Wolfgang Puck Worldwide Dismissed From Woman’s Cooker Burn Suit

A judge has dismissed Wolfgang Puck Worldwide Inc. as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by a woman who alleged she suffered serious burn injuries in 2020 after she put her hand on a defective Wolfgang Puck bistro pressure cooker and it exploded due to the failure of the cooker’s safety features. Santa Monica Superior Court Judge Mark Epstein heard arguments on Jan. 7 on Wolfgang Puck’s dismissal motion, then took the issues under submission before ruling Friday in the case brought by plaintiff Angela Tate, who also sued W.P. Appliances Inc. in Hollywood, Florida. Tate filed the case in July 2022, alleging strict and negligent products liability and breaches of the implied warranty of merchantability as well as the fitness for a particular purpose. According to Tate’s suit, on Aug. 9, 2020, she suffered “serious and substantial burn injuries” during the “normal” use of the Wolfgang Puck 8-quart Rapid Pressure Cooker when its “scalding hot contents” spilled onto the plaintiff. An excerpt from her pretrial deposition included within her court papers stated that she also hurt her right shoulder when she jumped back and

Superman Ride to Close for Good at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Six Flags Magic Mountain is permanently closing its popular but troubled Superman roller coaster, according to a new report out this weekend. Maintenance issues have long plagued Superman: Escape from Krypton, which has been closed since September. “Just like other roller coasters within the theme park industry, there’s a life cycle with these coasters,” Magic Mountain President Jeff Harris said on a video conference call, the OC Register reported. “It’s just reached a point in time where we need to make a wise decision on where we really should reinvest funds that improve the guest experience the most. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense from a business perspective to put it back into Superman. “Some of the parts are obsolete. It’s really tough to even get parts to keep it alive.” Lex Luther: Drop of Doom, the 400-foot drop-ride attached to the Superman coaster tower, will reopen in April following seasonal maintenance work, according to the report. Superman: Escape from Krypton opened in 1997 and was once the fastest and tallest coaster in the world. Harris added that park officials have not yet

What should be San Diego’s official flower? Vote in the March Madness-style Final Four

The March Madness-style competition to name San Diego’s official flower is down to the final four, and online voting is now under way. Local residents are encouraged to pick between the bush sunflower and the California wild rose in one semifinal, and to choose between California buckwheat and blue-eyed grass in the other. Voting on the semifinal matches, which began Saturday and runs through April 7, will be followed by a final match between the semifinal winners. Online voting in the final match will take place from April 9 through 14. The goal of the competition is finding a replacement for the carnation — a non-native flower that has served as San Diego’s official city flower since 1964. Local environmental groups say choosing a native flower as the city’s official one will encourage residents to cultivate native flowers, which help support local bees, birds and butterflies. Native plants underpin the survival of all local species, Andrew Meyer of the San Diego Bird Alliance told City Council members last week. That’s especially important in San Diego County, the most biodiverse in the nation. The bird alliance

Yosemite National Park summer reservations open after delay

By Anthony Solorzano | Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Yosemite National Park announced it has opened reservations for summer camping in a number of its popular campgrounds after a new reservation system and staff cuts caused delays and questions about when they would become available again. Reservations for dates between June 15 and July 14 in the Upper Pines, Wawona and Hodgdon Meadow campgrounds, among others, were made available at 7 a.m. Monday. Reservations for dates between July 15 and Aug. 14 open at 7 a.m. on March 31. Reservations can be made on Recreation.gov. In February, reservations were delayed indefinitely while the National Park Service received approval from President Donald Trump’s administration on its new reservation system. Then sweeping cuts to the federal workforce announced by the administration a few days later made it unclear when reservations would become available again. About 10% of the Park Service’s staff has been lost amid the cuts with hundreds more taking buyouts offered by the administration. But on March 20, the National Park Conservation Association announced it was authorized to reinstate all probationary park staff who

Blend your way to better chicken vindaloo

By CHRISTOPHER KIMBALL Vindaloo is an Indian dish of Portuguese influence that typically is associated with the state of Goa on India’s southwestern coast, but the curry is popular around the world. Made with pork, lamb or chicken, it’s notable for its vinegary tang, a generous dose of garlic and the spiciness of dried chilies. In this recipe from our cookbook “ Milk Street 365: The All-Purpose Cookbook for Every Day of the Year,” we puree a host of spices in a blender, along with fresh garlic and ginger, bracing white vinegar and a bit of brown sugar. The result is a thick paste that is sweetly aromatic. After the chicken soaks for a bit, both meat and marinade go into the skillet to cook and reduce. The Kashmiri chili powder used in India is vibrantly colored with moderate heat; we found a mixture of sweet paprika and cayenne to be a good substitute. If you purchase Kashmiri chili powder, substitute 4 teaspoons for the paprika and cayenne. Don’t worry if the chicken sticks to the pot immediately after it is added. Allow it to

Warriors’ Curry scores a 3-book deal, starting with a “personal reflection” on his life and career

How Californians spend so much more than fellow Americans

California is a pricey place to live, but the way money is spent is not universal. My trusty spreadsheet reviewed curious consumption data created by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These stats track household demographics and average consumer spending in 2022 and 2023 within 22 U.S. regions – including three in California. These figures give us insight into where a family’s dollars go and how that differs by geography. And it’s no news flash that Californians make more than the typical American. By this math, the average annual household income before taxes was $154,992 for the Bay Area, $124,346 in the region surrounding Los Angeles, and $122,832 in San Diego. Nationally, it’s $97,911. However, note a significant difference in how many paychecks it takes to create that family cash flow. Contemplate that roughly 50% of households around L.A. have two earners, 40% in San Diego, and 30% in San Francisco and nationally. These lofty incomes are a key reason Californians can spend more than the typical American. The report says typical expenses ran $110,886 a year in the Bay Area in 2022-23, $91,204 in San

Myanmar’s earthquake death toll jumps to 1,644 as more bodies are recovered from the rubble

BANGKOK (AP) — Myanmar’s ruling military said Saturday on state television that the confirmed death toll from a devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake rose to 1,644, as more bodies were pulled from the rubble of the scores of buildings that collapsed when it struck near the country’s second-largest city. The new total is a sharp rise compared to the 1,002 total announced just hours earlier, underlining the difficulty of confirming casualties over a widespread region and the likelihood that the numbers will continue to grow from Friday’s quake. The number of injured increased to 3,408, while the missing figure rose to 139. Rescue efforts are underway especially in the major stricken cities of Mandalay, the country’s No. 2 city, and Naypyitaw, the capital. But even though teams and equipment have been flown in from other nations, they are hindered by the airports in those cities being damaged and apparently unfit to land planes. Myanmar, also known as Burma, is in the throes of a prolonged civil war, which is already responsible for a humanitarian crisis. It makes movement around the country both difficult and dangerous, complicating relief efforts and

‘Neighbor from hell’ arrested, charged after terrorizing West Hollywood apartment complex 

Residents of one West Hollywood apartment complex are breathing a sigh of relief as their “neighbor from hell” was arrested and charged with a felony and a misdemeanor this week.  According to residents who spoke with KTLA 5’s John Fenoglio on Mar. 20, the man had lived in the building for years but only recently began acting erratically. The residents did not show their faces in fear of retribution.  FEMA extends debris cleanup program for Southern California wildfire victims “It was like a light switch,” one resident said. “He went from being okay – albeit not a great neighbor – but [was never] like this, destroying the apartment, attacking people, attacking our door out front with a bar.”  “We’re just having to live with it for the last three months,” they added.   A tenant in a West Hollywood apartment complex has reportedly been terrorizing neighbors with violent behavior.
