Really? Stay tuned. From what I hear from the Allied guys is, that have just signed a large deal that will certainly separate them from 99% of JRs who haven't produced a thing. I think the only failure is your ability to make any money with your Sney investment and from what I hear in SL you're a long ways away from seeing ANY kind of return. I don't take any solace in telling you and the rest of the investors that, but the information I'm getting is extremely  reliable. My advice to you is throw away your blender and find a hobby.

On a related note, did anyone find it odd that the Country Director, Tayyib Bah was not mentioned in the PR after Hale returned to the U.S? The fact that Hale didn't spend anytime with Bah and did not travel up country with him should be very disturbing to everyone. Bah controls the destiny of that concession and if anyone thinks otherwise they don't understand how things work in SL. The only reason they have been able to hang on to the concession without paying for it the last 6 months is because of him. If he is unhappy it is bad news.
