Why is there always a debate surrounding long hair? Writer Dominique Browning, 55, wrote a piece for the New York Times today about how she loves having long hair, but everyone in her life seems to have a problem with it: "My mother hates it. My sister worries about it. My agent thinks I’m hiding behind it. A concerned friend suggests that it undermines my professional credibility. But in the middle of my life, I’m happy with it," Browning writes. And we can see where she's coming from!
When you're a young woman, a long, lustrous mane is often hair priority number one. Bouncing long hair is the most popular style for younger celebrities, it's favored by both designers and stylists, and, from what the many magazine surveys tell us, most men love it best. Ladies under 40 will go to great lengths (heh. pun intended) to get the look—even shelling out hundreds or thousands of dollars for hair extensions. But the cultural acceptability of long hair comes to a screeching halt by the time you're middle-aged. Then society says it's time to fall in line, cut it all off, and, for many women, opt for a short, boring, de-sexualized "mom" haircut, one that's not particularly stylish, but—what the hey!—it's easy to maintain. The prevailing wisdom seems to be: Young women with long hair are sexy, but old women with long hair look witchy and somehow unkempt. Cripes.

This way of thinking seems unfair to us. We believe many, many older women look great with long hair, which can be flattering on a variety of different face shapes and hair types, and can even make you look younger. And as many of us with long hair can attest, it's often actually easier to deal with than shorter styles—you can go longer between trims, it doesn't require much styling to look great, and you can gather it into a quick bun or ponytail to get it out of your face.
But we also have nothing against short hair. Short hair looks awesome on tons of women. So does shoulder-length hair, for that matter. But the bottom line is this: Women should be able to wear their hair any way they want, no matter what their age.
To prove it, we rounded up an array of amazing-looking, over-45 celebs--who rock long hair in a gorgeous, sexy way.
Do you think women should cut their long hair when they get to a certain age?

News: Indonesia's Most Active Volcano Stirs Fear and Anger
The sounds of children playing in emergency shelters at the base of Indonesia's Mount Merapi are a welcome break from the explosions heard hours earlier.
Earlier in the day, panic ensued after a series of eruptions rained ash and debris down on villages as far as six kilometers from the volcano's crater. The clouds of hot gas billowed from Merapi for nearly three hours, stirring fears that the volcano's wrath is far from finished.
One week after the volcano first came to life, more than 38 people have been killed and 70,000 confined to emergency shelters. Morale in the camps is low, and many refugees say they pine for home.
All are aware of the dangers of returning. But many go back to check on their homes and cattle during the day, at times when the volcano is most calm. The head of the mobile brigade near the Umbulharjo evacuation center, Dodik Slamet, is charged with seeing who goes in and out of the evacuation checkpoint. His job is to ensure people are safe, he says, but he also cannot prevent them from protecting their livelihoods.
There are still many cattle there and the cattle are peoples' only treasure, says Dodik Slamet. He cannot prohibit people from returning to their homes, he says, because if they do not go back, the cattle will die.
Trucks and motorbikes with grass strapped to the back are the only vehicles that ply the dust-covered road past Umbulharjo. Refugees there moved to a rescue shelter further down the volcano after an eruption Saturday caused concern that debris might reach the safety zone.
More than 2,000 refugees are staying nearby, at the Kepuharjo evacuation shelter. Rescue workers say supplies are adequate, but they are having trouble with sanitation. Doctors worry about the spread of disease as children get colds and eye infections.
Some of the women and children having been living here for a week. They say they are bored, and have too much time to think about the homes they know have been destroyed.
Fifty-year-old Parmi says she is glad to have her health, but she cannot stop thinking about all that she has lost. Everything at my home is gone, she says. Parmi thanks God she still has her family together, but says she does not know how she can go back. She says she fears returning to a home that is not livable.
The eruptions could continue for weeks, say government volcanologists, since the volcano has not released all the pressure built up beneath a lava dome in its crater. And that fact could strain the government's ability to care for all the refugees, particularly since it must also provide aid to victims of a tsunami that struck off the coast of west Sumatra just one day before Merapi erupted.
The death toll from the tsunami stands at more than 430 dead with another 15,000 homeless. The number missing dropped to less than 100 after many were found alive by search and rescue teams during the weekend.
But rough weather continues to prevent aid from getting to the remote Mentawai Islands, and many in need of immediate medical care cannot be evacuated. Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area prone to frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Mount Merapi is one of nearly 200 active volcanoes on this vast island nation. The latest eruption is the volcano's third in two decades, but those who remember the 1994 blast that killed 60 people say this one is worse. With searing gas continuing to speed down the mountain, they say they fear they fear what is to come.

A touching story from my Indonesian teacher: Will someone already in heaven reply a letter?
This friday, my Indonesian teacher told a story about a a boy who left by his father when he was really young. One day, it was near of Idul Fitri day, and he asked her mom, "mom, where's father?", "he''s gone, honey. to heaven". After that, that little-poor-boy wrote a letter, "Hi Dad, Idul Fitri day is near, My friends just got their new clothes. And I want it too dad", then he write "to my dad in heaven" on the envelope. Then he gave that letter to post man.
The post man was confused, will he kill himself and give the letter for this-poor-boy's dad? After he thought really hard, then he teold his boss. His boss thought this boy doesn't know that his father just left. And he thinks 'heaven' is in out of this city. The boss really pity, he thought hard and finally he got an idea. he wrote a letter, "Hi my beloved son, this is what u want. and...son, don't send me a letter again ya, cause iam really busy. God bless u :)".
Then the post man gave the present and the letter for that little boy. After that, he never write a letter for his dad in heaven. The end

My First Journal.
So today is the end of school days, and Iam going to share my activites I did from Monday.
-Monday,
I studied names of Allah with Mrs. Athirah and then I learned a Technolgy and Information with Mr. Rudy. Nothing really special happened. But I love to study about Technolgy and Information with him, cause I was paying attention while playing the internet. Hehehe, I know that was not good. But some of my classmates are doing that too. After that, my friends and I did the presentation about PKn. And after that not so really important things happened.
-Tuesday,
Al-Jabr first! U know iam not really good at this, and of course Iam not happy at all. After that we studied Tata Boga!, we learned about Tempe and Tahu. And the end of Tuesday, I went to english lesson and learned about Gerunds part two.
-Wednesday,
Talent Show!! Yeah, I always like Wendnesday because of it. And the show was performed by 9.3 class. That was fun and really cool! They were wearing batik Indonesian. And the end of this day, I practiced Marching Band. Iam a new comer, so I should learn much.
-Thursday,
SPLIT! Of course, we did split. I got a record! 50m for 10.23 seconds. But the bad news is, Yudhis got hurt because he felt while he was running. In the end of this day, we watched Malin Kundang and Nabila with Hafizh's performance.
-Friday,
Thank God Its Friday! Everbody always say like that. So today is the end of school days. I had a math exam II, that was really hard for me. But for smart people like Yuni, Fira, and Fara? That was really easy. How poor am I? Thats why Iam not really good at math. And about the history lesson? Iam really in it. Hehehehe.. I think history is easier than Math.
Iam on learing better english.
