(My) Travel time by different transport in single trip

This is randomness out of boredom, but if I’m going to write it then it at least be accurate. This is my longest travel time in different transport in single trip from one places to another whether I driving it or not does not matter. Does not count if you stop over and rest in some hotel or motel over night. Will count for re-fueling, resting (such as bathroom break or rest stop), or crossing the border which require to get out of the transport and present all necessary documents to the border people. Transfer into a different transport or similar transport will not count. Whether you in a traffic, or afloat at sea; these still count because you in that transport, while not moving much.

• Vehicle (car and/or truck): ~5 Hours or more
• Bus: ~3 Hour
• Rail (train, subway, and/or any rail transports): ~4 Hour
• Aircraft: ~15 Hour
• Sea Craft: ~1 Hour, ~2 Hour (don't remember)

Airport, I Been To

This is a random stuff of my, which is "airport" I been to, there may be a few airport I forgot to list because it been a long time ago or I was too young to know or I can't think of it on top of my head.

They will be be categorize as:

• Pick Up or Drop Off
• Picking someone up or dropping them off at that airport, you only stay around the entrance area of the airport.

• Arriving or Departure
• You flying in and/or out of that airport, you go through and see most of the airport.

• Transfer
• You fly in only to get on to another plane to fly out at that airport, you stay around the terminal area only.

How to get detail picture of the moon or Night Sky

You often see very nice picture online or in books of the moon with minor moon landscape feature. I don't remember if I stated in the earlier blog when I stated I wanted take picture of the moon. So did some average research both online and offline (books) to find out what I need beside a camera.
The result are the following:

Books Stated:

• DSLR Camera
• Type of Lens (not stated, but most likely telephoto len), They only stated the F-number, and shutter speed. Not very helpful when this is the most important thing

Online Stated:

•  DSLR Camera or Point and Shoot Camera (But no example of Point & Shoot Picture anywhere online or at least not stated)
• Telephoto Lens (I uses 70-300mm telephoto lens, but it seem that I need an even more powerful telephoto lens beyond 300mm which also been stated they [online] used 800mm)

Well, I have nagging feeling that people uses telescope with the right attachment for the camera to mount on instead of telephoto lens to get those nice detail picture of the moon or the night sky. I know that a camera (depend on the camera) can be attach to a telescope (with the right require attachment equipment) but none of the sources from the above research stated this fact. I finally found my answer a few days ago when it was stated in this [Images] description box.

In Conclusion, if you want detail picture of the night sky or the moon uses:

• DSLR Camera with a telephoto lens higher then 300mm or with telescope attachment
• Point & Shoot Camera or Webcam [these are Maybe] with a telescope attachment [these are maybe since they (most of these type of camera) don't often have the right equipment to attach to a telescope] 
• Remember that camera attachment equipment to telescope are sold separately.

Couldn't See the Lunar Eclipse Yesterday (Sept 27, 2015; Local Times)

I couldn't see the lunar eclipse/super moon combo yesterday on Sept 27, 2015 (PST) [Sept 28, 2015 on UTC] due to freaking cloud coverage in my local area before around 6:00 PM PST which lasted until around 9:00 PM PST. Which by then the lunar eclipse is over. This is the last (total) lunar eclipse until 2019 in this part of the world; the lunar eclipse/super moon combo will come back in 2033. I did state I was taking pictures of lunar eclipse in my earlier blog, well I forgot to mention I posted those picture on wikipedia. I only took two picture of the "total" lunar eclipse out of four lunar eclipse that happen on this part of the world. The "2014 Apr 15" I didn't took the picture because I didn't have the camera to take it.

My two picture is in 2014 Oct 08 and 2015 Apr 04 are under the location Santa Clara County, California. I going post my picture for 2015 Sep 28 later of when the moon finally show up but after the full lunar eclipse. It just my luck that there cloud coverage in my local area, well lucky for people who live in the north bay while us south bay get cloud coverage (complain by me)

My Killzone Mercenary future Walkthrough?

Future Killzone Mercenary Walkthrough is on hold because I'm too lazy to write them and I'm playing some other games as well. Well, there probably one contract that I probably can not do and won't write while the rest of the unwritten one some far; I will challenge myself into doing it and then make an easy for even beginner gamer and/or to this game to be able to do it.

After all the Walkthrough that I can do and write, I will then post and link other Walkthrough and/or helpful advise sites and give my opinion how helpful they to experiences (hours played) but not so skilled player.

Noted that most contract mission is doable as long they (the player) played the game long enough to understand the game itself and how to move and shoot.  

Killzone: Mercenary - Mission 4 (Diplomatic Incident): Demolition Contracts (walkthrough)

Contract loadout requirements: VC-G11 Gas, VC39

The mission requirements:

• Kill 10 enemies with gas grenades 
• Kill 30 enemies with VC39 Accelerator Rifle
• Achieve 5 Mercy kills
• Injure 10 enemies

My recommendation to bring along on this contract loadout:

• Van-Guard Systems: Arc Missile

Please note that a Helghast flamethrower trooper cannot be injured in any way beside killing them normally while an officer cannot be "Mercy killed".   
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kill 10 enemies with gas grenades  

There are plenty of enemies on this mission to do this objective; please note that VC-G11 Gas has zero to no affect on helghast flamethrower troops so don't bother try to gas them.     

  

Kill 30 enemies with VC39 Accelerator Rifle

There are plenty enemies on this mission to do this objective.
   

Achieve 5 Mercy kills

Methods and their chances of success (only will happen if the enemy are injured):

• VC-G11: Low Chance even if the enemies is on the outer edge of the gas
  
• Arc Missile: High Chance if it one vs one situation.
• Melee: High Chance (100%), will not get mercy kill from enemy's officer    

      

Injure 10 enemies

 

Methods and their chances of success:

• VC-G11: Average Chance if the enemies is on the outer edge of the gas
  
• Arc Missile: High Chance if it one vs one situation.
• M2 Tranquilizer Pistol: High Chance (100%) if you hit the enemy (will not work on Helghast flamethrower) 
• Average or Low Damaging Gun: A chance if you attack their leg in one vs one situation where you might have more control of how many shot is taken.
