When we lose a loved one, we often want to make sure our final farewells encompass all they were and all they loved. We feel pressed to make sure everything they wanted is brought to the service, memorial or celebration of life. We forget that we, too, are a part of this farewell. It is important to remember that these events are not only to honor those who have passed, but to bring some level of closure within ourselves. Under the pressure of making sure everything is lined up just right for...

Charlie was born on November 7, 1938 to Pedro and Hillaria Hernandez, one of nine children who lived to adulthood (two siblings died as children). Charlie's father...
This has been a banner year for one of the main wild food sources in the Tehachapi Mountains: acorns. Acorns are the nuts produced by our various species of tree and shrub oaks. Our landscape is defined largely by our oaks, and acorns are their seeds, the source of all our past, present and future oak trees. Each acorn is an embryonic oak tree. However, almost none of these will actually grow into a standing tree one day. There are many, many obstacles that an acorn, and the seedling that it...

If you are reading this article, I am assuming you are at least thinking about an estate plan. So, let's continue! What are the benefits of a Living Trust? A trust does not get filed with the court. A will does. Transferring your biggest assets into a trust makes it a whole lot easier for your heirs, I should say kids, to manage your assets upon your death. The person you name as the successor trustee can manage your assets if you become incapacitated. It can also be highly customized to fit...
Few people would be thankful for a painful fall. But after Tehachapi cattle rancher Jessie Milano took a tumble last summer, she soon learned that she had a lot to be grateful for. "I got hit by a flat cart, and I fell on my right side," she says. "It knocked the wind out of me, and I had a lot of pain in my right breast." When the pain lingered, she visited Amber Medina, FNP, her family medicine provider. After several tests, Adventist Health's experts found the source of Milano's pain - she ha...

In the shadow of several elections and a couple of wars, with central banks pivoting and equity markets on an unusually long bull run, late 2024 may feel especially dangerous. One way to remember that risk is just the water we swim in is to enumerate and describe our uncertainties. It makes them feel tractable. What follows are my three big questions, and my guesses at their answers. I choose the word...
Shopping for computers has changed immensely throughout the years. Since the inception of the home Personal Computer (PC), most computer users were used to this setup: the tower computer, monitor, and of course, the different peripherals connected to the tower, i.e. keyboard, mouse, printer and such. When laptops became more affordable to everyday users, those became the way to go for portability and ease of use. Over 10 years ago, the All-In-One Computer (AIO) was becoming more popular as an...
