Giant Rubber Duck Deflates After Earthquake

From the UK Telegraph;

“A giant rubber duck art installation fell victim to a 6.3 magnitude earthquake  in Taiwan on Thursday.

Workers in Taoyuan county tried to re-inflate the duck, the work of Dutch   artist Florentijn Hofman, after its air pump malfunctioned during Thursday’s   earthquake in Taiwan.

But the artwork had suffered too many tears and leaks thanks to high winds,   and it collapsed onto the surface of the lake where it had been installed.

Local media reported some Taiwanese were so upset, they called for a 10 second   silence to commemorate the duck.

Officials soon came to the rescue however – with the bright idea of moving the   59 foot inflatable onto dry land.

Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported it would take seven to 10 days to   completely repair the duck, which cost about $44,000 to make and install,   but by Saturday afternoon it was looking plump and healthy on its new   land-base.”

“We had an amazing 2013 season! Our Museum and Aquarium will reopen in late May 2014, but be on the lookout for special winter programs, including maritime lectures and children’s activities.

While we are currently closed to the public, we’re busy visiting Cape Ann’s elementary schools and hosting field trips through our expanded Ocean Explorers program!”

Selfie’s. Bigger than Ever! Really?

Posted on by capeannpainter

A few weeks a go I put a call out to readers of GMG to send in their Selfies. I only got two responses. I was very disappointed in the readers. How dare you not answer my call to you to be a GMG star for a few minutes. 🙂

So here’s your Last chance to get your Mugs out there. Make it fun and family friendly. Go to a favorite spot on Cape Ann, your Business, home, Yard or wherever.

2014 is expected to be a Banner year for all the Selfie Yahoos.

Hi Paul-- I like this selfie because you can see my camera so clearly in the reflection of the sunglasses. My daughter asked to see a photo of my new haircut last winter. I ran out the front door and took this in about thirty seconds. xKim

“The selfie won’t die — in fact, it just got its own social network”

Selfie.im
A new social network only lets you upload self-portraits. Its name? Selfie, of course.

“Look at me, at a Beyoncé concert! Look at me, with the Pope! Look at me, at a funeral! Look at me, in class while my teacher is going into labor! Yes, 2013 is the year of the selfie — but that doesn’t mean this global #me craze won’t be even bigger in 2014.”

Police told the men to put the rocks back. There were mo charges filed.

Police responded to a reported sound of a gunshot at 10:32 p.m., in the area of County Road, but officers were unable to find anyone when they arrived.

Happy MOVEMBER! 2013

About Movember.com;

           Happy MOVEMBER!  2013

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 Partés held around the world.”
