Easy Skirts
I became friends with Paco Peralta via Facebook and really liked these beautiful, simple skirts he has created. Since skirts are great projects for Spring/Summer, I invited him to write a guest blog to demonstrate his technique and to inspire the Power Sewing community to sew these skirts for themselves. Thank you, Paco! ~Sandra
Greetings from Barcelona, Spain! I salute all the visitors and followers of this website and thank Sandra for this opportunity and for introducing me to this community of sewing enthusiasts and sewing professionals.
I believe that making your own clothes is much more than a beautiful hobby. It is the perfect means to obtain a wardrobe with our own touch of personality. It is playing with our inspiration to obtain garments that reflect our personal style. Through all this, we achieve an enjoyable sensation, satisfaction and great self-assurance.
There are times when certain elements often create obstacles that may cause us to lose our stamina or to give up on a project. Because of this, I have found that once in a while, it is good to make garments that don't take many materials, fabric and time.
While recently organizing my fabric stash, I found several fabric pieces of vintage linen and cotton that have been in my stash for years. These fabrics, ideal for spring and summer, provided me with the inspiration to make a series of "easy" skirts (easy in concept, easy in making and easy in wearing). These "easy" skirts are a perfect project for all levels of sewers. The beginner will find it rewarding and successful, while the experienced dressmaker will find an "oasis" between more challenging projects.
We'll need three fabric rectangles, each measuring 16 inches by 55 or 60 inch wide (approximately); one of these rectangles will become the hip section.
Note: The skirts do not have any closure or separate waistband, a simple fold over elastic casing and elastic tape will provide the necessary waist adjustment.
|First we stitch the only seam on the hip section (which will be the center back seam), leaving a 1 1/4 inch opening to be able to slide in the elastic later (See picture 1. Click on image to enlarge).
|Fold the upper edge (approximately 1 3/4 inch), fold under 3/8 inch evenly, press and stitch a seam close to the folded under edge, thus obtaining the casing (See Picture 2. Click on image to enlarge).
|Join and stitch the remaining fabric rectangles at sides, obtaining the bottom section of the skirt; ease the top edge of the bottom section by shirring it to the hip section measure, on which we have previously marked the "center front" and sides to be able to mach both sections accordingly. Stitch both sections together (See Pictures 3 and 4. Click on each image to enlarge).
|To be used with instructions above. (Click on image to enlarge)
|Make a narrow hem on the bottom of the skirt (See Picture 5. Click on image to enlarge).
|Slide in the elastic tape (approximately 1 1/8 inch wide), adjusting it to the waist measure and close the opening stitching it by hand (See Pictures 6 and 7. Click on each image to enlarge).
|To be used with instructions above. (Click on image to enlarge)
Voila! You have created your very own "easy skirt"!

©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.2Database System Concepts Basic Concepts Data are represented by collections of records. similar to an entity in the E-R model Records and their fields are represented as record type typecustomer = recordtypeaccount = record customer-name: string;account-number: integer; customer-street: string;balance: integer; customer-city: string;end Relationships among data are represented by links similar to a restricted (binary) form of an E-R relationship restrictions on links depend on whether the relationship is many- many, many-to-one, or one-to-one.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.3Database System Concepts Data-Structure Diagrams Schema representing the design of a network database. A data-structure diagram consists of two basic components: Boxes, which correspond to record types. Lines, which correspond to links. Specifies the overall logical structure of the database.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.4Database System Concepts Data-Structure Diagrams (Cont.) For every E-R diagram, there is a corresponding data-structure diagram.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.5Database System Concepts Data-Structure Diagrams (Cont.) Since a link cannot contain any data value, represent an E-R relationship with attributes with a new record type and links.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.6Database System Concepts General Relationships To represent an E-R relationship of degree 3 or higher, connect the participating record types through a new record type that is linked directly to each of the original record types. 1.Replace entity sets account, customer, and branch with record types account, customer, and branch, respectively. 2.Create a new record type Rlink (referred to as a dummy record type). 3.Create the following many-to-one links: CustRlink from Rlink record type to customer record type AcctRlnk from Rlink record type to account record type BrncRlnk from Rlink record type to branch record type
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.7Database System Concepts Network Representation of Ternary Relationship
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.8Database System Concepts The DBTG CODASYL Model All links are treated as many-to-one relationships. To model many-to-many relationships, a record type is defined to represent the relationship and two links are used.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.9Database System Concepts DBTG Sets The structure consisting of two record types that are linked together is referred to in the DBTG model as a DBTG set In each DBTG set, one record type is designated as the owner, and the other is designated as the member, of the set. Each DBTG set can have any number of set occurrences (actual instances of linked records). Since many-to-many links are disallowed, each set occurrence has precisely one owner, and has zero or more member records. No member record of a set can participate in more than one occurrence of the set at any point. A member record can participate simultaneously in several set occurrences of different DBTG sets.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.10Database System Concepts Repeating Groups Provide a mechanism for a field to have a set of values rather than a single value. Alternative representation of weak entities from the E-R model Example: Two sets. customer (customer-name) customer-address (customer-street, customer-city) The following diagrams represent these sets without the repeating-group construct.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.11Database System Concepts Repeating Groups (Cont.) With the repeating-group construct, the data-structure diagram consists of the single record type customer.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.12Database System Concepts DBTG Data-Retrieval Facility The DBTG data manipulation language consists of a number of commands that are embedded in a host language. Run unit — system application program consisting of a sequence of host language and DBTG command statements. Statements access and manipulate database items as well as locally declared variables. Program work-area (or user work area) — a buffer storage area the system maintains for each application program
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.13Database System Concepts DBTG Variables Record Templates Currency pointers Current of record type Current of set type Current of run unit Status flags DB-status is most frequently used Additional variables: DB-set-name, DB-record-name, and DB-data-name
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.14Database System Concepts Example Schema
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.15Database System Concepts Example Program Work Area Templates for three record types: customer, account, and branch. Six currency pointers Three pointers for record types: one each tot he most recently accessed customer, account, and branch record Two pointers for set types: one to the most recently accessed record in an occurrence of the set depositor, one to the most recently accessed record in an occurrence of the set account- branch One run-unit pointer. Status flags: four variables defined previously Following diagram shows an example program work area state.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.16Database System Concepts
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.17Database System Concepts The Find and Get Commands find locates a record in the database and sets the appropriate currency pointers get copies of the record to which the current of run-unit points from the database to the appropriate program work area template Example: Executing a find command to locate the customer record belonging to Johnson causes the following changes to occur in the state of the program work area. The current of the record type customer now points to the record of Johnson. The current of set type depositor now points to the set owned by Johnson The current of run unit now points to customer record Johnson.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.18Database System Concepts Access of Individual Records find any using Locates a record of type whose value is the same as the value of in the template in the program work area. Once such a record is found, the following currency pointers are set to point to that record: The current of run-unit pointer The record-type currency pointer for For each set in which that record belongs, the appropriate set currency pointer find duplicate using Locates (according to a system-dependent ordering) the next record that matches the
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.19Database System Concepts Access of Records Within a Set Other find commands locate records in the DBTG set that is pointed to by the currency pointer. find first within Locates the first database record of type belonging to the current. To locate the other members of a set,k we use find next within which finds the next element in the set. find owner within Locates the owner of a particular DBTG set
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.20Database System ConceptsPredicates For queries in which a field value must be matched with a specified range of values, rather than to only one, we need to: get the appropriate records into memory examine each one separately for a match determine whether each is the; target of our find statement
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.21Database System Concepts Example DBTG Query Print the total number of accounts in the Perryridge branch with a balance greater than $10,000. count := 0; branch.branch-name := "Perryridge"; find any branch using branch-name; find first account within account-branch; while DB-status = 0 do begin get account if account.balance > 10000 then count := count + 1; find next account within account-branch; end print (count);
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.22Database System Concepts DBTG Update Facility DBTG mechanisms are available to update information in the database. To create a new record of type insert the appropriate values in the corresponding template add this new record to the database by executing store Can create and add new records only one at a time
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.23Database System Concepts DBTG Update Facility (Cont.) To modify an existing record of type find that record in the database get that record into memory change the desired fields in the template of reflect the changes to the record to which the currency point of points by executing modify
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.24Database System Concepts DBTG Update Facility (Cont.) To delete an existing record of type make the currency pointer of that type point to the record in the database to be deleted delete that record by executing erase Delete an entire set occurrence by finding the owner of the set and executing erase all Deletes the owner of the set, as well as all the set's members. If a member of the set is an owner of another set, the members of that second set also will be deleted. erase all is recursive.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.25Database System Concepts DBTG Set-Processing Facility Mechanisms are provided for inserting records into and removing records from a particular set occurrence Insert a new record into a set by executing the connect statement. connect to Remove a record from a set by executing the disconnect statement. disconnect from
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.26Database System Concepts Example disconnect Query Close account A-201, that is, delete the relationship between account A-201 and its customer, but archive the record of account A-201. The following program removes account A-201 from the set occurrence of type depositor. The account will still be accessible in the database for record- keeping purposes. account.account-number := "A-201"; find for update any account using account-number. get account, find owner within depositor, disconnect account from depositor.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.27Database System Concepts DBTG Set-Processing Facility (Cont.) To move a record of type from one set occurrence to another set occurrence of type Find the appropriate record and the owner of the set occurrences to which that record is to be moved. Move the record by executing reconnect to Example: Move all accounts of Hayes that are currently at the Perryridge branch to the Downtown branch.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.28Database System Concepts Example Query Example reconnect Query customer.customer-name := "Hayes"; find any customer using customer-name; find first account within depositor; while DB-status = 0 do begin find owner within account-branch; get branch; if branch.branch-name = "Perryridge" then begin branch.branch-name := "Downtown"; find any branch using branch-name; reconnect account to account-branch; end find next account within depositor, end
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.29Database System Concepts DBTG Set-Processing Facility (Cont.) A newly created member record of type of a set type can be added to a set occurrence either explicitly (manually) or implicitly (automatically). Specify the insert mode at set-definition time via insertion is manual:connect to automatic:store
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.30Database System Concepts Set Insertion Example Create account A535 for customer Hayes at the Downtown branch. Set insertion is manual for set type depositor and is automatic for set type account-branch. branch.branch-name := "Downtown"; find any branch using branch-name; account.account-number := "A-535"; account.balance := 0; store account; customer.customer-name := "Hayes"; find any customer using customer-name; connect account to depositor;
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.31Database System Concepts DBTG Set-Processing Facility (Cont.) Restrictions on how and when a member record can be removed from a set occurrence are specified at set-definition time via retention is can take one of the three forms: 1.fixed — a member record cannot be removed. To reconnect a record to another set, we must erase that record, recreate it, and then insert it into the new set occurrence. 2.mandatory — a member record of a particular set occurrence can be reconnected to another set occurrence of only type. 3.optional — no restrictions on how and when a member record can be removed from a set occurrence.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.32Database System Concepts DBTG Set-Processing Facility (Cont.) The best way to delete a record that is the owner of set occurrence of type depends on the specification of the set retention of. optional — the record will be deleted and every member of the set that it owns will be disconnected. These records, however, will be in the database. fixed — the record and all its owned members will be deleted; a member record cannot be removed from the set occurrence without being deleted. mandatory — the record cannot be erased, because the mandatory status indicates that a member record must belong to a set occurrence. The record cannot be disconnected from that set.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.33Database System Concepts Set Ordering order is first. A new record is inserted in the first position; the set is in reverse chronological ordering. last. A new record is inserted in the final position; the set is in chronological ordering. next. Suppose that the currency pointer or points to record X. If X is a member type, a new record is inserted in the next position following X. If X is an owner type, a new record is inserted in the first position. Set ordering is specified by a programmer when the set is defined:
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.34Database System Concepts Set Ordering (Cont.) prior. If X is a member type, a new record is inserted in the position just prior to X. If X is an owner type, a new record is inserted in the last position. system default. A new record is inserted in an arbitrary position determined by the system. sorted. A new record is inserted in a position that ensures that the set will remain sorted. The sorting order is specified by a particular key value when a programmer defines the set. Example: Consider the set occurrence of type depositor with the owner-record customer Turner and member-record accounts A-305, A-402, and A-408 ordered as indicated in our example schema (page A.14).
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.35Database System Concepts Set Ordering Example Add a new account A-125. For each option, the new set ordering is as follows: first: {A-125,A-305,A-402,A-408} last: {A-305,A-402,A-408,A-125} next: Suppose that the currency pointer points to record "Turner"; then the new set order is {A-125,A-305,A-402,A-408} prior: Suppose that the currency pointer points to record A-402; then the new set order is {A-305,A-125,A-402,A-408} system default: Any arbitrary order is acceptable; thus, {A-305,A-402,A-125,A-408} is a valid set ordering sorted: The set must be ordered in ascending order with account number being the key; thus, the ordering must be {A-125,A-305,A-402,A-408}
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.36Database System Concepts Mapping of Networks to Files We implement links by adding pointer fields to records that are associated via a link Each record must have one pointer field for each link with which it is associated. Example data-structure diagram and corresponding database. Figure missing
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.37Database System Concepts Mapping of Networks to Files (Cont.) Diagram showing the sample instance with pointer fields to represent the links. Each link is replaced by two pointers.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.38Database System Concepts Mapping of Networks to Files (Cont.) Since the depositor link is many to many, each record can be associated with an arbitrary number of records (e.g., the account record would have a pointer to the customer record for each customer who has that account). Direct implementation of many-to-many relationships requires the use of variable length records. The DBTG model restricts links to be either one to one or one to many; the number of pointers needed is reduced, and it is possible to retain fixed-length records.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.39Database System Concepts Mapping of Networks to Files (Cont.) Assume that the depositor link is one to many and is represented by the DBTG set depositor and this corresponding sample database. set name is depositor owner is customer member is account
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.40Database System Concepts Mapping of Networks to Files (Cont.) Because an account record can be associated with only one customer record, we need only one pointer in the account record to represent the depositor relationship. A customer record can be associated with many account records. Rather ant using multiple pointers in the customer record, we can use a ring structure to represent the entire occurrence of the DBTG set depositor. In a ring structure, the records of both the owner an member types for a set occurrence are organized into a circular list. There is one circular list for each set occurrence (that is, for each record of the owner type).
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.41Database System Concepts Example Ring Structure
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.42Database System Concepts Modified Ring Structures Execute find owner via a ring structure in which every member- type record contains a second pointer which points to the owner record.
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.43Database System Concepts Physical Placement of Records To specify the storage strategy for DBTG set, add a placement clause to the definition of the member record type. The clause placement clustered via depositor will store members of each set occurrence close to one another physically on disk, if possible, in the same block. Store owner and member records close to one another physically on disk by adding the clause near owner. placement clustered via depositor near owner
©Silberschatz, Korth and SudarshanA.44Database System Concepts Physical Placement of Records (Cont.) Storing member records in the same block as the owner reduces the number of block accesses required to read an entire set occurrence.

An Apple A Wedding Day
November 19th, 2009
On second thought, he decided to keep the ring.

On second thought, he decided to keep the ring.
(submitted by John)
Even after the Armenian explanation, this is still the wierdest dang wedding photo I ever saw. Maybe if he looked less creepy and ( I agree velcrodots) Gollumish. She wants the precious, she does….
Please get this in one of you books, it's awesomse, awkward never got so photoshopped.
Shouldn't gloves cover your hands? Isn't that the point?
Hmm I don't quite understand this one. Is this a snowwhite reference?
What a freakin' weird photo. Just plain BIZARRE!
What bothers me most is that she's holding it sideways. :/
That's what bothers you most? Really?
Ok Adrian Monk!
That *is* very odd. I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out. To me, that makes it seem like she's about to take a bite out of it. LOL
This was photoshopped. She actually was holding an AK-47, and he was holding a compound bow. And the were both wearing camouflage.
My favorite comment!
I only support same-size marriage.
Well played.
muchas gracias!
*clap clap clap*
Well played indeed!
Maybe regulation size marriage.
She looks like one of the Desperate Housewives—they all hold an apple in the pic that appears right before each episode starts.
oh this is a keeper, I have so many favorites now…
Another possible caption: "Seems like a fair trade…"
Other than the intriguing (colorized) apple, the awkwardness comes from the weird scale and the fact that they're not even looking in each other's direction (I realize it's two different pictures, but why not stage it so they're at least pointing towards each other?). Feels like they're completely detached.
Hi, I'm a Mac. And I'm a PC
While all of the comments today have made me giggle, this one made me nearly fall off the couch.
This photo was taken in Poland. I live in here but I don't get the idea behind this photo.
Red aplle reminds me of three possibilities: Adam&Eve, Snow White and Twilight.
I've seen many wedding photos with strange props – all of them were photographer's idea. Lately I've seen photo where bride was put into bread stove made of rocks. It looked realy creepy.
Thanks for your input! Good to have a Polish perspective.
Maybe the couple are into mythology and aware of the apple symbolism there. Otherwise, I have no clue. Very odd photo.
An apple is a female womb symbol. Because it's red and contains seeds.
That was just too gross to post Bonnie!
I thought it was the man who had the seeds. The woman has eggs.
In ancient Greece, throwing an apple to a woman was considered a marriage proposal.
it is a mix from twilight (the book cover) and lord of the rings…
He's on token-ring, and she's on AppleTalk. Network technology lags a bit in their country.
That has to win for most geeky reference of all time, but I LOVE it!
Yes.. and the token ring is MUCH bigger that AppleTalk there.
Apples are a symbol of love (She's/He's the apple of my eye is one example of this in modern day terms) but I'm not sure what the specific symbolism or tradition is in this awkward photo!
I found this on Google:
In early Greek history, the apple figured in courtship as well as the rites and customs of marriage. For example, a happy couple in the seventh century B.C. might share an Apple as a symbol of their marriage and hopes for a fruitful union.
~ In China the Apple stands for peace and its blossom for adoration.
~ Gypsy tradition had a young woman eat half an apple before midnight and the other half after, if she wanted her true love to appear in a dream.
~ At her wedding to Zeus, Gaia supplied Apples to Hera, signifying long love and union.
~ Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, offered Apples to woo Aphrodite and win her love.
and another bit that I can't copy and paste, (but you can find if you google apple symbolism & Eugene Stock McCartney) about apples being offered as professions of love & something about a tradition of throwing apples @ grooms, so maybe she's about to do a wind-up & hurl it @ him!
Giant husband.
I hail from Washington state where we grows these things and this photo is still lost on me!
What happened was, he hid the engagement ring in the apple. She nearly choked, and broke a molar, but apples will forever evoke happy memories for this couple.
Finally, her dream of marrying a teacher was about to become reality …
Ok, now THAT comment made me bust a gut!
'he kept the ring, it had become 'precious' to him…'
It's so nice to see the Twilight cast all grown and married
I definitely thought of Twilight too when I saw this!
Not only is this now my favorite AFP photo, but never before has every single comment made me laugh…WOW I needed that!
Which comment? Was it Rochelle's "cherry" comment? Man, that one made Pepsi come out my nose!
The apple has significance in Armenian weddings (perhaps others, too), apparently:
The red apple symbolizes the bride's virginity (the double standard reigns in full force in Armenia: girls are supposed to be virgins at their wedding, while guys can fool around before -and after- the wedding). It is offered to the bride at her place on the day of the wedding. The next day, if the sheet of the nuptual bed shows drops of blood (which is apparently shown in public), the red apple is given to the bride's family by the groom's side as a token of "appreciation" that they gave away a good girl who was still a virgin.
ohhhh…..this explains the origins of the phrase "let them eat cake".
not really
It's a joke Jennifer… no apple to offer…wedding cake will have to do.
i know it's a joke- i meant the comment didn't make any sense
Really??!!! I had no idea. hmmmm…. but why put all that in a picture??
You made that up, right?
"I commit to wear this ring, you shall commit to making me apple pie."
Dried apple rings. All marriages end up as dried apple rings.
Hysterical. Definitely in my top 5 favorite AFPs. Both Easter Bunny photos also making that list.
This is such a stiff photo. The groom, the bride and the apple look completely stiff and unnatural. It is interesting that the apple is colour, while the rest of black and white.. so it must mean something…
It means that the photographer has learned spot coloring.
How should apples look? Relaxed and flexible?
She actually looks like she is about to try to pick up a 7-10 split with that apple.
Hilarious! Yes!
For the win!!! Hahalol
Disturbing. Maybe this is a Polish cultural reference that I don't get, but disturbing nonetheless.
That guy should have gotten his best man to tie his tie. What the heck kind of knot is that it looks kinda like an elephant.
OMG, didn't even notice the tie! What is that?
I almost spit coffee on my monitor.
Best comment.
There HAS to be a story here. I mean a story other than that the photographer has no sense of scale.
Or taste.
or maybe he likes the taste of apples…
Very odd, I am hoping there is SOME sort of cultural meaning that just got lost in translation. If not, wow…
Back in the day before wedding themes like gothic, red neck,… we had to be subtle in our rebellion of wedding custom and tradition. This gal has a unique engagement ring and necklace, cutting edge gloves and groom's tie. But offering a colorized apple to a giant fiance'… that's just insurrection!!!!
I can't stop laughing!!!
The way he's looking at the ring, I get a crazy Gollum "my precious" vibe!
I was thinking it was a Twilight reference. Though shouldn't the apple be deep red, and shouldn't the guy be holding it?
Is that a Honeycrisp or Gala apple?
I think it's a Fuji, although it might be a Pink Lady ROFL (ok, so why do I know about apples?)
That is wierd.
This same trick was done by Eve to Adam.
I hope this guy didn't bite!
And what's the deal with that glove wrapped around her middle finger?
Is there a message there, or is that her equivalent ring to him?
That is how those gloves stay on. It's a very common style.
Kind of funny if that was to scale. Did she fall in a deep sleep afterwards?
Shouldn't she be holding a cherry instead?
HILARIOUS! A bit naughty….but hilarious!!!!
Oh my. I was thinking of Adam and Eve, but I really prefer the cherry comment.
thats EXACTLY what I was thinking. She's symbolizing ripened fruit and offering it up to her husband to be… its kind of creepy.
hey, they didnt publish my naughty commment about the 2 cats and the naked people holding them…
I guess they have boundries 😉
I gave her a ring and Eve gave me an apple… I suddenly feel funny….
An "apple a day"…..keeps the groom away for life!
"I give you this ring as a sign of my love and affection and endless circle of love".
"I give you this apple-because the photographer gave it to me to hold….."
ha! i almost just spewed coffee all my workstation..
One apple makes you larger and one apple makes you small…I see you found the small one.
Ahh…it is all so clear now!
That is the funniest comment I've ever read.
All I can say is…..WT*???!!!!!
What's puzzling me is the fact that the apple is in color. I'm sure there's a story behind it but without that it just reminds me of snow white and a poisoned apple… awkward nonetheless!
I'd love to know the story also! Hopefully John can enlighten us a bit. I was still checking "The Handlemans" every day to get the back story, but that post has now been removed for some reason, so it looks like I'll never get satisfaction on that front. 🙁
LOL. I think this is my favourite AFP yet.
Maybe the apple signifies their love.

Introduction to Bedroom Furniture
Choosing your master bedroom furniture should be a personal experience, and an opportunity to choose pieces that showcase your personal style. Luxury bedroom furniture can turn your space into an oasis of serenity and a personal retreat from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. Nothing brings a more cohesive look to your bedroom then bedroom furniture sets.

Different Styles and Types of Bedroom Furniture
Bedroom vanities, beds, and all the pieces included in modern bedroom sets, come in a variety of finishes and styles. From stark white bedroom furniture to sleek black bedroom furniture, there are several finish options to choose from. You want to determine what appeals aesthetically and functionally.

Most sets come with coordinating nightstands, dressers, bed frames, and bedroom vanity pieces, however each set is unique and offers a different range of pieces.
Decorating With Bedroom Furniture
Whether or not you utilize a corresponding set of nightstands or a complementary pair, they should balance each other well and be of similar height and size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dolly?
Dolly is a marketplace that allows background-checked Helpers with pickup trucks, vans, and large SUVs to connect with people who need help with micro-moves in the city.
How much does Dolly cost?
We provide a price that's determined by distance, item count, and specific details about your item(s), with the choice of Curbside delivery for a discounted price. The minimum price is $30.
What is Curbside?
Your Helper picks up the item at the curb, and drops it off at the curb. You are responsible for getting it inside. Curbside is quick and easy—perfect for items that aren't difficult to carry.
How do I pay and tip my Helper?
All payment and tipping is done through Dolly—no cash! When you book your Dolly, a hold is placed on your credit card for the full amount of the Dolly. Once your Dolly is completed, we charge the card for the total amount. In the event that you cancel your Dolly with more than 24 hours notice, your hold is released. Your Helper receives 100% of the tip amount if you choose to tip.
Is there a cancellation fee?
Yes. There is a 20% cancellation fee (of the Dolly price) when you cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled time. We encourage you to reschedule in the event of a scheduling conflict. We will not charge a cancellation fee if the Dolly is rescheduled and completed successfully.
How do I communicate with my Helper?
You and your Helper will be able to message in the iPhone or Android app about details and logistics.
Will a Dolly Helper pack boxes or disassemble/assemble my furniture?
Dolly Helpers will help carry and transport any items that easily fit into a pickup truck, van, or large SUV; however, they are not required to pack boxes or disassemble/assemble furniture. Dolly Helpers will come equipped with straps and blankets, but if there is any item you are concerned about protecting, it's best to wrap it up beforehand.
How should I list moving my bed?
We get this one a lot! If you enter "Bed (Your Size of Bed)" it includes a mattress, box spring, and bed frame. Feel free to add each of the parts of your bed individually as well, it's up to you! If you have more questions about how to enter your items please feel free to contact our Support Team.
What if my item needs to be returned to the pickup location?
In the event your item can't be delivered, the fee is the same as the Dolly price minus Dolly's commission—so your Helper still gets paid!
What happens if my item doesn't fit through the doorway of my home?
In the event your item can't be delivered because it doesn't fit through the door, we can leave the item outside your home or return it to the pickup location for a fee that is the same as the Dolly price minus Dolly's commission.
How do you keep Dolly Customers safe?
All of our Helpers are thoroughly background and DMV checked before being accepted into the app. Additionally, each Helper is reviewed after every Dolly.
Does Dolly offer insurance?
Yes, your stuff is covered! Dolly currently offers a multi-million dollar insurance policy.
How do I become a Helper?
Dolly Helpers are background and DMV checked, trained, and regularly reviewed. If you own a late-model truck, van, or large SUV please fill out the form here.

Half of what makes a camera good is the camera. The other half of what makes a camera good is you.
No matter how great the camera, you will like it more, and it will be more valuable to you—and a better value, too!—if you get to grips with it. Buying the right camera is only half the battle; just as important is committing to it and using it a lot. The more you use it, the better it will be.
In that sense, the Sony A900 in my camera cabinet ended up being one of the worst cameras I ever bought. I had to have one at the time; it channeled the Contax RTSIII I also always wanted, and it was, when it came out, the biggest, mostest, bestest, meanest, and baddest.
Trouble was, I never used it much.
I keep it now as a sorrowful monument to a vanished $2,300 I foolishly turned from real cash into a memory. And it's not like that didn't matter—I've never had $2,300 to burn.
But it was my own fault, really.
Right around now is the tenth anniversary of the A900's first announcement. Can you believe that? It was a while before it shipped, and it wasn't discontinued until 2011, but we first heard of it early in March of 2007. The years they do get behind us, don't they, my brother, my sister?
Micro 4/3 has now caught up
Having used both quite recently, it's my judgement and opinion that the newest 20-MP chip in the latest top-o'-the-line Micro 4/3 cameras more or less equals the image quality of the Sony A900's full-frame, 24-MP sensor that was SOTA back in '07.
(As I wrote that, it occurred to me to check the DxOMark Sensor ratings...sure enough, they give the sensor in the A900 an overall score of 79 and the sensor in the new Olympus E-M1 Mark II an overall score of 80, nicely corroborating my purely subjective impression.)
There are differences, yes. The older camera still has slightly better resolution and enlargeability at base ISOs. But the newer, smaller sensor has better shadow noise and DR. (I'd take the sensor in the Olympus if I had to choose.)
Granted, development is unlikely to continue at the same pace for the next ten years as it did for the previous ten; growth in the industry is slowing. But small sensors are getting very good, and will surely get even better.
The popular push these days among hobbyists might be toward full-frame and medium-format sensors. But how smart is that? Go to Flickr and type "Olympus E-M1 Mark II" or "Panasonic GX8" into the search field and look at some of the pictures that come up. Look good to you? Great sensors are going to be getting smaller, not larger, in the long run.
It's not as much fun, I grant you, but the smart money might be to go against what's currently hot and settle on Micro 4/3 or APS-C, or even 1". All of those are good enough now, and they'll only be getting better in the future.
Back to the point...
In any event, if you do drop the bucks for the Hasselblad X1D-50c or the Fuji GFX-50s, the gleaming new medium-format mirrorless marvels, be very careful. Remember that the camera itself is only half of what makes a camera good. How dedicated you are, how hard you work, and how many good and great pictures you get out of it are the other half. How much you use it is just as important as whatever it is.
So go for it, my brother, my sister, if you really want to, and if you can. But be sure you go whole hog and really commit, too. Use that medium-format mirrorless marvel a lot, and it will be a good value. Get to grips with it, make it yours, take it everywhere, and you'll never regret the expense.
Otherwise...well, take it from me. You won't want that thing sitting there staring at you from the shelf ten years from now!

Featured Comments from:
James Moule: "I have to agree. The sharpness that I am getting with my Olympus E-M1 Mark II and a high quality lens (such as an Olympus PRO or Panasonic Lumix/Leica) is simply stunning. A total surprise. And I usually shoot with a Sony Alpha 7RII and a Zeiss prime. As a point of reference, I always shoot raw, process in Adobe Camera Raw, and never sharpen (unless I am making a print)."
Moose (partial comment): "Re 'It's not as much fun, I grant you,' ohhh, but it IS more fun, really. The last several years since the E-M5 came out and I switched to Micro 4/3 have been the most fun in my photographic life—and the most productive of work I really like."
Hugh Crawford: "Re 'Micro 4/3 has now caught up Having used both quite recently, it's my judgement and opinion that the newest 20-MP chip in the latest top-o'-the-line Micro 4/3 cameras more or less equals the image quality of the Sony A900's full-frame, 24-MP sensor that was SOTA back in '07.' Not to nitpick, but isn't that sort of the same thing as 'Micro 4/3 is 10 years behind in quality'? I know what you mean, but I'm not so sure about what that bold headline means."
Mike replies: Well, it speaks to another post I wrote, in 2009, "The Point of Sufficiency." That is, we won't have to keep chasing larger and larger sensors, because as time goes by, increasingly smaller sensors are going to be sufficient and more. Time is on the side of smaller sensors, not larger ones.

Bible reading based on Psalm 137-138 (NIV84)
See series: Through My Bible
1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
2 There on the poplars
we hung our harps,
3 for there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
4 How can we sing the songs of the LORD
while in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill .
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.
7 Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did
on the day Jerusalem fell.
"Tear it down," they cried,
"tear it down to its foundations!"
8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is he who repays you
for what you have done to us-
9 he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
before the "gods" I will sing your praise.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple
and will praise your name
for your love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.
3 When I called, you answered me;
you made me bold and stouthearted.
4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD,
when they hear the words of your mouth.
5 May they sing of the ways of the LORD,
for the glory of the LORD is great.
6 Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly,
but the proud he knows from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes,
with your right hand you save me.
8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O LORD, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.
