You can also order the sigara boregi à la carte ($4.95). It is made from scratch and is certainly one of their best items. It almost like a Turkish lasagna, with noodle-like pastry filling, feta cheese and parsley.

Of all the restaurants in downtown Mountain View—and there are a lot—Olympus arguably has the best location, situated at the northern end, with a large, comfortable outdoor patio. You’ll want to stay and sip Turkish tea for hours after your meal and watch people walk by without a care in the world. —Aaron Carnes OLYMPUS CAFFE & BAKERY 135 Castro St., Mountain View. 650.336.7613

Y Ask WHY? Commonwealth Club Hosts Y Combinator Graduate Forum AMMON BARTRAM says that co-founding Socialcam, a video-sharing app for iPhones and Androids, was a “crazy emotional roller coaster.” Prior to starting the business, he worked for website Justin.tv, where he was impressed by the number of young people running a company. It wasn’t long until he realized that it was something he could do.

After he and his partners started Socialcam, they applied to Y Combinator, a program designed to invest small amounts of seed money in a variety of startup companies. These companies then move to Silicon Valley and spend three months fine-tuning ideas that are pitched to investors. These investors then determine the life or death of the fledgling company.

“Access to the YC partners and speakers was great,” Bartram says, “especially for support and ideas when things were not going well, and help with specific technical and business problems.”

Y Combinator Grads Talk Thu, July 18, 6:30pm. $12 -$20 Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara

Bartram and other Y Combinator graduates will give insight into their careers and the program that gave them their starts at 7pm Thursday, at an event hosted by the Commonwealth Club at Silicon Valley Bank.

Panelists include: Jude Gomila, co-founder of Heyzap, a social network for mobile games; Bill Clerico, founder and CEO of WePay, an online payment service for small businesses; and Justin Kan, co-founder of Justin. tv, a website that allows anyone to broadcast videos online. The mediator is Peter Delevett, startups and venture capital writer for the San Jose Mercury News.—Christiana Cobb

STAGE

Fashion comes and goes, but for most people the relationship between clothing and identity endures all trends. A collection of stories about women’s clothes reveals a wealth of personal and social issues in Love, Loss and What I Wore, which opens July 19 at the San Jose Repertory Theatre. Karen Carpenter, who directed the original New York production, helms the Rep’s production.

When writers Nora and Delia Ephron adapted Ilene THE LOH DOWN Author and actress Beckerman’s book, Love, Loss and Sandra Tsing Loh appears in San Jose What I Wore, for the stage, the Rep’s ‘Love, Loss and What I Wore.’ sisters added some of their own tales of sartorial symbolism. The play uses a staged-reading format, with five actresses portraying different female characters in a series of vignettes about everything from prom dresses to gang sweaters. One character, Gingy, narrates the piece, tracing the trajectory of her life through various articles of clothing.

San Jose Rep’s cast includes actress and author Sandra Tsing Loh, who previously appeared in a 2010 production of Love, Loss and What I Wore at the Geffen Playhouse in her native Los Angeles.

“I’m doing a couple of different monologues that I did before. But I’m hopeful that I will still get to do ‘The Shirt,’ which is kind of a favorite of mine.

It’s a monologue that if you look at it on the page, it doesn’t look like much, but then when you do it, it’s quite funny,” Tsing Loh says.

Tsing Loh is writer for The Atlantic and a commentator for This American Life and NPR’s Morning Edition, and creator of a syndicated radio science show, The Loh Down on Science. Rep audiences will also know her for her one-woman shows, Aliens in America and Sugar Plum Fairy.

Tsing Loh says she’s looking forward to seeing how castmates Dawn Wells, Zuzanna Szadkowski, Dee Hoty and Ashley Austin Morris take on the various characters of Love, Loss and What I Wore.

At the Geffen Playhouse, one of the parts Tsing Loh performed was the “Gang Sweater” monologue, adopting tough tones á la actress Rosie Perez for the character.

“I’m really delighted that I think Ashley is going to do it this time. I love to hear someone else do it. There’s some fun in hearing how other people do monologues that you did.”

Tsing Loh is finishing up a book that expands upon “The Bitch Is Back,” an award-winning essay she wrote on menopause for The Atlantic. The book will be published by W.W. Norton in May 2014, and she says she’s found inspiration from Love, Loss and What I Wore to possibly bring the work to the stage in a similar format.–Heather Zimmerman

HOLED UP Imogene (Kristen Wiig) is playwright who, having apparently missed opportunity knocking, ends up moving back to her parents’ house.

Garden State AN ODD, SLIGHTLY OFF movie that’s bound to be mistaken for a bad one, Girl Most Likely is a showcase for the superb comic talents of Kristen Wiig. The plot is a favorite from the 2000-teens: a child boomeranging back to her parents’ house far from the big city, there falling in love with a younger waif (in this case the appealing Darren Criss of Glee).

Wiig’s Imogene is a has-been playwright, voted a talent to watch in 2004; she breaks down under a series of failures and ends up stranded in her mother’s living room. “You hate everything,” says her negligent, kitsch-loving mom Zelda (Annette Bening). That’s not entirely false. The cramped Jersey household drives Imogene nuts; packed in there with her is her hermit-crab worshipping brother, Ralph (Christopher Fitzgerald), and her mother’s new squeeze (Matt Dillon, terrific), an apparently insane piece of flotsam who believes himself to be a samurai.

What’s here is as brief as it is pointed, a showcase for Wiig, who gets some wellwritten, booze-impaired romance to light her up. Directors Shari Springer Bergman and Robert Pulcini (American Splendor) aren’t set afire by the surroundings— the visuals are matter of fact, and it’s only at night that the directors seem to

make the tawdry prettiness in the Jersey shore locations tangible. However, their sympathies for the underdogs are as genuine as their affection for the beachtown eccentrics.

SNL sketches tend to Girl Most Likely spin on too long, and Girl Most Likely has an PG-13; 103 min. opposite problem: stuff that could be spun out Opens Fri. (like a blood-freezing dinner in New York with a newly discovered relative) could have been expanded. But if people are said to brazen out a bad situation, Wiig’s special gift is blasé-ing out trouble.

Dead drunk, caught in a gross, whopping lie, or trying to eyeball a librarian into submission while stuffing a book down her pants, Wiig puts on a ladylike, frosty front. It may be her character’s name is a tribute to Imogene Coca, a deathless comedienne. The appearance

by Andrea Martin in a cameo seems a tribute to another flabbergastingly good comedienne the movies never could find any work for. The undertone of Girl Most Likely is the problem of comediennes in the boy’s club world of comedy; so often they’re like destitute relatives, having to go where they’re took.—Richard von Busack

My girlfriend died in a car accident four months ago, and I fear I’m not grieving the way I should. I was really broken up at first, crying hysterically, and I miss her terribly. I often think of things I wish I could tell her or we could do together, but I’m comforted by remembering all the positive things about us and her, and I’m grateful for the time we did have. Friends are worried, saying that I need to experience grief fully and work through all the stages in order to recover; otherwise, the grief could come back to bite me. I worry that I am suppressing stuff, but I have no idea what. Despite what’s happened, I still like my life and my job. I even find myself laughing at stupid stuff. Am I just in major denial? —Living Those who care about you are worried that you aren’t wallowing in pain and despair, and they’re maybe even a little suspicious: “Come on, man, who’s keeping you company if not Misery?”

Supposedly, if you really loved somebody, you’ll grieve big, long, and showy: retire from personal hygiene, refuse to leave your bed for six months, and only stop sobbing into your pillow to ask somebody to plant weeping willows so even the vegetation will be crying in solidarity. But bereavement researcher Dr. George A. Bonanno points out in his terrific book, The Other Side of Sadness, that there’s no evidence for this belief or a number of widely held beliefs about grieving, like the notion that there are “stages of grief”—five of them—that every bereaved person must go through before they can go on.

The “stages of grief” were based on psychiatrist Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’ observations of people who were themselves dying, not those who’d lost someone they loved. “Grieving over the death of a loved one is not the same as facing your own death,” Bonanno points out. He adds that Freud’s notion that the bereaved must do “grief work” to heal— slog through every one of their memories

and hopes about their lost loved one (as if sorting a mountain of wet clothes at an industrial laundry)—is unsupported by research, and there’s even evidence that this re-chewing of memories strengthens their connection to the deceased, preventing healing.

Yet another myth is that your failure to go into Scarlett O’Hara-style hysterics in the coffee room every day means you’re postponing your grieving. In fact, the idea of “delayed grief”—grief as a darkly mischievous force determined to eventually pop up and bite you—is another unsubstantiated idea from one of Freud’s psychoanalytic minions. Studies find delayed grief extremely rare, almost to the point of nonexistence. What your behavior seems to reflect is resilience— healthy coping through putting your girlfriend’s life and death in perspective in ways that help you go on with your life. In other words, if you have a problem, it’s that your friends think you have a problem.

The next time they suggest you’re grieving incorrectly, you might reassure them. Tell them you’re in the “bargaining” stage and that you’d feel much better if only they’d stock your fridge with beer and steak, and on their way out, would they mind detailing your car?

I’m a decent-looking guy with unfortunate hair. It’s thinning rapidly and receding to the back of my skull, and topical treatments barely made a difference. I’m now thinking of shaving my whole head, but I’m wondering what women think.

Considering my circumstances, what’s my best option? —Follicular Rebellion Going bald isn’t all bad. If you’re like a lot of men, every time you lose a hair off your head, you’re a hair closer to growing a ponytail out your nose. Although women generally prefer men with hair on their head, there’s a line that gets crossed, and that’s when there’s a desperate little patch on top that calls to mind a pointless attempt to grow a vegetable garden in arid countryside. Doing that doesn’t make you look like you have hair; it makes you look like you have hair issues.

Shaving your head, on the other hand, projects confidence, suggesting that you’re comfortable enough with your face and yourself to put them out there unadorned.

If you go the head-shaving route, consider adding facial hair to make it look like there’s still a little lawn on the property, balancing out the clearing on top. You could try a few styles, take pix, and poll the ladies. Who knows? It might be just the way to meet a woman who longs to run her fingers through your back hair.

Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I buy an automobile with a jet engine in it? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Steve Hunt

MUSIC

RED HOT & REVELATORY

I hear you, brother. I understand energy efficiency and all that stuff. But in Despicable Me when you see Gru tooling around in his jet-powered SUV, every red blood cell in your body screams: I want one of those.

Cars today overwhelmingly feature four-stroke gasoline or diesel internal combustion engines, with a few oddball vehicles powered by two-stroke engines, steam, or other methodology. To hear some fringe enthusiasts talk, the only reason the four-stroke engine has become so popular is due to a cabal of engineers named Otto in the pay of the piston-ring industry. The sane, however, tend to agree that four-stroke engines provide an excellent balance of power output, drivability, energy efficiency, tolerance of widely varying environmental conditions, and suitability to mass production. Plus, at least in the old days, all you needed to ďŹ x one was a well-stocked tool chest and some beer.

In contrast, strapping a jet engine to a car is something Wile E. Coyote would do. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying that like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad. The jet-powered Thrust SSC broke the sound barrier during a 1997 run in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, setting the current land vehicle speed record at 763 miles per hour. With its twin RollsRoyce jet engines, the vehicle looks like a DC-9, except with a long, pointy car in the middle instead of a plane. However, and hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see jet cars in auto showrooms, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get miles per gallon in this thing. You get 211 feet.

A few intrepid souls have successfully installed jet engines in street cars.

One example I found on the Internet was a Volkswagen Beetle using a 1,350-horsepower GE helicopter engine converted to jet use. The ďŹ&#x201A;ames shooting out the back end look impressive in the pictures, but the owner concedes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never really torqued out in the thing.

More daring were the builders of a twinjet Toyota MR2, who claim they got it up to 187 MPH during a run on the salt ďŹ&#x201A;ats.

Plenty of rocket cars have been built as well, mostly for land speed record attempts. The most extreme example surely is the Bloodhound SSC, under development by the same team that came up with the Thrust SSC. This baby will use a ďŹ ghter-jet engine and a rocket to reach 1,000 MPHâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;assuming it

11 63

doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ rst encounter a canyon wall.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simpler way to put a jet engine in your car: install a gas turbine.

To give you a little background, a simple jet engine takes in air, compresses it, and sends it to a combustor where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used to burn fuel (typically jet fuel, diesel, or kerosene). The hot exhaust gas turns a turbine that powers the compressor, and exits the rear of the jet engine at high velocity to provide thrust.

For land vehicles, you can design a jet engine so most of the energy goes into turning the turbine, which then powers a driveshaft. Gas-turbine engines have deďŹ nite advantages: fewer moving parts, a high power/weight ratio, and, believe it or not, smooth, quiet operation.

Gas-turbine cars enjoyed something of a vogue in the years after the Second World War, with inventors promising vehicles capable of 40 to 50 miles per gallon on the highway. Chrysler used its experience making aircraft engines during the war to introduce in 1963 the most popular gas-turbine car ever produced: a sedan featuring a 130-horsepower engine. At a time when people were just getting used to the idea of interstates, this was a car meant for high-speed cruising.

Only 55 Chrysler Turbines were made. They were reportedly a big hit with the 203 lucky families chosen to test-drive them from among a huge pool of volunteers. Noted car collector Jay Leno owns one and in his column for Popular Mechanics has praised its quiet engine and smooth acceleration.

Unfortunately, acceleration was also slow, one reason gas-turbine cars never made it to the mass market. In addition they were expensive, required diesel fuel rather than gasoline, and had high emissions and poor city fuel economy.

They offered a good mix of power and fuel economy under heavy load, though, and so found a niche in military vehicles such as the Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s M1 Abrams tank.

In recent times thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been some interest in using gas turbines in hybrid vehicles, with an electric motor for city driving and a turbine that charges the batteries and kicks in for full power on the highway. Sadly for Grumobile fans, should such a vehicle ever make it to market, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look like pretty much any other carâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no giant spinning turbofan, no ďŹ&#x201A;aming plume of exhaust.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SAN JOSE JAZZ SUMMER FEST BENEFIT FOR LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC PROGRAMS

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The 19th-century Italian composer Gioachino Rossini was a prolific creator who produced 39 operas. Renowned for his lyrical melodies, he was sometimes referred to as the “Italian Mozart.”

So confident was he in his abilities that he bragged he could set a laundry list to music. I trust you will have comparable aplomb in the coming weeks, Aries, since you will be asked to do the equivalent of composing an opera using a laundry list for inspiration. This will be a different challenge than making lemonade out of lemons, but it could be even more fun and interesting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Is the grass really

DRUMMING DRUMMING CONCERT CONCERT & & EXPO EXPO

greener on the other side of the fence? Or is its more vivid hue just an optical illusion caused by your inability to see the situation objectively? Judging from my analysis of your current astrological omens, I suspect that you’re not deluded. The grass really is greener.

But it’s important to note the reason why this is true, which is that there's more manure over on the other side of the fence. So your next question becomes: Are you willing to put up with more crap in order to get the benefits of the greener grass?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You know the voice in

your head that's kind of a sneaky bastard? The voice that sometimes feeds you questionable advice and unreliable theories? Well, I suspect that this voice might be extra active in the coming week. But here's the weird thing: It might actually have a sound idea or two for you to consider acting on. For once, its counsel may be based on accurate intuition. So don't completely lower your guard, Gemini. Maintain a high degree of discernment towards the sneaky bastard's pronouncements. But also be willing to consider the possibility that this generator of so much mischief could at least temporarily be a source of wisdom.

works of art in well-guarded museums. Paintings created hundreds of years ago are treated with reverence and protected as if they were magical treasures. Meanwhile, beautiful creatures that took nature eons to produce don't get the same care. At least 5,000 animal and plant species are going extinct every year, in large part due to human activities. Among the recently lost works of art are the Madeiran Large White butterfly, West African black rhinoceros, Formosan clouded leopard, golden toad, and Tecopa pupfish. I'm asking you not to allow a similar discrepancy in your own life, Cancerian. The astrological omens say that now is a perfect moment to intensify your love for the natural world. I urge you to meditate on how crucial it is to nurture your interconnectedness with all of life, not just the civilized part.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Hurry up, please. It’s time. No more waffling or procrastinating. You really need to finish up the old business that has dragged on too long. You really should come to definitive decisions about ambiguous situations, even if they show no sign of resolution. As for those nagging questions that have yielded no useful answers: I suggest you replace them with different questions. And how about those connections that have been draining your energy? Reevaluate whether they are worth trying to fix.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “This morning I walked to

the place where the street-cleaners dump the rubbish,” wrote painter Vincent van Gogh in one his letters. “My God, it was beautiful.” Was he being ironic or sarcastic?

Not at all. He was sincere. As an artist, he had trained himself to be intrigued by scenes that other people dismissed as ugly or irrelevant. His sense of wonder was fully awake. He could find meaning and even enchantment anywhere. Your next assignment, Virgo— should you choose to accept it—is to experiment with seeing the world as van Gogh did.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What’s your favorite

sin, Scorpio? I'm talking about the mischievous vice or rebel tendency or excessive behavior that has taught you a lot. It may be the case that now and then this transgressive departure from normalcy has had redeeming value, and has even generated some interesting fun. Perhaps it puts you in touch with a magic that generates important changes, even if it also exacts a toll on you. Whatever your “favorite sin” is, I’m guessing that you need to develop a more conscious and mature relationship with it. The time has come for it to evolve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Sagittarian

writer and artist William Blake (1757-1827) made drawings of many eminent people who had died before he was born. Julius Caesar was the subject of one of his portraits. Others included Dante, Shakespeare, and Moses. How did Blake manage to capture their likenesses in such great detail? He said their spirits visited him in the form of apparitions.

Really? I suppose that's possible. But it's also important to note that he had a robust and exquisite imagination. I suspect that in the coming weeks you, too, will have an exceptional ability to visualize things in your mind’s eye. Maybe not with the gaudy skill of Blake, but potent nevertheless. What would be the best use of this magic power?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): How close do you really want to be to the people you care about? I invite you to think about this with unsentimental candor.

Do you prefer there to be some distance between you? Are you secretly glad there's a buffer zone that prevents you from being too profoundly engaged? I’m not saying that's a bad thing. It might be correct for who you are right now. I merely want to suggest that it's important for you to know the exact nature of your need for intimacy. If you find that you actually do want to be closer, spend the next four weeks making that happen. Ask your precious allies to collaborate with you in going deeper.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I love your big, energetic thoughts. I enjoy watching as your wild intuitive leaps lead you to understandings that mere logic could never produce. I have benefited many times from the Aquarian tribe’s ability to see angles no one else can discern. In the immediate future, though, I hope you will be a specialist in analyzing the details and mastering mundane mysteries. I’ll be rooting for you to think small and be precise. Can you manage that? I expect there'll be a sweet reward.

You will generate good fortune for yourself by being practical, sensible, and earthy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Is it a river or a creek?

Is it a mountain or a hill? It's important for you to decide questions like these—preferably on the basis of the actual evidence rather than on wishful thinking. I’m not saying that the river is better than the creek or that the mountain is better than the hill.

I simply want you to know that it’s important to be clear about which it is. The same principle applies to other experiences you’ll soon have. Is the catalytic person you’re dealing with a temporary friend or a loyal ally? Is the creation you’re nurturing just a healthy diversion or is it potentially a pivotal element in transforming your relationship with yourself? Is the love that's blooming a transient pleasure or a powerful upgrade that’s worth working on with all your ingenuity?

Homework: Confess your deepest secrets to yourself. Say them out loud when no one but you is listening. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I believe you will undergo

a kind of graduation in the next four weeks, Libra.

Graduation from what? Maybe from a life lesson you’ve been studying for a while or from an institution that has given you all it can. Perhaps you will climax your involvement with a situation that has made big demands on you. I suspect that during this time of completion you will have major mixed feelings, ranging from sadness that a chapter of your story is coming to an end to profound gratification at how much you have grown during this chapter.
