After Mahurin, two more executives leave True Value

John Bonnot former division vps-merchandise for True Value

The management shakeupat True Value continued last month, as two more merchandising executives resigned their positions just weeks after senior vp and chief merchandising officer Steve Mahurin left to take over as vp-merchandising at Office Depot.

True Value announced May 19 that John Bonnot and Alex Ogle, division vps-merchandising, had chosen to leave the company and pursue new positions in the retail industry. This was the same day that Mike Clark, the former Sears executive and Mahurin’s replacement, was set to start in his new role.

“We thank both John and Alex for their service and wish them the best, both personally and professionally, as they embark on the next phase of their careers,” said Lyle Heidemann, president and CEO of True Value. “Alex and John served our store owners exceedingly well during their tenure with the co-op. Both are returning home to their families on the East and West Coasts, respectively.”

Alex Ogle could not be reached for comment, but it was confirmed that he has taken a position at Lowe’s in Mooresville, N.C.

Clark officially took the title of senior vp and chief merchandising officer May 19, bringing 35 years of merchandising experience to the Chicago-based co-op.

Heidemann called Clark “a proven, seasoned merchandising expert and corporate leader,” who will be “ invaluable as we continue our strong focus on the retail growth and success of our members.” Clark most recently oversaw merchandising for Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH), an 85-store California-based chain. At True Value, he will be responsible for leading a merchandising team that drives nearly $2.0 billion annually in product sales. He will oversee branding and business strategies around product assortments, global sourcing, procurement and pricing.

Bryan Ableidinger, owner of Parkrose True Value in Portland, Ore., said that True Value management had not yet given an explanation to members about the leadership changes in the merchandising department.

“I was very disappointed to see the departure of Alex and John and to not know why they left,” Ableidinger said. “I am very concerned for the entire supply chain at True Value. We went through a major shuffle after Steve arrived, and we seem to be starting over again. If a supplier needs stability any where, it is in the buying department.”

Bill Johnson, owner of Johnson True Value in Groton, Conn., said he’s hoping it will be business as usual with the new merchandising team. “If they just keep going in the same direction as what Steve was doing, it will be good,” he said. Johnson specifically praised programs like “ Never Out,” which involves 400 to 600 popular items True Value keeps well-stocked at the ware-house. “We don’t need any big changes—retail is retail—but just make it a little bit better.”

Mahurin’s departure at the end of March came just a couple of weeks after he addressed members at the True Value spring market in Orlando. He had joined the co-op in March 2004 after 13 years with Home Depot and almost immediately started a line review process. His team began working its way through each product category, trimming about $34 million worth of underperforming skus by the end of 2005. Mahurin also shored up the global sourcing department, patching in private labels where necessary and creating hundreds of what became known as Certified True Blue (CTB) product assortments.

Don’t you love the miso soup they serve you at authentic Japanese restaurants? So nourishing and warming, completely fat-free and low-calorie. I really wanted to replicate it at home.

I went hunting for recipes and found that traditional miso soup starts not with miso but with ingredients I have never heard of and have no idea how to find: sheets of dried seaweed as well as something called bonito, a shaved dried fish. Eh, no.

But when I tried making “miso soup” just with store-bought miso, it was really missing something.

Then I found this amazingly simple recipe here. It’s probably not what they would serve you in Japan, but it’s close!

Miso Soup

2/3 cup red miso*

2 cups frozen edamame

14 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/2-in. cubes

1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 sheet nori, halved and sliced

2 green onions, sliced diagonally

1. Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to a simmer and whisk in miso. Add edamame and cook 2 minutes.

2. Remove from heat and add tofu and soy sauce. Let sit 3 minutes to warm through.

3. Divide among bowls and top with a few sprinkles of nori strips and some green onions.

*Find miso in a market's refrigerated foods section.

You’ve probably heard about all the research on the health perks of your morning brew. But the latest buzz is about coffee flour, which may be even better for you.

Its body-boosting secret? A large dose of the antioxidant chlorogenic acid (CGA), according to the flour's inventor, Daniel Perlman, PhD, a biophysicist at Brandeis University.

CGA, found in raw coffee beans, is thought to be responsible for some of java’s most impressive benefits. But much of this powerful nutrient is broken down when the beans are roasted at high temperatures.

Perlman has figured out how to make tasty coffee flour from green beans that are just partially baked (at lower temps for less time) so they retain nearly all of their CGA, the Boston Globe reported.

RELATED: 4 Recipes for Coffee Lovers

Pearlman scored a patent on his process last month, and hopes a food company will license the flour—which contains three to four times as much CGA as roasted beans. He told Eater a number of companies have already tested it in bakery products.

And yes, coffee addicts, it offers a caffeine fix too.

"This flour contains 2.5% caffeine by weight,” Pearlman explained to Eater. “So if you were to put four grams of this into, say, a breakfast muffin, it would be the equivalent of drinking a cup of coffee.”

Just don’t count on a post-espresso kick: "I would expect [the flour’s caffeine] to be absorbed a little more gradually than the caffeine in a cup of coffee, so [it would offer] a more sustained release and longer-term stimulation," he said.

Coffee scones with a subtle but long-lasting buzz? Yes, please!

Setting goals for healthy eating success

Whether you’re trying to cook at home more, eat fewer processed foods, or consume less sodium, goal setting is an important part of your healthy-eating plan. Setting goals is helpful because it gives you something to strive for, a standard by which you can judge your success. Your task for this week is to use your food diary to determine the overall parts of your diet you need to improve. You should set your own personal goals, but here are some starting points:

Fruits and vegetables. After you’ve completed your food diary for three days (two weekdays and one weekend), begin to analyze your food diary by noting the fruits and vegetables you consumed. Over the past three days, how many did you eat in relation to your goal? Ideally, in three days, you should have about nine servings of fruit and about 12 servings of vegetables. How did you do? Where do you need to improve? Write your answers here: __________________________________________________________

Cooking from scratch. Preparing your meals at home with whole, unprocessed ingredients and eating fewer processed and restaurant meals gives you more control over your intake of sodium, calories, and other nutrients. According to your food diary, how often did you eat out? How many processed foods did you consume? In those three days, how many times did you cook from scratch or make your meal with whole, unprocessed ingredients? Write your answers here: _______________________________________________________

Eating habits. Most of us could benefit from slowing down and devoting our attention to eating. When we multitask with food or eat quickly, we can consume more food (and therefore calories) without realizing it and sacrifice a feeling of satisfaction. How many times did you eat while also doing something else? How much time did you spend eating at each meal? Write your answers here: _____________________________________________

Take a look at your answers and establish general goals based on your current habits. To set goals successfully, keep the following guidelines in mind.

Start small

Aim to make just three or four small diet changes in the weeks to follow (one or two goals per week) rather than trying to radically overhaul your eating habits. The gradual approach is a set-up for success because it’s not overwhelming and removes the pressure. Even though you’re setting mini goals, you can often get lots of mileage out of them. By eating out less often or consuming fewer processed foods, for example, you’ll automatically reduce the number of calories you’re taking in, slash your intake of saturated fat, and consume less sodium.

Be realistic

Start from where you are now and try to improve. If, according to your food diary, for example, you ate lunch out five times in five days, a good goal to set for yourself would be to cut back to three restaurant or take-in lunches and bring your lunch to work two days. Once you get used to that change, you can add even more days to your bring-lunch-from-home routine, so that eating lunch out eventually becomes the exception.

Set specific, behavior-driven goals

Specific, short-term, behavioral goals are more motivating and easier to measure than general, long-term, end-result goals. Instead of “I want to lose 10 pounds by my birthday,” for example, a specific, behavior-driven goal would be “I’ll have a salad for lunch each day.” Instead of “I’ll stop snacking,” make it your goal to set out a tangerine for your afternoon snack. Behavior-driven goals are easier to achieve because they focus on one step toward a result that can take months to accomplish.

Each week, when you reach your behavior-driven goal, you earn an opportunity to celebrate personal achievement, which helps maintain motivation. At the end of each week, assess your progress and reward yourself for the small changes you made; for instance, you might treat yourself to a movie. Moving in the right direction deserves some acknowledgment to encourage you to continue the positive, healthful behavior change.

A note about wording: state your goals throughout this six-week journey as “I will ...” It’s more a more powerful proclamation than “I want to ...” or “I’d like to ...”

Based on your food diary, what specific goals would you like to set? List three goals for changes you’d like to make in your diet in the coming weeks.

I will ...

How To Put Coconut Oil In Your Hair To Stop It From Going Gray Early, Thinning Or Falling Out

Joy Sandra - 3:00 AM

Coconut oil is one of the healthiest ingredients on the planet, and it boosts overall health.

It is extremely helpful for your skin, hair, nails, and due to this, it is often added to body creams, sunscreens and beauty products.
Coconut oil and milk have been commonly used by women in India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and the Carribean, in order to keep their hair long, silky, and naturally colored.

We reveal some of the most important benefits of the use of coconut oil for your hair, as it is the ultimate beauty product:

coconut oil treats grey hair

Repairs Hair Damage

Coconut oil is even better than mineral oil and sunflower oil, in the prevention of hair damage. It is the only oil which reduces protein loss and boosts the shaft. Apply it on the hair ends to repair them. Yet, make sure you trim them off every 6 weeks.

Prevents Hair Loss

Hair loss might be a result of various inflammatory skin conditions, fungal infections, and nutritional deficiencies.
On the other hand, coconut oil is rich in healthy fats which are beneficial for the scalp and shaft, soothe inflammation, and treat skin infections.

Mix 2 tablespoons of sage oil and 3 tablespoons of coconut oil, and cook them over low heat to mix. Then, leave them to cool until warm and apply the mixture on the head at bedtime. Cover with a shower cap, and leave it thus until the next morning. Then, wash it off.

Gray Hair

Pigment cells are located at the base of the follicle of the hairs, and they give the hair color. Yet, they die over the time and become less efficient.

Massage the hair with lemon and coconut oil for 15 minutes every day to nourish the scalp and protect the base of the hair follicles, and thus prevent gray hair.

Makes Your Hair Smooth

Frizzy hair is usually a result of excessive dryness of the cuticles and hair shaft. Yet, this oil repels water as it is hydrophobic, but at the same time, it retains the moisture within the hair shaft.

Apply coconut oil 10-15 minutes before washing the hair. This will make the hair smooth and silky. To brush through the hair easily, apply some coconut oil on the hair ends as well.

Coconut oil can also be used for hair styling, as it tames flyaways and slicks down the hair.

Fights Dandruff

Dandruff is a common chronic scalp condition, caused by dry skin, fungus, or other factors, and its main symptom is flaking of the skin on the scalp. Coconut oil fights fungal infections and hydrates the skin, thus treating dandruff.

Mix castor oil and coconut oil in equal amounts, and massage the scalp with the mixture. Leave it to act for half an hour, and then wash it out. Repeat this every time you wash the hair in the case of severe dandruff.

Kills Lice

Lice are most common in young children, and products for their elimination are always rich in toxins and chemicals which burn the scalp and damage the hair.

This oil can be of great help as it hydrates the skin instead of irritating it and kills even the pesticide-resistant lice. It coats lice and gradually suffocates them.

Moreover, it does not allow lice or their eggs to hang onto the hair shafts. You should apply it evenly to the hair, leave it to act for several days, and continue applying it as it gets absorbed. For even better effects, mix the coconut oil with a few drops of tea tree oil.

Therefore, we strongly suggest using this remarkable oil for your hair. Also, note that you should always use organic coconut oil. Many organic or herbal shampoos contain coconut oil, but make sure you add it if they lack it to enjoy its potent properties.

Braces aren’t just for teenagers, though you may remember having a mouthful of metal in your younger days. While teenage teeth and jaws are certainly more malleable, at Helix House Orthodontics we are able to get great results for our adult patients too.

One of the side effects of getting older is a loss in collagen. This affects the skin, leading to reduced volume and hollows, but it also affects the mouth, making your lower teeth more visible with age. It can also cause your teeth to move and become crooked or loose.

If you have crooked teeth that are bothering you, or perhaps your previously straightened teeth have returned to their original position, we can recommend a course of orthodontic treatment. What’s more, our range of invisible treatment options mean your braces won’t be visible.

Healthy teeth and gums

Gum health, which is one of the first things to deteriorate with age, needs to be maintained with regular cleaning, both at home and professionally. We can show you how to manage this at home and recommend the best products for your mouth and well-being.

Age-related oral health issues

Age-related hormonal changes can bring about the problem of a dry mouth. This can affect day-to-day activities such as talking and eating. Our Oral Facial Consultant can help diagnose dry mouth problems and prescribe necessary medications to ease your discomfort.

Facial pain, which appears to have no obvious cause, can also affect older women. A detailed consultation with our Oral Facial Consultant may help to identify and treat this debilitating condition.

Eric Clapton announces US concerts

Eric Clapton has announced a series of spring 2017 live dates in the US.

The guitarist will perform his only North American concerts next year with pairs of shows in New York and Los Angeles in March, where he’ll be joined by special guests Jimmie Vaughan and Gary Clark Jr.

Clapton will be accompanied by his band members Walt Richmond, Steve Gadd, Nathan East, Chris Stainton, Sharon White and Michelle John.

Celebrating his 70th birthday last year, the bluesman wrote a heartfelt note in the program that began “I swear this is it, no more…..I know I've been threatening retirement for the last fifty years, but I didn't think I'd ever really want to stop. I love what I do and always have done, but over the last few decades I've found what I was always really looking for, a loving family who love me just the way I am, which means I can relax and rest when I need to, and more and more I treasure the beauty of that....”

The letter went on to say, “Hopefully, I might be able to remember and breathe some life into this old stuff…. in truth believe me, with these great guys to play with, I'll be having the time of my life!”

A Chase pre-sale starts December 1 at noon EST, with general public tickets going on sale December 3 at 10:00 a.m. local time.

Clapton recently released “Live In San Diego with Special Guest JJ Cale.”

The project captures the guitarist in a 2007 concert as part of a tour in support of his and Cale’s 2006 album, “The Road To Escondido.”

Executive Summary: The ABM Treaty: Outdated and Dangerous

Executive Summary: The ABM Treaty: Outdated and Dangerous

August 20, 1998 3 min read Download Report

During his tenure as Secretary of Defense in the 1960s, Robert S. McNamara formulated a strategic nuclear policy designed to keep both the United States and the Soviet Union essentially defenseless against nuclear attack. This policy, aptly named "mutual assured destruction" or MAD, was codified in a treaty signed by President Richard Nixon in 1972 called the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. The ABM Treaty barred both the U.S. and the Soviet Union from deploying systems capable of defending their national territories against ballistic missile attack.

Despite dramatic changes in the strategic environment since 1972, the territory of the United States remains completely undefended against ballistic missile attack. In fact, the Clinton Administration continues to work assiduously to retain both the MAD policy and the ABM Treaty.

The tangible result of this effort was revealed in a new set of ABM Treaty-related agreements between the United States and four republics of the former Soviet Union. One of these agreements would establish a new ABM Treaty, virtually identical to its predecessor, in a multilateral setting. The new agreement, formulated as a memorandum of understanding (MOU) among the United States, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine, was signed for the United States by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on September 26, 1997, at the United Nations in New York. It must be approved by the Senate prior to ratification.

The original ABM Treaty, under the terms of international law, lapsed when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Considering that Senate rejection of the MOU would block the re-establishment of ABM Treaty-style restrictions, the most critical question for the Senate is whether the continuation of ABM Treaty restrictions serves the national security interests of the United States.

The answer is that, if continued, these restrictions will prevent the U.S. from protecting itself from a clear, present, and growing danger. Specifically:

  • The continuation of ABM Treaty restrictions will perpetuate a security policy based on the illogical notion that leaving the American people vulnerable to missile attack somehow makes the nation more secure.

  • With the demise of the Soviet Union, both MAD and the ABM Treaty are obsolete.

  • ABM-style restrictions increase the risks associated with accidental or unauthorized missile launches from Russia or China.

  • Continuation of ABM-like restrictions will leave the U.S. unable to respond to the growing threat associated with the proliferation of missile systems among rogue states.

  • Continuation of ABM restrictions will impose limits on the kinds of cooperative efforts the United States can undertake with its friends and allies in the area of missile defense.

  • As in the past, the ABM Treaty will not serve its stated purpose of limiting the size of offensive nuclear arsenals.

  • ABM Treaty restrictions involve purely artificial distinctions between tactical and theater missile defenses and strategic missile defenses.

  • The alternative of a "treaty-compliant" deployment of national missile defenses is a dead end because it ensures that effective missile defense technologies remain permanently in the research and development stage and are never deployed.

  • The continuation of ABM Treaty restrictions will bar the U.S. from developing a reasonable missile-defense deployment plan that initially would field 650 interceptors on 22 Navy ships and later field a combination of space-based interceptors and space-based lasers.

The ABM Treaty has always been incompatible with the deployment of an effective missile defense system, despite the arguments of some ABM proponents that a treaty-compliant approach to deployment was available. This incompatibility will be perpetuated if the MOU is ratified.

It has been difficult to argue that deployment of an effective missile defense system is incompatible with the ABM Treaty, however, since few realistic opportunities to free the U.S. from the treaty have materialized. Now, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, the Senate has both the opportunity and the obligation to debate the benefits and risks of the policy of vulnerability codified in the ABM Treaty.

allergy & hay fever information

Dr. Daniel Hinckley

Insight into causes, treatment, and prevention

• Why does the body develop allergies?
• What are common allergens?
• When should a doctor be consulted?
• and more…

Millions of Americans suffer from nasal allergies, commonly known as hay fever. Often fragrant flowers are blamed for the uncomfortable symptoms, yet they are rarely the cause; their pollens are too heavy to be airborne. An ear, nose, and throat specialist can help determine the substances causing your discomfort and develop a management plan that will help make life more enjoyable.

Why does the body develop allergies?

Allergy symptoms appear when the immune system reacts to an allergic substance that has entered the body as though it were an unwelcome invader. The immune system will produce special antibodies capable of recognizing the same allergic substance if it enters the body at a later time.
When an allergen reenters the body, the immune system rapidly recognizes it, causing a series of reactions. These reactions often involve tissue destruction, blood vessel dilation, and production of many inflammatory substances, including histamine. Histamine produces common allergy symptoms such as itchy, watery eyes, nasal and sinus congestion, headaches, sneezing, scratchy throat, hives, shortness of breath, etc. Other less common symptoms are balance disturbances, skin irritations such as eczema, and even respiratory problems like asthma.

What are common allergens?

Many common substances can be allergens. Pollens, food, mold, dust, feathers, animal dander, chemicals, drugs such as penicillin, and environmental pollutants commonly cause many to suffer allergic reactions.

One of the most significant causes of allergic rhinitis in the United States is ragweed. It begins pollinating in late August in most of the U.S. and continues until the first frost. Late springtime pollens come from grasses like timothy, orchard, red top, sweet vernal, Bermuda, Johnson, and some bluegrasses. Early springtime hay fever is most often caused by pollens of trees such as elm, maple, birch, poplar, beech, ash, oak, walnut, sycamore, cypress, hickory, pecan, cottonwood, and alder. Flowering plants rarely cause allergy symptoms.

Household allergens
Certain allergens are present all year long. These include house dust, pet danders, and some foods and chemicals. Symptoms caused by these allergens often worsen in the winter when the house is closed up, due to poor ventilation.

Mold spores also cause allergy problems. Molds are present all year long and grow both outdoors and indoors. Dead leaves and farm areas are common sources for outdoor molds. Indoor plants, old books, bathrooms, and damp areas are common sources of indoor mold growth. Mold is also common in foods.

How can allergies be managed?

Allergies are rarely life-threatening, but often cause lost work days, decreased work efficiency, poor school performance, and a negative effect on the quality of life. Considering the millions of dollars spent on antiallergy medications and the cost of lost work time, allergies cannot be considered a minor problem.
For some allergy sufferers, symptoms may be seasonal, but for others they produce year-round discomfort. Symptom control is most successful when multiple approaches are used simultaneously to manage the allergy. They may include minimizing exposure to allergens, desensitization with allergy shots or drops, and medications. If used properly, medications, including antihistamines, nasal decongestant sprays, steroid sprays, saline sprays, and cortisone-type preparations, can be helpful. Even over-the-counter drugs can be beneficial, but some may cause drowsiness.

When should a doctor be consulted?

The most appropriate person to evaluate allergy problems is an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist). Aside from gathering a detailed history and completing a thorough examination of the ears, nose, throat, head, ENT doctors will offer advice on proper environmental control. They will also evaluate the sinuses to determine if infection or structural abnormality (deviated septum, polyps) is contributing to the symptoms.

In addition, the doctor may advise testing to determine the specific allergen that is causing discomfort. In some cases subcutaneous immunotherapy (allergy shots) or sublingual immunotherapy (allergy drops) may be recommended. Immunotherapy is a method of treating allergies by desensitizing individuals to allergens over time, in many cases with the goal that they be cured of their allergies.

Tips for reducing the exposure to common allergens

• Wear a pollen mask when mowing grass or cleaning house (most drugstores sell them).
• Change your air filters regularly in heating and air conditioning systems and vacuum cleaners and/or install an air purifier. Consider a HEPA filter in your bedroom or other rooms where you spend a lot of time.
• Keep windows and doors closed during heavy pollen seasons.
• Wipe down indoor-outdoor animals as they return inside to remove pollen on their fur.
• Use daily saline nasal rinses to cleanse your nose and sinuses of the offending allergens.
• Rid your home of sources of mildew.
• Try not to allow dander-producing animals (i.e., cats, dogs, etc.) into your home and bedroom. However, if you have a pet, ask your ENT for suggestions to allow you to enjoy your pet while also enjoying a life free of allergies.
• Change feather pillows, woolen blankets, and woolen clothing to cotton or synthetic materials.
• Enclose mattress, box springs, and pillows in a plastic barrier.
• Use over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants as needed and as tolerated.  However, you will likely find the best allergy symptom control with topical nasal sprays and eye drops that can be prescribed by your ENT.
• Sleep with the head of the bed tilted upward. Elevating it helps relieve nasal congestion.
• Discuss hay fever and allergy symptoms with a physician when experiencing an allergic reaction.

Jury considers fate of MJ's doctor

After six weeks of trial, jurors in the involuntary manslaughter case of Michael Jackson's doctor will get their first chance to talk about the case on Friday.

entertainment Updated: Nov 04, 2011 18:58 IST

After six weeks of listening, jurors in the involuntary manslaughter case of Michael Jackson's doctor will get their first chance to talk about the case on Friday.

Their discussions behind closed doors in a downtown Los Angeles courthouse could lead to the conviction or acquittal of Dr Conrad Murray, whom the panel has heard described alternately as an inept and opportunistic physician or a naïve outsider granted access into Jackson's inner realm.

The seven-man, five-woman panel listened intently on Thursday as prosecutors and defense attorneys argued over whether Murray should be convicted of involuntary manslaughter for Jackson's death in June 2009. The physician's attorneys attacked prosecutors and their witnesses, saying they had over time developed stories and theories that placed the blame for Jackson's death squarely on Murray.

Jackson died from a fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol, which Murray acknowledged giving Jackson to help him sleep.

The real reason Jackson died, defense attorney Ed Chernoff argued, was because he craved the powerful anesthetic so much that he gave himself a fatal injection when Murray left his bedside.

"They want you to convict Dr Murray for the actions of Michael Jackson," Chernoff said.

"Poor Conrad Murray," prosecutor David Walgren replied in his final speech to jurors. "Michael Jackson is dead. And we have to hear about poor Conrad Murray and no doctor knows what it's like to be in his shoes."

Walgren noted that several doctors who testified — including two who were called by Murray's attorneys — said they would have never given the singer anesthesia in his bedroom.

Murray is solely to blame for Jackson's death, Walgren argued, saying Murray had purchased more than four gallons of propofol to administer to Jackson and had been giving him nightly doses to help him sleep. Walgren repeatedly described Murray's treatments on Jackson as unusual and called his actions on the day of the singer's death — including not calling 911 and not mentioning his propofol doses to paramedics or other doctors — "bizarre."

Murray was essentially experimenting on Jackson, Walgren said. Murray should have known Jackson might die from the treatments, yet he lacked the proper life-saving and monitoring equipment.

"What is unusual and unpredictable is that Michael Jackson lived as long as he did under the care of Conrad Murray in this situation," Walgren said.

The prosecutor repeatedly invoked the singer's children, Prince, Paris and Blanket, and said Murray's actions left them without a father. The children, who range in ages from 9 to 14, were not present, but Jackson's parents and several of his siblings attended closing arguments.

The Houston-based cardiologist's culpability will be decided by jurors, who heard from 49 witnesses and have more than 300 pieces of evidence to consider. They were given lengthy instructions about how to deliberate and interpret the case.

If Murray is convicted, he faces a sentence that ranges from probation to four years behind bars, and he would lose his medical license. The sentence will be decided by Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor and not the jury; the judge will receive input from attorneys for both sides and probation officials if necessary. A recent change in California law means that Murray, 58, might serve any incarceration in a county jail rather than a state prison.

If acquitted, Murray would be free from criminal prosecution, but will likely be pursued by medical licensing authorities in the states of California, Nevada and Texas.

In order to convict Murray, jurors will have to determine the cardiologist was substantially responsible for Jackson's death.

Despite days of scientific testimony about what likely happened in Jackson's bedroom from experts for Murray and the prosecution, Walgren acknowledged that some things about the events in the King of Pop's bedroom that led to his death will never be known.

"The people won't prove exactly what happened behind those closed doors," he said. "Michael Jackson could give answers, but he is dead."

Boo Bunting with Charm Squares

I wanted to have my Baltimore Halloween quilt done this week, so of course I stalled and worked on something else instead. I picked up a charm pack of a Moda Halloween fabric by Sanae a couple years ago (don’t know the name anymore), and wanted to use it for something and finally decided on a bunting to hang above our fireplace in the living room.

Imagine how warm and toasty it is in front of our fake fireplace!
Here’s a close-up of two of the flags.  The letters are fused on, but not stitched around. I figured since this isn’t a “washing” project, I didn’t need to do that extra bit.  The two pumpkins and ghost are not appliqued – they were done by sandwiching two pieces right sides together with a layer of batting, stitching around the shape, and turning it right side out.  Faces were put on using fusible, but again not stitched.
Boo Bunting - Close-up

Here’s the graph paper I used to figure out the layout. I arranged the three charm squares per the layout below: two on top, and one centered on the bottom in 100% scale on the graph paper. I then drew a line from the middle of the bottom square to the 1/4″ inside. Now, I didn’t use this as a template to cut the flags; instead I used it to figure out how big to make the letters. I figured out that the letters should be 4 1/2″ tall for this size flag, which comes out to 8 1/4″ wide and 8 1/2″ tall.  I then used Microsoft Powerpoint (the presentation software) to get the letters I needed, and then reversed the image when printing.

Boo Bunting Layout

So I bet you’re saying to yourself, “There’s no “L” in “BOO”.” And you’re right! Go have a cookie. I wanted this to be multi-purpose, so I made the other side Thanksgiving-themed

Gobble Bunting

The Gobble side does not use charm squares, rather single cuts of the same fabric. Those measurements from above came in handy!  In total, this project used 18 charm squares and 1/4 yard of Thanksgiving-y fabric, plus the fabric for the letters.

To join the flags, I matched up the two sides wrong sides together (be careful since you’re pairing the first flag of one with the last flag of the other side, otherwise you’ll get a “BOO” side and a “ELBBOG” side), and stitched along the sides with a 3/8″ seam allowance (I left the tops unstitched since they were sewn shut with the string part). I then used my pinking shears to trim the edges so they wouldn’t ravel (you can see than in the close-up picture above).

To get them on the string, I measured a 67″ length of bias tape, and folded it over so it would encase the tops of the flags.  On each end I folded it so it made a loop (this is hung on cuphooks screwed into the shelves under the TV – I am committed!), and started stitching to secure the loop and then across each of the flags to the other end. I went slowly to make sure I was catching both sides of the bias tape and the flags themselves, and then I turned around and went back the other direction about 1/8″ apart from the first line of stitching.  Since it’s bias tape I didn’t want it stretching out, hence the double stitching.

I’ve got flags cut out for a Saint Patrick’s bunting, and I’ll pair it with an Easter theme on the other side. I haven’t decided if I’ll use letters on it or not – maybe “Lucky” for the St Paddy’s day side? Not sure about Easter, but I can do yo-yo’s in gold fabric to dress up the shamrocks, and for Easter I can do applique bunnies. I’ll also have a birthday one, but am not sure what to put on the other side – maybe I’ll do a girl birthday side and a boy birthday side.

5 thoughts on “Boo Bunting with Charm Squares

  1. Ooh… I didn’t think of SWAK. I could also do fancy lips and a heart.

    I also need to do a patriotic one, but that should be easy with the red, white, and blue and some stars.

Theresa May - will Thatcher legacy help or hinder her upward mobility ?

Theresa May

In a survey by Conservative Home, 29% favour Theresa May for leader, compared with 18% for Boris Johnson.

The survey asked 800 party members, the results of which were tested with a YouGov control panel.

Such polling is hypothetical for now as David Cameron is the clear leader of the Conservative party, but if he loses the election next May then a new leadership contest will take place. In fact, only this Sunday did a Telegraph article suggest that:

"Senior ministers are jockeying for position to succeed David Cameron as Conservative leader, as a new poll puts the Tories neck-and-neck with Labour.”

For now David Cameron is safe, but a loss to Ed Miliband next May will result in a hotly contested leadership battle. The poll puts Theresa May, the Home Secretary on a clear first place eleven points ahead of Boris Johnson.

Since the last poll, only last month, the gap between the front runners has widened significantly. The November poll put Theresa May ahead by just two points - 24% to Boris Johnson’s 22%.

Interestingly, George Osbourne, is now in third place on 13%, up from 10%. Perhaps that makeover is doing him wonders after all!

In the event of a loss next year, it is likely that the new leader will be one of these three. May and Osbourne have the experience, and Johnson almost certainly has the charisma - and the ambitions - to lead the party.

If May does become leader, as these hypothetical polls suggest is possible, then she will be the second female Conservative leader. And perhaps the country’s second female Prime Minister.

Whilst May is not Margaret Thatcher, the truth is that the fact she is a Conservative woman will result in immediate comparisons with Thatcher being drawn by the media, and the electorate, if she becomes leader - or indeed just stands for the position.

On one hand, this could be beneficial for her and something she could take advantage of. Say what you like about Maggie, but she was a powerful figure and a strong leader. Whilst May is not Thatcher such comparisons are inevitable and could work well against the bumbling Boris Johnson, who has a very different sort of personality.

On the other hand, comparisons with Thatcher might not go down so well. Many regard her as a divisive figure, and whilst such comparisons might help May within her own party, appealing to other parts of the electorate - particularly those who would generally support Labour - will be a much harder challenge.

Microsoft’s Juggernaut Alpha specs leaked online

Microsoft’s Juggernaut Alpha specs leaked online

The rumored Juggernaut Alpha smartphone by Microsoft, which we discussed a few days ago, may exist for real after all since its expected tech specs have found their way to the Internet well before the device appears on the market.

Here’s what to expect – the Juggernaut Alpha will likely be called Surface Phone and will be housed in a metallic chassis made of a special aluminum-magnesium alloy. The device will have a 64-bit Intel Atom x3 SoFIA processor as well as a 5.5-inch AMOLED display at 2560 x 1440 pixels, Gorilla Glass 4 protection, 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM (depending on the version chosen), 64 GB or 128 GB of internal memory (again depending on the version chosen) and a microSD card slot for expansion (up to 128 GB). The smartphone will also offer a USB Type-C port, a 21 MP rear camera and an 8 MP front one with Carl Zeiss optics, a Surface Pen stylus and wireless charging.

The Microsoft Surface Phone will likely arrive by the end of the year. The smartphone will run Windows 10 Mobile, which is hardly surprising.

2004-05: As a junior, Collins played in 40 games, scoring 17 points (nine goals, eight assists). He played in 24 Hockey East contests, scoring nine points (three goals, six assists). He was a +/- of +7.

2005-06: Collins enjoyed a brilliant senior season. He led the Eagles in goals (30), assists (27), points (57), shots (174), shooting percentage (.172), and short-handed goals (5). He led the nation in points per game with 1.58. His 30 goals were the third most nationally. He was named as one of the ten finalists for the Hobey Baker Award, the award for College Hockey’s best player.

2006-07: Collins had some conditioning issues when he arrived at training camp and was slow to acclimate to the pro game. He got very little ice time while in Providence, and as a result, he was reassigned to Long Beach where he could get more ice time and experience. Collins finished out his rookie season with 37 points (18 goals, 19 assists) in 51 games.

Talent Analysis
During his final year at Boston College, Collins became one of the most electrifying players to watch. His excellent sense of anticipation and blazing speed made him not only difficult to contain but dangerous in all situations. What Collins lacks in size (height-wise), he more than makes up for with his hard work, tremendously competitive nature and creativity with the puck. He is very smart and possesses outstanding on-ice vision. He has great awareness in being able to spot and get pucks to his teammates on the ice. Collins also does a great job of finding and using to his advantage open spaces on the ice. One area where Collins really excels is in short-handed situations. He is very sound defensively and can often capitalize on the opposition’s turnovers. Collins also is a great leader who leads by example.

Another season has come and gone, and Sweden is again looking to see a number of their young hockey prospects become NHL properties. Nonetheless, it will probably be fewer than in recent years where it has been commonplace to see upwards of 20 Swedes being taken in the NHL Draft. Read more»

There may not be a better drafting team in the second round than the St. Louis Blues. They have found plenty of gems beyond the first round – from Steve Staios, Igor Korolev, Jay McClement, and Jochen Hecht to David Backes and Jake Allen – and the same can be said for 2011. Read more»

There is a lot of high-end talent from the OHL entering this year’s NHL Draft – and you could have spent most of this season travelling a 400-km stretch of the 401 catching most of it.

The London Knights, Mississauga Steelheads, and Windsor Spitfires dominate this year’s rankings – and arguably, all three teams have other players who could hear their names called early on in this year’s draft. Read more»

Don’t despair if your tummy is soft and floppy after baby is born as all the abdominal muscles have been stretched to their limits. All of a sudden, you have gone from muscles tightly stretched over an expanded uterus, to a softer abdomen with weaker control. Be assured your tummy will strengthen and shrink back with commitment to the right exercises.

There are so many different exercise programs available to encourage new mothers getting back into shape, but just like building a house, you need to start with getting your foundations strong first. Developing pelvic floor and core abdominal muscle support starts this strengthening process from the inside out. Practicising pelvic floor and core exercises (Shrink the jellybelly program) reduces abdominal muscle separation, controls bladder and bowel, supports pelvic organs against prolapse and regains sexual sensation.

Challenging abdominal exercises and army style training are likely to overwhelm the smaller pelvic floor muscles in the base of the pelvis. Take a bit longer after a caesarean or complicated vaginal birth and start the easy exercises when you’re comfortable. Report any pain experienced during exercise. Repeat the exercises slowly with an emphasis on using and controlling the pelvic floor and core muscles, as these are gentle, not forceful exercises.

Exercise Tips

  • Focus on regular walks - they may take a bit longer as people like to stop and admire your baby.
  • Meet another mum and walk together on a regular basis.
  • Choose a stroller height that keeps you standing tall (to engage the pelvic floor and core muscles).
  • Rebalance your posture so the trunk and pelvic muscles strengthen in correct alignment. Check with a physiotherapist or fitness professional for postural advice.
  • Seek treatment of post baby loss of bladder and bowel control, prolapse or pain before starting any exercise program.
  • After 16 to 24 weeks post partum, try gentle exercise classes, swimming, water aerobics, tai chi, belly dancing and post natal yoga with experienced teachers.
  • After 24 weeks post partum, try modified yoga, basic pilates, fitball classes or group low impact aerobics with experienced teachers.

Exercising with baby

Try these fun activities as you and baby exercise together

  • Kneel over baby, bend elbows and do upper body push-ups.
  • Lie on your back - place baby on your lower legs, hold onto their body and lift baby slowly up and down with your legs.
  • Lie on your back (knees bent) and push baby away from your body and slowly lower towards your chest.
  • Stand, hold baby close to your chest and squat as though you are sitting down into a chair. Straighten and repeat.

High impact activities in the first 4 to 5 months stress the pelvic floor and leg and pelvic joints. Start with low impact activities such as walking, swimming and deep water running while building pelvic floor and core strength. Stretch to maintain muscle length but avoid stretching to increase flexibility until 16 to 20 weeks post baby, when the effects of pregnancy hormones are minimal.

Fox News' Kimberly Guilfoyle Caught in Controversy After Comments About Tinder, Young Women Voters

"I just thank and excuse them so they can go back on Tinder and"

A conversation about women voters on Fox News' The Five has incited a lot of backlash toward host Kimberly Guilfoyle, who some feel implied young women shouldn't vote and should instead focus on online dating sites.

The segment involved a discussion about whether the Democrats' accusation that the Republicans are fighting a "war on women" would prove effective on election day this year. This lead to a dialogue about the correlation between political party and age, with Greg Gutfeld saying, "With age comes wisdom, and it's a known fact that the older that you get, the more conservative you get."

Guilfoyle's controversial comments began soon after.

"But when you're young like that, you think — same reason why young women on juries are not a good idea, they don't get it," said the former prosecutor. "They're not in that same life experience of paying the bills, doing the mortgage, kids, community, crime, education, healthcare. They're like healthy and hot and running around without a care in the world."

When Bob Beckel interrupted to say that young women should be on juries and have "every right in the world" to serve, Guilfoyle clarified her statement. "I didn't say they shouldn't be," she said. "I just thank and excuse them so they can go back on Tinder and' "

Guilfoyle's young women "don't get it" comments, combined with her quip about Tinder, were met with outrage. "Fox News to young women: Don’t worry about voting, just focus on your Tinder profile," wrote Salon. Huffington Post also published an article entitled Fox News Hosts Tell Young Women Not To Vote, Go Back To Tinder And And many people expressed their disappointment on Twitter.

However, on the other side were conservative outlets that said Guilfoyle's remarks were taken out of context. Some Twitter users echoed these outlets and defended what Guilfoyle had to say about age and being an informed voter.

Guilfoyle tweeted Thursday afternoon that she was planning to explain her comment on that night's episode of The Five.

Music Exec Randy Ostin Dies at 60

He was the son of Warner Bros. Records legend Mo Ostin.

Randy Ostin, a former music executive and the son of legendary Warner Bros. Records president Mo Ostin, has died. He was 60.

Ostin died July 28 after a four-year battle with cancer, according to a paid obituary published Sunday in the Los Angeles Times.

Ostin started out in the promotions department at Warners label Elektra/Asylum, and among the hits he broke were "Running on Empty" by Jackson Browne, "Blue Bayou" by Linda Ronstadt and the Queen rock anthems "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions."

He later ran promotions for The Eagles' 1979-80 The Long Run Tour -- building a long friendship and association with the band -- worked at Warner Reprise and RCA and became an investment partner with nightlife impresario Mark Packer of the Tao Group.

Mo Ostin, 86, also started Reprise Records with Frank Sinatra and headed DreamWorks Records for David Geffin. He signed Jimi Hendrix after seeing him perform at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.

In 2011, Ostin donated $10 million to UCLA for a state-of-the-art campus music facility to be known as the Evelyn and Mo Ostin Music Center. His wife Evelyn died in 2005.

Dionysus Temple Architectural Fragment

Photo Comments

View of one of the architectural fragments of the Dionysus Temple at Pergamum.

Note the bull's head and the garland wreath.  A very common decorative pattern used in Temples.  Compare for example an incense altar from Perga.

Compare how at Lystra the priests of Zeus brought "bulls and wreaths" to sacrifice to Barnabas and Paul - when they thought they were deities! (Acts 14:13).

The Dionysus Temple was first built in the Hellenistic Period (ca. early second century B.C.).  It was later rebuilt and also dedicated to the Roman Emperor Caracalla (r. A.D. 211–217) under the name the "New Dionysus."

UK house prices:The 16 most affordable areas for single buyers to get on the property ladder

There are just 16 districts in England and Wales where single homebuyers on an average wage can get on to the property ladder...

Click to follow

As those looking to get on the property ladder are painfully aware, the main barrier to home ownership is saving for the deposit while house prices continue to rise.

This significant hurdle makes it increasingly difficult for couples to buy their first joint home together, let alone those on a single salary looking to buy a property on their own.

New research by estate agents Savills reveals there are now only 16 council districts across England and Wales, out of a total of 348, where a single buyer earning what is considered as an average salary is able to buy a moderately-priced property in their area.

Unsurprisingly, the report finds that single buyers are priced out of Greater London, the East and the South East, where property prices are continuing to spiral. The 16 most affordable regions are in England - the North West, Yorkshire and The Humber, the West Midlands - and Wales.

And now is a good time to invest. “While our five-year mainstream house price forecasts for the North East, North West and Wales are lower than the UK average, all areas are expected to experience positive growth to 2020, ranging from 12.0% in the North East to 14.8% in Wales,” says head of Savills UK residential research, Lucian Cook.

Blaenau Gwent in south Wales is the cheapest place to buy a home, with an average property price of £75,000. To afford a typical two- or three-bedroom terrace house in this area, single buyers need to earn just over £13,000 a year. As the average income in Blaenau Gwent exceeds this by £6,000, this is named as the most affordable place for single buyers to get on to the property ladder.

At £123,000, the highest average property prices of the 16 locations are in North Lincolnshire, and you can expect to buy a three-bedroom semi-detached house for this amount. Here, the average annual income is almost £23,000, and single buyers need to earn close to this amount to qualify for a mortgage.

Liverpool tops the list as the most expensive area for individual buyers, who need an annual income of £20,978 to buy a home worth £118,000. This will buy a centrally located one-bedroom flat or a four-bedroom terrace home on the outskirts of town.

Buying as a couple on two salaries is considered lower risk by lenders and almost halves the amount each person needs to earn a year in order to buy a home, reducing individual salaries to just £8,571 in Blaenau Gwent, rising to a maximum of £14,057 in North Lincolnshire.

The income needed is not exactly half of the amount needed for a single buyer because the loan-to-income ratios for single and dual earners are different, typically three-and-a-half times the income for dual earners and four-and-a-half times income for single earners.
