Most dogs love to drink running water, but in the past, this has been a difficult thing to supply your pet with. Recently however, a company by the name of Drinkwell has introduced a running water pet fountain that delivers running water throughout the day with the use of an electric motor. Drinkwell has a handful of different fountain models on the market today, but as a dog owner, you should only really consider two of the options.
First, there is the Drinkwell Platinum fountain, which is a good option for those owners of a small or medium sized dog. The Platinum is a revised version of Drinkwell’s first pet fountain, which is named the Original pet fountain. The Platinum model improved on two of the Original’s deficiencies, a lack of water capacity and troublesome cleaning issues. The Platinum model holds 168 ounces of water compared to only fifty ounces from the Original model. This is a huge improvement and makes the newer model a great fit for dogs. Since the pet fountains need to be cleaned frequently, Drinkwell also simplified the Platinum fountain for cleaning purposes. This will save you time and frustration with the fountain.
For larger dogs, Drinkwell has recently introduced the model they call the Drinkwell Big Dog fountain. It looks much like the Original and Platinum models, but is definitely super sized. With 2.25 gallons of water capacity (288 ounces), it’s a much better fit for large dogs. The bigger construction is also nice for large dogs because it means they don’t have to bend down quite as far to drink from the running water stream. You can expect to pay about ten dollars more for the Big Dog fountain compared to the Platinum model. If you have a medium or large dog in your household, it makes sense to opt for the bigger fountain considering the small price increase between the two.

Teaching children survival skills may keep them from becoming targets of abusers and help them escape from abductors. The ability to find food and shelter until rescued will shield a child from many dangers. More importantly, providing children with a secure family unit where they are loved and cared for certainly increases their chances of avoiding society’s predators.
Criminals know that runaways are easy prey; that’s why they target them. Debi Pearl takes a hard look at the victimization of runaways in The Vision.
As the fabric of family life frays even in religious homes, children are running away in greater numbers. Statistics from the US Department of Justice show that more than 2.5 million children leave home annually. Of those children who leave home, the majority become involved in prostitution. A majority of these children are indentured into service by abusers. Because many of these children are from unstable home situations, they are not always reported missing.
In October of 2008, more than a dozen child prostitution rings were stopped by federal agents. Children involved ranged in age from thirteen to seventeen. These crimes were not limited to urban areas. Rather, many were found in suburban and rural areas.
Criminal hunters study the mental and emotional makeup of their targets. Runaway children are often seeking security and safety. The abuser knows this. Whatever the child lacked at home – food, clothing, money, attention, shelter – all of that is promised by the abuser. Predators also know how to use physical force and the threat of further violence to control children.
The response of local law enforcement is often to give a criminal record to these children. While the age of consent in many states is 17, there is no limit to the age at which a child can be charged with the crime of prostitution. The same laws that state a child is not old enough to consent to the act can be used to charge the child with a crime for being engaged in the act.
These children often have no one that is willing to take them in, or no family to whom they are willing to return. Most communities do not have safe houses where victims can receive crisis intervention, medical services, counseling and protection. Although released from jail or juvenile services, these children often have no other option but to return to the same bondage they escaped.
In The Vision, read what happens when several individuals encounter a young runaway who seems to have outrun all hope and help. Endurance, faith and patience are put to the test as an angry, untrusting soul is at stake. This is just one of the strands that is woven into the tapestry of The Vision.

(10.13.2011) City of Idlib | Large night protests in support of Binnish – Free Syria
Use Your Mobile Phone to open your gate, garages and electric door
My house, built in 2001, came with the automatic gate. The gate installer gives me 2 remote controls and I have to purchase another 4 for my parent, wife and 2 kids.
My 12 years old boy is a very forgetful person; he always misplaces the remote control in school or his friend’s house. Each times when he lost the remote control, I have to collect back all the remote control from all family members and spend few hundreds to purchase and reprogram new remote control. It is really wasting a lot of money and troublesome.
When I took a look at the Witura website, it was easy to see how the GSM gate opener benefit when replace of all the remote control. Basically, I can let my mobile phone be the universal remote control. I can now open my automatic gate, garage door, my shop roller shutter with my mobile phone.
I insert a SIM card into this small box. I will program my family cellular numbers inside the unit as well. When I call to the gate opener, the gate opener will check the calling number if inside the white list. If the numbers are in the list then it will reject the call and open the gate. The system did not answer the call; it simply checks the caller ID.
Their basic concept is very simple, all electric gate have a button that is used to open them. The GSM gate opener has a relay whose contact connected to the opening button. When you call into the unit, the system is intelligent to search your numbers under its white list. If your numbers register into the list, the unit will trigger the relay and open the gate.
My GSM operators did not charge me anything because the system just simply rejects the call. It won’t cost me anything to open the gate. Of course, an active SIM is needed for this solution.
My 14 years daughter is exciting with this new system. She likes to store and delete number into the GSM gate opener. She likes to play with the SMS and simply send the phone number that starts with password to the GSM gate opener. This solution only allows the person who knows the password can insert or delete the phone numbers via text messages.
Personally, I like this solution because the GSM gate opener does not have limitations like a normal remote control. Using a mobile phone you can open / close from very far away, even from another city. It is really convenient to arrive in front of my house when the gate is already open, without having waiting in the middle of the road.
Crimes such as kidnappings, vehicles theft, and armed robberies normally occur while waiting at the automatic gate to open. I feel more safety with this new solution. So, why want to be a victim? Prevention is always better than cure
My wife has a boutique shop in the city. Every morning, she has to wake up early and spend 40 minutes in the traffic jam just to hand over the keys to her workers. When I installed one unit GSM gate opener in the roller shutter, all the problem solved. Every morning, she doesn’t need to jam in the traffic just for the sick of open the roller shutter for her staffs. When her workers arrive to the shop, they just call her. Then she calls to the unit, the unit triggers the shutter button, the shutter will open. So convenience and she save a lot of time in the travelling and petrol. Her workers also will not late to work because they need to call her every morning to open the roller shutter
Everybody have mobile phone now, utilized what you have in your hand to create convenience for yourself and family. Use your mobile phone to open your gate, roller shutter, garages, and electric door without any cost. I can save a lot of money, travelling times, more safety and convenience when use this GSM gate opener. GSM Gate Opener is a practical system, simple and useful device for living. You can find Witura GSM Gate Opener and a lot more at WITURA GSM SWITCH http://www.witura.com/products/remote-monitoring-and-control-and-data-collection-system/gsm-switch/gsm-switch-as-gsm-gate-opener.html

Personal Trainer Irvine in Orange County offers Personal Training Irvine in OC! Welcome to Motivational Monday! 15 Ways to Stay Motivated to Exercise!
Hey everyone, Happy Motivational Monday & welcome to the official JUNGLE FITNESS Orange County Personal Trainer Blog! Today, we’re going to discuss 15 ways to get motivated to lose weight or to exercise.
Don’t Wait for Motivation
If you wait to get motivated, you’ll be waiting for the rest of your life. You have to create motivation, the same way that drug addicts or alcoholics need to create the motivation to kill the habit. If you do just keep waiting, just like an addict, you may wait until it’s too late, when you’ve hit rock bottom, after you’ve had your first heart attack, stroke, or diabetic complication (or your last if it’s fatal) or can’t walk anymore because your bones and muscles can’t support your own weight. Don’t wait. Don’t wait. Don’t wait. Start by getting up and moving. Don’t just say, “I’m going to lose weight this time.” Really get up and do something about it. The very act of getting up and moving triggers parts of your brain that tell your body, “I’m serious. I’m going to do this. I’m going to get fit.” And believe it or not, your body will listen, and you’ll officially be on the road to a healthier life. Make it happen, now! Right now, get up and march in place for 30 seconds. Don’t even wait to finish reading this article. Just get up and do it. If you can’t march in place, then just stand up, do arm circles, reach for the ceiling, and twist at the waist. If you can’t stand up, then sit and do arm circles, reaches, and twists. Just start moving. Before you know it, you might even discover that the 30 seconds of moving just wasn’t enough. You might find yourself exercising for a minute, or 2 minutes, or even 10 minutes. And then, all of sudden, you’ll realize, you’re getting a workout. So get up! Get up! NOW!
Sign a Contract with Yourself
I know it sounds silly but there’s something about writing it down on paper that makes you realize that you deserve to be healthy. You deserve to lose weight. You deserve to have energy and flexibility and strength. When you write your contract to yourself, be specific. Don’t just say, “I promise myself I’ll lose weight;” it’s too general. Instead say, “I promise myself that I will walk for 15 minutes every morning, even if I’m tired. I will eat one fruit with every meal. I will have 2 veggies with lunch and 2 more with dinner. Whenever I have a choice between eating white bread or whole grain bread, I will choose whole grain. I will not eat or drink anything that has corn syrup or hydrogenated oils in it. I will choose water or tea (with no more than 1 small spoonful of sugar) or diluted juice instead of drinking soda, sugary drinks, sports drinks, high calorie coffee drinks, or milk based drinks.” This time, it’s going to be different. This time, you’re serious. And you’ve got a contract with yourself to prove it.
Chart Your Progress
Charting your progress gives you the opportunity to see how much you’ve improved over time, how all of those seemingly insignificant little steps have added up to big things. It also makes you stay honest with yourself. You can’t say, “Oh I worked out three times last week,” when your chart clearly shows that you only worked out once. Get on that scale, weight yourself, and write it down. Make a graph out of it, so you can see that little line going up and down. Now post it somewhere you’ll see it frequently (especially when you eat, like your wallet when you eat out or the refrigerator when you’re at home). The more that line goes down, the more satisfaction you’ll get. Also chart your exercise. Give yourself a gold star for every day that you exercise. Write down how long you were able to walk, jog, dance, etc. Write down how many crunches or push ups you did. Then chart your food. Give yourself a happy face sticker for every day that you drank water with a squeeze of lemon instead of soda at a restaurant or for every time you chose whole grains instead of white bread, white rice, or white pasta.
Visit Your Doctor
Get a full physical exam. Tell your doctor that you would like to lose weight and you need some motivation. Your doctor will likely check things like your blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, etc. The results are often motivating in themselves, because bad numbers mean that you have a shorter lifespan than healthier individuals (on average). Also, be sure to tell your doctors about any symptoms you have (e.g. snoring, being tired, being out of breath, mood swings, etc.). Your doctor may be able to tell you which symptoms are caused by your excess weight. Your doctor can also help you understand what problems your excess weight will cause for your health and lifestyle in the future. (Note: If you’re doctor doesn’t seem to take your weight loss goals seriously or doesn’t answer your questions about how being overweight will affect you long term, then get a new doctor. Find somebody who understands how important this is.)
Keep a Journal
I’m definitely a diary keeper, and I’m happy that I am. When I’m lacking motivation, reading through old journal entries can often remind me how far I’ve come and give me the confidence to keep going. I can see that I’ve had obstacles before, and I overcame them. I can read about how tired and depressed I felt before a workout and how I energetic and alive I felt afterward. So get a diary and start writing. It doesn’t need to be a fancy book (although sometimes it’s nice to have one). You can use a bunch of papers stapled together. You can write it on your computer and print it out. You can start a blog online (lots of blog services are free). Just start writing about your experience. You can also add photos to your journal. And if you create a digital journal, you can also add video clips.
Exercise First Thing in the Morning
You can’t procrastinate when you’ve already finished your workout because you did it right after you woke up. This also sets the pace for your day, high energy, and reduces your appetite with a Protein Shake. If you can’t exercise immediately after you wake up, at least exercise as early as possible in the day. Get it over with, so you won’t have to spend the rest of your day thinking “I need to work out” and feeling guilty about it.
Focus on Little Goals
“I want to lose 100 lbs.” is hardly a little goal. Instead, focus on losing just 1 lb. If I lose 1 lb. I’ve succeeded. Likewise, focus on exercising for just 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc. rather than running a marathon. Focus on eating a healthy breakfast or skipping snacks after dinner instead of how many calories you ate during the entire week. It’s the little goals that make the real difference. Each step you achieve should be a celebration because it means you are just a little better than you were yesterday.
Take Before and After Photos
Photos are amazing. I make sure to take lots of photos of my and my family, and I look at them daily. It’s nice to see a photo and remember back to when I had a triple chin and know that I don’t have one now. It’s also nice to take those front-view and side-view photos in my underwear. The first ones motivated me just out of pure shame. Seeing my progress, though, has helped me realize how much better I look today and how much better I’ll look tomorrow.
Read Your Labels
When I’m drooling over my favorite junk food at the grocery store, motivation is often just one glance away. I read the label. Most of the time, the number of calories, fat grams, or sugar grams is enough to put me into shock, and suddenly, I’m not so hungry for it anymore. If I still have a craving for it, looking at that label will motivate me to find a less harmful alternative or even learn to make my own healthy version.
Act as “If”
I know you weren’t an athletic person last year or yesterday or even 10 minutes ago, but right now, at this moment, you can become an athletic person. Just lie to yourself. Say it out loud, “I’m an athletic person.” Now, let’s think about this. What do athletic people do? What are their lifestyles like? What do they eat? What do they not eat? What do they drink? What do they do in their spare time? How much of a priority do they put on exercise? When do they exercise? Now it’s time to live the lie. Start acting like an athletic person. Lie to yourself every morning. Wake up and say, “I’m athletic. I’m athletic.” Then get up and start your workout and your new athletic lifestyle. Eventually, you’ll start to believe it, and then you can brag to others about your athletic life: “So I was going for my morning jog….” Eventually, other people will also see you as an athletic person, and now you’ll have a reputation to uphold. Before you know it, you’ll really be an athletic person, and you’ll develop the athletic body to go with it.
Take a Class
Let’s say you join a gym because you think that paying for a membership will motivate you to actually go and work out. This can work for some people, but most people tend to lose the motivation to hit the gym after awhile. They start putting off their morning workout until their lunch hour, then putting that off until after the work day, then eventually skipping their workout completely because they were just too tired. Several weeks later, they realize that they’ve paid for an entire month of gym membership but never went to the gym. So what’s the answer there? Join a class. Joining a class is even better than just joining a gym because, in addition to paying for that class and wanting to get your money’s worth, you’ll have a schedule to keep you on task. From 7pm to 8pm, you’re going to be in a dance class, martial arts, gymnastics, yoga, or aerobics because that’s the only time when the class is offered, and the teacher is expecting you to be there. No procrastination allowed because they’re not going to put the class on hold for little ol’ you. Plus, you’ll likely end up making some friends in your class, so you’ll look forward to going and socializing with your new pals while you get a workout. (If money is an issue, try signing up with a community college PE class or a class at a community center.)
Tell People
Tell your family. Tell your friends. Start a website, and tell total strangers. It’s amazing how publicity can be motivating. Most of us don’t like disappointing people, so there’s something about knowing that people are expecting you to drop a few pounds that makes you want to reach that goal and convinces you to eat just one cookie instead of the whole bag of cookies or to finish that workout instead of just skipping exercise for the day. Yes, peer pressure can be a good thing.
Join a Support Group
You can join my online support group, Chubby Buddies at Yahoo Groups, or find another one, either online or in person. It’s just nice to know that other people out there are going through this fat struggle too. You can also get tips from them, whine to them, brag to them, and give them support too. If you end up making friends there, you may even end up feeling needed and loved, which helps fill some of those emotional voids that we often try to stuff with food.
Avoid People Who Discourage You
If you can avoid them, do it. If you can’t, at least talk to them about how their attitudes are affecting your progress. Be honest. It can be tough, especially when Grandma is making you feel guilty about not eating a pound of her homemade cookies, but be firm anyhow. Even if they get angry or start crying, just remind yourself that you are doing the right thing. Give yourself a mantra if you must: “I’m going to be healthy, and I’m not going to let anyone, no matter how much I love them, stop me.” Just standing up to such people will give you a new sense of confidence that you can use to keep you on track to meet your goals.
Reward Yourself with New Clothes
For me, the reward comes with the loss of every 10 lbs. Lose 10 lbs., buy something to wear (something indulgent, not just some used pants from the thrift store). You don’t have to buy a new wardrobe. Just buy an outfit or two. Clothing is not just a reward. It’s also a highly motivating measurement tool. Every time you drop a size, you can beam with pride as you now get to look for clothes with the XL tag instead of the XXL tag. When you finally move from the fat sizes section to the regular sizes section, you can throw a party. (Don’t forget to buy some new shoes too. You’re feet even get thinner.) (quoted from: kristensguide.com)
I hope this encourages you to start motivating yourself to lose those love handles, become sexy, become fit, or to just become whoever you want to be. Follow these tips and I’m sure some of them or maybe even all of them will help you do what you always thought was impossible. This is Jon Jung and… I’m out.
