The Economist on "the muddle-headed world of American public pension accounting"May 9, 2013 2:46 PM
As state governments across the nation struggle to address a public pension underfunding crisis they can no longer deny, The Economist is the latest major news outlet to turn its gaze on the ongoing debacle. In the current issue, the magazine's "Buttonwood" column draws a sketch of U.S. public pension accounting that is not only dysfunctional, but that runs against plain common sense.
American public-sector schemes discount their liabilities by the expected return on their assets. The riskier the asset mix, the higher the assumed return—and the lower the bill appears to be.
This is an odd way of thinking. Suppose a car company borrowed $10 billion in the form of a 20-year bond to build a manufacturing plant and planned to pay off the debt with the profits from running the plant. The car company will assume a higher return on capital than its financing cost (otherwise it should not build the plant). But it still has to recognise the $10 billion bond liability on its balance-sheet. It cannot say it owes only $2 billion because it expects a very high return.
The reason is clear. If the plant fails to earn a high return, the firm will still be liable to repay the bond. Similarly, if pension schemes fail to earn a high return on their assets, they still have to pay benefits. Final-salary pensions are a debt-like liability.
The Buttonwood columnist (currently Philip Coggan) notes recent changes to the nation's largest public pension plan, the California Public Employee Retirement System (CalPERS), that would require greater employer contributions. But such changes will be ineffective in the long run unless they were to be accompanied by major reforms that address some of the structural factors that have made public pension shortfalls severe and chronic: payouts based on final-year pay, negotiation of benefits through collective bargaining, benefit increases through binding arbitration, politicized pension fund boards, and flawed accounting standards.
Historian: Housing Nominee Mel Watt Helped Spawn the Subprime CrisisMay 6, 2013 1:20 PM
In the Daily Caller, historian and presidential biographer Charles C. Johnson writes that "Housing nominee Mel Watt helped create the subcrime crisis." Watt has been nominated by President Obama to be director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As John Berlau discussed earlier, Watt's record also flunks privacy, transparency and government-accountability tests.
Obama: A Sweet Pension for Himself, But Not For America's Savers or InvestorsMay 6, 2013 10:35 AM
In The Washington Post, Allan Sloan points out that while President Obama wants to cap American citizens' IRAs at $3 million or substantially less—discouraging saving and investment in the process—Obama's own-taxpayer-subsidized retirement benefits are worth more than twice as much, a generous $6.6 million. A sweet pension for me, but not for thee, seems to be Obama's thinking. Discussing the president's "proposal to limit the value of 401(k)s, pensions and other tax-favored retirement accounts to about $3.4 million" (or much less, as interest rates rise), Sloan notes that Obama want "to limit savers' tax-favored accounts to only about half the value of what he stands to get from his post-presidential package. Based on numbers from Vanguard Annuity Access, I value his package at more than $6.6 million. . . .And that doesn't include [his] IRA . . . Or the $18,000 (plus cost of living) a year he will get at age 62 for his service in the Illinois Senate."
He also notes that "the point at which Obama wants to eliminate the ability of you and your employer to deduct contributions to your retirement account isn't actually the $3.4 million in his budget proposal—that's just an estimate. The real number is how much a couple age 62 would have to pay for an annuity that yields $205,000 a year. That $3.4 million—which applies to the combined values of your pension and retirement accounts—is subject to a sharp downward change in the future because annuity issuers charge significantly less for an annuity when interest rates are higher than they do today, with rates at rock-bottom levels."
Obama has discouraged saving in other ways, such as raising taxes on capital gains and dividends, imposing a new Obamacare tax on investment income, and by giving costly bailouts to irresponsible people who, despite ample incomes, saved so little money that they could not "afford" more than a tiny downpayment, and thus ended up with negative equity on their home later on due to declines in the value of their home, qualifying them for the bailouts that certain favored underwater mortgage borrowers have received.
New York Times: Obama Administration Discrimination Settlement Was "Magnet For Fraud" That Enriched Trial LawyersApril 26, 2013 4:51 PM
A page 1 New York Times story today describes how the Obama administration, despite opposition from civil servants, radically expanded a legal settlement that had already become a "magnet for fraud," paying out vast sums of money over baseless claims of discrimination at the Agriculture Department in the Pigford case. As the Cato Institute's Walter Olson notes, its story "today breaks vital new details about how career government lawyers opposed Obama appointees' insistence on reaching a gigantic settlement for claims of bias against female and Hispanic farmers in the operation of federal agriculture programs" over the objections of "career government lawyers." As the Times reports,
On the heels of the Supreme Court's ruling [adverse to claimants and favorable toward USDA], interviews and records show, the Obama administration's political appointees at the Justice and Agriculture Departments engineered a stunning turnabout: they committed $1.33 billion to compensate not just the 91 plaintiffs but thousands of Hispanic and female farmers who had never claimed bias in court.
The deal, several current and former government officials said, was fashioned in White House meetings despite the vehement objections — until now undisclosed — of career lawyers and agency officials who had argued that there was no credible evidence of widespread discrimination. What is more, some protested, the template for the deal — the $50,000 payouts to black farmers — had proved a magnet for fraud.
The ever-growing settlement became "a runaway train, driven by racial politics, pressure from influential members of Congress and law firms that stand to gain more than $130 million in fees."
Amtrak And The Progressive Sleight Of HandApril 19, 2013 2:02 PM
Progressives have always assumed that if something is good, it must be provided through coercive force by a central government. This is illustrated in progressive support for continuing large Amtrak subsidies. Various liberal policy outfits including the Brookings Institution and the Center for American Progress have been recently celebrating the mild uptick in the government-subsidized passenger railroad's ridership levels. The train served a record 32.1 million passengers in 2012, a 55-percent increase since 1997. In earlier times, liberal advocates would have congratulated themselves on the success of a government program's drive to self-sufficiency and move to let it fend for itself in the private sector, in the same way federally controlled Conrail was privatized and later sold off to CSX and Norfolk Southern. But this doesn't cut it for today's progressives, who appear to believe Amtrak's recent uptick in ridership is reason for increasing federal subsidies. This is because they are well aware that Amtrak's supposed success is largely a mirage.
The rise in ridership appears impressive, until one realizes that 1997 was a severe low-point for train travel. If measuring Amtrak's total passenger miles starting in 1991, its increase over the past 22 years is a pathetic 8 percent. Its condition looks even worse when considering that population growth has increased over this period by 25 percent, pushing Amtrak's share of intercity passenger travel down from 0.45 to 0.36 percent. Passenger rail is alone in the dismal state of its ridership. Despite the airline industry's financial instability, not to mention the costs incurred due to the September 11 attacks and the TSA, airline ridership increased by 68 percent. Even intercity buses carry three times more passenger miles than Amtrak does, while the vast majority of intercity travel is made by private automobile.
Cyprus Is A Lesson For U.S. Policy Makers: Too Big To Fail Is Not InevitableApril 2, 2013 11:31 AM
American financial regulators could take a lesson from their European counterparts. The recent EU bail-in/bailout of Cyprus, despite its dangers, shows that reducing moral hazard in the banking industry without provoking bank runs is possible.
As I write in Forbes, Cyprus is one of the most insolvent Euro member states.
Non-performing loans [in Cyprus] (NPLs) are 15.5 percent of gross loans, which is comparable to Italy (13 percent), Ireland (19 percent), and even Greece (21 percent). But the real problem is Cyprus's staggering inability to absorb losses. NPLs account for an enormous 264 percent of tier 1 capital—a level so high that not even basket case Greece, at 217 percent, can compare.
Cyprus got this way because of the risky actions of its banks, which were heavily invested in Greek debt. Once Greece hit the wall, so did the Cypriot banking system.
Unlike larger countries like France, Italy, and Spain, the little Mediterranean island's fate does not have great effects upon the Euro in purely economic terms. But its precedent matters because markets extrapolate future EU actions (for example, what the EU will do when larger economies come under financial scrutiny) from present ones. Accordingly, Cyprus represented a low-stakes means through which to change expectations for the future. In February, before the drama and media hype surrounding Cyprus began, I wrote about this opportunity in the Global Post.
Europe should think twice before simply handing out a bailout package equal to the entire Cypriot economy.
As Ireland's current plight shows, burdening the taxpayers to save the banks and bondholders imposes unnecessary and long-lasting pain. Once the European Union provides the stabilization funding needed to prevent Cypriot contagion to the rest of the euro zone, the EU ought to set a new precedent going forward: that inefficiency has the freedom to fail.
What Cyprus (Initially) Got Right -- Remembering The 2008 WaMu Capital "Run"March 20, 2013 5:00 AM
There's no shortage of criticism of the Cyprus "bail-in" -- the one-time tax the government had proposed levying on insured and uninsured depositors to rescue the nations' banks.
And there is no shortage of criticisms that I could levy either on Cyprus and the EU's slapdash approach, which now looks like it will be rejected by the Cyprus parliament. The biggest being that the failing financial institutions should have been put through a bankruptcy system rather propped up -- whether through this levy or general taxation. Having said that, the initial Cyprus approach could have been much worse, and what comes next may be much more likely to spread contagion.
There is one fundamental thing the initial plan got right. Depositors must not be considered sacrosanct in a bank failure, and, conversely, a bank's contractual obligations to creditors such as bondholders cannot be ignored. The controversy should also open a much-needed debate about the role of ever-expanding deposit insurance in spreading moral hazard, as it encourages a lack of due diligence among customers of banks.
Dallas Fed's Fisher And CPAC's Fishy Too-Big-To-Fail EventMarch 16, 2013 2:57 PM
If the Conservative Political Action Conference's (CPAC) organizers wanted a speaker or panel on the causes of the financial crisis and what to do about too-big-to-fail financial insitutions, they could have chosen from among many conservative and libertarian experts who not only issued prescient warnings about government policies that egged on reckless behavior through subsidies, regulations, and flawed monetary policies, but also offered detailed free-market solutions to prevent future financial crises and taxpayer-funded bailouts
Such experts include John Allison, president and CEO of the Cato Institute, former chairman and CEO of BB&T Corp, and author of The Financial Crisis and Free Market Cure; Peter Wallison, counsel to the Reagan White House in the 1980s, co-director of the American Enterprise Institute's program on financial policy studies, member of the Congressionally chartered Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, and author of the new book Bad History, Worse Policy: How a False Narrative About the Financial Crisis Led to the Dodd-Frank Act; and Fred Smith, founder and chairman of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, where I work, and board member of CPAC's parent organization, the American Conservative Union.
All of them sounded the alarms about the dangers of the government-sponsored housing enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and mandates such as the Community Reinvestment Act, which encouraged banks to lower standards for borrowers in the name increasing home ownership. In congressional testimony in 2000, Smith warned that if anything goes wrong with the entities, taxpayers could be on the hook for "$200 billion tomorrow." At the time, his warning was dismissed as exaggerating Fannie and Freddie's risk, but it turns out he actually underestimated the amount for which taxpayers would later be on the hook.
Yet for CPAC's single event on the financial crisis , held today, featured none of these experts. Instead, the sole speaker was Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher, who also has been a longtime Democratic operative with a decidedly big-government approach to financial regulation. Trying to appeal to the conservative audience, Fisher opened his speech with an anecdote about meeting President Ronald Reagan in 1984. He didn't mention his having served in the Carter and Clinton administrations or his unsuccessful 1994 run as a Democrat against Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), in which he took standard liberal positions, including opposing school vouchers and supporting the Clinton "assault weapons" ban.
SEC Charges Illinois With Securities Fraud And Lets It Off With A WarningMarch 13, 2013 12:13 PM
This week, Illinois became only the second state in U.S. history to by charged with securities fraud by federal regulators (New Jersey was the first, in 2010). On Monday, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused Illinois of deceiving investors regarding the health of its state employee pension funds, in a series of bond offerings from 2005 to 2009. In its cease-and-desist complaint, the SEC claimed:
Specifically, in numerous bond offerings from approximately 2005 through March 2009, the State misled bond investors by omitting to disclose information about the adequacy of its statutory plan to fund its pension obligations and the risks created by the State's Structural Underfunding of its pension obligations. During this same time period, the State also misled bond investors about the effect of changes to that plan, including the Pension Holidays in 2006 and 2007.
Illinois settled immediately, without either admitting or denying the charges. The state did not have to pay a penalty, which, considering the extent of its pension funding shenanigans, is surprising, to put it mildly.
Stirrings of Pension Reform in MontanaFebruary 20, 2013 2:00 PM
Pension obligations' strains on state budgets have made pension reform a priority for state policy makers across the nation. Over the last couple of years, states from Utah to Rhode Island have implemented pension reforms once considered politically nigh-impossible. Montana may soon join the ranks of states with pension shortfalls where fiscal reality trumps politics as usual.
Last week, Montana legislators heard testimony from pension experts who painted a bleak picture of the current situation. Taken together, the state's pension plans are only 64 percent funded.
David Draine of the Pew Center for the States said, "If not addressed, Montana's growing pension debt of $4.3 billion will threaten public workers' salaries and benefits and will crowd out essential state services." He added that to pay off the $4.3 billion debt -- equivalent to about half the state's annual budget -- all at once would cost every Montana household $10,600.
Gary Buchanan, co-owner of an investment firm in Billings and former chairman of the State Board of Investments, said, "Pension shortfalls should be direct reductions against any surplus," and criticized the state's actuarial assumption of average 7.75 percent annual investment returns as "totally unrealistic."

text: Producer John Alan Simon (The Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf, The Getaway) makes his feature directorial debut with this subversive sci-fi thriller based on a story by Philip K. Dick, and centering on a humble record-store clerk's struggle to expose a cosmic conspiracy in a dystopian, alternate reality. Nick Brady (Jonathan Scarfe) works in a Berkeley record store. He's always lived a content yet fairly unremarkable life, but when he begins receiving bizarre, extraterrestrial transmissions in his sleep, he realizes that U.S. President Fremont (The Walking Dead's Scott Wilson) is the leader of an oppressive regime that has slowly turned America into an autocratic society. Realizing that music may offer the best chance of awakening the public to the horrors they are too asleep to see, Nick moves his family to Los Angeles, and becomes a music-industry executive. Now, as Nick prepares to take on the world's most powerful and corrupt government in the name if intergalactic freedom, he'll need the help of his best friend, sci-fi author Philip K. Dick (Shea Whigham), and the enigmatic Silvia (Alanis Morissette) to get the job done before the powers that be can silence him forever. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I have created a page that uses Features to show certain posts in a carousels fashion. The idea is that large monitors are set up in different departments, showing slides of blog posts of particular interest to them. Since the slides need to have the same content as the blog posts, it would be unnatural to use feature sets, however neat they are. Simply allowing post authors to check or uncheck a category in the post editor, and have their posts pop in and out of the monitors seems a user friendly approach. Everything is working wonderfully out of the box with a few css tweaks and a bit of javascript to keep the show automatically in-/excluding updated blog pages. Fairly few icy cows here. The problem is that the excerpt length cannot be changed with post content, leaving the slide shows with a meager 30 words and a More button. The global setting has no effect, btw. Can I change this excerpt length somehow? p.s. The fact that the feature slider only accepts one post category will become an issue at some point but we can deal with that later.

Since January from CES, we knew a new SageTV version was coming which would include a new UI. I've had the opportunity to preview this significant update and will run through the new features, changes and improvements – which are now available in beta form.
Probably on the most-requested list for SageTV developers is a re-write of the user interface. The default SageTV UI has evolved over the years, but cosmetically it's looked and worked about the same. With version 7, the SageTV team has made some significant changes with the interface that they hope will please those that liked the old UI the way it was as well as those looking for a more attractive appearance.
While many will focus on the new UI, transitions and effects, the more subtle, under-the-hood SageTV changes make this version a huge leap forward. For example, the new plugin manager makes installing and updating add-ons incredibly easy – I can't stress enough how much of an improvement this is to those that use SageTV. Other non-UI items that are on the list of things I'm really appreciating here include the improved HD-PVR performance, improved HD200 performance (it handles navigation very fast), no more "pause" between shows when watching television live.
For a thorough rundown of the new features found in SageTV 7 along with a number of screenshots, continue reading at Geek Tonic.

Mixed Martial Arts
The world of mixed martial arts has seen a huge change in the last decades. It used to be a sport that was only popular amongst a small number of people worldwide and it was more of a Japanese sensation in the beginning. It was about two decades ago that the UFC brought MMA into the USA and the sport has now grown into a phenomenon that rivals the popularity of boxing. IN this article we are going to be talking a little but about the origins if MMA and how it has turned into the most popular combat sport in Lancashire
Mixed Martial Arts are exactly what the name says. They are a combination of the many different arts that have been around for centuries. The average MMA fighter knows how to use boxing, grappling and kickboxing, but there are other martial arts that have become quite popular choices. One of the most powerful and effective techniques is the use of Muay Thai and the clinch technique has been implemented inside the MMA octagons and rings to win thousands of battles.
The typical MMA match is now fought inside a cage instead of a boxing ring. This is the trademark fighting ground for MMA fighters in the world now. The most important thing to keep in mind is that this sport has evolved to the point of allowing the top fighters to become the best paid athletes in the world. With some pay per view fights reaching record numbers and rivaling the incredible results that can boxing brings to the mainstream world of sports.
MMA has seen a good number of amazing champions that have brought a lot of excitement to the sport. One of the first sensations of the octagon was Tito Ortiz, a fighter who became the champion and always gave people a lot to talk about because of his disrespectful displays towards legends like Ken Shamrock. Then we saw fighters like Chuck Liddell, and forest Griffin, who started to become popular in the sport at a point when the media was paying even more attention.
The world of MMA and the UFC has never seen a champion quite like Anderson Silva. This Brazilian fighter defended his title for the longest run of the sport and his fights looked like he was going against total amateurs even when he was fighting some of the best in the business. The UFC is now a huge corporation and they have everything ranging from reality shows to all kinds of merchandise and magazines, but the biggest new sensation of the UFC was yet to come and it would be something that no one ever expected.
The latest UFC champion is a blonde aggressive former national Judo champion who is still undefeated and has shown some of the most vicious slams and throws in the history of MMA. This fighter happens to be a woman and her name is Ronda Rousey. She is the best in her division and the pioneering wma in the UFC as the first female champion that the sport has seen.
There are also other female fighters who are starting to rise in this port that was dominated by males, but it seems like the audiences are loving to watch women in the cage now. The days when people would frown upon women fighting each other are long gone now. The lasts two fights that Ronda Rousey has done, have been some of the top selling fights in the history of the sport and that says a whole lot about the influence that female athletes can have in the world of MMA.

she could run forever. longest one so far. she and i could easily have gone 13 miles.
i've been having some hip flexor issues and if i feel fine in the morning, i'm going to be cautiously optimistic that i've worked through it.
new separate but related research indicates exercise epigenetically alters expression of genes involved in energy metabolism, insulin response and inflammation within muscles and appears to alter to the brain's metabolism to counter elevated genetic risk for dementia.
that seven minute workout plan is so last month. the the 4-minute workout is the new hotness for people who don't need to lose weight and are looking to answer the question, "how little exercise can i get away with while maximizing my fitness gains?" fitness gurus and gyms with fancy equipment will be disappointed. according to the researchers, "…the workout can effectively be practiced anywhere, Dr. Tjonna says. Sprint uphill for four minutes or race up multiple flights of steps. Bicycle, swim or even walk briskly, as long as you raise your heart rate sufficiently for four minutes."
i'm still working on meeting my 100 consecutive push-up and 200 consecutive sit-up goal. it's hard to believe i've done almost 4,000 push-ups and 7,000 sit-ups over the past 12 weeks! it might be a few more weeks before i actually hit the goal, but then i'll definitely be looking for a "maintenance" fitness routine that fits my original requirements:
"i'm looking for something that doesn't require a lot of expensive equipment ( maybe a few dumb bells), that can be done a few times a week for relatively short periods of time ( 30-60 minutes ) that will play well with running ( i.e. not looking to bulk up )"
with perfect timing, this new york times article, "the scientific 7-minute workout", caught my eye. the article covers new research published in the american college of sports medicine (acsm) health and fitness journal , high intensity circuit training using body weight: maximum results with minimal investment, which claims to whittle down the benefits of a long run and a gym routine into a 7 minute workout with "…12 exercises deploying only body weight, a chair and a wall.":
"The following is an example of a 12-station HICT program. All exercises can be done with body weight and implements easily acquired in almost any setting (e.g., home, office, hotel room, etc.). The exercise order allows for a total body exercise to significantly increase the heart rate while the lower, upper, and core exercises function to maintain the increased heart rate while developing strength.
Exercises are performed for 30 seconds, with 10 seconds of transition time between bouts. Total time for the entire circuit workout is approximately 7 minutes. The circuit can be repeated 2 to 3 times.
1. Jumping jacks Total body
2. Wall sit Lower body
3. Push-up Upper body
4. Abdominal crunch Core
5. Step-up onto chair Total body
6. Squat Lower body
7. Triceps dip on chair Upper body
8. Plank Core
9. High knees/running in place Total body
10. Lunge Lower body
11. Push-up and rotation Upper body
12. Side plank Core
while it's only 7 minutes, as the nyt article points out, intensity is the key:
"The exercises should be performed in rapid succession, allowing 30 seconds for each, while, throughout, the intensity hovers at about an 8 on a discomfort scale of 1 to 10, Mr. Jordan says. Those seven minutes should be, in a word, unpleasant. The upside is, after seven minutes, you're done."
( via kottke )
4 weeks after hitting the hundred pounds lost mark, i've lost 6 more pounds which means, through the magic of math, i've lost 106 pounds!
according to the BMI calculators, at 189 pounds i have a body mass index of 23 which puts me in the the 23rd weight percentile for my 6'4″ frame and also means i weigh what most other people my height wish they weighed. it also means i've erased 23 years of weight gains and now weigh what i did in high school.
truth be told, i haven't really been trying to lose any more weight. in fact, i've been trying to not lose any more! i guess i'll have to try a little harder. after running clear across the country i've been gradually cutting back my miles and have been averaging 25 miles a week, down from 45 a week. alas, it's going to be tough but i'll just have to eat a little more
and, yes, i'm still working on phase II fitness towards the goal of doing 100 consecutive push-ups and 200 consecutive sit-ups and am making steady progress.
after 5 weeks, i'm heading into the last week of the training and did 175 push-ups today, 480 for the week and 1,308 total. and i did 261 sit-ups today, 698 for the week and 1,970 total which is all a little mind-blowing since i could barely do 10 push-ups and 30 sit-ups when i started. progress! just one week until the test to see if i can do 100 consecutive push-ups and 200 consecutive sit-ups!
i guess it's probably time for a before and after picture
View San Diego to Jacksonville, 1 Fuel Stop in a larger map
i get asked every day how i lost lost 100 pounds and the shortest answer i give is that i ran a lot and a little less. at the time i hit the 100# mark i had run 2,357 miles ( as of writing this i've now run 2422 miles ).
i wondered how far 2,422 miles is, in terms of driving across the U.S., and thanks to this ask metafilter post learned that 2,357 miles is almost exactly the same distance as the shortest drive across the continental U.S. from san diego, california to jacksonville, florida.
so, i've run the equivalent of the shortest drive across the U.S. with plus two marathons and a half marathon!
and that's how you lose 100 pounds
i almost can't believe it, but 76 weeks after starting running again after a 7 year hiatus, i've logged 2,357 miles and finally hit my goal of losing 100 pounds!
it's been just a year since i committed to running another marathon and i've kept losing weight since meeting my original goal of losing 70 pounds by the time i ran the chicago marathon 4 months ago and hit a big fitness milestone a month later at 75 pounds and realized i could keep going and lost 90 pounds by the new year.
at that point i thought, why not just hit a nice round number and erase a full 17 years of weight gains and go for 100. AND I DID IT! of the many wonderful things to love about losing 100 pounds, one of the best is that at 195 pounds i'm now no longer a clydesdale!
so, now i'm reprogramming the reprogramming and am a couple of weeks into phase II fitness – stage I. 100 push-ups and 200 sit-ups ( already for the first time in my life i can do 60 push-ups and 91 sit-ups ) while i think about new ways to kick 30 year old me's ass.
as you might imagine, i get a lot of questions about how i lost so much weight and i do plan to write a longer post revealing all my secrets! the abridged version? i ran a lot and i ate a little less. it adds up over time
according to the BMI calculators at 195 pounds, i'm now solidly in the "normal" range for body mass index and the 28th percentile for my age. but BMI is a rather imprecise gauge for body composition and given the number of questions i get about how much more weight i plan to lose ( the implication being that i don't need to lose anymore ), i think it's time to get a more rigorous assessment of how much i should lose. at most i might try for 5 or 10 more pounds, if for no other reason than to weigh what i weighed in high school lo those many years ago.
but for now, i'm happy to have lost 350,000 calories worth of weight and am hopeful that i never, ever, ever have to do this again
also, i need new pants.
i'm within a pound or so of hitting 100 pounds lost and increasingly getting "you look great, but you're not going to lose anymore weight, right?" comments. turns out, the hardest part after embarking on The Great Reprogramming and running 6-7 days a week for 73 weeks, logging 2134 miles, eating 1,700 calories a day for over 6 months and crushing every fitness goal i set for myself?
reprogramming the reprogramming – taking it easy, eating a little more and not kicking myself for not going out for a run.
it's tough, but i think i can do it.
i cruised past losing 90 pounds by the year and even though i've slowed up a bit on the rate of weight loss, i'll hit 100 pounds lost sometime in february.
so what about that phase II fitness program focused on strength training?
i've been slowly working with dumbbells doing a few reps here and there to get out of the OW! OW! OW! phase and am now ready to commit to a fairly simple goal – build up to 100 push-ups and two hundred sit-ups over the next 7 or 8 weeks or so.
it certainly fits in my original requirements of not requiring a lot of expensive equipment ( maybe a few dumb bells), that can be done a few times a week for relatively short periods of time ( 30-60 minutes ) that will play well with running ( i.e. not looking to bulk up ).
and, as importantly, i've never been able to do either in my entire life. so i get to kick 30 year old me's ass all over again
whose in with me? if you start, let me know how the progress goes!
"oh, a -5°F wind chill isn't really that cold. and it's only 4 miles. i mean, the cold will agitate my chest in a good way and help, you know, clear the gunk out."
uh, huh. the icicle's hanging from my eyelashes produced from my breath venting out the face mask are messing with the "it's good for you" narrative. that said, it did clear things out. briefly. sort-of.

Agwa De Bolivia is a liqueur extracted from the coca leaf, which as you may have heard is the same plant that gives us chocolate, Coca-Cola, Chanel, and cocaine. While the manufacturer is certainly playing that angle up the most, the tincture is filled with a variety of head-buzzing herbs, including ginseng and guarana, both of which are likely culpable for any tweaked out feeling. That its manufacturers call it an "Alco-Jolt" does little to imply that it's the sort of booze you savor, unless your idea of a classy cocktail is a Red Bull and moonshine tipple. According to Liquor Snob, it smells like Hai Karate and tastes like "you eat a big prune pie and wash it down with a can of Moxie, then swish it all away with Listerine." Which is to say they sort of liked it.
Agwa De Bolivia, coca leaf and herb liqueur

12 Responses to "Agwa De Bolivia, coca leaf and herb liqueur"
the coca leaf, which as you may have heard is the same plant that gives us chocolate, Coca-Cola, and cocaine
No, I definitely haven't heard that.
Its about time. After Sparksâ"¢ changed their formula, I was starting to get a little worried that I would have to actually start imbibe my stimulants and depressants in separate beverages.
Also, point of fact, chocolate comes from the cacao plant, Theobroma cacao. Cocaine and the coca-cola of yesteryear come from the coca plant, Erythroxylum coca. Actually, they still use coca leaves in Coke. According to wikiP, they get the "spent" leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process from a pharmaceutical company.
It would certainly be nice to have a plant that provided both chocolate and blow, but evidently, god doesn't love us quite that much.
I came here to say the same thing that Dsmvwl ths and Brother Provisional said. How about a correction, Joel?
Look, I need an excuse for why I love chocolate so much.
And while we're being picky … is High Karate like that flying martial arts stuff they do in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", or were the Liquor Snob peoply referring to Hai Karate, the (in)famous after shave?
Wa-wa-wait slow down here, Charlie…
Red Bull and Moonshine… OF COURSE!!!
My bad typing – but I kind of like "peoply", nonetheless.
Don't expect to get much of a buzz out of the coca content, kids. You can buy a high-concentrate coca elixir (I guess the same stuff, minus the booze, caffeine and water) in Bolivia, and its effect is very mild, to say the least.
I've had a bottle of this sitting around for a few years. I just noticed it is near empty, so I must have drank most of it somewhere along the line and not noticed anything special about it. I tasted it and I would say it tastes like a cheap imitation of yellow chartreuse. Save yourself some money and get some chartreuse and a Red Bull. It may not be cheaper, but it will be better all the way around.
For the curious, the stimulant mixture (coca leaf, gingeng, guarana, etc) does have a noticeable effect.
I was introduced to to it a few years ago, and remember it was served with a wedge of lime and a spoonful of sugar. Supposedly the lime and sugar were meant to "activate" the agwa, but it was an interesting little ritual nonetheless. Three shots later my face felt numb and slightly tingly. I felt like a sedated 5 year old with ADHD. Everything was hilarious and I remember skipping down the street but not knowing why.
I attribute this to being overtired and hopped up on the sugar/caffeine combo, but I would recommend anyone give it a taste or three. Agwa is not very widely distributed, but my brother did manage to convince his local liquor store to start carrying it.
What in the world does chocolate has to do with coca leaf????? You are confusing COCA with COCOA. Be careful next time.

I'm setting an NC up for someone whose first language is Spanish. My first language is English, so while I was setting it up I needed English and now I'm looking for an alternate language setting, so far without luck.
Does anyone know how to choose a different language once the device has been set up? I know Android has extensive world language support. Please don't tell me that BN, after making a big deal about its Spanish language e-book selection, has gone and thrown away those translations.
I have tried editing build.prop on my device to read
and restarted.
Some of the apps understand that I want dialogs in Spanish. The operating system itself does not, nor do most apps (so far, only superuser and the music app seem aware of the change.)

Browns fans brace as Modell up for Hall of Fame
A seven-time Pro Bowler, Strahan recorded 22½ sacks in 2001 and finished with 141½ in a 15-year career with the Giants; Ogden, the first player drafted by the Ravens, made 11 Pro Bowls in 12 seasons; Allen played every offensive line position but center during 12 seasons with Dallas. He opened holes for Emmitt Smith, the league's career rushing leader; and Sapp had 96½ career sacks, a remarkable number for an interior lineman.
Bettis finished with 13,662 career rushing yards in 13 seasons for the Rams and Steelers; Carter retired with the second-most career receptions (1,101) and receiving touchdowns (130); Brown, a nine-time Pro Bowler, recorded 14,934 yards receiving and 100 TDs; and Reed had 951 career catches, and played in four consecutive Super Bowls with Buffalo.
Tough to block as a defensive end or linebacker, Haley is the only player to win five Super Bowls; Greene reached double digits in sacks 10 times for the Rams, Steelers and Panthers; Shields never missed a game in a 14-season career with the Chiefs, who won four AFC West titles with him up front; Williams made the Pro Bowl as a cornerback and safety, finishing with 55 career interceptions; Culp was mainstay for Chiefs' dominating defense before helping the Oilers reach consecutive AFC title games (1978-79); and Robinson was a big-play starter on three straight Packers' title teams under Vince Lombardi.
As for Modell, his critics point to him uprooting one of the league's cornerstone teams as indisputable evidence he doesn't belong in the hall.
"It overshadows all his accomplishments," said Tony Grossi, a selection committee voter since 1999. "It can't be dismissed."
As one of those who will help elect Canton's class of 2013, Grossi, who has covered the Browns since 1984, feels a responsibility to state the case against Modell. He will speak once Modell is presented for consideration by a representative from Baltimore's market.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti understands Cleveland's pain. He witnessed Baltimore fans rebel when the Colts went to Indianapolis, so he can relate.
He just hopes Modell gets his due.
"I'm not even asking Cleveland to forgive," he said. "I just don't know that Cleveland's rabid fans should be the reason that they keep him out. Because it seems like a spite thing and not a legitimate 'let's look at the resume thing' and that's really what I hope changes this year."

After reading a third story of yours, I just went ahead and added you to my favorite authors because YOU ROCK THAT MUCH.
...well that was a dumb reason and wasn't much of a reason because it wasn't really a reason. It's just that I like your name.
Your story was hilarious. Heck, all of them that are supposed to be funny are reeeeally funny. I'm gonna go read them all and probably favorite every single one of them. At least the Bleach ones.
I'm gonna go spam your email some more.

You've the beginnings of a good plot... Why haven't you continued it? You definitely are a good enough writer to do so.
Please update this story.

This makes me smile, seeing as I've been a secret TatsukiXGrimmjow fan for some time. Though I'm a guilty fan of one-shots, this individual story is in dire need of a part two...or three...or more. You know what I'm asking for. Though I know that it's probably pointless to beg, PLEEEEEEAAAASE 8D?
| Kurohana Frost chapter 1 . 6/7/2010
hehe, i just wrote something that made me think of pairing Tatsuki and Grimmy together. thus, i got a craving. thank you for sating it P
anyway, great job keeping grim in character. i'm sure he'd really say/think those things o. he's such an incurable ass. i love it D

buttocks studies - pencil drawing by rafaterWatch
©2013-2015 rafater
i was wanting to do a study of each part of the body and i started at feet and was working up and was about to start butt, but i hadnt worked on it in some time, but this is a great inspiration to continue, thanks!
dat ass
o /

Beautiful work!
daymn now that is one hell of an a$$
I would love any tips you can offer, this is perfect, and is the style I want to draw in.
Good job. Great study. Flawless execution.
I didn't think that thoes words would land on my keyboard in this way buuuut... thoes butts help in drawing...
Well,atleast this is ass with a REASON,and not some poorly photographed pic of some girl's ass.
Very nice!
That ass is smoother than my life...
mueno amigo sigue adelante
i was hoping the title of this piece was just "Butts" but buttocks studies sounds professional and yet hilarious too. and nice butts btw great shading.
For science.
Looks nicely drawn and...s-soft Σ(´∀`;)
This is Nice Great work love it
In hindsight, this is very nice work!
booty work, booty work, booty booty BOOTY WORK!!
mmm... butts. Very nice butts.
Excuses for just drawing a bunch of ass! XD
This will be a great help!
Anatomy her ass lol
Look at all dat' booty!
Butt! hur hur
how not to worship them?
great work
This should probably have mature filter on it.
Nudity and a couple poses are sexual
Sexual? Does the ASS have to be viewed as sexual? I don't agree with you.
This is not sexualised at all. Really?
Come on.
This is not sexualised at all. Really?
Come on.
The position of the body more so the sexual part, it is definitely not modest lol.
Despite differing opinions, the site rules do ask to put a mature filter onto things that contain nudity.
Despite differing opinions, the site rules do ask to put a mature filter onto things that contain nudity.

good reliable vehicle,stops at every

I bought this vehicle off lease. It
has most of the available
options. I've added a K&N Air Intake
and FlowMaster exhaust. These
additions, plus shifting the onboard
computer into "police mode" probably
get you close to 300 horsepower. This
is a wonderful machine, capable of
rugged off-roading and neck snapping on-
road performance. Fit and finish were
unsurpassed by any vehicle I've owned
to date. Truly fun to drive!

Good overall, nice SUV 4x4, love Jeep!
Fun to drive, heater warms up quickly,
windows don't fog up in winter,
Infinity stereo system is awesome !
Better gas mileage, shifter needs to
lock into gear better, it feels like it
could pop out of "D" with a slight bump.

Originally written on IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS caught | Last updated 3/25/13
In December - as Yankee fans watched Russell Martin, Nick Swisher and Rafael Soriano march toward the exit; as Torii Hunter, Josh Hamilton and Melky Cabrera knocked on the door, without so much as a response - Isiah Cashman uttered the famous new policy of the Steinbrother era: "Beggars can't be choosers."Theoretically, it meant the sons of the owner were instituting a new strategic plan: The team would shrink its payroll to $189 million by 2014 and avoid paying taxes. (If there was a stadium in the Cayman Islands, they would be playing there now.) The Yankees would develop players through its farm system and avoid massive financial debts.Then it signed Ichiro Suzuki to a two-year contract. Today, the Yankees are on the verge of assuming the debt mountain of Vernon Wells, a 34-year-old, 230-pound DH, who has hit .222 over the last two years and almost never draws a base on balls. They have done this in an apparent attempt to placate a fan base increasingly angered over such disastro...

I work at a Wal-Mart Pharmacy and I have enough stories to publish a book that would make War and Peace look like a Jack Chick pamphlet. The grossest thing I've seen would be the old lady that took a shit on our bench - the stain went up the entire bench and smelled bad enough that they got rid of the bench. Another time an old lady came to my window lifted up her shirt to show me flea bites on her stomach, then pulled it over her head asking if we sold that particular brand of bras. Another time a guy with a tracheostomy was dropping off a new Rx and coughed a wad of phlegm that came out of the hole in his neck and landed on my arm. Another gross thing I heard was a lady on the phone who wanted something for vaginal dryness because when she walked, "it stuck together and hurt something awful" I really could go on for days. I need a new job.
A friend of mine worked at an IGA or something a few years back. One night when he was on cash, a very guy who was in line with his caretaker announced loudly that he's "GOTTA POOP!" before letting out a DBZ roar, dropping his pants, squatting, and spraying diarrhoea all over the floor. Yeah.
I was in line behind this lady, must have been in her 60's or 70's. Quite large, looked like she hadn't taken very good care of herself.
She had about 5 or 6 of the 12 packs of toilet paper on the little conveyor belt thing. At first I thought she was just one of those people who buy a bunch of stuff at once so they don't have to go out that often. That theory went straight out the window when she let out this mustard gas cloud of a fart.
It was so bad that I couldn't breathe. I was literally choking on it.
I was a pretty young kid. My mom had dragged me to Wal-Mart so she could pick up some groceries. Naturally, I was bored as fuck. I start looking around for some something to amuse myself with (I enjoyed pointing out funny products like "Bone-suckin' Sauce" and the hilariously fiber-filled "Uncle Sam" cereal), when suddenly a dark grey blob darted out from between a couple of cans of beans.
"A mouse, mom!"
"No really, look!"
Sure enough, the little bugger was performing a magnificent slalom act between cans of beans. Towards the end of the isle were bags of dried beans. There was a brief rustle when the mouse finally reached the end of the line between the beans, along with the tell-tale clatter of loose ones clattering to the shelf below. My mom seemed terribly amused by this (probably because she wasn't in the market for beans in a bag), so I took that as a green-light to go and investigate. Wedged between the bags of beans, which had obviously been there for some time, were wads of stuffing, insulation, and loose threads. Little mousey was raising a big, happy family!
I was looking for a tennis racket when I see this kid starting to dry heave. His mother hands him a tiny little tissue. Vomit quickly overwhelms the little kleenex that just couldn't. The frothy puke splatters everywhere. His mother looks at him and walks away.
I worked at Wal-Mart for my high school job, from June 1997 to August 1999. My first summer there the company decided to have one of those Parking Lot Carnivals to bring in more shoppers, and hired a carnival company or some such entity to run the thing. Something management didn't bank on (which usually meant this was common sense), was that we got all of the disgusting Carnies and the issues that came along with that.
You name it, it happened. For three days we had Carnies cussing at children in the store, harassing customers, middle-aged Carnies following teenage girls around, and generally treating the store like a hotel.
The last day of the Carnival I went to use the bathroom only to find two Carnies in there using the fucking men's bathroom like it was their own personal shower. Needless to say I hightailed it out of there, and went back about half an hour later. The Carnies were kind enough to leave their dirty clothes lying on the bathroom floor, including soiled underwear. Used, soiled, Carnie underwear.
The Carnival didn't take place the next summer.
Did Louis C.K. jerk off in front of two female comics? And why are these ladies squandering an opportunity to learn from a comedy legend?
Elliot said my breakup must have been due to the sweater curse, an unexplained phenomenon where anyone who gives their significant other a hand-knit sweater gets dumped. The only way to break the curse, Elliot said, was to destroy the sweater.

'Bridesmaids' Director Paul Feig Boards Universal's 'The Better Woman'
While a sequel to Bridemaids remains up in the air, its director Paul Feig is returning to Universal for the romantic comedy The Better Woman.
The project centers on an executive whose boyfriend leaves her for an older woman. The exec then searches out the woman to find out what went wrong in the relationship.
THR's 2011 Biggest Rule Breakers: 'Bridesmaids' Breakouts
Amy Sherman-Palladino, the creator of TV's Gilmore Girls, wrote the screenplay from an idea by Ron Bass and Jen Smolka.
Julie Yorn is producing.
Feig has been with the project for several months, even before he considered directing a third installment of the Bridget Jones movie series (he ultimately passed, and the movie, tentatively titled Bridget Jones' Baby, will be directed by Peter Cattaneo).
THR COVER STORY: Melissa McCarthy Working on Comedy with 'The Help' Director; How 'SNL' Made Her Cry
Feig directed Bridesmaids, one of the big surprise hits of last year. A sequel has been in a holding pattern for months as the movie's star Kristen Wiig has focused on other projects.

This Edwardian landmark, distinctly urbane in setting and style, stands on a hill high over the lake, with layers of city scenery draped behind. It faces a city street, so to take advantage of its views you need a back room. Shaded by an enormous indoor tree, the lobby is exquisite. Classic rooms blend new and old with contemporary tones and period details such as marble fireplaces. The sleek, calming spa offers a wide array of treatments and classes.
