Ann and her friend were very responsive in communication and left our house exceptionally clean. Unlike a number of guests, we were able to find everything--everything in its place!

Logan County, Ill., could lose millions of dollars in potential income if Congress fails to renew the renewable-energy Production Tax Credit, officials said. The uncertainty over the PTC could stall American Wind Energy Management's Sugar Creek Wind Farm, which was scheduled to start being constructed in 2013. Without the PTC, the wind project may not move forward, depriving the county of at least $1.15 million in permit fees alone, officials said.

Albert Cuyp - Street Markets, Amsterdam
28 Reviews
28 Reviews
Amsterdam is a wonderful town. You can do almost anything you fancy and no-one will deny. There are wonderful museums, with some of the worlds finest paintings and sculpture, the beautiful canals, the incredibly beautiful architecture,the lovely old churches, the palaces, one gould go on and on.
I particularly loved the little bars with wonderful beer, served with two fingers of head on the top(not done in The Land of Oz)
Then you go and choose your favourite blend of smoko.Coming from an anglo-culture , where there is much breast beating on this subject, I found the liberal attitude very refreshing. Friends who live there, tell me that the legality has lessened the crime rate..I'm not sure as I have never lived there.There are signs everywhere ,telling tourists to beware of pickpockets.
I also love the street markets where you can buy plants if you wish and ofcourse the absolutly beautiful Tulips.Afew days walking around the streets of Amsterdam is an absolue joy,but make sure you have comfortable shoes as cobblestones can be hard on the feet.
Albert Cuyp market is a huge market in the Pijp where you can buy groceries, clothes, flowers, household stuff, CD's and much more.
It is surrounded by African, Eastern and other little restaurants where you eat very well without paying much.
Wow, where to begin. This city has everything. I guess I'll list some of my favorites. Vondel Park (I actually saw a busker playing a rea rollable piano in the park) its is just a nice place to hang out on a summer day. The weekend markets like the one at Albert Cuypmarkt, though most neighborhoods I cam across had some sort of market.
Who loves to rummage around through a market is in Amsterdam at the right place. Offcourse you must visit the typical "Albert Cuypmarkt", where you will find almost everything for free, clothes, toys, antique but also books, records and lots of food.
But also the flea market at the "Waterlooplein" is worth it …
Last time we went to Amsterdam we downloaded an iPhone app called AmsterdamFUN which helped us easily find all the best museums, cafes, bike tours, snack bar, etc. It helped us discover fun places we would never have found - such as amazing markets, canal bike rentals, and more!
As metioned I'm a sucker for town squares. I'm also a sucker for local markets. Although we didn't buy anything, we had a great time looking around and having small bites to eat from the food stalls. It's not in the main part of town, but definitely within walking distance.
Albert Cyup market is kinda to the south of the central area of Amsterdam. Its closed on Sundays so plan accordingly. Its a long street and a bit congested for walking through but you get decent bargains(not so much for me as in India you can get similar stuff at same or lower price in trendy departmental stores)..plus some good street food like fresh waffles. I particularlyy liked some Vietnamese roll being soldd for some 1 euro or something which was yummy. I also spotted Peter Jan's store .. I am not sure if it belongs to our VT member but I guess I did... :)
Nas margens do magnifico anel de canais, construído à volta da cidade, encontramos casas nos mais variados estilos arquitectónicos.
A arquitectura de Amesterdão é revelada nos edifícios com empenas decorativas e cornijas e na ornamentação das portas e janelas.
As casas de canal eram inclinadas para evitar que as mercadorias armazenadas nos sótãos tombassem para o lado das janelas. Uma lei de 1565 determinou a inclinação de 1/25 para limitar o risco de as casas ruírem. Portanto, não deixe de reparar no facto dos prédios serem um pouco inclinados para frente e possuírem uma espécie de gancho no topo, utilizado, ainda hoje, para içar móveis para os andares superiores, uma vez que os edifícios para além de serem estreitos têm escadas íngremes.
This was about a 15 min walk from my hotel so I'd go for fresh fruit. If you're staying in an apartment and doing your own cooking, it also has meat and fish stands as well. Word of caution about the fish stand --when I walked by it, the smell was stronger than a fresh fish stand should smell like, so buy at your own risk. The fruit, however, was phenomenal. There was also a lot a junk, but it was still fun to browse.
The street where vendors now sell their wares used to be a canal. It was called the Zaagmolensloot ? the Lumber Mill Canal. The Albert Cuyp market was already popular around 1930. You really haven?t seen Amsterdam, if you haven?t been to this market. The vendors are known for their typical Amsterdam humor.
Here is a market that is a real live shopping market for the Amsterdamer. Everything from food,clothes and household items.
easygoing, causal, lots to see and buy. and cheaper than down in the center. AND you can buy large syrupy waffles hot off the griddle. yummy!
There are wonderfully colourful markets, selling everything, mainly flowers and bulbs. Definetely worth the walk.

Founded by an investment group headed by Giovanni Agnelli in 1899, the Italian Automobile Factory of Turin (Fabricca Italiania Auttomobili Torino) more generally known as Fiat, very quickly became the largest automobile manufacturer in Italy. This happened in 1910. Fiat has been the dominant Italian auto manufacturer ever since.
In the United States, Fiat was originally known for producing small, quirky, fun to drive cars with good fuel economy—if not exactly stellar reliability. The Fiat 1500 was quite popular in mid 1960s. Fiat's rear engined 850 models sold pretty well here in the early 1970s, which included an open two-seat sports car. The Fiat 124 sports car was the most notable Fiat model offered here in terms of sales—examples of which can still be seen running around today.
Fiat ultimately became the equivalent of GM in Italy, with a broad portfolio of brands under its umbrella. Today, Fiat owns or controls every major Italian automaker, save Lamborghini. These include Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lancia, Maserati, and of course, the Fiat brand.
After retreating from the U.S. market in 1984, Fiat has returned once again, this time as the owner of Chrysler.
Our Fiat reviews provide thorough, well-considered, unbiased expert analysis. They reflect the findings of a group of knowledgeable and dedicated professional automotive reviewers who have thoroughly road tested each new Fiat car you'll find reviewed here. The intention of Autobytel Fiat reviews is to enable the most informed purchase decisions possible by providing you with in-depth information regarding the technology, engineering, design, and special features of each of the new Fiat models.

Style Tip: Everyone's Wearing Mad Prints!
Monday 5:09 PM, 29/03/2010
Have you noticed the new trend in print dresses all over the place for this latest Spring season? Everyone has been trying them out, from Keira Knightley, to Lauren Conrad and Heidi Klum! Some of the prints are pretty florals like Kate Bosworth's Chanel dress, but others are a bit stranger...like Jessica Alba' and Kristen Stewart's Proenza Schouler cocktail outfits on the red carpet. What do you think of the trend, are you a fan?
Would you wear this trend?

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I've been working on a sans serif medium weight text font -- I've been proofing it roughly in illustrator (mac platform) and been pretty happy. I'm getting close to finished now and started looking at it in InDesign. And the hinting is just crazy weird.
In smaller sized, 10 and below, the overshoots on the rounded glyphs are really exaggerated, bouncing way below the baseline and way over the x height. It looks horrible on screen but still prints out just fine.
I have tried both FontLab's auto hinting and The ADFKO hinting macro and pretty much have the same problem.
Oddly, the hinting looks very nice in Word...
How do I correct this? I have looked at the manual and hinting by hand seems awfully daunting.
Have you applied appropriate vertical alignment (blue) zones in the font? Your baseline blue zone, for example, should cover both flat and overshoot shapes. Also, check that your BlueScale value setting conforms to recommendations.
Could be because most Adobe apps use a proprietary rasterizing engine…
I've been messing around with the alignment zone settings trying to see if they have any effect. I'll admit the recommendations from John (above) pretty much had my head spinning.
Aside from the basic hinting macro, I am wondering what is the point of dealing with it past that point if Adobe apps are going to do what they want regardless.
Except my font looks ugly in many sizes and resolutions. And it's NOT a particularly ugly font. So I will need to figure something out...
Yes, Adobe uses its own rasteriser, which is why the results may look different between Adobe and MS apps, but both make use of hinting to arrive at those results.
When creating your outlines, did you conform to PS font recommendations regarding nodes at extrema and outline efficiency? Hints interoperate with outline structure, and if you don't have nodes properly arranged the hints won't help and may produce errors.
I usually handle nodes at the extremas carefully. And it is easy to do with broad curves. with smaller shapes, if the extremes start messing with my outlines -- I occasionally ignore them. But not very often and not with this font.
I have been messing around with the blue vertical alignment zones in the hinting layer and futzed with some of the numbers in the additional hinting parameters fields.
Some results were better, some worse. It is a relief to know that Adobe doesn't ignore this stuff completely with it's proprietary rasterizer. I am hoping with a little more experimentation I can dial things in...
Try experimenting with the Blue Scale value (Hinting Settings > Additional Hinting Parameters).
It has quite an effect on the behavior you are describing.

I was trying to define a jqgrid column as a radio button group, but I could not. Anybody knows what I have to do? Please give me an example.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You can do this if you define custom formatter and custom unformatter. If you will need to edit the cells/rows with radio buttons you will have to implement also custom editing. You can do implemant all this, but I would not recommend to do this. I recommend you to conside to use select formatter instead and use it together with stype:'select'. Radio button group shows mostly the same information, but in more compact form. If you do need to use radio button then I would you recommend you to use there only during cell/row editing.

Le Mont Saint Michel
... its Kingdom, wow. Super excited now we jumped on the bus and headed out. It is truly a remarkable piece of architecture and dates back to 708AD, OMFG I was about to walk into something that is over 1,300 years old, how fricken cool. It is very gothic and very imposing. We wandered through the cobblestone village before heading through the house of the Knight Bertrand Duguesclin and his wife. Kinda tiny for a Knight and even his armour was small. I think he must have suffered from ...
... a dining room.
Just in one church wow, but there was a lot more to it.
That took about 3 hours, my brother, sister and I got really bored.
The next morning which was day two we went to 2 different places.
The first was Cancale and we walked around the coast line.
This place was very well known for catching oysters. My dad bought a ton of them.
And ...
... like 2 hours.
Today we went to old castle walls at St Malo and walked all the way around.
We passed a prison in the water.
But when it was low tide you could walk across to it.
here was a lot of big rocks to be climbed all over.
We climbed the most biggest and furthest away rock.
It was so fun to ...
... shells.
St Malo was a cool town surrounded by the old city walls.
We walked the 1.8km along the top of them taking loads of photos of the beautiful view.
The kids just had to climb over the rocks to get to the exposed island at low tide.
Riley and Jordan ran off to climb and the 6 yr old little girl followed, climbing all the slippery and big rocks.
I don't think ...
Saint Malo - Day 2
... and the village that grew up in the shadow of its great walls. Built between the 11th and 16th centuries, the abbey is a technical and artistic tour de force, having had to adapt to the problems posed by this unique natural site.

Dennis and Jennifer Socolovitch didn't have enough money on a gift card to fully pay for new work boots and socks after Monday's tornado, and the store gave them to Dennis for free.

I think the HP deal with Apple is a good synergy all round - however HP need to pull their socks up. They manufacture a wireless media receiver to stream the music on your hard drive to your hi-fi via a wireless network. It supports MP3 and WMA, but not AAC. Stupid.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on March 15, 2004 at 4:46 AM (CST)
I emailed HP tech support and asked them if they were going to support AAC with their other programs such as Memory Disk Creator. They said AAC songs would have to be converted to a format that Memory Disk Creator would work with (mp3, wav, aiff).
Once again stupid.

Lightly floral and fresh, this offers pretty notes of ripe Gala apple and glazed apricot, layered with subtle hints of almond paste, piecrust, honey and ground spice. Shows fine balance and a lively mousse, leading to a lingering finish. Drink now through 2018. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
(11/ 2013)
If never as far reaching and complex as those bottlings allowed extra time on the years, Feuilllatte's basic Brut is a complete and carefully crafted Champagne of fine balance and brightness. Its lightly yeasty elements are nicely matched by a trim bit of citrusy fruit, and both its energetic mousse and its keen sense of focus are sustained to the end. And, its very reasonable price earns it an extra tip of the hat.
(12/ 2013)
Light yellow. Lemon zest, white pepper and a touch of mint on the nose. Dry and spicy, with a slightly rigid quality to its bitter citrus pith and quince flavors. On the tart side, with the white pepper note repeating on the nervy finish. (JR)
(1/ 2015)
This non-vintage is a stylish wine, well balanced with its acidity, and concentrated with grapefruit and apple flavors. While light on the palate, its very fruitya style that is best drunk now without further bottle age.

Busty Brunette Emma Glover Gets Naked And Shows Her Perfect Boobs!
"I love my boobs," says the 30G Essex beauty. "They're perfectly symmetrical. And I've got good nipples. Some girls' are too high, low, big or small. Mine are just right."
That they are. So, here's a bit more about the self-titled "Glovebox"…
Hello, Emma! You're a brunette with boobs. Why should we be celebrating that?
Well we're a smarter, more mysterious bunch, I guess. We get away with a bit more, too.
Like what?
Like hacking your friend's Twitter account.
Isn't that a criminal offence?
Not when you leave it open on my computer! My point is that a blonde wouldn't have gotten away with it. I told everyone how great @MissEmmaGlover was and that they should follow her. And they did!

An incinerator for combusting sludge or the like is supplied with combustion air which is mixed with 5-40% by weight of a high-humidity, low-oxygen-concentration gas for adjustment of the excess ratio of combustion air and control over burning of nitrogen oxides in the incinerator. The gas is supplied from a predrier for drying the sludge or comprises a gas discharged from the incinerator.
1. A process of combustion of particulate or powdery materials such as dried sludge, which comprises feeding said material to a predrier in which said material is dried by hot combustion products of a direct flame furnace to produce predried material and high-humidity low oxygen content exhaust gas, discharging said predried material from said predrier to a fluidized-bed incinerator, separately supplying to said incinerator an air-gas mixture comprising air and from 5-40% by weight of said high-humidity low oxygen content exhaust gas from said predrier, to thereby adjust the excess ration of combustion air and burn nitrogen oxides in the incinerator.
2. A process according to claim 1, in which a portion of the exhaust gas from said predrier is supplied to said direct flame furnace.
3. A process according to claim 1 or 2 in which the exhaust gas from said predrier is heated in a heat exchanger by combustion products of said incinerator.
4. A process according to claim 1 in which air and exhaust gas from said predrier are fed into a second direct-flame furnace in which the air-gas mixture is heated before being fed into the fluidized bed furnace as combustion air.
5. A process according to claim 1, in which exhaust gas from said predrier is passed through a cyclone which removes therefrom solids which are fed to said incinerator with said predried material.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a process of combusting a particulate or powdery material in a fluidized-bed furnace or incinerator.
2. Prior Art
Fluidized-bed incinerators burn particulate or powdery materials such as dried sludge while being suspended in an upward stream of combustion air introduced through the bottom of the incinerator. A material to be burned is continuously fed into the incinerator in which a fluidized-bed is generated. When finely divided solids are supplied in too small an amount, no sustained combustion is possible, and conversely when the amount of the material supplied is too great, the temperature within the incinerator becomes so high that clinker is formed in the incinerator. To cope with such a problem, it has been customary to continuously detect the temperature in the incinerator and control the supplied amount of the solid material such that the interior of the incinerator will be normally in the range of from 700� C. to 1,000� C. during combustion. It is known that ordinary sludge in order to be burned with an stoichiometric amount of air should be combusted at a stoichiometric temperature of approximately from 1,600� C. to 1,800� C. It follows that to burn the solid material at a temperature ranging from 700� C. to 1,000� C., an amount of air which is about twice as much as a stoichiometric amount of air is needed resulting in a tendency for nitrogen oxides to be formed and discharged during the burning process.
Air to be introduced into a fluidized-bed incinerator for combusting sludge or the like is mixed with 5-40% by weight of a high-humidity, low-oxygen-concentration gas to thereby adjust the excess ratio of combustion air down to 1.1-1.4 and burn nitrogen oxides in the incinerator. The gas may either be supplied from a predrier which dries the sludge to be combusted in the incinerator or comprise a gas discharged from the incinerator.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a process of combustion in a fluidized-bed incinerator with control over the excess ratio of combustion air and burning of nitrogen oxides.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrative of a process according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagram of a process according to another embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a graph showing the stoichiometric combustion temperature as a function of air ratio; and
FIG. 4 is a graph showing an air ratio and a NOx concentration as a function of mixture ratio.
As shown in FIG. 1, hot-air drier or predrier 10 is supplied with a sludgy material to be combusted which is dried therein by a hot air introduced from a direct-flame furnace 11 having a low-excess-air burner (not shown) for heating a reciculated gas (later described) and fresh air introduced from an air blower 12. The dried sludge is discharged downwardly from a duct 13 connected to the predrier 10, while at the same time a high-temperature exhaust gas is discharged upwardly from the duct 13. The discharged exhaust gas is fed into a cyclone 14 in which suspended fine particles are separated and removed from the gas. The exhaust gas is then fed into a heat exchanger 16 for being heated thereby. A portion of the heated exhaust gas from the heat exchanger 16 is fed back through line 31 controlled by valve 32 into the direct-flame furnace 11 for reciculation. By being thus recirculated, the exhaust gas is of a high temperature, a high humidity, and a low oxygen content.
Another portion of the exhaust gas fed through line 33 controlled by valve 34 is mixed with fresh air supplied by line 35 controlled by valve 36 and the mixture is fed by a blower 20 into a direct-flame furnace 21 wherein the air-gas mixture is heated before it is fed into a fluidized-bed incinerator 17 as combustion air.
The dried sludge discharged from the duct 13 together with solids from the cyclone 14 is fed through a sludge feeder 18 into the incinerator 17 wherein the sludge is combusted to produce ash which is discharged out of the incinerator 17 through an overflow outlet 19.
A portion of the air-gas mixture from the blower 20 is fed through line 37 controlled by valve 38 and is introduced into a freeboard in the incinerator 17 through an intake 22 for deodorization.
The incinerator 17 emits an exhaust gas which goes through the heat exchanger 16 wherein heat energy is transferred to the exhaust gas fed into the heat exchanger 16 from the blower 15. After having left the heat exchanger 16, the exhaust gas from the incinerator 17 goes to a gas treatment device 23 and then is forced by a blower 24 to be discharged through a chimney 25 into atmosphere.
An arrangement shown in FIG. 2 differs from that which is illustrated in FIG. 1 in that the exhaust gas from an incinerator 17a is entirely fed back through a line 39 to the direct-flame furnace 11 for recirculation, and the exhaust gas from the cyclone 14 goes partly through line 31 controlled by valve 32 to the direct-flame furnace 11, partly through line 41 controlled by valve 42 to the gas treatment device 23 for being discharged into atmosphere via the chimney 25 and partly through line 33 controlled by valve 42 to the direct-flame furnace 21 for introduction into the incinerator 17a as mixed with fresh air from the blower 20. Therefore, part of the exhaust gas from the incinerator 17a is recirculated as combustion air into the latter.
FIG. 3 shows relationships between an excess air ratio and a stoichiometric combustion temperature in the incinerator when combusting sludge. As an example, the sludge is dried by the predrier 10 until the material has a water content of 15% on a dry base. The high-humidity low-oxygen-concentration gas to be mixed with air is obtained from an exhaust gas produced when the sludge is dried, the gas having a humidity of 0.75 Kg H2 O/KG Air, an oxygen concentration of 0%, and being heated at a temperature of 200� C. Designated at α is a ratio of mixture of the high-humidity, low-oxygen-concentration gas to the air introduced by the blower 20. When no high-humidity, low-oxygen-concentration gas is mixed with the air, that is, the combustion air does not contain an excess water content and has an oxygen concentration of 20% (α=0), the sludge is caused to blaze in the incinerator at a rapid rate. In this instance, it is necessary to keep an excess ratio of combustion air at 2.0 in order to maintain the interior of the incinerator at a temperature of 850� C.
When the air is mixed with 30% by weight of the high-humidity, low-oxygen-concentration gas, producing combustion air having a humidity of 0.25 Kg H2 O/Kg Air and an oxygen concentration of 14% (α=0.3), the sludge is burned moderately with a long red flame. The sludge particles are caused to be thermally decomposed before they are burned for uniform temperature distribution. The high-humidity, low-oxygen-concentration gas thus mixed acts to deprive the incinerator interior of heat, keeping incinerator interior at a temperature substantially lower than is the case where α=0. In the illustrated example, it has been possible to lower the excess combustion air ratio down to 1.25 while maintaining the interior of the incinerator at a temperature of 850� C.
With the arrangement of the present invention, the excess ratio of combustion air can be lowered down preferably to 1.1-1.4 by mixing a high-humidity, low-oxygen-concentration gas with supplied air. An additional advantage accruing from the arrangement of the present invention is that with the amount of material to be combusted being controlled to maintain a constant combustion temperature in the incinerator, an increase in the mixture ratio of the high-humidity, low-oxygen-concentration gas results in an increased amount of combustion disposal (K cal/m2 �hr). Furthermore, a material having a high calorific value which has been difficult to burn satisfactorily can be combusted at a relatively low temperature with a low excess ratio of combustion air.
FIG. 4 is illustrative of an example in which the incinerator while in operation is interiorly maintained at a temperature of 850� C., the excess air ratio and the NOX concentration in a discharge smoke from the chimney 25 being plotted as functions of the air-gas ratio. The solid line curve indicates that the excess combustion air ratio decreases as the mixture ratio of the high-humidity, low-oxygen-concentration gas is increased with respect to the supplied air. As shown by the broken line curve in FIG. 4, the NOX concentration in the smoke emission is reduced in response to lowering of the mixture ratio.
Although certain preferred embodiments have been shown and described in detail, it should be understood that many changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the appended claims.

(Reuters) - Teck Resources Ltd and Antofagasta Plc denied on Monday that they were in talks about a merger after Bloomberg news reported that the two mining companies were in early stage talks.
Teck said in statement it was not in discussions with Antofagasta "in relation to any form of transaction."
Vancouver-based Teck also said there "no other corporate developments that justify any significant movement in its share price." Teck's stock surged 11 percent to close at C$19.45 after the Bloomberg report.
The news agency, citing unidentified people with knowledge of the matter, earlier reported that Teck and London-listed Antofagasta had explored a merger that would create one of the world's biggest copper producers.
With a market value of $8.1 billion (5.4 billion pounds), Teck is Canada's largest diversified mining company, with operations including copper, zinc and coal mines in the Americas. It is backed by Canada's Keevil family.

Where does the cat box go?
I'm serious...this is a 3 br (third br will be office and small) with 1.5 baths that are very small. What are some creative places folks have tucked away cat litter boxes in the small aka "cozy" home? TIA for the poop on this all-important question!
OR you could disguise it as real furniture (or buy it readymade). There are some really terrific 'fakes' out there, complete with pull-out trays or (vented) tops as many cats don't like tops otherwise - I bet if you Googled 'creative cat boxes' or something you'd get tons of inspired hits.
Now, we have a really small basement "room" where we put the cat box and just leave the door ajar... but when we lived in a condo (like sunshine) we put it in the closet under the stairs. Something like that (closets, cabinets) works well too. Good luck.
Fortunately I have a small laundry room that it can go in now. When I was living in a very small apartment I had a small rolling cart and put the litter box on the bottom tray and put the cart in the farthest unused corner of the room. I put a nice tablecloth over the cart to disguise the cat box. Maybe not the best solution, but the bathroom only had a pedestal sink and not enough room for the box and the closet wasn't really an option either.
In small apartments, I always removed one of the cabinet doors on the bathroom cabinet, and then put the litterbox on the side where the door is remaining. Most people can't see the box then. Cat goes in the opening, and most tracked out litter stays in the cupboard area, rather than on the floor.
I've never liked the solution of having it out in the bathroom (either in a specially made box, or just openly out). It just takes up too much space.
I hid one in the bottom of a bathroom closet (removed the door and put up some colorful fabric). For the second one I bought a Booda litter box which is nicely shaped and aesthetically pleasing. I keep that one in the bathroom that doesn't have a closet.
One of my favorite gadgets is a diaper-genie thing for litter boxes so it's easy to scoop them once or more a day (keeping the smell down), without the hassle of taking the waste outside.
We have 4 inside cats and 3 litter boxes and if you'd come to the house, you'd never know we had a cat....2 of the boxes are in the spare bedroom/craft room and we also have a box in the basement...The trick is to keep them clean, emptied twice a day if needed and sprinkle a little litter deodorant on top every once in awhile...Jannie is right, keep it clean and private and you'll have no problem, no matter where you keep it....
We don't have a cat now - our little lady went to the Bridge in June - but we do plan on bringing another into the family soon, and this is one of the major stumbling blocks. Our previous house was 1/3 larger, with 2 1/2 baths, so we were able to just devote the half bath to the cat's litter box, food, water, etc. We got spoiled!
I would really prefer to switch out the pedestal sink in our half bath for a wall-hung one, ideally a salvaged one that suits our old house better, so that there is room beneath it for a covered litter box. (We have to have a covered one because the dog considers litter boxes to be his own personal snack platters, YUCK! Plus, at least with our late kitty, if he got anywhere near the litterbox while the cat was "visiting" it it would upset the cat quite a lot which led to litterbox avoidance.) An old-fashioned fabric skirt on the wall-hung sink would hide the box from view. The room is really too small for a vanity that would be big enough to hold a litter box, even if an entry hole were cut in the side. But, cashflow is a bit of an issue and there are other things that are higher priority.
Probably the litter box would end up in a corner of the kitchen until we can afford to mess around with the half bath. Not ideal IMO, I hate having the litter box in the kitchen, but there isn't anywhere else available. Were we to do that we would cough up for one of those litter box enclosures to keep the dog out of it, maybe one of those "rhino-wicker" ones. I really like the wood cabinet ones but whoo-ee, they are very pricey!
I did find an interesting litter box on Petco.com that has the entry hole at the top rather than on the side: Clevercat Top-Entry Litterbox They claim it is dog-proof and minimizes litter tracking. I suppose one could just get one of those big Rubbermaid bins with the lid and cut a hole in the lid, as a bargain version. Still ugly though.
Our cellar is dirt-floored with 3-4" of loose, fluffy silt on top of the hard-packed earth - to a cat that would be one big 500sf litterbox!
Finding space in my 840 sq foot house was a challenge. Currently, the litter box is in a corner of my spare bedroom/computer room/ironing space/music room. I tried placing it in the closet in that room, but I'm not home to clean the box multiple times during the day and didn't like certain foul smells wafting up and attaching themselves to whatever else was in there. My cat is 15 yrs old with some health issue. When she passes (hopefully not for a while yet)I'd like to get two cats, but worry about where I'm going to put TWO litter boxes in this house!
Hello again and thanks everyone. Some of your responses were pretty funny! I've put myself on the waiting list of the top entry Clevercat litterbox that is currently out of stock at petco.com. I also have ordered a wall hung sink for the 1/2 bath that should be delivered this coming Weds or so; when it's installed I'll see if a litterbox with cover will fit underneath (and I like that idea of hiding it behind a skirt!)
Thanks again!/Carol
I've tried the kitchen, but mine is small and I found it pretty gross having it around my food. I currently have mine in our dining room seeing that it doesn't get much use, but when we have guests I am very embarrased.
I liked a lot of the suggestions here.
Has anyone tried toilette training their cat(s)? I have seen kits in PetSmart but I am unable to try seeing as I only have 1 bathroom and the husband would kill me...
This seems to have gone full circle - a covered box (unless you know your cat will tolerate it) could be asking for trouble as many cats don't like them, and toilet training can be done but requires a lot of patience, preferably a more amenable younger cat, and probably a cooperative husband. But it can be done... look for info. at www.thecatsite.com/forums.
Johnmarie...I have two dogs and use a catbox that comes with a lid, opening faces the wall. Cats easily skinny in, dogs can't get there.
Have always placed the catbox in the garage with a kitty flap installed on the door going into it. Am now in a small home with a garage but no door entry from house. I hate cat boxes anywhere in the house, short of a basement corner. Actually I just hate cat boxes, but they go with the cats so will live with the pain to pleasure ratio.
Am not a fan of the bathroom idea. Cat sand is a pain and requires constant attention along with cleaning. Really don't want the box around an area I spend bath time.
A closet is fine if nothing else is in it, but tight enclosures seem to make the situation worse.
My catbox is now in the spare bedroom. I looked at all of the "decorative" enclosures, but felt they were a tad expensive for what they are. For a couple of months I had the box in a large plastic tub with lid, cut a hole to let them get in through the side. It looked stupid.
Then perused around the house for possibile furniture items. Thought about using a small trunk, put an opening in it for the cats and use lid to open for cleaning. That idea went by the wayside (didn't have the nerve to cut the trunk) and ended up using a large end table with a cabinet door...which had to be left ajar slightly. I thought this idea was so smart.
The problem with using an enclosure around the cat box is it has more odor hanging around without air circulation. The end table idea just made the cat box situation worse. So the box is now just a cat box in the open (one with a top cover), on a fluffy bath rug to catch tracking, secreted in a corner, opening facing wall. Can't be seen, easy to keep clean and odor hasn't been an issue. If the spare room needs to be used for a length of time, will move the box into my office temporarily. My cats love their catbox time and will find it anywhere if moved.
We had a toilet trained cat years ago. She was a couple of years old when it began. Originally belonged to the kids grandma who would sit and do her hair/makeup at a little desk in the bathroom. The cat was always in there with her watching all. One day, out of the blue, she just sat sprawled across the toilet and never used a box again. The cat was given to us when ML could no longer take care of her. The toilet deal was such a big deal that monster meows would evolve if anyone had closed the toilet seat. As great as this cat ability was we always thought it would be an added perk if she could have figured out how to flush.
I'm not sure a cat can be actually trained to do the above. The right cat perhaps, but I'd probably try it with the very one that hated the whole idea. They are each so unique and whatever goes on in their heads is beyond all of us.
Still thankful for all of the cat lovers here. Anyone reading this thread with less than a small interest in cats might consider...
Cat people...aren't we wonderful? I can answer your question too. No toilet trained cats now. But the paper deal.... the two would rather have it facing out. Much easier to play with and unroll as far away as possible.
And I solved this problem. My roll is in a brass ship's wine bottle holder which mounts to the wall. Came up with this when seeing it at an antique store. The idea wasn't for the cats though. My kids could never come up with a good reason to replace the roll on a standard holder. I thought the find was great so they could just drop a new roll in it. Of course this never worked either, but I like the oddity of the wine holder....so I give up on the paper deal.
My mother put the cat box in the corner of a room, then surrounded it with a mass of potted plants, plants hanging off a hook on the wall, etc. You couldn't see the box at all, and the cat seemed content with prowling through the jungle to get to it.
Ours are right out in the open, one in a corner of the kitchen, one in the half bath downstairs. We can't use covered boxes, or the cats who sometimes won't use the litter boxes won't use them at all. Basement is out - there's a packed dirt floor, and they go wherever they like.
I hate where the boxes are now, but would hate it even more if they were in a closet that I had to use for anything else (especially food or clothes) or in a bedroom. I thought about putting at least one on our third floor, but I know it wouldn't get cleaned often enough.
We have a laundry "closet" off the kitchen. We bought a stackable washer and dryer, which reside on one side, and the 2 litter boxes are on the other side. The closet doors stay slightly ajar for the most part, so the cats can get in and out. We use the "feline pine" litter--no sand gets tracked through the house.
I have 3 cats and 2 boxes-- both in the basement. The basement has a cat door on it.
I bought a Clever Cat box a year ago to see if it would help with the litter. It definitely HELPS, but the litter still gets out. Check your local craigslist for these as I sometimes see them for sale (new).
When we lived in apartments (we only had 2 cats then) we'd keep in the box in the pantry. Thankfully, we always had big pantries even though the kitchens were tiny.
Know this is an old post, but found a website with the most interesting cat boxes. Now to afford one. And would the cat or I appreciate it. Check out the robot litter box.
