What GAO Found
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), implemented the durable medical equipment (DME) competitive bidding programs (CBP) bidding process for the round 1 rebid. Nearly the same number of suppliers submitted a similar number of bids for both the CBP round 1 rebid and round 1. Many suppliers continued to have difficulty complying with financial documentation requirements; however, the number of bids disqualified in the round 1 rebid was significantly less than for round 1. After being notified of their bid results, some suppliers were found to have bids that were disqualified incorrectly and were subsequently offered round 1 rebid contracts. About one-third of the bidding suppliers were awarded CBP contracts.
Relatively few CBP contract suppliers (those awarded CBP contracts) had their contracts terminated by CMS, voluntarily canceled their contracts, or were involved in ownership changes. Under the CBP, non-contract suppliers (those not awarded CBP contracts) can grandfather certain rental DME for beneficiaries they were servicing prior to the implementation of CBP until CBP-covered beneficiaries rental periods expire. Also, some CBP contract suppliers entered into subcontracting agreements with non-contract suppliers to furnish certain services to CBP-covered beneficiaries in the round 1 rebid.
CMSs ongoing multiple monitoring activities generally indicate that beneficiary DME access and satisfaction have not been affected by CBP. Although some of these efforts have limitations, in the aggregate, they provide useful information to CMS regarding beneficiary access and satisfaction.
Early data indicate that utilization has decreased in some CBP-covered DME categories. GAOs review of Medicare claims data found that fewer beneficiaries in competitive bidding areas received some CBP-covered items in any of the first six months of 2011 than in the same month of 2010.
Although the first year of the CBP round 1 rebid has been completed, it is too soon to determine its full effects on Medicare beneficiaries and DME suppliers. GAO found that, in general, the round 1 rebid was successfully implemented. GAO also found that utilization of selected DME declined in the CBP areas; while there are many possible reasons for this, it does not necessarily indicate that beneficiaries have not had access to needed DME. GAO does not assume that all pre-CBP utilization was appropriate and the CBP may have reduced unnecessary utilization of DME. More experience with DME competitive bidding is needed, particularly to see if evidence of beneficiary access problems emerges. For that reason, it is important to continue monitoring changes in the number of suppliers serving CBP-covered beneficiaries.
In commenting on a draft of this report, HHS noted that the CBP round 1 rebid resulted in savings of more than $200 million in its first year. HHS also cited the results of CMSs monitoring of beneficiaries access to DME in CBP areas as evidence that the CBP did not affect beneficiaries adversely.
Why GAO Did This Study
To achieve Medicare savings for DME, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) required that CMS implement the CBP for certain DME. In 2008, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) terminated the first round of supplier contracts and required CMS to repeat the CBP round 1referred to as the round 1 rebid, resulting in the award of contracts to suppliers with payments that began January 1, 2011. CMS has estimated that the rebid will lead to significant savings for Medicare.
MIPPA requires GAO to examine certain aspects of the CBP. In this report, GAO reviews (1) the outcomes of the CBP round 1 rebid process; (2) the effect of the CBP round 1 rebid on DME suppliers; (3) how the CBP round 1 rebid has affected Medicare beneficiary access to and satisfaction with selected DME; and (4) the extent to which the CBP round 1 rebid has affected the utilization of selected DME items.
To examine CBP outcomes and effects, GAO analyzed data from CMS and its feedback provided to bidding suppliers, analyzed 2011 CBP data about different types of suppliers, and interviewed CMS and CBP contractor officials, DME industry groups, and suppliers. To examine CBPs effects on beneficiary access, GAO analyzed Medicare claims data for the first six months of 2011 because the data for those months were the most complete, and compared it to the same months in 2010.

2 Hummers in the Buffalo /Niagara Region
penny1947(z6 WNY)October 22, 2006
Just saw a post from Carol in Amherst on our forum titled October Surprise that she also has a hummer which showed up after our surprise snow storm. There may still be others out there too as there were still several reports coming down from Ontario prior to the storm.
Please leave your feeders up and don't cut your plants back yet. Neither of our two hummers will use a feeder. They are dependent on the plants.

Warmups: Seguin 3rd line, Peverley 1st
June, 8, 2011
By James Murphy | ESPNBoston.com
David Lefort/ESPNBoston.com The Bruins and Canucks on the ice for pregame warmups.BOSTON -- If all goes according to pregame warmups, Tyler Seguin will be back on the right wing of the third line with Chris Kelly at center and Michael Ryder on the left wing.
Seguin seemed to blend well with Ryder in his first two playoff games, but then went without a point in his last seven games, winding up on the fourth line before he was scratched in Game 3 in favor of Shawn Thornton.
Meanwhile, Rich Peverley looks like he will take Nathan Horton's spot on the top line. Here's what the forward lines looked like in warmups for Game 4:
Milan Lucic – David Krejci – Rich Peverley
Brad Marchand – Patrice Bergeron – Mark Recchi
Michael Ryder – Chris Kelly – Tyler Seguin
Daniel Paille – Gregory Campbell – Shawn Thornton

^^ ah... so basically, i should keep on leveling them up until it say "sth is about to happen to the skill ________, do you allow it to continue?"
and then replace the skills?

#43dmljrPosted 10/13/2007 2:29:49 AMmessage detail
actually I meant see if they can learn more than 8 skills. and what skills can they learn
because if they are going to learn status skills then its no help. when they go to learn the 9th skill it will ask you to choose a skill to forget.
as you were saying not all skills can do that and it completely random what you get so that would probaly not help.
it might be easier to refuse those persona with keeping in mind what skills you want to keep out of the final product.

am trying to make a 4 element -ra pale rider on FES, but i've hit the block.
Ose in FES is lv 44 by default instead of lv 22, is there any other combi for an agilao orpheus? or do i have no other choice?
Also, the 4 element alice at the top seems weird. The fusion recommendations is like (a) x (b), where (a) has all the skills needed, but (b) has none.

nobody? T_T

I think most of us don't have FES, so can't help you there.
oh yea also Tag for later use :)
#49Turkish01Posted 10/14/2007 12:58:49 PMmessage detail
HaimerejZero - I don't have FES but try this:
Unless they changed this too, Jack Lantern (Pyro Jack) learns Agilao at level 19
Orpheus+Apsaras+Jack Lantern(Agilao) = Legion(Agilao)
Fuse this Legion with a Slime for Orpheus
I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out. - Bill Hicks
#50HaimerejZeroPosted 10/14/2007 4:45:26 PMmessage detail
Thanks, i played around and did manage to get Agilao into Orpheus.
But there's a slight problem with the pale raider fusion, rather than fusing Oberon with zionga from take-migatsuchi, you can actually use take-migatsuchi directly.
Take-magatsuchi(zionga)+genbu(bufura)+orpheus(agilao) = pale rider.

On Saturday, hosting the DMVElite Holiday Tip-off, Charles H. Flowers High School basketball coach Mark Edwards had a chance to get a glimpse of Thursday night's opponent, Bowie.
The Bulldogs impressed during the tournament, dominating Arundel, 71-39, in a game that was never really close.
"They're always good," he said. "They always got good guards."
Unfortunately for Edwards, that scouting report proved prophetic on Thursday, as Bowie's guards recorded 62 of 66 points in a 66-54 win over the Jaguars in the opening Prince George's 4A League heavyweight contest of the season.
"Overall, I think our guard play is strong," Bowie coach Cedric Holbrook said. "It just puts us in a position to be successful and that's all that really matters. At the end of the day, that's all that matters."
As he did in the opener against Arundel, point guard Jared Gray led the Bulldogs, scoring 24 points on just 13 shots and thwarting every press or defensive wrinkle Edwards threw his way. Backcourt partner Dejuan Smith added 13, Cory Washington another 10, and sophomore Christian Bryant, Gray's backup, chipped in nine more.
The game personified the disparate styles of play between Flowers and Bowie. While Holbrook's team relies heavily on guards for the brunt of the offensive production, Edwards looks to his frontcourt in Clint Robinson and forward Patrick Johnson.
Together, the two combined for 35 points (18 for Robinson, 17 for Johnson) and got to the free throw line 22 times, though they made just 11. That was essentially how the night went for the Jaguars. All in all, Flowers would make 39 trips to the stripe, capitalizing on just 22, half of which came from Devin Shuler, who finished 11-of-13 in scoring 15 points.
"That's pretty good," Edwards said. "We would like to get to the free throw line that many times every game but we would like to make more."
During several stretches of the game, Flowers' only source of points, however badly it may have been shooting, was from the free throw line. When the Jaguars went cold, as they did on a number of occasions, Bowie stretched the lead further. Midway through the third quarter, the Bulldogs ran off a 10-0 run in less than two minutes, stretching the cushion to double-figures for the first time. Flowers drew within a possession several times but could never quite bring it all the way back, and the Bulldogs effectively protected their lead.
"I feel like I have a mismatch every time," Gray said. "I feel like I can go by everybody who can guard me. That's why I feel like I can score whenever."
Holbrook was visibly pleased with his team's effort, especially that of Gray, who has now scored 43 points on just 25 shots this season. Suitland awaits tomorrow in another 4A clash while Flowers gets its second of three games in a row with Bladensburg to be followed by Goretti on Saturday.
"That was a high quality opponent," Holbrook said. "Flowers has an outstanding team. They have a very good team — great size, great athleticism. We basically played toe-to-toe with them."
Bowie 66, Charles H. Flowers 54
Bowie 17 17 17 15 — 66
Flowers 12 17 16 9 — 54
Bowie (2-0, 1-0): Jared Gray 24, Dejuan Smith 13, Cory Washington 10, Christian Bryant 9, Kade Monroe 6, Everett Chambers 2, Anthony Barnes 2.
Flowers (1-1, 0-1): Clint Robinson 18, Patrick Johnson 17, Devin Shuler 15, Johnson Ogunyoye 2.

While his nurse is excellent, his "bedside manner" is virtually non-exsistent. He is very dominant, cool, and uncaring. This was the most painful experience I have ever had, and I have had this procedure done a few times elsewhere in the past. I will NOT go back.

In southern Florida, Mike Diaz has been evolving MillionYoung from a promising synth-pop project into something that doesn't really fit into that whole "chillwave" category so much as it captures the image those of us living in colder climates have of warm nights and lazy days in tropical climates. Florida was pretty much ground zero for death metal and the starting point for both Tom Petty and Limp Bizkit. MillionYoung, however, is almost the polar opposite of any of that stuff, using guitars to weave gentle textures and generating rippling melodies over the top of soul-inflected, new-wave dance songs. Akin to breezy electro-pop outfits like Small Black and Washed Out, MillionYoung nevertheless has a flavor all its own.

Out and About - Grape Stomp
The Carlos Creek Winery Grape Stomp didn't let a steady rain on Saturday dampen the weekend-long celebration. About 12,500 attended, which is down slightly from last year's 15,000. Crowds still enjoyed the musical entertainment, wine, stomping competitions, food vendors, arts and crafts, and a new feature this year — the Great American Lumberjack Show. The lumberjacks even took time to autograph wood chips for their fans.

Super Mario 3D World has just hit the stores across North America and Japan, and to celebrate, Nintendo has released a brand new trailer.

The trailer is filled with positive quotes from publications, which match the great reviews the game has received over the past week.
What started as a so-and-so Mario game showcased at E3, where it got little attention, has turned into a must-have Wii U game. Especially if you're a Mario fan. Have you tried Super Mario 3D World yet? Share your thoughts in the comments section!

We had a think about some of the youth cultures the iconic trainers have played a part in, then recreated the best ones with models and a camera.
Here are some of the lame things I learnt while competing in the show.
Eva Mendes claimed the notoriously comfortable leg coverings were the number one cause of divorce in America, which led to the traditional three-day internet firestorm.

For years, young people from Indonesia to China have been dressing up like Nazis, buying Hitler-adorned merchandise and embracing "swastikawaii."
To find out what it's like for minorities working in the fashion industry, we reached out some prominent people of colour who are involved in modelling, styling, editing, designing and photography.
Doppelgängers look even more similar when you dress them in exactly the same clothes as each other.
It was a fairly staid season with most designers showing a commercial prerogative rather than a conceptual one. Yet, if you read between the lines, there was more than meets the eye.
Which of 2014's flash-in-the-pan trends will be slightly less embarrassing to look back on in ten years' time?

DEFINITION of 'Capital Maintenance'
An accounting concept based on the principle that income is only recognized after capital has been maintained or there has been a full recovery of costs. Capital maintenance has been reached if the amount of a company's capital at the end of a period is unchanged from that at the beginning of the period, with any excess amount treated as profit.
As capital maintenance is mainly concerned with an enterprise's definition of the capital sought to be maintained by it, the concept distinguishes between the enterprise's return on capital and its return of capital.
The two basic definitions of capital maintenance are financial capital maintenance and physical capital maintenance.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Capital Maintenance'
According to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), under the definition of financial capital maintenance, a profit is earned only if the amount of net assets at the end of a period exceeds the amount at the beginning of the period, excluding any inflows from or outflows to owners, such as contributions and distributions. It can be measured either in nominal monetary units or constant purchasing power units.
The definition of physical capital maintenance, according to the IFRS, implies that a profit is earned only if the enterprise's productive or operating capacity at the end of a period exceeds the capacity at the beginning of the period, excluding any owners' contributions or distributions.

Configuring Cloud Backups
An important item to set up on your
Cloud Servers
is the backup schedule. Joseph Palumbo has this as one of his
first five things to consider
when starting a cloud project, and I couldn't agree more. Rackspace's
Cloud Backup
requires just a little bit of work to get going, but once it's running you can rest easy knowing that your data is being regularly backed up.

Rackspace Cloud Backup: Be Ready For The Unexpected
We've all been there: your monitor flickers, a blue screen pops up, the whir of the server hard drive goes silent and whatever it was that you were working on is long gone. You may be able to dig back into the recesses of your hard drive and recover an early-stage version; but that's if you're lucky.

Travel Blogs from Yorktown
Made it down the bay overnight
... for poor visibility we were ducking in and out of the channel to avoid Navy traffic.
During the trip down anything that wasn't fastened down below ended up on the floor in the salon. Left Annapolis at 2 Monday and arrived at Top Rack Marina at about 2 this afternoon. Rewarded ourselves with a great dinner out at the Amber Lantern Restaurant. Early to bed. Up at 5:30 tomorrow to get underway at first light.
Necessary roughness
... br> As we contemplated our impending life in Zimbabwe, we considered the lessons we may learn from the colonial trailblazers in Williamsburg: Devika hooted and hollered, celebrating the freedom to use her "outside voice;" Neela embodied the Protestant work ethic as she doggedly wiggled her first loose tooth; Chaaya was the very personification of British stoicism as she admirably withstood a wicked yellow jacket sting with barely a whisper. Our work here was done. ...
Yorktown, Virginia
... who really did well in their high school American History class (or who watched "The Patriot" movie, for that matter) may remember this, but for those who don't, here's what was happening: By 1781, Virginia was in trouble. Benedict Arnold had attacked Richmond, and Jefferson contacted Washington, who was in New York, to come back and defend his native state. Washington was busy fighting the British where he was, so he sent back the marquis de Lafayette ...
... poor effort to tie it...
When we got out of the water we laid in the sun and then played some bocci ball. That was a good time :) We weren't there too long though. We left to bring Joel's stuff back to his house and hung out with his family for a little while talking about the cruise and how much fun we all had. Everyone told embarrassing stories about my dancing, Joe's sexy man competition and Dipan's salsa skills! We were all wishing we could go back...
The Last Great Battle for Freedom!
... during the Revolutionary War over 30,000 men died. Twenty-five thousand of them died due to sickness and disease.
Today Yorktown has an encampment set up much like you would have seen during the Revolutionary war. There were white tents all in a line for soldiers. A larger tent for General Washington which had a bed, desk, chests and tables in it. We were also able to watch an artillery demonstration about how a musket was ...

Baseball: K-W doubles up on Lake City
LAKE CITY – Hitting the ball the other way is something one rarely sees in high school baseball. Sure, some batted balls end up as slicing base hits, though often it's due to late swings. To see a player or two actually use the opposite field as a weapon is something typically reserved for higher levels.
And to witness an entire lineup use the strategy? Well, that's uncommon for almost any league.

We've seen crazy calorie counts before, but this one is truly insane.
When Men's Health contributor Sarah Jacobsson Purewal sat down for a family meal at Cracker Barrel, she was shocked when she used the My Fitness Pal app to check the nutrition stats for CB's Baked Apple Dumplin.
According to My Fitness Pal, this dish packs 3,229 calories. Yes, 3,229!
To double-check those numbers, we visited the Cracker Barrel website, hoping that perhaps My Fitness Pal was wrong.
There was no such information on the site. But we did find this FAQ:
Is nutritional information available for your menu items?
Here at Cracker Barrel, we pride ourselves on using recipes and ingredients that are genuine and of the highest quality available. We strive to prepare and present these food items to you in a way that upholds those authentic traditions of days gone by.
Cracker Barrel certainly understands the health-conscious concerns that some of our guests have. While we are currently unable to provide exact calorie or fat content information for our entire menu, the following choices may help you in your selection. You can get very specific nutritional information on some select dishes at both weightwatchers.com and healthydiningfinder.com
Well, thanks for that Cracker Barrel. In other words: "We're not going to tell you calorie counts because you would FREAK OUT!"
Seriously. The only reason Cracker Barrel is "unable to provide exact calorie or fat content information" is because they don't want to. Or perhaps because they haven't been forced to. Which is cool—that's the company's right. But if you don't want to provide nutrition information, we say, just don't provide it—and save us the lame excuse in your FAQ section.
On a side note, Sarah challenged her 26-year-old brother Timmy—who's competing in the CrossFit Regionals in Asia in a few weeks—to see if he could actually eat the entire Baked Apple Dumplin in 10 minutes. And you know how it is: When your sister lays down a dare, you can't just walk away. So he put in his order.
And . . . he was successful.
We had two questions for Timmy:
1. How did it taste?
"It was okay. I thought it would be denser, considering the calorie count, but the dumpling part was actually pretty light and fluffy. It wasn't amazing, though. I'd say the ice cream was the best part."
2. How did you feel afterward?
"I felt fine! But I ate it at 10 a.m. and I wasn't hungry for about 10 hours. My mom was convinced I was going to go into diabetic shock."
Glad that didn't happen. For what it's worth, the company line from most restaurants on such desserts is that they're not meant for one person—they're meant to be shared. Fair enough: Even if you split this dumpling dish between four people, you'll still be putting away 807 calories.

NBA fans outside of Chicago may or may not have taken notice in February of the death of Chicago Bulls legend Johnny "Red" Kerr. Kerr was a longtime broadcaster for the Bulls and the team's first coach. Casual fans of the game might recognize him best as the guy in whose face Michael Jordan clapped chalk at the start of every game, but Kerr spent the majority of his life - entire life, not just professional life - working in one capacity or another for the storied NBA franchise, including 33 years as color commentator on the team's telecasts.
But before Kerr was a coach and commentator, he was an NBA veteran center. In fact, at one point he held the record for most consecutive games played in the NBA; the man was pro basketball's Cal Ripken, Jr. Baseball fans in the 1990s remember Ripken's dogged pursuit of Lou Gehrig's consecutive-games record and the utter joy amongst most baseball fans and in the media when he broke one of the game's most sacred and seemingly-impossible records. Now, imagine that Ripken had been forcibly denied that record - not by injuries, but by a spiteful coach. Because that's what happened to Johnny "Red" Kerr.
CNN columnist Bob Greene has long been accused of maudlin sentimentality in his columns, and today's column regarding Kerr's injustice is no different. That doesn't excuse the raw deal a legend like Kerr got:
One night, the night that would have been his 845th straight game, he came to the arena for a contest against the Boston Celtics. His new coach in Baltimore — Paul Seymour — didn't start him, which was unusual. Red figured that Seymour just wanted to change the rotation a little. He figured that he would get into the game after the first time out.
"But I sat on the bench," Red told me, "and the first quarter went by, and the second, and the third."
This was a man who had played in more consecutive basketball games than anyone in history. The captain of the team. He wasn't injured. He wasn't sick."The fourth quarter went by," Red told me. "We were losing — that's the worst part, the team could have used my help. I looked at the clock, and I just got this terrible, sinking feeling in my stomach."
At the end, he said, he couldn't even look — he had his head down. The game concluded; the streak that had meant more to him than anything else in his professional life was over.
Imagine the outrage if Cal Ripken had been forced to ride the pine one game. Sure, back in Kerr's days, coaches were the end-all be-all of team authority; what they say, went - heck, they usually made more money than their players. When Kerr's record was broken in 1982 by Randy Smith (whose record was subsequently broken by the virginal A.C. Green), Kerr died a little inside. That's a surprise for anyone who ever encountered Kerr, and is perhaps why this story resonates with me.
A little background: despite growing up outside Chicago in the 1980s, I was never a huge sports fan until the Chicago Bulls first became dominant in the early 1990s. They were the original reason I became interested in sports. On a family vacation in early 1995, I had the fortune of meeting Johnny Kerr in the lobby of the Anaheim Hilton while the Bulls were in town for a game with the Los Angeles Clippers at Arrowhead Pond. I was nobody; I was a short, insecure high school freshman. Kerr put me at ease, recalling times he'd been to my hometown and asking me about my family and my interest in sports apart from the Bulls. He's the reason I worked in professional sports after college, and indirectly one of the reasons I'm writing this post right now.
So to hear that something so dear to Kerr was brutally ripped from him by an egomaniacal coach was something I was surprised to hear. Many players would take a slight like that and refuse to play, or refuse to show up to practice. Not Kerr. Nobody even knew that this had happened until late in his life. Yes, Greene is as sappy and saccharine as columnists come - he's been criticized on that aspect for years - but I can't help but feel for Kerr. As Greene says in his column, we've all had crappy bosses, and maybe that's just one more way that Kerr can connect with the common fan as he did so many times in his long career.


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OriginGuy Kopski was a Gotham State University student who was dating fellow psychiatry major Harleen Quinzel (who would later become Harley Quinn) and whom he often referred to as "Quinz".During his senior year Kopski wrote his thesis paper on Chaos Theory and at the same time was developing a formula for a new "Think Drink" that he was thinking of selling to the market one day.A bit of a joker himself, he would read articles from the newspaper to Harleen not only to make her laugh but for his own amusement as well and one of the articles that he reads to her happens to feature the Joker. He seemed to have had a very good relationship with Harleen and the couple loved each other very much to the extent of being willing to do anything for each other (something that would prove very fatal later on in their relationship).Knowing that Harleen was failing her classes, her department chair Dr. Markus proposed that she conduct an experiment under his supervision as a step into securing her entrance into grad school. Using her thesis of Love and Crime as the basis of the experiment, Harleen decides to use her boyfriend to test her theory. Believing that she had the whole experiment under her control, Harleen decides to "test" Kopski's love for her by making up a scenario in which she blackmails her department chair into passing her, or she would accuse him of attempting to rape her should he fail to acquiesce. In the same scenario Dr. Markus records her blackmailing him and pulls out a gun on her to kill her. Attempting to take the gun away from his hands, Harleen ends up shooting him by accident and runs away from the cops in a stolen vehicle until she loses them. Believing his girlfriend's tale without question, Kopski takes off with a loaded gun to finish off Dr. Markus before Harleen has a chance to find out if he'd still love her despite what she did. Knowing that her experiment failed, Harleen goes after Kopski to stop him from Killing Dr. Markus and to tell him that nothing she said really happened, only to find out that she is too late and that he has already killed an innocent man. Horrified at his own crime, Kopski tries to explain to Harleen that he only wanted to protect her when he accidentally shot a homeless man to death thinking he was Markus. Knowing that he's going to live with the guilt of having killed an innocent man for the rest of his life, Kopski points the gun to himself threatens to commit suicide. Harleen tearfully tries to talk him out of killing himself by telling him that she loves him, but pulls the trigger anyway telling her "do it because you love me".In her despair, a grief-stricken Harleen goes back to trash her dorm room realizing that her boyfriend was right about people not always being in control of things. She then decides that the only other person who understands that is the Joker and decides that she wants to meet with him by interning at Arkham. She then blackmails Markus into passing her to get into grad school by using a recorded tape as evidence that he was in fact in her dorm room.Harleen later finds out as Harley Quinn that Dr. Markus had been responsible for Kopski's suicide when he poured diluted Joker venom into his "Think Drink" thus leading to his irrational behavior. She avenges his death by tormenting Markus and leaves him to his fate when he accidentally gets the Joker venom on himself in his attempt to kill Quinn with it.

Long hair vs short hair
Started by Peridot , Feb 23 2013 07:56 PM

Posted 23 February 2013 - 07:56 PM
Help! I can't decide! 50% of my hair is long, past my bra line at the back, the other 50% sits a bit past my shoulders. I've noticed it's started taking longer to dry and do my hair each day. I'm at the guy most nights and go running, so wash my hair most days. I'm thinking of cutting it to be shoulder length and layered, so it will be easier to wash and dry etc.But I think I'll miss my long hair, especially when going out somewhere..How do you get past this? Anyone had a similar dilemma?

chop it!!
You will love the change and how it feels. That has been my experience anyway. Most important thing is a good hairdresser who you trust.
Posted 23 February 2013 - 08:07 PM
My hubby just said "just go and cut it!" LOL
At the moment I use it as an excuse to not exercise twice a day, as I can't shower twice a day because it takes two hours to dry! So I think he figures, and I can see it too, that my health is more important at the moment than my looks? If that makes sense.. Argh I don't know.. I'm here stressing about my hair when there are people here with far worse problems in their lives!
Posted 23 February 2013 - 08:08 PM
What's your hair like Peridot? Thick, thin, easy to manage? Do you have/want a fringe? How do you normally do it when you go out?
Posted 23 February 2013 - 08:08 PM
I don't trust hairdressers lol! I'd be doing it myself.. I've cut my own hair for the past 6 years! And my daughters hair, and my hubby's
Posted 23 February 2013 - 08:12 PM
Normally when I go out, I just spray it with hairspray and bunch it up in my hands, and it just hangs in a mass of waves which looks awesome. If I were to cut it, I'd thin it out an awful lot, as it is very thick, and curly in random spots, like psycho curls that don't know which way they're going to curl, and I would put in a fringe or a side fringe, not too thick though, and a lot of layers to help with drying. I'd straighten it most days and tie it up for school and work, and leave it out for days at home, and I could pin the fringe up for exercise, and leave it down for going out?
We only go out like once a month, if that! So I don't know.. It's a tie dye of bright red and brown at the moment
Posted 23 February 2013 - 08:18 PM
Shoulder length sounds perfect, especially when you're going to the gym so often and washing it every day. Good for you for being able to cut it yourself! I cut my own too, but am not nearly so confident about it. I really don't know what I'm doing.

Posted 23 February 2013 - 08:18 PM
Two years ago I cut mine quite short and loved it but the up keep was more than I could handle, it was too short to tie back so always needed styling. Now it's almost bra strap length and i mostly always braid it or tie it back, and as I go to the gym most days I wash it more than I would like to. Mine is on the thin side so does not take forever to dry, still I am tempted to cut it back to the short layered bob (but long enough to be able to tie back ). When mine grew to the stage I could mostly tie it back I used to twist and pin the front back or do fringe braids for the gym, I found it very easy to manage.
I say do it!
Posted 23 February 2013 - 08:29 PM
Jim exactly the same OP! My hair is waist length and as much as I'd love to cut it I'm torn. I'm getting older and am saddened by the fact that it'll be the last time I'll have long hair.
I wear it up every single day and get headaches (I'm sure it's from my hair) but it's also my security blanket in a way.... I keep thinking how lovely it looks when I go out and it's done properly (generally straightened by blow drying only - takes too long to straighten properly), but, I never go anywhere....
DH bought me a hair voucher with a number of different salon visits but I think my 'style cut' will probably end up being a trim.
So I say 'go for it', be more adventurous than I am....
Posted 23 February 2013 - 08:38 PM
Argh this is awful... I just went and played with it, and I'm back to square one!
Posted 23 February 2013 - 10:43 PM
I did it
And I'm happy about it at the moment! I will update in a week!
Posted 23 February 2013 - 10:49 PM

I had thick hair down to my shoulder blades up until last Friday. It was frizzy from being bleached to death, it was boring and I was rockin' a blonde/black regrowth that would give a hooker a run for her money. I looked in the mirror last Friday and said "Christ, not you again.' (Was feeling rather depressed) Went straight to the salon, I now have an awesome undercut/chin length concave bob. It's black with bright purple chunks and is incredibly badass. Haven't gotten used to it being shaved underneath yet though. It's light, thin and awesome.

Personally I get a restyle everytime I meet a goal (atm its weight loss )
Posted 24 February 2013 - 06:14 AM
Yay! Well done, and remember you CAN always grow it back! I have cut my hair for the past 6 or so years too, but I was straightening (very curly hair) every day so it was easier to get away with. Now that I have two bambinos I don't have time for straight hair so I just went and got a hairdresser to chop it all short and cut it properly for the curl and also show me how to style it. You could always treat yourself to a salon cut just once, then maintain it yourself after that.
Love the PP with the purple and undercut! Yay!
Posted 24 February 2013 - 07:22 AM
wow OP, you don't faff about do you im mega impressed, I lulled over my chop for a good week, and looked at so many pictures, saving them to my tablet so i was armed for my visit to the hairdresser......mind you even then I had to go back a few days later for some alterations. How handy to be able to do it yourself, if I could cut my own hair it would definitely get cut more often.though, knowing me the inspiration would always come after a bottle of red and.....well, it wouldn't end well.
Im sure your going to llove it, will be so much easier to dry.

that sounds excellent. I have a hair appointment later today and am wanting to do something a bit more stylish with my boring dark brown curly long hair.
Though, I have a wedding to go to in 2 weeks, so if I do anything too radical and it looks terrible I will be mortified LOL

well done OP! I was coming in to say chop it to shoulder length (or an inch or two below shoulder length) and see how you go.
Post a pic!!

I have ear-chin length blonde semi-curls (not tight). I promised my mother I wouldn't dye my hair for a year to get sponsorship for World's Greatest Shave, an dI can see the date looming.... 3 weeks to go!!
I'm considering getting red under-panels put in so I have colour without regrowth issues.
Tea-Rex, I would LOVE to see what you have, I can't find anything that quite shows what I want on google yet
Posted 24 February 2013 - 01:45 PM
Well, I have had my hair coloured a bit darker, with a reddish tint through it
I got a fringe cut
and the back/sides into a medium length concave bob.
Hairdresser straightened it, so it's longer than it will be 'natural', but there was a hell of a lot of hair on the floor when we had finished!
