The NX1000 Mirrorless Wi-Fi Digital Camera with 20-50mm Lens (Black) from Samsung is a more compact, and more affordable alternative to a cumbersome DSLR camera, yet it still offers a lot of quality features you would expect to find in cameras three times its size. Along with the sleek, slim design of the NX1000, you get the creative opportunities that interchangeable lenses afford, plus mega-fine-detailed imagery: with a large (23.5 x 15.7mm), high-resolution APS-C image sensor, the NX1000 captures photos at a vast 20.3 Megapixels. This model comes with a versatile 20-50mm zoom lens and a flash that attaches to the camera's hot shoe.
The lens features Samsung's i-Function technology, which puts a button on the lens that unlocks the manual adjustment of several settings. Choose among shutter speed, aperture, exposure value, white balance, and ISO, and then turn the ring on the lens to adjust your selected parameter. The slim-bodied NX1000 camera has a mount that accepts any of Samsung's NX-mount lenses, a growing family that already offers a wide range of choices.
The NX1000's video system is capable of recording full HD 1920 x 1080 video at 30p. Set at 1280 x 720 resolution, the NX1000 can even capture true slow-motion video.
Having Wi-Fi connectivity in your camera lets you save photos and videos directly to a computer or cloud service while you shoot, email them, print them wirelessly, or upload them straight to Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. You'll never have to worry about losing a great shot, running out of storage space, or remembering to bring the right cable along.
- The NX1000's 20.3 Mp APS-C CMOS sensor offers almost 50% more pixels over its predecessor, to capture much finer detail in images
- The bundled 20-50mm lens zooms 2.5x and offers an aperture range of f/3.5-5.6. The OIS II optical stabilization ameliorates camera shake for any image
- The NX1000 records movies as H.264 files at Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30 progressive frames per second. The camera can also record 720p (1280 x 720) at 60 fps
- The NX1000 fast drive enables the capture of decisive moments at a speed of 8 shots per second and a shutter speed of up to 1/4000th of a second
- The NX1000's bright 3.0" display features a VGA resolution (640 x 480) for 921k dots and a 100% field of view of what the sensor captures
- The APS-C sensor features super-sonic dust reduction to keep it free of dust
- Display options include Grid (four types), Histogram (for checking exposure levels), Icon On/Off, and a Distance Scale that's selectable in feet or meters (or can be turned off)
- For stereo audio capture, left and right microphones are integrated into the camera's top – and separated by a distance that's about equivalent to the diameter of the lens mount. There's also a top-mounted speaker for playback
- The bundled SEF-8A flash (GN8) mounts to the camera's hot shoe. Flipping it up turns it on; flipping it back down turns it off again
- Smart Filter enables access to 10 filters for applying artistic effects in-camera
- The NX1000 can create 3D images (regular or panoramic) without a special lens
- Framing mode auto-gains the brightness of the display in low-light scenes to keep the LCD bright
- Focus Aid shows an on-screen reference for easier manual focusing
- Express your current mood by applying one of 12 included Magic Frames to your photo
- Intelli-Studio 3.0
- Samsung's Intelli-Studio 3.0 requires a computer running Windows XP SP/2, Vista, or 7 for PC computers, and G3, OS X v10.4 or later for Mac computers
- Samsung RAW Converter 4
- Samsung RAW Converter 4 requires a computer running Windows XP SP/2, Vista, or 7 for PC computers, and G3, OS X v10.4 or later for Mac computers

I hear you, and don't disagree. Then there's reality. You think iPad's are made for the Enterprise from a Microsoft Technical Architecture standpoint. And the problem here isn't even "Enterprise" features, it's the non-enterprise usability that attracts Execs. That's just the way it works around here.
*sigh* Maybe you should do some research. The RT is meant for consumers. It's NOT designed for the enterprise in mind. Sure you can use one for business but you don't have full enterprise support (domain add, remote management, etc).
Posted 06 December 2012 - 19:08
Not really, not with executives. They actually want RDP. They've learned their limited apps on the desktop, and want to use that from home, and aren't interested in much else other than using their tablet for "away from office" productivity if you catch my drift. And that's where Surface just isn't up to Apple's standard.
Unfortunately, what executives want, everyone else wants to mimic.
I do believe when Surface Pro is available it will do very well as a laptop alternative. But will do nothing to slow iPad penetration. At least not with upper management.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 19:13
SkyDrive is great, as is the Office 2013 integration. I'm digging that, but it is beside the point.
Zune is what I use to rip CD's. But if you want to Sync content, there's always SkyDrive.
Yes, I think it's fantastic. They want their iPad and demand an RDP app for it as opposed to the Surface. I'll be curious to see how others fare in their environments as far as displacing the infectuous iPad goes.
Isn't there a Remote Desktop app on the WinRT marketplace?
Posted 06 December 2012 - 19:21
Hahah, thank goodness for Lync. And Lync on iPad is actually pretty nice. But I like Lync for Windows 8/RT even better.
I think a lot of people are just fixed on features they don't understand, we get a "half assed music app" because the surface is a computer not a tablet... you aren't syncing it, you are using it as a desktop... we are so used to the iTunes sync music model....
but then I work for a company that has a $50,000 polycom based video conference center that never gets used, and execs are like OMG Facetime is great! I can video chat with clients! *stares at the video conference center we built 3yrs ago* yeah, we had that a long time ago with a production set... to talk to clients and no one touched it....
We'll just give them iPads. Actually they have iPad's, we'll just let them RDP with it. Gotta pick your battles and this just isn't worth it.
Why not back that up to a server and use the Play To feature? Or make the drive a network drive accessible by the Surface tablets?
I feel better. Really, I do. Thank you.
Yes. I think those of us who like Windows 8 recognize that the Metro side still doesn't have the software support it deserves. Understandable for 3rd parties, not understandable for Microsoft applications.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 19:24
I don't know what the deal is with Microsoft lately and all the stupid changes they've been doing but I will tell you this:
I have an iPad 3 and an iMac and I like them both, however, I just got into a Galaxy Note 2 and I think the Google Music app is superior to Apple's alternative because, not only can I listen to my songs on my phone or any other Android device I have, but the simple fact that Google lets you upload up to 20,000 songs for free is amazing. Apple charges $24.99 I believe for iTunes match and Google's alternative is 100% free.
It's really a no brainer as to who gives you more and who has the better service. Microsoft on the other hand is behind in every aspect.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 19:29
The Surface RT isn't even meant for the damn enterprise. That's what the PRO is for.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 20:09
Neither was the iPad yet LCD Execs still approved their purchases...
I don't think the iPad will beat Surface personally, even with its glaring problems simply because its correctable on the device itself. The iPad requires so much more investment on the back end (Citrix) to provide even the most basic of functionality to begin with. And even after all that hassle, it still can't compete with the Surface.
The lack of an official RDP app on iOS doesn't help things either. Sure they work, but you still need a 'touch friendly' TS to realize the full benefits - which many of the 3rd party ones simply don't support well enough from my tests.
I think MS is also in a much better position to exploit enterprise grade apps too, compared to the consumer driven ones.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 20:10
Going to keep this brief.
Executives ramping pressure for iPad's and RDP for iPad after begin given Surfaces.
Syncing music and media between desktop, tablet, and phone, matters. Yes, even in business. Executives do this by the gigs, it's the only technical thing they can do and with the Apple products and iTunes it just works.
Microsoft has left us nothing, we lose. Even though RDP is far superior on Surface, and free.
Does anyone else get it. Am I the only one that sees that releasing Windows 8, Surface, Windows Phone 8, the dysfunctional Music App, and meaningless Windows Phone App, with no single media management hub for music, playlists, videos, ala iTunes is just a disaster?
I hate iPads in the enterprise, but, we lose.

With the Aussie dollar so strong it's been a good time for a while now to go shopping on the net. However, shopping online can be a hazardous business. Here are some tips to playing it safe.
Worldwide sales of semiconductors fell in November to $20.8 billion, a decline of nearly 10 percent from the same period the year before.
The Semiconductor Industry Association said Monday that global sales of chips declined by 2.4 percent in October.
But the Semiconductor Industry Association says it expects chip sales worldwide to resume growth in 2010.
Chip sales rose a healthy 5.9 percent in April, despite a sluggish economy, according to a report by the Semiconductor Industry Association
The two CEOs use the occasion of a joint appearance to call for letting more non-U.S.-born-computer engineers into the country.
Two groups at odds over raising the H-1B quota agree on this: the need for more permanent resident passes for foreigners who earn advanced science and tech degrees on U.S. turf.

She's tried uninstalling & re-installing to see if that will make a difference.
How much of the Facebook data is used when the app is in the background? compared to the foreground?
If the majority of it is in the foreground then its her looking at photos / video i would guess, if its the background its Facebook syncing something.
Mobile data from 1st Dec (when she topped up)...
Foreground: 114MB
Background: 9.90MB
As for over WiFi....
This info help you guys any?
I should point out that while her phone is connected via WiFi at home, she generally uses her Galaxy Tab for the net & Facebook at home.

Was a bit paranoid (pardon the pun) about going to Jellybean as ICS kernels have a bug that could damage the ROM if you did a factory reset, flashed a 'safe' kernel and its been running like a champ, very smooth and not had any stability issues.
hows that coming along?, my notes still at stock ICS and was toying with rooting & Paranoid.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 19:36
Ignoring the last sentence, I would recommend doing the same thing. Not permanently, just short term while you make sure that the application is definitely the culprit. The idea of getting rid of Facebook for good is an individual decision, no one should be telling you that.
Remove facebook from the device for a week and see if it really is the culprit.
ID say remove it for good, best thing I ever did was de-activate my facebook account.
This might be digressing, but I would be interested to hear how much your data plans are going for. 10GB around here aren't exactly cheap, but I would not call them expensive. My job doesn't pay huge amounts and yet I don't mind paying a bit extra for an "unlimited" data plan.
You guys are lucky to have such data plans. Down here they would not be affordable .. 10GB!
Posted 15 December 2012 - 20:19
Posted 15 December 2012 - 20:30
Yeah 114 MB foreground, which means that is data consumed while the app is open with her actively using it, background data is for push notifications etc... So she's on Facebook a lot on her phone by the looks of it. You can't blame the phone for that.
Really, the first round of "delete facebook" "facebook is rubbish" comments i just ignored, but they're coming a bit more frequent now
In short - don't waste your time as these comments don't help. She wont be deleting her facebook account any time soon. You don't like facebook? That's fine. You deleted your account? That's fine. This isn't you though, it's her & she wants to keep hers. End of.
She's tried uninstalling & re-installing to see if that will make a difference.
To answer your question, she doesn't view any videos & doesn't view many photos. She doesn't 'click on' the photos when they're in her news feed as they're generally big enough to see anyway. Here's the figures:

Harman Kardon BDS 800
Eye-catching design and build quality, ease of use, refined sound quality that favours the mid-range, USB media playback support
Not massively dynamic, despite the armoured build, the unit is rather noisy in operation, no 1080/24 video output, no network streaming or 'net radio, does not offer auto speaker calibration
The Home Theatre in a Box (HTIB) business is dominated by brands that build systems to a price, loading them to overflowing with the latest digital doodads. There is, though, a less frenetic high-end to this market, where simple sophistication is valued. It is into this space that Harman Kardon has pitched the BDS 800, a high-end all-in-one 5.1 Blu-ray entertainment package.
The BDS 800 arrives in a huge container; five satellites, a largish subwoofer and the BDS 550 integrated amp/Blu-ray player are packed Russian-doll style inside. It quickly becomes apparent that these are not insubstantial products. Electronics enjoy lavish protection within a heavyweight chassis. All artfully rounded corners and a heavy metal lid, the BDS 550 won't look out of place in a designer pad. The player-cum-digital amp is rated at 65 watts with all channels driven into 6ohms.
There's no loading tray; the unit uses a slot loading mechanism. The volume knob glows like UFO over Nellis, but its intensity is variable. You can also set it to auto-dim. Nearby you'll find a USB input for local media playback.
On the back panel are meaningful gold-plated speaker terminals, Ethernet LAN for BD Live functionality, an HDMI 1.3 output plus auxiliary audio inputs for three digital audio sources and two phono stereo components. Curiously, there's no provision for extra video hardware. You will, however, find a connector for the brand's iPod dock.
The partnered HKTS 60 speaker package is equally impressive. The satellites have a glossy finish and weigh 1.5kg apiece. Each sports dual 75mm flat-panel drivers and a 19mm tweeter. Guillotine-style speaker terminals are provided, disguised by slip on mini-stands. When setting up, one of these terminals sheared through the colour-coded speaker cable supplied, so take care inserting and removing your wires. The SAT TS60 satellites stand 299mm tall on their mini stands. There are wall fixings supplied in the box, should you wish to dot them around a wall-mounted flatpanel TV. The CEN TS60 centre speaker has the same drivers but is designed to sit horizontally. An integrated stand prevents it from rolling over.
The subwoofer itself is a cosmetically matched 200w sealed-enclosure design, with a downward firing 8-inch driver. On its back panel are the usual volume, phase and bass-boost controls.
Once setup, you'll need to balance speaker levels and distances. There are rudimentary controls for this in the BDS 550's Audio Settings menu. Perhaps surprisingly there is no provision for auto calibration; you can't simply insert a supplied mic and let the device balance itself while you grab a cuppa.
While many of this year's mainstream home cinema systems are chasing the fledgling internet-connected market, the BDS 800 is altogether more conventional. Sure there's an Ethernet connection on the back, but it's there for BD Live only. Similarly, there's no DAB or internet radio onboard. However you can warm your hands to steam driven FM radio.
But this system is savvy to the sneakernet. The front mounted USB does a good job playing sound and vision files from a flash drive. MP3, AAC, WMA and WAV audio samples are all supported, as are AVI, MOV and (some) MKVs. SRT subtitles are also recognised.
Video setup is straightforward. There are four video viewing presets (Standard, Vivid, Cinema and Custom), with only routine Brightness, Saturation, Hue, Contrast, Sharpness and CTI controls to fiddle with. This is not a system for tweakers. It's worth noting that there is no support for 1080/24p movie playback. The player defaults to 1080/60. Picture quality is fine within these constraints.
Blu-ray loading speeds are snappy. Even relatively complicated Java heavy discs reached their menus within a minute.
As a hi-fi proposition (CD only, Super Audio CDs are not welcome) the BDS 800 has both strengths and weaknesses. Mozart's Violin Concerto in D major, from 2L's Trondheim Solistene (Blu-ray), suits the system rather well. The system's audio characteristic is refined and a little toppy. By way of contrast, The Big 4 Live from Sofia Bulgaria, featuring Metallica, Slayer, Megadeath and Anthrax (Blu-ray) is a less comfortable fit. The digital amp may have a fair degree of welly and go loud, but it's not massively dynamic.
Movie playback brings a smile to the face. The system's voice-matched speakers contribute considerably to the believability of the surround soundstage, but make sure the subwoofer isn't cranked up high; you don't want it attracting too much attention to itself.
The BDS800 is a stylish, rather than innovative, home-cinema system. We're told Harman Kardon is apparently aiming it at the Bose buyer, and there's no doubt that one of its key attributes is ease of use; playback options for movies and music couldn't be simpler. The remote handset is nicely engineered and has some heft. File playback from USB is also above average, although the lack of networking does seem a missed opportunity.
Harman Kardon's BDS 800 is an elegant toff of a home theatre system. A snap to use, it combines elegant contemporary design with a refined audio performance. If you're more Dire Straits than Muse, and prefer The King's Speech to Inception, it's been designed with you in mind. We rate it a welcome, if undeniably expensive, alternative to the AV system mainstream.

About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Continental Grand Prix 4000 Road Tire:
I bought these expecting awesome things from this tire, but was disappointed. It developed cuts quickly. I had a set of Vittoria tires (can't remember the specific brand) before this that were half the price (though more rolling resistance and therefore slower), but were way more reliable and lasted a lot longer. I think this tire is more designed for the cyclist who wants a beautiful smooth ride (which this gave) but who also is willing to fork out beaucoup bucks for a tire that won't last very long.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very pleased and will buy as replacement
By Tall Paul
from Western NC
These tires came on some HED Jet 5 wheels that I purchased and are the tires that HED did aero test s with. First thing I noticed is the significantly better grip when you run your finger across them so that is a plus. Have used them under racing conditions and am very pleased. These holding up well and will buy these as replacements when the time comes.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The shock absorption is amazing. You will be astounded by the Improvment of the ride quality delivered by this tire! Riding on the same road surface before I mounted the continental tires, I would get a flat about every two weeks of riding, now, NO FLATS!Great tire!

Great tires! I've had several sets of Conti 4000's and they have proven durable, puncture resistant and overall great tires!
Always Dependable
By Mike
from La Quinta, California
I have 2 road bikes and have used Continental Grand Prix's for the last 4-5 replacement cycles. They seem to last nearly forever so I have been riding Conti's for over 10 years. In that time I have had, maybe, 3 flats. Meanwhile they roll noticeably easier that other brands I have tried. So, while relatively expensive, they prove themselves a worthy investment in performance and durability. I expect the "4000's" will prove even better that the last generation - the "3000" series. Finally, Bike Nashbar's price made the choice a no brainer for my recent replacement.

Best Tire By Far
By JD Of NSC
from Boston, MA
Continental 4000 tires put to shame all other tires I have tried. I only use the S series with black chili rubber but non chili rubber I am sure is good as the 2nd best tire I have ever used is the Continental Ultra Race folding. I have tried Hutchinson, Vredestein, Michelin and they are not in the same league. The rolling resistance, puncture resistance, durability, dry grip, wet grip, and ride quality are all noticeably better than any other tire. The Schwalbe Ultremo series I have not tried and they are the only tires that may be in the same league. The Vittoria Diamante and the EVO I also haven't tried and they are surely decent tires as I like the Rubino Pro's and the Zaffiro Pro's for value tires. The Mavic tires, which I understand are made by Vittoria, are very nice tires too. The Michelin Pro's seem very over rated tires to me and any Michelin owner who tries Conti's will be converted, I guarantee on the 1st ride. Those who complain about flats with Conti's to are just extremely unlucky because the flat resistance of the Grand Prix from my experience is nothing less than sensational. No flats in 4 years of using them and the Ultra Race too. The Grand Prix 4 Season and Gatorskins are of course decent tires but you lose so much speed and ride quality for a little improvement in puncture resistance.
Best tires I have ever had
By Greg G.
from Seffner, Florida
I read some where in the reviews that one of the tires exploded. I had that happen to me, took to the bike shop where I purchased it. I only had 100 miles on it or so, the Tech told showed me why. These are directional tires and if you put them on rotating the wrong way, thats what happens. I have had great success with these tires, I have had 1 flat in over 3500 miles. They are ready to be changed here in the next week. I will not use any tire other than these. Great tire. I ride 150 to 250 miles a week.

I have to show you this beautiful table + bench my husband made me for my bare bones dining room:
I've been on the hunt for a farmhouse table for a long time…so he built exactly what I wanted at a fraction of the price…$152 to be exact. We used these plans for the table…these plans for the bench. The stain was a combo of the Weathered Oak first, then a coat of Special Walnut to darken it.
The rug I want for under that table is the expensive part…ouch.
Woodworking is a lot like quilting isn't it???
In fact, I remember my husband describing quilting as cutting up perfectly good fabric and sewing it back together again…sort of like…oh yeah….woodworking. ;)
I'm mostly excited to use it for quilting, and fabric arranging…but not eating…there will be too much fabric and quilting.
Aren't these great??!! Love love love them but can't bear to use any of them. They are the Simply Spots by Kaffe Fassett for Westminster Fabrics.
Someday I'll tell you how I said his name wrong in front of him…and I wanted to put my head in a bag.
The winner of the S is for Stitch Giveaway was Jenny Larking…thanks for entering!

1950 - A Family History
Roche bobois is the story of two families, the Roches and the Chouchans, not predestined to meet. In 1950, Jacques Roche purchased the old Alexandre Dumas theater on rue de Lyon and built two stores. His sons, Philippe and François, joined the company and together established the company's development strategy. They began to distribute the very best contemporary furniture, which was heavily inspired by Bauhaus designers, such as Minvielle, Steiner and Airbourne, and equally inspired by renowned designers such as Pierre Paulin and Marc Berthier. At this time, the Chouchans were selling furniture in Paris on Boulevard Sébastopol at "Au Beau Bois" (which later became Bobois).
1960 - The meeting
1960 : Copenhagen Salon: The discovery of Scandinavian furniture. Not yet acquainted, Francois and Philippe Roche and Patrick and Jean-Claude Chouchan, attend the expo with the idea of importing furniture to sell in Paris. They meet and together design their first catalog which launches the national franchise. The adventure was just beginning. In 1961, they designed their first nationwide advertising campaign in Elle magazine. Sales boomed, and through this success, the adds proved the benefits of combining their resources and their names. From this point on roche bobois gained its own identity and became a brand name.
1970 • 1980 • 1990 - Constant Evolution
In the 1970, the power of television sparked a profound shift in household and a sofa was a "must-have". Sofas became the core of the "Les Contemporains" collection. In the 1980's, Roche Bobois expanded its collection with the creation of "Les Provinciales", a collection that would rethink traditional French furniture. The 1990's were characterized by a trend to fuse ethnic influences. Roche Bobois responded to this trend with the creation of the collection "Les Voyages". Roche Bobois is one of few in local furniture distributors to have successfully expanded globally, all the while creating a definable style in sync with the needs and desires of its customers.
The beginning of the 21st century at Roche Bobois was marked by two significant events: A global expansion with more stores in an even growing number of prestigious cities of the world, from the former Lupari palace of Bologna to the futuristic buildings of Montreal. And the development of a richer partnership with designers and architects, who conceive and create with Roche Bobois striking yet useful furniture and objects that embody a certain idea of design: design for living.
Today - Roche Bobois
The Roche Bobois Group is considered today as the world leader of high end furniture design and distribution, in addition to its elite positioning as a pioneer creator.
Each model results from a close collaboration between Roche Bobois, the designers and manufacturers, a concept that characterizes the brand's strength and originality. As a true testimony to its dynamism, Roche Bobois launches every six months an exclusive new collection and proudly ranks among the most talented furniture brands with an upscale international reputation.
The group is present in 45 countries through a constant rising network of more than 250 stores: approximately every month, a new Roche Bobois store opens its door to the public.

We all know what to look for when scoping out the high-powered competition, whether on the street or the track. The visual clues to big power couldn't be more obvious. The well-trained eye will quickly tune into hardware like a trick set of spread-port 18-degree heads, or a Dominator carb. Your ears will pick up the sharp crackle of a high-compression ratio, and the distinctive clatter of a mechanical valvetrain. The air will be filled with the distinctive scent of burnt race fuel. Yeah, you might think the telltales always give away the game. In the case of this deceptive street small-block Chevy from Dr. J's Performance, you'd better not let down your guard. While it sports ordinary-looking 23-degree cylinder heads, a single 4150 carb, a hydraulic valvetrain, and burns pump unleaded, this isn't your ordinary 400hp street small-block.
Building It
The crew at Dr. J's approached the build with the idea of taking what seems like ordinary street hardware to the next level. In a normally aspirated engine combo, this necessarily means bumping up the cubes, and turning up the wick on rpm capacity. To do this reliably requires parts that can take the punishment. The foundation for the build is one of Dart's stout SHP blocks, a unit that has the capacity for a large bore size, and comes with a revised oiling and enough metal in the right places to go the distance. The block was taken to a bore size of 4.155 inches, and mated with a 3.875-inch Callies Compstar crankshaft for a displacement of 421 ci. While more stroke can be stuffed into the Dart block, the moderate arm and large bore are right on target for reliability and longevity as the rpm fly.
Filling the bores are a set of CP Bullet flat-top pistons wrapped with their 1.5, 1.5, 3mm ring package. Bryce Mulvey of Dr. J's tells us, "I've tried a lot of pistons and the CP slugs always seem to deliver just a little more power. The Bullet line gives me high-end features at a price comparable to ordinary pistons, so it is a good performance value." The pistons swing from a set of Callies 6.00-inch Compstar H-beam rods, completing the block's internals.
Of course the bottom end can be built like an anvil, but without the right combination of power parts, all that hardware is just along for the ride. To take advantage of the solid bottom end, the cam, valvetrain, heads, and induction have to deliver the goods. Mulvey tapped Isky for a custom hydraulic roller measuring 258/262 degrees at 0.050 inch, cut on a 108-degree separation, and good for 0.640-inch lift with a set of COMP Cams 1.6:1 rockers. Providing the valvetrain control is a set of Manley springs delivering 170/500-pound spring load, while the balance of the valvetrain consists of Isky hydraulic-roller lifters, and Manley pushrods, retainers, and locks.
Topping the short-block are the key parts that bring the whole package together, starting with a set of Dr. J's AirWolf 220 cylinder heads. These conventional 23-degree castings deliver flow capacity typically reserved for more exotic stuff. The fully CNC-ported heads unleash 325 cfm at 0.700-inch lift from the intake ports, while the exhaust moves 244 cfm at the same lift, breathing through 2.125/1.600-inch valves. That's the kind of airflow capacity that can produce serious power. Feeding the cylinder heads is a Dr. J's fully ported "Hurricane" intake manifold topped with a Holley 950 Street HP carb.
On the Dyno
With the fire provided by an ignition system from MSD, and exhaling though a set of Schoenfeld dyno headers, the 421ci mouse was put to the test on Dr. J's DTS dyno. Getting into the upper 600hp range from 421 ci of small-block means turning some revs. From the numbers, the top end parts definitely have the capacity to feed the engine's high-rpm appetite, but where many builders fall short is in the cam and valvetrain when running a hydraulic roller. Right from the jump we could see this thing just worked upstairs. Peak torque was coming in at about 5,200 rpm, with plenty of twist on tap, closing in on the 600 lb-ft mark. With torque coming up that high in the rpm range and in such massive quantities, the only thing that could prevent big horsepower at the top is a cam and valvetrain that can't keep up. The Isky hydraulic roller setup proved its worth by pulling clean and sharp up to our test redline of 7,000 rpm. The dyno sheets showed 682 hp coming in at 6,600 rpm, and a usable powerband right up to redline. That kind of firepower makes this innocent-looking street small-block armed and dangerous.

The 4 zone valve manifold is assembled with 4, 3/4" DC in-line valves with flow control on a 1" manifold with 1" swivel FNPT x 1" MNPT with cap . The four 3/4" in line valves include flow control and 9 VDC solenoid with manual bleed. This DC valve manifold has a 1" FNPT swivel inlet with 3/4" outlet and is used with our model C046 four-station battery operated controllers. The manifold has quick connection swivel fittings with "O" rings for easy and quick installation. The unit features include easy maintenance of the unit and no tools or glue required in the installation. Large swivel cap allows for easy assembly of the swivel fitting inlet into a 1" MNPT male pipe thread, and provides the ability to maintain, repair and add additional valves for above or below grade installation.
The 4 zone valve manifold can be used as a building block for a four zones irrigation system that can be operated by our four-station battery operated controller model C046 with rain sensor connection. The valve manifold configuration includes a 1" swivel female thread with O-ring on the inlet side (TEFLON tape is not required), a 1" cap ending the manifold, 1" x 3/4" nipples connected into each of the 1" swivel manifolds, a 3/4" inline valve with FNPT connected into each nipple assembled together. The valve manifold can be expanded to any number of valves required for an irrigation system within the space inside the valve box.
The 1" manifold features include 9 VDC high flow 3/4" control valves with flow control and manual lever used for on/off and automatic operation, a swivel fitting with a large swivel cap for quick connection and a 1" cap, allowing the user to maintain, repair or add additional valves with no tools or glue.
To make this manifold suitable for a drip irrigation system, add into the 3/4" outlet of each valve a 3/4" filter with 155-mesh, model F303. To the filter connect a 25-PSI pressure regulator model A014, and to the pressure regulator connect a 3/4" swivel adapter model LF011. Into the swivel adapter connect the drip tubing with .700 OD.
If used for a drip system the 3 valve assembly can have up to 12 GPM (720 GPH) per each valve. If each valve is used only with one lateral of 1/2" drip tubing, the maximum flow per a lateral is 220 GPH.
Example: A valve manifold starting from a 1" PVC pipe:
1. Glue to the PVC pipe a PVC adapter with 1" MPT
2. Connect a swivel manifold with 1, 2, 3 or 4 outlets depending on the number of valves in the manifold.
3. To the outlet side of the valve with the swivel connect a PVC male adapter
4. Glue the PVC pipe to the male adapter
5. Turn the water on and flush the line
6. Close the end of the manifold using the end cap (model SWF006, sold separately)
7. Pressurize the system and make sure that water is not leaking from the unit or any part along the line. Test the assembly manually and then automatically via the controller, and then program the controller.
Note: Make sure that the water flow direction matches for each component, if any is in line with the water flow. Use Teflon Tape only with the PVC male adapter and make sure to remove all Teflon tape excess.

Uncorrected Proofs
Love 'em. Love searching for 'em. Love haggling for 'em. Love reading 'em and finding mistakes.
The Challenge
To get a collection of uncorrected proofs by the world's most famous authors (TP excluded) with a combined age of 1,000 years.
- The author must be world famous
- One book per author
- time limit = 1 year
A lot of books don't have proofs and those that do tend to be a bit pricey - way out of my price range.
Instead of getting hold of a major work by a specific author, I'll try for an obscure book, the tattier and more battered the cheaper.
I have two so far.
George Orwell - 66 years old
Arthur C Clarke - 50 years old.
I have paid for another two and am watching a further two.

Founder Insight gives you insight from the startup trenches.
In a post from his blog, Bob Crimmins, Founder of MoonTango and Seattle Founder Institute mentor, addresses the business side of starting up. While most founders tend to focus on their idea and passion, they often neglect thinking about logistics and whether or not an idea is viable. Bob says, It's really hard to tell if a startup business is likely to succeed but it's surprisingly easy to show that it's likely to fail...if you can make your startup business fail on paper first then you're way ahead of the game."
Below, a portion of "It's not a startup...it's a startup business" has been republished.
[This post was originally published on GeekWire, February 13, 2013, under the title "It's not a startup … It's a startup business."]
"As a species, we can be pretty lazy with language. That's cool… we all know what we mean. But I reckon there can be benefits from occasional reminders about what we all think we know. The word "startup" is such an occasion.
We say it and we hear it all the time. But "startup" is really just shorthand for "startup business." We all know that, right? So what's the point of laboring over two whole additional syllables when we're already all on the same page?
I'm not claiming causality here, but I find it curious how infrequently I hear entrepreneurs talking about the business side of their startup businesses. Mostly, we love to talk about the idea and our passion for it. We love to talk about our motivation… the solution… the design… the technology… the brilliance. The business? Not so much.
Mostly, the ideas I hear are good. Some are really good. But a startup business needs to be more (much more) than just a really good idea. It needs to be a good business too. And as it turns out, there's usually a huge chasm between good ideas and good businesses.
Here's the rub: there are lots and lots of really good ideas, cool ideas, outstanding ideas, stuff we all wish existed and if it did exist we think we'd use it… that are NOT also good businesses. It's only a small subset of good ideas that are also good businesses.
Job one for an entrepreneur is to figure out if there's actually a good business to be had from a good idea. Or is it just a good idea? It's OK if a good idea turns out not to be a good business — just so long as you figure that out before you spend three years of your life, expend all your savings, exhaust your relationships and take down your whole team with you while you're at it.
There's no certainty to be had here but it's remarkable how often startups are pursued without ever diving deep on the business side. It's a rare thing when an entrepreneur reaches out to me because they want to talk about the sustainability of their business model or the scalability of their revenue strategy. They want to talk about their idea. Which is just fine because I love talking about ideas. But even more than the ideas themselves, I love talking about the business of the idea.
So once I think I have a reasonable understanding of their product, their market, their team (which usually takes less than 15 minutes)… I am ready to talk business. How are or you going to make money? How much will customers pay? Why would they pay that? How long will it take and how much will it cost you to acquire those customers? How many have you talked to? What's the long term value of a customer once acquired? What's your distribution strategy? Is it a two sided market? How are you going to solve for that? And a hundred other questions. Needless to say, these can be hard questions to hear if you haven't spent a lot of time thinking about them and can make for a disappointing conversation for a lot of entrepreneurs.
In any case, here's what I've found: It's really hard to tell if a startup business is likely to succeed but it's surprisingly easy to show that it's likely to fail (or at least show that there's rational justification for believing you don't know how it could possibly succeed). This is really good news because if you can make your startup business fail on paper first then you're way ahead of the game.
Then you have some choices to make besides fervently proclaiming your passion for the idea and constantly quoting the late Steve Jobs on perseverance and citing Instagram's acquisition.
You could choose to call it what it looks like, i.e., just a good idea but not a good business. There's no shame in that. Lots of useful, clever ideas turn out not to be a good business.
Remember, most good ideas are not also a good business. If it's an idea you really care about about but you can't wrangle a business model out of it then you may have just discovered a labor of love that you can have a blast working on in your spare time without the pressure of feeling like you should quit your paying job. And who knows, if you keep working at it, something might change and you might stumble upon a business pivot that turns it from a labor of love to a startup business."
