PORTSMOUTH --“Next to Normal”, a Pu-
litzer Prize winning musical at the Player’s Ring Theater, will showcase artists from Seacoast Mental Health Center’s Art of Recovery Program, with a spe-cial post show discussion on Sunday, March 9.
“Next to Normal” explores how one woman’s struggle with mental illness affects her family.
Staff at The Players’ Ring and Seacoast Mental Health Center are working together to promote the center’s Art of Recovery Program and create awareness of mental health issues facing families.
In a special collaboration Seacoast Mental Health Center (SMHC) and the New Hamp-shire Art Association, the Art of Recovery (AOR) pairs commu-nity-oriented professional art-ists with talented SMHC client artists to create original art. Artwork created within the 2014 AOR program will be sold at an auction and dinner on Friday, June 13 at the Portsmouth
PORTSMOUTH -Your donation can help
protect marine mammals in the Gulf of Maine and could cata-pult the Blue Ocean Society to a victory that might mean an additional $10,000 to the con-servation organization. The society is among only twenty charities in the country to be selected for Moosejaw and Pa-tagonia’s “Crowd raise $10,000 Charity Thing.” It is the only participant from the entire New England region to be chosen to participate in the challenge.
Moosejaw and Patago-nia are giving the top charity that raises the most money a $5,000 donation, with $3,000 for second place, and $2,000 to third place finishers. The chal-
lenge runs until 11:59a.m. on March 13.
Jen Kennedy, Blue Ocean’s executive director and co-founder, explains that Blue Ocean’s mission is to protect marine mammals in the Gulf of Maine through education, re-search and conservation.
This society is hands-on, actively involved with beach clean-ups and getting rid of marine debris underwater. Ken-nedy observes that while the ocean may appear to be clean, many problems lurk beneath the surface, which affect the health of our ecosystem.
In 2007, Blue Ocean So-ciety co-founders Jen Kennedy and Dianna Schulte were hon-ored with the Gulf of Maine
Visionary Award, which rec-ognized their commitment to ocean health and education.
If you’d like to support this worthwhile cause, now is the time. Kennedy says donations of $10 or more to Blue Ocean will be credited toward the Challenge. At press time almost $1,500 had been raised. Ken-nedy says Blue Ocean doesn’t have a specific fundraising goal. “We just want to win”, she says. “If one of the other 19 organiza-tions raises $10,000 we want to raise $10, 001.

This two-day living history event will feature historians in period clothing to demonstrate musket firing, military drills, equipment and uniforms of the “King’s Own” soldiers. There will also be period cooking and displays of everyday life in the 18th century.
During the tumultuous time of the American Revolution no one could tell how the nation
would emerge. The men and women who remained on the side of the Royal government served with the same patriotic spirit and devotion as the Revolutionary forces that fought to overthrow it. The struggle divided commu-nities, neighbors, and families. Learn about this seldom-told side of the American Revolution

and Donna Kelly have com-bined their interests in art, working with different textures and fabrics and a love for the New England countryside to create inspired and colorful fabric art on display at Just Us Chickens Gallery in Kittery. An opening reception will be
held on Saturday, March 8 from 2p.m. to 5p.m.
Henderson, who lives in North Berwick, Maine has been creating with color most of her adult life through sewing, quilt-ing, beading, photography and collages. The colors of nature are her inspiration. She discov-ered a crazy quilt pattern a few years ago and adapted it into the
current mini art quilts displayed at the gallery. She combines sewing with beads, shells, drift-wood, bits of pottery and other found objects.
Kelly, who currently lives in North Hampton, began her exploration of art as a pottery student at High Mowing School in Wilton, N.H. Throughout her life she has explored art in many forms, always with the purpose of complementing the original beauty found in nature. Kelly combines objects found on the shores of New England in many of her projects. In the past few years she began creat-ing fiber landscapes inspired by the beauty seen in the skies above New Hampshire and Maine. She uses wool roving and cottons most often used for
quilting, cotton batiks, ribbons and other fabric embellishments as well as glass beads and beach glass in much of her work.
Just Us Chickens is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10a.m. to 5p.m. For more infor-mation Call 207-439-4209.

PORTSMOUTH -In February hundreds
of musicians and bands from around the globe dedicated themselves to recording new albums in 28 days as part of the ninth annual Record Production Month Challenge, a creative call to record 10 songs or 35 minutes of music in a month.

Graduation ceremo-nies and other events
that mark the end of a school year are rife with tradi-tion. Students know it is impor-tant to receive their diplomas but may not have a full under-standing of why that piece of paper can help open so many doors.
Diplomas date back to some of the earliest schools, but were also conferred upon land owners in ancient times by kings and other authority figures. Some military person-nel were also given diplomas to signal land grants that were not subject to taxes. Nowadays diplomas take on a different meaning and vary depending on where one lives in the world.
Graduates who complete a specific course of study are issued diplomas. Diplomas were once written on Ital-ian sheepskin. Although “di-ploma” translates to “folded
papers,” paper was not always an economically viable medium for diplomas. In fact, animal skins were used as recently as the 1950s.
Receiving a degree or di-ploma can be a point of pride in families where older mem-bers may not have had the same educational opportunities as younger members. Many people move to North America for the educational opportunities, and a diploma can symbolize taking advantage of those opportunities.
According to the organiza-tion Do Something, roughly 20 percent of first-time college stu-dents come from parents who have a high school diploma or less. The United States Depart-ment of Education says high school graduation rates have increased since the 2006-2007 school year. Around 80 percent of student who enter high school now earn a regular or advanced diploma. Dropout rates are on the
decline, and a growing number of high school students continue on to two- or four-year degrees.
In Canada, numbers are quite similar. Canada is second only to the United States in the high school completion rate of its working-age population. Statis-tics Canada says that enrollment in Canadian universities contin-ues to increase. Enrollments are now approximately 5 percent larger than they were just a few years ago.
Community colleges are benefitting from this influx of students. Various statistics from the 2010-2011 year point to more than eight million American students enrolled in commu-nity colleges at that time. Com-munity colleges enable students to take core curriculum credits at a less expensive institution and then move on to a four-year school later on to expand on their coursework. This presents a viable option to students who are looking to keep education costs manageable.
The reason so many stu-dents continue to apply them-selves and come out after four or more years with diplomas and degrees is that they realize how competitive the job market can be. Graduates have a distinct advantage over other candi-dates. Some companies will not even consider a job candidate
who does not possess some col-lege education. Other employ-ers pay more depending on the level of education the job candi-dates completed. According to the United States Department of Labor, employees with a bache-lor’s degree earn about 54 percent more on average than those who attended college but didn’t finish. Workers with advanced degrees (master’s, doctoral, etc.) can aver-age $20,000 to $30,000 more per year than those with bachelor’s degrees, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Some students, however,
will insist that failure to have a diploma isn’t a barrier to suc-cess. For example, Richard Branson, the billionaire en-trepreneur who owns Virgin Group, did not graduate high school. But such people are an aberration. Typically, earning a high school diploma and a bachelor’s degree is a key ingre-dient to landing a good job and enjoying professional success.

discuss the topic of hiring in-terns. Attendees will learn what types of internships will best benefit their operations and how to set up internships that ensure success for both the student and entrepreneur.

Dear Computer lady,I use Firefox, Windows 7
and Windows Live Mail. I’d like to know if there
is a setting in Mail that would allow me to read my messages, press the links in the e-mail, but stay in Mail? Each time I press a link it takes me directly to Firefox. I’d like to read my messages in a batch and then check out the Internet when I’m done. It is annoying to have to keep clicking back and forth.
I hope you can help me out.Deidre
Dear Deidre,It sounds like your com-
puter is working the way that it should.
Windows Live Mail is a program for reading email mes-sages. It is not a web browser, so when you click on a link in an email message, your computer switches to your web browser, which in your case is Firefox.
There is no setting that would allow you to stay in Windows Live Mail (WLM) when you click on a link be-cause the links lead to a web page, and WLM is not capable of displaying web pages.
I hope this helps answer your computer question.Elizabeth
Dear Computer Lady,
I have been using Carbo-nite for the past few months but I had a problem that I thought Carbonite would have saved me from but it did not.
I had a virus (or some-thing) that caused a number of my files to get corrupted. When, I went to Carbonite to recover my files I found that the corrupted files had been backed up over my good files.
Many of these backup services only save one copy of your files. Do you know of any backup services that do period-ic backups and keep any prior backups?
I have begun doing back-ups on my external hard drive more often as a result of the problem I ran into. I would like something automated if pos-sible.
Thanks for your help and advice. ~ Debbie
Dear Debbie,When you need to recover
an earlier version of a file that has been backed up with Car-bonite, you can do so with the following directions:
1. Locate the file you want to restore on your computer
2. Right-click on the file.3. In the context menu,
point to, “Carbonite” then click: “Restore previous ver-sions...”
4. A window with avail-
on my computer.Whenever I play “Words
with Friends” an ad from Zynga always comes on, and then I have to wait until I can make a play. Is there any way to block or delete these ads? I cannot seem to find anything that would help get rid of them.
Thank you so much and have a great day!Mary
Dear Mary,I think it depends on what
device you are using to play “Words With Friends”.
If you are using a tablet, such as an iPad or an an-droid tablet, you can purchase “Words With Friends” and the ads will go away. I purchased “Words With Friends” on my iPad for just 99 cents and no longer have to wait for the ads.
If you are playing the game on Facebook, I don’t think you can make the ads go away.Elizabeth

able previous versions will appear. Click on the version you want to restore, and click, “OK” to restore the file.Elizabeth
Dear Computer Lady,I have been saving recipes
and DIY projects in Microsoft OneNote 2010 and was won-dering if there is a way to al-phabetize them?
It would make it handier. Thanks,Judy
Dear Judy,There is not a way to auto-
matically alphabetize the pages in your notebooks.
But you can, drag to tabs for the pages into any order that you desire.
You can also group pages together. Right click on a page, and click: “Make Subpage” to nest the page under the page above it.
Subpages, they can be hidden or revealed by clicking the arrow to the right of the page tab.Elizabeth
Dear Computer Lady,I hope you can supply an
answer to an irritating problem
