I would conjecture the reason there are 30-day CDs is so you can have very liquid assets. Buying a 30 day CD with cash you dont immediately need would be slightly profitable, because you would recieve  marginal interest.

Of course, the shorter the CD, the less the interest rate, so naturally a 30 day CD is rediculously low. This is better than nothing however.

Would it help your credit? Well it wont hurt it, but wont help a whole lot either.

You will need a RCA to 1/8″ headphone jack cable and a MP3 encoder with the option of recording from your line-in. I use Musicmatch. There are some expensive alternatives if you are fancy. This will still get the job done though.

Attach the output of your stereo amplifier to the back of the PC.

In MusicMatch, select the desired bitrate for the MP3s. 128 Kbps will work. If you want to make it a little higher quality – try 160bps or 192bps. It’ll take up a little more room, but hard drives are cheap.

Set the recorder source to Line In. To set your recording level, play the cassette or record and open up your computer’s Recording Control. (You’ll find that under Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices). Drag your mouse up or down on the slider to adjust the recording volume. You’ll have to listen back to the recording to check out the volume before you’re satisfied that it’s not too quiet or overmodulated.

Sheltering under an underpass is actually a myth. It is not recommended by the National Weather Service.  A strong tornado will  not be stopped. The major tornado in Oklahoma Cit, the F5, killed many under underpasses with 300 mile an hour debri, or simple sucked them out and shot them across the landscape.

If the tornado is visible to you, and its not moving towards you, relax. If it is heading toward you, and you have time yet, drive away, using right angles. Example if it is heading east, travel north or south. If its close, look for underground shelter, a dip in the ground. Your car will be thrown around, so you dont want to stay in it, or very near it.

Its really dependant on the type of tank you have, there are a few types, but we will discuss the most common ones. The two most common are the small aquarium and the simple fish bowl.

***Fish Bowl***

Carefully remove the fish, and put him/her in a seperate container. Run the bowl under water and be certain to get the garbage and such out of the rocks.  Fill with room temperature water,  add vitamins and dechlorinator. In 30 minutes let the fish go back to his/her home.

Goldfish actually do poorly in a bowl. They need more room, and more air. Siamese fighting fish do well in this environment however.

***Small Aquarium***

Aquariums should not get completely emptied. Weekly you should change 20-30% of the total water and simply replace it with clean water. If you get a siphon tool with a gravel cleaner you have a very simple and efficient way to keep your tank clean. Remember to use dechlorinated water!

Also soap  in aquariums is a big NONO. If you must scrub, use salt.

Remember use partial water changes to keep your fish healthy and happy.
