Keeping Horses Content This Winter
Posted on June 30th, 2009 No commentsThe thermometer is starting to plummet and the snow is forecasted for the end of the week so it’s time to take the last steps of preparing for a winter turnout. Horses are made to withstand cold weather and do quite well in 20F weather. It has been shown that horses are healthiest when they are outside for at least part of the day in comparison to being kept in the padlock all winter long.
There are a few things that do change during the winter season to make allowances for the colder weather.
Make sure that water is always available. When the temperatures dip down ice can form on the water troughs. If this is an ongoing problem where you live then an investment in a water heater or an automatic pasture waterer will do the trick. It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on how much they drink, since although they require water, their thirst drops off in the winter.
A shelter is important on cold windy days. A roof with 3 sides is the best because it covers every angle the wind can come in except the front. It looks like an oversized bus shelter. It’s essential to remember that horses will require more food during the winter months. This is because it requires more energy to stay warm. Increase the amount of hay. Since it takes longer to break down, hay endures longer which in turn provides more long term heat.
Supplements are also a high priority in the cold season. A very effective supplement is TAHITIAN NONI® Equine Essentials. It supports the equine immune system with superior antioxidant activity as well as promotes proper feed digestion and nutrient absorption. The cold winter air tends to dry out hair and skin but the TAHITIAN NONI® Equine Essentials combats this. If you have a horse with joint problems there is a sister product called TAHITIAN NONI® Equine Essentials FlexTM that has had great results.
Here is a tip for beautiful sunny days when the light is reflecting that it is almost blinding. Use the fly masks. It cuts the glare. They are also handy on really windy days especially if your horse has ever had problems with his eyes.
You have to admit there is something beautiful about horses running in the snow.

SEO Expert Edinburgh
Posted on June 30th, 2009 No commentsSEO Expert Edinburgh: This post talks about the potential benefits available to Edinburgh companies who are considering partnering with a SEO Expert to help raise online brand or product awareness, increase leads, sales or opt-ins and maintain a profitable Web presence.
Let’s face it, gaining top search engine rankings takes time, knowledge and a lot of hard work. There is a ton of stuff to think about – keeping content fresh, keyword research, competitor analysis, web analytics… it’s a lot, especially if you’re trying to run a business at the same time.
DIY or Outsource To an Established SEO Expert
There is a steep learning curve just to gain an understanding of the basic principles of online marketing or prerequisite technologies like PHP, SQL and CSS. That said, search engine optimisation isn’t rocket science nor is it the black art as often described. If you want to invest some time and learn SEO, it’s truly a great investment in yourself and your business that will go a long way to future proofing your business and continue to deliver return after return after return.
N.B. Search engines are moving targets that continually evolve in order to deliver the best results to their users. Therefore, learning SEO is an ongoing process and there is no guarantee that techniques used today will be effective in driving rankings or acceptable to search engines in the future.
If your SEO requirements are immediate and you don’t have the time or the disposition to learn SEO then you need to talk to an established Edinburgh SEO Expert. Before you start, be clear about one thing - there is no magic pill. Even though you might be buying into the experience and expertise of a seasoned SEO veteran, gaining significant market-share through Organic Search takes time and, more importantly, patience. In fact, if you are in a highly competitive market it could take the best part of a year before you realise worthwhile gains.
Why Does SEO take so long?
SEO is about improving organic search engine rankings by adapting ‘on page’ elements such as meta tags, page title, headlines etc. and focusing the page content so that it becomes relevant for the terms that the page targets. The terms that each page focuses on are based on intelligence gained from ongoing keyword research, server log analysis, and web analytics.
Tasks like keyword research take time and updated pages need to be indexed by search engines. So, the time it takes to achieve top rankings is more dependent on the time it takes search engines to recognise the work of the SEO Expert than the time it takes to complete the work.
If your Edinburgh business has a website that depends on consumer traffic now is the time to talk to an Edinburgh SEO Expert.

Will Registry Cleaner Software Damage My Computer?
Posted on June 30th, 2009 No commentsWhen it comes to PC maintenance, a lot of people are unsure as to the safety of certain things. Disk defragmentation, registry cleaning, and even the removing of temporary files have become the scorn of a few misguided individuals, and this frustration has become the base of confusion for others who ultimately do not want to harm their PC, yet want the benefits that come with these computer maintenance options.
So - will running a registry cleaning program damage your computer? That’s what we’ll attempt to answer for you today.
The short and long of the question is this - it can, but it doesn’t have to. While your computer’s registry is undeniably sensitive, most professional registry repair and cleaning applications are exceptionally gentle. These registry cleaning software vendors, in order to stay in business and avoid lawsuits, must do everything in their power to ensure that their applications do not damage your computer.
Quite honestly, with most of the reputable registry cleaning applications available today, it would be fairly difficult for you to damage your registry on purpose using a registry cleaner, if not impossible for the less than technically savvy individuals.
All that said - these almos impossible to misuse applications only represent professional and well-supported registry cleaners. If you decide to download the first registry cleaning program that you find, without doing at least a little bit of research - that could potentially lead to a less-than-favorable experience.
When it comes to a registry cleaning utility - one of the most dangerous applications is an out of date or unsupported registry cleaner. For instance, if you try to run a registry cleaning tool on your Windows Vista computer, but the software technically only works with Windows XP, 2000, and 98 - that could have some serious negative ramifications.
Likewise, if you download and start to use what appears to be a reputable registry cleaning software, yet you download a three-year-old, outdated version of the software - that could also lead to a situation that you do not necessarily want to find yourself in.
Most professional registry cleaning tools are safe, especially considering their function.Reputable registry repair tool vendors go out of their way to ensure that their applications are as safe as can be - if they protect your computer, their product works, and you’re happy - they make money, bottom line.
As long as you stick with a reputable registry cleaning software, like Regcure you can rest assured that not only will your computer be safe, but that you will be keeping it in tip-top running condition as well.

The interior design of your home projects an image of self. There is nothing better than having a complete home makeover, but sometimes it cannot always be affordable . However, it is possible to redecorate your home according to the seasons without spending your life’s savings.
One of the best seasons to redecorate your home is at the start of spring. Spring is usually a time of new beginnings, and it can be incredibly therapeutic to revamp your home. Since spring is usually associated with flowers and bright colours, it is always good to incorporate this into your redecorating. The spring theme will last well into summer and is a lovely method of interior decorating.
Most people usually conduct a good spring clean at the start of spring, and this is a good starting point for your redecoration and interior design. To begin your affordable spring theme decorating, the first thing you need to do is get some fresh cut flowers.

You do not necessarily need to splash on the cost for fresh flowers every week, but can purchase a nice fragrance that you spray around areas of your house. Even nice bowls filled with potpourri can emit a gorgeous fragrance that will remind you of the new season each time you pass by.

Have a wonderful Monday morning!
Posted on June 30th, 2009 No commentsMonday mornings, don’t you just love them? The alarm goes off. You slowly open your eyes and you groan. Just 15 minutes more sleep you think as your head hits the pillow and then you remember it is Monday morning. Why am I so tired? Then you pull your tired body out of bed and think “I should feel better than this after a night’s sleep”.
It used to be for me but now I actually like Monday mornings. It took a while before I got to the point where I could say that. I tried a number of different things because I knew there had to be an answer out there somewhere. First was exercise which did in fact help some although I woke up sore many mornings. Then I tried eating a bigger breakfast which helped more throughout the morning but still didn’t launch me out of bed. Supplements! That had to be the answer. After trying vitamins and minerals and other substances I did land on one that really made a difference. It came in a really unique green glass bottle with a picture of a man on a beach blowing a conch. It is called TAHITIAN NONI® Juice and made from a funny looking fruit called Noni fruit from Tahiti.
The first thing I discovered was I wasn’t dragging through the day. After the first week I actually had energy to spare! Then I stopped drinking it to see if it was TAHITIAN NONI® Juice making me feel this way or my imagination. Sure enough my energy started running out again.
The next thing I found was that I wasn’t getting sick as often. While those around me were getting sick, it just passed me by. I found out later it’s because TAHITIAN NONI® Juice boosts the immune system. Needless to say it’s a keeper for me.

Oakland A’s
Posted on June 29th, 2009 No commentsThe Oakland Athletics are a professional baseball team based in Oakland, California. The Athletics are a member of the Western Division of Major League Baseball’s American League. From 1968 to the present, the Athletics have played in the Oakland Coliseum.
The “Athletics” name originates from the late 19th century “athletic clubs”, specifically the Athletic of Philadelphia. They are most prominently nicknamed “the A’s”, in reference to the blackletter “A”, a trademark of the team and the old Athletic of Philadelphia. This has gained very prominent use, and in some circles is used more frequently than the full “Athletics” name. They are also known as “the White Elephants” or simply “the Elephants”, in reference to then New York Giants‘ manager John McGraw’s calling the team a “white elephant”. This was embraced by the team, who then made a white elephant the team’s mascot, and often incorporated it into the logo or sleeve patches.
One of the American League’s eight charter franchises, the club was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1901. Then the Philadelphia Athletics, the team moved to Kansas City in 1955 and became the Kansas City Athletics. It was not until 1968 that the team moved to Oakland.
The Athletics’ name originated in the term “Athletic Club” for local gentlemen’s clubs-dates to 1860 when an amateur team, the Athletic (Club) of Philadelphia, was formed. (A famous image from that era, published in Harper’s Weekly in 1866, shows the Athletic players dressed in uniforms displaying the familiar blackletter “A” on the front). The team later turned professional through 1875, becoming a charter member of the National League in 1876, but were expelled from the N.L. after one season. A later version of the Athletics played in the American Association from 1882-1891.
The team name is typically pronounced “Ath-LET-ics”, but their longtime team owner/manager Connie Mack called them by the old-fashioned colloquial Irish pronunciation “Ath-uh-LET-ics”. Newspaper writers also often referred to the team as the Mackmen during their Philadelphia days, in honor of their patriarch.

Office Refurbishment Ideas for Productive Employees
Posted on June 28th, 2009 No commentsIntroduction
An enormous number of people work in offices of one kind or another. They may be offices in buildings purpose built or attached to a factory or in business premises. For many self employed business people the office is a room in their home converted for that purpose. Solicitors, doctors, estate agents and insurance agents, in fact any business that you can think of, works from some kind of office or another. You might even say 80% of the adult population work in an office. But I wonder how many of those people have any say in what kind of office they have and whether or not it suits their requirements. Mostly when someone new joins a company or firm, they are given a space for their office usually left by the previous incumbent. I suspect that if you asked occupants how they would like their office to be they would find it difficult to tell you.
When you think of the number of hours we spend in an office, at least eight hours per day and sometimes up to sixteen hours if it’s a busy period. Yes people are allowed out for breaks and rest times, but it is an awful lot of your life cooped up in small space. If at least a third of one’s working life is to be spent in an office, then it makes logical sense to ensure the environment is as comfortable, pleasant and as healthy as possible.
So how much thought goes into the planning of workspaces?
Where a building is purpose built such as an office, then the architects I am sure will have created good designs to suit the purpose. However, it has been known for new buildings to be problematic for the people working it them. For instance, synthetic materials used for carpeting can sometimes give off toxic fumes which cause allergies or illness of the staff. Air conditioning that relies on recycled air has the potential to carry bugs that can lay the whole office off at the same time. So there are many factors to consider in creating an office environment to ensure the staff are productive, creative, energised and remain healthy.
Old buildings, originally built for other uses, when converted to office space will have different issues to resolve. Often old buildings have very high ceilings where the heat rises up so that the inhabitants below are cold yet the heating bills are going through the roof, literally!! How to maximise the space available to provide a comfortable working environment will be a real challenge and this is where often the use of a mezzanine floor and suspended ceilings are valuable.
It is a well known fact for any establishment that happy workers give better performance and generate more revenue than unhappy workers. The workforce are more motivated, creative, helpful and have less time off work for illness if they are happy in their jobs. I am sure there are statistics available for these details, but you don’t need to review these statistics because it is common sense that tells us we have to provide a comfortable working environment. If you are the business owner, ask yourself if you would be comfortable working in the environment that you are expecting your employees to work in? If your answer is no then get an interior fit out specialist involved until you can say yes to that question.
Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the study of workplaces and the equipment used, to achieve the best design for comfort, safety, efficiency, and productivity. Research has been carried out over the last few years at Nottingham University on office space allocation problems.
Workspace planning is fast becoming a specialist industry because of all of the current regulations and legislation. Formerly known, in the UK as the Factories Act and now known as the Health and Safety Executive regulations are in place to ensure that employees have sufficient working space in which to perform their work. This can be a potential minefield including such things as physical space, usable space, corridor spaces, and minimum light and ventilation regulations. If you are about to commence on an office refurbishment project ensure that your interior fit out specialists of conversant with all of these regulations before you engage them to perform your work.
What are the Criteria for a good office environment? We are sentient beings, which mean we react with feeling and perception as well as intellectually to our surrounding.
Seeing
The first thing to consider when commencing an office refurbishment project is how does it look? The initial impact on us comes from what we see. The decor and arrangement of furniture, the window aspect and lighting are important in our perception of whether or not it is pleasing to the eye. Does the office have all the necessary equipment, computer, phone and sufficient storage for files and books etc? Plants create a sense of balance in the space as long as they are discreetly positioned and don’t make it look cluttered. Plants are oxygen generators and help to refresh the air.
Smell
On entering a new place the first thing we take in is the aroma whether we pay attention to it or not. We notice immediately if the air is stuffy or if there is an unpleasant smell such as sweaty bodies. However a pleasant fragrance or no smell at all will be inviting. Baker shops nearly always pump out the fresh smell of baked bread into the street to entice people in to buy the goods. So although we may not be aware that smell plays an important part in our responses, we are still animals and we do use our olfactory senses a great deal more that we realise.
Feel touch
How does the furniture feel? Plastic seats can be very uncomfortable to sit on for a long time. Plastic does not breathe, it draws moisture from the skin so that when you stand up your posterior will be damp and uncomfortable. Padded fabric is warmer than leather for comfort and not as expensive. The desk chair needs to be the correct height for desk and give suitable support, a computer needs to be set correctly to avoid neck and wrist strain of the operator.
The temperature in the surroundings is best if it’s not too warm and not too cold. Also when organising on office refurbishment job remember that people work best at a temperature of around 20 degrees centigrade, so temperature planning is also important.
Too warm and we become sluggish and sleepy, too cold and we become distracted and use up valuable energy keeping warm. Fresh air is also beneficial to stimulate the brain cells.
Sound Hear
What can we hear? Is it noisy or quiet? When I was first starting out in business, I went to visit a local manufacturing company to learn about the way they managed their business. At lunch time I was taken into the executive dining area where there was a waitress service and we had a very civilised lunch. Later I was taken to the works canteen. When we walked in I was hit with a blast of noise such as I had never experienced before. The hall was large with a very high ceiling and nothing to damp down the echo. The result was that everyone ended up shouting to be heard and there was loud music playing as well. I was shocked, not just at the noise level but by the contrast between the executive dining room and the workers canteen. I had come from an company which treated all members of the company the same so there were no executive areas and everyone, high and low mingled together for meals and break times. Guess which company had the better worker relationships and higher output?
Where a company utilises an open plan office then noise levels can be very distracting and one solution is to incorporate ‘White Noise’ which is a low level background noise to interfere with the general office talk going on over the phone or mini meetings. Sometimes quiet relaxing music is introduced as background noise but this is not common in a business place.
Taste
Well we are not going to go around licking the furniture, but another important consideration is to ensure that a there is an area to enjoy a nice coffee or tea away from the desk throughout the day. So is there a pleasant area for making drinks and preparing snacks, or even lunch facilities alongside the office. I once worked in an office where they had a small kitchen area off the main office for making drinks and snacks and there was always a bowl of fresh fruit for workforce, as the company recognising the refreshing effects of fresh fruit.
Workspace planning
So as you can see there are many things that can make the work environment a nice place to be. However getting the original layout and size of spaces for the employees is a complex process.
How much space does each individual need to work in? According to the Officewise publication from the Health and Safety Executive in the UK employers must provide a minimum of 11 cubic metres for each person permanently occupying a workplace. However there are all sorts of exceptions and caveats to this rule, such as making sure the space is usable space, and clearly if that space were under the stairs with no windows, or ventilation then it would not be suitable. So it is very important to ensure that your new office fit out adheres to all of the current legislation with regards to workspace laws.
An industrial fit out specialist often makes use of to make good use of otherwise unusable spaces over head by installing suspended ceilings which makes the installation of services easier and more less expensive. Electrical supply, air conditioning units, water pipes and telephone cables can all run behind the suspended ceiling making access easy if anything goes wrong and repairs need to be implemented.
Positioning of the electrical and telephone outlet is also important. The computers used in offices today all require their own electrical supply even if they are networked with the system.
Daylight from windows is a requirement for offices. The days of the cupboard office cubbyhole are gone. Light airy spaces make people feel good and doses of sunshine each day lift our spirits. However too much sunshine will overheat an office so the use of vertical blinds is recommended to deflect the rays of the sun without reducing too much the level of illumination.
Costs
To save on office space costs some industrial fit our specialists have come up with the idea that instead of having a board rooms for meetings they have their meeting standing up around a special tall coffee table. This reduces the amount of time spent in meetings and the space is reusable for the lunches. Other schemes encourage employees to work from home for part of a week and utilise a system of desk sharing or moveable desks.
Reconfigurable spaces
Another way of economising on the cost of office space is by careful rearrangement of the existing floor area. There may be dead areas which could be released and turned into useable space. The installation of new interior partition walls can rearrange the existing space to create a pleasanter working environment. Sometimes working in an open plan office is beneficial for communication between staff, other times it is a distraction and prevents efficiency. So having the option of both open space and separate offices provides the full range of options which can be easily introduced with new partition walls.
For example one of my clients, took over a set of offices and had various walls moved, so instead of it having two small offices, one without a window, they created one large office for the MD and a really good sized store room which they needed for long term storage of customer files. They then took out another divider and made a good size open plan office space and rearranged another wall to create a board come conference room. Also access to the little kitchen was changed to be more convenient. The choice of subtle colours on the walls and new vertical blinds caused the whole suite of rooms to be transformed into a pleasant and airy working area. Where there is plenty of ceiling height the introduction of a Mezzanine floor generates valuable areas perhaps for storage, private meeting rooms or extra offices.
Other considerations in workspace planning, is the situation of facilities such as kitchen, toilets, relaxation areas and outside space if available. Sometimes the introduction of a simple partition can create a relaxation/dining area without losing too much of the work area.
All Health and Safety regulations are paramount they have to be adhered to in the workplace and must be incorporated into any plan along with full fire regulations.
Conclusion
Many organisations may feel that upgrading the facilities is a ‘nice to have’ idea and the reality is that it usually comes at the bottom of the list on money allocation. However this is erroneous thinking; office refurbishment is never a waste of time or money. Creating a pleasant office environment by upgrading worn out or old fashioned surroundings and furnishings will make a big difference to the working life of the employees. Improved working conditions may be only part of the picture in achieving real job satisfaction, but it is a good start in the right direction. It also says a lot about what the senior people in the organisation think about their employees. If they ensure that their staff are given the necessary equipment and facilities to do their job effectively then the employees will give better service and can be more efficient and there will be a better working environment all around.

Can a Golf GPS device improve your golf game?
Posted on June 28th, 2009 No commentsThe world of gadgetry is filled with electronic toys that get used once or twice and then find themselves sifting down to the bottom of the kitchen knick-knack drawer. The hype on most of these gadgets is appealing, but rarely do they live up to their promises.
Many golfers are wondering the same thing about GPS golf rangefinders. With a fairly steep entry price, you don’t want to spend money on one unless you are sure it will work.
I did a search for Golf GPS reviews and didn’t come up with too much useful information, so I decided to do a test myself. I got 3 golfing buddies who own GPS units and we headed out to a local course. For each shot, all three of them would use their device to see how it measured shot distance and distance remaining to the pin or middle of the
green. In addition, I carried a laser rangefinder and paced off all distances from the installed yardage markers. My clipboard was filled with a stat sheet to keep track of all the readings and results.The conclusion I came to was that most of the GPS devices gave readings that were within 2-3 yards of each other. All were quite accurate from the fairway. Further away in the rough was more difficult and the cheaper GPS devices didn’t do as good a job of calculating the distances from these positions.
All the GPS golf rangefinders were within +-3 yards from what the laser rangefinder read, and were within +- 2 yards from the distances I paced off from the yardage markers.
You may conclude that it would be just as good to have a laser finder or just use the yardage markers. That is true, except for the speed. Laser rangefinders take about 30 more seconds per hole, on average to get your yardage than the GPS device, and pacing off took an average of 75 seconds less. That speeds up play by about 1/2 an hour per round just by itself, and that is a very good thing. Plus, if you are off the beaten path a lot, it can be hard to find yardage markers and with the laser rangefinder you are out of luck if you don’t have a visual of the flagstick.
The most impressive aspect, however, is the ability of the GPS device to give very accurate yardages to potential problem areas - bunkers, water hazards, etc. By knowing how far you have to fly the ball to clear the water or sand can be the difference between a par and a double bogey.
If you just want a basic yardage and the ability to see how far you hit shots (this knowledge will help you make better decisions in the future), one of the GPS golf units under $200 are fine. If you want some of the more advanced features or a color display, plan to spend around $400. If you are and avid golfer, it is worth putting on your holiday or birthday wish list.
Some of the most popular brands of GPS devices for golfers are SkyGolf, GolfLogix, Golf Buddy, Garmin and OnPar. Some devices require you to pay an annual subscription to download new courses. Others let you download courses for free. That’s a feature worth looking for. The most popular brand seems to be the SkyGolf SkyCaddie series of GPS
rangefinders. It’s interesting to se a list of all SkyCaddie GPS units to know which features you want or need.All golf GPS rangefinders and simple to use and most will automatically detect where you are and load the right course (providing you have that course stored on the device). After that, features differ from model to model. Most golfers will use the basic features most. Serious golfers will appreciate the advanced features of the high end models, and
golfers who love to keep stats between rounds will love the models that have those features.Check out the new golf GPS devices. You will love them and unless you are an absolute beginner, they will help improve your game.
