|James, Costa, Twombly and Beattie (DMR)
BOSTON – The Wildcats' distance medley relay team finished fourth overall and set a school record in the process to lead the University of New Hampshire women's indoor track & field team in the opening day of the New England Championships Friday at Boston University's Track & Tennis Center.
The distance medley relay squad of senior Darcy James (Exeter, N.H.), sophomore Morgan Costa (Standish, Maine) and juniors Anne Twombly (Exeter, N.H.) and Elise Beattie (Woodstock, Ill.) finished fourth in a time of 11:36.04, breaking to program's previous mark set in 2002 (11:39.29).
Freshman Lauren Perrodin (Coral Springs, Fla.) placed third in the preliminaries of the 60 meters and qualified for Saturday's finals in a time of 7.71.
Senior Erin Phillips (Belmont, N.H.) finished seventh overall in the 5,000 meters in a time of 7:37.07.
In the field, senior Melanie Frazier (Bridgewater, Mass.) took ninth in the long jump with a leap 17-07.50, while senior Keyla Salazar (Nashua, N.H.) added a 14th-place finish in the weight throw with a toss of 47-01.75.
The Wildcats return to action Saturday for the final day of the New England Championships at the BU Track & Tennis Center.

Townhomes are stylish and sturdy
Breezeways mixes Florida and Texas design concepts
The first phase of a new townhouse community is near completion on north Padre Island and more than half of the units have sold since construction began in February 2005.
Breezeways of Encantada is a $10.5 million project with 38 units developed and built by Alex Harris, owner of Brite Star Construction. Construction of 24 townhomes in phase one is expected to be finished by the end of May, with 22 units sold and two units pending closure, according to Gene Guernsey, associate broker/Realtor RE/MAX Metro Properties and agent for the townhomes.
The project is the seventh development for Harris, who sold his company and followed his brother Emmitt Harris advice to follow their dads footsteps in the building business.
"I lived all my life in Corpus Christi with a surfboard in my hand out on Padre Island," Alex Harris said. "I enjoy wearing shorts, T-shirts and sandals to work."
Harris said he and designer John Hall, owner of Prime Design Group, visited Florida to gauge townhome designs, incorporating some Florida style with Texas coast designs.
"We also used go-bolts that tie the top of the building to the slab," he said. "Its unique because most builders do conventional strapping and this is much more expensive and makes a much stronger building."
The wood-frame townhomes are three-story structures from 1,700 to 1,850 square feet that sell for $240,000 to $260,000.
The three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath residences feature a bedroom and garage on the first floor, the main living area on the second floor and two master-sized suites on the third floor.
Some of the homes will offer the main living space on the third floor and views of the Gulf of Mexico.
Guernsey said he has sold more than 700 townhomes on Padre Island since the 90s and buyers today havent changed much.
He said they tend to be busy professionals, empty-nesters and retired or semi-retired people who dont want the maintenance of a typical home and yard. Other buyers are investors who reside part time and lease the property.
"The market is good on the Island and every year it picks up," Guernsey said. "With the coming of Packery Channel and the potential for a major resort on the Island, the market continues to go up in value on the Island."
Guernsey said he also has sold three of the 14 units in the second phase. Alex Harris expects the second phase to be completed in August 2006.

I bought this foundation looking for medium to full coverage. As my ULTA was missing half of the testers for the product, I thought my safest bet was going for the lightest shade. When I got home, I tried it on. Not only was the formula thin and watery, the color was ORANGE. It looked terrible on me, and, even using a foundation brush, and blending sponge, would not go on smoothly. Even with the very orange color, the foundation did nothing to cover my redness. I expected a lot more for the price. While I love smashbox primer, I'm going to stay away from their foundations from now on. They do not have a good color range for pale girls, and they are not even medium coverage.

I think this is a good foundation in some respects, but it isn't for me. It really is more of a tinted moisturizer than a foundation. The coverage just isn't there. On the positive side, it was easy to find a color match for my pale, pink-toned skin, and it went on smoothly without looking chalky or otherwise odd. When I saw myself in the mirror a while after applying it, I looked as if I were without makeup -- and not in a good way. I have good skin, clear with no wrinkling, but I need some brightening and smoothing, and this didn't do either. Which leads me to believe this is something a younger woman with really good skin would like...but in this price range, you can do better.

This was a disappointment. The shades are very orange and oxidize horribly after wearing it for a few hours. This gives a very dewy finish and feels like it's sliding off my face. I took this back and got Make Up For Ever's HD foundation which I absolutely LOVE! The MUFE and Smashbox HD foundations are nothing alike, so if you don't like this, get the MUFE HD. I don't recommend this one to anyone.

This is my HG foundation. I had strayed away from it with some other foundations for a while, but just recently I started using it again and I'm seriously kicking myself for ever thinking another foundation was better. I love this stuff. While it's not as liquidy as I usually like in a foundation, it just looks so smooth and flawless on my face, and as long as I use a primer it lasts all day, even with my oily skin. I feel like this foundation covers my large pores better than any other, and doesn't look dry and cakey like others such as MUFE have done for me. I'm on my second bottle and I'll keep re-buying.

I love this foundation. I used this and their primer on my wedding day. Makeup was done at 10 am and last all day! (Wedding ended at Midnight) Applies smoothly, doesn't crease. Only issue is I can get every last bit out due to the pump design. Even though for daily use I have switched to bare minerals...this is my go to foundation for special events.
UPDATE: I now use BB creams, but I still like this foundation.

This is my HG. It doesn't get much love here from the reviews, but for me it is a perfect fit. I will have to say the coverage is not heavy. I would say light to medium. But it wears like a second skin, photographs wonderfully and has been a lifesaver for my acne-prone skin. I have tried other great foundations from Lancome, Estee Lauder, MAC, Guerlain, and many others but keep coming back to this one. It just works with my skin and I do not feel like I am wearing a mask or heavy makeup. Close ups are not a problem with this foundation. It has to be set or else it will wear off. I do believe it is healthy for skin. I never break out from it and my skin doesn't get clogged with it. I give it 5+ stars and hope they do not stop making it.

I have VERY sensitive skin. I have tried many, many foundations. I would be able to only wear foundation for a few hours and then I could not wait to get home to remove it. I would only dare wear it when I had an event to go to to have flawless skin. I can wear this EVERYDAY for 10 hours at a time. I LOVE it! It does not feel as though you are even wearing anything on your face. The nice thing about this foundation also is that you can build the coverage to your liking. I wear the Fair 1. I will continue to use this foundation. I just hope it never gets discontinued!

I am a bit up in the air about whether I will repurchase this,. It has a beautiful glow but I found myself reapplying again and again. It's great for dry skin, which I have and it really has a great luminosity. It looks good for a while but after a few hours I need to touch up and the urge is there to totally reapply.
Maybe in winter it would last longer on me. It is quite hot in Melbourne at the moment.
Looks great on - while it lasts!

the container is great -- pumps are always welcomed, due to hygiene factors. also, this foundation has great staying power, and i like that it has anti-aging ingredients in it. unfortunately, i will be giving my new bottle away before i know if the anti-aging claims are true for me. this foundation is quite average on my skin (light, oily and acne-prone, fairly noticeable pores in my t-zone, no noticeable fine lines yet but interested in anti-aging properties).
i'm not "fair," i'm light with yellow-orange undertones. however, even the lightest shade, Fair 0, is too dark for me! quite odd, actually. it looks like i applied a too-dark bronzer sloppily when i wear this, and it does nothing to create a soft focus for the large-ish pores on my nose. (it does impart a nice glow, but i don't want my skin glowing in fake bronzer fashion.) in fact, certain cheap drugstore foundations, like Maybelline Dream Mousse, Revlon ColorStay Mineral Mousse, and L'oreal MagicSmooth Souffle are *much* better at this.

Jinks weighing move to Judson
Steele football coach could return to alma mater.

Steele football head coach Mike Jinks tries to motivate the crowd during the pep rally for the football team at Steele High School on Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2011. The Knights will be playing in the Class 5A Div. II state championship at Cowboys Stadium on Saturday.

Steele head coach Mike Jinks is doused with water by players after his team defeated Denton Guyer in the Class 5A Division II state final 24-21 Saturday, Dec. 18, 2010 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

Under coach Mike Jinks, Steele has won 42 of its past 43 games entering today's Class 5A Division II semifinal.

Stevens coach Lee Bridges (left) pondered selling real estate before finding his niche on the football sidelines. Before leading Steele, coach Mike Jinks (right) had six coaching stops — and that was after he was found waiting tables at a San Angelo restaurant.
Steele's head coach Mike Jinks talks to the team after the game.
Steele's Mike Jinks said he's heard his name for years as a candidate to be Judson's next head football coach. Now, he's one step closer.
Jinks has not applied for the position yet but said he plans to apply and will discuss the opening with Judson ISD officials this week.
He could replace Judson coach Jim Rackley, who retired on Tuesday after 11 seasons as the Rockets' head coach.
"I'm going through the process," Jinks said. "I think everybody needs to be a little patient, because there's a lot to work out right now. I need more time to know if applying for the job is the right decision, but I have to look into the job."
Jinks, a 1990 Judson graduate and former Rockets quarterback, has been at Steele since it opened in August 2005. He guided the Knights to the 2010 Class 5A Division II state championship and a state-final appearance this past season.
Steele's run included a 28-game winning streak from September 2010 to last month's Class 5A Division II state championship game.
Jinks, 39, has a career record of 65-24, including 62-17 at Steele. He spent one season at Burbank before going to Steele.
With Rackley, who had a 101-37 record at Judson, facing various health issues for the past few seasons, Jinks' name was often brought up as a possible successor.
The Judson opening has been posted on the Judson ISD website since Wednesday. Rackley has recommended Judson defensive coordinator and interim head coach Mark Soto as his replacement.
"I know a lot of speculation is already out there, but it's too early to talk about anything right now," Jinks said. "I don't really know much about the job right now, and (Judson ISD) still doesn't know much about me."
Jinks said he told his players at Steele about the situation on Friday.
"He told us that he's looking at the Judson job and said that what we've done at Steele is extremely special," said Matt Mayle, a junior wide receiver. "But to think about him possibly going somewhere else, it's still going to be upsetting. He's been here since Day 1, and we love him like a father.
"But we know he's going to do what's best for him and his family."

Parker Knight Calvert, 13, an incoming freshman at Stratford High School, earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in Boy Scouts, on June 2, 2014. His Eagle Scout Court of Honor is planned for Aug. 16, 2014 at Boone Hill United Methodist Church.
Parker, the son of Carl and Gina Calvert, started Scouting when he was in first grade with Pack 825 in Summerville.
He transferred to Pack 707 where he finished earning all 20 Webelos pins and Cub Scouts highest achievement, the Arrow of Light. He then crossed over into Troop 750 in Summerville.

The position he enjoyed most was being a Den Chief for Pack 750s Webelos, where he provided leadership and guidance for Webelo Scouts.
He enjoyed traveling to Washington, D.C., camping and hiking at Grandfather Mountain and Table Rock, skiing and white water rafting in North Carolina.
Parker transferred to Troop 759 at Boone Hill United Methodist Church in March where he serves as a Troop Guide. Soon after transferring he began planning his Eagle Project.
Parkers Eagle Scout project took place May 10 at River Oaks Middle School, where he led fellow troop members, leaders and family members in installing an outdoor volleyball court and hopscotch courts as part of a health and wellness initiative.
He is proud that his project provides more activities for students at River Oaks Middle School to participate in during their lunch.
He has earned 52 merit badges as well as the snorkeling and paddle boarding patches.
Parker was nominated into the Order of the Arrow in 2012 and obtained Ordeal Membership in the Unaliyi Lodge Sept. 8, 2012.
On March 15, 2014, he sealed his membership and was recognized as a Brotherhood Member.

BRISTOL — Del Worsham got in the fastest NHRA Funny Car run in Bristol Dragway history just before the weather halted action Friday night at the Ford Thunder Valley Nationals.
Worsham's Toyota Camry sped down the track with a record 3.992 elapsed time and 319.45 mph to break his record time set from last season. It shuffled up the field as none of the top eight qualifiers in the first session didn't get to go down the track in the night session.
In other classes, Brittany Force was the provisional No. 1 in Top Fuel, which got only one qualifying session in, and Shane Gray topped Pro Class, which was able to get both rounds in.
If time Worsham's holds up, it will be his 14th career No. 1 qualifying effort.
"We ran a four-(second) flat here last year and it was our best run of the year," Worsham said. "To come back here and do this again, it's pretty amazing. We've had some good runs this year and it's not our first three-second run of the year. To come here at Bristol and do it in front of these fans, it's pretty exciting."
He was surprised by the fast time and speed. His car never felt the least bit violent during the record run, very smooth as it went down the drag strip.
"The other three-second runs we made, something has happened to shake the tires and that kind of threw me off," said Worsham, a former Top Fuel World Champion. "That run, we went straight down the right lane so smooth, it was clean. When they said I ran 3.99, I thought they were messing with me."
Force went 3.828 seconds (317.94) to grab the top spot. She is looking for her second No. 1 qualifying award in three races after being the quickest at Topeka, Kansas.
"Honestly, I didn't feel it was going to be a great run," Force said. "When they told me it was No. 1, I was shocked. It felt it shaking at 700-800 feet and I didn't know if it was going to go up in tire smoke. But I hung in there, went all the way through the 1,000 feet and ran a .82 so I was excited about that.
"It's unfortunate with the rain. We were hoping to get another run in, but we might not be No. 1 if that were the case. We get two more (qualifying sessions) tomorrow. Hopefully, we can improve and stay in the top half of the field."
Gray paced Pro Stock with his run of 6.644 seconds (207.88 mph) in a Chevrolet Camaro set in the first session. The time even held up even once the track got cooler, although he thinks the time will be bettered in one of today's sessions.
"I was really surprised the time held up," Gray said. "I figured someone would run a .63 tonight, and I think there are cars capable of it in the noon session. There is still a .63 out there for somebody. There is still a .63 in my car if we just make a better run."
Greeneville driver Allen Johnson was fourth in the first round of Pro Stock qualifying, going 6.675 seconds and 207.37 mph in his Dodge Dart. He moved up to second in the second qualifying session by hitting 6.657 and 206.73 mph.
Pro qualifying resumes today at noon with another afternoon session set for 2:30 p.m.

By Maj. Donna Miles, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 8, 1998 Reservists and National Guardsmen representing the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard will be the first to receive new green military identification cards at a June 20 ceremony at Fort Dix, N.J.
Defense Secretary William S. Cohen announced plans in December to change the red reserve component active status forces identification card, DD Form 2 (Reserve), to the same green as active-component cards. He called the change a step toward eliminating "all residual barriers, structural and cultural" in creating a "seamless Total Force" of reserve and active component members.
"It's a quantum leap forward," agreed Lt. Col. Terry Jones, public affairs officer for the assistant secretary of defense for reserve affairs. "It represents a major step toward integrating the reserves into the Total Force."
DoD will issue green reserve ID cards to more than 1.4 million members of the Selected Reserve, Individual Ready Reserve and active Standby Reserve. "Gray-area retirees" -- members of the Retired Reserve who have not reached age 60 -- will continue to get red cards. Reserve family members will continue to receive red DD Form 1173-1 identification cards.
Reserve component members will receive new green ID cards as they change their military status, generally through promotion or re-enlistment, or when their current cards expire. Jones said he expects the complete phase-in to take about five years.
Only their color is the same -- the cards are still different. "Reserve" and the branch of service will be printed on the upper right corner of guardsmen's and reservists' cards. "Active" and the service branch are already on active-duty members' cards.
Reserve component members mobilized or called to active duty for more than 30 days will receive new ID cards with the "Active" designation for the length of their tour.
Army Command Sgt. Major Collin L. Younger, senior enlisted adviser to the assistant secretary of defense for reserve affairs, stressed the color change simply promotes the concept of the Guard and Reserve as integral to the Total Force. Reservists' benefits, privileges and entitlements are unaffected.
"Reservists are being asked to do more as equal partners in national defense," he said, pointing to a wide range of ongoing DoD missions in which the reserve components are key players. Members of the Guard and reserves help maintain the U.S. military presence in Haiti and Kuwait, and to date, almost 17,000 have mobilized to support operations in Bosnia.
The reserves also participate in a wide range of military missions, from airlift support to combined exercises in the former Soviet Union and Latin America. Cohen recently announced a new mission for the National Guard: to support civilian authorities in the event of a domestic incident involving weapons of mass destruction.
Cohen said making the reserve components an integral part of the Total Force is critical as the military prepares to face the next century. The challenges, he said, exceed those of the Cold War era. "Today's problems are more complex and our Total Force must be seamless," he said. "We cannot achieve this as separate active and reserve components."
Cohen announced an integration plan last September to promote the evolution of a seamless force. The plan is based on four principles: that senior leaders clearly understand and recognize the Total Force concept; that active, Guard and reserve units clearly understand each other's missions and roles in operations; that appropriate resources be committed to missions; and that senior commanders ensure the readiness of all parts of the Total Force.
These principles, he said, are fundamental to removing remaining structural and cultural barriers to the integration of active and reserve members.

The big event of the Rugby League season, the NRL Grand Final, will be played this Sunday Oct. 3 between the St George-Illawara Dragons and the Sydney City Roosters, at a sold out ANZ Stadium in Sydney in front of over 80,000 fans.
The Dragons have been the form team of 2010, winning the Minor Premiership, four points clear of the Penrith Panthers. In the finals the Dragons brushed aside Manly 28–nil in round one and narrowly defeated the Tigers 13–12 in the Preliminary Final.
The Roosters, although finishing sixth at the end of the regular season, have been the stand out team of the NRL finals with crushing wins over the Panthers 34–12 and Gold Coast Titans 32–6. In the first week of the play-offs they produced an epic, 100-minute golden point victory over the West Tigers.
The St George and Illawara clubs merged in 1999 and reached the grand final, losing to the Melbourne Storm through a controversial penalty try.
The Roosters have played in four grand finals this decade with a 30-8 win over the Warriors in 2002, 30-8. Last season the Roosters came last. A turnaround from wooden spooners to premiers in consecutive seasons has not happened since Western Suburbs Magpies achieved the feat in 1934.
In a contest within a contest, the final is a battle of coaching skills between the Roosters Brian Smith, and St George-Illawaras Wayne Bennett. Bennett has won six Grand Finals while Smith has taken three teams to the big event of the year but is yet to claim a title.Between them, two of the most experienced coaches in Rugby League History have coached around 1,100 games of first grade football.
Season statistics favour the Dragons in defence and Roosters in attack.
Wayne Bennett's men have the lowest missed tackle count (26 missed tackles per game). The Roosters however have an average of 34 per game.
The Dragons have conceded 54 tries at an average of just 2.08 per game, while the Roosters have let in almost double; 96 tries, or 3.56 per game.
The Roosters are the number one team for both line breaks and tackle busts, and have scored the second most tries this season, 4.2 per game.
Dragons players to watch are fullback Darius Boyd and wingers Jason Nightingale and Brett Morris. While the Roosters dangermen are Dally M player of the year, Todd Carney, and Kiwi's, Shaun Kenny-Dowall and Sam Perrett.
Kickoff is at 5 p.m. Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) and will be preceded by the Toyota Cup Grand Final between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and NZ Warriors at 2 p.m. AEST.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino loves his suit jackets, but he's really not much for formal wear otherwise, usually pairing them with a t-shirt, jeans and necklaces. So it was a remarkable sight to see him looking dapper from head to toe at Donald Trump's Comedy Central Roast last night. Sure, he didn't wear a tie—which puts it behind last year's GQ Men Of The Year party as The Classiest Situation Ensemble Ever—but look at those shoes! And the blue handkerchief! We'd ask if someone was getting married, but we'd expect he wears Ed Hardy and torn denim to church functions.
Despite his classy attire, The Sitch didn't much respect last night—the LA Times says Sorrentino was almost booed off stage after a weak set, including a slave joke about fellow guest Snoop Dogg, who later called the Jersey Shore star Snooki ("Sorry, all white people who act black look the same to me"). Maybe Mike should have just ripped off the suit and given Lisa Lampanelli a lap dance.
Check out the gallery to see some examples of The Situation in (relative) formal wear, as well pics from last night's roast.

Amazing - February 6th, 2005
The characters and themes are excellent as well as the history of the comic book era. Dont much care for the fact that Sammy is gay. This would have done better if not for that fact. Joe\'s character is extremelly well developed. Great read.
Starts great. Finishes Decent. - June 28th, 2004
The first 400 or so pages are Pulitzer Prize (which the book won) worthy, but then the author slips in what seems like a short story he wrote about WWII, which he just changes to fit into this book. That whole hundred pages could have been edited out, making the book around 500 pages rather than 600. Well written.

Dementia can affect a person's ability to recognise the meaning of common emotional words such as 'thrilled' and 'annoyed', according to new research.
Dr Sharpley Hsieh and colleagues from Neuroscience Research Australia explored how people with different types of dementia comprehend words describing feelings, such as 'doubt' and 'hopeful'.
"People use emotion words in everyday conversation and don't realise it. How often do we use sentences such as 'I'm frustrated' or 'she's impressed'? These are key words and you have to know them to understand a sentence," Dr Hsieh explains.
Dr Hsieh found people with Alzheimer's disease are still able to understand these kinds of words, but people with other types of dementia are not.
People suffering from semantic dementia (a type of front temporal dementia) which is the second most common dementia in people under 65 years experience a severe loss of word and conceptual knowledge. This latest study confirms for this group of people, their understanding of emotion words is also severely affected.
"You can easily show a picture of a car to test this word, or a smiling face to show happiness, but feelings such as frustration or embarrassment are difficult to depict and so until now we haven't been able to look at whether these concepts are lost in people with different dementias," Dr Hsieh says.
These findings have implications for sufferers of dementia, carers and families.
"Losing the concept of a toaster, for example, will impact upon a person's quality of life, but the prevalence of words used to communicate feelings and emotion in our language must make the lack of understanding of these words so devastating for patients and their carers," Dr Hsieh says.
This study, published in the journal Neuropsychology, compared healthy people without dementia to people with semantic dementia, behavioural-variant front temporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Two tests were given. The first asked patients to couple feelings such as 'anger' with 'fury' or 'remorse'; the second asked patients to associate words such as 'terror' in the right context such as 'hiding' or 'playing'.
Patients with Alzheimer's disease demonstrated the most successful level of comprehension across tests; people with behavioural-variant front temporal dementia showed a mixed response depending on the test. Patients with semantic dementia were the most impaired on both tests.

Megadeth -- Niagara Falls, NY -- November 17th, 2012
Good show at Rapids theater in the Falls the other night. I love what the new owners have done with the place. Great place for a concert. Got there a little after 7 and the place was packed wall to wall already. The openers Kyng came on soon after. Played until 8. Kind of a little sludge and a little groove mixed together. Never heard their stuff before. Not bad.
Next of course was Megadeth. They came on and kicked ass as they always do. I was really looking forward to this because CTE is my favorite album of theirs after RIP. Getting to hear 6 songs I've never heard them do was a big treat for me. They sounded perfect and I thought the video screens were a cool touch. Dave had a couple of his usual, wacky diatribes. The crowd was great all night. Pretty well behaved for a Megadeth show too. Everything from CTE got great reaction, especially the well known stuff. Not really complaining, but the set was about 3 or 4 songs shorter than other sets I've seen. I don't know if they were in a rush or what. They were done by 10. That's the earliest time I've left a concert after the headliner was done. Great show.

Take THAT, France!!!
Dude, you marry a stud like that, and then take her to Boise for your anniversary?
True story: My wife and I played touch football with our 20-something and teen nephews one Thanksgiving. As a 43-year-old mother of six, she threw for six touchdowns and intercepted two passes, returning one for a TD. Among the players: two former H.S. players and a JC baseball player who lettered in four sports in high school. That's badass.
MyLadyKat..you said it about Dara. My wife's an 40+ ex-champion swimmer. She showed me how hard it had to be for Dara to be in such incredible shape and to perform tonight as well as she did. To be 41 and be able to compete fairly and fiercely with those 17-25 year olds is really a testament to her drive.
OR why do female vaulters run like boys
Why do men vaulters run like girls?
Dara Torres is AMAZING.
I'll be flipping between the Olympics and the game – Beach Volleyball is on right now and I'm bored with it…where's the swimming?! So, yup I"ll be around…filling up the page with comments 😛
Watching the band Sufjan Stevens on Austin City Limits. Lots of players, strings, horns, piano, etc. Everyone is wearing wings. Butterfly wings. Bird wings.
Me again, below.
MyLadyKat, you could always chat here during the Cowboys game. It would be slower, but would help Roy's comment count.
I watched the men's road race (cycling) live, online, last night. It started at 10pm. I took a nap between 1:30am and 3:30am, and watched the last hour.
Captcha: athletes 10:30
Is that another modern myth, RB? LOTS of sports tonight! – UFC championship on PPV, Preseason Cowboys football, and the Olympics!!! What to do?!
The answers to the on-line defensive driving course are 30 m.p.h., True, and "over your right shoulder".
For a country having a billion people, you would think India would have more delegates. I know they are brilliant at cricket, badminton, and table tennis. Oh yes, and tech support.
A dream boat on my screen and thy name is Rafael Nadal.
That's like going to Pizza Hut and asking for the Low Fat pie…with a diet coke.
(Insert your own "Apples in Stereo" pun here)
ha! LOL closely guarded by REM, too.
Hiding out in the Love Shack, no doubt.
I hope the Russians try to invade Athens, Ga. It's guarded by B-52s.
Roy, I see the dang Russians invaded Georgia. I hope they don't burn Atlanta… And in related news, France has waved the white flag…
Bermuda shorts, white socks and black sandals. It's HOT out there!
No, not TMI… I'm probably just being anal… Now, are those Bermuda shorts with white socks and black shoes?
My broad definition of "pants" includes "shorts." TMI?
I can MAYBE see the shaving, depending on the condition of one's skin… but pants? On vacation? Roy, it's hot outside…
Sorry… send the bill for the new keyboard to Roy. He owes me a couple.
Shall we shoot for 200???
OMG Geo you made me spit out my drink LOLOLOL – nice one Lefty
Dear Roy,
Don't worry about getting down to an "A" cup. Accept who you are!
Phil Mickelson
Under the new design, my e-vil overlords are trying to put more hard news on the home page, I guess.
Well, they sure did bury you on the SA Express Web site or maybe you're trying to hide, but I like reading your blog. Glad I found it……eventually.
You have about a month to accomplish that RB! good luck! I've tried and have never been successful – well if you count the fact that I cheated with a lap band 😛
Roy, if you haven't figured out a plan of action for tomorrow, you can come up and help me clean out my garage so that I can get another car into it.
That's really too bad, RB. I personally had a ton of fun during the chats…but I guess it was just me? So sad
It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved. It ain't that way with chat, however. Crappy chat software makes everyone miserable and no one thinks it was a good idea. I can't find decent chat software.
oh hey hey hey guys!!! The Dallas Cowboys preseason starts on Saturday!! Are we gonna chat it up??
good plan hahahahahaha
Wherever he is, he's hittin' it hard, because he was watching cops in Kimble County give tickets 3 hrs ago, and 1 hr ago he was on the River Walk and SEATED, after having parked & walked down some stairs. Junction to SA is 98 miles (I used to drive it every couple weeks).
Amazing leader we are following. A real road warrior.
sa reader, maybe Roy's doing a state-wide search for cheap gas.
Both Kerr and Kimble Counties, esp. Kimble, use I-10 as revenue generators (euphemism for speed traps). If you see cops giving tickets there, it's just business as usual and says not much about crime in general in Kimble County.
btw, RB, are you lost? You were in Fredericksburg and now you're headed through Junction? Are you going back to Carlsbad Caverns? Respectfully…
No ticket for me today. I just saw cops working both sides of the Interstate near Junction. Thankfully, stopping people driving 100 mph in the middle of nowhere means that no one is committing any real crime anywhere else in Kimble County. Phew!
Did RB just get a ticket?
I got no rain, none, not any, nothing, to no extent, zero, zip, zilch, 0.00″.
The dust outside my door is still dust…my windshield got no sprinkles, except when I went to HEB, where I got 40 sprinkles. I guess that was my 40%.
piquant – engagingly stimulating or provocative; attracting or delighting; "an engaging frankness"
So there you are, right in the Thesaurus, on line. Meaning conversationally, of course.
I guess your kid hates the goofy Suddenlink guy as much as I do. Those commercials are stupid … and annoying
Correction: Ed Wood did leave me damp. 0.05″ according to the nearest weather station.
Roy, you've got the kids with you? I thought you were taking a vacation!
Ed Wood didn't even give me enough rain to wash the dust off of the windshield.
You ain't kidding, sa reader. This has been a long week or so without the long blog humor of RB. Twitter's fine but he's right, half the time it's down.
This feels alot like waiting to see if they are REALLY getting rid of our NCIS favorites. House did last season. Is NCIS doing to us too?
Captcha – to deplorable That's appropriate!
Wow..over 120 posts. RB had better give us all T-shirts of his world tour after this effort. Show me another blog/column on this site that gets this kind of loyalty.
FYI–you can count airport terminals as cities you've been in for your world tour shirt.
Nooooo — it can't be — only 3 more days and we get the t-shirt
I think we've overloaded the comments section!
RB should buy Kat a sense of humor while he's in Fredericksburg.
Thanks, sa reader. Use the google maps "Street View" to get the pictures.
Captcha: breathing In
No problem, MyLadyKat. As long as I make myself chuckle, I'm happy, and I'm pretty easily amused (thankfully).
Now that you explain it, that WAS pretty funny. Sometimes your piquant sense of humor blows right past me.
And how'd you do that mapping thing?
my Captcha is "hysterical it".
that's how I'm laughing at the joke
Ugh! Sorry Frank, I'll try better next time
Yeah, I know that Fredricksburg is a street in San Antonio. It was just another of my many failed attempts at humor. I spent the first 5.5 years of my life here: http://tinyurl.com/6c2cag
"Fredericksburg is directly across from me"
Frank, there's a street in San Antonio named Fredericksburg Road. MLKat is in a multi-story office building at the intersection of IH-10 and Huebner Road in SA–sounds like a USAA building–and 'Fred' Road is 1 block from there.
Well, I'm getting some rain but it's just mist…ugh! and I see the dark clouds all around me too but no rain! My lawn is sooo thirsty.
To Frank: I'm actually across Fredricksburg the road – RB is too far away from me; otherwise I would asked him for some peaches
Not to worry, Frank. According to the Doppler radar, you should be clobbered by rain any minute now.

OMG, the street's wet outside! It misted long enough to get the street wet and turn the dirt on my car to a crust that will be impossible to get off. C'mon Eddie, you can do that better than that. Rain on our parade!
If you're directly across from Fredricksburg, MyLadyKat, be sure to wave at Roy.
I'm convinced that it will never rain in Austin again. Ever.

Lucky Lady! Here at the airport it's only overcast, no darkness or moisture in sight. C'mon rain, the aquifer and our formerly lawn-like patches could use a long cool drink!
Of course, I'm currently on I-10 and Huebner; from my office I can see Sea World to the west and Fredericksburg is directly across from me.
The west, milady? Might a gentleman enquire whereabout you might be situated?
FYI! Eddie is heading my way! well, outside my office window you can see the sky is REALLY dark towards the west! No rain yet!

Another is the killer bunny rabbit and the holy hand grenade. Oh, throw out your dead is a great one as well.
I gotta drive to Florida in the next day or so. Anybody wanna hazard a guess on whether I can start tomorrow morning and make it without getting swamped by rain? I don't mind getting my car washed but I do need it to stay between the little white lines most of the way. Was supposed to go today but unlike Roy, I don't actually want to see the storm up close and personal.
Or on a 2-week vacation, Henry.
Wow, what happened to the blog?…all is quiet. I guess everyone is boarded up for Mr. Ed.

And the flashback stories are great. Boring all those people to death. Also Striker's drinking problem. Tons of others. Airplane 2 is also good.

This has nothin' to do with nothin' but I heard that Sean Elliot gets the Express-News and he has the guy place it on his front step (not the end of the driveway) so his mom can pick it up as usual, even if she's not as nimble as she used to be. It's heartwarming to see a son take good care of his mom and still allow her to keep her dignity.
I wonder if she can still get the big guy to say "Aw Mom" when she asks to do something he don't want to? Even beloved basketball stars and favorite sportscasters gotta do what Mom says. Now if I could just get my 11-year-old to understand that…

Anyway, my biggest come-down as a parent was when I took my two darling, innocent, clean, pure-as-the-driven-snow children to see the movie "Airplane." They caught on to all the jokes before I did and were laughing their heads off. What do they teach those kids in daycare, anyway?

I saw Little Richard in the Detroit airport while he was riding on a cart. He was waving and doing that "Woooo" thing to everybody. Also saw Kareem Abdul Jabbar at the San Antonio airport. He was getting the full body cavity search and he was P.O'd. He was right next to me, so I told him he was one of my favorite players. He ignored me.
You may be right, Frank…but I still will never like Jessica Simpson.
I think I'm the only one in Austin who doesn't have a Lance Armstrong encounter, though I did see his wife (preggers with their twins at the time) and son at a restaurant.
MyLadyKat, maybe the breakup with Carrie wasn't Tony's idea…
Famous people I've met: Nicholas Cage (not the nicest guy in the world) – Don Johnson (HE was a sweet guy) – Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron (they were filming Sweet November outside my house in San Francisco) – never have seen anyone famous at the airport, though. I saw Tony Romo and Carrie Underwood at a bar once; I think it was his birthday in Dallas. Don't know what Romo sees in Jessica Simpson because Carrie is a doll. I've met Def Leppard, Bon Jovi and Guns N Roses (backstage pass – was impressed with neither band as they were drunk – except Jon Bon Jovi he was very nice to us and had not been drinking). Also met Robin Williams wife and their kids when they were way young at Benihana in San Francisco's Japantown.
I met Roy Bragg before he was famous. I also worked at a small cafe/bar in College Station where Lyle Lovett played before he became famous.
I forgot Johnny Rodriguez… met him at "My House Up", which was a little country bar outside of Osan Air Base, South Korea…

Maybe Gallagher had trouble getting his big mallet through security.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that said Gallagher was flying SWA (he *has* fallen far, ain't he?) to John Wayne airport in California. I can't remember where that is exactly, maybe Orange County, but I DO remember that the pilot slows the engines on takeoff from there so it's not "too loud" for the pampered residents who live *that close* to an airport. (shaking head sadly) Omg, I love Texas! Where men are men and women…
Speaking of celebrities in airports, I saw the former comedian, Gallagher, in Vegas during a layover in 2005. He was surly so although everyone recognized him, they left him alone. Sadly, the big-shot comedian was wearing a Gallagher jacket (I guess so we WOULD recognize him) but had a "C" boarding pass. What kind o' peeps does HE have where he has to wait for all us'n with A's and B's to get before he can?
A relative of mine sings rock (in bands) and so he keeps up with what's going on with the personnel of the various bands. He says there are a lot of videos on YouTube with the new singer and that he is really good–sings the songs like Steve Perry does, has great passion on stage & audience rapport. Sounds like Journey has finally found the singer they needed.
Didn't got to the concert but one of my SAPD friends went that night and said that if he hadn't looked at the guy on stage he could have sworn Steve Perry was back with the group. I don't about that Steve Perry is one a kind. BTW, Vegas in the summer S*CKS!!

2. If that dont work, my dad is SAPD.

Anyways, I looked up Snake River. Isnt it on the Idaho border? White water rafting, etc?
It seemed to be very effective… I think only because of Roddy… you know how he could be… Thanks for the kind words…
Geo…that was a very well constructed letter. You should pat yourself on the back for that. Was it effective?
As for the reason we're here..RB's travels…I like the sound of his trip thus far. I'm not sure where he was headed but he sure took the long way to get there. He must've flown one of the lesser known major airlines.
Now you got me started…here's a link to the original article about the 'broken-window theory', 1982:
It's a good one, and might have somethings in it that will trigger combat ideas for you and your neighborhood. I hope you have a neighborhood association, for that's the best way to go about this. THEN if you're not getting anywhere, Geo's suggestion about writing to the councilmember has even more weight, because a neighborhood association carries a lot of votes. A main thing to combat is graffiti, as your neighborhood did by replacing the fence, because graffiti is the first symptom of a neighborhood's running down. If they're renters,
pester the landlord about any needed repairs to the house "because of association by-laws".
M2… This worked for me… Mailed it to my Councilwoman and Roddy Stinson… action taken right away…
"Dear Councilwoman Herrera,
Drug Dealers 1 – Your Street Here and YOUR District 0!
For the past two years, there has been a KNOWN drug dealer (marijuana, pain pills, and who knows what else is to come) living at 9522 XXXXX, District Six, San Antonio, Texas, 782XX.
The dealer, Royal XXXXX, has been arrested at least twice for drug offensives.
The people on our street are scared to let our kids play outside, his customers drive down the street at all hours of the day and night at high rates of speed? the smell of marijuana permeates the area near his house.
It gets better?
Most of the Fathers on the street have confronted the young man. We have had the Police out on numerous occasions, but nothing has been done. The drug traffic still continues.
My neighbor, a Detective with the SAPD, confronted Mr. Hammond, after he had made threatening gestures towards his house and family. He had called the Westside Substation, but we know the reaction time of that station. He took action. The situation had to end. We needed to be safe, to be able to let our kids play? And what did the Detective get? A one-day suspension!!!
Again, drug dealers 1, your citizens 0. Drug dealers 1, SAPD 0… I am sure Royal XXXXX will be notified of the ?punishment? handed the Detective? I?m sure he will brag to his friends? ?Come on down to XXXXX XXXXX? let?s get high? the cops, the Police Chief, the City, does not care.
Let me share these words from Mr. Henry Cisneros (I?m sure you know who he is):
?James Q. Wilson and George Kelling developed the `broken windows' thesis to explain the signaling function of neighborhood characteristics. This thesis suggests that the following sequence of events can be expected in deteriorating neighborhoods. Evidence of decay (accumulated trash, broken windows, deteriorated building exteriors) remains in the neighborhood for a reasonably long period of time. People who live and work in the area feel more vulnerable and begin to withdraw. They become less willing to intervene to maintain public order (for example, to attempt to break up groups of rowdy teens loitering on street corners) or to address physical signs of deterioration.
Sensing this, teens and other possible offenders become bolder and intensify their harassment and vandalism. Residents become yet more fearful and withdraw further from community involvement and upkeep. This atmosphere then attracts offenders from outside the area, who sense that it has become a vulnerable and less risky site for crime.?
Mark my words, when a child on XXXXXXX gets hit by a drugged up driver, or is a victim of a drive-by shooting, you will be the first person I call.
Maybe M2 can put fear into them — wear the opposing gang colors, good call. So what'll it be M2? Red, Blue, or Gold
That's difficult. You've probably thought of all of the following:
(1)For the graffiti, when you put up new fence boards, spray them first with something containing Teflon (TM DuPont).
(2)Can you drive 'em crazy with complaints to City Code enforcement for any little thing? Or does Code have to reveal to them who filed the complaint, which could be dangerous for you, your pets, & your cars?
(3)Have you ever considered several video cameras aimed at their house from several homes? Unobtrusively, of course, so they don't vandalize the houses having the cameras.
(4)Do they ever leave home all at once, so a group of you, to have corroborating witnesses, can get in the front yard and pick up the marijuana butts to show police?
(5)Are any juveniles smoking pot with them? Do they deal, or just use? If they deal, there will be cars making quick stops during all hours. Is this house within 1000 ft of a school? Are they renters? Is the house in any disrepair?
In other words, can you-all (the neighborhood) think of ways to irritate them to death?
'Way out of bounds is this question: Can you hire an opposing gang?
These are your garden variety thugs. They don't want to help build anything nice. All they want to do is vandalize and deface what exists now. People who refuse to go along with them have had their pets poisoned and their cars keyed.
And of course…our wonderful police department can't do anything because it's merely an allegation and there is no substantive proof. Let's see..the guys have more tats than I have brain cells left.
They smoke dope in the front yard and get angry when they put gang graffiti on the fence and neighbors complain and the neighborhood replaces that section of the fence.
The police says that they can't do anything. The DA's office says it can't do anything and it's one of those things were the vermin win because people try to act in a civil manner.
The only thing these people know how to do is criminal and just minor enough that the police won't investigate it.
M2 could also get that concrete wall with the shards of pointed glass embedded at the top! My family in Mexico has that
M2bord, if they have kids, casually mention that you can't wait until you get off of the sex offenders list. Maybe they'll move
m2bord: Depending on what the thugs are doing, how tall is your fence? Does it have razor wire on top? Do you have an electric fence inside that one? No, seriously, what are they doing?
try Alabama TexMex. Comes with free symptoms of food poisoning …
Do they use Spuds instead of tomatoes, RB? bleh. We should send you some salsa.
Ugh, I'd say move, M2. When the counter ladies at Bath & Body ask for my email address I always say firstname.lastname@example.com …. only I spell it out LOL
I know that RB has spared no expense and is flying in the cargo hold of the plane as a piece of luggage to cut costs.
Think about it…$15 for the first bag and $50 for being over 50 lbs. RB could fly for $65 and not have to sit next to the smelly guy who won't shut up about his family or job.
Speaking of which…does anyone have any advice on how to deal with thug neighbors whose actions are just over the law enough so that SAPD won't mess with them, yet they are a menace to not just you but to the neighborhood as well?
Roy… while you are on the plane, remember… "A lot of little bottles makes a big bottle"
Phone numbers schome numbers…. what's up with Wal-Mart asking to see my receipt when I walk out of the store? I told the lady "No". If you want to accuse me of stealing, then call the cops…. I felt bad, but it was a real long day and I don't like shopping at Wal-Mart…
I give them the good ol' time & temp: 210-226-3232
The clerks I've asked say that they don't really care–that they just need to fill in the field so that the screen software will move to the next block.
as Jim Rome says, "more of Roy and less of us is always a good thing…" well he doesn't mean RB–he means more of Rome but I digress.
let us know if you see any celebrity types RB. we like to live vicariously through you.
in an unrelated topic…when someone in a store or online asks you for your home phone number…do you give it to them?
i like to give them the time and temperature phone number or if it's a larger company, i'll give them the local law enforcement's number.
Well, hmmm…What happened? Now we'll have to make our own entertainment? Here I am in SA at 6:00 AM, and there is no Twitter feed. Can we resume the comment stream here from the "Untold stories of Hurricane Dolly"?

I Am 21 Years Old Can I Go for Hair Transplant? (photo)
Doctor Answers 10
Young and balding
If you have had this much hair loss at age 21, you might consider medication to preserve the hair you still have. I would not recommend transplanting the crown area.
Start with non-invasisve at this age
There are many methods of hair transplantation. Wanted them RFUE and another can be a surgical flap. Grafts can be taken with as few as one hair follicle or multiple follicles. The quality of the hair, the number of follicles per unit and the location in which the hair is to be placed are all important determinants in the final result. While it is a common misconception that hair can and should be taken from any location, taking appropriate hair from an appropriate location is key to success. For instance, one cannot always use hair from a beard to replace a frontal hairline. The orientation in which Harris placed is also important. If the frontal hairline is being created then it is important to make sure that hairs are aligned in the correct orientation. The way the hair is also laid down, for example a staggered pattern versus a straight line will also change the quality of the result. You should certainly visit with a surgeon who does many of these types of transplantations as well as offers multiple options for hair restoration. The cost can vary by geographic locale. In general they can arrange from $7000-$25,000. When you go over consultation ask for before and after photographs.
Hair Transplant in Young Patients
The conventional approach is the assumption of poor candidacy due to young age. These days however, with the advent of advanced FUE techniques such as my uGraft which enable the use of head and non head hair in transplantation, even young patients can be evaluated and counseled for a possible hair transplant. With this degree of hair loss at your age, it should be assumed you would be terminally bald eventually. SO any use of head donor must be strictly within the confines of the safe donor area. Next, you should do FUE instead of FUT strip method, since you level of hair loss would likely favor buzz cutting your hair at some point. A strip scar would preclude this hair grooming choice. Finally, a Buzz cut would cut donw on the number of grafts you would require in the long run. Definitely consult with a hair loss specialist. Watch this vide which discusses a successful HT approach in a young patient.

Hair Transplant in Young
The dilemma of hair restoration at young age is still not resolved. At one side is the strong psychological need for hair and on other side is the practical issue of on-going loss and final graft requirement. One has to devise a plan to balance these issues in long term. My personal approach to this problem is,
1. Stabilization: Stop or minimize ongoing hair loss with medicines. This not only delays baldness, but may even result in some cosmetically useful growth. 2. Frontal Coverage: A mature hairline design with deep temporal troughs and emphasis on frontal forelock region, not just hairline.
3. Conservation: Minimum number of hair adequate for desired cosmetic results should be used. My personal preference is FUE in such patients, as we can pick and choose the type of grafts. Avoid dense packing.
4. Reassess: As the need arises, further sessions should be incorporated in the plan. Body hairs should be used judiciously when required.
Perhaps, the most pertinent advice would be to plan long term with your doctor. Keep your expectations low and head high.
Work Up & Stabilize First
Your hair loss looks like it is genetic, but a dermatologist's evaluation with a biopsy, if necessary, should be considered before doing anything.
I believe it would be a bad idea to have a hair transplant, especially for the back at your age. It would be best to try to stabilize the hair loss with medications first. Good quality professional photography can help to determine if the hair loss has stopped, or at least been significantly been retarded. Wait a minimum of one year of stability before considering surgery.
Save your (limited) donor hair for the front.
Hair Loss At 21
All the recommendations you have gotten are correct. You should wait until you hair loss pattern becomes stable. Then the true nature of the loss can be evaluated and potentially treated.
Dr. ES
Preserving the frontal hairline is main priority with hair transplantation at a young age
I agree with the first 2 Doctors. You can certainly consider hair transplantation, but you have too much hair loss to even consider transplanting the crown area at this time. There is always enough donor hair to reconstruct the frontal hairline , but with severe balding there will not be enough donor hair to transplant the entire top of the head. Anti-balding medications (oral and topical ) also need to be part of the plan.
Hair loss at age 21
You have advanced hair loss for your age. You need to get in to a hair transplant surgeon to discuss all of your medical and surgical options. Evn though you show your crown, the frontal hairline will take priority. All of this will be discussed during your in-person consultation. Do not think that you will get all the answers you need from the internet. Best, Dr. P
Hair Transplant Age
At this age it is best to develop a careful plan with your physician before undergoing anything. You may have to do a combination of approaches that includes medications. Always consult directly with an MD or 2 if you can.
Stop progressive hair loss & thicken existing hair with a a non-surgical treatment because loss can progress after a transplant
There are two ways to deal with the amount of hair loss in his age. Number one is to address the hair loss. We can slow down, stop and even reverse the hair loss with injections called ACell. This is a form of cloning material that reactivates your adult stem cells which are dormant after you are born and turns them into progenitor cells. It then brings those progenitor cells to the site of injury and restores the progenitor cell protection of the hair follicles from the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In my practice, we had a lot of success of slowing down, stopping and even in some cases reversing hair loss in young people. In fact, younger people do better with this type of treatment.
The second thing is either to take those injections independently or combine it with Propecia or medication that is FDA approved to see whether we could stop or slow down your hair loss, and possibly reverse it as well. The interesting part is that Propecia blocks the conversion to DHT which is the enemy of the hair follicles. The hair follicles are genetically sensitive and the actual progenitor cells increases the protection of the hair follicles against the DHT. So if the person wants to do both, there's nothing wrong with that. That's probably better than either one separately.
If we would go ahead and do a hair transplant on you, we would start on the front of the head and restore a higher hairline so that we can frame your face again. We should also see to it that you get the level of protection from the injections. I thank you very much for your question.
