Sabres without Vanek face Maple Leafs without Lupulby Mike Battaglino / NHL.com
MAPLE LEAFS (16-12-2) at SABRES (11-15-4)
Last 10: Toronto 4-4-2; Buffalo 4-3-3
Season series: This is the last of four meetings. The Toronto Maple Leafs have won two in a row after losing the first, with one game going to overtime.
Big story: Ron Rolston took over as coach of the Buffalo Sabres one month ago Wednesday. On that day, they were 13th in the Eastern Conference. Thursday morning, they are 13th in the Eastern Conference, though they have gone 7-5-3 in 15 games under Rolston after going 4-10-1 in 15 under Lindy Ruff.
The Sabres are chasing, among others, the Maple Leafs, who are sixth in the East after a 4-2 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday.
"Tomorrow is obviously a big test for us," Sabres captain Jason Pominville said on the team's website Wednesday. "[It's] a team we're trying to catch. It's going to be a big game, a home game that it'd be nice to pull off and get ourselves closer to where we want to be."
Team Scope:
Maple Leafs: Forward Joffrey Lupul has three goals and an assist in two games since returning from a broken arm, but he was suspended for two games Thursday after he was penalized for an illegal check to the head of Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman in the third period Wednesday.
"I was surprised, I didn't see the play, actually what had happened," coach Randy Carlyle said. "Somebody said something about the Lupul hit and I haven't had a chance to review it."
It was Toronto's first win in two weeks, a losing streak of five games.
"It feels really good, but at the same time there was no panic in here," goalie James Reimer told the team's website. "... We weren't doing things to our best ability and that'll happen sometimes. I thought we put together pretty much a solid 60 minutes tonight and we can build off it, feel good and hopefully bring another good performance tomorrow."
Defenseman Jake Gardiner was back with the team after being recalled from the American Hockey League. He played 19:20 and was a minus-1.
"I was moving my feet well, and our team played really well tonight, so that really helped," Gardiner said, adding, "It's good to get the first one out of there."
Thursday starts a string of six games in nine days, three on the road.
"We need to build on the success of the win here and carry that over into the next one, the next one, the next one, because all of these games are going to come quick here," Carlyle said.
Sabres: Buffalo will be without leading scorer Thomas Vanek, who was hit by a shot from a teammate in the first period of a 3-2 overtime win against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday. Rolston said Vanek (31 points) could return Saturday.
Steve Ott moved up to the top line alongside Pominville and Cody Hodgson and scored twice, including the OT winner.
"I think you want to find the right combinations in the lines," Rolston said. "[Ott] provides that, just the presence and the grittiness and kind of a heavy presence out on the ice."
It was the Sabres' 18th one-goal game; they are 7-7-4 in them.
"I think we have 11 losses by one goal," Pominville said. "[They] could have been easily points for us. I think we don't want to be the team that cracks first when the game's on the line, and at times we have been, and it's cost us points and cost us games. But I don't think on any given night you can expect an easy night and easy points because it's just not going to happen that way."
Ryan Miller likely will start in goal after watching from the bench Tuesday. He said he noticed more detail-oriented teammates.
"We connected, we got up ice, we got the puck in," Miller said. "It's amazing how it translates to a game where we can get a lead. …
"It just comes down to, for us, it's not going to matter who we're playing against. Our habits have to be our own. We have to go out and play the way we've been playing."
Who's hot: Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri had three assists Wednesday, giving him five in the past two games playing on a line with Lupul. Forward Phil Kessel has a five-game points streak (four goals, four assists). … Ott has five points in his past six games. Forward Tyler Ennis has three points in the past two games. Hodgson is plus-4 in March after entering the month minus-5.
Injury report: The Maple Leafs have no injuries. … Vanek (lower body) is out for the Sabres and defenseman Andrej Sekera (upper body) is day-to-day.

One Book, One San Diego: Book Discussion Of 'The Sandcastle Girls' By Chris Bohjalian
- WHEN Tuesday, December 5, 2017 at 6 p.m.
Ocean Beach Branch Library , 4801 Santa Monica Ave., San Diego, CA 92107
Map | Website
- AGES All ages
- COST Free
Join us for a discussion of the 2017 One Book, One San Diego selection, "The Sandcastle Girls" by Chris Bohjalian, a sweeping tale of a legacy of the Armenian Genocide that would affect an American family for generations.
Ocean Beach Branch Library: 619-531-1532
This event is a part of the One Book, One San Diego community reading program. One Book is a partnership between KPBS, the San Diego Public Library and the San Diego County Library, and the following organizations:
San Diego City College, Hoover High School, San Diego State University's Love Library, University of San Diego's Copley Library, Juvenile Court Book Club, Escondido Public Library, Chula Vista Public Library, Point Loma Nazarene University's Ryan Library, Asociación de Bibliotecarios de Baja California, San Diego Council on Literacy, Oceanside Public Library, UC San Diego Library, Girl Scouts San Diego, Worldview Project, Little Fish Comic Book Studio, Rosa Parks Elementary School, Crawford High School, Wilson Middle School, and Deaf Community Services of San Diego.

"Bohjalian deftly weaves the many threads of this story back and forth, from past to present, from abuse to humanity, from devastation to redemption. His ability to add irony and wit makes the contrasting horrors even more intense. . .Staggering. . .[and] utterly riveting." — Eugenia Zukerman, The Washington Post
"A searing, tightly woven tale of war and the legacy it leaves behind. . .A nuanced, sophisticated portrayal of what it means not only to endure, but to insist on hope." — Nathalie Gorman, Oprah.com
"It takes a talented novelist to combine fully ripened characters, an engrossing storyline, exquisite prose and set it against a horrific historical backdrop — in this case, the Armenian Genocide — and completely enchant readers. The prolific and captivating Chris Bohjalian has done it all with 'The Sandcastle Girls.'" — Kim Curtis, The Associated Press

It was an unusually eventful night at the Palace Theatre on Halloween.
It was an unusually eventful night at the Palace Theatre on Halloween.
A young man in towering platform heels, fishnet stockings and black lingerie, looking both coy and commanding, beat an entire stage of colorful freaks for the $50 best-costume prize.
Movie-goers, a full house of them, were pelted with rice, slices of toast, unfurling toilet paper and squirt-gun showers, while singing along and hollering insults — many of them unprintable here — at the screen in unison.
The reason for the raucous celebration, which drew close to 950 revelers, was the Palace's annual and ever-popular screening of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," a 1975 rock musical that remains outrageous 38 years later.
Many attendees dressed as characters from the film. The costume-contest winner, Brett Parr, starred as Frank-N-Furter in the North Canton Playhouse's 2012 "Rocky Horror" production. Prop bags, sold by the theater for $8, provided the aforementioned airborne items and more. The clean-up effort, as always, was extensive, taking a six-member cleaning crew four to five hours.
"This is the single largest movie event that we do each year," said Georgia Paxos, executive director of the Palace. "We had about 150 more people than last year, and the crowd was slightly younger, which means there's a whole new group of 'Rocky Horror' aficionados coming up."
This year, there was the bonus of new digital projection and sound, giving "Rocky Horror" — which stars Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick and Meatloaf, among others — a crisp definition and sonic punch.
The just-unveiled digital system was a necessity for the Palace, as theatrical films will be released in digital-format only beginning Jan. 1, 2014.
The Palace is actively seeking funds to pay off the conversion, which cost $71,500; so far, $9,000 has been raised.

By Mike Lehman, TTU Sports Information Coordinator
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – A roller coaster ride of a game kicked things off between the Tennessee Tech and Northwestern baseball teams Friday afternoon as the Golden Eagles took the first contest in a three game series, defeating the Wildcats 11-7.
A solo blast off the bat of Brandon Thomasson gave the Tech squad the life it needed to take the lead for good and win its eighth straight contest. The senior's fifth home run of the year propelled the Golden Eagles to a 7-6 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning. Tech tallied four more runs across the rest of the game while surrendering just one in the top of the ninth.
The Golden Eagles got off to rough start before the game even started, having to scratch junior Chris Chism less than 10 minutes before first-pitch due to an injury. Relief pitcher Jacob Honea did his best in the spot start, but struggled to locate after rushing through barely five minutes of warm-up time. He surrendered just two runs on the mound, allowing no hits while walking three.
Austin Tolle came on in relief of Honea, tossing four innings out of the pen and really helping the Tech staff limit the workload. He gave up just three hits and one earned run while striking out a game-high four.
Five more pitchers combined to cover the final five outs of the game, including junior Jeb Scoggins, who collected his first career win with two innings of two-hit ball in relief of Tolle. Also part of that group, junior closer Seth Lucio notched his third save of the season, recording the final two outs to guide Tech to its ninth win of the season.
Runs fell for both teams early in the contest, as Northwestern built a two-run lead after the first half inning. The Golden Eagles quickly answered, striking across three themselves in the bottom half off back-to-back doubles from Thomasson and shortstop Dylan Bosheers.
The Wildcats tied things up in the second with a lone run, but Tech answered with two more runs to take a 5-3 advantage after two innings, this time off a double from center fielder Jake Rowland.
Enter the fourth inning and Northwestern jumped out on top again, scratching three across to take force another lead change. With the Wildcats on top, 6-5, Zach Zarzour laced a double off the left center field wall, missing a dinger by inches, to set up slugger Zach Stephens. The senior delivered with an RBI single through the left side to even things for the last time, at 6-6.
Thomasson crushed his towering shot over the left field wall in the bottom of the fifth to give Tech the lead for good, pushing the Golden Eagles out front, 7-6.
Four more runs in the seventh and eighth innings proved to be enough to hold off Northwestern, which attempted a late rally in the ninth.
Game two of the series is set for a 2 p.m. CT start Saturday, as Golden Eagle junior David Hess takes on Northwestern lefty Matt Portland at Bush Stadium at the Averitt Express Baseball Complex.

Congratulations to Joan Allen, Viola Davis and Helen Hunt, who will all attend the Chicago International Film Festival (Oct. 11-25) to accept a Silver Hugo award for "significant achievements and contributions to the arts," the fest announced this morning.
Davis is certainly the most active of the three right now, next appearing in "Won't Back Down," opening Sept. 28.

Pembroke burglary takes donations meant for brain cancer patientBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 24. 2013 9:26PM
PEMBROKE - Donations meant to help a cancer patient who works at the Serendipity Day Spa were among the items stolen in an overnight burglary there, owner Holly Dufresne Rodrigues said Saturday.
Rodrigues said employees found the back door ajar and several items missing, including cash, computers and other equipment. Also missing was a safe containing donations for employee Jaime Taylor-Harper, who is in a Boston hospital with Stage 4 brain cancer, Rodrigues said.
"The spa belongings are all covered by insurance," she said. "But the things in the safe weren't. And (the donations) just mean so much more to me beyond any of things that can be replaced."
Taylor-Harper was married shortly before being diagnosed and recently celebrated her two-year wedding anniversary, Rodrigues said. She said she hasn't told Taylor-Harper about the theft "because she has enough going on already."
In addition to cash, some of items included Red Sox tickets and gift certificates donated by spa clients and many area businesses, she said.
"It was just an incredible outpouring of community support," she said. The theft "was just so upsetting."
The spa is asking that anyone who made a donation contact the business at 229-0400 so employees can compile a list.

The Falls of Rauros were the great falls of River Anduin beneath Nen Hithoel, where the river fell from Emyn Muil to the wetland of Nindalf.
At the breaking of the Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo and Sam paddled a boat from the west bank of the river to the east just above the falls and had to use all their strength to avoid being swept over the falls by the current. Shortly afterward Boromir's body was placed in another boat by Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli who sent it over the falls, but it apparently survived the fall; at any rate, soon afterward it was seen by Faramir upon the lower reaches of the Anduin in what felt to him like a dream yet from which there was no waking, and he retrieved Boromir's cloven horn in truth and not in seeming.

That's one of the first times I've heard an ex NFL player say that. They usually say they'd do it again in a heartbeat."I never thought it would be like this," Walker told The Record. "If I knew I would end up like this, hell no. Not on your life (would I have played). I'd find another career."
One of my favorite Jets of all time with Freeman and Klecko.
I hope things work out soon.

Everyone chipping in on offence for Blackhawks
It's hard enough keeping the Chicago Blackhawks top guns in check.
When members of the supporting cast are loading up multi-point games, catching the Hawks is about as tough as grabbing water with bare hands.
Add Brandon Saad (right) to the lengthy list of Blackhawks to give the Minnesota Wild something to think about. Saad not only scored his first NHL playoff goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Wild, but added another to snap a 19-game scoring drought with authority.
"Huge relief. It's easy to talk about to keep battling through it, but to finally get one feels good," said Saad, the third-line winger. "You have to keep rolling now.
"Even though the pucks weren't going in for me, I was feeling like I was playing well. Just sticking with the little things and hoping for the best."
A couple of members of Chicago's star-studded crew played their part in the win, with Jonathan Toews opening the scoring and Marian Hossa pocketing three assists, but the production with further down the roster with performances from Saad and Bryan Bickell, who scored once and collected two assists.
Bickell, whose regular season output was well below expectations, is on a roll, with five goals and eight points in these playoffs.
"I know the fans were kind of all over me at the start of the year. With the season and then injuries kind of set me back a couple of steps," Bickell said. "Hopefully I can erase that regular season with a good playoffs and a good run this year. I'm going to do whatever it takes. It's going good right now."

The Volusia County Beach Patrol has been the law on the county's beaches for 16 years, but the newly elected county chair wants to see sheriff's deputies patrolling the sands instead — an idea the sheriff has supported for a long time, too.
The Volusia County Beach Patrol has been the law on the county's beaches for 16 years, but the newly elected county chair wants to see sheriff's deputies patrolling the sands instead — an idea the sheriff has supported for a long time, too.
The Beach Patrol of recent years could soon face big changes if County Chair-elect Jason Davis gets his way — or if other council members who want a "demilitarized" beach get theirs.
"If these guys are certified law enforcement officers, take them off the beach, put them in a patrol car," Davis said recently of his plans for the Beach Patrol. "We're already paying their salaries, so guess what? They should fit very nicely in a nice little patrol car."
For about 25 years, Volusia's beaches have been unified under one large agency. The county, after a voter-approved charter amendment, took control of the entire beach in the 1980s, relieving Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, Ponce Inlet and New Smyrna Beach of managing the stretches within each city's borders.
In 1996, the County Council approved cross-training its full-time lifeguards as law enforcement officers, and the Beach Patrol became a rare hybrid lifesaving-policing force. While the tower guards are often seasonal employees with no police training, the officers patrol the beach and make ocean rescues, too.
Throughout this complex arrangement, the county has been through lawsuits to protect nesting sea turtles, beach driving accidents involving officers and the public, and a Beach Patrol underage sex investigation. Still, it managed the beach with little or no pushback from cities like New Smyrna Beach, which strongly opposed the unified beach plan in the beginning.
It also became a more heavily police-focused force than cities like Daytona Beach originally wanted. At one point, Beach Patrol officers had radar guns to catch speeders.
Today, managing the beach costs about $13 million. About $5.4 million is for the Beach Patrol, with $1.6 million for "beach safety specialists" and seasonal lifeguards. And the county says it's trying to tone down the law enforcement and make the beach a friendlier place.
During this year's campaign for County Chair, Davis signaled he'd pursue a change. Initially, he described a plan to go back to the cities first; then, of those that turned it down, hand over the rest to the Sheriff's Office.
One of the challenges of that plan is the logistics of dividing a beach and dealing with potentially different rules in each section. In 1986, for example, just before the county took over, three cities charged tolls, two didn't. Parking rules varied. New Smyrna Beach allowed alcohol, while the others banned it.
Under the terms that created the countywide beach, any of the cities can take back their portion, anyway — if they notify the county by May 1 each year. None have attempted that.
The Beach Patrol-deputy discussion, though, goes beyond just what type of officer is on the beach. Some have been questioning how many officers are really needed there in the first place.
"When the county took over the beach, what we were promised was park rangers," said incoming County Councilman Doug Daniels, whose district includes the county's northernmost beaches. "We were promised a demilitarized beach. Why it needed to be militarized with law enforcement, I don't know. Maybe we have a lot of criminals out there in swimsuits. Maybe that's the type of tourist we're attracting, but if it is, we need to rethink what we're doing.
"It's kind of hard to pack a gun in a Speedo," Daniels added.
Councilman Josh Wagner, who grew up along the beach and whose district includes Daytona's beachside, agreed the council needs to talk about how to balance beach policing and lifeguarding going forward.
"It isn't simply a question of changing officers for officers," Wagner said of the deputies-or-Beach Patrol debate. "The question is do you want to change the service level and the way we handle the beach?
"Do you want less officers and more lifeguards?" he asked. "Because that is cheaper. And in my opinion, I do think we need to soften up the beaches a little bit. I've said it many times, I think we've sterilized it."
Sheriff Ben Johnson has often said he believes his should be the only law enforcement agency in the county, and shifting the beach to the Sheriff's Office would give the county more flexibility. During times when the beach doesn't need many officers — during storms or other slow periods, for example — a sheriff's deputy could be redeployed to another part of the county to patrol or serve warrants.
The Beach Patrol is just one of seven divisions of the county's Public Protection Department, while the Sheriff's Office is a separate county agency with three divisions of its own.
The sheriff's administration says it hasn't run any official estimates of what a takeover would cost or how much manpower it would require. But in 2006, when the idea was already floating around, Johnson estimated the switch could save taxpayers about $870,000.
"This obviously is a political decision that rests with the County Council, which must weigh many factors when deciding what's best for the citizens," sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said in an email. "However, if asked to assume law enforcement duties on the county's beaches, Sheriff Johnson certainly would be willing to accept that responsibility."
County Manager Jim Dinneen, while he said he trusts and respects Johnson highly, flatly disagreed with him on any potential savings.
"There's no savings at all," Dinneen said. "Zero. It actually would cost more money."
The county has already been making practical and philosophical changes to the Beach Patrol. It's been phasing out Ford F-150s in favor of smaller pickups and utility vehicles and placed more emphasis on the "park ranger" service Daniels mentioned. Officers made 654 arrests in 2011 compared to 543 mid-way through December 2012.
It also has an interim director, Volusia's former corrections director Marilyn Chandler Ford, who replaced the longtime director Kevin Sweat.
Outgoing District 3 Councilwoman Joie Alexander, who's been on the council 10 years, said she'd entrust the beach to a sheriff like Johnson — but noted he won't always be sheriff. With the council determining what Dinneen does with the Beach Patrol, the power is divided among seven elected officials.
"If we could be guaranteed that the sheriff would always be like a Ben Johnson, then yeah," Alexander said. "But if it is not — and you never know, because it's an elected official — then it could be not as manageable."
The issue isn't among the first Davis plans to press as County Chair, but it's expected to become one of the mini-budget workshops the county manager holds throughout the next year.
Davis said he remembers the old beach as a simpler place.
"We'd maybe have somebody speed down the beach a little bit, but for the most part we didn't have the problem of people getting run over by cops," he said. "We didn't have inappropriate actions by cops. When you have situations like that, what happens is, it brings a bad vision on local law enforcement. Everybody is heaped into one big pile.
"Believe me, I know that there are going to be certain individuals throughout the county, throughout the government, that aren't going to agree with what I want to do," he added. "But my job is to build consensus to do what I've got to do."

The other day, I discussed baffled bloggers — the disproportionately large group of our fellow hobbyists who find the decision between Bush and Kerry nearly impossible to make. It seems that some readers prefer their bloggers "baffled." Glenn Reynolds (who does not appear ever to have been particularly baffled by this year's choice) reports that one of his readers says he's disappointed to see him "abandoning ambiguity to support Bush." My hope is that those who find our present situation this perplexing embrace the ambiguity of it all and stay home on Tuesday.

Ghah! Our Ears! People Who Looooove To Sing Even Though They Can't Sing For S***
Celebrities Who Can't Really Sing
We all love to sing. It's great. We do it in the shower, on the way to work or in the quiet of our living rooms when no one is around. It's so fun. But that doesn't mean we should actually go out and try to make millions singing if we suck at it. These musicians didn't get that memo. They go out and make full albums featuring full-on struggle singing.
These celebrities have tried and tried and still can't sing for shizzle. SMH.
Lil Wayne – There's not enough autotune in the world to make his voice not sound like the Wicked Witch of the West under a waterfall.
Keri Hilson – Ms. Keri should just stick to being sweaty and dancing. All that singing stuff isn't for her.

This was my grandmother's car that I acquired in 2008. She didn't really take care of it but it was garage kept, so it stayed away from any hard deterioration. I take care of it to the best of my ability, keeping it shiny and intact. I hit a deer in 2010 and paid $2,000 to have most of the front replaced by a local company that knew my family. She also had a factory defect involving the camshaft that caused her to break down twice, but that has since been resolved (to my knowledge). And as of May 2013, I have a freshly rebuilt transmission!

I didn't even realize this blog would still be up and active. I haven't posted here in over a year. And it shows. My weight is… 214.6 – Up 50 lbs in a year. Less really. I was right around 200 by Christmas. It's gone up and down and up and down. And UP. So here I am. Starting all over again. Part of me wonders why bother. It's so much work. And effort. But then I remember how great I felt at a lower weight. How I could move more and not be so insanely self-conscious. I feel so bad about myself now. Like just totally disgusted with myself. And everytime I look in the mirror I think "what have I done to myself?!" I feel like a big, bloated, blobby mess.
I'm picking up an elliptical tomorrow that I'm buying on Craigslist. I used to have my mom's but she wanted it back. So now it sits piled under crap in her office. Whatever. I have a tread mill but I hate it. I just can't seem to make myself walk on it consistently. I loved the elliptical. These last 20 lbs have piled on since I "lost" it. 🙁 I miss running but know I am no where near ready to put that kind of stress on my legs. Not after the stress fractures last year.
I'm sitting here at my desk now and just feel so useless. I wish I wasn't so down on myself, but I can't help it. I spent a lot of money on my hair yesterday, getting the color done and a good cut. And you know what, I don't look any better. Getting my hair done used to really be a guaranteed boost in my self-confidence. Today – nothing. It almost feels like it was a waste of money. Like nothing I do is going to help. I know that's crap, but still. It's how I feel right now. Wah Wah Wah. Whine Whine Whine.
So today, right this second, I am committed to being back on the program. Counting calories, exercising, and getting myself back on track. I should take an post a BEFORE picture. Just as an official "this is where I started" starting point. Something to look back on and see how (hopefully) far I've come.

Does anyone know of, I should say a few years ago when I worked at a factory branch, there was a gentleman who came in and did training for another manufacturer's equipment and gave us tear down training. I think he was from texas and he trained techs on Carrier, York, McQuay and Trane.
Does anyone know who this guy is and how to get a hold of him?

"If you consider NetApplications' data set, then Linux owns only about 1 percent of the desktop OS market and Windows has almost 92 percent. But if you consider all computing platforms, including mobile, than Windows has only 20 percent and Linux has 42 percent - and that would be in the form of Google's Android alone." No more or less legitimate than claiming Windows owns 92% of the market. It's all a matter of perspective.

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — With turkey leftovers still in the refrigerator South Berwick and Rollinsford hosted their 31st annual Christmas Parade, as tradition has it, on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, bringing early holiday spirit to the community.
Bernie Mushorn, 88, followed behind the South Berwick and Rollinsford police officers who opened the parade, driving a silver 1988 Lincoln with a sign on the front door letting the crowd know that the Lion's Club started the parade in 1982.
"Thirty-one years ago we started it and tonight I have everyone here, kids and parents from the parade drinking hot chocolate and eating doughnuts," Mushorn, past commander of the American Legion Post 47 in Rollinsford, where the Lion's Club of South Berwick and Rollinsford meet, said.
"I turned the parade over to the town of South Berwick five years ago, but I still help out. I'm 88 years old, driving a 1988 car, staying active and feisty and keeping them on their toes."
Before getting warm inside the Legion, children and parents passed out candy to the crowd, sang carols, blasted holiday music from their floats and dressed up as gifts and Christmas trees.
The Marshwood High School marching band played Jingle Bells through downtown South Berwick, before continuing down past Fogarty's restaurant and into Rollinsford. The South Berwick Memorial Post 5744 Veterans of Foreign Affairs, Girl and Cub Scout troops, South Berwick Public Library, Marshwood Little Hawks football and cheerleading squads, Seacoast Christian Academy, Leaps and Bounds Learning Center and Joy of Learning also had floats in the parade, waving to friends and family members with cold, bright red noses, feeling the brisk air of winter coming quickly into the holiday season.
Float riders played bells and blew whistles to keep with the theme of the parade, "The Sights and Sounds of Christmas," and sat on hay bales covered in fake snow with snowmen and lights hanging on the side, advertising their organization or company, wishing everyone a happy holiday.
Finishing off the parade were over a dozen fire and rescue trucks from South Berwick and Rollinsford. With their lights shining and engines roaring, kids smiled in awe of these big, real, live trucks, as if they saw their own toys coming to life.
Rebecca Jalbert, a South Berwick firefighter, said she has walked in the parade every year she has worked for the department, collecting toys from people for the fire station's annual toy drive.
"We collect toys and monetary donations which we turn into food baskets," she said. "Last year we had 32 food baskets and 400 or 500 toys for children in need."
Jalbert said people can donate unwrapped and new toys to Pepperland Cafe and Dunkin' Donuts in downtown South Berwick throughout the month of December. Gifts will be given to the local schools to deliver to those who may not have as much as others children under the tree on Christmas morning.
For more information on how to donate to the South Berwick Fire Department Annual Toy Drive, call (207) 384-2731.

Wheat prices have been in a precipitous decline since they brushed close to $10 per bushel highs back in August. Recent reports were mostly bullish.
The Jan. 11 U.S. quarterly stocks report was neutral for wheat, with Dec. 1 inventories just about two million bushels above traders' guesstimates. The January crop report, however, increased the estimate for feed-wheat usage by a more substantial 35 million bushels. That surprised traders and drew the estimate for ending stocks down from last month by a like amount.
The winter wheat planting report was equally bullish. The street was expecting farmers to have taken advantage of what are still historically very high prices, and plant lots of winter wheat. The acreage guesstimate called for a jump from last year, by 1.364 million acres, to 42.687 million acres. The actual figure came in at 41.82 million acres. Using the average of the planted/harvested ratio and yield over the past three years, the difference between the guesstimate and the actual figure is about 35 million bushels.
The initial reaction to the outlook for lower supplies for both the current 2012-13 and upcoming 2013-14 marketing years sparked a 60¢-per-bushel rally. There has been no follow through, though, as the market consolidates the gains.
The smaller acreage estimate is exacerbated by poor weather for the winter wheat crop that was planted last fall. The key growing regions are suffering from low soil moisture. Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, and Oklahoma are in desperate need of either snow or rain to replenish moisture. Millions of acres are at risk, with Kansas, the largest wheat producing state, in the worst shape.

Phil Mickelson could become the Gerard Depardieu of California.
Phil Mickelson could become the Gerard Depardieu of California.
The professional golfer is feeling put upon these days because the passage of Proposition 30 by California means that as a high-income earner, his state taxes are going up.
Mickelson complains that he's about to get clipped for 60 percent of his income.
Of course, not all that's California, not by a long shot. As part of the deal cut to avoid the fiscal cliff, Congress on Dec. 31 agreed to bump federal income taxes on the wealthiest Americans, too.
Depardieu, the French actor, didn't like it when his government bumped taxes on the rich. He initially vacated Paris in favor of a village in Belgium, just across the border from his native land. Then he decided he'd become a citizen of Russia, where income taxes - and they have the public services to prove it - are a paltry 13 percent (although to get that rate, you have actually live in Russia 182 days of the year).
But if Mickelson wants to do a Depardieu, he's going to have to go farther than the state border to escape the temperate climes and taxes of California.
Mickelson's threat, which he later apologized for making public, was fodder for some Republican lawmakers who complained about high taxes driving the successful from the state. And golfer Tiger Woods chimed in, noting he'd moved to Florida, where there's no state income tax. "I moved out of here back in '96 for that reason,'' Woods said of his home state.
That doesn't exactly square with a study last summer by two Stanford researchers. They found no net effect in migration out of or into California by the rich after voters in 2004 passed Proposition 63, a 1 percent income-tax hike on millionaires to pay for mental health programs. The study's authors said "the highest-income Californians were less likely to leave the state after the millionaire tax was passed."

Mass. police seek 'Merrimack Valley Bandit'
April 10. 2013 5:11PM
BOSTON -- A task force of Massachusetts law enforcement agencies is seeking the public's assistance to identify a bank robber responsible for seven armed robberies in northeastern Massachusetts since February.
Police said the "Merrimack Valley Bandit" is considered armed and dangerous.
According to officials, during each robbery he used a small handgun and pointed t at the tellers. In some, the robber threatened to harm the tellers should they not comply with his commands. Police said he might have had an accomplice waiting nearby in a white or light-colored car.
A task force composed of the FBI and police departments from Lawrence, Methuen, Dracut, and Groveland is asking the public to review photos of the robber at https://bankrobbers.fbi.gov
A white logo on a jacket worn in one of the robberies may be recognizable by someone familiar with the suspect.
Although the specific design is not distinguishable in the surveillance photos, it may provide useful information about the identity of the robber, police said. The robber is described as having thin eyebrows.
Additionally, through a partnership with Clear Channel, digital billboards in the Merrimack Valley will be used to seek tips from the public.
The same person is alleged to be responsible for the following Massachusetts robberies:
- 02/21/2013 at approximately 6:30 pm, TD Bank, 547 Broadway, Methuen;
- 03/01/2013 at approximately 7:45 pm, TD Bank, 91 Pleasant Valley St., Methuen;
- 03/12/2013 at approximately 10:30 am, NESC Credit Union, 248 Pleasant St. Methuen;
- 03/28/2013 at approximately 5:24 pm, TD Bank, 350 South Broadway, Lawrence;
- 04/03/2013 at approximately 4:15 pm, TD Bank, 350 South Broadway, Lawrence;
- 04/08/2013 at approximately 5:29 pm, TD Bank, 1255 Bridge St., Dracut;
- 04/09/2013 at approximately 2:12 pm, TD Bank, 280 Main St, Groveland;

A side comment on satya (sutrua II.36) which elaborates on truth or satya, and has a deep personal meaning to me. When I started my yoga teacher training with Ana Forrest in 2006, she talked a lot of be "speaking the truth". At that time I embarked on telling the truth, no matter how inconvenient, to my children. I realized that for years, I was telling what I considered to be "white lies" to get them to do what I wanted them to do. For example, "Get in the car, that TV show is over now" when in fact it was not. As my kids got older they observed this behavior, and believed it was alright to lie. (As a side note, I began to recall my mother doing the same thing to me, and me realizing that she was lying, and then thinking it was OK to do that. The cycle had to broken).
I started telling them the truth. "That show is not over but we have to go now." I got into a lot more conflicts. It was difficult. Sometimes I went backwards in my vow but I always returned to truth telling.
When I started Iyengar training, this yama became my most important because I realized all the damage I had done. My now teenage kids were lying to me about where they were among other things. They often accused me of lying. With each time I did not lie to them, they became a bit more trusting that I didn't lie. This process took years. I am still amazed at the damage I caused by "white lies".
However onto stealing or asteya: I was aware of this sutra growing up Catholic, not as a sutra, but as one of the 10 commandments: Thou shall not steal.
Would a criminal believe that precious jewels will come if they do not steal? The jewels this sutra discusses are not the worldly jewels of course.
Iyengar: When abstention from stealing is firmly established, precious jewels come.
Iyengar says that if the sadhaka is without desire (the root of stealing), then he "effortlessly attracts what is precious, materially and figuratively, including the gem of all jewels, virtue." I recently had a discussion about my son about cheating in his high school, which he says is rampant. He says he doesn't see anything wrong with it. Besides being dishonest, it is also a form of stealing I told him, from others who actually did not cheat. Stealing of their time they studied and perhaps given them a worse grade on the bell curve. As we have further talked about it over several occasions, he told me of a time he had the opportunity to cheat, he didn't study for a test, and decided to tell the teacher he was not prepared. The teacher made him take the test and he failed. But I told him I was proud of him because he told the truth and didn't steal a grade. I sensed he felt the integrity he gained from doing so, despite the pain of a bad grade.
Bryant: When one is established in refrainment from stealing, all jewels manifest.
Bryant says some commentators offer a view where we see "jewels suddenly flying through the air toward the accomplished yogi." One commentator things the jewels are noble hearted people as well as useful things.
Taimni: On being firmly established in honesty all kinds of gems present themselves.
Taimni points out that jewels means that the yogi becomes aware of "all kinds of precious treasures in his vicinity" and this can also represent some kind of clairvoyance or intuition. He also points out that stealing is part of nature. He also says that these desires are binding and cause us misery, which is related to the klesha called raga: reaching for things we desire.
Carerra: To one established in truthfulness, actions and their results become subservient.
Carerra talks about incessant craving and says this sutra is about being content with what we are given and eventually about generosity. "The more selflessly we give, the more we receive. It's the law of karma and good business too." We see this sentiment in the Bible as well. Carerra says "Our wealth is defined not by our material possessions but our relationship to them."

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 25, 50, 75, and 100 years ago from the Newport Daily News comes from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago From the Newport Daily News, January 8, 1907:
Dr. H. Warren Buckler of Baltimore has leased the Littlefield cottage on Union street for the season of 1907. Dr. Buckler has taken over the office fixtures of Dr. D. B. Birney and will practice here during the summer.
From the Newport Daily News, January 10, 1907:
A 60-pound codfish was caught yesterday with hook and line in the west bay by Mr. Andrew King.
From the Newport Daily News, January 15, 1907:
Three-masted schooner Bravo, from St. Martin, Danish West Indies, for Boston, with a cargo of salt, has been anchored in Dutch Island harbor several days awaiting favorable weather.
75 years ago From the Newport Daily News, January 7, 1932:
A meeting of the Board of Trade was held Tuesday evening, with a large number of members attending. . . . A letter from the Jamestown Coal Company was received in which additional coal with that already donated is to be received by the board to distribute to the unemployed.
From the Newport Daily News, January 8, 1932:
A meeting of the Jamestown Philomenian Library was held at the library this week when the librarian reported that there are 10,468 volumes in the library and the number of volumes in circulation during the year amounted to 10,672. Under the card system adopted in 1930, 826 cards have been issued to date and 347 new books have been acquired during the past year.
50 years ago From the Newport Daily News, January 9, 1957:
Jamestown's school budget of $139,873 for 1957-58, as approved by the School Committee last night, is an increase of $11,417 over last year. The salary schedule for teachers in the system, setting a minimum of $3,400 effective September 1, 1957, is an increase of $200 over this year. . . . In addition to raising teachers' salaries, tuition costs jumped $1,344 for town pupils at Rogers High School
From the Newport Daily News, January 10, 1957:
The Jamestown Protective Association, which is opposing the proposed erection of an oil refinery on the isaccept land, has appealed to the National Park Service for "help in resisting the attempt to destroy a great natural recreational area."
From the Newport Daily News, January 14, 1957:
Robert Potter of East Shore Road and Arthur Lathan of North Road who won the striped bass tournament conducted by the Jamestown Striper's Club received prizes yesterday afternoon at the club's annual banquet in St. Mark's parish hall. More than 100 members and guests attended.
25 years ago From the Newport Daily News, January 8, 1982:
William Wharton Smith III has become the first county resident to be able to sell electricity to the Newport Electric Corp. The electricity will come from his windmill. . . . Smith's windmill is a Jacobs from a ranch in Montana. It was made in the 1930s. The windmill and the support equipment are surplus items, a factor that kept the costs down to between $3,000 and $4,000. A new system of comparable size would cost about $10,000. The windmill is capable or producing 300 to 600 kilowatts a month but half that production remains in Smith's storage batteries. It is able to produce enough electricity to provide his household needs and run a small workshop.
Jamestown's 65 volunteer firefighters can feel a little more secure when they battle blazes and rescue people. The late George Chandler's will provides $150,000 of his estate for the volunteer Fire Department's relief fund. That sum is ten times as much as the fund contained before.
From the Newport Daily News, January 12, 1982:
Three prominent engineering firms have been selected to assist in designing the new Jamestown Bridge, Wendall J. Flanders, director of the state Department of Transportation, announced today. The firms are Sverdrup & Parcel of St. Louis, Mo., for the role of management consultants; T. Y. Lin International of San Francisco, selected for design for a concrete bridge; and Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff of Kansas City, Mo., selected for the design of a steel bridge.
The Jamestown Town Council agreed Monday night to a proposed new Jamestown Bridge no wider than 62 feet. The bridge is to have four 12-foot travel lanes, a central barrier and two breakdown lanes.
15 years ago From the January Press, January 9, 1992:
Town Council members agreed in principle last Saturday to reduce their salaries by 10 percent in the coming year. The move was a good faith effort made by the council to show its effort to create a lean 1992-93 budget. Council members earned $1,710 each under the 1991-92 budget.
The Jamestown Philomenian Library will receive a $700,000 loan to begin building a proposed $1.2 million addition.
Nineteen birders participated in the 8th annual Conanicut Island Christmas Bird Count on Tuesday, Dec. 29. Four birders watched their bird feeders, while the remainder were field observers. The mild weather in the morning was quite ideal for birding in spite of the clouds and impending rain; the afternoon was not so inviting with wind and rain. The total number of species counted was 62, significantly higher than last year and, in fact, the second highest total of Christmas Bird Counts in Jamestown.
The Town Council closed out 1991 on a controversial note as residents of the island's north end voiced opposition to the state's proposed plan to improve North Road and one council member refused to endorse the statemandated comprehensive community plan.
About 300 hardy souls waddled into the bay at Mackerel Cove town beach on New Year's Day for the 16th annual Jamestown Penguin Plunge. It was a sunny, beautiful day capped by blue skies. The thermometer climbed toward the 50-degree mark, while the water temperature was a warm 44 degrees.
10 years ago From the Jamestown Press, January 9, 1997:
Issues relating to equability in hourly wages for nonteachers dominated the Jamestown School Committee's Tuesday night budget work session. Citing difficulties in hiring and keeping help in some lower-paying positions, the committee agreed to raise some hourly wages beyond the 3.5 percent across-the-board increases they are targeting for the upcoming school year.
The Jamestown Fire Department recently paid off its $157,000 loan from the Bank of Newport for an almost new engine and tanker. The two fire trucks were purchased about two years ago for $207,000.

Amazon is offering price cuts on its Kindle Fire HD tablets, using this month's Valentine's Day as the focus of its latest tablet promotion.
The e-commerce giant has knocked $30 off the cost of the 16GB Wi-Fi-only 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD, leaving it with a $269 price tag. The discount is also available with the 32GB version, meaning you'll only have to fork out $339 instead of the usual $369.
A more generous $50 discount is being offered with the 4G LTE versions of Amazon's 8.9-inch tablet, reducing the 32GB model to $449 and the top-of-the-range 64GB offering to $549.
To secure the discount, you need to enter the promotion code – Firelove – on the checkout page.
It's not the first time the company has discounted the devices since they first hit the market in 2011. In December it knocked $50 off the 8.9-inch models of the Fire in a one-day sale, while last month students were offered a price cut in a longer promotion that finished up last week.
Amazon is hoping to pick up a few extra Kindle Fire sales by linking the promotion to Valentine's Day. A tongue-in-cheek release from the company outlines various ways that "Kindle can act as Cupid and make Valentine's Day special for you and your significant other".
It suggests "lovebirds" use a Kindle Fire to watch romantic comedies or, "if you're ever apart from your loved one", to use Skype on the tablet to stay in touch.
For singletons, the Seattle-based company suggests you "show yourself some love with any Kindle device and spend February 14th and beyond with your favorite rom-coms or perhaps indulge with a few spicy chapters of 50 Shades."
The US-based offer runs until February 8 and is limited to one tablet per customer.
If you do happen to take advantage of Amazon's offer, be sure to check out DT's selection of recommended apps for the device.

The first day of free agency passed quietly in Foxboro, but it's been the fast and the furious since then, with Bill Belichick intent on ensuring that $25 million in cap space doesn't burn a hole in his hoodie pocket.
On Wednesday, the Patriots lost slot receiver Wes Welker to the Denver Broncos and moved quickly to replace him with former St. Louis Ram Danny Amendola.
Running back and returner Leon Washington, an ex-Jet who spent the last three seasons in Seattle playing for Pete Carroll, was brought into the fold Thursday on a one-year deal.
And on Friday the Patriots plucked five-time Pro Bowl safety Adrian Wilson away from Arizona and receiver Donald Jones from AFC East rival Buffalo. They also re-signed versatile cornerback Kyle Arrington for four more seasons, while losing popular running back Danny Woodhead to the San Diego Chargers.
Wilson, 33, should immediately bolster the back end of the Patriots defense. The 13-year veteran has 27 career interceptions and 25-1/2 sacks. He was released by the Cardinals on March 8.
According to espnboston, Amendola signed for $28.5 million over five years with $11 million guaranteed in the form of a $6 million signing bonus and a $2 million salary for each of the first two seasons. Original reports set the package at $31 million with $10 million guaranteed.
The Patriots are really banking on Amendola being a capable replacement for Welker.
The fact they share so many similarities — both went undrafted out of Texas Tech and are undersized receivers who do their best work over the middle — makes comparisons inevitable. Amendola understands that and doesn't appear bothered by them.
"About all those comparisons to Wes, I've been hearing it for a long time," the fifth-year pro said Friday during a conference call. "We went to the same college and I've been watching him play for a long time. He's a great player, he's been to a lot of Pro Bowls and he's done a lot of great things to help the Patriots win.
"One of my main goals is to fulfill my role and try to do what I can to help the Patriots win as well."
Amendola is listed at 5-foot-11 and 188 pounds, making him a couple of inches taller and a few pounds heavier than Welker. He's also 27, which makes him nearly five years younger than Welker.
While Amendola has primarily worked out of the slot, he would prefer not to be typecast.
"I did a number of things last year from the outside," said Amendola, who caught 63 passes for 666 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games last season. "Whatever my role is on each play, that's just what I have to do. I have to do my job. That's pretty much it, regardless of whether it's inside or outside.
"I want to be a football player. You never want to be labeled as just a slot or just an outside guy. You want to feel like you can move guys around and create mismatches and whatnot."
Amendola's most productive season came in 2010 when he caught 85 passes in 16 games.
Since then he's missed 20 games due to an assortment of injuries.
That would be 17 games more than Welker missed during his six seasons in New England.
"Being a football player, you have to understand that it's a football game," Amendola said. "Injuries sometimes happen. The best way to go about things is to stay positive and work on other areas, so to speak, if you can't necessarily play because you're out."
Amendola, who met briefly with Tom Brady on Thursday, won't be the only new face in the receivers' meeting room due to the addition of Jones.
Jones spent his first three seasons in Buffalo after making the Bills as an undrafted rookie out of Division 1-AA Youngstown State in 2010. The 6-foot, 208-pounder had 41 receptions for 443 yards and four TDs in 12 games last season.
Strangely enough, the Bills took a pass on tendering Jones, making him an unrestricted free agent. The timing of the signing is interesting to New Englanders.
According to multiple reports, the Patriots spent Friday talking with receiver Brandon Lloyd about restructuring his contract. It would appear they'd like to avoid paying him a $3 million roster bonus that's due this weekend.
Both Jones and Lloyd are considered outside possession receivers, so you can see where this might be headed if Lloyd doesn't agree to a pay cut.
In addition, the Patriots held an open house Friday for a handful of free agents at Gillette Stadium.
On defense, they visited with pass-rushing ends Dwight Freeney (formerly of the Colts) and John Abraham (Falcons). Both veterans are unrestricted FAs and at least 33 years old.
They also hosted third-year receiver Emmanuel Sanders, a restricted free agent who would cost the Patriots a third-round draft choice were they able to pry him away from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But Will It Blend!?!?
In my travels around the globe and the tubes I see interesting and entertaining things such as Will It Blend?
Today I got interesting news from an area I didn't think had any left. So I get an e-mail out of the blue with people local to me that are as interested in hackerspaces as much as I am, but they don't know they even exist until now!
Allow me to introduce the BlueServ Team; A group of Chicago high school students with a penchant for remote control and home automation. For those that need complete control in your life when you either need to blend an iPhone on demand, or make a really good smoothie but remotely your all set.
I was equally surprised that they haven't heard of Roboexotica. I wouldn't hold it against them though, they are in the US and are under 21. To conclude, I foresee some fierce competition coming from the Midwest in the next few years pertaining to the international cocktail robotics circuit and back ally gin joint cocktail fights.
I'll be listing code and plans as they come in.
