The past few years have been challenging economically for the County of Kern. Due to the fall in the price of oil, the county has endured budget cuts and hiring freezes, and this past year, public safety was cut to balance the budget. Anything that can save the county money and allow us to operate more efficiently and productively, while still maintaining a high-quality level of service to our constituents, should be put to use. The Lean Six Sigma initiative is one that I am excited to see imple...
The "big dream" for many singer-songwriters is to have their music used in film or TV scores. For Ernest Troost, it was the other way around. Troost became an Emmy Award-winning composer of movie and TV scores first, and only recently became an award-winning folk-blues songwriter, as well. "Songwriting was something I had put in the trunk and sat on for 20 years because it was an impractical thing to do," he said. "I hadn't done it since high school." Ernest Troost will return to Fiddlers...

But what if you need to write a letter, do some 3D animation, design a logo, record a multitrack tune, edit a video, or remove the tourists from your photo of the Eiffel tower? To do any of those things, you need to buy specialized software, and most of it is pretty expensive. Try these free alternatives...

People are going to be coming together to show their support for science, and believe it or not science does need our support.

It involved the idea that you could change the descendants of a plant or animal by doi...
Stallion Springs CSD has installed a new radio system for better communications between the field staff and the office.

The dry goods like flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices will get mixed together and added to the creamed part of the dough. Flour is a delicate thing, and it needs to be measured carefully. You should stir up the flour in its container, and then spoon it from the container to a dry measuring cup. Don’t heap or pack the flour into the cup...
