Hello! Here are a few tips on making your visit to the Festival as green as possible. Think zero waste. Don't leave your tent - pack it up and take it home. Please remember this is a farm and we need to get the cows back grazing in the field as soon as we can! The less clean up there is for the litter pickers, the quicker normal life can resume for the cows.
Top Ten Green Tips
1. If you're going to bring wipes, please bring bio-degegradable ones.
2. Pack realistically-don't bring anything you're not going to be able to take home.
3. Use the bin bags that you are given when you come through the gate - the green one for recyclable materials and the black bag for non-recyclables.
4. Don't leave your tent behind.
5. In fact, don't leave anything behind!
6. Recycle your waste on site.
7. Re-use your water bottle/cup.
8. Take all your tent pegs home with you.
9. Butt it and bin it- use the cigarette butt bins
10. Vsit the Green Fields, eat in the wholesome cafés and learn some green living skills.
And, above all, have a great time!

Hampton thwarted by Unaka
After a slow offensive start, Unaka's bats hit a second gear. By the time Hampton caught up, it was a little too late.
The Lady Rangers combined for 10 of its 12 hits between innings four and six, accounting for seven runs in a 7-1 road decision over the Lady Bulldogs.
"It seems like we have a slow warm-up process and then we come around," said Unaka coach Carrie Stevens. "Our bats have not been doing well the past few games. I think we've scored 10 runs total until today, so I was happy to see that. Our big sticks still aren't doing what I want them to do, but we're getting first, second, third batters on, they're just not bringing them around for us right now.
"I'm hoping the more we play, the more our bats will come alive. We've been working on it real hard in practice. Errors in the field have come down quite a bit. Overall, I was pleased with today."
Kassie Winters was 2-for-3 on the day with a triple, double, three RBI and two runs scored to lead Unaka at the plate, while Autumn Bradshaw, Madison Weaver, Brandi Ensor and Caitlyn Buckles tallied 2-for-4 outings.
Leslie Colbaugh pitched the win, striking out four without a walk, while Mollie Crabtree was credited with the loss for Hampton.
Three scoreless innings were resolved by the top of the fourth as the Lady Rangers got on board.
Winters walked and Weaver singled to place two aboard for Ensor, who delivered an RBI double. Buckles followed suit with an RBI single for a 2-0 lead.
Unaka found similar results in the fifth after a single from Bradshaw. Winters delivered an RBI double and stole third for Jessie Matheson, who placed a bunt between two defenders for the fourth run of the game.
The Lady Ranger lead increased to seven with a three-inning sixth.
Ensor and Buckles led off with consecutive singles. Bradshaw brought the first run across with an RBI single to set up Winters, who launched a two-run triple to the fence.
Hampton, which had three baserunners to that point, got its bats going in the bottom of the sixth. Danielle Guinn and Crabtree singled for freshman Kayla Stoneman, who delivered an RBI double.
The Lady Bulldogs added two-out hits from Taylor Berry and Carmin Calderon in the seventh, but were unable to squeeze a run across the plate producing the final tally.
"Right now the younger players are hitting better than the older ones," said Hampton coach Bill Doss. "These older girls have to step up and lead. We're not wanting to play until the seventh inning of the game and that's too late. We've got to get there. We're getting there, but we've got to step up and start playing sooner.
Offensively, for Hampton, Crabtree's two-hit game led the squad. Unaka's Lynsey Buckles and Hampton's Jessica Sloan tallied the game's other hits.
The Lady Rangers return to action today at Elizabethton.

I'm in your boat, Fraggle. The 40s do add a new element, don't they? :)
For those of us dealing with children, that also means we have to really structure our time differently. Good for you for making your health a priority!
Hey Jeannie, great reason and very motivational. I am so excited to hear that you have had success on the program - not that i am doubting it one bit, but excited to read another testimony. This is my first time on BFL and today is the end of my first week - today is "Free" day. I've decided to have only a free meal and not freak-out if I nibble a little more then usual.
Jeannie, when you did BFL last time, did you do a free day or did you modify it?
Welcome back! Can't wait to celebrate with you!!! FOXY Lady!
Go, Becca, Go! Tri Tri Again! www.tinyurl.com/rebecca2013
Wow what a great group we have now.
It's definitely harder with little ones. They are back in school here tomorrow so I figure I have to get up anyway ( oh and also work lol) but its quite motivating to think I'm gonna get up and have some me time before dragging the sleepy ones out of bed.
Lol my run is more walk fast walk jog run and sprint, but I try and make the walking bit last longer. Running is hard! How do people run miles?
Free day yesterday and ate loads.
Anyone here thinking of posting pics yet or are you going to wait till you have after shots too? Will any of you be posting at all?
What spurs you ladies on? What are your goals? My main one is I have a cupboard full of clothes that don't fit me.
Off now to do lower body, had no time this morning. Do you prefer the weights or the cardio?
today was my free day ..was out last night so @ 12:30 had a toasted bagel and smoked salmon..some of my husband's rice pudding. The frest of today was weird..I felt very unstructured....didn't go crazy...just had a bit of cereal and milk here and there...not wanting to commit too much being off/ but not on either...then I had frozen yogurt...and will have regular dinner. I kinda can't wait for tmw to get back to program. One thing I have trouble planning is the last mini meal..any suggestions out there? I can see having a carb..but what protein?..and I don't want to just rely on the protein supplements for then ( I feel like it's heavy at that hour)
I did go a little nuts on my free days at first, but found myself feeling a little sick after having gotten used to eating right. By the end, I didn't go crazy, but I would make my free day the day I planned to go out with friends, or go to a party. I would also let my free day be a moving target. Truthfully, the reason (I think) that the program is so successful is because you aren't ever depriving yourself of foods you love or of having the social experience of eating out-you just wait till your free day. I am not going to go for 3 months without a slice of cake or a few glasses of red wine, but I will go for 6 days without either without giving it another thought. :) We are hosting a huge party here in 2 weeks on a Friday, and while my free day is typically Saturday, I'll move it to Friday for that week.
I started 12/31 and my first week was great! I am so sore and it feels so good! Today was my first free day. I didn't binge or anything, i hate breakfast and dinner pancakes. That is my weakness! I am ready to start week 2!
I found Bill's new Transformation program and he suggests doing the 5-25 workouts. What do you guys think about that vs his original way?
Glad to be part of the group!!!
Good morning foxy ladies! Day 1 for me and I am more motivated than I have been in a very long time. Love the Fabulous Foxy 40s - hate the Frumpy 40s. I just turned 43 and let myself get way out of shape - FRUMPY. I was a collegiate athlete and continued fitness with a passion well into my 30s with marathons, triathlons, and plenty of time spent at the gym. A persistent knee injury (I need a joint replacement now after 6 surgeries) derailed me from my racing. Instead of just switching gears and figuring out what would work for me, I sunk into a self-destructive depression and gave up on me. Constant knee pain kept me out of the gym and it was a spiraling downward cycle. Pain, no working out, feeling bad about myself, weight gain, extra weight causes more pain in the joints...round and round we go. So - 2013 is MY YEAR to stop this vicious cycle and get that fit, fine and fabulous body that most 40 years olds only dream about :-) ~Sharon
1st day...so far so good
Day 1 is almost in the bag :-) Pictures, weight and measurements taken, I got in a killer UBWO, ate my first 4 meals 100% clean - I still have 2 more planned and ready to go, managed to get in 72oz of water, and tracked everything in my Success Journal. How we doing out there Ladies????
Hi Ladies!
Glad to be a part of the group! It will be so nice to have support and give support!
Today is day 8 for me. I found that I was hungry between meals today. I had to keep myself occupied and chew gum, which i am trying to avoid. I did drink plenty of water which also helped.
I did a great kick butt LBW the 5-25 way! I loved it! Anyone else doing the 5-25 workouts?
Hello Ladies! End of day 6 for me...so far so good. I have been familiar with BFL for some time now, I got into it in the early 2000's when the book came out. I never did a challenge, but I always followed the workouts and the eating. Looking back, it really kept me in pretty decent shape for the most part, considering my social life :-) I was never in ripped shape, but I kept myself from gaining weight and in pretty decent shape. Well, the last 4 years, I kind of lost it all. I didn't follow the eating at all, and got out of working out on a regular basis. So fast forward 30 lbs later and no energy, I've decided to go full force. I bought the Eating for life and the Success Journal, and the Champions for Life...yeah, and the Body for Life for Woman and of course I had the original book! HAHA! I'm determined to keep myself focused. I Took the month before the new year and prepared. I not only ate and drank anything I wanted ;-) I planned out my first month of meals, got all my journals ready and really most importantly mentally prepared to commit to this challenge and finish it.
So here is to all you ladies out there and staying focused! Mind over matter! With the mental strength, we can accomplish anything!
Hi everyone, I'm excited to have a forum just for us ladies...today is my 3rd day wishing us a successful 2013 BFL.
Hi, I'm not familiar with the 5-25 workouts, can you tell me what they are? Thx
I don't understand the 5-25 workouts either.
Not feeling it today, am so tired and legs are so sore can hardly walk up my stairs, they are steep, but still....
Also ( sorry any fellas reading) but am craving sugar due to pmt. still feel 100 per cent better than would normally though.
Thanks for the inspiration. I read the other day that sore is the new sexy.... Well if that's the case, I must be an absolute beauty !

So Classy!
Damask Dream Pocket Invitations The invites were exactly what I was looking for. I think the vertical pocket is a little different in a good way vs. the traditional pocket. The design matches my theme perfectly. So classy. I love them!
Love these invitations!
Damask Dream Pocket Invitations I am so impressed with my wedding invitations. They were very reasonably priced, and I loved how easy it was to customize them. I did mine in the traditional black and white damask with a light pink accent. The only thing I wish was different is the response card. They are "postcards" but since I was so worried they would get lost in the mail I just switched them to normal response cards (by erasing the address on the back) and ordered envelopes from Amazon. Otherwise, everything was perfect. And they were delivered in no time. I would definitely recommend them, as well as Magnetstreet in general.
great invite
Damask Dream Pocket Invitations The pockets are cute and practical, and I love the damask print. I made them in our colors, royal blue and silver. The quality was excellent for the price!
Damask Dream Pocket Invitations Our wedding colors were black, white and silver so I changed the color pattern. They turned out BEAUTIFUL!!! I received so many compliments on them!! They were everything I had hoped for!!
Perfect invitation!
Damask Dream Pocket Invitations We loved our invitations! They were our colors, but so elegant and not over the top. The quality of paper was perfect, and we ordered them on a Thursday and received them the following Friday. Everything was so easy and fast, just make sure you check and recheck spelling and grammar. We didn't have any problems, but once you submit it that's it. But the way they have it set up is super easy to follow. Long story short, we would strongly reccommend this company for your wedding. As a bride, I was nervous, but no need to be with magnet street!

Part 5: Dialing In Our Brute's Rear Suspension
By now, most of you have probably noticed how our Teal-J project has been reborn into a trick AEV Brute Pickup. Fortunately for those of you who are saving up, the folks at AEV still offer the Brute conversion directly via www.brute-conversion.com or through well-known mail-order catalog Quadratec. We could go on and on about how the Brute Pickup conversion makes any plain-Jane TJ extraordinary, but this time our subject is suspension. It just so happens the guys from DC Customs of Ukiah, California, know a thing or two about setting up suspensions. And after they performed our Brute conversion, we asked if they could help fine-tune Teal's underpinnings for real-world moderate-speed trail use. The shop's owner, Dustin Chernoh, agreed to take on the project. Dustin convinced us that a larger tire would help flatten out bumps as well as make the rig look more grown-up. We agreed with his logic and concluded that a larger tire would also address a couple of Brute-specific shortcomings.
For instance, on 37-inch tires a steep break-over or sheer drop-off required some very tactful driving to avoid snags. Don't get us wrong, climbing steep ledges that might have normally made us think twice are now a cakewalk in the longer configuration. All in all, we've deduced that a slightly larger tire would in fact restore Teal to the point-and-shoot machine she once was (prior to this story, Teal rode on 37x13.50-17s). However, installing larger tires is not a simple bolt-on affair. Usually, larger meats mean more stress to drivetrain components, not to mention the stereotypical noise and ride harshness associated with aggressive treads. Bigger tires almost always require more lift and, at the very least, stronger steering and braking components. Luckily for us, Teal Brute already has 1-ton axles and a hydro-assist steering system to relieve a lot of steering stress. So basically all we needed was a little elevation change, new gears, and a suitable tire. Like many of our readers, we wanted a tire with good street manners, yet we also require durability for rocky trails. The wheels we wanted to run were 17s, so our tire choices got even slimmer. In the end, we went with the proven Goodyear MT/R in a 40-inch variant. Read along as we highlight what was necessary to stuff 40s under Teal, while at the same time improving suspension performance for higher-speed maneuvers.

632 S Coast Highway 101, Encinitas, CA | Directions 9202433.044115 -117.293780
Neighborhoods: Encinitas
Honeyâ??s Bakery and Bistro – Honey's Bistro & Bakery on South Coast Hwy 101 Encinitas is a local favorite that will take you back to your grandma's kitchen. Jaime Osuna runs this family owned business with the help of his daughter Diana and his son Jaime who work there daily! Jaime states, "My kids have watched how everything works here after 15 years of business so it is natural that they work here since they are so experienced!" While speaking with Jaime I learned that he is also the owner of all three Swami's in Encinitas, Oceanside and La Mesa. I was wondering why the Honey's Acai Bowl was allowed to say 'Swami's Style'. Jaime went on to explain why the cafe was called Honey's. He stated, "Everything we make here has honey in it including our homemade granola and muffins."
Honey's Bistro & Bakery most popular items are the Acai Bowls 'Swami's Style' and the specials. The Acai Bowl is made with their homemade granola at the bottom followed by the Acai mixture and blueberries, raspberries, boysenberries, local fresh bee pollen, coconut and of course the honey on top! The most popular special is the California Scrambler, which is made with asparagus, spinach, avocado, tomato, red onion, mushrooms, zucchini, red peppers and Swiss cheese. Two other specials are the Green Omelets and the Lobster Eggs Benedict. Other popular items are the homemade omelets and their homemade bread. Jaime explains, "We make everything from scratch!"
Honey's Bistro & Bakery supports the local community by giving local artists to show and sell their work on the walls. The current artist is a Eva Zamora who has many beautiful beach photographs displayed. Jaime states, "We support a ton of non-profits. Pretty much anyone who walks in and needs support, we give it. Our most recent sponsorship was the Encinitas Soccer League." When I asked Jaime what his favorite part was about owning Honey's Bistro and Swami's he said, "Every week I get to see my customers. Some have been coming weekly for the 15 years we have been in business!" Take some time to grab a famous Swami's Style Acai Bowl, a yummy omelete or Jaime's favorite homemade Corned Beef Hash from Honey's Bistro & Bakery on South Coast Highway 101 Encinitas.

Loved the Coffee – I love supporting independent cafe's & restaurants vs typical franchise restaurants & places like this one make it super easy to do that. The coffee selection was great, the potato bread excellent & my omellette delicious. It is a great spot to people watch. Luckily the wife & I went during the week & didn't have a problem finding a table but I can easily see how it can be busy on the weekends. A gem of a place in a great seaside town. I wish I could keep it a secret but it just wouldn't be fair to the world.
Being on coast highway in Encinitas is like dying and going to restaurant heaven – Go here for breakfast, I've never tried anything that wasn't well above my expectations. They have rows of different kinds of fresh coffee and multiple kinds of tea. They also have delicious bakery items, all fresh baked. I recommend getting an omelet with avocado, bacon, and cheese with sour dough toast, or the eggs benedict with their fresh hollandaise sauce!
Locals' favorite offers fresh-baked breads and pastries plus a bountiful menu of healthy and decadent breakfast and lunch dishes. – In Short
Famous for its baked potato bread, European-style donuts, and low-fat fruit muffins, this casual breakfast and lunch spot near the beach offers cozy indoor seating and an outdoor patio for primo people watching. Breakfast includes a selection of more than 20 custom-brewed coffees plus numerous scrambles, omelettes, pancakes and waffles. Lunch choices range from gourmet sandwiches and burgers to quesadillas, soups, and salads including many dishes suitable for vegetarians and those on low-cal diets.

Galesburg's success in attracting green and socially responsible companies to the Sustainable Business Center drew attention last week at the 24th Annual Rural Community Economic Development Conference in Peoria. Attendees from around the state turned-out to learn about the innovative companies at the two year-old incubator and the progressive model developed to help them grow.
Eric Dilts and Ryan Lilly of the City of Galesburg's economic development department delivered the presentation in two concurrent sessions. "We were impressed by how well our sessions were attended and humbled by the congratulatory feedback we received. Most encouraging, however, is that other economic developers want to replicate this model in some form elsewhere," said Dilts.
Lilly agreed saying, "This was about more than sharing a success story. This was an opportunity to engage with other economic development professionals in meaningful dialogue about the future of startups -- including those that are socially-responsible -- in our rural communities."
The conference, hosted by the Illinois Institute of Rural Affairs (IIRA), aims in part to showcase novel approaches to community and economic development. "We certainly felt this was a stand-out project that conference attendees would be interested in learning about," said Dr. Chis Merrett, IIRA Director. "At least one conference attendee remarked that it was the best session they attended that day."

Top 10 Summer Job Scam Tip-Offs!
The end of the school year is here and -- whether they're from high school or college -- there's a lot of new graduates looking for jobs. Unfortunately, these job seekers can be vulnerable to bogus job offers.
Students are in a unique position where they may not have a lot of work experience, but they feel the pressure of upcoming bills to get a job quickly. Consequently, applying for a job that requires no work experience but offers a high salary often sounds very enticing. But the reality is these job offers are closer to pyramid schemes rather than legitimate work opportunities. Beware of ads that claim "summer job, make $300 a day!" or "last year our employees made $10,000 over the summer."
Here are 10 tip-offs that the "employment opportunity" could be a scam:
1. Big bucks for simple tasks. Watch out if they promise to pay you a lot of money for jobs that don't seem to require much effort or skill. If it sounds too good to be true, it might be a scam.
2. Job offers out of nowhere from strangers. If they offer you a job without getting an application from you first, meeting you, or doing an interview, it's probably a scam. Don't hand your personal employment information to these people (especially your Social Security Number!). That could lead to identity theft.
3. Requests for up-front payments. If someone wants you to make an advance payment to "get in" on the ground floor of a new business opportunity - especially if it's a big investment, or you don't have much information about the deal - this is a big red flag. Don't do it. "Advance fee scams" are very common and they come in many varieties.
4. They ask you to wire the money. If you wire a payment to somebody, it's gone forever. Wire transfers of money are a convenient and perfectly legitimate service. But scam artists often ask you to wire payments that they are requesting (especially to destinations in other countries!) because they know you won't be able to get your money back.
5. High pressure to do it now. Don't be in a hurry to accept an unsolicited offer of work, or to make a business investment, particularly if the other party is asking you to spend your money on the deal. Take your time. If somebody tries to convince you that this is a "limited time" offer and you have to act now, just tell them to forget it. Ignore anybody who pushes you to agree. High pressure is a big sign that something's wrong.
6. Refusal to give you full details in writing. Ask for complete information in writing. Request proof of any claims. Look carefully at any documentation they might provide to make sure it answers all your questions. If they won't give details, or don't respond to questions, don't do business with them.
7. References are missing or a bit suspicious. A real business should be able to give you many professional references – not just a few. Be sure to ask for references and check them yourself. Don't be swayed by a few written testimonials that sound fabulous. Even if the references seem good, don't make your decision based on references alone. Do a careful background check. For starters: try a web search on the company name and see what comes up.
8. Contact information is missing or doesn't make sense. Be very cautious if a company is trying to get you to accept a job or do business, but seems to lack any established physical location with a real street address. A cell phone number and website address are not enough contact information. If there's no street address, look out! (P.O. boxes are not comforting – scammers often rent them, and move on quickly.) If there is an address, it's worth taking a moment to check it on the Internet. It's common for phony operations to claim they are at an address that is not their true location. Use online tools like Google Street View, which shows photos of address locations.
9. They want you to buy a bunch of expensive stuff. If they expect you to make a major purchase of equipment, software, inventory, or information in order to get started in business, be very careful. Often these are the most persuasive kinds of scams. It seems like it might be a real business opportunity – but it's not. Here's what happens: the buyer makes the purchase and never receives the things needed to set up the business. You can avoid this situation! Check the business out completely before you send a dime.
10. It's got a bad rating with the BBB! Victims do complain to the BBB about work at home scams. It only takes minutes to check a company's record with us at www.wisconsin.bbb.org. Or call the BBB at 414-847-6000 if you want help figuring out whether you are looking at a scam. It could save you a fortune. If you've been victimized, file a complaint with the BBB!

I've got the "shakes" just from reading this. It broke late Sunday Night...SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) -- Surinam's only Pan American Games medalist, 800-meter champion Letitia Vriesde, was stripped of her gold Sunday after testing positive for excessive caffeine.
Vriesde, 38, the defending champion who also ran at the 2000 Olympics, was her country's first Pan Ams champion when she won at Winnipeg. She's also won silver and bronze medals at the world championships.
It was the first failed doping test at the games.
Pan American Sports Organization president Mario Vasquez Rana said the amount of caffeine in her system was equivalent to "five gallons of coffee," and that Vriesde admitted her guilt.

Some facts about my status.

More personally:
Seasons greetings Jon and others. It is very interesting why the US is so tolerant of the Kapla situation. Imagine a US citizen being refused exit for example in Iran or Iraq.Is the International arbitration case still active and why has the signatory ,Sarah Armstrong disappeared off the radar.
The Standard Bank have done their dough but the SGS case is much more complicated.
Hi dulleyefarmer,
Its a busy time of year for us farmers cutting hay etc. along with the other jobs. l am very interested in your upcoming story Jon. Speaking of ex pats in trouble in Mongolia l would like to open the case of the former Vice Consul of the British Embassy who "died" under mysterious circumstances whilst on holiday aged 44.There are some very serious rumours as to his demise. Peter O Brien was deputy to Chris Osborne who is married to Rio executive Emma Pinnell. Osborne retired to Australia late 2007 but Emma continued working in Mongolia.
Congratulations on the article and raising this forgotten matter. There are still legitimate Mongolian concerns that can get lost in family reunion talk. The transfer of licenses, the payment of 6 million dollars to Monnis, the botched sale, and the International Arbitration case are still unresolved.
The Peter O'Brien matter happened sometime between 2007-8 good luck in trying to find any information.
Second Christmas Without Families For Executives In Mongolia http://onforb.es/1dCtSHv
Dulleyefarmers latest conspiracy theory regarding Peter O'Brien (above) and his inaccurate portrayal of the former British Ambassador and his wife are just plain disgusting.
You always are quick to label everything that l raise as a conspiracy theory. Peter let me state was also a friend of mine who l spent a lot of time with socially. He helped us a lot and as you say and l agree totally he was a good man .l am very aware of his situation.
When l returned to Mongolia in October 2009 l enquired at the Embassy about my friend to be told that he had died and that he was on 3 weeks holiday and no one found him.On November 19 l spoke with a former ASIO operative who is involved in a commercial venture in Mongolia, he raised the matter not me and claimed to have seen the file which paints a very different picture. l am happy to eloborate in private but not in this forum.l resent you suggesting that l am sluring my friend, l don't see how you can twist this when l am trying to find the truth .There is a file and if you have access to it or have connections l suggest you read it.
Chris Osborne was in fine health when l saw him heading off to Shanghai for his DIMI interview he was hospitalised with a respiratory complaint as a precaution in the winter of 2007 when the British taxpayers paid $70,000 to fly him to Hong Kong in a medical jet.This is approximately half of the British aid budget for Mongolia. Emma told me they met in Angola while working there. The British Embassy has a lot of direct connections to UKTI and the Mining Industry. Once again your exagerating is distorting the reality.Your claim that Emma only stayed on a few weeks is also wrong if you search you can see World Bank documents showing her active role in Rio Mongolia in 2009. It doesn't really matter it only shows that your information is often incorrect.
More (correct) facts:
It sounds like you should be able to severely embarrass me with multiple examples."
The trouble with making arrogant boasts is that they may come back to bite you.l am still waiting for my reply regarding the evidence l sent you in private. You seem remarkably quiet. l stand by all of my previous claims. The only information that l didn't know was the exact date of the death, thank you again for telling me as it never came up in any searches. If l was your employer l would review your position on these issues you are clearly asleep at the wheel. Can't wait for your reply and apology.
For what it's worth, I should have two interviews with people from Mongolia in the next month.
I believe it is inevitable. Mongolia will experience an enormous influx of hot money into a tiny exchange as the worldwide liquidity cycle has been picking up. As Mongolia's policymakers are inexperienced and the market is wide open, euphoria will once again return to Mongolia. When worldwide liquidity contracts and the hot money leaves, it will have a devastating effect on Mongolia's economy.
New exit ban article on Marketwatch/WSJ
ah... here it is
Different discussion topic I'm curious for thoughts on.
agree. why take it from Kahn, who owned it, and sell to Russia? Sounds highly irregular and smacks or very illegal but nobody seemed to care.
You would think that Mongolia would like to clarify the negative impressions they give if they wish for increased FDI or undo prior wrongs just on moral purposes. This is obviously a naive hope.
Oyu Tolgoi goes to Harvard: http://bit.ly/1ecAJb5
Battushig Batbold, the son of Mongolian Prime Minister Sukhbaatar Batbold, "princeling", early 20's and working for major investment firm, interesting. He was a co-author of an "Abstract"(?) article.
Enkhbayaar's son married a woman from Goldman Sachs , these children aren't "princelings" but spoiled brats used as pawns to try and gain influence by foreign companies. What about the head of MAK group buying the seat of the the former General Secretary of the MPP Khurelsukh for $500,000 and giving it to his son Nomtoibayar.
Enebish the man who sold out his own country as head of Tavan Tolgoi has been enjoying his retirement in Australia along with several other dodgy Mongolians. his son in law works in the Mongolian Embassy Canberra.
Two things that interest me off the Cover Mongolia wire today.
Hi Jeff,
Mongolian Stock Exchange interview: http://onforb.es/1gy9AkB
Concur on the above comment. I visited the MSE 18 months ago and was impressed at the integration that they have completed with the London Stock Exchange.
The market is treating Mongolian stocks like radioactive material at the moment but it's not because of any faults with the exchange itself. Mongolia's infrastructure is quite strong compared to some of the other frontier market exchanges I've visited. They're listed on Bloomberg now - both individual stocks and the MSE-20 index - which is more than I can say for many other frontier markets.
Here's a good article by long-time Mongolian resident Terrence Edwards on Enkhbayar getting back into politics: http://bit.ly/1mAcLwl
Looks like the Elbegdorj magnanimous gesture to pardon Enkhbayar could prove to be a rookie political mistake as well a a financial blunder for Mongolia.
Enkhbayar, rattling his sword, will slow down the OYU TOLGOI phase 2 project and show the GOM as weak.
Growing foreign investment support has been undermined.
sorry I meant Elbegdorj to jump in and do something.
I *think* Khan's UN case is due to have a settlement hearing in March. Not sure about the status of the Canadian case. Will check in with colleagues.
Okay. To correct myself after talking to a colleague a few hours back.
2) The settlement hear at the UN tribunal in Paris should be in March or April. They have won the case but is yet to be determined what the compensation number will be.
3) Also, will be interesting how long Mongolia is given to pay Khan as Mongolia does not have a few hundred million dollars on hand to make a full pay off.
Perfectly put "sweet spot".
The GOM was too influenced by some faction that killed foreign investment last year.
They need to get it back on track, but not turbo charge it out of control.
A well run sovereign wealth fund could control the surge and make it more business friendly. Others have done it well----Norway, Saudi Arabia, Singapore (Temasek-a holder of TRQ stock).
Here are words from Filipino billionaire Enrique Razon on Nigeria at Davos:
I was just posted a link to his Bloomberg article before coming here. What a guy. http://bloom.bg/1avPdX1
So does governance lead FDI, or does FDI lead governance?
Good point. This is the problem. The new investment law means nothing until it is demonstrated by the OT phase 2 settlement, the Kahn Resources settlement, the 106 licenses resolved,-----all of which must include that the hoped for increase in FI will be used by all of Mongolians to be distributed by the new emphasis on "SMART government.
The SMART concept is ----if implemented well and sincerely---the foundation of a great policy.
New attempt to spark debate here:
Touched on this topic a bit for my next Mongolia interview/article which I'm guessing is going to be published next week.
- I wrote in November 2012 that it seemed like the banking plumbing was in bad shape and there might be a bank collapse in 2013 (Savings Bank's "bail out" or buyout by the government was as close as we came)
- I've heard from some of the people I was talking to in late 2012 think things are "better" though all the banks are not quite out of the woods
- my 2 most knowledgeable sources on this have been quiet, if they want to get in touch upon seeing this, they know how to find me... but one of them was very worried about a large bank imploding while the other (back in 2012) said Savings Bank collapsing would be insignificant (and wasn't a "major bank")
In regards to the health of Mongolian banks: http://reut.rs/1dJIeEf
Golomt is one of the banks more heavily enmeshed in loans to mining companies. Mining has sucked the last couple of years because of the anti-foreigner laws (mostly now kaboshed) and the declining natural resource prices. Thus, not great times for Golomt.
More bad news about Golomt: http://bloom.bg/1n9i7fz
This article is about Mongolia, the banking system, and big time investors (Credit Suisse, sovereign wealth fund) wanting to get out of Mongolia, even with Mongolia's resources underground..............
as the exec from Standard Chartered and Credit Suisse and sovereign wealth fund have been burned,
...every company needs to look at their business and assess where they could get burned ....by an employee, by a bank, by zoning laws or changing laws... what other risks are out there?

Well, Golomt says it has no problems to repay Credit Suisse and Abu Dhabi http://bit.ly/LBRVOG
Interesting article with the Golomt CEO.
Asked & answered on an old article about Mongolia Growth Group.
Mr. Springer,
What's your take on MNGGF since last year? Have you talked to Mr. Kupperman since this article. Its amazing the stock is down 66% while real estate values are supposedly going up in Mongolia. How can the stock not participate in the widely reported double digit GDP growth? Are investors missing something; volume is at an all time high so presumably those who would know best (the placement investors) are exiting at a loss for some reason.
Answer from me:
Hi bazooooka,
Pretty much, most stocks listed outside of Mongolia have moved in concert with the price movements of TRQ. The government made very bad laws for foreign investors in 2012 that discouraged investment just as natural resource prices declined in earnest. FDI for Mongolia has plummeted the last two years, going down about 48% last year (2013) alone. My guess is real estate is flat to down depending on location. I believe MNGGF is well positioned for an uptick in the market as it has focused on commercial space that will benefit from an upswing in the economy.
Honestly, if Mongolia starts getting FDI again and natural resource prices begin to rise and Mongolia figures out how to sell its natural resources at a fair price to China or someone else... then MNGGF will be a good investment as it is built to leverage a natural resource boom in Mongolia. On the other hand, if those things don't happen, it doesn't matter what the valuation is.
I've spoke with Mr. Kupperman as recently as December 2013 (two months ago) and he remains very positive and optimistic.
In truth, there were a number of things I anticipated would happen in spring of 2013 that would push the stock price up, none of which happened. For example, myself and some colleagues had anticipated an investment from Mongolia Blue Wolf Holdings which was a blank check company that had the conditions to invest around $60 million in one company doing business in Mongolia with clean books as a minority shareholder by April 2013. The only company that really qualified was Mongolia Growth Group, however it turned out that the regulations of the New York Stock Exchange where Mongolia Blue Wolf Holdings was listed would not let them invest in any companies in Mongolia because Mongolia did not meet some regulatory standards (PBOAC). In essence, I anticipated something that couldn't happen because the "very smart" guys at Mongolia Blue Wolf Holdings did not do their homework in advance on these regulations which wound proving the speculation of myself and colleagues to be a waste of time.
I also thought the government would fix the things that scared off foreigners faster than they did and resolve issues with Rio Tinto & Turquoise Hill faster than they have (as they have not yet).
Maybe these types of situations, highlighting a growing sovereign risk, that may get worse before it gets better, is perversely good for my position (long TRQ / EGI, foolishly thinking it cant get any worse for these positions) and that it gives RIO a stronger position to deal from in its operations within the country. Of course assuming that RIO has shareholders, my best interest in mind. Ha !!
Hi KingFox,
A terrific expose by Keith Harmon Snow, whose opinions get quoted on this board on occasion as an authority on Mongolia:
One has to hope Keith gets paid by the word. As with his earlier work, a tall glass of whiskey on the rocks is recommended as accompaniment to the reading. As I have said on Twitter, I think the story that has been missed is that the $100,000 and acclaim Mr. Munkhbayar won with the Goldman Prize was negative for him as it radicalized and emboldened him. Most locals suggest he became progressively more isolated in the years since the prize as his actions became more radical.
If he was paid by the truthful word he would be a pauper.

Query received by e-mail from a reader:
I'll just say this...
Maybe some women might take an interest in these kinds of blog topics by now, who knows.
I think the above comment nails it. For all its rhetoric about wanting to renew FDI inflows, the GoM's knee-jerk reaction to the South Gobi incident, and its heavy-handed brinkmanship with Rio, produced self-inflicted wounds that will endure for a long time. Sideshows like Golomt and the Chris Bradley case only reinforce the market's negative outlook.
Mongolia's two (larger/more powerful) neighbors will always force it to be the low-cost provider of resources. The best strategic move that the country can make right now is to strike a deal with China, Russia (maybe even DPRK?) to confirm long-term, low-cost rail access to a port, which will at least allow them to retain some pricing power.
Some action is underway to improve Mongolia's rail access to other Asian countries and the closest seaports. It looks like it is in everyone's best interest that this be the case so there should be a good chance that this will actually happen.
Of course Pathfinder is correct, but practicalities and politics will mitigate against third country rail access as a short-medium term option:
North Korea fascination hasn't made sense to me for these and other reasons. Mind you, going through China to get to a port in North Korea is still more reasonable than going via Russia. People like to complain about having to change the rail gauge at the China border but they totally glaze over the fact that they have to change to Russian train cars at the Russian border which are not always available. With Russia trying to export its own natural resources, why are the Russians going to let the Mongolians easily use their rail and port system?
I think that is a good question, Jon.
Perhaps someone at the WTO will know now that both Russia and China are members of that organization.

The long awaited interview of Mogi from Cover Mongolia by yours truly: http://onforb.es/1muvpbJ
Have we looked at the chart of the Monglian Tugrik over 10 years lately? Here it is: http://bit.ly/SQ8TXu
1) currency losses mitigate stock market and other investment gains
2) is it time to buy the Tugrik while its cheap or is it going lower?
US$ could benefit from any number of foreign financial crisis and timing Tugrik purchases is a pure parlor game. Continuing to average-in would be more appealing for a long term holder.
Owning BDSec on the MSE would have more potential; I have no idea about the various brokers.
Jon, I hope you benefit as much from writing this blog as much as we readers enjoy it. The blog must motivate you to pursue things that you'd otherwise set aside.
Thanks RbarPNW.
For those interested in speculating on a junior copper miner...
- this is in Mongolia
- copper prices are struggling
- China, the end buyer for the copper if/when found is currently struggling
- the Mongolian economy is struggling and the Tugrik is hitting new all time lows daily at the moment (just broke an historic trading band to do that last week)
- they are still in exploration phase and haven't found what they think is there; and they have been trying
This strikes me as another sign that the vast mineral wealth of Mongolia will be developed over the course of a life time. Rather than speculate on the potential mining winners, there must be a way to invest in industries that will benefit from Mongolia's robust continued economic growth. How might one find a way to leverage such a boom? Invest in the MSE? taxi cab medallions?

The MAF portfolio includes; 4 million square meters of land for mixed use developments, 11 hotels and resorts, 16 major shopping malls including the iconic "Mall of the Emirates" with its famous indoor ski slope and a subsidiary in the property funds management business. While at MAF, Mr. Byrne led the organizational expansion plan to develop 10 retail malls, 8 hotels / resorts
and 6 major mixed-use developments, across several of the company's operating regions, most of them emerging
some interesting reading with respect to mining throughout the world and in Mongolia

renegotiate a 30 year deal less than two years after signing it.

and is stuck with a system where investors do not know what they will end up owning at the end of the day—government needs a clear policy and several years of consistent non-corrupt operation of it to attract more investment.

Hi DG,
In case you all have missed the fun, the Daily Mail (of the UK) posted an article last night that RIO is going to buy out TRQ for $8. I'm doubtful, but that bumped shares up after hours, and people also noted strange activity in the options.

Natural resource prices not looking good for Mongolia
I got to wondering about that, too. The gold and uranium prices are not up where they were, either.
Perhaps the cashmere industry is holding its own.
but it is a very BIG step forward for the MoF and Mongolia!
so whoever may be interested in locking MNT high yield with limited reinvestment risk can do so!!!
Good bit of research by BDSec on the longer dated bonds Mongolia is issuing.
If you are an institutional investor are you _really_ going to put 50+ million USD to work in Tugrik denominated fixed income (OK, they also said equities...)? Guaranteed by a sovereign that has yet to demonstrate its ability to repay or roll over large tranches of international debt? With Rio Tinto busy engaged in write downs of c. USD 4 billion of OT and the Ex-Im bank agreements about to expire? And commodity prices looking to remain weak over the short term?

Something positive out of UB:
M.A.D. Mongolia Investment Solutions annual April Fool's Day newsletter.
Mongolia's investor relations: a job for Genghis Khan?
ho, hum …. more waiting …. one day, one day !!!
Indeed and that is what stuck out to me. Of course weak data out of China, that I have no doubt is completely manipulated for some other agenda, is not helping market perception. Anyone with thoughts on the recent and continued brush up involving Russia and the impact this will have on Mongolia. It appears, and not surprisingly, the US has a little more political interest in the area.
I have suggested to a few friends that Mongolia should be negotiating to put a U.S. military base in Mongolia. My friends have laughed... though I think this could be a good opportunity for all parties. (especially if Mongolia negotiated cheap U.S. natural gas into the agreement)
