The amazing race (805 Criterium Weekend, Part 1)
July 2, 2013 § 4 Comments
With only a handful of minutes to recap this fantastic weekend, I'm going to be succinct because there's so much to say.
– Thanks to Mike Hecker for putting together an event that will surely grow to be the best bike racing in Southern California.
– Thanks to the City of Buellton. You have a lovely town, friendly people, and an egg-frying dry heat that will separate the wheat from the chaff in one or two laps.
– Thanks to the City of Lompoc. You too have a lovely town, friendly people, and a challenging course that is hard and safe and windy enough to blow a fleet of tall ships all the way to Japan.
– Thanks to Gordie and to Steve Hegg. You guys are a ton of fun and great announcers.
– Thanks to the Firestone Walker Brewery. You make great beer, and the beer garden added a wonderful relaxing touch that just drew people in. The location in the heart of each crit course made it spectacular.
– "Tough guy" / "Tough gal" bike racers who missed this event: You're not that tough. This was real bike racing on brutally hard but short courses that included wind, heat, slight elevation, and something more complex than four turns around a square. The crowds were enthusiastic, the prize money amazing, the ambiance of the host towns fun beyond belief…this is what bike racing is supposed to be. Show up next year and show us what you've got.
– Thanks again to Mike Hecker for putting together two fast, hard, safe courses. There wasn't a single crash in two full days of racing.
– Thanks to the myriad sponsors who kicked in cash and prizes. Legit prize list for the pros on Saturday? $7,500. Compare that to the nickels and warm spit you'll win in Ontario's pro race.
–Props to Alan Flores, my SPY-Giant-RIDE teammate who dismantled the field in the 45+ Old Dudes' Race. Props to John Hatchitt for playing henchman, and to teammates Taylor Fenstermacher, Andy Schmidt, Bill Lupo, and Jimbo for coming out and busting things up.
–Hats off to Thurlow Rogers and Mark Noble, two hellacious bike racers who proved their mettle over two hard days of racing.
–Kudos to Phil Tinstman and Chris Walker who busted loose on Lap 2 of the 35+ and held it for 70 minutes. Only 20 riders finished their race, so viciously hard was the course and the competition.
–Hats off to Rudy Napolitano, general buttwhomper, winner of the 35+ race on Sunday and 3rd Place finisher on Saturday after attacking 10,000 times and generally shredding the field.
–Props to Surf City Cyclery racer John Slover who made the split and the podium on Saturday, and rode two great races on Sunday as well. Props also to Charon Smith, the man who's not afraid to go out and compete even when the cards are stacked against him. I wish every bike racer had that guy's guts, kindness, and good grace. He's as honorable and friendly in defeat as he is in victory.
–Ben Jacques-Mayne thrashed the field on Saturday and won the pro race on Sunday by lapping the field. Amazing rides by Mr. Forbes from Arizona, Brandon Gritters, and a host of other pros.
–Super performance in the 35+ by Derek Brauch, the dude who does a little bit of everything. He rode off with the split and stayed with the leaders until the very end, when a devastating Rudy Napolitano Tailwind Acceleration peeled the skin off of his face and relegated him to a still-impressive 6th Place.
–Knife fight in the mud between Aaron Wimberley and Mike Easter for ascendancy in the SoCal Cup. Aaron had difficulties reading his gas gauge on the way up Saturday and ran out of fuel, thereby missing the Saturday 35+ race and ceding points to his rival. However, on Sunday he dogged Easter's every move and wrapped it up with a slim one-point lead. Don't think Easter is going to let it go as easily as all that…
– Big win on Sunday in the 45+ race by big German Armin Rahm. Armin got away with the elite break that included Thurlow, Brett Clare, Slover, Steve Gregarios, and another rider or two, then smoked the breakaway in the sprint.
– John Abate won the "mismatched kit and bike award," riding now for SPY-Giant-RIDE but still pedaling the green Masi of his former team. The color clash must have added fuel to the pistons, because he finished the 35+ race on Sunday with an awesome 4th Place. He bridged the gap from hell, leaping out of the charging field to finally hook up with the loaded break that included Rudy et al.
– Chris DeMarchi showed his impeccable form and strength on Saturday and Sunday, finishing solo between the break and the field on Saturday, and riding herd on the pack as he blocked for his teammates in the break on Sunday.
– Suze Sonye…wow! Third in the pro race on Saturday, top step on Sunday. If she's not the best racer to come out of SoCal, who is?
– Michelle Ignash scored third for Helen's on Saturday in the women's 3-4 and won the same event on Sunday.
– The list goes on and on of all the racers who rode hard and did well, and by failing to list them all here I'm sure I'll offend those who performed valiant deeds of glory only to go ignored or unnoticed in this blog which, on a good day, may have as many as three readers.
– Hats off as well to the flailers and wankers who got shelled, quit, gave up, collapsed from heat stroke, or bailed out early so they could swap the pain for the good, cold beer.
Hope you'll put this race series on your calendar next year. It's a winner.
Me, my brother, and my bike
June 27, 2012 § 22 Comments
Yesterday's New Pier Ride was dedicated to my brother, who took his life on June 16, 2012. Slightly more than seventy people rolled out from the Manhattan Beach Pier at 6:40 AM. By the time we turned onto Westchester Parkway, the peloton was easily a hundred strong.
Christine Reilly, Stella Tong, Greg Leibert, Lauren Mulwitz, Joe Yule, Vickie VanOs Castaldi, Izzie VanOs Castaldi, Chris Gregory, Tink, Suze Sonye, Jay Yoshizumi, Brian Perkins, Gus Bayle, Rahsaan Bahati, Cary Alpert, Sarah Mattes, Greg Seyranian, Dara Richman, and David Perez brainstormed and got the word out so that people were at the Pier well in advance of the start time. Vickie and Greg took the sixty-five handmade armbands, beautifully lettered by Izzie with "R.I.P. Ian, '62-'12" and tied one to each person's arm. Then Dave Kramer introduced Greg, who made a short, moving, and beautiful speech about my brother, someone he had never met.
I then clipped in and led us out onto the bike path. Once I pulled off and floated to the back, I was overcome by the sight of the countless yellow armbands fluttering in the breeze. My friends had done this for me, as well as people I'd never even met, like Emily and her boyfriend Chris, who came over from the west side just to be there. Others who couldn't make it like Dara and Laurie were there in spirit, and still others showed up at TELO in the evening and shared their sympathies and condolence. I'll never be able to repay any of them.
It's a very good debt to owe, forever.
Girls and bikes
I got into cycling as a result of my brother, indirectly. His second year of high school he got in a horrific fight with my mom about the car. Our parents had divorced a couple of years before, and it was the kind of hateful, acrimonious, bitter divorce that paralyzes the kids and poisons your life for the next few decades, like battery acid in the ice cream. Ian was tired of fighting over the car and one day he went out and bought a black
Fuji touring bike. It cost $300, an incomprehensible amount of money.
Going from a Jeep Golden Eagle Cherokee to a bicycle? I had one conclusion: "Dork."
Within a couple of weeks, though, I discovered the source of his inspiration. His girlfriend was a cyclist, and they biked everywhere together. "Whatever," I thought. "He's still a dork."
Then a couple of weeks after that I began to hear moaning and groaning coming out of his bedroom. This was way before Internet porn. This was awesome, and he was a dork no more. "What a stud!" I thought. "That bike deal is pretty cool!"
Buses and bikes
Although I didn't rush out and get a bike to aid in the quick dispatch of my virginity, the idea remained that bikes were cool. This was partly because Ian had let me test ride his Fuji a few times, and it was so different from the rusted out Murray that I'd used for three years to commute to Jane Long Junior High that it hardly felt like a bicycle.
My freshman year in college at the University of Texas, 1982, my parents refused to let me have a car. I lived in the Village Glen Apartments out on Burton, six or seven miles from campus, and had to take the shuttle bus, which in those days was run by union-busting Laidlaw. They employed only hippy stoners from the 60's and 70's to drive the buses, and paid just enough to keep the hippies in weed, ensuring that there would never be any unionizing.
The Village Glen was one of the last bus stops on the Riverside Route before getting on I-35 and going to campus, so in the morning the buses were often full. That meant having to get out to the bus stop extra early, as the first bus or two rarely had room for even one more passenger. One morning in October I was standing in the rain waiting for the bus. The first one passed me and splashed me. The second one passed me. The third one roared by with an "Out of Service" sign on the front.
I screamed at the driver and flipped him off. He braked. I'd never seen a whole bus go sideways. Out bounded the raging hippy, fists balled and murder in his eyes. If I hadn't been so tiny and petrified he would have killed me. Instead he screamed. "How about I beat you into a fucking pulp you snotnosed little fuck?" he roared.
"Uh, I, I, I'm really sorry. Please don't kill me!" I begged.
"You ever fucking give me any attitude on a bus I'm driving I'll break you in half you little prick. They don't pay me enough in this shit job to put up with bullshit from spoiled little assholes like you!"
"Yes, sir," I mumbled.
[To crack dealer] "So, should I start using crack?"
I had to wait another twenty minutes in the cold, pelting rain. During those twenty minutes I went from being grateful that I'd get to school with all of my teeth to angry at being a bus sheep. My resentment built throughout morning classes and exploded in an epiphany when my last course finished at noon. "I'm gonna buy a fucking bike, just like my brother did! Fuck Laidlaw! Fuck that hippy stoner fucker! Fuck the rain!"
I practically ran down 24th Street to Freewheeling Bicycles and Crackhouse, where I realized something else after walking the aisle. "Fuck, I'm broke!"
Fortunately, Uncle Phil Tomlin had just the bike for me, a Nishiki International with Suntour derailleurs, Dia Compe brakes, and Sugino cranks. At a paltry $375.00, I'd be able to easily afford it as long as I didn't eat in November. Food or bike? It was an easy choice, especially with Uncle Phil kindly and professionally assisting me with my first bikecrack purchase.
The rest is history, and a year later I'd already been voted "Most Likely to be Killed by a Car or Truck" by my riding buddies. 1984 was my breakout year, when I dominated the Bloor Road to Blue Bluff Time Trial and won a coveted Laverne and Shirley board game for first place. The thirty years after buying that first bike have flown by, and somehow I'm still riding with the same happiness and joy as the day I pedaled that Nishiki out of the Freewheeling parking lot.
This is gonna hurt me and it's gonna hurt you
So this thing that has given me more joy and happiness, this thing that has surrounded me with friends who are often closer than family, is a gift from my brother. I thought about that while Greg spoke. He paid me the ultimate compliment in the process, saying that they had come to honor my brother because without him, I wouldn't be part of their community.
There's no other way to say this than to say I felt more loved than I have ever felt in my life. Sweaty, muscled men threw their arms around me, and sweaty, muscled, beautiful women did, too, each one saying something that sounded like love, regardless of the words. And as proof that these weren't just empty phrases, when we hit the bottom of Pershing they went so hard so fast that I was almost blinded by the pain.
"This one," Jaeger said as he came by with the ferocity of a jungle beast, "is for Ian."
There's a place for gentleness and for camaraderie; it's called the bricks on the Manhattan Beach Starbucks after the ride. The New Pier Ride itself is a place for the unbridled beatdown, the relentless attacking into the wind, the crushing of the weak by the strong.
"Memorial lap in silence?"
"Fuck you, dude."
"Give ol' Wankmeister the win?"
"Over my dead body. He wouldn't want it and I wouldn't give it."
Suffice it to say that today I was the weak, and others were the strong, and the law of the jungle prevailed, as it always should. But even though I was the weak and struggled at the end, I didn't get crushed. I got carried along by the unlikeliest thing of all, a raft of soft yellow ribbons floating in the breeze.

Slip this lightweight quilted cover over any old dog bed to bring new life into your home or travels. Made from a Microtomic nylon Ripstop and 140 msg Polytech fill, this cover is durable yet cozy. Extra large zipper opening for easy on and off; and even has a special zipper pocket to hold reminders of home.
Posted by Kristin on 17th Mar 2014
Worked exactly as advertised -- I simply stuffed an old bed with a hole ripped in it, into the doggie duvet. The original bed was a little larger than the duvet and it still fit fine.
My only suggestion would be to make the doggie duvet in a softer material. It does make some noise as the dogs are settling into it, and they are spoiled so they prefer fuzzy textured beds.
Posted by Cece on 14th Jan 2014
I love the fabric of the cover - definitely "rip-stop", but the zipper seemed weak and has already broken. My dog likes to "knead" his bed before laying down and I was glad the fabric was durable and does not pill, but the zipper opened and I cannot get it to zip again.

No money at Mo Money?
- Written by Tri-State Defender Newsroom
- Published in News
Despite the avalanche of problems facing Mo Money Taxes, co-owner Derrick Robinson says that any fears the company will be closed down by the challenges are unwarranted.
by Tony Jones
Special to the Tri-State Defender
Despite the avalanche of problems facing Mo Money Taxes, co-owner Derrick Robinson says that any fears the company will be closed down by the challenges are unwarranted and that anyone owed a refund will get "every cent coming to them."
Robinson's declaration came Wednesday (Feb. 8) afternoon. But by nightfall came the news that Mo Money Taxes could be facing a federal investigation.
A formal letter of apology from Mo Money, which sought the media's help to circulate the letter, attempts to explain the trouble customers have encountered, but it may be a case of too little, too late.
A joint letter from 9th District Rep. Steve Cohen and Virginia Congressman Bobby Scott has been dispatched to the U.S. Justice Department seeking an investigation into numerous complaints. "When you file with Mo Money what you gets is NO money," one irate customer told a television reporter.
Addressed to U.S. Attorney Eric Holder, the Cohen-Scott letter states:
"We write to ask for an immediate investigation and all other appropriate actions by your office to address the apparently fraudulent and criminal actions of the 'Mo Money Taxes' operation in Norfolk, Virginia and vicinity, and in Memphis, Tennessee and vicinity. Complaints by many who recently obtained the help of Mo Money Taxes in filing their returns range from lack of information as to the status of their returns to outright fraudulent filings and bounced checks issued for refunds due filers. The full extent of the problem is not known, but as attached news reports reflect, hundreds of people have been victimized.
Cohen on Wednesday told The New Tri-State Defender that he learned of Mo Money's problems "from calls to my office and through the media when I was home over the weekend. Congressman Scott had already mentioned it to me when we were in a judiciary meeting, saying he was going to call me, and that he was preparing a letter because there was a problem in his district in Virginia."
Robinson said when the matter is resolved Mo Money is going to come back strong as ever. "People are going to find out in the end that these problems have been exaggerated and we are not the cause of it."
Media reports paint a picture of a lot more people having problems than really are, he said.
"There have been problems and we will address them, but if people will take the time to do their homework – I certainly would if it was my money – they will find out that what we are saying is true. There has been a snowball effect following the IRS updating its system," Robinson said.
"Our software vendor and our bank have experienced problems from that change and we just continue to try to work them out. Some people love to clown and it entertains the media when they do, but it does nothing to fix the problem. What you really are seeing is a classic case of a problem being blown out of proportion and dumped on a black-owned company."
The Internal Revenue Service has notified taxpayers several times that any returns filed before Jan. 26 would be delayed due to new software being installed to ensure better safety. The alert is carried on its website.
Christian Davis, president of Olympic Tax Service, said the IRS did notify customers that there would be a week's minimal delay in issuing refunds.
"After we complete our processing, it goes to an E-File center, and the refunds are drained from the system three times per day. They (Mo Money) may have additional internal issues that are causing them problems," said Davis. "The bank they may be using may not be as well known, and there's so much (check) fraud in Memphis it makes banks and check cashing companies leery, and it may be difficult for them to verify."
Mo Money's Markey Granberry has said that the firm has had additional software problems.
Violent confrontations have forced several Mo Money offices to close their doors.
In its letter of apology, Mo Money states, "We hope that we can send our Licensees and staff back into their places of employment to continue to serve our loyal clientele, safely and securely. And, that all involved parties will give the truth a chance to come forth without further instigation."

The student pilot and certified flight instructor were not injured. The helicopter sustained substantial damage. Visual Meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the local flight. The instructional flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.The flight instructor stated that the student pilot, who had 13 hours of total flight time, completed the run-up and the pre-takeoff check, and lifted the helicopter into a hover. As they started to hover-taxi forward, the student suddenly applied left cyclic, and the left skid struck the ground. The instructor stated that before he could overpower the student, the helicopter went into a dynamic rollover, and came to rest on its left side, with the engine and rotors stopped. Damage consisted of the main rotors, tail rotor, tail boom and left side of the cabin.

An independent panel has now been established to review two articles published in The BMJ by John Abramson and colleagues and Aseem Malhotra. Last week, the authors withdrew a statement in their articles about the side effects of statins after it was found to be incorrect.
The draft terms of reference and membership of the panel are now available on bmj.com.
The panel will be chaired by Iona Heath, former chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners and of The BMJ's ethics committee, and will have six other members:
Stephen Evans, professor of pharamcoepidemiology at the London School of Hygeine and Tropical Medicine
Curt Furberg, professor emeritus of public health sciences at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, North Carolina
Julia Hippisley-Cox, professor of epidemiology and general practice at the University of Nottingham
Harlan Krumholz, Harold H. Hines Jr. professor of medicine (cardiology) and professor of investigative medicine and of public health (health policy) at Yale School of Medicine
Cynthia Mulrow, senior deputy editor at Annals of Internal Medicine and adjunct professor of medicine at Texas University of Health Science Center
Paul Wilks, vice president of innovation, Patients Like Me
The panel's remit will be to consider whether either or both articles should be retracted and to review and comment on the process by which the articles were published. The panel will also review and comment on how criticisms and complaints against the articles were raised, and how the journal responded.
The panel will then make recommendations to The BMJ's editor in chief in a report by 31 July 2014 that will be published on bmj.com.
To ensure full accountability and transparency, all submissions to the panel and all documents used by the panel will be placed in the public domain on bmj.com, either at the time of submission or as part of the panel's final report.
Panel members and all those submitting information to the panel will also make full declarations of their interests, which will also be published on bmj.com.

November 26, 2014
Topeka, Kan. (WIBW) - Since Memorial Day is the unofficial kick off to summer, The Propane Marketers Association of Kansas has released tips to keep you safe when grilling.
Make sure to read and follow the manufacturer's instructions before turning on and lighting the grill. Keep the lid open until you are sure the grill is lit.
Turn off the burner control and close the cylinder valve. When the grill is not in use for an extended period of time, cover disconnected hose-end fittings with plastic bags or protective caps to keep them clean.
Replace the igniter in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction if it no longer works.
Store propane cylinders in an up right position outside.
If you smell gas, and it is safe to do so, turn the cylinder valve to the right to turn it off. If you cannot turn it off, leave the area immediately and call 911 or the local fire department. Have a qualified service technician inspect the grill before you use it again.
Make sure to consult a qualified technician if you are having any problems with the grill or the propane cylinder.

Skate Group Takes 'Tetris' to the Streets
It was only a matter of time, really, before mankind witnessed the glorious nexus of extreme sports and classic video games. And, much like other, similarly epoch-making events, the fruits of such a marriage could not have been more sublime.
Some skaters from San Francisco have put together a stunning video of their escapades, in which they cavort up and down the hills of the city on their boards, with massive, neon-illuminated 'Tetris' "blocks" attached to their heads (video after the break). The visuals of the brilliant neon against a San Fran street-scape are mesmerizing, while a pulsating electro score and elegant editing only heighten the sensory experience. Perhaps most impressive is the skaters' ability to somehow interlock themselves into a 'Tetris' mosaic at the end.
It's always refreshing when someone toys with the standard 'Tetris' medium in new, aesthetically pleasing (or sometimes bizarre) ways. This particular rendition of reality video gaming certainly isn't replicable by the uncoordinated, non-glow-stick-owning population, at large. But the fact that an entire mini-genre of viral performance art has sprouted up around a cultural touchstone as basic and technologically ancient as 'Tetris' speaks, above all, to the astounding game's astounding timelessness. As with a contemporary hip-hop artist sampling a classic Motown hook, any nod to and reinvention of a bygone era never fails to bring a smile to our faces. [From: StreetLevel]

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- If you're a Packers season-ticket holder, you'll be finding out in the next few days whether you've won a conditional drawing for two Super Bowl tickets.
The team says the drawing was conducted last week, and winners are being notified this week. All season-ticket holders were eligible, whether their account was a club seat or part of the Green or Gold packages.
The tickets would be valid only if Green Bay gets to the Super Bowl. If that happens, drawing winners will be allowed to buy a pair of tickets at $850 apiece. Payment would be due by Jan. 17 at 5 p.m.
The Packers say they can't reveal the number of tickets that would be available, citing league confidentiality rules.

My First (And Last) Trip to Rafa's
Last night, my family and I visited Rafa's for the first time. I know this place is beloved by Park Cities families, as evidenced by the large number of them who were there when we were. But I judge a restaurant by how easy it makes my life as a parent, and Rafa's failed in that regard.
Our kids were waiting on water for close to 10 minutes after the adults at the table had their drinks. This is especially a problem when the salsa is as spicy as it is at Rafa's. Once the drinks did arrive, they were a guaranteed mess, because the kitchen had run out of lids.
Perhaps in an attempt to make up for the drinks snafu, the boys' meals were brought out early. But they were so early that my oldest son had finished his dinner before my plate arrived, providing me the fun experience of defending my rice and beans from constant attacks by his spoon.
The one thing I can say for Rafa's on the kid-friendliness front was that the waiter offered up spoons for the kids to eat with, without my wife and I having to ask first, as we have to at most restaurants. But the overall experience was far too stressful to risk repeating.
Perhaps we just visited on an off night? Perhaps you want to defend the honor of this Park Cities institution. Feel free to savage me in the comments. Or vote for Rafa's on the People's Choice ballot that will appear in this week's paper. If enough of you do, I'll be forced to write something nice about the place when we name the winners in January.
37 comments to "My First (And Last) Trip to Rafa's"
Small family owned business is a dying breed. I can't imagine that you would use your job to slam a small business especially during hard times…it's just wrong!!
Off nights happen…
[…] Read more. […]
Dan – definitely an off night! Rafa's is very kid-friendly, even for toddlers. You should give them another chance.
You just have to expect the overall experience to be a little hectic. It is a great restaurant, with great food, and a good staff that is more than accomodating and usually not a 10 minute water wait. Going between 5-7:45; expect noise, possibly a wait, and plenty of kids. Love it and will continue to go on a regular basis. As a heads up, if you ever call in an order for pick-up, they will tell you 20-30 minutes; but, regardless of when you show up, just expect them to not have the order ready and you will have another 10 minute wait for them to put it together.
"But I judge a restaurant by how easy it makes my life as a parent…."
Ah, a connoisseur of the king, the clown, and the colonel. Why can't Rafa's have a slide and ball pit?
I've never had a bad experience at Rafa's and have been taking my children there for years. As far as defending your beans and rice, teach your child to eat off his own plate – share yours with him or order him more. Do it now and you will have less stressful meals in the future.
I too think you hit them on an off night- but you asked for suggestions also. I know its a chain- but Chuy's was always a great choice for us when the kids were small (noisy- and they have plenty of distractions as well as cups with lids) Also, Prego pasta house. They bring a ball of dough for the kids to play with while waiting for dinner to arrive. Primo's also, since they have paper and crayons.
You should not blame the restaurant for your kids unruly behavior. And if your kids are hard to handle, you should bring equipment to keep them in line. It is not the restaurant's job to baby sit your "kids".
I love it when someone brings in their darling tot, who decides to start screaming during dinner, disrupting the entire restaurant, and then blames the restaurant for not being kid friendly.
Face it, you kids are not restaurant friendly
Stay Home until your kids know how to behave in a restaurant.
We would all appreciate it.
I love Rafa's! We almost always order it to go, and I agree with Avid Reader, never ready when you get there, but at least it's hot. I say give it another shot-and maybe bring a drink for the kids just in case.
As for Eater, back off a bit! I agree with your second paragraph, but Dan never implied that his kids were unruly. He said there were no lids, which was a mess waiting to happen, and his son was eating off of his plate. Not sure how that would hinder your eating experience there.
I don't think a couple of timing issues is enough to say "This place isn't kid friendly". During one visit, something arrived late and something arrived early. Compared to other issues that a restaurant could have (bad food, rude waiters, giving your kid small swords to use instead of spoons), I think what you experienced is fairly minor.
Let's review, critic takes his childern, who aren't old enough to use forks or drink from glasses to a restaurant. He has no complaint about food, environment, etc. He's just upset that the waiter didn't babysit his little darlings.
"Love the sound of helicopter parents in the morning."
Hint: The world doesn't revolve around you kids.
As a former waiter, you little darlings didn't get water because they would have dumped it all over the table, chairs, creating a even bigger hassle because then the waiter has to clean up you kids mess while apologizing to you for your kids behavior.
I don't have kids but love that place, all I can say is don't go during peak hours, it's a madhouse. Also consider every other family in Park Cities brings their kids there so that's quite a lot of kids that they are dealing with during dinner time.
When Dan said, "Feel free to savage me in the comments," lots of you took it to heart. His kids weren't unruly, the restaurant is known as kid-friendly, and the timing of his service was off. He wasn't trying to slam a local business in hard times, but was just asking if he hit an off-night. Answer seems to be yes. I don't understand the vitriol.
Well now Danny, you opened up a whole can of worms now, didn't you?
So you judge a restaurant by how easy it makes your life as a parent? Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Dan I bet you're one of those people who is constantly complaining at restaurants, right? Next time stay home and cook something for your family, make sure you have lids though, they are very important, and please don't serve the kids first. They might finish their meal and go after yours.
@Joker-spot on!
Dan-you should have just taken your kids to McDonalds..
I'll start by saying I don't have kids. I do, however, judge a restaurant by the quality of the food and service. If you want kid friendly, I think ordering a pizza is a better idea, or getting something to go. Here is the one things that jumped out at me:
"But they were so early that my oldest son had finished his dinner before my plate arrived, providing me the fun experience of defending my rice and beans from constant attacks by his spoon." In my entire childhood, I never once ate off of my parents plate without their permission. I knew there would be consequences. Don't blame the restaurant for that.
The last time I went to Rafa's was about 10 years ago. We left before the waiter even had a chance to bring our drinks, since there was a (living) roach on the table.
Rafa's is a good place to take kids because it's so freakin' loud with all of the kids in there that no one will hear your's anyway. It's not our go-to place, though, because we don't think the food is that great.
One word: Mia's
I've lived in these parts all my life and have only been to Rafa's twice. Both times I was underwhelmed. I much prefer Mia's or Gloria's, and both are very kid-friendly. And El Fenix is da bomb. As they say.
I fail to see how your poor planning is entirely the waiters problem. Bring your own cups if your darlings require a lid still – we do. Instruct the waitstaff to bring all the entrees out at once, instead of when they're ready, or teach your children that manners require you to wait until everyone has been served to begin eating and that if you finish your food and are still hungry, you should politely say so and ask for seconds or a bite of your parent's food.
Yikes, there sure are some mean comments here. Personally, I like Rafa's and have taken my kids there with good results, so I guess I'd have to chalk it up to an off night. Maybe another chance is in order.
for pete's sake,
i went to rafa's once.
There sure are a lot of schoolmarms on this site. Poor Dan! I used to have a little (a lot?) of that in me, until my angels became teenagers. Now I am happy to chew the fat with other parents about the trials and tribulations, rather than play the parent snob. Cheers!
I think and know it must have been an off night. I have been there with kids and all went very smooth. PLEASE GIVE THEM ANOTHER CHANCE! We all have an off day. Writer please grow up!!!!!
Dan, is that headline about it being your last trip to Rafa's a promise? Thanks! And could you please share the other places you'll never go? Yeah, that would be great!
I would guess it would be best for you to stay at home and let your writers take care of bidness……
You sound like the male version of the DMN witch.
Dan, obviously you have never worked at a restaurant.
Dan, don't give up on Rafa's and don't be daunted by all the snarky comments on this post! Your experience does sound like a combo platter of the restaurant having an off night and perhaps you having slightly unrealistic expectations of a peaceful meal with young kids at the table. The queso and cinnamon ice cream are reasons enough to keep Rafa's on your list…I hope you'll give them another chance. Also, if you're ever even slightly hungover, a cup of their queso and a giant iced tea will make it all better. Er, not that I know from personal experience or anything.
Sounds like you have some personal problems and spoiled kids.
I refuse to eat there unless it's at the bar, which i realize people with 2 kids don't do. Waaaayyy too loud with all the kids, probably off night
Love Rafa's. We don't have any kids, but every time my wife and I eat there we see a ton of families eating with kids. The only bad experience I had was when they ran out of their traditional salsa one night and only had warm salsa.
Try Desperado's on Greenville. Long time family owned restaurant, if you have a problem ask to speak to the owners, usually Jake or his dad Jorge. Nicest guys in the world, they'll bend over backwards to fix any issue and the food is fantastic.
Try them on Sunday…
AND DON'T LISTEN TO THOSE HATEFUL PEOPLE! My husband has to ward off MY attempts at his rice and beans!
HATEFUL PEOPLE: Are you and your children THAT perfect?
Mr. Koller,
Piranhas! Run fast! I had a good chuckle over the comments. Lighten up folks, it's expensive to eat out.
I've been preparing a delicious simple Mexican dish from items I buy from Whole Foods. I think it has much less sodium than eating out.
I wish you, your family, and your staff a great Thanksgiving!
I live in the Park Cities and have tried Rafa's twice. It might be a family-friendly atmosphere, but as far as food, I was not impressed!
If given the choice, I'd go to Mi Cocina, Uncle Julio's, or the Cantina Laredo across the street any day.

How The Wire explains Lebanese politics
At the end of the third season of The Wire, the fictional HBO series, a Baltimore drug gang led by Avon Barksdale is arming up to take revenge on a rival gang for the murder of his top lieutenant, Stringer Bell. Barksdale, however, knows that Stringer wasn't killed by the rival gang, but rather had fallen as part of a conspiracy of his own making and tries to explain to his top enforcer what really happened.
But the enforcer, Slim Charles, doesn't want to hear it. Knowing that the gang is in the other room, arming up to go to war over the murder and with a canny understanding of the tribal vengeance dynamic that's in play, Charles cuts off his boss.
"If it's a lie," he empathically tells Avon. "Then we fight on that lie."

GIS Mapping
The primary duties of crime analysts are to provide timely and pertinent information relative to crime patterns and trends to assist departmental personnel. This information serves as a basis for planning deployment of resources for the prevention and suppression of criminal activities, and aids the investigative process.
Personnel within the unit utilize many tools to accomplish this, with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) being one of the most popular. While GIS is a popular tool for analysis, the main function of PARC analysts is to process data and provide timely information so the agency can develop a plan to reduce/ prevent crime and solve problems within the community.

31 December 2009
Looking back at 2009
On climate change (and other areas concerning the environment), we have seen many attempts at improvement struck down through the efforts of those who favor, and benefit from, the status quo -- mining our resources, living above our income, borrowing from the future to consume today. Even worse, that status quo behavior has averse environmental impacts.
On water issues (in California, but also in many other places), we have seen the same "win" for inertia -- and the same destruction of our environment and future for current consumption.
In both cases, and much to my disgust, we see many reasons for change, but no change has happened. Even worse, the costs of change -- even under the worst case scenarios -- are trivial in comparison to the benefits. What's more, those few who have avoided costs would have incurred trivial losses in their amassed wealth; those many who would have benefited would have gained much more, as individuals and in total, with respect to their current -- and future wealth. Alas, they are just as poor now and will be poorer in the future.
Bottom Line: 2009 was a terrible disappointment for those hoping that environmental policies would improve our world.

On the plus side at least one other economist is advocating the pricing of water.
Asit Biswas has a column in the December 28 issue of Forbes magazine that readers of this blog should be interested in.
Bottom Line: Biswas says, "The universal access to clean water will never be realized if water supply is free or heavily subsidized."

@Eric -- I am always available for leaders who wants ideas and are able to make change. Of course, i may have to run for leadership if they fail to take advantage of this offer :)
Blogging is meant to push along the debate, and get some action. But I need money to get staff to make changes. You know where to find me if you have any lying around :)
