Read on to find out the real facts of general myths such as: By products are rotten inedible & discarded animal parts, corn is a filler and is sickly digested, raw food is better than dry food, corn induces allergy, dry food induces bloating, excessive protein causes hot spot and etc.

MYTHS of pet food

Myth 1: By-products are bad, uneatable & discarded animal parts Fact 1: By-products are sometimes included in pet food as it is a very good source of protein. It is not bad and spoilt meat but actually comprises of animal body parts like feet, neck, kidney, stomach etc. These are common animal body parts that are commonly eaten by Chinese (Eg. Kway Chap & Pig Stomach soup).

Myth 2: Corn is a filler and poorly digested Fact 2: Corn can be badly digested if given in its physical form. In fact, if you give your pet a piece of fresh corn, it would most likely be indigestible and reappear in its stools. However, the corn seen in pet food is “Ground Corn” which means that it is finely grounded and handled carefully to help determine digestibleness. Ground corn can be more than 98% digestible. Corn is an greatest root of complex carbohydrates, contains linoleic acid for healthy skin and coat, provides for essential amino acids and has fiber.

Myth 3: Corn Gluten meal is bad Fact 3: Corn gluten meal is not corn. It is a acceptable source of protein (60%-64%) and also it is a effective urine acidifier to prevent/help urinary tract problems in our pets

Myth 4: Animal origin proteins are better than proteins from plants and grains Fact 4: No single source of protein is perfect and no one source contains all essential amino acids. Animal and plant sources are good sources of protein. For instance, soyabean meal (high in methionine) complements chicken (low in methionine). The deviation is that true meat is a highly palatable protein source. The first ingredient for all PRO PLAN cat and dog products (except urinary tract health formula for cats-first ingredient is corn gluten meal as it is a good urine acidifier) are true chicken, turkey, lamb or salmon. This is why PRO PLAN is highly palatable and we assure that your dog/cat will love it.

Myth 5: BARF (Raw Food) is better than dry food Fact 5: Raw food diets Commonly are not perfect and balanced Danger of infection and pollution - Salmonella is very life-threatening to both pets and humans and can be seen in the feces of pets. Bones can get stuck in your pets mouth

Myth 6: Cooking destructs enzymes and nutrients Fact 6: Cooking is advantageous. Cooking: Changes the digestibility of nutrients Changes structure of amino acids Breaks down non-nutritional components to increase digestibility Kills bacteria and parasites Dogs construct their own enzymes needed to digest food and utilize nutrients like protein. Also manufacturers of high quality pet foods sustain safety tolerances developed into formulations. Any nutritional loss in PRO PLAN during preparation and storage is reported for and will always be added back to assure high quality in our pet food.

Myth 7: Corn drives allergies Fact 7: 10 different studies, representing 253 dogs Roundebush, Guilford , Shanely(2000) Adverse Reactions to Food, Small Animal Clinic Nutrition (4 th edition) Beef, dairy products and wheat account for 65% of all reported events of food allergic reactions Chicken, egg, lamb and soy account for 25% of all reported cases of food allergies Only 6 confirmed (2.4%) cases of allergic reactions to corn

Honeymoon Choices Should Reflect Individual Tastes

Unexampled opportunities for spending time together about at just the right honeymoon spot, but how do you go about finding it? Sure, the wedding planning most likely has left you in the know when it comes to the perfect caterer or finding the most beauteous cakes known to man, yet when it comes to that perfect honeymoon spot, opinions differ far and wide.

By general consensus, a honeymoon spot that offers you the together time you crave without a lot of distraction and high pressure excitement is one that will permit you to either relax from the exhausting wedding prep you underwent the last few months, or gives you the opportunity to get out and experience everything the venue has to offer. The availability of choice - including the choice to do nothing other than soak in a tub of hot warm water - is a premier characteristic of the perfect spot.

Even as you spend a lot of time sampling caterers’ wares and dessert options, it is wise to also spend the time and effort on discussing the perfect honeymoon spot with your future spouse to make sure that you are both on the same page when it comes to choosing what kind of activities most interest you and how you feel you can get close to the other person. To some this is a trip in the Colorado Rockies while for others it may be a week at the Maldives. Some will enjoy the museums of New York City while others will love the small town charm of Aspen.

In addition to spending time together, relaxing and getting to know each other more closely, the perfect honeymoon spot will also offer other activities, such as shopping, gambling, snorkeling, and extreme sports. Depending on the many different tastes and preferences you and your spouse may either share or have individually, compromise is important to ensure that each part of the married couple has their needs met.

Above and beyond entertainment and enjoyment is of course the goal of making memories together as a married couple. These memories will cement your relationship and set you up for a good start so that when things go back to normal and the every day life beckons, you will be prepared to deal with whatever life may bring your way. Memories can be made in a tent in the Smoky Mountains just as they may be created in a five star resort in Mexico or on the beach at the French Riviera. Do not be misled into spending more money than you can afford in pursuit of those perfect spots! Instead, find a location that will allow you to focus on each other and on your new relationship and then revel in the fact that you are now man and wife. The rest, as they say, is details.

Xbox Cheats: Finding Secrets

Recently, we were playing an old Star Wars game for the original Xbox and drifting slowly into abject tediousness. We had this game for two years and solved it within the first three months of owning it. We had solved it, but we had never found all the hidden pods on each level. This glaring violation of our obsessive compulsive bent could have been resolved with a few choice Xbox cheats.

Happily armed with a bevy of cheats, we (that’s me and little sister Magee) have moved on to sweep our game collection, which includes such gems as Revenge of the Sith and Need for Speed. Unfortunately, we know many of you are sitting on hundreds of games that have yet to be unlocked. Get the most bang for your buck, especially with the original Xbox games, and cheat all the games you have. The August 12th release of madden NFL 09 is the last - you heard me - last game for the original Xbox. From here on out, its all Xbox 360!

The good news is the original Xbox games can still be played on the 360. Well, most of them anyway. And there should be a charming graphics improvement, thanks to the super hard drive wired into the Xbox 360. So, all those glorious original Xbox cheats are still viable points of light leading the way to gaming nirvana.

The bottom line with games is that we all get bent out of shape by the hard levels. It’s no fun to get splattered over and over again by the same alien overlord or tough guy boss-man. Time is of the essence - especially for players who have job jobs. Save yourself the time and headaches and crack open a fresh can of Xbox cheats.

If you haven’t used them before, today is the perfect time to start. I know you can beat the game sans any help - sure, sure. Say, how many of you fine gamers were thwarted by trying to beat both the elephants and the dragon at the same time in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King? Anyone? Thought so. Save yourself the stress and revel in the splendor of Xbox cheats.

A swimming pool can provide families with hours of entertainment and the opportunity for healthy recreation. However, unless care is taken, swimming pools can prove very dangerous. The sad fact is that it takes just thirty seconds for a child to drown. It is for this reason that pool covers can be so valuable.

Swimming pool covers are in great demand and are beneficial for commercial and home pools. It is very useful for indoor as well as outdoor swimming pools. Pool cover is one of the most important swimming pool accessories for pool owners. Every year, several accidents occur due to children and pets falling in to unguarded and uncovered pools. A swimming pool without an appropriate pool cover may prove to be life threatening in such cases.

A basic plastic pool cover should be enough if all you want to do is keep dirt and leaves out of your swimming pool. Some hard plastic covers are very sturdy and will keep just about any unwanted items out of your pool.

As a result, the pool can be used for a longer time. Besides, less energy is required to heat the water leading to lower heating costs. Pool covers also control water loss and subsequently the loss of vital chemicals present in the water. It also reduces the use of ventilation and exhaust fans in case of indoor swimming pools. This leads to considerable reduction of air-heating costs in indoor pools.

Vinyl covers offer addition security for your pool, as they operate via key. These covers offer good insulation for a pool and should keep your water nice and warm. Vinyl is a very popular type of swimming pool cover, and for good reason.
