I'm deeply saddened of the passing of Bill "Tiger" Tonis who tragically lost his life in a car accident on Thursday, January 12, 2017.
Tri-Valley has lost one of it's most beloved members of their family to have ever blessed us with his presence.
Billy touched us on so many fronts throughout the years. His compassion for others was unmatched, whether it was on the field of play or in the dugout. Billy was always giving of himself, teaching, mentoring and supporting all members of the Tri-Valley family.
Mr. "Tiger" was a fierce competitor both as a player and coach having several League Championships and 3 National World Series Father/Son Championships. Billy was very proud of his individual accomplishments and his World Series Rings, but his greatest joy was to be on the field of play with his son William as a father, coach and all the other fathers/sons competing in the game he truly loved.
Billy was one of the original members of Tri-Valley, served as an instrumental Board Member in the earlier years, was inducted into the HALL OF FAME in 2003 based on his individual accomplishments and earned the LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD in 2008 for his ongoing contributions and support of the league and his players.

AURORA, N.Y. – Junior Ashley Roser (Taberg, N.Y.) of the Wells College women's basketball team was selected to the D3Hoops.com 2013 Women's All-East Region Second Team for her performance across the 2012-13 women's basketball season, D3Hoops.com announced late Tuesday afternoon. Players were nominated for the various D3Hoops.com awards by Sports Information Directors across all NCAA Division III schools. 729 players in total were nominated nationwide, setting an all-time record for the awards, conducted by D3Hoops.com for the 12th season.
Roser, who was selected as the 2012-13 North Eastern Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Year and is an 11-time NEAC Student-Athlete of the Week recipient across her career, becomes the first women's basketball player in program history to earn placement amongst the D3Hoops.com award winners.
This season, Roser led the Wells College women's basketball team to the playoffs in only their third year of existence. In 26 games on the season, Roser has averaged 21.2 points per game while also averaging a career-high mark of 16.7 rebounds per game. Roser also wrapped up the year leading the NEAC in both categories, edging Lyndsey Brognano of SUNY Institute of Technology by one point per game and ranking first ahead of Megan McDermott of Cazenovia College by greater than six rebounds per game, on average.
According to the most recent NCAA Statistical Report released on Mar. 10, Roser ranks first across all NCAA Division III women's basketball players with 16.7 rebounds per game while ranking second in double-doubles with 24. Roser, who led all players in double-doubles as her season concluded, was recently passed by Sarah Collins of Babson College, whose team recently fell in the second round of the NCAA Division III women's basketball tournament to the Jumbos of Tufts University.
Her 21.2 points per game rank her 10th nationally in that category while her 2.77 blocked shots per game place her 14th in the nation within that category. She ranks third across all players in triple-doubles this year, recording her first career triple-double on Wednesday, Jan. 30 against Cazenovia College, posting 20 rebounds, 15 total points and 10 blocks. Last season, Roser concluded her sophomore season ranked third nationally in rebounds per game (14.4) while as a freshman in 2010-11, Roser ranked sixth nationally in double-doubles (21), eighth nationwide in points per game (21.9) and 10th in rebounds per game (13.7).
Roser racked up a double-double across 24 of her 26 games played and boasts 61 career double-doubles in 71 total games played across her three-year playing career. She has recorded at least 10 points in her past 34 games and has failed to reach double-digit point totals in only two of her 71 career games played. She has also recorded double-digit rebound totals in all but only eight career games.
On Nov. 28, 2012 of this past season, Roser secured her 1,000th career point against the Saxons of Alfred University. Additionally, Roser secured her 1,000th career rebound on Feb. 10 of this year while also setting the program's single-game scoring mark of 39 total points against the Wildcats of SUNY Institute of Technology.
Roser currently holds the single-game program records in points scored (39), field goals made (13, 2/10/13 at SUNYIT), field goals attempted (2x, 29, vs. Morrisville St., 11/23/10; at Cazenovia, 12/1/10), free throws made (17, vs. Cazenovia, 1/22/11), free throws attempted (19, vs. Cazenovia, 1/22/11), free throw percentage (1.000, 3x, most recently 13-13, at SUNYIT, 2/10/13), most rebounds (31, vs. Penn St.-Berks, 2/13/11), and most blocked shots (10, at Cazenovia, 1/30/13).
For her career, Roser ranks at the top of the program record book in many statistical categories, including points (1,471), scoring average (20.7), field goals made (508), field goals attempted (1,157), free throws made (439), free throws attempted (599), rebounds (1,063), rebounding average (15.0), assists (168), blocked shots (199), blocked shots average (2.8), steals (136), games started (65) and minutes played (2,431).
In single-season rankings, Roser has led the team in numerous categories including points (551, 2012-13), scoring average (21.9, 2010-11), field goals made (199, 2012-13), field goals attempted (459, 2010-11), free throws made (162, 2010-11), free throws attempted (225, 2010-11), rebounds (433, 2012-13), rebounding average (16.7, 2012-13), blocked shots (84, 2010-11), blocked shots average (3.4, 2011-12), steals average (2.5, 2011-12) and minutes played average (35.5, 2010-11).
Roser, a two sport athlete for the Express, also served as the Wells College women's soccer team's starting goalkeeper this past season. In her rookie season, Roser posted a 7-12 overall record alongside a 2.81 goals-against average in 1,728 minutes of action. She accumulated three shutouts alongside her first collegiate point, an assist. She currently ranks first all-time in program history with 10.05 saves per game and fifth all-time with 191 total saves.
Currently, Roser holds the single-season record for victories in a season (7) and stands second all-time in shutouts in a season (3). She ranks third all-time with seven victories and was ranked second within the conference with 191 saves. Nationally, Roser finished her season ranked seventh in total saves.
Including Roser, only six players in Wells College history since the 1999-00 season have concluded their athletic seasons ranked within the top 10 nationally in official NCAA statistical categories. Ranking within the top-10 in categories for both women's basketball and women's soccer, Roser is the first student-athlete in Wells College history to accomplish that feat as a multi-sport athlete.

Blockchain technology and the logistics industry in South Africa
By Murray LeClair - Mar 26th 2018, 08:38
Blockchain technology has been something of a tech buzzword of late, especially due to all of the publicity around Bitcoin in recent months. While cryptocurrencies are the best-known use of blockchain as far as most people are concerned, its uses outside of financial transactions haven't failed to be noticed, and it is something that is now being leveraged heavily in the logistics industry.
Here are some of the possibilities blockchain presents outside of Bitcoin trading in South Africa:
Blockchain's Main Benefit In Logistics: Improved Transparency
Where blockchain tech is used, it creates a decentralised register of transactions that cannot be tampered with. Effectively, every user of a register owns an up-to-date version of a log, which they can only modify with the agreement of the majority of the system. This creates a number of inherent benefits that lend themselves very well to logistics, because it makes every part of the process, as a product goes through from one end of a supply chain to another, transparent.
Transparency is important because logistics is becoming ever more complex, especially where companies are striving to find faster and more efficient ways to offer their wares to customers. When blockchain is used instead of centralised registers, it becomes very difficult to tamper with data, and in turn, data can present a fuller and more detailed history for any given shipment or item.
How Blockchain Can Help Tackle Theft
Cargo theft costs the industry an estimated $15-30 billion USD every year, and these estimates are considered to be conservative, given that many companies do not report all of their theft losses for fear of showing that they have weaknesses in their security, for example in the vetting of the people hired to work with their shipments and deliveries. These losses end up being passed on as costs to consumers, and a recent estimate suggested that the price hike could be as much as 20%.
One of the biggest theft issues currently facing the logistics industry is what is known as fictitious pick-ups, where a crew presents falsified documents at a dock to collect a shipment.
Blockchain technology can be used to make it much harder for thefts and losses to take place during supply chain processes. With more transparent records that are less prone to mistakes or tampering, it is far easier to verify that products are making their way into the right hands, and far more difficult for cargo to 'disappear' in transit.
Is Blockchain the Future of Logistics and Supply Chain Management in South Africa?
Many big-name businesses are already either using or considering blockchain for logistics and so it is safe to say that, with time, it will become the established way for these things to be managed and recorded. Of course, rolling out new supply chain workflow systems is not a small undertaking for national or global companies, and so the shift to this technology being the industry norm will not be overnight.
Blockchain is now about so much more than cryptocurrencies and is a technology that businesses will certainly be keeping a close eye on this year.

We recently received a email asking about aluminum boats and how it holds up in salt water, because this particular individual was told by a friend aluminum doesn't hold up long term in salt water.
Well I put together a response to that email and i thought I would share my response to him.
Here is email original question:
"Hello, I have been looking at your boats and wanted to ask what you think about aluminum hulls and salt water? I been looking to upgrade my alumacraft and talking to a buddy saying the next boat I get I should stay away from aluminum's if I plan to continue to play in the sound. After 8 years my boat has shown some salt water damage. I wanted to get your opinion on why I should stay with aluminum boats. specifically if I choose to go with your boats. thanks "
Here is my response:
"Thanks for contacting us with this inquiry. There is a reason aluminum is such a favorite of the commercial industry and is continuing to be more popular with NW fisherman. It is extremely durable, and strong. Fiberglass cracks, fades, and is hard to repair. With aluminum boats, you just use them and don't worry about what happens. Now you mention salt water and protection from galvanic corrosion. Just like any piece of metal, aluminum will corrode over time, that is why boats that are left in salt water do need to be bottom painted, this creates a barrier from the salt water. It also helps with growth. The second requirement is having the proper cathodic protection. Typically called Zincs. All metal parts should have Zincs on them, like outboards for example have them. They are sacrificial and protect the boats. We don't use true Zincs anymore but choose to use a specific alloy of aluminum that is designed to better protect aluminum boats. Most engine manufactures use material as well.
As long as you replace your Zincs on a regular basis and keep the bottom paint on the hull you wont have any issues. I have fished on 40 year old boats in Alaska made from aluminum and they are just as good as the day they were new, if you keep up the maintenance on them. Cant say the same for 40 year old fiberglass boats.
Now there are different types of aluminum and they respond differently in salt water. 5086 alloy is generally considered industry standard for commercial boats. 5052 is used a lot in river jet boats because it is softer and can flex more when they hit river rocks. But it is not as good in salt water and does not have the same overall strength properties of 5086.
Aluminum boats are often referred to as Tin boats because of the thin gauge of aluminum used in their construction. That is generally only with the "cookie cutter" style aluminum boats that are mass produced and for sale at big box stores. They are also made with cheaper alloys of aluminum to help with cost and retail price. Now we only choose to only use 5086, it is one of the most expensive alloy grades but is the best. The Navy requires 5086 alloy below the waterline on all their contracts, if that tells you anything.
I hope this helps explain more on aluminum, boats, and salt water use."

That said, I think I'm personally just a bit burnt out at this point. Its also very overwhelming choosing how to level your character now, which is a good thing except I'm not sure it really synergises well with the existing prowess system since mispending points could be very punishing.
One might say that a non issue since AV now has a "cash shop" for character renames and re-specs. However I'm really not happy with being charged for that sort of thing on top of a subscription fee. Hopefully they will find a way to get rid of the subscription cost, this game becomes exponentially more fun when more people are playing it.

Environmental Hazards
By Darrell Holland
Our high tech society has evolved in many ways, and hunters have had their share of advancements. High protein food plots for maximum horn production, sophisticated camouflage, alluring scent products, and last but not least, great leaps in rifles, cartridges and scopes for the long range hunter.
Protein sources, scents and camouflage are no-brainers; they contain no *Rule 1 Violation*al or responsibility clauses in their use. Rifles and the apparent license in their use should come with a disclaimer or better yet, a booklet on long range ballistics.
As a custom gunsmith and long range shooting instructor I hear stories from scores of hunters shooting at big game animals at EXTREME ranges under horrific conditions and scoring one shot kills. There are numerous companies promoting extreme range hunting and intrepid hunters are eager to join the fraternity and receive their merit badge. While there are a few extremely capable individuals promoting such shooting/hunting *Rule 1 Violation*s, we must keep in mind the ability and knowledge of the hunters we are enticing.
Having run a long range shooting school for a number of years, we see a pretty good cross section of hunters come and go, many with years of shooting and hunting experience but lacking in the understanding of applied ballistics and hazardous environmental conditions that they face when going afield. It's a fun and exciting thing to "ring steel" at 600-1000 on a windless day at 70 degrees from prone or bench rest conditions and another thing to do so at 20 degrees in 12 inches of snow with a 3-5 mph breeze blowing left to right and shooting over your pack.
Over the years we've had some great shots attend our schools: military snipers, police marksmen, competitive shooters and some *Rule 4 Violation* good country boys who grew up with a rifle in their hands. Our range facilities allow us to shoot under real world conditions. Shooters tackle switching winds as well as angular conditions complimented by irregular and broken ground. These are tough conditions to shoot in and make consistent hits at 500-600-700 yards, not to mention doing so at 875-900 and 1000 yards.
Many folks have not a clue as to what the bullet is doing at 875 yards v/s 900 yards. At 900 yards a mere 2 mph change in the wind between you and the target can change bullet impact 10 inches. How many of these genetic links to Carlos Hathcock understand the effects of barometric pressure, temperature, elevation and humidity on their bullet's flight? I can assure you not many! Is it *Rule 1 Violation*al then to be shooting beyond our knowledge base? Does the cost of the hunt, or the last day of the hunt give you license to shoot beyond your capabilities? If you muttered a feeble "yes" to the above questions, you'd better sharpen your pencil and take good notes.
In an attempt to educate those hunters who walk the razors edge, let's go hunting and explore the pitfalls in an average mule deer hunt at long range.
Our test hunter is shooting a 300 Winchester Magnum with a 180 grain Nosler Accu-bond at 3000 fps. chronographed at 70 degrees. He is using 72.5 grains of R/L #22 with a Remington 9 1/2M primer. He zeros the rifle at 200 yards and using Sierra's Infinity 5.1 ballistics program plots the trajectory of his rifle to 1000 yards for his Colorado hunt. Confident that he has done everything right, he double checks the numbers: B/P 29.0, altitude 4500', temperature 20 degrees, humidity 20%. Yep, she looks good as he tapes the data sheet to the rifle's stock. He'll be hunting the wind swept prairies of eastern Colorado.
It snowed 12 inches the week before and a warming spell created a crust on the snow, making walking difficult and noisy. An hour from camp our hunter spies a great buck in the distance. Our hunter crouches low in the sage and walks to the side of a small hill, gaining a slight elevation advantage and better shooting position for the shot. It's 17 degrees outside as he struggles with numb hands to free his range finder from his coat pocket. Shivering from the cold and the excitement of seeing a world class buck, he zaps the laser rangefinder and it fails.
His warm breath condenses on the eye piece and freezes. Twice more it flatlines, and finally on the fourth attempt he gets a reading. The bold red numbers read 775 YARDS. He's confident he can make the shot. He's seen it done on TV many times. He recalls the success stories of fellow hunters at the gun club who have taken game at greater distances. He checks his data chart and dials the correction. At 775 yards the bullet will drop 123 inches, the hill is protecting the hunter from the 3-5 mph breeze that is blowing, the 12 inches of snow has covered the bunch grass and the stiff sage brush offers no indication as to wind velocity or direction. Focusing on the deer, our hunter does his best to provide the perfect trigger squeeze under the frigid temperatures.
Let's examine a few of the environmental hazards involved in the above shot.
1) Never rely on a single reading from the laser rangefinder when it has flatlined several times before. We MUST get consistent readings to confirm an accurate range to the target. The error factor is too great to risk the shot of a lifetime. A mere 25 yard change in the distance to the deer can result in an 11 inch point of impact change.
2) Our shooter has loaded his ammunition with R/L #22, not the best powder choice when it comes to temperature sensitivity. With a 53 degree change in temperature from his chronograph testing at 70 degrees he may well experience a 100 fps loss in velocity or MORE. With a 100 fps loss in velocity the bullet will drop an additional 9.75 inches.
3) The unnoticed left to right breeze of just 3-5 mph will cause a 14-15 inch deflection in our bullet's flight. Keep in mind that it is very difficult to accurately gauge the wind beyond the shooter especially over broken/irregular ground with hills and timber. A full value 10 mph wind will deflect the bullet 38.44 inches under the above conditions.
4) Add in a little flinch, imperfect trigger squeeze, or the rifle shifting under recoil from the less than perfect shooting position over the pack, and who knows where the bullet may strike?
The chances of our hunter connecting with the buck are pretty slim in my opinion. Wouldn't you agree?
Let's stretch the barrel a bit more and make the mythical 1000 yard shot under the same conditions.
At 3000 fps bullet drop is 249.84 inches, at 2900 fps (remember the 100 fps loss from our temperature change) drop is 269.87 inches--a 20 inch difference! Wind drift in a full value 3-5 mph wind is 26-27 inches, provided we have a consistent wind ALL THE WAY TO THE TARGET. Miss the target distance by 25 yards, add 18 plus inches to the drop.
These are point of impact changes with just a 100 fps change in velocity and a 3-5 mph breeze. Experience a 1.5 point change in barometric pressure and drop at a 1000 yds. increases to 279 inches. Hmm, are we starting to see the severity of changing and unpredictable conditions at long range? Cogitate on a 600 yd. uphill 20 degree shot, with a 7:30-1:30 quartering wind at 10 mph. Does bullet lift come to mind? If so, how much?
Ask competitive long range shooters how often they hit the X-ring with the first shot in competition? "Not very often," should be the reply! Keep in mind they are shooting at an EXACT 600-800 and 1000 yds. with wind flags from a very stable position with very little adrenaline/excitement flowing in their veins.
To reasonable shooting distances, at ranges up to 600 yards, a temperature/muzzle velocity change is the most important factor to be considered. Slight changes in elevation, humidity, and barometric pressure have very little effect on the bullets flight to 600 yds. with magnum velocities. With consistent and determined practice one can become quite proficient on game animals to 600 yds. Beyond that, it takes tremendous skill and experience combined with a little luck to make consistent hits at 800-900 and 1000 yds.
If you doubt this, take 12 inch squares of cardboard and attach them to a wooden stake. Have your hunting partner place them at different yardages (600-1000 yds.) and different angles to the shooter. Range and calculate the MOA correction for drop and drift and fire away. It should be a humbling experience. This 12x12 inch square represents the kill zone of a deer or antelope.
This simple test will allow you to assess your proficiency and determine your range limitation. Set aside your ego and be honest with your capabilities. If you can consistently keep ALL of your shots in the 12x12 inch square at 600 yards, but hit 2 out of 5 at 700 yards, your range limitation under ideal conditions should be 600 yards. On the other hand, if 450 yards is the extreme range at which you can keep all your shots on the target, stand tall. You are ahead of 95 percent of the shooters out there given the same test. As true sportsmen we need a moral compass to guide us in our long range shooting pursuits; this test can help us obtain that virtue.
Chronograph your ammunition at different temperatures. 100 degrees for summer antelope, 70 degrees for normal conditions and put several cartridges in the freezer overnight and keep them on ice with a thermometer at 20-30 degrees. Note and record the muzzle velocities with these temperature changes. Create data cards for each muzzle velocity.
The best powders for extreme temperature changes are the Hogdon series of EXTREME powders. They include the following: H-4895, Varget H-4350, H-4831, H-1000, Retumbo- Benchmark and H50BMG. These powders will provide the most consistent velocities in a wide range of temperatures. It is the responsibility of the serious hunter/shooter to check his or her ammunition for velocity changes when gunning at long range.
Above all, practice!!! One can never get enough practice. Do so under realistic outdoor conditions and be honest with your evaluation. Competence comes with perfect practice. No one packages or bottles it! Keep good records of your shooting, note temperature, wind, barometric pressure, humidity and the MOA correction needed to make a center hit under the above conditions. You will see some interesting comparisons when reviewing these notes.
Don't be a fair weather shooter! We see a majority of shooters who, when the wind is up, or it is raining, simply punch the alarm, roll over and catch a few more ZZZ's. Hmmm, they are missing a golden opportunity to see the effects of rain, temperature, humidity and B/P on their shot. Do we stay in the tent when it is raining or snowing? When the weather conspires against you, don your foul weather gear and get some experience. It can make the difference between success and failure in the future.
Wounding an animal is a heavy burden to carry and rightfully so. Know your limitations and never allow someone to push you beyond your comfort zone. Surgical one shot kills are what we are after. "Just get a bullet in 'em" should be removed from our vocabulary! If in doubt, stalk and get closer, there is no shame in a 450 yard shot.
Until next time, shoot straight and be safe in the great outdoors.

There are numerous reasons to have the air ducts in your home cleaned. They include keeping a safe and healthy environment for the family and reducing expensive maintenance or replacement of heating/cooling systems. West Coast Power-Vac believes the health and safety of your loved ones is the most important factor. The benefits that an air duct cleaning can provide make it one of the most important routine home maintenance steps you do.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
A clogged dryer vent is a potential fire hazard and can cause an increase in your energy biull due to restricted air flow which causes clothes to take longer to dry. A clean dryer vent is safe and helps dry your clothes in less time. In-turn saving you time and money. An annual cleaning is recommended.
Air Duct Sanitizing is often used as a preventative measure to protect against and minimize microbial growth such as mold and bacteria in your air duct system. It is also very effective in eliminating odors from within the air duct system, giving your home or office a fresh smell. Air Duct Sanitizing can often be beneficial when people have allergies or are moving into a previously occupied home.
Key Benefits
Savings – The US Environmental Protection Agency quotes that "Cleaning even 1/4 of an in of dust from cooling system coils can lower energy usage by as much as 20%." This can lower your utility bill considerably.
Life Span of System – An estimated 9 out of 10 central heating and air conditioning systems fail or operate improperly due to lack of preventative or routine maintenance.
Allergies – If family members have allergies, air duct cleaning is needed to give a healthy living environment for the allergy sufferers. Air ducts cleaning and sanitation of the system can considerably decrease the level of allergens in a home.
Odor Reduction – If you have a damp or musty smell in your home it is likely from dust or mildew that is growing in your air ducts. The most effective way to remove the smell would be to have a through air duct cleaning.
Air Quality – Most people should consider air duct cleaning an important factor in sustaining healthy indoor air. Dust mites, pollen, pet dander and toxins such as mold, mildew and rodent droppings can be found in air ducts. To prevent such pollutants from being circulated in your home, West Coast Power-Vac recommends a whole house duct cleaning every four years.
Customer Warning
The air duct industry is flooded with companies that do the bait and switch. So don't be misled by those low cost, money mailer and Valpak advertisements by companies out there charging an unreasonably low fee for cleaning your air duct system. They always find some kind of problem that requires an "additional fee".
Ask these two questions: What will it cost me to clean my air duct system if I choose not to do any additional work? Will you still do the job?

Snow Day by the Bay / Even S.F. gets a few flakes -- Petaluma cancels school
Snow covered many parts of the Bay Area and much of the rest of Northern California today, as a cold, wet and unstable Pacific storm brought a potpourri of snow, rain, hail, sleet, freezing temperatures and thunderstorms to the state.
Snow even fell in the western part of San Francisco, although it did not accumulate on the ground.
"It's really fun because you get to make snowmen," said 6-year-old Shannon Steffan, as her father, Matthew, and brothers Sean, 13, and Brandon, 10, conducted a running snowball fight this morning in front of their home in Petaluma. "It's never snowed here before."
A rare winter weather advisory was issued for the San Francisco and Monterey bay areas, and some Petaluma schools were closed as an unprecedented snow day was declared.
Matthew Steffan said the last snow he remembered sticking came 13 years ago.
"We woke the kids up 'round 7 a.m. and they were pretty excited," he said, as he retaliated against a snowball to the head thrown by Sean. "Then we turned on the news and they said there was no school and they were even more excited."
Petaluma school officials said they canceled school because they were concerned about high school kids driving on slick streets, although snow quickly melted on streets after sunup.
Around the Bay Area, residents were frolicking in snow of 2 inches or more. Typical were Jesse Clous and Ryan Hanley, both 23, who were pelting passing cars in between scooping the sidewalk on Petaluma's Sixth Street.
"They just honk and start laughing," said Clous, who was off his construction job because of the snow. "Nobody's gotten mad or anything."
"It's like Tahoe," enthused Hanley. "I don't have to go to Tahoe this week. It came to me. We get to be kids again for a couple hours. It's cool."
A Safeway grocery store clerk in Petaluma, who would give only her first name, Lori, said, "I can't believe how many (disposable) cameras I've sold today. I'm surprised we didn't run out."
Roads throughout the Bay Area were slick, slowing the morning commute to a worse-than-usual crawl. Highway 9 in the higher elevations of San Mateo County was closed by snow, as was a northbound lane of Highway 101 on the Cotati Grade in Sonoma County for a time at dawn.
Snow and slush made driving hazardous on Highway 17 over the Santa Cruz Mountains, in western Marin and Sonoma counties, and in various other parts of the Bay Area.
Snow accumulation of 3 inches was reported on Mount Umunhum near Loma Prieta in the Santa Cruz Mountains. And hail fell in Monterey about dawn.
Along with the interesting weather, a couple of fender-benders near the Bay Bridge toll plaza caused frustrating delays for San Francisco-bound commuters.
In the Sierra Nevada, chains were required on Interstate 80 over Donner Summit and on U.S. 50 from three miles east of Placerville over Echo Summit.
The National Weather Service issued a string of warnings of nasty weather, including snow advisories for much of the coast and Central Valley and in the Sierra foothills; freeze warnings along the Redwood Coast; a winter storm watch in the Sierra Nevada from Yosemite National Park south; and small craft advisories along much of the coast from San Mateo County south.
In the greater Lake Tahoe area, the weather service predicted heavy snow during the day and wind chill factors as low as 25 below zero. Several inches of snow were predicted by tonight in higher elevations.
Steady snow was falling this morning along Interstate 5 and Highway 32 near Orland in the Sacramento Valley.
The weather service said the wintry mix of precipitation would continue through the day, with afternoon showers likely to consist mainly of rain and hail. Showers could be briefly heavy but not prolonged, forecasters said.
Isolated thunderstorms were forecast to move onto the Mendocino coast during the day, and scattered thunderstorms were possible in San Francisco and throughout the region during the day.
The snow level was expected to rise from sea level to between 1,000 and 1, 500 feet during the day, with 1 or 2 inches of snow possible above 1,000 feet in some areas.
Early-morning temperatures throughout the region were in the 20s and 30s, and the weather service said cold temperatures would prevail again tonight.
Showers are likely to end during the night, although the snow level again was forecast to dip under 1,000 feet. Northwest winds up to 15 mph combined with temperatures in the 30s again will drive the wind chill into the 20s and teens.
Tomorrow's forecast was for mostly sunny and breezy conditions, with highs in the upper 40s and low 50s. Except for patchy morning valley fog, Wednesday and Thursday were expected to be chilly and clear before a chance of showers returns on Friday.
The winter storm was to blame for a handful of fatal accidents in Western states and Canada.
Fourteen inches of snow fell yesterday on Vancouver Island, B.C., and at Sequim, on Washington's Olympic Peninsula.
Several hikers got lost in heavy snow near Nanaimo on Vancouver Island; one teenager died, another was missing and presumed dead and several others were treated for hypothermia.
Schools were closed throughout western Washington and snow-covered highways caused hundreds of accidents in Washington and northern Oregon. Two people were killed in Washington highway accidents.
Air traffic was slowed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and thousands of people in Portland were without power as falling tree limbs snapped power lines.
Four experienced snowmobilers were killed Saturday near Missoula, Mont., when an avalanche struck in a high-risk area for slides, covering them with as much as 20 feet of snow.
The four, part of a group of 10 snowmobile riders, were not in a restricted area, but the Forest Service had warned that danger from avalanches in the area was high.

Top Four Tips for Selecting the Best Pool Construction Company
One way of increasing the value of your home is constructing a swimming pool, but most homeowners dread this undertaking because it is challenging. Even if you have all that is required to construct a pool, you will not get the best results if you do not choose the right pool construct company. Therefore, best pool construction depends on the quality of work done by the construction company and you should ensure that you select the best pool construction company that can do the job that you want. A lot of pool construction companies available claim to do excellent pool construction work but you should not make any commitment to any of them if you do not know their capabilities. This article discusses the important considerations when choosing the best pool construction company.
Opt for a reputable company – A well-established pool construction company that is well known for its exemplary work is best suited for the job. It is understandable that any pool construction company will be full of praise for it services, but you can rely on past clients' unbiased opinions to make an informed decision. Find out if it has served its past clients satisfactorily. Further, you will also learn about the rogue pool construction companies that you should avoid.
Licensed contractors – Pool construction is a complex and delicate undertaking which should be carried out by certified experts. The pool construction company you settle for should have a valid license from the relevant authorities to do the work. Find out from the relevant authorities if the company is licensed to construct swimming pools in the area. Beware of the cons in the market who do not have qualifications and certifications since they can build a substandard pool which can danger people's lives.
Experience – How long has the pool construction company been in service? Therefore, you should research to find out if the company you intend to hire has experience in pool construction. Several issues can arise during pool construction, but if you hired an experienced company, it would handle them properly since it has dealt with other several complicate scenarios. Even though some junior companies might do the job, it is not advisable to hire them since they can make costly mistakes. Do not be lure by the rates of inexperienced pool construction companies but pay attention to what they can offer.
Insurance – Just like any other construction process, pool construction is risky. A pool construction company should have insurance since the construction process involves a lot of dangers which might lead to loss of property or injuries. If you hire an insured company, you will have peace of mind because you can be sure to get compensation in case of damages. However, you can be sure of getting compensation for damages to your property if accidents or mistakes happen if you hired an insured pool construction company.

A mother who was told she could die during her pregnancy wants to use her experience to help others.
Hollie Sassienie, 32, who lives in Radlett, was diagnosed with a rare and potentially fatal heart condition, pulmonary hypertension, when she was about to give birth.
The condition, which leads to extremely high blood pressure in the artery between the heart and lungs, is especially dangerous during pregnancy.
She said: "I started to get dizzy and suffer breathlessness. At one stage I blacked out eight times in a day."
She went into hospital where a consultant told her she had a 50 per cent chance of survival.
The mother of one added: "I was terrified. How do you get your head around being told to get your life in order and tell your friends and family?
"Luckily the baby was already at a stage where she would be viable, but all I could think was that I was going to be leaving my husband behind alone with our new baby."
She added there was very little advice on offer as only a few thousand women suffer pulmonary hypertension during pregnancy worldwide.
Those with the condition are advised not to get pregnant for fear of risking their or their baby's lives.
Mrs Sassienie's baby, Gabriella, who is now 15 months old, was delivered through Caesarean section.
The new mother then spent ten days in intensive care in Hammersmith Hospital fighting for her life.
She added: "It was an extremely scary time and not being able to see our new daughter regularly added to my worries."
Thanks to specialist care from doctors Mrs Sassienie pulled through, though she still suffers breathlessness and will be on medication for the rest of her life.
She now wants to raise awareness of the condition, which can often be misdiagnosed as asthma, and give other mothers-to-be the support she lacked.
Mrs Sassienie and her husband Darren are about to launch a baby goods delivery company, Sassy Bloom, and will use it to raise £100,000 for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association.
She added: "The idea for the company, which launches in September, came about when I found it difficult to leave the house to buy things for my baby.
"The Pulmonary Hypertension Association is poorly funded as it relies on donations from sufferers.
"I want to encourage customers to donate and give something back to the organisation that helped me come to terms with my condition."

Latest Highlights
Product Description meets SEO
Well you've decided to sell your work online and open up your Handmade Artists' Shop, now how do you get found?
According to Clicksteam's smarter experts, the key is to have a good title, production description, and keywords. The keywords matter a lot. For example, the number of times that the word 'search' has appeared might seem an overkill and be regarded superfluous. But this is nothing that a outsource search engine optimization cannot fix for you. All your product listings are searched by google and about 17 other search engines everyday and indexed. This is so potential customers can find you. So the first order of business is the title. Whatever you list as your title will become part of your Meta Title for your product. This is searchable in google and other search engines. So if you copy your title of a product you listed last week and paste it into you google you should come up with a result like this.
Now the top line is the same as your product description. The next line is the link and then the description.
When writing your product descriptions you need to make the first couple of sentences count and be very descriptive as this is what will be in the search engine description. Otherwise known as the Meta Description, the Handmade Artists' Shop pulls the first characters in your product description and makes that your Meta Description which is what google sees.
After the first couple of sentences which is very descriptive about your product, you then can bring your personality into it. Have a little fun here, show your potential customer a little about yourself and go into more of the particulars on your work. You should have a couple of paragraphs here about the piece.
The next piece of the puzzle is keywords. These are very important for a couple of reasons. First the HAFshop takes the keywords that you use to describe your piece and puts them in the list of search terms for the site. So you need to start really thinking like a customer here. Ask yourself, what would I search for to find this on google? Those are the words you should use. The keyword handmade is a must and should be in all of you products, but not just handmade, you should add what is handmade. Use terms like handmade jewelry, handmade quilt, handmade scarf. The term handmade in your keywords should help your product be found in the search engines. The second reason why your keywords are so important is that we take these keywords and add them to the Meta Keywords for your product. This is what the search engines see when they crawl the site. The meta keywords are used by the search engines to determine what the content is on the site. They use they to figure out what the page is trying to reflect.
Now tie it all together. You should have some of your keywords in your title and your description. Think about it this way, you tell google that the product is a necklace and they search the content on the page. Their crawlers look at the title and the description to see if that keyword is relevant. Now your title shouldn't be 500 keywords but one should be incorporated in the title, your primary keyword the one you would search for if you were thinking like a customer. Your description is a much better place for, dare I say, keyword stuffing. Doesn't sound too pleasant but it matters, do you have a keyword listed for your Meta Keywords that is not shown in your description? If so google will not give that keyword too much authority. Say you have a keyword of Handmade, you have it in your title once and in your description 3 times. Google will look at this and say wow, handmade is important on this page. If this keyword is not on the page anywhere else google will not think of it as important at all.
Summing up all this wonderful information, google is not a person, it is a machine. LOL Saying that I mean you need to understand that googles' crawlers will only spend so much time on your product. Give it what it needs first. Descriptive title, but not too long 70 characters or less, give google a detailed description in the first 2 sentences, and give google quality relevant keywords.
Follow these steps and your products title, description, and keywords will help you get found on the world wide web.

During the Great Depression, Mary Immel lived in a small desert town in northern Arizona. In the center of her town was a railroad station with a restaurant called La Posada. With a penny in hand, five-year-old Mary would walk over to the station on a hot summer afternoon, towards the gumball machine, but get lost in the cool beauty of the building's hacienda and its magnificent green gardens.

Sinusitis affects 37 million people each year, making it one of the most common health problems in the U.S. Is defined as an inflammation of the sinus lining, and is commonly caused by structural issues such as ostial blockage, bacterial infections, viral infections or a combination of these.
Symptoms include: drainage of a thick, yellow or greenish discharge from the nose or down the back of the throat; nasal obstruction or congestion; tenderness and swelling around the eyes, cheeks, nose and forehead; and/or a reduced sense of smell and taste.
For many patients, symptoms vary and may include nasal congestion, facial discomfort, nasal discharge, headache and fatigue. Sinusitis is considered acute when symptoms last 4 weeks or less and chronic when it lasts 12 weeks or longer.
Learn More about Acute and Chronic Sinusitis
The most common treatments for sinusitis aim to reduce mucosal swelling and relieve obstructions within the sinus ostium and ostio-meatal region, and include:
However, It is estimated that at least 20% of chronic sinusitis patients are not successfully treated with medical therapy.
Balloon Sinuplasty is a minimally invasive, breakthrough technology used by a qualified ENT doctor to treat recurrent acute sinusitis patients, or chronic sinusitis patients, who have sinusitis symptoms that have not responded to sinus medications and therapies.
In some areas, Balloon Sinuplasty can be performed right in the ENT doctor's office under local anesthesia. The doctor begins by inserting a small, flexible balloon catheter into the nose to reach the inflamed sinus. The sinus balloon is slowly inflated to restructure the blocked nasal passage.
Unlike conventional sinus surgery, Balloon Sinuplasty preserves the normal anatomy of the sinuses and mucosal tissue, and does not require the removal of bone and tissue.
Previously, the only surgical option for clearing blocked sinuses was known as functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), which removes bone and tissue from the nose to enlarge the sinus opening. This removal of bone and tissue can require uncomfortable nasal packing after surgery and lead to post-surgery pain and scarring.
Sinusitis symptoms are painful and they can slow you down. Contact us to schedule a consultation with one of our ENT experts.

There is something happening in hospitals across the nation that most people are not aware of, it is called "patient dumping". Unfortunately, the reality is the term is exactly what it sounds like. People who are deemed ready to be discharged according to medical staff from a medical facility are wheeled as far as the exit, per most hospital's policy, and then left to fend for themselves. In most cases when a person is discharged, they have someone to accompany them home or are at least in a state of health and mind to be able to procure their own passage home. That is not always the case.
In Baltimore, Maryland on Tuesday, January 9, 2018, at the University of Maryland Medical Center Midtown Campus (UMMC) a man by the name of Imamu Baraka was walking past an exit when he saw four hospital security guards wheel a woman out to the bus stop and then go back inside. On close inspection, he found the young woman to be bleeding from her head, was very confused and was wearing only a hospital gown and socks with no clothing underneath. The temperature that night was a chill 37′ degrees. Baraka immediately took action, he began filming as he followed the guards inside and questioned them. They were apathetic at best.
Baraka is a licensed counselor and a Doctor of Healthcare Administration student. He could not sit idly by and watch the woman freeze to death. He called 911 so they would take her back to the hospital for aid then waited for two hours outside to ensure they did not "dump" her again. Instead, the hospital sent her via taxi to a homeless shelter. Thanks to Baraka's video her mother saw it and was able to come claim her mentally ill daughter who had been missing for two weeks. The woman was lucky to have such a Good Samaritan there to help her, but what about all the other "dumped" patients that aren't so lucky? It is against the law not to release patients into a safe setting. Enforcement is the issue. Hospitals, especially in large metropolitan areas, are already full of patients and overworked employees. The solution is out there, but people must care enough to find it.
