Khamis says he got the factoid from the Dublin Chamber of Commerce. True to his word, Councilmember ASH KALRA reimbursed the city $1,824.40 for the trip, part of which he spent catching up with a cousin who lives there. Kalra said the sister city group ate dinner one night at the Lord Mayor OISIN QUINN’s mansion but spent most of the Dublin tour in back-to-back meetings from 8am to 9pm. Neither he nor anyone else could immediately recall a major development or breakthrough from these meetings. According to Groen, her boss Herrera, who heads San Jose’s Economic Development Committee, learned a lot about the political workings of Dublin’s largely ceremonial municipal government.

Dublin’s Lord Mayor doesn’t have much

say over the budget—the state does.

And the City Council is made up of 52 members. “Can you imagine trying to get anything done?” Groen said. After some consideration, Fly has decided it would be almost as difficult as trying to get work done while traveling in a foreign country. Khamis said he was repeatedly asked to share the pros and cons of having a mayor elected by the general population. In Dublin, other councilors elect a mayor, but they’re considering switching to a direct democracy. “I was honored to have them ask us those questions, because it kind of shows that they’re also thinking about how we do things here,” he said. Councilmember XAVIER CAMPOS’ office declined comment on the trip. We’ll just assume he had an awesome time.

On the Bubble

SV DINING

HoneyCreek Café on 124 Castro Street in Mountain View is beginning to attract diners who know that boba and tea drinks are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dessert and drink trends from Asia.

HoneyCreek, which opened in September, has a diverse food and drink menu. In addition to Taiwanese dishes like noodles and stir frys, the restaurant serves a long list of drinks— more than 200 variations on iced tea, smoothies, iced milk tea, jelly ice, milk slush and hot tea. Diners can customize their drinks to a preferred level of sweetness. For dessert, the café offers a range of eye-catching “snow” desserts ($6.99 each), which consist of thin sheets of ice that melt quickly on the tongue. Flavors include milk, taro, honeydew, rose, green tea, and chocolate.

HoneyCreek also serves signature “honey toast” desserts: toasts with elaborate toppings, from caramel drizzle to macaron gala ($12.99) Some desserts and drinks arrive in whimsical vessels such as glasses shaped like beehives—the creative dishware adds unique character to the table. Honey Creek is open Mon-Thurs, Sun from 11:30am-midnight, and Fri-Sat 11:30am-1am.

New ‘Rye’ in Town Restaurant James Randall has left the building. The local favorite has a new name and concept as Oak and Rye, which launched earlier this week. The switch follows a quick remodel that took place over the summer.

On Oct. 18, in a post on its Facebook page that began “Goodbye, Restaurant James Randall,” the restaurant shared a farewell message, expressing gratitude to patrons. In a nod to both the restaurant’s past and Oak and Rye’s new offerings, the post also noted: “all of your pennies from the Copper Penny Happy Hour are now in full view as the tile for the new wood-fired oven.” RJR offered a happy hour in which one could buy a cocktail and get one for a friend for a penny.

Oak and Rye has added a wood-fired oven to the premises, and pizzas are the new specialty (rising favorite: the “You’ve Got Kale” with garlic, kale, Calabrian chile and sausage). The menu also includes small plates and cocktails.

Restaurant James Randall was named for owner Brenda Hammond’s brother, who died of cancer 15 years ago. Her son, Chef Ross Hanson, headed the kitchen and created the menu.

Hanson will still head the kitchen at Oak and Rye. Oak and Rye is located at located at 303 N. Santa Cruz Ave, Los Gatos.

Hours are Mon-Sun 11am-11pm.

For Show ONE DOESN’T have to be a wrasslin' fan to enjoy the The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, but it wouldn't hurt. This play by Kristoffer Diaz stresses both the artifice and artistry of pro-wrestling, and its spectacle is fully utilized

by San Jose Stage in a production directed by Jonathan Williams. Echoing the visceral punch of last season's Red, in which Mark Rothko splattered real paint around the set, Chad Deity features real (if The Elaborate scripted) wrestling moves along with all the aggressive Entrance of Chad Deity noises and garish colors of a televised match.

The semiotician Roland Barthes called wrestling “the Thru Nov. 10 most intelligible of spectacles” and observed that The Stage, San Jose. wrestlers represent identifiable “types” who enter the ring not to engage in a sport, but to tell a story. The $25-$50. audience buys the story knowing that it is scripted— 408.283.7142 or and why shouldn't they? It doesn't upset us to know thestage.org. that Swan Lake was choreographed beforehand, or that Hamlet has a predetermined ending. Chad Deity understands this dynamic. It uses wrestling as a metaphor for the American Dream, but the question posed is not “is it myth or reality?” but rather “what kind of narrative are we buying into?”

This is the problem that occupies Mace (Andrew Perez), the hero of the play. As a truly skilled wrestler, his job is to make star wrestlers like the prancing title character (a gloriously funny performance by Donald Paul) look better than they are. Mace is writing a narrative that glorifies Chad Deity as the successful, macho, all-American hero, even though the Chad Deities of the world couldn't exist without their fall guys.

Mace wants to tell a different story, so he recruits Vigneshwar Paduar (Jaspal Binning) off the streets of Brooklyn. A walking embodiment of multiculturalism, V. P. has the power to bring a more authentic voice to wrestling. Instead, money-grubbing executive E. K. Olson (Randall King) appeals to jingoistic fans by spinning V. P. as “The Fundamentalist,” an America-hating terrorist wrestler destined to be righteously trounced by Deity, while Mace becomes Mexican revolutionary “Che Chavez Castro.”

As much an affectionate tribute to this non-sport as it is a satire, The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity ultimately uses the the idiom of wrestling to expresses hope that America's underdogs will be able to script their own performances instead of being eternally cast as the villains.—Sean Conwell

THE HOUSE IN TH THE HE ALLE ALLEY Y

HACK-A-THON Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Daniel Bruhl) and Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch) plot to free some information.

Full Bore FOR A FILM about a man who made banks teeter and governments totter, The Fifth Estate is surprisingly boring.

Certainly, this was a tough film to make; the serious challenge is to get under the icy skin of Julian Assange—played by Benedict Cumberbatch, who is good, even if Julian Assange plays Julian Assange so much better. (Plus Assange is presented as the flawed-hero type here— and when you see him in the far better documentary We Steal Secrets, he’s a much more multi-faceted and diabolical type.)

Director Bill Condon sees Assange as a martyr whose belief in freedom of information was so pure that he didn’t care what risk that information brought, or how much it might damage the people around him. Avoiding the later sex scandal, The Fifth Estate focuses on the two-year sleigh ride through snowy Europe that Assange gave his German colleague Daniel Domscheit-Berg. The German is played by Daniel Bruhl, who was Niki Lauda in Rush; he’s portrayed as an honest if drab Berlinese activist with a girlfriend who wants him home.

(It’s 2013 and they’re still doing the “you’re dinner’s cold” scene.) The subplot concerns one of the people whose career suffers because of Wikileaks: an undersecretary of State (Laura Linney) whose source is burned, and whose

private reports are exposed.

Blame for this movie’s dullness falls heavy on scriptwriter Josh Singer (of The West Wing), who glides past a point of view to get stuck in a morass of wishy-washy liberalism. Cumberbatch’s exemplary work as Sherlock Holmes sources this performance. There, he was exciting and enigmatic—here, he’s wetter, in keeping with the film’s big idea that Assange’s problem The Fifth Estate was childhood trauma.

R; 124 min Bruhl, who played the Austrian racer in Rush, Plays valleywide is the kind of recessive actor that the cinema needs—the Joseph Cotten type--but he hasn’t found the director yet that’ll make that recessiveness interesting.

Condon does what he can to get some visual dynamism in a picture about people who tap at keyboards all day: scenes take place in a symbolic Matrixy mile-wide room full of desks representing cyberspace. Glowing, multi-colored text flashes on faces, like the opening titles running on the belly-dancer in From Russia With Love. But the pathetically written ending about the possibilities of the future reflect what the director knows: it’s just too early to tell about Assange and his methods. —Richard von Busack

THE STRAIGHT DOPE

By CECIL ADAMS

CECIL@METRONEWS.COM

In sci-fi stories, alien planets often have multiple species of indigenous intelligent life forms, whereas Earth has only one species that is much more advanced than others. Why didn’t multiple species evolve comparable upperechelon intelligence at the same time? Is there something inherently unlikely with the alien-planet scenario? —Ken in Sherborn, MA

What makes you think having multiple intelligent species around at the same time is science fiction? On the contrary, some researchers believe, two intelligent species once competed to dominate the Earth. Much as today we have normal people duking it out with House Republicans, Homo sapiens not too long ago may have engaged in a long twilight struggle with Homo neanderthalensis—surely one of the more poignant conflicts in human history.

One imagines a Cro-Magnon watching the Neanderthals flee after another doomed, pointless battle and thinking: Won’t those dumb bastards ever give up?

The thing is, the Neanderthals may not have been all that dumb. Although the name has become a synonym for mouth-breathing dimwit, archaeological research suggests that, at least in terms of brain size, Neanderthals were comparable to us.

To be sure, any discussion of the hominid family tree involves about three parts speculation to one part fact.

Here’s what we know: Neanderthals and modern humans diverged from a common ancestor perhaps 400,000 years ago, with Neanderthals living primarily in Europe while our forebears camped out mainly in Africa.

Homo sapiens began spreading out of Africa around 60,000 years ago, and reached Europe maybe 45,000 years ago.

A relatively short time after that, archaeologically speaking, the Neanderthals were all gone. Just how short is a matter of debate—some researchers think it may have been as little as 5,000 years.

What happened? Some theories: We killed them. Author Jared Diamond among others suggests we may have wiped out the Neanderthals just as Europeans did with indigenous peoples, via war and disease. One never knows, but Neanderthals, whatever their other deficiencies, were stocky and muscular and would have been formidable foes in close combat. As for disease, European pathogens depopulated the New World

11 59

catastrophically fast—the Taino culture encountered by Columbus in the 1490s was virtually extinct just six decades later. The fact that the Neanderthals hung on for 5,000 years suggests that, whatever the differences in mortality, this wasn’t a case where we annihilated the natives primarily with our germs.

We assimilated them. Also not likely. Genome studies suggest some interbreeding occurred, most likely between male Neanderthals and female humans, but probably not a lot.

They couldn’t adapt. Many have argued that Neanderthals lacked sophisticated social organization and hunting skills and generally just couldn’t cope with an evolving world.

We outcompeted them. The maladaptation theory suggests Neanderthals would have gone extinct whether we’d been on the scene or not.

The competition theory, in contrast, says that, even if we didn’t necessarily destroy them in open warfare, by outgunning them in the battle for scarce resources we pushed them over the brink.

Granted the evidence is largely circumstantial, but come on.

Neanderthals had survived for hundreds of thousands of years. Then we show up, and 5,000 years later they’re gone.

Some cite this as an example of the competitive exclusion principle: two species can’t occupy the same ecological niche; one will eventually drive out the other.

That’s not to say you can only have one intelligent species at a time.

Consider what some claim is the secondmost intelligent animal on our planet: the dolphin. They form large social groups, communicate, use tools, and exhibit altruistic behavior.

The difference is that dolphins occupy a separate ecosystem from us. Unlike the Neanderthals, they don’t compete with us for the same resources.

OK, we’re dealing with an extremely small data set—until such time as the search for extraterrestrial intelligence pays off, this hypothesis is untestable.

Still, it’s tempting to conjecture that a planet has room for one intelligent apex predator, and we’re Earth’s.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): “I’m greedy,” says painter

David Hockney, “but I’m not greedy for money—I think that can be a burden—I’m greedy for an exciting life.”

According to my analysis, Aries, the cosmos is now giving you the go-ahead to cultivate Hockney’s style of greed. As you head out in quest of adventure, here’s an important piece of advice to keep in mind. Make sure you formulate an intention to seek out thrills that educate and inspire you rather than those that scare you and damage you. It’s up to you which kind you attract.

Simone Weil described the following scene: “Two prisoners in adjoining cells communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but is also their means of communication." This muted type of conversation is a useful metaphor for the current state of one of your important alliances, Taurus. That which separates you also connects you. But I’m wondering if it’s time to create a more direct link. Is it possible to bore a hole through the barrier between you so you can create a more intimate exchange?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "I had tended to view

waiting as mere passivity," says author Sue Monk Kidd in her memoir. "When I looked it up in my dictionary, however, I found that the words ’passive’ and ’passion’ come from the same Latin root, pati, which means ’to endure.’ Waiting is thus both passive and passionate.

It’s a vibrant, contemplative work . . . It involves listening to disinherited voices within, facing the wounded holes in the soul, the denied and undiscovered, the places one lives falsely.” This is excellent counsel for you, Gemini. Are you devoted enough to refrain from leaping into action for now? Are you strong enough to bide your time?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Venice is to the manmade world what the Grand Canyon is to the natural one,” said travel writer Thomas Swick in an article praising the awe-inciting beauty of the Italian city.

“When I went to Venice,” testified French novelist Marcel Proust, “my dream became my address.”

American author Truman Capote chimed in that “Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs at one go.” I bring this up, Cancerian, because even if you don’t make a pilgrimage to Venice, I expect that you will soon have the chance, metaphorically speaking, to consume an entire box of chocolate liqueurs at one go. Take your sweet time. Nibble slowly. Assume that each bite will offer a distinct new epiphany.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you have any interest in reworking—even revolutionizing—your relationship with the past? If so, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to do so. Cosmic forces will be on your side if you attempt any of the following actions: 1.

Forgive yourself for your former failures and missteps.

2. Make atonement to anyone whom you hurt out of ignorance. 3. Reinterpret your life story to account for the ways that more recent events have changed the meaning of what happened long ago. 4. Resolve old business as thoroughly as you can. 5. Feel grateful for everyone who helped make you who you are today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “As a bee seeks nectar

from all kinds of flowers, seek teachings everywhere,” advises the Tibetan Buddhist holy text known as the Dzogchen Tantra. That’s your assignment, Virgo. Be a student 24 hours a day, seven days a week—yes, even while you’re sleeping. (Maybe you could go to school in your dreams.) Regard every experience as an opportunity to learn something new and unexpected.

Be ready to rejoice in all the revelations, both subtle and dramatic, that will nudge you to adjust your theories and change your mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t you wish your friends and loved ones would just somehow figure out what you want without you having to actually say it? Wouldn’t it be great if they were telepathic or could read your body language so well that they would surmise your secret thoughts? Here’s a news bulletin: IT AIN’T GOING TO HAPPEN! EVER! That’s why I recommend that you refrain from resenting people for not being mind-readers, and instead simply tell them point-blank what you’re dreaming about and yearning for. They may or may not be able to help you reach fulfillment, but at least they will be in possession of the

By ROB BREZSNY week of October 23

precise information they need to make an informed decision.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpios are obsessive,

brooding, suspicious, demanding, and secretive, right?

That’s what traditional astrologers say, isn’t it? Well, no, actually. I think that’s a misleading assessment.

It’s true that some Scorpios are dominated by the qualities I named. But my research shows that those types of Scorpios are generally not attracted to reading my horoscopes. My Scorpios tend instead to be passionately focused, deeply thoughtful, smartly discerning, intensely committed to excellence, and devoted to understanding the complex truth. These are all assets that are especially important to draw on right now. The world has an extraordinarily urgent need for the talents of you evolved Scorpios.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “If you’re in pitch blackness, all you can do is sit tight until your eyes get used to the dark.” That helpful advice appears in Norwegian Wood, a novel by Haruki Murakami. Now I’m passing it on to you, just in time for your cruise through the deepest, darkest phase of your cycle.

When you first arrive, you may feel blind and dumb.

Your surroundings might seem impenetrable and your next move unfathomable. But don’t worry. Refrain from drawing any conclusions whatsoever. Cultivate an empty mind and an innocent heart. Sooner or later, you will be able gather the clues you need to take wise action.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Have you thought

about launching a crowdfunding campaign for your pet project? The coming weeks might be a good time.

Have you fantasized about getting involved in an organization that will help save the world even as it feeds your dreams to become the person you want to be? Do it! Would you consider hatching a benevolent conspiracy that will serve as an antidote to an evil conspiracy? Now is the time. You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when you have more power than usual to build alliances. Your specialties between now and December 1 will be to mobilize group energy and round up supporters and translate high ideals into practical actions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 2008, writer Andrew Kessler hung out with scientists at NASA’s mission control as they looked for water on the planet Mars. Three years later, he published a book about his experiences, Martian Summer: Robot Arms, Cowboy Spacemen, and My 90 Days with the Phoenix Mars Mission. To promote sales, he opened a new bookstore that was filled with copies of just one book: his own. I suggest that you come up with a comparable plan to promote your own product, service, brand, or personality. The time is right to summon extra chutzpah as you expand your scope.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Right now you have a genius for escaping, for dodging, for eluding. That could be expressed relatively negatively or relatively positively. So for instance, I don’t recommend that you abscond from boring but crucial responsibilities. You shouldn’t ignore or stonewall people whose alliances with you are important to keep healthy. On the other hand, I encourage you to fly, fly away from onerous obligations that give you little in return. I will applaud your decision to blow off limitations that are enforced by neurotic habits, and I will celebrate your departure from energy-draining situations that manipulate your emotions.

Homework: Imagine you get three wishes on one condition: They can’t benefit you directly, but have to be wished on someone else’s behalf. Freewillastrology.com.
