 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.

4-12-13 Smartwatches!

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.

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.
