When the summer heat surrenders to crisp mornings and flowers are dotted with dew, our eyes go searching for tomatoes. The magnificent and colorful jewels abound in roadside stands, farmers markets and our own kitchen gardens across our state.
Too soon our divine caprese salads and fresh and fragrant salsa recipes do not call for the volume of pulp we have on hand. Crates and boxes, buckets, baskets, strainers and vacant hats spill over with the harvest. Read More

Once every 43.8 seconds, a vehicle is stolen in the United States according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Thefts like these cost millions of dollars for owners and insurers, and cause insurance premiums to skyrocket – making everyone a victim.
Every July, the NHTSA hosts National Vehicle Theft Prevention Month. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) is urging consumers to help put the brakes on auto theft.
For over 100 years, the NICB has fought to protect the public from auto theft. But as NICB Read More

Fr. Glenn: Making Media Social
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
I watched a very informative documentary on Netflix the other day that might be eye-opening to many: “The Social Dilemma”, in which former social media executives are interviewed about the tactics of those websites to draw people in, and to keep them hooked. Much of it is well known, but hearing it expressed and expanded upon by insiders really hits home.
Since social media became “a thing”, teen and pre-teen suicides have increased multifold. That very self-conscious age group is always seeking positive reinforcement, so readily measured (they think) by “likes”, “friends” Read More

A barrier wall stands between our nation’s two strains of politics. The people on either side are largely persuaded they have good reasons for keeping this wall up to full strength. Too few see any need to send or receive information and ideas back and forth through the wall. Such exclusion neglects the past … and the future.
The nation’s founders did not set out to design the world’s first faultless nation. Nor did they pretend they had. They knew the importance of making changes over time and laid out various sets

In January 2020, Tibbar Plasma Technologies went emissions free. We now have a year and a half of data, and I thought that some of the readers of the Post might be interested to know how this has worked out.
Our primary motivation for doing this was to eliminate our utility bills and thus lower our overhead costs. This is particularly important for us because we do high risk/high payoff research and we do have times when we don’t have contract money coming in.
We converted our heating and cooling Read More
Whipple: Benefits Of Using Standing Desks
By Dr. Laura Whipple DC
Los Alamos
I often recommend the use of a height adjustable desk to my patients as a way to switch things up during the day.
Moving from standing to sitting throughout the day is a great way to remind us to check-in with how our body is feeling, do our stretches and change posture. A study in the International Journal of Workplace Health Management found that workers who used standing desks reported better mood, improved productivity, better concentration and decreased upper back and neck pain.
In addition, physiological studies on workers who use standing desks show an overall Read More
