Lava La Rue Erupts at Coachella: Singer, songwriter, director and generally talented artist Lava La Rue brought her genre-defying music to an enthusiastic Coachella on Friday, and the Weekly caught up with her backstage shortly afterwards…How do you feel the set went?It was great. It was our first ever time playing an American festival, ever. So yeah, and it was being livestreamed so it was a bit of pressure but only because I knew my grandma would be watching. That’s the scariest part. Not all the influencers in the crowd, but potentially my grandma livetreaming it at home. Although it’s a bit part her bedtime in UK time. So yeah, that’s what was going through my mind. Have you played UK fests?Yeah, those are fun but this is so different. I did my second year of Glastonbury last yeah and this is world’s apart considering I would say Glasto and Coachella are the American/UK equivalents. I think that the overall crowd of Glasto know that they’re not going to look good. You’ve j...

ROCKWOOD, Maine (AP) — A train carrying hazardous materials has derailed and caught fire in Rockwood, Maine, fire officials said. Rockwood Fire & Rescue posted a photo of the derailment Saturday on its Facebook page and advised residents “to stay clear!” It was unclear if there were injuries in the derailment. The department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.Rockwood is in the north-central part of the state in a mostly rural area. It’s near Moosehead Lake, one of the largest bodies of freshwater in the state. The derailment is the latest one to plague the rail industry. Federal regulators and members of Congress are urging railroads to do more to prevent derailments after recent fiery wrecks involving hazardous chemicals in Ohio and Minnesota prompted evacuations.Source

Devils hoping Palat regains Stanley Cup magic for playoffs

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:34:56 GMT

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — When the New Jersey Devils signed Ondrej Palat to a five-year, $30 million contract in the offseason, it was with the hope they would be right where they are now — in the NHL playoffs for the first time in five seasons.Coach Lindy Ruff will have Palat at his disposal when the series against the rival New York Rangers opens Tuesday at the Prudential Center.Sure, former No. 1 overall picks Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier, star defenseman Dougie Hamilton and emerging goaltender Vitek Vanecek are going to have major roles in the best-of-7 battle. But when it comes to the playoffs, Palat — Pally, as he is referred to by teammates — is money. The former Tampa Bay forward played 138 postseason games with the two-time champions, and 48 goals and 46 assists. Those 94 points are 119th overall in NHL playoff history. What’s more remarkable is Palat has had only one 20-plus goal season since his first full one with the Lightning in 2013-14.“I think he puts himself in pos...
