Pat White has been spinning stories in her head ever since she was a little girl stories filled with handsome princes, mountainous lands and the magic we call love.
In the early 1990s, she took a break from her journalism career to raise her two sons. As a freelance writer and housewife, she began writing romance fiction as a diversion from potty training, Barney repeats and pre-bedtime meltdowns. With her computer on the dining room table, she wrote romantic suspense and romantic comedy novels starring mercenaries, figure skaters and senior citizens. (No, not all in the same book!)
Seven years later, after having been a finalist in the prestigious Golden Heart contest six times, Pat sold two books and was an overnight success! She currently writes for the Harlequin Intrigue and Silhouette Nocturne lines, along with romantic comedies for Dorchester Publishing.
Pat has been active in Romance Writers of America, having served as president, advisor and newsletter editor for three chapters. She volunteers to speak to groups about the life of writing, and has written articles for the Romance Writers Report and RWA chapter newsletters.
When not writing, you'll find Pat at the movies (her other passion), hiking in the Cascade Mountains or chasing any one of three cats out of the toilet. (The two dogs are well-behaved, thank you very much.)
Pat loves to hear from readers.

Could she really be the fated healer?
All her life, Destiny Rue has feared the family curse: insanity. So when she meets Kade Sharpe, a handsome businessman interested in her scientific research, she attributes the vivid fantasies and, worse yet, voices, to the onset of her dreaded family legacy.
But then Kade spins a tale about an Ash Demon Warrior blackmailed by the Cadre into saving the Crystal Goddess, a healer of legend who could destroy his kind. Suddenly, everything Destiny has believed about her life is called into question...
The old Destiny would have been terrified. But, armed with the strength Kade has given her, the new Destiny considers the magnitude of her legacy. For if she is the fated healer, how can she choose between the life of the man who's changed her entire world and the balance between good and evil?

Saving Destiny by Pat White is final story in the Dark Enchantments series. I found it to be a very enjoyable and interesting read, the characters were likable and mostly believable. I did think that the character of Destiny went through a lot of personality changes in a very short time as she changed from being a scared and timid girl into a strong, confident , and powerful woman. But then again the book was only 280 pages long, and the author did what she could to explain everything in a satisfactory manner.
In England, the Cadre captures Kadenshar and to his shame forces the demon warrior to journey to the United States to bring to them American research scientist Destiny Rue. Kadenshar, who is afraid of nothing and is the best at tempting mortals to sin, fears this female he believes she is the legendary healer Crystal Goddess, whose peacemaking activities will annihilate his species.---------------- Destiny fears she is going insane like others of her family as she starts hearing voices. When she meets businessman Kade Sharpe she is attracted to the handsome hunk who surprises her by displaying interest in her work. He also tells her about the Crystal Goddess while suddenly needing to keep her safe by protecting her from his demonic brothers trying to kill her before she attains her destiny, which would, as an unintended consequence, eradicate their race.------------- This superb romantic fantasy works because of the believable metamorphosis of the male lead from cold blooded Kadenshar the demon to warm blooded in love Kade the protector. Destiny also changes due Kade¿s entry into her life as she finds she has someone to lean on and trust while coping with a fate that makes insanity seem welcome. Pat White delivers with the thrilling SAVING DESTINY.------------- Harriet Klausner

CLI Magic: netcat
The response to my recent sysadmin toolbox article has been overwhelming. By far, readers' number one suggestion was to replace Telnet with netcat. Here then is an introduction to netcat for Linux users who may not be familiar with the "TCP/IP Swiss Army knife."
In the simplest terms, netcat is a utility that reads and writes data across the network. As you probably know already, you can write to a file or read from a file on your local machine using the cat utility. By running cat filename > filename2 , you can write the contents of a file to another file. By using cat > filename , you can write directly to a file from standard input.
The netcat utility works on the same principle as the cat utility, but over the network.

New Zealand is considering providing special visa processing for employees of controversial Chinese telecommunications company Huawei.
It follows a special deal between Immigration NZ and China Southern Airlines to fast- track visitor visas for its gold and silver frequent flyer cardholders flying out of Guangzhou.
As from this week the cardholders will be able to skip normal boarding checks in a deal opposition parties claim opens New Zealand's borders to international organised crime syndicates.
It can now be revealed Huawei wants "an alternative way" for some its employees to meet requirements to obtain visitor visas.
Immigration NZ head Steve Stuart said Huawei Technologies had applied to have requirements to prove sufficient funds and employment for its employees waived.
"The proposal is still being discussed by Immigration NZ and this consideration is at a very early stage."
Labour's immigration spokeswoman Darien Fenton says the proposal raises serious questions about "behind-the-scene deals" being done by Immigration NZ.
"Last week we saw the deal with China Southern Airlines and questions about SkyCity casino being involved, and now Huawei." She also questions why Huawei staff would need special processing.
"There's many people around the world who want to come and visit New Zealand who have to go through the proper process and we should not be making special deals with anybody."
The Government's willingness to do business with Huawei has been in the spotlight after Australia refused to offer the company a national broadband network contract in March.
The United States intelligence committee last month warned against doing business with Huawei, saying the company may pose a security threat. The committee said it had received credible allegations Huawei may be guilty of bribery and corruption, discriminatory behaviour and copyright infringement and recommended US network providers find other suppliers for their projects.
In New Zealand Huawei provides equipment to two of the Government's three local fibre providers that are rolling out its $1.5 billion broadband network. It also provides equipment to mobile phone company Two Degrees, which in May became one of three companies awarded the Government's lucrative public sector-wide mobile voice and data services procurement contract.
Labour has raised concerns that Huawei's "dual use" technology could enable it to get hold of information which could be transmitted.
A Huawei spokesman said the immigration application was made to assist Chinese tourists travelling with its subsidiary company Smartcom, which announced its first tour group to New Zealand in October. "This group consisted of Huawei employees and their families, however Smartcom aims to extend the promotion beyond Huawei."
Immigration Minister Nathan Guy - under fire after being forced to reveal the deal with China Southern Airlines after documents were leaked - said Huawei's request for special visa processing would be treated "very cautiously".
"Nothing will be agreed to which would compromise our rigorous border security. It would be unusual for a private company, rather than an airline, to be granted an arrangement like this."

Eugenics 101

Alot of people think Eugenics "died out" at the end of WWII... thank you for showing that is definitely not the case.
The New Eugenics is to be found in the results and applications of the Human Genome Project and the next steps are to clone or rather "create sperm" and "create eggs" taht contain just the DNA and mtDNA the Eugenists are looking for, then with forced abortion and the even forced impegnatation implanet zoogotes into what are essentially slave wombs to "create a new Human race". This is NOT science fiction, but rather a Eugentics Science Goal and Project.
The Effort will be to build a society along the lines of a Bee Hive.. with a Queen (only her DNA and mtDNA will be synthesized and used for 'production'), soliders, workers (of all levels), those who's destinies are to be nothing more than WOMBS to incubate, give birth, and feed the new young (of all castes), and the sexual slaves.
The shear reduction in the human gentic diversity will of course make it very easy for nature to decimate the human population.
I guess what I have presentd here is "Eugenics 170".
Holy shit! Your comment gave me goosebumps.
Here's why...
People who report being abducted by aliens describe the aliens as a hive-like species. The greys are the workers while the taller, better looking, usually female aliens are in charge...sort of like the queen.

CHINA: Yue Yuen to boost employee benefit payments
By Michelle Russell | 6 August 2014
Chinese footwear manufacturer Yue Yuen, which was subjected to a two-week long strike by its workers in April, says it will raise employee benefits this year - a move that will impact on its first-half results.
The Hong Kong-listed firm, which makes shoes for brands including Adidas and Nike, was hit by a US$27m loss as a result of production halting at its Gaobu factory in Guangdong province, in a dispute over the payment of worker social security contributions.
The company now estimates the provision to be larger than originally forecast, reaching $112m. This will be reflected in Yue Yuen's financial results for the six months ended 30 June.
In April, around 80% of the factory's 45,000 staff staged one of China's biggest strikes. It ended when employers agreed to meet some of the workers' demands for better benefits, increasing expenses for the year ending 31 December by around $31m.
In a statement today (6 August), the company said it has reviewed its employee benefits policy in China following the Gaobu factory incident, and has decided to raise contributions for employees at the group's other factories in China.
"The main reasons for making the employee benefit contributions are to assist the group in staff retention and recruitment under the increasingly competitive labour market conditions in China so as to ensure the group's normal business operation and production in the other factories," it said.
The company estimates a provision of around $53m will be made. In addition, it will adjust the benefit payments of employees in those factories and provide them with a monthly living allowance, estimated at around $46m.
Yue Yuen's interim results are due to be published on 13 August.

The first part of the privately funded Glenn Inquiry into child abuse and family violence distils the testimony of 500 survivors, frontline workers and offenders and paints a grim picture of violence breeding violence. The inquiry's chief panellist, Marama Davidson, acknowledges that the changes needed to break this cycle will take time but she wants to get cracking.
A "blueprint for change" will be published later this year. But this first report gives a taste of what it is likely to recommend. A crucial plea is for "a fresh approach that moves beyond labels, theories and gendered approaches", recognising that child abuse frequently goes hand- in-hand with domestic violence. This would require a long-term national social, community and economic strategy, facilitated by government but placing families at the centre. Zero tolerance to child abuse and domestic violence would become everyone's concern.
Achieving the necessary attitudinal and cultural change would be formidable. Dealing with poor training, inadequate co-ordination and so on in the relevant institutions and agencies looks more feasible, although the politicians would have to be persuaded to reach a consensus.
The courts are one point of focus. The report refers to an "alarming dysfunction" in them, quoting women who tell of struggling with the court process and having to "prove" their plight. Some offenders were thought to be more believable and "played the system".
Bill Wilson, the former Supreme Court judge who heads the Glenn Inquiry, suggests the electronic tagging of men on domestic violence protection orders so an alarm sounds if they approach the family home. Protection orders do nothing to stop some offenders from assaulting - sometimes killing - their partners. Electronic tagging may be a useful measure, at least in some cases.
Much more troubling, the inquiry suggests shifting the burden of proof in "domestic" cases. Alleged perpetrators would be considered guilty unless they can prove their innocence.
This asks us to pay an egregiously high price by overturning a fundamental principle of the law - that we are all innocent until proven guilty. Requiring accused people to prove their innocence is to be rejected.

About مصارعة
مصارعة مصارعة عارية ملط It seems like Yahoo Mail is so well-updated because the solution returns a lot of errors when a user tries to check his accounts. The antagonists are commonly characters who have betrayed the protagonist or their organization, or who has the most impact impeding their progress. After his fight with Vegeta, Goku is hospitalized in Wukong Hospital. مصارعة نزع الثياب A lot of us are looking for a remake of this movie. مصارعة نزع الثياب So as far as I am concerned Sigma Six gets a thumbs up from me! مصارعة عارية ملط The story is probably too confusing for anyone who doesn`t know the entire back-story of the anime. They don`t look pure energy like they are in the anime but just like slow motion fire.
The series focuses around many different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. مصارعة عارية ملط For those of us who like shows with a little more. ..
مصارعة Watching DBE i can immediately tell the directors and everyone else involved have not watched more than a few episodes of the entire Dragonball series.
Oolong, as in the tea; Videl, like the onion variety; Ginger, obvious; Spice; Blueberry; Raspberry; Raisin; Almond; Apple; and in Dragonball there was not an entire family of about 12 named after desserts.
It might also be missing some Joes and Cobra but as far as I can see its no loss!

Freddie Gray's relatives arrived for the trial in the afternoon, after the prep-school kids had left. By their dress, they seemed to have just gotten off work in the medical and clerical fields. The family did not appear at ease in the courtroom. They winced and dropped their heads as William Porter and his fellow officer Zachary Novak testified to opening the doors of their police van last April and finding Freddie paralyzed, unresponsive, with mucus pooling at his mouth and nose. Four women and one man mournfully listened as the officers described needing to get gloves before they could touch him.
The first of six Baltimore police officers to be brought before the court for their treatment of Freddie Gray, a black twenty-five-year-old whose death in their custody was the immediate cause of the city's uprising last spring, William Porter is young, black, and on trial. Here in this courtroom, in this city, in this nation, race and the future seem so intertwined as to be the same thing.

Hughes accuses DPP of letting mass murderer go free
- as part of deal for Lusignan trial testimony
Attorney Nigel Hughes has accused the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) of making a plea-bargain deal with a man who admitted to participating in the Lusignan, Bartica and Lindo Creek massacres, in which 33 people were killed in total, allowing him to go free without a single charge.
"Perhaps the people of Lusignan may wish to inquire of the Attorney General [Anil Nandlall] and the DPP [Shalimar Ali-Hack], why the State, which is responsible for protecting and serving them, would let a self-confessed murderer of 33 citizens go free without a single charge. No other person in the history of this country has enjoyed such a pardon," Hughes, breaking his silence on a series of allegations levelled against him by the ruling PPP, said in a statement yesterday.
Hughes noted that several public statements have been made by the PPP in relation to his representation of one of the accused in the Lusignan massacre trial as well as his relationship with the jury foreman, which is now the subject of an appeal filed by the DPP over the acquittal of the accused at the end of the trial.
Hughes stated that he did not make any public statement on the matter as the DPP has appealed the acquittals and has made the issue of his prior representation of the foreman a central issue in the matter. "In normal circumstances and in countries which pay some regard to the issue of no public comment on matters which are sub judice, comment by those who hold offices of significant legal responsibility and the publication of their comments on matters which are sub judice, are avoided and frowned on," he explained.
However, Hughes, saying he would make reference to matters which are already in the public domain, noted that the PPP has made particular appeal to the victims of the massacre, contending that he has been responsible for the release and discharge of those persons who are responsible for the mass murders.
Hughes said the people of Lusignan and Guyana appear not to have been made aware that Dwane Williams, who admitted and confessed to being with Rondell 'Fineman' Rawlins and participating in the three massacres "was not and will not be prosecuted by the State for any of these 33 murders" he participated in. "He has been granted a free pass by the State for (allegedly) killing not only the people of Lusignan but those in Bartica and Lindo Creek," he added.
According to Hughes, under oath during his testimony, Williams said: "Me and Fineman were tight. I was with him in Luisignan, Bartica and Lindo Creek. Lusignan 11 people were killed, Bartica 12 people were killed and Lindo Creek 10 people were kill; 33 people were killed when I was with Fineman and I am not facing a single charge."
The lawyer said that these words were recorded by the trial judge Justice Navindra Singh and are contained in the appeal record. Wiliams, he further said, was the state's sole eyewitness and who was jointly charged with the Lusignan murders.
"A mere week before the commencement of the Luisignan trial Mr Williams had the charges of murder against him mysteriously dropped by the State and he was released," he stated.
Last year, Justice Singh had banned the jury foreman in the Lusignan massacre trial, Vernon Griffith after he had not disclosed that he had a lawyer-client relationship with Hughes, who had represented one of the two accused who were subsequently found not guilty. The trial had concluded on August 2 with James Anthony Hyles and Mark Royden Williams both being found not guilty of the murders of the 11 persons killed in the 2008 massacre.
The DPP has filed the appeal stating that Hughes, who represented Hyles, failed to disclose to the trial judge that he had represented the foreman in a civil case for a period of six years starting in 2002. The DPP said Griffith also failed to disclose their relationship, which it says constitutes a "material irregularity."
Hughes informed that Griffith, who he represented in a civil action, which concluded in 2008, was a member of the PPP and was represented by Nandlall in 2011 in an action that he appeared against him (the foreman).
"The same foreman, as part of his party duties in 2012 participated in a public picketing exercise against me at the Supreme Court during the hearings of the Linden Commission of Inquiry. He was there along with senior members of the PPP… At the time of the Lusignan Trial, any relationship which existed between the foreman and myself could best be described as hostile. There was nothing to disclose," he said.
The lawyer questioned if he should have made the disclosure that Griffith was a PPP member and that the AG had represented him two years prior to the trial when he appeared against him in the same case. "Is this the non-disclosure they are speaking about?"
Hughes also referred to a recent editorial in the Guyana Chronicle, which he said made several libellous allegations against him, including the claim that he received a huge payment from the families of the victims of the Linden shooting in 2012 as legal or other fees.
"From the outset I made it clear to the people of Linden that my services were given to them pro bono without any conditions," he, however, emphasised.
Hughes said that at no time was any monies received from any of the victims by him or his firm, while adding that he used his personal money to procure the services of a pathologist and a ballistic expert. "I personally expended in excess of US$25,000 financing the professional services, travel and accommodation of the pathologist Professor Hubert Daisley from Trinidad and the ballistics expert Dr Mark Robinson from the UK. The cost of travel for the family members of the deceased to travel to Georgetown along with their overnight accommodation in Georgetown when they attended the post-mortem examination were also donated by me," he added in his statement.

Toshiba Chromebook 2 review: Finally a Chromebook worth buyingPocket-lint
We've always admired the Google Chromebook laptop concept and its attempt to deliver an affordable, easy to use, online-focused platform. Problem is, every manufacturer (ignoring Google itself with the ultra-expensive Pixel model) has shoehorned poor quality screens into cheap, plasticky bodies that have been woeful to use.
Until now. Ok, so the Toshiba Chromebook 2 (CB30-B-104 for its full codename) hardly ups the build quality ante, which is still plasticky and a reflection of its affordable price point, but the inclusion of a Full HD display makes a huge difference. Not just because of resolution but, crucially, because the viewing angles are useable, avoiding that contrast fall-off to the edges - something that's lacked from almost every previous Chromebook offering.
With Google Chrome OS improving its online and offline offering, has the Toshiba Chromebook 2 finally cracked the affordable laptop market? We've been living with one as our day-to-day laptop for a long weekend to find out.
An online experience
The Chromebook 2's £270 price point makes it a little more expensive than some earlier Chromebook models, but justifiably so. It's still on the right side of affordable, making it an ideal laptop for word processing, browsing and some specific app-led tasks.
But don't forget that this is not a Windows PC, instead Chromebooks run Google Chrome OS, which is a bit like a browser on steroids with a desktop. You can still store local files (albeit not loads, with only 16GB storage) and do the majority of what you need, but the focus is on Google Drive - Google's cloud-based storage system, with 100GB free for two years included - where Google Documents can be created, edited by yourself (and multiple others in real-time if you wish) without the need to buy into additional software installs. Add quick and easy sync to other Google services, such as Gmail and Calendar, and everything is readily available at your fingertips.
But the lack of additional software will be an issue for some users. On board is Chrome Web Store, which offers some straightforward apps, but there is nothing complex like Photoshop for editing, Steam for gaming, or other such well-known apps. Some third parties have got on board, though, with Spotify a core example that is available.
For us the software limitations were a problem: we had to keep switching between Macbook and Chromebook to get some of our work tasks completed, but that comes with the territory. If you're a student and need to read, write and browse then all the basics are covered - plus competent media playback is no problem (note: there's no optical drive).
Build quality
However, at this price point don't expect the world when it comes to build quality, as the Toshiba Chromebook 2 is a plasticky 13.3-inch laptop.
Not that we were expecting premium metal or anything. To be fair, it looks fine: the exterior lid has a textured finish that captures the light to give a shimmering image, while the grey-silver colour isn't glossy so avoids catching fingerprints and excess grime.
There are competent numbers of ports on board too: one USB 3.0 keeps things swift (there a USB 2.0 socket on the opposite side), a full size SD card reader is handy for dragging pictures from a camera card, while an HDMI out port makes linking to an external monitor or TV nice and easy for presentations and media playback at a larger scale. There's no Ethernet port, but this Chromebook is all about mobility and wireless connectivity.
And with a new fanless Intel Celeron processor at its core, mobility is no problem: the 1.35kg weight and 19.3mm thickness make sure of that. It's not the thinnest or lightest laptop on the market, but the weight is almost identical to the 13-inch MacBook Air, which goes to show just how much lighter it is than the earlier Chromebook models, including the original Toshiba Chromebook.
Full HD screen
With a smaller and lighter design than many other Chromebooks that we've seen, the Toshiba Chromebook 2 is already in a positive position. But its 1920 x 1080 resolution Full HD screen excels it further in the Chromebook hierarchy.
Not just because it delivers a crisp image, but because the viewing angles are sufficient to view the screen in all the usual working positions. Earlier Chromebooks had terrible angles of view where the contrast would fall off to such extremes that the exacting face-on position required to work with was a pain. It's the main thing we've always loathed about Chrombooks, but Toshiba has finally fixed that issue (ignoring, that is, the pricey Google Pixel and, to some extent, HP Chromebook 11 - both of which were somewhat successful in this regard).
The Toshiba Chromebook 2's screen has a warm colour cast, but not unpleasantly so, and our only real criticism is the glossy finish making for reflections. Not ideal for outdoor use, but there are quick access brightness adjustment keys that can help - and help to conserve the battery life too.
We've already alluded to performance and that the Chromebook isn't a platform for heavyweight tasks, but the dual 2.16GHz Intel Celeron N2840 processor and 4GB RAM pairing inside this Toshiba is ample to handle everything we've needed. Unlike with the paltry HP Chromebook 11, the Chromebook 2 won't struggle with simple tasks like having a dozen browser tabs open - but it can be a little slow to engage a new tab, or exhibit some lag when inputting text.
On the sound front the concealed speakers work really well, pinging sound towards the ears while avoiding distortion issues. Don't expect giant bass, of course, but plug a pair of headphones into the 3.5mm jack and things sound better yet.
We're also really happy with the typing experience, with enough resistance from each key providing the level of feedback we'd expect from a higher spec keyboard. There's nothing fancy like back-lighting for nighttime viewing, but the quick access function keys along the top are great for productivity - from the all window display, to full screen toggle, forward/back/refresh keys, alongside brightness and volume adjustment.
However, not everything is quite perfect. The dual-antenna Wi-Fi system has found our dual band router problematic, with the connection often dipping in and out to the detriment of browsing.
The second problem is battery life, which is so-so at best, offering around five active hours without the power cable plugged in. Dim the screen, go light on tasks and we've been able to stretch to seven hours - but that's still a lot less than we're used to when using our MacBook Air.
We have often bemoaned Chromebook screens for their poor viewing angles, but the Toshiba Chromebook 2 CB30-B-104 makes significant inroads into rectifying the issue: not only does it offer great viewing angles, it does so in glorious 1920 x 1080 resolution. And Full HD looks great.
There are still the usual Chromebook criticisms though: the lack of distinct apps will be a problem for some users, the plastic build quality isn't up to much, and battery life is so-so at best. In this Toshiba case a fussy Wi-Fi connectivity proved unreliable for us, and the slightly reflective glossy screen is something we could have done without.
With that said, at this price point the Toshiba Chromebook 2 is easily the best in its category. It's affordable, simple to use, up to speed with online and offline functionality, and shows why such Chrome OS devices are proving so popular. Finally, a Chromebook worth buying.

A glamour Fastnet Rock colt narrowly failed to fetch $2 million at Karaka but Hamilton studmaster Gordon Cunningham couldn't have cared less.
The colt out of Gr I-producing broodmare Celebria was knocked down to Coolmore Stud's Tom Magnier for $1.975 million to provide Cunningham's Curraghmore Stud with its second million-dollar sale but clearly its best result, surpassing the $1 million it got for Danehill colt Offenbach in 2004.
"I'm delighted with the result obviously. It's a great price for a superb colt," Cunningham said.
"We sold Offenbach for $1 million but I knew this horse was in a different league. He's by a great sire. His pedigree is top class and everything about the horse on paper suggests he can become a stallion one day himself, but even more so when you look at him physically. He's just an exceptional specimen that you'd expect to be a Gr I horse."
Cunningham sold the colt on behalf of Australian breeder John Camilleri, having convinced him to sell him in New Zealand after inspecting the colt as a foal and checking his pedigree.
Cunningham rated the colt as superior to the Fastnet Rock colt out of Nureyev's Girl that topped last year's premier sale at $1.75 million so his expectations were always high.
"He just had more strength to his pedigree. This is one of the best families in the world and that's why I encouraged John Camilleri to get him over here," Cunningham said.
"He's shown his faith in the New Zealand market, the Curraghmore operation and New Zealand Bloodstock to have the buyers here and recognise a colt like this and pay his value. I'm just delighted John's happy. If he's happy, I'm happy and that's the name of the game."
Camilleri had enjoyed success buying from Curraghmore in the past, having purchased Fairway from the Hamilton farm and gone on to win five Gr I races and provide the name for the Australian breeder's operation, Fairway Thoroughbreds.
The colt became the highlight of the first day of the two-day premier sale, quickly passing the $1 million mark to the delight of a packed Karaka sales auditorium after bidding began at $500,000.
Te Akau's David Ellis made one bid at $1.3 million but bowed out as Magnier and Black Caviar's Melbourne trainer Peter Moody battled it out. Magnier looked to have secure the colt at $1.9 million when Moody walked away only to return to his seat for one more bid at $1.95 million.
The expected next bid of $2 million never eventuated as Magnier, on the phone to his father Irish thoroughbred and business magnate John Magnier, made the tactical bid of $1.975 million.
It opened the door for Moody to go to $2 million but he shook his head.
Asked about the $1.975 million bid, Magnier said: "You always want to get a horse as cheap as you can."
Magnier, who bought a Fastnet Rock colt out of Smart Company for A$1.350 at the Gold Coast earlier this month, said the colt would go to David Hayes to be trained.
He said he was aware he was bidding against Moody.
"I could see him through the other side. He's a very good judge," Magnier said.
"All the top judges would always be on a good horse like this. He's a lovely horse and the right people were on him, so we just need a bit of luck now. He's a very nice colt, lots of quality and he's a lovely mover. We're just lucky to have him.
"He's by the right stallion in Fastnet Rock and the family is doing very well. He's a very exciting sire at the moment and he's standing up in Europe as well. It's exciting to have him."
Magnier praised Curraghmore Stud's preparation of the colt.
"Gordon does a terrific job. All his horses look terrific this year and it's a credit to him," he said.

Local heroes repair home of ailing Army veteran, wife
Published: Monday, April 26, 2010 at 1:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 26, 2010 at 1:05 a.m.
AUBURNDALE - With a spate of recent health problems, Martha Smith and her husband, Army veteran Charles Smith, can't afford to make repairs on their Auburndale home. But with the help of Rebuilding Together of Polk County, they're getting a working air conditioner, a new deck with a ramp to their door, a new roof, new doors and other improvements.
Last week and this week, volunteers have been working through a long list of renovations on the Smiths' mobile home on Berkley Road. Heroes at Home, a program run by Sears Brands LLC to provide needed upgrades to veterans' houses, has teamed up with Rebuilding Together to help the Smiths. Charles Smith is the third veteran Rebuilding Together has helped this spring through Heroes at Home.
"We have a huge veteran population," said Alice Spivey, executive director of Rebuilding Together of Polk County. She said many local veterans are seniors, and many are physically or financially incapable of repairing their own homes.
"They're the ones that own the older homes, and they're on fixed incomes," she said.
On Friday morning, two employees from the Sears store at Lakeland Square Mall pitched in with Rebuilding Together to tear down an old shed behind the mobile home that was threatening to become a code violation.
"This gentleman's a wounded veteran and we owe him," said Don Hughes, a Sears appliance salesman.
Charles Smith, 73, served six years in the U.S. Army and National Guard in the late 1950s and early 1960s, mostly staying in Fort Benning, Ga. For 24 years, he worked as a truck driver for Polk County.
Now Charles Smith has diabetes, and has had open heart surgery. Martha Smith, 67, has needed two open heart surgeries. Recently, she called the United Way asking for help fixing the air conditioner on their mobile home. She said she has breathing problems and struggles when it breaks.
The United Way referred her to Rebuilding Together. With grant funding from Heroes at Home, the organization is replacing the Smiths' air conditioner altogether, and helping with much more.
Last Wednesday, volunteers finished work on a new roof for the mobile home. On Friday, Hughes and Robin Lever, a Sears mattress salesman, helped tear down the Smiths' shed, along with three people from Rebuilding Together.
This Wednesday, more volunteers plan to replace the old air conditioning unit with a more energy-efficient model to help the Smith save money on their electric bill. On Thursday and Friday, they will tear down and replace the deck in front of the home's elevated entrance, repaint all the rooms, install new sink tops and replace the doors with weather-proofed versions.
Sears employees at the Eagle Ridge Mall location in Lake Wales have expressed interest in helping this week, and Rebuilding Together regularly relies on local churches for volunteers.
And next month, the Center for Independent Living will rebuild the ramp leading to the Smiths' deck as part of its "Six Days, Six Ramps" program. Both Charles and Martha Smith use motorized scooters to get around, and the center plans to install a stronger ramp.
Martha Smith said she was surprised and gratified to find support from the community. Caring for her sick husband takes up most of her days.
"It's just not easy," she said. "The volunteers are great."
Spivey said Rebuilding Together of Polk County started in the wake of the three hurricanes that devastated Polk in 2004. It was first known as Rebuilding Polk After Disaster, and built new homes for families that had theirs destroyed. As recovery progressed and work slowed, the group joined with the national nonprofit Rebuilding Together last April.
"It allowed us to expand the program and get financial backing," Spivey said.
Now, volunteers mostly fix homes with wear and tear, not hurricane damage. Still, the idea is the same.
"There are so many people in need," Spivey said.
