The Pizzadilla. Put A Tortilla In A Skillet And Cover It With Pizza Sauce And Cheese. Put Another Tortilla On Top.
Flip The Quesadilla Over To Cook The Other Side.
Make Sure It Looks Like This Before Breaking Out The Other Toppings.
Last Thursday marked a special occasion: Los Tigres del Norte have become the first norteño band to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The San Jose-based band, who left their hometown of Mocorito in Sinaloa in 1968 to head to California, were honored with the 2,527th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Los Tigres, made up of the Hernández brothers (Jorge, Hernán, Eduardo, and Luis) and their cousin Óscar Lara, have more than earned their industry stripes, having produced dozens of albums and sold millions of records.
“Los Tigres Del Norte has entertained many generations with their music for several decades,” said Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “We are pleased to embrace their entertainment careers with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”
As one of the longest-running Mexican regional music acts of all time, and consistent voices speaking to the realities of immigration, the group has also contributed to dialogue by founding Los Tigres Del Norte Foundation in 2000, through which they donated a sizable sum to UCLA’s Chicano Studies Center to create and preserve The Frontera Collection of Mexican and Mexican American Recordings.
Here are some clips from Los Tigres’ big day:

Richard Norris, 39
A Virginia man who lost half of his face to a shotgun accident, lived 15 years of his life without the bottom portion of his face, then received a face transplant has now graced the pages of GQ magazine with his own photoshoot.
Richard Norris received one of the world’s most extensive facial transplants in March of 2012, replacing everything below his eyes. Everything from his eyelids, to his jaw, and even his teeth once belonged to a 21-year old man named Josh.
In 1997, a 22-year old Norris blew off half of his face with a 12 gauge shotgun, according to GQ. Though he doesn’t remember anything from the incident and depends on his mom to recall that horrific day.
Richard Norris
For 15 years since the incident, Norris lived with his parents in rural Virginia as a near recluse until Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez and a team at the university of Maryland Medical Center performed an extensive face-transplant operation that lasted 36 hours. It was only the 23rd procedure to have taken place. It was also the doctor’s first time performing the operation on a live patient.
Despite being given a 50% chance to survive the procedure, Norris made it through and has thrived since. There are still concerns that his body might reject the face, for which he takes medication to keep that from happening.
His life may not be a normal one, considering he can’t get a job, and he can’t drive due to his risk of having seizures, but being an inspiration to so many people more than makes up for it.

The people at Urban Ghosts took a tour of some of the creepiest places in South America. From abandoned factories, to desolate Ghost towns. The following is what they found.
Chaitén, Chile
Chi-Chi-Chi! Le Le Le! I’m outta here!
An impending volcanic eruption forced residents to evacuate the small town in May of 2008. Anticipating a return, they saw their hopes shattered when the collected debris and mudflow overwhelmed a nearby river and flooded the town, causing so much damage that the town was deemed uninhabitable.
Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works, Chile
Expecting a gun fight to break out any moment.
The Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter works are two former saltpeter refineries in northern Chile, established in 1872 while the region was still part of Peru. Before being forced to sell due to effects of the Great Depression, busy towns grew around both works, and despite Santa Laura not enjoying great success, Humberstone became the the most successful saltpeter in the region. Both plants were abandoned in 1960, and are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Armero, Colombia
Camposanto
The Armero Tragedy is one of South America’s most tragic ghost town stories. An eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz Volcano destroyed the town, which until then, was the seat of the region, killing around 23,000 of its 31,000 inhabitants. Survivors were relocated to neighboring towns. The incident made international news.
As a reminder of the tragedy, survivors constructed an extensive cemetary on the site, constructing tombs with epitaphs where their homes used to be. The symbolic city is now called Camposanto.
Jonestown, Guyana
Jonestown
One of the most infamous incidents in modern history was the Jamestown “Revolutionary Suicide”. Led by cult leader Jim Jones, 918 members of the People’s Temple cult died at his settlement as well as at a nearby airstrip, and in Guyana’s capital Georgetown on November 18, 1978.
Jonestown was never inhabited again and lies in ruins to this day. The events that took place there are considered the largest single loss of American civilian life in a non-natural disaster before 9/11.
Sewell, Chile
At least there’s no traffic!
Founded in 1904 by Braden Copper Co., this colorful Chilean ghost town presided over the largest underground mine in the world. Sewell was home to over 14,000 people by 1918, and enjoyed many decades of prosperity.
The “City of Stairs” lacked many roads, and their workers, as well as families, reached Sewell by train. The camp began to fall silent in 1977 when the company started relocating workers to another site, but in 1988 the Chilean government declared Sewell a National Monument, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Fordlândia, Brazil
I saw this movie once. Doesn’t end well.
Fordlândia is an abandoned, prefabricated town in the Amazon rainforest. Purchased by Henry Ford in 1928, it was intended to supply cultivated rubber for the Ford Motor Company. Several factors contributed to the site closing down before even producing anything, a few of which were unfavorable weather conditions, and the manufacturing of synthetic rubber. Henry Ford’s grandson sold the site for a $20 million loss, and to this day remains an abandoned site.

What gives, China?! First the huge bugs, record breaking tumors, and now blood red rivers. It’s like a modern day Ten Plagues. Run! The end is coming!
I suggest all first born sons get out of there ASAP!
A river in the Chinese town of Wenzhou suddenly turned red today, baffling locals and scientists alike. According to locals, the river was flowing normally at 4am, but was crimson red in less than two hours. Industrial contamination has been ruled out as there are no chemical plants nearby.
You guys are gonna regret not getting out of there!
Something similar happened in 2012 when the Yangtze river changed colors due to what officials claim was a distribution of sand caused by uphill flooding. Locals and sceptics alike weren’t convinced, theorizing that it was an impending apocalypse among other bizzare conclusions.
