Available American Hardwoods - Nature's "Greenest" Choice
Don't be afraid to choose solid hardwood furniture. American hardwoods are abundant and sustainable and for centuries have been providing beauty, warmth and functional value for floors, furniture, mouldings, millwork and cabinetry. Wood products are carbon neutral; no other material can compare!
Nearly twice as much hardwood grows each year as is harvested and in the past 50 years, the volume of hardwood in American forests has nearly doubled. Foresters work with the timeline that Nature dictates: sustained supply and ongoing replenishment are the result.
View our selection of quality American hardwoods. Scroll down the page for available stains and finishes.
Maple Wood
Maple is a hard and heavy wood that offers good strength especially in its high resistance to abrasion and wear. Has good steam bending properties. Cut maple dries slowly with a high amount of shrinkage which leads to smaller yields of lumber per tree than the average tree. Pre-boring is recommended when nailing and screwing maple wood. Machines and turns well and can be stained. Maple has a close, fine, uniform texture and is generally straight-grained. Maple is used in furniture, flooring, ballroom and gymnasium floors, stairs, cabinets and doors.
Cherry Wood
Cherry is a hard and heavy wood that is easy to machine, nail and glue when sanded and stained. The natural wood color of cherry varies from a rich red to reddish brown color depending on the the age of the tree and exposure to light. It is a lower yielding wood as it dries farily quickly with moderately high shrinkage. However it is a dimensionally stable wood after kiln-drying which makes it an excellent choice when it comes to building material. Cherry wood offers good bending properties and has a low stiffness with good strength and shock resistance. Cherry is used in furniture, cabinet making, millwork, musical instruments, flooring and boat interiors.
Walnut Wood
Walnut is a tough hardwood with medium density. It offers good steam bending properties. Walnut works easily with the use of hand tools and machine tools. It nails, screws and glues well as well as holding paints and stains very well for an exceptional finish. This wood dries slowly and requires greater care and attention during kiln-drying to avoid degradation in lumber quality but will offer very good dimensional stability. This makes walnut a premium choice hardwood. Walnut is used in furniture, cabinets, millwork, gun stocks and flooring.
History of Copeland Furniture:
In the early 1970's the family owned and operated company located in the small town of Bradford, Vermont began their business by building and making cider presses for home and small scale orchard use. From there Copeland would begin designing and building butcher block kitchen furniture and adirondack style porch furniture as well as many other types of furnishings. They would gradually move into building and designing home furnishings in the way of bedroom and dining room furnishings. What started out as a one man operation would grow to employ 80 skilled woodworking employees. Copeland Furniture is American made which means it has a high commitment to quality and design and only the finest materials from FSC certified wood and sawmills. Copeland Furniture has a loyal New England tradition to offering quality craftsmanship and strive to make the best furniture possible.
Copeland Furniture is Green Furniture
The Copalend promise to their customers is to build furniture with the best materials and workmanship available today; furniture that will be handed down for future generations to use daily and to enjoy its enduring beauty for years to come with preservation and stewardship reflected in each piece of furniture.
Sustainably Harvested Hardwoods: American Northern Forest
The Northern Forest in American is increasing in standing biomass making it one of the healthiest in the world. With this increase in size it is able to absord more carbon dioxide each year. The forests in Vermont are no exception now covering 85% of the state. Lumber used is from within 500 miles of the factory. Less fossil fuels and carbon dioxide is emitted by sourcing lumber and raw materials within this radius of the factory.
(FSC) Forest Stewardship Council certified
Copeland works in cooperation with the Smartwood program of the Rainforest Alliance. It requires Copeland to work with suppliers who can certify that the wood purchased comes from forests that are not threatened, have no genetically modified trees and do not have a high conservation significance. SmartWood audits Copeland's records annually. FSC-certified woodlots and FSC-certified sawmills are the preferred sources of wood for Copeland products.

Tobacconist to offer cigar smokers a place to puff
The Tobacconist has been selling cigars for 40 years, and customers at the Greenwich store have always been able to find a leather chair to sneak a puff.
But soon they will have a new, more comfortable refuge to sample their purchases and share some conversation with fellow cigar aficionados.
Michael Cafagno, owner of the shop at 8 Havemeyer Place, is teaming with Michael Stelluti, owner of Smith Party Rentals on Mason Street in Greenwich, to open Davidoff Tobacconist and Cigar Lounge.
Cafagno, a purveyor of Davidoff cigars and accessories, won the Davidoff Golden Brand Best Performance Award in 2012, and he and Stelluti are teaming with the Switzerland-based company to operate the lounge, which measures more than 2,000 square feet and is expected to open at 79 E. Putnam Ave. at the end of July.
The lounge, offering a conference center for members to conduct sessions, plays off the success of the Tobacconist, which was established by the late Jimmy Lacera in 1974, and the store will continue selling Davidoff and other cigar products.
"The store is a landmark in Greenwich. This (lounge) is an additional location. There's nothing like what we're building. We're building a high-end place. It's the largest independently owned Davidoff lounge in the world," Cafagno said. "Of the 229 stores, we're the largest Davidoff retailer in the U.S. We have a very good relationship with them. The majority of products will be Davidoff, but we'll be selling the other high-end brands."
Because of Davidoff's close relationship with the Tobacconist, it's acquainted with Greenwich and its potential, according to Stelluti, who has known Cafagno for eight years.
"They know Greenwich was a perfect spot for the lounge. A Davidoff lounge has a certain look they want, so it's consistent with others around the world. A whole team flew in from Switzerland to assess the project," said Stelluti, a White Plains, N.Y., resident.
The goal is to make the lounge a "country club for cigar smokers," said Cafagno, a Greenwich resident.
"People have been ecstatic about it," he said, commenting that the lounge is offering a limited number of annual, lifetime and corporate memberships for use of the facilities. The lounge is open to the public for retail purchases.
Greenwich resident Paul Huston, who has been a Tobacconist customer for about seven years, already has purchased a membership.
"I'm very excited about it. I think Greenwich needs something like this for cigar aficionados," he said.
Ron Brien, principal of Alliance Properties, represented Cafagno and Stelluti in their search, and said the property is well-suited for the lounge.
"In part, they are responding to customers' wishes that want a place in which they can smoke cigars and socialize," he said. "It's a real winner concept and will be extremely popular. It will be a new destination in Greenwich for the cigar aficionado."
The Davidoff brand is well known and has a solid reputation, said Marcia O'Kane, executive director of the Greenwich Chamber of Commerce.
"That's a high-end product and stands well with Greenwich," she said. "Cigar lounges are rapidly becoming more popular, despite health warnings. I hope they do well."

Great question. I would say that grammatically it is indicated by the use of the definite article in τῶν μὲν γὰρ Ἑλληνικῶν πολιτευμάτων. Contextually it is indicated by the whole sweep of the these first ten chapters of Book VI where he nowhere limits himself to some subset of Greek republics. But I still am working through them in Greek, so I may have more to say in answer to your question later.John W. wrote: But where does P. say he is talking about all the Greek republics here? Couldn't he just be talking about some (even if the majority) of them?
These first ten chapters of Book VI are very famous and probably the most important thing you can read in Polybius. You get his discussion of mixed constitutions with Sparta as his key example--a little background for Thucydides. And if you like them, you can finish the rest of Book VI which is almost as famous and gives his account of the Roman constitution.

Sweet family of Tenn.
Hi all,
I am researching Sweets of Tenn. They were mainly from the Anderson county and Claiborne county areas. I have been looking for several years for my 3x great grandfather David Sweet. From the information I have he lived in the above counties for many years raising 11 children. I can locate him and his family in the various census rolls but nothing about where he came from or who his parents were or from. Also nothing about his siblings if he had any. Would be greatfull for any assistance on this subject.
He was born in 1802 in Claiborne county and died in 1858 in Anderson county. In 1821 he married Highly Holton { Manila} and had his first child in 1822, William Riley Sweet....
Other names in the family..Whitson, Huddleston, Greene,
Thanks...Jim Sweet

A Cinderella Story
With all the royal wedding coverage out there, a lot of us girls have been spending this week imagining our own Princess Diaries moment.
Now, I don't know about you guys, but mine goes a little something... like this...
(Awww yeeeeah.)
Next, we sink straight into the Fire Swamp.
Next we play BioShock together until 2AM.
Later, afterdressing up as Venkman and Staypuft for Halloween (I'm Venkman, of course), and confessing our undying love for one another, there's a painfully romantic proposal:
"Jen," my dashing prince would say, "Will you be my own Princess Peach?"
To which I would respond, "Are you kidding? Do Vulcans need the Pon Farr?
"(But we are going to Disney for the honeymoon, right?)"
And, BAM! I'm a princess! Next thing you know, I'm living in a castle...
"And over here is your TARDIS closet. As you can see, it is much, MUCH bigger on the inside."
...and...and...wait. You know what? Other than the castle and crown stuff, I've already got my fairy tale ending, complete with BioShock playing, Princess Bride quoting, brownie baking prince. (Love you, Sweetie.)
So I guess I'll just end here by wishing all of you:

i have ridden with Anna many, many times. not only is she a very good rider but she is a wonderful person to be around. all you single guys in and around the Texas panhandle should be standing in line to take her out.A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of taking a day ride with BMWGSRIDER.
gawd... this forum made me chuckle! love it!
..... it looks like a lot of 'how we met' and 'how do I meet?' references here so I thought that I'd pass along the quick version of Mary and me in 2001.
After a four year old separation (some of which the old /5 played a role; but that's a whole other thing), I met Mary in 2000-2001. Dancing was the intro medium. Told her about the bike. She never rode. "Would you like to go for a ride.... on the bike?" Affirmative. So we made a ride plan. Unknown to me, she went to a used clothing store and bought an old leather jacket. She told her sister, "Not much money....just in case this doesn't work out". We had a wonderful ride; she was a natural and we haven't stopped grinning since.
Shortly thereafter I asked if she'd like to go for a little longer ride. Sure. "but where?" I showed her a map with a large circle around the U.S. and told her about a motorcycle rally in Redmond, Oregon. Ok. Her first tour was going to be about 12,000 miles on a 28 year old motorcycle with a guy she hasn't even known for a year.
Great, but we have a problem. The bike needs a bit of work and I don't have a place to work on it. "well, you could use my basement", she said. So we did.
A new riding suit for Christmas, boots, gloves, maps, a U Bag, hairdryer..... we're good to go!
Mary on departure day 2001. Next 'big stop": Redmond
A little light in the front, modest brakes (brakes?), lots of sunshine and grins. We get to Redmond, camp with the notorious Black Sheep, have a great time before moving on down the coast to southern Cal and eastward to New Orleans and then up the east coast home. Sometime I should write this little travel story I suppose. Anyway, Redmond was special because we got the Long Distance Two-Up Male Rider award. What a thrill for a person on their very first 'long ride'.
Lots of riding since but our meeting - with much due to that old BMW motorcycle - was a great adventure and a very much a bonding experience - Bob

There are places on the internet that will use a questionnaire and have you answer questions then place your responses into a cover letter for you. This is still just a template and again cover letter template misconceptions surround this method as well. Job seekers seem to think that the use of this cover letter writing service will give them a great cover letter. Again this is just a template that you will need to read the cover letter over and see if it truly shines and then add or take away areas that will allow for it to truly be a great cover letter.

ACA: What can go wrong now?
Busted website, canceled policies, lousy early enrollment numbers. And that could be just the warmup.
Because the lesson of the last six weeks is that when it comes to the Obamacare rollout, if it can go wrong, it probably will.
Story Continued Below
The stumble-filled debut of President Barack Obama's health care law is drawing new attention to the other risks that have been on the radar screen of health care wonks for months. Think health insurance plans sinking under the weight of sick customers, newly insured people being stunned that they still have to spend on health care, and possibly another wave of canceled policies — right before the 2014 elections.
They're mostly worst-case scenarios, and an Obamacare recovery in the next few months could still prevent some of the biggest ones from ever happening. But health care experts are taking all of them a lot more seriously now — because at this point, why wouldn't they?
A complete list of possibilities could be overwhelming, but here are the main ones to watch:
( Understanding Obamacare: POLITICO's guide to the ACA)
'Death spiral'
This was always the worst of the worst-case scenarios: Only sick people enroll in the Obamacare health insurance plans, healthy people stay away, and everyone's premiums rise out of control because there are no healthy people to cover the sick people's costs.
That's the dreaded "death spiral," and it has been a possibility all along. But it was only a remote one — because health care experts have counted on the attraction of Obamacare's subsidies, along with the threat of fines from the individual mandate, to lure enough healthy customers to prevent a meltdown.
But they were also counting on a functioning website. Now that HealthCare.gov has tripped up all but the most committed customers, health care analysts are taking another look at the "death spiral" scenario — and some are worried that it's already playing out before their eyes.
( PHOTOS: 10 Sebelius quotes about Obamacare website)
"This is not a political attack — I think we're already there. I really do," said Robert Laszewski, a consultant who works with health insurance companies. "If everyone is hearing that there are all these problems with the website and you have to do all these workarounds, who's going to do the workarounds? Sick people."
The Obama administration says roughly 106,000 people selected health insurance plans in October — and only a quarter if those used the federal website, which serves 36 states. There are a lot more potential customers, since nearly 1.1 million were found to be eligible for Obamacare plans. But they have to get through the website first.
The buggy website would have to be working well by the beginning of December, as the Obama administration has promised, to avoid discouraging healthy people from signing up, Laszewski said — and the chances of a successful fix by then are growing more remote every day.
( PHOTOS: House hearing on Obamacare website)
Others, however, say it's too early to tell if a death spiral is a real danger. The open enrollment period lasts through March, they point out, and healthy people would probably be the last customers to sign up anyway.
"It's too early to know for sure," said Mark McClellan, who ran the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under President George W. Bush and presided over the launch of the Medicare prescription drug program. "What's going to matter is not the enrollment numbers over the next few weeks, but what the enrollment looks like come February or March."
The cost of the cancellations fix
There's another problem, and it has nothing to do with the website. Insurers and actuaries say the Obama administration's solution to the canceled policies mess could backfire — because by telling insurers they can extend people's individual coverage, they might cause the insurance prices to rise anyway.
That's because the mix of healthy and sick people in the new Obamacare plans would be disrupted. In the worst-case scenario, it would be the healthy people that renew their old, pre-Obamacare insurance, and only the sick people would switch to the new plans — because they'd want the new coverage that accepts anyone with pre-existing conditions.
( PHOTOS: Senate's Obamacare hearing)
Obama administration officials say they can take care of that problem by using a built-in mechanism in Obamacare that's supposed to help insurers with high-cost patients. The "risk corridors" provision gives extra payments to health plans that draw a lot of sick people, and administration officials think they can adjust that mechanism to help insurers that lose too many customers they were expecting.
But even if that works, that could increase the cost of Obamacare — because the federal government would be on the hook for most of those extra expenses. In a letter to lawmakers, the American Academy of Actuaries warned that "costs to the federal government could increase as higher-than-expected average medical claims are more likely to trigger risk corridor payments."
That's the issue Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is targeting with his proposal to repeal the risk corridors provision to prevent a "bailout" of insurance companies. A Rubio aide says there's no exact estimate of how much federal spending would increase, but they're going to ask the Congressional Budget Office to look into it.
Price hikes during election season
If the Obamacare health plans don't get a good mix of healthy and sick people, the rate hikes wouldn't happen right away. The prices are already locked in for 2014. The bigger political headache for Democrats is that insurance companies would raise their prices for 2015, and those new rates would be announced in the spring — bringing another round of bad news during election season.
Most likely, the insurance companies would submit their bids in April, and that would be based on only the most preliminary information about final enrollment figures for Obamacare's first year.
"That should be in the category of things the administration should be thinking about," said McClellan.
Coverage gap
The big danger of the canceled policies isn't totally off the table. For any individual health plans that don't get extended, customers will have to find new health insurance, either through the Obamacare websites or through workarounds, like the call center or even contacting health insurers directly. If they can't do it by Dec. 15, they might not have a replacement health insurance plan by Jan. 1.
If health insurers — and state insurance commissioners — go along with the White House plan and extend people's policies, that won't be a problem. But not all of them will. Insurance commissioners in Washington state, Mississippi, Georgia and Rhode Island have already said no, and others have said they're skeptical about it.
"It definitely allows insurers to continue policies and avoid any cancellations until 2015, but it's still up to state regulators and the insurers themselves whether to take the option. So, it'll probably vary from state to state and plan to plan," said Larry Levitt of the Kaiser Family Foundation.

We should rename this recipe "Goldilocks Pudding." My mother's notes say she made several attempts at my dad's favorite dessert before coming up with this particular version—not too hard, not too soft. It's become a mainstay in my home, too. Garth prefers the pudding without the meringue, so I usually make two versions, one with and one without. Either way, it's a homey, satisfying finish to any meal. Gwen adds, "Wait, if you can, to allow the wafers to become soft before serving."–Trisha Yearwood
LC A Southern Classic Note
Bananas. Nilla wafers. Cream. Sugar. Chances are you've got all the fixins for this Southern classic in your pantry right now.
Banana Pudding
- Quick Glance
- Serves 8
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus an extra pinch for the meringue
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 to 40 vanilla wafers
- 5 to 6 medium ripe bananas
- Pinch of salt
- 1. Separate the yolks from the whites of 3 eggs. Set aside the whites. In the top of a double boiler, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, the flour, and salt. Stir in the remaining whole egg and the 3 yolks. Then stir in the milk. Cook uncovered, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 3. Spread a thin layer of pudding in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Arrange a layer of vanilla wafers on top of the pudding. Thinly slice the bananas crosswise, about 1/8 inch thick, and arrange a layer of banana slices over the wafers. Spread 1/3 of the remaining pudding over the bananas and continue layering wafers, bananas, and pudding, ending with pudding.
- 4. Beat the reserved egg whites with a pinch of salt until they're stiff. Gradually beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until the whites will not slide out of the mixing bowl when it is tilted. This is your meringue.
- 5. Spread the meringue over the pudding with a spatula, making a few decorative peaks on top, and bake for 5 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.

I don't know what it is about chicken and nuts, but they seem to go perfectly together. Other than pork with peanuts, no other meat gets the same natural pairing, at least with whole nuts. There's a well-known chicken dish for just about every kind of nut out there, from Kung Pao chicken to chicken with cashews, all with different sauces and slightly different preparation methods.
Almond Chicken is another winner to add to that list. It was a pretty popular dish starting around a century ago, served alongside egg foo young and chop suey at Chinese restaurants in the U.S. From the 1940s through the 1960s, cookbooks aimed at American housewives printed recipes to allow them to recreate the popular dish at home. Why its popularity waned (at least on the East Coast!), when cashew chicken and walnut chicken are still Chinese menu standbys, is a mystery for the ages.
This recipe for almond chicken is adapted from Ken Hom's Easy Family Recipes from a Chinese-American Childhood. He writes that the more old school Chinese-American restaurants serve the dish with a "dark-brown sauce, a sort of ready-made gravy that is artificially colored to make our American customers more comfortable with Chinese dishes."
The recipe he offers, however, has a much lighter sauce that is still delicious, despite the minimalist ingredient list. The chicken is first velveted, a technique in which the chicken is marinated with egg whites and cornstarch, then blanched in water or before being stir-fried. This method locks in moisture; the finished texture is silky and extremely succulent. Really, you don't miss the heavy brown sauce at all. I changed the recipe a bit by using almond slivers instead of whole almonds, and added frozen peas for color and to make it a more well-rounded dish.
Chinese Almond Chicken
Serves 4
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 scallion, chopped
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
- 1/4 cup roasted slivered or sliced almonds
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with the egg white, salt, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- In a small pot, bring about 1 quart of water to boil. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the water. Add the chicken, and blanch for 1 minute, until the chicken is white on the outside but not cooked through. Drain the chicken well and set aside.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped scallions and stir-fry briefly until aromatic, about 20 seconds. Add the chicken and frozen peas and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and sherry and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the almonds and stir so they are well-coated with the sauce. Transfer to a plate and serve.

Fujifilm Reviews: Compact Cameras
Fujifilm started as a film company--but even their digital cameras carry on a tradition of rich colors, even when those cameras are small. The company's advanced compacts like the X100T are popular among street photographers. Fujifilm also produces solid super zoom cameras, including our favorite zoom of 2014, the FinePix S1. Their line even includes more budget-friendly compacts.
Fujifilm's compacts aren't as popular as their mirrorless line, but many of them are certainly worth a look. Here's a roundup of all the Fujifilm camera reviews for compact models.

Fujifilm FinePix AX660
A no-frills budget camera, the Fujfilm FinePix AX660 is priced under $100 and still offers HD video and a nice 2.7" LCD screen. The cameras uses a 1/2.3" sensor, so the resolution shouldn't be too bad, but, like other budget models, ...

Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR
The EXR sensor is the selling point here; the user can choose one of three modes that favor high dynamic range, low noise, or high resolution. The low noise and high dynamic range modes reduce the resolution, yet truly improve image quality. You c...
Grade: B- Price: $473.00
Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR
We were pretty impressed with Fujifilm's last extended zoom so our expectations are high for the newest model that offers an even longer zoom and faster shooting with 11 fps in burst mode. This model offers an impressive 42x optical zoom that ...
Grade: A- Price: $500.00
Fujifilm FinePix JX660
The JX660 is a very basic model from Fujifilm, though it offers a rechargeable battery (unlike the AZ660). The resolution isn't bad for the price with the 16 megapixel 1/2.3" sensor, but like the other $100ish cameras out there, it's ...
Grade: B+ Price: $100.00
Fujifilm FinePix S1
A 50x zoom is no longer unheard of, in fact, 50x is becoming the norm in the realm of super zoom cameras. But what's much harder to find is a camera that can take images at the long end of that big zoom that are quite similar in quality to the...
Grade: A- Price: $700.00
Fujifilm FinePix S9400W
The FinePix S9400W is one of a handful of long zoom options Fujifilm introduced at CES 2014, along with the Fujifilm S1. The S9400 actually has the same sensor as the S1, though takes AA batteries instead of a rechargeable lithium-ion, has a bit s...
Grade: B+ Price: $330.00
Fujifilm FinePix S9900W
The super zoom category is booming—but should consumers really be spending $500-600 on a compact camera when an entry-level DSLR will cost you that much? The Fujifilm S9900 (and S9900W with wi-fi) enters the fray as an option that won't ...
Grade: B Price: $719.00
Fujifilm FinePix X100
The X100 is a serious piece of equipment, packing an APS-C CMOS sensor (that's the same type of sensor used in consumer dSLRs) into a classic rangefinder-type body. It's also a fixed-lens model, which is unique for a camera with such a hug...

Fujifilm FinePix XP150
Fujifilm's rugged cameras have finally made the switch to CMOS. The XP50 and XP150 both now sport 14.4 megapixel CMOS sensors and will record 1080p HD video. The XP150 is the tougher of the two, it's good to 33 feet underwater and has a GP...

Fujifilm FinePix XP80
Sometimes, the most beautiful images we see are in environments that would mean disaster for the average camera. But the Fujifilm XP80 isn't your average camera. I dropped it in a water fountain. I shot through a rainstorm. I even let my two-y...

Fujifilm FinePix XP90

Grade: B+ Price: $200.00

Fujifilm X100T
The Fujfilm X100T is a fixed lens camera paired with a sensor as big as those found in entry-level DSLRS--it's unusual, to say the least, but the camera line has been a favorite among street photographers and enthusiasts. The X100T is a margin...
Grade: A Price: $1,250.00
Fujifilm X30
Fujifilm is a leader when it comes to retro-inspired cameras—the Fujifilm X30 is a retro-inspired beast of a camera, with a sturdy build and solid specs to boot. A fast lens, a high resolution electronic viewfinder and a tilting LCD screen a...
Grade: A- Price: $499.00
Fujifilm X70
Fujifilm certainly isn't a stranger to advanced compacts, but options like the X100T come with a pretty high-end price tag. So when the company introduced the $700 X70, I was intrigued, to say the least. The X70 includes the same X-Trans senso...

Fujifilm XF1
The XF1 is Fujifilm's 2012 advanced compact, and it has some new tricks. The camera packs a 12 megapixel 2/3" sensor, a bit larger than those found in competitors like the LX7 or S100, and performs the EXR abilities that Fujifilm users ha...
Grade: B+ Price: $345.00
Fujifilm XP70
The Fujifilm XP90 is a durable little shooter, able to withstand dust, cold and shock as well as being waterproof up to 33 feet. The XP90 can shoot at up to 10 fps and even has a dedicated burst button to take advantage of that extra speed. The mo...

Fujifilm XQ1
The popular Fujifilm X line now has a compact camera, putting the company's popular X-Trans sensors in a pocket-sized shooter. The Fujifilm XQ1 is certainly an advanced compact with manual modes, RAW shooting, a 2/3" CMOS sensor with no ...

The Fujifilm XQ1 impressed us last year with category-leading speed--with a brand new processor, the XQ2 pushes that even further.While you don't see a jump in burst speed in the tech specs, the Fujifilm XQ2 has an updated processor, the EXR P...

Fujifilm X-S1
The Fujifilm XS-1 is one of the highest-end extended zoom camera money, and lots of it, can buy. For those who want an all-in-one that offers a tactile experience that rivals that of DSLRs, the XS-1's 26x lens is operated manually rather than ...

I have been using my Elecraft K3 (with 2m transverter) to receive Funcube 1 telemetry for the past few weeks with success, however there is one aspect of my experience which puzzles me:-
My antenna is a 5 element steerable 2m Yagi and reception involves steering as per the satPC32 azimuth data and tuning (for doppler) manually while watching the very clear Funcube signal on my Pan Adapter.
The puzzle is that while the bird is coming towards me can see it before it gets a positive elevation angle, REGARDLESS of whether it is coming NtoS or StoN. BUT when it is overhead or receding the signal quickly fades to nothing at all ranges. This is not a doppler thing, but it could be a polarisation or antenna aspect thing. Help! 73deRay M0XDL

Top Democrat on Homeland Security panel seeks GAO review; ranking member already convinced overhaul is necessary.
Possibly provoking a major fight between powerful committee chairmen, House Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., has asked the Government Accountability Office to review whether Congress' oversight structure is negatively affecting homeland security activities.
Thompson said he is open to revisiting whether Congress should undertake a reorganization to consolidate its oversight of the Homeland Security Department. But he said he wants GAO to report back before any legislation is crafted.
House Homeland Security ranking member Peter King, R-N.Y., said a GAO report might be a good idea, but is not necessary. He is already convinced that the congressional oversight structure is an impediment to homeland security and needs to be overhauled.
"We know the impact it has," King said. "This is a major issue that has to be addressed ... I feel very strongly about it."
He said the duplication of appearances at congressional hearings by Homeland Security officials is a major problem and is damaging the department's ability to carry out its duties.
The department was created four years ago by merging 22 agencies. But powerful committees and their chairmen have been reluctant to relinquish control over parts of the department that fall within their jurisdiction.
Department officials report to about 88 committees and subcommittees, according to department statistics.
"Obviously there are a number of jurisdictional challenges to go through other committees," Thompson said in an interview.
In a letter he sent Monday, Thompson asked GAO to determine the exact number of committees department officials have appeared before in the last three years, and how that compares to officials from other federal departments and agencies.
"In essence, a controversy seems to exist concerning whether the current congressional oversight framework adversely impacts the department," Thompson wrote. "While I am not requesting that you resolve this controversy, I am seeking an explanation of the unique jurisdictional situation confronting the department and whether that situation may play a role in the department's position on the GAO high risk list."
One of the 9/11 Commission's key recommendations was that Congress should create a single, principal point of oversight for homeland security affairs.
Although Democrats campaigned last year on a pledge to enact all of the commission's recommendations, they did not require congressional consolidation in the recently approved 9/11 bill.
The bill was sent to President Bush on Wednesday, but passage was delayed for months by jurisdictional disputes between committees.
When Republicans controlled Congress, they created the House Homeland Security Committee and made it a permanent standing committee. They also merged most of the oversight in the Senate under the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. They never fully fulfilled the 9/11 Commission's recommendations, either.
"While the House of Representatives has established the Committee on Homeland Security and granted this committee the status of a standing permanent committee in accord with the 9/11 Commission's recommendations, this committee is not the single and principal point of oversight and review for the Department of Homeland Security," Thompson wrote.
"Meanwhile, departmental officials have indicated that oversight by a host of congressional entities impedes their ability to perform their core functions and accomplish the integration and transformation of these 22 separate agencies into one unified department," he added.

Making Mixed Media Art With The Munchkins
I like to keep my kids crafty. My daughter is much more into this idea than my son, but I'll win him over with enough dump truck tire painting. In the meantime I can't crack open a bottle of Tacky Glue without Tallulah running into the room wanting to craft with me. I try to always foster this urge and let her work on her own version of what I am playing with. Yesterday was all about mixed media.
It all started when I bought a bag of rollers at the thrift store. I was not sure what I was going to do with them, but the colors were calling my name. Baxter enjoyed putting them in his dump truck after I washed them and Tallulah loves to sort things by size and color. I watched as they played and thought deep crafty thoughts.
Rewind to a few weeks ago when I was inspired by the lovely artists Hearts and Needles and Jess Quinn of Small Art. I am trying to do more painting, mixed media and collage - expand my artistic horizons. I started making paper dolls with left over bits of scrapbooking supplies. Tallulah of course wanted to play along so I helped her cut sticky back foam and make her own self portrait.
Back to the curlers. They would look great just sitting on a shelf. I used to keep candy jars full of colorful spent shotgun shells on a shelf and these curlers were destined for the same fate. One night laying in bed I wondered if I could stuff them with foam and adorn them like vintage sequined and beaded ornaments. Even if I could what would I do with beaded curlers? I know, make a picture frame for my dolls.
First I decided to get all Traci Bautista on a small already printed canvas. At this point Tallulah was joining in painting a sheet of bird covered scrapbook paper. Using various stencils, Tulip Puffy Paint Writers, paper punches, and some Sparkly Collage Pauge I adorned my canvas and set it aside to dry. By this time Tallulah had found a piece of cardboard she was also painting to add to her masterpiece.
Next step – bedazzlement. I took a sheet of foam and pressed my curlers in. It took about 3 times to fill the entire curler up with foam. From here it was a slightly tedious process of using beading pins, seed beads, sequins and Tacky Glue to adorn the holes in my rollers. I stacked the designs on the pin and then dipped them in Tacky Glue and inserted into the curlers. As I adorned my 12 curlers Tallulah sat next to me and sprinkled beads and sequins onto the sticky side of some craft foam.
Tallulah taped her collage (using blue painters tape) to her cardboard. I decided to give it a frame of red and white striped paper straws. We also decided to cut circles out of her sheet of beaded foam and using Tacky Glue we added them to the piece. I'm kinda in love with the way it came out. She signed her name across the bottom and if you want to hire her for an art show I'm her agent. In the meantime this piece is happily hanging on our gallery wall.
Time to finish my piece. Using a thin layer of Tacky Glue on the back of my paper doll I added it to my canvas. I used a black pen to outline the doll and make it pop. Next I used a hot glue gun to add my curlers around the edges like a picture frame.
Once the curlers were attached there were a few rough edges to fix. I made yarn pom poms out of some vintage chunky yarn I found at my mothers and some fun pink stuff from Tuesday Morning. Using Tacky Glue I attached these to the 4 corners of the frame.
The final touch was going back in with Tacky Glue and aqua trim to hide the glue gun action on the inside of the canvas. I set my work aside to dry overnight.
This morning I'm feeling like I should pretty much start making phone calls to set up my first solo art show. The piece is so funky and fun, only something I could love. Tallulah equally loves her piece and is already asking to make another. Not only do I love how our pieces came out, I love that I got to show my kids that you can make art with more than paint and paper. If it will sit still long enough it will eventually get transformed into something funky in our house.
I have tons of rollers left. What ever shall I make next?

Oscars season reminds us of great newspaper films of the past
There are no newspaper movies in the running for the best picture for the Oscars 2013, but that doesn't stop me from reminiscing about the great newspaper movies of the past.
It's funny, the relationship journalists have with movies about journalism. We revere them, in a way (especially gutsy dramas like "All the Presidents Men"), but we also dismiss them as unrealistic — anyone else remember the Glenn Close/Michael Keaton printshop brawl in 1994's "The Paper"?

Italian Andrea Pavan claimed his first professional title in the Norwegian Challenge after edging out Austrian Florian Praegant in a play-off.
The 22 year old from Rome made a birdie at the third extra hole to win, having carded a two under par 70 in the final round to reach nine under for the tournament alongside Praegant, who signed for a 69.
The Austrian holed an excellent putt from off the green for birdie at the first play-off hole, and Pavan followed suit from close range. Nothing could separate the pair at the second extra hole as they both tapped in for par, but at the third Pavan went close with his approach and Praegant could only make bogey.
Pavan only turned professional earlier this year and at the start of the season was relying on sponsors' invitations, but his impressive form and flashes of brilliance took him to 31st in the Rankings prior to this week, and now he has risen to seventh.
In addition to the cheque for €28,000, Pavan was glad to lay to rest the demons which prevented him winning earlier in the season – he was second in the Kärnten Golf Open presented by Mazda despite leading by five shots heading into the final round, and in the Credit Suisse Challenge he led at the halfway stage only to shoot 75 and 86 at the weekend to finish 70th.
"It feels fantastic to have won," he said. "Especially after what happened in Austria and Switzerland, I proved I can finish it off. My coach this week has been very helpful. It has not been a week for playing really well, but we found a way to win.
"I holed some crucial putts today, especially on the 18th to make par and get in the play-off. Both days this weekend I've played well on the back nine. And to make two birdies in the play-off was great.
"I was more nervous during the round than in the play-off. Once I was in the play-off I knew the worse I could finish was second.
"My goal was always to finish in the top 20 of the Rankings but now it is much closer to happening. There are still two very big weeks coming up, in Kazakhstan and Russia, so I'm taking next week off to prepare. Even though I won, there is still plenty of improvement to be made."
It could have been a fairytale week for Praegant, who with Roland Steiner clinched a spot in the Omega Mission Hills World Cup via the European Qualifier last Sunday, but he was not too disappointed.
"I played really well and second place is a good performance," said Praegant. "I was third in my last Challenge Tour event (the Credit Suisse Challenge), then qualified for the World Cup and now this, so it has been a great few weeks.
"I holed some great putts today and I'm playing well so there are plenty of positives to take away."
Scots Chris Doak and Andrew McArthur shared third place – the former impressing with a four under par 68 – while Simon Thornton of Ireland was fifth.
Marius Thorp was the highest placed Norwegian at five under, while 16 year old amateur Kristoffer Ventura, who played in last year's Junior Ryder Cup, finished four under for a share of 16th place.

If you got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.
The parents of a couple of young girls in Houston, who have established a booming lemonade stand business, beg to differ. Clara and Eliza Sutton, aged 7 and 4 respectively, opened CoolBlast Lemonade in their suburban neighborhood in Houston, Texas. Business was so brisk that they soon added their younger brother Erik as a third employee.
Young Clara explained how operating a small business is very instructive about the real world: "You learn how to make change. We learned about customer service, that we should always be nice to the customer. We learned how to advertise. We donate some of the money to charity to help other people out. We used the rest for supplies. We might buy a gift for our brother since he's our employee."
Andrew Sutton, father of the two entrepreneurs, had no help for the government: "Nobody helped them except us. They did it on their own. "My wife and I both run our own businesses, so running a lemonade stand with them was showing them what they do. They were curious how we got money for things. It's been a positive experience for them." Sutton was also critical of Obama's comments about the reliance of business upon government: "It was not very presidential. A leader should lead by being more positive. He should've said, 'You guys should be the backbone of the economy.'"
Jeff Brown runs an organization in Seattle named "Teaching Kids Business," which strives to teach children about opening and operating a business. He said that the Obama remarks, while not completely incorrect, were basically wrongheaded: "I'm not sure I agree with the comments made. I think there is a partnership between government and business but they are not dependent on each other. The government tends to justify their spending by touting job creation," he said, "but it's a self-serving position."
Nellie Akalp of Thousand Oaks, California, has taught her four children how to operate lemonade and cupcake stands. She and her husband have founded corpnet.com, which is a legal service for small businesses. The Akalps want their children to learn about the real business world, said Nellie:
My husband and I have tried to instill in them that you have to be passionate about what they do. We've tried to show them to take things they like and take it to a business concept. We try to teach them the value of making money every day. We try to show them they won't have anything handed to them. That if they want success, they will have to work for it.
Lemonade stands are an iconic American example of children opening businesses. No government program helps them and these businesses seek no special favors from the state. That does not mean, however, that the relationship between lemonade stands and government is nonexistent. As Reason magazine noted in an article one year ago, police have cracked down on unregulated lemonade stands.
In Midway, Georgia, police closed a lemonade stand that three girls had set up, saying that the girls did not have a business license or a permit to peddle goods, which could cost from $50 to $180 per day. Casity Dixon, a 14-year-old girl and one of the operators of the lemonade stand, said: "It's kind of crazy that we couldn't sell lemonade. It was fun, but we had to listen to the cops and shut it down." Amy Roberts, another partner in the business, added of the police action: "It's almost like they don't have anything better to do."
Also in the summer of 2011, when Abigail Krutsinger in Coralville, Iowa, set up a lemonade stand, the four-year-old girl ran into the same problem with the law. City health officials stated that the little girl must apply for a permit and get a health inspection. She had set up a stand to reach a very thirsty group of customers, folks who entered the Des Moines Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa.
One year before, in August 2010, police in Multnomah County, Oregon, shut down seven-year-old Julie Murphy's lemonade stand because she did not obtain a temporary business license, which costs $120. Two officers were required for the job, and they were so aggressive that the young girl began to cry. She was threatened with a $500 fine if her lemonade stand remained open.
People in the neighborhood rallied around young Julie, offering to make donations if she would give away her lemonade and telling Multnomah County officials to leave the girl alone. Jon Kawaguchi, Supervisor of Environmental Health for the Multnomah County Health Department, explained the government's position: "I understand the reason behind what they're doing and it's a neighborhood event, and they're trying to generate revenue. But we still need to put the public's health first."
Ian Murray observes in an article at Townhall.com that government seems to be waging war on lemonade stands all across America. So far the Sutton children in Houston have avoided the "help" of government for business which Obama spoke about, and the two little girls and their younger brother are learning what the American Dream is really about.

The Woolen Needle
Hand-dyed wool and yarn and reproduction fabric encourage quilters and rug hookers to pursue their love of fibers.
Transported Back in Time
Hand-dyed wool and reproduction cottons at The Woolen Needle in historic Williamsburg, Iowa, remind crafters of a simpler era. The shop has supplies for quilting, rug hooking, penny rugs, and punch-needle projects.
Meet the Staff
Front row, from left: Sandy Marine, Julie Zuber, and Mary Blythe (owner); second row: Erick Wolfmeyer, Carol Zuber, Annette Boland, Carla Brinkman, and Robin Blythe.
Cozy Surroundings
The Woolen Needle is located in a brick building on the town square that has been restored to look like a general store.
Wooly Wall Hanging
The Penny Garden wall hanging by in-house designers is just one of the 90 samples on display at The Woolen Needle.
Hand Dying
Owner Mary Blythe dyes about 12 to 15 yards of wool a day. The Woolen Needle houses more than 1,100 yards of fabric and has an additional 3,000 yards stashed upstairs.
Bountiful Harvest
Mary Blythe, owner of The Woolen Needles, designed Bountiful Harvest for Quilt Sampler Fall/Winter 2010 magazine.
Hand-Stitching Details
A combination of stitches—including blanket, stem, satin, star, and French knots—add texture to Bountiful Harvest.
Bountiful Harvest Color Option
Add personality with pattern instead of texture. Quilt tester Laura Boehnke used reproduction prints from Silk Road collection by Benartex. For a quicker finish—and a super sleek look—Laura machine-appliquéd each shaping using color-coordinated thread. To keep things minimal, she did not add vines to the corners.

Absolutely beautiful women, all across the board.
Agreed – I think this look is so chic and all the women look gorgeous!
boy cut is hot! :)
I do totally love chicks that look like dudes!
Gorgeous photos! I wish I could look that good with a boy cut. Btw, I'm enchanted with your site.
Such a classy hairstyle – if only I could have the courage to go for it! Such lovely photos.
love the pocket square! such a small but wonderful detail…
Cool. North American women are soooo hung up on long hair – to the point they'd rather keep it when it's clearly unflattering or just time for a change (and for many years, I was one of them).
Then I braved the scissors and won't be turning back. (Maybe chin length …. but not long-long).
Thanks for this collage!
I'm 56 and cut my hair short one year after getting out of high school – you can do the math – and never regretted it for one moment. I agree Americans are so fixated with long hair (my hairdresser calls it the cheerleader syndrome). It's expensive to maintain the color and cut, but worth every penny I've spent. I love a bare neck and as my ears are one of my better features, can show them off.
I'm not a fan of short hair cuts for women past 30 or so (some exceptions, namely, Halle Berry, come to mind)…women need the fullness of long hair next to their faces to make up for the loss of collagen as they move along in life. Besides, guys like long hair. It's way hot!
Honestly, I find the idea that we somehow have to "make up for" ourselves as we change over time troubling… as is the idea that our primary concern when we self-create via style should be whether guys (or other people in general) like it. (Not going to touch the generalizations about men or who women wish to appeal to…)
thanks you for this.
Well said, my dear!
Men are more than entitled to their preferences, but their love of long haired women should not be so that they may delude themselves into thinking that they are with a little girl. In case they've forgotten, they age too!
Actually, I have found short hair on older women to be far more flattering than really long hair and in many cases the shorter hair makes these women look years younger.
So! It's a known fact that women over thirty have a loss of collagen, because if so, I need to have somebody look at my birth certificate because it is obviously wrong. Boy cuts are gorgeous!
Some guys like short hair, some guys like long hair, some girls like short hair, some girls like long hair.
You should wear your hair for yourself, not for others. And not every female is trying to attract men. Women are each beautiful in their own way at every age. It is in no way necessary for women over 30 to have long hair.
I totally agree. And in my opinion, short hair rocks!
This is exactly the sort of misogynistic statement that makes today's women less likely to love themselves. Frankly, I don't really care what 'guys like', and sincerely doubt I'll need to make up for anything when I'm past my middle age.
I have just turned thirty and after having short hair on and off for years (and every other length in between) I always seem to return to it having done so around six months ago. So women lose collagen; men lose a lot more than that and yet we do not hold it against them. I like the way short hair emphasizes certain features that would otherwise be drowned by long hair. It's ok to have an opinion on the short/long hair debate but please don't hide your comments behind age or 'collagen', we don't have anything to 'make up for'. We should be championing our differences.
Short hair on older women unflattering? Have you looked at Judi Dench? A more fabilous lady is hard to find!
And we're all walking around trying to make sure guys think we're hot, right? Unless you're walking around looking like a Greek god, I'd leave the whole "objective beauty standards" thing at the door because a lot of women like a lot of things that you're probably not. And anyway, you might like long hair, but you're not all guys. I don't seem to have any trouble finding men who like my short hair. And I'm over 30.
Stunning, really inspiring too. Thank you for capturing!
I really love those "If you're thinking about…"!
gorgeous! only a few ladies can pull this look off though… wish i was one of them!
Actually, I think it's the other way around. Most women would look fantastic with a boyish haircut, whereas only very few women have hair that's thick and straight enough to let it grow out.
Only women who have very small, feminine, beautiful faces to begin with would be able to pull this off. They would honestly look good with any haircut. If they were bald people would still comment on how beautiful they are.
Well, if you don't have a "beautiful face", then your haircut won't make much of a difference either way.
Sorry, but I couldn't disagree more – I've seen lots of women without "very small, feminine faces" with short hair, who totally rocked it. You can have big nose or thick brows to look cool in the pixie cut, you just won't look like Mia Farrow. You should examine the charming top right lady better, by the way.
I think it's like Andy said – and you also meet lot of women, whose faces seems average, only because they're drowned in an average cut, which is just long…
I never understand this comment. Do people talk about women being able to "pull off" a ponytail, another hairstyle that highlights the face?
Invariably, when a picture on a blog is posted of a woman with short hair we get the dictates from some commenters about only certain women being able to wear short hair. I've *never* seen this, though: "Wow, she looks great with a ponytail. I could never pull that off. Only beautiful women/women with delicate features/etc. can look good in a ponytail." See how odd that is?
I suspect it's really not about how one looks in a particular hairstyle but about a ponytail still being considered feminine in North American cultures whereas a short haircut is not. Perhaps short hair just makes some onlookers uncomfortable because on some level they don't like the blurring of those gender lines.
That's it, well put, your last line sums it up for me – and if people were honest them too ! I don't believe a woman, or man, needs 'a certain look' to 'pull somethng off'. An attitude, maybe.
Why do most people commenting here remark on the woman top right of the montage ? Is it because she is the only one smilling with a carefree attitude ? I think that is what's more attractive and that's what people are attracted to, the smile not the haircut.
I totally agree. I have worn a version of this haircut for years, and I always get comments on how great it looks. And I don't resemble Mia Farrow one bit.
All that is necessary to know if your face is better suited to a short haircut is how well you look in a ponytail. Lots of women look better with their hair away from their face, and lots of hair isn't well-suited to longer or mid-length cuts.
Great short hair, like great glasses, adds funk to any style.
Oh man (no pun intended), how beautiful are these women?! The one on the top right seems so joyful and carefree. Women who are truly happy with themselves always seem to radiate energy into the world.
The garçonne haircut will never lose its cleancut, sleak, new aesthetic! Always a great classic.
I love this look on women – though it's got to be the right woman, it can be so beautiful when pulled off.
Love it!
Those women are so inspiring! :D I love the boyish kind of style!
xoxo Alex
I love this, did my boy cut a few months back, from shoulder length hair, quite liberating.
Women with boys cut are interesting it their face are interesting …. as the women in those pics!!
xo Daddy Lele from Lelli, italian fashion family
Great looks!!
All these women are beautiful! Really nice photos!
I really like it !
They look great in that style.
I have a pixie cut and I'm literally never going back to long hair. I just realized how unhappy and uncomfortable I feel with hair touching my neck and ears. To quote Russel Crowe,"it's like walking around with a dead koala on your back!"
This haircut needs a beautiful and femine face.
Stunning – I've always loved the boy cut, but never have had the courage to lop off all of my locks to rock it! Maybe someday!
Beautiful photos and girls! I really love the first photo!
J'ai les cheveux courts moi aussi !
Gorgeous photos of gorgeous women. I remember a number of these photos–they are part of what gave me the nudge and confidence to go short. Thank you Scott!
Wow these gals look great! Not sure if could pull this off but it is very sophisticated and fashion forward.
Ali of:
It is so wonderful to see this on your blog–shot hair IS feminine and beautiful!! I adore my boy cut and may never go back! I can't tell you how many women stop to tell me they wish they had the courage–JUST DO IT! make the decision. It's hair after all, it grows back!
I agree with you 100%. it happens to me all the time as well. GO GIRLS! dare things and you will realize how infinite are the possibilities and how artificial are the boundaries!
i JUST finished growing out my pixie cut but this makes me what to go back! the growing-out process, however, keeps me away from cutting my hair off again
love this!!!amazing!
Gorgeous! Especially the woman on the top right. Damn, so beautiful! I always think it takes such strength to do this, not just of bone structure but of character as well. Maybe one day I'll have the balls to do this myself…
I had that cut 4 years ago but curly and I think is very feminine,like these girls…
I had this cut 4 years ago but I think is timeless and very feminine!!!
Beautiful haircuts!
And actually it looks quite feminine!
But I wouldn't dare!
the moral of the pictogram appears to be: you can pull this off if you have stunning, resplendent eyebrows.
They look fabulous. I have long hair, but I wanna try boy cut. I'm just not sure. btw, these photos are so inspiring.
These women are so beautiful and look so comfortable in their own skin – you've captured their spirit in these shots
Short hair is sexy. I love my boy cut!
Should you ever decide to post a Part II with curly/coily-haired women…I'd love to submit a photo! ;)
Yes yes, I DO like it!
If you're thinking about a boy cut….you better have a face, but more importantly the attitude, to carry it off. It is an unforgiving style. And let's face it (no pun intended)….even the most beautiful short haired women, become invisible to men. Research has shown over and over, breasts and hair are the things that biology, drives men to look at. On the other hand? Fck it. I love a man that loves my pixie cut. My face is pleasant, my skin is fine and even, light. I cut my hair super short years ago, and bleached it white. Every week since, at least one, dark skinned (only one white guy so far) man stops, in his tracks, to tell me how much he loves my hair. One time, two guys stopped their car, in traffic, to tell me how "fine" I looked. The best part? I'm 60 years old.
I'm a seventeen year-old Italian girl with a boy hair cut, my father loves women with super short hair and my friends (boys and girls) seem to appreciate my hair, in my opinion there are women who are born to have a short hair cut, they just need to have courage, find the better hairstylist of the city, and tell him: "make me beautiful, cut my hair, short, super short"
Cece, your story is amazing!
Is your sense of self worth really based on how many men look at you?
You make a very good point ladyofletters. Lots of women also give me compliments on my hair all the time, younger women, and older women….I don't know why I didn't think to mention that. For too many years, yes, my sense of self worth was based almost completely on how men reacted to me. I was never much of a student. I was raised to believe that my looks were my ticket. Biology drives us, it's that simple. It sounds like you are one of the lucky females that doesn't care, and that is enviable. At this stage of my life, I'm happy to say that, finally, I don't care what men think. Or other women. Still, I take great care of myself, I'm a vibrant, healthy, very young looking 60. And, it is soooooo nice when a younger man actually notices me, and has the presence to tell me I look great. That's powerful, and I will never tire of that.
am really liking this conversation. our self-worth and confidence cannot help but be affected by the opinions of others. while most of the comments on the Sartorialist are positive, sometimes they are downright nasty. and I have noticed that tattoos, short hair, fur and smoking for some reason become 'polarizing issues' in a world that has much bigger problems to actually deal with. but then, you have the vanguard like 'cece' who has the courage to present a thoughtful opinion, written with style, candor and humility. bravo cece!
Fantastic! You should do one "If You're Thinking About… Mirrored Sunglasses"… because they seem to be in full swing for this fall and coming up spring season
Not very nice. Would look much better in long hair and women clothing.
I agree with the previous comment; that this cut needs a feminine face and add; and/or a certain body type. Love the Boy Cut, very sexy, in my opinion.
Thanks for these shots.
Beautiful! If I could pull it off, I would do it in a heartbeat!
They are just so chic!!! Love it
I wish I could!
xo Jennifer
Great pictures and haircuts! I had a good laugh about long hair making up for "loss of collagen". I guess after your 40th birthday you should look like Rapunzel?
I'm 63, and have very short, silver hair, and, like Cece, I get a lot of complements from guys of all ages.
The best part of being over 60? You don't have to pay attention to the likes of Niklas.
I loved reading your post. Thank you! :)
Oh, great! I've had a pixie short hair cut for the past 4 years and I was just about to start growing it out but now… I'm having second thoughts! I love how easy to manage it is and that fact that it sets me apart from most other young women my age. But, on the other hand, it would be nice to have more to work with. Sheesh. Decisions.
Would love to see more photos from this set!
i used to get a boycut 2 yrs ago.
its a lovely style
Short hair removes obvious femininity and replaces it with style. So elegant.
My favorite photos are top left and top right – I wish I could rock this style.
i love these two,too…especially the top right!!!she looks impeccable
How about a twin Sartorial List for older women? You sometimes feature older men. The young girls/boys are adorable but there are some pretty foxy and chic ladies out there, too – and we do follow your blog.
I really like your new articles "if you're thinking about…"
It's funny to see how people, by wearing the same thing, got such different styles. That is real fashion.
And these woman… They are all gorgeous! Who have said that boy cut is less feminine?
See you,
thanks!! i was precisely gathering inspiration about boy cut!! you're helping a lot!
they all look gorgeous & interestingly have similar face shape & bone structure. That's the real constraint along with the way the hair grows, not age or "what guys think". Chic at any age
beautiful women, I like this style!!
Ugh yes. I remember back in the day went Agyness sported a similar do. BRING IT BACK!
I love short hair on women. To me, personally, long hair is a deal breaker. But I don't think I've ever met a woman with short hair who's had it cut to attract men, it's usually for all the other reasons.
I have to disagree with the contributor who says women need longer hair as they get older. Apart from the dodgy politics the opposite is true. That's why older women tend to go for shorter cuts – it's much more forgiving as their hair condition changes over the years.
Love these photos and the haircut -
Just look at Dame Judith Dench!
I am sporting a boycut since almost 6 years (with a short in between when I thoght long hair would be better again) – and I love it! getting a lot of compliments & I finally feel like this is showing my personality the best – the intelligent still sporty style (and if I want, it's easy to be elegant)
I really want to try this one day!
I have a boy cut! I love it ;) xo, Alma
I absolutely love shot hair for women ! I wish we could see a few pictures of this hair style on "mature" women just to show how gorgeous and elegant it looks. For example : Tilda Swinton and Francoise Hardy.
P.S. ……Judy Dench, Maggy Smith…..
depends on the woman … is really good on some of the others is horrible
lomo 76
Just say yes!!! I love a "boy" cut. I wear a "boy" cut and I really wish folks would stop saying "you can only wear this if you're thin," or "you can only wear this if you are young." Ridiculous! If you own a look, you rock that look. Style is far more your attitude than what you slip on or how you cut your hair!
Can we get a posts on head-scarves with a few ethnic ladies?
I'm struck by how often the phrase 'pull it off' is being used, as if there is some trickery or slight of hand required to have a pixie.
As a man who loves women's faces, I think there is no 'pulling off' necessary. Faces show character and soul, and short hair makes your face so much more visible, and beautiful.
The responder who suggested the need to make up for collagen, instead of wanting to see what is, wants to see a predetermined image.
When you love and accept yourself, if you want short hair, you'll have it.
And if you want long hair, you'll have that instead.
Fairly simple, really.
Best comment here Rob, thanks.
The "boy cut" makes women look a bit more like boys.
Personally, I'm generally more attracted to women with regular longer hair.
I am neither young nor beautiful, but I love my short crop. It makes me feel bold & daring & adventurous!
they look magnificent, all of them. makes me want to call my hair stylist right away.
I did it last week, and it feels great!!!! Do it girls!
For a long long time I had this beautiful "american" long hair and after long of thinking and consulting a thousand times your old posts and garance posts for short hair I finally did it,,,,boys cut like Anne Catherine Freiss, and God I was never more beautiful and feminin in my life….everything is question of timing……
Hemingway would have approved.
Short or long or inbetween is begging the question. If the woman feels pretty in the style, she will be so. If the woman cares how she looks, her hair will show it. What is not attractive, short or long, is hair that says "I don't like myself and I don't care what I looks like." So sad to see that.
todo hermoso. la feminidad al máximo.
I'll never have the courage but I do like a good boy cut
I have had every length of hair imaginable. When I was younger and cut it short I always worried I didn't look sufficiently feminine or attractive and would grow it out again. Shortly after 30 I stopped caring whether men were attracted to me and only thought about whether they'd hire me. Suddenly having long hair seemed like a pointless hassle, so I cut it off – and for the first time I loved how I looked with a boy cut. My face hadn't changed, only my mind. I have never gone back. I love having very short hair. And there are few things more attractive than confidence.
really makes me want to chop off my long locks. love the brows on the top right photo!
Does anyone recall that article in Elle magazine titled Short Hairstyles:Do Haircuts Affect
Your Love Life: The painful truth about pixie cuts and short hairstyles? The woman who wrote the article downloaded a photo of the pretty pixie Swedish woman posted on TheSartorialist.com, emulated the hairstyle (she took about 10 inches off), and her boyfriend was no longer attracted to her anymore and broke up with her immediately.
I'm surprised no one has brought this article up before in any of the blogs. I think all the ladies above look gorgeous.
I love seeing a cute short cut. And my husband would love for me to have short hair. But I really love wearing hats and my long hair is the only thing that saves that look for me. For years I had short hair and looked terrible in any hat (not that I wear them every day but when I want to, they always work). Layers and changing it up are key to living with long hair. My mother (late 70′s) has a shoulder length layered cut (but long-looking compared to her friends who mostly have very short hair) and she looks the best to me. Very interesting discussion. All depends on one's level of confidence, I think… One thing though, the women in these photos are very young. No wonder they look so cute.
Ahh I've always loved (and admired the woman who have) this cut. If only I had the proper hair texture for this…
Thank you! i have a boy cut for a while now, love it and cannot consider my hair any other way anymore. Thank you for picturing it because as all theses comments show, we are a lot!!! and it is an almost never treated subject in fashion blogs and magazines. As all these women testifying above, i receive daily wonderful compliments about my hair and my courage, and i think it shows a real desire from women and men to see more short hair looks everywhere!! Society is ready for us, let's shine now!
They all look lovely. Once I cut my hair, I never looked back.
Wish I have thin hair too so that I can do real short boy cut! Asian Thick hair is NOT helpful for boy cut (no offense – im Asian…)
Just saw an amazingly beautiful boy cut on an Asian woman this weekend. I thought… Wish Sart would catch her since we don't see it very often and I wanted to study the cut to see why it worked so well.
Beautiful photos. I'm 64 and have worn my hair short for 43 years. By the way, my husband has never seen me with long hair!
Love the ladies with short hair best. Nothing like a short crop on a pretty face to turn my head!
I have been desperately seeking a shot of a girl you blogged with a very blond short cut and I think her eyebrows where bleached too. May have been over a year and a half ago but I can't find her and I want to look at her…
Add her to the next "thinking about a boy cut"?
Not sure why so many people are still close minded when it comes to women with short hair in the 21st century! beats me!
Lovely post, thank you.. Have had my boy cut for a year now..love it though to see some great pictures of beautiful powerful women rocking their boy hair makes me fall in love with it all over again.. Love the first girl rocking her quaff
Ha! my dear.
I'm not thinking anymore. Since one month my hair are totaly short and after 9 years of long hair-style with fringe …forelock like in second world war style… I've decided to cut them and I've lost all bad memories and all bad ideas with them. right now it's a fresh new start for me and for my passion
btw love the photos from Poland. fogg during those days was just alike from a fairytail
bises. Gabriela
the boycut means ragel and confident with style.
Iam thinking about boy cut…now, it is clear :)
I've had my pixie boy cut for several years now, very blond… I love it. I've always loved short hair. I love that I don't look like a common soccer mom, can dye it any colour, and sleep in twenty minutes more…
Hi, I cut 12 inches off my hair just yesterday after thinking about how neutral I am. For a long time, I was always afraid of standing out and I told myself that no matter what, I would at least try it and if I didnt like it it would grow back. I was told that since I have something of a round face, It would look bad on me and make my face look more round. I am 17, skinny with small features and a low confidence but I look beautiful with my cut and I feel so much more comftorable without all that hair. I want to keep it long forever really. And if guys cant see past my hair, as a person who would like a long meaningful relationship, they arent worth my time. And about feminity, im much more feminine and pretty than I used to be(: my advice is you never know till you try. You might prove the world wrong(:
I'm very grateful for those women who wear LONG HAIR, but for those who must have it short, greased, side-parted or shaved sides and back tell guys don't even bother trying. In a way, we're glad for the warning. lol
