 We finally remembered to take a picture with the sticka!

Here we are at the restaurant Polidor in Paris, where Owen Wilson’s character met Hemingway in the movie Midnight in Paris and where the real Hemingway ate.

Salut!

Quote of the Week from Greg Bover

May 4, 2012
“What would you attempt if you knew you would not fail?”
Robert Schuller (1926-    )

Founder of the Hour of Power television show, Schuller was one of the most widely heard preachers of the televangelist movement of the late 20th century. After having established his church in a drive-in theater, he engaged Richard Neutra to design the Garden Grove Community Church in California in the late fifties, and Phillip Johnson to design the Crystal Cathedral in the seventies. His congregation eventually reached 10,000 members. He stressed the power of positive thinking and the possibility of oneness with the divine through right action. In 2008 he attempted to pass on his ministry to his children, but the Crystal Cathedral declared bankruptcy in 2010, and none of the Schuller family is currently in its leadership.

Had to take a picture, but had to take a bite first

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

Doesn’t this quiche look good?  You see why I had to take a bite before I got out my phone.  It tastes as good as it looks and is one reason why I’m very happy that Atlantis opened their Cafe today!

Peter had the Fish Cakes Benedict.

Wow!  Some of the best fish cakes we’ve ever had.  Too bad they don’t serve dinner.  These would make a super appetizer.  Jessica the chef uses a secret ingredient.  She wouldn’t let me say what it is, but you could always try to guess.  The Atlantis Oceanfront Cafe is now open to the public (you don’t have to be a guest at the hotel) 7 days a week from 7:30-11:00am.  I’d recommend going before the season gets crazy busy.

You can work up a good breakfast appetite by dancing tonight and there are plenty of opportunities for that.  Peter and I will be at Minglewood to see our friend Brad Byrd with his “A” Band (but we’ll do our best to stay out of the video shoot).  Now if you’d prefer to be on camera (see the folks from last time), put on something you want to be photographed in and come on down.  Music starts at 9.

But if you’d rather not take the chance on ending up in a video directed by Hollywood’s Brandon Rose, check out the other more anonymous opportunities for dancing in the full music lineup here.

Tomorrow we’ve got a major announcement and a very special Artist of the week (actually 2 in 1).  Stay tuned  . . .

Tonights Supermoon and Last Years “Rum” Moon

Tonights Supermoon and Last Years “Rum” Moon

Moonrise 7:37pm  05/05/2012 

From EarthSky.org

Photo From http://earthsky.org/tonight

“According to U.S. clocks, May 5, 2012 features the closest and largest full moon of this year.  Calendars say May 6, by the way, for this same close full moon as seen from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.  We astronomers call this sort of close full moon a perigee full moon.  The word perigee describes the moon’s closest point to Earth for a given month.  But last year, when the closest and largest full moon occurred on March 19, 2011, many used a term we’d never heard: supermoon.  We’ve heard this term again at this 2012 close full moon.  What does it mean exactly?  And how special is the May 5, 2012 supermoon?” CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT!

Below is a photo I took last Summer of the Full “RUM MOON”

 It’s something i’ll never forget. I almost retired after taking this shot.

Pennies from Heaven

Posted on by Matthew Green

Last Wednesday evening, we had a great group at The Annie for our weekly singing event (7-9:30PM).  The last time I posted about this, someone asked for video of a song – so I brought my iPhone tripod setup, and filmed!

Henry Allen is not just a generous host at The Annie, he’s also a talented performer. Here  he sings “Pennies from Heaven”.

Come and join us some time!

Supermoon Info for tonight.

Supermoon Info for tonight.

Moonrise  7:37pm

Look to 115 degrees on the Compass for moonrise location.

Hopefully it will clear enough for a great view. Although a few clouds would help the composition for the photographers.

Gloucester Webcam of The Day- Cape Pond Ice

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Check Out The Cape Pond Ice Website Here

This Webcam and more can be found at www.gloucesterwebcam.com

This www.gloucesterwebcam.com local webcam portal project was an idea I had last year to have as many webcams streaming from local businesses or organizations as possible which highlight the incredible vistas that we as people that live and work here get to enjoy each and every day.

The idea was to have the organization install the webcam, have them embed the webcam feed on their own websites as well and have a link to each business website on the Gloucester webcam portal website to showcase their business as well.

Tim Blakeley from Gloucester Bytes provided the initial installation at ridiculously cheap cost because he believed in the project.

Happy Arbor Day (A Week Later)

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Last week The Bean brought home a sugar maple from school for Arbor Day.  I’m not sure I’ve ever seen her more excited to do anything like the way she was excited to get home from school and plant that tree.

From what they say about Sugar Maples we should be able to tap it in 40 years for maple syrup.  I doubt I’ll be around by then but maybe The Bean will remember this day.  the day we planted her Sugar Maple tree together.

Looking Out

Posted on by Marty Luster

Water has an endless horizon;

there is no limitation when you

look out into the water. There’s nothing to interfere

with the mind’s eye projecting itself as far as it

can possibly imagine.

Brace Cove, Eastern Point

My friends Surrey and Rob, who live on Eastern Point, have a view of Brace Cove and Brace Rock. Surrey once remarked that she loves it when the rock turns “pink” late in the day. I made this photograph as a wedding present for them. While setting up my tripod and camera to capture the fleeting light, I was attacked by swarms of tiny biting insects, who had colonized the piles of damp seaweed on the beach. After suffering through several exposures, I grabbed my fully extended tripod with camera still attached and ran for the car. I’ve since learned to wear pants and long sleeved shirts, a hat, and carry insect repellant on photographic outings, just as I do for clamming and fishing. Surrey and Rob loved their present, and it hangs in their house to this day. Although I didn’t have it mind when I shot this photo, there’s a similarity between my photo and luminist painter Fitz Henry Lane’s Brace’s Rock, circa 1863–1864. We’re fortunate to have many of his paintings reside at our Cape Ann Museum.
