How Shipping Works
We know that once you have placed an order with us, you want to receive it as quickly as possible, so we use the most reliable delivery companies in North America.
Depending on what you order and where you live, delivery to your home may entail using two different types of shipping carriers to ensure your order arrives safely. You will be called by the local shipping company to schedule a convenient time and date for delivery.
Unless otherwise specified, most shipments are shipped to arrive for a curbside delivery. The local delivery driver will not be prepared to take your furniture into your home. For smaller orders, we may opt to ship using UPS, FedEx or an alternative service.
When shipping your order, we will use one of three different shipping methods: Small Parcel Ground, Ground Freight or Furniture Carrier.
As most items are shipped to you directly from the manufacturer, different items you purchase may be shipped from different original locations. Your items may arrive on different days and with different shipping methods if you purchase items from multiple brands or if you place more than one order at once.
SPECIAL NOTE: All items are priced to include Free Shipping within the continental US. (48 contiguous States) except certain areas which are considered remote or isolated for delivery by Furniture Carriers and additional fees may be charged.
Is Free Shipping Really Free?
We want to offer you the lowest price possible. The price listed on the product information screen of the item you ordered is the price you will pay. Shipping is free to you unless otherwise stated and in certain zip codes which are considered remote or isolated for delivery by Furniture Carriers and additional fees may be charged. .
Standard Free Delivery (Default-No Charge)
Delivery to: The curbside of your residence. The product will not be carried upstairs. If you live in an apartment above the first floor of a building.
Assembly Service: None
Packaging: The product will be left in the original packaging.
Additional fees may apply for the following:
Redelivery fees ranging from $25 - $125 will be charged if you miss your delivery appointment. The decision to reattempt delivery is made solely at the freight carrier's discretion. Your item may be returned to Design Furnishings fulfillment warehouse if the freight carrier is unable to contact you for delivery or if you miss your delivery appointment. In these situations, the cost of shipping to you and return shipping will be deducted from any refund. See our Return Policy.
Storage Charge
Once the freight carrier has contacted you to arrange a delivery time, you must respond to their call within 1 business day. If the freight carrier has not heard from you and needs to store your item, you will be charged storage fees up to $50 per day. These daily storage fees may also apply if you cannot accept the delivery within 3 business days of the carrier contacting you.
Refused Delivery
If you refuse or return a non-defective or undamaged item, you will be responsible for all actual return shipping costs. Return shipping fees range anywhere from $100 to $695+, depending on the size and weight of the item. Your order will also incur a restocking fee 15% of the item's price and the original shipping charge. Return shipping fees should be paid directly to the freight carrier in advance. If not paid in advance, your return shipping fees will be deducted from your refund after the item is received at our warehouse.
Returns due to Damage: Please refer to our Damage Policy
If 1 or more boxes are missing you MUST make a note on the Waybill indicating how many boxes are missing...If you accept and sign that you received all the boxes without writing on the Waybill that 1 or more boxes are missing...we are unable to replace any missing items as the delivery company will not accept a claim for the missing box(s).
Time Definite Fee
Our freight carriers will do their best to arrange a convenient delivery time with you. If you need to request a specific delivery time outside their normal business hours, a "Time Definite" fee ranging from $75 to $125 may apply. Available delivery times are made solely at the freight carrier's discretion, and certain days and times may not be available in all areas.
Stair Carry/Extra Labor Fee
If you would like your item carried inside your residence, have it unpackaged, assembled, or carried up any flights of stairs, extra fees will apply. Residences or businesses that have steep uphill or downhill slopes leading to the entryway may also be charged additional fees. These fees will vary depending on your individual circumstances and can exceed $100. These services are not available in all areas. Please contact us for availability.
If you have any questions about shipping before or after placing an order, or while your order is on its way, call us toll-free at 877-751-6068.
Small Parcel Ground Shipping:
Smaller products will be shipped with regular ground shipping (generally FedEx, UPS or DHL). The average transit time is between 2-7 business days (not including pre-ship time) for any destination in the contiguous United States. Delivery times will depend on the local delivery schedule of the carrier, and it may not be possible to make an appointment.
Generally, ground delivery is available Monday to Saturday 9am to 8pm. A signature is not typically required: if the customer is not at home to accept delivery, the product will be left if it is safe to do so. If a signature is required the product will not be left at the address. Please note that deliveries cannot be made to a PO Box and that if you purchase multiple Ground Shipping items, they may be shipped via Ground Freight instead at the discretion of the manufacturer.
Delivery to a Business Address
For ground shipments (FedEx, UPS or DHL), delivery to a business address will be carried out during normal business hours Monday to Friday only. A signature will be requested on delivery. The carrier is not required to match the signature to the name on the package.
Furniture Carrier Delivery:
Many of our items are too large and heavy to ship with a ground carrier or common carrier. Because of this, we ship many items on a specialized Furniture Carrier to ensure your order is handled with the utmost care.
Furniture Carrier delivery will arrive via a large truck from contracted freight carriers. Furniture Carrier delivery is standard when the size and/or weight of the product is too large to ship using small-package carriers.
These deliveries require a recipient to be present during delivery and are made during normal business hours Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The delivery agent will call in advance to schedule a delivery appointment, generally within a 4-hour window.
Furniture Carrier deliveries are ground-level deliveries made outside the main home curbside. Please note the street of access must be at least 10 feet wide with an overhead clearance of at least 14 feet. If the street is smaller than this, additional handling charges may apply. The delivery truck will park in front of your home but the driver is not authorized to bring your item into your home with standard free shipping. You are responsible for signing the delivery receipt and receiving the product from the truck. A large item may need more than one person to unload. Transporting the item into the home or other area is the customer's responsibility. Delivery agents are not equipped to dispose of packaging materials with standard free shipping.
Once your item is shipped we will email tracking to you that will allow you to track your order online. Your order will be shipped to a local delivery company in your area and the local agent will call you to schedule a time to deliver to your home.
When Will My Order Arrive?
Each product on our websites has a pre-ship processing time, which is the number of business days it will take for your order to be processed, inspected and prepared for shipment from our warehouse. Actual delivery of your order will then take additional amount of time to arrive depending on how your package is being shipped. If a product is out of stock or put on backorder, you'll be notified of this information as quickly as we get it.
If you live in a rural area, the carrier may not have a daily route to your location and delivery may take up to an additional 15 business days.
For small parcel shipments : Depending on where you live in relation to the shipping warehouse, after the product leaves the warehouse or distribution center, you should receive your item between 2-7 business days.
For furniture carrier or truck freight: After your order has been shipped, the item should be delivered in approximately 1-3 weeks. If the item is being delivered to a residential address, an appointment for a delivery time will be made upon the arrival of your order at the local terminal. For deliveries to a commercial address, no appointment will be made. However, if you anticipate that there will be no one to accept the delivery on delivery day; you can call us to arrange an appointment.
Your order may be transferred to another truck or shipping company in route in order to facilitate delivery to your address and may seem to cause a short delay. These transfers when done are necessary with furniture freight shipments so that the proper trucks, handling and delivery service is used to ensure the safe arrival of your order. You can easily follow the progress of your order using the tracking number we provide to you once your order is picked up by the freight company.
Even though your order is handled as carefully as possible throughout transit, we still require that each order is inspected at the delivery agent before it is delivered to your door. You will be contacted by a delivery clerk to arrange a delivery time. Allow for up to a 4-hour block of time, Monday through Friday regular business hours; Saturday deliveries are made by special arrangement and are not always possible.
PLEASE NOTE: Delivery does not include removal of old furniture.
Lead Time -The average delivery times that are posted on our website are only for orders that are shipping within the contiguous United States.

It's not easy to keep up on the bills when you're an artist married to an actor. Sure, we have had moments of weakness where one of us has told the other, "Get a JOB, already," but never will we return to the soul-sucking jobs of our past. Sure, I made good money as an accountant and Jim did well working for the Federal Government – and both are perfectly respectable careers (well…working for the Fed is debatable on any given day…but I digress…) – but when you've tasted freedom as we both have, it is hard to give it up for "security." What is security of finances at the expense of happiness? I've found some of my greatest joy in some of my poorest moments.
This week, I made this graphic to celebrate Jim boldly stepping out of his comfort zone. He is a gifted actor, singer, writer, and husband (hey, that's a talent, trust me!) – but he's never stretched himself to try Shakespeare. Someone referred him to an audition and, tossing all fear aside (I mean, really, what's the worst that could have happened?) he auditioned. And got the part.
It gets better.
He had also made callbacks to be an extra in a zombie movie. While he's pretty much a natural before his morning coffee, he does aspire to more than just extrahood. The director was joking about how he should have an announcer for the show. Jim, in his best announcer voice said, "It's Zombie Night Live!" – and got that job. He might not even have to dress up as a zombie. Cool.
Riding the high of an incredible couple of days, Jim also got a third (and fourth part in a separate vignette) in a showcase.
Forsooth! He is now a PAID actor. He did not give up, and I hope he never does. I know I won't.
It all started with Jim stepping W-A-Y out of his comfort zone and chasing after his dream to use and hone his given talents.
Do you have a gift that should be shared? What is holding you back?

One of several college students banned from handing out copies of the U.S. Constitution on Constitution Day last month has filed a lawsuit.
A student rights organization backing Robert Van Tuinen says Modesto Junior College in California now will have to defend its idea of "free speech zones" in court.
WND reported in late September on a series of confrontations between school officials and students wishing to hand out copies of the Constitution.
Now represented by the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine and backed by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE, Van Tuinen has filed a lawsuit.
FIRE President Greg Lukianoff said the school administrators, who were caught on camera intervening, "were so unfamiliar with the basic principles of free speech that they prevented him from passing out the Constitution to his fellow students on Constitution Day."
"Even in the face of national shock and outrage, the college has failed to reform its absurd 'free speech zone.' Now it will have to defend that policy in federal court," he said.
Van Tuinen was in a grassy area by the student center Sept. 17, the anniversary of the Constitution's signing, when authorities halted his effort.
A campus police officer informed him that he could not pass out any materials without first registering with the student development office, according to FIRE. Van Tuinen unsuccessfully attempted to convince the officer that his right to free speech was being violated, and he went into the student center at the officer's request.
According to FIRE, Van Tuinen spoke with MJC administrator Christine Serrano, who told him that he could only pass out literature inside a "free speech zone." The zone, he was told, was "in front of the student center, in that little cement area."
Eventually, college President Jill Stearns said "students may distribute printed material on campus in areas generally available to students and the community as long as they do not disrupt the orderly operation of the college."
The case raises multiple counts of violation of free speech rights under the First Amendment, both as the rules were applied to him and as written, FIRE said. It also charges the district with violating the right to free speech guaranteed in the California Constitution and with failing adequately to train its employees to respect students' rights.
"Constitutional law can get pretty complicated at times. This is not one of those times," said FIRE Senior Vice President Robert Shibley. "As FIRE has said from the beginning, every person at Modesto Junior College responsible for enforcing this policy should have known better."
According to a report from Young Americans for Liberty, a group with more than 380 chapters and 125,000 students promoting liberty, at least two other colleges did the same thing.
At the College of Central Florida in Ocala, and officer told students they would have to go through his office to get permission "any time you want to approach our students."
"We can't hand out Constitutions?" an incredulous student asked.
"That's right."
Citing the need for "proper protocol," the officer said students could submit a request, and school officials would "check our calendar, make sure it doesn't conflict with what we're doing, then we'll approve it or deny it."
Likewise, at Madison Area Technical College in Wisconsin officials made certain students understood.
"Would you like me to go and get security to explain it in more detail?" one official demanded of the students.
The students were ushered off of what the school considered its sidewalk to another "public" sidewalk.
"You need to request the time and place that you want to have that activity," the school official said. "You can't just show up."
Alyssa Farah, director of communications for YAL, asserted the colleges "are in clear violation of the First Amendment."
"Simply put, the mere concept of a 'free speech zone' is an affront to liberty and should have no place on college campuses," she said.

The Heifer and the Ox
A Heifer saw an Ox hard at work harnessed to a plow, and tormented him with reflections on his unhappy fate in being compelled to labor. Shortly afterwards, at the harvest festival, the owner released the Ox from his yoke, but bound the Heifer with cords and led him away to the altar to be slain in honor of the occasion. The Ox saw what was being done, and said with a smile to the Heifer: "For this you were allowed to live in idleness, because you were presently to be sacrificed."

This week, Bitcoin held a key mark of $6,000, which caused a price recovery after a fairly long correction from the beginning of this year. The rise in the Bitcoin and other digital currencies prices began after a positive report of regulators to the US Senate Committee on Banking. The chairmen of the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission spoke for the need to protect consumers, but not to prevent the introduction of innovative technologies. Today, the BTC/USD quotes on the Bitstamp exchange, which is based in Luxembourg, are testing the $8.300 mark.
- Support levels: 8000.00, 7500.00, 6000.00
- Resistance levels: 8650.00, 10000.00 12000.00
At the moment, the BTC/USD quotes are consolidating. The nearest resistance is at the mark of 8650.00. The round level of 8000.00 is already a "mirror" support. The MACD indicator began to rise and moved to the positive zone, which indicates the power of buyers. Bitcoin is tending to recover.
If the price fixes above the local resistance of 8650.00, the BTC/USD quotes are expected to grow. The immediate goal of profit taking is the offer zone of 9500.00-10000.00. We do not exclude that in the medium term, the price may reach a key resistance of 12000.00. When following the positions, we recommend using a trailing stop.
An alternative option. If the price fixes below the 7500.00 mark, it is necessary to consider sales of BTC/USD. The movement is tending potentially to the support level of 6000.00.

July 23, 1998
(Senate) |
This Statement of Administration Policy provides the Administration's views
on S. 2307, the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies
Appropriations Bill, FY 1999, as reported by the Senate Appropriations
Committee. Your consideration of the Administration's views would be
The Administration appreciates the Committee's effort to include in its bill many of the priorities recently agreed to by the President and Congress in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). However, the allocation is simply insufficient to make the necessary investments in programs funded by this bill. As a result, a variety of critical programs are under-funded. The only way to achieve the appropriate investment level is to offset discretionary spending by using savings in other areas. The President's FY 1999 Budget proposes levels of discretionary spending for FY 1999 that conform to the Bipartisan Budget Agreement by making savings in mandatory and other programs available to help finance this spending. In the Transportation Equity Act, Congress -- on a broad, bipartisan basis -- took similar action in approving funding for surface transportation programs together with mandatory offsets. The Administration urges the Congress to consider such mandatory proposals for other priority discretionary programs. The Administration is concerned that the Committee bill could seriously disrupt air transportation safety and vital Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Coast Guard modernization programs, and delay Amtrak's progress towards operating self-sufficiency. The Senate could partially accommodate the funding increases recommended below by adhering more closely to the President's request for the Airport Grants program, High Speed Rail, Coast Guard Alteration of Bridges, and other programs. The bill also includes a number of objectionable language provisions. In particular, the Secretary of Transportation has indicated that he would recommend that the President veto the bill if it includes section 322, which could severely limit the use of project labor agreements. The Administration's concerns with the Committee bill are discussed below. Air Transportation and Highway Safety The Administration strongly urges the Senate to restore the $50 million reduction to FAA Operations and eliminate the earmarks for low-priority programs, such as subsidies for non-cost beneficial contract towers. These funds are necessary to ensure that the FAA can hire the security personnel and safety inspectors needed to meet the demands from increased air travel. To protect the safety of automobile travelers adequately, we ask that the Senate provide an additional $12 million for high priority National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) programs. In addition, the Administration urges the Senate to provide funding requested by the President to add a second civil signal to the Global Positioning System. FAA and Coast Guard Modernization The Administration is concerned about language that is intended to constrain outlays for FAA Facilities and Equipment in FY 1999. We question whether this provision can be implemented and, if so, whether it would lead to unintended and unfavorable programmatic effects. We look forward to working with the Senate to address our concerns. In addition, we urge the Senate to fund fully the President's request for the Facilities and Equipment account. Funding at any lower level could delay National Airspace System modernization. The Administration objects to the virtual elimination of funding for the Flight 2000 program. This program is a key element of the FAA's plans to make a transition to a more efficient, user involved, satellite-based air traffic control system to meet the air traffic needs of the next century. The Senate is requested to provide the $100 million in the FAA Facilities and Equipment account to deploy explosive detection systems. The Committee's decision to provide up to $100 million for this purpose in the Airport Grants account would preclude the FAA from deploying these systems based on security requirements and may result in fewer systems being deployed. The Administration opposes the Committee's reduction of $57 million to the President's request of $443 million for Coast Guard capital investments. These capital projects provide long-term operating savings and are necessary to ensure that the Coast Guard has the necessary infrastructure to fulfill its maritime safety, drug interdiction, environmental protection, and national security goals. In addition, the Administration urges the Senate to fund fully the President's request for $8.5 million for the Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System. Amtrak As this bill moves forward, we urge Congress to fund fully the President's request for Amtrak so that it can carry through on the bipartisan, five-year reform plan envisioned by the Amtrak Reform and Accountability Act of 1997. Amtrak is an essential component of the nation's inter-city transportation system. Access-to-Jobs The Administration requests that the Senate provide an additional $50 million to fully fund the President's request of $100 million for the Access-to-Jobs program. This program is a critical component of the Administration's welfare reform effort. The additional resources are essential to helping more individuals in communities around the country make a successful transition from welfare to work. Civil Rights and Office of the Secretary The Administration strongly urges the Senate to restore the 20-percent reduction made by the Committee to the funding request for the Office of Civil Rights. This reduction would significantly hamper the Department's ability to enforce laws that prohibit discrimination in Federally operated or assisted transportation programs. We also urge the Senate to provide the President's requested $62 million for the Office of the Secretary and to delete the Committee's recommended new account structure and limitation on political appointees. These changes are necessary to avoid a reduction-in-force and to allow the Secretary to manage the department effectively. Earmarks The Committee has earmarked almost 400 transit projects, as well as many airport, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and rail, and infrastructure credit projects. Consistent with our objections to TEA-21, the Administration believes that projects should be funded based upon their merit and that funds should not be directed to low-priority projects that cannot meet established selection criteria. Language Provisions Section 322 would preclude the Department of Transportation from using project labor agreements (PLAs), which are a contract mechanism to achieve efficiencies in construction projects. Furthermore, the provision is ambiguous, making its full impact difficult to assess and raising questions as to its applicability to a host of laws and regulations affecting workers. As noted above, the Secretary of Transportation would recommend that the President veto this bill if it includes section 322. The Administration strongly opposes section 342 of the bill, which would allow helicopters to operate and land on Federally-owned lands in Alaska, including wilderness areas. This would be harmful to species and habitat and disrupt Congress' carefully crafted balance on this issue in the Alaska National Interest Land Conservation Act (ANILCA). Under ANILCA, helicopter landings are permitted for emergency reasons and, on a case-by-case basis, for non-emergency use in non-wilderness areas. The Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture have previously recommended that bills containing similar provisions be vetoed. The Administration requests that the Senate delete the provisions in both the Coast Guard and FAA operating expenses appropriations language that would prohibit the Coast Guard and the FAA from evaluating options for collecting fees for their services. User fees may be a critical means in the future for ensuring that the Coast Guard and the FAA have adequate resources to meet their operating and capital needs without significantly reducing other vital transportation programs. The Administration requests that the Senate delete the provision allowing states to establish separate standards for licensing drivers on commercial vehicles that do not cross state boundaries. This would seriously undermine the single-license concept of the national commercial driver's license which prevents drivers from spreading violations across multiple licenses held in several States. |

Direct Credit CardChecks
by Stephen King.
ARCHIVED and SEALED in an acid-free protective book cover upon receipt here and then sealed in plastic for complete archival protection.
OVERVIEW: The latest from legendary master storyteller Stephen King, a riveting, extraordinarily eerie, and moving story about a man whose mysterious affliction brings a small town together—a timely, upbeat tale about finding common ground despite deep-rooted differences. Although Scott Carey doesn't look any different, he's been steadily losing weight. There are a couple of other odd things, too. He weighs the same in his clothes and out of them, no matter how heavy they are. Scott doesn't want to be poked and prodded. He mostly just wants someone else to know, and he trusts Doctor Bob Ellis. In the small town of Castle Rock, the setting of many of King's most iconic stories, Scott is engaged in a low grade—but escalating—battle with the lesbians next door whose dog regularly drops his business on Scott's lawn. One of the women is friendly; the other, cold as ice. Both are trying to launch a new restaurant, but the people of Castle Rock want no part of a gay married couple, and the place is in trouble. When Scott finally understands the prejudices they face–including his own—he tries to help. Unlikely alliances, the annual foot race, and the mystery of Scott's affliction bring out the best in people who have indulged the worst in themselves and others. From Stephen King, our "most precious renewable resource, like Shakespeare in the malleability of his work" (The Guardian), Elevation is an antidote to our divisive culture, as gloriously joyful (with a twinge of deep sadness) as "It's a Wonderful Life."
2018 Scribner Hardcover. New / New and sealed with an acid-free book cover. 450000.

Richa Badhalia, Entrepreneur & Manifestation Coach
In the vibrant tapestry of India's beauty landscape, Faith & Patience emerges as a trailblazer, proudly claiming the title of India's first camel milk hair care brand. Founded in 2018 by Richa Badhalia, this brand's success story is a fusion of passion, indigenous ingredients, and a commitment to ethical beauty. Richa's journey began in 2014 during her four-year stint studying in Singapore, Dubai, and Sydney. It was here that she not only honed her academic skills but also delved into the world of beauty, researching and creating cosmetics for friends and family. These formative years instilled in her the importance of reading labels, cultivating an awareness of natural and organic beauty products. In 2015, Richa's consciousness about ethical practices in the beauty industry deepened as she marveled at the well-maintained animals in Australia, Dubai, and Singapore. A surprising revelation about the world's costliest coffee being crafted from elephant dung marked a turning point in her perspective.
The following year, her concerns shifted to the welfare of camels in Rajasthan, where they were being tragically slaughter for meat. This led her to the Camel Conservation Project, unraveling the miraculous benefits of camel milk. This discovery set the stage for what would become Faith & Patience's signature ingredient – camel milk. In 2017, Richa's commitment went beyond research as she drove 240 kilometers from Brisbane to the Gold Coast to visit a camel milk farm and engage in discussions about the Camel Conservation Project. The year 2018 brought a unique blend of pursuits for Richa. While she was studying for the prestigious IAS (Indian Administrative Service) and teaching underprivileged children who had never been to school, Faith & Patience emerged as a means to fund their school fees. The brand quickly gained popularity among customers, resonating with its ethos of ethical beauty and social responsibility. In 2019, Richa's personal and professional worlds merged as she married Meet Badhalia. Together, they established a manufacturing facility in Jaipur, Rajasthan, laying the groundwork for Faith & Patience's production. The pinnacle of their journey arrived in 2020 when Faith & Patience introduced India's first Camel milk shampoo and conditioner. This groundbreaking move not only marked a significant leap in the beauty industry but also aimed to support the Camel Conservation Project run by NGO Camel Charishma. It was a testament to the brand's commitment to changing the beauty game, one innovative product at a time. Faith & Patience's success story encapsulates Richa's journey of having faith in native ingredients, flora, and fauna of India, combined with modern medical science. It's a tale of recognizing the beauty in India's own heritage, finding inspiration in Rajasthani camels over Australian Kangaroos, and ultimately manifesting this journey into the creation of a brand that embraces the values of faith and patience.

Pearl Jam Announce New LP, Release 'Can't Deny Me' Single
Pearl Jam's first new studio album in nearly five years is on its way — and the set's first single, "Can't Deny Me," is already here.
The group's new LP, which serves as the follow-up to 2013's Lightning Bolt, doesn't have a publicly announced title or release date yet, but it was reportedly wrapped relatively recently; according to the group's site, "Can't Deny Me" was recorded last month in Seattle, with longtime producer Brendan O'Brien at the helm. Singer Eddie Vedder wrote the lyrics to guitarist Mike McCready's music, while bassist Jeff Ament worked with videographer Kevin Shuss to create the single's artwork, which you can view above.

A swaddle blog! Now with new footnote action!
Because ruminating about swaddling is all that I'm capable of during this dark dark time that is THE HEAD COLD.
So, swaddle update:
When last I swaddle-ranted, I swore to just resign myself to the swaddle and shut up about it. And hey, I've kept those promises. Mostly. We are still resigned to the swaddle - it works. 'Nuff said. And here on Survivor: Child Island - where I may not yet be outwitted, but certainly am being outplayed and outlasted - I do what I must to survive.
Anyway, we're at the point now where the swaddling is such a potent sleep cue (1) that her eyelashes begin to flutter the moment the tucking and binding begin. Sweet, sweet the swaddle is that guarantees the sleep...
Besides which, I'm now convinced that swaddling does not undermine my efforts to be a good mother. Because a) it gets Baby to sleep and SLEEP IS GOOD. And, b) I have met the Turbo Swaddlers and they are not us. I am fully confident that even if I swaddle Baby until she is eighteen I will not have parented as excessively as these people.
The Turbo Swaddlers, who have a baby that is fully one month older than Baby o'mine, are a couple that the Husband and I engaged in discussion recently and who, we learned immediately (because I asked, because my self-imposed blog rules about swaddle-obsessing do not apply in the outside world), swaddle their baby. OH GOD YES they swaddle their baby; indeed, said Mr. Turbo Swaddler, they have their baby swaddled about 80% of the day. Awake, sleeping, eating, you name the activity, that child is swaddled throughout.
That, my friends, is extreme swaddling. I am the first to acknowledge - nay, embrace - the fact that some forcible confinement (2) is necessary to baby-wrangling and to child-rearing more generally. But the full-time swaddle? That's raising veal.
1. Sleep cues and sleep props are a topic that the Baby Experts hold forth about at length. For those that don't know: sleep cues, good; sleep props, BAD. Sleep cues are those lovely little hints that suggest ever so politely to your child that the time for sleeping is arriving and they should prepare themselves hence. A bath, for example. The putting on of pajamas. The sleep cue lets the child know that she must now settle herself and drift off quietly to sleep. Sleep cues are good, according to those who claim to know, because they do not get in the way of 'self-soothing' and other such good 'sleep habits.'
Sleep props are those things that get your child to sleep. Period. No hints, no suggestions, no leaving it to baby to work out the whole sleep thing herself. They just get the kid to sleep. Like Ambien would, if it were ok to give babies Ambien, which, for the record, it is NOT. Like nursing, rocking, cuddling, and - yes - swaddling. They are, almost without exception, things that a parent does to or for the child. And so these are BAD because - the argument goes - they interfere with 'self-soothing' and so the development of 'good sleep habits.' (Yes, I AM deploying the scare quotes sarcastically.)
Sleep cues teach the child how to get herself to sleep; sleep props dispense with the middleman and get straight to the sleep. And they are, apparently, (like Ambien) habit-forming and so BAD.
To which I say: SO THE EFF WHAT?
First, the way I figure it, whatever gets the little darling to sleep is good. Except maybe Ambien. Or liquor. Anyway: SLEEP = GOOD. And second, who the hell doesn't need sleep props? Nice cuppa tea, steamed milk, sex, Ambien, liquor - grown-ups are all over the sleep props. I don't know that I, personally, have ever just 'cued' myself to sleep by putting on pajamas and laying down. I, and anyone with whom I have discoursed about sleep, have always relied upon sleep props. (I'm not saying which ones. Let's just say that prior to pregnancy and breastfeeding, it wasn't usually tea. Now, of course, it's all about the tea.)
So there it is, my formal position on the issue of swaddling as a sleep prop. Embrace the sleep prop! But if it makes you feel more comfortable, tell yourself it's just a cue and get on with it.
Yep. That's a baby jail. (What in parent Newspeak is now referred to as a play-yard. C'mon. It's a pen. If you're going to cage your kid up, call it what it is, and deal.) And yep, Baby's in it.
Detained for dealing in sleep props.

Kitchens are the guts of the home, and everyone makes use of them in a different way. For a kitchen in a Connecticut family house , design duo Vivian Lee and James Macgillivray collaborated with a neighborhood millworker Wayne Tobin. In the 1980s, there was a backlash in opposition to industrial kitchen planning and cupboards with folks putting in a mixture of work surfaces and free standing furniture, led by kitchen designer Johnny Gray and his idea of the "unfitted kitchen".
7 Separate summer kitchens had been additionally common on giant farms within the north; these had been used to arrange meals for harvest workers and duties resembling canning through the warm summer months, to keep the heat out of the primary house. Another reason for the trend again to open kitchens (and a foundation of the "kitchen object" philosophy) is adjustments in how food is prepared.
In colleges the place dwelling economics, meals expertise (previously often known as " domestic science "), or culinary arts are taught, there are typically a collection of kitchens with multiple gear (comparable in some respects to laboratories ) solely for the purpose of educating. Daidokoro is the place where food is ready in a Japanese house Till the Meiji period , a kitchen was additionally called kamado (ã‹ã¾ã©; lit.
After spending greater than 60 hours researching 70 trash cans, then testing 15 of them, we have discovered that the Simplehuman Rectangular Step Trash Can is one of the best for many kitchens.

Last summer I learned about the first ever Soft Flex "Flex Your Creativity" Contest. I met Sara Harding, Soft Flex Girl while I was at the Bead & Button Show. I purchased my first set of the Soft Flex Trios at that show in the Sophisticated color palette. Soft Flex Trios are three colored beading wires, and the contest required that you show them off.
Usually the wire I choose is so utilitarian because it is hidden inside the beads, but this would be a challenge. Lucky for me I stopped at the Jangles booth right away and found the adorable little pinwheel flower and two large ceramic links in perfect harmony with my Sophisticated trio palette of coral, bronze and black.
At about the same time that I came back from Bead & Button, I was hoping to participate in the Art Bead Scene monthly challenge and the painting was Kandinsky's. What intrigues me most about the Art Bead Scene challenges is that I really want to know more about the paintings and the artists. So I go into research mode. I didn't know a lot about Kandinsky but it was clear to me that the key to his paintings was an understanding of color. That's it! "The Key to Kandinsky (is Color)" was born!I took a skeleton key and used the grooves in the shank to anchor the wires. This would be the toggle bar to my large ceramic ring.
I found I had some mother of pearl donut beads and some glass seed beads with the turquoise and coral color palette. It all came together when I found that I had these turquoise striped stone beads in my stash from another piece leftover. And I threw in the vintage plastic faceted coral bead as a pop to balance the design out.
Weaving the wires over and around the beads allowed the great color to shine through. And it is so much more interesting than if I had just strung one utilitarian wire through the center of the beads, what do you think?
I was thrilled to find out that after the vote (3,800 in this first contest) I took 6th place. And I was even more excited when they said that they wanted to show off this design in a magazine ad. They were so sweet to send me a CD containing about 30 different shots of this piece (some of which you see here). This necklace has more pictures of itself than I do!
UPDATE: Thanks to Miss Jennifer of Jangles for making this PDF into a jpg for me!
That girl knows computers ;-)
I have been told that this ad will appear in the Summer Stringing issue. So even though I didn't manage to get anything accepted into that issue, I do have this great ad for my portfolio. (I wanted to put it out here for you, but I couldn't get Blogger to accept a PDF file. Bummer! You will just have to keep an eye out for it!)That girl knows computers ;-)
And I will be the June designer of the month for Soft Flex on their website. I will share more of that as it happens.
The new Soft Flex "Flex Your Creativity" contest is underway...and the theme this time is STEAMPUNK! Get yourself a Trio in any color (my new fave color combination is "Egg Hunt"... appropriate for the season even!), and then create a drop dead gorgeous design. Top prize is $500...and that is worth flexing your creativity for!
What is your feeling about entering contests?
Do you have a favorite contest that you would like to share? What cool idea can you come up with for showing the wire instead of hiding it?
Is there something in your imagination that is dying to get out?
What is it about the steampunk craze that you enjoy the most?
What would you do with that kind of money? Do tell!
Check It Out::Flex Your Creativity
Enjoy the day!

The death toll from the ongoing Camp Fire near Paradise, California continues to grow as authorities found another eight bodies, increasing the number of confirmed dead to 58.
The Camp Fire is the largest single wildfire in California history, now doubling the death toll of second-deadliest fire in California history.
The number of confirmed destroyed structures also has increased to more than 10,000.
The death toll could continue to rise as the Butte County Sheriff's Office said that nearly 100 people remain missing. Most of the missing are elderly residents of Paradise.
One bit of good news is that officials are starting to get the fire under containment. The Camp Fire scorched 138,000 acres and is now 35 percent contained.
Meanwhile, authorities continue to battle a massive blaze in Southern California. The Woolsey Fire has burned 98,362 acres and is 52 percent contained, officials from LA Fire said.

At Bill's Fast Lube & Smog, we help our Delano customers' cars run as cleanly and efficiently as they possibly can. We provide a range of emissions testing services to ensure that your car is running and driving its best, as well as complying with all local smog regulations. Should a problem arise with any of your vehicle's emission systems, we provide the parts and expertise to get you back on the road. Bill's Fast Lube & Smog can replace mufflers/catalytic converters, refill diesel exhaust fluid, and make sure the full range of filters in your vehicle's exhaust system are working perfectly.
Regulators understand that older cars simply can't meet modern emissions standards without extensive modifications. For newer cars however, passing a smog test is a requirement of road legality. Call us at 661-725-8232 to learn more about the emissions requirements for your vehicle.
Emissions testing (also known as smog testing) is a vital part of the maintenance of your vehicle. E-tests provide your mechanic with important information about your car's engine and exhaust system. If important components, like your car's catalytic converter aren't working properly, the car isn't running as it was intended to by the manufacturer. Inefficiency costs you extra money in fuel and does unnecessary harm to the planet. Emissions testing can also affect the value of a vehicle you're trying to sell; while you can still sell a car without a valid e-test certification, you'll get more money for one that has passed the test.
There are several reasons that a car may fail its emissions test. There may be a problem with the vehicle's fuel system adding too much fuel to the air-fuel ratio required for proper combustion within the cylinders of the car's engine. This is known as "running rich" and results in the smell of gasoline from fuel passing through the engine and exhaust system without being fully burnt. Causes of this issue range from faulty fuel injectors to issues with the engine's control computer. There may also be problems with oxygen sensors or the vehicle's ignition system. At Bill's Fast Lube & Smog, we use a complete set of diagnostic equipment to determine the problem and fix it quickly, explaining every step of the process to you, our valued patron. Call us at 661-725-8232 or send us an email to arrange a health check for your car's emissions system today!
