This Sister is Blissful Over Kate Bush: Former Faithless icon Sister Bliss told us about her Kate Bush experience.Sister Bliss: As soon as Kate Bush announced she was touring again, after a 37-year hiatus I knew I had to be there to witness one of the events of the decade. If not my life! I set alarms and took the morning off work to sit anxiously online, as the spinning wheel of doom came up every time I clicked on a ticket. And through various internet crashes where everything went black.After four stressful hours I suddenly had two in a basket. Oh my god! It was actually happening!The trauma of getting tickets for Kate Bush was thankfully outweighed by the brilliance of the gig. There she was resplendent on stage bedecked in feathers, ethereal and magisterial, with a glorious choir and band. With her voice deeper and richer than in our youth, resonating out to the Hammersmith Apollo’s rapt audience including Elton John & David Furnish below us holding each other through this ...

Evidence is mounting in court documents that an Orange County sheriff’s detective illegally listened to at least five recorded calls between a jail inmate and an attorney — including calls in which the officer was warned by the lawyer not to listen.Recordings of the calls were included in a motion filed Wednesday, April 12, by Assistant Public Defender Scott Sanders in an unrelated drug case. Sanders is seeking the personnel records of newly promoted Sgt. Matthew LeFlore in that case.Sheriff’s spokesperson Carrie Braun said the department is examining Sanders’ motion to determine how to proceed.“The department takes any allegation of misconduct seriously,” Braun said. “We are reviewing the motion and are committed to investigating, if discovered, any instances of misconduct.”The conversations were among the nearly 34,000 attorney-client calls that were inadvertently recorded by the sheriff’s telephone vendor, GTL, now known as ViaPath Technologies.

Disneyland announced Thursday, April 13 that it will hold its first officially sanctioned Pride Nite as an after-hours ticketed event.This is a departure for Disneyland Anaheim, which has allowed unofficial events such as the annual “Gay Days” celebration, but has never held an official event on its own.“I’m happy Disney is finally doing something, especially in the wake of what is going on in Florida,” said Eddie Shapiro, organizer of the annual unofficial Gay Days event in Anaheim.Shapiro was referring to a dispute in Florida between Disney and the governor, over HB 1557, a new law dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” that bans discussion of gay issues in public K-3 classrooms. After then-Disney CEO Bob Chapek criticized the proposed law, Gov. Ron DeSantis moved to assert control over the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which oversees land use and maintenance for Walt Disney World.The Anaheim Pride events are scheduled for 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. on June 13 and 15 as part of a series of “Disneyland ...

Left lane is the new slow lane on many streets: Roadshow

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:15:56 GMT

Q: When did the “passing lane” become the new slow lane? Consistently, when I drive westbound on Ygnacio Valley Drive into Walnut Creek, most vehicles are in the “passing lane”, then the center lane, with the slow lane usually wide open. Do people think they’ll get to where they’re going faster by clogging up and going slow in the passing lane? Or did the driving laws change and I missed it?Gerald Fogel, ConcordA: Yes, your observation is right about relative lane speeds now, on many city streets, and sometimes the freeway. The laws didn’t change, but drivers’ choices and behavior have. A few years ago, a traffic cop scolded me for saying there was no fast or slow lane on a wide city street, but I still disagree. So many people think the far left lane will be faster, and they just need to look around to see what the reality is, on that street, at that time.Now we’ll flip to another road that has gotten a lot of attention, only th...

Spain: Court releases man charged with sending letter bombs

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:15:56 GMT

MADRID (AP) — A Spanish magistrate on Friday ordered the conditional release of a man charged with terrorism for sending six letters containing explosives to high-profile diplomatic and government targets. The National Court magistrate said Pompeyo González Pascual, 74, must appear in court each week, relinquish his passport and remain in Spain as conditions for getting and remaining out of jail. In deciding to release him, the court considered that González Pascual had no previous criminal record and found there was no indication he might commit more offenses. A date for his trial has not been set.González Pascual, a resident of the town of Miranda de Ebro in north-central Spain, was arrested in January for allegedly sending letter bombs to Spain’s prime minister and to the U.S. and Ukrainian embassies in Madrid late last year. An employee at the Ukrainian Embassy was slightly injured while handling one of the letters. Police said they found a bomb-making workshop at González Pascu...
