Be grateful for being from the greatest nation on our planet. This picture is of a partially sunken vessel located off Staniel Cay in the Exumas. The USCG and Royal Bahamian Defense Force were called in on Christmas Day to assist as there were close to 100 Haitians aboard the 43 foot vessel which was in distress. The Haitians sailed over 300 miles from their island hoping to seek refuge in the Bahamas or the US. Unfortunately 30 died during the passage and those that survived were taken back to Haiti. Even if the Haitians made it to the US they would have been returned to Haiti as opposed Cuban refugees who are given asylum once they "touch" US soil.

A 2 day trip from Vero, on the "inside" down the ICW, had us arriving in Ft Lauderdale just before sunset yesterday (note to self, never travel on the ICW in south FL during the weekend). With most of the provisioning completed we tackled a few projects with the major one being draining our fuel tank so we could clean out the inside. This involved borrowing 12 five gallon jugs to store the fuel in, 4 rolls of paper towels, 1 bottle of Simple Green, 5 gallons of solvent and 9 hours of labor. There was a slight layer of "black sludge" on the bottom, however it was much less than I had expected. After talking with several other boaters who had completed a similar project I was expecting at least an inch,(BioBore the fuel additive I add every other fill-up works!)
While in Vero we were treated to a rocket launch which we could clearly see from Cape Canaveral to our north (Yes, they are still in the rocket launching business). And the night before we left there was a "boat parade" complete with Santa's sled-boat.
Yesterday's milestone occurred when we crossed into the 80 degree water zone just north of Boca Raton. We hope to cross over to the Bahamas as soon as Mother Nature cooperates.

February 1, 2013 - I bought 3 of these on 12-26-12 and would give it 5 stars on looks alone. But I don't think they would hold up very well actually being used as keychains before the paw dice would end up falling off and being lost. Where the tiny screw goes into the corner of the dice it's split. I used glue as a preventative measure on the 3 I bought and they are hanging in our cars and my husband's big rig. Very cute though and the way we're using them is a great way for us to enjoy them.
January 23, 2013 - I love this - I have 6 rescue dogs so they each get a side - very cute.

coast guard
Article Free Passcoast guard, a force, usually naval, that enforces a nation's maritime laws and assists vessels wrecked or in distress on or near its coasts. Such forces originated during the early 19th century as a restraint on smuggling.
A coast guard may also be responsible for the maintenance of lighthouses, buoys, and other navigational aids and for administering emergency aid to merchant seamen and to victims of natural disasters, such as floods and hurricanes. In some countries coast guard duties include icebreaking in inland waterways and the collection and dissemination of meteorological data pertaining to floods, hurricanes, and storms. The International Ice Patrol, operated by the U.S. Coast Guard, maintains surveillance of icebergs in the North Atlantic shipping lanes.
Nearly all coastal countries have some form of coast guard. Among the best known are the U.S. Coast Guard, the Coastguard Service in Britain, the Canadian Coast Guard, and the Japanese Maritime Service Agency. All are under the supervision of their respective governments; in several European countries, coast guard duties are performed by volunteer lifeboat associations.

- Noninvasive Detection of Fetal Subchromosome Abnormalities via Deep Sequencing of Maternal Plasma
Noninvasive Detection of Fetal Subchromosome Abnormalities via Deep Sequencing of Maternal Plasma
The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 92, Issue 2, 7 February 2013, Pages 167-176
Anupama Srinivasan, Diana W. Bianchi, Hui Huang, Amy J. Sehnert and Richard P. Rava
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the deep sequencing and analytic conditions needed to detect fetal subchromosome abnormalities across the genome from a maternal blood sample. Cell-free (cf) DNA was isolated from the plasma of 11 pregnant women carrying fetuses with subchromosomal duplications and deletions, translocations, mosaicism, and trisomy 20 diagnosed by metaphase karyotype. Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) was performed with 25-mer tags at approximately 109 tags per sample and mapped to reference human genome assembly hg19. Tags were counted and normalized to fixed genome bin sizes of 1 Mb or 100 kb to detect statistically distinct copy-number changes compared to the reference. All seven cases of microdeletions, duplications, translocations, and the trisomy 20 were detected blindly by MPS, including a microdeletion as small as 300 kb. In two of these cases in which the metaphase karyotype showed additional material of unknown origin, MPS identified both the translocation breakpoint and the chromosomal origin of the additional material. In the four mosaic cases, the subchromosomal abnormality was not demonstrated by MPS. This work shows that in nonmosaic cases, it is possible to obtain a fetal molecular karyotype by MPS of maternal plasma cfDNA that is equivalent to a chromosome microarray and in some cases is better than a metaphase karyotype. This approach combines the advantage of enhanced fetal genomic resolution with the improved safety of a noninvasive maternal blood test.

Reconstruction of a 450-My-old ancestral vertebrate protokaryotype
Trends in Genetics, Volume 22, Issue 4, 1 April 2006, Pages 203-210

AbstractFrom recent work the putative eutherian karyotype from 100Mya has been derived. Here, we have applied a new in silico technique, electronic chromosome painting (E-painting), on a large data set of genes whose positions are known in human, chicken, zebrafish and pufferfish. E-painting identifies conserved syntenies in the data set, and it enables a stepwise reconstruction of the ancestral vertebrate protokaryotype comprising 11 protochromosomes. During karyotype evolution in land vertebrates interchromosomal rearrangements by translocation are relatively frequent, whereas the karyotypes of birds and fish are much more conserved. Although the human karyotype is one of the most conserved in eutherians, it can no longer be considered highly conserved from a vertebrate-wide perspective.

Fast Quantitative Real-Time PCR-Based Screening for Common Chromosomal Aneuploidies in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells
Stem Cell Reports, Volume 1, Issue 4, 15 October 2013, Pages 350-359
Charlotte D'Hulst, Irena Parvanova, Delia Tomoiaga, Maria L. Sapar and Paul Feinstein
SummaryChromosomal integrity has been known for many years to affect the ability of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to contribute to the germline of chimeric mice. Abnormal chromosomes are generally detected by standard cytogenetic karyotyping. However, this method is expensive, time consuming, and often omitted prior to blastocyst injection, consequently reducing the frequency of mESC-derived offspring. Here, we show a fast, accurate, and inexpensive screen for identifying the two most common aneuploidies (Trisomy 8 and loss of chromosome Y) in genetically manipulated mESCs using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Screening against these two aneuploidies significantly increases the fraction of normal mESC clones. Our method is extremely sensitive and can detect as low as 10% aneuploidy among a large population of mESCs. It greatly expedites the generation of mutant mice and provides a quick tool for assessing the aneuploidy percentages of any mESC line.

John Rohde: Thunder's Kevin Durant must continue to get stronger
The Oklahoman's Oklahoma City Thunder and NBA beat writer John Rohde answered questions from readers in today's Power Lunch chat. Read the entire chat recap here. Participate in our Power Lunch chats Monday-Friday at 11 a.m. at NewsOK.com/sports
On what Kevin Durant needs to most improve upon in the offseason:
Physical strength. Teammates insist he's much stronger than he looks, but he still gets the ball stripped away too frequently. Though he has improved greatly since his rookie season in this regard, Durant still needs stronger hands -- or they need to call more fouls. It should be more difficult to steal the ball from one of the top five players in the league.
On the Thunder's plans for its first round pick in the NBA Draft:
Possibly stash, or perhaps trade away the pick. The Thunder is in a great position to do what it did when it took Serge Ibaka and Tibor Pleiss -- draft them, then stash them. Pleiss likely is at least another year away. Ibaka is a freak and made the jump quickly. If someone of quality is available, the Thunder might go international.

X File Explorer – Today's Featured Application
A week or so ago, I was upgrading my Slackware systems to Current and noticed an unwanted "feature" had been added to my Xfce 4.10 Thunar file manager.
Thunar now shows all unmounted partitions on my systems by default. Years ago, I had this issue in Debian and had to create custom 10ignore-disks.fdi configuration files in /usr/share/hal/preprobe/95userpolicy to eliminate the display of unwanted volumes in Gnome/Nautilus. Unfortunately, that's not a viable solution in my current situation. My Slack is not utilizing HAL anymore in its current version. I was at a loss on how to resolve this issue. With numerous partitions across three drives on my main system, it really made for a cluttered up Thunar left pane.
'm sure there is a resolution for this annoyance, but I haven't found it as of yet. However, I did find a fabulous "work-around", as mentioned in my previous article here about my adventures upgrading from Slack 13.37 to Current. I found a neat little file manager called X File Manager or Xfe.

West Windsor house description
Southwestern exposure with expansive views of Ascutney Mountain and the hills beyond provide peaceful and serene vistas. The sense of seclusion is enhanced by the location at the back end of a private drive, surrounded by five acres of wooded privacy and bordering dozens of acres of undeveloped forest. This rustic ranch house offers 3+ bedrooms and two recently renovated baths, providing a perfect place for relaxation after enjoying all the activities available in the Brownsville-Woodstock-West Windsor area: hiking, biking, canoeing, swimming, fishing, etc. A short drive down back roads and country lanes leads to Woodstock, the town green, art galleries and shops. You'll likely pass more horses than cars, as the Green Mountain Horse Association is along the way with access to miles and miles of trails. Several excellent country restaurants are located nearby and provides great opportunity to enjoy locally grown foods and regional craft-brewed beers.
Chances are, however, that you will want to stay and cook at home, in the fully-equipped chef's kitchen and the comfortable deck and barbecue provide a perfect place to prepare all the ingredients acquired during a day's foraging in the local markets.
This house is the getaway you've longer for; peaceful, secluded, comfortable and fully equipped, close enough to 'civilization' and the spas and health clubs of Woodstock and Quechee, and other nearby diversions, yet removed enough to allow for total decompression.

- Cons
- Ride is great
Have talked to the dealer aboout mileage but ahve received to help. supposed to have called factory 4 months ago and I still ahve heard nothing. Talk to other owners who are getting 15 to 19 city, highway. Dealer sone mileage check and only got 11.2. Best I have ever done is 13.8. Time I think the dealer and factory look into this.

You Can Now See The Whole $100 Million Alabama Football Locker Room, And… OMG…
The Alabama Crimson Tide Football Standard Oil Co. has a new $100 million locker planet room, and if anything, that seems cheap for this ridiculous facility. Supreme Ruler Nick Saban now has the pinnacle of luxury and functionality at his disposal, and as much as the NCAA and its bullshit "amateurism" rules suck, you won't feel too bad for Alabama players after seeing where they spend their months holed up.
Saban: "They can do everything in one place. They don't need to go outside."
Very nice that players can avoid all interaction with the lowly folk of Tuscaloosa, except for those sad hours where they have to leave and go to class.
But, there is one thing they can't get: a waterfall. How will players survive without a watefall? (Wait, they have a waterfall.)

4.38/5 rDev -2.9%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Single bottle (date stamp is 280415 - whatever that means) poured into a Rochefort chalice
Appearance: Slow pour to keep the sediment in (which didn't quite work) yielded a dark brown mostly translucent beer. Thin persistent off white skin of foam across the top with gaps (didn't go all the way across) and thin ring at the edge as well. Can just make out small bubbles coming up slowly through the glass at the edges. Sadly no lacing to speak of.
Smell: Rich malty sweetness with a solid hint of phenol, but it's muted and blended with all the malt so not overpowering. I've smelled phenol in the lab before (I'm a chemist) and it is NOT a pleasant smell - it's medicinal and powerful moldy at the same time. This is different - I can smell that phenol, but it's blended with a nice sweet smell and maybe some sort of candied fruit. Interesting and appealing.
Taste: Rich and sweet maltness here - syrupy in a good way. A little bit buttery toffee thrown in as well. Alcohol is very well hidden - I'm not detecting it at all. Very tasty beer.
Mouthfeel: Quick prickly carbonation on the tongue, then gone, leaving a chewy and smooth beer.
Overall / Drinkability: I think I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think the famous Rochefort chalice is the wrong glass for this beer. I think I would capture more of the smells and tastes if this was in a tulip and next time that's what I'll use. Overall a very malt forward beer, but not cloying, and a very interesting to sip and savor. Despite the higher alcohol I did not notice it until the end of the glass, but by then the alcohol was warming and even then I was pleasantly sated - no need for a second glass. Really a great beer and worth getting again, but for special occasions. This is not a beer for every night.

4.5/5 rDev -0.2%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
I picked up a bottle of Brasserie de Rochefort's Trappistes Rochefort 10 a couple weeks ago for $6.99 at The Lager Mill. I've been meaning to try this beer for a long time and I decided it was time to stop procrastinating and give this beer a try, so lets see how it goes. Best by 11/27/16. Poured from a brown 11.2oz bottle into a Belgium chalice.
A- The label looks ok, it's very simple and plain looking and I don't think it's too eye catching. It poured a nice dark brown color that didn't really let any light come through and it had one and a half fingers worth of creamy tan head that died down to a thin ring and it left some nice rings of lacing behind. This is a very good looking quad, I have no complaints at all.
S- The aroma starts off with a lower amount of high sweetness that has a nice brown sugar like aspect to it and it's followed by the malts being the first to show up and they impart a nice toffee and caramel like aroma with some vanilla showing up in the background. Up next comes the fruits that have a nice dark fruit aspect that is a little brighter than normal and it works really nicely with the malty aromas. This beer had a very good aroma, I really enjoyed it.
T- The taste seems to be pretty similar to the aroma and it starts off with a lower amount of high sweetness that's followed by malts still showing up first and they impart the same aspects that they did in the aroma with a nice combination of caramel and vanilla seeming to stick out the most. Up next comes the dark fruits which are just as bright as they were in the aroma, but this time there's also a apple aspect thrown into the mix. On the finish there's a light alcohol flavor that's hidden pretty well and there's just a little bit of bitterness on the finish with a sweet, caramel, vanilla, and fruity aftertaste. This was a very nice tasting beer, I have no complaints at all.
M- Smooth, clean, a little rich, a little creamy, on the thicker side of being medium bodied with a slightly lower amount of medium carbonation. This beer had a very good mouthfeel, it worked very well with this beer.
Overall I thought This was very good beer and a very good example of a quad it had pretty much all the aspects that I look for in the style, but I still found it to be pretty unique for the style and it kind of has it's own thing going on that i haven't seen in other quads. This beer had good drinkability, it was smooth, clean, a little rich, a little creamy, a little filling and the tasting did a great job at holding my attention, I would be pretty happy sipping on a couple of these especially on a cold winter night. What I like the most about this beer was how it wasn't like a lot of quads that I've had but it still stayed very true to style. What I liked the least about this beer was nothing, it is a little expensive, but that's to expected with most of these good Belgian beers. I would for sure buy this beer again, I would like to keep a couple in the cellar, but the price would prevent me from buying a lot of it. I would recommend this beer to just about anyone, I think every craft beer drinker should try this beer. All in all I was pretty impressed with this beer, I have no clue why it took me so damn long to try this beer, but I'm glad i finally did and I won't be sleeping on the one anymore. So far this just might be my favorite Quad and it's for sure one of the best ones I've have had. The only one from them I have left to try is the 8 so I will have to pick one of those up soon. Great job guys, I really enjoyed this beer, keep up the great work.

4.38/5 rDev -2.9%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
This pours murky and brown with a fat head of khaki creamy foam. A nose of luscious caramel, touch of booze and a bit of raisin and fig. A bit of sweet chocolate on the nose and soft peat. The taste is generous with malt sweetness. Luscious caramel, molasses, raisin, fig and and earthiness that isn't any dark malt flavor like coffee or chocolate. it;s soft. Mouthfeel is full but drinks lightly with plenty of carbonation to tickle. A mysterious drying. At some point in the beer the palate has become dry and you are left to wonder why. Sweetness from alcohol and a bit of alcohol dryness in the finish.

"Doctors in Cairo" Top 5 Page for this destination Advises Tip by Diana75
Advises, Cairo: 37 reviews and 27 photos
Fondest memory: Due to an unpleasant incident, an old lady from our group needed some medical assistance while staying in Cairo.
The guys from our hotel (Maadi Hotel) have been very kind and called us a doctor which arrived immediately.
The doctor only consulted the lady and prescribed some medicines to her.
The price paid was of USD 18-, but he also gave an invoice for the insurance company.

Claude Julien juggling in B's final week - 0 Comments
WILMINGTON — Managing the Bruins during this final week of a regular season unlike any we've seen before is going to be a tricky juggling act.
During practice at Ristuccia Arena yesterday, coach Claude Julien was not in charge on the ice, but sitting with general manager Peter Chiarelli in a private corner box. The two likely were discussing how to best to proceed in the coming days, with at least three disparate goals to consider:

A few questions...
I've been looking at ENO gear recently, and I don't know which one to get. At first I thought I wanted a Hennessy, but after trying one out, I found out Hennessys have a "seam" down the middle of the back so you can lay flat. I don't want that, I like the "banana" curve.
So my first question is whether or not ENOs have that "seam" requiring you to lay on the diagonal. And secondly, I don't want a DoubleNest, and ENO has 3 others, the SingleNest, the ProNest, and the Reactor. I go backpacking 2-3 times a year, which would make the lighter weight ProNest good. But it doesn't have any lines, the caribiners simply attach to the hammock itself, is that an advantage or disadvantage? The SingleNest is the basic model, although it is 4oz heavier than the ProNest, according to ENO it has "Heavy Duty Triple Stitched Seams" while the Pronest and Reactor don't, will it last longer and be more durable? And the Reactor is a full 13oz heavier than the ProNest, does the extra weight make it more durable? And is the pad compartment really worth it?

I hate to be that guy that thinks you know what you want, but I'd say the vast majority of people prefer to lay on the diagonal especially for overnight sleeping. If you are just lounging for a little bit, laying straight down the middle might be ok.
Also, I think the vast majority of people prefer the size of the DN. I haven't ever tried a SN, but I do have a DN and I don't think it is oversized at all. I am 5' 11" and 175lbs. As for suspension, it is very easy to switch out the suspension on ENO hammocks and go with something else. Many people at least switch out the stock carabiners. And now for the most worn out acronym on this site... HYOH |

I would recommend you go to a local hang and check out hammocks there and talk to fellow hammockers and ask a lot of questions. Don't be shy, we love to talk about our rigs and hammock gear.

+1 here, you have so many other options out there and a group hang with a variety of different rigs and the vast amount of experience there is down south. A lot start with ENO but quickly upgrade to lighter more comfortable solutions. Have you slept all night hanging down the middle? If not, you may find the diagonal much more easy on the body by morning. Have fun and as BajaHanger said dont be shy!! Thats what we are here for

Could you explain why you want to avoid the DoubleNest?
Of the SingleNest, ProNest and Reactor the SingleNest gives you the most length at 9'4". I have found there is a correlation between length and comfort however, I strive for a flatter/ diagonal lie. The DoubleNest is the same length as the Single just a bit wider. If you do not need the length, the Reactor is shorter but, as a double layer hammock it may help you find comfort by keeping an insulating sleeping pad underneath you. The ProNest is too small for an adult. My first Hammocks were DoubleNests. I wouldn't consider anything shorter nor narrower. If you are ruling out the DN due to weight, consider other manufacturers. Many lighter options available. If you need a recommendation just let the forum know what you want to do with your hammock. Good Luck |

A few questions...
I had a small Byers Moskito before I decided to go with a full camping rig (but did a few random nights in it).
Then I got an ENO single nest and it did fine. Last year I grabbed a Double Nest on sale. It felt like luxury compared to the single. I sleep on the diagonal, on my side some times, or on my back with one leg cocked sideways (not on the diagonal, but fairly flat because of my leg). I recently went to a large 11 foot DIY hammock (only one night so far). I really like it and it is super light. I am 6'2" and about 205 to 210 lbs, by the way. So I like the larger hammocks for my height. Once you have a good tarp, you don't risk much to try different hammocks. I may still take the double nest to the woods if I don't want my thin DIY in the colder temps. I know the fabric weight won't make a huge difference, but I may go that way regardless. There are a lot of quality cottage vendors that sell great hammocks, so keep shopping and asking questions. |

The reason I'm not really considering the DoubleNest is because the only difference is more room(which don't really need) and more weight(which I'd rather not have). This will be my first camping hammock, so I'm looking for something affordable($150 maximum for everything), and comfortable. I'll probably upgrade down the road, but right now I'm just getting started. Oh, and I'm 5'9" and around 170lbs.

I think I've decided, I'm going to get the DoubleNest, a little more comfort and I can wrap up in it during cold weather. Now, which tarp to get?

I recommend a Warbonnet Edge. You could pair that with a Warbonnet Traveler and remain within your budget.

P: n/a
Please bare with me, I have A-Level physics (barely any Quantum physics) and hence no idea on the subject, just general crap.
I at the moment am an advocate for causal determinism but have never had a proper answer to why quantum mechanics disproves the idea of determinism.
What I understand determinism to be is, for there to be an effect, there has to be a cause, and so the whole universe interacts with itself ( i mean the particles within it) in a deterministic fashion.
now I am not saying that it is possible to ever determine anything, the uncertainty principle is pretty clear (and logical). You can not know BOTH the position and speed of a particle infinitely precise - because you are changing its trajectory with the photons when observing i believe?
So to the question. are there random effects/actions in the universe (proven to be random or indicative) OR is it a deterministic universe and things ONLY SEEM random because of the uncertainty principle ?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated :]

'Road warrior' tax laws vary by state
By Stateline.org
Published: Saturday, Dec. 21, 2013, 9:00 p.m.
A crazy quilt of laws governing state income taxes for "road warriors" — residents of one state who work in another — can make tax collections a nightmare. Yet states don't necessarily favor streamlining the system under a proposed federal law.
The way it works now, states have varied standards for requiring workers to file personal income tax returns when those employees work for periods of time in a state where they don't live. The rules dictate how employers withhold income tax for those employees.
Some states, like New York, carefully monitor out-of-state workers; other states are less vigilant about it, according to the Council on State Taxation, or COST, a trade association for multistate corporations.
Some states have a "first day" rule, which means if you set foot in a state you don't live in and work there for one day, you owe that state income tax. Other states have varying periods of time when the nonresident income tax kicks in, ranging from 10 days to 60 days. To complicate things further, some states do not assess the income tax on a time-worked basis; rather, they assess it on an income-earned basis starting at a floor of anywhere from $300 to $1,800 a year, according to COST.
Corporations would like to see a streamlined standard for withholding and collecting income taxes on nonresidents and are backing federal legislation that would make all state tax rules conform. COST officials say it's a nightmare for businesses to keep up with the different regulations.
"The problem is people who travel to other states for work. I travel to 20 or 30 states a year," said Doug Lindholm, president and executive director of COST. "Half of the states, the requirement is that as soon as I work in that state, I owe them a personal income tax return, and the company has a withholding responsibility. It's a 'gotcha' waiting to happen. Very few people comply with it, and very few companies comply because they don't know where their employees are all the time."
Mary B. Hevener, an attorney with the Washington firm of Morgan Lewis who specializes in interstate tax issues, said many companies are developing software that can handle the myriad state laws regarding "road warrior" workers. But the complexity of all the rules makes it difficult to keep track, she said.
"If you go to a state, you could be taxed, or if you stay there one minute, you could be taxed," she said. "If you land in a state and check your BlackBerry, some states say, 'Yeah, that's work.' How much of a day is 'work?' Is attending a conference? Attending an awards ceremony?"
Hevener said some states are more aggressive, noting New York and California as examples. She characterized Minnesota and Pennsylvania as states that "look" into workers from other states. Others are less interested.
States have attempted to ease the situation in a couple of ways. Reciprocal agreements among bordering states can eliminate the problem. Maryland and Virginia, for example, have reciprocity, which means a Virginia resident who works in Maryland does not have to pay Maryland income tax. The District of Columbia, due to its unique nature as the seat of federal government and attractiveness to out-of-state workers, has reciprocity with all states.
States have also developed model legislation through the Multistate Tax Commission that would cover the income tax treatment of nonresident workers. This legislation would not require an employer to withhold income tax on a nonresident employee who works in the state for no more than 20 days. And the nonresident is not required to pay income tax on those earnings.
But the legislation only applies to workers from states with no income tax or from states which have agreed to the model legislation. So far, only North Dakota has implemented it. Since no other state has signed on, this option does not appear to have wide appeal.
The model legislation does not include professional sports figures, whose contracts generally spell out taxation issues since they play games in many states in the course of a season, experts said.
Under the "Mobile Workforce State Income Tax Simplification Act," pending in Congress, the amount of time a worker has to work in a state to be liable for income taxes in that state would be standardized at 30 days. Once that threshold is passed, the state's income tax laws governing amounts owed and withholding requirements would apply. The congressional bill provides that an employee's earnings are subject to tax in the states where the work is being performed and could be credited against the worker's income tax liability in his or her home state, which is the way it works now.

This post is a little extra special. I always think about dedicating the smallest of thoughts which come to mind when I think about certain people who play big or small roles in my life and I never really get to doing it… thanks to India for having such a day like, "Women's Day" and giving me the chance to finally take this moment to acknowledge some of the many important women in my life…
I am going to start off with someone who I believe represents and defines women from beginning and never stopping… Aaji. She's 104 years old, from my fathers side of the family and as long as I can remember she has always had a wonderful smile on her face. Every time I see her, her blessings never change and I enjoy hearing them every-time. My favorite part of her blessings are the three most important aspects one should always have in life, Bal Budhi Vidya in translation that means, Strength, Wisdom and Intelligence. She has seen all part of the worlds from horses, rikshaws, trains, planes, cars and even a cruise ship!
The next two people I have been running around in diapers in-front of and they both are like my grandparents. In fact their entire family is like my family and it means the world to me to have these women by my side, they have seen the worst of me and the best of me and always are the angels in my life along with my families lives. The Devarajan, Kulkarni & Mark family. Chachi, Radhika Aunty, Rama Aunty, Maydha, Aparna and both grandmas.
There is something very interesting I find in us women is our strength to just being able to hold together and not just ourselves but a family… to Daadi Saab from the Satsangi family. Another person who is like my own grandparent. Sometimes I think, since I never had the chance to ever see or talk to my grandparents, god gave me many grandparents in my life and I am able to hear advice, life lessons and have love from many of them in my life. Daadi Saab you are such an amazing person and I admire your ability to hold the family together and I enjoy hearing all the stories from the kids about the little things you enjoy but that's what life is all about…
In the Satsangi family there are many other women who have been apart of my life. Again like I have many grandparents, I have many moms. In fact about a weekend or two ago, my mom and I had to split ourselves between two events that we were invited to. I went to a wedding reception and was performing a dance performance. When I came in, I felt a little odd for a few moments because my mom wasn't there. I was hanging out with Kanika Aunty and Seema Aunty and someone asked, "is this your daughter?" right when I was going to say no, Kanika Aunty said, "she is basically our daughter." Once again those little things is what simply makes me the happiest person and also I feel extremely privileged to have them in my life along with Kalpna Bua.
We have the same birthdays, we are so similar in many ways and I admire her drive and passion. My Mausi (mom's sister). It's once again not quite by blood-relation but I have many memories till this date in my life of spending lot's of time at her house and just sitting around and enjoying her talk about the next project she has in hand. Reminds me so much of myself, once I complete one thing I am already beginning the next thing. If one must learn about women empowerment, she is the person to go to.
I have another Mausi who has been my mom's best friend since elementary school if I'm not mistaken-ed. Nam's Mausi! Whenever your name pops up on my mom's phone I tell mom she better pick up so she can straighten my mom out. I love her, she is practical, straight forward and a wonderful guidance towards doing what is right. I am so glad you are apart of our lives and both you and Ridhima are truly amazing women.
Another family who I must admire, the Fellner Family. Anjoo Aunty, you are another person I always admire. I always enjoy coming over spontaneously and spilling my Bollywood news to you and you always build so much interest in whatever I talk about. I can probably have a conversation with you about anything and you would be able to talk about it for hours whether it is of your interest or not. You and your family have always been there for us at odd times and I could never thank you enough for that. Anuva has a great role model to look-up to.
Vibha Aunty, there is a memory in the back of my head which has never left my thoughts for as long as I can remember. I remember at the time when my dad was sick and I as always was still part of many things in the community, I clearly remember you driving me to practices, rehearsals and letting me spend nights at your house. There are so many things you do for people, the community and for your family. You play so many kinds of roles and you never stop… it is extremely admirable at everything you do.
Shikha Aunty, you are young, fun and always full of energy. I always enjoy your company and being able to talk about almost anything with you. In the last year you have held yourself high and are so strong as a person for yourself and your family and it is all because of your mom. Both of you are two people I always admire as well, and she is going to always be proud of everything you do as you move forward in life.
To my "Chuddi-Buddies" (Diaper Buddies), Anamika Didi, Aparna Didi, Alyssa & Kaanchee! Even though we all don't get to hang out as much as we used to before college happened… but I know every time we all get together now it is the best feeling in the world for me. I feel like we are all taken back into our childhood and we all just laugh and laugh for hours over the most pointless things. I will always cherish all the weird jokes, memories and times we have built together and I do hope when we get old and have families we'll also throw the lame get together's while our kids are up-stairs playing cards, Nintendo 64 or hide-and-seek in the dark?
To Emily, you are one person I could never thank enough. I feel when I can't be there to help my mom out, you are there at a snap of a finger and I know for my mom it's a huge help but for me I think of it as you being there in my feet and trust me you are a lot better at it now. Thank you so much for being there for our family when we need it and I will never get sick of hearing your insane of jokes!
Megha, I think every time I hang around you, there is not doubt that I will leave the conversation without getting a good laugh. You are sweet, talented and intelligent. Never lose these three things in yourself, they will help you get very far in life. And thanks to you, I also met Anjali on your 20th birthday! Anjali, you are one of a kind and a great mentor in my life and am so glad the first thing that connected us was fried chicken & Kuch Kuch Hota Hai!
Two my other two "B's"! Bri & Banna… I know we fight a lot, we never agree on a lot of things but I don't think the three of us would ever understand the meaning of friendship without one another. I am pretty sure my first "clique" was the Plastics and my first "secret head quarters" was THE HQ! We have endless memories together I do hope we stay friends forever and are able to share many, many more unforgettable moments in our lives together…
To all the women in both my mom's side of the family and my dad's side of the family…
Mami, Ekta Didi & Natasha Didi, time has flown by and with all of our busy lives we do not get to connect as often as the times we spent every summer, winter, spring and fall together when I was just a kid. I must say though, thanks to you all plus mom I am this "Bollywood-buff". I remember the times where Ekta Didi was "big Anjali" and Natasha didi was "Tina" and I was "little Anjali". I hope we all get the chance to reunite together and continue building off from the good times in the past and share many more moments together.
To all the Singh/Sinha Family Girls! In the last couple years we have been able to get together for Christmas and it has truly been a blast for me to be together with everyone. This past Christmas I realized I'm not just the only "weird" one! But in all honesty it has been wonderful, I admire all of you and your aspirations to do different things in life. I really do admire all 4 of the didi's too. Rekha Didi, Meena Didi, Rita Didi & Prabha Didi. You all hold the family together and are really wonderful at what you do, not just at being mom or sisters to one another but just representing the ability for women to multi-task and get it perfectly right!
Lastly to the most Important person in my life…
My Mom.
I could write a novel on you mom but even that would be too long. You are a combination of all the people I mentioned above and it's scary to say but I am starting to be just like you …minus the part where I want to work in Bollywood! You are phenomenal person and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you by my side every step of the way. I can't wait to be able to take care of you when you finally decide to stop doing the million things you do. I can't wait to travel the world with you and make you the next "version" of Hiroo Aunty! I can't wait to take you on the red carpet to Filmfare Awards and give my thank you speech starting off by saying, "I love you mom"! I can't wait to give the chance for you to see me grow into this person I dream to be while you simply smile at me being a proud person. I love you for the person you are and never stop being that amazing person.
Happy Women's Day to all the special people who play these important big or small roles in my life. It means the world to me and I wouldn't trade any of you for anyone else.

TEAMS: Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, Brooklyn Nets, Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City Thunder
In their first road test since Rajon Rondo's injury, the Celtics were able to come back from 10 down at the start of the fourth quarter to beat the Raptors 99-95 and extend their win streak to five games. The catalyst in the rally? LeAndro Barbosa, who scored 11 of his 14 points in the fourth. Barbosa's energy at both ends of the floor sparked a dramatic turnaround in which the Celtics went from being outscored 34-19 in the third to winning the fourth 30-16. The Raptors, who'd finished the third on a 10-2 run, suddenly looked atrocious to start the fourth. Their first four shots were ugly misses from beyond 21 feet, and as they continued to settle for jumpers their offense became more and more stagnant. It often seemed as though they didn't even cross halfcourt until there were just six or seven seconds on the shot clock, and their attack essentially consisted of everyone standing and watching as Kyle Lowry dribbled aimlessly. Quite honestly, I believe it was as poor an offensive quarter as I've seen played by any team this season.
Kevin Garnett had a fantastic outing, leading the Cs with 27 points and 10 boards. It's a damn good thing he did, too, because Paul Pierce, Jeff Green, and Jason Terry combined to go 5-20 from the floor. Along with Barbosa, Garnett was at his best when it mattered most, scoring 11 of his own in the fourth. While most of his teammates couldn't have fallen from a boat and hit water, The Big Ticket was executing complex maneuvers fit for an Olympic diving competition…
As you can see, Andrea Bargnani made his return from a 26-game absence. He did so to a smattering of boos, which upset Dwayne Casey but didn't appear to faze nor inspire Bargnani, who had a typical Bargs game of 13 points and 3 rebounds on 5-10.
LeBron's incredible play continued in a 114-108 Heat victory over the Rockets. James, who's been averaging 30 points on 60% from the floor and 40% from three over his last 12, posted his third consecutive 30-point game as he hogged the stats until he'd had his fill (32/6/5). In the stead of Chris Bosh (illness), who has also been playing exceptionally well as of late, Dwyane Wade stepped up to score 31 points of his own. This is just the second time all season that LeBron and Dwyane have each topped 30 in the same game.
Despite trailing by double figures for most of the third quarter and even part of the fourth quarter, the Rockets were able to get back in this thing. After having failed to score between the 11:38 and 7:22 marks of the fourth, Houston came surging back thanks mostly to James Harden, who scored 11 straight points to bring his squad to within three. From that point, though, Miami displayed their defensive prowess by drawing charges (legitimate charges, no flops) on consecutive possessions. It then became a free-throw shooting contest and the Heat sealed the deal.
James Harden, though. With 36 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists… he was pretty incredible. Observe his abuse of Ray Allen at :35, and his discarding of LeBron James at 1:30 and 3:00 (yes, he cooked LeBron twice)…
The Nets eked out much-needed victory in Detroit, where they defeated the Pistons 93-90. Both teams were pretty sketchy down the stretch as they each failed to score for stretches of more than two minutes, but a couple of big buckets by Deron Williams and Brook Lopez made the difference for the Nets — that and a missed free throw by Greg Monroe. Had he been able to deliver, Monroe's free throw would've tied the game with 33 seconds to play. So, instead of being down two after Monroe proceeded to allow Lopez to back him down and score a layup, the Pistons trailed by three and were ultimately forced to play the fouling game. What I'm getting at here is that Greg Monroe, despite his impressive line of 23 points and 10 rebounds, kind of blew it. Williams and Lopez, on the other hand, had just 12 and 17 points respectively, but were able to manufacture important hoops late in the fourth quarter.
Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters, and Tristan Thompson combined for 58 points in an encouraging display of hope for Cleveland. The young core missed just 10 of their 34 attempts from the floor, though the whole thing ought to be taken with a grain of salt as the aforementioned floor was that of the Time Warner Cable arena, home of the Charlotte Bobkittens. This 122-95 defeat is the fifth in a row for the 'Cats, who've not beaten the Cavaliers since Boris Diaw went off for 26/11/7 on March 30th of 2011. Good times, relatively speaking (Charlotte won 34 games that season, which is nearly twice as many as the 18 they've won since).
The Golden State Warriors suffered their second blowout loss in as many nights, losing 119-98 in Oklahoma City. The Thunder, already out to avenge a hotly-contested, 104-99 loss (January 23rd, the one where Scotty Brooks thought it'd be a good idea to run a play for Kendrick Perkins), apparently drew some extra motivation from the demonstrative habits of the Warriors' bench. Said Kevin Martin, who contributed 21 points in the onslaught: "Coach Jackson should talk to a couple of his bench players and make sure they get wet behind the ears before they come barking at a couple of our players."
Mark Jackson and company sure aren't making any friends on this road trip. Not that they should care. Jackson is likely more concerned by the fact that his team has given up 259 points — nearly three games worth for a Memphis or an Indiana — in their last two outings. Looking like the Warriors of old, these Warriors are.
Sorry guys, but that's all I've got today. I allowed myself to go to sleep last night without doing two things — finishing this post and setting an alarm. Fatal mistake. I'll try not to let it happen again. As a sign of my regret, I give to you some Rubio magic. Please forgive me.
