Cool Sculpting
Say goodbye to muffin tops and love handles.
CoolSculpting® is the coolest, most innovative, non-surgical way to lose those annoying bumps and bulges of stubborn fat.
This revolutionary technology targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges.
Tickle Lipo
We are proud to offer Tickle Liposuction to the Rochester, MN area. With very limited downtime, and the ability to meticulously sculpt the body, Tickle Liposuction offers an incredible number of benefits. This new technology uses low frequency infrasonic vibration that liquefies fat cells without damaging any of the surrounding tissue.
Tickle Liposuction is a Fast Procedure
Tickle Lipo is estimated to be up to 25% faster than traditional lipo. This is achieved through the use of a state-of-the-art vibrating cannula that quickly eliminates unwanted fat.
No General Anesthesia Required
Tickle Lipo is remarkably comfortable and nearly pain-free. This is possible because of the 10Hz frequency at which the cannula vibrates. The vibration activates the nerves that block the transmission of pain signals to the brain. This is where Tickle Lipo gets its name from, you will feel a tickling sensation instead of pain during the procedure.
Superior Contouring and Smoother Results
Many liposuction techniques use heat or ultrasound that can cause an uneven appearance. Tickle Lipo, however, uses infrasonic energy to break down fat cells. The result is a smoother, more refined overall appearance.
One of the Safest Forms of Liposuction
Tickle lipo features a state-of-the-art technology that immediately shuts off the cannula when contact is made with non-fatty tissues. This ensures that only fat is destroyed and healthy tissue is preserved.
- What is the recovery time like?
You can be back to work in as little as 1 day. Because general anesthesia is not used, you can be back up on your feet as soon as the procedure is finished. However, you will have to wear a pressure garment for 1-4 weeks to ensure the best results.
- How good are the results?
Results are immediate, but will vary from person to person. The areas where the lipo was performed with continue to improve over several weeks and months.
- What areas of the body can I get Tickle lipo on?
Most often Tickle Lipo is performed on the thighs, back, abdomen and buttocks, but other areas can be treated.
What is BodyFX?
BodyFx is a new type of non-invasive system that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, remove fat and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
How does it work?
BodyFX use a combination of vacuum and radiofrequency energy to gently tighten skin and the fibrous attachments that result in cellulite.
Vein Removal
This is a method by which spider veins can be eradicated. No anesthesia is required. The procedure is the current state of the art for spider vein elimination. A usual treatment takes about 20-30 minutes. The veins are injected with a liquid solution which is converted into a foam (sort of like a shaving cream). The foam then spreads throughout the spider veins. Over a few weeks, these veins will dissolve. Sometimes several treatments may be necessary.

Sun Damage & Age Spots
Here is a bright solution at Essence Skin Clinic for having had too much sunlight.
As we age, our skin's natural ability to fend off UV rays from the sun begins to deteriorate, and as a result, we see the development of age spots and sun damage. Essence Skin Clinic offers the most advanced and widest variety of BroadBand Light (BBL) Laser technology, also referred to as photo rejuvenation.
Using our BBL Laser System, our professionals can precisely treat age and sun spots, freckles, blotchiness, small facial veins, and many other skin conditions. Your treatment will be tailored to match your skin type and your desired results.
Your BBL Treatment at Essence Skin Clinic
Any area of your body can be treated. The most common areas are those that have had the most exposure to the damaging effects of sunlight including the face, neck, back of the hands, upper chest, and shoulders.
Each treatment takes approximately 20-30 minutes.
The pulses feel like a warm rubber band snapping against your skin. Some patients may experience mild discomfort, so a topical anesthetic cream can be applied 30-60 minutes prior to treatment.
Following each treatment, skin may appear red and flushed for up to 12 hours, and/or brown spots may become darker. Redness usually disappears within an hour, and brown spots fade over the course of 1-5 weeks.
PRP for Hair Growth
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy is used in hair restoration for natural looking results. With a thin needle, your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is injected into the scalp. Then the growth factors in your blood cells do their job and hair growth is naturally stimulated.
PRP Hair Restoration is suitable for both men and women. It is a state of the art, non surgical, totally natural, alternative medical procedure used for the treatment of hair loss or hair thinning. It is an injectable treatment which uses the patient's own blood.
Our blood plasma (PRP) contains active growth factors which can promote hair growth. Helping to restore one's confidence, the end result is a fuller, healthier looking head of hair.
Waxing is considered to be the most effective method for removing unwanted hairs from practically any part of the body.
Waxing is the epilation method which ensures complete removal of hair shafts from underneath surface of the skin. Waxing is also one of the long lasting temporary hair removal methods.
Generally it is observed that it takes almost 3-8 weeks for new hair to grow back in the waxed area. The major advantage of waxing is that any body parts like face, eyebrow, underarms, arms, legs, bikini line, etc. can be waxed at Essence Skin Clinic.
Juvederm & Botox
When it comes to BOTOX and dermal fillers there is no other provider that can match the expertise Essence Skin Clinic offers.
BOTOX® are purified proteins that are used to inhibit muscle movement in the face. By limiting the movement that creates the wrinkles, our skin is able to smooth itself out. BOTOX® treatments consist of a few quick injections around the trouble area. Treatments are fast and almost painless.

Brow lift
Bunny lines
Oral commissures & chin
Platysmal bands (neck)
Treatment of hyperhidrosis (palms and underarms)
Treatment of migraines
HCG for Weight Loss
HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a compound or a chemical that is found in the body of a pregnant woman. It is excreted through the urine. Many people today turn to HCG as a cure for obesity. HCG comes in two forms. You can either take the HCG drops or the HCG injections.
People who actually tried the product said that their craving for food was minimized by HCG. They used to eat a lot. They have even tried dieting, but it doesn't seem to work for them. The thing about dieting is that you will always have the craving for food. It is not always easy to have that self-control especially if your refrigerator is full of mouth-watery food items.
Unlike other types of diets out there, you do not have to worry about pricey foods or other supplies with HCG diet. In fact, you will not only experience weight loss but you will also save money from the foods you will eat. Less food equals less money. Our customers rave about the HCG diet because they lose weight quickly while saving money. That's a fact.
Benefits of the HCG Injections Diet:
The HCG injection diet highly appeals to wannabe dieters because it focuses on fat-laden areas of the body such as the stomach, thighs, hips, buttocks, and arms. A lot of dieters claim that this scheme has helped them lose weight right away. Most people who participate in the HCG injection diet claim to lose at least 2 pounds per day. Some even have promising results at 5 pounds lost a day. If you're on a HCG injection diet, you can lose more weight by incorporating fiber-rich vegetables in your daily diet. Drinking more water can help augment the weight loss process as well.
If you want to keep the weight off after your HCG injection diet, then you need to keep in mind to eat healthy foods and exercise regularly. You will definitely gain weight if you go back to your unhealthy eating ways.
Laser Hair Removal
Imagine never having to shave your legs or underarms again, to be self conscious about facial hair, or to have razor burn on your bikini line. And for the guys, finally getting rid of your back and shoulder hair. These are just a few of the many benefits of laser hair removal and electrolysis. Just about any part of your body can be treated and in just minutes
Today, with the remarkable advances in laser technology, unwanted hair can be removed safely and affordably. Laser hair removal has been extensively researched, tested and proven highly effective in permanently reducing unwanted hair. It works on any area of the body where smooth skin is desired: underarms; face; neck; legs; shoulders; back; bikini line or elsewhere.
The Essence Skin Clinic has an approach to laser hair removal that provides the correct solution for your needs.
No-Cost, No-Obligation Consultations: Our friendly, knowledgeable, professional staff will customize a Laser Hair Removal program specifically to meet your individual wants, needs, desires, lifestyle and schedule.
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
Laser is a faster, gentler way to remove unwanted hair, with long-term results. It applies precisely controlled pulses of energy reaching into the hair follicles that lie beneath the skin. The energy heats the hair right down to the bottom of the root, destroying it without damaging the surrounding tissue or skin.
What does laser hair removal feel like?
Each pulse, which lasts less than one second, produces a slight tingling feeling. In particularly sensitive areas, such as the upper lip, it may feel like a quick, light pinch.
What about side effects?
Most people experience no side effects at all, though a few exhibit some short-term local reddening of the surrounding skin. You can return to your regular activities immediately after treatment, although it is advisable to keep the skin protected from exposure to direct sunlight for a short period of time.
How many treatments will I need?
Laser technology destroys hair that is in the active growth phase so repeat treatments will be needed to target hair that was not affected at the time of the previous treatments. The number of treatments you will need depends on your hair and skin color and type and the part of your face or body being treated. Usually four to six treatments are required

What director Régis Roinsard has done to make Populaire is essentially ask the question: "What if I made Rocky but substituted the boxing for typing?". It's about a nobody rising up the ranks to world fame, engaging in a shaky but ultimately powerful relationship along the way, all the while keeping themselves reigned in and not letting the changing world around them change who they are inside. This can also be seen in films like Cool Runnings, Dodgeball, The Blind Side and basically every underdog movie around.
One of the most impressive things about the film is how it makes a typing contest gripping. The trick is probably having strong, likable characters who you can root for. If you can create that, you can make a good film about practically anything. Rose (played by the wonderful Déborah François) wins us over with her cute clumsiness and striking beauty, while Louis cuts a stern, hard to approach figure but still has big heart that only needs some unearthing. It's their opposing shells that bring create the chemistry, but ultimately their matching warm cores that have us root for them.
Populaire is strangely refreshing in its wrapping up of loose ends. For years, the story of the underdog winning the competition while simultaneously winning the heart of their sweet love became so common that it became a cliché, which led to a whole host of films trying to buck that trend, and have the hero perhaps not win the competitions, but win the moral victories which, depending on your philosophical point of view, is even bigger. But now that has become the cliché of underdog movies, so most of the time we're watching it expecting the hero not to actually win. At the risk of giving away spoilers (although it's hard to spoil a movie about typing), Populaire doesn't feel the need to be modest with its heroes and heroines, and I have to say there was nothing cliché about it.
Roinsard has crafted a delightful, charming little picture that instead of shying away from the generic genre tropes, opts to fill them with as much joy and vigor as possible. Don't let subtitles put you off.

The Funeral Memorial Service
What is the purpose of the funeral memorial service? No matter what form it takes, this ritual has two clear purposes: to help the bereaved family say farewell to their loved one; and to dispose of the body of the deceased respectfully.
If your thinking about the funeral memorial service as a means to saying farewell, it is important to have some goals for this service. Goals might include reaffirming spiritual values, healing old family wounds, or even helping your loved one make the transition from this life to the next.
All the decisions that you will need to make will be easier if your initial goals are clear. How do you accomplish goals and how do you turn them into a funeral memorial service? Start with a general picture. What type of funeral service do you have in mind? How many people will be attending? Where do you plan on having the service? Will there be music, readings from the Bible or other favorite book? Will there be a eulogy?
Think about your reasons for choosing this type of service. For example, if it is a small service, perhaps that is how the deceased wished it to be, maybe you want to keep the cost down, or family members prefer simplicity.
Consider creative alternatives in the location of the funeral memorial service. For example, a place that meant something special to the deceased. A school assembly in a gymnasium may be appropriate for a teacher. You may even consider having two services; for instance, one may be small and theother service a larger public event.
Consider your finances. Don't go into debt for a funeral or strain your family's cash flow. The expenses surrounding a death can add up and get costly. So plan wisely and carefully according to what you can afford.
Remember that the funeral memorial service is a celebration of the life of the deceased. Create a memorial funeral program or memorial table so that others can view and celebrate the life as well.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Police on Tuesday have identified the two people found shot to death in a Kansas City home.
The deadly shooting happened near 35th and Norton Monday afternoon, according to police. Police were called to the home on a welfare check just after 2 p.m. Monday. When they arrived, they found the two victims, a man and a woman, dead inside the home.
The victims have been identified as 32-year-old Michael Scott and 21-year-old Ja'Sean C. Rice.
Police do not have any suspect information at this time.
As police work to figure out what happened, family of the potential victims are also looking for answers.
"It's sad that you have to get a phone call that your family member is gone," Bridget Johnson said.
Dozens of Johnson's family members got the same call Monday afternoon, that her cousin, a father of four was killed.
"There's babies that are being raised without their father now. There's sisters and brothers that's not going to be able to talk to their brother. There's a mother that's not going to be able to hug her son again, and all for what?" cousin Lakasiha Williams said.
Johnson knows the pain of not being able to hug her son. Her son, 23-year-old Anthony Johnson, was murdered back in 2015.
"It's sad, another tragedy for our family, and we've got to pull together as a family," Johnson said.
The family spent hours just outside the crime scene tape Monday as police waited to be able to get back inside the home. Investigators are still trying to determine more about what happened.
Just over three years after that first tragedy, Johnson is once again hoping someone can give her answers to what she can only sum up right now as more senseless violence.
"If anybody around this area 35th and Norton, if they saw anything, speak up. Let us know," she said.
Anyone with information that could help police is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.

Was that an anti-Obama Tweet? (Reader Poll)
Calling Dr. Rorschach
I'm glad the Muslim Brotherhood is out of power in Egypt. From the inception of the 2011 protests against Hosni Mubarak, we warned that western media, particularly the NY Times and its writer Roger Cohen, misunderstood the threat of Islamist supremacy in the revolution.
We were right, although the ability of the opposition to coalesce over a year later was a surprise, as was the military's willingness to get involved. It was the economy, stupid, and the MB's overreaching.
That said, you can't ignore the fact that Mohamed Morsi was the duly elected President of Egypt. Call it a coup d'état or whatever you want, at least admit what just happened even if you like the result.
Around the time Morsi was removed yesterday, I sent out a tweet listing respective percentage wins of Morsi and Obama in the 2012 elections which placed each of them in their presidencies.
Morsi won 51.73%-48.27%, Obama 51.1%-47.2%
— Legal Insurrection (@LegInsurrection) July 3, 2013
The reactions are below, but first, a quick poll, Was that an anti-Obama Tweet? (Poll closes midnight Pacific time tonight)
There were some humorous reactions:
This is relevant, because Gallup also predicted Romney winning in Egypt. RT @LegInsurrection: Morsi won 51.73%-48.27%, Obama 51.1%-47.2%
— Brett LoGiurato (@BrettLoGiurato) July 3, 2013
Amazing what a strong economy can do RT @LegInsurrection: Morsi won 51.73%-48.27%, Obama 51.1%-47.2%
— Trenton White (@trentmwhite) July 3, 2013
@daveweigel @LegInsurrection Same computerized election system…
— Casey Stewart (@cmstew777) July 3, 2013
@daveweigel @LegInsurrection Morsi's family (wives & kids) voted 27-13 that he not run. But like Mitt, he made the sacrifice & ran.
— Jerry Skurnik (@PrimeNewYork) July 3, 2013
And also reactions from people who I think understood the point:
Coup with his head! #cough RT @LegInsurrection: Morsi won 51.73%-48.27%, Obama 51.1%-47.2%
— Sana Saeed (@SanaSaeed) July 3, 2013
Next up: Supreme Leader Mitt Romney RT @LegInsurrection: Morsi won 51.73%-48.27%, Obama 51.1%-47.2%
— daveweigel (@daveweigel) July 3, 2013
But mostly defensiveness and "but Bush" complaints (including directed at Ben Smith of Buzzfeed for retweeting my tweet):
@LegInsurrection @BuzzFeedBen Nice, Ben. In bed with Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Jonah Goldberg & that wingnut lawyer now?
— Karen J (@KaJo503) July 3, 2013
George W. had even smaller margin, right? RT @LegInsurrection: Morsi won 51.73%-48.27%, Obama 51.1%-47.2%
— Mansoor Khadir (@MansoorGuerilla) July 3, 2013
@RhetoricPJ @LegInsurrection Bush numbers weren't even that high!
— Jeff Kurr (@jkurr) July 3, 2013
*sips tea* RT @LegInsurrection: Morsi won 51.73%-48.27%, Obama 51.1%-47.2%

24 November 2018
The 2799 Queen's York Rangers Air Rifle Team has been busy this year with a number of practices. We welcome back many returning members as well as the new juniors and seniors who have advanced! With 22 cadets working towards 1 common goal of making the 2019 Team, the competition is going to be tough. Hard work and dedication will be key! It's going to be an exciting year!
On Saturday 24 November 2018, Coach Kasper choose 5 of the 22 cadets to participate in the 17th Annual Major R. Paul Bawden Air Rifle Competition. The team was comprised of MWO Maya Neumann, MWO Hannah Gabriel, WO Nicholas Ertl, MCpl Sam Parisi and Trp Brendan Ross.
For some team members this was a refresher on how competitions run and getting back into the swing of things. For others, this was their first competition experience. The team performed well and started the year off strong with a GOLD MEDAL PERFORMANCE.
The Bawden shoot hosts 25 teams comprised of 125 athletes. In addition to the GOLD Medal performance as a team, 3 of the 5 members placed in the top 10 overall. Congratulations to Nicholas Ertl (4th), Maya Neumann (7th) and Sam Parisi (9th) on their success. Being in the top 10 of 125 athletes is a nice way to start out the year!
At these competitions there is always a junior category as well. This year there were approximately 50 juniors at the Bawden Shoot (minimum of 2 per team) and our very own Samara Parisi took home the GOLD in this category as well!
A GREAT start to the year for these athletes and an exciting time for our corps.
Congratulations All!

Tournament de Tortilla: Vote for L.A.'s Top Taco
March Madness has given way to a Final Four of Los Angeles tacos. Here's how to sample all four this weekend.
Asking an Angeleno about the best taco in L.A. is almost asking for trouble. But the blog LA Taco has gone there—and how!—creating a March Madness-style bracket pitting 32 local tacos against each other. Two salsa-strewn rounds later, the Final Four of tacos have been named, and it's about to get ugly. Voting closes April 4 at midnight, so why not spend this weekend sampling all four so you can make an informed choice? Here's how we would embark upon this trail of tacos.
Ricky's Fish Tacos: Start here since Ricky only operates his deep fryers during the day, slinging his Baja-style fish tacos in a hair salon parking lot in East Hollywood (seriously). Check his opening and closing times via Twitter—usually 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, or until he runs out—and prepare yourself for delicate, golden-battered deliciousness.

House Schedules FirstNet Oversight Hearing
The House Communications Subcommittee has scheduled a
hearing, "Oversight of the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) and
Emergency Communications," on March 14.
The hearing will look at the current status of the network,
which was created by FCC broadcast incentive auction legislation and will be
funded by the auctions.
Witnesses will come from both the private sector and
FirstNet representatives.
"Last Congress we took concrete steps to
improve emergency communications when we passed the Middle Class Tax Relief and
Job Creation Act," said Subcommittee chairman Greg Walden (R-Ore.) in a
statement. "This hearing will provide oversight to ensure that both public
safety officials and the public have access to effective, open lines of
communication during an emergency."

Drug reform is about so much more than drugs, it's about:
Respecting People's Freedom and Autonomy
- Respect for a person's freedom and autonomy should be the default rule in a free society.
- Responsible drug use that does not harm others should not be punished.
Restoring Civil Liberties
- Reforming Asset Forfeiture Laws
- Restoring the Fourth Amendment
- Reversing the Militarization of Our Police
Protecting Private Citizens & Law Enforcement Officers
- Reducing Gang Warfare, Gun Crime, and Violent Crime
- Re-establishing Trust between Citizens & Police
- Focusing Law Enforcement Resources on Violent Crime and Property Crime
Supporting Individuals, Families, and Communities in Need
- Enabling addicts and victims of abuse to get the help they need
- Stopping the assault on disadvantaged communities and families
- Closing racial disparities and education gaps
Establishing Justice
- Limiting the overcriminalization of our private lives
- Lowering stratospheric incarceration rates
- Reducing disenfranchisement, especially of young black men
Saving Money
- Lowering the Costs of Government
- Refocusing Public Resources Intelligently
I propose truly legalizing marijuana in Washington, decriminalizing harder drugs, and adopting a rational, evidence-based regulatory policy.
