You are currently looking at a Minnie Mouse Bow Cookie Cutter.
Please email us for cookie cutters made to order.
All cookie cutters are manufactured by a Premium 3d printer. They are manufactured from BPA FREE Plastic. These cookie cutters are dishwasher safe.
The cookie cutter is pink, but the color can be made to order.
The 3 inches size is shown in the picture. The other sizes are similar proportions.
All orders will be shipped via the US Post Office.
For the highest level of detail in the cookies, its highly important to keep the cookie batter thin. 1/4 inch is best, the thinner the cookie, it takes less time to spread and bake.Also, getting rid of the baking powder will significantly reduce the rise in the cookies and significantly reduce loss of detail and spreading. When mixing the sugar and butter in the beginning stages of the recipe called creaming, it is very important to not mix it for too long as overmixing will cause excess air to be incorporated.
When making use of the stamp, please make sure to utilize the stamp before the cookie cutter. This will make for the best detail in the cookie after baked.
A complete set of instructions and helpful tips comes with each order.
We design stamps and cutters because this allows you to change the thickness of the cookie the way you want, and gives you premium control of the stamper (Makes for exquisite detail in the final cookie).
If you would like us to design a custom cookie cutter, check out our Custom Cookie Cutter Design Service.

The… hang on — this isn't even the best track off the LP but another arty, melodramatic German episode which relies more on atmosphere and a brass "riff" which could blow a battleship out of the water at twenty paces rather than a tune, and will therefore have its usual struggle breaking into the Naughty Forty. Pity. Er, one more time…?

Ivabradine has been approved in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and elevated heart rate despite guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) to reduce cardiovascular (CV) death and hospitalization for worsening HF. The median value of 77 b.p.m. is the lower bound selected for the regulatory approval in Canada, South Africa, and Australia. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) including symptoms, quality of life, and global assessment are considered of major interest in the global plan of care of patients with HF. However, the specific impact of GDMT, and specifically ivabradine, on PRO remains poorly studied. In the subgroup of patients from the Systolic Heart failure treatment with the If inhibitor ivabradine Trial (SHIFT) who had heart rate above the median of 77 b.p.m. (pre-specified analysis) and for whom the potential for improvement was expected to be larger, we aimed (i) to evaluate the effects of ivabradine on PRO (symptoms, quality of life, and global assessment); (ii) to consolidate the effects of ivabradine on the primary composite endpoint of CV death and hospitalization for HF; and (iii) to reassess the effects of ivabradine on left ventricular (LV) remodelling.Comparisons were made according to therapy, and proportional hazards models (adjusted for baseline beta-blocker therapy) were used to estimate the association between ivabradine and various outcomes. In SHIFT, n = 3357 (51.6%) patients had a baseline heart rate > 77 b.p.m. After a median follow-up of 22.9 months (inter-quartile range 18-28 months), ivabradine on top of GDMT improved symptoms (28% vs. 23% improvement in New York Heart Association functional class, P = 0.0003), quality of life (5.3 vs. 2.2 improvement in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire overall summary score, P = 0.005), and global assessment [from both patient (improved in 72.3%) and physician (improved in 61.0%) perspectives] significantly more than did placebo (both P < 0.0001). Ivabradine induced a 25% reduction in the combined endpoint of CV death and hospitalization for HF (hazard ratio 0.75; P < 0.0001), which translates into a number of patients needed to be treated for 1 year of 17. Patients under ivabradine treatment demonstrated a significant reduction in LV dimensions when reassessed at 8 months (P < 0.05).In patients with chronic HFrEF, sinus rhythm, and a heart rate > 77 b.p.m. while on GDMT, the present analysis brings novel insights into the role of ivabradine in improving the management of HFrEF, particularly with regard to PRO (ISRCTN70429960).


text: Rating 95Drink Date 2022 - 2045Reviewed by Monica LarnerIssue Date 28th Jun 2019Source Issue 243 End of June 2019, The Wine AdvocateThis is also a new wine, coming from less than a hectare in the Prap vineyards, from which only five producers draw their fruit. Its a beautiful plot at about 1,000 feet in altitude and with a full southern exposure, producing some very meaty fruit with a high phenolic presence, as the color is darker and there is more perfume. The 2015 Barolo Prap is a distinctive vintage of a wine that is one to watch, for sure. The vineyard makes the difference, with brown and orange sandy soils, along with marlstone and veins of soils more typical of the area. The Scavino family bought this plot in 2008 and let the land rest for two years before they replanted. The goal, they said, was to steer away from more productive clones in favor of those that wouldnt take away too much from the quality. They took wood from the mothership vineyards in Bricco Ambrogio for this experiment, grafting them onto the rootstocks they carefully selected. The result is a soft and delicate Barolo with a lot of personality to go along with its firmness and power. This is an easy cru to recognize. Enrico Scavino said they could have waited longer for this experimental harvest, but they felt the time was right, explaining that "this work is all about feelings and instincts."

They're there - we just don't see them yet.
That seems to be the consensus of Realtors and others in the industry who say banks are still holding on to a massive supply of foreclosure properties.
The question is, when will they release those properties? And how many homes are we talking?
Some fear banks may unload too many at once, a move that would be good for cash-strapped buyers seeking bargains but bad for overall property values.
"A year ago, banks were processing foreclosures, but for some unknown reason, they are just sitting on them now," said Lynn Briggs,
a Realtor and sales manager with Coldwell Banker Tri-Counties in Diamond Bar.
"There's a whole shadow inventory out there ... and it's definitely there."
RealtyTrac, an online marketplace for foreclosure properties, released a report today
showing that foreclosure homes accounted for 24percent of all U.S. residential sales in the second quarter of 2010.
Moreover, the average sales price of properties that sold while in some stage of foreclosure was more than 26 percent below the average sales price of properties not in foreclosure.
California's numbers were far worse.
Foreclosure sales accounted for 43 percent of all sales in California during the second quarter, the third highest percentage among the states. That equated to 62,492 foreclosure properties that sold for an average of 39.3 percent less than non-foreclosure home sales.
California's second-quarter foreclosure total was up 3.84 percent from the first quarter, but down 32.86 percent from the same period a year earlier, RealtyTrac said.
James J. Saccacio, RealtyTrac's CEO, noted a positive trend.
"While foreclosure sales increased in the second quarter, non-foreclosure sales increased even more, spurred on by the homebuyer tax credit that expired during the quarter," Saccacio said in a statement.
"That had the net effect of lowering foreclosure sales as a percentage of total sales
during the quarter, but that may be a temporary dip as the removal of the tax credit could drive more buyers back to discounted short sales and REOs."
Darrell Done, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker's Lake Avenue office in Pasadena, said lenders would be unwise to release a glut of bank-owned properties onto the market.
"If you were Bank of America and you had homeowners in certain neighborhoods who were paying their mortgages on time while other mortgages were defaulting ... you wouldn't want to release those foreclosure properties," he said. "If you did, that would have an immediate effect on the values of the properties whose owners were making their payments."
Done said lenders would be better served by trying to keep struggling borrowers in their homes longer. That way, they could work with them and and help them resolve their financial problems.
"Notices of default are being reported, but the banking industry doesn't want to be the seller," he sa

Wray said the government was "deeply concerned about the risks of allowing any company or entity that is beholden to foreign governments that don't share our values to gain positions of power inside our telecommunications networks."
