Here's mine, a friend told me once on painting Crown molding to paint the underside of the flat the same color as the wall. After the Crown is painted it's final color, paint the underside flat that is at the bottom the same wall color. This allows you to quickly paint a very nice straight line without much effort because you don't have to worry about exactness. Use a wet T shirt to wipe off any excess above the flat using the moulding break-edge as a guide. Will produce perfect lines on crown moulding. And the wall color underside creates a nice shadow, and it works great if thier is a gap between the crown and wall.

Try it, of course he also told me his best tip - was to hire a pro :-)

I have just installed a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan with light kit and remote control (all came with the fan) and when I press the High setting on the remote, the blades move as though they are on Low. What could be the problem?
