In case you thought 2020 couldn't get any stranger, Reuters is reporting that workers discovered a black metal monolith in the Utah Red Rock Desert National Monument. There is no indication of who put it there or when or why. Did it come from space and land here, so that we can evolve a higher level of human? Will it suddenly cure Covid-19, or perhaps do the opposite? Your guess is as good as ours. I'm sorry Dave. I can't tell you that. Utah’s highway patrol shared images of both the sheep a...
It's been almost two weeks since the City's Planning Department hosted their first webinar about the Housing Element Update - the plan to zone for an additional 8,874 residential units as ordered by the Southern California Association of Governments. Although the questions raised during the webinar have been posted online, none of the promised answers have been given. Every eight years, SCAG distributes among the 191 cities of the region the portion of expected new housing for which each needs...
Consumers love a good deal and will flock to the internet for Black Friday bargains. However, online-shopping may be risky, dangerous, and little, if any, actual value. A Red Points survey found that 68% of consumers were worried about buying fake or low-quality goods online.

We're in the midst of the worst health crisis of the 21st century -- and it's not COVID. The coronavirus is a terrible disease, of course. In just ten months, it has killed more than one million people around the globe. But there's a far more dangerous plague circulating through the population. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria infect one American every 11 seconds and kill one every 15 minutes. By 2050, these "superbugs" could kill 10 million people worldwide each year unless we invent stronger...
What good would it be to have your own women's prison weekly columnist if I held back on some of the most interesting and least known elements of what goes on in this place? I've given this a lot of thought and decided to share some of what I've observed in this place. So please, just for a moment, allow me to take your mind off of COVID-19 and entertain your imagination. We've all been aware of the EDD unemployment fraud. Millions upon millions of dollars going out to fraudulent claims of...
Most people here just float along, knowing their release is comming on a specific date. I don't get that luxury. I dare not imagine the undetermined, unknown day of my release. How old will I be? Where will I live? Who will, if anyone, pick me up at the gates? Will I die in prison?? These questions whisper in my mind as I hammer away at my goals. Goals set by the parole commissioner I met with in December 2019. College. Vocational training. I'm in 10+ self-help classes by mail. Each yielding...
The Independent Hospitality Coalition is extremely disappointed that the County of Los Angeles would take such drastic actions without consultation with members of the hospitality industry. Once again, despite any scientific proof that community spread of COVID-19 has increased due to socially-distant outdoor dining, the County of Los Angeles has determined to stop all outdoor dining. Instead of focusing on the facts, the Department of Public Health has looked for any easy target to place the...
Laughter was on the menu at Tiato restaurant in Santa Monica, which was the place to be this week when a slew of A-List comedians performed at the 'Shindig Stars Under The Stars' to raise funds for the Santa Monica chapter of The Prostate Cancer Foundation. Extreme planning and care was taken by Tiato's owner Cathy An, who ensured with her team, that social distancing was in full effect at the stunning restaurant's huge outdoor space. Comedian Jimmy Shin, star of Amazon's 'Jimmy Shin's Wok Of...
