a selection of midway treats. The CNE Casino will be open daily from noon to 6 am. It will be closed August 4th for Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival.

CNE HORsECaPaDEsTuesday July 31st – Thursday August 16th, 2012Make sure you take the kids or any horse lover to the Horse Place at Exhibition place for this one of a kind event. HorseCapades is a great introduction to horses for everyone. It’s a completely free event. There are interactive horse programs that allow visitors to discover how a horse thinks, acts and reacts. You can take the beginning steps to becoming a horse whisperer. Other programs include the experience of what it’s like to ride a horse, pet and feed a horse, meet a mare and foal (mother and baby horse), learn about grooming and shoeing, and learn about the life of a race horse. There will also be games, contests and prizes to be won. As part of HorseCapades you can also watch the professional horse competition. Yee-Haw!

CaNaDIaN NatIONaL ExHIBItIONFri. August 17th – Mon. September 3rd, 2012The start of the CNE marks the beginning of the end of summer fun for the kids. The CNE is the largest annual community event in the GTA and takes place over 18 days ending after Labour Day weekend. There is a variety of events including Bandshell concerts, celebrity chef demonstrations, an aerial acrobatics and ice skating show, a dog show, a working farm and of the course the ever so popular three day air show. Of course I can’t forget to mention fan favourites such as the midway rides and games, the unique food fair, as well as the international food and shopping. The CNE takes place throughout the beautiful lakefront property

suMMERWORKs tHEatRE FEstIVaLThursday August 9th – Sunday August 19th, 2012I’ve never attended this festival in the past so I thought I’d ask a theatre friend of mine about it

and she couldn’t hold back her excitement when discussing it. She told me it’s her favourite summer festival and it’s something she looks forward to each year. SummerWorks is now Ontario’s premier festival full of exciting and captivating professional theatre. It’s the largest juried festival in Canada which features largely new Canadian plays. My theatre friend also informed me that it’s an integral part of the Toronto theatre community. The show times are all over the map, as are the venues.

How did you get started in the television business?I received a masters degree in journalism from University of Western Ontario in 2001 and was placed as an intern at CTV. I worked as a reporter at CBC and Toronto1 before finally landing at Citytv’s Breakfast Television in 2005. Three years in I was given the opportunity of a lifetime; to audition to host Cityline. The rest is history!

As host of Cityline, Canada’s longest running lifestyle show, Tracy is known for her contagious smile, easy laugh and love of fashion, fitness and all things shoe-related. This multi-tasking, modern day mom is host of the longest running and most successful daytime show for women in Canadian history, currently in its 28th year! On the Go sat down with Tracy recently to chat about her journey into the spotlight and what inspires her in fashion and décor.

GeT To Know CiTyline’s

TraCy moore

What is the most rewarding/ challenging aspect of the job?The most rewarding part of this gig is hanging out with Cityline’s enthusiastic audience every weekday. I seriously love the women and men who come and visit us every day. They’re full of spirit, happy to be here and ready to party. And by now everyone knows, I like a good party. Trying to balance all of the responsibilities that come with the job can be a challenge with two young kids. And this is where I brag shamelessly about my thoughtful, supportive husband. Lio is the reason why I can host evening events, do photo shoots and attend company obligations. He makes it easy for me and for that I’m truly thankful.

What is your favourite piece of furniture/décor piece currently in your home?I’m in love with our chestnut brown sofa. It has a curved back

and can fit all four of us (me, husband and two kids) either sitting up or lying down. It’s so comfy and spit-up / juice resistant. It’s the best!

Is there a certain design style that you have seen on the show recently that you really love? I’m a real sucker for the combi-nation of comfy contemporary spaces that are put together on the show. I love seeing a mix of tradition (nail head, high back chairs, rich colours) with contem-porary design (graphic wallpaper, clean lines). Rooms that nail that combination never seem to go out of style.

catch Tracy on cityline, weekdays at 9am on citytv.

If going to school has been on your mind lately, you are not alone. More individuals are attaining post-secondary educations, with 53% of Canadi-

ans in 2011 having at least a college diploma, univer-sity degree or a trade certificate. What do these trends mean for someone who has already been exposed to the market for years? It suggests that today’s worker should be ready to upgrade their skills and knowledge in order to advance their position. Going back to school can be a big commitment though. Consider these four questions before making your decision.

Is going Back to school a smart Move? By Paul Trzaski

BaCK tO

sCHOOL

1. Why do so? Determining why you wish to go back to school should be one of your first priorities. Is it because you want a new career or do you want to increase your skills in your current field? Establishing this will help create a specific long term goal that can be kept in mind and looked back to should you have any doubts.2. What are the costs? Researching and planning the financial costs of school is critical. If personal savings are not enough, financial aid in the form of grants, bursaries, student and private loans, or tuition funding programs from your current employer are available. Also do not forget to factor in additional costs, such as transportation, parking or day care, as they add up as well. 3. Do you have the time? Time is an important consideration, as most adults currently have a job and/or family that take up most of their schedules. Establishing time that can be put aside in order to incorporate classes and course work is important. Online classes and night classes can help with the time constraints you might have.4. What program is right for you? There are many programs at many schools that can advance your education, so picking the right one to advance yourself in a given industry can be tricky. Educational opportunities vary at each institution so make sure you look into the program outlines, their length and outcomes to ensure that you choose one that fits your situation based on the above questions. Going back to school may seem like a difficult process, but if you have the time and opportunity to do so, it is a smart move. Your career is an important part of your life so ask yourself, are you ready for the next step?

Hair Grow Technology’s Bio-Fen® product line is continually moving forward! We are introducing our two latest versions; Bio-Fen® Plus for Men and Bio-Fen® Plus for Women. These products have been assigned Natural Product Numbers (NPN’s) by Health Canada.aWe recognize that both men and women experience androgenic alopecia (AGA, or male /female pattern baldness) and have made some improvements to the original formulation basedon the latest science to address their specific needs. You will notice that we now have additionalcomplementary (Health Canada Approved) health claims on each product.

How does Bio-Fen® PLUS work?We are bringing you two new products with double the number of capsules and triplethe number of health claims for men and four times the number of health claims for women.

As in the previous formulation, the fenugreek seed extract in both new formulas reducesexcess blood lipid levels (hyperlipidemia). Fenugreek contains β-sitosterol, an activeplant sterol, which has been shown to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase activity – theenzyme responsible for converting excess testosterone to DHT (which is the primary molecule that causes hair loss). The SDG (secoisolariciresinoldiglucoside) from flax lignans in both formulas also decreases excess cholesterol- the building block of testosterone. Based on new research on therate of metabolism of SDG in flax lignans (8-12 hours on average),the dosage in both products has been revised from once a day totwice a day for optimum results.

Twice the Strength! Twice the Power!Bio-Fen® Plus for Men:As before, the saw palmetto extract inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, and this action slows down the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (or DHT) – theoverabundance of which causes the miniaturization of hair follicles.This activity of the saw palmetto also helps to relieve the urinarysymptoms of mild to moderate BPH for men. The saw palmetto that originally was an extract standardized to45% free fatty acids, esters, and sterols while the new formula is a4:1 extract to support the BPH claim. The product still containsthese molecules for hair loss, but they are now at proprietaryamounts based on our research so that the competition cannot duplicate our formula.

Bio-Fen® Plus for Men will also help to:• Relieve the urologic symptoms associated with mild to moderate benign prostatic

hyperplasia - BPH (e.g. weak urine flow, incomplete voiding, frequent daytime and night time urination).

• Reduce elevated blood lipid levels / hyperlipidemia.

Bio-Fen® Plus for Women:The women’s formula is almost the same as the men’s formula. The mechanisms and results forthe women formula is the same. The only difference is it contains silicon and iron instead of sawpalmetto. Silicon has been shown to contribute to hair shaft strength and thus healthy hairgrowth. It also contains iron which helps prevent iron deficiency. A number of studies haverelated sub-clinical iron deficiency in women to diffuse hair loss/alopecia.The increased amount of SDG and other revisions to the regulations allow us to make someadditional health claims for Bio-Fen® Plus for Women.

Bio-Fen® Plus for Women will also help to:• Reduce elevated blood lipid levels/hyperlipidemia

• Prevent iron deficiency.• Metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

How long must I use Bio-Fen® Plus? Bio-Fen® Plus for Men capsules are usually effective at stoppinghair loss within the first two months. However, since healthyhair grows only about 1 cm each month, it may take up tothree months before you notice that hair growth is increased or the rate of hair loss is decreased. Anyone experiencing newgrowth should see it within four months. In some people the original pigmentation may come back. Once you stop completely your hair growth pattern will slowly go back to thepoint where you started. However, some people may be ableto go with a lower maintenance dose.

What is the quality of Bio-Fen®Plus for Men?Bio-Fen® Plus for Men is manufactured in Canada according toquality assurance specifications called Good ManufacturingPractices (GMP). This ensures that the ingredients are tested fortheir level of quality, potency & purity, prior to production andthe finished product prior to sale.

Hair Grow Technology (Bio-Fen® Plus) is a progressive company - we continually seek out thelatest research on bioactive ingredients, and on regulatory updates in the natural healthproducts industry.

Older air conditioners — both central and room — use 30–70% more

electricity than newer energy-efficient models, driving up peak demand and costing you more. Also, older units can corrode or rust, leading refrigerants to leak and cause environmental damage and pollution.

Bigger isn’T always BeTTerWindow and portable units are good for cooling small spaces. They cost a lot less than central AC, which cools the entire home. The size of the air conditioning unit you need depends on your home. Some HVAC contractors over-estimate their clients’ need to make sure their client has “plenty of cooling capacity.” Or sometimes they just want to sell whatever unit they have. The fact is, bigger is not bet-ter. An AC unit that’s too big is expensive, inefficient and will turn on and off more often. An undersized one won’t be able to

cool your home enough. So how do you choose the right one? When you decide to replace your air conditioner, make sure your HVAC contractor performs a load calculation to determine the proper unit size. It’s important they take into account total home air volume — not just square footage. The calculation also needs to consider local climate conditions, and conditions unique to the house — such as the number of south-facing windows. Are they checking ducts? Is enough cool air getting to every room? Is enough warm air getting back to the air conditioner? Are the ducts as air tight as possible? This might involve sealing ducts. If they go through the attic, they should be insulated.

eFFiciency is iMPorTanTOnce you figure out how big an AC unit you need, you’ll want to get the most efficient unit you can. This is measured >

Every summer the heat and humidity drives homeowners to turn up their air conditioners. But if you’ve got an older unit, it might be time to replace it.

in something called SEER — Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. The higher the number, the more energy efficient the unit is. Old units might have a SEER of 5. You want to go as high as you can — 16 or 18 is great.

savE EnERgyAir conditioners are one of the biggest consumers of energy in your home. Make sure it’s the most energy-efficient it can be. Even an efficient air conditioner will perform as badly as an inef-ficient one if it isn’t installed properly.

• Keep your blinds closed to avoid your AC from working harder.

• Close your windows and doors when the AC is on.

• Do laundry and run dishwash-ers — which create heat — in the evening when it’s cooler.

• Make sure the condensing unit of your central AC is in the shade.

• Keep the outdoor condensing unit clear of leaves and debris.

Make sure there is enough space around the outdoor unit to avoid airflow restriction through the coils. Keep landscaping away from the AC unit.

• Try to place the condenser in a place that won’t disturb you or your neighbours — they can be noisy.

• Use a programmable thermo-stat and set it to turn on your AC before you come home, so you’re saving energy while you’re at work during the day.

choose the right colour CIL Dimensions Ready Mix colours are pre-tinted and ready to go — just grab them off the shelf, a quick shake and you’re ready to begin your project. You can be sure the colours are on-trend, easy to coordinate and are spe-cially formulated to go on easily and cover beautifully.

DOEs tHE ROOM FEEL aIRY aND LIgHt OR COzY aND WaRM?So what goes into choosing the right colour? The first consideration should be whether your furniture, flooring and window coverings are warm-toned or cool-toned. Cool tones feel airy and light, warm tones are more yellow and cosy. Then match the tone when choosing a paint colour — warm with warm, cool with cool.

DON’t BE aFRaID tO usE RED as aN aCCENt COLOuRFor example Drum Beat is a cool, berry-toned red that is ideal for formal living rooms, master suites and dining rooms. Red is one of the easiest colours to use as an accent wall, so don’t be intimidated by it. Psychologically, red is thought to increase appetite and energy, so if you use it in your dining room, your dinner parties will always be exciting and delicious.

CHOOsE BROWN aND gEt BaCK tO NatuREChocolate Kiss, a warm brown, is another colour that creates a dramatic ambiance. Its warm base tones make easy to live with. It’s a sophisticated colour, but as with all earth-tones, its natural roots make it very comfortable and cosy and so it is a classic choice in a family room or dining room.

confounded by colour?Have you ever stood in front of a display of paint chips and felt totally overwhelmed? Choosing one colour to transform your home from among thousands can be so intimidating that many of us get “stuck” at this crucial point. So, to help you get “unstuck” CIL’s colour experts have pre-chosen ten of the most versatile, beautiful and easy-to-coordinate colours from a range of over 1200 colours.

CLassIC NEutRaLs gO WItH EVERYtHINgCIL’s 8 other Ready Mix Colours are classic neutrals, but even they have warm and cool undertones. Just keep the warm/cool rules in mind when choosing a colour.

Choose one of CIL’s 10 ready-to-go Ready Mix Designer Colours and you’re on your way to a perfectly sophisti-cated, coordinated décor.

by Jen Mitchell and Laura ducharmeIt’s been a scorcher of a summer so far and we expect August to be much the same. It’s both frustrating and disheartening to hear of dogs being left in cars on hot days, which causes them severe distress and even death. You would think that common sense would prevail when it comes to such an obvious no-no, but apparently not, because there have been a number

of reported incidences of dogs being left in hot cars around the GTA. So we must all work together to get the word out. You can never leave your pet in the car while you run an errand, shop or visit. Not even for a couple of minutes!

dog days of summer

here are soMe tips on hoW to Keep yoUr doGs cool in the sUMMer:• Provide plenty of fresh water to keep them hydrated.• If your dog needs to be outdoors during the daytime, make sure it has a shady spot to rest in. Backyard kiddie pools are inexpensive and a joy for dogs, why not fill one up and let them splash around in it? (Supervised, of course.)• Walk your dog earlier in the morn-ing or in the evening. Keep your walks short and remember that dogs will keep going and going, and while they may seem happy and fine, they may not be. Learn the signs of heat exhaustion in dogs. And finally, be careful when walking your dog on hot pavement — it can burn their paws.• Cool water rubbed onto areas of your dog’s body helps to provide some relief, but there’s no better way than a good old swim in the lake to keep them cool all day. There are many dog parks that have access to lakes. Check your city’s off leash web sites. Laura’s dog Phoenix loves Humber Bay.

• Check out the various “cool gear” that’s available online or in pet sup-ply stores — from cooling vests to dog beds, there are lots things to try.• In addition to (not instead of) plenty of fresh water, try feeding your dog chilled treats. Jen’s website has easy recipes for frozen dog goodies.

Enjoy the rest of the summer, and again, please help to inform our com-munity about the dangers of leaving pets in hot cars. For beautiful recipes for home cooked dog food, and other great pet care tips visit mydogsbreakfast.com.

Vacation is a time to relax and enjoy yourself. You work hard all year, you

deserve to have a good time. The problem that most people have is that they indulge way too much and become a bit gluttonous. A good rule to follow is every day allow yourself one indulgence. This could be a dessert with dinner, pancakes with butter in the morning, or an afternoon pizza. Whatever it is that will satisfy you, choose one thing a day and stay on track for all other meals.

Before you leave for vacation mentally prepare yourself for exercise. Schedule the time you will be training and it will most likely get done. Most resorts and vacation spots have many activities that require exercise; choose one and have some fun with a loved one. If all else fails, bring a jump rope and running

shoes, take half an hour to get some cardio in. You won’t feel guilty if you still exercise and your vacation will be more enjoyable.

If you do find yourself in a diet tailspin, acknowledge it and get out. If one day on vacation you lose all control, start back over on your healthy regimen the next day. If you allow your diet tailspin to get out of control you will come back home with a weight gain. One day won’t kill you, but a week of it will make a big difference.

Life gets hectic and a vacation is much needed. Use the time to reboot, energize and relax. Follow these simple tips to stay healthy and avoid guilt. Happy travels to you all!

directionS1. In a large bowl combine the fennel, cabbage, celery, red onion, green onion and green apple. Set aside.2. Zest and juice the orange. You want about ½ cup of freshly squeezed

orange juice and about 1 tsp of zest. Add to fennel coleslaw mixture.3. Add olive oil, apple cider vinegar, tarragon, parsley, lemon juice, sugar and black pepper. Season to taste with kosher salt.

stand for 1 hour. This will allow the asparagus to absorb a little moisture and stay crisp and moist when grilling2. Drain asparagus and drizzle with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Add minced garlic and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Gently mix to evenly coat the asparagus.3. Lay a slice of prosciutto vertically (short end at the bottom) on a flat work surface. Place one seasoned asparagus spear across the middle of the pro-sciutto at the bottom end and roll up the asparagus tightly in the prosciutto. Repeat with remaining asparagus. 4. Line up four prosciutto-wrapped

asparagus spears. Skewer the four spears together with two skewers across. This will make it easier to grill the asparagus. Repeat until you have six skewers of four. 5. Preheat grill to medium high 450°–550° F.6. Cook asparagus until tender and prosciutto crisps, about 3–5 minutes per side.7. Remove from grill, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and balsamic vinegar and serve immediately with Mastro Cucina Italiana Italian Style Ribs.

Tip: for this recipe, use asparagus spears with a stalk that is about ½” thick.

teQUila

aficionado

“…Now tequila may be the favoured beverage of outlaws but that doesn’t mean it gives them preferential treatment. In fact, tequila probably has betrayed as many outlaws as has the central nervous system and dissatisfied wives. Tequila, scorpion honey, harsh dew of the doglands, essence of Aztec, crema de cacti…”—Tom Robbins

tequila is a spirit made from the blue agave plant, primarily in the area surrounding the city of tequila, 65 kilometres northwest of Guadalajara, and in the highlands (Los altos) of the western Mexican state of Jalisco.

diFFerent tyPes oF tequila:Blanco (White) / Plata (Silver) Clear, unaged tequila that is normally bottled right after being distilled. Most platas pass directly to the bottling plant, however, some producers allow the tequila to settle and finish for a few weeks in the tanks before bottling.

Joven (Young) / oro (Gold)These tequilas are often called suave, joven, gold, or abocado, implying youth and smoothness. They can be made from 100% agave but are normally made with 51% mixed tequila. The blending of silver tequila with aged or extra-aged tequila is considered gold or joven tequila.

extra añejo (Extra Aged)Extra Añejo tequila has been aged for a period of at least three years, without specifying the aging time in the label, in direct contact with the wood of oak (holm or holm oak) or Encino oak containers with a maximum capacity of 600 liters. Its commercial alcohol content must be adjusted by dilution water.

reposado (Rested)Reposado or “rested” mandates that the tequila remain in wood for a period of two months but no longer than 12 months. This is a requirement of the Mexican government. Each distillery has its own preference for the type of barrel used in aging; some of the most common are made from french oak or white oak. The type of barrel used and the resins and tannins exuded have a dramatic impact on the finished product and produce the subtle nuances that distinguish one tequila from another.

añejo (Aged)Añejo, which means “vintage”, can only appear on bottles that contain tequila aged in oak barrels having a maximum capacity of 600 liters, in a minimum of one year. A year of resting in a cool bodega produces a smoother and more sophisticated taste. American whiskey barrels, french oak casks, or cognac barrels, are commonly used to age this tequila. Añejos are typically aged between 1 and 3 years. They are darker in color, more complex in flavor, and smoother than reposado tequilas.

historians, architects, curators, designers and other creative people in their communities. So far over one hundred activities have registered for the 2012 weekend. “London Culture Days is the fifth largest Culture Days celebration in Canada due to the generous participation of local artists, professional and volunteer-run cultural organizations, libraries, and museums,” said Andrea Halwa, Executive Director of the London Arts Council. In 2011, the annual Culture Days event took place in 800 Canadian cities and towns, with attendance topping more than 1.2 million Canadians. More than 1265 activities were presented across Ontario, a 36% increase over the first year’s participation levels. “By offering these learning events, Culture Days aims to help

local activity organizers create rewarding experiences during the Culture Days weekend and to have a positive impact on the public’s engagement in arts and culture throughout the whole year,” said Warren Garrett, Chair of the volunteer Task Force for Ontario Culture Days.

Doors Open will also take place September 29th & 30th. Discover how London and the spaces that give London its identity have transformed over time. Experience London’s past and present, and the possibilities for London’s future. Doors Open is commemorating 200 years of peace and the bicentennial of the War of 1812.

While London was not declared a village until 1826, there were many early settlers and First Nations inhabitants who occupied the region during the War of 1812, most of whom acted as witnesses and active participants. Check out some London sites, such as Brick Street Cemetery, Eldon House and Fanshawe Pioneer Village, who tell stories of the War of 1812 and the 200 years of peace since. There will be over 50 historic and early 20th century buildings and businesses available for the public to view free of charge both days. It is a wonderful experience that takes you back in London’s history. From Eldon House, London’s oldest residen-tial home at over 175 years old to the Jet Aircraft Museum, relive the days of the past, present and future.

february 20 – March 20: You are going to need to ensure the loyalty of your team otherwise business could take a turn for the worst. Something is a miss and it is your duty to figure out what could be jeopardizing your career. Being kind and expressing different thoughts or opinions will help ease tension.

august 24 – september 22: Be on the lookout. An old flame could be coming to you for help with personal problems. This will most likely lead to you becoming emotionally involved all over again. Please remember, there is a reason why you two are together no longer. Try to focus your energy on work instead.

september 23 – october 22: Do you find yourself on a downward spiral because of too much entertaining and late hours? Sooner or later it will take a toll on your body, personal and even work relationships. Make more effort to spend quality time with loved ones, because in the end, they are the ones that will be there for you.

March 21 – april 19: Breaking your routine will help activate your imagination and brighten your mood. It could be something simple such as changing the order of your daily tasks, or something a little more complex such as taking a vacation. Do not do something drastic like changing your career.

May 21 – june 21: You’ve been concerned about something in your personal life, and you are not sure how to proceed. Well, you may not have to take any action because a happy and peaceful conclusion is about to wash your worries away. Your career will be looking up, but with the money comes more responsibility.

november 23 – december 20: Someone close to you needs some affection and cheering up. Offer them your attention rather than the questionable people you’ve been giving your time to lately. By remaining with shady people you will then be cast into the same category by others who observe you.

june 22 – july 23: Keeping it simple is your motto for August. Take control of your urges and wants while minimizing them or eliminating them all together. Once you learn to do so, you will notice a change in your well being and it will bring you personal satisfaction in the end.

december 21 – january 20: Instead of purchasing needlessly you need to save your money and invest wisely in order to ensure a greater period of happiness. An incident from your past may be creeping up on you, but you are strong and you can handle it. If it becomes too overwhelming take some time for yourself.

july 24 – august 23: By paying close attention to detail and offering all of your concentration, your income will increase by a landslide. The more effort you put into something the greater the result. Take notes of changes you would like to make to projects and then offer them to your superior at the appropriate time.

april 20 – May 20: Are you feeling the itch to make a career move or a major decision in your personal life? It’s important that you talk to a close friend or colleague before making an important decision that could change everything. You must have a clear head when making this choice.

october 23 – november 22: Contemplating renewing an old friendship has taken a lot of your time. You should act on it or the moment could pass you by. Any sort of involvement with money and family members or close friends should be avoided. It will be hard to say no, but to you must to save the relationship.

january 21 – february 19: There may be some conflict when it comes to your romantic life and your work life. Ideally, your career should take priority, but you are going to have to decide which plans to alter. Once you have made that decision you need to follow through. There’s no turning back now.
