IRS Announces 2016 Retirement Plan Contribution Limits | Conshohocken Benefit Broker
On October 21, 2015, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced cost-of-living adjustments affecting dollar limitations for pension plans and other retirement-related items for tax year 2016. In general, the pension plan limitations will not change in 2016 because the increase in the cost-of-living index did not meet the statutory thresholds that trigger their adjustment. The following is a summary of the limits for 2016. For 401(k), 403(b), and most 457 plans and the federal government's Thrift Savings Plans:
The elective deferral (contribution) limit remains unchanged at $18,000 for 2016.
The catch-up contribution limit for employees aged 50 and over who participate in these plans remains at $6,000 for 2016.
For individual retirement arrangements (IRAs):
The limit on annual contributions remains unchanged at $5,500 for 2016.
The additional catch-up contribution limit for individuals aged 50 and over is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment and remains $1,000 for 2016.
For simplified employee pension (SEP) IRAs and individual/solo 401(k)s:
Elective deferrals remains unchanged at $53,000 in 2016, based on an annual compensation limit of $265,000.
The minimum compensation that may be required for participation in a SEP remains unchanged at $600 for 2016.
For savings incentive match plan for employees (SIMPLE) IRAs:
The contribution limit on SIMPLE IRA retirement accounts remains unchanged at $12,500 for 2016.
The SIMPLE catch-up limit remains unchanged at $3,000 for 2016.
For defined benefit plans:
The basic limitation on the annual benefits under a defined benefit plan is unchanged at $210,000 for 2016.
Other changes:
Highly-compensated and key employee thresholds: The threshold for determining "highly compensated employees" remains unchanged at $120,000 for 2016; the threshold for officers who are "key employees" remains at $170,000 for 2016.
Social Security cost of living adjustment: In a separate announcement, the Social Security Administration stated that the taxable wage base will remain at $118,500 for 2016. In addition:
The maximum Old Age, Survivor and Disability Insurance (OASDI) tax remains at $7,347 for both employers and employees.
Hospitalization insurance (Medicare) tax continues to apply to all wages.

We just got our first ever Moderna jabs
Moderna jabs make their Egypt debut: 784k doses of Moderna vaccines arrived at Cairo Airport yesterday, according to a Health Ministry statement, marking the first Moderna doses to arrive in Egypt. The vaccines were donated by Canada through the GAVI/Covax program, according to Higher Education and Acting Health Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, who added that Egypt now offers Sinovac, Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, Sputnik, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Moderna vaccines.
We've been looking out for Moderna shots for some time: The Health Ministry first told us to expect the first Moderna jabs sometime in September, then in October as part of a total of 8 mn doses of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines donated from the US, though we only seem to have received successive Pfizer doses from the US to date.
The ministry has administered 38 mn vaccines since it began its rollout in January, interim health minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar said yesterday. It did not disclose how many people have been fully vaccinated against the virus. It has received a total of 72 mn doses, giving it a supply of 34 mn spare doses. The ministry is expecting to up its supply by an additional 26 mn doses of Pfizer, Moderna, Sinovac, Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccines, the statement said, without providing a timetable.
Over 1.5 mn university employees have received their covid vaccines, Abdel Gaffar said.
The Health Ministry reported 933 new covid-19 infections yesterday, down from 948 the day before. Egypt has now disclosed a total of 331,017 confirmed cases of covid-19. The ministry also reported 59 new deaths, bringing the country's total death toll to 18,651.

Jerome Valcke has swung from promoting the pragmatism of dictatorship to asserting the values of democracy.
The secretary-general of world football federation FIFA displayed the breadth of his political philosophy while in Brazil on his latest progress-chasing mission ahead of next year's World Cup finals.
FIFA, and Valcke in particular, have been exasperated all along by the Brazilians' tardiness in preparing for the first World Cup in South America since Argentina in 1978.
That was when he suggested, in verbal shorthand, that a dictatorship was advantageous in terms of decision making clarity – not that he was advocating government by despot.
Valcke was speaking in a week when, ironically, the Olympic delivery authority created to shortcircuit such issues for the 2016 Rio Games is about to go down in flames.
FIFA and the Brazilian government were then taken entirely by surprise by the street protests which exploded across Brazil in June during the Confederations Cup, the World Cup rehearsal.
Millions came out, largely peacefully, to express their anger at a perceived imbalance between the government's spending on World Cup preparations and its social welfare provisions.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter and Valcke pointed out, at the time, that the previous government of President Lula had signed up to the all the guarantees demanded of a World Cup host.
However Valcke has now said that in his opinion FIFA might, in future, feel the need for a potential host nation to obtain the support of a parliamentary vote and/or national referendum to obviate a repeat.
He said: "Before Brazil's hosting proposal was sent to FIFA, they could have voted in congress and that might be done in the future. Then it would be national support rather than just a bid sent by a federation with government guarantees.
This is not an immediate issue. The World Cups for 2018 and 2022 have already been assigned to Russia and Qatar respectively so the next uncharted World Cup will be only in 2026.
In the meantime Valcke, while anticipating more protests during next year's finals, pointed out also that Brazilians had led the rush when tickets sales began this week.
He said: "Brazil loves football and support football. Of course I know that the World Cup is a platform for demonstrations but the majority of Brazilians will gather at the fan fests and public exhibition events.


Every year I try to think of things I can make in advance that will simplify the days leading up to our annual after-the-holidays holiday party. This recipe certainly fits in that category. It can be made up to 6 weeks in advance and stashed in the freezer to unexpected guests or a planned gathering. Plus it includes one of the current "it" ingredients, bacon.
One added bonus of this recipe is that you can substitute to your hearts content and produce a new variant of bacon bites with whatever you have on hand. Replace the cream cheese with any spreadable medium, switch up the cheese, replace the peppers with salami, or black olives, or gummy bears. Well maybe not gummy bears. Make them your own.
Mix together the cheeses until smooth. Stir in the peppers and scallions until evenly distributed; set aside.
Trim the crusts from the slices of bread. Gently flatten the bread slices with a pastry roller or rolling pin.
Once the bread is trimmed and flattened, spread the slices with the filling, covering it completely.
Roll the bread up from the short side, pressing down just enough to make it stick to itself.
Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around the roll diagonally, overlapping the bacon to cover the bread completely. If you need more than one bacon slice, tuck the end of the second bacon slice under the end of the first. Trim the bacon when you get to the end of the roll.
Place completed roll on a parchment lined rimmed baking pan. When all rolls are completed freeze them for 30 minutes to firm them up.
If making for consumption at this time then preheat the oven to 350°F and line a second rimmed baking pan with parchment. If making for later enjoyment, transfer to a large ziptop bag and return to the freezer.
When ready to enjoy, slice the rolls in thirds and place on the baking sheet, cut side down. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the tops are golden brown. If fully frozen bake an extra 5 minutes.
There's no need to thaw these if you are pulling them from the freezer after they are fully frozen. Just bake an extra 5 minutes or so and they should be good to go.
As best I can remember the original recipe I used came from King Arthur Flour's website.
I wanted a bit of sweet-salty crunch with the salad we made as part of our Christmas Eve dinner this year. After bouncing options off my husband I opted for a quick online search where I found this recipe that sounded promising. A bit of on-the-fly modification produced a tasty result.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the pecans. Toast for about 1 minute, swishing the nuts around the pan frequently. Transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining ingredients to the skillet, allow the sugar to melt and swirl to combine the spices.
Return the nuts to the pan and toss to coat. Allow to cook for another minute until the nuts are well-coated with sugar and spice.
Transfer nuts to a rimmed baking dish lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Spread the nuts out so they don't touch. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Allow to cool for 30 minutes and then transfer to a sealable container.
Let these cool at least a minute or two before tasting; the sugary coating is lavatastic when it first comes out of the skillet.
The name may sound fancy (c'mon, cheese puffs sounds highfalutin to me) however they are simple to make and can be created in many variations. I first had a similar creation, made with fake crab meat, 20 years ago.
One of the best parts is that you can make them well in advance and store them in the freezer for up to a month before using. Great when you there are unexpected guests or you are prepping for a big party.
Mix the first 6 ingredients in a bowl until fully combined.
Place about 2 Tbsp. of mixture on each English muffin half. Spead into an even layer over the muffin.
Cut each muffin into 6 wedges. Place wedges on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour.
When ready to arrange the oven rack 4-5″ from the broiler. Preheat broiler (use 450°F if you need to enter a temp like I do) for 5 minutes. Transfer half the cheese puff wedges to a separate baking sheet. Bake for 4-5 minutes, rotating sheet once for even browning. Serve immediately.
I used jarred roasted red peppers for this as I had them on hand. I removed 2 from the jar and placed them on paper towels to dry them a bit. You certainly can use home-prepared roasted red peppers if you have the time and inclination.
If you want to store these rather than bake them off right away then transfer the frozen wedges to a zip top bag after the hour freeze in step 3. They'll keep for a month (or longer).
While these work test with an hour in the freezer you can bake them right after making. They'll cook up in 1-2 minutes so keep an eye on them lest they burn.
I made these for our holiday party this year. I was in search of a vegetable appetizer, something that was a single bit and savory. I found a recipe titled "Gluten Free Cucumber Slices Provençal" which fit the bill.
I'm not sure why the title includes the words "gluten free". It is gluten free however I can't conceive of a way to make the dish that would include gluten. Anyway, I made a few changes to the recipe so it fit it to my taste.
This chutney can play multiple roles in the kitchen. For our Christmas week festivities it will act as "surprise" companion to creme brulee and a topping for a brick of cream cheese. It could replace the canned cranberry sauce with roast turkey (though there is a special place in my heart for can-shapped cranberry sauce) or cut the delicious fattiness of slow roasted pork shoulder.
This recipe is adapted from one Moosewood Restaurant Celebrates. I adjusted the amounts and wrote it up in my own words. Enjoy.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring periodically, for 5 minutes or until the onions start to become translucent.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cinnamon, grated ginger, cardamon and salt; stir to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the cranberries, brown sugar, water and vinegar. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves. Cover and bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes.
Remove the cover and cook for 5-10 minutes. The chutney will look more like soup than chutney at this point. The cranberries will pop, soften and thicken the chutney.
Add the mango and simmer for 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat and taste for sweet/salty balance.
Allow to cool for 1 hour then transfer to a storage container. Will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
Frozen fruit (both cranberries and mangoes) should work fine in this recipe. Frozen mangoes will probably disappear into the chutney more than fresh ones.
Samosas are basically a potato patty covered in dough. They are typically deep fried and can be served with chutney or yogurt. I made these as part of menu this past Saturday night and wanted something baked rather than fried. I love these fried however I didn't want to stand next to a pot of hot oil for as long as it would take to cook enough of these to feed our usual crowd.
After a bit of web searching I settled on this recipe. After making several guesses to make up for missing info in the recipe the end result was something that looked a bit like a small pita pocket filled with a tasty filling. All but 3 of 24 were consumed by 8 people, including 3 kids, as part of a large meal. I consider that a success.

Tech company Gsoft seems to have it all figured out. No vacation days and no dress code, the Montreal-based group's mantra is: Trust by default. Find out why they're thriving and why their employees love what they do.


What first sparked your interest in photography, and what is it about the form that inspires you?
My earliest experiments with photography were used as elements in digital illustrations and collages. I spent a lot of time exploring abandoned buildings and was really drawn to rust and mildew as textures. The more time I spent with a camera, the more I allowed my photos to be their own thing. I think the process of shooting inspires me more than the medium itself. I love experiencing the slightly altered state of consciousness that occurs when observing nature on such a basic level of shape, colour and light.
I have a few different pairings of cameras that I bring with me depending on the conditions. For longer multi-day or multi-week hikes I'll bring a digital Ricoh GR and Yashica T4 or Voigtlander Bessa III. On my most recent trip (primarily a road-trip with day hikes) I brought along a Mamiya 7ii and a Sony A7rII with a Sony 55mm and Zeiss 25mm. Some of my favorite photos were shot on film, but I don't consider myself an analog zealot. I reserve film for the best light while digital lets me experiment a bit more freely.
I've been a big fan of Kodak's Portra film, but I recently started experimenting with Fuji's Pro400H. I have my film developed at a lab in Seattle and scan at home using a Nikon Coolscan 9000 ED. It's a time- consuming process, but I end up with 4000dpi RAW files that I can bring into Photoshop to invert using ColorNeg. Finally, I take that into Lightroom for a few adjustments to tonal curves. My next step will hopefully be figuring out how to make giant prints!
I don't necessarily set out with a clearly defined project in mind, so I try and bounce around to different environments over the course of the year. Once I've collected enough photos from a region, a series develops around that. A recent trip that stands out was a month-long exploration of Taiwan. It was refreshing to be surrounded by completely new shapes and sounds and even a different quality of light because of the particulate in the air. I was able to journey outside of the big cities and see the mountains and forests that make Taiwan such a special place. The food was also some of the best I've ever had. It's a place that left such a big impression that I'm considering moving there next year.
What's the most extreme situation you've found yourself in whilst shooting?
My difficult experiences would hardly qualify as extreme, mostly just uncomfortable. I've gotten pretty good at being cold, dirty and tired for weeks at a time. Because I'm usually alone, I'm not willing to put myself in any unnecessary danger. I feel like the most stressful moments I've encountered have involved driving. I have very dark memories of plowing through intense blizzards, carefully negotiating foggy mountain roads blocked by rockslides and getting completely stuck in deep sand.
You're a motion designer as well as a photographer. Do the two sides to your creative practice ever influence each other or converge?
Motion design helps keep my design sensibilities intact, which influences the graphic arrangements in my landscapes. My design jobs are also very collaborative and that helps keeps my people skills intact. Photography gets me away from a computer and is incredibly therapeutic. I don't think I would want to fully commit to a single practice, since I get so much out of both.
I don't have any, now that I think about it. Thankfully, I've been lucky enough to find myself surrounded by a few amazing scientists, artists, architects, athletes, filmmakers and musicians who are all a powerfully positive force in the world.

It is a pretty interesting topic – and should be required for any software professional, especially managers! The author tends to hammer home the same point over and over by comparing the software industry to the auto industry. There is a lot of legal information in the book toward the end. I skimmed the parts that got boring or that I already knew about (like the rise of open source software).
The part about the Therac-25 XRay machine that killed several people due to a software defect is chilling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25). I remember being told this story in my first software class in college. It is surprising how few people know of this event. Try/catch block anybody? Defensive programming anybody? The Therac-25 has a downright bazaar UI as you can see in the wiki article. The teacher said the corporate veil was pierced and the developers were charged criminally with manslaughter – I can't seem to find anything about this though today.
The book talks about hacking and how prolific it is. The idea of a 'dragon' hacker who has 100's of zero day exploits at their disposal is brought up. These are the scary ones that you never see. It is true, the best hackers will never let you know they own your machine. Only the idiots deface a site with their call sign or leave any trace.
We are all crash test dummies in the information age. Identity theft is on the rise, and systems are getting less secure, not more secure.
Software is still akin to artisan or craftsmen level quality.
Software defects in medical devices and airplanes have caused deaths. More and more devices are being built to operate by wire – like automobiles.
It is very hard to regulate software production. The US government wants to stay out of the way to keep the momentum going. In honesty that is probably the lesser of two evils.
The legal precedent for software makers is to claim no responsibility for defects – THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED…. In other words, if it breaks, tough luck. It is up to the user to pay for anti-virus, firewalls, and keep the program up to date.
Software makers need defects in their current build so users will have an incentive to upgrade. Otherwise they put themselves out of business.
More features = more bugs, but the market seems to want more features, even if they don't use them. * My note: This is changing however, by companies like 37Signals which release software that has LESS features on purpose.
Standardization is needed in terms of 'engineering' practices, but may be decades out.
Users foot the cost of applying patches, not the software maker.
Businesses have no incentive to be perfect. In fact, being perfect would be stupid. Businesses want to ship the product and start making profit.
Current programming languages are still full of pitfalls. When C++ was first described to me, the man said it was enough rope to hang yourself 3.5 times. This is true in any language, for any junior programmer, and some senior people never get it. The vast majority of code is written in non-deterministic languages (C++, Java, C#), which have quirks when multi-theading. Only functional languages stand up to multi-threaded execution- the key to harnessing multi-core processor architectures.
The complexity of dependencies between software systems is just nuts. DLL hell is a thing of the past. Still when it comes to a specific app stack and all the parts that go into it (some perhaps open source?), who knows what will happen when someone half way across the world commits something?
Let's not even discuss outsourcing and security.
Awareness of the issues is my only antidote for now. I do my best to bring up these issues to management and make sure they are clear on the situation. Suggestion: frame the situation as an opportunity. The cure is a long time coming and who knows what the catalyst will be?

An oil refinery is seen in Carson, California. The International Energy Agency said Wednesday that oil demand is likely to surge in 2015 as the global economy steadily improves. But the outlook on oil prices "is only getting murkier," the agency's Oil Market Report says. Reuters
Oil demand is likely to surge this year as the global economy steadily improves. But whether the world's thirst for crude will be enough to prop up sluggish oil prices is still unclear, the International Energy Agency said Wednesday.
Oil prices have plunged 50 percent since last year amid waning global demand and an unprecedented boost in supplies. Given that drop, "one might be hoping for more clarity on supply and demand," the agency, based in Paris, said in its monthly Oil Market Report. "Yet in some ways, the outlook is only getting murkier."
The IEA raised its forecast of global oil demand to 93.6 million barrels per day in 2015, a gain of 1.1 million barrels a day on the year. The agency called the jump a "notable acceleration" from 2014's growth levels of 0.7 million barrels per day, attributing the rise to growing demand in China, India and Europe and a spate of colder temperatures in the first quarter, which prompted homes and factories to burn more energy for heat.
Global oil demand is likely to surge this year to 93.6 million barrels per day, a gain of 1.1 million barrels a day on the year, as the global economy steadily improves. International Energy Agency
Crude oil output is likewise on the rise. Oil supplies surged by 1 million barrels a day in March, to a monthly total of 95.2 million barrels a day, thanks largely to soaring production in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Libya. Year-on-year gains in oil output, which totaled 3.5 million barrels a day, were split between OPEC nations and non-OPEC nations, such as the United States.
The IEA said it remains to be seen if the boost in global oil consumption will stimulate higher prices, or whether the growth is merely a temporary blip. "The demand response has taken the market by surprise. Unexpected pockets of demand strength have emerged," the report said. "Should those be seen as a sign that the demand response to lower prices will prove more robust than expected, or rather as a temporary aberration that will lead back to renewed weakness later on?"
A decline in output, however, could alternately boost prices, as evidenced by the price hike Wednesday on news of falling U.S. production.
Brent crude futures, an international benchmark, jumped more than a dollar to $59.78 in afternoon trading in Europe after the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported lower-than-expected builds in U.S. crude stocks. The agency said crude stocks rose 1.29 million barrels to nearly 484 million barrels in the week of April 6-10. Earlier forecasts put the crude-stock gains at 4.1 million barrels, a Reuters survey of analysts found. U.S. crude futures rose $1.60 to hit $54.89 a barrel Wednesday.
The U.S. agency, based in Washington, this week forecast that U.S. shale production would drop by 45,000 barrels per day to 4.98 million barrels per day in May, marking the first monthly decline in four years. In North Dakota, one of the states leading America's shale boom, oil production fell by 15,000 barrels per day in February from the previous month.
Crude oil supplies rose by 1 million barrels a day in March to a total of 95.2 million barrels a day, thanks partly to higher Saudi Arabian, Iraqi and Libyan output. International Energy Agency
The IEA said "considerable uncertainty" remains about production in other oil-rich nations, particularly in Iran. Western sanctions against Tehran's nuclear program have significantly hampered Iran's output and exports of oil in recent years. If the U.S. and Europe finalize details of a tentative nuclear deal with Tehran this summer, Iran could sharply expand its production and further strain a market that's grappling with oversupply.
"Recent developments thus may call into question past expectations that supply-and-demand responses would tighten the market from mid-year on," the global agency said in its report. "Advances in talks on Tehran's nuclear program … may already have encouraged other producers to hike supply and stake out market share ahead of Iran's potential return. All in all, that suggests the market rebalancing may still be in its early stage."

Nagiso – Warm Colors of Wood and a Smoky Aroma
Tsumago Post Town
As we walked along past old stone steps, latticed doors, earthen walls, and wooden lanterns, it seemed like time must have stood still in this place. The post town has been preserved through the Protection of Cultural Properties Project, but you will still find people living in the town. You can even enjoy the hospitality of the residences that are open to lodgers or the Japanese style inns.
Photographs depicting what life was like for older generations and other items can be found around town. Since the valley is protected from strong winds, roofs that mimic traditional building styles are simple constructions that are just covered with stones.
Old miso-fermenting vessels
The climate is perfect for hanging fruit out to let it safely over-ripen.
Sign boards dictate the laws of the old days.
The post office interior maintains an air of bygone days, and old mail boxes, postcards, and other items are on display.
The Tsumagojuku Sightseeing Information Center, which was once a police station, offers a variety of information on the area and places to stay as well as pamphlets.
Wakihonjin Okuya & the Nagisomachi Museum
The building still contains old furniture, paintings, and dolls.
The Wakihonjin Okuya, with the traditional fire pit and gardens, has preserved the atmosphere of Japanese housing from the old days. Although it was built as additional housing for government officials, parts of it, such as the private lacquer toilet, have never been used.
The ideal time to view the sunlight streaming in above the fire pit is during the winter months. Warm your feet by the fire and watch the smoke dance in the sunbeams. The wooden walls have been kept free of decay and insects thanks to the soot that has been deposited over the years.
Exhibits in the neighbouring Nagisomachi Museum introduce the history of logging in the area and display wood-cutting tools and pieces of Kiso's Five Trees. Although the area once flourished thanks to logging and woodcrafts, a wood-cutting ban was introduced to save the dwindling forest resources. The punishment for any wood-cutting activities was summarized as "a head for a tree, an arm for a branch."
You'll find many souvenir shops selling locally made goods and tasty treats including gohei mochi. Mashed rice is flattened and moulded into an oval shape, stuck on a skewer, coated miso or another sauce, and then grilled. Nagano Prefecture is known for its buckwheat, and you can enjoy freshly steamed oyaki dumplings. A less common filling for oyaki dumplings is walnut and sweet bean paste, but I highly recommend it.
The Tateba Teahouse
Not far from the town, travellers can take a load off at a lodging facility turned teahouse. The structure was built out of hinoki cypress, which reveals that the building was constructed sometime before 1600, since the logging ban was in effect during the period after that. The building fell into disuse, but in 1994, the building was reopened as a rest stop for hikers. It is open from the beginning of March to the end of November.
We were treated to a cup of hot green tea and grilled mochi and shown guestbooks filled with the messages of previous visitors, many of whom had come from abroad.
A great time to walk along the trail is in May, when the giant weeping cherry tree out front is in bloom. You can purchase a traveller's staff and receive wood-branded seals at checkpoints and post towns along the way. This route still connects Tokyo with Kyoto, so come make the trip through the mountains!

Baber, or Babur (Arabic - tiger), the name by which the founder of the Mogul dynasty in India is best known. Born in 1483, he succeeded his father, Omar Sheikh, a descendant of Timur, in 1495, as sovereign of the district between Samarkand and the Indus. A rebellion drove him out of his kingdom, but in 1504 he collected a force, took Cabul, subjugated Kashgar and Kandahar, and thrice invaded India. At the great battle of Paniput (1526) he defeated and slew Ibrahim, Sultan of Delhi, and next became master of Agra. A year later he crushed Rana Sunga of Mewar, and all India fell virtually under his rule. He died in 1530, but his dynasty lasted for three centuries. His memoirs, written by himself, are extant.

Because then, the game has observed a surge is number of players by pretty a significant margin. All in all, if you are seeking to play a lore-rich game and do not thoughts paying month-to-month subscription costs for a game, you need to definitely get your hands on LOTRO.

They say that Runes of Magic is the closest game you are going to ever have to Planet of Warcraft. Wonderful but… My 7 & eight yr old daughters appreciate it.

I'll admit that when I got started, keyword research was always at the bottom of my to-do list. I almost never seemed to get to it on time.
That's obviously changed over the years, because to be a true super affiliate, you need some fantastic keyword lists.
time now to great effect.
However, that initial list is the same as brainstorming for a novel. Sure, you have a rough outline, but you still need to sit down and write the thing.
I like to get started in the Google Keyword Tool–it's free, easy to use and has a decent amount of data to draw from.
Like most free keyword tools, it's not 100% accurate and is based on PPC data. If you're working on an organic campaign, it's not going to be exactly what you're looking for, but it's a good start.
Google account, and enter a basic term or phrase into the search tool. You can enter multiple terms, but for now, just one will do.
These terms are all directly related to the term and give you more options for building your list. Look for the Global Monthly Search Volume to get an idea of how many searches this term gets each month.
want to know how many people are searching.
Forums are good because they represent a hub of data where users will search for solutions to particular problems.
These terms may not have popped up immediately because they are a bit too specific.
which terms are being used with Google AdWords.
You can get Traffic Travis here.
Okay, so now you have a good general idea of what keywords you'll be using. What about the actual terms you should be targeting?
* Author Names – If you're promoting info products on weight-loss products, you can find keywords related to the authors of those info products.
reviews or final justification before a purchase.
The search volume is lower, but you're getting leads that are much more likely to convert.
the prospect is ready to make a purchase.
These keywords have far fewer searches, but are worth 10-100 times more than a standard product-related keyword.
their search will be much more urgent.
Keywords then might include "cure blight," "kill pests on tomatoes," or "tomatoes won't grow." These are specific, immediate problems that they'll buy a product to solve.
* Product-Related Keywords – General keywords related to a product niche are still valuable, but can be a little more dangerous. You need to be more careful here in general.
Here you'll find things like "how to," "lessons," "online," etc.–terms that relate to getting advice, but with less urgency.
* Long-tails – Finally, if you're doing PPC or creating an authority site, using long-tail keywords can really boost your performance.
For example, someone might search for "fix golden retriever aggression" and someone else might search for "fix poodle aggression." Those are both specific long-tails and can be extended as much as is needed to get your traffic.
Keywords are the currency of any good affiliate marketer. You want traffic? You need to find the words people are searching for and become competitive for them.
Before you ever start marketing any of your new niche products, spend some time researching, building lists, and analyzing the keywords.
Using tools like Google and Traffic Travis, check to make sure there is volume, and always check your competitors to see what they're optimized for.
If you do it right, you should be able to create a huge list of potentially golden keywords.

Weld County is poised to see a record for oil production, which will likely pump an extra $8 million into county coffers to boost county services and improve infrastructure.
For 2017, production through November is sitting at more than 105 million barrels of oil. When December numbers are counted — which should happen next month — that could easily go up to 116 million barrels of oil produced out of the county, an all-time high. The previous record of 109 million barrels of oil was set in the height of the oil and gas downturn in 2015.
Bernadette Johnson, vice president of market intelligence at Drillinginfo Inc. in Denver, said she expects more records to come as oil prices cooperate.
Weld County also benefits. The bulk of the county's revenues come from property taxes, a pot to which oil and gas taxes contribute the most. Oil and gas production is taxed at 87.5 percent, which has driven down the mill levy 28 percent in the last 15 years, according to Don Warden, county finance director.
"That is unusual," Warden said. "Compared to other Colorado counties, most of them have either stayed at the same mill levy because of the TABOR limit, and some had elections and increased mill levies in that time." While the property tax formula relies on a variety of factors, residents can count on one important part of the formula: the lower the mill levy, the lower the taxes owed.
"Weld County is the only county, certainly the only major Front Range county, that's been able to drop the mill levy in the last 15 years, and it is attributable to oil and gas," Warden said.
Though that is good news on the financial front, the social impacts of oil and gas are putting strains on existing infrastructure and services, said Carl Erickson, chairman of Weld Air and Water, a group of residents who push for regulations on oil and gas development to keep residents safe. As oil and gas encroaches more on residential neighborhoods, more conflict will result, he said.
That conflict shows no signs of slowing down, as there continue to be more bills introduced in the Legislature to limit oil and gas drilling.
Regardless, 2017 oil and gas production likely will boost Weld's assessed valuation by 5 percent to 6 percent for the 2019 budget, Warden said. That would increase the county's assessed valuation up to around $9.7 billion and increase property tax revenues by another $8 million, Warden said. Property tax revenue make up $146 million of the county's 2018 budget.
The oil and gas industry just pulled out of a two-year downturn, but it didn't seem to hurt Weld all that much. In fact, the highest production of 109 million occurred at the height of the downturn in 2015, and companies are investing more all the time in their capital programs.
During the downturn, which started in 2014, oil fell to as low as $29 per barrel. This past week, it was up to $65 per barrel; still nowhere near the $100-plus per barrel the industry enjoyed just five years ago.
Weld's largest oil and gas operator, Anadarko Petroleum, for example, plans to spend $950 million, or 45 percent of its U.S. onshore capital budget this year in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, which essentially covers all of Weld County. The plan, according to the company's investor presentation in late November, is to operate five drilling rigs throughout the basin, as well. With that, the company expects to increase production by 30 percent, according to the presentation.
That dovetails with the national expectations. The U.S. Energy Information Administration this past week noted November oil production across the country exceeded 10 million barrels of oil per day, the highest recorded since 1970.
All expectations are for continued growth. In January, the EIA reported it expects 2018 oil production to average 10.3 million barrels of oil per day, up 10 percent from 2017. "If achieved, this would be the highest annual average U.S. oil production on record, surpassing the previous record of 9.6 million barrels per day set in 1970," the EIA reported. In 2019, the EIA expects production to reach an average of 10.8 million per day, though much of that growth will be attributable to growth in Texas and New Mexico production, the EIA reported.
For the time being, the oil and gas revenue helps the county stay current in its infrastructure. The county in the past couple years spent excess revenue to build up Weld County Road 49 to suit additional traffic. That project should be completed this year.
In the past five years, the county has been putting aside money to build an addition to the Weld County Jail. At present, the entire $45 million price tag is sitting in the bank.
"I think (some of) the additional resources will have to go to public safety for jail, but a lot will be invested in long-term capital, one-time expenses of county facilities," Warden said.
Warden and the commissioners have earmarked excess revenues for capital needs and its communications infrastructure, in addition to building the jail addition and staffing it.
The growth that oil booms bring to communities like Weld, however, will put added pressure on a community's resources, said Erickson, also a candidate for Weld County commissioner next fall. That's just one concern in an area with growing production and population. Having to put an addition to the county jail, for example, is a direct result of boom times, he said. The population swell, he said, puts pressure on streets, social services and emergency response.
As the area has grown, in many cases, residential subdivisions have been built around existing oil fields that companies have been able to re-invigorate due to technological advances. That's resulted in tighter setbacks and more emission controls in recent years, as residents worry about the harmful effects of drilling near their homes.
As a result, Weld Air and Water will continue to push the industry and state and local governments for tighter controls, Erickson said.
