Order books fully covered on first day – sources; Bookbuilding on mega-float due to stay open until May 18; Glencore offering shares at 480-580 pence each
May 5, 2011 3:20 by p.deleon
Swiss commodity trader Glencore has lined up buyers for all of the shares in its planned $11 billion mega-float only a day into the sale process, two sources close to the deal said.
Bucking a recent trend for struggling European listings, which have seen investors wait until very late in the usually two-week bookbuild to place orders, Glencore has already received demand for all the shares it its offering, including a 10 percent overallotment option, the sources told Reuters.
"We had a good response on day one, there is a lot of pent-up demand," one of the sources said on Thursday.
The sources said it was too soon to say where in the indicated 480-580 pence per share range the much-anticipated offering would be priced on May 18.
That range, announced on Wednesday, values the company at 36.5 billion pounds ($60 billion) at the mid-point, below the price some analysts have valued Glencore at.
"The books are covered on the full deal size, including the greenshoe," said one of the sources. "Given the amount of interest we have seen in the transaction, we thought we would be covered pretty early but I think it just reflects … that the price range was the right price range."
Demand for Glencore shares will also have been boosted by the fact is due to be fast-tracked into the blue-chip FTSE 100 index at the end of its first day of trading.
The London and Hong Kong listing, in which Glencore is looking to raise around $7.9 billion from new shares and $2.1 billion from existing shares, will boost its firepower for deals amid a boom in commodity prices. But it will also push it into the public eye after 37 years as a discreet private company.
Glencore's estimate of its future market capitalisation puts the company just above the mid-point of a wide $45-$73 billion value implied in its intention-to-float last month. The mid-point of analyst research was around $60 billion, though that excludes proceeds from the offering.
Before the start of bookbuilding on Wednesday, Glencore struck agreements with cornerstone investors who will collectively buy around 31 percent of the total offer, one of the largest cornerstone books to date.
The largest investor, Abu Dhabi's IPIC Aabar, which has already committed $850 million to the listing, also plans to invest an additional $150 million in the offering.
Glencore's listing, which could be London's largest ever, will make several top directors paper billionaires, with 54-year-old chief executive Ivan Glasenberg set to be worth almost $10 billion.
Citigroup, Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley are the joint global coordinators for the offer, joined by another 20 banks in lower ranking syndicate roles.
Glencore was not available for comment.

Picture: Clint Eastwood and wife LACMA's Art And Film Gala Honoring Clint Eastwood And John Baldessari at LACMA Los Angeles, California - 05.11.11
Clint Eastwood has been talking politics again, and this time he actually criticised Mitt Romney, the man he so publically backed last time he made a foray into public politics, reports The New York Daily News.
"If somebody's dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they're gonna have to take what they get," he said of Romney, whilst acknowledging that his performance last time didn't go down that well. "People loved it or hated it and that's fine," he said. "That's what it was supposed to be." We're still trying to work out exactly what that means. Eastwood wasn't all doom on gloom on his chosen presidential candidate saying that hoped Romney would "be a little more organized, a little more business-wise"
On Obama, who recently stated his admiration for the controversial 82-year old Western star, Eastwood had nice things to say. Not nice, just, things: "Well, great. Well, I think he can be very gracious when he wants to be. That's fine," Eastwood said. "And I have no problem with him at all. I just have a problem with the situation that we're in right now. It's nothing personal," he added "When he came in, I thought it was great. I thought the multiculturalism, multiracialism was great, all that kind of stuff. But to me, it's just about the work," he concluded. So, it's good to see he supports Multiracialism as long as the work gets done. Yeah?

Security on the station is run by a permanent garrison of * "The Cerberus Command" star marines equipped with second-line equipment; namely L2 "Maser" Laser Assault Rifles and C80 Combat Environment Suits from the Iron Dingoes armory. These units are built to increase in size over time, as the station's income allows them to employ more. Each is also assigned a short-range shuttle to give them the ability to board other vessels as part of customs operations. They are led by Captain Frank Castle.

Overview : The Snowden-Class Mining Station is a self-mobile, self-contained space-based mining and refining station typical of many found across the Inner Sphere, but particularly common among the numerous asteroid belts and clusters found in Taurian Concordat space. The first Snowden was placed deep within the numerous asteroid belts found along the coreward edge of the Hyades Cluster, on 10 August 2390. Though intended for civilian use, and to operate far from support for extended periods of time, its debut came when Taurian concern over the "Davion Menace" was particularly high. As a result, its design incorporated thicker armor plating and more firepower than commonly seen on a civilian platform.
The Snowden's design is visually distinctive, with its twin grav decks located one over the other along the station's long axis, giving it the look of a giant, armored bicycle and rise to the common nickname of "Biker Station". In the connecting segment beween these two grav wheels – often referred to as the station's "waist", the Snowden originally featured fighter and small craft decks for local defense, but later designers modified one of these massive launch bays to accommodate a small army of IndustrialMechs instead, to support the station's primary mining, refining, and cargo handling needs. Today, in fact, many Snowden's maintain an army of vacuum-capable IndustrialMechs, such as the Outworlds Alliance "Space Hound" ProspectorMech.
Capabilities : The Snowden mining station was designed to provide remote mining sites with refining and support facilities, plus construction and repair of DropShips and Small Craft. Such stations are typically brought to a distant site via JumpShip, particularly those without any useful facilities to assist in exploiting rich mineral resources, and serve as the central location for government and administration of new, developing mining regions.
On the "High" and "Low" sides of the Snowden's waist, are the important small craft bays, known as the "Flight Decks" (or "Green Sector"). Located opposite each other, and between the larger, flat repair yards, these two bays provide an important aspect of the station's reason for being. The "Small Hangar" is a massive, functional docking, maintenance, repair and engineering bay, air-locked with four maintenance hatches along the hull facing the outer hangar doors. Within this space, are thirty (30) Mech cubicles, intended to be used by IndustrialMechs. Located in each bay is a series of restraining rigs, power hook-ups and storage space for parts, tools and other important equipment. The "Large Hangar" is similar to the first, though rigged to contain twenty-two small craft. Traditionally the station reserves two of the bays for itself, and the remainder are typically used by independent miners using 100-ton Type-S "Seeker" Mining Shuttles. AeroFighters kept for defensive purposes are also stored in these bays.
The Snowden contains a pair of major repair facilities located on either side of its central connecting "waist" column, known as the "Repair Decks" (or "Red Sector"). One is equipped with a DropShip docking collar and is capable of allowing a ship of up to 15,000 tons (typically a Mule-Class DropShip) to be secured for repairs and maintenance, as a small unpressurized yard. Next to this docking collar lies a large repair center. Often, the docking station is used for loading and off-loading cargo and personnel, particularly refined ore. To facilitate this process, a large cargo airlock is placed within the repair center leading directly to a large lift capable of carrying 100 tons of cargo from the main cargo bays. These bays are located in the station's main hull in a ring surrounding the central power drives.
Opposite the unpressurized yard, is a dome-shaped pressurized facility with minor repair equipment capable of preforming maintenance and minor repairs to a vessel massing up to 5000 tons (such as a Union-Class or Buccaneer-Class DropShip). Because of the presence of these stations in isolated locations in the fringes of a system, the facilities are often used to repair small craft and shuttles of the local mining force, and is usually in high demand. The presence of a pressurized yard also allows station engineers to conduct delicate work without resorting to cumbersome exo-suits. The expense of employing this facility, however, restricts its use to major over-hauls, or select construction tasks for small craft, often to convert older shuttles into Seeker-Class mining shuttles.
Forming a ring around the main engine lie the main cargo decks and refinery bays. Spread over three decks within the inner hull of the Snowden's central waist, these mixed bays are known as "The Work Decks". Consisting of the Cargo Deck, the Refining Deck and the Engineering Deck, they are the site of most of the station's activity during working hours.
Between the outer docking bays and hangar bays, lies the "Cargo Deck" (or "Brown Sector"). The bays of this large warehouse and repair center constitutes a large portion of the station's waist interior. Broken into over a hundred separate storage bays with lockers, tie-downs and individually sealed bay doors, these chambers are a maze of nooks and crannies, making them a considerable hazard during boarding operations. It is common to have independent operators maintain individual bays for themselves to store spare parts, fuel and surplus ore, sometimes even maintain small quarters for themselves, when they are short of funds. The remainder of the Cargo Deck are three large rings, each capable of holding 5000 tons of cargo.
Snug against the main fusion core, is the "Refining Deck" (or "Grey Sector"). Herein, traditionally all mining material is stored, processed and refined for export from the facility, and cargo is moved from the docking areas via cargo drones along dedicated shafts. When the machinery is in operation, the sounds in the surrounding decks literally thrums with movement and sound. To keep the noise to a minimum, fuel tankage is placed as baffles, and heavy insulation can be found in places.
This section has been gutted, and its refinery equipment scrapped to provide a large series of bays to house a collection of various industrial enterprises. The inclusion of a 1000 ton BioDiesel Refinery behind the main controls, hangar bay and cargo storage bays is nearly complete, along with its Lightning Mixer, Heat Exchangers, Reaction Filter and 8 (20,000L) Polymer Storage Tanks. A small portion of this facility is also equipped to produce a small "micro-brewery" of Vodka, complete with stainless steel tanks and specialized water filtration equipment. The one side of the main bay remains an open 2500 ton slot for a future inclusion of a small factory line, while the other 2500 ton section is being rebuilt to house an advanced Hydroponics Facility, intended to supplement the station (and unit) consummables, and provide waste products for the BioDiesel Refinery.
The main core of the station, and its literal heart, is the "Engineering Deck" (or "Yellow Sector") and its dependable Majoris Frostwave, a massive fusion engine core, that provides power to both the machinery of the station, and the large grav decks. The small fusion drive that allows the Snowden the ability to move (albeit slowly) from its jump-point into position in a belt for mining purposes, also takes its power from this unit. These drives are located on the "aft" hull, but large power cables connect from Engineering Deck and its core directly into these drives.
Perhaps the most important portion of the Snowden are its two gravity decks; the "Operations Deck" occupies the smaller fore deck, and the "Crew Deck" occupies the larger aft grav deck. The "Operations Deck" (or "Black Sector") is placed within a 150m diameter grav deck located forward of the station. This deck contains the administrative centers, main mission control, life support, computers and quarters for the officers, its science and medical staff as well as its marine complement. The deck contains a number of research labs, a gymnasium with a pair of rec rooms, the canteen and kitchens. This level houses the medical bays, a compact facility capable of caring for a dozen emergency patients in need.
The "Crew Deck" (or "Blue Sector") is a massive grav deck over 250m wide, and provides housing for the bulk of the population of the station. In addition to these large banks of private staterooms, is a small number of private storage rooms filling-in oddly-shaped corners, and a central "Bazaar", or market area where a small number of shops can be rented by commercial ventures or supplying office space to smaller independents and larger companies seeking recruitment space for their corporate efforts. Central to the area is a small "Zen Garden", popular as a meeting place. A small security office and medical facility are located here, the latter providing space for two emergency cases, though they are typically moved to the main medical facility in the Operations Deck as soon as possible.
Station housing primarily consists of separate, self-contained, en-suite staterooms. These rooms are extremely functional and compact, measuring 3m by 4m and 2m in height. Common to every stateroom, is a bed with a corner desk, while the bottom of the bed acts as a fold-down storage for small personal effects. There is usually a chair (or two), an open media access terminal, voice and video communications equipment, video wall screen and a number of small storage lockers on the remaining walls. The room's polymer panels can be replaced to change a room's colors and textures. Larger rooms are possible by altering the internal walls, though this tends to be expensive. Common facilities for showers and toilets, as well as small gathering areas for meetings are shared among local housing elements.
On either end of the central waist, are two important facilities. Beneath the larger grav deck, lies the "Facility Operations Deck" (also known as the "Lower Black Sector"), which coordinates ship repairs, construction and maintenance of the Flight Decks. This large, multi-room area contains operations computers, a communications center, an operation chief's office, a facility master control room, a structural analysis center, an engineering briefing room, and a pair of external airlocks, with provision for storage of large amounts of equipment and a couple dozen C80 Combat Environment Suits.
The second area is adjacent to the smaller gravity deck, and contains the all-important docking-boom controls. Known as the "Docking Deck" (Also known as the "Upper Black Sector"), it contains the machinery needed to move and control the K/F Boom, as well as space for tools and parts storage, and the machinery required to retract the boom and move it into position for docking. The entire docking boom will retract into a storage space against the hull, protecting it when DropShips are docked, and during transit to or from its JumpShip transport. A pair of personnel airlocks are also located here, allowing direct access to the delicate docking machinery from a small preparation chamber meant to hold several exo-suits and tools.
The Snowden traditionally has a considerable array of laser weaponry for a civilian station, intended to protect itself from raids. These include four Large Lasers assembled in pairs, and mounted in the forward and rear arcs. The station also has single PPC found in each of its forward side sections, overlooking the small craft bays. Large arrays of Medium Lasers have been employed to protect the forward and aft sides of the Snowden. Small Lasers mounted in pairs round out the station's point-defense capability along all its flanks. The Snowden is further protected by 166 tons of standard armor. However due to its civilian nature its internal structure is extremely vunerable should anything get through the station's ample armor.
Deployment : Remote locations and the stations semi-modular design has allowed many Snowden-Class stations to escape the centuries of warfare relatively unscathed, though the decline in technology and difficult access to spare parts has led many to close down and be abandoned. Currently, only Taurus Majoris Metals (or TMM) – the largest mining concern in the Taurian Concordat – maintains the most operating Snowden mining stations (including the historic original Snowden). While currently unable to construct new Snowden stations, the Concordat nevertheless manufactures sufficient spare parts though it's to keep their own operational (with a handful of extras for export).
The most noted feature of the Snowden, is it being equipped with a K-F Boom. The K-F Boom allows the station to attach to JumpShips, and was created by the Taurian Concordat in 2390 to help exploit the raw resources of the growing realm. The station is thus designed to be semi-mobile, allowing it to be moved to where it is needed, rather than being dismantled and reassembled on-site. Perhaps this factor, more than any other, has allowed the valuable stations to survive to the present day.
Another unique feature of the Snowden is its relative mobility. The station's power plant is extremely efficient, with its station-keeping drive being capable of achieving up to 0.2 Gs of thrust. This allows the vessel to move from its jump-point to its destination in a belt or in orbit of a planet or moon, granting direct exploitation of the resources in the designated area.
Variants : The original version of the Snowden, known as the "Mark I", is designed to employ mining shuttles (known as the Type-S "Seeker" Mining Shuttle among mining communities) instead of using modern IndustrialMechs. The Snowden's Bay #1 was thus used to launch 15 additional Small Craft in support of a station's activites. Bay #2 has a small Craft complement of originally 20 small craft instead of modern version's 22 craft capacity. Also, Bay #2 had smaller weight capacity of 4,400 tons.
Named Stations : "Snowden" – The original namesake of the Class, was launched on August 10th, 2390 where it was deployed to the Hyades Cluster and has remained in the area ever since. The Snowden is one of the eighteen Snowden mining stations that have survived and remain active to the present day. A handful of others have been shut-down and abandoned, for lack of spare parts, or an inability to repair certain critical aspects of the valuable stations.
"The Factory", or "Mining Platform AM90125" as it was officially noted in system records, is a Snowden-Class Mining Platform originally located in the Majestic Cluster of the System – Cassandra. Attached to a standard local asteroid hulk known as AM90125, or The Rock, the facility was apparently used by Excalibur Corporation, but was listed in the documents held by Colonel Michael Ruxbondy "Paladin", as abandoned, likely surplus to their needs at one point some twenty years ago. It proved to be more than that.
The Factory proved to be a relic, abandoned for more than twenty years, but it was a relic that could be salvaged and made operable. Given to Maas Companies Inc. as war reparations, the station was sold to the Iron Dingoes for less than 10% of its true value. Taking possession, the Dingoes then conducted a survey and made it their own mobile landhold.
Presently, The Factory was declared officially operational on October 16th, 3020. Over-seeing the management of the facility, is a private company, headed by Station Master Haro Lothrain, and assisted by Master Tech Jenna Marcuro as head of Finances, and Master Tech Desna Greer as head of Operations. Captain Frank Castle has been assigned as Head of Security, by the Iron DIngoes own Starguard Marines. They have hired crew to fill-out the roster of needed techs, engineers and general labourers required to get the station fully operational, and have brought with them various shuttles and pilots from their prospecting company days t serve the station's interface needs.
To facilitate the completion of repairs in a timely manner, the unit had chosen to avoid repairs to the Ore Processing Bay, and dumped the entire ore processing line as scrap. Saving nearly a month of refit time, the money spent on this endeavor was been invested in several small facilities (a BioDiesel Refinery, and an advanced Hydroponics Facility ), and these facilities were declared complete after spending several months "at-station" in System – Dumassas. On January 1st, 3021, the facility officially opened as a recreational spot for troops, traders and mercenaries, with its The Factory – The Zócalo as the center-point of the community.
Over the following years (3021+), the facility proved extremely popular, and as wars began to rage across the planet, the Factory was instrumental in providing contacts with off-world mercenaries and handfuls of wealthy refugees a place of relative safety.
In early 3023, The Factory was jumped into high planetary orbit of Terramatrix proper, positioned to maintain orbital interdiction over the planet, as well as providing an important commercial link to the planet below…

Remembering the new New Yorkers in 1985 Baseball Cards
Late in the 1985 season, we finally a glimpse of two new cards that featured two Hall of Famers who made it a memorable year for New York baseball.For New York fans, the 1985 …season may have been the most frustrating of all. This was a time before the 'wild card' round of playoffs expanded the pool of teams that would play into October. In 1985, only four of the 26 teams made the post-season and so the regular season games meant something every day. Both the Yankees and Mets came real close to making the post-season with both teams being in contention until the final week of the season. And yes, with a minor break here and there, both New York teams could have won their division and may have met in the first subway series since 1956. The Yankees and Mets would not meet in the World Series until 2000.While 1985 was the year that might have been in New York but in the world of baseball cards, 1985 was an absolutely booming year. Don Mattingly was coming off his 1984 batting title and with Rickey Henderson constantly on base, Mattingly would win the MVP award that year.Meanwhile at Shea Stadium, 20 year-old Dwight Gooden was having a year that probably ranks among the top 10 post-World War II seasons for any pitcher. Gooden was at his absolute peak in 1985 and that season ranks right with Ron Guidry's 1978 season as the best a New York pitcher has had in the last 40 years.For all the heroics of those players already with the Yankees and Mets, in both cases a major off-season acquisition played an important role for his team. Gary Carter hit an opening day walk-off homer and was still considered (and would be for the next five seasons) the best catcher in the National League, if not in all of baseball. He was leaving Montreal for New York and with his bubbly personality was adored by Mets fans almost immediately. Plus, Carter was a baseball card collector himself and it was always good to see a fellow collector do well for himself. It's sad he's no longer with us.In the "big ball orchard in the Bronx" as Art Rust Jr. called it, Henderson was on his way to setting the Yankees' single-season stolen base record and always seemed to be in scoring position for either Mattingly or Dave Winfield to drive in from second base.Since both Carter and Henderson had come to New York in off-season trades and there were far less baseball card sets issued in 1985 than even today, we had to wait until the update and traded sets to get our first cards of Carter and Henderson in their new uniforms. While today the 1985 Topps Traded set is probably the weakest in terms of player selection, there are cards of Henderson and Carter in their new duds and both are now Hall of Famers. The Mets would grab all of the glory the next season when they beat the Red Sox in that epic seven-game World Series but it would take a lot longer for the Yankees to get back on top. Seeing Henderson and Carter in those 1985 Update sets, though, recalls a memorable season that was almost unforgettable. (MORE)

The Basics on Jordan Almonds
There are dozens of types of nuts in the world, and while many of them get lumped together, they all have their own individual name. One of the more commonly used nuts that fe…w people realize is something different is the Jordan almond. While it is a popular type of almond, many people don't know that it isn't a regular almond exactly. Below is some basic information about Jordan almonds.There are two different almonds that go under the name Jordan almond. One is the almond itself, a Jordan almond is basically the same as a standard almond, but it is slightly larger in size. The second possible meaning of Jordan almonds is a confectionery treat. These almonds are covered with a brightly colored sugar or candy coating. They are quite common to find at weddings or celebrations, and are also known as dragee.Jordan almonds, the nuts come from Spain, and are just a larger version of the regular almonds that are grown there. The candy Jordan almonds originated in the 15th century when the sugar cane was first introduced to Europeans. After that they took their popular snack of nuts and grains and started covering them with the sweetness of the sugar cane. From there people were hooked and the candies became a popular treat. Nowadays you can buy them at most stores, or specifically at wedding supply stores.Regular Jordan almonds are often used for baking or just eating. They add a nice bitter taste to counterbalance sweet treats, so they are a good addition if you like almond cookies or cakes. They also can be made into candy, such as the Jordan almond candy. The candy itself can be used as a party favor at weddings or other parties. You can also use the brightly colored treats for Easter gifts, as their colors are festive and add a nice edible element to the gift.There is a lot of symbolism associated with these candies. The bitter almond mixed with the sweet sugar coating is often used at weddings because it was believed to symbolize the bittersweet nature of love and marriage. They are popular in Greek cultures, and there is even further symbolism and superstition there. At Greek weddings, it is said to be a must that Jordan almonds only be handed out in odd numbers, generally the number five is used, because it is indivisible. They do this because they believe it represents the new husband and wife, as they should be indivisible from that day forward. There is also a superstition that if a single woman were to put a Jordan almond under her pillow at night, that she would soon find her mate and dream of him.Jordan almonds are a delicious treat and a fun addition to any event, whether they be the sugar coated kind or the plain old nuts. They have a long history and a variety of uses, but they are just one of many of the nuts out there. The above information provides insight on the history of the Jordan almond and its use in the kitchen. Now, next time you're at a wedding and you see these treats, you can be the one who knows their history and use it as a conversation started.If you want to give away Jordan almonds at your wedding, all you need is some tulle and some ribbon. Cut the tulle into small squares, and then put a few almonds at the square's center. Then pull the edges of the tulle together to make a bag shape, and tie the ribbon around it to keep the almonds inside. (MORE)

The Country of Jordan
Jordan is an Arab Kingdom that is located in the Middle East in Africa along the Eastern bank side of the River Jordan. Jordan extends into the historic Palestine region and b…orders Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, and Israel. Jordan and Israel share control of the Dead Sea. The country became an independent sovereign state in 1946 and was known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan. After the capture of Cisjordan during the 1948-1949 war, Abdullah I took on the title of King of Jordan and changed the name of the country to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. When looking at a country of Jordan map, you will notice the capital city of Amman, the River Jordan, Jabal Umm al Dami, and the Dead Sea. These are key locations in or around Jordan that people seem to be interested in the most. These locations will usually be easy to point out on any map of Jordan or map of Africa since they are popular places of interest.Amman is the largest city in Jordan and it is also the capital of the country. It is known as one of the oldest cities in the world to be continuously inhabited. As of 2010, Amman had a population of 2,842,629. The city of Amman has seen an impressive economic growth that can not be compared to any other Arab country. It is the second most popular country, only behind Dubai for major global corporations to set up their headquarters.Amman was founded in 7,000 BC. The city has an area of 650 square miles. It can be found in the northwestern part of Jordan, situated on hills. The capital city was first built on seven hills but now it spans out to cover nineteen hills. The primary locations of Amman get their names from the mountains and hills that they are situated on.Since Amman is located near the Mediterranean, it has two different climates, the Mediterranean climate and the cold semi-arid climate. The city has warm, dry summers and usually cold, wet winters.The River Jordan (or the Jordan River) is a main water source that crosses through the Jordan Rift Valley and flows into the Dead Sea. In some areas, this river reaches across a twenty-yard span and its deepest point is seventeen feet. The River Jordan begins at Mount Hermon and flows to its main source at the Kinneret before reaching the Dead Sea. It is a natural boundary between the country of Jordan and the West Bank. It is the primary water source for Lebanon, Syria, Israel, and Jordan, which causes the river to be a major source of conflict between these Arabian countries. Israel and Jordan have been able to sign treaties resolving the matters concerning the Jordan River. For the people of Israel, the water provided by the River Jordan is an absolute necessity.Jabal Umm al Dami is the highest peak in the country of Jordan. This majestic mountain stands 6,083 feet high and is located near Al Quwayrah, Ma?an, Jordan and the border of Saudi Arabia in a remote southern area of the country. The latitude and longitude for Jabal Umm al Dami is 29 degrees, 18 minutes north and 35 degrees, 26 minutes east.The Dead Sea is one of the most frequently visited locations in the country of Jordan. It is also commonly known as the Salt Sea because of its high salt content. Salt crystals accumulate on the shores of the Dead Sea, which help to create a very unusual and unique visual experience for visitors.The Dead Sea is surrounded by mountains and presents a spectacular view of the rolling hills of Jerusalem to the west. It is believed that the Dead Sea was once the home of five major cities during biblical Times, Sodom, Gomorrah, Adman, Zeboin, and Zoar.The Dead Sea has always been a place for religious tourists to gather and take in the beauty of this historical area. It is also a popular tourist location for those interested in health and wellness. The salt and minerals in the Dead Sea make the water perfect for invigorating body soaks and mud baths. King Herod the Great and Cleopatra are just two of the major historical figures who have visited the Dead Sea to bathe in its healing waters.When viewing a country of Jordan map, there are sure to be several locations that will be stand out among the rest. Amman, the capital city of Jordan is a rich cultural area that has seen an abundance of economic growth over the years. The historic River Jordan is a serene river boundary that provides water to several different countries. The Jabal Umm al Dami is the highest mountain in the country of Jordan and is over six thousand feet high and the majestic Dead Sea is a popular tourist location that has brought many visitors to the country of Jordan over the years.Arabic is the official language that is spoken in Jordan, however English is also spoken by a majority of the population.

The Jordan River in the Bible
The Jordan River is one of the world's most ancient and famous waterways. The Jordan takes its name from the Hebrew word "descender" because of the way it snakes its way from …the top of a mountain all the way down below sea level. The river runs for about 200 miles and is mentioned 175 times in the Old Testament. It played an important role in the everyday life of ancient Biblical society.The Ark of the Covenant is much more than the subject of a Hollywood movie plot. It's also a sacred Jewish artifact that has been lost to history. According to the Old Testament, the Ark was built to hold the Ten Commandments. In the Book of Joshua, the Israelites carried the Ark across the Jordan. As the Ark passed over the river, the water fled to its banks to reveal dry land. According the Bible story, the riverbed remained dry until the Ark had passed over the water.According to Christian theology, Jesus Christ was born without sin. Because his soul was completely pure, he didn't need to be reborn, or baptized, by submerging himself in water. Nevertheless, Christ demonstrated how baptism should be performed. In the New Testament, John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the Jordan River. This baptism story appears in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.According to the Old Testament, Jacob wrestled with God at the mouth of one of the Jordan's tributaries. The Bible describes Jacob as a difficult, petulant person. One night, he fell asleep near the Jabbok, which feeds into the Jordan River. He woke suddenly in the middle of the night to find a mysterious stranger in his camp. After wrestling with the stranger throughout the night and into the morning, Jacob finally surrendered after the stranger injured his hip. In the morning, the stranger revealed himself as God.In the relatively short years of his ministry, Jesus preached along the banks of the Jordan. The river served as a gathering place for many area communities. The New Testament references crowds gathering along the Jordan to hear Jesus speak. In Matthew, people from Galilee and Jerusalem assembled to hear him preach. In Mark, Jesus withdrew to the Jordan with his disciples to preach to the public.The Jordan River was a refuge for Jesus when he sought to escape his enemies. Jesus lived just 33 years and accumulated many detractors over his short lifetime. In the Book of John, Jesus narrowly escaped arrest and imprisonment. The New Testament authors point out that Jesus fled to the Jordan when he was being pursued by the Jewish authorities. In fact, he revisited the same spot where he was baptized years before.Modern Christians continue to flock to the Jordan. The river is a source of devotion and inspiration to people around the globe. Many people believe that the water itself is holy. Thousands of Christians make pilgrimages to the river each year to be baptized in its waters.Despite the Jordan's rich historical pedigree, the river is horribly polluted. According to Gidon Bromberg, who directs an Israeli ecology group, the Jordan is too polluted for baptisms to continue. Some of the river's issues include industrial waste and untreated sewage.

Jordan Almond Wedding Traditions and Calories
It may be difficult for dieters to maintain their calorie intake during the wedding season. Buffets, cakes, and extra alcohol will all add to the calorie count. Some factors, …like table favors, may have higher calories than others. Jordon almonds are a popular wedding favor for numerous reasons that have high amounts of sugar.Jordan almonds are sugar-coated almonds. They come in a variety of colors, including customized ones to match the wedding party. They come in a variation of grades including fine, extra fine, and super fine. These all detail the thinness of the candy shell, the amount of sugar, and the size of the almonds. Some weddings may have hundreds of pounds of this favor.Many different cultures serve these snacks at weddings. Italians give out five almonds per guest. Each one represents something special to the new union including health, happiness, fertility, financial stability, and longevity. Greeks also pass out five or any odd number that is indivisible; this is a direct link to how the new couple should live. Middle Eastern cultures view the almonds as an aphrodisiac and relate to fertility as well. Overall, the combination of sweetness and bitterness of the treat symbolizes both good and hard times the newlyweds will endure.One serving counts as 13 pieces. However, many guests may only eat five to seven almonds. Either way, 13 pieces have 180 calories and six grams of fat. There is only five milligrams of sodium. However, there are 32 grams of carbohydrates; one contributes to fiber but 29 are from sugar. These may vary slightly depending on the company that makes them but there is an overwhelming amount of sugar in each serving.Regular almonds do not have high amounts of sugar. 23 nuts count as one serving that have 160 calories. Almonds come in an assortment of flavors besides Jordan flavors. There are roasted ones, blanched, and slivered all in different flavors. However, raw nuts are the most nutritional to consume.Almonds elude numerous health benefits. The nuts are rich in fiber that boosts a healthy digestive tract and leaves eaters feeling full. This helps people from overeating and, in turn, gaining weight. The riboflavin and L-carnitine found in almonds helps brain activity and, according to Ayurveda, will help decrease the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Almonds are also rich in Vitamin E that will help reduce heart disease according to Tufts University. Further, the Loma Linda School of Public Health claims people who eat almonds five times a week will reduce their risk of having a heart attack by 50 percent. They are also good for blood cholesterol levels in decreasing bad cholesterol and increasing good cholesterol.Eating Jordan almonds may have people doing an extra workout to account for the calorie intake. However, the positive benefits of almonds make them a healthy snack despite the high calories. Obviously the sugar in Jordan almonds makes them much less healthier than regular, raw ones. Dieters do not necessarily have to eat the almonds, even though they are a traditional snack at weddings.People can make Jordan almonds at home by melting fondant and adding food colorings. They should drop almonds in one at a time, remove them in the same manner, and let them cool before consuming. (MORE)

What a nice set of reviews. I have to confess I am now tempted to try First Frost, having told myself I would never read it, when I first heard that someone had taken over from the superb R D Wingfield and his hilarious but sad creation, Inspector Frost.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Great in coffee!
Posted by Reviewer1379284 on Jan 14, 2012
This sweetener is just sweet enough and very caramel-y. I love it in my coffee with a little cream. Dissolves easily. Not good in tea, though! Blech! I don't feel a sugar rush like I do with regular sugar. Haven't cooked with it yet, so can't say how it works that way.
Nice Sugar!

A healthier alternative to the white refined sugar. Tastes great!

Coconut Palm Sugar
Posted by Reviewer1728517 on Jan 17, 2012
I bought 6 1lbs. bags of this Sweet Tree Palm Sugar and already have 2 used up. I made 2 batches of an awesome cashew brittle, the sugar worked perfectly mixed with Agave instead of corn syrup. Really earthy caramel taste to the sugar. I use it each morning in my hot Soy milk drink with a touch of cocoa powder. Really great stuff this palm sugar.
Good alternative

Hey all,
I'm a student at San Jose State University, and I have a project that involves bike commuting, and I was wondering if some of you guys and gals could chime in their thoughts on commuting with some sort of pedal assist?
There are tons of option out there yet I rarely see anyone using them.
What are your reasons for not using them?
Or if you do use them what was the greatest factor in getting one?
Thanks all,
Bryan D.

In The Days of Mohammed, one aim of the author has been to bring out the fact that it is possible to begin the heaven-life on earth. It is hoped that a few helpful thoughts as to the means of attaining this life may be exemplified in the career of the various characters depicted.

Several men entered the tent, all swarthy, lithe and sinewy, with the scowling faces and even, white teeth characteristic of the typical Arab. They gesticulated constantly as they talked; but Yusuf, though thoroughly familiar with the Arabic language, paid little attention to the conversation, giving himself up to what seemed to him, after his adventures, perfect rest.
Presently the chief's wife entered. She was unveiled, and her features were distinctly Hebrew; for Lois, wife of the Bedouin Musa, had been born a Jewess. She was dressed in a flowing robe of black confined by a crimson girdle. Strings of coins and of blue opaque beads hung upon her breast and were wound about her ankles, and she wore a black head-dress also profusely decorated with beads and bangles of silver.

Radisson Blu Hotel
Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 3, Berlin, Germany, 10178
- Recommended for:
- Couples, Culture vultures, Families with teenagers, Families with younger children, Nightlife, Romance
Expert review of Radisson Blu Hotel
The Radisson Blu is probably best known for its famed aquarium. While I'd recommend you consider a visit for this innovative and fun feature, its presence shouldn't detract from the hotel's appeal as a comfortable, well-located accommodation option.
The hotel sits literally on the banks of the River Spree in the central Mitte district, on the other side of the water from the Berlin Cathedral.
The 427 rooms are generally spacious, modern and uncluttered. Some have balconies and all offer views of the river, the city or the hotel's giant aquarium. They all come with mod cons such as TVs, phones, desks etc.
Check availability and compare prices for Radisson Blu Hotel
Design in the public areas nods towards the futuristic, with sleek, sophisticated lines. The 25-metre Aqua Dom in the hotel lobby is home to more than 1,500 tropical fish. Riding the internal lift, which goes through the cylindrical aquarium (but does not belong to the hotel), is a highlight. If this gets you in the mood for even more sea creatures, the adjacent SeaLife Berlin offers Radisson Blu guests discounted admission.
Modern International fusion restaurant HEat serves a breakfast buffet, as well as a la carte lunch and dinner. The restaurant has an exhibition kitchen where you can watch the diligent chefs at work, and serves a great selection of beers and an excellent crème brulee. In warm weather you can dine out on the gorgeous terrace. The lounge bar offers a good selection of snacks and drinks, but feels somewhat crowded given its location underneath the AquaDom and in the middle of the main foyer.
The wellness centre has a well-equipped fitness centre, small swimming pool, Finnish and bio saunas, aromatherapy and steam room. Holistic and beauty services are also offered.
Cool, sometimes to the point of aloofness.
Check availability and compare prices for Radisson Blu Hotel
Business travellers and families: children will like the aquarium.
The best rates can be found on the hotel website: www.radissonblu.com/hotel-berlin, such as an advance purchase rate (28 days prior to arrival). Business Class Rooms and Suites include breakfast, daily newspaper, a Nespresso machine for free coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Breakfast costs 25 EUR per Person. Parking (24-hours) is 18 EUR.

Video: Douglas Dickerson arrested in fatal hit-and-run case
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Police have made an arrest in a fatal hit-and-run case.
According to police, Douglas Lane Dickerson, 18, of Little Rock, has been arrested in the death of 15-year-old Masen Faver, who was struck from behind by a car in late May and later died of his injuries at the Arkansas Children's Hospital.
Police said they found Dickerson at home with his vehicle, preparing to make repairs to some damage on his car.
"I guess I thought I would feel differently," Favers aunt, Lisa Faver, told THV 11. "I thought it would be like a 'hooray' type of thing, but it was just an 'OK, what do you do now?'"
Faver said the news that authorities arrested Dickerson in connection with the hit-and-run death of her nephew did not bring the sense of closure she had hoped for.
"I thought when I found out the news I would have a sense of relief or a sense of closure, but I don't have that feeling," said Faver, who also feels bad for Dickerson and his family. "I just worry that whatever happens isn't going to bring Masen back, and I just want the justice system to work for him and know that whatever price he has to pay isn't going to ruin his life... I just don't feel like ruining someone else's life is going to help Masen."
Dickerson turned himself into authorities on Monday and has been charged with one count of leaving the scene of an accident and one count of tampering with evidence. Both are class D felonies.
Investigators still want to know more about Dickerson's activities in the hours and days leading up to the accident. If you have any information please contact the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department at (501) 340-6600.

Nice work. Seems like the file isn't ready for download just yet, I'll download it as soon as I can.
A remote RDZ Industries industro-military research and development facility has gone dark... Its factories are on overdrive, producing AI-controlled drone units that have destroyed everything in the facility. Take control of the brand new, highly experimental All-Purpose Assault Mech as you are sent to investigate the stricken facility -- get in, regain control of the base systems, and find out what the hell happened.
More weapons. More missions. More drones. Your company still needs you, Captain.
Posted by RaoDaoZao on Oct 20th, 2013
This has been too long in the making. A broad raft of updates have been made -- from mundane bug fixes and balance tweaks to gameplay-shattering new weapons and equipment, R02 is a patch of monolithic proportions. Some of those changes are spoilers, so let's not go into detail: suffice to say, Facility EY43 now has a few more surprises in store for you.
For those that missed the first release, RDZ Industries: Project Y4 is a singleplayer sci-fi action-adventure constructed solely by my fair hands. Take control of the company's new experimental All-Purpose Assault Mech as it is sent to investigate a stricken research facility -- change swords, shields, guns and more to suit your preferred play style as you battle through hordes of hostile drones in your mission. The objective is simple: regain control of the facility, find out what happened... and punish the perpetrators.
What are you waiting for? Download it now!
Not convinced? Have a gander at these promotional materials. Everything you see here is in-game -- no trickery, no fakery; just Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne running Project Y4.
The company needs you, Captain. Only the AP-AM prototype has the capability to fulfil this dangerous mission, and only you know how to drive it. You will be briefed during insertion.
And once you've saved the facility, you can check out the 1-to-4-player deathmatch spin-off Arena Y4! Hop into the production-ready version of the AP-AM, the Epsilon, and face off against other contenders to ensure the prototype has been finished properly... And prove your superiority as a mech pilot.
Nice work. Seems like the file isn't ready for download just yet, I'll download it as soon as I can.
The perils of having to wait for things to get authorised -- there's no synchronisation!
Whew, it's working now! Get in there!
Aye, aye.

You guys are forgetting the best rap group of all time. Outkast. It's either this for Chi-Town.
T. I, B.O. B, young jeezy. Cee lo green, rosco dash, usher, keri hilson, you name it, we GOT IT.
Looking at other peoples lists of Atlanta rappers I can respect It but come on soulja boy? You're really gonna brag about having him?
Atlanta sucks. It took the dark Memphis underground gangsta joints into lame club pop music.
Atlanta is hot right now. Puts out big names consistently. Names with staying power. Atl is winning this rap thing
Atlanta is the rap/hip hop capital of the world... Houston is the fattest city in th world... I think ATL has better rappers. Or atleast thinner ones.
Everybody should already know this ATL have all the best RAPPER
atlanta is where 75% of the rappers came from houston is where maybe 5% came from - diddyk
ATL is witout a doubt # 1... and new orleans # 2... please
Atlanta hands down and their still getting money
Kanye was born in atlanta and T.i is one of the best rappers of all time
ATL produces the most main stream rappers
Atlanta is killing the rap game
ATL Hoe!... But foreal though, NYC and LA should be #1 & #2 ONLY because of population, but their time is up. The Hottest people are in the south and the world knows it!... And Atlanta is the capitol! (or is it "capital")... Yall get the point!... And whoever put Detroit and Houston up there like that must have been on that "girl".
Atlanta has the most rappers of any of the cities.
Way more famous rappers
People Sleep On the City Errbody Listen To Somebody From Atlanta. Ask anybody who they listen to from Atlanta they will tell you at least 5 rappers.
Atlanta has the most good/famous rappers
Killer Mike, Akon, B.O. B, T.I., Big Boi, Youn Jeezy, Waka Flaka, Yeezy was born here! We got Trinidad James, Soulja Boy, Travis Porter, Outkast, Andre 3000, Future, Roscoe Dash, Prynce Cyhi, Cee Lo Green, Kriss Kross, Gucci Mane, Kriss Kross, Lecrae, Lil Jon, Ludacris, Gambino, Even Kanye Was born here!
Kanye was born in atlanta
Having houston and detroit above atl is a joke.
Souija boy and a whole lot of other rappers on this list stink Ciara isn't even a rapper wake up
Ciara u are doing really good singing I bet good keep it up
Yall girly ATL fools don't no real gangsta. ATL is too much of a pretty name to be feared. Yall black bueissness sellout movie actors in crap.
Andre, Big Boi, T.I., and Luda have been at the top of the rap scene for a while. Usher and Cee Lo are killing the music industry (even though they're not technically rappers), the ladies (Ciara, Keri, Janelle, and of course Toni), and the best thing is the up and comers like Future, B.O.B., and 2 Chainz.
Hell, if Soulja Boy wasn't on Atlanta's list they'd probably be number 1

Sony's PlayStation 4 allows any owner to stream, record and share game footage with or without a subscription to Sony's PlayStation Plus service. That stands in stark contrast to Microsoft's admission yesterday that the aforementioned features (and some other functionality) won't work on its Xbox One without a subscription to Xbox Live Gold.
SCE Worldwide Studios head and extremely active Twitter user Shuhei Yoshida answered as much when asked by fans directly if Sony's upcoming next-gen game console would require a PS Plus membership for recording and streaming gameplay, as well as watching streaming content (such as Hulu or Netflix). He flatly stated "no" when asked about the Plus requirement, and elaborated that all users will have that functionality. That's a reflection of the current state of PlayStation Plus on PS3 and PS Vita, neither of which require PS Plus membership for media streaming or online play. Most online multiplayer on PS4 will require a Plus membership, unlike the Vita and PS3. In any case, though Yoshida's answers are short, we appreciate the black and white messaging -- something Sony's rival could be doing a much better job of at the moment.

I get to paint my darkroom tomorrow. I spent today finishing the dry wall mudding (texture). I tried to make it look like adobe walls. Then we will need to put the base board molding on. It is gonna be cedar fencing material as that is the cheapest thing I can buy that will work. This will help keep the dust from the outside from coming in. (I hope) I have an aircleaner that I hope can keep up. We may hang the darkroom door this weekend also. We may tile the front room (finishing area and office). The floors are gonna be tile (that is what is there now) and mopped to a farethewell then waxed and waxed and then those nice rubber matts on the exposed areas will be used around the sinks and the enlarger areas.
We missed the April 1, dead line by a great deal.

Brookfield Academy's Summer Days Program is far from being a summer day care.
With more than 200 classes and 500 students each summer, Brookfield Academy provides an entertaining and educational summer for the area's children.
Classes range from traditional courses like math and reading to more unique opportunities like Hip Hop, Creative Writing and Film Studies.
About 40 percent of summer program students come from other schools in the region, said Julie D'Arruda, Brookfield Academy's summer program director.
"We have a very good retention rate (for summer students)," D'Arruda said. "Many of them enroll for the school the next year."
Seventy-five percent of the summer school teachers are from Brookfield Academy. The remaining 25 percent are certified teachers hired outside the school for the summer, D'Arruda said.
The programs are designed for students of all grade levels, from age 4 to age 18.
Many of the academy's programs can be used for high school and college credit, D'Arruda said.
Programs are offered through two-week and one-week classes, Monday through Friday, at the academy's Patriots Hall, 3215 North Brookfield Road.
Most of the courses cost around $180.
"We're not an inexpensive program, but we're also not just a day care," D'Arruda said. "But the kids take a lot from these classes."
Riya Singh, 9, took multiple classes over the summer, including The Joy of Jewelry Making and Lego Robotics.
"Most of my friends are in classes too, but we're not always in the same class," Singh said. "But I always have lunch with them."
The Lego Robotics course precedes the FIRST Lego League, a STEM program during the school year.
Each day, Riya and her partner built a different Lego robot in an hour. The creations are computer programmed using software designed to train a "brain" component that performs certain tasks.
"I didn't know you could program Legos like this," said 8-year-old Peyton Zeiler, who also attended the Lego class. "I think it's great. I just love Legos."
Brookfield Academy's summer courses ended July 25, but it won't be long until the school plans for next year's classes, D'Arruda said.

Crypts of Avaritia is a combination of randomly generated dungeons together with a first person view with gameplay similar to Heretic/Hexen combined with Dungeon Hack, Ultima Underworld, Dungeon Master, Might & Magic, Daggerfall, Arena and other games in the same genre. The gameplay will not force the player into melee combat as many other RPGs do, instead choice will be given to approach any problem the way the player seem fit, just like in Deus Ex. As such there are many non-combat skills for the player to upgrade. There are strong survival-mechanisms coupled to the gameplay, such as the player need to sleep, eat and drink water. You can also break bones, bleed and get poisoned.
I first look of what to expect when it comes to the menus. Also some added things gameplay wise.
Posted by r3jonwah85 on Nov 20th, 2013
Hello everybody,
I have mainly worked on the menus the last couple of days and starting to get it to a place I would like function wise. Graphically it still looks like crap but that can and will be changed later on :)
The most notable things would be in picture 3, here you see some of the parameters the player can set before starting a new game.
I have also done some some small tweaks to the gameplay, for example you can climb ladders with only one hand equipped, not both (compared to climbing walls where you need both hands free).
Other new stuff is highlighting of items when the player is close, starting to build the game manager to put everything together, generation of weapons (a bit over 1000 unique weapons, and some added variation stats wise on those as well), potion effects and passive effects from equipment etc., and other small stuff that I do not remember now. Will keep on working on item randomization tomorrow, will keep you guys updated!
