Movie – “OutRage”
CAPE ANN COMMUNITY CINEMA
21 MAIN STREET – 2ND FLOOR
GLOUCESTER, MA 01930
(978) 282-1988
PLAYING FRIDAY, JULY 17 TO THURSDAY, JULY 23 @ 7:30PM NIGHTLY
OUTRAGE
From Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick (“This Film Is Not Yet Rated”) comes Outrage, a searing indictment of the hypocrisy of closeted politicians with appalling gay rights voting records who actively campaign against the LGBT community they covertly belong to. Boldly revealing the hidden lives of some of the United States’ most powerful policymakers, Outrage takes a comprehensive look at the harm they’ve inflicted on millions of Americans, and examines the media’s complicity in keeping their secrets. The film probes deeply into the psychology of this double lifestyle, the ethics of outing closeted politicians, the double standards that the media upholds in its coverage of the sex lives of gay public figures, and much more.
“A powerful, disturbing and significant film.” –Kenneth Turan, LA Times

My Incredible Adventure- Alice and the Monkey’s Fist
11 year old Alice learned how to tie a Monkey’s Fist 
from her grandmother, Sally, who was also on the Spirit trip. In the evening or when there was down time, Alice would make tiny fists and taught us how to make them.
A monkey’s fist or monkey paw is a type of knot, so named because it looks somewhat like a small bunched fist/paw. It also looks somewhat like a volleyball or an older style football. It is tied at the end of a rope to serve as a weight, making it easier to throw, and also as an ornamental knot. This type of weighted rope can be used as an improvised weapon, called a slungshot by sailors. It was also used in the past as an anchor in rock climbing, by stuffing it into a crack, but this is obsolete and dangerous.

The Camera Is Going
The camera that brought you 95% of the pictures and 99% of the videos that I’ve posted over the past year and a half is going to a good home.
FOB (friend of the blog) and all around great egg Brenda Malloy will be putting it to good use.
I’m feeling sort of sad about it because it has taken so many pictures of beautiful things, people, food and Gloucester scenes and has been incredibly reliable but an opportunity to make the blog better has come up and along with it a chance to get a big boy camera for not a whole lot of dough.
I resisted buying a good dslr like good buddy Jay of Cape Ann Images has because I figured that down the dock it would simply get demolished but since the Mrs already has a zoom lens and regular lens for her nikon d40 I figured that if I sold my precious Sony H3 (the camera used in most of my pics over the past year and a half and combined that with the money I got from a few pictures that sold at The Cormorant Shop recently, I could justify the expenditure.
So my faithful camera that has taken so many pictures and been with me all along is going bye-bye as soon as the new one shows up in the mail.
For anyone that wants a reliable camera that has a solid zoom, is pocketable and takes decent video I highly recommend this camera- Sony DSC H3. It was a joy to work with.
The pictures taken with this camera have been featured in countless publications, visitors guides, television programs such as NECN, WBZ, and WCVB, magazines, the Lobster Institute educational materials, ad campaigns for many local businesses, Flower Box Competitions,promotions for many local charities, art scenes, fundraisers, and more.
