The Current State of CUAS in the US: Prisons – Cigarettes are not Guns Part 3 of 7

The prison industry’s operations are not a widely known to the general public, for starters most assume the state or federal government runs the prison, this is true that there are both federal and state-owned prison facilities, but there are also private facilities that outnumber those ran by the government. Private facilities are run by civilians, are for-profit and are protected by prison guards who are hired to watch over inmates providing security.

Some research and reports indicate that most of the contraband is brought in by prison guards which makes for a corrupt system, however, a prison guard who might bring drugs to an inmate would never bring a gun to an inmate. Now we queue the nefarious drone operator who would deliver a gun for money because they have nothing to lose only money to gain.

A guard, on the other hand, might lose their life if an inmate got the gun and fired it at them or a co-worker/friend so they would never bring a gun in for their own safety. This changes the security dynamics when someone outside the system can deliver a deadly weapon to someone on the inside.

This is a whole new level of liability for prison owners and for the families of those who could be killed by another inmate with a gun. On TV shows about prisons and movies, we hear about the dangers of homemade weapons such as shanks made from metal and plastic, but a gun is a new level of scary especially when no guard would be expecting an inmate to have a gun. Contraband is also another problem, but this seems far less likely to be as threatening as a gun. Cigarettes, cell phones, money, porn and drugs are the top contraband items that can be delivered to inmates waiting on the inside to be dropped off in the yard and recovered.

Cell phones to a prisoner can be just as dangerous as bringing a gun to a prison, but to someone on the outside. Inmates call others to commit crimes on their behalf from behind bars setting up the event and receiving messages on contraband cell phones. The protection of the people who are testifying against a prisoner is at stake when the prisoned can find out who they are, where they live, evidence in the media and happens unaware to people who are barred from the outside world.

Inmates have nothing but time to sit around and think of innovative ways to use drones to

deliver the goods on the inside, it won’t be much longer and they will have thought of new ways to use drones for illegal purposes. Some prisons also are uniquely set up to be great test areas for the use of CUAS equipment while we learn by trial and error the effectiveness of CUAS equipment in a civilian setting. Most prisons are located in an area with not much going on around it as not many people do want to live close to a prison so they build them in remote locations also to make escape harder and the perimeter and surrounding area easier to watch.

They have cleared land and obstacles to might restrict the view the guards have from the tops of the wall and towers making an ideal setting to monitor the effectiveness of the equipment meaning how well did the equipment work, was the vehicle brought down safely and what did we learn from the interdiction?

Article on complex drone smuggling operation in the UK, watch the video on the innovative

retrieval system. The authorities knew they were conducting operations and were able to

strategically place cameras to catch the gang. Some states also want to jam cell phones within prisons, read the article here.

Prison makes a great testing area for CUAS because most of their locations are far from

anything else, now there are exceptions. But modern prisons are built away from civilization and have miles of perimeter that protect the buildings and allows them to see anyone coming from miles away. Now we enter a new threat correction officers will need to be trained to be protected from the air and the technology changes many aspects of protection, to start prison walls aren’t effective to an airborne vehicle and they are a primary defense to a prison.

The rates for drone sightings around US prisons are astronomical. From 10 reports a month to 10,000, a month have grown in size and complexity. If anyone needs CUAS it is prisons and especially the facilities that are located in the out of town locations, then they should be one of the first to test out the systems. Through testing and real world research, any failures with equipment and the drone can fall on the ground without concerning many on harming anyone or the surrounding infrastructure.

Prisons could become part of the work force who first tests out CUAS equipment through pilot programs, licensing, training and security updating.

Another big aspect of CUAS for prisons is gaining the intel off the drone through cyber forensics to find the bad guy, owner and pilot. If the drone has been destroyed from a kinetic mitigation technique, then it will be useless to attempt to retrieve intelligence from the drone as numbers can be scratched off. I’m not going to go into the details here on the juicy stuff.

Prisons should join the CUAS Coalition as a group and we can specifically lobby and write regulations to be beneficial for the testing and use of CUAS equipment at prisons. Let us also remember that cigarettes are not guns.

If you are a state or federal corrections department and would like more help in the areas of legality, changing the law, training or equipment consulting please contact us and become a member.

McDonalds | Happy Stories

Living in and out of hospitals can be traumatic for every child and parent, so any possibility to ease up this experience is a warm welcome. For every Happy Meal McDonalds donates an amount to the ‘Ronald McDonald Kinderfonds Nederland’ helping lots of sick children every year. Our sound team created a musical story to underline the beautiful child drawn animation.

This animated short film is a collection of several stories told by

children helped by the Ronald McDonald foundation. The short film is narrated and designed by the kids themselves.

“The story is based on interviews with several children living in the Ronald McDonald house and conjoined together to create one storyline. So it was important to create a musical score that emphasised their story even more and find the perfect balance between an uplifting tone and the sad reality” recalls Sebastiaan Roestenburg, Composer and Founding Partner.

Consultations with Kate

A birth chart shows the celestial sky as it was on the day you were born. The planets and signs―and distances and geometric configurations between them―describe your life and the world you inhabit. Its symbolism speaks to your nature and temperament, your unique traits and tendencies, interests and aims. The chart also describes important people and events in your life.

Just as the sky changes each day and each night, so does your life as it unfolds through time.

Astrology is a language, but it is not a rigid one. It is mysterious and complex. It is associative, and has linear and nonlinear qualities. It shows potential. It offers us an extraordinary lens and framework to see details about your life while glimpsing the whole picture (gestalt), and it compels us to ask interesting questions.

In a way, astrology is also like a clock―a way to measure and tell what time [in your life] it is.

Artist & Mystic: Hilma af Klint

In my approach to reading a chart I refer to the knowledge of the ancients as a starting place via traditional techniques―and I meld and contemplate these in light of the current time and your current circumstances. I am an empathic listener and bring a compassionate, soulful, and nonjudgmental attitude to my practice. My intention is to provide clients with a relaxed space to unpack the past, know the present, and imagine future scenarios. Together we will investigate cycles and trends, and themes in your life, your unique talents and obstacles. Through examining known strengths [and perceived limitations], it is my goal to assist you in moving toward greater well-being, purposefulness, understanding, and joy in your uniquely precious life.

Astrology is a means, not an end. It is used to calculate the cycles of time, to reveal their meanings, and to foresee certain events. Armed with this knowledge, human beings have the capacity to avoid or reduce suffering. This applies at both the collective and the individual level. Astrology is a practical discipline intended to reduce suffering and uncertainty, which are the lot of beings wandering in samsāra. The correct motivation for an astrologer is none other than compassion―without that, astrology falls to the level of the ordinary disciplines.

"I have had many readings with different astrologers, but Kate really brought something different to the understanding of my chart. Her vast knowledge of different techniques was very impressive. It definitely gave me another perspective and she's extremely detailed and professional. It's hard to find an astrologer this talented and dedicated to her clients. I really loved my reading and trust her professional analysis and advice. Oh the best part was that she has the best interest of her client at heart, and that's her priority. That made the world of differences." - Jess Z.
"I discovered Kate's website and found her charming. There was "change" in the air so I thought why not try someone new. And boy was she amazing! My reading was unusual in that I asked her to prepare an audio and email it to me WITHOUT ME PRESENT. I wanted to know what my CHART told her on its own. Although she had never done this before, she was ready, willing, and most able. Everything she said rang true and confirmed my own choices and life direction from the past to the present. Her astrology is thorough and well thought out. She sent all the necessary charts beforehand and carefully connected her reading references so I could follow along. It was so much fun working with her. Kate is warm and kind and intelligent, and was willing to engage in email conversation afterwards to bring me closure. I highly recommend her!"  - C.B.
"Kate gave me some great insights into my chart and my life. She's studied with some heavy hitters in the astrology world.  She's warm and wonderful and a lot of fun. I highly recommend her astrology readings." - Nancy C.

Colleges are raising costs because they can

Neither declining state support nor overpaid administrators can explain tuition hikes

April 9, 2015 2:00AM ET

Why does college cost so much? Commentators continue to look for clues. So far, two main schools of thought have emerged. According to the first, fees have increased to make up for declines in government appropriations for higher education. According to the second, bloated administrations are wasting the money on frivolous extras unrelated to the core instructional mission.

Though the two views aren’t mutually exclusive and both are supported by evidence, there remains an ideological divide between them. People who believe educating citizens is the government’s job, no matter the cost (generally those on the political left), tend to believe the first, while people who would rather shrink government (generally those on the right) are more inclined to the waste hypothesis. As a result, explaining college-cost increases becomes a kind of proxy fight in which neither side accepts the other’s good faith and both are usually proved right.

In an op-ed for The New York Times, law professor Paul F. Campos widened the gap. While its title, “The real reason college tuition costs so much,” oversells the case a bit, its main point is sound: Government funding for higher education has gone up a lot. Even if funding per student is down a little bit as more kids pursue degrees, calling it a massive defunding is disingenuous. However, because Campos didn’t focus much on the subsidy per student, it opened him to attack from his opponents. And attack they did, in Slate, Crooked Timber, Inside Higher Ed and elsewhere. Still, Campos is right that the defunding explanation is weak, even in light of increased enrollment.

In 20 of the past 31 years, both per student funding and tuition have increased at public two- and four-year institutions. Tuition increased in every year except 2000, even in years when there were sizable increases in state outlays. The three periods when state support fell all followed recessions, when state legislators were dealing with reduced tax revenue and a glut of new students who were frustrated out of job market and into the classroom. This results in a clear correlation between decreased funding per student and ever-escalating tuition in the early 1990s, early 2000s and since 2008 — but taken together, they account for only a third of those 31 years. That fails to explain the decades-long pattern of consistent tuition hikes. More important, the data give us no reason to believe that if government support had only increased, colleges wouldn’t have raised tuition anyway.

One problem with the college-cost debate is that most commentators look at only two sources of revenue: state appropriations and tuition. But as any administrator will tell you, these are the least interesting parts of a school’s budget. From a college president’s perspective, there’s only so much schools can do to influence the legislature, and the potential for tuition hikes is constrained by their competitors, if nothing else. Other sources, however, such as grants, gifts, discretionary appropriations and investment income, aren’t subject to the same limitations. Administrators who want to set themselves apart from their peers (and in this market, who can afford not to?) focus their energy where they can make the biggest and most noticeable difference.

At the end of the day, college tuition is going up for the simplest of reasons: Demand is inelastic, and it’s exceeding the supply.

Take the case of Manhattan’s Cooper Union, a private school that until recently operated without tuition. You might think that providing a college education for free isn’t feasible in this economy and that Cooper Union was forced to start charging. But that’s not really what happened. A New York Times column by James B. Stewart turned up different culprits: greed, hubris and mismanagement. The school had relied on money from a real estate endowment to pay its costs, but instead of pursuing low-risk stocks and bonds, the administration invested in high-risk, high-reward hedge funds. The strategy initially worked great: Its investments went from $19.4 million in 2006 to $103 million in 2008, and the school jumped up the U.S. News and World Report and Newsweek college rankings. The board then decided to go for broke and borrowed $175 million to construct a fancy engineering and art building. The idea was that the new building would attract donors and prestige and would ultimately more than pay for itself. That didn’t happen. Instead, those hedge fund investments crashed to $18.8 million in 2009, and the school was left to service the debt on a building it couldn’t afford. Cooper Union was forced to turn to tuition.

Except for its tuition-free history, the Cooper Union story isn’t exceptional in form, just egregious in its scale and consequences. Administrators across the country are motivated by the ranking systems and the unofficial prestige market to go for moon shots — the big grants, the winning investments, the donor-magnet buildings. If you go through a public flagship university’s budget, you’ll see all sorts of huge line items that have nothing to do with state appropriations or tuition. Take the University of Texas at Austin. In 2013 it netted $600 million in tuition and fees and a touch under $300 million in state appropriations. It also got $400 million in federal research programs and $100 million in private sponsorships and brought in nearly $500 million in “sales and services of educational activities” and “auxiliary enterprises,” according to its annual financial report. And that’s just the operating budget; it doesn’t include another $200 million in gifts and $300 million in investment income and increased value. A decline in per student state appropriations has not starved trend-setting public institutions of money.

When it comes to chasing the big bucks, tuition and state appropriations aren’t created equal. Whereas state appropriations have a pile of strings attached, fees are universities’ to do with what they will. They’re free to use it to finance capital projects like the Cooper Union building or investments in labor automation or eye-catching amenities or grant-friendly research facilities or debt service or hedge fund fees or administrators’ salaries. Given a choice between a dollar from the state and a dollar from students, any smart college president would rather have the latter. Fee income allows, for example, the University of California system to go to Wall Street and get bonds for giant construction projects, pledging tuition hikes to cover the debt.

Declines in per student appropriations at the very least give administrators good cover to increase tuition, even if the two variables aren’t quite causally tied. And high salaries for administrators appear to be the consequence of changes to higher education’s incentive structures as much as a cause: The competition for ever more funds launches competition for ever larger fundraisers. At the end of the day, college tuition is going up for the simplest of reasons: Demand is inelastic, and it’s exceeding the supply. Despite the price increases, enrollment has kept rising. As long as the Treasury is willing to write larger and larger student loan checks and as long as high school grads see no other option besides college to advance their career prospects, tuition will keep going up. If we’re not willing to change our higher education system from the foundation, arguing over the proximate causes of the cost crisis won’t do anyone any good.

NATO’s Middle East Despot Tightens His Grip on Turkey

Turkey’s president is taking steps toward ensuring he rules the country for the foreseeable future. With an indefinite state of emergency in place, many of his political opponents in prison, and 98% of the media in his hands, it seems this former parliamentary representative democratic republic is well on its way to becoming a dictatorship.

By Richard Walker

The NATO leadership will soon have a Middle East despot in its ranks when Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan uses his control over all elements of governmental power to ensure he remains for the foreseeable future president of a country increasingly dominated by staunch Islamic principles.

In April this year, he reset the presidential and national elections scheduled for November 2019 to June 24, 2018 in a move calculated to exploit and consolidate his hold on the Turkish system, including the military, intelligence agencies, police, and judiciary. With many of his political opponents in prison, and 98% of the media in his hands, he plans to rule unchallenged. It is the classic strategy of a budding dictator, say his enemies.

Since July 15, 2016, when elements of his armed forces staged an abortive coup against him, he has arrested tens of thousands of members of the opposition, confining many to jail and political trials. Today, unknown numbers of people remain behind bars. They include civil servants, soldiers, judges, journalists, and university professors. Many have been accused of supporting an American-based cleric, Fetullah Gulen, who was once an Erdogan political ally. Erdogan has demanded Gulen’s extradition to Turkey, alleging he and his supporters in Turkey were behind the coup. So far, the Trump administration has refused to hand him over, creating a widening political gulf between Ankara and Washington.

MidEast Chess Board

Erdogan has used his power to transform Turkey from a secular state to an Islamic one. He has accused the U.S. of playing a role in the coup. Days after he crushed it, he had his military seize control of the massive U.S. military base at Incirlik. Unknown to members of Congress, it held nuclear weapons intended for use in a war with Russia. They have since been moved out of Turkey. Some sources believe they may have been relocated to bases in Europe. The Pentagon has denied reports that it has plans to scale down the U.S. military presence in Turkey, but some believe the process has already begun at Incirlik.

Erdogan was always a man with grand ambitions to dominate the Middle East, but the Turkish economy never performed up to his expectations. It is suspected he has called these snap elections because he knows the economy will continue to underperform over the next year. He hopes by then to have unfettered control of the reins of power.

Until 2016, sharing a border with Russia did not make him feel comfortable, but Russian leader Vladimir Putin has managed to convince him that Washington has no defined Middle East policy and Turkey’s interests are better served being close to Russia, China, Iraq, and Iran. Even Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper recognized the closeness of Turkey and Russia. Moscow has privately suggested that it will mediate a deal with his nemesis in Syria, Bashar al-Assad, permitting Turkey to ensure the Syrian Kurds do not become a problem on its border. Lately, Erdogan warned Washington that its alliance with the Syrian Kurds risks placing American forces in the firing line. It is a threat the Pentagon cannot dismiss.

As a leader who plans to elevate his status as a defender of Muslims in the region, he has cleverly adopted a confrontational tone with Israel over its slaughter of Palestinians. He has branded Netanyahu a terrorist and fascist and has labeled EU nations his enemies.

But it is in the political sphere in Turkey that he has proven to be astute and decisive. In the wake of the coup, he declared a state of emergency and then extended it indefinitely. When the parliamentary and presidential elections are over on June 24, political measures he has already inserted into the law will ensure that only a super majority in parliament will be able to force an investigation of him. That will insulate him legally and politically.

His argument for altering the balance of political power in Turkey is that giving him executive control is vital to preventing coups, led in the past by secular nationalists within the military who he claims were part of the deep state. He has gutted the intelligence services to ensure there are only committed Muslims in the upper echelons. He has either jailed or sacked senior military figures suspected of not being willing to commit to a loyalty pledge to him. Despite his efforts to eliminate threats, a deep state remains deeply embedded in the DNA of the country.

Whatever the future holds, there will be continuing erosion of Turkey’s attachment to NATO and Europe. In the late 1990s, Turkey had hoped to become a member of the EU, but the hope was dashed by fierce opposition from France, Germany, and Britain. At the core of their opposition was a fear that admitting Turkey would be akin to opening up Europe to a massive Muslim influx that would be dangerous and destabilizing. Erdogan has not forgiven the EU, and his resentment extends to NATO and the U.S.

Some security experts fear that Turkey will become a growing threat in the region. Some point to the anomaly that Turkey is on track to get America’s newest strike fighter, the F-35, while it installs the latest Russian S-400 missile shield that does not integrate with NATO’s own missile system.

2 Comments on NATO’s Middle East Despot Tightens His Grip on Turkey

  1. “Moscow has privately suggested that it will mediate a deal with his nemesis in Syria, Bashar al-Assad, permitting Turkey to ensure the Syrian Kurds do not become a problem on its border”

    What a nice, bland, political way of saying, Russia will allow Turkey to continue massacring the Syrian Kurds, and invading Syria, as Erdogan did in January 2018.

    Erdogan wants a 100 mile extension from Turkey into the Syrian country, to allow his drug smugglers and terrorist groups free reign to cross over and back any time they want to, without any interference from the Kurds: who have been staunch US allies.

Frustration with Construction

Today again I was frustrated while trying to do something at the house.

I guess first I need to explain how most houses are constructed here in the Philippines.
The exterior and interior walls are made from a 4 inch thick masonry block. They are made with a low quality concrete and are not used as a structural element. There are formed and poured concrete columns and beams for structure and then the 4 inch block is more of just a fill.

If you watch the construction, the mortar joints are very uneven and there sometimes not full and smooth.
After the wall is up they use a concrete plaster to cover the exterior and interior walls like a stucco finish. This is their way of covering all mistakes. Unfortunately over time the plaster cracks.

If you ever want to add electrical or plumbing, you need to chip out the wall and then re-concrete it closed.

Back to my frustration;

Here for clothesline we use a thick gage steel wire. To attach it in the past to the wall I got plastic expansion anchors that you drill a hole and the screw expands the anchor. Well over time the concrete crumbles under the weight of wet cloths and fell out. I next got Sleeve Anchors but 2 of them failed too. Today using a bigger anchor the wall kept crumbling. I had to break out more of the hole, mix some concrete to fill it solid and as soon as it sets I will then try again.

Think how easy it is in the States where you have studs and drywall. Any time you want to hang a picture, you just use the thin nail and a picture hook. Here you need to get some item to attach to concrete.

I have to accept it since I have no choice but in the future, if I am able to build a house, all interior walls will be metal studs with either concrete board or regular drywall.

    Here on Samal with lots of humidity and ocean air, are metal studs or drywalls ok? I leave all windows and doors open to let in the breeze, and I find that some metal fastenings and hinges are already rusty (even tho they are supposed to be stainless steel). I also see that it is common here to paint solygnum (spelling?) on the bare wood to prevent termite attacks. I think they also put a heavy underlining before the foundation to prevent humidity from seeping up from the ground. don’t know.

  2. Bruce says:

    I will discuss your comments with the architect. I know in America we have used drywall for as long as I have ben alive and before aircon. The steel framing I am not sure.
    I will discuss it and post as soon as I have an answer.

    P.S. we have not forgotten your invite, just looking for a good weekend to plan it.

  3. Ellen says:

    Thanks Bruce. I am familiar with the gyprock used in North America. In fact, I did the whole plastering, sanding and painting in the basement. I don’t think it is available here. When you say drywall – is this what you meant? Personally, I think I would use coaltar paint behind walls and outdoors to termite-proof and humidity proof it. I was told solygnum is only good where it is applied and has a limited effective time. Whereas coaltar paint is very effective. Refer to:

  4. Bruce says:

    Yes, gyp board, sheetrock and drywall are the same things.

    I spoke a little with the architect. He agrees steel studs could rust but if the moister is kept down with propper ventilation it should not become a problem. He said here they use cement board more often, it is like a drywall. He also said for more protection but more money too is paint the studs with a rust proof paint before application of wall board.

  5. Ellen says:

    Thanks again. I’ve heard of cement board all the time, but don’t think I’ve seen one. Maybe I have but didn’t know it. We’ve lived in the boat for several years and I know what humidity and dampness can do 🙂

  6. passerby says:

    Houses there are made of masonry and concrete because its the cheapest and easiest material to source, over there in america steel studs with gypsum boards are more convenient and practical with HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cable and phone utilities installed within the hollow walls. Structural wise Philippines is located in an active zone of seismic activity therefore reinforced concrete and spread footing foundation is used (to prevent differntial settlement and lateral forces) for the masonry walls maybe it makes good sense for security reasons :P. In the west or say north america drastic temperature changes makes for the consideration of construction since using conrete walls would be futile in effort and hard to maintain because of cracking by drastic temperature changes and hard to insulate during winter months.

    Wood would also be expensive to use and hard to maintain due to the fact that termites infest the entire country of the Philippines 😛 just my 1.99 cents

    • Bruce says:

      Thanks for visiting and your 1.99 cents.
      It is true about masonry is the cheapest and easiest to build with, but the quality of a lot of the masonry has a lot to be desired. Also the cracks appear here too soon and needs to be filled in.
      With concrete walls, they absorb the heat all day and radiate at night so it is hard to cool off the house.
      But, hopefully over time, new techniques will be utilized here and will be more common.

CLOSING TIME (remember that song?)

It's me, Michelle, here!  I'm the owner at A Million Memories (if you didn't know that).  I've been dreading this blog post, but it's time.  After much thought and consideration, my family and I have decided to close A Million Memories.  My family life and priorities have changed so much in the past few years that I haven't been able to put my full attention into it anymore.  My kids are getting older and we just don't want to miss any more time with them than we have already.   It's been an amazing ride.  If you don't know our story, here's a little skip down memory lane.

In 2006,  my friend Alison and I were working full-time at a law firm in Irvine, California.  Our daughters were both 3 years old and I also had a 2 year old son. It was driving us crazy having to leave them every day while we went to work.  I remember having long chats with her during our morning breaks and we would talk about what we could do while working at home.  We were basically daydreaming, but when an opportunity arose to purchase an already established online scrapbook store and kit club, I jumped on it!  After discussing it more and more with her, she agreed to be my business partner in this crazy venture.  A month or so later, we were packing up monthly kits, taking in orders and making our first business trip to Memory Trends in Las Vegas. All of this, while working full-time, taking care of our homes and families ~ but we didn't care.  This was our dream and we were going to work hard to make it work.

In November of 2007, my then 4 year old daughter Chloe was diagnosed with Leukemia.  Our lives were turned upside down and we struggled with staying strong and positive to get her through it.  One of the saving graces for me was not only Alison, but also all of the wonderful friends that I had made in that past year through A Million Memories.  People were constantly praying for her, she would receive sweet little gifts in the mail to help lift her spirits, one friend, Michelle Magana (who lived in Georgia at the time), even came to visit Chloe in the hospital.  Michelle was new to our community at the time, but still had a heart big enough to come and meet Chloe and the rest of our family.  I mean ~ that still chokes me up.  Very good people out there and I have met SO MANY life long friends through this venture.

In 2008, Alison stepped out of the business (I really think she did this for me more than anything because she knew how much it meant to me and how much heart and soul I had invested in it).  My family stepped in after that and we have been working together ever since.  I left my full-time job to take care of Chloe while she went through chemo and started working full-time on AMM until she was done in March of 2010.  It's been a wonderful experience and I will be forever grateful for the faith that my family has in ME and for the strength that having this business gave to me while our family was really struggling (emotionally and financially).  I've made some amazing friends that  I will forever stay in touch with (and hopefully share more vacations with).  :)  I want to say a very special thank you to all of the women that have designed for AMM in the past and a special thank you to my online besties Jennifer Findley and Tonya Dirk. They have been amazingly fun, inspiring and supportive people!!!

About 2 weeks ago, I just decided that it was done.  My heart is not in building this business anymore.  I have a new full-time job that is pretty much my dream job at this point in my life. They give me the flexibility that I need to be with my kids for school events, sports activities, etc., and it is within walking distance from my home.  I would like to have more free time to play catch in the yard with my kids, work on some home remodeling, enjoy some road trips with my husband and do a little crafting ONLY for myself.  So it is with a smile on my face and true sense of freedom that I really haven't felt in a while, that I say I am ok with saying good-bye to AMM at this point in my life.

OK, with all of that being said, I am going to work diligently to try and clear out our shop in the next few months.  Right now, the entire store is 60% off.  Use code SUMMER at check-out (SUMMER is my goal for having this all done, so that I can actually ENJOY summer again).

Thanks again for all of the wonderful memories that you have shared with me and I hope that you have made friends through our community as well.  Feel free to leave comments and let me know how AMM might have brought something positive into your life (like it did for me)!

Trail Fuel: Homemade Beef Jerky

Beef jerky is one of MM and my favourite camping treats.  It's a super satisfying as a snack, a welcome break from monotonously sweet trail mix, and is a delicious addition to a bowl of instant mashed potatoes.

I can't imagine its healthy per say, but homemade beef jerky has to at least be a little healthier than the store bought stuff.  Right?  Right.  Let's go with it, ok?  Luckily, if you have a food dehydrator, it's easy to make.

I've eaten a lot of the store bought stuff and I've experimented a bit with recipes.  I'm sold on a recipe based on the Doc's Best Beef Jerky recipes from  I'd classify it as a cross between a teriyaki and a classic jerky recipe.  It's salty, a little sweet, and not spicy.

I changed it a smudge, here's how I do it:

About 1 lb of the leanest inside round steak you can find.
1/4 cup tamari sauce (I use this instead of soya sauce because I'm avoiding wheat currently, but soya sauce works just as well, I've tried both).
2 Tbsp Worcestershire
2 tsp salt (I like grainy kosher salt)
1 tsp black paper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika

First you need to slice up the beef.  If you've got any visible fat on your beef your going to want to cut that off.  Fatty bits won't ruin the process, but they sure don't add anything and I find them unappealing in the finished product.

As the original recipes suggests, to get really nice thin slices it helps to freeze it first for about 30 minutes.  Alternatively, if you can find beef that's already thinly sliced or get your butcher to do it that's even better.  I find that the inside round from Price Smart Foods (in Western Canada) is already sliced thin, so it's perfect.

Next, mix all that good stuff (a.k.a. everything but the beef) together into a yummy paste.  Put your beef strips into heavy duty ziplock, add that sauce, make sure you get it all coated, and marinate in the fridge  for at least half a day.  If you don't feel like the sauce has quite enough liquid to cover all of your beef, you can add a quarter cup of hot water to the mix to thin it out.  This is also a good idea if you would like a milder, less salty end product.

Next it's dehydrating time!  I use a NESCO Food and Jerky Dehydrator.  It's from Costco.  It's a good quality dehydrator with a fan and all that jazz.  Set that bad boy to 160 degrees F.

I like my jerky dry and crunchy so I let it go for about 12 hours.  The time really depends on how thick you've sliced your meat and your personal preference, so I'd suggest checking in on it after 8 hours.  MM often makes fun of me for producing "jerky chips" but I like them that way.

I keep my jerky in the freezer in an air tight freezer bag and it appears to keep forever (or for however long I can manage to keep my hands off of it).  Once you take it out of the freezer it should be good for a couple of weeks, varying depending on how dry you've made the product.

A raw, rippling Pharmakon noise performance. A reading from Richard Hell. A massive, enveloping, collaborative sound art performance piece with Matthew Barney. In a 19th century glue factory, at last weekend’s Basilica SoundScape art and music festival, all this happened.

MG: The venue is in Hudson — a two hour train-ride from Penn Station and then, a two minute walk. Not an epic trek, but it requiring commitment and preparation. Andy and I went for more of a whim and wing it thing. Approaching the brick and glass giant at Golden Hour, in the middle of relative wilderness…

…it felt like a scene from Pola Xsoundcheck ricocheting through the empty hall, Evian Christ fingering the gears, the slanted sunshine. It was cinematic.

But we needed a place to pitch our tent.

After bouncing between volunteer staff, we waited for the black van promised to shuttle us to Meadowgreens Campgrounds fifteen miles away. “Andy, is that a black van?” “No, that’s a grey truck.”

Andy was put in charge of our general safety right then.

Our shuttle driver was a lovely twenty-year-old Bard student named Riley, who loved living in Hudson. When the two burly men on ATVs began to follow us down the country road to a foresty clearing adjacent to a trailer park, she was cheery about it. Her brake light was out, they said. They chatted and laughed and took her chauffeured her around the campgrounds on their ATVs. We were experiencing culture shock from all the friendliness and remained optimistic until twenty minutes in, when, symbolically kicking in the spokes of our wobbly K-Mart tent, we questioned the validity of these strategic arrangements.

AC: We made it to the venue at around dusk and missed Peter Sotos’s weekend-opening reading in favor of scarfing down pulled pork sandwiches and hot dogs from a local food vendor who had set up shop at the Basilica. #noregrets. Then, it was time for the music…

Pharmakon consumed every inch of the stage during her opening performance, and when that wasn’t enough, she moved into the audience. The synth drones were massive and overwhelming, the vocals were uncompromising, and the percussion work — carried out on what seemed to be a contact mic-ed sheet of metal — was brutal in its insistence. With its driving rhythm and punk rock physicality, this was noise that would move even the most noise-averse.

A telling moment came during her soundcheck, when, after a bit of nauseatingly loud bass that had more than a few attendees retreating from the speakers, she looked up and gave the sound guy an enthusiastic, hand-waving thumbs-up — universal code for “turn that up, please.”

MG: The first night did not feel like a music festival, but a multi-act art event. You passed from one happening to another, from one room to the next. You loitered. There was no where “outside” to go, but there was a small bricked cave that may have been an oven. It was a video screening room now.

Richard Hell’s reading took place in a separate hall of mismatched chairs, low lighting and a detectible rumble of fandom, or at least, of appreciation for Hell’s New York. It got dark.

“How many others have been ruined by her willingness, her deep submission and its power?… I know I’m talking to myself. Stories are so full of death. Well it’s close enough here. I mean here it is. There it is. Right there beside me on the bed. That’s not just a story. The problem is once you kill them you can’t hit them,” Hell read and I shivered.

“You know what my favorite book is? Your butt.'” Ringing laughter. “That’s the only poem of mine I know by heart. It’s for my wife. She’s a librarian.” He must be the most lovable villain on Earth.

AC: During a Q&A after the reading I asked Hell about his present-day relationship to all the music he made decades ago. He said he felt his time in the Voidoids constituted his only meaningful contributions to music, as he left both Television and the Heartbreakers before either band got the chance to record. Of those Voidods records, though: “I think we wrote some pretty good songs.”

MG: These are Basilica SoundScape’s only attendees that I’ve previously met offline. It was nice to get a friendly hug after marinating in waves of deep unease and attraction to Richard Hell. I had no idea that Prince Rama were performing!

AC: Julianna Barwick’s compositions are like hymns suspended in ice. Thanks to her signature vocal looping technique, chords that begin simple and open grow gradually more complex as the pieces progress, and — thanks to a backing ensemble featuring Prince Rama’s Takara and Nimai Larson, which gradually assembled behind Barwick as she played — her entire set unfolded in much the same way.

MG: There was a pause. Evian Christ performed and a small funnel of a rave seemed to swirl by his DJ stand, grinding to his meticulously dropped breaks. It was the kind of dance music that deteriorated in on itself, fun but structured just conceptually enough to be completely at home here. I can see how this plays well in large, young-stuffed 285 Kent-type venues.

Another pause.

Then, Matthew Barney, his composer Jonathan Bepler and Basilica SoundScape’s co-curator, Pitchfork’s Brandon Stosuy presented their piece, an experiement akin to their previous collaborations. Bepler stood in the center of the giant hall. Pharmakon, Julianna Barwick, Evian Christ and Pig Destroyer helmed the four walls. It all was happening at once.

Pharmakon’s screams dissolving into amplified, shattering sound. Evian Christ’s unrelenting percussion. Pig Destroyer, blasting grindcore and Barwick’s angelic loops, building with the violin.

It was not a cacophony. There was no harmony to be heard, just to be felt, reverberating. As I ran around the room, it was like navigating an organic forcefield, a solid wall that gave way and molded around you.

AC: Pig Destroyer closed the evening with a bang, though theirs was the only set to suffer from the Basilica’s reverberant acoustics–without a bassist holding them to the ground, the band’s punishing rhythms and low end were a little lost to the venue’s vaulted ceilings and concrete. Still, the band crushed, and despite a largely non-metalhead crowd, a small-but-enthusiastic pit eventually came together.

MG: After the show, we came up to Pig Destroyer and asked them if they remember ANIMAL’s “Pug Destroyer” video. “Hi, we’re from the internet. We made that thing.” They were pretty psyched about it. We got some hearty pats.

AC: Okay, now it’s really dark. And cold. Camping time! Except: remember Riley, the friendly shuttle driver from before? She invited us back to her apartment after the show, where we stayed up late talking music and art with a few other anti-camping stragglers and ended up crashing on her living room floor. Riley, you are great and you deserve some kind of award.

MG: No, seriously. Who is this person? She had the friendliest pet snake. By morning, when we woke up and all our phones were charged and Riley fed us apples and almond butter, I was certain that Andy and I were dead. We camped in the woods, froze to death, and Riley was a postmortem hallucination. It was the only logical explanation.

MG: Andy leaves. I’m on my own. Uh oh.Hudson is nice in the day time. I bought a change of clothes and sprinted past real estate ads as not to get any crazy ideas. Hung out with a sound art curator who, over tacos, said, “Holden Caulfield is a discursive object.” Then, I hung out with young college students. It was a good day. And who is this now?

Brian DeRan organized the second night, but the bands began to blur together. It started feeling like a real concert. Thankfully, Malang Djobateh was there to break up the sets. There was $5 sake at the bar.

This room is a nice place to sit. I’ll just chill out here until Teengirl Fantasy.

There was $5 sake at the bar.

Oh, there is Brandon Stosuy hello sir HELLOOO! Please, you, listen to my partially intelligible statements of gratitude. Matthew Barney! Thank you Brandon Stosuy. You are very cool. Everyone is nice.

*Intermission aka MG Most Definitely Did Not Go for a Quick Sleep in the Bathroom Stall, Let’s Pretend It Was a Dope Nap*

Oops. Actually, a member of DIIV and guest singer Sky Ferreira actually did get in some trouble earlier in Hudson for heroin and ecstasy related stuff. Some people just can’t enjoy nature. Damn.

DIIV was great though. Sky Ferreira held her own. It was nice to watch her do lifting vocals, shuffling in the aura from a smog machine, all that rising and building. I was perched in the office of the Basilica with the volunteers.

The bar had $5 sake.

I should really eat something.

This hot dog is fucking delicious.

Disco nap. Very refreshing.

Let’s see how much dancing I can do without hitting someone with the camera, as I make a lot of arm movements.

Teengirl Fantasy is so much better live than on record if for the fact that watching them is a necessary part of the experience. Their set up is one gigantic instrument that they swing and hop around, live-sampling, synchronically flipping gears. This house music is textured and organic and alive and familiar, like the other other other night. Are we clubbing?

Oh, they’re good. This is good. Where’d my new friends go?

A few of them were dosing off in the corner, apparently. It was past 2am which is early for me, but I had the Hudson feels. The after party at a pub — the only still awake thing for seemingly miles of darkened town — seemed excessive.

Then, a drunken Kurt Cobain Wizard type offered to cut me.He was liberating his posse from all the plastic wristbands. The gigantic knife he was charmingly swinging at me was glinting neon blue in a hypnotic sort of way that said, “Time to sleep.” See you next year.

“It will still be ‘weird,'” Brandon Stosuy promises me over email the next day. “I’d like to make it a little bigger. But I never want it to become a standard festival with shitty nostalgia acts and flavors of the month, etc.”

There’s definitely no risk in that.

The Coulson Series—It’s about the Women

Authors are often asked how we go about writing a book—do we have the story mapped out in our head—outlined on paper—or do we simply start with a blank page and see where our muse takes us. For many writers we do have the story mapped out, yet that doesn’t mean we always end up at the intended destination. It’s not uncommon for some unseen force to seize control and take us in an entirely different—yet deliberate—direction.

I didn’t fully realize The Coulson Series was really about the women—not until I completed the last book in the series, Coulson’s Reckoning. It became clear to me; it had always been about the women.

I’ve been asked by some readers if Coulson’s Reckoning is the final book in the series, to which I respond, we’ll see. Someday I’d like to tell the story of Sarah and Hannah, yet they have some growing up to do.

As for the women, we start with Mary Ellen from Coulson’s Wife. While the book has garnered favorable reviews, several reviewers questioned Mary Ellen’s actions—suggesting an independent woman of the 1920s would not have made her choices.

I strongly disagree with that assertion. Even in 2014 we hear too often of seemingly capable, independent and intelligent women trapped in abusive relationships. Therefore, if we go back almost a hundred years, in Mary Ellen’s time, how much power did a woman who had no friends, no family support and no money really have? Sure there were some independent women from the 1920s who dared to defy social conventions, notably flappers—which Mary Ellen was not.

In Randall’s defense, he was not an abusive husband—really no more demanding than other men from his era. One reviewer called him selfish, but considering the mindset from that time, it really was a man’s world. He cared for Mary Ellen, took care of his family and loved as best as he could. Perhaps we’d like to reinvent history and reality and believe a spunky woman could live whatever life she truly wanted—but even now that goal is often unattainable.

The Mary Ellen at the end of Coulson’s Wife is a very different woman from the obedient daughter who agreed to marry Randall Coulson. Perhaps she didn’t achieve the degree of liberation some readers wanted—I sincerely believe her choices were realistic for her time and circumstance.

In my opinion someone who sincerely believes it is more plausible that a woman from 1920 would defy social convention to achieve personal happiness doesn’t have a grasp on reality—or historical accuracy.

Yes, we’ve come a long way baby, but we haven’t quite got there, and neither have the women from The Coulson Series. However, they are evolving, with each generation facing their own challenges and each finding her own unique voice.

Release date:
December 22, 2017
Aashiq Abu

Aishwarya Lekshmi, Tovino Thomas, Leona Lishoy

“Sex is not a promise.” I cannot believe I just heard these words from a heroine in a mainstream Mollywood venture. Aparna Ravi a.k.a. Aps in Mayaanadhi (Mystic River) is a far cry from the coy virgins of past Indian films for whom sex was usually a mistake that almost inevitably led to a pregnancy.
This is not to say that other women in Malayalam films – or Indian cinema at large – have not gotten between the sheets with heroes in the past. Just this year, one of the most comical sequences in Angamaly Diaries involved a woman visiting the male protagonist in hospital to offer more than just sympathy. Their sexual escapades were designed as a source of amusement though, and the woman in question was not the heroine. In too many other Indian films, sex between a leading man and woman who are not married to each other has become a sort of mandatory signifier of coolth used by conservative filmmakers to mask their conservatism and/or establish how with-it they are. Exhibit No. 1: Aditya Chopra’s painfully self-conscious “look at me, look how progressive I am” Befikre from Bollywood in 2016. Exhibit No. 2: Mani Ratnam’s aiming-to-be-modern but ultimately conformist O Kadhal Kanmani from Kollywood in 2015.
Hear this, dear Indian filmmakers: showing your heroine having sex is not an indicator of your film’s liberalism, giving your heroine agency is. The difference between aspiring to be feminist on this front (or faking it) and genuine conviction is in evidence in Mayaanadhi.
Aashiq Abu’s new film stars Aishwarya Lekshmi as Aparna and Tovino Thomas as her on-again, off-again boyfriend John Matthew a.k.a. Mathan. Aparna is an acting aspirant who has been earning a living by emceeing and modelling while she works towards a break in films. Mathan was her senior in college and is now a professional racketeer. Each has a challenging family background, his is far more troubling than hers.
Mayaanadhi is a romance disguised as a crime thriller. When the curtain goes up, a series of events unfold that force Mathan into hiding. While he stays low key to escape the police, the film explores his long-standing relationship with Aparna, which is now in the doldrums since she no longer trusts him for reasons that are completely his fault.
Aparna is a bright, determined, professionally ambitious woman who knows her mind in all matters except Mathan. They have been friends as much as lovers – a magical combination that is hard to recover from. Though her head tells her he spells trouble, she remains as fond of him as she is attracted to him. The film stays with them as he desperately tries to get her back in his life while she is torn between her affection for him and her desire to get over him.
There is so much to recommend in Mayaanadhi. The attractive Aishwarya Lekshmi, for one, a model-turned-actor who is effortlessly glamorous on screen. She made her film debut earlier this year in the only awkwardly written passage in the otherwise excellent Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela. In Mayaanadhi she is handed a vast canvas and wonderfully nuanced writing to display her considerable acting chops.
Tovino Thomas has had a year that most actors can only dream of. If in Oru Mexican Aparatha he was a gritty and grim political activist, in Godha he was a man-child, and here in Mayaanadhi we get the full blast of his versatility as he aces Mathan’s irresistible boyish charm and longing for his Aps.
(Spoiler alert) That scene in which Mathan lightly accuses Aparna of “talking like a prostitute” and instantly regrets his words is a fine example of great writing meeting great acting. Her reply, in sharp contrast to his unevolved reaction to their rendezvous, reminded me of Shruti’s response in the morning-after scene in Band Baaja Baaraat (Hindi, 2010) in which Bittoo expresses regret for their sexual encounter, as if it is a catastrophe that he as a man must take responsibility for. (Spoiler alert ends)
For its non-traditionalism, smooth flow, credible characters and situations and so much else, the true stars of Mayaanadhi are director Aashiq Abu and his frequent collaborators, writers Syam Pushkaran and Dileesh Nair. Their lead pair come across as real people with real dilemmas. Neither of them is flawless, but unlike in most commercial Indian cinema, the man’s mess-ups in the relationship are not casually justified or glorified. And it is a joy to see a woman who is strong but not in a cliched filmi fashion: her strength is believably human and not divine.

Team Mayaanadhi draws us into Aparna and Mathan’s story so effectively that we ache for them. The film’s atmospherics are compelling. DoP Jayesh Mohan ensures that Mayaanadhi is visually exquisite. His colour palette is dominated by whites, blacks and steely grays in the outdoors, almost as if Kerala in this film is experiencing an icy winter it never does in reality. This cinematographic choice serves to build up a sense of immense sadness and a feeling of foreboding around the fate of Aparna and Mathan’s romance.

There is also a largeness and grandeur to his outdoor frames, but the director’s narrative style is such that when Aparna and Mathan are together on screen, nothing matters but these two. He also wisely eschews song and dance numbers that are characteristic of commercial Indian cinema. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is allowed to distract from the ruminative mood of the narrative and the twosome around whom it revolves.

Till the interval, I remember being curious about the mystery behind the crimes we witness in the film’s opening scenes. Those questions recede into the background by the second half, by which time I found myself more preoccupied with what to expect for Aparna and Mathan as a couple.

There are plenty of other people around them, including some characters with stories that are striking even though their time on screen is limited. The actor Sameera played by Leona Lishoy, her autocratic brother (Soubin Shahir) and Aparna’s emotionally needy mother all leave an impression, yet somehow the film seems mysteriously depopulated. This is the most remarkable aspect of Mayaanadhi: Abu builds his narrative in such a way that his satellite characters are not neglected but his lead couple are lost in their own thoughts and their own world, and I found myself lost in them.

This is what gives Mayaanadhi its fine balance between being relatable and yet being an epic romance. It is a befitting December release in a year that has witnessed some great works from Malayalam cinema.

10+ Insanely Detailed Animal Drawings That Will Make You Fall In Love With Nature

(Truth Theory) While traveling through India, visual artist Faye Halliday had the pleasure of attending the Elephant Festival in Jaipur. After witnessing the majestic beasts painted with intricate patterns, she was struck with the idea to create a project which focuses on the ornate detail and beauty of wild animals.

The animals Halliday has come across in her travels around the world are the focus of her paintings, in which animals are depicted as hypnotizing, dream-like works of art. All comprise the series she named Haathi, which means elephant in Hindi.

As Bored Panda reports, Halliday has visited a number of tropical destinations. According to her most recent Instagram update, she is currently in the Seychelles — a place her 328,000 followers undoubtedly wish they were, too.

Following are 10+ of her insanely detailed works that will make you fall in love with nature upon glimpsing them:
