Dear Friend:
Have you been carrying excess belly fat or "padding" around your hips, thighs, or arms for as long as you can remember?
Do you torture yourself for hours on the elliptical, but the pounds STILL won't come off?
If so, keep reading… because I'm about to reveal exactly how to fight fat and win, for good with AM PM Fat Loss – by turning your body into a 'round the clock fat-burning machine.
But first…
Here's the deal:
If you're struggling in ANY way to lose weight, it's because your hormones are [email protected]$%ed up. Plain and simple.
There is no diet or exercise that is going to help you…Not until you learn to master your hormones.
Your hormones are bodily chemicals that govern all the processes taking place inside you. They're the "messengers" that allow various organs and cells to communicate with each other.
If your weight is an issue, you most likely have a hormonal imbalance – which means the chemicals in your body have gone haywire. They're not "communicating" to each other properly. They're confused. And they're giving your body instructions to store fat rather than convert it to energy!
This is true whether you're male or female, whether you're exercising strenuously or not, and regardless of the type of diet you're following.
Why, exactly, are your hormones imbalanced?
The answer has to do with all the "crap" that's made its way into the typical American diet – crap you're probably eating right now, and which you've likely been told is "healthy" – but it isn't! It's slowly killing you!
Food products today are filled with unnatural chemicals and belly-fat-increasing substances designed to mimic the taste of real food. These include additives, preservatives, sugar, and artificial flavors, all of which are wreaking havoc on your hormones and sending signals to your brain to "store fat."
Once these unnatural substances glide over your taste buds, you start to develop an addiction to them. Before you know it, you're craving this stuff, eating too f#@%ing much, eating all the time, and your hormone function becomes ruined. The result? Out-of-control weight gain.
Before you know it, your body morphs into a sugar-burning machine instead of a fat-burning machine. It becomes difficult if not impossible for you to lose weight.
Dieting just make things worse.
When it comes to looking and feeling great, too many people believe it's about finding "the right diet." So they scour the book shelves for diet books and cookbooks – or they search endlessly on the internet, hoping to find that "miracle" diet pill or answer that will finally release them from the hell of being overweight.
To make matters worse, there's a ton of conflicting info about diet and nutrition. And instead of focusing on hormones, the "experts" dribble out cookie cutter advice, such as:
Don't listen to them. These are all fad diets, and they're all about selling… but they DON'T address the real issue: hormone imbalance.
The truth is: it doesn't matter what diet you're following. Regardless of whether you're eating like a "caveman," choosing "organic" or "vegetarian," eating soy protein instead of meat – you will still gain weight if your hormones are imbalanced.
You can try out as many different programs as you'd like – but if your hormones are imbalanced, it's all wasted effort.

Hi, I'm Shane Ellison, medicinal chemist, consumer health advocate, and author of the Amazon bestselling book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures. I've dedicated my entire professional career to studying medicine and human metabolism to help people like you burn fat and get the bodies they've always wanted
Just like you, I know what it feels like to struggle with weight. As a collegiate wrestler, I was at 4% body fat and had everything going for me – shredded abs, a ripped body, and people asking me all the time, "How do you do it?" But as time passed, my body began to change and I started piling on the weight. By the time I was in my mid-20s, I had ballooned to 30% body fat. It was embarrassing, and pretty gross, to say the least.
Fortunately, my background in chemistry helped me discover the secrets to burning fat naturally. I discovered it's NOT about willpower, dieting, or exercising – it's about balancing your hormones.
The truth is: burning fat and building muscle can be accomplished with as little sacrifice as possible. I'll tell you more on how to do that. But first…
It's important that you understand my qualifications, so you know that I'm not just another jackass trying to swindle you into buying a lame diet pill or program. I'm a medicinal chemist with extensive training and education.
As an undergraduate, I was a two-time recipient of the prestigious Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Grant for my studies in biochemistry and physiology. As a graduate student at Northern Arizona University, I was named "Student of the Year" for my laboratory work in medicinal chemistry.
I've been a featured health expert in Fox News, US News and World Report, OnFitness, Women's Health, and Woman's World Magazine. People respect what I have to say, because I don't sugar-coat things, or give any bullshit answers. My book has also been a #1 bestseller on Amazon.
My experience as a medicinal chemist has led me to discover a new way of controlling hormone output, balance and sensitivity. Once this biological trio is in sync in your body, your metabolism is forced to burn fat day and night.
I referred to my finding as The AM-PM Fat Loss Discovery – and I've packaged this information into a unique program that will help you balance your hormones so you can burn fat. This is the definitive way to restore youthful hormone function at any age, naturally. It's also the "Hail Mary" cure for lean muscle growth.
If you're breathing, you have the innate ability to crush unruly hormones while producing others that serve as "weapons of fat destruction." (They're known technically as hGH, glucagon, ghrelin, leptin and testosterone just to name a few.)
These life-sustaining hormones help you:
Unfortunately, most people are failing to tap into this super-efficient "internal pharmacy," due to surging insulin and blood glucose (sugar) levels.
As insulin and sugar rise, your weapons of fat destruction fall.
Graph 1
High insulin and blood sugar give rise to a special family of enzymes and other biochemical products that SHUNT your ability to produce hormones that help you LIVE THIN AND SLIM! And most health professionals are completely unaware of this fact.
This "hormone curse" is caused by food additives and preservatives, sugar, artificial flavors, lack of exercise and prescription drugs like:
Graph 2
Over the last 50 years, pharmaceutical researchers have discovered 12 different "hormone cures" that drastically alter your "insulin sensitivity." That means they force your blood to RID ITSELF OF EXCESS INSULIN and sugar! Therefore, they resolve the hormonal problem of fat storage and muscle wasting.
These hormone cures work by acting on the surface of fat cells to activate fat metabolism instead of fat storage. Technically, this is known as thermogenesis and lypolysis. Both rid the body of stored fat by shoving it into the "metabolic furnace" to be used as fuel.
Studies show that when your body uses FAT (not sugar) as fuel, the following benefits are achieved:
Rather than tell doctors about these benefits, the drug industry has been trying to mimic these hormone cures to design their own synthetic copycats.
But they have failed miserably. Meanwhile, they've kept this knowledge hidden for decades. (The same way they kept the anti-cancer and pain relieving properties of cannabis hidden for so many years.)
But the truth can only be hidden for so long… Fortunately, for you, I have all the "insider" info you need to start putting hormone cures to use for yourself.
Excess belly fat is caused by an imbalance in the hormones glucagon and testosterone. As we become sedentary, eat too much, or take prescription drugs, these torso-sculpting hormones diminish. The result is the accumulation of belly fat, which leads to Type II diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and of course, an unsightly appearance
A "fit belly" is the result of a daily boost in glucagon and testosterone. This is true among men and women. An added benefit for women is that their backside becomes more defined. (Think "mom-in-thong.")
Most exercise is a waste of time. And it's not a mystery as to why this terribly frustrating outcome occurs.
Exercise fails because most people have hormones that favor fat storage over fat burning.
Like a hybrid car, the body can use different types of fuel – fat or sugar. Hormones dictate which type it parlays into physical energy, and which form of fuel it stores.
When you suffer from the hormone curse of high insulin and blood sugar, the body will utilize glucose (sugar) and amino acids (muscle), while storing fat, no matter how hard you punish yourself in the gym! That's why exercise doesn't work – "your hormones are conspiring against you!"
Once you start using the hormone cures outlined in The AM-PM Fat Loss Discovery, your body will switch its fuel source to fatinstead of using sugar and amino acids from your muscle as fuel. That means you can do minimal exercise for maximum gain, because fat will be burned to fuel physical work and muscle growth.
I've used the hormone cures in The AM-PM Fat Loss Discovery to help thousands of people get their best body. To their surprise, it doesn't involve hardcore sacrifice or even exercise.
Now it's your turn.
For the first time, The AM-PM Fat Loss Discovery teaches everything you need to know to get your best body in 90 days or less.
You'll discover how to:
What You Get With The AM-PM Fat Loss Package

You will learn how to optimize your hormone balance, output and sensitivity using 6 simple habits that nobody is teaching. Once done, you will achieve your best weight and achieve optimal health so you can get off prescription drugs and live a healthier more active lifestyle.
No. The supplements on AM PM are designed to help you get results faster, as long as you are following the 6 simple habits. And one of those habits is working out 6-18-minutes, per day, three times per week, minimum. (You will get even better results if you do it every other day.)
Who can't fucking do 6-18 minutes of exercise three times per week?
Then don't buy the program.
You can take any of the other TPC supplements while you're doing AM PM. However, if you are still trying to lower your high blood pressure – do that first. Ensure you understand what high blood pressure is for your age by reading chapter 4 in Over-The-Counter Natural Cures Expanded.
AM PM is neither. It's a lifestyle that shows you how you can eat healthy for the rest of your life and exercise in a way that won't cause you to spend hours at the gym.
AM PM is the smart choice for busy professionals to stay healthy, in-shape and off prescription drugs – in short, to live young!
Of course.
Strictly speaking, AM PM is only going to cause healthy weight loss among those who need to lose weight. Granted that's just about everyone, unless you are already in very good shape. If you are, you are in the minority.
For that minority, you will learn about 6 Healthy Habits that will help you maintain your conditioning for the rest of your life. You will also learn about a simple exercise routine you can do that only takes 18-min a day a few days a week. By building up your body through healthy detoxification, hormone intelligence and nutrient logic, athletes can finally achieve a higher level of STAMINA, without so much sacrifice or strict dieting.
Unless you're an athlete, NONE.
You can get all the nutrients you need from vegetables. Two tablespoons of real lemon juice gives you all the vitamin C you need per day.
Absolutely nothing. There is NO snacking whatsoever on AM PM. Snacking will slow down your weight loss 100% of the time.
Most foods contain a label that gives the calories for a serving of food. Use that as your guide. If you eat more than 1 serving, then multiply by that number.
Decimal point accuracy is not necessary. On foods – such as vegetables – that do not provide such a label, Google it. The number won't be 100% accurate, but it will be close enough.
After a few weeks of actually counting calories, you should have a good idea of how big or small your portions need to be and can thereafter simply "eyeball" it.
This is covered in the book on page 63."Don't forget, this whole calories calculation thing is an estimate, based on a formula that is almost 100 years old. That means your final number may be too high or too low. So simply use this as a guide to begin planning your meals."
If the calorie calculation is correct and you have been following it and you have been exercising and you haven't been cheating, but for some reason, you haven't been losing weight, then your calories are too high. Cut 200 – 400 calories from the number you originally got in your calculations, and use this new number.
No. Take Thermo FX right after eating a breakfast of healthy fat.
If you weigh more than 225 lb, you can take another one right after eating lunch.
Work out when you can.
Do not take Thermo FX later than 2 pm. This of course is completely different for people who work nights and sleep during the day. They will need to invert their entire schedule, but this is something they should already be used to.
AM PM is more than just taking pills. There are 6 Habits that you have to make a part of your life.
Have you worked out the calculations using your body fat percentage to discover your ideal weight?
Have you figured out your maximum calories per day, using your ideal weight, to ensure you are not eating too f#@%ing much?
Have you been tracking your calories so that you can eventually know what portion size is correct and then just 'eyeball" it?
Have you been exercising?
Let support know. Staff who've done AM PM successfully will work with you to help get to the bottom of anything that's going on and correct it.
Healthy fats include grass-fed beef, pastured poultry & pork, wild-caught game & fish, organic eggs, organic dairy products (whole milk cheese, yogurt, etc), organic nuts & seeds.
If you're trying to lose weight, these foods should make up the majority of your meals.
It is not true that all fat leads to more fat. Sugar causes fat storage. Healthy fat leads to fat burning.
These are bulky vegetables that – when eaten with healthy fats – make you feel fuller longer. They are much healthier than fruits.
They include broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels's sprouts, etc. – all organic, of course. You can and should eat a greater variety of organic vegetables with your healthy fats, but cruciferous vegetables will help you feel fuller longer.

It would certainly help developers to plan a viable project and to secure financing for it.
Weather and climate modelling systems can offer some insight into these needs. Over the lifetime of wind projects, these numerical similations of the atmosphere can explain past climate variability, present-day risks and opportunities, and future resource.
The Met Office, the UK's national weather service, can already deliver site-specific wind forecasts to cover the next hour to the next week, used by many operators for short-term power predictions. It is now investing in research and development into longer-term future climate variability and change, as well as looking further back into history, to learn more about the long-term behaviour of wind.
Look back
Investigations into using current numerical models to re-analyse historical data stretching back over 140 years is being used to assess the variability in the longer-term wind climate. While recent experience in the UK might suggest some kind of trend - with higher winds in the 1990s and several extremely low-wind years more recently — by using the long-term data records we can see that these fluctuations are fully consistent with the natural variability seen in the past century.
Looking only at the last two decades would also miss out some of the true variability in the wind speeds that are only apparent over longer periods. By incorporating information from these long records we can start to gain an understanding of what future wind speeds could be over a typical wind asset lifetime.
Already, developers make use of weather and climate research centres that run sophisticated models of the climate at a variety of resolutions. These models can predict across timescales and applications, ranging from "nowcasts" of the weather in the next few hours, which have resolutions of less than 2 kilometres, to multi-week ensemble forecasts, which cover resolutions of tens of kilometres. Other models look back and re-analyse the atmosphere through data that can stretch as far back as 140 years. These modelling systems have become more complex and capable as the supercomputing technology has improved.
Just three years ago, wind resource assessment of a wind project solely used data taken from a national network of 10-metre-high masts with anemometers, such as those that the Met Office uses to monitor the UK's climate.
While this observational data continues to play an important role, assessment is now greatly enhanced with the more frequent use of mesoscale modelling, particularly as observational data is difficult to acquire in many parts of the world.
Using weather modelling software already contributes to assessing wind resources in several ways. The flexibility in set-up means that an early assessment can be provided before money is spent on site surveys, measurement campaigns and site planning and design studies. Modelling can provide a long-term reference for measure-correlate-predict wind assessments using on-site measurements, particularly where long-term weather measurements are not available. It can supply data for a small project when an on-site measurement campaign is not economically viable, and traditional wind maps are not accurate enough.
As energy production, and therefore revenue generation, is highly sensitive to long-term wind resources, all stakeholders have much to gain from improving the accuracy and confidence of long-term wind assessments. New technologies and advances in science are assisting with this challenge. There is even greater potential if weather and climate modelling are included in the resource assessment mix.
It is possible to use very long-term historical re-analysis modelling to quantify climate variability and present-day risks. A major area of research at the Met Office is forecasting across a season or a decade. Although this is work in progress, leading scientists believe the next generation of models will be able to provide highly valuable forward projection, adding real value to wind resource assessments.
Science behind the solution
Increasingly, current numerical models are being used alongside on-site data, such as from a meteorological (met) mast or lidar light detection system, or from a met mast near the site. The ability to map current data against the historical data is particularly useful in locations where there is little observational data to provide the wind climatology information required as part of the resource assessment process. These data sets are low-resolution and designed to present a coherent picture of the larger-scale weather, so are not ideal to use in isolation to estimate asset-specific wind resource due to the highly siteand height-specific nature of wind.
Higher-resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) model data, which currently covers much shorter timescales, can produce siteand height-specific resource assessments or forecasts of wind. For offshore energy projects, these can be used in conjunction with wave model data. The Met Office applies a downscaling process to its suite of high-resolution NWP models to produce resource assessments and forecasts that take into account the detailed characteristics of the site, including orography and land use, which are fundamental in determining the wind speeds at specific heights above the surface.
The Met Office wind prediction tool combines NWP models, re-analysis data sets and downscaling to capture and analyse all the wind information needed to define an accurate long-term wind climatology at a specific site and hub height. This improves the accuracy of the long-term mean wind speed and, as improved historical data sets cover longer periods and modelling capabilities improve, predictions will become more accurate, enabling more effective management of the impacts of weather at all stages of a project lifecycle.
Using NWP model data in this way also enables the uncertainty of resource estimates or forecasts to be quantified. Wind speed biases at a site are governed by the underlying skill of the model and the difficulty in modelling the site, whether through terrain and land use complexity, or local features not represented in the model. The accuracy of the wind data generated by combining these analyses has been extensively verified and the certainty in the wind data is defined according to the topographic complexity of individual sites.
The Met Office is researching the best way to combine on-site observations with model reference data taken at the same site, but at a different height, for example. Engagement across the industry will help to build understanding.
Reducing uncertainties
Traditional techniques may not be ideal as, like daily meteorological forecasts, there is a risk that constraining short periods of monitoring for co-located model reference data set risks removing significant climatological intelligence not observed in the monitoring period. To resolve this issue, a weighted algorithm must be added to the calculations, to combine the longer-term prediction data. This maintains the climatological signal contained in the modelled site wind record but incorporates the effects of local features observed at the site.
Given the high variability of winds across Europe it is crucial that advanced wind assessment methods are used to accurately define the long-term wind climatology, which in turn underpins long-term power yields and revenue projections. As development costs rise, the sensitivity of long-term profitability to wind speeds is increasingly important.
Experimental model designs that will generate future projections of wind speeds, on timescales ranging from months to decades, are being investigated. These are factoring in the needs of the global renewables industry — to ensure wind is a primary output, not a poor relation as it may have been in the past. As scientists progressively improve the skill of such models, it may be possible to factor in long-range forecast intelligence in wind-farm investment decision, rather than relying solely on the past to predict the future.

Gail Porter has admitted she was "very, very ill" with depression and now wants to help other sufferers.
The TV presenter and former model, 40, was hospitalised earlier this year, but denied reports she had tried to end her life.
"You kind of think you can deal with everything and obviously I couldn't and it got worse and worse. And instead of actually saying 'Can I get some help from someone,' I thought, 'No, I'll be fine. I'm a mummy, I've lost my hair, I can deal with all these things, it's not a problem'. And I actually just got very, very ill," she told ITV1's Lorraine.
"They said in the papers that I had cut myself, I tried to commit suicide, all of this nonsense. I never did any of that, I just literally was at the lowest, I couldn't see an end to this depression."
The mum-of-one went on: "I was put in a ward behind the Royal Free Hospital and I wasn't allowed out, it was illegal for me to leave. And they put me on all these drugs that I had never taken in my life."
Gail - who began losing her hair in 2005 - now plans to help other people going through similar experiences.
"I'm studying to do counselling because I really would like to help other people," she added.
"I'm at my happiest when I can talk to other people or help other people or do something nice. So many people have actually done it to me, so I would like to give it back. And I really hope that we can get some sort of system together that can help people because there's not a lot of help for people."

United States of America
The United States of America, the third largest country by size in the world, is a nation of staggering natural, geological, and cultural diversity. Occupying the middle portion of the North American continent, the country's varied landscapes run the gamut from tropical beaches in Florida to alpine peaks in the Rocky Mountains, from rolling prairie lands and barren deserts in the West to dense wilderness areas in the Northeast and Northwest. Interspersed throughout are some of the world's largest lakes, deepest canyons, mightiest rivers, and most populous cities.
Though a relatively young nation, the United States has enjoyed a meteoritic rise in global importance since declaring independence from Britain in 1776. Advances in the past hundred years in particular have established America as a world leader economically, militarily, and technologically.
The U.S. is generally divided into six large regions: New England; the mid-Atlantic; the South; the Midwest; the Southwest, and the West. Though loosely defined, these zones tend to share important similarities, including climate, culture, history, and geography.
New England hosted some of the first settlers in the New World. These intrepid travelers left Europe, mainly England, in search of religious freedom. Their thrift and ingenuity created an intellectual, cultural, and economic epicenter in the region that lasted nearly 200 years. Visitors flock to the states of New England—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont—for, among other things, a dose of American history and for the world-famous explosion of colors from the region's fall foliage.
The mid-Atlantic region includes Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. These 19th-century industrial powerhouses attracted millions of European immigrants and gave rise to some of the East Coast's largest cities: New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. They're also home to some of the most picturesque scenery in the nation, including the ancient peaks of the Appalachians and the tranquil Chesapeake Bay.
The South comprises Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. This most distinctive of U.S. regions took decades to recover from the devastation of the Civil War. But over the past half-century, a so-called New South has emerged, supplementing its agricultural base with modern manufacturing and industry and attracting a flock of transplants and retirees to its mild climate, laid-back lifestyle, and varied landscapes.
The American Midwest is perhaps most difficult to define culturally and geographically. Home to the Great Lakes and much of the mighty Mississippi River, the highly fertile soils in the Midwest make it the country's agricultural epicenter. Dubbed the "nation's breadbasket," the region comprises the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Starkly beautiful landscapes define the America Southwest. A land of prairie and desert, the Southwest is made up of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, although parts of neighboring states are often considered part of this region. The Southwest is home to some of the world's great natural marvels, including the Grand Canyon and Carlsbad Caverns, and many manmade wonders as well, like the ruins of the Chaco culture.
The American West, home of rolling plains and the iconic cowboy, epitomizes the pioneering image of the United States. But this region is a profoundly diverse one, ranging from endless wilderness to barren desert, coral reefs to Arctic tundra, Hollywood to Yellowstone. The states of the West include Alaska, Colorado, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

SPB breathes life into 'Kochadaiiyaan' singleOct 7, 2013 IANS
Chennai, Oct 7 (IANS) The first song from upcoming Rajinikanth-starrer, the Tamil political drama "Kochadaiiyaan", was released online Monday. S.P. Balasubramanyam (SPB) has sung "Engage pogudho vaanam" and his effervescent vocals make the emotionally uplifting song a must hear.
Composed by A.R. Rahman, the song opens to grand orchestra-backed blaring horns with recurring percussion. The song is highly energetic but Rahman skillfully gives it a melodic touch by introducing different instrumental portions.
SPB breathes life into the song, written by Vairamuthu. Lines such as "Unadhu vaalal oru Suriyanai undakku" (defeat the sun with your sword) and "Vetri changoli endrume oyadhe oyadhe" (the siren of victory never rests) are highly optimistic and inspiring.
The song demands multiple hearing, thanks to SPB's stimulating voice and Rahman's energetic composing.
This is the sixth time double Oscar-winning composer Rahman has composed music for Rajinikanth's film after "Muthu", "Padayappa", "Baba", "Sivaji" and "Enthiran".

So President Obama decided not to approve the presidential permit for the Keystone XL pipeline project, but is open to reconsidering if TransCanada, the company that wants to build the pipeline, applies again with a different route.
When analyzing policy decisions, Cicero used to ask his fellow Roman senators, "Cui bono?" It's Latin for, "Who benefits?" Amidst all the spinning in Washington, it is worth asking the same question about the Keystone decision. Let's review the players:
President Barack Obama: Obama has made it clear that he won't be bullied into making a decision by congressional Republicans, who imposed a deadline on him in legislation to extend a temporary payroll tax cut until the end of February. Obama threatened to veto that bill, but signed it anyway. So now he has complied with the law, but exercised his right to reject the permit. As he heads into negotiations with Congress over another extension of the payroll tax cut and an increase in the U.S. debt ceiling, the president has stood firm.
And yet, the president is open to reconsidering the pipeline. He told Prime Minister Harper that it was a decision "without prejudice." Is Obama against Keystone until he can be for it (safely) after 2013?
Republicans: All of the GOP presidential candidates support the Keystone pipeline, and congressional Republicans do, too. The president didn't give in to them, rejecting the Keystone permit.
Or did he? Congressional Republicans wanted to force Obama to take a position against Keystone so they had proof that he would back environmental special interests over jobs for Americans, not to mention lower energy prices. In an election year likely to revolve around economic issues, this ammunition will help Republican candidates to contrast themselves with the president and Democrats.
Environmentalists: Environmentalists praised the decision as a blow against Big Oil but if approval of the Keystone pipeline is only delayed, it sounds more like a love tap for Big Oil, knocking them off schedule, nothing worse.
If the Keystone XL pipeline is never built, the United States will continue to import Canadian oil -- just not as much of it, and more from other suppliers. The larger question of U.S. dependence on fossil fuels is not addressed by a decision to not purchase from one supplier, but by a reduction in demand.
Canada: The United States can decide what oil it wants to buy and from whom, but Canadians are the ones who will decide whether to develop their oil resources, whether to export that oil, and to whom. And if the United States won't buy more, there are plenty of customers in Asia. Japan, India, Korea, and China all have growing economies that depend on imported oil.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has strongly backed the construction of the Northern Gateway pipeline to connect oil fields in Alberta to the Pacific Ocean, where it could be shipped by tanker. This project is expensive because its route crosses the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and native groups with rights to the land along the route have not agreed to allow it yet. Without Keystone, there will be greater momentum to build the Northern Gateway pipeline instead.
Environmentalists oppose the Northern Gateway pipeline just as vigorously as they oppose Keystone -- Harper recently complained that U.S. environmental groups have been pumping money into Canada to finance opposition to this project as well. By delaying these pipelines, environmental groups hope that they can slow the flow of Canadian oil onto world markets, and thereby increase the price of oil
worldwide -- making alternative energy economically more attractive.
Big Oil: Yet higher oil prices will also make oil pipelines more profitable, and so Obama's decision on Keystone will accelerate progress on the Northern Gateway. Since the Keystone debate isn't over, opponents will have to fight on both fronts in hopes of slowing Canadian oil production. Oil producers are likely to end up with two new routes for their exports. Harper has made clear that Canadians won't be victims of U.S. politics and will defend themselves with Northern Gateway, a route to more willing customers.
And so the winner is...
China: China is the fastest growing oil customer of all. As China's economy keeps growing, per capita oil consumption will grow as well.
If China benefits, does the United States suffer? Not necessarily. It would not be good to deny China the oil it needs, and thereby become an enemy for Chinese growth. When western powers imposed an oil embargo on Japan in the 1930s as punishment for the Japanese invasion of Chinese Manchuria, the result was Pearl Harbor.
Besides which, if Canada can ship oil to China, then China will have less reason to seek oil from Iran or Sudan. No one worries that if China buys Canadian oil, it will subvert the Canadian government, or worsen the Canadian human rights record. From the United States' perspective, better to have China become more reliant upon friendly countries than unfriendly
On the other hand, more oil consumption by China represents a loss for environmentalists. If Canada can't sell more oil to the United States, it will sell it to China and other Asian markets. Environmental standards in Asian markets being lower than those in North America, the net effect will be more carbon emissions per barrel of Canadian oil produced, not less.
Who benefits? The only certain winner is China. Yesterday's decision brings China one step closer to being able to access Canadian oil, at no cost to them. As the Huffington Post's Althia Rajreports, Stephen Harper will use his visit to China in February to promote Canadian oil. Canada may yet come out a winner in today's Keystone decision, too.
The remaining question is how President Obama's Keystone delay will affect the U.S. elections later this year, when American voters weighing all this will pick the ultimate winner.

The Classic Cantabile US 100 Ye has a matt lacquered basswood body and neck from select hardwood. With the smooth guitar mechanics, the tuning of the ukulele is a breeze. The ukulele is fitted with nylon strings. The compact size makes it perfect to use as an instrument for traveling, as it can very easily be stowed in a backpack or gig bag optional.
originally brought the Portuguese immigrant Joao Fernandes 1879 Braguinha, a local form the cavaquinho, from Madeira to Hawaii. There it got the name "ukulele" (jumping flea), which should reflect the impact of the Hawaiians at the sight of the rapidly moving fingers across the fingerboard of the instrumentr.
From Hawaii then came the ukulele over America to Europe and was also well received in the music scene.
Ever since Stefan Raab and "TV Total", the ukulele became a real cult musical instrument in Germany also.

At the Sixth Ministerial Conference "Environment for Europe" that took place in Belgrade (Serbia) from 10 to 12 October 2007 ministers agreed to undertake a reform of the "Environment for Europe" (EfE) process in order to ensure that the process remains relevant and valuable, and to strengthen its effectiveness as a mechanism for improving environmental quality and the lives of people across the region.
As stated in the Belgrade Ministerial Declaration, the reform should focus on, although may not be limited to, the following aspects:
a) The format, focus and priorities of the process and Ministerial Conferences;
b) Evaluating the performance and impact of the process;
c) Attracting the broader interest and more active engagement of all stakeholders, in particular the private sector;
d) Expanding the use of partnerships as vehicles for improving implementation;
e) Leveraging external contributions of expertise, manpower and resources;
f) Assessing ways and means to promote more effectively the UNECE region-wide dimension of environmental cooperation;
g) The full cost of the process and the effective allocation of available resources;
h) Future secretariat arrangements.
In order to address the above issues in depth and with due consideration, ministers invited the Committee on Environmental Policy (CEP) to develop by the end of 2008, in consultation with EfE partners, a plan for EfE reform so that it can be endorsed, at a political level, by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) at its next session in spring 2009. The ministers further agreed that the next EfE Ministerial Conference will be organized on the basis of the agreed reform.
At its meeting on 30 January 2008 the Bureau of the CEP discussed a possible outline for preparation of the EfE reform plan and agreed that a compilation document (En, Fr, Ru) reflecting the views of member States was needed as a basis for the discussion of the reform.
This complilation together with the views of member States and stakeholders that could not be included in the document were discussed in depth at the 15th session of the CEP that took place on 21-23 April 2008 in Geneva.
The CEP-15 was a first step in a serie of meetings and consultations that were planned to be held with broad participation of the UNECE member States and all stakeholders in order to develop and agree upon the EfE reform plan. The meeting provided further guidance on the main elements of the reform that were reflected in an outline of the EfE reform plan (En, Ru).
The Extended CEP Bureau meeting (23-24 June 2008) discussed the outline of the EfE reform plan and generally agreed that the draft of the EfE reform plan could follow the structure of the outline document, provided that more details were included in order to reflect all necessary aspects of the reform.
The draft EfE Reform Plan (En, Fr, Ru) was further discussed at the special session of the CEP held from 13 to15 October 2008 in Geneva.
The updated draft of the EfE Reform Plan (En, Fr, Ru) was finalized and adopted (En/En, Fr/Fr, Ru/Ru) at the special session of the CEP that took place in Geneva from 27 to 29 January 2009 and was transmitted to the Economic Commission for Europe at its sixty-third session (Geneva, 30 March - 1 April 2009) for endorsement. The Commission endorsed the Reform Plan.
All documents related to the EfE reform along with the individual views expressed by the member States and stakeholders may be found here.

Dell and HP missing the mobile boatAugust 22, 2012: 11:10 AM ET
Dell is in a world of hurt.
The PC maker reported sales that missed forecasts and cut its outlook for the current quarter. The fact that Dell (DELL) beat earnings estimates was shrugged off by investors, who want to see the company ramp up its mobile efforts.
When it comes to the hottest mobile gadget, Apple (AAPL) is clearly the dominating force, with the iPad. Dell and its rival Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) need to get moving if they want to keep a competitive edge.
Shares of both companies are taking a beating but HP reports its earnings after the bell today, so stay tuned.>

Kyle Johnson wins Knoxville Half-Mile, Ryan Wells takes over series points lead
Courtesy of Motorcycle-Superstore.com:
MEDFORD, OR (June 17, 2014) - It was another win, win weekend for Motorcycle Superstore / Bell Helmet AMA Pro Flat Track athletes as Kyle Johnson ran away with the overall win in the Pro Singles class while Ryan Well's 5th place finish propelled him into the series points lead.
Johnson, after winning his heat race, easily earned his main event victory by piloting his Hot Rod Harley-Davidson Honda to a 6.21-second lead.
"After having a challenging start to the season, I was hungry for a win. This was my first time riding Knoxville so I wasn't sure what to expect. In qualifying, I went out and found that my bike was dialed in and was able to find the fast line around the track. After winning my heat race, I knew I needed to go out and do the same thing in the main event. My start in the main wasn't great so I knew I had my work cut out for me. I put my head down and made my way to the front. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate Father's Day than taking my dad on a victory lap. I would like to thank my sponsors, family, friends and fans for all the support. Now I need to stay focused and be consistent the rest of the season."
Wells' race weekend started out great by grabbing a 2nd in his heat race and transfering straight to the main, but issues with his bike derailed his overall chances for a win. "I thought this was going to be my race but my bike started blowing oil in the main and was dropping power - but that's racing, we'll come back ready to win next weekend.
"I'm just happy to keep moving forward and now have the points lead"
The next round of the AMA Pro Flat Track series will head to Lima, Ohio for the Lima Half-Mile at the Allen County Fairgrounds on June 28, 2014. If you can't be there, make sure to check out the live action on www.FansChoice.tv.

text: Binh Thuan province boasts but one popular tourist draw – the sands and resorts of Mui Ne. Most bypass the southern Binh Thuan coast entirely, but for those with their own wheels – or willing to brave the scarce public transport – there are a few things to see. From the Ba Ria coast, Highway 55 follows the windswept coast to Ham Tan, passing through cashew orchards with glimpses of huge sand dunes to your right. This route is so far off the beaten track that ox carts are almost as common as motorized vehicles. Occasional dirt tracks lead down to some fantastic stretches of deserted beach, where a few coracles pulled up beyond the tide level hint at human habitation. After passing Ham Tan, the coast road continues eastward; the landscape is beautiful, with remote fishing villages sheltered by coconut palms, and dragon-fruit orchards lining the road. This eventually veers away from the coast in the form of Highway 712 to join the unrelenting traffic of Highway 1 about 30km before Phan Thiet, a bustling yet essentially uninteresting city that few give any regard to on their way to Mui Ne.

Car hits garage after 2-car accident in Rome
ROME -- Both drivers were charged after a two-car accident in the City of Rome on Sunday led to one car hitting a garage.
Pamela Obenchain, 49, of Westmoreland, was travelling west on Rome Oriskany Road when police say she turned on her left signal to make a turn. Instead, they report Obenchain began turning right into a driveway when she was struck by another vehicle driven by Luis Dejesus, ago 30, of Rome.
According to reports, Dejesus was traveling west behind Obenchain and tried driving around her when she changed directions.
Upon impact, Dejesus' vehicle traveled northwest across the lawn of 7021 Rome Oriskany Road and struck the garage on the property where it came to rest. Dejesus was transported to Rome Memorial Hospital for a complaint of chest pain. Dejesus' three passesngers were not injured.
Obenchain and her passenger were not injured.
Obenchain was ticketed for failing to signal 100 feet from her turn. DeJesus was ticketed for having a child between age 4-7 with no child restraint system.
The Sheriff's Office was assisted at the scene by the Rome Fire Department, Stanwix Heights Fire Department and AmCare Ambulance.

More than music: Rodi's quest for meaning
Mike Rodi has a gripe. "We regularly pack people in here beyond my expectations," he says of downtown fixture Rapture and sister club R2."The numbers are all good."
Good news, right? Well, maybe for your average businessman, but not for Rodi. Somehow, despite being entirely wrapped up in pop culture personally, Rodi still finds himself frustrated by the degree to which it seems to permeate his club.
"Sometimes I feel like I built a really cool club in order to host the world's biggest MTV karaoke party," he sighs.
It's all rooted in his own musical experiences. Rodi started spinning in New York in 1989 and has spent a good chunk of his 20 guitar-playing years as a member of local rockers Clare Quilty.
"It comes from being a musician and a DJ," he says. "I have a vested interest in music being more than just what large corporations tell people it should be."
He fully admits that he's at least a part of the problem, though. "I'm the biggest top-40 hip-hop whore there is," he says. "The fact that I'm a pop whore doesn't bother me at all. What does bother me is the fact that, week after week, I can count on having an audience for that."
That's not to say that R2 is always a slave to the countdown. "I have DJs who know how to turn people on to good music," says Rodi. "It's awesome to see a line from the side door all the way to the Mall, turning people away at 11pm, without Usher's 'Yeah' or Beyonce's 'Crazy In Love.'
"I'm in it to pay the bills and pack the floor," he says. "I'm not in it to educate people."
But the forlorn tone of his voice gives him away: clearly, he wishes he were. Rodi speaks with passion of his club's pulsing soundtrack, his own DJ sets, and even the background music pumped through the restaurant. He's like an under-appreciated all-night radio show host.
With one major difference: "The obscure 2am DJ has the freedom to play whatever he wants for the really dedicated listeners," he laments, "but I'm in the position of straddling, having to do both.
"For the long term health of the community in which I want to establish roots, something more than 'Crazy In Love' is needed," he says. At the end of the day, all he really needs is a house packed with warm bodies and loose wallets. What he wants, however, is a house packed with open minds.

Why here? Ended up here to do my PhD at UVA and ended up loving it
What's worst about living here? People are too spoiled and take what this town has to offer for granted.
Favorite hangout? Duh...
Most overrated virtue? I think honesty is important, but I think the daytime talk show advocacy of full disclosure of everything all the time is more of pathology than a virtue. I don't care what the president does with cigars, and don't think that your lover needs to know every thought and feeling you have.
People would be surprised to know? I'm a nerd.
What would you change about yourself? I would give myself superhero qualities.
Proudest accomplishment? My son, Miles. He's the best thing I've ever done by far.
People find most annoying about you? Depends on the person, I suppose. Ask around.
Whom do you admire? My employees
Favorite book? I've been a big reader my whole life; picking one book above all others would be really hard. White Noise by Don DeLilo, Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson, The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker would all make a short list.
Subject that causes you to rant? Recently I've ranted a lot about the ways in which Downtown is being strangled. It's the goose that laid the golden egg, and instead of feeding it and keeping it warm, it seems that everyone's set on cooking it. That Downtown thrives at all seems miraculous.
Biggest 21st century thrill? I'm not sure.
Biggest 21st century creep-out? Definitely the increasing power of the media to sell us anything, especially on the political front
What do you drive? Volvo
In your car CD player right now? My iPod, on shuffle
Next journey? Italy
Most trouble you've ever gotten in? I got caught shoplifting (a Kinks cassette) when I was 13 or 14. I'm sure I've been in worse trouble since then, but I don't think I ever felt like I was in bigger trouble.
Regret? I spent too much time in my 20s being a grown-up.
Favorite comfort food? My New England Clam Chowder with fresh-baked bread and butter
Always in your refrigerator? At least one thing that should have been thrown away ages ago
Must-see TV? I don't watch TV.
Favorite cartoon? My son has the first season of Samurai Jack on DVD, which is badass. (Original Bugs Bunny cartoons are still the best.)
Describe a perfect day: It's 75 degrees, sunny, dry. My son is off from school, and I don't have to go to work, so we play all day. Then we read together before bed.
Walter Mitty fantasy? Assuming that I'm not already living an unspeakably glamorous life filled with adventure and romantic entanglements– I guess see the Superhero comment above...
Who'd play you in the movie? Maybe John Cusack
Most embarrassing moment? Why the hell would I want to have that in print?
Best advice you ever got? My high school English teacher told me that I should let my father know how much I care about him now, not when I'm rich and famous and can buy him his dream car. He died fairly young two years later, and I was glad I listened to her.
Favorite bumper sticker? Dear World, We're sorry. We tried. – Half of America
Mike Rodi
