then get back to The Players’ Ring as they kick off 2014 with “Background Check,” a new comedy by acclaimed local play-wright G. Matthew Gaskell.
Walter and Kitty appear to be the perfect couple, but could something as simple as a knock on the door bring both their pasts back to haunt them? Is it fair to blame the mafia? Is the CIA involved? Should Poppy have chosen the black dress?
Find out the answers to these questions and at least three others when you join Jamie Brad-ley, Teddi Kenick-Bailey, Bretton Reis, Kevin Baringer, Liz Locke, Matt Schofield, Todd Hunter, Jasmine Hunter, Molly Sullivan, and Michelle Blouin Wright, in
erated Q and A, plus a book sign-ing and meet-and-greet. It will be held at the Music Hall Loft at 131 Congress Street in downtown Portsmouth.
With millions of copies of his books sold, a well-regarded TED talk that has been viewed more than four million times, lec-tures around the world, and the acclaim of everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Malcolm Gladwell, Daniel H. Pink has changed the way we live by changing how we think.
While it’s not a secret that millions of Americans – one in nine of us, in fact -- work in tra-ditional sales, the startling news is that in today’s world, so do
the other eight. We’re all in sales now, as Pink explains in “To Sell is Human.”
Bringing the same clarity of insight, cutting-edge research, and good humor to this book as he did to his mega-bestsellers “Drive” and “A Whole New Mind,” Pink gets you to think in new ways, inspires you to act, and gives you the tools to change.
Said Margaret Talcott, Pro-ducer of “Writers in the Loft,” “We’re thrilled to be hosting Dan Pink. His astounding research, wise reflections and advice are exactly in the zone of The Music Hall’s Innovation and Leader-ship series – at the intersection of our personal and professional lives. Early interest in his event has been keen – we expect a sell-out.”
The ticket package for the “Innovation and Leadership Forum” with Daniel H. Pink pre-sented with “Writers in the Loft” on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. is $30.25 and $27.25 for Music Hall members. In addition to a re-served seat, the package includes a copy of “To Sell is Human”, a bar beverage and a book signing meet-and-greet.
Packages can be purchased through The Music Hall Box Office, over the phone at 603-436-2400 or online at www.themusi-chall.org.
“Background Check.” Performances will take
place from Jan. 3 through Jan. 19 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. There will also be a 7 p.m. performance on Sunday, Jan 5
and 12, with a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee on Jan. 19.
Tickets are $15 for general admission and $12 for students, seniors and Players’ Ring mem-bers.
PORTSMOUTH - The Music Hall’s “Innova-
tion and Leadership Forum” and “Writers in the Loft” series wel-come Daniel H. Pink, the New York Times bestselling author of “Drive” and “A Whole New Mind,” on Wednesday, Jan. 22. Pink takes the stage to discuss the just-released paperback edi-tion of his latest book, “To Sell is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others,” which sat atop The Washington Post bestseller list and ranked as the No. 1 bestseller on the Wall Street Journal and New York Times lists for business books in 2012.
The 7 p.m. event includes an author presentation and mod-

New York Times Bestseller Boasts “Writers in the Loft” Series
PORTSMOUTH -How can women know
exactly how men think? Will women ever truly understand male thoughts? Is it possible for women to think from a male point of view?
Be careful what you wish for as the all-male comedy show “How Men Think (or Do They?)” is a hilarious peek inside the male mind. The comedy tour returns to Ports-mouth at the Portsmouth Gas Light Co. on Saturday, Jan 11.
The lineup for the show features Alan Park, a Canadian comedian and political satirist best known for his appearanc-es on the Royal Canadian Air Farce. Chris Pennie, who has been entertaining crowds since 2005, will also be a part of this month’s show. As a life-long bachelor and full-time single dad, Pennie relies on his dys-functional family and off beat view of the world to find humor in everyday life.
This installment of the tour will also feature Brian Ronan, New Hampshire native
Paul Landwehr, and returning comedian, Dave Rattigan.
“All of these guys are ex-cellent comedians who cull material from their own lives,” said Rattigan. “They all work at comedy clubs, but when we’re together with this theme, and this expectation from the audience, it creates a very dif-ferent vibe than what you get in a comedy club. At certain points you’ll see women laugh-ing as their husbands nod their heads in recognition. After the show, I’ll often have women come up to me in the lobby and tell me about something one of us said that mirrors behavior they’ve observed in the past from a boyfriend, husband, father or some other lug head in their lives.”
Join for great night out at the Portsmouth Gas Light Co. located at 64 Market St. in Portsmouth. Tickets are $20 in advance and $30 at the door. The show will start at 7 pm. Advance tickets can be pur-chased at www.drinkwaterpro-ductionsevents.com.

Financial Resolutions for the New Year About 45 percent
of Americans usu-ally make New Year’s
resolutions, according to a survey from the University of
Scranton. But the same survey shows that only 8 percent of us actually keep our resolutions. Perhaps this low success rate isn’t such a tragedy when our resolutions involve things like losing a little weight or learn-ing a foreign language. But when we make financial reso-lutions — resolutions that, if achieved, could significantly help us in our pursuit of our important long-term goals — it’s clearly worthwhile to make every effort to follow through.
So, what sorts of finan-cial resolutions might you con-sider? Here are a few possibili-ties:
Boost your contributions to your retirement plans.
Each year, try to put in a little more to your IRA and
your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plans. These tax-advantaged accounts are good options for your retire-ment savings strategy.
Reduce your debts.It’s not always easy to
reduce your debts, but make it a goal to finish 2014 with a smaller debt load than you had going into the new year. The lower your monthly debt payments, the more money you’ll have to invest for retirement, college for your children (or grandchildren) and other important objectives.
Build your emergency fund. Work on building an
“emergency fund” containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses, with the money held in a liquid account that offers a high degree of preservation of principal. Without such a fund, you might be forced to dip into your long-term investments to pay for emergencies, such as a
new furnace, a major car repair, and so on. You might not be able to finish creating your emergen-cy fund in one year, but contrib-ute as much as you can afford.
Plan for your protection needs.If you don’t already have
the proper amounts of life and disability insurance in place, put it on your “To Do” list for 2014. Also, if you haven’t taken steps to protect yourself from the considerable costs of long-term care, such as an extended nurs-ing home stay, consult with your financial professional, who can suggest the appropriate protec-tion or investment vehicles. You may never need such care, but that’s a chance you may not want to take — and the longer you wait, the more expensive your protection options may become.
Don’t overreact to market volatility.
Too many people head to the investment “sidelines”
during market downturns. But if you’re not invested, then you miss any potential market gains— and the biggest gains are often realized at the early stages of the rally.
Focus on the long term. You can probably check
your investment balance online, which means you can do it every day, or even several times a day — but should you? If you’re fol-lowing a strategy that’s appropri-ate for your needs, goals, risk tol-erance and time horizon, you’re already doing what you should be doing in the long run. So there’s no need to stress yourself over the short-term movements that show up in your investment statements.
Do whatever you can to turn these New Year’s resolu-tions into realities. Your efforts could pay off well beyond 2014.

DOVER - Meet Billie Jo. She is your
classic southern belle with a little bit of spunk.
A perfect day for Billie Jo includes a parade around her farm, a hunting trip, an obedi-ence class to learn more about being a proper lady, and a nice long nap at your feet. Billie will prefer not to have any kids under age six in her forever home, and, if there are to be any kids in her future, they better be rough and tumble for this charmer.
She would do best in a home with a dog friend to keep her company, as she gets nervous when she’s alone. No cats for this girl, though. If your family has a job for her, time and energy to train her, and lots of attention

Hiberna is an all day party on Monday, Dec. 30, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. To celebrate, Teatotaller will feature different specials and deals each hour. Musical acts and local artists fill the program from morning until night. For more informa-tion, check out www.teatotal-lerteahouse.com.

downtown Somersworth. For the avid Teatotaller fol-
lower, there’s still plenty to keep up on.
“We’re launching a blog, called ‘Steeped’ which will cata-logue our adventures in down-town Somersworth – that should be live in about a month,” said Soldati.
They’ll also be launch-ing an online store selling their famous Candy Bar black tea blend, Caramel Chai or aromatic vanilla “Early Bird” blend.
Hiberna is a festival to cel-ebrate a brilliant past and won-derful new beginnings.
SOMERSWORTH - New Hampshire’s Best Tea
House is flying the coop – but only a few blocks away. Making it to its second year down on his-toric Main Street, Teatotaller has many new developments on its horizon. To celebrate, Teatotaller is hosting Hiberna – an all day celebration on Monday, Dec. 30.
Teatotaller recently an-nounced that they will be clos-ing their doors on Main Street and immediately begin prepara-tions for a new space. The loca-tion isn’t yet disclosed, though co-owner Emmett Soldati indi-cates that Teatotaller will stay in
mas, Eid, and ended with a con-cert which included pieces per-formed by the award-winning Jazz Band, Jazz Choir, Chorus, Chamber of Music Ensemble, and Jazz Combo.
All students at Heronfield Academy participate in the per-forming arts program. Music is
an integral part of the curricu-lum at Heronfield, along with English, mathematics, science, visual arts, drama, humanities, Spanish and physical education.
For more information about Heronfield Academy’s music or other programs, go to www.heronfieldacademy.org.
“It’s a Phoenix rising kind of celebration,” says Teato-tallers’s new creative director, Justin Bloom, “One door closes, we remember how great Teato-taller has been to the community, but another door opens and that means it’s time to party.”
Soldati feels similar.“It’s been really great down
here on Main Street. The city and community have been very good to us,” she said. “We’ve always had a pledge of bringing excellence to everything we do. With a change of scenery, we will be able to up the ante. I’m very excited about how the spirit of Teatotaller will carry on to a
new location.” Along with a new location,
Teatotaller owners are bring-ing on new talent to their team. Tricia Sanborn – a lifelong Tea-totaller regular – was recently brought on to bring her business and retail acumen to the new Teatotaller experience.
“I’m really excited about the level of professionalism, and perfection, that Tricia brings to her environment,” said Soldati. “Teatotaller has always been a little rough around the edges – and will continue to be – but we’re glad to have Tricia around to whip out her nail file and smooth things out a bit.”

Dear Computer Lady,My printer has broken down
and I am getting a new one. I have read that discarded printers have a memory that could be accessed by whoever got ahold of it and knew how to do it, and that memory could contain personal or finan-cial information. Can you tell me if this is true, and if so, can you tell me if there is a way to eliminate the printer memory before I discard it?
Thank you for your help. I’ve been a reader of your newsletter for many years now and always find something of interest. Pat
Dear Pat,Almost all printers have only
RAM memory, which can only hold information while the device is powered on.
This means that any in-formation stored in your printer would be gone forever once you have erased it.
The only exception would be higher end office printers that come with a hard drive. If the printer has a hard drive (which can hold information while powered off) then there is a chance that there could be images of some of your printed documents on the drive.
If you don’t know if your printer has a hard drive or not, then it probably doesn’t. You

Dear Computer Lady,When I used Windows
XP years ago I learned how to “TILE,” which is to place two pho-tographs side-by-side or one above the other on the computer screen. It was very handy to compare two similar photos of the same scene or object to decide which “shot” was the best to keep.
Now that I have Windows 7, I don’t know how to accomplish that procedure. Can you give me the steps to perform for this opera-tion? Steve
Dear Steve,In Windows 7, you can tile
two windows side-by-side quite easily.
Using your mouse, drag the title bar of one window to the left side of your screen. When the cursor hits the edge of the screen, the window will automatically fill
just the left half of your desktop.Next, drag the other window
to the right edge of your screen. Again, when the cursor touches the right edge, the window will au-tomatically fill just the right half of your desktop.
Have fun comparing your photos. Elizabeth
Dear Computer Lady,I just bought a computer a
few months ago with Windows 8. Would it be wise to update it to Windows 8.1? Thanks, Brenda
Dear Brenda,Actually, your computer
might have already updated itself to Windows 8. 1. I checked my computer after reading your email, and found that it was already run-ning Windows 8.1. It had updated itself without any help from me.
If your computer hasn’t al-ready updated itself, it would prob-ably be wise to update it manually.
First, to check if your com-puter has the update or not, you need to go to the control panel.
Tap the Windows logo key on your keyboard, and type “Con-trol Panel”.
Click on the link to the “Con-trol Panel,” then click on “System and Security”.
Click on “System”.A Window will be displayed
that shows you information about your computer. In the top section, it will show you what version of Windows you are running. Check to see if it says Windows 8 or Win-dows 8.1.
If your computer isn’t run-ning 8.1 yet, you can easily install the update yourself. Here is how:
Tap the Windows logo key on your keyboard, and type “Win-dows Update”.
Click on the link to the “Windows Update,” then click “Check For Updates”.
Click the, “Install Updates” button to install the update.Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,I recently bought a new HP
Desktop computer to replace my old HP.
My old computer had pin connectors on the mouse and key-board, while the new one has a dif-ferent type of connector making my old mouse and keyboard use-less. My question is do they have an adapter to go from the pin to the new connector?
I am 78-years old and not to computer smart, but I read your post all the time and thought if anybody knows, you would .
Thank you for any help you can give me, Al
Dear Al,The short answer to your
question is, “no”. You will have to purchase a new keyboard and mouse for your new computer.
There are adapters that con-vert ps2 connectors (the round ones with pins) to USB (which is what your new computer uses), however, those only work with

Health & FitnessWDH to Offer Healthier Menu
DOVER - In keeping with its mis-
sion to partner with individu-als and families to attain their highest level of health, the Wentworth-Douglass Health System will discontinue sugar-sweetened beverage and fried food options in the cafeteria, cafés and on patient menus by Jan. 1, 2014.
Sugar-sweetened bever-ages and fried foods have been linked to obesity and other chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and hy-pertension. Hospital President and CEO Gregory Walker, FACHE said, “As a health-care organization, we have an obligation to lead by example. Our employee survey results

will be enjoying the Holiday Season thanks to the joint effort of employees of The Homemakers Health Services and Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics in Somersworth.
While employees of Hanger made donations to The Homemakers Holiday Food and Gift Basket proj-ect for older and disabled residents, employees of The Homemakers made dona-tions to Hanger’s Toys for Tots Drive. Accepting gifts on behalf of both organiza-tions were Polly Freeman, Rebecca Page, Paul Jenkins and Christopher Aiken of Hanger and Deborah Bouch-er and Melody Critchlow of The Homemakers’ FUSE (From Unity Strength Excels) Committee, an interdepart-mental group of employees.
The donation was made through the home health care agency’s FUSE Committee, which quarterly selects an organization in need to assist through donations.

Sugar-sweetened beverages include any beverage with added sugar. Examples include regular soda, energy drinks, sweetened iced teas, lemonades and fruit drinks that are not 100 percent juice.
Fried foods include, but are not limited to, french fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, fried chicken and fried fish. Went-worth-Douglass Health System will replace the fried items with baked items such as baked sweet potato oven fries.
The Health System will also continue to offer water, selt-zers, sugar-free and diet drinks, unsweetened coffee and teas, all
milks (excluding whole milk), soymilk beverages, and 100 percent fruit and low sodium vegetable juices. Milk contains a natural sugar called lactose and 100 percent juice contains a natural sugar called fructose. These do not fall under the “sug-ar-sweetened” category because there are no added sugars. The Waterfall Café in the Hospital’s main lobby will continue to offer Starbucks-branded products.
Employees, patients and visitors have the right to choose other beverage and food alterna-tives and these drinks and food items can be brought into the facility. The Hospital will con-tinue to research new options for healthier beverage and food selections.
