Salad Recipes of The HCG Diet
In case you do not know, the HCG Diet, very famous in various countries, is a plan that proposes the consumption of 500 calories per day, along with drops or injections of the hormone HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Hormone). Several investigations have led to the conclusion that this hormone accelerates metabolism and helps lose weight.
Just as the HCG Diet helps to lose weight to those who perform it, it can also have side effects, therefore, if you are thinking of doing it, we recommend that you first visit your doctor.
What you can do is put into practice the following recipes of the HCG Diet to eat lighter and begin to lose weight. Here are the HCG Diet Phase 3 foods to take during the diet process.
1. Lobster salad recipe

· Celery or steamed fennel bulb slices
· 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
· 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
· A pinch of chopped green onion
· A pinch of tarragon
· Salt and pepper to taste
· Stevia to taste
· Mix the lobster with liquid ingredients and spices and serve with a salad of arugula or green leaves.

More of the same
2011? Okay. Bring it on. I'll take more of the same from 2010 please.
And like our New Year's Day family tradition of homemade soup in a bread bowl, I'll take more of the same in this new year as last year provided.
Except with new stuff too . . . just like this year we made this soup instead of our regular minestrone.
More of the same. With a little something new. I like it.
Addendum: I'd just like to live it well. You know? I just want to be present in each fleeting, wispy, diaphanous moment of this life. Of this year. Of this lightening speed of a freight train called motherhood. Of my everyday moments with my husband. As a steward of this Earth. I just really want to feel it all. And be there.
Happy New Year.

Google Cloud Support Is Now Priced Per Person
Google Cloud Next is looking to serve enterprise customers in ways that better meet their needs with a new set of support plans for its cloud platform. Businesses will now pay per user for support privileges, replacing a tiered system that required businesses to pay a flat fee per month plus a percentage of their monthly product usage. The per-user pricing aims to streamline the support process and reduce costs for business customers.
Our View: IT is typically backlogged with tasks while the business waits to implement key solutions to remain competitive. In this competitive space, cloud solutions offer attractive benefits to business stakeholders, especially around agility and cost. Cloud integration isn't just about the technology – it's a dedication to establish a solid relationship with the cloud vendor. Understanding where the cloud solution is moving and what issues are being addressed is critical to creating an organizational roadmap for the future. For more, see our blueprint, Own the Cloud: Strategy and Action Plan.
GE Attracting Tech Talent
General Electric is excelling at hiring enough tech talent to facilitate digital transformations, a top challenge that most CIOs face. GE continues to attract top tech talent, including executives from Apple, Google, and Microsoft, with promises of conducting a massive digital transformation, the chance to crack game-changing challenges, and appealing compensation packages. GE has insourced its talent acquisition and has several recruiters with software domain expertise.
Our View: Many organizations struggle with hiring quality candidates. Use our research to Design a Pre-Hire Test to Select the Best, and instead of using the variety of personality assessments on the market, focus on competency-based testing.
Verizon Cuts $350M Off Deal to Acquire Yahoo
Verizon Communications cut $350 million from its plan to acquire a majority of Yahoo's web assets after Yahoo disclosed that it suffered two massive breaches of customer data in 2013 and 2014. Cybersecurity risk assessments are a critical part of the due diligence of any merger and acquisition activity – even for companies not in the technology industry. Cyber risks can weaken the value of a deal and delay a proper return on investment.
Our View: Use our risk assessment methodology, Develop and Conduct Threat and Risk Assessments, to quantifiably evaluate the threat severity for any new or existing project. Connect your threat and risk assessment results to your wider risk management program. Doing this can inform your organization of the macro level of risk that it faces.
The Lift: March Madness
March Madness continues to live up to its name. The first weekend of the NCAA Tournament came with plenty of upsets that wrecked many brackets. Duke and Villanova, two teams that many experts projected could win it all, were both eliminated in the round of 32. That creates an opportunity for a team to make a surprise run at the Final Four.

Section 6, Chapter 8
We are released by Christ from the law and from the guilt of sin, though the inclination to it still tempts us.
7:1. Know you not, brethren (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath dominion over a man as long as it liveth?
As long as it liveth;. . .or, as long as he liveth.
7:2. For the woman that hath an husband, whilst her husband liveth is bound to the law. But if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
7:3. Therefore, whilst her husband liveth, she shall be called an adulteress, if she be with another man: but if her husband be dead, she is delivered from the law of her husband: so that she is not an adulteress, if she be with another man.
7:4. Therefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law, by the body of Christ: that you may belong to another, who is risen again from the dead that we may bring forth fruit to God.
7:5. For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.
7:6. But now we are loosed from the law of death wherein we were detained; so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7:7. What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? God forbid! But I do not know sin, but by the law. For I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet.
7:8. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Sin taking occasion. . .Sin, or concupiscence, which is called sin, because it is from sin, and leads to sin, which was asleep before, was weakened by the prohibition: the law not being the cause thereof, nor properly giving occasion to it: but occasion being taken by our corrupt nature to resist the commandment laid upon us.
7:9. And I lived some time without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived,
7:10. And I died. And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me.
7:11. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me: and by it killed me.
7:12. Wherefore the law indeed is holy: and the commandment holy and just and good.
7:13. Was that then which is good made death unto me? God forbid! But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me: that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure.
That it may appear sin, or that sin may appear, viz. . .To be the monster it is, which is even capable to take occasion from that which is good, to work death.
7:14. For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am carnal, sold under sin.
7:15. For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will: but the evil which I hate, that I do.
I do not that good which I will, etc. . .The apostle here describes the disorderly motions of passion and concupiscence; which oftentimes in us get the start of reason: and by means of which even good men suffer in the inferior appetite what their will abhors: and are much hindered in the accomplishment of the desires of their spirit and mind. But these evil motions, (though they are called the law of sin, because they come from original sin, and violently tempt and incline to sin,) as long as the will does not consent to them, are not sins, because they are not voluntary.
7:16. If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.
7:17. Now then it is no more I that do it: but sin that dwelleth in me.
7:18. For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will is present with me: but to accomplish that which is good, I find not.
7:19. For the good which I will, I do not: but the evil which I will not, that I do.
7:20. Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it: but sin that dwelleth in me.
7:21. I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me.
7:22. For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man:
7:23. But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind and captivating me in the law of sin that is in my members.
7:24. Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
7:25. The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself, with the mind serve the law of God: but with the flesh, the law of sin.

A couple of years ago, the retro channel featured "Ships of fools", a very intense movie from 1965. This is from the review:
Out of Katherine Anne Porter's voluminous novel, Ship of Fools, which was a big prizewinning best-seller in 1962, the producer and director Stanley Kramer has fetched a powerful, ironic film. It goes by the same name, and it opened yesterday at the Sutton and the Victoria.Let me share a couple of observations.
Call it a Grand Hotel-type picture if you must have a quick descriptive tag for this multifaceted drama of an assortment of characters traveling in a German passenger vessel from Veracruz, Mexico, to Bremerhaven, Germany, in 1933.
For it has the same interwoven pattern as that memorable star-crowded film, and it entertains in much the same manner with its cross-play of transient characters.
Likewise, it offers a full roster of older and younger stars in its fascinating medley of sharp and colorful roles.
It has Vivien Leigh as a declining American divorcée, José Ferrer as a brazen Jew-baiting German businessman, Lee Marvin as a Texas baseball player, George Segal and Elizabeth Ashley as a pair of American artists and lovers, Simone Signoret as a fading Spanish countess, José Greco as the head of a troupe of ferocious Spanish dancers, plus others in lesser roles.
And it has the same sort of casual ending as the archetypal Grand Hotel.
First, it is a very long movie, i.e. 149 minutes! Get ready for a long movie. This is not your typical 90-100 minute movie.
Second, you need to be familiar with what happening in Europe or the world in 1933. Otherwise, you may miss some of the political comments or not appreciate the context of the story.
Overall, a very good movie:

The Best Ways To Get Hired Online
If you're looking for a job, chances are that you're hitting the Internet instead of searching through newspapers or industry publications. With the majority of jobs being advertised online, making sure you're applying correctly is more important than ever. Here are some of the best ways to get hired online:
E-mail Subscriptions
Make sure you're subscribed to as many job sites as you can, entering in as many details as possible. If there are a couple of sectors you're interested in, make sure you tick them all, instead of just looking at one. Widen your range from the main recruitment websites to industry specific bulletins and sites – these more precise sites may come up with jobs that aren't being advertised as widely.
If there are companies you're interested in working for, sign up to their newsletters or bookmark their careers page. It's worth checking regularly and e-mailing for information on how to be alerted. If you don't ask, you don't get!
Aptitude Tests
Whether you're unsure about which job industry you want to go into, or you're considering switching to a different sector, try taking online aptitude tests. While these aren't set in stone and won't tell you what career path to follow, they can be a good way to put your skills to the test and find out what your strongest qualities are.
Some job applications will involve taking online tests, so find practices and make sure you won't be taking one without doing the necessary research and preparation. There's no excuse to do badly at them when they are so easy to find and practice!
Social Media Sites
Social media sites will be your best friend while looking for jobs online! Platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter are great places to source vacancies, as well as being able to network, and speak to people in the industry you'd like to enter.
Remember to keep your LinkedIn profile updated, and see if you can find people to endorse you and write recommendations. The more referrals you get, the closer you'll be to landing your dream job! Make sure all of your social media profiles are professional – Twitter can be a great tool, but it can also be your biggest downfall if you're portraying the wrong image! Think of it as an extension of your CV: an insight into your life for a potential employer.
Online Portfolios
Having an online portfolio can work wonders for you. Anything from a personal blog, to a website focused around your skills, to an online gallery will be an easy way for employers to check how good you really are – not just what is (or isn't!) on your CV. Being able to show a potential employer that you have a vested interest in their industry, you can write about a variety of topics, or you can display the work you've already done, will add proof to everything you've said in your application.
Keywords And Job Descriptions
Many online job applications use trackers to pick up on keywords. Instead of your application being read by a real person, it might be scanned by a computer to find important words. In order to trump these trackers, do your research, read the job description thoroughly, and ensure that you're using enough, in the right context. Be careful that you don't just stuff your application with useless and irrelevant words though – you need to make sense at the same time!
Make It Easy
Don't be the applicant that sends an employer a 20-page document attached to an e-mail! While you might think you're showing off all of your skills, you're more likely to put an employer off. They've most likely got near to 100 applications to get through, on top of yours, so keep it brief. If an application has guidelines, stick to them. Similarly, keep it clear. Don't use ten words when five will do!
Stand Out
Add something different: you need to stand out. Applying for a job online means you don't have the advantage of being a 'face to a name,' so think of ways to make yourself stand out.

Step Away From That Toy Analogy!
Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 07:31AM
As you know, we're all about speaking memorably. But we make an exception when you're saying something stupid.
Mitt Romney advisor Eric Fehrnstrom spoke way too memorably when CNN asked if Romney's rightward tilt will hurt him in the general election.
I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all over again.
analogy (an-AL-oh-gee), the template. From the Greek, meaning "proportional thought." (More analogizing on our sister site.)
We love an analogy for its ability to attach thoughts to physical objects. The physicality makes an abstraction seem literal. A candidate's move to the center becomes a fun toy. The problem here is that Romney's planned and completely unsurprising future move to the center is the last thing the campaign wants to talk about right now. First, it has to win over a whole buncha ultraconservative primary voters.
And now Rick Santorum's people are gleefully handing out little Etch-a-Sketches. "Great toy," Newt Gingrich tweeted. "Losing strategy." And Mr. Gingrich knows from losing strategies.
If a shaken Mr. Fehrnstrom needs a job, he should send his resume to the Ohio Art Company, the Etch-a-Sketch makers. Surely they'd give him a clean slate.

A doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) is a physician licensed to practice medicine, perform surgery, and prescribe medication.
Alternative names
Osteopathic physician
Like all allopathic physicians (or M.D.s), osteopathic physicians complete 4 years of medical school and can choose to practice in any speciality of medicine. However, osteopathic physicians receive an additional 300 – 500 hours in the study of hands-on manual medicine and the body's musculoskeletal system.
Osteopathic physicians hold to the priciple that a patient's history of illness and physical trauma are written into the body's structure. The osteopathic physician's highly developed sense of touch allows the physician to feel (palpitate) the patient's "living anatomy" (the flow of fluids, motion and texture of tissues, and structural makeup).
Like M.D.s, osteopathic physicians are licensed at the state level. Osteopathic physicians who wish to specialize may become "board certified" (in much the same manner as M.D.s) by completing a 2- to 6-year residency within the specilaty area and passing the board certification exams.
D.O.s practice in all specialties of medicine, ranging from emergency medicine and cardiovascular surgery to psychiatry and geriatrics. A majority of osteopathic doctors use many of the medical and surgical treatments that are used by other medical doctors.

There might not be as much action in this issue as the first, but what we have is pretty damn amazing. We're also introduced to Rachel who is the very definition of strong female character. Really she's just a strong character, but because female characters play the "damsel" in comics so often her gender becomes notable. I have met women with Rachel's strong personality and never once did I need to make a note of how strong they were, but that's comics for you. Do something wrong for long enough and it becomes extraordinary when someone captures real personality traits in their story. At any rate, we start with Rachel who is waiting for her husband to arrive. Her husband is dead by the way having bled out in the desert between the first issue and the second. Rachel's at a shitty diner in the middle of nowhere when she comes out of the bathroom to find two thugs waiting for her at her table. One of the thugs' names is Mellon and he tells Rachel that they can do it the smart way or the dumb way. There's some great dialogue here as Mellon threatens Rachel and we see her turn off her tears from her assumed dead husband in order to stay alive.
She makes a move for the bathroom after inflicting some physical damage on the thugs and this kicks off the action for the issue. Will Gage arrive in time to help or will Rachel just handle business on her own?
I liked this issue. It didn't grab me as quickly as the first issue did, but after reading it and thinking about it I continued to find more and more things that I liked. I liked Rachel. I don't get the impression that Rachel wants help from anyone and is willing to take on the world by herself to the bitter end. She doesn't do a lot this issue, but Justin Jordan keeps her believable the entire time. You know in action or cop dramas when the character leaves the safe house and fucks up the plan… that's not Rachel.
Jordan delivers with this issue. I really enjoy his dialogue because it feels at home in the action genre, but it's different than all the other shit you've read or watched in the movies. His bad guys are evil, but they're also human. You're scared of them because they have a gun and can aim and have pulled that trigger many times before, not because they're some inhuman monster that can't be stopped. Jordan includes fun transitions as well. In the beginning we see Gage for just a page before he says, "Fuck" and then we transition to Rachel, whose very first line of dialogue is also "Fuck." It's moments like this that make the story fun, entertaining and very cinematic. Also the cliffhanger for this issue was good. It's that perfect "what the hell?" moment that brings you back for the next issue for sure.
This story fits Matteo Scalera's style. He brings the world to life and makes the action incredibly realistic. If you loved his car chases in the first issue you'll love his gun play in the second issue. It's not as over the top violent in this issue, but there's still some great violence to be had. Usually I'm a fan of detailed backgrounds, but Scalera and colorist Moreno Dinisio take the solid colored backgrounds and somehow amplify the scene with their use. It's as if a painting knife is used at times giving it an artistic look for something as simple as Rachel sitting at a table. All of the art looks as if it's had extra ink dribbled on top of the page which keeps it looking rough and dirty just like the story. The art and story are truly balanced in this series and it makes for a great read because of it.
I did worry about this issue because a great start usually means that there's only one place left to go, down. Sure this issue didn't impact as much as the first issue, but I knew the lay of the land. The differences are slight though making it very difficult to score. In the end I had to decide if it was entertaining, did it move the story along or just get side tracked by the action? Well it entertained the shit out of me and definitely moved the story along so I would say that it was a great success. If you missed the first issue then pick up both issue because it's another Justin Jordan hit.

text: My baby is 18 days old. She still isn't anywhere near her birthweight. She was born on 12/31 at 6lbs 12oz, and she was weighed today at 6lbs 1oz. My milk took 5 days to come in, because I had a c-section. I breastfeed on demand, which is anywhere near every 30mins-3hrs. When I pump, I get about an ounce total, give or take a few mL. We've been seeing an LC, and she told me to supplement her with 3-4oz 6 times a day, but then she will miss 6 feedings at the breast which won't help my supply any. I'm worried that this will cause me to switch to formula completely. I've been pumping whenever I can, but it's hard when I have a newborn nursing almost constantly. I need some advice.

We at APA! have been working around the clock at rescuing, fostering, and getting our kitties healthy & happy. Now, they are ready for their very own HOMES!

Two Surprise Stars Returning for JUSTICE LEAGUE Film
The 2017 Justice League film has two more characters reprising their roles: Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, and Connie Nielson as Queen Hippolyta. The news was listed in a new press kit sent out by Warner Bros. on Thursday, along with a new synopsis for the film.
"Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat," reads Warner Bros.'s description. "But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions."
Eisenberg was last seen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in prison with his head shaved.
Nielson will debut as Hippolyta in Wonder Woman, which comes out on June 2, 2017.
Justice League is scheduled to be released in North American theaters on November 17, 2017.

The first time I read Gene Wolfe's The Shadow of the Torturer, it was for a college class on fantasy and science fiction literature taught by another author whose books and teaching method I hated in equal measure. As much as I disliked him, and the class he taught, he actually introduced me to one of my favorite authors. I spent the majority of my time in college avoiding any real work or learning, as I mostly took courses where I was at least familiar with the material. Wolfe made me feel stupid. I tried harder after that class.
Much before I went to college, I supported a brief infatuation with visual arts, spurred by my discovery of Yoshitaka Amano -- an artist who provides images for video games and anime yet quite highly esteemed by critics and fans. Neil Gaiman likes him. Neil Gaiman also likes Gene Wolfe. Yoshitaka Amano mostly draws nancy-boys and fairies and the sort of stuff that makes guys like Christian Nutt squeal in delight. Gene Wolfe writes brainy science fiction with almost transparently Catholic themes that offended a good portion of the class for which I was required to read The Shadow of the Torturer. Put em' together and tell me that you didn't just imagine something along the lines of David Bowie rocking out in Papal vestments and Star Trek make-up to a synth-rock doxology of his own writing.
It isn't that I now dislike Amano or his artwork. It's just that seeing something that I liked far more as a thirteen year old mixing with something I came to as an older, hopefully (though not likely) somewhat wiser person fills me with a certain inexpressible dread.
I'm even more terrified by how much I like the combination.
Severian looks like he came out of Final Fantasy back when Final Fantasy didn't embarrass me so much. Writing about current Final Fantasy can make you feel like you need to assert your masculinity.
Writing about Wolfe will make you feel like you need to proof-read.

The Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) organisation was established in 1989 when the 12 founders met in Canberra, Australia. These were later joined by 9 others.
APEC is a forum for 21 Pacific Rim member s to promote free trade throughout the Asia-Pacific region. APEC's declared goal is to support sustainable economic growth and prosperity in the region by building a dynamic and harmonious community, championing free trade and investment, promoting regional economic integration, encouraging co-operation, enhancing security and facilitating a sustainable business environment.
Since APEC's inception, its growth in global trade has significantly outpaced the rest of the world.
An annual APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting is attended by the heads of government of all APEC members except Taiwan (represented by a ministerial-level official under the name Chinese Taipei). The location of the meeting rotates annually among member economies.

The first APEC Meeting was held in 1993 when the USA and Australia invited heads of government from member economies to a summit on Blake Island. The APEC Secretariat, based in Singapore, was established to coordinate activities of the organization.
In 1995 APEC established a business advisory body named the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) composed of 3 executives from each member economy. In 2001, in collaboration with Eurostat, IEA, OLADE, OPEC and the UNSD, it launched the Joint Oil Data Exercise, which became the Joint Organisations Data Initiative (JODI).

Some people define rural as having a big backyard.
Some people define rural as living in the suburbs.
Some people define rural as living outside the range of the city water supply.
Those people don't live in Montana.
In Montana, rural means that the distance to your nearest neighbor is measured in miles. It means that the number of students in your child's grade in school is a single digit. It means that you look out your back window and see this:
In Montana, rural means that you don't get cell service, DSL, daily mail service, or pizza delivery.
When you live in rural Montana, you learn to have a well-stocked pantry, and you learn to cook. My family doesn't care for frozen pizza, so when the craving strikes, I head to my KitchenAid mixer and start some dough. Here's my trusty recipe:
2 1/4 tsp. yeast
1/2 tsp. brown sugar
1 1/2 cups hot water
1 tsp. salt
2 T olive oil
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
Here's what I do:
Mix the yeast, brown sugar, and water. The water should be just a touch hotter than what you would shower in. Let that foam for a few minutes. Then toss in the salt, olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Add 2 cups of the flour and mix for about 2 minutes. Then gradually add the rest of the flour. Take the dough out of the bowl, spray the bowl with Pam, and replace the dough. Spray the top of the dough with Pam and cover with a dish towel. Let rise in a warm place for an hour.
While that's rising, make your sauce. Here's my trusty recipe:
6 oz. tomato paste
6 oz. warm water
3 T Parmesan
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 T honey
3/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. each:
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes
Mix all those ingredients and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
When the dough is doubled in size, call in the subordinates. It's time to put them to work.
This recipe makes one giant, thick pizza crust. If you prefer your pizza with a thin crust, use this recipe to make two pizzas. I like my pizza with a substantial crust, so I use the recipe for one crust.
Punch down the dough and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Spray a pizza stone or pan with Pam, and then plunk the dough down in the middle.
Let the subordinate do the heavy work. You don't want to break a nail.
Once it is rolled out on the stone, use your fingers to make a ridge around the edges. Then get another subordinate to apply an ample coating of sauce.
Because I was feeling lazy on this particular night, I cheated. Don't tell. Use the recipe for the sauce above; it's much better than this stuff.
Once the sauce is professionally distributed, employ another subordinate to be the hand model for the photo shoot.
Now you need to choose your toppings. I haven't been to the grocery store in a couple of weeks, so my options are pretty limited. We're going to go with pre-shredded cheese, pepperoni, and mushrooms (just to gross out my sister). I'm not a big fan of the grease in the pepperoni, so I put several paper towels on a plate, place the pepperoni on top, and cover with another paper towel. Then I microwave it for a minute or so.
That's just gross.
See what I have saved my family from ingesting?
Meanwhile, the subordinates are laying on the cheese.
I like a mixture of Parmesan, Provolone, Romano, Cheddar, and Mozzarella.
Then the subordinates put on the additional toppings. This picture is for my sister. Mmmmmm, mushrooms. We use the canned variety because we're rural. We don't just pop over to the grocery store for some fresh mushrooms. If we were going to drive that far, we'd just go to Pizza Hut and forget this whole production.
Put the pizza in the center rack of the oven for 20-30 minutes, depending on how heavy-handed the subordinates were with the cheese.
It should look something like this. Remember that it's more important for the subordinates to help in the experience than it is for the end product to be beautiful. Try not to notice the sauce that sloshed over onto the edge or the wayward cheese that ended up halfway off the crust. Just relish the bonding experience with the children.
Besides, it tastes pretty good. It doesn't have to be pretty. Or fat free.

Ugh. Now I have to go to sleep with visions of fungi (canned fungi, no less - *shudder*) dancing in my head. I'd rather eat the pepperoni grease! Lovely models you have there, though.
Also, love your sense of sarcasm. Hope the readers have learned to detect that ... it's a fine art, you know. ;-)

That looks so yummy!
My kids prefer the homemade pizza as well. We usually do a white pizza though as I am too lazy to make a red sauce. LOL
Thanks for what looks to be a great dough recipe too!
BTW I would LOVE to have that view from my window. NJ is so ugly!

Jessica Sorensen - Unraveling You #1 - Unraveling You
Unraveling You (Unraveling You #1)
Jessica Sorensen
new adult/romance/young adult
Chapter 1
16 years old…
The couple that lives next door adopts children like puppies. No joke. The Gregorys are bringing home kid number four today. The adoption process has happened so frequently over the years for them that it's become a routine. They drive off in the early morning, cruising away in their sedan, and then late in the afternoon they return with a small human being sitting in the backseat, looking about as scared as a little puppy getting yelled at.
While I do feel sorry for the little boy or girl, the sympathy quickly wears off. Because within a couple of months, the small human in the backseat will get over their fear and turn into their own person, who more than likely will take it upon themselves to annoy the crap out of me.
I'd be fine with this. After all, they are my next-door neighbors' kids, not my little brothers or sisters. But that's the thing. They are kind of like the little brother or sister I never had, since the couple next door are my parents' best friends and close to a second set of parents to me. I even call them Aunt Lila and Uncle Ethan.
"I wonder what this one will look like," I remark as I munch on my toast at the kitchen table. It's late morning, but we're late risers, so we're just starting breakfast, even though it's past ten. "And if it'll be a boy or a girl."
"Lila said he was a boy," my mother answers as she collects her mug and takes a seat across from me. "I think he's about your age, too."
"All their adopted kids are older. Aren't people supposed to adopt younger children?" I ask, reaching for the butter. "Like when they're babies?"
She sips the coffee then places the mug on the table. "Lyric, there are a ton of kids out there that need homes, both young and your age. Even older. You should realize just how lucky you are to have a roof over your head and parents who spoil the crap out of you. Some children don't have it so lucky."
My mother is probably one of the strangest moms ever, but in the best way possible. She uses phrases like, "spoil the crap out of you," and dresses cooler than I do half the time. Plus, she has fantastic taste in music.
"I know how lucky I am," I tell her. "So lucky in fact, that I know you're going to let me paint my room purple and black."
"Let me guess. Purple walls and black skulls."
"Hey, how'd you guess?"
"Because it's exactly how my room looked when I was your age. You're so much like me it's frightening sometimes."
"Well, there goes my theory that I was secretly adopted."
I don't really have that theory. I resemble my parents too much to ever believe I was adopted. I have my mother's striking green eyes, so bright they sometimes startle people at first glance. And I have the same shade of blonde hair my dad does. They're both tall, too, and passed that trait to me. At sixteen, I round in at five foot nine and tower over all of my friends at school. I inherited some of their talents as well, that is, if talents can be inherited.
Like my mother, I have the hand of an artist, although she is way better than I am. She owns her own art gallery and has sold a lot of her paintings. Her work is usually described as raw, emotional, and realistic.
Then there's my dad's talent of music. My father is a musician who used to perform in a band, and then later on as a solo artist. Now, he's mostly retired and owns his own studio. I'm not sure if it was all the time I spent hanging out with him, or the fact that my parents named me Lyric, but music is branded into my bones. I love anything and everything that has to do with it. My favorite instrument is the guitar, granted the violin is a close second. Creating lyrics, though, that's truly my favorite thing to do musically.
"It seems like such a nice day to go out for a drive," my mother comments, bringing me out of my thoughts and back to reality. "Maybe when Lila gets home, the three of us and the new boy can go for a drive. It'll give you some time to get to know him."
I stuff the rest of my toast into my mouth. "What if he's weird, though, like Kale?"
Kale is the latest addition to the Gregory family. He was twelve when they brought him home two years ago, and he still hasn't given up his obsession with comic books. And I mean obsession. He frequently dresses up like characters, his favorite being Flash. He also once wore a cape to school, which made him the subject of a lot of bullying.
Then there are the other two kiddos, Fiona and Everson. At twelve, Fiona is the youngest and probably the chattiest. She loves to draw and has a deep fascination with butterflies. Everson is smack dab between Fiona and Kale at thirteen years old. He's quiet, loves sports, especially football, and is probably the most normal of the bunch. They all have their weird little quirks, though, and shady pasts that I never really get to fully hear.
It's not like I have anything against weirdoes and shady pasts—heck, I can be a weirdo and sketchy sometimes—but as the sorta bigger sister, I constantly have to stick up for them, and sometimes it gets tiring.
"Lyric, just because Kale's different doesn't mean he's weird." My mom reaches for the coffee pot. "Need I remind you of your little obsession with that boy band when you were his age."
"You promised you'd never bring that up. You even pinkie swore that you wouldn't."
Her lips curl as she fills her cup to the brim with steaming hot coffee. "Then don't give me reasons to break my promise."
"Fine, I'll stop calling Kale a weirdo on one condition." I swallow a gulp of milk then wipe my lips with the back of my hand. "If you let me go to the concert on Friday with Dad."
Her cheeriness diminishes. "Did he tell you that you could go with him?"
I shrug. "He didn't not tell me I couldn't."
She shakes her head, restraining a grin. "You are way too good of a bargainer for your own good."
I perk up. "So does that mean I can go?"
"Hmm … That all depends on if you'll go on a drive with me later and warmly welcome the new Gregory." She raises her glass to her mouth, but only to hide a smirk.
"Touché, Mother. I see where I get my bargaining skills from."
I consider her offer. Going on a drive with my mother may not seem like the most fun thing in the world, but it kind of is. Her and my dad used to drag race, and they still have some of their badass cars we take out when we go for trips. Both of them drive fast, although I think they play it safe when I'm in the car. It's still fun, though.
What makes me hesitate on the offer is the getting to know the new Gregory part. Like puppies, I never know what the new addition's personality is going to be. He could be nice, or he could be a little weirdo who bites. The youngest, Fiona, actually bit me the first day they brought her home.
But I want to go to the concert badly enough that the pros outweigh the cons.
I chug the rest of my milk then agree. "Fine, I'll go with you as long as you let me go with Dad."

The Unshored - The Unshored
Everyone has been patiently waiting for more vocals in the style of Ved Buens Ende's Written in Waters, right? Well, whether that's true or not, the extremely distinctive vocal style here isn't something you hear every day. But, The Unshored really pulls it off on this debut self-titled album. For those that aren't put off by the unusually layered baritone moans and their sometimes off-kilter delivery, this is an interesting but flawed work. While the album sounds much too wide to be an obvious solo project, it actually is. Aside from assistance on the drum and bass composition the entire work is straight from the mind of Mike LaRocco. Using genre tags like black, death, and progressive, the music also has some clear doom/sludge influences; which is a broad enough set of influences to give the project the nebulous extreme metal moniker.
In fairness, the album uses a variety of vocal styles, death growls to black metal raps, but the weirder ones are absolutely the most effective at adding color to the music. The sad part is that Mike LaRocco underutilizes the bizarre harmonized cleans, although the first and final track use them to great effect. However, the middle of the album sags like an old horse's back. The doom/sludge influences often cause the album's pacing to stall out in overly simplistic repetition. When this composition device first shows up at the end of "Unheimlich," it works pretty well. But by the time you get through a similar (and long) passage in "Nocturnal Psychosis," you can see the project's weak point. Progressive tendencies elsewhere in the music only make these rather dull sections more glaring. Discontinuities between the uptempo "No Vacancy" and the songs before and after it also suggest that the project is still developing a direction.
Given that this is a debut release, and a full-length at that, it's easy to speculate and play the role of editor. This would have been a really solid and promising demo, or EP for that matter. The first and last tracks are really damn good and make up more than 20 minutes of material! The Unshored's eclecticism isn't the problem, the project just needs further refining. In particular, the weaker tracks have less intriguing structures when compared to the pieces like "Unheimlich" and "The Spinning Sphere." Of course more weird vocals would be great, but aren't the kind of thing that everyone will appreciate. Definitely worth a shot if you have a Written in Waters itch that Virus is too rockin' to scratch or if you have a taste for unusual vocal styles.

traced a tenant for rent arrears - what can I do?
Got a tenant evicted under S8, they changed the locks and eventually flitted after six months. I employed a debt collection agency who have traced them to their new address and made a face to face visit. The agency are still going to pursue them but the tenant has told them that she is now on income support and was not forthcoming as to where her husband was. As they have given me her new address (obvioulsy rented again) and that she has run up debts and creditors at my property is there anything I can do? Can I find out if she is truly on income support (the debt collection agency thought she was lying), Should I inform her new landlord if I can (and how would I find out where they are) of her history as she is more than likely to do it again, and thirdly should I inform / redirect her mail / give new address to creditors? Or should I just post back mail saying address unknown as I want to get some money back first? Should I try and take them back to court and if so what can I do? How do I get the attachment of earnings form that the solicitor said I could do?
I want to do as much as I can as soon as I can, I just need to know what is the best way to go about it.
Many thanks

"One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong."
Polish naturalists may as well have started singing the popular children's song this winter as they observed something amazing that they'd never seen before. Wild bison often roam at the edge of the Bialowieza Forest, but when biologists began observing one herd through their binoculars, they realized a much more familiar creature had joined the gang.
Ornithologist Adam Zbyryt first spotted a chestnut brown Limousin cow, a breed popular in Poland. He and other observers assumed she would wander back to her pasture naturally.
You know what they say about assumptions, though, because this heifer has "chosen freedom" and decided to stay with the bison, even at the outskirts of the group. She isn't fully integrated into the herd, well, because she's a cow.
She likely joined her new friends after they saved her from some wolves at the edge of the forest, and now she's determined not to go back to her simple farm life. Unfortunately, she's going to have to go very soon.
Recapturing the cow is necessary because breeding with the bison could be dangerous for her. "Another danger is that hybrid calves are large, and the cow could die giving birth," a biologist told TVN24.
Also, because there are only 600 in the population of wild bison in Poland, contaminating the group with a hybrid could hurt the population's growth. Still, this free spirit got to live her best life this winter.

Lordy Lou. Hold the damn boat. Holy Moly. Sweet Lord Baby Jesus. Insert other absurd Chef Kefi, RN exclamation here. Ready for a recipe that comes from one of the world's most revered vegetarian kitchens and requires NO culinary skill whatsoever? Read on, young grasshopper.
|So many amazing pictures of this recipe all over the internet that I just couldn't choose! My rendition is the bottom right photo.
The background: A few weeks ago, JetSet Kef implied that I would never reach full yiayia status until I pick up a copy of of Plenty, the vegetarian cookbook written by Yotam Ottolenghi, and master several recipes. I was, of course, indignant–sure, this guy has 4 incredibly-successful London restaurants and grew up growing his own garden in Mediterranean soil…but I am Chef Kefi, RN for chrissakes. Hmph.
And then I saw the cover photo. Halved eggplant roasted and smothered in some delicious creamy sauce (which, you already know, we love in Keftown), then topped with POMEGRANATE seeds? Uncle Frank…Is this a joke?! Where the eff has this book been all my life?
I became bewitched, body and soul, by this recipe. Within minutes of the cookbook's arrival I was at Whole Foods, where I have been scoffing at the out-of-season $6 pomegranates all winter–ONLY TO FIND THEY WERE OUT OF POMEGRANATES IN MY MOMENT OF NEED. Undeterred, I went to three more grocery stores, after which it became evident that the entire food industry conspiring against me and my dream of making this recipe. I called an audible on the whole thing and switched the pom seeds for a balsamic-pomagranate reduction, and this was still one of my favorite things to come out of my kitchen. All's well that ends well, I suppose–but I won't pass up one of those $6 out-of-season gifts from the Gods again.
This is hide-your-kids-hide-your-wife good. If Oprah invited me on her show right now, I would jump all over that damn couch proclaiming my love for this. I keep trying to wrap up this post but can't find the right punctuation for my new beloved–so just go find some pomegranates and get to it!
Roasted Eggplant with Yogurt Buttermilk Sauce
- 2 eggplants, large and long
- 1/3 c olive oil
- 1 bunch of fresh thyme (the minipack is enough for the whole recipe)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Greek season, za'atar, or other spice sachet you like, to taste
- 1 pomegrante
- 1 1/2 c balsamic vinegar
- 8 oz pom juice
- 5 sprigs thyme
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 9 TBS buttermilk
- 1/2 c Greek Yogurt (FIBBYDY)
- 1 1/2 TBS olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- pinch of salt
1. Preheat oven to 400F. Cut eggplants in half lengthwise, even cutting through the green stem (which you won't eat–it's just there to look nice). Use a small sharp knife and cut three-four parallel lines across the width of the eggplant, careful not to go through the skin. Repeat 45 degree angle with 3-4 more cuts, making a diamond-shaped pattern (think of it as 4 tally marks and then parallel diagonal lines like you use to show 5 in when keeping tally).
2. Put the eggplant skin-side-down (flesh up) on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Distribute the entire 1/3 c olive oil between the 4 pieces by brushing it on until the entire amount has been absorbed (which will not take much time, as eggplant is about the most liquid-greedy vegetable out there). Sprinkle with thyme leaves (I put about 2 tsp of fresh thyme on each) and Greek seasoning or za'tar. Roast for 35-40 minutes, until flesh is soft and a nice-looking brown. A knife should very easily move through the roasted flesh. Remove from oven and let cool.
3. While roasting eggplant, whisk together all the sauce ingredients. Taste and add more season for flavor if you feel so inclined. Keep cold until serving.
4. Prepare your pomegranate seeds or balsamic reduction. To learn how to separate seeds, watch this video. To make balsamic reduction, combine balsamic vinegar, pom juice, leaves from 5 thyme sprigs, and garlic cloves in a medium pot. Bring to boil, then simmer for 12-15 minutes, until liquid has reduced by about 1/3. This will make way more than you need–keep the rest in fridge and put it on everything or use as a salad dressing.
5. To serve, put lots and lots and lots of buttermilk over the eggplant. Season with more Greek seasoning or za'tar and generous amounts of seeds or reduction. Spread the love for this recipe far and wide!

How to Setup Jetpack's Site Stats
The next step in the guide to the WordPress Plugin for Jetpack will guide you through the process of reading, understanding and logging your site stats, which is essential if you want to know who is coming to your site, where from, when, and how many times a week, month, year or all time!
Step 1) Login to the WordPress Dashboard.
Step 2) On the Dashboard, scroll down to Jetpack and then choose Site Stats from the dropdown provided. You will see a large graph that contains you stats from the time that you installed the plugin, to the present day. You can toggle the search to show stats in Days, Weeks and Months, as shown below.
Step 3) The Referrers section tells you where your visitors are coming from, i.e. search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing), email, blogs and websites, and social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) They will also show how many hits these referrers attributed to over the course of Today or Yesterday. You can also click 'Summaries' to get a view of Referrers over 7 days, 30 days and all time.
Step 4) The Top Posts and Pages details which posts and pages on your site are generating the most traffic on any given day. Click 'Summaries' to see which ones are getting the most hits over 7 days, 30 days and all time.
Step 5) Search Engine Terms are important because this summary shows which terms used in the likes of Google, Bing, et al are bringing your website its search engine traffic. The keywords that generate the most traffic often mean that your website is ranking well for those terms, so it is important to monitor this over time.
Step 6) The Clicks section of stats show which outbound links are being clicked on by your visitors. This is useful if you have links to affiliated websites.
Step 7) The number of Subscriptions to your blog and comments can be monitored here, and it is useful to monitor it to see who your followers are and which ones are staying subscribed over a long period of time.
Step 8) You can configure the Settings for your WordPress Site Stats by heading to Jetpack >> Settings from the Dashboard, and then choosing Stats from the list of features, as show below.
Step 9) When the new window opens, you can click on Configure at the bottom of the screen.
Step 10) The Admin Bar is a small bar that shows the last 48 hours of stats in your main admin bar. This means you can check your stats and monitor them at any time, no matter what you're doing on your site.
Step 11) You can choose to include or leave out the stats from anyone who uses your website. It is best to not include hits from Admin and other authors of your site, so you get an accurate reading of site visitors who are coming to your website who are not affiliated with you.
Step 12) The Smiley is a little Jetpack/WordPress quirk, and makes no difference whether or not you want to include it!
Step 13) You can pick and choose who you want to view your stats reports, but they should only really be for Managers and site admins, unless you really want to include contributors and authors to that list.
The next step of the guide will focus on How to Use Jetpack's Omnisearch.

The symptoms include a widespread pain that occurs in the muscles, joints and tendons, a
fatigue that can be debilitating in nature, sleep disturbances, the presence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),
facial pain or headaches, and heightened sensitivity to certain things like odors, light, and sounds.
Are you at risk for developing the condition known as fibromyalgia? You might be if you are female, are young or
middle aged and experience sleep disturbances.
You may also be at risk if you have a family history of those suffering from fibromyalgia. If you already suffer
from a rheumatic disease such as ankylosing spondylitis, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis you may have a higher than
average chance for contracting the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia is a condition that has some very interesting facts surrounding it, especially the symptoms and
characteristics of the condition.
The symptoms include a widespread pain that occurs in the muscles, joints and tendons, a fatigue that can be
debilitating in nature, sleep disturbances, the presence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), facial pain or
headaches, and heightened sensitivity to certain things like odors, light, and sounds.
Individuals with fibromyalgia may also suffer from depression, a tingling or numbness in their feet or hands,
may experience mood changes, or difficulty concentrating, may experience chest pain, or have dry mouth, dry eyes or
dry skin, have episodes of dizziness or anxiety and if female, may admit to having painful monthly periods.
It is difficult to pinpoint why certain individual experience these symptoms but there are some theories that
have been bantered about including that those with the condition may have had some kind of spinal injury or trauma
that triggers the development of the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Others feel that the condition may have started with a viral or bacterial infection. The condition may also be
connected to changes in metabolism or abnormalities of the autonomic nervous system.
Individuals who are female, in their early or middle adult years, experience sleep disturbances, have a family
history of fibromyalgia or those who suffer from a rheumatic disease need to be aware of the symptoms of the
disease because they are at higher risk for fibromyalgia.
Individuals who experience the symptoms of fibromyalgia such as when they notice over a period of months that
they are experiencing general aching or pain that is generalized all over their body or that they are sensitive to
light, sound or odors; especially if they have a family history of fibromyalgia, have lupus, multiple sclerosis,
rheumatoid arthritis or thyroid hormone production (hypothyroidism), or other neuropathies they should notify their
doctor that they have concerns and the doctor can examine them.
There is no single test that can be done to come up with the diagnosis in a simple manner. Typically blood and
urine tests, X-rays, and other tests are done in order to rule out other disorders and conditions.
Doctors do have a form of help as the American College of Rheumatology has established some very general
classification guidelines for fibromyalgia in order to help physicians diagnose the condition.
Some of the diseases that doctors are able to rule out while conducting these tests are rheumatoid arthritis,
lupus and multiple sclerosis.

Why, when everyone else in the venue is soaked to the skin and exhausted, do you look like you just stepped out from under the hairdryer, having been in the shower ten minutes ago?
I sweat through my Mcmurray gland, it's much easier.
You are younger than the rest of the guys - aren't you afraid you'll be asked to push them around in their wheelchairs some day?
The state they're in at the airport some mornings, i'm already pushing them round on a trolley!
Who has the smelliest pants/socks/general existence on the tour bus?
I think "The Boy" has that honour.
When you first met Tim Mark and Rick did you feel a bit star struck? Or is all just rock and roll?
The first time i met them was in the 90's, i think i was probably quite starstruck then, whereas now its all Vodka for breakfast etc
How was the Barrow-in-Furness gig for you and did you like the venue? We never get bands of Ash's stature here, people were blown away, and they're still talking about it like the gig was yesterday!
That was a great show, it was totally packed and everyone was really up for it, one of the best shows of that run i think.
Would you also like to be their touring guitarist in the future?
I'm having a great time with them at the moment, though Rick keeps mentioning something about a fruit related party he wants me to attend, so i'm not sure how long it is until i'm fired for insubordination
On the bus: what are most of the arguments about? who has the weirdest eating habits? who's always in bed first/last?
What happens on tour, stays on tour, but a few mornings i've gotten up and Rick is still up from the night before!
How does touring with Ash differ from touring with Bloc Party?
I think the main difference is the relentless partying... these guys never stop!!
Touring with a new band must be tough, any annoying habits from the others which you wouldn't tell them about?
There's the infamous Fuji Rock bus incident, but i don't think that needs to be repeated in print form. In any form. Ever.
Who are you most scared of out of band or crew? Why?
"The Boy" can be a bit of an animal... now he has his own currency (see facebook), the power has gone to his head.
Would you try and talk Ash into playing a Bloc Party song live? If so which would it be? (Personally I would want Song for The Clay or Helicopter).
We did actually talk about fitting a Bloc chorus into an existing song, such as the breakdown of White Rabbit, that could be pretty cool
Do you prefer playing to loads of people (Reading Festival, Glastonbury, etc) or do you like the more intimate gigs?
Intimate sweaty gigs can be really fun and exciting, but my favourite memories tend to be from some of the festivals i've done.... sometimes it can be truly magical
How come you don't sweat on stage? Are you a robot? If you were a robot then what would your robot name be?
I don't think i'm a robot... would i know if i was? I don't think robots get to choose their own name, my creator would know though.
I hear a lot about the guitar gear you use, Boss Pedals and Fender hot rods, all used throughout your Bloc Party career. I'm very interested to know what effects you've specifically used when touring with Ash, and what you like about them.
I've really cut down for the Ash shows, its a completely different sound and not very effects based, so all i'm using are 2 distortions, a feedbacker and a delay pedal. it certainly makes things a lot simpler compared to my 18 or so pedals on my Bloc Party board!

Tip Your Cam Models
Back in May I wrote about the evolving sex-cams business, in which competition is leading to more and more "free show" perks as models perform on publicly-accessible feeds for free or for tips, as a sort of loss leader to attract paying customers for private shows.
Last month the live-cam model and performer Finley Blake apparently got fed up with all the non-paying non-tipping lurkers watching her feed waiting for her to do something fun for free. So she staged a one-woman cams-performer work stoppage and went on strike:
The sign reads:
I will not talk to you. I will sit here in silence and stare like 99% of you do.
Support artists. As cam models we are artists, performers, videographers, video editors, graphic designers, companions, entertainment, friends, confidantes, photographers, social media experts, and more! We perform for you, entertain you, produce content for you.
You pay for sports tickets, movies, videogames, music, art… You can pay for us too. You ♥ porn, right? Support us and we can keep providing entertainment and content.
Tip models. Say Hi. Stop being assholes.

A MAJOR international review of research into the health hazards of power lines has found that leukaemia risk is doubled in children exposed to high electro-magnetic field levels.
The study also found a much weaker but still significant association between occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and motor neuron disease in adults. However, in both cases it is far from clear whether there is any causal link.
In the case of childhood leukaemia, high electro-magnetic field (EMF) levels were more likely to be generated in the home by wiring and appliances than by pylons.
The leukaemia findings reflected those of a review of UK evidence by the National Radiological Protection Board in March, which said about 0.4pc of British children experienced high-level EMF exposure.
Three-year study, revealed yesterday was carried out by six senior experts from major research bodies around the world, including the Institute of Cancer Research in London, the US National Cancer Institute and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.

Walking through the main streets of the port area of #Valparaiso #Chile early one morning, it was eerily quiet and deserted, with very little traffic. This though was not the 11 September 1973, the day the military coup against the Allende government started, although perhaps it was a little like that then. This was in fact 20 April 2017, census day, when everyone was required to remain home and be counted. In 1973 they'd been required to remain home or be shot by the military & police in their streets, or bombed by the Chilean navy situated in the port & bay, with their naval guns facing the city. To this day the Chilean navy remains based in Valparaiso, with ships in the port harbour, just a warning perhaps?
The 1973 military coup was one of many knocks taken by Valparaiso over the years – another was the fact that General Augusto Pinochet, the coup leader & soon-to-be dictator, was a son of Valparaiso, born there in 1915. But as ever Valparaiso bounces back, and today is home to the Chilean Congress (since 1990 when Pinochet stepped down), a greatly recovering local economy, and maintains a strong alternative/bohemian culture alongside it's working class & international roots.
In fact Valparaiso's history is quite short, if very eventful – earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, naval battles, strikes, booms & busts. Under Spanish colonialism from the 1540's onwards, it remained a small seaside village until the early 19th century, continuing a way of life dating back thousands of years – a reliance on fishing and some agriculture (see the Picunche and Chango indigenous cultures), and surviving the odd earthquake (such as 1730 at 8.7) and tsunami. Then in the early 19th century a businessman built Valparaiso's first pier and began to develop a port, that would eventually reclaim close to 1km from the sea. This port soon became a major stopping point for shipping sailing around the bottom of south America from the Atlantic to Pacific, and gave Chile more importance to European traders. It was therefore ideally situated for the Californian goldrush (1848-60), and throughout the rest of the 19th century many from Europe & north America settled in Valparaiso, having a major impact on its culture & development – as the place expanded rapidly up the hills around it, and its population jumped from under 10,000 to nearly 200,000 in less than a century. It was also a key place for the development of organised workers along the Pacific coast.
The early 20th century saw Valparaiso hit its highs and lows. The 1903 Maritime strike was a major struggle in south American labour history. In 1906 Valparaiso was almost destroyed by a huge earthquake, from which it took many decades to recover. It's port then had a massive rebuild, but the opening of the Panama canal in 1914, and the start of WW1 in Europe, had an enomously negative impact on its economy, from which has arguably only recovered in the last 25 years. Ironically todays container ships are too big for the Panama canal, so Valparaiso has benefitted, although the profit drive from big business has forced workers into a series of strikes.
Today Valparaiso is a large bustling city of 250,000+ people. The climate is pretty mediterranean, which adds to the liveliness of its bars & nightlife! It has a large student population, a lot of alternative & bohemian culture & art, and lies in close proximity to the capital Santiago (120kms away), and the resort city of Vina del Mar is right next door. It's unique, if crazy geography, located on a series of hills overlooking the port area & bay, contributes to both its charm and the sense of 'edge' it has, perhaps because it does quite literally exist on the edge (of the 'Chile trench'). More recent earthquakes (2010, 2015 & 2017) and wildfires (2017) merely continue this edginess, but whatever happens one senses it will always bounce back.
