High Voltage Heaven for Amorphis

AC/DCHigh Voltage (Atlantic/ATCO)High Voltage Heaven for Amorphis: Bassist Olli-Pekka Laine of Finnish prog-metal band Amorphis told us about his love for an AC/DC classic.(Atlantic/ATCO)Olli-Pekka Laine: AC/DC’s High Voltage, which I received as a Christmas present from my big brother, was my first hard rock album.In that sense, it is a groundbreaking record for me. It’s strange to think that, at the time, it had been recorded around six years ago, since it already felt like something almost ancient.Any AC/DC album up until, let’s say, Flick Of The Switch, could be played in its entirety anytime. So, essentially, any of the earlier AC/DC records could be my all-time favorite.High Voltage just happened to be my first introduction to the band and therefore holds a unique position in my heart.High Voltage Heaven for Amorphis: Amorphis’ album Queen of Time — Live at Tavastia 2021 is out now.           ...

Monday Morning Lights: Campo coach stays on message as Cougars move up to top division

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:46:03 GMT

CAMPO: HOW IT DOES IT YEAR AFTER YEARAmid the celebration after his team’s dramatic comeback victory over rival Acalanes on Friday night, Campolindo coach Kevin Macy stayed on message.In the eyes of the longtime coach, Campo is still the Little School That Could.“We don’t have what everybody else has,” Macy said after his team overcame a two-touchdown deficit in the fourth quarter to beat host Acalanes 25-24 and secure a playoff berth. “But we just have kids that will never quit. That’s the best way I could put it. There’s football players and then there’s kids that play football. We’re just on the side of kids that play football.“They have football players,” Macy added, referring to an Acalanes team that has lightning-fast playmakers Trevor Rogers and Paul Kuhner. “But we just have a tightness in our program. We’re neighborhood kids. We’re not like the schools that bring in all the special talent. So the kids learn how to fight for each other. They just have that bond of friendship...

Women’s college basketball preview: The outlook for all six Bay Area teams

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:46:03 GMT

The Stanford and Cal women’s basketball programs go into their final season of Pac-12 play with something to prove.For Stanford, it’s that a costly 2-3 finish last season was an anomaly and that the Cardinal is underrated now as a result.For Cal, the challenge is to rise above .500 for the first time since 2018-19 in a crucial fifth season under coach Charmin Smith, going into the final year of her contract.A seismic cross-country shift to the ACC is ahead for both in 2024-25, but that’s an issue for another day. Navigating the Pac-12 – with six AP preseason nationally ranked teams and nine projected by ESPN to make the NCAA Tournament – demands full attention.“We love playing against Pac-12 competition,” said Tara VanDerveer, in her 38th season coaching at Stanford and 45th as a collegiate head coach. “It’s sad and hard to believe it’s the last time we’re going to be playing these teams. It’s very surreal for me. But I’m really focused on this year, this team, and having a great se...

Travel Troubleshooter: I’m freezing! Can you help me get out of this Airbnb?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:46:03 GMT

DEAR TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER: You have helped me before (and I am so grateful), but I need your help again unfortunately. I am currently in an Airbnb near Washington, D.C. I’m in the basement, and it’s 63 degrees Fahrenheit.Christopher Elliott, the Travel Troubleshooter I have no control over the temperature. The host controls it upstairs, and I am freezing. The host forbids me from opening any windows to let in the warm air, and I am so cold that I feel like it’s some sort of torture. The host taped up some of the air conditioning ducts in the basement, which initially helped. But tonight, when I came back to the rental, the air conditioning was blasting again, and even with multiple jackets and blankets, I am miserable.I called Airbnb’s customer service tonight, and the initial representative said that he would escalate this. He also mentioned that due to health and safety concerns, I could immediately be moved to a hotel. But when he transferred me to a...

Inside the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s incredible surrogacy program for otters

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:46:03 GMT

Inside the Monterey Bay Aquarium, a crowd has gathered around the otter exhibit, watching the animals do somersaults in the water and paddle on their backs while clutching toys.“Aren’t they fun?” one woman asks her companion. “Bonk,” a pint-sized spectator says, as one otter bumps heads with another. “Bonk, bonk.”But upstairs, past locked doors and an office marked SORAC — Sea Otter Research and Conservation — a different kind of otter action is happening. Aquarium staffers use nets to wrangle three otters from a tank into plastic kennels, so they can remove mussel shells and other food debris from their enclosure. These are not the crowd-pleasing otters of downstairs. These are wild animals, brought in as pups after stranding or becoming sick. They were raised at the aquarium with minimal human contact and fiercely dodge to avoid the nets.From left, Sea Otter Rehabilitation Specialist Katie Finch, Sea Otter Care Intern Anna Jackson, and Sea Otter Care volunteer Ta...
