The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) was formed in Paris in 1833 by a group of lay Catholics.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, and once again I'm writing a reminder to get yourself checked. All of you, both women and men. Everyone I know has been affected by some kind of cancer, in one way or another, either directly or indirectly. I'm fortunate to have dodged that bullet for myself (so far), although I have had a couple of scares. But mostly I have been in the fight with friends and family who have been diagnosed. My mother had breast cancer twice and beat it both...
If you've glanced up in the skies over Tehachapi in the past month or so, you might have seen lots of large dark birds circling. These are Turkey Vultures, and their annual migration is one of the great natural spectacles of California.

There are not just hundreds, or even thousands of birds, but tens of thousands – a Turkey Vulture count in the fall of 2000 recorded 38,743 Turkey Vultures flying o...

I met one of my favorite relatives when we moved to California from Minnesota when I was 6. Audrey, my dad's first cousin, had platinum blond hair, twinkling blue eyes and a warm smile. She and her sister had left our hometown as young women to arrive in glamorous Los Angeles in the 1930s. I always admired their independence and courage to make that move. She and her sister were independent, as most Finnish women are, but they were surprisingly bold in their speech and exuberance. I always...
Many of you are aware that I continue to train for another marathon. I am taking another stab at the NYC Marathon on Nov. 5. Although I successfully completed the event last year, some injuries during training didn't make for a great finishing time, so when the rematch presented itself, I took the opportunity. With just a handful of weeks to go, the training is winding down and for whatever reason it has been an extra-grueling endurance portion this year. Maybe it is my schedule, the inconsisten...

On Sept. 26, a beautiful calm morning at Mojave Air & Space Port, Universal Hydrogen conducted their first test flight of "Lightning McClean" at Mojave.

When your password suddenly won't work with a website or email address, there is usually a "Forgot password" link. The site may want to send a code to your phone or your recovery email address, or you'll get asked for answers to your security questions. Sending you a text with a reset code is a great way to reset passwords. It 'proves' you're you because you have your phone, plus it's fast and easy. Some sites call the number on file and 'read' you the code if you gave them a landline instead...
