Every song in this album takes you on a journey. The stories are so deep and relatable. They’re about love, pain, survival, and power dynamics.Lauryn Hill has always fascinated me as an artist and as a thinker, a woman living and speaking authentically. Not a lot of people are that brave.This album was on repeat during my divorce in 2020. I have many memories of listening to it in my car, being in extreme pain, and feeling free simultaneously. Sometimes the universe talks to you through music. That’s why it is so powerful. Lupe Fuentes Gets Miseducated: Lupe Fuentes’ new single “DIP” is out now.Press bio:“In 2014, Fuentes launched her own imprint and br...

Appetizing & High Absorption- What Are The Best Foods To Pair With CBD Oil? View the original article about The Best Foods To Pair With CBD Oil at Real Tested CBD.CBD edibles are one of the most exciting categories in the hemp industry. Every week, it seems like a hemp brand is putting out a wild new CBD-infused treat to enjoy. However, just because you could find CBD in many foods doesn’t mean it pairs well with every product. Indeed, a few reports suggest CBD has the best bioavailability in certain edibles.When Pairing CBD With Food, Fat Is Your Friend!Whenever you’re thinking of mixing CBD oil with food, you must focus on the fat content. The higher the fat in your meal, the better the odds you will enjoy CBD’s maximum benefits.Please remember that cannabinoids like CBD are fat-soluble. CBD will cling to fat cells, which increases the likelihood you’ll absorb CBD when you eat it. By contrast, when you put CBD oil in water, the cannabinoids will separate out. Even though there are CBD-infused waters and seltzers on today’s ma...

TasteFood: Deconstructing the BLT

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:28:31 GMT

TasteFood: Deconstructing the BLT Shopping tip: If you spy a lumpy bag of bacon ends in the market, buy it. Bacon ends are key to this salad, which essentially takes a classic BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich) and tosses it into a big salad bowl as a deconstructed version of itself. It’s not a vegetarian’s dream, admittedly, but for bacon lovers, it’s heavenly.You can find bacon ends in vacuum-packed pouches in the deli and meat departments of your market. At first glance, the contents of the hefty packages, jammed with irregular hunks of bacon, are unidentifiable. They are not the neatly fanned bacon slices with which you are familiar. Bacon ends are just that — the hunks and ends of the meat that are trimmed and (gasp) discarded during production of those neatly arranged bacon strips. I am here to tell you that the chunks are revelatory. They are thick and meaty, with lots of pointy edges that will crisp to perfection when cooked.The best way to cook bacon ends is in the oven or on a...

Bay Area transplant being tormented by persistent robin attacking windows

Bay Area transplant being tormented by persistent robin attacking windows DEAR JOAN: After 40-plus years in the Bay Area, I have moved to the countryside east of Seattle. My house is surrounded by trees and has large windows in all rooms. For the past three weeks, a male robin has been hitting my windows mostly in the mornings, all morning.I figured he saw a reflection of a male bird in the window that could be a rival, so I have: closed the blinds; put up netting on the outside; put up paper on the outside to block the reflection; put up paper on the very few places that didn’t have paper, as he found every one of the open ones; cut out black shapes of predator birds and taped them to the outside paper.He has progressively gone to the adjacent window, then to the next, then the next. He is working his way around the outside of the house. I have lunged at him when I saw him coming and tried to scare him, but he keeps coming back. He is not hurting himself, but I just wonder if there is something else I can do to deter him, or if he will just stop wh...

How California’s historic wet winter could make wildfire season even worse

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:28:31 GMT

How California’s historic wet winter could make wildfire season even worse By David R Baker, Brian K Sullivan and Mark Chediak | BloombergDon’t let all the flooding fool you: The same rain and snow that have drenched California this winter and spring risk making the state’s next seasonal calamity — fire season — even worse.An epic winter left parts of the Central Valley underwater, a problem that may persist for months as one of California’s largest mountain snowpacks on record melts. That elevated moisture is now fueling an explosion of plant growth unlike anything the state’s seen in years. Whole landscapes are blossoming into so-called “superblooms,” as flowering bushes starved by years of drought make the most of the bounty. Soon, that growth will dry out, transforming buds and blossoms into kindling.“What we expect to see out of the rains is an increase in the amount of fuel there is to burn,” said Issac Sanchez, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, known as Cal Fire.Although the full price tag won’t become clear ...

‘A house of cards’: When the Big One comes, will Alameda be ready?

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:28:31 GMT

‘A house of cards’: When the Big One comes, will Alameda be ready? When the “Big One” eventually hits, the city of Alameda will have plenty to worry about.Like many East Bay cities, it’s covered in older, wood-frame buildings that would serve as tinder for post-quake fires. The island doesn’t have neighborhood water reservoirs, meaning there is less water readily available within city limits. And there are only five roads on and off Alameda — all in hazardous liquefaction zones.But perhaps the most pressing concern is the structural reality of the island. Much of it is manmade. Although there have been efforts to improve the island’s earthquake readiness, including a new drinking water connection installed just last week, Alameda still faces serious concerns about its construction.“All those apartment houses along the South Shore, that’s all soup,” said Dennis Evanosky, a longtime resident, documentarian and community historian. “Everything the water side of Otis, everything the water side of Clement, everything the water side of Main a...

Bay Area tech bust emerges after yearslong regional hiring boom

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:28:31 GMT

Bay Area tech bust emerges after yearslong regional hiring boom The Bay Area tech sector is shedding jobs in a big way after a prolonged pandemic-era hiring boom, an ominous turn for an industry that has spent decades as the primary engine of the region’s economy.Throughout its history, the tech industry has been known for its cycles of cataclysmic hiring downturns followed by equally dramatic upswings. But job losses in the early months of 2023 have unleashed warning signs, and even some soul-searching, in a sector that once again seems to have overstaffed for conditions.“The best way to make sense of this is to understand that tech is having a ‘moment,'” said Russell Hancock, president of Joint Venture Silicon Valley, a San Jose-based think tank. “If you’ve been around long enough, you know that Silicon Valley goes through downturns like this, usually about every eight to 10 years.”Long-time Valley watcher Tim Bajarin agreed. “Hiring and layoffs are not a precise science,” said Bajarin, a p...

San Jose police arrest 4, cite 21 during sideshow over weekend (KRON) -- The San Jose Police Department reported a sideshow that happened Sunday night at the intersection of Old Almaden Road and Curtner Avenue. Police arrested three suspects for fleeing or evading police and one suspect on a felony warrant. They also issued 21 spectator citations and impounded three cars for 30 days, officials said. SJPD officials said tow fees can range from $3,000 to $4,000."Sideshows have no business in San Jose," officials said on social media. "It’s just not worth it. Stay home."This event joins two other sideshows that happened in the Bay Area over the weekend: one in Oakland and another in San Francisco both on Saturday. Video from the San Francisco sideshow shows a red Mustang spinning donuts in front of St. Matthews Lutheran Church. The crowd ebbs and flows around the vehicle to avoid being hit.
