Mustache

“As an official global charity, Movember’s vision is to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health. During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of millions of moustaches on men’s faces around the world. Through the power of the Mo, vital funds and awareness are raised to combat prostate and testicular cancer and mental health challenges.
HOW IT WORKS Movember encourages men to join the movement by growing a moustache for the 30-days of November. After registering on Movember.com, these generous Mo Bros start the month clean-shaven, then grow and groom their Mo (slang for moustache), asking friends and family to donate to their efforts. With their new moustaches, these Mo Bros bring much needed awareness to men’s health issues by prompting conversations wherever they go.
Movember’s not just for men. Mo Sistas are an important part of Movember’s success. Once registered, Mo Sistas raise funds and encourage the men in their lives to get involved. Essentially, Mo Sistas do everything that Mo Bros do, without a Mo. Learn more about Mo Sistas here.
At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their Movember journey by throwing their own Movember events or attending one of the official Gala PartĂ©s held around the world.”

Sista’s Helpful Tips

Today I thought I’d take todays post as an opportunity to  answer the mystry question about where one can purchase Fig Filling. If your questioning why one might be asking then you must not have purchased a copy of my cookbook yet. For those who have, I thank you very much for your support and hope your enjoying every page! My recipe for Pork Tenderloin with Vidalia Onion Fig Sauce on page 196  includes fig filling in the list of ingredients, many folks are writing in asking where it is sold. I have seen it in many grocery stores but the other day while I was shopping at Market Basket I noticed the Fig Filling on the shelf, and took out my phone and snapped this photo to clarify it’s exact location in the store to make your life a little easier. Fig filling  can be found at the far end of aisle #7 .

It is Fall Back Time Sunday

To fall back suggests that one must set the clocks one hour back when DST ends. It is associated with the fall (autumn) season because the DST schedule ends in the fall. The fall season and the end of daylight saving time mark a period when the days start getting shorter, with fewer hours of sunlight.

Gloucester Area Astronomy Club November Meeting

At the Friday November 8 GAAC meeting we are thrilled to host a presentation by our very own Astronomy Ph.D. Bill Waller, speaking on the state of our galaxy.

Bill’s talk, “Navigating the Milky Way Galaxy,” will highlight the Milky Way as it appears in our sky and as it could possibly look if viewed from afar.  Along the way he will highlight a host of spectacular nebulae, star clusters, and other galactic objects that continue to fascinate both professional astronomers and the curious public.

This sounds like a really great night and the public is warmly invited. GAAC meets on Friday night, 11/8, at 8:00pm at the Lanesville Community Center, 8 Vulcan street in Lanesville. 

No astronomy experience or telescope is needed to enjoy your evening, and there are never any dues or fees. More information can be found on our website, http://gaac.us or on facebook, at http://www.facebook.com/gaacpage

The 2013 GHS Field Hockey team played Tewksbury this past Wednesday in Tewksbury after qualifying for Tournament play during the regular season.
Even though the Gloucester girls lost 1-0 on a very hard fought game, they played their hearts out and gave everything they had.

I’m am so glad she did and believe this is the prettiest, and most yummiest-looking, pumpkin patch ever seen!

Bobby Valentine is the only person who picked the Red Sox to go all the way and win the World Series. (He may have forgotten to write down that prediction.) Thanks Bobby, they couldn’t have done it without you. 🙂

First home game Friday, April 4, 2014 vs the Milwaukee Brewers. That would be a good time for a gigantic Rubber Duck to swim into Gloucester Harbor.

Shaped like a flying saucer, the UFO Pleco looks like something straight out of a fifties sci-fi movie! These Chinese fish, part of the loach group, are found in fast-flowing streams rather than outer space.

U

The scary yet harmless vampire squid’s scientific name literally means vampire squid of Hell! Survivors from the Jurassic period, these mollusks have characteristics of both squid and octopus and shoot glowing mucus when alarmed.

V

The witch flounder is one of many flatfish found in local waters. We love teaching our Ocean Explorers about these amazing animals!

W

You can easily see the skeleton of the X-ray tetra! These fish are found in the Amazon River and live in large schools.

X

Named after the legendary monster, the Yeti crab was first discovered in 2005. These blind crustaceans live at depths of over 7,000 feet!

Y

Zombie worms bore into whale bones using acid! These strange sea creatures remove nutrients from the bones in order to feed.
