2-3 cloves of garlic
10 fluid ounces of plain yoghurt
4 chicken breasts
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Cut slashes into the chicken breasts taking care not to go all the way through and place them in a large dish.
Mix all the dry ingredients together then add to the garlic and mix thoroughly with the yoghurt.
Pour the whole mixture over the chicken and leave to marinade for a minimum of 6-8 hours, 24 hours preferably.
Place on a wire rack over a roasting tin and bake for 40 minutes or until tender on gas mark 6/200/400.

Recently a game playing acquaintance of mine on Facebook posted a comment about how her toddler had "influnzas" and that she should have insisted that the doctor had gave the child a flu jab. The implication was that the doctor thought the child didn't need it for whatever reasons. Her dad replied with links to the CDC to substantiate his claim that children along with "people with mental illness" are more vulnerable when they have flu. He then went on to list a whole set of neurological disorders. Surprise, surprise! No mental health problems or illnesses listed. Naturally I wasn't happy with this statement of his.
I pointed out rather tetchily that neurological conditions could not be classified as mental illnesses or vice versa. I'm sure that people with epilepsy the world over would be extremely disheartened to find that they were considered to be mentally ill. I called their remarks stupid, ill informed and uneducated. I immediately dropped the whole family. The father of them all, who claims to be a paramedic of 15 years standing, sent me a message (before blocking me and therefore stealing my right to reply) saying that I had no right to be angry and it's not his fault I have a horrible life.
It's amazing how people with prejudices manage to blame the person with the problem that terrifies them.
This blog post is for you Aaron Rex. I'll make sure you get to see it and long may you remain too poor to visit England. We have our fair share of bigots and bigotry and we don't need you adding to it.
A mouse of my acquaintance in seven days was fed
Twice twenty thousand swordfish, and now that mouse is dead.
The mercury in swordfish is an enemy to dread.
He ate twice twenty thousand, and that mouse is dead.
His sister gnawed through pizzas (I'm told one million four).
There's talk of botulism, and that sister is no more.
Their brother downed ten thousand turkeys lined with pesticide.
It took a week to kill him, but that poor mouse died.
So stay away from hormones, and from salmonella too,
Be impolite to cyclamates, and DDT eschew,
For additives and chemicals can kill you just like that,
Though (confidentially) those mice were done in by the cat.
The Skin Horse had lived longer in the nursery than any of the others. He was so old that his brown coat was bald in patches and showed the seams underneath, and most of the hairs in his tail had been pulled out to string bead necklaces. He was wise, for he had seen a long succession of mechanical toys arrive to boast and swagger, and by-and-by break their mainsprings and pass away, and he knew that they were only toys and would never turn into anything else. For nursery magic is very strange and wonderful and only those playthings that are old and wise and experienced like the Skin Horse understood all about it.
"What is Real?" asked the Rabbit one day when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stickout handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are REAL you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
"I suppose you are Real?" said the Rabbit. And then he wished he had not said it for he thought the Skin Horse might be sensitive. But the Skin Horse only smiled.
"The Boy's uncle made me Real," he said. "That was a great many years ago; but once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always."
I gave up drinking nearly 20 years ago on the same day that I gave up abusing drugs of both the legal and the illegal kind. I stopped them one morning after being told that if I carried on the way I was then I would be dead within two years. Two years of dying slowly and horribly not party, party, party and a spectacular death at the end of it. It was a hard lesson but one I learned really quickly. I did take another year to pack in the fags, that was the worst addiction of them all.
I look back on the time that I drank way beyond excess partly in horror and partly in a sense of loss. Alcohol was my best friend and my lover. It was more faithful to me than my husband and it had more staying power than my lover. It was the reason I woke in the morning and the reason I fell unconscious each night. My first drink of the day was the reason for my being. I would inhale the fumes of whatever whisky it was deeply, holding small sips in my mouth, swirling them round my teeth & making the back of my mouth sting before letting those first precious drops of the day slide down my throat so that I could begin to feel normal again after a few hours of enforced separation.
I had a different drink for every occasion. When I was loading and unloading the washing machine I had Valpolicella because it didn't mind the warmth of the kitchen. It was a pretty good wine for drinking whilst cooking. When I ironed I drank litres of Lambrusco because all that steam made me pretty hot and thirsty. When I was working it was vodka with lemonade or another soft drink because it was easily hidden. If I was hungry it was Guinness or port and brandy. Sometimes, if I was very hungry, I had Guinness with port added to it. If I was all alone I sat on the top floor of my pub in the unused bedrooms and kept company with a vintage Barolo. I can still remember the last bottle I drank. It was 10 years old and triggered orgasms on my tongue. I often dream about how that same bottle would taste today at 30 years old.
Mostly though I drank whisky. For 18 years my constant companions were my three blokey buddies - Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker. Whisky was a sweet torture because even though I adored the taste, the colour, the smell and the shape of the bottles, it gave me the hangover from hell. Long after I stopped drinking I could taste whisky in my mouth when I'd been dreaming of soothing away my problems the old fashioned way. Whisky was my first love and the other drinks were the times I strayed from the path, the guilty affairs that I could never quite give up.
After I'd been drinking for about 4 or 5 years the alcohol no longer did for me what I needed it to do. I drank, like all other alcoholics, to change the way I felt. I hated myself deeply and whilst it never gave me the courage to love myself it did give me the means to hate myself less. Then, as with all addictions, it takes more and more to get the feeling you need. Illegal drugs are very handy as is easy access to Valium and I took advantage of both. I would have vehemently denied being a dealer in those days but there isn't really another name for someone who sells drugs for profit even if they were "soft" drugs and it was only to her friends.
The constant drinking and using combined with far too little food and far too much emotional baggage meant that I caused devastation to the people around me. I was unpredictable to a point that, even when quite young, I could behave in almost any way I wanted in the local pubs & clubs because it just wasn't worth upsetting me. I look at that person now and feel sorry that she ever saw life. If anyone got close to me then they were getting close to a person I had manufactured and not the person I actually was. I didn't build walls to see who cared enough to climb over them; I built them so I could have target practice when people dared to climb over the top. I led a life that was far too charmed and paid for my misdeeds only when my conscience kicked in when I eventually stopped living what I had considered a life that others were jealous of.
Towards the end of my drinking and using, despite running a pub and living there rent free and without bills to pay, my money was no longer stretching to pay for my habits. I had stopped dealing when I moved into the pub, finally realizing that it actually was dealing and not doing a friend or two a favour. I was married to an alcoholic and was planning to kill him because I couldn't face trying to divorce him. I was desperate to keep drinking and terrified of running out of booze. That's when I started to watch the old people going in and out of the post office next door. I knew where they lived and I knew if they lived alone. I was seriously considering stealing from old people just to feed my booze habit.
And that is why legalizing drugs that are now illegal and making them widely available won't reduce drug related crime in any meaningful way.
An addict is an addict whatever the drug of choice and will stop at nothing to satiate their need. Except that need is never satisfied and more of whatever the drug might be is needed and it can never be found cheaply enough. I stopped at violent crime but many don't.
Only 30% of people who enter into treatment for alcoholism or drug addiction actually become permanently clean and/or sober. The rest repeatedly return to drink and drugs until it eventually kills them.
The only way we can do anything meaningful about drug related crime is to look at why addictions happen, make treatments much more readily available, recognize that getting someone clean and then returning them to their old neighbourhoods will never work. If we treat the problem holistically then maybe, and only maybe, can we look at legalizing some of the drugs that are now illegal.
How Germany values people with mental health problems by pushing false information & misunderstanding via soft toys.
I want to sit beside him and find out if those muscles really are that defined. I want to touch his hand in a moment of public intimacy and feel its softness wrap itself around my heart.
I want him to be sleeping deeply as I lie awake, his breathing providing the pace for my mindfulness.
I want him to be my morning coffee and afternoon tea, my game of two halves, a compliment to my wholeness and a supplement to that which I lack.
I want him to be the one that understands that whilst I am fierce about my independence I still need love and encouragement. Aloneness is wonderful but loneliness can be just a lack of that understanding.
I want his passion to melt the ice cubes in my summer drink and to warm me in the winter. I want him to fill me up and drain me completely, to energize and empty in a wonderful productive cycle.
I want him.

Chapter Nineteen – Tragedies, Not Sins0 Reviews
just read...
Two days later Brendon, Ryan, Sar and Ele were having lunch in the hotel restaurant. They were talking about what they were going to do once they'd be back in LA. Brendon and Ele were pretty much excited about their new house so, since Ele was moving out, the girls' apartment was going to be Ryan and Sarena's apartment.
As Brendon was describing his parents' reaction to the news of their youngest son getting married, laughing pretty much the whole time, Sar stood up.
"Sar, are you ok?" Ele asked, concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just… I feel a little queasy, I think I'm gonna go lie down a couple of minutes… I'll join you back later…"
"Do you want me to come with you?" Ryan asked, ready to stand up.
"No, really, it's fine…" she smiled, reassuring him. "I'll be back before you know it…" and with that said, she headed towards the elevators.
Ele watched her carefully. Sar was hiding something and she could always tell when her best friend was lying. She shrugged the feeling off of her as soon as Brendon took her hands, smiling at her.
"Hey Ele… can I ask you a question?" Ryan asked once Sar was inside the elevator.
"Yeah, shoot!"
"Do you think that her parents will take this so bad?"
"I don't know… I think she's too worried about having to tell them that she actually forgot that her parents have always been very understanding… I mean… I'm not saying that they will approve of this, but they're pretty much like my parents so, eventually, they'll come around…"
"There must be something in the air…" Brendon added. "I mean… I never thought my parents would be so pleased with this thing… well, they weren't exactly ecstatic, but, you know… They gave me the as-long-as-you're-happy speech, which is always a good sign…"
They kept talking about random stuff and half an hour later, when Brendon and Ryan were too busy discussing about a song that never made it to the album, Ele stood up.
"I'm gonna go see if Sar's alright, maybe she fell asleep…" she said.
Ryan handed her his key-card, so she could get into the room without having to wake her up.
She bent down to peck Brendon on the lips then went upstairs.
"Sar?" Ele called out, almost a whisper, as she entered Ryan and Sarena's room. She quietly closed the door behind her and looked around the room.
"Sar?" she asked again, this time louder, since her friend was not in the room. "Where are you?"
She noticed the door to the bathroom half closed, and that's when fear started to set in. There were no sounds besides water running from what seemed like the basin, so she went to open the door, "Sar, come on, Ryan's getting all desperate without you and he… Oh my God!"
Ele stopped, watching in horror the scene in front of her once she opened the door: Sar was lying on the floor, unconscious… there was some blood on the basin, and a clear cut on her forehead.
She hurriedly got on her knees next to her friend, checking to see if she was still breathing. "Sar! Sar, can you hear me?" she tried to shook her, crying as she kept calling Sar's name.
When she noticed that blood was still spilling from her cut, she grabbed a towel, wetted it, and pressed it on her cut, trying to stop the bleeding. Then, she grabbed her sidekick, dialling Ryan's number.
After that, Ele felt like she was on slow motion again, watching Ryan and Brendon storm into the bathroom, followed a couple of minutes later by the paramedics, and that's when she felt Brendon pull her away from Sar.
Ele woke up in the hospital's waiting room. She had her head resting on Brendon's shoulder and he was hugging her. Ryan was pacing back and forth in front of them, silent.
"Excuse me? Are you here for Sarena… Ross? Sarena Ross?" a doctor asked, looking at the chart.
Ryan sprinted towards him. "Yeah, I'm her husband… how is she doing? What happened to her?"
"She has a cut on her forehead, we closed it up so that should heal in a month or two… She's awake now, and from what she told us, she fainted and probably hit her head on the basin…"
"And how's the baby?" Ryan asked, interrupting the doctor.
"About that…" the man looked at him with sympathy… "Your wife fainted because she was going through miscarriage… I'm terribly sorry, but this means that she lost the baby…"
Ryan kept a solemn expression and as calmly as he could, he asked "Can I see her?"
"Of course… Follow me…"
About an hour later, Ele was still sitting in the waiting room. Brendon had went to take them something to drink, when Sar's parents came running towards her.
"Ele! What happened? How is she?" her mom asked, hugging her.
"Sar fainted and hit her head, but now she's fine… she's in room 704…"
"Ok, let's go…" Sar's mom said to Sar's dad, and before Ele knew it, they were sprinting towards her room.

Ryan brought up some really good points, and sparked a few more thoughts of my own!
One thing he talks about is the hard-core superhero fans you mentioned above, the ones buying the tickets and lining up for panels for 10 hours: at least for print comics (superheroes, mainly) these are a dying breed. These fans are getting older, and new fans aren't replacing them as quickly as they're dying off. There's exceptions (Twilight brought a bunch of people into Comic Con in 2011, AND this was a largely female audience in stark contrast to the superhero tribe) but even this was met with derision from the "hard core" base, who see them as impostors, and not true fans. Twilight sucks, right? And it's Comic-Con, not Movie-And-Fantasy-Con, right? This "You are only a true fan if you can recite back 40 years of Captain America continuity revisions" attitude is what can make that culture toxic.
Anyway, his point was that it's not sustainable. DC and Marvel's monthly comic print sales are not what they used to be, and Hollywood licensing has filled that gap for a long time. But popular tastes aren't going to be for superhero movies forever, and this current boom in superhero movies started with X-Men in 2000 has to end sometime.
Maybe that means in a few years Comic-Con shrinks a little, and with extra room, the casual comics fan can stop by on Saturday and check things out by buying a ticket at the door and without having to get a hotel in the city months and months in advance.
I have to say that I disagree with this prediction. That particular cadre of Comic-Con attendee may shrink, but attendance won't. Because at this point, I don't know if that cadre of Comic-Con attendee is even the majority anymore.
I mean, maybe it is, because who else would manage to get tickets? But still, in thinking about this today and talking with friends who attended — but who don't care about comics — I have no other choice but to believe that the greater pop-cultural forces that Comic-Con represents now are simply bigger than comics ever were or will ever be again.
The articulate and thoughtful Tom Spurgeon, who's been to more cons than I have, put it better than I could:
A thing I enjoy about San Diego is that it takes place in this bewildering array of Things I Could Never Enjoy. I don't understand the costume impulse. Lines give me the hives. I don't want to take endless photos of people dressed up as superheroes. I would never willingly spend an hour watching trailers and then listening to people stumble through worshipful questions of celebrities because I figure there will be plenty of that in Hell. There's relatively little in San Diego I would take home with me were it free. And yet I don't have any more right to decide what that show is all about than the first-time visitor from Staunton, Virginia that wants to buy some steampunk art and maybe be in the same room as Jensen Ackles. It's good to remember that.
I talked to two friends who attended the con this year. Both work in Hollywood; neither are big into comics, and both attended on pro badges secured from work. So they may not represent the typical attendee, but as I mentioned earlier, pro badges nonetheless make up a large part of the crowd, and at this point represent more of the "casual congoer" crowd than regular badges. I also think these folks' opinions are relevant simply because their perspectives are so wildly different from my own.
Person #1, who works in a creative capacity, attended most of the con, mainly hanging out with friends from work. She visited my booth and checked out the webcomics section, but didn't find much that caught her eye. She also walked around the Artist Alley, and was more interested in some of the art and crafty stuff than in any comics.
She's a fan of pop culture shows like Futurama and Firefly, so she tried to check out some panels, but wasn't able to get into many of the bigger ones, so she was disappointed about that. And though she doesn't follow comics, she did enjoy the Avengers and Iron Man movies, so she picked up a sort of best-of collection of Iron Man from the 70's "to try and catch up." She looked at some more modern Iron Man comics, but they didn't seem as interesting.
She also bought some art books and pop-culture-character doodads, and indicated that she'd have just as much fun at the con if it was only about the big-media stuff and there were no comics at all. She liked the celebrity panels as well as some of the hands-on craft panels that weren't about comics in particular.
She also really enjoyed looking at all the costumes, and overheard a few mocking comments of the "look at these stinky nerds" type from exhibitors, which she found disrespectful and arrogant.
Person #2 works in marketing at a network. She attended the con for two days and spent most of that time at industry events outside the con floor itself — either at meetings, or parties, or networking events. She characterized the con as a cool place to get to hang out with colleagues who may live in different cities but come in for the show, and a good opportunity to do face-to-face business. And in addition to participating in the general business conducted between executives, her network is also involved in marketing at the con itself — for example, doing branded sponsorships of pedicabs.
She spent just a few hours on the con floor, and described it as "completely overwhelming, but amazing." She also enjoyed the costumes, as well as the chance to examine this slice of fandom in a sociological sense. She quickly decided that it'd be too difficult to try and find anything in particular on the floor, so she just browsed for a while, eventually buying a T-shirt with a pop culture character on it. She was unable to attend any of the bigger panels but did check out a few smaller ones (including one featuring a TV creator she liked). She doesn't follow comics and had no real interest in checking out any comic-specific stuff at the con.
Both people said they enjoyed the experience and hoped to be back next year!
SDCC must be regarded as something other than a comics convention. SPX is a comics convention; TCAF is a comics convention. SDCC is something that occupies the liminal space between Sundance, Burning Man, and a Renaissance Faire. (Maybe you could call it Nerding Man.)
I think the Renaissance Faire comparison is most apt. You don't attend a Ren Faire necessarily with the aim of buying an ocarina or some kind of blown glass artifact; you go to see people in costume, watch a joust, and eat a turkey leg. You go for the spectacle and the experience, and you usually go with an open mind. I think that's how lots of people attend SDCC — just to see what's there to see. It's an amusement park.
And that's something smaller creators like myself sometimes forget, because for us it's very specifically a business. I don't have another job. I need to make money at this thing or I can't pay the rent. And everything in San Diego is so astronomically expensive — the booth, the lodging, the food, the parking — that we're usually starting off the week four figures in the hole, every time. That's a recipe for anxiety and bitterness.
I was doing some bookkeeping today, and I glanced at last year's SDCC sales figure, and I nearly choked out an involuntary sob. Last year was dismal for me in San Diego, for a lot of reasons totally unrelated to the many kind people who came and saw me and bought books and shirts. But this year looks to have been better, and hopefully next year will be better still. We figure this stuff out, because we gotta.
Tom Spurgeon again:
Too much attention has already been given to people quitting Comic-Con after this year, basically pros for whom the show doesn't work right now. I expect a few more people to engage this year's "I'm out" class as if they're the first ones. In actuality, people have been checking out of that show for years; it's not a new thing. Adapting to a show that's changed this much is going to include a component of people walking away. I still find it an incredibly useful industry and fun comics show, and I think others can, too. The things that have worked best about the convention the last five years have come from people striving to improve what goes on there; I think Comic-Con itself could take a lesson from that and become more active in shaping the comics portion of their show.
Wandering the show floor, seeing the indie artists, and talking with some of them, I get the sense that a lot of their stuff isn't resonating with the people who're browsing. Sometimes this is attributed to the show "not being about comics anymore" or "being choked out by Twilight fans."
I…guess that's true? But I'm a comics fan and I don't like their stuff either. The challenge of San Diego, if your goal is to make money, is to sell to this crowd, to match what you have with what they want, or at least what will catch their eye as they wander stupefied down the center of the aisle. I suppose that sounds crass and gross in a way, but who among us is owed a living? SDCC, at this point, isn't more yours than it's anyone else's. If it's not working out for you, there are a hundred people on the waitlist who'd love your booth.
That said, I am glad that there are people out there who are still plugging away on their comics come hell or high water, who love their craft so much they'll take a bath every year just to be a part of the event. I'm glad that they exist in the same way that I'm glad that the people who make life-sized LEGO replicas of dinosaurs exist. And neither of them affect my business one way or another.
I don't know the best way to ensure that the best mix of people get their hands on the limited number of attendee badges. I don't know if Hollywood is wasting money marketing at Comic-Con — though even if their panels are all just ultimately fanservice, a horseback joust for the fans to cheer for, I don't see what's so wrong with that. I resent a lot of the inconvenience and expense of the entire rigmarole, not to mention the physical toll it takes on my body. Yet I thoroughly enjoyed myself this year in a dozen different ways.
This is a complicated experience.
Last year I attended my first World Science Fiction Convention, or Worldcon. SDCC was born, forty years ago, out of the fandom community, and was probably patterned a bit after Worldcon (as have most all fan cons been over the last seventy years). Worldcon is nominally a gathering of science fiction fans, but that umbrella spreads to include fantasy, slipstream and horror, steampunk, and similar genres as well. It's a completely volunteer-run organization, limited to a few thousand dedicated attendees, and it moves from city to city every year.
It doesn't have a strong pop-culture component like SDCC or Dragon*Con; it prides itself on being a bit more literary. However, the thing that completely blindsided me (coming from the comic convention world) was the social component of this convention: the programming and the dealer activities all occur during the day, and then when the con ends, the parties begin.
Entire floors of hotels throw open their doors; hallways fill with people engaged in conversation; knots of congoers fill couches in lounge areas. Everyone leaves their badge on after hours — a thing that never happens at comic conventions. And people talk! Pros, fans, writers, editors, readers, vendors — they all just hang out and talk. All night long.
Fan conventions were born out of a need for this connection: before the Internet, before Twitter, even before newsgroups and fanzines, the conventions were what brought like minds together. People showed up to meet other people like them. That is the heart of conventions — finding like minds; seeing something you love and finding other people who love it just as much.
And Comic-Con still has the power to do that. It's by no means the only medium for it, anymore, but there's still few things that can compare to seeing your favorite celebrity in the flesh on a panel, or shaking the hand of a creator you admire, or meeting a fan and making them smile, or finding the one piece of merch that speaks to your interest specifically. Comic-Con still enables that, and I'm privileged to be a part of it.
It is still about comics, hundreds and thousands of them — and the cool thing is that it's about everything else, too.

This series identifies and explains key consumer trends, including emerging trends not covered by other sources. By explaining the underlying drivers of consumer trends, not only how consumers lives are changing but also why, subscribers gain a rich understanding of what changing demographics, tech usage, and consumer shifts will mean for the future of their business.
Delivering insights about how new technologies may shape the future business environment, this series let busy professionals get beyond the churn of daily tech headlines to see technology from a strategic point of view. Subscribers gain valuable perspective on the technologies that will transformand potentially disruptthe global economy.
More and more businesses understand that radical changes are underway in consumer values, business models, and technology. If you organization isnt actively and aggressively planning for the longer-term future, now is the time to start. Dont get blindsided by the future
With immediate access to more than 1,300 reports on a wide variety of topics, clients can quickly get up to speed on many trend and foresight topics. Clients can also focus more of their time on critical thinking and strategic planning and less time on scanning for trends.
You need to look further out to understand the future and give yourself time to act. Unlike trendspotting and cool-hunting firms, our research helps companies look out 5, 10, or even 25 years and apply those insights back to today.
Trend work can invite hyperbole, but Global Lifestyles and Technology Foresight has a clear track record. Since 2002 these projects have continuously provided subscribers with rigorous research of trend and foresight topics without overly optimistic techno-hype. And with 1,300+ reports, its perhaps the longest running and most extensive service of its kind.
Companies need to understand the impact of consumer trends and technology trends in tandem
how technologies impact and alter consumer lifestyles and how consumers affect the development and application of new technologies.
No other company provides a comprehensive, integrated point-of-view of the future that combines both consumer and technology trends like we provide with Global Lifestyles and Technology Foresight.
Most of our research briefs synthesize dozens of sources and provide our point-of-view on the future, but we recognize that there are people all around the world in business, government, think-tanks, etc. who are doing solid foresight work and often have access to unique data. When we find a particularly authoritative forecast from one of these organizations, we create a single-source brief that summarizes and critically analyzes the findings. This is just one more way that the Global Lifestyles and Technology Foresight projects help you understand the forces of change.
While other companies specialize in a particular market or industry, we take a generalist approach, monitoring a wide range of business-critical domains. We take this approach because we believe that most of the opportunitiesand threatsthat a company will face will come from areas outside of their core business.

As a role player, I wish some people would understand that some RPers have things like ADHD,ADD and some even have problems where they can't really function too well with the hands. People with ADHD and ADD sometime have a hard time keeping focused and sitting still for a period of time and others are just disabled. If you are RPing with someone with those things just be patient with them, they will get to you.

Thieves' Gold is a 1918 American Western film directed by John Ford and featuring Harry Carey. The film is considered to be lost.[1]
Thieves' Gold was released as a Universal Special Feature in 1918. It was a 50-minute silent film on five reels, part of the "Cheyenne Harry" series of film featurettes. The original story, "Back to the Right Train" by Frederick R. Bechdolt, was adapted for the screen by scenarist George Hively. This installment of "Cheyenne Harry" won notably negative reviews by critics at the time of its release.[2]
Cheyenne Harry tries to help his outlaw friend Padden evade arrest after Padden has drunkenly shot another man. In the end, the two mismatched friends fight it out, leaving Padden dead. In a romantic subplot, Harry's fiancée Alice leaves him, but finally returns.

A top State Department official has told Emerging Markets that the US remains firm in supporting Mexico in the war on drugs, despite mounting warnings that the countries' joint efforts are failing
The US remains firm in supporting Mexico in the war on drugs, a senior official has said, despite mounting warnings that the countries joint efforts are failing.
The surge in violence this month just makes us more determined to work with Mexican authorities to rein in the scourge of drugs violence that has claimed nearly 20,000 lives in three years, Craig Kelly, a top US State Department envoy for Latin America, told Emerging Markets in an interview.
The violence ratcheted up yet again last week after gunmen hunted down and killed two Americans and a Mexican linked to the US border consulate in lawless Ciudad Juarez.
Kelly said that a change in strategy under which the US has helped Mexico on counter-narcotics training, equipment and intelligence is unnecessary.
Violence is increasing because Mexico has ramped up efforts to deal with drug gangs, he said. But we can take heart by looking at other countries like Colombia, to realize that if you keep at it and youre firm, you can have success. Were in this for the long haul.
Kellys comments come ahead of a meeting next week between senior US and Mexican officials to assess a $1.3 billion aid package designed to help Mexico fight drug cartels.
The message from Mexico City and Washington is that, far from proving that policies are failing, the heightened violence of recent weeks shows that the cartels are becoming ever more desperate as a result of the crackdown.
But that mantra is wearing thin, especially with innocent victims now increasingly being caught up in the violence, and analysts say it is time for a radical rethink.
Eric Olson, a senior security adviser at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, said: Its clear that simply deploying the military is not enough. There needs to be a new, more nuanced strategy that focuses on institutional things like the police and judicial system, investing on social development in critical areas like Ciudad Juarez and better deploying their law enforcement capabilities.
Kelly says the joint anti-drug strategy is already broad-based, but that Washington is always willing to consider a new tack. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton travels to Mexico this week with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair, to discuss the next step.
Mexico insists that the drug violence is far from widespread and limited to a few hotspots, but the government is not taking any chance here in Cancun. Heavy artillery mounted on army Humvees surround the conference center where the IDB meeting is being held.
IDB President Luis Moreno, whose legacy at the bank and re-election in July is riding on capitalization, said the bank would be in serious trouble without agreement on a capital injection. It would put us in a very difficult situation. We could only continue to approve projects until the middle of this year.
The Russian government's decisive moves in annexing Crimea and fomenting unrest in the Ukraine have fuelled fears among neighbouring states with large Russian-speaking populations
An imminent signing of a $500m loan by Uralkali, the world's largest potash producer, has not convinced bankers that Russia's frozen international loan markets is anywhere near thawing out
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is staging its annual meeting in Warsaw in a year that marks a number of important anniversaries for Poland, Eastern Europe and for the EBRD itself
Greek high yield booms
The decision by a joint venture between Russia and China to invest up to $2bn in key infrastructure projects will relieve the pressure on the Russian government to attract funds to offset the massive flight of capital
The EBRD will take on Libya as a member this week but analysts are warning that the multilateral may be biting off more than it can chew
The banking sector is not really intermediating resources. There is no lending going on.
