The Surprise shares the festival spotlight with another legendary tall ship: the Californian, a 145-foot replica of a cutter designed to catch smugglers during the 1840s Gold Rush.
3. Viva Florida 500, Miami
It's named the Juan Sebastian de Elcano, and what sets this tall ship apart is its immense size.
It's damned long: 370 feet. That's longer than an American football field.
Only two other tall ships in the world are larger.
It's tall, too. Its four masts stretch nearly 160 feet into the sky. That's about as high as a 16-story building.
This training vessel for navy midshipmen in Spain's Naval Academy gets around. It has circumnavigated the globe 10 times since its first launch in 1927.
The Juan Sebastian de Elcano is named after the first commander to sail around the world in the 16th century. (De Elcano's captain, Ferdinand Magellan, was killed in the Philippines and didn't complete the voyage.)
The ship will be in Miami to help Florida celebrate 500 years since Europeans discovered what's now the Sunshine State. The vessel is scheduled to anchor at the Port of Miami from May 1-6 with special events at nearby Bicentennial Park. The ship is scheduled to stop at Port Canaveral, Florida, on May 8-10.
4. Toshiba Tall Ships Festival, Dana Point, California
This festival kicks off on September 6, with a parade of nine tall ships sailing from South Laguna to Dana Point Harbor, cannons blazing. The weekend continues with on board tours, concerts, pirate and marine science educational events.
5. Tall ship Elissa, Texas Seaport Museum, Galveston
They say she's the real deal -- a piece of history.
Back in 1877 craftsmen shipwrights in Aberdeen, Scotland, laid the iron hull for a three-masted sailing gem that would be christened Elissa.
Now 136 years later, Elissa is a full-fledged Texan and is billed as one of the longest continuously sailed ships in the country, if not the world.
At full speed, Elissa unfurls 19 sails.
Like all full-rigged tall ships, Elissa has a multitude of rope lines that run the masts from top to bottom. "I love the complexity of that system -- being able to, by hand, put together a sailing ship and keep it stable and safely sailing," said ship's bosun Mark Scibinico.
The 205-foot ship recently underwent a major overhaul to repair plating to its hull, which suffered damage in 2008 from Hurricane Ike. Now it's as good as new, Scibinico said.
Elissa relies on volunteer crews to run its paces. Day sails are offered in the spring and fall. The boat is scheduled to appear April 6 at the Maritime Youth Expo in Seabrook, Texas.
Here's to a great summer, sailors -- may the wind be at your back and the skies red at night.

Florida law would make it a felony to photograph factory farms
text copied below.
in friendship,
About ten years ago while driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco along Interstate 5, we stopped and took some photographs of the Harris Ranch, a huge feedlot operation which provides a lot of meat for California fast food outlets.
We were on a public street, and pulled over and took several shots. (Link at end of article below to original story and photos.)
While taking the shots, a small dark sedan pulled up behind us and parked. The man in the vehicle didn't get out, just watched us.
A few days later, I received a phone message from a detective in the Fresno County Sheriff's Office, wishing to speak with me. I called him back, and "Special Detective Asselin" told me Harris Ranch had reported my license plate and said I had been engaged in "suspicious activity," and he said that on viewing my website, he noticed I was somehow associated with an organization called Earthsave.
After questioning me about Vegsource, Earthsave and why I was taking photographs of what must be the single largest taxpayer in Fresno County (i.e. someone the Fresno County Sheriff's office obviously feels it must keep happy), I guess Detective Asselin was satisfied that I wasn't planning to try to blow something up.
That was the old days...the cops looking out for big corporate farms, harassing people who took photos of the operation.
Today in Florda they're taking it a step further.
A new law SB1246 has been introduced which will make it a felony to do what I did, to simply be on a public street and take a photo of a factory farm, unless you have written permission of the corporation whose farm you snap.
That's right, if Republican state Senator Jim Norman of Florida has his way, it will be a felony to photograph from public property or even set foot onto a factory farm -- and not just any felony, but a first-degree felony, which carries a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison.
So any citizen who might snap a shot from their car while driving past a factory farm, would be viewed as a murderer or rapist under the new law. They just commited a "life felony." (The maximum would be 30 years, mandatory minimum 25.)
And again, it also makes it a first-degree felony if you simply trespass on a factory farm, without written consent.
Here is what the law, proposed by Florida Republican Senator Norman:
(1) A person who enters onto a farm or other property where legitimate agriculture operations are being conducted without the written consent of the owner, or an authorized representative of the owner, commits a felony of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084, Florida Statutes.
(2) A person who photographs, video records, or otherwise produces images or pictorial records, digital or otherwise, at or of a farm or other property where legitimate agriculture operations are being conducted without the written consent of the owner, or an authorized representative of the owner, commits a felony of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084, Florida Statutes.
(3) As used in this section, the term "farm" includes any tract of land cultivated for the purpose of agricultural production, the raising and breeding of domestic animals, or the storage of a commodity.
Note that subsection 2 is independent of subsection 1 — photographing farms would be made a felony even if the photographer isn't trespassing (for instance, because he's on a public road, or lawfully on neighboring property). And not just any felony — a first-degree felony, which is the highest degree felony other than capital crimes and "life felonies" (which carry a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison). The precise term of imprisonment would be dictated by the Florida Sentencing Guidelines, but the maximum would be 30 years.
Plus subsection 1 has problems of its own. First, it makes simple trespasses into serious felonies. Second, it covers even behavior that isn't trespassing, because it covers visits that are based on oral permission (e.g., going to a party at somebody's farm), and visits that would generally be seen as implicitly permitted or otherwise nontrespassory (e.g., stopping at someone's farm to ask for directions, or to sell Girl Scout cookies). And of course this law protects puppy mills from being photographed in any way.
It would seem this should be a First Amendment issue which Florida would have a hard time making stick, though some people could spend a long time in jail while a group like the ACLU worked to have it overturned.
Still, you look at the number of freedoms taken away by the Patriot Act and Homeland Security, and it's not such an illogical next step.
Here is a link to the original story from 10 years ago, when we were investigated and interrogated for simply snapping some shots of a factory farm from the side of a public road: A "Tail" of Harris Ranch photos
here is a thread by gio on this issue specifically:
Two US states move to outlaw unauthorized photos of farming operations

Canada Revenue Agency moves to Muzzle Charities
below is a letter you can send to
in friendship,
As an active volunteer with our local SPCA, it was with absolute shock and
horror that I read that tax exemptions of most animal advocacy groups will be
revoked. Apparently "an activity or purpose is only charitable when it
provides a benefit to humans". Any organization that polices cruel
vivisection practices, or wishes to keep an eye on slaughterhouses, or even
disagrees with any government policy considering the treatment of wild or
domestic animals, will be subject to penalties.
This would allow many barbaric practices to continue without scrutiny. It is
a step backward for civilization. Perhaps you are unaware of the implications
of such actions. Cruelty towards those who are weaker and less able to defend
themselves is easily escalated to society's weakest members, including women
and children. Many of the nation's serial killers started their career by
disregarding the pain they caused to animals. By not enforcing cruelty laws,
or allowing animal charities tax free status so that they can expose
unconscionable acts of cruelty, you are condoning this depraved behavior.
Your department should be aware of public opinion, which is becoming less
tolerant of crimes against animals. It would be unconscionable to not
recognize human activities that are insensitive to the suffering of living
creatures. Would Canada want to be world renown for displaying so little
compassion to those who are weak or have no voice? It is time that people
were educated to realize that animals feel pain and fear. Only the very
basest of human beings are incapable of recognizing this. I hope that you
will use your position to recognize the valuable service that animal charities
just received this good news from super activist lane ferrante who heads up league of humane voters ohio.
she fought and she won!
anthony denicola is a deer exterminator and has been hired by various city clowncils to do the murdering. lane with the help of steve hindi (www.sharkonline.org) worked to stop him. here is an update on the shark website regarding prior activities:
see text below.
lane just doesn't quit! here's more of her initiatives locally.
in friendship,
Hello Friends,
Last November when I called upon you for help to contact the city of Hudson OH
to tell them about Anthony DeNicola and why conducting mass deer slaughter
would not work all of you responded immediately by sending emails to the
council, city mgr and mayor.
Not only did they decide not to contract with De nicola but they had him
investigated!! Without all of you that never would have happened.
I am asking for your help again. At last week's work session it was
unanimously decided that bow hunting should be passed. The first reading will
be May 4th. This councils' Achilles heel is their sensitivity to their fine
reputation. Hudson is a wealthy, quaint, historic town which resembles
Stepford exactly. Unlike most towns, they do care about what outsiders think
and say and that's why I'm calling upon you again to send emails telling them
why they should not allow bow hunting and to focus your message not only on
the horrors of bow hunting but that their fine reputation and respectability
is on the line. Your emails will make a difference and your help once again
is greatly appreciated.
it's funny what happens to constitutional rights when money and convenience come up.
in friendship,
You've got that right!
I don't know if I'm just going bonkers myself, maybe I'm turning into a cranky old codger, but it seems to me that decisions being made by "leaders" these days are more and more ill-conceived, transparently greedy, not forward thinking, and just downright stupid.
I've been trying not to watch news because I get worked up in a negative way when I see so much stupidity (IMO), so I am glad to see the things I care about , such as what you post. I also read Google News now and then to see if I need to take action, write letters, make calls, etc for particularly heinous things.
it is good you've put the word "leaders" in quotes.
at one time people in power really were leaders - much like elders. they got to their position through acquiring respect for their integrity and were trusted for their judgment.
these days politics is nothing more than a money game. politicians abound and do things for money during and after their term. there are exceptions of course, but the honor has long gone from what should be a reputable and lofty profession.
in friendship,
ok this bit about filming is all over now and city hall has lost!
read this item from peta:
(text copied below but you won't get the links unless you click the above one)
in friendship,
We are thrilled to announce that today, after bills that would have
criminalized the filming of cruelty to animals on factory farms died in Florida
and Minnesota, similar bills in Iowa (H.F. 589) and New York (S. 5172) have
also officially died despite aggressive attempts by the meat industry to push
them through! This news comes after months of PETA cross-country campaigning
against the bills. Among other actions taken, Republican strategist Mary
Matalin personally appealed on PETA's behalf to every Republican representative
in Iowa where the GOP-backed bill was closest to passing; Iowa native Cloris
Leachman called on legislators in her home state to reject the bill, which made
Iowa look like it had something to hide; PETA visited each state capital and
met with legislators; and thousands of PETA members and supporters expressed
their outrage against the bills. This is a victory for animals and will protect
undercover investigative work in these states that is crucial to exposing
These pieces of legislation were desperate attempts by agriculture-industry
giants to prevent consumers from learning the truth about how animals on
factory farms suffer and die. Citizens' right to document cruelty to
animals?wherever it occurs?is crucial to helping local, state, and federal
officials enforce anti-cruelty and other animal-protection laws. With the
failure of these bills, we can continue to conduct undercover investigations,
such as our 2008 investigation of an Iowa Hormel supplier, which found that
workers were beating and sexually abusing pigs, to uncover cruelty and ensure
that the abusers are held accountable.
Thank you again for your help in making this possible.

It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved.

Well, here it is!
The Rangers will have their first run with a fresh start on Friday, August 3rd, at 8:00 PM (Sydney), in the Killing Fields south of Tobaro. I'll include a little minimap later for those that don't know where it is.
New Recruits! If there's anybody else going to be joining us (especially new players and new characters), this would be the best opportunity. Previous members that are going to be rejoining will have their membership officially "renewed".
What we do depends who comes along. If we have a fair amount of new players/characters, we'll have a big training session to give out lots of both basic and advanced knowledge and tactics for fighting the Scourge. If it's mostly folks that have seen and been through all that kind of stuff, we'll have a big run through Fakualt and Misty (and possibly some dragons just for kicks). If we have all Mythic-levels, we'll do a big run through the Misty Archipelago.
Hope to see you there!
Just a reminder this is happening tonight! Here's the little minimap of the area south of Tobaro to show where the Killing Fields are:
Feel free to go in ahead of time to acquaint yourself with the area if you want.

It's a wrong notion that pregnant women shouldn't exercise. In fact, most doctors suggest some form of exercise or the other during pregnancy. Some of the best exercises while expecting are brisk walking and light jogging. Both of these activities give the benefits of exercise with little risk of overheating or dehydrating yourself. Another great workout while pregnant is swimming, a great form of cardio. Pilates or Yoga are also perfect exercises for pregnant women. However, women with high-risk pregnancies should avoid exercising all together. Watch Dr Marsha Silberstein explain the benefits of exercising during pregnancy.

I'm Jen, a 30-something, music-loving mommy living in the coolest city in Texas.
About this blog:
Music, life, and more music. I love all kinds of music, but my taste seems to be more alternative/indie/folkish these days. That said, my favorite bands are as mainstream as they come. Coldplay and Snow Patrol feature heavily on this blog, so if you're not a fan of them, you may want to avoid me on Saturdays and Sundays.
I also have a health/fitness/exercise blog: move-eat-behappy.tumblr.com . Check it out if you like. :)
My musical preferences, according to my last.fm: I'm into indie, alternative, rock, folk and acoustic, including:
Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Band of Horses, Mumford & Sons, The Strokes, Death Cab for Cutie, The Swell Season, The Beatles, Tired Pony, Arcade Fire, R.E.M., Muse, The Avett Brothers, Stars, The Civil Wars, Metric, Ra Ra Riot, Travis, Noah And The Whale, Freelance Whales, Quiet Company, Florence + The Machine, Two Door Cinema Club, Vampire Weekend, Iron & Wine, The National, U2, Blind Pilot, Keane, Andrew Bird, Editors, Damien Rice, Ray LaMontagne, Phoenix, Glen Hansard, Fleet Foxes, The Shins, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, The xx, Feist, Broken Bells, The Temper Trap, Spoon, The Sundays, The Black Keys, English Chamber Orchestra, Imogen Heap, Regina Spektor, The Cure.

What can Annie be short for? Throw me your suggestions!
Expecting mystery gender baby in June, wanting to head to the hospital with a short list of both boys and girls names. Got a great list of boys names, struggling majorly with girls options! Love Annie, but would really like a longer version, with Annie as a nickname. Loved Anais for a while, but it's not quite hitting the spot, plus a little concerned about pronunciation here in Australia. Not opposed to a little different, but wanting to steer away from ultra weird. Also not keen on super popular names like Annabelle. Will be a younger sibling to big bro Lior, so something that matches would be great, but for the right name I'm not going to get too hung up on the perfect sibset.
Thank you, oh wise berries

The team missed out on the playoffs last season, but you had to be proud of the way the team finished during the final stretch of games in 2012. Does that give you momentum going into this season?
"There is momentum because the guys from last year know what it takes to win and go on a run like that. It's unfortunate we missed out on the playoffs because we had what every playoff team needed at the end of the season, and that's momentum. I really think we would have faired well in the postseason had we made it. But it's a clean slate now, and everyone is starting at zero points."
How excited are you to begin your first full season as the head coach of a men's professional soccer club?
"It's kind of a dual feeling. On one hand, I'm just relieved because this opportunity has been a long time coming for me. I've always wanted to be a head coach and now I get to fulfill that dream. On the other hand, I am very excited. I can't wait to get going."
How has the offseason been on and off the field?
"The offseason was good in a lot of different ways. I was able to go see a lot of games, and take a lot away from them. I spent a significant amount of time with my good friend Dominic Kinnear and his team, the Houston Dynamo. He let me observe their practices and even go to some of their late-season and playoff games. The thing I really admire about Dominic's teams is that they're always soaring by the time the playoffs roll around. They're always ready for the big games. It also goes without saying that it was really nice to spend time with my family. After coming to Atlanta, my son decided to start playing soccer again, so I've enjoyed watching him play down in Houston. I got to spend a lot of time watching my daughter sing and pursue her love for art. It was tough being away from them during the season, so the offseason has allowed me to make up for that lost time."
The club just held its final local combine. How was the level of play and were you able to discover any talent that might be able to help the team out in the future?
"The level was pretty good, especially at the second combine, which was this past weekend. I saw at least six players that I believe are good enough to come in and compete for a spot during the preseason. One or two of those players could even fight for a starting spot. I'd say that is a pretty good return for an open tryout."
The club exercised options on 11 players back in early November, leaving plenty of open spots on the team. How has the offseason recruiting and contract negotiations been going?
"We wanted to make sure that everyone returning from last year's team truly wanted to be back and be a part of what we're doing here. It was important to get back the nucleus from last year, which I think we did. We're hopefully wrapping up negotiations on a handful of players this week."
If you could give the fans a message about the upcoming season, what would you tell them?
"This season, the fans are going to be able to come watch a team that will always give their best. There isn't going to be a single player on the field for our team that won't be giving their all game in and game out. I want to make Atlanta Silverbacks Park a place that opposing teams don't want to come to. I want our place to be somewhere where it's hard for an away team to even earn a tie. This is our home and we're going to protect it, and we're going to be die-hard in that mentality."
While you were back home with your family in Houston this offseason, what did you miss most about Atlanta?
"I think just the daily routine – getting up and going to work to do what I'm most passionate about. I just missed the little things and the camaraderie with everyone. We were really a close-knit bunch at the end of the season last year."
What was your favorite Christmas gift this year?
"Actually it was a book from my wife. It's called "Marriage Made Easy" and it honestly was a great gift. It was good for someone who is in this line of work, where you sometimes have to be away from your family for extended periods of time."
Who do you fancy to win the English Premier League and Champions League this year?
"I'll take Manchester United to win the EPL, and I'll take Bayern Munich to win the Champions League. I know all of the hoopla is around Messi and Barcelona and even Borussia Dortmund right now, but I think Bayern has something to prove. Their time might be coming."
