I want to make an indoor pond with a waterfall and some fish, i also want the garden to have bamboo and various bushes and unique trees so i can get the japanese style look. How much will it cost.

Well a huge part of your question is how much the matierals are that you want to use. Some plants can be really reasonable and others can be expensive. What kind of fish you use will also made a difference in your bottom line because like Koi fish are more expensive than Gold fish. And what about the rock you use in the design.

What I would do is make a list of all the materials down to the decorative rock, pond pumps and everything to maintain your pond. Go to a garden center and find out about the plants and how much they will run you and also find out if you have options for instance if you want a tree somewhere in the mix sometimes a smaller, younger tree than you eventually want may cost less than the tree the exact size you want.

I would think you could easily be out 10,000.00 or more but, you really won’t know until you price everything out. And I would price everything out and then double it. Just because unexpected things happen and sometimes things simply end up costing more than you realise or you decide to go for a different plant or fish than you originally priced.

Hope that helps…Good luck and have fun with your renovation.

I would like to know if there are any scientifically backed benefits of having indoor plants.

Living plants indoors remove toxins from the air and increase oxygen. The aesthetic benefits are equally important especially in winter months when things outside seem dead and cold.

What is different about the indoor cat food formula and should cats that are indoors or mostly indoors be eating it? Thanks!
i saw a brand natural balance that had an indoor formula..i started feeding my cats innova but it’s so expensive so i wanted to mix innova + natural balance..
thanks RuneAm, lol those companies are good at lowering the cost to make it and making that look like its something good! i thought some special vitamins were added or something.

To give the best answer, I’d have to compare actual brands. But to summarize, very little is different. The indoor formulas may have slightly lower calories but that’s about it.

It’s in no way an official label – it’s really pretty much meaningless.

I have found that the better cat foods don’t use these labels at all, so to answer your question I’d say no – don’t feed anything that claims to target a specific breed or age of cat.

I’m going to compare Iams products (not a brand I would ever recommend).

Indoor formula contains:
Ingredients
Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Grits, Corn Meal, Dried Beet Pulp (Sugar Removed), Powdered Cellulose, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Chicken, Dried Egg Product, Natural Chicken Flavor, Chicken Fat (Preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E), Sodium Bisulfate, Potassium Chloride, DL-Methionine, Fish Oil (Preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E), Brewers Dried Yeast, Choline Chloride, Salt, Dicalcium Phosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin A Acetate, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Thiamine Mononitrate (Source of Vitamin B1), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Source of Vitamin B6), Vitamin B12 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement (Source of Vitamin B2), Inositol, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid), Minerals (Zinc Oxide, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Cobalt Carbonate), L-Carnitine, Rosemary Extract

Original (chicken) contains:
Ingredients
Chicken, Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Grits, Corn Meal, Chicken Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E, and Citric Acid), Fish Meal (source of fish oil), Dried Beet Pulp (sugar removed), Natural Chicken Flavor, Dried Egg Product, Sodium Bisulfate, Potassium Chloride, DL-Methionine, Brewers Dried Yeast, Choline Chloride, Vitamins [Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin A Acetate, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Thiamine Mononitrate (source of vitamin B1), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (source of vitamin B6), Vitamin B12 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement (source of vitamin B2), Inositol, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid], Calcium Carbonate, Minerals [Zinc Oxide, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Cobalt Carbonate], Salt, Rosemary Extract.

Original has more protein – lowering the protein is NOT a good thing. It claims 433 calories per cup.

Indoor claims 303 calories per cup. It’s lower in protein and fat (not a good thing). They’ve removed the meat! They’ve saved on calories by removing anything remotely healthy.

If a gun were held to my head and I was told to feed Iams, I’d choose the original formula. It’s still horrendously bad food, but at least there’s some healthy stuff in it.

So to sum up – don’t feed indoor formulas. If your cat needs to lose weight or you need to keep an eye on that, there are much better things you can do.

EDIT: NB is a decent brand of food. You’ll do fine with that, I think.

Any specifics?

Cause I really need brand new shoes PLUS shoes for soccer season (indoor).

I am very intrested in Nike Total 90 shoots (the one with 90 on the "strike zone")
Are they confortable even with the hard top?

Thank please make your answers more than a Yes or No.

yes.I wear my ADIDAS Sambas all the time and then use them for soccer in the winter, it breaks them in evenmore.

Its my first time playing indoor soccer and I’m not quite sure what the differences are in the rules any help?

one is indoor and one is outdoor

I want to grow herbs for cooking and teas in small containers on an indoor window ledge. I do not know where to begin. Where can I find supplies or a starter kit? Any tips?

Don’t laugh but I got the Chia Herb garden at Xmas and the herbs are doing really well. Other then that..just get some good potting mix in little pots.

i heard that in germany, they switch on heater indoor .may i know how warm they will on till? is it advisable to wear long johns?

Many (or even most) Germans like an indoor temperature of 21-22°C in their living rooms, and in their bedrooms, some 16-18°C. That’s way too cold for me. I prefer 25-26°C in BOTH, but most Germans will tell you that it’s healthier to sleep in cooler rooms. I don’t agree with that.

In flats with central heating, you’ll maybe encounter something that’s called the "Nachtabsenkung": lowering the temperature of the central heating at night to save, as they say, energy. Which is absolute BS, as it doesn’t save anything, because the big water boiler has to be heated up again the next morning, consuming more energy than is saved. But in some houses, they’ll automatically switch the heating to a low temperature between 10 pm and 5 am. Sometimes it helps to complain, like I once did when I was working nightshift. My landlord agreed to have the heating re-adjusted, because 10 pm was "morning" to me.

If you have full adjustable heating in your apartment (like most people have), you can adjust it from 5°C to 37°C or more.

Outside, in late november it can really be advisable to wear long johns. Or, as I do, I wear a pair of underpants, one pair of those stretchy jeans instead of long johns, and a regualr pair of jeans over it. Two pairs of socks are recommended, as well as warm shoes. Sneakers are not only cold, but they have soles that mostly will get slippery when there is snow or ice. One t-shirt as underwear, two sweaters, a vest, and a jacket (mine is a leather jacket) are also recommended. It gets dark at 5 pm, so walk where streets are lit well, or wear or carry something reflective, as we have crazy car and bicycle drivers around here, to avoid accidents.

But, on the other hand, you might be lucky and experience some rather bright and sunny days, where you don’t need so much clothing. That’s central European climate, always good for a surprise.

The cat is about 1 year old or so. He has been mainly an indoor cat. He escaped about 24 hours ago. We looked for several hours yesterday with no luck. We have a live trap from the animal shelter set up. We set out some food and sprinkled catnip around the area. My major concern is that a bad winter storm is approaching this area. It is supposed to snow 1" – 3" tonight and then an additional 5"- 8" tomorrow.
Any other advice or hints?

My best advice is to keep calling for him and continue to search the area. Check with the shelter daily. Setting out food is a good idea but make sure it is in plain view so if he comes to eat you can look at a window and notice your cat easily. I would ask some neighbors as well. When a cat escapes they can be hard to find. I hope you find your kitty.
