From the Pen of Robert L. Cook
January 2005. I have to get used to writing that year: 2005. It'll take me a couple of months, but I'll get there. Then, when I'm getting ready to write one of these articles I always ask myself, "OK. What is 'At Issue'? What are folks concerned about?" This time it involves me being "flabbergasted." I'm not even sure that "flabbergasted" is a real word, but we all know what it means.
I heard the man on TV the other day warning people in the cities of Texas to be on the alert for coyotes! He said that coyotes were coming into cities more and more these days and that folks needed to watch out for them and be careful around them. Then he said that coyotes were a serious threat to human safety, especially children. I was "flabbergasted."
It is a fact that there are more coyotes in Texas today than probably in the last 125 years. It is a fact that there have been a handful of incidents in which a coyote became aggressive and bit a person, and, in one case, a 3-year-old child in California was tragically killed by a coyote. However, such "attacks" are incredibly rare. The last data that I recall seeing stated that a person is 300 times more likely to be attacked and bitten by somebody's pet dog than by a coyote.
Why would a coyote (or almost any other wild critter in Texas) lose its natural fear of humans and become aggressive toward people? The answer is frequently pretty simple. It is because we feed them. Not only do we feed them…we feed them right on our back porch! We provide them a steady supply of easy-to-get food. We feed our pet cats and dogs outside and we leave the pet bowl half full of smelly, high-protein food. We do not place our food scraps and other edible garbage in lock-tight garbage containers; you see them turned over and garbage scattered on the street or driveway on almost every garbage pickup day. We throw food scraps across the back fence into the vacant lot or into the compost pile. Restaurants and grocery stores that throw food and food scraps into open dumpsters are part of the problem. Guess what….Mr. Wiley Coyote (or the "cute" raccoon, or the "harmless" ole 'possum) figured all that out decades ago. They are fat and happy. They are accustomed to humans providing their evening meal. They have lost their fear of humans and, in fact, associate humans with their food supply.
A couple of days later I read in the paper that one of the cities was planning to capture the guilty coyotes and "re-locate" them out of town. Again … "Flabbergasted!" We urban-dwelling humans have created a problem. Because we were not aware or because of our carelessness, we have trained wild animals to expect to get their food from humans; they no longer fear humans, and they want to be fed. So, where are we going to release this wild animal that has no fear of humans, who associates his food supply with humans, and who may not even know how to get food naturally? Believe me when I say that none of our "rural" neighbors — folks who live in the country — want the problem that we have created. We urban folks need to stop providing a food source for these wild animals.
How's that for a New Year's Resolution? Plus, it keeps me from getting "flabbergasted."

One thing that annoys me about our home office is the sheer amount of paperwork we have filed (and semi-filed, you know the whole stuff it in the cabinet system, right?) and stored. One of our goals before the year is over is to FINALLY get the home office organized and that means getting our filing system in order.
Before we throw out old documents and clean out the room, we need to know what to keep (and for how long) and what we can shred, especially when it comes to our tax records.
How Long Should We Keep Tax Records?
I decided to check the IRS guidelines first. The gist of their guidelines is that you only need to store records for as long as the period of limitations applies. For example, that means that if there is still time for you to amend one of your tax filings, you should keep the records for that tax year. The period of limitations is the period of time in which you can amend your tax return to claim a tax credit or tax refund or that the IRS can assess additional tax.
The IRS also has different timetables, depending on your circumstances as follows:
Period of Limitations
|IF you…
|THEN the
period is…
|Owe additional tax and
(2), (3), and (4) do not
apply to you
|3 years
|Do not report income that
you should and it is more
than 25% of the gross
income shown on your
|6 years
|File a fraudulent return
|No limit
|Do not file a return
|No limit
|File a claim for credit or
refund after you filed
your return
|The later of 3 years or 2 years after tax was paid.
|File a claim for a loss from
worthless securities
|7 years
I should also note that even though you may not need to keep these records for tax purposes, please check to see if you need them for some other financial or legal reason.
How to Store Tax Records
As I reviewed the IRS guidelines, I noticed that they did not specify a particular method on how to store your records. That means that if you prefer, you can keep an electronic back up of your tax records. You can also keep them in the traditional paper form as well, it's up to you.
If you're trying to explore some options for digital storage here are a few you may want to check out:
- Scan/Save: The easiest way to save and store that data is to go ahead scan and save the copies. You can put it on an external hard drive where you can store in a secure place.
- DropBox: They specialize with digital storage and have several plans available including free, professional, and team accounts.
- Amazon CloudDrive: Amazon also has a digital storage service that is free for the first 5 GBs.
Of course, you have to weigh which options would be best for you and your organizational needs. Since much of these records have sensitive financial information, please make sure whatever you choose is secure.
Thoughts on Storing Tax Records
For us that means we'll be spending a weekend getting our financial records stored in a secure spot while shredding all of our old stuff from college. Hopefully it'll only be a weekend project and we'll have more space available to rearrange everything in our office next month.
I'd love to hear from you about how your filing system is done at home? How long do you keep your records (tax related and not)? Do you have electronic filing as a part pf your system? Why or why not?

Rabbit Run Theater in Madison, Ohio, and Lake Erie College open the 2016-17 Studio Series: Extraordinary Circumstances season with the comedy "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike."
Written by Christopher Durang and winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play, "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" opens Friday, Oct. 14, and runs through Sunday, Oct. 23.
Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, PA, where they bemoan their comfortable, but lackluster lot in life. Their almost-over-the-hill, movie-star sister, Masha, arrives unannounced with her much-younger boyfriend, Spike. Old resentments flare up when Masha threatens to sell the house out from under them. But all is not lost in this comedy, equal parts Chekhov and off-beat humor.
Cast members include Christopher Ashmun as Vanya and Vonnie Pilarczyk as Vanya's sister, Sonia. Masha is portrayed by Dawn Hill; and Spike is played by Matt Mortensen. Rounding out the cast are Evie Koh as Cassandra and Mary Hudson as Nina.
"Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" is directed by Ann Hedger, programming coordinator at The Fine Arts Association. Hedger has been associated with Rabbit Run since the 1980s as both an actor and director.
"Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" runs Oct. 14, 15, 20, 21, 22 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 16 and 23 at 2:00 p.m. in the C.K. Rickel Theatre in Royce Hall for the Fine and Performing Arts off of Gillett St. on the Lake Erie College campus, 391 W. Washington St., Painesville, OH.
Tickets for all performances are available on line at www.rabbitrunonline.org or at the door. Tickets are $15/adult and $13/senior. All students are admitted free of charge as well as Lake Erie College faculty and staff. All seats are general seating. Parking is free.
A pre-show event is available on Friday, Oct. 21, at the Steele Mansion in Painesville. Patrons may enjoy heavy hors d'oeuvres and a self-guided tour through the mansion. The Steele Mansion is located at 348 Mentor Ave., across from Lake Erie College. Tickets are $27 for adults and $25 for seniors (includes show ticket). Cash bar is available. Reservations may be made at rabbitrunonline.org.
"Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" is made possible in part by funding through the National Endowment for the Arts, the Lake County Visitors Bureau Arts and Culture Fund, the Ohio Arts Council and ideastream.Back To News

Christ the Lord is Risen Today (He is Not Dead)
NCC Worship
This may be hard to believe, especially when I tell you I grew up a pastor's kid, but up until I was about 25, the only hymn I knew was "Amazing Grace". We just didn't really sing them in the churches I grew up in. However, when I moved to DC, and started leading worship at NCC, I quickly realized I was missing a massive part of the worship legacy by not knowing them. So I started to dive in to the depths of Hymnland. Every time I led a hymn, it felt like the roof was going to pop off at NCC. The real fun began when I started writing new guitar hooks, choruses, and messing around with arrangements, to update these classic songs into the modern pop world.
There's rarely a church on the planet that doesn't do "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" on Easter Sunday. Yet, I couldn't really find many modern ways of doing the song. So, I took it upon myself to have a little co-write with Charles Wesley and Samuel Arnold. Hopefully, they're cool with the new spin on the song!
If there's one thing that our Christian faith leans on, it's the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The fact that He didn't stay in that tomb, but rose in glory, is what we truly have our hope in. The chorus I wrote just puts into words what the Easter story is all about. "He is not dead, He is alive. We have this hope in Jesus Christ!" It's not merely enough to say Jesus isn't dead. When you say He is alive, there's a power in your words. There's a hope that our faith can live in.
Most of the lyrics on this song speak of the powerful work of the cross, and the victory of Christ overcoming the grave. The rock n' roll nature of the music just supports the message! As a songwriter, that's a huge thing in writing anything. The music has to match the message. When we lead this at NCC, I love to think how the epic drums, slamming guitars, and driving bass could've been a soundtrack to Christ walking triumphantly out of the grave! Isn't that what worship is? A soundtrack to our lives, a score to our conversations with God!
My wife is really into the Hunger Games books and movies, so just to be a good husband, I am too. Actually, I think I was more pumped to see the latest movie than she was. One of my favorite lines from the film is when President Snow says - "there's only one thing more powerful than fear. Hope." And that's what the Easter story is all about - Hope in Christ.

How are you feeling about Christmas this year?
Are you filled with excitement and anticipation or perhaps you are not in the least bit enthusiastic?
Are you from a traditional family who gather around the tree in harmony? Or is your family partly fragmented and while gathering together is good in theory it might not always be achievable in reality? Honestly, I am more in the latter category.
On a positive note I am looking forward to giving our children and close family members a manageable quantity of affordable and practical gifts.
Setting the table properly and cooking some special food is something I love planning.
Christmas baking, gift making and some easy craft projects are three of my favourite things at this time of year.
I do not love shopping bags bursting with useless plastic junk. Hot, crowded shopping centres make me anxious. Trolleys overflowing with enormous amounts of Christmas food also remind me of the crazy excess that people feel obliged to indulge in.
This Christmas I will be working on finding a balance somewhere between a special family celebration and unnecessary excess.
For me, online shopping and homemade gifts are a better alternative to shopping in the heat and making hasty, last minute decisions.
I will gather my groceries well in advance and be happy to improvise with the rest. Our menu will be quite non-traditional this year, using at least two recipes inspired by Sophie from Local is Lovely.
I will take my children to drop off some food at a local collection point for charity. They may or may not completely understand but I feel this is an important part of our Christmas.
How do you tackle this time of year?
Has your strategy changed over time? I know mine has.
Happy Sunday friends.

Think Alexander Rodchenko meets Tim Burton, Charles Dickens meets Fritz Lang, and the early 20th-century silent movie meets the 21st-century graphic novel, and you have something of the flavour of this jaw-droppingly clever and gloriously subversive parable of social mobility, revolution and its suppression. Taking place here and there, now and then, the company – 1927 – uses the live performance and animation techniques that it employed to such brilliant effect in the twisted vignettes of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea to develop a more sustained narrative about life east of the city where the bankers make big bucks.
Here in a slum tenement, Bayou Mansions, on Red Herring Street, a seething swamp of bad smells and crime, the cockroaches run over every surface, Wayne the racist and his little racist offspring run riot, and the children run free. But not for long. With the girl gang Zelda and the pirates plotting revolution, the City Mayor wants to put a stop to the children's protests, and he's got the weapons to do it: Granny's gumdrops and a sinister black ice cream van. Into this ghoulish fairytale wanders the well-meaning Agnes Eaves, who believes that Bayou's children's problems can be solved by "love, encouragement and collage". Will Art Club ever take off? Can the lovestruck Bayou Mansions caretaker save Agnes's daughter, Evie, from the looming shadow nannies? What is the nasty smell in the laundry room?
With a teeming live piano score from Lillian Henley, Paul Barritt's endlessly wriggling sepia-drenched animations and Suzanne Andrade's droll but savage script, 1927 conjure a world so complete it feels as if you've fallen down a rabbit hole. Like The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, the appeal is in its restrained malevolent tastefulness, but this is much more than an ingenious exercise in style. This is our world held up to the looking glass so that we can read the backwards writing on the wall.
The devil is in the detail: the arcane rules for buying a train ticket, the 10-hour wait in A&E, the helplines that don't help, the fact that the rich get richer and live on milk and honey, while the poor get poorer. This is a tragedy served up as corrosive comedy. At the end, the Bayou residents get their children returned, sedated and agree that they prefer them this way. Born in the Bayou; die in the Bayou. We prefer it this way, too.

An article in this week's Huffington Post takes us away to the Spain of the 1920's, previously characterized as a time of melancholy after the fall of the country's imperialism.
From the looks of it, though, the years between 1898 and 1939—especially the roaring 20's—weren't quite as melancholy as previously believed. UCLA Professor Maite Zubiaurre stumbled upon a collection of erotic works, written and pictoral, showing a far more robust and exciting side of sexuality, feminism, and early LGBT awareness in the country, shedding light on a history not only fascinating, but really, really lovely.
The article goes on to describe the societal importance of the pieces Zubiaurre has discovered, but also includes photos from the collection which are absolutely gorgeous. Revelations not just of a more open and celebratory sexuality, but of men as well as women, depictions of homosexual lovers, transgender individuals, and—one of my personal favorites—satirical depictions of the clergy in flagrante delicto.
The collection looks simply amazing. Take a look at the images in the Post article and let me know what you think. Which images speak to you most? What do you think this means for historians of the period and the culture today?

Thank you so much for my beautiful apron, it is gorgeous and so well made. Shipped in a flash, with a lovey personal note and little gift as well as compostable packaging. So happy!! This item just oozes love and care 😍
Welcome! Thank you for stopping by the Apple & Radish store.
Before you go too much further, you should know our products are NOT made for people who:
# Prefer their items soulless and mass produced. Ours are made by hand in small batches with a big heaping of love and soul. You can almost feel a tiny beating heart in every soap!
# Love plastic packaging. The shiny sheen, the sound as it rustles in the bin. Sorry, you won't find any plastic packaging here.
# Think that the environment means the settings on the air-conditioner. They insist on keeping the windows closed in case a bee flies in. (We welcome bees here. In fact we plant flowers just for them. If one accidentally flies in we help it to find its way out again)
(If you said yes to any of the above.....then Apple & Radish may not be the store for you. Unlessss...you're shopping for you're lovely, vegan friend who's into all this eco stuff. You'll find lots of great things she'll LOVE!)
Now that we've cleared that up, I'm sure you fit into this second category.
Our products are made especially for people:
# Who care about nature and the environment and are trying to do your bit to protect our beautiful planet. You hug trees and rescue spiders even though they scare the bejeesuz out of you. (It still counts if you make your husband rescue them while you shout instructions, standing on a chair)
# Who love to use natural soaps. In fact you won't use anything else or your skin becomes very unhappy.
# Who love spoiling your family and friends with thoughtful, handmade gifts they can't get anywhere else. Flouro-lit shopping centres and big box stores are so 2016! Also you are an awesome friend!!
# Who appreciate quality, creativity and beautiful things, regardless of the current trends in fashion. Timelessly stylish all the way. That's what they all say about you.
# Who love to shop small, shop handmade and shop beautiful. Wise and excellent choice my dear! You are one of the special ones. You are making the world a better place with your cash dollars.
# Are kind and playful with a wicked sense of humour. Thank goodness! The world needs more people like you.
# Preferably have a scottish accent. (Not essential but we do love the way you say wee and occhh)
If you belong in the second group, which you obviously do, then we are already friends. Welcome, welcome! Please come in!

A Little Bit About Me....
I hold qualifications in Biomedical Science and Naturopathy.
I come from a family of creatives. My father is an engineer and inventor, my mother an amazing seamstress, quilter and cook. (My four children are all incredibly creative and artistic too so it must be something in the blood!)
I have always loved to grow herbs, food and flowers and make things from scratch. Ever since I was a child I have been writing, sewing, mixing and making.
I am passionate about all things handmade and homegrown because they soothe the soul and lift the spirits in this fast paced world. They connect us to each other and to the Earth. And they remind us to slow down and savour the simple things.
Simple pleasures, like delightful handmade soap or a deluxe natural lip balm, add sweetness to life and create special moments in your day that make life richer and more meaningful.
I also know Life is sometimes HARD and we all could do with a little (or a lot) more creativity and kindness.
My wish is that everything you buy from Apple & Radish makes you feel a little more inspired, nourished and loved.
Open Tuesday to Friday 10 - 4 at 40 Southport Ave Tamborine Mountain QLD, Australia.
And remember you can shop online anytime!

We did McCain last time. (Scroll down to see the map). McCain is certainly the underdog in this campaign. I focused on 5 battleground states that he would be wise to focus on. The main difference here is that Obama has vast sums of money to spend, whereas McCain is heavily relying on the RNC to make up the slack. McCain can only really afford to spend his money in a few key areas. Obama, on the other hand, has set up shop in all 50 states. He is pouring money to run advertisements in states he has become competitive but will likely lose, such as Georgia. His strategy seems to be the same for McCain as it was for Hillary: bankrupt the opponent by forcing them to play defense in favored but competitive states.
Obama can afford to spend money to build networks and run ads in every battleground state--as he should. If I was a McCainiac, I would tell John to focus hard on the 5 states he needs desperately to win. If I was an Obama-mite, I would say, well, keep doing what you are doing.
Nonetheless, here are the states in order I think Obama should focus on.
1/2 Wisconsin and Minnesota. Several polls have put Obama with massive leads recently, such as a 17-point lead in MN. Wow. I don't even think Pawlenty can help McCain now. Several of the sites I visit don't even have these two states as "toss-ups" anymore. These two are Obama's to lose. Start with 219 Electoral Votes.
2. Pennsylvania. This is the largest Democratic swing state. It didn't go blue the past few times and probably won't change in a Democratic year. McCain is making an effort, but this state has been sailing further into the Democratic column. Obama should dispatch Hillary here (and in Ohio) to really bring this state home. 240 EVs.
3. Michigan (Battleground)! I told McCain that this is one he should fight for. Putting Romney on the ticket would help. But this is one state that clearly is in a full-fledged recession. They are hurting badly and it's just too easy to tie McCain to Bush economic failures--especially since McCain hasn't said he would do much differently in this area. MI has moved from weak to moderate Obama, and Obama would be wise to see that it stays with him. Regardless, sandwiched between Ohio and Wisconsin, I predict this area of the country will be getting a lot of attention from the Obama camp. 257 EVs.
4. Colorado. Although it has been weak Obama, it hasn't budged from supporting him. This is one of the clearest flips from 2004, and the convention will only boost his chances here. 264 EVs.
5. New Hamphire. This is McCain's only real shot at picking up a Kerry state. And it's slipping fast. Right now, it is strong Obama. Again, it's Obama's to lose. 269 EVs.
To put Obama over the top, I recommend focusing on Iowa, another swing state that has consistently been favoring him. That would give Obama the presidency without even winning Ohio, Virginia and Florida. Although I really think he should fight for those in that order. And he will.

The creative entertainment group Berin Iglesias Art will exclusively represent the artist in Russia, the Baltics and CIS countries starting from September 2018.
Maxim Vengerov is one of the most outstanding and demanded contemporary violinists who plays the ex-Kreutzer Stradivari (1727). He has collaborated with the greatest musicians such as Rostropovich, Menuhin, Giulini as well as repeatedly performed with the best orchestras under the baton of the most glorious conductors giving concerts at the most stunning venues of the world.
Tireless in his search for new means of creative expression, Maxim Vengerov has let himself be inspired by many different styles of music, including baroque, jazz and rock and in 2007 followed in the footsteps of his mentors, the late Mstislav Rostropovich and Daniel Barenboim and turned his attention to conducting. MrVengerov has since conducted major orchestras around the world including the Montreal and Toronto Symphony Orchestras, and in 2010 was appointed the first chief conductor of the Gstaad Festival Orchestra. He went on to further his studies with Yuri Simonov, an exponent of the Russian-German conducting school, and graduated as a conductor with a diploma of excellence from the Moscow Institute of Ippolitov-Ivanov in June 2014. He has since graduated from a further 3 - year program of opera conducting.
In the last few seasons Maxim Vengerov has performed as soloist and/or conductor with many major orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, Chicago, Montreal and Toronto Symphony Orchestras.
As one of MrVengerov's greatest passions is the teaching and encouraging of young talent, he has held various teaching positions around the world and is currently Professor at the Menuhin Music Academy in Switzerland (IMMA), with whom he recently accompanied and conducted a concert with Cecilia Bartoli at Le Rosey Concert Hall. Since September 2016 he is also the Polonsky Visiting Professor of Violin at the Royal College of Music in London – the UK's leading conservatoire.
MrVengerov has also received numerous awards including Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (with Orchestra) (2003), two Gramophone awards (1994, 1995), a Classical Brit Award (2004), five Edison Classical Music Awards (1995, 1996, 1998, 2003, 2004), two ECHO awards (1997, 2003) and a World Economic Forum Crystal award (2007) – honouring artists who have used their art to improve the state of the world.
The creative entertainment group Berin Iglesias Art, has been successfully working in international music business for over 15 years. The agency promotes various artists; its affiliates operate in Russia, Belarus, Moldova, the UAE, Israel, the USA, France, the UK, Czech Republic, Austria and Spain.

Darien holds off Wilton, 11-10, to advance to Class L boys lacrosse semis
Recommended Video:
The 17 seniors on the Darien Blue Wave boys lacrosse team will graduate from the high school never having lost a game on their home turf. The Wilton Warriors made sure the last victory wasn't an easy one.
In a game filled with thrills, spills and plenty of momentum shifts, Darien kept its bid for a fifth consecutive state championship alive with a wild 11-10 win over Wilton in the CIAC Class L quarterfinals Saturday at DHS.
The Wave had seemingly put the game out of reach when they went ahead 11-6 with 4:56 remaining, but the Warriors answered with a final run, scoring four straight goals to close the gap to one with 1:30 on the clock.
Wilton's Chris Sweeney was dominant on faceoffs, but Darien's Tanner Strub won the final battle, allowing the Wave to gain possession and, with the help of a couple of flags, run out the clock to get the win.
"There was a lot of heart showed by them, being down by five goals in the fourth quarter," Darien senior co-captain Logan McGovern said of Wilton. "They battled back, won some faceoffs and won the ground balls they needed. Wilton was just gritty. But in the end, Strub got the one that mattered and we ran out the clock there."
"Just come in and fight and scrap, and we did," Wilton head coach John Wiseman said. "We won the ground balls, we were pretty much 50-50 on ground balls, 50-50 on faceoffs, and we outshot them. So we possessed the ball and we did what we wanted to do. We fought."
The victory puts No. 1 Darien (21-0) in the Class L semifinals opposite No. 4 New Canaan (16-5) on Wednesday, May 6, at a time and site to be announced Monday. The Wave has beaten the Rams twice this season, but both games were close: 9-7 during the regular season and 13-12 in the FCIAC final on May 25.
The No. 8 Warriors (13-7) showed just how tough it can be to beat a team three times in a season. Darien won the first two meetings — 12-8 during the regular season and 17-5 in the FCIAC semis — but Wilton nearly knocked off the Wave on Saturday.
"It's so hard for kids to beat a good team three times and they're a good team," Darien head coach Jeff Brameier said. "They're one of the top five teams in the state and they've got a lot of good players.
"They were a driven Wilton team that obviously just didn't want to go down. You've got to tip your cap to any team that plays like that. They've got talent. But to our credit, we were able to hold on and survive."
McGovern was the quarterback of Darien's offensive attack, and collected five points on three goals and two assists. Jack Joyce added a hat trick; Brian Minicus had a goal and two assists; and Hudson Pokorny scored twice. Long pole Matt Gould and Henri Pfeifle each had one goal.
For the Warriors, Nolan Quinn had a hat trick; and Brian Calabrese and Zach Zeyher each scored twice, with Calabrese also dishing out one assist. Joe Murtha, Ryan McDermott and Dean DiNanno had a goal and an assist apiece.
Both goalies had big games, as Darien's Sean Collins made 12 saves, and Wilton's Andrew Calabrese made 15 saves.
Both teams knew what to expect coming in, as each is a battle-tested FCIAC squad.
"FCIAC teams are always a great game," McGovern said. "These are some of the best teams in the country, and this is one of the best counties in the country for lacrosse. We had to see them early, here in the quarters, and we knew it was going to be a battle. We feel lucky to come out on top."
Murtha scored the game's first goal early in the opening quarter, but the Blue Wave scored four of the next five and carried a 4-2 lead into the second frame.
A goal by Pokorny, assisted by McGovern, just 45 seconds in the second quarter made it 5-2, but Wilton answered with goals from Zeyher and DiNanno to cut the deficit to one at 5-4.
Darien's Gould and Wilton's Quinn then traded goals to make it 6-5 in favor of the Wave at halftime.
Darien was on the verge of putting the game out of reach in the second half. Pfeifle, Minicus and McGovern scored consecutive goals to make it 9-5 and, after McDermott ended the third quarter with a Warriors' goal, Joyce netted two to give Darien a five-goal lead with under five minutes to play.
Wilton, however, didn't pack it in. Quinn scored with 3:30 on the clock, starting a 4-0 run which closed the gap to one.
Throughout the run, and the game, Sweeney provided plenty of spark for Wilton at the faceoff X.
"He was great, he's been great all year and he had a great four quarters," Wiseman said. "They pulled away a little bit in the third quarter and then in the fourth quarter, we came back. Everybody fought and they played hard. Sweeney was great, but around the field, it took everybody."
Calabrese scored with 2:27 remaining, Quinn followed with another goal 23 seconds later, and Calabrese scored again with 1:30 to play, as Darien's lead dwindled to one goal.
Strub, however, won the ensuing faceoff and Wilton never got another shot at the tying goal.
McGovern credited some of the Wave's tough games this season as a big reason Darien was able to win in the quarterfinals.
"That's why we were the ones that won the last faceoff and ran the ball out," McGovern said. "We've been here before, we've been here against St. Anthony's, against Manhasset, one-goal games. We know how to win when the chips are down and they've got the momentum. We can get it back pretty quickly."
"We came out in the second half and played and got some separation and fortunately, we got enough to hold on by the skin of our teeth and pull out a one-goal win," Brameier said.
And, perhaps most importantly, the Wave moves on with the seniors never having lost on their home turf.
"We live to play another day," Brameier said. "Our seniors leave this field never having lost a game on this field, so that's a testament to our seniors and the program."

Pizza was last year. Chili the year before. And there was the year you did sub sandwiches.
Not bad, you're thinking to yourself. Then reality sinks in: You have about a week to pull something together.
Yes, all the big screens and comfy sofas in the world mean little if you don't dig up some sustenance for a Super Bowl viewing party.
Make it easy on yourself. Throw a Super Bowl burrito party, and let football fans wrap their own. Just offer an assortment of fillings: grilled meat strips, cooked crumbled sausage, a chili-seasoned chicken stew, rice, beans, cheese and lots of veggies (avocado slices, lettuce, cilantro, onions, etc.). And those mammoth flour tortillas.
"Some people like rice and beans. You can put avocados in. You can make it vegetarian," said restaurateur Monica Greene of Monica's Aca y Alla in Dallas. "You can make it as decadent as you want. You can put sour cream in it, chipotle mayo — no one can make it like you."
Nor as big as we do these days, sometimes a size akin to a kiddie football.
Once upon a time, of course, a "true authentic Texas burrito," said Greene, was an 8-incher on a flour tortilla. No spinach tortillas or sun-dried tomato tortillas, thank you very much.
Now the 8-inch cylinder has grown from a side dish to a complete meal. "You don't need anything else," said Greene. "You don't need a plate."
But you do need salsa.
"This is the thing that's going to flavor your burrito," said Victor Escobedo who runs a pair of Papalote Mexican Grill restaurants and a salsa company in San Francisco with his brother, Miguel.
"Salsas marry everything together," he said. "This is where you want to really show off your ability to mix flavors."
So whether you make salsa from scratch or get an assist from one of the many canned tomato products on the market, consider a few of Escobedo's salsa-making tips.
"You can make sauces that begin with either tomatoes or tomatillos blended with fresh peppers and then season it. You can add onion," he said. "Experiment with sweet and savory, and have faith in the seasoning, which is just a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper and some garlic that will marry sweet and savory beautifully."
What would Victor do?
"Chopped pineapple with chipotle or pineapple with roasted habanero," he said. "But definitely grilled fruit with a favorite pepper. Grill both a little bit, then blend it chunky rather than runny."
And be cool when it comes to firepower. "A lot of people like to burn their tongues off," he said. "There is no need for pain.
"Once you achieve a salsa that will get you to a certain heat level — that you can maintain — then it becomes really enjoyable," Escobedo said. "You don't want it to be like a roller coaster where you take a bite then have to stop eating and drink something because it's too spicy. And you take another bite, and it's up and down, up and down. Try to get the level to get a little bit challenging, but something that you can keep going."
On the roster
Don't have time or the culinary inclination to cook from scratch? Check out this "semi pro" food lineup, which gets an assist from the supermarket.
12-inch flour tortillas, warmed
Beans, canned refried or whole black beans, drained, heated
Frozen or refrigerated heat-and-eat chicken strips
Frozen precooked or instant rice
Shredded cheese
Store-bought guacamole
Chopped lettuce
Chopped cilantro
Bottled or refrigerated salsas
(1 hot, 1 medium)
Fire-roasted salsa with corn
Prep: 10 minutes
Makes: About 2 cups
This simple version was created by Lisa Schumacher in the Tribune test kitchen. For a chipotle-pineapple salsa, omit the corn and add 3/4 to 1 cup finely diced fresh pineapple.
1 can (14.5 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes with chipotle peppers, drained
1/2 white onion, diced
1/2 cup corn kernels, fresh, cooked or frozen, thawed
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Season with salt, if desired
Combine all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Medicare Questions and Answers
By Kirk Larson Social Security Washington Public Affairs Specialist
Medicare is an important program for you and millions of people. Medicare is our country's health insurance program for people age 65 or older. People younger than age 65 with certain disabilities, or permanent kidney failure, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease), can also qualify for Medicare. The program helps with the cost of health care, but it doesn't cover all medical expenses or the cost of most long-term care. For more information on Medicare go to www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10043.pdf
I will rely on Medicare when I retire. Can you explain the different parts of Medicare?
The different parts of Medicare cover your specific needs. There are four parts, all of which work in tandem to deliver healthcare services.
• Part A (hospital insurance): Hospital insurance helps pay for inpatient care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility (following a hospital stay), some home health care, and hospice care.
• Part B (medical insurance): Medical insurance helps pay for doctors' services and many other medical services and supplies that hospital insurance doesn't cover.
• Part C (Medicare Advantage plans): If you have Medicare Parts A and B, you can join a Medicare Advantage plan. Private companies offer Medicare Advantage plans which are approved by Medicare. These plans generally help you pay the medical costs not covered by Medicare Part A and B.
• Part D (prescription drug coverage): Prescription drug coverage helps pay for medications doctors prescribe for treatment.
When can I start Medicare?
When you first become eligible for Medicare Part A, you have a seven-month period (your initial enrollment period) in which to sign up for Part B. If you're eligible at age 65, your initial enrollment period begins three months before your 65th birthday, includes the month you turn age 65, and ends three months after that birthday.
I have medical coverage through my employer. Do I have to take Medicare Part B?
You are not required to take Medicare Part B if you are covered by a group healthcare plan based on either your current employment or the current employment of a spouse. When your coverage ends, you may contact the Social Security Administration to request a special enrollment for Medicare Part B. We will need to verify your coverage through your employer in order for you to be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period. Note – COBRA, retiree health plans, and medical coverage from the VA aren't considered coverage based on current employment. You're not eligible for a Special Enrollment Period when that coverage ends.
What happens if I did not take Medicare Part B when I was first eligible?
In most cases, if you don't sign up for Part B when you're first eligible, you'll have to pay a late enrollment penalty. You'll have to pay this penalty for as long as you have Part B. Your monthly premium for Part B may go up 10% for each full 12-month period that you could have had Part B, but didn't sign up for it. Also, you may have to wait until the General Enrollment Period (from January 1 to March 31) to enroll in Part B. Coverage will start July 1 of that year. Usually, you don't pay a late enrollment penalty if you meet certain conditions that allow you to sign up for Part B during a Special Enrollment Period.

This needs to be checked on a longer time frame.
As it's a more expensive product, emotional on the spot sales are usually less.
so, I need to wait for at least a month to see an impact.
On that one, a limiting factor is of course that so much is in free access.
As I explained earlier, only 5% of visitors will actually hit a door where they are asked to purchase the membership.
5% out of 500 visits/day – that's 25 visitors/day
if the conversion rate is 0.5% (non targeted traffic) – this could mean 1 sale every 8 days.
or around 3 sales/month.
But I need to check this deeper and still optimize all that…
Another one is the fact that the ebooks icons are inconsistent, messy or duplicated which could kill credibility
