Can you put Chinese Algae Eaters in a koi pond to keep it sanatary???? OR will the koi eat them???

---

I don’t think that would be such a good idea, even if it’s a heated pond. If the CAE is large enough to be doing much good at cleaning algae for an area the size of a pond, it’s to large to be really interested in algae and also large enough to be adding significantly to the waste.

i would think no, but snails are a better bet in my opinion, as are some shrimp.

The koi will not eat the algae eaters. Koi, as a general rule, do not eat other fish, as long as they are big enough to be recognized as a fish (i.e., at least an inch or so long).

I have used plecostamus as an algae eater in an outdoor pond before, but recognize that it will die as soon as temperatures get below 55-60 degrees. Also, you need a lot of room – if the fish can’t get away from it, and it doesn’t have enough algae to eat, it will nip the fins of the koi! And, their waste does add to the filter load of the pond, in general – they add a lot of ammonia for not being much to look at. Their algae-clearing ability was OK – nothing to rave about, but decent, I guess.

However, larger koi can and do like to eat snails, so I am not certain that snails will solve your algae problem, either. Tried that for algae control, too – they did a decent job, but only lived in the waterfalls because the koi picked the pond clean of them.

Significant algae growth is a sign of a lot of nutrients in the water – it is possible you either a) are feeding your koi too much, or b) don’t have enough plants in your pond that will absorb some of that ammonia through their roots. As a general rule, you should have plant material equal to about 2/3 of the surface of your pond (a combination of submerged oxygen generators, ornamentals such as lily and iris, and floaters such as water hyacinth and water lettuce, etc.). If you don’t like the plants in your pond itself, build a "veggie filter" about 1/3 the size of your pond and stock it full of heavy feeders like species iris (the yellow water iris) – circulate your pond water through the veggie filter before cycling it back into your pond. This is by far the most effective method of controlling algae that we have tried so far – our fish have never looked better.

Hope this helps – good luck!

I am in my mid-20s, fresh out of college with a unrelated history degree and is looking to take the NASD exams. I did take a couple of courses in Econ in college and is currently taking some finance classes at a local community college. I was wondering if it is possible for someone like me, with no previous finance knowledge or background to pass the NASD exams. And if it is even worth trying. Thanks.

Yes. Passtrak use to have very good self study guides, with practice exams that seemed almost verbatim on the actual exams.

Yes, you can pass the test. A good start if you have decent knowledge about investments.

There are week long courses that basically teach you everything you need to pass the test.

I believe you need to be sponsored by a member firm to take the test. (I think!). If you have a degree in anything and have good people skills it should be fairly easy to get hired by one of the investment firms in your area. They will train you and send you to school (or have their own) for the NASD exams.

I go to a community college in my area. I am currently taking English two with the same professor I had last semester. Everyone in my class is pretty much within the age range of 18-23 with the exception of one who is almost 50. Because she is older and has not been in an English class for awhile, I help her and try to be her friend. She was ok in the beginning until she started talking about her bad life with her husband. She is depressed and complains about the class a lot in front of the professor and other students. I think this is very rude. She even complains in front of her to me and trys to get a response out of me but I just give a dull smile. I don’t want my professor to think I hate her class because I love it and that’s why I took her again. This lady misses class all of the time because she is "so depressed" and calls me and wants me to read and correct her papers. I am barely getting time to do my own. I feel bad..but I can’t stand hearing her complain anymore.
Her husband is not abusive or anything…she just married a lazy guy. She cries in class all of the time and I am beginning to think there is something wrong with her.
Cassie…you didn’t even read my question…thanks…

You gotta shake her loose and get on with what you need to be doing. We all have our troubles but don’t have the right to off load them onto other people in this way. Some people are in serious emotional places and some are seriously weird, you need to decide which she is. If you decide on weird, create some distance, something tells me if you told her you didn’t have time to read her papers because you have your own to do she would be a bit p….. off and back off. If she needs emotional support a gentle shove in the direction of someone who is able to help her would be appropriate. Also let your professor know of your concerns, it may help you make a decision and put your mind at rest. Your studying and need to be able to what you are there to do. Good luck.

She should go on a stress leave / hire an assistant. Or not teach at all, but that would be kind of harsh.

I do feel bad for her; but if she truly is unhappy with her husband she should divorce him. Basically, make some changes.

Also, you have a right to tell her that you don’t want to help her correct papers because you don’t have time for yourself. But also tell her you took her class again for a reason…

She sound contagious after reading you. Ignore her, she sounds like a player who wants to be heard, while puting people in certain cituations to watch the aftermath. She must get very board. thats sad. Im sorry

26.10.09
John Pilipchuk, western regional manager for the N.C. Department of Transportation?s Geotechnical Engineering Unit, said this afternoon that geologists continue to investigate the site, but the slide exposed a weak point in the underlying rocks. The slide occurred at mile marker 3.

?At this specific spot, what you have is two planes in the rock,? Pilipchuk said, explaining that where the two planes come together, the rock forms an intersection or joint that creates a wedge. ?Then, with water getting in there, you get freeze-thaw activity, and that creates expansion.?

While the depth of the joint varies, it looks to be about 20 feet deep. The rock in that area appears to be metagraywacke, a common ?metasediment? type rock that is fairly nondescript and not necessarily any more prone to cracking than granite.

?A lot more of what contributes to this is the tectonic part of it ? the cracks, the joints in the rock,? Pilipchuk said. ?When you have a failure like this, you look for planes in the rock. When you look for it now, it?s all nicely exposed. When the planes come together like that, it?s an area you need to bolt or remove.?

This year?s heavy rainfalls ? so far this year Asheville has recorded 45.25 inches, 6.06 above normal ? may have contributed to the rock failure, but they don?t know that for sure, Pilipchuk said. Freeze-thaw cycles that can cause expansions and cracks also could be a contributing factor.

Geologists on site, including Pilipchuk, are surveying the site this afternoon and will formulate a repair strategy with their DOT engineering counterparts.

See Tuesday’s Citizen-Times for more details on this developing story.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium on my computer right now. It was pre-loaded on the machine. I’d like to upgrade it to Windows 7. I am also planning on buying a Mac. Will I be able to load the Windows 7 upgrade version on that also? Thanks in advance for your help.

---

not the upgrade, you will need the full install. The upgrade is for computers that all ready have windows installed.

Tired Trucker | Oct 17, 2009

Usually, you can install an upgrade as a clean install if you have a disk for your older OS, it will ask you to insert the disk when you install to verify that you own the older OS. But check with Apple, there may be special requirements for boot camp.
Josh | Oct 17, 2009

you cannot install the upgrade onto the mac. all macs comes with bootcamp witch will allow you to run windows on a mac computer but you will need a full installation cd
J-Dog | Oct 17, 2009

The upgrade discs need to see a prior genuine Windows install to go in.

Each key usually activates on only one machine too, so you’d need a second purchase for the Mac install anyway.

I dont think so.. as Windows 7 is developed to target the market share of Mac OS users

SO I just now watched two New Moon clips from what looked like cell phones from people in a movie theater. One where Bella is running to stop Edward form coming out into the light, and the other from Jacob teaching Bella to ride the motorcycle. So where did these clips come from? How did these people get them? Are there any sites that anyone knows of that shows videos of the on set filming, or any more clips like the two I saw? Thanks!

they were from comic con =D

By reading the guidelines about the school it only pays for tuition but the student has to pay for the the books. But one of the counselors I talked to said finacial aid should cover everything that’s if I don’t get enough money to pay for my books.

---

Very, very few colleges or universities include the costs of textbooks in their tuition. Your bill that you will get from the college includes the tuition cost (pay the professor, operating costs, etc.), room and board (the minimum double oocupancy 20×20 room and a meal plan consisting of 100% fat and starch in a barely edible form) and miscellaneous charges for activities fees and such. Books are almost always extra, as each professor chooses what texts he wants to use. Of course they will pick the most expensive books. That is why they are mentioning financial aid. You can get any number of grants or loans to cover these costs. That is, if you qualify for financial aid. You literally have to be from a family that is barely above poverty level in order to get the small amount they offer you. When you finish the course and prepare to sell your books back to the bookstore, you will be told that ither they are not buying back (teacher will not use book next year) or that you will receive a gracious amount equal to 10% of the original cost. Come back the next semester and you will find that your $100 book, which you sold back and got $15, is now being sold for $75.

Biggest scam in the history of higher education….

Your best bet is to talk to someone at the college in the admissions department and have them give you a better estimate of expected costs.

Financial Aid is based upon your financial needs. If they see you dont make or have that much money they generally include money for books and supplies into that calculation.

From my understanding, you have to pay the $60 a class for books up front.

A thing to look into though (I JUST found this out after attending classes for 5 weeks) is your financial aid. Make sure that you have enough funds when you start to complete 24 credits through the school. For example, I used part of my 2005/2006 funds at a different school and when I switched to Axia, I had roughly $4000 left in aid. Because that $4000 will not last the full 24 credits, I have to either stop taking classes or pull personal loans to cover tuition. NONE OF THIS WAS EXPLAINED UNTIL 5 WEEKS INTO THE COURSE WHEN I RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING TUITION WAS DUE NOW!

Please look into this carefully if you have attending another school recently. After numerous phone calls between the school and bank, I had to drop the classes because they are unable to pull 2006/2007 funds until after I finished 24 credits. If I had the money to pay for this, I wouldn’t have been dealing with the financial aid crap.
