Bay Area's Best Indian Food
Growing tired of sub-par Indian restaurants, The Snobby Foodie searched long and hard to find the Bay Area's Best Biryani. Her search took her to places so sketchy that she was sometimes afraid to leave her car. One time, she was served an overpriced plate of biryani, and she had to send it back because it was mushy and gross.
Finally, she made a list of the Bay Area's Best Biryani. Despite her many findings, she kept returning to the same places that provided great service, consistency, and excellent food.
North Indian: Tava Indian Bistro
It's refreshing when an Indian restaurant serves a different chutney with the momos than it serves with the papadum. I was like 95% sure thy were going to be the same & was 100% ready to get annoyed. But was pleasantly surprised when the flavors were drastically different. Well played. It's a bummer that my standards for Indian restaurants have come so low.
The curries at Tava tasted unique (not like a blend of each other), the meat was perfectly done, and nothing was overly oily. I'd recommend this place and I would come back. I actually really enjoyed it! (This is a rare comment, coming from me.) The curries are great. I didn't try the biryani because it wasn't dum.
Ways you can mess up biryani:
- Too greasy
- Mushy, Overcooked Rice
- Flavorless Curry
- Overcooked chicken
- Not enough pizzazz (cashews, raisins - I call these party favors)
South Indian: Udupi Place (Berkeley & SF, CA)
What to Get: Rasam & Mysore Sada Dosa OR Thali
This is the type of meal where you tie up your hair. When it comes to serving spicy food that's actually spicy, these people are NOT messing around.
For $15, you taste buds will be so stimulated and your belly will be so full that you'll have to eat an entire bowl of raita and roll home. Raise your hand if you've accidentally bought over priced dosa. Overpriced dosa is like eating overpriced crepes. What am I paying for? I mean- I have Alton Brown's recipe on my computer! The point is: don't overpay for dosa.
Side Note: Some of you may have thought that Indians eat butter chicken all day, 'er day. You'll be surprised to know that India is quite a large country with diverse food. WOW! Also, dosa is the ish.
Fusion: Avatar's (Sausalito, CA)
The first time you go here, let the owner order for you. Do you have a dietary restriction or preference or are you just picky? The owner will adjust any dish to your preference and spice level. He has an amazing memory and will remember the dish you order the next time you come to the restaurant.
What you should get the second time you go: Punjabi Enchiladas OR Lamb Curry
Owner (with charming accent): We were the first restaurant that catered to celiac disease in 1989. Your doctor didn't even know what the hell celiac disease was back then.
On that note- how do you make a samosa gluten-free and make it as EPIC as this? HOW HOW HOW HOW?!?!?
Usually restaurants that attempt fusion are just plain awful. They usually do neither cuisine well. At Avatar's this is not the case.
BTW- all other fusion places are total garbage. Seriously. Take my word on it.
Okay, I know these restaurants are nowhere near each other, but hear me out! The food is the best I've had in the Bay Area (and I've had A LOT of Indian food). You should give it a go and let me know what you think!
If you have any suggestions, comment below and I'll give it a go. Until then, here are some posts to quench your newly found Indian food cravings:
THE ARCHIVE -- past winners
North Indian: Aasna (Milpitas, CA) --> Closed :(
What to Get: Chicken Biryani & Baigan Ka Bharta
I know what you're thinking. Where is the butter chicken? Don't you fret, you can get butter chicken, vindaloo, and chicken korma here too. I like this restaurant because they do the things on their menu well. They don't just offer dishes for the sake of it.
If you don't know what chicken biryani is, you haven't been reading this blog long enough. It's a chicken and rice dish that takes quite a bit of effort and attention to timing. Basically, it's rice and chicken curry layered and cooked in a way that the curry flavor is embedded in the rice. There's a lot of ways to do it wrong.

Did you know that there are free Open Source alternatives to some of the most popular computer programs on the market today? Unlike proprietary software, anyone can view and modify the source code for Open Source software to create modified or derived works of the original program. Because the source code can be freely accessed, most open source software is free to download.
If you don't have Microsoft Office, before you buy it, try LibreOffice or Open Office instead.
Tired of Internet Explorer? Firefox and Chrome are great Open Source alternatives.
Can't afford Photoshop? Try GIMP!
Looking for a Dreamweaver equivalent? BlueGriffon and KompoZer have similar features and are free!
If you're looking for an alternative to Windows and Mac, try Linux Mint! There are many distributions of Linux available but Mint appears to be the most popular lately (http://distrowatch.com). Install it on an old computer and try it out.
These are just a handful of the numerous Open Source programs that are available to you. If you're interested in learning more, here are some resources…

|A very raw single image NGC891
I have been out a few nights at least, mostly collecting photon data that I still have to process. This is a single raw image of NGC891 that is just extremely roughly processed. It was about 6 minutes at ISO 1000 with the 60Da. Stars look very round, so my autoguiding seems to be doing well!
I do have a handful of other images of this that I still need to stack and process, but waiting for a rainy day - which I think starts this week.
When the moon comes out, you can get a pretty nice shot of it before it goes full and just blows away the whole sky. Either play with it, or close the dome and do other things. This is a nice 1st quarter I took last week. Canon 60Da, at f/10 on the 12" Meade. It's three images attached together. It does come out pretty, and the sunrise along the terminator down the middle is the best part where you get a nice 3d effect from the long shadows from the lunar mountains and crater rims.
|Just a few more things and it will fly
|Horizontal Stabilizer done
More on that project later.

Some favorites from my daughter's younger years were pulled recently for bedtime read-alouds.
What my seven year old son enjoys now, my almost eleven year old daughter loves to hear again as well.
Isn't this what makes a good story? ~ that we WANT to hear it again and again?
You need to muster up a good Italian accent to read these books aloud!
Strega Nona is one of our all time favorites! When I read it this week, my daughter wondered if this story was related to The Sorcerer's Apprentice.... good question. (I'll have to Google that one.)
Once you meet Big Anthony, Strega Nona's trusted assistant, you will want to learn more about him. Big Anthony, His Story must be the next book you read. Big Anthony is a lovable, well-intentioned boy who tries to get things right, but it never quite works out for him!
Finally, Strega Nona Meets Her Match is a good way to round out this threesome.
We fell in love with Tomie dePaola long ago.... but last year we really enjoyed the 26 Fairmount Avenue series... we read the entire series in just a couple of weeks. I have to thank Amy for recommending them on her blog.
These three stories are filled with little bits of Italian and pieces of history and geography. As always, the pictures are marvelous and there are lots of giggles as I read each book.
"Reading is important because if you can read you can learn anything about everything and everything about anything."
~Tomie dePaola
I hope you can take a minute to watch this clip of Tomie dePaola talking about the importance of reading... it reinforces to me the importance of my role as a MOTHER who READS to her children!


text: First of all, thanks so much to all of my human and animal friends that wished me a happy birthday! I wish I could have celebrated with all of you! Now I have to catch up on a little R&R after all of that partying. This calls for a little cat nap, don't ya think?

Innovate UK Grant Funding for the Co-Firing Waste Derived Torrefied Biogenic Fibre with Coal
November 2015
We are pleased to announce that Wilson Bio-Chemical Ltd has been successful in obtaining a grant from Innovate UK, the UK's Innovation Agency, of £40,000 towards a project cost of £144,000 to carry out a practical feasibility study for the production of Bio-Char from MSW and commercial waste.
Bio-Char is a "coal-like" substance similar to charcoal which can replace coal or co-mingle with coal as a fuel within power-plants and domestic furnaces.
This material behaves in a similar fashion to coal without creating any further environmental impact than burning coal on its own.
It is planned to prove the benefits of Bio-Char from waste using the Wilson Autoclave as the preparation process followed by low temperature pyrolysis particularly with respect to achieving End of Waste status on the product thus allowing its use in all solid fuel burners without the need for a Waste Incineration licence.
This project is of one year duration by a consortium of partners including the BDC, Leeds University, North Energy and Sol Environmental.

We love the Four Seasons brand having experienced it in Bangkok, Kohsamui, ChiangMai, Chicago, Singapore, the Maldives and Mumbai and were not in the least bit worried about the service aspect of this adventure even though it was located in the infamous Golden triangle, once known for its opium trade. At the airport, we were greeted by the Four Seasons tented camp staff and were transported to the Ruak river where our magical journey to paradise began. From the moment the long tail boat set off along the muddy river toward the tented camp, we knew that this would be a holiday adventure like no other. The boat ride was a thrill in itself and as we went past the exquisite bamboo jungles, we began to see the camp tents in the distance, neatly tucked along the sides of a hill. Soon we reached our destination and were met by the super attentive and polite staff, so typical of the Four Seasons brand, who welcomed us with a drink at the Burma Bar, well-known for its stunning sunset views and amazing cocktails, often served in unique hand carved bamboo glasses.

The use of recreational drugs has long been a problem throughout the United States. But, in recent years, the increase of opioid drug abuse has become an epidemic. With a record number of overdoses from opioid drugs reported, and as it continues to rise, the illegal use of these drugs has led to a public health issue. And, as emergency responders are usually the first to treat drug overdoses, this has become a growing problem EMS are faced with when they are called to action.The Rise of Opioid DrugsEmergency responders, hospitals, doctors, and sometimes family members and friends, have seen an increase of unconscious people in need of medical attention as the use of opioid drugs becomes an epidemic. Surprisingly, there is no stereotype to what the typical patient, who has overdose from opioid drugs, looks like. Ranging in age, demographics, societal status, and profession, these drugs have been known to spare no one when addiction takes over. And, because of its wide availability and low cost, heroin becomes the next step in the opioid addicts' venture. The rise of these drugs, in their recreational use, can be largely attributed to their potential for addiction and the years of prescriptions being readily available. The relaxation and sleep effect, that they have on the body, makes them a pleasurable choice throughout our entire society. So, how has the medical field increased their ability to respond to these types of calls and successfully reverse the damage of drug overdose on patients?Changing Our WaysOne of the most important methods of preventing opioid abuse starts right with the prescribing physician. The CDC has developed a Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain to start cracking down on the ease of availability of these drugs to the public. Medical providers are required, and urged, to follow certain practices when readily writing a prescription to a patient who is complaining of chronic pain. While this can be frustrating for patients, it reduces liability on the medical provider, by eliminating the risk of writing a prescription to someone who is using the medication for recreational use. Pharmacies, doctors' offices, and hospitals have implemented prescription monitoring programs that can track what opioids have been prescribed to patients. Additionally, state laws have been enacted to make medical providers accountable for their readiness to prescribe these addictive drugs.The Use of NaloxoneAs the epidemic has spread throughout the United States, many states are taking a proactive approach to dealing with drug overdoses. The competitive opioid antagonist Naloxone, widely known as Narcan, has been made available to prehospital providers. This allows first responders to react quickly and efficiently, when presented with a call involving a drug overdose, potentially reversing the life-threatening effects of the drugs. Since needle stick injuries are common among those administering drugs, especially in the nursing and EMS professions, various forms of Naloxone have been made available to medical providers. Since drug abusers are known to have bloodborne infections, from shared needle use, attempting to administer Naloxone to someone who may not be cooperating can pose a problem to emergency responders. Intranasal administration of Naloxone has been ruled to be the most effective way to administer the drug, entering it right into the central nervous system, to reduce the risk of injury to medical professionals.Public AssistanceTo curb the damaging effect of opioid abuse on our society, those involved in coming to a resolution have enlisted the assistance of the public to help with the fight. Since deaths from drug overdose have quadrupled over the years, and studies show more than 90 Americans die every day from this problem, community programs are being developed all over the United States to fight this epidemic. Since the death from opioid overdose is majorly attributed to life-threatening respiratory arrest, some communities have even decided to enlist the help of community members in the administration of Narcan. For example, in Boston, community members, likely to be around the population that would be at risk for overdose, are trained in the administration of Narcan. These short training efforts, as little as fifteen minutes, have led to many reversals from overdose in opioid users.The rise of opioid drug use has long been an issue that is dealt with by medical providers, community leaders, school administration, and even families. As we gain more knowledge and research on how to battle this public health issue, it seems we are on the right track to overcoming this life-threatening addiction. Through the corroboration of medical professionals, state law makers, and the public, citizens are coming together from all ends of the spectrum to reduce this problem for the next generation.

Paramount Pictures looks to be moving forward with its $100 million film adaptation of Hasbro's "Monster Trucks" toy line which Chris Wedge ("Ice Age") is set to direct.
Even though a May 29th 2015 release date is set and production is slated for this summer, the official green light still hasn't been given.
That hasn't stopped the studio eyeing up actors Lucas Till ("X-Men: First Class") and Jane Levy ("Suburgator") for the lead roles in the potential franchise launcher, though no formal offers are said to be on the table as yet.
If they do close deals, Till would play a bad boy with a good heart, Levy would play a character said to resemble a "high school version of Tina Fey". Dylan Minnette and Nick Robinson were also previously linked for roles but have since committed to other projects.
Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger ("Kung Fu Panda") will pen the script which is said to be an Amblin-esque movie that will be a blend of "The Goonies" and "Transformers".

The Varsity Reds secured a win in their first game on home ice this regular season, topping Dalhousie 6-3.
The game started with a rocky first period for the V-Reds. The first goal came easily, when Cameron Brace found the net at 4:39. Cam Braes and Francis Beauvillier had the assist. It was Beauvillier's first time in the Varsity Reds jersey after being added to the roster eariler this week.
The celebration was shortlived, however. Dalhousie answered quickly with a goal of their own at the fifth minute. Pierre Vandall tied it up, with an assist from Alex Cote and Mitch O'Neill.
UNB's second goal came at 9:39, when Matt Boudens brought the Varsity Reds in front again. Randy Gazzola had the assist.
The Tigers' Mike Evelyn tied it up for Dalhousie at 15:34, and UNB would head to the locker room with the score at 2-all and 16 shots on goal compared to Dalhousie's six.
The second period started with three fast goals from the Varsity Reds. Dylan Willick, Matt Boudens and Randy Gazzola each lit up the scoreboard and suddenly UNB found itself up 5-2 five minutes into the second.
Still in the second, newly named UNB captain Cam Critchlow scored the sixth goal for the V-Reds off an assist from Cam Braes and Cam Brace.
There would be no more goals until the beginning of the third period, when the Tigers' JP Harvey got one past UNB goalie David Shantz.
UNB head coach Gardiner MacDougall says he's pleased with the team's performance here at home, especially given that it was the first time playing in front of the Aitken Centre crowd for close to half the roster.
"I thought we had lots of energy in the first, but maybe didn't get the performance," he said. "In the second we got more results and maybe the performance was down a little bit, but we got the results. You find a way."
The Varsity Reds play again in Fredericton tomorrow, when they host St.FX at 7pm.
The Dalhousie Tigers travel to Moncton, where they will play UdeM at the same time.

Toroidal inductors are often used in passive filter and equalizer circuits in the 1- to 100-MHz range. For appreciable relative permeabilities and moderate circuit selectivities, stray magnetic fields are sparse1. Coils can be adjusted to desired inductance by spreading or squeezing the turns of the magnet wire winding1. The design of toroidal inductors entails tradeoffs between cost and factors such as desired inductance value, physical size, unloaded Q, power handling, adjustability, fragility, and operating temperatures. For small signal levels, small physical size, and reasonable unloaded Q, Micrometals powdered iron toroids with outer diameters of 0.25 in. and 0.375 in. are commonly used2.
The maximum single-layer winding for a given size toroidal inductor is tabulated for various wire sizes2. For convenient adjustability, the number of turns must be somewhat less than the maximum single layer winding. Between 3 and 40 MHz, a suitable toroid is the Micrometals T37-6. This core, which uses Carbonyl SF iron powder, has a relative permeability of 8.5 and a temperature stability of 35 ppm/°C2. It also has nominal dimensions of 0.375-in. outer diameter, 0.205-in. inner diameter, and 0.128-in. thickness. Wire sizes between 22 and 28 AWG are preferable. Thinner wire is fragile and prone to breakage. Thicker wire, when pulled tight, can fracture the toroidal core.
With 26-AWG wire, the maximum single-layer winding is 29 turns for the T37-6 toroid2. Allowing for adjustability, an inductor of 20 turns was wound and tested. It was connected in parallel with a 200-pf ceramic capacitor with a ±2% tolerance. Shown in the figure is a tank circuit installed in a series transmission path, within a 50-Ω test setup. This circuit acts as a single-resonator band-reject filter. It's tuned to maximum and minimum resonant frequencies by spreading and squeezing the turns. From the measured resonant frequency and known capacitance, the toroidal inductance is calculated as per equation 1:
L = 126.65/f2 (1)
where f is frequency in megahertz and L is inductance in microhenries.
The test setup illustrated in the figure also can be used to perform indirect measurements of the inductor's unloaded Q. Table 1 indicates the measured values of inductance.
It's possible to extend the range of realizable inductance without going to a larger diameter toroid or thinner magnet wire. This is accomplished by pressing two identical T37-6 cores together and winding them simultaneously with 20 turns of 26-AWG wire. The measurements previously made for a singlecore inductor are repeated for a twocore inductor (Table 2).
By using two or more of the same toroidal cores wound together, an extended inductance range with acceptable adjustability can be achieved. The composite multicore inductor can be staked using Q-dope or suitable alternative materials. Such a design technique is appropriate for small-quantity applications. Fixed surface-mount inductors are typically employed for large-scale manufacture.

A few months ago, I wrote a not-entirely-positive review of eSalon. You can read that here.
Regardless of my experience, I have gotten a ton (and I mean, a ton) of referral credits because of that blog post. As they piled up, I started to think, "Maybe I should just use these."
Ultimately, my issue with eSalon came down to false advertising (don't say you have violet undertone hair dye if you don't use blue dye!) instead of a subpar product. eSalon is basically slightly expensive drug store dye; you pay for the extras (that stain guard, baby). I don't find the quality many different from a box of Garnier Fructis, to be honest.
That being said, because of all those credits, I've ordered a lot from eSalon in the past few months. Like, a lot more than I ever thought I would. Here's what I've ordered.
1. Hair dye in "chocolate brown"
To return my hair to my original color (and not the craptastic red shade I'd ended up with the first time), I ordered a hair dye in… dark brown. I sent them a photo of my hair pre-dye incident and they matched it pretty close. My hair is dark, very dark, almost black, but thanks to that red dye, had faded to a weird wishy-washy pale brown. Not cute. It's back to its original luster now, but like with my past review, even though eSalon says they cover grays for 8 weeks, mine are usually showing by 3-4 weeks. Not ideal, but honestly, not awful.
2. eSalon's Heart Lock It Color Care Shampoo and Love Unconditionally Color Care Conditioner
Listen, I really liked the samples of these shampoos I received in my first order, even though the color sucked. So with some credits, I ordered full size bottles. They're pretty expensive for their size, but they've lasted since March, so I guess it's not the worst. The shampoo and conditioner are bomb and I definitely feel like they've helped keep my hair color around longer.
3. Big Love Color Care Volumizing Shampoo
I'm always looking to add volume to my very flat hair, so as my first bottle of Heart Lock It dwindles down, I ordered the volumizing version of their shampoo. I actually love it; it works insanely well. And the bottle matches my bathroom decor so much better.
4. Get Lifted Root Lift Spray
Because I opted out of the matching volumizing conditioner (since I'm only halfway through my first bottle), I ordered this instead. I love root lifting spray and this one fit the bill because it won't damage my hair color. I find it works pretty well. Not as good as my tried-and-true John Frieda root lifter… but pretty good.
If you'd like to try eSalon, you can use my referral link to receive $10 off your first hair color order.

...and I forgot where we were & kissed you lightly on the nose & suddenly there was no more secret.' ~ Storypeople
Secrets. I can be trusted with them. This I have discovered. I never used to be good at keeping secrets… when I was a kid I was useless in fact… but now I'm a bit of a pro.
It's just one of the many great things about my job, I get to know the good news first. :) A few years back I was lucky enough to photograph a very good friend's wedding and that was a BIG fat secret. That was a tough one to keep in… very tough… I didn't reply to texts or phone calls for weeks. But I did it.
I've known Katie for about 8 years as we used to work at the same place but I hadn't seen her for years (oh apart from that night at the pub with the 'psychic' dude, remember that Katie?!!). Then she got in touch a few years back and booked a session for her and her two gorgeous boys. We had such a good time and have kept in touch ever since. Funny how things work out.
Anyway Katie decided to book a session with me for her & her boyfriend Jonathan as a Valentine's gift. She wanted some beautiful photos of the two of them, a special treat and something they can look back on in years to come and just remember...
Little did she or I know (although I bet the psychic dude knew) that this session months later would end up being their engagement session!
We all met at Marbury Park and I will always remember the look on Katie's face... "we've got a secret..." and then she shoved out her hand in front of me with a huge grin on her face. Jonathan's grin was just as wide.
I will admit to getting a little teary eyed... I've never seen two people more happy. Honestly, it was infectious.
Katie & Jonathan... thank for trusting me, thank you for being such a good sports with the hot pink brolly on such a busy day in the park and thank you for booking me to shoot your wedding next year. I cannot WAIT. xxxx

UCSB undergraduates provide the economic foundation for KCSB-FM's continuing operations.
Every two years, self-assessed student fees are voted on during Associated Students' springtime elections. To show support for Santa Barbara's only community radio station, UCSB students are again asked to vote on two KCSB fee reaffirmations, "KCSB/KJUC" and "AS Professional Media Staff" (aka "Communications Personnel").
Voting happens online through the UCSB GOLD system starting at 8am, on Monday, April 22nd, and ends on Thursday, April 25th, at 4pm.
To find out more, see our "Pro Statements" for each ballot measure below.
"Do you support continued funding of $2.96* (of which $0.44 is return to aid) per AS/UCSB Membership per quarter (fall, winter, spring) and $2.56* (of which $0.44 is return to aid fee) for summer quarter for KCSB/KJUC?"
KCSB/KJUC Pro Statement
KCSB-FM is YOUR radio station!
All students have the opportunity to become involved directly in all aspects of running this independent, noncommercial, and educational media outlet. At KCSB you can learn the fundamentals of radio broadcasting, both technically and in terms of program content, whether in news, sports, public affairs, cultural arts, or music.
KCSB strives to ensure that these opportunities are offered to a diverse community, especially people who are traditionally underrepresented in broadcasting. For its listeners, KCSB strives to provide programming that is stimulating, informative and generally unavailable from other local media. KCSB's news and public affairs programming provide a forum for underrepresented and/or controversial perspectives on important local, national, and international issues. Our cultural arts and music programming cover a wide spectrum of expression, from traditional to experimental.
In addition to our broadcasts, KCSB publicizes and hosts campus and community events, such as Town Hall meetings, films, concerts, and lectures. This past quarter we put on the Poolside concert at the Hub. Please continue to support KCSB, your student-run college/community radio station.
"Do you support continued funding of $5.18* (of which $0.73 is for return to aid) per AS/UCSB Membership per quarter (fall, winter, spring) and $4.43* (of which $0.73 is for return to aid) for summer quarter for AS Communication Personnel?"
AS Professional Media Staff / Communications Personnel Pro Statement
The Communications Personnel budget covers the salaries of all of Associated Student's professional media staff. This includes A.S. Assistant Director for Independent Media & KCSB's Advisor, Development Coordinator, Chief Engineer, IT Administrator, and News Director and Journalism Advisor.
The professional media staff members maintain all equipment at KCSB; train students in principles of journalism, media production and editing, including radio, video, print, and multimedia applications; and provide equipment for studio and field recordings. We assist student staff in creating, governing, and maintaining these media outlets. All of this is done with no charge to participating students and participation is open to all.
We remain a very small staff for running a full-time, full-power radio station and providing other media opportunities, such as The Bottom Line. Please continue to support A.S. Communications Personnel.

On View: May 5 - June 25, 2016
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 7, 2016 from 5 - 8pm
The eleven rooms and six houses referenced in Opheim's title allude to the eleven paintings and six sculptures the artist is presenting at Zevitas Marcus. While Opheim's current painting practice has a direct relationship with sculpture this is the first time that he has exhibited three-dimensional work. The six intricately constructed sculptures on view are made from the discarded clothes of friends and family.
In 2011, Opheim abandoned abstraction in favor of imagery. The ongoing body of work that has resulted is a complex amalgamation of portraiture and still-life. For Opheim, it is important that his work have a real world referent, and to this end, he renders tiny clay models before beginning a painting. His "subjects" most often end up being painted large-scale. They are an ever expanding family of grotesquely soulful creatures.
Transformation is a key concept for Opheim. As he states, "With this exhibition I am thinking about our stories and fables… the transformation and experiences of mine and others." In a very real sense, transformation augments the fables. Paintings that begin as sculpture are juxtaposed against sculpture that begin as someone's clothing. Each piece embodies the weight of it's own history, adding richness and depth to the personal universe Opheim creates.
This universe is at once whimsical and deeply corporal. Lovingly painted creatures with colorful, play-doh-like skin confront the viewer with bulging eyes, disjointed body parts, and various, sometimes misplaced, orifices. As Boston Globe critic Cate McQuaid observed, "The sheer scale of many of them intimidates. What would be cute at 6 inches tall becomes monstrous at human size. It's hard for the mind to square adorable with confrontational… Opheim navigates the unruly thicket of themes blending childhood with adulthood – concepts that we ordinarily prefer to keep separate – to unsettling effects."
Opheim's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally for more than twenty years. He has recently presented solo exhibitions at The Columns Gallery in Seoul, South Korea, Boltax Gallery in New York, and Steven Zevitas Gallery in Boston. His work has been featured in art fairs including VOLTA NY, ArtMRKT, and Miami Project. He is the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. This is his first one-man exhibition at Zevitas Marcus.
The artist will be in attendance for an opening reception on Saturday, May 7 from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM. For additional information, please contact Richard Marcus at 424.298.8088. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 AM – 6 PM.

I have a great amount of respect for chefs like Michael Schwartz, who experience enormous success and resist the urge to open a new restaurant in some fancy hotel where eight restaurants before it have failed or to act as "consulting chef" for an airline. I guess that is a difficult urge to fight since oftentimes successful chefs expand for the sake of expansion.
So, here's the poll:
[polldaddy poll=2387393]
(A little info for those who haven't heard. The Villa by Barton G is supposed to be the new restaurant at Casa Casaurina. And Ola Cuba is a new Douglas Rodriguez restaurant set to open at the renovated Gulfstream.)

For Alison:
This historic photograph, taken at the 1967 Boston Marathon, is of an angry man, Jock Semple, attempting to stop Karen Switzer from participating. When he noticed her participating in the race, Jock Semple shouted at Karen Switzer, "Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers!"
Karen Switzer was the first woman to compete in the Boston Marathon as a numbered competitor. Jock Semple was shoved to the ground by Karen Switzer's boyfriend, Thomas Miller. Women were, in fact, not allowed to compete in the Boston Marathon officially until 1972.
Jock Semple's behavior is bewildering today, but in 1967 – not so long ago, I was myself 5-years old – a "woman's place" was still something to be determined either by her father, husband, or boss. When asked his opinion of Karen Switzer having competed in the 1967 Boston Marathon, Boston Athletic Association Director Will Cloney reportedly said, "Women can't run in the Marathon because the rules forbid it. Unless we have rules, society will be in chaos. I don't make the rules, but I try to carry them out. We have no space in the Marathon for any unauthorized person, even a man. If that girl were my daughter, I would spank her."
Asked why she had continued in the race after the attack by Jock Semple, Karen Switzer said, "I knew if I quit, nobody would ever believe that women had the capability to run 26-plus miles. If I quit, everybody would say it was a publicity stunt. If I quit, it would set women's sports back, way back, instead of forward. If I quit, I'd never run Boston. If I quit, Jock Semple and all those like him would win. My fear and humiliation turned to anger."

The May jobs report was bad news, but it was not as bad as the Washington Post and many other news outlets made it seem.
When we get monthly data it is always important to remember that we are pulling out a snapshot from a longer period of time. Firms do not make their hiring and firing decisions over a single month. They have general impressions of how many people they need and they adjust their workforce accordingly.
For this reason it is important to take the 54,000 jobs created in May against the backdrop of 234,000 jobs added in April. Employers who hired many workers in April were likely to add few or none in May. For example, the retail sector reportedly added 64,000 jobs in April. It lost 8,500 in May. Food manufacturing added 6,300 workers in April, it lost 7,000 in May.
It is more likely that the April numbers overstated the underlying rate of job growth in the economy and the May numbers understate it, than there was some huge shift in the economy between the two months. Still, the average rate of job growth over the last three months was just 160,000.
It takes roughly 90,000 jobs a month to keep even with the rate of growth of the labor force. This means that if the economy stayed on this growth path, it would take almost a decade to get back to normal levels of unemployment. Furthermore, with house prices falling again and another round of state and local cutbacks kicking in next month, it is more likely that the job growth will be slowing than speeding up in the months ahead.

Smiling faces captured in an open air photo booth will go on to be new Facebook profile pictures, Twitter Avatars, LinkedIn Head shots, and Instagram posts. They'll be in albums, timeline photos, and tweets - which is all great news for you if your brand is attached. Guests who have the ability to instantly share on-site are much more likely to share images than those guests who must find a gallery post-event. To get the most brand visibility for your conference, launch party, or meet-up, follow these best practices:
1. Have a Reliable Internet Connection
Social sharing is key for brand visibility, but it won't matter if your internet connection is acting like a 1996 AOL dial up. If guests have to wait even 10 minutes to share their images, the rate of sharing drops drastically. In the words of one of our favorite Youtube videos - "Ain't nobody got time for that." We all want instant gratification. In the best case scenario, you'll have a wifi connection that blocks anyone besides the photo booth from joining. You can also use mobile tethering or a dedicated hotspot to ensure reliability. In some cases, the photo booth company will build this into their social sharing rate.
2. Use a Custom Overlay with a Centered Logo
We most commonly think about a photo overlay as a watermark in the corner of an image; however, this is a huge missed opportunity for your brand visibility. Over 70 million images are shared on Instagram every day (Instagram) and these images are all cropped to square! That means that your logo in the corner will be cut off. To avoid that, design a social overlay with instagram in mind keeping your branding in the center.
3. Auto-attach a Hashtag with Twitter Shares
Many times photo booth social sharing will allow you to auto-attach a hashtag, text, or Twitter handle with your guest's uploads. For some more advanced marketers, you can take this one step further by entering a landing page URL as the default upload text. This way, when anyone converts on that landing page you can actually attribute your open air photo booth rental as a tactic in a broader lead generation strategy.
4. Use a custom branded backdrop
Your guests can choose to post to social media without your recommended hashtag or download the image from the gallery without any branded overlay, but one thing they cannot do is change the actual background of the image. Custom step-and-repeats or branded backdrops are a great way to show-case your brand or event sponsors and continue to create exposure as these photos are uploaded and shared.

One of the coolest things about the Pi is the ability to leave it on all the time without worrying about your electricity bill. It uses very little power, but can still do so many different things 24 hours a day. The Pi is also very stable for a cheap computer when left alone. Mine is currently at 47 days of uptime (you can check my Pi's status here: http://treddell.com/pi/) and my friend's Pi was at 101 days at one point.
However, a brief flicker in your electrical source can bring your uptime crashing down to 0 days and interrupt whatever the Raspberry Pi was doing at the time. But you can check out this project to prevent this: Raspberry Pi Battery Backup.
This tutorial from Repair Hub unfortunately uses the backup as a quick way to gracefully shut down the Pi. I'm interested in a cheap solution to keep the Pi running until the power comes back on or the battery is depleted. This UPS System (uninterruptable power supply) looks like it would do the trick. It would run for about ~40 min at 10 W of output. A Model B Raspberry Pi is rated at using 3.5 W while idle. This means we could get 114 minutes on battery backup. Not too bad.

The best iPhone 8 Plus deals in May 2018
If the iPhone X's price is too much for you to stomach, but you still want a big-screened iPhone, then perhaps the iPhone 8 Plus is the way to go.
It has a 5.5-inch screen and an impressive camera, even if doesn't have the cache of the iPhone X. It's still not a cheap phone by any means, so you'll definitely want to peruse all the iPhone 8 Plus deals that you'll find here.
Below you'll find deals from carriers like T-Mobile and Verizon, which include discounts on a second phone and offers for your trade-in. Further down the page you'll find unlocked options.
If you'd rather purchase directly from Apple, you can expect to pay $799 for the 64GB model or $949 for the 256GB model, but you can get up to $315 in credit when you trade in your old iPhone.
Don't need such a big phone? Check out these iPhone 8 deals.
The best iPhone 8 Plus deals from US Carriers
The best money-saving plans: T-Mobile plans | Verizon plans | AT&T plans | Sprint plans
iPhone 8 Plus review in brief
Brilliant, but in the shade of the iPhone X
Screen size: 5.5-inches | Resolution: 1080 x 1920 | Rear camera: 12MP | Weight: 202g | OS: iOS 11 | RAM: 3GB | Storage: 64GB/256GB | External storage: No | Battery: 2675mAh
Great camera
Premium look and feel
Wireless charging
Lacks the pizzazz of the iPhone X
How much does the iPhone 8 Plus cost?
The short answer is $799. That's what Apple charges for the 64GB iPhone 8 Plus, available in silver, gold, or space gray.
Of course, if you need more memory, then it's going to cost you more; your only other option is spending an extra $150 and grabbing a $949 256GB iPhone 8 Plus.
As we've outlined above, there are ways to get a deal, or at the very least, break your cost out into more manageable monthly payments (also available via Apple).

"He died? Why did he die? Why are they taking his ashes to Santiago? What are ashes? Are you sure he died, mommy?"
These are just some of the questions my four-year-old daughter has been asking me over the last few days after the passing of Fidel Castro. And as I answered them, I realized that Fidel was my daughter's introduction to death.
For the last five days, it has remained as quiet as it was on early Saturday morning, when I learned of Fidel's death. I found out when I checked my phone and found a text message from a friend overseas. The kids were already stirring when I woke up my husband, and the four of us huddled in front of our old television with a fuzzy signal. The Cuban media had begun reporting it in the middle of the night, and through the early mourning hours, repeated the announcement made by Fidel's brother Raul, dressed in his usual public uniform of beige military garb.
We didn't think we would be here in Cuba when it happened. Though he had long given up making public appearances, Fidel made his presence known to us through editorials that appeared in the one state-owned newspaper Granma. Though some debated whether he was actually the writer, the long-winded nature of these pieces and the flowery language he used seemed to fit with his style. When various heads of state from Cuba's allies visited, a picture of a frail Fidel posing with the VIP would appear in the paper the next day. Over the summer, he made a surprise appearance at a private show to celebrate his 90th birthday, and that, too, made it into the papers. He had become a constant in our lives, like he was to the rest of Cuba -- someone who was there, a fixture of this island as his life steadily ticked on, defying so many people's predictions.
Over the last few days I've been trying to figure out how to explain everything to my children, and how much to say, But my immediate thoughts after I learned of the death were purely logistical. Nine days of national mourning were announced on the television. Would all businesses be closed? What did that mean for our children's schools and my husband's job? Would we be able to find eggs and milk?
Though it's been calm throughout Cuba, trying to organize our lives has been a challenge. Just a couple of weeks ago, before Fidel's death, the Cuban government had announced a new impromptu holiday on December 2, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of a date important to the Cuban Revolution. With his death, the holiday was cancelled. My husband would report to his job as usual. Our daughter's private school deliberated most of the weekend and sent a message saying that it would be open all week, following suit with other Cuban businesses and schools. But then on Monday, it was announced that nearly everything would close on Tuesday to make way for an enormous rally in the Plaza of the Revolution, attended by the leaders of various countries who were fond of Fidel, including South Africa, Venezuela, and Ecuador.
Aside from the interruption on Tuesday, It turns out that most of daily life remains the same. I even got eggs from our local bodega. The one big and glaring interruption to daily life is that bars and nightclubs are closed, because the nine-day mourning period means that no one is supposed to engaged in revelry. The sale of alcohol is officially banned. So is the playing of music in public, which accounts for the eery quiet in our neighborhood. All we hear these days are the chirping of birds and the incessant barking of our neighbors' dogs (apparently they didn't get the memo that Fidel had died).
But, like with everything, people know how to get around these restrictions. We have been able to get mojitos and beers from at least a couple of different private establishments we visited. A friend of ours had a birthday this week and we'd planned to go out for a night of music; we instead had an impromptu surprise party in our home and were mindful to keep the volume low on the music. Still, when the doorbell rang halfway into the party, the thought crossed our mind that it might be the police. After all, we'd heard stories from friends that police have confiscated stereos from families who were throwing parties and had the music a few decibels too loud. Fortunately, it was just some late arriving friends.
My good friend's birthday was the highlight in what has been a depressing week. I could not imagine engaging in the revelry that was happening across the Florida Straits in Miami. To celebrate a person's death -- no matter who it is -- is wrong. I have been saddened, frustrated, and angry this week, like many Cubans. What has struck me about this particular time is that it has been difficult for Cubans, but in a multitude of ways, some expected and others unexpected. I'll be able to explain all of this to my daughter and others one day, but only when the time and place are right.

Why have a park and a phone and a stupid hipster photo app if you can't use them to capture moments of great import? HMMMMM????????
What I like best is the way it looks like SarahB and Esther are looping in dialogue for the boaters. Jesus Christ, we saw some dummies out there. Free tip to prospective rowers: the bow goes first.

10 Tips for Engine Survival
10 Tips for Engine Survival
by Don Terrill © - RacingSecrets.com
1.) Less RPM - This is the number one killer of an engine. If you can make enough power at a lower RPM you should do it. Don't forget missed shifts, now that's a real killer.
2.) Optimal Coolant Temp - Both running an engine under power with too much water temp and too little temp can be harmful. High temps are the worst, with blown head gaskets one of the first signs of trouble. I'd say between 160' and 210' is best, never over 240'.
3.) Optimal Oil Temp - Low oil temp lowers oil flow. Higher oil temp breaks down the oil and gives way to the chance of metal parts coming into contact. Drag Racers usually race with the oil temp too low and stock car racers too high. Try to get near 200'.
4.) Less Compression - I'm a real fan of less compression. If you don't need the extra power then there's no need having the engine on melt down. If you're in a competitive class then you have no choice. I'd keep it under 12 if you don't need the power.
5.) Proper Ignition Timing - Too much timing leads to pre-ignition, which is like hitting the piston with a sledge hammer. Too little timing can lead to extremely hot exhaust valves. What happens if an exhaust gets too hot? The head eventually falls off. The only way to know the right timing is by dyno testing, track testing or reading the spark plugs.
6.) Tighter Lash - The weakest link in most engines today is the valvetrain and nothing kills it faster than too much lash. Just adding .010" of lash can double the force on the valves. The only negatives to tight lash is usually less torque and the chance of holding the valve open if you go too far. Consult your cam maker for a usable range.
7.) Optimal Oil Level - You probably think I'm going to say too low is the problem, well if someone is going to make a mistake on oil level, 90% of the time it's going to be too high. Too much oil can lead to the crank and rods whipping it up and adding air -- not good. Most applications are very safe at 6qts.
8.) Proper A/F Ratio - Too rich a mixture can cause problems, for example carbon build up and washing the cylinders down. The real risk is from too lean a mixture. Just like ignition timing the only way to know the right mixture is by dyno testing, track testing or reading the spark plugs.
9.) Proper Clearances - Rod bearing clearance, main bearing clearance, piston to wall clearance, lash, etc., all are extremely important. You'd be shocked to know how few engine builders know exactly what these specs are. My advice, buy the tools and learn how to assemble your own engine.
10.) Proper Startup - I can't tell you how many times I've seen this, someone starts their racecar completely cold and proceeds to rev the engine between idle and 7000 RPM. All engines need time to warm up. Better yet, how about oil and coolant heaters?

I threw a little party on our rooftop to celebrate my 25th birthday last week. I decided it would be a challenge to cook for 20+ people and bring everything up 5 flights of stairs, so we ordered pizzas, and instead of cooking all day, I had time to bake a cake. What a relief. I was having a ball baking in the kitchen that morning, music turned up, and took some photos throughout the process.
That night when we were about to eat it, I realized I never got a shot of the finished cake and couldn't help feeling a little sad (I don't bake often, and this cake turned out better than I expected). How I got so many shots of the process and forgot to snap one at the end slightly blows my mind. After I went through the photos though, I realized the process of frosting, slicing berries, and layering was just as beautiful as the finished product.
It was a good reminder. The messy, non-perfect experience of getting somewhere is often more beautiful and memorable than the destination (that's my 25 year old wisdom speaking).

Hope you all had a great Xmas
We still need marshals and helpers for the New Years 10k so if so if you are not able to run your support would be greatly appreciated. There are a large variety of tasks that need doing on the morning of the race and the more help we can get the easier it will be for everyone.
We will obviously be monitoring the conditions and providing updates if flooding is likely to be an issue. As last year the race will continue even if the towpath is flooded as we have a contingency course which starts and finishes of the Great Western Way. Short of the the Rowing Club House flooding the race will stlll go ahead.

BJ Papas may be the most legendary photographer of NYHC. Pretty cool considering the bad rap hardcore has always gotten for the lack of female involvement. Seemingly elusive and interview-shy despite still photographing bands and being connected to the scene which she grew up in, we were psyched as hell to be able to chat with her. Thanks BJ! -DCXX
How, when, and why did you get into hardcore?
I love the music! I grew up in Woodstock, NY. I would go to the local record store, "The Collector," and purchase punk rock records. When I moved to NYC to go college in 1984, I was able to go to shows because there weren't any in Woodstock (Punk Rock, Hardcore and Metal etc.)! It was a great escape from the world. I hated school so going to shows and skateboarding is what got me through it.
What was your photography background before taking photos of bands and Packed NYC clubs?
I took photography classes in high school. I didn't like school, and art classes were the only classes I could deal with. I loved processing my negatives and working in the darkroom making prints. I hated school but I loved NYC and I had to figure out how to move there. I figured if I went to college there, I would not only get out of my parents's house and Woodstock, but also get to be in NYC. So, I choose a cheap school, with only a 2-year degree, The Fashion Institute of Technology. I did graduate with an associate's degree in photography.
How did you feel being not just a girl in a mid 80s hardcore scene, but a girl prominently on stage with a camera?
I was a tomboy and most of my friends were guys. I never really thought about it until I started to sell my photos. BJ is the initials of my full name, so everyone assumed I was a male. They sounded shocked when they heard my voice on the phone. As much as I hated my name, it actually helped me out. I can't imagine getting hired to shoot those bands with a girly name.
Who were your closest friends within the scene?
My closest friends in the scene were the "Alleyway Crew"/Sick Of It All, Rest In Pieces, Bad Brains, Leeway, Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags, Murphy's Law, Warzone, Token Entry, Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today, Straight Ahead, Nausea, Big Charlie, Brendan, Alexa, Gwyn and more.
Who were your favorite bands as a fan from the mid to late 80s hardcore scene?
Bad Brains, Agnostic front, Cro-Mags, Sick of it All, Leeway, and Murphy's Law.
Who were your favorite hardcore bands to photograph, and why?
My favorite bands to photograph were very energetic and interesting on stage. Bad Brains...HR did back flips! Sick Of It All were constantly moving and jumping. Leeway, Eddie moved around a lot and jumped off speakers. Murphy's Law was always full of fun.
A packed CBGB dance floor at a 1987 hardcore matinee put out some unbelievable energy. Do you remember wanting to capture specific people dancing or stage diving? If so, who are those people?
I wish I photographed the stage diving, it is what everyone asks me for. I rarely photographed the dancing, I mostly shot the bands. I couldn't afford to shoot film on the crowd. The few stage diving shots I have were of my friends or when I was hired to shoot the crowd.
Are there any specific photos (which you took) that you automatically think of when the phrase "New York Hardcore" is brought up?
I just think of the photo used on The Way It Is record cover. I guess because the album was titled NYC Hardcore, even though it was taken in Connecticut.
Did you know when you got it developed that it was just a classic, timeless photo? What do you remember about it that photo and the show?
Well, I was never happy with any of the photographs I took. Most of my photos that you see were chosen by someone else. I don't remember much at all about the show, but I have been to over a thousand shows and shot at least 3 thousand rolls of film. I think Jordan had asked me for some stage diving photos for an album. I am not sure if this was all I had or if he picked it out of the contact sheet. I think I found out it was the cover when Jordan asked if he could use it. To me, it looked better as a record cover than on my contact sheet. But ultimately, I think the photo summed up NYHC because of all the NY hardcore kids in it, even if it wasn't in New York. Just now while looking at it I noticed Ray Bees (Warzone) was in it! Ray Cappo (Youth of Today), Matt (Crippled Youth/Bold), Gus Pena, and of course Civ and Arthur (GB).
In that pre-internet time period, the first place you would see your photos pop up was in a fanzine. Were there any fanzines you specifically looked forward to and truly enjoyed seeing your photos in from back then or even over the years?
Hmmmm, I can't really remember the names. Some of the more recent ones I liked were "the village noize" and "Schism." There was a small one, it was the 1/4 size of an 8 1/2 x 11 page. But I can't remember what it was called. Sorry, I have the worst memory.
Any good stories involving broken cameras or injury from people stage diving, flying guitars, or kids getting on stage?
My camera sure did break often, but there weren't any good stories about the amount or cost of those repairs. There was always stage diving stories at every show, but there are too many to list. I did break my wrist at an Agnostic Front show though. It was a Rock Hotel show that I wasn't photographing. I had just graduated college and was there for fun. Jimmy G was on stage he was flinging me off. He took me by the arm and leg and swung me into the crowd...I could get a lot farther that way. I am not sure what happened next except I met my longtime friend Brian Friedman because of it. He got me some ice for my wrist and took care of me. It hurt a lot so I asked Big Charlie to take a look at it. He said it was fine, so I didn't worry about it. I spent the night at a friend's and went to a matinee at CB's the next day. My wrist hurt and it was hard to take photos. I just used my arm to rest the camera on so I could shoot. I had Charlie look at it again and he was shocked how bad it looked. He said it was definitely broken! My friend drove me home to my Mom's in Woodstock two hours away, and my Mom took me to the hospital. My wrist was broken and too swollen for a cast. We had to go back the next day. All my mom did was just laugh.

BJ Papas - NYHC Photographer
3 comments:
taking a sick day off work while i'm not sick...just sick of work. and apparently i'm going to spend the day reading this site completely.
great interview...BJ's pictures literally transported me to another world for a few years of my life and the way she captured the NY scene makes me almost feel a little embaressed when i think about how much myself and friends would try to recreate some of the images she captured, in our small town scene that was so far away from the original source material...but another part of me would like to say a big thanks to her for capturing it so well that that whole era/scene became a template for straight edge hardcore scenes around the world...she made it look like so much fun and so exciting.
so my great thanks to BJ and i hope your life is as fun now as it obviously was back then....

I last spoke at length with BJ a few years ago when I was going to write a piece on her humble beginnings for a magazine. She used to live 2 blocks from me for a couple of years and I loved hanging out with her all the time. She was and still is one of the coolest girls you will ever meet.
Miss you, Betty Joy!
