Damn Got the date wrong, but I searched and no major earthquakes in Haiti or Jamaica in 2007 -
Circumnavigation (99+53) The Grand and Deadly Design
wildone replied to C James's topic in C James Fan Club's Topics
A few thought : Bridget mentioned that her thinking always treats an obstacle as an opportunity. Funny thing is, so far Trevor has done the same with his thinking since day one. I wonder if Bridget has considered this possibility that she is definitely attacking herself? The honeymoon package was definitely a setup by Bridget. Joel's Grandfather was the willing sucker and Gonzales failed in his tracking of the owner of the travel agency. Our often traveled Goat is a bit of a world traveler, so I am sure he has personally been at the edge of Lover's Leap in Jamaica to give such a historical and descriptive view to the us. Nothing that could be down from pictures. This means our Goat's constant moaning of never going near cliffs is in fact a lie. CJ has been around more cliffs than flies to fresh poop Correct me if I'm wrong, but the huge Haitian earthquake (7.0) was on January 12, 2010. If Bridget and The First Among Equals are in Haiti in August, the island is still swamped with Military from the US and many other countries. Wouldn't this be a bad place for her to be hiding out other than being spitting distance from Jamaica and Cuba? Trevor has now reveled to Frank about the hidden gold. Frank took time to explain Arnold choose his words very carefully and that the gold did in fact makes SOME of his words make more sense, but not them all. As far as I recall, Trevor has not turned over the Haggis recipe to anyone (may have mentioned it) as of yet. I'd say that the Haggis recipe is the final clue that Frank needs to find the hidden meaning in Arnold's tape and come up with the solution that we are all hoping for...a way to bring Bridget down and ensure Trevor, Shane, Lisa and Joel all can live normal lives. Think Trevor, Think Thanks for the chapter CJ -
With two days left in North America and only one in Australia, I thought I would remind everyone of the 'Wear Pink' day on Wednesday February 27th. This is a passive way to step up and say all bullying is unacceptable!! Anti Bullying Day Make sure you all wear your best pink shirt or whatever else you are willing to wear

I do believe I warned everyone August 2013 was more realistic

LOL Are you a lawyer by chance?

I understand a lot of what James has said, my first bf turned out HIV+, I experienced a lot of hate and bigotry in school...but a lot of good things happened to me too. Would I take the pill, no. I think of the journey I have taken since I was around six when I first figured out that I like other boys, to when I was ten when I found out what gay was, to the years of hardship and disappointment that I had in myself through my teens, then the living two complete and separate lives through my twenties that never intersected, to coming out in my thirties and finding that my family and friends didn't really care and being able to live one life. The journey has been long and tiresome, but I am proud to say I'm gay

I'm not claiming to be an expert in the least. My newest desktop has Windows 8 and I've had it for 3 months now. I'm mixed on my reaction to it. Since I run dual monitors I don't have the ability to 'slide' items and it appears the mouse doesn't replace a finger. I really miss the Start button. I found the added search in the start menu in Vista was very simple to use. Now the charms bar I search something and sometimes I have to search in File, Apps, Settings. One short cut for easy access that I learned to access a lot of information (Programs and Features, Power Options, Event Viewer, System, Device Manager, Disk Management, Computer Management, Command Prompt, Command Prompt (Admin), Task Manager, Control Panel, File Explorer, Search, Run, Desktop) are all easily accessible by moving the pointer off the bottom left corner of the screen and right clicking. This has made some aspects of Windows 8 a bit more bearable now

Russian meteor shower causes blast; hundreds injured
wildone replied to JamesSavik's topic in The Lounge
I watched a whole hour show on the Discovery Channel on the meteorite and the asteroid which came in closer than a lot of the communication satellites to earth. NASA as well as others track asteroids that may have impact with the earth. The meteorite was a surprise, but not unexpected as they usually burn up earlier. Here is the good news, in 2004 an amateur discovered an asteroid and predicted possible impact with the earth on Friday July 13th 2029 (ironic, the Friday the 13th). NASA confirmed the data and agreed that it is possible. The bad news,they also concluded a 1 in 37 chance of collision with the earth -

"A rose by any other name is still a rose" -William Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet 1600 AD "A Cliffhanger by any other name is still a Cliffhanger" -Wildone in CJ's Forum at Gay Authors Feb 12, 2013 AD Come on guys and gals, that was definitely a CLIFFHANGER!!!! Also, it puts him in the forefront of the 2013 Readers Choice Awards for King of Evil Cliffhangers! For anyone who needs clarification about how many chapters are outstanding, please see CJ's original post and then the one I helped him out with here Benji, I would say that I'm pretty sure that the rival cartel's gang members are about to create a blood bath at the Restaurant, the old wedding location. The reason I say that is the spotter that Bridget talked to was on an encrypted line, while Xavier, aka Bruno, talked on a normal cell phone to each of the gang members. This was all heard by the cell tower that the police had overtaken. At the new wedding location there is only 3 FBI agents as told by the narrator. Gonzales is ready for the bloodbath, the rival gang has been duped into causing the blood bath, yet Bridget saw through Gonzales' plan is now all we have to do is wait to see what Bridget has in plan for the actual wedding site. The thing is that she hasn't revealed how many people are there except for her informant that is now at the new site. One encouraging thought...Bridget told the informant to capture Trevor and Shane alive, the rest are collateral damage. So Bridget's people, not the rival cartel's gang members, are not to shoot either of them. -

Just a little insurance policy for you CJ -
So I saw this article today and thought I'd bring it up: http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/nfl-considered-widening-playing-field-35-feet-may-190404198--nfl.html Personally being a huge fan of the Canadian Football League and the larger field I think it could add a lot more action to the NFL game. After watching the Superbowl this year, I just don't see why anyone would argue against a larger field which would make more passing (like the fourth quarter of the Superbowl) and more exciting game. One argument was brought up that players tackling would have more field to get up a full head of steam. I don't see the wider field causing that, or the fact that you have the fair catch rule which I don't think you will be getting rid of any time soon. Up here there is no fair catch rule (and an additional ten yards to the length-110 yards) but there is a no yards rule. Essentially the kicking team has to yield ten yards to the receiver or it is a penalty. Exceptions to onside kicks. So what do you think? Not going to happen anytime soon but would you like to see a bit larger field and possibly more passing because of it? Just for your info, here is the major differences between the CFL and NFL: -3 down football -110 yard X 63 yard field -defence lines up one yard back of the line of scrimmage -no fair catch rule (instead a ten yard rule) -scoring all the same except (which I'd like to change up here) you get a single point for missed FG -goal posts on the goal line -20 second play clock instead of 40 -rules difference making it much harder to run down the clock. 3 min rule should mean each side should have another possession up here

I was thinking that she has 3 more kicks at the cat. If cat's have nine lives, lets count: 1) Falling overboard in the Atlantic 2) Suez Canal 3) Off the Coast of Somalia 4) Pirates in the Indian Ocean 5) Basingstoke in WA 6) Geraldton 7) Gray (Graeme) I'd say if Trevor is the cat, Bridget might be successful on the 3 try still to come -

A slight twist on Eggs Benedict for Breakfast (and a great way to bypass the poaching of eggs!!) Scotty's Nest Eggs Ingredients: Each Nest: 2-3 thin slices Black Forest ham 1 egg 1 Tbsp. cream 15 mL (Half and Half works) 1 heaping Tbsp. grated Swiss cheese 25mL sprinkle of dried basil English muffin Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 deg.F (180 deg.C). Grease large muffin tins or use cooking spray. Line with ham and break egg over top. Add cream and sprinkle with cheese and basil. Bake 12-15 minutes. Serve on half a toasted English muffin. (Place water in any unused muffin cups to prevent damage.) Separately make Hollandaise Sauce to spread over the top. The great thing about this is you can make one, two, or up to twelve depending if it is just yourself or others as well. Quick, easy, and a bonus for anyone who struggles with eggs

Circumnavigation (99+50) Countdown to Doomsday
wildone replied to C James's topic in C James Fan Club's Topics
CJ has said in the past that we can rest assured that anything the narrator says is true. Only what the characters say or feel can be brought into question. Although hard to admit, I believe CJ would never break this golden rule of narration -
My heart goes out to you Daphne and your friends . I can't imagine what your friend is going through and it would be silly of me to try to believe I could. Two things came to light while reading through the thread that you might want to consider. First is that this is effecting you and the other friend but not to the degree of the friend is the victim. Don't lose sight of your own well being. A lot of decisions will probably be made in the next couple of days that you may or may not agree with. Be supportive but don't forget that you yourself may need some counseling to negotiate your way through this quagmire of feelings and thoughts. Second thing, I know a lot of the bars here in Canada now have CCTV in them in public areas. I also know that GB also is the leader in the world for cameras. Even if she doesn't want to press charges or report it, a phone call to the pub to see if they have video of the evening in question could be beneficial if at a later time you may need it. Why I say sooner then later is that with the modern recorders, they do 'overtape' disc content after certain time periods. Thanks for sharing with us all, not sure you will get the answers you need, but you are talking about it which is a good thing

Circumnavigation (99+50) Countdown to Doomsday
wildone replied to C James's topic in C James Fan Club's Topics
I can't help to think that there is something with the HAGgis that will be the clue that Gonzales and Frank will have lightbulbs go off and come up for a final solution to eliminating Briget and the Cartel in one swoop. If only there was something the would really anger the Bahamian Government to ask for help in the capture and deportation of Bridget to the US. Even if she goes to Cuba, I don't think the Cubans are going to be very cooperative to help out the US. I'm stumped right now Even if Grundig is part of Bridgets inner circle of contacts, he would be so low level, not much could be done to him to get to her . The only other clues that may help in the end that I can help to think may help is the viewing of the tape by Gonzales and Tittle, the brick of gold Arnold left behind, the doll left behind and the 30-06 rifle. I still think the Haggis receipe is he final piece of the puzzle that is needed. The only other possibility could be that Trevor or Shane missed something in the fake beam in Kookabura. Possibly if the boys tell Uncle Greg to have Ned remove the beam and the find something else (like a code breaking sheet) there may be hope yet. Thanks for the chapter again CJ -
Good chapter Krista Too bad I never saw it before you posted it

Having the a similar situation here in Canada, with Quebec deciding on separation every so often, and nearly winning it the last time they tried...the government of the day created the Clarity Act to which they solicited the Supreme Court of Canada to more or less recommend the rules for deciding succession. I really don't know if it went so far as to say what debt, what assets of the Canadian Government, etc. would Quebec get, but it did state that 50% plus 1 was not enough to begin the succession process. Currently we have a 'National' party in Canada as the official opposition yet over half of their seats are within Quebec, so they are turning their backs on the rest of the country and proposing the axing of the Clarity Act and bring in the 50% plus 1 rule to appease the separatists in Quebec. I'm sure with a few Quebec members here at GA they will have an entire opposing view of what is going on, but that makes our country great, we can argue and still not be mad at each others

I'm no good at code breaking but I wonder if the Roast HAGgis has any indication of the code. I looked for something like the 7th, 8th and 9th letter of each ingredient meaning something since they were capitalized. But all i get is slu sto she sli res rou edo dfr oon and then gave up
