At the Moment as I have not seen the last chapter and knowing what I do. Dean existed and rose to become a category 5, I cannot see how this could be a cliff hangar. I can see no sucessful ending. This I think sums the situation up but there is no light house, I can see for people who cannot see it http://www.leoslyrics.com/runrig/lighthouse-lyrics/ Plug for www.runrig.co.uk

Have you read the epilogue?

Good memory Jan! It does explain a lot of CJ's early goathood and why he is the way he is. Unfortunately I can't find it Has the goat eaten it ?

Just wait, There is a whopping big "slightly stressful incident" coming which will beat the past. and I do not see any peacefull exit ! ? !

This is a cheaper, simpler version of a helmet mounted display and infra red cameras mounted on fireman's helmet. http://www.baesystems.com/product/BAES_020200/q-sight-helmet-mounted-displays?_afrLoop=762428511448000&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null&baeSessionId=35nFRtVd3gKnkxz7QGhh3z8tmCqDcvVF14qJCTcYy2hZn1JGlnVg!-65502413#%40%3F_afrWindowId%3Dnull%26baeSessionId%3D35nFRtVd3gKnkxz7QGhh3z8tmCqDcvVF14qJCTcYy2hZn1JGlnVg%2521-65502413%26_afrLoop%3D762428511448000%26_afrWindowMode%3D0%26_adf.ctrl-state%3D15dkaszxnk_4 Plug If you have the computer backup and data base, you can find you way around buildings, recognise objects, or around cities, or countries. Hardware wise, the technology has existed for years, Google has just simplified drastically. The real problem has been the data base, and computer backup. Google has that data base so that, you can actually use it for something useful. Being first in, using data from your user, could increase data base and keep lead over other suppliers. Today, I am told on mobile phones, mapping is the most used facility. If, when you can co-ordinate photo recognistion of places and streets with that mobile phone display, you will probably have a winner

Life is Life Each of us beta readers has a small but vital part to play. We all have a life and responsibilities Outside! In the past, I have been one of those asseholes. Why because like a lot of people I cannot use personal e mails at work. And I have been away from my home computer, I have been on Holiday, I have been away on company business, I have had to deal with family responsibilities, Busted Computer, The customer want it now not in six months as agreed and I have been too tired, My available time on the intranet has not meshed with CJ, Currently I have waited twice as you have for my weekly fix! Life is Life, Smile and think of England(something pleasant? your responsibilities?)

Having been a sufferer of USA hotels and restaurants for many years, you cannot avoid using a credit card. They will accept nothing else. Offer cash and you will get a not very polite refusal. And except in some European countries where it is banned. How many people realise how easy it is for any financial institute to EXCHANGE information, After a business trip to the USA, American Express (Business card) know how much I spend on my personal visa/mastercard credt cards and debit cards, and I assume that my personal bank know how much went on my business card, although there are too polite to let it slip,

I heard from C J on the 29th dec when he was still recoverying from a cold, but did not have the Norovirus bug. He had just started up again on the next chapter, which would be a nice quiet passage chapter (My quote full of stressful moments). As on this moment I have not received the next chapter, but having had a look at the local weather, he may be snowed in with no internet. PS do not go to the Canaries when CJ is there, you are bound to have an interesting time.

As this is Tom Bawcock's Eve this is my song of the moment and a safe passage to fishermen and sailors

CJ's Three Apples mmm maybe!?, but 1001 more than average stressed moments. That would stress the Cliff Jumper too much, it would certainly cause me too much stress.

while the cats AWAY. it is PRELUDE TO BETRAYAL not Prelude to A Betrayal, and BETRAYAL, Does that mean a betrayal or two or three or more?

Mmmm Prompt 174 The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris

This is my opinon, and not necessary anybody elses. Quote from CJ "yes, you're right. I'm a detail nut. Let's take the journey in through The Rip; That's not really plot relevant, and though there's a few clues and forshadowing in it, not much, and nothing that couldn't have been slipped in elsewhere. " The Rip is the most complex and difficult stretch of water in the world. It is the only place which has a course which not only tell you how to navigate the Rip but takes you out and shows you on the water, in fact for some classes of yachtsmen it is is compulsory. To leave the passage out, and only give a sentence, would be to ignore a great big hole in the road. A story loosely based on sailing ignoring the second worst Harbur entrance in the world! In fact CJ gave only a tenth of the detail I thought necessary to give a feel of the task. So with data available, I rewrote the passage. It came to 5 pages. That was too much obviously and it was so complex that even a yachtsman about to enter the Rip would be bored to tears and not understand the Rip. The second and third attempts reduced it to a page, but it was packed with detail. From this exercise, I came to the conclusion, that CJ was about right, for the majority of readers, and that some would feel it was not complex enough and others too too much, But in the end I thought it was about right. The other conclusion was that I thought the Sydney Yacht Club was right in saying that the only way to explain, was to take people on the water and show them.

Oh yes it does, I was!

Well, it is obvious to me, it has to be with my name, the answer is a Red Rose.

In a monohull I would agree wholehaertingly with you that heeling is the term when the wind is pushing the boat over. And agree with you that generally heeling is good Listing is BAD. And therefore I think listing is the term in a cat which is not designed to have a heel. I have not been on a cat that big which has gone mono, I do not know any body that mad (whoops keen), but my experience definitely says list (BAD) is the right word. sails flying, yes the correct term would be sails set, but this is where CJ magic comes in that sails flying is more descriptive and not incorrect. I have never heard of a sail call flying sail. Flying jib, flying topsail yes. Flying describing that there is no boom or mast or rigid object attached to the sail. "Let Fly" or let sheets fly is the common expression to let go of the sheets (ropes that go to the rear end of a sail) so you can have flying sheets. Now I have used a Gollywobbler, and I believe it is a very approppiate name. But this was on a two masted schooner, and it was a four sided ballon (spinaker type) sail set from the top of the masts and going down the deck, and the foremast sail was not use. As it was held only by the four corners, it was very unstable. "expletive deleted it wobbles about" But this was in the west country, and they do have some peculiar terms. Now I wonder where I heard "Gallopping Girty!

Normally, stainless steel has a little magnetism, but classicaly if you work it (machine it, form it using a press, etc) the basic magnetism of the iron re inserts itself. In the UK , a classic example is a stainless sheet on a frig is not magnetic, but a sink where the metal has been formed is. But the common trick is to place a magnet behind the sheet. this works but not as well as black iron (raw iron)

ouch
