Roy Keane criticised John Stones for his reaction to Mario Mandzukic's winner
England's World Cup dream ended at the semi-final stage on Wednesday night.
Although Croatia posed an ominous challenge in the final four, there was a quiet feeling that England would never have an easier passage to the World Cup final.
And it all started so perfectly with Kieran Trippier sending the country into raptures with a superb free-kick just five minutes into the game.
However, England couldn't hold onto their lead in the end with Ivan Perisic forcing extra-time when he prodded home in front of Kyle Walker's diving header.
Fast forward to the 109th minute and it was heartbreak for the Three Lions.
Croatia 2-1 England
Mario Mandzukic swept the ball past Jordan Pickford on his left-foot after some questionable England defending, booking Croatia's place in the final as a result.
The result has since been met with positivity from England and rightfully so, but the defeat was certainly avoidable and the winning goal falls into that category too.
Roy Keane was present in the ITV studio for the game and wasn't happy with John Stones' role in the Mandzukic goal as well as his reaction to it.
Keane slams Stones on ITV
Keane explained: "We've talked about how comfortable England are playing out from the back and that it's in their DNA and Stones is comfortable on the ball but you still have the act of defending. Players smelling danger.
"Stones is ball watching and then when the goal goes in he's looking at people as if he should have got a shout. You're not going to get a shout in a World Cup semi-final. You've got to be aware of it and deal with it yourself.
"He does get caught out defensively."
In the opinion of Keane, not only was Stones guilty of ball-watching but a failure to accept responsibility for the goal.
Harsh or not, Gary Neville concurred.
"Stones has switched off for that goal and he'll know he's made a mistake and he'll have to carry that with him," Neville noted shortly afterwards.
That's the cruel reality of playing for England at the top level and they'll certainly be players within the squad wondering what could have been.
However, this is a young England team and there's every chance they could go onto improve at Euro 2020 and beyond.
Gareth Southgate has brought a belief back to the England set-up and for all the heartbreak of Wednesday night, there's great reason to feel proud and optimistic.

Firefighters, others race to top of Trump Parc for charity
STAMFORD -- At the 35th floor in Trump Parc, the luxury high-rise on Washington Boulevard that dwarfs every other building in Stamford, the hallway next to the elevators was filled with red-faced, panting, sweating and coughing firefighters and civilians.
They had just walked, jogged or sprinted up 68 flights of stairs, and all were feeling the burn. Rich Rosario, a 30-year-old from Rhode Island, said his legs felt like rubber. Despite pacing himself, the 34-story stair climb was "five minutes of hell," he said.
Rosario was one of 275 stair-climbers who participated in the first-ever "Tackle Trump Parc" fundraiser Saturday organized by the American Lung Association. The event raised more than $50,000 through participant entry fees and other donations, and allowed for some healthy competition among teams of professional firefighters from different cities and towns in Fairfield County, said Margaret LaCroix, spokeswoman for the American Lung Association.
The 90 or so firefighters in the event had to compete in their full turn-out gear -- about 60 pounds of clothing and equipment -- and vied for a traveling trophy that goes to the reigning champion of stair-climbing at Trump Parc.
Firefighters from Stamford Fire & Rescue swept the event's awards and had the fastest firefighter, largest team and fastest average time.
Firefighter Al Hagander of Stamford Fire & Rescue took the top spot among firefighters, climbing all 34 stories in 4 minutes and 23 seconds. The name of the the overall winner was not available at press time, but times among all participants ranged between 3 and 9 minutes, event organizers said.
Jim Tarzia, a firefighter with Stamford Fire & Rescue, helped organize a team of stair-climbers from his department. They had been training in the stairwells of Trump Parc since February.
"I said, `It's what we do,'" Tarzia said of urban firefighting. "We climb stairs."
Some participants had strategies, like skipping over every other stair. For Tarzia and his firefighters, however, it was simple -- run as fast as you can.
"Your legs burn," he said, after collecting his breath in the 35th-floor hallway, fellow firefighters panting around him. "It's a sprint."
Jim LaCroix, a volunteer for the American Lung Association and the husband of its spokeswoman, was stationed on the 35th floor and helped collect bracelets from stair-climbers that contained a microchip that helped signal when they crossed the finish line.
What impressed him the most were the children and teenagers participating in the event. A 10-year-old girl breezed up the stairs and finished with no problem, he said.
"It's the kids who amazed me the most," LaCroix said. "They're remarkable."
In the stairwell, cheerleaders from Stamford High School egged on the climbers and a bagpiper provided some inspirational music.
Dennis Moriconi, a 21-year-old from Malden, Mass., drove three hours to Stamford last night for the event. While several of the participants were there to honor family members who died from lung disease, Moriconi came for the competition. He has run in marathons and other races, and wanted a challenge.
"I'm pretty competitive," he said after the race in the event's reception area on the 7th floor. "I like racing and doing things for charities. I thought it was a good combination."
His 17-year-old sister, Joelle, had just finished the climb, taking the elevator from the 35th floor back down to meet her brother. Her brow dripped with sweat, and she felt like she was dying, she said.
"My legs feel like they're on fire," she said. "I didn't do a lot of running up."
Event organizers said other firefighters came from the Belltown Fire Department in Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, Ridgefield, West Hartford, Westport and Wilton. Organizers said the American Lung Association will hold another stair climb in November next year.

In September 1967, the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) was formally inaugurated in Darmstadt, Germany, to provide satellite control for the European Space Research Organisation, today known as ESA. ESOC began just a decade after the 1957 start of the space age, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite.
The facility later known as ESOC had been established in the fall of 1963 as ESDAC, the European Space Data Centre; with the renaming and re-purposing for spacecraft operations, the centre and its 90 staff moved to a new facility located on the west side of Darmstadt. ESOC was opened on 8 September 1967 by then-Minister of Research of the Federal Republic of Germany, Gerhard Stoltenberg.
By May 1968, ESOC, as part of ESRO, was already conducting its first operations, controlling ESRO-2B, a scientific research satellite and the first in a long series of successful missions operated from ESOC for ESRO, and later ESA.
The establishment of ESOC and the subsequent evolution of ESRO and ELDO into ESA with the Ariane launcher programme proved that Europeans working together could not only build satellites and boosters, but could also operate sophisticated missions as well. In the decades since then, robotic satellites controlled from ESOC have voyaged deep into our Solar System, exploring not only our home planet, but also the Moon, the Sun, Venus, Mars and Titan - a moon of Saturn and the most remote place ever reached by a man-made object. In 2014, Rosetta reached comet 67P/Cheryumoc-Gerasimenko, dispatching a lander to the surface.
Closer to home, Earth missions flown from ESOC have contributed to understanding our planet's atmosphere, oceans, land, ice, weather, climate and changing environment.

Abstract: The most common role of a domestic dog in the developed world currently is that of companion. Puppy socialization practices play a large role in the development of well-adjusted adult dogs that display few undesirable behaviors, and which can establish a positive, lifelong relationship with their owner. Age-appropriate socialization practices should begin within a few days of birth, and should extend well into adulthood. These practices should aim to provide exposure to many of the types of experiences, people, and objects that the dog is likely to encounter over the course of its life, in a controlled and pleasant way. Dogs that are appropriately socialized as puppies are less likely to exhibit behavioral problems as adults, including aggression and fearfulness. They are more likely to engage in positive social behaviors with humans, and can learn how to play games with humans better than dogs without proper socialization. However, the evidence in support of puppy socialization classes is less clear. There is some evidence that puppy classes positively impact adult behavior, but other studies show no clear benefit. Since socialization should begin early in a puppy's life, it is the responsibility of the breeder and the owner. Breeders can ensure that puppies are exposed to age-appropriate experiences while in the litter, and owners must ensure that the dog continues to have varied experiences throughout its life. Veterinarians are also an important part of this process, and are heavily relied upon by owners to provide information about health and behavior. Since veterinarians often see puppies during vaccinations, owners can be educated about proper socialization practices at those visits. Future research should aim to determine the minimum amounts of socialization required for a puppy, and whether there is a maximum amount, beyond which there is no benefit, or even a disadvantage.

LUMBERTON – A Lumberton man traded gunfire with three men who forced their way into his home, robbed the family, tried to rape his granddaughter and stole his car Monday, Robeson County authorities said.
One of the men, identified as Jamie Faison, 20, was shot and found dead in the stolen Cadillac parked at his home on the 600 block of Singletary Church Road, Sheriff Kenneth Sealey said in a news release.
The two other men turned up at area hospitals with gunshot wounds.
The homeowner, Kenneth Byrd, 67, was shot multiple times, the release said.
Authorities received a call about 10 p.m. that someone had been shot at a home on the 100 block of Yedda Road, east of Lumberton.
Deputies responded and found Byrd, his wife, Judy, 65, and his 19-year-old granddaughter at the home.
The family told them that a man came to the door and said he was having problems with his vehicle and needed water.

Chartier and DMAC Spoonbill savor 221.5-point winWednesday, July 31st, 2013
Cullen Chartier and DMAC Spoonbill commanded an eleventh hour win with 221.5 points in Tuesday's John Deere Open Limited Finals.
Dean Domann, who scored 220 points as the third entry from 20 finalists in the two-set finals, placed as reserve champion.
"I'm on cloud nine" right now," said Chartier, following the win. "I knew I had a good horse, I just didn't know he could do that."
It was the first win in Fort Worth for Chartier, 26, whose richest previous win came in the 2012 Open Limited Southern Futurity.
"He's honest and doesn't ever step a foot out of place and that's a testament to Paul," said Chartier, who was catch-riding DMAC Spoonbill for Paul Hansma, one of the sport's top ten all-time leading money earners with over $5.1 million.
DMAC Spoonbill, by Hes A Petospoonful, was purchased by  Steve Dees in 2012 at the Marvine Ranch Reduction Sale. Following the sale, Dees put the horse with Hansma at Bar H Ranch in Weatherford, where Chartier is an assistant.
Dees placed seventh with the gelding in the NCHA Futurity Non-Pro Ltd division; won the 2013 Abilene Spectacular Amateur UnLimited; was third in the Cattlemen's Amatuer Derby; and placed in both amateur divisions of the Breeders Invitational.
Chartier also qualified DMAC Spoonbill for Wednesday's Open Gelding Derby Finals, where Hansma will ride Hez All Cat, owned by Lori Maling, an Open Derby finalist for Hansma, as well, as is Overdrive, owned by Dub and Christy Leeth.
"I've always loved watching Paul show and loved watching his horses," said Chartier. "He trains a real cowhorse and I always thought, if I could ever chose anybody to work for, it would be Paul. And last year it came true.
"It's been great. We work really hard, but there are no bad days. I love it."
Cullen's brother, R.L. Chartier, showed Light N Lily as an Open Finalist in last week's Classic Challenge for Kaitlyn Larsen, and qualified SDP Overdrive for Richard Hollingworth in the Derby Open Finals.
Reserve champion Dean Dorman and owner Rodney Wrinkle, Lebanon, Mo., purchased Cantebury Cat, by High Brow Cat, as a weanling.
"He was bred good and he looked the part," said Domann, 38, who 10Â days ago won the Summer Spectacular Open Classic Challenge Limited and was also an Open finalist aboard Cherrey, owned by Wrinkle Cutting Horses.
Domann, many times champion in fall futurities that precede the NCHA Futurity, won the 2012 NCHA Eastern National Championship $3,000 Novice with KTZ Rey Of Cash, who he also showed as reserve champion of the 2012Â NCHA Super Stakes Classic Open Limited.
John Carter, 1925-2013Friday, July 26th, 2013
Legendary cutter, raconteur and NCHA Hall of Fame inductee John Carter passed away July 24.
Born in Denton County, Texas, Carter was breaking horses by the time he was nine. His father, Homer Carter, had a band of "Spanish mares" that he bred to a Percheron stallion. The resulting colts were nearly four before Homer thought they were ready for their first saddle.
"You'd better be bowed up when you got up there," John said of those rough-string days on his father's farm where he also broke a white Brahman bull. The bull was the first of his breed in North Texas and Homer bought him in 1937 to start his own herd. In order to dispel rumors about the Brahman's man-eating disposition, Homer had John and his brother ride "Tag" as proof his docile disposition.
Carter said he left home at 13 to work as a cowhand, until he joined the services in 1942. When he returned from duty, he married Jerry. Their sons, Punk and Roy, were born in 1946 and 1951.
He saw his first cutting at the 1948 Fort Worth Fat Stock Show, when George Glascock and Benny Binion's gelding won. Since Carter had always ridden a "handling horse," the cutting horses made quite an impression. Soon John was using one of his father's mares to cut, although Marge already had a reputation as a roping horse.
"She was a Waggoner-bred mare," Carter recalled. "A little dun mare, broncy, but nice. My brother-in-law borrowed her one time and said that he couldn't stop her, so he roped a fence post. Tore the saddle off of her and liked to killed him."
One day when John was hauling Marge in his 1946 Studebaker pickup, he slid into a ditch and the mare was killed. "It was a year before I told him," says John, remembering the dreaded moment when his father learned the news.
Carter said his first cutting horse was half-Tennessee Walker and half-Quarter Horse. "She'd 'saddle' to the herd but she'd really work a cow," said Carter. Then he rode Brian H for Bob Hunsaker. "I won the first big cutting that I went to and that kind of spoiled me," Carter admits. "I thought I was King Kong."
In the beginning, Carter received a lot of help from Bob Burton, who owned the great cutting champion Miss Nancy Bailey and the celebrated Paint mare, Calamity Jane. "He'd help you until you beat him, and then he'd cuss you," recalled Carter.
Carter's big break came when he went to work for B.A. "Barney" Skipper Jr. of Longview, Texas, wealthy oilman who chartered planes to fly Poco Lena from coast to coast when he was campaigning her in the late 1950s.
"I worked for $200 a month and broke 40-head of horses," Carter said. "When I sold Poco Mona (to Edgar Brown) for $20,000, I went with her and Skipper told me, 'Boy, I had you in my will.'Â I told him, 'The way things are going, you're going to outlive me.'"
Brown also employed Matlock Rose, Bubba Cascio, and Amye Gamblin. "We had the top six horses in the country in that barn," said Carter. "At one time we were riding 100 horses. He would tell us if one beat us to buy it."
As the years went by, Carter kept up with the changing times. "I rode a lot of those feather-legged horses that would buck you off in a New York minute, but if you rode them far enough they were pretty good. What we called a good horse back then wasn't anything compared to now. But we don't drive a Model-T anymore either."
Carter was the go-to man for settling the herd at the Futurity for decades, a role he reprised at the NCHA Futurity Champions Cup in 2011.
He enjoyed watching his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren excel at cutting, was inducted into the NCHA Riders Hall of Fame in 1989 and the Members Hall of Fame in 2000. A list of the great horses he watched reads like a Who's Who of cutting horse history.
"Marion's Girl was one of the greatest mares that I've ever seen," he said. "Sugar Vaquero rung his tail and jumped up and down because he was an athlete. Jessie James was a nice, ill, cow-eating athlete.
"But there's a bunch of good ones now," he added in 1994. "Back then you'd go to a 100-horse cutting and have ten horses to beat. Now you go to a 100-horse cutting and you have 99 to beat. Its a lot different, and cutting has come along with the times. That's good, but if you don't think that youth takes over, you're a complete idiot. That's just life."
Services for the legendary John Carter will be held Monday, July 29 at 6 p.m. in Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum in Fort Worth. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the NCHA Foundation, 260 Bailey Ave., Fort Worth, TX 76107, to support the National High School Rodeo Association Finals cutting.
Rice and Cooper take Youth titlesFriday, July 26th, 2013
Trea Rice and Lance Cooper were on point Thursday with 226 and 225-point wins, respectively, in the Senior and Junior Youth Scholarship Finals.
Lane Wood with 221.5 points and Sheridan Clark with 220Â points claimed the Senior and Junior Youth reserve titles.
"She's just awesome," said Rice, 15, of her mount, CR Sun Reys, owned by Center Ranch. "That's the highest score that I've ever marked."
Boyd Rice, Trea's father, has shown 5-year-old CR Sun Reys to earn over $140,000 for Center Ranch in open competition, most recently as champion of the Bonanza Classic. Trea was also a finalist as a Junior Youth in 2011 aboard Dual It My Way.
Lance Cooper, 12, steadied his nerves by remembering to stay focused, and was buoyed by the memory of his 223-point ride on A Little Bossy in the 2012 Junior Youth go-round.
"I knew I could get second or third, if I didn't lose a cow," said Lance, son of trainer Michael Cooper.
Lance was riding A Little Bossy, owned by Gary and Karen Fields, for the second consecutive year. The eight-year-old gelded son of CD Lights has a sterling reputation in Fort Worth. Last year, he won the NCHA Open World Finals under R.L Chartier with 231 points and the $10,000 Novice World Finals with 227 points.
Senior Youth reserve champion Lane Wood, 17, and her family-owned mount Pepto Boom, by Peptoboonsmal, are no strangers to Fort Worth, either. In 2012, they won the NCHA World Finals $35,000 Non-Pro division aand placed fifth in the World Finals Senior Youth division.
This year, Lane and Pepto Boon took reserve in the NCHA World Series Non-Pro at San Antonio and placed fifth in the series at Houston.
"He does whatever I want," said Lane. "I can ask him for his heart and he'll give it to me. He's taken me to the winner's circle many times. He's mine and he takes care of me."
Lane and her father, world champion rider Kobie Wood, are currently ranked in the top five open and non-pro standings for 2013. Her mother, Paula, was 2012 NCHA Futurity Non-Pro champion on Donas Suen Boon.
Although Sheridan Clark, 13, is a three-times Junior Youth finalist, this year stands alone for her.
"I was so excited to be able to ride her, " said Sheridan of her mount Special Nu Kitty, owned by Wrigley Ranches.
"She stops so hard for a little horse and does so many cool things. She crawls around and has her head on the ground the whole time."
Nine-year-old Special Nu Kitty, by High Brow Cat, created a sensation in the 2007 NCHA Futurity, when she scored 227 points in the first go-round under Clint Allen. She went on to claim offical NCHA earnings of $298,770 under Allen, owner Julie Wrigley, and trainer R.L. Chartier.
Special Nu Kitty's first money earner is 4-year-old One Time Kitty, with $32,422.
Tieperman, Dedden share Amateur Derby titleThursday, July 25th, 2013
Dual scores of 217 points earned Robert Tieperman, Jewett, Tex., and Matthew Dedden, Edmond, Okla., co-champion's titles in the Rios of Mercedes Amateur Derby Finals, the first of four amateur showdowns on Wednesday's schedule.
Tieperman rode Sugar Fatz, who carried him as Reserve Amateur champion and Reserve Amateur Unlimited. champion in the NCHA Super Stakes.
"He's gotten so much stronger just in the last two months," said Tieperman of his Smart Sugar Badger gelding, trained by Craig Thompson. "I really had a strong mindset coming into this one. He is just so much fun to show."
Tieperman and Sugar Fatz also claimed the Amateur reserve title at the Tunica Futurity and placed sixth in the Amateur unlimited.
Matthew Dedden, 15, admitted to feeling more nervous in the go-round than in the finals.
"This is my first time to show here in a limited age event, so it's pretty special to win it the first time," he said. "I just wanted to make it to the finals and not mess anything up."
Dedden rode Cats Miller Time, by High Brow Cat, a gelding trained by Tommy Marvin that Dedden purchased last month at The Non Pro Cutting.
I've been cutting since I was eight," said Dedden, who placed third in 2012 NCHA Junior Youth World standings. "I started on a beginner horse and worked my way up and now it's my life."
Amateur Classic Challenge Champion and Reserve
Gary Rosenbach, Vail, CO, nailed the Amateur Classic championship with 218 points on six-year-old Tapt Out, who he had shown as reserve champion of the 2013 NCHA Super Stakes Amateur Classic.
In addition, Rosenbach split 12/13 with 211 points in the same set of yesterday's Amateur Classic finals on SDP Locked N Loaded, where he also showed Bet Harolds A Cat for just the second time and lost a cow.
"I like how smart and gritty he is," said Rosenbach of Tapt Out, a gelded son of Smart Little Lena and half-brother to all-time winning mare Dont Look Twice.
Tapt Out was trained by Ryon Emerton and has earned over $100,000 under Rosenbach and Michael Cooper, resident trainer for Rosenbach's Rose Valley Ranch.
Taylor Carbo and his six-year-old stallion Moms Stilish Cat set the bar with 217 points early in the first set of the Amateur Classic Challenge to come through with the reserve championship.
Last year the duo won the event, then followed with a reserve in the Brazos Bash Amateur Classic.
This year they won the NCHA Super Stakes Non-Pro Ltd; took reserve in the Bonanza Amateur Unlimited and the Abilene Spectacular Non-Pro Ltd; and won the Bonanza Ltd. In addition, Jeremy Barwick, Carbo's mentor and trainer, was reserve champion with Moms Stilish Cat in the Abilene Spectacular Open.
"I am very fortunate," said Carbo. "I have a great team and it's been fun.
"This stud is something special. He's got a big stop and he's so snakey across a cow. Everytime we go down there he gives 100 percent. It's fun every time."
Brandon Dufurrena wins Classic Challenge Non-ProWednesday, July 24th, 2013
"I really wanted to do well on her, this being her last run in here," said Brandon Dufurrena, following his 223-point win aboard six-year-old Nievas, by Cats Merada, in the Classic Challenge Non-Pro.
"I feel like I've had the opportunity before and just never sealed the deal. I just had to let the chips fall where they would and she was really good."
Kaitlyn Larsen scored 221 points to take reserve with homebred Light N Lily, by Light N Lena. Steven Feiner scored 217.5 points for third aboard Thundercat, who was also a finalist in the Classic Challenge Ltd. Non-Pro Finals, and placed fourth in the Open Finals under Wes Galyean.
"The cows were just decent," said Dufurrena, who drew first to work in the second set; Larsen showed as the third rider in the first set. "They would start out good and then they'd stop. When they do that, a horse will kind of get to stuttering. But as soon as they would break again, it was like she was starting her run all over again. She is very, very smart."
Dufurrena, 2012 NCHA Non-Pro World Champion credits Nievas's experience on the road last year in weekend shows with helping her be able to "step up and not get rattled" in difficult situations.
Nievas and Dufurrena won the 2011 NCHA Derby Non-Pro Ltd and placed third in the 2012 NCHA Non-Pro Super Stakes Classic.
Kaitlyn Larsen also credits weekend "hauling" for giving her six-year-old mare Light N Lily an edge in limited age competition.
Less than $1,000 separated reserve champion Larsen and champion Dufurrena, in last year's NCHA Non-Pro World standings.
"I credit it so much with taking her down the road last year," said Larsen. "When you're hauling, the horses are not as pampered, and she learned the hard way how to be a solid horse."
Light N Lily, currently a leading contender for 2013 NCHA Non-Pro Horse of the Year, was also an Open Classic Challenge finalist under R.L .Chartier, and carried Larsen as 2013 NCHA Super Stakes Classic Non-Pro champion.
"She's had a long week," said Larsen. "But I don't think it was as hard as it might have been for her last year.
"My first cow tonight was real tough and I loved it. Those are the kind you want to have in the finals, and she's so much fun to cut tough cows on.
"I was frustrated that I didn't get my second cow separated real pretty, but it ended up being a good cow. We cut all three cows that we talked about cutting and they were all good.
"The cows in the second herd were not as good and I felt bad for people because there were a lot of nice horses in there.
"I was hoping just to finish in the top three or four with a 221, but we hung in there for second.
Lennox and Domann split the winTuesday, July 23rd, 2013
Salvador Cabral and High Up Cat set the tone for the John Deere Division Open Limited Finals on Monday with a gritty 220-point opening run in the 12-horse field.
Cabral was immediately followed by Dean Domann on Cherrey, who took the lead with a 222-point performance.
Jesse Lennox and Sally Cats Hot, number 10 in the working order, threatened to upset Domann's lead, but in the end drew 222 points, to tie for the championship.
Fons De Barbanson and Felix The Cat, and John Kirby with One Time Shorty tied with 219 points to split fourth and fifth.
Burke Sullivant and Need A Nurse Now scored 215.5 points to tie with Adan Banuelos and Magic With Moves and split sixth and seventh.
This was the second consecutive championship win for Lennox and Sally Cats Hot, who also claimed the 2013 Super Stakes Classic Open Ltd. for owner and breeder Rocking W Ranch.
"She's just a great mare and I'm lucky to get to ride her," said Lennox of the six-year-old Spots Hot daughter. "It's that Rocking W horse power that Miss Alice (Walton) has been breeding for four or five generations that makes all the difference."
Lennox also placed tenth last night on Walton-owned and bred Rose Rey, who he showed on Saturday night in the Classic Challenge Open Finals.
Boon San Spoon, whose dam is a full sister to the dam of Sally Cats Hot, afforded Lennox, 23, his first brush with success in Fort Worth, with 222 points and third place in the 2012 NCHA Futurity Open Ltd.
Lennox grew up in Ontario, Canada, where his parents are social workers and where he cleaned stalls for the opportunity to ride horses. Later, trainer Gerry Hansma took Lennox under his wing, and four years ago Lennox moved to Texas to apprentice with Tony Piggott and Gary Gonsalves, and eventually took up the reins with Rocking W Ranch.
The John Deere Classic Challenge co-championship win was Dean Dormann's first in Fort Worth.
"This is the first time that I've done very good with her at a big show," said Dormann of six-year-old Cherrey, sired by Dual Rey and owned by Rodney Wrinkle. Cherrey and Dormann also were finalists in the Classic Challenge Open Finals.
Domann, 38, trains for Wrinkle Cutting Horses, Gainseville, Tex., and purchased Cherrey last year from Burke Sullivant, who scored 215.5 points on Need A Nurse Now in last night's finals.
"She has a pretty way of doing things and is real cowy," said Domann of Cherrey, who is a half-sister, out of world champion Shesa Smarty Lena, to the dam of Metallic Cat.
Domann was reserve champion of the 2012 NCHA Super Stakes Classic Ltd on KTZ Rey Of Cash.

This was taken a few years ago when I re-united with a good friend of mine from high school. I graduated from this high school in Southern California in 1968.
I'm flying out on the O-dark-thirty flight to John Wayne Airport in Southern California for a few days with my pop, siblings and nieces and nephews. My family is Russian and this sign that says no to Vodka is part of my upbringing, too. Russian yes, but Vodka no, growing up. Some things stay the same and some things change.
These were all places that were part of my life growing up in Pico Rivera and Montebello.
On Sundays coming home from church we sometimes stopped at 31 Flavors Ice Cream and we were able to choose 3 scoops! That's was quite a treat for us. In junior high school Currie Ice Cream was across the street and we were able to go off campus and get lunch there if we had 35 cents for a hot dog and chips. The Garmar theater is the first walk in theater that I saw a movie in. Garduno's was a fast food stand that was a favorite in high school where we had open campus, too, for our lunch time. Good Mexican food and pastrami.
I'll have lots to share from my family time when I get back home. Hope everyone is doing well.

When Chrissy Teigen and John Legend slip away for a child-free meal, they are guilty of breaking out their phones — but it has nothing to do with Instagram withdrawal. The parents just want to look at pictures of their 22-month-old daughter, Luna.
"We never thought we'd be those people," Teigen told Us Weekly recently at a Vita Coco Coconutmilk event. "But it's fun. She went sledding for the first time, and we shared videos of that on date night."
Teigen, 32, can't believe how fast her first-born is growing up. (Luna will 2 in in April!) "She's such a toddler," the supermodel told Us. "She's a new human this week. I never like to brag about any of her milestones because next week it'll be a different story."
But some things remain consistent with Luna. "She likes old-school things," the Cravings cookbook author revealed. "She's crazy about filing nails. Like, she thinks thinks manicurists are the kings and queens of the world. So I got her a nail kit — and she goes to town on that."
Luna will soon have to share with a sibling. Teigen and her R&B singer husband are expecting their second child, a baby boy. And Teigen admits she has no idea what to expect when it comes to juggling two little ones.
"I've never really been around children, aside form Luna," she admitted to Us. "I don't know what's normal, so I'm excited to see how they compare, learning process-wise. I don't know if she's a genius!"
Teigen announced she and Legend are expanding their family in an adorable Instagram video in November. In the sweet clip, she asked Luna, "What's in here?" prompting the toddler to respond excitedly, "BB!"

Does Chris Harrison Think Sharleen Could've Won?
Do you need a little Monday pick-me-up? Have I got the thing for you! Grantland's Juliet Litman talked to Chris Harrison about, uh duh, The Bachelor. Couldn't put the video in my eyes fast enough. The interview is excellent. They candidly discuss Juan Pablo Galavis (UH DUH), Sharleen Joynt, Clare Crawley, traveling with the show, Galavis's love for his family, the Olympics, the key to a show's success, and more.
Here are a few of my favorite parts from the inty:
Bachelor vs. Bachelorette!
When it comes to The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, can Harrison pick a favorite? Sure can. And the winner is... The Bachelor.
"Bachelor gives us better television. Girls get better drama, they get better TV. Guys are just, like, physical, like, 'I have a problem with you. Great. Let's pull it out and put it on the table and measure it and move on.' That's the way guys are," Harrison says. "So if we have a fight, an hour later we're drinking beer and bro-ing it up. That's not good TV. That lasted 30 minutes. Whereas women, like Nikki and Clare, that'll last weeks, it'll fester, it'll go on. It might last a lifetime."Harrison, you know what you're doing. I don't doubt your reality TV expertise. I'm not trying to challenge you. But like... have you watched Vanderpump Rules? Those guys are not always "move on and grab a beer" types. Get those dudes on The Bachelorette. You'll get excellent TV out of it.
Obvi, they chat about Joynt, the contestant who might've won had she not quit the show. Harrison tells Litman that there was buzz surrounding Joynt even before he met her, and that the casting department thought she was "probably the winner."
Does Harrison think Joynt could've won the show? "I don't know," he says. "There were a lot of hurdles left to go, and Nikki's come on so strong and Clare's been there, so it's hard to say she would've made it to the finals or been the one, but man, she was definitely on top of the list when she left."Way to be, Joynt. Secure your status, quit while you're ahead, and live on as a Bachelor legend.
How did the other contestants feel about Joynt? Harrison says they were ambivalent about her because they didn't realize what a frontrunner she was. "I don't think they understood how much he liked Sharleen," Harrison explains. "And I think that helped her fly under the radar." STEALTH STYLE. Again, way to be, Joynt.
Harrison says he, like many of us, was not cool with the way Galavis handled the ocean canoodle sitch with Crawley.
"We talked about it in Vietnam, we didn't air it, but we did discuss it, and he never really quite understood why he made her cry or why that was a bad thing," Harrison explains. "And I'm like, 'You agreed. It was consensual. You can't all of the sudden turn around and un-ring that bell. The toothpaste is out. You can't put it back in the tube.'" LOL at the toothpaste metaphor. Well played, Harrison.
"I've always approached everybody very honestly. I'm for them and I want it to work. But I'm also gonna call you out if I think you're doing something wrong. If you're mistreating a girl or you did something, I'll call you out on it," Harrison continues. "To me, that was a very glaring error. He made this woman cry. He made her feel really cheap and bad. And if you felt that bad or that worried about it, then don't go. To me, what you did in the pool before whatever you did in the ocean is worse … It just seemed unfair to me. I tried to point that out to him. I don't think he ever quite got it."
So what did Harrison think about Galavis's apology to Crawley? It seems like he feels that it missed the mark. "I was watching it, and I thought, 'I don't think they ever really came to a common agreement about what happened,'" he said.
If that's the case, why was Crawley so ready to accept it? "I think she just wanted to kiss him again, and she was like, 'Okay, I'm just going to let this go.'" Mack Attack Galavis strikes again.
Love 'Em Or Hate 'Em!
"I don't really care if you love [the Bachelor] or hate him, I just need you to have an opinion. The only thing that kills me is apathy. As soon as you're apathetic, my show is dead. I need you to care," says Harrison. "I don't care if you're mad and want to kill me or kill Juan Pablo, I don't care. That's great. You're watching. You'll be the first person tweeting, 'I hate you this this and this' and tell me everything that happened on the show. I'm like, 'Good. I have you for life.'"I don't know which quote made me laugh more: "I don't care if you're mad and want to kill me or kill Juan Pablo" or "Good. I have you for life."
Hey, ya know what? You probably should go ahead and check out the entire interview:

Imagery with Impact
Weekly images for scouting intelligence integrated into a software platform
We were approached by a digital ag software company providing precision crop management tools to ag retailers and farms on a global basis. They have enabled 3rd party imagery services on their platform through various collaborations and structures in the past, but image quality, frequency, delivery at scale, and cost were always challenges. Via a Season-long subscription to FieldSnapTM, GDA is providing a robust solution, with automated calibration and delivery of Sentinel class imagery into their system under a workable structure and price.
Sharpened imagery with Cloud ID for commodity modeling
A large commodity trading company was having a difficult time getting the visibility they wanted on production of a specific commodity in a particular region. Via our On-request capability in GeoChroniclesTM, we provide our client with automated, frequent time series of images from numerous sources all sharpened to 10m with cloud identification as an improved input into their proprietary modelling platform.
Advanced Crop Analysis
Crop Type NDVI
A customer needed to get accurate information on the condition and yield potential of sorghum in a major producing region of Australia. Because of local crop calendar and crop combination, a typical cropland NDVI value does not provide good precision for sorghum analysis. Using our unique approach to developing Crop Type NDVI, we were able to provide precise in-season and historical analysis of sorghum condition and yield potential for the client. While our crop specific approach is particularly valuable in a unique scenario like this, it adds precision to crop analysis in any growing region and for any crop.
Global Scale Yield Potential
One of our clients, USDA Foreign Agricultural Service continuously monitors multiple crops on a global basis and provides agricultural intelligence for the US government. In 2005 they were looking for an objective third party provider to do some independent analysis as a cross check to their methods and results. For the last 12 years, GDA has been this provider. Using our expertise in image processing, image analysis, and crop type identification, we conduct crop condition and yield prediction analysis for USDA-FAS on about 15 crops in all major producing countries.

text: (Updates data, quotes, chart) * U.S. Q4 2017 GDP grew 2.6 percent, below forecasts * Two-year note yield hits nine-year high * Bank of Japan governor sees signs of inflation By Kate Duguid NEW YORK, Jan 26 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury yields rose Friday following data showing the nation's economy grew 2.6 percent in the final quarter of 2017 and the governor of the Bank of Japan said inflation is finally close to reaching its target. Gross domestic product grew slower than the 3 percent increase forecast among economists polled by Reuters. Nevertheless, the market response was muted, with benchmark 10-year note yields falling within a basis point, before paring losses, suggesting investors remained confident in the underlying health of the economy and the Federal Reserve's plan to hike interest rates in March. The GDP "number looked like a bit of a disappointment, but when you strip out trade and inventories you end up with GDP growth - excluding those two factors - that was well above 4 percent," said Brian Daingerfield, macro strategist at NatWest Markets in Stamford, Connecticut. The advance estimate of GDP offered insight into the U.S. economy before President Donald Trump's tax cuts took effect. Trump has previously cited 3 percent growth as a target rate for the country. The GDP number "should give Federal Reserve officials some cover to offer a stronger statement at the January FOMC next week," said Guy LeBas, chief fixed income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia. Treasury yields also rose in afternoon trading after Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said wages and prices were gradually rising, though there remained a number of factors preventing the central bank from reaching its 2 percent inflation target. Bond yields and inflation rates move in tandem, as investors require a higher yield to compensate for inflation risk. Kuroda said the central bank would continue its policy of quantitative easing, citing challenges to the economy posed by globalization and a "tenacious" deflationary mindset. However, the Bank of Japan is the second-largest holder of Treasuries in the world and any suggestion of tightening monetary policy can spook markets. "Even a modest hint from the Bank of Japan that they're turning slightly more constructive on inflation is notable given how sensitive the market is to the possibility that some of the world's most accommodative central banks are starting to change their mentality on the growth-inflation balance," said Daingerfield. At 3:26 p.m. (2026 GMT), the yield on 10-year Treasury notes was 2.660 percent, above Thursday's close at 2.621 percent. The two-year note yield reached a high of 2.132, its highest since September 2008.

Duration: 90 min; $10. No, the writers of Kung Fu Panda didn't just randomly decide to throw a tiger, crane, leopard, and snake into the mix. Along with the dragon, these animals are actually part of the Shao Lin five animals, each with unique characteristics that provide the kung fu practitioner with an array of offensive and defensive fighting techniques. Come learn the specialties of each animal at Chien Hong School of Kung Fu! You'll learn the Tiger Form that uses palm strikes, fists, and other hard-pressing attacks. Then you'll sharpen the aim and speed of your attacks with the Crane Form. With the Leopard Form, you'll hit the opponent's vital areas, such as the throat, solar plexus, and the groin. But Kung Fu isn't all about attacking -- one must also cultivate mental strength and focus.

Nice PR, Mr. B.!
Nice PR, Mr. B.!
holy shit dude that's awesome. Four plate club, watch out!
Mr. Bingley, you are doing big numbers these days! Great going.
thanks carson! I'm getting so close that I can taste a 3 plate squat and 4 plate dead; when I remember where I started it is very, very satisfying.
tues 1/12/16
SQ 45 1x10, 135 1x5, 185 1x5, 225 1x5, 240 3x10

wanted to try and get the 50 done at 240 but the lower back was getting fatigued at the end of the 3rd set so I decided not to push it too much.
And what better way to re-energize a fatigued lower back than some dead lifts? lol
Nice work Mr.B

Article Text
A qualitative histochemical assessment of glycogen loss in biopsies was made in bush-babies after running and jumping. Glycogen loss was related to the specific type of exercise. After running, glycogen loss was greatest in the slow-twitch oxidative fibre and depletion in the fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic fibres was similarly greater than in the fast-twitch glycolytic fibres. After jumping, the opposite pattern of glycogen utilization occurred (FG>FOG>SO).

The Great War/ the War to end all wars or the First World War began on 28th of July 1914 and ended on 11th November 1918. 70 million fought in this war and by the time it ended 9 million had lost their lives of these at least 110 and probably many more were from Roscrea.
When John Redmond urged the nationalists to enlist with the promise of home rule, about 500 men from Roscrea and surrounding areas volunteered. Some of those came home with the scars both physically and mentally of what no human should have to see. Some drowned in the mud and even today their bones and equipment are coming to the surface when the land is ploughed each year.
These are typical stories of the men from Roscrea who fought and died. Those who made it home came back to the war of independence .They put their tin trunk under the bed and some never spoke of it again only to have these trunks opened two or three generations later by grandchildren who knew nothing of their story. Very few families in town were not affected by this war in some way.
In the Church of Ireland and in Legion Villas there are memorials to these brave men.
When the guns were eventually silenced nearly 2000 men from North Tipperary alone had lost their lives.
. People like Kate and Gilbert Kavanagh whose five sons went to fight; only one came home after spending time in a POW camp and having his leg amputated. Kate and Jane Nixon who had six sons enlist and only four came back, all those who died as well as those who returned.
These are just two of the many stories that you will find on this page.
Thanks to Dick Conroy for all his help and research with the following articles.

The thing about Tarzan is that back in the day, he was one of the greatest characters in all of fiction. Tarzan starred in innumerable motion pictures, pulp magazine stories, books and comic strips over the years. And while most Tarzan fiction was pretty good (though opinions differ on some of the later Tarzan flicks), the gold standard for the jungle lord in fiction was in his comic strips – especially the Sunday newspaper strip.
In the day when everybody in society read newspapers, the Sunday funnies were a potent force and the comics rose to that occasion. Especially in the golden age of newspaper strips, between roughly 1925 and the beginning of World War II, the Sunday funnies delivered a veritable idea machine for sophisticated, gorgeously-illustrated material. And as you might expect from my comments above, Tarzan was top in that pantheon of brilliance.
First drawn by the sublime Hal Foster, the Sunday Tarzans were marvels of gorgeous comic art and unique, storybook-style storytelling. When Foster left the strip, the equally sublime Burne Hogarth took it over and gave Tarzan his own unique spin while continuing to deliver the same sort of exquisite artwork that his predecessor had created.
The Jungle Lord was in good hands with Hogarth, a master craftsman and one of the finest realistic illustrators of his era (Hogarth later wrote the definitive text book on anatomy in comics, which goes to show how important he felt that would be. Now availale from Titan Books is a wonderful collection of these Tarzan strips, Tarzan in the Lost City of Gold.
Rather than tell you why Hogarth was so terrific as a way of explaining to you why you should invest in Titan Books's glorious 9×12 inch Complete Hogarth Tarzan volume 1, why not show you excerpts from these Sunday strip pages along with some commentary?
The first thing I noticed reading this book was Hogarth's phenomenal depth of field in his work. Many panels look almost three-dimensional. Take a look at these representative examples:
There's also the two-fisted vitality of his work, a rough-hewn power that both humanizes Tarzan and makes him feel unusual:
And while some of the "acting" in the book is old-fashioned and resembles silent movie acting (not too odd since these stories span 1937 and 1939):
The sense of place and atmosphere is wonderful:
Villains are evil, as they should be (can't you imagine these guys swirling their moustaches sadistically):
Cliffhanger scenes are thrilling (and they come at the bottom of nearly every page in this collection):
A sequence with a group of amazons is especially interesting for the way that characters react to the inversion of gender roles:
The writing on these stories, by journeyman Don Garden, is fine. But this is Burne Hogarth's Tarzan<span
style="line-height: 1.538em;">, and if all the examples above excite and impress you, you must buy this book. I'm glad I have this wonderful collection of art in my collection.

Rainbow appears above Parkland high school as teachers return to work for first time since mass shooting
Teachers reporting back to work at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Monday for the first time since the deadly Feb. 14 mass shooting were greeted by a remarkable sight.
A rainbow appeared in the sky over the Parkland, Florida, high school as faculty members returned to the site of the tragedy to prepare for the official reopening on Wednesday.
WTVJ reporter Darryl Forges shared a photo of the stunning occurrence on Facebook.
On Sunday, many students and faculty members attended a voluntary orientation at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Students walked through the halls where 17 of their classmates and teachers were gunned down in order to collect their backpacks and other belongings that they left behind while fleeing the massacre.
Tears were shed and hugs were exchanged during the difficult return, with multiple students sporting T-shirts that read "Douglas Strong" and "Parkland United," according to the New York Times.
The gathering on Sunday was the beginning of a "phased reopening" of the school, according to Broward County officials.
Monday begins a two-day planning period for teachers and staff members ahead of students making their official return to the school on Wednesday for a modified schedule.

Conservatives embrace populism, rage at Trudeau, talk separation at annual gathering
Two or three decades ago, Preston Manning's Reform Party was seen as embodying a right-wing populist movement in Western Canada that advocated for shrinking government by cutting social welfare and culture programming.
Lately, however, right-wing populism has been associated with the nationalist, anti-immigrant and authoritarian tendencies of leaders like U.S. President Donald Trump, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
Conservative leaders Jason Kenney of the Alberta United Conservative Party and Andrew Scheer of the federal Conservative Party have also been accused lately of being too tolerant of white nationalism.
None of that, however, stopped the conservative leader of Canada's most populous province from grasping the mantle of populism during an appearance on stage Saturday at the Manning Networking Conference, an annual right-of-centre gathering in Ottawa.
"People called Preston a populist when he was in politics, and they're calling me a populist now," Ontario's Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford told the crowd of politicians, activists and fundraisers.

Music connects with the soul and the Khan Brothers just proved it right with their magical performance in Delhi's Kamani Auditorium. In a special event organized in Delhi as 'Strings and Rhythm', sons of the sarod maestro 'Amjad Ali Khan' took the music lovers to a soulful journey in a collaborated performance with the famous tabla players Pt. Kumar Boseand Pt. Anindo Chatterjee.
Carrying forward the legacy of sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and Bangash gharana, 'Amaan Ali Khan' and 'Ayaan Ali Khan' created an atmosphere where the crowd hummed along with them. These siblings mesmerized the audience by hitting the right chord and enchanted the lovers of sarod.
Well, the khan brothers were definitely in sync while performing and we wish that in real life too their relationship will get stronger and stronger as the time passes and they continue to give youngsters a touch of pure art forms with their majestic performances.

What does treatment involve?
Osteopathic treatment consists of rhythmic and oscillatory joint movements, joint and muscle stretching, soft tissue massage and gentle release techniques. Other gentle cranial osteopathic techniques can be used and are especially good for the treatment of very acute conditions, babies and children and the elderly. Sometimes, it may be necessary to perform a spinal or joint manipulation where an audible click may be heard. However, this is very safe, invariably pain free and lasts only a fraction of a second. Osteopathic treatment is a very relaxing and pleasant experience.
At Tomlinson Osteopaths we make it a priority to help every patient and alleviate pain, with utmost consideration to their comfort and needs.
Can I claim any of my treatment costs back?
Our osteopaths are registered with most medical insurance companies, including BUPA, AXA PPP, AVIVA, HSA and many more. If you are a victim of a work related or road traffic accident, or you have a healthcare plan either through work or as a private policy, then you can usually claim money back for osteopathic treatment from the appropriate insurer. This may require a referral from a GP and acceptance from the insurer, but this is worth investigating.
Is osteopathy safe?
Yes, osteopathy is extremely safe. Our osteopaths are well trained and will take a detailed case history and perform many conventional medical routine screening procedures prior to treatment. This is to assess your suitability for osteopathic treatment and formulate a diagnosis. If the condition is not treatable then the osteopath will write to your GP with findings and recommendations.
Do I need a referral from my G.P.?
No, although many patients are referred by their G.P, osteopathy has enjoyed a position of respect for a very long time and requires no referral. 90% of the patients at Tomlinson Osteopaths are referred to us by friends, relatives and colleagues because they have had great results themselves.

Premier League Match Preview: West Ham United vs. Norwich City
Match Date: 11 February 2014 (local)
Match Venue: Upton Park
West Ham United
They may have been hapless in the League Cup and the FA Cup, but West Ham United have relatively been successful in their recent runs in the English top-tier football. Of their last five league matches, only one concluded in a defeat, another one finished in a draw, while the remaining three were brilliant successes—which include their latest battle. All of these wins were clean sheets, which is even more impressive considering the side underwent harsh struggles in the earlier weeks.
The Hammers are now out of the drop zone; in fact, they are already two points or three places above the relegation trio. However, safety is yet a far-flung challenge as they are still tasked to cancel out their negative goal difference. Team boss Sam Allardyce should see his men dramatically improve in defending set pieces and protect against attacks down the wings and long shots.
Norwich City
Barely looming above the relegation zone, Norwich City have plenty of things to prove. They have been nearly winless for the past 11 matches, with just one victory giving them zero deficits in points. The rest of that streak (from all competitions) posted their draws and defeats almost even.
Inconsistency is a major dilemma that The Canaries need to immediately address. They may be good at creating chances, but they are heavily challenged by their ballooning problem in other areas of battling in the pitch. They have loose possession of the ball, frequently make fouls, fail at defending counter attacks, and worst of all, unable to finish scoring chances.
Sports betting tip: West Ham United have the every reason to emerge as winners in this battle. Norwich City cannot solely capitalize on a few key players. They lack team work, which West Ham are proudly blessed with.

Microsoft this week unveiled two leasing programs for its various Surface devices -- one for students and one for SMBs -- that both have plenty of fine print to consider.
The student plan is called Surface Plus, while the plan for SMBs, Surface Plus for Business, is a revamping of Microsoft's older Surface Membership lease plan. Both plans are only available right now through "U.S. Microsoft Stores and online at Microsoft.com."
The Surface Plus for Business plan is managed by LiftForward, "a leading software provider and licensed online lender to small and medium size businesses," according to Microsoft's FAQ. Businesses have to undergo the equivalent to a credit check with LiftForward to qualify for the plan.
Highlights of the Surface Plus for Business plan include the ability to mix Surface devices within the agreement, including the possibility of getting financing for a 55-inch Surface Hub, which is Microsoft's whiteboard and videoconferencing screen device.
The Surface Plus for Business plan has three payment terms, with the ability to upgrade devices after 12 months or 18 months, depending on the payment-term selected. Microsoft's announcement seemed to imply that the plan includes "Microsoft Complete for Business," a warranty program, but it may just be an option. Microsoft Complete for Business provides three or four years of protection against factory defects and battery failures, as well as protection against accidental power surges, spills and drops.
The Surface Plus plan for students gives them a little leeway on financing. They get a 0 percent annual percentage rate but it's just for 24 months. After that time, the lender will increase the rate to a whopping 19.99 percent, according to a footnote in Microsoft's announcement.
Students can upgrade the device after 18 months if they meet the conditions specified by the lender. Under the Surface Plus plan, the ability to get the Microsoft Complete warrantee protection is an additional cost option.
Of course, Microsoft Surface devices aren't low-priced machines. At the low end, the Surface Pro device starts at $799, but it costs extra to get the Type Cover and the Surface Pen device. At the high end, the Surface Studio starts at $2,999, while organizations have to call Microsoft to get a price on a Surface Hub device.

I woke up late for packing my bags to check out of my hotel (I had a 10AM flight back to Detroit). I then learned that my flight was late, so checked into my flight and headed back to the resturant for breakfast. *whew* how lucky was I? This is surely going to be a great day, I thought. LMAO - famous last words, eh?
I arrived back in Detroit without incodent - which is always good! My boyfriend works at the airport, and is able to go to the gates to either wait with me before a flight, or wait for me to land and welcome me back home. (I know - he is so sweet!). Anyhow - it was snowing in MI so he stayed home. I did not become aware of this until I had been waiting for him to appear for a few minutes. I was a little upset - not at him, but becuase I really missed him.
Paid for parking - $81.00. Rape me, OK DTW? Jeesh.
Went to 9-A Gold, row 1 in the parking deck where I parked. Hmmm... but where is my car? 5 minutes go by. 10. 15. I panick. I search the entire 9-A gold section, then proced to 8-A, only to find out that it is brown - definitely did not park here. I clearly parked in 9-1 GOLD, row 1.
At this point I am bawling like a little girl. I was exhausted, hungry, missing Mike, and now was sans car.
I called and he headed straight out to the airport to help me resolve this issue. I decided to walk a little further down to 9-B GOLD row 1. Not there. And plus, I clearly walked through Parking "A" into the terminal, so why would I park in B given I would have had to walk past 1 elevator to get to the one I took? Not likely.
Then I walked through 9-C GOLD row 1. Oh shit. There is my car. Called Mike to let him knwo to go back home as I found the car.. 2 sections away from where I thought that I parked. The issue here - I managed to walk past 2 seperate elevator systems on my way to the one I wen tthrough to get into the terminal... WHY????? How dazed was I monday morning to be so... off??? In addition - it took me so long to leave the deck that I had to pay parking again - this time only $5. I call it a stupid tax. My work will call it rediculous.
Oh well *shrugs*
So fast forward to being back home. Took 2 conference calls, checked emails, then we took a nap for a few hours. Grabbed a long over due dinner, came back home to watch TV.
While I was gone in Huntsville, AL this past week, apparently Mike discovered the delicious smells of incense. I, in my infinite wisdom, decide to combine all the incense we have into one of the holders - one with very very sharp corners. Do you see where this one is going?
Yep. I sliced open my finger. I rush to the kitchen sink, run cold water over it, go to the bathroom, put antibiotic cream on the wound, and put a band-aid on it. All better!
Fast forward another 2 hours - when I happen to touch my finger, only to realize that I PUT THE BAND-AID AND ANTIBIOTIC CREME ON THE WRONG FINGER.
WHO DOES THAT???? Me. That is who.
I need sleep. This day has just been crazy.
So let's recap:
- Woke up late
- Plane late
- No Mike at airport
- Lost car
- Found car
- Slept for hours
- Cut finger
- Put band-aid on wrong finger
- Still need sleep
