In the first moments of 2013, Congress eased the fiscal cliff tax increases for taxpayers earning less than $450,000 by enacting the American Taxpayer Relief Act (Act), permanently extending the Bush-era income tax cuts for this group (President Obama signed the Act into law on Jan. 2).
While the legislation extends the current income tax rates for taxpayers earning less than $450,000 ($400,000 for single filers) per year, it allowed the Bush-era tax cuts to expire for all higher-income taxpayers. Similarly, taxes on capital gains, dividends and estates were increased for the wealthiest taxpayers. Though widespread tax hikes were avoided, all taxpayers should expect to see at least slightly higher taxes in 2013 because both parties agreed to allow the 2% payroll tax cut to expire effective Jan. 1.
The Cliff Compromise Part 1: Income Taxes
The Act essentially prevented tax increases for most taxpayers by extending the Bush-era tax rates for taxpayers earning under $450,000 annually for joint filers, $425,000 for heads of households, $400,000 for singles and $225,000 for marrieds filing separately. Tax rates will rise for individual taxpayers earning those new amounts from 35% to 39.6%. At the most basic level, this will increase the income tax burden for a single taxpayer earning $400,000 annually by about $18,400 per year.
Although the marginal income tax rates were increased only for the wealthiest taxpayers, the expiration of the payroll tax cuts increased the tax burden for all taxpayers effective Jan. 1. The payroll tax cuts, which were put into place in 2011 and later extended through 2012, reduced the 6.2% Social Security payroll tax on wages by 2%. This tax cut was allowed to expire at the end of 2012, resulting in an increase in taxes for all wage earners. The tax applies to the first $113,700 of an employee's wage income for 2013.
Now that the payroll tax cuts have expired, the average American worker earning $50,000 per year will pay approximately $80 per month more in taxes—and high-income employees will see an increase of up to $2,200 per month, on top of the increases in their marginal income tax burden.
The Cliff Compromise Pt. 2: Tax Deductions and Exemptions
Under 2012 law, taxpayers who itemized deductions were allowed a variety of tax deductions—including deductions for mortgage interest, charitable contributions, and state and local taxes—that effectively reduced their income tax burden. In 2012, there was no phaseout of itemized deductions based on AGI, which allowed all taxpayers to deduct larger amounts, thereby reducing taxable income.
Prior to 2010, most itemized deductions were reduced dollar-for-dollar by the lesser of
- 3% of the amount of the taxpayer's AGI that exceeded $166,800, as adjusted annually for inflation ($83,400 for married taxpayers filing separately) or
- 80% of the amount of such itemized deductions otherwise allowable for the tax year.
In 2005, changes to the tax code implemented a provision that gradually reduced the limitation on itemized deductions until it was eventually repealed for 2010-2012. Despite this, this reduction was temporary and was scheduled to expire at the end of 2012—when the limitations on itemized deductions would resume beginning Jan. 1, 2013.
Because the phaseout was allowed to resume in 2013, upper-middle-class and high-net-worth clients who have earned income above the annual threshold levels are limited in the itemized deductions that they are allowed to recognize. The phaseout will begin at $250,000 for single individual taxpayers and $300,000 for married couples filing jointly and surviving spouses. The phaseout results in a substantially higher tax burden for these taxpayers—in addition to the increase in the marginal tax rates agreed upon for this group.
Also, for 2013, the personal exemption phaseout, which had also been suspended, is reinstated, with a threshold for those making $300,000 for joint filers and a surviving spouse; $275,000 for heads of household; $250,000 for single filers; and $150,000 for married taxpayers filing separately. The total amount of exemptions that can be claimed subject to the limitation is reduced by 2% for each $2,500 (or portion thereof) by which the taxpayer's adjusted gross income exceeds the applicable threshold.
Fiscal Cliff Compromise Pt. 3: Capital Gains and Dividends
Like the income tax rates, the favorable tax rates applicable to capital gains and dividends were part of a compromise agreement set to expire at the end of 2012. Under the Act now signed into law, Congress increased the capital gains and dividend tax rates for individual taxpayers earning over $400,000 annually and married couples earning over $450,000, but prevented large increases on this income for lower-income taxpayers.
Under 2012 law, investments held for more than one year (long-term capital gains) were taxed at a maximum rate of 15% for taxpayers in the 25% tax bracket or higher. Taxpayers in the 10% and 15% tax brackets were taxed at 0% on long-term gains recognized in 2012. Similarly to capital gains taxes, dividends were taxed at 0% for taxpayers in the 10% and 15% tax brackets in 2012; taxpayers in higher brackets paid a 15% tax on dividend income.
Prior to the Bush-era tax cuts, capital gains were taxed at 15% or 20%, respectively. Dividend income, however, was taxed as ordinary income, meaning that taxpayers in the highest tax brackets could be taxed nearly 40% on this income.
Congress prevented these substantial increases in the American Taxpayer Relief Act so that dividend income continues to be taxed in the same manner as income from capital gains. For taxpayers who fall within the new 39.6% tax bracket, the 15% rate was increased to 20% effective Jan. 1. When coupled with the new investment income tax (discussed below), the capital gains and dividend rates will rise to 23.8% for high-income taxpayers. Taxpayers who are taxed below 25% will be taxed at 0% on capital gains and dividends, and the 15% capital gains and dividends rate will continue to apply to taxpayers taxed at higher than 25%, but who earn less than the $450,000 ($400,000 for single filers) income threshold. The additional 3.8% tax on net investment income applies as well to arrive at 18.8%.
Fiscal Cliff Compromise Pt. 4: Estate and Gift Tax Rates
In 2012, the maximum estate and gift tax rate was 35% for taxpayers who were not able to shelter their entire estate through the generous $5.12 million exemption. These rates were reached through a series of phased-in reductions in the tax rate and increases in the exemption amount. However, like most of the other tax cuts implemented during the Bush-era, these rates were set to expire effective Jan. 1, 2013, when tax rates would revert to pre-2001 levels. Had the estate tax provisions been allowed to expire, the top tax rate would have reverted to 55% with an exemption level of only $1 million.
The new Act sets the top estate and gift tax rate at 40%, and the exemption was fixed at $5 million as of Jan. 1. As under 2012 law, the $5 million exemption will continue to be indexed annually for inflation. The estate and gift taxes will remain unified, so that the $5 million exemption also applies for gift tax purposes.
Further, the deal continues the estate tax portability provisions that allow a surviving spouse to automatically take advantage of his or her deceased spouse's unused exemption amount. This provision allows a surviving spouse to avoid complicated estate planning by recognizing that gifts between spouses are typically tax-free, and allowing the exemption to be portable between both spouses.
Because the exemption level will permanently remain at its generous 2012 level and will remain portable between spouses, estate planning will be simplified for most families. Even those high-income taxpayers who expect to leave estates in excess of $5 million can plan with certainty.
Fiscal Cliff Compromise Pt. 5: AMT and Credits
The new American Taxpayer Relief Act also:
- Provides a permanent Alternative Minimum Tax patch by increasing exemption amounts and allowing individuals to offset AMT liability with nonrefundable personal credits,
- Extends the American Opportunity Tax Credit as well as many other deductions and exclusions,
- Continues many business tax breaks, such as employment-related and energy-related credits.
Beyond the Act: Investment Income Tax
Separate from the American Taxpayer Relief Act, an additional 3.8% tax on the investment income earned by certain higher-income taxpayers was added as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, aka Obamacare). Under the PPACA, this additional tax becomes effective for gains realized on or after Jan. 1, 2013. Though this tax was not a part of the fiscal cliff negotiations, it will result in a tax increase for many investors.
The 3.8% tax on "unearned income" will affect taxpayers with adjusted gross income ("AGI") of more than $200,000 for single filers or $250,000 for married couples filing jointly.
This 3.8% will be added to the rates currently in effect, increasing the capital gains and dividend tax rates from 20% to 23.8% in 2013 for the wealthiest taxpayers.
Though the tax is deemed to be a tax on unearned investment income, in some circumstances it can apply to a portion of a taxpayers' AGI. In calculating the tax owed, the taxpayer must first determine his or her net investment income for the year. If net investment income is less than the amount by which the taxpayer's AGI exceeds the $200,000/$250,000 threshold, the tax applies to the investment income. If net investment income is greater than the difference between AGI and the threshold amount, the tax applies to the portion of AGI that exceeds the threshold.
Therefore, if a married couple has $300,000 of earnings in 2013, the tax applies to all investment income, but if the couple has $225,000 in earnings and $100,000 in investment income, the tax applies only to the $75,000 because the first $25,000 falls below the $250,000 threshold.
So What Is 'Investment Income'?
Essentially, net investment income is income that is considered "unearned"—meaning income received from investments such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds. Net investment income obviously includes dividends and interest received through investment in these vehicles, but can also apply to income derived from a trust or, in some cases, the sale of a primary residence.
To determine whether the tax applies to the sale of a primary residence, special rules apply. A single taxpayer is permitted to exclude the first $250,000 of capital gain from his or her AGI (the amount is increased to $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly). So, for example, if a married couple purchased a home for $100,000 and later sells it for $700,000, their capital gain is $600,000. The couple would then subtract the $500,000 exclusion and add the $100,000 excess to their AGI. There is no exclusion for a secondary residence.
Amounts received from Social Security, 401(k) plans, IRAs, pensions and similar retirement income is not included in net investment income, though these types of income could still increase AGI above the threshold levels.
Planning Under the Act: How Should Clients Plan for Higher Taxes in 2013?
Though Congress acted to prevent higher taxes for many taxpayers, high-net-worth clients will experience higher taxes in 2013 and beyond. With proper planning, some of this tax burden can be alleviated.
Clients who will become subject to the additional investment income tax can move some of their investments to minimize the impact of the tax. For example, income from municipal bonds is currently exempt from the tax. Gains realized on investments in retirement accounts are also not subject to the additional 3.8% tax and, in many cases, contributions to these accounts can be made with pre-tax dollars that can reduce a client's AGI to below the threshold income levels that trigger the tax.
Higher taxes will also make life insurance a much more attractive investment vehicle in 2013 and beyond. The Act, coupled with the new tax on investment income, has resulted in a substantial tax increase on income received from traditional investments. Because of this, many clients will be looking for ways to realize gain on investments without the corresponding tax burden.
While the primary purpose of life insurance is to provide income for an insured's beneficiaries upon his or her death, certain types of life insurance policies can also function as tax-preferred investment vehicles.
Life insurance policies that provide coverage for an insured's entire life will likely become a more attractive product for clients looking to minimize the tax burden on their investment portfolios. This type of permanent life insurance policy is one that remains in effect for the client's entire life, so long as they continue paying the premiums. While these policies are more expensive than term life insurance, they are guaranteed to provide a death benefit as long as the policy is maintained.
In addition to the guaranteed death benefit, permanent life insurance policies allow the policyholder to accumulate cash in the policy that can be withdrawn tax-free in the future. Much like a Roth IRA, the growth realized on the cash value of the policy is not subject to tax, making these policies a powerful savings vehicle for clients who have already maxed out their contributions to traditional retirement accounts. The longer a client can afford to allow the investment in the product to grow, the greater the investment return that can be realized. Therefore, these products are best suited for long-term investors who have pulled their investments from the equity markets because of the increased capital gains rates.
Whole life policies are a type of permanent life insurance with these investment benefits. At its most basic level, a whole life insurance policy requires that an investor pay a level premium each year and provides for a guaranteed death benefit on the death of the insured. However, these policies also contain an investment component, which is why they can provide a viable alternative for long-term investors. A portion of the premiums paid are invested by the life insurance company issuing the policy, building cash value in the policy that the insured can borrow against. As noted above, premiums may have to be paid into the policy for a long period—sometimes 15 to 20 years—before substantial appreciation on the investment can be seen.
While withdrawals against the cash value of these policies are taken tax-free, they reduce the death benefits payable to the insured's beneficiaries. Further, withdrawals are sometimes taxable—the individual policy should be examined to determine whether the withdrawal is taxable—any withdrawal that exceeds the taxpayer's basis in the policy will be subject to income taxation.
In some cases, if the withdrawal is for more than the policy's cash surrender value, the insurer can also increase the premiums required to maintain the same death benefit under the policy. A substantial increase could cause the policyholder to have trouble meeting premium payments—in which case the policy would lapse and the investment could be lost.
While Congress acted to prevent widespread tax increases for most taxpayers, the reality is that even lower-income taxpayers will see at least slightly higher taxes in 2013. High-income and small-business-owner clients will see the most pronounced increases and will want to take even stronger steps to plan for these changes in 2013.

My mom says I have expensive taste. You wouldn't know it by the stores I go to, such as Marshall's and Loehmann's. Yet, when it comes to eating, I like high quality foods and am more than willing to splurge.
That's why I didn't hesitate to buy saffron. Well, that's not really true. I did hesitate. Not because of the price; because I have an uneasy relationship with saffron. It's sort of like kissing someone, and the "wow" factor just isn't there. You know, he's a nice guy, but there aren't any fireworks. So, you give him another try, and it's great. Then the next time it's only so-so. You know what I mean? That's been my experience with saffron. (Not with guys; Jeff has always been a great kisser).
I'm unequivocal when it comes to food -- when I don't like something, I don't usually try it again. Which is why I'm surprised about my willingness to give saffron another chance. When I first tasted it in a great Indian restaurant, I found its floral overtones unpalatable. I thought I would be put off saffron forever after that. However, another delicious Indian restaurant redeemed saffron for me by serving it in a lovely rice and pea dish. Since then, I've had it in Spanish and Middle Eastern dishes and have begun cooking with it (to mixed results). Yet, the recipe I share today is a keeper. And coming from me, that is high praise.
Given my ambivalence toward saffron, I decided to do a little research. Saffron has been cultivated for over 3000-4000 years. It is used throughout the world, most notably in Asian, Indian, Arab, Spanish, and Moroccan cuisines and can be found in both savory and sweet dishes as well as drinks.
Saffron is extraordinarily expensive at $1000 a pound. (No, I didn't make a mistake with the zeros). Why so pricey? Because saffron is manually picked from the stigmas of the crocus flower. It is incredibly labor and time intensive, as a result. Additionally, it takes a football field's worth of saffron threads to make just 1 pound! Fortunately, only a tiny amount is needed for most recipes, so you don't need a second mortgage on your house to cook with it.
Most chefs and home cooks alike recommend using saffron threads instead of powder to ensure that you are receiving true saffron and superior flavor. The threads should be soaked in water prior to using in the recipe, and suggested soaking times range from 20 minutes to several hours. I soaked mine for 2 hours (see recipe).
In this recipe, the saffron was fragrant (not overpoweringly so) and slightly smoky. I loved it in the creamy sauce, which was satisfying yet not too rich. For a vegetarian version, simply omit the shrimp, which is how I ate it.
I also recommend using fresh English peas (see my pea primer for more). Just look at these perfectly round, shiny peas nestled together. They are sweet-natured and delicate and should be treated with care. That's why I add them at the end of the cooking process. The heat from the sauce cooks them enough; overcooking peas not only makes them mushy but also depletes them of their nutrients, including Vitamins C and K.
I am submitting this post to Kalyn of Kalyn's Kitchen, the founder of the ever-popular Weekend Herb Blogging. Incidently, I am pleased to announce that I will be hosting Weekend Herb Blogging here July 9-15.
Pasta Shells in Creamy Saffron Sauce with Shrimp and Fresh Peas
Print recipe only here.
8 ounces pasta shells
1 tsp saffron threads
3 tsp water
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp butter
2 cups milk (whole or low-fat)
2 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp dry white wine
2 cups fresh shelled English peas
Salt and pepper, to taste
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
24-28 extra large or jumbo shrimp
Cook pasta in salted water according to instructions.
Place 1 tsp saffron threads in a small bowl with 3 tsp water, and let rest for a minimum of 2 hours; the threads will swell in size. If you don't have the time, then use this quick soak method. When you are ready to add the saffron to the sauce, just drain the water, but don't crush the threads. Since saffron is intensely flavored, I suggest adding just a few threads at time and tasting as you go until you get the desired amount.
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter. Add shallots, and sauté 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add milk and flour, and stir until well combined and sauce begins to thicken and bubble. (I used low-fat milk, but whole milk's added fat would make an even creamier consistency). Add white wine and a pinch of the prepared saffron threads. Add the fresh shelled peas to the sauce, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, turning to ensure that they brown evenly on both sides.
Add the cooked pasta and shrimp to the saffron sauce, and toss well to coat. Gently heat through, and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
BTW-I just found a delicious sweet saffron pilaf dish that Kate made over at Kate in the Kitchen.

Kindergarten, first- and second-grade students at Dolores Elementary School were told to stay home Wednesday as a crew set out to repair water damage that occurred over the weekend.
Heavy rains, in combination with cold weather resulted in a flood in the kindergarten, first- and second-grade wing of the Dolores Elementary School.
School officials arrived at the school Monday morning to discover that four classrooms on the east side of the wing had been flooded and water had stretched across the hallway.
Principal Sherri Maxwell said it was school as usual on Monday and Tuesday as students in the affected rooms were divided and placed in the non-affected rooms.
"The students were amazing," said First-Grade Teacher Shirley Tourjee.
She added that the students took the damage and combining classrooms in stride.
As the heavy rain fell over the weekend, cold weather also created ice dams, explained Maxwell. The water then seeped under the walls. Experts were called in to assess the damage and by then, water had seeped as much as two feet up into the walls.
"We were concerned about the walls," Maxwell said.
Experts were called in to take a look. And that is when school was called off for the day.
The baseboards were removed from every wall and large holes were drilled every six inches along the base of the walls to help moisture escape the walls. Bravo, a cleaning and restoration company out of Cortez, was called to do this work, which including spraying a substance that would inhibit the growth of mold in the walls.
Maxwell said that by Thursday, 80 percent of the water was out of the rooms and was safe for children to be back in the classrooms.
Fans will continue to dry out the walls over the weekend, Maxwell said.
Maxwell added that the recently voter-approved BEST grant and matching bond will go to fix drainage issues on the school campus.
"Drainage was a huge part of the grant," Maxwell said. "We struggle with rain in this building."
The estimated damages by the flood are in the thousands. But surprisingly, not too much, other than the wet carpets and walls, was damaged.
"We lost a few bookshelves," Maxwell said.
Some books were also chalked up as losses and on Wednesday, books sat open everywhere in Maxwell's office, in an attempt to dry them out.
Business Manager Karen Andrews said work on the drainage issues will likely begin this summer.
"We will be fixing all this, this summer," Superintendent Scott Cooper said. "It is all about drainage out of that courtyard."
This is a challenge because of the campus' location.
"Our campus sits on the old river bed," Cooper said.

Summer Promotional Items
Beach items make great gifts and giveaways because recipients of all ages and backgrounds can use them to enhance a summertime excursion and make any trip to the ocean or lake more memorable and exciting. For example, an inflatable ball provides hours of fun for sunbathers of any age, and can even be a source of amusement when lounging poolside or at the waterfront on a towel or stadium seat. Frisbees, footballs, toys and other beach items provide hours of entertainment for loyal employees and will attract the attention of all potential customers that are lying on the sand. In addition, recipients can use these items at a local hangout or pack them up and take them on their next vacation. However, you and your recipients choose to utilize them, no summer getaway is complete without the fun and functional these items provide.

Thankyou Velouria! With Yehuda Moon out of commission, this is just the thing. And since she doesn't have to meet a daily deadline, hopefully she won't burn out.ReplyDelete
Ecovelo has just done the same thing, so I was on the hunt for new favorites.
While bikeyface seems geared to the women out there in bicycle land I find some her humor to be funny enough to read the blog once in awhile..ReplyDelete
I saw the helmet in the first photo and before I even started reading thought "that looks like the Bikeyface lady!"ReplyDelete
I certainly second Velouria's recommendation of Bikeyface (which I found through this blog) it's a fun read.
- AnonymousDecember 6, 2011 at 12:24 PM
Great bike, great sense of humor, great blog, and cute! I want to see her paintings!ReplyDelete
Nice try, but this is you with a hair cut.ReplyDelete
Also not her because no hair on the helmet.
Stuff I learned from her blog: it's about hair.
I knew you would say that Jim, so here is a picture of us together. Also, I cut my hair specifically to experiment with whether motorists would treat me differently.ReplyDelete
I saw the photo posted on Twitter yesterday with the two of you together, and I have to admit that I thought the same thing as Jim... you kind of do look like you could be sisters. Maybe you are just kindred spirit sisters. :O) Regardless, it's nice to see the face behind Bikeyface.ReplyDelete
You would, but I don't recognize the person on the left - she's laughing.ReplyDelete
Had long hair once; men looked like they wanted to puke when I turned around.
"Had long hair once; men looked like they wanted to puke when I turned around."ReplyDelete
Wish I didn't have a mouthfull of tea when I read this.
That's funny that Bekka & I come aross as looking alike, we don't really; I have different facial features, proportions and mannerisms. In person and when I had long hair, I would also get confused with Susan whenever we were both at Harris Cyclery, at least from a distance and from the back. Maybe I am one of those chameleon people who can look like anyone in the right light.
Hilarious blog!ReplyDelete
Love it!!
- AnonymousDecember 6, 2011 at 1:15 PM
I don't think you look alike, but there is something in the eyes. Love the gears pendant and her blouse! I don't wear a helmet, but if I did that would be the one. Is it a Bern?ReplyDelete
Anon - I think it is a Giro helmet.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 6, 2011 at 1:22 PM
What kind of helmet is that? I've never seen one like it before. Very fashionable and no bubble-head!ReplyDelete
Hello Bekka Bikey Face! V, in that picture of the two of you together, you kinda look like Angela Chase.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this personalization. It's always interesting to meet the people behind my favorite blogs!ReplyDelete
Ooh thanks, I love Angela Chase. I am growing my bangs out and feeling very 90s in general : )ReplyDelete
Giro helmet, confirmed. Search for "giro houndstooth"
- AnonymousDecember 6, 2011 at 1:44 PM
I read that some girl started a new comic strip that's similar to Yehuda Moon. Went to read it, and man it is nothing like YM. Bikeyface is disturbing and NSFW. Needless to say I am a huge fan. Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
IMO the only thing Bikeyface has in common with Yehuda Moon is the theme of cycling.ReplyDelete
Hello Becca,ReplyDelete
I think we met at the tweed ride- I was admiring your "tweedy" helmet! Saw the leather version at REI on sale, but couldn't commit to it.
Glad to make the connection to your blog, which I think is fantastic- hope to see you riding around!
I love Bikeyface. And seeing the woman behind the genius is such a treat! I love that you guys are real-world friends now.ReplyDelete
Yehuda Moon was an experiment in taking Family Circus levels of unfunny and giving the characters beards and bikes.ReplyDelete
There is a bike site that "featured" YM on the bottom. I was careful not to scroll too far down.
- AnonymousDecember 6, 2011 at 2:20 PM
Bikeyface is a great blog! Thanks for this interview and introduction to Bekka, Velouria. Amazing that you two have so much in common, too.ReplyDelete
I liked Yehuda Moon and was sad when it was discontinued; hopefully it still might come back. I do not think it was intended to be funny per se. Never read Family Circus, not much of a comic strip person generally.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 6, 2011 at 4:45 PM
I could never understand Yehuda Moon, but sent them some money just to support a bike cartoonist.ReplyDelete
Bikeyface ,on the other hand, is right up my alley :)
I found it through your blog, so thank you.
I always found I could really relate to Yehuda Moon (and not just because of the beard and my proclivity for riding in flip-flops), it seemed to capture some of the absurdity of shop life.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 6, 2011 at 6:26 PM
Bikeyface never fails to make me smile (or laugh out loud!). I think it is karma that you two live so close! Thanks for sharing the photos, and backstory!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 6, 2011 at 6:58 PM
Velouria and Bekka should join forces as Cycling Super Heroes. Disguised in their beard balaclavas and riding hipster fixies, they'll fight for truth, justice and cyclists' rights.ReplyDelete
Bikeyface is hilarious. The artwork is super. How nice that you are neighbors.
MT Cylist
yeah, I agree that the Bikeyface <-> Yehuda connection is a bit tenuous. They're both funny in different ways, but one is narrative and the other is editorial cartoon.ReplyDelete
you know, there are enough of us who live within a couple of miles of each other (and, I think, cross paths with each other) that some kind of Boston bike blogger get-together is overdue. Maybe a group brunch at the S&S or Friendly Toast sometime after the holidays?
The cartoon of Bekka looks like her. The art is really well done. Thanks to your blog, I'm enjoying them now. So glad you two could get together.ReplyDelete
I always look forward to my weekly dose of Bikeyface. And happy to say that I've been reading since almost the beginning.ReplyDelete
- Steve RDecember 6, 2011 at 7:53 PM
cris 7:12 . . . having lived in Somerville in 1986-87, I find that reading Lovely Bicycle is often an exercise in nostalgia for me, but your mention of the S&S really hit home. My wife and I spent many an evening there. Makes me want to move back -- almost, anyway.ReplyDelete
Velouria . . . thanks for the intro to Bekka and Bikeyface!
@Cycler, we did meet at the tweed ride! But I didn't match you with your blog until recently. Hope to see you around!ReplyDelete
@Ground Round Jim, this is absolutely hilarious--> "Had long hair once; men looked like they wanted to puke when I turned around." Will make a point to do less posts on hair in the future... maybe.
Well he got a haircut sounds like, so we can all relax.ReplyDelete
"Had long hair once; men looked like they wanted to puke when I turned around."ReplyDelete
Jim, I think we accidentally "checked each other out" back when we were in our twenties.
Sorry if I mentally scarred you, man.
V and Bekka, I suspect there might be a lot of cross-pollination between the blogs. This could be some fun trouble.
I really enjoy Bekka's drawing style- she puts down some very honest, economical lines.
Her "winter beard" post incited me to grow mine again!
(I forgot how much these things itch.)
Even though the drawing style and humor are completely different, there is something about Bikeyface that reminds me of Bill Plympton's animation, especially "I married a strange person." Hard to find and not safe for work or children, but worth seeing.ReplyDelete
Love, love, love the Bikeyface! Thank you for introducing me to it!ReplyDelete
Hi Bekka!ReplyDelete
Bike world is so small ha ha, glad to see you doing so well for yourself.
Ha. Today's Bikeyface stip is very relatable! Need to dig my pink gloves out of the closet.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 7, 2011 at 4:53 PM
Velouria,thanks SO much for this post,I had never seen\heard of Bikeyface,but have been thoroughly enjoying the catching up reading of it today,and I definately clicked "Follow" (works really well being that I have a Wordpress blog myself,just a simple click) :)ReplyDelete
Disabled Cyclist
Plympton - not bad, but no Ralph Steadman.ReplyDelete
so nice to see bikeyface in the flesh!! i ahve been wanting that helmet for the winter!!ReplyDelete
- VictoriaDecember 10, 2011 at 6:44 PM
Thank you for posting about her, what a brilliant woman! Bikeyface is now a fixture in my Bookmarks Bar.ReplyDelete
- Gary from DracutDecember 28, 2011 at 3:18 PM
Thanks Velouria for this blog (and the pics.)on Bikeyface / Bekka. I found her blog thru Boston Biker about 6 months ago, she is amazing ! Love the Surly Cross-Check, all it needs to complete it is a B-17 Brooks Saddle...ReplyDelete
Am I getting confused, or is that last photo taken outside The Independent?ReplyDelete
I loved that pub!
Hello !ReplyDelete
I am the chief editor of Weelz.fr, the french web magazine about urban biking.
I'm preparing an article about Bekka and BikeyFace.
Can I use your photos to illustrate it ?
Keep me posted !
Thanks a lot !

Vanguard announced Tuesday that Mitch Milias, 71, a portfolio manager with the $34.6 billion Vanguard Primecap Fund (VPMCX) and co-founder of Primecap Management Co., will relinquish his portfolio management responsibilities at the end of 2013.
Milias is also giving up management of the $5.6 billion Vanguard Primecap Core Fund and the $554 million Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund's Capital Growth Portfolio. The co-founder and chairman of Primecap Management, Milias will remain with the firm in a management and client relationship role. He has been a manager of Primecap Fund since 2002 and Primecap Core Fund since its inception in 2004.
The portions of the funds now managed by Milias will be allocated to the funds' co-managers at Primecap Management, Joel Fried, Theo Kolokotrones, Alfred Mordecai and M. Mohsin Ansari, with 100 years of combined investment management experience. A portion also will be allocated to analysts in the firm's research department.
"I speak on behalf of Vanguard and our investors in expressing our gratitude to Mitch Milias for his care and stewardship of client assets, and for providing superior returns over the long term," said Vanguard Chairman and CEO Bill McNabb in a statement. "While this is a natural progression, Mitch has been an integral part of the Primecap team, and we will miss him. We have full confidence in the talented co-managers and analysts at Primecap who will oversee these funds going forward."
Milias' VPMCX co-manager and Primecap Management co-founder, Howard Schow, died in April 2012 at age 84. Schow also co-managed the Primecap Core Fund and the Vanguard Capital Opportunity Fund.
Vanguard Primecap returned an annual average of 14% in the five years through Monday, beating 60% of competing funds, according to Bloomberg. Primecap Core had a 15% annual return in that time, beating 85% of peers.
Known largely for its index-based funds, Vanguard also offers actively managed funds via 31 institutional money managers.

A report released Thursday by Transamerica Retirement Solutions found colleges and universities are a source of opportunity for advisors looking for new retirement business. The study found 42% of institutions use an advisor or consultant on their retirement plans, a figure expected to grow by 10% over the next year.
Transamerica analyzed schools that offer a 403(b) or Roth 403(b) plan to their employees and found schools are using advisors to help select investment options (58%), monitor those options (47%) and assist with plan design (42%). More than a third are using advisors to develop an investment policy for their retirement plan, and 33% are getting help with plan compliance.
"Advisors and consultants are powerful allies in retirement plan management," Brodie Wood, vice president and national practice leader of not-for-profit plans for Transamerica Retirement Solutions, said in a statement. "By increasing the use of advisors, higher education institutions can continue to effectively navigate the many changes taking place regarding retirement plans."
While having an advisor on site to assist participants is uncommon in the corporate world, visits from an on-site counselor are fairly standard at colleges and universities. Almost 60% of private institutions said they used an on-site participant counselor, as well as 58% of plans with fewer than 5,000 eligible participants. Sixty percent of schools that work with multiple vendors use an on-site counselor.
The survey also found that employees at higher education institutions are saving at a greater rate than average. A survey released in June by Vanguard found the average participant deferral rate was 7% in 2012. The average savings rate including employer contributions was 10.5%. The Transamerica study found the average deferral rate was 13.4%.
Transamerica will host a webinar Tuesday to discuss the findings of the study at length. Advisors can register by calling Transamerica at 888-401-5826.

IBM is expanding its Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) investment in BlueMix by adding more than 30 cloud services intended to help developers build apps in the cloud. The new services include a full portfolio of DevOps tools, plus there are technologies supporting application integration, big data, and Analytics-as-a-Service.
In addition, IBM is launching BlueMix Garages — these are described as "collaborative locations" where developers can create new apps on BlueMix, learn new development skills, and access IBM's developer ecosystem.
So what is IBM trying to do here? Essentially, this is Big Blue telling us that (built on open standards and leveraging Cloud Foundry as it does) BlueMix has made "major advancements" including its capabilities for cloud integration services to enable a secure connection between (for example) public applications and private data.
IBM Leverages: We Get It, OK?
IBM has a hard time getting through most explanations without using the term "leverage" repeatedly. What the firm means is that it is "interconnecting, integrating, and coalescing some of its many acquisition and home-grown technologies in a reasonably intelligent kind of a way" most of the time.
With this thought in mind, IBM says it is leveraging (ouch!) BlueMix's foundation on SoftLayer for the expansion discussed here. This means that the company is combining its middleware software with third-party and open technologies to create an integrated development experience in the cloud.
Using an open cloud environment, BlueMix helps what it likes to call "born-on-the-web" as well as "other" enterprise developers to build applications with their choice of tools with the ability to combine a variety of services and APIs from across the industry to compose, test, and scale custom applications.
Steve Robinson, GM of IBM cloud platform services said, "Rapidly growing numbers of beta participants are embracing our model of extending their existing assets and services into a cloud-based, open-source development platform, allowing our clients to bridge between the tools they are planning for the future and the workloads and services they use today to get them to market faster."
So what new BlueMix services can we find today? IBM loves to leverage and integrate, right? No surprise then that cloud integration services for developers are right up there to start with.
From IBM we see that developers can use predefined connectors for accelerated integration, or develop custom APIs as needed to tie back into systems of record behind their firewall.
"Integrated API management capabilities provide an easy mechanism to publish self-service APIs that can be shared with the broader API economy. This allows developers to mix cloud-based PaaS, third-party cloud applications, and on-premises systems behind security gateways, moving between cloud and on-premises systems in a hybrid, integrated environment," said Robinson.
Internet of Things services allowing developers to register and connect networked devices such as microprocessors and embedded machine-to-machine sensors to the cloud, aggregating and reacting to data and events in real time.
As well as a selection of DevOps services here, IBM has also provided data and Analytics services for developers to deliver data-centric mobile, web-scale applications. With these new services, including geospatial, time series, predictive scoring, and reporting, developers can create "sophisticated applications" that provide actionable insight. For example, a developer could create an application that integrates sensor data, location data, weather data, and usage trends from a network of equipment to identify and avoid emerging maintenance issues. In addition, new data masking, discovery, and audit capabilities help developers create applications with built-in data privacy and security.

How Not to Make Roasted Pork Loin with Grapes and Rosemary Cream Sauce

Thank you for this. I think we've all experienced kitchen fails and it's heartening to see it can happen to the best of them.

"Offensive" is such a strong word and I love when it's applied to trivial things. Not that the ruined sauce was trivial... Glad you posted the Rosemary with Pork Loin and Grapes, still an enjoyable video!

Hey Chef John 1 out of 900 isn't that bad !!!!!! If you only knew my percentage of failures before I found food wishes !!!!!
Your honesty only makes me love this site even more !

Aww, Chef John, sorry for the fail, but grateful for your willingness to post it anyway. It's inspiring.
My biggest fail was on a sailboat. We went through the Soo Locks for the first time, into Lake Superior. I had planned an amazing seafood pasta dinner for when we docked.
I accidentally added SWEETENED condensed milk. Completely inedible.

Chef John
By placing your students ahead of your ego and self by displaying a failure in order to teach, you have taken a very large step toward the league of Chef/Teachers that is lead by the great Julia Child.

Thanks for this, you give me hope!
I have always wanted to ask someone who knows their stuff about what I need to buy for my kitchen. Specifically, what should I be looking for when it comes to pots and pans and all that?
Is there a resource you might suggest I check out?

I put salt instead of sugar in coffee once, it couldn't have been any worse than that. In fairness, the salt was in a small bowl, with a freakishly small plastic spoon in it at a brunch table. Com'on could have happened to anyone.
Shake it off Chef John, shake it off...

Hey John, thanks for sharing this! I've totally made the Rosemary foley a few times too! I love that herb and my wife does not! Frankly, we could discuss if that was too much or REALLY too much, but hehe my bon gout is sometimes coo-coo!
I wonder if adding something like apple sauce, instead of cream (or in addition to) and maybe Dijon mustard to the sauce would have saved it. Clearly would have changed the dish, but was noodling on what i would have done!
Last question, if you then saw the sauce was ruined early on, what about just starting over and cheating? Like quickly fry some bacon in a fresh pan, then onions/shallots, etc. clearly would have been emergency-more-power-Scotty efforts to save a sauce, but curious what you might have done in a restaurant situation?

I giggled a little, but not completely at your expense, Chef John. I too have had a big rosemary fail. I made a Rosemary scented meatloaf. The meaty texture was there, but you couldn't taste it...just the rosemary... It was horrible. Later on I re-made it with alot less Rosemary and it was beautiful. Suprisingly it's still my all-time favorite herb. Thanks for posting this, it's a great video!...I feel better. :D

My wife once mistook cilantro for parsley way too late in the prep for a big family dinner. The resulting lasagna was "different", noticeable but not overpowering.

Nothing is worse than humming bird food rather than tonic in a Gin and tonic. Lesson there was quit using empty tonic bottle to store the nectar .
I would have made a separate sauce. Such a yummy lookingpork!

Dear Chef John,
In recipes calling for grapes, I have taken the habit of cutting the grapes in two. I need fewer grapes and the flavorful juices of the grape add another dimention to the dish.
Too bad about the excess of rosemary. We all have such mishaps. My most recent one was to put way too much wasabi paste inside a batch of sushi rolls I had prepared for diner without testing the potency of the stuff (it was from a new tube of a new brand I was trying.) The sushis were picture perfect but absolutely inedible.
Best regards

Thanks for sharing this, Chef John! I always laugh at your videos, but never as much as I did at this one.
My biggest Food Fail happened the time I made chili and seasoned the stew before the liquid in the pot had reduced. There was enough salt in the final dish to make it almost completely inedible.

Oh chef, I remember getting shouted by the head chef in the culinary school for making these mistakes in the school, oh boy, he used to throw the whole pan in the thrash and shouting, we standing there like fools.........we learn from there, as always enjoy.........:)

Chef John, thank you for sharing your cooking misadventures with us. It is comforting to know that you have your kitchen disasters too. I once put too much basil into a stew and threw the whole thing out.

Hi Chef John
I always appreciate your wonderful recipes, and honesty. I'm a little confused however, and if this were a class, I'd be raising my hand for some deep thoughts ;-):
1) Is there a rule of thumb on amounts of herbs? Should you have tasted earlier on, or is there a "correct" amount of rosemary (per person)?
2) in earlier videos by you and on the advice of other chefs, sometimes water IS enough to deglaze. Why in this case was it not enough, and how can you tell before de-glazing?
I think for both these questions, I'm trying to get you to explain your philosophy on how to eye-ball something, and when it's necessary to actual measure out or decide fixed ingredients in advance...
Thank you so much for your help!

Hope you realise how benificial this was. Showing what works only tells half the story in my opinion...Learning what DOESN'T work is also very important. Thank you!

The meat looks awesome though.
I don't think anyone is able to top my food fail: I was responsible for making turkey on Thanksgiving. We had run out of butter, and instead of, oh, getting some, I decided to baste the turkey with sesame oil. Why? I have no idea. The result destroyed my innocence.

I STILL think you're better than that f***in Chef Ramsay!

This is where pets and farm animals come in handy. You can usually still feed the kitchen disasters out that way!
Chef John, you are fantastic! We all love you! And such mistakes should be told. We all have the proper warning now, so that hopefully we won't repeat the mistake! and really since you cook all the time and push your skills to the next level I would assume you have more than your share of such. In fact you probably should make a section of them so we can all laugh with you and heed the warnings! Call it something like "Don't try this at home!" And let us add our own as well. It would make this site a little extra fun. We all have "those" stories. My sister once decided to stuff cloves of garlic under the skin of a Thanksgiving turkey. She put 5 large bulbs worth of garlic cloves under that skin. The turkey looked like it had hives! It was inedible! Your disaster wasn't nearly that bad! My sister btw has remained a notoriously bad cook! lol

I would have tried this with the light red seedless grapes and deglazed with Beringer White Zin. and I probably would have taken my potato masher and squished the grapes a bit, not all of them just squish them 5 or 6 times. I think grapes are fantastic when they've been stewed long in a dish and have burst actually. The texture is lost, yes, but the dimension to the flavor of the sauce is fantastic! Much of which would come out of the skin, which wouldn't happen in this case. For home cooking, nothing too fancy mind you I often stew the red grapes with balsamic vinegar and lay Italian sausages on top. Very simple, very easy, and very pungent yet my whole family LOVES it and are excited when they see me make it. Grapes definitely a very cool addition to many dishes, they go especially well with pork I think. But I think the grape breaking open is key for flavor potential.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who finds rosemary overpowering. I use very sparingly. I watch Jamie Oliver and while I like a lot of his recipes I'm always puzzled at the amazing hunks of rosemary he puts in so many things. I'm pretty sure I would find those amounts inedible. But it looks cool on a stylish TV show, I suppose.
- February 24, 2014 at 12:06 PM
- PhillyBear said...
you're the best, Chef John. Thanks for sharing this. Re: the Pork with Grapes thing; I have a recipe for pork sausages with green grapes. Sear the sausages in a little oil, add the grapes and some butter, roast until done. splash of balsamic at the end. served over polenta or potatoes...awesome!

Good to see you used Some Rosemary as garnish on top on the final shot. I Guess iT is there to warn people. And NO I don't know why my spellchecker started adding all those capitels.
I Guess iT is the iPad way.

This is the reason I've given up entirely on rosemary. If something calls for rosemary, I use thyme. It's hard (not impossible) to put too much in, and to my dilapidated taste buds they taste the same.
Also, and you probably don't want to hear this from one of your avid fans, but if you have a bad or bland sauce, you can always fix it with Wyler's chicken powder. You can fix anything with it.

Speaking of embarrassing mistakes, I often like to mix a mashed banana with some Greek yogurt and sprinkle the whole thing with cinnamon and it's quite yummy. Then, one time I accidentally added cayenne pepper instead of cinnamon. That was an unpleasant surprise!
But, thanks for showing a good method to cook the pork.

Y'know, you might be onto something here. I know of no other cooking blog that instructs with "how not to".
It might be a nice change of pace from time to time, e.g. "Top ten mistakes that people make".
And no "self flagellation" required. :-)

I saw "Pork Recipe Fail" and thought this would be a true fail that would make me feel better about my many kitchen mishaps (the latest of which involves Chef John's onion ring recipe, which didn't work for me). Instead I see that, for Chef John, failing with a pork loin means the sauce is bland. Yeesh. Mister, I have truly failed with a pork loin: a pork loin that went from the oven to the trash, and not only was the pork loin ruined but also our meat thermometer. :-)

Wow. That was THE best cooking video I've ever seen. There's nothing like learning from cooking goofs, and watching someone else do it instead is infinitely more enjoyable (sorry) yet every bit as beneficial. More, PLEASE!!!

Chef John;
Love your stuff. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery then I flatter you on a weekly basis! Friends and family think I'm a great cook....Nah..Chef John is...I just copy him. Thank you!
Anyway, I'm a chemist. We have a saying;
"Dilution is the solution to the pollution."
(Cooking is chemistry in action at home, after all.)
Perhaps you could have cut your rosemary sauce by 2/3 with some chicken stock, butter and garlic cloves as an emergency sauce?
I've had my share of emergencies!

- Tnflash said...
Thanks for sharing. I bet everyone has used too much spice or salt before. My grandmother used to tell me that you can spot a bad grill chef by whether or not they use garlic and how much they use. She said good meat needs nothing more than salt and maybe a little pepper and proper cooking. She said garlic has a strong flavor and masks the taste of the meat. If a chief uses a lot of garlic they are trying to hide a cheap cut of meat or their mistakes made while cooking it.
I think of my grandmother and laugh to myself when I watch the "chiefs" on TV. Apparently none of them know how to cook. They all throw garlic on everything. I would not be surprise if they put garlic in a recipe for icecream cake or cookies. Maybe they became addicted or their taste buds have become desensitized to strength of the garlic?

The fails in the comments are hilarious. My favorite is hummingbird food in a gin and tonic. And yes, it's great that Chef John posts stuff like this. I'd also like to see another run at the basic idea, with a proper amount of rosemary.

While diversification was the first thing that steered the wealth management firm Balasa Dinverno Foltz to international investing, according to Chad Carlson, there are plenty of other reasons to look to other countries for investing opportunities, both in bonds and in stocks.
Both Carlson and Itasca, IL-based Balasa Dinverno Foltz have "been around the block on international investing." Balasa has looked abroad for opportunities since 1986, and Carlson's experience in the sector spans a decade. A third of the firm's portfolios are targeted toward foreign holdings, he said, "with a purposeful overweight to emerging markets."
Regarding bonds, "we have recently chosen to increase our international positioning to get exposure to different interest rate environments in order to help us navigate the changing bond market dynamics," he said.
What's so attractive about emerging markets? They're a study in contrasts when compared to developed markets. "The developed world—the U.S., Europe, Japan—are struggling to find some growth," said Carlson. Emerging markets may log growth of 4% to 5%, whereas developed markets are lucky at present to grow by 1% to 2%.
Another reason is demographics. "The developed market demographics are of an aging market," Carlson said, which is "scary." Emerging markets are "working-age markets," versus "retired" markets. "Emerging markets have a lot more going for them, and don't have the burdens of Social Security and Medicare in place to slow growth," he said.
"We look at all that stuff, but how we chose to implement [our investment strategy] is through broader baskets of diversified products," Carlson said. He singles out Mexico as having "a lot of good things going on there," although he concedes that "emerging markets and frontier markets are pretty risky to pick; there are political [hazards], governments get overthrown, and there are less strict reporting requirements for companies."
The firm uses index funds and ETFs to take advantage of equity opportunities, as well as an emerging-markets local bond fund that looks likely to provide some currency appreciation opportunities as well. "Emerging market currencies look cheap compared to developed," he said.
And exposure to currency is what the firm is looking for. "From our perspective on the stock side, being unhedged has made a lot of sense," Carlson said. "In particular, in emerging markets, you want to be unhedged because of opportunities in currency appreciation."
Another lure of international debt exposure is that "the Canadas, the Australias have better balance sheets than the U.S.; they don't look as risky for the amount of debt," according to Carlson. "We have exposure with those, so that if rates go up on bonds and there's trouble [within the U.S.], we are pretty sure that they won't go up globally in sync. Maybe other countries will go up a few years after the U.S.; rates will rise at some point," he said.
With a third of the firm's stocks in foreign holdings, and about 20% of its bonds also tied to foreign markets, the firm is satisfied with how things are going. Carlson said that the emerging-markets local bond fund is up almost 16%.
Sectors that the firm favors include last year's investments in foreign real estate, something that's gone down quite a bit, said Carlson, adding that it definitely rallied back very strongly across the board returning approximately 33%. There was "very, very strong performance with an international REIT; this year, it's actually reversing a bit. We added that type of exposure [because] we didn't want U.S. exposure but wanted real estate for diversification," he said.
Another sector that seems to make sense long term is the consumer sector. Growing populations that are earning more money buy cars, move into urban areas—emerging market indexes are small and focus on the consumer. In the U.S. the sector makes up 70% of the economy; in China it's 11% of the economy, he said. "If China moves anywhere toward the U.S., there will be tremendous benefit [in that sector] and funds that look for consumer [sector exposure] are an interesting piece to look for growth," Carlson said.
While currently the firm's international exposure hovers at approximately a third, its international investing is going to grow. "It will probably be moving up to 40%; it's just a matter of time till we do that," he said.
