How a Fodor's jab served as a wake-up call for Lake Tahoe

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:27:24 GMT

Lake Tahoe tourism officials were surprised, and a bit miffed, when a respected international travel guide put the iconic alpine lake straddling the California-Nevada line on its list of places to stay away from this year because of the harmful ecological effects of overtourism.But with an influx of visitors and new full-time residents due to the COVID-19 pandemic already forcing local leaders to revisit the decades-old conversation about overcrowding, “Fodor's No List 2023” may have served as a wake-up call that some sort of change is necessary.“I can’t go to my own beaches anymore,” said Susan Daniels, 70, a lifelong resident of Kings Beach, California, whose parents met at a Tahoe-area ski resort in 1952. That includes her favorite, Sand Harbor, which lies just across the Nevada border and is known for its turquoise water and rock formations. “I cannot go to Sand Harbor, where I grew up, unless I get in line at 7 in the morning.”Since Fodor's declared last November that “Lake Tah...

The Details On Decarbing — What Hemp Fans Should Know About Decarboxylation

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:27:24 GMT

Decarboxylation is a scary-looking word, but it’s a reasonably straightforward process. If you’ve smoked or vaped CBD flowers before, you already have first-hand experience “decarbing” hemp!Basically, decarboxylation is a fancy term for heating cannabis flowers. The reason cannabis extractors and manufacturers use this word has to do with a significant chemical transformation. Interestingly, when we “decarb” weed, we change the atomic structure of significant cannabinoids like CBD. It’s essential for CBD customers to know how decarboxylation works to ensure they’re getting the most use out of their hemp products.What’s The Point Of Using Decarboxylation For CBD Hemp?As we’ve already established, decarboxylation involves using heat to transform the natural cannabinoids in hemp flowers. If you want to get more technical, decarboxylation removes a “carboxyl ring” from raw cannabinoids, which turns them into the standard cannabinoids we’re more familiar with.You may hear some hemp exper...

By JANIE McCAULEY | AP Baseball WriterOAKLAND — J.P. France knew he had been more reliable on the road than in Houston so far this season — and showed it again, even after getting in an early hole.Relying on his nasty change-up, the rookie struck out five while pitching into the eighth inning for the first time to win his third straight decision, Kyle Tucker hit a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth, and the Astros beat the Oakland Athletics 3-1 on Thursday night.The right-hander owns a 2.05 ERA over the first eight road starts of his career, which is lowest in the majors by a starting pitcher with a minimum of 40 innings.“You’ve got to go out there and just take every game as it is. It’s not the same as the one that’s coming up, it’s not the same as the one that just happened,” France said. “I didn’t know that at all. I knew on the road I was pitching a little better, but that’s awesome.”Alex Bregman homered in the ninth to help secure the win for France (5-3). France, a 28-year-o...

Q: I travel on Highway 13, one of the prettiest little stretches of freeway in the Bay Area. It’s going through a lot of changes. What’s going on? It sure looks bare in some areas.Jeanne R.A: Bay Area residents here in 1991 remember the catastrophic firestorm that ravaged the Oakland Hills that October, killing 25 people and consuming 2.5 square miles of mostly residential neighborhoods. With peak wildfire season approaching in August, Caltrans worked with Oakland Fire and local, regional and state fire marshals to develop a program to reduce fire risk.
