Sweet Bellini here. Do you have a minute for me to tell you a story? I am a friendly older girl, about 12 I am told, but I really don't feel it. Everyone treats me really well here at the shelter, and I show my love with my purrs and rubbing up against you. I love soft beds, and will knead, then curl up and get comfy for a nap. Do you have a soft bed in a nice quiet home, maybe even near a window for me to look out? I would be furever grateful.

Did you know? While Super Bowl LI, which was played at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, on February 5, 2017, featured a thrilling come-frombehind victory by the New England Patriots over the Atlanta Falcons, the very first Super Bowl, played on January 15, 1967, provided no such intrigue. A 35-10 victory by the Green Bay Packers over the Kansas City Chiefs, the AFL-NFL World Championship Game (the game would only retroactively be known as “Super Bowl I”) was played at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles. The game was tightly played in the first half, with

Green Bay holding a 14-10 lead at halftime. But the Packers, coached by legendary head coach Vince Lombardi, pulled away in the third quarter, scoring two touchdowns, while ultimately holding the Chiefs scoreless in the second half. The game was played in front of slightly less than 62,000 people (roughly 33,000 seats went unsold), and estimates suggest as many as 75 million American viewers watched the game on television. Nielsen reported that more than 111 million Americans watched Super Bowl LI in 2017, and estimates suggest roughly 50 million more people watched the game across the globe. Television ads might

concerns. We have been at level funding from the state for several years as well as receiving budgetary cuts yet the cost of all our operating costs, such as heat, electricity and daily expenses keep rising.

The Center of Hope will be developing an on-line sales presence for its many small businesses, including its Hope Sweet Hope shop located in Sturbridge, Ma which makes fudge as well as sells chocolates and candy.

6 common tax filing mistakes to avoid
January 31, 2018
www.SmartShopperAd.com
Here's a closer look at some common tax-filing errors and tips to help you avoid making them.
It's probably safe to say handing cash to Uncle Sam does not top the list of your favorite things. When it comes to filing taxes, making a small mistake can mean delays in processing refunds, paying more taxes than you need to or forking over cash to cover penalties.
Mistake: Not reporting all income. Reporting your income is easy if your employer sends you a wage statement (called Form W-2) documenting what you made throughout the year. But what about the money you earned from any freelance work? Unfortunately, many people forget to report extra Fortunately, there's an easy way income from side jobs such as to make sure your tax return is photography shoots, design projects mistake-free: just take a little extra and Etsy shops. time to double check that you have all your paperwork. A professional How to avoid the error: Depending Tax Preparation Specialist can help on how much you earned, you in letting you know exactly what may receive an "information you will need to bring with you for return" called Form 1099 from the your personal situation. institution that paid you.

different types of income earned during the year, but in some cases you may not receive the document. For example, if you earn less than $600 as a freelance writer, the institution is not required to send you Form 1099-MISC. However, you still need to include the amount earned in your total annual income so it's important to keep your own records of each transaction.
return. "If you need help figuring out account information, don't be afraid to ask your bank for assistance," Jaeger says.
"To help accurately report your income, review last year's return and match your income sources item by item," says TaxAct Director of tax development, Mark Jaeger. "If you discover you haven't received a 1099 for your work, last year's return will serve as a reminder to ask about it. Keep in mind, all freelance or side-gig income is reported on Schedule C as part of your Form 1040."
How to avoid the error: Electronic filing (e-filing) is the quickest and most accurate way to file your tax return. In fact, the IRS typically processes e-filed returns within 48 hours. If you're due a refund, you'll get it quicker if you e-file and choose direct deposit. Your tax professional can help with this, to get you your refund as fast as possible
Mistake: Mistyping bank accounts and personal information. Believe it or not, incorrect bank account numbers or personal information like Social Security Numbers - is one of the main reasons tax returns are rejected. Using a nickname or a shortened version of your legal name also lands near the top of the list.
Mistake: Not e-filing. While 91 percent of tax returns were e-filed in 2016, there are still filers who file a paper return. Going the pencil and paper route often means longer tax return processing times.
Mistake: Incorrect calculations. When the IRS receives your tax return, one of the first steps the agency takes is to check the figures to make sure they add up. Unfortunately, it's easy to miscalculate numbers - especially if you're in a rush or aren't sure what to add or subtract.
How to avoid the error: First, take your time and double check all How to avoid the error: Double numbers. Second, consider using an - or triple - check any personal or experienced tax professional, who bank account information before will take any guesswork out of the you submit your completed tax equation.
www.SmartShopperAd.com
Mistake: Using the wrong filing status. Choosing the wrong filing status, like Head of Household instead of Single, can have a great impact on your tax rates, the number of personal exemptions you can claim, your qualifications for certain tax deductions, credits and more.
January 31, 2018
How to avoid the error: Before starting your return, review the five different filing statuses to help you select the one most appropriate for your tax situation. Carefully selecting the right one will help you feel confident you're taking the right steps to maximize your tax outcome.

What to bring to the Tax Preparer (NAPSI)—While a plate of cookies may be nice to bring a hostess, what your tax preparer would prefer (at least in the office) is that you bring in the proper paperwork. Here’s a list of the most likely paperwork to provide: What You’ll Need 1. Last year’s return, the last two years if this is your first appointment. Chances are much of the information—Social Security numbers, address and the like— will be the same, saving everybody time and reducing the risk of errors. 2. Your W-2. W-2s must be mailed to employees by January 31. They show your income and how much you’ve already paid in income taxes. If you’ve had more than one job this year, you need a W-2 form from each of them. 3. 1099s. If you’re a freelancer or part-time worker, you should have 1099 forms from everyone for whom you’ve worked this year. These forms are also used to report earned interest, cancellation of debt, dividends received and proceeds from broker transactions. 4. Receipts for donations. Keep the receipts for all charitable event sponsorships, money or food for holiday charities and any other
9
money donations. Keep a list of items and the values you assigned them along with the receipts for any household goods, toys and clothing donations. If you volunteer, keep a record of your mileage and other expenses. 5. 1098 forms. Homeowners can deduct mortgage interest. Also deductible are student loan interest and tuition paid to colleges and universities. 6. If you have a home office, you can deduct some of your rent, mortgage, utilities and so on. Bring any relevant receipts. 7. If you’ve been looking for work, bring receipts for whatever the search has cost you—transportation, paying to join a job search website, hiring a résumé writer or taking relevant courses. This list should get you started, but a tax expert such as an enrolled agent (EA) will let you know about any additional documentation needed to complete your return. Enrolled agents are the only federally licensed tax practitioners who specialize in tax matters and have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS.

According to Nielsen, 111.3 million Intercollegiate matches began people tuned in to watch the Super to spring up at schools such as Bowl in early 2017.

Walter Camp, known affectionately as the “Father of American Football,” transformed the rugbystyle game into the one that resembles American football today. Camp brought two key innovations to the game. The opening “scrummage” was eliminated, and a rule was introduced that required a team to give up the ball after failing to advance down the field a specific yardage. Camp also developed the quarterback position, lines of scrimmage and the scoring scale used in football today.

But American football is no longer relegated to the boundaries of the United States, as it is becoming a global sport. According to the International Federation of American Football, there are 80 countries with organized federations governing the game. Plus, thousands of youth and adult leagues exist all over the world. Even though soccer has long been a global sport, it seems the other kind of “football” is quickly catching up. The sport known as American football was borne out of the English sports of association football (soccer) and rugby. During the late 19th century, elite Northeastern colleges took up

Center of Hope's Employment Supports Program
Sauces for the Win: Why They're A Hit At A Party (NewsUSA) - It's that time of year again--the time when families and friends come together to celebrate with food and open arms. That's right, it's almost playoff season, with football, basketball, and hockey playoffs all just around the corner. With these highly anticipated games come the equally anticipated snacks--from chips and dip to wings and hot sauce. In fact, a lot can be said from people's usage of dips and sauces, and that usage has increased over the past year. According to a survey by the Association for Dressings & Sauces, the reasons for using dips and sauces more often include: making more or new foods that need them, using them on more foods or as a healthy option with healthy foods, and cooking or eating at home more. So satisfy your craving for the perfect mid-game snack and bring them to parties in new and creative ways.

“Every family has its problems. But even among the most troubled, the Plumb family stands out as spectacularly dysfunctional. Years of simmering tensions finally reach a breaking point on an unseasonably cold afternoon in New York City as Melody, Beatrice, and Jack Plumb gather to confront their charismatic and reckless older brother, Leo, freshly released from rehab. Months earlier, an inebriated Leo got behind the wheel of a car with a nineteen-year-old waitress as his passenger. The ensuing accident has endangered the Plumbs joint trust fund, “The Nest,” which they are months away from finally receiving.

The One-Eyed Judge is a fictional account of a complicated and emotional child pornography case. Set in western Massachusetts, the plot emerges through the eyes of the arresting police officer, the judge’s law clerks, the defense attorney, the prosecutor, the witnesses, and the defendant himself. Most importantly, the book presents the viewpoint of the judge on the bench, caught up in the cross currents of his personal life, and facing the nearly impossible task of giving both the defense and the prosecution an impartial and unbiased trial.

WINT E R 20 1 8 When Springfield federal Judge Michael Ponsor semi-retired after three decades on the bench, he started to enjoy two privileges of part-time work, selecting the cases he would oversee, and having more time for fiction writing. His first novel, The Hanging Judge, reached the New York Times bestseller list. The One-Eyed Judge features the same main character, Judge David Norcross, who Ponsor insists is only loosely based on himself. “Judge Norcross is far less experienced than I am,” Ponsor said in a recent interview. “In some ways, he’s a nicer, sort of more ingenuous person.” Sponsored by Friends of Jacob Edwards Library.

“From neuroscientist and bestselling author Lisa Genova comes a story of resilience in the face of a devastating diagnosis. After a car crash leaves a vibrant mother in her thirties with a traumatic brain disorder called “left neglect,” she learns what truly matters most in life. Sarah Nickerson, like any other working mom, is busy trying to have it all. One morning while racing to work and distracted by her cell phone, she looks away from the road for one second too long. In that blink of an eye, all the rapidly moving parts of her over-scheduled life come to a screeching halt. After a brain injury steals her awareness of everything on her left side, Sarah must retrain her mind to perceive the world as a whole. In so doing, she also learns how to pay attention to the people and parts of her life that matter most.”

JUST FOR FUN, BRAGGING RIGHTS - OR YOU CAN HAVE PRIZES DESIGNATED FOR EACH QUARTER FOR YOUR GUESTS!
Philadelphia Eagles
squares
New England Patriots
Step ONE
HOW TO PLAY
Start off with an empty 10 by 10 grid. This will give you 100 Squares for people to choose from. We’ve already assigned the Patriots to the columns and the Eagles to the rows.
Step Two
Now, start recruiting people to join your Football Squares pool by letting them choose which squares they want. Once all the squares have been filled, randomly assign numbers 0 through 9 to each column, followed by doing the same for each row. Now each square represents a specific score in the game based on the column and row numbers.
Step three
Your Football Squares grid is now complete, and you just need to wait til the game is played to determine who will be your winners. A winner will be determined at the end of the 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, and Final Game score. The winner is determined by looking at the last number in each teams' score, and then matching those numbers on the grid and seeing which square intersects those two numbers. An example would be if the New England Patriots are playing the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, and the score at halftime is Patriots 23, and Eagles 14. The last number for the Patriots is 3, and the last number for the Eagles is 4. The square on the grid that has the Patriots with a number of 3, and Eagles score of 4, would be the winner.
