Do not speak of a rhinoceros if there is no tree nearby. ~ African Zulu Proverb
It's been said that every baby needs a lap, but it might not be wise to hoist this little sweetheart in your arms – even though she is cute.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay welcomed a baby white rhinoceros into the World on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012. The new baby girl weighed a hefty 140 pounds at the time of her birth – but you haven't seen anything yet. The newborn, yet to be named, will gain about four pounds each day until she reaches an adult weight of 3,500 to 4,000 pounds.
Now that's a lot of rhino!
Check out the video of the new arrival. She is the most adorable creature on the planet.
Insider's tip: Busch Gardens' Serengeti Plain, where the new baby rhino was born, is not to be missed. Viewing the animals there is much like viewing them on the real Serengeti Plain. Rhinos flick at flies with their tails, roll in the sand and nap under the trees. Giraffes and zebras munch on grass, busily searching for the tastiest bits, and the air is fresh and glorious.
You can tour this grassy retreat on the Serengeti Railway or opt for a special Serengeti Safari Tour and explore it in a spacious open-air touring vehicle.

The sleepy seaside village of Vero Beach has a secret. This Florida beach town, known for its year-round cultural arts scene, is home to another hidden jewel, a place where summer romance sizzles to a Latin beat.
Far from the bright lights of Miami, the luxurious Costa d'Este Beach Resort is nestled halfway between West Palm Beach and Merritt Island. The resort boasts elegant one-bedroom suites, a signature bar known for its mojitos and an infinity-edge swimming pool that disappears into the nearby crashing waves.
While this may be the first time you've heard of the resort, I'm certain you'll be familiar with its famous owners. Vero Beach has long been known for attracting creative types and artists, so it's no wonder superstar recording artist Gloria Estefan chose this seaside village to develop her $50 million luxury boutique resort. The international singer and her husband, Grammy Award-winning producer Emilio Estefan, opened Costa d'Este in 2008 and transformed it into a world-class hotel, worthy of its AAA Four-Diamond distinction.
"We chose to develop a resort here because we wanted to invest in Vero Beach and think it's a quiet beach community and is the perfect distance for a weekend getaway from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Orlando," the singer, who owns a home in Vero Beach, told TCPalm.com.
The Estefans discovered Vero Beach about 11 years ago and immediately fell in love with the community and the people. "Once we began spending time in our home we came to appreciate the many natural attractions in the area," Estefan said to TCPalm.com.
Almost 150 miles south in Miami Beach, the couple owns an authentic Cuban restaurant, Larios on the Beach, as well as the sophisticated and art deco-themed Cardozo Hotel on Ocean Drive. Each of their properties, including Costa d'Este, exudes the famous duo's Latin flair and lavish taste.
"The Costa d'Este is one of my favorite places to visit," said Lou Guida, former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles and retired Senior Vice President of Merrill Lynch. Guida travels with his family to the resort several times a year.
What does he love most about Costa d'Este? The laid-back atmosphere, personal touches and high level of comfort the resort provides for his entire family, he said.
"The friendly staff anticipates every detail of your vacation," he said. "One of the features everybody appreciates is the perfectly brewed complimentary coffee offered every day."
The resort can accommodate large groups for special events, weddings or corporate meetings. Lou's son, Mark Guida, resides in Vero Beach and planned a family and friends get-together at Costa d'Este.
"We had around 30 people come to the reunion and they had a spectacular time," the younger Guida said. "We enjoyed ourselves so much that many of us extended our stay."
Not only is the resort great for families because of its cozy boutique feel, it's also known for its elegant destination weddings and romantic ambiance. The Queen of Latin Pop designed the resort for guests who desire the perfect combination of tropical days and steamy nights.
With all this in mind, my husband and I set off for a couple's getaway to Costa d'Este. As the Entertainment & Luxury Insider for VISIT FLORIDA, I have had the opportunity to stay in some of the best resorts the Sunshine State has to offer, so I was excited to check out this jewel on Florida's Treasure Coast.
I was immediately impressed with the architecture of the resort – modern and chic with eye-catching geometrical designs and original artwork. It was clear to me the Estefans spared no expense on quality and attention to detail.
The rooms have smooth marble flooring and custom-designed furnishings. The limestone bathrooms are spacious and decked out with one of my favorite luxury amenities – rain showerheads. I easily could have kicked back with a good book in bed all day, pampered by tons of large fluffy pillows and Egyptian-cotton bed linens.
Instead, we pulled up a stool at the poolside bar and enjoyed complementary welcome mojitos, an amenity offered to every resort guest. It's always a good idea to start a relaxing getaway with a cold concoction of lime, sugar, mint and rum, and we found it was easy to get lost in the spectacular ocean view from the pool deck, the center of the resort's activity.
Like the Guida family, I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff. Seven days a week, Manager Ed Riley makes his rounds throughout the resort. He introduces himself to every guest and will stop at nothing to ensure that each detail of your stay exceeds expectations.
"He adds that personal touch that makes you feel welcome and important," Guida said. "If you have a special request tell Ed and he will make it happen."
We asked Ed for dinner recommendations. He suggested The Wave Kitchen and Wine Bar and went out of his way to book our reservation, and hostess Robin Miller seated us at the best table in the house. It was picture-perfect. We sipped wine and listened to live music underneath the light of a full moon.
I'll be honest; I'm not always impressed with hotel food, but this was not your average hotel dining experience. Chef Antonio designed a seasonal menu featuring fresh ceviche, traditional American fare and, of course, Cuban cuisine. After a mouth-watering three-course meal, the chef brought out an incredible trio of desserts on a slab of marble. Every detail of the evening was magical.
Oh, and did I mention the view? Words cannot describe it, so you'll have to check it out for yourself.

U.S. armed forces will be honored at Fort Clinch in Fernandina Beach on Nov. 10 with "History of the American Soldier," a full day of activities, displays, period music and firing demonstrations.
It's called the Forgotten Coast, but the 90-mile stretch of northwest Florida's shoreline from St. Marks west to Cape San Blas once was so dramatically – if intermittently – illuminated that it was hard to miss.
Which, really, was the point insofar as this sporadic illumination radiated from four classic and, by now, clearly historic lighthouses. Their purpose, obviously, was to warn that shoals and other danger lurked nearby for timber ships, fishing boats, vessels carrying produce to or from port and other maritime interests in or approaching the upper Gulf of Mexico.
Now, in the age of global positioning systems and other navigational devices, the lighthouses serve primarily as tourist attractions, though some of these flashing beacons still aid boat captains. All four are available to visitors, though to varying degrees, and all are within easy drives of Tallahassee or Panama City.
With a bit of advanced planning and fueled by the fresh oysters, shrimp and fish readily available in the area, tourists can weave a pleasant and informative day or two out of a visit to the four stately structures.
And very many do just that. So, what makes lighthouses this compellingly magnetic?
"It's the romanticism connected to lighthouses, the isolation and all that it entails," said Lonnie Mann, 69, a retiree from Tallahassee who often visits the towers. "It's something people are looking for – maybe some solitude and peacefulness in their lives."
Listen to Tom Aleksandrowicz, 56, a New Jersey native who now lives in Brooksville and has visited lighthouses all along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts: "It's the maritime part of it. These people sailed the seas, and if it weren't for the lights, half of them wouldn't have made it. It's the mystique of it."
Yes, the mystique, the romanticism, the (now lost) isolation. Let's try to recover some of that by starting our "Forgotten Coast Lighthouse Tour" on the eastern edge of the region and working our way west.
Located in Wakulla County just 20 miles south of Tallahassee, the St. Marks Lighthouse is a good place to begin, even though only the site of the lighthouse (rather than the increasingly creaky structure itself) is open most days to visitors.
Eighty feet of brilliant whiteness built in 1842, the lighthouse is attached to the keeper's house, both maintaining watch over the nearby harbor entrance. At night, the light still flashes every four seconds.
Like all lighthouses sited along this stretch of the Gulf Coast, the St. Marks tower has been – and continues to be – a frequent target of hurricanes. As a consequence, the tower boasts walls four feet thick at the base, tapering to 18 inches at the top. The keeper's house, constructed in 1871, is similarly fortified against nature.
These days, the site is jointly operated by the U.S. Coast Guard and the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, though the Coast Guard is in the process of handing it over to the refuge.
If you go: The St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge is open daily during daylight hours. The lighthouse is located at the Gulf-end of County Road 59 (Lighthouse Road), with the visitor parking lot at 1255 Lighthouse Rd. From Tallahassee, head south on Monroe Street and veer left on Woodville Highway (S.R. 363). Make a left on U.S. 98 and a right on C.R. 59. Learn more at stmarksrefuge.org/lighthouse.cfm.
This blink-and-you'll-miss-it lighthouse really does seem to belong in a region known as the Forgotten Coast.
Located a bit inland, on the northern side of U.S. 98 about three miles west of the fishing village of Carrabelle, the red and white, iron and steel Crooked River Lighthouse has stood on this spot since 1895. Its purpose: to help vessels navigate the dangerous pass between St. George and Dog islands.
Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places but decommissioned by the U.S. Coast Guard in 1995, the 103-foot tower was deeded to Carrabelle, thanks to the devoted efforts of a group that became known as the Carrabelle Lighthouse Association.
If you go: Happily, the lighthouse – and 138 steps of it – can be climbed Saturday and Sunday from 1 – 4 p.m., weather permitting. The cost is $5 per person and climbers must be at least 44 inches tall. "Full Moon Tower Tours" are offered for $10 per person on nights of the full moon, weather permitting. The Keeper's House Museum and Gift Shop, a replica of the original keeper's house, is open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Phone: 850-697-2732.
From Tallahassee, head south on Monroe Street veering right on Crawfordville Highway (U.S. 319). Continue south and west on U.S. 98 through Carrabelle to Crooked River Lighthouse Park, about three miles west of downtown Carrabelle. (Proceed slowly and look for the lighthouse tucked into the northern side of the road.) More information can be found at crookedriverlighthouse.org.
Continuing westward for a mere 20 miles, we encounter not just another stately lighthouse, but also a terrific story about a community that would not let the light perish.
The Cape St. George Light managed to survive hurricane after hurricane, natural abuse after natural abuse, from the moment it was completed on Little St. George Island in 1852 until Oct. 21, 2005. On that solemn Friday, the fine old lighthouse finally gave way to 153 years of erosion and high surf, crumbling into the Gulf of Mexico.
But the residents of the nearby fishing town of Apalachicola and other parts of Franklin County – devotees who struggled for years to shore up their lighthouse – were not ready to surrender. They salvaged and cleaned the old bricks and arranged for the 74-foot-tall, 92-step lighthouse to be rebuilt on the larger, more populated St. George Island, where it re-opened in 2008 and now stands proudly – easily accessible and ready for your visit.
If you go: Continue west on U.S. 98 to the truly tiny town of Eastpoint. Follow the signs to St. George Island, turning south on State Road 300, which becomes a causeway. The Cape St. George Light and an accompanying museum and gift shop are located at 2 East Gulf Beach Dr., smack in front of you as the causeway from the mainland dead ends 100 yards or so from the Gulf.
From March 1 through Oct. 31, the lighthouse is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Closed Thursday. Hours are abbreviated during the winter season, from Nov. 1 through Feb. 28.
Fees for climbing the lighthouse are $5 for adults, $3 for children under 16, and no charge for children under age 6 and U.S. military personnel with ID. Climber must be at least 40 inches tall.
Full moon climbs also are available here for $15 (including light snacks) or $10 per person. Reservations are suggested. Call for dates and other details: 850-927-7744 or toll free at 888-927-7744. Visit the website at stgeorgelight.org.
A sadder fate, at least for now, has been visited upon the Cape San Blas Lighthouse, located about 30 miles farther west.
It and its predecessors near the town of Port St. Joe also struggled for well more than a century against the ravages of nature. Frequently rebuilt and relocated, the lighthouse and two accompanying buildings eventually came under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Air Force, which controls much of Cape San Blas and uses a facility there to track flights from nearby Air Force bases.
Alas, in October 2012, the Air Force ordered the 101-foot-tall, 131-step lighthouse – the source of much local pride in Gulf County and a popular magnet of tourists – closed with just 10 days notice.
"It's sad to see everything go," said Beverly Mount-Douds, the longtime Cape San Blas "Lighthouse Lady," who pretty much ran the place. "Kids today, they're not going to know anything about lighthouses or fire towers or drawbridges. We should be sharing the history of these places with our children. That's what it's all about."
She and her colleagues in some local groups are trying to raise money to acquire the tower and its buildings and move them to a safer location.
Meanwhile, you can still see the top of the tower from Cape San Blas Road (details just below) and inventive visitors who don't mind walking a mile or so along the beach can get pretty close to what, for the moment, is a phantom lighthouse. In addition, the gift shop has been moved to the Old Maddox House in Port St. Joe, right along the coast at 105 Captain Fred's Place.
In other words, it's not over yet.
"We're going to keep fighting," Mount-Douds said, looking a recent visitor directly in the eye. "I'm the Lighthouse Lady – and I will continue being it."
If you go: From either the east or west, take U.S. 98 and turn toward the Gulf on County Road 30A, which hugs the coast as you approach Cape San Blas. Turn onto Cape San Blas Road and follow it toward the lighthouse. As you approach the bend, you can spot the tower soaring above the tree line. Learn more at capesanblaslight.org and lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=591.

Have you been suffering from boredom? Are you bogged down by ordinary life? Would you die to snag a little excitement?
If the answer to any of the above questions is 'yes,' I've know of an event with your fang marks written all over it.
The Zombie 5 K features wooded trails, murky swamps and adrenaline-spiking obstacles, all of which you navigate while being chased by flesh-starved Zombies. You can embark on this adventure at Little Everglades Ranch (17951 Hamilton Rd., Dade City, Fla., 33523) Dec. 22, 2012.
Be Zombie Bait
Being bait means being a runner. You'll start with three flags, each representing a "life." Cross the finish line with at least one flag intact to secure bragging rights among all of your buddies.
Be a Zombie
If you prefer to hunt instead of being hunted, become a member of the Zombie Horde. You'll adorn yourself in flesh-eating fashion – compliments of the event's expert make-up team or by using your own devices – and stalk runners in one-hour shifts. You'll be eligible to run the course once you've fulfilled your deadly duty.
Have Fun
All registrants receive T-shirts with optional blood spatters, finisher's medal and entry to the post-race Apocalypse party, a celebration complete with live music, food and free beer.
Good News
It turns out even zombies have a heart. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Moffitt Foundation of Tampa Bay and the Shriners Hospital for Children.
Sounds like a killer event to me!

Boca Raton. A gilded stretch of southeast Florida's Gold Coast. World-class restaurants and shops. Millionaires in their luxury-mobiles. Yachts that could have their own zip codes.
Yet hidden away on an isolated stretch of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway is a spot that is still primeval Boca Raton. It's Boca the way it was before anyone moved here – preserved in its original natural state.
The Gumbo Limbo Nature Center is an outstanding research, educational and just-plain-fun place. Here, in a sub-tropical paradise encompassing an incredible variety of ecosystems and plant and animal life, the land still looks as it did a million years ago.
On the half-mile boardwalk winding through a forest, you'll quickly come to the reason for the Center's name. The forest is filled with gumbo limbo trees, distinguished by their flaky red bark. This tree is native to South Florida (the Center wages a vigorous campaign to keep non-native vegetation out), and it has a wonderful propensity, when branches fall off, to fertilize the area around it – thus supplying more gumbo limbos for the future.
Believe it or not, you've probably sat on some gumbo limbo trees; historically, they've been used for carousel horses.
This forest, though, has much more than just gumbo limbos. It's filled with wildlife, including skinks (a type of lizard), gray foxes, squirrels, crab spiders, raccoons, red-bellied woodpeckers and other birds. There are hammock trees and paradise trees and salt-water-tolerant red mangroves, which the Native Americans called "Walking Trees." (When you see them, you'll know why.) There are ficus trees, called "Strangler Palms," because their voracious root systems have a tendency to strangle any other tree unfortunate enough to be alongside them. And, if you look closely, you'll see many crab burrows in the ground.
In you're wandering through the forest, keep a sharp lookout for grayish soil where the trees seem cleared away. These are ancient Indian "middens" – basically trash piles dating back as much as 10,000 years, and filled with fossilized sea turtle bones, oysters and conchs.
There's an aquarium here, too, including guppies, sharks, seahorses (the males have the babies), sergeant majors, chained pipefish, parrotfish, barracudas and blowfish, and all manner of shelled creatures, among them, of course, lobsters, which can live for 200 years.
A research center staffed by students from nearby Florida Atlantic University concentrates on studies of South Florida's cherished – and endangered – sea turtles.
There's also a butterfly garden where you can see 15-20 brilliantly colored species, and outdoor tanks with reefs and reef life. You can get a bird's-eye view of the grounds – as well as the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other – by climbing to the top of the 40-foot observation deck.
"The Nature Center was started by a high school marine science teacher named Gordon Gilbert in the early 70s," said Dr. Kirt Rusenko, Marine Conservationist at the Center. "Where others saw just empty scrubland here, he had a vision of a thriving nature center that would bring the community together. Now, we have 120,000 visitors a year. And Gordon Gilbert still sits on the board of directors."
The sea turtles are the stars of the show here. There's a conservation and research program, and a hospital for turtles that have been ravaged by disease, or mangled by fishing lines or, more commonly, sharks. It's poignant to come in close contact – as you will – with the patients here, many of whom are missing a limb or part of their shells.
These giant turtles – Loggerheads, Leatherbacks and Greens – have been coming ashore here for ages to lay their eggs, from March through October. As far back as 1977, the City of Boca Raton enacted a lighting ordinance to protect the turtles, which can become disoriented by city lights, causing them to wander off the beach and into harm's way. Five miles of beach across the street from Gumbo Limbo are protected nesting grounds.
In the FAU Research Center here, college students conduct ocean and climate studies and keep careful logs of growth and migration patterns in a facility with hundreds of newly hatched sea turtles. It's important because mother turtles don't have a bonding connection with their young. Once the hatchlings are out, the mother's gone. And that may help explain – along with predators such as foxes or sharks – why only one of every 10,000 hatchlings makes it to adulthood.
Gumbo Limbo Nature Center stages "Turtle Walks" three times weekly, during which you can see nesting loggerheads. In 2012, some 994 Loggerheads, 116 Greens and 35 Leatherbacks had been hatched by the end of the season in late-October. The few that make it to adulthood may live as long as 100 years. Gumbo Limbo can track them, too, by attaching satellite tags fueled by solar cells.
Interestingly, the sex of a hatchling is determined by the temperature of the sand, not genetics; the higher the temperature, the higher the percentage of females. It doesn't take a scientist to realize, with global warming escalating, this can have dire consequences for the survival of this species.
As long as there's a Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, though, the sea turtles – and a wide variety of other sea life – will have an ally in their corner. And you'll have a great place to visit.

Japan's Crown Prince Naruhito and his wife Princess Masako are seen visiting Emperor Akihito in Tokyo's University Hospital.
The 78-year-old royal is recovering well after heart bypass surgery on February 17.
His wife Empress Michiko has also been paying regular visits to check on his progress.
Meanwhile, people have flocked to the Imperial Palace to write messages of support to the highly respected emperor.
After this five-hour operation, his surgeon Minoru Ono told journalists it had gone "smoothly as planned".
"We confirmed a sufficient blood flow back in the arteries."
However, another doctor warned the success of the operation could only be "measured by whether the emperor can regain the normal lifestyle he had wished for".

Panorpa taiwanensis Issiki, 1929b
Diagnosis: This is one of the Taiwanese species of Panorpa in which males have narrow hypovalves with deep medial cleft. The ventral parameres are unbranched, but with a short process near the setiferous apex. Dorsal lobes of aedeagus apically bilobed and rounded. Meso-and metanota with broad, pale, medial stripe.
Distribution – Geographical: Originally described from Mt. Rantaisan, 3-5 June 1927, S. Issiki, 3♂♂ (depository ?); Mt. Arisan ( = Alishan), 30 August, J. Sonan and K. Shibata, 2♂♂ (depository ?). An additional ♀ from Mt. Rantaisan, collected on 3 June 1927 by S. Issiki and deposited in NTU was designated allotype by Issiki and Cheng (1947). Yie (1951) recorded this species from Bōkyōzan, 2300 m, August; and Arisan (= Alishan), 2200 m, September.
Distribution – Temporal: This species has been collected in June, August, and September.
Ecology: The Alishan locality is high, cool, moist, montane forest.
Biology: Yie (1951) indicates that there are 27.7 eggs per egg cluster..
Notes: This species is named for the island of Taiwan. Apparently no lectotype has ever been designated from the type series.

Cuppow: Canning Jar Into a Travel Mug
At first glance, I thought, 'Oh, come on, a canning jar travel mug?' but after reading the product description, my 'Oh, come on!' turned into 'Yeah, right on!' Here's why:
We're all trying to cut down on our consumption of wasteful products like disposable cups, and how often do we hear that the materials used to make portable mugs and water bottles are toxic? Enter the Cuppow.
• As noted on the Cuppow website, Ball jars or mason jars make great eco-friendly drinking glasses since they are made of heat resistant glass, easy to clean, and won't leak when properly sealed.
• The Cuppow lid is BPA free and 100% recyclable.
• Both the lid and canning jars are dishwashwer safe, so you don't have to worry about what bacteria may lurk in the dark corners of your travel mug.
• Very reasonably priced (US $7.99).
• A chance to officially make the leap and become "the quirky co-worker." That's right, just show up to your next big meeting toting a mason jar of herbal tea topped off with this bad boy.
• The only real con I can think of has nothing to do with the lid, but with the use of a mason jar and the fact that it's glass. This could limit usability. I think this idea would be great for use at the office or around the house, garden, or in the car, but I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying this on a crowded train. I also wouldn't feel comfortable using this as a sports bottle, but the idea makes me laugh.
• Comfort level holding hot drinks, which I suppose would depend on how hot you take your drinks. Another solution to this issue could be using a mason jar with a handle, which are widely available.

Another con: by the time I get the mug to the car in winter it would be iced coffee. I wouldn't mind a little woolen cozy around it...felted perhaps? Now that'd be stylin'.
Also, mason jars can screw onto many blenders. (The kind where the pitcher part comes off for cleaning.) So, make your morning smoothie in a mason jar on the blender, and then toss this on top.
Super cute! In college I would use mason jars to bring my coffee to class (with normal lids). It was super convenient, since I could just throw it in my backpack and bike over without having to worry about spilling hot coffee on myself at every bump in the road. Veslabeachgirl is right though, cozies are a necessity, the glass would get really hot to the touch if you pour in a hot liquid.
I have used mason jars for my coffee too! I found that the glass gets to hot for my fingers but it could be fixed with a cozy.
Mason jars are made of heavy duty glass (not Pyrex, but think that tough), a paper or foam cup will spew hot beverage all over people on a train when dropped WAY easier than a mason jar. In the unfortunate 'I dropped it at the wrong angle on concrete' incident, the glass will break into thick chunks, not delicate water glass slivers, much easier & safer to clean up.
Oh, and you coffee will get colder quicker in a paper cup, about the same rate in foam cup, and you can't reheat an aluminum cup!
Call me old fashioned, but I like my ceramic travel mug. But this is a cool idea for people who already have everything else lying around.
I love this. I use canning jars all the time and would love to not have my tea spill all over me while driving. What makes me love it even more is the website video. Hilarious!
Mason jars already make up a significant portion of our functionally-eclectic-by-accident collection of glassware. I like this.
Maybe someone could make the rubberized sleeve for them... like the glass baby bottles and travel bottles that recently came out.
The big one looks really awkward to use -- tall canning jars are just not shaped and sized to be easily picked up with one hand. I'd consider the smaller one if I had something to insulate it.
I already use a jar with a handle, and when I want to drink my coffee, I just take the lid off. I like this idea! I wouldn't have to fiddle with the lid.
@Lupinelle that rules.
I love this idea and it would be super easy to crochet or sew a felted wool cozy to protect your hand and keep the liquid hot.
However, I just found out they won't accept money from paypal accounts outside of the US (I am in Canada) and there is no way to contact them on the website.
I want to give you my money, guys, so seriously: WTF!
@platypusymphony: You can contact them via this email address: firstname.lastname@example.com. I think they are JUST getting started so I'm sure they will find a way to work with you. :)
@ Anna Lisa, these lids are for wide-mouth jars. Only narrow mouth jars fit on blenders as far as I know. It would be cool if they made one of these lids to fit regular mouth jars!
I just knitted up a little cozy with a hand-warmer pocket knitted into the top- it was a great way to use the remnants of a ball of yarn. And I have several mason jars left over from Christmas. Great idea!
Thanks everyone for the great feedback on our product! We are currently working with a few stockists to make Cuppow available internationally, but are trying to keep logistics manageable for the time being by limiting sales to the US. Please stay tuned to @cuppow on twitter or catch us on facebook to get the latest on retailers on your area or announcements concerning Cuppow! As we get better at distribution we will be able to get more of these out to more people. The response has been amazing and we are very excited about it.
Joshua and Aaron
well, i still prefer something with a cover (spill proof)... so that easy to move around with it..
Hey Cuppow! I actually live in Somerville, near Union Square as it turns out. Could I come buy a couple of these without having to pay shipping? Are you going to sell them at Bloc 11?
Sandrayyp--looks like you can put the drink lid on upside down, and put a flat canning jar top over that for spill proof transport
It sounds like AT is dissing travel mugs to promote a product. I would be interested to see a source (a credible one) that says stainless steel interiors are toxic. Also, the BPA free claim is greenwashing. There are other biphenols that are even worse in most plastics. Other problem: most plastics can only be downcycled, not recycled.
this is just reinventing the wheel.
@Erica - I just dropped a few off over at Grand in Union Square.
Here is the advanced Cuppow technique that we have been using without fail: You put the metal lid (that comes with the jar) under the Cuppow, and then tighten the metal band over both. That way you can just throw it in your bag without spilling, and take the cap off when you get to your destination. I do this almost every day!
Re: recyclability, there's no reason to discard it any time soon, is there? Unless you break it. I can't tell if it's easily squashable or not.
@Lepidoptery you're right, I can't tell either. I worry less about how long it will last than I do a company making misleading claims. Even Apartment Therapy reported on the fact that 99 or so percent of companies are wrong or outright lying on green claims, and the FTC does not do a good job keeping up with fines for violations.
lupinelle, your comment is hilarious and your husband is too funny - I am married to a caffeinne addict myself - so I get the need for large quantities of coffee, and tomato sauce jars are perfect for that. duh
Great idea but the shipping charge is too expensive. I live in Massachusetts.
How is it possible that it doesn't leak?
I really think these are the best idea ever, but cosies are key!
I think I love Lupinelle's husband.
Just like a baby bottle nipple for grown ups!
It's a sippy cup. :p
Rather, it's just the same as the to-go coffee cups you'd get in any cafe.
I love this! I carry my coffee in a mason jar already. I have also used them to bring soup to work because you can just take the lid off and heat in the microwave. I will definitely get this!
this is love... what a great idea -- and all the reader posts too!
Thanks Aaron!

Did You Know?
In the Revolutionary War, some women, known as camp followers, went with their husbands to the battlefields to tend to such chores as cooking, mending, laundry, and nursing the sick and wounded. Sometimes unmarried women performed these duties for a small wage and half rations.

As mentioned on That's Hockey on Wednesday...
Halifax Mooseheads centre Nathan MacKinnon and Portland Winterhawks defenceman Seth Jones have been battling it out for the top spot in the 2013 NHL Draft so far this season, but there's another great young talent to watch out for as well from the Finnish Elite League.
Aleksander Barkov is tearing it up overseas and deserves to be in the conversation regarding the No. 1 spot for the rest of the season. That's how good he is.
He just turned 17 on Sept. 2 - just a day after MacKinnon turned 17. But Barkov played in the Finnish Elite League last season as a 16-year-old and he was a very good player.
This year, he's being asked to lead that team. Tappara is a middle of the pack team in SM-liiga, but you are looking at a big player who is equally adept playing a physical game or a skill game. He's also equally adept in his ability to score and set up plays.
But what really impresses me about Aleksander Barkov is his ability to do things quickly and take advantage of things that are given to him. There's no reason for me not to believe that his name could potentially be the first one called out in June.
Over on this side of the pond, there's been a lot of hype over Connor McDavid, who was given exceptional playing status in the OHL with the Erie Otters and is still two-and-a-half years from being eligible for the NHL draft.
And why was he given exceptional status? Because he IS exceptional.
Connor McDavid is already transforming the Erie Otters franchise with his presence and his ability to do so many things. You talk about mind speed and the ability to make those around him better - that's what Connor McDavid does.
He is a franchise-defining superstar. If there's a 15-year-old out there that's as good as Connor McDavid right now and going into that 2015 NHL Draft, we're going have a situation that I've only seen one other time - back in 1971. That's when Guy Lafleur and Marcel Dionne went first and second overall.
McDavid will only get better as time goes on and he is everything as advertised.

So, have you heard of this little book called The Hunger Games?
Of course you have! Who hasn't?
Sometimes finding just what you're looking for at the library is like searching for a needle in a haystack. A catalog search can sometimes return 100's of records. Recently, I was searching for books related to the theme of "adventure" to use during storytime. Below are the steps I took. Following these steps may help you find what you're looking for!
What should I read next? – When your favorite authors can't write fast enough or heaven forbid, they die, you're set adrift in an ocean of books with no compass to guide you. Don't despair! Mid-Continent has great tools on our website to navigate you safely to your next favorite author.
Traveling can be a lot of fun. It gives you a chance to visit places you may have only been able to read about, or visit distant relatives. However, it also involves a lot of planning and preparation. That is why the library has a number of valuable resources that you can put to good use to get the most out of your trip.
Our Online Catalog
I wish I had a nickel for every person that walked into the library and said, "Where's the old card catalog?" If they only realized how wonderful the online catalog is, they would be turning cartwheels!
I started thinking about the card catalog when I was painting my old, outdated, card catalog file cabinet. (I bought it from MCPL back in 1998). You have to admit, they do have a charming, vintage look about them. (Especially when painted ocean blue with little labels for each drawer!)
Have you ever looked for a book by typing your search terms into the catalog and hitting enter hoping that you will find what you are looking for on the first try? Have you ever wondered why your list of results sometimes contains titles that seemingly have nothing to do with what you are searching for?
Your list of titles might be the result of what search was selected before you hit the enter button. I'm talking about the Keyword and Browse feature. Do you know what the difference is between the two?
Hello again from DW. All of you know I am an advocate of the use of the audiobooks in the MCPL System. I have, however, not been able to convince certain members of my immediate family of their value. That is until recently.
This fall my son was forced to drive back to his college in Tennessee by himself. It is a twelve hour drive with no one to talk to and little to occupy your mind, but thoughts of how long you have been on the road and how long you still have to drive.
MCPL offer so many wonderful services and databases. But sometimes, I think we forget that some customers may not no know about one of most valuable resources. That is our online catalog. With your card number and password (your birthdate), you are able to place holds on the items your interested in.

I have gone through that court testimony doc at embeddedgurus.com. It is not only interesting, but can be considered as a lesson if you are in the business of designing safety critical hardware/firmware.
The following is an excerpt from that pdf. It is an answer given by Mr. Barr when asked about how they had access to the toyota source code.
"That experts see source code is not unusual, but the protections around this source code are certainly unusual in my experience. The source code review involves looking at electronic documents on computers. There is basically a room the size of a small hotel room that is disconnected from the Internet, no cell phones allowed inside or would work inside. In that room there is about five computers and some cubicles. In there, it is possible to believe view on the computer screen Toyota's source code. We couldn't take any paper in, take any paper out, couldn't wear belts, watches. There was a guard. It was worse than airport security was on the way here. Each time in and out, even to go to the bathroom."

A group of Copperas Cove residents has now formed a committee to petition and repeal a new animal control ordinance put in place by the city to try to combat the town's feral cat problem.
The ordinance this committee is fighting has made it illegal for residents to both trap and feed stray cats within the city limits.
Kathy Kwieran runs an animal shelter clinic specifically targeted for stray and feral cats, and she's also one of the leaders of the group fighting to reverse the new law.
"They just basically don't want feral cats in the city," Kwieran said. "But they're going to be there. People dump them. People leave them behind. They turn feral. Those are usually not fixed spayed or neutered so they're going to be pregnant and giving birth and then we've got wild kittens growing up and very feral."
The group first has to formally meet with the city to discuss the issue before they will be able to officially file a petition.
Kwieran argues that while the city may be trying to fix the feral cat problem with its new law, the ordinance could potentially do the opposite in the long run.
"You know doing nothing or allowing the cats to starve is not a solution, and it's not going to get rid of the problem," Kwieran said. "If they allow trap, neuter and return, there's going to be more and more people stepping up and doing it, but right now they're discouraging people from helping with the situation so it's only going to grow. It's only going to get worse and out of hand."
After the petition process begins, the committee will have 45 days to get 206 signatures from registered voters. If enough signatures are received, the city council will then be forced to reconsider the ordinance.
If the city council doesn't repeal that ordinance, there will then be a public election held on the issue sometime next year.
The city of Copperas Cove was unavailable for comment on the issue.

Labor of Love
The Changing Face of Hawaii's Unions
(page 1 of 2)
Clark "Skip" Morgan, CEO of Alakai Mechanical,
Clark "Skip" Morgan, the CEO of Alakai Mechanical, was sitting at his desk not long ago, casually discussing his company's growth, when, without a trace of irony, he said something astonishing: "A big part of our success, of course, is the union."
To anyone familiar with the tumultuous history of labor relations in Hawaii — a history studded with characters like Jack Hall, Walter Kupau, and Art and Tony Rutledge, men whose names still rankle many in the business community — Morgan's off-hand remark is a clear indication of the changing relationship between unions and island employers. The unions, themselves, are largely responsible for the change. As island businesses (and island jobs) have become more and more vulnerable to the competition created by new technologies and globalization, unions — particularly trade unions — have shouldered much of the responsibility for keeping up.
A big part is training. To keep up with changing technology, unions have increasingly focused on educating their members. Even a field like sheet metal work, which not too long ago was decidedly low-tech, is now dominated by computers and complex machinery. The success of companies like Alakai Mechanical depends on having an educated work force. "These guys, they may be walking around in dirty T-shirts and jeans, but they really know what they're doing," Morgan says. "And that's because the union training here is outstanding."
Education is clearly a major focus for Art Tolentino, president of the Sheet Metal Workers Union Local 293, which supplies most of the skilled labor for Alakai. For sheet metal apprentices, a five-year member training program, run through Honolulu Community College, covers everything from union history to safety to computer skills. Under Tolentino, the union has invested heavily in the kind of advanced equipment that the sheet metal worker is likely to see on the job: the big plasma cutters, fabrication machines and computer software, which have largely replaced tin shears and the drafting board. "What we studied 20 years ago cannot sustain us," Tolentino says. "People like Skip [Morgan] at Alakai are big on getting the newest tools that will save labor. Our job is to train our members."
Education is just one example of the unions' growing level of partnership with management. "As far as business is concerned," Tolentino notes, "we realize that we're in business together, that there's a common goal."
Morgan echoes that sentiment. "I remember the 'good old days,' when it got kinda rough," he says. "But the relationship is much more sophisticated today. Now, everybody realizes we're in the same boat."
Kalani Mahoe, district representative of the Operating Engineers Local Union 3, puts it another way. "You can have a company without a union, but you can't have a union without a company," he says.
Like Tolentino, Mahoe is committed to education, and he points out that Local 3 runs a 116-acre training facility in Kahuku. "I've got just under $11 million in equipment: cranes, loaders, dozers, skids, scrapers, trucks — you name them, I've got them all," he says. Also like Tolentino, Mahoe sees training as the union's role in a growing partnership with management. It's an ethic enshrined right in the union's mission statement, which begins:
"Local 3 is committed to providing our employers and agencies with the highest skilled union members..."
"Ten years ago," Mahoe says, "the union thought all they were supposed to do was fight — let the employers take care of their profits. But we have a lot of competition now from non-union contractors and I think labor and management need to work much more closely. The relationship needs to develop so it's like a marriage."

Talkin' robot-speak blues
These days my voice sounds like a mix between Forrest Gump and a robot. If I'm not careful my voice will remain like this permanently.
This is the result of having taught English as a foreign language for six months now. Speaking like a normal person will invariably confuse the students, so for them I've learned to SLOOOOOW it down. But with my return to the States looming and a possible venture back into journalism, I'm worried I won't be able to undo it.
It's gotten to a point where even my thinking voice speaks like this — which, for the sake of example, sounds like something like this:
"Thee fo-toe-graph sits on top of thee man-tool."
Translation: The photograph sits on top of the mantle.
I worry also that when I return and see an Asian face, I'll revert to this voice, in an Alzheimer's-esque fit, thinking I'm back in Korea.
The "Asian face" will inevitably find this patronizing, and I could find myself going the way of Alexandra Wallace.

The future of healthcare could have looked a little different today.
Tucson News Now spoke with local hospitals who were watching the elections closely yesterday. Area hospitals have been readying themselves for President Obama's healthcare reform, the affordable care act, also known as Obamacare.
This new act requires individuals and businesses to purchase health care insurance for themselves or their employees.
Some local hospitals have started getting ready to make these changes and rolling back on this could have been difficult for them. The hospitals were not sure what changes were to come if Governor Mitt Romney was elected.
Governor Romney had promised to repeal the act and replace it with something that would loosen the government's involvement in health care.
Now Obamacare is to remain in effect.

Great Shoe
"Since I didn't get these shoes in time to wear with an outfit for a special occasion, I had every intention to return them as soon as they came. They were so cute, I had to try them on. First of all they are darling. Secondly, they have the softest leather sides and they bend nicely to give ease of walking. They don't have a great cushion, but with a simple insert and they were instantly super comfy. I love them so much, I'm buying another pair!"

Cute but way narrower than other restricted shoes
"I am a big fan of Restricted footwear because they're adorable and normally fit me very well. My feet are slightly wide at the ball of the foot. These were adorable style wise but ran very narrow and were uncomfortable for me. Unfortunately I had to return them. They might work well on a narrow foot though."

You pick the animal, they do the painting!
Our Wildlife Care & Conservation staff work to enrich the lives of the animals in their care every day by making sure they have access to interesting and complex activities in their daily routine. Enrichment activities are fun for both animals and keepers!
We have found many of our animals enjoy painting with canvases, non-toxic paints and a little help from their keepers to create their very own masterpieces. Each painting is unique and each artist has his or her very different and unique techniques.
Due to high demand, paintings can take 7-10 days to create. All paintings come un-framed on canvas with your chosen animal's bio and picture.
View our list of available animal artists.

Or you can email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with orders or any questions you may have! All proceeds from Art Gone Wild go towards the care and feeding of the 800+ animals that call the Zoo home.
Seasonal Animal Art: Throughout the year, we will have a selection of previously created artwork by various animals including birds, primates, big cats, reptiles, and other small mammals. Because some of these animals do artwork on a very limited basis and only at certain times of the year, we cannot guarantee selection and sizes.

Octomom Nadya Suleman's house has reportedly been threatened with foreclosure. Now an adult-entertainment company has come forward and offered to pay her debt -- if she, er, "performs." Personally, I think she should do it!
Halloween Is a Pedophile's Dream
Forget Halloween being for kids -- Halloween is for pedophiles who enjoy seeing our little girls half naked and dressed like whores.
In L.A., the Jobless Get Swine Flu Vaccine First
Why is it that I, someone who has a job and health insurance, can't get the swine flu vaccine for my child or myself, while millions of jobless losers can?
You Let Him Eat What? Out of Where?
Last night, I did something so bad, so gross, so completely momspicable that I have to share.
Playing "Doctor" Is Not OK
After I found out my son was playing "doctor" with his cousin, I turned to a real doctor to find out if this game is OK ... and to be honest, I was surprised by what she said.
The Doctor Is In!
My son's penis must be sick because he was playing doctor and he asked his cousin to examine it.
Spanking is Child Abuse!
If you ask me, there is NEVER an excuse for hitting a child. And in my opinion, if you do, you should be arrested for child abuse.
Will I Survive Giving Up Wine for a Month? NO!
A couple of weeks ago, I vowed to try and not drink wine for a month. I failed miserably ... in fact, I didn't make it past day three! But it felt like a month.

Summer Vessels! 10'0″ Noserider!
This 10'0″ Noserider has got a blue resin tint on the bottom, an abstract paint job in the nose concave and a couple pinlines making this definite showroom quality! This one will certainly turn heads!
Summer is almost here which means warm weather, warm water, south swells and relatively small waves…but that's ok! The Noserider is a cruiser! It's perfect for those days you wanna get to the nose and the waves are under shoulder high. A pretty good sized nose concave and a soft 50/50 '60s type rail makes this Noserider a true log. If you're looking to ride what they rode back in the day, the Noserider is your board! This is my personal favorite in our line up! -Jake
(web description) The Nose Rider is superb at what its name implies. With one of the more exaggerated concaves ever built, this board will simplify getting tip time like never before. But that is just the beginning because it catches waves quite well, and it turns quite easily. This is your "take to the beach on an average day board" because surfing is supposed to be fun.
Call us at (562) 430-5614 or email us at email@example.com ATTN Jake if you're interested. Reference board#29913. Retail: $1085.00.

Best Inspirational Pictures
Inspirational images and positive pictures can breathe life into anything and everything you do.
Amongst the hundreds of quotes and images that Roxana Jones has written in the past few years we have created a collection with some of the most inspirational pictures of all time. Use these words of wisdom to lift yourself up and make your day always a positive one.
Why Inspirational Images
Why are inspirational pictures so powerful? For one thing, they can express in words, what your heart is feeling. They can also keep you going when you're down, and they can help a great deal once you're on your climb to the top. Sometimes you just need to hear the right words, said in a different way, to help you rise above the fray and be able to listen to your own light. And sometimes, other people will say the perfect thing that will spark your heart, or will put your imagination in over-drive.
Picking "The Greatest Pictures"
To find out the top motivational images of all time, we looked into what most of our audience were attracted to across our website, our different social networks and what were their favorite inspirational images. From that set, we tried to pick both some classics and some positive pictures that are unique to Roxana Jones. We also tried to organize the rest of the collection into a set of relevant categories for inspiration so that you can easily browse or scan the full set, or just jump to the ones you need.
At the end of the day, the best inspirational quotes are the ones that work for you. Only you know what lifts you up and which words of wisdom help you the most. You are the one that always holds the key to unlocking and unleashing what you're capable of and empower the light you hold within.
Enjoy these inspirational quotes and may they help you to open in ways you never dreamed possible. This is a living, breathing collection of inspirational thoughts, so feel free to share them through your favorite social networks and also make comments to each one of them.

A particular emphasis of the course focuses on the use for educational policy as an avenue for designing effective professional development activities for teacher leaders.
In this course, candidates will develop dispositional characteristics of an informed teacher leader who understands the impact of political groups, including teacher leaders, in shaping educational policy. Additionally, candidates will develop the skills needed to understand the degree of political influence in establishing educational policy and its implementation in school districts. Finally, candidates will explore the connection of instruction of underrepresented minority student populations and the spheres of political influence on educational policy.
Through comparison of Western and Non-Western educational policy and assessment of their results toward increasing student achievement rates, candidates will gain a global perspective of education across multiple ethnic and cultural groups. Candidates will also use comparison of educational policy in different countries to examine the impact of these policies on the macro and micro levels.
Upon completion of this course, candidates will develop a deeper understanding for and successfully utilize student assessments toward reaching the objectives of the educational policy that requires them. As such, the dispositional characteristics of a teacher leader who reflects on individual student learning are further advanced.

Introduces candidates to the idea of ethical decision-making in the field of educational leadership. The course will examine dominant theorists and principles that have shaped modern perspectives on ethical decision making and their relevance in an ever-changing global society. A particular emphasis of the course is placed on current issues related to educational leadership and the idea of "ethical dilemnas". Through course assignments, discussions, and assigned readings, students will be able to explore and define their current ethical perspective on educational decision-making.
This course examines the divergent theories of educational leadership for operation of educational institutions, programs, and services. Special emphasis is given to the idea of leadership theories (i.e. Psychological Size, Peter Principal, etc.) in the various duties performed by educational leaders and administrators on a daily basis. Additional topics covered, as related to educational leadership theory, include: institutional vision and mission statements, program and personnel evaluation, resource management, interpersonal communications, and partnership development and expansion.
This course covers the study of human growth and development across the life span. Emphasis will be on normal growth and milestones as well as barriers to development achieved in the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional systems. The course also examines the context of culture as it relates to growth and development. Before teachers can assume their important positions in an educational system, they must first thoroughly understand how children grow and develop normally, understand some of the theories and research examining that growth and development, and know how to apply that knowledge to the varying individuals who will represent the learners whose lives they affect. Many times, educators find themselves challenged by differing levels of ability, social skills, and experience as well as learners from other cultures. To serve as effective educators, students must know how to adapt methods in order to incorporate all students into a group of successful learners.

One by one, people came Thursday to drop off flowers in front of what is left of the charred structure on Wayne Road in Westland that used to be Marvaso's Italian restaurant and charity poker room The Electric Stick where firefighter 29-year-old Brian Woehlke lost his life in the line of duty.Michelle Walbott brought her son to say a prayer."Just to say a prayer and to think about his family, that he wasn't going to be home for his daughter, and just to think about him," she said.
Medical Examiner Determines Cause of DeathWoehlke was found on his hands and knees under rubble from a wall collapsing, but that is not what killed the firefighter according to the Wayne County medical examiner, who said he died of smoke and soot inhalation. The manner of death has been ruled an accident.Restoration crews are removing part of the roof and the front of the building, securing it so investigators can then get inside and to the ground level to see where the fire started and what may have caused it."The goal is, and everyone has sincere interest, make it safe and without hesitancy determine exactly what went wrong," said Ray Ahonen from Belfor Restoration.The fire marshall is in the process of ruling certain things out starting with anything electrical. Investigators plan to bring in an arson dog to determine if an accelerant was used.
Friends Say Woehlke Was a 'Great Guy'It has been especially tough for those who knew Woehlke. Colin Brennen was his former partner when they worked as EMTs with Rapid Response. He said Woehlke was a great guy who always had a smile on his face."One thing he always wanted to do, which is collective in our group of friends is we all want to be firemen. He made it to where he wanted be, and we're real proud of him. It's just really sad he had to go this way," Brennen said."We owe him a lot. We really appreciate the service. He was a really great guy, a really good family guy, and it's hard to see someone like that go," said Chelsea Blow.
Funeral Arrangements
According to the City of Westland's website, visitation for Woehlke will be Saturday, May 11 from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. and Sunday, May 12 from 2:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Harry J. Will Funeral Home in Wayne. A funeral mass will be held on Monday, May 13 starting at 11:00 a.m. at Divine Child Catholic Church in Dearborn. Click here for more information.

Triloka Copper Power Bracelet Asta Mangala
Triloka Copper Power Asta Mangala is made with 100% pure, fair trade, hand-crafted copper. Copper was the first metal known to man. For 10,000 years, it has been fashioned into jewelry and small tools. Recent research shows that copper inhibits bacterial growth. Copper is also an important mineral, necessary for metabolism of all living organisms. People ingest it through different foods. The use of metals for medicinal purposes is found throughout recorded history. There have been claims that the wearing of copper bracelets alleviates the symptoms of arthritis, rheumatism, tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. The Asta Mangala features the eight auspicious Buddhist symbols:
Fair Trade Background of Windrose Trading CompanyAt Windrose, they provide the highest quality Triloka aromatherapy incense and handcrafted gifts by supporting Fair Trade cottage industry partners. Windrose founders were among the first pioneers of Fair Trade cottage industry in India and Nepal. It has always been at the core of the values to partner with suppliers who are supporting worthy projects or foundations.
Net profits from a long-time Triloka incense producer have been supporting an Ayurvedic free clinic in India for over 20 years. The sage is sustainably harvested by a Native American reservation cooperative, which is preserving a sacred native tradition while providing income for an impoverished community. For over a decade, the main partner providing Nepali handcrafts has supported a monastery housing over 200 monks.
One of Triloka's long-time Indian partners is a member of IFAT, the International Fair Trade Organization. This group has been actively promoting Fair Trade since the 1970s, and has made tremendous impact on the community through their efforts. They focus on ensuring that all artisans have the training and support needed. They educate and campaign against child labor and illiteracy, while promoting environmental awareness and human rights. Their efforts continue to expand and they grow, and more artisans are benefitting from being part of this collaboration all the time.
Developing and maintaining long-term, sustainable relationships with the Fair Trade partners is an integral part of Windrose Trading's culture. Many of the partners have been improving products since the brand was founded in 1977. Fair Trade partnerships are based on the Gandhian concept of cottage industry, in which production happens in small workshops or in the home. Producers determine the price for the finished product. They have visited many of the workplaces, and they are safe and pleasant environments. Triloka supports Fair Trade partners in many ways. Depending on the need, they sometimes advance suppliers payment in order for them to more easily produce items. They also adapt some of the artisans' designs to appeal to the western market and accommodate current trends, ensuring greater sales of the items they create. Windrose plans to continue to nurture and support these partnerships for many years to come.
Fair Trade can be defined as trading practices that promote worker welfare, minimize environmental damage, and allow producers to increase their living standards. In Fair Trade cottage industry partnerships such as Windrose Trading, production happens in small family businesses, often at home. Therefore, the working conditions and prices for the finished products are set by the producers themselves. The primary focus is to partner with suppliers who are supporting worthy projects, foundations or individual families. They are committed to working with partners who are environmentally conscious, use recycled materials and sustainable practices. They travel each year to visit their working partners and collaborate on new projects, products and designs. Triloka stays in their homes and are treated like family. It is the experience of a lifetime!
Aromatherapy and the Triloka DifferenceAromatherapy is an ancient science of alternative healing that uses the positive influence of aroma on the mind and body to promote helpful mental and physical healing effects.

Triloka herbal stick and cone incense, essential oils, anointing oils and smudges are of the highest quality from natural sources. Their unique handmade incense holders, soapstone diffusers and smudge vessels provide a complete solution to your aromatherapy healing program.
The holistic healing science of aromatherapy dates back to ancient times when healers used plants to heal the body and lift the emotions. Aromatherapy uses several mediums of delivery to achieve this end. Incense, essential oils, perfume oils and anointing oils are all avenues to achieve a healing balance both physically and mentally.
Ayurveda, the science of life, is the oldest recorded system of medicine in the world. Within the Ayurveda, the use of natural plants consisting of herbs, grasses, woods, gums, resins, seeds and flowers makes up the body of the science of aroma. Closely allied with Ayurveda, the discipline of yoga applies fragrance to enhance relaxation and promote the meditation experience.
Positive influence obtained through aromatherapy comes from aroma and its impact on the olfactory system having pharmacological effects on the brain. Aromatic compounds alter mental state, mood, cognitive function and health in the most natural manner without disruption of the functions of mind or body. Balance of energies, relaxation and clarity of mind - all are addressed through this science.
Triloka brand of natural products are made using the principles of aromatherapy above, transforming ancient science into products for use as simple alternative healing tools. The reason Triloka incense is ideal for aromatherapy is that it is made traditionally according to the masala method. This ancient method combines natural herbs, gums, resin, woods and oils that are kneaded into a paste and hand-rolled onto fine bamboo sticks and sun dried. Burning these real, high quality ingredients, releases the properties desired in aromatherapy. Incense is never dipped in perfumes or oils, and will hold fragrance for many years.
Triloka natural herbal incense, smudges, perfume oils, essential oils and anointing oils are complemented by classic incense holders, soapstone diffusers, resin burners and smudge vessels to bring a complete solution to ones aromatherapy needs.
Welcome to Windrose Trading Company, the sole importers of Triloka brand aromatherapy and natural products!

They began in Maryland, and relocated to their home in Madison, Virginia in 1994. Triloka supports an amazing network of fair trade cottage industry partners in India and Nepal. Triloka was one of the earliest pioneers of Fair Trade, Eco-Friendly and Sustainability in this industry.
