 Monoprice MHD Action Camera

Price:$ 87.32

The Monoprice MHD Action Camera is an affordable, easy-to-use waterproof POV camera with a good assortment of available mounts as well as a built-in standard quarter-inch tripod mount.

 Its MHD Action Camera is one of the least expensive POV cameras available that records in 1080p, coming in at less than $100.

    Design and features

   Like the Ion camera, the body of the MHD vibrates to let you know when you've started and stopped recordings or taken a photo. Also, all of the MHD's ports and its microSDHC card slot are located at the back under a locking twist-on waterproof cap. While the Ion uses the same cap design, what's underneath is slightly different.

The MHD you'll find a Micro-HDMI and a Mini-USB port, a microSDHC card slot, a switch for changing video resolution (1080p or 720p, each at 30 frames per second), and a reset button. You get essentially the same things on the Ion with one big exception: a cavity for Ion's Podz system, which lets you add things like Wi-Fi or a wireless remote control.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Convertible!!!!!!!

 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Being a Roadster, the two-seater SL features a convertible top. And being a Mercedes-Benz, that convertible top is a power-retractable hard number that lowers in a fit of robotic ballet in about 6 seconds. Top-down storage space is limited by a cover that prevents the cargo from interfering with the operation of the roof, but there's still space for a pair of carry-on bags and a few odds and ends beneath the power-lift and closed trunklid. With the top up, that cover can be shifted out of the way to increase storage space, but you won't be able to drop the top until it is replaced. Even getting into the trunk with the top down is a dramatic affair, requiring that the trunklid lift and then the folded roof and rear glass panels be automatically lifted out of the way. Finally, the storage compartment cover must be lifted, manually, out of the way before you're given access to the trunk. That's a lot of moving parts just to toss your gym bag in the boot, but these steps are necessary for that increased top-up cargo space.

The SL Roadster comes packed with a number of features that make open-air motoring a pleasant experience, even during one of San Francisco's chilly, foggy mornings. A motorized windscreen can be raised to reduce buffeting at freeway speeds; Mercedes' Air Scarf system blows warm air onto the passengers' necks from the headrests to cut the chill; the automatic climate controls adjust automatically for top-down motoring; and heated and ventilated seating surfaces gently warm or cool your bottom and back. With the side windows and windscreen up and the Air Scarf and heated seats keeping me toasty, there's no situation short of snow or rain that could convince me not to take a moment and drop the top. Wind noise is so low that I was able to have a conversation with my passenger or make a hands-free call without shouting. Factor in four-level seat massage motors and driving the SL550 with the adaptive cruise control set to 85 mph is downright relaxing. Hopefully, not so relaxing that you doze off, or the Attention Assist drowsiness detection system will start beeping at you.

Under the SL's hood hums a 4.6-liter V-8 biturbo engine that's as much a work of art as the chassis. Direct-injection technology, a defeatable autostop feature, and an Econ shift program on the seven-speed automatic transmission help this mill to average 16 mpg in the city, 24 mpg on the highway, and 19 mpg according to EPA's combined calculations. These aren't great numbers compared with your average passenger car. this machine has 429 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.

The autostop system would shut down the engine at stop signs and traffic lights once the engine had been sufficiently warmed up. I didn't find the system to be tremendously intrusive during those moments when I was coming to a complete stop, such as at an intersection. However, when it started kicking in during stop-and-go traffic. The SL550 also features a manual shift mode actuated by steering-wheel paddles, but I found timing the shifts of the conventional manual transmission tricky and elected to let the Sport program do the thinking for me.

Smartwatches!

Why wear a smartwatch? Smartwatches are a sort of mini tech trend of the moment,  buy any of these, unless they're early-adopter watch fetishists. The smartwatches of today have a muddy mix of good, bad, and flat-out ugly features. At best, they're quirky and stylish. At worst, they're hobbled with short battery life or don't work at all. So you can download apps and basically it is all yours like a iPod on your hand.Good thing,it has water-resistant up to 5 ATM, its a  simple design, and it is a reasonable price. It has a long life battery , all you need to do us recharge it.

Over my spring break i spent my time helping my dad at his car dealer, basically worked the whole week. I opened up with my dad and ran my job. This week was a fast , but a busy week. I had fixed several cars that customers had bought and had trouble with. When it was slow i was making before and after videos of the bodyshop pictures.This week was a fun week but a hard working week. But the outcome was my Dad saying"Thanks Fady" I also helped take pictures for our  Quality Auto Center website.

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK350

 This is the  closest car that to a wagon version of the C350 sport sedan.

The GLK's 178.3-inch-overall length, 108.5-inch-wheelbase, and front and rear track are actual slightly smaller than the C-Class' measurements. The crossover is still wider by about 5 inches and taller by  10 inches than the sedan and the whole package is at least 463 pounds heavier depending on options. the 4Matic all-wheel-drive-equipped tester was probably slightly heavier. it has more cargo room  the a c class and any other benz, but still has more passenger room, and a higher, more commanding view of the road. Under the GLK's hood and you'll find the same 3.5-liter V-6 engine as a c350. it has an output of 302 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. but a $2,000 4Matic (all-wheel-drive package) which  splits power between the front and rear wheels. There's also an Eco Start-Stop system system present on the GLK350 that will shut down the engine when the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent wasting fuel while idling. During my driving time, the system only seemed to activate when the engine was sufficiently warmed up, and the restart was smooth and effortless under most conditions. When restarting after sitting at a traffic light or stop sign, the engine would fire up in the time it took my right foot to ease from the brake to gas pedal and acceleration would resume without a hiccup.  price -$39,090.00

2013 BMW X6 xDrive35i 3-8-13

2013 BMW X6 xDrive35i

The X6  coupe like roof line -- literally the only visible thing differentiating it from the X5 -- BMW has also given the SUV poor visibility through the gun-slit rear window, which terminates about 4 feet off of the ground and nearly a foot ahead of the high rear bumper, making parking extremely difficult. The blind spots at the rear quarters are big enough to hide a beige 1998 Toyota Camry in -- , but two over-the-shoulder and mirror checks. If BMW insists on building a car with such heinous behind-the-driver visibility, the optional rear camera should be standard, but isn't. And blind-spot monitoring isn't even available as an option on the X6. However, a sonar-based parking-distance controller is standard, displaying a graphical heat map of proximity to obstructions on the standard LCD.The X6 has dramatically less rear-seat headroom than the X5, and total storage space behind the front seats is also down. There's still space enough to toss a bike back there without removing the front wheel, if you don't mind laying it on its side. But two bikes are out of the question. Combine that with the high load-in height and the awkward shape of the storage area and the X6 becomes the perfect SUV for people who don't want to help their friends move.

Its a  turbocharged V-6 

Here you'll find the X6 xDrive35i's power plant: a 3.0-liter, direct-injected V-6 that is force-fed air via twin-scroll turbocharger. Output is rated at 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, which flows through a standard eight-speed automatic transmission and onward through the standard x Drive all-wheel drive system, which is the only drive train configuration offered for the X6. The x Drive35i is just the entry point for the X6. BMW also offers twin-turbocharged V-8 engines that output 400 horsepower and an excessive 555 horsepower in the X6 x Drive50i and X6 M, respectively. However, the 300 horsepower is nothing to sniff at. The 4,784-pound SUV is adequately powered and never feels strained when accelerating.The eight-speed gearbox mostly stays out of its own way. The bit of lag that you'll get in its normal Drive mode being par for the course, it's no more offensive than in any other slush box we've tested. Slap the unconventional shift lever into its Sport setting and the X6 will throttle-blip and downshift as you decelerate in anticipation of a corner and hold each gear longer. You can also grab your own gears with the paddle shifters, but outside of passing maneuvers. Turbo lag, thankfully, is never an issue thanks to the twin-scroll technology at work behind the scenes. 0-60 in 6.5 sec.         more pics                                                        video

2013 BMW 750li 3-1-13

BMW has came out with the new 2013 Bmw 750Li  It has  16 speakers.which gives it a nice sound  system. Feeding it a variety of music, mostly from a USB drive plugged into the car's single USB port. It has a heavy bass pummeled my body without shaking interior panels and percussion instruments came through with crisp, clear beats. It you really love music, this system proves its worth. Engine wise it has the  combination of the turbocharged with  direct-injected 4.4-liter V-8 and a eight-speed automatic transmission. The idle-stop feature, which shuts down the engine during traffic stops, but it is easily switched off and makes for an essential part of BMW's fuel efficiency strategy. This  car uses a camera to recognize speed limit signs along the side of the road to get its data. Many times while I was in the car, the camera showed the limit from the last sign it had seen, even though I knew the limit on the current road was higher. Speed limit data is available on the digital maps used for navigation, and BMW should simply rely on that, at least in the U.S. the navigation system is different but in a good way when you turn-by-turn guidance was easy with the car's voice prompts, which named the streets on which I needed to turn, and the head-up display, showing upcoming turns and even lane guidance for freeway junctions.The 750Li kept all the good things about BMW navigation. It offered many different map views, and rendered city buildings in detailed 3D. Using traffic data, it proactively rerouted me when there was a traffic jam up ahead.This car is worth $90,500.00!!!!!!!!!

Do Now 2/19 fady

When would the class meet, what would the students do? What would it look like, feel like, sound like?  And what would the students produce to show their learning?

         If i was a teacher, i would make  a class where students would learn how to create games, photograph class, learn how to edit pictures, create apps, and also learn how to create websites. This class would meet before or after lunch which would be around 11:15, or after lunch which would be 12:55. I picked before lunch because students would be active, and after lunch would be good because students would be wakened up and active, ready to work. The class would have a Smart bored, it would have a section for photograph, it would have tripods, a green screen. The rest of the room would basically be filled up of technologically, iPads, Macs, Dell desktops , etc... The class would feel like if your sitting in a white house, somewhere relaxing. it would sound like fans from the desktops. For students to show what they learned they would create something for the class and present it. For example if  you took photograph that would also include picture editing, so you would be responsible to take pictures and change them around do some editing on them, use Photoshop.If you joined a class to create websites, apps etc.. you would create apps.

           The charging accessory, available in the Google Play store, resembles a sheared-off Nexus Q and costs $59.99. Google's wireless charger, like most, relies on the Qi protocol of inductive charging. The upshot is that the charger will be able to power other smartphones using the same standard.
