Merit badge challenges Scouts to create fun activities for family and friends
DALLAS, March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Games are an important element in every culture around the globe. Simple games give structure to children's playtime and help enforce basic social skills like courtesy, sharing, and taking turns, and more intricate games can help children hone their logic, strategy, and even mathematics skills. Through Game Design, its newest merit badge, the Boy Scouts of America is opening the door for Scouts to put their creativity to the test. BSA representatives will introduce the new title at the SXSW Gaming Expo in Austin, Texas-a three-day event that provides gamers and game designers alike an opportunity to interact and learn from one another.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/DA72708)
Whether it's soccer, a family night board game, or a handheld electronic device-playing challenges us to overcome long odds, tell compelling stories, and work with or against one another. Games motivate both young and old to find creative solutions, practice new skills, and keep their brains active. Scouts who work on the Game Design merit badge will likely look at the games they play differently and with a new level of appreciation. To earn this merit badge, a Scout is required to analyze different types of games; describe play value, content, and theme; and understand the significance of intellectual property as it relates to the game industry.
Over a two-year period, volunteers from the game industry and game enthusiasts across the country created and tested the merit badge requirements and accompanying pamphlet text to ensure the merit badge pamphlet held the young person's interest, was challenging and fun, and required minimal out-of-pocket expense to complete.
The Scout puts his newfound knowledge to use by designing a game and creating a design notebook for this project. In his notebook, the Scout must demonstrate an initial concept, multiple design iterations based on initial testing, and feedback from blind testing. Once his concept is approved, the Scout can begin to build a prototype of his game. Testing of a Scout's game can be done at Scouting functions such as camp outings. For his game design, he can choose from a wide range of media, from cards to boards, dice, and even designing a smartphone application.

Bike rack use increases on Milwaukee County buses
Recent blog posts about bikers on the Hoan Bridge and a cut in state money for bike and pedestrian projects generated several comments questioning the use of bike racks on Milwaukee County Transit System buses.
To a number of readers, the racks installed in 2009 remain a boondoggle: seldom-used and a waste of the $405,000 it cost to install them on more than 460 buses.
One reader asserted that "virtually no one" uses the racks.
I promised to produce figures to address that point, and here they are.
According to the Milwaukee County Transit System, bus drivers recorded 47,995 instances where bus passengers used the racks in 2010.
That fell short of the 100,000 projected by the transit system, and the 200,000 estimated by the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin, during the debate that preceded the purchase of the racks.
Use has increased significantly so far in 2011.
Through the first four months of the year, MCTS drivers counted 12,695 bikes on buses.
That's double the number – 6,184 - in the first four months of 2010. The monthly average so far in 2011 is 3,173, compared to 1,546 through April 2010.
In month-to-month comparisons, the usage this year has been roughly double the 2010 figures, a trend that could put the total for 2011 close to the 100,000 figure estimated by MCTS.
Last year, the usage peaked in August and September.
Milwaukee County Supervisor Mark Borkowski, a steadfast critic of the bike racks, remains skeptical.
"My cursory view of eyeballing buses throughout the days and every now and then I see a bike on a rack." Borkowski said. "I guess I'm not driving in the right places. Maybe it's time for your paper to do a PolitiFact."'
Jacqueline Janz, spokeswoman for MCTS, sent this statement:
"We have received a lot of positive feedback from customers who appreciate this program so it is not surprising to see the bike rack usage numbers doubling. This program extends MCTS's reach to additional customers at a time when gas prices are soaring, giving the community an economical alternative."
Janz also pointed out that the usage projection of 100,000 was based on annual bus ridership of 51 million. Ridership on MCTS routes dropped to about 37.5 million in 2010.
Janz also noted that the county used federal grants totaling $384,750 for the racks and MCTS contributed $20,250.
Here are the usage numbers from MCTS:
2010 | 2011 | |
January | 869 | 2,180 |
February | 889 | 1,804 |
March | 1,746 | 3,419 |
April | 2,680 | 5,292 |
Total | 6,184 | 12,695 |

It's called INVESTMENT which takes time to pay dividends. Stop being so short sighted. Look at the trends in the data....educate yourself....
Racks on buses - another feel good idea that costs taxpayers money that only gets utilized by the most microscopic fraction of society. What a waste.
Izzatso May 18, 2011 12:38 PM
We have wasted billions on ill-conceived highway expansions and
redesigns, even in the light of DECREASED traffic patterns happening.
I've mounted my bike a fair number of times and seen bikes even more,
just on the 3 routes that I use. Peering at busses during your commute
tells you very little about what has happened on that route (even during
that run.)
I've spent about $100 on gas since Sept 2010 on in-and-around-town
use. And, about double that on bus tickets.
All the rest is bike.....
I'm very thankful that the county put them on there. Thank you,
supporters on the County Board, and thank you Bicycle Federation who
help promote these kind of things for me as a bicyclist. :)MKE4ever May 18, 2011 12:41 PM
So the average bus sees a bike on it's front end twice per week.... (.28
bikes per day verified math from page 1 comments, so a bike every 3.48
days, or 2 bikes in 7)
I was in Phoenix not long ago, empty bike racks there as well.
And less than a handful of light rail users. Light rail really takes up a lot of
road real estate people, and is often using about 2 lanes between the
tracks and sidewalks. Fun to negotiate the roads that have them for
turning etcMad Myche May 18, 2011 12:43 PM
"I guess I'm not driving in the right places. Maybe it's time for your paper to do a PolitiFact."
He is obviously not driving along KK on the 15 or on the 11 lines. I rarely see a bus without a bike on it here. Other areas, I would not be surprised if rarely used, but go to the east side and bayview and you will see many, many bikes on these buses. They have proven valuable to me, personally, as I had many flats over the winter and was able to just hop on the bus and get home without the bike.Convinced of the Hex May 18, 2011 12:44 PM
If you believe that it is possible for the drivers to inflate numbers, it is
also then possible that they are not recording instances of use to deflate
the numbers. -
I've used the bike racks and think they are a great investment! I love hopping the bus from Stallis to downtown and then ride around the lakefront, east side, bayview, etc...and then back home on the bus.
The trend is people want to be healthier, this promotes a healthier lifestyle & is more environmentally friendly than driving everywhere.
Most people complaining are probably out of shape and don't even own a bike.
Thank you MCTS & Bike Federation for the bike racks! It's a great investment in our city!mkegurl May 18, 2011 12:58 PM
Believe me, I've spent many days idling behind the Route 15, the Route 30,
even the Route 21, waiting to make a right turn while a bus passenger either
put their bikes on or took them off one of the racks. People do utilizes them,
maybe not to the tune of 100,000 users a year, but they do use them.URKMe IV A New Hope May 18, 2011 12:59 PM
Should have manufactured them to look like whitetail deer antlers and then the Rebumpkins wouldn't know the difference!

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The BCS title game's television rating was up from last season, but the lopsided score kept viewership down.
Alabama's 42-14 rout over Notre Dame drew a 15.1 fast national rating Monday on ESPN, the network said Tuesday. The 26.4 million viewers were up 9 percent from last year's game, another blowout Crimson Tide victory, 21-0 over LSU.
But that's down from the 27.3 million for ESPN's first BCS championship two years ago, Auburn's win over Oregon that was decided in the final seconds. This year's game posted the second-largest audience in cable history behind the 2011 championship.
The matchup between traditional powerhouses in Alabama and Notre Dame created the potential for a record-setting audience. But once the Crimson Tide went up 28-0 by halftime, viewers had reason to skip the second half. Ten previous BCS title games drew a higher rating.
Ratings represent the percentage of U.S. homes with televisions tuned into a program. The game was on in 17.5 percent of homes that get ESPN.
The first half was watched by 20.4 percent, significantly higher than 17.9 for Auburn-Oregon. Typically viewership increases throughout a game if it is competitive. But on Monday, the rating peaked between 9 and 9:30 p.m. EST — midway through the first half — and decreased from there as Alabama pulled away.
ESPN executives were hopeful of a massive audience but warned that it probably wouldn't happen without a close game. CBS Corp. CEO Leslie Moonves acknowledged that reality at a media day Tuesday about the network's upcoming Super Bowl coverage.
"Hopefully we don't have a game like they had last night," he said.

MIAMI, Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- This weekend, chefs and epicures will storm the beaches and restaurants of South Beach for the four-day Food Network SOBE Wine & Food Festival. For a few hours on Friday, February 22, celebrity chefs will refresh themselves with cocktails provided by Foods From Chile, and let off some steam in a competitive game of beach volleyball at The James Royal Palm Beach hotel.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110928/NY76652LOGO)
"Now more than ever, I find myself spending time on the beaches of Miami, admiring all the beautiful people frolicking around on rollerblades, skipping in the sand and soaking up the sun" says Chef Spike Mendelsohn, about what prompted the creation of the event. "This year, I'll be testing out my jump serve at our first ever Let's Get Spiked! Chef Volleyball Tournament."
As a sponsor of the "Let's Get Spiked! Chef Volleyball Tournament, hosted by Spike Mendelsohn," Foods From Chile will be courtside, cooling down and energizing chefs, press, and VIP attendees with Chilean wine and fruit cocktails, while the crowd enjoys free SOBE Survival Sacks filled with Chilean fruit, snacks, blueberry-lemon lip balm, mini-fans, and more.
"Beach volleyball and Chilean food sound like an unusual partnership, but it's actually a perfect fit with the Foods From Chile," says Agathe Blanchon-Ehrsam, Executive Director of Vivaldi Fifth Season, the organization's marketing agency. "We can share the Chilean food story of freshness, quality and abundance to top chefs in a gorgeous, natural setting."
Chefs Andrew Zimmern, Chuck Hughes, Jeff Mauro, Johnny Iuzzini, Kris Wessel, Pat LaFrieda, Stephanie Izard, Tim Love, and Todd Erickson are all expected to attend.
The South Beach presence is part of the Chilean trade organization's five-city, U.S. marketing campaign to promote 23 Chilean food categories, from fruits and nuts to seafood to wine. FoodsFromChile.org offers an interactive availability calendar and retail map so users can see what Chilean foods are in season and where they can be purchased.

10. | Craigslist | ||
A revolutionary online classifieds site that allows people who wish to buy or sell goods and services online to be raped or murdered by total strangers. Nobody, absolutely nobody, thought my idea for changing the way unsuspecting victims were entrapped into life-threatening encounters with sociopaths had a chance. Nobody except me, that is. ~ Craig Newmark (founder of Craigslist)
Craigslist images | |||
1. | craigslist | ||
A terrific community website that started in San Francisco California and is run by a programmer named Craig Newmark. On Craigslist you can find a place to live, sell your car, find a job, rant & rave, find love, or just get laid. Craig has since set up sites for several major cities across the USA and a few major cities around the world.

"Good book to start the kids."
My daughter has four audible books and she enjoys them. She will listen to them at night to go to sleep or in the car. Short and sweet,she loves them.
"Don't mess with the Don!!!"
Michael is all grown up and running the family!!! Michael is trying to go legit but he finds out that is easier said than done!! Freddy is still a mess up and the book really goes into his life, much more than the movie!! Half brother Tom runs for congress and wins but in the end he is always by The Don's side!!! Also cousin Johnny is still singing and slaying the girls!!! Sonny's kids are all grown up and the twin girls have a great roll in the book!! If you liked the first book and the movies you need to grab this book!!!! You won't be disappointed!!!! And if you don't Michael will give you an offer you can't refuse!!! Lol
"Not a bible thumper!!! And funny!!!"
My boss told me to listen to this book and I'm glad I did!!! This book is funny and all around good. It tells the life of Bob Goff a self made man who found The Lord!!! In every walk of life god is with him and he can tell a funny story how he touched the people in his life and also how they taught him new stuff!! Bob is not perfect but everything works out in the end with his life changing stories!! Fun book!!
"As good as the movie!!"
Great short story,if you've seen the movie then you need to read the book.This is a story that will take you back to high school then throw you for a loop at the end!! If I had to pick I would watch the movie!!! Watch it you can't go wrong...
"Save the best for last!!! and Richard is the man!!"
I want to start out and say i've read all the Sword of Truth books..The first three i couldnt put down,the middle was good but not as good as the first three..but the last three was awesome..NO books in between the trilogy,i reas all three straight through.. and the last book CONFESSOR was the best.Richard went through a lot to get to this point and he doesn't dispoint.The JALA game is like the superbowl.. when Richard really wants to play he is the bringer of death.. wow i couldn't put the book down.ALSO the last two hours is so good you will finish it up..after 11 books they take down JAGANG and the sisters of the dark and six..so if you like a good fantsy book start it today!!!
"The best for last!!!"
This series is awesome!!! I couldn't put the book down.. Kahlan and Richard has been through a lot and finally are close to seeing each other..Nikki and Zed with Cara at their side is trying everything to help Richard fulfill the final prophesy but Jagang is one step ahead of everyone and has been for years as the four sister of the light found out!!! The great thing about this trilogy is it all ties together with the whole series and I love it, and you will too!!
"A great start to a trilogy!!!"
After nine books where can you go with this story? How about a trilogy!!! Terry hit it on the head..This is a great first book, i feel sorry for Richard everyone thinks he is crazy but he's not!! He's the seeker and he will find the truth..He always does but in this case their is no Kalyn!! Know one can remember Kalyn except Richard.. This kind've reminded me of Dallas when Bobby Ewing came back after a year,he's just in the shower.. Chainfire gets really good in the last chapters when they figure it out and The seeker,the bringer of death,the war wizard,THE SWORD OF TRUTH figures it all out.. watch out four headed viper Richard and Zed is coming!!!!
"As good as the movie!!!"
What a great book,I liked the movie and I loved the book. I put this book off a couple times but I finally made my way to it,then I couldn't put it down.. I didn't know they were three more books in the series and I can't wait to get to them. Mr Ripley will keep you on the edge of your seat!! The crazy thing is you know Ripley is a bad guy but you keep rooting for him. At every turn and corner he is about to be caught but always finds his way out!!
Short book but a great read!!! Must read!!!
"Eragon & Saphire at their best!!!"
This book is as good as the first!! Eragon and Saphire go to the elves to further their training,Eragon transforms into a boy to a man/elf...Now a true warrior and the biggest battle to come,what lies ahead will test the time for Eragon and Saphire...Roran,Mertagg,
the twins and a host of others from book one will cross Eragons path and only a few will be left standing!!! A very good read,can't wait to start book three!!!!!
"Perfectly wrote and a funny book!!!"
This is a good story about the H1N1 virus going crazy and the fallout is,we get zombies!!!The good thing about the story is a former marine now father a good husband
named Michael Talbolt... Michael has a funny outlook on life and a great since of humor!!
I catch my self laughing threw the whole book with the crazy things he says or thinks in the most horrible situations.. If you like zombies get this book i know you will like it..
"Another great Ken Follett book!!!"
This is one of Ken Follett early books and it is just as good as all the rest.The book has suspense,love and war!!! I think the great thing Ken does is add all the true History and true events in his books,Ken is a lot like John Jakes in that aspect.He even has Hitler in this book and Hitler depends a lot on his number one spy..I've read a lot of Kens books and this is a great read for in between book.. It's short and sweet with a good ending!!! The spy code name "The Needle" has met his match and she is the only one to slip through the cracks..

Put a cat litter box at the entryway?
Sleek cat litter and bench
Romina comes up with a winning cat box. It's so simple yet looks great. Better yet, it doubles up as a bench.
She says, "Living in a Chicago high rise has its problems when it comes to cats and their litter box. There is just no good place to keep it! When you are two architects who really have an eye for the modern and chic, you really don't want a kitty litter box in your closet, or bathroom. We came up with solution to hide the cat box: made from the Besta shelf/height extension units and the Besta Holmbo door. We added the Capita legs and inset them for a modern look.
It sits in our entry foyer and serves as a bench for sitting and putting on your shoes, a mail area, and kitty litter hide out. The cats love it for its privacy and we love it because no one knows what this piece hides! The only thing we did was cut the middle vertical panel in half to allow a hole for the cats to sneak through. We added some contact paper to the inside to protect the particle board from the cats scratching it and for easy cleaning.
Kitty kitty litter box
Aurélien does hers with a Norrebo storage bench. She added a cute "cat" entrance to the side and for the front, used only the front panel of the pull-out drawer. The panel is held in place with magnets. Easily removable for cleaning.

How can cat owners not realize how disgusting their house smells with a litter box in it let alone one greeting you in the entry way?!? Icky. The design is very nice but nothing is gonna keep the odor from welcoming visitors also.

We use the stuff you feed a pellet stove. It's around 4.50 for a large bag and it keeps smelling good. I use and old pair of kitchen tongs to pick out the turds and flush them. The pee is absorbed and those pellets turn to sawdust. Dump the litter to one end of the box, get a cat scoop and sift the sawdust into a bucket (great fertilizer for the garden!) and leave the rest of the pellets in the litter box. We use about an inch deep at most for 2 cats. Feline Pine is basically the same deal, except it costs about 4 times as much. No smell!
Delete I have 4 cats in a 1000 sq ft apartment...with good litter, I use Feline Pine (its flushable!), frequent cleaning, and yes, I should vacuum more but I don't have a 'cat smell' in my apartment! It is really a 'staff' issue (you know you are staff to cats...).

Can we just agree than any animal when cared for can smell? Dogs need baths and cats need a clean litter box.
Both of these look great, I only wish my apartment was large enough to accomodate something like this for my (not yet acquired, hypoallergenic) cat.
-allie Anonymous, hypoallergenic cats can smell too.
We have three. Having had lots of friends with "smelly" cat houses, we refuse to let our place become that. We are careful to clean the box daily, we have candles near it (which we light when we're home) to clear any lingering odors, and we are careful to clean clean clean.
A cared-for animal should not smell, unless there are other problems, just like a human. And, I'm sorry, when a human "goes to the bathroom," it doesn't usually smell great either!- AnonymousMay 20, 2009 3:49 PM
@Jess I'm aware that a hypoallergenic cat can smell, I'm quite allergic. (really I'd prefer a little smell to a sneezing wheezey fit)
Also, I meant, any animal when NOT cared for can smell.
-allie Choosing the right litter can make a world of difference with the smell. For my cats, it's World's Best Cat Litter.
These mods are fantastic, but caution has to be used in households with more than one cat. Because of social tension, the litter box is a key place to feel vulnerable to ambush, so an uneasy cat may go somewhere else if the box doesn't have exits in enough directions.
I would probably do the Norrebo mod with an extra exit in both the front and the other end.- AnonymousMay 21, 2009 9:05 AM

Romina, you may have an eye for the modern and chic, but definitely none for your cat's needs. Your cat litter box is way too low. Your poor cat neither has convenient access to the box nor can it sit comfortably in the box. If you don't want a cat litter box and if you can't accept scratches on even cheap Ikea furniture – why not go for a plush cat? You for sure will find one that fits into your design perfectly.
ReplyDelete It is *totally* all about how the pet and its personal areas in the house are cared for. I lived for over a year in a 450 sq ft studio in DC with two cats. The leasing office REALLY wanted to find an excuse to not return my security deposit, so on the day of my move-out walk-through, I watched that slimy bastard get down on his hands and knees and push his nose right into the carpet where he knew the cat box had been, straining with all his might to detect the scent of an extra thousand dollars in his pocket.
I got the deposit back.
---these hacks are pretty nifty, but I'm still glad that these days I have a basement that the litter box can go in.My husband built something similar for our cats out of an old cabinet he'd found. He just cut a hole in one size, which you can't see unless you're standing in the corner. It's large enough to house the litter box and to store extra litter. Scoops and trash bags go in the drawer at the top.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousMay 21, 2009 12:14 PM
I agree with the comment about the Romina litter box being too low - poor cat is crouched in there. It's like the human equivalent of having to use a restroom half the size of a port-o-potty your whole life.
The Aurelien litter box is a great idea though - I especially like the extra long mat between the litter box and exit so that kitty can get as much litter off the paws as possible. - AnonymousMay 21, 2009 12:35 PM
I absolutely love the first hack. Does anyone know of a slightly less expensive shelf/door combo to achieve a similar look?
ReplyDelete I'm sure the cat crouching is exagerated due to the double-thick shelf she's ducking under to come out, but I agree it's still too short for a cat to use comfortably for life - kinda like only having access to a toilet under a stairway, set so far back that the tank touches the slope of the ceiling and you have to duck constantly and/or have your head touching the ceiling while you do your business - every day, every time you go, for the rest of your natural life. Height needs to be at least tall enough for the cat to sit up fully while at the height the litter is at (not sitting on the bottom of the empty cabinet, since the litterbox will raise them up several inches).
For those who complain about smell and don't think you could manage to clean the box daily (or live in very small spaces), there's a motorized cat pan that's been out for going on 10 years (can't remember when we got ours, I think 2000 or 2001, but our cat hated the motor and killed it by peeing on it repeatedly - she was not young when we got it and a cranky temperment on her best days even then - probably best with either a very mellow cat not bothered by noises, or a very young cat who will adjust easier. I think mine was around 5yrs old when we got it, she's 12 now).
That being said, I'm seriously considering doing a similar hack to this as I'd like to have the box in our kitchen.- AnonymousMay 22, 2009 10:50 AM
Great hacks!
There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic cat or dog!It is noted that most are allergic to a protein in the cats saliva more so than the animals dander. All dogs and cats have dander!
If you want to eliminate smelly cat poo then feed it a species appropriate diet :). The carbs in kibble wreck havoc on your cat. It can not utilize the crap and the size, smell and it's kidneys let you know. You will have no more smelly poos if you feed you cat whole prey or raw and I can attest to that! :D
From one who has had allergies for years :) - SelenaMay 22, 2009 1:35 PM
Since we're talking about litter, I thought I'd mention Tidy Cat's new Breeze Litter Box System. I've been using it for a few months now. It's not motorized so it doesn't scare cats. It's a special box that has slots at the bottom. You put specialized 'litter' on the top and a pad that looks like a flat diaper in a tray on the bottom. The pee goes through the slots to the pad in the tray. The pads have odor control. Poop stays in the litter on the top to be easily scooped out. No more scooping clumps of pee. Here's the URL for more info: www.breezeforcats.com
They were running a $10 coupon for a while, but I'm not sure if it's still going. Amazon has the cheapest I've seen at $23.99. It's a bit expensive, but I think it's worth it.
I just read through this and it sounds like I work for the company. I don't. I'm just someone who HATES to clean normal litter boxes and I'm really happy with this system. Very cool new take on an old problem - which I'll use as a starting point to hack a bit further... Perhaps in a cabinet with the height of a console table. Oh, and as for the smell - I've had the Ionic Breeze litterbox for years which works great. The magic here is all contained in a top panel with a filter and silent electric fan...now how to effectively hack that panel out of the ugly plastic hood and into the chic Swedish particle board? Hmmm...
ReplyDelete- AnonymousMay 26, 2009 9:24 PM
I have three cats. I use a lack sofa console table with fabric draped over to hide the box. I just put my house on an open house tour and everyone asked where the litter was because they saw cats but didn't smell a thing. I agree, as long as you scoop daily, you house doesn't smell.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJuly 29, 2009 10:56 PM
In a well ventilated house, clean litter box wouldn't smell at all.
Though, cats fresh do will smell at first.:( Just manage it's diet and feeding time, so it would go when you are not around. The idea of hiding the litter box is great for the good looking interior. Just a couple of suggestions: one more small window on the apposite side from the entrance and the increase on the ceiling hight to the hight of the sitting cat. ^^ So, on the Besta hack, how did you attach the Capita legs via a setback? Isn't the Besta shelving hollow or cardboard-filled? I just bought a Besta shelf and wanted to attach the Capita legs (NOT for a cat litter box...enough with the cat pee comments already people!) just like you did. I'd love to know step by step how it was done so I don't ruin my Besta attempting it myself.
Thanks!Just FYI, if you want your cat's... um... "loaf" to smell less foul, try feeding them better. 90% of cat food for sale in most pet stores is not really good for your cat. A cat's natural diet is, basically, a mouse. Not rice, or wheat, or even grass. Look at the ingredients on the pet food. You want at least two of the top three items on the list to be muscle-meat (beef, chicken, fish, etc. but not liver) and there should be no grains in the top three. Do this, as I did, and your cats will not only have less waste to leave in the box, but it won't stink as bad.
I went with "Old Mother Hubbard" brand, but there's others too that are good.- soheebutterflySeptember 22, 2009 1:37 AM
can't anyone design a really cute litter box?? really??
ReplyDelete Just a quick comment on cat waste odor. I started using a Pine dust litter a while back. It eliminates odour (even pee..pee) on contact... magic stuff! It's clumping and flushable. There's also a new Corn dust litter out that works just as effectively but is a litter cheaper. My cat adjusted very quickly and best of all there's absolutely no odour lingering in the air as is the case with clay-based (yuck!) litters.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Romina used a Besta unit that is probably too short. One is available that is 25 1/4" tall, which would probably be much more comfortable for a cat. Heck, you could get a tall Besta unit and convert the bottom part of it into a kitty oasis and still have a reasonable amount of bookshelf/display area up top - I'm seriously considering this. My cats do their business outside, but I've had their food and water on a small counter space for years in order to keep it away from our dogs - I think they (and I) would really dig a more private restaurant hideout.
ReplyDeleteA nice way to keep the litter box out of site. A good idea for one Cat households, but what about multi-cat homes?
The rule is one litter box/tray per cat plus one. We have 3 cats and 4 litter boxes.
We keep the litter boxes away from the high traffic areas to provide better privacy for our cats.
These boxes will also need to be cleaned daily to keep the smell under control.
Visit our cats and other cats at www.bandofcats.comKitty litter (gravel/clay mix) has always been a problem. It is just down right messy. So, in walks my son to "give" me his cat. The litter tray is filled with wood chips--the same stuff used for gerbils, etc. What a difference. Traps the urine/feces smell. I mean TRAPS, until you stir it up. Much easier to clean up the few pieces kitty drags out, too. And dogs? They too can learn to use a litter box instead of the neighbor's yard.
ReplyDeleteFrom a cat and dog owner/lover, I found that cats are innately less smelly. The smell of the pee actually is from the combination of the litter and the pee. Once I switched over to wheat litter, it was muchhhh better. Also, I scoop the poo once in the morning and once at night. Most people don't even know I have a cat until they see my cat.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousMarch 25, 2012 11:16 PM
I've had both dogs and cats... At some point three cats and two dogs... and to be honest; cats smell better than the dogs. Cats even with out regular baths do not smell at all. Dogs in the other hand. Well, that's different story.
As for the house smelling like litter-box? Let me tell you. Clean it every day and have more than one around if possible and your house will never stink. - BillTheWelderApril 29, 2012 1:42 PM
I have three cats, a parrot and a dog and when you walk into the house you wouldn't know we had any until you see them. There are several parts to controlling any odors including pet odor in a home. First part is staying on top of daily cleaning of litter boxes / cages / grass patches ( fake grass pads used in apartments in some city apartments ) and puppy pads. Removing the animals waste is essential to keeping odors down specially for any product that does not have a medium to cover the waste. Second is to use air fresheners and air flow to remove lingering odors and to move air around and bring in fresh air when the weather allows. Even homes without pets the air can get a funk to it so use an air freshener and a fan or open windows. The last part is to replace any product on a regular basis as urine tends to penetrate plastics on a yearly basis or sooner depending on how many pets use each product as some pets will stop using them if the product becomes stinky to them.

Bike safety event helps local community

By Anthony Tosie,
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 3:49 PM CST
At early ages, most children are taught how to ride a bike. One thing children may not be taught, however, is proper safety instruction.
For this reason, the Wilma Fisher Elementary PTA decided to host a "bike rodeo" at Frisco's Old Orchard Park to help educate children and parents alike on bike safety and etiquette.
The event, which was held last Friday, was the brainchild of William "Buck" Buckley, who serves as the safety chair of the PTA.
"The main purpose of this event is that kids learn bike safety and start wearing their helmets," Buckley said. "I see a lot of kids that don't wear helmets, so this is kind of a passion of mine. I'm a firefighter in Grand Prairie, so I see these issues a lot."
If Buckley and the PTA's plans come to fruition, the bike rodeo will be the first of many safety and wellness events hosted in the community.
"We're planning on doing this in future years -- this is just the beginning," Buckley said. "I'm hoping this can grow into something more.
Some of the activities at the event included bike safety courses and a "turtle race" where participants attempted to go as slow as they could while maintaining proper balance. Bike and helmet inspections were also provided.
Rodney Crowe, the store manager of Richardson Bike Mart Frisco, provided general bike inspections for children and alerted parents of any potential issues with bikes and equipment.
One of the most common problems, Crowe said, was tires that didn't have the proper amount of air pressure.
"We're here to help make sure bikes are in good shape -- we check things like the tires, handlebars and seats," he said. "We also have to make sure the bike's the right size -- sometimes we have to tell parents a bike is too small or too big for a child."
Crowe added that some children use hand-me-down bikes that aren't always easy for children to ride, potentially causing issues.
In all, Crowe estimated that he completed about 170 inspections by the end of the event. He said that amount didn't surprise him because many of Frisco's neighborhoods foster a bike-friendly environment.
"A lot of the neighborhoods in Frisco are bike neighborhoods, and schools around here have plenty of bike parking," Crowe said. "We see a lot of kids riding their bikes to school around here -- more than other cities I've been in."
The event appeared to be a success -- at least if comments from its attendees are any indication.
"It's the first time an event like this has happened here -- it's pretty cool," said Hamilton Burdett, an 11-year-old 5th grader at Fisher Elementary. "I ride my bike every day to school. If my bike breaks, then now I know how to fix it."
Morgan Gilliam and Hannah Salmon, both also 11-year-old 5th graders at Fisher, agreed that the activities available at the event were fun.
"I did the turtle race and driver success course," Morgan said. "In one of them you have to go really slow and concentrate, and in the other you have to watch out for the turns."
Hannah said she learned how to properly fit a bike helmet at the event and had fun in all the activities, though she was disappointed in one aspect.
"I didn't win any of the events, she won all of them," she said, motioning at her friend and laughing.

Liquid Love
CD (Item 485634) Columbia/Wounded Bird, 1975 — Condition: New Copy
Electric funk from Freddie Hubbard – a great 70s session that has him bringing in a bit more soul to the mix than usual! Things are a bit tighter here than on the CTI sides, but still pretty open and fluid – almost in a Donald Byrd mode with Larry Mizell, given the fuller backings on the set, and Hubbard's lean, clean tone on the top! Hubbard did the arrangements with George Cables – who plays some wonderful keyboards on the set, and keeps things solid throughout – creating the kind of open lines that always seems to get the best out of Freddie. Other players include Ray Parker on guitar, Carl Randall on tenor and flute, Henry Franklin on bass, and Spider Webb on bass – and a few cuts have some chorus vocals, which again take on a great Mizell-like quality in the mix. Titles include "Kuntu", "Put It In The Pocket", "Liquid Love", "Yesterday's Thoughts", "Lost Dreams", and a version of "Midnight At The Oasis". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Series: John Polkinghorne on Natural Theology
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.

Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Series: The Wonder of the Universe
BioLogos is pleased to share excerpts from Karl Giberson's book The Wonder of the Universe: Hints of God in a Fine-Tuned World. It presents a two-part argument: in the first section Giberson outlines the history of our understanding of the universe, emphasizing the reliability of our knowledge of its properties and its history. In particular he outlines the remarkable evidence of design. In part two of the book, however, he discusses the complexities of drawing inferences from the design of the universe, cautioning against arguments that fine-tuning of the universe proves the existence of God.

Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Science is Empowering But Hard to Define
It is easy to be confused about what science is and what scientists do. In part, this is because scientists do so many different things in so many different ways.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
The Crutch
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.
Series: Design in Nature
In this series, Oliver R. Barclay examines the idea of God as Designer. He concludes that God did indeed design creation, and that the "state of the world is evidence not only for the existence and power of God but for his kindness and care for his creation." Barclay then goes on to investigate the arguments for Intelligent Design which attempt to prove that certain examples of design necessarily imply direct intervention by a Great Designer. He points the flaws of such an argument and discusses its implications.
Series: Francis Collins and Karl Giberson Interview
In this six part series, Karl Giberson discusses evolution with BioLogos founder Francis Collins as it relates to the scientific community and the church. Their conversation addresses Collins' scientific perspectives, his Christian faith, and the abundant evidence for evolution. Throughout, the two critique various unscientific approaches to evolution such as Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design. Overall, they both express the deep need for the Church in America to accept evolution as a valuable, true theory as well as to cultivate a richer understanding of the Bible among the people.

Tributes to Mayport motorcyclist who died in Lakes smash
Last updated at 09:04, Friday, 27 July 2012
The family of a Maryport motorcyclist who died on the A591 near Thirlmere on Saturday have paid tribute to a man who 'died doing what he loved best'.
Christopher Roger Denwood, 54, of Ritson Wharf, Maryport was riding a Triumph Sprint when, at about 11pm last Saturday, he collided with a large stone road sign.
The collision occurred on the A591 Dunmail Raise near to Thirlmere Reservoir.
Mr Denwood's motorcycle was travelling along the A591 from Ambleside towards Keswick when the collision occurred at the start of the dual carriageway at Dunmail Raise.
Mr Denwood was pronounced dead at the scene.
A spokesman said on behalf of his family: "Chris died doing what he loved best - riding his bike on Lake District roads.
"Chris will be greatly missed by his family and friends following his untimely death."
An investigation into the collision is ongoing and police are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed it to contact Cumbria Constabulary's Western Roads Policing Unit on 101.

By bbmama

I bought this ahead of time for our 2yo and she now loves it! She's not a rough player in general, so I can't review it's durability. We make the case its "bed" and she puts it right back in before going to sleep. Really nice toy- better than other options out there these days!
Fun and easy to play
By Rohna
from Wytheville, Virginia
We have a 5-yr-old son who is autistic and is receiving speech therapy. His therapist has been having him blow bubbles in an effort to have him experience how those muscles work together (which affects his speech). I thought we'd give the harmonica a try b/c it reinforces his effort to use his mouth and diaphragm muscles even when he breathes air in. He has enjoyed it and feels a big sense of accomplishment. My typical 7-yr-old daughter thinks it's fun, too, and it has a nice sound.
great sound at a great price

My son loves this! it's sturdier than most you will find nowadays and has a nice, clear tone.
Best Harmonica, ever!
By Wildthing667

This is a really nice learning "toy". My Grandson has just turned 2 yrs and is enjoying the music he can make with his harmonica....just like Dad's!
Not too squeeky
By Momma
from Bethesda, MD
The harmonica is approximately 4-5 inches and sounds pretty decent. This was a stocking stuffer, and I assumed that it would take loads of abuse and might not make it past the holidays. However, the harmonica is fun for the adults to play, and sounds pretty smooth, once the little one had tried it out a bit. I'm impressed.
