When I arrived in California, I soon learned that everyone here is conditioned to keep an emergency earthquake bag in a car or somewhere near the door. In addition to my packed bag, I keep a satellite phone in the trunk. I’m assuming that cell networks will be badly disrupted by a big earthquake — that was certainly the case when I covered the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Finding electricity might also be a problem in the days immediately after a big quake, so I’m counting on the cigarette lighters in the car to serve as a generator.

That sound colored much of Baker’s other work at the time. With ties to Boston intact, he executive produced and mixed New Edition’s “Candy Girl” in 1982, alongside Maurice Starr. Offering a lighter take on Baker’s production style, the song helped launch the careers of the five teen singers and indirectly opened the door for five more. Not bad for a shit DJ.

When the tear drainage ducts become blocked, you experience watery eyes. Wateriness may also occur when your eyes react to dust or allergens, and your eyes pump out tears to flush irritants.

A few notes before we begin: Being the BPA in a given year doesn’t mean that you’re the best producer, in whatever qualitative way one might decide these things. All-time greats like DJ Premier, Diamond D, Just Blaze, and Pete Rock—GOAT-level producers by any measure—don’t win a single year. It’s not because they’re not great. It’s that, during any given 12 months, there was always someone who edged them out, either due to volume of standout work (see DJ Quik’s astounding 1991, with four albums that paved the way for West Coast dominance to come); or to influence (in 1992, Dre delivered The Chronic—an album that gives him the prize as he faced perhaps the stiffest competition of any year on this list); or to ushering in a sound that was all of a sudden everywhere, all the time, and came to define its era (take one look at Lil Jon’s 2003 output and try not to imagine yourself in the middle of a Chappelle skit).  

Beans connected with Kanye that summer, too. The Philly spitter opened The Reason with “Nothing Like It,” which relied on a sample from the Dynamic Superiors’ “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing.” Deeper in the tracklist, ‘Ye was credited on “Gangsta, Gangsta,” a song that tipped its hat to the West Coast in title and hook, which featured Kurupt.

This annual performance produced by the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus bills itself as “the holly jolliest holiday show of the year!” The performance at Balboa Theatre features more than 200 singers, dancers, and musicians, including a bell choir and children’s choir, covering holiday staples such as “O Come All Ye Faithful” and “O Holy Night,” as well as campier modern-day classics including “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.” Guaranteed to sell out each year, this season’s tickets are already going fast at $25 to $70 apiece for shows scheduled on Saturday December 15 at 8pm, and Sunday, December 16 at 3pm.

And for the serial killer, who had grown up resentful of his mother, the idea of being part of a family "was a whole new dimension to living that I had never seen before."

The Osmo Pocket is a 4K-capable gimballed camera attached to a hand grip. It records to a microSD card (up to 256GB) and is controlled using two buttons and a small touchscreen that doubles as a viewfinder.  The camera itself is fairly similar to what you’d find in a flagship smartphone. It has a 1/2.3-inch sensor, an 80-degree field of view, and an f/2 aperture. Video performance is high-end, up to 4K at 60fps and 100Mbps data rate (although it can’t track at 4K/60fps). It can also do 4x slow-motion video at 1080p. Still photos are 12MP and take advantage of the relatively-large 1.55-micron pixel size.
