Just One Thing To Do This Week: Breathe
By MARY BETH MAASSEN
Los Alamos
There are two Mary Beths.
Mary Beth One is calm and professional and well-organized (and all my friends reading this are thinking, “Really?!? I have never met her!”).
Mary Beth Two is easily overcome by angst and remarkably unproductive (“Ah!” my friends now say, “that’s the Mary Beth I know!”).
The only way Mary Beth Two can feel like she is moving forward is to watch just a very minutes of “Hoarders” or “My 600-Pound Life”. Only a few minutes or I am overwhelmed by feelings of sadness and sickness.
I am glad I am not the people on the show–and why-oh-why would they Read More

How The Hen House Turns: Anthropomorphism Or Not?
BY CARY NEEPERLetter To The Editor: IHM Initiates Feasibility Survey
By Rev. Glenn JonesOur community is unique in that so many people come from all over northern New Mexico to work here at LANL—from Chama to Belen and beyond. One of the things lacking in our community is a Christian-based school, which parents might opt to utilize should they feel moved to do so.
Not infrequently, parents—Catholic and not—have queried us as to whether we might one day start a school here at IHM for this purpose.
This letter is to inform parents and our extended community that IHM has initiated a feasibility survey in which Read More

McQuiston: Replacement Cost Value Versus Market Value … What’s the Difference?
By ALLEN MCQUISTON
The Jemez Agency
Many homeowners often wonder why the limit on their homeowner’s insurance policy is more than the market value of their home. In some cases, there can be a drastic difference between what you recently paid for your home versus how much insurance coverage you have. It’s just a way for the insurance company to get more premium, right?
Not quite! Keep in mind that market value and replacement cost value are two completely different things. For instance, a 2-story home with 2,000 square feet of living area can have a range of market values contingent on a variety of Read More

NMED News:Pastor Raul Granillo: We Are Christian
By PASTOR RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos
The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. (NIV, Acts 11:26)
In the Nazarene Church, one of our core values is that we are a Christian church. Let me be clear to begin with, there are many Christian churches that bring many beautiful, and distinctive characteristics to God’s Church. We have differences, but we are bound by some common beliefs that make us Christian. So, what is a Christian?
The short answer is simply that a Christian is a person who puts their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. This sounds like the obvious answer, but it demands that Read More
Just One Thing To Do This Week: Hang In There
By MARY BETH MAASSEN
Los Alamos
So many people are sick right now. Los Alamos has been hit hard by the flu, which showed up a little late this year, and a very nasty virus is circulating, keeping people in bed for days. It is down-right hazardous to leave the house.
I had that virus a few weeks ago and it knocked me off my feet for nearly a week. Someone asked me how I felt and I said, “I feel like I have been hit by a bus.” And then I thought, “Oh wait, being hit by a bus is nothing like this!”
Several years ago when I was living near Hermosillo, Mexico, I was hit by a bus. It was totally my fault. I thought I was in a parking Read More

When award-winning chef Laura Crucet Hamilton opened Pig + Fig Café a year ago this month, fine dining returned to White Rock.
In one short year, Hamilton and her staff have made Pig + Fig a home away from home for many White Rock residents, but unless you’re a gourmet cook, the food is probably a lot better than you could whip up for breakfast or lunch.
