Dave Sag’s Blues Party @ The Rhumb Line ~ Special guest: Chris Stovall Brown
Thursday 8:30 to 11:30 5.1.2014
Dave says,
Let’s welcome back that that guitar-chomping king of jiveological jetsam: Mr. Chris “Stovetop” Brown. It’s been too long and i’m happy to have him back and on my back to make me play better than ever. Now, if I only could get rid of this glug I’ve been having for weeks, life would be just ducky. Mr. Ephraim Lowell drums. Oh, and we’re back to summer hours: 8:30 to 11:30. I’ll be back to form soon!

Ask Sista Felicia
I look forward to the questions I receive from GMG FOB’s, family and friends each week! Dozens of questions are asked and answered in the aisles of local stores while I shop, and dozens are privately asked and answered through email, text message, Facebook , or Tweeter each day. I especially love when a question inspires a Sista’s Dish Post! One question asked today did just that!
Ellie Bevins Writes~ Making a rhubarb crisp for a gift. Give me your talented ideas for how to wrap an 8 in square pan??? I was going to put it on a mason jar, but I don’t think its big enough to hold a good amount. I’m stuck. Ellie
Sista Felicia’s Wrapping Suggestion~ Wrap baking dish in tea towel or small Table cloth; gather cloth ends in center of dish; fasten with Zip Tie; using matching decorative ribbon, tie fresh flower bouquet to gathered top and fix decorative bow!

Why is This Mouse’s Tail Bright Orange?
Because my dear husband loves to trap mice, but does not have the heart to kill them. After capturing, he lets the mouse go. I asked, how can he be sure he is not catching the same mouse. He decided to conduct an experiment, painting the tail of any captured mouse with brilliant orange non-washable paint. None have showed up back at our home, but if you happen upon a cute orange-tailed mouse, please let us know!

Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team Update
Busy weekend.
Really had a cool snake show at Lynn Woods on Saturday for Earth Fest. Great job by: Nancy Gilberg, Colleen Anderson, Caitlyn Heathman, John Gallagher and Leslie Coutemanche.
On Sunday we had a very nice vernal pond/snake display at the Essex County Greenbelt. Thanks to Sam and Diane Bevins, Mariah Lowe, Jacob and Bryn Lord, Suzanne Selig, Denise Clinton and Jared and Aidan Wood.
Meanwhile, we also had a lovely vernal pond display at the Gloucester Pride Stride at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester by Colleen Anderson and Nicci Cataldo.
I did the field work for three more vernal ponds today to add to the nine we (Nick Taomina, Matt Burne and me) did last Friday.
In the whether-you-know-it-or-not department the Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team and our sister organization, Kestrel Educational Adventures are moving to a new location on Main Street in Gloucester right across the street from the Police Station (I forget the number). Kestrel has really taken the lead on this and we are tagging along. It will be called the Get Outside Center and there is a:
Get Outside Kickoff Party
Thursday may 1, 2014 7:30pm at the

Should be fun. See you there.

DO YOU KNOW… The Difference Between Margarine and Butter?
Last night after reading my Uncle Frank Ciaramitaro’s post (below) about the difference between margarine and butter on his personal Facebook wall, originally written and shared on Eva Boese Peter’s Facebook page, I thought of my grandmother Felicia’s famous words to others when talking about cooking and ingredients. Growing up cooking in the kitchen with my grandmother, I lost track of the number of times she preached, “always use the freshest ingredients available. NEVER EVER use the “fake stuff,” like Cool Whip, Margarine, and artificial sweetener’s, and if your on a diet, eat smaller potions using real ingredients.” Grandma Felicia was a smart women , who always questioned the content used to manufacture the “fake stuff”, and the effects it would have on the human body after years of consumption. She even questioned and refused to own a microwave, when they hit the market, cooking everything she made using her cooktop, wall ovens, or BBQ grill. I continue to follow her advice when cooking, and consciously try to avoid using microwaves, artificial sweeteners or products containing them. I am grateful for her wise advice, and happy to report that only a few recipe in my collection, call for the use of margarine.
Click see more to read the article that inspired me to write today Sista’s Dish Post and GMG Poll regarding Butter and Margarine! Continue reading “DO YOU KNOW… The Difference Between Margarine and Butter?”

Donald Sterling: What say you?
If you haven’t heard his name by now, especially living in the greatest sports region in the world, you’re detached from the planet. And if you really don’t know, GTSF (google that shit fool!). Now, we all know the scoop. This guy is a massive pig, and a professional D-Bag by trade. While billions struggle to eat, survive, and contribute to society, the gods have found a way to reward this asshole. I’m sure he “worked” hard for his money, but who cares at this point. So, he’s apparently banned for life from the NBA, and I’m not sure how that will pan out. To tell an attorney, and a two fold BILLIONAIRE, that he can’t do something, and expect him to go quietly, should be a shit-show for sure. I realize fining a gazillionaire 2.5 million is like stealing his bubble gum, so that’s no punishment. At the end of this, his 12 million dollar investment will garner him about a BILLION. So, looks like no punishment there either folks. And as far as being in the public-eye goes, he can just buy an island, stock it with his “girlfriends” all Heff style, and live happily ever after. So there is no real punishment for this loser. Should he be banned? Yes, he should. But, as you may have thought by now, isn’t all of this unsettling to you? Is it right in America? Has something crossed a line here? Now before you start seeing a side picked here, don’t. This guy makes me sick.
But, again, what if it was you in some aspect?
What if, in your moment of great success and admiration, someone comes up with a tape of some insanely ignorant shit you said… days, years or even decades ago? Would you fight to save your reputation? Could you actually explain yourself? Could you argue about the tape’s release or the person who recorded the conversation’s intent? I’ve added a few polls here to gauge what the people are thinking. Since it’s anonymous, don’t be shy, so please take a moment and be honest. Also, what are your thoughts on his girlfriend releasing these conversations? I’m curious to see what people really think, so by all means post up some comments as well.

Hi! My name is Ash, on the left, and my sister Ashley. We are three-month-old Retriever/mix pups.
We are always giving kisses and having fun. We love toys, treats and playing with all the other puppies. We might have a little Hound, Shepherd or Terrier mix, too – just imagine, four dog types in one dog! If you are up to the challenge of a puppy and all the joy it can bring, please stop by and visit us soon. We are at the Cape Ann Animal Aid, (CapeAnnAnimalAid.com) located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter, Four Paws Lane, Gloucester.
I can’t wait for you to meet my siblings and me, Ash!

The Schooner Adventure Welcomes Her New Captain, Stefan Edick
Mary Barker Submits-
Hi Joey,
The Schooner Adventure welcomes her new captain, Stefan Edick (on the right in the blue cap), shown here planning for pipe installation with ship keeper, Geoff Deckebach.
The Adventure has a newly constructed temporary cover over the stern to allow her crew and volunteers to do caulking on deck. April 22, 2014 had John Miles, Sarah Tuvim,
Anders von Ashwege, Richard Smith and Tony Finnociarro removing the old and installing new caulking on deck. Prepping for a fresh coat of paint has also been started.
Meanwhile below deck, Capt. Stefan Edick, Geoff Deckebach,and engineer Bill Whitney collaborated on the location for some new plumbing for re-installation of the fore head.
Geoff assures me that anyone who would like to volunteer to help with some of the upkeep of the Adventure would be very welcome. There is plenty of work available for people
of any skill level.
Mary Barker
Good Morning Gloucester
