Tucked away in Palo Alto’s Town and Country Village, Tin Pot Creamery might prove hard to find if not for the long line of customers. But the line did move quickly.

Tin Pot’s ice cream flavors aren’t completely out-there, but they are outside the traditional run-of-the-mill ice cream shop and characterized by seasonal ingredients. Some seven to nine flavors are seasonally set, while three to four flavors change, allowing for creative whims. On my venture there I was nursing a cold and tried the sweet cream with honey balsamic swirls ($3.50 for one scoop, $4 for two). It was the texture that won it for me. The spoonfuls were heavy and rich; the cold honey swirls were calming and full-bodied. Other flavors that looked enticing: their Earl Grey, Four Barrel coffee with cocoa nib toffee and roasted banana fudge ripple.

On the Wing I was excited to see two culinary factions converge—the American chicken wing and the Asian style of cookery—at LOL Chicken on East Capitol Expressway. The menu includes traditional Korean favorites and combination platters, but the distinguishing edge of LOL is its Asian-inspired wing offerings and pairings with yogurt soju, a blend of yogurt, alcohol and lemon lime soda.

The wings are tossed in sauce—options include spicy garlic and honey lemon—and served with sticks of fried rice cakes and a choice of two sides.

The restaurant has been open for about a week now. They’ve certainly placed themselves in a community hub, with East San Jose at their beck and call and Andrew Hill and Silver Creek high schools a stone’s throw away.

A New Leaf FOR THE FIRST TIME in San Jose history, a Nepalese tea visionary will set foot in a British-style tea atelier with a Japanese name, Satori. It doesn't get any more “half-Eastern, half-Western” than that, now does it? In Nepal, Parshu Dahal runs the Society Development Center (SODEC), a grassroots nonprofit striving to reduce poverty via sustainable organic agriculture and other programs. On Saturday, Sept. 7 at 11am, he will descend upon Satori Tea Company for a special and serene get-together to share stories about farmers in remote communities of the Himalayan foothills. He will discuss the impact of organic cash crops on that part of the world, and share his ongoing projects and future plans. Organic tea from Nepal will be served along with light tea treats.

Dahal helped start SODEC in 2001, attempting to address local poverty by growing and processing organic tea for the export market. Realizing that tea could grow on otherwise useless land, he organized villagers and trained them on the planting, care and harvest of tea. Now he oversees a factory, collectively owned by 155 farming families, the first of its kind in Nepal. At Satori Tea Company, he will share his visions, including a five-year project of planting organic almonds in rural Nepal and helping farmers in a new area start an income-generating industry for their future.—Gary Singh SATORI TEA COMPANY Saturday, Sep 7, 11am, Free of charge

The bowls are so big that only a single one can fit on a tray. The food looks more exotic than it tastes. The flavors are actually quite simple and satisfying.

As for the tonkotsu, I ordered that at spiciness level of 2, which was surprisingly hot.

I was sweating with each spoonful. It was worth it, though. The flavors of the hot sauce, especially when combined with the tonkotsu, were really delicious.

Shin Shin Men Men’s space is small, and the restaurant has just a couple tables. It was packed.

Divine Inspiration BRYSON BOST loves soap operas. “I like that thought that it’s kind of a wild cast of characters. ... It’s kind of a drama of sorts between everyone. Certain characters are having affairs, certain ones have a mysterious past.” But Bost’s characters are colors, not people. In his paintings, swooping globs of color overlay intricate pen patterns like those one might find in a mosque, or a distant map. “The color is really doing all the work. Then I just kind of have to go about listening to the color itself,” which tells him how to fill in the patterns, he says.

Bryson Bost When talking about his paintings Bost often casts himself as passive, and the painting—with its busy colors and characters—as active. He doesn’t feel responsible for them most of the time. “Any time like this that I get an interview or a sale, I’m absolutely surprised,” he says.

Show opens Sep 6, part of South First Fridays

Pho 69, San Jose The riotous color and shape of his paintings come as much as a surprise to anyone meeting Bost as they do to him.

Sitting in his Santa Cruz home, one might take him for a local surfer: light shaggy hair, tan, laidback.

But a local he is not. He only arrived a few months ago from Oakland, following his fiancée. Their engagement fell apart soon after the move. When asked if any paintings resulted from this time, he pointed to Light Mother Light, a triptych viewable on his website. The emotion this viewer gets from the piece is not typical following a serious break-up. It is certainly not calm, but not angry or sad either. Blue, yellow and red dashes catch the eye, and only upon further viewing do the large black splotches become apparent throughout.

Women, along with music, play large roles in Bost’s work and life. “As you can see,” he says, leading the way into his home, “this is a goddess household.” Pictures of Hindu goddesses and Christian saints adorn the walls throughout his house.

In his bedroom, a photo of his girlfriend sits on shelves that also hold pictures of Saint Theresa and the Virgin Mary. It is the approachability and nurturing of goddesses that attracts him, in contrast to the stern authority of most male deities.

Bost credits his father, an artist and writer himself, with encouraging his art through this kind of nurturing, rather than dictating his son’s style, method or even medium. For a good seven years Bost thought he was meant to be a writer.

But the five novels he wrote never received much response. When he moved on to art, the response was much more positive. “I had to surrender to the fact that you don’t get to choose what you want to do. Sometimes you have to choose what other people believe you are best at,” he says.

“You could be bitter about it or you could say, ‘Well, I guess that’s my calling. It’s just a sign.’”—Stephen Layton

AMELIE’S EVIL TWIN? Audrey Tautou is considerably less bubbly as the unhappily married title character who wonders ‘is that all there is’ in ‘Thérèse.’

La Misérable WE GET FILMS of nostalgia, or films that critique the past, but very few that do both at the same time. Thérèse is the late Claude Miller’s adaptation of Francois Mauriac’s Thérèse Desqueyroux, filmed some 50 years ago by the master poisoner Georges Franju. Then, Emmanuele (Amour) Riva was Thérèse, “an Emma Bovary who strikes back,” as Franju said at the time. There is a noticeable physical resemblance between Philippe Noiret in the Franju version and the very good Giles Lellouche, here as Thérèse’s stuffy, propertied husband Bernard, whose only indication of having a heart is his persistent angina.

work afterwards. She’s quite a not-nice female antagonist: mean, grasping, disapproving, with no interest in sex because “my head is too full of ideas.”

But this isn’t a desiccated movie; it’s more of a cold-fusion version of Bette Davis in rebellion (Beyond the Forest, with Thérèse its pines and its blazing Unrated; 110 min. kiln, comes to mind).

Opens Fri. The Catholic qualities of the source novel take a backseat to a hard, ardent feminism—the peeling yellow wallpaper in Thérèse’s cell-like room could be from the famous Charlotte Gilman story.

It’s the late 1920s. After an unspeakable honeymoon, Thérèse is impregnated.

Her discontent grows after she has a child. Her restlessness is symbolized in the images of the forests of valuable timber owned by their conjoined families, trees as dry as tinder and waiting for the spark of destruction.

Some have been dismissing Thérèse as Masterpiece Theater, and the framing is often televisionistic; it’s likely Thérèse Desqueyroux would never be popular cinematic material, even though it’s more tangy than dusty. Tautou’s precision lures you in. She’s impressive as a climber. With her impassive black eyes, bobbed hair and air of callousness, this Thérèse looks a bit like Ayn Rand. Tautou’s real skills show in the transformation, in her death-warmedover scenes close to the finale.

In the lead role, Audrey Tautou may be a bit old for the virginal early scenes, but she’s not a star because of eternal youthfulness. Tautou made the world fall in love with her first via Amelie, and then commenced more ambitious

MAKING A SCENE The Parasites came to the East Bay in time to be part of the area’s pop-punk explosion that included Green Day.

Power Pop-Punk According to Dave Parasite, his band the Parasites were one of about three poppunk bands in all New Jersey in the late ’80s. “There wasn’t even enough to have a four band pop-punk show,” he says.

Things turned around in 1992, when Parasite moved to Berkeley to be part of the bubbling pop-punk scene that would eventually give birth to Green Day. He reformed the band with all new members and jumped right into the East Bay scene like it was his hometown.

“I saw which way the wind was blowing,” Parasite says. “I moved across the country and it was the best decision I ever made for the band.”

Parasites Parasite had a label friend in Berkeley that set this new band up for him. He even booked several shows before Parasite arrived in Café Stritch, town. Right off the bat, they were playing with NOFX, the Mr. T San Jose Experience, Green Day and a bunch of other noteworthy bands.

As the scene got bigger, so did the Parasites, but they also would Thu, 11pm, suffer a backlash from the punk community when pop-punk went Free mainstream—even though they were never mainstream.

MetroGiveaways M etroGiveaways WIN FREE F R EEE STUFF! STUFF!

“When Green Day hit, we were a band that sounded like them, from the same town, it couldn’t have been better,” Parasite says. “When the punk people went against Green Day, they also went against us. That’s how it was.”

But they didn’t sound exactly like Green Day or the other East Bay pop-punk bands. Yes, they played fast, energetic pop songs, but they broke the Ramones’ three chord mold and added a lot of subtle, complex changes and structural oddities, taking elements from ’70s power-pop groups like Cheap Trick and the Beat.

“I don’t want to be a Ramones-core band,” Parasite says. “It’s like you got to move on from that. I never know what I’m playing and I actually make up weird chords I can’t find on the chord charts.”

While most of the other ’90s pop-punk bands have broken up, the Parasites have plodded along, touring and releasing material on a consistent basis. They have a total of 10 albums and 22 singles under their belt. Other than Parasite, who plays guitar and sings lead vocals, the members change frequently. Current members David Delarosa (guitar), Jason Duarte (bass) and John Perrin (drums) have all been in the band between two months and a year-and-a-half.

When the Parasites tour these days, the turnouts are hit and miss. But even at poorly attended shows, Parasite often meets at least one kid that is obsessed with the Parasites and has waited for years to see them play.

“That happens all the time. It shows that I didn’t waste my time that much,” Parasite says.—Aaron Carnes

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

unpredictable reinforcement—a guy you can’t have who occasionally surprises you by throwing you a bone of hope: telling you that he isn’t ready to give up his girlfriend but “may feel different when your divorce is final.” Sure, and the moon may grow a mustache and start orbiting your dentist’s office.

So, no, you aren’t stuck on him because it’s so darn enjoyable being with him.

It’s because he’s turned you into a lab rat frantically pushing a bar for a hit of rat chow that only sometimes comes. The way to kick the habit is to recognize this, detach, and have the self-discipline to stay detached. Send him a message that it’s over and not to contact you again, and then do everything in your power to keep that from happening: Mail your phone to a stranger in China, and hole up in an out-of-the-way motel. Of course, you could just change your number and not answer your door, but going to at least a little more effort might help reinforce that you have a new policy: No matter how handsome, amusing, and compelling a man seems, you will chase him only if he also happens to be sprinting away with your purse.

I am 18 and took a baking course at a cooking school, where I met this dreamy 19-year-old guy. We both constantly found lame excuses to be around each other, so I was fairly positive our attraction went both ways. I get that men need to show their interest by asking you out, so I flirted and flirted and waited and waited for him to ask me out, but he never did. Now the course is over, and I’m wondering what I did wrong and whether I missed out on the love of my life! —Confused Perhaps he was hoping he could get a girlfriend the way a dog gets food scraps: just wait for a woman to fall on the kitchen floor and then carry her off in his teeth. He may now be hitting himself upside the head with a wire whisk for showing all the mojo of garnish. This also may have been a situational crush—one that he couldn’t follow through on outside the test kitchen due to his having a girlfriend or even a boyfriend. Or maybe he’s just being 19. At 24, with a little more experience, he might do more than make

like a kid staring into the bakery window.

Sadly, all that matters now is what he didn’t do. But you did the right thing by not making up for a guy’s inability to squeak out a request for a date. Keep on flirting, and stop fretting that you may have “missed out on the love of (your) life!” Sure, you may have—if you’ve always dreamed of a day when you’d spot a white horse galloping toward you in the distance and, as it drew closer, see that there’s no prince, only a bag of frozen vegetables duct-taped to the saddle.

I’ve been separated from my husband for two years. (Our divorce isn’t yet final.) A terrific man sought me out when he was breaking up with his girlfriend, but then he got back together with her and said we could only be friends. We still get together at times, and he told me, “I’m just not ready to give up my girlfriend, although I may feel different when your divorce is final.” I’ve tried moving on, but whenever I get to a good place, he calls and is interested again! I normally wouldn’t allow this behavior, but I enjoy his company so much! —Crushing The fact that a man calls for you to come running isn’t necessarily reason to do it, unless you’re a golden retriever and he’s got a dirty tennis ball to throw you.

Assuming you live in North America and not a culture where marriage is a big tent filled with lots of wives, a man’s involvement with another woman should immediately disqualify him from consideration. Accepting continued contact with a downgrade to “only friends” works if you can shift the man into the friends-only slot, but it seems you can’t, and it seems that’s just how this man likes it. You’re now his ego’s girlfriend and his backup entertainment when his girlfriend’s getting her nails done.

Okay, so technically you’re not yet available, but that’s just a matter of paperwork; you aren’t romantically attached to another person. What’s keeping you stuck on this man is a psychological fishhook called “intermittent reinforcement.” When rewards for our behavior (like affection or attention we’re shown) come regularly and predictably, we relax and take them for granted. But the stuff that sods the ground for an obsession is random,

THE STRAIGHT DOPE

By CECIL ADAMS

CECIL@METRONEWS.COM

Some of my associates at work are talking about adjusting their diets based on their blood type. I was shown articles out of The Eat Right for Your Type Complete Blood Type Encyclopedia, but to me it seems like they’re concluding too much from too little. Is this nonsense, or does blood type tell about a person’s most suitable diet, disease resistance, etc? —Dan Teal, Tampa

If you think basing your diet on your blood type is out there, you haven’t heard anything yet. In Japan, where this daft business started, some people organize company work teams, segregate school classrooms, and even choose their dream date by blood type.

And if you get lucky on that date, not to worry—in Japan, vending machines sell condoms by blood type too.

The most vocal American booster of blood-type theory is Peter D’Adamo, who has written or co-written dozens of works on the subject, his magnum opus being the one you reference. His major contentions: The three most common blood types—A, B, and O—developed at different points in human evolution.

(D’Adamo’s theory is relatively quiet about type AB blood.) Type O showed up first, allegedly when we were hominids with a high-meat diet. Type A blood initially appeared among Neolithic farmers, supposedly because it increased their ability to tolerate a high-grain diet. Finally, 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, type B blood emerged—the result, somehow, of climate change and increased availability of dairy products.

The logic of why this matters is a little intricate, but here goes: (a) red blood cells of each different blood type have a characteristic mix of antigens on their surfaces; (b) antigens provoke immune responses from corresponding antibodies in the blood; (c) among these antibodies are food proteins called lectins; (d) different foods contain different types of lectins; (e) if you eat the wrong foods and thus take in the wrong lectins, said lectins will stick to your blood cells and cause them to clump together; and (f) this is bad.

Therefore, you should eat more of certain foods and shun others based on your blood type. According to D’Adamo, O types do best eating lots of meat but few grains; type A individuals should emphasize grains and vegetables; and type B should avoid grains but can load up on meat, greens, and dairy.

D’Adamo downplays the blood type = personality school of thought.

Nonetheless, he claims type O individuals are prone to bipolar disorder, whereas type A people are more likely to be obsessive-compulsive.

Holes might be picked in D’Adamo’s theory, the main one being that it doesn’t square with pretty much anything we know about evolutionary physiology. Geneticists think the blood types diverged millions, not thousands, of years ago. Type O is the most recent evolutionary mutation, not the oldest.

Which brings us to the core question: Will D’Adamo’s dietary recommendations do you any good?

The bulk of Eat Right for Your Type is a massive collection of every ailment you ever heard of and a recommended dietary treatment for each based on blood type. In fairness, researchers have found links between certain diseases and blood types. For example: People with type B blood may have a lower incidence of Type 2 diabetes than the A, O, and AB groups.

One study found a weak connection between gallstone formation and blood type, with type O folks being slightly less susceptible.

A recent study of a million Scandinavian blood donors found type AB folks were 26 percent more likely, and type B folks 8 percent less likely, to develop gastric cancers than O types.

Still, concluding from the above that a diet based on blood type will improve your health is a long leap.

A 2012 review of 1,415 articles about blood-type diets found exactly one that met all the criteria for sound research, and that one didn’t examine the ABO blood typing D’Adamo focuses on, but rather a different system of blood classification known as MNS. For what it’s worth, the study found some MNS blood types responded better to a lowfat diet than others.

So it’s not out of the question you may someday get legitimate diet advice based on some form of blood typing. But avoiding poultry to cure AIDS, as D’Adamo claims? I’m sorry, that’s nuts.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “No regrets? Really?” asks author Richard Power. “I have regrets. They are sacred to me. They inform my character. They bear witness to my evolution. Glimpses of lost love and treasure are held inside of them; like small beautiful creatures suspended in amber.” I think you can see where this horoscope is going, Aries. I'm going to suggest you do what Powers advises: “Do not avoid your regrets. Embrace them. Listen to their stories. Hold them to your heart when you want to remember the price you paid to become who you truly are.

”TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Urbandictionary. com says that the newly coined word "orgasnom” is what you call the ecstatic feelings you have as you eat especially delectable food. It's derived, of course, from the word “orgasm.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you are in an excellent position to have a number of orgasmic-like breakthroughs in the coming week. Orgasnoms are certainly among them, but also orgasaurals, orgasights, and orgasversations—in other words, deep thrills resulting from blissful sounds, rapturous visions, and exciting conversations. I won't be surprised if you also experience several other kinds of beautiful delirium.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you were about to

run in a long-distance race, you wouldn't eat a dozen doughnuts. Right? If you were planning to leave your native land and spend a year living in Ethiopia, you wouldn't immerse yourself in learning how to speak Chinese in the month before you departed.

Right? In that spirit, I hope you'll be smart about the preparations you make in the coming weeks. This will be a time to prime yourself for the adventures in selfexpression that will bloom in late September and the month of October. What is it you want to create at that time? What would you like to show the world about yourself?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land. It's the foundation of the most politically powerful nation on the planet. And yet when it originally went into effect in 1789, it was only 4,543 words long—about three times the length of this horoscope column. The Bill of Rights, enacted in 1791, added a mere 462 words. By contrast, India's Constitution is 117,000 words, more than 20 times longer. If you create a new master plan for yourself in the coming months, Cancerian—as I hope you will—a compact version like America's will be exactly right. You need diamond-like lucidity, not sprawling guesswork.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There are two scientific terms for tickling. “Knismesis” refers to a soft, feathery touch that may be mildly pleasurable. It can be used to display adoring tenderness. The heavier, deeper kind of tickling is called “gargalesis.” If playfully applied to sensitive parts of the anatomy, it can provoke fun and laughter. Given the current planetary alignments, Leo, I conclude that both of these will be rich metaphors for you in the coming days. I suggest that you be extra alert for opportunities to symbolically tickle and be tickled. (P.S. Here's a useful allegory: If you do the knismesis thing beneath the snout of a great white shark, you can hypnotize it.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In his “Song of the Open

Road,” Walt Whitman wrote some lyrics that I hope will provide you with just the right spark. Even if you're not embarking on a literal journey along a big wide highway, my guess is that you are at least going to do the metaphorical equivalent. “Henceforth I ask not good fortune—I myself am good fortune,” said Uncle Walt. “Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing. Strong and content, I travel the open road.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mystical poet St. John of the Cross (1542-1591) was one of Spain's greatest writers. But not all of his work came easily. When he was 35, a rival religious group imprisoned him for his mildly heretical ideas. He spent the next nine months in a 10-foot by 6-foot jail cell, where he was starved, beaten, and tortured. It was there that he composed his most renowned poem, “Spiritual Canticle.” Does that provide you with any inspiration, Libra? I'll make a wild guess and speculate that maybe you're in a tough situation yourself right now. It's not even one percent

as tough as St. John's, though. If he could squeeze some brilliance out of his predicament, you can, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The American naturalist John Burroughs (1837-1921) traveled widely and wrote 23 books. “I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think,” he testified, “all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.” Let's make that longing for abundance serve as your rallying cry during the next two weeks, Scorpio. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you have a cosmic mandate to push to the limits—and sometimes beyond—as you satisfy your quest to be, see, and do everything you love to be, see, and do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Punk icon Henry Rollins did an interview with Marilyn Manson, rock & roll's master of the grotesque. It's on Youtube. The comments section beneath the video are rife with spite and bile directed toward Manson, driving one fan to defend her hero. “I love Marilyn Manson so much that I could puke rainbows,” she testified. I think you will need to tap into that kind of love in the coming days, Sagittarius: fierce, intense, and devotional, and yet also playful, funny, and exhilarating. You don't necessarily have to puke rainbows, however. Maybe you could merely spit them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you want to know a secret, I talk less crazy to you Capricorns than I do to the other signs. I tone down my wild-eyed, goddessdrunk shape-shifting a bit. I rarely exhort you to don an animal costume and dance with the fairy folk in the woods, and I think the last time I suggested that you fall in love with an alien, angel, or deity was . . . never. So what's my problem? Don't you feel taboo urges and illicit impulses now and then? Isn't it true that like everyone else, you periodically need to slip away from your habitual grooves and tamper with the conventional wisdom? Of course you do. Which is why I hereby repeal my excessive caution. Get out there, Capricorn, and be as uninhibited as you dare.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Germany's Ostwall Museum displayed a conceptual installation by the artist Martin Kippenberger. Valued at $1.1 million, it was called “When It Starts Dripping from the Ceiling.” Part of it was composed of a rubber tub that was painted to appear as if it had once held dirty rainwater. One night while the museum was closed, a new janitor came in to tidy up the premises. While performing her tasks, she scrubbed the rubber tub until it was “clean,” thereby damaging the art. Let this be a cautionary tale, Aquarius. It's important for you to appreciate and learn from the messy stuff in your life—even admire its artistry—and not just assume it all needs to be scoured and disinfected.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her novel White Oleander, Janet Fitch suggests that beauty is something to be used, “like a hammer or a key.” That's your assignment, Pisces. Find practical ways to make your beauty work for you. For example, invoke it to help you win friends and influence people. Put it into action to drum up new opportunities and hunt down provocative invitations. And don't tell me you possess insufficient beauty to accomplish these things. I guarantee you that you have more than enough. To understand why I'm so sure, you may have to shed some ugly definitions of beauty you've unconsciously absorbed from our warped culture.
