A note here. I was just thinking about the way they can do random FACE RECOGNITION via computers these days. Now, wouldn't it be just wonderful if they could adapt this to HOSTA LEAF RECOGNITION? Don't laugh too quickly, it could happen if someone decided to work on it. It is after all a matter of PATTERN RECOGNITION? And another little tidbit of information related to nothing in particular, except it stuck in my mind the first time I heard about it 40 years ago.....Did you know that during WWII the USA hired or assigned mostly WOMEN to analyzing camouflaged fortifications and such as that, because IN GENERAL women were better (significantly so, as I was told) at PATTERN RECOGNITION than men? It could be put to a test related to hosta. For instance, do you think that men or women would win a contest of recognizing hosta from their patterns? :) Give me some app that could do like the OCR scanner on my phone with hosta leaves, and I'd love for it to identify all my NOIDS.

Try some of the other browsers available in the Apple Store, there's a Firefox option now too. Look into it because there's an adblock for it. Adblock is the best adblocker. http://www.virtualfirefox.com/adblock-for-ipad I have heard that Perfect browser is a good alternative. Other browsers potentially could have better ad blocking options. Do a Google search for browsers for iPad great information there. Are you sure you got Adaware? Because it's not an ad blocker, it's a malware, Spyware, etc removal tool. Not used much near as much these days as it was years ago.

Lucky him! First time I went to Croatia while in University (so long ago, 1990) we got around by train. Older women were waiting near the trains with pictures of their homes and you chose the nicest place and friendliest lady and stayed there. Dirt cheap. 1990s version of couch surfing I guess, or Airbnb. Here is my thread from January, but I was imagining a car trip for this one. Cesky Krumlov is a great recommendation and worth doing. You can easily fill two or three days in both Vienna and Prague, it is a tough choice. Maybe only do two nights in each if your interest in the drive through the Alps and along the Adriatic is stronger than your city interest. Start in Prague if possible, drive south to CK then through Austria to Vienna. I'm not certain of driving times, but head south to Bled. Bled is beautiful, but very small. If you can stop here for lunch for a couple of hours en route that is enough. You just have to see it, which doesn't take days. One night there if necessary. Drive on to Slovenia's capital Lublijana (spelling off a but, sorry). Lubijana is the capital of Slovenia and is a magical place, full of dragon bridges and beauty. Spend a night here. Then down to Split, you could easily do two days here as you visit the islands of Hvar, etc., from Split. Split is lovely too. On to Dubrovonik, or Mostar (Bosnia) then Dubrovonik, depending on routing and timing. One night and a full day is good for Mostar, at least two for Dubrovnik. Mostar is truly special and so dear to my heart (I worked there after the war, arriving just days after the Dayton Accords). It is a little off the regular tourist track, but it is remarkable and I'm sure you will love it.

Wow, what a neat thing. Thank you for posting this. My hubby is nearly totally blind, I'm almost always with him, lol, but this sure would be useful for folks who don't have someone close by.
