FRANCIS STAFFORD, whose portrait is presented in this connection, is a public-spirited citizen of Oneida, a man of good judgment in affairs, and one whose
counsel is sought in matters pertaining to the common weal. He was born March 31, 1843, in the town of Fenner, which was also the birthplace of his father, Joseph Stafford, Jr. His grandfather, Joseph Stafford, Sr., was born in Pennsylvania, July 6, 1798, and died in Madison County, New York, October 18,
1870. His great-grandfather, David Stafford, was one of the early pioneers of Madison County, New York. He bought and cleared a large tract of land, and lived long to enjoy the fruits of his toil, dying at the age of ninety-four years. Joseph Stafford, Sr., in his young manhood followed the trade of carpenter and joiner. Later in life he moved from Fenner to Ontario County, and bought a farm one and one-half miles from Bloomfield, henceforth devoting himself to its cultivation. He married Polly Ann Jones, who was born November 7, 1800, in Massachusetts, of which State her parents were also natives. She died in West Bloomfield, N. Y., April 9, 1870.

So, we should make the blue water navy's fuel supply subject to adverse growing conditions from drought to malicious dispersal of biological agents in the biofuel crop belt? What a great way to reduce America's security while spending four times as much to do so.
Jet Fuel-Gate Is Obama's New Solyndra – Ecofanaticism: SolyndraGate was no isolated case of corrupt government misspending. The U.S. Navy was just forced to buy 450,000 gallons of biofuels from an Obama-connected firm at an outrageous $16 per gallon.
The massive Obama stimulus was supposed to generate millions of jobs, but the $535 million loan guarantee it gave to solar panel maker Solyndra on the eve of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy illustrated the fundamental incompetence of Obama's neo-Keynesian economic ideology.
Now we find the Navy partnering with the Agriculture Department to purchase hundreds of thousands of gallons of alternative biofuel in place of standard JP-5 fuel for Navy aircraft — the biggest federal purchase of biofuel ever.
It's part of the White House's "we can't wait for Congress" strategy as the 2012 election year looms. But JP-5 typically costs less than $4 a gallon. If a family on a budget started filling up with $16-a-gallon gas, it might want to adopt the motto, "we can't wait to go broke."
A look at the lucky seller of this environmentalist version of the proverbial $600 Pentagon toilet seat indicates that the move is not just wasteful, but ethically suspect.
As J.E. Dyer noted over the weekend on the Hot Air Green Room, "a member of Obama's presidential transition team, T. J. Glauthier, is a 'strategic advisor' at Solazyme, the California company that is selling a portion of the biofuel to the Navy. Glauthier worked — shock, shock — on the energy-sector portion of the 2009 stimulus bill."
Solazyme had already gotten a nearly $22 million chunk of change out of the taxpayers thanks to the 2009 stimulus. We heard the ludicrous excuse last week from Obama Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, as quoted in the National Journal, that "we are doing this for one simple reason: It makes us better fighters" because "our use of fossil fuels is a very real threat to our national security and to the U.S. Navy ability to protect America and project power overseas."
What about the "very real threat" to the Navy of not having enough money for the ships, fighters and ammunition it needs to protect America? President Obama's assault on the Pentagon could scrap 60 of the Navy's ships, including two carrier groups.
The biofuel will be used next summer by — we're not making this up — "the Great Green Fleet Carrier Strike Force" in exercises near Hawaii. Mabus painted the picture of America's great naval force advancing from sails to coal to diesel to nuclear, and now finally to biofuels. But if we keep starving the Navy, it may soon not have enough loose change to repair the sails on Old Ironsides. (IBD)

Rounding up high school football action among recruits committed to Oregon …
Running back Dontre Wilson of DeSoto (Texas) ran for 119 yards and four touchdowns as Eagles defended their No. 2 overall state ranking, No. 1 in their class.
Thomas Tyner of Aloha High in Beaverton ran 32 times for 357 yards and three touchdowns, going over 2,000 yards for the season in just the seventh game.
Receiver Darren Carrington of Horizon High in San Diego caught touchdown passes of 34 and three yards in a victory.
Tyree and Tyrell Robinson of Lincoln High in San Diego each caught a touchdown pass, in a losing effort.
He may be a defensive recruit for the Ducks, but Chris Seisay of American Canyon (Calif.) High continues to find the end zone, this time on a short run.
Among linemen Doug Brenner and Jesuit High of Portland lost after their quarterback was hurt, and Alex Redmond did not play for Los Alamitos High due to injury.
Tight end Johnny Mundt had a bye, and placekicker Matt Wogan's team was shut out.

The agreement, which was to last 10 years, contained six articles. In Article 1, Japan recognized the establishment of a new order in Europe under the leadership of Germany and Italy. In Article 2, Germany and Italy recognized Japanese leadership in the establishment of a new order in greater East Asia. Article 3 pledged each partner to cooperate in the processes that would lead to the final goal stated in Articles 1 and 2. Article 3 was also a direct warning to the United States, although there was no mention of that power by name. In it, the three Axis powers vowed to "to assist one another with all political, economic, and military means when one of the contracting powers is attacked by a power not involved in the European war or in the Chinese-Japanese conflict." Thus, Germany and Italy would be bound to fight on the side of Japan were the United States to attack that country. Article 4 called for joint technical commissions from the three powers to meet without delay to implement the agreement. Article 5 stated that the three powers respected the agreements made by the date on which the agreement was signed by any of the three powers with the Soviet Union. Article 6 set the 10-year limit of the agreement and provisions for its renewal.
Soviet leaders were alarmed by the pact, although Article 5 supported the German-Soviet Non-aggression Pact of 1939. In November 1940, to allay Soviet concerns, the German government formally asked the Soviet Union to join the pact, and meetings were held to discuss that possibility. Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov was invited to Berlin, and talks concerning German-Soviet relations began on 12 November 1940. These negotiations did not result in agreement, as Adolf Hitler, already planning to invade the Soviet Union, rejected the Soviet insistence on concrete agreements concerning territory and spheres of influence.
Other nations were also pressured by Germany to adhere to the Tripartite Pact. Romania signed on 23 November 1940, as did Slovakia the next day. Bulgaria joined on 1 March 1941, when Tsar Boris III pledged his county's allegiance. Yugoslavia adhered to the pact on 25 March 1941 but renounced its action two days later, after the government of Prime Minister Dragisa Cvetkovic was overthrown on the issue and replaced by that of General Dusan Simovic. Unlike the Allies, the Axis coalition never developed a grand strategy for fighting the war. Joseph C. Greaney

|Bray Lifts Tennessee to Homecoming Win
|Written by Cameron Bray
|Saturday, 03 November 2012 18:52
On Saturday afternoon, Tyler Bray threw for more yards than anyone who's ever worn a Tennessee uniform. Turns out the Vols needed almost every single one to escape with a 55-48 victory over Troy on Homecoming in Neyland Stadium.
Bray set the record -- eclipsing Peyton Manning's career-high mark of 523 yards -- with a 24-yard completion to Justin Hunter on third down, one play before Marlin Lane's 9-yard touchdown run gave the Vols the lead for good with 1:25 remaining. Bray finished with 530 yards on 29-of-47 passing with five touchdowns. He did not throw an interception.

Do you have a copy of the Whip Up Mini Quilts book? Lets make the quilts from the book together. Post them on the whipup flickr group under the tag "Whip up mini quilts".
Here is what we are going to do – each week – say on a friday – for 6 weeks [more or less] – I am going to post one of the quilts from the book that I have made – and give you a few tips and ideas to help you make it. + 6 books to give away in that time – watch out next week for some giveaways. Do you want to join in?
And if you don't yet have a copy of the book but want to join in straight away – there are 2 free Mini Quilt patterns available for download from the Chronicle website + The pattern and templates for Kellie Wulfsohn's little girl's applique wallhanging 'A little birdie told me' is available at the Woman's Day website
The first week I showcased my version of Lisa Call's 'Modern Geometric' mini quilt, and last week I showed you how to make my Shibori Sampler. And last week Crazy Cats was featured – the pattern, instructions and templates for this quilt is available online from the Chronicle Website.
This week I am just going to show you my version of Boo Davis's 'Two heads are better than one'. Its a difficult quilt to make and you will need the full instructions and illustrations from the book.
These pair of quilts use small pieces of fabric organised into colours and then chain pieced together. Its very quick to make and the method is not difficult. The difficulty comes with keeping track of where the pieces go – super organisation skills are required.
The quilting is really very easy – just diagonal lines and then it is bound using the one-step binding method. Originally Boo was going to leave it unbound and in fact raw edges and even just the quilt tops framed would be very cool.
Boo Davis also suggests using the loudest ugliest fabrics and colours you can find – and they really do pop from the quilt.
Have fun making this one – Don't forget to post your results in the whipup flickr pool – under the tag "Whip up mini quilts".

Letter: Fluoride is good
Richard A. Shick, DDS, Grand Blanc, MI Former President, International College of Dentists
Fluoride is good
Dr. Joseph Harnett is to be highly complimented for his outstanding guest commentary in last Sunday's Daily News regarding fluoridation of municipal water supplies.
It is critical that all citizens know and understand what he wrote, especially parents of children.
Everything that he so well stated is backed up by one of the most scientifically researched and substantiated preventive health measures of the 20th century. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta considers fluoridation one of the 10 most significant health measures developed in the last century.
The first community to implement fluoridation was Grand Rapids, MI, January 1945 — 68 years ago.
Today, the American Dental Association continues to be the strongest advocate and spends considerable resources annually to maintain and promote fluoridation of any remaining unfluoridated municipal water supplies.

METAIRIE, La.—Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma still is working his way back into the mix, while trying to get comfortable at a new position.
The longtime starting middle linebacker played 62 snaps against the Broncos last week, mostly at the nickel linebacker spot with a few snaps at weakside linebacker. It was a giant leap over the 18 snaps he played in his first game back from a knee injury in Week 7.
The Saints used Vilma so heavily because they spent almost the entire night in their nickel defense against the Broncos to guard against Peyton Manning. However, the Broncos combated that strategy by running the ball way more than expected and gashed the Saints for 225 yards on 41 carries. The Broncos used a ton of cutback runs, which got both Saints linebackers Vilma and Curtis Lofton tangled up in traffic for much of the night.
Eventually, Vilma started to do a better job of hanging back to guard against the cutback runs, and he did affect a couple of Manning's throws when he blitzed. But it's clear Vilma still is getting his feet back under him after missing the entire offseason.
The Saints are counting on Vilma to adjust quickly to his new position since they want both him and Lofton on the field together as much as possible. The Saints' front seven needs to be more athletic and aggressive, especially around the edges, where they've been allowing too many big cutback runs this year. That will be especially important Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles, with dangerous runners like tailback LeSean McCoy and quarterback Michael Vick.

Non Surgical Procedures
Ask a Question - We're Quick To Respond
SpaMedica and Dr. Mulholland have assembled the most advanced and high-tech non-surgical liposuction and permanent fat reduction program and fat reduction technologies in the country. Always at the forefront of non-invasive permanent fat reduction and non-surgical liposuction techniques and technologies, Dr. Mulholland has lectured around the world on his innovations in this area. At SpaMedica, you will receive the best combination of technologies that are applied in a non-invasive, non-surgical fashion to permanently reduce areas of unwanted fat. There is no one single technology available that will optimize and maximize your fat reduction and permanent contour improvement, but rather a combination of 2 or more technologies will optimize your non-surgical liposuction and fat reduction results. At SpaMedica, Dr. Mulholland has created a program that combines the best possible technologies known today for fat reduction. These are applied in a non-surgical, non-invasive way to permanently reduce unwanted localized fat.
This combination non-surgical liposuction program will benefit fat reduction patients by efficiently combining technologies in a cost effective, comfortable, pain-reduced fashion, allowing all patients to return to their daily activities, work and even high-impact activities immediately.
Why you should choose SpaMedica and Dr. Mulholland for your non-surgical liposuction and non-surgical body contouring treatments
– Dr. Mulholland and SpaMedica have been treating fat non-invasively for more than 10 years.
– Dr. Mulholland has accumulated the most experience in using and combining technologies for the best possible fat reduction results.
– He has been at the forefront in researching non-surgical fat reduction technology.
Combination therapy = the best fat reduction results
– At SpaMedica, we combine 2 or more technologies in a non-surgical focal fat reduction program. This always leads to a high death rate of permanent fat and the best results.
Simultaneous skin tightening with fat reduction
– SpaMedica is Canada's leading non-surgical liposuction centre that offers combination therapy to tighten your skin.
– Treatments and technologies like the Venus Freeze bulk heating RF, Thermage Body and Forma Plus tighten your skin.
– Dr. Mulholland offers simultaneous skin tightening with multiple fat reduction technologies for better contours and tighter skin.
The combination program
– SpaMedica offers 3 or more technologies to permanently reduce your fat: CoolSculpting, BodyFX and UltraShape.
– CoolSculpting reduces up to 22% of the fat cells in your treatment area.
– BodyFX helps to destroy more fat cells and tightens the skin of the contoured areas.
– UltraShape treatment permanently reduces fat with ultrasound energy.
– Even though SpaMedica offers a huge array of technologies and combined treatments, the non-surgical liposuction and focal fat reduction program is affordable.
– Our prices do not differ much from other centres that only offer one technology.
The SpaMedica visible difference guarantee
– SpaMedica and Dr. Mulholland guarantee you will see visible changes after your non-surgical focal fat reduction program, or you will receive a complimentary treatment.
Future Value
– All SpaMedica non-surgical body contouring patients receive a treatment coupon valued at 50% of their program.
– This coupon can be applied against Dr. Mulholland's modern liposuction treatments any time after the non-surgical fat reduction program.
The first technology that SpaMedica will bring to your fat reduction treatment is the use of bulk heating radiofrequency technology. Not just any bulk heating radiofrequency technology, but bulk heating radiofrequency technology that is specifically designed to permanently kill fat, providing permanent fat reduction. The BodyFX™ is a high-frequency electrical current system that is gently applied to the external surface of the unwanted focal fat collection. The applicator gently sucks unwanted fat, tissue and skin into the treatment chamber and applies high-frequency electrical current that bulk heats the skin and the fat. Gentle heating, with precise temperature and electrical current control, eliminates the possibility for pain and thermal injury, while heating the skin, leading to skin enhancement, dermal thickening and skin contraction. Skin contraction delivered at the same time as fat reduction is critical to the best possible contour result. Most clinics will provide technologies that provide fat reduction but fail to tighten your skin, or offer treatments that tighten the skin but do not provide permanent fat reduction. The bulk heating of the underlying fat lowers the threshold for a process called electroporation.
Figure 1. The new high tech BodyFX™ provides Toronto non-surgical liposuction and fat reduction patients permanent fat reduction and skin tightening results with the use of radiofrequency energy and new high voltage membrane damaging electrical pulsing. The BodyFX™ technology releases painless, high-voltage electrical pulses that alter, permanently, the permeability of the fat cell membrane. Once the permeability of the fat cell membrane is altered, large organic molecules and cations flow into the fat cell, overwhelming its ability to survive and the exposed fat cell undergoes a painless but permanent death. The BodyFX™ bulk heating radiofrequency technology not only tightens the skin, but also permanently reduces underlying fat cells.
Figure 2. Toronto fat reduction patients receiving BodyFX™ treatments will achieved permanent fat reduction and non-surgical liposuction type results through the release of safe and effective high voltage pulses which disable the fat cell membrane and lead to a death of the fat cell, a process called Apoptosis.
The BodyFX™ permanent fat reduction treatment is part of a combined SpaMedica non-surgical liposuction program developed by Dr. Mulholland. BodyFX™ procedures are performed once a week for 6 weeks. Each zone is treated for 20 minutes and up to 30% of fat cells exposed to BodyFX will undergo apoptosis and cell death. It is important that the program provide 6 treatments over 6 weeks on that skin , as it will provide non-surgical liposuction patients with both permanent fat reduction and skin tightening. Most other centers will offer only fat reduction in 1-3 sessions, but it critical to add the skin tightening to avoid post fat reduction skin laxity. The BodyFX™ treatments are comfortable and require no topical anesthesia. Patients can go right back to normal activities after their BodyFX™ treatment.
Figure 3. The BodyFX™ will achieves up to 30% exposure of fat cell to the high voltage pulses causing them to undergo cell membrane electroporation, resulting in permanent fat cell death.
Patient who undergo the SpaMedica non-surgical liposuction, fat reduction program will achieve, on average, almost 5 cm of circumferential reduction off the abdomen and, recent studies have shown 700 cc of permanent fat reduction. In addition, skin tightening occurs with a 15-20% increase in collagen production. The BodyFX™ will also be combined with other technologies during the 6 week program to deliver the best possible permanent fat reduction results.
Figure 4. A. Fat Reduction of the abdomen and hips. B. Fat reduction of the abdomen and hips. Toronto non-surgical liposuction patients undergoing the SpaMedica fat reduction BodyFX™ program can expect to 700-800 cc of fat reduced per zone, skin contraction; with a 15-20% increase in skin collagen production and significant circumferential reduction.
Other bulk heating radiofrequency technologies that Dr. Mulholland has helped develop and pioneer include the VelaSmooth™, the VelaShape™, the Venus Freeze and other Accent®-type bulk heating radiofrequency devices. All of these devices are excellent bulk heating technologies and may be deployed to enhance skin tightening and skin contour over the fat reduction, however, for Toronto fat reduction patients, the BodyFx™ is the most efficient, permanent fat killer from the class of treatment devices called radiofrequency bulk heaters available today and provides Toronto non-surgical liposuction patients the best permanent fat reduction and skin tightening results possible.
In addition to radiofrequency and high-voltage electrical pulses in the BodyFX™ fat reduction treatments, SpaMedica will combine high-frequency focused ultrasound technology (HIFU), specifically the UltraShape® and Liposonix®-like fat reduction devices to deliver the best possible fat reduction results to its Toronto non-surgical liposuction patients. The UltraShape® deploys painless, high frequency focused ultrasound energy that comes to a point deep under the skin in the center of your unwanted fat. The UltraShape® has the ability to alter the focal point of the painless ultrasound energies and can be targeted superficially, at the middle and deeper into the fatty tissue to provide custom fat reduction contours similar to liposuction technology.
Figure 5. The new and improved UltraShape® high frequency focused ultrasound fat reduction device. The UltraShape® has proven to provide painless, permanent fat cell death through the delivery of gentle high frequency focused ultrasound.
The UltraShape® transducer is applied to the external surface of the skin over a thin layer of ultrasound gel. High-tech video and computer-guided systems ensure that the focused ultrasound beams come to the prescribed focal point at various levels within your fat to customize the reduction of your unwanted bulge of fat. The Ultrasound waves "vibrate" your fat cells until they "implode" and die, a process called cavitation". The UltraShape® process is painless and both the UltraShape® and the BodyFX™ each take about 30 minutes to perform. Like the BodyFX™, the UltraShape® allows the patient to return to normal activities immediately.
Figure 6. A. The Ultrashape transducer is applied on the surface of the skin. B. Ultrashape releases high frequency, focused, pulse ultrasound waves that can be focused on various depths within your unwanted fat. C. The ultrasound waves deliver a "cavitation" injury, or a vibration of the fat cell resulting from the sound waves that "implodes" the fat cell without a lot of inflammation or swelling. Because the Ultrashape results in a gentle fat cell death, with very little swelling the permanent fat reduction results are seen within a couple of weeks.
By combining high-frequency focused ultrasound in the form of the UltraShape® together with bulk heating radiofrequency permanent fat reduction technology, like the BodyFX™, SpaMedica is able to offer you the highest possible concentration of fat cells that can be permanently killed and the best possible non-surgical fat reduction in your localized area of fat collection. The combined BodyFX™ and UltraShape® fat reduction program is 6 weeks in duration. Treatments are once weekly for 6 weeks. During the 6 week program there are 6 BodyFX™ and 3 UltraShape® treatments. BodyFX™ will kill fat cells, deliver fat reduction and tighten skin, while the UltraShape® will enhance the amount of permanent fat reduction. Other high-frequency focused ultrasound technologies include Liposonix®, and this also provides a vertical depth focus of thermal destruction of fat cells similar to what can be achieved with the non-thermal cavitational effects of UltraShape®.
The best candidates for SpaMedica's non-surgical liposuction fat reduction program are people who are realistic about the amount of fat reduction that can be achieved and those committed to weight maintenance. Most SpaMedica non-surgical liposuction fat reduction patients can achieve between two and six centimeters of permanent fat reduction in the area of focal fat excess. Recent studies show that the average patient can achieve 700-800 cc of fat reduction, or permanent fat death, in each zone that is treated. The most common zones treated include the lower and upper abdomen, the hips and flanks (love handles), outer and inner thighs as well as larger arms and inner knees. A commitment to weight maintenance is important for Toronto non-surgical liposuction patients to be successful in the SpaMedica fat reduction program, as, just like in liposuction or tummy tuck surgery, to maintain one's programmatic weight is to achieve a consistent, long-term permanent reduction.
Contraindications to BodyFX™ and UltraShape® fat reduction treatments include patients who may be pregnant at the time of the procedure, patients with a pacemaker that is required for normal heart rhythm or the presence of inflammatory lesions, infection or skin cancers in the area of treatment.
Toronto non-surgical liposuction patients undergoing fat reduction using the non-invasive body contouring technologies require no anesthesia. No topical local anesthetic is required as both the high-frequency focused ultrasound technology and the BodyFX™ bulk heating radiofrequency technology are well-tolerated and relatively painless.
Toronto fat reduction patients undergoing non-surgical liposuction at SpaMedica can expect a very comfortable treatment experience. Virtually all aesthetic treatments with permanent effects, such as BOTOX Injectable, soft tissue fillers and even laser hair removal have a modest degree of discomfort and SpaMedica's non-surgical liposuction program has a similar, VERY MINOR degree of acceptable discomfort in order to achieve permanent fat reduction in a non-invasive fashion.
SpaMedica's non-surgical liposuction permanent fat reduction program is relatively time-efficient. Each treatment takes approximately 30-60 minutes, depending upon the size of the areas. Fat reduction treatments are performed once a week for six weeks to achieve the full benefit and effect of the non-surgical liposuction permanent fat reduction. There are 6 BodyFX™ treatments in the program and 3 UltraShape® treatments.
Dr. Mulholland has been careful to design a program that is ultimately flexible for today's active patient. The SpaMedica non-surgical liposuction permanent fat reduction program has no real down time. The area of treatment with both the bulk heating radiofrequency, high-voltage pulsed device, the BodyFX™ and the high-frequency focused ultrasound technology, the UltraShape®, are both well-tolerated. There's a minor degree of redness and swelling after each treatment but patients can return to activities of daily living, any clothing and even high-impact aerobic activity immediately following the treatment.
At SpaMedica, optimal results are achieved by combining the best possible fat reduction and skin tightening technologies that have peer-reviewed permanent fat reduction studies and benefits to back them up. By combining technologies, you will achieve the best possible permanent fat reduction results available on the market today. There is no one technology, from the radiofrequency bulk heating fat contouring device family, from the focused ultrasound family or even the hypothermal CoolSculpting® Zeltiq® family of devices that deliver a consistent, best-in-class permanent fat reduction. Dr. Mulholland has found, through extensive experience, that by combining the best technologies in a programmatic fashion one can achieve optimal fat reduction and skin tightening results. The kind of results that are commonly achieved in the average individual range from two to six centimeters of permanent fat reduction in the abdominal region, with 700-800 cc of fat killed, to three to five centimeters in the inner and outer thigh region. This roughly equates to one dress or pants size reduction following the program.
Most patients are quite happy with their permanent fat reduction results following SpaMedica's non-surgical liposuction program. Patients are selected based on realistic expectations and usually these expectations of two to six centimetres can be achieved.
Figure 7. Fat reduction patient who underwent a non-surgical liposuction program with combined UltraShape® (ultrasound) and BodyFX™ (Radiofrequency) non surgical liposuction fat reduction program to her abdomen. A significant and permanent reduction of fat as well as skin tightening was achieved.
Because of SpaMedica's combined technology, non-surgical liposuction and permanent fat reduction program results in a death of the fat cells, these fat cells will not return, will not store carbohydrates and will not re-expand. As such, as long as patients maintain their peri-programmatic weight, the contour improvement of focal fat reduction is permanent in nature and the results will be permanent.
However, weight gain and excess carbohydrate intake will result in the expansion of those cells that are left in the area of the contour improvement and these cells, as well as other fat cells in your body, will swell following weight gain and tend to ruin the aesthetic contour results. So, weight maintenance, just as in liposuction surgery, is important following the program.
There's no specific maintenance to maintain the permanent fat reduction (other than avoiding weight gain) that was achieved during the program. However, as mentioned during the description of the program above, SpaMedica combines bulk heating radiofrequency technologies in addition to focal fat reduction technology for fat reduction and skin tightening. The reason the bulk heating radiofrequency is deployed, in addition to fat reduction, is to tighten the skin and result in skin and soft tissue contraction. As the fat contour is improved, it is important to tighten the overlying skin to avoid any obvious skin laxity. The skin tightening that occurs from the radiofrequency devices discussed above will result in approximately 15% to 20% thickening of the dermis with new collagen and elastin. With time and age, the enhanced skin contraction that has been achieved will lessen and reduce, as your aging skin enzymes break down the new collagen. It is important that a single bulk heating radiofrequency skin tightening treatment is performed every three to four months in the area of your focal fat contour in order to "protect your investment" and maintain and achieve the tightest possible skin over your new contour. This is very similar to those individuals that have undergone facelift surgery or even tummy tuck surgery, where optimal skin tone and skin tautness can be prolonged and maintained with simple, non-surgical radiofrequency bulk heating treatments performed intermittently, usually one treatment every 3 months.
There's a range of fees depending upon the number of zones treated and the size of each zone. However, in general, the series of treatments with combined technologies costs approximately $2,000 for the first zone. This program will include the 6 BodyFX™ treatments and 3 UltraShape® treatments over the 6 weeks. The second and third zones, which are often combined, can be purchased at a lesser price. In general, the SpaMedica non-surgical liposuction program costs approximately one-third of what you would spend with Dr. Mulholland doing specialize liposuction surgery, such as high tech SmartLipo™ or BodyTite™ minimally-invasive liposuction treatments.
At SpaMedica, Dr. Mulholland has assembled the best possible technologies to deal with the permanent reduction of fat in the areas of focal contour concern. Not only will you experience the best possible technology with the most experience at delivering that technology, at SpaMedica, Dr. Mulholland offers his Toronto non-surgical liposuction and fat reduction patients a significant value-offered coupon of the fees spent in the non-surgical program to apply one day against SmartLipo™ or BodyTite™ minimally-invasive liposuction surgery to further enhance the result, if at any future point a patient should choose to improve upon the fat reduction results achieved.
Toronto non-surgical liposuction fat reduction patients should simply fill out the appointment request form or "ask a question" form and upload up to 3 photos for Dr. Mulholland to review.

Short-Lived Shows: The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley
If I may be so bold, the cartoon was in some ways better than the live-action version of Short's character. The surreal world Short created around Grimley was given a more vibrant life when animated, and other touches such as a singing pet mouse gave the show an oddball quality that would portend the absurd humor of Adult Swim and other recent animated fare.
The show featured Short as the voice of Ed, as well as many of his friends from SCTV such as Joe Flaherty (who played children's show host Count Floyd in a live-action segment) and Catherine O'Hara. Jonathan Winters and Andrea Martin also worked on the show. The series began in 1988 and was off the air in 1989. The combination of being shown on Saturday mornings, and an attempt at humor that wouldn't gain wide acceptance until a few years later pretty much spelled doom for the series from the very beginning. Those of us who were lucky enough to catch it, however, got to at least spend a few moments with one of the strangest, most inexplicable animated shows of the late 1980s.

Discussion in 'Urine Testing' started by helpneeded007, Apr 21, 2007.
Does anyone know how good omni clean and if it works? Any personal experiences?
it depends on your body, i know FIRST HAND friends who have used the OMNI system and i've witnessed what they bought, and they passed a pre employment test-testing for validity.
BUT heres the catch, you will either pass, or dilute depending on the test.
Heres what you need to pass:
-precleanse pills containing creatine monohydrate
-OMNI cleansing drink- dark red plenty of vitamins and tastes horrible
-eat proteins-peanuts/peanut butter- clouds up the clear yellow urine look
-salt/salty foods to bring the samples pH levels to normal
follow directions of taking pills the evening before-with 8 ounces of water, so creatine may be metabolized, drink 16 ounces of water that night, wake up and drink your OMNI and eat your peanut butter, take your test 2-4 hours later after drinking water fluently, make sure you are making yellow color, and if it is neon yellow, that calls for more water.
OR save money with the dilution sticky
OR subbing
Ok, Skatingstoned, here I go again. Here is another one of your posts that isn't very accurate. First to helpneeded, if you do a search for omni cleanse on this site you will see some people who have passed and some that have failed using Omni products. I don't like them or trust them. I would rather trust substitution or dilution. Back to skatingstoned and his advice.
Failing is also an option so passing, failing, or getting a negative dilute pretty much covers everything. It also depends on more than just your body.
I hope everyone knows by now that there is no guaranted method to pass except for not doing drugs ever or for a very long time or a successful substitution.
What the fuck, clouding up urine, salt for pH? Your body does not take in proteins or peanuts or peanut butter by mouth and then deposit it back in your urine to make it cloudy. That is just crazy talk. First do you really think things go through your body through your stomach and small intestine into your bloodstream, through your body, into your kidneys, into your bladder, then out your body in a way that it is unchanged to the point that it can cloud your urine? No, that is not how our bodies work. Also, you shouldn't have protein in your urine if you are healthy. Second, it doesn't matter whether your urine is cloudy, yellow, clear, or colorless. What matters is the actual validity testing results and visual is not one of them. Also, this is not the first time I have had to correct you on this one, salt is not used to raise the pH of your urine and pH does not test for dilution. Specific gravity and creatinine clearance are used to test for dilution.Specific gravity and creatinine clearance are used to test for dilution. Specific gravity and creatinine clearance are used to test for dilution.
Taking creatine the night before will be ineffective. It takes most people 48 hours to metabolize creatine into creatinine and for it to be effective in raising creatinine clearance. Taking creatine the night before the test isn't the best way to take creatine. If you are going to use the inaccurate methods posted by skatingstoned then do whatever but if you are trying to dilute and you are judging your dilution by color of the urine, then you should switch to measuring your fluid intake.
Just where in the hell are you getting your information from??? It is all a little bit right peppered with a whole lotta BS.
i dont trust the cleansing drinks either but it depends on the test i guess, cause i know people who have passed with it and others who have failed.
i have used some detox drinks that worked for me-not a dilute sample.
and i get validity tests, thats why i said it depends on your body, i know people who have done the measures i gave and still didnt pass validity, so thats my bad with saying "this is what you will need to pass"
i just think that is the best way to be 80% sure or more, without the creatine pills-preclense, the likelyhood of passing the validity is very low.
and idk the protein trick works with me, i eat plenty of protein rich foods for 24 hours up to the test, more a few hours before and it didnt look like a watery yellow. it could be something else, maybe just the foods im eating or something i am unaware of which is making it a "cloudy" color. any ideas?
for some reason they deny my urine if it is too watery, but thats just the way probation goes, one week left and im off, no more bud, not till after i am confirmed to get off and it is official.
That's your problem. Just because something works for you or your "friends", doesn't mean you should suggest it to others. You aren't even certain of the effects of the ingredients you describe, scientifically. "IDK, it works for me" is proof in itself that you don't even know what your're saying. I'm glad that you passed using whatever methods you used, but that don't give you the right to act like you know what you're talkin about. Stick to facts, not guesses, and if you don't know, then don't post.
Omni worked for me
I just tried Omni extra strength (orange one) just gave me a negative in-house test (Pharmacare) - faint line but it was there. I waited 2 hours before doing the in-house test. This is after 4 days of last Mary J visit. Please let me recommend dilute with water or gatorade (instructions on stickies), if you can't afford the cleansers. Sec3 helped me realize you need to be hydrated the day of test. Again, dilution is not 100% so what worked for me may not work on you. I suggest, if time permits, buy some in-house test kits and test yourself while you using a dilution method until you get a negative. That will take a load off your mind. I did a cleanser dilution on day 1, and 2 got positive results. Skipped day 3 of dilution per Sec3 suggestion i.e. I drank some water. Day four did the Omni with 2 16 ounce of bottle water within 2 hours and tested. I was looking for a negative result and finally got one.
I will do the water or gatoraide tomorrow and see if I get a line as well, and get a darker. Faint lines scare me. Although the test kit states a dark or faint line indicates negative. I hope this helps!
i bought OMNI LEANSING LIQUID. followed directions perfectly. AND FAILED. I didnt smoke for more than 48 hours prior. I didnt eat for 12 hrs before. I drank precisly 48 oz water with. I waited 2 hours. I pissed 2 full pisses before i gave the test sample. This product is total shit.
Oh forgot...I FAILED with the omni shit because of dilution. too much water they said. FUCK THIS FUCKIN PRODUCT
Testing the day of the test is a huge contributor to success in these instances. I just can't say it enough--please test at home to find out where you stand to begin with, then test the day of the test if engaging in dilution/cleansing. Test on your third or fourth void of the day.
Thanks to the old stand-bys for your insight and info.
