This might be the year that breaks the BCS (bull-championship-feces) and
causes them to start playoffs. I believe that Penn St., Alabama, and
Texas will all finish undefeated and have good reason to be playing for
the championship. One of them (probably Penn St) will get the large
shaft.
That's the general area of MO that I sold my SD toalso the identical
color...? I wonder?

Changed the front brake pads on my W126 over the weekend. Noticed that the
metal backing plate BARELY fit into opening on the calliper, even after
cleaning out all the accumulated brake dust, detritus, etc, and the pads
were thick enough to barely fit between the calliper and the rotor.

Generally, LED's are dimmable. (It's fluorescents that aren't.)
Not saying that they'll track any remaining incandescents in the

You dim them by chopping current flow so they are only flashing on some
fraction of the time. You need a simple little timer circuit to do that.

LED's dim just fine on reduced current. You can PWM them,
or you can use a dropping resistor. It's just less linear
than with incandescents.

Anti-squeal material. If the pad barely fits, it's correct, there only needs
to be enough room for the plate to move under brake pressure and move back very

Actually fluorescents can be dimmed. Just takes a special controller. A
lot of the classrooms at UF in Gainesville have dimmers on the
fluorescent lights in them.
As for the LEDs, a lot of the stuff I have read says that dimming LEDs
