 When you enter the Embracing Goddess Skin Spa on West Hill in Ithaca you feel like you are being welcomed into someone's home. The rocking chairs by the fire in the front parlor, the cosy treatment room in the back with soothing swirls on the ceiling. And licensed aesthetician Holly Tarantelli greeting you at the door with a warm smile.
There is a good reason for that: it is Tarantelli's home. And the privacy the home spa offers does feel embracing. "I really love the word 'embracing,'" Tarantelli says. "When I came here whenever clients left I thought, 'You have this goddess glow about you, it's like your soul is radiating through your skin.' Then I thought Embracing Goddess. I really love this goddess feeling of strong women who take care of themselves and are OK with letting themselves be pampered. It's hard for a lot of us to get past being moms who take care of people all the time to let someone take care of you."

 More than 65 years ago in Pittston, PA Jack Friedman made extension cords to sell door to door from the trunk of his car. He grew that into a family business that is still owned and operated by the third generation of his family. The twelfth Friedman Electric store opened in Ithaca four months ago. But even though the store is new to Ithaca, local contractors have known about the companies huge selection and personalized service for some time. "We noticed nationwide that Ithaca was one of the fastest emerging cities in the country," says Branch Manager Benny Teitelbaum. "A lot of the rest of the country is experiencing very slow sales, very depreciated money, the value of the house, but not in Tompkins County."
The 15,681 square foot building is located on Cecil Malone Drive, the road that winds behind Wegman's. It is divided into a section for contractors, a warehouse, and a spacious 5,000 square foot showroom. " You name it from Joe homeowner to somebody who is building a machine," says Teitelbaum. "We are doing a lot of maintenance and repair at the hospital. We do retro fits for energy savings. We take out old controls and lighting and ballast like that and we sell energy saving products which in the long run pay for themselves over time and saves you on your electricity bill. We are all about that. We do backup power we do telecommunications, we do surveillance, we do low voltage landscape lighting. We do furniture."

During your working years, if you save money diligently and make wise investment choices, you have a good chance of enjoying a comfortable retirement. But will you be taking proper care of your family after you're gone? The only way to answer that question is to do proper estate planning - and trusts can be a key element of your estate plan. How do trusts work? As the grantor of a trust, you set up the rules and appoint a trustee, who manages the trust and its assets. You and other donors then fund the trust with securities and other assets. The trustee collects these gifts and invests the money according to the rules of the trust, which will also determine the trust's beneficiary - the recipient of the trust's proceeds.

WASHINGTON, DC, January 10, 2007 –Each January businesses bear responsibility for preparing W-2s and other tax-related employer tasks, an especially challenging duty for small businesses with fewer resources than larger businesses. Self-employed business owners also face their final estimated tax payment in January. Business.gov, the official business link to the U.S. government, provides federal form searches so visitors may quickly find and download U.S. federal tax forms and guides. “January may be a stressful time for a business owner, and one of Business.gov’s goals is to ease the burden of federal compliance on businesses and make it easier to comply with regulations,” said SBA Administrator Steven C. Preston. |
