Do You Get Enough Quality Sleep?
Good sleepers are beautiful, happier and enjoy better sex. Learn how to be better rested.
The Scientist: Sharon Richter, a registered dietitian with a private nutrition practice in Manhattan.
The Answer: There's a misconception that sea salt has less sodium than table salt and therefore is better for you. Well, it doesn't and it isn't.
Though they come from different sources, both sea salt and regular salt are about 40 percent sodium. Sea salt is obtained directly from evaporated seawater and has trace amounts of minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium, but not enough to make much of a difference (and nothing compared to what you get from food). Table salt is mined from underground salt deposits and processed, so it's not as pure, which is one of the common points of comparison. In the processing, natural minerals are removed, the salt is ground to be much finer and anti-clumping agents are added.
Table salt manufacturers also add iodine, an essential nutrient that helps the thyroid gland produce hormones. Our bodies can't produce iodine on their own, and without enough, our thyroids can get enlarged from overwork (that's what a goiter is). The National Institutes of Health recommend that adults get 150 micrograms per day. A quarter-teaspoon of regular salt provides almost half of that. It's also in a number of foods, including seaweed, fish, shrimp, dairy, grains and eggs.
Although the ocean is full of iodine-packed foods, sea salt hardly has any iodine in it at all. So in that sense, table salt has the edge. And as for those other fancy salts—pink Himalayan, sel gris, fleur de sel, kosher salt—it's simply a matter of texture and taste.

In a few short weeks the Hawks transitioned from a good-but-not-great team with no financial flexibility to a franchise that can clear gops of cap space and has a long-term plan.
No surprise, then, that the Hawks moved up in Chad Ford and John Hollinger's latest future power rankings at ESPN.com (Insider). The rankings are Ford and Hollinger's attempt to project the on-court success for the 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
The Hawks improved from No. 19 to No. 15 largely on the strength of their dramatically improved salary-cap situation. That development moved Atlanta's "money" ranking (worth as much as 200 points) from No. 26th to No.1 Ford and Hollinger noted this "25-place jump was the largest of any team in any category."
That was offset by Atlanta's league-high drop in the "players" ranking (600 points), down to 23rd from 12th. Ford and Hollinger dock the Hawks not just for the talent disparity in the Joe Johnson deal but also because Josh Smith is in the last year of his contract. The authors opine that "[Al] Horford is the only key player who is both signed [long term] and guaranteed to make an impact."
The Hawks rank No. 13 in the "management" category (200 points), up from No. 17 in the previous rankings. Ford and Hollinger give Danny Ferry high marks for both his tenure as Cleveland GM and his initial moves with the Hawks.
Atlanta ranks No. 14 in the "market" category (100 points), up one spot. The considerations: "Appeal to future acquisitions based on team quality, franchise reputation, city's desirability as a destination, market size, taxes, business and entertainment opportunities, arena quality, fans."
Finally, Ford and Hollinger place the Hawks No. 13 in the "draft" rankings (100 points), up from No. 19. That's based on future draft picks and draft positioning.
The teams ranked ahead of the Hawks in the overall rankings, in order: Heat, Thunder, Lakers, Jazz, Pacers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Bulls, Spurs, Celtics, Hornets, Cavaliers, Rockets, Nets.

Korver and Morrow are two of the greatest 3pt shooters in NBA History (Look it up) They have put up crazy numbers during some seasons that make what JJ did that one year with Nash in Phoenix look really average.
August 20th, 2012
11:26 pm
What I'm trying to say is…..Marvin was an average defender. Good rebounder, but horrible at isolation D. and you would normally get a (1 for 5) or (2 for 5) night from 3 for Marv. With Korver and Morrow (3 for 5) will most likely be an average night and 4/5 is a good night. You can't leave them alone which will open things up for our PG/SG Quartet of Teague/Harris Lou/Jenkins. Opposing bigs will then leave Smoove/Al open trying to stop Teague/Harris from getting to the rim.
I can live with our opponents hitting contested Jumpers over Korver/Morrow. All they have to do is keep their man in front of them at all times which should give Al/Smoove enough time to help out if need be. I'm more concerned with paint points by the opposition than I am with them hitting jumpers. We can out gun anybody and more than likely our shooting prowess will draw other teams into a run n' gun match which, unless you're Miami or OKC, should be to our advantage.
Did you know that other than that Season with PHX, Joe's second highest 3pt FG% was last season at 38%? I don't know about you, but I recall JJ laying bricks from downtown last season…lots of em'.
Our offense will run smoother with JJ out of the picture because he, along with Marvin really didn't fit. In our offense, you need a quick trigger to get those shots off of screens; which is basically what we've brought in. People who make quick and productive decisions with the basketball…something JJ wasn't a fan of. In PHX he spotted up yeah, but he got his fair share of ISOS when he ran the PG spot whenever Nash took a breather. The points will be spread and at 18ppg all of the pieces we acquired really weren't that far off from Joe's production point wise. Not to mention that Teague/Harris/Lou get to the foul line at a higher clip than JJ. Marvin did but he wasn't aggressive. Al/Smoove both get to the line frequently; our team efficiency will likely rise.
A lot of PPL look at Joes PPG game decrease and say he's losing his game. Not really, it was a product of the SYSTEM (Mainly catch and shoot) which is how it was in PHX; more efficiency and less PPG. If you want to feed Joe ISOS all day like Woody he will more than likely shoot right back up to the 22-23 PPG range. I also like to think that Joe's PPG decrease was also a function of having a better back-court mate in Teague compared to years past.

slimj dont know if hd12 can be in the class of some of the centers i grew up with but he should be the best of his era. the rest is up to him, he slipped on his own banana peel and hurt his back. now he has to bow it up and carry kobe on it or he wont hear the end of it. could be good hollywood theatre.

doc, can't really argue with you there. I just never felt Pape got a fair shot. Mario West had a clear and obvious ceiling. I don't get that sense with Pape. He's 6"7 225 with leaping abillity and was forced to play PG by LD (I still don't understand that one). He really didn't seem to get a lot of mins in summer league either for some reason. But I guess if he was cream he would have risen to the top. Kinda like Lou Will. In his rookie season Philly sent him down to the D-League and he ripped them to shreds (27ppg which happens to be his High School average). Only God knows how badly Lou would have abused those college kids if he had chosen to go to UGA instead of jumping straight to the pros.

pape cant even make team france is the obvious clear indication of what he has now. he was not well thought of in france or euro league land and we got him on a silly notion that he had promise. oddly enough as cash strapped as this organization is they actually paid to get him over here, he hurts his back to boot, we play him out of position like we did another famous frenchman …. on and on. ket us move to the era of kiss principle of nba management.

JJ withdrew from the USA roster voluntarily. Not saying that he would have continued to be selected but Colangelo and Coach K had him on the roster.
I distinctly remember JJ defending Wall, Rose, Deron, Wade, … In crucial possessions and getting the stops we needed to pull out wins.
We have no one who can be on the floor able to do that AND score unassisted.
Let's be realistic JJ is a top 5 SG in this league whose skill set was poorly used by our coaching staff.
Ray Allen was the highest paid player in Seattle and that did not meant that he went ISO all the time to close games. There are other examples.
JJ should have been used in crunch time as a decoy and a catch and shoot player AND if the play for a clean catch and shoot failed he had the skill to go one on one against a less settled defense.
What is beyond him is to go one on one on crunch time ALL possessions and with the defense completely set on stopping him.
The bottom line is that with a quality coach this core could have gone waaaay beyond.
If we had hired Thibs we would have been in the ECF easily.

I didn't think Pape Sy was from France, that's just where he plays professionally.
Cleveland supposedly has a 3-yr, $10M+/- deal waiting on Gee to sign closer to training camp. Most are saying its a done deal. Very similar to Gerald Green's deal with the Pacers.
Please try to imagine Korver/Morrow forcing Lebron, Melo, and Pierce to shoot jumpers. They will be abused by the better small forwards in the East. It's been 7 years since Korver was a starter, and he only started half of his team's games that year. Morrow has never been a starter for a full year, starting in less than half of his professional games. These guys are "shooters off the bench" and should not be asked to fill a starter's role.

There is no reason for us NOT TO BE CONCERNED with our smallish line up.
Here is an article on MIL's backcourt:
A small sample for the lazy:
"In sum, teams playing the Bucks feasted when Jennings and Ellis shared the court, scoring an average of 107.7 points per 100 possessions of floor time, more than five points-per-100 below Milwaukee's season defensive mark, according to NBA.com's metrics. To put things in perspective, only one team put up defensive numbers that inept over the course of the full 2011-12 season — when Jennings and Ellis shared the backcourt, the Bucks ceased being a slightly-worse-than-average defensive team and became the Charlotte Bobcats (107.8-per-100 allowed)."
I will grant you that Teague is a more talented defender than Jennings and takes better care of the rock, but within your logic, Jennings and Ellis' advantage on offense should overcome that.
The reality is that it didn't from a statistical point of view.
From the point of view of their record, they did go 12-9 with that back court, but of those 21 games, 12 were against non-playoff teams CHA (twice), POR (twice), CLE (twice), WAS (twice), GSW, DET, NJN and TOR.

Pape Sy on a NBA roster……really? I haven't seen him do anything close to Mario West.
August 21st, 2012
10:44 am
VALVA74-Our potential starting backcourt might not be as tall or as big as it was with 6′8″JJ at SG and 6′4″ Hinrich at PG. However, it can certainly be as tall and as big as it was with Hinrich at SG along with Teague. 6′5″ AMorrow is 1″ taller than Hinrich, and 6′4″ JJenkins is the same height. You're assuming LD will automatically start 6′1″LWilliams or 6′2″ DHarris next to Teague, but that's nowhere near an automatic assumption.
The fate of this yrs team rests in the hands of DFerry, as well as LDrew and his staff. If Ferry is able to acquire the type of SF he said that he wanted, this starting lineup will be solid. You mentioned how JJ provided solid INDIVIDUAL DEF and stopped Walls, Rose, Deron, and Wade, and I won't question that one bit. But how many times did you see a single Bulls starter do what you just described JJ did, and they were the NBAs 2nd ranked overall DEF?
Do you think any of our starters, or potential starters, expecially our Bigs, are as much as a DEF liability as Boozer, and wasn't KKorver also on last yrs Bulls team? TEAM DEF is the key to us improving defensively. You've got to stop thinking that INDIVIDUAL DEF is the only way to play good DEF. If you look at the top DEFs in the Eastern Conference, you'll see that most of them employ the TEAM DEF concept(HEAT, BULLS, CELTICS). Nobody provides better help(TEAM)DEF than Miami's DWade and Lebron.
One more thing. Size can be overrated. We had very good size sitting on our bench last yr, with 2 big, strong 7′ centers(Collins & Dampier), and how much of an overall impact did they have? The Miami Heat started two 6′8″ forwards, a 6′2″ PG(MChalmers)and a 6′4″ SG(DWade), and backed them up with another 6′2″ combo guard(NCole). I'm not even certain they even had a 7′ player on their entire roster, yet they're the NBAs 2011-12 champions?
With Ferry in charge, and with his stated committment to developing young players and draft picks, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see JJenkins and AMorrow get a lot of mins. This would be a radical departure from the organizations traditional approach of allowing its HCs to totally ignore the development of its rookie backcourt players.
Ferry has stated repeatedly that his plan is designed for the future of the Hawks, not the present. Therefore, that's why he hasn't entertained any trade talks that would send JSmith or AHorford to LA for PGasol, who's over 30yrs old. DHarris is entering his 9th season, while AMorrow his 4th. That would make Morrow more valuable to Ferry and his long term plan.
Of the 8 players Ferry acquired from 3 trades and 1 FA signing, I see him keeping LWilliams, AMorrow, and possibly JPetro. Teague and Josh will be resigned, and maybe Zaza.

Bleacher report gave a list of the 50 worse NBA players in Jan. and some of the notables:
Collins / Radmanovic / Stackhouse
Solomon Jones / Shellhead / Ivey
We have a history of being linked to these types of players.
Others: Oden / Milicic / Jianlian / Thabeet / Telfair / Jeffries
I would rather we go with youth than aging vets on a last hurrah. And its amazing to think that 7 guys from last year's roster will be on another NBA roster:
JJ / Marvin / Hinrich / Stack / Green / VRad / Collins
Now, if only T-Mac and Damp can get one more hurrah?

Patrick Ewing might be a good addition as an assistant coach or Paul Silas.
August 21st, 2012
12:34 pm
Any reference to how small was MIA's line up is moot. They had Lebron (standing at 6′8" but able to muscle out anyone in the league) and Wade (who is 6′4" but plays like he is 6′8"), two of the top #10 players in the league, plus a heavier Bosh who is 7′0" and played the C slot for significant stretches.
We don't have nothing similar to compensate the lack of size.
Also, you talk about Hinrich. Hinrich may be only 6′4" but he always played taller, being in the best efficient defending SF's throughout the league.
You cannot company a heady 6′4" with a rookie known for his defensive deficiencies and a guy who, although is 6′5" (Morrow) is a string bean and not an adept of defense.
You can't juggle numbers left and right to make your wishes materialize.
We are SMALLER and WORSE defensively and that cannot be compensated by pace and offense just like the article on the Bucks tells us clearly.
Defensively, with Jennings and Ellis the Bucks became the Bobcats and there is nothing that you can say about this roster which overrules the fact that detaches it from this pretty solid example.

12:51 pm
VALVA74-We have several players that play bigger and taller than their height. Josh certainly plays bigger than his size and height, and so does Horford, Teague, and IJohnson. Now JJ, on the other hand, didn't play as big as his size or height. Actually, you've proven my point by indicating that there are ways to compensate for a lack of height and/or size.
Being so called undersized doesn't automatically indicate a liability, as proven by Miami's smallish starting linup, and the Bad Boy Pistons' undersized 3 guard rotation or Dumars, Thomas, and Johnson. JJ definitely had the size and height to be a SF and SG, but it didn't help him as a rebounder, shot blocker, penetrator, or finisher at the rim. He simply lacked athleticism, plus he was a vertical jumper, just like Marvin and Dominique Wilkins.
August 21st, 2012
12:51 pm
Co-sign. Another example was Monta Ellis and Steph Curry. Those guys can light it up on offense, but it isn't enough to make up for the lack of defense (both individually, and team wide).
Ken S,
I agree that team defense is important. But nothing in LD's history suggests he knows how to coach good team defense. If this was football, he would be the offensive co-ordinator, so great team defense is not his forte. So the Hawks would have to find an assistant HC who is known for getting his guys to play defense.

doc, heard some of the Danny Ferry interview this am on 790 the zone.
He was asked point blank about the D12 negotiations with the Hawks. All he would say is that the new Orlando GM did not want to trade D12 to a divisional rival so thats why the trade with the Hawks stalled…From the Horses mouth..Of course Danny would not reveal who he offered to trade for D12..
Dummy..Orlando will be a non mother freaking factor for a while. Dummy.He passed on a much better deal from the Hawks than what he received from the Lakers..Dummy..

August 21st, 2012
1:43 pm
OBRIEN-Nothing in Popovich's history suggested he'd be able to switch to the uptempo fast breaking style that Ferry saw them do the last couple of yrs. Sometimes we're too quick to pass judgement on a player or HCs ability to adjust to certain situations.
While LD might be reluctant to make any drastic changes, the presence of DFerry will likely change all of that. As much as some might what to believe LD is as stubborn, defiant, and inflexible as Woodson was when the ASG gave him a playoff mandate, I just don't believe that. He might not successfully make the transition, but it won't be due to a lack of effort.
August 21st, 2012
1:44 pm
Prediction: IF Woody wins 60 plus games, he will be the coach of the year! If he goes 18-6 every 24 some odd games it will be a no brainer indeed.
August 21st, 2012
2:03 pm
SLIMJR-Let's face it, last yrs Hawks, with JJ, Marvin, and Hinrich, were often difficult for even us Hawks fans to watch. You can't expect us to become a team that other NBA fans will want to see until we field a team, and play a style of ball, that Hawk fans will want to see. All indications are that DFerry is putting together a team that might fit that criteria.
August 21st, 2012

slimj maybe we wouldnt include a sign and trade of mr kryptonite himself, jason "twin" collins!
that would surely be a deal breaker. heh heh
August 21st, 2012
2:18 pm
Dumars was one of the best defenders of his generation. He was short, but had the bulk, the smarts and the willingness to play lock on D.
August 21st, 2012
2:25 pm
Ken S,
Poppovich is in his 16th season as a HC with the Spurs, and he spent 4 years prior to that as Larry Brown's top assistant. LD is about to enter his 3rd year as a HC, and does not have the foundation (or players) that Poppovich has. That makes a big difference when it comes to making adjustments.
Can LD emphasize defense more? Sure. But I don't expect the Hawks to be better defensively, because they don't have the scheme, the players, or the right coach to do so.
August 21st, 2012
2:34 pm
I think LD knows he'll have to mold his system to fit his now highly active and influential GM if he wants a job. He can't play scared like Woody did, he's got to make the adjustment or he's outta here.
I for one like the changes. We have the flexibility to sign or trade for a good SF wing defender. I like our new ability to consistenly penetrate and also shoot the jumpers. Smoove will now be relegated to the block due to our abundance of shooters and Al can pick and pop/roll with all the penetration. If we move Smoove to SF and start ZaZa we solve our wing problem short term while giving Petro and Williams some run to see how they fit in short term. I for one think Petro can be an energy guy. He's done it against us several times. Williams I'm unsure, but he has size?
To me it seems everyone will need to step it up because they know Ferry will have them stepping out IMMEDIATELY regardles of their contract situation or "importance" to the team. Ferry wants a unit that can gel and play his style of basketball. I don't seeing him stop the madness till he gets it. Boom or Bust, they guys making changes we can at least be excited about seeing how players respond.
Essentially makes it a contract year for every player on our team. Thank you DF!

Actually, Conner is a pretty good and well respected coach.
Methinks he was a good hire [for LD] and quite possibly
is the reason LD is still employed.
Conner employs a multiple system; not rigid unlike Wdsn.
Also, Conner tends to employ match-ups very well,
exploiying our strong suits while hiding potential weaknesses.
Before everyone jumps on my case:
LD`s won / loss record [reg season] is 20 games above .500
over his 1st two seasons.
I do not think he did it with smoke and mirroes;
I think LC [Conner] did it with defense.

OBRIEN-No matter how much experience Pop has, or who he coached with or under, he's known traditionally for his slow it down precision half court OFF, as is LBrown. Again, there's nothing in his past, or in his training, that would suggest he could or would switch to a fastbreaking uptempo style of OFF, but he did. If he can successfully do it after yrs of outstanding success using a totally different style, why is it so hard to believe LDrew can do it?
VALVA74-I totally agree with everything you said about Joe Dumars. However, your comments only prove that there are other factors at play other than height, or the lack thereof, that contributes to being a solid defender or OFF player. Stop worrying about our lack of ideal height, because it's not going to change anything.
We'll have to go into battle with what we have, unless Ferry orchestrates another trade or trades to change things. Either way, we'll most likely end up with 6′2″ Teague, 6′1″ LWilliams, and 6′4″ JJenkins as keybackcourt players.
Sometimes there are simply players that can't be stopped, regardless of size and height. What you try to do in those instances is limit, restrict, contain, or neutralize what they do best. One way to neutralize a seemingly unstoppable player is to limit the effectiveness of his strengths, and have your player attack his weaknesses.
KKorver is never going to come close to stopping a player like LeBron James. However, he can neutralize him offensively by utilizing his superior long range shooting ability to keep him out on the perimeter, which eliminates his effectiveness as a premier help defender. You do the same thing with Korver defensively that you'd do with most defenders trying to defend LeBron, you give him help.

OBRIEN-I don't think the Hawks have to improve defensively, since we finished 6th in total DEF last yr. If we can maintain a simular position as a top 10 DEF team, the OFF impovement is where we'll see our major improvement.
August 21st, 2012
4:01 pm
* Our roster is built to be a better Defensive team than Offense.
* Offensively, we are built to be a better than average to great
perimeter / outside shooting team [1st].
Which should / will open up the middle and or the inside.
** Think … Outside – In
* To Run:
" a team must acquire the ball "
(1) by Rebound
(2) by steal or turnover
**[e g; Defense note # 1]-&-(I consider rebounding part of defense)

Here's some interesting info about our prospects without JJ.
August 21st, 2012
4:26 pm
I say start Korver at the 2, Smith at the 3, Horford at the 4, and Zaza at the 5. Come off the bench with Williams, Stevenson, & Marrow, Ivan Jonhson as back ups.
The most interesting thing about the Hawks is they have a trade exception, a 9 millions dollar expiring contract (Harris) and cap space. The Hawks need a Superstar.

Depending on your skin, 3-5 treatments are recommended for best results and they are typically spaced a month apart. Our non-ablative laser does not injure the skin's surface as the ablative CO2 lasers do. The good thing is that there is no downtime, no pain and no need for special facial creams or ointments.
You will enjoy a more even complexion and texture, and appear more youthful. You can have a laser facial at lunch, put makeup on immediately after, and continue on with your day.
Sounds worth it, doesn't it

Laser Facial Rejuvenation known famously as "the lunchtime facial" is a big favorite for many women on the go as well as Hollywood Celebrities. This nonablative laser tightens the skin without pain, downtime or injury to the skin. The Candela Laser Facial heats up the deeper core layers of the skin and brings imperfections to the surface to lessen or remove them. Most importantly, it also promotes collagen production.

"I was impressed by the immediate improvement in my wrinkles! The "before" and "after" photos told the story. I am definitely going back." Jane from Lynnfield -7/9/13
Micro-Needling Facial Rejuvenation
The MicroPen can improve and reinvigorate damaged and aging skin by harnessing the mechanism associated with the body's natural wound healing processes.
Skin tightening, lifting and rejuvenation
Scar improvement
Stretch mark improvement
General dermabrasion
Minimizes pore size
Improves acne scars
Improves wrinkles and fine lines
Minimal discomfort
No cross infection - disposable needles
The MicroPen automated micro-needling device is the most effective, reliable instrument currently available for performing Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy (PCIT). This elegant tool can be used for the successful treatment of a variety of indications.
MicroPen creates a series of predictable, controlled epidermal and dermal micro-injuries, thereby stimulating the body's immune response to produce new collagen and elastin. MicroPen is used in combination with Hyaluronic Acid peptides gel to hydrate and re-epithelialize the skin. The human body has a natural repair process that reacts to injury. The MicroPen works with the bodies own natural rejuvenation processes by initiating this
response with each treatment.
A Hydra-dermabrasion Facial is a treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydrating all in one treatment. Hydra-dermabrasion is a similar concept to a micro-dermabrasion, however the primary difference is the lack of any crystals used to assist in the exfoliation process. Instead it uses specially designed tips which exfoliates and removes impurities while infusing serums that cleanse, hydrate and brighten your skin during the hydra-dermabrasion treatment. After just one hydro-dermabrasion, skin will be left plumped, dewy and glowing with youthful radiance.
Unique hydra-dermabrasion tips, jets out thin and tiny stream of water that polish the skin while simultaneously a high speed vacuum suction off dead skin cells and impurities. Hydra-dermabrasion is indicated for the improvement in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, congested and enlarged pores (e.g., blackheads), oily or acne-prone skin and hyperpigmentation (i.e. dark areas of the skin, such as brown age spots).
The main advantage lies in that by using only water, this hydra-dermabrasion facial treatment is much more gentle on the skin, and enables treatment diversification by using different skin care products for different functions like whitening products, lactic acid, salicylic acid and more, to achieve various aims on customers' request.
Laser Facial Rejuvenation : Micro-Needling : Hydra-dermabrasion : Microdermabrasion
Wrinkle Reduction : IPL with E-Light
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive "skin rejuvenating" technique employed to help improve the texture and appearance of the skin. Microdermabrasion is a mechanical exfoliation with a diamond-tip hand piece. It works by removing the uppermost layer of dead skin cells. It gives results you can't achieve with a home microdermabrasion kit.
The diamond microdermabrasion (crystal-free) system replaces the micro-crystal flow with a diamond tip wand. Provides a Non-Surgical skin resurfacing procedure by using sterile diamond heads to peel and rub off the dead cells at the top skin layer followed by vacuuming/suction removing particles along with any dirt and dead skin. This procedure removes skin debris, scars, blemishes, wrinkles and uneven pigmentation of the skin, to restore cell activity promoting healthy skin. 20min session, 4 weeks apart
It helps improve the appearance of the skin and the circulation and generally gives the skin a healthy glow. Once the outer layer of skin has been removed, the layers of skin beneath then increase their production of new skin cells to renew the surface layer.
RF uses radio frequencies to heat the skin causing collagen growth and a temporary plumping of the skin. RF SkinTightening is a non-invasive body contouring and tissue tightening procedure that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to effectively tighten and rejuvenate the skin. Our device delivers radio frequency (RF) energy into the deeper layers of skin, which causes a heating action that immediately tightens skin tissues and structures. Radio frequency is not the same as laser, however it is often used in conjunction with laser treatments in a clinical setting.
RF can be used in non-surgical brow lifts, tightening loose facial skin to restore a more youthful appearance. It may also be used for the treatment of cellulite and stretch marks. For the body, this has been successfully used for lax abdominal skin, to lift arms and thighs and even the buttocks.
The RF procedure is also known as ThermaLift, Thermage, and Thermoplastic contouring.
Radio Frequency – Wrinkle Reduction & Skin Tightening
IPL /Photofacial with e-Light
E-Light system combines both RF & IPL photo technology. Works using light energy to preheat the target area which creates thermal path for Radio Frequency (RF) to travel, then Electrical Energy is delivered directly to the hair follicle or targeted vascular and pigmented lesions.
E-Light IPL, a photo facial, is used to address the following concerns:
Skin Rejuvenation-fine lines, wrinkles and large pores, age spots, sun-induced freckles, birthmarks, spider veins, redness caused by broken capillaries, acne, symptoms of rosacea, scarring, and other blemishes.
Permanent Hair Reduction
By using the E-Light IPL system the unwanted hair can be removed from all parts of the body. E-Light combines the already proven Intense Pulse Light with Radio Frequency making it so effective that it can treat dark skin and light hair.
Skin Tightening & Rejuvenation
The E-Light IPL system helps to regenerate new collagen and elastin, enhance skin elasticity and firmness, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, minimize large pores. This process will reveal a naturally younger appearance with a clearer and more even photo complexion.
Pigmentation & Vascular Treatment
E-Light is also a fast, safe and highly effective method of reducing unwanted pigmentation such as age spots, sun-induced freckles, solar lentigos, birthmarks. It also can help with reducing appearance of vascular lesions including redness, broken capillaries, spider veins, acne and rosecea.
Between 3 to 8 treatments are recommended, three weeks apart.
Most treatments will take approximately 15-30 mins.

1861 - A Snake Sent By Mail
One Philander Pierce lived unhappily with his wife, and she
went alone to Chicago, where she received several sharp letters
from him. One afternoon the clerks in the post-office, at the
city named, were thrown into consternation by a series of
agonized screams, evidently coming from a woman. Hastening to
the spot whence the noise proceeded, they found Mrs. Pierce
speechless with terror, but able to point to a green adder, then
crossing the floor and seeking the air of perfect freedom. Some of the men fled, but
enough remained firm to capture the serpent, which was taken to the City
Marshal's office. There an explanation ensued. It seems that the woman had found a
thin pasteboard box and a letter at the office, and had hastened to
open the former, not doubting that it was a pledge of returning
affection. She was surprised to hear from within at a slight hiss, and was quite
transfixed with horror when, from the uncovered, prison, shot the ugly green
head of the snake. Just then she dropped the box and the screams came in.
The letter accompanying this infernal machine was hideously sarcastic, but
not otherwise entertaining.

Eugene Pratt, the crippled tramp who alleges brutal treatment at the hands of the police, is a fraud.

Barn-burning appears to be an actual profession, but it is to be regretted that not one of the villains engaged in the dastardly practice has as yet been captured. Between 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Patton, of 85 Wesson street, observed a light burning in the barn in rear of the house, and sent her son, Thomas Patton, to investigate. The young man found that some person or persons had been in the premises and kindled a fire, but whether for the purpose of lodging there or destroying the place he could not tell, though he inclines to the latter idea. Mr. Patton extinguished the fire hurriedly and then ran into the alley, where he noticed two fellows running away. They appeared to be young men, one wearing a dark coat and hat and the other a light coat and white straw hat.

After 1941 - Folks I Have Known Personally and Otherwise - William McCanney
by James M. Woodman
There are not many historical storries that are of greater interest than the one telling of the movement of population, in all directions from the settlement known as Chicago, in the years 1831-1835.
During those most epochal years in the developing of northern Illinois, men, women and children from New England and lands across the Atlantic, were frequently arriving by boat or crude overland conveyances, expecting to find a modern Utopia. The mud and swamps proved unattractive to many of these fortune-seeking adventurers. They soon tired of the settlement's monotonous life and struck off into the virgin country.
The well defined Indian trails that led to the north and north-west proved alluring to many, and soon there were erected along the north shore of Lake Michigan and the banks of the Des Plaines and Chicago rivers, the log cabins of the whites who had come to take over the lands wereon had tread none others than the tribes of red men.
One of the attractive locations reached by the old trail that traversed the lake shore country was Grosse Point, a settlement back some distance from the water's edge, later to become a part of the beautiful village of Wilmette. It was to this place, during those early pioneer days that Michael and Mary McCanney, natives of the Emerald Isle, came to make their home. It was here, as farmers, they reared a family of eight children, one of whom was the man whose life and residence in Waukegan, prompted me to present him to the readers of this newspaper--William Martin McCanney.
He was born March 4, 1867, on the McCanney farm at Grosse Point, in Cook county. His boyhood was spent working on the land and attending the common schools. His playtime was spent in the manner of youngsters of that period. Occasionally, visits to the lake shore and close-up investigation of the old Grosse Point lighthouse, sails of ships far out upon the water and exploration of grounds upon which the Potawatami chieftains had held their pow-wows, implanted upon his mind the glories of a time that would pass away, to live only in his memory so long as it might endure.
He engaged in the grocery and meat business in Wilmette and succeeded. He took an active
interest in the affairs of the village. Politically he was a Democrat, but in a strong Republican district, the voters elected him to the office of commissioner of public works, where he officiated in a manner satisfactory to those who had chosen him for a most important position.
In 1897 he came to Waukegan and engaged in the tavern business. He purchased the Henry
Herman property, 34 N. Sheridan rd. for a home, later erecting on a portion of it, the three-story building at the southwest corner of Sheridan rd. and Madison st. He also built the three-story building at 7 S. Genesee st., and occupied the ground floor as a place of business. He acquired other properties in the city, among them the old Dr. J.M.G. Carter place at Clayton and County sts.
In 1899 he was elected and served one term as alderman from the First ward. His interest in and for Waukegan was manifested in many ways. In 1924 he retired from the tavern business and became superintendent of public works at the Speedway hospital, Maywood, Ill. He remained in the place for ten years after which he engaged in the real estate business at Maywood.
He was married to Miss Christina Sasch who was reared on a farm owned by her parents and now occupied by Ravina Park. They had three children: Florence (Mrs. R.B.Johnston), William J., both of Waukegan, and Ruth (Mrs. M. Burkert), Beech Grove, Ind.
William M. McCanney passed away Oct. 2, 1941.
Mrs. McCanney preceded him in death Oct. 28, 1937.

The Parliament of Queensland is the legislature of Queensland, Australia. According to the state's constitution, the Parliament consists of the Queen and the Legislative Assembly. It is the only unicameral state parliament in the country. The upper chamber, the Legislative Council, was abolished in 1922. The Legislative Assembly sits in Parliament House in the state capital, Brisbane.
The Parliament was founded 22 May 1860, less than a year after the Colony of Queensland was created in June 1859. Since 2003, live audio broadcasts have streamed through the Internet from the Parliament while it is in session. In June 2007 the Parliament started broadcasting video of parliamentary proceedings.The Assembly has 89 Members of Parliament (MPs). These are intended to represent approximately the same population in each electorate. Voting is by the Optional Preferential Voting system (OPV). Elections are held approximately once every three years.
