March 6th, 2010 by pacapao
Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System in Adventure I really have no major complaints about this system, having had a Graco travel system with my oldest child I definitely prefer this system to the Graco one. The car seat is a bit bigger/heavier, but honestly they are all heavy/bulky. After the newborn stage I really don’t like lugging around an infant seat at all, no matter what brand/style.
I have only two minor complaints. #1 and the most irritating is when you have the infant seat snapped on the stroller (which is not hard at ALL, you just pop it in like you do with the carseat base in the car…of course you need to make sure the seat is reclined fully but it’s like that with EVERY travel system out there) you can’t easily reach the basket, at least not enough to get in/out of a diaper bag. It’s open just enough where I can put some shopping bags with clothes in it. I can’t really complain too much because this made me get a bag that I can attach to the handle of the stroller and I’m glad I did, it’s so much easier than having to reach down under the stroller to get things. #2, it is hard to figure out how to open/close without reading the manual. I had read the manual while pregnant but honestly didn’t read much having to do with the stroller because I figured it was just a stroller, what could be so hard. So when I misplaced the manual and arrived at the mall for my first shopping trip after baby I could NOT figure out how to open the stroller. Later I went home and watched a youtube video review to figure it out. Now that I know how, it’s so easy, but yes figuring it out when you are used to other types of strollers can be hard…just read the manual.
My son is 7 weeks old (and 9lbs) and still fits in the car seat very well, he was 5.5lbs leaving the hospital and it fit well then too. I think we are about to move to the second strap setting, but remember when babies are rear facing the straps NEED to be below baby’s shoulders. The straps adjust pretty easily too. I just love how the base works with the latch system so easily too, hook it up, press a button and the base is in the car nice and tight. My husband installed it in December during a snowstorm in Wisconsin in the hospital parking lot in less than 5 minutes. I can only comment on using the stroller with the car seat so far, but it glides very smooth and easy. I can easily push it one handed while carrying a cranky baby.
One more minor complaint that I almost forgot, the sunshade on the car seat is very small. Since it’s winter I usually have a blanket over the car seat when we are outside anyways so this hasn’t bothered me yet but I can see how it might become irritating. Chicco: 06060796650070 Memory Recline” seat remembers the last position seat was in when the stroller was folded. Has convenient one-hand fold. 3-position leg rest and flat recline for comfort. Linked one touch rear brakes and all-wheel suspension. Reversible laminated canopy. Contains parent’s and child’s trays. Has an accessible shopping basket. The KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat interior is lined with “EPS” energy absorbing foam for improved impact protection. The large seat provides ample room for infants up to 30 lbs. Stroller holds up to 50 lbs. The newborn infant insert provides padding for fit and comfort for babies from 4 to 11 lbs. 5-point harness with one-hand center pull adjustment. Ergonomically designed carry handle. The adjustable, multi-position canopy offers maximum protection from weather. Locks into the Chicco Cortina, Trevi and S3 strollers. One-hand removal from both stroller and base. Conforms to FMVSS 213. The KeyFit 30 base has a “single-pull” latch adjustment that simplifies the usually complex process of car seat installation. Two precision bubble levels.
Features:
- Multi-position “Memory Recline” seat
- 3-position leg rest and flat recline
- Linked one touch rear brakes and all-wheel suspension
- Reversible laminated canopy
- Large seat with room for infants up to 30 lbs
- 5-point harness with one-hand adjustment
- Adjustable, multi-position canopy
- Easy one-hand removal from both stroller and base

Military Gear For Kids
March 1st, 2010 by pacapao

Do you have a kid who likes to play with guns and war games on your PC? For sure you are bothered of the violence that these war elements give your kid. Well you should but not to the extent that you force your kid to stay away from it. Maybe your kid is starting to develop an eagerness of becoming a soldier someday. If this is the case you better support him and unleash that dream of your boy. You can give him a military cap or military inspired clothes or gears that resemble the real military tactical gears. The molding of a good soldier usually starts at younger age so better start it now with your kid.
Military tactical gear and camo gear are not only for the big boys, but for the kids too. The younger generations or should I say the future soldiers can now feel like the full-grown and real military men. The kids too can wear all the clothes, gear, and accessories that was once only for the big boys. The kids will no longer try to use the military jacket of their fathers that fits them as a coverall and almost runs down their feet. And the fathers who are rushing for an operation will never go crazy gaga looking for the headgear that the kid snatched from their closet. The kids can have their own that fits them well so they don’t have to borrow from their parents.
The military supplies and surplus shops do not only sell military issue and surplus equipments. They also specialize in sales of camo gear and military inspired kids clothing and accessories such as jackets, pants, coverall, and even patches or insignias. Sorry kids but no guns for sale. You can ask your father for a toy gun but the real gun is a big no no.

Car Seat Belts
February 28th, 2010 by pacapao

When you get in a car, you had better be ready to buckle your seat belt! Seat belts save millions of lives every year, preventing both injuries and death. But the man who invented them died years before cars were invented…and before he could see his most amazing theories realized.
Seat belts are credited to Sir George Cayley, regarded as one of the most important inventors in history. Cayley was a wealthy landowner who, from an early age, was obsessed with the concept of aerodynamics. As a youth, he developed a three-bladed propeller that he attached to the tip of a toy top. When it spun, the top levitated a few inches off the ground! Cayley knew he was on to something. He didn’t know it yet, but had produced an early version of what would become the helicopter.
Cayley devoted much of his research toward building a flying machine. At this point in time, most scientists believed the only way for a man to fly was through a machine that mimicked a bird’s flapping wings. These machines were known as “ornithopters.”
Cayley believed that there was a better way to build a flying machine, but was frustrated by his inability to find a source of propulsion strong enough to send and keep a machine in the air. This was back in the late 1700s and early 1800s, before machines ran on gas-powered engines. At several points in his career, Cayley went back to pursuing the ornithopter model, with no success.
In 1799, Cayley produced a metal disk with etchings that prefigured the modern-day airplane as we know it. On one side, Cayley depicted the four forces that govern flight (weight, lift, drag and thrust). On the other side, Cayley depicted his version of an aircraft that employed those forces. Cayley’s aircraft featured a fixed main wing, a fuselage, a cruciform tail unit with surfaces for vertical and horizontal control, a cockpit for the pilot, and a rudimentary means of propulsion that consisted of revolving vanes, a precursor to the propeller. Later, he studied the structure of birds’ wings to figure out how they stayed aloft. This led to the design of airfoils, the part of a plane’s wing that produces lift.
Cayley’s theories helped establish the principles of aerodynamics, though much of his work was ignored at the time. He wound up building a formal version of his glider, which he tested under controlled circumstances…in the staircase of his family home, Brompton Hall. Eventually, he built a glider that was used to carry the son of one of his servants – who became the first known human in history to fly.
Near the end of his life, Cayley had a successful test flight of a glider piloted by his coachman, John Appleby. It flew about 200 yards before a crash landing. Reportedly, Appleby told Cayley, “Sir George, I wish to give notice. I was hired to drive, not to fly.” It would be another 50 years before the Wright Brothers finally perfected Cayley’s invention – the airplane.
So what does this have to do with seat belts? Easy – Cayley created a safety belt to hold his pilots fast when they were inside his gliders. In addition, the system of wheels on chains he created for his gliders helped bring about another invention – the bicycle wheel. If you ride a bike, drive in a car, or fly in an airplane, remember what you owe to George Cayley, known as “The Father of Flight.”

Troops Would Rather Have the Air Force A-10 Warthog Aircraft
February 25th, 2010 by pacapaoTo me the A-10 “Warthog” is the MVP of TAC of warplanes. In Afghanistan, they sent squadron of AH-64; they took so much fire and got damaged badly. Call in the “Warthogs”, they probable can opera rate in that kind of environment. I read that our “Aging” fleet of A-10’s is going to be replaced real soon by the F-16 aircrafts. The falcon flies too fast, lacks the gau cannon, dose not have 10 hard points, and the pilot dose not sit in a titanium bathtub. The falcon is not built for this kind of missions. The A-10 systems are redundant.
To the contrary, USAF likes the A-10 so much they’re dropping the dime to pay to get them all upgraded for 20 more years of service and boosting their capabilities by making them able to use JDAMs. Now the A-10 will be able to perform as effective close air support in all situations, including those that the F-16, F-15E, B-52 and B-1 already could and have performed for the last several years.
With the call for retiring warplanes you hear in the news, even here, I was kind of upset. Thank you much for enlightening me. Yes, a stroke of Air Force genius. I knew they were flying at night; now, this “killer” is more potent. I read a while ago that the AH-64 was getting shot up pretty good in the Afghan Mountains. Perfect job for the A-10 aircraft. Some people personally don’t see the need for replacing the beloved A-10. The A-10 has proved its worth time after time in many major combat missions. I personally do not see another attack aircraft that can replace the A-10 in the close air support role.
Over and over again I hear the A.F. wants to ditch this aircraft. When they do, and they will, they need transferred to the Marine Corps. If it’s deadly now think how deadly it would be in the hands of the close air support experts. You’re talking about a task the MC has perfected to a fine art. Mark it and keep your head down while the treat is blown to bits or vaporized in a fire ball.
I look at the A-10/OA-10 and recall the OV-10. If the latter was brought back, hardened, re-powered, and given teeth, it would hang on station longer and, with Marine pilots, provide a deadly umbrella. That was part of the original thought that span the old OV-10.
I would hate to see the day the Air Force dumps the A-10 Thunderbolt. If that day comes, dump it right on the Marines lap. But it would need runways or modified landing gear for carrier ops, and I have been a big supporter of keeping the bolt, as long as it can fly safety.
Yes, the F-35 will be able to fly many CAS missions that sometime in the past we might have sent an A-10 on. So can the F-15E, F-16, B-52, B-1, etc. But at the rate over the last decade or two that people who don’t make the decisions have declared the A-10 is being dumped, we’d need to build 1000 more just so we could scrap them to satisfy all the doom and gloom.

Review of Aces High II
February 22nd, 2010 by pacapaoAces High II is a massive multi-player online combat simulation centered around the World
War II air-war. Online multi player gaming is HUGE, and Aces High II brings Air Combat Gaming to a whole new level. You can play other gamers from all across the world right in front of you computer.
The download for this game only takes around 5 minutes or so. After the download was complete, the
installation is quick and easy. File size is relatively small, around 100Mb or so, and registration only takes
a few minutes. Your account with Aces High II is always free and they never ask for any billing information until you use your two week free trial. After you complete your two week trial (one per customer), the game then prompts you as to whether you want to subscribe or not. The subscription is $14.95 U.S. per month. If you chose not to subscribe, you can continue to play in the Head-to-Head arenas or over your LAN for free.
After installation and registration were complete, I tried running the game in the off line arena.
The game froze on me before I even got out of the menu area. I’m not sure what caused this, but my
computer is well above the minimum requirements for the game. So I restarted the game and tried it
again. After the restart I had no problems with the game running in the off line mode. Although it took me a little while to figure out the game play, but after going to their website I was up and running. They have a very detailed FAQ section and instructions page to answer most all of your questions.
Game play in the off line arena was very smooth with no noticeable skips or glitches in the game. Graphics were detailed nicely and looked very realistic. Flight controls took awhile to get used to, but that’s typical of most flight simulator games. Off line mode gives you a chance to get used to flying and landing airplanes, and to learn all of the controls for this World War II air-war simulation game. I was impressed by the accuracy in the game play, flight was relatively slow but accurate of this vintage World War II aircraft.
After getting used to the game play in the off line arena, I decided to try out the online arena. Heres where I really started to run into trouble. As I tried starting the online mode the game froze on me immediately, as it did when I first tried playing offline. After restarting my computer and the game 4 or five times I never could get it to play online. So I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it. After the reinstall, I restarted the game, went straight to the online arena and the game played perfectly after that.
With the game running properly now online, I really began to see what this game could do. There are many different battles and arenas to chose from. I started off in the training area to get used to dog fights in the World War II aircraft. The fights are a blast and seem very realistic. The game’s graphic and detail were very smooth threw out the game play. Even when there is a lot of action going on the graphics stayed steady with very few skips. I have played this World War II air-war simulation game for 6 or 7 hours altogether now and it has been a blast.
If you are into air flight simulation games, this is one of the most realistic ones out there. There
are many combat types other than just the air war. This is a massive multi-player online combat simulation game. You can have battles in the air, land and sea. Although it took awhile to get used to the controls at first it was well worth the trouble. After getting thru the initial freezing up problems I had with the game. It has only froze on me a couple of times since, and I give it a VERY GOOD rating..

How to Keep Your Baby Entertained on an Airplane Flight
February 20th, 2010 by pacapao
Image : http://www.flickr.com
Traveling with a little baby doesn’t have to be the disaster it’s always painted out to be. Smart moms know that the secret to a hassle free trip with a happy smiling baby is…packing! How prepared you are for any eventuality on the flight is what determines the kind of flight you have.
Apart from the usual diapers, formula and feeding bottles that are an absolute must, every parent needs to pack enough play things to keep baby entertained on flight. If you’re lucky enough to have your baby drop off to sleep during a 4 hour flight, then you have no problem on your hands. If not, make sure you arrive on board with simple, space saving and more importantly, noiseless toys.
A string of beads or bracelets with loose beads strung together can provide a less than a year old baby almost an hour of fun. Choose toys that are soft and colorful, and include movement. Examples include push type dolls or rubber faces that the baby can squeeze to get the eyes to pop out.
Something as simple as disposable colorful cups and straws can provide hours of entertainment. At this stage in his development, your baby can focus his concentration for a long period of time on a single object.
Books with loads of colorful pictures are another hit with babies. Make sure they are made of thick paper or cardboard that’s not easily torn. You don’t want to have to spend the entire flight picking up bits and pieces of paper that he’s torn, and strewn on the ground.
A portable DVD player is a handy thing to have on a long flight, and can be used for kids of all ages. Bring along his favorite Baby Einstein videos and you’re guaranteed hours of peace and quiet.
When it comes to babies, you don’t need a bag full of toys to keep him happy. A roll of duct tape, a calculator – just every day things that lie around the house can keep him entertained. But bring a variety of things to keep him entertained – when he gets bored after a while, you don’t want to be short of things for him to occupy himself with.
