RBF I’ve been told I’m pretty, but certainly didn’t feel that way this night. Cleaning up after work at a downtown bar, wiping tables, wearing a drink-splattered tank top, hair pulled back. Not a speck of makeup. That’s why I don’t get how you’d give me the stink-eye like I was flirting with your man or something. Trust me, I’m friendly to most patrons. It’s called customer service. I get tipped based on how well I talk up a group. But you were feeling mighty territorial, apparently, your head swiveling like a surveillance camera like I’m an intruder. A bit of friendly advice, woman to woman, relax the scowl. See, I’d think you’re pretty, too, if you snapped out of your resting bitch face.

FARM TO BOTTLE Almanac Beer Co. has released several new fruit-flavored summer brews.
Fruit the Beer
C
ORPORATE FLAVOR chemists infusing lime, strawberry and hints of cough syrup into flavorless brews have given fruit beers a bad rap. Anheuser-Busch’s ill-advised Wild Blue, released and thankfully forgotten several years ago, drew comparisons to canned blueberry pie filling and rubbing alcohol.
We can only hope the Lime-A-Rita, Straw-Ber-Rita and other abominations will soon meet their demise. Brewed well, however, a fruit beer pulls personality from whole fruits and berries. The result isn’t so much sweet or juicy as dry and fragrant. As part of its signature Farm to Barrel series, San Jose’s Alamanac Beer Co. has released several new fruit-brewed beers in time to slake our summer thirst. Each beer is made with fruit from a different California grower, then brewed and barrel-aged in small batches. “For all our barrel-aged sours, we let them get completely fermented out, “ Alamanac co-founder Jesse Friedman says. “Then we add the fruit to the barrel for six or more months. What you’re left with tends to have the character of the fruit, without all the sweetness.” FARMERS RESERVE PLUOT: Pluots, the crossbred offspring of plums and apricots, wasn’t engineered until the late ’80s. But it’s quickly become a locavore favorite in the Bay Area. Alamanac’s Farmers Reserve Pluot captures the range of color and flavor of everyone’s favorite franken-fruit. Several varieties of pluots from Blossom Bluff Orchards are added to sour blonde ale and aged in oaken wine barrels to create this mildly acidic, vanilla-backed brew. Alcohol content: 7 percent. FARMERS RESERVE BLACKBERRY: Almanac’s wine barrel-aged American wild ale takes on the sweet-tart flavor of coastal blackberries from Swanton Berry Farm in the Santa Cruz Mountain. Friedman suggests pairing this with duck or summer salad. Alcohol content: 7 percent. DOGPATCH SOUR: A tribute to Flanders Red-style beer, the Dogpatch Sour is a lightly tart ale brewed with California-sourced Rainier cherries and a blend of wild American and Belgian yeasts. Alcohol content: 7.5 percent. EMPEROR NORTON: Named after the 19th century oddball who issued his own currency and boasted of one day overthrowing the U.S. federal government, Emperor Norton is an eccentric Belgian-style ale aged with California apricots generously dry-hopped. Alcohol content: 9 percent. Available through August.—Jennifer Wadsworth ALMANAC BEER www.almanacbeer.com.

HEN THE mood strikes for Thai food, or perhaps a favorite Indian buffet, a compromise combining the best of both worlds can be found at Burma Bistro in Santa Clara.
One of just a handful of Burmese restaurants in the South Bay, the strip-mall setup, adorned with photos of temples at sunset and net ďŹ shermen, highlights a cuisine inuenced by Chinese, Indian, Bangladeshi, Laotian and Thai. My research began with the Palata and Dip ($6). Also known as paratha, this warm, tender and chewy atbread comes with a side of coconut chicken curry. Sweet and savory are well-balanced, with the coconut leading but not overpowering the dish. Palata is comfort food, equal parts rich and homey, and the portion is just large enough to satisfy without overďŹ lling. Between appetizers and entrees, the Tea Leaf Salad ($10) provides a palate refresher. It’s noted on the menu as a “national favorite dish,â€? and basically it’s a salad for people who don’t normally like salad. It’s savory, managing to taste almost meaty without actually containing any animal protein. A small quantity of shredded lettuce is tossed at the table with peanuts, dehydrated peas and beans, sesame seeds, toasted garlic and fresh tomatoes. The salad comes dressed with lime and fermented tea leaves mixed with a little ďŹ sh sauce. The beans and toasted nuts give it a satisfying crunch. With more than 20 entrees ranging from chicken to seafood, beef, vegetarian, and even goat, Burma Bistro has something for everyone. Those whose go-to is Pad Thai will love the Nan Ji Toke ($10), a warm rice noodle plate with chicken coconut curry. Raw red onions, fresh cilantro and lime add a tangy lightness to the dish, which is topped with crispy fried noodles for texture. For a heavier entree, go with Manager Zaw Naw’s favorite, the Goat Stew with Dal ($14), which comes with a side of white rice to sop up gravy-like sauce. The dish’s Indian inuences are clear, as the goat is cooked to a perfect tenderness in strong curry, and it’s served with the orange lentil dal mixed in. Crisp ginger lemonade ($3) is a good option to wash it down. Naw says business has been going well since the little restaurant opened just six weeks ago. Lunchtime brings a steady stream of customers from nearby companies, and his aunt, who started the restaurant, chose the location because she felt there was a dearth of restaurants along El Camino. “We want to spread our roots from here, ’cause there’s not that many Burmese people here,â€? Naw says. “We wanna give [customers] a taste of what Burmese food is like, so that they can see and then research our culture.â€? Burma Bistro is at once familiar and surprising, an excellent spot for those with an adventurous palate. Service is fast and friendly, portions are reasonable, and they also offer take-out (no delivery) to savor these Burmese delicacies at home.— Lindsey J. Smith BURMA BISTRO 2135 El Camino Real, Santa Clara. 408.372.5422. www.burmabistro.net.

Boomzap Clash OVER THE LAST few years, the multi-talented music collective and DJ crew known as Sonido Clash have been building a buzz with their innovative, crosscultural sounds, and energetic parties. This Friday, they return to downtown San Jose for the first night of the SubZERO Festival—hosting a tworoom dance party, led by a diverse roster of DJs, who will blend sultry, tropical sounds with hyphy, electronic and bass music.
3FTUBVSBOU t $BUFSJOH Sonido Clash vs. Return of the Boom Zap Jun 5, 9pm, $5-$10 BackBar SoFa, San Jose
17400 Monterey Road (corner of 2nd St) Morgan Hill

“Both Sonido Clash and Boomzap, are trying to represent music from an underground perspective,” says Sonido Clash founding member Thomas Aguilar, referring to his crew’s monthly parties, which have developed a reputation for their modern, dance- and hip-hop-infused spin on the traditional Latin genres of cumbia and tumbia. “This is a movement.”
Texas-based DJ duo, Santa Muerte, will be topping Sonido Clash’s SubZERO party at BackBar SoFa. Santa Muerte are veteran party rockers: members Pancho Briones (a.k.a Panchitron) and Leroy Bella (a.k.a. Sines) serve as resident DJs at one of Houston’s largest parties, Bombon. They say that their sets are an expression of the everyday mosaic of subcultures in the U.S. “We want to make an emotional dance floor,” Briones says. Santa Muerte will be spinning bass, cumbia, rap, dancehall, trap and reggaeton—and not just the same old tracks you hear on the radio. "These guys dig through the Internet for the some of the craziest samples and beats they can play.” DJ Goldenchild, Boom Zap’s manager, says—underscoring the diversity of sounds the duo draw upon. Sonido Clash’s DJs for the night will be Turbo Sonidero, Chatos 1013 and Eazy Uno. Just as their name suggests, the Sonido Clash crew is known for blending traditional Latin sounds, like cumbia, tumbia, with American hip hop, oldies and tropical tones. “We've been meticulous with what we have chosen for this," Bella says. There will be two other DJs spinning alongside Santa Muerte in the Sonido Room. Los Disco Duro will perform with old school vocoders, live timbales and synths, and Roger Mas, who holds down the Mission District’s biggest weekly Latin dance party at the Make Out Room, will also be spinning. The Clash Room will be host to DJ Eni, Dubstantial and DJ Too Tall.— Anna Bagirov

The first thing that everyone MUST know and fully understand is the federal “Supremacy Clause.” The Supremacy Clause is the provision in Article Six, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution. This establishes the Constitution, federal statutes, and treaties as the “supreme law of the land.” It provides that these are the highest form of law in the United States legal system, and mandates that all the state judges MUST follow federal law when a conflict arises between federal law and either a state Constitution or state law of any state. Question: How can any state (Colorado, Washington, Oregon & Alaska) or California in this matter establish any state law or amend the state Constitution without violating the “supreme law of the land ” known as the federal Controlled Substance Act? Answer: In our opinion...they can't! As long as federal laws like the CSA, IRS Rule 280E and federal banking laws exist NO state can lawfully legalize something that is federally illegal! The federal governmental entities may NOT prosecute or pursue the state's themselves but they've recently made it clear that they will go after organizations and individuals.
