Question: Speratic hair loss through the beard area
|concernedguy71 - Mon Apr 20, 2009 1:41 am
Share |
I am 32 years old and can grow a full thick beard. I had a small quarter size patch of hair stop growing on the jaw line 3 years ago, but it started regrowing hair after about 6 months. Now there are several spots on both sides of the face where it has stopped growing again. What is causing these bald patches?
|John Kenyon, CNA - Sun Apr 26, 2009 10:58 pm
Share |
While this sometimes happens in areas where there has been some irritation or injury, if that is definitely not the case then it is probably an autoimmune disorder known as Alopecia areata barbae, meaning loss of facial hair. It is usually spotty and about half of all cases resolve on their own. Of the rest, many respond to steroid treatment, but it's well to give this time (often months) to resolve on its own. If it gets too severe or widespread you can either shave and/or consult with a dermatologist.
I hope this helps. Good luck to you. Please follow up with us here if needed.

This "SJW" business doesn't involve an argument contrasting opposing views of the nature and meaning of social justice. It doesn't involve some ideological dispute between competing visions of the proper role of the state, or of law, or markets, civil society, neighborliness, etc. It's a wholesale rejection of the idea that social justice — in any form — is worthwhile.

Excellent value
We have been using this sink for about six weeks now. However we owned it for about three months. When the contractor saw the sink, he was convinced that we paid double for the sink, and he couldn't believe that the faucet came with it. I would recommend it to a friend, and I would buy it again. However one word of caution. Make sure that your cabinets can accommodate the skirt of the sink. In other words choose cabinets built for farmhouse sinks.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? very good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. This sink is absolutely quiet when water is being run.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very good description

My experience with similar constructions: even with the dedicated LM1801 moisture sensor IC that puts only AC over the electrodes, the only material that survives longer term is carbon. (Recycled from old D type batteries). Stainless steel did not survive very long. I also would recommend a snubber (RC network) over the relay contact to reduce wear, as the pump is an inductive load. I have an automatic pump in my cellar to prevent flooding after heavy rain. A bit more elaborate, everything is redundantly built, with an alarm if one of the pumps fails.View Instructable »

Most people that come to the Adirondacks are intrigued and inspired by the rugged yet majestic architectural style that can be found on many historic properties on and around Lake George.
This style is commonly referred to as Adirondack Architecture. This style, like the famous Adirondack chairs, has been imitated and brought to many parts of the world.
The origins of this unique style go back to the Great Camps that the rich and famous of the past would build as mountain retreats to get away from the hustle and bustle of big city life.
The camps were very influenced by Swiss chalet architecture. They were typically built with local building materials, such as split, peeled or whole logs, natural stones (granite fieldstone being among my favorites). Rocks, bark, roots and burls were masterfully used on these buildings.
The result was the creation of intriguing and rustic atmospheres in these great camps. Not only that, but they saved on building costs, back then moving materials in from afar was a very costly thing.
Another common feature of Adirondack architecture is the massive stone fireplaces that were usually but in huge "great rooms". A great room is basically a huge room for entertaining. It usually includes a huge fireplace and lots of windows with great views of the surrounding mountains and/or lakes.
Interior decorations usually included mounted trophies of local fish and wild game, American Indian artifacts and for some reason Japanese screens and fans were also very commonly used.
Many enjoy simply driving around and looking at some of the grand houses in the area. This is a favorite pastime in the autumn when it can be accompanied by leaf peeping. It is also fun to see the houses built along the shores of Lake George by boat.
There are some historic buildings and camps in the area that can be visited and toured.
By far my favorite is the Great Camp Sagamore, not to be confused with the Sagamore Hotel in Bolton Landing.
Camp Sagamore was built by none less than the Vanderbilt's themselves as a family mountain retreat. We all know that the Vanderbilt family didn't do anything small and this camp was no exception.
The camp is about an hour and a half from Lake George, but the drive in itself is worth it. If you are on motorcycles it makes a great day trip!
You can find information about the property and tours at their website: greatcampsagamore.org.
Not far from Camp Sagamore is another great camp to visit: the Santanoni, which is one of the most outstanding historic examples of Adirondack architecture.
The property is open year-round, however, in the winter tours are only available on weekends. During the week you can still take a self guided tour. It is a favorite winter destination for snowshoers and cross country skiers.
It is a little bit closer to Lake George and usually only takes about an hour to get to. Many visitors decide to visit both sites on the same day trip.
If you are staying in Lake George and want somewhere closer you may want to take a ride down "Millionaires Row". By boat is a great way to see the majestic mansions that line the western shore of Lake George between the village and Bolton Landing.
As of the time of writing one of my favorite ones is for sale. The price is a little high for me, but it doesn't hurt to dream ;-). This stunning Tudor Revival, built in 1895, is one of the original homes from the early-20th-century Millionaires' Row. It was designed by the prominent architects Ludlow and Peabody (architects of the Vanderbilt University).
A fascinating part of Adirondack architecture are the many boathouses that can be found on the lakes in the Adirondacks. The original ones were built as garages to keep the boats out of the weather, however, they later started to build rooms, apartments and even houses above them!
The read our article on houseboats CLICK HERE.
When they hear "boathouse" some think of a boat that is a house, these aren't very common in the area because of the long winters, however, they are possible. Below is an interesting video about a "tiny house" that was built on a boat in Canada, even farther North than the Adirondacks:
I don't know about you, but I am fascinated with what are now called "tiny-houses". My dream is to build one, not on a trailer, but on a small catamaran! …I'll keep you posted when I finally start this project.
A tiny-house is roughly defined as a house that is less than 1,000 square ft, although most authentic tiny-houses don't surpass 500 square ft. The idea of downsizing, simplifying and concentrating on the important things in life is very appealing to most of us and tiny-homes seem to offer the solution. If this appeals to you check out these TINY-HOUSE PLANS
Of course tiny house living requires quite a bit of imagination! Living in most Italian cities —where spaces are tight— one learns to make good use of every centimeter available. The following video is a great example of Italian innovation that make good use of space, of course the outside cabinet can be made rustic, or any other style you want.
I was surprised to see that there are many forms of tiny houses from the past, like the one below. The house in this picture can be found in downtown Dallas among modern skyscrapers, it was built by an settler in the area long before Dallas was even a city!
Of course you don't have to be a millionaire to enjoy all Adirondack architecture. Modern Adirondack architecture uses a lot of the characteristics of the great camps, like the rustic feel and the use of "mountain" materials, but in a much more realistic setting.
If you want to some nice examples of Adirondack Architecture the following site is nice: Adirondack Architecture.
Our B&B/Inn was built in the 1920's, it is a nice example of the architecture of its' period. We are still in the process of remodeling it. We accented the original exterior stucco with stone facade in the front and will soon be adding a balcony. We have also started to restore the original hardwood floors in the main house.
We have tried to add a rustic Italian flavor to the property. If you are in the area feel free to stop in and see us!

Research Findings
Our definition of Creativity is:
'The ability to come up with ideas or artefacts that are novel, valuable and substantive'
From our research, five main elements have consistently appeared in relation to creativity. They are 'state of being', play, natural preferences, dynamic movement, and self-determination/ intrinsic motivation. Each term is defined below:
State of Being: the emotional, mental and physiological condition of a person
Play: when a person engages in an activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious purpose
Natural Preference: a person's natural inclination or spontaneous reaction
Dynamic Movement: the continuous motion of personal experience that is of a non-linear and spontaneous nature.
Self Determination / Intrinsic Motivation: "behaviours that are volitional and accompanied by the experience of freedom and autonomy—those that emanate from one's sense of self" (Ryan and Deci, 2000).

Look nice, but performance is poor
I do not have particularly high standards, but I have tried several different noise-cancel headphone recently and these were some of the worst performers. They look nice, but when you turn on the noise cancel there is barely any noise reduction. I wish they were better but they just aren't. If you want noise cancelling headphones, please don't waste time/money on these.

Hordes of asylum-seeking Gypsy thieves are overrunning our welfare state and using their children as props to beg money on our streets. Or so the tabloids would have it. Isabel Fonseca asks why we are reverting to myth and superstition in our reaction to a people who need our help.
