Do or Don't: Bangs
239 comments:
i'm always opposite the trends. i had very blunt cut bangs for several years and grew them out a couple of years ago. in my opinion, unless you have very stick straight hair or cut them so that they will fall into place naturally, they're too high maintenance. of course this is coming from a girl who doesn't brush or dry her hair. ever.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine have been having this debate for weeks. I am so sick of my side bang and really want to try blunt bags but am so nervous!!

I impulsively got a fringe (English :P) and I regretted it so much. I kind of went through a 'oh my life is awful' stage and took it out on my long long hair to get a fringe and regretted it. It takes so much time to make it look good, I ended up wearing it as a quiff for years, took two years to grow it out completely. I think if you look good with a fringe, you never change, if you have spent a long time without one, chances are, you're going to regret it later.
ReplyDelete Hi! I've had them for a long time now- I do not have the Zooey Deschanel or the supermodel bang. Mine is more of a swept to the side bang that can be wore straight across as well. I love them and think they are flattering on all. Worst case scenario- you grow them out or pull them back! I say go for it.
http://thepumpkinspot.blogspot.com/I have always wanted bangs! But every time I talk to trusted stylists, they tell me not to cut them because they wouldn't suit me. I usually listen to them, but one time I decided that I was going to do it anyway. Well, I have short hair and a round face, and I just ended up looking like the Campbell's soup kids. I still think about it all the time, though, and wonder if the next time, it will be different.

I had bangs when I was little, but I'm not sure I could pull them off again. Actually, Miss Oklahoma (Which is where I live. She went to my high school and college first semester! Small world!)rocked the bangs, which I thought was awesome! Made her really stand out, which is a good thing, as she made it to top ten!
ReplyDelete i did it last year and loved, but only for a short time. they are a lot to keep up with! growing them out...ugh! i say go for it :)
a peek of chicWe always want what we can't have. I have bangs - I have to - my forehead is too large and my head is too round not to! I grew them out once and it was a mistake. I often wish I didn't have them, though, especially when I'm wearing hats (winter hats, baseball hats - all do really bad things to bangs).
ReplyDeleteha ha, to me bangs are the hair equivalent of comfort food: they shield your face from the outside world, and make you look instantly stylish and cool, like you've made that extra effort vs a 'regular' haircut
so I go constantly back and forth between giving in to the desire for bangs, and growing them out because i find them a bit easy and obvious (I always have them cut almost eyelash grazing, this way it only takes a couple months for them to be long enough to blend into the rest of my hair - very versatile!). Right now I am in a 'no-bangs' phase,with a very simple shoulder-lenght bob, but I will probably get bangs again next time I feel a bit down and tired and in need of an easy pick-me-up!
and if you want some, just go for it! if you don't like them they will be gone in 3 months! as my mom always says, it's just hair, it will grow back!I wish it looked as good on my as on Zooey, she's really beautiful like that.

♥I used to have bangs up until high school when I grew them out. I find it much easier to not have bangs. I always wanted them to look perfect but they'd separate, drive me crazy, sit the wrong way, and make my forehead break out sometimes lol. I'd also get annoyed having to clip them back whenever I wash my face. Trimming them is a pain too.

i NEVER imagined i would have bangs. but i love zooey deschanel and wanted to try them. i started with a short fringe to the side, then a month later went-all-the-way with heavy, piecey-at-the-end bangs to half way through my eyebrows. i love them and have never received so many compliments. DO IT
ReplyDelete I've had bangs for years but I remember in the beginning - maybe the first 6 months to a year(!) it took some figuring out.
Here's what I have to do with them after I shower - blow dry them (with the rest of my hair) and if they still need taming, pull a cotton headband down over them for 1/2 an hour or so to put them in the straight mood. Easy peasy.That's funny, 2012 is the year I finally finished growing out my bangs of 4-5 years! I have to say, it's not true bangs wouldn't suit you. It's probably easier for people with high/wide foreheads to wear them, but if you cut them just a bit higher on the head like Zooey Deschanels (like I used to have), or cut a few side pieces, they should suit you perfectly. (Go for it!) Now that my bangs are completely grown out, I'm tempted to cut them a bit like Alexa Chung... Ahh, hair decisions!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I DREAM of bangs, but thanks to my genetics that "gifted" me with curly hair, I am unable to sport a hairstyle that involves bangs. I love looking at them and am secretly or not so secretly jealous of women who have straight hair and are ever so lucky to be able to wear such a cute hairstyle.
ReplyDeleteI have bangs! actually i always had side swept bangs then last year I decided to go for the blunt bangs...I love them but they are not for those you who don't keep up with maintenance. My hair grows quick so I have to go get them trimmed at least every other month (if I don't min them getting to shaggy). Luckily Arrojo does free bang trims so I can go there without having to spend money plus it allows me to stay in contact with my hair dresser lol.
http://fashionistanygirl.blogspot.com/I've had bangs for years and I disagree with people who say they are high maintenance! They are just slliiiightly more maintenance. They tend to get dirty more quickly than the rest of your hair, which is easily solved by just washing them over the bathroom sink and blowdrying for a minute.
I have a side-swept one right now (my hair just never recovered it's thickness after giving birth so goodbye to the blunt bangs) and it's great. :)I got bangs in January and loved it for a while (didn't look bad)but am now growing them out. There are only so many hair styles that you can do with bangs. I didn't like waking up and finding I had the "something about Mary" look going on.... wasn't a great look to seduce the bf in the morning lol. Glad I tried it but back to no bangs for me!
http://www.m-liveloudly.blogspot.comI've had them all my life as I have a ridiculously big forehead. I would rather NOT have them if I'm honest but I look so wrong without them. They are annoying in photographs, and when I run they look really weird as they fly at odd angles.
But I do think they look lovely on some people and people like Zoey make me try and rock them a bit better.I've had them all my life as I have a ridiculously big forehead.

But I do think they look lovely on some people and people like Zoey make me try and rock them a bit better.I have had bangs my entire life. Really. One summer I tried to get rid of them and swore it made me feel dizzy not seeing them in my line of vision. But that could have just been me rebelling against the side swept bang. Either way, they're definitely now a part of me, and a bit of a security blanket, to be honest. I can't see myself ever not having them!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who gets bored with her hair VERY easily, bangs have been my savior. I am growing out a pixie and am almost to an even chin-length bob stage. The bangs get pinned up, swept to the side, and worn blunt across and I love them. My hair never has to look the same and that suits me perfectly. I was a blunt-cut bang-hater until I got the itch to do them myself.
ReplyDelete- Anonymous10:38 AM
I love bangs on a lot of other people. Unfortunately, I just can't do bangs. I tried maybe 5 years back, despite knowing they wouldn't work, and then lived with 8 months or so of tucking my hair back with bobby pins.
First, they just don't work with curly hair. I have fine curly hair which for the most part can easily be straightened, but for some reason the "bangs area" is the most curly, with actual kinky curls which can't be fully-straightened. They will never lie flat. (This was the area that first started going curly when I was a straight-haired little girl.)
Second, I seem to have an unusually small forehead, so it just looks bad. And there's something about my profile which makes having hair over what tiny forehead I do have look unflattering. Alas. my mom told me my whole life that bangs are the devil - that i'd get them and instantly regret them due to their high-maintenance upkeep. i finally got them 6 years ago and now don't believe i will ever *not* have them. i really don't think they are high-maintenance at all. i should also mention that shortly after i got them, my mom did too and hasn't looked back either. :)
ReplyDeleteTotal love/hate relationship with bangs!
I got them cut in a couple of years ago; I wasn't convinced - the continuous maintenance to make them look right, the constant temptation to trim them myself (dangerous, once done, NEVER again!, but my boyfriend (now husband) thought they were great, and I did like how they looked too, so I kept them for a couple of years.
But when it came time to get married, I decided to grow them out, and now I've stuck for the non-bangs look. Just much easier and more versatile... but I do miss the dramatic, edgy look that goes with having bangs!
BTW, where I am from (New Zealand), we don't refer to them as bangs, but as a fringe. Bangs is so infinitely cooler!

I love how heavy bangs look on some people, but I just don't have the right hair for bangs. For years and years I would go through the cycle of getting them and then immediately starting to grow them out again. Now whenever I tell my sister I'm going for a haircut it's her job to remind me, "NO BANGS!"
ReplyDelete - Rosie10:51 AM
As a teenager I'd cut my own fringe - I loved it and it looked great (even now as I look back at photos I think that - perhaps the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia influence that somewhat?!).
Now in my mid-twenties I expected the same thing would work and cut my shoulder-length hair short and added a blunt fringe - big mistake! My fringe failed at turning back the clock, and sadly what suits me now reveals my ever-increasing forehead wrinkles too! Ha ha ha! I grew out my bangs about 3 years ago, and constantly reconsider getting them again. There are a few things that stop me: bad bang days where they just will not cooperate, whenever I worked out I would need few bobbypins around, and sticky hot east coast summers where it feels like your bangs are just sticking to your forehead. Nonetheless, they're still super cute... so it's always something to consider.
ReplyDeleteONE way in which I'm kind of trendy, I guess! I have bangs that I just got cut recently. When I grew them out in elementary school I thought I'd NEVER want to go through that again, but now I realize I can just wear them to the side as they start to get too long :) I like them!
Here I am with my bangs!I have to have bangs. I pretty much have a five-head. I tried the sideways bangs for a while in college...bad decision. I would look ridiculous with no bangs and my hair tied back in a ponytail. Luckily my hair stylist is cool and will let me come in between haircuts to trim my bangs for free (my bangs grow like weeds). The only annoying thing about having bangs is when you work out or it's really hot and you sweat then they stick to your forehead. Otherwise I love them! But I must say I'm jealous of all the ladies out there that have the no-bangs option.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to grow my hair out past my chin for the first time in ohhhh 10 years ...so bangs are a nice way to change things up without an actual haircut :) on the other hand, I have natural waves/curls that I wear sometimes and straight bangs with naturally curled hair just looks funk sometimes. I stand undecided but usually do it anyway. :D
ReplyDeleteMy forehead is too small for bangs :( does my head in :(!
I've followed you sweetie and I'd love if you could follow me back as I only have one follower - boohoo :(.
I'm currently working on a Summer Lookbook and will be uploading my YouTube video today in which I'd love for you to possibly check out.
Much love, Luce x
http://lucestephenson.blogspot.co.uk/I have had side-swept bangs off and on for years. I recently tried cutting straight bangs myself, and they looked okay, but I'm not sure I would do it again (at least not myself!). Looking back at pictures of myself without bangs, all I can see is a great big forehead...so I won't be getting rid of them anytime soon :)
ReplyDeletei have been rockin my bangs since 2007 and have loved every minute. The only thing I get sad about is that no one ever sees my eyebrows... and I feel that I have very expressive eyebrows. Sometimes when I need to get my point across I will move the bangs to the side so I can give a good eyebrow wiggle.

I've had bangs for the past 8 years and i love them! I get compliments all the time and they are part of my look. You can look edgy and punky with some heavy eyeliner a la Joan Jett, or you can look ethereal and whimsical in a sheer summer dress and straw hat with beachy waves. They're a great accessory!
It's also a must for me because of my large forehead :) I got bangs in the beginning of 2007. It was the spring semester of my senior year of college, I had just ended a sort of rough period in my life, and I was ready for a change. I was really nervous- so nervous that I closed my eyes when the stylist cut them! But I'll never forget what happened when I opened them, both my mouth and the hairdresser's mouth dropped and we said in unison, "Oh my God!" I don't think either of us expected them to look that good.
Flash forward a month or two later- I'm nearing graduation and I meet a guy at a bar near campus. I don't think much of the casual interaction until friends start coming up to me saying "So and so calls you bangs girl, he likes your bangs!" It was so funny, I never thought anyone would like me specifically for my hair. That casual interaction grew to a friendship, flirting, and then a relationship. At the time I had set plans to move to NYC with my best girlfriends (a plan that had been set in stone for a year), but within a few short weeks all of that changed and I up and moved to DC with the boyfriend I acquired because of my bangs! I think it was a good choice, as five years later we're still going strong (though thankfully now living in NYC). But my friends often joke that they don't know anyone whose entire life changed largely because of a haircut. I'm sure it wasn't all the haircut, but it's still a fun story :). And for that reason, I think I will forever have bangs!I haven't had bangs since I was 6 years old with a short bob and bangs. Yesterday I was just talking to my friend about wanting to cut some bangs for myself. I cut my own hair and it's hard to keep from experimenting with something drastic and crazy.
However, my face is pretty round, and my husband said I would just look like a lollipop with bangs if I got them.
Anyway, I caved and gave myself long bangs that can be pushed away as side bangs... but I'm tempted to make the full leap and trim them an inch more for real bangs.have you ever done the "see-if-you-look-good-with-bangs" trick? you basically bobby pin your hair to give yourself faux bangs so you can get a feel for whether or not your can pull 'em off. here's what i mean: http://www.blendingbeautiful.com/want-to-see-how-youd-look-with-bangs-try-this-fun-trick/
ReplyDeleteI cut my bangs for the first time since I was 4 about 6 months ago and they were cute for 10 minutes until I washed my hair and had to style them again. I'm telling you... TOTALLY not worth the time. So cute but such a pain. My bangs still aren't long enough to put behind my ear and it drives me nuts every single day.
ReplyDeleteI was just back in NYC visiting my gal Amanda at Arrojo and she gave me one wicked pair of bangs and a super short do. I felt cool for about 24 hours but upon arriving back to LA and attempting to do my hair myself I just about had a nervous breakdown/cursed myself for getting them. HOWEVER! 1 1/2 weeks later (and some trial and error) I'm in love. It's totally changed my style - actually they gave me style. My hair is now my best accessory to any outfit. Don't be scared...just go for it!

I have a fivehead rather than a forehead, so I have had bangs for almost all of my life. I hate that my face shape limits me to needing them, but they do work with lots of lengths and styles. I've had long hair, medium hair and now I have a pixi with long bangs. And they can really draw attention to they eyes, which is always nice.
ReplyDelete - Melissa12:31 PM
I've been rocking the full bangs for 6 years now. And I'm 24, and it definitely doesn't look childish. Thankfully I have hair that bangs just sort of work on, I guess like Zooey's. I don't have to blow dry them or style or anything, they just kind of know where to go. It's only hair! So if anyone was doubting them, just go for it! It grows back, though it might take a while.
ReplyDelete I've had bangs on and off for years, and recently decided to grow them out. While I think they look lovely, there's no denying the fact that I feel more awake, with it, and-honestly- more gown up without them. Who know, I'll probably decide to cut them again in a couple of years, but right now I'm enjoying seeing the world free and clear.
I actually just wrote a post this week sharing tips on how to grow them out, so i guess 2012 is NOT the year for bangs on ME. Which isn't to say they wouldn't look great on you :)
-JulieI had a fringe - or 'bangs' - when I went to university, I loved them! It was such a change I felt I could finally be myself! Then I realize what a pain they are to keep up (trimming every 2 weeks!!) that I grew them out. Now I miss them and will probably get them after my wedding :)
Zooey Deschanel's are to die for!I briefly considered them (always had them as a child, thanks mom), but my hair stylist astutely pointed out that I wear glasses almost every day, and bangs dusting the tops of glasses is just NOT a good look. Especially if you have a round face like me and are trying to do longer, sideswept bangs. where does the hair go, around the glasses? So I will continue to show off my (pretty nice, a little freckly) forehead.
ReplyDeletei always desperately WANT to love bangs, but i don't think i can handle the maintenance level! my hair is thin and they always end up just stringy and hanging in my eyes. it's best if i avoid them...though my sister once got removable bang extensions and they looked GREAT. she just bought them and then went to a stylist to have her trim them to a good length, and then she could take them out whenever she wanted. i support you trying this.

From the NYTimes Article:
"If you wear your hair naturally curly, I'm not a big fan of bangs...There's nothing worse than someone with a full head of curl and these straight bangs. It just looks ridiculous."
Ouch! I totally have the curly hair, straight, side swept bangs look and have for years. (THEY COVER MY GIANT FOREHEAD!) Then I noticed Zooey's hair is just as curly as mine with straight bangs and decided Johnny Lavoy is out of his mind. I think you would look great with side bangs, Joanna! I used to have straight bangs and I just found the upkeep was too much...it seemed like every two weeks they were getting too long. I've had bangs in some form for seven years now, and I can't really imagine myself without them now. I don't like to color my hair, so they give me a little style without being too boring.
ReplyDeleteI took the plunge and liked them while I was living in Europe last fall... then I came back to the midwest to find my bangs to be a ball of fuzz while I have super frizzy hair (ala Monica on Friends when they go to Barbados...) So I had to nix them. In humid, extremely hot areas, I can't. Walking to class on campus with sweaty bangs is THE WORST.
But if I had perfect hair, rather than this puff of fluff, I'd so rock them.
They make you feel so confident and sexy! Well, if you aren't me in Kansas... ; )i love bangs! my round face, not so much.

the gold hat.I am torn between bangs or no bangs and I have a haircut tomorrow-eek! Thing is, if i cut bangs i will be panicked about doing them every day (i have 2 major cowlicks right in front:S) and if i don't i 'll be disappointed for not being more brave...and so the great hair battle rages on...:)
ReplyDeleteJoanna, I'm a longtime lurker, first time commenter, but this is so timely for me since a few days ago I wrote blog post about wearing bangs since I was 2 years old. Consider it a cautionary tale! Hope it gives you a chuckle.
http://meanmaureen.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/bangs-the-perfect-model-of-evolutionary-survival/i have a love/hate thing with bangs. i have big forehead so i love them when they are trained, but sometimes i just can't get them to work and i give up and do what i am doing now...letting them grow down to my chin and just tucking them behind my ears until i miss them and cut them again. it's a neverending affair, me and bangs.
ReplyDeleteI think they can work really well on some people if they have the right face shape, but for most others, it just makes grown women look like they are trying to look like little girls.
Also, I don't feel like 2012 was a big year for bangs? I remember everyone was into them and cutting them back when I was in college 2-3 years ago, and now it seems like everyone is growing them out? Maybe I'm wrong? Maybe my friends are out of it? lolI love bangs, and have cut mine short two times in the past two years. That said, I HATE growing out bangs. There are so many awkward, hair-in-your-face phases to go through. And I don't care what people say--bobby pins don't always cut it. Of course once I've grown them out I almost immediately want to cut them again.... Ah to be a girl.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, have you got a good hairdresser, she should be able to talk you through what bangs would suit you. For example I can't have bangs straight across because my hair grows in such a way that part of it will always go to the side, so I keep mine as long side bangs, which makes me feel more comfortable than none at all.
I really love your long hair and think you look great without bangs anyway :) XHi Jo, have you got a good hairdresser, she should be able to talk you through what bangs would suit you.

I really love your long hair and think you look great without bangs anyway :) XI had bangs, thick and Zooey-esque, from the time I was 15 until just after my 20th birthday. About a year ago, when I began growing them out and chopped off over a foot of hair! I felt like they would look strange with short hair and I wanted a new look. However, I'm always getting bang envy and have come close to going back multiple times. I loved them and I miss them but I like being bang-free for now. I love the ability that bangs have to add style without having to actually do anything to your hair.

ReplyDeleteI've had bangs off and on. And for a while I had been getting really bad ones...so after a few years without them I decided to try them one last time and I LOVED them! For summer I let them grow out so I don't have them on my face all the time, but I am definitely getting bangs for fall again! They're beautiful!
ReplyDelete- Anonymous9:58 PM
Ugh my love/hate relationship with bangs...
It all started when I saw a magazine cover of Naomi Campbell with bangs and long sexy hair when I was a teenager in the late 90s. So i copied the look and LOVED them! Wore it that way for awhile till I got sick of it but it was a pain in the butt to grow them back.
Fast forward to three years ago. I cut them, HATED them and grew them back out. They were longer so it was easy to hide them. I vowed never to cut bangs ever again.. Until I did earlier this year in February. This time it wasn't so easy to hide as it was cut to a point where I had to commit to the look. I hate my bangs with a passion and now I'm at the odd mid length stage where I can't hide it or wear it as bangs. Grrrrrrr! You know...
I had bangs about 6 years ago and it was awful. Yes, my hair is fine and straight- so it should have been perfect. And yes, I have an oval shaped face. All the right elements for a fringe. But I ended up looking like an 8 year old kid with straggly (and sometimes greasy) bangs. Gah! Took like a year to grow out enough that I could live with them.
Some how, my (former) hairdresser this year convinced me that bangs would be hot. She was right. Except the sweat I have pouring out from underneath them this summer is not.
I don't know, some people love them on me, some people hate them, but in the end, I can't deal with plastered greasy hair on my forehead, no matter how "young" and "fresh" they make me look.
Bangs in the fall? Sure, why not? Summer time + bangs = Hot Forehead Mess!

Research Underway for Student-Based Health Center
By: Jessica Schaer
Updated: February 27, 2013
"If there's a low grade fever going on or something they could have immediate access," say Mark Barlass, Joplin School Assitant Director of Special Services.
The possibility of free on-site student health care at Joplin High School or any other R-8 school is in the beginning stages of research."It was a pretty cool idea. I mean, as we go into this new high school we're looking at this new career path. A once again, this career path is health and this health clinic would be a wonderful opportunity for our school, our district, and our kids," says Randy Steele, Joplin School Board President.
A Health Advisory Committee met for the first time in January and went to St. Louis to visit a high school with the program already in place. Committee members say after viewing that school, the program could be a good opportunity for Joplin. "We know just from exploratory and information we have on needs assessment that health care services and students receiving health care in Joplin, at times, can be limited," says Barlass.
Types of services offered at the center other than primary care are still not decided, so school board members have given the "okay" for the Committee to continue their research and come up with more details. "A consensus to the fact that we wanted more research. There's not a lot of schools involved in it right now. So we only know there's a couple schools out there that's done a pilot program," says Steele.
The only detail known right now is a full-time nurse practitioner would be on-site to keep students healthy and in school. According to Barlass, "There's a turn around or an increase in attendance because students have better health that have better access to health services needed and you know a healthy school is a healthy attendance."
Health advisory committee members say the health center could be possible at no cost to the school district. Instead, a contract for a private health agency would rent the space to offer their services. Committee members say they already have three undisclosed local health facilities interested in the program. The committee will discuss this more at a meeting on tuesday morning.

Grab the scissors and run, its The Axe Factor! This week, we investigate the news that Microsoft decieved the world by running their E3 demos on high-end Nvidia gaming rigs and why the company suddenly finds itself in such troubled waters. Plus, we examine Tom Clancy's The Division, go hands-on with Remember Me, The Last of Us, and more!
As I am typing this, we're deep inside the annual summer gaming drought of 2013. The last interesting current gen game I played was Bioshock Infinite. I'm now waiting patiently for The Last of Us to drop through the mail slot. In the interim, I have amused myself by going back and playing a whole bunch of the old Metroid titles. And I've had an absolute blast doing so. It's been one of the most nostalgic and satisfying gaming periods of my entire life. I replayed and finished all five of the…
After some discussion with the axeheads I asked myself what I want out of the next generation of gaming. And my answer is suprising. |It is neither better grafics or better AI. It does not even have to do with hardware.
What I want from the next generation the most is the introduction of used game sales for digital games. As soon as one of the major platforms does that I will go all digital, never looking back.
So, what would you like to see?

With DK still on full-time looking-good-in-LA duty, Brent and Tony sat down to discuss Nintendo's showing at this year's show, the fallout (good and bad) from Sony and…

Texting and Facebook addicts need not go into complete withdrawal when they get behind the wheel after all, but only if their car is equipped to read the messages for them.
Technology that reads incoming messages to drivers through a paired cellphone is offered by several auto-makers, but drivers can only reply through pre-set responses.
A new feature of Ford's SYNC sys-tem, available on some 2012 models, allows drivers to listen to incoming texts by pressing a button on the steering wheel. Drivers can respond to texts by selecting one of 15 customizable pre-set responses on a touch screen or using a voice command. BMW's Con-nectedDrive text-to-speech feature reads email, Facebook and Twitter updates aloud at the push of a button. And General Motors' OnStar system will offer a similar feature. But is this legal in British Columbia?
"Under the current legislation, a per-son may use an electronic device in a hands-free telephone function while driving a motor vehicle if the device is voice-activated or requires only one touch in order to initiate, accept or end a call," said a spokeswoman from the Ministry of Public Safety and SolicitorGeneral in an emailed statement. "While it is difficult to comment specifically on this new technology without understanding exactly how it works, hands-free technology such as Blue-tooth is permitted under the law."
Whether this is safe is an entirely separate question. The technology is marketed by the auto makers in various ways: "Keeping in Touch" (Ford), the car as a "mobile communication platform" (BMW) and keeping you "safely connected" (GM's OnStar).
However, ICBC spokesman Mark Jan Vrem cautions that driving is a full-time occupation.
"Technology is a wonderful thing, but we do know that when you're attention is diverted from driving it can lead to collisions," he said. "Our suggestion is stick to driving while you're driving. Do your texting after you've parked, after you've gotten home."
Distracted or inattentive driving contributes to an estimated 40 per cent of fatalities in Metro Vancouver, the RCMP said in a statement last month. Officers in the region handed out 2,100 tickets during a September crackdown on drivers texting and talking on hand-held devices.
According to the RCMP, 32 per cent of B.C. vehicle fatalities last year (104 deaths) were linked to distracted driving, with 45 of those deaths in the Metro Vancouver area.
The B.C. government passed legislation to ban the use of hand-held devices while driving on Jan. 1, 2010 and the public safety spokeswoman said officials are monitoring the effectiveness of that law and will make changes if needed as new technology is introduced.
Using a hand-held mobile device while driving carries a $167 fine and a three-point penalty.
All 10 provinces, Yukon and 34 U.S. states have passed laws against using hand-held devices while driving, with the Northwest Territories' and Nunavut's ban to take effect Jan. 1.

My "Nitty Gritty" has to do with writing collaborations...
I've brought this issue up to a few people and in a forum or two. But, I haven't received a real answer to date. So, here's the deal...
No one can be successful alone. I've noticed that many people have benefited from strong collaborations. Some have been hurt by them. So, please share with me when you have decided to collaborate on a writing project and when you've walked away from a collaboration. Tips and pointers are welcome, too.
I need to know because I want to ensure that I am doing things the "right way" (if there is such a thing).
So, yes... Hit me up... Let me know, please!
Thanks you so much!
What a great question! I have two avenues for you to explore:
1) Actual collaboration. This is what you're already thinking about, and sometimes it's great, sometimes it stinks. I collaborate a lot. Someone needs lyrics for a song they're writing? A scene to shoot for their acting reel? A writer to finesse the children's show they're pitching? I've done all of these and dozens more. The thing I've found with collaboration is to start small. Some relationships will work out, some won't. You are pretty much never paid upfront or even at all with a collaboration, so it's got to be worth it either in terms of a passion project or you just adore the person you're working with, and that makes it fun. Keeping it small to start also means that if it isn't fun, you've just done the little thing you promised, and then you can walk away.
If you do end up collaborating with someone, you MUST have something in writing. I don't care if it's your sister or your best friend or someone who gave you a kidney. Get it in writing. A deal memo just needs to spell out your expectations on both sides, should something good happen with the project. Ownership must be spelled out. If you're writing, but it's someone else's idea (which, actually, I don't do unless I'm paid - it's not a collaboration unless they bring something to the table), how are you going to copyright it? Who gets what credit? Spell it all out in advance and have your lawyer look it over before you sign. This will protect you if the relationship sours or if your partner declares bankruptcy, for instance. Which happened to me. Get it in writing.
2) Creating your core group, your "class of...", where you're all at roughly the same point in your careers and you grow up together. This is a fantastic idea and you should absolutely do it. You may or may not actually collaborate with them, but you will all help each other out, brainstorm together, be each other's cheerleaders... and you all win by the relationships. This is why writers groups are so important, but they don't all need to be writers. I took a class on moving your career forward which deliberately grouped writers with actors and directors and producers and musicians and editors -- we were all rising together, but we all brought a different perspective to the table. I have a friend who deliberately creates a group like that, called a Mastermind group, that meets once a month for dinner and to catch up on each other's careers and offer advice and support. You won't love everyone equally, but having a supportive group is essential.
So that's my two cents! Hope it helps --
I LOVE your reply. You gave way more than just two cents! :-)
I come from the legal field. I believe if it's NOT in writing then, it didn't occur. LOL! I thought ALL writers thought this way too. But, I recently found out that is not the case.
Personally, I do not work on any collaborative projects (writing or otherwise) without a Confidentiality Agreement (CA) AND a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The CA protects everyone's ideas while we are all "cooking" in the lab. The MOU irons-out who does what, copyrights, etc.
I presented the aforementioned to one particular writer, and the writer had an adverse response. I presented the aforementioned to two other writers, and they had an "all-for-it" response.
I chalked the whole thing up to the "creative process."
This is the first time I've gotten this far with a collaborative writing project. And, I'm pretty satisfied.
Now, as for creating a core group, I think that is a great idea. I do not have the luxury of having a face-to-face core group. I am a huge introvert. I like people. I just think some folks find me a little odd. :-) But, She Writes helps to fill this void. This site has created an invaluable network of people who care about the craft of writing. I am very happy with She Writes too.
Thank you so much for your detailed response. You actually put my mind at ease. I thought I was being a little over zealous with the CA and MOU. Now, I know my instincts were right. Thank God for you and my gut!
On, no, Clene', you are right on the money. I always work with an MOU, and although I don't ask for a CA, I always state upfront that I'm happy to sign anything that makes the other person comfortable because I never talk about someone else's project. Never.
(Quick aside: I do believe you've got to pitch like mad to get your work read, but I would never pitch without getting the explicit permission of my partner on a project that we share.)
The MOU is also a good way to get a feel for whether or not you and the other person are a good fit. If you don't see eye-to-eye on that - and if you don't both share the same understanding of roles and expectations - it probably won't make for a fun partnership, no matter how talented both parties may be.
You come from legal! How fabulous! See, I see that as a tremendous asset to your partnership. Possibly because one of my clients has a lawyer who so screwed up the MOUs that they're essentially unenforceable... in my favor, luckily, but still. I like the comfort of working with people who know what they're doing!
Indeed! Preach, Sister! I love conversing with you. Your perspectives are so solid. I can tell you have a world of wisdom backing your experience. Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do for you! I am always here. And, if it's a private matter you can always message me. :-)
Thank you! :) I do so love this community...

[Solved] Firefox Anchor Links
Long-time reader, first-time poster...
I know this isn't a CSS question, but it does relate to the use of IDs as anchor targets...
I recently put together a one-page website, using anchor links. This works fine in all browsers, except Firefox (Mac and Windows).
Having hunted around the web, I've tried setting:

... as my target - but that made no difference. As far as I knew, we just needed:

... these days.
Does anyone have a quick solution for me?
If you need to see the page in question, you'll find it over at http://www.do-not-shop4usb.co.uk
Many thanks in advance.
I can't think of any reason why but try changing the links from this format
Who are shop4usb?
to this one
Who are shop4usb?
If that doesn't work try removing any hashes (#) from your 'names' and 'IDs'.
Thanks Paulie - I had the links originally without the index.html in them - so I know that doesn't make a difference, but will try removing the hashes to see if that makes a difference (doesn't sound right though!)
Hmmm - as I secretly suspected, that made the links lead to a page not found message... Any other suggestions?
believe it or not, Firefox may be correct here. All the section child divs are floating, so they're taken out of the document flow. The target anchors have no content and nothing to size them, so they're essentially 0 in height, as is the parent sections. So all the sections effectively stack up on the top of the page. Contain the floats and it will work (I'd use either overflow: hidden or clearfix on section).
Thanks wolfcry911 - that makes sense in a way - if the top of each section is seen to be at the top of the screen, there would be no reason to jump down. Will have a look at the containing DIVs to see what can be done.
Thanks wolfcry911 - your suggestion pointed me in the right direction... I added a display:inline-block attribute to each section within the page, and now the anchor links are working as they should in Firefox.

(NEWSER) – Papa needs a new pair of … cows? Zynga yesterday filed the first salvo of paperwork necessary to obtain an online gambling license in Nevada, the Wall Street Journal reports. But don't expect to be betting on Farmville (or more likely titles like Zynga Poker) anytime soon. The document filed yesterday was a request for the state to decide if Zynga is even potentially suitable for a license, and that decision alone is expected to take 12 to 18 months.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Someone was getting its first win of the girls basketball season.
The only question was which team?
River Valley rallied back from a five-point third quarter deficit with a 25-13 surge down the stretch, allowing the visiting Lady Raiders to secure a 55-48 victory over Meigs in a non-conference matchup at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium.
Both RVHS (1-2) and the host Lady Marauders (0-2) battled through five ties and seven lead changes in the contest, and each squad led by as many as eight points during regulation. In the end, however, the Lady Raiders sank 8-of-13 free throws down the stretch and took the lead for good with 5:15 remaining to gain the seven-point decision.
River Valley stormed out to a 9-0 advantage less than four minutes into the first period, then went scoreless over the final 4:17 of the quarter as Meigs mounted a 7-0 run to pull within two after eight minutes of play.
The Lady Marauders tied things up at nine with 7:24 left in the first half, but RVHS ended a 5:08 scoring drought just 16 seconds later after Leia Moore made a basket for an 11-9 edge. That field goal sparked a 7-0 run over the next 1:25, giving the guests a 16-9 cushion with 5:43 left in the half.
MHS responded with a goal at the 4:55 mark to end a four-and-a-half minute scoring drought, which sparked a 12-4 run that pulled Meigs' deficit down to a point (22-21) entering the intermission. The Lady Marauders — who also forced a 21-all tie at the 1:32 mark of the second stanza — never led in the first half and had one more turnover than RVHS at the break (7-6).
The hosts reeled off four straight points to start the second half, but River Valley answered with a three-pointer from Cady Gilmore to knot things up at 25-all with 5:20 remaining. Meigs, however, countered with an 8-0 surge over the next 3:47 for a 33-25 lead with 1:33 left in the canto.
Both squads traded baskets over the next 1:06 for a 35-27 contest, but the guests closed the third out with a small 3-0 run to pull within 35-30.
The Lady Raiders went on a 12-7 run over the opening 2:14 of the fourth to pull even at 42 with 5:46 left, then took the lead permanently 31 seconds later when Shelby Brown scored to give the guests a 44-42 edge. Meigs pulled to within 47-46 with 3:30 left in regulation, but RVHS closed the game with an 8-2 run to wrap up the final decision.
River Valley forced the Lady Marauders to commit eight turnovers over the final eight minutes. RVHS had 13 turnovers in the triumph, compared to 18 by the hosts. The Lady Raiders also connected on 8-of-15 field goal attempts in the fourth quarter charge.
RVHS connected on 20-of-61 field goal attempts overall for 33 percent, including a 3-of-19 effort from beyond the arc for 16 percent. Meigs, conversely, made 21-of-54 shot attempts for 39 percent, including a 2-of-5 outing from three-point territory for 40 percent.
Meigs outrebounded the guests by a 31-29 overall margin. Both teams had 16 offensive rebounds apiece.
Cady Gilmore led the Lady Raiders with a game-high 19 points, eight of which came in the crucial fourth period. Shelby Brown was next with 12 points, followed by Chelsea Copley with 11 points and Leia Moore with nine markers. Courtney Smith rounded out the winning tally with four points.
RVHS was 12-of-23 at the charity stripe for 52 percent, recorded 16 assists and also had 10 steals as a team. Brown led the guests with 14 rebounds, while Gilmore paced the guests with seven assists and five steals.
Brittany Krautter paced MHS with 18 points, followed by Hannah Cremeans with 12 points and Mercadies George with eight markers. Kelsey Hudson was next with five points, followed by Tess Phelps with three points and Morgan Russell with two points.
Meigs was 4-of-9 at the free throw line for 44 percent had team totals of 12 steals and eight assists. Phelps hauled in a team-best 11 rebounds, while Krautter added four steals and three assists. Phelps also had four steals in the setback.

Getting sick f this shit yet?
Some of the comments are spot on. Now we are going to hear for the next week how Stern is considering it, just like American Idol
Howard/Buchwald stooge Perez Hilton has the same story on his website too. They're really desperate to make Howard seem relevant and in demand after the AGT ratings flop and losing publicity to Mel B and Heidi.
just think this $$$$$ used to get paid to Artie
Ok, what moron wrote this one?
BrieBelle00 3 comments
Stern's got one of the most-subscribed-to premium channels, ever - WHY would he even WANT to go to a 4th-rate time slot on TV?! That's ridiculous. He doesn't want it, and his fans sure as sh!t don't want a watery, babied version of him. He's got it made on Sirius/Cable, exactly how he wants it, and exactly how the millions of fans want it. No way he'd let anyone eff that up.
One of the most subscribed to channels ever?
Christ, those comments move so slowly they may as well be on SFN.
Someone's colostomy bag is full...
Don Buckwald may not have a client who has been relevant since 1999 other than Howard who wasn't relevant since about 2004, but his publicity stunt of claiming Howard is up for something that there is no way in hell he will get still works. I still can't believe that the media still buys it after they started a rumor that Howard would be a villain in a Batman movie that wasn't even being considered never mind being cast. Yet, the media bought the planted story that American Idol was going to pay Howard $20 million a year to be a judge for them and now they are buy this story where Linda Stasi admitted it was coming from Howard's camp in the article.
Is he/she talking about Howard 100 or Howard TV? You don't subscribe to Howard 100 and I am pretty sure that Howard TV doesn't have a fraction of the subscriptions that HBO or Showtime has. Otherwise, Howard would be doing that channel full time.
Either a Howard sycophant or a plant.
comments are not very welcome. mine was deleted within minutes and i was being nice.
edit:nevermind, it just got shuffled
The current incarnation of Howard was borne from a space pod shortly before he left his wife to take up horse back riding. If you find the former, human, Howard Stern by all means hire him. It will be a great show. The unfunny pussified horse lover that now poses as Howard Stern, not so much.

From the 2012 Fake Poster thread, not including some that looked horrible or didn't match the classic poster layout. Also please try and base your votes on the overall lineup rather than just the headliners.
For me it's No. 1, the only one with both Soulwax and The Knife. Add in The Avalanches, Radiohead and Simian Mobile Disco, Booka Shade and Underworld and I... need to change my underwear, brb.
The one captncrzy posted
I am SO bored at work so I went through each poster and tallied up the acts I would definitely try to see - I counted acts I'd already seen as 1 point, acts I've never seen as 2 points, acts that are really fucking good and I will be completely elated to see any on the lineup as 3 points, and acts that would make me start to cry if they are on the lineup as 5 points. Poster 1 beat poster 4 by 11 points.
I got through 3 of these and had to take a nap.
Anything that has: The Antlers, St. Vincent, Cat Power, The Knife, Austra, Wye Oak, Roxy Music, Apparat, Earlimart(they're in the studio, I think)and Bat for Lashes.
Blur, The Knife, Fugazi, Daft Punk, Aphex, Pulp, Massive Attack.....
Upcoming Shows:
Pitchfork Festival: 7/19 @ Union Park
Mountain Oasis Festival: 10/25-27
Coachella: 4/11-13 @ Empire Polo Fields
Daft Punk + anything = jizake for everyone
Need more options. MORE OPTIONS. shit i didnt even vote
Based on headliners and design. number 4.
2013: Tool first three time Headliner.
1 or 3 or 4 would kill in my opinion. The headliners are a bonus anyways.
I'm at work and can only see two of the posters. The first one is stacked. There's like 10-11 acts per day that I would want to see. Based on the headliners, I guess #7 is the other one that I can see. The only reason I'd even consider that one is Tom Waits. I'll have to wait to get home and see the rest to cast my vote.
Last edited by nahuatldream; 12-28-2011 at 07:11 PM. Reason: Outkast/Daft Punk/Radiohead is the one I was referring to as #1
Upcoming: 05/25/13 - Fleetwood Mac - Hollywood Bowl (Hollywood, CA); 05/29/13 - Arctic Monkeys - Sunshine Theater (Albuquerque, NM); 05/30/13 - The Postal Service - Red Rocks (Morrison, CO); Bjork performing Biophilia - 06/02/13 - Hollywood Palladium (Hollywood, CA); Bjork - 06/11/13 - Hollywood Bowl (Hollywood, CA);

Thread: Stocking idea's for 80g tank
I waited for him to eat it, and i waited...he never did! lol
The anticipation was killing me.
Just my .02 on tank set up
Dark substrate - like black diamond or black eco substrate
Live plants - low light, to med light ones
A school of say 8-10 boesemani rainbows
A school of a light color cory of your choice (albino, peppered etc)
A school of cardinal tetra (20 ish)
Probably 8-10 otos (once tank established)
I think that'd be such a good amount of color, the greens of the plants, blues and yellows in rainbows, reds of the cardinals, the black and white of substrate and corys...
I may have just designed my next tank ;)55g: DG, 10 Parva Rainbow, 5 GBR, 3 Oto, 6 Sterbai, 5 Platies, RCS
10g: RCS, 10 Boraras Brigittae; 10g: 2 Calico BN Pleco; 10g: 4 Sterbai
MY 55G SET UP , MY DUAL 10g SHRIMP BUILD
55: Amazon Sword, C. Red Wendtii, J Fern, Wisteria, Hygrophila Angustifolia, Moneywort, A. Nana, Subwassertang, Microswords, Sag Chilensis, Gold Lloydiella, Phoenix Moss
10: Crystal Vals, Dwarf Sag, A. Coffeefolia, Phoenix Moss
80 gallons ia very nice size tank, and your stocking options are greatly increased. Also your Resun SP 2500L is a submersable pump, not a filter, and is most likely attached to an undergravel filter. I would need to defer to folks more knowledgeable than myself to evaluate the effectiveness of your setup and tank size.
Personally I am not a fan of a cichlid tank, I find the variety in a community tank is more fun in the long run.
There are a lot of things to consider, and sometimes the long term entertainment value of the tank is not the most obvious right off the bat.
Some people like a lot of movement and a lot of fish, while others like the larger more colorful show peices. My personal preference is to have a variety of fish shapes and swim levels.
If I were to make a spontaneous stocking recommendation.....
14 Black Neon Tetras
14 Cardinal Tetras
10 Rummy Nose Tetras
8 Leopard Cories
2 Koi Angelfish
2 Pearlscale Angelfish
8 Odessa Barbs
1 Farlowella Catfish
1 Gold Nugget Pleco
6 Zebra Nerite Snails
6 Oto Catfish
I like the Rainbowfish idea. You can usualy find Boesemani and Dwarf neon but if you could find some Parva/Lake Kurumoi , they would realy set off your tank.

Hardy85 I really like that idea! With the cichlids I have they don't have much colour and they won't allow me to put plant's in without them digging them up or eating them! So it's a very rock and wood tank so I'm excited about getting in some colour! I love cory's and I really do want some rainbows. I love the look of the banded and the crimson spotted rainbows :-) If I had a large tank I would get an Arowana in a heartbeat, I just lovve their big scales and the rainbows remind me of them (in a larger scale kind of way) so that's why I am interested in them :-)
But he did, It's in the last 10 seconds or so that he was munching down.
To be fair he was in no hurry as that was his third big worm in that meal, He does love some delicious nightcrawlers though If I chop them into 1" chunks he eats them like popcorn.
It doesn't look like you are going this route but... I wouldn't put 4 mature angels in an 80 unless you have mated pairs, I had two mated pairs in my 90 but it was heavily planted and had few sightlines and lots of cover. I did once put another angel in there because he needed a time out from beating on his GF in a 55 and in 24 hours they beat him up so bad he later died from his injuries. It was entirely my fault, He couldn't get out of either pairs territory.My GF calls me insincere... I pretend to care.

Sounds like a fun project.
If you were thinking of peaceful chiclids, I have blood parrots, severums, a blue angel, congos, jurupari geophagus, one GBR and 1 dw gourami and swordtails in my 90 along with 3 apple snails. TONS of color and movement. there's a video link on around page 29 of my journal (link in my signature line) You wouldn't be able to have plants though - the sevs would destroy them :o)
Good luck and be sure to post pics when you get set up.Last edited by fishmommie; 01-30-2013 at 04:49 AM.

5x Bandit Cory's
7x Albino Cory's

It only takes one ride past Café Hollander in Wauwatosa to see that it has become one of the anchor destinations in this thriving village.
On a summer night, patrons spill out onto the bridge that spans the Menomonee River, creating an idyllic scene that any restaurant would covet.
Opened in June of 2009, Café Hollander is part of the locally owned Lowlands Group that also owns several other restaurants in the Milwaukee area. It's a casual spot that attracts everyone from families with children to young professionals looking for a hip place to hang out for a few drinks.
"Café Hollander is a Belgium-themed café that focuses on Belgian beer and pub food," explains Tony Chiccarello, one of the managers. Some of the signature dishes include: The Grand Café Club sandwich ($11.95), Benelux meatloaf ($13.95) and the blackberry turkey sandwich ($10.95). They also offer salads and breakfast items and brunch on weekends.
In just a few short years, Café Hollander has become such a draw in the Wauwatosa village that they have truly become a business magnet in the community. So, it's not surprising that they are proud of their work giving back to several community organizations, such as nearby Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
But it's more than just food and philanthropy that makes a restaurant popular.
"It's in our mission statement," says Chiccarello. "The owners believe that people come back because of the staff and the relationships they form with customers."
Based on the popularity of the restaurant, it's clear that the staff at Café Hollander has successfully accomplished that mission.
"Grab a Bite" is an informal look at the food scene in the Wauwatosa, Brookfield and Elm Grove area by freelance writer Karen Waldkirch. Whether you're looking for a place for a date night or a casual spot for lunch, Waldkirch will be out and about scouting eateries for you.

Sicilian Sashimi
Prior to World War II, tuna fisherman would tether nets to the ocean floor off the Southern Coast of Sicily. Since the waters between Sicily and North Africa are shallow, the fish already have less room to swim through the channel so the nets would serve as a labyrinth to confuse them. The honored, strongest swimmers amongst the fishermen would chase the fish into coves and when the fish grew weary, the fishermen would bop them on the heads and pull them out of the water to eat.
When selecting your tuna, choose a piece that you will be able to cut at least 2" across, against the grain of the meat.
Wrap tuna tightly in plastic and freeze for one hour. Remove from freezer when fish is firm, but not solid.
Use a sharp knife to cut the fish into slices of 1/8" thick or as thin as possible. Marinade the slices of fish in Rotture di Oro in a sealed container atop a bed of ice. Refrigerate the sealed container for 30 minutes.
Remove tuna from fridge and arrange on a plate. Drizzle Rotture di Oro over tuna. Sprinkle with Trapani sea salt. Garnish with basil leaves and lemon.

Great research material to support my thoughts on women successfully raising sons. Read full review
the perception that is portrayed in this book is truly exemplified in our everyday community. the concept that most of the men of our generations are just boys putting on a masquerade that they are men. they may have the physical attributes but the mental and psychological aspects are not there.
