Quick hits (part I)
July 2, 2016 Leave a comment
1) So, maybe princess movies are good for boys, but princess culture is bad for girls (though, I've not seen any truly negative consequences in my princess-loving daughter).
2) Among other silliness, our state's Republican leaders now seem to think we need a constitutional right to hunt and fish. Seriously? Honestly, this just makes an absolute mockery of what a Constitution is supposed to be about.
3) Should we even allow citizens in a democratic republic the power to make major policy– without checks– via referendum such as the Brexit case?
4) Are family friend policies for professors unfairly friendly to male professors?
5) Wedding gifts as a sign of social connection (I admit I feel lame choosing off the registry for someone I know well, but usually do it anyway):
VEDANTAM: Well, Ward and her adviser Susan Broniarczyk conducted a series of experiments, Audie, that found that close friends are indeed more likely than strangers to buy things that they think we want or need rather than simply listen to the preferences that we've expressed ourselves.
They also found interestingly that when gift-giving is anonymous, when volunteers give gifts anonymously, this effect disappears, meaning close friends are now OK with buying off of a registry. In other words, when our close friends depart from a registry, they say they're doing it because they know what we really want more than we know ourselves. But if that was the case, they should still buy those gifts when they're giving anonymously.
The fact that they don't suggests the real reason close friends depart from the registry is to send a signal to us, to the world, maybe even to themselves that they have a special relationship with us and the unique gift is an advertisement for that special relationship.
6) People talk a lot about private prisons, but it really is so much more than prisons. Of course, the real problem is that it creates incentives to increase human suffering (i.e., less quality in supervision, etc.) to make more profit.
7) Is our criminal justice war on poor people really a war on poor Black people?
8) Just a reminder that Donald Trump's economic policies are phenomenally bad.
9) Oh it feels good to see Ken Starr get his comeuppance.
10) Oh, my I love this formulation from law professor Stephen Carter, via Conor Friedersdorf:
Law professors and lawyers instinctively shy away from considering the problem of law's violence. Every law is violent. We try not to think about this, but we should. On the first day of law school, I tell my Contracts students never to argue for invoking the power of law except in a cause for which they are willing to kill. They are suitably astonished, and often annoyed. But I point out that even a breach of contract requires a judicial remedy; and if the breacher will not pay damages, the sheriff will sequester his house and goods; and if he resists the forced sale of his property, the sheriff might have to shoot him.
This is by no means an argument against having laws.
It is an argument for a degree of humility as we choose which of the many things we may not like to make illegal. Behind every exercise of law stands the sheriff – or the SWAT team – or if necessary the National Guard. Is this an exaggeration? Ask the family of Eric Garner, who died as a result of a decision to crack down on the sale of untaxed cigarettes. That's the crime for which he was being arrested. Yes, yes, the police were the proximate cause of his death, but the crackdown was a political decree.
The statute or regulation we like best carries the same risk that some violator will die at the hands of a law enforcement officer who will go too far. And whether that officer acts out of overzealousness, recklessness, or simply the need to make a fast choice to do the job right, the violence inherent in law will be on display. This seems to me the fundamental problem that none of us who do law for a living want to face.
But all of us should.
11) Love this WRAL editorial— abolishing local government is simply the logical conclusion of the actions of the NC Republican legislature.
12) Great– and horribly depressing– NYT story about municipalities bidding out essential services– ambulances, etc.,– to private equity firms who then, not surprisingly, do a piss-poor job of serving essential public needs. Merica.
13) Syphilis, yes syphilis, is making a comeback in America. I wonder which political party we can blame for failing to properly fund our public health infrastructure.
14) How Trump systematically stiffed small businesses in the building of his casinos.
15) Really liked this Atlantic article about our "war on stupid people." We truly have come too highly value intelligence in this country (and I say that as one who very much used to suffer from that particular bias– largely inherited from my parents).
16) The Supreme Court's three most conservative members really seem to be willing to let pretty much anything go in the name of freedom of religion.
17) Really enjoyed this article on how the Washington Post has changed under Jeff Bezos.
18) Garrett Epps with a very interesting piece on the genuinely evolving jurisprudence of Anthony Kennedy.
19) Friedman on Brexit (and Trump):
A major European power, a longtime defender of liberal democracy, pluralism and free markets, falls under the sway of a few cynical politicians who see a chance to exploit public fears of immigration to advance their careers. They create a stark binary choice on an incredibly complex issue, of which few people understand the full scope — stay in or quit the E.U.
These politicians assume that the dog will never catch the car and they will have the best of all worlds — opposing something unpopular but not having to deal with the implications of the public actually voting to get rid of it. But they so dumb down the debate with lies, fear-mongering and misdirection, and with only a simple majority required to win, that the leave-the-E.U. crowd carries the day by a small margin. Presto: the dog catches the car. And, of course, it has no idea now what to do with this car. There is no plan. There is just barking.
Like I said, not the end of the world yet, but if a few more E.U. countries try this trick we'll have quite a little mess on our hands. Attention Donald Trump voters: this is what happens to a country that falls for hucksters who think that life can just imitate Twitter — that there are simple answers to hard questions — and that small men can rearrange big complex systems by just erecting a wall and everything will be peachy. [emphasis mine]
20) Really meant to do a post on this fascinating interview in Vox about IQ. But, it's been sitting in an open tab since May, so onto quick hits it goes.

Getting started with Essential Oils can be very overwhelming. I put it off for a long time because there are so many oils, so many uses, and no one I knew personally had ever used them. I didn't know where to start, so I just kept pushing it off until I could "find the time". Lets face it though, everything that gets pushed off until there is enough time never actually gets done. It wasn't until I was approached by someone who used them and knew I was interested that I really got jump started. I hope that this little introduction for beginners on exploring essential oils will help you jump start your journey with using them and not keep pushing it off like I did.
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are derived from flowers, plants, seeds and bark. They are highly concentrated which gives them their medicinal properties. When choosing an essential oil it is important to purchase those which are "Therapeutic Grade". This means that they are carefully derived from a pure source, usually by a steam distillation, and do not contain any additives.
You'll find you are already familiar with many different sources of essential oils:
- Lavender
- Lemon
- Peppermint
- Fennel
- Rose
- Tea Tree
- Oregano
Just to name a few!
How Do I Use Essential Oils?
Aromatic – Inhalation of essential oils is quick and easy. It can be as simple as breathing in the scent from the bottle, placing a drop or two in the palm of your hands and breathing deeply, or dropping in steaming water. Using an electric diffuser like the one pictured above is an extremely effective way to not only scent your home naturally but to allow the entire family to gain the healing benefits of essential oils. Essential oils give the greatest benefit when used aromatically.
Internal– Since essential oils are made from things like flowers and plants they are generally safe to ingest according to many of the companies that distribute them. Not all essential oils are to be ingested. However, an oil like lemon, for example, is just extracted from lemon peels so it can act as a dietary supplement. You might add essential oils to water and drink them or add them in to gel capsules to be swallowed. You will want to research which essential oils can be ingested and what they will do. You may also wish to consult with a Certified Aromatherapist when using oils internally.
Topical – Some essential oils can be applied directly on the skin, know as "neat" application. Others must be diluted with a carrier oil. Using a carrier oil is actually the preferred method of topical application because it allows the oil to be more readily absorbed by the body and lets you cover a larger surface area. Contrary to what many people think using a carrier oil actually makes the essential oil MORE and not less effective. Please note that any and all essential oils used on children should be diluted and some essential oils should never be used on children. Carrier oils should have a light aroma or none at all and can be important to use for maximal skin absorption. There are many different oils which can be used as a carrier and some you likely already have in your kitchen.
Examples of carrier oils:
- olive oil
- fractionated coconut oil
- sweet almond oil
- argan oil
- avocado oil
- grapeseed oil
Again, just to name a few!
Why Should I Use Essential Oils?
Essential oils can offer easy and natural health solutions to allow your body to perform to its fullest potential. Using essential oils can be beneficial for many common ailments. We have used them to help with muscle pain, congestion, headache, and improved sleep quality. They are considered to be very safe when used appropriately (as with any medicinal product like over-the-counter medicines and herbs) and effective when used as directed. What I love most about essential oils is their preventive health abilities and that they can work in conjunction with other medical treatments. Aside from the direct health benefits they can also be used to detox your home by being included in cleaning products, air fresheners, soaps, body lotions and cooking!
Who Should Use Essential Oils?
EVERYONE! Seriously. Everyone can gain benefits from using essential oils. People have found help from oils with just about every ailment from nerve and muscle pain to managing blood sugar levels. Essential Oils are especially effective for acute problems such as a mucousy cought or a muscle ache. They can be used as a preventive measure as well to keep your immune system functioning at an optimal level or keep your metabolism revved up.
Are Essential Oils Safe?
When used correctly essential oils are very safe. Because they can have powerful health effects you should always research how to properly use each one. There are wonderful scientific resources on essential oils and anyone using them should have one on hand. Additionally, some oils should be avoided if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have medical conditions like high blood pressure or epilepsy. I'd be happy to help you find this information if there is something specific you are concerned about. In general, essential oils are the perfect natural solutions to have on hand for whatever life throws at you because of their effectiveness and safety.
Where Can I Buy Essential Oils?
As I've mentioned above, it is very important to choose therapeutic grade essential oils. This means there are no additives or filling agents, just pure oils. Many health food stores sell essential oils and you can also find them online. Please be sure that whatever oils you are purchasing are therapeutic grade so they do not have filler chemicals added. Reading the labels is very important. If the oil says it is only for aromatic use then it is not therapeutic grade and not safe to use for the health benefits, even aromatically.
I hope that this introduction was helpful to you and that you'll decide to take the plunge and try out essential oils today. If you are wanting to live a more natural life and detoxify your home then essential oils will absolutely help you reach those goals.

€100,000 plus in supports for top Kilkenny Energy Town
Expression of Interest Form
Is YOUR town Kilkenny's Energy Town? Download an Expression of Interest form here to get your town a place in the competition
Kilkenny People Press Release
Press Release: Kilkenny People - 18 Feb 2019: Brian Keyes
KILKENNY is leading the way in a countywide sustainable and renewable energy competition with a €100,000 plus prize fund which the organisers hope could catch on not just in Ireland but has the potential to be replicated globally.
Kilkenny LEADER Partnership has teamed up with the internationally-renowned and locally based 3 Counties Energy Agency (3 CEA) to find Kilkenny's Energy Town. The whole county initiative will support communities and business interests in a number of qualifying, mid-sized towns in the county to become more sustainable energy efficient and to reduce their carbon emissions. From this, one overall winner will be crowned Kilkenny's Energy Town.
A series of information meetings are being held in four key, central hubs from the end of this month to explain the initiative and householders, residential groups, businesses and the wider community in these areas and the surrounding hinterland, who are interested in competing, are all encouraged to attend and see how they might benefit.
The free, hour-long and easy to understand information events, all beginning at 7pm sharp, start out in Callan on Thursday, February 28 with a session at the KCAT Art and Study Centre on Mill Lane. The Barrow Valley Activities Hub in Graiguenamanagh is the venue for the second information session on Monday, March 4. The third information evening is in Vision Mooncoin on Thursday, March 7. The final session runs on Monday, March 11, at Castlecomer Hall. It is hoped that interested communities will turn out in numbers at their nearest meeting point.
Selected towns will be invited to audit their current use of energy and carbon emissions and to develop a plan to optimise their energy sustainability, Kilkenny LEADER Partnership CEO, Declan Rice, explained. Supporting renewable energy was at the core of the 2014 – 2020 LEADER Local Development Strategy, he said.

From ancient art to walks with a local, a trip through Australia's Red Centre with Intrepid Travel leaves Chloe Cann in awe
It's only while gazing at the huge burnt-orange mass looming in the distance that I begin to understand why it is sacred. Dawn is just beginning to break, and in its rosy glow no other form is visible on the horizon. No matter in which direction you look, beyond the stark sandstone monolith ahead, the surrounding landscape is as flat as Naomi Campbell's stomach.
Australia's most iconic landform, Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock) is otherworldly in a way I had not expected. It wows not just with its beauty, which changes with each shift in light and angle of viewing, but with its unusual geology and central place within the culture of the Anangu – the original owners of this land.
Situated in the Northern Territory, the Red Centre counts desert, mountain ranges and gorges among its attractions – many of which our group of 18 explores on Intrepid Travel's three-day Uluru Adventure.
The ancient monolith is the major drawcard, and the tour allows guests plenty of time to soak it up: from a walk around Uluru's perimeter come sunrise to watching the last waves of light wash over its contours at sunset, a glass of sparkling wine in hand and a smorgasbord of emu pate and smoked kangaroo sausage to snack on.
Known in geological terms as an "inselberg", meaning "island mountain", the formation of Uluru began 550 million years ago. Rainwater gradually eroded a nearby mountain range, depositing sand on the surrounding plain in large fan shapes that became miles thick. Fifty million years later, the area became an inland sea. And, as mud and more sand fell to the sea floor, the weight compacted the existing deposits into a swathe of solid rock. It wasn't until 100 million years later, following the sea's disappearance, that the Uluru we recognise today came to be. A huge shift in the earth's tectonic plates caused the fan-shaped mass of sandstone that was once horizontal to be thrust vertically by 90 degrees.
But what the eye can see is only half the story. "Uluru is like an iceberg," explains our guide and driver, Claire, as we approach its vast silhouette. "It continues underground for about three to four miles."
Even its colouring, she notes, is deceptive – the sandstone's natural grey hue is lost because of its high iron content, meaning the surface basically rusts.
It's hard to appreciate the scale of Uluru until you stand beside it. Rising 348 metres out of the desert, it is taller than the Eiffel Tower. And, with a circumference measuring almost six miles, it takes about three-and-a-half hours to walk around its base. On Intrepid's Uluru Adventure, your clients should expect to set their alarms for pre-5am each day, but the pay-off is being able to complete the base walk without the stifling heat Australia's Outback is known for. The early start also means your clients will share the sacred site with few other souls, and witness the full extent of Uluru's most celebrated quality – its many colours.
At first light, I watch as a dark, almost crimson red engulfs the rock, before transforming into a juicy shade of orange, then a camel hue, and finally a light mocha colour. From afar, Uluru looks smooth and featureless, however surprising details emerge on closer inspection: pockmarked cheeks, rippled surfaces, hidden caves and waterholes. I become so transfixed by its many nooks and chameleon-like colours that I frequently walk straight into other group members.
While signs dot the Base Walk, offering some insight into native plants and marking sites that are ceremonial, it's no match for first-hand knowledge.
All of Intrepid's Australia trips have a First Nations element and, on the Uluru Adventure, that entails a nature walk with a local Anangu guide. With the help of a translator, our guide Sarah talks to us in local dialect Pitjantjatjara about the nomadic hunting and gathering lifestyles of her ancestors, traditional art forms, as well as "tjukurpa", or creation stories of the land.
She shows us ancient rock art in rock shelters, makes drawings in the sand that detail the symbols passed down through generations of Anangu people, and speaks of the "mai" (bush foods) that have sustained indigenous communities living in the Outback for the past 30,000 years.
Uluru might be considered by some as the jewel in the crown of the Red Centre, though our group of Brits, Germans, French, Dutch, Americans and even an Australian, is privy to plenty of other Outback gems.
We explore the lesser-known terracotta domes of Kata Tjuta, meaning "many heads" in Pitjantjatjara – a group of 36 rock formations that lies 31 miles away from Uluru, but still within the same national park. And we venture to Kings Canyon, a 186-mile drive from Uluru-Kata Tjuta national park, where craggy, weathered sandstone towers into the sky.
Many of the landscapes I've seen while traversing Central Australia are well etched into my memory. But there is a lasting feeling beyond merely archived impressions.
From October next year, climbing Uluru will be banned – more than 20 years after Intrepid Group first began advising tourgoers against it, not just as a matter of safety, but out of respect to the Anangu people and their culture. There is a special aura about the place that cannot be duplicated.
And, like any other natural wonder, it is worthy of our protection. As a sign at Uluru's base advises, this is a place to connect with, not conquer.
Book it: Intrepid Travel's three-day Uluru Adventure Original tour starts from £480pp and includes local transport, accommodation, meals and activities. Intrepid can add international flights to Alice Springs for a total package price of £1,638pp.
Putting your clients on an escorted tour in these parts is an absolute no-brainer. Even the most well-organised independent traveller will struggle to put together a trip that can compete – financially or logistically – with what experienced tour operators can offer. Because of the area's isolation (Alice Springs is situated more than 930 miles south of the state capital Darwin, and a similar distance from South Australia's capital, Adelaide), services and amenities are in shorter supply, pushing up the price of petrol, car hire and accommodation. Logistics and finances aside, safety also comes into the equation. The long drives, potential for car breakdowns and extremes in temperature (up to 45°C in summer and down to -4°C in winter) can prove a dangerous cocktail.
While the distances may not seem great on a map, the town of Alice Springs – the main departure point for most escorted tours of Uluru – is still 290 miles away from the site (almost a six-hour drive). Such is the isolation that shortly after leaving Alice Springs there is little phone signal for the duration of our trip. Australia's Red Centre is the only place in the world where Intrepid offers two different trip styles simultaneously – the Basix is at a lower price point and has fewer inclusions (guests must bring their own sleeping bag, pillow and towel), while the Original trip has campsites comprising twin-share permanent tents equipped with proper beds, linen, pillows, towels and a fan. Both trips follow exactly the same itinerary.

Catastrophe risk modelling firm RMS has said that the Thomas Fire, which impacted Southern California's Ventura and Santa Barbara counties in December 2017, will result in a loss of between $1 billion and $2.5 billion.
The Thomas Fire destroyed 1,063 structures and damaged roughly 280 structures, quickly becoming the largest wildfire by acreage in California's modern history.
This is according to Kevin Van Leer, Senior Product Manager and wildfire expert at RMS, who has said that RMS estimates that losses from the Thomas Fire will be between $1 billion and $2.5 billion, and includes loss caused by burn or smoke damage to personal, commercial, and industrial lines of business, as well as insured loss from business interruption and additional living expenses.
However, "It excludes loss to automobile and agriculture lines of business and all damage related to the recent mudslides that impacted the same area," explains RMS.
Commenting on how California's wildfires led to mudslides and flooding recently, Van Leer explained; "Last week, severe rainstorms in California triggered massive flooding and mudslides. Combined with the huge damage caused by Southern California's wildfires, heavy rain created the perfect condition for massive mudslides to happen. RMS will continue to monitor the impact of these events and share updates accordingly."

Tala Esera OTTake the guy's analysis with a grain of salt though, as he say's this about Reagan Mauia.
"Pretty good drill work. I think he's got a real good shot at second day."
Nate Ilaoa RB
"I love watching this kid play. To me, Coach (June) Jones did a great job showcasing his strengths. I don't see him as a fullback, I see him as a true one-back guy. I think he has a 50-50 shot of getting drafted. Whoever takes him, they have a plan for him."
Leonard Peters S/LB
"He kind of talked about being injured, but was holding back on that to not make excuses. I think some team will love him on special teams. At safety, he gets a little bit out of position sometimes. Some teams are looking at him as a linebacker. Leonard is really good downhill when he sees the run. He gets exposed sometimes against the pass because he'll gamble."
Reagan Mauia FBA lot? I just remember two in the 2005 MSU game, early in his UH career when he was playing D-line, but after the coaches talked to him about it, he was on the straight and narrow. I hope this negative impression of The Juggernaut isn't common among the scouts. Anyway, Dave has a lot more info in his article, so go read it.
"Big man runs real well for his size. Teams that use a true fullback will be interested in him. His consistency as a blocker is a question, though. A lot of personal fouls in college.

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted

Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn't hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.

Marriage is the only war where you sleep with the enemy. -- Gary Busey
If you would have the nuptial union last,

If you appear at numerous websites, you will most likely notice that there are banner ads displayed on most pages. To recognize which sites should be brought up for which search terms, Google will apply an algorithm to its indexing of the web. To most small enterprise entrepreneurs, marketing and advertising or promoting their items or solutions by way of the Net can be a daunting task. Write-up Marketing and advertising is an exceptional, free of charge way to get publicity to your internet site or organization. I have to get my prescriptions by mail now and genuinely miss just speaking to the pharmacist when I pick up a prescription. Kontextua : Kontextua is a display, in-link and advertisements-in-image advertising network.
Whilst affiliate hyperlinks aren't technically ads, they allow you to make cash by advertising a person else's product. Viddler is yet another common site that focuses on company videos rather than user-generated content. If children had been not acquiring their merchandise, they would cease advertising to them. There are still a lot of Avon reps who get most of their buyers from going via their neighborhood and just speaking to men and women and going door-to-door. A neighborhood constructed playground built with adore by volunteers with money raised from grassroot fundraisers. Lastly, if you want to be productive, treat your directory internet site as a real company.
I've currently completed some of the things on your list but now you've offered me some more things to try. A single truly fundamental thing that men and women have a tendency to overlook is to set your signature on email, internet sites and forums to hyperlink to your shops. MLMs that involve the sale of enterprise possibilities or franchises, as defined by the Franchise Rule, need to comply with the Rule's needs about disclosing the quantity and percentage of current franchisees who have accomplished the claimed final results, as effectively as cautionary language. And ultimately, let's face it young children are the most open to advertising campaigns.
You earn points on POF primarily based on your use of the web site and other criteria, and those essentially can be utilised to send issues like images of alcoholic drinks, teddy bears, puppies and steaks. Advertising on craigslist is in my opinion is only going to develop bigger, the more folks uncover out about it. I had another appear round their website, this is one particular of the key UK Television service providers, and could discover no other way to watch the game. You will also be allowed to create a brief 'Blurb' about your company telling people what you have to provide.
For example, on the internet advertising delivered via e mail is a lot more regulated than the identical ad content delivered via banner ads. Thanks for these Totally free Advertising Suggestions, this will be wonderful for those who are involved in fundraising. Join and make money online with Payoneer partners which set low minimum payment threshold and are reputable among internet funds makers. This makes it particularly appealing for these web owners just searching to get into the cloud and move away from standard shared hosting techniques.

VICTIMS of sexual abuse by clergy are being discouraged from lodging police reports into deceased alleged offenders, Ballarat lawyer and former MP Dianne Hadden claimed yesterday.
Ms Hadden said victims taking part in a parliamentary inquiry had told her they were being "fobbed off" and told there was no point in reporting abuse by dead clergy as there was no chance of prosecution.
"They have been told by police it is too late to make a statement to police because the person who abused them is dead," she said.
"It is totally unsatisfactory when co-offenders may still be alive or the person who employed the alleged offender could be held accountable at law."
Detective Senior Sergeant Tim Argall of Ballarat Police Sexual Offence and Child Abuse Investigative Team denied victims were being given misinformation and encouraged them to report abuse to police.
He said criminal investigations would not be launched into dead offenders.
"It is up to the individual to decide and we would certainly encourage people to make reports if they have been a victim of this kind of abuse but people need to understand if the alleged perpetrator has died, there won't be a prosecution or full investigation," he said.
Detective Senior Sergeant Argall said a small number of new complaints had been lodged following the initiation of the parliamentary inquiry, due to report by April 30 next year.
He said calls for a new unit to investigate clergy sexual abuse was not required.
A former member of Victoria's Legislative Council, Ms Hadden is currently assisting a number of victims preparing submissions to the inquiry on a pro-bono basis.
She said the recent charging of a New South Wales priest over misprision of a felony – the failure to disclose a serious crime – relating to alleged child sex offences by another priest in the 1970s, showed that state's laws were more effective than Victoria.
Ms Hadden encouraged victims making submissions to carefully read a guide to the process published by the Victorian Parliament's Family and Community Development Committee and available online.
"People don't understand the three questions in the inquiry's terms of references. The submission guidelines are excellent and direct the mind and help those who feel it is too difficult to write extensively," she said.

Returns & Exchanges
We handle returns on a case-by-case basis with the ultimate objective of making our customers happy. We stand behind our goods and services and want customers to be satisfied with them. We'll always do our best to take care of customers—our philosophy is to deal with them fairly and reasonably. We have long believed that when we treat our customers fairly, they in turn are fair with us. We do apply returns to the tender it was purchased with. If we choose to provide a refund and no record of sale is available, we will ask for personal identification and a return will be provided at current price on a Nordstrom Gift Card.
About Returns & Exchanges
You can return item(s) by mail or in any Nordstrom store. We do not accept returns of Nordstrom or Nordstrom.com merchandise at Nordstrom Rack locations
If you have an account or an order number, you can start your return now. If you don't have an account or you're missing order information, you can print a blank return form and label. Send in your item(s) using the postage-paid U.S. return label. Your return will be processed within 10-14 business days.
Simply bring the item(s) you'd like to return to a Nordstrom store along with your receipt and original form of payment. Any salesperson can assist you with your return. Find a store. Please note that we do not accept returns of Nordstrom or Nordstrom.com merchandise at Nordstrom Rack locations.
For the best service and selection, please order your replacement items online or call 1.888.282.6060 for assistance.
Please call customer service at 1.888.282.6060 for assistance returning oversized items, perishable goods or other unusual merchandise.
All refunds will be credited to your original form of payment or a Nordstrom Gift Card. We offer gift receipts to customers when purchasing gifts. When returning a gift, you'll receive your refund only on a Nordstrom Gift Card. If we choose to provide a refund and no record of sale is available, we will ask for personal identification and a return will be provided at current price on a Nordstrom Gift Card. (Gift Cards cannot be redeemed for cash unless required by law.)
- Items Returned by Mail: If you ordered by credit card, we'll credit your account within 14 business days. This will show on your next statement, depending on the issuing bank and/or billing cycle. If you have requested an exchange, your account will be charged for the new item and credited for the return. If you paid with a Gift Card or Nordstrom Notes, we'll mail you a Nordstrom Gift Card. If a credit card was used in combination with a Gift Card or Nordstrom Notes, the entire merchandise amount will be refunded to your credit card. - Shipping Charges: Unfortunately, we cannot refund shipping charges.
Gift Cards can't be returned.
Please call 1.800.285.7344 for inquiries and assistance.
Please follow the instructions included in your shipment and fill out the return section of the packing slip when returning fine jewelry by mail. Return your package via the carrier of your choice, with return signature required. For your protection, you must insure the package for the value of the item enclosed. Fine jewelry can also be returned to Nordstrom stores that have a Fine Jewelry department. Simply bring the packing slip and/or credit card used when you placed the order.
International Nordstrom.com orders made with Borderfree have a different return process and do not qualify for free returns or merchandise exchanges. For a refund that includes duties, taxes and tariffs, please contact Nordstrom customer service and ask them to send you a Return Merchandise Authorization form on behalf of Borderfree. Then mail the completed form with your item(s) to Borderfree. If you choose to return an international order directly to Nordstrom, you will receive a refund for the merchandise from Borderfree but not duties, taxes or tariffs. Learn more about international returns.
In our continued effort to minimize waste and lessen our impact on the environment, please note that your order may arrive in a slightly used shipping box.
Please visit the Nordstrom Rack and HauteLook sites for information about their return policies.
Questions? Call 1.888.282.6060 or chat with us.
What about returns for purchases at Nordstrom.com?
Simply send your item back or bring it to a store near you and we'll do our best to take care of you.
Do I need a receipt from my purchase?
Your receipt or order number helps us locate your purchase the fastest. If you don't have a receipt, we should be able to find the purchase in other ways, but we may ask you for more information so we can better assist with your request. If no record of sale is available and we choose to provide a refund, your personal identification will be required to process the return and the return is provided at current price on a Nordstrom Gift Card.
Do you take everything back?
We'll do our best to take care of you, but from time to time we cannot accommodate a return.
Is there a time limit? What if the item is worn?
We will do our best to take care of customers and deal with them fairly; we ask that our customers treat us fairly as well. From time to time we may not accept a return. There are no time limits for returns or exchanges.
Why do special-occasion dresses and some designer items have tags that say if the tag is removed the garment cannot be returned?
Customers have told us that they want to ensure the special-occasion dresses and designer items they're purchasing have not been worn prior to their purchase. Over the years, we have also found that we received a disproportionate number of returns of what appeared to be worn special-occasion dresses and designer items. To help in both instances, we implemented a tag or card to help ensure these items are returned in original condition with tags still attached.
Are there restocking fees?
Why does Nordstrom request my personal identification for a return without a record of sale?
Because of our liberal return philosophy, we have this internal auditing procedure to give us the ability to monitor and investigate refunds and returns without a record of sale.
Can I put an item on hold?
Merchandise holds will no longer be offered to individual customers. However, we will continue to offer holds for events and special services—like Reserve Online & Try in Store, available on our app.
Do you take checks?
Checks will no longer be accepted as payment for merchandise. However, checks will continue to be accepted for payment on accounts.
How do you process my return if I paid with PayPal?
If your purchase was made with a PayPal account, your refund will be made to the credit or debit card associated with the PayPal account or a Nordstrom Gift Card can be issued. If the original form of payment was a PayPal line of credit, the refund will be issued to a Nordstrom Gift Card.
