Gabriella Raelyn Finds Stray Kids

Gabriella Raelyn Finds Stray Kids: L.A. singer, songwriter and producer Gabriella Raelyn told us about her Stray Kids experience.Gabriella Raelyn: The best band I ever saw was Stray Kids on their Maniac tour at the BMO Stadium on April 2nd, 2023, by far. I’ve been a fan of theirs for two years already, and the reason I connect with them so much as an artist is that like me, they write and produce all of their own music. I especially relate to the group’s subunit, 3RACHA, composed of Leader Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, since they produce, arrange, and even sometimes mix their own music–again, as I do. I have always had massive respect for that, since their level of creative freedom is sort of hard to come by in the Korean pop industry. Because of that respect, and also out of my pure enjoyment of their eclectic discography, I was pumped to go to their show.One of the most memorable things about the show was the build up in the beginning. The house lights went down, and the only thin...

Iconic Santa Cruz Wharf eatery Firefish Grill to reopen

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:24:42 GMT

SANTA CRUZ — Well known for its local specials and astonishing ocean views, Firefish Grill has been a staple on the Santa Cruz Wharf for decades albeit under a few different names and owners, but retained by the same family since 1980.“Me and my dad got in an argument one day in the kitchen,” said Firefish Grill owner Mark Gilbert. “He said, ‘Why don’t you just buy me out then?’ and I said, ‘OK fine.’ That’s how I ended up buying the restaurant.”In 1989, ownership of what was then called Malio’s restaurant, after the original owner Malio Stagnaro, passed from restaurateur father, Jim Gilbert, to his son and current owner Mark Gilbert. The eatery then changed names to Gilbert’s Seafood Grill, and about two decades later to Firefish Grill.In April 2022, in the Firefish Grill kitchen, a flat top grill was accidentally switched on while the kitchen was being cleaned after the restaurant had closed. The establishment had a robust fire suppression system in place, which should cut the gas...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:24:42 GMT

SAN JOSE – PayPal Park has never hosted a playoff game since it opened in 2015. That may change this year.Three months into the season, the San Jose Earthquakes (6-5-5) are fifth in the Western Conference as they prepare to host reigning Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.The Quakes have already beaten two of the teams ahead of them, winning at second place Seattle and splitting two hard-fought games against third place (and defending MLS champion) LAFC. They are only three points behind Dallas, who they tied on May 27.The top seven seeds are guaranteed to host at least one game in the best-of-three first round. The Quakes, who are four points clear of eighth place, haven’t hosted a playoff game since 2012, when they were still playing at Buck Shaw Stadium on Santa Clara’s campus.The turnaround comes thanks to renewed investment in the club, which has three designated players for the first time, and the arrival of first-year coach Luchi Gonzalez, ...

Smoke from Canada’s wildfires has reached as far as Norway

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:24:42 GMT

By Laura Paddison | CNNThe smoke from hundreds of wildfires burning in Canada, which has already blanketed parts of the US and placed around 75 million people under air quality alerts, has reached as far as Norway, according to scientists in that country.Over the last few days, plumes of smoke have stretched from Canada across Greenland, Iceland and made their way to Norway.Scientists at the Climate and Environmental Research Institute in Norway (NILU) have been able to detect the increase in smoke using very sensitive instruments and then confirm its origin using forecast modeling.People in Norway may be able to smell and even notice the smoke as a light haze but, unlike parts of the US that have seen hazardous pollution, they should experience no health impacts, said Nikolaos Evangeliou, a senior scientist at NILU. “The fires traveling from such long distances arrive very diluted,” he told CNN.Over the coming days, the plume is expected to spread across swaths of Europe but it’s u...

‘Sound of thunder’ will never go away, but electric car revolution gains unlikely new member: Roadshow

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:24:42 GMT

Q: Hey there, Gary, I remember you have a Prius? I always complained when I got behind one, and still do! I did not buy one, but did join the electric car revolution. Mine provides transportation, not a lot of thrill, but saving over $500 a month is pretty cool. My wife, Susan, is saving $300 each month, too, with hers. That’s over $800 a month we’re saving!I’ve been an ICE car owner (internal combustion engine) all my life. As a car collector, I decided to join the revolution with an electric car that goes over 340 miles before a charge. Believe me, the change was not easy! It is hard to believe all the technology cars have today with wipers that go on when water hits them, cars that park themselves, sensors that are aware of everything around you and, of course, self-driving vehicles. I feel I am doing my part and politicians need to join the 21st century. I still have my ICE cars with the sound of thunder, which will never go away.Mike Hennessy, San JoseA: Mike&...
