China needs to buy gold in long term-industry
Buy Gold
Article by cnmining
China has the scope to step up gold purchases but should take a long-term approach, avoiding the open market, a Chinese industry official said on Thursday.
"China needs to buy gold over a longer term, but not in the open market," said Zhang Bingnan, a senior official from the China Gold Association, told Reuters on the sidelines of a gold conference, stressing that this was strictly his personal view.
China said in April its official gold holdings had risen to 1,054 tonnes from 600 tonnes in 2003, by buying on the domestic market and from domestic producers.
China's gold holdings make up just a small portion of its foreign exchange reserves worth .27 trillion, the world's largest and mostly held in U.S. Treasury bonds.
Speculation has been rife that China may follow India in buying from the International Monetary Fund in a bid to diversify its official reserves portfolio as the dollar continues to weaken.
"If we adopt a too aggressive and rash manner, it is not practical," Zhang told the conference, reiterating this was strictly his personal view and not representative of the views of the association.
Over the past two decades, central banks have been net sellers of gold, but the turnaround in attitude will likely make them net buyers of gold next year, analysts have said.
Expectations of rising public sector buying, together with the perceived prolonged weakness of the dollar and renewed jitters about financial systems in light of Dubai's debt crisis have put gold in a fresh spotlight as an asset class.
"Clearly, central banks made decisions after looking at alternatives. Their decision (to buy gold) reflects that the risk with gold is acceptable," an industry official, who declined to be named, told Reuters on the sidelines of the conference.
Participants said gold should not be looked as a safe-haven, as bullion is a financial product. But its detachment from any form of counterparty risks makes it shine in times of recurring financial crisis stemming from credit risks.
Gold is a safe asset in that there is "no violation of contract," Zhang said. "Gold is the only non-credit product in the financial market," he said, adding that the latest Dubai debt crisis was also a credit crisis, very similar to the subprime mortgage problems and the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
A trend that emerged two years ago and strengthening now is that more people are willing to include gold in their portfolio and once they buy, they will want to hold, said Albert Cheng, managing director, Far East, at the World Gold Coucil.
"Gold is not something that will make you rich overnight. But it will help you sleep well," he told Reuters on the sidelines of the conference. People's desire to hold gold reflects bullion's role as a means to preserve wealth, he said.
With gold underpinned by such investor confidence, few expect prices to retreat anytime soon.
"I am long on gold, but sold some calls to raise cash," said William Purpura, an independent gold trader and an official at the asset management firm Great Lakes. With the market renewing a series of new record highs this week, he said he advanced sell stops to ,191.60 on Thursday from ,163.00 per ounce.
The price levels are likely to slow supplies of recycled gold in the fourth quarter and dampen jewellery demand, the WGC's Cheng said.
A WGC report last month showed that supplies to the market from recycled gold rose 31 percent to 283 tonnes in the third quarter, but that was down from 314 tonnes in the second quarter and also a drop from 569 tonnes in the first quarter of 2009.
Cheng said those who had bought at much lower price levels may have let out their holdings and have little inventories now, or people expecting prices to rise are hoarding on their supplies.
He expected jewellery demand to also come down in the fourth quarter, although Christmas demand needs to be watched closely.
Gold prices rallied to fresh record highs above ,225 an ounce on Thursday as the dollar slid towards a 16-month low against the euro.

Buy Gold? No! - Use a Gold Guide
Buy Gold
Article by Robert Brady
Sometime in the course of every World of Warcraft player's gaming career, he will find himself short of gold. Often, that shortage happens at the exact time a spam whisper comes through, offering the purchase of gold for low, low prices. When you are trying to save up for your flying mount or simply can't afford raid repair bills anymore, these gold buying sites and offers may seem very attractive. However, there is an alternative. Finding a quality gold guide rather than purchasing gold is a much better option for several reasons.
First, and most obviously, buying gold is against the terms of use of the game. Those caught purchasing gold will have their accounts closed permanently, with no refunds offered. A gold guide, however, is perfectly acceptable, as it teaches the player the best methods for acquiring gold in a legitimate fashion.
Secondly, buying gold supports the actions of gold farmers. These people are paid to take stolen accounts and play them for hours per day, farming gold to later sell. As long as people buy gold, these farmers will continue to steal the accounts of honest players. When you use a gold guide, though, you are taking actions that only affect your own account, and do not benefit from the suffering of others.
Lastly, gold selling companies are notoriously unscrupulous. The sites are often loaded with keyloggers, which will give these farmers access to steal your account. On top of that, if these companies would not hesitate to break the clearly-established rules of the game, is it such a leap for them to move on to stealing credit card numbers as well? Using a gold guide rather than buying gold not only protects your hard work on your toons, but your bank account as well!
A quality gold guide will teach you all you need to know to acquire more gold than you could ever need. Unlike buying gold, all of the methods you will be taught are perfectly within the rules of the game. Protect yourself, your money and your account and choose a gold guide instead of a gold purchase.For More Details Visit: wowguide.ws

Comments on Rome: Total War Gold Edition
Acoma @ 11:56 pm
Excellent price for a great game,
Not only do you get the full game but also the expansion pack for a reasonable price. The replay value of both titles alone definately justifies the expense. I cannot recommend this game enough. Even after almost 2 years on the market I can still pick it up every couple months and march my Legions to conquest.
Below are my comments for each game.
ORIGINAL ROME: TOTAL WAR
This is the game I’ve always wanted to play. It has such a superb blend of strategy and real time action. Ever play a turn based strategy game and want to really watch your troops battle it out and control the formations and tactics? Now you can. Of course there will be something people don’t like, but there are many mods out there to tweak it to your exact taste. The Total War community is healthy in that there is a significant population tweaking and modding the game to your particular flavor.
Let me just say also I am not a RTS fan. I do not like “whomever clicks the fastest wins” games. Each single soldier is represented on the battlefield. It’s truly amazing watching your Legions march across arid deserts, snow covered mountains to engage the enemy and clash together right in front of your eyes. Each battle is like a scene out of Braveheart or, more appropriately, Gladiator.
No other game can capture the scope of an immense battle like Rome: Total War can. Especially the battles consisting of many units, it’s like an epic battle from your favorite movie.
It is not purely the battles, it has a strategy element in it to where you will manage cities, build structures and conduct diplomacy.
Overall, even if you are not a fan of Strategy or RTS games you will find this to your liking. There is so many good things about this game, it would fill many pages writing about all the pluses and things the developers did right here. A definate must have for any gamer.
BARBARIAN INVASION
The Total War community has given a lot of feedback to the developers on the improvements they would like to see. I’d say pretty much all of the biggies were addressed and added in Barbarian Invasion. Rome: Total War is hands down one of my all-time favorites and a game I can still pickup and play again and again.
There is a lot of upgraded features you would expect from an expansion…little better graphics, upgraded units and increased functionality. The upgrades to the AI are the most noticeable, in my opinion.
The Total War community waited over a year for this to be released and it is readily apparent the developers spent this time to deliver an outstanding expansion. The price tag is definately worth it as well. The time period for the expansion is set in the declining years of the Roman Empire so basically you are getting a whole new game with this expansion.
The new game element rearranges the map to take into account what has happened historically in the last three hundred years. The Roman Empire is split between west and east and all the old factions from Rome:Total War have been assimilated into the Roman Empire. An interesting historical note when the game begins for the Eastern Roman Empire is the Faction Leader Valens. His defeat against the Goths was considered a milestone in the decline of the Roman Empire (for both halves). Not only was his army defeated, but the Emperor Valens was also killed. Oh and the Goths will come for you…Oh yes, they will come.
The Parthians have been surplanted by the Sassanid Empire in the east, but essentially all the old factions have become roman provinces. Basically, it’s the barbarian factions battling it out for the choice pieces of real estate.
The new expansion is noticeably harder depending on which faction you play. The Western Roman Empire is by far the most difficult which took a great deal of time to beat. Why is it so difficult? Barbarian factions with a few exceptions don’t die when you take their last city – they become a Horde. This is challenging in that you can’t just move through and conquer cities to annihilate the Huns, Vandals, Sarmatians,etc. You need to not only conquer all their cities but kill every single family member in order to wipe the faction from the map or they will just keep spawning as new Hordes. You must fight them out in the open which pits you against their horse archers. As you play you will find different strategies on dealing with them, but needless to say it’s very fun and challenging. My personal method is the very liberal use of assassins and fortifying cities while I pick apart their horde until I get their family members eliminated.
Bottomline – 5 out of 5 and highly recommended no matter what game genre you typically lean towards. You won’t regret it.

Strategic combat at its best,
While I am personally more fond of Rome’s predecessor, Medieval: Total War, the latest in the Total War series is nothing short of excellent. Much has been improved on, especially the real-time combat and gameplay mechanics. The meek AI, underdeveloped naval combat, and drab visuals that marred Medieval have been done away with for the latest installation.
One of the greatest strengths of the series has always been its ability to capture the truly epic feel of worldwide warfare, regardless of whether you are looking over the whole of Europe or watching rank-and-file armies advancing upon each other. This is especially true with the new 3D combat engine, which is vastly superior to Medieval’s. The units are all fully modeled and animated, and the camera is much more maneuverable, allowing you to get up close. This isn’t very handy from a command standpoint, but it really makes the battles come alive. Battles in cities and forts are also much more fun, since they are more balanced and take place in full-sized replicas of the cities you see on the world map, down to the individual buildings you or your opponent have constructed.
The mechanics of the strategy portion of the game are different. Instead of treating each provence as a whole entity, with units being able to move between them once per turn, units move relative to the physical distance they must cross on the map, with cities being the points of interest you must find. While this adds more strategy and realism to the game (since it will obviously take longer for an army to cross an African desert than the Italian peninsula), this makes the game move much more slowly and, I feel, detracts from the excitement and fun. Fortunately, the game compensates for this and does not require conquering the entire map to win; under the new rules of the game it would take a very, very long time.
The expasion, while not lacking in content, is slightly on the boring side. I believe my opinion may be slightly tainted since I am not as fond of the play styles inherent in choosing tribal factions which compose virtually all the playable ones in Barbarian Invasion. Still, after playing several full games of Rome, I found that the expansion did not offer enough new material to hold my interest for very long. Besides, there is plenty of fun to be had without the expansion, due to the wider range of factions and units.
Fans of the series will not be disappointed, which seems to be a rarity these days. Newcomers should be prepared for a challenge, but the game does a good job of breaking people in and letting them enjoy the game from start to finish.

More addicting than Civ or Pirates,
I’m not what would be called an intensive gamer. I buy maybe 2 games a year. This is the most addictive game I’ve played since the original Pirates came out for the Commodore 64 home computer. I would play that game for literally 6 hours or more at one sitting. This is just as bad. I’m 37 now and not 14 like I was then too, but I’m having flashbacks LOL! It helps that I’m absolutely fascinated with the late republic/early imperial period of the Roman empire. I’ve played the historical campaign of the original through twice. Haven’t even touched Barbarian Invasion yet, except to watch the intro. Has the “4X” feel of a Civilization style game, but without all the micromanagement. New buildings provide benefits to population control, revenue, and combat units. Pretty basic. Where the game shines is in the tactical battles. You can literally zoom in on an individual soldier.
My only criticisms are that there aren’t enough historical battles in my opinion, and that when creating a custom battle you can’t choose the “rebel” faction. Also in the custom battles, the various Roman factions don’t have access to all Roman units. I wanted to create a “Spartacus” style battle. I couldn’t use “rebels”, so I choose two Roman factions. Each Roman faction has access to one style of Gladiator, not all three. I wanted to make an army of the gladiator types, but I couldn’t.
If you are interested in the historical background of the era covered in the game you might like Rome – The Complete First Season and Warfare in the Classical World: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Weapons, Warriors and Warfare in the Ancient Civilisations of Greece and Rome

I am an electrical engineer. Silver use in electronics is exploding. It is by far the lowest resistance metal which means SPEED. Everyone wants speed in their product. Like it or not we will be driving electric cars. After many attempts with other metals silver is still the only safe and viable metal in car batteries (along with other metals). There is now less silver than gold above and below ground. What happens when the world runs out of a metal just when it becomes vital to mankind?
Heidelager @ 1:43 pm
The Third Reich produced millions of 90% silver bullion coins. Each Nazi 5 Reichsmark coin weighed 13.88 g and contained exactly 12.5 g of fine silver. Almost half an ounze of silver in each coin. These coins are still readily available today! And besides their inherant value as silver bullion, they are also genuine Third Reich collectables thus adding to their value!
