Before deciding on media, you might first want to define what kind of effects you are trying to achieve. My choice of media is FB Matte and Prisma colored pencils. I use turpentine + oil mixture to smooth it out.
Using these materials, colors are typically muted. I'll never get vivid and bright colors.
Generally speaking, FB matte papers are much easier and more receptive to hand coloring. If you fancy getting into the world of hand-coloring, you might just start using them.
Here's my comic releaf on this subject.

Measure N passed, but could face court battle: 'I don't think they're done with us'
Voters in Murrieta have decided they don't want red-light cameras in the city.
Measure N, put forth by residents to ban the traffic devices, was approved by 57 percent of voters Tuesday.
"I think it sends a message," said Diana Serafin, the main proponent of the measure. "I do feel good. It's a victory for the people."
Once the vote is certified, the initiative states that the City Council must adopt an ordinance that will remove the four existing red-light cameras and prohibit future installation of such equipment in the city.
But it is unknown whether that move will be held up by a legal challenge.
Steven Flynn was chairman of the Public Safety and Traffic Commission in the mid-2000s and was instrumental in the effort to install red-light cameras.
He was the named petitioner in an unsuccessful lawsuit that tried to get the initiative taken off the ballot.
One of the arguments made against Flynn's suit was that, traditionally, initiatives are challenged after voters have had their say.
On Tuesday night, Flynn said he was unsure whether he would continue the challenge.
Serafin, however, expects to wind up in a courtroom again.
"I don't think they're done with us," she said. "I pray to God they are. This will be a suit against the city of Murrieta and it means the taxpayers will pay for it."
Murrieta City Manager Rick Dudley said he does not know whether the cameras would stay up if the initiative is challenged in court.
He said that could depend on the timing of the challenge, and whether the court issued a stay pending the outcome of a challenge.
The initiative was put on the ballot after a group of residents, led by Serafin, gathered signatures.
The county registrar confirmed that enough signatures were gathered last November, but the measure had to overcome a court fight to be put before voters.
Proponents of the ban say the cameras are unconstitutional and actually lead to more crashes than they prevent.
Councilmen Randon Lane and Rick Gibbs were among the people who wanted to keep the cameras in place.
They said the number of crashes at the monitored intersections has decreased greatly since the cameras were installed in 2006 at Murrieta Hot Springs and Whitewood roads, Murrieta Hot Springs and Margarita roads, and Clinton Keith Road and Nutmeg Street.
The No on N group was backed by American Traffic Solutions Inc., which operates the cameras under a contract with the city.
ATS donated more than $50,000 to the No on N campaign, according to campaign disclosure reports.
"We beat Goliath," Serafin said after the preliminary results were released.
More ballots remain to be counted, but the outcome is not expected to change.
She said she was expecting an easy victory before the No on N campaign sent out mailers and made phone calls to voters.
Serafin said intersections can be made safer without the cameras.
"If we can get the yellow lights extended and add a second or two to the red, we'll have safe intersections," she said. "I'm going to fight for that."

My baby wants to be held all the time. Help!
My 2-month-old will only stay quiet for a few minutes after I put her down -- then she starts crying. I try everything to settle her down, but she won't stop crying until someone picks her up again. I feel like my arms are about to fall off. What can I do?

dont worry, this will pass very soon, my 4 month old son does still do the same, and dont be afraid if others say that you are going to spoil him if u pick him up when he cries, i suggest you to pick him up immediately (i understand how tired you are, so was i) because not only u will bond more with your baby but also you will make him feel safe, you construct the trust between you two even at this early stage of his life, and you can ask for someone to help you for e few hours during the day, like your husband's, friends...good luckposted 09/23/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
My lo is almost 4 months. I hold from the first day she was born an until now but i do believe at can spoil her. She constantly wants to be held so now i dont hold her as much but at times i do just to play with her. When she do need me i lay her next to me and cuddle with her but i do not hold her up. There are times to give in but not every single time. Now im teaching her to sleep on her own crib so far she hates it but its safer for her, her dad sleeps too funny and has reflects in his dream :/posted 09/11/2013 by bunthea
This will pass... my daughter was the same way. I purchased a sling and it was the only thing that kept me sane. I had a hard time with letting her cry, so I mostly just did everything with her attached to me. They says you can spoil a baby... trust me THAT IS TRUE! I can put her down now that she's 7 months, but she is rotten!posted 09/09/2013 by Britdizzle
There is a simple reason babies cry, because they need something. It is their only form of communication, and they are not capable of manipulating you. You can also not "spoil" a newborn. Babies are not capable of "self-soothing" until at least 6 months of age if not later. Leaving babies to cry should only be an option if mom is so stressed out she needs a breather. If you need to recruit help from friends and family please do so, or hire help like a nanny or postpartum doula. Good luck and know that you are not alone :)posted 07/03/2013 by doulamomsara
My son dose that to inill i put music by him and he gose to bed that is how i held that try it it works goodposted 09/01/2013 by crhynard
I have a four year old and just had twins so I literally cannot always see to both babies. As long as they are fed, dry, not screaming and got most of their wind up then I will leave them for a little bit. I don't think they will remember me leaving them occasionally whereas my 4year old might so would rather see to him when I can so he doesn't feel left out. I am sure leaving them when they do not NEED anything and I have to feed my son or pick him up from school etc will not harm them, they'll have to learn that sometimes I cannot give each of them all the attention they want.posted 09/01/2013 by shazz1990
Yeah, I went through the same. But you can't help it, you never know why they do this. Make sure you're right and quality baby products. Baby-ware, baby-diaper, Baby wipes, and Baby Powder. provide them with all kind of comfort zone that possibly you can.posted 08/28/2013 by lindaszetiz
Angeliasalinas - The advice your family is giving you to let the baby cry is WRONG! They used to tell this to our parents, but they now know a baby that young does NOT have the developmental ability to self soothe. Until he is at LEAST four months old, he would only be able to cry himself into passing out from sheer exhaustion. He does not understand cause and effect yet, so he will have no idea WHY he is being allowed to cry and cry. Bottom line, you litterally CANNOT spoil a baby. Once he is a little older, then you may have to help him sleep on his own, but most children grow out of the need to be held naturally in their own time, between the ages of 1-3. Follow your instincts and hold your baby whenever he needs. This creates a bond and trust needed for his life-long self-esteem. Also get him checked for acid reflux which may be causing him pain when you lay him down.

Hi my 2 and a half month old baby does the same exact thing, I put him down and he crys so I would pick him up and my family would tell me to put him down and let him cry :/ and I hate it ..... they tell me to let him cry r els he will always want the arms and I wouldnt be able to do nothing bc he will want the arms For the ppl who r commenting can u tell me when u guys helf ur kids all the time did they get out of it eventually? R did they always want the arms even when they were 1+ yrs old??posted 08/22/2013 by angeliasalinas
Every baby is different - some are cryers, others aren't. You just have to do what's best for you and your baby. Trust your gut.posted 08/12/2013 by sylvia_1971

PART 4 of 4:
Nutnfancy's table-top review of this excellent FN sidearm. All indicators point to the innovative FN Five-Seven pistol being an outstanding design. It's the companion pistol to the FN PS/P90 carbine and serves many of its special purpose functions. While more of a rifle caliber than a pistol one, it's advantageous to compare the design against a known and respected standard. Against the Glock 17, the 5-7 stacks up very well indeed. Essentially it has the same incredible light weight, equal firepower, good trigger, good sights (adjustable too!), ruggedness, simplicity, reliability, accuracy, ergonomics, and it's quality-built. But it uses the proprietary FN 5.7x28mm round which brings both good and bad news. The good is it provides laser-like trajectories out to 100 yards, Kevlar penetrating capabilities, amazing velocities (1700 fps for commercial loads), less recoil, and higher magazine capacities due to its small size. The bad news is the ammo is hard to find, it's expensive (compared to pistol ammo), current brass doesn't reload well, and few other guns besides FNs use it. While I don't have trigger time behind either of them at this point, my anecdotal study shows the 5.7x28mm to be a decent manstopper (surprisingly). But other downsides of the 57 is its high cost, wide grip, and limited accessories available at this time. It all others ways I think the design is a hit and would serve well as both a special purpose and all-around full sized defensive (or offensive) handgun. But honestly the jury is still in many ways on both the round and this design. It will have to be proven over time, like the Glock, preferably by adoption by LE and military units for it to gain world acceptance and respect. And for this design to survive, the 5.7x28mm load will have to become more common and popular with other manufacturers chambering for it as well. Sadly, I feel that without that type of support the round is doomed to a marketing failure. . Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 7 out of 10

Hello, I'm a solid 6.8 handicap. I find that after a road trip or a couple of days without hitting a golf ball, I lose my tempo and have to spend a couple of hours on the range to get it back. I'm starting 9th grade tomorrow and was wondering the best way to keep my tempo, while also balancing schoolwork. I don't want to have to spend hours on the range every Saturday because I missed the whole week.
First off, congratulations on having such a low handicap as you enter the 9th grade. I am sure you are looking forward to playing on the golf team.
I am glad to hear you want to balance your education. Your education will be one of the most important things you can do for yourself in order to be successful. Study hard.
With that said, I have heard some people use a phrase to help their tempo. For example, you may want to say "Smooooooth" on your backswing, then "and" on your transition, then "straight" on your downswing. Or some other positive words. Depending on your tempo maybe 4 1 syllable words or something. Anything to promote tempo. I personally do not do this but I know some people who do and do it successfully.
The only other suggestion I would have is try to get out to the range and hit balls for 15 minutes every few days. I am a big believer in seeing your divots and seeing your ball flight so hitting balls is the only other idea. Just practice swings might cause some small issues to creep in. I know this is not always practical but hopefully you live to close to a range.
But of course, they are my opinions and not necessarily fact. These are from my experience and will differ from others.
I am sure others will have some great ideas.
I hope this helps. Study hard, do well in school, and good luck on the golf team. Keep focused, stay positive and I think you are going to do very well.
All the best.
12 months ago
Study Hard, enjoy golf, you might even get a scholarshjp.
I was thinking maybe you can get a small piece of indoor/outdoor carpet (grass type) about 2 ft by 2 feet and go to a sporting goods store and buy those limited flight plastic balls and hit it your backyard after homework or chores. Don't worry too much about ball flight, you're working on tempo and contact. If you live in an apartment just do when parents are not home, just don't get caught.
Its not exactly like going to a range, but it helps. I got a bucket of old used balls that I keep and I use it in my backyard for chipping and pitching when I feel like practicing.
5 minutes of practice does help. I practice putting on the carpet at home too.
good luck.

Exactly, why would they have suddenly changed course the first time through?
Yep, that's a pickle. The only answer I can give (aside from Timo's thoroughly reasonable interpretation!) is that, as per Worf's example of the Mobius loop, there
was no first time through.
Rather, every time through, they were operating under the same information from a 'previous' loop, telling them to change course. Given the same information, any course change would be the same one, every time, even if they tried to randomise it (randomisation in computers is just based on set criteria, after all).
They were wrong, but, hey!

text: This letter is for the remnant of Americans who are fed up with the size and scope of government at every level. We are never going to have Constitutional government in this country, ever. We are never going to vote enough of the "bad guys" out and the "good guys" in to restore "limited government." There are too many people who have never, and will never, read the U.S. Constitution. And there aren't very many people who would understand it even if they did. Aside from that, there are way too many people in this country who are hopelessly entrenched in statist philosophy. Nobody who works for the government, contracts for the government or receives a welfare check from the government (businesses included) will ever vote for smaller government. There may be plenty of people who will vote for small government "rhetoric," but never the real deal. This is why the Republicans have never and will never reduce the size of government. The true liberty-loving minority will always get slaughtered at the polls. No government can protect individual liberty. In fact, history has shown us that it is its greatest enemy. If you cherish freedom, the path lies in anarchism. Seth King, Bowman

What happened to the Kohl's American Cup?
The American cup is a national program sponsored by US Youth Soccer Association and Kohl's Department stores. Each year, organizations around the country apply to have the American Cup experience come to their community. For the past 18 years, we have applied to host an American Cup, and been selected. This year, we were not selected. According to US Youth Soccer, they wanted to reach out to organizations other states that have never had the opportunity to host an American Cup.
So, we have decided that in the years that we are not chosen to host an American Cup, we will still hold a recreational tournament anyway. In order to be consistent, we will use the same rules and policies, but the tournament will be called the
Cache Valley Mini Cup – Recreational Tournament
. The Cache Valley Fun Park, has been generous enough to give us a major sponsorship for the tournament, and make it possible for us to continue to host this event within our community. Many thanks to the
Cache Valley Fun Park
for helping us make it happen!

Reviews of Sydney's Plumbing Specialists
Michael was an absolute professional, arriving on time and completing the job (leaking toilet) expertly, cleanly and without delay. Michael quoted upfront for the work and the pricing was very reasonable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael and will certainly be using his services again.
xenologist 5 reviewsI called SPS for a small job (to replace a faulty tap in the kitchen) and was very happy with the service. The plumber arrived next morning as agreed, gave the price upfront and was friendly, professional, and clean. The price was reasonable too, so I will definitely use SPS again in the future.
Well, I decided to call SPS once more a few months ago and found that they had grown quite a bit and basically turned into a typical overpriced plumbing business. I guess, they gained enough market share to afford charging people an arm and a leg without caring about losing a few clients.
Clean, yes, professional, yes, value for money, not any more.

the Literature of Gentrification
After the West End was torn down… the area's slightly
European atmosphere and the increasing sentimentality with
which ethnic areas began to be viewed starting in the 1960s
helped transform the remembered West End… the area was
recalled as a tight-knit, cohesive, even "primordial" community—
a place said to have avoided the anomie, anonymity and alien-
ation often thought by intellectuals and writers to infect
cities—and since the 1950s suburbia too. I may not have helped
when I called the book I wrote about the area Urban Villagers.
—Herbert Gans1
In 1961, assistant professor of art and Brooklyn Heights resident Martin James released "Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn Heights: A Study of the Misuse of Public Power and Funds in Urban Renewal." To attack the city's high-rise development plan, the James report offered a scathing indictment of urban renewal and modernist planning. Where city planners relied on abstract statistics and scientific diagrams to label the area a "slum," James instead offered a romantic and colorful description of Brooklyn Heights that evoked its vibrant diversity and rich sense of place. Rather than simply a collection of dilapidated buildings, the Heights was a rare vestige of an authentic neighborhood in a rapidly modernizing city. "The unique character is more than a sum of its parts," explained James. "It grows out of the complexes of handsome facades, the clean lines of short and narrow streets bordered with trees. It grows out of the suggestion of age and history, and the views of harbor and skyline. It grows out of the rim of small shops, galleries, artisan quarters and studios, out of glimpses of gardens and well-tended back yards full of trees and flowers." Not only was the landscape unique, but the community was diverse as well, as a new middle class mixed with the elderly poor. "The social makeup of the Heights is an unusual, organic unity of diverse elements: old Brooklyn families, young professional people, artists, musicians and writers, small shop owners and local employees. There are also a number of single people, most of them elderly, living on benefits and pensions. People of many different

Office Depot and Staples are the country's two largest remaining big-box office supplies chains, and earlier this year, Staples proposed to to acquire Office Depot. While the two companies wait for the Federal Trade Commission to bless the marriage or call off the engagement, Office Depot has announced plans to speed up its store closings, with a goal of shuttering 400 stores by the end of 2016.

Office Depot Plans To Close 400 Stores By The End Of 2016
Starbucks Closing All Standalone La Boulange Bakery Cafés By Fall
Back in 2012, Starbucks bought a San Francisco-based bakery chain, La Boulange, to help class up its offerings in the pastry case. While Starbucks will keep the brand for the pastries served in Starbucks cafés, the company has decided to close the 23 standalone La Boulange locactions that have stayed in business since the acquisition.

Gap To Close 21% Of Its U.S. Stores By January
The mid-priced clothing business simply isn't what it used to be. Today, Gap Inc. announced that it will be closing 175 of its Gap stores in the next few years, and 140 of them will close during this fiscal year, which ends in January. However, it's just regular Gap stores that are closing: the company's upmarket Banana Republic brand and downmarket Old Navy brand are doing fine, as are Gap outlets and factory stores. [More]
Frederick's Of Hollywood Will Close One-Third Of Stores
While Frederick's of Hollywood is a much smaller chain than other recent retail collapses like
Delia's dELiA*s, Wet Seal, and the impending loss of thousands of Radio Shacks, we're still sad to share the news that about one-third of stores in the lingerie chain will close. While we don't have the list yet, we do know one store on it: the chain's flagship store in Hollywood. [More]
Here's A List Of Proposed RadioShack Store Closings
No one who has been paying attention to retail news is surprised that RadioShack filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection yesterday, and that the chain plans to close about half of its stores. Yet you may be wondering: what if I need a soldering kit or a cordless phone battery at 4 P.M. on a Friday? How many of the Radio Shacks near me are going out of business? [More]
Just Because Your Kmart's Shelves Are Empty, That Doesn't Mean It's Closing
As Sears Holdings, the parent company of Kmart and Sears, tries to save itself from impending doom, the company is closing a number of its weaker stores. In the current round of cuts, Kmart stores are heavily affected, but the company wants to assure residents of one California town that in spite of empty shelves, their local Kmart store is not about to close. [More]
JCPenney Announces 40 Store Closures, But Holiday Sales Were Up
JCPenney is looking slightly less doomed than previously anticipated. This week, the department store chain announced its holiday season sales results, which were slightly up over the same period last year. There's bad news, too, though: about 4% of the company's stores will close this spring, a total of 40 stores in 19 states, with a total of about 2,250 jobs. [More]
Eddie Lampert Blogs Mini-Manifesto About Why Sears Has Shed 200 Stores
Americans seem to love and hate their Kmart and Sears stores: our posts linking to unofficial but comprehensive closing lists have been very popular in the last few weeks. Americans apparently love to complain about their Sears Holdings stores, but don't really want them to go away. Sears Holdings CEO and chief manifesto-writer Eddie Lampert recently took to the company's blog to explain why the chain is getting rid of up to 200 stores. [More]
Sears Says Reports Of Planned Store Closings Are Wrong, Won't Elaborate
Sears Holdings wants you to know that the rumors of planned store closings by the end of this year are wrong. After a report earlier today put together information from local media reports about which Sears, Sears Auto, and Kmart locations are currently scheduled to close, Sears representatives reached out to major outlets like USA Today and the Chicago Tribune to explain that the reports were incorrect. [More]
Layaway Customer At Closing Ohio Kmart Told To Pay Up Before Store Closes
Kmart started its Christmas-themed advertising back at the beginning of September, with an ad promoting its layaway program. Only after the holiday layaway season kicked off, Kmart announced a fresh round of store closings. This included two stores in Ohio,
which have told customers that they have to pay off their layaway accounts by November 1st. UPDATE: The deadline may indeed not be November 1st. [More]
Staples Will Keep Closing Stores, Nobody Is Surprised
Earlier this year, Staples announced plans to close 225 underperforming store due to poor performance. Almost six months later, the office supply retailer hasn't managed to turn things around, mostly because consumers are looking elsewhere for most of the things they would buy at Staples. Especially electronics. Turning things around will be a difficult task, since the chain plans aggressive discounts to lure customers back in. [More]
Best Buy To Close 42 Stores, Hold Crappy Clearance Sales
Customers stopping by some Best Buy stores around the United States on Saturday got a surprise: the stores had abruptly closed down for the day. When the electronics mega-chain announced a few weeks ago that they planned to close about fifty of their biggest boxes, they meant it. Forty-two Best Buy stores in twenty states (and one in Puerto Rico) will close by May 12. Or whenever they run out of stock: whichever happens first. [More]
Best Buy To Employees: "Don't Worry About Stores Being Closed. We're Opening Stores In China"
Back in January, Best Buy CEO Brian "Brooks and" Dunn confirmed reports that the electronics retailer would continue to shrink the footprint of its bricks-and-mortar stores. But a recent memo sent to employees says not to worry about those shuttered outlets because Best Buy is opening up new stores — in China. [More]
First Sears And Kmart Closings Of 2012 Concentrated In Midwest And South
Sears Holdings, owner of the perpetually troubled retailer power couple Sears and Kmart, has released the locations of 80 out of the 100 to 120 "under-performing" stores that will close in the coming months. Most of the stores on this first list are in the southern and midwestern U.S. [More]
28 More Borders Stores Added To Closing List
Borders announced late yesterday that heartbreak, job loss, and terrible liquidation sales are coming to even more of its stores than previously announced, as part as the company's bankruptcy plans. In a statement the company said that the stores added to the list will close by late May, and could start liquidation as soon as this weekend. [More]
Say Goodbye To GameCrazy, Hollywood Video
Blockbuster's main brick-and-mortar competitor, Movie Gallery, is shutting down all its U.S. stores, Reuters reports, citing the paywall-riffic Wall Street Journal. [More]
Best Buy is streamlining its high end Magnolia Audio Video stores by closing down Magnolia HQ, disbanding all current Magnolia management positions, and closing 7 of the 13 stores. [TWICE] (Thanks to Klay and Eric!)
Is JC Penney Going To Close Some Of Its Stores?
This is rumor only, folks, but a tipster tells us that JC Penney plans on closing 11 stores this year, and that they're freezing salaries on all employees. The retailer isn't doing as badly as some of its competitors—it has no debt maturing in 2009, for example, and plans to have $2 billion in cash on hand at the end of this month—but considering CEO Mike Ullman has said he's planning business conservatively for 2009, it wouldn't be that surprising if it turns out to be true.

Lester, Cox carry Auburn over Mississippi State
Associated Press
Rivals.com College Football
Box score | Game Highlights
STARKVILLE, Miss. - Brad Lester rushed for two touchdowns and Brandon Cox passed for two more as No. 4 Auburn overpowered Mississippi State 34-0 on Saturday.
The Tigers (2-0, 1-0 SEC) have now won 18 of their last 19 SEC games, dating back to the 2004 league title game, and are a conference-best 37-12 since 2000.
Lester found plenty of running room as the Bulldogs (0-2, 0-2) focused on top runner Kenny Irons, who was held to 69 yards - ending his streak of seven consecutive games with more than 100 yards rushing.
The faster Lester exploited the edges of Mississippi State's defense, rushing for 40 yards and twice taking the ball wide and sprinting for scores.
His first touchdown, a 2-yard run to the left corner, put Auburn up 14-0 with 11:35 remaining in the first half. The play was set up by Karibi Dede's fumble recovery after Auburn's Sen'Derrick Marks sacked and stripped the ball away from Mississippi State quarterback Tray Rutland at the Bulldogs 1.
Another Rutland mistake late in the quarter allowed Auburn to extend its lead. Rutland was driving his team but was intercepted by David Irons with 2:01 left.
Eight plays later, John Vaughn was short on a 50-yard field goal, but the Tigers were flagged for delay of game.
This time Auburn would benefit from its mistake. Vaughn easily made the second attempt from 55 yards away - a career long and the fourth longest in school history- and Auburn led 17-0 at halftime.
A Mississippi State facemask penalty on the opening kickoff of the second half helped Auburn pile on the points as the Tigers took over from the Bulldogs 48.
Irons ripped off one of his few long runs, a 17-yarder. Three plays later, Lester broke three tackles against the tiring Bulldogs defense on his way to a 20-yard touchdown run that put Auburn up 24-0.
Cox kept several Auburn drives alive with crucial completions on third down, usually to wide receiver Courtney Taylor, who had nine catches for 103 yards.
Cox began the scoring with a 6-yard touchdown pass to tight end Gabe McKenzie with 1:07 remaining in the first quarter and finished off his day with a 20-yard pass to Rodgeriqus Smith with 1:45 remaining in the third quarter to put the Tigers up 31-0.
He completed 18-of-27 for 249 yards with no interceptions.
As expected, the Mississippi State offense struggled. For the second consecutive week, the Bulldogs were essentially held out of their opponents' territory.
Mississippi State has advanced beyond the 50 four times this season. Turnovers accounted for two of those possessions, which resulted in missed field goals. And twice the Bulldogs have had the ball at their opponents' 45, earning that field position once in each loss.
Rutland, a redshirt freshman making his first start after the team's regular quarterback broke his collarbone, completed 12-of-25 passes for 82 yards.
The Tigers held the Bulldogs to 161 total yards and forced three turnovers. It was their sixth consecutive win over Mississippi State.

Use a static tester, it basically is a light inside a housing to check to see if there is electricity with one end grounded the light will come on if you have electricity there. Attach one end to a ground and with the other check to make sure you are getting voltage to the brake light switch, you can also check all the fuses with it. Does the third brakwe light work?
Yes the center brake light is working, I have voltage at the light brake light switch, my turn signals work, my tail lights work, but I have no voltage to the brake lights. I have a trailer hook up too, I have voltage for the tail lights, the flashers, but no voltage for the brake lights. Is there another seperate plug for this, that could of came off?
Comming out of the brake light switch there should be two wires that have voltage when the brakes are applied on is for the third brake light and the other for the stop light. Check where the trailer connections are, for any correded or split wires.
Well I checked everything. Could not figure it out. Took it to my regular mechanic. It wound up being the turn signal switch. It shorted out. Cost me $200.00 parts and labor to get repaired. Whata ya gonna do huh. Thanks to all answers

text: I agree that the Werra cameras are a beautiful (and slightly quirky) design. The tessar and flektogon lenses have an especially nice character to them. The flektogon lens can vignette slightly with the prestor shutter so even if you managed to engineer a mounting solution you could find that a problem with an even wider lens. The lens is mounted in front of the shutter unit and I would think this could be the cause of the the vignetting problem. Also the rear lens element must not protrude too far back to interfere with the shutter.

Re: Is there a way I can make my movies download faster in itunes? in response to emburg
This May not be bullseye on your situation but you may make useful of my discovery. Odd as it seems out front, movies and just about any media will download from the iTunes Store much faster directly to your iOS device than it will through iTunes. In fact you can download it to your device then back it up to iTunes and have it there more quickly than it takes iTunes to do it directly.*
My only guess as to why this may be is that iTunes throttles back both in bandwidth and memory usage because of all of the processes a computer has running it the background, that and iTunes is probably recording info, generating thumbnails, making coffee and who knows what the alien bred bully of a program is doing, especially on a windows pc where it always seems to be smiling at you while making you feel stupid.... But I digress.
*this is based on my experiences on a few Windows machines over the last few years, using a high speed DSL connection via century old AT&T wiring.
coolacpc Nov 29, 2013 11:42 AM
Re: Is there a way I can make my movies download faster in itunes? in response to emburg
Hey emburg
if windows then CTRL + ALT + Delete > Task Manager
in Task Manager click on Processes > find iTunes.exe (Quick way just press "i" on keyboard then you have it)
then right click > Set Priority > HIGH
*NOTE : Do not put REALTIME or your computer + network will NOT be Stabled
This Might increse Speed from %15 to %20

As of Thursday, April 4, 2013

With a veteran team returning this season, Riverdale coach William Silveri had some high expectations for his team.
Although the team is sporting a 3-13 overall record, Silveri doesn't feel all is lost with the season.
"We have been a bit up and down this season," Silveri said. "We have played well at times, but we have hurt ourselves with unforced errors."
But at times, the Raiders have shown potential that had the coach excited about his fourth season as coach. Two of the highlights for the season came when Riverdale defeated region contenders Locust Grove (7-5) and Jonesboro (6-2) in back-to-back games last month.
"I've told the guys that if Riverdale takes care of business, we could compete in this tough region," Silveri said.
Senior Tikeem Cooper has been a major contributor to the Raiders with his .548 batting average including 15 RBIs and 24 stolen bases. The coach is also high on freshman Jalen Isom, a catcher.
"He has the potential to do some good things in the next couple of seasons," Silveri said.
Mundy's Mill: The Tigers sit at 9-8 overall and 7-6 in Region 4-AAAAA, but coach Patrick Smith said the team is a lot better than the record shows.
"We have been in a lot of those games that we have lost," he said. "The score is a little deceiving."
Smith said errors have been a big problem in some of the games.
"We are making crucial mistakes at the wrong time," Smith said. "In this region, you can make mistakes against some of these veteran teams. Overall, I think this team has competed well."
Jordan Robinson has emerged as the team's top pitcher. Smith says his record is not an indicator of how well he has pitched, because he usually draws the assignment against the top teams in the region.
"He pitches the tough games," Smith said. "He has kept us in a lot of games."
Smith said that pitcher Darius Wheeler is expected back after spring break from a tail bone injury sustained in a pickup basketball game.
Mount Zion: With the team marred in the midst of a four-game losing streak, coach Kelcey White called a team meeting to get the team refocused.
After the meeting, the Bulldogs went on a three-game winning streak.
"We have been playing a lot better now," White said.
White credits Sam Glickman, Chris Patterson, Aaron Harris, Kenneth Wiggins and Reginald Vaugh with helping turn things around.
The coach is confident the team can make a run at a playoff spot, but said the team has a chance for its third straight winning season.
Last season, Mount Zion made the state playoffs for the first time in school history.
Wiggins is hitting .421 and is considered the team's top pitcher. Glickman is batting .415 while Harris has a .407 batting average.
Vaugh is batting .392 with 16 stolen bases.
"Since our meeting, the team is really responding," said White, whose team has a 9-11 overall record and 5-8 mark in the region. "We want to make the playoffs, but a winning season in this region would be good backup goal."
The Bulldogs have seven games remaining on its schedule.
"We are looking at it as one-game playoffs," White said. "We are treating every game as if it was a playoff game."

Assistant Editor Nick Allen tackles the Movie Love Questionnaire.
The basic idea of "Uncommon Valor" is so interesting that it's all they can do to make a routine formula movie out of it. But they do. The idea: A career colonel suspects his son is still being held as a prisoner of war in Laos, and organizes a team of his son's old Army buddies to go in and bring him out alive.
The story resembles the real-life adventures of Col. Bo Gritz, and has overtones from the scenes in "The Deer Hunter" when Robert De Niro returns to Vietnam to find Christopher Walken. It has real potential for combining action with emotion.
And the first-rate talent assembled for "Uncommon Valor" suggests the moviemakers were hoping to do just that. The director is Ted Kotcheff, who made strong male-action movies such as "North Dallas Forty" and the Sylvester Stallone Viet-vet story "First Blood." And the star is Gene Hackman, who combines heart with threat as well as any actor in the movies.
How, then, did they come up with this forced march through two hours of clichés? The movie rips off "The Dirty Dozen" and countless lesser movies, giving us three basic elements: (1) assembling of the team, (2) rehearsal and (3) the raid. Halfway through the opening scenes, we're saying the lines ahead of the actors.
We know Hackman is going to find most of his son's old buddies. We know they're going to be involved in a variety of peacetime lifestyles. We're not surprised to discover that the buddies include a surfer, a sculptor, a black business executive and a convict. They only left out the Hell's Angel and the priest. Then come the rehearsal scenes, with a mockup of the POW camp. They're necessary to set up the climactic payoff; we see the dry runs so the real thing will seem more exciting.
All of this proceeds with lead-footed predictability. There is an early attempt at intrigue, when we see mysterious CIA types spying on the training sessions. But then they're told off by the Texas millionaire who's financing the mission -- and that's that.
One of the most awkward elements in the movie is the way it springs unsurprising surprises on us. The old veterans are joined in training, for example, by an untried kid. What's he doing there? Would you believe he's the kid brother of one of the missing POWs? I would. In fact, I believed it minutes before Hackman revealed it.
In convincing action movies, the actors never seem to anticipate anything. Surprises happen. The results of violence are unpredictable. "Uncommon Valor," however, is one of those irritating movies where the actors sometimes act in a way that makes sense only if they already know what's going to happen next. They whirl around because they know an enemy is about to appear. They put a series of explosions in the path they know the enemy will take. It's all cut-and-dried. By the time we arrive at the movie's singularly unsatisfying ending, we're ready for somebody to break in and rescue us from the theater.

poor performance for price
By LA
from Mantee, Ms
Purchased in 2012, NOT heavy use (once a month if that) and it died this week. An appliance with this price tag should hold up much longer, particularly with infrequent use. It was great while it lasted, but didn't last long enough to be worth the price. Also, it spatters at any setting above low and the spatter shield does not fit/stay on the bowl well. It is also pretty loud, so consider that if it is an issue for you.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Fantastic product

I recently purchased this mixer and am so completely happy with it. Best mixer I have ever owned. Not only that, KitchenAid's customer service is the best to deal with. Flat beater was not locking on so I contacted them via email. A replacement part was sent out at no charge to me instantly. Awesome!
Love it

Couldn't be happier wire my mixer. Makes things much easier in the kitchen.
Beautiful and works well

I received my KitchenAid mixer as a wedding gift from my grandma. The color I chose (cobalt) is beautiful. The mixer also works well. I have yet to have any problems. Everything I have made has turned out great! I especially like the dough hook and kneading function for breads. However, if you make muffin or cake batter with the paddle attachment, be sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula or spoon, as the paddle doesn't reach all the way to the bottom and that part doesn't get mixed very well.

This was an early Christmas gift that I recieved back in October. I have always used small, cheap, hand held mixer. My mom kept trying to get me to buy one because she had one & loved it so. I finally gave in to her and told my husband he could go ahead and get me one. (He had also been trying to convince me). I am so glad that they both persisted. I love it so much and I just wish I had not been so stubborn about it.. Baking has never been so easy, especially during the holiday season..Loving it still...
Great Buy

Bought this mixer to replace another KithchAid mixer (Classic 4.5 qt.), because this one is more stylish. Love the power plus works better with glass mixing bowl.

Should have bought this many years ago. I absolutely love it! I no longer stress when I make pignoli cookies. It has made baking a pleasure.
