The Wednesday Slice
Before The Slice Blog debuted a year ago, I had a concern.
Well, two actually. One was pretty basic: What if nobody reads it?
I addressed that by deciding to have fun and not fret about it too much. Still had my day job, after all.
But there was another worry: What if I use contributions from my regular readers and then anonymous commenters pounce on those individuals in an insanely hostile manner?
In the print world, I can more or less shield my correspondents from abuse. That would not be the case on the blog -- at least not to the same extent.
I had this vision of trotting out some proud grandmother's tale about something her grandchild said and then looking on as unhinged commenters flamed her.
Now the print Slice column has appeared on this site for years. My sense is that it doesn't get much attention online. But SR web readers have always been free to bash it at will. As it happens, those few online readers who have bothered to take shots mostly aimed at me. Which, of course, is fine. Affirming, even.
Still, I feared individual blog posts based on a Slice reader's contribution would alter the equation. I was afraid such posts would be a tempting target, even if they were decidedly not about politics, race or law enforcement..
In the end, this didn't materialize as an issue. For one thing, a seemingly high percentage of those submitting observations, stories and Slice answers to me have no real interest in showing up on the blog. Sad but true. For most, my using their offering on the blog is the same as not having used it at all.
People have been nice about this, but the message has been clear. So I wound up using not nearly as much newspaper reader-submitted material as I had anticipated.
Another factor is the simple reality that, though it has some readers, this blog doesn't attract many comments. I have mixed feelings about that. More comments would be nice, certainly. But I'm pleased to note that virtually all of my regular providers of visible feedback are good-natured.
Thanks to them and all others who have spent time with The Slice Blog.
One of my posts on the blog's opening day last year was a circular Q and A. I'll conclude this edition of The Wednesday Slice with a follow-up.
Q: Doesn't sound like there's much synergy between the print column and the blog. Why even bother with the blog?
A: Well, I enjoy producing it. And I always hope to connect with readers I might not reach otherwise. Have no idea if its existence has ever once helped sell an online ad.
Q: Isn't your approach a lot like the way you write your print column, and isn't that considered a classic recipe for failure online?
A: You have a point.
Q: Given the trends for newspapers, I can see why you might want to do something that's not print. But why be so half-assed? Why not jump into social media with both feet?
A: Another good point.
Q: What have you learned?
A: The SR's Dave Oliveria told me that, given the 24/7 potential of blogging and the fact that you can instantly publish from home, it would be a challenge to maintain boundaries between work and non-work. He was right.
Q: Have you considered that The Slice Blog might be inane, irrelevant and boring?
A: Sure. But it seems like there isn't one monolithic audience for any online content except maybe porn and pictures of cats. People pick and choose. Some in Spokane and elsewhere might be interested in the same things that interest me. Well, some of the time.
Q: Of all the journalists and quasi-journalists working in the United States today, might you be the most ridiculously self-impressed when it comes to your own work milestones?
A: It's quite possible.
Q: Are you going to do some things differently during the blog's second year?
A: Yes.
Q: Like what?
A: You'll have to come back to find out.

$ 0.85 / Each Plant
ASSORTED Succulent CUTTINGS from a variety of our stock succulent. plants. Generally 1-5 inches in length and comprised of approx 1/4 Rosette Shapes, 3/4 Assorted. If you are looking for lots of colors, we recommend looking at our rosette only listings. Non rosette succulents tend to have far more green hues vs the colorful pastels of rosette shapes.
** Succulent cuttings have been cut from their mother/main plant so therefore no longer have any way to take in water. They will slowly decline in appearance until they are rooted at which time they will begin perking up quickly. ** If you are using any cuttings for events, please let us know in a note during checkout as then we will ship accordingly.**
Our point being, succulent cuttings will often look worse before looking better, allow rooting to insure this!
The pictures are a representation of assorted succulents that originated mainly from cuttings. These are healthy CUTTINGS from our Licensed Nursery. Your lot may vary from the picture, but you will receive a variety of shapes, textures and sizes. Cuttings could include Crassulas, haworthias, Aloes, Kalanchoes, Aeoniums, Echeverias, etc.
These cuttings work great for creating Living Wall arrangements, succulent dishes/gardens, succulent wreaths, topiaries etc. They root quickly as well and as they grow and fill in, you can trim them yourself and have additional cuttings! These may also be used for special events to add to your décor! These are not ideal for weddings and events as they may have been cut days, weeks prior and are closer to the rooting stage.
Note: Some cuttings have smaller length stems than others, Floral Pins etc. are often used to hold them down until they have naturally established their own roots to keep them tight! Please see various youtube videos showing how cuttings can be secured for wreaths, walls etc.
For Wedding cuttings, please see our Rosette wedding succulent cuttings! They are more appropriate for bouquets, corsages and boutineers and other uses where you want more color "Pop"!.
If you are looking for larger type cuttings, or larger amounts, please convo us.
And please see our Cutting FAQ for all the info needed on rooting these succulent cuttings!
Wow! Super Sonic Shipping! couldn't believe they came so fast considering I'm on the east coast!..I Love my cuttings, what was I thinking not ordering more! Healthy, & beautiful! Thank you so much..I'll be back for more.
Ordered some of these with my cacti, because I was using a giftcard and wanted to use the whole value. I also thought they might be interesting to give to friends. I got way more than I expected. They were all healthy and some even were starting to form roots.
I chose your site for the variety and thought I'd order some cuttings. Well am I glad I did! They came in great condition and got more than expected! I laid them out for them to start rooting. It's been a week and they've already started showing their little roots. I'm so excited, I can't wait to start potting them! Will send photo when I've completed some potting. Thanks again!!
I realize it's hard to ship plants from one end of the state to the other without stressing them, especially cuttings, but I've seen done before elsewhere so I know it's possible. I'm pretty happy with the variety I got just a bit sad that all but one came in with some wilting, damaged, and browning leaves because cuttings can be a bit hard to root so getting them not in perfect health just makes me worried they won't do well for me. The price is awesome though so I can't really complain
I had ordered 25 cuttings and they were received in very good condition. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were at least 9 different varieties and they were much larger than I had expected! This is my first attempt at propagating succulents and found their website to be very helpful.
Greetings from pennsylvania! The succulent cuttings arrived beautifully:) but the plants got beat up a bit. I understand it's hard to ship plants the whole way across the US. But I was just wandering if there was a way to reinforce the box so it dosn't get smashed. This is not a complaint I was just asking. I love your website I'm 14 and I'm starting a micro business doing succulent arrangments:) I learned about you from #Garden answer on youtube. Thank you for the beautiful succulents I will be ordering from you again:)
I am happy with the shipment. Everything was packaged with care and the succulents are beautiful. I'm sorry, I don't have a picture of our creations yet. But hopefully I can some soon.
My whole experience with the ordering, shipping, and receiving has been great! The plants are great sizes and quality. The cuttings I ordered were a great variety, and good sizes. Great Experience
❤love will be ordering again!
I am giving a 4 Star Rating only due to the fact that many of my succulents arrived damaged. :( I was however, super impressed by the customer service and rate at which my succulents arrived.
I will order again but I don't know, how to choose.
I recently discovered succulents and decided to order online because of the amazing reviews The Succulent Source has. I received my shipment of these beautiful little plants from The Succulent Source in less then 1 week. I am very happy with the way they take care of these little ones for shipping. They arrived very well- only the minimal damage that is expected with this kind of shipment. I ordered 25 (cacti & succulent mix) and Received 28 beauties!! (thank you for the extra gifts). I also ordered a Lithops Living Stones Container & 5 Mesemb Mimicry - I can't believe their beauty!!! Thank you so much Andrea & The Succulent Source for all your help and your kindness. God bless you and that all you touch prosper.
The succulent babies were great. The arrived quickly and in good shape. The assortment was super. Thank you.
These cuttings were healthy with a great variety. Size was amazing! Can't wait for them to root and grow!
Received succulents promptly and it was a great selections!
I was so excited when I received my cuttings (seemed like it took forever however, it was only a couple days) kudos on the fast shipping! I set them up for rooting and most of them took right off in the first week, others took a bit longer but all were healthy and did just fine. I was so happy with the random assortment it was like a surprise to see all the neat varieties. I've gone a little overboard this year with succlents and now need to figure out where they will spend their winter months. I WILL be placing another order I'm super happy with my first purchase and love my plants, thanks so much!
My succulent order arrived quickly and all the plants were in good condition. I have them in soil, waiting for them to take root. Very happy with the order and service!
I wanted some plants to fill in a planter I have, and decided on cutting because of the price. My order arrived very quickly and the cuttings were all fairly well healed. After another week of just laying on top of the soil some had started to grow nice pink roots. Two or three had bruised leaves (which may matter to some people), but I did receive a few more than I had actually ordered. Great variety of colors, textures, and types. Now I just wish I knew what they were all called! Will definitely order more from here in the future.
Amazing, very happy with the cuttings i receive. Fast and amazing. So amazing that I ordered more. Can't wait for them to root. Did I say amazing!
I received some amazing cutting!!! Hoping that they will all root!! Thank you so much!!! Amazing amazing amazing!!!!!
Absolutely stunning! I can't wait for the wedding! These are sure to fly right off the favor table♡
Nice collection will buy again
Fantastic selection of cuttings.... Many of which I hadn't seen before. Exactly what I wanted to perk up my burgeoning succulent collection. I will definitely be ordering more soon. Thanks for feeding the addiction...
Shipping was very fast and I got an awesome selection when I ordered 10! I will definitely be coming back for more!
Loved my order of succulent cutting as well as my 2" assorted succulents. I'm confident that I will have my hanging wall garden filled in no time. Thank you !!!
Got my first order of happy little
succulent cuttings. Love everything about the variety of my cuttings and your family-owned and run operation. I'll be back to shop again super soon.
I was extremely pleased with my order of cuttings. Some already started to root! I can't wait to make another order soon! Thank you Succulent Source
I am trying my hand at growing plants out of cuttings for our centerpieces for our wedding. I requested a variety because I wanted the succulents to be a special part of the wedding, and that's exactly what they sent. It was nice that they also packed extra just in case some of them did not take. Of course, a big bonus was the plants came in earlier than projected! I just love that I know that I will be taken care of while ordering from the Succulent Source!
Received my first order, I'm thrilled with my starts, they arrived in just a few days and in perfect condition.
There were a number that I hadn't seen before from my local nursery.
I plan on purchasing with Succulent Sources again and again.
Absolutely loved my cuttings I ordered. They were so big and healthy. All were different varieties. I even got some extra!!! Will definitely buy here again. Loved the service and quality
My plants came in great shape. Hoping they do well here in South FLorida. Just moved here and learning where they like to be. Looking forward to seeing new growth. Will definitely order again!
Our succulents are doing great!! We haven't lost any so I figure I must be doing somethingsomething right.
I just received my package today, well packed and ready to grow. some even had babies and roots forming. Look forward to the later stages :)
I ordered 10 of these beauties and they arrived in 4 days and more importantly, they arrived safe and sound. The diversity is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to order more. Thanks Succulent Source, you're making my garden beautiful one succulent at a time.
My first purchase and wont be my last purchase. I will definitely purchase many more times. Everything was packaged and shipped very good. The plants were healthy too.
Thanks Again and see you real soon. :-)
All planted and doing great! Good size and selection. 3rd purchase from this excellent shop!
Mother's day gift. Perfect
After looking for weeks for inexpensive plants for my wedding, I was so happy to see that succulent cuttings were offered. Since I have a greenhouse at work, I thought it would be the perfect option for me. I received my plants in great time. They were carefully wrapped and I was particularly pleased to see they had already been calloused over. Some of them even had tiny roots! As I lined them up in trays I realized I had been sent several extra plants (I assume to account for loss). So far they all look great! I will definitely be ordering from The Succulent Source again.
I loved getting my cuttings in the mail. The day they came I ordered more! They're still gorgeous!
I ordered 4 cuttings and they arrived within a weeks time. The team at the succulent source answered all my questions along the way and my plants arrived in pretty good shape. I received a nice variety of cuttings with different colors, heights and textures. After a few days in a box they were definitely ready to get potted and see some sunshine and within days they perked up. They are looking just terrific now and my rosettes have begun to open up and I've already seen some fresh growth! They make me so happy! Do not order succulents anywhere else! I will certainly order more! You will be delighted with your purchase and they will brighten up your home!
I'm so pleased with my cuttings. They arrived in only 2 days after I placed my order, and they were in excellent condition. I will be ordering more in the near future.
We order 225 plants. I would highly recommend the Succulent Source for all your planting needs. They were prompt getting the order out and the plants were extremely healthy. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely order from them again.
My order arrived in great time and I was very pleased with the assortment of cuttings. I actually received a succulent "cutting" that had roots already, so I planted it immediately. I'm super excited for the others to start rooting and will definitely shop here again.
My ordered arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Such a great assortment ! I will order again !
I bought a random assortment of cuttings, at $.80 each it's a great deal that's hard to pass up. They arrived quickly and in beautiful shape. it was a great variety (I ordered 14) and even scored a couple that I haven't been able to find in The Central Valley. It's been a week and they've already showed some growth, one already even starting to sprout a few new buds. What a great company- i'll order again for sure!
The cuttings selection you sent was perfect! I was pleased that they lasted so long once they arrived ... it was a week before the event. A lot of variety was exactly what I needed to decorate the bride's cake. I'm sending a picture of the finished results. Will definitely be back when I need more succulents! Thanks for all your help when ordering.
I received my order the other day and I am truly impressed with the quality for the price point. All my cuttings arrived healthy and without damage. I will definitely be ordering again. Laura from Garden Answers surely found a gem with The Succulent Source. I am so pleased she shared this information with her viewers. Thank you!
I got these for a gift for my mom :) and she was so excited and loved every single one! Although we had too look the names up! It was still fun and filled with mystery! We finally planted them in a strawberry plant! I tagged you on Instagram so you guys can see :) we will be a repeat customer for sure!
This was my first order with the succulent source. I loved the time and care that I received when placing my order. I could not believe how fast I received my order. All the plant arrived in perfect condition and I was really impressed with the great assortment of plants. Looking forward to my next order. Great job succulent source. Thanks Teri
Arrived in perfect conditions. Great variety. Will be ordering again! These are perfect for craft projects
Succulents where in great health and packaging condition when I received them from across the country. There was also a great variety! Couldn't be happier. Thanks Succulent Source!
Thank you for the fast delivery it only took 3 days and the succulents were good size peaces I was very happy with them and love the little potted ones tooo
Great variety. Very healthy. Packaging was good, but I hate those peanuts! Others I bought from used crumpled news paper. I won't order from the others again due to having to unwrap a bunch of cuttings. I liked that they were wrapped by cutting. However that isn't a deal breaker. Based upon the companies I ordered from all said and done. I will only order from succulent source. Peanuts and all. Excellent.
I live in Colorado where the weather is quite unpredictable, so I ordered a heat pack along with 200 cuttings. The pack was no longer warm when I opened the package, but luckily it had arrived on a 70 degree day.
I'm using these succulents for table centerpieces at my sister's campground wedding reception. I decided to go with cuttings instead of rooted plants, due to budget and sheer optimism.
Nearly all the cuttings arrived in great condition (save for 3 dark red/purple leaf cuttings that arrived wilted and lost most leaves as soon as I handled them). The packaging was great. I was also pleasantly surprised by the size of these cuttings. I was fully expecting small cuttings, but was thrilled when I opened the package to find several larger rosettes, some GORGEOUS jade cuttings, among other 3-5" or larger cuttings. Far exceeded my expectation.
So long as I can root them out successfully, these plants will be perfect for the main event.
Thanks for the great plants!
Loved everything I got form The Succulent Sorce, the delivery time was awesome and very well packaged. I will definitely be ordering some more soon as I just started my succulent collection.
Thank you The Succulent Sorce!
I am very happy with my order. The quality of the cuttings are amazing. However, there were a couple mishaps with my order, this company had amazing costumer service and worked quickly to make it right. Thank you Succulent Source!!!

A less hectic day in San Francisco
... become used to US prices so after choosing 3 items at $10 each I hesitated at paying $20 for a shirt. $50 and 4 items later off we went. I've noticed the food in San Fran is cheap in some places but Australian prices in other places. And we don't have food poisoning this time so we are having 3 meals a day. And wine. New York was a lot cheaper. Tomorrow we have to take a bus to Oakland and then board our train to Santa Barbara. We are in a 2 seater roomette on the train - ...

Eventually a cable car pulled up that was full except for a little bit of room in the back next to the break engineer. Grampa told Mom and I that we should go, so we did, quickly, with no time to question him. We hopped up and held on. It was an awesome ride. We were uphill, downhill, whizzing up and down the streets, past pretty houses and hilly roads. We were sharing the space with a nice man who spoke broken English. He kept making jokes with us about ...

... in the Marina. The sun was starting to shine and we had our first proper view of Alcatraz Island - very impressive! Next stop - the famous Lombard street! Dubbed 'the most windy road I the world', it was built in wiggly lines as the gradient was too steep for vehicles to climb up or go down safely. It is now a highly manicured, green road - where abundant flower gardens fill the space in between the bends of the road. We realised that this was the first touristy stop that ...

I was tense the whole way there, contemplated getting off and grabbing a cab as it was only about 7 km to the airport, but then knowing we had to find a cab, and then make sure it had a big enough boot space for our luggage, I thought it would just be easier to stay on the bus. We got to the airport at 6:17 am as expected - at least the buses run on time - and we 'hussled' our way through the airport, into the lift, up to terminal A, to the end ...

Step up Keith Medlycott, 33, Surrey's new director of cricket and for the past two years director of provincial cricket for the Northern Titans (formerly Northern Transvaal). Medlycott, a left-arm spinner, was selected for England's tour to the West Indies in 1989-90 and it seemed he was on the verge of something big. Instead it was the start of something horrible as he hardly featured and on his return was ambushed by the dreaded "yips".
The pressure of turning the ball away from the bat lends itself to maverick personalities full of bravado and roguish charm, witness the two Phils, Tufnell and Edmonds, and Medlycott is no exception. Always ready with a comment and a laugh, he struggled on until Surrey released him at the end of 1992 when he decamped to Pretoria to coach. Now he is back and awaiting the coming series with interest, especially as he is in a minority who believe England can win.
"We're not far off where we want to be - God, he's moosed that one," he said earlier this week, the first part about English cricket and the second a natural response to an Alistair Brown special that was bouncing off the pavilion roof at Southampton.
Medlycott continued his chirpy commentary of the game throughout the conversation, his boyish enthusiasm, energy and sense of fun fully evident. "During the winter we had our chances but didn't take them," he continued. "If we can learn to take a chance, then the next one and the next one, suddenly winning will become a habit."
But this is the heart of England's problems, other teams win through in tight situations. Passion, hunger, mental toughness, all have been discussed as the probable reason why but Medlycott thinks it is purely a cricketing reason. "Look at Australia and South Africa," he said, "both have match-winning bowlers. Australia have [Glenn] McGrath and [Shane] Warne and when they score only 250 or 300 these bowlers make it a competitive score. It's the same with South Africa, they've got [Allan] Donald and [Shaun] Pollock - they are world-class bowlers.
"Unfortunately we haven't got these consistent match- winners. To win we have to post some big scores and allow our bowlers to work together as a team to get the 20 wickets. Our top six are highly rated and if they can see off the threat of Donald and Pollock, then I feel the South African bowling is a possible weakness, players like [Roger] Telemachus and [Makhaya] Ntini are pretty inexperienced. I don't believe their batting is weak, we should watch out for [Gary] Kirsten, he's a fine player in both forms of the game."
The one attribute that the South Africans have oozing from every pore is a "never say die" attitude, in this they are very similar to the Australians. It was this attitude of national pride that David Lloyd believed was lacking when he assumed command two years ago. Aiming to emulate this mentality, England started listening to recordings of speeches by Winston Churchill, but the irony was that neither the South Africans nor the Australians need this prompting - they just have mental fortitude.
Medlycott has witnessed first hand the differences that allow South Africans to develop this inner power: "There are many reasons why they are mentally stronger than us," he said. "South Africans love to fight, they love to battle and this shows in their sport. They see it as a battle and treat it as such. It starts as children because their facilities are so good that they play competitive cricket from a young age. Only at county level are our facilities any good.
"Their club structure has a definite edge as well because their provincial players still play club cricket, raising the standard and allowing club players and youngsters to see how much hard work is needed to succeed. I don't think that their provincial game is better than our county game. But they can train to peak more because they play less, this means they are fit and raring to go. In England, players will go from a Test to a quarter-final next day. Other countries have rest as an integral part of their training, we don't and it shows.
"Our players desperately want to win, though, and really I think we can do the South Africans. I just hope we get a flyer because like the Australians last year I think they will get stronger later in the season."

Tomorrow all day and Friday 5/15 , one of my programs at work is having an internal then government Earned Value Management (EVM) surveillance. I ask you to implore St. Joseph Cupertino's intercession. You can read about our saint here at New Advent: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08520b.htm The prayer for his intercession:
O Great St. Joseph of Cupertino who while on earth did obtain from God the grace to be asked at your examination only the questions you knew, obtain for me a like favour in the examinations for which I am now preparing. In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked. Through Christ our Lord. St. Joseph of Cupertino, Pray for us. Amen.

She was getting bored of the same old bassinet.
(submitted by Martin)
I am a veterinary student, and I love snakes. However, it's important to remember that snakes are not domesticated animals. While dogs and cats have been bred for thousands of years to live and interact with humans, these snakes still have wild characteristics, even though bred to become pets. I'm not saying that the snake is vicious and going to eat the baby. I'm just saying that if the snake were startled during the photo shoot, he could potentially squeeze or bite the baby out of fear and instinct (pythons kill by squeezing their prey to the point of suffocation). Adult python owners have been killed by their snakes, so it is not so far fetched that a snake could injure a baby. I would even be wary of a dog/baby photo shoot, where the baby is placed so close to the dog that the dog is uncomfortable. All pets have the potential to injure, and in most cases, it's out of fear and discomfort, not aggression. I think a picture of the baby next to the snake, while the snake is safe and secure in his enclosure, would have been a better substitute.
P.S. This baby appears to be very young…reptiles often shed salmonella and other bacteria as part of their normal flora. While this is fine for adult (or older kid) handlers, who can wash hands/maintain good hygiene, I would not want to expose a very young baby with an underdeveloped immune system to these pathogens!
this is looking super duper fresh mega fresh at that
The first 11 comments that I can see at the bottom are definitely full of bias and fear. I am not an animal nut, and I don't like snakes, but view myself as basically impartial. I'm glad to see the more recent comments adding some well needed perspective to the matter……for those claiming "call child services/baby endangerment" I definitely make the same point as some others: would you say the same thing if the baby was placed next to a dog?? Man, there are lots of people who would let their young kids next to a giant dog, and that makes me WAY more nervous than seeing this picture…..
It's Sunny and the Incredibly Deadly Viper!
I own and breed many snakes, and not once have I been in fear about my child being around any of our snakes. Honestly, my husband has been attacked by 2 dogs, both were hospital trips. NEVER have either of us even been bit by our snakes. That child is in no danger. Plus that snake is a burmese python, they are KNOWN in the herp world to be gentile giants and never being aggressive. Beautiful snake and what a cute little baby! Great picture!
These snakes ALMOST never attack. They are relatively safe as long as you respect them. You are never supposed to even drape them around your necks because they could casually choke you, and if you panic, which tends to happen when your air is cut off, they WILL clamp down. It wouldn't take much for instinct to take over here. Saying the baby is in no danger shows me you had no business raising snakes.
These freaks & their snakes, I swear.
Caption should read…We used to call the snake "Baby", but now what?
I lost my boa Della in a fire a month before my son was born, so we missed the chance to try this. Looks comfortable, though.
And no, of course the kid's in no danger. Of course there'd be time to stop anything awful happening – even a bite is far more danger to the snake than the child.
Any snake is fragile – far more fragile than either the kid or the grownups.
I think it's a perfectly elegant photo.
Really, this is not a big deal. It looks worse, especially to those who have phobias of snakes, than it actually is. People take photographs of their infants leaning on their huge dogs all the time-with their little hands in their giant jaws, and rarely do people scream, "oh my god! That dog could turn at any second and rip the babies face off!" Even though that would happen much, much quicker than a snake could ever constrict.
Snakes constrict slowly. So long as mom or dad are standing right there, there really isn't anything to worry about. I've seen many worse brainless photos on facebook- babies on boats without life jackets, on motorcycles without helmets or protection, sleeping face down on a puffy comforter- all these are much more dangerous than this silly little photoshoot.
people tend to forget that all animals are capable of doing harm. thank you for pointing it out.
I have had my fair share of "dangerous" or unusual pets and the most common question was always "will it bit me" my reply was always the same, "never has before but it is an animal and it does have teeth"
But at least mammals have a prefrontal cortex, as opposed to reptiles, who of course only have their 'reptilian brain' which only enables that animal to feel hungry, procreate, and sleep. There is no ability to infer causality, consequence, or loyalty with a reptile. If that snake hadn't been fed in awhile, don't think that baby wasn't fair game for that snake.
OK, and? IIRC some studies have shown that dogs don't necessarily recognize babies as human. I'm pretty sure more dogs bite (and kill) babies than constrictors. The snake and baby were supervised and the mood of the snake was undoubtedly gauged for aggression and found lacking. (Can you tell if a snake is fidgety or temperamental? You betcha. Precious is a cranky, cranky little girl, and she shows it.)
We're not taking about some Boa that was plucked from the African jungles here. We're talking about a beloved pet. Have you ever watched a snake eat? They take time to assess what they're going after. They take in scent particles, monitor for heat, distinguish if their prey has fur… They don't attack whatever comes their way. Boas are not vicious by nature. The snake in the picture is completely at ease, probably very familiar with the baby's scent. There's absolutely no threat to the baby, especially if there's people standing by. This picture is terrific, and the snake is gorgeous.
How does the fact that a Dog is more likely to attack a baby negate the danger of a Boa? Does the fact that I am more likely to be eaten by a bear because I live in Alaska mean a Lion wouldnt eat me if given the right circumstances? A constrictor usually only constricts an adult because it feels threatened or is reacting to the persons fear because the snake recognizes the adult as a larger predator. Babies on the other hand are NOT a larger predator, they are small and helpless and edible. There are ALOT of people who say "Oh no prescious has never bitten anyone" right before Prescious attempts to take somones face off. Animals understand irony
These parents should be fed to the snake. There have been too many horror stories, and why even place your child in danger? There's no such thing as "well, I know my snake really well, and he loves the baby". um yeah, they should go to jail for endangerment.
Not even remotely funny…
NO. NO. This is not awkward, it's not funny. It's just WRONG. NO. Not cool.
Someone call Child Protective Services.
The title should say "There is nothing we wouldn't do for our pet snake." This is crazy!
This particular photo package comes with a FREE referral to DFS!
If the parents/photographer thought this would be a safe setting as long as they didn't take their eyes off of them they should consider the fact that they STILL put the life of a child at risk no matter how safe they thought they could make it. Why not just make a circle out of lit tealights instead of a snake? No risk there, right? It's astounding how ignorant some parents can be!
WHAT THE HECK! That's not awkward, that's plain STUPID! How terrifying!!
This just scares the crap out of me.
I jut want to add … look at the baby's face …she sure doesn't seem super happy. Now I know it is hard to get an infant to smile in a picture but to me that look says "holy crap help help help!"

Wells Fargo & Co will pay a net $541 million to Fannie Mae to settle claims over defective home loans, completing the government-controlled mortgage company's efforts to have banks buy back troubled loans made before the financial crisis.
Fannie Mae said on Monday it has reached settlements worth roughly $6.5 billion over loan buybacks with eight banks, including Wells Fargo, the nation's largest mortgage lender and fourth-largest bank by assets.

I worked on the US drone program. The public should know what really goes on
Whenever I read comments by politicians defending the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Predator and Reaper program – aka drones – I wish I could ask them some questions. I'd start with: "How many women and children have you seen incinerated by a Hellfire missile?" And: "How many men have you seen crawl across a field, trying to make it to the nearest compound for help while bleeding out from severed legs?"
Or even more pointedly: "How many soldiers have you seen die on the side of a road in Afghanistan because our ever-so-accurate UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicle] were unable to detect an IED [improvised explosive device] that awaited their convoy?"
Few of these politicians who so brazenly proclaim the benefits of drones have a real clue of what actually goes on. I, on the other hand, have seen these awful sights first hand.
Cryptolocker ransomware has 'infected about 250,000 PCs'
A virulent form of ransomware has now infected about quarter of a million Windows computers, according to a report by security researchers.
Cryptolocker scrambles users' data and then demands a fee to unencrypt it alongside a countdown clock. Dell Secureworks said that the US and UK had been worst affected.
It added that the cyber-criminals responsible were now targeting home internet users after initially focusing on professionals.
State surveillance of personal data is theft, say world's leading authors
More than 500 of the world's leading authors, including five Nobel prize winners, have condemned the scale of state surveillance revealed by the whistleblower Edward Snowden and warned that spy agencies are undermining democracy and must be curbed by a new international charter.
The signatories, who come from 81 different countries and include Margaret Atwood, Don DeLillo, Orham Pamuk, Günter Grass and Arundhati Roy, say the capacity of intelligence agencies to spy on millions of people's digital communications is turning everyone into potential suspects, with worrying implications for the way societies work.
Where are the smartest 15-year-olds in the world?
The academic performance of 15-year-olds in the United States has stayed relatively the same in recent years, but with other nations improving, American students are slipping behind their international counterparts, according to a study released Tuesday.
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) released data on the 2012 academic performance of 15-year-olds around the world in three subjects: reading, mathematics, and science.
"We are not seeing any improvement in the U.S. … our ranking is slipping because other countries are improving," said Jack Buckley, NCES commissioner.
They're Watching You at Work
Algorithms that predict stock-price movements have transformed Wall Street. Algorithms that chomp through our Web histories have transformed marketing. Until quite recently, however, few people seemed to believe this data-driven approach might apply broadly to the labor market.
But it now does. According to John Hausknecht, a professor at Cornell's school of industrial and labor relations, in recent years the economy has witnessed a "huge surge in demand for workforce-analytics roles."
NSA slapped malware on 50,000+ networks, says report
A new slide culled from the trove of documents leaked by Edward Snowden shows where the NSA placed malware on more than 50,000 computer networks worldwide, according to Dutch media outlet NRC.
The NSA management presentation slide from 2012 shows a world map spiderwebbed with "Computer Network Exploitation" access points.
Like all the NSA slides we've seen so far, this one is unlikely to win a Powerpoint beauty pageant anytime soon.

Before the California Court of Appeal for the Fourth Appellate District decided Green v. State of
California (Green I), the law had been well-settled that plaintiffs carry the burden of proof on the essential elements of claims they assert in litigation. The Green I court decided otherwise, splitting
California authority on the issue of who must prove in disability discrimination cases that the employee is qualified to perform the essential functions of the job.
The California Supreme Court in Green v. State of
California (Green II) reversed the Green I court and reinforced standing law: this burden rests with plaintiffs. Kerri N. Harper, an associate in the San Francisco office of Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP, analyzes this important decision, outlines the practical implications in the workplace and in litigation, and provides a checklist of some of the issues employers and employees should explore when addressing requests for reasonable accommodation.

Here where I am, deep within myself where no one sees me, I stand and watch the crimson clouds slowly drift by in the broken, tainted sky. The paper flowers, which were once painted bright colours, are now all shades of black and gray. They hang their heads as if to mourn someone, I wonder who it is..? I wonder if it was someone important, or maybe even special… I feel the silky soft droplets slowly roll down my face; they are so warm that they actually sting my cold face as they run. I try to stop them, "this crying is childish, get a grip," I tell myself… unfortunately this just makes me cry even more. I could never cry so much so easily, what has happened to me? Why have I melted into this soft lump of emotion?! People tell me it is normal, it's not normal for me! I was once strong, I hid all emotion so well… I was loved and respected then, no one even tried to make trouble for me.. Yet, now that I've become what they wanted me to be, I am abused more and more…
I slowly lose control over my legs, and I collapse. I mange to sit in a comfortable position, my legs pulled up tightly against my torso, my head is nestled between my knees… I'm still sobbing my heart out, I wonder if it is possible for my tear ducts to ever dry up..? The skin on my face is now burning terribly, from the tiny droplets; these things people call tears. As they hit the warm ground they make a strange sizzling noise and dry up abruptly. I look up and see that the sky is turning a dark blue-black, I feel the wind picking up vigorously. Suddenly, out of nowhere the rain begins to pelt down on me; the droplets hurtle from the clouds like there is no tomorrow. The rain droplets sting my entire body, as if there were acid in the water. Slowly I just fall back, onto the rough ground, I cannot sit upright anymore. My spine just won't hold me in that position. As I lie flat on my back between the flowers with the rain pelting down on me, I feel the earth begin to shake, at first it is just slightly but slowly but surely the shaking becomes very intense. Suddenly and very abruptly, I hear a strange cracking noise, it starts off quite faintly but soon it is right beneath me… The ground opens up suddenly and swallows me…
Slowly, I begin to awaken. What happened? Where am I? Am I alive or dead? Then I realize, it was all just a dream…

Sr Eleonore Gaudet
Aug. 29, 1898
Prince Edward Island, Canada
Dec. 10, 1992
Quebec, Canada
Sister Eleonore Gaudet, S.G.M.
Member of the Grey Nuns of Montreal.
Born: August 29, 1898
Profession: February 15, 1921
50th: August 15, 1971
Died: December 10, 1992
She welcomed the sick, the lonely and those in need. She once said, "With God, nothing is lost." She was a powerful, faith filled woman.
She opened her heart, helped the poor in the hospital, and made herself their servant to the end of her life.
Service of the poor requires courage based on trust. Sister Eleonore Gaudet showed this trust in God during her lifetime on Earth. She never quit though tired, never despaired though overwhelmed.
Montreal - On the 10th of December 1992, Sister Eleonore Gaudet, age 94, formerly of St. Louis, P.E.I., passed away at the Mother House of the Grey Nuns. She leaves to mourn her Sisters in religion, her siblings Marie (Mrs. James Brown), Wilfred, and Philip: her sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews. Her body will lie in wake at the Mother House, 1190 Guy Street in Montreal, on Friday, 11 December 1992 at 1:30 pm. Funeral services will be held at the Mother House at 10 am, on the 12th of December, followed by the interment at Ile St. Bernard, Chateauguay. Parents and friends are invited to attend. In Lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Mere Youville (the Foundress) would be greatly appreciated.

Soeur Eleonore Gaudet - A short Biography of her life
In the picturesque village of St.Louis, Prince Edward Island (Canada), a child, named Eleonore, will see in time her life take a sudden turn. She was born on August 29, 1898 and baptised in the Immaculate Conception Parish on the following 4 of September. Daughter of Jean-Pierre Gaudet and Sophie Bernard where at an early age she is initiated into the distinctive virtues of Acadian families. The Gaudet couple had ten children of which a son only lived a few months. Eleonore was the third in line followed by her five brothers and two sisters—the last two children were born after her departure from home.
The Lord intervened in Eleonore's adolescent life at a very early age. He followed His usual modus operandi, leading us to believe that what one considers as coincidences or fortuitous encounters are, in short, the intervention of Providence, as stated by the author Charles Peguy (1878-1914).
Alma, the eldest in the family, left her native village for the metropolis in 1911, with the intention of continuing her studies whilst being employed. During her journey to Montreal, a lady-traveller enquires about Alma's plans once in Montreal; she cautions her about the inherent dangers of life in the "Big City". She subsequently suggests that she meet with Sister Dalton at the Mother House of the Grey Nuns who would be able to be of assistance; from then on Alma was part of our personnel. The nun in charge of the convent staff recognizes the refined manners and good education of her new employee, whereby she broaches the subject of a religious vocation for her, prompting Alma to respond: "I do not have a religious vocation, but my younger sister, Eleonore, would make an excellent Grey Nun!"
However, Eleonore is only 15 years old; Alma, nonetheless, persuades her sister to join her in Montreal where she will have the privilege of continuing her schooling at our Ecole Menagere St.Joseph (domestic science school) located near the Cathedral Marie-Reine du Monde. Trusting the judgement of her elder sister, Eleonore arrives in Montreal during the summer of 1913 and registers in the above-mentioned boarding school. She eventually graduates with success where she is recognised as not only an exceptional housekeeper, but as a pious and obedient young girl.
Eleonore was deeply impressed by her teacher, Sister Valerie Fugere who, besides being a teacher, held multiple responsibilities: such as, vice-principal, purser and pharmacist. "In those days, diplomas were not compulsory; we let our hearts guide us." Eleonore admires this worthy daughter of Mother Marguerite d'Youville who is discreet, devoted and altruistic, whilst carrying out very humble tasks. "She was for me more than a mother, for, she proved to be my model which I longed to emulate (...). I am truly beholden to Sister Fugere for helping me, along with God, persevere in my religious vocation."
Eleonore is literally enthralled by the "Grey Ideal"; she enters the Novitiate on August 2, 1918, a few months before the end of World War 1. She reveals her wish to become an auxiliary nun (one assigned to domestic duties). The mistress of novices, Mother Benoit, suggests, instead, that she become a traditional nun, "where you will have ample opportunities to exercise the virtue of humility". Meanwhile, the new novice devotes her time to spreading joy to everyone; "she encouraged and consoled us, while reminding us that everything eventually comes to an end and that one must give one's self wholeheartedly to God", as expressed by a fellow-nun.
All through her active religious life, Sister Eleonore not only kept her kindred spirit but enhanced her spirit of good will towards everyone. Six months after taking her temporary vows, she is assigned, to her great joy, as cook at the Hospice St.Joseph, where she will meet and work with her "model", Sister Fugere, who will continue to guide her religious destiny. In no time, Sister Gaudet becomes an accomplished and well-appreciated cook. She, subsequently, accepts the ordinance to serve in our various missions: namely, Beauharnois, the Creche d'Youville, and the St.Jean-sur-Richelieu Hospital. However, a dark shadow looms upon her: her health beginning to deteriorate. On two separate occasions, she is treated for tuberculosis at our St.Agathe-des-Monts Sanatorium. Following her discharge from the Sanatorium, she accepts lighter duties in order to further her convalescence. She then works at the Mother House (making hosts), at the Varennes boarding school, in the linen room, and finally, in Chateauguay in 1969, before taking pre-retirement at the Foyer St.Antoine de Longueuil. Whilst living there, she is doubly blessed, since her youngest sister and father reside nearby, which enables our dear Eleonore to visit and help her ailing father. On May13, 1970, age 99, he committed his soul to God. "Your presence at the funeral has been to us an utmost consolation" writes the brave Grey Nun, who, within a few months will celebrate her 50th anniversary of religious life. Once more, she is grateful for her life as she eloquently addresses the Superior General: "Our Jubilee was blessed by your presence for which we are deeply touched".
Likewise, Sister Eleonore thanks the Provincial Mother, who had congratulated her for still endeavouring to be of service to others: "Your kind words lead me to believe that I am still able to help and serve others which is true, since I love everyone. I was always overwhelmed by God's love and also that of my entourage. I thank God for such a precious gift."
In a few words, our dear elder Sister gave us her innermost recipe for serenity: she loves and is loved—one must not search elsewhere for the secret to her constant good humour. "She never complains, not even about her age-related physical disabilities", comments a fellow-nun.
It was always Sister Gaudet's deep and genuine wish to "devote her entire life to missionary work in order to help the destitute". Our Lord, in a way, granted her cherished wish, whereby she had the privilege of meeting the Reverend Father Jean Benoit, Pretre des Missions Etrangeres (Foreign Missions) who was assigned to Honduras. She embraced his worthy cause, as Mother Marguerite had done for Pierre Menard, and finds her vocation in sending numerous cases containing various goods and clothing to distribute to his flock. Furthermore, she maintains an active correspondence with the Missionary who later will say: "Her letters were an inspiration and a source of encouragement to me. She was indeed (as well as in deeds) a real mother" he sincerely declares. This missionary apostolate of hers lasted thirty years, up to the time, when at the end of her active career, our courageous Grey Nun returns, in 1982, to the Mother House to await His coming and abide by His will. This long-drawn-out period lasted until December 10, 1992 when our combative invalid breathed her last at 6:15 pm.
On Saturday, December 12, Reverend Father Jean Benoit, with our chaplain Andre Cousineau, concelebrated the funeral service. We then learned of the grand missionary apostolate of our dear sister, which added to our already existing admiration for her.
To her sister, her two brothers, nieces and nephews, we do not hesitate to affirm that Sister Eleonore's prayers are with you and that the bonds of fraternal affection will have intensified now that she partakes in the Resurrection of Christ.
With regard to her religious family, we are convinced that she will intercede with Mother Marguerite on our behalf so that we may continue our mission here, as well as abroad, by following in her foot-steps to assist the poor and the underprivileged.

Cheney State Park is located ~20-30 minutes from Wichita, yet is a world away in rural countryside quietude. Sites are large and mostly well spaced. We arrived in early November, and enjoyed warmer than average fall days that were around 70 for highs. The site hosts were very friendly and helpful. Before we arrived, we were advised by phone to go to the Smarsh campground as having water still turned on, which was the case. Unfortunately, there was no sewer hookup and even more surprisingly as there was a steady stream of campers, all bathrooms and shower facilities were completely closed for the season. There were several dump stations in the vicinity. A pleasant stay during the weekdays was tarnished somewhat during the weekend, where apparently extended family reunions on neighboring sites generated much noise and traffic. If the sites had sewer connections and bathrooms/showers had been open when we camped, this campground would have rated higher, similar to nice Corps of Engineers facilites (though this was Dam built with Bureau of Reclamation). - dns718
Mar 2012 - $20.00
Rate was $19.20 for an electric-only site. The sites are somewhat level and gravel. The water was not on and the restrooms were still locked but the power was on. The self check-in rates were confusing and we paid what appeared to be the correct rate for power only. The section we stayed in was on what looked like an arm extending out into the lake. I think we were the only campers in the entire park. Not sure why but maybe it is still considered winter, even though the temperature was 82. A nice overnight stay. - Fulltime 5er
Oct 2011 - $15.00
We stopped here for one night in our motorhome so our review will be limited in scope. We are in the off season and had a large site with electric, facing the lake - all to ourselves! In season It is meant for two camping units. The water had been turned off for the winter. After driving around the park for some time due to the confusing signage, and equally confusing price structure we located a camp host who did not come out of his trailer to talk with us but was able to let us know where we could camp, and how much the fees were. After getting settled in, it was a nice, quiet restful place. - ynnargynnarg

Although all the sites have 30 amp and 50 amp outlets, you are charged a premium for 50 amp even though we only used 30 amp. The site pads are gravel and dirt, which becomes slick mud and standing water when it rains. The view is limited insofar as it is a small reservoir. Sites are situated side by side with no intervening space. Not worth the price. - Timeking

We stayed here while visiting family in Wichita. This is a large county park on a lake with lots of electric only sites. Some sites have shade but most are in open grass fields. Check in is at the park office/store. The sites are not numbered and the person in the store didn't have any information on where to find one. She just said to drive around and hook up to one you like. Not all are 50 amp and the 50 amp boxes are randomly mixed in. After searching a bit we discovered that the boxes will have '50 AMP ELECTRIC' stenciled on them. There is a storm shelter near the camping area in case of severe weather. There is a camp host that checks to make sure you registered. I he county Sheriff patrolled the park regularly. The rate is with the senior discount. - Bruce Baker
Oct 2011 - $9.00
This is a very nice park situated around Lake Afton, a very pretty lake with swimming areas, a boat dock & ramp, playgrounds and even a model airplane field. Most of the sites are electric only, but they do have 16 sites on the east side of the lake with water and electric. 50 amp is available, and there is a dump station. Drinking water is available at several locations. They also sell propane at a very reasonable price, $2.89/gal. The price we paid reflects the Senior rate for electric only. The regular rate is $11 with $1 extra if you have water & electric. We loved this park and would definitely camp here again. - wntrtxn

We arrived about 6 pm and were directed to our site and connected our unit without difficulty. We noticed about 90% of the RV units were occupied by residents who were there for work related in the surrounding areas. While most sites were clean it was apparent that many of the units had not been relocated in many months. Our next door neighbor was absent but left his HVAC unit running most of the night in the heating mode and it was less than 5 feet from our bedroom window. - Birdieman

This IS NOT the rodeo arena campground as stated in a prior review and the reason we stayed here. Outside of a fairly good location and the only place in town with all hookups, would not recommend. No amenities whatsoever. $20 per night far too high. There is a state park just about 10-15 miles to the east where you will spend less and get more. - Legends Of America
Jul 2012 - $6.00
This is a city park at the rodeo arena. There is electric only, but there are only three 50A sites. There is a dump/water site. You have to go by Whites IGA grocery to get a key to unlock the electric box, pay $20 deposit, return key in morning, and get your change back. #26 and #36 have "some" shade. The sites are not level, grass, and full of sand burrs. The roads are dirt. However, it is quite and worked for a overnight stop. Is really for the locals with horse trailers and living quarters, as they use it quite a bit. We would use it again. - jlb27537
Mar 2012 - $0.00
(Did not stay.) Looked like a nice place to stay except all of the sites are occupied by what looks like permanent residents. It is just a small area with hookups around the perimeter. Looked nice and clean. Don't bother making this a place to stay for a while until someone reports an opening. - Fulltime 5er

Small park in a quaint Amish community. Sites are level and utilities are excellent. Sites are on a grass field, about half of which are pull through. Used the park to visit friends nearby and would return. Payment is cash or check and is made at a pay station. Wifi is excellent. - nmunozjr
Apr 2016 - $25.00
Very quiet small park close to Hutchinson and Salt Mine Tour. Self check-in but manager is available by phone. Wide gravel street, some gravel on pad, grass & newly planted trees. Good drainage as we had a lot of rain and all is well. Full hookups, with 50 amp service and good Wi-Fi. This is a very underutilized park that people are missing out on. The town is Amish with farms surrounding it. It is away from the city but still close by to see the attractions. It has no pool or playground, but it is a nice clean park in a good location. We really enjoyed our 3 nights here in Yoder. - Freedom Bus
Jun 2013 - $20.00
Rate is for a 50 amp FHU pull-through site. This a small park, all open, no trees, some permanents in the back-in sites at the back area of the park, but their sites are orderly. Self check-in with drop box payment payment. The restrooms were clean and while there is a state hwy nearby, there was no traffic noise. One of those, glad it was there places when you are looking for a nice overnight stop in the middle of nowhere. - Big Moose

This is a newer park located right off the Kansas Turnpike. Wide gravel roads are easy to maneuver. We had a pull thru site which was level concrete but was very narrow and not long enough for us to stay connected. Sites are close together and do not have a patio or picnic table. There wasn't even enough room to set up our BBQ grill. Large dog run area and a very small play ground. No pool. Free wi-fi and cable. Walking distance to several restaurants. This is a nice clean park but is way over priced. We won't be back just due to the price. - travelswithpuppies
Nov 2016 - $48.00
Other than a bit pricey, this park could be a model for many others we have stayed in. What isn't grass is pavement and vice versa. Sites were plenty large enough for our class a plus toad. Sites were as level as any we have found. Nice to not have to sweep every time we came inside. Lots of food sites just outside the gate. Would stay again anytime. - lexilee
Oct 2016 - $36.00
Level concrete pads. Paved, wide roads. Utilities properly placed and worked satisfactorily. WIFI didn't work the first 3 days, but then worked fine. Cable TV was not High Definition, but otherwise good. No picnic table. Price is high for the lack of amenities, but it is a good place for a stopover for a few days. Daily rate shown was for a week's stay. - ramblin' vagabonds

A. All of our products are custom made to order. Our fabricators are located in Texas, California, Florida, and Mexico.
A. Production times vary from 1-10 business days and a production time estimate is provided for every product. We ship via FedEx Ground, we can ship by 2nd day or next day air but we have to get a quote on every order because the size of the boxes can vary greatly. Most orders are delivered 1-2 weeks from the order date.
A. Production times vary from 1-10 business days and a production time estimate is provided for every product. We ship via FedEx Ground with a shipping time of 1 to 5 business days. Most orders are delivered 1-2 weeks from the order date.
A. We are located in Houston, Texas, so we are required to collect 8.25% sales tax on orders shipped to Texas.
A. The $5.95 handling fee per order is used to offset the cost of our order review process. In an effort to avoid mistakes a member of our staff reviews every item on your order before it goes to the factory for production. There are some common mistakes made when ordering custom blinds, for example, rounding measurements to the nearest whole number, and reversing the width and height measurements. If we notice anything unusual or need clarification, your order will be placed on hold so that we can contact you.
A. Over 95% of our orders are shipped free of charge. However, horizontal blinds and shades 94" in width or greater, and vertical blinds 94" in width or height or greater, and all shutter orders are charged an oversize freight fee of $75. FedEx ground freight charges oversize freight surcharges for all oversized boxes which are actually more than the $75 we charge our customer. This is a one-time charge per order; if your order contains multiple oversized items or shutters, you will only be charged $75.
A. Your credit card will charged when your order is placed. All of our products are custom made to order and we must receive full payment before production begins.
A. In most cases, products with 1-2 day production times cannot be cancelled or changed after the order is placed. Products with production times of 3 or more days can be changed or cancelled if we are notified within 1 business day after the order is placed.
A. We only ship to the 48 contiguous United States.
A. You will receive an email when your order ships with tracking information.
A. There are some size limitations on certain products, usually due to weight. We recommend that faux wood blinds over 72" wide and wood blinds over 84" wide be split into 2 or 3 blinds on one headrail, depending on the configuration of your windows. Wood and fauxwood blinds are heavier than most other window coverings. By splitting the blinds you not only reduce the weight of the blind you also gain the ability to control light better.
The 2on1 or 3on1 headrail option is not available on all products and there is a fee for this option. The option will be available when customizing the items in your cart if the product you are ordering offers the 2on1 or 3on1 option.
You can also order 2 or 3 separate blinds with a a common valance. Please contact us for information about common valances.
A. We recommend that you measure the overall width (smallest of the measurements at the top, middle & bottom of the window). Then measure each window individually (middle of the mullion that separates the windows). The 3 individual window width measurements should add back to the overall width. Then order all 3 blinds as inside mount. The normal factory width deductions should allow the blinds to fit inside the brackets and move freely in the window. You can also order 1 valance to cover all 3 blinds by putting a note on each blind with the overall window width (at the top of the window). There is a charge for common valances on some products.
