In the news

Amazonpreps forCambridgeThe companyplans to open itsfirst outpost inthe Boston areanext year. Soft-ware developerswho are reluctantto relocate to thecompany's Seat-tle headquartersare being toldthat the Cam-bridge office willopen in February.Amazon.com hasalso posted fourresearch scientistjobs on its web-site with the joblocation asBoston.

Warmer-than-average late-fall temperatures have leftlocal ski areas — like BlueHills and Nashoba Valley— and Boston Common’siconic Frog Pond skatingrink all collecting deadleaves.

Frog Pond was closedtwice so far this seasondue to warm weather andThe Charles Hotel post-poned its annual skatingrink opening party twicethis month.

“We’re very disappoint-ed,” said Ariana Ducas, thehotel's marketing coordi-nator. “We’ve had a lot ofcalls about the opening ofthe rink, and we hope toopen this Friday for theChristmas break. Crossyour fingers for coldweather!”

Last weekend’s coldspell snapped the snow-making machines atNashoba Valley into action.

“It was a slow start, weonly had a couple of trailsopen,” said Al Fletcher,Nashoba Valley’s owner.“We have six coverednow, but we’re still onlyhalf-open.”

Fletcher follows theweather closely, but wasn’tworried about a predictedmid-week warm-up. “Thistime of year the sun is notas high, so what we have

should stay in good shape.We’ve invested [millions]in snow-making equip-ment in the last two yearsalone. It’s key to stayingopen,” he said.

While snow-makers getthe trails open, real snow-fall is the psychologicalboost that motivatesskiers.

“The best thing is if wehave a snow storm. That

usually gets people jazzedup about coming out,"Fletcher said, adding thatunseasonable tempera-tures are nothing new forNew England weather.

Any prolonged warmup, however, would bedisastrous.

“I don’t even want totalk like that. That’s notwhat we like,” he said. "Welike it cold and snowy.”

While the holiday sea-son may have started outas a hot mess, the snowmay be right around thecorner. The NationalWeather Service predicteda chance of snow showerson Friday night and Satur-day morning. The hightemperature in Bostonover the next seven dayswas not expected to climbabove 43 degrees.

Apparently, ’tisthe season to bewarm and melty

So far this season, temperatures have climbed well above the norm Skatingrinks, ski areas are a hot mess Seriously, first day of winter — 55 degrees?

Cold temps, early morning flurries finally expected for Friday, weekend

Despite Thursday being the first day of winter, the Frog Pond rink started to melt with the unseasonably warm temperatures.

Angelina and Jeffrey arepart of a formerly homelessfamily now staying at aHeading Home shelter inGreater Boston.

Their smiles representjust two of the countlessothers that Metro readers

With the generosity ofour readers through theMetro Magic toy drive,Metro supplied hundreds oftoys and games to Toys forTots, The Home for LittleWanderers and HeadingHome.

“With 3,000 homelesschildren in Boston on anygiven night, the gifts fromthe Metro newspaper willenable Heading Home tobring much-needed holidaycheer to local families in

Items ranging from foot-balls and basketballs to Dis-ney backpacks and guitarswere dropped off at TheHome for Little Wanderers’in Jamaica Plain during theweek before Christmas.

Marla Dixon, a managerwith The Home’s intensivefoster care program, saidit’s always “a kick” to seethe children still cuddlingtheir toys or new clothesdays after they received

The number of Americansfiling new claims for joblessbenefits hit a 3-1/2 year lowlast week, bolstering viewsthe economy was gainingmomentum, even thoughthird-quarter growth wasrevised down.

Other data on Thursdayunderscored the firmingtone in the economy, withconsumer sentiment scal-ing a six-month high in De-cember and a barometer offuture activity rising for aseventh straight month inNovember.

While the economy iswrapping up 2011 with aspring in its step, bickeringover budget policy in Wash-ington and the debt crisis inEurope have cast a cloud

over its prospects next year.A payroll tax cut and

benefits for the long-termunemployed, both of whichare due to expire at yearend, have become tangledin partisan politics and it isunclear whether they willbe renewed.

“The economy is carryingsome clear momentum into

2012,” said Joel Naroff, chiefeconomist at Naroff Eco-nomic Advisors in Holland,Pennsylvania. “If Congressdoesn’t kill that by failing toextend the tax breaks, wecan look forward to a betteryear ahead.”

Initial claims for stateunemployment benefitsdropped 4,000 to 364,000,the lowest level since April2008, the Labor Depart-ment said.

The claims data, whichcovered the survey periodfor the December nonfarmpayrolls report, helped totake the sting out of a sepa-rate report showing theeconomy expanded at onlya 1.8 percent annual rate inthe third quarter. REUTERS

THE TALE OFSANTA MAYBE

TOMFOREMAN POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT FOR CNN

When I was little, Santa came through for memany times with desperately desired prizes:Hot Wheels cars, a snare drum and even aventriloquist dummy. (I was a lonely child.)

Mindful of that and thinking of all the late-year turmoil here in D.C., I noticed a signsaying Santa was visiting Capitol Hill, so Iwent to check it out. When what to mywondering eyes should appear, but three

Santas all in a row! What luck!“Ho,ho, ho!” the first one

called out. “Merry Christmas!”“Hi, Santa! I’m so glad

you’re here. I won’t take muchof your time, but we couldsure use an agreement on thepayroll tax and — ”

“Hold on,” Santa said sternly.“I can’t help you with that. I’mRepublican Santa, and I don’tjust give things away. Imaginewhat a nation of slackers we’dbecome with a Santa like that!People must earn their pres-ents. I think you’re looking formy friend over there.”

The next Santa smiled and beckoned.“Season’s greetings, big fella! I’m DemocratSanta. What do you want this year?”

“Uh, as I was just telling Republican Santa,I’d like some sort of agreement on this

payroll tax dispute and — ”“Fine. Fine. You’ve come to the right person, and

this is the season of giving. Only I have to ask you tofirst fill out this financial disclosure form. It’s stan-dard procedure. Just let me know if you have a job,any savings, your own house — that sort of thing.Then, if you are needy enough, I’ll help you.”

Iwalked toward the third Santa, who was in a cor-ner watching CSPAN. “Who are you?” I asked.

He sighed. “I’m Independent Santa.”“Can you help me?”“Maybe. I haven’t made up my mind.”

It was hopeless. I wandered back outside and spot-ted an elf lounging on a park bench. “Kind of a messwith the Santas in there,” I said.

“Yeah,” he snarled, “but just wait.”“Until Christmas?” I said, my hopes rising for a

miracle.“No. Until election day. Because trust me, if this

keeps up, we’ll have a whole new bunch of Santas bynext year.”

Rape. Murder. Freez-ing cold weather.Happy holidaysfrom “The Girl with

the Dragon Tattoo,” the lat-est film adaptation of StiegLarsson’s international best-selling novel.

The book — about a jour-nalist (Daniel Craig) who in-vestigates a dysfunctionalfamily’s murder mystery,with help from anti-socialhacker Lisbeth Salander(Rooney Mara) — has al-ready spawned a successfulSwedish film trilogy. Sowhat was the draw for sign-ing on to a remake, espe-cially a dark one?

For Craig and Mara, itwas a chance to work close-ly with director DavidFincher, though Mara alsoworked with him in “TheSocial Network.” “Tattoo” isgenerating similar Oscarbuzz, but it’s not without itsshare of controversy andcritics thanks to some star-tlingly frank and sexualsubject matter.

Mara divulges to us someexclusive, behind-the-scenes details.

Lisbeth is an iconic characterwith piercings and a punklook. How collaborative wasDavid Fincher with youregarding the look?There were a lot of discus-sions about the character —about the way she looks,about the way she walks,about the way she talks,about her eye contact,about her mannerisms. But

at the end of the day, youknow, obviously I’m theperson playing the charac-ter — so he did give me a lotof freedom in that.Why do you think it is thatwhen a female character ispresented as strong and is inany way sexualized, somepeople dismiss it asexploitative or misogynistic?I don’t know, because peo-ple are stupid? [Laughs] I

don’t know why. Because Ithink it scares people.Things that people aren’tused to seeing or experienc-ing scares them. The thingthat’s so interesting aboutthis character is that shehas these two differentsides. She’s perfectly capa-ble of taking care of herself,but at the same time she’svulnerable.

She’s wise beyond her

years and incredibly bright,but at the same time she’semotionally stunted at 12years old and is naive anddoesn’t have a lot of experi-ence with other people. So Ithink that’s what makesher so interesting, that shehas these opposing sides.She’s been sexually abused,but at the same time she’svery sexual, and I think thatalso probably scares some

people. She’s a full human character,which I guess people aren’tmaybe used to seeing inHollywood for a female lead.Maybe she’s not that in-credible. Maybe she’s justactually a fully developedhuman. [Laughs].

Inhabiting the title character of ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ involved some strange costuming requirements for Rooney Mara

Q&A: Undressed

What’s the onepart of Lisbeththat’s depicted inthe movie thatmight get over-looked, a detailthat you hope peo-ple catch?I can’t think of a seri-

ous answer to that

question, but I can

think of a ridiculous

answer to that ques-

tion.

Ridiculous answerswork, too.Well, her merkin.

Sexy, talented, smart and anall-around good guy, MattDamon seems like the typeof actor to have effortlesslyslipped into Hollywood star-dom. But in the midst ofpromoting the upcomingfamily drama, “We Boughta Zoo,” Damon reveals thathis 20 seconds of insanecourage (a concept in themovie) occurred as it doesfor most actors: auditioningfor his first break intomovies.

“I remember feeling thatif I can push through thisfear right now, whether Iget the part or get rejected,not going through the door... is going to be bad for me,”he recalls. “There’s some-thing better for me on the

other side of the door.” Damon confesses that

such a scenario occurredmany times throughout hisyounger years. “I rememberfeeling that way a lot,” headmits. “The experience,any [of my cast mates] cantell you, is that you get re-jected a lot.” But Damon

said it gets easier with eachrejection, especially the “ex-quisite” ones. “Those kindtend to inoculate you as youmove forward down thatroad of being a professionalactor.”

As professional as Da-mon may be, when it cameto slippery reptiles he co-starred with in “Zoo,” theaction-movie star admits hewasn’t so tough.

“I was much more nerv-ous about the snakes,” hesays. “There was somethingabout there being so manyand watching the little kidshandle them.” Damon andco-star Thomas HadenChurch joked that the crewthrew in a few poisonousones. “They threw in a

Green Mamba just forlaughs,” Church teased.“One of them in there cankill you!”

They joke, but in reality,Damon says all the ani-mals involved in the filmwere treated with the up-most respect.

“We all acted with in-credible deference to the

trainers,” he notes. “Whenthe animals were on the setit was all about them —particularly the really bigscary ones.” He adds:“When the lion is comingout of the cage, it’s a bigdeal.”

would you be?

Two of Damon’s co-stars

consider other paths their

lives could have taken.

Scarlett Johansson: “I workwith a lot of nongovernmen-tal organizations. ... I think Iwould dedicate more of mytime to that. I also think itwould be nice to have avineyard somewhere andhave an organic farm orsomething like that. Just sortof a hippy-dippy career.” Elle Fanning: “Well, I guessmy hobbies outside of acting[include] a lot of ballet, so Iwould probably really pur-sue my ballerina career —but you have to be so goodat it ... so I would have to tryreally hard.”

Americans may nothave an intimatebond with the sto-ries of Belgian ad-

venturer Tintin and his dogSnowy, but Herge’s classiccomic book series is deeplyembedded in European popculture. As “The Adventures

of Tintin” hits theaters, weasked Nick Frost, who playsInterpol agent Thomson,what Tintin might do iffaced with the scenariosFrost faced in his movies.

What would Tintin do?Comic actor Nick Frost, star of

‘The Adventures of Tintin,’ imagineswhat the title character would’vedone in some of his other films

Nick Frost Movies: Alien in-vasion flicks “Attack theBlock” and “Paul”Question: If Tintin was analien, what would be hismethod of exterminatingmankind?Frost: I think he’d probablyjust erase us from orbit. Wewouldn’t even know and“bip!” you’re done. Or hefinds something called“Hitler’s Bomb” and deto-nates that.

Nick Frost Movie: Upcomingfilm “Snow White and theHuntsman”

Question: If Tintin was one ofthe seven dwarfs, which onewould he be?Frost: I think he’d be “Clean-y.”

killing a zombie?Frost: I think he’s quite a flam-boyant zombie killer. There’spotentially two [ways]. There’sa luger to the brain. I thinkTintin’s very clever. I think he’d

understand that a pistol runsout of bullets. A sword neverruns out of bullets so I thinkhe’d use his skills as a swords-man to run a sword through itseye.

Nick Frost Movie: Upcom-ing third film in “Blood andIce Cream” trilogy (whichfollows “Shaun of theDead” and “Hot Fuzz”) to beshot in the next year or two.Question: If Tintin was go-ing to have a part in thethird “Blood and Ice Cream”film, what would it be?Frost: My answer was goingto revolve around the words“Hitler’s bomb” again andhow he kind of sets it off.But I can now state thatHitler’s bomb will notappear in the third film.

Kutcher moves onAshton Kutcher is apparent-ly making the most of hisnewly single status, as the“Two and a Half Men” starwas spotted hanging outwith three young womenin Berlin this week, wherehe’s reportedly research-ing a new businessventure, according toHollyscoop. Kutcher andthe three women were

spotted getting into hischauffeured car together,though he was later seenheading into anapartment with just oneof them, a brunette.

A lovely, Lively holidayRyan Reynolds treatedBlake Lively to some pre-holiday family time whilethe couple was in Vancou-ver this week, accordingto Us Weekly. After shop-ping for toys andcupcakes earlier in theday, the pair joined

Reynolds’ mother andbrother for dinner at To-jos restaurant. Sourceswho spotted Lively andReynolds around town saythey were “really friend-ly” but kept tothemselves.

Is Jamie Bellshopping forrings?The rekindled romancemust be working, becauseJamie Bell and Evan RachelWood are reportedly think-ing about marriage. “Theyhave been shopping for

rings for at least a month,”a source tells Us Weekly.And the two certainlyaren’t afraid ofcommitment, as theyreportedly got matchingtattoos during their initialcourtship in 2006. “Evanand Jamie were reallyyoung and just getting go-ing in their careers whenthey first met and theyjust weren’t ready,” anoth-er source tells RadarOnline. “Now that they areolder and both excelling intheir professional lives, Ithink they feel ready totake their relationship tothe next level.”

Well, this is awe-some: Former“American Idol”star Adam Lam-

bert was arrested andbriefly jailed in Finland af-ter reportedly getting intoa gay bar brawl with hisboyfriend, Finnish “BigBrother” star SauliKoskinen, according to theHollywood Reporter. Lam-bert is in Helsinki to spendChristmas with Koskinen’sfamily, and the couple wasout drinking with Finnishbeauty queen and ex-MissHelsinki Sofia Ruusila whenan argument between thetwo men turned violent,causing them to be kickedout of the bar. Their fight

continued in thestreet, where Lambertreportedly hit Ruusilaby mistake, she told aFinnish entertain-ment channel. Lam-bert and Koskinenwere arrested andquestioned for sev-eral hours before be-ing released Thurs-day afternoon.

Finnish beautyqueens, gay barfights, jail time —and here youthought you’d have an in-teresting Christmas breakif your mother had twoglasses of wine instead ofher usual one. AdamLambert for the win!

rejuvenationSure, on the first day of2012, you might wake upand wonder where thenight went — but, hey,that’s what resolutions arefor. Until you can get thoseresolutions rolling, why notmake yourself feel a littlebit better by making your-self the ultimate BloodyMary?

The bar manager of thenew NYC hot spot Saxon +Parole, Naren Young, hassome ideas for improvingyour spicy home brew.Young’s No. 1 tip? Use freshvegetable juices as yourbase instead of pre-pack-aged tomato juice. “We on-ly use freshly squeezedtomato, carrot and celeryjuices for our Bloodys,” hesays. “This makes it verylight, fresh and fragrant.”

Here are a couple moretips from Young on makingthe ultimate Bloody Mary. You don’t have to stick with

vodka: Don’t be afraid of vari-ety. Saxon + Parole’s BloodyMary selection features gin,tequila, aquavit and whitewhiskey.Citrus and spice: A Bloodycan’t be fresh tomato juicealone. “They also need somesort of spice,” he notes. “Thatcan be anything fromcrushed chillies to Srirachato hot sauce.”

THE HIGH COST OF RESISTANCE

There’s the way the world isand then there’s the waywe’d like it to be. In 2011,confronting this dichotomymade many people

extremely uncomfortable. For the majority of us, it seems,

acceptance of the established orderis enforced with the rigidity of scien-tific law. It is much easier, as theysay, to “go with the flow” — aphrase that relates the comfortablenorms of societal interaction withthe physical realities of electricity:Just like a current will seek the pathof least resistance, so too, apparent-ly, will many thinking organisms.When one’s path is impeded bysome stubborn obstacle, the mostnatural inclination may be to bypassrather than confront and to get onwith the business of one’s flow.

Those who are not quite soconducive often end up pay-ing a high price. One exam-ple is Bradley Manning, theyoung soldier being held in-

definitely — and indelicately — by

the federal government for allegedlyleaking sensitive Iraq War data inprotest over his dissatisfaction abouthow it was being handled. Manningis currently subjected to “maximumcustody” at Quantico’s Marine Corpsbase in Va. — meaning he may notexercise, he may not sleep duringthe day and he may not have accessto bedding or clothes at night,among other horrors.

Some say Manning deserves hisfate — and perhaps that is so. If thegovernment charges are accurate,he did, after all, push back againstthe flow. As long as resistance itselfis an obstacle to those in power,the confrontation will always be severely discomforting.

2011-12 CELTICS SEASON SCHEDULE

Reopeningthe window

Banner 18 still within reach but things will have tobreak just right Rondo, health will be the key for C’sThree things the Celticsmust have if Banner 18 is tocome home in 2012:

Stay healthy Let’s be honest. Health isconcern No. 1 for all teamsin the NBA. But for theCeltics, it’s life or death.Four of their starting fiveare aged into their 30s, andtwo of them — JermaineO’Neal and Kevin Garnett —have a recent history ofknee injuries. And have youseen that schedule? Howlong before all the back-to-backs catch up to them?

It’s all on RondoThe gift and the curse, Ra-jon Rondo. What betterway to describe this guy?The C’s need Rondo to ele-vate his game even furtherthis year — develop somekind of jump shot, and bemore aggressive offensive-ly. That still remains to beseen, but if it happens, itmay just be enough to put

the C’s over the top.

Big, bad benchGoing into free agency, theCeltics had very little moneyto work with. But looking atthe makeup of the bench,you can’t say Danny Aingedid a bad job. He tradedGlen Davis for the more re-liable Brandon Bass, tradednothing for veteran guard

Keyon Dooling, broughtback Marquis Daniels, andbrought in the athletic ChrisWilcox with the mini mid-level exception (about $3million). It looks like rookieguard E’Twaun Mooremight be a steal too. Nothaving Jeff Green will hurt,of course. The C’s could cer-tainly use more offense offthe bench, but they’ll haveto make due. JIMMY TOSCANO

The C’s will go as far as Rajon Rondo takes them in 2011-12
