Divorce Corp The Movie Playing at Cape Ann Community Cinema
David Calvo forwards-
Joey do you think we can promote this on the blog? I organized this with Robert Newton and there will be a discussion after the movie
SPECIAL SCREENING – “Divorce Corp.” (Sun. Mar. 9 @ 4:00pm)
By Robert Newton on January 15, 2014

For roughly 50% of American families divorce is an unpleasant fact of life. Dealing with divorce and its effects destroys lives and bankrupts individuals every day. Family law, which barely existed for most of our country’s history, has morphed into a gigantic industry over the past several decades. Learn first-hand about the excesses and injustices rampant in the U.S. family court system. Do not miss the riveting film that offers a spotless condemnation of family courts across America. In interviews with top insiders and an array of litigants, a place aptly termed “the last fiefdom of lawlessness and tyranny,” is uncovered.
DATE:
SUNDAY, MARCH 9TH @ 4:00PM
TICKETS:
$10.00 ADULTS / $8.50 STUDENTS & SENIORS / $7.00 CINEMA MEMBERS

The February meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club takes will be at 8:00 pm on the 14th, Valentine’s day, under a full moon — an auspicious occasion. And what could be a more romantic way to spend an evening than a great astronomy club meeting? Bring your valentine!
Speaking this month will be the personable and charismatic Dr. Mario Motta, with his first-hand tale of the planning and construction of the biggest telescope on Cape Ann. You can see the giant observatory dome housing the meter-class instrument, if you look off towards Annisquam when you come in over the bridge (unless of course you’re supposed to be driving).
Later this year the club will have all sorts of telescopes for you to see up close during the second annual “Introduction to Amateur Astronomy” night, but this month will be your only chance to see how to make one that won’t fit through the door. Come on in and enjoy the holiday goodies, the great conversation, and a once-in-a-lifetime presentation.

Hi i am Emily Varga, you probably know my mom Allison Varga she owns the tea company. After the big snowstorm my sister and I built a snow-woman and went outside to check on it just to find our mini Schnauzer Otto eating the snow-woman’s nose. We hope you like this picture and maybe post it.
Swans on Front Beach, Rockport Feb 4 From Bobbie Brooks in Lanesville ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!
I so enjoy GMG each evening, and would like to contribute as I see something of interest. This morning I caught a glimpse of a pair of Swans at the water’s edge on Front Beach in Rockport as I was driving by. I had to stop and enjoy! Luckily my little pocket Canon was with me. I had not noticed swans at salt water before, but then realized, Mill Pond has a stream outlet at this area. With the upcoming storms, I hope they find food and a safe haven.

Hi Joey,
The Massachusetts Smart Growth Alliance added updates and photos from their special 10 year celebration Smart Growth conference at ABX. Gloucester and the HarborWalk were showcased with other special MA placemaking spaces.
MA Smart Growth selected before/after photos by Kim Smith and Leaping, a photo by Cruz Ferreras (shows a Block Party evening, and James Owen Calderwood’s Parsons Street mural) for one of the posters in their booth.
The official event photographer for the 2013 Smart Growth Conference during the ArchitectureBoston Expo (ABX) was Jean Hangarter. She sent a shout out to photographer—and GMG contributor– Kathy Chapman!
Have fun exploring the range of topics in follow-up from the event http://ma-smartgrowth.org/take-action/smart-growth-conference/

Gloucester Joins Global Campaign
To Stop Violence Against Women and Girls:
ONE BILLION RISING FOR JUSTICE
On February 14, 2014, at 12:30 p.m., Gloucester will join with activists around the world for ONE BILLION RISING FOR JUSTICE, the largest day of action in the history of V-Day, the global activist movement to end violence against women and girls.
ONE BILLION RISING began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that one in three women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime.
With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. On February 14, 2014, the City of Gloucester will join activists, writers, thinkers, celebrities, and women and men across the world as we express our outrage, demand change, strike, dance, and RISE in defiance of the injustices women suffer, demanding an end at last to violence against women.
“ONE BILLION RISING FOR JUSTICE is a joyous recognition of the sacred and how it must never be made profane by any person, institution or government. Violence and oppression of women is the core wound that foreshadows all other problems in the world, from poverty to war to destruction of the environment. Rising is not only a dance, it is the birth of the future.”
Paul Hawken, environmentalist and author, Blessed Unrest.
JOIN US at 12:30 p.m. on February 14, 2014 at the Cape Ann Savings Bank Park, 101 Main Street, Gloucester.
If you are unable to join us, please take a moment to stand up in your workplace or home in recognition of the millions of women and girls across the world who are impacted by violence. Ask your friends and colleagues to join you.

It’s called the Cape Ann MarketWATCH.
If you like oysters you will be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t make a beeline to Halibut Point
Ive been missing out on this local insider gem for far too long.
But no more! No more my friend! No MORE! The tide has turned! A new day hadf dawned. The sleeping giant has been awoken!
A believer has been born!
Get your ass down to Halibut Point ASAP. Order the oysters. Relish in how tremendous they are and thank your boy Joey for finally getting to showcasing what must have been one of the biggest oversight of oversights in decades!!!
