Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."

So many missed penalties could have taken this out of England's reach ages ago. Can't see them handing this back to Argentina now.

Every 5 years we have an election and have to decide who are the least obnoxious out of all the men. Then one gets in and they age really quickly. Which is always fun to watch.
Wilkinson to kick this one out of reach for Argentina now. Surely.
Something very ballsy about stepping up again when you're kicking 28.5%.
I don't think I've ever heard of so many missed kicks in an international match.

About the best that could be said tho.
I don't think either team really played open rugby but I thought the Pumas were more determined to play it up front.
Funny thing is when they did run it with 2 minutes to go they looked elusive.
Argentina #14, and the one with half a dozen names (Lobbe?) were superb I thought. Armitage was good for your English.

A brush fire burned four structures, including a home in the town of Oracle, and led to the evacuation of dozens of residents.Those residents who are displaced will remain out of their homes for the time being. Crews are checking for hotspots. During a briefing this morning, fire crews said the cause was accidental, but is still under investigation.
Golder Ranch battalion chief Will Seely said the fire was just under four acres, and was fueled by the wind.
The call came in just after 4 PM from an area near John Adams Road and Mount Lemmon Highway in Oracle.
At least seven fire agencies responded, and about forty firefighters worked in triple digit temperatures to battle the flames.
At one point things got very tense.
"There were reports of firefighters trapped, vehicles blocking them as the fire kicked up," said Seely.
Some of the firefighters were volunteer firefighters and were not in wildland gear, so things got really hot in the structure gear they had on," at least one firefighter had to be evaluated for heat exhaustion.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said an arson team was headed to the area to help determine the cause of the fire.
The area affected by the fire is near Paseo Encino and Cody Loop Road, south of East American Avenue.
No injuries have been reported.

It's hard to have a definitive horror hit in America. It's even harder to have a definitive horror franchise in America. And it's most difficult of all to create a franchise in a country other than America, one which has a distinct culture and flavor that doesn't translate easily, and have it become such a runaway success that the film is remade as an entirely new and successful remake series for American audiences. Takashi Shimizu is one of the few filmmakers who has been able to do it.
Until Rob Zombie changes his mind, this is the official one-sheet for "Halloween 2". I actually like it, although they clearly haven't fired the lettering guy from the last poster that ended up being a disaster. Could that text at the top possibly be real?

Arora got some new stock options and grants in April, but he gave up that stock in exchange for $4.7 million (counted as a "Cancelled Awards" payment), plus a $3.3 million discretionary cash bonus.
This doesn't mean that Arora is on his way out: if he quits or is fired before the date the stock would have vested — April 25, 2015 — he has to return the cash.
Google had no comment on the reason for the shift. However, in April Google introduced a new class of non-voting stock, and said that most future grants would be given in those non-voting shares.

Pet Stories: In Your Own Words
Pets as teachers? Why not
I have had many kinds of pets in my life, but there was one cat who was so special. I am sure our link was very "cosmic". She looked somewhat like a chocolate point Siamese-type cat, but was born into a litter of otherwise all black kittens. Her mother was an unusually small black cat brought to me as a gift from Hawaii.
Meenu was born a full day after the rest of the litter and was totally white then... Quite a surprise she was. She and I bonded as soon as she was old enough to leave her mother even for a few minutes and she remained with me through two long term human relationships. In all we spent more than fifteen years together. Her unusual appearance alone would have made her stand out, but her intelligence and ability to communicate was almost unbelievable. Everyone seemed to notice it. She would often sit at a person's feet and stare up at them focusing intently until she was sure they were paying attention and then would leap straight up into their arms!
Meenu would follow behind us on long walks through the woods and traveled easily around the country in my Volkswagen bus in the 70's. She was quite the gypsy who made herself at home anywhere and was instantly loved wherever we went. Meenu had an exciting life.
Her passing from this world was an intense experience which filled me and others around with awe. Meenu was always a very healthy cat, but one day out of the blue I decided she needed her booster immunizations right then. I called the vet who just happened to have had a cancellation so I booked in for the next hour. Sitting next to us in the clinic was a very sick cat who had "feline leukemia" and this is what Meenu eventually came down with as well. I can only believe that it was on a soul level that those two cats arranged that meeting so that the next events could take place.
Meenu had been very ill for several weeks and people who saw her only occasionally were advising me to have her put to sleep, but every time I held her she quite clearly told me otherwise. No matter how ill and how weak, she would get up enough energy to purr like crazy for me and just relax in my arms. It was obvious to me that she was still very happy and very much wanting to "be there".
Each morning I awoke feeling that surely her body could not have made it through one more night and was surprised over and over at her choice to remain in that frail and weakened body. On the last morning I felt there was no way for her to still be living, but again she was. I sat on the floor next to her bed and rested her head in my hand. She looked up at me, purred loudly one last time, sighed, and then left her body with her grace and dignity still intact. I know she was just waiting to say good bye. She made it look so effortless and so peaceful.
In wondering why she would have chosen to have this experience, I have come up with the answer that among other things, I felt that my partner at that time had never really appreciated cats and witnessing the strength, determination and grace of this one gave him great respect and admiration for cat beings. He ended up loving her as much as I did and it was his idea that we bury her as we did. A man known for his gruff nature was suddenly revealed to be very thoughtful and caring.
I put my gold seven-pointed star around her neck and then wrapped her in a beautiful purple silk sari expecting to bury her in our yard. My partner had another idea... We took her to the top of Mt. Tamalpais in a newly restored MGTF. It was her last adventure. We were off to find her final resting place. With her in my arms, tears streaming down my cheeks and hair blowing in the wind we rode up and around that spectacular mountain until we came to a place with a beautiful ocean view. My partner looked quite pleased with himself when he finished burying her. It was the perfect spot and he had so lovingly dug the hole and placed her in it. At that moment I had more respect and love for him than I could have imagined and it seemed only suitable that such a special friend as Meenu should rest in the arms of Mt. Tam---which is called "The Sleeping Lady".

MIDDLEBURGH, N.Y. - State Police say a mudslide occurred early Sunday on Huntersland Road in Middleburgh, closing the road and giving the flood-stricken town another setback.
The mudslide occurred at approximately 12 a.m. Sunday, pouring debris down into the street below. Crews worked to fix the issue as quickly as possible. Police said the nearest detour is a 30 mile distance from the access road, making it difficult for emergency vehicles to respond.
Crews returned to the scene on Monday to reassess the area and safety factor.
"When we returned this morning there was about another couple dozen trees that slide down the slope and the mud was deeper across the road. About 18 inches deep," said the Schoharie County Commissioner of Public Works Dan Crandell. "The trees leaning on trees that have slid down the slope here. You can't tell when the earth's going to give way or more trees are going to slide."
Workers removed mud and debris from the road, but as they did, more mud came sliding down. Repairs could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions according to officials.
"We'll the main concern right now is trying to get this stable. As you can see there is still water pouring out of the side here. It really needs some time to dry out," said James Buzon, Middleburgh Town Supervisor.
"We may have to add some additional storm drainage to control the water but at this point other than clean up in as safe manner as possible, that's really all we can do right now," said Crandell.
Huntersland Road was expected to be reopened Tuesday or Wednesday, but with the rain delaying work it could be even longer before the main road is safe for traffic.

Is Apple already testing the iPhone 6?
Short answer: Probably. But something's fishy...
We're not even two full days into the new year, and already, we've got our first batch of iRumors.
The Next Web is reporting that app developers combing through Apple's (AAPL) usage logs -- an online hub where the tech company and app developers essentially share what they're working on -- have spotted cookie crumbs from what could be the next iPhone running a new version of iOS.
Specifically, developers spotted an identifier marked "iPhone 6,1" connected to an IP address within Apple's Cupertino, Calif. campus. The mysterious device is running what's thought to be iOS 7.
We know that internally, Apple identifies the iPhone 5 as "iPhone 5,1" or "iPhone 5,2" based on the model's connection specifications (LTE, 4G, and such). If Apple really is testing a new version of the iPhone, there's a pretty high likelihood that this naming convention holds.
Should we be surprised if Apple is already testing a new handset when the divisive iPhone 5 is barely three months old? Not really. As John Koetsier at VentureBeat points out, this is "pretty much expected, normal, and standard operating procedure" for tech companies everywhere -- including rivals like Samsung (SSNLF). "In fact, the only shock would be if the company was not working on new models and software."
What is weird, though, is that Apple is essentially parading the thing out in the open for the whole world to see. Why not disguise a top-secret iPhone prototype in an older model's identifier? (iPhone 3,1, for example.) Tagging a new iPhone with a unique IP address from inside the Cupertino mothership is the developer's equivalent of setting off fireworks. Sean Hollister at The Verge suggests that a company as meticulous as Apple is either toying with us or is making a concerted effort to forego its pledge to "double down on secrecy."
In any case, iPhone Rumor Season 2013: Officially commenced.

I feel the same about my BS levels.
I'm glad that your appointment is this Thursday! ;)
And glad that mocha loved the recital!
I noticed that sometimes for me triggers are very simple and otherwise regular things. Also since I have heartburn and reflux during pregnancy they cause more attacks. So may be your gastro is acting up? Hope you have a better day tomorrow
Dorcas, it's so frustrating having something that we're supposed to be able to "control", but not being able to get it under control, isn't ! I hate that I feel, in part, like it's my fault somehow !!
Varya, my dd mentioned that she did use hairspray and maybe that's what set the coughing off (she used my bathroom to do her hair and we rode in the car together) . We've used the same hairspray for years, but have been out for months (lol, we're low maintenance in the hair department over here ). I just bought more and it was the first time it was used so maybe that's was started it and obviously by the time I got to the church my airways were already irritated so the mildewy/dusty environment just made it worse. I told dh it felt like I had inhaled sand .
I did eat wheat (gluten irritates my gastro) on Sunday so that's a possibility I hadn't thought of (why do pizza rolls have to be so good )! I've been on nexium now since the weekend and it usually takes a week for me to notice improvement and up to 3wks to feel much better (I assume it's because my stomach is healing).
It bugs me I have to micro-analyze my life like this . Hoping and praying the pulm will be able to shed some light it .
On a fun note, I'm going shopping today to get an outfit for dd's open house this weekend !! It's supposed to be 82 and partly cloudy up north on Saturday and her party is at a park on the beach so it should be perfect !! It's also another dd's 11th bday so she's having some friends there too for a "beach bday party"...LOL, it is MI so the water is still going to be frigid, but kids don't seem to mind . I'm getting bathing suits and flotation devices for my kiddos and some extra "floaties" on hand for kids who may not bring them. I'm excited and a little nervous...just hoping there's enough food .
We're Moms ... if we weren't micro-analyzing our lives, we'd probably be silently doing so with our kid's lives. ;)
I just read an article about MSG that's so depressing ... speaking of wheat and pizza rolls. LOL.
The open house / birthday party sounds like it is going to be fantastic!!
I worked with a lady once who could not have ANY chemical exposure. No one in the office could wear cologne or perfume because of her asthma. I loved it, I dislike smelling everyone's chemicals, too. Hairspray has A LOT of chemicals and fragrance in it, so I wouldn't be surprised to learn that was the trigger. It is upsetting when you have to learn how to navigate your world differently.
LOL, isn't that the truth...I guess micro-analyzing just comes with the territory !!
Ugh, did not even think of the MSG !
Well, I came home from our shopping trip today empty-handed for myself, but found everything else I was looking for, yaay ...not an easy task when looking for different styles in different sizes for each kiddo . My oldest DD found a cute pencil skirt and blazer, on sale, for herself...there will be events she has to dress up for at college next year so she needed something business-casual .
I'm going shopping tomorrow too for food/decorations for the open house so I'm going to stop into a few other stores and see what I can find .
I absolutely can't stand dh's perfume and aftershave during pregnancy even though normally I love them. They make me gag, sneeze and cough. And if he used and hugged girls I feel like giving them a shower lol
Yay to the beach parties! Hope you get to enjoy them thoroughly. wish I was able to waddle to the beach but alas it is a whole science and labour to waddle for room to room atm lol
Oh and Dorcas is right on to mention MSG: it can set off so many bad things in out bodies. I would know -I live in a country where they put MSG in everything and eating at a Chinese restaurant for me ends up in hangover kind of feeling.
Varya, lol, not too much longer for you though and you'll be able to enjoy the rest of your summer with baby on the outside, yaay !! Ugh, I can't imagine trying to avoid MSG where you live...that has to be crazy hard ! My dad's side of the family has known MSG allergy (my aunt has an anaphylactic reaction)...I don't have an overt reaction, but it doesn't do me any favors either.
I had a dream last night that I was bleeding ...so unnerving, but it was really good to wake up and everything is fine . I think it was a result of dtd the other night and my irrational fear of upsetting my pg. After this weekend I'll be beyond all of my losses (ds had no hb at 17wks...induced and delivered at 19wks)...it will feel really good to be able to relax a bit more .
So far so good without the steroid . Ha, and hoping this fluid retention takes a hike asap ! I'm looking forward to my pulm appt tomorrow afternoon and hoping to get a bit more clarification on some things .
Mocha was kicking me last night so I put my hand on my belly and felt a little kick, eep, so precious !!
Heading out shopping again today to get the rest of the stuff for the open house this weekend and hoping to have success in finding an outfit I like, lol, if not, it's no big deal...just hoped for something cute, comfy, and new for the party since my entire family will be there .
You are nearly half way through! !! And you know that you do have to show off your outfit, right? Lol
Glad to hear Mocha is kicking up the storm!
...found an outfit for Saturday, lol, and a bonus outfit too because it was cute, comfy, and coordinated with the accessories I got to go with the other dress, wooot !!
Although, as I was shopping tonight the prednisone withdrawal hit me...feels like I'm coming down with the flu, but it's just my immune system kicking my tail for letting it "oversleep" . I even took my temp to make sure I wasn't getting sick, but it was low as always (oral 96.4). I took tylenol for the headache which is helping. Hopefully I'll wake up feeling better tomorrow .
Hope you're feeling better today! A new outfit always makes me happy. I've been wearing the same 5 things for, oh, 6 months or so LOL!!
Natalie [31] DH [40] 9/01, 1/06 NaturallyNatalie's Hair Accessories!
Thanks Natalie...feeling much better this morning ! I still have a bit of a headache and body aches, but not like last night .
Haha, I was having buyer's guilt until I checked my account this morning, phew, it's all good ! It was psychological, lol, I knew how much I could spend, I knew I stayed within that window, but then I was laying in bed and panicked a little thinking I miscalculated .
I'm leaving for my pulm appt around 1pm. LOL, I'm having my kids clean the car before I go because I'm using the hospital's valet service . I don't do parking garages unless dh or dd are with me to help me orient...I have a horrible sense of direction and although they have attendants to help you find your vehicle I really just don't want to be escorted around the parking garage for half an hour trying to find it .
Fx all goes well at pulmo!
Pulmo appt went well .
My lung function is great, which I expected since I just came off 5 days of 40mg prednisone. He increased my flonase (nasal steroid) to twice per day and switched my allergy med from Claritin to Zyrtec (said it was stronger ). He is doing blood work to see how reactive my immune system is to current allergens. Because I'm pg my care plan is still basically "use rescue inhaler and go to ER" if my peak flow drops below 80%....especially since I'm a "low perceiver" (lol, which just means I'm not very good at recognizing symptoms ). I'm still not 100% clear when to use my albuterol...he said when in doubt to use it and eventually I'll get a better feel for when I'm symptomatic. Until then I'm supposed to rely heavily on my peak flow meter. He didn't want to add an oral med because of pg, but did mention that and allergy shots as a possibility after pg if my symptoms haven't improved. LOL, I asked him about "pre-treating" with albuterol when I know I'm going to be exposed to cats specifically and he said: "avoid cats and tell your family your dr said" ! So he didn't feel pre-treating would help but left it up to me. I go back in 6wks and every 6-8wks throughout pg.
I'm happy with how it went and am glad to have confirmation that I'm doing what I can for now.
I am glad that you got some answers with your pulmologist! I have an appointment with my primary care doc on monday because I have a cough that doesn't seem to want to go away, but I am not short of breath, don't feel sick, and DH says that I don't cough when I sleep....the cough is just annoying.
I am very happy that he wants you to visit him every 6ish weeks....I would have been a little concerned if he didn't keep up with ya.
Glad you have good results and more recommendations! I had to take chlorpheniramin (sp? ) entire time with dd2 as neither claritine nor zyrtec were working. And 7 months ppt antihistamines stopped working at all so I ended up in er - I mentioned already - and then on some meds which were affecting dd2 via bm. I am glad I am off all meds for a year now after taking them for over 20 years!
I hope the rest of pregnancy goes uneventful health wise.
Lizzy...I hope you get good news at your appt Monday ! A nagging cough is so aggravating . I'm really glad too to be having follow up with him throughout my pg...always nice to have an appt "on the books" even if everything is going fine, just in case something does come up.
My dad used to take Chlor-trimeton for his allergies...I remember it always being in the house . I know it causes drowsiness like benadryl and am considering taking benadryl at night again if the 2nd dose of flonase doesn't end up resolving my nasal symptoms after a week or two (I'll ask my dr first though). Both the hospital pulm I saw and the pulm yesterday emphasized the importance of controlling nasal allergy symptoms to keep asthma under control because it drains into the chest/lungs, at night especially, and causes irritation, which does make sense. My OB did say I can take sudafed after 13wks and as heavenly as a decongestant sounds right now, lol, I want to hold off. I feel like I have a hard-ish time as it is staying hydrated (despite drinking 60-80oz of water almost every day).
Wow, 17wks tomorrow, I seriously cannot believe it !!! Mocha was quiet all day yesterday, but gave me a comforting before-bed performance, lol, lots of little kicks and wiggles .
We are heading up north today for my bff's oldest's graduation open house and tomorrow is dd's (we're spending the night up there tonight and heading home tomorrow night). I'm all set and looking forward to it, but I can't say I'm not also looking forward to Sunday when it will all be behind me .
17 weeks almost!!!!
Chlorpheniramin is actually different. It doesn't make you drowsy and it is category B for pg. And can be taken as often as every 2 hours.I took it 3 times a day and every 2-4 hours for attacks.
Enjoy your getaway!
Kelly that is a huge milestone. Big congrats....
Woohoo! So happy for you! Outfit picture? Lol
Can you believe I did not get a single picture of the entire day ?!?!? I was going to give the camera to ds and have him take pics, but I completely forgot . I'll have to have family/friends email me whatever photos they took . I'll still get a pic of my new outfit (with me in it, lol ) since I'll be wearing it next weekend too for her open house here ! Although, I got comments from friends/family that they were (jokingly) disappointed I wasn't really showing, lol, I tried to get an outfit that would show some bumpage, but there's just not much bump yet .
Awww what a bummer about pictures! Hope someone can email you plenty of them!
Thanks Brittany !! Doing okay on the asthma/allergies front. After being outside all day Saturday and for a while yesterday, my peak flow is a bit low and I've been coughing a lot since last night, but my breathing is good so I know it's just allergies/irritation. The increase in meds feels like it's doing it's job and keeping the asthma away .
The weekend finally caught up with me late yesterday afternoon, lol, I was *exhausted*!! I slept great though and feeling ready for this week .
I had a healthy-eating hiatus this weekend , but am getting back on track today. We did a nacho bar for dd's open house and, oh wow, I was absolutely craving the nacho cheese and jalapenos so I ate insane amounts of it with tortilla chips...it was sooo yummy, lol, but I can't say I'm unhappy it's gone since my self-control tends to fall to the way-side when it comes to cravings !
I'm ordering school books today for the 2014-15 school year . I'm planning to start school with my youngest kiddos (3rd, 1st, and K4) after the 4th of July (they finished school in April) so we can take Nov and Dec off to get ready for baby and get through the first 1-2months . My 6th and 8th grader will start math at that point and ease into the rest of their subjects with the expectation of having everything begun by Sept 1st. My 10th and 11th graders follow their own schedules. It feels good to have a plan !!
I ordered ultrasound gel on Amazon, lol, been using preseed with my doppler . It should be here by Friday .

What he said.
Hell, if nothing else, the feature helps parents track their kids. That I could see as a benefit, especially with teenagers. Yes, we could sit here and argue all day about the pros/cons of the service. If you don't want it, don't get it.
But the bottom line, our privacy was taken away from us since the day we signed up for a cell phone.
i agree
You guys shouldn't be worrying. It will most likely be only to "spy"/track only the phone numbers on YOUR acct. Spying on someone elses acct. is ILLEGAL.
If you guys (grown married men and women) are worrying then that shows in itself. I see men using it more than women though.
SPRINT came out with the feature YEARS ago. I forget what they called it but it's the SAME THING only difference was that if the person strayed from a course it would text the parent saying they didn't arrive at the destination. You could log in and view their location on a map. I believe it worked off cellular towers. I can't put a finger on it but it's been like 5 years since I worked at Radioshack.
People are gettin mad because if U can do it,
THEY can do it
Meaning the government
Just cause u CAN do something, doesnt mean u should
did you really think gps was a one way street? Tracking is nothing new. all att did was bring it to the public for a price. Remember so many years ago the enhanced 911 location was added to all cell phones. all this is doing is letting the account holder see where their property is. This could be a very useful tool is location a child who has been abducted without all the red tape the police dept. would have to go through. The service has many wonderful uses, and as we have all seen throughout the course of our entire history is that people will find a way to do what they want with things (jailbreaking). If you think that this is in some way enabling you to be spied on then I ask what do you have to hide. hell let someone track me all day. They would be bored off their a** by my life. I conduct myself as a self respecting American and if I'm doing something that would hurt this country or anyone in it I feel I deserve what I get. I have nothing to hide, so please, by all means spend your money and spy on me. You'll get to be as bored as I am with my life.
U just feel sorry for anyone who feels the need to spy on someone else
Ya' caught me....i do reside in the D.R(i bet some of you havent even heard of the place ) and here we dont heven have gps services ...not even google maps(i know, so sad, but true )....but this dosent alter the fact that i find it very, very disturbing...and i know than one day...maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day these type of "advances" will bite us all in the rear end
I know where Domenican Republic is. I went there for vacation and I had to leve the seccond day because I caught a virus. I kept on puking for the next six months. :-(
Anyways, I just don't like ppl spying on me. I don't want my GF to know where I'm at the whole time. Seccond, if you need to hide just turn off gps and turn off 3g. It will only show the area by cellphone tower. As of GPS if you call 911 they will know exactly where you at. Which is pretty cool. Also, if someone kills another and he has the phone on him police will find out who it is right away because they keep track of the cell phones positioning nowdays. Kinda neet. Services like this have been requested for many years. Privacy really is not touched when you r not guilty. LOL if your girl trust u than she will not pay $10 for this service.
By the way mine doesn't when this service comes up in Canada my gf will be first on the line. LMAO
But I pay the bill!!! Make sure u pay the bill!!! LOL
I really doubt that this uses the phone's GPS. It will only use the cellphone tower localisation system (which is already pretty accurate)
I'm also not agaisnt governement knowing where I am, 911 knowing where I am too ... But just against individuals spying on each other with or without them knowing (ok you have to own the line,that goes without saying but also don't prevent abuse ...
I've seen some guys asking for a dual sim so they could monitor their wife's sms. This is even worse. Ok, people using that should be blamed, not the provider, but if we start doing everything just because "people using it are to blame", things are going to get worse ... If you want to see where somebody is, just use volountary services like google latitude (or an equivalent iphone app)
If you are a minor (under 18) your parents have EVERY RIGHT to know where you are at all times. They are liable for you. Basically, if they want such a feature you have NO RIGHT to even try and stop them. Adults, this is another story. If you are REALLY worried, demand to have access to everything involving the contract. If the primary owner doesn;t allow this access and you use a line as part of that contract, there is reason to be suspicious.
Also to everyone that is upset, if you are not doing anything wrong that you feel the need to hide, then why make such a stink about such a service? It's clearly there as a safety feature. Sure it can be abused, but so can guns. Last I checked knowing where someone is on a map didn't have the direct capacity to kill them.
If my parents knew where I was when I was younger I think they would have died of fright! But I turned out OK.
I trust my kids as I was trusted, if they make mistakes they will learn from them as I learned from my mistakes.
I do not believe I have a right to spy on my kids.
But then things may be different hear than where you are.
PS - that is not to say I don't have a DUTY to look after my kids.
I see nothing wrong with the service, especially if your intentions are to keep track of your children. It's just another service offered through ATT and you control the option of wether you want it or not.
If you guys are happy with it, who am I to criticize?
Have fun
Back on topic, I believe it would be ignorant for anyone to claim that such a service would have no utility in any situation. Likewise it would be ignorant for me to say that this isn't an invasion of privacy (allbeit small in my opinion).
Like I said, just another reason that enforces my view that in America you have no freedoms. I do not wish to have my fingerprints held on file (in the UK only criminals do) so would not get a Visa.
The way you shackle people before they are found guilty of anything (eg the NatWest 3), Guantanamo bay, etc all go to show that you have different morals to us. The way you think torture is OK etc.
I'm not saying I'm right and you're wrong, just I have no wish to experience your 'culture' first hand.
I'm sure there are many things you don't like about England, whether you chose to visit is up to you, just as it's up to me to chose not to visit the USA.
EDIT: On the US visa site, it clearly states that citizens of the UK can travel to the US for up to a 90 day stay without a required Visa. Not that it makes a difference, but I was curious and found the info, so I decided to share.
I also do not agree with torturing people, nor do I think the government does. Just because things have happened in the past doesn't mean it is fair to say "we" believe in them or that they are right.
To be quit honest I have no problem with England whatsoever. I would love to come visit someday, along with plenty of other countries.
In any case this back and forth is pointless. Agree to disagree I guess. I am not here to try and talk anyone into anything, was just voicing my opinions.
I think you'll find we probably disagree on a lot less than you think!

text: SPOKANE, Wash. - Let's get dirty on Throwback Thursday! We have a couple of clips from 1994 when Mt. Spokane hosted the NORBA National Cross Country Mountain Bike Race. At the time the event was a big deal for the mountain bike community, as ESPN was on hand to cover the race which was part of a national series. The winners were John Tomac and Juliana Furtado.

Since "Titanfall" was announced in June 2013, anticipation has reached a fever pitch. Now that copies are finally in the hands of gamers, "Titanfall" seems to be delivering on the hype.
From the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, to a GameStop in Midtown, Manhattan, players across the country don't have to wait any longer for "Titanfall."
"Titanfall" invites players to go head to head in a futuristic war-torn setting, as special ops soldiers or pilots of robotic wrecking machines. This giant of a game breathes new life into a stale first person shooter genre and will set the bar for future games like it.
With no single-player option, "Titanfall" takes the multiplayer mayhem from "Call of Duty" and "Battlefield" games to new heights. The entire game is an online competition against other players.
It's no wonder gamers all over are overwhelming the "Titanfall" servers. Since the title was announced last June, it has won over 70 awards, ratcheting anticipation for this game up to a fever pitch. Microsoft is counting on the buzz from this blockbuster to sell more of their newest all-in-one gaming and entertainment system, the Xbox One.
Early feedback and reviews indicate Microsoft may get their wish, and that "Titanfall" is here to stay. It is available now for $60 for Xbox One and PC. It'll be available for Xbox 360 on March 25.

Ask Celebrates Pi Day With Pie!By // March 14th, 2012
What better way to celebrate Pi Day than eating some good ol' fashion pie! At exactly 3:14pm today, Ask.com employees were treated to delicious pies in honor of the mathematical constant that is the ratio of any Euclidean circle's circumference to its diameter – approximately equal to 3.14. Hence, why Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th. Do you know how many digits of Pi are actually known?

Ready, Set, Roll: Pollroll Now LiveBy // March 8th, 2012
As folks are packing their umbrellas for what looks to be a rainy weekend in Austin, we wanted to tell you about a visual polling app live in the Apple iTunes store today that should prove useful – if not super entertaining —at SXSW. No, it's not expressly for SX, and will be integrated into the overall Ask Q&A experience after the conference, but we thought the cacophony of events, panels, brands and crowds at SX would provide a great opportunity to test it out.
So, what is "it?" Drumroll…
Pollroll is a new app brought to you by Ask that will deliver people quick answers to any question, while they're on the go. It's a lightweight app designed to facilitate the creation, distribution and sharing of poll questions and results. Field a poll, take a poll, or share a poll. And because Pollroll lets users include comments along with their vote, it combines the instant gratification of a poll with the answer depth and social context of Q&A.

Do You Watch Your Phone More Than Your TV?By // February 29th, 2012
TechCrunch posted an interesting article yesterday explaining a survey conducted by InMobi of 20,000 consumers. The findings show that people spent more time on the mobile web then watching TV. Essentially, people are "watching" their phones more than they are watching their television. People use their mobile devices all throughout the day, including 67% of the time lying in bed and 47% of the time waiting for something. Do these findings relate to how you use your mobile device?

Even if you're not a track enthusiast, you know Tommie Smith. The famed track legend-coach-activist stopped by the PUMA YARD on Wednesday. Nearly 4 decades have passed since the 1968 Mexico City track and field events where he broke open the 200m and sparked a fresh, global conversation on human rights.
Back in 1968, the PUMA Suede made its debut. Smith cites its comfort, stability, and personality as reasons for his instantaneous infatuation with it. He carried said shoes with him to the podium, barefoot in his black socks, stepped up, set the shoes down, put his fist in the air, bowed his head—and yes, the rest is history. He'll tell you nerves weren't involved. That he wasn't distracted and didn't waver but there was that slight wind that moved over his raised fist and caused him to glance sidelong to his right.
What happened prior to that victory stand moment was no less significant to the track world. Tommie Smith captured gold and was the first ever to crack 20 seconds in the 200m dash. He thinks a certain individual – often deemed the "World's Fastest Man" – has a chance at an under-19-seconds-victory. And if he's not the one to make it happen?
"We'll have to wait a long to see it," said Smith.
