Bernard Tomic outfoxed ninth-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet today in another impressive display to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon.
Tomic, at 20 the youngest man left in the men's draw, extended his stellar run at the grass-court grand slam into a second week with a 7-6 (9-7) 5-7 7-5 7-6 (7-5) upset win.
The Australian world No 59 progressed to the last 16 at Wimbledon for the second time and he will face seventh-seeded Czech Tomas Berdych, who defeated South African Kevin Anderson.
Another win would likely set up quarter-final showdown with top seed Novak Djokovic, the player who beat him in the 2011 quarter-finals at the All England Club.
Playing without the court-side support of his banned father and coach, Tomic seemed to lap up the big stage first-up on Wimbledon's Centre Court.
And some 15,000 supporters were treated to an entertaining match as Tomic was forced to test his full range of skills against the crafty Frenchman.
In stark contrast to his opening encounters against big-hitting Americans Sam Querrey and James Blake, this was more an exercise in tactics and touch.
Neither player broke serve in a high-quality first set, with Tomic digging himself out of several service holes to send the match to a tiebreaker.
He edged it with a remarkable forehand drop shot to take a one-set lead.
Tomic was millimetres from taking the second set.
Up 5-4, Tomic had Gasquet 0-40 on serve and the Australian missed several passing shot opportunities.
After saving four set points, the Frenchman made him pay, breaking serve in the next game and serving out the set.
The same opportunity presented itself to Tomic in the third set but this time he didn't let it slip, converting a second set point opportunity with a great forehand retrieval.
Tomic was sublime in the fifth-set tiebreaker, converting his third match point with a big serve and celebrating with his arms outstretched.
"I'm very happy. I played a very a good match and it's difficult coming out first on Centre Court," Tomic said.
"I was very nervous but I couldn't ask any more of myself.
"I'm happy with the way I'm going and hopefully I can keep it up."
The victory snapped an 11-match losing streak against top 10 players on the tour and helped Tomic put a dramatic few months further behind.
John Tomic has been suspended from the tour for a year after being charged with assaulting Bernard's former training partner, Frenchman Thomas Drouet.
Anderson could be forgiven for never wanting to set eyes on Berdych again after the Czech beat him for a ninth successive time at Wimbledon.
The seventh seed won 3-6 6-3 6-4 7-5 to set up a last-16 clash against feisty Australian Bernard Tomic.
Berdych and Anderson had played each other eight times in the last 18 months, and five times this year, with the former Wimbledon finalist winning on every occasion.
The 27th-seeded Anderson stands 2.03 metres tall and possesses one of the best serves in the game, but he was cut down to size by the heavy-hitting Czech who overcame losing the first set to scrap his way into the lead.
It was far from comfortable for 2010 Wimbledon runner-up Berdych, however, as he came close to being extended into a fifth set having won his opening two rounds in three.
Anderson served for the fourth set leading 5-3, but could not close it out and Berdych, who needed some treatment on his back, finished him off three games later, wrapping up victory with a service winner on his second match point.
After losing in the first and fourth rounds in the two year's since his charge to the final, the heavy-hitting Czech looks in the mood for another long run.
"In terms of my game, I think everything's going well," Berdych said. "Just dropped a set, which is actually good to face a bit of a challenge, not only winning 3-0 which could be really tricky because then you need to face a tough situation against a tough opponent.
"This is good that I have a match like this also for building up some confidence again."

In the news . . .
Cody Hedlund wins Showdown in Cowtown
It was a big win in more ways than one, for Cody Hedlund and Meteles Cat on Monday night, in the Non-Pro division of the inaugural Western Bloodstock NCHA Showdown in Cowtown. The 227-point score was Hedlund's highest earned in a limited age event, and the winner's purse of $35,000 hit a home run out of Will Rogers Coliseum.
"That's a huge check with a huge number on it," said Hedlund, who collected $16,417 for his Non-Pro win in the 2015 Breeders Invitational. "This (Showdown in Cowtown) is going to be a big deal and I hope they continue it."
The Showdown in Cowtown was a concept suggested to NCHA by Western Bloodstock Ltd.'s Jeremy Barwick, an innovator in cutting horse marketing and sales.
Five-year-old Meteles Cat, by Metallic Cat, is now the earner of more than $220,000. In addition to his Breeders Invitational win, he also placed as non-pro reserve champion in the 2014 Breeders Invitational and NCHA Super Stakes, and won the PCCHA non-pro championship. Read more...
Morgan Cromer on TF High Chex CD and Tatum Rice on RO Buckaroo Cat, tied for the top score of 439.5 after the second round of the Open Derby. TF High Chex CD, by High Brow CD, is a High Brow CD mare bred and owned by Travelers' Farm. She was an NCHA Futurity finalist, and won the Pacific Coast Winter Roundup. RO Buckaroo Cat was bred by Matthews Cutting Horses by High Brow Cat and is owned by Ruben Ormo. RO Buckaroo Cat has been a finalist in the NCHA Futurity and four other major events.
Sixty-two horses marked 431.5 or better to advance to Friday's semi-finals.

NCHA Committee Recommendations
During the NCHA Convention held June 19 – 21, the NCHA Standing Committees met and formulated recommendations that will be sent to the Executive Committee for potential approval at their fall meeting. Agenda items are not listed if the committee took "No Action" or "Tabled" the item. (View Recommendations).
NCHA European Championship slated for 2015
The first NCHA European Championship will take place during Equita Lyon Oct. 28 – Nov. 1, 2015. A cumulative score between two go-rounds will crown the Champions of the much-anticipated event.
Divisions will include Open, Non-Pro, $15,000 Amateur and Youth. Riders will qualify by competing in NCHA-approved shows or NCHA-approved Grass Roots Cuttings. The top 25 riders plus ties with the most points on Sept. 30, 2015 will be qualified for the NCHA European Championship.
"This event was created to give European show producers incentive to organize approved shows and to encourage riders to compete," said European secretary Peggy Parage. "Right now show producers are more interested in organizing approved events because they want to give riders the opportunity to get points for the European Championship. And second the riders want to invest more time and money to compete in approved shows because they want to ride for those points and try to qualify for the European Championship. So we hope that the sport of cutting will get more popular in Europe and that the cutting industry will grow again."

Family-Owned Horse Rule
We are excited to begin 2015 with some great opportunities for our NCHA family, here is the information and online form for the new Family Owned Horse Rule, with this new rule relating to horse ownership there will be increased opportunities for family members to show in NCHA classes, it will be necessary for members to submit a Family Registration Form (PDF to print and mail or Online) on horses that will be shown by Immediate family members that are not listed on the ownership. The form must be completed prior to the family member showing the horse.
The new Standing Rule 51.a.4 reads as follows: "If a member who holds an NCHA non-professional and/or amateur card publicly exhibits in any contest, whether approved or unapproved, a cutting horse not owned by the member or by the member's immediate family, as defined herein, said card can be automatically revoked. Additional penalties for ownership rule violations may include loss of Non-Professional/Amateur status for up to life of the member, up to three (3) years suspension from the NCHA, up to a maximum of $10,000 fine. Any other member who aids and abets the rule violator will be subject to the same penalties depending on the severity of the incident.
NCHA Medication - Know Before You Show Document Updated
NCHA wants to remind all exhibitors, owners and veterinarians treating horses leading up to the NCHA World Championship Futurity about the medication and welfare rules included in Rule 35A in the NCHA Official Handbook of Rules and Regulations. NCHA's medication and drug testing policy has been developed over multiple years to, first and foremost, protect the welfare and prolong the competitiveness of the equine athletes who compete in cutting. Through this policy, NCHA has galvanized its position regarding the safety of the horses and a level playing field for its events.
For complete rules regarding allowable therapeutic medications and forbidden substances, exhibitors, trainers and veterinarians should familiarize themselves with all rules included in the NCHA Handbook. Additionally, NCHA provides a "Know Before You Show," reference guide for the benefit of members and exhibitors. Please click here to see the updated Know Before You Show.
Prior to this year's Futurity, the Know Before You show guide has been expanded to include guidelines regarding joint injections (which require a medication report to be filed if using a conditionally permitted corticosteroid within 7 days of competition) and dosing guidelines for permitted nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, which must be within industry and standards for treatment thresholds.
If you or your veterinarian have any questions about allowable/disallowed medications, call Julie Davis at the NCHA office at (817) 244-6188.

I am not robbed by people who have more money than me. I am robbed by a government that wants to penalize my industry and give increasing portions of what I earn to people who do not emulate my principles, morals and ethics.
What have we come to? We once taught our young people the virtues of hard work, saving, personal responsibility and accountability for one's actions, chastity before and fidelity and commitment in marriage, honesty, integrity and virtue - not to mention the Ten Commandments (especially the one about not coveting that which belongs to your neighbor). We now teach them entitlement, victimhood, class envy and rights to other people's money. When one robs a bank, it's a crime. When government takes our money, it's called a tax. Same result.
There is something else about Clinton's speech that offends. She suggested that students at a technical high school are inferior to those of higher social rank. This, too, is typical white liberal bunk. Has it occurred to her that many students prefer technical careers - and some make an excellent living at them - to the jobs held by the elites and that some of those jobs (like politician) fit them for nothing of value and turn them into professional snobs?
Senator Clinton should consider the wisdom of a former president, who said, "The collection of any taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to the public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. . . . The wise and correct course to follow in taxation is not to destroy those who have already secured success, but to create conditions under which everyone will have a better chance to be successful." (Calvin Coolidge inaugural address, March 4, 1925)

Daft Punk Design More Coke Bottles
Following a campaign earlier this year, the beloved robotic producers have teamed up with Coca-Cola for the second time, designing another round of sleek, limited-edition Coke bottles. Only 20 sets of two will be manufactured, so you're more likely to hear a new Daft Punk album than get your own custom bottles, but they're still cool to look at.
More information on the bottles and the option to order (for a mere 20 people) is available at DaftCoke.com. However, the site informs us "Vous ne pouvez pas accéder à cette partie du site dans votre pays," meaning that Canadians don't seem to have access to it.
Thanks to Stereogum for the tip.
A commercial for the old Daft Punk Coke bottles can be viewed below.
Coming back soon! If our developer were more machine than man they'd already be here. Useless meatsack.
For now, please send any and all feedback to [email protected].

Ethnic Volleyball - Male Christmas Ornament
Personalized Christmas Ornament
He has a great spike over the net and has scored many points for his volleyball team with his ace of a serve. This personalized African American volleyball player is a wonderful keepsake for a guy who made the school volleyball team and loves to play volleyball matches on the volleball court at rival schools. With his strong team skills, he can bump, set and spike the ball over the volleyball net with great strength and precision.

Chicago Blackhawks forwards Teuvo Teravainen and Joakim Nordstrom are day-to-day with upper-body injuries, coach Joel Quenneville said. Neither will play in Chicago's preseason game Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings at United Center.
"He could have played," Quenneville said of Teravainen.
Teravainen scored two goals during Blackhawks scrimmages Saturday at Notre Dame, but was injured following a hit from defenseman Cam Barker.

Content developed for the iPhone doesn't need to go through the ratings board, an oversight which, surprisingly, has yet to attract a media call-to-arms. Should the ESRB succeed in courting Apple as the defacto ratings system for the iPhone, the high cost of approval should curtail one of the largest problems facing the iPhone store today: having too much content, a sentiment shared by Minigore developer Kimmo Vihola. Vihola noted that "[Apple's] process is starting to crack from the seams," and pointed out that Sony's turnaround time on minis is much faster than Apple's store. Sony takes three to five days for approval, while Apple varies "from a couple of days to up to six weeks."

Keep The Streets Empty For Me video from Fever Ray
Fever Ray is set to release her Live In Lulea album digitally on November 30th, the 12 track album will include a song with Vashti Bunyan as well as Fever Ray's cover of Nick Cave's 'Keep The Streets Empty For Me'. The video for the track was directed by Jens Klevje and Fabian Svensso and starts Japanese performance artist Megumi Matsubara.
Directors Jens and Fabian comment: "Keep the Streets Empty For Me struck us immediately with its fateful sound, and images of abandoned suburbia begun to grow in front of our eyes. We wanted to continue the journey that started in the former videos and our ambition was to catch the feeling in a very direct and true way and create a video where dream and reality intertwine."

A vintage print block featuring a man downhill skiing. The text reads "Wow! Was that close." But, as you can see, it wasn't merely a close call as this poor man is missing his package ~ and behind him, you can see that it is left on the obstacle he thought he missed. I guess it was also cold enough that he didn't feel a thing during his dick amputation. But the accident sure left a mark and he is going to feel it later. For sale at Etsy.

The young woman who got the gig by sending in a letter:
My name is Ellen Stohl, I am a model/actress, who three years ago was injured in a tragic auto accident. At first, I had given up hope of pursuing my career, but after a few months and a lot of learning, I realized a wheelchair should not make a difference. Since that realization, I have been working twice as hard to achieve my career goals not only for myself but also to teach society that being disabled does not make a difference. The reason I choose Playboy for this endeavor is that sexuality is the hardest thing for disabled persons to hold onto. Not to say that they are not capable, but rather that society's emphasis on perfection puts this definitive damper on self-esteem. Well, I believe it is time to show society the real story. Anyone can be sexy; it is a matter of how a person feels about himself or herself, and personally I feel great.
Her wish was granted and the July 1987 issue was the first in which a disabled woman appeared in a Playboy pictorial.
At the time, this issue was known as "the uncomfortable issue."
Associate editor Kate Nolan said, "On the surface, it's a noble statement: People with disabilities still have their sexuality. But do you think we'd run pictures of someone who was really, seriously deformed? Of course we wouldn't. This is a safe kind of exploitation. We're saying, 'We've got pictures of someone who is disabled. Buy our magazine and look at the pictures.' But the woman looks 'normal.' So we're protected, in a way. I really think we're opening ourselves up to charges that we`re no better than Hustler. The idea sounded horrible to me when I first heard it, and I haven`t changed my mind."
But the decision wasn't up to Nolan; it was, despite the tone of later interviews which made it sound like Hefner was hip, up to Playboy's editorial director Arthur Kretchmer. This was his stated reasoning:
"We all so easily dehumanize people," Kretchmer said. "We categorize people because it's easy. We categorize people in wheelchairs as 'cripples,' and we all get on with our lives and forget about them."
"I may be naive, but I don't see this as exploitation. The word 'exploitation' comes up in other contexts when people criticize Playboy, but in this case I think we're on the side of the angels.
"I think we are honoring Ellen Stohl's faith in us. We are allowing her to be whole–to be sexual–and I think it is a wonderful tribute to Playboy that we are the magazine to which she wrote."
"I agree with Kate Nolan that this would all be different if Ellen Stohl was terribly disfigured. In that case, we would be putting on what would be called a freak show. We're not doing that."
Kretchmer may have seemed brave at the time, but if he was so against dehumanizing people why would he so blithely label others as "a freak show?"
In the end, Stohl's photos were beautiful and their publication was a first step. But many more steps would need to be taken ~ still need to be taken ~ in order to show that anyone can be sexy.
Stohl did an interview with CBS in 2011, and she's still on the mission ~ including posing nude. She also has a website, EllenStohlStory.

Saucy Saturday: Retro Hetero Couple Edition
On a quasi-related note (and not to ruin your Saucy Saturday with too much thinky stuff)…
I remember a discussion I had not long ago with a gentleman who was surprised that I had gone about a dozen adult (and sexually active) years before seeing an uncircumcised penis. He thought because I was in the US that I'd seen many of them ~ believing, in fact, that majority of American men do not have circumcised cocks. I was surprised at that notion. But here are some stats and info, should you be interested.

She's Lovely and Not Shaved
The shaving issue bugs me. I think of it as a fetish more than anything sensible or modern. This woman from the 1920s is lovely – with all her arm pit and pubic hair attached.

Alpha the Robot Abducts Queen Zorine Of The Nudists
Not to become the sexy robot blog or anything, but who can pass up a photo ~ and a story ~ like this one from the 1935 San Diego Exposition?
A grand event thrown to help boost morale and the local economy during the Great Depression. Among the hundreds of exhibits, the ones best remembered are Alpha the Robot, a "mechanical man" created by Harry May representing the cutting edge of mid-30s robotic machine age modernist technology. At some point during the exhibition, Alpha wandered away from the Palace of Science and found himself at another exhibit, that of Queen Zorine and her harem of nudists who were frolicking about Balboa Park. This unique and delightfully strange picture shows Alpha "abducting" Queen Zorine.

Last to leave the party
- 26 Jun 06, 02:30 AM
STUTTGART - Outside of the passion and pain on the pitch, it is the little things that catch your eye as the world's cultures collide at this tournament.
The last guests to leave England's post-match party were dancing in the streets as I walked back through the city's main square in the early hours.
The strains of Football's Coming Home and "1-0 to the Arsenal" sounded bizarre coming out of the pipes on a traditional German wind-up organ.
The sight of a dozen England fans dancing around the grinder looked even stranger. He didn't seem to mind though.
About 30,000 fans watched the game here earlier, in a boisterous but peaceful atmosphere.
These lads were the only ones left and, while the tunes were still coming, looked likely to stay for a while.

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Hochster Hof Frankfurt
Travel Blogs from Frankfurt
Although we dreamt and planned a lot for this journey, we never thought about the last part.
Waiting between our last two planes, we still have one question:How do you end such an overwhelming adventure before getting back to the real world of bills, plumbing problems and work but also friends, family, weekends and summerbars? I guess by putting the best pics on your screensaver and planning the next one :-)?.
We ...
The eagle had landed
... are out by the thousands, eating, drinking, smoking and connecting with their neighbors. Such a vital time at night. But with our long day we decided to just go out from 7:30 - 10:30pm then head back to our hotel and into bed. Chris' pedometer marked we walked 11 kilometers today. And now my feet feel like it. So happy to be here. Special thanks to Cliff and Sandy who gave a condensed version of Rome....as we are going to Florence ...
Start of a Long Travel Day
... was nice not having a seat mate, but the seat was not as big or comfy as the United. I did find the service excellent, and the food service was very nice. The served a multi-course lunch soon after take-off and then a dinner service 90 minutes before landing. The lunch was so filling, that I wasn't hungry for the dinner. I did get some sleep and with the flight only 7.5 hours, the time thankfully seemed to go fast.
Greece Evening One
... br>
Arriving in Athens during a rare rain storm, the weather cleared, and we sat on our balcony at the Hotel Attalos to gaze at the illuminated Acropolis. With the temperatures in the 60s, we returned to our European eating schedule of late and long, eating outside, wandering back to the room sometime after midnight.
I love you, but I'm leaving...
... In a trance of complete liberation, I was open to meeting new people during my solo travels, even attracting guys while I was eating dinner like a loner. One guy looked at me and almost admired the way I was eating asking "is it good?" As he walked past. Flattered was an understatement.
And how small this world really is. Minding my own business shopping along Broadway in H&M, I suddenly hear my name announced in slow motion. It took me a minute to register it ...

Hideki Matsui Coming to LA: A Designated Hitter + A Japanese Curry House
Hideki Matsui, the New York Yankees DH and MVP of the World Series, is coming to Los Angeles. Matsui has reportedly signed a 1-year contract with the Angels. So they get a guy who batted .615 over the 6 games of the series, and in arguably better news--depending on your culinary tastes and your views on the designated hitter--we may also get a curry house to go with him.
NYT restaurant critic Sam Sifton blogs this morning that Go! Go! Curry, a Japanese curry joint in New York City's midtown, may be opening in Los Angeles. Why? Because Go! Go! Curry is a Matsui shrine, a restaurant so devoted to the Japanese slugger that even the name was picked to honor him. ("Go" is "5″ in Japanese; 55 was Matsui's Yankees jersey number.) Will Matsui keep his number? Will the curry house follow him to Anaheim? Will Vladimir Guerrero open a Dominican restaurant now that he's a free agent? Stay tuned.

Chris Crerar, Associated Press
This is the second in a two-part series. Read Part 1.
KHANDWA, India — Saroo Brierley pulled up to the train station and stepped out of his car into the chaotic landscape that had haunted his dreams.
The swerving bicycles, noisy three-wheelers and vendors' pushcarts crowding the streets of this Indian town were half a world from where he lived in Australia's tranquil island state of Tasmania. And yet he knew that once — a lifetime ago — he had called this place home.
It was Feb. 12, 2012, and he hadn't been here in nearly 25 years, since that nightmarish day when his brother vanished and a train whisked him away from everything he knew. Since he had ended up an orphan in distant Calcutta, before an Australian couple adopted him and gave him a second chance at family.
It took years of searching the Internet before he finally found his way back to this town. After all this time, would his family still be here? If they were, what would they say? What would he say?
His loved ones in Australia had warned him not to expect too much. He remembered the cramped house he had left behind, the poverty, the hunger. He'd spent years wondering about the fate of his family, and tried now to prepare himself for the worst.
He stood still, drinking it all in. Through his now-adult eyes, everything seemed much smaller than in his memory. But the smells and sounds were the same, and the layout almost exactly as he remembered: The road near the train tracks, the fountain he'd spotted on an Internet satellite image. He began to walk, following twisty pathways etched into his brain as a child.
Saroo could feel it. His memory was guiding him home.
Fatima struggled to take her usual nap after returning from her morning routine of cleaning neighbors' homes and washing their dishes. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Saroo. She had heard of a man wandering through a nearby neighborhood who had amnesia and couldn't find his family.
Could that be her son? She doubted it. She had heard he wasn't tall like her other children, but she decided she would find him in the next day or two just to be sure. She gave up on sleeping and rose from the bed she had borrowed from a neighbor, rolling off a mattress so wafer thin that a gentle hand could feel the metal slats underneath.
She sat on her doorstep, watching life go by along the alley.
Saroo stared at the house in front of him in shock. One, because it was the place he'd called home so long ago. Two, because it seemed impossibly tiny; the top of the front door reached his chest. He was examining the door's padlock and chain when a woman emerged from the adjacent house. She asked, in hybrid Hindi-English, if he needed help.
Saroo pulled out a copy of a childhood photo his Australian parents had taken of him. He showed it to the woman, tried to explain. He said the names of his siblings and mother, waiting for a flicker of recognition. He felt dread growing in his gut as she stared in silence. Was his family dead? Had he lost them forever?
More neighbors were gathering. He repeated his pleas. Did someone, anyone, know where his family was?
A man plucked the photo from Saroo's hand. "Wait here," he said, and hurried off. A few minutes later, he returned.
"Come with me," he said. "I am going to take you to your mother."
Saroo was numb as the man guided him around the corner, where three women stood waiting. He stared at them blankly. Only the woman in the middle seemed remotely familiar.
"This is your mother," the man said, gesturing toward the woman in the center.
