Day 7: Gorilla Tracking
After an early breakfast, you will proceed to the National Park headquarters – Kinigi to meet your guides for the day. After completing our park formalities, we are embark on a once in a life time experience of tracking mountain gorillas. Once you spot them you are allowed to spend an hour watching your closest long lost cousin. This is perhaps one of the most breathtaking wildlife experiences on earth!!! You get so close to these awesome giant primates. You stare at each other blankly not knowing who to break the long silence first. Tracking the gorillas through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga is a magical experience. These massive primates are extremely rare, with less than 700 living today.
You will get within meters of the family, and be privileged to spend an hour amongst them. The trekking may be fairly strenuous; up to six hours or longer at a relatively high altitude. We encourage for your own enjoyment to make sure that you are perfectly fit and healthy. (We've had people as old as 70 years old do gorilla tracking so this should not be a problem; all you need is to ask your driver guide to request a shorter group for you if cannot you trek far) It is important to bring good hiking boots, long trousers, gloves for protection against stinging nettles, some snacks & sweets (for you, not the gorillas) as well as sufficient water as the rain forest gets hot and humid during the day. You will spend one hour with the gorillas, but it is an hour you will never forget. Return to your hotel for lunch and later dinner and overnight.

The Golden Monkey tracking in the Volcanoes National Park, entering dense stands of bamboo interspersed with open glades; you will make your way deep into golden monkey territory. Guides lead visitors to the habitat of groups of 'habituated' golden monkey's that have become accustomed to human presence. Though viewing is kept to a maximum of one hour, travelers can get an up-close look at the golden monkey in its natural habitat. Adult monkeys frolic in plain view, feeding on bamboo leaves and leaping from perch to perch. Females carry their young, completely comfortable among onlookers.
After the trekking, your guide will discuss with you about the possible option such as visit the local market, the Ibyiwacu community village (a village of former poachers including the pygmies). Return to your Lodge for dinner and overnight.

The Red Sox dropped their second straight game to the Tampa Rays last night, this time by the score of 3-2. The bigger loss may have come in the person of Kevin Youkilis, who injured his right ankle and had to leave the game in the fourth inning.
Here are your top stories from another scorching day in New England:
Rays exploit depleted Red Sox – Gordon Edes has the Red Sox left with no good options after losing Kevin Youkilis.
Backup plan falling apart – Nick Cafardo says that the Red Sox have found the last two nights that it is tough to beat a team of major leaguers with a squad of 4A talent.
Lineup in real crisis – John Tomase says that the injury strain is finally beginning to show for the Red Sox.
Beckett takes another step – Peter Abraham's Red Sox notebook has Josh Beckett showing real progress in his simulated game yesterday.
Winning the NBA lottery – Bob Ryan looks at the undeserving players who are also getting rich this offseason.
Lafayette looking to secure spot – Chris Forsberg looks at why Oliver Lafayette could be an intriguing prospect for the Celtics.
Gaffney looks to make an impact with his defense – A. Sherrod Blakely has piece on another Celtics hopeful, forward Tony Gaffney.
Brown and O'Neal said to be in play – Gary Washburn's notebook has a look at the Celtics search for a free agent big man.
Colborne at center of everything for Bruins – Joe Haggerty has a piece on the Bruins top pick in 2008, who is looking to move to the big club this season. Mike Loftus also has a piece on Colbourne.
A few sizzling topics for a hot day – Jim Donaldson has a few thoughts.
Within a span of a few minutes yesterday afternoon, I heard the clueless Mike Adams demand to know why Kendrick Perkins waited to have knee surgery, only to be informed by Cedric Maxwell that the swelling in his knee needed to go down before the surgery could be performed. Adams then referenced Wes Welker and his quick recovery, the inference being that Perkins needs to do the same.
Then in a switch over the 98.5, I hear Felger and Massarotti going over the comments of Tom Brady's throwing coach Tom Martinez, who stated that Brady had three broken ribs and a broken finger last season. The duo immediately used this to vindicate Charlie Casserly, of all people. Casserly, you recall, reported on CBS that Brady had broken ribs, a claim that Bill Belichick refuted on WEEIthe next day. This was used to make the leap that Bill Belichick lies about everything.
Felger even went into a painful Glenn Ordway-like "fan" impression mocking Patriots fans.
But how much do Felger and Massarotti really know about the situation? Casserly made his report in January. Others had reported the Brady injury occured much earlier than that (see update)- some even placed the injury to the preseason when Albert Haynesworth crushed Brady. Perhaps Belichick was knocking Casserly's timing, as the ribs may have healed by January. Whatever the case, using the recent comments to validate Casserly and then apply to other things the coach has said, is par for the course for those in the media who are just looking for the opportunity throw the word liar out there.
Then they used a caller as a jumping point to a logic leap that Tom Brady is ticked off at the Patriots for not giving him a contract. Anything to tweak the Patriots fans in the "footy pajamas."
Another leap of logic is the Jacoby Ellsbury situation. Without knowing a single thing, and simply comparing it to the "same" injury suffered by Jeremy Hermida, it automatically means that Ellsbury is either faking his injury or incredibly soft. The reality is, Felger and Massarotti don't have a clue about Ellsbury's injury, they don't know what the injury is, how it is healing, or what it feels like, so they're making stuff up with their twisted leaps of logic.
Just a snapshot of sports radio in Boston.

Replace a Missing Tooth With a Tooth Implant
Compared to previous generations when tooth loss was common, modern dentistry has made it possible for people to keep their teeth healthy and attractive for their entire lives. But for people who have experienced tooth loss, a full or partial denture has been the answer.
But dentures have drawbacks. Food gets caught under the denture with resulting sore gums. Or a denture can loosen and cause embarrassment.
Today, dental implants can replace missing teeth. Although the concept of a tooth implant is not new, advances in technology have improved the treatment process and the longevity of implants.
Modern day dental implants are made of pure titanium and are surgically inserted in the jawbone. The tooth implant is covered with gum tissue and allowed to heal for three to six months. During this time, the titanium meshes with the bone (osseointegration), becoming part of the jawbone itself. After the gums are healed, the implants are uncovered and permanent tooth replacements are attached to the implants.
Dental implants can be used for single tooth replacements, support for a permanent bridge, or as attachments to anchor a full denture securely to the jaw.
If you think a tooth implant could help you or someone you know chew more comfortably, speak more clearly, or look better, call your dental office for more details.

Paging Dr. Amber
Yesterday, my throat was a little sore.
Last night, my neck felt like it couldn't support my head and I was rapidly developing a sinus headache.
This morning, I felt like my body was its normal size and my head was a Goodyear blimp. Stuffy, achy, sneazy, runny — you know the drill.
So I did what I always do. I broke out the patented "Amber Cure-All for Common Head Cold." Now, I don't think any of this is enlightening, but I swear, I always follow this regimen and I'm never sick for longer than two-to-three days (just watch; I'll be sick for a month now that I said that).
When I wake up with a sore throat, I start small. These are practically industrial-strength Vick's cough drops, and they really do soothe fairly quickly. Now, that doesn't mean I can turn around and eat Tostitos or popcorn. It just means I can swallow slightly better.
If I have to go somewhere, or stay alert for most of the day, then I pop a Sudafed. I hate swallowing pills, so the teeny tiny Sudafed is awesome for me. Funnily enough, whenever I give Sean a Sudafed, he gets worse. Whatevs.
If I don't have to be anywhere important, then I bust out the Dayquil. Supposedly, Dayquil is non-drowsy. But, as my friends and family can attest, there is no such thing as "non-drowsy" for me. EVERYTHING knocks me out. I used to have fever dreams on Dimetapp!
I once came home from school, gave myself some Dimetapp and laid down on the couch for a nap. When my mother woke me up at 8 for dinner, I freaked out, insisted we were missing school and demanded she make me breakfast because I thought it was 8 a.m. the following day. She literally had to talk me down. So that's why I can only take Dayquil when I don't have to be at work. I took some today and multiple times, my head just kind of collapsed backward while I was sitting on the couch. But it works; my neck and throat still hurt a little, but I feel way better.
ALSO: If you're like me, and you get insanely achy, try the Thermocare heating pads for neck and shoulders. It really works, at least temporarily, and they sell a sample size for $2.99.
This part is crucial: tomato soup (I like mine with a little parmesan). Forget chicken noodle; tomato soup is smooth, creamy, filling and can easily be dressed up or dressed down. It also doesn't have creepy, tiny chunks of chicken that you have to go fishing to find. If you're really stuffy, try chicken tortilla soup (I especially love the soup at Cheddar's); the spices will definitely clear those nasal passages.
Finally, I skip the herbal tea with the honey and lemon that everyone always suggests. That's all fine and well, but chai is so much more decadent and deliciouso. ESPECIALLY when served in my beloved "Elvis Lives" mug from Graceland.
The only other tip I have: double fist orange juice and water throughout the day. I don't know why I think that works; it just makes me feel better, like I have control over the situation.
So, what are your superstitious get-better-quick tips? What did mom always do for you when your throat hurt or your tummy ached?

For my mom, it's all about the hot tea and a bath. Now for Sean, that just doesn't count, since he drinks it all the time... or he did when he lived at home.
She's also big on Ginger Ale for tummy aches and Aspirin for any and all illnesses - head aches, body aches, cramps, fever... anything. The other family cure-all that has nothing to do with an illness is Noxzema. Any skin ailment you can possibly think of, Noxzema will cure it. I highly recommend it, at least for Irish skin. :)

Justin is a little sicky-man right now. Part of my nighttime ritual these days is drinking a piping hot cup of Celestial Seasonings' "Sleepytime" chamomile tea with honey, but last night, I made Justin a cup, too, in hopes of soothing his inflamed sinuses.
It was so cute - I asked him if he liked the tea, because I'd never seen him drink it before. Turns out his mom used to make him the exact same thing when he was sick as a child!
I know, I'm being gross, but it made me all "Awwwwwwww-wwww!" to know that I was takin' care of him like his momma once did. Aww. Domestication.
In other news, I can't take Dayquil or Nyquil. They anger my temperamental kidneys. If you're a smoker, smoking menthols really helps with a head cold! ...I'm the worst doctor ever.

It's always good to drink lots of water ... helps keep you hydrated and flushes stuff out, I guess. And everyone's always saying that garlic has antibiotic properties. So maybe put some garlic in the tomato soup? And spicy stuff helps clean out the sinuses.

Dayquil and Nyquil always work for me, but I'm very prone to crazy Nyquil dreams/nightmares.

I was recently horribly allergy sick. When you are the kind of sick where you aren't hungry but your throat just needs to be soothed, I eat a little ice cream. I know dairy is supposed to add to phlegm, but I think a little of the cold really helps. Also, Disney movies and lying on the couch. It brings back the whole elementary school sick day feeling.

I was tempted to watch Dora the Explorer; that's always better when doped up on cough medication.

100 Pounds Lost
Weight Loss Before and After: Joseph Loses 159 Pounds And Gets Fit
Former weight: 340 pounds
Current weight: 181 pounds
Pounds lost: 159 pounds
Height: 5 feet 11 inches
How long he's kept it off: 6 months. "I started in February 2008 at over 340 pounds and have been [around] 180 pounds since May 2009," Totter says.
Personal life: "I am a network analyst for the phone company," he says. He lives in Oxford.
Turning point: "I was having major health issues and was just falling apart," he says. "I went to the doctor in February 2008 and my blood sugar was around 700 [mg/dL], and my triglycerides were off the chart. I had to do something and fast. I decided I like my pulse; I had become rather attached to it, so I had to get myself straight."
Diet plan: "I believe in the KISS principle: keep it simple stupid," he says. "I cut out all sugars, and for lunch and dinner it's all salads. It is just simple that way. No counting or silly points, Just salads. I do have scrambled eggs and tomatoes for breakfast. I did add bananas for fruit after a year. I will only have diet drinks, mainly I drink tea. Funny, but being diabetic makes it easy for me. There is no choice but to eat like I do."
Exercise routine: "It's all about cycling for me," he says. He bikes daily between 35 and 50 miles. On the weekends, he does century rides – 100-mile bike rides.
Biggest challenge: "Really there is not one any more. My habits are set," he says. "If I go out I just order salad, and if I am traveling I will stay at a hotel that has an exercise room so I can work out. I stick to what I do. I plan on keeping my pulse for as long as I can. This makes me very highly motivated."
How life has changed: "I am in better health and feel better," he says. "I love going to the bike rides. It's been a huge part of my life now. For me this was not about vanity or psychology but just purely a health issue. I am off all medication and plan to keep it that way."

Just tell the truth. The real tiebreaker is conference.
All week I heard college football playoff committee chair Kirby Hocutt blather on about the playoff selection process. He said they look at everything -- offense, defense, special teams.
If teams are too close to separate, they use these tiebreakers: conference championships; strength of schedule; head-to-head; common opponents.
Ohio State and Alabama are virtually even. OSU is third in the country in total offense (Alabama 22nd). Alabama is first in total defense (OSU 15th). Ohio State had better signature wins (Penn State, Wisconsin) than Alabama (LSU). Call that a push and go to tiebreakers.
Ohio State won a conference championship and Alabama did not. Ohio State's schedule was better (2nd toughest in country compared to 10th). They did not play head-to-head or have common opponents.
Verdict: Ohio State.
But the committee went with Alabama as the final team in the playoff Sunday, because the SEC always gets preference.
So just tell us that.

There's nothing quite like watching your son or daughter compete on the athletic field. It's a mixture of anticipation, pride — and occasionally, anxiety. Despite all the protective gear and training, kids are sometimes injured playing the sports they love. In fact, when it comes to dental injuries, teens are the most susceptible of any age group. Here's what you should know about preventing sports-related dental injuries in kids.
Of course you know that football and hockey players should always wear mouthguards, both at games and during practice. But don't forget about kids who play soccer, do gymnastics, wrestle or play basketball. According to the American Dental Association (ADA) these athletes — along with participants in about 20 other sports — also need to wear this important piece of protective gear. In fact, the ADA states that not wearing a mouthguard makes an athlete 60 times more likely to sustain dental injury!
In selecting a mouthguard, there are three basic options to choose from: the "off-the-shelf" type, the so-called "boil and bite" protector, and the custom-fitted mouthguard that we can fabricate. Let's look briefly at all three.
The first type, available at many sporting goods stores, comes in a limited range of sizes, and an unknown range of quality. It's the least expensive option, offering a minimal level of protection that's probably better than nothing.
The second type, although popular, is also limited in its protection. This one is designed to be immersed in hot water, and then formed in the mouth using finger, tongue and bite pressure. If it can be made to fit adequately, it's probably better than the first type — though it often lacks proper extensions, and fails to cover the back teeth. Also, upon impact, the rubber-like material will distort and not offer as much protection as you would like to have.
The third is a piece of quality sports equipment that's custom-made for your child's mouth (or your own). To fabricate this mouthguard, we first make a model of the individual's teeth, and then mold the protector to fit just right. Made from tough, high-quality material, it's designed to cover all teeth, back and front, without being excessively bulky. It can even be made to accommodate growing teeth and jaws. And, it's reasonable in cost.
To paraphrase the ADA's recommendation, the best mouthguard is the one you wear. A comfortable, correctly-fitted mouthguard is easy to wear — and it can help prevent dental injury, giving you one less thing to worry about. Now, if you could just get you child to keep her eye on the ball.
If you have questions about mouthguards or sports-related dental injuries, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more in the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Athletic Mouthguards" and "An Introduction to Sports Injuries & Dentistry."
On his way to the top of the urban contemporary charts, the musician, actor and entrepreneur known as 50 Cent (born Curtis James Jackson III) earned his street credibility the hard way; his rise from youthful poverty to present-day stardom is chronicled in many of his rhymes. So when it came time for the rapper to have cosmetic work performed on his teeth, he insisted on doing it in his own way.
"I told [the dentist] to leave [my front teeth] a little bigger than the other ones, because I need to still see me when I look in the mirror," he told his co-host on the New York radio station Power 105.1. "Don't give me no whole 'noter guy — I like me!"
We understand how 50 Cent feels — in fact, we think it's a perfectly reasonable request.
Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way in recent years, as we strive to meet the increasing expectations of our patients. We realize that different people have different perceptions of what makes a smile attractive — and that in dental aesthetics, beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. That's why, before we begin cosmetic work, we want to hear what you like and don't like about your smile as it is now. In addition, we can also perform what is called a "smile analysis."
This procedure doesn't cause any discomfort — but it's a crucial part of cosmetic enhancement. In doing the analysis, we look at the various parts of an individual's smile: the spacing, size and alignment of the teeth; the health and position of the gum line; the relationship of the upper and lower jaws; and the relative shape and size of the face. All of these features combine to make a person's smile unique. By looking at them closely, we can help determine the best way for you to improve your smile.
But how can you tell if the cosmetic changes you're contemplating will end up being just right for you? Fortunately, with today's technology, it's easier than ever. Computer imaging offers a chance to visualize the final outcome before we start working on your teeth; it's even possible to offer previews of different treatment options. If you want to go a bit further, we may be able to show you a full-scale model of your new smile.
In some situations, we can even perform a provisional restoration — that is, a trial version of the new smile, made with less permanent materials. If the "temporary" smile looks, feels, and functions just right, then the permanent one will too. If not, it's still possible to make changes that will make it work even better.
Whether you're thinking about having teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers, or dental implants to improve your smile, you probably have a picture in your mind of how the end result should look. Will your teeth be perfectly even and "Hollywood white" — or more "natural," with slight variations in size, spacing and color allowed? Either way, we can help you get the smile you've always wanted.
If you would like more information about smile makeovers and options in cosmetic dentistry, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Cosmetic Dentistry."

Though they're only an hour apart by plane, the chaos of Hollywood feels a world away from the invigorating Zen of revitalize, mbg's invite-only weekend-long wellness event nestled in the pink mountains of the Arizona desert. Emmanuelle Chriqui is equally at home in both worlds. Chriqui is a long-successful actress (catch her this summer in the Super Troopers sequel), but she's also an avid meditator (she does TM, or Transcendental Meditation, every morning) and Level 1 Reiki certified.
On her second visit to revitalize, we chatted about her go-to wellness practices, how she stays sane during long days on set, and why she was a fan of intermittent fasting long before it became trendy.
On her journey to wellness:
"My mother was sick for most of my life—she was battling cancer from when I was like 11, and when I was 14, she was diagnosed with liver cancer. She was given six months to live but ended up fighting it for two years. In those two years, she had Reiki masters and was doing visualization and meditation—you name it, she did it. Several years later, I moved out to LA, which is a tough place for anyone but especially when you're young, coming out on a far-fetched dream. I fell into meditation quickly, and I got my Level 1 Reiki, and it was so comforting. It was like a little bit of my mom with me, a little bit of home. And from there, it just spiraled. I started getting into yoga and ayurveda and all of that. All these years later, it's just part of my life."
On her morning ritual:
"I've become incredibly regimented. Come hell or high water, I'll do the same routine—if I have a press junket at 5 a.m., I wake up at 4 a.m. and still go through it all. Bleary-eyed, I turn the coffee on, make my lemon water, and go get probiotics. Right now, I'm completely obsessed with Coconut Cult yogurt, so I'll eat some of that. I go do Transcendental Meditation, get my coffee, and then sometimes I will do a guided meditation as well as a little boost if I feel like I need it."
On intermittent fasting:
"I don't eat breakfast. When I heard about intermittent fasting, it immediately resonated because I've always had such an aversion to breakfast. One of the things I loved about the talks today (during Session 3, Dr. Steven Gundry and Dr. Carrie Diulus spoke about the myriad benefits of intermittent fasting) was that it reaffirmed so much that, just by being intuitive and listening to my body, I'm so much on the right path. It used to stress me out so much: What do I eat? Do I need to eat? Do I eat before the gym or after? But the doctors today explained that you're simply breaking a fast—it could be at lunch, dinner, whatever."
On what she eats to keep her energy up during long days on set:
"Recently, I was in a little indie movie, Hospitality, and I'm in every scene of the film, which takes a ton of energy. For a project like that, I'll go vegan. I'm not vegan—if I feel like eating a steak, I'll eat a steak; if I feel like eating fish, I'll have fish. But when I need more energy, I'll revert to a vegan diet because then I'm not spending all of that energy digesting. I always notice it after lunch because you've been up since 5 in the morning, and usually after you eat lunch, you just want to go to sleep. But when I go vegan and have tofu, vegetables, a super-light thing, I'll feel great—super energized the whole day."
Missed out on mbg's revitalize livestream? You can still catch all the talks here! Plus, sneak a peek into the gifting suite; find out the No. 1 way we can reduce global warming; read about the diet this hormone-expert recommends to women; and check out the best take-aways from an inspiring panel on the power of breathwork.

Ex-prosecutor Khuzami becomes Guggenheim CLO
Former prosecutor and top SEC enforcer Robert Khuzami joined Guggenheim Partners this week as chief legal officer and a managing partner. He also took a seat on the board of Guggenheim Partners Investment Management Holdings.
Khuzami twice served, for a total of roughly 14 years, in the US attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, most recently as deputy US attorney, second-in-command of the office, handling some high-profile criminal cases.
He also led the SEC's division of enforcement from 2009 to 2013 amid the fallout from the financial crisis and the revelations about the Bernard Madoff investment scandal. During his tenure, the division filed record numbers of cases in fiscal years 2011 and 2012 following the most significant restructuring in the SEC's history that streamlined procedures and expedited investigations. His team's case load included matters related to complex securities and derivatives tied to subprime mortgages.
Khuzami in 2013 became a partner with Kirkland & Ellis, working in the law firm's government and internal investigations group, before returning to the government in 2018 as the deputy US attorney in Manhattan. Earlier in his career he served as general counsel for the Americas at Deutsche Bank.
He has now joined the senior leadership group that manages Guggenheim and guides its future growth. According to the firm, he will devote significant time to strategic and business activities while also supervising the firm's legal, regulatory and compliance activities. Guggenheim Partners, which states that it has more than $270 billion in assets under management as of June 30, primarily operates in investment management, investment banking and insurance services.
Guggenheim CEO Mark Walter says in a statement: 'We are delighted to have [Robert] as a managing partner and our chief legal officer. His career in both private and public service makes him ideal for his new role at Guggenheim, and we welcome him to our firm.'
Khuzami says in a statement: 'I am both personally and professionally excited to join Guggenheim Partners and its fantastic team. As a private sector lawyer, I learned firsthand of the firm's integrity and commitment to best-in-class business practices and fidelity to its clients. I eagerly look forward to continuing that and helping to manage the firm's future trajectory.'

Simple homemade clutch for a flywheel toy? Answered
I love those old flywheel toy cars and pump tops, but they are getting too rare to disassemble and I'd love to know how they work! I understand the push part, like in a push drill. What I can't seem to find is how to get the wheel faster and faster with repeated pumps. There must be some sort of clutch that somehow doesn't need to match speed with the spinning wheel, and it must be simple, or they wouldn't have used it in those (originally) inexpensive old toys, I do remember that there was no ratchet noise. But I can't figure it out. I know this sort of thing used to be quite common, but I'm drawing a blank on the internet. Any help will be appreciated!
Many thanks!
Many of these toys use a gear that sits in a slot, when pushed the flywheel "picks up" the gear and moves it to the top of the slot engaging with the drive wheels and powering the flywheel, when the wheels are not been driven the gear drops down allowing the flywheel to drive the wheels instead of the other way round.
I have seen some that simply connect wheels to flywheel directly stepping down the flywheel speed to suite the road wheels. Had to untangle one such from my child's hair once. Ouch!
Not sure how old yours are but in the ones I took apart as a kid there was no fancy clutch or similar.
I had two different types, might be the simple one was from china...
The first used a spring and lock system like on your fishing reel or bicycle rear wheel.
As long as the toy spinds faster than the push thread the locks fly past.
Is the push pin faster the pins can grab and transfer the speed.
The simple one only used plastic pins doing the same.
The really old ones however used a push drill mechanism as patented by the company Lorenz Bolz for that purposes in 1913.
Within their patents you also find the description for the music ones that play a song while spinning.
Its probably like the ones in a modern salad spinner.

Hey fellow blogger/artists....
It's getting time to think about and start getting ready for the "ART-A-DAY" show we are going to have at 17 1/2 No. Auburn Gallery on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of March. Here are a few of the things I have been thinking:
First Thursday we will be open from noon to 9pm. Friday and Saturday from noon to 6pm. I will ask and hope that every artist represented in the show will be at First Thursday. I am thinking of setting up a computer with the screen blinking the images we sent to the blog. Rastovich...if you have a hankering to take this project over, I'd love it. Something tells me you know bunches more than I do in this area. But if you are overwhelmed with the thought of adding one more thing to do, I can certainly understand. Let me know okay? If any of you want to come hang out in the gallery on Friday and/or Saturday I'd love the company. We can have a mini-salon, eh? Eat the rest of the food, drink wine, OH, and sell art! I will be in town on Monday the 1st and will be in the gallery preparing for the show. I would like the art to be to the gallery no later than Tuesday the 2nd which will give Bobi and I Wednesday to get everything hung and placed. So please plan on delivering your art and inventory lists which include title, dimensions, and price (so we can make a tag) Monday or Tuesday . My cell phone is 503.708.6187 if you have any questions.
For this show the gallery will not take any commission from the selling price. So please consider keeping your prices low enough that they can all blow out of the gallery. Wouldn't that be great? Then we can be free to make more art....yeehaw.
I am also asking everyone to help out with the munchies, crunchies and gulps. Please consider bring a bottle of wine and one appetizer for the show. It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive. A bowl of m&m's or potato chips would be perfect. I will have a few things also, but any help would be appreciated. I'll supply the glasses plates and napkins.
Okay, that is all I can think of for now. Blog questions, thoughts, suggestions, okay?

PH Navy now capable of using modern missile weaponry
MANILA -- The Philippine Navy (PN) is now capable of using the missile weaponry and other equipment it is acquiring for its ongoing modernization program, the Department of National Defense (DND) said.
This is in wake of the successful test-firing of the Philippine Navy (PN)'s Rafael Advanced Defense Ltd. Spike-ER (extended range) surface-to-surface missile off Lamao Point, Limay, Bataan last August 9.
"Kasi bumili tayo ng missile hindi naman natin alam kung papaano gamitin at saka kung tatama tayo sa target, so ginawa nila, dinala nila dun sa may bandang (Bataan), naglagay sila ngtarget sa dagat, na six kilometers, tinarget nila, bull's eye naman, so happy-happy naman si (PN flag-officer-in-command) Admiral (Robert) Empedrad, ni-report niya sa akin na successful ang testing ng ating missile, so in short, okay naman yung nabili nating missile, kaya naman nating gamitin (We bought a missile yet we do not know how to use it and if it will reach the target. So what they did, they brought it in Bataan, they put a target in the sea, about six kilometers. When they targeted it, it was a bull's eye. So PN flag-officer-in-command Admiral Robert Empedrad was happy. He reported to me that the testing of the missile was successful. The missile that we bought is fine and we can use it)," Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said in an interview Friday.
The weapon was fired from one of the PN's three Spike-ER armed multi-purpose assault craft (MPACs).
The said assault craft was constructed by the Subic-based Propmech Corporation and activated on May 22, 2017.
The PN MPAC Acquisition Project entered into a contract with Rafael, through SIBAT of Israel Ministry of Defense, for the supply and integration of the above-mentioned weapons systems to three Mark III MPACs.
On April 15, 2017, Lorenzana approved the notice to proceed with the project.
The Spike-ER system, which arrived in the country last April, is the PN's first missile weapon capable penetrating 1,000 mm (39 inches) of rolled homogeneous armor and having a range of eight kilometers. (PNA)

Top 3 for 17 Mar
•Fall Registration Opens Monday, 23 Mar
Registration for the fall 2015 semester opens on Monday, 23 Mar. Review the Schedule of Classes for course offerings. Have you confirmed your courses per the plan in DegreeMAP? If you are uncertain on which courses to register in, schedule an advisement session via www.meetme.so/gwmspm.
The MSPM program is not offering project management-specific electives in summer 2015, only core courses. The Department of Decision Sciences (DNSC), though, is offering several electives from their business analytics program that may be of interest:
- DNSC 6290.10 Visualization for Analytics, 1.5 credits, on campus only, Dr. Grover (email@example.com)
- DNSC 6290.11 Business Process Analytics, 1.5 credits, on campus only (hope to offer online section), Dr. Jain (email@example.com)
- DNSC 6290.20 Big Data, 1.5 credits, on campus only, instructor TBD
- DNSC 6290.ON Social Network Analysis for Managers, 3 credits, online only, Dr. Kanungo (email@example.com)
•Academic Probation
Although the terms of academic probation are outlined in detail during the new student orientation, a refresher mid-semester is always helpful. As always, if you have specific questions or concerns about your academic progress, schedule an advisement session with your advisor, that's Cambria, to discuss in detail.
The University Bulletin provides details on the terms of academic probation at GWSB. A student whose GPA falls below 3.0 at any point after completing 9 credit hours will be placed on probation. You will receive a notice from the program when this occurs.
At the graduate level, students may earn grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, or F. Grades of A through C- are considered passing grades. A grade of F indicates a failure in the course. Students who receive a grade of F are required to present cause, for consideration by the program director, as to why continued study should be permitted. Grades of F remain a part of your permanent record and are calculated into your GPA.

The Paradise Pack Journal – New Site Launch & Travel Plans
Welcome guys to my 4th installment of The Paradise Pack Journal.
I'm so happy that you're here!
I can't believe how quickly the time has flown and how it's been over a month since I started blogging about my progress through The Paradise Pack. E ven though I feel like I've made some real progress, there is still so much more that I feel like I need to complete.
If you haven't read last week's post The Paradise Pack Journal: 003, I spoke about what my perfect day looks like. I also explored through Sean Ogle's course what I wanted out of life and created a mind-map putting this into a visual chart. The last entry also gave me the chance to share my new bullet journal and how I planned to use it in the future.
So what's happened this week?
I've started planning for September and my departure from 'normal' life and making location independence a reality. I've also started to launch a brand new website to accompany Let's Get Jobless!!
Travel Planning
I've been hard at work this week planning for the future. I've been looking at all the places that I'd love to visit and tried to decide on a fairly loose timeline. This way I can try to plan in all the countries that I want to visit. My plans for traveling are a little bit different to what my friends have done in the past, I wanted to focus on a few things:
- Traveling slowly – I've decided to try and do a slower form of traveling. I know that traveling fast will have me loving every second but having very little time to focus on my business. Planning for this has been a little more difficult than I anticipated because I want to visit so many different countries. Slow traveling seems to be the perfect solution to this problem so that I can still see different countries. It will also help by freeing up myself time in the middle so I can focus on my business.
- Trying to fit in as much of Europe as possible whilst keeping costs low and still seeing Asia – This is a sacrifice I wish I didn't have to make. As I'm leaving towards the end of September I'm allocating myself around 2 months to spend time in Europe. There are a few reasons for this; firstly I've only ever traveled in Europe in the past so feel like I've seen a lot of it and want to spend more time in Asia. Secondly, I hear that November is the perfect time to fly to Thailand as costs of flights are relatively low and that is when the seasons are starting to change, i.e summer is coming in Thailand.
- Focusing on my business whilst also enjoying the travel experience – What I'm trying to avoid is spending all my time enjoying myself and not growing a business, but on the flip side I don't want to be traveling around the world seeing beautiful locations and not enjoying it because I'm focusing completely on my business. I've got to keep my travel plans flexible so that I can enjoy the best of both.
So far I've come up with this very loose plan of countries that I want to visit, including what activities I'd like to get up to:
1. September 25th – Fly to Stuttgart, Germany and meet up with good friend Julia (cracking German lady I first met in Budapest)
2.Sep 25th until 2nd October – Drive with Julia/Peter/Kiani around Germany hitting other great locations, potentially seeing Austria and ending in Munich for Oktoberfest.
3.October for 2 weeks – Get from Munich somehow to Portugal and chill in some hostels for a few weeks, enjoying the sun and good vibes and working on my freelance business whilst also building up my blog content in that time to get ahead of my post schedule.
4. Last two weeks of October – Get from Portugal to Poland for a few days to enjoy the delights of Greg and Tom's Party Hostel, of which I've heard some amazing reviews. After a few days here I'd like to visit a few other cities but I'm going to decide nearer the time, so will leave around 2 weeks open to pick and choose where I want to go.
5. 8th November for 2 weeks – I want to make my way across toCroatia and enjoy the sun and sites, definitely would love to go to Dubrovnik in this time as I'm a huge Game of Thrones fan. I also want to play this by ear as I'd love to be able to travel on recommendations. I've been told Hvar is beautiful but I want to again focus some time on my business as I think the 3 weeks before this may have been a little crazier than normal.
6. 22nd November onwards – Depending on what date I can get the cheapest flights, I'm going to fly into Thailand. I might also find that I don't necessarily fly into Bangkok but it'd be great if that was reasonably priced so that I can work my way down from there over the next few months. Once I have a bit firmer travel plans I'll share with you guys in a separate post about exactly what the plan is.
What's this new site launch all about?
This week within The Paradise Pack I've been working through Sean Ogle's course in much more detail and I'm now up to Chapter 9. The site launch I'm talking about here is my site dedicated to my freelance work which will be going live in the next few weeks building up to September. This will be a lot of fun to launch as I can take all of the things that I have learned from launching Let's Get Jobless and put them into practice. I'm curious if any of you guys reading have launched a separate site dedicated to freelance work.
If you've launched a separate site dedicated to freelance work, please let me know in the comments.
(I'd love to hear what your chosen freelance skill is and what your challenges were when launching)
What type of freelancing am I offering?
I've decided that since I'm going to focus on freelance writing and coaching I should keep my website URL fairly non-committal to either two in case one type of work takes off more than the other. I decided to go with the domain jamieatkinsonfreelance.com (the website isn't live yet, I'll let you guys know when its ready so I can get your feedback).
Whilst working through Sean's course there were a number of options I could have taken, but I decided the two areas in which I am the strongest, and that I could work on straight away are freelance writing and coaching.
FREE DOWNLOAD: There are some other great skills that you can freelance as well.
I've included a free downloadable PDF with this blog post including the top 5 skills you can freelance to earn an income online.
HINT: There are a couple of skills I didn't even realize that you could freelance!
Check it out here.
Freelance Writing
There are 3 main types of freelance writing in which you can do:
- SEO Writing
- Content Writing
- Copywriting
In the first few weeks, I'm going to focus my efforts on SEO Writing as this is one of the easiest types of writing to start straight away. Articles are usually 300-500 words long for this and the main reasoning behind people hiring you to SEO write is to drive more links to their chosen website. These articles are usually not read by people and are mainly used to boost Google rankings for websites. It's not sexy work but it will allow me to build up a good habit of daily writing and will pay me some immediate money with each article paying between $5-$25 dollars on average.
Once I've established a way of making income from freelance SEO writing I will move my efforts onto content writing which can be a lot more lucrative. Content writing usually has a much higher demand for quality content and with this comes increased reward (depending on the content you are producing).
Here are some examples of types of content writing:
- Blog writing
- Ghost writing (this is where you write content for somebody but they take the credit for the writing, after paying you)
- Business content (for small businesses or start-ups)
- Periodicals and publications (think local newspaper that's now writing a blog online but needs content writers)
- E-books (produce the content for somebody else's great idea and get paid in the process)
- Lead Magnets (creating mini books + guides 5-10 pages long)
- Case Studies (telling stories in engaging ways for students or professionals)
The other reason that I'd love to be able to move onto content writing is that it's a much more reliable source of work, as you are often able to get retainer work if you do a good job i.e. somebody will ask you once a week or once a month to write content for them.
Although not something that I will be looking to freelance immediately, coaching is one of my passions in my current job. I love being able to help somebody achieve great results as it fills me personally with a great sense of achievement. What I hope to be able to do alongside my freelance writing is to be able to create a course designed to help people grow in different areas. I plan to offer one to one coaching to people in location independent professions to help them use sales and relationship building techniques to grow their own business.
The main areas I'd love to be able to coach people on are:
- Following their dreams and realizing how achievable they can be
- Helping people understand how to motivate and lead their team to get the best results
- Understanding the importance of building relationships and how it flows into everything we do
- How there's sales in everything we touch, and how understanding sales can help them grow their own business
I'm absolutely dying to start the course on 'How to be a coach' but I want to finish Sean Ogle's course before diving into a fresh project. (I'm trying to be a single-tasker nowadays instead of a multi-tasker so I get tasks done; I have a bad habit of starting something and never finishing it!)
I'd love to hear from any of you that have experience in coaching or freelance writing. Is there any advice in which you could share with me and other readers on the best way to get started and also the pitfalls that you can get caught out on when first starting?
Stay classy!

I Created A Little Makerspace To-Go.....It Even Includes A Makerspace Mobile Too!
On Monday and Tuesday of next week I have the honor of presenting to a variety of educators including administrators, teacher librarians, technology coordinators, and classroom teachers at the TIES Conference in Minneapolis. My presentations focus around makerspaces and the importance of the make movement and these spaces in education. By definition makerspaces are creative, DIY spaces where people can gather to create, invent, and learn. In libraries they often have 3D printers, software, electronics, craft and hardware supplies and tools, and more. I love seeing what my friends and others are doing with makerspaces. It was so much fun to create one in the library at Van Meter.

Please see below an update from the Village of Ossining Water Department. The Village of Ossining Water Department also supplies water to the Unincorporated Town of Ossining. Thank you to Water Superintendent Andy Tiess and Village Manager Karen D'Attore for working hard to develop solutions to this situation.
"In response to taste and odor issues, Ossining is now operating the Indian Brook Reservoir at 100% for our water supply. We will use this time period to design and implement a Powder Activated Carbon System to address this and similar issues in the future. In the interim, we will continue to use 100% Indian Brook as our water source while we continuously monitor reservoir levels. System demand is low this time of year, so it will take several days for the Croton Reservoir water already in the system to flush itself out. During this time, you may continue to detect taste and odor issues. However, within the next week or two, we anticipate significant improvements.
Recently we have been experiencing taste and odor issues with our water, described by residents as a musty taste and smell. It was determined by New York City that taste and odor issues stemmed from a specific organic compound 2-Methylisoborneol (MIB), produced by algae, detected in the Croton Reservoir, where Ossining draws most of its water from.
While Ossining and Westchester County continuously monitor water quality, we have been conducting additional tests under the guidance of Kirk Nowak, Ph.D., the leading expert in the country on taste and odor issues associated with potable water, to gain additional information and develop more effective strategies to address this issue. Today, we received results from Engineering Performance Solutions, an outside laboratory that specializes in testing algae that can cause taste and odor issues. It was found that the Croton water source had a result of 105.0 (ng/L) MIB, and Indian Brook had a result of <1.0 (ng/L) MIB. We immediately called the Westchester County Department of Health to get authorization to move to 100% Indian Brook as our source.
This condition has never been experienced during the 33 years of the water treatment plant operation. Further, this is not an Ossining-only issue. The taste and odor has affected all municipalities that draw from the Croton Reservoir. Despite the taste and odor, the water has been and remains safe to drink.
We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience. As we embark on the construction of a new water treatment facility, we will be working closely with experts to incorporate technologies needed to prevent this and similar issues in the future.
Please contact the Indian Brook Water Filtration Plant with any questions at 914-941-0128."
