Nacho Mama's
599 S Collier Blvd,, Marco
Life is just a bowl of Nachos Grande for Eric Phillips, and if you factor in his cooking talents and business philosophy of treating his employees right at Nacho Mama's cantina/restaurant — he could be in the running for the Marco Island Chamber of Commerce poster child (ahem, business) of the year!
"You bet," Executive Chef/owner Eric Phillips agreed enthusiastically after we commented things were looking good during our "In the Kitchen" interview on April 9 at the new, gentrified Nacho Mama's in the recently renamed and up-scaled Marco Walk.
Then we discovered the reason for his enthusiasm — "I'm having a baby tomorrow — actually my wife is and I'll be shouting `It's a girl!' said the visibly elated Chef Martin, noting that sophisticated medical technology now makes it possible to predict both gender and date of birth. "We have three boys and one more tomorrow, our girl, makes our family complete.
"I'm very happy. I have my restaurant and I'm still here," he explained, "I was born in Metuchen, N.J., and after graduation from the local Catholic High School I spent two years majoring in meteorology at Lyndon State College in Vermont. It was tough, the professor gave you a problem and a month to do it and that was your test — the highest grade was a 60. I didn't like rain. At 30 degrees it's miserable so I gave it up.
"Before I came down here I was working as a chef in New York. I moved to Marco Island when my best friend from college invited me to join him down here in 1988 - 89. He left to pursue communication/entertainment interests in California and I stayed. I met my wife and got married here," Chef Phillips said, adding that he was initially the manager and chef when Nacho Mama's opened here (it was called Mission Plaza) in February 1998.
For a nostalgic look back, here's a snippet from one of my old Nacho Mama's restaurant reviews not too long after Nacho Mama's won 2001 Platinum Plate award winner for Best Mexican Restaurant on Marco Island:
Incidentally, don't be put off by the restaurant's outside appearance — bare wood studs and framing covered with see-through plastic coated screening material (keeps out the elements and cool air in) and substitutes for conventional walls on the front and sides. Inside, there's a substantial L-shaped bar lined with virtually tip-proof barstools and equally sturdy tables and chairs (painted garden green that wobble not) arranged in groups for four and more in the open space in front of the bar with neon "art" hung here and there. I'd call it funky, friendly and "floozilly" delightful in its own inimitable way (maybe a beachside bar in Puerto Vallarta?).
That having been said, let's fast forward.
"The little shack was easy compared to this," Chef Phillips said, waving his arm in an arc past plate glass windows that line both the side wall and also the front wall up to the restaurant's main entrance. There's a small forest of umbrella covered tables and chairs, for al fresco dining, occupying the part of Marco Walk's central courtyard that's in front of Macho Mama's. Inside there are strategically located TV screens, and past the splendid horseshoe bar encircling a service island for the full service bar (including 16 premium tequilas) there's two rows of comfortably upholstered booths and a back door opening out into a walkway. The walls are adorned with colorful serapes and equivalent artifacts, and a large poster depicting a posturing matador supplants the old Nacho neon art.
"Actually, many called it `the tent,' you either liked it or you didn't," he reminisced, "There I had eight employees, now I have 30. There I was the manager and cook, here I have three managers and myself and 30 people working including bartenders and cooks. I still do cook on Wednesday and Saturday nights now, of course, but I don't want to take hours away from my staff. The grill position carries 50 percent of the line and the sauté, fryer and expediter share the rest. This place — we turn and burn 500 meals a night — each ticket averages 15 to 20 minutes done or there's a problem in the kitchen and the expediter stays on top and makes sure things move along," Chef Phillips explained.
"You know, soon after I moved to Florida I met Tony Raimone and he gave me a job as cook in Crazy Flamingo. After a while he asked me if I wanted to be general manager. Sure, I said — he never ordered me around. We became good partners at the Crazy Flamingo. In 1997, he told me he found a place that went belly up called the South Beach Grille and he wanted a new restaurant and did I want to run it. It's February '98 and I'm still running back and forth — soon after I left the Crazy Flamingo to run Nacho Mama's full time.
"Here, I run a different special menu every week — appetizer, a fresh Mex entrée, frozen drink, and a frozen milkshake. I don't have any illusions about being an upscale place. I'm what most Americans like — burritos, quesadillas, and nacho grandes. What I'm trying to say is I want the grandparents to come with the grandkids. We're definitely kid friendly and I do want people to know that. I'm Nacho Mama's Tex Mex American and my sign out front says so!
"The good thing about all this — the big new place — I have good people working for me. Rose has been with me since day one; she started the day I opened. I had two cooks in the old place and one manager; I went from 50 seats to 200 including the courtyard — the five people that came with me makes it special because they knew what I wanted to do. Also, I added 10 — 12 new dishes, got rid of a few and added a few more."
Chef Phillips emphasized that he believed it was important to be consistent, even the food, the liquor and the entertainment.
"You go someplace expecting it to open and get there to find they're closed is very disappointing and word gets out — I go year round; two piece band and DJ from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I run a Happy Hour twice a day, 3 to 5 p.m. in season and 3 to 6 p.m. starting in June, and my second Happy Hour goes from 10 p.m. to midnight, Sunday through Wednesday."
Speaking of happy — Yes, Chef Phillips and his wife Nancy are the happy parents of a new baby girl they named Jade, and yes, she was born as scheduled!
"I'm very pleased that I can depend on the people I have working for me — and how it gives me a little more time off to enjoy my family. We recently moved and it's nice to be only one and a half miles from work. I spend my day here — I just don't answer the phone!

Oyster Plates
Oyster plates were popular from the 1880s. Each course at dinner was served in a special dish. The oyster plate had indentations shaped like oysters. Usually six oysters were held on a plate. There is no greater value to a plate with more oysters, although that myth continues to haunt antiques dealers. There are other plates for shellfish, including cockle plates and whelk plates. The appropriately shaped indentations are part of the design of these dishes. Oyster plates were made by many companies and are popular with today's collectors.

A Great Old Warrior
After two trips to Namibia for plainsgame and a leopard, I decided that I wanted to hunt one of the old dugga boy bulls that I had heard about for so long. This time, my wife and 12 year old son came with me to make a family vacation out of it. I started looking in Zimbabwe for the hunt but did not find anything with enough activities for my non-hunting wife. With that-I ended up booking the hunt with Harloo Safaris in Kwa-Zulu Natal of South Africa. Before our hunt we flew to Victoria Falls for two nights at The Hide in Hwange National Park and two more nights at Victoria Falls for some relaxation and activities.
Even though my son and I took various plainsgame while hunting with Harloo, I'm only going to be talking about the buffalo hunt on this report. On the second day of our hunt we were checking an area on foot for a Warthog or Impala for my son. During our walk, we began to see fresh buffalo dung. Brian, our PH and I relizing that neither of us were carrying a rifle sent Eric, our tracker back to the vehicle to fetch them for us. About a half mile further Brian spotted a group of three buffalo on a distant hillside approximately a mile away. Brian radioed the truck to advise them of our plans as we started off towards the buffalo.
About half-way to the buffalo, Brian spots a lone bull walk out of the brush only about 300 yards above us. After a quick look through the binoculars, we decide that we want to get a closer look. Brian and I discuss if my son Jack should come along or stay behind. It is decided that since the area is fairly open, Jack would come along with instruction to get behind Brian if things start getting hairy. With that our group of five, Brian, me, Jack, Eric & Jahen the videographer begin our stalk from one tree to another. We get about 40 yards from the bull (still feeding) where we stop to look him over. He is an old mature bull with average spread but good drop and boss. Brian asked me what I thought and I tell him even though it's early in the hunt, I want the bull as he is what I'm looking for. With that Brian puts the shooting sticks up. As I put the rifle, a Harloo loaner .375 H&H with 250 grains Barnes X-bullets on to the sticks the bull turn and faces us. As the bull advances towards us shaking his head back and forth, Brian tells me to take him in the chest. My shot at 30 yards knocks the bull down but he gets right back up. As the bull staggers, I expect him to fall again, he doesn't. I shoot a second time, breaking his left shoulder. He walks away and I shoot again, behind the left shoulder, about 6" further back than I wanted to. The bull continues to walk away from us, stopping to feed a little. I shake my head not believing how tough these buffalo are.
We move our position and I shoot the buffalo for the fourth time, breaking his right shoulder. He refuses to go down so I put another bullet into his right shoulder. Still on his feet, the bull turn towards us, advances, and falls after a couple of steps. As we move to the side to finish the job, he somehow gets to his feet, trying to get to us. At the sixth shot, he again drops to never get up again. After the seventh and final shot the bull lets out three death bellows as his life ends.
As we shake hands and discuss this fine old warrior, I see Eric smile and points towards some brush. When we look in that direction we see seven buffalo bulls coming towrds us. Brain and Eric step forward and yell at the bulls as I quickly reload. One bull leaves but the six others continue to adance until they are only about 20 yards away. For the next five minutes (seemed like 30) the bulls again and again move back about 40 yards, then advance. We start walking backwards looking to put some distance and trees between us but they just advance to close the gap back up. During this time I look to see if my son is OK and staying behind Brian. He had such a big smile on his face, loving this whole experience. After about five minutes of this Brian took his pistol out and fired three rounds into the ground and the bulls finally walked off.
But they didn't leave, instead walking over to their fallen comrade and leader. All six of them surround the downed bull trying to encourage him to get up. When this doesn't work they try to lift him to his feet with their heads. After seeing the bulls were not going to leave, Brian radios the truck requesting his three Jack Russell Terriers. Rigby, Roxie & Ruger come to our rescue and go after the bulls. They harassed the bulls for nearly 15 minutes, nipping at their heals and such before they finally wandered off for good.
I had heard of how hard these bulls were to kill once the adrenalin has kicked in but this old bull far surpassed what I had expected. Not once, did this bull try to run away, instead always advancing, letting us know that we were intruding. Eric told me that he was very happy that this bull never made it to the thick brush as he would have been very dangerous. It was so amazing and enlightning to watch the six other bulls come to the aid of their buddy and then try to get him to his feet. Brian explained that they did this as the bull I had shot had been the group's leader and they wanted him to take them away. What an experience, I was so fortunate to be able to share it with my son. No matter how many buffalo I may hunt in the future, I expect this one will never be repeated. The respect I've gained for the Cape Buffalo is great.
I've seen the unedited video of the hunt and it is amazing! After watching it, my wife wasn't too pleased with her son being present but later turned her concern to the buffalo. I can't wait to get the final edited DVD. Later, I'll do a report on the rest of our trip & hunt. My son shot an Impala and Blesbuck, his first big game animals ever! I was able to take a Nyala, Eland, Bushpig and Bushbuck.

Review: Bridge School Benefit 2009(20)
By Jim Harrington
Neil Young just can't please everybody – not that pleasing the masses has ever been the 63-year-old Woodside rocker's top priority.
When he fills the Bridge School Benefit lineup with ringers – guys like Eddie Vedder, Dave Matthews and Willie Nelson, all of whom are Bridge vets – he gets knocked for playing it safe. When Young heads the other direction – as he did during this past weekend's two Bridge concerts – people ask, "Where's Vedder, Matthews and Nelson?" Read the rest of this entry »Leave a comment

Don't Become a VICTIM
Traveling is a dangerous game. A stranger in a strange land may often encounter hazards along the way. That's why the "it's not going to happen to me" syndrome has no place in meeting planning. Thinking "it can absolutely happen to me or someone in my group" is more like it.
Risks cannot be entirely eliminated. But by making safety and security an integral part of the planning process, organizations can dramatically lower the probability. One way to help protect your attendees when traveling to areas where tourists are targets is to provide them with a list of simple precautions. Tell them to:
Be aware of those around them. Remain alert at all times, especially in crowded areas. Thieves often operate in pairs. One may bump you while the other picks your pocket. Try to avoid carrying valuables in baggage that can be easily snatched, snipped, or removed without your knowledge.
Stay in well-lit areas. Avoid unlit driveways and other shadowy places. When possible, ride rather than walk, particularly at night. If the streets around your hotel are deserted, take a taxi or shuttle bus, even if your destination is within easy walking distance.
Keep a low profile. Do not draw attention to yourself by ostentatious dress and displays of wealth. Stick with plain clothes. Don't wear your badge or carry your meeting materials with you outside your hotel. Outsiders are prime targets for thieves. As much as possible, try to look as though you belong.
Adhere to a "buddy" system. If you know someone is headed for the same destination you are, see if you can tag along. Few travelers become victims when they are in the company of others. Be sure to walk with another person, particularly at night.
Is Your Hotel Fire-Safe?
When inspecting a site for fire safety, Carol Krugman looks at every angle. Not only does she have the director of security show her the fire exits and the facility's evacuation plan, but she visits the closest hospital or emergency room as well. She notes the most direct route, how long it takes, and the admission procedure.
"There's no such thing as being too careful," says Krugman, CMP, CMM, president, Krugman Group International, a St. Petersburg, Fla.-based global meeting and incentive planning company.
When considering a venue, ask the following fire-safety questions. The local fire department can be a useful resource for answers, and can help evaluate a facility's fire preparedness.
Are there fire sprinkler systems, and smoke and fire detectors in guest rooms and meeting rooms? Are the smoke detectors hard-wired to a central station or directly to the fire department?
Is there a fire alarm system to alert attendees? Does it sound automatically?
What action does the facility's staff take when the alarm sounds? Do they follow an established standard operating emergency procedure?
Are exit doors and routes clearly labeled, and are exit signs illuminated? Is there an adequate number of emergency exits? Check with the local fire department.
Is there emergency lighting?
Are fire extinguishers, fire hose valves, and manual fire alarm pulls easily accessible?
Are corridors, exit doorways, and exit stairways unobstructed? Are exit doors unlocked?
Are clear emergency instructions posted in each guest room?
How are guests with disabilities evacuated?
Is the facility subject to a fire code? Which one? Are any fire-safety violations related to safety inspections outstanding or uncorrected? Double check with the local fire department.
The National Fire Protection Association has compiled its own hotel fire safety checklist. To obtain a copy, contact Albert B. Sears Jr., assistant vice president, meetings, NFPA at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Speaking from Experience
What should you look for when choosing a security expert?
Find someone with an understanding of the meetings and incentives industry. So says Richard Werth, CPP, president of Franklin, Tenn.-based Event & Meeting Security Services, an international consulting firm specializing in security for events, meetings and travel. "Yes, it is possible to hire a retired law enforcer. But odds are this person will not clearly understand your objectives. Someone experienced in the meetings industry will," he says.
Be sure to get a written proposal, as well as a list of references, to find out what he or she has brought to past events.
Find out what education and certification the person has. Werth says one of the best certifications in the field is Certified Protection Professional, which is given by the American Society for Industrial Security.
Plan on spending $800 to $1,200 per day for 24-hour coverage on site by a qualified professional.

The Barony of Kinalmeaky, County Cork, has one of the highest concentrations of the name Harrington, the Irish family name not to be confused with the English Harrington. Although some Harringtons living in Ireland undoubtedly come from English heritage, the Irish name in Gaelic was originally O hIongardail, which became anglicized as O'Hungerdell and then Harrington.
In another branch of the family, the name was more commonly anglicized as Heraghty, from the Gaelic word hOireachtaigh, meaning "holding of many assemblies." The Heraghty name is found in Mayo and Cork. A third strand stems from the O hArrachtains, anglicized to Harraughton, a synonym of Harrington found in the Dingle area of County Kerry.
Some Scots-English Harringtons are believed to have fought with Strongbow (Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke), during his invasion of Ireland. These Harringtons, or the Strath-Clyde Britons, were originally from an area around Glasgow, Scotland. Records show that in reward for military service they were granted lands in southern Ireland.
Other Harringtons, from the Cumberland area, were also brought to Ireland as part of British resettlement efforts. In Ireland's political history, Timothy Charles Harrington is one of the most famous Harringtons. Born in Castletownbere, County Cork, in 1851, Timothy was a practicing lawyer and owner of two newspapers, The Kerry Sentinel and United Ireland. He also served as secretary for the Irish National League, a main base of support for the Irish Parliamentary Party, and acted as counsel for Charles Stewart Parnell, the party's leader. In 1883, he was elected as a representative for Westmeath, and in 1885 he was elected to the Dublin Harbor constituency, a position he held until his death in 1910.
Harrington served as Lord Mayor of Dublin for three years, 1901-1904, and is remembered for refusing to meet with King Edward VII when the king visited Dublin in 1902. The Georgian house where Timothy died is now a swanky Dublin hotel called Harrington Hall. Meanwhile, in New York there is a college center named for another famous Harrington.
Michael Harrington (1928-1989), a professor of political science at Queens College, New York, was one of the most prominent socialists and political thinkers of his generation. The St. Louis Missouri native's book The Other America: Poverty in the United States had an effect on both the Kennedy and Johnson administration's policies to combat poverty. The Michael Harrington Center at Queens College, was named for Harrington, who died of cancer in 1989.
Also in the academic world, two members of the tribe have put their stamp on American colleges. The Rev. Donald J. Harrington has been President of St. John's University, New York, one of the biggest Catholic universities in the country, since 1989. And John P. Harrington, Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has written several books on Irish literature, history and culture.
In the world of entertainment, Pat Harrington, Jr. (born 1929) is most famous for his voice work as Inspector Clousseau in the 1960s animated movies, and for his role as Dwayne F. Schneider in the daytime drama "One Day at a Time."
While the Harrington clan has certainly made its mark in all manner of pursuits, nowhere is the clan's prowess more evident than in the world of sport. In Ireland,
Paddy Harrington played Gaelic football for Cork in the 1950s. His son, Padraig Harrington, is the 2007 British Open Golf Champion and remains a high-profile and accomplished golfer. On this side of the pond, Padraig's cousin, Joey Harrington, Jr. is quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. Born in Portland, Oregon, Joey's grandfather and father played quarterback for the universities of Portland and Oregon respectively.
A story goes that upon hearing of his birth, the Oregon Ducks' coach Len Casanova jokingly sent his parents a letter of intent. Harrington eventually became a three-year starter for the Oregon Ducks, earning numerous awards. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions in 2002 as the third overall pick and became their starter. After enduring a difficult couple of seasons, he was traded to the Miami Dolphins. Earlier this year, he moved to the Atlanta Falcons and is their starting quarterback this season.
And finally, one more champion Harrington who just happens to be a cousin of both Padraig and Joey Harrington. Besides being a former World Series of Poker champion, Dan Harrington is a champion backgammon player, and a U.S. chess master. He played poker against Bill Gates while Gates was at Harvard, and is the co-author of three books on tournament poker. Dan's live tournament winnings to date exceed $4,750,000.

The Artists Cinema
The second annual Artists Cinema programme again asks for a 'response, comment interruption and/ or reflection on the cinema context'. Curated by Mark Williams, Alex Monteith and Jan Bryant, this year's programme includes themes as diverse as today's global political malaise, 'bogan' culture and what Wolfgang Iser refers to the function of art: 'the subversion of the illusions on which our perception is based'. While these artists are fluent with mixed media installation, multiscreen imagery and site-specific response, each work on The Artists Cinema is presented in a form suited to traditional cinema presentation. This project aims to bring some of the criticality of the artist's practice in the white cube into the realm of the black box. Likewise, the programme itself aims to be propositional in nature, leaving space for the audience to consider how these works address the political, aesthetic and structural aspects of the cinematic form. — Mark Williams

Learn what other groups are doing to encourage women to bicycle and become leaders in the bicycle movement
League of American Bicyclists' Women Bike
Follow @WomenBike! on Twitter
Recorded webinar from March 26, 2014: Women of Courage, Character and Commitment Moving Active, Sustainable Transportation Forward
Join APBP as six distinguished women in transportation share their insights about being women of character, courage and commitment in a field once dominated by men. Do women make a difference? What is it like to lead an innovative transportation department? Can we better integrate health into all aspects of planning practice? Is equity (racial, gender) emerging as a core conversation in transportation planning? Have transportation research questions changed as more women enter the field? How are young professionals changing transportation engineering thought and practice? Who is teaching the next generation of engineers to make bicycling and walking the heart and soul of transportation? Each speaker has a story to inspire you to continue your work to make transportation a healthier and more robust choice in communities.
About the Women Cycling Project
Women's Work: Bicycle-friendly Communities by Design 3/27/2013
APBP's fourth annual Women Cycling Project webinar features brilliant women working to make communities more bicycle-friendly. Join us as we profile outstanding professionals who develop bicycle plans, projects and programs for communities, encourage children to bicycle to school, and inspire girls to consider careers in transportation. Whether you are a student or professional, a woman or man, this webinar will motivate you to address key reasons keeping people from bicycling for transportation: speeding cars and inattentive drivers.
This year's webinar incorporates the 2013 National Women's History Month theme, Women Inspiring Innovation through Imagination. This theme honors generations of women who throughout American history have used their intelligence, imagination, sense of wonder, and tenacity to make extraordinary contributions to the STEM fields. (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Visit www.nwhp.org to learn how to incorporate this theme into your 2013 Women's History Month celebrations.)
Don't miss: Case Study: Elementary school girls in Reston, Virginia learn that engineering is part of everyday life (this 15 minute pre-recorded case study complements the 3/27/2013 webinar). See video below.
Junior Engineer-in-Training Program Case Study
APBP Women Cycling Project Co-founder and Alta Planning + Design engineer Fionnuala Quinn offers up a fascinating 15-minute case study about JEiTs -- the Junior Engineer-in-Training program.
JEiTs is a hands-on, by invitation-only program within Hunters Wood Elementary School in Reston, Virginia, USA. Each year, JEiTs selects 20 5th and 6th grade girls. Now in its fifth year, this popular program encourages girls to see themselves in careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (the STEM fields). The girls design and build projects using low-cost or no-cost materials, welcome engineers from the community and take engaging field trips that help them recognize that engineering is integral to everyday life.
In 2013 for the first time, the JEiTs sent handmade Valentines to engineers in public agencies in the community. This winsome activity generated many enthusiastic responses, such as this one from Dave J. Kubicek, Deputy General Manager, Operations, WMATA: "Thank you so much for the kind words on Valentine's Day. I am excited knowing that we have so many bright engineers on the horizon. Keep up the good work and remember Safety First!"
The JEiTs case study complements the 2013 APBP Women Cycling Webinar: Women's Work: Bicycle-friendly Communities by Design.
In the United States, women bicycle at significantly lower rates than men. One method of remedying this disparity is to ensure that women are engaged in bicycle planning and policy making through, for example, participation in bicycle advisory committees (BACs). No research has been conducted on women's representation and participation in these committees.
This study attempts to fill that gap by examining women's membership levels in and experiences serving on California bicycle advisory committees and bicycle/pedestrian advisory committees. In addition, we explore some of the barriers to participation faced by female cyclists. A survey of 42 committees revealed that women make up approximately 24% of members on an average bicycle (and pedestrian) advisory committee in California.
Through focus group interviews with 24 women currently serving on BACs, several common themes emerged. Women on these committees are more likely than men to bring up women's and children's issues, and some aspects of the committees themselves may serve as barriers for women to become more involved. An online survey of 565 women cyclists in California provided insight regarding some of the common barriers women identify as reasons for not becoming involved with a BAC. Lack of awareness of the committees did not seem to be a barrier: 67% of respondents were aware of their local committee. Instead, barriers indentified by participants included: time; perceived lack of qualifications; lack of information about the committee; family and household responsibilities; and lack of interest. Recommendations to increase women's representation on BACs include the following strategies: education about the committee; targeted recruitment efforts; and policy and procedural changes.
View a video of the National Women Cycling Forum held recently in Washington DC. Click Here
This forum was billed as an iInaugural event to elevate conversation about women in cycling.
Read and hear coverage of the event from:
Women still cycle at much lower rates than men in the United States -- making up just 24 percent of bike trips in 2009. But that trend is shifting. This Forum will be the first national gathering specifically dedicated to raising awareness about and discussing how to engage more women in bicycling.
"This critical topic and rising energy is gathering momentum across the country as more women of all backgrounds are starting to ride or getting more involved in the movement," said Carolyn Szczepanski, Communications Coordinator for the Alliance for Biking & Walking. "We're eager to start a continuing conversation aimed at increasing the number of women who bicycle for transportation and recreation."
Sue Macy will provide unique inspiration to kick off that discussion. Among other accolades, Wheels of Change was named to the 2011 Best Books lists from the Washington Post and the San Francisco Book Review. "Ms. Macy wrote a captivating book about the bicycle's historic role in women's empowerment, and we hope this forum will be the catalyst to begin closing the gender gap in today's cycling environment," said Kit Keller, Executive Director of the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals.
New! Perspectives on Seattle Women's Decisions to Bike for Transportation(PDF)
In 2010, the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals posted a survey to gather information about women cycling. The survey included 37 questions pertaining to demographics, cycling behavior, safety/infrastructure concerns, and open-ended inquiries. We thought we would receive a few hundred responses from members. Instead the survey went viral garnering more than 13,000 responses. Although not a scientific survey, the responses offer much interesting and useful information. Some of the questions included comments. When the survey closed in May, APBP partnered with the Department of Health Education at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro Department to analyze the results.
Here are summaries in report format of comments received for three of the survey questions.*

GOP Senators Blast Obama on Immigration
Everyone knows that Barack Obama has been a scofflaw with respect to Obamacare. But even more damaging has been his (and his attorney general's) wanton refusal to enforce the immigration laws. Today, Republican senators Grassley, McConnell, Sessions, Shelby, Lee, Isakson, Johanns, Inhofe, Boozman, Vitter, Risch, Crapo, Roberts, Blunt, Cochran, Chambliss, Scott, Coburn, Fischer, Cruz, Hoeven and Hatch sent this blistering letter to Obama, asking that he fulfill both his constitutional »
Jeb Bush tests the waters
Jeb Bush is coming under fire for saying yesterday that many of those who enter the U.S. illegally do so as "an act of love" towards their family and therefore shouldn't be treated as ordinary criminals. Bush stated: Yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. It's an act of love. It's an act of commitment to your family. I honestly think that that is a different kind »
When Does the New York Times Make Common Cause With Industry?
When the subject is immigration: how to get more of it, especially unskilled Mexicans; how to legalize those who are already here; and above all, why the Republican Party is in deep trouble if it doesn't go along with the Times' open borders ideology. Hence this story in yesterday's Times: "California Farmers Short of Labor, and Patience." The theme of the article is that California farmers need to import more »
Latino voters as "Reagan Democrats?" You're having a laugh
During yesterday's CPAC panel on immigration reform, Alfonso Aguilar, the executive director of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, claimed that "Latino voters are the Reagan Democrats of today." Rev. Luis Cortés Jr. added, "I believe that the majority of them can actually be members of CPAC in the future." Aguilar's claim is preposterous. Reagan Democrats wouldn't have voted by more than 70 percent for a leftist president. Cortes' claim, »
Can there be meaningful immigration reform without citizenship?
CPAC presented a panel on immigration today. I wasn't there, but this report suggests that the panel was an improvement over last year's, which was basically a cheerleading session for amnesty and a path to citizenship. Unlike last year, today's panel included one member, Derrick Morgan of the Heritage Foundation, who opposes that agenda. The panel was supposed to discuss this question: "Can there be meaningful immigration reform without citizenship?" »
Report: House GOP leadership to behave rationally
Robert Costa reports in the Washington Post that the GOP House leadership has decided to close up shop on bipartisan legislation and focus exclusively on proposals that have wide Republican backing. This would mean no big-ticket items such as immigration reform this year. One must always be wary of the leadership's disavowal of intent to pursue immigration reform. It may be an attempt to calm the waters, cause the base »
George Will's flawed case for immigration reform
While we're on the subject of George Will, let's consider his column today in favor of comprehensive immigration reform. Will races through a series of objections by conservatives to such reform, dismissing many of them as reflecting a lack of faith in the vibrancy of our economy and our society that he finds unbecoming in conservatives. Knee-jerk pessimism is unbecoming in conservatives, but so is knee-jerk optimism. Conservatives should not »
Thanks, but no thanks, Chuck
You've got to love Chuck Schumer. The ever-helpful Senator has proposed that, since Republicans don't trust President Obama to implement immigration reform legislation, they should pass legislation that kicks in after his term expires. Speaker Boehner promptly dismissed the idea, noting that it would leave Obama with no incentive to enforce existing immigration laws during the final three years of his presidency. That's a valid objection. There is also the »
Does Michael Needham run the Republican party?
David Brooks seems to think so. On NBC's Meet the Press, Brooks said that the immigration reform debate is really "about who runs the Republican Party." That is, "do the leaders who want to have a long-term future, a presidential, national future as a multi-racial party, do they run the party, or does Mike [Needham] run the party. And the truth is, Mike runs the party." Brooks is partly right. »
Is John Boehner the village idiot?
No, but he sometimes plays the part. The question was prompted by this headline in today's Washington Post: "Boehner says Obama must gain GOP trust on immigration." In what universe could President Obama ever deserve Republican trust on any issue? Boehner knows that no such universe exists. But by focusing on the issue of trust, Boehner puts himself in a win-win situation from his prospective. If Obama doesn't undertake any »
The immigration credibility gap: it isn't just Obama's
The House GOP leadership's current line on immigration reform is that passage of legislation is in serious doubt due to lack of trust in President Obama's willingness to enforce what Congress passes on the subject. Thus, Speaker Boehner says: There's widespread doubt about whether this administration can be trusted to enforce our laws. And it's going to be difficult to move any immigration legislation until that changes. The American people, »
McConnell: Immigration reform unlikely this year
The Hill reports that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says he doesn't see any way the Democratic-controlled Senate and GOP-led House will agree on immigration reform legislation in 2014. McConnell explained: I think we have sort of an irresolvable conflict here. The Senate insists on comprehensive [legislation]. The House says it won't go to conference with the Senate on comprehensive and wants to look at [it] step by step. I »
Republicans to the rescue (of Dems)?
Thomas Sowell considers the quandary of the push by House GOP leadership for immigration reform. He poses the question: "Republicans to the rescue?" (of Democrats, of course). The column packs a lot of wit and wisdom into a short space. The whole thing could make up a quotable quote, but let me break it down into a few bite-sized portions and ask you to read the whole thing. One of »
GOP leadership vs. rising stars?
On CBS's Face the Nation gabfest this morning, Major Garrett (substituting for Bob Schieffer) tried manfully to get House Majority Leader Eric Cantor to open up about the House leadership's announced immigration reform principles (video below). Cantor wouldn't sing, apart from reciting support for the Democratic line on "DREAMers." (Insert groan here.) Why so shy? I find that peculiar. I don't think the explanation is stupidity. I don't think the »
What are they thinking and how can their thinking be changed?
This morning, in a post called "What Are They Thinking?," Scott asked the question about which speculation has become rampant: Why is the House leadership preparing to push for immigration reform that the base doesn't want at a time when the GOP seems poised to make big gains in the upcoming election? Scott posits "stupidity." John has posited "cupidity," stating: "the principal reason the Republican House leadership is willing to »
What are they thinking?
According to the headline on the Wall Street Journal article by Laura Meckler and Kristina Peterson announces (shocker!): "Obama Signals He Would Back House GOP Immigration Framework." Well, duh. The subhead, however, is a little more mysterious: "Republicans Say Rank-and-File at Party Retreat Largely Accepts Plan." If so, I would like to shout, get a clue! By contrast, with respect to the weight of sentiment inside the House GOP conference, »

the network for radical unschooling families
Started by Mike M. Last reply by Amber Mar 13, 2009. 2 Replies 0 Likes
I have to agree that it really does seem intimidating to Homeschool or Unschool in New York. I am also from Rochester,NY but currently reside in North Carolina. I plan on moving back to my hometown, But am hesitant about moving back JUST because of the NY homeschooling laws. I could really use some advice and encouragement. Any pointers, tips and ideas would help tremendously. Thanks in advance :)
Hello everyone, It's comforting to know that there is an Unschooling support group in New York. I currently live in NC but really miss my home in Upstate NY. I'm debating on possibly moving back, but what's preventing me from doing so are the strict laws that NY has to make it difficult to homeschool in this state. My question is.......how is it even possible to Unschool in NY with these strict laws to abide by? I would really appreciate some feedback. Thank you so much. Honored to be apart of this awesome group:)
Thanks Heather - The more I do some research, the better I am feeling about it.
For the IHIP I start with the typical course of study for the grade from the World Book Encyclopedia website and add things we will probably do and take off stuff we probably won't. I add a paragraph at the beginnning:
We plan to use many books, library books, games, computer resources, daily life experience, classes outside the home, projects, field trips, videotapes, and audio tapes, apprenticeship and work experience as learning materials and opportunities. The following is a starting point for exploration, and not a rigid plan. We will adapt this curriculum in response to the student's interests and needs.
This paragraph allows us to then go ahead and do what we are going to do, then write a quarterly report that includes a list of what we did by subject area. I keep a weekly journal of things we did to use when writing the Quarterly Report which makes it easy - I also look at our Netflix history and library account history.
It is best to try to find someone in your district to talk to about paperwork. This email list might also be helpful:
Hi all- This is my first year unschooling and I'm loving all the benefits. My kids are only 5 so I did not need to go through all the school paperwork. I'm nervous about sending in all the required documents come July for the 2013-2014 school year. Any advice for this? How do other unschoolers plan out a "curriculum" to please the school? Thanks in advance!

The Captain's Cabin
3380 Mercantile Ave., Naples, FL
Collier County sheriff's deputies arrested a 33-year-old man early Sunday after they say he attacked a bouncer who asked him to leave the Captain's Cabin bar.
Joshua Robert Briggs, of the 1700 block of 55th Terrace Southwest, Golden Gate, is facing charges of battery and disorderly intoxication.
Around 2 a.m., Briggs was sitting at the bar when Captain's Cabin security asked him several times to leave, according to an arrest report. Briggs said the bouncer would have to carry him out to get him to leave, according to witnesses.
When the bouncer placed his hand on Briggs' shoulder in an effort to escort him out, Briggs shoved him, charged at him and knocked him to the ground. Another bar employee joined the fracas, and he and the bouncer were eventually able to restrain Briggs until deputies arrived.
Brigg's speech was slurred, his eyes were bloodshot and he appeared intoxicated, deputies said. While being booked into the Naples Jail Center, Briggs told deputies he knows several prominent local attorneys and the at he'd "be out of here in an hour and a half."
He was still in custody Monday afternoon.

I have been working at Amegy Corporation full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – There are some great people employed there that are willing to share knowledge and experiences and not be threatened that a individual will steal their job. Unfortunately, those individual are sparse throughout the organization.
Cons – Unfortunately, very much run by and still practices the "good ol' boy system" Extremely poor pay with poor benefits to match
Advice to Senior Management – Retire the good ol' boys and modernize the company into the 21st century. Tenure does automatically suggest quality. Sometimes a tenured individual can simply be taking up valuable space, contributing nothing great, hindering another valuable asset in the form of an employee.

While many would have surely loved to have seen the New York Islanders' Evgeni Nabokov take on his former team, a lower-body injury is likely to keep the former San Jose Sharks goaltender out of Saturday night's matchup at Nassau Coliseum.
Nabokov spent the first 10 NHL seasons of his career with the Sharks (5-3-0) - helping them reach the playoffs nine times.
Despite a 1-2-0 record, the 36-year-old veteran has impressed in four games this season, posting a 2.23 goals-against average. He was especially sharp Thursday, turning away 30 of 32 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss at Pittsburgh - the fourth straight defeat for the Islanders (3-4-1).
Nabokov, though, sustained a minor lower-body injury in the first period. While he was able to play through the pain in regulation and overtime, he was removed prior to the shootout.
"I think maybe during the third period, there was a situation, we were talking about (changing goalies), but Nabby wanted to battle and stay in there so, a total team guy, he wanted to do it for his teammates," coach Jack Capuano told the team's official website.
With Nabokov hurt, Capuano turned to oft-injured Rick DiPietro - who hadn't played this season until that point. He suffered a concussion in practice Oct. 12 and was on the bench for the first time Thursday.
He stopped two of Pittsburgh's three shootout attempts, becoming just the fifth goalie to enter a game having not played during regulation or overtime since the NHL instituted the shootout in 2005.
"One thing this whole plague of injuries has taught me is 'enjoy each day and each chance you get to lace them up,'" DiPietro said. "You never know, chances to get a slap shot to head, you never know if something bad is going to happen to you. I'm happy to be a part of (this team) and contribute any way I can."
The Islanders announced Saturday morning DiPietro would start rather than Al Montoya, who's 2-1-0 with a 1.35 GAA at home this season. DiPietro has gone 1-2-0 with a 3.36 GAA in three career meetings with the Sharks, whom he hasn't faced since 2008.
San Jose, which lost three of its first four games, is 4-0-0 on its six-game road trip. Forwards Patrick Marleau and Ryane Clowe both scored, captain Joe Thornton tallied two goals and Antti Niemi made 30 saves during Friday's 4-2 victory over Detroit.
"They really started to pinch a lot as a team and we were fortunate enough to get the puck in behind them and away we went," coach Todd McLellan said.
Niemi, who has started every game on the Sharks' current trek, has gone 15-4-2 with a 2.15 GAA over his last 21 regular-season starts dating to last season.
The Sharks have controlled this series, posting a 9-2-0 record with one tie over their last 12 meetings with the Islanders.
Thornton, who has notched seven goals and nine assists in his last 13 visits to Long Island, has three and five, respectively, during a five-game point streak.
San Jose has been able to consistently score on this road trip despite struggling on the power play. The Sharks are 1 for 11 with the man advantage in the four road victories, finally clicking on Clowe's tally in the second period.
While the Islanders, who have been outscored 13-5 during their 0-3-1 skid, continue to falter, they've killed all but three of their opponents' 32 power-play opportunities.

Report: Broncos OC McCoy to become Chargers head coach
Reports on Monday indicated that the Arizona Cardinals wanted to interview Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy for a second time.
Not so fast.
It appears the Cardinals will not get a second chance to talk with McCoy.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Tuesday the San Diego Chargers, who spoke with McCoy for the first time the previous day, are about to finalize a deal with the coach.
Chargers are nearing a deal to make Mike McCoy their head coach. Looks like it will be finalized today. More ahead @cbssports— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 15, 2013
McCoy was the only known interview for the Cardinals this week.
As the Cardinals' coaching search enters week three, the team has talked with McCoy, defensive coordinator Ray Horton, Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and unofficially, Todd Haley, whom the Pittsburgh Steelers said the Cardinals were interviewing.

The International The Pines
Bolton, Massachusetts
August 10-12, 2004
BOLTON, Mass. A 40-foot-putt on the final hole capped off Cornelius Carrolls second sub-par round of the Fidelity Investments Junior Classic and sealed the Boys Division title by four strokes with a tournament total of 1-under-par 215.
Catherina Wang of Orlando, Fla., held off a late charge by Marika Lendl of Goshen, Conn., to take home the Girls Division title.
The Fidelity Investments Junior Classic was a 54-hole event conducted by the American Junior Golf Association on The Pines Course at The International. The event featured 98 of the nations premier junior golfers, ages 12-18, from 14 states and Canada.
Carroll entered the day with a one-shot lead atop a packed leader board. A birdie on hole No. 2 quickly gave Carroll the advantage he needed to separate him from the pack and record his second AJGA crown.
I was 1-under through the first two, but was happy to make the turn at even par, said Carroll, from Windermere, Fla. I just wanted to come out here and hit fairways and greens.
After making two 20-foot birdie putts on Nos. 13 and 14, Carroll let his experience take over.
It was a matter of experience today, Carroll said. I have learned how to grind it out and stay in it each shot. I have been playing solid all summer, so it is very nice to have it end this way.
Jon Curran of Hopkinton, Mass., and Michael Slovitt of Winnetka, Ill., tied for second at 3-over-par 219. Matt Giftos of Nashua, N.H., finished in fourth place, while Cody Paladino of Kensington, Conn., and Brent Blaum of Coral Gables, Fla., tied for fifth.
Wang found herself coasting along with a three-stroke lead entering the final two holes, but a bogey on No. 17 and a birdie by Lendl left Wang with a one-shot advantage entering the final hole. After hitting a short tee shot, Wang regrouped and saved par, while Lendl bogeyed.
It got really close there, said Wang, who was also 3-1 in this years Canon Cup to help bring the Cup back to the East team. I just hung in there and pulled it out.
Wang finished the day with a 4-over-par 76 and a 7-over-par 223 for the tournament, giving her a third title in 2004. She also won the Dunlop Carolina Junior Championship and the Ringgold Telephone Company Junior Classic.
Finishing behind Wang and Lendl was Lala Anai of Lexington, Mass., and Brittany Skoda of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. The duo tied for third at 11-over-par 227.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.

AJGA alumni include Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Mike Weir, Charles Howell III, Jim Furyk, Vicki Goetze-Ackerman, Grace Park, Cristie Kerr and Beth Bauer.

As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure. Never did this saying ring more true than it does in the case of skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than one million new cases are diagnosed each year — more than all other cancers combined, yet it is a type of cancer that we possess the tools to prevent.
According to the Skin Cancer Institute at the Arizona Cancer Center, education about prevention not only makes a difference but it saves lives. One of the goals of the Institute is to increase awareness of how we can prevent skin cancer. While the Institute hosts events and activities to talk about skin cancer prevention," we simply could not do it without our community partners." said Robin Harris, the Institute's Deputy Director. "R & R Lotion is a great example of a local business that has stepped up as a partner with us in the fight against skin cancer."
R & R Lotions is a family owned business that has been making high quality lotion and sunscreen right here in Arizona for over 30 years. While originally R&R focused on outdoor workers, the business has grown and today provides a range of sunscreens for golfers, hikers, and people who spend their time enjoying the many outside activities that Arizona has to offer. Richard Rich who founded the business was a natural partner.
Since 2007 R&R has been a regular provider of sunscreen samples in support of Skin Cancer Institute programs in Phoenix and Tucson. "In addition to generously providing a steady flow of sunscreen to our efforts, they have also provided support personnel on occasion, as well as out of the box thinking in response to some of the challenges we have faced." said health educator, Gayle McCartney. "For example in 2009 when Polaroid stopped making the film we used in our UV camera, R&R created and provided the Skin Cancer Institute with a new prototype UV digital camera that allowed us to continue to demonstrate firsthand the sun damage that is occurring. R&R is truly a community partner we can always count on!"
Most recently R&R Lotion is collaborating with the Skin Cancer Institute on a unique project to provide free sunscreen dispensers and sunscreen at reduced cost to some of Tucson's most popular outdoor venues including Biosphere 2, Pima Air & Space Museum, Tohono Chul Park, Tucson Botanical Gardens, , and the Reid Park Zoo. This important project, which is part of the 'Protect Your Skin' campaign, will potentially reach more than 1.5 million visitors each year and create awareness about sun safety and skin cancer prevention.
A spokesperson for the company said, "R&R Lotion's mission is to educate the consumer and community about the potential for the Sun's ability to harm us. We partner with organizations, such as the Arizona Cancer Center, who care about the well-being of all people. It is partnerships like this which will help double the efforts to get the critical "messages" out to everyone."

Greg Proops, the bespectacled comedic genius who stars in the aforementioned popular improvised comedy show "Whose Line Is It, Anyway?" on the ABC Family channel, is coming to Sparks on Saturday.
If you like to laugh until you cry and prefer your comedy spiked with sarcasm, "Sir Proopsalot" is ready to stand and deliver.
The comedian and actor boasts of an international resume as long as Santa's "naughty" list. Called the "funniest man in L.A." by Esquire Magazine, Proops brings his show to local clubs and to comedy festivals across the globe.
Proops' live comedy chat show at the Largo Club in Hollywood has featured such guest comedians as Jack Black, Margaret Cho, Jeff Goldblum and Sarah Silverman.
The experienced stand-up comedian is best known for his antics on "Whose Line?" hosted by Drew Carey, and his unpredictable hilarity in the long-running British version of the same TV show.
His other TV appearances include "Last Comic Standing," "Chelsea Lately," "Ugly Betty" and "The Jimmy Kimmel Show," among many others.
Proops has popped up in surprising places on television and theater screens, providing the personality-packed voices for cartoon Bob the Builder, and in "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace," "Brother Bear" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
His online autobiography says Proops "cares like Bono" (from the band U2), and has laid his comedy skills on the line for charity, performing for the troops overseas with the USO as part of the Improv All-Stars. Proops also hosted the American Civil Liberties Union's rally to stop torture with Rep. Dennis Kucinich and the Director of Amnesty International USA.

Shawn is the most efficient and accommodating person I have ever had to deal with on our many travels! If our kitchen was missing something, he would lend us his personal items!
The unit was comfortable and had A/C (other units in this complex had old A/C and were breaking). We had a ceiling fan and a floor fan which kept it cool. The unit itself is tired and ready for an updo, the sofa being the worst to live with. Having said this, they are scheduling it for an apholstering - a good thing.
The complex is kept very clean with maintenance happening almost daily. The pools (2 large pools, a jacuzzi (not hot), and 2 childrens pools) were kept very clean and a delight to cool off in when temperatures are high.
Our neighbours were all great and we met some interesting friends to socialize with.
We are coming back hopefully next year as the town of Jaco meets our needs and we felt very safe here. Many restaurants to choose from and good food.
Shawn is an outstanding host. He made sure to drop by and give me a detailed orientation of Playa Jaco with a map and a sharpie. Shawn also is a surfer so I was able to pick up some local knowledge.
The place was clean, safe and nice. I'd highly recommend Shawn as a host and a trip to Playa Jaco.
Shawn was very friendly. We checked in and it was nice of him to take his time to recommend us places to go and avoid. We had a nice stay at his condo. Go check out Tsunami sushi while your there too.
Shawn was very helpful and pleasant. The first day he guided me thru the map where everything I needed was locataed. very nhice experience
Shawn is a gentleman ! He is very helpful and always there to give you greats tips. The condo is nice and close to everythings in Jaco. The condo complex is awesome and secure by guards at the entrance. I highly recommend this place !
Our best accommodations in Costa Rica! After a rather disappointing stay in the Caribbean side of CR, we came to Jaco with low expectations. We had prepared for the worst - prostitutes, drugs, loudness, dirtiness, etc. Well, I can assure you that NONE of that was apparent during our stay, and Shawn's little 1 bed vacation home was incredible! The place literally has everything you need and more. It is a home away from home - the kitchen is fully outfitted (coffee maker, toaster, microwave, etc.), the shower actually has hot water, the bedroom has AC, the TV had cable, the room has a working telephone! With high ceilings and plenty of light, we were hardpressed not to consider moving here permanently after our wonderful stay. The location is also excellent. It's just north of Downtown Jaco, so it's away from the noise and busy-ness, but it's only a 5 minute walk away from great restaurants and is literally across the street from the beach. Just thinking about this place makes me want to return!
The place was great! It was clean, it had A/Ca kitchen, and shower was nice. Shawn, the host, was helpful, like other comments said he sits with you t give you helpful tips about the town. Go see Villa Caletas for the sunset, even if cloudy its worth it. I every much enjoyed my stay and would go back again!
Shawn was an excellent host. As everyone has mentioned, he went over a map of Jaco with us and showed us places to eat, things to do, etc. He also booked our tours for us and got us a great deal on a canopy tour. Towards the end of our stay, we had to leave a day early because of a death in the family. This was very unexpected, but shawn reserved a shuttle to get us to the airport, and he even offered us money in case we couldn't afford the travel tax. This went beyond my expectations and I was very impressed.
My girlfriend and I stayed at the Paradise Condo for 4 nights and had a great time. The condo is in the perfect place in Jaco - right on the main street and just a short walk down to the beach. Shawn was a really helpful host. In Jaco there are lots of restaurants and bars, but he has tried them all and knows the best spots, which is super helpful if you're trying to avoid the retired/drunk gringo crowd. Good place for surfers, young people, and relaxing on the beach.
We had a great time staying in this condo. The place is pretty spacious, has all the essentials such as kitchen accessoires, enough towels (beach / bathroom) as well as fast wifi. The condo is very clean, the bed is comfortable and the ac works perfectly. The whole "Las Villas Paraiso"-complex is very quiet and we also enjoyed the pool area. The beach is also just a short walk down the street. Shawn and his wife Hannah were very kind towards us. All their recommendations in terms of restaurants, tours, etc turned out to be awesome! We'd always stay here again!
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.
