Dec 17, 2013 at 1:15 pm #1311120
Bad weather in Pa has given me the opportunity to test gear and put 'em through possible scenarios. Besides sleeping outside (my daughter thinks there's something wrong with me)i've been trying to figure out the best way to get a 8×10 tarp setup so there's no sagging. No matter how I've tried, each time i moved a stake to tighten up one end of the tarp the other end would would need adjusted. I have a BearPaw 8×10 sil nylon tarp that I want to use.
This setup would collect snow and rain
what happened after a few hours
Any help on length of lines or anything else
thanksDec 17, 2013 at 4:13 pm #2055328
I am far from an expert, as I am just getting into the flat tarp thing, but coming from shaped tarps it looks like the ridge line had a good sag to it when you first started. I have found in my trials that the tighter I am able to establish the ridge of the tarp the better everything else follows.
I had to shift from the little Shepard hooks I was using to an actual tent peg (carbon Ruta Locure) to give me enough bite to get the tension necessary to create a tight flat ridge. then I was able to use the smaller hooks for the rest of the tarp.
I am using a cuben tarp, but i would think that with Sil you should be able to get a much tighter stretch on the ridge and even the corner tie outs.
I use 6-8 ft guys from the tips of my poles on the ridge and I use 3 ft at the corners and sides.
again, there are others here much more skilled than I, but this is my first impression of the challenge you are working with.
Best of luck

Im just starting out as well but I thought a half pyramid is best for rain and snow?Dec 17, 2013 at 5:35 pm #2055351

You can try a bunch of different pitches , there are some good youtube videos, but for the a frame, you need to get that ridge line tighter, maybe with beefier stakes, and try moving the stakes for the four corners farther in front of the tarp end, better angle. Also remember that sil stretches and will need to give tightened an our or so in, or use some of the elastic tubing guys.Dec 17, 2013 at 6:36 pm #2055369

This is how I get a perfectly taut A-frame pitch:
1 – Stake 1 rear corner with your desired guyline length.
2 – Raise rear peak to approximate/visualize angle and height.
3 – Holding the peak in one hand, stretch out the other rear corner and stake it down symmetrically to the first. Leave rear peak unstaked for now.
4 – Go around and attach front ridgeline peak to pole and stake that out. Don't be afraid to really pull this outward tightly, I'm always surprised how much strength I can use here if my stakes hold. Your pole should kind of balance on its own now.
5 – Go back to the rear peak and stake that out, again really putting in some muscle to get your ridgeline as tight as possible.
6 – Finally, stake out your front two corners in a similar fashion as the rear.
7 – Stake out any side guylines you might have left.
8 – Readjust tension at any of the stake points.
Some things that help me do this:
– At the peaks, I let the guyline go up to the pole before going back down to the ground, instead of having the pole directly connecting to the tarp like it appears you do in your photos.
– I use Linelocs to adjust tension, makes initial readjustment and sag adjustment easy.
– For the corner guys, I angle them more to the front ends than a perfect 45deg angle.
– I use MSR Groundhog stakes for all my points. Small weight penalty, but man can I tug on that ridgeline without these budging.
I agree that you could start by trying out a tighter ridgeline, but accumulation of snow will eventually sag the large panels of sil anyway. Steeper sides can help with this, but then you obviously might have more exposed ends. In the real world you'd just have to periodically swat snow off.Dec 18, 2013 at 11:00 am #2055590

The above suggestions are all good. But a gear design issue would help you a lot: pullout tabs in the middle of each side of the tarp. They will prevent snow/rain pileup and also give you a lot more usable headroom under the tarp.
An example:
If you want to add pullouts on your tap, David at OWare can do it well for a very reasonable fee.Dec 18, 2013 at 11:06 am #2055591

For mild weather and ease of set up, I like a simple lean to. Tie the corners on one side off to 2 trees and pin the other side to the ground with stakes. A very short set up time and requires very little stakes and line.Dec 18, 2013 at 11:25 am #2055599
Fortunately my bearpaw has those tie outs already. I was getting really discouraged at the amount of time I spent trying to get it to work in bad weather. I guess I'll need to practice a few times. I'm hoping to take it out on the JMT or SHR next year. The last time I was on the SHR we didn't really need a shelter and cowboy camped.Dec 18, 2013 at 11:34 am #2055603

The half pyramid is my favorite, or you can lift one side flap up too. If like to see more pictures! Also silnylon is sort of annoying when it gets wet…Dec 18, 2013 at 12:12 pm #2055610

Looks to me like your front line just came loose. It obviously has to be tight to get a good ridgeline. I almost always tie that line to a tree, root or other solid natural object. Then it can't pull out.Dec 19, 2013 at 1:45 am #2055860
Derek M.BPL Member
@dmusasheLocale: Pacific Northwest
+1 on what Ben said. Tie one or both of your ridge lines off to solid natural anchors whenever possible. These will suddenly become more numerous when you start intentionally looking for them.
If your ridge line is the tight, the rest of the setup will be easy to dial in.Dec 19, 2013 at 4:33 am #2055868

Yeah, I agree that it appears to be incorrectly done from the get-go.
Ridgeline This is always a problem. Tension is the key as others have said. On A-Frame pitches ("Pup" tent pitches) this is always difficult. Attaching to trees always helps but there is always some you cannot get out. Your best bet is to drop one end for better water countrol. I only use one trekking pole and a found stick about 12-16" long for the "back". This will insure good run-off, good cross-ventilation, additional wind resistance and add some staking power to the rear. Of course, choose your ground so the water does not flow back under. MANY manufaturors do this with shaped tarps anyway. No reason you cannot do this with a flat one, is there? A tapered ridge line will also help "create" a bit of ventilation on still nights. Heat rising from your body will slide along the tarp in the direction of the highest point.
Staking looks to be off. Ideally, for good tension and holding, you want your stakes and guy lines along the diagonals. You don't seem to be close to this, but it could be the picture. Staking is MUCH facilitated by longer guy lines. The length of the guy line increases the leverage the stake has on the ground, hence tension on the tarp.
Of course, there are a lot of different pitches. Often, these are just sort of made-up as you go. I often use an ADK Lean-too type pitch with mine. This is just a lean to with a shorter roof segment over the front. Generally you need a couple loops at about 1/4-1/3 the length of the tarp, though. It stands about 6' high at the ridge and is easily heated with a fire. A partial lean-too uses about a quarter of each side to pull down as "wings; good for staking, wind resistance and will trap a bit more heat from any fire. A diamond is a good pitch for cooler weather with no fire; staked down on one corner then pulled tight over the pole at the diagonal. A minimal staking pitch(partial pyramid) is three stakes. A half pyramid requires 4 stakes. A Pup tent requires 6 stakes. And so on…Dec 19, 2013 at 7:58 am #2055903

I would make it taller with steeper walls, use linelocs on the ridgeline tieouts to make it as tight as possible. Snow sticks to Silnylon so walls need to be steep, or snow shaken off regularly.Dec 19, 2013 at 9:38 am #2055928

@brooklynkayakLocale: South West US
An open A-frame wouldn't be my choice for cold weather, unless one end is blocked by an object to reduce the amount of air blowing through.
You have half pyramids or modified A-frame options for a better cold weather pitch.
As a general rule, you need a lot of tension on the ridgeline stakeouts, with not nearly as much on the corners and barely tight on the mid tie-outs.
Slinylon expands when temps drop and so needs re-tightening once or twice after setup.
Be careful that your knots don't slip as well. Gusty winds can cause adjustable hitches to slip a little over time.
Line locks allow for easy adjustment without slippage.
Some adjustable hitches will hold better than others but can be harder to adjust in the cold.
I prefer whoppie slings on the ridge ties for their strength, grip and ease of adjust-ability, but whoopies won't work for close pitched corner and center tie-outs.Dec 19, 2013 at 8:31 pm #2056139

I sold my 8×10 flat tarp and bought a catenary shaped tarp. I just couldn't get the flat tarp tight enough to defeat physics….Dec 21, 2013 at 7:38 pm #2056732
This worked out real good. I've had the tent up for a day and used the msr groundhog stakes. we've had quite a bit of rain the past 24 hrs here in Pittsburgh and the tarp has held up quite well. only issues i have now is some leaky spots where the tie outs are but I'll fix them with some silicone. thanks for everyones inputDec 21, 2013 at 7:50 pm #2056737Dec 22, 2013 at 5:56 am #2056785

Your modified A-frame pitch is a common pitch in snow.
You can go a little lower in the front and or block the door a bit with a poncho, jacket, umbrella and/or pack if spindrift is going to be a problem.
I use a UL bivy(7 oz) under my tarp in the winter for this and the warmth reasons.Dec 22, 2013 at 8:59 am #2056822
Thank you for the info Steve. I was concerned with snow loading, especially if I lowered the front, effectively flattening out the side angles. I have a cuben Borah bivy that I plan to use here as well.

text: TSX: FR NYSE: AG Frankfurt: FMV VANCOUVER, March 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - First Majestic Silver Corp. ("First Majestic" or the "Company") (NYSE: AG; TSX: FR) is pleased to announce the following personnel promotions and changes. In the ongoing effort to continually improve operations and to realize further operational efficiencies over the coming years, after achieving the senior producer status in 2013, the Company has decided to promote Mr. Salvador García to the role of Chief Operating Officer starting July 1, 2014. Mr. García has been partnering with Mr. Ramon Davila to manage the Company's Mexican operations since January 2013 and has proven his ability to take over this important operational role. Mr. García is well respected and highly regarded within the Mexican mining industry with over 35 years' experience in senior positions in all aspects of mining operations. Prior to joining First Majestic in January 2013, Mr. García held several positions, most recently as Vice President Mexico, for Goldcorp. Mr. García was with Luismin prior to its acquisition by Goldcorp (NYSE:GG; TSX:G) for a period of 25 years. He worked in positions ranging from Mine Superintendent, General Manager and Operations Director and was later promoted to the senior management team of Goldcorp as Vice President Mexico. While in those positions, he was responsible for the operations at the Tayoltita and San Antonio mines and was involved in the development, construction and operation of the Los Filos, El Sauzal and Peñasquito mines. Mr. Garcia graduated with a bachelor's degree in mine engineering from the School of Mines at the University of Guanajuato. Consistent with the Company's successions plans, Mr. García will replace Mr. Davila who will remain on the Board of Directors. Mr. Davila will also continue to act as the Company's Governmental Relations Officer in Mexico and will remain a member on the Chamber of Mines representing First Majestic. Mr. Davila has held the position of Chief Operating Officer since December 2003 and will retire from that position on June 30, 2014. Mr. Davila stated, "What a long and exciting journey it has been over the past 10 years. I've had the opportunity to head the Mexican team to the dream of taking First Majestic to the level of a senior silver producer. When you have the willingness, there's no place to go but up. I would like to thank Mr. Keith Neumeyer, the Board of Directors, and all of our staff for their friendship and support, and I look forward to continually working with First Majestic and its Board of Directors in the years to come in my Directorship role". Keith Neumeyer, President and CEO of First Majestic states, "As many of our shareholders know, 2013 was our tenth year anniversary and we have achieved our initial goal of building a company that produces over 10 million ounces of silver per year. We were able to reach this goal because of the depth and breadth of our management team and the continuous efforts the entire team brings to the table every day. We are now turning the page on a new chapter for First Majestic. Our focus has now been elevated toward reaching 20 million ounces of silver production and I truly believe we have the experienced team and the quality assets to accomplish this new goal. Many achievements have been realized over the past 10 years and a lot of hard work remains to achieve this new goal, but everyone is ready for the new challenge. I would personally like to thank Ramon Davila for his many years of hard work and dedication in assisting in the development of First Majestic to reach its goals to date." In addition, First Majestic is also pleased to announce the following personnel changes within the Operations and Geological teams in an effort to organize operations and geology for greater efficiency and effectiveness.

Nuclear Power
Nuclear power is any nuclear technology designed to extract usable energy from atomic nuclei via controlled nuclear reactions. The only method in use today is through nuclear fission, though other methods might one day include nuclear fusion and radioactive decay (see below). All utility-scale reactors heat water to produce steam, which is then converted into mechanical work for the purpose of generating electricity or propulsion. In 2009, 15% of the world's electricity came from nuclear power.
Nuclear Weapons
A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction, and their use and control has been a major aspect of international policy since their debut.
In the history of warfare, two nuclear weapons have been detonated offensively. On the morning of 6 August 1945 the United States dropped a device code-named 'Little Boy' on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, the United Stated dropped a second bomb; code named 'Fat Man' it was dropped on the city of Nagasaki, Japan. These bombings resulted in the immediate deaths of around 80,000 people (mostly civilians). A further 40,000 people are believed to have died from long-term effects of radiation poisoning.

EVIDENCE of "substantial" numbers of fraudulent legal aid applications has been highlighted by government auditors.
But the National Audit Office has described the Legal Aid Board's systems for checking means tests as "robust" in a report on civil aid means testing which was released last Friday.
The report, issued just two days after the announcement of the Lord Chancellor's measures to clamp down on the abuse of aid by the apparently wealthy, calls on the board to step up its measures to prevent fraudulent applications.
In the year 1993 to 1994 the board investigated 8,783 cases where third parties alleged fraud.
The report says applicants were failing to disclose their true means "in a substantial number of cases".
The report adds: "Evidence from the low level of prosecutions and from the percentage of cases which are abandoned because of non co-operation raises concerns whether suspect cases are sufficiently pursued to deter fraudulent applications."
MPs will have an opportunity to question the board's chief executive Steve Orchard on the report and the measures being employed to prevent legal aid abuse by the wealthy when he appears before the Government's public accounts committee later this month.
The Lord Chancellor's decision to set up a special investigations unit to uncover abuse by the apparently wealthy has been broadly welcomed by the Law Society.
But president Martin Mears has ridiculed some of the details of the new regulations, such as powers to take the resources of an applicant's friends and relatives into account when assessing aid.

After a few months of hunger and coughing and instinct, we were commanded to leave the camp. We were to be moved a far way away from here, but no one quite knew why.
Foolish me, I thought it meant more trains. But no. I got to do what I longed to do, I got to run. I had been longing to run for nearly a year and a half, but we never got
to do much more than sprint at full speed. I'd forgotten how running felt like.
I'd hoped it would bring some spirit, some of the sun's warmth, back into me.
I again think of how foolish I was. The smoke had eclipsed the sun long ago. My world was masked in ashes and ice.
I didn't realize how fortunate I was. Even my starved body was better suited for this than the others around me. After years of training, the hard miles did come in
handy. Eventually. Not in the way I'd imagined.
I waited for my cradle-rocking stride, for the calm to settle in.
The cold clawed at my throat. Sweat and winter cold soaked my thin clothes. I shivered violently, unable to keep my body warm. My skinny knees ached, and my skinnier ankles ached even more.
The calm never came. Only pain did.
Any glimmer of the sun winked out of existence.
They had taken away not only my family or my humanity. They didn't just take my food. They took my running, the only thing I thought I had left.
Any light, any hope, died in my eyes then. My heart weakened until it took conscious effort to keep it pumping.
I was an animal. I was what they made me.
I dwindled. I starved. I ran like the world was tied to my shoulders.
I was an animal. Herded away for the slaughter.

The Metla Building stands out on the campus of the University of Joensuu due to its material and its concise form. From the exterior, the building appears to be a wood box. The forecourt, which is the gate to the building and which is demarcated by the walls made from logs from demolished houses. The offices and laboratory facilities of the research institute curl around the inner courtyard and the vestibule. The yard is dominated by the conference facilities, which resemble a boat that has been turned upside down, and the sloped columns of the vestibule, which have been inspired by the log booms from floating logs down rivers.

The project demonstrates how architecture can delicately integrate in nature. Designed by Graça Correia and Roberto Ragazzi, it is located on a plot bordering the Cavado River in the Gerês region of Portugal. It elegantly composes with the natural surroundings, as its pure volumetric form with its concrete finish anchors itself on one side, and then protrudes in the air with an impressive cantilever that points toward the river.

Yatzer has an in-depth article about the new BMW Museum by Atelier Bruecknen in Munich. Opened on June 21st, 2008, it sets a new standard in the realm of brand-focused museums. Along with the BMW Welt, opened in October 2007, and the BMW factory tour, the museum is the final component of the BMW Triad, where two million visitors are expected annually.
In contrast to construction projects of other automobile manufactures, the new museum building would not originate in a green meadow; instead, it was a matter of integrating the new museum into the existing structural fabric of the group headquarters in Munich, according to the brochures handed out at the start of the tour. Here, trendsetting architecture already had a presence from the original 1973 plans of the Viennese architect Karl Schwanzer. This ensemble consists of the "Four Cylinder" high-rise construction, the adjoining low buildings, and the "Museum Bowl" which carries the BMW logo on the roof, and has subsequently developed into a landmark of the car group.

The southern edge of Los Banos [in the San Joaquin valley], where only dusty roads and distant silos interrupt the endless landscape of tilled Central Valley soil, seems an unlikely place to happen upon the work of America's architectural icon. But past the cattle feedlot and leaning hay barn, deep in a field where winter wheat and cantaloupe mark the seasons, sits a ranch house designed by an aging Frank Lloyd Wright.

In the early 1950s Richard Neutra conceived a 2,500-square-foot log house in Bozeman, Montana, featuring hand-hewn logs in a nod to the state's vernacular.
Neutra was invited to deliver a lecture on his perceptions of urbanism in the West for a university summer program at Bozeman. Nick Helburn, a professor of geography at Montana State University, fondly remembers the architect sarcastically remarking that suburban ranch developments were characterized by "seven feet of ranch on one side of the house and seven feet on the other." Helburn also recalls being particularly impressed with Neutra's position on landscape and nature. After Neutra's lecture, Helburn introduced himself and asked if the architect might be interested in working with him and his wife on a "small and modest project."
Neutra decided the house was to be of log construction from the outset and that this decision was made with financial, technical and aesthetic concerns in mind. The more unusual aspects of the project are the sod roof, the log construction and the radiant heating system.

The Tjibaou Centre Cultural in New Caledonia commemorates Jean-Marie Tijibaou, who sought Kanak independence from France. France enlisted Renzo Piano for this center after his death.
The 10 "cases" resemble the vernacular of the region, with consistent bowed vertical framing and wood ribs. The unique structure displays the Kanak ingenuity of building design, a clear statement to the world of something special. The structures addresses the difficulties of finding a way to express traditions of the Pacific in modem language. The 10 hut-like structures of the centre, of up to nine storeys, are organized into three villages.

- - Long axle bow vs. short (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/bow-hunting/12314-long-axle-bow-vs-short.html)
Long axle bow vs. short
Is it easier to draw a long axle bow than a short axle? Or do you think it makes any difference? I'm short so i have always liked the shorter axle bows. I've also got a weak shoulder due to an old injury so my Max draw weight is 42 pounds. We were shotting with some relatives this morning and hubby insisted I pull back his cousin's Rally. Holy cow at 45 pounds it felt like nothing. The Rally is 37 inches axle to axle and my Craze and PSE Stiletto are alot shorter at 28 inches and 29 3/4 inches. Just thought is see what everyone's opinion is on this. Maybe the Rally is just easier to draw. Maybe it was just me? I don't know. Or maybe I just ate my wheaties this morning.
Well there are mixed views on this subject. It has more to do with the cam design and brace height, distance from the string to the riser, I believe than anything else. The more the cam is elongated away from a circle/round wheel design the more aggressive the draw cycle will be. It is also true that single cam bows draw easier than two cam bows. With all that said i believe that a lot of new bows are so improved that a short bow with a mild cam that shoots relatively quick can be found for you. Many years ago there was support that longer bows were more forgiving for shooters that didn't have the most perfect form. I shot a 38" bow at that time. Improvements come every year that help shooters like yourself to find bows that can be shot well. Another item to check out is, if legal for you, and with shoulder problems like me, I have switched to a crossbow with very good results. It keeps me in the woods for archery season. Hope this helps some.
My PSE Stiletto shoots pretty quick for a short draw bow so im very happy with it. I was just curious about the difference. They did make crossbows legal in Kansas so i would like to get one to try. I think a crossbow would get my kids out in the woods after deer more too. They just don't quite have enough strength to use a compound bow on deer yet. A crossbow would let them be able to hunt during our early archery season when the weather's not to cold yet.
I was in the same boat
My Hoyt Rampage XT is a 32" ATA is very fast accurate & light but with the very aggressive cams I have to be in top shape to draw it had a shoulder injury 2 years ago & almost gave up that season like HM stated it is mostly the cam design that affects how hard or easy it is to draw not the length of the bow
longer brace heights affect this also shorter brace heights will be harder to draw less forgiving on a "not so good shot" but are generally faster
I would look for a bow with a brace height of around 7" & mild cams
don't get stuck in the name game get a bow that is comfortable for you & try as many as you can
This past month's Field & Stream magazine has a really good article that addresses some myths and misconceptions about bows. 3 guys took either 4 or 5 top ranked bows and put them through rigorous testing as to the effects of longer vs shorter, longer or shorter stabilizers, fall away vs biscuit rests, brace height(this was especially interesting) effects of bow length on ease of draw, etc. I looked on their website for the article but couldn't find it, my magazine got tossed by mistake. Perhaps those of you not electronically challenged like myself(that would be everyone) could find it there, or look at a news stand for a copy. Best bow test I've seen where the effects of the different components are compared.
TLF is this it?
Do Longer Brace Heights Make Bows More Forgiving? | Field & Stream
I will say that I agree the whisker biscuit is just as accurate BUT have seen a lot of issues with the Biscuit damaging Fletches. Only reason why I went to a dropaway
Yeah Dep, that's it, but like it says that's only 1 part of it. Better to get the magazine so you can read all of the comparisons they did. I'm pretty sure they cover K Doe's question. I went to a fall away rest also about three years ago, wish I would've got one that encapsulates the arrow, but this one is fine. I use a crossbow half the time, depends on the day(shoulder wise).
I did the same thing had a smart rest & that was part of by drawing issue during my shoulder problem so I upgraded to a QAD rest & absolutely love it.
from what I have seen & read it just proves my point it really comes down to comfort their groups show it no matter your setup the groups were all close enough that it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference in the hunting world IMO if it feels good to you & you become confident in your set-up that is what really matters with todays bows
That's the whole thing, find something you like, can shoot well, and is quiet. When I installed a drop-away rest my groups reduced big time. Nobody I hunt with ever used a bisket rest so I can't say either way if they affect arrow speed or any other negative impacts.
they claim you don't lose speed but the bristles are in contact during "take off" & they do tend to damage fletches mostly 4" vanes so how can it not have an effect on it

Why "The New Trophy Wife" deserves a closer look.
(Dragging out my soapbox 'cause I'm short)
Kristen Houghton published an article a few days ago called "The New Trophy Wife" that essentially suggests the new definition of a trophy wife is a woman who's got looks AND brains AND power.
Overall, while it's encouraging to see anything that remotely supports women's success and intelligence… It's hard for me to cheer for this specific message. At best, our inclination to accept it just highlights the dearth of positive messages about women, particularly married women.
This isn't new.
The fact that people choose to marry intelligent, successful, beautiful women is not news.
An expose on how popular narratives have intentionally obscured the truth about women's power, brilliance and accomplishments for centuries would be news. An expose on how policy limits women's success and promotes hyper-sexualized views of girls and women is news. An expose on how women's oppression has reacted with racism and classism to destroy lives all over the world is news.
Especially because so many of us women have been conditioned to avoid rocking the boat on our issues. God forbid I'm not only a woman, but a black woman as well the challenge is even greater. How dare I choose the wrong movement at any given moment? In fact, every moment of every day I live out the movement, demanding black lives matter. Yes all women. Bring back our girls.
We can see the eyes rolling, hear the uncomfortable silence, anticipate the dismissive counterarguments. Success, power, and a platform should empower us to support other women, particularly those who haven't achieved a type of popular success.
Not to mention, why reinforce the idea that wives should be "eye candy"? We should absolutely be healthy and demonstrate self-care and self-love. I actually tried for years to convince myself objectification was a compliment (it's not.) So how is objectifying a woman while saying the age of objectification is ending even logical?
Why promote the idea that a professionally successful woman is more intelligent, powerful and equal to a man than a domestically successful woman? This kind of limited standard setting, which deceptively reinforces status quo by suggesting certain marginalized groups are inching towards mainstream definition of standard, does us all a disservice. As a result ideals are consistently set below the true mark and we remain trapped in a cycle of patching up the problem of coming up short.
The fact that we live in a patriarchal society simply does not, by default, mean that the privilege of those in power is an ideal all might benefit from attaining. Accepting this default enables the mindset that women who fail to attain what men do are less than. A short step away from that is the mindset that women who fail to be what men want are less than.
We should absolutely value and celebrate the contribution of wives who are mothers and household managers. We should absolutely value and celebrate the contribution of single women who are caretakers, missionaries and students as well as those who are successful in the marketplace.
What if we celebrated strength of character and values, integrity, determination, overcoming, creativity and commitment… Instead of some version of dollars, beauty and stilettos? Huh. Dollars, beauty and stillettos.
What does that image conjure? Do we judge and condemn women for failing to meet the patriarchal ideal of the moment? Or do we reject other's definition of success, beauty, and achievement and walk in our true power?
What example are we setting for our little girls who will grow up to be the "New Trophy Wives" and for our little boys who will become men seeking to become one's husband?
If the article seemed more about celebrating womanhood and less like, "Hail the new and improved Barbie! She thinks too!" it wouldn't feel so distasteful.
These are the messages we're tempted to hold on to, because they seem so encouraging. At what expense? When we examine what this line of thinking asks us to accept about ourselves, our husbands and sisters, is it really presenting the best version of us that we should aspire to embrace? If not, do we really agree with all of it?
Okay I'm done.
Now, will someone ask my new husband to help me off this soapbox?
I need to get out of the office.
Good grief.
Within the last ten weeks I've celebrated the birth of my nephew, married the love of my life in the best wedding ever, honeymooned, celebrated my birthday, and celebrated the birth of my niece… Then suddenly, we were grieving the loss of my newborn niece suddenly at one month old, and again mourning for my grandmother who passed away two weeks later.
But it's not about me, right? Surely if I just lift my head and look at the world around me perspective will shift, truth will emerge in focus.
In other news… Apparently grand jury indictments for homicide have become a rare and elusive gift. On a good day injustice aches and burns, but these days?
I need several hugs.
Because maybe, it really isn't about racism.
When will this genocide in America be called what it is? When, since the holocaust, has a nation so willfully authorized mass murder?
Mike Brown. Eric Garner.
I never imagined personally mourning loved ones' deaths as I have recently. Nor did I imagine grief would be compounded with wounds reopened by injustice, for men, women and children I've never met.
Throughout my family's mourning it has been so comforting to feel unconditional love and support from friends, family and even strangers during our time of grief.
But then, my sweet niece's single month of life was undeniably innocent and perfect.
The justice system is sending the message that hers is the only kind of black life worth protecting under the law.
The death count's rising.
There is a genocide unfolding at the hands of law enforcement.
I don't know how to have space for that kind of pain simultaneously.
As it all unfolds, I can't imagine how maddening it would be for grief to be infected with blame, for my loved one to be vilified and demonized… Then as the struggle for closure, understanding, justice in the face of such genocidal tragedies continue…
To watch in new and different horror again, as the hands responsible for their death are held up..
In a shrug.
I can't breathe appears to be exactly the point. It appears the justice system is not broken, in fact is working perfectly: If the mission is genocide.
Whatever. Right?
Apathy is worse than hatred. Apathy and injustice are the language of racism. Death is the language of genocide.
The insidious void of justice in far too many deaths of fellow human beings who happen to be black, is the worst mask our country can wear.
My heart aches for fellow grieving survivors of loss. I can not fathom their pain, strength and anger.
Like I said, several hugs. Pass some 'round.
A Simple Choice
Having an 11/5 birth date in the US has made for some interesting news over the years. The 11/5/08 headline showed citizens of the same country whose original constitution didn't consider slaves human, had elected a black man president.
Somehow, today I'm still reading about what laws are needed to make a human legal in the same country.
By contrast, this year had great life moments: getting married, welcoming cousins, nieces and nephews. Life is full of great moments when we choose to see them: Like, while continuing a half-century old year family vacation tradition, having lunch with an elderly stranger. As small talk ranged from weather to news and eventually drought and other disasters, her simple words summed up the truth of life well-lived:
Over the years the same things happen over and over. There's always some big scare, the Great Depression, the war, the tornadoes, the earthquakes, the plague. You just want to hold on to your peace and ride it all out no matter what.
We can choose turmoil or peace.
Fear or love.
My birthday gift this year was a pair of blistered dancing feet. They say life isn't about weathering storms, but learning to dance through the rain. How true.
It'd be easy to feel achy and sore but instead, why not smile about symbols of joy, love, health and longevity? Life is hard. And gets harder. It's easy to get fearful, frustrated and angry. It's much harder, more audacious, more courageous to be loving, hopeful, faith-filled. In every moment we choose what to focus on.
What will you focus on today?
I hope it's something good.
Like bubbles. Or kittens. Or babies. Or whatever it is that makes you grin.
Letting go
The other day I was listening to a song about trusting and relinquishing control when I started thinking about the one thing we probably all agree on: Nobody can control the world. No animal either but they tend not to care so much. We may be able to master and manage some things, but never will we be able to control, predict and explain everything that happens in the universe we inhabit.
So why do we struggle so hard to do it anyway?
Especially when just about everything magnificent and phenomenal that ever was came to be not because of, but in spite of the hands and will of a single person? Believing in something that defies the laws of medicine, physics, human nature, economics, etc. is only ridiculous if we forget those laws only attempt to explain history and in doing so, reasonably predict the future with the understanding nothing is certain.
Be aware of when you've settled for the comfort of knowing you're in control. Conceding what you can accomplish for something beyond imagination is scary. But if you're not hoping for or reeling from a miracle, chances are the need for control has limited life to surviving instead of thriving.
Mind you, I believe forgiveness is a miracle. And friendship. And trust. And overcoming. And rain. (Can we get some RAIN?!?)
Anywhoo, let go, and let yourself believe in miracles.
Don't worry. The worst that can happen is you'll mess up.
Life goes on.
It's important to agree it's wrong when our black brothers and sisters die.
German blood runs through my veins. And I just don't understand how violence and looting is supposed to solve anything. I'm an upstanding citizen and my family is deeply respected. Why do I need to focus my energy on something happening to black people in neglected communities? It's not my business and not my fight. Enough people are fighting already.
The blood of Africa fuels my heart. How DARE you, lying and pretending this gunshot wound, this prostrate body is different than the noose dripping rotten fruit from a Southern tree? I will scream. I will stand. I will fight. I will give my living breath to speak the truth. Are you listening?
Both of those stories are mine, and are true. They're the truth for a lot of people. Sometimes, knowing we're not alone, and being reminded we can make a difference helps change the way we think about things. So as you read, please know I've been torn about racism, unsure of where to begin.
In many ways I identified more fully with white folks all my life, having been immersed in the culture of privilege literally from preschool through college. White folks are my people. Not in a put-on, confused awkward way but because we happened to be around and like each other. Simple. As it should be. Undeniably, the color of my skin and environment I and my family live and work within (impoverished, neglected area of Watts in LA) means I identify with black people, ultimately self-identifying as black.
My grandma was a white woman who married a black man from Mississippi (rest their souls). They married in Tijuana because interracial marriage was illegal in the US. I'm getting married in October and all my mother keeps saying is "Chocolate babies." Don't ask.
My fiancé is a beautiful man with symmetrical, classically handsome features and an even, glowing skin tone the color of rich, warm wood. Mine is golden pale if I keep a good tan. And yes, my white girlfriends routinely out-tan me. Annoying.
Anyway, chocolate babies.
I love babies and love. Love, love! I used to think I was naive, or crazy for being so happy all the time. But then I learned my joy came from the everlasting truth that God is good, all-powerful, all-creation, all Creator. So especially when it didn't make sense, the choice of joy was an act of power.
Kinda like when you see an adorable baby and your mood changes for no apparent reason. Being a deeply spiritual person has come to mean I label a lot less. Truth is, we're all conservative in some ways and liberal in others. Narrow-minded in some ways and open-minded in others.
Case in point, I remember the supremely awkward moment where I had to defend my white friendships to my black schoolmates. I'd been going to school with some of my white classmates for over a decade at that point, and a group of mostly newly-enrolled black kids asked me why I hung out with them? Implicit in the ask was why I didn't hang out with my black classmates more. Again, my answer was simple. We know and like each other, and are friends.
I thought to myself, "I can get to know you guys, but we're not starting off on the best foot, honestly." It was not lost on me that the social effects of racism are very much learned.
How unexpected that my fiancé would have the exact same experience… In New York? He went to privileged, mostly white private schools so together we move seamlessly through just about any social setting.
Chocolate babies.
I'm sure we'll have boys, maybe girls too. I'm sure our boys will carry the quiet dignity their father lives in, that scares me sometimes because I've learned to shuck and jive a little too well… Despite my best efforts.
I'm sure they'll face the same heart-breaking fear from strangers who respond to my son's blackness as though he were pointing a loaded gun at them. I'm sure they will share their father's grace and wisdom, trying to crack jokes, to soothe, to say or do anything to dissipate the fear caused by that invisible gun.
And I'm sure that over the years, as they grow up surrounded by rich white kids as their parents did, they will learn the balancing act: Learn, master, befriend but always, always manage your expectations. Always remember the spotlight is on you, and if you have the strength wield it without sacrificing authenticity, use that to your advantage.
I pray they will be voices of truth and power.
And I pray we will be fearless enough to let them live freely.
Because the sad pattern of history says that if you fight for racial equality, and fight against poverty you get killed.
If you fight for freedom you get beaten and put in prison. If you are perceived as a threat to a civilian or an officer of the peace, you may just get killed. The trouble with that is, I know how people look at black men and women: Like we are holding a loaded weapon pointed at them.
It does not matter who that black man or woman truly is or what the context of their interaction with others has been. The same country that believed black people were not fully human has born a bitter, rotten fruit of racism.
It is heartbreaking to see that look in another person's eyes. It is murderous to take action to shoot or senselessly beat someone because you feel threatened by their skin and what it represents. And if my outrage at the truth of that injustice is left to fester in my heart, and burn my mouth as I make a two minute public comment… To singe my fingers as I cast a vote, to stain my cheeks as I cry silent tears of futile rage… At some point I might just destroy something.
To release the insides, to shatter the sickeningly perfect reflection of lies people tell to cover up the truth:
Too many Americans prefer slavery because they could legally treat black people like animals.
The Ku Klux Klan was formed after slavery was abolished and full of judges, law enforcement officials and elected officials who wanted to enforce their own law in their own way. Blacks and women were not allowed to enforce the law. The Ku Klux Klan is currently raising money to reward the police officer who killed Michael Brown.
Is it any wonder then, that when a white police officer takes the life of a black civilian it causes outrage? We can blindly ignore history as much as we want to, but we can't close our eyes to it and condemn those who act with it in mind. Law enforcement is one of the pillars of structural racism in America and when it bursts into flames of rage we can't talk in code about what went wrong.
I don't know what I would do if my child were murdered at the hands of the police, or if my mother were savagely beaten in the head by a uniformed officer. When I try to consider it the ache of paralyzing loss grips me. I'm a black woman living in Watts, and went to private schools in the most privileged areas of the country with (mostly) white people all my life.
When the 1992 revolt happened here in response to another injustice related to law enforcement/civilian brutality with the Rodney King case acquittals, I stayed home from school. My friends, with no real idea of what was going on asked if I needed a place to stay, if my family was alright. My friends. My family's friends.
We truly loved and cared about each other, and it wasn't about anything other than choosing to get to know each other, bond, and become friends. They didn't pretend I wasn't black, nor I that they weren't and we formed deep and lasting relationships that changed our lives forever.
Would that have happened if I and my family weren't able to travel 20 miles to get there every day and for social events, plays, concerts, and games? Would that have happened if they treated me like a criminal all the time, or made bigoted comments? Of course not.
We came together regularly, and were ourselves with one another. We decided who we did and didn't like just healthy people should, based on personality and integrity not race or class. Had we not come together, how else would we have befriended each other? How else would we have learned about and accepted each other?
It wasn't their fault their community was pretty much entirely white, just as it wasn't my fault my community was pretty much entirely black. But had we rejected each other on sight, or ever refused to enter or learn each other's worlds that would have been our fault. We cared for each other.
More than anything right now, I miss that care and concern. It is far too easy to judge, dismiss and avoid war when it rages at home or abroad. Once we open our minds and hearts to consider we should care, that paralyzing ache grips and we freeze. And usually run back to comfort.
Who wants to be crying all the time? Crying drives me crazy, and I am such a crybaby. My sinuses act up and I'm decommissioned for weeks. So inappropriate.
We don't have to do anything to perpetuate racism, but we do have to be active to change bits of it, and ultimately dismantle the beast. One of the other pillars of structural racism is segregation.
Segregation doesn't show up in the old signs of the Jim Crow era of No Dogs, No Blacks, No Mexicans. It shows up in the denial of loan applications for homes. The exclusivity of country clubs where professional connections are made and deals brokered. It shows up in disparities of the quality of education, infrastructure, and investment.
Segregation shows up when we feel inexplicably more comfortable in environments that inexplicably represent only one color of skin.
Yes, the incidents of late are happening all over the country, and mostly in impoverished areas that unfortunately have very little draw for folks other than those who live there. I'm not suggesting you should have gone on a poverty tour (though my grandpa did take my father and his colleagues on one a few decades back-enlightening).
But you can fight segregation by simply stopping by online to read unbiased news reports, to see what's happening for yourself from the privacy and comfort of your home or office. By allowing yourself to care.
You're no bigot and certainly not some racist KKK member- Ugh. But if what you've been thinking about Ferguson sounds anything like this, maybe you should learn a little more about what's going on: "We know that Michael Brown was nothing more than a punk. The media and others are painting him out to be a 'good son' and 'great kid.' The blacks of Missouri are showing their love of him by rioting, attacking and shooting people. Nothing new." (Full article.)
Just about every problem we will ever face is a problem of apathy. Not enough caring, and not enough doing. What will it cost you to care? To express concern? You don't have to be a celebrity or a politician to express a human emotion of concern for something wrong. And I guarantee you, in the wave of events surrounding each of these exchanges there was wrong committed. It isn't hypocritical to care or to say so.
It's as easy as a single word, photo, or symbol nowadays that you can post online. Be brave enough to learn, to care, and show it in whatever way you can. Maybe it's a one word post (hashtags annoy me too) #WeCare or #Ferguson. Or maybe it's sharing an objective, analytical and well-written article. Just don't be silent.
Look, just from this post you can get informed and do your part to make this issue visible, so it can't be avoided or swept under the rug. At some point, when it is clear this isn't a divisive issue but a unifying cause, a solution that works for all, not just some who are most angry and vocal, can be brought forward.
Please do your part.
You matter.
This matters.

When it hurts, burns, aches and you know that if you cry out no one will hear you… At least not anyone who will stop the burning ache of pain, it just seems like curling into a ball of tears in the corner of an unlit room is the only thing that will grant release. But then you realize the burning is the fire of a lion's roar demanding to be sounded, like thunder cracking skies.

Balearic (horse)
|Country of origin:
|Horse (Equus ferus caballus)
The Balearic is a breed of horse that originated in Spain, and is native to the island of Majorca[1] (Mallorca) off the southern coast, one of the Balearic Islands.
It matures to about 14 hands tall, and it is disputed if the breed should be classified as a horse or a pony. The breed is considered rare, and little information is available.
The Balearic is said to be a riding animal that matures to about 14 hands. It is agreed that breed representatives have an upright mane, a primitive feature in horses, but reports differ as to whether the breed is attractive or "scrubby." It is said to have a short, thick, but arched neck, a head with a convex profile but refined bone structure. They are said to have slender legs and carry themselves well.
Most representatives of the breed are bay or chestnut, occasionally gray[1].
The breed is also sometimes referred to as the Balearic Island pony and its origins are obscure. Some claim it is an ancient breed descended from horses of Ancient Greece. There is a claim that original stock came from Skyros in Greece[1]. It is said that the breed bears a resemblance to horses in illustrations on ancient Greek pottery, coins, and friezes[2] . Because modern government officials in Spain consider the breed unimportant, little is known about it[1].
Genetic studies suggest that the Balearic is a distinct breed from other Iberian horse breeds, including other breeds that live on various islands in the Balearic chain.[3]
The Balearic is used by the local population in harness for farm work and as a riding horse for basic transportation[1].

You are Harry Potter!
A roleplay adventure as you suddenly wake up to find yourself at Hogwarts, having to exist as Harry Potter
It's a normal evening. You sit in front of the telly with your family; you derive some enjoyment from making fun of Simon Cowell's receding hairline. You make everyone a cup of tea and they drink it.
Finally you start to feel tired. You're comfortable downstairs in the presence of your family, but your eyes are drooping and your mouth is yawning, and you can't quite finish your tea. It's time for bed.
You give everybody a hug and wish them a goodnight before climbing the stairs to your room. You turn on the light. You're greeted by several Harry Potter posters, merchandise and other paraphenalia. This is normal. You are a Harry Potter fan.
You gaze proudly at the books - all seven Harry Potter books, first editions. They look great lined up on your shelf like that. Lined up next to them are all the DVD's - well, nearly all of them. You can't wait to get your hands on the last few.
Suddenly feeling extraordinarily drowsy, you clamber into bed and turn off the light. The faces of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, Snape and many more glow onimously at you in the darkness.
You fall asleep.
When you wake up the next morning, it is not to the same faces. You blink rapidly, trying to take in your surroundings. You seem to be sitting in a dormitory. In the space beyond, you see figures turning over in their beds and mumbling.
You get up. Thed dormitory is bigger than you think. The curtains are not yet open. You cross over to the windows and look out.
You are stunned to see the outlines of high stone towers, and beyond that, you see lakes, hills... mountains.
You recognise ths place from the films. Incredibly, impossibly, you are looking out at the grounds of Hogwarts.
Anotehr thought occurs to you. Your hand goes to your forehead. You feel around. Your fingers rake through hair, and then meet the bumpy imprint of a lightning shaped scar.
You gasp. You have become Harry Potter.
What do you do next?
