GOOD NEIGHBORS Flavors of France and Italy combine in the pasta dish La Fontaine d’ete.

HE BETTER-BEER scene continues its ascent in the South Bay with Steins Beer Garden & Restaurant in downtown Mountain View set to open March 28. There will be wine and cocktails, but A FONTAINE owner and chef Hasan Yildiz knows the primary focus will be on high-quality beers.

As at Vaso Azzuro, Yildiz focuses which he experienced during his travels throughout Europe’s premier on Northern Italian cuisine at his new Mountain View restaurant, La Fontaine, beer cities. Designed by architect Marc Dimalanta, Steins features a 300but mixes it up a little by adding French dishes to the menu. seat, 8,000-square-foot domed interior room and a 4,000-square-foot The simple, white-tablecloth elegance of La Fontaine, ensconced in a small outdoor patio. building along Castro Street, struck me as almost a throwback to a time before Ted, with his contagious positive energy, says that he can’t wait casual-upscale became the norm. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, for folks to check out the “in-your-face, custom-made walk-in cooler” and the food was served quite promptly despite a busy night. next to the main bar. Guests can gaze at the unique direct-draw draft The French and Italian offerings by and large don’t overlap. The dishes stick system—the tap handles are connected to the kegs, eliminating draft to tradition, the Italian more so, which makes sense given Yildiz’s intimate lines and helping to keep the beer at the highest quality and freshness history with the food. The French dishes stray a little more from their original levels. Having 30 draft beers is a manageable number for staff, Ted says: inspiration, but still retain the essence of the classic dishes. “I want them to know exactly what we’re serving. I want to be able to I started with the eggplant gratin.

The food will have a local, farm-to-table emphasis according to chef I also ordered the carpaccio parma appetizer ($8.95). The subtle, light flavors Reade, and everything will be made in-house, including breads and of thin slices of uncooked filet mignon are offset by the heavy tanginess of pretzels. Because of the generous kitchen space, there will also be inhorseradish, capers and a whole lot of arugula. house charcuterie, butchery and pickling programs. “We want to make For an entree, I looked to the French side of the menu for the coq au vin, food as fresh as the beer is,” says Reade, who embraces beer’s versatility in for $17, a wine-braised chicken stew. La Fontaine serves theirs over a bed of food pairing. noodles. The chicken was stuffed with a healthy dose of oregano and thyme, Some examples from the tidy menu of 25 items include pork belly and the creamy sauce was not unlike that of beef stroganoff, which isn’t a bad thing, though I could have used a little less thyme in the chicken. The La Fontaine d’ete ($14), an in-house original, features thick pappardelle pasta, tossed with olive oil, arugula, cherry tomatoes and bacon. The bacon was thick-cut and was the primary source of flavor. The dessert menu skews Italian. I opted for the panna cotta, for $7.95, which had a creamy vanilla custard flavor, and was topped with a sweetened berry sauce and a handful of berries. Also for $7.95, I tried their dessert special, which they called the “Terrifying Tiramisu.” It is a tiramisu gelato with chocolate shavings on top. It’s served with a shot of rum and an orange slice—the booze is meant to be poured on top at the diner’s discretion. It was an atypically playful menu item, compared to the rest of the more traditional, sophisticated food offerings. —Aaron Carnes LA FONTAINE 186 Castro St., Mountain View. 650.968.2300

SV DINING

Coffee at the new Dolcetto Café and Market will be served in a ceramic cup, not a paper one, arriving on a tray with a little chocolate on the side for nibbling, a water glass, and a silver container of cream and sugars. Such little details should encourage guests to slow down and enjoy the moment. And in the land of fast-casual food, drive-thru coffee shops and online delivery, perhaps a new Italian-style café can help bring a refreshing pause to dining habits often governed by convenience and agendas. Dolcetto’s owners, Laura Mills and Edie Givens, were both working in hightech when they connected over a love for Italy—and its relaxed dining culture. They conducted research over a period of four years, studying 20-30 cafes in Italy, as well as stateside specialty markets/cafes such as DeLaurenti in Seattle and Eataly in New York. The cafe, decorated in warm shades of terra cotta, gold and white, includes further nods to Italy with Carrera marble tables, an Art Deco Murano glass chandelier and a mural of a woman on a Vespa scooter. “When you walk in the café, we want you to feel like you’ve been transported to a café in Italy,” Givens says. Sandwiches are made with fresh baguettes, lightly layered with meat and drizzled with olive oil. Paninis include choices such as tres fromaggio with brie, fontina and gorgonzola. Breakfast offerings include pastries, frittata or panini with eggs and Fra Mani ham. Dolcetto’s market will stock imported olive oils, vinegars, dry pasta and Italian wines from family-owned vineyards. Dolcetto Café and Market, 1399 Lincoln Ave., San Jose, plans to open at the beginning of December. dolcettocafeandmarket.com—Kristine Bautista Little Cheese Shoppe, one of the first retail-focused spaces in downtown San Jose’s San Pedro Square Market, closed in mid-October. The shop, which opened in the summer of 2012, sold a selection of artisan cheeses and accompaniments such as olives, crackers and honey, and also served soups, charcuterie and sandwiches. Owner Courtney Vazquez brought in cheese-makers for meet-and-greets and hosted wine tastings. Recently, she says the vision of San Pedro Square Market began to shift, with more of a focus on eateries without a retail component. “My business doesn’t fit this current environment,” she says. Vazquez is working with J. Lohr and Testarossa wineries to offer wine and cheese pairing workshops. And opening another shop in the future is not out of the question. “I have a lot of people who are contacting me who want to see this concept stay alive in the South Bay,” she says. ”We're going to investigate all of our options and just move forward in a positive fashion, looking forward to what tomorrow may bring.” For more info, visit littlecheeseshoppe.com. —Nick Rivelli Share tips about the latest in food news with kbautista@metronews.com

EYES OF GOD The maize god watches over an unveiling ceremony that included performers from Movimiento Cosmico.

Maize in SJ A TABLEAU that draws on the historic and the divine was revealed last week in downtown San Jose at the intersection of Empire and Tenth streets. A crowd gathered next to San Jose's Guadalajara Restaurant on Nov. 1 for the unveiling of the new mural “La Gran Cultura Resonance,” a product of the Empire Seven Studios’ Mural Project. The piece, which runs the length of the building, has a trompe l'oeil aspect, with large painted blocks surrounding a massive portrait of the Mayan maize god. Dancers from Movimiento Cosmico performed an Aztec dance ceremony at the unveiling. “I took Mayan, Aztec and Toltec influences to capture that bold elegance you really see in Meso-American art,” says Jesus “La Gran Cultura Rodriguez, the lead designer for the mural. Resonance” A latticework of blocks and ridges, lined in Guadalajara Restaurant, soft colors that give them dimension, draw the Empire and Tenth streets, eye to the central portrait of the Maize god, a San Jose. major deity in Mayan culture. The mural offers an interpretation of a Mayan legend that describes how corn, a staple food, was given to the Mayan civilization. “La Gran Cultura Resonance” is result of 12 weeks of preparation, and numerous tweaks to the design. The artists have incorporated the rigidity of historic art with the spontaneous conceptualizing of street art. And the piece brings color to what had been underwhelming intersection. This is the fifth installment of Empire Seven Studio’s Mural Project, which seeks to provide a forum for public art in San Jose. “I want to give back and feel a sense of community,” says Juan Carlos Araujo, co-owner of Empire Seven Studios. The hand-painted mural is the design of lead artist Rodriguez, but the actual creation of the piece was a collaborative effort among local artists William Moran (E7S project manager/muralist), Abel Gonzalez, John Barrick, Ivan Gonzalez, Emilio Gallegos and Tamiko Rast. Some of the collaborators were present for the unveiling, including Abel Gonzalez, a local artist who is slated to paint the next work for the Empire Seven Mural Project. —Tad Malone

STREET SCENE WäDL, a.k.a. Patrick Hofmeister, spent a year creating the complex components of the large-scale piece he’s showing at ‘Spiral: Art of the Street.’

Fly on the Wall PATRICK HOFMEISTER has a freezer full of bugs. His mom sends them to him from Arkansas. “They stink by the time they get here,” he says. But some creepy entomological obsession it is not. Hofmeister, who goes by the artist name WäDL, is interested in the bugs’ intricacies, their super fine details and patterns. Four hexagonal honeycomb canvases covered in bug images are among the pieces Hofmeister is showing in “Spiral: Art of the Street” at the Triton Museum in Santa Clara. “Spiral” is a group show with Jason Adams, Pez and Nicole Repack, a.k.a. Jocelyn Superstar. All four artists share an origin in street art. Pez “still gets up” often, Hofmeister tells me, meaning he’s still an active bomber and street artist in San Francisco. Hence, he was particular about his anonymity. Hofmeister himself began as a street artist, but has now moved on to studio work exclusively. Although, to hear him tell it, graffiti was never a strong suit.

Spiral: Art of the Street Thru Nov 17 Triton Museum of Art, Santa Clara

tritonmuseum.org “At 17 I got back into art because of graffiti,” he recalls. “From 17 to 20 I was partying a lot.” The graffiti on the walls at warehouse raves back then caught his eye. When asked what the best piece he ever threw up was, he laughs and says, “I was awful at graf. When I sat in my room doing stuff I got good.” At 20, Hofmeister became homeless and eventually wound up in a program at the Bill Wilson Center. The center bought him his first paint set, and there, he tried to stay out of trouble by staying in his room, teaching himself how to paint. Since middle school, drawing intricate patterns has focused his mind. Now, he incorporates those patterns into his art. The four hexagonal patterned canvases make up only a small part of his piece of the exhibition. In the center of a curving wall at the Triton sits a huge, detailed painting on plywood, around it exploding rays of black and gray patterned wood. This large-scale piece is one of two works that have taken a year to finish. It’s a globe burning, curled about by branches/tentacles and flying prisms. In the center there’s a kind of layered cocoon, a shape that started out as a “grenade looking thing” then “a wasp’s ass.” Hofmeister paints over and over again, starting with a vague notion and exploring til the painting comes out the way it was meant to be. “For me it’s about self-exploration. I can only do that through art. It’s like therapy,” he says. “You know maybe you have a bad day and you go out and hit the spot. What people see is the product of a moment. There’s so many things that've happened to me in these pieces.”—Stephen Layton

CONCERT

GOING SOLOS Aaron Ross and Spencer Seim, who met when Hella expanded its lineup, branched out with their own side project, Solos.

Hella New Band Sacramento math rock duo Hella earned a devoted, cult fanbase for its loose, but highly technical and mostly instrumental tunes. Yet in 2007, the pair behind Hella, guitarist Spencer Seim and drummer Zach Hill, temporarily changed up their duo’s intimate dynamic, expanding into a five-piece ensemble, complete with a lead vocalist, Aaron Ross. Seim was particularly impressed with Ross, so much so that the two started a side project in 2010, originally called Amaranth, and later changed to Solos. For this venture Seim hopped on the drums, with Ross playing guitar. Solos “When we started it, we knew we really wanted to make an album,” Seim says. “That was the goal of the band. We didn’t think we’d be touring necessarily. Honestly Aaron and I just got together to write some songs.” The demos eventually evolved into the full-length, Beast Of Both Worlds, which they released last year on Joyful Noise Records.

Café Stritch, San Jose Wed, 8pm, Free

While making the album, they had no budget and no commitment from a label, yet managed to create a stunning, sonically consuming professional album. On songs like the mid-tempo rocker “All My Tribulations,” through the thickness of the distorted guitars and the reverb-rich drum tones one can hear shades of The Who at Shea Stadium. To create such a big sound, the pair not only borrowed a bunch of expensive equipment from friends, but they also enlisted producer Guy Massey (Spiritualized, Radiohead, the Divine Comedy) who agreed to work on the album for a significantly reduced fee. Massey’s skill is exemplified by songs like “Carpe Diem”—with natural ease, he links a synchronized guitar and drum verse with a traditional rock bridge and rhythmically jagged chorus. The connective tissue is his well-rounded mix and subtle texturing, much like his work on Spiritualized’s Let It Come Down. “Making a record like this is something I’ve wanted to do since I started playing music. I’ve gone to the studios and made a lot of recordings that I like, but to have somebody behind you that you really respect, and have the outcome be this big, bold sonic expression—it just worked out perfectly,” Seim says. Solos’ songs are big and powerful, nuanced rock anthems, with elements of classic, prog and space rock. Some hints of Hella’s math rock influences are still evident, too, as on album closer “They Don't Care About Us.” The song starts out as postpunk, heavy rock and descends into an amalgam of complex, irregular rhythms and otherworldly synth sounds. “Hella was way more freeform,” Seim says. “We would change tempos like crazy, and go around through all these different things. With this band, we really try to relax and to make stuff feel slower than it actually is. It’s a totally different approach. It’s refreshing. It’s what I’m into right now.”—Aaron Carnes

THE STRAIGHT DOPE

By CECIL ADAMS

CECIL@METRONEWS.COM I've always heard that a notable number of serial killers were bed-wetters. I could never figure out what correlation there could be in any outsideof-TV-land reasoning, besides maybe crazy parents having more ammo for shaming their prepubescent killers-to-be. Is there any truth to it? My neighbors have five kids, four of whom still wet the bed, and I want to get a head start on who to run the hell away from. —Angel Now, Angel. In an age of random mayhem, surely you can see the value in identifying future criminals. Let’s assume there are two million adult Americans with some history of bed-wetting (rough estimate) and 100 serial killers currently at large (very rough estimate), and that all SKs are former BWs (untrue—I’m saying let’s assume). That would mean the little pack of misfits next door, if they don’t grow out of it, collectively would have a 1 in 5,000 chance of producing the next John Wayne Gacy. True, if you’re working in the PreCrime division in Minority Report, or even just writing papers for the criminology journals, that hardly qualifies as pinpoint accuracy. But at least we’d have narrowed it down. Or we would if there were any basis for the claimed correlation. However, despite the fact that the idea has been kicking around in academia for more than 70 years and has now become entrenched popular belief, odds are it’s complete crap. Bed-wetting has often been linked to antisocial tendencies, mostly as part of an unholy triad of behavioral disorders: enuresis (bed-wetting), fire-setting, and animal abuse. Drawing a connection between urination and fire goes back at least to Jonathan Swift and in modern times got a boost from Freud: “It is as if primitive man had had the impulse when he came in contact with fire, to gratify an infantile pleasure . . . and put it out with a stream of urine . . . [representing] a sexual act with a man, an enjoyment of masculine potency in homosexual rivalry,” he wrote in 1930. Others took this notion and ran with it. A 1940 paper linked bed-wetting with fire-setting and cruelty to animals. In 1963 psychologist John Macdonald tied all three to those making homicidal threats, in the process lending his name to the supposed correlation, now often called the “Macdonald triad.” In a 1986 book Macdonald upped the ante, saying those with the triad plus messed-up parents "figure prominently in the ranks of serial murderers," a notion elaborated on by later researchers. Evidence for the triad’s predictive power has always been thin. MacDonald provided no data in his 1963 paper and

in a later followup concluded the triad didn’t reliably predict homicide. The most commonly-cited empirical support for the triad comes mostly from a 1966 study by Daniel Hellman and Nathan Blackman. They found that of 31 prison inmates convicted of violent crimes, 45 percent exhibited the triad and 74 percent showed at least one of the three behaviors, much higher than for nonviolent criminals. In particular, 68 percent of the violent criminals had been bed-wetters versus 28 percent of a group of nonviolent criminals. That’s interesting, but we’re only talking about a few dozen subjects. What’s more, from the case studies it’s apparent the violent criminals had so many other bad things going on (abusive parents, personality disorders, mental problems) that it’s difficult to see why you’d attach any great significance to bed-wetting, or to the triad generally. Nonetheless, Hellman and Blackman proposed the triad as a “pathognomonic sign”—when you saw it in a kid, it was a cinch they’d grow up to be trouble. That conjecture subsequently hardened into the conventional wisdom, not just in the mind of the public fed the usual baloney by Hollywood, but among professionals in the field. It was left to a criminology grad student writing a master’s thesis to make the case that the triad was an urban legend. In her 2009 paper, Kori Ryan pointed out that: “The limited empirical research that does exist is not sufficient to support the contention that [the triad] portend[s] later violence,” much less serial murder. The same could be said of bed-wetting specifically, and Ryan suggests recent researchers haven’t taken it too seriously as a presager of bad things—and really, why should they? Chronic fire-setting and animal cruelty are deliberate antisocial behaviors. Bed-wetting on the other hand is involuntary, and plainly was included in the triad mostly because of half-baked psychoanalytic notions. It’s also fairly common, affecting something like 1 to 2 percent of those 15 or older, the vast majority of whom aren’t criminals. To suggest it’s a sign of a future serial killer— excuse me, that’s just wrong.

WIN FREE STUFF!

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): I’m not a big fan of fear.

It gets far more attention than it deserves. The media and entertainment industries practically worship it, and many of us allow ourselves to be riddled with toxic amounts of the stuff. Having said that, though, I do want to put in a good word for fear. Now and then, it keeps us from doing stupid things. It prods us to be wiser and act with more integrity. It forces us to see the truth when we might prefer to wallow in delusion. Now is one of those times for you, Aries. Thank your fear for helping to wake you up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Poetry might be

defined as the clear expression of mixed feelings,” wrote W.H. Auden. If that’s true, then your job is to be a poet right now. You seem to be awash in a hubbub of paradoxical inclinations, complete with conflicting desires and mismatched truths. There’s no shame or blame in that. But you do have a responsibility to communicate your complexity with honesty and precision. If you can manage that, people will treat you with affection and give you extra slack. They might even thank you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What can you do to

improve your flow? Are there obstructions in your environment that keep you from having a more fluidic rhythm? Do you harbor negative beliefs that make it harder for life to bestow its natural blessings on you? Now is the time to take care of glitches like these, Gemini. You have more power than usual to eliminate constrictions and dissolve fixations. Your intuition will be strong when you use it to drum up graceful luck for your personal use. Be aggressive. Be bold. Be lyrical. It’s high time for you to slip into a smooth groove.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the beginning of his novel The White Castle, Orhan Pamuk offers this meditation: “To imagine that a person who intrigues us has access to a way of life unknown and all the more attractive for its mystery, to believe that we will begin to live only through the love of that person—what else is this but the birth of great passion?” How do you respond to this provocative statement, Cancerian? Here are my thoughts: On the one hand, maybe it’s not healthy for you to fantasize that a special someone can give you what you can’t give yourself. On the other hand, believing this is true may inspire you to take an intriguing risk that would catalyze invigorating transformations. Which is it? Now is a good time to ruminate on these matters. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Canadians Tommy Larkin and Stephen Goosney are biological brothers, but they were adopted by different families when they were young. They lost touch for almost 30 years. Once they began looking for each other, it didn’t take long to be reunited. Nor did they have to travel far to celebrate. It turns out that they were living across the street from each other in the same small town in Newfoundland. I foresee a metaphorically similar experience in your future, Leo. When you get reconnected to your past, you will find that it has been closer than you realized. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This will be an excellent

week for you to talk with yourself—or rather, with yourselves. I’m envisioning in-depth conversations between your inner saint and your inner evil twin … between the hard worker and the lover of creature comforts … between the eager-to-please servant of the greater good and the self-sufficient smartie who’s dedicated to personal success. I think that in at least some of these confabs, you should speak every word out loud. You should gesture with your hands and express colorful body language. It’s prime time for your different sub-personalities to get to know each other better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the coming week you will probably have more luck than usual if you play keno, craps, blackjack, bingo, or roulette. People who owe you money will be inclined to pay you back, so you might want to give them a nudge. I won’t be surprised if you find a $20 bill lying on the sidewalk or if a store cashier accidentally gives you way too much change. In the wake of these tendencies, your main assignment is to be alert for opportunities to increase your cash flow. For example, if you wake up in the middle of the night with an idea for boosting your financial fortunes, I hope you will have a pen and notebook by the bed to write it down.

By ROB BREZSNY week of November 6

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Not for all the whiskey in heaven,” begins a poem by Charles Bernstein. “Not for all the flies in Vermont. Not for all the tears in the basement. Not for a million trips to Mars. Not for all the fire in hell. Not for all the blue in the sky.” Can you guess what he’s driving at? Those are the things he will gladly do without in order to serve his passion. “No, never, I’ll never stop loving you,” he concludes. According to my understanding of your astrological cycle, Scorpio, now is a good time for you to make a comparable pledge. What is the one passion you promise to devote yourself to above all others? And what are you willing to live without in order to focus on that passion? Be extravagant, pure, wild, and explicit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Dmitri Razumikhin is a character in Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment. His surname is derived from the Russian word for “reason.” At one point he makes a drunken speech that includes these observations: “It’s by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! Not one single truth has ever been arrived at without people first having talked a dozen reams of nonsense, even ten dozen reams of it.” Let’s make this a centerpiece of your current strategy, Sagittarius. Just assume that in order to ferret out the core insights that will fuel your next transformations, you may need to speak and hear a lot of babble. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): At the 2013 Grammy

Awards, actor Neil Patrick Harris introduced the band Fun. this way: “As legendary gangster rap icon Katharine Hepburn once said, if you follow all the rules, you miss all the fun.” Everything about that vignette is a template for the approach you can use now with great success. You should gravitate toward festive events and convivial gatherings. Whenever possible, you should sponsor, activate, and pave the way for fun. Toward that end, it’s totally permissible for you to tell amusing stories that aren’t exactly factual and that bend the rules not quite to the breaking point.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some spiritual traditions regard the ego as a bad thing. They imply it’s the source of suffering—a chronically infected pustule that must be regularly lanced and drained. I understand this argument. The ego has probably been the single most destructive force in the history of civilization. But I also think it’s our sacred duty to redeem and rehabilitate it. After all, we often need our egos in order to get important things done. Our egos give us the confidence to push through difficulties. They motivate us to work hard to achieve our dreams. Your assignment, Aquarius, is to beautify your ego as you strengthen it. Build your self-esteem without stirring up arrogance. Love yourself brilliantly, not neurotically. Express your talents in ways that stimulate others to express their talents. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Dr. Seuss wrote his children’s books in English, but he liked to stretch the limits of his native tongue. “You’ll be surprised what there is to be found once you go beyond ’Z’ and start poking around,” he said. One of the extra letters he found out there was “yuzz,” which he used to spell the made-up word "yuzz-a-ma-tuzz." I recommend that you take after Seuss—not only in the way you speak, but also in the ways you work, play, love, dream, and seek adventure. It’s time to explore the territory beyond your comfort zone. Homework: Make two fresh promises to yourself: one that’s easy to keep and one that’s at the edge of your capacity to live up to.
