Eyebrows : [
Question Posted Saturday March 8 2008, 8:34 pm
Okay so, my eyebrows don't match, but my bangs cover my right one (I have bangs that I part on the side). About a year ago or so, I was really stupid & shaved my eyebrows, because I didn't have any tweezers. And to make matters worse, I used scissors & trimmed my right one a little. Yeah, I was pretty stupid, I know. Haha; but seriously, no one has really noticed it, but it's just something that really gets on my nerves, because I always worrry that someone is going to notice them. My left one is like,, really short kinda, & my brother always bugs me & says, "When ya gonna let your eyebrows grow back out?"
I can't go to a professional, because there isn't one around where I am, & plus my mom prolly won't take me. And, I'm currently trying the vaseline thing, but it's not quite helping the way I want...Please help? Even though they're just eyebrows, it's kinda causing a loss of self-esteem, & I'm known as the confident person. : [
I would post a pic, but I don't know how.?

Go to a drug store and search for Ardell Brow & Lash Grow Accelerator Treatment Gel or anything with a 'Brow Grow Accelerator Gel'. It's rather cheap but it works. I've gone through horrible eyebrows and back again so I know how you feel.
Penciling them in is the worst thing you could do unless you can find the right shade and apply it lightly.. without getting harsh, obvious drawn on eyebrows. Use your bangs to come them up. Trim your bangs if you have to.
Use a powder [or eyeshadow] closest to your shade and apply it.
Here are some videos/tutorials to fill in eyebrows:

I think using powder is a lot less noticeable[harsh] than pencil.
So even though the stray hairs may bother you.. grow your eyebrows out and use the gel at least 2 times a day. You may pluck the obvious stray hairs so you can try to maintain your shape again. Don't pluck the top of your eyebrow though. Bad idea.

i know exactly how you feel. i my eye brows are to the point where i have to pencil them in because i can get way too 'pluck-happy'. but maybe you should try doing that is peniciling them in so they look somewhat even. my right one is also a lot thinner because i had an accident last year and the scar is right in my eyebrow so the hair stopped growing in that spot. but try penciling it in and if that doesnt work just explain to your mom that your umcomfortable with them and im sure she'll take you. i always get very nervous that someone is going to sday something when i wear my hair back out of my face that my eyebrows are pencilled in yah know. but if you do it right it looks fine. ive gotten the hang out it now where it looks a lot better

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Papelbon said he couldn't recall who introduced him to Toradol, and wasn't sure when he first began receiving injections, but believes it was in 2007, when he was the closer on the team that won the World Series title. "It was kind of a word-of-mouth thing," he said. "You got in the clubhouse and said, 'Man, I feel like crap,' and somebody would say, 'Oh, you should get a Toradol shot.' All players talk about what gets you through a 162-game season." Papelbon said he never saw another player get injected, but he believes many players were using Toradol. Papelbon said he was never told of any potential side effects of using Toradol, but did not personally experience any adverse reactions. ESPNBoston | Jonathan Papelbon says he took Toradol shots while with Boston Red Sox Another day, another sort-of steroid story from the Red Sox. Before you go freaking out, here's what we know about Toradol: It's not illegal. It's widely used in baseball. And here's what we know about Jonathan Papelbon: He loves attention. By talking about this, he was able to do a number of things. First, he got to take a jab at Boston by saying the Philadelphia doctors told him "We don't do that here" when he asked for Toradol. Second, he gets to pump up Philly a bit: Their doctors have smarter ways of treating pain. Third, he gets another article written about him. Of course, with this piling on top of Curt Schilling's steroid accusation last week, people will start talking about the Sox as having a dirty clubhouse. And you know what? I'm sure they do. Just like every other clubhouse in baseball. If you think some sort of illegal PED wasn't used by a member of any team ever, you need a lobotomy. Back to the legal side of things. Since Toradol is apparently legal (and just kind of controversial), this does send up another red flag about the Sox medical staff, which has seen doctors come and go after a number of questionable diagnoses and poor recoveries. Of all the things that we should hope change about the Red Sox in 2013 (and there are many), that's number 1 on my list. I would love to see an effective medical staff, normal recovery times, and fewer time spent on the DL. It'll go a long way toward how the Red Sox do this year.

A Tibetan student began a 72-hour fast on Tibetan New Year's day today in solidarity with his fellow countrymen who "continue to fight against repression in Tibet".
Tenpa Dhargyal, who fled Tibet after taking part in anti-China protests there in 2008, sat on a fast in front of the Martyrs Pillar on the Tsuglakhang premises here. "We can't forget the brave actions of our martyrs and thousands of Tibetans who continue to fight against the repression in Tibet," said Tenpa, a student at the Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies, Sarah. "As a student, I didn't get the chance to take part in many of the solidarity campaigns. So I take this opportunity during the Tibetan New Year to express my solidarity with those fighting for the cause," he added.

By Lyle Fitzsimmons, Contributing NFL Editor
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Jacksonville Jaguars made at least one step in Week 1.
They've gone from being early-season laughingstocks - as they were in 2013, while losing each of their first games by double-digits - to at least providing a formidable obstacle on the way to succumbing.
The Jaguars took a 17-0 lead and dumped Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles five times before giving way in the second half of last week's opener, and they face a QB this week, in Washington's Robert Griffin III, who's got some bad history when it comes to defenses constructed by Gus Bradley.
Griffin was held to less than 100 yards passing in the Redskins' 10-point playoff loss to Seattle, whose defense was then run by Bradley, at the end of his 2012 rookie season. And at least one of those Seahawks players who's now in Jacksonville - defensive end Red Bryant - sees a more inviting target in the version of RG III that's on display two seasons later.
"It does seem like (Griffin) is trying to be more of a pocket passer, like he is trying to stay in the pocket more and he is actually letting the play develop a little bit more," Bryant said. "So we've just got to do a great job of having the back end and front end working together and try to make it as difficult as possible."
Still, the impetus also lies with the Jaguars to assail their own ghosts. The ones that saw the big halftime lead against the Eagles devolve into a 34-17 loss.
"It feels like, 'What happened? We're a ways away,'" Bradley said. "But we're really close. We have to take care of these things. We can no longer find these things acceptable. They take responsibility and they understand as well."
Jacksonville's defense was gashed for a 68-yard TD reception by Philadelphia's Jeremy Maclin and another long-distance scoring play - this one a 49-yard run - by Eagles newcomer Darren Sproles.
On the positive side, undrafted free agent Allen Hurns broke out with four catches for 110 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and he figures to maintain his new high-profile status as fellow receivers Cecil Shorts III and Marqise Lee are limited or unable to go with hamstring problems.
Both Shorts and Lee had limited participation in Wednesday's practice, while safety Johnathan Cyprien, who's dealing with the after-effects of a concussion, was held out of the session entirely.
Washington is experiencing some early dings of its own - tight end Jordan Reed was held out with a left hamstring problem and Barry Cofield is shelved with an ankle sprain - but the Redskins are more concerned with making sure Griffin finds comfort with the reins of new coach Jay Gruden.
The team lost its final eight games last season and saw the skid reach nine in Week 1, when it scored just six points in a loss to the Houston Texans.
Washington won the NFC East and was fourth in the NFL with an average output of 27.3 points in Griffin's first season, but plummeted to 3-13 and scored nearly seven fewer points each week (20.9) in 2013. It failed to reach 17 five times in the final eight losses, which led to the offseason departure of former coach Mike Shanahan.
Griffin and Co. generated 372 total yards against Houston, but reached the end zone just once and are trying to sidestep the prospect of scoring in single- digits for the third straight game. That hasn't happened since the last two games of a 4-12 season in 1993 and the opener of a 3-13 run in 1994.
The quarterback completed 29 of 37 passes and ran three times for two yards against the Texans, while backfield mates Alfred Morris and Roy Helu tag- teamed for 137 yards on 18 carries. Griffin was sacked three times and Gruden, in his NFL coaching debut, called for twice as many passes (40) as runs (20).
"If I had to do it all over again, I probably would have run the ball more than I did," he said.
Newcomer DeSean Jackson had eight catches for 62 yards and teammate Pierre Garcon reached 10 receptions and 77 yards, but Griffin faced enough pressure from Houston's front seven - courtesy of J.J. Watt and rookie Jadeveon Clowney - to keep him from a consistent focus on long-range plays.
"We have got to find ways to open those guys up more down the field," Griffin said. "I don't think that's any secret. You want to be able to be efficient and hit the underneath stuff, but you also have to get those home run shots in every now and then. We'll work on getting that."
Dialing Long Distance
With Griffin on the record with a desire to look down the field for big plays with Jackson and Garcon, the target is surely on the backs of Jacksonville cornerbacks Alan Ball and Dwayne Gratz.
Only one pass was completed in Gratz's direction last week, while Ball recorded a first-half interception against the Eagles. To keep them on a level playing field, however, a consistent up-front rush is mandatory.
Coming from Both Sides
The Redskins are in possession of one of the NFL's more dynamic pass-rushing tandems in dual outside linebackers Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan, which places some additional emphasis on the Week 2 prowess of offensive tackles Luke Joeckel and Cameron Bradfield.
Jacksonville will need to stay out of obvious passing situations in order to keep quarterback Chad Henne healthy and vertical.
Progress is being made in Jacksonville, and it'll probably be sooner than later before the ebullient Bradley is able to make his team a favorite each week.
But in terms of matchups and weapons on the offensive side, they're on the short end with the Redskins. Look for Gruden to dial up enough big- yardage plays - as the Eagles did - to make a difference at the game's end.

There was ample evidence that young adults -- even evangelical ones -- now understood "Christian" to be coterminous with "religious Right" and were leaving churches because of it. In 1985, 26 percent of young adults under twenty-nine claimed to be evangelicals; that number now hovers around 15 percent, while the number of "nones" under twenty-nine has risen from 12 percent to nearly 30 percent. Indeed, most evangelical loss stems from the defection of young people, who increasingly identify Christianity (not just evangelical religion, but Christianity as a whole) as antihomosexual, judgmental, hypocritical, out of touch with reality, overly politicized, insensitive, exclusive, and dull. The old religious Right may have won some cherished political battles, but in the war over the hearts of their youth they surely lost more than they gained. And for American public opinion, conservative evangelical politics may have been the worst marketing campaign for the word "Christian" since the Salem witch trials.

Growing up off First Street and Harbor Boulevard in Santa Ana, the Adame brothers soaked in the custom-car, motorcycle, tattoo and barber culture of one of Orange County's early Mexican American barrios. But they couldn't afford one vital component: pomade.
Pete Adame was struck by the effectiveness of one premium hair-styling product in particular, Cool Grease, a Japanese company that sells its pomade for more than $20 a can. He thought he could make something similar, and give it away for free.
"I thought … if there's a way I could figure out to make it, I can just give it away to all of my friends and where they don't have to buy it – cool. I'm happy with that," he recalls. "So that was really my intention, never to make money off of it."
Five years after he began experimenting with pomade recipes in the family breakfast nook, Adame and his band of brothers now have a company, Suavecito Inc., 13 employees, and a hair product that sells (at $10, for a can of Suavecito "original hold") in thousands of barber shops as far away as the Netherlands, Thailand, and Mexico. It has spawned a growing line of shirts and stickers sporting the company logo: a rockabilly-esque skeleton combing his pompadour.
The root-beer colored, water-soluble substance Pete Adame came up with was likened by some to pomade brands such as Three Flowers, but had a tight yet manageable grip. And many said it smelled better.
Adame and a neighborhood friend and business partner, who goes by the name J-Bird, gave their pomade away at first, packed in Ziploc bags and Tupperware containers. His friends, his friends' sons – everybody used it.
Then local barbers started catching on.
"When our friends would go into barbershops and they'd have it in their hair, their barber would be like, 'Hey what's in your hair?'" Adame, the company's 27-year-old president, recalled.
That's when J-Bird, 29, now the company's executive secretary, began discussing corporate possibilities.
"At first it was kind of hard because I was real prideful with it … This is our little niche thing that we have. I want to keep it small," Adame said.
But he caved in and Suavecito was born. (The name – translating to English as "smooth" – is credited to a friend's aunt, who on their way out of her house one day playfully said, "Look at you guys looking all suavecito.")
The now-ubiquitous logo, designed by a friend, almost didn't happen, either. Adame didn't like it and wanted to compromise by only using the Suavecito name.
"Thankfully we kept the character … it turned into this monster of a thing," he said.
Early on, the guys were advised to seek a loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration. They headed out to the local office, but only came back with parking tickets. They had no equity, no assets.
"They totally discouraged us, big time," Adame said.

APNewsBreak: 6 missing NJ boaters found alive
"The winds were fairly benign," he said. "There were a few spikes where it briefly reached 25 knots, but that was very, very quickly. There weren't any gales out there, and the seas were 3 to 5 feet, nothing out of the ordinary."
Johanna Silcox said her family was worried about Edward Silcox's health. He underwent a triple bypass operation years ago.
"The entire family is probably going to forbid him from ever setting foot on a boat ever again," she joked.

Hasan Suroor
LONDON: British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Thursday called for the Pakistani Army to be more active in taking the fight to the extremists.
Giving evidence before a committee of senior MPs, Mr. Brown said while there was now a "consensus" in Pakistan to support the military campaign against the Taliban and it appeared to be yielding results more needed to be done.
"What we got to do with Pakistan is to work with Pakistani security forces [to help the campaign]," he said stressing the need for Afghanistan to work in tandem with Pakistan and support its efforts.
Mr. Brown's remarks came as he was grilled by MPs over his own government's handling of the war in Afghanistan amid allegations that its failure to provide proper equipment was responsible for the high casualty rate among British troops.
A total of 184 British soldiers have been killed since the invasion eight years ago with eight dying within 24 hours last week.
In a scathing report, the Commons Defence Select Committee pointed out that a shortage of helicopters was undermining British operations in Afghanistan and exposing the troops to avoidable risk.
"Operational commanders in the field today are unable to undertake potentially valuable operations because of the lack of helicopters for transportation around the theatre of operations. We are also concerned that operational commanders find they have to use ground transport, when helicopter lift would be preferred, both for the outcome and for the protection of our forces," said chairman of the committee James Arbuthnot.
Mr. Brown acknowledged the high casualty rate but denied it was because of lack of resources. "We have spent the right sums of money and we are prepared to do more to ensure our troops are properly equipped," he said.
