New RC Car - Hot Wheels RC Stealth Rides Racing Car
The Hot Wheels RC Stealth Rides Racing Car is a curious mixture of innovation and convention. When you ride it you get to feel a cleverly compiled combination of ingenuity and good old-fashioned dashing fun. A lot of thought has been put into making this little baby. And although it appears to be a midget and you will question the physical returns you are getting for the amount you are shelling out, it can provide a very powerful and thrilling experience once you put it to use. If you want all your doubts to melt there is only one way - go for this Hot Wheels RC Racing Car.
We recommend this car to be used by kids in the age group of 6 to 12, although the manufacturer recommends a minimum age of 8. The car comes as an assembled unit with a controller cum charger cum holder. Also provided with this are 3 extra batteries and a set of instructions. It would be advisable to be thorough with the instructions before you start operating this little devil.
You might have purchased other such cars and waited for them to charge fully before you can operate them. Well The Hot wheels RC Stealth Rides Racing Car is a bit different - you can start operating it the moment you get it out of the box. It has a folding system. When you pack it you first make it flat, as if your foot trampled it upon, by picking it up and gently squeezing it between your thumb and index finger. This action activates an entire set of levers and links that cause the roof and windows to collapse downward into the body and into the sides of the car. Along with this the wheels and tires fold outward to complete the process of transforming a three-dimensional object into an almost two-dimensional one. The folded version of the car fits with precision into the large slot like pouch in the controller. The combined set of folded car and its controller is only as thick as a thick touch screen mobile phone.
Driving the car requires you to only put it on the ground and press a concealed button on the rear window. The entire car comes together in almost a fraction of second and is ready to vroom. And do not be worried about any damage to the car due to frequent winding and unwinding - the process is perfectly safe and absolutely smooth. There are no axles for the car to enable the winding and unwinding actions. The soft rubber tires take a good grip over most indoor surfaces. The Hot Wheels RC Stealth Rides Racing Car has a very low ground clearance and therefore should be used indoors only. The front wheels do not steer. For turning the car there are two side motors - one on each side - that drive each of the rear wheels. When you operate one of them the car turns in that direction. If you want the car to spin in place for some extra fun, play both these motors in opposite directions.
Apart from the low ground clearance that restricts the movements of the car indoors, the only other area of concern is the batteries used to operate it. The 3 batteries enable you to run the car immediately after you purchase it. But these AG13 or LR44 batteries are not very common and you may have to visit more than one store before you find one. You get three additional ones with the car. However, that does not diminish the thrilling moments this baby can give you when you drive her. And most importantly this car does not fuss around when you flat it out and park it.

Top 10 Winter Activities to Enjoy With Your Family for the 2010 Holidays
It's easy to get the winter blahs if you're always just sitting indoors in front of the TV, but how do you stay active when it's cold outside? If you're wondering about ideas for fun winter activities you can enjoy with your family, and looking for deals on all the gear you need, look no further! Here are some handy ways to survive the 2010 holidays in style, with a top 10 list of activities ranging from the adventurous to the relaxed.
1. Snowboarding: If your family enjoys a little bit of a challenge and likes the adrenaline rush, take to the hills and try snowboarding! While it may have a reputation for being a bit of a pricey sport, there are some great online deals on snowboarding gear at sites like Action Village.
2. Skiing: For a slightly slower but still thrilling pace, downhill skiing is a winter favorite. Make sure you think about whether you're going to be doing mostly on-piste or mountain skiing to ensure you get the best skis for your run.
3. Cross-country skiing: This is a versatile activity that can be both fast-paced and relaxed, depending on what type of ski you get. The traditional version of cross-country skiing is called the classic style, which runs on tracks and tends to go at a slower speed, while those looking for a good workout should try skate skiing or Nordic skiing, where the skier pushes out each ski like they're ice skating.
4. Snowshoeing: Today's snowshoes are nothing like the unwieldy webbed footwear of yore! Enjoy a nature hike with your kids with a trusty brand like Tubbs, available at Buy.com. Get something like the pink Tubbs Girls Storm Snowshoes for snowshoes that your daughter will love!
5. Tobogganing: While you can enjoy this fun childhood activity with nothing but a garbage pail lid, let your little one enjoy a safer ride with the Emsco Plastic Infant Boggan Toboggan from Kmart.com, which includes seat pads for extra insulation, a tow rope for parents to hang onto, and even a seatbelt to keep your baby safe and secure.
6. Ice skating: Whether you're into doing figure-eights or going for speed, there's no doubt that ice skating is a great winter pastime! To land that perfect triple-salchow, try the Bladerunner Solstice Women's Figure Skates from Buy.com.
7. Hockey: If your favorite thing to do is watch the Washington Capitals or Detroit Red Wings in action, why not get into the rink yourself? Get started with a good hockey skate, like the American 468 Ice Force Hockey Skate from Shoebuy.com.
8. Winter running: There's nothing more refreshing than running through the snow, and as long as you bundle up warmly and wear lots of layers, it really isn't as bad as it sounds, and you can wear the same shoes you wear in the summer. A well-ventilated running jacket is key to shield you from the wind and wick away sweat, so buy something like the K-Swiss Running Jacket from Shoebuy.com.
9. Winter biking: There's no need to put away your bike for the winter season, especially if you bike commute to work - just like with a car, it's possible to get a studded winter tire for your bicycle, like the Continental Nordic Spike Studded Winter City/Trekking Bicycle Tire from BikeSomeWhere.com.
10. Camping: Believe it or not, it's possible to camp successfully in the winter! The key is a good four-season tent, a sleeping pad to go under your sleeping bag and create an insulated cushion between you and the frozen ground, and a very warm sleeping bag - check the temperature ratings before you buy. Browse the great selections at Cabela's for some ideas (and for some extra savings, look out for discounted gift cards for Cabela's during the holiday sales and use them yourself to shop for camping gear!)
These might help you find some creative gifts for the athletes on your list too! And here are a couple more tips to make sure you stay warm while having fun in the cold:
Layering: Wearing several layers is more practical and keeps you warm better than just piling on your heavy winter jacket if you plan to stay active. It's possible to stay warm while wearing thin, flexible clothing as long as you look for wicking materials that carry sweat away from the skin, and wear a base layer, thermal layer and outer layer. Here's a great article on how to layer effectively: Clothing Layers For Winter Sports Dress as if it were 10 degrees warmer for vigorous activity: Overheating can be just as much of a problem as freezing in the winter! If you're planning an activity that really gets your heart rate up, like winter running, it's a good idea to dress as if it were 10 degrees warmer since you will sweat when exercising. Stay hydrated: Even though you will feel less thirsty in the cold temperature, it's a good idea to drink water whenever you can. Protect your skin with petroleum jelly: Here's a tip I learned for running in sub-zero temperatures - put a layer of petroleum jelly on exposed skin to keep it warm and protect it from freezing. It may not feel great when you're slathering it on at first, but it really helps when you're out there in the cold, plus it also keeps the moisture in! Stay on course with GPS: Whether you're training for a race or just need to stay on track in white-out conditions, it's a good idea to get a GPS unit, especially one that you can wear on your wrist and that monitors your heart rate. For one with all the bells and whistles, try the Garmin Forerunner 310XT with heart rate monitor and GPS receiver, available from CompuPlus.com!
Have fun staying active in the winter!

4 Fun Indoor Activities for Your Toddler - Perfect For A Rainy Day
Have you ever had the lack of fun activities, to do with your toddler? I have been there with my 3 year old. We used these fun indoor activities, to bring a little sunshine to our rainy day.
1. Obstacle course - Make a fun obstacle course for your toddler. Let him/her walk around a cloth pile, jump over a pillow, crawl under a table, go under a bridge you made, walk to the left of a chair, to the right of a pot... Let your imagination flow. Make it a little course with start and finish. This will be guaranteed fun and exciting for your toddler.
2. Match the photo with the real thing - Bring out your digital camera and take some photos of things you have in your home. If you can print the photos that is great, if not let your toddler look on the camera screen. Have your toddler match the photo with the real thing. If you take a photo of the kitchen table, ask your toddler the shape of the object is it round or square? Also ask your toddler what color it is, brown or black... If you take a photo of your toddler's stuffed animals, how many is there? What are they wearing?
3. Catch the Balloon - Blow up a Balloon for your toddler to play with. Let her tap it up in the air, when it comes down have your toddler catch it and give it a new tap. Ask her/him what color it is, what shape it is. Have your toddler count how many times she/he can catch it without the balloon touching the floor. Great indoor activity for your toddler. (When you are done playing make sure you put the balloon away, small pieces of latex balloon are a choking risk for children.)
4. Fun with water - We know that Water + Toddler=Great fun! So fill the sink or a big pot with water, add some plastic toys and you have success. Make sure you are in a "splash safe" area, where he/she can splash away and pour water. Of course never leave your child alone with water.
Other things that are great to have home for a rainy day are books, when they are on sale get some new ones and save until you really, really need them. Play Doh a great entertainer for older toddlers. One of my son's favorite things to do is puzzles. Also Legos or Duplos will get your toddlers imagination going.

Security Camera System - Buyer's Guide
Although the application of CCTV security have not changed very much over the past years, the tools and equipment have significantly. Cameras became smaller, cheaper and better, but the major breakthrough happened in recording equipment.
Therefore many customers shopping for complete CCTV monitoring and recording systems are confused by such a verity of available products. Goal of this article is to guide buyers toward best possible and most economical type of CCTV equipment, based on intended implementation and requirements.
Selecting the right cameras.
It is virtually impossible to describe all types of available ones in this short article. We will focus our attention on most popular and widely used camera types instead.
CCTV security cameras produce images using CMOS or CCD (Charge Couple Device) chips. Tiny, very low price CCTV cameras usually use CMOS technology, produce poor quality images and have very poor light sensitivity. Decent quality CCTV cameras use CCD technology. The size of the CCD chip is normally 1/4", 1/3" or 1/2". As a rule of thumb, the larger the size, the higher the quality of the image produced and the higher the price. However, higher density 1/4" and 1/3" CCD chips can now produce as good an image as many 1/3" or 1/2" chips.
The number of TV lines in the security camera image is a measure of picture resolution (sharpness). The larger the number of TV lines, the better the resolution and hence, overall picture quality. Standard resolution camera may have 350-380 lines, over 400 TV Lines is generally considered good resolution while over 500 TV lines is considered high resolution. B/W chip cameras produce greater resolution and better light sensitivity, therefore suitable for use in dark areas where light conditions are poor most of the time.
On the other hand color cameras offer more realistic and natural picture. CCTV cameras are usually divided into different types based on the body of the camera used.
Professional grade cameras.
Have box type body with the ability to use different types and size of lenses. Exchangeable lenses enable this camera, to monitor objects from virtually any distance. Although for indoor use, they can be used for outdoor when combined with weatherproof housing. They are considered to be the most flexible and widely used by professionals for commercial installations.
Bullet cameras.
Bullet cameras are, as the name suggest contained inside bullet shaped housing.
Most bullet cameras are weatherproof and sealed without the ability to use different lenses. Great advantage of bullet camera is the small size and integrated design, some bullet cameras will even have infrared LED future built-in. Infrared technology is simply LED light in infrared spectrum (not visible to human eye). This light will illuminate viewing area, making possible monitoring in complete darkness. This is great future, but it only works up to certain distance (usually between 10 and 50 ft. depending on model) Vary simple to install and estheticly designed, bullet cameras are great choice for residential and do-it-yourself installations where monitoring objects are within about 25ft from the camera location (with standard 3.6mm lens).
Board Cameras.
Board Cameras are basically fixed lens mounted on a circuit board. These cameras may be packaged in a small case (Mini Cameras) or dome (Mini Dome) or simply sold unpackaged, for mounting by the purchaser. Lenses in these are either of a normal industry aperture or a "pinhole" lens of very small aperture. Pinhole lens cameras are often called "spy" cameras and may be mounted in a concealed way for covert surveillance purposes. The most popular examples of covert board ones are smoke detector and motion detector cameras.
Since the lenses in board cameras are pre-mounted, have a fixed iris and are usually of a short focal length (i.e. wide angle), their flexibility of usefulness is limited. However, this type of camera can provide a low cost solution in the right situation, particularly in a home environment. We have shortly described most popular types of cameras, lets now discus, how and where they mite be used.
Professional types with C/CS mount lens attachment generally offer best performance and many important futures, like lens control output, Back Light Compensation and many more...
Distance from monitoring object to the camera is not an issue, that is why ability to select different lenses, based on location is so important. Installation is bit complicated and professional installation strongly recommended. We recommend this type of security cameras for commercial installations.
Most Bullet cameras in comparison, do not offer high resolution and lens selection flexibility, but are likely to be weatherproof, some will have infrared light built-in and most of all they are relatively easy to implement. They usually come with 3.6mm lens witch are considered to be suitable for most standard installations (good for covering small to medium size room or equivalent).
For larger rooms or longer distances, cameras with 6mm or higher lens may be required. They are great choice for any do-it-yourself installation.
Board cameras in contrast are widely used in covert camera installations, sometimes called Spy Cameras. Many are basically board ones with built-in transmitter. We are not going to go into wireless cameras right now, as this would be enough material for completely new article.
Board cameras are sold as plain circuit board, for integrating into hidden camera devices. They are also available in dome housing, as vary popular Dome Camera or integrated with Smoke Detector, Motion Detector, Exit Sign and so on. Most also come with 3.6mm lens although some will allow lens to be replaced.
Over the time, most practical design has been Dome Camera with its aesthetic appearance it blends into surroundings, especially with drop down sealing, great for use in stores, lobbies, gas stations and other public places. Practical solution for covert installation are also, Motion and Smoke Detector cameras, they are absolutely not substitute for your security alarm or fire protection. They should always be selected based on the location of the camera (inside/outside), distance from the monitoring object, light condition and budget.
When shopping for security cameras, customers are faced with the fact that they will need to select one or another recording device.
The days of well-known CCTV time-lapse VCR recorder are almost over.
Although some customers still prefer this old fashioned recording solution, it is well worth to invest some extra money to purchase a good quality digital video recorder (DVR). Digital recorder transfers analog camera video feed into digital format, and stores it on hard drive. There are two major types of digital recorders on the market right now.
PC Based Systems.
A special board and software installed on the computer will allow camera inputs and store video on the hard drive.
Many people are under the misconception that personal computer with additional hardware installed, will do the job. This explains the hundreds of companies that have hung up a sign, taken out some ads and begun working out of basements and garages, holding themselves out to be DVR manufacturers and security specialists. The main problem with this type of CCTV recorders lies in the main component of it... Yes, it is a computer, designed to do unlimited tasks, but non well. The truth is that any computer based digital video recorder is, and will always be vulnerable to software crashes, hang-ups, system instability, virus related problems etc...
Stand Alone Systems.
Very similar in appearance and control functions to standard VCR recorders, are truly remarkable devices. Most video processing is done by hardware, therefore eliminating system crashes, video is also stored on hard drive in digital format. The basic operating system, usually Linux, is permanently stored on special processor, witch is impossible to overwrite or corrupt. Designed and manufactured with single application in mind, it is by far better in performance and reliability to its PC based rival.
Some DVR systems will even have remote monitoring capability, useful when monitoring is required in different locations through Internet or network. Most important futures to look for when selecting the right DVR recorder are motion detection and frame speed. The higher the frame speed the more fluent video recording. Motion detection will allow recording video from each camera only when motion is detected; this is great for extending video recording time.
Security Monitors.
Video from Security recorder could be displayed on regular TV monitor. It is OK to do it this way, for baby monitoring or residential application, when quality of the picture is not that important. However for professional installation, security monitors are as much important as cameras. They offer extended life of picture tube (necessary with any static picture, that can cause picture burnout) and much grater resolution.
Cables and wiring.
Finally any camera installation will require proper wiring. Good quality cable will prevent video degradation over long distance runs. It is recommended to use RG59 or RG6 coaxial cables as it is fully shielded and will prevent video loss up to 400 ft. Coaxial cables will require BNC connectors and proper installation possibly done by experienced technician. In short runs plug and play non-coaxial cables with factory installed BNC connectors may be used (up to 150 ft.). The plug and play cables are easy enough to install by not experienced users.
Cables for CCTV cameras consist of two cables bundled in one jacket. One cable for video and one for power delivery.
Conclusion.
Every CCTV system is as good and reliable as its weakest component. With this in mind, investing on highest quality and performance cameras, while purchasing low performance recorder, from economical and practical standpoint just does not make sense.
For example, why use CCTV cameras with 500 TV lines of resolution with monitor that offers only 380 or less. All the benefit of high-resolution camera is affectively sacrificed by limited capability of monitor. Asking questions is important before purchasing video security system, and your vendor will probably be able to give more details and recommend equipment for specific needs and requirements.
