1992 Ford Thunder bird Super Coup 6cyl 3.8L, Automatic, has ABS.
I am having break issues with my Thunder bird. The breaks are hard to press and hard to stop. The break lights do come on when the break pedal is pressed. 1 Mechanic told me it was my Master Cylinder, another told me it was my Bre
French blogger Eric from PresseCitron, currently meeting with LG at their Design Labs, tweeted that Windows Mobile 7 will be coming to LG handsets in September. The Tweets were taken down pretty quickly, but WMPoweruser captured them even quicker.
Eric also tweeted that LG will be coming out with an Android 2.1 handset in April.
Windows Mobile 7 will (hopefully) be showing its face at Mobile World Congress in Febraury. With rumors flying earlier this week that Windows Mobile 7 wouldn't roll out until 2011, Eric's Tweets make us optimistic that we'll see WinMo7 on handsets by the end of the calendar year.

They say that the strength of the magnetic field possible from an iron core electromagnet is limited to 1.6-2 T, is this limitation holds for an electromagnet with any number of turns ??? (is number of turns is a factor) and another question is, which core practically seems to be best???
This may not necessarily be the most practical DIY, but if you're looking at that picture—I mean really looking—and you're not thinking "I want to go to there," well, I just don't know what to tell you.
Like Daft Punk before you, now you too can dazzle people with a line-y, glow in the dark suit (and freak them out by remaining totally mute the entire night wearing it). Making one of these takes some preparation—you'll need to order the glow wire online and secure the parts for a battery pack to keep it running—but the Instructable gives detailed instructions for every step.
So if you're heading to a dance party this weekend, or performing a futuristic heist, or meeting your significant other's parents for the first time, this DIY project is definitely worth a look. [Instructables]

Well, this could go down as the very biggest of the soon-to-be famous Martha Coakley gaffes.
On Boston radio WBZ yesterday, Martha Coakley accused Red Sox great Curt Schilling of being a "Yankees fan."
From the NY Times blog, Saturday:
It was Ms. Coakley who brought up baseball in the interview on WBZ News Radio. She noted that her rival, Scott Brown, a Republican State Senator, had been campaigning in Boston Friday with Rudolph W. Giuliani, and she reminded listeners that Mr. Giuliani is a Yankee fan.
The interviewer, Dan Rea, said, “Yeah, but now Scott Brown has Curt Schilling, OK?’’
To which Ms. Coakley replied, “And another Yankee fan.’’
“Schilling?’’ Mr. Rea pressed.
“Yes,’’ she said.
“Curt Schilling a Yankee fan?’’ he persisted.
“No, all right, I’m wrong on my, I’m wrong,’’ she said.
Here's the video of the recorded radio show.
Times reporter Michael Cooper goes on to note that the Red Sox pitcher "was accorded near-heroic status here for guiding the team to victory over their arch-rivals, the Yankees, in a key game in 2004 while his own sock was literally bloody from an ankle injury."
Curt Schilling responded early this morning on a post at his blog 38 Pitches:
But never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn’t know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could….
Coming on the heels of the Fenway Park diss, where Coakley sardonically commented that Scott Brown was wasting his time shaking hands "out in the cold," in front of the world-famous Baseball park, this cannot be at all helpful to Coakley's campaign, not too mention 3 days before the election.
UPDATE!
Latest internal polls being leaked from both the Coakley and Brown campaigns, according to NRO, have a range of complete tie to Brown up by 11 points.
I haven’t done a Caturday post in awhile, but I found an old photo with a story I wanted to share.
In 2009 I filmed a documentary for the show "Engineering the Universe" (this was with the same crew that helped me Kill A Planet). We wanted to make a scale model of the solar system that people could instantly grasp, so we went to the Denver Broncos’ Mile High Stadium to use the football field there. We put the Sun on one end and Pluto at the other… but I won’t spoil it. It’ll air eventually!
Anyway, as we walked onto the field through the corridor between bleachers, this cutie was guarding the way:
But what was she guarding? If you look down on the right near the end of the corridor, you’ll see a blue metal door ajar with a green bin in front of it. I saw some movement, so I peered in… and got a surprise.
I guess Guard Cat was actually Mama Guard Cat! She was very skittish, but the kittens were friendly and adorable. The whole crew wanted to take them home, but we decided they had a pretty good life right here. I’m sure they get fed, and had plenty of rodents and such to choose from. The stadium is huge and no doubt is the cat equivalent of a food court.
Happy Caturday!
To be a photographer is to lose lens caps. They slide under stacks of paper and get kicked across floors. But armed with a shampoo bottle, an X-acto knife, and this guide, you can make your lens caps stay put.
The simple system involves attaching a plastic hook to your camera strap and an elastic hoop to your lens cap. Then, instead of being tossed aside or slid thoughtlessly into a pocket, the lens cap stays hooked onto your rig, easily accessed, at all times.
This tutorial offers a template for a simple hook, as shown above, but there is plenty of room to get creative with your lens cap clip. And the less time you spend looking for your lost caps, the more time you can spend on your photography. [Benvelo via Wired]

When the economy is full of uncertainty with no one knowing where it's heading, there is often a temptation to sit tight and do nothing. Yet that can be a risky strategy. In fact by doing so, you might be passing up an opportunity to get a leg up on the competition by, for example, instituting new p

No major change in the Texas political landscape after debate
Self-described "libertarian-conservative," radio talk show host and frequent Rush Limbaugh fill-in, Mark Davis of WBAP in Dallas, pronounced three winners yesterday, in the much-anticipated Republican Governor's debate. And the winners are: Rick Perry, Kay B. Hutchison and Debra Medina.
From the Dallas Morning-News, "Debate delivers awkward moments and clarity":
In a nutshell, Gov. Rick Perry needed to weave a narrative of a recession-resistant Texas, succeeding because of his leadership. He did that.
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison needed to get aggressive with Perry, reminding the conservative base of the gripes they've had with him at times during his decade in office. She did that.
Debra Medina needed to appear worthy of her spot on the stage, a self-proclaimed ordinary citizen sandwiched between two of the most successful politicians in Texas history. She did that, and then some.
So if every camp could properly say it succeeded, the result becomes obvious: no major change in the landscape of the race. If Perry had a double-digit lead walking in, he had one walking out.
Best for Texas: Perry as Governor, Hutchison as Senator, and Medina running for future office
Davis goes on to write, that what most Texans really want is continuous of the status quo, with recession-battling Perry as Governor and ObamaCare opponent Hutchison remaining in her current office:
I have been looking, for a shred of evidence that her heroic recent stances against Obamacare and cap and trade – some of the best moments in her Senate career – will somehow translate into a new wave of voters who want her to escape the Beltway and move into the governor's mansion.
I see none. What I am sensing is a murmur of an echo of what Texas said in 2006, when voters gave a thumbs-up to Perry in Austin and Hutchison in Washington.
As for inside-the-major party "3rd party" candidate Medina, Davis sees a distinctly bright future, possibly running for some other statewide office. He noted that the former County GOP Chair contributed to the debate on a number of issues that wouldn't have otherwise been brought up. She pushed an increase in the state sales tax, to allow for complete elimination of property taxes. And she also brought up an issue not normally discussed in such debates. Continuing:
[She] courageously revealed a libertarian streak that teaches that each state should have a debate over drug legalization. (I said courageously, not necessarily wisely.)
From a friend:
Let me get this straight.
The new health care plan will be written by a committee whose Chairman says he doesn't understand it;
Passed by a Congress which hasn't read it;
Signed by a President who smokes;
Funded by a Treasury Chief who did not pay his taxes;
Overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese;
And financed by a country that is nearly broke.
What could possibly go wrong?
