Lesley Joseph may be famous for playing larger-than-life Dorien Green in the classic sitcom Birds Of A Feather, but when we chat to the 77-year-old actress, who’s currently on tour in Sister Act: The Musical, she is noticeably more subdued than her TV alter ego. In fact, Lesley is the first to admit that her stint playing Mother Superior is taking its toll. “I am a bit tired to be honest,” she tells Love Sunday over the phone. “Sometimes at the beginning of the week [the tiredness] is worse than at the end because you come back after a day off and your voice takes a while to get going again.” Even so, the star – who has been working in show business for more than 50 years and lives in north London – has the energy of someone half her age and says she’s inherited her mother’s zest for life. “My mother died when she was just under 104 and she was playing tennis in her nineties,” Lesley says. “I sometimes don’t know how I do what I do, but I just think I’ve got her genes, really. … [Read more...] about Lesley Joseph says showbiz keeps her young as she dishes dirt on celebrity friendships

Walking into Node Labs feels more like entering a scene in “The Matrix” than a pot farm. There’s no soil here, just thousands of tiny cannabis plants growing in sealed, sterile plastic jars. But even though Node Labs doesn’t look anything like a pot farm, this small facility in Sonoma County is the engine behind some of California’s best cannabis brands. “We are looking at between 100,000 to 1 million pounds of weed originating from here, which is insane to think about,” Christopher Leavitt, the company’s chief science officer, tells me as he stands in front of an orange shelf lined with 3-inch-tall pot plants. “And that's per year.” Node Labs sells only 5,000 plants a year, according to Leavitt, so how can the company be responsible for so much cannabis? Well, these are no ordinary plants. These are tissue-cultured clones. Each plant can be copied hundreds of times, meaning a few of these plants can propagate an entire pot farm. Plant tissue culturing is a practice with … [Read more...] about This Bay Area startup is preserving the world’s best pot strains

Rey Valera during the mediacon for his movie. Photo from Photo by Alex Brosas If there’s one thing that prolific singer-songwriter Rey Valera is so sorry that he’s written, it is the popular OPM classic, “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo.” Valera said that he had a sinking feeling that the ballad may have to do with many a breakup among lovers at the height of its popularity because of its bleak message. “Kasi, later ko na lang na-realize na ang mga kanta palang ginagawa naming mga songwriter ay may epekto ‘yan sa isip ng ating mga kababayan. Ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit nagkahiwalay ‘yung dalawa, eh, dahil naisabuhay nila ‘yung nasa isip nilang kanta,” Valera explained during the grand mediacon for “Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko: The Music of Rey Valera.” (It’s because, I later realized that the songs that we songwriters do have an effect on the minds of our fellowmen. You were the reason why the two separated, because they brought to life the song they have in mind). He likened it to … [Read more...] about The song that Rey Valera regretted writing

close Video GOP pushes for parental access to schools, lessons, books Fight for Schools Executive Director Ian Prior says schools focus too much on social issues over academics and parents should have more transparency in their children’s education. A Utah parent is calling for the Bible to be removed from a public school for its alleged pornographic content in reaction to the state's ban on sexually explicit books in school libraries. "Get this PORN out of our schools," the parent wrote in a December complaint that was first reported last week by the Salt Lake Tribune . "If the books that have been banned so far are any indication for way lesser offenses, this should be a slam dunk." The request came after Utah passed HB374 last May, which prohibited children's access to obscene books in schools. Referring to the Bible as "one of the most sex-ridden books around," the parent alleged its content violates Utah state code and … [Read more...] about Utah parent calls Bible ‘porn’ in reaction to school’s ban on sexually explicit books
