Barber brush drive to help US troops One in an occasional series

2007-02-08T02:22:00.000-08:00

LAKEWOOD RANCH - Tom Streck saw a photo of crossed red swords against a blue background at a Lakewood Ranch barber shop and did a double take. He recognized it as the emblem of the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division light cavalry at Fort Drum, N.Y., an emblem worn by his father and cousin. When he asked Lynn Rainwater, owner of the Barbary Shoppe, about the emblem, he learned that her son-in-law is serving with the 10th in Iraq. "He says nothing flicks sand out of his firearm better than a boar's hair shaving brush," Rainwater told Streck. "We're sending brushes and a card to all soldiers in the 10th in Iraq for every $5 donation," Rainwater said. Streck immediately threw $10 on the counter. He also wrote notes to go with the brushes to two soldiers he has never met.

Not as dumb as the hairstyle

2007-01-21T02:27:00.000-08:00

If it were still 1997 (and if frosted hair had ever been cool), then Frosted Tipz might be the best name for a band. Having played their first show at a roller rink, Edmonton's Frosted Tipz deserve a bit of leeway, even though the '90s are long gone. "We're not particularly fond of it anymore," laments bassist Allan Hiodebrandt. "It was more of a joke at the time--we take what we do seriously--but we try not to be that serious." Since that fateful night at the roller rink two years ago, Frosted Tipz have made their mark in the Edmonton music scene, releasing their debut EP Heads vs. Hips last summer and planning a full-length for later this year. While the EP presented danceable tunes, fans may be surprised by a full-length saturated with rock and metal influences.

Feel the hair, then style them,

2007-01-19T02:29:00.000-08:00

Ludhiana, January 16: Nothing less than a star himself. That's the welcome well-known hair stylist Javed Habib today got from students in Ludhiana, who thronged him for autographs. The hairstylist was in town to attend a seminar where he urged students "feel the hair before cutting them; you will know the kind of cut you must give". Speaking to an enraptured audience, Javed said that hair-cutting is no longer just a 'nai kaa kaam'. It is a science, he stressed. "I am not here to talk about the usual cuts and hair colours. I am talking about a whole stream of science where the hairstylist is the doctor. Make sure you go to the best 'doctor' in town and let him handle your hair. He will see the kind of cut, the colour you need." .

Barber gets state to tweak rules

2007-01-09T02:33:00.000-08:00

Canal Fulton- He hangs out at the local barbershop entertaining customers, watching Clint Eastwood movies and dozing on a couch. Franklin, a 4-year-old basset hound, may be the biggest celebrity in this historic community on the Ohio and Erie Canal. But all he craves is someone to rub his ears and feed him treats. The sad-eyed dog gained local notoriety last year when he was ordered out of the one-chair business by a state inspector because State Barber Board rules prohibited animals, except service dogs, in barbershops. But after intervention by owner Matt Schwendiman and his state representative, the board became the first in the nation to allow animals in barbershops if owners meet strict stipulations. Franklin returned to a hero's welcome last month.

Longview barber gives free haircuts to homeless men

2006-12-28T02:31:00.000-08:00

John Sal tried to cut his own hair just once in his life. It didn't take him long to see that he'd made a mistake. "I only did a couple cuts, and I realized I was doing a bad job," Sal said, grinning as Terrell Mayhall clipped away at the back of his head. Sal was one of about 25 people who went to Terrell's Barber Shop on Monday to get a free trim. Giving haircuts to homeless people on Christmas Day is something that Mayhall has been doing for the past 12 years, in addition to cutting hair year-round for folks at New Gate, The Salvation Army and Hiway 80 Rescue missions. Sal came with his friend, Charles Moe, after chatting with guys at Hiway 80 who already had paid a visit to Terrell's Barber Shop. "They were looking pretty spiffy, and I wanted to know where they got their hair cut," Sal said.

Don't Judge a Man By His Hairstyle

2006-12-17T02:30:00.000-08:00

There's dozens of hairstyles that Black men and women enjoy. The general consensus about Black a man who wears his hair pressed and curl or uses a hair relaxer to straighten his locks is that he's struck in the stone age, he's ashamed to be Black, or he has ‘Super Fly' fantasies. Case in point, Reverend Al Sharpton in his expensive three-piece suits. I don't think he as fantasies of Super Fly; Jesus Christ perhaps but not Super Fly. After all he is a Christian minister and all Christians are supposed to be Christ-like. Right? Mr. Sharpton has put his life and welfare on the line for Black causes, on more occasions that a busload of dreadlock, Africa clothes wearing, rhetoric expounding so-called community leaders. He's a real brother, either you like his politics or not. Look at the way world famous boxing promoter and ex-convict Don King wears his hair.

Manning, Barber put Giants back in hunt for playoff spot

2006-12-13T02:33:00.000-08:00

A week ago, controversy swirled in the New York Giants locker room. Fire Tom Coughlin. Fire John Hufnagel. Trade the team. After Sunday's 27-13 win over the Carolina Panthers, some of the players were talking about happier things again. "If we get on a run and go into the playoffs hot, no one can beat us, even if we're a wild card," kicker Jay Feely said after booting two field goals and knocking two kickoffs into the end zone while playing with a fractured kicking foot. Philadelphia, likewise 7-6 after a 21-19 win over Washington, comes up next with just as much playoff motivation as the Giants. And there are two tough games remaining against New Orleans and Washington after that. The Giants' team-oriented but not dominating victory over the 6-7 Panthers didn't guarantee them of any postseason standing, but it took some heat off for a week.

Barber shop banter is peek into man's mind

2006-11-27T02:37:00.000-08:00

GOT QUESTIONS - NEED ANSWERS? Look no further than your local barber shop for unique quips and straight talk. That was my thinking as I entered the Frontier Barber Shop on Wednesday, on the eve of Thanksgiving. It was a den of testosterone and blank stares that greeted me upon entering this man cave adorned with donated memorabilia on the walls from thoughtful benefactors over the past 30-something years. After introductions and explanations, it still appeared the men waiting for haircuts were reluctant to share their names with a reporter, let alone spout feelings related to traditional turkey day celebrating. Fred Barraco, the owner and chief barber for 25 years, flashed a warm smile and offered a bit of coaxing to the guys waiting for new 'dos.

Irvin Calls Giants Barber a Quitter

2006-10-26T03:21:00.000-07:00

It's been highly publicized that Giants running back Tiki Barber plans to retire at the end of the season, whether the Giants go 0 and 10 or win the Super Bowl. Most fans and members of the media share in the opinion that it's Tiki's decision to make and that if he feels it's time, well, it's time. That may not be the case with ESPN analyst and former Cowboy Michael Irvin. During last night's broadcast of Monday Night Football Irvin indicated that he thought of Barber as a quitter and went on to say that he considered Barber's status as a team leader to be diminished, if not null and void. Of course, Barber answered the criticism only with his play, as he carried the ball 27 times for 114 yards against Irvin's beloved Cowboys. As an analyst, Irvin is entitled to broadcast his opinion to the masses, even when it's completely off base, which it was in this case.

The 34-year-old actress arrived at the launch party for boyfriend Justin Timberlake's new album, in Los Angeles, on Tuesday (19.09.06) sporting dark brown locks and long hair extensions. The 'Something About Mary' star, famed for her blonde hair, originally shocked the showbiz world when she dyed her tassels brown a week ago. A partygoer told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "She was totally unrecognisable. The blonde hair was her trademark but all the men in the room couldn't take their eyes off her." Justin, 25, allegedly offended Cameron last week by suggesting she was copying his ex, Britney Spears, by going brunette. The 'SexyBack' singer reportedly commented that since Britney dyed her hair brown, it has come back into fashion, infuriating his current lover. .

BARBER IN RUSH FOR BALANCE

2006-10-08T03:16:00.000-07:00

In three games, the Giants have attempted 113 passes and run the ball 69 times, meaning they have passed the ball on 62 percent of their offensive plays. Last season, the Giants passed 54 percent of the time, a more-desirable percentage for a team that wants to be balanced. This passing increase is not by design. "That imbalance is an indication of something being wrong," Tiki Barber said. It's an indication that the Giants have been forced to play catch-up, trailing early in every game. "You get in a situation in a game that's being dictated to you by coming from behind, it's not easy to just not try to accommodate the score," coach Tom Coughlin said. "The reason we're out of whack is we've been out of balance with the score. We know what formula is and hopefully we can get back to Giant football." That's a goal for the Giants today against the Redskins.

30% of schools still restrict their students' hairstyle: MOE

2006-09-24T03:22:00.000-07:00

Thirty percent of high schools in Taiwan still maintain restrictions on students' hairstyle despite the Ministry of Education's (MOE) announcement a year ago that such restrictions were to be lifted completely, according to tallies released Friday by the ministry. Traditionally, high schools in Taiwan have prohibited students from having long hair, with boys required to keep the length of their hair no longer than 3 cm from the scalp and girls no longer than 1 cm below the earlobe. Also, students were not allowed to perm or dye their hair, or use hair gel. Ko Huei-chen, an official of the MOE's Student Affairs Committee, said that before the ministry made the announcement, only 48 junior high schools and 25 senior high schools had no restrictions on students' hairdos. However, more schools have lifted these restrictions over the past year, Ko said.

Theres no doubt that when NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series driver Michael Waltrip is talked about, his luxurious locks of hair often penetrate the conversation. When the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series ascends on California Speedway this weekend, everyone will be talking about Waltrips new hairstyle that Blow Out star and celebrity hairstylist Jonathan Antin created in his West Hollywood salon in preparation for the SONY HD 500 this weekend at California Speedway. I wanted to give Jonathan enough hair to work with an artist needs a full palette to work with, said Waltrip of his nearly chin length hair.

Hair fell to the ground while the two talked about everything from racing for pinks to Waltrips impressive two Daytona 500 victories.

Patricia Barber

Brainy, cool Chicago jazz pianist/singer/songwriter Barber won a Guggenheim Fellowship for this song cycle based on Ovid's Metamorphoses — the first ever awarded to a songwriter. But you have to wonder whether the literary allusion isn't what Hitchcock would have called a MacGuffin — the “thing the spies are after and the audience doesn't care." Whatever Barber's after, she's written some of her best songs. Is “Moon" about the gods or a lover's fantasy of empowerment? Is “Hunger" about Narcissus, eating disorders, or the social condition (“In Scythia, where the pickings are slim/I'm gorgeous and grateful it's ‘in' to be thin")? And “Whiteworld" gives us Oedipus, but in contemporary guise (“To name is to own/to market is to steal/I'm a gangster in a Hummer/& this culture will yield to me"). Lover's laments like “Morpheus" and “Pygmalion" could become ballad standards as other players discover their inner harmonies, the sturdiness of their structures, the poetry of their lyrics.

Judie: Style Matters is not just a pair of pretty faces. (See photo at right) Occasionally, we don our reporter's chapeaux and investigate the newest beauty products. Evelinda: Like, say, pepper spray. Years ago, I got into the habit of carrying pepper spray when jogging at 5 a.m. Judie: Yeah, right! I don't know which part I don't believe more, the getting up early or the jogging. I have never seen you move fast, unless it's when a store holds an unadvertised special. Evelinda: Whatever. I still carry pepper spray, but now in a new stylish container called Pepperface.com Edition Palm Defender. The company claims it's the world's smallest aerosol pepper spray and is "an everyday fashion accessory designed to improve quality of life. For $35, you get a pretty purple 1.8-ounce container, with $1 going toward domestic violence programs." Judie: I can go to an Army and Navy surplus store and get pepper spray for $8.99 and have enough money left over for some cute camouflage pants.
