Will a K&N box air filter make a louder noise when revving?

I am close to the time of routine maintenance for my car, 1998 nissan maxima v6 stick, and I am thinking of finally getting a K&N air box filter. I don't want to get a cone filter because I am hearing MANY different pros and mostly cons about it. Any changes in putting in an K&N air box filter such as louder noise when revving? Just wondering. Thanks

No. The K&N panel air filter offers maximum airflow with excellent filtration, but it will not affect the sound of the engine when the throttle is open. I don't know why the conical filters from K&N get such a bad review, considering that conical filters are superior to panel filters as far as airflow goes. A K&N panel filter offers about 400cfm, where a K&N offers about 750cfm.

The only disadvantage I can think of is that a lot of times, the stock air box can't be used with a conical type air filter. Even conical air filters won't change the sound of the engine, unless the filter is really close to the throttle body. The only conical filter that DOES change the sound is the RR-3003 inverted cone type air filter. I have that one, and it only gives a performance whooshing sound when it's sucks in air at open throttle.

By the way, if you're interested in changing your air intake setup to a conical type filter, I would highly recommend the ebay seller "chromeintakes", but if you want to stay stock, I would recommend the K&N panel air filter.

(Plan your next great adventure by virtual travelling in the comfort of your home. The voyager can pick a boarding pass through crystal clear video with DVD quality to the world at large from Mexico City to London, Australia to South Africa, coast to coast through the USA, etc..)

The years had passed by and both my wife and I had reached the golden age where the love of travel slowly diminished from our minds. Later in our retiring years we liked travelling to a destination or two with other retired folk; it was lots of fun and many a long friendship was made. Yet we found that travelling today was quite tiring, irritating through the new security arrangements, and our weak body functions could not cope with the travelling of the day.

Yet we found a way to continue our love of travelling through travel videos. We found that is was fun in planning a vacation to certain destinations, reliving a memorable trip, enjoying the scenic view and taking an interest in historical sites: Through the videos we experienced the world of nature, the cultures of different ethnic peoples and in the wonders of the world, all from the comfort of our home.

We captured the thrills as we toured exotic locations with an intimate portrayal of foreign lands and the lifestyles of the people living in this vast world of ours. Like actual travellers we shared our trips with friends of our age and we shared with each other the interesting and scenic places where we have been in our virtual travelling. Within a short space of time we formed a virtual traveller gathering and we would meet at regular intervals at each other’s homes and watch with interest and enjoyment the location where we or our friends wanted to travel by video.

***

So relax in the comfort of an armchair with your friends, enjoy a glass of lemon tea of aromatic coffee, sit back and prepare to speed-dial your travel agent, as you take your virtual stroll. Then board together for your flight from one city to another, to an exotic land, to enjoy with interest the customs of various cultures, or simply take a virtual tour through a museum or art gallery.

Fake Security Cameras! - Do They Provide The Due Security?

You hear about it all the time - people bragging about the fake security camera that saved a bundle as does the work of a good home security system. Well, think again. The myth of fake security cameras should be shattered once and for all.

The truth is that cameras do not prevent crime. The fear of getting caught prevents crime. Security cameras are useful to identify and catch criminals, not to frighten them away. A fake security camera provides nothing but a false sense of security. It certainly can't help law enforcement arrest and prosecute someone one's who's violated your privacy, property, and possessions!

A good home security system that uses cameras uses HIDDEN cameras that can't be tampered with or blocked. Fake security cameras are easy to identify because they're out in the open. The bottom line: fake security cameras are a waste of good money.

In fact, most would-be criminals don't care about security cameras. They know it's easy to change identifying clothing or use masks. They know not to look at the security camera and to hide their face from easy view. They also know about the significant time gap between the crime and the response. They'll have time to get away and change clothes before the police show up. So cameras, whether real or fake, are not the important assets for a security system. Fake cameras are about as good as a stand-up picture of a cop!

If you've been thinking about using fake cameras to help protect your home or business, it's time to revise your plan. Functional cameras are inexpensive and easy to install. Connecting them to a video monitor and VCR to record crimes when they happen is the best way to assure the criminal gets caught. Especially when you consider that a fake security camera is a waste of money in the first place, it's well worth the expense to set up a real security system with real security cameras.

There is one situation in which a fake camera may influence or deter crime - crimes of opportunity like shop-lifting. These impromptu crimes are usually committed by inexperienced wanna' be thieves. They don't understand the way security systems work, and the believe a camera is a sure way to get caught and end in jail. So, a fake security camera may prevent petty crimes. But is it worth the risk?

Our advice is to truly protect your person and property by using reliable common-sense security measures and real security systems for your home or business. Fake security cameras may sound like a good idea, but criminals know better. The false security of a fake security camera is very false. It may make you overly-confident and open your home or business to tragedy.

No matter how realistic or expensive a fake security looks, it is still a fake camera. The truth is, you get what you pay for. If you think you can save a bundle by using a fake security camera, you're likely to lose a bundle when you get robbed. It won't deter anyone but the bothersome petty thief, it won't help catch or prosecute real criminals, and it most certainly won't substitute for a real business or home security system.

Creating a Laminated ID Badge

Id badges and passes are important for school, office and event use. Id tags may include name, title, photo and information about the access level of the person. Laminated badges look great and are protected from wear and tear damage. Creating laminated ID tags are easy to make with a few supplies.

First you will want to select the size of your badges. You can buy perforated paper to print badges on or print on standard card stock and cut to size using a paper cutting machine. One standard size option is to print business card size ids and laminate with a luggage tag or vertical id tag pouch that is pre punched for your lanyard or badge clip, but any size badge can be made. Determine what contents needs to be included on the ID and how prominent the badge must be. You may want a large badge or one that will fit into a person's wallet or pocket. Before printing, its best to look at standard size laminating pouches to avoid additional costs in customized pouches. You will want to get a pouch that is about 1/4" wider and longer than your card. Laminating pouches can be purchased pre punched in certain sizes or can be punched using an oval slot punch intended to punch a hole perfect for use with lanyards and clips. When selecting your pouches, you will also need to choose a mil thickness. Most card size pouches are available in 5mil, 7mil and 10 mil. Thicker pouches will be sturdier and last longer. If your id badges are for a weekend event, a 5 mil pouch may be appropriate. If you are laminating annual id badges for employees to wear daily, a 10 mil pouch is recommended.

If your ID will be displayed on the employee, visitor or attendee then you will want to select badge clips for clipping the ID onto pocket or collar or select a lanyard for hanging from the neck. If you purchase a non punched pouch you will need to punch the ID card to allow the badge clips and lanyards. It's best to select a quality punch, as cheap versions get dull easy and perform badly.

If you need to also select a laminating machine for you id cards there are a couple important factors to consider. Besides the obvious points of choosing a machine that will last, size is an important factor. There are many ID laminating machines on the market that are 3"-4" wide. If you will use your laminating machine soley for laminating id tags, this may be an option for you but is probably not the best investment. First, a larger sheet size laminating machine normally costs only slightly more than a card size machine. A larger machine can also laminate more than one id at a time, placing 4 card size pouches into a laminating carrier will substantially reduce the time required for lamination. Lastly, a larger machine is more versatile and allows for the laminating of larger documents in addition to small, card size pouches. Some laminating machines are limited to 7 mil thick pouches or thinner, so be sure to find a laminator that can handle the pouch thickness you select for your id badges.

Yes, you can, but you will need to also purchase either an AV to USB converter or an AV to VGA Out converter. To get your cameras online, simply setup the cameras, use one of the converters mentioned above to connect the wireless receiver to an internet capable computer, and install web camera broadcasting software such as Webcam XP or Xray Vision. This kind of software allows the computer connected to the receiver to host the feed from the cameras on the internet. Then from your home (or anywhere else in the world), you can go online, type in the IP address of the computer that is connected to the receiver, and access the live feed from the cameras. This process is slightly easier with our IP Surveillance Camera with Angle Control and USB Webcam Server (TX-IP001), which does not require a converter and comes with the necessary software.

Development of Portable media players

Portable media players are known as a consumer electronics device that is capable of storing and playing digital medias. Also digital audio players (DAP) can also display images and play videos are PMPs like DAPs, the data is typically stored on a hard drive, microdrive, and flash memory. Other types of electronic devices like cellphones are referred as PMPs due to their playback capabilities. Users can also consider an iPod as a portable media players designed and marketed by Apple, launched in 2001.

Portable media players are usually packaged with an installation CD and DVD that inserts device drivers, and in few players, software that is capable of seamlessly transferring files between the player and the computer. For latest portable media players,user can avail through online via the manufacturers' websites or natively recognized by the operating system through Universal Mass Storage (UMS) or Media Transfer Protocol (MTP).  Unlike DAPs, PMPs come in either flash or hard disk storage in the market. Based on these portable media players, the storage capacities have been reached up to 64GB for flash memory. Firstly reached by the 3rd Generation iPod Touch, and up to 500 GB for Hard disk drive PMPs, and then first achieved by the Archos 5 Internet Tablet.  Now many players support memory card slots which includes CompactFlash (CF), Secure Digital (SD), and Memory Sticks. And these are used to directly transfer content from external devices, and expanding the storage capacity of PMPs for usage. Certain portable media players have recently added features like simple camera, built in game emulation, and simple text readers and editors. All these specifications of portable media players are highly important to know. You can visit online shops to know the latest updates of portable media players for future benefits.

The Desktop Pc

Through the 1980s sales boomed and people became extremely excited about this new revolutionary technology. However, the Desktop computer really came into its own in the mid-1990s, with Internet boom. Since then there has been no looking back as the world embraced this multifunctional machine.

A Short History

Many corporations sensed that Information Technology was going to revolutionise how we work, how we think and how we live. There were many early players in the Desktop PC market. Hewlett Packard introduced a high-end programmable calculator which included a keyboard, a basic Operating System, a display unit and a cassette drive. At the same time, similar products were introduced by IBM, Wang and Tektronix. These basic models soon evolved into business computers.

The year 1975 saw the first pre-assembled desktop computer to become available in the market. This was the MITS Altair 8800, which because of its less than professional appeal didn’t quite take off. It was in 1977 that three breakthrough models, the Apple II, the Commodore PET and the Tandy TRS-80, made an impact.

The Modern Desktop Computer

Today, we take the Desktop Computer for granted. It is part of nearly every aspect of our life and defines how we live. This wonder machine is comprised of a Display Unit, Motherboard, Central Processing Unit (CPU), RAM (Primary Storage), Expansion Cards, Power Supply, Optical Disk Drive, Hard Disk Drive (Secondary Storage), Keyboard and Mouse.

The Desktop PC can be defined as a general purpose tool whose functioning revolves around a microprocessor. The different parts work in tandem to give us a multi-functional machine which we can use to type documents, store data, browse the Internet, communicate via e-mail, play games etc.

How It Works

The brain of the computer is the central processing unit. The functioning of the computer is overseen and monitored by this CPU. Storage of data is an integral part of a computer. It is essential that this memory is fast and efficient. A computer is comprised of several specific types of memory.

The Random Access Memory, commonly known as RAM, is the primary storage medium. It is used to temporarily store current information. Read Only Memory or ROM holds information permanently and consists of data that has been completed and not being worked on currently. Further, there are the Basic input/output system or BIOS, and Caching and Virtual Memory which are available on the hard disk. Desktop computers commonly contain one or more hard disk drives. All these memory devices, work together, to help us use the computer for various uses.

The Hard Disk plays a central role in a desktop computer and is the main storage medium. If the hard disk functions smoothly, it usually translates into the smooth running of the desktop computer. It is, however, a finely put together device and the slightest error or scratch can result in a head crash. This means we could lose the data stored on the hard drive. These hard drives typically have a shelf life of 3 years after which it is advisable to change it.

Transferring Data

Data stored on one desktop computer is usually transferred to another computer by using an external storage device. If a computer is connected along with other computers to a mainframe, then one can share information by storing data on the main server. Data can also be shared from one computer to another via the Internet.

There are several external storage devices available that complement the data stored on the hard drive. They act as backup storage devices and unlike the hard drive are portable in nature.

Safety Issues

The data stored on a desktop computer is as susceptible to data loss, as any other computer. Data loss can happen due to a variety of reasons like hard disk crash, virus attacks, natural disasters and data theft. Backing up data on external devices is imperative as a solution to data loss. The best way to counter data theft from a desktop is to have encrypted passwords.

Conclusion

While laptops are becoming increasingly popular, they have yet to take the place of the ubiquitous Desktop PC. So popular is the desktop computer that it is almost considered a necessity in the modern world. It is a one-stop point for work, information and entertainment and is, indeed, a thing of wonder.

Managing Your Business Credit Cards Online

British business has changed in the last few years, becoming part of the online revolution and the advent of E-business and Internet financial management. The high street has been the real victim in this groundshift towards more virtual business and despite the continuing worry about recession, financial downturns and the ongoing 'credit crunch' businesses have seen their markets expand globally, thanks to the relentless march of cyberspace. Banking hasn't been left behind either, and it's now rare to find any financial institution that doesn't offer an online banking service. This can only be of benefit, both to customers and to businesses alike.

The original thinking behind online financial management was more environmentally altruistic, as it was seen as a means to remove the 'paper-based' system of old. The public was initially reluctant to become part of this revolution, their concerns fuelled by reports of identity theft, online credit card scams and other cybercrimes. Better security systems have replaced the first generation protocols and using the Internet is now a safe and secure method of managing your finances for both personal and business customers. Small and medium sized companies (SMEs) have particularly benefited from a more modern approach to doing business online.

Business credit cards have proven to be a perennially popular way of giving SMEs an additional source of funding, with 23%* of business owners using them to inject additional capital into their companies. The flexibility of an online credit card management strategy has made it even easier to keep a close eye on the day to day finances of a business, as online management gives a real-time snapshot of the company's transactions and expenditure 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Traditionally, a business credit card user would have to wait for the monthly statement to assess how the cards were being used. If an overspend had occurred, it was too late to prevent it escalating. With online banking a card owner can put a stop to any overspend before it happens, making the overall financial position of the company that little bit more secure. This is particularly important where there are multiple users on a single account, and pre-set spending limits also makes this a more controllable system of financial management.

Using an online financial management system incorporating business credit cards can also give businesses an outline of their average expenditure as projected throughout the year. It means that if a business owner notices an increase in travel costs for example, restraints can be put in place to curb overspends before they occur. Some business credit cards offer 'reward schemes' as part of their package, and these can be utilised to make further savings for the business, particularly in travel and accommodation expenses. This ability to be able to not only control immediate spending but to forecast potential costs throughout the year can potentially prevent a company nose-diving towards collapse as a result of overspend.

Time management is a vital factor for any business, and online business credit card management can help here as well. The time spent gathering in and sorting through receipts and separate paper statements can cost a company money, especially if they employ an external accounting service. Online management gives a business owner the chance to stay on top of the paperwork quickly and easily, reducing the time (and money) spent on bookkeeping and other administration. A clear breakdown of any transactions can be printed out at any time. It also enables a business to keep a close eye on payments to suppliers, ensuring that deadlines on invoices are met and keeping vital lines of credit open to the business.

The evolution of E-business and its resultant online financial management systems is making the way UK PLC does business more dynamic and controllable. In a global marketplace that never sleeps, having access to your financial information at any time of the day or night could mean the difference between your business keeping up with competitors or going to the wall. Any weapon in such a competitive marketplace needs to be utilised, and online management of business credit cards can leave business owners with more time to focus on the important aspects of their business - bringing in new customers or developing new products or services. It also gives them the peace of mind that, at the click of a button, they are in complete control of their business finances.

Canon 5d Mark II Reviewed by Extreme Nature Photographer Forestwander

Canon 5d Mark II Review

I started out in photography using a canon powershot A50. I had bought the camera in 2000 because that is when my first son was born. I did not want to miss anything as  he grew up and I had never owned a camera before. I had heard of digital cameras but had not really ever used one. This canon powershot A50 was a 1 mega pixel camera  that had some neat features for the cameras at this time. No video or anything like that but I learned to use some of the features of the camera fairly easily. It was  quite expensive for my wife and I to buy this camera as it was around $250 and when you have just been married a few years and have a new baby that is a lot of money.

This camera lasted until my son was about 5 years old. I had began taking him fishing and hiking places with me and we took pictures along the way when we would go  hiking. So we decided one fall in 2005 to go hiking and exploring in the mountains of West Virginia, when I say mountains I mean the Monongahela forest. There were so  many areas to see and I was not sure really where to begin so we started at the falls of hills creek and immediately I knew that I was in love with nature photography  and particularly waterfall nature photography. We eventually made our way up to the Seneca rock area of the northern Monongahela forest and took a tour of Seneca  caverns, which was a great place to visit and a got a few pictures inside the caverns of bats and various rock formations. However, when we left I set my camera on top  of the car and was getting our things arranged in the car preparing for our drive and inadvertently left the camera on top of the care. We started down the road and  after about half of a mile I heard something go tumbling down the back of the car window. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw my $250 camera bouncing up and down on  the road and pieces fly all over. This was very disheartening as we had planned to continue to spruce knob West Virginia which is the highest point in the state.

I managed to gather the pieces of my canon powershot A50 from off the road and made up my mind that we were not going to get any more pictures on our trip. This was  pretty disappointing but I convinced myself that the trip was not about pictures but rather about my boy and his daddy spending time together. So we continued on to  Spruce Knob and while up there I decided to look at the camera and see if it could be used even though it was in a bunch of pieces. I began getting the pieces together  and believe it or not managed to get the camera to turn on by rigging the switch for the flash card door. Even though the LCD was cracked in many places it actually  came on and I actually was able to take pictures with this camera that was stuck together literally with a couple small sticks and some tape. From this point forward  not only did I realize that I loved nature photography but that Canon was the best camera I could have.

Once I began too look at other waterfall nature photos on the internet, I began to hunger for a new camera. I thought that I must be able to figure out how they made  the waterfalls look so smooth and silky. This gave me the unction to save up and buy a new Canon Rebel 350D in early 2006. This camera was in my opinion the best camera  I could have, although many others were much more expensive and had many more features, this was the first SLR I had ever held in my hand. I learned the different  settings and was amazed at what aperture and exposure time could do to the look of a waterfall or stream. This is when Forestwander Free Nature Picture Photography was  inspired one day walking home from work singing the gospel song "How Great Thou Art".

After I had obtained a better camera I realized that the look and sharpness of a digital image did not depend solely on the body of a camera but largely depended on the  quality of the lens. This is when I became determined to get a better fixed focal length lens and realized the difference in a quality lens and a cheaper zoom lens. I  wondered can photography get any better and if so what would it take to make the very best images. Although I lacked the funding to obtain a high quality professional  full frame digital camera I had the passion to still explore and take more and more pictures refining my skills and beginning to document each expedition in greater  detail. I knew that I needed to begin capturing our hiking adventures on video but did not want to lug around a camcorder.

In 2007 we obtained a new Canon G9 which combined a high quality point and shoot lens with the latest technology video and audio capture built right into a very small  camera. This camera had the best of both worlds and allowed us to hike and take great wildlife shots and even great macro floral photography. This is when I learned  that RAW image format was the best way to shoot so that I could manipulate the exposure and color in post processing. Wow! I had thought jpeg was great until I  experienced the benefits of salvaging typically unusable images by processing them with Canon photo professional. The Canon G9 really is a great little camera but it  lacked the super sharp detail and range that my Digital Rebel 350D could attain. For the next two years I imagined how convenient it would be to be able to hike and  take great quality SLR images as well as take nature adventure video at the same time with the same camera.

One day in late 2008 I read about new model Canon that was going to be released and that this camera would combine super quality 21 mega pixel full frame Canon  technology with not only high resolution video, but HD 1080p quality video. I said to myself no doubt this camera would be far beyond my reach and must certainly cost  $5,000 or more. However, I learned that this new camera could be purchased for a little under $3,500 with a high quality low aperture f4 zoom lens that also sports  moisture resistant weather seals. This was without a doubt the answer to all of my needs and wants as a novice adventure nature photographer. After several months of  saving a planning I was blessed with a new Canon 5D Mark II and accompanying 24-105mm F4 zoom lens.

I have now been the proud owner of this wonderful camera for almost a year now and am convinced that this camera is all that I will ever need. Even though there may be  newer technologies that come out such as 3 dimensional holographic photography (think I am kidding, watch and see). The Canon 5D Mark II will always be my favorite  camera. This camera marked the camera that brought me into the full frame professional market. This camera takes amazing low light photography at higher ISO settings,  I often take low light photography in the forest and even take some night landscape shots from lofty mountain heights, it is imperative that the noise of these images  is kept to a minimum.

Recently I have learned that I can connect my Canon 5D Mark II to my laptop and store images directly from the camera to my 500 GB hard drive. This gives me hours and  hours of high quality video recording and thousands of 21 MP images. No doubt I have a lot to share with this new camera and I have only began to experience the  wonderful quality this camera provides. So far I have posted at least 100 new 21 MP images on ForestWander and I have to say that they are some of the best images I  have ever taken and they only keep getting better as I learn more about the 5D. The automatic bracketing features are really great and are helping me to experience the  wide range resolution possible with HDR.

The live view function is truly amazing as it allows me to set up my 5D on a tripod close to the ground for a macro shot of a mushroom for instance. It would otherwise  be impossible to focus on a small mushroom very close to the ground while looking through a view finder. Then I can press a button and focus and see the real results  directly on the 3 inch screen. This is not only great for live real-time viewing but it is great for post image viewing, as I can literally zoom in on a particular area  of a high resolution image and verify that it is in perfect focus before I even transfer and process the image on my local laptop. also, the automatic sensor cleaning  system is great for a nature photographer who frequently changes lenses in the field where dust and contaminants are inevitable.

Below I have listed some of the features of the Canon 5d Mark II but do not compare only the specifications to other cameras keep in mind that Canon makes a great  product and that their cameras are rugged, long lasting and even if other specifications on other Cameras that start with an N are slightly higher I will always be a  die hard Canon fan from the real world experiences I have lived through over the past 6 years as an adventure nature photographer.

Versatile Wireless Thermometer

It is important to know what the weather is like, especially what the temperature is outside to decide on what to wear, and inside to determine how warm a home should be for comfort. Technology today allows us to monitor the temperatures of both inside and outside with just one tool and not need to go outside on a cold day with a thermometer to quickly check the temperature. Wireless thermometers are becoming prevalent today and that creates an advantage of not having wires or need for electricity or power outlets. That time saving technology eliminates the need to turn on the TV to check the temperature and take time to find the current reading. A wireless thermometer solves a bunch of problems.

The sensors in the wireless thermometer allow temperature detecting up to 100 feet away from the thermometer. Another great thing about a wireless thermometer is that it converts Fahrenheit to Celsius quickly. That time saving technology eliminates need to use paper, calculator, or a cell phone to guesstimate. A wireless thermometer solves time problems efficiently. Most thermometers can be carried and could be mounted to a wall. A wireless thermometer is the same way, but it can capture two temperature readings.

When you want to know if wearing shorts is an option, or if a jacket should be worn, a wireless thermometer allows you to check out the temperature at the convenience of your warm home. Need to know what temperature is needed for comfort and to keep electric bills down? No problem, a wireless thermometer shows the temperature on a liquid crystal display screen. Four AA batteries allow the thermometer to have the energy to be wireless. Another great thing about the wireless thermometer is that the reading is displayed in numbers, whereas most regular thermometers need to be measured by reading, therefore improving accuracy and precision.
