| | | Re: Enjoy!! said by backfeed:The weekend is here..... and also Hi Jazz, long time no hear!!
Hi there backfeed! I was just in the process of posting a note to you.
We've been doing a bit of traveling. We were down south for a couple of weeks. We did a loop and went to Nashville TN, Greenville SC, Columbia SC, then Richmond VA.
We came back, then proceeded to take another week and go up to Montreal, something we do every March. We just got back a couple of days ago.
The weather here has been glorious, we've got the screen house up already. Next week isn't supposed to be nice, but I'm sure the warm weather will be here again soon.
I hope things are blooming where you are like that are here, and that you and the Mrs. are enjoying this early taste of Spring!

kudos:5 | Smile, you're on candid camera
»news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-···987.html
Big Brother is watching — and getting better at its job. At this year's Security Show expo in Japan, Hitachi Kokusai Electric took the wraps off a new surveillance camera system that can pick out your face— and compare it to 36 million records — in just one second. What's more, it can do this from live video, whereas older systems needed to analyze pre-recorded footage thus introducing a delay in the process.
Beyond just looking you up based on your face, the system scours archived footage and pulls up any clips it believes contain you, so that operators can quickly get a look at your recent activity.
Hitachi Kokusai Electric plans to make the system available for sale by next spring. You can see a demonstration of its capabilities in the video above, then start planning ways to foil it should you want to escape its all-seeing gaze.

| said by Linklist:Rioters and protesters won't be able to avoid being identified just because they are in a large crowd and weren't arrested at the time of the event. They're installing citizen tracking systems in Tampa, in time for the Republicans arrival.
I suppose the folks on the other side of the cameras aren't likely to reveal just who they're recording.
A glimpse of their voting records might yield a clue however.

Protest, yes. But not blocking entrances to buildings. And blocking streets stopping traffic, etc. As far as I'm concerned protesting's legality ends when it prevent me legally from going where I want, and when I want.

| Grandma Turned 80 Today (March 23rd) We went up to Maine this weekend as my Grandma turned 80 today. We unfortunately could not have cake (she's a diabetic) but we went to Olive Garden and she had her favorite dish. I had chicken Alfredo, my mother had Lasagna, and Grandma and her husband had minestrone soup. We also had salad (which is so good) and their world famous breadsticks. Her husband accidentally let the cat out and he came back when we got home.
2012 also marks ten years since I graduated high school (Cedar Rapids IA Kennedy High School Class of 2002). Also in August will mark ten years from the date I moved from Iowa to Massachusetts.
On a final note, I am getting Xfinity home security installed in my side of the duplex next month. I'll post more about it in the open thread after its installed.

kudos:5 | Dick Chaney gets a heart ---- ( transplant )
Former Vice President Dick Cheney received a heart transplant on Saturday, his office announced.
A statement from the former vice president's office said the 71-year-old is now recovering in the intensive care unit of Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va., outside Washington.
The statement said Cheney had been on the transplant list for 20 months and did not know the identity of the donor.
Cheney, who served as President George W. Bush's vice president from 2001 to 2009, has a long history of heart problems. He suffered his first heart attack at age 37 and his fifth in 2010. In 1988, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery and has had several other heart surgeries since then.
In 2010, he had a battery-powered heart pump known as a Left Ventricular Assist Device implanted to keep his heart working - a device that is often used for short periods by patients awaiting a transplant.
