Lightning looking for more against Fury
The Badger Lightning picked up its first Badger Conference win last weekend and faces a tough test as the team looks to stay undefeated with another conference test in Beloit Thursday (Dec. 2).
One of the challenges facing the Lightning looking to climb into a higher competitive tier this season is battling the conference rivals that have had their number in previous seasons.
The Fury and Lightning have faced off 18 times since 2011 and the Fury has a 12-5-1 edge in those games, including the last 10. Last season the Lightning and Fury did not cross paths. The most recent contest was a 7-3 win for the Fury in Janesville in Jan. 2020. Mallory Ruhland is the only current player to have a goal in that game, others scored by Kaylee Engel and Allison Knull.
Last win for the Lightning against the Fury was a 5-3 edge in Jan. 2015, Rachel Pawlak leading the way with a hat trick and others scored by Paige Pawlak and Karlee D'Asto.
It might be too early for the Lightning to challenge the Fury with a win, but the team will make it more difficult for the home team due to some stellar work in goal and a deeper and more aggressive group of forwards this season.
Locals will get a chance to see the local side in action on Saturday when the Wisconsin Valley Union faces off at Pierce Park Pavilion in a 7 p.m. contest, the first meeting between these teams since 2016.

Locals get College seasons underway
NCAA Updates
MacDonald debut delayed
The newest local player to make their NCAA Division 3 debut has found it difficult to get on the ice as COVID restrictions have seen five straight games postponed for Jack MacDonald and his St. Michael's College Purple Knights hockey team.
Jack MacDonald
A graduate of Baraboo High School and a key player on the Baraboo/Portage Thunderbird squad, class of '18, MacDonald moved on to play 129 games over three seasons with the Seahawks Hockey Club in Cape Cod, MA, a member of the Eastern Hockey League, last season wearing the 'C' as team captain.
MacDonald collected 31 goals and 71 points with the Seahawks and moved on to St. Michael's in September.
After an unofficial, exhibition match and a 3-0 loss against the SUNY Plattsburgh Cardinals Oct. 23 in Plattsburgh.
MacDonald hit the stats sheet with a two-minute minor penalty and was 3-of-10 in the faceoff dot in his first NCAA test.
Since that unofficial game, the Purple Knights have had five games postponed due to the COVID protocols: Oct. 29-30 against the SUNY Potsdam Bears, a conference game at Post against the Eagles in Waterbury, CT on Nov. 6 and two more road tests at Long Island University against the host Sharks.
Two more will be added as a pair of home conference tilts against the Assumption College Greyhounds have already been postponed this weekend.
St. Michael's will now kick off the 2021-22 regular season next Friday at Cairns Arena in South Burlington with a Northeast-10 Conference match against the Franklin Pierce Ravens.
O'Connor nearly flawless in sophomore debut
After a successful run with the UW-River Falls Falcons Women's hockey team in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) last season, Jordan O'Connor, finds herself a part of a solid tandem in goal this season with the Falcons who enter the regular season as the fourth-ranked team in the NCAA.
The Falcons have played and won four games so far, outscoring Lake Forest Foresters (twice), Augsburg Auggies and St. Mary's University Huskies by a combined total of 21-5.
O'Connor went to the blue paint for the second game of the season and kicked out all but one of 17 shots faced to lead the Falcons past the Foresters by a 5-1 margin on Halloween.
The Falcons head into Stevens Point Friday for its first WIAC Conference contest against the host Pointers, then head home Saturday for another conference meeting against the Northland Lumberjills.
Tough opposition for Teske and Auggies
Julianna Teske also began her sophomore year in the Twin Cities with the Augsburg University Auggies, playing some tough opposition.
The team has hit the ice twice so far, taking the Falcons to overtime before surrendering a 5-4 decision in its first game, last Thursday (Nov. 4) at Ed Saugestad Rink and falling again to the UW-Eau Claire Blugolds 2-1, again on home ice.
As mentioned earlier, the Falcons enter the season as the fourth-ranked D3 team in the nation and the Blugolds ranked third in the same poll.
Teske has yet to hit the score sheet but did pick up some stats, serving a minor penalty in one of the games.
The Auggies will begin the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC), facing the Hamline Pipers at TRIA Arena Friday night with a rematch at Ed Saugestad Rink on Saturday.
Engel sidelined to start Lumberjills' campaign
Kaylee Engel
The area's other Sophomore, Kaylee Engel, an all-WIAC and all-American honors student in her first year at Northland University in Ashland, WI underwent off-season surgery to fix a shoulder injury that had hampered her for some time. She will likely be out of the lineup until at least after Christmas.
The Lumberjills opened the season with back-to-back non-conference losses against the Bethel University Pilots at Blaine, MN Oct. 29-30, then dropped two more on home ice against the St. Norbert College Green Knights, both by 4-0 scores on Nov. 5-6.
On Thursday night (Nov. 11), the Lumberjills received a jolt against the nation's third ranked NCAA Division 3 team, defeated 10-0 by the UW-Eau Claire Blugolds in its WIAC Conference opener in Eau Claire.
The road will stay rough as the Lumberjills move on to play the UW-River Falls Falcons Saturday in River Falls.

Engel in familiar spot with Lumberjills
As a player, Kaylee Engel found herself in an unfortunately familiar situation in her freshman year with the Northland College Lumberjills in 2020-21.
After honing her craft under the Reedsburg Polars/RWD youth hockey banners, Engel, 19, played four seasons of varsity with the Badger Lightning hockey club. She appeared in 85 games, scoring 29 goals and collecting 55 points and wrapped up her run with the squad as the team's captain in 2019-20.
A clear leader by example on the team, Engel did all she could to help a Lightning team that enjoyed limited success.
A worldwide pandemic played havoc for the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) women's hockey conference. Teams finally took the ice in late January, playing a compacted campaign. For a building Lumberjills squad, that season consisted of nine consecutive defeats.
With limited prep time, the gap between varsity hockey and NCAA Division 3 matches was a steep one for Engel who appeared in all nine games for the Lumberjills but was unable to collect a point on a team that scored just 9 goals and was shutout three times.
The team dropped home and away matches against the UW-Superior Yellowjackets, UW-River Falls Falcons, UW-Eau Claire Blugolds and UW Stevens Point Pointers in regular season play, then dropped a 6-2 decision to the Yellowjackets in playoff action.
Engel had five shots on goal and blocked shot, served one minor penalty and finished the season with a -12 ranking. She was called on to take a few draws in the playoff contest, winning one of three.
Engel realized hockey wasn't the only reason she was at Northland though and collected a nice perk when she was named to the WIAC Honor Roll along with 34 other members of the Northland Men's and Women's hockey teams.
Engel will return to Ashland, Wis. For her sophomore season this fall and the team's hockey schedule is still to be announced as of today. Watch for Engel to become a more offensive presence on the team with a partial season of experience under her belt.

Jimmy D's Notes — Hockey talk Aug. 19
Our goal here beginning Sept. 1, is to have daily items. Some days will be harder than others and in an effort to get something started here are a few random tidbits for today – Aug. 19, 2021.
Danny Roe was in town at the beginning of last season to take part in the team's first Alumni game at the Lake Delton Ice Arena.
Danny Roe
To start with, we want to wish a Happy 27th Birthday to Danny Roe. A native of Montana, Roe came to the Dells Ducks in 2013 and played 30 games, collecting seven goals and 15 points . He finished the season in the Western States Hockey League, but returned to the Dairy State playing three seasons with the Marian University ACHA squad and later, played some with the Fond du Lac Bears in the Great Lakes Hockey League, a senior circuit.
Roe was a force on top of the blue paint when he played for the Ducks in 2013-14.
Ducks open training Camp
The Dells Ducks 2021-22 players will be arriving in town over the next 24 hours if they haven't arrived already. Players, family and billets will be at the Lake Delton Ice Arena for an orientation day Saturday and the team will begin dryland workouts on Monday. Part of the first week's activities will be assisting Lake Delton Ice Arena Owner Aaron Kirby with installing the ice for this season. The Ducks also did the same last season.
Up next Recaps of College campaigns
Over the next week or so, we will highlight the freshman hockey seasons for Kaylee Engel, Jordan O'Connor and Julianna Teske, Sauk County residents who began their respective college careers in the WIAC and MIAC Conferences last season.
There won't be a lot of details as the NCAA D3 seasons were cut short due to the effects of the pandemic. Watch for game by game coverage of all three this season.

Pawlak and Dutton among Lightning leaders
Short on numbers, but big on guts and intensity, the Badger Lightning enjoyed what could be considered a turnaround campaign in 2020-21.
The fourth and final part of a summer project to compile records and statistics for the four Sauk County varsity hockey teams wrapped up just a few days behind schedule with the completion of the Badger Lightning.
Because 2010-11 was the start of both the RWD and Baraboo/Portage programs, that was selected as the starting point for all four teams. Unfortunately, there were no statistics for the Badger Lighting in 2010-11 on wisconsinprephockey.net, an amazing source for high school hockey in Wisconsin, these ones go back to 2011-12.
That season, the Lightning (then probably known as the Badger Thunder) put together an 11-11-2 record, the only .500 or better record for the squad which has compiled an overall record of 59-145-8 in the past decade.
The leading scorer, but a wide margin and the only skater with a three-digit point total in that stretch is Rachel Pawlak who racked up a total of 64 goals and 77 helpers for 141 points. The is the overall leader in all three categories – goals, assists and points. The leader in penalty minutes is Emma Capener with 73, but she will be surpassed likely early this season by Bella Bowden, just four minutes behind with two seasons yet to play.
Paige Pawlak sits second overall with 34 goals and 48 assists for 82 points, one more than Kathryn Vander Schaff. Kayla Capener, an all-State Honorably Mention skater this past season is fourth with 23 goals and 39 assists for 62 points after her sophomore season. Rounding out the top five is Kaylee Engel from Lavalle, the Northland College sophomore wrapping up her varsity tenure with 29 goals and 55 points.
Bowden will make a mark on the points list as well, currently 12th on the list with 25 goals and 35 points, she is just 10 goals away from behind second in that category.
In goal, Jamie Dutton leads most of the categories, including minutes (3364:12); wins 21, shots (2190) and saves (1975). Gabby Christensen is a close runner up in most of those stats including 2135 shots and 1917 saves.
This past season, despite being a shortened campaign, the 6-11-0 record for the Lightning marked its most wins since the 2014-15 season. Among the highlights, along with Capener's all-state mention was the team's first shutout since Jan. 31, 2015, when Katelin Elder kicked out the only shot she faced in a 1-0 win against the Beaver Dam Golden Beavers at Pierce Park Pavilion Feb. 11.
You can't get much more of a team shutout though as the defense limited the Golden Beavers opportunities and the team's other goaltender, first-year Alyssa Gada, took full advantage of a chance to shake off the pads, pacing the offense with a pair of goals.
The Lightning had just nine skaters in the contest and all nine collected points – eight of them contributing a goal.
The team's longest winning streak was five games, reached twice, Dec. 13-28, 2011, and again Jan. 31 – Feb. 10, 2014.
The longest losing skid – 22 games — not only carried through parts of three seasons, but also three coaches. It started with the final two games of 2017, beginning Feb. 9 with Rick Capener as head coach, and finally ended in the second game of the 2018-19 season with Tasha Zagorodnikova calling the shots. In between, Sara Durst was behind the bench for the 2017-18 season.
The win was a 10-3 decision against the Medford Raiders, one of two teams the Lightning have never lost to. Beaver Dam Golden Beavers is the other.
The new season will officially begin for the Lightning with its first practice on Nov. 8 and the regular season will kick off with a Nov. 26-27 tournament at Pierce Park Pavilion in Baraboo (opposition and times are still TBA. The first league Badger Conference contest will be Dec. 3 against Rock County Fury at Monroe SLICE.

Engel, O"Connor and Teske set to start college campaigns
Three players with local ties are set to begin their long-anticipated college hockey careers.
The recently released Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Conference (WIAC) Women's Hockey schedule shows Badger Lightning 2019-20 captain and Reedsburg resident Kaylee Engel, now with the Northland College Lumberjills will face off against Sauk Prairie's Jordan O'Connor, one of the top-ranked goaltenders in the WIAA last season who will begin her own college career with UW River Falls Falcons.
Generally, teams would be closing in on the post season by now with seasons getting underway in the fall, but COVID restrictions put in place by WIAC held things up until now.
Meanwhile, in the Minnesota Interscholastic Athletic Association, the Augsburg Auggies, including Julianna Teske, a former Reedsburg resident who moved back to town with her family recently.
Teske will also be suiting up for the first time in her college career.
Engel captained and led the Badger Lightning in scoring last season with 14 goals and 23 points. In 75 career games with the Lightning over four seasons, Engel notched 29 goals and 55 points.
While the Jills begin the regular season on Feb. 3 at River Falls, the team will also play a pair of exhibition contests beginning Tuesday (Jan. 26) at UW-Superior Yellowjackets and then Friday at home at Bay Area Civic Center in Ashland, also against the Yellowjackets.
O'Connor played every minute of last season for the Sauk Prairie Eagles varsity squad, compiling a record of 19-4-1 in regular season action, then adding two more in the post season, helping the team reach Sectional semi-finals.
Her 19 wins ranked he second in the WIAA through the regular season and her Goals Against Average and Save Percentage also ranked her among the best.
Her career stats with the Eagles saw her collect 21 wins in 27 starts with a 1.61 GAA. As a sophomore and junior, O'Connor spent time with the Madison Capitols.
O'Connor is one of three goaltenders on the Falcons, and one of two freshmen.
As this is written, there are no pre-season games scheduled for the Falcons.
Teske spend much of her youth career with the Madison Capitols and moved with her family to Warroad, Minnesota for her freshman year of High School.
Over four seasons with the Warroad Warriors, Teske played 99 regular season games, totaling 26 goals and 71 regular season points along with 20 playoff games where she added seven goals and 11 points. She also played on the Minnesota High School Performance Team in 2019-20, collecting three points in five games.
The Aggies are scheduled to begin the regular season against Hamline University on Feb. 6 at Tria Rink in St. Paul, Minn., but they will get an early preview Friday (Jan. 29) on home ice against St. Scholastica and then again, the following night in Duluth against the same St. Scholastica Saints. Both games faceoff at 7 p.m. and the Auggies schedule (https://athletics.augsburg.edu/sports/womens-ice-hockey/schedule) includes a link to watch the games live.
Saukhockey.info wants to wish all three college athletes the best of luck in their upcoming season. Hopefully, local female players watch and see the opportunity to play hockey at the college level is reachable by local athletes.

Local players may still play at WIAC and MIAC schools
The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference announced in a press release earlier this week that its Council of Chancellors voted to resume its NCAA Division 3 Winter Athletics schedule on February 1, dependent on the securing of ongoing COVID-19 testing.
Kaylee Engel was captain of the Badger Lightning last season
That is welcome news for athletes with Sauk County connections looking to get their respective college hockey careers underway.
Kaylee Engel, captain of the Badger Lightning varsity girl's hockey team will begin her first season with the Northland College Lumberjills while Jordan O'Connor who helped the Sauk Prairie Eagles varsity team reach the Sectional semi-finals last will suit up for the UW-River Falls Falcons.
Two other local athletes will play in the MIAC which as of today has yet to make an announcement on its regular season.
Sebastian Frank began his high school run with RWD as a student at Wisconsin Dells High School, but he was ultimately signed by the Forest Lake Lakers who transformed into the Minnesota Mullets of the United States Premier Hockey League. He wore a 'C' on his jersey last season as well and began his next chapter at Gustavus Adolphus as a member of the 'Gusties' this past Fall.
Jordan O'Connor makes a stop against Waunakee Warriors in Badger North Conference play in 2019-20.
Also, former Reedsburg area resident, Julianna Teske who played youth hockey with the Madison Capitols organization, moved with her family to Warroad, Minnesota where she played four years of high school hockey with the Warriors, putting up 26 goals and 71 points. Teske will begin her college hockey career with the Augsburg University Auggies.
The MIAC Conference did announce a start to the winter season but did issue a press release on December 15 announcing it would reconvene in January to investigate and hopefully, confirm plans for winter sports seasons, including both Men's and Women's hockey.

Jimmy D's Notes — Rising from slumber and on with the season
I thought 2020 was a dreadfully tough year and couldn't possibly get worse. October spiked the graph to some newly discovered high points though.
After months of mostly hearing and reading about a condition that seemed mostly far away, it was suddenly on my doorstep and banging to get in. It appears I personally staved it off for now, but it is at least a little scary when you know people who have been struck, no matter how minor the affliction.
Its not like I was so busy battling that I couldn't add anything, but I think I might have gone through a bit of a hockey depression. However, the good news is I am back now and raring to go again…just in time.
The season is now upon us at every level. The ice is either in, or going in, at all four Sauk County facilities (Lake Delton Ice Arena, Reedsburg Area Community Arena, Pierce Park Pavillion and Sauk Prairie Area Recreation Center). The junior team, after a rough start on and off the ice, is ready to get on with the season, the four Sauk County varsity hockey teams are in captains practices and now the local youth outfits are also hitting the ice.
A little further behind are the five locals looking to start their respective NCAA Tier 3 campaigns — freshmen Kaylee Engel at Northland Lumberjills; Jordan O'Connor at UW-River Falls Falcons and Mike Lennon, Assistant Coach of the Northland Lumberjacks from the WIAC Conference along with freshmen Julianna Teske with the Augsburg Auggies and Sebastian Frank of Gustavus Adolphus Gusties — both in the MIAC Conference. Both NCAA Tier 3 Colleges announced recently they have delayed the start of their respective seasons until January.
There are a number of Dells Ducks graduates who will also be entering College seasons and at least five have already kicked off their respective seasons on European professional teams.
Most teams have yet to release updated schedules but check here for details on the local hockey scene and the locals playing abroad.
Back from my brief hiatus, it is on with the show now. The regular season awaits.

Engel surprised by coaches leaving Northland College
With files from Northland College.
When Kaylee Engel announced she would be attending Northland College in the fall, Head Coach Kelly Rider played a big part in that decision.
A recent announcement though from the College has Rider leaving the program.
Kelly Rider has stepped down from her position as the head coach of the women's hockey program at Northland College to pursue other professional opportunities.
Rider was the first ever women's hockey coach at Northland. She started the program in 2015 and recently saw her original recruiting class graduate this past season. In her second year in charge, Rider's program beat Adrian College who was ranked #2 in the country and coming off of an appearance in the NCAA National Championship. Rider improved the program year after year and in 2019 guided the Jills in their inaugural season into the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, which is regularly regarded as one of the top hockey conferences in the country.
"It's been an honor to be part of the building of Jills hockey with all of our players the past 5 years," said Rider. "I'm proud of each player's individual growth on and off the ice and thankful for all their time and efforts. It's been special to watch the development and growth as a program, from the first commitment, the first game, the first win, the first graduates, and now the next generation of Jills hockey. I'm excited to see all that the program and players continue to accomplish."
Engel said Rider and her Assistant, Kaylee Harnen played a big part in her ultimate decision to become a Lumberjill and the news of her leaving the program came as a surprise to her.
"(I was) very surprised, but I wish them the best in the future," said Engel in a typed interview.
"Coach Rider and Coach Harnen both had a big influence on my decision to go to Northland. Coach Harnen helped me so much throughout the recruiting processes and they both welcomed me with open arms."
While wishing the coaches well, Engel is determined to take advantage of the opportunity that she has landed no matter who is being the bench.
"I have been able to talk to many players on the team, both returning and incoming and we are all very excited to see where the hockey program will go and are very excited to play this upcoming season," said Engel.
"Coach Rider has been an instrumental figure in constructing our first ever women's hockey program and we wish her luck in her next chapter," commented Interim Athletic Director Seamus Gregory. "Through her hard work she made what was essentially a dream become a reality. Northland College Women's Hockey is one of the pillars of our department with a thriving roster and from the diligent efforts of Coach Rider it will remain that way forever. The student athletes we have on our current roster and our incoming players will continue the strong tradition she built and move the program forward in a very positive direction in the WIAC and beyond."
A national search is currently underway for the head coaching position. The Jills will be returning for their second year in the WIAC, and they have already announced a large recruiting class from across North America.
"We have an unbelievable hockey community here in the City of Ashland," commented Gregory. "The support is phenomenal for both our hockey programs and we look forward to the national search for our next Head Coach."
The Badger Lightning captain this past season, Engel is one of four players with Sauk County ties to make the jump to the NCAA Tier 3 level this fall.
Jordan O'Connor who collected 20 wins in goal for the Sauk Prairie Eagles varsity team and helped them reach the Sectional semis will be a rival for Engel, patrolling the crease for the UW-River Falls Falcons in the WIAC this season.
Reedsburg native Julianna Teske, who played AAA hockey with the Madison Capitols before attending high school in Warroad, MN, committed to play at Augsberg University in the MIAC this fall.
Sebastian Frank attended Wisconsin Dells High School and played his freshman season with the RWD program before moving on to a junior stint in the USPHL with the Minnesota Mullets recently committed to play in the MIAC as well, with Gustavus Adolphus.

Pioneer 9, també denominada Pioneer D, va ser una sonda espacial de la NASA llançada el 8 de novembre de 1968 mitjançant un coet Delta des de Cap Canaveral.

Pioneer 9 va ser la quarta sonda d'una sèrie de sondes (formada per Pioneer 6, Pioneer 7, Pioneer 8 i Pioneer E, amb les quals va treballar conjuntament) amb la missió de realitzar el primer estudi detallat del vent solar, el camp magnètic interplanetari i els raigs còsmics, proporcionant dades pràctiques sobre les tempestes solars.

La sonda estava estabilitzada per rotació, amb un gir de 60 rpm i amb l'eix de gir perpendicular al plànol de l'eclíptica. Tenia forma de cilindre recobert de cèl·lules solars del qui sobresurten antenes i mastelers. Disposava d'una antena direccional d'alt guany, podent transmetre a 512, 256, 64, 16 o 8 bps. Es podia triar el format de l'enviament de dades entre quatre possibles modalitats, amb tres d'aquestes quatre aptes per a l'enviament de dades científiques (32 paraules de 7 bits per trama). L'altra modalitat era utilitzada per enviar telemetria sobre l'estat de la sonda. Al seu torn, es disposava de quatre maneres d'operació:

 Temps real: les dades eren obtingudes i transmeses directament, sense ser emmagatzemades, segons la velocitat d'enviament i la modalitat seleccionada.
 Emmagatzematge de telemetria: les dades eren guardades i enviades simultàniament, segons la velocitat d'enviament i la modalitat seleccionada.
 Emmagatzematge del cicle de treball: es recollia i guardava una única trama de dades científiques a la major velocitat possible, 512 bps; es podia triar l'interval entre la recollida i emmagatzematge de successives trames entre 2 i 17 minuts, amb una capacitat total per emmagatzemar dades de fins a 19 hores.
 Lectura de memòria: s'enviaven les dades llegint-les de la memòria de la sonda, enviant-les a la velocitat adequada segons la distància de la nau a la Terra.

La Pioneer 9 va quedar fora de servei en 1983.

Painting not only makes your house look better, but it protects the exterior of your home from the elements. If you are planning to paint your house or have professionals from places like Mylroie Painting Inc, you may need to strip it first. Below is how you can determine if you need to do this, and the steps you can take to do it..
Before you start painting, there is a test you need to do. This test will determine if you can start painting now, or if you need to strip the house first. Choose an inconspicuous small area that looks the worse. Clean the surface of this area, let it completely dry, and then apply paint to it.
Wait 24 hours and apply a piece of tape to this area, and then immediately pull it off. If the tape is clean, then you can wash and prep your house and start painting. If the tape removed the paint, you need to strip your house before you start painting.
Before you start stripping your house, you should was the walls to remove any loose paint chips, grease, and dirt. If you are going to use a pressure washer, you have to be careful, as it could cause damage. Do not let a powerful force of water hit directly at the siding, as it can get under it.
Use the pressure washer set to a low power stream to distribute cleaner on the walls. Use the same setting later to rinse the walls off. A solution of bleach and trisodium phosphate works well to clean and remove mildew. Mix this up and put it in your pressure washer, and then spray your house.
If there is vegetation near your house, make sure you cover it up, as the solution can kill it as it runs off your house.
Spray the cleaning solution so it covers the entire wall, and then let it dry. When it is dry, use the pressure washer again to rinse the walls with clean water, and let them dry.
There are different methods of scraping a house, such as chemical strippers, power scraper, and hand scraper. Hand scraping is the most work, but it is the most effective.
When you purchase a hand scraper, it will have a tall knob and a handle. It is designed to be used with both hands. As you are scraping your house, pull it towards your body, as this gives it more force, and will not dig into the wood. Spend a little more money and purchase a scraper that has a hard carbide blade. The cheaper scrapers have a mild steel blade, which dulls quickly and will make your job much more difficult.
It is easiest to start at the top of the wall, and scrape your way down. Watch the wall as you scrape to make sure all the paint comes off. It is much easier to scrape it off now than to have to go back and do it later.
When all of the paint is removed, use a fine-grit sandpaper to sand the surface. This will roughen the walls so the paint will adhere to it better. If there are any bad spots on the siding, repair it with wood repair materials.

The importance of vitamin D is often overlooked, not just by average people, but also by physicians. Extensive research has shown a link between vitamin D deficiency and a number of serious health problems. As you monitor your own health, ask your doctor to order a blood test to assess your vitamin D level. If you are deficient, make a plan to get your D up to an optimal level. Your health depends on it!
1. Vitamin D deficiency is a serious problem.
Although vitamin D is called the "sunshine vitamin," it is really a steroid with hormone-like functions that regulate over 200 genes. It is vital for growth, development and ongoing health. Vitamin D supports your immune system, and protects us from cancer, neurological, cardiovascular and bone health problems. A little bit comes from food you eat, and with adequate sun exposure, you can synthesize more – but you probably don't have enough.
2. As many as 75 percent of Americans could be deficient.
People who live in the Northern Hemisphere.
Pregnant women, who need a higher level of vitamin D.
If any of these apply to you, begin by learning your vitamin D status.
4. Get tested – and know what to look for.
You can ask your doctor to order a test, or you can order reasonably priced kits online. Your goal is to achieve optimal levels – not adequate. Many doctors look for an "adequate" level of reading of a serum 25-OH vitamin D level greater than 20 ng/ml, but most integrative medicine physicians consider this number to be on the low end. They recommend an optimal range of 50 to 80 ng/ml.
It is wise to work with your doctor to guard against potential interactions with medications.
5. Act to maintain healthy levels.
Check your level twice a year, spring and fall.
Expose your skin to a moderate amount of sun. Just 15 minutes a day at midday can help boost levels, depending on your skin tone.
If sun exposure is not an option, make sure you supplement. Use vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which is the type of vitamin D your body produces in response to sun exposure. Take your vitamin D3 supplement (preferably combined with vitamin K2) with a meal that includes some healthy fat. Most people need anywhere between 2,000 and 10,000 units/day, depending on their blood levels.
Be on the lookout for symptoms of excessive D3, including a metallic taste in the mouth, increased thirst, itchy skin, muscle aches and pains, frequent urination, nausea, diarrhea, and/or constipation. All of these could be signs that your D3 dose may be too high, although this is very rare.


Jurisdiction, shmurisdiction? Not so much anymore | Yavitch & Palmer Co., L.P.A.
Jurisdiction, shmurisdiction. That's what we used to think every time someone came in complaining of a police stop outside their jurisdiction. But it's not so clear anymore. And the Ohio Supreme Court recently gave us (the good guys, the defense attorneys) some ammo to work with on jurisdiction cases.
In State v. Brown, 143 Ohio St. 3d 444, the Ohio Supreme Court acknowledged that jurisdiction issues actually can have some teeth.
Here's the deal. In that case, a local township cop was patrolling an Ohio interstate when she noticed a car drift outside the white fog line. She decided to pull the car over and investigate (probably thinking drunk driver). It turned out the cop happened to have a drug-sniffing dog with her. And it also turned out the dog (after walking around the car) detected drugs. The cop searched the car and found some illegal dope.
Everyone agreed that under Revised Code Section 4513.39, the local township cop was outside her jurisdiction to make arrests on the interstate highway. The defense argued the search was therefore unlawful and violated both the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the similar provision of the Ohio Constitution. But the prosecution said, "So what?" The arrest may be outside jurisdiction, but the Fourth Amendment is federal law and the local jurisdiction violation doesn't matter. After all, the police had probable cause to search.
So the issue was whether the court should "throw out the evidence" under the exclusionary rule. That is, should the violation of the local jurisdiction law require the court to exclude the evidence the police found as a result of the stop?
The Ohio Supreme said "yes" to that question and concluded that a traffic stop made outside a cop's jurisdiction violates the Ohio Constitution (Article I, Section 14), which is similar to the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. So, the Ohio Supreme Court concluded, the remedy for the violation is to throw out the evidence.
What does all this mean? In simple terms, it means the defendant wins. This time, at least. And it is now clear that local-yocal cops can't work and play outside their own sandbox.
Check out the case here if you really want to get the details.
Or, better yet, just reach out to us to help decipher your problem. It's never hopeless.

Developing a Roadwork Procurement Public Portal for Vialidad Argentina
In 2018-2019, DG supported Vialidad Argentina, the Government of Argentina's National Roadworks Directorate (DNV), in the implementation of an open contracting (OC) data portal for the DNV. To complete this work, we've drawn on our foundation of conducting 12 OC assessments, developing backend tools for converting, validating, and publishing data in OCDS, and developing a suite of open-source analytics dashboards built to support system-wide visualization and reporting.
2018 - 2019 Build Procurement
Vialidad Argentina's Open Contracting Portal
The portal displays the DNV's public contracting data from 2016 to present day, using the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS).
The database includes contracting information for all stages of public procurement: including planning, tender, award, and contract data for 158 roadworks projects run by the DNV.
Getting to a Public Contracting Process
The portal was designed to respond to the needs of its end users: citizens and civil society in general that wish to monitor roadworks; public officers interested in how roadworks are being managed; and citizens with the necessary IT capacities to reuse the published data to create added value. In addition to publishing the data itself for the first time, the portal also has a user-friendly interface that allows users to quickly and easily navigate, understand, and analyze information. Users can apply filters to identify projects across several criteria – by date, name, status, company, file number, funding type, project location, funding amount, and construction type. It also enables users to follow a single tender from start to end.
Transparency Insights and OCDS
Using OCDS, organizations like DNV can increase public procurement transparency and allow external users to access available data. The procurement data that is currently available for publishing includes all stages of public procurement: planning, tendering, award, contract and implementation stages.
The open source technology DG's technical team chose to extract data allows us to pull information from several databases and documents, perform data migration both manually and at specific time intervals aligned with client needs, and the source code is easily maintained by the DNV team.
On the road in Argentina
Portal Launch & Impacts
The portal was launched in November 2019 and currently includes 158 projects with a value of 888.8 million USD. The project built on DG's OC Explorer model, an open source tool for storing, disclosing, and analyzing procurement data, and our suite of backend tools and open-source analytics dashboards built to support system-wide visualization and reporting.

Free Books / Reference / The American Cyclopaedia /
This section is from "The American Cyclopaedia", by George Ripley And Charles A. Dana. Also available from Amazon: The New American Cyclopædia. 16 volumes complete..
Fraction (Lat. frangere, to break), in arithmetic and algebra, an expression for an unexecuted division, originally invented to represent a quantity less than a unit. Thus | originally signified three quarters of one, and afterward was used for the fourth part of three, these two quantities being identical. The dividend number is called the numerator, because in arithmetic it numbers how many parts are taken; and the divisor is called the denominator, because it names the parts. These terms are retained in algebra, where it is evident that their literal meaning is inapplicable. Fractions are also used to express the ratio of the numerator to the denominator. Thus the expression a+b / a-b may signify the ratio of the sum of the quantities a and b to their difference, or the quotient arising from the division of that sum by that difference. The propriety of indicating the quotient and the ratio by the same sign is evident from the consideration that the quotient bears the same ratio to unity that the dividend bears to the divisor. A decimal fraction is one whose denominator consists of 1 with zeros annexed, in which case the denominator is not written, but is understood from a point being prefixed, with zeros if necessary; thus, .371 means 371/1000; .0371, 371/10,000, and so on.
A continued fraction is a fraction whose numerator is 1, and whose denominator is a whole number plus a fraction whose numerator is 1 and denominator a whole number plus a fraction, etc.

The following article was written by a friend of mine (Germain Pauwels - E-mail: gerpa@planetinternet.be) Germain lives in Belgium and is a respected judge in the Belgium Ring Sport. The English is not 100% correct but you will be able to understand his meaning from this article. I have not edited the article in any way.
Conductor and dog most follow a certain track, after the signal of the judge, he may give one command to start, and than he most follow the track, till the end.
Following without leash ( 6 points) Item as the first exercise but without leash.
Conductor must leave his dog, at a certain distance, in one of the tree positions. At this distance he may give one command to change the position of his dog.
The conductor must send his dog forwards (in a straight line) about 25 meters.
At a certain place the dog (alone) most stay down for about 1 minute. The conductor must be out of site.
Conductor most throw an object, (the object can by anything), at a certain place. Than hi may give one command to bring the object back.
The conductor receives a little wooden stick, which he must putting away. Afterwards he must put his stick between two or three other sticks at a certain place. The dog is not with them but he must stay at a certain distance. The conductor may come back to his dog, give some smell and most give the order to find his stick.
The dog most exceeds a wooden fence from 2.30 m height. To go up the conductor may seeing the dog, for the return, the conductor most stay behind the fence. Going is 8 pt, returning is 12 pt.
The dog must jump over the hedge, wait there and return on command. Going is 4 pt, returning is 6 pt.
canal length 1.50 m/ height hedge 1.20 m (10 points) The dog most jump over on command.
A canal from 3 m most be exceeds (12 points). After the first jump we place an obstacle behind the canal so that it become 4 m. To have the 20 points, the dog must exceed it.
The aggressor (protected by a bite costume) must attract the attention from the dog, this happen on a distance from about 20 till 50 m.
Event the category, the aggressor can use many different objects or water (depending the fantasy of the judges) to try to afraid the dog or to keep the dog away from him.
Also we can use different obstacles were the dog most go true or over.
Once the aggressor passes the dog, he may do what he wants to keep the dog away for biting.
The same thing happens like the attacks but the conductor most try to call his dog back so shortly as possible.
The biting points from the two attack's divides in two, subtracting the points from calling back (1 point by meter) plus the 5 points of departure gives the result for this exercise.
Conductor and dog most follow a track. Only to depart the conductor can't give a command. During the track, several things cant happen. Even a second or a third person can't take part of it. The aggressor treys to surprise the dog at different ways. After a part of the track, the aggressor most follow the conductor at a distance from about 5 m, during this following, the dog most inform the conductor that hi is followed. After doing this the conductor stay at a certain place and there hi receives a handshake from the aggressor. The dog may not react.
After the handshake, the last part of the track take place till the conductor came at the end, there the aggressor shell attack the conductor, the dog most react without any command and bite the aggressor for 5 seconds. At signal from the judge hi most recall his dog.
The dog received an arbitrarily object and we place both in the middle of tree circles. The conductor must by out the sight of the dog.
The tree circles are from the center on 1.5 m - 2.5 m and 3.5 m.
Three times the aggressor shall try to take the object away from the dog.
For doing this hi is able to take different things (water, balls, plastic bottles etc..) with him to freighting the dog.
When the aggressor come to close the dog most attack and return to his object, he must show that he can't defend his object.
The distance from attacking or going (biting) with the aggressor (1.5 - 2.5 - 3.5) is liable to penalty. The dog must work totally independent.
This happens the same way as without muzzle, but the aggressor is a civil (protected). There are two attempts.
The muzzle from the dog is very strong leather with steel at the front.
This exercise exists in two parts.
The aggressor is hide and the dog most find him. When the dog finds the man he most announce this by barking. When hi bites the man by finding hi lost 5 points.
After the discovery (begins part two - 25 points) the conductor comes by his dog, take the man out of his template and do the transportation.
During the transportation the man shell try to escape tree times. The dog must react without commands. In this last 25 points there are 10 for the transportation and 15 for biting.
When the dog daunt react within 5 meters at one of the tree attempts, hi lost the 25 last points of this exercise.
At several places there are decoys on the field, also a civil person give some decoy at the dog (mostly meat) . The dog must refuse this.
All these exercises give a total of 400 points.
We most remember that this program is sport, but if it's necessary we cant replace the objects and work in reality. After a few training's the dog shell work on the same way. Also, the order of exercises is always different like the exercises themselves. There are always two judges to make the program at the day of the contest. That's the most difficulty at this program, you most train the dog at many different ways.


Chris Tomlin is a household name. Almost every song that Tomlin touches turns to gold—and the music of choice for worship pastors. Singer Pat Barrett's "Good, Good Father" became a Sunday morning favorite when Tomlin released his studio rendition of the piece.
Now, Tomlin is set to drop his next album, HOLY ROAR, on October 26. To complement the album, he will release his book, "Holy Roar: 7 Words That Will Change the Way You Worship," three days before HOLY ROAR's release on October 23. This is where the anticipation begins to build. But, Tomlin has intensified that anticipation by dropping the Nobody Loves Me Like You - EP, a music trailer of four new songs from his forthcoming album.
Tomlin has opted to return to familiar sounds from previous offerings, particularly his ballads. In fact, three out of five songs on the Nobody Loves Me Like You - EP are ballads. Tomlin also adds the classic "Our God" to the EP's line up.
When I listen to a new Tomlin record, I'm always looking for power ballads similar to "I Will Rise" and "Sovereign." The tune "Nobody Loves Me Like You" easily fits the bill. A good song doesn't let the lyrics do the talking; instead the music amplifies the song's message, leaving listeners to raise their arms in praise. In other words, it's a perfect fit for Sunday morning worship.
The Nobody Loves Me Like You - EP is a satiating appetizer before the five-star steak meal, HOLY ROAR. Hopefully the main course doesn't disappoint, but I believe it will meet the quality that we've come to expect from Chris Tomlin.

White House Garden Harvest
Photo: Jerome Dorn
InDaHouse
President Obama stopped by the First Lady's final harvest of the White House Kitchen Garden for this Administration. After greeting the students from across the country and special guests who had joined Mrs. Obama for the harvest, he took time to admire the new table, benches, arbor, and entryway which the First Lady unveiled during the garden dedication.
At the harvest, it was a reunion of folks who have worked with us on our Let's Move! efforts over the years, from school nutrition to food marketing to physical activity. In fact, three people who were here at the very beginning to help get the garden started, former Let's Move! Executive Director Sam Kass, Former White House Executive Pastry Chef Bill Yosses, and White House Grounds Superintendent Dale Haney joined in on the fun. In addition, the First Lady also had help in the garden from Sesame Street's Elmo and Rosita, NASA Astronaut Kjell Lindgren, Al Roker of The TODAY Show, Ashanti, Alonzo Mourning, Farmer and CEO of Growing Power Will Allen, Burke County School Nutrition Director Donna Martin, and President of the Produce Marketing Association Cathy Burns.
But of course the most important helpers are the students! Throughout the last seven and a half years, the First Lady has invited kids to work with her on planting and harvesting the garden. Kids that currently participate in Let's Move! programsjoined for the final harvest as did students from two local D.C. schools who regularly help in the garden, Bancroft Elementary School and Harriet Tubman Elementary School. In fact, two former Bancroft Elementary students, Tammy Nguyen and Dorotea Debelack, who were at the very first harvest in 2009 also came back to help for this special reunion.

PRESIDENT OBAMA WELCOMES CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER TO WHITE HOUSE


Today, the strong sense of community and organization hold a universal appeal and as such, they neighborhood has become incredibly ethnically diverse. This appeal has brought with greater numbers and varying tastes with regard to homes. High View Park's primary housing options included modest single-family homes and simple garden apartments, but the neighborhood is seeing a rise in the development of larger tear-downs and high rise apartments and condominiums. Members of the John M. Langston Citizens Association do not oppose this development, but hope that new residents will honor the area's longstanding commitment to community and neighborliness.
High View Park's history is intertwined with that of its neighbor Tara-Leeway Heights. After the Civil War, Basil Hall, sold his once remarkable land, known as Halls' Hill, to his former slaves for well below market value. The lower part of the hill, which still commanded amazing views of the surrounding area became known as High View Park. The historically black neighborhood, governed by the John M. Langston Citizens Association since 1924, has matured and remained incredibly cohesive in spite of segregation and other forms of adversity. Previously denied access to the Arlington County amenities enjoyed by white citizens, residents of High View Park worked together to provide whatever services they might need within their own community.
High View Park has no Metro Station, but it is nearest to the East Falls Church Metro on the Orange and Silver lines, which is accessible via N Glebe Rd (VA-120). N Glebe Rd (VA-120),providing access to the District of Columbia; and to I-395 to the south, toward Alexandria.
High View Park is bounded by N Columbus St to the north, N Culpeper St to the east, 16th St N to the south, and N George Mason Dr to the west.

What to do with a 1 Gallon tank?
Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by kcarmartinez, Mar 29, 2010.
I love freecycle. I asked for a 2.5 to 3 gallon tank so my daughter could get her own betta.... someone offered a 1G... I took it and kept looking. (Oh, and I got offered a quart container from somone saying "that is all a betta really needs....") We used it over the summer till we were able to get the bigger tank (which wasn't long.) So, now what?
I was thinking of doing java moss, maybe some other low light plants and a half a dozen cherry red shrimp. But I am concerned that you can't put a heater in a tank that small and I was thinking black flourite sand so the UG filter it came with will be a no go?
So my questions are... will cherry red shrimp be OK in room temperature water? What should I use for filtration? And do you think this would work?
That's not enough room for a betts lettle lone a betts with shrimp.
so wait, did you already upgrade the betta and are now wondering what to do with the one gallon?
Shrimp add little to no bioload with their habits. Some will be eaten in a tank that small. I keep my 10 gal betta tank @ 80* I keep him with 3 platy, a small molly, small rubber pleco, and 3 ghost shrimp. I have like 8 plants and driftwood. You could find a small heater. Javawould work. Like I said though, your betta will eat thes shrimp. I would recommend gravel substrate.
Yeah, I think he's just asking how to care for the shrimp in the 1g.
In that case, Mom kept her shrimp quarantined in a 1g for a few weeks, she just had a small filter run by an air pump that she got from Wal-Mart (the green ones that suction to the wall) and regular water changes for filtration. To heat it, mainly her house is pretty warm cause of the woodstove, and she's got asmall aquarium lightbulb that she'd DIY'ed into the hood that gets it up to about 82f.
EDIT: Not sure if the light-heating method would be good for low-light plants. I know when mom had a huge problem with algae growth on her silk plants. Maybe some snails as well? She's got a couple in her tank.
Sorry for the confusion... the betta has long been moved. ;D I was OK leaving the betta in the tank for a short while over the summer but I don't think they make heaters small enough for a 1G. Besides with that small space it is easy for temperature swings. Therein lies my problem.
The concept I was going for is just a handful of shrimp/plants in the tank. The tank comes with a light, it may make it warmer when the light is on. The house is kept around 72 because I am always cold. But will the instability of the water temperature be OK for Shrimp? I know a heated tank would be best for them.
The sticky filter idea is kind of what I had in mind except I am concerned that the pump will be too strong. When I try to moderate the flow on my pumps it seems to put alot of strain on them, and I have lost a few pumps already (check valves are now my friend).
It is a cute tank and I would like to put it to use, or maybe I should just give up on it and get rid of it.

It's well-known that a traditional Mediterranean-style diet can prevent heart attacks and diabetes.
Now a group of Perth researchers say it could also delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease, and fruit could be the key.
Edith Cowan University researchers believe just two pieces of fruit a day could be the key to delaying the onset of Alzheimer's by years.
A three-year study found a high fruit intake slowed down the production of a brain protein known as beta-amyloid.
High levels of that protein can indicate Alzheimer's.
"You could actually reduce the amount of the cumulation over three years by up to 60 per cent," researcher Dr Stephanie Rainey-Smith said.
Citrus fruit such as oranges, grapefruits and mandarins are highly effective, as well as berries, but why is still unclear.
And it's not just about eating fresh fruit.
The classic Mediterranean diet focuses on vegetables, fish and olive oil.
The researchers say it's never too late to start the diet and improve your health.

Gr 5 Up—If you are looking for an aerial view of New York City without taking a helicopter ride, this is the film for you. For almost an hour, the viewer is shown various aerial views of the metropolis at different times of day with an appropriate, and excellent, musical score to fit the mood. There is very little dialogue, but major buildings and roadways are pointed out. Highlights include the Flatiron Building, the Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center, Brooklyn Bridge, Wall Street, Frances Tavern, Ground Zero, and more. The film is somewhat dated, as the site of the Freedom Tower is shown as a construction zone, but otherwise, all the historic buildings are still standing. This program is appropriate for older students or adults looking for a quick overview of New York City, particularly Manhattan, since there is very little emphasis on the outer boroughs.
VERDICT Great video for an aerial overview of New York City, but more appropriate as a background to an actual tour.

When faced with a water crisis, one starts to look for ways to keep safe, clear drinking water in the tap and to keep the vegetable patch behind the house alive without the use of municipal water. A grey water system is a solution, but don't forget – use natural cleaning products.
Grey water systems have become popular, but do you know exactly what you're pumping into your soil after cleaning and bathing?
HOW DOES CLEANING REALLY WORK?
We associate visible dirt with the presence of bacteria. Bacterial contamination is influenced by many variables and it is difficult to compare the situations in different domestic environments. Wet sites, such as kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, baths, showers and toilets are established as the areas that carry the most potential for cross-contamination within the household. Dishcloths and wet cleaning utensils are a breeding ground for bacteria.
Although disinfection can aid in preventing the spread of bacteria, the most effective methods must be explored. Disinfection includes drying, washing with soap and water and using heat. Although the above-mentioned methods prove to be effective to a degree, he results can be influenced by the type of organism, the temperature and soiling. Soap and water is only effective if applied in a very precise manner and if rinsed properly afterwards. When wiping down surfaces with soap and water only, the result is that the bacteria on the contaminated cloth is spread onto the surface as you wipe.
The results of the use of chemical household products are short-lived and re-contamination occurs within 90 minutes to three hours, especially in the wet sites around the house. As consumers, we cannot rely on marketers to take responsibility for educating us on the correct use of their products.
Vinegar kills 99% of bacteria, 80% of mould and is the most inexpensive non-toxic solution to all-purpose cleaning and laundry.
Oxygen bleach and chlorine bleach clean and disinfect. The active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide which is non-toxic and inexpensive.
Chemical cleaning products release volatile organic compounds (VOC) that are toxic and carcinogenic. Carbon-based chemicals easily become vapours or gases and spread in the atmosphere while one is cleaning. Sources can be solid or liquid with short-and long-term adverse health effects.
Multiple studies have concluded that the use of cleaning products in spray bottles is directly linked to inducing and elevating asthma in adults and wheezing and asthma in pre-school children. Toddlers who were exposed to these products prenatally showed symptoms later in life, around the age of three to four years old. Children whose mothers make use of chemical-based cleaning products during pregnancy are increasing the risk of wheezing in their children during early childhood.
The work environment also creates risks of chemical exposure and a large number of asthma cases were reported for cleaners and workers in offices and hospitals, as well as for domestic workers who exposed to domestic leaning products.
Even though domestic products might be less toxic than industrial cleaning products, they are still classified in the top five substances that are listed in human exposure complaints. Users of domestic cleaning products also have no training in how toxic these products might be and are at more of a risk than occupational users who take the necessary precautions to use these products safely.
When we clean our bodies and our living spaces, we expect to remove oil, dirt and bacteria. Chemicals containing oil and dirt will not break down, and thus become toxic to the environment. These toxins cause damage to soil, water systems and plant life. We can see that this becomes a problem when our grey water systems are allowing all of these chemicals to seep into the ground.
Important areas to consider when using grey water systems are hand basins, showers, baths and washing machines. These are the main pipe outlets that will run into a grey water system. We need to pay extra attention when using and cleaning these areas, making sure that no chemical goes unnoticed as it will have an effect on the quality of the grey water. It is therefore recommended to completely cut out the use of chemical products in these areas and switch over to strictly environmentally friendly products. These products are widely available and are just as effective, in my experience sometimes even more effective, than their chemical counterparts. These products are also very affordable and accessible and if you love creating your own products, you will save even more money.
Switch rags frequently to prevent breeding and spreading bacteria on wet cloths. Sponges can be put in the microwave for two minutes. This will kill bacteria by drying them out.
Kitchen sinks are considered black water because of the amount of pesticides, blood and oil they contain. Unless we consume fully organic and vegan diets, our kitchen sinks are contributing to environmental pollution. The effects of the oil washed down our drains are considered equal to the effects of oil spillage in the sea.
Using a natural, biodegradable dishwashing liquid and cooking without oil as much as possible help to minimise the impact. It is also important to note that water from dishwashing machines is not connected to grey water systems as the dishwashing detergent is considered to be too abrasive. It might be a good idea to switch to a natural dishwashing detergent for the dishwasher. Shop for alternatives – plant-based ingredients are fully biodegradable. Recommended eco-cleaning brands include: Better Earth Earthsap; Pure Simple; Nu-Eco; Triple Orange and Greenman.
