How can you fix transparency less than 100% when drawing multiple shapes with the pencil tool?

I draw a (fill only) shape at 50% with the pencil tool and when I go to draw another, the transparency jumps back to 100%. I would like it to stay at 50% for every mark I make, anyone know how? I wish to build up multiple semi-translucent vector shapes like in the attached image.
Many Thanks.
Mark

In the bottom of the Appearance Palette, toggle the (deep breath) New Art Maintains Appearance / New Art Has Basic Appearance button (pant pant).
I leave it to you to do three things:
1. Figure out which state of that stupidly-designed single button means which setting.
2. Figure out if the stupidly-designed tooltip that appears when you hover over that stupid button means:
A. ...that what the tooltip reads is the current setting, or...
B. ...that what the tooltip reads is the setting you will get if you click the stupidly-designed single button.
3. Remember what you figured out the next time you need to visit that stupidly-designed button.
Adobe doesn't understand this is a simple yes/no decision, and that a far more intuitive simple labeled checkbox will do.

How can you set up more than one device on iTunes? I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices. I have all my music/videos on iTunes on my mac book pro. Can you set up separate folders for each device and drop in what ever music/videos from the main iTunes library?

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
