When winter comes, people tend to become so careless, their hair and clothes get stuck in a rut. But you can break out of your everyday, ordinary hair ‘do with these 5 styles. See more at Glamour.

The Touchable Half-Up Curly ‘Do like Garcelle Beauvais
If you find your curly haircut springing up, down and all around, just pull the top portion back into a sleek half-up ‘do and we doubt you’ll ever have another bad hair day, lovelies!

The Glam Mini Cornrows like Joy Bryant
Instead of braiding cornrows all the way around, add a few subtle braids to the sides of your center part. Take a piece of hair about as wide as your index finger and braid from the top to halfway down. Secure with an invisible hair tie and spray all over with a shine-enhancing spray like Bumble & Bumble Shine Spray.

The Twisty Short-Hair Updo like Katerina Graham
Spray a styling product like Nexxus Root Extent on the roots of wet hair, blow-dry and curl all around using a 1-inch-barrel curling iron to help give hair a bit of swirl. After teasing the crown, take random 3-inch sections, swirl hair—like the shape of a cinnamon bun—and secure with bobby pins. The fringe should be gently teased, smoothed with your fingers and spritzed with shine-enhancing hairspray.

The Styled Pixie Haircut like Halle Berry
Add a dime-size amount of sculpting paste such as Shu Uemura Art of Hair Shape Paste’s to freshly shampooed hair to define the layers. Take a mini flatiron to give a few pieces a little bit of a bend. If halfway through the evening you notice your cute hair deflating, keep a mini bottle of alcohol-free hand sanitizer gel to dab on to reactivate your hair products.

The Mod French Braid like Eva Longoria
Tuck the tail of a French braid underneath to create this gorgeous updo. Start by making a thin rectangular section on the top of your head from hairline to crown and clip it away. Divide the rest of the hair to make a loose French braid, secure with a clear elastic and fold the tail under using bobby pins. Remove your clip, brush back and blast generously with hairspray.

“If you’re a fan of HBO’s original programming, you already know that Kid Cudi makes appearances in “How To Make It In America.”

Off of the success from that, Crudi decided to make a movie. An artsy movie, with all original music.

This might remind you of another short film by another well known rapper around the samae time last year. Any guesses? If your answer was Kanye West’s “Runaway” then ding ding ding you’re correct!! The only difference between “Runaway” and “Maniac” is that Cudi’s film is spoken entirely in French with English subtitles.

In any case, here you go: Kid Cudi’s “Maniac,” directed by Shia LaBoef. By the way: if you don’t like violent and bloody things (or you’re under 18) you shouldn’t watch this.”

So far the weather forecast claims the snow will continue steadily throughout the day, but will eventually taper to scattered snow showers this evening with potential for more snow overnight and during tomorrow’s commute.

A winter storm warning has indeed been placed into effect for the Tri-State area until midnight on Wednesday and in some counties a snow emergency has also been declared.

SNOW EMERGENCY – FIND OUT WHICH COUNTIES ARE ON ALERT

Did your children, neighbors and friends get a snow day? Find out which school districts, businesses and churches have closed their doors today in light of the snow.

SCHOOL DELAYS & CLOSINGS

With more snow expected to fall today, looks like its impacting travel already as nearly 65 reported flights have been canceled early this morning at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

SNOW CANCELS CVG FLIGHTS

Above all, please be safe and/or simply stay off the roads as much as possible. Keep an eye out on the news outlets of your choice and watch the weather reports often. It is going to be a messy one and remember safety first. We’ll be back with updates as the morning continues.

Canada: Ready for its Olympic moment
Hosted by Vancouver, but these Games belong to a nation

VANCOUVER — Framed by sea and sky, a striking tableau that would be all the more brilliant if maybe the weather turned colder and snowier, the 2010 Winter Olympics get underway here Friday, the stage set for a Games designed to elicit but one sure response:

Whoa, Canada.

That caricature of the earnest, pleasant, well-meaning Canadian?

 ”The last gold rush around here took place in 1858, I believe,” Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said as part of an address here Tuesday night to the International Olympic Committee. “I predict the next gold rush will begin within one week.”

And then, of course, there is what for many here is the holy grail: gold in men’s hockey.

“There isn’t a Canadian out there who doesn’t have their fingers crossed that on the last day of the Games Canada wins a gold medal in men’s hockey — after winning a gold medal in women’s hockey, in a perfect world,” Vancouver 2010 Chief Executive John Furlong said here earlier this week.

Games organizers, banking on Canadian medals – literally, for the Vancouver 2010 committee has helped fund a win-medals program worth more than $100 million – hope these Games make for moments of inspiration when all north of the 49th parallel are unified in Canadian-ness, however elusive the definition of such a thing might be.

“We very much wanted this project to be a human adventure,” Furlong said, one that would “formally unite the country” and “really let Canadians feel they were part of something great.”
