Idaho Criminal Rule 24. Trial Jurors.
(a) Opening statements to the entire jury panel. The parties may, with the courtís consent, present brief opening statements to the entire jury panel, prior to voir dire. On its own motion, the court may require counsel to do so. Following such statements, if any, the court shall conduct a thorough examination of prospective jurors
(b) Examination. Voir dire examination of the prospective jurors drawn from the jury panel shall first be conducted by the court. The attorney for the plaintiff, and then the attorney for the defendant, and then the attorney for each other party to the action shall then be permitted to propound questions to prospective jurors concerning their qualifications to sit as jurors in the action. The voir dire examination shall be under the supervision of the court and subject to such limitations as the court may prescribe in the futherance of justice and the expeditious disposition of the case. Any question propounded by an attorney to a prospective juror which is not directly relevant to the qualifications of the juror, or is not reasonably calculated to discover the possible existence of a ground for challenge, or has been previously answered, shall be disallowed by the court upon objection or upon the court's own initiative. Challenges for cause may be made by an attorney at any time while questioning a prospective juror, or not later than the conclusion of all questions propounded to an individual prospective juror, or the prospective jury if questioned as a whole, except that a challenge for cause may be permitted by the court at a later time upon a showing of good cause. Challenges for cause, as provided by law, must be tried by the court. The challenged juror, and any other person, may be examined as a witness on the trial of the challenge. Whenever a juror is excused by the court in sustaining a challenge for cause, the clerk shall immediately draw another name from the jury panel to fill the vacancy. There shall be no limit upon the number of challenges which may be made for cause by any party, and it shall not be necessary for any co-parties to join in making such challenges. Unless otherwise stipulated in the record by all parties to the action, the entire voir dire examination of all prospective jurors and the court's rulings on all challenges shall be reported verbatim.
(c) Peremptory challenges. If the offense charged is punishable by death, or life imprisonment, each side, state or defense, regardless of the number of defendants, is entitled to ten (10) peremptory challenges. In all other felony cases each side, state or defense, regardless of the number of defendants, is entitled to six (6) peremptory challenges and in all misdemeanor cases each side, state or defense, regardless of the number of defendants, is entitled to four (4) peremptory challenges. In the event,
(1) there are co-defendants and the court determines that there is a conflict of interest between or among the co-defendants, or
(2) if there be alternate jurors, the court may allow any or all of the parties additional peremptory challenges and permit them to be exercised separately or jointly. Any party who waives a peremptory challenge shall be deemed to have waived only that particular peremptory challenge and may subsequently exercise any of that party's remaining challenges as to any juror, provided, if all parties consecutively waive their peremptory challenge, the trial jury shall be deemed accepted by the parties and any remaining peremptory challenges are waived.
(d) Additional jurors.
(1) Selection. The court may direct that one (1) or more jurors in addition to the regular panel be called and impaneled to sit as jurors. All jurors shall be drawn in the same manner, shall have the same qualifications, shall be subject to the same examination and challenges, shall take the same oath and shall have the same functions, powers, facilities and privileges prior to deliberations. If more than one additional juror is called, each party is entitled to two (2) peremptory challenges in addition to those otherwise allowed by law; provided, however, that if only one additional juror is called, each party shall be entitled to one (1) peremptory challenge in addition to those otherwise provided by law. At the conclusion of closing arguments, jurors exceeding the number required of a regular panel shall be removed by lot. Those removed by lot may be discharged after the jury retires to consider its verdict, unless the court otherwise directs as provided below.
(2) Jurors removed by lot. If the court determines that those jurors removed by lot must be available to replace any jurors who may be excused during deliberations due to death, illness or otherwise as determined by the court, then the bailiff, sheriff or other person appointed by the court shall take custody of the removed jurors until discharged by the court; however, if the jury has not been sequestered then the jurors removed by lot may be released by the court with appropriate instructions. In the event a deliberating juror is removed, the court shall order the juror discharged and draw the name of an alternate juror who shall then take the discharged jurorís place in the deliberations. The court shall instruct the panel to set aside and disregard all past deliberations and begin anew with the new juror as a member of the panel.
(3) Disability of juror. If at any time a juror dies or becomes ill, or upon other good cause shown to the court that the juror is found to be unable to perform jury duty, or if a juror requests a discharge and good cause appears therefor, the court may order the juror to be discharged and draw the name of an alternate juror who shall then take the discharged juror's place in the jury box and be subject to the same rules and regulations as though the juror had been selected as one (1) of the jurors.
(e) Use of a struck jury. The court may, in its discretion, cause a panel of jurors to be questioned and passed for cause in a number equal to the number of jurors and alternates required for the final jury and an additional number equal to the number of peremptory challenges of the parties. Such prospective jurors when chosen shall be seated in such manner as to be designated numerically with the lower numbered jurors constituting the initial panel and alternate jurors, and the subsequent numbered jurors becoming the replacement jurors in the event any of the jurors of the original panel are removed by a peremptory challenge.
(Adopted December 27, 1979, effective July 1, 1980; amended March 20, 1985, effective July 1, 1985; amended June 26, 1985, effective July 1, 1985; amended March 28, 1986, effective July 1, 1986; amended June 15, 1987, effective November 1, 1987; amended March 23, 1990, effective July 1, 1990; amended February 10, 1993, effective July 1, 1993; amended May 4, 2001, effective July 1, 2001; amended April 19, 2002, effective July 1, 2002; amended April 22, 2004, effective July 1, 2004)

Voyage-Air at the Top Songwriter Seminar of 2010
Savannah Records' Dave Gibson and Daisy Dern are teaming up to produce Smokin Hit Songwriters - a special two-day seminar geared to aspiring songwriters. Dave Gibson should know his craft: with six number one hits under his belt, and songs recorded by country music greats such as Alabama, Confederate Railroad and Tanya Tucker.
Former Mercury recording artist, and songstress, Daisy Dern will be among the Voyage-Air Guitar players teaching songwriting tips and sharing stories, insights, wisdom, experiences and practical advice about songwriting.
In addition, hit songwriter (and an early Voyage-Air endorser) Chris Wallin will be on hand to share his view about how to make a song a hit. With a catalogue of hundreds of chart topping hits, he'll tell how it feels to write a song like "Don't Blink" recorded by Kenny Chesney.
A panel will judge a special open mic night session for the first 30 participants to sign up for the seminar, and the winner will receive a one hour writing session with Dave.
Sign up soon: this songwriting retreat will be held November 5-7 in the beautiful mountains of Tennessee in Monteagle. It's sure to be a Voyage-Air Guitar weekend, as well as a great excuse to take your guitar to the mountains!

Medical Oncologist
Conditions Treated:
About Me
I am a board-certified medical oncologist with almost 40 years of experience, which included 18 years of community oncology practice. I am also a veteran of the U.S. Army, having served two years of active duty at HQ Allied Forces Central Europe in the Netherlands. I specialize in the treatment of genitourinary cancers, but my primary focus is on prostate cancer. Although the majority of my patients have advanced prostate cancer, I also provide consultation to newly diagnosed patients and those with early stage prostate cancer. I also see patients with cancers of unknown primary origin and, in some instances, patients with strong clinical evidence of cancer, but who are not yet diagnosed. If the final diagnosis involves a cancer outside my field of expertise, I refer these patients to another doctor at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
My experience with prostate cancer led to my interest in investigating bleeding and clotting problems associated with the disease. More recently I have been investigating prostate cancer in men from Jamaica and elsewhere in the Caribbean, a group that is thought to be at particularly high risk.
My focus on prostate cancer led me to write Rx/Dx Prostate Cancer, a reference book for physicians covering current diagnostic procedures and treatment approaches, published in 2007 and updated in 2011.
- Clinical Expertise: Prostate Cancer; Unknown Primary Tumors; Genitourinary Malignancies
- Languages Spoken: English
- Education: MD, Georgetown University School of Medicine
- Residencies: Internal Medicine - North Shore University Hospital; Internal Medicine - New York University Medical Center; Internal Medicine - Manhattan Veterans' Affairs Medical Center

May 5, 2013 at 9:09 am #1302561

So far my main pack has been a MLD Burn and I love it, with a base between 10-12lbs. and typically used for 3-5 day trips.
But this year, beginning with the JMT in August, I've decided thru-hiking needs to be a major part of my life. Next year the PCT.
So I bought a MLD exodus without really thinking about those occasional days when the pack will be tipping 30-35lbs due to extra water, food, canister, winter gear, etc. For example, I plan on not resupplying on the JMT for that last 100 mile section between Muir Ranch and Whitney Portal.
I had planned on using a GG sitpad and my folded Exped mat for the framesheet in the Exodus, however, now I'm wondering if the Exodus FS, despite the cost, would have been a better investment? (I want to stick with MLD).
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has hiked with the Exodus at 30-35lbs, especially that section of JMT. Will the Exodus be only mildly uncomfortable until food weight is reduced? Or, since I will now be hiking longer distances on a regular basis, would the Exodus FS be a significantly better choice?
Obviously I'd rather be fine with the Exodus but transitioning now to a thru-hiker lifestyle I'm prepared to make the investment. And there is still time for me to put in an order.
As always, I appreciate those who take the time to share what they know.May 5, 2013 at 7:22 pm #1983580

First off, I own the Newt, Burn and Exodus, so it's obvious I'm an MLD fan. The Burn is still my go-to pack and the Exodus is great for bulky items but I wouldn't push either one of them over 30 lbs. I've carried up to 26 lbs in the Burn and it was tough on the shoulders for the first few days of the trip. I've carried up to 30 lbs of fishing gear in the Exodus (waders, boots, vest, food, water, clothing etc.) but it tends to collapse under that much weight (sags at the waist belt). Up to 30 lbs is do-able but certainly not comfortable and I only carry that much weight on day trips (fishing trips).
I've recently purchased an Osprey Exos 46 for loads that exceed 20 lbs, and will now only use the Burn for 2-4 day trips where the weight remains under 20 lbs. The Exodus will still be used as my bulky gear carrier as this pack is HUGE. I can't comment on how the Exodus would carry "over" 30 lbs, as I've never had the need to carry that much weight.May 5, 2013 at 7:38 pm #1983585

I have an Exodus and a Burn. As far as your question, I haven't pushed my Exodus beyond 20+ lbs (I just don't get out for more than a few days right now) but I think 35 lbs would be pushing it's capability. I do think 30 would be doable for a few days; not ideal, just doable with sore shoulders at the end of the day. I have held onto an older Granite Gear Vapor Trail for situations where I might have to carry above 35 lbs.
Aside from your question, I don't tend to use the Burn as much because it isn't the weight of my kit (base around 10-11 lbs) but the bulk. I seem to have a harder time fitting everything inside the pack, except on short warm weather trips. I like being able to get everything inside the Exodus with ease. I don't consider the Exodus huge, although maybe my ideal 3-5 day pack would have been a Prophet.May 5, 2013 at 7:49 pm #1983589

I used an Exodus for the start of my AT thru, and once at Damascus I used a Burn until I finished at Katahdin. Heavy over 28 lbs, and in your case I would say perhaps needlessly so. My tied 1st choices would be an HMG Windrider or a ULA Circuit for carrying 35 lbs. Unless you have very strong shoulders, I'd look elsewhere — not even the Exodus FS would seem to cut it for me.May 5, 2013 at 8:04 pm #1983593

My friend, Jeremy, and I did the JMT in 2011 Aug-Sept in 15 days and also did not resupply after MTR.
I had the GoLite Jam 2, older version at 1 lb 6-8oz.
Jeremy had a small Exodus.
We both carried about 31-32 lbs of weight on the final stretch.
It sucked carrying that weight, but the GoLite had a built in 1/4" foam padding in the back and we both carried Gossamer Gear torso pads with the 1/8" thinlight full length pads for additional back support. Jeremy had a Bearikade Scout and I had the larger Bear Vault.
It was miserable for the Jeremy with the Exodus due to a combination of less padding in the back of the Exodus, simply because unlike the Jam2, there is no built in padding, plus he was using a small sized Exodus and really should have had a Medium.
Both of us felt the weight of the shoulder straps cutting into us with all of that weight.
Once we had eaten our food down to the point that we were at 27 lbs did it become tolerable…..25 lbs or less was fine….22-23 lbs was easy cruising.
Our collective belief was that 23-18 lbs was ideal for the pack.
Both of us have been considering the Exodus FS for 30 plus lbs loads for the future.
I have been a bit distressed at the lack of user reviews on BPL and more puzzled on why we have not seen a review on BPL about the Exodus FS or other packs like it, given that the use of an air suspension would be new/exciting/cutting edge in the UL market place.
Bottom line: 30 lbs is tolerable for a short time….35 lbs would seem to guarantee misery. Factor in the time it will take you to consume your food weight to drop you down to 30 to 25 lbs. Then decide for yourself on how many days you are willing to suffer vs. carrying the weight of a different pack that is more supportive.
P.S. Try out an all day hike with 35 lbs loaded into your pack and see how it feels.

Did UCLA Make A Good Hire In Steve Alford While Also Making A Mistake?
Is it possible to have made the right choice in relieving a head coach of his duties, made a strong hire to replace him, and still have made a mistake?
Ben Howland's reign at UCLA, for a variety of reasons, had run its course. Despite this season's Pac-12 regular-season title, the program had been slipping in the wrong direction since Howland brought the last of his three consecutive Final Four teams to San Antonio in 2008. His adversarial relationship with the local prep and AAU scene is well documented, and you can't run UCLA in the long term if you can't recruit Los Angeles. It won't work.
After the Bruins predictably were turned down or not entertained by the likes of Shaka Smart and Brad Stevens, Dan Guerrero found himself in a position many ADs are in these days: Trying to salvage a coaching search. In hiring Steve Alford, who did a terrific job elevating New Mexico to a national level, he found a quality coach who is familiar with the region and actually had become a fallback spot for players who were squeezed out by or wanted to leave Howland's program.
Alford is a legendary player and a good coach with a solid track record of success. Iowa certainly hasn't done any better than when he was in charge and won a couple Big Ten tournaments, and New Mexico has earned a 3-seed in the NCAA tournament in two of the past four seasons while the Lobos regularly claimed league titles in a conference where UNLV, San Diego State and, before they departed, BYU were the fancier names.
There's still reason for concern, though, and ample reason to see through Guerrero's press statement bloviating. Alford is, in a lot of ways, a poor man's version of the coach Guerrero just fired. He has a significant ego. He can be prickly with the media. He hasn't handled increasing expectations all that well, with this past week's bizarrely defensive press conference as a recent prime example.
And despite what Guerrero claimed, Alford does not bring an up-tempo style to Westwood. In his last 11 seasons, at Iowa and New Mexico (as far back as KenPom.com goes), Alford's teams ranked just once in the nation's top 100 in adjusted tempo. That was at Iowa in 2004. Only one of his six New Mexico teams was even in the top 150. Three of his six New Mexico teams were in the top 25 in terms of defensive efficiency. Only one of his teams was on offense. Maybe he'll change his approach when he compiles more "national" talent at UCLA, but there's a pretty clear footprint established, and "up-tempo" is not it. Unless Alford wins very big very quickly -- and UCLA next season, at least, looks like a pretty significant rebuild -- it's hard to see how the highly demanding fanbase will see this as an upgrade.
Alford's move, just a week and a half after he signed a massive 10-year deal at New Mexico and then lost to 14-seed Harvard in the NCAA tournament's round of 64, also creates a really inviting opening in Albuquerque, as well. The Lobos are built to win right now, with a ton of talent returning and a league where several teams will be dropping from this season's standards. The Lobos also have the best fanbase in the league, and the reboot from Alford and the perception of NCAA tournament underachievement, might re-energize them. You'd imagine that assistant coach Craig Neal will get a long look, and maybe he'd be able to snag his son from Saint Mary's in the process. But the Lobos should at least entertain a national search. It's a good enough program in a good enough league to attract some significant interest, and Alford's new deal that now lies in shreds somewhere shows they're willing to pay. Would they be bold enough to call Howland? Kendall Williams may not like it very much, and Howland's ego may not, either, but if a coachswap were somehow completed, it would be hard to argue New Mexico didn't get the better end of the deal.

McNeese State head football coach Matt Viator. (American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Monday, April 14, 2014 1:37 PM
By Warren Arceneaux / American Press
The McNeese football team had a bounce-back season this year, reaching the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs, thanks in part to a reduction in injuries.
Team doctor Dr. Tyson Green of the Center for Orthopaedics spearheaded an effort to reduce injuries on the team by fitting players with custom orthotics, shoe inserts that help increase stabilization. Green will host a free seminar on the inserts.
"We have a meeting on a regular basis with the McNeese coaches. We talk about strength and conditioning, different things involved in that, injury prevention and performance improvement," Green said. "One thing that was suggested was looking at injuries from the 2012 season and seeing if we could do anything to prevent them during the 2013 season. One thing we did was custom orthotics, or shoe inserts, for every player that was invited to camp. We looked not only at what could prevent injuries, but at their individual positions to see if we could improve performance. We saw a drastic decrease in the injury bug and were very happy with that. We also saw a lot more game speed, quickness and acceleration at the different positions. We were pleased with the results of that and are continuing to improve on that each year."
The inserts help prevent a variety of lower leg injuries.
"It keeps the foot stable," Green said. "No matter what foot type there is, it is something that can go inside the cleat. The cleat can only do so much. The inside does not work that well. The insert prevents a lot of excessive motion. If someone has a problem in their foot, it makes their knee have added pressure and leads to ACL tears and other injuries. We made it stable inside the shoe, and that took pressure off the foot, ankle, knee and on up. The most common injuries seen on the football field are ankle injuries and knee injuries. We had ACL injuries left and right, sprained ankles and worse within the ankle. This last year we cut it down significantly. We could identify the injuries this year to a wet field or getting caught underneath somebody, but not just meaningless injuries."
The inserts were customized for each player.
"If you take a certain part of an athlete, whether it is a running back that has to cut really hard, and make the foot able to pivot a little bit easier when they are on the forefoot, up on their toes, you can cut a bit harder," Green said. "It helps them come out of their cuts a little bit easier. For receivers, it is similar, they can come out of the breaks stronger. For linemen, it was more for stance and stability. With quarterbacks, kind of like a pitcher has a mound they can push off against, it was about helping them push off and get more velocity on the ball, with defensive backs backpedaling. They all had different areas of emphasis and different types of orthotics."
Inserts were also made for the women's basketball team.
"They have made a significant improvement for our program and our sport," said McNeese head coach Brooks Donald Willams. "We are very fortunate to have Dr. Tyson Green as one of our team physicians. He takes great pride in progressing our program with custom orthotics. They help our athletes to compete at the highest level, free of constant pain and injury. The orthotics have made a significant difference in relieving pain as well as injury prevention in a sport that has so much wear and tear on the lower extremities from the everyday, year-round, rigorous training."
Green said injuries are more problematic at FCS schools like McNeese, which has fewer scholarships than Bowl Subdivision schools.
"The coaching staff was ecstatic because they had their whole team going into the playoffs, rather than injuries left and right," he said. "At SEC schools, they have stars sitting on the bench. In the Southland Conference, you don't have that depth. If you lose a starter, it is a big part of your team. We have to make sure they stay injury free. The players were very accepting. I was there all the time making modifications all the time. If there was too much rubbing in a certain area, or an overcorrection in the first insert and they had some pain, I could adjust the insert by shaving down a portion of it or adding some cushion to a part of it. There are different materials for where they are going to put pressure. The linemen had something called slow-release Plastazote that allowed their foot to sink into it for stability. The other positions used a harder material, like a carbon fiber. Most of the time we will do a mold of their foot, a plaster mold, to get an exact replica. We send it off to a lab that makes the base of the orthotic. We add any modifications to it once it gets here."
Green said the inserts are part of an effort to prevent injuries.
"We are looking to expand it to different sports," he said. "To do custom orthotics on each player's cleats, and to do positional-based modifications. McNeese is the only school in the country to do that. We are trying to be more preventive rather than reactive."
The inserts can also help people who exercise regularly or play sports recreationally.
"Anybody can benefit from stability," he said. "I wear them in my shoes every day, for standing and walking. We are going to talk about the athletics and everyday walker, jogger, runner, the weekend warriors who play basketball on weekends. What they can do to prevent injury and increase performance. These inserts help with stability and alignment. They vary in price. Some are prefabricated and can run as low as $30-$50. Custom-made ones can be as much as several hundred. We take each case individually."
Learn more about orthotic inserts for athletes from Green at a free seminar at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 15, in the Center for Orthopaedics, at 1747 Imperial Blvd.

Young New Zealanders have become less confident about reaching their retirement savings goals than they were three months ago, according to a survey by ANZ.
The latest Retirement Savings Confidence Barometer, carried out in November and December, found only 46 per cent of 15-24-year-olds felt confident, a drop of 12 percentage points from September and October.
"In the previous survey young people were more confident of achieving their retirement saving goals than those closer to retirement," said John Body, ANZ's managing director of wealth and private banking.
"This time, confidence has levelled across the field."
Body said young people are often daunted by the amounts needed for retirement, but the best approach is to start chipping away.
"Starting to save early in your career will make a considerable difference to the lump sum amount you can turn into retirement income when you reach 65."
With the New Zealand Stock Exchange performing so strongly, it is an ideal time for young savers to be looking at investing in growth assets, he added.
The survey of 1,269 people found overall confidence across the age groups remained flat at 47 per cent, still in negative territory.
Most confident were those in the 25-44-year-old age bracket, of which 52 per cent felt positive.
A large confidence gap was still evident between men and women, with 39 per cent of women being confident compared to 56 per cent of men.
Among the 64 per cent who said they were saving for retirement, more than half were relying on KiwiSaver as the primary means of reaching their savings goals.
Body said many KiwiSaver members are not taking enough interest in how the scheme can help them meet their savings goals.
"KiwiSaver is still relatively new and it has already made a positive impact for people who have never saved before, but there is still plenty of work to be done to help people gain confidence in setting a plan and achieving their retirement goals."
ANZ supports a system where members are automatically placed in default KiwiSaver funds based on their age, with younger people in higher risk growth portfolios and older people in less riskier portfolios, Body said.
But he said the industry also needs to do better at helping members take a more active role in what happens to their investment.
The barometer showed that, of those saving for retirement, 13 per cent chose investment property as the primary means for saving for retirement, and 12 per cent chose an employee or personal superannuation scheme.
The quarterly survey asked people if they were saving for retirement, how much weekly income they would like in addition to New Zealand Superannuation when they retire, and how confident they were about reaching the lump sum they need to achieve their savings goal.
Confidence was measured among those who are saving, planning to save in the future or who expect to have an additional source of income in retirement above New Zealand Superannuation.

The shift towards the empowered consumer and employee is no more obvious than in Asia - particularly in Singapore, where a recent Google study showed that smartphone penetration is a whopping 62% (compared to 31% in the US). In fact, of the 11 countries in Asia surveyed, four of them (Singapore, Australia - 37%, Hong Kong - 35%, Urban China - 35%) had higher smartphone penetration rates than the US (and amongst 18-29 year olds, 84% of Singaporeans had smartphones, compared to 47% in the US!). With many of the more populous countries having young populations (average age: Philippines - 22.9, China - 35.5, India - 26.2, Indonesia - 28.2 - see World Factbook), the gen Y factor is driving employees to question whether the current way of working makes the most sense.
With so many young, mobile and connected employees, it is no surprise that CIOs across the region regularly complain about the company staff self-deploying devices, applications and services from the web or from app stores. The attitude of many IT shops is to shut it down - interestingly, the whole concept of "empowered employees" is quite "taboo" in some countries across the Asia Pacific region. A CIO recently told me that "smartphones and social media have come five years too soon" - referring to the fact he is planning to retire in five years, and that these technology-centric services are proving to be quite a headache for his IT department!

Joining Binding Ends
Stitch the Binding to the Quilt
Prepare binding strips as for double-fold (French-fold) binding, but do not fold under an end.
Beginning in the center of the bottom edge, place the binding strip against the right side of the quilt top. Align the binding strip's raw edges with the quilt top's raw edge, leaving a 10" tail.
Starting 10" from the end, sew the binding to the quilt using a 1/4" seam allowance. Stop sewing when you are within 10" to 20" from where you began stitching. Backstitch at both the beginning and the end.
Measure quilt top's edge. Cut a 6"- to 10"-wide strip of prewashed fabric 2" longer than the quilt's top edge. Fold under 1-1/2" on both ends of fabric strip. Sew 1/4" from raw edges.
Align the Raw Edges
Remove the quilt from under the presser foot and place it on a flat surface. Lay the first binding tail in place on the quilt top, aligning the raw edges. Repeat with the second binding tail. Crease the second binding tail where it meets the first tail's straight cut end.
Measure the Distance
From the crease, measure the distance of the binding strip's cut width. For example, if the binding strips were cut 2-1/2" wide, the measurement would be 2-1/2". Cut the second tail straight across at that mark.
Join the Diagonal Seams
Open the tails. With right sides together, place one on top of the other at a right angle. Join the strips with a diagonal seam. Before stitching, check to be sure the strips are not twisted. Trim the seam allowance to 1/4" and finger-press open.
Finish the Binding
Fold the binding strip in half lengthwise, as it was done previously. It should lie perfectly flat. Continue sewing the binding strip to the starting point. Backstitch to secure. Turn the binding over the edge of the quilt and hand-stitch in place.

|Hi Folks,
This is similar to the previous topic "GE refrigerator PFS22SISBSS 2006 Compressor testing" I got some good info from that topic.
I have a GE PFS22SISBSS refrigerator. The compressor is not coming on but I hear clicking. I did some testing: J2 on motherboard, 3-8 13.5VDC, 3-4 13.5 VDC, 3-5 13.5 VDC (may be high, expecting 12 VDC). I checked compressor leads, top two 14 Ohms, bottom and top left 5.5 Ohms, bottom and top right 8 Ohms (seem good). The capacitor reads infinity Ohms (OL) and does not really read a capacitance; it reads 3 pF, rated for 12 microF, nothing looks bad on it, no bulges, etc.
I called called GE customer service, they are sending me a new motherboard since it is covered under the recall. They offered to cap installation cost at $100 BUT there are no GE techs (GE employees) in this area. So they said they would pay $100 to a GE certified tech for the install but I would have to pay the balance should it be over $100. Anyway, in the mean time, since the mother board appears to be ok (13.55 VDC is higher than the 12VDC but I don't think that would cause issue, not sure), I figured I would press forward with other troubleshooting/repairs so that I can get this back on line ASAP.
Any help would be appreciated!

|Hi Folks,
Installed new motherboard, no dice. I think that the issue is the capacitor. It ready such a small capacitance 3pF and the meter does not move when resistance checking. I am trying to get my hands on a replacement, looks like it will be after the weekend, another 3-4 days with no fridge.... I am considering getting any ol 12microF capacitor and using it until the "official" part arrives. We'll see... Post more as things progress....

|Hi Folks,
I found the wiring diagram for the GE PSF22SISBSS, see attached. I will put another post with info.
I had just typed up the whole thing and when I posted it, the site said file too big, all my text was gone and not posted. I wish it would have gone forward with the text and simply dropped the attachment if too big, oh well.

|Ok, now for progress notes.
Studying the wiring diagram showed that the capacitor is a run capacitor and not a start capacitor so I decided to check it again since it was NOT the reason that the compressor was not starting. This time I used the correct terminals on my multimeter (oops), it measured at 12uF. Capacitor is good.
The wiring diagram shows that the compressor common get powered with a hot wire and the start and run/main terminals get neutral. Knowing that the overload was working fine (this is what is making the click after the humm when the compressor is "locked rotor" and drawing high amps) it would protect the motor from overload. So, all I needed to do to get the compressor to come on it put neutral (or ground) to the start pin of the compressor at start-up. I used a light switch, a junction box, power strip/bar, and wire from an old appliance.
I plugged the power bar/strip into the wall outlet. With the power bar/strip off, I plugged my wire into the power bar. I put a wire nut on the hot (black) wire of my wire just in case the power bar/strip was swtiched on "reset". I wired the neutral (white) through the switch and mounted the switch on the junction box. I removed the capacity from the relay/overload assembly and wrapped the free end neutral wire and wrapped it around the "blade" that corresponds to the start winding on the compressor. I then installed the capacitor back into the relay/overload assembly.
Incidently, another way to remember which windings have the highest resistance is to think about the amount of use. The run/main winding run "all the time" so they have more copper in them compared to the start windings. More copper means less resistance. Less copper, more resistance. If you have seen resistance values for motors you will see that the resistance drops as the motor gets bigger for the same reason.
I plugged the refrigerator in and heard the hum. I switched the neutral and the compressor started. I quickly switched the neutral back off and the compressor stayed on, success!! I decided that I would leave it run and shut it self off when the temp in the fridge and freezer reached setpoint. When it shut off, I unplugged it to prevent it from trying to come back on without me being there to neutral boost it back on. I am using a wireless thermometer to monitor the temperature and turn it back on every now and then. I will get the new PTC/overload tomorrow but at least I have refrigeration until then.
I hope that this info helps some. If you try to do similar, please be sure to review your unit wiring diagram AND validate the diagram with your multimeter to know what wires to what, etc. Also, be sure to use common sense and safe practices. If you are not sure, don't do it!!!
Good luck!!

text: Lately I've had to cut comb out of my TBH to fix cross combing. In doing so I've cut out some comb containing uncapped/unripe honey. Can I eat it? I know it's just modified nectar, but I wasn't sure how the natural bacteria that the bees put in the honey might affect me. Not sure if it has to mature or something. Maybe this is a silly question, but so far I have just been tossing all the comb in a tuperware in the freezer until I can melt it down for the wax later.

New Zealand need every bit of good luck they can grasp right now, so here's one small offering.
Vernon Philander, South Africa's metronomic seamer, is a serious doubt for the first test at Cape Town starting on January 2.
Philander took 21 wickets in three tests in New Zealand last summer, and has taken 67 at 17 runs apiece from 12 tests altogether.
The third wheel in South Africa's ace pace unit, who's had a recurrence of a left hamstring injury, is expected to be sidelined for 10 to 14 days, so the timeline is tight.
But that's far outweighed by New Zealand losing Tim Southee for both tests. His thumb injury, received fielding for Northern Districts in Wellington this week, means he's gone for six to eight weeks.
Just turned 24, Southee is New Zealand's leading fast-medium operator, coming off strong form in Sri Lanka, and he was relishing the idea of duelling with Philander, Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn.
Whoever replaces him, New Zealand will be, with due respect, the poorer; their chances of being competitive against the world's No 1 team the slimmer. That said, a seasoned trio of Chris Martin, Trent Boult and Doug Bracewell, if all on song, is not the worst.
Now consider that since the T20 and test squads for South Africa were named, Southee is the third seamer to withdraw after being named.
Young Central Districts quick Adam Milne was in, then out, of the T20 squad through an Achilles tendon injury. Veteran Mark Gillespie was stood up, then sat down again with a side strain the day after being named. Michael Bates became third cab off the rank for the T20 series.
But if you think New Zealand has it bad, consider Australia's fast bowling plight. Six frontline new ball bowlers are benched right now through various ailments.
Ahead of their Boxing Day test against Sri Lanka in Melbourne, this is the list: James Pattinson (side strain), Patrick Cummins (back), Josh Hazlewood (foot), Ben Hilfenhaus (side strain), Ryan Harris (shoulder) and John Hastings (back).
Thank goodness, the Aussies must think, for the indefatigable Peter Siddle, who's also their best fast-medium operator, and tall leftie Mitchell Starc, who seems to have an aversion to injury.
If you fear the worst of New Zealand's prospects against South Africa, and are proved right, think of what lies ahead. England, world No 2, cock-a-hoop after toppling India on the sub-continent 2-1, arrive early February.
Should things indeed go badly pear-shaped for New Zealand, the contrast between the two will also be stark, this time with a k.
From Nagpur, a dead, brown track in the middle of India, to the leafy green of University Oval in Dunedin. And don't they just hate pitches with help for the seamers.
They'll be led by one of the world's best batsmen in Alastair Cook, with other top-ranking performers in Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen and Ian Bell, while Jimmy Anderson will spearhead a quality fast-medium attack with Graeme Swann and a revitalised Monty Panesar, the spin men, and a fine wicketkeeper-batsman in Matt Prior.
It shapes up as a daunting three months for new skipper Brendon McCullum. No Vettori, no Taylor and now no Southee, a mix of injury and captaincy fallout. Who'd have picked it? McCullum could be forgiven for hanging out for one decent break.

B.G. & The Chopper City Boyz
B.G.'s next album, Chopper City in the Ghetto (1999), was among the first Cash Money albums to benefit from the distribution deal with Universal, spawning the nationwide hit single "Bling Bling" (thus popularizing the term) and reaching platinum status. A second Hot Boys album, Guerrilla Warfare (1999), was released in the wake of this success, and it likewise went platinum, spawning a pair of hits ("We on Fire," "I Need a Hot Girl"). Also in 1999, Cash Money, at the height of its popularity, went about reissuing some of its back catalog titles, including True Story and Chopper City. B.G.'s next album, Checkmate (2000), was his last for Cash Money, as he left following a dispute over money.
In 2002 B.G. formed his own label, Chopper City Records (distributed by Koch), and subsequently released Livin' Legend (2003), a bitter album that aired out his beef with Cash Money rappers Brian "Baby" Williams (aka Birdman) and Lil Wayne. A series of Chopper City releases followed, including Life After Cash Money (2004), The Heart of tha Streetz, Vol. 1 (2005), The Heart of tha Streetz, Vol. 2 (2006), and We Got This (2007), the latter a collaborative album featuring his affiliate group, the Chopper City Boyz. The four-man group was whittled down to a duo when their second effort, Life in the Concrete Jungle, arrived in 2008. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

to which we will say, look at our injuries in 2011 and the Packer's injuries in 2010.....and look at the results.
Don't feel bad for em at all. We had enough injury last season for three to four years all packed into the off season and regular yr of 2011
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
injuries are part of game next man up we get them also i dont feel bad....lol
they should be ready, with the exception of possibly Witten. Dez and Austin will be playing.
Spin that Webb young Davis
Cowboys are in trouble. They don't have that "all in" mentality like the Giants do, and they surely aren't the 2010 Packers

In person, they look mostly like they do in the photo. If anything, maybe they look just a tad darker in person.
I don't know that I would use the term "pale pink" to describe them. To me, they are more of a a medium pink...I suppose that's a minor detail. The shiny gold luster gives them a unique sparkly quality. I plan on pairing them with gold Swarovski pearls.

February 29, 2012 update: Skillet is confirmed for Armory take-out counter
After much humming, hawing and are-they-or-aren't-they confusion, Skillet Street Food has officially signed on as an anchor tenant in the Seattle Center's newly-renovated food court, The Armory.
While a handful of heavy-hitting Seattle restaurateurs have been seemingly waiting for the first one among them to take the plunge and place their stock in the 21st Century Committee's vision of transforming the Center House into an "actual fine-dining destination," Skillet's Josh Henderson finally committed, he says, because "I do feel confident, especially after discussing with folks what their intentions are."
Apparently the "folks" he was referring to are "some of the other 'big name' chefs in town," whom Henderson says "are very interested and are all clamoring around to be a part of it." Henderson continued in an email, "It feels like there is a very positive energy around it and I feel very confident that the folks we think are fantastic at what they do are going to be joining us in the endeavor."
Skillet is planning a takeout counter that will serve some of the trailer/diner staples ('the burger', duh), and plans to be up and operating in The Armory around June.
Original post:
In a sneak peek tour in February, the Seattle Center Century 21 Committee revealed its first real glimpse of what it has in store for the remodeled Center House, which is now being called The Armory.
Architects from Graham Baba, the firm designing the spaces of hit restaurants around Seattle faster than you can say "industrial chic," showed off the first fruits of its labor: a wall that had previously concealed back-of-house operations has been knocked out and replaced with a cool industrial space with newly-exposed black steel beams and ceilings, the future home of a selection of mobile eateries and food trucks. The west-facing exterior wall now features large windows and several doors that open onto a dining patio overlooking the fountain.
The new name is a nod to the building's past as a National Guard training facility during World War II, before it was repurposed to house programming for the 1962 World's Fair. "This is exactly why we wanted to work with Graham Baba," said Seattle Center spokeswoman Deborah Daoust, "not to add to the building, but to strip back."
Though several heavy hitters of the local restaurant scene were in attendance at the unveiling, a sense of commitment was still elusive. "Everyone's just kind of standing on the edge of the cliff waiting for the first person to jump," said Josh Henderson of Skillet Street Food. Henderson has been in continued talks with the committee over the possibility of signing on as an anchor tenant and has voiced support for the committee's goal of making The Armory a true dining destination, but has yet to commit.
Ethan Stowell (Tavolata, Staple & Fancy, Anchovies & Olives, etc.) said he has had one initial and brief meeting with the committee, but couldn't say what type of presence, if any, he was considering there.
Nonetheless, Daoust said they are in advanced stages of talks with about 16 possible vendors, and hopes to be able to make some announcements soon.

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by a_minimalist, Dec 16, 2012.
Unless you buy an unlocked phone or pay full price for the phone and switch the sim card
Exactly. I've done this as well. There's no difference in the coverage either plus I get basically the same package as I would under a contract for a lot less.
Prepaid sounds lame but it saves me a ton of money.
I am confused...you are complaining that they moved it from a 30 day return policy to a 14 day return policy but also state that you received the phone 33 days ago which would have been past the original 30 day return policy?
Granted I have been on a lot of medication that last few days due to a nasty sinus infection but that seems to me like you were past the date no matter what and are complaining about it instead of manning up and realizing you should have went in much earlier if you were having problems.
Again...that is unless I am reading your words incorrectly.
As far as AT&T goes. In my neck of the woods AT&T has the best coverage. You can get great deals on new phones and so on from Sprint but chances are you will not get very good coverage at all.
So I stick with AT&T. Now with the 3G I had I never had a problem with it. Now with my new phone getting 4G...I notice it is spotty depending on where I am.
Thankfully when I am at home or at work I am on WI-FI so I don't have to worry about it much.
Oh and if you switch to Samsung G SIII...I think you will be happy, I know I am.
Apple can replace the phone 100x but from what I'm reading there is still the possibility of it never being fixed. I don't feel like dealing with that.
I know, problem is I am struggling to find where I saw that. It might have been the site which is designed for mobile devices but I can't find it there either which is annoying. I wish I saved the page when I originally found it.
I'm not sure manning up has anything to do with this situation. But, I'll willingly take that jab. As a customer for 7 or a 8 years who has never missed a single payment and upgrades every two years you'd think that 3 days past the 30 day policy wouldn't be a big deal. That would assume their customer service reps were told to use common sense but instead they are told to be robots and follow everything exactly as stated in the "rules.". Also, I had no idea it had to do with the phone. I thought it was our internet service provider, Cablevision, that was causing all of the problems, as mentioned before. If I knew it was the iPhone I would have returned it immediately. I've had every single iPhone since the first and have never had a problem like this. I think it's safe to say I wasn't that off base in thinking it wasn't the phone since I have had every iPhone and never experienced any problems with them.
My complaint is that I found a part of the website, which I can't find again as sketchy as that sounds, that said they will exchange phones within 30 days. I was at 33 days. IMO, this shouldn't be an issue and should have been fixed on the spot. It's an honest mistake and it's not like I'm trying to screw them out of a new phone.
33 is over the 30 days.
People today always want to think the rules do not apply to them. That they are special. Gets kind of old to hear people complaining about it when they are the ones who are fault for not meeting the deadline.
Sorry...I know that is rude but it is hard to feel for someone that complains about the 30 to 14 day switch when they willingly admit they did not make the 30 day time frame to start with.
Now with my blunt and Jerk portion of my post out of the way...I would suggest you do with others have talked about.
You can go to Apple and see if they can replace it or fix the problem. If I recall correctly they had problems with the antenna initially with the Iphone 4 but corrected the problem later. So there might be a software or firmware update being worked on.
Sell it, get the money and buy a different phone (my bias suggestion is the Samsung Galaxy SIII). But I would caution you to try it first around your wifi area. See if you have a friend that has one and invite him over to see if he has trouble on your wifi.
That's too bad... my wife absolutely LOVES the i5...
Make a Genius appointment and the Apple Store will fix yours or replace it on the spot. I had issues with the volume buttons on my 4S and they fixed it right then. When the problem reoccurred a few months later, they replaced it on the spot...
I tried the Galaxy S3 and ATT (Sam's) made me aware of the 14/30 policy so I was able to get mine back on time. Unfortunately you have little recourse at this point unless they decide to let you exchange.
Right now it seems like it is harder to get the Iphone compared to the SIII...so you might actually get enough money selling the Iphone that you can get the SIII and a little extra (case, play store card, battery etc.).
Sorry, but there are tons of companies that will still work with a customer if they go past their return policy and try to work something out with them. It's called good customer service. I would have gladly paid some crazy restocking fee. It's not always black and white as you're making it out to be. Wiping your hands free of a customer and saying it's your problem now doesn't exactly encourage them to purchase goods from you when they can possibly find better customer service elsewhere. It's not like I bought the phone and I'm trying to exchange it a few months later. If I hadn't found the website that showed they would exchange it up to 30 days I would think this is less of an issue since I'd be over two weeks past the exchange date(14 day return policy).
Yeah, just put it on Ebay as the new "iPhone 6" and some schmuck will pay an outrageous price for it.
I can get about $630 for the iPhone and buy an S3 for $525. I don't know how selling it would work though since it isn't unlocked.
Not sure how to go about it either. I am sure someone has had exp with this process. I would imagine someone could use an old sim card but that might depend on the provider.
Not sure either. I'll figure it out though. I need to get a new iPhone 5 from Apple first.
I paid 199.99 for my Samsung Galaxy S3 for a new contract of 2 years. At that time I spoke w/ the rep and he said as long as I added to my current talk plan and didn't change it say a higher minute plan, I could keep my same unlimited data plan. I got this S3 put on my current plan and I also added a little ATT Go Phone for my son. Nothing changed and I still have unlimited data for the "Todd" phone. : I think a lot of you guys got hosed. I do this every couple of years w/ new phones. Here is a current shot of my ATT plan showing the services.
I switched to Tmobile my self so far no issues and I have had it work in a few places Verizon was not working out in the sticks.
Will see when we start camping again in January where my Verizon worked well in the cities but in remote places it was spotty, sometimes where only one spot worked or not at all.
I went off contract on my phones and my cell phone bill is like 68$ before taxes now for 1000 shared minutes + unlimited text on three phones and data on 1 phone. Unlimited weeknds & nights and unlimited tmobile to tmobile.
Hmm, interesting. Most people I've spoken to say the opposite, that Tmobile is in fine in cities but spotty outside.
Can you ATT people expound on what you don't like? Was almost thinking of switching to them just because I want a Lumia 920.
I think it depends where you are at.
Find whoever has the best overall coverage in your area and go with them.
The wife wanted to switch to sprint so we could get killer deals on new phones but everyone from our general area that had Sprint eventually switched to AT&T because sprint did not have as much coverage in our area.
I think crappy billing, service and other things are part of the equation but in the end I don't care how great the service or deals are if the coverage sucks in an area.
I have not had any trouble with AT&T in the past and just now notice that the 4G is spotty where I did not have trouble prior to 4G phone. So take that for what it is worth.
So from your own personal exp and from those in your general area...find out who seems to have the best coverage and signal strength and stick with them because after all is said and done sometimes the other guys are offering great deals in some areas to make up for other areas and you might have gotten the greatest deal on a phone but if your signal strength sucks (and you are normally away from wifi) than it is all for nothing IMO.
On a side note...when we went on vacation we were lucky enough to have AT&T and we were told it was the only provider in the US Virgin Islands and we had perfect reception and strength to call back home...which was a good thing as it turned out that was when we had that big power outage this summer and we needed to stay in contact with people back home.
ATT is good but the way they handle grandfathering(unlimited plans) and now returns/exchanges I don't like. Their service is fine. I think you will always find something small between Verizon, ATT, and T-Mobile. It's the little things that separate the three. That's IMO where ATT fails. So does Verizon as far as grandfathering. The way it was handled by both companies is sketchy.

Author and political activist Kevin Powell, who has written a biography of the late rapper Tupac Shakur, will be on the Main campus on Thursday, Sept. 20, to discuss "Motivating Black Males toward Leadership, Academic Success and Networking."
His presentation begins at 2 p.m. in the RJ Wills Lecture Hall, located on the second floor of the Campus Center.
Powell, 46, of Brooklyn, New York, appeared in the first season of MTV's reality television series, The Real World: New York in 1992. From 1992 to 1996, he was a senior writer for Vibe magazine where he spent several years documenting, most famously, the life and times of the late Tupac Shakur. His book, Tupac Shakur: The Biography, is the first biography authorized by the rapper's mother, Afeni Shakur.
Powell also has hosted and produced programming for HBO and BET and is a frequent guest commentator on VH1, MTV, BET, and other media platforms about popular culture, political and social justice issues. He is a nationally recognized activist who speaks out against violence against girls and women and appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in March 2009.
He also made three runs for the United States Congress in New York's 10th congressional district.
Powell's visit is sponsored by the Pulaski Technical College's Network for Student Success.

There has been a massive increase in the number of thin and light 13.3in ultraportables coming onto the market recently. We've seen the likes of the Sony VAIO Z and VAIO S, the Samsung Series 9 and of course the 13in MacBook Air to name but a few, not to mention all the new models we saw at IFA. But these have been completely consumer-focused machines, and the Dell Vostro 3350 we looked at was too thick and heavy to truly fit the ultraportable moniker. So what about those who want rugged, classy and thin, with possibly some TPM or other business features thrown in? Well, Lenovo has a solution in the form of its ThinkPad X1.
The snazzily-named X1 comes with the classic soft-touch yet hard-wearing ThinkPad finish, a carbon-fibre rollcage, Gorilla Glass screen protection and more, adding up to military spec ruggedness! Then there's oodles of connectivity (including eSATA, USB 3.0, HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort), plenty of power under the hood with up to Core i7 CPUs, a backlit and spill-resistant keyboard, rapid-charge 30-minute-to-80-percent battery, and more. Does this make it the ultimate laptop? Join us as we find out.
First, let's talk design and build. Though it's relatively sleek and the thinnest ThinkPad ever, the X1 doesn't look or feel particularly thin, despite its 17mm front tapering to a still svelte 21mm at the rear. Perhaps it's the lack of curved edges or the overbearing, top heavy shape where its sides slope to a narrower base. It's not as light as many rivals either, though its 1.75kg weight (1.71kg with an SSD rather than the hard drive in our review sample) is light enough to carry it around all day without significant strain.
To be honest we don't really see the somewhat industrial design appealing to the fashion-conscious, though for ThinkPad adherents and those into executive styling, this is just the ticket. Where the X1 also wins hearts is in its feel. Though not quite as nice in the hand as the Lenovo IdeaPad U260, its rounded edges, lack of exposed connectors at its sides and soft-touch finish make this laptop a delight to carry around, and there's no risk of unsightly fingerprints. The ThinkPad coating is also very scratch-resistant, ensuring this machine should look as good a few months down the line as when you bought it.
Build quality is another area where the ThinkPad name is legendary, and deservedly so. Every single part of the X1 feels like it can survive the abuse of the most fanatic road-warrior. Plastics are strong and solid, panels are beautifully fitted with no gaps for dirt to get into, and of course the Gorilla Glass protecting the screen means this is one of the few laptops on which you can poke at the display with a biro without any unfortunate consequences.
Last, but not least, the hinge, which allows the screen to fold all the way back till it's as flat as the laptop's base (a handy feature unique to ThinkPads), is sturdy enough that its stays in the exact position you put it in without any wobble. Basically, it's not hard to see how the X1 earned its MILSPEC (US military ruggedness) qualifications.
