 capable. I try to reinforce those, too, whenever he complains about work by telling him that he does so much and gets no respect, and it seems to help. I do admittedly coddle him sometimes since I, as a person, rather just do something fast myself rather than teach because I lack the patience. 

I agree there are opportunities, and I hope that he'll mature sooner rather than later for my sanity's sake hahaha.Prize - $500

I like what you’ve written 🙂
Happy New Year!
Thank you! 🙂
Hi Chabz!
Your photos are amazing and your prose very well written and entertaining. It makes me feel like I’m there myself. I couldn’t say it more than I already have — I AM SUPER PROUD OF YOU! Dang, it makes me feel old when I call to mind my last memory of you, at the same time makes me reflect how my own twilight years are around the corner but haven’t been around as much as you have. I’m envious of those eyes that have seen so much yet blessed that you have the gift of words to retell the tales. Much much love from me … and I guess the rest of the RYPIT fambam 😀
Ate KayeClose the private equity tax loophole now
Commentator Robert Reich
TEXT OF COMMENTARY
LISA NAPOLI: Private equity buyers are swarming around the phone company Alltel. The Wall Street Journal reports this morning that suitors are holding meetings with the $22 billion phone company. Meanwhile, how to account for the incomes of private equity partners is the subject of informal meetings on Capitol Hill this week. Marketplace commentator Robert Reich has some advice for them.
ROBERT REICH: Way back in the 1970s, newly-minted MBAs with dollar signs in their eyes wanted to be CEOs.
And then in the 1980s, they went into investment banking, because the money was even better there.
In the 1990s, they went into high-tech venture capital and dot-coms.
Now, it's private equity.
Why? Well, the average big-company CEO has to do with a measly $7 million a year, taxed at 35 percent. But private-equity partners raking in hundreds of millions a year are taxed at 15 percent — less than the tax rate paid by middle-class Americans.
And what exactly do private-equity partners do? They use the investment money of pension funds and college endowments and wealthy investors to buy up publicly-held companies and turn them briefly into privately-held companies.
And then they do what you might do when you want to resell your home — redecorate, refurbish, knock out some walls, apply fresh paint, sell the furniture.
Sometimes, they keep the same CEO of the publicly-held company, give him some private equity too and tell him to apply the good ideas he's stored up but never implemented when he was just earning $7 million a year as CEO. Because now he can really cash in.
And then a few years later, the private-equity partners resell the company to the public — usually at a big profit, with a fat cut of billions of dollars for themselves.
And those billions are only taxed at 15 percent. That's because those billions are considered a capital gain from investment. And courtesy of the Bush tax cuts, that tax rate is the lowest ever.
But really, those billions are compensation. What these guys pay themselves for their work.
Now, the tax-writing committees of Congress are taking a look at this giant loophole and private-equity partners are besieging them.
And of course, screaming: "No! You can't do this to us. We won't work as hard if we're taking home only $60 million a year instead of $80 million. And that will cripple the American economy."
Baloney.

To confirm, type [branch name]The illegitimate son of the actress Ellen Terry and the architect Edward William Godwin, Edward Gordon Craig made his first stage appearance with his mother at the age of six. Although he initially worked as an actor, around 1893 he met the artists William Nicholson and James Pryde, and from them learned the art of wood engraving. In 1899 he abandoned his career as an actor and took up the practice of stage design and scenography. By the early years of the 20th century, Craig collaborated with Martin Shaw on modern productions of Henry Purcell’s 'Dido and Aeneas', 'The Mask of Love', and 'Acis and Galatea'.
In 1904 Craig was invited to Berlin to work with the Lessing Theatre, and there wrote 'The Art of the Theatre'. It was also in Berlin that he met Isadora Duncan, whose manager and lover he became. In Berlin Craig worked with Max Reinhardt on productions of 'The Oresteia', 'The Tempest', 'Macbeth', 'Oedipus' and 'King Lear', although only the last was completed. He also worked in Florence, Copenhagen and Moscow, where he designed a famous production of 'Hamle't in 1912. Between 1908 and 1929, Craig published 'The Mask', the most influential theatrical magazine of the day, as well as several books on the theatre, although his activity as a stage designer lessened considerably after the First World War, and his last stage production was mounted in 1929. Craig spent the last years of his life in the South of France, and in 1937 published an autobiography, entitled 'Index to the Story of my Day's. On his death he left much of his collection of theatrical material to the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.
