We are so sorry the flowers you wanted weren't available. Unfortunately we are not able to carry all the flowers that are on our website at all times. Sometimes ordering well in advance will ensure you can get the exact flowers you want excluding seasonal flowers of course.

Ordered a bouquet and some cookies for a friend going through a rough time.

I was very pleased with my purchase, the friendly staff, and most importantly the condition of the flowers I purchased. The store has been there as far back as I can remember. I'm guessing I first went there in the late 60's. I am now around 3000 miles away, and still send flowers from them. I've never been disappointed.

I can honestly say that my experizence with the Purple Tulip Florist was a great experience and the flowers were absolutely beautiful.

Arenas pleads guilty to gun charge
Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas pleaded guilty today to carrying a pistol without a license in the District of Columbia, a felony conviction that could jeopardize his future in the NBA.
Arenas pleaded guilty to a single count of violating the city's strict gun laws as part of a plea bargain in D.C. Superior Court. He will remain free at least until his sentencing March 26.
The charge stems from a Dec. 21 incident in which Arenas acknowledged he stored guns in his locker at the Verizon Center and took them out to play a joke on a teammate.
The NBA has suspended him indefinitely. A pre-sentence report is not yet complete, but defense attorney Kenneth Wainstein said Friday that prosecutors have agreed not to seek a sentence longer than the low end of sentencing guidelines, which call for six months to two years. That could include probation, jail time or some combination. Judge Robert E. Morin emphasized he is not bound by prosecutors' recommendation.
Arenas "accepted full responsibility for his actions, acknowledged that those actions were wrong and against the law, and has apologized to all who have been affected by his conduct," Wainstein said in a statement.
Prosecutor Chris Kavanaugh, reading in court from a statement of facts that Arenas agreed to, said the charge stemmed from a Dec. 19 dispute with another player over a card game. Kavanaugh did not identify the other player, but authorities have searched the home of teammate Javaris Crittenton for a gun.
Kavanaugh said the disagreement developed during a team flight back from Phoenix. The other player offered to settle matters with a fist fight, but Arenas, 28, said he was too old for that and suggested he would instead burn the other player's Cadillac Escalade or shoot him in the face. The argument on the plane ended with the other player saying he would shoot Arenas in his surgically repaired knee.
Two days later, Kavanaugh said, Arenas brought at least one gun to the Verizon Center in a black backpack. He laid out four guns on a chair in front of the other player's locker with a sign saying, "Pick 1."
When the other player asked, "What is this?," Arenas responded: "You said you were going to shoot me, so I thought you would like some firepower. Pick one."
The other player said he had his own gun, threw one of Arenas' weapons across the room and then displayed what appeared to be a silver-colored firearm, Kavanaugh said.
Since Arenas first acknowledged keeping guns in his locker, he has publicly employed a "goof ball" defense, claiming he wasn't aware of the law, meant no harm and never takes anything seriously.
But he was subdued in court Friday, wearing a gray suit with a light pinstripe and responding in a soft voice to the judge's questions.
U.S. Attorney Channing D. Phillips said in a statement that "playing with firearms is no joke."
"Today's guilty plea to a felony count of carrying a pistol without a license reflects the seriousness and grave risk of such conduct," Phillips said.
Arenas, a three-time All-Star, earlier acknowledged storing four unloaded guns in his locker, saying he wanted to keep them away from his young children and didn't know it was a violation of the city's strict gun laws. He says he took them out of the locker Dec. 21 in a "misguided effort to play a joke" on a teammate.
He was charged Thursday, hours after Crittenton's northern Virginia apartment was searched by police looking for the silver- or chrome-colored semiautomatic handgun with a black handle. The search warrant indicated police were investigating crimes that include brandishing a weapon. No evidence was seized, according to court documents, and Crittenton has not been charged. Prosecutors said Friday that Crittenton has denied he had a firearm, but they are continuing to investigate.
Crittenton has previously said he did nothing wrong.
Even if Arenas avoids jail, the outcome of the legal process will have important implications on his future in the NBA and specifically with the Wizards. Possession of a gun at an NBA arena is a violation of the league's collective bargaining agreement, and last week commissioner David Stern suspended Arenas indefinitely without pay pending the outcome of the investigation, a move supported by the Wizards.
Stern was particularly upset that Arenas repeatedly joked about the matter with reporters and on Twitter. Arenas at one point said: "I'm a goof ball and that's what I am, so even doing something like this, I'm going to make fun of it and that's how I am."

When it comes to protecting your company's network, there are a lot of questions you need to ask yourself. What type of approach is right for your company? Should you choose the hands-on IT management, or the remote and resourceful vendor management?
The two are very different, and depending on various factors, like the size of your company or what kind of company you have (like e-commerce), makes a difference as to which type of management will be right for you.
If you're having trouble deciding, then this is what you'll need to look at.
What's the Difference?
IT management is a type of network management that's in the hands of one individual, or in some cases, an IT team. It's the actual management of network resources, including, but not limited to, patch management, service pack updates, or just any quick adjustments that need to be done. Their expertise is more general.
Vendor management, on the other hand, happens remotely. The vendor is managing and monitoring your backups, mobile devices, and your security. The vendor has all the resources beside them to deal with a whole array of network issues. They are able to do this because they know the specific products and networks they are dealing with and can leverage them effectively.
Which Type is Better for Which Company?
IT Management
IT management is hands on and it usually involves one IT person at a company. In IT management, your network resources are being managed as best as they can. When those are confirmed to be working well, then business should run smoothly. An IT person checks on your software, your firewalls, your devices, and any other type of network resources your company is currently using, to make sure they're working correctly.
If you are a small company or you're just starting out, then IT management is a good way to go. It's best for companies that just want to be sure everything is working how it should be; that nothing gets in the way of you interacting with your customers or managing your website.
Vendor Management
Vendor management is essentially when your management is outsourced to one person or group who can help you remotely. A vendor typically has better resources than your company's IT management, simply because this is what they specialize in. They are therefore able to manage each thing in your company that needs to be managed, one at a time, and with precision. They can do what they need to do from the back-end, without interrupting your flow of business.
Vendor management is, therefore, better for small and medium sized companies, if they are able to switch over.
Make Your Choice
Still not convinced?
We are. Having a vendor to manage your network is just more reliable and consistent than a single IT person. While having an IT person around is certainly a nice thing, as companies grow, they simply can't manage it all alone. With vendor management, you simply won't have to worry because they have EVERYTHING covered.

I had to wait to post this until I was sure my Mom got her card (she reads my blog - cool huh?).
I really like this saying - its by River City Rubber Works and it really sums up how I feel about motherhood. I worked somewhat difficult and stressful jobs when I was in "Corporate America", but for me - the Mom thing has been the most challenging job I've ever had. Some days I'm just not sure I do it very well, but I keep trying!
For this card, I cut vellum and cream cardstock the same size and stamped the saying on the right side of the vellum in Stazon black. Then I stamped the peony flower in gray on the left side of the cream card and colored it with prismcolor pencils. The peony is part of the Destination Asia set at Rubber Inspirations - I really like the images in this set.
I layered the vellum over the flower image and attached it with a ribbon through 2 punched holes. I matted the cream on some Bazzill green and then on some dark pink Bazzill Bling cardstock. Then mounted the whole thing on a cream card.
Happy Mothers Day Mom!

A first date can be daunting, you're meeting someone new and you have no idea where it might go! There's lots of advice online about what to do and what not to do on a first date which can often be confusing.
When dating, I feel that everyone should always keep in mind that you're there to be yourself. You're not there to convince somebody you're perfect for them, you're there to be completely honest and meet someone who loves you the way you are, continuing to bring out the best in you. This is just one of the key things that I've learnt from dating, and here's my additional first date 'don'ts'.
- Be late
First impressions count! Now, you may be thinking, 'But, Em! I want to come across as though I'm a busy, sociable person or in demand'. No. This isn't the way to get things off on the right foot. Being on time falls under having basic manners. Besides, arriving early gives you time to collect yourself, feel comfortable in your surroundings, and even get a quick drink before your date arrives. Being late portrays a lack of care and effort, which for me, is an instant turn-off with a guy and certainly doesn't set up the date to get any better.
- Tell your entire life story
I don't want to know that you had a goldfish called Pepsi when you were five or that you've won over twenty awards for your company. The amount of times I've been sat with a date wondering when he's going to ask me a question, and I've even cut a date short because I've ended up getting that fed up with their voice!
It's important to keep the conversation balanced. Show interest, be honest, share stories but don't keep it all one way.
- Pick controversial conversation topics
The last thing you want to do is become argumentative on a first date. Of course you're both going to have individual opinions on various topics but it's best to save that for at least date three! The first date is all about that initial ice breaker, lots of laughs and starting to get to know someone. Oh, and don't talk about your ex!
- Be unauthentic with choosing how to spend your first date
When choosing what to do for a first date, make sure it's something that you're comfortable with and isn't out of character for you. Again, you should just be yourself and do things that you both love. Plus, you don't want your date to book a sushi restaurant if you hate sushi! Don't be afraid to be honest and share your opinions on likes and dislikes.
- Have your phone out!
I mean is there seriously anything worse than talking to someone who checks their phone every two minutes to see if they have a notification? Again, complete turn-off for me. If you can't sit there and interact with me without checking you're phone – I'm out!
– Em from HelloYou –


text: I first heard about the mentoring project through my church. I had some spare time outside of work and thought it sounded like a great opportunity. After completing my training on the key skills I would need as a mentor, I was matched with my mentee. I felt nervous at first, as I was unsure about how the family would react to me. However, we all became comfortable with each other quickly and I was able to get to know my mentee through taking part in our shared hobbies together. Gradually I started to challenge his attitudes towards his peers, teachers and family and encouraged him to think about his future goals. I now understand what a huge difference speaking words of encouragement, rather than negativity, can make to a young person and have been so inspired through seeing my mentee begin to fulfil his potential.

So, I made homemade marshmallows. My mom calls me the messiest cook on the planet. She constantly follows me around with a broom and a dust pan, sweeping up remnants of soon-to be recipes. But it's not my fault. I swear! Sure, I'll admit that I can be messy sometimes, but it's only because our kitchen doesn't have enough room for me. I'm a big boy, and big boys need big kitchens to cook and bake in. And when there's not enough room, things go flying everywhere, regardless if there's a garbage bowl or not.
This weekend, my mother was following me around with that broom and dust pan more than she wanted to; she falls under the category of "obsessive compulsive" clean freak. I was tackling something I hadn't made in forever- marshmallows, and for any of you who've made the stuff, you know how messy the process can be. And boy did I hear it from my mother, "This kitchen better be as spotless as it was before you got in here!"
Luckily the kitchen was spotless after I finished wiping down the countertops four times and after washing every single sticky, marshmallow-y dish, wire whisk, spoon, and silicon spatula in the sink. Oh how much I loathe washing dishes… The thought of having to wash the stuff all on my own, every single time I make something, is horrendous! I think every food blogger should be given a nice dSLR camera [with accessories] (I've been eyeing this one and this one for quite a while…), a second Kitchen Aid mixer (because one is never enough!), a huge kitchen, and a personal dishwasher. I should be realistic, but oh if life was like that, I wouldn't be struggling to take half-descent photos with a cheap Canon point-and-shoot camera, and I wouldn't hear any complaining from my mother that the kitchen is an absolute pigsty.
Speaking of camera… Christmahanaquanzadan Santa wasn't good to me this year, he left a gift card, some clothing, a couple checks for my college applications, and a nice pair of shoes. No dSLR camera… And guess what? If Santa wants to see another batch of cookies next year, he'd better know what to come with by my birthday, or his butt is going to be freezing outside next Christmas, while I'm microwaving / roasting marshmallows and Petit Écolier cookies to make the most sophisticated and delicious s'mores that you will ever have in your entire life.
I might give santa some hot cocoa with some marshmallows though, because I am nice, and because he did leave us a nice little kitty on Christmas Eve… Oh, and guess what we named her- that's right, Eve. Isn't Eve adorable?! Oops, almost forgot that I didn't put the photo on here… Well, you'd have to say she's adorable after clicking this link. Sorry peeps, kitty is adorable, but she's very finicky and refuses to let me take photos of her, without moving. And I wasn't going to post a not-so-descent photo on here…
Santa still has until my birthday to get off of my "No Cookies For You!" list. Until then, he's staying on it and might only get hot chocolate next Christmas. Depending on my mood next year, he might get a couple marshmallows too…
Homemade Marshmallows Recipe
Although these Marshmallows may leave a small mess in your kitchen, they are quite easy to make and are perfect in hot chocolate, or between two Petit Écolier cookies. As a side note, if you only eat kosher or halal, fear not! This recipe can be made with kosher or halal unflavored gelatin. Get to marshmallow-in'! And enjoy!
Adapted From Gourmet, December 1998
Yields about 96 marshmallows
About 1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 1/2 envelopes (2 tablespoons plus 2 1/2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin*
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup hot water (about 115°F.)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites (or reconstituted powdered egg whites)
1 teaspoon vanilla (or the scrapings of a vanilla bean)**
*Can use kosher or halal unflavored gelatin
** Other extracts, such as almond or mint extracts can be used. In addition to flavor, you can also add food coloring.
Oil bottom and sides of a 13- by 9- by 2-inch rectangular metal baking pan and dust bottom and sides with some confectioners' sugar.
In bowl of a standing electric mixer or in a large bowl sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let stand to soften.
In a 3-quart heavy saucepan cook granulated sugar, corn syrup, hot water, and salt over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to moderate and boil mixture, without stirring, until a candy or digital thermometer registers 240°F., about 12 minutes. Remove pan from heat and pour sugar mixture over gelatin mixture, stirring until gelatin is dissolved.
With standing or a hand-held electric mixer beat mixture on high speed until white, thick, and nearly tripled in volume, about 6 minutes if using standing mixer or about 10 minutes if using hand-held mixer. In a large bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites (or reconstituted powdered whites) until they just hold stiff peaks. Beat whites and vanilla into sugar mixture until just combined. Pour mixture into baking pan and sift 1/4 cup confectioners― sugar evenly over top. Cool marshmallow at room temperature, uncovered, until firm, at least 3 hours, and up to 1 day. (kamran note: the original recipe states to chill the marshmallows, you can do what you find easier. I found it easier to leave out overnight.)
Run a thin knife around edges of pan and invert pan onto a large cutting board. Lifting up 1 corner of inverted pan, with fingers loosen marshmallow and let drop onto cutting board. Take a large knife, oil it, and dust it generously with powdered sugar; trim edges of marshmallow (kamran note: don't throw out those edges! Cut them into small pieces and put some of them into a nice cup of hot chocolate) and cut marshmallow into roughly 1-inch cubes. Sift remaining confectioners' sugar into a large bowl and add marshmallows in batches, tossing to evenly coat.
Marshmallows keep in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 1 week.

We are studying the use of immune therapies to treat various cancers, including gastrointestinal, breast, and lung cancers and melanoma. These therapies include vaccines based on dendritic cells developed in our laboratory as well as vaccines based on peptides, viral vectors, and DNA plasmids. Our group is also a national leader in the development and use of laboratory assays for demonstrating immunologic responses to cancer vaccines. Finally, we are developing immunotherapies based on adoptive transfer of tumor and viral antigen-specific T cells.
Our current clinical trials include phase I and II studies of immunotherapy for: patients with metastatic malignancies expressing CEA, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer, and leukemias following HSCT. My clinical area of expertise is in gastrointestinal oncology, in particular, the treatment of hepatic malignancies, and malignant melanoma.

Swimming for safety
Around 10 children aged 1-19 years old die from drowning every day in Vietnam – the equivalent of a plane crash every month. Drowning is the leading cause of death, even more children die from drowning than in road traffic accidents. Even though the figures are shocking, drowning is a "silent epidemic". It is unseen, the causes are sometimes misunderstood and a huge amount remains to be done to address this entirely preventable human tragedy. In Hue city and throughout the province flooding is extremely common, yet many adults and children are unable to swim. Without swimming being offered in schools and a lack of trained swimming coaches, many people in Hue never have the chance to learn to swim. By providing free swimming lessons for the most disadvantaged children – who are also those most likely to be living in precarious housing in flood prone areas – we can help limit the human cost of extreme weather conditions.
The majority of deaths by drowning occur in the rural areas. Our rural swimming programme focuses on a district of Thua Thien Hue province called Phu Loc. The abundance of open water (rivers, lakes, the lagoon and the sea) means that drowning prevention here is an absolute priority. We teach children to swim in local environments – rivers, lagoons, and in open sea – under safe supervision under STA UK Swimming standards.
How does it work?
In 2011 following a successful urban programme we brought our swimming programme to rural Vietnam to provide high quality swimming tuition where it was needed most. Hue Help and our partners have now taught over 3,000 children from rural areas surrounding Hue to swim. These children learn about the dangers of open water, water safety, survival skills, and how to rescue others in emergencies.
We have also trained local school teachers and tutors to ensure that they can continue teaching these skills to even more children.
For recent updates on our annual swimming programme visit our news page. Click on the bands below to find out what swimming courses we have run over the past few years.
We are working with the Department of Education and Training at the moment to finalise our plan for 2017. We are looking to expand SFS further!
In 2016 we partnered with NCA/NAV and the Swimming Teacher's Association (STA) to expand our model to a further five districts. We trained 101 teachers and 1,728 children.
In 2015, we continued our partnership with NCA / NAV from 2013, and expanding SFS in a further five districts. We trained 68 teachers and 2,394 children.
In 2014, we provided training for 33 teachers in Phu Loc, who went on to train 1,696 in their community.
Thanks to Laguna Lang Co, British Business Group Vietnam, and generous friends, family, and supporters for their support!
We collaborated with Nordic Assistance to Vietnam (NAV) to carry out a rural swimming programme in July and August. This project provided water safety, swimming and first aid skills to elementary aged school children who are vulnerable to drowning in Central Vietnam's most frequently flooded areas. In charge of technical aspects, Hue Help assisted with course organisation, risk assessments, and monitoring and evaluation.
With the assistance of the Swimming Teachers Association (STA), four courses were held initially to train 119 school teachers. These teachers and swimming tutors then taught 1,696 school children from 31 schools in rural areas near Hue. Participants learnt not only swimming skills but also water safety, survival and rescue skills.
We partnered with Thua Thien Hue Red Cross to implement this programme and were assisted by Phu Loc Education Affairs. This programme provided a swimming training course for Red Cross staff and swimming teachers. The Swimming Teacher's Association (STA) partnered with us to train up to thirty swimming teachers, who then worked with ten secondary schools at ten separate sites in the summers of 2011 and 2012. In total, these ten sites trained 2,400 children to swim.

Last Monday I was invited to the United Nations in Manhattan, for the premiere of Gaston Acurio and Ferran Adria's documentary: "Peru Sabe. Cuisine as an agent of social change," directed by Jesus Maria Santos. If you're interested enough in food to be reading a food blog, you probably know who Ferran Adria is. If you're interested enough in Peruvian food to be reading a Peruvian food blog, you also probably know who Gaston Acurio is.
But in case you don't, I will tell you briefly. Ferran Adria is none other than the world's most famous chef, owner of El Bulli, which has been awarded 3 Michelin stars, and named best restaurant in the world a record of 5 times. He has been named one of the 100 most influencial people in the world by Time Magazine. Gaston Acurio, on the other hand, may not be the world's most famous chef, but he is unquestionably Peru's most famous chef and personality. He has 31 restaurants in 12 countries, and was proclaimed "the most famous chef you've never heard of" in early 2011. By now, the last part of that phrase is not so true anymore.
Peru Sabe Film Preview from Ricardo Guzman Rivas on Vimeo.
As a Peruvian, a food blogger, and simply as a food lover, I was extremely excited to attend the premiere of their film, which is an effort to make Peruvian food better known to the world, not only for how wonderful, varied, and yet unexplored it is, but also for the powerful social revolution it has lead in the past few years in our country. As Acurio explained very well during the Q&A round, we grew up in a country one was taught didn't have much value, but this has recently started changing in a dramatic way, and guess what is behind it? None other than food, the most basic of our daily needs, and of our traditions.
The idea of the film is not only to praise Peru, but to set an example for other countries with dormant resources that could be utilized to improve an unlimited number of lives, and change people's attitude completely.
"As a social phenomenon, Peruvian cuisine is unique in the world, but could be an example for other countries," said Ferran Adria. "While traveling through different regions of Peru to make this film, I discovered the country's incredible biodiversity and the innovative potential of its cuisine. This is helping to create a new social reality."
The cocktail party was beautifully set in a river view tent, and there were several cebiche bars were I stood all night, making sure I didn't miss the next round of exquisite fresh fish and seafood coming my way. It was a wonderful, heart-warming evening.
You can watch the trailer of the movie above, or go to their website to learn more about this great project. It will also be broadcasted by Univision Networks in the US, and by Radio Television Espanola in Europe. So stay tuned!

Beacons have been generating buzz since 2013, when Apple first introduced iBeacon technology. And while it may have appeared for a time that this new way of connecting with customers might be slow to catch on, today it's catching fire. This year began with BI Intelligence reporting that beacons would be driving $44 billion in retail sales by 2016, up from $4 billion this year. Then last month came the big news that Apple and IBM have teamed up on a host of new apps incorporating analytics and iBeacons. And just last week, Ad Age reported on the impending reinvention of retail by digital technology, as the physical and digital worlds converge in stores.
Sounds like exactly the right time for a quick primer on beacon technology and what it's all about. After all, as the Future of Privacy Forum has pointed out, while there's been a lot of hype around beacons, they haven't necessarily been very well understood. This week, I'd like to offer some "beacon basics" that I hope will provide a fundamental understanding of the technology and its potential and help more companies of all sizes benefit from it. So without further ado, here's the where, what, who, how and why of beacons today.
Where: Or perhaps more accurately, where not
Retail is probably the most often cited example of an industry employing beacons, with heavy hitters like Macy's and Lord & Taylor deploying them in their stores. But retail represents just one of many kinds of businesses that can benefit from beacons.Starwood Hotels is running a pilot program to replace hotel room keys with beacons. Major League Baseball is using them to reach out to fans in stadiums to offer them seat upgrades. American Airlines is one of a growing number of airlines leveraging beacon technology to improve connections with customers in airports. Meanwhile, in the B2B arena, look for beacons to start turning up everywhere from trade show booths to corporate lobbies.
What: Location-based mobile customer communication
Apple explains iBeacon technology to consumers as the enabling technology for Apple devices to alert apps or websites (which the user has opted into) when someone approaches or leaves a location. In other words, retail or other venues that have beacons in place can detect where a customer is at any given moment. Then — and this is the key part, of course — the retailer or other business can push timely messages to that customer promoting products or providing other useful information. Say someone is walking past a retail store; if they've downloaded the retailer's mobile app, the company can use beacon messages to capture their attention as they go by, enticing them to enter. Once inside, beacons can be used to make personalized offers, speed checkout processes and pretty much anything else the retailer can dream up.
Who: Apple, Google and a growing list of manufacturers
As beacon manufacturer Kontakt has pointed out, Apple isn't the only game in town when it comes to beacon technology. And in point of fact, Apple doesn't actually make beacons; rather, it has developed the iBeacon standard around which beacons can be built. (Google has its own beacon standard, Eddystone.) There are a number of players in the beacon manufacturing space — not only Kontakt, but also BlueSense, Gelo, Estimote and others. Check out this list published earlier this year, and expect it to grow as more and more companies look to take advantage of opportunities in this space.
How: Shrinking hardware and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
Beacons began as devices about the circumference of a large apple; today they're mere stickers that can be placed on walls or objects. The smaller and less obtrusive they get, the easier they become to use. Beacons employ Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) wireless technology to pinpoint the location of customers in stores and other places and to deliver messages to their mobile devices. Specifically, a beacon emits a BLE signal that a retailer's or other company's app on a smartphone coming within range of that signal can pick up on. A big differentiator between beacons and RFID is that beacons are far more private because it gives users control of the apps that leverage the beacon. This also generally means that beacons are authenticated and with user permission, which can ultimately lead to tremendous experiences as a result.
Why: The power to revolutionize customer experiences
Writing in the Harvard Business Review, Chuck Martin called beacons "the missing piece in the whole mobile-shopping puzzle." Pointing to the ability to push messages to people without them having to do anything at all, he sees beacons as overcoming a "major hurdle" for companies that want to engage with customers in a more personalized way — because it makes that engagement completely effortless for the customer.
Is beacon technology in your company's future? Increasingly, the odds are that the answer will be yes.

Who have you been leaning on?
It distresses me when I hear people tell me how they "hate" using a cane and will try to avoid it at all costs. What people done realize is the actual "costs" associated with not using a cane or walking aid when needed. Canes and other walking aids give us freedom and independence.
Anyone who has had to rely on one should be able to tell you the benefits of using a cane that is the correct length a comfortable grip and used properly to help offset your weight to provide pain relief as well as the extra security of being balanced when we walk. When we use a family member as a support – or offer to let a family member use us as a support, we tend not to think of the long term injury that can be caused. Anytime we put additional weight on one side of our body, other muscles have to compensate causing strain and possible injury of them as well.
Common sense should tell us that it is OK to offer assistance to someone in need, however it your spouse is constantly using you instead of a cane, you may find that sore shoulders, arm, knee and back aches showing up over time as you must adjust your gait to accommodate the extra weight being constantly applied to one side.
The same is true for people who make the decision to use a cane that their Uncle, Mother, Friend had been using and it is either too long or short for you. Even if you are approximately the same height, because body type differs you need to make certain that the cane you are using is fitted correctly to you. Using a cane that is too long or short will put constant strain on muscles that will result in long-term problems with necks, shoulders, backs etc.
To use a cane the way it was meant to be used follows a few very basic rules.
Number One is that the cane is being used to improve your balance by bearing some of your weight on the injured side. Imagine a tri-pod, when using your cane you should be stepping out with your injured side and your cane at the same time thus allowing your weight distribution to be even helping your gait to be more natural. Click here to see how to walk with a cane.
Is it the correct length? Is the grip comfortable? And lastly, have you checked for wear & tear on the tip - checked to make sure there are no cracks or bowing that would interfe with the integrity of the cane.
Of course, It is always best to discuss your individual situation with a knowledgeable professional to determine the best way for you to walk with a cane.

And the Winner IS.............
Congratulates !!!
to the winner of the Fabulous Traveler's Hiker is Deb T, from Victoria, BC.
"My most memorable hike was a few years ago when my girlfriend was visiting from Edmonton. We went to Johnson Canyon. It was a wonderful warm winter day, a light snow was falling making it a winter wonderland. The waterfalls were frozen and we stood with snowflakes falling on us watching ice climbers. Following the path, we chatted with other hikers who were also enjoying the tranquillity of the forest. It was a wonderful day to share with a very close friend. The only thing that would have made this hike better would be a walking stick, as the paths were sometimes icy."
Thank you for the opportunity to enter,
Deb T.
And even better Deb shared a couple of picture of here memorable hike to Johnson Canyon with us. (below).
Congratulates once again Deb, and we know you'll enjoy hikig with your new Traveler's Hiking Stick!

What is your First Aid Kit Missing?
What is your First Aid Kit Missing?
Many things come to mind when stocking our home emergency medical kit, one item consistently fails to make it – A Cane or Walking Stick!
Most often when we think of using a walking cane or stick, we tend to think of it as an last resort aid that people are forced use on a permanent basis. This assumption has made us fail to even consider why this should be a staple part of your Kit!
Using a walking cane or stick for periods of time during the healing process of a sports injury be it muscle, tendon or breaks of the leg, knee, ankle, foot. Back injuries will also benefit from the extra support a cane or walking stick provides.
The extra support that you are providing the injured area will result in your being less likely to re-injure, provide additional pain relief and even shorten the overall healing process by.
Giving your body the added reinforcement it needs for weight bearing and balance during this time will help protect any vulnerable areas when needed most.
Of course this doesn't mean that everyone in the family should be fitted for a cane, a simple adjustable cane that can be readjusted in length for the person needing it for a short period of time can be just the ticket.
Worried about where to keep that cane? You can always look for a folding adjustable cane or walking stick that can easily pack away when not in use.
The folding adjustable cane or walking sticks also a fantastic item to toss into your suitcase when traveling. Often times when we are traveling, we are walking more as well as walking on different types of terrain that could affect our balance.
Carrying a folding adjustable cane or walking stick will provide the extra stability and support to compensate any fatigue we may be feeling.
And if not for you – how about for visiting family and friends? Whether visits are occasionally or frequently, offering your guests a little extra support and safety during their visit when needed will certainly make you the host with the most!
Of course when ever you use a walking cane or stick, it is important to make certain that it is sized correctly for you and that you are using it properly to avoid any cane related injuries.

Undue wear and tear on your wrist, elbow, shoulders and lower back can be avoided by walking with a cane correctly. Your best choice is to have your physician or physical therapist help fit your daily-use cane. If no professional help is available, these instructions will assist you in creating a comfortable fit.
The first thing to do is make certain that the cane you have chosen is the correct length for you.
It is always best if you have someone else do the measuring, your Doctor or Physiotherapist are always a good choice, but if not available, below is a general outline on how to measure for a cane.
- Find someone to help you measure yourself so they can ensure that you are standing correctly.
- Put on the shoes you most often wear stand on a hard surface.
- If you regularly wear shoes with different height heels, consider getting canes that can be sized to the different heights or looking for an adjustable cane.
- Stand upright in a relaxed stance.
- Choose the hand you will use. Normally it is the opposite of the injury but in some cases it is the same. Talk to your Dr. or physiotherapist to determine the correct side for your situation.
- Hang your arm loosely at your side. Your elbow should have a nice bend in it. Not straight nor overly bent. The final bend to your elbow when walking with the cane will be approx. 15 – 20 degrees if measured correctly.
From here you have two options.
First option: with your arm hanging loosely at your side (natural bend), you can measure from the floor to the crook of your wrist right below your thumb. (The wrinkle that separates your hand from your arm.)
Second option: place your elbow at the 15 – 20 degree bend and measure from the floor to the centre of the crook of your wrist. (15 degrees is 1/6 of the arc of your arm when it swings from vertical to horizontal
Either of the above methods should give you the same measurement.
Walking canes are generally sold at 36" with some as tall as 44". The majority of us will need to have our canes sized before we use them. If you are seeing a physiotherapist, they will be able to measure you. For a full set of instructions see our "Sizing Your Cane" above or in our FAQ on our home page. We have a chart below to give you a general idea of what size of cane an individual should walk with. Please note, everyone's body size is unique and they should be measured to determine the actual length needed.

What kind of Cane do I Need?
What is the best cane for Me?
Most first time buyers have little to no information about what kind of cane they should use or would like to hold. There are a multitude of cane handles to choose from that are meant for weight bearing while others are strictly for balance, fun or collecting. We hope the following information is helpful as you make your selection. Remember, you can always give us a call if you would rather talk to someone in person by calling our toll free line 1-866-217-8091 or emailing us firstname.lastname@example.com .
Cane Handle Styles
Hook/Crook/Tourist Handles
A Hook/Crook/Tourist handle is one of the first canes made. Many people love this cane handle because it is very convenient to hook onto arms, chair backs, door knobs etc. For others, the crook walking cane enables them to use it as a way to walk with an even gait. The rounded handle allows for a natural swing which helps the user to walk with a rhythmic pace. A crook handle is also one of the stronger canes as it is usually made from one piece of wood. The only challenge with this handle style is that there is nothing to stop your hand from slipping down the shaft should it start to slip. The Hook/Crook/Tourist handle can be used in either the right or left hand.
Derby, J-handle and Anatomical Handles
The most common cane handle sold is one with a Derby Handle. This handle, as in the majority of handles, are made to encourage the user to place their weight directly over the shaft. The derby, J-handle and the anatomically correct handle have a curve on the end which acts very similarly to the crook handle allowing them to hook onto arms, chair backs, door knobs and more. The derby and J-handles are made to use in either the right or left hand.
Fritz, Shovel and T-Handle
Fritz, Shovel and T- handle canes are all very similar in that they all have flatter handles. The Fritz handle was invented hundreds of years ago by a German prince for those suffering from Arthritis and felt that this type of handle was more comfortable. As you can see, the shovel and T-handle provides a similarly flat handle. These three styles are made to use in either the right or left hand with the Fritz being used so that the longer piece is pointing behind the user. Wrist straps can be added to these walking canes to provide the user the ability to hook their cane to their arm when shopping or at any time they need two hands.
Ergonomic Handle/Over Mold/Contour Palm
An Ergonomic handle is one that is built to fulfill two goals - health and productivity. We offer a variety of walking cane styles built to support your palm in this fashion. The rubber overmold grip provides superior comfort slowing down hand fatigue and is made for either hand. The contour and palm grip canes have similar design and are left or right hand specific but they are both unique from the other. The contour grip has a smaller grip which some people prefer better and it also directs the user's weight directly over the shaft. The palm grip or fisher handle offers a wider grip with a little lip to offer more form to the shape of the handle. A palm grip cane is created in a way that places the users' weight off center, so if you put a lot of weight on a cane a contour grip may offer more piece of mind. Because these handles help to distribute weight over a wider area on top of providing ergonomic support, this handle style is well received by many people as a way to relieve hand fatigue.
Opera Handle or L-Shaped
An L-shaped or Opera handle can be found in all styles of walking canes from natural to dressy. It is not as popular as a weight bearing cane like the Derby handle mainly because the user can't direct their weight over the shaft. Undue stress is placed on the joint of a two piece cane when the weight of a person is not directed properly over the shaft. Though, if it is a one piece cane, the L-shaped handle like the crook cane is strong. This style is made to use in either the right or left hand with the longer piece pointing behind the user. Wrist straps can be attached to the shaft to provide the ability to hook the cane to their arm when shopping or at any time they need two hands.
