Snowmobile ATV Helmet Cameras For Snowcross Racing, Trail Riding, and Mountain Climbing

Many snowmobilers often ride in harsh weather conditions. The winter months of the year bring ice, snow and sleet. Summertime activities for snowmobile and ATV enthusiasts can also involve drag racing on grass, asphalt strips, or even across water. For these conditions there are a few options to consider when choosing the best helmet camera for riding in all these conditions.

Not all helmet cameras are built for the most extreme weather environments such as snow and ice. Look for a bullet camera style camera that provides Waterproof and anti fogging recording capabilities. If you already have a compatible camcorder, the 580 Ex View bullet cams can be integrated with your camcorder simply by connecting it to the A/V input. You may also use a DVR as a recording device. A 580 Ex View bullet camera scans 580 lines of high resolution video and includes a high gain two channel external microphone to capture sound. The helmet mounts are durable and can be moved from one location to another. The Ex view bullet cams use a .1 lux sensor which is excellent for low light conditions. As long as you are using a light source, the 580 Line Ex-View CCD camera will work at night or in the dark.

Another option for recording is an all digital Ultimate DVR Helmet Cam Video System like the VIO-POV camera . This system includes an LCD screen for reviewing recorded video and setting up your shots. This video camera has a 5 Lux color sensor and a sub .1 lux monochrome sensor. The Vio has a ten foot radius remote control for ease of recording. This camera provides options of clip mode, loop mode, continuous recording and video segments with tags. The video system requires 4 AA batteries with a record times exceeding 4 hours at the highest resolution. This unit is compatible up to an 8 GB SDHC card. The lens is a 2.9 mm which is a 110 degree field of view, for the wider field of view with focus being closer.

A helmet camera makes a great gift for the outdoor winter sports athlete in your family. Whether you're skiing, snowmobiling, snowboarding, skating, sledding, or just having a snow ball fight, be sure to save every last moment on video with a helmet cam. When purchasing a helmet cam, it is recommend to contact a reputable, established dealer , with toll free number for any questions and special holiday pricing.

When & How to Trim Citrus Trees in Arizona

In the elementary school I attended in Tempe, Arizona, I was taught about the Five C's of Arizona. They are: Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Citrus and Climate. For this article, I will be focusing on the fourth C of this list. Arizona's climate is perfect for growing citrus trees, but not all Arizonans know how to care for them. The biggest mistakes commonly made involve how and when to prune citrus trees. Many people are concerned about WHEN they should prune their citrus trees, though that is not the most important question involved. For some, the answer could be: NEVER! Perhaps a more appropriate question is: why should I not trim my citrus trees?

Why NOT to Trim Citrus Trees

When one Valley resident asked The Arizona Republic's garden expert when she should trim her citrus trees, this was part of the reply: "Homeowners like to trim their citrus trees for looks. Did you know that citrus trees are actually bushes and their branches naturally grow low to the ground? That's Mother Nature's way of protecting the fruit and bark ..." Those who have driven by the old groves that still exist in parts of East Mesa may understand this idea of citrus trees as overgrown shrubs. The popular misconception that citrus trees should be trimmed the same way as any other type of tree means a shortened life span for many citrus trees in the Phoenix area. This is why I would like readers to ask themselves why they want to trim them before they wonder about when to prune their citrus trees. Whether the aim is to optimize citrus fruit production or simply to have your citrus trees contribute aesthetically to your yard, you should keep their overall health in mind when trimming.

When & How to Trim Citrus Trees in Arizona

How to Trim Citrus Trees

Even if done during the most optimal time of year, any pruning done should be very minimal. As Dave Owens, also known as 'The Garden Guy' states, "Citrus trees like to be left unpruned. The more foliage and dead wood on the tree, the more sun protection the tree trunk will get." John Begeman, another gardening expert of Arizona, points out that "more leaves equates to more and better fruit," and also recommends pruning "only if you must and only using the proper techniques." As outlined in a 1987 article by Lowell F. True, there is some trimming that may be necessary. Although it is best to leave a 'skirt' (branches that nearly touch the ground), it is all right to trim this away just enough to make watering and fertilizing easier. Errant branches may also be trimmed, especially if they rub against other branches. As for the outer foliage, the tree's silhouette, this may be 'shaped' for aesthetic purposes, as long as great care is taken to avoid exposing too much bark of the tree to sunlight. There is only one type of pruning that can and should be done regardless of the time of year, especially if you maintain citrus trees for their fruit: the removal of sucker growth. These suckers are also called 'water sprouts,' and will sprout from the trunk or even the roots of the tree. A layman may feel this necessary out of intuition or a desire to make the tree look nice, but in fact there is a good reason behind it. True says: "Be sure to eliminate all suckers arising from below the bud union [which is the site of grafting]. They are from the rootstock variety and will not bear edible fruit. When left to develop, they will take over the top portion causing your named citrus variety to be reverted back to an undesired variety." One important 'when' of pruning involves limbs that have been killed by frost, do not remove this deadwood until after spring growth has started, so you can be sure of the extent of the damage.

When to Trim Citrus Trees in Arizona

The best time of year to trim citrus trees is in the spring. If you trim them between about mid March to early May, the trees are less likely to be harmed by extremes in temperature. Citrus fruit ripens in the late fall, from about November to February for most varieties. Minimal pruning during this harvest time is also acceptable. During the winter there is danger of frost, and during the summer there is the opposite problem. Citrus trees are highly sensitive to sun damage, especially during the hottest months of the year and during the hottest parts of the day. If the tree is not shaded during the afternoon, any bare trunk or branches need to be wrapped or painted (whitewashed) for sun protection. The tree is most vulnerable where it receives direct sunshine in the afternoon: the Southwestern exposure. This is why it is so important not to overprune citrus trees: branches subjected to direct sun will burn, and full exposure to the trunk can kill the tree altogether.

In conclusion, I would like to re-emphasize that knowing when to trim citrus trees is not nearly as important as understanding how to trim citrus trees. The number one rule in knowing when to trim citrus trees is the sun. The number one rule in knowing how to trim citrus trees is minimalism. Remember, they are actually just large bushes.

The Top 5 Best 50th Birthday Presents

Turning the big 5-0 can be an exciting. Friends and family usually gather together for a huge bash with dancing, laughing, cake, and of course...50th birthday presents. So the trick is figuring out what to buy for the guest of honor at a 50th birthday gala. Well, with 50 being the new 40 (or so they say) the selection of birthday presents interesting to the modern 50 year old is much larger than it used to be. Follows are 5 fabulous ideas for fantastic 50th birthday presents.

'This is Your Life'

Once a popular television show, "this is your life" gifts spotlight the first fifty years of the birthday guest's life. There are several formats that can be used to create such a gift. A scrapbook is one good way to celebrate someone's life, provided you have access to photos or memoirs from the birthday guest's past. A photo collage is another good choice and gives the birthday "boy or girl" the chance to display your thoughtful gift in their home afterwards. If the guest of honor enjoys the digital way of life, you can even convert old home movies into a DVD at an affordable price. Just search online or in your local phone for home movie conversions.

The Top 5 Best 50th Birthday Presents

Adventure vacation

A more extravagant idea for a 50th birthday gift is an adventure vacation at any of the hundreds of places around the world that specialize in exciting vacation getaways. Hang-gliding, hiking, skiing, deep sea diving and mountain climbing are all available choices for the risk-seeking birthday honoree. So if your 50-year-old loved one enjoys taking a trip on the wilder side of the road, an adventure getaway may just be the way to go for a perfect gift idea.

Relaxation Presents

If, on the other hand, the birthday guest of honor in your life has quite enough adventure in their life already, a relaxation gift may be a better option. Relaxation presents can be anything from a day at the spa to a back massager. For the 50-year-old gentleman a great way to relax can be a day of golf or fishing. Ladies may enjoy the day at the spa mentioned earlier or a home facial kit with the lotions, cloths and aromatherapy candles included. Either gender may enjoy a good book and some imported coffee, tea, or whiskey (depending on their preference).

Gag Gifts

While this wouldn't be my first choice, many people enjoy laughing at themselves and what better time to find humor than at a 50th birthday celebration? For gag gifts you can search online or at the local mall. 'Over-The-Hill' themed items are usually popular for making light of the guest of honor's age. Before you decide on going with a gag gift, I would make sure that the party is casual enough to warrant it. Also I would stick to giving gag gifts only to people you know really well and are sure that they won't take offense. Keep in mind that while 50 surely isn't considered as old as it used to be, some people can still be sensitive about hitting that half-century spot.

Digital Gifts

Digital gifts can be great gifts for anyone's birthday and since technology changes so quickly, you can almost be assured that your loved one doesn't already have a duplicate of your gift at home. Digital cameras, hand-held video recorders, as well as the popular DVD players are all excellent ideas for 50th birthday presents. However, an Ipod or generic MP3 Player is the best idea for a gift for the 50-year-old who doesn't already have one. Whatever digital gift you consider buying, make sure to do your research first and keep in mind the knowledge level of the person you are buying for. If the person turning 50 has only a limited understanding of digital cameras, don't buy them an advanced set-up with all the bells and whistles. Just a basic aim-and-shoot camera would be best.

As you can see the options are almost limitless. As long as you take into consideration the personality and lifestyle of the birthday guest-of-honor, your 50th birthday presents are sure to be greatly appreciated and enjoyed for years to come.

Basic Rock Climbing Gear

We've all seen rock climbers on television or in the movies. Climbing rocks and cliffs take skill and endurance. In case you were thinking about taking up rock climbing, a listing of the necessary equipment is outlined below.

Shoes: You can't wear your everyday hiking boots to climb a rock. Your shoe should be stiff and fit like a glove. Snug but not too tight. Because comfort is a concern, it's best not to mail order shoes for rock climbing, you'll definitely want to try them on first.

Harness: A harness is worn for safety and attaches to a rope so you won't fall off the rock. Your sales associate will help you find a harness that fits properly, but you'll want to be sure the harness fits comfortably around your thighs and waist.

Basic Rock Climbing Gear

Carbiners: These are actually hooks. You'll use these to attach different items to your harness.

Helmet: This very important piece of rock climbing equipment will protect your head from falling debris. It will also guard you against bumps and bruises if you should happen to bang against a wall. This may in fact, be the most important piece of rock climbing equipment you own. Make sure you try on your helmet prior to purchasing and that it fits comfortably.

Chalk: Rubbed on your hands, chalk will help you grip rocks. Comes in powdered or ball form.

Chalk Bag: Holds chalk and attaches to your harness.

Rope: Rope should be 10 or 11 millimeters in diameter and 50 to 60 meters long and should be able to stretch a bit under tension to protect a climber in the event of a fall.

Belay Device: This is used to hold a climber's rope. It helps the belayer protect the climber.

If you're interested in rock climbing but don't know where to start, be sure to do your research. Not only are there plenty of books available, but there are articles all over the internet. It's strongly urged that you take lessons with an experienced instructor. If you're unsure of the proper equipment, your instructor or experienced sales person can help you with this. It's better to pay extra money to ensure safety than get seriously injured or worse because you don't know what you're doing.

The Connection Between Technology And Childhood Obesity

Today, it is hard to imagine life without a computer or television and other electronic gadgets that have become so commonplace since the advent of modern technology that it is leaving us and our children with little time to enjoy nature and the outdoors. Not so long ago, parents derived much pleasure from seeing their kids cavorting in the outdoors beneath the sun or climbing trees and remaining somewhat more active than the kids of today who have found a virtual world in which to remain engrossed. Thus, technology and childhood obesity are closely related because we have now become accustomed to having our eyes glued to the computer screen or television screen and are otherwise taken up with different forms of electronic entertainment.

Boob-Tube And More Boob-Tube

The new lifestyle that has taken over our children's lives leaves little time for them to exercise, go out and remain otherwise active and it is far removed from the lifestyle our parents enjoyed many years ago. Along with the sedentary life that our children have become accustomed to, technology and childhood obesity have become closely intertwined and our concern for our health has also taken a backseat as the life in front of the boob-tube continues to take up all of our children's time at the expense of their health.

The Connection Between Technology And Childhood Obesity

It is thus imperative to understand the reason why technology and childhood obesity are going hand in hand, and when one considers the fact that child obesity has gone up by more than three times in the recent past, the problem has actually now reached epidemic proportions and it seems that now we are breeding obesity in our homes as we are letting our children spend all of their time in front of the television or other electronic devices.

The fact is that when we and our children sit immobile for hours on end watching television or working on the computer or playing video games, we neglect to exercise and along with a diet consisting of sodas and fast foods are breeding obesity like never before. Thus, technology and childhood obesity are causing our children to eat more, exercise less and live sedentary lifestyles which is a cocktail that only serves up more obese children in our population today.

No doubt, there are a number of other factors too that contribute to obesity, but television is a prime example of how technology and childhood obesity combine to the detriment of our health. Staying glued to the television will mean a lack of exercise, focusing on excessive eating followed by an unhealthy lifestyle and thus contributing to furthering the incidence of obesity in our children.

Television and the computer are prime examples of how technology and childhood obesity are making kids do things that are bad for them and if you want your kid to not become obese, you should discourage him from watching too much television, which is a major reason why children become obese, and to also address obesity as a health problem which needs to be addressed and not to consider obesity as merely being a problem with how the child looks.

History of Rock Climbing

The history of rock climbing dates back to the late 19th century. Although Colorado was home for the earliest rock climbers, the place became popular for rock climbing only by the turn of the 20th century.

Rock climbing was earlier seen as a part of mountaineering; mountaineers indulged in rock climbing in preparation for a climbing expedition. Early climbers in Germany and Great Britain were passionate about this sport and set remarkable standards of rock climbing. By the 1920's, rock climbing started gaining a foothold in the United States.

Aid climbing and free climbing are two traditional climbing methods. Aid climbing involves the use of climbing equipment whereas free climbing depends only on the ability, skill, and physical strength of the climber. During the early days, free climbing was the only method of rock climbing. Early explorers used climbing equipment only if they were unable to advance even beyond a hard move.

History of Rock Climbing

During the mid-1960's, American climbers found that the piton used in aid climbing considerably damaged the rocks. This led to the invention of slinging machine nuts, an alternative for the piton. The tradition of combining the free and aid methods began in the early 1980's in France. This combination method minimized the level of difficulty for the climbers, thus improving their style of climbing.

The United States was the leader in rock climbing throughout the '60s and '70s, with a number of dedicated climbers working to improve the climbing techniques. Rock climbing was declared as a sport only recently. Compared to traditional rock climbing, this sport makes use of the most advanced rock climbing equipment today. With growing interest in the sport, climbers chose to do harder free routes and harder individual moves. In the 1980s, the trend was to undertake short but difficult climbs. Development of climbing as a sport resulted in the invention of new safety gear to ensure the safety of the climbers. With the introduction of indoor walls, rock climbing techniques can now be practiced without venturing into the hostile terrain outside.
