Wellness author and herbalist to the stars Rainbeau Mars opened her Feng Shui Venice home on Monday for an evening of wellness and a plant-based five-course menu from internationally acclaimed vegan chef and Mar Vista resident Matthew Kenney. And it all kicked off with dessert — frozen strawberry guava with the essence of coconut and kaffir lime.“A few small bites of dessert before you start the meal aids in digestion and absorption of vitamins and nutrients,” Mars told the intimate group after a cleansing sound bath that included Chinese medicine expert Dr. Mao Shing Ni, as well as actress and realtor Leslie Bega. “A little sweetness to start out will help digest the proteins before they start to ferment and cause digestive issues. Matthew has taken the herbs and plants gathered from my urban garden and transformed them into art for the body and mind. By combining the earth, the water, the fire and the air, we can reclaim the micronutrients from the colors out of the garden.”Matthe...Top 10 Onlyfans Australia OnlyFans Male & Hot Australia Gay OnlyFans

San Jose Sharks players and other NHLers will once again be allowed to use special stick tape to show support for certain causes.In a reversal from its previous stance that prohibited players from displaying “cause messaging” on their equipment, including rainbow-colored tape often used during LGBTQ+ Pride night celebrations, the NHL announced Tuesday that players will be now allowed to “voluntary represent social causes with their stick tape” throughout the season.The league said it made the decision in consultation with the NHL Players’ Association and the NHL Player Inclusion Coalition.The You Can Play Project, an organization that advocates for LGBTQ+ participation in sports and has partnered with the NHL for a decade, celebrated the reversal.“Actively welcoming communities into hockey is imperative to keep the sport strong now and into the future,” You Can Play said in a statement. “We appreciate every person, team, and organization that made their voice heard to support this c...Kurtenbach: New SF Giants manager Bob Melvin is the right man to implement Farhan Zaidi’s vision — whatever that is

The Giants have a new manager, and he’s the perfect choice to implement president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi’s vision for the team.Whatever that vision might be these days.Now, Bob Melvin’s bonafides shouldn’t need to be listed here. Suffice it to say the longtime A’s and former Mariners, Diamondbacks, and Padres skipper is an egoless man of high character who knows the game inside and out and wants to come home to the Bay Area. (He was raised in Atherton, helped Cal to the College World Series, played for the Giants, and was a famous patron of Piedmont restaurants.)Any team would be lucky to have Melvin, who won manager of the year in both leagues. The Padres’ organizational dysfunction has worked to the Giants’ benefit here.Yes, Melvin is the man for the job. He previously worked with Zaidi in Oakland and can understand and implement advanced strategy while keeping a feel for the game and maintaining good clubhouse spirits (well, in every clubhouse that didn...Correction: San Jose tiny homes

The California Department of Motor Vehicles on Tuesday shut down the problem-plagued Cruise autonomous taxis in San Francisco, saying they were an “unreasonable risk to the public” and that the company misrepresented how safe they are.The agency said Cruise, to get its permits back for testing and deploying driverless taxis with no human backup, would have to provide it with information about “how it has addressed the deficiencies that led to the suspensions.”The suspension has no set duration, the DMV said.In August, the state Public Utilities Commission gave GM’s Cruise a green light to take paid fares in hundreds of robotaxis with no human backup in San Francisco, despite incessant reports of the cars obstructing emergency vehicles and bottlenecking traffic. San Francisco Board of Supervisors president Aaron Peskin at the time called allowing the autonomous technology on public roads “a recipe for death” and said the vehicles were “...Latest news
