I found them some time ago and started making paper tepee’s from their design. This one really does work and the tepee leans a little backwards like it is supposed to and unlike some other designs you find on the web. One thing I have learned about tepees is that because of their design, in a hurricane, the wind forces the poles down into the ground and not up into the air as you would expect. <BR/>There are two small points I think you should consider. Firstly the ceremonial style is very beautiful but would it harmonise with a pictographic style trout?<BR/>Secondly, consider what you are going to use it for. Moreover, does it need to be portable? I have no experience with tepees but I have read that 18 foot is the maximum that anyone can back pack, and the larger the floor diameter the larger the poles so consider how these might be moved over a considerable distance. Can they be roof racked and could there be a question of the availability of gas? <BR/>Like I just said to Socioilogy, you call them as you see them but it is just a few things to think about before you put your money down.<BR/><BR/>Aho.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-82444397242438653912008-03-24T07:53:00.000-07:002008-03-24T07:53:00.000-07:00From Belgium,Motherland (Natalie Merchant)Where in...From Belgium,<BR/><BR/>Motherland <BR/>(Natalie Merchant)<BR/><BR/>Where in the hell can you go far from the things that you know<BR/>Far from the sprawl of concrete that keeps crawling its way about 1,000 miles a day? <BR/>Take one last look behind, commit this to memory and mind. <BR/>Don't miss this wasteland, this terrible place. <BR/>When you leave keep your heart off your sleeve. <BR/><BR/>Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep. <BR/>Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go. <BR/>Don't you go. <BR/>Oh, my five & dime queen tell me what have you seen? <BR/>The lust and the avarice, the bottomless, cavernous greed, is that what you see? <BR/><BR/>Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep. <BR/>Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go. <BR/><BR/>It's your happiness I want most of all and for that I'd do anything at all, oh mercy me!<BR/>If you want the best of it or the most of all, if there's anything I can do at all. <BR/><BR/>Now come on shot gun bride what makes me envy your life? <BR/>Faceless, nameless, innocent, blameless and free, what's that like to be? <BR/><BR/>Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep. <BR/>Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go. <BR/>Don't go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-63713933755140558292008-03-24T07:43:00.000-07:002008-03-24T07:43:00.000-07:00From Belgium,Sociology,This is really a case of ca...From Belgium,<BR/><BR/>Sociology,<BR/><BR/>This is really a case of calling them as you see them, only you can answer that question.

They must really be getting nervous.<BR/><BR/>From my online banking account this morning:<BR/><BR/>"We are required by federal regulations to monitor savings and money market account withdrawal activity and limit third-party or pre-authorized transfers to six per month. This includes transfers made by personal computer (online), telephone, or from overdraft protection. Of these six transfers allowed per month, no more than three may be made by check or draft. If transactions continue to exceed these limits, the law requires us to close savings accounts and transfer funds to a non-interest bearing checking account. Please note that money market accounts will not be closed, but converted to a non-interest bearing checking account and a fee may be charged when transaction limits are exceeded.<BR/><BR/>If you have any questions, please call the 1-800 telephone number printed on your banking statement."<BR/><BR/>All I can say is...

I am not even certain I understand anymore what it is that we as a human species determine to be the example of being civil. I question as to whether or not I myself as a human can be considered civil? Are those I associate with civil? Is the society I live within a civil society? These are questions I pose to myself and some days the answers really do escape me… <BR/><BR/>Belgium <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind thoughts. I may not leave behind a word trail most times I do visit but I can assure you that I do follow along with the campfire conversations. For the longest time I had to access the blog through a proxi server and doing so I am not often able to write any comments. I read the postings and follow along with the conversations and take it all in like a cool drink of water on a hot day. These are the things I like about this particular blog. I read a few other blogs but it is not often I can say that they keep it along a civil (lol) discussion and at certain points they cease to actually add anything of value. It gives me a bit of hope knowing that there are people out there who do believe that this is a sacred planet we live on and that we as humans are but visitors in this place though we often do not act as such.<BR/><BR/>There are many thoughts that flow through my mind from time to time and it is a certain comfort that should I feel the urge I have this place to air them. For the most part though I am fully content to sit near the fire and just listen to the words that often come with implied wisdom.<BR/><BR/>ElyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-80480231197816272092008-03-22T14:33:00.000-07:002008-03-22T14:33:00.000-07:00We're somewhat distracted right now because my son...We're somewhat distracted right now because my son and his girlfriend are visiting from Tahoe for Easter.

Every day, if seems, the financial headlines and stories get more and more grim. The financial world order is in the toilet. Gold is going to go thru the roof. The linguistics say that the end is near, etc. etc. And then some teasers look like it is all coming down just as predicted. And then the plunge protection team, or the Fed, or the Saudis, or the Tooth Fairy or some such shit steps in and it all turns around. The market goes straight up, the gold dips, but the headlines still don't miss a negative beat."Financial Armageddon" is at hand - except it isn't.<BR/> I think I am watching this thing too closely. It's like watching the grass grow.

As one fellow I work with put it, "I put out the thoughts and you are free to throw darts at it, perhaps we both shall learn then". I know that I often have a real problem in putting into words to write what is going through my mind, to project the emotional content that rides the same train as the rational. Because we do not have complete empathy and words are only an approximation of our complete thought and because language itself is never accurate, the best we can hope for is presenting a glimmer or our inner thoughts and an even smaller glimmer being understood. We do the best we can, some are just a bit more skilled in the presentation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-31675511329259585052008-03-20T08:23:00.000-07:002008-03-20T08:23:00.000-07:00fuck i am so sorry upon reading that last comment ...fuck i am so sorry upon reading that last comment that a person could grow a beard while reading it.<BR/> will be more aware of this in the future,<BR/>thank all of you to allow such a more then likely useless sack of words,but it just seems like i have to say them.<BR/>mfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-20890941123532867872008-03-20T08:06:00.000-07:002008-03-20T08:06:00.000-07:00sats, my brother, the reference i was making to wa...sats, my brother, the reference i was making to was to most of mankind in the wider scheme of things, personally it looks like not many have escaped the wrath of being told what to do or die and this is going to impact regardless of who or where a person comes from, possibly, i look inside and i see that the natural existence of a human being is one of acceptance and this equates at least to me the state of what i would term love..<BR/>the yoke of compulsion being derived from the gun of another,whether from an actual gun or an actual bible (which is far more deadly because it kills many times in the same life time until finally the organism can die no more and dies.) no what i mean?<BR/>this imbalance which almost seems genetic to me and is used as the guide and pretty much sole expression of human behavior is the most dastardly of evil expression and contains within it the mess of our exaggerated sense of self importance which underneath is what i term as the driver, and just to stay alive as a walker rather then a boxer,we develop a disguise, in order to face and be accepted by those around us,( a good example),... one of my brothers whose career involved the challenge of opening the safes of people he considered having to much money while in one of his many experiences as an inmate at a penal colony had at one point to be surrounded by a gang of white supremacists and was told in no uncertain terms that in order to survive there he had to assume the identity of belonging to a gang of cut throat nasty black people hating thugs, well this is what i am talking about on a undeniable easily recognized level, and that to me translates to all of society in one way or another, society is a vast soul sucking killing machine, removing in the space of a very short number of years all traces of what a real human being would look like if left untouched by us, the disease, or the carriers if thats more palatable,,,, it is to me,somewhat, because who could live with the fact that we are the perpetraters that have the perhaps,mandatory job classification of passing on the sins of the father?<BR/>my dream spirit says that maybe the stuff that emanates from within the depths of human consciousness is just to enormous and takes to much energy to penetrate to its origin ,that place where un-manifest becomes manifest and this includes all of human endeavor and behavior, also that any form of conformity is psychological death and the end of freedom of the spirit.<BR/>personally i think she may be right, maybe not, only the shadow knows and he remains silent.<BR/>so i hope i have made myself clear on this immense topic,probably not,but i no way inferred that i felt any form of self-pity as being more privileged then anyone else to get more then my fair share of physical and mental abuse from the wonderfulness of society. we all live in the same motherfucking cage as near as i can tell, some are just a little more curious and thereby become a little more aware of the workings of it,.<BR/>i certainly have found out though that if we do not examine our roots we have not one chance in hell of ever being that which we really are, children of a creator which gave at least to some the determination to understand something that is so vital that only the ending of humanity would bring it to the surface, and i think it is taking place within this cyber communion. i mean to 'me' a long in the tooth seeker, conditions are such that i just can't wrap my mind around which mother fucking tie to wear today and will the rest of the cubelets think that its just the wrong color for thursday.?<BR/>holy shit!!<BR/><BR/>fuck scotty, have you been slacking on taking your Ginkto Biloba? press the button and beam out sorry asses up!!! ,,you old fuck! this place is one motherfucking mess.<BR/><BR/>this also brings to mind just what is a good person? i mean what determines this? is it a matter of definition? i don't think so,is bush a good person? is it a result of environmental influence,of course,some,but not completely, it appears, or, how to know that a person is a good person without having read one single book about what a good person constitutes, to me it seems to be a matter mostly of the absence of self. for while in that state one is unconcerned about the values of obedience one way or another, the price of love is love and all the ways that it may manifest and the sweetness that is its underlying driver, or the absolute absence of a driver at all, other then seeing clearly that the world outside as no different then the world inside and to go from there is there really such a thing as outside or inside?<BR/>funny huh? and to go farther then that is there such a thing as your thoughts or my thoughts? or are thoughts just a big bag of invisible energy forms that circle the planet and are picked from according to the current interest of the so called individual? ideas have occurred simultaneously on different parts of the world it would seem so what does this actually say?.. that the bag is not only full but overflowing,?.and if the spirit is nothing more then a servant put in place by the same energy that created us,? as an evolutionary step to spread our seed on out into the universe,? through some crusty assed space ship run on banana peels? i don't think so.<BR/>personally i feel that human consciencous ,at least for a few or perhaps many, is set up for the evolutionary path to bring us all together on a level that according to what it looks like now in regard to human frailings is something of a joke, wouldn't you agree? so what would this mean, and is it something that might even to the logical mind that has assumed so much importance see this as a worthwhile endevour? to leave behind that which has held us in prison for so long ? and to realize that that prison is one of our own making? and that there is not one solitary outside agency that will GIVE this freedom to us except our-selfs? and the kicker is this, the the self is the drug that keeps us in this prison? what a fucking delimma what?<BR/>dammed if you do dammed if you don't? ok what about this, the self will full fill its role by nothing more then figuring out that that is what it is , a role. and then letting it go , Catch and Release. now behind the curtin of illusion which is the ego,..what is there? ah now we are getting somewhere.<BR/> who knows, bug says that there is no way to know except to go there, where ever there is. sound impossible?....well just look at all the 'impossible' things that are now taken for granted , the same energy that brought all the wonderful mother earth destroying bullshit into existence is that very same energy, only on a different level ... sort of, at the core of that insane byproduct of a mind bent gone around the bend with desire for the whatever, is also the desire to manifest a world with out the disruptive entertainment that is the state of todays mind. personally i believe that such a state of mind is desirable over the useless bullshit that it is emersed in today. <BR/>what this means to me is the letting go of all the unnecessary mind habits as they surface and allowing the 'deepness?' to seep into ones being. bug says in this 'deepness' lies the gateway to that which is our next step and that it is a world without the migraine of todays pill box.<BR/>i am sorry about the condition of this comment but i flunked english completely,however these words have meaning to this one even though they are trashily strung together. sometimes i wonder why langosta even hangs out with me.<BR/><BR/>your brother in peace and harmony'<BR/>our blood swims together in the pool of life<BR/> the end. but wait!! ok, fuck it, 'the beginning'<BR/>aho<BR/>mf&b<BR/><BR/><BR/>ps ras your as hopeless as i am, i have gone through almost 160 lbs. of sunflower seeds for the birds and the deer that think my backyard is the village soup kitchen. and you know for the life of me i can't think of a single thing that makes such a difference to me, i am of the nature that i try to take care of what is within my own personal vision and beyond that is someone else's department. your spirit guide says 'let it be' so does mine. your healing energy is bright no matter which direction it it finds itself taking.( : hugs.<BR/>ahoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-47977552801423584312008-03-19T12:13:00.000-07:002008-03-19T12:13:00.000-07:00I don't know how many of you have heard about the ...I don't know how many of you have heard about the controversy surrounding Obama's former pastor (I'm doing my best to ignore the political news), but you should really look up the clips of that guy's sermons. I was rolling. Because he was telling the truth. Google Jeremiah Wright and see some of them. I never thought I'd hear NPR broadcasting a clip of anything where the subject was "God Damn America".<BR/><BR/>Some of my friends are upset with me because I skipped the peace rally of the 5th anniversary of the war today. I've never seen much point in those things; you drive in a fossil-fueled vehicle to protest a war that's about getting more fuel for said vehicle. Um, hello? I think I made more of an impact by buying up 100 pounds of pet food today. (Hey, the four leggeds have to eat too and with prices going to the moon i figured i'd stock up.)<BR/><BR/>I've been fighting depression lately. Things seem to be going downhille so fast. I know what's coming and that it has to happen. But that doesn't make it any easier to bear. That's where I've been instead of being on here. My spirit guide said 'let it be' (essentially) but for someone who is a healer by nature, that's rather hard.RAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264114986793504233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-41989242408975908622008-03-19T11:40:00.000-07:002008-03-19T11:40:00.000-07:00interesting piece of trivial jabber just came from...interesting piece of trivial jabber just came from cnbc. supposedly bear stearns has been publishing their daily economic report without missing a lick. and with no mention of their own recent plight. until today when apparently the only thing it said was.... other than that mrs lincoln, how was the play?Palooka's Revengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335098025580294691noreply@blogger.com
