Haircut

Get a hair cut and help animals at the same time. On Aug. 1, Patrick Lomantini, owner of Lomantini The Salon, is embarking on a 50-state tour to complete 50 haircuts per day in 50 days to bring attention to and raise money for the many animals in shelters across the country. Lomantini will stop at Bel Air's Domani Studio on Aug. 10 for a day-long cutting extravaganza. All haircuts will be free, however a suggested donation of at least $20 per person is recommended. That money will go to The Humane Society of Harford County.

Oh my god no, no, no!!! It didn't have to be this way The Walking Dead. Dammit! When I said the last few episodes were moving along slowly, I didn't mean that I wanted you to kill off my favorite character! Scratch that: my best friend. This Sorrowful Life indeed... If you're one of those people that doesn't watch The Walking Dead until like five days later, sorry, that's on you. When you make life decisions like that you're basically sacrificing your right to not have the shocking plot twists spoiled for you. And if you want to avoid those traps, it's your responsibility to stay off of the dang Internet!

Larry Bird cut his own hair at the Olympics.He did this, he said, because he found out that a haircut in Barcelona would cost him $80.Eighty dollars truly is an outrageous price for a haircut, but Larry Bird earns $80 about every one-tenth of a second.I know why Bird really cut his own hair: He is afraid of Mystery Haircuts.Mystery Haircuts are the haircuts you get when you are away from home and can't wait until you get to your regular barber.The second worst place to get a Mystery Haircut is a hotel barbershop because the barbers know they will not see you again for a long time.

Burns Jr. ordered him to trim months of unchallenged growth of his beard and hair."He looked like Grizzly Adams before the haircut," said Assistant State's Attorney Christy McFaul. "Now he looks more like he did when he was arrested."Mr. Yoswick, whose trial on attempted murder, kidnapping and robbery charges begins tomorrow, was clean-shaven when he was arrested.

My plans for today call for a much-needed haircut. It's a once-a-month routine and like most people, I don't like to experiment. Old habits don't disappear. The hair lessons learned as a child continue to dictate my behavior today. A fine gentleman named John R. DeVos had a barber shop on Greenmount Avenue, just to the east of old Oriole Park in Waverly. Johnnie, as we called him, had cut the hair of my great-grandfather, grandfather and father, my uncle and cousins.

With hundreds of channels and millions of possible shows to write about, the key to covering television is to know what matters. Felicity's hair matters. Over the summer, Russell, star of the WB's "Felicity," cut her long, curly hair, and six months later it is still one of the hottest topics of discussion on the Winter Press Tour.

Funny Cide's owners swear they were never especially superstitious. At least not until the former high school buddies opted to save on transportation money by renting a school bus to take them from their hotel to Churchill Downs in May 2003. After their long shot gelding won the Kentucky Derby that day, they rented exactly the same sort of iconic yellow buses to transport them to the Preakness (which they won) and the Belmont (they lost). "We were going to ride those school buses as long as they would take us," co-owner Jack Knowlton said this week.

Super Bowl Sunday arrives, and Nate Smith has an important message for his girlfriend, Darlene Griffin. It goes like this: "Don't be wearin' my slippers. " That's a warning Nate uttered the other day, after cutting my hair in the West Baltimore shop where he styles and teaches the tonsorial arts. He seemed to be asking me to convey the message for him, though I'm sure he's delivered it directly by now: "Don't be wearin' my slippers, Darlene. " Those are Nate's 'Niners slippers, see, a gift from a customer.
