Short bangs are a great way to get an edgier look and draw more attention to your eyes. Ready for a new look, but don't want to touch your length or change your hair color? Bangs may just be a little part of a hairstyle, but they definitely make a noticeable change!
Here are the best short baby bangs hairstyles and haircuts for your inspiration:
Super Short Bangs
Baby bangs are surely the trendiest this season, as people are discovering the many ways on how to style a short fringe. Perfectly suitable for oval faces and any haircut as long as you're confident enough to make a unique statement.
Short Bangs for a Round Face
This edgy short haircut complemented by those choppy short baby bangs look absolutely perfect on short and round faces. Though this ashy grey color needs high upkeep, the cut makes this whole look easier to maintain and style.
Curly Bob with Short Bangs
Curly short bangs are always an oh-so-chic look that makes everyone wanna own natural curls. Heavily textured bobs are ideal for long faces to give the illusion of width.
Rockabilly Short Bangs
Rocking this fine short Bettie Bangs would be the coolest thing you'll do especially if you have a round face. The rest of your hair is also important to complete the look – a simple straight bob would do for this modern style.
Fun Shaggy Hair with Short Bangs
There are so many different shapes and densities of short bangs that could be combined with any number of styles! These are just a handful of options — the possibilities are endless. Have fun mixing, matching, and creating your own look!
Q&A with style creator, Annelisa Vanlenten
Colorist / Stylist @ Salon Trace in Delray Beach, FL
How would you describe this look?
This look is sassy, fun, and effortless. I love a blunt bob because it gives thickness and volume to finer hair, and by adding a fun fringe it can dress up any look!
I love making fashion colors look almost natural, and pink is a great color for low maintenance because it fades out beautifully! This curl you see was actually achieved by a beach waver! So much faster and more natural looking, texture is everything! Especially for summer!
Any advice for someone considering it?
Bangs are a commitment! You need to know you might have to style them every day and yes that includes blow drying them.
If you have a bigger forehead I recommend more tousled bangs to create softness around the face, and for the smaller forehead, I recommend cute baby bangs or more defined bangs so they don't take over your face and overall look!
If you're thinking of a fashion color but a bit scared to go to the color side, I say try a pastel! Pastel colors are soft and fade oh so beautifully!
Inverted Bob with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Angela
Hairstylist @ Cherry Bomb Hair in Melbourne, AU
How would you describe this look?
This hairstyle is an angled bob with a straight blunt short fringe. This look is ideal for people who like to make a statement with their hair.
A straight fringe is also great to bring out the angles in your face, as it defines your jawline and cheekbones.
They can frame your face perfectly, and if you are after a change of face shape they are the best to go for.
I am in love with this amazing dark blue color. This was a combination between shocking blue and raven from the color range Manic Panic. Using two colors in the mix will give you that dimension, and it can change shades depending on the lighting!
Any advice for someone considering it?
For upkeep at home I would suggest to blow dry it straight with the products that you like the best for your hair type. If you have finer hair, use a booster/thickening spray, and if you have unruly hair you can use a smoothing lotion or a spray.
After the blowdry you can use a flat iron to smooth the ends and tuck them in a bit. Use low heat for color safety and always use a heat protection spray if you use your iron. You can easily take 3 days out of this styling. This is great for people who have early starts and have minimal hair time in the morning.
To keep your color up to date and have minimal fading, the best advise is to use minimal shampoo! Wash your hair once a week and in between you can just rinse it or use a dry shampoo. With vivid coloring it is always the best to aim a shade darker than your desired color, as it wash out a lot at first shampoo. This is especially important for all the popular pastel shades at the moment.
Stacked Bob with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Isaiah Rodriguez
Stylist @ Salon Ink in San Diego, CA
How would you describe this look?
It's a very chic and classic look but can be played up as a little edgy with some styling if you'd like, and I think that is definitely my favorite part about it.
Any advice for someone considering it?
You should be prepared to style. These short bangs are definitely not for someone who is low maintenance, and it is hard to achieve this look if you naturally have very coarse hair.
Pixie with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Gary Novit
Senior Stylist @ Sassoon Chicago Salon in Chicago, IL
How would you describe this look?
This short, tousled cut with short baby bangs is modern, feminine, and so easy to style. I particularly like the graduated, rounded shape with the short chunky bangs. It is a flattering look for any face shape because of its extra volume, and the bangs don't completely cover the forehead.
Any advice for someone considering it?
For someone with an active lifestyle who's considering growing out a shorter cropped cut, or conversely, for someone considering cutting their hair shorter, this is a perfect choice for an easy to manage look.
It's suitable for both curly or straighter hair. On curly hair, apply a curl cream and let it air dry naturally or diffuse dry. On straighter hair, tousle dry and use a pomade or paste for texture.
Short Hair with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Michelle Yan
Stylist @ Volume Salons in Edmonton, AB
How would you describe this look?
What's bolder than Bettie bangs (aka short baby bangs) and silver locks? We kept the bob textured with a very subtle angle at the front to frame her face and transformed her color into the most beautiful icy silver.
My absolute favorite thing about this hairstyle has to be how unique and edgy it is. It takes true confidence and style to rock something so fashion forward, she'll definitely keep heads turning
Any advice for someone considering it?
Styling is a must for this hairstyle which is easy but necessary! An effective heat protectant goes a long way as the fringe and ends should be flat ironed in the morning. Followed by a texture spray to lift the hair by the root and finished with a hair oil for the beautiful shine!
Things to consider before committing to this style would be the length of the fringe – Bettie bangs are short. They are very fashion forward but only suitable for those who have a small forehead or for those who don't mind having their fringe above their brows.
The other biggest thing would be the maintenance of the color. Silver is still one of the biggest trends in the world – beautiful, desired, and elegant but it doesn't come easy. Lifting the hair light enough to achieve silver is a task in itself. There are also some at home hair care to keep in mind, as silver is one of the fastest colors to fade.
For example, keeping up with a pigmented purple shampoo as well as limiting the number of times you wash your hair a week are little tips to keep the color more long-lasting.
Vintage Bob with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Sarah Rivers
Hairstylist @ Redbloom Salon in Calgary, AB
How would you describe this look?
This look is a vintage take on a modern bob with short bangs, inspired from Hollywood's golden age. I love the shorter fringe, as well as the 30/40's feel about it.
Any advice for someone considering it?
If you're considering going shorter or wanting a shorter fringe, styling is key! I would recommend using a flat iron for a smoother look, as well as blow-drying with a paddle brush, back and forth to really get the hair straight!
If you have natural waves or curls, enhance it with a diffuser or adding in a curl enhancing product.
With the classic "bob" haircut you can have different variations of length. If you're wanting to put your hair up after the gym or at work I would recommend having the bottom of the cut sit at about shoulder length or longer. Layers can also come to play as well, just make sure they're not too short!
My go-to products for this slick look is Aveda's smooth infusion line. These two products have plant-derived fibers that attach to the hair, which helps the hair have a longer smoother style while fighting off frizz! (style prep smoother, glossing straightener) 1) apply the style prep first 2) add in the glossing straightener then blow dry!
Rose Gold Long Hair with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Anastasia Mercado
Balayage & Color Specialist @ Hairllucination in Los Angeles, CA
How would you describe this look?
I would describe this look as a soft rocker. I love that she's going to wake up every morning and not have to do anything to look put together! Her micro bangs sits perfectly on her face and accentuates her long, rose gold layers!
Any advice for someone considering it?
I think the most important thing to consider with a fringe is the natural hair texture and the amount of styling you want to put into it. If you have curls and want to hop on the fringe trend, it's important to discuss exactly what you want the end result to be and how much effort you're willing to put in to achieve that look with your stylist.
Little Hipster with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Abigail Bishop
Stylist @ Mitchell's Salon & Day Spa in Cincinnati, OH
How would you describe this look?
I would describe this short bangs hairstyle as fun, funky, modern, and maybe a little hipster. It all really just depends on what the rest of their style is. The hair takes on different looks depending on what you pair it with.
Any advice for someone considering it?
This look is not low maintenance. You will need to come into the salon often to get trims if you want the fringe to look purposeful and not just like you cut your bangs too high. It is a very harsh look to pull off and not everyone can do it. It all depends on face shape, hairline, and even personality.
Styling this look is super easy and doesn't take long at all. Honestly, all you really need is a primer (or water) and to hit the bangs with the blow dryer. That's it!
Statement Short Fringe
Q&A with style creator, Schielah Magnolia
Senior Stylist / Colorist @ Headdress Salon in New York, NY
How would you describe this look?
I would describe this look as lived-in with a statement short fringe. My favorite thing about it is how she can pull her hair back and have an instant style without any effort. Her fringe does it all for her.
Any advice for someone considering it?
I recommend this look to someone with a coarse to medium texture because you have a bit more to play with in terms of giving a choppy razored vibe.
I styled it with a matte texture paste in order to piece it out and define the choppy bits. It's perfect for someone who has time to come in for regular bang trims or they can try it once and have fun with the growout phase.
Curly Hair with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Ginger Farnham
Stylist @ Parlour Salon in Washington, DC
How would you describe this look?
This look is like a curly hybrid of a bob and a shag. I guess you could call it a "shob" short bangs haircut.
My favorite thing about it is its versatility. The hair could be worn straight and sleek, straight with a texturizing product, or curly and free. My client also adds accessories like a headband or barrettes.
Any advice for someone considering it?
When considering a cut like this, the greatest thing to take into account is the curve of the hair and the neck. A graceful long neck is most flattering for this cut. Medium to fine textured hair with a loose to medium curl is the ideal hair type for this style.
The stylist must also be attuned to the way the hair lives and falls on the head in order to create a look that doesn't require much work for the client (being mindful of growth patterns and cowlicks). Regarding lifestyle, this is a great cut for anyone that doesn't want to fuss with their hair much. The look can work with a little sea salt spray or gel and can be either air dried or diffused for added volume.
Textured Edgy Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Sasha Ivanovsky
Hairstylist @ The Hive Salon in Minneapolis, MN
How would you describe this look?
This haircut with short bangs is a celebration of my client's texture. She wanted something a little more edgy and short without taking too much length off because she loves her curls.
My favorite part of this cut is the way her waves create so much movement and volume in the hair. I also really love the bangs because they are so versatile and they frame her face to bring out her cheekbones and draw attention to her beautiful eyes.
Any advice for someone considering it?
My advice to a client who is interested in this look is to think about what length you want each side to be! The choice of length can make a huge difference in how the overall hair will look. This is a great look if someone has waves or curls to their hair and can work on all face shapes.
It is a very low maintenance cut when it comes to styling, all you need is a nice gel to set the waves and comb the bangs in place. You can also blow dry it into a wild voluminous style and use a paste or pomade to create texture. If you have straight hair, the second option of styling would be the best way to style this cut.
Overall, this cut has a lot of versatility to it and I'm sure it can work for anyone who wants to spice up their haircut!
Casual Mirco Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Lauren Steele
Hairstylist @ Salon Haze in Regina, SK
How would you describe this look?
I would describe this hairstyle with short bangs as casual editorial. The cut itself has a more blunt line to go with the baby bang, but with soft layering to take unnecessary weight out of the hair.
I call it casual editorial because its effortless look with the striking detail of a baby bang makes you want to take a double take. That is probably what is my favorite thing about this look. It is perfect to any fashionista!
Any advice for someone considering it?
Baby bangs are a lifestyle, not an trend. You are committed! I recommend visiting your stylist regularly to keep your fringe sharp.
I personally can't pull this off. My hairline doesn't grow down and the hair splits no matter how much product and praying I do. I do have a clip-on bang for when I really want the look. If you have a similar problem, don't bother. Growing bangs and constantly having an awkward stage will put you in a mood for a long time. Not worth it.
Flirty Long Layers with Choppy Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Nicole White
Master Stylist @ David Alexander Salon in Annapolis, MD
How would you describe this look?
This look as sexy, flowing layers with a flirty and fun short fringe.
I love how having a strong bang can totally change your entire look. The added bonus is that it transforms a basic, boring topknot into a super chic and trendy style. Getting bangs that go with your face shape can be like an instant facelift!
Any advice for someone considering it?
Clients seeking a strong fringe need to be prepared to train them to lie properly. Some people's hair is very cooperative and others may need to spend a little more time blow drying them into place. Using a light pomade and piecing the hair a bit can make for an edgier look while a mineral finishing spray (I like Next Day Hair by L'Oreal Professional) can keep them in place, but with a softer, matte finish.
Consider this look if you're prepared to visit the salon about every three to five weeks for a quick snip. As the bangs grow out, they can easily be shaped into a heavier side bang. Bangs can be customized for all face shapes, but I personally suggest that those with round faces steer clear of the super short baby fringe trend and try something a bit longer and more cheekbone-grazing.
Avant-Garde Green Hair with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Salem Renner
Stylist @ Bishops on Mississippi in Portland, OR
How would you describe this look?
This haircut the intersection of practicality and Avant-Garde. Spring comes to mind. My client came in with the request of one last "new look" before moving to Japan. Finding a new stylist after an international move sounds like a nightmare, right? That's why I decided to take those short bangs way up, into a half moon shape, then textured them to ensure a graceful growout during the transition. No more DIY bangs at home!
My favorite part of this look is its chameleon potential to transform into lighter colors and cohesive cuts during the growout. The greens will fade to pastels over time, while our "grown out Mohawk meets Chelsea" allows my client to have options once she gets settled abroad.
Any advice for someone considering it?
My motto is to let your hair work for you, not the other way around! Consider your natural texture and cow-licked areas to determine how short your bangs can be.
A texturizer such as KMS's Dry Wax or Schwarzkopf's Powder Cloud will give you definition without weighing your hair down. Bedhead's Rockaholic dry shampoo has not only been my favorite for years, but it is a miracle for second-day hair.
As far as color goes, make sure that your stylist is using a semi-permanent color (like Pulp Riot) that they can change easily. The rules that I have my clients with vibrant hair color follow save them money and keep their hues fresh for months!
Rule #1: Invest in a salon brand color-protecting shampoo and conditioner
Rule #2: Use cool to lukewarm water ONLY when washing
Rule #3: Cover your hair if you are out in the sun an or extended time or use a UV protector. I like Schwarzkopf's Beauty Balm for my leave-in conditioner and heat/UV all in one.
The moral of the story is that life is too short to have boring hair. Take risks with a licensed professional and get to dreaming!
Galactic Fringe Cut
Q&A with style creator, Pedro Pimpão
Senior Stylist @ Mie Mani Salon in London, UK
How would you describe this look?
As a creative hairstylist, this is one of my favorite looks. I love to introduce this style to a lot of people who like to change and get some kind of tribal/futuristic looks! It's awesome how we can play with the lines and angles around the face and determine where we want to do the short side bangs.
Playing with the colors makes the style even cooler and more contemporary. The futuristic part inspired me to create this mix of galactic colors with different shades of blues and violets. I definitely recommend this look to whoever wants to get a bit more than just an ordinary fringe cut!
Any advice for someone considering it?
This look only works on straight hair. If your hair is wavy, you need to consider that you will have to straighten the hair every day to achieve this effect.
Adding lines and texture makes the fringe always look blunt and with movement! The best thing is that you can create thousands of shapes and angles to look better with your face shape.
If you want a look with strong personality, irreverent mood, and strong position, you should try this one!
Vampy V-Cut Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Dana Katz
Hairstylist @ House of J. Henry in Portland, ME
How would you describe this look?
I would describe this look as vampy. It's a bit risqué, even with its variation of length and texture around the face.
This is what I love about it! She's not hiding behind her hair. This cut with short bangs opens up her face, highlighting her eyes and cheekbones.
Any advice for someone considering it?
I think you need a bit of confidence to wear this haircut. Expect to turn some heads.
To create this look, I applied L'Oréal Professional Sleek and Swing to the mid-lengths and ends. Using a Denman brush, I flat wrapped the hair so there was minimum volume around the face.
Shag Hair with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Desiree Ammons
Hairstylist @ Under Your Hat Salon in San Francisco, CA
How would you describe this look?
This shag with a short fringe is everything! This look lets you keep your girly length while still keeping it punk rock around the edges. I love the combination of short and long.
Any advice for someone considering it?
All you need is a diffuser and some sea salt spray! Really anyone can rock this look. You can keep it soft around the edges for a business-friendly look, or funk it up for the creative job interview.
By allowing your hairdresser to cut the fringe and bits around your face, it's like a hair contour that instantly brings the client's eyes and cheekbones to perfection. Any texture can rock it. You will never know until you try!
Edgy Shoulder Length Hair with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Stephanie Craig
Senior Master Designer @ Mia Salon Spa in Montclair, CA
How would you describe this look and what is your favorite thing about it?
This look is edgy and moody. The shorter bangs and bold lip really make a statement. My favorite part is that this haircut works with her natural texture, making it very easy for her to recreate this look at home.
What products do you recommend to maintain and recreate this look?
I recommend using a few pumps of Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep Smoother through the lengths. Diffuse or air dry, then touch up curls with a curling wand. Finish with Aveda Texture Tonic and finger comb though the curls.
What type of client would you recommend this look for?
This look is ideal for for people who want to stand out. It requires minimal styling and works best with fine to medium hair that is wavy or straight.
Ear Length Bob with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Jun Park
Stylist @ Sassoon Toronto in Toronto, Ont, Canada
How would you describe this look and what is your favorite thing about it?
This haircut is round-shaped bob that is shorter in the front, longer in the back, has a reverse internal graduation shape, as well as a micro fringe
My favorite thing about this haircut is that although the round shape bob can easily look bowl-like, the short fringe and reverse internal shape give shaggier, edgier look.
What products do you recommend to maintain and recreate this look?
I recommend Texture Spray from Unite or Moroccanoil to achieve shaggier, textured finish. You can also use a little bit of cream or matte type wax to give sharper fringe look.
What type of client would you recommend this look for?
This haircut would be best suited for someone who has straight/slightly wavy hair with a medium to thinner texture.
The rounder bob shape is very unique, however it is relatively hard to pull off. I would recommend this haircut to someone with prominent cheekbones and pointy chin.
A choppy fringe beautifully opens up the face and gives freer and edgier look. if you are tired of long fringes that bother your eyes, a micro fringe will ease your mind!
Straight Blunt Bob with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Becky Cole
Hairdresser @ ESHK Hair in London, UK
How would you describe this look and what is your favorite thing about it?
I would call this look a straight across blunt short bob with bangs. This is where the fringe is rounded, and comes up higher at the temples.
My favorite thing about this style is the statement it makes with its sharp lines, but it also has a vintage glam feel with the rounded short fringe.
What products do you recommend to maintain and recreate this look?
A professional range shampoo and conditioner is always a must. I also recommend a shine serum for condition and a hairspray to keep everything in place. This look requires regular haircuts every six to seven weeks to keep the lines of the cut sharp.
What type of client would you recommend this look for?
This look is great for the client who wants something different and a little edgy, but not totally out there. Fine hair types do work best with this cut as the hair is smoother and easier to manage. Thick or curly hair would need a lot of work to maintain and would need straightening every day.
Shorter fringes can be done on most face shapes because the length can just be adjusted to suit.
Medium Length Hair with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Mary Rose Mindock
Hairstylist @ Model Citizen Salon in Athens, GA
How would you describe this look and what is your favorite thing about it?
I would describe this look as a vintage mid-length shag with bangs. My favorite thing about this look is the combination of textures and angles and how the fringe ties it all together.
What products do you recommend to maintain and recreate this look?
I am a huge fan of R+Co products. I recommend using the Cactus texturizing shampoo with no conditioner for extra volume and Badlands dry shampoo paste for the flawless texture and shape.
What type of client would you recommend this look for?
I recommend this style to any client that desires a low maintenance, chic vintage look. This look pairs extremely well with a badass leather jacket and shades.
Gorgeously Layered Hair with Short Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Jessy Jin
Hair Artist @ Pomp and Proper Salon in Vancouver, BC
How would you describe this look?
This was a very transitional cut and color. She is growing her natural hair color from a previous red color and almost halfway there. We decided not to do a big process of color-removing, so what we have been doing is baby lights and foilage to blend it better.
She is growing her hair too, but as everyone knows, growing hair out is the most painful process. That's why we decided to give her a cute, choppy short bang to make it more exciting! I added internal layering everywhere to give a choppy texture.
Any advice for someone considering it?
There is this awesome product from L'Oreal Professionnel called Savage Panache. It's a texturizing spray and my favorite product for giving airy texture. Put your fully dried hair upside down and spray Savage Panache globally. Put your head back and shake your hair and arrange however you like it to be. It will give the perfect airy texture that works great for an internal layered cut.
This cut and color grows effortlessly and really easy to wear wash-and-go with just little bit of texturizing spray!

Metro Nashville Public Schools will reopen its doors on Aug. 7 after the summer break, and Director of Schools Shawn Joseph and his 47-member transition team have planned extensive changes and improvements for new and returning students.
Upon agreeing to a four-year contract with MNPS in May of 2016, Joseph created the transition team as a means to examine the ways that the district could be improved for students, educators and parents. The transition team was formed in July 2016 and included local community leaders and national experts.
"By bringing both a local and national perspective to oversee the transition team, I feel confident this group will produce recommendations that reflect the best, most innovative practices in America's public-education sector, but custom-tailored to meet the unique needs of Nashville," Joseph said in a press release.
The team released a comprehensive report in November 2016 based on their research and examination of the opportunities and advancements of the district. The report included many recommendations for improvements from four subcommittees that focused on Student Achievement, School Choice, Talent Management, and Communication and Community Engagement.
"Several themes emerged out of this deep analytical work that we also saw emerge from the broad community input that we sought during my first 100 days," Joseph said. "What this tells me is that the community's desires are aligned with our student's needs."
The main themes that developed from the team's research are as follows: the strength of the people and the community to do the work; the benefit of equality and the challenge of achieving equity; the need for a clear district vision and unity of direction; and establishment of clear structures and processes to guide the system's work. With these themes in mind, the team's recommendations were developed, and the district began implementing the recommendations in May 2017.
According to the transition team's report, one of the promptings for recommendations was the significant "achievement gap" that was discovered between students of different racial, social and economic status.
"The district's one goal is to deliver a great public education to every student, every single day they walk in the classroom," Metro Public Schools Communication Specialist Amber Plunkett said. "There's significant work underway related to literacy and ensuring our students are reading at grade level by grade three, including new assessments that show growth progress and allow for educators to individualize instruction on a student-by-student basis."
Once district leaders reviewed the transition team's report, they released a strategic framework in 2017 to outline the strategies and procedures the schools will take in the coming years. One of the main strategies that the framework described for students in the district is increasing the relevance and rigor of the Pre-K-12 curriculum, which includes adding a multicultural and global relevance to instructional activities. Another important strategy for students mentioned in the framework is the implementation of the STEAM program.
"Middle school is a pivotal time in a child's education – a time when students need a high-quality, interdisciplinary education that sparks their curiosity and challenges their thinking," Plunkett said. "Just like any career a student will find after school, students need experiences that merge traditionally independent subject areas and skillsets, like math and science and art, into one comprehensive learning experience."
The STEAM curriculum, which stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and math, will be implemented this year in 18 middle schools in the district and will strive to provide an advanced learning experience on a day-to-day basis.
"Educators will break down the traditional subject-based classroom barriers and purposefully integrate all areas of STEAM curriculum into their classroom," Plunkett said. "Through a collaborative planning approach, educators will challenge students to think critically, be creative, communicate and collaborate with their peers while empowering them to better understand how their skills fit into our complex world."
MNPS also will promote a renewed focus on their English Learners program, which is designed to assist in the transition of students from foreign countries. The EL program, along with other initiatives in the strategic framework, will be additional attempts to bridge the achievement gap outlined in the transition team report.
"Our EL program will be supported by almost 30 new EL teachers," Plunkett said. "The district will pay for high school students to take applicable certification tests so they are career and college ready as soon as they graduate from a Metro School. It will be a big year for all MNPS students and employees. We're excited to embark on Dr. Joseph's second year in just a few short weeks."

What You Can Learn from Athletes
At the end of an athletic or sporting event featuring professional athletes, those that avail themselves for interviews often point to a common theme when discussing their path to success: it didn't come without blood, sweat and tears. Some athletes even say that a race was won during the months of training and practice. Indeed, what viewers see on the field is the culmination of hours of hard work.
We can learn a great deal from sports; lessons that are quite useful in almost every aspect of life.
Goal setting
You probably have heard about the importance of goal setting before. It bears repeating though: You require a clear plan of action in the form of short and long term goals to accomplish a dream. Goals give you an easy way to track progress.
Envision success
More to having goals is being able to envision success in your mind. Successful athletes take the time to picture success before they even get out on the field. Performing at a high level requires a great deal of mental strength, yet many overlook this.
Pick yourself up
Mistakes and errors are part of human life. Elite athletes acknowledge this fact and aspire to learn and move on from any mistakes. Don't dwell on past mistakes, as it will cloud your focus. The key to progressing is to pick yourself up, shake the dust off, and move on.
Leslie Griesdorf Dentist is a former successful dentist who has strived to live a healthy life through regular exercise. Since high school, he has exercised four times a week and engaged in martial arts (karate), earning a brown belt in the process.
Dining Etiquette
Proper dining etiquette is not obvious to many people. Knowledge of, at the very least, essentials of good etiquette are necessary to avoid any mistakes and attention that comes afterward. For many businesspeople, etiquette is required to make a good impression. Most of us require a refresher on occasion, which is covered below.
Making reservations
A restaurant reservation is like any appointment you make in the course of your personal or business life. Ask for reservations at a restaurant if you know you can make it. If you are going to be late, call ahead and let the restaurant know. Cancel the reservation as far in advance as you can to ensure that the reservation can be given to someone else.
At a restaurant, you are allowed to start only when everyone else at the table has been served. At a private party, wait until the host picks up their fork to eat. This is your cue to begin eating unless the host insists that you can go ahead without them.
It's a confusing topic, but the basic rule is you eat to left and drink to your right. Any food on your left is yours, as is any drink to the right. When using silverware, start with the silverware to the farthest of your plate.
General rules
Always arrive early, preferably ten minutes before the scheduled start, and follow the dress code specified. If you are attending a private party, bring a small gift for the hostess, something they will not be obliged to use during the event.
Since Leslie Griesdorf closed his private dentistry practice, he has taken to enjoying life through stock exchange investment and dining out with his family.
Looking for that Dentist
So you looking for a dentist and need some advice. The problem is you don't know where to start. A number of friendly suggestions truly help somebody answer these questions. Behind it all you must consider the situation at hand. If you are moving and you have a turn dentist they can often make a recommendation because at this have a pretty thorough network and awareness of who they would refer people to give them the chance. You can also ask people in your family, neighbors coworkers and so on for their recommendations. Another place to find information about a dentist is to talk to a local pharmacist or a family doctor. Finally every locality and state is likely to have a dental organization which are associated with the biggest of them all the ADA, also known as the American dental Association.
At this point is you have a handful of means there are some further things to consider when it comes to selecting the dentist who to visit. You need to consider the location, how easy it is to get to, what office hours they hold when it comes to convenience. Another thing to consider is information about dentist practice putting what type of arrangements are made for handling emergencies outside of business hour, what type of anesthesia the dentist is certified in using, whether they participate in your available health plan and a number of other questions. With this information you have a good starting point from which to find a dentist. Leslie Griesdorf Dentist retired from this industry after a long career and caring for many patients. He often shares his advice about finding a new dentist for people.
Staying Fit for Life
People of all walks of life are focusing on their health and wellness they are staying fit for life.

There's little you can do about your fitness yesterday, but there is a lot you can do about today and the future. He recommends that people not beat themselves down every time they train and suggests that individuals should be stimulating their body during training but with caution not to overdo it.
It is important to consider the role of recovery becomes more important as we age. Another aspect to keeping fit for life is to listen to your body. Sure, working your muscles to exhaustion or pass a certain limit is part of the great experience of conditioning, but when something is truly hurt or eggs for too long, it could be a sign of or a confirmation of an serious injury.
Unfortunately, there is a truth that the worst injuries are the ones that an individual is aware of, yet they have convinced themselves that they can work through it somehow. Those little injuries do not alert the alarms in a significant way and if the pain is tolerable, an individual may try to push past it. It is important to pay attention to your body and if you do commit to a regular schedule of healthy exercise you two can stay fit for life.

This presentation explores both curriculum design and students' critique and reflective practice upon that.
"Transforming Technologies: teaching and learning in the digital age" is a new university postgraduate award (Centre for Lifelong Learning, University of Warwick) designed for anyone involved in teaching and learning who would like to use technology more effectively. The award is part of the department's Gateway to Postgraduate study; an access route for those returning to learning who may wish to build up experience and credit towards Masters level study. So although the award has practical application, its position as a level 7 HE programme means it also contains a critical and theoretical element.
The structure of the award is thematic: students work through weekly topics (which include collaborative learning online, assistive technology, mobile learning and e-assessment) where they critically consider a range of learning technologies in relation to their own work settings, as teachers or trainers. However, the course also seeks to enable participants to reflect on their experiences as students on the course, as 'e-learners', and to analyse their digital presence and experience, bringing this to bear as a 'resource' throughout the programme.
There are several ways in which this award provides innovative opportunities to put students at the heart of programme, enabling them to both learn from and critique the curriculum itself, and become agents of change. Firstly, although the 10 week programme is mostly face-to-face provision, it also contains a three week problem-based 'mini MOOC', where students are required to define the issues themselves (Wheeler et al, 2005) and steer the themes collectively through a range of online tools and approaches. Secondly, each week the tutor fully shares a rationale, lesson plan and resources for each session, inviting critique and reflection from students, enabling a powerful student-tutor dialogue that ensures the curriculum evolves in a way that is desirable to the group. Finally, as part of their summative assessment, students are asked to submit a digital poster, with a view to this becoming a resource which is part of a wider repository of tools for staff at the University, promoting the notion of 'student as producer' and valuing students' contributions to a wider body of knowledge, something usually reserved for postgraduate researchers or those on more substantial programmes.
This presentation will argue the importance of curriculum design in e-learning, and also explore the issues and opportunities that arise from giving students more agency in a course VLE and in curriculum design decisions. Students' reflections and curriculum design examples will be explored in this presentation.

Living in Iowa, it's easy to be blasé about tornados, but 2011 has delivered a harsh reminder of how deadly they can be.
IIHR Research Engineer Emeritus Tatsuaki Nakato and his son Ken recently traveled to Joplin, Mo., after the devastating tornado that struck there on May 22. They were among the thousands of rescue workers and volunteers who have been working to help the citizens of this southwestern Missouri city of 50,000.
The EF5 tornado touched down near the center of Joplin in a densely populated area. It brought 200 mph winds and left more than 150 dead, making it the deadliest U.S. tornado since 1947. The twister destroyed 2,000 buildings in its four-mile path.
After the storm, Nakato says, he could see that Joplin would not stay down for long. "I saw a sign painted on the back of a pickup," he writes in an e-mail to friends and colleagues. "'Joplin may be FLAT, but we'll be back!'"
Nakato and his son pitched in with other volunteers to clean up hard-hit neighborhoods. Nakato noticed the sewer drains were completely clogged with debris. "As a civil engineer, I wanted to clean the area along the sidewalks so water can run into the sewer lines without blocking," Nakato says. Using a metal rake, he began work alone, clearing both sides of the street.
President Barack Obama visited Joplin that day, May 29, and his motorcade passed the area where Nakato and his son were working. The vehicles zipped by quickly and no one was able to catch a glimpse of the president. "I kept working on street cleaning by myself," Nakato writes. "Then suddenly the presidential motorcade came back on the same street. I saluted straight to one of those black SUVs. The president was sitting in the back of an SUV. He saw me saluting, and looked me in my eyes, and saluted back. What a moment it was! Eye-to-eye contact between the president of the United States and Tatsuaki Nakato — the moment will stay in my brain forever."
Nakato adds, "What an honor to clean one block of the street where the president drove through! I am glad to be a part of this event."
Nakato and his son spent a week in Joplin helping with the city's recovery. "They need all our help," Nakato says. He also worked in Parkersburg, Iowa, in the aftermath of the tornado that struck that small town in 2008, and in Phil Campbell, Ala., which was hit by a tornado in April of this year.Tags: Joplin, Parkersburg, Tatsuaki Nakato, tornadoes

Stepping away from the commodity dairy market, Alan and Jane Hewson resurrected a traditional regional cheese to create their own niche market. Aly Balsom finds out more.
In 2014, the star sprinter served them a selection of dishes made using cheese produced on their Midlands dairy farm as part of Channel 4's Jamie and Jimmy's Friday Night Feast.
The appearance proved a significant turning point for the couple, with orders for their Colwick cheese flooding in just hours after the programme went on air.
Alan says: "It went out on air on the Friday and we had 60,000 hits on the website the next day. We usually get a handful a week. We didn't really believe it and we got people ordering from one end of the country to the other. It completely overwhelmed us."
As part of the programme, TV chef Jamie and farmer Jimmy visited the Hewsons' Belvoir Ridge Creamery in Melton Mowbray, Nottinghamshire. Jamie then invited a number of local chefs to sample dishes using Colwick cheese to show them how local cheeses could be used in the region's restaurants.
The Hewsons' cheeses are now used by multiple farm shops and restaurants, predominantly in Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire.
Alan and Jane are the only producers of Colwick cheese in the country, having resurrected the 17th century recipes.
Described as a mild, soft cream cheese, it is similar to a Ricotta and, along with Stilton, is one of only a few cheeses produced in Nottinghamshire.
Making such a unique product is part of the couple's strategy to make more from less and is a completely different approach to the one used by the farm until 2000.
Until then, the farm had run a herd of 120 predominantly black and whites, yielding about 7,500 litres per cow per year, but the pair eventually became disillusioned with the Holsteins.
"The inputs were too high to maintain the black and whites and the milk price at the time wasn't good enough to sustain the inputs. You were on a hamster wheel trying to produce a lot of milk, but you weren't actually making any money."
In 2000, the herd was dispersed and the couple set up a farm shop with a butchery and bakery.
Here they sold home-grown vegetables, beef from their small suckler herd of Aberdeen-Angus, Herefords and Simmentals, and lamb from a flock of 30-40 mixed breed ewes.
But as a self-proclaimed 'cow man', Alan eventually felt the pull back to dairy farming.
At the same time, the couple realised they had to adopt a completely different model to be successful second time round.
"If you want to do dairy farming, you'll make it pay somehow. You have to be willing to change and you cannot just follow the line," says Alan.
The pair had always run a handful of traditional dairy breeds in the milking herd and retained three Blue Albion cows and a couple of Jerseys to produce milk for personal consumption after the Holstein dispersal.
As a result, their thoughts turned to the possibility of milking rare breed cattle as a unique selling point.
"I'm quite passionate we don't lose the milking genetics of traditional cattle," says Alan.
They subsequently bought 30 milking Red Polls and began milk production in 2005. The herd is now made up of 50 cows, including three Kerrys and five Blue Albions.
The system took a while to evolve, with milk initially sold to local processor Long Clawson Dairy to produce Stilton.
The decision to try a cheese-making course while on holiday in Scotland sparked an interest for Alan and Jane to have a go at producing their own cheese.
After a couple of years of 'dabbling' for personal consumption in their farmhouse kitchen, things took off on a commercial scale following interest from Matthew O'Callaghan who runs the Artisan Cheese Fair at Melton Mowbray.
"He approached us about making Colwick cheese and resurrecting the Nottinghamshire cheese. It was the answer to making it on a commercial scale."
A small room was built on the side of the dairy and they began using about 50 litres of milk a week to make the cheese.
Their major launch was at the Cheese Fair in 2014 where the they won the best stand prize. It was this win which instigated the interest from Jamie and Jimmy's Friday Night Feast.
Prior to the TV appearance, the pair had recognised growing demand for their product and applied for a grant to develop a new building for cheese processing.
Then, once their meeting with Usain Bolt was show, demand spiked, so much so they were quickly using 800 litres of their milk a week for cheesemaking.
Alan and Jane realised they were surfing a crest of a wave, so after an initial 18-month boost, a dip in sales instigated the decision to develop other cheeses.
They now also make a Camembert type cheese called Rutland Slipcote and a red Cheddar style called Ironstone.
Long Clawson Dairy had always been supportive of the Hewsons, but as more of the farm's relatively small volume of milk production went into home-produced cheese it became less economical for the dairy to pick up milk from the farm. As a result, both businesses mutually agreed to cease the arrangement in 2015.
Belvoir Ridge now sells pasteurised milk through a vending machine and some raw milk and cheese via an on-site fridge next to the dairy (see panel). The farm shop shut due to staffing reasons, together with the Hewson's decision to focus on cheese.
Despite the variable changes to the business, their marketing message of 'Keeping rare breeds milking' has been key to its growth.
Recently, the Hewsons have also chosen to develop their brand further by signing up as a pilot dairy for the Pasture for Life scheme. To use this logo farms must graze their cows when grass is available and feed a forage-based diet in winter. Livestock cannot be fed maize, soya or grain.
The model fits well with their current system, where cows are already fed a forage diet and no concentrate.
"The diet suits the herd and also meets growing consumer interest surrounding whether cattle go to grass.
"It suits the Red Poll cow. If you put them on a total mixed ration, they'd just get fat. It's the same with the Albions and Kerrys, they suit a forage system," he says.
Although not certified as organic, the farm is run on organic principles using composted farmyard manure from loose housing instead of artificial fertiliser.
Cows are fed a winter diet of hay, quality grass silage and rock salt in the parlour. All the farm's grassland is planted with herbal mixes, including cocksfoot, Timothy, meadow fescue, plantain, yarrow, red clover and chicory.
Alan believes this works well with the farm's dry land.
Sourcing rare breed genetics is one of the main challenges for the Hewsons, who believe they run the largest herd of milking Red Polls in the country.
As a predominantly beef breed, Alan and Jane have worked particularly hard to develop their herd of 40 milking cows over the last decade.
Alan says: "The amount of dairy Red Polls is diminishing. There are a lot of Red Poll cattle, but less in the dairy line. I've spent a lot of time trying to improve udders and milking quality."
The Red Poll is a Victorian cross between a Norfolk Red and a Suffolk Dun. Alan says there are milk records for bulls from the 1960s but not many for the bulls of today, so he has been sourcing semen from older bulls and breeding his own.
The farm's current Red Poll bull is home-bred, out of the farm's best milking cow for milk fat and protein.
His breeding policy is proving successful, gaining interest from farmers with beef Red Polls looking to use his genetics to boost the milkiness of their sucklers.
Sourcing Blue Albions is even more of a challenge. This dual-purpose breed originates from Derbyshire and is thought to have come from the Welsh Black. The Hewsons' stock bull, Jonas was bought as a three week old from Suzannah Garrett.
Blue Albion and Kerry semen, an Irish dairy breed, is also sourced from the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.
After putting such a lot of time and effort into keeping these rare breeds milking, the next challenge for the Hewsons is to develop some kind of succession plan as they have no-one interested in taking on the business.
They are keen to find an enthusiastic young person who is as passionate about about their breeding policy, milking rare breeds and continuing to make the cheese as they are.
"We're now looking for somebody to continue what we're doing. The cheese component is a big thing as we've researched old recipes and it would be nice for someone to keep this going as we've put so much effort into bringing it back.
It would be nice to get some youth and enthusiasm in to keep the cheese and the Red Polls going."

Remember Zap? I reported earlier in February that US electric car maker Zap was employing the services of Lotus to develop the ZAP-X for them, an all-wheel drive crossover MPV which would be fully powered by electric motors. The ZAP-X was to use Lotus Engineering's VVA platform and be based on the Lotus APX Concept.
Zap has released sketches and 3D renderings of the ZAP-X, which reveal some details on what's going to be in the car as well as how it will look like. Some of the basic performance stats include 644hp combined power from 4 in-wheel motors, a top speed of 250km/h and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4.8 seconds.
A lightweight aluminium chassis combined with lightweight motors and the removal of extra weight such as driveshafts in common single engine configurations balance out the weight of the batteries needed, thus making this a relatively light vehicle. On a full charge, the ZAP-X can go 350 miles or 563km, with a rapid 10 minute recharge time.
On the interior, seating is a 5+2 configuration, much like the new BMW X5. By 5+2 instead of 7, it means the rear 2 seats are only for use when you really have to, they aren't the most comfortable around. The interior is full of gadgets – a computer running Windows XP (it's Vista now?), Wi-Fi, Blue-tooth, High definition video support, iPod connectivity, Firewire, USB2 and Mini USB ports. There's also photo voltaic glass with thermoelectrics for heating and cooling, and energy collecting windows and windshields to harness solar energy.

I absolutely love my job as managing editor of MakeUseOf.com but many people, family included, look upon what I do with a lot of bemusement, a kind of "is he STILL deluded into thinking that's a JOB? When is he going to act responsibly and get a REAL job?". But the infographic below is a classic example of why I love my job and why the Internet is the best place to be working – because it's where everything is happening baby!
The first stat alone says it all – all the online information we consume on a daily basis can fill up 168 million DVD's (suddenly all those crappy AOL disks that kept on appearing a decade ago don't seem so bad!). We send out hundreds of billions of emails, write millions of blog posts and much more. Suddenly working in Burger King, flipping burgers and cleaning toilets doesn't seem to be all that appealing, does it? Come home, go online, start your own blog and update your Facebook status instead.
What do you do on a daily basis on the Internet? Do you live in Facebook? Or are you camped out more in your email inbox? Or maybe you're a budding blogger? Give us a breakdown of your Internet day.

Will saving Microsoft patches and updates on a CD improve installation efforts?
If you are installing a new OS some time after the latest service pack has been released, additional patches will need to be added with the operating system itself. In this expert response, Michael Cobb keeps you from installing them one at a time.
When performing a fresh install of an operating system, you should certainly download all of the latest service packs and patches before you begin. By integrating any security updates into a new installation, you can prevent the system from becoming infected when it is connected to a network or the Internet for the first time. Service packs contain all the patches released up to its cut-off date. By installing a service pack, you can eliminate the need for several patches and hotfixes. If you are running a new installation some time after the latest service pack has been released, however, there will be a lot of additional patches to install at the same time as the operating system itself. Thankfully, though, you don't have to install them one at a time.
You should prepare an integrated installation, or what is commonly known as slipstreaming, where the operating system image is updated with the latest service pack, patches and hotfixes before installation. The resulting installation files create a fully updated computer in a single imaging process. If you are deploying new installations over a network, it is common practice to make the slipstreamed installation source files available on a network share. The integrated command-line option of the package installer can copy the software update files to the shared network folder. The original operating system files are then overwritten by the updated ones. For a more detailed explanation of this process, you should read "How to integrate software updates into your Windows installation source files."
If Windows is being installed on several standalone PCs, you can order slipstreamed CDs from the Microsoft Web site. I would recommend that you create your own slipstream installation, though, as you can customize it so that any specific drivers or software updates can be installed at the same time. The process involves more work initially, but overall it will save you time, particularly if you have several PCs to set up. There are a few drawbacks to slipstreaming Windows. Firstly, not all patches can be applied in this fashion. Even more annoyingly, if you discover that a certain patch is causing a problem, it cannot be removed without using an original, non-slipstreamed install CD.
Once you have installed and set up your PCs, use Microsoft's free Windows Update service, or – if your PCs are on a network -- consider the Software Update Services (SUS). The technology allows you to install a service that downloads all critical updates, security updates and service packs as they are posted to the Microsoft Windows Update Web site. The updates can then be made available to all preconfigured servers and desktops, including those that do not have Internet access. Do be aware, though, that SUS only provides security patches, critical updates, updates, update rollups and service packs, which are available from Windows Update. Device driver updates are not provided through SUS.

Within twenty-four hours of becoming a dad, my brain was ready to explode from all the new, funny, and frustrating things that were going on in my life. Because parenthood goes by so fast, I started turning these memories into parenting cartoons and letters that I will one day give to my son when he is old enough to appreciate it (maybe thirty years later when he has his own kids?!). But in the meantime, I'm sharing our journey and laughs with others.
Baba's Fieldnotes is a collection of "parenting" moments reflecting on what it means to be a parent today, finds the humor in life when you just want to cry, and celebrates the small and forgotten moments that come with raising a child.
As for me, my name is Jonathan. I'm a working dad, and when I'm not working, I am watching "Thomas the choo choo train" with my son, helping my wife keep the house in order, wishing we will get to sleep through the night, and drawing cartoons about all the aforementioned activities. I was raised in the U.S., and currently live in London, UK with my wife, dog, and toddler son whose name was decided by a chocolate drink (Milo). I like EDM and I only drink pour-over single origin coffee. I'm a tried and true millennial.
We go through a lot in our lifetime – too much to remember, and as Bob Dylan once sang, "Take care of all your memories / For you cannot relive them."

Will Moredock ("Confession Time," Views, Aug. 30) really needs help with his geography. The mountains in the movie The Deer Hunter are not the Rockies but the Cascade Range in western Washington. Also, the majestic snowcapped peak in the film is Mt. Baker, a 10,700 ft. inactive volcano about 80 miles to the east of Bellingham, Wash. I saw The Deer Hunter while I attended college in Bellingham and can recall the audience burst out laughing when it showed the actors making the drive from Pennsylvania to western Washington overnight.Don Allen

Oh, those zany and madcap Wando boys! Those crazy, crazy kids!
How did almost a dozen young guys convince each other to pull a stunt as stupefying and ill-conceived as this one? While I applaud the whole team spirit thing, that sure seems like an awful lotta bad judgment for one measly football team. We all know there's no 'I' in TEAM, and unfortunately for these boys, there's no "I" in larceny or armed robbery, either.
I guess we should cut the lads some slack. How else are they supposed to prepare for the next logical step in their education–college athletics? Maybe dabbling in felonies was actually the mature and responsible thing to do.
After all, we certainly can't expect these kids to go straight into the high-intensity world of team-sponsored illegal activity at the college level without at least getting their feet wet in the world of small-town crime first, can we? Of course not. College athletes these days need practical experience and lots of practice in the art of criminal behavior.
It'll be so much easier for them to blend in with the rest of their college football team with a couple of felonies under their belts! Just think how useful this little dalliance with delinquency will be when our boys want to fit in by foiling a couple of drug tests, trafficking steroids, cheating on their exams, or slipping a girl a mickey.
They'll be part of the team in no time! No learning curve here, folks! Way to stay ahead of the pack, boys! Way to take responsibility for your own education! Way to be proactive! Go Warriors!Wendy Sang Kelly

Your restaurant reviewer, Jeff Allen, is one entertaining writer. I mean, how often do you read restaurant reviews aloud to each other? Last week's ("Mixed Aromas," Cuisine, Aug. 30) has stayed with me – it opens with a description of downtown that justifies my dislike of going there. It could have been written by Dickens. I read it aloud to my wife, and she observed that Mr. Allen had neglected to mention the horsy smells. But wait! The next line he dropped the bomb about the "steaming horse turds," and we both laughed out loud and agreed that indeed Mr. Allen had a deep knowledge of the peninsula.
For someone whose idea of going out is to order Hop Sing's to go, it is great fun to vicariously experience the downtown overpriced tourist traps through the prose -– and the nose – of so good a writer.Cecil Steed
The shameful, unethical and juvenile behavior of North Charleston's Ombudsman James Bell described in the Post and Courier article, "Official charged in sting" – maliciously scratching up the automobile of a city councilman – is reason for him to immediately be placed on leave, resign, or be fired immediately. The article quotes the crime victim, Councilman Bill King, as frequently voting against Ombudsman Bell's supervisor, Mayor Keith Summey. The article describes Bell's technique as "keying" Mr. King's car.
Keying is a new word to me, but it describes pretty well the way Mayor Summey runs our city. Keying is a despicable example this bum – our ombudsman for Pete's sake – sets for North Charleston's citizens, including its impressionable youngsters. Keying. The shame of it all. The corruption never ceases. And our City Council members – with the exception of Bob King – are spineless lap dogs kept on short leashes by Summey. All creatures great and small, from the Noisette financial fiasco to "keying" of rivals' automobiles, are potential victims of the "Boss Hog Gang." Keying. How low-down can you get?Juanita Cantey

Michael "Burt Gummer" Gross confirms that he won't have any involvement with Syfy's upcoming Tremors TV series, which stars Kevin Bacon. This will make said series the first ever Tremors project to not include Gross' fan favorite character in some form. Burt began life as a supporting player in the original 1990 Tremors film, serving as the town of Perfection, Nevada's local gun enthusiast. Burt's huge supply of weapons and survivalist training proved a great help to Perfection's fellow residents during the Graboid assault, and he quickly gained a large fan following.
When original Tremors co-lead Kevin Bacon didn't return for Tremors 2, Gross' Gummer saw increased screentime alongside the returning Fred Ward. By Tremors 3, Gross had completely taken over as series star, and has played the lead role in Tremors 4 and 5 as well. He also headlined a short-lived 2003 Tremors TV series that aired on the then Sci-Fi Channel. At this point, it's hard to imagine a Tremors-related movie or TV show happening without Gross, but the actor has now confirmed that he officially will not be participating in Syfy's new series.

Gross made his lack of involvement with Syfy's new Tremors series clear via a recent Facebook post. Gross is very active on social media, and often uses it to communicate directly with fans and reveal info about things he's working on. Apparently, Gross has been getting inundated with questions about whether or not he would be appearing on the Kevin Bacon-led show, and felt the need to set the record straight. Here's what he had to say.
"For Tremors fans who have been asking, 'Will Kevin Bacon return to do the films?' or 'Is your Burt Gummer character going to be in Kevin's series?' I think we can say with a good deal of certainty that the answer to both questions is no. The series is currently shooting in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico, and I have no other details. If Burt Gummer appears, [he] will be played by another [actor]."
Gross has always been rightly protective of the Burt Gummer character, as it's probably his signature acting role, with the possible exception of Steven Keaton on the classic sitcom Family Ties. With that in mind, it's surprising to see him even mention the possibility of someone else playing Burt. Still, Universal owns the character, so they could indeed conceivably decide to recast. One wonders why they would though, as Gross' statement makes it sound less like they asked him to be on the show and he said no, and more like he simply wasn't contacted at all.
It seems a lot more likely that Syfy just won't include the Burt Gummer character at all in their new Tremors series, and the official synopsis gives a possible clue as to why. This Tremors seems to be ignoring all the film sequels, and functioning as a direct follow-up to the original, albeit set 25 years later. Whereas Bacon's Val McKee quickly moved out of Perfection in the films, in this series, he stayed, and there seemingly have been no Graboid attacks in the decades since. That scenario really doesn't seem to have much room for Burt. Well, at least Gummer fans still have the upcoming Tremors 6 movie to look forward to, which hits DVD and Blu-Ray in May 2018.
