Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Dominic Devito Make your time behind the wheel count Nobody likes to waste time being lost, so the pros at Magellan developed the feature-rich RoadMate 5255T-LM portable GPS navigator to help you travel more efficiently. Not only does it offer a generous 5" screen and AAA content, but you'll discover that new features like traffic camera alerts and Landmark Guidance are real life savers. Enjoy a handy 5" display The 5255T-LM guides you through maps of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, plus 7 million points of interest, on its 5" touch display. Voice prompts announce street names at turns, and lane guidance will ensure that you're in the right place for upcoming maneuvers. Detailed views show you precisely where to go, so you can navigate through complicated intersections. You can choose landscape mode for a better view of the surrounding area, or switch to portrait mode for a more extended view of the road ahead. The Landmark Guidance option gives you spoken directions based on buildings as well as street names. For instance, you'll hear "turn left at the Exxon station at Commonwealth Drive," instead of "Turn left at Commonwealth Drive." You can look out for easy-to-recognize logos and colors rather than hard-to-spot street signs, and pay closer attention to the road ahead. Free lifetime map and traffic updates Don't get slowed down by congestion or out-of-date maps that lead you astray — the 5255T-LM offers free lifetime updates for traffic and maps. You'll get quick feedback on traffic along your route in most metropolitan areas so you can find a better away around the tie-ups, and you'll also get up to four free map updates a year to make sure your navigator stays current. Traffic camera alerts Magellan also includes the PhantomALERT camera alert service with your purchase of the 5255T-LM. You'll receive audible and visual warnings of approaching speed and red-light cameras along your route. For an additional fee, you can receive alerts for known enforcement areas (speed traps), as well as road locations with high accident rates. AAA TourBook listings help you find recommended destinations. Helpful road tips from AAA The included AAA TourBook® features give you instant access to service details and recommended destinations from the leading travel resource. If you're a member, you can quickly access a phone listing for AAA Roadside Assistance™ in case of emergency — you'll also get your exact GPS location so help can find you quickly. More extra features Ever get stuck driving around in a city looking for an open parking lot or garage? The 5255T-LM's "Best Parking" feature quickly shows you nearby garages, along with hours of operation and directions to the entrance. And you'll find that route optimization takes the stress out of running errands by showing you the most efficient way to hit multiple spots on the same excursion. Magellan's OneTouch™ menu lets you save your favorite destinations and searches so you can pull them up without scrolling through multiple screens. You can connect a rear-view camera to the 5255T-LM through its built-in A/V input and use your Magellan's screen to see what's behind you. Magellan does not include a connection cable for the A/V input.

Magellan RoadMate 5255T-LM I opted for this unit because of the 5" inch screen size (that's all the room I have), the integrated/matched backup camera and the price. The installation went without a hitch. It went downhill from there. I finally uninstalled the system and exchanged it for the Garmin 560LMT. (More about that below). My major disappointments with the 5255-LM 1. Locating the GPS satellites took 2-5 minutes. It also had to intermittently re-acquire the satellite signal on the open road making navigation a nightmare. As a comparison, the Garmin 560LMT had none of those locating problems in the same vehicle and acquired the signal even inside the garage. 2. The back-up camera is simply inferior. Wouldn't you think they'd match a camera with the proper aspect ratio? Instead cars are real wide and people are fat... It also does not offer a distance scale in the image making distance estimation difficult. 3. If you travel anywhere in Mexico, there is currently no map add-on available for this unit. The only pro left is the price. My replacement system (with which I am very happy) is the Garmin 560LMT which offers a camera input that senses if a signal is coming from the camera. The back-up camera that works splendid with the Garmin is a Pyle PLCM18BC (with distance scale) available for around $30. So instead of a poorly performing and ill matched system, I spent about $50 more for an identically size system the performs wonderfully. Pros: price Cons: poor signal acquisition, poorly matched camera 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Disappointed in Magellan Roadmate 5255 Written By RG, Silver Spring, MD on Sunday, September 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This review is not a reflection on Crutchfield. The product was delivered in a very timely manner. I am very disappointed in the quality of the product and its display. The contrast is very dim and during the day any little bit of light on the dashboard makes it impossible to see anything on the screen. Had to purchase a visor for the screen (add another $20 to the cost) which helps a little. Pros: display at night is okay. Camera shows nice picture but even then, the speed of the wireless picture skips around. Nothing good to say about any features. Camera is a very nice feature to have and was one of the main reasons for getting this product. However, you have to go very slow when reversing so the picture keeps up with you. Cons: Very disappointed with the overall product. Loved the Garmin that I had for 5 years till it went bad. Got this one for the features like lifetime maps updates and traffic reports. Found out later I needed to buy another hardware item to get the traffic reports. 8 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice Product Written By Jim, Central NY on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Does everything advertised reasonably well. Pros: Auto on and off is very nice. Lots of POI's . Price is reasonable. Cons: The quality of the backup camera is only so so but usable and replaceable. Light levels are too bright after dark if adjusted high enough for daytime use. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Magellan Roadmate 5255T-LM Written By SueW, Baton Rouge, LA on Monday, June 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was a Father's Day gift. It took only 15 minutes to install and it is very easy to use. The GPS and the backup camera are so great; it was the best gift. It was installed on a truck that is used to pull trailers and boats. The backup camera makes it a breeze to line up perfect every time. Pros: We just installed it because it is a "Father's Day Gift" so we are still checking out all of the featrues. GPS and camera is great and the price is so reasonable! Easy to intall and use! Cons: It works best with the GPS in the middle of the truck. Installed on the left side of the windshield driver's side and the reception kept breaking up with the backup camera. Not a big deal; we just moved it by the rearview mirror and it is good to go. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Magellan Roadmate 5255T-LM: Good unit for the price. Written By CS, DC Metro on Monday, May 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was interested in the 5255T-LM because of the wireless backup camera and the affordable price point. After eight months of use I am satisfied overall with the unit. In September 2012, we installed this unit in a 2013 Volvo S60 T5 AWD by tapping into the reverse light wiring right at the tail light. The unit can be delayed several seconds before engaging into reverse. The night vision of the camera is almost nonexistent so think of this camera as a daytime park assist device. The wireless frame rate is slow so there is a noticeable stutter, but if you are backing to a wall or parallel parking the camera does fine. The camera has to mount to a license plate and while this is good for ease of installation it limits creative camera placements. I have used Garmin devices for years and this was my first Magellan. On a trip from DC to a small section of New York City, the Magellan responded very well. The unit also performed well in DC / MD / PA / NJ / NY / VA / OH and around Detroit, MI for the 2013 auto show. The voice prompts were often and when needed. The display of road signs mimicking the actual signs on major interstates provides a nice user experience. The user interface is fairly easy to use, yet it could be a little more intuitive. Once you use it a few times it is fine. Crutchfield's description lists lifetime maps as included but I have not been able to sort out how to do it for free via Magellan's Content Manager software (Magellan wants $79). Pros: Frequent voice prompts are helpful in unfamiliar areas; easy to read maps; a thin case with an easy to use windshield mount. This is a good unit with the basic features needed to take vacations and trips to new destinations. Cons: At night, the brightness does not go low enough and in order to eliminate a distractive reflection on the windshield, you will need to either buy or make a hood to block the light emitted from the unit. I would have liked to see longer cables for a cleaner installation; an included hard-wire kit for the vehicle would have been nice. Backup camera nighttime performance is poor but it was a free camera. Windows CE is a bit slow and I had a system failure that required a hard reset. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No magellan roadmate 5255t-lm Written By MaeS, Foster, KY on Thursday, May 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Magellan Roadmate 5255t-lm is an excellent gps. The screen is big enough to see and not block your view on your windshield. This gps contains all the features of the more expensive gps's without the big price. I would recommend it to anyone. Pros: Nice size viewing screen. Also like that it informs the driver many times before they need to make the turn. Comes on quickly. Cons: Would like to see more of the viewing area when backing up. Also would like for the picture to be more clear and not have a stretched look. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No I would pass on this one Written By Varun, Milwaukee on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not the best GPS i have used,pretty slow to start with.Sometimes the boot up takes more then 2 min. The worst part is the touch screen it's too slow ,wireless camera is not bad but the installation is tricky probably not a DIY ,a night vision would have been a good addition . Pros: wireless camera Cons: slow,non responsive touchscreen 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Lackluster Written By ML75, Huntsville on Sunday, May 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am being kind with two stars, giving one star for the GPS and one star for the back up camera. 1+1=2. I cannot believe that a company with a name like Magellan would release a product like this for sale. The GPS is extremely slow to reroute, navigating the menu unfriendly and even brand new out of the box did not recognize a road in TN that has been there for five years (major four lane state hwy). Worst back up camera ever, about a two second delay before the screen would come on, and would occasionally exit out of back up mode while still in reverse. Pros: Good concept. Cons: Poorly executed the good concept. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Magellan RoadMate 5255T-LM Written By George C, Bailey, CO on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this unit myself on my 2010 Dodge Ram, which included the backup camera kit. Installing the unit was pretty easy but it took about 6 hours. The vast majority of that time was spent stringing wires and purchasing additional materials to secure the transmitter for the backup camera to the inside of the left hand rear turn signal housing. This probably took a full two hours longer than needed as I tend to be a be of perfectionist. Once installed the GPS worked flawlessly but the operation of the camera left a bit to be desired. The camera often does not come on when the car is placed in reversed or there is a lag of about 3 to 6 seconds even though the signal on the GPS unit shows a solid 5 bars of reception. On ocassion the picture is sometimes lost and takes few seconds for it tro restore itself which could be a problem if using this unit while backing into a tight space. I bought this unit primarily for the backup camera to assist when hooking up my trailer so no big deal if it does not work perfectly but I had hoped it would work better. Pros: GPS works great and I like the traffic features as well as the traffic light camera alerts. Graphics are much improved over my Magellan Maestro unit I purchased in 2007 that this unit has replaced. If I had to rate just the GPS unit I'd give it at least 4 stars. Cons: Should provide a 110V charging adapter as well as carrying case to store the unit in when not in use. Backup camera leave a great deal to be desired. If I had to rate just the backup camera unit I'd give it 2 stars. 6 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Magellan RoadMate 5255T-LM Written By Alma, South Heights, PA on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 Not at all happy with this unit. Backup camera does not always connect, especially when I need it the most. The GPS sometimes take ten minutes to find a signal if at all. I can put my smart phone next to it and my phone connects immediately. Well not buy another one and am actually looking for a replacement. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No GPS w/camera Written By JJS, Spartanburg, SC on Monday, March 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great, backup camera not very good at night in areas with low light. With my Honda Ridgeline the reverse lights shine to the outside. Still looking for the night driving display mode on the GPS. Adjusting brightness is all I've found so far. Pros: Great GPS. Does not repeat re-calculating. Cons: Display too bright for night driving. There has to be a night and day auto mode. How do I find it? Crutchfield response on Monday, March 11, 2013 We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No works for me Written By P, Albuquerque, NM on Saturday, January 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this mostly for the wireless camera. It literally took 15 min to install on my '04 Tundra. The camera works fine, with approx. 2sec delay when shifting to reverse. I like the way the camera adjusts and has a very wide view angle. The GPS unit works fine with no issues finding satellites (perhaps our sky is larger than some big city folks'...). Really, I have had no issues with the device. I'm not thrilled with the Magellan software and update process but otherwise I am very pleased with the purchase. Pros: camera, gps features Cons: software 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Not a satisfactory navigation system Written By Martha, Vienna, ME on Thursday, December 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed the Roadmate on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe - took about 2 hours. As a backup camera it seems adequate. However, as a GPS it is unacceptable. Like other reviewers, we have found it takes a LONG time to connect to the satellites. Next, it puts our address at least 1/4 mile away. For one trip it wanted us to take a woods road (it was a road 50 years ago), but Google Maps also tends to like that road. But the most frustrating thing is that the ETA for every trip we calculate is inaccurate - always at least 15-20 minutes too long. Have had a Garmin for years and it has always been extremely accurate in calculating ETA. I have contacted Magellan to try to get an explanation and although they have been polite and fairly prompt in responding, their reasons for the inaccurate ETA are totally unacceptable (make sure my clock has the accurate time). Probably won't return it since the primary reason for getting the unit is the backup camera. But I will also have my Garmin with me for all major trips. Pros: convenient having backup camera and GPS in one unit. Cons: GPS is not acceptable unit 11 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Crutchfield - A+, Magellan - F Written By Rob L, South Carolina on Friday, December 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Like a previous reviewer, I was also excited about a GPS with an integrated backup camera (I tow a boat with a Tahoe). The backup camera installed in about 15 minutes and the quality was (just) OK in daylight. I did not find a second or two lag time to be a problem. Now... as a navigation unit... that's another story. The user interface was fine - I actually like the address lookup and prompting compared to Garmin's approach. That's about all I can say positive about the GPS functions. The unit is extremely slow to boot up and never took less than three minutes to acquire satellites - often it was ten to fifteen minutes and on more than one occasion the unit never did acquire satellites. (This was mounted on the dashboard under the rather large windshield of the Tahoe with no tall buildings or obscuring trees around.) One of the few times it did find satellites; it wanted to take us about ten miles out of the way to get home from our local Wal-Mart. The unit would accept my street address (in a well-established neighborhood), but there was apparently no street in front of my house. Leaving the house, the instructions would begin with, "Proceed to [my street name] and continue to [the next corner]." The "dashboard" instructions were confusing - for example, if there was a turn in our route five miles ahead, the indicator would show a straight-ahead arrow and 3 miles rather than the turn arrow and five miles. I returned the unit and purchased a Garmin of the same size with th Pros: Backup camera Cons: Everything else 13 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good idea; needs more work Written By disappointed, Wichita, KS on Friday, November 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had wireless back up cameras and other gps systems in the past, but not all in one unit such as this one. The idea is fantastic but it really needs a little more work. I installed it on a Honda Crosstour (that was a mistake, more than bargained for) since the license plate is on the hatch back, but the backup lights are on rear side panels of the car. Rating the Magellan backup camera; there is quite of a delay (~3 secs) when putting the car in reverse before the view would show up on the gps unit. Plus there are no backup phantom lines within the view, not like that's a big deal. But it would have been nice. The night vision on this camera is horrible; yes I know it doesn't have IR. But at night with the naked eye you can at least see a little bit of my driveway with the street lamps. Through the backup camera, that little bit of light from the street lamp is nonexistent. Rating the Magellan gps unit, I'm not impressed. It takes longer to lock onto satellites when coming out of the garage, a lot longer than my Garmin unit. And the worst of all, the street that I live on is not in the GPS! My street has been there since 2005, and it's still not in the Magellan data base?!?! I didn't have any problems with my Garmin, it showed right up. I called Magellan and they said that it would be added in the next update, but that doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. What are the chances that next time I use this GPS, I would be able to find small streets at all?!?! Pros: one unit for dual purpose. lifetime map & traffic. Cons: map not complete with small streets and backup camera needs to be CCD instead of the cheap CMOS for better night vision capabilities. 9 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

It receives tracking signals from numerous satellites, updating your position once per second. This receiver provides positioning accuracy down to 3 to 5 meters (10-16 feet). GPS Antenna: The portable navigation unit features an integrated multidirectional GPS patch antenna adding to its sleek design. The first time you use the Magellan RoadMate it may take up to 4 minutes to compute your location under normal conditions. With adverse conditions (not having a clear view of the sky) the time to compute your location the first time can increase. GPS Positioning: Setting a GPS position is useful if you are not getting satellite information quickly because the Magellan RoadMate 5255T-LM+BUC has traveled over 500 miles while turned off. Setting the GPS position will allow the unit to compute which satellites are available and calculate the position quicker. GPS Status Screen: The GPS Status screen uses green bars to indicate that the Magellan RoadMate 5255T-LM+BUC is using certain GPS satellites to compute the position. Orange bars indicate that the Magellan RoadMate 5255T-LM+BUC is trying to lock onto a satellite signal and no bar shown indicates a satellite that is not being tracked. The longer the bars, the better the signal. Note: Please note that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is a receiver only and does not transmit GPS location signals. Neither the receiver nor the vehicle can be tracked using the Magellan RoadMate receiver.Map Data: The RoadMate 5255T-LM+BUC comes with detailed maps and destinations of the United States (including Alaska & Hawaii), Canada, and Puerto Rico, preloaded onto the built-in flash memory. Map upgrades are available for purchase from the Magellan website (www.magellangps.com) using the Magellan Content Manager and can be downloaded to the internal memory. Free Lifetime Map Updates: The Magellan RoadMate 5255T-LM+BUC includes free lifetime map updates. Lifetime Maps entitles you to receive up to four map updates per year, for the life of the GPS navigation unit or until Magellan no longer receives relevant map data (whichever is shorter). An Internet connection and Magellan's Content Manager software is required. The updates will be the same geographic map data originally included with your Magellan product. In some instances, the Magellan unit might not have sufficient memory remaining for you to load an update, in which case you will need insert a microSD card in order to expand memory. Lifetime Maps may not be transferred to another person or another Magellan product. 5.0" Touchscreen Display: The unit features a large anti-glare, 5.0" WQVGA touchscreen display which can be viewed horizontally or vertically. The display's brightness can be adjusted for easy nighttime and daytime viewing. With the Auto Night Mode, the screen will automatically change from bright colors in daytime to dark tint colors for nighttime use. Map Screen: When a route has been calculated, it will be displayed on the Map screen in green with small arrows indicating the direction of travel. The top of the screen displays the name of the street that comes next in your Turn List together with its distance. If you are not in the city in which the next street is, the name of the city is displayed instead. As the route progresses, voice alerts will be used to prompt you of upcoming maneuvers. Map View Options: The portable GPS unit allows you to the following map views. 2D Map: Two dimensional view of map which displays the top of the screen in either the direction of your heading or direction pointing North. 3D Map: Three dimensional view of map which displays the top of the screen in the direction of your heading. Map Screen Modes: There are two unique modes that the Map Screen can be displayed in - Normal and Routing. Normal: In Normal mode, your position is shown on the map along with the time and your speed. As you travel, your position will be updated, giving you a clear view of your position and surrounding streets. Routing: In Routing mode, additional information is displayed, providing you with more detailed information about the route you have selected. In the routing screen, you can view the name of the current street, plus the street name for the next maneuver, POI icons, and distance to next maneuver. You can toggle between the distance remaining to reach your destination, approximate time remaining until the destination is reached, and the approximate time of day to arrive at your destination. Note: You can set the navigation unit's map to automatically zoom in to the lowest level when coming up to a turn. Highway Lane Assist w/ Junction View: The RoadMate 5255T-LM+BUC will display realistic images of highway signs and arrows that guide you to the correct lane as you approach a highway interchange, giving you a visual indication of which lane you should be in. This makes driving on the highway a lot easier, safer, and less stressful. Maneuver List (Itinerary): Each line of the Maneuver List screen provides details about the maneuvers in the order that they are to be made. The bottom bar of the Maneuver List screen indicates the distance and time to the next maneuver as well as the total distance computed for the route. The Maneuver List can be modified if you want to exclude one of the maneuvers to avoid traveling on one of the streets listed. Current Location Screen: The Current Location screen displays approximate address information, the distance from the next and previous cross streets, as well as your latitude and longitude. There is also a compass point in your direction of travel, calculated elevation and speed. Text-to-Speech w/ Landmark Guidance: The RoadMate 5255T-LM+BUC is equipped with Text-to-Speech. As you navigate to your destination, the RoadMate 5255T-LM+BUC will announce the names of the street and/or exit ramps that are involved in each maneuver. With the all new Landmark Guidance, you receive directions using landmarks as your guide, making it a more intuitive way to navigate. You'll hear instructions like "In 200 feet, turn left at the Shell Gas Station". You can activate the Smart Volume feature which changes the volume automatically as your speed changes, compensating for road noise. You can select English, French, or Spanish. Note: The Magellan RoadMate can also sound an audible beep, bell, or chime to notify you of an upcoming turn. You can turn this warning tone off, if desired.OneTouch Favorites Menu: The RoadMate 5255T-LM+BUC features Magellan's exclusive OneTouch favorites menu. The OneTouch menu provides quick access to your home address, emergency services, gas stations and addresses or searches you have stored to the OneTouch menu. The OneTouch Favorites menus also provides instant access to your personalized bookmarks of favorite places & POIs. 7,000,000 Points Of Interest (POI): The RoadMate 5255T-LM+BUC offers 7-million points of interests to help you easily find gas stations, restaurants, ATMs, and more. You can search for POIs by entering the name or by selecting from a list of available categories and sub-categories. If desired, you can choose whether or not you want POI icons to be displayed on the map. Branded POIs display your favorite coffee shops, restaurants, and more by their respective logos. Highway Exit POIs provide a listing of restaurants, gas stations, auto repair shops or hotels near approaching freeway exits.

The Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera System includes a rear-view camera with integrated license plate mount, a wireless transmitter, wireless receiver, and 12-volt power adapter. Note: The wireless back-up camera has a range of approximately 45'. Great for most cars, vans, trucks, and small trailers. Rear View Camera: The rear-view camera provides a mirror output, so whatever the driver sees on the right side is what is on the right side of the vehicle. The back-up camera employs a CMOS imaging sensor with a resolution of 640 x 480. It provides a wide angle view of 120° horizontal x 100° vertical, so you can see people and objects coming into view behind your vehicle. The rear-view camera mounts to your vehicle's license plate and connects to the included wireless transmitter. Wireless Transmitter: The back-up camera mounts on your vehicle's license plate with the 2.4GHz wireless transmitter located in the truck or other protected area of your vehicle. The wireless transmitter is weather proof and water resistant (IPX4 rating). The back-up camera attaches to the transmitter via a DC cord and composite video cable. The transmitter also requires a power/ground connection to your vehicle's reverse light circuit. The wireless transmitter will wirelessly transmit the back-up camera's video signal to the system's wireless receiver. Wireless Receiver: The 2.4GHz wireless receiver mounts at the front of your vehicle, next to the Magellan RoadMate GPS navigator. The wireless receiver connects to the Magellan RoadMate GPS navigator via a 3.5mm A/V connector. The wireless receiver then receives the back-up camera's video signal wirelessly via the connected wireless transmitter and displays the signal on the connected Magellan RoadMate GPS navigator's screen. 12-Volt Power Adapter: The Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera System includes an 12-Volt/cigarette lighter power adapter to power the wireless receiver and the Magellan RoadMate GPS navigator.

Vote Tim Carroll
I feel that I should be elected to Newberry County Council District One because I am caring and dedicated to improving the lives of our citizens and communities in Newberry County.
Being a lifelong resident of Newberry County and raising a family here constantly reminds me that I need to try to always make a difference. This is "my home". Thus, for the past 20 years I have tried to do just that by serving my community and Newberry County.
With my leadership, I will work toward more and better paying jobs, improving and expanding our Senior Citizen services, promoting Newberry County Hospital and 24 hour ambulance service throughout the county. I would like to see our volunteers in the fire and rescue services better compensated for their dedication to the safety of the citizens of our county, continue to support our public school, Piedmont Technical College, and Newberry College. I would like to expand natural gas, cable, water, and broadband internet in our county.
If elected, I plan to hold community meetings in different areas of the district to find out the desires and needs of our citizens. The voters of Newberry County can be assured that I will always be a voice for them.
As Mayor of Whitmire, my first accomplished goal was to bring cell phone service to the Whitmire area. We now have Alltel, Verizon, and AT&T. Also, while I was Mayor our town received over 24 grants and awards totaling $4,500,000.00, which ,made improvements to our water and sewer systems, parks and recreation, new equipment, and vehicles for our police department, and a total make-over of our down town. If elected, I will work to help attain grants throughout our county.
This election day, I ask for your vote and support. May God bless your families, our district, Newberry County, and our great country.

Recipe by Stephanie Knewasser
"I tried several Belgian waffle recipes after getting my iron. In the end, I combined my 1st choice with my husbands favorite to come up with this recipe."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

egg yolks
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup
1/4 cup
butter, melted
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 tablespoon
white sugar
1/4 teaspoon
egg whites
1 pinch
ground cinnamon
I was feeling lazy and didn't separate the egg whites from the yolks - also, I didn't have buttermilk, and once again, feeling lazy, didn't feel like making the substitute, so I used 2% milk instead. The waffles STILL came out delicious - this has been the best tasting recipe that I've tried since getting the waffle iron - and we've tried several different recipes.
I was actually very dissapointed with this recipe- it's not that it didn't taste good- as far as home made waffles go it's ok- but I usually make whole grain waffles with a quarter of the fat and healthy flour and oats- nutritionally way better for you and the taste of those waffles are far superior to this recipe- I was expecting something miraculous tasting with all the white flour and butter and it just fell flat for me

As someone who grew up on Belgian Waffles (mostly Bisquick) I have to say this is most definately a 5-star recipe. ***** I whipped the egg whites first (used my KitchenAid mixer the whole time), that way I could use the same bowl to mix everything in after I took the whites out. I used SmartBalance spread instead of butter and upped the cinnamon to 1 tsp or so. I also used instant buttermilk powder & water. **** I have a giant waffle maker that makes 4 large Belgian waffle squares at one time. I was leary about the original yield of this recipe...only 3? Who eats only 3 waffles in a family? This recipe yeilded 8 big fat squares, not just 3. Being pregnant, I ate 4 squares and my daughters each ate 3 between them...with 1 left for my hubby when he gets home. lol! **** Anyway, this is a superb recipe. Make sure to mix the egg whites in very well (gently). Finding large egg white clumps is not the most pleasant experience.
I doubled this recipe. I used "soured" milk and I upped the baking powder to three teaspoons. Also, my "pinch" of cinnamon is probably bigger than your average pinch would be. Other than that, I kept to the recipe. Out of a doubled recipe, I got 12 full sized regular waffles (and that means that I used one of those four-count basic wafflemaker and none of them were cheated out of batter). These waffles were crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I served these with Absolute Best Pancake Syrup, which is also on this site. This was one of the top waffle recipes I've tried from this site, I think the buttermilk and the touch of cinnamon make this recipe.
These waffles were fantastic and very easy to throw together. I would recommend, as some other reviewers have, of increasing the cinnamon to up to 1 teaspoon. I didn't have buttermilk, so I just used regular skim milk and they still turned out just fine. Delicious with cinnamon-flavoured syrup.
You'll never buy frozen waffles again! They're actually better after they've been frozen. Defrost them in the microwave then pop 'em in the toster. Just sprinkle a little powered sugar on top instead of syrup and you won't overpower the waffle. But if you must use syrup, then splurge on "real maple syrup" instead of bottle of fake "pancake syrup".
I substituted 1% milk with 1 TBS. of lemon juice for the buttermilk, increased the cinnamon to 1 tsp. and added a sprinkle of nutmeg. They're light and tasted good.
These were very good. I doubled the recipe and there were only two left over by the time my boys got finished with them. I did not have time to worry about separating the eggs so just put them in whole; however I do think they would have been fluffier had I beat the egg whites as instructed. I also increased the cinnamon (we really like cinnamon) and added a dash of fresh grated nutmeg. We will definitely make these again.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I understand the fact that Lefty throws are the exact opposite of right handed. I am a backhand thrower that is interested in finding about three new discs to try out to get a little more accurate and what every player wants, distance off the tee. My bag is light consisting of a Star Katana, a san marino rock, Z-Flick, a buzzz, an Epic, and a pro Valkyrie. I use to have a tee bird but I only used that for anhyzer shots. I am looking to expand my disc selection for a better anhyzer, a straighter flying disc (wont cut right as much as the Katana seems to) and I am also looking for a bomb off the tee Thumber disc, I have a Z-Flick and I love it other than the fact that in three months I have gone through two and neither can fly the same as a fresh one for thumber throws. Let me know! All feed back is great! I know alot of people would say to try out a bunch of discs but sadly I am poor so 3 to 4 discs a month is all I can afford to do.
Views: 812
I would suggest a Roadrunner for straight and anhyzer shots...it should turn over if thrown flat, and should do a nice S-curve if released slightly hyzer to flat. This is a great disc for newer players regardless of whether or not you throw righty or lefty.
For a thumber, I would suggest a Firebird and a Flick (which you already have). In addition to a Monster and an Avenger, those are the two best thumber discs I know of...
Well I was a thumber player for long time, I throw about max 300ft (I started backhand about a month ago) and hyzer because the only driver I use is the Star Katana. I will grab me a champ Katana. I have seen the sidewinder in action and I'll give that a go as well. Thanks for the advice.
My Star Roc is what I use it works fine for putting

tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges
2 large
cucumbers, peeled and sliced
1 large
red onion, chopped
1/4 cup
chopped fresh cilantro
juice of 1 fresh lime
salt to taste
This is a great recipe! To change things up I use tomato, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese and a little italian dressing.
I suppose it was ok, if all you want is some cut up cucumbers, tomatoes with some lime juice on your plate. I ended up adding mayo, lemon pepper an parmesan cheese to it to make it more like an actual salad, rathan than just a pile of cut up veggies. I would give it more stars with my additions, but as the recipe is written, only 2 stars. Its really not much of a recipe.

I love this and make it with a can of black beans added to it - drain and rinse the black beans first...
This is a very tasty salad. The first time I made it I thought it was missing something. The second time I added feta cheese and that made the salad for me!
Cucumber Tomato Red Onion Salad Haiku: "Lovely as written! Cool, colorful, and easy. Lots can be added." Great recipe for a summertime BBQ side dish. Definitely letting it chill in the fridge for several hrs. b4 serving makes it all the better. I've made this many times now, occasionally adding a little EVOO, balsamic vinegar, roasted corn, cumin, black beans -- really, as a base, it's fantastic, but it's equally fun and delicious to make by jazzing it up w/ other goodies.
Very, very good. I added just a dollop of my No-Guilt Zesty Ranch Dip for a little creaminess. I don't want to share it's so good!
Very simple and refreshing recipe. I made it as a side for homemade falafel & pork souvlaki. We like our food spicy so this was perfect! Made exactly as written except used sea salt. Will definitely make again.
Incredibly fresh and delicious and oh so easy! This is my new favorite salad and I will make it often, exactly as written.

Let's not split hairs here. 5-11, 6-10...that's pretty accurate. Much more accurate than anyone else—especially here. I said we'd lose to Cleveland this season and we did. WV and I actually had a pretty lengthy phone conversation in August about the start of the season. We both said that we would lose the first two without question. And we both agreed that if we lost to Cleveland, we were going to be REALLY bad. And we were for the most part. We closed strong but for the most part, we were awful to watch at times. I said the lockout would hurt a lot of teams like Miami and it definitely did. Those OTA's and training camps are crucial for teams like us trying to take the next step. Don't argue that.
That job analogy is dead on. Never did I expect players to intentionally go out there and lay down for their opponents even though I said that it would have been incredibly beneficial to us had we dropped games and landed the top pick. Had we landed the top pick, my views of next season would already be bright. Andrew Luck is a kid that can flip a franchise. Won't happen over night. It won't happen in one year. But Indianapolis will prosper from all of this. And that's a crazy thought when you consider they're about to transition from one Hall of Fame QB to a kid with more potential than anyone we've seen since John Elway. Contrary to popular belief, I am not an Andrew Luck fan. I am not a fan of individual players. I'm a fan of talent and talent that can help us get to where I can't even dream of getting anymore. Andrew Luck has that kind of talent.
You can find what I say as humorous if you wish. That's fine. But I'm clearly more right than wrong. And I known you're the "glass is overflowing" kinda guy and my glass, at the moment is about 1/4 full. We're on opposite ends of the spectrum in that regard. Your issue with me is not that I'm right often times, but rather what I'm right about when it comes to the Dolphins. And believe me, no one hates it more that JCane does. But I've never been a homer. I've always been honest about what this team is. And right now this team has a long way to go so long as we keep ignoring the QB spot and not lucking out like Indianapolis has this year.

Time's Flow - Is Past-Present-Future notion of time an illusion?
I asked about the perspective of decision making, authority or authenticity, in the conversation titled 'What leads us to decide?'
The time perspective of decision making as presented by Philip Zimbardo in his talk 'The psychology of Time' raises questions about the elusive nature of time's arrow.
The arrow of time, or time's arrow, is a concept developed in 1927 by the British astronomer Arthur Eddington involving the "one-way direction" or "asymmetry" of time. Physical processes at the microscopic level are believed to be either entirely or mostly time-symmetric: if the direction of time were to reverse, the theoretical statements that describe them would remain true. Yet at the macroscopic level it often appears that this is not the case: there is an obvious direction (or flow) of time.
Or is it?
Of the 7 arrows of time that we know of (you can check wikipedia here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_of_time) the psychological arrow of time is not a derivative of the thermodynamic arrow in the sense that it involves the linguistic notion of past, present and future and an idea of flow of time.
Flow of time? At what rate? A second per second? Seems non-sense. In his book 'God and the New Physics' Paul Davis describes a hypothetical discussion between a physicist and a skeptic implying our notion of past, present and future and flow of time as illusory. He contends that all time is there laid out on a space-time map where events are all but points with co-ordinates. Some events are causally related, some are not but everything that has happened, is happening and will happen are all there. We need just an efficient calendaring system to date the events and that's about it.
Do you think you can live in a world where your brain state in 2013 records information about events in 2012 because 2012 < 2013 and cannot record information about events in 2014 because 2014>2013?
Is PPF an illusion?
edward long
Apr 19 2013: Time is simply a unit-of-measure. Like meters quantify distance and grams quantify weight, Time quantifies change. One second is defined in terms of the rate of change in a Cesium-133 atom. A Second is a unit of time equal to 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom. When we speak of the Past we are really speaking about what WAS. When we speak of the future we are really speaking about what WILL BE. When we speak of the present we are speaking about what will be becoming what was. How much Time is required for what will be to become what was? Surely the answer is zero. That Zero point, which has no length on the timeline, is what we call the present. The present cannot be spoken of in terms of was, or will be, nor can it be spoken of in terms of is. Every event in the universe either has happened or will happen. No event is happening in the present because there is no present. As you read each word here it moves into the past. The words you have yet to read are in the future. If nothing changed there would be no need for Time.
- +1
Apr 19 2013: Unless you are using metaphors, sir, Change is not a quantity and time is not a unit of measurement of it. Time is a physical dimension and a quantity by itself and second is one of its many units. All units measure intervals so yes points are relevant in time too and I think it is easy to conceive the non-dimensionality of a point for one who learnt geometry. From that basis all instants (events that happen instantaneously) are non-dimensional, be it present or past or future.
One can think of time as an entire chain of presents or now-s but the caveat is that it does not lead to the conclusion that time moves (or flows) rather objects move in time. For a non-moving and non-happening universe time makes no sense.
Question is if we understand that can we give up PPF notion?
Apr 19 2013: We agree that change is not a quantity just as a Second is not a quantity. A Second is (as I said above) a unit of Time. The Second itself has no weight and takes-up no space, it is a Unit of Measure. Change has no weight and takes-up no space so it is not a quantity.
We do not agree that "Time is a physical dimension and a quantity all by itself. . . " as you say. Time has no weight and takes-up no space.
We do agree that in a hypothetical Universe where there is no movement, no change, and absolutely nothing happening there would be no sense in having a concept of Time.
I think I answered your question about the "Present" in the PPF notion. There is no present.Apr 19 2013: I propose supposing that our current physics theories regarding dimensions (1, point, 2, line, 3, 3D reality, and 4, time) how on earth could we imagine the third dimension without the existence of the 4th, without time which brings us movement. Additionally, how could we imagine in contrast the 3rd dimension involving movement without time? And by golly, if the third dimension is 3D reality as we know it, where does the rest of human existence such as our thoughts and personalities come into play?
Perhaps time is related to free will.
Also, perhaps the existance of time and its (possible) relation to free will leads into further dimensions, which beyond the 4th are still debatable, but perhaps these dimensions are based on morality, choice, spirituality and so on. What do you think!?
Apr 19 2013: Wow! The boat is really rocking now! A real wave-maker you. Time is necessitated by Depth? Time is related to Freewill? First off, do we agree that the first dimension (X) in descriptive geometry is Width? The second dimension (Y) is Height? And the third dimension (Z) is Depth? In order to describe a solid object (3-D) I must have an X (width), a Y (height), and a Z (depth) dimension. To describe a shape (2-D) I only need an X and a Y dimension because a shape has no depth. If we agree on that please explain why the Z dimension makes Time necessary. I don't get it. Thank you!
Apr 19 2013: Hmm...I see fault in my logic - you can argue the existence of the first second and third dimensions (I'm seeing a 3D object in my mind here) but are we to propose that the perceiver of these dimensions is in fact out of time? I'm not saying arguably so otherwise, but it would seem that we are concieving notions about for example a 2D object observed and decidedly only in the 2nd dimension, but where are we proposing this observer is from and how is he able to form an analysis of this observation without observing in the dimension of time?
So, in this debate we are only considering the facts of shapes and measureable attributes without regards to what we are able to measure this with. I cannot imagine a 2D object without myself included, and I suppose this is my reasoning why time is a necessary component to be able to understand the dimensions prior to. The creator of these things, without needing to be said, is outside of this relational analysis.
I don't understand a great deal about physics, but I love theoretical physics. When I imagine dimensions, I include the totality of reality with the entire universe as its basis of reasoning with these dimensions that our physics geniuses have thought true. Could you begin to imagine the entire universe as a point? Could you imagine it as a line, perhaps a 2D line script-like production of our magnificant creator? Now, could you imagine it as an unmoving (assuming dimensions build upon one another and movement comes into play with the 4th dimension), an unmoving 3-dimensional picture of universal totality? We can't, at least I cannot.
So, basically I think time is necessary because we are human, we are observers of the prior dimensions leading to our abilities performed inside of time to observe 2D and 3D objects, and we cannot imagine our strengths in a dimension where time did not exist (I am concluding that time in the 4th dimension is where movement begins here).May 12 2013: Maybe, the question has to do with change, I mean whether real change exists meaning change which is truly novel and not just a rearrangements of distinct, pre-existing parts. Another question is, how does time flow, how can it if it is not just present but already past at the same time (so to speak). In order for time to become the past it must be that the present is immediately the past so that the past and present is intimately connected even though the past is not present. I do not believe that all of space-time is all laid out, this is an aspect of the old classical way of thought as completed in general relativity. We can see right away that the world must always be different and can never repeat exactly by the fact that we possess memory which knows the "difference".Apr 22 2013: I think that PPF is indeed an illusion. We only think there is a past because we have memories but in fact, every moment is now.
Apr 22 2013: True. I appreciate the 'now' that made you reflect this on 22 April 2013 6.40 PM Indian Standard Time.Apr 20 2013: Thanks for all comments and insights shared. To make this interesting I'd suggest two things.
1. Humans (may be all sentient beings that we know of) have evolved without any specialized organ (except brain) to perceive time. Not in the sense and manner we have organs to receive signals/stimuli of light, heat, mechanical force, gravity and chemical sensations. Time is all in our minds and its perception can be greatly influenced with psychedelic drugs.
2. If it is a fact that we adopt scientific values in our lives (albeit slowly), a realization that time is an illusion or a mental construct can have profound effect on our creativity, expression, language or even philosophies.Apr 19 2013: Isn't Time relative to one's perceiving it? Then in essence all time is happening right now, in loops. But we are not reliving the aspect of today breakfast or lack there of forever, yet if time travel was around, we could in theory always go back to that time of breakfast eating or missing an it will always be there, but doesn't mean it's always occurring with us in it, is it?
Seems that Past, present and future, should just be called the Present, since if we could travel in time, that's exactly what it would be, our possible present.
What if a new universe is created each time we do something different? Like frames in an animation, each new movement is a new sheet of paper waiting to be recorded and compiled to be a set of action sequenced forming a linear illusion of a movie.
Apr 20 2013: Of course it is. Moreover we live in a physical reality where time is inseparable from any physical quantity. For example whenever we look at night sky we not only see distant stellar objects we also travel into past. We see a 8 minute old Sun perpetually.
I think the idea of time has developed in our consciousness on account of our evolution in an environment where things (including us) move at speeds way slower than that of light.Apr 19 2013: Another interesting notion - I actually have thought that just maybe free will is a dimension all it's own, the 5th dimension. I'm sure you are aware of the other-worlds theory of physics, where each choice we make may branch off into another universe. I don't quite see how this makes sense, other than that we may think of our past decisions with regret or happiness, etc., however, I do think that perhaps the next dimension from time is where we are faced with choice, and we choose. Accordingly, this dimension of free will is where are co-creating and where identity-actualizing reality begins - where are free-will is a part of time and the dimensions before it.
Apr 19 2013: RE: "Hmm...I see fault in my logic -". I agree the concept of Time is necessary for existence on Earth. To prove it is essential try to imagine never using a time related word in your communication with others. You could not use words like: is; was; am; are;will; were; now, before; after; later, earlier; past, present, future, duration; speed, velocity; and scores of other words and phrases that are time related. We could only make statements like: "The grass green", but we could not say: "The grass is, was, or will be green."Apr 19 2013: Edward is basically correct.
Time does not exist, except as a human concept.
As human concepts, time is a very convenient way to refer to the past and make plans for the future.
The past and the future do not physically exist, everything exists only in the present. You could say that the duration of the present is zero, or you could say that the present lasts forever. Both are correct, the difference is just your point of view.
I would consider the arrow of time a useful concept rather than an illusion.
By the way, this implies that time travel is completely impossible.Apr 19 2013: Hello,
I find your comment interesting but I have to disagree that there is no "now" regarding time as we know it. I think a lot of people go about their lives thinking, and you must consider thinking and consciousness in this argument because that is how we gain a perception of time in the first place, thinking anyway about the past or what they will do in 5 minutes, what action they are focusing on currently that is, as action is a verb in of itself, moving them into the future.
The idea of consciousness that I use as an argument is that consider being in this realm of space and time and having no thought, having gained enlightenment to the point where what is, just is and you are not concerned about past, future or how you well you are doing at focusing - you just are. You exist. Does this sense of existance make you yourself a point in spacetime?
I think there is a here and now, a way to be only in the reality and knowledge of said argument that all that exists is, and we are flowing through time, but what with this knowledge you are able to see beyond this annoyance of time observance and just be.

Strong growth and prospects for Mount Charles as rebrand announced
ONE of Northern Ireland's largest indigenously-owned companies announced employment growth of 12 per cent in the last quarter bringing the numbers currently employed close to 1,000.
The announcement comes on the day the company changed its name to The Mount Charles Group Ltd to properly reflect the organisation's growth, potential and diversification ambitions.
Managing Director, independent owner and founder of The Mount Charles Group, Trevor Annon said; "At a time of continuing economic uncertainty and record unemployment levels, I am delighted to report that we are bucking the trend.
"This is testament to the huge strides the company has made in recent years – in particular with the continued growth and success of our cleaning and vending services."
The company today also heralded the early success of its recently launched new retail brand - Fed & Watered café/bar - at The Obel in Belfast. This follows the first Fed & Watered unit which opened at Belfast International Airport earlier this year, representing a brand investment of almost £1M.
The company intends developing this brand throughout Northern Ireland, and negotiations are at an advanced stage regarding the first Fed & Watered to be launched in GB.

Video of the Day: Rita Ora, "Facemelt"
In her new video for "Facemelt," Rita Ora screams she's ready to emblazon her name into the music biz in red neon lights this year. Enlisting world-famous photographer Rankin to direct, Ora embodies head on pop-vixen realness. The song is a full-throttle club hit loaded with clapping drums and a hard-hitting bass line. If it's not playing in the club, it's playing in the wrong speakers.
While Ora's image to date has been driven by a street sensibility and hip hop-inspired coolness, her look in "Facemelt," reaches for a more glamified, made up pop package à la Britney Spears. The combo of her slick hair and tight black corset top with the song's wobbling production makes us think Ora could be kissing her festival days behind and reaching for world arena status. Go ahead, Rita.
