Chosen Ones
Chosen Ones by Alister E. McGrath.
This is a children's fantasy by a popular Oxford theologian. Its author would seem to have an agenda: guide children towards virtue, and ultimately towards Christ. Of course it reminds us of C.S. Lewis's Narnia books, and that is a good thing, because books like those ones are needed nowadays. It is also the first book in a series called the Aedyn Chronicles.
I hesitated to buy Chosen Ones. Everything about it seemed right – Christian theologian, children's fantasy in the tradition of the Chronicles of Narnia, evocative cover art, nice descriptive prose (if the sample was anything to go by), a plot that paralleled Biblical events. The thing that made me cautious was the number of negative reviews. It does not automatically follow that if one is a Christian and a theologian one can write fiction (especially children's fiction, which is harder to do). Perhaps that was the case here: perhaps McGrath was dabbling in a mode of writing that didn't really suit him. Anyway, I eventually took the chance when I saw it on sale, and I'm glad I did.
I think the most useful thing I can do in setting out my thoughts here is to talk about the book's positive and negative aspects. I'll begin with the good things. For a while (for about the first third) I had the same feeling I get from reading a Narnia book. It was old-fashioned in a good way, with two rather well-brought-up children (yes, there are two children) who resemble the Pevensies of Narnia. They are not corrupted by modern values or technology, and the setting of the book could very well be mid-20th century (though this isn't specified). Julia combines aspects of Lucy and Susan, and Peter resembles (at different times) Edmund and Peter (Peter Pevensie, I mean). They are both interesting and likeable, and it is their familiarity that makes them so endearing, one might say. The masked villains are also well done and suitably menacing, so no complaints there. Another strength of the book is the prose. McGrath writes very well – in fact he writes in a way strongly reminiscent of Lewis. The journey to the castle is described with the sort of feel for landscape and nature we see in Lewis's Prince Caspian. A lot of the things that happen reminded me of different episodes in the Narnia Chronicles, but for me that was a good thing. A bit like revisiting an old friend, or reading a lost Narnia book that has recently been unearthed. The other great quality the book has is the theological underpinning. McGrath's theological expertise gives the books a depth one does not normally find in children's books, and there were several lump-in-the-throat moments.
Some of the strengths I mentioned above might to some feel like weaknesses. The lack of originality (yes, it feels like a Narnia book), the old-fashioned feel of the setting and characters, the detailed descriptions of place. Not for me though. In my opinion, there is only one thing holding Chosen Ones back from being a great children's fantasy, and that is this: there isn't enough fantasy in it. Lewis gave us wonders in every chapter: talking beasts, magic, monsters, creatures from Northern and Classical myths. McGrath gives us a medieval setting that is populated almost exclusively by humans. There is at least one animal that shows intelligence but on the whole there is very little to get excited about. The plot is also rather simple, but I do not feel this is a deal breaker: it is the serious lack of the fauna of a fantasy world that drags the thing down. McGrath writes so well that one feels he could write a great Narnia-style tale if he tried again and remembered to put a lot of fantasy into it. The theology is without fault, and his prose and descriptions are strongly reminiscent of Lewis, so give it another go, I say. Having said all this, I realise there are two more books in the series and perhaps these include more fantasy elements.
Even with the significant flaws described above I still enjoyed Chosen Ones. Taken as a medieval adventure tale (and yes, it could very well be a time travel story into England's medieval past) it works well enough. I would recommend it for the values it promotes and the quality of the writing, and fans of Narnia will get that familiar feeling that they get from reading Lewis. But it could have been great, and I hope McGrath gives us more fantasy next time.

Congratulations to Odette Battarel, from South East London Vision (SELVis), for placing third in her category in the inaugural International Blind Tennis Tournament.
Odette, the Chief Executive of SELVis – a part of the Pocklington family – represented France in the women's B3 singles category in the tournament in Spain earlier this month, placing third.
Odette was one of 70 players from 14 countries, including six players from Great Britain, who took part in the tournament.
Two Great Britain players, Chris Baily and Brenda Cassell, returned home with trophies also. Chris won the men's B3 singles and Brenda finished runner-up in the women's B2 singles.
Organised by the International Blind Tennis Association, the tournament took place in Alfaz del Pi in Spain from May 6-11.
Blind Tennis, also known as Soundball Tennis, is played on a smaller court than standard tennis with a sponge ball that makes a noise when it bounces. The standard rules of tennis apply with a few modifications, including being allowed three bounces if you're totally blind and two bounces if you're partially blind.
In the lead up to the tournament Odette said she was honoured to be selected to play for France.
"This is the very first International Blind Tennis Tournament. It means the start of the road towards the Paralympics. I hope that one day this sport will be Paralympic," she said.
Odette has been playing blind tennis for 10 years and has helped introduce the sport to Germany and Ireland.
She said the sport was a great way to keep fit, meet new friends and meet players from all over the UK.
"The international event will help promote the sport and hopefully encourage more players to take it up, more coaches to coach, and more funding to help with the cost of running local clubs."
Congratulations to Odette and all of the players who competed in the first International Blind Tennis Tournament!

Implementing a Debugging Agent for the GNU Debugger
TODO: this article is still undergoing revision and proofing.
Despite its low cost and popularity as a workstation debugger, the GNU debugger, gdb, is an extremely powerful and flexible tool for embedded systems development. The following paragraphs describe how the GNU debugger works, and how you can implement a remote debugging agent that allows gdb to debug application code running on your embedded system. The text introduces the basics of gdb's communications protocol, then provides example implementations for the commands gdb needs to step code, read and write registers, and handle breakpoints.
What is Gdb?
The GNU Debugger, gdb is the GNU software debugger. It is an extremely versatile and powerful application that can be used to debug sophisticated programs written in C, C++ and several other programming languages. Gdb is most often used for debugging programs running on the same machine as the debugger itself.
Gdb provides a "remote target" capability that, when properly accommodated in a device, allows source level debugging across a serial port or network connection to any microprocessor GNU supports (more than 30 to date), even if the target microprocessor is different than the one running the debugger.
The key to integrating this capability into an embedded system lies in knowing gdb's Remote Serial Protocol (RSP), and understanding how to implement a debugging agent: a small program running on the target hardware that helps gdb carry out requests to monitor and control the application being debugged.
Gdb in Action
Figure 1 is a partial screen capture of a typical debugging session. It lists the commands used to initiate communications with the debugging target, download a program, and debug it. Commands to step code, set breakpoints and display data are also shown.

An Overview of Remote Debugging
If you are familiar with the concept of a rom monitor, or you have ever used a typical, commercially prepared microprocessor evaluation kit, then you have already experienced the concept being discussed here. The important idea is that, in such a setup, there is always a small amount of code resident in the debugging target, usually in a ROM or flash chip. This code, which is the monitor itself, boots the target hardware and then waits until the debugger tells it what to do next.
In GNU lingo, the small bit of code that lives on the debugging target is called a debugging agent (or, sometimes, a debugging stub), and its job is to implement debugger commands to read and write memory, query and set register values, and run the program being debugged. The debugging agent also tells the debugger about unexpected events like breakpoint hits, and application errors like an attempt to divide by zero.
In general, what happens during a debugging session is this: the debugger sends the debugging target a series of memory writing commands that transfer the application to be debugged from the development host to the debugging target (this step is not necessary if the application has already been installed in the target system by some other means). After that, the debugger tells the target to jump to the memory location that is the start of the program.
The running application encounters a breakpoint, and the debugging agent notifies the debugger that the application has been paused and is now waiting for further instructions. The debugger may peek and poke memory to discover and assert the values of registers and data, but eventually it tells the target to resume the application. At some point, either the application ends or the debugger tells it to go away.
On a typical day, shortly thereafter this cycle repeats itself.
How Do We Do That?
The implementation of a debugging agent requires a lot of information about the target processor's debugging capabilities, and the communications protocol used by the debugger. Most processors feature opcodes and hardware for providing breakpoints and catching exceptions generated by the program; the communications protocol for the debugger, in the case of gdb, is well documented and freely available.
The following sections describe gdb's debugging agent communications protocol, and provide examples on how to use the features of the Hitachi SH-2 microprocessor family to implement a debugging agent.
The GDB Remote Serial Protocol
The GDB Remote Serial Protocol (RSP) is the lingua franca between gdb and a debugging target. It defines messages for reading and writing data, controlling the application being debugged, and reporting application status.
The RSP uses plain ASCII characters for most messages. Messages begin with a dollar sign ($), and end with a gridlet (#) and an ASCII encoded, 8-bit checksum. Put another way, each message looks like this:
$ <data> # CKSUM_MSN CKSUM_LSN
where <data> is a string of ASCII hex [0-9,a-f,A-F] characters, and
CKSUM_MSN and
CKSUM_LSN are ASCII hex bytes representing the most and least significant nibbles of the packet's eight-bit checksum.
When a message is sent, the receiver acknowledges with either:
+ if the received checksum was correct, and the receiver is ready for the next packet; or,
- if the received checksum was incorrect, and the message needs to be retransmitted.
A debugging stub responds to messages from gdb with either data, an
OK, or an error code. When gdb receives an error code, it reports the number to the user via the gdb console, and then halts whatever activity is currently in progress.
The following sections summarize and provide examples of the essential RSP commands. If the command is issued by gdb, then the examples show that command packet on the first line; the second line is the target's response. If the packet is documented as a target response, then the first line of the example is a command (perhaps one of many) that gdb may issue to elicit that response.
Read Registers (g)
This command is issued by gdb to request the values of all target registers. The target replies with a single message containing ordered register values packed end-to-end. The ordering of the values is hardcoded in the debugger, and is target specific. The ordering is
documented in the target specific configuration files in the
gdb/config/ directory of gdb's source code.
[gdb] $g#67
[target] +
Write Registers (G)
This command is issued by gdb to assert the values of all target registers. The target replies with
OK. The ordering of the values is identical to the ordering used in the Read Registers (g) command.
[gdb] $0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef...#xx
[target] + $OK#9a
Note that this command does not necessarily cause immdediate modification of target register contents. Consider the case where the target's stack pointer value is modified by this command: such action would likely crash the debugging agent and/or the application being
debugged. Instead, the typical implementation stores values received by this command in a data structure called a register file; these values are placed into physical registers as the debugging agent transfers system control back to the application.
Write Register n (P)
This command is sent by gdb to set the value of a particular register, esp. the program counter. The register is enumerated per the Read Registers (g) command. The target replies with
As with the other commands that modify register values, this command does not cause modification of physical register values until the debugging agent transfers control back to the application.
[gdb] $P10=0040149c#b3
[target] +
Read Memory (m)
This command is sent by gdb to request the contents of target memory. The target responds with the data, sorted in order of increasing byte address. The target is responsible for handling any alignment or other access restriction issues.
Arguments are the memory address, and the number of bytes. The example reads two bytes from address
[gdb] $m4015bc,2#5a
[target] +
Write Memory (M)
Sent by gdb to set the values of a region of target memory. The target must deal with any alignment or access restriction issues, esp. writing single bytes to control registers that have fixed multibyte widths. Such accesses would not normally be encountered during a program download, but may occur if a startup script or user at the debugging console tries to configure target peripheral control registers.
Arguments are the memory address, length of the data in bytes, and the data. Data is sorted in increasing byte order. Target responds with
The example sets the byte at address
0x4015cc to
0xc3, and the byte at address
0x4015cd to
[gdb] $M4015cc,2:c320#6d
[target] +
Query Section Offsets (qOffsets)
This command is sent by gdb to determine what relocation, if any, the target applies to applications and data during the download process. Unused in typical embedded systems, recognition of this command improves gdb startup performance by avoiding a timeout delay waiting for a response.
There are no arguments to this command. Target responds with the offsets it applies to the application's .text, .data and .bss sections, all of which are typically zero.
[gdb] $qOffsets#4b
[target] +
Set Thread (H)
Sent by gdb to constrain future commands to the thread specified in the arguments. Particularly important for thread-aware debugging in applications that utilize an RTOS. The thread number is user-specified, and usually maps directly to a thread or task identifier in the application's operating system.
In non-multithreaded applications, or applications that can stop all threads when a breakpoint is encountered, it is safe to leave this command either unimplemented, or implemented as a do-nothing.
The lone argument to this command is the thread number; if the thread number specified is -1, then gdb is requesting that any thread-specific capabilities in the debugging agent be disabled, i.e. "apply the following to all threads". The target replies with
[gdb] $Hc-1#09
[target] +
Step (s)
Sent by gdb to request that the debugging agent step one machine instruction. This command has one optional argument: the address of the instruction to step. There is no return message from the target, except for the message acknowledgement.
[gdb] $s#73
[target] +
After sending this command, gdb waits for the target to indicate that it has stopped at a breakpoint, encountered an exception condition, or terminated the program; this response will come in the form of one of the target responses described in the following sections. If the user presses a CTRL-C at the gdb console, gdb sends a ^C (\003, ASCII
ETX) to the target, in an attempt to interrupt the running application. The target may choose to ignore the request.
Continue (c)
Sent by gdb to instruct the target to continue program execution. An optional argument specifies the address to resume at; if this argument is omitted, the target resumes at the current Program Counter.
As with the Step (s) command, gdb waits for the target to indicate that it has stopped at a breakpoint, encountered an exception condition, or terminated the program. If the user presses a CTRL-C at the gdb console, gdb sends a ^C to the target. The target may choose to ignore the request.
[gdb] $c#63
[target] +
Report Target Status (?)
Sent by gdb to request target status, esp. during initial serial link setup. Target responds with a signal identifier as per TODO Section 5.12 , or an expedited message that contains the signal identifier plus register values, as per TODO Section 5.13.
[gdb] $?#3f
[target] + $S05#b8
Terminate Application (k)
Sent by gdb to instruct the target to terminate the application, esp. when gdb itself exists or disconnects from the target. The target may implement this command as a forced reset, a do-nothing, or something in between. The target responds with an
[gdb] $k#6b
[target] + $OK#9a
Target Status Response (S)
Sent by the target in response to a Report Target Status command, at the occurrence of a breakpoint, in response to an exception condition, or upon application termination. Gdb does not send a reply to this message, other than acknowledgement.
The message's single argument is the signal number, encoded in a two-byte hex format. Signal numbers are specified in
gdb/target.h, the enumeration
enum target_signal.
[gdb] $?#3f
[target] + $S05#b8
Expedited Target Status Response (T)
Sent by the target in response to a Report Target Status command, at the occurrence of a breakpoint, in response to an exception condition, or upon application termination. Semantically equivalent to the Target Status Response message documented in TODO Section 5.12.
The Expedited Target Status Response message is intended to minimize target communications, by eliminating the need for gdb to issue another target request to fetch register values. As such, implementation of this message is optional but recommended, as it improves gdb performance over low-bandwidth and/or high-latency links.
Arguments to this message are a signal number encoded as a two-byte hex number, followed by one or more combinations of a register number, a colon, register data, and a semicolon. Registers are numbered per TODO Section 5.1.
[gdb] $?#3f
[target] +
Console Output (O)
Sent by the target to request output at the gdb console. There is currently no corresponding strategy for gdb to request target console output, or for either gdb or a target to simulate console input.
The argument to this message is a string of data encoded as two-byte hex. Gdb will not display the message until a newline, 0x0a, is received.
The following example sends a "Hello, world!\n" message to the gdb console. Gdb does not respond to this message, other than message acknowledgement.
[target] $O48656c6c6f2c20776f726c64210a#55

Is Emory a party school?
Replies to: Is Emory a party school?
Dude, I didn't say it was wealthy with comparison to other places in the U.S. It is merely relatively wealthy (at least by my standards, I understand many that go here have completely different standards). A large portion of the Emory area is (mainly because it's surrounded by/close to Druid Hills, Buckhead, Virginia Highlands) And I was going to admit it was behind many others in metro Atlanta, but the editing time limit ran its course. Also, Sandy Springs is essentially a suburb. Buckhead also has had a huge influx of new money (though, yes, it still does have plenty old money), as indicated by all of the cookie cutter subdivisions. Both Druid Hills and Buckhead would be considered more historic than many/most parts of Sandy Springs. However, I will concede failure on this one, as Druid Hills is no longer old money, I was simply going by its historical reputation for it which ended several decades ago when the old money left(not shortly after Emory's move to Atlanta. I'd imagine there were other coincidences). You are correct, the old money now resides in Buckhead and Sandy Springs. However, you can tell by the design of the neighborhoods and the architecture of homes that the Hills once had this. The style is more pervasive throughout Buckhead than in Sandy Springs. All 3 areas are beautiful and are to more than a large extent, well-off.
I will, however, agree with everything else you said. My point addressing Emory, and its fits into Atlanta's overall culture was to basically say that the "cultural differences" (again this isn't necessarily a bad thing) that would be seen in Atlanta are not really reflected inside of Emory.
Also, as a person who is from Georgia and who has many family members residing in metro Atlanta (and thus ventures way outside of campus often, and not really into the more elite areas), the cultural differences are perhaps slightly more pervasive than you think. It's just not as pervasive as it would be if you were in say Nashville, Charlotte, or Birmingham. In these places, such differences would be easily noticeable if one were to go to the city center. Not as much the case in Atlanta, so the differences may seem less pervasive due to our location. Gwinett County also has kind of a "suburban cosmopolitan" (quite diverse, partial home of Buford Highway) thing going on. Go to other parts like Henry, Clayton, Dekalb (Southern Dekalb is so much different) , Cobb, Fulton (all 5 major counties of metro area, I think. These are most populous of about 28) or places outside of the perimeter, and boy will the differences become obvious if you don't already know.
Rambling aside, the campus is diverse enough so that the OP need not worry about an overly dominant party scene. That certainly isn't the case here. My 2.5 years experience tells me so.
simplywaiting 50 replies0 threads Junior MemberMy daughters' room mates party in varying degrees, from alot to every now and then. They go out of town on the weekend, do sports, attend local churches and events. If you haven't visited the campus, you should. The campus is a lively place with lots of diversity and the thing that I found when she moved in to her dorm that they had more students volunteer to help people move in than they needed. Many of them gave up their weekend to help those coming in and they started at 5am and didn't quit until around midnight that night. What I have seen is they look out for each other and are concerned for the collective group and not cliques. You could miss out on a great school if you keep such a narrow view.
If you're a big party person you won't like Emory. We don't have a football team and the frats aren't allowed to have Kegs at parties. But I guess you could say it is a party school compared to other top 20 schools. There is a lot of drinking and pot smoking. There are some people who don't party, but I would say most do. You're kind of in an awkward minority if you don't drink at all.
Melanie22 98 replies4 threads Junior MemberWe're not pretentious about physical appearance at ALL. You can dres however you want and nobody is going to judge you, Emory has a reputation for being snotty but it's really not like that at all.
I can't speak about the other schools you named but my best friend goes to Hopkins and it's practically a brothel. Those kids are having parties all the time, sex non-stop, clubbing all the time. I went to visit last Sunday and I saw so many girls getting dressed up and ready to go out, I was shocked because my friends and I would never consider going out a Sunday before classes. Is this the norm? Maybe, maybe not, just simple observations.
Re: Hopkins as a "brothel".
That's got to be a joke. I have a good friend who was in a fraternity at Hopkins. It's a similar culture to Emory. You have people who go out a lot and people who don't. At some point at Emory, you'll probably go out on each of the seven days. When you don't have class til 1 and no exams coming up, why not go out on a Sunday/Monday/Tuesday/any night? It's the only time in your life where you can do things like that with absolutely no consequences. If it's not for you, then great. But you have to expect similar things at practically every school in the country. Most people are in the library on Sunday nights, but those of us that got our work done early were probably in the highlands enjoying the drink specials. Try it, you might like!
I recommend the Highland because of Noche - great special on Sunday nights. The food is quite good for the money as well. And while we're at it - $10 all you can eat tapas at Twist in Buckhead on Sunday nights as well. That's the best deal in Atlanta, no question.
Some people drive a car dangerously, but that shouldn't prevent you from driving a car, if you enjoy driving. Likewise, some people drink dangerously, but that shouldn't stop you from drinking, if you enjoy drinks.
Yeah, that's my point. I wasn't saying that I don't do it. I was just saying that clearly some people don't know how. Again, I prefer house parties so as to avoid paying anything at all. Or going to the club is good because many have nights where one can get in for free if one gets there early enough. In this case, I don't really need to drink b/c often the music/performer is enough. I look for ways to avoid paying (I also don't care for places where I have to where clothes that are too formal, I really don't have the money to buy such clothes) lol. Sometimes me going out doesn't involve drinking at all. It may indeed be as simple as randomly going out on the town to a nice restaurant (but without the formal dress of course) when I have a little money. I'm southern so I like the Tavern in the Highlands. Not horribly priced and pretty good if you are into that type of food (which I am). I generally avoid Buckhead because of the prices, but thanks for the heads up. There are actually some times where I'd rather go out to Dunwoody/Sandy Springs because they have the same restaurants/shopping venues with less inflation of prices. I notice that prices at many Dunwoody/Sandy Springs equivalents (as in to Buckhead) are lower.

ch0iminy 172 replies18 threads Junior MemberEmory's party scene is definitely there. At the beginning of the semester, my hall and I went out pretty much every weekend. There was one point in the semester where I was averaging going out4 nights a week. But that's kinda rare and more towards the beginning of the year. Usually there were about 2-3 frat parties each weekend. Friday's were kinda dead, but Thursdays and Saturdays were crazy. Clubbing is definitely fun...but only when there's an event with lots of Emory kids (COLLEGE NIGHTS! WHOO!)...otherwise, its kinda sketch.
ALTHOUGH partying is big here, academics are even bigger. We work hard during the week/day and play harder during the weekends. That said, I know some people who don't drink and seem to have a perfectly good time as well.
FLIP BURGER IS AMAZINGGGGG! It's kinda small though for the price.

Natalie knew her true identity was exposed and she came to Renee's party prepared. Usually Natalie would be happy to see the girls. She would run up to them and hug them and laugh and mingle with them. All of a sudden she and her fiancee walked in and sat down without even saying hello.
On top of that there was a table full of people that Renee nor her crew ever saw before. Come to find out they were with Natalie G. She brought an entourage which was a dead give away. When thing got heated and Natalie D was about to expose her being a rat to everyone Natalie G made a silent exit.
Nat D ran outside and called Nat G out and she kept on walking.
Wow! With the kind of mouth Nat G has and the fight she had with Renee one would have never thought she would run away from a fight.
Well, one thing is for sure, Nat G might not want to show her face again because she has several targets on her back!

Yesterday, at 11:42am Pacific time the walls started shaking vigorously.
As millions of southern Californians, I wondered what this was about.
My first thought was our beloved neighbor. When he runs up and down the stairs, our condo shakes and reverberates throughout. Perhaps it was his washer or dryer going haywire? Could he be blaring his music LOUDLY, once again?
Uh, no.
This was something more.
An earthquake?
Uh, maybe so.
The last time I was in an earthquake, I lived in a home up Laguna Beach Canyon — on stilts! I had never seen my roommate RUN so quickly to the front door!!
Thus, when the entire room was shaking, I thought to myself, "Maybe I ought to get outside BEFORE the house tumbles as proof it IS an earthquake."
I bolted.
By the time I got to the bottom of the stairs to meet my husband, the shaking stopped.
As timing would have it, I was scheduled to interview best-selling author Cheryl Richardson at 12 Noon. Over 300 people had pre-registered for the call. There was now less than 15 minutes before the call would begin.
Uh, no problem, right?
Except my heart was pounding uncontrollably.
My inner peace quotient was out of reach. In fact, I felt EXACTLY as I did after climbing a 30 foot trapeze platform. You know that feeling? Okay, so maybe you haven't flown on the flying trapeze yet.
But, you know that feeling, where you FEEL okay, but your BODY is sending loud signals that you are NOT okay? Breathing is tight. And, you can't quite shake the pervasive anxiety rushing through your nervous system.
I took the advice of the "trapeze instructor" and did a few breathing exercises, to reconnect to my breath. Deep breath IN. Hold 1 – 2 – 3 – 4. Exhale slowing, and drop your shoulders. I repeated this several times.
Deep breath IN. Hold 1 – 2 – 3 – 4. Exhale slowing, and drop your shoulders.
Deep breath IN. Hold 1 – 2 – 3 – 4. Exhale slowing, and drop your shoulders.
Deep breath IN. Hold 1 – 2 – 3 – 4. Exhale slowing, and drop your shoulders.
Okay. A little better.
It was time to dial into my conference call. Of course, the first time, I received the message, "All circuits are busy." What? Yikes!!! Was I going to be able attend my own live conference call? Gulp.
Fortunately, I got on the line on the second try. Whew.
As hundreds were assembling on the live call, talks about the earthquake started bubbling. Turns out it was centered in Chino Hills at 5.8!! Hearing this ADDED to my own underlying angst, even though I was trying my best to remain calm, cool and collected. (After all, I am an inner peace coach, right? Uh, yeah.)
It was time to start the call. Cheryl Richardson was present and ready.
To start the recording, I attempted to patch Audio Acrobat into the bridgeline, as I've done thousands of times. But, because of the earthquake, I was getting static, thrown off the line, and that annoying "all circuits are busy" message. After several attempts, and a note to my Virtual Assistant to record the call for me, I knew I just had to get started.
As I came back on the call, Cheryl Richardson asked about the earthquake, realizing it had JUST occurred 15 minutes before our scheduled start time.
Grace moved.
Cheryl softly said, "I invite everyone on this call to focus on sending Mary peace, and anyone on the call from that area who might feel their adrenaline system got a little tweaked. Let's just send some really calming energy your way."
By the time Cheryl finished this sentence, I felt instantly transformed.
What is it about RECEIVING loving support from another human being that alters every cell in our body? It's magic.
Her calming presence and the supportive energy of my listeners was just what I needed to reconnect with my own sense of inner peace. It's like basking in the warm sun.
As I recognized this angst for what it was, an adrenaline rush, it disappeared instantaneously.
And, after a deep breath…I stepped into my role as host of "Conversations with the Masters of Coaching," and began the call.
All of this occurred in a matter of 30 minutes.
From peace, to an adrenaline rush, and back to peace. It really got me thinking about the role adrenaline plays in interfering with our inner peace.
And, one of the best remedies of all — is simply LOVE. You simply MUST let it in.
Thank you Cheryl Richardson and all the loving listeners yesterday. I'm so grateful for this "inner peace moment."
BTW, if you weren't on the live call, it WAS recorded by one of the angels listening in. Thank you Martha Carnahan! Just follow the link below. I'm still reflecting on all the wisdom and inspiration Cheryl Richardson instilled during this remarkable one-hour interview.
Did YOUR adrenal system get tweaked yesterday by the earthquake? Or has it been tweaked in the past?
What do YOU do to return back to inner peace? I would love to hear from you.

1 x Finniss River Cuvee Brut
1 x Mumm Cordon Rouge
1 x Casa G Prosecco
Finniss River Cuvee Brut – We believe Finniss River have created the perfect celebratory wine, but you don't need a special occasion to drink it! Clear lime hue with a slightly pale opacity. Aromas of ripe grapefruit and guava, with a note of bush honey. Crisp, dry and refreshing with early season white peaches and a subtle buttery mouth feel.
Mumm Cordon Rouge – Mumm Cordon Rouge champagne is the heartbeat of Maison Mumm. This cuvée is named after its famous red cordon: the red ribbon of the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest civilian honour, which has adorned each bottle since 1876.
Casa G Prosecco – From the heart of classic Prosecco winemaking in the Valdobbiadene DOCG, this Italian Prosecco is a stunning example of true authenticity. Superbly made of The fresh and clean, crisp apple and pear drop flavours.

Guys! We are 55nm from Canadian soil. We do 10nm today. The "Arctic Donkeys" are back to the routine of "push & pull" a boat on the frozen ocean.
The highlight of the day? Tonight, the three of us are inside our sleeping bags eating dinner when Seb suddenly sees something right of the back of the boat.
"Polar bear!!" He jumps in the cockpit with the pepper spray in hand. The bear is 10 feet away. I prepare an extra flare and give it to Eric. Seb sprays straight at him. Off he goes, running in the distance and rolling in the ground. Pepper spray in the nose isn't the best perfume you get.

The other day, I blogged about how easy it was getting a taxi in Dubai – courtesy, Dubai Taxi's Call Centre. Then three days ago, I went to my friend's house in Sharjah to spend the weekend. In the morning, I wanted to return to Dubai, since I had some unfinished business.
Since my friend's sister and her family were visiting him, I didn't want to bother him. So I told him to drop me off opposite Sharjah City Centre, because I figured it would be easy getting a cab there. I was wrong. Whenever I tried hailing a cab, the cab driver would stop in front of me, roll down the glass and ask my destination.
As soon as I said Bur Dubai, he would look at me as if I asked him to drive me to the "House on the Haunted Hill" or as if I just took a huge dump on his girlfriends' chest! Each taxi driver would do the same and then speed off. After trying to hail a cab for about an hour or so, it thought if Dubai had a call centre, shouldn't Sharjah have one? In Dubai, i have seen the companies advertise the call centre's number on the cabs – I figured it would be the same in Sharjah.
I started noting down the numbers on the cabs in Sharjah – I found out that there wasn't any single number for the call centre. Unlike in Dubai, wherein all taxi companies come under one entity called Dubai Taxi, Sharjah was totally different. There were a bunch of private companies involved in the taxi business, with names such as Arabia Taxi, Cars Taxi, and so on.
So I tried Union Taxi's number – 06 5325555 – a guy answered the phone on the other end and said that the call centre was closed due to public holiday. I murmured – what a waste! Don't call it a call centre if it isn't open 24×7!! I then tried Cars Taxi's number – 06 7407070 – don't call this number in your lifetime! They make false promises. I called up the number and a guy answered the phone. He took down my mobile number and told me that a taxi driver will call.
It's been 3 days now and nobody's called yet.

woops seems you had a great week end @ sharjah!
Then how did you came back ????? 🙂
Well, I made a "sad kitten" face to one of the taxi drivers that stopped in front of me. He took pity on me and agreed to drop me home 🙂
i lost a bag in taxi in sharjah2 days ago and dnt know who to call if u could help its greatt !
Today I hopped into a union taxi (U 819 )along with my friend. I have never seen such a dirty cab in my life in the UAE.
I sat next to the cab driver.There has been nasty dust storm in Sharjah since morning.I noticed the front door glass was down and requested the driver to winde up the glass and switch on the a/c.To my surprise he asked me in a rude manner whether I really wanted the a/c to be on.I replied politely that the taxi fare is for the a/c as well.He stopped the car and asked me to pay AED 3.25 and get down.I refused and he moved further ahead and put the a/c on. I made a comment to my friend who was sitting in the rear seat about the driver's attitude in our mother tongue(Malayalam).The driver suddenly put the a/c in full strength.I got really anoyed and asked the driver to stop the vehicle.I paid him AED 5/- and asked for a receipt but he refused to give me one.I called on 06-5325555 and asked for the email address of Union Taxi to lodge a complaint.The man who answered the phone said they do not have an email ID and I have to call them tomorrow 8AM for complaints.

Oppo to soon launch a Gundam Edition smartphone
A collaboration between a smartphone company and another brand for a limited edition device has become a trend nowadays. A special edition smartphone gets launched more frequently now than earlier for the promotion of a particular project.
In a similar move, Oppo is partnering with Gundam and under this collaboration, the company will be launching a special edition smartphone which is expected to be named Oppo Reno Gundam Edition.
However, the company is yet to officially announced this development. But, thanks to the leakster Ice Universe, render of this upcoming smartphone has been leaked online, which revels the phone's design.
It shows that the smartphone will have minimal bezels surrounding the display and will come with a dot-notch or a cut-out on the display for housing the front-facing camera. On the back side, the phone will have a dual camera setup in the top-center position.
The leaked render also reveals the unique back panel design of the smartphone. However, there's no information available about the phone's specifications at this point in time. Since the render has been leaked, we expect the smartphone to go official in the coming weeks.
Oppo recently launched its all-new Oppo Reno series as its new flagship lineup, replacing the decade-old Oppo R-series for the flagship smartphones. So far, the brand the announced three phones in the Reno lineup — Oppo Reno, Reno 10X Zoom Edition, and Reno 5G. Now, information about the upcoming Reno Z have also started surfacing online. As revealed by the trademark application, the company is expected to launch at least five phones in this lineup.

This sweet baby girl was just four days new for her newborn photography session when I met them at their home. I was so in love with the beautiful nursery her mom pulled together. After lots of blue in the house, I hope her big brothers will learn to love pink, but even if they don't start to love pink, there is no doubt that they will protect their little sister and love her to pieces.
I am going to say I am pretty sure they already love her and are watching over her.

Sometimes you look at a court decision and think "How did they get to that?" and sometimes you think "Well that's obviously correct, so why did they appeal?" This is one of the second type.
New Crane Wharf v Dovener is a claim by a landlord against a tenant in a residential block of flats. The landlord wanted access to the flat for some reason (which isn't given in the report) and so made use of a pretty standard clause in the lease, which is a covenant by the Tenant:
3.08 To permit the Lessor and its agents and workmen at all reasonable times on giving not less than 48 hours notice (except in case of emergency) to enter the Demised Premises for [a number of purposes which are not in dispute – presumably inspecting for breaches of covenant or for carrying out repairs etc.]
The Landlord's solicitor wrote on 11th September 2017 requiring T to give L access to inspect the premises on 29th September at 10.30 am. So far so good. They asked T to confirm his agreement to this by 18th September. Again a sensible request. T did not reply. Also a common scenario. But then they made their first mistake – L's agents did not turn up on 29th September and ask to be let in. Instead they carried on writing to T.
They wrote again on 18th January 2018 insisting that T confirm that access would be given by 5pm on 23rd January, or they would make an application to the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) for a declaration that T was in breach of covenant (presumably as a prelude to serving a s146 Notice). This was their second mistake, compounded by not trying to get in on 23rd January either.
Then they made their application to the FTT who threw it out. They held that T had not refused access to L – L hadn't tried to exercise access, and so no breach had occurred.
Now New Crane Wharf (or their representatives) had clearly got the bit between their teeth so it was off to the Upper Tribunal on appeal. L's counsel got off to a bad start when Judge Behrens in the UT cast considerable doubt on whether the letter of 18th January amounted to a notice under cl3.08 at all. It didn't give notice of an inspection, as it didn't give an appointment as such, but is merely a request to T to make an appointment, which isn't what the lease requires.
The other letter of 11th September was however valid. However, as the lease does not require T to allow access earlier than the specified time and date, and as L did not attend at the appointment that they had fixed (and as T said that he was actually there at the time) there was no breach of the covenant and the appeal failed, as did an associated claim for costs by L. The UT did comment that if T had refused permission in advance it might have been reasonable for L not to attend the appointment, but that would depend on the facts, such as the clarity of the refusal, and other circumstances, and didn't apply here.
So it was win-win for the unrepresented T. Not terribly glorious for the legally represented L. Perhaps a lesson that if you get something wrong it is often better to accept it and think of a work-round – in this case just serving another notice and attending their own appointment would have been quite enough to get what L wanted.
And an important decision as it is such a common clause in leases – both residential and commercial – so Landlords and their agents really need to know how it works.
PS – There is now a more detailed note on this case on the Nearly Legal blog.

Through the years Tidewater Custom Modular Homes has provided homeowners with a faster and better overall value home buying experience as compared to traditional home builders. We're very proud of this accomplishment. Advanced modular building technologies are employed in custom-building new homes, with the key word there, "custom". With ever-advancing construction technologies, it is refreshing to see that virtually every imaginable floor plan can now be come to life using the modular home method. With that said, there are many pre-designed modular floor plans that home buyers can choose from including traditional layouts such as two-story homes.
Two-story modular construction is a heavily preferred custom modular home building choice. A key reason for this is the savings per square foot using a smaller footprint. For homeowners who want to maximize the limited size of their lots, a two-story modular home in Charles City, VA can be their best bet.
Aside from maximizing the land area, another reason why many homeowners plan to custom-build a two story modular home is because of privacy. Usually, the second floor is designed to contain all the bedrooms thereby separating them from the clutter and noise of the first floor that contains the living room, kitchen space, and dining area. But of course first-floor master suites are commonly built as well.
Two story modular homes are the path to the best value in new home construction. The materials are bought in bulk and the building process is not deterred by external factors such as material theft and weather conditions. This remains true regardless of which among the modular floor plans are to be custom-built.
To find out more about the other benefits of living in a two-story custom-built modular home, contact Tidewater Custom Modular Homes.

About William Underwood
Underwood holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Eastern Kentucky University (major in painting, minor in drawing), studied life drawing at the Louisville School of Art, and taught art fundamentals as a graduate assistant at Southern Illinois University. In 1995, he obtained a Master of Arts degree from the University of South Florida, and from 1999 to 2001 completed a two year stint as an adjunct drawing and design instructor at a local college. He was the figure drawing instructor at the Gulf Coast Museum of Art in Largo, Florida for many years.
• Drawings.
Underwood's work runs the gamut from traditional black and white pencil landscapes to portraits of people and animals, along with several featuring a fantasy twist. Besides graphite pencils, you will see pieces in color pencils, charcoal, and most recently, scratchboard. Scratchboard is a drawing technique using sharp knives and tools for etching into a thin layer of white clay that is coated with black India ink. As for drawing surfaces, that runs the gamut as well: white illustration board and paper, grey paper, and black paper. Some of the black paper drawings are done with only a white pencil, others use the full range of color pencils.
• Photography.
Underwood's interest in photography dates back to his college days, but this hobby became an obsession in the mid-1990's when he purchased his first large format camera. The work consists primarily Black & White photographs shot with large & medium format film cameras, alongside an ever increasing inventory of digital High Dynamic Range photographs.
Underwood is currently displaying and selling his award winning art at some of the most prestigious shows in Florida.

The Kiss of Life
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" - (Gen.2:7).
"And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life. And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord. And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands, and has stretched himself upon the child: and the flesh of the child waxed warm... And the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes" - (2 King.4:17,32-35).
"And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost" - (Jn.20:22).
The Shunamite woman's son was a type of God's Son, and the miracle birth and miracle resurrection of the Lord Jesus. We sometimes tend to forget that the promises of a miracle birth were shown to us with Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel and Hannah, and both the miracle of birth and resurrection was shown to us with the Shunamite woman's son. There was also a resurrection from the grave. When the bearers of a corpse saw a gang of Moabites, they hastily threw the body into Elisha's tomb and when the corpse touched the prophet's bones, "he revived and stood upon his feet" - (2 Kin.13:21) - (exactly like the two witnesses - (Rev.11:11). The very gospel that we preach is the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ who resurrected from His tomb after burial. It would seem that Elisha, whom God gave a double portion of the Holy Spirit to, was the prophet of resurrection. "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you" - (Rom.8:11).
The Shunamite woman made a prophet's chamber in her home for Elisha to stay and so he wanted to repay her kindness. And he found out that she wanted a child because they had none and her husband was old (Like Abraham and Sarah). Elisha told her she would have a baby in a year, and she did. She had received a prophet in the name of a prophet, and so received a prophet's reward - (Mt.10:41). She built him a place in her house and God built up her house.
Years later when the child was grown, he went out to help his father during the harvest and complained of a headache and said, "my, head, my head," which pointed directly to the Lord Jesus' death on Calvary, the place of the skull, the 'head' place. His father took him home and he died in his mothers' arms. A child of promise, a child of prayer, and given in God's love, and taken away so that God could manifest in him the miracle of resurrection. As God the Father so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son on the cross, and resurrected Him to glory three days later.
She had a strong belief that her child would be raised to life again: like a true daughter of Sarah she accounts "That God was able to raise him up, even from the dead" - (Heb.11:19). By faith - "Women received their dead raised to life again..." - (Heb.11:35) - like Mary's Son, the Lord Jesus. In her faith she makes no preparation for the burial of her son, but for his resurrection, for she "laid him on the bed of the man of God." Then she rode as fast as she could to fetch Elisha.
Elisha found the son on his own bed and shut the door and did the same thing as Elijah did. First he prayed to the Lord, and then he stretched himself upon the dead son and put his mouth to the child's mouth, as if, in God's name he would breathe into him the breath of life - this is God's kiss of life. He put his eyes to the boy's eyes, to open them again to the "light of life." Then his hand on the boy's hands so that the hand of God would heal him. And the child sneezed seven times with his resurrection sneeze. Perhaps when God breathed into Adam His kiss of life, Adam sneezed, which gave rise to the usage of paying respect to those that sneeze by saying "God bless you." And there is no greater blessing from God than His raising us from death unto eternal life exactly like He did with His beloved Son that first Easter. God's love in His Son is the kiss of life - eternal life.
And God had his prophet Elisha perform this resurrection in this particular way to show man about 'artificial respiration,' which is called 'the kiss of life.' Artificial respiration is the technique of forcing air into the lungs when natural breathing is stopped. It is also used when breathing fails to begin in newborn infants. It is done mouth to mouth or mouth to nose and mouth. God's Word teaches men the wisdom of artificial respiration and God also showed us this when He breathed into Adam's nostrils the first breath of human life. Many don't have enough love to give the kiss of life to a dead person. CPR wasn't started in thr U.S. until the 1960's. What an unbelieving waste of human lives.
This is the only 'sneeze' in the Bible and God is showing millions of 'sneezing' allergy people, and all of us who sneeze, that we need to be born again. We need the second breath of life from God the Holy Spirit. After Jesus resurrected from death He said "... He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost" - (Jn.20:22). Judas' betrayal kiss of death was turned into the kiss of eternal life when Christ rose from the dead. The breath of Christ's lips is the kiss of eternal life, not temporary life. God's true CPR is in His son - (Christ - Promises - Resurrection). "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" - (Jn.11:25).
Repent of your sins and believe in Christ in your heart by faith, and you will receive forgiveness of sins and be saved from hell and become a new born again creature in Christ having eternal life.
Receive God's love in Christ who is the kiss of eternal life.

The U.S. Air Force's A-10 Warthogs are conducting an aerial refueling over Syria.
Bet the US didn't get Syrian permission….benefits of being the 'exceptional'. About due time that Syria puts an end to this blatant violation of Syrian sovereignty and International Law.
According to UN silence and ignorance only USA/NATO and Israel have rights to do as their please.Threatening and violating sovereign countries airspaces. Having always problems with other countries internal affairs because of oil and gas and natural resources.
thi is really good plane
Really good plane of the ISIS air force!…2 of them killed more than 50 SAA soldiers during that Deir Ezzor "incident" or that air support incident!
i commented the quality of plane. not politiians, who decided about its use.

On average, we Americans spend 90% of our time indoors. That's nearly 22 hours of the day—typically spent sleeping, working, cooking, cleaning, or curled up on the couch with our loved ones.
And while that number itself isn't necessarily a problem, it turns out the concentrations of some indoor pollutants are up to five times higher than their outdoor counterparts.
The healthiest solution? Spending more time outside! But the second (and more practical) fix is to avoid exposure to harsh chemicals in the confined space of your home.
Luckily, home messes can be tackled effectively without the use of toxic chemicals. So we recently rounded up some of our favorite do-it-yourself (DIY) natural cleaning ideas.
All of these are effective and totally simple—in fact, most require basic staples you probably already have in your pantry.
Side note: The typical shelf-life of homemade mixtures is one month. For maximum cleaning potency, most of these formulas should be mixed for single use.
Small but mighty, this sunny fruit is so much more than a dietary source of Vitamin C. The sour citrus has natural disinfectant properties, and its acidic and abrasive properties give it an extra kick.
With just one or two lemons you can clean a variety of household appliances and surfaces.
Cut 5-10 thin slices of the lemon and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Fill the bowl up 3/4 of the way with tap water and squeeze a bit of the slices into the water. Place the bowl in the microwave, turn it up to high power, and let the water boil.
Once the water is boiling, stop the microwave, but don't open the door —you want the steam to build for at least two minutes. Carefully remove the bowl and wipe the microwave down with a damp cloth. Remove any residual streaks with a dry cloth.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon onto the counter. Rub the juice onto the stain and let it sit until the stain disappears. Rinse with water.
The acidity in lemon means it can safely break down hard water deposits, like the kind you'd find on a typical showerhead. Sprinkle some salt or baking soda onto a pre-cut lemon. Rub directly onto the water spots of your shower head. Rinse with hot water to unclog any tough spots.
Sprinkle the cutting board with some coarse salt. Scour the surface with one-half of a lemon, cut-side down. Let the lemon-salt mixture sit for 5 or so minutes. Scrape with a bench scraper (or a large knife) and discard the dirty liquid. Rinse the board with a clean, wet sponge, and let it air dry.
Hands down, this is the easiest DIY of the bunch. Simply take the remnants of the lemon you used for any of the above tips, toss into the garbage disposal, and let it run. It's an instant freshener that smells great.
Pro tip: Having a sliced lemon on hand is great during cooking, as it neutralizes odors on your hands after touching garlic or fish.
It's possible to deep clean your fridge to sanitary levels without exposing any unwrapped food to harsh chemicals.
To tackle spills from raw meat or fish, wipe the area in question with a microfiber towel. Then wash the spot with hot water (the hotter the better; use gloves if necessary). Use a dash of hydrogen peroxide or full-strength white vinegar to disinfect. Let stand for five minutes before wiping dry.
For general fridge cleaning, use a plant-based multi-surface cleaner. Alternatively, combine the following (in their listed order) into a spray bottle, and shake well:
Keep your fridge deodorized as needed by leaving fresh, dry coffee grounds in an open bowl overnight.
Do you find the smell of bleach off-putting? Or maybe you're worried about the effect it could have on your family. Either way, it's helpful to have an alternative on hand.
Mix the following in a half-gallon-sized container for a natural, laundry-safe whitener:
Use 1 cup per load of laundry.
Conventional store-bought oven cleaner is so loaded with dangerous ingredients that pregnant women are routinely advised to avoid it. Needless to say, it's likely not something you want lingering in your home—especially in an apparatus used specifically for cooking.
Luckily, it's easy to whip up a non-toxic, effective alternative.
Simply blend the ingredients below in a glass bowl until a thick paste is formed. Then brush the paste onto the oven surface, let sit overnight, and wipe clean with water and a sponge.
This is an especially good idea for homes with small children, since they're often crawling on—or even licking—the floor.
Mix well and lightly rub into floors. Wipe off completely when done.
Mix well and mop. Follow with pure water on mop to rinse.
This inexpensive, powerful mixture will freshen up any toilet bowl and leave it smelling better than ever.
Bring the water and vinegar to a boil on the stovetop. Pour into a bowl and add the borax. Once the mixture has cooled down, add the essential oil. Pour the formula into your toilet bowl, swish around with your toilet brush, and let sit overnight before flushing.
For an extra fresh touch, spray the toilet with our natural washroom spray before and after flushing. The sulfate-free formula, which was developed with natural ingredients, neutralizes unwanted odors, leaving a subtle, pleasant aroma.
Mold is easily preventable with sunlight and fresh air.
But if a slimy substance has built up in your bathroom, simply spray it with vinegar, a naturally antimicrobial substance. For extra sanitizing strength, add a couple drops of tea-tree oil to the spray bottle.
Before you reach for the synthetic air freshener, consider a more natural alternative: plants.
According to NASA, household plants can filter out the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in indoor air. Snake Plants, English Ivies, and Peace Lilies are all easy to maintain and make for excellent air filterers.
Typical drain cleaners are a triple whammy. They're dangerous to people, the environment, and usually (ironically) to the pipes themselves.
Keep your drain and yourself safe with this super simple DIY. You'll need:
Pour the baking soda down the drain (make sure it really gets pushed down—use the skinny side of a cooking spoon, if necessary). Follow with 1/2 cup white vinegar and cover the drain with a plug to keep the bubbling mixture down. Once fizzing has subsided, pour another 1/2 cup of vinegar down the drain, and re-cover. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, then flush the mixture with 8-16 cups of boiling water. Repeat as necessary.
Lemon saves the day again. To battle rust stains on porcelain or enamel surfaces, simply dip half a lemon into 1/2 cup of borax. Scrub the surface with the lemon and rinse with water.
We hope these easy DIYs for cleaning your home prove useful. For the times you want the quickest, safest cleaners for your home, Puracy products are the ultimate complement to your arsenal of natural supplies. From multi-surface cleaner to natural laundry detergent, we vet every single ingredient in our products to ensure they are gentle and safe for your home and your family.

No Worries Impressive In Vodacom Durban July
No Worries by Kahal ran on for a fourth in the Vodacom Durban July for owner Brian Burnard and trainer Gavin Van Zyl. The three year old chestnut gelding impressed in the Daily News 2000 by running a very close second to winner Vercingetorix, which prompted owner Brian Burnard to supplement No Worries into the July entries.
He finished just three lengths off the winner Heavy Metal, Run For It and Do You Remember. From 12 starts, No Worries has won twice and placed six times including the KRA Guineas Gr 2, the Gauteng Guineas Gr 2 and the Listed Guineas Trial. Kahal had a place last year with gelding Smanjemanje, who finished a very close second to Pomodoro.
Emperor Augustus finished third in the Thukela Handicap Listed on Vodacom Durban July day over 1600m. Trained by Mike Azzie, the five year old gelding finished just over a length from Lehaaf(ARG) and Blaze Of Fire. Ever consistent, Emperor Augustus has had 17 starts, being out of the placings just twice. He has won twice and placed in the Wolf Power 1600 Listed and Drum Star Handicap Listed.
Congratulations to all the connections of the horses above.
