Take Your Taste Buds on a Crazy Adventure

Posted on by God's Morning

I went to the End of Summer Tasting at the Madfish on Friday.  Due to a Cape Ann NightSUP scheduling conflict, I didn’t get to experience the whole tasting, but did get to experience 4 of the 10 courses.  If you have the chance before they close for the season, you owe it to your taste buds to take them on the adventure of a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night dinner starting at 5:00pm at Madfish Grille under the new management and extraordinary culinary magic of Chefs Jordan Rubin and Johnny Sheehan.  I’ll tell you, don’t miss the oyster steam bun (OMG your mouth will go crazy with the amazing tastes and textures!), corn soup and prawn cracker.  Based on what I did sample, I have to believe that everything on the menu is equally incredibly fresh, delicious and unique.  These guys will rock your mouth’s world.

Bootylishisnous at Pirate’s Lane

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

You never know what kind of bootylishisnous you will encounter when at Pirate’s Lane!

These guys tried every which way to engage me while I was (trying) to film a pretty boat for background footage for my Monarch film. After ignoring their shenanigans, when I finally did look up, this is what they wanted me to photograph!

What / where is it?

Posted on by Matthew Green

Where (and/or what) is the subject of these photos (beyond, “bricks!”)? I think there’s an interesting shape/patterns/positive-negative space dynamic going on in them.  They look kind of “Photoshopped”, but I only slightly adjusted the brightness and contrast.

Abraham Lincoln Quote of The Week From Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

September 21, 2012

“Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves."

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

The 16th president of the United States was well known for his quick wit and aphorisms. His political accomplishments, the preservation of the Union and the ending of slavery, have become almost mythic parts of American history. Even a cursory look at the man behind the myths reveals a towering intellect coupled with an astute political sense. Lincoln, a moderate Republican, purposefully constructed his cabinet of men who most often disagreed with him, and each other, in order that he received perspectives different from his own, and steered a course between extremes toward the goals he believed were right for the country. Assassinated at the close of the Civil War, Lincoln left behind a rich legacy of thoughtful and often self-deprecating quotes including: “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt."

Residents Reminded to be Vigilant about Protecting Themselves from Mosquitoes

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Residents Reminded to Be Vigilant about Protecting Themselves from Mosquitoes
Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
In light of the growing number of animal and human cases of West Nile Virus (WNV) and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) the State Public Health Department increased the risk level in all communities from low to moderate.  Moderate means that multiple cases of human disease caused by EEE or WNV are moderately likely at this time. For more information on how risk level is determined visit:  http://westnile.ashtonweb.com/index.asp

image
Some communities in which mosquito samples have tested positive for WNV or EEE have made the decision to conduct spraying of pesticide to reduce the risk to people.  The aim of spraying is to lower the overall mosquito population and reduce numbers of infected mosquitoes in the affected areas.
Mosquito spraying reduces, but cannot completely eliminate, infected mosquitoes. Therefore, it cannot eliminate the threat of mosquito-borne illness. That’s why it is very important for residents to take personal precautions against mosquito bites.
Peak times for mosquito activity are from dusk to dawn. Reduce outdoor activity during this time if possible. Use mosquito repellent any time you are outdoors, but especially during peak times. And remember, being outside even a short time can be long enough to get a mosquito bite. If weather permits, wear long-sleeves, long pants and socks. Use mosquito netting on baby carriages or play yards when your baby is outdoors.
Keep mosquitoes out of your house by making sure screens are repaired and tightly attached to doors and windows. Prevent mosquitoes from breeding by removing standing water from places like wading pools, recycle bins, and flower pots, and changing water in birdbath, wading pools or other long term containers at least every 4 days.   Mosquitoes can begin to grow in any puddle or standing water that lasts for more than four days. Water in one old tire can breed thousands of mosquitoes.
You can learn more about how to protect yourself at www.mass.gov/dph/wnv or any of the Cape Ann town websites.
