In most wealthy countries, married people file separate income tax returns, reporting their individual income, just as they would if they were single.

But, in the United States, a system of joint tax returns results in a marriage penalty for some, and a marriage bonus for others. The marriage penalty is the additional taxes that couples pay when filing jointly, compared to what they would pay if each person were allowed to filed individually. The penalty stems mostly from the fact that tax rates rise as income rises — and the brackets for married people and single people are different. Yet the penalty is far from uniform. The largest marriage penalties fall on couples on either end of the income spectrum — poor or affluent — as well as on couples in which the two people are making similar amounts of money. In marriages without children, the largest bonuses, in percentage terms, occur when couples have income just under $100,000 and only one earner. Down.

Being Poor Is Too Expensive. Year two: a fresh look at how to create a capsule wardrobe | Un-Fancy. Okay, I’m excited. This is year two of my grand capsule wardrobe experiment. Woohoo! Whenever I start a something new — like a new workout routine or a new habit — I like to approach it with a set of rules.

I thrive in a structured environment at the beginning. But … as time goes on, and the new thing becomes a part of my life, I like to loosen that structure up a bit and let it be organic. So I’ve always known my approach to capsule wardrobes would change over time. But I never knew exactly what my new approach would look like. I finally figured it out. The solution came out of a moment* of major frustration. (*two and a half weeks) Here’s the short version: This winter, at some point, I lost the spirit of why I do this — why I live with capsule wardrobes. I woke up one day and it was just about following rules. And we all know that anything done for the sake of the rules is bound to fail. So I took some time to get back to the heart of it all.

And most importantly: I do it because I like it. Capsuleplanner UPDATED. What's Your Favorite Pen? I've Found My Holy Grail of Headphones: The AKG Q701.

Sous-Vide 101: How to Cook the Most Tender and Flavorful Meat You’ve Ever Tasted. Sorry I didn't mean to say that a crock-pot cannot be used. I definitely agree that a crock-pot can be used and if you already have one and don't want to spend any money on a rice cooker and the performance is good enough stick with that!

However, I think for someone starting from scratch who's going to go to the trouble and expense of building a PID controller they might as well spend a few more dollars on a rice cooker rather than a crock-pot. I didn't say all crock-pots heat from the side but the one I have does and I know I've seen others that do as well. My point about temperature distribution was not that convection is the main method of heat transfer in sous vide cooking. Rather, I was trying to say that heating from the bottom causes more convection currents or circulation than would occur with side heating so that the water from various parts of the bath are mixed and thus there is no (or significantly reduced) temperature gradient. The Best Headphones. Five Best Earbuds. I tried a bunch of different high end buds recently trying to decide which was my favorite.

I gave all of these a shot: Shure SE535: Great fit, but the rolled off highs were annoying...the treble isn't as clear as you'd like it to be, and the bass is lacking. I'm not a bass-nut, but I like to at least "feel" the punch of the bass some. They sound very good, but they are in no way worth their absurd $500 price IMO (I found used in the mid $200s, but ended up not buying them). Klipsch Image x10: They had the biggest bass out of any buds I've ever heard, but the bass totally overpowers the mids and highs, making the sound very muddy. Ultimate Ears 700: Crystal clear highs and mids, but the bass is lacking. ...and the winner, the Ultimate Ears Triplefi 10's: "Holy shit!
