Protect Your Family Print Recommend This Article to a Friend

Image To protect your family, you need more than the best intentions - you need the right "paperwork." And you're going to need it during two distinct phases of your life - your working years and your retirement.

Let's take a look at these time periods, along with some of the key documents you may need.

Working Years
While you're working, your most valuable asset is your income. Without it, your family might not be able to pay off the mortgage or send the kids to college - and that's why you need to put the appropriate insurance and protection policies to work.

Software: Have Fun With Your Photos Print Recommend This Article to a Friend

All the pictures in this article were made using two originals taken from our Lansing Harbor Festival article, then manipulated using Repligator.

Using Repligator is a lot like partying -- it can be a lot of fun when you are out of control.  Repligator is a graphics program that manipulates pictures with a seemingly endless menu of effects.  And while you can use it for serious graphic manipulation, it is very easy to use -- if you can click a 'Next' button and find the F7 button on your PC you don't need to know much more to come up with some stunning effects.

First, the fun stuff.  Use File > Open to pick a picture file, just as you would in any Windows program (sorry- no Mac version).  The program takes you through a simple wizard that lets you adjust the original picture for brightness and contrast, or to crop it, or rotate or flip it.  Now the fun begins.

Two local businesses were recognized last Friday at Lansing's Lakewatch Inn when the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce named Warren Real Estate of Ithaca the 2007 David R. Strong Small Business of the Year, and the Ithaca Coffee Company was named the 2007 New Business of the Year.  The guest speaker was Tompkins Trust Company President and C.E.O. Greg Hartz, who lauded the recipients' accomplishments and commitment to their businesses.  "Some of those are a tremendous amount of hard work," he said.  "A healthy dose of risk taking, a willingness to pursue dreams, a great commitment to many stakeholder around them, and the ability to get a lot done without a lot of sleep."

Lump Sum vs. Annuity Print Recommend This Article to a Friend

Image Does your employer offer a pension? If so, you'll want to be familiar with your payout options before it's time to start taking money out - because your choice can have a big impact on your retirement income.

If you participate in a pension (also known as a "defined benefit" plan), you'll receive, upon retirement, a specific amount of money based on your salary history and years of service. But how you take that money is up to you.

You have two basic options: You can accept the pension as a series of annuity payments, spread out over your lifetime or a certain number of years, or you can take the money as a lump sum. (Not all pension plans offer the lump-sum option, however.)
