“Electronics Geared To Fears may Hit Home At Trade Show”
►Someone out there thinks you’re nervous, maybe even paranoid. They hope that concern about things that go bump in the night will have you lusting for military-grade night-vision camera to guard your home. They’re sure the fear that Fido, Grandpa or little Jimmy will slip out the back and wander off has you primed to buy a clip-on GPS tracking device. And they have no doubt that the October wildfires had you wishing for a fireproof external hard drive for your computer. Whether worry will lead consumers to purchase high-tech protection remains to be seen. But when the annual Consumer Electronics Show opens tomorrow in Las Vegas, there will be markedly more security products among the usual displays of high-definition TVs and wireless routers.
►I agree because with this kind of technology we have now almost everything its possible.
►I also agree because if you can buy spying items you could be spying some one.
►I the other hand I think only rich people could afford this items because I think they are rally expensive.
►I think the most interesting fact its that the USA are developing some good items to spy very well.
Today in the union tribune I read that bill carli 53, of Encinitas suspects his voodoo beads helped the 1994 chargers get to the super bowl. Come game time this afternoon, some chargers fan will fell just as prepared as the players storming onto QUALCOMM stadium field. A Chula lawyer will have some lit candles and put the match in a painted plaster bowl with those other victories this year. A bankers hill woman will have some used Windex to clean the screens of her TV sets. A spring valley man will have visited his uncles grave to talk about the football game. And one fan in the stands will have will have the voodoo beads he bought in new Orleans , just in case the chargers fall behind and the team a little extra help from the other side. And they wont be the only ones breaking out some special mojo, whether at home, in a bar or at the stadium, where a light rains unexpected on and off during the game.
Today I read a story about a guy that was charged with kidnapping a women wile hiking in a trail. Police have not found any body yet, they found some evidence linking him to the disappearance of the missing lady. They found a bloody towel that police think the blood is the ladies. They had a warrant for the guys arrest for leaving his property in a national park.
The article I read about this morning was about what the storms in the state of California have been causing. On interstate 5 in Oceanside a delivery truck crashed and rolled down an embankment. A national weather service forecaster says that there is to be expected for more rain to fall this morning. Since yesterday on and off rain is expected to continue until today. The weather guy wanted to give some tips for the weather. His advice was to wear warm clothes and to carry an umbrella or something repel to water. Where there was more inches of rain was in Palomar Mountain. In an area in Palomar Mountain there was reported that 10.23 inches of rain had fallen . The waves in the beach are expected to be 7 to 9 feet high.
♫My Reflection =}
My reflection on this article is that its scary to know that there will be more rain. I get scared with rain it just seems like the world is sad or something. I hope that the storm ends for good soon.
♫An Interesting Fact =}
An important and interesting fact that I read in this article was that more than 1,000 people lost power because of the storm in California.
Source;; cnn.com
Article;; "12 year old boy beat toddler to death with a bat"
Summary;; This morning's blog is based on the text I read inside cnn.com about a young boy who recently committed a murder. It took place in Florida where a 12 year old boy beat a toddler to death with a baseball bat because she was crying while he was trying to watch tv. He was arrested on Saturday and charged with 1st degree murder. He was sent to Juvenile Hall on Sunday and has remained in custody. Authorities say that the boy confessed that he was home alone, left babysitting a 10 year old girl and the 17 month old girl and became angry when the toddler began to cry. The relationship between the three of children is still not clear.
Reflection;; It's really sad to hear stories like these ones. After reading this article, I can only blame the family. I know that it may sound harsh but there are wrestlers on tv and videogames out there that children should not be watching. Again, it may sound harsh but I think the kid knew exactly what he was doing, just because he was young does not make a difference. I hope he gets a long time in Juvenile & prison for the pain he has caused the girl's family.
Union Tribune: Georgia’s president is ahead in poll, may face runoff ballot.
Today I have read a short article President Mikhail Saakashvili headed for victory in yesterdays election. The exit poll showed that Saakashvili winning 53.8% of the vote. But it had an error of minus of plus 3 percentage points. The opposition called for a protest today claiming the vote was rigged and they need to count this again. They think that the poll was falsified. I could really care less if he wins, I don’t live there so it really doesn’t bother me. I think if he won twice in the re-election than people must really like him.
I was reading this article that was very interesting. The article was about a study that has been already conducted in Japan, but is barely being held here in California. Japanese scientists were holding a research concerning earthquakes and their effects. They concluded that through certain technological help they can determine how far away the epicenter is and how fast the waves are travelling which would give the citizens an alert signal at least 10 seconds before the waves hit their location. They learned that 10 seconds could be really significant in saving people’s lives and their property. The machine used for the experiment cannot predict earthquakes, but it can determine the velocity the shockwaves will hit after there is an earthquake. Overall the techniques of the experiment are already being used in other countries like Japan, Mexico, Romania, Turkey and Taiwan. The experiment here in the US will not conclude until 2009 and the tests are being held here in California. Once the tests are completed there will be enough data to conclude if the new technology is safe and efficient.
The article I read today contained text about students whom would rather focus on parties than maintaining grades. This will affect many of the students scores. Most kids strategy is to party and get drunk and then try to go to school. The record of student ticket count exceeded 5,00 three times. SDSU student are beginning to get in the home game spirit, and play the mascot role. The categories for students weekend falls in the party's and having fun. An estimate of numbers of a BYU does in a game is 16,000. If kids continue to show up to their games there school will raise lots of money. I think that it is funny that college kids show lots of school spirit. I think it is funny because these kids are like adults but they still like to party and paint themselves on the face. Even though the ticket sells are going up, i think it will continue to increase every year. It is interesting that more than 29,000 undergraduates at San Diego state, more than 85% still have one thing or choice on their minds for a Saturday night.
=Rain in SD=
This weekend was one of the deadliest. This weather caused about one thousand lost of power in homes. It also caused many highway crashes in interstate freeways. This caused the city a good penny. They the weather men are predicting it to rain the next few days. The city is preparing for other accidents that may occur. This is one of many occasions when it doesn't rain in San Diego for a while and all of a sudden it pours. Some experts say that this year it may rain more than usual. This will cause many accidents but also good in our appearance towards nature wise.
=This will mean that we will miss a couple of home games.
=Water in San Diego…. What?
=Fresher days will come from all of this weather.
=About 11 in of rain will fall in the lower county.
