Spring is here, and that means it's just about time for spring cleaning. Here are 5 homemade natural cleaner recipes to help you make every area of your house shine, without any harsh chemicals! Who doesn't love DIY cleaners that work, right?
Years ago, I began learning about some of the toxic chemicals in many store-bought homemade cleaners. Ingredients like phthalates, ammonia and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) lurk in many standard cleaning products and pose a significant risk to our health, not to mention to the environment. So I began purchasing all-natural cleaning products, which were much healthier, but much more expensive too.
Let's be real, the homesteaders and pioneers of old were able to clean their homes, kitchens, and barnyards with homemade cleaners without all the nasty ingredients and so can we.
I continued to spend money on natural cleaners for a couple years, until I finally learned that a little bit of white vinegar and baking soda could do the same job as most high-priced, toxin-filled cleaning products available at the store.
I first started with a simple homemade bathroom cleaner made of baking soda and some lemon essential oil. Then I began making my own all-purpose vinegar cleaner. Today, I make just about all of our cleaning products from scratch at home and have eliminated most toxic chemicals from our home, and I'm on a mission to help others do the same!
So, in light of my mission, here are 5 homemade natural cleaner recipes that you can make from scratch with a few simple ingredients you probably already have on hand anyway:)
Mix in a spray bottle and use on just about every surface in your house!
To infuse your vinegar, add citrus peels to a Mason jar and cover with white vinegar. Allow infusion to sit for about 6 weeks, then strain out the peels and use infused vinegar to make this homemade cleaner. I always have a jar of vinegar going that I add my lemon peels to after I'm done with them, which makes this recipe extra frugal because I'm using something I would normally just be throwing out anyway.
You can also use plain white vinegar in place instead of the infused vinegar, which I recommend doing if you'd like to primarily use this as a window cleaner. The added citrus gives this a nice lemon scent and takes some of the "bite" out of using plain white vinegar.
This all-purpose cleaner works great on all surfaces (for a printable version of Natural Vinegar Citrus Cleaner Recipe click here). Just don't use it on marble as vinegar will stain marble.
Next we have homemade cleaning products with essential oils to up the cleaning and grease fighting power naturally.
To make, add a few drops of lemon essential oil and/or a couple tablespoons of lemon zest to a Mason jar full of baking soda and mix well.
Sprinkle some of this homemade bathroom cleaner in your sink, bathtub or toilet and spray with vinegar. Let it sit for about a minute, then scrub clean.
To use as a drain cleaner, sprinkle some down the drain and then pour a little vinegar down the drain to make the baking soda foam up. Rinse with water
Mix ingredients together and use a rag to rub the oil on wood floors, furniture and other wood surfaces.
The vinegar helps to clean surfaces and the olive oil and orange oil helps make your wood shine!
You can also infuse olive oil with dried orange peels in place of or in addition to orange essential oil. The compounds in orange peel (and subsequently orange essential oil) help to keep wood from drying out and makes the grain in wood stand out, not to mention it smells great too!
If you choose to infuse your oil, make sure peels are dry first as fresh peels can cause old to form in oil. Place peels in a jar, cover with olive oil and let sit for about 6 weeks. Then strain peels out and use infused oil in place of regular olive oil in this recipe.
Mix all ingredients together in a spray bottle (shake well to mix) and spray on kitchen countertops, stovetops, ovens or anywhere else you need some serious degreasing action.
The Castile soap and lemon essential oil helps to remove grease and loosen up any stuck-on bits while the vinegar helps to clean and disinfect.
Add roughly 50 drops of essential oils to a 4oz spray bottle (if using a larger bottle then add more drops of essential oil). Then fill halfway with witch hazel and top off with distilled water. Shake well and use as a room spray or spray on fabric to refresh.
You can combine multiple oils to create a signature scent (lemon and lavender and orange and cinnamon are a couple of my personal favourites) or stick with a single scent. Use distilled water instead of regular tap water to prevent mold.
While this isn't technically a "cleaning" product, it is a great way to freshen up your home without spraying toxic chemicals into the air in your home.
It's incredible how many toxic products we use to "clean" our homes, and it's even more outrageous that there is hardly any regulation when it comes to what chemicals are allowed to be added to home cleaning products. In the end, there's only one way to be sure that the products you use in your home are all-natural and toxin-free, and that's to make them yourself.
Luckily these recipes for homemade cleaners are easy to whip up and cost next to nothing to make. And most importantly, they're 100% safe for your family and the environment.
So this spring, ditch the toxic cleaning products and make your own. I guarantee you'll never go back to store-bought again.
Oh, and don't forget to grab download some printable labels for your homemade cleaners. You can find them under the "Labels" section of my Free Resource Library.
There you have it, 5 homemade natural cleaner recipes to use on and around your homestead.
Do you already make your own home cleaning products? Be sure to share any recipes we may have missed in the comments section below!
My name is Anna and I'm a modern homesteader. I began homesteading a few years ago when I still lived in a condo in the city. It changed my life! I now live on just over an acre and am following my dreams of living a simpler, more sustainable and self-sufficient life. I love to help and inspire others to do the same & prove that the simple life doesn't have to be complicated!

Note from the Editor | Welcome to The Proclaimer RadarMai Nguyen Do September 25, 2018 0 COMMENTS
It's traditionally been easy to sweep the dynamic and the bold under the heavy blanket of suburban sprawl. With three colleges in the valley and Los Angeles just an hour or so away, creative talent is brewing in the Santa Clarita Valley. Artists of all mediums — music, visual, dance, writing, film, multimedia — are weaving together the fabric of the valley's cultural community.
As we ramp up our coverage of the local creative and entertainment scene, we found it only fitting to dedicate a separate section to the electric minds coloring in the cultural map of the Santa Clarita Valley. We'll be covering entertainment events, local creatives and groundbreaking art.
Welcome to The Proclaimer Radar, folks.

Most people find that life is difficult enough without having to face the hardships of various allergic reactions. If you are an allergy sufferer who is sick of suffering in silence during allergy season, then this article if for you. Take a look at these tips for how to manage your allergies, and start focusing on enjoying other things.
Get rid of carpeting and avoid using rugs. Carpet is nearly impossible to completely clean, and the fibers hold onto dust, mites, dander, pollen and other substances that are quite irritating to allergy sufferers. Floors that can be efficiently cleaned are far more suitable when you have allergies.
Dust mites unfortunately are unavoidable for allergy sufferers. As you might have expected from the name, these critters are a fixture on mattresses and pillows. They eat the flakes that you shed from your skin. Not such a pretty picture! It is possible to fight these home invaders, however. There are special mattress and pillowcases with zippers that are specifically designed to keep dust mites out. Wash your bedding in piping hot water every week; it will kill dust mites.
Animal lovers with allergies may find that a short-haired pet is somewhat more tolerable than one with longer hair. The truth is that any animal with hair has the potential to inflame your allergies, but the shorter the hair is, the less allergens you have to contend with. You also want to avoid sleeping with your pets if you don't want to have an allergic reaction.
To prevent mold and mildew, you should keep your bathroom ventilated well. This sort of allergen likes an environment that is warm and damp. It's a good idea to turn on a ventilation fan and hang wet towels up on bars to dry after bathing. If a fan is not available, you can crack a window instead for similar effect.
Skin tests are reliable for identifying allergens, but these results cannot predict how severe a reaction you may have to these substances. For example, a test may indicate that you are allergic to a certain type of spore. However, it's possible that you could have mild allergen symptoms when you are around it, even if you don't experience any discomfort.
Have you heard that your allergies can actually be caused by your own body? Here is how this can be true. You are a magnet for dust and pollen, and pick it up constantly when outdoors. If you don't wash up, you can be attacked by all of these substances when you sleep. Remember to shower and wear freshly-washed nightclothes before going to bed.
If you are a major sufferer of allergies, but love getting in an outdoor workout, it is best to do it during the early or late parts of the day so that you do not inhale as much pollen. Research indicates that these are the best times, in regards to pollen count.
This article has provided you with advice to help you get your allergies under control. With so much to do in life, why should you deal with allergies too? Now you can get control of your life by getting control of your allergy symptoms.

In chemistry, a solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.
An ion is an atom or a molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving the atom or molecule a net positive or negative electrical charge.
A homogeneous mixture is a solid, liquid, or gaseous mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout any given sample.
In chemistry, a mixture is a material system made up of two or more different substances which are mixed but are not combined chemically.
Solutions by Bozeman Science
The term aqueous solution is when one of the solvents is water.
Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes, oceans and rain and is the major constituent of the fluids of organisms.
Types of Solutions by Brightstorm
In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.
The mixing process of a solution happens at a scale where the effects of chemical polarity are involved, resulting in interactions that are specific to solvation.
In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole or multipole moment.
Solvation describes the interaction of solvent with dissolved molecules.
The solution assumes the phase of the solvent when the solvent is the larger fraction of the mixture, as is commonly the case.
The concentration of a solute in a solution is the mass of that solute expressed as a percentage of the mass of the whole solution.
In chemistry, concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture.

The eight-year-old's stepfather Jamie Watson has given an update on her condition
Britney Spears' niece has regained consciousness after her terrifying ATV accident over the weekend.
Maddie – who's the daughter of Britney's younger sister Jamie Lynn – is 'doing better and better', according to her stepfather Jamie Watson.
He gave worried fans an update on Maddie's condition yesterday, after her off-road vehicle crashed into a pond and left her submerged in water for two minutes on Sunday afternoon.
See: Britney Spears Speaks Out After Her Niece's ATV Accident
Sharing an image with the words 'Believe In Miracles' emblazoned across it, he wrote: 'Thank you to everyone for the prayers. Maddie is doing better and better. Thank y'all so much.'
Jamie's upload comes after the hospital Maddie's being treated in confirmed that she's awake and talking.
In a statement provided by a Spears family representative, PEOPLE learned: 'With her father, mother and stepfather by her side, Maddie regained consciousness mid-day Tuesday, February 7.
'The 8-year-old daughter of entertainer Jamie Lynn Spears was involved in an ATV accident at a family home Sunday in Kentwood, La. Paramedics resuscitated her and she was airlifted to a local hospital.
'She is aware of her surroundings and recognises those family members who have kept a round-the-clock vigil since the accident. Doctors were able to remove the ventilator today and she is awake and talking.
See: Justin Timberlake Wants To Hook Up With Britney Again
'Maddie continues to receive oxygen and is being monitored closely but it appears that she has not suffered any neurological consequences from the accident.'
Contrary to earlier reports, the crash did not take place during a hunting trip. Instead it occurred on the family property, in full view of Jamie Lynn and her husband.
Maddie was allegedly steering the vehicle about 100 yards from her mother and stepfather when she took a hard right to avoid running over a nearby drainage ditch.
According to a statement issued by Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Daniel Edwards and obtained by PEOPLE: 'She overcorrected causing the ATV to enter the pond.
'The ATV and child were instantly submerged in the water right before their eyes.
Latest Stories
'The child was trapped and secured by the seatbelt and the ATV's safety netting. Within two minutes, Acadian Ambulance Services arrived and assisted in freeing the child from the cold waters.'
Following the accident, Britney shared a photo of Maddie on Instagram, writing the caption: 'Need all the wishes and prayers for my niece.'
We're sending Maddie all our love for a full and speedy recovery.

Below is a Letter to the editor of The Globe and Mail which we sent in response to an article with disparaging remarks about Acupuncture. Feel free to use part or all of the letter to contact the G&M yourself. Or review the resources to gain further information for yourself and your clients regarding studies into the efficacy of acupuncture.
After reading the piece by Leah McLaren referencing the "woo woo" that this particular writer experienced in her privileged explorations, it's clear that, on a few fronts, she failed to conduct thorough research—thereby misleading her readers. Specifically, we'll address the issues with the article as they pertain to Acupuncture.
In 2013, Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine became regulated in Ontario, as they are in many provinces across the country. The process of education and regulation for practitioners practicing these disciplines is rigorous and extensive.
As well, Acupuncture, particularly Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture, is accepted by the World Health Organization as a complete system of medicine that stands on its own merits. In Ontario, Acupuncture must abide by the strict guidelines set out by its own regulatory College, CTCMPAO, and the Regulated Health Professions Act, which governs all regulated health care professions in the province.
There are many things that point to the efficacy of acupuncture, not the least of which is its long history of use in Asian cultures. Transplanted to the Western world, the techniques have been tested extensively and there has been a marked rise in evidence-based research for acupuncture. In fact, there has been a significant increase in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) (Ma et al., 2016) with strong evidence supporting the efficacy of acupuncture for many conditions, such as migraines, low back pain, post-operative pain, and rhinitis (McDonald and Janz 2017) to name only a few. Further, acupuncture is used in hospital settings and is seen in many parts of the world as an effective treatment to help reduce the destructive opioid epidemic.
This is a medicine that has survived and grown over thousands of years and proves to be a valued service. It is not a fad and did not come from privilege, though we concede that many privileged individuals are the ones who keep clinics busy in the Western world. However, the rise in community acupuncture and pay-what-you-can clinics points to the effort that many acupuncturists are personally making to ensure that care is more accessible to all. If the writer was serious and interested in critiquing the white-washing of medicine in general, especially as pertains to the capitalist-based approach to health care – a system that discriminates at all levels – she could perhaps query why people choose to be treated by Acupuncture instead of more conventional approaches like pharmaceuticals.
Addressing the issue of privilege in health care is important, perhaps it truly was what the author wanted to do, but what she did was use oppression and inaccessibility as an excuse to denigrate a system of medicine.
For so many reasons, it is terribly misleading to the public and professionally disrespectful to a complete body of medicine to brush off acupuncture as "woo woo": because of its use in hospital settings; because of its continued growth around the world as an accessible medicine that can treat a wide variety of conditions; because of its regulation by our provincial governments.
As a further point of interest, one might look at the research on the issues of using opioids vs acupuncture for the treatment of pain (eg, Shaheed et al. 2016). One might be surprised and find credible fodder for the next article on how Canadians are being bamboozled to take more medications than their physical bodies can actually tolerate, causing diseases that are worse in the long run that the one they started with.

A Bit Cheesy
On yesterday's post was a good comment made by Jeff(or Jon or whatever name he used this time ;-)) about the processed foods I eat, saying that aren't I being a hypocrite with how I present myself? I say: No. I do eat processed food. And I love it. And I can, because the processed food I choose doesn't conflict at all with my all-natural ingredient diet. A mint Newman-O is just as processed as a mint Oreo, but I'll gladly chow down on the former whereas I won't touch the latter. Of course, I completely expect some people to think this is absurd and not see a distinction, but I very much do and that is what shapes what I eat. I definitely think Jeff's comment was a good one as it gave me the opportunity to share this all about me. And I was touched by how many of you replied in defence of this distinction I make 🙂 It reminded me of how I have some of the best readers in the world. Oh, and while I'm publically responding to comments–Food Makes Fun Fuel is a blog written by a guy. Rare in blogworld, I know, but true.
That's not to say I never eat raw foods, though, like this apple I grabbed before class:
Then again, this was pretty nasty and old and by the time I finished I wished I had something more processed. Thankfully, coffee washed it down and I picked up a new bar to try later that I'd been eyeing. In class we got yet another end-of-semester paper. If I didn't use Google Tasks and Google Calender to keep track of things like this, I'd be very frightened right now. But I'm not. That apple, as bad as it was, held me over well through class and blog reading, to the point where I was making a lunch to eat in Greek History. It came in two parts.
For the "main course" I scrambeled 2 eggs with the last 2 of my new, favorite processed not-meat and microwaved that until most of the liquid was set–so good! I loved the spicy sausage in the egg with a little salt. For "dessert", I sweetened the 2% Chobani a little and topped it with jam; the 2% are really hard to find but they're soo good. Full fats a bit too much, but plain's a bit… plain This is a great compromise. This meal had over 40g of protein. I don't really track that for the most part, but sometimes I like to check for kicks and giggles, and that impressed me.
Class 1 was dull. Class 2 was duller. I had to take the escalator with my teacher. She's nice but that's always a bit awkward. She also smokes everyday before class so that was a bit nauseating to be in close-quarters with. After class I wasn't quite ready to go back to my dorm and finish up some work, so I didn't 🙂
I know I'm not alone in loving book stores and coffee on really rainy days. Last year, one of my classes was a good mile down Comm Ave in Boston from where I had been picked up normally, so on nasty weather days I just went to Barnes And Nobles and waited for a ride to come to me. I also got a message while I was moseying saying my dinner plans were not. Not ideal, but much better than learning this at 6. Eventually, I hobbled back to my dorm. I got a bit peckish and broke out that new bar I mentioned.
I like the idea of trail mix, but I don't like how clumsy it is. I like bars. So I had good hopes for this. In the end, it was good, but didn't blow me away; it reminded me of a Clif mountain mix Mojo, except with an oat base instead of soy protein, and a little less nuts. Since I get plenty of oats on a regular basis, I think I prefer the Mojo because of the protein. Otherwise, this was decent. Speaking of getting enough oats…
I wasn't feeling like anything extravagant, per say, so instead I kept it pretty vanilla. Vanilla, in my book, is quite tasty 🙂 I think I listened to all my Bing Crosby Christmas songs at least once while catching up on television. I watched 2 episodes and I still have a good 10 left. I guess I slipped on that last week. I have to say I was a bit happy when dinner was called off; it was pouring last night and I was happy to be in PJ's a bit early. It also let me have a go at this cornucopia:
Yum! It tasted as delicious as it looks. It's amazing what you can make with canned tuna and a single serve mac n' cheese packet. I had a lovely tofu dinner planned but this salty mess stole my mind and the show. The acorn squash was perfect steamed in the microwave in a bowl of shallow water for 5 minutes and let rest.
I loved Heroes last night for some reason. It totally dragged me back in to the season where it lost me. I think I'm a bigger fan of Claire's story line at the time than anyone else's. Afterwards I had a snack.
I wasn't sure if the strawberry, peanut butter, and chocolate chip would work in sync. What was I worried about? This was delicious. I just love the crunch of whole chocolate chips, and the strawberry was a nice sweetness to the sweet-but-not-too-sweet yogurt. Because I foresee questions on this, peanut butter yogurt is 6oz plain greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons Byrd Mill peanut flour(PB2 also works for this) and vanilla liquid stevia. It has a slightly nutty flavor and packs a protein punch. I think The Big Bang Theory was also great last night–what a good ball comedy. To the Jay Leno show, I finished the night with this.
I like to think I have some restraint around Silk Nog. Mighty Maple and chocolate chips, on the other hand… I need to remember to pack that today because it's clearly one of my favorite nut butters and yet we don't have one at home! Shame. While watching Leno, I came to the conclusion that, while Lady Gaga is fun to run to, she's a scary scary person to watch perform. Not Adam Lambert scary, but still. Now I could definitely picture him opening for her.
This morning I hit the snooze twice and felt totally rejuvenated after my morning routine. Seriously, why didn't I feel this good yesterday morning? I wasn't particularly hungry, but I grabbed this bar knowing it would make my workout that much more amazing.
It must have worked because my running felt so strong. Seriously, where was this energy yesterday? I planned for 10 miles, and ended up doing 13.1 in 1:51:02. I easily could have done the 15 I wanted except for time restraints; I can't wait until next semester when, no matter which schedule I end up with, that won't be an issue Monday, Wednesday, or Friday! Even more shockingly, I wasn't feeling very "sweet" for breakfast. All I wanted was something spicy!
I decided to do oats that Green Dog Wine would be proud of 😉 These set my mouth on fire with The Heat Is On. And the processed breakfast patty was the perfect protein touch to compliment it all 🙂 Lol. I jest, because if you can't make fun of yourself, who can you make fun of? The yogurt was more of a thing of convenience, as in, it's convenient that I don't have to take home 2 tubs of yogurt because I dumped what was left of them in there with some pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and liquid vanilla stevia.
I'm currently employing the throw-everything-on-the-bed method again for when I go home today!! Ok, that might be a tad more exciting if I didn't have to go home this past weekend for the party, but still it's pretty fun when it's for 5 days. Later on I have a nut butter review to share with all of you 🙂

Ack! I hate when a good looking apple is only a mirage.
And that broccoli 'n eggs & sausage combo is looking dang good.
I love the Big Bang Theory, Sheldon is hilarious!
Boo on the icky apple and I agree about the 2% yogurt, I think that's why so many people loved the pineapple flavor so much.
I love when people from the internet tell me what I should be eating. I always take the advice of random strangers when it comes to my nutritional needs 😉
Big Bang Theory has been hilarious lately!
Love the acorn mac!
I have never before seen 2% Chobani in my hood, but I can only imagine how delicious it is (I prefer plain, anyway.) The 0% Fage is great, but the little bit of fat with the 2% totally amps it up. And I could spend hours in a bookstore, rain or shine, but rain makes it a bit more justified for me (good times).
And if you have haters, it just means you have readers. Be flattered and go on with your bad, organically processed self!
i totaly agree that this person's comment is kind of off line..how is he confused with your blog? you just blog about what YOU choose to eat and enjoy so what exactly is confusing him. Most of the processed fake meats you eat (such as tempeh and tofu) are all natural as well. ANyways, eat what you like and keep snapping photo's for us to drool at 🙂
I like how you took his comment to explain yourself…good work evan!
Don't think I've ever left a comment on your blog before but I just wanted to say I love all your meals choices, processed or not, you are still extremely healthy person in college!
I'm in awe of your oatmeal and yogurt combos and your grocery store finds, jealous:)
Just because you blog about what you eat doesn't mean that you are in any way beholden to your readers to have any rhyme or reason about what you eat (even though you clearly do choose what you eat fir specific reasons).
Just because you do X doesn't mean you have to do Y. I know people who only eat fresh local food but don't recycle. I know people who insist cars are evil and then always ask for rides. What you decide is important and the decisions you make based on your principles are just that: YOUR decisions. They don't have to make sense to anyone else, and you don't have to explain yourself. If you want to eat nothing but carrots and then decide to eat an entire can of Crisco, that's weird but totally up to you. Your life, your rules. I do appreciate your response to his comment though.
Wow Evan, what a great opening paragraph and I totally can appreciate the distinction.
I am often confronted about raw, vegan, cooked, not vegan and my attitude is that I know what my body needs, why it needs that, I dont judge others for what their body's need or they put into it, provided their choices are well-researched and not just mindless eating.
I hope you have a fabulous T-Day Weekend and I look forward to your nut butter review!
i'm not surprised classes were dull – i'd be in total vacay mode….

OBJECTIVES: We report a case of a huge bladder hernia conditioning the migration of almost all the bladder into the scrotum. METHODS AND RESULTS: 65-year-old male being studied for BPH who presents a scrotal tumor, which turned out to be a huge inguinal bladder hernia in scrotum, paraperitoneal, accompanied by an inguinal hernia. The treatment consisted in bladder resection and repair of the inguinal hernia with a marlex mesh. Later on, a TURP was done. At a six month control, the patient was non-asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS: Bladder hernia is an uncommon pathology, and in most of the cases it is an incidental finding during the repair of an inguinal hernia. It can be intraperitoneal, extraperitoneal or paraperitoneal. The diagnosis is clinical, but comfirmation can be done by retrograde cystoghraphy, ultrasonography or CT. The treatment is surgical, repairing the herniation or adding the resection of the bladder herniation.
Keywords : Huge bladder hernia; Bladder; Scrotum.

A number of you wrote in with the sad news that legendary BBC broadcaster John Peel has died at the age of 65, while on holiday in Peru. He was BBC Radio 1's longest-serving DJ and in recent years had also presented Home Truths on Radio 4. He was most famous for being one of the first DJs to give exposure to punk, reggae and hip-hop, long before they crossed over into the mainstream. He was equally renowned for his legendary "John Peel sessions". where bands were invited to record exclusive tracks for the programme in a BBC studio. Sessions were usually four tracks recorded and mixed in a single day; as such they often had a "rough and ready", demo-like feel, somewhere between a live performance and a finished recording.
Peel was Melody Maker's DJ of the year eleven times, Sony Broadcaster of the Year in 1993, "Godlike Genius Award" from the NME in 1994, Sony Gold Award winner in 2002 and is a member of the Radio Academy Hall of Fame. He gained several honorary degrees including two doctorates and an honorary fellowship of Liverpool John Moores University. He was appointed an OBE in 1998, for his services to British music.
He will be greatly missed, and we wish the best to his family and friends.

On the 11th and 12th of April the German Nature organization NABU organized a workshop on risk management of grazing projects. Reason was the tragic drowning of Heck cattle and konik horses during in 2013 floods of the German Elbe river. FREE Nature shared Dutch experiences and together with representatives of Natural England provided an outside view.
All over Germany one can find natural grazing projects, some of which are managed by the NABU. From all over the country site managers joined to discuss risk management protocols.
Compared to the Dutch situation, German regulations are a bit more stringent. For example site managers are obliged to see their animals at least once a day. German rules have been designed to the practices of industrial or intensive livestock management and do not always suit natural grazing management and rewilding practices. By law free ranging cattle and horses are seen as domestic animals and not as wildlife. To make things even more complicated, rules might differ between federal states. The Dutch exemption to not ear tack calves within a few days (but has to be done at a later moment and DNA analyses must prove lineage) within larger nature reserve does not exist in Germany.
FREE Nature expressed using social herds including experienced animals which have seen it all before. Also examples of herd management during flooding along the Dutch rivers were showcased. The English system which grants animals rights to certain freedoms instead of being based on obligations and regulations is a good example on how laws better connect to management practices.
Over the coming months, NABU staff will process all input and meet with veterinarians, law enforces and policy makers to explore further possibilities to better adapt regulations and protocols to natural grazing management en rewilding practices.

Northwest Game Recipes
Carp With Horseradish Cream
Number Served: 6-8
3-4 pounds whole carp scaled without head
1/2 cup vinegar
1 onion
Pepper and allspice
2 pounds small round potatoes - peeled
1 bundle of parsley
1/4 pound butter
1 cup whipped cream
3 tablespoons horseradish
Salt and pepper to taste
Wash the carp inside but only rinse the outside so the skin is not damaged.
Place the fish, skin side up on a tray with an upside down tea cup in the cavity to hold it up a bit. Pour boiling vinegar over the skin.
In a large pot boil 2 quarts of salted water with onion slices, pepper and allspice.
Place the fish in the pot and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Cook potatoes in a little salt water about 20 minutes. Drain and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.
Melt the butter on the potatoes and whip the cream till stiff and add in some sugar.
Stir in the horseradish. Salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange the carp on the platter with lemon wedges and cover the fish with the horseradish cream.
Notes & Variations:
Mike Estes, RRGC
In the late 1880's the U.S. Fish Commission imported German Carp and envisioned the carp would be raised in ponds, harvested and sold in markets. Carp has never become a food source as planned by the Commission but if caught during the right time of year, in a clean location and properly cooked, they can be excellent fare. The RRGClub received three carp recipes from a Northwest family that describes (in German) how carp can be prepared and served. The recipes were a little vague in places so some judgments were necessary. The Club extends special thanks to Bonnie for translating the recipes and suggesting some clarifications.

Rihanna Wants to Release Her Own Furniture Line
Music, acting, shoes, apparel, lingerie — what's next for Rihanna? If she has her way, it could very well be a furniture line.
The 30-year-old entertainer/businesswoman revealed her desires for such a collection this past Thursday at her Diamond Ball event in New York, WWD reports.
"Hmm. Should I tell you?," RiRi said when questioned about her dream project. "Furniture," she proclaimed. "But I need time for that. I need time to drop something."
While that's all that Rihanna has said thus far on the possibility of a furniture line, she's proven that design is certainly within her wheelhouse. If she does come out with a furniture collection, she will join the likes of Pharrell, Tyler, the Creator, and Kanye West, among others, as musicians who have embarked on similar projects.
For more on Rihanna wanting to release her own furniture line, visit WWD.
Up next, here's how Rihanna turned her fame into a full-blown business empire.

Electrostatic contamination removal (ECR™) systems use electrostatic forces to remove particulate matter that is too small to be removed by conventional filtration. Electrostatic forces are used to remove particulate contamination by mass (not by size); since all particulate has mass, particles smaller than 1 micron can be removed.
ECR systems are a specialised product that should be used in precise conditions after ICB filters have first been used to remove dissolved impurities. The combination of ECR and ICB technology is powerful as it offers the ability to control both solid and dissolved contamination in any critical lubricating or hydraulic fluid.

The day was ordinary. Down the hall, I could hear the buzz of children happily playing and the hum of the washing machine busily making things clean. There was no reason to expect any hint of turmoil until I stepped in it.
Purple goo oozed between my toes and onto my pant legs. A million scenarios flashed before my mind. Then I saw it. The laundry soap container had plummeted into a dismal sea of purple.
The bottle itself had just come home from the store. And now I found myself mopping up what seemed like gallons of soap. Tears invaded and hysteria settled in my heart. There was no way to salvage the disaster and the $14 to buy a new one would be costly, to say the least. My tired hands pressed and mopped at the goo which easily made its way into the deepest crevices of the carpet. After what seemed like hours of useless pressing, I gave up. The pressures of the day mounted and I fell into a heap of despair.
Somewhere in between the brokenness and the crying out, I finally let God's words seep through. "I've got this. Don't you trust me?" I knew it was true and I knew I hadn't been trusting Him with this purple sea of despair. But it seems so silly. It's just laundry soap. It really shouldn't be such a big deal. But sometimes my lot hardly seems fair, and today was one of those days.
Left was a not-even-full cup of laundry soap and a rather damaged vessel.
A few months passed with the broken vessel of purple doom sitting on my laundry shelf. Days would pass and laundry would pile up. I would empty the tiny cup into the machine with each new load of laundry. And somehow, every time I came back, the cup had just enough left again.
At first, I didn't think much of it, but eventually I found myself wondering. Didn't I empty it all? How is this cup full again? But despite my questioning, it was full again. Load after load would wash clean.
The cup never ran out because God provided.
Not only did He provide this one little $14 need we had, He provided every need we had. The laundry soap was just a reminder of how powerful He really is. And a reminder to keep my heart fixed on trusting Him.
Oh, friend, I know it's not easy. The bills pile up and we begin to panic. For me, I'm the provider here. I have to make this work. <— What? Did you read that? Such a lie. I don't have to make this work. God has committed to that. There is no amount of trying on my part that is ever going to make this work. But thankfully, I don't have to.
This simple story is one of many. The miracle of God's provision isn't always in the big things. He might not always drop a $1000 check on your doorstep (although He has done that for me), but He will always provide. Even in the seemingly small and mundane things, like laundry soap. His provision is beyond what we can imagine. Are you watching for it?
Maybe today you need this reminder again. Maybe you need to soak yourself in Scripture so your circumstances will not drown out God's truth. Let's do that today. Here is another set of Scripture cards for you!

"Having fun is one of the most powerful antidotes to stress you will ever find. Many studies show that laughter releases an instant flood of feel-good chemicals that boost the immune system and almost instantly reduces levels of stress hormones. A really good belly laugh can make cortisol drop by 39% and adrenalin by 70%, while the 'feel-good hormone,' endorphin, increases by 29%. It can even make growth hormones skyrocket by 87%! Laughter boosts your immune system by increasing immunity levels and disease-fighting cells.
Laughter increases flexibility of thought and is as effective as aerobic exercise in boosting body-mind health. According to research, laughing 100 to 200 times a day is equal to 10 minutes of rowing or jogging! Laughter quite literally dissolves distressing toxic emotions because you can't feel mad or sad when you laugh: endorphins are released making you feel so great and at peace that toxic thoughts can't get out of your brain fast enough.
Fun protects your heart, because when you laugh and enjoy yourself, your body releases chemicals that improve the function of blood vessels and increase blood flow protecting against heart attack. Fun reduces damaging stress chemicals quickly, which, if they hang around in your body for too long, will make you mentally and physically sick. Fun and laughter also increase your energy levels.
Having fun through play and laughter rejuvenates the mind, body, and spirit and gets positive emotions flowing. Smile - this is the beginning of laughter. When you hear laughter, gravitate toward it and let it wash all over you.
God and science are both telling us that developing a playful point of view will enable us to live longer, happier, and healthier lives.
Can you afford not to laugh?" ~~ Dr. Caroline Leaf

Reaction FAQs
What does the Reaction™ cellulite treatment feel like?
The treatment is simple and comfortable, and may resemble the sensation of a deep tissue massage. The practitioner uses a treatment applicator that is moved across the treatment area in slow, concentrated motions.
How many cellulite treatment sessions will I need?
A treatment course of 4-8 sessions is recommended for optimal results; however it is important to keep in mind that response to treatment varies from person to person, as do the results. Your practitioner will be able to establish a proper treatment guideline that suits your profile.
What does the skin tightening treatment feel like?
During the treatment, you will experience dual sensations of hot and cold temperatures on the surface of your skin. The integrated skin cooling mechanism ensures that the temperature of your skin is maintained throughout the treatment duration.
How many skin tightening treatment sessions will I need?
A treatment course of 3-6 sessions is recommended for optimal results, however response to treatment varies from person to person. Your practitioner will be able to establish a proper treatment guideline that suits your profile.
What does the treatment involve?
During the initial consultation, your practitioner will perform a test spot procedure to ensure suitability for treatment and determine the optimum treatment settings. Depending on the intended application, gel or oil will be applied to the treated area and the relevant applicator will be used to determine comfort and skin response. After the evaluation is complete and assuming suitability for treatment, the practitioner will schedule the treatment course.
How effective are the treatments?
The cellulite and body contouring treatments have generated exceptional results, as early as the fist treatment. Patients have recorded a firmer and smoother appearance post treatment, with visible results. The skin tightening procedure has also been very successful in improving the appearance of deep folds, wrinkles and sagging skin.
Reaction™ is FDA cleared for temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite, relief of minor muscle spasm, and temporary improvement of local blood circulation.

You have to look for a mosque for which this amount will be enough, even if that is outside the Kingdom (i.e., Saudi Arabia). If you cannot find anything, you can contribute it towards the building of a mosque, such as buying the land or some of the construction materials, etc. In this way the person who donated it will attain the reward. And Allaah knows best.

Valentino said it first – Haute Couture dressing doesn't always need to be about whimsical gowns and fairytale moments. For his Spring Summer 2018 collection, Pierpaolo Piccioli sent out a collection fueled by bold colours, satirical-led moments and dresses more in tune with abstract artists than princesses, and as the Middle East's wedding season fast approaches, we're taking that notion and running with it. Think fiery hues such as blood orange and violet; maximal impact with oversized bows and luminous materials; and unlikely prints along the lines of check-work. When searching for gowns to wear to that every growing list of weddings, look towards the likes of Alexandre Vauthier and Viktor and Rolf, and think twice before seeking comfort in your go-to princess dresses with floral prints and miles of fabric. The less tulle and the more ostentation the better. Conceptual and abstract are key words – if florals are still high on your agenda then consider over-sized nuances and shy away from pretty, delicate prints, and turn towards sturdy, statement ruffles as opposed to free-flowing and whimsical. This year is all about statement making moments instead of traditional dressing.

No news from anglers at Kirman this week but we have been talking to a couple of DFW biologists who are transplanting some brookies from Silver Creek again this year! In the first two days of their transplanting they have moved over 500 fish and I think they have 4 or 5 more days to go. We also did find out that the DFW will likely not be able to plant any fingerling brookies this year but they did plant a load of fingerling cutthroat last October, not sure what the numbers were but they did put some fish in, if I can find out the numbers I'll let you know and I'll also pass on any information I get on more cutthroat plants.

Listen to this post
MEEKER — Fall is almost upon us. I love the fall — it's my favorite time of the year.
The seniors had a good time at the Chuckwagon cookout at the park recently. We had a good-sized group attending. Several people came who seldom if ever come to Chuck-wagon. I hope to see them there more often. "The more the merrier'" folks!
Our first load of aluminum cans has gone to Grand Junction, or will be going soon, for recycling. It will be interesting to see how much money they bring in. I understand that the money will be spent on decorating supplies for the dining room. Many thanks to our cook, Shona Richardson, for taking her time and gas to take them down for the seniors.
I'm working at the fruit stand next to the Gofer two days a week (Tuesday and Saturday), as some of you know. I like it! I enjoy meeting people and talking with them. I'm having a little bit of problem learning to figure taxes, but I'm getting the hang of it.
I made some apricot jam recently. Thanks, Bob and Elizabeth, for the apricots, and thanks Bob, for holding the tree limbs down for me so I could pick the apricots.
We had an evangelist at our church recently. His name is Reggie Pate. Wow, can he play the piano and sing! Oh yes, and he's a mighty fine preacher, too! How many of you remember that old song "This Old House"? Reggie sang that. My mother loved that song and she used to sing it all the time.
I'm sure glad I'm not in Denver, aren't you? Can you imagine having to deal with all of that traffic and the crowds attending the Democratic convention? I heard a cute description of Obama: He's a mile high and an inch deep! I'd like to have that on a bumper sticker.
My husband and I took a drive up to Fritzlan's Cafe for lunch recently. Arlene hadn't baked any peach pies yet but the cherry was almost as good! While there, I overheard a story from some folks at another table who were talking about a certain man named who went pheasant "hunting" at Westlands. This mighty "outdoorsman" would have an employee remove a pheasant from its cage and throw it into the air. The "Great White Hunter" would shoot the bird, the employee would pick it up and throw it into a trash can! Isn't that awful? I wonder why he didn't give that meat away to someone rather than just throw it away! Shoot folks, the seniors at Chuckwagon would enjoy a nice pheasant dinner, don't you think so? That's the worst "hunting story" I've ever heard.
I was glad to see Jeanette Price back at Chuckwagon last week. We missed you while you were gone on vacation, Jeanette, especially your "Skip Bo" buddies, Rose and Pat.
How many of you have tried the new little Mexican restaurant located in the old Market Street Grill location? We like the food a lot. Our favorite so far is the chicken taquitos. The food is just good, plain homestyle Mexican cuisine, freshly prepared, not smothered in cheese, not greasy. The people are friendly and they go out of their way to provide excellent services. They have a non-alcoholic drink called Horchata (pronounces Orchata) that tastes just like rice pudding! Yum! Why am I going on and on about this place you ask? I'll tell you. I learned that every time these poor people put a sign up to advertise their location, some low life comes along and steals it.
These people have probably got every cent they have invested in this place as well as their whole lives and they deserve just as much of a chance to make a life for themselves here in Meeker as the rest of us! Anyone who would stoop to such sleazy tactics whether out of mistaken sense of loyalty or just plain vandalism should be ashamed of themselves.
That's all, y'all.

Described as "foot stompin, whiskey spillin, old timey, psychedelic party music", the Rumpke Mountain Boys have taken the festival circuit by storm, garnering legions of faithful fans along the way with their signature brand of fiery bluegrass aptly named Trashgrass. Using banjo, mandolin, upright bass, and acoustic guitar, the Rumpke Mountain Boys have molded their own unique style and leave no genre of music untouched. Named after Rumpke Landfill, the highest point in their home of Hamilton County, OH, their remarkable energy and passion shine through in their live performances, their songwriting has won critical acclaim, and they've shared the stage with iconic artists such as Larry Keel, Leftover Salmon, Tim O'Brien, Ralph Stanley, Keller Williams, Yonder Mountain String Band and Del McCoury. According to Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon, The Rumpke Mountain Boys are "high energy, hot licks, cool tunes – A party waiting to happen."Recorded in January at Royal Studios in Memphis, TN in January, the self-produced "Moon" is the follow up release to "Trashgrass", which was released in late 2012. According to upright bassist JD Westmoreland, who spearheaded the project, "Moon" is a more mature album. There's still a lot of the fun and joy that we are known for, but the songwriting is astounding. All four of us had great material to bring to the table, and it came together better than I could have dreamed." "The recording gear we used on this album made a great difference in the vibe and tone. It was all acoustic and there were no amplifiers used on the record, no electronics except for the psychedelic composition Something to Say written by Ben Gourley, where he plays the electric mandolin and the band plays various sound experiments. I also play the Wurlitzer on Cincinnati Moon," Westmoreland added.Consisting of Ben Gourley on mandolin, Adam Copeland on acoustic guitar, Jason "Wolfie" Wolf on banjo, and J.D. Westmoreland on upright bass, Rumpke's sound is refreshingly unique, drawing on influences such as the Grateful Dead, Ralph Stanley, Tom Waits, and Jimmy Cliff. They are a much sought after festival act, playing at venues across the United States, and they will be holding their own festival, called Snugglefest on October 14th at Sunshine Daydream Memorial Park in Terra Alta, WV.The "Moon" release will be available at the bands shows, on Homegrown Music Network, and on I-Tunes in the near future.CD RELEASE EVENTSAugust 9th - Headliners Music Hall - Louisville, KYAugust 10th - Miami Valley Music Fest - Troy, OH

Cold shooting dooms Nighthawks
Maybe on another night, but the shots weren't falling Tuesday against visiting Stratford.
Newtown got the open looks against the zone, but shot a poor percentage, contributing mightily to the Red Devils' 60-52 victory in the South-West Conference game.
Newtown was especially cold from 3-point land, making just 2 of 21 treys for an abysmal 10.5 percent. Overall, the Nighthawks converted 21 of 55 field goals (38 percent).
"We were getting good looks," said Newtown coach John Quinn, whose team fell to 13-3 overall and 7-3 in the SWC. "We just didn't hit any."
Stratford coach Paul Dudzinski was thankful that the Nighthawks seemed to be suffering an off night, especially since he conceded his team has defensive problems.
"We're not a very good man team, so we usually play zone," Dudzinski said. "(Newtown) had some looks against the zone but they didn't make them."
Stratford (10-6, 6-3 SWC), meanwhile, drained 4 of 9 (44 percent) of its 3-point shots and made 20 of 41 (49 percent) overall from the field.
The Red Devils also enjoyed a decided height advantage, often playing a pair of beefy 6-foot-4 post players -- Brandon Sherrod and Robert Dupree -- in the paint at the same time. Sherrod scored 10 points and Dupree added eight.
Stratford had a quickness edge, too, with guards Kwame Burwell and Russell Payton penetrating Newtown's man defense for easy lay-ins. Payton a sophomore, scored a game-high 13 points. Burwell added 10.
Stratford's big men, especially the burly Sherrod, had their biggest impact defensively. Sherrod, a sophomore, registered a pair of blocked shots in the second quarter that left a lasting impression. Shortly after that Newtown, perhaps hearing footsteps, missed several shots underneath.
"They were getting in the paint, but our bigs were sort of altering their shots that they normally make," said Dudzinski.
"There were a couple of possessions where we took some rushed shots," said Quinn. "We got the ball and threw up a flyer and that's not how we play. We need to work the ball better. We did that to ourselves."
Stratford, which enjoyed a two-point advantage in every quarter, held the lead for much of the first half and took a 22-18 halftime lead thanks to Dupree's floater at the buzzer.
Newtown needed just 30 seconds into the second half to reclaim the lead as Mike Maher drained a trey on a set play on the Nighthawks' first possession and Dan Smith scored on a driving lay-up after a Stratford turnover.
The Red Devils broke the final deadlock of the game at 26-all and steadily pushed their advantage to as many as 10 points -- 50-40 with just over three minutes remaining.
Newtown, led by Kevin Troy's 12 points and 11 from Smith, forced a few late turnovers with its press and managed to cut the lead to 54-50 with 40 seconds left. But the Devils took care of the ball and put the game away at the free-throw line, going 9-for-14 at the charity stripe in the final period.
"We really wanted it," said Dupree. "We've been in a slump and we're just coming together and just trying to get going."
Jason Smith and Maher scored nine each for the Nighthawks.
Newtown is back in action Friday at Immaculate before closing out the season with tough games against SWC powers Notre Dame-Fairfield, Kolbe Cathedral and Bunnell.
Quinn isn't overly concerned, provided the Nighthawks' shooting touch returns. "If we start making shots, we can play with anybody."

A US appeals court has ordered a retrial for Adnan Syed, whose 2014 murder conviction was questioned by the popular Serial podcast, concluding his lawyer had failed to effectively defend him.
The case involving a 1999 murder seized widespread public attention in 2014 when Chicago public radio station WBEZ's Serial podcast, which has been downloaded millions of times, pointed out possible holes in the case against Adnan Syed, now 37.
The Court of Special Appeals in Maryland upheld a lower court's decision last year to overturn Syed's conviction in the strangling of his 19-year-old ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee while he was in high school, and sent his case back to a Baltimore court for retrial.
He remains behind bars and is serving a life sentence.
In a 105-page ruling, the appeals court agreed with a lower court that Syed's right to effective legal representation "was violated by trial counsel's failure to investigate a potential alibi witness".
Maryland attorney-general Brian Frosh had appealed the lower court's 2016 decision.
Baltimore Judge Martin Welch had ruled that Syed's original lawyer, Cristina Gutierrez, should have cross-examined a witness about the reliability of mobile phone tower evidence.
But the appeals court said Ms Gutierrez instead should have tried to investigate a potential alibi witness, Asia McClain Chapman.
Ms Chapman testified in 2016 that she and Syed were together at the time prosecutors said the murder occurred and no-one contacted her to provide an alibi at Syed's trial.
Ms Gutierrez, who died in 2004, agreed to be disbarred by the state's highest court in 2001 rather than face complaints filed with the state's Attorney Grievance Commission. She said at the time that she could no longer practice because of ill health.
The attorney-general's office could appeal the decision to the state's highest tribunal, the Court of Appeals.
"We are currently reviewing today's decision to determine next steps," said Raquel Coombs, a spokeswoman for attorney general Brian Frosh.
Syed's attorney, Justin Brown, said he was confident his client would be found not guilty in a retrial.
"We hope that [the state] will come to the conclusion that this has gone on long enough," he said.
