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.

1. Claim your territory: The early bird gets the worm, so be sure to research potential tailgating spots early, then set up camp as soon as possible on game day. Don’t forget to consider things like shade and flat ground space. Whatever the weather, bring a pop-up tent or canopy for some cover. 2. Fire up the grill: One thing rival fans agree on is the importance of a good burger. The grill is the center of the tailgate, so make sure you’re equipped with one that’s easy to take on the road and set up quickly. Rule the parking lot with the Coleman RoadTrip X-cursion
4. Libation station: If you plan to crack open a cold beverage with friends, you need a strong, reliable cooler to keep your guests hydrated and happy. The retro designed Coleman 54 Quart Steel Belted Cooler holds up to 85 cans with an ice retention rate of four days, allowing your tailgate to continue well after the game ends. 5. Relax and enjoy: Most importantly, have fun. Regardless of whether your team wins or loses, enjoy spending the time outdoors, making memories with family and friends.

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.

February 15th Folk Music Concert with Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards OXFORD - Join the Oxford Free Public Library on Thursday, February 15 from 6pm to 7:45pm for a night of folk music at OXPL followed by a short reception with the musicians themselves! Mark Mandeville and Raianne Richards are clearly inheritors of a timeless legacy, creating music that is both original and evocative of a rich tradition. Blending distinctive voices and a wide range of accompaniment (guitar, harmonica, ukulele, clarinet, penny whistle, electric bass), their songs have been wellreceived by audiences around the eastern United States and Canada since 2010. Transcending the genre of folk Americana, their music echoes inspiration from traditional folk duos and singer/songwriters like Ian & Sylvia, Kate Wolf and Neil Young – combining beautiful harmonies and a lyrical intensity, while establishing a unique sound of their own.

There is a fortypound weight attached to him. When the ice melts enough for the weight to drop into the water, an attached rope will set off the timer.

This year the prize money is to be a total of $4,000. 1st place prize is $2,000, 2nd place prize is $1,000, 3rd place prize is $500 and 4th and 5th place prize is $250 each. In the unlikely event of a tie, the prize will be divided equally. Last year’s winning time was February 25th at 1:28 pm. Tickets MUST be received no later than midnight February 19, 2018. Tickets are available through outlets at Lakeview Marine, Point Breeze Restaurant of Webster, and Pro Automotive of Dudley. You can also play online by visiting the Webster Lake Association

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. There are numerous 1099 forms that report Offer good until 2/16/18.

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.

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
Bring in your last year’s return for review.
$10 OFF your Tax Preparation Fee with this ad.
Webster Smart Shopper
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
29
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.
