Chew on this. As humans, we have a deep need to believe . . . a need to relate to something greater and more ideal than ourselves. Perhaps that’s why so many millions believe in Dog. Man’s devotion to Dog has come to rival the great -isms and -ologies of the world. This thing has gone way beyond a hobby. We may not literally worship dogs, but we come pawfully
close. This rabid reverence for Rover has a name: Dogtology.
Dogtology is for the dog lover who has bailed on a date because they didn’t want Twinkles to be left home alone. It is for the human whose dog owns a more festive holiday wardrobe than they do, whose pups dine on free-range bison burgers while they live off ramen, or whose smartphones have more photos of their dog than of the humans in their family. In this sacred dogtrine, the case is made that Dogtology has become a bone-a-fide belief system on par with the world’s great philosophies and religions.
The stations on which Pet Pals airs is as follows:
Los Angeles, CA
Indianapolis, IN
Austin, TX
Grand Rapid, MI
Salt Lake City, UT
Washington DC
Lake Tahoe, CA

I recently was given the opportunity to try out MyPainAway After Burn Cream. This cream soothes the pain and discomfort associated with sunburns, wind burns, blisters and minor burns. It is a homeopathic remedy that contains arnica and other homeopathic active ingredients. It doesn't have a strong medicine like smell and goes on non greasy. I even used it for my own dry skin and it moisturized it perfectly. This multi use cream is great in any situation. The company is also doing a giveaway so that you can get your own and add it to your own emergency first aid kit or medicine cabinet:
Inspired by the New Movie “Burnt,” Topical BioMedics Announces “Don’t Feel the Burnt” Contest to Win MyPainAway After-Burn Cream
Actors Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller were trained by renowned chef Marcus Wareing to cook haute cuisine dishes while filming the new hit movie Burnt. Because the actors suffered from burns while filming in the professional kitchen, Topical BioMedics was inspired to launch its “Don’t Feel the Burnt” contest to win tubes of its MyPainAway After-Burn Cream for treating culinary mishaps.
Released nationwide on Friday, October 30th, the film “Burnt” stars Bradley Cooper as obsessive, hot-headed top chef and restaurateur Adam Jones and Sienna Miller as his sous chef Helene. Because the actors got burned during the course of filming, Topical BioMedics, Inc. was inspired to launch the “Don’t Feel the Burnt” contest to win tubes of the company’s MyPainAway After-Burn Cream formula.
Aurora Paradise, chief operations officer, says, “When I heard that the actors suffered from numerous burns making the movie, I wished they had our safe, natural MyPainAway After-Burn Cream on the set to stop the pain and help them heal. That’s why we are giving everyone a chance to win our formula to have on hand for any of their own culinary mishaps.”
“Don’t Feel the Burnt” contest may be entered by clicking the following link http://gvwy.io/6s4nmg9 , and contestants will be invited to share their own cooking burn story. The contest runs from October 30th through November 30th. There is no purchase necessary, and six winners will be selected at random to win a 6 oz. tube of MyPainAway After-Burn Cream.
The actors were trained to play their roles authentically and hone their culinary skills with coaching from acclaimed Michelin-starred British Chef Marcus Wareing, who worked for Gordon Ramsay and other top chefs before opening his own renowned restaurants in London. Wareing says, “There was nothing fake about the kitchen. I had to get people dirty and sweaty to make it look like they’ve been working 12-hour days.” His goal was for everything to be realistic. “I want to see the cooks cooking. I want to see the stoves on. I want to see them seasoning. I want to see them tasting. I want to see them burning themselves. That’s how a kitchen is.”
Cooper said of the filming of Burnt, “There is the intensity of the kitchen in the movie. Massive amounts of pressure, time pressure. It’s hot and dangerous, and you better keep up. There’s a lot of burning. Yeah, we got hurt.”
Miller concurs. “Being a chef is one of the hottest jobs in the world. It’s really hard, and the environment is challenging. I have the badge of a few scars to prove it.”
Directed by John Wells, “Burnt” also features Uma Thurman, Emma Thompson, Daniel Bruhl, Lily James, Matthew Rhys and Jamie Dornan.

Alicia Bell and Telus Present - Living Better With Samsung S6
I have such a busy schedule! Not only am I a personal trainer in busy downtown Toronto, Canada, but I also work for a water company (GP8 Sportwater) and I am also an athlete who trains to compete in the Ontario Physique Association (OPA) bikini category.
My life is filled with fitness, nutrition, travelling and social interactions. Sometimes it is hard to keep track of not only my own goals and activities but also my clients and other business adventures. I have to keep a very tight schedule, so for me timing is everything.
Since getting the new Samsung S6 from Telus I have been living better! I love to take pictures and video of my clients training, my own workouts, the food I eat and the day to day activities and events that I attend. I have found that the Samsung S6 really captures these moments. Its dynamic, ultra-responsive camera captures the true-to-life brilliance of any moment throughout my day. It also has a quick launch camera so that I can pull out my phone and quickly (under a second) launch the camera to take an in the moment photo.
Another convenient feature for me is the quick unlock finger print option. Instead of keying in a password (which you can also do) you can use your very own finger print to quickly unlock your phone. It was very easy to set up and when I need to open my phone fast to read a message it only takes a quick second to unlock from being secure.
Another one of my favourite features is that it has a super charger. What does this mean? It means that because I am always on the go I can plug the S6 in for just 10 minutes and get up to 4 hours of battery life!!!! When you take as much photos as I do and you are constantly travelling from one place to another and listening to music this is crucial. I don't have the time to leave my phone plugged in for hours at a time.
The apps that I have found useful on the Samsung for my busy and active lifestyle are:
S- Health: This app you can personalize and sync your health data with your Samsung account. You can choose your personal units of measurements and receive notifications of events in the status bar. Within the app you can download extra things. I use the Workout Trainer (if I need a quick workout for myself), Recipes & Nutrition(for finding healthy recipes) and the Hydro Coach (for recording my water intake). There are so many useful apps to help with staying on track and these three are just a few. You can completely personalize the S Health and the apps that you use within it for whatever your goals are.
The phone can also counts your daily step count and allows you to adjust your goals for the count. I have it at 10, 000 steps per day. The only downfall is that if you don't have the watch to go with the phone you have to have the phone in your hand or in your pocket for it to keep track.
The sleep tracker is also key. As an athlete and trainer I cannot express how important sleep can be. If you don't get enough sleep your body will be high in cortisol. A stress released hormone that can trigger your body to store fat. Keeping track of your sleep will help you with your fitness goals.
Another awesome feature with the phone is that it actually has a heart rate sensor that allows you to instantly measure your heart rate and record it. This is great when training because it allows you to check if you are working in the right zone for your goals when you are doing an intense training or cardio session.
I also use the food recording within the S Health application. This can let you see what you are eating and how many calories are in it. Its great to achieve your goals. Whats also really cool is that if you haven't recorded anything for the day it will ask you if you feel like tracking your food? It will also remind you. Which is great if you are as busy as I am and often forget.
