witnesses are the witnessing church, because Jesus sent out his disciples "two by two",[15]
Other views[edit]
In the Seventh-day Adventist interpretation, Uriah Smith and Ellen G. White considered the two witnesses to be the Old and New Testaments.[16][17][18] They believed that the French Revolution was the time when the "two witnesses" were killed.[19][20]
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that the two witnesses would be two prophets on a mission to the Jews in the modern nation of Israel,[21][22] possibly two members of their Quorum of the Twelve or their First Presidency,[23] who are considered to be prophets by the church.
The Baha'i Faith has a historicist interpretation of the two witnesses as being Muhammad and Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib.[24]

According to a press event held in Japan, AMD is planning on releasing a Black Edition of its quad-core Phenom 9600 processor. It will go on sale by the end of the year and it's obvious that the Black Edition Phenom will offer unlocked multiplier. In addition, Phenom 9700 (2.4GHz) and Phenom 9900 (2.6GHz) will be available in 1Q 2008. The first triple core Phenom 8000 series and Phenom FX will also be announced in 1H of 2008. Source: OCWORKBENCH
What is with the hype of triple cores? I imagine if you're not going with quad, it's better to get dual for less heat and higher clocks. I am of course used to Intel chips so if there's something I don't know please let me know. I don't like being misinformed =p
Wait, huh? You mean the current 9500 and 9600 don't have unlocked multipliers? What about the AMD OverDrive videos? We saw the guy crank the multipliers from 11x to 14x! Is multiplier manipulation only available via OverDrive?
The Black Edition X4 Phenom will be the one to have and will prob. sell out on launch day. They will prob. be as hard to find as the 3870's and the 8800GT's. That will be the cpu for me.
Depends on the software you are running. I alway use video encoding as an example. A slower clock tri core can encode faster than a lower clocked dual core. (depending on the amount of clock difference, obviously) Some games can benefit from it too, SupCom as an example, tho not all games will benefit.
You're leaving out quad cores which is where I become confused. Won't a quad core encode faster than a tricore? And the multithreaded games, like SupCom, won't quad core outperform the tricore in that as well? Obviously compared solely with dual cores, 3 sounds better, but with quads available...I'm still curious if theres a reason or place where 3 is superior to 4.
You are correct, quads are better than tris, when the software utilizes it. Whether or not tri cores become successful depends purely on how AMD prices them. If they are much cheaper than a quad, but only a few dollars more than a dual, they have the potential for great bang for the buck. Then again, if the situation is reversed, such that a quad is only a few dollars more, but a dual is way cheaper, they'll be a terrible buy.
They're not meant to be better than the quads, but rather a just step between duals and quads (in terms of price and performance). So if you want faster but don't want to shell out for a quad you could go triple. A lot of it will depend on the pricing though but since it's something currently exclusive to AMD and it will also be used as a way to reclaim waste (say they make a quad core but one of the individual core's clock is off or the core is defunct - instead of throwing it out they just completely disable the core and sell it as a triple) I'd imagine the price should be pretty competitive.
AMD's triplets are broken quads anyway. One of the cores is borked, so they disable it. Now you have a triple-core processor. Yay. Makes me wonder if they do the same thing for the Phenom x2's...
Go Tricore but its good bc when they come out intel's response just might be something like a q4400-series quad core... which i could afford
it enables them a top get a better yield and gives them a good price/performance range from the one chip.. it kinda takes over from the so called speed binning we had with single core.. in reality just like with speed binning.. chips will get "broken" to match demand assuming a reasonable yield.. trog
Im all for this black edition. Truth be told, its really just the Phenom FX making its debut a tad bit early with a different name. The Phenom FXs are gonna have unlocked multipliers and will be AMDs top performing chips.
Awwww! That ain't cool. I thought all Phenoms have adjustable multipliers. Oh well, guess I'll be saving up for the Black Edition

hmmm... but an you qi is quite good at acting
besides, the 04 one was really bad.... only the 05 was good
and yes, zhang liang ying is awesome

another chinese singer did a rendition of Xian Jian Wen Qing, but i thought it sounded like a cheap karaoke retake and not as good as the original or sugar's version.
to be honest, the lyrics are not that much easier to make out in the original compared to sugar's rendition.
you guys are acting so fake with the whole "honey" and "dear" stuff
its really bizzare
实力偶像 魏晨最棒
Chinese wise I would say Gary Cao Ge.
I think its harder to sound that soulful in Chinese
I think there are more Korean ones like Hwanhee from FTTS, Eru, J Lim...
it is, and it's the version that i like, apart from yours of course
the lyrics in that song are not meant to be completely understood. Like most songs, if you can make out all the lyrics first few times listening, you have a great talent
more commonly, i use DARLING!!!!!!
i don't see anything wrong with dear, darling, honey. I've even been called babe sometimes.
i still think sugar did a great job . i played the xiao ren feng version and sugar's together and there are parts that are near identical. as for lyrics being understood, there are many, many songs where i can't make out some of the lyrics. and some where i can't make out much at all, like almost everything by bob dylan and joe cocker.
...back to listening to "soulful voices".

If you were to go by the strict definition of what makes 'soul music' -- as a style of popular music developed by African Americans, combining elements of gospel music and rhythm and blues; or a fervent type of popular music developed in the late 1950s by black Americans as a secularized form of gospel music, with rhythm-and-blues influences, and distinctive for its earthy expressiveness, variously plaintive or raucous vocals, and often passionate romanticism or sensuality -- I think you'd be hard pressed to find any Asian singer or even Asian songs that could fit this category. It's not simply about a certain singer's singing technique or repertoire -- you're looking at an entire personality and identity here.
However, if you can accept the definition of 'soulful' singing as "full of or expressing deep feeling; profoundly emotional" I believe there are many Asian singers that do fit this category. You could probably judge for yourselves who these are; though I believe the best platform of judgment would be their ability to deliver ballad songs since these allow the greatest range of expression. It'd be nice to see some recommendations here of singers who can truly deliver the mood of their songs.
Sir, more than kisses, letters mingle souls,
For thus absent friends speak.
~John Donne
Good definitions SSF.
All my comments were based on "soulful" as opposed to "soul".
Sixty years ago I knew nothing; now I know nothing; education is a progressive discovery of your own ignorance. - Will Durant
I've neglected to remark that Sammi Cheng delivered a remarkably soulful performance some years ago when she covered Roy Orbison's classic "Crying" live. Orbison had a unique, powerful, and haunting voice that seemed custom-made to convey his sentimental ballads (as well as his growling rock 'n roll). It takes a singer of considerable confidence, skill, and soul to cover an Orbison tune. Sammi Cheng did it surprisingly well.

Saracens make just one change for first home game of the season against Gloucester Rugby in the Premiership
12:19pm Friday 13th September 2013 in Sport
Saracens have made just one change from the side that beat London Irish last weekend as Duncan Taylor replaces Brad Barritt ahead of this Sunday's game against Gloucester Rugby.
It was not clear why Barritt had been left out on Thursday but Sarries announced this morning that the England centre has undergone corrective surgery on ligaments in his foot, and will not play again until "towards the end of 2013."
Summer signing James Johnston is named in the squad for the first time but is among the replacements for the Men in Black's first home match of the season.
Will Fraser and Alex Goode are both still recovering from shoulder operations and are out while Charlie Hodgson (achilles), Kelly Brown (ankle) and Neil de Kock (foot) are also missing.
For Gloucester, Tavis Knoyle will make his first Premiership start since joining from the Scarlets in the summer while Fijian international flanker Akapusi Qera starts in the back row.
Sione Kalamafoni comes in for Ben Morgan at number eight but otherwise Gloucester have named much the same team that suffered a surprise defeat to Sale Sharks last weekend.
Saracens: 15 Chris Wyles, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Joel Tomkins, 12 Duncan Taylor, 11 David Strettle, 10 Owen Farrell, 9 Richard Wigglesworth, 1 Rhys Gill, 2 Jamie George, 3 Matt Stevens, 4 Steve Borthwick (capt), 5 Alistair Hargreaves, 6 Billy Vunipola, 7 Jacques Burger, 8 Ernst Joubert.
Replacements: 16 Schalk Brits, 17 Mako Vunipola, 18 James Johnston, 19 Mouritz Botha, 20 Jackson Wray, 21 Ben Spencer, 22 Nils Mordt, 23 Ben Ransom
Gloucester Rugby: Rob Cook, Charlie Sharples, Henry Trinder, Billy Twelvetrees, James Simpson-Daniel, Freddie Burns, Tavis Knoyle, Nick Wood, Darren Dawidiuk, Rupert Harden, Tom Savage (capt), Lua Lokotui, Matt Kvesic, Akapusi Qera, Sione Kalamafoni
Replacements: Koree Britton, Dan Murphy, Yann Thomas, Elliott Stooke, Ben Morgan, Dan Robson, Mike Tindall, Martyn Thomas

Open »Store Policy and FAQ
Welcome to my store! and thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoy my jewelry as much as I have enjoyed creating it. I have also added all my sewing endeavors. I will change it up from time to time, showing both sewing and jewelry.
I will try to ship all purchases within 24 hours, unless it is the weekend or I am out of town. If there is a problem with the shipping, I will contact you, as soon as possible, via email. I ship all jewelry items USPS Priority Mail for the continental USA. If something arrives damaged, you may return it for a full refund. I haven't had that problem yet, but I guess there is always a first time.
For any International orders, I will ship International First Class Mail. If I can ship it better than that with the amount alotted, then I will do that. It really depends on the weight and the country to which I would be shipping. It is not insured and not returnable. But I will package really well, so we won't have a problem.
At a later date, if you should damage a piece of jewelry that you have purchased from me, I can do some repair work, but this would be evaluated on an item by item basis. Some things you just can't fix, ie a broken stone or a crushed earring. But sometimes I can make a replacement stone or repair a broken necklace. There is a small fee for repairs or modifications , but I am very reasonable. I do not change ring sizes, other than a 1/4 size up. So, please make sure you are choosing a size that fits. I try to be very accurate when describing the jewelry and/or the size of a ring. I also try very hard to identify any stone that I have used in a setting. I cut and polish almost all the cabs myself. I want my customers to be happy with their purchase, know what it is and enjoy wearing it. A happy client is the end goal.
Sales tax: Right now, there is no sales tax added to any orders. If you are not in the state of California, I do not have to collect sales tax. If an item sells to a person within the state of California, I am obligated to collect sales tax and pay the state. However,, the price of your piece will remain the same. It will not go up because of where you live. I will back the tax out at my end and pay the state the appropriate amount.
At this time, I am set up to accept Paypal online by whatever methods they collect from buyers. I can also take Visa or Mastercard over the phone.
And lastly, be sure to check out my other website... www.jewelrybysala.com and my storefront at www.etsy.com. I use the same name at all of them.

China Africa Resources (CAR) is a Joint Venture Company
between ECE and Weatherly International that has recently
been listed on AIM.
The objective of CAR will be to carry out a full feasibility study on the Berg Aukas Project, which is expected to commence shortly after Admission and be completed by the end of 2013. The total cost of the feasibility study is expected to be US$3m over the full period and will be managed by Weatherly pursuant to the terms of the Management services agreement.
Following admission of its Shares to AIM Car will be owned ECE 65% Weatherly 25% Other shareholders 10%. (Click here for Further details on ECE and Weatherly and for details of the Relationship agreement)
Weatherly has agreed to provide management services to CAR for an interim period. This covers all the necessary office services and management for the company. The services of Rod Webster as Chief Executive Officer are provided under the terms of this agreement. (Click here for further details of the Management services agreement)
Whilst the immediate focus of the Company will be the development of the Berg Aukas mine, the Company's strategy is to build a profitable and widely based resource business that may include the acquisition of additional assets from Weatherly, ECE or third parties.
ECE is an active explorer in Namibia and other parts of the world and the expectation is that new discoveries will be vended into the Company at an appropriate time. ECE has recently obtained 18 exploration rights in Namibia, including gold, copper, iron ore, and zinc that cover an area of approximately 7,146 square kilometres.
ECE also have considerable assets in China whose development may benefit from being transferred into the Company particularly where additional capital is required to develop their full production potential.
Weatherly is an AIM listed mining, development and exploration company. Its principal assets are contained in its copper portfolio in Namibia, which include two mines in production at Otjihase and Matchless, the Tschudi Copper Project which is in pre-development stage, and an exploration licence surrounding the Tschudi Copper Project. Weatherly has JORC compliant resources containing 737,000t of copper. The company's immediate corporate strategy is to develop a copper mining business capable of sustaining 25,000 tpa of copper at average industry cost of production.
Weatherly has recently completed a bankable feasibility study for the development of the Tschudi Copper Project which, when in production, will move the company from a small to a medium sized copper producer. The project is due to commence development in 2013.
Rod Webster the CEO of Weatherly has considerable operational experience in the region and has a strong management team capable of achieving the company's goals.
ECE was established in 1955 in China and is a Jiangsu Provincial Government subordinate organisation focusing on geological and mineral exploration and development activities. Its activities have historically been principally based in China where it has several operational mines and refining operations and where it conducts extensive exploration activities. ECE has discovered more than 160 ore deposits and has developed several mines including the China Meishan iron mine, Qixia lead-zinc-silver mine and the Fujian Meishan zinc-lead mine.
In 2008, through its wholly-owned overseas subsidiary, ECE successfully acquired a 100 per cent. interest in Southwest Gold Inc (Mauritius), which makes it indirectly hold a 90% interest in the Boka Gold Mine in Yunnan Province. In 2009, as part of its strategy of overseas expansion, ECE completed the acquisition of a 24.86 per cent. stake in Arafura Resources Limited, which is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and has exploration rights for uranium and various 'rare earth' metals in Australia. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Ao-Zhong International Mineral Resources Pty Ltd, ECE owns 53.71% of Globe Metals and Mining Limited, an ASX listed company whose core project is the Kanyika niobium project in Malawi. ECE has also acquired exploration licenses and projects in Brazil and Namibia as well as reviewing opportunities in Indonesia, Cambodia, Iran, Nigeria and Mexico.
By May 2011, ECE had obtained 30 tenements outside of China, including 22 exclusive exploration licenses in Namibia covering 10,687 square kilometres prospective for copper, gold, lead and zinc. In northern Australia, ECE holds 8 exploration licenses taking up an area of 3,308 square kilometres that contains potential mineral including copper, gold and uranium.
ECE's participation in CAR and the Berg Aukas Project represents one of its major investments in Namibia. ECE has separately established a Namibian subsidiary which has been granted a number of exploration licenses for copper, base and precious metals in Namibia, which may be combined with CAR at some point in the future.
ECE has approximately 5,200 employees in China and is well established in the fields of regional geological survey, solid mineral exploration, and geophysical and geochemical prospecting. ECE owns six scientific research institutes in China, and a research & development centre in Nanjing.
In recent years, ECE has extended its business to new fields such as marine geology, the comprehensive utilisation of tails and research and development into equipment for deep exploration. It owns a post-doctoral research station in Nanjing, which is a scientific research platform in marine geology, approved by the government, which aims to meet the need of innovation-oriented enterprises or non-enterprise entities, doing research jointly with the academics.
As at 31 December 2010, Jiangsu Eastern China Non-ferrous Metals Investment Holding Co., Ltd, the immediate subsidiary to ECE had statutory capital of RMB 502,000,000 (approximately £50 million).
Immediately following Admission, HK ECE will own approximately 59 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company and will be regarded as a controlling shareholder of the Company. In addition, following Admission and completion of the Distribution in Specie, Weatherly will continue to own approximately 25 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company.
HK ECE, Weatherly and the Company have entered into the Relationship Agreement on 4 July 2011 to regulate the ongoing relationship between the Company and its two major shareholders. The Directors believe that the terms of the Relationship Agreement as described in paragraph Error! Reference source not found. of Part VII will enable the Company to carry on its business independently of HK ECE and Weatherly and ensure that all transactions and relationships between the Company, HK ECE and Weatherly are, and will be, at arm's length and on a normal commercial basis.
Mindful of Weatherly's knowledge of the Berg Aukas project and existing back-office support function for its own AIM listing, CAR entered into the Management Services Agreement with Weatherly on 4 July 2011, pursuant to which Weatherly agreed to provide certain management services to CAR for an interim period, including operation supervision, management and reporting functions and regulatory support to the Company, in consideration for a fee, as specified in the agreement. In particular, the scope of the services to be provided to the Company by Weatherly under the terms of the Management Services Agreement include, inter alia:
The Company also has the option to request that Weatherly provide services additional to those described above however, Weatherly has the right to levy a further fee for the provision of such additional services.
The services of Mr Webster as CEO will be provided under the Management Services Agreement. The Board of CAR will review performance under the Management Services Agreement on a six-monthly basis and expect to transition to a stand-alone structure as the business develops.

What are the differences between stone and tile, and which one should I choose? In my many years of working in the tile and stone industry, this is a question I have heard frequently. Most tile on the market today is glazed porcelain tile, which is a durable type of ceramic tile. Stone, on the other hand, is natural and is generally limestone, travertine, or marble. While both tile and stone have pros and cons, the answer truly lies in what you as a customer need for your home or business space.
Many people hear "porcelain tile" and immediately assume that it is fragile or delicate. In fact, porcelain tile is very different from a porcelain doll or vase. Porcelain tile is significantly more durable than other types of ceramic tile on the market. Glazed porcelain tile consists of a clay body with an overglaze. The clay body is a sturdy base for the tile, which is then covered by the overglaze. The overglaze is a glass-like coating that goes over the clay body and is fired at around 2000 degrees. Because the glass-like glaze is fired on, it does not have to be resealed and the glaze will stay for the life of the tile. The only maintenance needed is basic housekeeping—sweeping and mopping—to keep the tile clean.
Natural stone is just that—completely unaltered. Glazing is a man-made process, so a glazed stone would, by definition, no longer be natural stone. However, in order to preserve the stone, it must be protected by a sealer after installation. Each stone requires a specific sealer based on its density or texture. Limestone, travertine, and marble all consist of the same basic ingredient and therefore generally require the same sealer. Because sealer for natural stone is not fired on, it does not have the same lifetime durability as porcelain tile, so the stone must be resealed approximately every five years maintain its quality.
Glazed porcelain tile consists of two portions—the clay body and the overglaze—which means that the clay body is generally a different color than the overglaze. Though its durability means it is difficult to chip a glazed tile, a chip or crack would usually reveal a secondary color underneath. Because stone is natural, a chip or crack made in stone will show that the color goes all the way through—there is no other color or material underneath.
More and more today, tile is being made to look like natural stone, to the point where a single tile placed next to a piece of travertine could look almost identical. However, the tile is still manmade, meaning eventually the pattern will repeat. An inexpensive stone-look tile could repeat the pattern every tile. Meanwhile, a more expensive tile could have such a wide degree of variation that you may never see the pattern repeat. However, at some point with every manmade tile the pattern will repeat. With natural stone, a repeat pattern is not possible because it is completely one-of-a-kind.
The technology of creating manmade tile has advanced greatly in the last few years. Porcelain tile, which was usually only used in less expensive homes, is now being used in high-end homes. Homeowners no longer feel like they are compromising the overall look and quality when choosing porcelain tile over natural stone. Today we actually sell more porcelain tile than natural stone, whereas a few years ago we sold far more natural stone than tile.
As price goes, both tile and stone have a wide range depending on quality. Floor tile starts out much less expensive than stone, and stone will go much higher in price than tile. There is a wide middle ground where the cost of tile and stone overlap. However, stone costs far more to install. It requires a more difficult installation and must then be sealed. This means that even if you buy stone at the same price as tile, it will end up costing more.
If you want something completely natural in your home, then you will never be happy with porcelain tile. Stone is truly natural; all we have done is cut it into conveniently sized squares for installation in your home. However, if you aren't concerned with having a completely natural stone, porcelain tile has greater durability, easier maintenance, and can be far more practical. With all of the benefits of both tile and stone, it truly comes down to a decision on your part based on your budget and the needs of your home or business space.
Part 1: From the beginning of recorded history
The story of ceramics first began in Anatolia, a land which has been home to countless civilizations over the millennia; and where modern Turkey comes into being; in whose fertile soil different cultures have flourished; and which has witnessed the most important turning points in human history.
Part 2: Early uses of clay
Ceramic tile is made from similar clays found in pottery, statues and objects of art and religion. Clay objects have been found in many archeological discoveries. The earliest pottery was primarily functional in character, in the form of vessels to hold the grain and other foodstuffs, which they produced, but clay was also used to make objects of religious significance. In time people learned to control the firing process better, and so produce ceramics of finer quality.
Invention of the potter's wheel
While potters experimented with new forms, a new style of decoration consisting of the basic geometric motifs that were to be used for hundreds of years evolved. The discovery of the potter's wheel in Mesopotamia and its introduction into Anatolia around 3000 BC opened a new era in ceramics production.
Early uses of tile
The use of tiles for wall and floor coverings existed in Egypt as long ago as 4000 BC and by 900 AD decorative tiles had become widely used in Persia, Syria and Turkey. As transport and communication developed, the use and manufacture of tiles spread across Italy and Spain and exports were made into the rest of Europe by the end of the 12th century.
Modern processes
Gradually the industry developed into a modem, highly mechanized process, becoming more concentrated in the Staffordshire Potteries (England) area where the established skills and processes of the traditional potters greatly fostered the development of the present ceramic tile. Tunnel kiln firing cycles were measured in days.
The turn round time of a tile bottle oven was at least ten days. In the latter half of the 19th century the forerunners of the present tile manufacturers began to patent a number of different processes for producing ceramic tiles. By the end of the century it was said that no home, public building, hotel or institution was complete without ceramic tiles.
During World War ll many companies were closed and a very different industry emerged. The market- place in the 50′s and 60′s demanded near- perfect quality, sizing and shading.
Tile manufacturing today
A technology known as "roller hearth" now provides the latest generation of kilns. Tiles are conveyed through the kiln as a single layer on a bed of rotating rollers. Only the tiles need to be heated, there are no kiln cars and no supports. Clean natural gas enables burning to take place immediately adjacent to the ware, both above and below, with very precise temperature control. This precise control, together with powerful hydraulic presses, has made possible the manufacture of a new product: the "homogeneous" or "porcelain" fully vitrified tile. Homogeneous tile is impervious, very strong and suitable for very heavy-duty purposes. Roller hearth single layer technology necessitates much shorter firing cycles to achieve required output. One hour, or less, is now typical. Today's products are mostly mass-produced, to extremely high standards of design and quality.
Glaze is "liquid glass" that has been sprayed or poured onto the surface of the tile. Extreme heat causes the tile to be fused together and harden. Glazed tile must meet the same criteria as unglazed tiles, with two additional tests: thermal shock and crazing.
Common sizes
1″x 1″, 12″x 12″ and larger.
First quality tiles are manufactured with up to 5% visible facial defects. However, the installer is allowed 0% defects. It's important for the installer to discard the defective product or use the tile for cuts.
- Standards: Glazed tiles have ANSI standards for determining facial defects, sizing, warping, wedging, etc.
- Function: The following factors may affect the hardness, strength and wear resistance of glazed ceramic tile:
- Temperature: Higher kiln (oven) temperatures typically produce a harder glaze.
- Color: Dark colors (such as blacks or blues) are typically more prone to scratch than lighter colors.
- Gloss levels: Shiny glazes are not usually as abrasive resistant as matte finish glazes.
When specifying or installing glazed floor tile, consider these characteristics
- Slip resistance
- Wear resistance
- Maintenance requirements
- Chemical and stain resistance
Be sure to determine the function, limitations, and suitability of the product. Do not make your selection based solely on color, style or appearance.
1. Environmental variation
Color IS light. The color that you "perceive" consists of both the surface of the tile, and the reflection off the tile of its environment (lighting, furniture, large fixtures, cabinets, wall color or furniture). This is why it is so important for the customer to either see the tile in their environment or for them to understand that their tile will look different than it did in your showroom. If they paint their wall dark blue, their tile will look different. If they have incandescent or natural light, the tile will look different than under those cool blue fluorescents in your showroom.
2. Variation from shade to shade (die-lot)
This is the toughest shade variation to anticipate. This variation is the "die-lot" or "shade" variation is inherent in producing a "unique" product. The best way to handle this type of variation is to keep a range of "acceptable" shades of tile in a bin. As each new shipment is received, the new tile is compared against these "key" tiles. If it is distinctly similar, the tile goes into stock. If new colors have been added or deleted or if the tile is questionable at all – it goes to the sales manager for approval. If the difference is significant – the sales manager should have all showroom samples changed out, including all customer samples on display.
3. Variation from tile to tile
"Ceramic tile bodies and glazes are created from elements of the earth – clay, water, sand, minerals. Just as these materials vary in the natural world, the end result of their combination will also produce variations in the surface color and texture of ceramic tile. These natural color variations and markings enhance the individuality of each tile and result in a sophisticated but understated design sensibility that characterizes each tile and is designed to provide maximum performance and classic good looks."

Berkeley's second Coffee & Tea Festival leaves a buzz
The second annual Berkeley Coffee & Tea Festival took place on Saturday morning at the Hotel Shattuck and, if you attended, you're probably only now coming down from the caffeine- and sugar-induced buzz it induced.
Hundreds of people wandered the hotel's elegant ballroom and exterior patio, sampling espresso drinks and fine teas, miniature bundt cakes, chocolate bites and gelato… not a bad way to spend a lazy weekend morning, many participants agreed.
The Coffee & Tea Festival was orchestrated by the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce and included a program of talks, and both coffee and tea ceremonies. Exhibitors included Berkeley Coffee & Tea, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Café V, Twenty Twenty Studios, Madecasse Chocolate, Genuto Gelato, Jade Chocolates, Five Mountains, Café Clem, Nothing Bundt Cakes and Tisano Tea. … Continue reading »

Sizing gaps
I bought size C8/9 for my 29month old son and they were too small. I exchanged them for the next size up C10/11 and they are way too big! There is a huge gap between these two sizes and I've now had to put them away for a while so he can grow into him. I really think the sizes need to be reviewed because Crocs seem to be missing a size or two for the age group between 2 to 4 years. I like the Crocs as an easy beach shoe but it looks like he won't be able to wear them this summer.

Inconsistent sizes across the Crocs
I purchased these for my son to replace his current crocs with the same size and they were much smaller that his current crocs. My concern is the inconsistencies within the sizing making it difficult to purchase online.
Return process was seamless and customer service were great.

Great Mate
These crocs are great. My 4 yo twin grandsons love them. Unfortunately there is a big jump from a children's 8-9 to the next size. Anyway they are waiting to grow into them!!
My daughter loves them and finds them very comfortable. They are great for me as I can wash them when they get dirty and they stay looking brand new.

URGENT - Boston Bombings Russia CIA
Published 5:03 PM EDT Apr 24, 2013
(CNN) -- Months after the FBI cleared now-deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev following a request from Russia to investigate him, the Russians also approached the CIA to look into Tsarnaev's shift toward increasing Islamic extremism, a government official tells CNN. But the information provided by the Russians in November 2011 was "basically the same" information that had been given to the FBI, the government official said, adding that the communication was a "warning letter" sent to the CIA.

Washington, DC Friday, August 10, 2012
As we head into the Republican and Democratic national conventions—C-SPAN Radio airs a special program this Saturday of President Lyndon Johnson's calls about the 1964 campaign and convention.
LBJ talks about the choice of a running mate ---campaign management---and what to do about the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, a racially-mixed group determined to have its say at the convention. You'll also hear a discouraged LBJ consider dropping out of the race.
Participants in these calls include key White House aides --- United Auto Workers president Walter Reuther --- Chicago Mayor Richard Daley --- and Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey who would become the number two man on the ticket.
And we note the audio and information in this program are from the LBJ Library and Museum, at " lbjlibrary.org."

Some Guidelines for IBM batteries User:
How to choose between two batteries with different Watt hours (Whr) or milliAmpere hour (mAH)?
Higher Watt hours (Whr) or milliAmpere hour (mAH) on the same system under the same operating conditions means longer battery run time. For example, if you compare the same system, running the same applications, the Ibm battery with 75Whr would provide approximately 37% more run time than the 53Whr Ibm battery.
How to keep my Laptop battery healthy ?
IBM Laptop battery packs should ba charged for 12 hours when you first get them. Laptop batteries are completely dischardged at the time of purchase, and need a full charge before their first use.
How to deal with my laptop battery when it is not used?
Don't leave your laptop battery inactive for extended periods of time. Even if you use AC power most of time, use the battery periodically to keep it in good condition. Unplug your AC adapter when the computer is not in use to prevent overcharging.
What should I do for battery storage for a long period of time?
Don't store your IBM battery for long periods plugged into or attached to any power source, including AC adapters and laptop security carts plugged into an outlet; Charge batteries before storing. The recommended charging time should not exceed 1 hour.
How to maximize my IBM laptop battery performance?
To get maximum performance from the battery, fully optimize the notebooks power management features prior to use. The power management system conserves Ibm notebook battery power by setting the processor to run at a slower speed, dimming the screen, spinning dowm the hard drive when it's not in use and causing the machine to go into sleep mode when inactive.

Ok try to free motion quilt baby quilt and using varigated thread and it keeps fraying and break out of needle . is it the needle or thread ? only have a little more to finish and it is getting very frustrating?? Its my last spool that color bought at Joann's Help EdnaThis message has been edited. Last edited by: emb115724, " Prayer is for the soul what nourishments is for the body." | |||
The only suggestion I have is to use a topstitch needle. IF this doesn't work I'd switch threads. If life hands you scraps make quilts | ||||
A larger needle might help. | ||||
What type of thread are you using? A needle with a larger eye should help no matter what thread. Strings Friends divide our sorrows and multiply our joys. | ||||
larger eye needle should help. also what foot are you using? a darning foot with a spring on it is recommended for FMQing. fast pedal speed, slower hand movement of quilt speed. good luck. CC | ||||
Change the needle and rethread your machine. If that doesn't work, perhaps the spool itself has a problem. Check to see how it flows through the machine: with the presser foot up pull thread through the needle--it should flow easy--if not you have to do something to make the flow through the machine easy. If this is the problem and you only have a small amount to go, try winding thread from the spool onto a bobbin. Use the extra bobbin on the top like you would a spool of thread. With the presser foot up, also check to see that the bobbin thread flows easily. Sometimes poorly wound bobbins will not flow nicely and just by replacing the bobbin things will straighten out! Good luck...it is frustrating when this happens. | ||||
Have you checked to see if the thread is getting caught on the spool itself? I have had thread get caught on the slit on the spool top and then it breaks at the needle because that is where the stress is. I've flipped the spool over so the slit is on the bottom and it has worked. Also, check the throat plate and needle hole for any burrs caused from getting nicked, that could shred the thread too.

Of course, there's always a downside... If you're looking to buy steel, expect the cost to be at least double to triple the cost of standard windows and doors (and often even more). While it might not be practical to use them throughout your entire home, they might be worth the splurge for a high-impact and dramatic opening.
