Liv Ullmann to Speak at The Cape Ann Community Cinema Saturday October 27th at 7:30pm
New England Premiere for the documentary film Liv and Ingmar at the Cape Ann Community Cinema, Saturday October 27th at 7:30 pm. Tickets for the Ullmann event are $20.00 ($17.50 for Members), and benefit the Cinema. More about the film can be found at www.LivAndIngmar.com, tickets atwww.CapeAnnCinema.com.
Liv and Ingmar is an affectionate yet truthful account of the 42 years- and 12 films-long relationship between Ullmann and Bergman. It is a rollercoaster journey of extreme highs and lows, constructed as a collage of images and sounds from the timeless Ullmann-Bergman films, behind-the-scenes footage, still photographs, passages from Liv’s book ‘Changing’ and Ingmar’s love letters to Liv. Ultimately, this film is a homage – a candid and humane look – not only at two of the greatest artists of our time, but also at two wonderful human beings, two inseparable friends and soul mates.
Ingmar Bergman is the legendary Swedish master filmmaker, and their incomparable relationship is told entirely from Ullmann’s point-of-view.
TICKETS WILL DEFINITELY SELL OUT. THIS IS NOT A SALES PLOY.

One Last Whale Tale
If you click on the photo to embiggen then click one more time you can see that Rubber Duck is perched on the whale. She is sitting in the same spot as the previous photo.

About 85 Rubber Ducks long: NSFL (this post may not be safe for viewing while eating lunch.)
The Finback is about 85 Rubber Ducks long.
Homie and half a dozen of his pals were working on this piece. Maybe some jaw with baleen attached.
Only a guess that there might be 5 or 6 tons of whale. In a few weeks it might be dangerous to be downhill of the body because when she pops there may be quite a landslide of whale innards. Also why I am not saying exactly where it is. It’s cute and all but better left to the winter storms. Another unit of measure is on a scale of one to ten, what does Homie think of it? Ten being potato chips and one being an old sock. Right now Homie thinks it only rates a 3 right up there with a dried three week old fish rack. That number might even drop once she really starts ripening. The blow hole flies might not lay eggs since we are past frost but there are a few smaller type flies interested.
My advice is to find it in the spring when there will be a cool set of whale bones that no one can touch because that is illegal or else a winter storm or three will send her on her way to Nova Scotia.

A Rubber Duck Unit of Length
Unit of Measure: A Standard Rubber Duck.
Length including duck bill: 6 inches (15 centimeters)
Height: 5 inches (12 centimeters)
Width: 3 inches (6 centimeters)
In the afternoon I will be posting photos of the Rubber Duck sitting on a dead Finback Whale washed up on the rocky coast of Cape Ann. It will help to realize that RD is not a small duck. (The closeup fisheye effect of the iPhone distorts the view but RD really is 6 inches from stem to stern.)
And yes, RD has a red fiberglass cast on her right wing. She thanks everyone for all the get well cards. She only misses being able to give Homie a big hug.

Famous Great Guy!
When I worked at Tadco Mfg. in the late 70’s and early 80’s I met Phil Bissell at one of the train station shops at the Whistle stop Mall in Rockport, Ma. During my lunch breaks I used to stop by and say Hi and talk Art and if it was one of my friends Birthdays I’d have him draw a quick sketch for them. He would love to talk art. He’s is one of my inspirations. I think $25.00 for one. He wasn’t Famous back then but he should be now! You never know!

Rockport’s Bissell and his legendary logo celebrated
By Matt Langone
In the world of sports, followers often subscribe to the notion of out of sight, out of mind. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally.
Historic moments and people become lost in the rapidly changing times. The founding fathers and iconic figures that our professional sports leagues and teams were built upon become forgotten due the right here, right now mentality of sports. However, New England Patriots fans will have a chance to get acquainted or reacquainted with the symbol of the beginning of the Patriots, and the man who created that symbol.
That man would be Rockport’s Phil Bissell, who created the original New England Patriots logo Pat Patriot in 1960 shortly after the team — then known as the Boston Patriots — was formed as one of the eight squads to play in the American Football League (a league that existed from 1960-1969 before merging with the NFL).
With this year being the 50th anniversary of the Patriots organization and the AFL, the new sleek Flying Elvis logo of the Patriots will step aside for a few games and allow the retro uniforms and Pat Patriot to make a triumphant return.

Ginormous Whale Carcass Washes Up On Penzance Road Rockport October 20th
Could this be the Finback that they lost in Boston on October 15th-
Boston.com story October 15th,2012-
Dead finback whale in Boston Harbor drifts out to sea, officials say
The dead finback whale that has been drifting through Boston Harbor made a brief visit to the shores of Georges Island over the weekend before floating back out to sea, officials said.
As of Monday morning, the 50-foot whale “appears to have washed out of channel out to sea,” said SJ Port, spokeswoman for the Department of Conservation and Recreation. She said the high tides and westward winds helped moved the animal’s remains out of the harbor area and they currently cannot be located.
After the whale carcass had washed up on Georges Island, which is under the jurisdiction of the conservation department, officials there began putting together plans to dispose of the remains, Port said.
“It’s like a reverse lottery. It can be a big cost for whoever that property belongs to,” she said.
Preliminary figures estimated the whale’s removal to cost about $30,000, and because it is an endangered species, removal efforts must be approved by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Tennis Legend, Nick Bollettieri, Serves Up Tennis and Life Lessons to MAC Tennis Aces.
Nick Bollettieri, the legendary tennis coach linked to 10 number-one world-ranked players including Andre Agassi and Maria Sharapova, visited with hundreds of players during his annual visit to Manchester Athletic Club. The energetic octogenarian is one of the sport’s most well-respected and influential tennis experts. His visit marks the 10-year anniversary of collaboration between Bollettieri and Manchester Athletic Club’s MAC Tennis Academy, home to many top juniors on their own tracks to winning national and international tennis acclaim.
Bollettieri gave private lessons, group drills and motivational speeches to adult players, parents and the Academy’s junior players, including Meghan Kelley, of Falmouth, ME, who recently earned a Gold Ball after winning a national tournament in Girls 16s doubles at the USTA National Clay Court Championships. Jerry Lopez of Mexico, who along with Kelley trains with the Academy and is part of the Academy’s Travel Team, just came back from the Dominican Republic with an International Tennis Federation (ITF) singles championship. Kelley, Lopez and hundreds of other players from cities and towns all over New England were energized by the opportunity to spend time on the court with their high profile mentor.
“Nick is a prime example of the virtues and rewards of discipline, commitment and hard work,” said Todd Carpenter, Director of Tennis at Manchester Athletic Club. “He has spoken all over the world about how to become and stay number one. Invaluable lessons for our program and for the next generation of tennis players.”
Bollettieri’s visit comes on the eve of the release of his biography, It Ain’t Easy, which will be published around Thanksgiving. The book, written by David Legge, is the uncensored, unabridged, authorized story of his life, including what he has taught and what he has learned both on and off the court.
