Facial Hair
Health Tip #26,

I guess it’s
a little ironic that I finally do a Health Tip on facial hair, just a few
days after I shave off my
sideburns and goatee. Oh well. I’ve had them before, I’ve even had a full
beard before, and someday I’ll have them again. Men, you might want
to consider growing some facial hair. It is fun to experiment, to try out some style out for a few months. And
the great thing about doing this is that it’s not as permanent as changing
your hairstyle; if you don’t like it, just shave it off! You should try it
at least once! You’ll probably discover something interesting about
yourself. Me, I found out that even though I have brown hair on top, my
beard comes in red and blond. Some types of facial
hair include: Beard: hair all over on the face, usually
edged at some neckline Mustache: hair just under the nose and above
the upper lip Goatee: a mustache and the hair on the chin Sideburns: rectangular cut extending down
parallel to the ears Pointy
Sideburns: like Captain Kirk
and Mr. Spock Mutton Chops: a full beard, but without the
mustache / goatee Van Dyke: full beard but with the goatee much
longer than the rest Handlebars: the ends of the mustache are longer
and are waxed or twirled Hulihee: no hair on chin, cheek-hair is very
bushy like a goatee Chin Curtain: line of hair from sideburns down and
under chin Franz-Josef: the line of hair instead extends
into the mustache |

SOME SAY it should be called a Van Dyke
rather than a goatee. Others disagree. In any case, in popular usage today, they
are almost always just called goatees- a style of facial hair achieved by
growing only the beard on the front and sometimes below the chin. The moustache
is grown to accompany the goatee. "It gives people a different look. And I guess
that the people sporting a goatee do stand out in a crowd. About the girls,
well, there are some who like it, some who don't and some who insist on it,"
says Rahul, a student.
Goatee, a truly guy experience, has
websites dedicated to the art of grooming the goatee and more. While some say
the beard style is the symbol of an arrived gentleman, statements like `avoid
people who drive a German car, use cologne, wear Armani or Prada and sport a
goatee,' feature on the top ten lessons of public relations.
"It can best suit people with
personality such as Sam Pitroda. It is a façade behind which people hide their
original visage," says Sailesh, a globetrotter.
"I think the goatee beard makes a
perfectly normal-faced person look like a goat. This half-hearted attempt for a
beard is probably some smart cookie's idea of converting into a style on his
inability to go completely clean-shaven due to a boil that sprung up between his
lower lip and chin," say Guraz Wankadia, an anti-goatee advocate in Manama.
To mimic success, or for standing out in
the crowd, the goatees are definitely in. "Many people in the 20-35 years age
group are going for the goatee today. It can range from the French beard to the
one below the lip that came into fame after Dil Chahta Hai, and teamed with stylish spiky hair do among the
young who want to look different. Then there are those who would opt for a
goatee for prosperity. Amitabh Bachchan rose from debts to success after he
started sporting a goatee and it can indeed change one's luck," ," says Vijay
Kant, Alexander Mens' Salon, Himayatnagar.
In vogue, for fashion and fetish, if the
goatee suits you, why not go for one. Here are some top tips to help you grow
that perfect goatee. If you have enough hair already, simply don't shave for a
few days, then shape the stubble into the goatee of your dreams. If you don't
have enough hair yet, then to stimulate growth, shave as often as possible. Once
you think you've got enough growth, go for it. A style for that chic, neat
looking visage, goatee will be a popular style, is the common belief.

Goatee vs. Van Dyke |

I'm a bit sick and
tired of people not knowing the difference between a 'goatee' and a 'Van
Dyke', so I'll illustrate. Goatee - \Goat`ee"\, n. A part of a man's
beard on the chin or lower lip which is allowed to grow, and trimmed so as
to resemble the beard of a goat. A 'Van Dyke' is a
variation of a goatee with a mustache, named after the 17th century
Flemish painter, Sir Anthony Van Dyck (also spelled Van Dyke). (src)

There was no apparent beef between the sausages and pierogies, but Pirates fans were ready to see the sausages eaten alive last night in their first showdown since the infamous July 9 whacking incident involving Pirate first baseman Randall Simon.
"I think it's gonna be brutal," said Paul Bell, 44, of Center, before the game. "Teeth are gonna be bared tonight. There's no stopping the pierogies."
"This is why I came to the game, to see the race," Frank
Hooper, 50, of
Before the race, anticipation for the big event was building among fans.
Cheers of "pierogies, pierogies!" echoed from left field. "Pierogies Rule, Sausages Stink" read the signs of 11-year-old Tina Wiser and her best friend, Cassie Thompson, 8, both of Vandergrift.
"This one says 'Sour Sausages'," Wiser said. "It took us like an hour to think of that one."
With that kind of home field support, the pierogie team hustled from right field to left field as fans stood up and cheered. In the end, the pierogies easily took the coveted prize in the "Great Pierogie/Sausage Challenge" -- the Golden Skillet trophy.
Fans celebrated to the sounds of Queen's "We Are the Champions" and a brief fireworks display.
"She was just telling me that was the greatest relay race we
ever saw," said Gigi Trask, of
From the start, the pierogies were ready for the race.
"We were prepared for the race," said Rick Orienza, director of promotions for the Pirates. "They were prepared and focused. We have a lot of heart and we just wanted it. I think home field advantage also helped. [The sausages] had a long road trip."
The sausages will have the opportunity to avenge themselves in
a rematch next Friday in
Simon, who gained national notoriety after whacking one of the
sausages last month in
Simon was fined $432 by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's office for a disorderly conduct violation. He was also fined $2,000 by Major League Baseball and served a three-game suspension.
But at least for one night, Pirates fans were happy, and not just because the Pirates beat the Brewers.
"I think the pierogies deserved to win," Cassie Thompson said, "because they taste better."
At
World Cup For Homeless, Winning Is Just Part Of The Goal

Organizers hope the tournament can spark positive changes in the players' lives
-- and in society's perception of them.
"It's about people who are homeless realizing they have potential," said
organizer Mel Young, president of the International Network of Street Papers.
"It's about inclusion -- including homeless people in society. We are always
looking for new ways of including homeless people."
One player, Marcus Stevenson, a 23-year-old center-right midfielder on the
English team, recently began sharing an apartment in
"It's just helped me a lot," Stevenson said about the Homeless Soccer World Cup.
"It gave me motivation. I realized that if I could get up and go to training, I
could get up and get a job or go to school."
The weeklong street soccer tournament is being played on two squares in central
The small courts make for quick, intensive play, making ball control important.
That could mean a disadvantage for the all-
But coach Stephanie Quinn, 28, said the team still had good chances to advance
to the placement round.
"It'll be tough," she conceded. The
No matter the result, though, the participation has changed many team members'
lives. All players are now in the process of getting housing, she said.
"It teaches them that if they work hard for something, they will achieve
something positive," she said.
The tournament is also about changing society's perception of the homeless.
"People don't really think homeless people are human beings and need things like
this, and I disagree," Quinn said.
For the moment, 18-year-old Triton McEwan is staying with his sister in
"My mother was a single mother. We got evicted and we went our separate ways,"
he said. "I was 16."

Their team voted to send them home because they broke rules, said Emil Sernbo,
the editor of Faktum, the Gothenburg-based homeless newspaper sponsoring the
Swedish team.
"The pressure was too large, and these three weren't able to take it," he said.
The team had seven remaining players, and regardless of the tournament outcome,
all were winners, Sernbo said.
"For me, it's a gigantic win just to be here," he said.
The tournament was organized by Young's network of newspapers, the Austrian
branch of the charity Caritas, and a
"The most important thing is getting the psychology of the people right," Young
said. "So much of it is a mental issue, and playing football helps people
overcome these barriers in themselves. They know they can do something. It's a
holistic approach."
Although Young hopes the tournament will become an annual event, he hopes he
won't see the same players next year.
"I would expect most of the players to have moved on," he said.

Homeless Players Find Joy
On Soccer Field

It's a long way from the desperate struggle for survival he'd gotten used to
over eight years of on-and-off homelessness in

"It's going to give me new confidence to look for some new things," he said.
His teammate, German Santiago, 40, said soccer had also helped him realize his
potential.
"This is like therapy. It helps you relax," he said. "Sometimes you think better
when you're relaxed."
"When you have been so down and people see you going up little by little and you
stay on the top, they want to know how you do it,"
During training earlier Tuesday, the team sharpened strategy and polished its
penalty kicks.
The team's only loss came against
The Americans also sometimes lost focus on the game while celebrating a goal.
"You were moving around, celebrating,"
First-round matches last 14 minutes, but can be shortened to 10 if one teams
wants it.
Besides strategy discussions -- including tips on staying in a triangle, not a
straight line -- practice also included advice of a different kind.
"If you drop the cigarettes, you won't be so tired," coach Stephanie Quinn
reiterated to her players.
Still, Osvaldo Lebron, 38, couldn't help but smoke even during practice.
Cigarette in hand, he leisurely dribbled the ball toward the goal and placed the
ball in the right corner, out of the goalkeeper's reach.
The practice ended on a bad note, with tempers flaring as Quinn pointed out that

they're staying.
"A team that gets along pleasantly usually doesn't win," said goalie Harris
Pankin, 42.

Like most of his teammates, he's not planning to play again, even if the cup
becomes a yearly event as organizers hope.
Players must be homeless to be eligible, notes Levine. "I'm planning to get a

Organizers of Homeless
World Cup Hope Soccer Can Change Lives
The Associated Press
Slowly, his teammates trickle in. First is James Burch, a 40-year-old who began
wandering the country after his divorce. Then come Rory Levine, a former courier
who lost his job after Sept. 11, and Jeff Rubin, a one-time train operator who
says tragedy changed his life.
There are others, too -- men who have little in common apart from their rough
backgrounds and the fact that they are (or recently have been) homeless.
Since winter, they've been part of an unusual program that uses soccer to try to
inspire the homeless to turn their lives around. For those who stay with the
team, there will be an extraordinary payoff: A trip to
Some 18 teams from around the world, from
"They start playing (soccer), get used to some discipline and start showing up
for practice," tournament organizer Bernhard Wolf said in a telephone interview
from Austria. "And then it goes on to job training and housing."
An advocate for the homeless, Wolf first proposed the idea in 2001 at a meeting
of the International Network of Street Newspapers, an organization of
publications aimed at -- and sold by -- homeless people. Wolf went on to raise
$250,000 to host the event.
Ron Grunberg, editor of a
From the beginning, Grunberg says, it was difficult getting players to show up
for more than a few practices at a time. "With homeless people, there's not much
in the way of organization or ability to stay in touch," he says. "No phone
numbers, no addresses that are fixed."
Then there's the uncertainty of street life. One player was beaten so badly he
had to be hospitalized. Another, recovering from cocaine and heroin addiction,
had to return to rehab.
Another stumbling block was Americans' notorious indifference to soccer, which
made it difficult for Grunberg to find skilled players. (
Pankin, the team's goalie, has been one of the most dedicated players, rarely
missing a practice. He says he was lead singer of a punk band until he was
evicted from his apartment three years ago. Now he sells books on the street and
spends most nights in a
Pankin is known for his in-your-face attitude. Grunberg calls him "Punk-Rock
Spirit" for his tendency to tussle with other players. "I have a bad temper,"
Pankin acknowledges. "It's mostly because I'm a perfectionist. I get more upset
with myself than with the other players."
Of all his teammates, Jeff Rubin, 52, tells one of the more dramatic personal
stories. While working as a train operator, Rubin says, he saw a young woman
leap onto the tracks in front of him, killing herself. The event scarred him so
much, he says, that he eventually left his job, his girlfriend and their
children.
Rubin, who shed a pot belly over months of practice, was slated to go to
For other players, there have been similar complications. One, a felon, couldn't
get a passport until his lawyer intervened. Another has a drinking problem. His
counselor was worried he would relapse while abroad until Grunberg promised to
keep close watch over him.
Stressful as the setbacks have been, there was an infectious spirit of
anticipation at a recent practice.
The coach, a likable woman in her late 20s named Stephanie Quinn, has never led
a team before but took on the role for her friend, Grunberg.
The rules she's teaching are different from those of standard soccer. In
At practice, Quinn shows a firm-yet-friendly rapport with her players, blowing a
whistle and shouting words of encouragement as the team scrimmages. "You should
be anticipating where the ball's coming from," she calls out. "Keep your eyes up
so you can see where everybody is."
What's most striking is the camaraderie between the players, who have little if
any contact with each other outside of practice. When one team member chases an
errant pass and falls, another helps him up and tells him to be careful. When
someone scores a goal, there are high-fives all around.
"A lot of homeless people, because of the lives they lead, don't get to form
friendships and trust," Quinn says. "The person next to them might have a drug
problem, or steal everything they have. So to see them joking around and having
to rely on each other is cool."
She pauses for a moment, intent on an unfolding play. Someone kicks the ball,
and it sails through the air, smacking Pankin in the face. It stuns him, but he
springs back into play, and the team erupts into laughter.
"Be easy on him, we need him!" Quinn shouts, laughing with them.
The team's primay expenses are airfare and passport fees; room, board and
competition expenses are covered by the tournament organizers.
To pay for plane tickets, the team has relied on private donations and money
from fund-raising events, as well as grants from the U.S. Embassy in
The project, of course, begs a question: Wouldn't the effort and money be better
spent on more traditional services -- funding for shelters or food programs, for
example?
"Look, this is all extra for us," Grunberg responds, saying his regular work for
the homeless continues. "We're doing our regular jobs, too. We're working extra
hours, nights, Sundays, so on. This is just another form of outreach."
Organizers say soccer hooks homeless people because it doesn't involve paperwork
and office visits -- the stuff of traditional social services.
"It's a fun, familiar environment; there's a low barrier to participation," says
Will Balakrishnan of Street League, the charity organizing the English team.
Balakrishnan says one of the English players, a young man named Darren, uses his
team as a kind of group therapy to keep off drugs. "Even after he left his
formal recovery program, he had the team to provide once-a-week support,"
Balakrishnan says in a telephone interview.
Not everyone responds so well. Pankin says applying for low-income housing is "a
lot of hassle" and says he's hoping "some rich landlord" will hear about the
team and give them a place to live.
But whatever their individual futures hold, for now the players are committed to
practicing and winning -- and that in itself is a valuable experience, Quinn
says.
"If you show up at a job, even if you don't feel like going, it will get you
someplace," she says. "That's my biggest thing to teach them."
