Dinosaur Farts Caused Jurassic Global Warming [Science]

A lot of dinosaurs were big eating machines. Now, scientists have calculated how much gas they would have expelled as a result of their digestion—and the quantities they produced probably meant that they warmed their own climate through letting rip. More »

Romney and Santorum meet in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH (AP) ? Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has met with former rival Rick Santorum.

Friday's meeting in Pittsburgh came nearly a month after the former Pennsylvania senator left the race, clearing the way for Romney to become the nominee. Santorum represented Pittsburgh when he was in the House.

Details on what they discussed were not immediately available.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, is working to shore up support with Republican conservatives, many of whom backed Santorum. Many socially conservative voters were uncomfortable with Romney's changed position on issues, including abortion.

Santorum's presidential run helped him build new clout as a conservative leader and could offer him another opportunity to run for president.

Choosing the Pet Food that may Enhance Your Pet?s Health

?

It?s understandable we all love our pets, and that we wish to make sure that they live long and balanced lives. We bring them to the vet for their checkups and shots, we spay and neuter them to help reduce the animal population, and we open our hearts as well as our homes to them. We are subjected to a steady flow of pet food commercials, each and every company attempting to encourage us that their pet food is superior to the others. The unfortunate truth, though, is that not all pet food companies possess your precious animal?s best interests at heart.

?

The truth is, a lot of the dog/cat food available on the market is not nutrient heavy; instead, it relies mainly on fillers and animal byproducts. Look closely at the list of elements for the pet food you may have on hand. Even so-called high quality brand pet foods have things that will take you aback. If you want to learn more information, you should click here: fish oil for dogs.

?

The first five elements listed commonly make up the lion?s share of the pet food. Leading cat food and dog food brands will include things like chicken by-product meal, corn grits, corn meal or corn gluten meal, and wheat flour or wheat gluten. An ideal diet for cats is one that?s human grade. As an example, cat food need to have a concentrated, high-quality protein source just like chicken meal, ground brown rice, rice flour, chicken fat, and dried beet pulp. Dog food need to contain the same ingredients, apart from replacing oat groats for rice flour.

?

The list of ingredients in your dog/cat food may be shocking, however it is also surprising to find out that even top quality brands do not usually include ingredients which will sustain your pet?s health and durability.

?

Exactly what are some of these ingredients? For dogs and cats, nutritious food will include vegetables and fruits, which contain antioxidants, and also fiber, vitamins, and phytonutrients. It must also include direct-fed microbials ? the sorts of microbials that are found in yogurt which help retain good health. Also, omega-3 fatty acids should be incorporated into a nutritious pet food, both since they support health and since they keep your pet?s coat shiny. When you want to know more information about this topic, then simply visit this site ? top dogfood brands ingredients.

?

When you contrast the way we eat with exactly how our pets eat, it becomes apparent that the grade of their food is best. Naturally, we eat a wide array of foods, and may constantly supplement our diets with vitamins if we skip on the vegetables or fruit. Our pets, on the other hand, take in the same food day in and day out for almost all of their lives, with a few extra treats from time to time; if there?s an important nutrient lacking, they do not have a chance to eat it elsewhere.

?

Life?s prosperity is meant to be shared. Our pets give us so much unconditional love that the least we can do in turn is give them human grade, nutritious pet food that will make sure that they improve our lives for many years. For more details on this special topic, I want you to check this out: this site.

Epic Basketball FAIL: The Best Dunk Attempt Ever

And by best, we mean worst.

It not unclear where this took place, or why the fella below was even handed the task, but during a break in the action at what looks like an NBA game, he attempted to jump off a small trampoline for a slam dunk, only to fall a few meters short.

This guy might not want to quit his day job. Unless this is his day job, in which case he should hope he lives in a liberal state with good unemployment benefits.

32-inch 'LaserSaber' lights up your Star Wars dreams, burns the curtains (video)

If you enjoyed all those not-at-all tiresome "May the 4th be with you" tweets yesterday, then this is likely right up your equatorial trench. Wicked Lasers, makers of the eye-meltingly powerful S3 Krypton laser has developed a $100 attachment for the same that will bring a few not-so-little boys' dreams true. The ahem LaserSaber add-on takes the pin-sharp beam of light from the company's S3 range of lasers, and sends it down a 32" polycarbonate "blade". A so called magnetic gravity system imitates the powering-up and down of those other famous sabers, but they stopped at adding sound effects. Bear in mind, you're still dealing with imperial levels of light here, so dueling is most definitely not recommended, but if you want the nearest thing to the real deal, remember, May the 5th we told you.
