Special Savings. How to remove? (Uninstall guide)
Special Savings is a program, which offers to get the latest information about coupons, promotions and deals. For that, users are offered to install its plug-in. However, many security researchers have started to include this app to the category of adwares because it can also get installed onto the system without any permission asked. For that, it relies on freeware and shareware. If you are one of these people who surprisingly discovered Special Savings program on their PCs, you should remove it. Otherwise, you won't be capable to get rid of its ads while browsing on the Internet because it easily affects all browsers that can be installed on the system, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. We must say that it's not connected with malware or spyware.
WHERE CAN I GET Special Savings FROM?
As we have said, Special Savings can be installed manually from its official site specialsavings.com. However, sometimes this application comes in a bundle with other programs, like freeware and shareware. Once inside, it modifies the system so that it could show Special Savings coupon ads when you visit commercial websites like Amazon or Walmart. Besides, it may redirect you to other sites without any permission asked. Even its license agreement claims:
When you download the software, and at times during your use of the browser Add-On, we transmit SpecialSavings cookies to the hard drive of your computer. These cookies enable SpecialSavings to track and store information about your web usage path and online shopping while suing the browser Add-On.
To sum up, you should remove Special Savings plug-in if you found it on your computer after installing some freeware.
HOW TO REMOVE Special Savings?
According to SpecialSavings.com, you can uninstall this add-on by following these steps:
Google Chrome:
Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar.
Select Tools -> Extensions -> find Special Savings, Yontoo or StatusWinks and click Uninstall.
Mozilla Firefox:
On the menu bar, click Tools -> Add-ons -> Manager tab -> Extensions.
Select Special Saving, Yontoo or StatusWinks to remove and click the Remove button.
Click Restart now if it pops up (your tabs will be saved and restored after the browser restart).
Internet Explorer:
Click Tools button -> Manage add-ons-> Downloaded controls. Click Special Savings, Yontoo and StatusWinks, and then click More information. Select Remove.
Finally, we recommend scanning your computer with updated anti-spyware, such as Reimage.

This is a repost from our CEO, Ben Berkowitz. You can find the original here.
The concept of dogfooding in product development implies that the product owner should also be a user of the product. SeeClickFix has always solved real world problems for me since day one so it has never been hard to dogfood our app. (Occasionally painful when I hit an unexpected bug or realize that our UX is awkward in a new release, but of course that's part of why you dog-food)
Last night I took a look at my own use of SeeClickFix through our new city client facing analytics platform Insight. Effectively dogfooding to look at dogfooding.
I'm not entirely sure what the value of looking at an individual user's behavior is for a city or an individual user but I thought I would share some of the graphs that I produced from my activity on SeeClickFix. (Note this is not my admin account but my everyday user account). If you'd like to see some graphs on your own SeeClickFix use email me and I'll take a look: ben at seeclickfix com. Below each graph I've shared some personal insights into the data.
You can see a spike in the beginning of my usage. I think this is typical behavior for a SeeClickFix user as there is usually a backlog of requests gathering in your mind just waiting for SCF. There also appears to be seasonal spikes in the early winter months and mid summer months. I definitely am guilty of reporting overgrown properties, illegal dumping and other types of blight that pop up in urban areas in the Summer. I'm also walking around more in the Summer. In the Winter its helping out my neighbors with shoveling and reporting storm damage.
Vandalism was the primary use of SeeClickFix for me in 2011 but the number of incidents to report have gone down dramatically in New Haven. You can see that pothole reports and the number of reports in general have gone up since I moved across town to Westville. I attribute my increased reporting to longer walks to work covering more of the city, fresh eyes on a neighborhood and more potholes from a very tough winter.
You can see that my reports in the downtown ward 7 where I work have stayed consistent. You can also tell that I have moved neighborhoods in 2014 and walk across more wards to get to work. I'll visualize my points of interest on a map in a future post.
The City of New Haven has gotten faster and faster at responding to mine and other citizens complaints with communication even as the number of requests increases. They have also gotten faster at closing requests.

A cannabis farm containing more than 1,000 plants has been shut down by police.
Officers from Dewsbury and Mirfield neighbourhood police team (NPT) carried out the raid on a building, on Church Street, Dewsbury at around 10.15am on Friday.
A police spokesman said a member of the public noticed the smell of cannabis and called the police.
They then forced entry to the building and seized the equipment.

When visiting our congregation, you will find a group of individuals from throughout the Anchorage area who are dedicated to doing the will of God as defined in His Word. Our services are based upon the New Testament example and are scriptural and uplifting. You will find sound gospel preaching, "a cappella" singing and the weekly observance of the Lord's Supper.
Our roots go back to the Day of Pentecost described in Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit came upon Peter and the other eleven apostles present, some 2,000 years ago, and the Lord Jesus Christ's church began. How Jesus Christ expected His church, or body of believers, to conduct themselves in their Christian walk, including their worship activities, is unambiguously described and recorded in the New Testament. Our only desire is to strive to live according to the standard the Lord's expectations represent.
A warm welcome awaits you at all services of the South Anchorage church of Christ. Whether you are simply visiting the Anchorage area, seeking a new church home or wanting to study God's Word, we encourage you to visit our congregation.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss the Bible with you or to assist you in your study of the Word.

How to Remove Hidden Privacy From iPhone
Have you ever noticed those invisible privacy data on your iPhone? Such info can be easily ignored but put your privacy at risk. No worries! This article will tell you how to remove hidden privacy data from iPhone.
PhoneClean – Your Best iPhone Cleaner
This is an ultimate iOS cleaning tool that gives promises of privacy security for iPhone, iPad. Why not get a free trial? Let it surprise you!
No one cares little about privacy just like you. But actually few of you are used to take necessary precautionary measure to prevent privacy info leaks from iPhone, especially those hidden privacy data which can be easily forgotten. As the popularity of the iPhone combined with the small form factor of the device make it a prime target for thieves, it becomes extremely important to wipe out your personal information before your device gets into the wrong hands.
- iOS 7 iPhone & iPad Privacy Location Settings
It's ironic that in iOS 7 the Privacy settings are hidden away where they're hard to find. If you've just upgraded your device with the new iOS 7, you'd better pay attention to the Privacy Location Settings on your device.
Location Services uses the iPhone or iPad's GPS along with crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspots and mobile phone mast locations to work out where you are at any given time. For the sake of your privacy security, you're highly recommended to reset the Privacy Location Settings which are so hidden away that you'd hardly know they're there:
Settings > General > Privacy > Location Services
- Geotags of Photos on iPhone
Did you know that the iPhone camera app stores the exact GPS location with each photo that you take? The storage of location based data, in the form of Latitude and Longitude in side of images is called Geotagging; essentially tagging your photograph with geographic location.
As Geotag metadata is invisible, not editable and is sent along with each photo you take and post to the web, which will totally compromise your location privacy.
Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Camera > Off
Now you've already successfully remove hidden privacy data from iPhone.
If you really want to protect your privacy from prying eyes, merely reset your device and removing geotag from photos is far from enough. No worry! You just need third-party software called PhoneClean, an ultimate iOS cleaning tool that gives promises of privacy security for your iPhone iPad. You are welcome to the Guide for how to protect privacy with PhoneClean here.

I want to get a six pack, but not sure how?!
Question: I want to get a six pack, but not sure how?
How old are you? Sit ups are probably the best although they aren't the easiest. And the important thing is to do true sit ups. Don't cheat yourself; make sure you are going all the way up and down each time. Also, it isn't a race! If anything, you want to take your time to give your muscles as much work as possible. With your abs, it's also important to make sure you are eating right. For many of us, fat goes to the stomach immediatly. Make sure you are eating right and good luck!
You want a six pack? Well go to the store and buy one... Also, while you're there, pick one up for me? Cheers bro!
Most guys already have a six pack but the fat on their stomach prevents it from being seen.

"Those who have the youth have the future." ~ Hans Schemm
An alert student at the University of South Carolina was stunned when reading the textbook for a course called "Introduction to Social Work Profession and Social Welfare."
Student Anna Chapman turned the textbook over to Turning Point USA, a group whose mission it is to educate "educates students about the importance of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and capitalism. Through non-partisan debate, dialogue, and discussion, Turning Point USA believes that every young person can be enlightened to true free market values."
Trending: Bernie Sanders Defends His Attendance At Rally Calling for Death Of Americans
The outrageous textbook was then passed on to Campus Reform, a watchdog group for higher education.

The mandated reading includes sections such as "Conservative Extremes in the 1980's and Early 1990's," which claims Reagan "ascribed to women primarily domestic functions' and failed to appoint many women to significant positions of power during his presidency."
The excerpts sent to Campus Reform make no mention of Reagan's appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor, the first female Supreme Court Justice; his appointment of the first female U.S. Representative to the United Nations, Jeane Kirkpatrick; Elizabeth Dole, the first female appointed to Secretary of the Department of Transportation; or that over 1,400 women were chosen by Reagan to fill powerful, policy-making positions.
Chapman also took issue with the way conservatives are discussed in the text.
"Conservatives 'tend to take a basically pessimistic view of human nature. People are conceived of as being, self-centered, lazy and incapable of true charity,'" the text states.
Wealthy individuals are also a topic of scorn throughout the course reading, which argues that "[the] wealthy find that having a social class of poor people is useful."
"First, poor people can do the 'dirty work' for rich people that the latter don't want to do," such as dangerous or menial jobs. "Second, having a poor social class emphasizes that the wealthy are higher in the social structure. . .and allows them to look down on classes below them." (source)
Some people are wondering what all of the fuss is about. After all, it's one textbook in one course on one campus.
The issue is that this is a biased influence on young people. Teaching revisionist history from an authoritative standpoint can strongly color the future. History tells us that by controlling the opinions of young people, society can be strongly influenced. Does the incident at USC sound anything like this?
Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany during the years of the Weimar republic. Hitler and the Nazis were able to rise to power as a result of their control over the German society. One of the main aspects of society that Hitler and the Nazi Party focused its efforts towards was that of the youth. Hitler was able to gain control of the impressionable youth by making changes in the educational system and by the formation of the Hitler Youth.
Edward Behrendt, once a member of the Hitler Youth stated "If you can capture the minds of young children and persuade them to become dedicated to your cause, your theory of the truth and your theory of what is right and wrong, then you can hold the whole country captive and you have complete control" (Behrendt 1).
Hitler knew that as soon as he was able to control the youth, he would also control the country. The control of the youth played a huge role in the Nazification of German Society. (source)
It used to be that seeking a university education allowed a person to improve themselves. Now it looks as though it's really more of an opportunity to go into lifelong debt and pay for the privilege of being brainwashed with a liberal agenda before searching in vain for a job that doesn't exist.Don't forget to Like Freedom Outpost on Facebook, Google Plus, & Twitter.

The Morris Canal in Roxbury Township, Morris County, New Jersey
|by Mottel
Balston, Website Editor
This selection of vintage photos will trace the route of the Morris Canal in Roxbury Township. It begins in the east as the Canal goes through Rockaway and Wharton and then into Roxbury in the Kenvil section, proceeding through Ledgewood, Shippenport, Landing & Port Morris. The Morris Canal was the "super-highway" of the early 1800's. It moved commodities across the hills of Northern New Jersey, particularly Coal from Pennsylvania and Timber from western New Jersey to industries and markets in the cities to the east. Beginning in the 1840's large amounts of New Jersey iron ore were shipped West on the Morris Canal to the anthracite iron furnaces of the Lehigh Valley and upper Bucks County. Up until then they moved at a snails pace in horse drawn wagons over poor roads. The canal allowed 30 tons of coal to make the journey from Philipsburg New Jersey, near the coalfields, to Newark, Jersey City or New York in just 5 days, an unheard of feat. Later, the Canal was widened and larger boats could carry 70 tons. The Morris Canal was completed in 1830, and little hamlets sprung up along it's route to service the crews and teams of mules that pulled the boats laden with goods, particularly where there was an inclined plane which pulled the boats up the hills. Those little hamlets became towns, and Roxbury had several including Ledgewood, Shippenport, Landing and Port Morris.
In this area of Ledgewood just west of the Theodore King Store, the Canal widened to accommodate a holding basin
for boats waiting to make the trip up the inclined plane just left of this photo. This circa 1908 photo also pictures
Main Street, Ledgewood along with the Trolley passing by the original Ledgewood Baptist Church building.
The Morris Canal in Ledgewood, New Jersey, circa 1907, looking west. The house at left is still
standing at it's original location, now called Canal St, Ledgewood.
Looking west toward Plane 2E. The photo below was taken from the top of the hill.
The water raceway and water turbine housing at Plane No. 2 East, Ledgewood, circa 1906.
By this time commercial Boat Traffic was sparse and animals like the one above could graze in peace.
This photo was taken on the other side of the same exact structure as the photo above.
This photo and several more on this page were produced in 1903 by the State of New Jersey
"Commission to Investigate and Report upon the Abandonment of Navigation of the Morris Canal"
|The bottom of Inclined Plane No. 1 East. A dirt Shippenport Road is seen at left with a horse-drawn cart slowly going uphill. The tow-path for mules & horses is at right. Today the water is gone and this flat area at the bottom of Shippenport Road is the location of a Commercial building. Notice the Mule Driver crew at right with the mule grabbing lunch on the run. The boat is in the Canal Inclined Plane "Cradle" and has just reached the bottom. On this circa 1906 Postcard, the sender writes in part: "It's real slow up here I would rather be in the city". Perhaps he was a seasonal worker at the nearby Explosives Factory or Ice Plant.
This 1903 photo shows the canal just past the top of Inclined Plane No. 1 East. Shippenport Road crossed over the Canal
using the bridge the Cameraman was on when this photo was taken, the bridge is shown in the 1887 Robertson Map.
This area is just south of the current location of the Roxbury No. 2 Fire & Rescue Squad Building.
This 1903 photo shows the canal just west of the Landing bridge. The original Landing - Lake Hopatcong.
Railway Station is seen at lower left along with the DL&W tracks. Two Hundred Yards further a boat could
veer right onto the "feeder" to go to Lake Hopatcong, or stay on the main canal to continue to Port Morris.
The water area is a paved parking lot today. ( . . . they paved paradise, put up a parking lot)
A busy scene, circa 1905. Boats wait to pick up passengers who would disembark from the Trains at the Landing station. The boats would then take them up a Canal a bit, then into the feeder canal and on to Lake Hopatcong. A train is coming eastbound from the Hackettstown area, and the siding at top left holds some sidelined Freight Cars
An early vintage 1891 photo shows an early Railway Station. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad would enlarge the station in subsequent years until it was replaced in 1910 by the new station made of stone (still standing) on the opposite side of the tracks and 50 yards east. The village of Landing is seen at right.
This bridge carried Lakeside Boulevard over the Canal feeder. Yep, just one lane! Compare that to the four lane bridge in the
same spot today! The Canal Lock is seen under the bridge, with Lake Hopatcong on the other side.
Hopatcong & Sussex County are on the left of the river, Landing & Morris County on the right. The dog's name is Hypo.
In 1885, a popular magazine presented this engraving of a 'Canal Family', who lived on their boat 3 seasons a year. They are being
passed by a well-dressed group on a day pleasure outing. Small children of boat families would often have ropes tied around their waists and
fastened to the boat's center, to prevent their going overboard, or providing a convenient rescue line if one did.
While this site is
an independent, humble effort by an individual citizen of Roxbury, we
greatly appreciate and highly commend the work of the dedicated volunteers of this Historical organization:

The Carbon Child and a Problem of Indeterminate Descriptors: From Color to Water
The carbon child gathers flowers, hoards colored fabrics, chases burrowing grubs and lives longer without food than water. Water means granaries of light, strong seed printing, good fishing described in erotic language of Viburnum Red, Light-On-Shimmering Yellow, Purple of the Deep Bruise. We observe that often water is undemanding and moves skyward, though some makes thin film around soil particles determined both by water's cohesive vision and by water's hesitation of water to water. If we desire to describe a surface of water that has ground soaked at summer shower, we haltingly suggest that it is an indeterminate darkening stain. The carbon child gropes for a means to define this particular dull stain, even while begging for the gaudiest of painted toys. Thus he is again cramped by the poverty of language to define surfaces of darkness and light, and we collectively suffer the insufficiency of our lexical and perceptual maps. We must encourage concrete and precise description of spectral conditions, an essential attribute for ethical conduct as citizen. Our inability to maintain accurate language concerning surface light on simple objects increases tenfold as we attempt to comprehend fluid systems over rich surfaces of time which decadent underground syntax, or ground-water-talking, perversely, though some say purposefully, obscures.

Anyway this is my first layout for one of their challenges. This project is for the 13arts challenge #14.
It's about using their sketch, at least one medium and the word "time" in your title. This is my interpretation:
I used white cardstock for the background and altered it with different glimmer mists, ink sprays, silver modeling paste and some perfect pearls powder. The mask I used is a fishnet mask by Jenny Bowlin, and matches perfectly with my underwater theme and all these teal and turquoise colors.
Behind the picture I glued some real fishnet down and the die cut looks like a coral :)
I stamped a compass and some watches on glossy stamping paper and dry embossed them with an embossing pen from the back.
I distressed all the edges of my scraps and crumpled them a little bit
This was the sketch I used:
Thank you for stopping by and have a great day! :)

A.3; Dmochowski, R.2Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery: March-April 2010 - Volume 16 - Issue 2 - p S26 doi: 10.1097/01.spv.0000370805.05101.3a SGS Abstracts Free Author InformationAuthors Article OutlineOutline Article MetricsMetrics 1Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vanderbilt Medical Center, Nashville, TN; 2Urology, Vanderbilt Medical Center, Nashville, TN; 3Biostatistics, Vanderbilt Medical Center, Nashville, TN DISCLOSURE OF RELEVANT FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIPS: None. OBJECTIVES: MATERIALS AND METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Back to Top | Article Outline OBJECTIVES: To assess the degree to which smoking, age, menopausal status, hormone replacement therapy, diabetes, body-mass index (BMI) and perioperative complications are associated with the risk of mesh erosion following transvaginal placement of polypropylene mesh for pelvic organ prolapse. Back to Top | Article Outline MATERIALS AND METHODS: A matched case-control study was performed. Women with transvaginally placed polypropylene mesh for the repair of pelvic organ prolapse between January 1, 2004 and May 31, 2009 were included. Cases were all women treated at our tertiary care center with mesh erosion requiring surgical revision. Controls did not develop mesh erosion and were matched for similar date and type of surgery (location and brand of mesh). Cases were identified by CPT codes 57295 and 57296, indicating a surgical mesh revision from a vaginal or abdominal approach. Controls were identified by CPT code 57267, indicating the vaginal placement of mesh. Charts were manually reviewed to assess for all inclusion criteria. Patient demographics, characteristics, comorbidities, perioperative variables, complications and erosion status were ascertained from the medical records. Complications were those recorded by the surgeon, including: bleeding, transfusion, cystotomy, rectal injury, hematoma, sciatic pain, and urinary retention. A conditional logistic regression was used to control for matching; adjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were obtained from this model. The model included smoking status, menopausal status, hormone replacement therapy, diabetes status, BMI and age. A restricted cubic spline was used for BMI and age to relax assumptions of linearity in these variables. Analysis was performed with STATA version 9. Back to Top | Article Outline RESULTS: Forty-eight cases were matched with 48 controls. The mean age for cases was 54.5 years and controls was 59.9 years. Parity, body mass index and menopausal status were similar between both groups (Mean parity 3; BMI 28.1 and 27.2, 38% and 40% menopausal, respectively). Results were inconclusive regarding the factors of interest and mesh erosion: The adjusted odds of developing mesh erosion were 3.4 fold higher among smokers than non-smokers (95% CI, 0.34 to 33.66), 2.3 fold higher among patients taking hormonal replacement therapy (95% CI, 0.57 to 9.19), and lower among those who were younger, (OR 0.96; 95% CI, 0.92 to 0.99), and those with diabetes (OR 0.46; 95% CI, 0.07 to 2.86). Mesh erosions tended to be more common among patients with perioperative complications, (OR, 6.04; 95% CI, 0.66 to 55.53). Complications among the cases included bleeding requiring transfusion (n = 1), cystotomy (n = 2), hematoma (n = 2), rectal perforation (n = 1), sciatic pain (n = 1) and urinary retention (n = 1). Only one control had a complication: postoperative urinary retention which resolved. Back to Top | Article Outline CONCLUSION: Our results were inconclusive regarding whether smoking, age, menopausal status, hormone replacement therapy, diabetes and body-mass index are risk factors for the development of mesh erosion. There was a trend toward mesh erosion being more common after surgeries with perioperative complications.Keywords:Mesh Excision; Polypropylene mesh; Vaginal Mesh Placement; Vaginal prolapse surgery; Mesh complications; Smoking © 2010 by Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

5 Ways How to Improve Your Sales
The ability to sell someone something - whether it's a product, a service, or an idea - is the fundamental skill at the core of many, many jobs in the business world (especially ones with commission-based pay). When it comes to closing a sale, it's not all about smooth-talking your buyer. It's just as important to be able to listen intently, think critically, and to intelligently apply effective sales techniques. By doing these things, not only will your personal sales increase - yourbusiness's will as well. See Step 1 below to get started.
- Satisfy your customer. Above all else, try to keep your customer happy and satisfied. Humans aren't perfectly logical creatures - if someone likes you, they're more likely to buy from you, regardless of the deal you're offering. Be friendly, charming, and open with your customer. Give her peace of mind. Whatever your customer is looking for, that's what you should try to provide.
- Listen. It's pretty difficult to satisfy a customer if you don't know what she wants - luckily, most of the time, all you'll have to do to figure this out is to simply listen. This isn't hard - at the beginning of your pitch, ask a customer what you can help with and let the customer describe her problem or desire. Once you know what she wants, you'll be able to decide which products, services, etc. best meet her needs.
- Give your full attention. When a customer is considering making a purchase, you want to give the impression that you're available to fulfill any needs or answer any questions that may arise. You don't want to give the impression that you're distracted or that you're attending to your customer as an afterthought. Whenever possible, interact with customers on a personal, one-to-one basis, returning to your other duties only when the job is done.
- Demonstrate your product/service's value. When it comes to convincing a reluctant customer to make a purchase, flowery, glowing praise for your product or service is only going to get you so far. To really get the customer on your side, show your customer how the thing you're selling will make their life better. Whether it will save them money and time, give them peace of mind, or simply make them feel good, make sure your customer understands exactly how the item you're selling benefits him in real, practicalterms.
- Know your field. Customers like buying from salespeople who seem knowledgeable without being condescending. Be a friendly resource for your customer. Ideally, not only should you know the products and/or services you're selling like the back of your hand, but also those of your competitors. If you know this information, you'll be able to make comparisons that cast your product or service in the best light possible and your competitors' in a less favorable light. You'll also be able to intuitively recommend certain products based on your customer's unique situation.

Ca2+-dependent cell–cell adhesion is regulated by the cadherin family of cell adhesion proteins. Cadherins form trans-interactions on opposing cell surfaces which result in weak cell–cell adhesion. Stronger cell–cell adhesion occurs by clustering of cadherins and through changes in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Although cadherins were thought to bind directly to the actin cytoskeleton through cytoplasmic proteins, termed α- and β-catenin, recent studies with purified proteins indicate that the interaction is not direct, and instead an allosteric switch in α-catenin may mediate actin cytoskeleton reorganization. Organization and function of the cadherin–catenin complex are additionally regulated by phosphorylation and endocytosis. Direct studies of cell–cell adhesion has revealed that the cadherin–catenin complex and the underlying actin cytoskeleton undergo a series of reorganizations that are controlled by the Rho GTPases, Rac1 and RhoA, that result in the expansion and completion of cell–cell adhesion. In the present article, in vitro protein assembly studies and live-cell studies of de novo cell–cell adhesion are discussed in the context of how the cadherin–catenin complex and the actin cytoskeleton regulate cell–cell adhesion.

Lifetime Gifts – Estate Tax NY – Nolfo McKenna Albany NY, Saratoga NY
I wish you all a holiday season filled with peace, joy and happiness. As we approach the end of the calendar year, most of us inevitably look back on what we have accomplished this year, and what remains undone. Here are a few items to consider;
1. Last Will and Testaments and Trusts– If you have a Last Will and Testament or a Trust, you should review the documents every few years. You may have bequeathed specific property that has since been sold or exchanged. You may wish to change your beneficiaries, or the amount or percentage given to each beneficiary. Someone in your family or a close friend named as an executor, successor executor, trustee or guardian may have passed on or relocated. There may be changes to you or your family's health, requiring amendments or additional documents to accommodate the changes.
2. Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy– The same questions would apply regarding individuals named to act as either your agent under a Power of Attorney or your health care agent under a Health Care Proxy. It is important you name someone who is able and willing to act for you, and preferably also name a successor in each document.
3. Lifetime Gifts– Gifting has become a preferred method of estate planning under the current federal estate and gift tax laws. Since lifetime taxable gifts are added back to New York estate tax returns at a lower rate than if the property was passed through a taxable estate, gifting can be an excellent planning tool for many individuals. In 2013 and 2014, the annual gift tax exclusion is $14,000.00. What that means to you is you may give away $14,000.00 to an individual (or several individuals) without filing a gift tax return and without any gift tax.
4. Estate Tax– New York State has an estate tax that applies to taxable estates of $1,000,000.00 and above. However, there may be a recommendation this year to increase our state estate tax exemption from one to three million dollars. This would benefit many of our state's middle class residents, as their estate would then be exempt from filing and paying a state and federal estate tax. The federal estate tax applies to estate with $5,250,000.00 to $5,340,000.00 for 2014. That is the amount an individual can give away in lifetime gifts

Well, we're not in the military here, but IMO the term AWOL is fitting insofar as you can grant your own leave rather easily by notifying the rest of us about it. Not doing so could be considered a "breach of duty", if you bear in mind that duty here is something different than duty in uniform. I don't really care about what term we use to designate non-responsive maintainers, but it should be "harsh" enough so that people are aware of the consequences of it.

SAINT JOHN – An award-winning Neapolitan pizzeria based in Rothesay will be expanding its quick-service woodfire model into the Saint John market this spring.
Pomodori Pizzeria has announced that it will be opening a second location at 34 Canterbury Street in Uptown Saint John. It will be located next door to Picaroons in the complex owned by Historica Developments in the space previously occupied by Locavore Cafe, which closed in December.
The Rothesay Pomodori opened in 2008, and co-owner Janice MacPherson says they always planned to open the second one. Over the last five years, she and business partner Keith Dunphy had been on the hunt for the right location. When 34 Canterbury Street opened up, MacPherson says they knew they found the right place.
"I'm impressed with what's been happening in the last few years uptown," says MacPherson. "For uptown and for 34 Canterbury Street specifically, I'm really impressed and appreciate how Historica has transformed some of these beautiful buildings that were not in great shape. In our case, the space we're going into is actually an old car park and you'd never know it."
The new Pomodori location will be open seven days a week and will look similar to the Rothesay location in design, but they are also looking to add some new things to take advantage of the location's unique features.
"We're looking at a couple of additions, just because it's a different space and we have Picaroons just next door where we share an indoor doorway, which is cool," says MacPherson. "We're just trying to
find ways to actually improve on the technology itself. We come from a tech background, so we're looking at what's the latest greatest technology we can use for our customers to make it easier for them to communicate with us and order from us."
Pomodori specializes in fresh, quick-service Neapolitan pizza.
"I call us 'slow food, served fast.' There are a lot of fast food options and there are a lot of full-service dining options. We're kind of in the middle. You actually go up to a counter … you place your order, the pizzas get made and they get served out to you," says MacPherson.
"We believe that woodfire pizza is the original fast food. There's no reason that you'd have to come in and sit down and stay an hour and a half in order to have your meal, because we cook it at 800 degrees in 90 seconds. Customers can have the convenience and get something really good, healthy and tasty compared to other fast-food options."
She says Pomodori will offer a dining option that's limited in Uptown Saint John.
"There's a really great dining scene that's happening uptown right now. But I don't think there is anything like Pomodori," says MacPherson. "I think we meet that middle ground. Really great food, but hopefully in and out much quicker than you would be in a formal dining environment."
The new Pomodori location is slated to open this spring, hopefully by the end of March says MacPherson. In the meantime, the business is currently looking to hire staff for the new location.

Question: What is a customer's number one fear?
Answer: Customers most fear being betrayed in the trusted reliance that someone will not take unfair advantage of their vulnerabilities. Customers know they are very vulnerable and have little control over the many negative things that a contractor can inflict upon them. They have a great need to trust that the contractor will safeguard them from disappointment, embarrassment and criticism from their peers and supervisors.
Point: Trust is like thin glass…handle with care.

Hmm… this one's interesting. I *think* I understand what the visuals mean but I'm not sure whether I have a good sense of what to do about them. Since the main thing any stimulus seems to communicate is "you are fucked" it seems hard to formulate a strategy based on what the game tells you. After a bit I got kinda a sense of how to move but I wasn't sure if I was doing appreciably better than either random play or a "dash for the exit" AI.
I really, REALLY liked the music in this.
I had no idea what to make of the rules until I noticed the 'brog' caption. After playing that, some of the underlying principles became clearer, but I still can't figure out the crab movements in relation to me or the 'highlighters'. I haven't played all of your games, but this is the most difficult to figure out of the ones I know.
Aha! after messing around with trying to stay in the trails of "sand" you will realize they are supposed to *spoiler alert* signal that there was a crab somewhere in the highlighted area. You only see the actual crab when he is right next to you.
@ Jack. I kinda figured that, but I couldn't figure out how to use that to actually avoid losing HP.
So I found a method that allowed me to make it to level 7; any move you make when you are in a sandy area could be fatal, so unless you feel probability is on your side or have an idea where your assailant might be based on the location of previous crabs you have encountered your best bet is NOT to move and let them come to you. This means that you want to hug the walls so you can run into them instead of walking forward. This is especially useful when avoiding the big crabs since they often follow you.
This will get you to at least level 4 every time, however because you don't always spawn next to a wall you may run into a crab right away, or you may hit a small crab who was in a position diagonally that you could not have predicted. The only better method I could think of was creating a grid program mimicking this one that generates crab location probability based on where you last saw them.
The odds would be a little bit more fair if the player always spawned next to a brick, as I found my main two sources of death to be running into a big crab on spawn, and running smack into a big crab while trying to escape another big crab. This game was fun to try and figure out and I got invested in keeping the player alive whenever I could get past level 5. Also loved how you did the music.
Urg, Ugh, Crab Battle! Fun stuff, I really enjoyed the music.
Minesweeper! :^)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- With negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis intended to move the peace process forward reaching a dead end -- at least momentarily -- the Palestinian prime minister warned Sunday night that time is running out.
Addressing the third annual gala of the American Task Force on Palestine in Washington, Salam Fayad said the situation had reached "critical mass of positive change," but he warned that unless progress was made in the quest for a two-state solution, he said quoting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, "the day would come when the two-state solution collapses and we face a South Africa-type struggle for equal voting rights."
For Israel, a one-state solution with Palestinians asking to be incorporated into Israel represents a far graver danger to its internal security that an independent Palestinian state next door. Incorporating the Palestinians into the state of Israel would mean that Jews would no longer be the majority in the country, defeating the very raison d'etre of the Jewish state.
'We are at a crossroad," said the Palestinian prime minister. A crossroad that could either lead to what ATFP President Ziad Asali called "a bumpy road to peace," or down a perilous path.
Indeed, unless the next administration gives serious consideration to re-launching the Middle East peace talks, the situation in the occupied territories could degenerate into another round of violence.
There has been talk among certain Palestinian circles of igniting a third intifada, or uprising, despite the setbacks and hardships that come with such actions and the reluctance of both President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Fayad to go down that road.
The Palestinians, however, remain divided over the usefulness of a civilian disobedience campaign as two previous attempts -- one mostly peaceful (1987-1992), the other violent (2000) -- have failed to move their demands for an end to Israeli occupation and the establishment of a Palestinian state. Additionally, there are deep divisions among the Palestinians who favor another intifada and those opposed to the idea; and those calling for a new uprising are further divided between those in favor of a peaceful campaign and groups advocating the use of violence. Each camp claims that the opposing side's tactics have failed to produce results.
Peter Ackerman and Berel Rodal, respectively chair and vice chair of the International Center for Nonviolent Conflict in Washington, have traced an excellent history of non-violent civil disobedience in modern times, with one very intriguing exception. They seem to have completely forgotten the Palestinian intifadas.
In an otherwise excellent article in the July issue of Survival: Global Politics and Strategy, published by the International Institute for Strategic Studies and titled "The Strategic Dimensions of Civil Disobedience," the authors identify the first modern record of civil disobedience as having taken place in Russia in 1904. According to Ackerman and Rodal, the Russian "intifada" began when a priest named Georgii Gapon talked 150,000 workers into taking to the streets of St. Petersburg. This was, write Ackerman and Rodal, "the century's first public challenge of autocratic power."
Gapon's actions eventually led to the first nationally elected Parliament in Russia.
They then leap forward to post-WWI when French and Belgian troops went into the Ruhr to extract German resources as reparations for the war and were met by miners and railway workers who confronted them with peaceful disobedience. After pressure from Britain and the United States, the French and Belgians withdrew.
Moving forward in time they remind us of the peaceful campaign led by an Indian lawyer who returned to his country from South Africa to demand Britain's withdrawal. Mohandas Gandhi's campaign began with a refusal to pay taxes on salt and to purchase cloth and liquor from British monopolies. The movement, as we now know, gradually expanded to force the British out of India.
As the authors point out, civil disobedience yielded positive results even against the most ruthless dictators and armies of occupation: Nazi Germany. During the Nazi occupation of Denmark the refusal by Danish citizens to help the Nazis led to the end of curfews and lifting of blockades.
The list is indeed extensive: In 1944 students in San Salvador, along with merchants and doctors, forced the departure of the country's military dictator through the use of peaceful means.
In the United States the peaceful campaign for equal rights by Martin Luther King Jr. led to desegregation.
In Poland Lech Walesa's Solidarity movement born in a Gdansk shipyard eventually led to the downfall of communism in Poland and later in the rest of Eastern Europe. The consequences of the movement had enormous repercussions as it brought down the Berlin Wall and with it the collapse of the mighty Soviet empire.
In Argentina, the Philippines, Chile, Serbia and Prague, peaceful movements led to the downfall of dictators, military juntas and communist regimes.
The authors also mention South Africa's pacifists as being instrumental -- along with international sanctions -- in the removal of apartheid in austral Africa. However, while not totally incorrect, the authors omit any mention of the extremely violent campaign carried out by the African National Congress and other groups, not only directed against white domination of the country, but just as violent if not more so was the intra-black violence that claimed tens of thousands of lives.
More recently there was Georgia's Rose Revolution, Ukraine's Orange Revolution and Lebanon's Cedar Revolution that forced the Syrians out after 29 years of occupation.
Less fortunate was the popular uprising in Burma a few months back led by Buddhist monks and brutally crushed by the military.
The history of non-violent resistance to authoritarianism is bittersweet, and the results are mixed between success and brutal reprisals. The successes in civil disobedience campaigns are of course encouraging. But the failures, as we have seen in Burma, Syria, Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Sudan were horrendous.
Fayad, who advocates a peaceful solution, Sunday night called for more than just peace.
"We don't just seek peace. We seek a meaningful and lasting peace with Israel. We seek strong ties with Israel. We seek strong economic ties between the independent states of Israel and Palestine. We seek warm relations with Israel. We do not want to get to the point where we just accept each other," said the Palestinian prime minister, a Texas-educated economist.
"Palestinians want to live in freedom, like any other people, because in freedom there is dignity, as there is in freedom from fear," said Fayad.

By now, everyone in the blog world is madly in love with Gray Malin; but that isn't stopping me from sharing my lust.
I love hearing his behind-thesceans descriptions of his photographic escapades.
His most well known shoot; Prada Marfa.
Marfa, a famous arts town located in West Texas, is home to many intriguing artistic endeavors; most notably a Prada store art installation. Filled with a 2005 collection of Prada purses and shoes, the store is sealed shut and sits freestanding on the side of the open highway. Using mules, cowboys, models and my imagination I was able to bring this unique series to life.
Two CowboysLegs Black & White (I would love this over my sofa! Also a fan of how Erika styled it.)Cowboy and Mule
His most recent adventure; Antarctica.
Journeying by boat from South America, I was drawn to the natural landscape of the glacier covered continent as well as the formations of the freely floating icebergs. Using select items to provide contrast, this series captures two parallel worlds coming together and presents a larger message about the changing landscape of our world due to shifting climates.
The greatest challenge in creating this body of work was the unpredictable weather and erratic shifting ice. I witnessed million-year-old glaciers the size of skyscrapers break off the glacial shelves and disintegrate into the ocean. This series changed my perspective of our world and I hope its beauty will influence others for generations to come.Swan Ice BridgeGreen TubeTwo FlamingosRainbow Umbrella White
One of my favorite collection, Far Far Away.
Gray Malin shot this series in the largest salt flat in the world, Salar de Uyuni, which expands nearly 5,000 square miles and sits at 12,000 feet in elevation. Here the color temperature reaches an intense 7,000 kelvins, making all objects appear brighter than the eye normally sees. Each image is presented in its raw form, with no editing except for the removal of the ropes used to corral the sheep and llamas. This body of work is left up to the viewer to interpret; for Malin it's all about capturing the whimsical happiness of a place unknown.Llamas Black & White Balloons (Probably my all time favorite shot of his, I just love it!)LightsWhite Table & Chairs
Top Hats 1 (Great for a Men's clothing boutique!)Balls 4
Another favorite series of mine, La Dolce Vita. It brings back memories from when I visited Cinque Terra.
Documenting many of Italy's most famous beaches on a 2,000 mile road trip, this series was inspired by the glamorous Italian Riviera lifestyle that mesmerized the world during the 1950s and '60s. Focusing on the retro-vintage beach umbrellas that seem to have stood still in time, this series is meant to evoke the classic nostalgic opulence of what the Italian Riviera once represented.Monterosso, Cinque TerrePraiano
Cinque Terre Vertical (Oh how I wish I was still there…)
And an older series, A Timeless Pursuit.
Discovering a vintage Oscar de la Renta dress that had not seen the light of day in decades, I instantly had a vision. Using the model and the dress as my muse, I took to the streets of Los Angeles, New York City, and Paris and began to create a timeless story of a woman whose face you never see. This series is now a book and was photographed from 2008–2011.
Eiffel Tower-Walking with Balloons
This ended up being a long-winded post, but I had a difficult time editing down images to share-I love them all! Search his site Maison Gray and do yourself a favor and follow him on Instagram. His feed leaves me wunderlusting and you will too.

5. Ales Hemsky is healthy. Without Hemsky the Oilers offense
turns to mush. Dustin Penner is the only Oiler who can score consistantly without Hemmer. Hemsky, after scoring 22 points in 22 games last year, went down with a season ending shoulder injury. He is the puppeteer of their powerplay. He organizes their rushes, keeps the game at his pace, and not to mention is a very smart hockey player. Continue reading

Replicas of the World Cup trophy are produced at Wagon International Co, an authorized manufacturer of the World Cup-related products based in Dongguan, Guangdong province. [Photo by Qiu Quanlin/China Daily]
Manufacturing replicas of the World Cup trophy and other related products has helped upgrade the business of Wagon International Co, a company based in Wanjiang town in Dongguan, Guangdong province, a traditional manufacturing hub in the Pearl River Delta region.
The company has been an authorized manufacturer of related products for the world's largest and most prestigious soccer event three times.
"It has also helped greatly boost the presence of Dongguan-made products in the world," said Jian Kaiping, a senior sales manager of Wag-on International.
From a small trading company to a manufacturer authorized by FIFA to produce replicas of the World Cup trophy and other related products including badges, key rings, lighters and mobile phone shells, Wagon International's business has spread to more than 100 countries and regions.
"The authorized business has not only helped boost sales, but also upgrade technologies, designs and brands," Jian said.
For the 2010 South Africa World Cup, Wagon International's products could only be sold in China and South Africa. Four years later, it was authorized to sell its products in 21 countries and regions.
"All products are made using automatic production. We have already upgraded the manufacturing lines to increase production efficiency," Jian said.
FIFA has strict regulations for the design and production of World Cup products, according to Jian. "We had to upgrade our design and increase innovative technologies to meet FIFA's requirements," Jian said.
For example, Zabivaka, the mascot of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, was incorporated into the replica of the trophy for the first time.
According to Jian, the company's sales of World Cup-related products will reach 200 million yuan ($31.2 million) this year, accounting for about 10 percent of the company's sales.
"It might seem odd to associate China with the World Cup, given that the country only qualified once 16 years ago. But China-made products will be widely available during the important event," Jian said.
In Dongguan, a growing number of companies have been involved in making products for the event. Dongguan Shuoke Plastics and Hardware Co, for example, was authorized to produce the official ball, Telstar, under the Adidas brand.
"We have built the world's first automatic production line in the soccer ball manufacturing industry," said Wang Chong, a senior operations director of Dongguan Shuoke.
The company, located in Chashan township in Dongguan, started to integrate its business and focus on manufacturing soccer balls in 2014. Its products have been exported to Europe, the United States and the Middle East.
Additionally, Chinese mobile phone maker Vivo Mobile Communication Co, headquartered in Dongguan, has become an official sponsor of the 2018 World Cup.
"We will sell our products in Taiwan, Singapore and Russia in the near future," said Xu Yanchun, corporate public relations director of Vivo.
Its association with the world's largest soccer event will help diversify Vivo's sales in the overseas market and boost its brand presence globally, Xu said.

Divvyus: Task Delegation Made Easy
Looking for an easy way to divvy up a project? Check out Divvy Us, a clever Web tool for delegating tasks.
All you do is name your project, then enter each task on a different line. Divvy Us gives you two URLs: one to share with team members, one for you to administer the "Divvy."
Anyone who gets the public link can claim a task just by clicking the corresponding button and entering their name. No one has to sign up for anything, nor even supply an e-mail address. It's quick, easy, and efficient. I love it.
Obviously this won't work for every team and project, but it might be just the ticket if you need, say, volunteers for a company event, or you want to see which employees show the most initiative.
Divvy Us reminds me a lot of Which Date Works, the Web service that helps groups pinpoint an acceptable date for meetings and the like. I highly recommend bookmarking both.

NIBIB launches Want to Be a Bioengineer? game app
|(Nanowerk News) How do you keep an artificial limb attached to the body? What lab-grown organ have scientists successfully transplanted into patients? You can find the answer to these questions and many more while playing Want to Be a Bioengineer? a game for middle and high school students, designed by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), part of the National Institutes of Health.
The game introduces students to real-life examples of how bioengineers are improving peoples lives, from helping paralyzed individuals stand, to re-growing fingertips, to finding new ways to see inside the body. During the game, students answer a series of multiple choice questions pertaining to subjects in rehabilitation engineering, regenerative medicine, and biomedical imaging. At the end, a score is generated based on how many questions are answered correctly.
It is truly an exciting time to be entering the field of bioengineering. Yet, students dont often know what it means to be a bioengineer, said NIBIB Director Roderic Pettigrew, Ph.D., M.D. The bioengineers we support are building bioartifical kidneys, growing functional cartilage, and developing implantable sensors that can detect real-time changes in biochemistry. They are coming up with ways to make tumors glow, supercool organs so that they can stay outside the body longer for transplantation, and store vaccines so they dont require refrigeration. They are making biomedical technologies better, faster, cheaper, and smaller and, in doing so, are profoundly changing health care in the U.S. and around the world.
|This game is a fun and easy way to introduce a younger generation to the exciting possibilities of bioengineering. It plants the seed that if youre interested in science and technology, enjoy being creative, and have a desire to help people, you might consider becoming a bioengineer, said Pettigrew.
|The game can be played on the NIBIB website at http://www.nibib.nih.gov/science-education or downloaded for free to your phone or tablet from the iTunes App store.

The 57th annual Grammy Awards didn't disappoint with, err, adventurous fashion ensembles — but it was also ripe with wedding-appropriate attire to inspire anything from beachy to modern fêtes. For those who missed E! Network's red carpet highlights, from Danielle Haim in a structured Stella McCartney pantsuit to Chrissy Teigen in sexy, slim-fit Gucci sheath and Rihanna in volume-defying pink Giambattista Valli ball gown, here's a recap of the most bridal looks from the Grammy red carpet.
Rihanna in Giambattista Valli
Dye her Giambattista Valli ball gown blush, and Rihanna's got a look that features the most popular bridal trends: pink, strapless and tulle. Plus, her high-bun takes the look to uber-chic, ballet-inspired levels that any bride with a romantic bone in her body would love.

Beyoncé in Roberto Cavalli Atelier
Queen Bey looked like an absolute goddess in her shimmering performance gown with its deep V-neck and twinkling embellishments. The icing on this angelic look, though, was its accompanying sheer cape — a major bridal trend at the moment!

Katy Perry in Zuhair Murad
"I just want to shine like a diamond," the singer told red carpet host Ryan Seacrest. And in a Zuhair Murad long-sleeved gown dripping in crystals, she did. For brides who can't picture themselves in a floor-length formal gown, this knee-length look is still super-glam and gorgeous for your reception.

Kim Kardashian in Jean Paul Gaultier
Kardashian showed off her gorgeous figure in a plunging, gold and glittering Jean Paul Gaultier gown that cinched at the waist. The gown's long cuffs, shoulders and lining popped with intricate crystal beading — something a daring bride could pull off at her rehearsal dinner or even her reception!
Photo: Getty Images
Jennifer Hudson in Tom Ford
Hudson looked sleek and chic in a strapless, knee-length little white dress by Tom Ford. "What more can I say?" she asked Seacrest of the simple-but-classic look, and we couldn't agree more. In fact, we see the dress as the perfect look for a bride at her modern rehearsal dinner!
Photo: Getty Images
Chrissy Teigen in Gucci
The supermodel, beside husband John Legend, looked stunning in white Gucci gown with cutouts that snaked across her stomach and down her legs. A brave bride could take the look onto her reception dance floor, or wear a similar look to a black-tie rehearsal dinner.

Danielle Haim in Stella McCartney
The American pop rock band star — nominated with her sisters Este and Alana for Best New Star — looked as ready to attend a rehearsal dinner as she did to walk the red carpet in a head-to-toe ivory pant suit with strong shoulders and sheer button-down shirt. Keeping the look classically cool, the singer donned nude pumps and otherwise went accessory-free.

Ariana Grande in Versace
The singer-songwriter, nominated for her first-ever Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album for My Everything, stunned in a Versace sheath that featured a swath of shimmering silver fabric over a toga-inspired white dress — the perfect look for a beachside bride who dreams of something that will shine in the setting sun, no?

Falco peregrinus
The Peregrine Falcon is one of the smaller raptor species on the Oregon Coast. This striking bird is approximately the same size as an American Crow with a dark gray back, a tawny colored belly separated by white lines, and a yellow beak and talons. Falcons reach sexual maturity at approximately one year old. Like other raptors that prey on birds, the Peregrine is sexually dimorphic. This means that females are considerably larger than males – probably an adaptation that aids in hunting and rearing of young. The bird's keen eyesight allows it to spot potential prey from a great height. The falcon will often drift on the ocean breezes far above populations of sea and shore birds. When it spots a meal, the falcon will launch into a steep dive (known as a "stoop") and snatch the other bird out of the air. The falcon's speed during these dives has been clocked in excess of 200 mph (322 kph), making it the fastest animal species on earth.
The Peregrine is one of the most widespread bird species on the planet. It can be found on every major landform with the exception of New Zealand and Antarctica, surviving just as handily in a tropical forest as it does in arctic tundra. Along the Oregon coastline, falcons can be commonly seen over the headlands and mud-flats frequented by other bird species.
Common. During the middle part of the twentieth century, many American populations of Peregrine Falcons were list as endangered due to problems with contamination by the pesticide DDT. After DDT was banned in the 1970s, however, these populations steadily recovered and today maintain healthy numbers.

GoFundMe launches to support Alonsa tornado victims
A GoFundMe campaign has been started, hoping to raise $50,000 to help aid residents affected by a twister in the Rural Municipality of Alonsa.
Jillian Brothwell of Winnipeg launched the "Help Rebuild Alonsa, MB-EF4 Tornado" on Thursday morning.
A destructive EF4 tornado ripped through the rural municipality near Lake Manitoba last Friday, claiming the life of 77-year-old Jack Furrie.

Cleanup efforts have begun, but Reeve Stan Asham told Global News that they need more help — particularly in pulling things like trucks, campers and hydro poles out of the lake.
"There's garbage in that lake. There's trucks, there's campers, there's hydro poles, there's large round bales. We need help there. We sure need help," Asham said.

Money raised will go towards financial assistance to permanent residents, property owners, campers and cottage owners for recovery, cleanup, rapier and replacement costs not covered by insurance or other forms of government assistance.
Funds will also go towards lake restoration.

Who doesn't love spritz? What a basic and delicious cookie. Just the right size to pop into your mouth. Sometimes I change the flavor and make them lemon or almond. Sometimes I leave off the colored sugar and drizzle melted chocolate on top instead. Sometimes I take 2 baked spritz and sandwich them with a filling, such as buttercream or chocolate ganache. These are a great cookie to pack into a nice holiday tin and give as a gift. They travel well, they stay crispy and they are just plain wonderful. My boys (ages 9, 5 & 4) insisted on helping me make these cookies. Well, for those of you who have young ones around the house, I'm sure you know that their "helping" is not really helping, ya know? Everything takes about 10 times as long when they are involved but I do try and be patient and realize that they are learning and having fun. One of their favorite tasks is sprinkling the red & green sanding sugar on the cookies. According to them, MORE sugar is the way to go. I swear to god that some of the cookies had like 1/4 cup sugar covering them! You could barely see the cookie dough underneath the mound of sugar! They thought those were the prettiest. Isn't it fun?!!
I realize there are many many different spritz recipes out there but this is my favorite. Give it a try!
Vanilla Spritz
2 cups unsalted butter, room temp.
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
5 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups flour
Combine butter & sugars and mix until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla and salt. Gradually add the flour.
Pack dough into cookie press and press onto ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with colored sugar if desired. Bake until edges are brown - about 10 minutes.
