A Private Sensory Retreat With Chef Matthew Kenney and Rainbeau Mars

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:58:11 GMT

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...

Kurtenbach: New SF Giants manager Bob Melvin is the right man to implement Farhan Zaidi’s vision — whatever that is

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:58:11 GMT

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&#...

DMV shuts down Cruise robotaxis in San Francisco, saying company misled on safety

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:58:11 GMT

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 “...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:58:11 GMT

By Audrey McAvoy | Associated PressHONOLULU — All of West Maui except for burned-out sections of historic Lahaina will reopen to tourism on Nov. 1 following the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than century, the mayor of Maui County said Monday.Mayor Richard Bissen said he made the move after talking about it with his Lahaina advisory team, the Red Cross and other partners.West Maui has about 11,000 hotel rooms, or about half of Maui’s total. Travelers evacuated those hotels after the Aug. 8 fire raged through Lahaina town, killing at least 99 people and destroying more than 2,000 buildings.Hawaii Gov.

Bissen modified the governor’s declaration with a phased plan, allowing a small section on the northern edge of West Maui to open first with the rest to follow at an undetermined date.The community has had an impassioned debate ...
