Homemade au gratin potatoes recipe from scratch
I try not to eat too many potatoes, or any other starchy carbohydrates for that matter, but every now and again I start jonesing for something along the lines of au gratin potatoes.
They are a welcome change to other potato options, like Five Guys fries or Five Guys Cajun fries, which I seem to eat a lot more often than I care to admit. Hazards of the profession, I suppose…
Now, I have been putting off making an au gratin potatoes recipe for years, mainly because I just didn't trust myself to accomplish the task that I saw made on TV way back when. It seemed so simple, but it also seemed like something I would just screw up in a major way.
Well, I was right and I was wrong…
The first recipe I made called for adding eggs, heavy cream and various spices. Simple enough, I guess. Almost too simple. I tend to take a recipe and try to 'make it my own,' so I started adding things; a dash of Sriracha sauce here, a tsp of horseradish there, etc.
I also took the time to soak the starches out of the potatoes, but not the time to thoroughly dry the potatoes. A salad spinner would have come in handy, but I skipped the step out of sheer laziness.
Well, I also cut the potatoes too thickly, and the sauce broke and curdled, probably because of the acidity of the added ingredients and the water from the pre-soak.
It was an initial disaster. So, I ran the mixture through a colander and then baked them again, uncovered, for twenty minutes, then topped with some cheese. This time they came out crispier and tasted like they were supposed to taste.
I can be such a pig-headed idiot on occasion.
Here is the recipe I'll be making to perfection from here on out. It's so simple a 3-year old could make it, and actually seeing the video helps me to keep things in perspective and stay focused on the task at hand.
Easy au gratin potatoes
This au gratin potatoes recipe couldn't be any simpler! Now, my favorite homemade au gratin potatoes recipe from scratch will be a snap, and there will be no more straying from the script on this one…!
Ingredients for this au gratin potato recipe: russett potatoes, grated cheese, half & half, salt and pepper to taste, bread crumbs and melted butter
Optional ingredients: dry mustard powder, garlic, more exotic spices than just salt and pepper

Coming Soon: The New Mondrian Hotel Scottsdale
Who would've thought that the heart of Scottsdale would become the center of hip? And in this newly-glamorous and fashionable city, the Mondrian Hotel Scottsdale stands out as the sexiest thing around, much like its sister hotel in West Hollywood. Morgans Hotel Group (with its luxurious design-focused boutique hotels) has done it again. This 200-room "Urban Resort" is sophisticated and exciting, conveniently located overlooking the Scottsdale Mall gardens. Guest rooms are sleek and comfortable, with Wireless Internet, 42-inch plasma TVs, 300-thread count luxury bedding and European pillow top mattresses topped off with six pillows, Agua bath products, 200 movies on-demand and a deluxe CD sound system with an iPod connection. The suites boast deep tubs and wrap-around patios. Of course the Mondrian Scottsdale features signature design elements such as the Indoor/Outdoor Lobby, the Bar with large, open fireplace, and two beautifully designed swimming pools and jacuzzi. Morgans Hotel Group is planning the hotel's re-launch for later this year, with the opening of the legendary Skybar and Jeffrey Chodorow's Asia de Cuba. Rock on.

Escape World Cup Madness with SLH Member Hotels
June 15, 2006
By: Editorial AdvisoryBoard
from Courtney W. May and Lanny Grossman, Director of Communications for Small Luxury Hotels of the World
Now that the World Cup is officially underway in Germany (my bracket has the Czech Republic walking away with it all - even though I am a huge US fan), some travelers might be looking for alternatives to dealing with the crazed soccer fans who have descended on Germany this summer. Personally, I can't imagine not wanting to be in the thick of things, but if you're one of those looking to go away during June, SLH has the following promotion "7 : 0 for Small Luxury Hotels: Best Escapes from the Soccer World Championship".
With World Cup madness hitting Germany and much of Western Europe, here are seven ways to visit the region and escape to a world of private luxury and ultimate experiences.
Wild Water Rafting in the Austrian alps: Around Kitzbuhel numerous river routes through spectacular mountain gorges are available for wild water rafting excursions, which the Hotel Tennerhof (www.slh.com/tennerhof) can arrange for its guests. A more tranquil alternative exclusiv for hotel guests: Fishing at a lake nearby where the Tennerhof holds private fishing rights.
Falconry in baroque gardens: As stylish as the ambiance of the castle hotel Chateau St. Gerlach (Netherlands) are the leisure activities of this SLH hotel: Golf, Horse-Riding, Tennis and falconry are on offer in the hotel's baroque gardens and in the wonderful nature of the Geul valley. (pictured)
Clay Pigeon shooting high above Mozart town: Salzburg lies afoot the Vitalhotel Kobenzl. On the Gaisberg mountain, high above the city, which celebrates this year Mozart's 250th anniversary, the Hotel offers attractive sporting alternatives: Clay Pigeon shooting, fishing, mountain hiking and biking as well as sailing, tennis and croquet.
Hot Air Balooning in the Black Forest: The Hotel Belle Epoque (www.slh.com/belleepoque), a neo renaissance villa from 1870, arranges sightseeing flights from Baden-Baden into the wonderful nature of the Black Forrest.
Archery in nature's paradise: Golf, Horse-riding, archery, mountain climbing and many more activities offers the Hoteldorf Gruner Baum (www.slh.com/grunerbaum) in the spectacular mountain world of Gastein. The main building of the hotel was built 1831 as hunting lodge for Duke Johann. Besides the countless leisure activities of the hotel the surroundings tempt visitors with romantic castles, dripstone caves and the national parc Hohentauern.
Formula 1 at the Hotel die Hirschgasse: The hotel offers a Formel 1-Package, which includes a three nights stay in a suite with jacuzzi, daily breakfast buffet and a bottle of champagne at arrival. Tickets and transfer to the Grand Prix at Hockenheimring can be arranged by the concierge. The package is available from 27 to 30. July 2006 and costs 1.300 Euro per room. www.slh.com/diehirschgasse
Arlberg from a bird's eye view: Many guests of the SLH Hotel Kristiania Lech in Austria (www.slh.com/kistiania) arrive by helicopter and enjoy a bird's eye view of the wonderful alpine nature: only 300 metres from the hotel, guests can also find a paragliding field .

Hot Tables: Tower Restaurant in Edinburgh, Scotland
"Uniquely for a museum this has become the hottest table in Edinburgh"-- AA Gill, The Sunday Times
"....food so sublime it eclipses the wine. Almost" --Iain Banks, The Observer
Atop the Museum of Scotland, perched above the city with spectacular views of the castle and Edinburgh's defining landmarks, the Tower Restaurant has become one of the world's hottest dining destinations since its opening in 1998. Located on the roof of the striking 20th-century sandstone-clad building, the Tower has developed a reputation for the finest seasonal produce in the country. Open every day for lunch and dinner, the restaurant woos with superlative dining (featuring fresh local produce), signature service, and breathtaking views. The extensive menu highlights Argyll oysters, lobster, Fife crab, and platters of seafood, with the grill providing the Tower's signature Aberdeen Angus (proudly hung for 21 days) served with potato scone and Portobello mushrooms.

Bryant Park's Best Event Seats - The Penthouse
June 13, 2006
By: Editorial AdvisoryBoard
by Courtney W. May for Bryant Park Hotel, New York CitySituated directly across from New York City's storied Bryant Park, and steps away from the media, fashion, retail and transportation centers of Manhattan, the Bryant Park Hotel's midtown address alone renders it prime accommodations for the business or leisure traveler alike. Get the most out of your trip by reserving their Penthouse Suite (pictured). Make sure you do it when something exciting is happening in Bryant Park or when you can devote some time to park and people watching on your balcony. P.S. The Bryant Park bathroom - the actual Park's bathrooms aren't just outhouses - was awarded the title of "best in America" by Citysearch users in 2002 so make sure you check that out too.Penthouse Suite DetailsLocation: The Bryant Park Hotel is 25 stories tall with only 128 guest rooms. The Penthouse Suite occupies the entire 24th floor with surrounding views of the New York City skyline.Size: 1,100 square feet (better then all of Manhattan's apartments)Rooms: The Penthouse features 1 and a half baths, a dinning area for up to 6 people, living room, bedroom and balcony. The Living Room: Notable aspects of the living room include one of the Suite's two 32" High Definition LCD flat screen televisions and a desk equipped with internet access is available for any business needs. Bathroom: A sleek double-headed shower, as well as an oversized bathtub, provides a luxurious bathing experience plus you can hoard Molton Brown products in your suitcase and keep asking the housekeeping staff and front desk to send you more. Balcony: Accessible through the Bedroom, the balcony provides amazing views which include the lawn of Bryant Park and the Manhattan skyline (make sure you bring binoculars).Note Bene: Through floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the view of the Empire State Building illuminated at night, all the while immersed in a flower-petal-infused bubble bath with your BOSE Wave Music System and a BOSE SoundDock Digital Music System for Apple iPod playing that hip music kids these days are listening to. Too cheap to get the Penthouse Suite? The Bryant Park Hotel does also have 16 suites, 10 park-view terraces, and a rooftop loft space with 360-degree skyline panoramas. They all have a fresh contemporary decor and signature room appointments that include authentic Tibetan rugs, goose-down duvets, and travertine marble bathrooms, even without shelling out the Penthouse nightly rate. Other New York Suites: Plaza Athenee's Penthouse Suite, "Park Avenue Suite at The Regency in New York City", "The Carlyle Hotel in New York City (Re)Opens The Royal Suite", "The Triplex Penthouse at the Time", and "Suite Escapes: the Mandarin Oriental New York Celebrates its Taipan Suite".

Get the Royal Treatment in Tuscany: L'Andana Hotel and Restaurant
June 9, 2006
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Once owned by Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany, this spectacular villa was transformed from an agricultural estate into an exquisite country inn and restaurant by legendary celebrity chef Alain Ducasse. Set within olive groves and vineyards, L'Andana Hotel is situated on a 500-hectare estate where gourmet olive oil and divine wine are produced for expectant foodies. The 33 guestrooms are beautifully appointed with views over the surrounding Tuscan countryside, and the suites boast fireplaces. The restaurant, as expected of Alain Ducasse, is excellent. There are recreational activities aplenty: cooking courses, horseback riding, tennis, heated swimming pool, guided tours, mountain biking, and (coming soon) golf. And the newly opened spa is a food-inspired dream, featuring ingredients from the kitchen garden such as olives, lavender, grapes, sunflowers and herbs. Enjoy relaxing treatments overlooking the vineyards and outdoor marble pool.
New Cooking School at the Hotel Meurice, Paris
June 8, 2006
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
That's right. The opulent Parisian hotel has a new Culinary and Lifestyle Academy for folks to learn (and hopefully master) the art of French savoir-vivre. The landmark Hotel Meurice has always been ranked one of the most elegant hotels in the world, so we can trust that this fashionable new school will provide the best kind of expertise in subjects such as flower-arranging, wine-tasting, and pastry-making. Saturday classes include morning and afternoon sessions, with 12 students max. a class. Starting at EUR 105 per person.

Freshman point guard Darius Washington scored 25 points and Calipari earned his 300th victory in the Tigers' 85-68 win over No. 9 Louisville on Wednesday.
``I'm calm now,'' said Calipari, who turns 46 on Thursday. ``But when I get near the plane, I'm going to do some back-flips up the steps. I'm so happy.''
Rodney Carney added 24 points and Anthony Rice had 15 -- all in the second half -- for the Tigers (14-10, 7-3 Conference USA), who beat a Top 25 team on the road for the first time in five tries this season and snapped Louisville's nine-game winning streak.
``We played hard, we scrambled and we played hard on defense,'' Calipari said. ``But it was our day.''
Calipari has a 300-120 record in 13 seasons at Massachusetts and Memphis.
Taquan Dean and Ellis Myles each scored 17 points for Louisville (20-4, 8-2), which suffered its worst home loss in four seasons under Coach Rick Pitino.
A frustrated Pitino kept his players away from the media afterward.
``Our locker room is closed,'' he said. ``I don't think they are worthy of speaking to you.''
Louisville was leading the nation in margin of victory coming into the game (+23), but Pitino has been saying for weeks that the Cardinals have plenty of improvements to make.
The Tigers exposed many of their flaws, outrebounding Louisville 41-30 and holding the nation's fourth-best offense to 33 percent shooting (19-of-58), a season low.
``I knew it was coming,'' Pitino said, ``I just didn't think it would be this bad.''
The Cardinals rank second in the nation in field goal percentage defense, but the Tigers' defense took control early, triggering a 16-5 opening run by holding the Cardinals without a point for more than 9 minutes.
Louisville, averaging 85 points per game, missed seven straight shots and committed five turnovers during the drought. At the end of one sloppy possession, Myles threw up just the ninth 3-point attempt of his career, missing it badly.
``The first 10 shots we took were terrible shots,'' Pitino said.
The Tigers, meanwhile, committed only one turnover in the first 12 minutes after coughing up a season-high 26 in a loss to Houston last Saturday.
Much of that was due to Washington, who repeatedly glided through the Cardinals' full-court pressure for layups.
``I was breaking the press, getting in the middle,'' said Washington, who had five assists and five rebounds. ``I was taking it and they just fell.''
Myles made two free throws with 7:47 left in the half to end Louisville's scoreless stretch. He had a layup and zipped an assist to Francisco Garcia to trim Memphis' lead to 16-11.
Carney then hit two 3-pointers during a 10-2 run that muted the capacity crowd. He and Washington scored 28 of the Tigers' 34 first-half points. The Cardinals mustered only 22 first-half points after missing 15 of 20 shots.
Louisville continued to sputter in the second half, missing 10 of its first 13 shots.
Rice hit a 3-pointer with 16:49 left to launch a decisive 16-2 run. Garcia hit a free throw with 11:05 left, but Rice made a 3-pointer to push the lead to 57-31, the Tigers' biggest to that point.
``I was shocked,'' Washington said. ``We got them down and we kept them down.''
Dean hit a 3-pointer with 7 minutes left as Louisville's defense finally started generating turnovers and easy baskets.
A layup by Myles with 5:12 to go trimmed Louisville's deficit to 66-49, but Rice made four free throws over the next minute as the Tigers pushed the lead back over 20.
The victory was a much-needed confidence boost for a team that's dealt with its share of adversity. Last month, guard Jeremy Hunt was briefly suspended after he was charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend and forward Sean Banks was ruled ineligible because of poor grades.
``It helps us a lot to beat Top 25 team,'' Carney said. ``Not a lot of teams come in here and win.''
Louisville had a 10-game home-court winning streak snapped and matched its worst defeat at Freedom Hall since a 74-57 loss to UAB on Feb. 28, 2001, former coach Denny Crum's final regular-season home game.
Garcia, Louisville's leading scorer, went 1-for-8 and scored seven points.

Men's Soccer
San Diego State at USD (SCRIMMAGE)
Thursday August 21, 7:00 p.m.
Torero Stadium
Tickets: $5.00 - includes pregame Tailgate & BBQ, make sure to wear blue and show your Torero pride!
Coverage: Live Video | Live Stats
SCOUTING THE AZTECS: San Diego State was picked to finish fifth in the preseason Pac-12 poll... They have eight returning letterwinners, but have a very young squad that features 19 newcomers... Their incoming recruiting class was ranked No. 37 in the nation... USD leads the all-time series 6-12-2, and the Aztecs won the last time they played in 2013.
SEASON OUTLOOK: After a surprise run to the Elite Eight in the 2012 NCAA Tournament, the Toreros struggled with a young and inexperienced squad in 2013. The 2014 team brings back 22 players including nine returning starters. The Toreros were picked to finish third (tying Portland) in the preseason WCC poll and had two players, Connor Brandt and Torrey DeArmas, chosen to the preseason All-WCC team.
Brandt, a midfielder from Temecula, led the Toreros in goals (five), assists (six), and points (16) last season. DeArmas (Escondido, Calif.) was an All-Freshman team selection in 2012 and All-WCC second team pick in 2013, contributing nine points a season ago. Joining them will be Keegan Smith (Temecula, Calif.), a 2013 All-WCC honorable mention pick, and Julian Ringhof (Sexau, Germany), who was awarded a sixth year of eligibility after being named to the 2013 All-WCC First team.
The Toreros' 2014 schedule features six matches against 2013 NCAA Tournament participants, with four of them coming at home. After opening their home schedule against Buffalo (Aug. 29) and Cal State Fullerton (Sept. 1), the Toreros will host a trio of schools who made a postseason run a year ago; Bradley (Sept. 12), New Mexico (Sept. 14), and UCLA (Sept. 26). New Mexico and UCLA were both ranked in the top five in the NSCAA preseason poll. The Toreros will travel to face UC Irvine (Sept. 21), who advanced to the Sweet 16 last season. USD will also face reigning WCC champ LMU twice this season. First in a non-counter game at home on October 10 and then again on the road in the season finale Nov. 15.
The WCC schedule has a different look in 2014. With Pacific bringing back men's soccer for the first time in 28 years, there are now eight WCC schools with men's soccer programs. The addition of the Tigers prompted the switch to a seven match conference slate with each school playing each other once. In the past every WCC school squared off against each other twice per year.
Seamus McFadden is returning for his 36th season at the helm. As the only coach in program history, McFadden has racked up 350 career wins and been named WCC Coach of the Year a record eight times while collecting seven WCC championships.

Its funny, when this place opened I thought it was the best Bevmo around, but then that was probably in 2007 or so (right around the time that FW XI came out). Since then they havent expanded the beer selection much at all. That said, its still a nice store and its in a shopping center, conveniently across from both the Home Depot and the 24 Hour Fitness that I go to. Ill occasionally poke my head in.
My major complaint was this one employee that used to work there (still might, not sure). He was kind of an ass. Id ask for something and hed give me this attitude when ever it was something they didnt carry. Hed tell me to go travel to get these beers that other stores in the area were getting (Alaskan Barleywine for example).
brokensail (1347) Dublin, California | April 11, 2011
This BevMo is pretty close to my house, and it used to be a pretty solid one. Lately, however, they havent really been getting anything in terms of the special releases (or at least the staff I speak to have no idea what Im talking about). This is a pretty standard BevMo, though. Theyve got a decent selection of imports (probably better than other BevMos in the area), but youre better off paying Stan a few extra bucks at Lone Hill.
LtDan (65) Los Angeles County, California | January 16, 2010
One of the better Bevmos, but a cookie cutter of just about every other one Ive visited. The last time I was there, the guys were helpful in finding me what I was looking for. The selection was quite nice, and Im wondering if they are hip to Lone Hill,and thus stack their deck a bit. The prices are great, again beating Lone Hill. Overall, not bad.
Barreras (25) Diamond Bar, California | January 31, 2009
This place is your typical Bev Mo establishment. Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary about it. Decent selection and the staff have always been friendly and helpful.
Hophead22 (60) Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California | September 7, 2008
Typical BevMo. Decent selection, can usually find something your looking for. They even had some Cantillon Rose which suprised me. Unfortunatly for BevMo Lone Hill Liquor is only a mile away.

Michelle Obama 'Mid-Life Crisis' Inspired New Bangs Hairdo, 'Won't Let me Bungee Jump Instead Cut My Bangs' [VIDEO]
By Staff Writer | February 18, 2013 06:00 PM EST
Michelle Obama, the first lady of the United States just turned 49 and explained that her now-signature bangs was not fashion statement but rather a from "mid-life crisis."
During the Rachael Ray interview of "Q & Ray" through Skype for "Rachael Ray Show" Wednesday episode today, the first lady was asked about her much-discussed new hairstyle last month few days before President Barack Obama's second inauguration.
Obama said, "This is my mid-life crisis. I couldn't get a sports car. They won't let me bungee jump. So instead, I cut my bangs."
The first lady first shared her bangs through a photo uploaded on her Twitter account on her birthday last month which led the president quickly admitting he's a fan of the new hairdo, saying it was the "most significant" event of the weekend.
"I love her bangs. She looks good. She always looks good," President Obama shared at an inaugural reception night before the inauguration.
"The Rachael Ray Show" released a clip of the interview today however the full interview will not be available on air until Wednesday.
The first lady has appeared on "The Rachael Ray Show" before as she invited the talk show host to the White House for a bar-b-cue and shared some of her favorite football recipes on the show.

I've never met Matthew Goldstein, but judging by his bio I don't think it's something I'd like to do. It reads like a stereotype of the elitist, leftist intelligentsia. A B.A. in English and History, an M.A. in World and Comparative Literature (whatever that means) and a Ph.D. in English, all from über-liberal universities, and a job at a community college in Oakland, California.
Dr. Goldstein has commented about blogs written last week criticizing Warren Buffett's recent pronouncement that he doesn't pay enough taxes (like mine):
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett heated up the blogosphere with a recent New York Times op-ed piece, "Stop Coddling the Super-Rich."
. . .
But when the Sage of Omaha starts offering old-fashioned soak-the-rich rhetoric, people take notice. And support from those who stand to lose the most from a tax hike can only help the cause of so-called class-warriors, right?
Well, maybe.
When taxes on the nation's highest earners become an expression of noblesse oblige, they may only reinforce existing economic inequalities. Doesn't any middle-class society worthy of the name need to make the super-rich pay their taxes?
Well, actually, no. You see, middle-class societies depend on the "super-rich". Those super-rich people are the ones investing the money in job-creating new businesses, like the investment groups behind Google and Twitter. They invest in existing corporations, like the people buying out the shares of GovernmentGeneral Motors and yes, investors in Berkshire Hathaway. Their money, sitting in banks, is loaned to mom-and-pop stores and workshops, and to middle-class families buying new homes. When that money is ripped-away in the form of taxes to pay for phantom "green jobs", nanny-state policies and to "protect the poor", it's not available to create new or grow existing businesses and hence, new jobs for poor and middle-class workers.
Mr. Goldstein clearly doesn't understand this, probably because it doesn't appear he's ever held a job outside of academia. In fact, I don't see in Mr. Goldstein's short biography any indication that he's at all qualified to comment on economics, business or taxes. Not that it matters to the San Francisco Chronicle or any other newspaper or to the liberals who will read his sophomoric prose and nod their heads appreciatively. He hasn't been tainted by the world of business or the careful study of the dismal science.
Based upon the previous paragraph, you might ask for my qualifications. Very well: I have a Bachelor of Business Administration (Cum Laude) from a small public university in New England that I'm enough ashamed of (due to poor performance and liberal stupidity--but I repeat myself) that I won't mention its name, and a Master of Business Administration from the well-regarded Terry College of Business at University of Georgia. I've received awards from APICS and from my employers for work I've done on increasing productivity and reducing costs. I was on a finalist team at the international Moot Corp competition at the University of Texas and the New Venture Championship at the University of Oregon (which my team won). I've held jobs ranging from minimum wage retail to hourly grunt work to professional work involving Information Systems Management, accounting and financial planning, operations management and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. My undergraduate studies included marketing and finance, and my education at UGA involved extended classwork in marketing, economics and entrepreneurship.
In other words, I know my... Er, stuff.
Dr. Goldstein can probably critique my grammar in this post at length, and I wouldn't dare to lecture Dr. Goldstein about the philosophical ramifications of our changing language structure or the cultural significance of Herman Melville or the Marquis de Sade; nor would I write an op-ed in a major newspaper (or blog) about English or literature. I'm simply not qualified. Hence, having Dr. Goldstein lecture his readers (and by extension, me) on the economic ramifications of heavy taxation upon high-income Americans is at best a wee bit pretentious and at worst naked socialist propaganda.
Enough attacking the messenger. Let's get down to what he actually said.
Dr. Goldstein recounts a story wherein he was teaching English to a wealthy corporate executive in Bologna, Italy. The executive surprised Dr. Goldstein when he explained that he was, in fact, a socialist.
In a conversation about politics one day--over espresso served on a silver tray by his secretary--he surprised me somewhat by announcing that he was a socialist. When I asked him to explain, he wondered if I'd ever seen Doctor Zhivago.
When I said of course, he asked if I remembered the scene when Omar Sharif returns from the war to find his family estate taken over by hordes of starving peasants. I nodded uncertainly.
"Well, I don't want those people in my house," he said.
Elitist? Most decidedly. But he was in fact making a compelling argument, based on enlightened self-interest, for treating society's most vulnerable decently: take care of the poor or the poor will take care of you.
I could comment on Doctor Zhivago being, in part, an indictment of socialism's destruction of the individual but as I said I'm no expert in such matters. So let's look at Dr. Goldstein's friend: He's not a socialist for altruistic reasons, and clearly he's not a practicing socialist wanting equality of outcomes or a spreading of wealth. Rather, he understands that his position is based entirely upon the good graces of the more numerous lower classes. If the lower classes get upset enough at the aristocracy and/or those with wealth, they can overthrow and start a new system. It's socialism as an insurance policy.
Strikingly, it's a self-defeating insurance policy. Higher taxes on businesses and wealthy individuals mean less investment in new businesses and new jobs. More people end up in social welfare programs. Eventually, the system doesn't bring in enough money, so the government just prints more cash resulting in inflation. The inflation makes the social welfare system even less effective and the result is social and economic upheaval. And when the societal enemy is "the Rich", the insurance policy Dr. Goldstein's friend chose becomes suicidal.
I can rephrase Dr. Goldstein's anecdote in just a few words: "Your money or your life." Give up the money and wealth you've worked hard to obtain, or risk a repeat of the Russian Revolution. It's robbery where the government is the one holding the gun.
There's another problem with Dr. Goldstein's article. Read what he says: "Ultimately, though, if we're really going to have the middle-class society we all say we want--with safe streets, clean water, good schools, etc.--we're all going to have to learn to love the taxman."
Um, actually, no, I don't want a "middle class society". I want a wealthy society (which, by the way, is what we have--just compare "middle class" Americans to "middle class"--well, anyone else). Settling for everyone being middle class isn't my idea of progress, and you don't get a wealthy or a middle class society from progressive taxation. You get an under-performing aristocratic society.
You see, Dr. Goldstein clearly doesn't understand the difference between income and wealth. We don't tax wealth. We tax income. We tax people who earn a lot of money, but that's not necessarily wealth. The vast majority of high-income individuals are people with small businesses who report their business income not in a 10-K filing with the SEC but on their personal 1040 form at the end of the year. Having business income of $250,000 this year doesn't necessarily translate into a 5,000 square foot house with three BMWs in the garage. Rather, it might translate into a new machine press for the workshop or replacing the outdated telephone system next year.
That, I suspect, is actually why Mr. Buffett likes the idea of raising taxes on "high income" individuals. First, since he pays capital gains taxes, it won't affect him since the majority of taxes he pays (well, when he pays them) are capital gains, not income taxes. Second, it makes it harder for privately-owned small proprietorships to compete with the corporate businesses he already owns. Third, it makes selling those private businesses to a financier like him an attractive alternative (and, by extension, the lower after-tax profits lowers the buy-out value of some sole-proprietorships). For Buffett, higher personal income taxes benefits him both directly and indirectly. For him, it's Win-Win.
And there's an even more sinister reason for Buffett to support progressive taxation: Basically, it amounts to, "I've already got mine." Buffett, after all, is one of the wealthiest people on the planet, at about $47 billion. This grants him power, influence and prestige. More progressive taxes don't affect him, even if the capital gains rate is raised to meet the income tax rate. Buffett's income last year was about $41 million, based on the 17% rate Buffett stated in his op-ed and reports that his taxes-paid were $7 million. It doesn't take a genius, or even 4th grade math skills, to figure out that Buffett's wealth has increased far beyond the rate of his income.
What am I driving at? Well, Buffett's got all this power and influence. He's Top Dog. Personal friends with the President of the United States, Senators, Congressmen, Governors and the like. There's only a couple of people in the world who have the kind of power and influence he's got. He can spend almost nothing out of his personal fortune and be king-maker in virtually any political arena he chooses. He has access and influence, and the biggest threat to that access and influence is the nouveau riche.
Okay, I'm not going Gormogon, here, nor is this a Bilderberg conspiracy. I'm just theorizing. Normally, I'm the one tearing down the "rich industrialists trying to take over the world" meme (after all, why be the target when you can just be friends with it?). I've only circumstantial evidence that this is actually his reasoning and I don't suspect he's acting in any conspiracy but rather solely out of self-interest. This theory just explains Buffett's hypocritical position on taxes and wealth. I mean, it's this or he got kicked in the head really hard by a mule awhile back.
"New money" means new people getting access and influence. It diminishes his access and influence, despite his great wealth. After all, there are laws about how much money one person can give to a political candidate. Even if there were no caps on political giving, if Warren suddenly gave, say, one billion dollars to the Obama campaign, it'd look mighty hinky and the blogosphere would go apoplectic about the "Bought and Paid-For President". So the new rich, even at a much smaller scale than him, are quite a threat to Mr. Buffett's power and prestige.
The best way to deal with new money, of course, is to keep the hard working individuals from getting it in the first place. That's what a progressive tax system does. The more money that is taxed from high-income individuals, the less money they have to spend on political candidates, lobbyists, political action committees, or any other political activity. It doesn't affect Warren: He has wealth. More progressive taxes ensure that his wealth and influence is still among the greatest.
In other words, progressive taxation doesn't benefit the poor. It ensures the continuation of the existing aristocracy.
I refuse to believe that Warren Buffett doesn't understand everything I've just explained. He's not a fool. He understands finance and economics and business, as he's proven time and again with his business deals. He's experienced the influence and power. He knows.
Dr. Goldstein clearly doesn't have a clue. His education hasn't covered this. He's way out of his sphere of knowledge. As a result, I don't think Buffett is the willing dupe of the Left, as some have decided. Rather, I suspect individuals like Dr. Goldstein are the willing dupes of Mr. Buffett.

What Clients Say About Us
Sarah J. Yakel
I would like to personally say how wonderful it was to work with Scott. Both Nathan and I were nervous about making ourselves appear "natural" on screen rather than as scripted. Scott came prepared with multiple camera views, soft lighting, and a fabulously casual attitude. Scott made shooting a video feel like a real conversation, rather than the script we had planned out. He was on time, professional, and got our video to us on time. We at Meridian Financial Partners 100% recommend Scott and can't wait to work with him again!
Shari Goodwin
Scott Harlan's expertise in video production combined with his good nature and business savvy helped me produce a compelling speaker reel and video for my website. As a busy entrepreneur, it's important to have fantastic folks you can trust to help you get your best out to the world. Scott is a key member of my team and I highly recommend his services to anyone dedicated to excellence.
Major Michael Vincent
Scott and Tina have such a passion for the mission of their clients. Their goals are designed to insure that their presentation is not only professional, but have such an added value called "heart". I have always appreciated their ability to go the extra mile, while never being asked to do so. They just do.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - The grueling daily workouts to strengthen a surgically repaired left shoulder now seem worth it for West Virginia's Joe Mazzulla.

Information provided by several individuals arrested recently helped clear up the killings of 36 people, including five reporters, in the eastern Mexican state of Veracruz, a high-level state official said.
The suspects, who belonged to the Jalisco Nueva Generacion drug cartel, confessed to their involvement in the murders, Veracruz Attorney General Amadeo Flores Espinosa said.
Isaias Flores Pineda, suspected of running the cartel's operations in the port city of Veracruz and neighboring Boca del Rio, was arrested last Friday by marines and police, Flores Espinosa said.
Six suspected Jalisco Nueva Generacion gunmen - Claudia Medina Tamariz, Cesar Tejeda Moreno, Pablo Arrieta Andrade, Pedro Temiz Zapot, Javier Benitez Grajales and William Malpica - were arrested along with Flores Pineda, the state AG said.
The suspects confessed to belonging to the cartel and carrying out numerous murders, including those of members of the media, Flores Espinosa said.
One of the suspects told "federal prosecutors that they killed several reporters," Flores Espinosa said.
The information obtained from the suspects helped investigators clear up the killings of Ana Irasema Becerra, who worked for the El Dictamen newspaper; Guillermo Luna, a reporter for the Veracruz News Web site and the daily La Voz del Sureste; and Victor Manuel Baez, who worked for the Milenio Veracruz newspaper, the state AG said.
Investigators were also able to clear up the murders of Gabriel Huge and Esteban Rodriguez, former photographers for the Notiver newspaper and the daily AZ, respectively, Flores Espinosa said.
The journalists were all murdered this year.
Juan Carlos Hernandez Pulido, another suspected Jalisco Nueva Generacion member arrested recently, had several identification cards belonging to slain journalist Ana Irasema Becerra, the state AG said.
The federal Attorney General's Office will be asked to take over the cases since an organized crime group was involved in the killings, Flores Espinosa said.
Federal prosecutors will take over the cases because federal crimes were committed, federal AG's office spokesmen told Efe.
Veracruz has been plagued by a turf war between rival drug cartels that has sent the state's murder rate skyrocketing over the past two years.
The federal government launched "Operation Safe Veracruz" last October in an effort to stem the wave of drug-related violence in the Gulf state.
The Gulf, Los Zetas and Jalisco Nueva Generacion cartels, as well as breakaway members of the once-powerful La Familia Michoacana organization, are fueling the violence in the state.
Veracruz, Mexico's third-most populous state, is coveted as a key drug trafficking corridor to the United States, officials say.
More than 50,000 people, according to official figures, have died in drug-related violence in Mexico since late 2006.
The Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity, which was founded by human rights activist and poet Javier Sicilia, puts the death toll at 70,000.
The violence has spiked this month, with the Mexico City daily Reforma reporting last Saturday that 231 people were murdered across the country from Aug. 4 to Aug. 10, raising the death toll for the year to 6,309. EFE

What is the imagery in "The Tell-Tale Heart"?
3 Answers | Add Yours
There is great imagery (5 senses) in this story. The first is the descriptions of the old man's eye, which is the catlyst for the murder: "He had the eye of a vulture—a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold." and then later, "all a dull blue, with a hideous veil over it that chilled the very marrow in my bones." Then, in the first half, you have repeated descriptions of the narrator's cautious, steady, silent stalking and waiting. The most effective repeated imagery is that of the heartbeat, which starts off as "a low, dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton," increases to a "hellish tattoo", and keeps getting "louder, louder!". The sound of the heartbeat increases the tension just as a movie soundtrack would, and leads to the murder and confession.
Poe uses images and imagery to help the reader feel like they are actually there, experiencing the situations and emotions, and it makes for a really great story.
Imagery in "The Tell-Tale Heart" has also been previously discussed. Please see the links below for more information.

Often times we are faced with the temptation to reach for a fast (and potentially wrongheaded) solution. However, a good strategic leader holds steady, synthesizing information from many sources before developing a viewpoint. If your leader lacks some level of peripheral vision, it can leave your company vulnerable to rivals who detect and act on ambiguous signals. We need strategic leaders who will foster open dialogue, build trust and engage key stakeholders, especially when views diverge. Find out how to become the strategic leader your company needs!

MAM_Music's curator insight, November 15, 2013 9:46 PM
Part of this article raises the question of whether we have too many orchestras and opera companies, further emphasizing the Salzburg Seminar's study that we're in a golden age of cultural participation. The article also points out that orchestras, theaters, and operas are competing with digital downloading, cable television, and closed-circuit simulcasts. As we discussed in class, new technologies are becoming the alternate form of entertainment for our audiences. But I don't think arts organizations should dismiss new technology so quickly, and some organizations are actually embracing new technology in a very creative way. The Seattle Opera and San Francisco Ballet come to mind., and they are utilizing technology around their community and constituents. I think this idea could also be transferred to their organizational structure. The Oakland Museum of California, for instance, completely restructured their staffing, also centering on the needs of the community.
MAM Theater's curator insight, November 2, 2013 10:19 AM
Wei: "The article along with the following comments provides an interesting image of how different forces---arts administration, foundation and artists, impact each other. In my view, more than innovation, Todd actually raised a cruel but critical question to the arts industry: who actually has the most powerful saying about art? It is not uncommon now that theaters as well as other kinds of arts organizations set goals of programming partly based on the expectations of foundations. For example, if foundations expect to see education, the organizations may provide more educational shows/programs. It might be true that foundations have somewhat impact on the decision making of mission statement or benchmarks of programming for arts organizations. What I see from this relationship is that artists' voice drowned in nonprofits' reliance on unearned revenue. However, when thinking it from the perspective from arts administration, it makes sense that we do programming partly to attract donations so that we can invest more resources into cultural institutions or artists. Also, it is the philanthropic dollars that makes shows cheaper to be accessible to more people. To be honest, I have no idea how to deal with these relationships, but what I learned is that an arts manager should shift more attention on protecting artists' innovation than catering to foundations' interests. When most arts organizations have similar missions and programs, it kills art's innovation in some way. An arts manager needs to be sensitive when setting artistic goals while balancing relationships with artists and foundations. More importantly, I saw a trend of rethinking the scope of foundations. In stead of saying, "you, as a theater should make innovation", it would be better say "your theatre should allow innovation to happen". To my knowledge, I believe that both founders and arts managers play a role of serving the community and artists rather than set rules for arts. Let arts happen freely, and cooperate to help art find its community. That's one way, in my view, of protecting and inspiring innovation…"
MAMDance's curator insight, November 3, 2013 10:51 PM
(KF). A really interesting article posted in the theater group. Two specific quotations include:
"And now we are challenged to add innovation to the list of empty phrases to live by."
"Since when is it the job of funders to dictate what every nonprofit should do? What is the Foundation's "core competency" that entitles them to tell museums, symphonies, dance and theater companies what is essential to fulfilling their separate, varied, and sometimes vital missions?"
Do organizations cater too much to what funders will fund? And, is "innovation" an empty phrase? The questions raised in the article are definitely applicable to the dance world, and it's interesting to see someone speak out against the buzzwords surrounding the arts world, which are now becoming rather generic.

In my latest book on business credit it discusses the value of crowd-funding and Indigogo as they will fund anything unlike Kickstarter that specializes in Media oriented endeavors.
Martin (Marty) Smith's comment, September 23, 2013 10:21 AM
Good insight from Iron Dane Richards. Easier to create a sure takeaway from Indigogo too since they will let campaigns increase the house take and walk away with something where Kickstarter is all or nothing. Either the campaign meets its goals or it gets nothing. 42% of the campaigns on Kickstarter meet their goals and most campaigns are funded at $10,000 or below.

Sony's latest offering is an overhead light fixture, rather unimaginatively named the Multifunctional Light. It is a connected device that's capable of communicating with other gadgets in a smart home, like smart air conditioners, thermostats and televisions, Sony claims that the device can also double up as an intercom system. The light fixture is apparently also able to read data from smart thermostats, and comes with a motion sensor and a microSD card slot. It is said to use its motion sensor to detect human presence in the room and accordingly, turn the TV on and off via infrared, but the utility of the microSD card slot has not yet been detailed by the Japanese consumer technology giant. Either way. all that sounds fairly interesting especially if you're into the 21st century smart home trend that is tipped to become a multi-billion dollar industry over the next few years.

It is not surprising to know that Google have a very strong coaching culture.
MAM Presenting's curator insight, November 30, 2013 1:15 AM
This article is about how the three-house system in Berlin works out. It is interesting to see the proximity of the opera houses both in terms of artistic vision and location. It seems to them that, instead of getting hurt from the fierce competition, being across the street has put them in a better position to attract audiences.
This cooperating methodology can be inspiring for arts institutions that are facing with more and more competitors today. I really like Mr. Schwarz's words in the end of the article: "We have to work together so that the whole world can say, this is where the most exciting opera is taking place".
MAM_Music's comment, November 30, 2013 11:07 AM
As much as exciting it is to have 3 established opera houses in only one city, there are also downsides to it. In Germany, cultural institutions rely heavily on public subsidies that cover around 80% of their income. In 2012/2013 the Berlin Opera Foundation alone received 121.5 million euros of public subsidies from the Federal State of Berlin. Given that, the independent art scene of the German capital has been protesting a lot in recent years against maintaining all three houses. Their main argument is that a lot of public money is wasted on the administrative apparatus of these big institutions, whereas it could benefit the arts directly. - Bianca
