The rewards include merchandise delivered based points accumulated by visiting equine pages on Facebook or following various Twitter accounts. It will also offer a regular rotation of sweepstakes.

Guelph, ON. - Equine Guelph is combating the number one killer of horses (other than old age!) with a new eWorkshop on colic prevention, March 11 to 24. This affordable online short course is designed to help horse owners understand colic and take preventative measures by following good stable management practices. At a cost of only $75 plus HST, this eWorkshop could translate into thousands of dollars of savings by helping horse owners avoid the nightmare of colic. Equine Guelph's Colic Prevention eWorkshop will cover topics that will help horse caregivers reduce colic in horses by identifying risk factors, understanding different types of colic, detecting early signs and symptoms, assessing their management plans and developing preventative strategies.Upon completion of the Colic Prevention eWorkshop, participants are eligible to receive a certificate from Equine Guelph. This two-week online course also qualifies for Equine Canada coaches updating credits. As part of the colic prevention program, Equine Guelph is also launching its latest FREE online health care tool, the "Colic Risk Rater," which will assess and calculate colic risk and provide useful feedback on management practices. Every month in 2013, Equine Guelph will be providing a practical colic prevention tip in Equine Guelph's e-News, which will be capped off with the release of a Colic Prevention Tips poster in December. Equine Guelph would like to thank everyone who participated last fall in Equine Guelph's Canada-wide colic survey. "Understanding the horse owners' experiences with colic has assisted Equine Guelph in developing a Colic Prevention Program tailored to the industry's needs," says Gayle Ecker, director of Equine Guelph. In addition to funding from Alltech and Standardbred Canada, investment in this project has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program (CAAP).

My love of photography is probably greater than my ability. But I've captured some great moments during my travels. One place which offers up some absolutely amazing photography opportunities is Paris. Beautiful architecture meets iconic cityscapes and sumptuous food markets filled with fresh produce meet traditional boulangeries.
I was so pleased with some of my Paris photography that a collection of it has made it onto my walls at home. Ok, I've done some touch ups here and there and had a little help from my old friend Instagram but these are only testament to how much you can enhance your photography with very little effort using some brilliant apps.
The best apps I can recommend are Camera 360, Camera+ and of course instagram.
Here are some of my favourite shots.
Lady with her dog outside a boulangerie
I don't normally photograph people but I felt compelled to photograph this lady. I loved her red hair, her quirky but elegant dress sense and her big furry coat to match her canine friend. The fact that she's peering in at all the amazing bread and fresh deli food made me wonder what it's like to live in Paris. I know you always think of the romanticised side of it but if it means you grow old and elegant like this lady, I'm there.
Love Lock Bridge.
I was absolutely amazed by this bridge. You may have read in the news earlier this year that part of it actually collapsed due to the weight of all the locks. This picture shows a mere portion of the bridge that is covered in padlocks and souvenirs of all shapes, colours and sizes. But when you see the whole thing you'll be amazed at how many there are. It's no wonder all that love caused it to collapse.
Paris Metro station sign
I know, I know, it's a bit cliché but I just had to get a photo of a Paris metro sign. It's quintessentially Paris. I'm a big fan of the iconic London tube sign but they're just that bit more elegant here aren't they? This was one begging for me to add an instagram filter on it.
Eiffel Tower
How can you be creative with one of Paris' most photographed structures? Take a photo of part of it rather than its whole, that's how. I got VERY carried away (as most visitors will) when I got to Le Tour Eiffel. There are so many different ways to photograph this impressive tower.
Le Jardin du Luxembourg
This park, also known as the Luxembourg Garden, was one of my favourite experiences in Paris. Luckily, the skies had cleared and it had warmed up a bit for our second day so we enjoyed a thoroughly gorgeous Sunday afternoon stroll through this stunning place. There'll be more on Le Jardin du Luxembourg later, but this shot of a tree-lined path shows just a tiny portion of its beauty.
The Moulin Rouge
Again, an iconic site in Paris. I'm sure Parisians are less excited by this giant windmill but I was more eager to see this than I first thought. Yes, its surrounded by some rather seedy sex shops but it's a spectacle to see. And it is of course the birthplace of the modern can-can. I'd have loved to have booked in for a cabaret show but sadly we didn't have the time. Instead I have this brilliantly colourful photo. Love.
View from Sacre-Coeur
You know when you get the travel buzz when you're in a really special place? I got that at the Basilica of Sacre-Coeur – the elegant white church which dates back to the early 20th Century and sits high up on the hill in Monmartre. Yes, this area is teeming with tourists. But get past the crowds (or go early) and enjoy some stunning vistas across the city. I decided to focus the shot on the decorative iron railings to give an appreciation of how far the eye can see up here.
Basilica of Sacre-Coeur
The actual basilica has many elements to it but it's this shot you'll see when you read about it. The church sits at the top of dozens of steps where swarms of tourists sit and gaze out at the view. Look back behind you and you can marvel at this architectural delight that was nearly 40 years in the making.
Old Renault car
We were walking through the streets and this just happened to catch my eye. You'll see many Renaults around Paris of course, but I love a vintage car photo. Especially when you put a sepia effect over the top.
Amelie's cafe
Have you seen Amelie? This is Cafe des deux Moulin – the cafe that appeared in the film! It's very retro. Very worn around the edges. Very French. And is teeming with both locals sipping coffee at the bar and tourists marvelling at the movie memorabilia. These lights made for some very fun colour-accent experiments, and quite a cool shot, I hope you'll agree.
Graffiti in Montmartre
Get past the chic cafes of Montmartre and you'll see not all of this area is as polished as you think. In fact there's an area as you descend down the steps that's absolutely filled with graffiti. While we were there, a guy was creating this rather beguiling monkey. We couldn't help stop and stare, and take dozens of snaps.
Dog at Le Louvre
If you head to the Le Louvre you'll find many a tourist standing on top of these pedestals, trying to get the ultimate shot of them 'holding' or doing some clever shot with the famous pyramid structure behind. This little dude was being photographed by his very proud owner with his skateboard propped up. I couldn't help get a cheeky pic.
Plenty more on Paris soon…
Until next time x

The city of Glasgow is acting as a national and global blueprint to demonstrate the additional value of making cities 'smart'. So what can we learn from Glasgow about the shape and advantages of our future cities? The author explains what's going on.
In 2013, Glasgow won a competition gaining £24 million from Innovate UK to demonstrate how cities of the future will work. This funding is to explore innovative ways of using technology and data to make life in the city safer, smarter and more sustainable.
From integrated systems to address energy and health issues, to improving transport and mobility, Glasgow has been developing a series of initiatives to showcase the potential offered by smart city technology.
The incubator project allows UK businesses to test new solutions that can then be exported globally, as well as improving the local economy and increasing quality of life.
All of the data produced by the projects will be publicly available to allow other cities to benefit. It gives real insight into how our cities can be shaped for the future and made more resilient.
All of the data produced by the projects will be publicly available to allow other cities to benefit.
What is a smart city?
The concept of smart cities is not new, with its origins in the Smart Growth Movement of the late 1990s; it began in advocating new policies for urban planning.
More recently, the concept has become a call to action under the Future Cities banner, focusing on achieving dramatic improvements in city living through technological innovation. These include:
- Setting a city vision
- Providing the right governance structures
- Engaging all aspects of society in defining the outcomes —users, citizens, business and commerce
- Applying collaborative leadership and data sharing
- Attracting finance and private sector engagement
- Working across disciplines and city systems
- Delivering improvements that provide better services and quality of life to citizens now and for the future
Smart cities put their people at the heart of design and decision-making. Cities and citizens generate a huge amount of data which can be used in smart ways.
The Scottish Cities Alliance is a collaboration between Scotland's seven cities and the Scottish Government. The resulting blueprint they have created is focused on activities that will maximise social, economic and environmental opportunities.
Glasgow is also involved with the biggest EU Research and Innovation project
The five aims of the programme provide an insight into what smart city technology can achieve for cities and their citizens:
1. Improving lives: testing innovations in health and wellbeing, while generating data-led insights on the links between health, economic growth and productivity.
2. Collaboration and engagement: developing a platform enabling cities and partners to freely exchange information, combine resources and track emerging projects.
3. Open data and transparency: moving to active engagement with the data community to identify and develop innovative smart city solutions.
4. Technology and innovation: attract investment to combine transport options from different providers across the country, including travel planning and payments.
5. Environmental sustainability: use a 'circular economy' approach to efficiently manage the flow of resources within and between cities.
European innovation
Glasgow is also involved with the biggest EU Research and Innovation project. Horizon 2020 has nearly €80 billion of funding available over seven years (2014–2020). The project is taking ideas from the lab to the market.
Relating to smart cities work, Glasgow City Council is involved in the Ruggedised Project, which forms part of Horizon 2020.
The focus is on creating urban spaces powered by secure, affordable and clean energy, as well as electric transport, smart tools, connected assets and services.
It will deliver 32 separate solutions in Glasgow, Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Umeå (Sweden), which will then be adapted for use by Brno (Czech Republic), Gdańsk (Poland) and Parma (Italy).
Putting city users at the centre of design, and breaking down boundaries, allows cities to reap the benefits of smart technology
What can other cities learn from Glasgow?
So, what can other cities learn from Glasgow about becoming "smart"?
- Collaboration: by collaborating with other Scottish and European cities, Glasgow is having an impact on the global stage.
- Focus: on improving the lives of citizens for today and into the future.
- Break down the boundaries: between disciplines and systems to create a network and embrace disruption.
- Be measured and targeted: measuring success from targeted projects is vital to gain further funding and proving benefits.
- Putting city users at the centre of design, and breaking down boundaries, allows cities like Glasgow to reap the benefits of smart technology —they will thrive as a future city on a global scale.

text: This was our second trip to Bratislava with bratislava stags and I didn't think it could get any better the second time around but how wrong was I! Dean is still the big boss and the female guides that you have for every activity just got better. Bratislava has defiantly evolved and is much nicer than it was before, and the beer is still as cheap as it was 5 years ago which is an added bonus. Don't think about Bratislava just go and if you do then give these guys and gals a ring as they will not disappoint.

26. comfy
I love this scarf. It's like a comfy warm hug around my neck.
This is a very delayed post. I've had all the bits for this floating around for literally months. I finished the scarf in October last year. The draft blog post has been kicking around since November last year but the right words were being elusive. I have the month of moments prompt to thank for getting me off my butt and making me finish it.
At the end of July 2012, my Mum, my Aunty and myself went to The Melbourne Craft & Quilt Fair at Melbourne's Convention & Exhibition Centre or Jeff's Shed as it is affectionately known by Melbournians. I love craft shows! (The advertising banner below has it spot on). I try to get to at least one each year. It's such fun to immerse myself in a creative world for a whole day. I thoroughly just enjoy looking and being inspired by others' awesomeness and rarely buy much. (Except books and they don't really count do they?)
Signatur Handknits. Jane's inventive knitting kits have been around on the Australian craft scene for at least 20 years or so, but I noticed this year she got to appear at Vogue Knitting Live in New York. Lucky her. I'm jealous.
It was both the shape and the colours that got me in. Then I fondled the wool and I was thoroughly hooked. It was so soft and snugly. The wool is called Tonalita - Italian for Shades. (You could also translate it as hues. On the other hand Tonalita is also the name for a particular type of igneous rock found in the Italian Alps).
Pattern: The Wave Length Scarf is created working short rows - or incomplete rows. The pattern has two width options: narrow and wide. I made the narrower 17 stitch scarf.
Yarn: Trendsetter Tonalita yarn made in Italy. The colour I used is called Violet Eyes. It is a 52% Wool, 48% Acrylic blend and despite being a single twist ply is tougher than it looks. This yarn is dyed as an un-spun, raw fiber & then spun into some wonderful color combos. I used two balls.
This was great travel knitting. Here's me knitting it on the train on the way to another craft show in early October with my son and little sister (her birthday present). In fact, in my photo file on my computer, this scarf's picture folder is labelled as "The Craft Show Scarf".
|I'm so glad it wasn't this sort of Tonalita. Not comfy at all!

European soccer champioship in Poland and Ukraine should attract thousands of visitors interested in Ukrainian architecture and places to see.
Posted by AB , Labels: facts about nanotechnology , history of nanotechnology , IBM , nanotechnology Sunday, March 6, 2011 3:51 AM
Nanotechnology is a technology, which allows to work with substances on the levels of individual atoms. During traditional methods of production, scientists work with portions of tissue, which consist of billions of atoms. Even now, with such powerful technological base, it is almost impossible to view the smallest parts of an atom.
|Image Credit - DebateitOut.com
It turned out that by using this microscope scientists could not only see individual atoms, but also to lift and move them around. This demonstrated the ability to manipulate atoms and brought an idea to build new subsctances by moving them around and stacking in something new, it was like building a house with a set of bricks.
Traditionally, nanotechnology is divided into three major areas:
- manufacturing of electronic circuits and schemes, the elements of which consist of several atoms
- creation of nano-machines and nano-robots, for examples mechanisms and robots the size of a molecule
- direct manipulation of atoms and molecules in order to assembly of them something new.

Style: Everyday Essentials with Elomi Lingerie.10:59
Hey gang! Hope you're having a great weekend? I've got some delicious plus size lingerie on the blog today courtesy of the lovely folk at Elomi. Available in band sizes 34 - 46 and cups DD - HH Elomi lingerie is designed specifically for the fuller figure and hey pride themselves on their fit.
I'm wearing The Bijou is from the Essentials range, it's a really nice everyday set consisting of a lightly padded seem free bra and short style briefs. I'm wearing the 38F, I found the band to be quite generous and whilst firm it didn't dig in or hurt. The cup size was just right, my left boob is a little bigger than my right so I always have problems around that area, but I've worn this two days running and everything stayed in place nicely, no rogue boob spillage haha!
The briefs are a nice fit, but sadly the style just didn't work for me, I just found the deep leg on the short style a little uncomfortable, I think it's because I'm used to a high leg brief. I think I'm just a creature of habit haha! But If you do prefer the short style the fabric and design on these is so lovely.
I'm really excited to be on the Elomi table for this years Plus Size Awards, I think it's going to be a pretty lively bunch of girls haha! And speaking of the awards, I'd just like to thank everyone who has taken the time to vote for me, it means the world to me. And If you haven't and would like to, I would really appreciate it! Click on the pic below and vote for me in the Best Blogger and Best Fashion Blog categories! Thank you!!!
**I was sent the lingerie in this post for the purposes of review, all words and opinions are my own**

Ha'et Hawa' is a series of seven short stories about the nature of fear and the walls it creates within and around individuals. Each story is housed inside a folded 'wall' with illustrations by Jean-Marc Nahhas.
As each wall is broken to reveal a new piece of the narrator's story, the reader begins to question the role fear plays in his/her own narrative.
The book is published by Dar Onboz.

In an uncanny incident, a man in India has filed a complaint against a stray dog for mistakenly making away with his money.
The businessman who hails from the north Indian state of Bihar said a stray dog entered his house and took away a bag containing 400,000 rupees (£4,650) mistaking it for food.
Nakched Mian, the complainant, said he had kept the bag in his house and was not watching when the dog ran away with it.
"I kept Rs 400,000 wrapped in a polythene bag on my bed and began eating food. However, no sooner had I gone to the nearby hand pump to wash my hands than I saw a street dog running away with the polythene bag. I gave it a hot chase but it soon disappeared in the locality," Mian said in his written complaint to the police.
Soon after the official complaint, the authorities launched a "doghunt" in an attempt to retrieve the money.
Their efforts were not totally in vain as they recovered 140,000 rupees from a nearby street but the rest of the money is still elusive. Locals have also joined the money hunt.
The incident has led to all dogs in the area coming under watch. The police have ruled out a criminal case against the errant dog. The officials believe that the dog would have dropped the money bag somewhere failing to find any food in it.
"The police are searching for the dog but have not been able to nab it. The police have recovered some money during the course of search operation, and now the search for the dog is still on," a local police official named Nitasha Gudia told Gulf News.
Mian received the amount from his son who is working abroad to buy a piece of land. Now, it has gone to the dogs!

The downspout section of a gutter funnels all of the gathered water away from the foundation. Unfortunately, these sections of corrugated metal or plastic pipe are rarely attractive additions to the home. Consider one of the alternatives if you want to stop erosion and foundation flooding without resorting to a traditional downspout.
Go Green With Rain Barrels
A tough plastic or metal rain barrel can sit at the bottom of each gutter drain and capture water for you to use on the lawn or garden. As recommended by the University of California-Davis Extension, check that your area hasn't made it illegal to disconnect your downspout before installing a rain barrel.
Rain Chains Also Drain
For a more decorative option, try a metal chain or string of cups known as a rain chain. Although they can only handle the water coming off 30 feet or less of gutter length, these chains produce a lovely fountain effect and some are even musical.
Drywells to Stay Dry
Running the downspout underground and connecting it to a buried pipe allows you to send it off to a device known as a drywell. The drywell is a perforated container that drains out the moisture far from your foundation.

This post brought to you by Spiegel.com. Opinions are mine.
I'm sorry to be a downer (sort of sorry) (not that sorry), but we have hit the point in winter where things are looking bleak. As I'm typing this, it's dark and overcast with some type of slushy nonsense falling, and the memories of lovely weather and warm sunny days are dim and hazy. Much like the actual weather outside. (It really must be bad if I'm actually blogging about the weather—it's come to this.)
I definitely need some bright cheeriness in my life, and I'm definitely getting excited for spring to arrive. This weird phenomenon happens every year in my closet where last year's seasonal clothes mysteriously disappear and I realize I don't have anything to wear. Weird, right? Jeff doesn't believe me, but I think there's some sort of clothing manufacturer conspiracy going on. Anyway, I'm eyeing some things I'd love to wear when (if) spring arrives and things warm up a tad. Although I'm really having a difficult time imagining that ever happening at this point.
Clockwise from top left: Isabella Dress ($24) // Peplum Hannah Top ($19) // Camille Skirt ($24) // Pamella Dress ($24) // Jenna Cardigan ($19) // Heather Skirt ($44)
I'd love to get some brighter items in my closet, and the red-orangey colors on that bottom left skirt are gorgeous. Every spring and summer, without fail, I decide I ought to wear skirts and dresses more often. They're not something I wear much, other than to church on Sunday, but they're so light and breezy, it seems almost silly not to wear them regularly. I so want to get a white summer dress, and I love this one on the top left. And we all know how frugal I am, so $24 sounds like an awesome price to me. I seriously have opened a tab with that dress no less than 5 times in the last few days and had a heated inner debate about buying it. It's so affordable . . . but I have messy children, it will only stay white for about 10 minutes . . . but it's so lacy and bright and pretty . . . we'll see who wins. I'm really tempted.
What do you have your eye on for spring?

At PK Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, we keep pace with the most advanced approaches to improve the comfort and convenience of your dental healthcare experience. With Potomac Falls Invisalign, we offer an alternative method of treatment to traditional metal braces using discreet, clear plastic aligners. Invisalign is a state-of-the-art approach to orthodontic care, making it possible to straighten your smile, without sacrificing your comfort or appearance in the process.
Straight teeth and an even bite contribute to a healthy smile and a positive self-image. Potomac Falls Invisalign corrects misalignments and malocclusions, to improve the health, appearance and function of your teeth. To map out your course of care with Invisalign, our dentist will utilize advanced 3-D imaging to depict precisely how the aligners will reposition your teeth at each phase of treatment. These images are then sent to an Invisalign laboratory, where they fabricate your sequence of BPA-free aligners. The aligners work by applying subtle and gentle pressure to gradually guide your teeth into their desired position. Every two weeks, you will advance to a new aligner, to incrementally move your teeth into position. Our team of professionals will keep you informed and at ease throughout treatment, and will instruct you on how to properly wear and care for your aligners. In addition to being both comfortable and virtually invisible, Invisalign aligners are removable for short periods of time, allowing you enjoy all your favorite foods, and to brush and floss with ease. You won't ever have to feel self-conscious about wearing an orthodontic appliance, or have to compromise your lifestyle at all. Invisalign makes straightening your teeth a stress-free experience.
For personalized solutions to all your dental health needs, visit us at PK Cosmetic and Family Dentistry. With Potomac Falls Invisalign, we make orthodontic treatment easier than ever. To find out if Invisalign is right for you, or to learn more about our services, call today.

Q: Is there a limit to how many units I may purchase?
A: That depends on the individual developer. Some do have restrictions concerning investment purchases. Best to talk to the agent/builder.
Q: Would a developer/builder ever have reason to stall registration? What happens after registration?
A: What would be the purpose of this? The company that built the condo will not get their money until after registration occurs. They would be anxious for a final closing in order to move on to additional condo projects.
Once the building is registered, lawyers work with the buyers and their mortgager to close all sales, and funds will be transferred to these same lawyers, who in turn must pay the developer. The deed to each unit may then be transferred and properly registered.
Q: When is my brand new condo legally mine? I am waiting patiently and would like to have possession as soon as possible.
A: The condominium corporation must be registered before title of individual units can be transferred to the purchaser. If the building is almost complete, the agent should be able to provide a fairly accurate estimate regarding possession date. But you can live in the unit before it is legally yours. You will pay an "occupancy fee" (sort of like rent), which consists of three amounts; calculated monthly interest on the unpaid portion of the purchase price at a percentage rate determined in accordance with the Condominium Act; the projected common expenses contribution for the unit based on the first year budget that is included in the disclosure statement, and a reasonable estimate of municipal taxes for the unit that will be adjusted if necessary once the actual taxes are determined.
Q: What happens if I find something wrong with my new condo unit?
A: There is a very important process called pre-delivery inspection for new condos. Before you move in, you must examine your suite with a service representative. Any defects agreed upon should be noted on a special form (cracked tile, chipped counter, missing cupboard knob, etc.).
All defects must be noted on this special form. It acts as an official acknowledgment that the builder recognizes them as legitimate flaws. Go over your list a few times before you submit it to the developer and keep a copy for yourself.
