Good post on how to find good stories and such for writing. In short, do the work beforehand to collect things. You know like my resources which you just found. The 5 Step Research Method I Used for Time Ferris, Robert Greene, and Tucker Max
Author: Ryan Holiday
You Seem to Get Luckier
The more you do, the harder you work, the luckier you seem to get.
You Need a Fan Base
Becoming a perennial seller requires more than just releasing a project into the world. It requires the development of a career. It means building a fan base both before and after a project, and it means thinking differently than most people out there selling something.
You Have to Build a Platform Before You Need It
Everyone wants a platform when they need one. People want to have a big list — they just don't want to lay the groundwork for one beforehand.
On Finding an Influencer
When you find an influencer who likes your product, hold on for dear life. (Send them more stuff than they know what to do with — chances are they have influencer friends!)
Our Product's Competition
We are fighting not just against our contemporaries for recognition, but against centuries of great art for an audience. Each new work competes for customers with everything that came before it and everything that will come after.
Get Feedback
The fact is, most people are so terrified of what an outside voice might say that they forgo opportunities to improve what they are making. Remember: Getting feedback requires humility. It demands that you subordinate your thoughts about your project and your love for it and entertain the idea that someone might have a valuable […]
Creative Fantasy
Deep down, we all harbor a fantasy: We do creative work, throw it in the mail — someone else sends us a contract and doesn't bother us again. No one gets to tell us what do to; our art remains pure and untouched.
What will you sacrifice?
In the course of creating your work, you are going to be forced to ask yourself: What am I willing to sacrifice in order to do it? Will I give up X, Y, Z? A willingness to trade off something — time, comfort, easy money, recognition — lies at the heart of every great work. […]
The Difference Between Great work and an Idea
The difference between a great work and an idea for a great work is all the sweat, time, effort, and agony that go into engaging that idea and turning it into something real. The difference is not trivial. If great work were easy to produce, a lot more people would do it.

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2,2000,USA
Director: Joe Berlinger
Stars: Jeffrey Donovan, Kim Director & Erica Leerhsen
Film #63 of The December Project
While in preparation for my first viewing of this film, I yesterday revisited 'The Blair Witch Project', which is a film I have grown to love and admire. I came into 'Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2' with absolutely no idea what was about to occur. All I knew was that this film is pretty much universally despised. I could have never predicted what I saw...
A year after the release of the smash hit phenomenon that was 'The Blair Witch Project', fans have flocked to Maryland, where the film was made, to garner clues to its authenticity. A local rebel runs a tour group into woods, but him and hes group find out that Blair Witch may not be just a legend.
I am not quite sure yet of what I have just watched, was it a spoof film ? a comedy ? a ghost story ? or a 2000 version of 'The Breakfast Club' ? I have no idea, but I am quite concerned and puzzled as to why I enjoyed this film so much. This is a bad film, don't get me wrong, its absolutely poor in all areas of filmmaking, but its so damn funny and so entertaining. I think my experiencing benefited from the fact that I was expecting the worst going in.
What I respect about the film, is that it did not try to replicate the style of the original film, and try to create its own experience, did it succeed ? fuck no! but the results are always entertaining. 'Blair Witch 2' is a film that continues to defy expectations and goes to places you don't think possible, its gutsy if not brainless.
Director Joe Berlinger and Screenwriter Dick Beebe pull out all the Horror film cliches they can muster, weather it be from 'The Exorcist', 'The Omen', 'Evil Dead' and even its own predecessor, the film goes to great lengths to scare you. It does not achieve this though, actually the results are quite humorous, very humorous in fact. Maybe it was the strange line delivery by the actors, or the screenplay, or the direction or possibly the worst Sheriff put on film, but 'Blair Witch 2' almost had me laughing my ass off.
The films concept and execution are just so brilliantly obscure and its baffling to think how the filmmakers decided to go with this idea. The film features plenty of tiresome allusions to witchcraft and what not, The long speeches about the origins of witchcraft and how it works were probably the only part of the film I did not enjoy.
I thought Matthew Lillard was really great in this film, but then I realized it wasn't him, which saddened me because I'm a big fan. Anyway, it was Jeffrey Donovan who seemed to be channeling Lillard's performance in 'Scream', he was the most enjoyable character on screen due to his resemblance to Lillard. To be brutally honest, the cast is horrendous, it seemed like no one knew what the hell they were doing, maybe that's the directors fault, but they could of at least improvised or something. Kim Director (great name) plays a cliched Gothic women, who the rules do not apply to. Tristine Skyler plays the women who we have to be sympathetic towards, because she had a miscarriage, her husband is played Stephen Barker Turner who is a Jeff Daniels' lookin son of a bitch, and is the most intolerable person on screen, and Erica Leerhsen plays a woman who is convinced shes a witch, see its practically the cast of 'The Breakfast Club'!. Also I above mentioned the Sheriff, either that guy was portraying the worst police officer ever, or he was just the worst actor ever, I'm not sure yet, its all guess work at this point.
'Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2' is a bad film there is no escaping that fact, but it is also a really freaking enjoyable one, a guilty pleasure if you will. Its not a patch on its predecessor but its a very entertaining and funny time. I can see myself revisiting this in the future, in the same way I do 'Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2'.

I guess Bangkok has hundreds, if not thousands, of markets around. Floating markets, weekend markets, night markets, train markets. Every time I go to Bangkok I try to visit at least a new one and these are my favorite!
1. Chatuchack Weekend Market (JJ)
The Chatuchak Weekend Market is the biggest and the most equipped market in Bangkok. You can seriously find everything you're looking for and won't be disappointed: cool souvenirs, yummy food, accessories of any kind, nice clothes and fabulous vintage shops. If you love markets the way I do, you'll find heaven on Earth here and will never want to leave! But let's see how to get the most of this huge market.
How to do the Chatuchak Weekend Market
-Wake up early and get there around 09:00 am to avoid the heat and the crowd. This is the most popular market in Bangkok, you'll see!
-Wear light clothes and comfortable shoes. With its 27 sections this is one of the biggest market in the world, you'll need to walk!
-Bring an empty backpack/trolley for your purchases
-Take the MRT to "Kampheng Phet" station to find yourself right in the market. Alternatively you can get off at the MRT "Chatuchak" station or at the BTS "Mo Chit" station and cross the Chatuchak Park till you reach the market
-Pick a free map of the market from one of the information kiosks
-Drink plenty of water, fresh coconut juice or anything else to stay hydrated
-Ship your purchases. Chatuchak makes it easy for travelers who want to buy things but can't carry them in their luggages / backpacks. There are shipping companies around such as DHL and UPS that will do that for you. At a price, though.
When: Saturdays and Sundays, 9:00am – 06:00pm
Where: Chatuchak park – BTS to "Mo Chit" station or MRT to "Kampheng Phet" station
Further reading: The 5 things you must do at Chatuchak Market
2. Khao San Road Market
Khao San Road is really well known among travelers for its cheap accommodations and cool parties. While the market itself is not that special before dawn, the atmosphere gets pretty cool when the music starts and the road and bars are filled with people. If you want to hang out with other travelers, you don't want to miss this place!
Here you can find clothes, food, souvenirs, fake documents (passport, driver license, university card…) and insects on sticks like scorpions, worms, cockroaches. I actually tried a scorpion last time I went to this market (no, I'm not pretending for the photo!), and it tasted like… Popcorn!
When: Daily, all day long but better after sunset
Where: Khao San Road – Taxi or bus to "Khao San Road", boat to "Phanfa Leelard" pier
3. Train Night Market
Less known among tourists, the Ratchada Train Night Market is absolutely one of the coolest markets in Bangkok and one of the most colorful (check the time-lapse I took below!). To have a great view over the market, like the one above, get inside the "Esplanade Cineplex" building and reach the carpark. The higher you go, the better it looks!
Here Volkswagen vans are turned into bars and stalls selling whatever you're looking for. They're all different from each other and particularly cool. If you like vintage, you're going to love this place. Just walk around to find food, clothes and vintage accessories. Make sure to visit the shops around and… don't forget to get your vintage haircut!
When: 5pm – 1am, Thursdays – Sundays
Where: Ratchadapisek Road, behind Esplanade Cineplex – MRT to "Thailand Cultural Centre", exit No. 3

What are income reports? They're articles on your blog where you share how much money your blog made.
And in my opinion, income reports are awesome. I love reading them since it gives me insights into what people are doing in their blogging businesses, and what kind of money they're making.
But there are both good and bad outcomes to publishing your income publicly on the web. Before you decide to write income reports on your blog, it's important to know what you're getting yourself into.
Income reports on RankXL
Some people don't know, but I used to write income reports on RankXL. As a result, I'll be able to give you details about my own experience writing them.
For me, I wrote monthly reports when I first started the blog, then stopped after about 7 months (more on why later).
Why I wrote income reports
To be honest, it wasn't much of a thoughtful decision for me. I just knew that bloggers I followed at the time, like Pat Flynn, were doing it, so I did it too.
His reports were extremely popular in the blogging community and I thought it would be cool to produce some of my own. And I did!
And people loved them. In my opinion, they were probably my most anticipated blog posts every month. They got the most comments, and I would see a nice rise in new subscribers every time another one went live.
But after a while, I stopped writing them.
Why I stopped writing income reports
There are two reasons.
Reaons #1: They were getting boring to write.
I couldn't imagine doing this forever. It was a monthly thing, so I needed to produce a new one each month. That means it needed new and exciting information.
Thankfully, a lot of stuff happened during the time I was publishing my income reports, so I had a lot of fun stuff to write about.
But when I was thinking of where the blog would be in the next few years, I didn't want to continue writing income reports on the blog. I just wanted to produce great informational content that helped others.
If you think about it, income reports don't really help you with anything. The only thing it does is give you inspiration to work harder.
But after a while, that inspiration can turn into demotivation, which leads me to my second point.
Reason #2: Income reports just seemed too spammy and braggy for me
It's fun to read about someone who just started their journey and is working towards something. It gives you a frame of reference to compare your own results with.
But when you're making over 5-figures per month, it just gets to be kind of showboating.
Each income report I published was kind of like saying: "Oh look how much I made. Isn't this awesome?"
And that kind of content can be good once in a while, but to be publishing content like that every single month seemed like overkill to me. It can also get some negative comments from haters.
It didn't align with the long-term vision I had for the blog, which was to just create an authority resource on the topic of SEO, generating traffic, and growing a blog.
So, after 7 published income reports, I stopped.
Reason #3: It's a weird feeling when everyone you know knows how much money you make
When I was writing income reports, RankXL was a blog that I felt I needed to hide from friends and family.
Each time I told someone I know about RankXL, it was basically me telling them "Hey, I make this amount of money."
It's an uncomfortable feeling. That rang even truer when I was at a party and someone I'm not very close with said something along the lines of: "Come on… you make X dollars!"
That was such an disturbing feeling for me, especially since I'm a pretty private guy in general.
It was a tough decision
These reports were really popular. I enjoyed the process. Every time one went live, I got a stream of comments and emails that thanked me and congratulated me. It felt good.
So to stop doing something that people loved was a tough decision. But it was one that had to be made sooner or later.
At first, I got emails everyday asking when the next one was going to be published. People would leave comments in other blog posts asking what happened.
I had to tell everyone who asked one by one that I stopped because it didn't align with the long-term vision I had for this blog.
Eventually the emails stopped, and today, the blog is better for it.
Should you write income reports for your own blog?
So now that I've told you about my experience with writing income reports, what do you think?
I hope this post didn't make publishing income reports sound too negative. It's not at all. It's just not the right move for everyone. It depends on what you enjoy, and of course, your long-term vision for what you want your blog to be.
A lot of bloggers out there produce income reports, and they're extremely interesting to follow. It generates a lot of attention, and usually becomes a pretty popular topic on your blog.
They're also fun to write. The posts get really personal since the article is all about you and your business.
If that sounds like something you might enjoy, then go ahead and write income reports. Let me know if you do start them, since I'll want to read them myself 🙂
You can always stop writing them in the future, like I did. If it turns out you don't enjoy it very much, you can stop. The blog is yours and you have full control over what kind of content you publish.
So if you're on the fence, you should at least publish a few income reports to try it out and see how you like it!

TV Pilots Part II plus Weeds Season Three and Californication's First Episode Reviewed
Still, none of what I watched last night beats Weeds' first three episodes of the upcoming season. As we enter the third season of MILF selling mayhem, Nancy Botwin's (Mary-Louise Parker) life is in the shitter. At the close of the second season Nancy was held at gunpoint by gangster U-Turn and a crew of Armenian Drug Dealers all jockeying for their piece of her growth. Unfortunately Nancy's son Silas (Hunter Parrish) decided that this was the time to convince his mother to let him become involved in her burgeoning business. To do so, he stole her complete crop and placed her and Conrad's (Romany Malco) life in danger.
Season three picks up RIGHT where we left off. Silas is being taken into custody for stealing the Agrestic "Drug Free Zone" signs made by Celia (Elizabeth Perkins) while Nancy hangs on the other end of the phone line trying to find out where her son hide their crop. At the same time Nancy's brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) is hunting down Shane (Alexander Gould) and his ex-girlfriend (Zooey Deschanel) who has taken the niave Shane along for a tour around the country. As these two storylines unfold such chaotic and hilarious actions occur that it is too much to recap. While the first two episodes of the new season are exact follow ups to the season finale from last year, the arc of the season really kicks into gear with the third episode. Without revealing too much, Nancy is facing bankruptcy, Celia is dealing with her divorce from Dean (Andy Milder) and Doug (Kevin Nealon) is lamenting over cheating on his wife. The one with the worst fate of all is Andy who seems to have failed at his quest to get out of military service. Despite losing two toes and going through rabbinical training, the weed-loving brother looks like he has been assigned a fate worse than death. There is no escaping the U.S. military.
So far, Season Three is shaping up to be a darker but still interesting arc in the lives of the Botwin family. Season two has set the bar very high, and while these first three episodes deal with the ramifications of season two directly, they lack the sharp humor that made last season special. Still a great show, Weeds will never fall off my radar, but at the same time I was hoping for more. With twelve episodes left in the season I have still have faith that the show will deliver.
Showtime's other comedy, the new Californication, is a great companion show to Weeds. Similar in tone, this dark comedy does have a couple bright spots. Anchored by a welcome David Duchovny, the humor tends to stay very dry and frustrating. But occasionally there are moments of laugh out loud genius. One of these scenes occurs in a movie theater as Duchovny's character Hank Moody asks a man to not answer his cell phone. The man does so and Duchovny gets so upset that he reaches forward and hangs the phone up. A couple of seconds later the man receives yet another call and proceeds to answer his phone! Having enough of this rude behavior, Hank engages in a brawl with the man. Ultimately, he wins and is greeted to massive applause by the thankful crowd in the theater. The real kicker to this whole scene, the movie playing on screen is based off a book by Hank, and Hank hates the film! Still, just the best way to express the fury that constant moviegoers feel when someone answers their phone in the middle of a dark theater.
The first episode of the show deals primarily with Hank's recent writer's block and where that may be connected to the mother of his daughter. A couple for a long time, Hank's inability to ask for her hand in marriage has led Karen to leave Hank. Although they still meet frequently due to his custodial rights, Hank is pained to discover that Karen is engaged to her current boyfriend. Crushed and rejected, Hank continues his downward spiral, sleeping with multiple women and simply wandering through his days. Deadpan underlined with sadness, it is Duchovny that makes Hank work. Without his deft understanding of humor, the show could become a completely depressing mess. Instead, Californication has a lot of potential and could develop into just as strong a show as Weeds. Not there just yet, I will give the show a couple of episodes to grow. Part of the reason is because of the awesome way the episode ends. With Hank finally taking a seat at his keyboard and typing a word, we see it appear on our screen as it does his. Although the text is white and the background black, what is written, and the way it is written feels just right.
Finally, we get to the sixth pilot I have seen this fall. Highly anticipated for sci-fi fans, Bionic Woman does not live up to its potential. Executive produced by Battlestar Galactica's Executive Producer David Eick, Bionic Woman had all of the potential to be a hit for NBC. Sadly, with this pilot, that potential is all but squashed. Awkwardly paced and unevenly scripted, this episode is a bit difficult to watch. Not necessarily bad, there are just too many leaps in logic and emotion that must be made to overcome the plot. Even though the directing style works well for the show, and the acting is relatively strong, there is just not enough here to make this a viable competitor come the fall.
Michelle Ryan is Jamie Sommers. Yet another Brit playing an American, Ryan's ability to cover her accent is not as successful as Hugh Laurie. She maintains a decent American tongue, but occasionally catches a word or two in her native English accent. While Ryan's performance as Jamie is decent, there is just nothing special about it. Sure she is hot and her character is compelling, but that is not enough to overcome the fairly flat performance given by the lead. This is a shame too, considering that Ryan can be really good. Most recently seen on Jekyll over on the BBC (and coming to BBC America shortly), Ryan's performance on that show is what Bionic Woman should have showcased. Layered, her performance reveals a tough, bright and ultimately vulnerable woman in over her head. While Jamie is portrayed that way in the storyline of the show, Ryan is not able to showcase her strong performance skills. A pity.
The one really nice surprise from the pilot of Bionic Woman is Katee Sackhoff. Known to fans as Starbuck on Battlestar Galatica, Sackhoff excel as the original, mentally disturbed female bionic fighter. With a shadowy past, Sackhoff imbues her villainous killer with subtle sensitivity. Controlling the screen, it is a shame that she could not have anchored this series. It would have been different, but at least it would have been compelling.
A sci-fi story through and through, this modern day retelling of the 1970s television program features a pretty straight forward story. Jamie Sommers is involved in a vicious car accident and loses her right arm, right ear and right eye as well as her legs. Given a new lease on life due to an experimental army program, Jamie is now constructed of her organic tissue and robotic anthrocites. Simply put, Jamie is now a superhero saddled with personal problems.
As you can tell, I find this incredibly disappointing. I was hoping for much more than I got and for that reason I cannot really recommend the show. Now, the pilot is going to be refilmed and altered per reports from NBC. The deaf sister of Jamie is being dropped to make room for a young rebellious teenager. Similar in style to the deaf sister in the pilot, this is just one trapping that will only help the pilot when removed. Regardless, I am cautious about Bionic Woman, Isaiah Washington's involvement in the show and the potential backlash towards Sci-fi series that this may cause.
Thanks for Reading.
Coming up soon: More pilots and my perspective on the BBC show Jekyll
On TV Tonight: Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares on the BBC America, AMC's Mad Men, and Burn Notice on USA.
Also, don't forget The Simpsons Movie this weekend. I can only hope it will be excellent.

(also see our dedicated page on hand, arm and shoulder problems)
Mrs B was a 54 year old lady who presented to the clinic complaining of a 9 week history of left-sided shoulder pain and restricted movement. These symptoms started gradually but over time they began to affect her general quality of life and morale. Pain increased, particularly at night leaving her tired during the daytime and she started to experience problems manipulating her arm, especially when dressing.
We took a full history from Mrs B about her presenting symptoms and also recorded a detailed account of her previous medical and surgical history. During this process she related how she had gradually began to feel more and more lethargic over the previous few years and following some investigations she had been recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. She said that since going on Thyroxine she felt considerably better and so now was disappointed that her health was once again in question.
After conducting a thorough examination, which included assessment of active and passive range of movements (ROMs), we reached a diagnosis of Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis).
With the aid of diagrams we described what a frozen shoulder was and talked to Mrs B about treatment plans and expectations. During the discussion we outlined the three distinct phases (see below) of a Frozen Shoulder. We emphasised that early intervention was key to limiting the duration of the condition and therefore as her condition was relatively early we were optimistic that we would be able to demonstrate significant improvement.
We are pleased to report that after 8 treatments over a course of 3 months Mrs B has made a very good recovery. She is now completely pain free and has almost a full range of motion in his shoulder.
The term 'Frozen Shoulder' was first coined by an American Surgeon E.A. Codman back in 1934 and his definition is still widely respected, 'this is a condition which comes on slowly with pain over the deltoid insertion, inability to sleep, painful incomplete elevation and external rotation, the restriction of movement being both active and passive, with a normal radiograph, the pain being very trying and yet all patients are able to continue their daily habits and routines'.
Its strongly associated with hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, hypoadrenalism, Parkinson's disease, cardiac disease, pulmonary disease, stroke.
Adhesive capsulitis is classified into two categories: (1) primary, which is insidious & idiopathic (2) secondary, which is generally due to trauma or subsequent immobilization.
Adhesive capsulitis presentation is generally broken into three distinct stages.
As a general rule patients should have participated in some form of therapy for at least 2 months, and shown no progress.
Once a frozen shoulder is suspected, osteopathic treatment should be started as soon as possible, if the recovery time is to be shortened as much as possible. Medical opinion is that frozen shoulders typically take 18 – 24 months to recover if untreated.
Please feel free to call us at Cheadle Osteopathy (0161 478 1877) if you require clarification or further information.

THE EXECUTIONER'S music is a visit down the inaccurate aspect of the tracks to the inner most resource of yank loneliness and violence. it's a towering achievement-impossible to place down, very unlikely to fail to remember.

I understand you went with him on pilgrimage.

There could be no more blessed death. Leave us now. " Elave made him a deep reverence, and went out from the chapter house with a buoyant step, like a man going to a festival. Canon Gerbert had refrained from comment while the petitioner was present, but he cleared his throat vociferously as soon as Elave had vanished, and said with weighty gravity: "My lord abbot, it is a great privilege to be buried within the walls.
The length of Robert's stride and the shortness of Jerome's legs turned what should have been a busy, self-important bustle into a hasty shamble, but it would always get Jerome in time to any spot where there was something happening that might provide him with occasion for curiosity, censure, or sanctimony. "Your strange visitors are acceptable," observed Hugh, seeing how the conference was proceeding, "if only on probation. " "The fellow with the cart I do know," said Cadfael.

And though Bernard might put in a word for popular criticism of the worldliness of many high churchmen, and yearn for a return to the poverty and simplicity of the Apostles, by all accounts he would have small mercy on anyone who diverged from the strictly orthodox where dogma was concerned. Radulfus might sidestep one citation of Bernard by countering with another, but he was quick to change the subject before he risked losing the exchange. "Here is Serlo," he said simply, "who remembers whatever contention the archbishop's missioner had with William.

Roth IRAs are not taxed at all (as long as you are over 59 1/2 yrs old & have had the account open for more than 5 years.
Withdrawals from your 401(k) will be taxed at the same rate as ordinary income tax (no penalties as long as you are over 59 1/2).
Here is some basic info to help you get started for your social security taxation. Your age also matters quite a bit as taxation differs as you get closer to "full retirement age":
Married filing jointly
$32,000 –$44,000
Up to 50%
Up to 85%
Up to 85%
$25,000 –$34,000
Up to 50%
$34,000Up to 85%
$34,000Up to 85%
Full retirement age and older
• Full benefit, no matter how much is earned
• If you worked while receiving Social Security, benefits increase at full retirement age to account for amounts withheld
In the year you reach full retirement age
• Earn up to $45,360/year — receive full benefit
• Earn over $45,360 /year — benefit reduced $1 for each additional $3 earned
Between age 62 and full retirement age
• Earn up to $17,040/year — receive full benefit
• Earn over $ 17,040/year — benefit reduced $1 for each additional $2 earned
You can still contribute to an IRA even though you are able to contribute to a 401k, assuming you do not exceed the annual income limits. here is the link to the IRS website regarding this https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/2017-ira-deduction-limits-effect-of-modified-agi-on-deduction-if-you-are-covered-by-a-retirement-plan-at-work
Even if you exceed these income limits you can still contribute to the IRA, but the trouble will come with how you can deduct the contributions on your taxes. If you exceed the income limits you can make the contributions, you just gotta pay taxes on that money. You will need to keep an accounting of the fact you paid the taxes on this money for when you take the money out in the future to make sure you don't pay the IRS double tax on the principal.
Based on my tax research resources, the short answer is participation in an employer plan will make you ineligible for a tax-deductible IRA in the same year.
An employee is covered by an employer retirement plan for a tax year if the employer has a:
• Defined contribution plan (profit-sharing, 401(k), stock bonus, or money purchase pension plan) and any contributions or forfeitures are allocated to the employee's account for the tax year.
• IRA-based plan (SEP, SARSEP, or SIMPLE IRA) and the employee has an amount contributed to the IRA for the tax year.
• Defined benefit plan (403(b) annuity, cash balance, or plans for federal, state, or local government employees, other than section 457(b) plans) and the employee is eligible to participate within the tax year. An employee is covered even if he or she declines to participate, does not make a required contribution, or does not perform the minimum service required to accrue a benefit for the year.
No vested interest. If any amount is allocated to or a benefit accrues to an employee's account, the employee is covered by that plan even if he or she has no vested interest in (legal right to) the account.
Since it's early in the year, you may be able to talk with your employer about withdrawing from the plan, taking the deferred contribution as income and adjusting your payroll records so that Box 13 on your 2017 W2 will not be checked. That is an operations issue you'll need to refer to the payroll and 401k administrator.
On the other hand, you may still consider a contribution to a non-deductible traditional IRA. It would need to be coded this way with the custodian and reported on your taxes to account for basis (and future tax issues). So if you can't successfully 'recall' funds, consider the non-deductible route.
And depending on your income, you may want to consider a Roth IRA contribution instead.
You really should consider having a good tax advisor as part of your team even if you are planning to direct your own investments.
While I don't know your specific situation, in general I don't favor raiding retirement funds to pay off your house. You generally won't be able to replace those funds, and the tax that must be paid beyond the mortgage payoff is so significant as to substantially negatively impact retirement for most people. I'd encourage you to get with a good planner before you pull the trigger on such an idea.
I would need more information to adequately answer that question. It really depends on what your top tax bracket is. For the Roth distributions, you won't have any taxes due, but the 401(k) will be added to your taxable income if it is a non-Roth 401(k). So every dollar you pull out of your 401(k) will be taxed at your top tax bracket. To give you an idea of the tax brackets, here is a link from the IRS on tax brackets.
Please remember, this does not factor in state taxes if you live in a state that has an income tax.
Hi Aaron,
The plan should have used code 2 in box 7 of your 1099R, which tells the IRS that there is an exception to the 10% penalty. If they put a code 1 in that box you need to use the form 5329, as they suggested, to avoid the penalty. In Part 1 of the form on line 2 put in code 12 and the dollar amount of the distribution. That will tell the IRS that there is an exception to the penalty. The age 55 exception is one of the exceptions covered by code 12.
Thank you so much Tom!
I tend to agree with both Gary and Davin. Gary has provided the general rule of thumb and Davin's request for more detailed information is appropriate to provide a specific more detailed answer to your question. However, the bottom line is that speaking with a Certified Financial Planner when dealing with a decision that will have long-lasting consequences is the right move to make.
Yes, and while the distribution would have been reported as taxable income for 2014 on an IRS Form 1099-R, it should not have been subject to the additional penalty tax on early distributions taken prior to age 59 1/2 [IRC §72(t)], as long as (1) you attained age 55 in 2014, and (2) the distribution was made to you after the date of your separation from service [IRC §72(t)(2)(A)(v)].
The plan administrator should have entered the code"2" in Box 7 of your 1099-R, reporting to the IRS that a known exception to the penalty tax applied. If they didn't, your tax preparer should have filed IRS Form 5329 your 2014 return. On that form, the total distribution should have been entered in Lines 1 and 2, and the exception number "01" should have been entered to the left of Line 2. The total distribution figure entered should match what was reported in Box 2a of your 1099-R, or Box 1 if 2a is blank and the first box in Box 2b was checked. On Form 5329, you subtract Line 2 from Line 1 to calculate the amount subject to the additional 10% tax (which would be 0), and enter that amount on Line 3.
2014 IRS Form 5329: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f5329--2014.pdf
By definition, a "401(k) Plan" is a Qualified Retirement Plan as defined in Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. 401(k) is actually just a feature that a Profit-Sharing Plan may include, permitting plan participants to make elective deferral contributions via salary reduction. So the Schwarz Partners plan is a Profit-Sharing Plan, which is a specific type of Defined Contribution Qualified Retirement Plan.
Edwin, there are a lot of moving parts to your plan. But the general rule of thumb I use is that you should not pay off the mortgage if its net cost is lower than a safe investment rate of return. I know. Jim Cramer yells about the absolute evil of debt, to be paid off at all costs and above all other priorities. However, if your mortgage interest rate is, for example, 2.75% then after Uncle Sam's credit it could be as low as 2%. You can easily earn a tax-deferred ROR of 3% so, in this example, you wouldn't want to pay off the mortgage. And this assumes you have ready cash. The tax impact of withdrawing $74k would tilt the equation even further in favor of keeping the mortgage.
The bottom line: Find a holistic, fiduciary adviser who has experience calculating this type of interest rate arbitrage.
I saw this comment regarding your 401k and also another post about an annuity. It seems like you need an advisor to help sort this all out for you and I'm not sure a message board will provide the best resolution.
Would you be able to email me so I can perhaps help more deeply? email@example.com.
That is correct. However, the message board can give me a better understanding in which professional I will go. Thanks in advance for your input.
It's nearly impossible to give "good" advice knowing so little about your overall plan. The best advice I can give with the limited information available is if your goal is to pay off your mortgage, I would recommend you increase your monthly mortgage payment so that it is paid through normal payment + additional principal payments from income rather than taking a distribution from your 401k.
If that is not possible, I would likely wait until the calendar year after you retire to make a distribution from 401k/IRAs as your taxable income will potentially be much lower, reducing the overall impact $74,000 (or whatever the number is at that time) of additional taxable gross income would be.
That of course depends on your tax situation. for example If you are in a higher tax bracket than 20% thank you would owe more. Also if you filed your taxes without putting the 1099r on your tax form than you may owe money because you received to big of a refund for 2014. For more specific info please feel free to contact me or a tax professional in your location
i should be in a lower tax bracket because i made under 25 k for 2014, i believe it was just 18 k, but yes by my ignorance i figured since they took out federal taxes i did not put the 1099 form on my taxes when i filed. i wonder if there is any way to get a lower amount, because they already took the 20% and with the 1600$ they say I owe now, seems like too high of an amount and I do not work now so it will be difficult for me to pay that.
if you take your original tax paperwork to a Professional tax preparer they my be able to do an amendment for you and figure out your exact amount owed
are they still open since its past april 15?
most professionals have an office that is open year round. Look online for a Jackson Hewitt or H&R Block near you
thank you very much
You always have the freedom to cash out your 401k or IRA. Just understand that taxes and penalties will apply. First find out why is your 401k custodian, Fidelity or American Funds for example. Call them up and navigate their prompts as directed. You will need to provide them with a bit of information and might need to sign a form to release the funds. My advise would be to take the funds out and then contribute it as a rollover to an IRA, by doing so you wont be taxed. Then take from the IRA only what is needed when needed to fund your education. If you have questions, just give me a call at the office.

First I am sorry for the loss for the beneficiary's son. Because the son was not required to take distributions due to his age there are a couple options available to the non-spouse beneficiary. I am assuming that the inherited funds are still with the 403b provider. Therefore, the first thing to do is contact the provider and let them know of the son's passing. They will send a packet explaining the options under the plan for distribution as well as the items they will need such as a death certificate.
Sometimes the options inside the 403b can be more restrictive than those of a inherited IRA due to the specific plan provider. If that is the case the beneficiary may want to consider doing a direct rollover to an inherited IRA. They can contact the institution of their choice to begin this process of setting up the account so that they will have the instructions for the 403b provider to do the direct rollover. The direct rollover will help the beneficiary avoid taxes from the movement of funds from the 403b to the inherited IRA. Care should be taken to determine that the inherited IRA is suited to the beneficiaries needs. Low cost investment options suited to the income needs and risk tolerance of the beneficiary should be part of the discovery process.
Here are the options for withdrawal: (1) The entire amount must be taken by December 31st of the fifth year following the son's death (the 5-year rule), or (2) over the life expectancy of the beneficiary (using IRS RMD life expectancy tables) within one year of the son's passing (the lifetime payment rule.) If the beneficiary wishes to use the second option it is extremely important that they begin that option prior to December 31st of the year following the son's passing. If they fail to begin distributions under this option by that date they will then have to take all of the amount within 5 years under option 1. The needs of the beneficiary will dictate which option is best. I hope this helps.

Leah Messer has faced reports of bad parenting and drug use for years and now, she's admitting to fans that she's a "hot mess." Although fans won't be reunited with Messer and her family until next week, the "Teen Mom 2" star has already taken aim at MTV, claiming she's nervous about how they will edit her to appear to viewers.
After refusing to feed her kids before school years ago and being featured allowing her youngest child to eat packets of Sweet and Low, Messer took aim at MTV during an interview with Radar Online days ago, in which she admitted that she never really knows what fans are going to see when the show airs.
She also said there was "a lot of editing" done to her footage.
Leah Messer slammed MTV on Twitter months ago
After appearing to be quite out of it during episodes of "Teen Mom 2" earlier this year, Leah Messer said that she didn't understand how the person behind editing could live a happy life after they allegedly manipulated the audience. She also said it was sad.
Also during the show, Messer claimed she was pretty sure that her ex-husband, Jeremy Calvert, wanted her back, despite his relationship with Brooke Wehr.
As fans will recall, Messer and Calvert sat down for a meal during filming to discuss the fallout of their marriage, which ended in late 2014 due to what Calvert believed was an affair between Messer and her ex-boyfriend, Robbie Kidd (Messer also cheated on first husband Corey Simms with Kidd).
Leah Messer denied drug use claims made on the show
During earlier episodes of "Teen Mom 2," Messer faced allegations of drug use after she began to act strangely on camera.
After being seen slurring her words and nearly nodding out while holding a baby, Messer's ex-husbands, Calvert and Simms, were seen discussing her issues. However, while both men spoke of a drug addiction, Messer claimed she was not addicted to anything.
To see more of Leah Messer and her family, tune in to the premiere of "Teen Mom 2" season 7B on Monday, January 2, at 9 p.m. on MTV.

5 Ways to Keep the Kids Busy When Stuck Indoors
With the fall weather quickly turning into winter weather, I'm sure that you and your kids – like us – have spent more time than usual indoors. The kids experience cabin fever and I start hearing "I'm bored" more times than I can count. Here are five simple (and inexpensive!) ideas to keep the kids busy during those long dreary days when you can't leave the house.
Have a Picnic
The word "picnic" just evokes fun, doesn't it? Get out the basket and let the kids decide what to have for lunch on the living room floor.
Think about easy kid-friendly foods like lunch meat rolled around string cheese, little crackers, veggie sticks, or PB&J sandwiches. Eat the food off of paper plates. And don't forget to spread the picnic blanket on the living room floor!
Pretend that you are all outdoors and that you can feel the warm sun and that you have to brush ants off of the blanket. The kids will get a kick out of pretending.
Just Dance
Kids LOVE to dance. Turn on some music and just dance! Let each child pick a song they want to dance to. If your children are too young to tell you, select a variety of different genres so that they can learn about different types of music. From the oldies to jazz and country, this could keep you busy for hours!
Not only will everybody have fun dancing, the kids will also burn off some of that pent-up energy (and you will get a workout).
Put All of Their Senses to Work
Fill up a few bowls with a variety of textured objects like dry beans or rice, cold cooked spaghetti, cotton balls, or anything else that the kids would have a fun time feeling. Another fun one is peeled grapes…they feel very weird! Have the kids close their eyes, touch the items, and try to guess what the different objects are.
Play With Food
There are some food items that the kids can use to "build" and have fun with. Pretzels can be used to create stick figures or mazes, using peanut butter as glue. Marshmallows are pliable and can be formed into snowmen or people (use those pretzels for arms and legs!).
Sugar cookie pizzas would make a great snack. Slice several thick slices from a roll of refrigerated sugar-cookie dough. Flatten them on the cookie sheet to widen them into "pizza crust". Bake as directed and cool for about 10 minutes. Let the kids build their own pizzas using strawberry jelly for the sauce, shredded coconut for the cheese, and M&M's for pepperoni. The possibilities are endless!
Snuggle Up
Sometimes the best thing to do is pop in a favorite movie, make a bowl of popcorn, and get under the warmest blankets you can find. Eating popcorn in the living room is a treat at my house, throw in snuggling together and it sends the kids over the moon!
What other fun indoor activities do you depend on to keep your kids busy?

Brussels (Reuters) — Google, Facebook, Microsoft and other tech giants could face more curbs on their market power after a European Parliament committee voted in favour of tougher copyright rules on Wednesday.
These copyright rules were proposed by the European Commission 2 years ago, the main point being taking in the account the growing role of online platforms, forcing them to share revenues with publishers and bear liability for copyright violation on the internet.
However, this voting received quite a lot of discussions and critic: the opponents of it seem to think that such decision will break the internet. For example, German legislator Julia Reda, part of the Greens group in the parliament says that "people will run into trouble doing everyday things like discussing the news and expressing themselves online. Locking down our freedom to participate to serve the special interests of large media companies is unacceptable."
Two articles of the vote — 11 and 13 — received even more criticism. Article 11, also named as the neighbouring right for press publishers, could force Google, Microsoft and other tech giants to pay publishers for showing news snippets.
In addition to this, Article 13 would require online platforms such as Youtube, GitHub, Instagram and eBay to install filters to prevent users from uploading copyrighted materials or seek licenses to display content.
However, publishers' position is quite different on this one, as they've cheered the committee's vote, calling it a victory for fairness, and proposed that rights holders should be rewarded.

Kudos to Andrew Ng (Stanford, Google, Baidu)
by Tom Austin | January 23, 2015 | Comments Off on Kudos to Andrew Ng (Stanford, Google, Baidu)
Andrew is chief scientist at Baidu research labs in California; CS faculty at Sanford and former direct of AI research at Google. In a recent interview with the Wall St Journal, he said:
WSJ: Who's at the forefront of deep learning?
Ng: There are a lot of deep-learning startups. Unfortunately, deep learning is so hot today that there are startups that call themselves deep learning using a somewhat generous interpretation. It's creating tons of value for users and for companies, but there's also a lot of hype. We tend to say deep learning is loosely a simulation of the brain. That sound bite is so easy for all of us to use that it sometimes causes people to over-extrapolate to what deep learning is. The reality is it's really very different than the brain. We barely (even) know what the human brain does.
Right on the money!

Right now, your life is not easy. Alcohol abuse has led to dysfunction in your home, work, finances, and health. Furthermore, you probably began drinking in a misguided attempt to feel better about yourself and daily life; not worse. Now that you are in this place, you need life-changing an alcoholism treatment center for the life you really want.
An Alcoholism Treatment Center Can Change Your Life
Your past is just that; your past. You have the ability to change your life as soon as you admit it's time for change. The first step is to stop allowing your alcoholism to define you.
To move forward, you need to be accountable for your journey into alcoholism and your current situation. Admitting to your faults will open doors to a better future through life changes made in addiction treatment.
After you enter an available alcohol addiction treatment center, you need to focus on your future. Alcoholism treatment will change your life, but you need to remain vigilant in managing your disease for long-term sobriety.
How Rehab Will Change Your Life
Entering an alcoholism treatment center is life-changing, no matter how your addiction affects you today. You will see many positive changes after rehab. In rehab, you gain the support of people who want you to succeed. Your addiction counselors, doctors and peers in recovery will cheer you on each step of the way.
Your life won't revolve around alcohol anymore.
Once you get through detox, you will feel much healthier and more focused on lasting sobriety. However, you will still experience cravings, triggers and temptations. You need rehab treatment to learn coping skills and other ways of dealing with your own specific addiction. As a result, your life opens up after rehab and you finally have control over your daily life.
Your thought processes will be healthier.
With the clarity of sobriety, your life is less dramatic. Once you gain insight through rehab therapies, you will think more clearly and make better decisions. Your days will be less about cleaning up messes related to your alcoholism, and more about working toward a better future. You will also feel better about yourself and all you can accomplish.
You will be social without drinking.
Many people start drinking because they're anxious in social situations. In sobriety, you will socialize without drinking. This is actually a "skill" you learn in treatment through group therapy and other sessions.
You will have a more fulfilling life.
Living with addiction isolates you. It's frustrating, embarrassing, painful and emotionally difficult to be bound to alcohol. In sobriety, you let all of these feelings go and stop feeling guilty as part of daily life. You gain hope and enlightenment through the process.
Your self-confidence expands.
In freedom from addiction, you will see your mood even out. Depression, anxiety and other emotional struggles lighten. As you accomplish goals, your self-esteem increases, as does pride in yourself.
Your own needs become a priority.
Alcohol addiction is a selfish disease. In treatment, you will stop behaving selfishly and start behaving mindfully. As a result, you will have greater self-awareness and learn how to remedy feelings, thoughts and problems as they occur.

Hot on the heels of Sigala's most recent collaboration with Ella Eyre 'Came Here For Love' comes the DJ's latest offering 'Lullaby,' featuring the eclectic, whimsical-looking British songstress Paloma Faith, a track that is set to tickle your music taste buds for sure. This is not the first time that the endearing, retro-influenced Ms Faith has featured on a dance collaboration – how could we forget her featuring on Sigma's platinum No.1 banger 'Changing' back in 2014? Thank goodness she has teamed up with Sigala to provide her mezzo-soprano vocals for this new feel-good house-pop banger.
One thing that both Sigala and Paloma Faith have in common is that they both take great pride in crafting songs about love, and 'Lullaby' is no exception. In a recent interview with the UK's Official Charts Company, the Norwich-born DJ described this new song as "an ode to the person who's stuck with you through all the highs and lows" and how he's happy to have Hackney-born Paloma Faith on board with it, saying "Paloma's unique voice is perfect for it." And it is not hard to understand why. Just listen to her gruff yet feathery, soulful melodies flow against the song's euphoric rhythm, as she chants rather emitting, soul-baring lyrics such as "No journey is too far for the one who healed my scars/You're my saviour, you're my star/Let me hold you." How many other artists out their today can provide a unique style to a mainstream genre of music like this, as well as be able to provide lyrics which really speak to the fans?
Two totally different musical backgrounds being interlinked is a rare feat that can not always be pulled off, yet Sigala and Paloma Faith are examples of the very few artists who do succeed. 'Lullaby' is currently at No.21 on the UK Singles Chart, so let us not pay dust to this ultra feel good track and make it the No.1 summer smash hit that it deserves to be!
Note: 'Lullaby' by Sigala and Paloma Faith is now available for download and streaming across all devices. You can also catch Paloma Faith performing this song as well as many other songs of her own on The Architect Tour, which comes to Liverpool's very own Echo Arena on Tuesday 20th March 2018.

Deep Flare
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Late 2025. William S. Anderson is the pilot of a spaceship sent off to exploration in order to investigate about a mysterious event named "Deep Flare". The hostile environment is not going to be his only concern. He will have to face the unknown, his fears and worries, unravel schemes and secrets hidden by time, become pioneer of a new age. In a time when mankind has lost itself, you must find it again by getting through darkness.
Deep Flare is a 2D episodic space exploration game set in our solar system. Being focused on the plot and the atmosphere, it fits the expectations of those looking for a single player old time experience. The game offers crafting elements through which the player will be able to upgrade his spaceship, and 2D shoot'em up elements, but the gameplay is not as focused on shooting as it is on avoiding the dangers that our solar system has hidden away from us.
Europa Demo
Almost two years ago, our project was focused on releasing one single big game called Deep Flare: Explorer. We started by working on a full playable demo set on Europa, one of the Jupiter's main satellites. Alas, our plans had to change in order to adapt to a different working condition that our lives forced us to adopt. In this demo, you'll get control of the spaceship's exploration module, in a quest to get everything ready for departure after an unlucky incident... but there are many mysteries hidden on the icy moon for you to unveil.
We decided to put voice acting in this demo, even though this feature will not make it to the completed version of the game.

If you asked me how I feel about music, I'd say I'm an enthusiast. My friends might say a fanatic, but I just tune them out.
There's something inexplicable about music that moves our hearts and stirs our souls. Powerful lyrics can be just the right thing to lift our mood and cheer us up, and I personally owe many happy moments to inspired songwriters.
Even without lyrics, though, the melody, harmony, and expressive flow of a musical piece speak volumes. When I listen to a classical piece, I feel my emotions sway with the notes. Slow, moody tremors give way to skipping joyous lilts, rising tempests, and sunset skies. The music effortlessly carries my soul without a word, and I understand the meaning clearly.
I've found this concept holds true in my life. I'm blessed with solid, faith-filled friends who take time to encourage me and pick me up when I'm wallowing in negative emotions. They often remind me of a scripture, testimony, quote, or even a funny story. Like the lyrics of a good song, they give me hope and positivity, and I am so grateful for their support.
Sometimes, though, they don't say a word. They might not even know my inner struggles. They just live their lives, filled with their own ups and downs, but the music of their soul resonates in mine. I feel the tempests, the clear skies, the happy moments, and troubled times. And through it all, I see their unwavering commitment to trust in Jesus. And honestly, their song of life echoes louder than any words of wisdom, any clever line, any verbal expression.
I know that both are needed. There is a time to give answers to weary, searching souls. But even if sometimes our words are few, the music of our life—how we live, and how much we love—is always heard.

A new voice for refugees in Canada
Globalink intern at the University of Saskatchewan researching how language barriers affect food security for refugees
Globalink intern at the University of Saskatchewan researching how language barriers affect food security for refugees
Canada has always welcomed refugees, but with the recent increase in volume the infrastructure has struggled to keep up. Small cities often lack sufficient resources, while refugees lack the skillset to integrate on their own. Sarah Alkholb has travelled from Saudi Arabia to Saskatoon this summer to address one facet of this problem. Working with Professor Hassan Vatanparast, she is researching the food security crisis facing newly landed refugee populations in Canada. Professor Vatanparast's project is a collaboration between Ryerson University, the University of Saskatchewan, and the University of Montreal, along with several partner service agencies.
As a linguistics major, Sarah brings a unique perspective to the project. "Sarah's project is instrumental in understanding how language barriers contribute to food insecurity. Coming from outside Canada means she can be an objective observer of the challenge we face," says Professor Vatanparast.
The goal of Sarah's project is to identify obstacles that prevent refugees from receiving support, including the impact of language on food access and nutrition. The team plans to present the project findings to government and other stakeholders to inform policy decisions and provide guidance for operational processes.
Following her internship, Sarah intends to publish a paper on her project. It will be a collaboration between Sarah, her home professor, Dr. Rasha Alshaye, and Professor Vatanparast. Sarah would like to continue to build the relationships she has established with Professor Vatanparast and her fellow researchers.
"It's been incredible to work with such a passionate and engaged research team. Their willingness to share their knowledge has made this a great experience and I am forever grateful for this opportunity."
Mitacs thanks the Government of Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan for their support of the Globalink research internship in this story. Across Canada, the Globalink research internship program also receives support from from Alberta Innovates, the Government of British Columbia, the Government of New Brunswick, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Government of Nova Scotia, the Government of Ontario, the Government of Prince Edward Island, the Government of Quebec, and Research Manitoba.
In addition, Mitacs is pleased to work with the following international partners to support the Globalink research internship program: Universities Australia; Brazil's Unidersidade de Sao Paulo; the China Scholarship Council; Campus France; the German Academic Exchange Service; Mexico's Secretariat of Public Education and Tecnológico de Monterrey; Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Education; Tunisia's Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and Mission Universitaire de Tunisie en Amerique du Nord; and the Ukrainian-Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko.

Most modern vehicles have onboard computers that gather different parameters and information about vehicle systems, including fuel level and fuel consumption. This data can be read and transmitted to a fleet manager.
As a rule, modern vehicles are equipped with internal fuel sensors that gather data for an onboard PC. These built-in devices may be less precise, but they don't need any kind of works for mounting. It can be used by light motor vehicles or special fleet units when the installation of external devices is not available.
There are some methods of the CAN data reading:
- Сonnecting to CAN by wires. It gives complete onboard data with the risk of blowing out and damaging (in case of direct wire connection). As safer alternative, technicians can use crocodile wire on CAN, but it gathers only limited pool of parameters.
- Use of OBDII devices. It is the most popular way to get basic onboard data without any kind of technical works. OBDII trackers are plug-and-play devices that can collect the information about fuel level and fuel consumption. Most popular OBDII GPS devices are GoSafe G797, Queclink GV500, Coban GPS306.
The calibration process is necessary because onboard computers usually use built-in fuel level sensors. Otherwise, a fleet manager will be able to get only a percentage of fuel level from 0 to 100%.
Some advanced GPS trackers (like GoSafe G797) can work with fuel weight. Fuel volume can be counted as its weight divided by fuel density. The table of fuel density should be appraised on the assumption of fuel types. For example, a fleet manager can use simple tables like that
Fuel density:
- Octane 90: 0.722kg/L
- Octane 93: 0.725kg/L
- Octane 97: 0.737kg/L
- Diesel 0°C: 0.835kg/L
- Diesel -10°C: 0.840kg/L
- Diesel -20°C: 0.843kg/L
Using the information from your onboard PC, you will be able to cut your fuel expenses without hard mounting.
