Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.
I really like tall ships and every year I have looked to the Dublin Maritime Festival but there was no festival in 2011 or 2012 but instead there is the Tall Ship Races 2012.
The Tall Ships' Races are races for sail training "tall ships" (sailing ships). The races are designed to encourage international friendship and training for young people in the art of sailing. The races are held annually in European waters and consists of two racing legs of several hundred nautical miles, and a "cruise in company" between the legs. Over one half (fifty-percent) of the crew of each ship participating in the races must consist of young people.
Between 1973 and 2003 the races were known as The Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Races, having been sponsored by Cutty Sark whisky. From 2004 to 2010 the races were supported by The City, Province, and Port of Antwerp. The current sponsor of the Tall Ships' Races 2010–2014 is the city of Szczecin.
The term tall ship came into widespread use in the mid-20th century with the advent of the Tall Ships' Races, and was not generally used in the era when such ships were the norm. The term's popularity may have stemmed from its use in a well-known nautical poem by English Poet Laureate John Masefield entitled "Sea-Fever", first published in 1902.
Participating vessels are manned by a largely cadet or trainee crew who are partaking in sail training, 50 percent of which must be aged between 15–25 years of age and who do not need any previous experience. Thus, tall ship does not describe a specific type of sailing vessel, but rather a monohull sailing vessel of at least 9.4 metres (30 ft) that is conducting sail training and education under sail voyages. Participating ships range from yachts to the large square-rigged sail training ships run by charities, schools and navies of many countries.
2012
Race One started in Saint Malo (France) (Thursday 5 July to Sunday 8 July) to Lisbon (Portugal) (Saturday 19 July to Sun 22 July).
Race Two was from Lisbon to Cadiz (Spain) (Thursday 26 July to Sunday 29 July).
Cruise in company to A Coruña (Spain) (Friday 10 August to Monday 13 August).
Race Three from A Coruña to Dublin (Ireland) (Thursday 23 August to Sunday 26
The multi-national fleet will race from Dublin across the Irish Sea and dock in Liverpool from Thursday August 30 for a four-day event running until Sunday September 2. This last bit of information is confusing as Dublin has made the following claim: "As the final host port for the Tall Ships Races 2012, Dublin will be the place to be from the 23rd to the 26th of August 2012". On investigating the matter I was informed that there is an additional event known as The "Irish Sea Tall Ships Regatta".
Commenting on the Irish Sea Tall Ships Regatta, Peter Cardy, Chief Executive of Sail Training International, said: “Liverpool has a rich maritime history and has been a great friend to sail training which has helped to develop a strong willingness throughout the Tall Ships family to return to the city. We hope that the Irish Sea Tall Ships Regatta could become a recurring fixture in the busy calendar of events that is enjoyed by the residents of Liverpool as well as the many visitors to this fantastic city.”

Minneapolis, Minnesota
November 25, 2014 around 7pm
The march was around 2000 people. Some marchers crossed over into the southbound traffic, which was at a standstill, and walked through the cars. Around 20 protesters walked down the ramp to I-35 to consider marching down the interstate highway. The rest of the march continue north on Hiawatha. The march stopped for 15 minutes to create a rally at Augsburg College.
Common chants during the march:
No justice. No peace. Prosecute the police.
Hands up. Don't shoot.
When I say Michael, you say Brown. Michael. Brown. Michael. Brown.
Black lives matter.

A little different! Some fun in the house this afternoon! Twelve nails balanced on the head of one nail and a Sparkler firework. Bev said "That's cool! Did you set the smoke alarm off dear?!"
Sometimes, if you turn over a rock in the Galapagos Archipelago, you won't find a slimy bloodsucking parasite mimicking a naturalist guide. Certainly not today, because that one has left the crew and been replaced by the real deal, a proper naturalist who turned over a rock beneath which was this mother and her babies.
Once he shared this discovery with everyone, rather than just those with leaking purses, he carefully replaced the stone; showing genuine care and concern for Nature.
Indeed the whole tenor of the adventure changed. The crew relaxed, became more jovial, and let down their guard. The Purser, according to the naturalist, was Mosquito — because he was SO annoying. Mosquito called the naturalist Chicken; but wouldn't reveal why, and both of them said the bar steward was Turkey. Again, it was a secret. That didn't matter! It was all in good jest.
The rock? Oh, it was behind the barrel at Post Office Bay, and Chicken was idly turning over rocks while everyone else was writing postcards home, never knowing when, or if they would be delivered. These places, in the right company, induce that relaxation of care, while giving you the space to enjoy the little things.
This Hubble image features a massive cluster of brightly glowing galaxies, first identified as Abell 3192. Like all galaxy clusters, this one is suffused with hot gas that emits powerful X-rays, and it is enveloped in a halo of invisible dark matter. All this unseen material – not to mention the many galaxies visible in this image – comprises such a huge amount of mass that the galaxy cluster noticeably curves spacetime around it, making it into a gravitational lens. Smaller galaxies behind the cluster appear distorted into long, warped arcs around the cluster’s edges.
The galaxy cluster is in the constellation Eridanus, but the question of its distance from Earth is a more complicated one. Abell 3192 was originally documented in the 1989 update of the Abell catalog of galaxy clusters that was first published in 1958. At that time, Abell 3192 was thought to comprise a single cluster of galaxies, concentrated at a single distance. However, further research revealed something surprising: the cluster’s mass seemed to be densest at two distinct points rather than one.
It was subsequently shown that the original Abell cluster is actually comprised of two independent galaxy clusters – a foreground group around 2.3 billion light-years from Earth, and another group at the greater distance of about 5.4 billion light-years from our planet. The more distant galaxy cluster, included in the Massive Cluster Survey as MCS J0358.8-2955, is central in this image. The two galaxy groups are thought to have masses equivalent to around 30 trillion and 120 trillion times the mass of the Sun, respectively. Both of the two largest galaxies at the center of this image are part of MCS J0358.8-2955; the smaller galaxies you see here, however, are a mixture of the two groups within Abell 3192.

Economics As If Survival Mattered. John Michael Greer takes on economics, a subject in desperate need of his characteristic, level-headed analysis. The usual growth oriented fantastical notions that have plagued the subject over the last half century were in particular need of such cool headed dispatching. Greer starts with the fallacy of the law of supply and demand by handily pointing out that you cannot demand what is simply not there. Uh duh. Our economic system does not inventory the depletion of natural resources and just keeps on assuming that its existence is a given.
In addition, Greer gives us language to explain how the science of economics got so full of itself that it thought it could create its own reality. He divides up the economy into three parts. There's the Primary which encompasses all the planet's natural resources and services, the Secondary which includes the goods made by humans from these resources and the Tertiary which refers to the financial sector. It is this last category that has come to dominate, spinning a web of ever more complex derivative products that have promised the world an endless possibility of wealth pulled from thin air. That is to say, it is based on the promises of wealth from tomorrow's production from resources that likely will not even be there.
Ancient Rome was in much the same financial straights using a debt driven economy that ran aground once actual resources were unable to keep up with demand. In fact it was because of Rome's financial shenanigans that the Christians came up with the part about usury being a sin. I've always wondered why that was so important to the Christians (and Muslims and Jews). In the epoch following the Roman empire, people went back to a life without loans and a lifestyle that didn't revolve around money. Peasants survived on the land they farmed using barter and embraced a feudal lord who offered them protection in exchange for a part of their crops. This was the Middle Ages.
So forget a retirement which is just another construct of the industrial age. Greer is convinced that we are in the twilight of the age of investment. The growth economy simply isn't going to grow anymore to bring in a return. The promise that invested money will outperform the faltering economy of goods and services is simply a publicly accepted fantasy, a faith based system.
Greer ferrets out the last assumption of our flawed economic system, the one my financial advisor holds dear, and that is that the discovery of new technology and new sources of energy will bring back the economy we assume is our birthright. Not going to happen. The energy required to pull this last rabbit out of the hat will be more than the energy we can gain from such efforts Greer says, because there is no resource as dense or as easily brought to market as fossil fuels have been. Same goes for the chimera of a perpetual motion machine because of the law of thermodynamics. Reading his argument makes me feel like a butterfly pinned to a board.
He does have a series of recommendations involving the tax structure and the regulation of corporate activity. I especially like his suggestion that we take corporate personhood to its logical end and serve corporations the death penalty for murder when appropriate. But it is his advice that we follow E.F. Schumacher's small-is-beautiful principle that is the motivating factor for me because it gives me and all the other home tinkerers something to do. Officially termed the Principle of Subsidiary Function this principle puts forth that we use only as much energy as necessary from as local a source as possible to get a job done.
We, who make ourselves intimately acquainted with the amount of energy we need to house and feed ourselves (and provide hot showers and cold beer), are in a far better position to determine what changes we are willing to cultivate in order to insure a palatable future on a diminished energy budget. Because, as Greer points out, the larger economy is only interested in figuring out how to keep the existing system going and this will inevitably lead to collapse of these multi-layered complex systems. Turning away from complexity and investing in far simpler ways of providing for our needs is the solution Greer affords us. Judging from the number of books that blend emergency prep with ongoing sustainable, off-grid living practices, he is not alone in this plan. But rather than rest with the disaster scenario, Greer offers a satisfying exposé of the delusions that have brought us to this disaster prone existence. It is a less anxiety producing approach to know that we must move away from the delusions rather than just be prepared to weather the breakdowns.
