    china, here I come. another exploratory trip to china to confirm my desire to live in china 6 months each year. this time, I will be staying for about 3 weeks. received an email from the watcher. he is also confirmed to go on the same flight.yip, yip, yIP, YIPPEE!!!!! YAHOOOO!!!!the cost of the airplane ticket was about 30 dollars more expensive than the ticket I used in the may trip. understandable though. what with the price of oil going ballistic and all.my plan once I get to china is to extend my exploration beyond changping out to shenzhen, and maybe guangzhou. 3 weeks is more than the 10 days of my last trip in may. but let's face it, shenzhen and guangzhou are almost as big if not bigger than bangkok. HUGE cities. will play it by ear where I venture into for this trip.I might just focus on changping and shenzhen on this upcoming trip. I am very interested in attending one of the 2 universities in shenzhen to attend their mandarin language studies programs. I see myself walking t

    Rumble: Italian soccer and flight delays
    2008-06-14 10:51:26
    Yesterday evening, I was flying out of Brindisi, South Italy. After passing airport security, I found a group of people clustered around the window of the airport police's office. I thought something was wrong, and had a look..Inside the office, the police officers were watching the Italy-Romania soccer match, and a small crowd was following the match through the window, shouting and commenting as if they were in a pub. At the other end of the departure hall, two other guys had hooked up their laptops to watch the game via internet, drawing a small crowd around them too. I could even hear the luggage handlers next to the departure lounge cheering and shouting as the match went along.Nobody seemed to mind the plane was late. Not even as the plane handlers were getting out of their office, at the last minute to prepare the flight for take-off. The passengers did get annoyed though, when arriving in Rome, the car bringing in the chocks to block the aircraft's wheels, was late, so neither

    The Flight of Solar-Powered Aircraft Helios
    2008-06-13 06:52:25
    Here is a video showing compilation of test flights of the solar-powered, remotely piloted NASA's Helios aircraft.Helios set out from Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands before 9:00 AM on Monday, August 13, 2001. Just over seven hours later, it reached 96,500 feet. Flying at about 25 miles an hour, the mission lasted nearly 17 hours, landing at 1:43 a.m. August 14, 2001This was the first time a non-rocket powered aircraft has maintained flight this far above the earth. At this altitude above ground the sky is almost black, stars shine in the daytime, and the horizon looks curved.Helios was an ultralight flying wing built by AeroVironment Inc, as a part of NASA's Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology (ERAST) project. Covered with solar cells, Helios' impressive 247 foot wide wing exceeds the wing span and even overall length of a Boeing 747 jet airliner. Helios had about 62,000 solar cells across the wing. The solar cells collect energy from the Sun and convert it to electric

    Top 9 Actors Guaranteed to Ruin Your Transatlantic Flight!
    2008-06-11 14:17:39
    As a captive audience for PS I Love You recently, and not the kind of captive audience that could at least interrupt the middling fare by shanking the warden, it seems there are certain actors whose films are more likely to be shown on commercial flights than others.Unlike a typical movie theater audience, for whom dozing off would be a common, though unintended outcome for many of these movies, in-flight screenings are to 300 plus worn out travelers, who'd rather be sleeping before the rolling of either the opening credits or the drinks cart.Like trains before them, the first commercial flights were long ago associated with all the glamor and prestige of a champagne and orange juice breakfast rather than today when they're more commonly linked to microwavable butter chicken/unidentifiable protein plastic tray repasts.These days, unless you're in first class, where cherries dipped in Belgian chocolate are dangled into eager mouths, you're more likely to encounter nose-hair singeing B.O

    High quality sporty chronograph The Pulsar PF3347 is a very well made attractive sport watch. At the Amazon price it is an amazing value.

But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

    A new online flight booking concierge
    2008-03-04 04:19:00
    I got to take a preview tour of InsideTrip.com, a new travel flight aggregator that launches Tuesday and is bound to inspire other travel search engines to question whether their service is consumer-friendly enough. You can ask yourself now, when you book your flight online, are price and schedule the only things that matter — or would you also like to compare legroom, the age of the plane, on-time performance and find out about the airline’s lost-luggage track record too? These are just some of the 12 additional types of information that can be screened when you search for your flight on InsideTrip.com. The full list of information you can get is broken down into three categories, comfort (legroom, aircraft type, aircraft age, historical plane passenger loads), speed factors (number of stops, flight duration, on-time performance, security wait time) and ease factors (connecting time, routing quality, lost-luggage track record and airport gate location).

    News: Did Pilots Fell Asleep in a 30 Minute Flight?
    2008-02-23 06:56:55
    As a frequent traveller, each time I step onto a plane, I feel like I am handing over my life to someone else. I try not to think about the risks involved in flying at 10 miles above safe ground. Sometimes, though news reports make me doubt if I should trust "the system", I hand my life to. This is one of them:Go! Flight 1002 took off from Honolulu at 9:20 a.m. on Feb. 13. It was scheduled to land in Hilo at 10:05 a.m., but the plane flew beyond Hilo Airport and was out of contact with air traffic controllers for more than 20 minutes, officials said.Investigators are trying to determine whether the pilots fell asleep and continued to fly out to sea, or if there was some sort of technical communication problem.The FAA said that even if the pilots did have a communication problem, normal procedure would be to stick to the flight plan and land the aircraft in Hilo at the appointed time.

    ThrustMaster HOTAS Cougar Flight Stick
    2008-02-04 23:00:00
    This post is a review on the ThrustMaster HOTAS Cougar Flight Stick.The ThrustMaster Cougar is widely praised as being the most realistic computer joystick and throttle available (It's actually modeled after the real F-16 joysticks). Its design does not outshine its performance though. This thing looks and feels like the real thing and if your looking for high quality joystick, look no further. BTW, if your wondering what the "HOTAS" in the joystick's name stands for, its "Hands On Throttle And Stick."The computer joystick software that is included with the Cougar makes it possible to use it for almost any application, even though its obvious main purpose is for flight simulator type games. The Cougar uses a simple connection that uses full speed USBresponse time that is 8x faster than traditional USB ports and is compatible with all flavors of Windows but not Mac. It has 28 buttons in total and multiple hat switches which make customization easy (especially with the included easy to u

    Saitek X52 Flight USB Joystick
    2008-01-17 15:55:00
    This post is a review on the Saitek X52 Flight Control USB Joystick.As the above picture shows, the Saitek X52 joystick is a controller that was built specifically for flying games. It was created based off of valuable customer feedback from the X36 and X45 models and I must say it addresses all of the problems with the previous models flawlessly. This flight joystick features 23 buttons, three 8-way hat switches and seven control axes for perfect movement control. Also, the throttle and the joystick are separate which I find extremely useful on my small, cramped computer desk.Look at the software part of things; the X52 also includes programming software that allows to to customize the joystick to suit your specific needs. This practically eliminates the need for a keyboard during your flying games; keeping your hands right on the joystick, where they should be.Moving on, this flight joystick looks great. It has many of beautiful blue buttons and an illuminated blue display which is g

    My Love of Flight 1152!
    2008-01-17 00:00:00
    It was a usual flight to see family no big deal getting past security at 6AM in the morning and curling up with a good book was my biggest thrill. Just dozing off all comfy and relaxed up in the air. I was listening to my favorite tunes on my Ipod what more could you ask? All sleepy and half closed eyes and what did I just hear? No couldn't be as I listened closely I thought I was dreaming. Once again that whiney voice boomed over the intercom. Is there any licensed medical person on the flight we have an emergency please respond. I sat full up everything in my lap on the floor no I could evade that whiney voice anymore. What exactly did she say and she noticed me as I looked around putting my hand in the air, my mind way ahead of her; Whats going on and Where? She hastened to my side all shakened and whit, talked way too fast yet asked for my license way deep in my bag. I grabbed her shoulders and said maam, Where is this person? as I flew over the chairs I left her behind me I hastened. I was in front the passengers so kind came got me for the sick passenger to find. When I arrived, he was all blue in color and his eyes all rolled back in his head and I don't know where his tongue was at first look I thought this for a split second was dead. Without hesitation and true to my calling I jumped into action without realizing all these passengers were sitting around and eyeballing. Believe it or not the stewardess at my side now there were three one was still asking me May I see your license please? If this was not so serious I c ould have laughed, but this man was in trouble and I had to work fast; I pushed her away and started assessing this man that was so ill. I just tuned out the rest. Seats were removed and I did not care he was not responsive and we were 30,000 feet in the air. No problem with caring for the patient its now second nature for me now many years of emergency care, exerience, making do, its always right there. No one
