It is classified as an insecticide, and acts by coating overwintering insects hiding...
Although it is a difficult conversation, I always encourage families to discuss end of life decisions, even if they are a young family. The truth is, tomorrow is not promised to anyone of any age. Informing loved ones of your wishes, even if it's only verbal, can alleviate a great deal of stress on them should you pass unexpectedly. Too often I have sat with families who have no clue what their loved one wished for in their end-of-life decisions. This, on many occasions, has led to squabbling...

As we step into the first few weeks of 2025, I'm reflecting on the major change that I have experienced this past year, my journey into plant-based living. January 15 marks one year since I made a lifestyle leap, inspired by the Blue Zones, the regions where people live long, vibrant lives fueled by simple, plant-focused eating. Incorporating more plant-based proteins like beans, lentils, nuts and seeds has transformed the way I cook, eat and live. Our plates have been filled with colorful veggi...

Two decades ago, inventor David Schmidt found himself on a mission to solve a critical problem for Navy SEALs. During their grueling "Hell Week," SEALs often endured 40-hour missions without sleep, relying on stimulants like caffeine and amphetamines to stay alert.

On my last visit to my cardiologist he told me I need to walk at least a mile a day. I listened to him and decided to walk around to yard sales in Golden Hills one day. I spotted a metal detector at one sale and thought this was another good way to encourage more walking. The metal detector was in need of a little care with fasteners lose and lots of cleaning. The owner wanted $3. But since I was concerned it wouldn't work, I walked away with my $2 detector. I got a nine volt battery from the...
Once you retire, you'll likely need to draw on a variety of financial sources – and one of the most important ones may be your 401(k). And for 2025, you can put even more money into your plan than ever. You can invest in your 401(k) in one of two ways, depending on your employer's plan. With a traditional 401(k), you contribute pre-tax dollars, which can lower your taxable income, and your money can grow tax deferred. If you have a Roth 401(k) option, you can contribute after-tax dollars, w...
As we watch parts of California going up in flames, lives surrounded by ashes, I've been reading a book circa 1865, a time when people chose to become pioneers, chose to trim down their possessions to bare minimum and head out into the unknown wilds of an infant country. Most were driven by hope for a better life. For some it was a yearning for adventure, desperation for others. Unlike the fire victims of today, those pioneers made that choice. Usually pioneers ventured forward with some...

In 1914 when she was only 11 her father, Odilon Cortez, immigrated his family from the small Mexican village of Cosio in Aguascalientes, to Tehachapi.
