You may have seen my post the other day, about smiling being contagious. I am in the middle of creating a contest related to smiling. My wish is that it will really make us all smile and laugh daily by being a part of the contest.
When my daughter was two she taught me just how positively contagious a smile could be. If she saw somebody frowning or sad she's just smile at them. Sometimes she would actually stare them down smiling until they smiled back. That was the moment that I realized just how amazing smiles were for our world and that everybody deserved to get as many smiles as possible.
I hope you all get a as excited about the contest as I am. I wll give you more details as I create them 🙂

Getting strong and building all kinds of freaky muscle isn't easy. You need to eat like starving man at every meal to make the kind of gains that will turn heads.
Make no mistake – your nutrition needs to be the biggest priority in order for you to recover as fast as possible to be able to train as much as possible. Quality calories and huge amounts of high-quality protein and carbs help your body repair and fuel performance in the gym. Like it or not, eating is just as important as training if you want to get results.
And therein lies the problem. Quality nutrition isn't cheap, and eating six meals or more each day certainly isn't cheap either.
If you're a student or a grad on a tight budget, it's still possible to make gains by getting the most from your money. We've compiled 12 tips and tricks for obtaining as much quality nutrition as possible on the cheap. Let the penny-pinching begin!
1. Get yourself a Sam's Club membership
The savings on the staples of a high-quality diet are substantial over the course of a year and will pay for the membership in the long run. And keep an eye out for their Instant Savings Book and stock up on food you need.
Plus, you can find MuscleTech® supplements there – including the best protein value in America – MuscleTech 100% Whey Protein Plus!
2. Stop eating out
Those $8.99 "value" meals at your local fast food restaurant are loaded with fat and cheap-quality proteins. The money you spent can buy you 20 lbs. of rice at your local Sam's Club. Remember: restaurant food, no matter how cheap, is always marked up higher than if you simply purchase the ingredients yourself. Put the effort in and cook your own food. Meal prep and cook a week's worth of meat, like chicken, in one shot. Refrigerate and you've got a healthy, musclebuilding meal at your fingertips.
3. Eat eggs!
They're not just for breakfast. Buy them in bulk and eat them as often as possible. With 5 to 6 grams of protein in each egg, they're one of most cost-effective proteins on a cost per gram basis. Plus, they're versatile. Scrambled, made into omelets with fresh veggies, or simply boiled and eaten on the go – eggs should be every bodybuilder's number one food.
4. Get the newspaper and shop the weekly sales circulars
Make the junk mail work for you. Don't rely on just one supermarket. Shop around each week and get what you need where the best deals are. Don't forget to price match!
5. Go for ground beef
It's not as pretty as a nice steak, but ground beef certainly gets the job done when it comes to building muscle on the cheap. It has 6 to 7 grams of protein per raw ounce, and you can buy it bulk at nearly every supermarket.
6. Hit up the local farmers markets
You'll likely find great deals on organic vegetables and sometimes even meats. Also, because most vendors at farmers' markets grow seasonal products, there is often a large surplus of certain products at certain times. If you are willing to purchase large quantities of surplus vegetables in peak season, you can save a considerable amount of money.
7. Learn to love canned fish
Canned tuna and salmon are two of the best foods you can eat if you want to build lean muscle. Not only are they loaded with protein, but they're cheap and rich in fish oils – which have numerous benefits for athletes.
8. Use MuscleTech Pro Series supplements
Yes, building muscle on a budget can include supplements. MuscleTech® Pro Series offers one of the best supplement values in America. From our great-tasting PHASE8™ protein to pre-workouts (NeuroCore®), musclebuilders (Clear Muscle®), aminos (MyoBuild® 4x) and testosterone support (AlphaTest®), the MuscleTech Pro Series combines clinically dosed, premium ingredients and incredible value. Don't just take our word for it, check out the full lineup and compare it to what you're taking now!
9. Supplement your protein shakes
Add in cost-effective foods to your protein shakes to add more calories and boost their protein content. Foods like peanut butter, cottage cheese and oats are inexpensive but add considerable musclebuilding calories and macronutrients.
10. Don't just count beans – eat them!
Pinto beans have a nice combination of protein and fiber, and are a delicious addition many musclebuilding meals. Also, if you're a big fan of refried beans, you'll be glad to hear they're easy to make at home – just mash up pinto beans with garlic and spices on the stove. Other beans, like black beans and chickpeas, are also cheap and add fiber and protein your diet.
11. Grow your own
Modern bodybuilders know the importance of greens – but in the absence of a local farmers' market, instead of buying pre-made salads in a bag, why not grow your own? For about the cost of a bag of salad greens ($3), you can buy a packet of seeds for mixed salad greens. The packets have 500 seeds and will plant a 30-foot long row of greens. Now we know you're not going to do this, especially if you're a student…but you get our point. Start by growing your own herbs and see where it goes from there.
12. Hit up the bulk bins
Visit your local bulk food store to stock up on spices. The cost per ounce is always cheaper and you'll be able to add some bold flavors to your foods without going over budget. You may also wish to check out almonds or other nuts to add protein, fiber and/or healthy fats to your diet while you're there.

What was the most valuable piece of career advice that you received?
"You have two ears and one mouth, use them in that ratio." It was one of the most salient pieces of advice from my first MD at a field marketing agency when I was an Account Executive. It has served me pretty well, but it is amazing how hard I still have to work on it!
At Virgin I was lucky enough to work with Richard Branson who taught me to move twice as fast as your competition and don't be afraid to fail.
What was the worst piece of career advice that you received?
"How about a career in banking?" I attended a management graduate day at a well-known building society and underwent around 15 rounds of interviews. By interview 10 we mutually agreed the job wasn't for me. I had a chat about the international rugby match that weekend instead and I got an early train home – my financial services career in joyful tatters.
What advice would you give someone starting their career in the tech industry?
Talk to everybody. Be curious. Throw yourself into everything with enthusiasm. Earn your stripes. Always treat others as you would like to be treated.
What tips would you give someone aiming for a c-suite level position?
If you are good enough then you are old enough. Age should not be a barrier to career progression to the C-Suite. That said – it does take time to learn what your strengths and weaknesses are. Once you get to c-suite level focus on the things that you do really well and bring in a strong team around you in areas where you are weaker.
Also, always remember you are there to not only run a business but to also nurture and aid others careers. Give back whenever you can.
Finally – don't forget to have fun. It is infectious for all those around you. The minute you stop enjoying it it's time to leave!
Are you particularly proud of any career advice that you've been given or the career route/development of anyone you've mentored?
I have mentored a few people during my career and I would hope that I have played a small part in helping them succeed both here in the UK and spreading their wings abroad with agencies in LA and NY. Respect, humility, honesty and a sense of enthusiasm are traits I hope I have passed on.

Campaigning for Compassion: 8 Essential Tips We Need Now
Two new books -- Compassion and Forgiveness -- from my Effortless Inspiration series debut tomorrow, and their release couldn't come at a better time. Whether you're into politics or not, you've probably witnessed the craziness surrounding the American presidential election this year. People on both sides are filled with anger and frustration and determination, and, while they have every right to feel as they want to feel and hold tight to the views they value, we could all stand for a bit more forgiveness and compassion in this race to the White House.
In particular, compassion (aka, the sympathetic awareness of others' distress paired with a desire to alleviate that pain) deserves a more prominent place in the rhetoric of this tumultuous time. When we feel passionately about our political stances (as so many of us do!), it can be a challenge to cultivate compassion. Political views quickly become personal, and our individual ideas and desires may make it tough to empathize with, and want to alleviate the pain of, those with opposing points of view. This, coupled with the others' hostility, anger, or even bullying, often pushes compassion to the back burner of our minds (and of the national political conversation).
Compassion means having empathy for, and a desire to help, someone who is in pain -- something most of have no trouble doing when witnessing a physical manifestation of pain we can label and understand. We have compassion when we see an overtired child throwing a tantrum, a legless veteran wheeling by with a service dog, a homeless mother asking for change on the street, or a heart-breaking image of children living in war-torn countries. But when someone's pain is invisible (or manifesting itself only in words), it can be much harder to access empathy and a desire to help, and gaining access to that compassion becomes even more challenging when another's beliefs differ sharply from our own or support ideas we believe are fundamentally wrong.
But compassion isn't defined as empathizing with and wanting to help those in pain who share your views. Compassion is about recognizing another's pain and desiring to alleviate it in some way, regardless of whether or not you agree with that person's beliefs. And, if you pay close attention to how people speak and act during the election (both the politicians and the citizens), you'll see that a lot of people are actually in a lot of pain. Why, instead of striving to alleviating this very obvious pain as we would if it were manifested physically, do so many of us seek instead to tear others down, to combat others with their own opinions rather than seeking to empathize in some way?
It's hard to be compassionate when we feel so strongly (as we should!) about the outcome of something like this upcoming election. Politics are important, and because the winner of the election can have a big impact on our lives, it's no wonder so many of us get personally and intensely invested in our beliefs. This is a good thing, that people care so much. Knowing what you believe in and having the freedom to defend your beliefs is one of the things that makes America so amazing. But defending what you believe in and having compassion for others who think differently are not mutually exclusive. You can be passionate and compassionate.
That idea isn't a novel one, but it sure doesn't seem to be represented very much in today's American political culture. When it comes to the word "compassion" in politics, it's mostly used to describe how candidates feel about the impoverished, ill, or mistreated. It's rarely, if ever, used (in a non-sarcastic way) to refer to those with opposing opinions. Attack ads, personal attacks during debates, and negative, hateful language perpetuated by strong-minded, vocal citizens who want nothing to do with those with opposing views are powerful -- and popular. Citizens have every right to share their views and opinions, but is it a requirement that they be shared without a single ounce of compassion for another's perspective in order to be valid?
Here's what I think: I think we need more compassion for one another. I get why people attack each other (it's been proven to be effective in advertisements and, if we're honest, it's so much easier to judge others instead of focusing on our own -- or our preferred candidate's -- flaws), but imagine what it would be like if campaigns weren't designed to hurt and shame others? What if, instead, we used our words and logic to dismantle others' arguments, rather than adding to the pain they're likely to be experiencing? (Because, let's face it -- being a human is pretty hard for all of us.)
Compassion for those you dislike or disagree with is arduous, but the rewards for putting in the work are incredibly worthwhile. Not only does compassion make arguments and political discussions more pleasant for others, but you also gain a lot of love, kindness, and respect for yourself when you chose compassion over indifference or meanness. Additionally, I've found that compassion generally makes relationships, interactions, and life as a whole more enjoyable. Here are some ways to cultivate compassion with those around you (regardless of their political beliefs) in this intense environment:
- Amend your attitude to the opposition.
The first step for creating compassion in any situation is being open to compassionate thoughts. If you're automatically thinking, I could never discuss politics with someone voting for Trump! or If that person is on Clinton's side, I can't even begin to relate!, you're already starting off with a lack of empathy and understanding. Yes, you might have completely different views from someone else and be very certain about where you stand on certain issues, but that doesn't mean you have to go into an interaction with a closed mind. (Also: keep in mind that not everything has to be black-or-white; more than you might think falls into gray areas when you keep your mind open.) Being open to having compassion for others (especially for those you disagree with) is absolutely necessary for cultivating compassion.
- Debate (and think!) with kindness.
Once you have an open-minded, compassion-focused attitude in place, the next essential tip for compassion is thinking and speaking with kindness and understanding. Depending on how passionate you are about a topic (and your personality), this can be a challenge sometimes, but practice really does help. Before you speak, pause for a moment and use the questions from the THINK concept: Is it TRUE? is it HELPFUL? Is it INSPIRING? Is it NECESSARY? Is it KIND? Imagine if every politician and vocal citizen considered those things before speaking / tweeting / etc.! Keep in mind that kindness is not weakness. You can make powerful, provocative arguments while still being compassionate and considerate of others.
- Campaign for common ground.
You're not going to agree on everything with most people, but don't write off the power of common ground. At the most basic level, you're both humans and should treat each other as such. Just because you have differing political, moral, or ethical beliefs doesn't mean that, at the heart of things, you're not really aiming for the same life goal: to enjoy a happy, well-lived life for yourself and those you care about in an environment in which you feel valued, safe, and empowered. Envision, for a moment, what the current campaign would be like if Clinton and Trump focused on things they had in common. Doing so wouldn't mean that they didn't have (or couldn't openly discuss) differences, but it would bring to their campaigns a humanity that currently seems to be lacking.
- Fact-check your assumptions.
One of the greatest roadblocks for experiencing compassion is making assumptions about others. Most of the time when we see someone who is hurting, we feel empathy and, as a result of that empathy, we often want to help them. What typically stands in the way of either of these steps (empathizing and helping) is assuming that (a) they don't need help or (b) they don't want help. When you find it difficult to cultivate compassion for someone, ask yourself why. What is it about this person that causes you to feel or think a certain way? What assumptions might you be making without checking if they are absolute fact? Even if you don't ultimately reject your assumptions, it's important to take note of them and assess whether they are, in fact, valid. (PS: don't beat yourself up for having assumptions; it's human nature to do so, but a truly evolved, intelligent human knows to look for and assess the validity of those assumptions.)
- Lobby for (and treat others with) respect.
Compassion for others also encompasses compassion for yourself. Whether you're involved in a heated political debate or simply engaged in an everyday interaction, it's essential to make sure others respect you. And, just as importantly, to make sure you're respecting others. When things get particularly intense (especially in politics!), respectfulness can be thrown out the window. This, as I'm sure you've seen, never leads to anything positive and it doesn't have to be this way. As with kindness, it's important to remember that you can have a completely different point of view (and argue it) without being disrespectful to someone else. Treating others with respect (and asking that they do the same in return) is an essential aspect of compassionate interaction, and one that often gets ignored when it comes to heated debates. For so long respect for the opposition hasn't been a part of politics so it almost seems as if you have to treat the opposition with distain or disregard, but those two things are not essential for intelligent, thought-provoking conversations.
- Pledge to focus on forgiveness.
Unless you're some kind of amazing miracle superhuman, you've probably made a mistake or two in your life. We all make mistakes. Obviously some mistakes are made on a much grander, and more impactful, level than others, but consider what might happen if you forgave the mistakes of others (even the really gigantic ones committed by politicians). Forgiving another's mistake doesn't mean you condone or accept that behavior; instead, it sets you free from clinging to hate, resentment, and anger (things that can definitely get in the way of you making valid, logical arguments for your beliefs). Forgiveness isn't about setting others free from blame; it's about freeing yourself from painful emotions. Allowing yourself this freedom will make it much easier to cultivate compassion for those you feel have wronged you (or your country), and will allow you to be more clearheaded and logical when discussing the wrongdoing with others.
- Veto all acts of hate and bullying.
Along with choosing to focus on kindness and respect, it's also important to reject hate and bullying (for compassion and for life in general). Spend a few minutes on Twitter and you'll have a hard time finding strong political commentary that doesn't, in some way, come from a negative place. Perhaps it's always been this way, but it seems like people spend way more time hating the opposing side than they do loving their own side. If you're trying to make an intelligent argument, you're never going to convince people with hate speech or by bullying them into believing your ideas. Compassionate interactions -- even among people with completely different views -- never, ever include malice or mean-spirited manipulation. It's cliche but true: two wrongs don't make a right. Even if someone else being hateful, you'll have a hard time experiencing compassion for that person if you fight hate with hate.
- Elect to expand your perspective.
A narrow viewpoint is one that quickly gets in the way of compassion. If you're struggling to have compassion for one of the presidential candidates, for example, it's often because you're focusing on what s/he is saying or doing right now. To cultivate more compassion, try taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture. When someone says or does something that conflicts with your worldview, instead of immediately getting angry or defensive, pause and ask yourself why s/he might have done that. The question why should be asked a lot more often; it helps us uncover things about people, ourselves, and the world around us that we might not have considered before. When you encounter an idea or action that seems crazy to you, ask yourself, Why might that person feel that way, have that point of view, or made that choice? You might not always arrive at an answer, but you'll find it easier to channel compassion. (If you struggle with this step, I highly recommend checking out the movie 13TH. It's an amazing film and is a perfect example of why looking at the big picture is so essential.)
Compassion, wonderful as it is, requires hard work sometimes. When you're struggling with it, know that you're not alone, and try to remember, above all else, that we're all in this together. Regardless of who wins this presidential election, we're all here on this same planet trying, as best we can, to make the most of our lives. You may never fully understand another's point of view, choices, or voting preference, but that does not mean you cannot have compassion for him or her. If you find it especially hard, just for today, try your absolute hardest to imagine what it might be to have a belief completely different from your own and envision the world from someone else's perspective.
Looking to be inspired to cultivate more compassion and forgiveness in your life? Check out the two new books in the Effortless Inspiration series below!
Compassion is the ability to feel sympathetic towards those who are suffering while desiring to relieve their pain. Imagine what the world would be like if we all experienced compassion on a daily basis!
Recent scientific research has shown that compassionate people tend to be more understanding, less angry, and less stressed than other people, with stronger relationships and even enhanced immune systems. People who live with compassion or show concern for others' wellbeing also tend to create a more harmonious atmosphere around them. Compassion breeds compassion, leading to more contentment.
This little book, with its modern take on the subject and uplifting inspiration, brings light to a life-changing subject that will appeal to readers around the world. Grab your copy here!
To forgive is to be free. Forgiveness is one of life's great challenges; it is so difficult to let go of anger and pain once you've been hurt. But people who forgive both themselves and others tend to feel more relaxed and open, have less risk of getting stressed or depressed, and experience stronger relationships.
Holding on to past resentments and negative energy tends to cause painful memories to fester in our subconscious, which prevents us from moving forward with joy in life. Learning forgiveness allows us to move on, to create more peace in our lives, and to release ourselves from re-experiencing painful moments.
Tucked within the pages of this book, readers will find insights and inspiration for letting go of pain, cultivating a forgiving heart, and ultimately finding a deeper sense of awareness and peace. Grab your copy here!

"They say if you want to meet someone special, that you should do the things that you love the most i.e. travel. This increases the chances that you will connect with someone who shares the same passions as you.
That was true for me when I (Australian) met my boyfriend Max (Argentinian) while we were both backpacking Europe solo. It was on a walking tour in Vilnius, Lithuania that we started talking. We were both in the city only for one day but ended up spending it together.
It took more than just our chance meeting and instant spark for us to be where we are now. Both of us had to overcome our fears and take risks to be together. It was Max taking a chance to ask me to lunch, then us deciding to spend the rest of the day together, exchanging contacts, and keeping in touch even though we didn't even know if we would see each other again. I invited Max to visit me in my little city in the north of Spain – some of my friends thought I was crazy. And we were both so nervous and scared that it would all end in disaster.
But that summer was magical, and just a few weeks later we were both in the Canary Islands. Since then we have traveled together to 10 different countries across 4 continents!
We are both grateful we took that fateful walking tour and more so that we were brave enough to take risks for an even bigger reward.
Being open to new experiences can be scary but when you push past your normal point of comfort, it can lead to something incredible."

Please find below the list of business opportunities related to this sector. For further information, please contact us.
Health tourism is emerging in Europe but is strongly developed in the US. In both cases it arises because part of the population cannot access fully or partially certain treatments in their countries and prefer to hire cheaper treatment outside its borders. The ageing of the baby boom generation on the main markets in Spain, together with its need to consume quality health services at a reasonable cost and good tourist complementary services make Spain a favourite destination.
The age of healthcare technology, mainly in material diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of patients, gives rise to the opportunity to upgrade production facilities and renew equipment which has become obsolete. A key opportunity for foreign companies to come to manufacture and market their products, equipment, devices, etc. in Spain and supply the nearly 800 hospitals that make up the National Health System.
Personalised medicine is a set of scientific fields comprising epigenetics (the study of how environmental factors cause diseases like cancer or Alzheimer's) and pharmacogenomics (the study of the effect of an individual's genetic variability in their response to certain drugs). The application of pharmacogenomics in the health system could help reduce total costs in the medium term, mainly by reducing the costs associated with the administration of drugs, especially in oncological diseases. The diseases with the larger business opportunity for development of early diagnosis and treatments in medicine are haematology (e.g. transplant immunology and malignancies of lymphoid tissues) and oncology (the most common among the population: breast, colon and lung).
Between 2015 and 2019, twelve patents of the best-selling biological drugs in the world will expire. These biopharmaceuticals treat key diseases such as cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis and are among the most important in terms of cost for health systems as they are among the ten most expensive drugs in the world, and mainly in Europe. In fact this market, of the twelve main products lose their patents in the coming years, is worth about 1.3 million euros in Spain. This "patent cliff", as it known in the industry, along with the appeal of the Spanish market, favour the entry of a new generation of biosimilars.
This consists of generating energy, biofuels (bioethanol and biodiesel), biopolymers and basic chemicals using mechanical, thermal, chemical or biochemical processes from biomass from agricultural, agro-industrial waste and municipal solid waste. The opportunity is in the industrial scaling link The strength of the previous link ensures the number of projects with the potential to scale industrially. The "research" link is the one that concentrates most of the activity of the value chain in the generation of research. The proofs of concept, although relatively expensive, are becoming more viable due to the appearance of pilot scale plants such as the CLaMber project in Castilla-La Mancha.

November 1999 0-9668184-1-5
Cover art by Paul Swenson
Our very first story collection! ZOM BEE MOO VEE is a chapbook of stories about movies and TV programs . . . but you've never seen these shows. They do not exist. There is no foreign movie called Oh, But You Will. No Christmas special called Santa's Elves Meet Painsettia Plont. No Fifties sitcom called The Little Perky Show, sponsored by Koala Kough Syrup. No bedroom comedy called Grandmama's Naughty Perfume. And there has never, ever been a horror film called ZOM BEE MOO VEE. Until now . . .
"Pure twisted delight! Mark McLaughlin, like so many of us, has clearly seen far too many cheap movies and TV shows. But unlike the rest of us, he's able to mix them with originality and very dark humor to concoct a real treat for horror fans. Zom Bee Moo Vee is a hell of a show!"
—Don D'Auria, Leisure Books
"Mark McLaughlin's prose never disappoints. It might shock, dismay, puzzle, leave you rolling out of your seat laughing or sitting back in amazement, but it never disappoints. The collection Zom Bee Moo Vee is a unique, one-of-a-kind romp through TV and movielands that never were (thankfully), playing on emotions and memories, asking "what if" questions you don't want the answers to, and yet... you gotta know. Truly one of the most creative, poetic minds of modern literature."
—David Niall Wilson, author of Maelstrom
"Momma wouldn't want you to read this. Your priest would urge you to tear it to shreds. And if that isn't a recommendation for you to sit down and devour this from cover to cover I don't know what is. McLaughlin is HOT! If your palette is jaded, come to the feast that is Mark McLaughlin... here are massive helpings of grisly horror, black humour and surreal splendour. Hugely satisfying, but I guarantee you'll beg for more."
—Simon Clark, author of On Deadly Ground

homes for sale
Almost no homes for sale in Surmont, Belwood and Belgatos right now
Los Gatos housing inventory may well be at an all time low. For other blogs, I crunch the real estate numbers regularly and can tell you that in the last 15 years (for which I can get MLS statistics) there've never been so few available homes to buy. I've been selling real estate for 20 years now and don't remember it ever being so dire. In fact, the worst year ever still had twice as many houses for sale as what we've got now.
The available inventory in Los Gatos, and Santa Clara County generally, is inching up. The numbers have risen about 25% from a couple of months ago, but are off between 30% and 65% from the year before, depending on how you slice and dice the numbers. In our lovely corner of east Los Gatos, right now there are only 2 homes for sale, one on Blossom Hill and one on a side street at the corner of Blossom Hill. Last year there were 13 sales in the neighborhood, and in 2011 there were 17. We could use more inventory!
If you are thinking of selling in 2013, now is a great time. There's little competition and a very strong level of buyer demand. Please call me for a free, no obligation, no pressure consultation. Please email me at mary (at) popehandy.com or call me at 408 204-7673.

Los Gatos Real Estate Market Trends and Statistics
Is that east Los Gatos home nicely remodeled or simply flipped?
Want to buy a house in the Los Gatos neighborhoods of Belwood, Belgatos or Surmont? There are a few things you should know about properties that look "turnkey", especially as the market heats up or inventory more available.
Home sellers who quickly improve houses for a fast profit, rather than for enjoying the house for their own use, often cut corners. Whether it's owners doing a quick makeover or investors remodeling or improving select items, beware! Some of these properties give the impression of being "perfect" but in fact may only have been cleaned up in the most visible areas.
Here are some questions for you to ask or investigate when looking at homes for sale in east Los Gatos, particularly near the foothills :
- Owners or sellers who prepare the home for the maximum return on investment will probably add fresh paint & carpet (or pull up the carpet to expose the hardwood floors), swap out light fixtures, door and drawer or cabinet hardware, and tidy the front landscaping. But what about expensive but less seen areas such as
- the electrical system
- furnace (heater)
- water heater
- roof, gutters & downspouts
- drainage system (often needed, seldom there)
- back yard landscaping
- the foundation (always a potential issue in our east Los Gatos neighborhood if drainage hasn't been properly addressed)
- insulation
- plumbing – has the home been re-piped, or are the old galvanized steel pipes still in the walls and under the house, ready to give up the ghost?
- condition of retaining walls, if any
- condition of concrete or hardscape
- large trees – have they been trimmed, or are they an expense which will fall on you?
- Is this an investment property (purchased by investors at a foreclosure auction or as a distress sale)? Or is it a trustee sale where the family or friends inheriting the property are fixing it up for sale (almost like a flipped house)?
- If it's a house being sold by investors who've fixed it up, how experienced are they? Some clients of mine purchased an out-of-area house from first time investors. The kitchen remodel was made such that a full size fridge wouldn't fit. Fail!(Some trustee sales are in a similar category as first time investors – this isn't something they have experience with, most likely. They may make costly mistakes by either over-improving the home for sale or not fixing the right things. They may or may not be local and have a true sense of market value, too, so may set themselves up with unrealistic expectations.)
- Were there pre-sale inspections? If so, did the owners or investors do the Section 1 work from the termite report and the health & safety issues called out in the home inspection? The home inspection (not the termite or pest) should flag any major issues with the foundation, electrical, mechanical etc. systems in the home. If there's no home inspection, prepare for surprises in these older homes.
- In Surmont, Belgatos, Belwood, and all of the east Los Gatos, Cambrian and Almaden hillside areas, water and drainage is an issue, as mentioned above regarding foundations. Left unchecked, water seeps into the crawl spaces under the houses and can create real havoc as our clay soil expands and pushes on the foundation. So look at the downspouts and see if they simply dump the water at the base of the house (which you will see most of the time – but it's not a good idea, usually), or did the owner take the time and spend the money to handle drainage issues well? How's the grading? Soil and landscaping should slope away from the house so that any water coming down will run away rather than seep into the crawlspace.
Browse neighborhood homes for sale online on this site. When you visit in person, bring a notepad and jot down concerns or questions. It is so easy to fall in love with remodeling that's been done that it may be easy to miss the expensive items not easily seen that may have been ignored.
Need a good, local Realtor? Call or email me. I've been in real estate a long time (since early 1993), am very accomplished and recently was named "best real estate agent in Silicon Valley" by readers of the San Jose Mercury News. I'm also a Belwood resident and I know the area and its values well.
Some Good Value & Opportunity in Surmont
Normally I don't blog about other people's listings, and never do it without permission, so the info below is shared with the consent of the listing agent.
Yesterday I stopped into an open house in the Surmont area of east Los Gatos when I was driving home to neighboring Belwood. I suppose it's like a "bus driver's holiday" but I love to keep a pulse on the market so like viewing homes…even on my days off.
The house at 115 Old Orchard Drive, Los Gatos seems to be a good value. It offers 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, about 2150 square feet, nice looking pool in back, single story and is priced at $975,000. The home is somewhat updated, but not fully remodeled. Perhaps best of all, it's got a fabulous location on a beautiful street.
For more information, c;heck out the virtual tour:
This one seems priced on the money, so if you've been wanting to live in this beautiful part of Los Gatos, don't wait!

Four Belwood Homes for Sale
Not an April Fool's Day joke – two more homes came on the market this week, so now the total is up to four available in Belwood. (For the skinny on them, visit the Homes Info section of this site.) It makes three on Belridge in the last month!
The range in Belwood homes now is from $1,099,000 for a small (1744 sf) home to $1,729,000 for an extremely large one. And… Rumor is that a 1400 SF home will be offered on the market for $1,100,000 soon. (That does not appear to be in line with "market value" but we'll see what happens.) There is slight upward pressure on pricing BUT it remains true that most homes are still not selling in Los Gatos.

Move over, Cheryl - Mossy wants to work with the X Factor wannabe
Kate Moss is an inspiration to some of the biggest names in fashion, including Roberto Cavalli and Calvin Klein, but it seems she's found a muse all of her very own.
The 36-year-old supermodel's fascinated with Cher Lloyd and is desperate to find a way to work with the teeny star.
X Factor fan Kate's told friends she loves Cher's individuality, sound and attitude and thinks she has what it takes to make it in the music or fashion industry, whether she wins the show or not.
'Cher reminds Kate of herself when she was younger,' reveals our source.
'Cher's got a swagger like she knows everything but the fact is she's a kid and has a lot to learn. Kate's impressed by her vibe and says she has a great sense of style and personality.'
While Croydon-born Kate – who's good mates with Simon Cowell – doesn't have a specific idea in mind, she's looking out for a project she can work on with Cher, 17, in the future.
'She's waiting until the show finishes but she's spoken to a few fashion experts about it and they've all agreed Cher could be one to watch in the industry in the next few years,' says our mole.
'Kate thinks that if Cher plays her cards right she could have her choice of campaigns to front as well as a singing career.'

Alabama Army Ammunition Plant (ALAAP)
The Alabama Army Ammunition Plant (ALAAP) is situated in Talladega County, Alabama, about 4 miles north of Childersburg, Alabama. Although the facility originally consisted of 13,233 acres, after several land transactions, 2,187 acres remain the responsibility of the U.S. government. The ALAAP site is bounded to the north and northeast by Little Blue Creek and an undeveloped wooded area, to the south and southeast by the Talladega Creek and a mixture of agricultural and residential areas, and to the west and northwest by the Coosa River. Currently, the site consists of paved roads, logging roads, railroad tracks, and bridges. Most of the buildings have been destroyed and the land is overgrown with dense vegetation.
ALAAP was established in 1941 to produce nitrocellulose (NC), single-base smokeless powder, and nitroaromatic explosives (e.g., 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene [TNT], 2,4-dinitrotoluene [2,4-DNT], 2,6-dinitrotoluene [2,6-DNT], and tetryl). The E.I. DuPont Company operated the facility as a government-owned, contractor-operated facility during World War II. Peak monthly production consisted of 15.6 million pounds of NC, 21.8 million pounds of TNT, and 2.4 million pounds of tetryl. The plant also produced chemical intermediates, including sulfuric and nitric acids, aniline, diphenylamine (DPA), oleum, and sellite. In 1945, the government placed the facility on standby status.
Between 1947 and the 1970s, site property was periodically sold or leased to private holders. The Tennessee Copper Corporation leased the acid plant between 1947 and 1966 for manufacturing acids and organic compounds, and the Beaunit Corporation leased a property north of the site for manufacturing rayon. During this time, the Army also initiated programs to improve conditions in selected manufacturing areas. In the mid-1950s, the government and the Liberty Powder Defense Corporation launched a site rehabilitation program. Approximately 75% of the rehabilitation had been addressed when limited funds prevented completion of the program. In 1973, the Army conducted a controlled burning program to destroy chemical and explosive manufacturing buildings and explosive residues. In the same year, the Army released all but 1,620 contaminated acres of the site to the General Services Administration (GSA) for coordination of sale activities.
In 1977, the Army sold an uncontaminated 1,354-acre parcel containing the NC manufacturing area, the smokeless powder manufacturing area, and 247 associated buildings to Kimberly-Clark, Inc, but they leased back 272 acres to remove equipment from the premises and decontaminate the property. By 1985, the Army had divided the remaining property into Area A, consisting of the eastern portion of the site used primarily for storing and shipping finished explosives and a parcel of woodland outside the site security fence, and Area B, consisting of the former manufacturing area

Posted by Pets Best on 10/17/2008 in General Articles
Owning a dog is a big responsibility, and having to train your dog to stay outside can be difficult at times. Many people decide to invest in invisible fencing, thinking that this is the best solution to keeping their dog contained. However, it is wise to research the long term health effects of invisible fencing on dogs before you decide to invest the money, time, and energy into buying one.
Invisible fencing works by burying a wire around your yard, typically where you would install a traditional fence. You then attach a special collar around your dog's neck, and when he or she crosses the "invisible" line of the fence, they receive a shock. Many advocates of this type of training call it a "simple static electric shock." Unfortunately, this is not always true. There have been people who have tried the collars on themselves, crossed the line, taken the shock and then realized that it is painful enough to cause limping, tingling and even nausea for hours afterwards. Different dogs can take different amounts of pain, so a shock that may be mild to one dog can be quite painful to another.
Long term health effects of invisible fencing can vary. For one, many dogs are so upset by the shock that they start to refuse to come outside. They are so scared of being shocked that they become languid, refusing to leave the house and cowering inside at times. Dogs may begin to live in fear that they will be electrocuted for normal behaviors. This can cause health problems gradually as the dog may become lazier and gain weight from lack of exercise, simply because they are too scared to venture outside. Psychological stress to a dog being trained with an invisible fence is very real indeed, and a problem that can lead to health problems later. These can include aggression and panicked behavior.
Some dogs simply do not respond to an invisible fence. Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers are two breeds that have a high tolerance for pain. That being said, these breeds may not be stopped by the shock that an electric fence will give them and charge through it anyway. Repeated shocks to a dog can lead to changes in the dog's system, such as the heart and respiration rate. It can also lead to gastrointestinal disorders and long term urinary problems.
Another long term health problem that can develop is the possibility of seizures. While there are still many disagreements over whether an invisible fence and the ensuing shock actually causes seizures, dogs that are epileptic may suffer a seizure if shocked. Dogs that have severe skin issues or sensitive skin can also suffer long term health effects from the use of an invisible fence since the collar must be worn outside at all times. There may also be prongs on the collar that have to be in close contact with skin, and these can cause long term irritations to the skin around the neck of many sensitive dogs.
Because the health effects of invisible fences can be unpredictable, be sure to monitor your dog's health and behavior to determine whether or not an invisible fence is right for your dog.

New Delhi: Nearly a month after UK Parliament discussed a resolution on Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday drew the attention of British MPs to terrorism, extremism and radicalisation and urged them to raise a collective voice against these problems.
Hosting an eight-member delegation of British Parliamentarians in New Delhi, he described India and UK as natural partners in the global fight against terrorism. He urged the visiting Parliamentarians to "continue to raise their collective voice against terrorism, extremism and radicalization," the PMO said in a statement.
The Prime Minister's emphasis on terrorism during his interaction with British MPs assumes significance as the UK Parliament had discussed on January 20 a resolution on Kashmir in the context of "escalation of violence and breaches of international human rights"
The resolution had called on "the (British) government to encourage Pakistan and India to commence peace negotiations to establish a long-term solution on the future governance of Kashmir based on the right of the Kashmiri people to determine their own future in accordance with the provisions of UN Security Council resolutions."
India has been maintaining that cross-border terrorism, emanating from Pakistan and territories held by it, is blocking any resolution of the Kashmir issue and holding up talks between the two countries. While interacting with the visiting delegation, the Prime Minister said the relations between India and UK have strong bipartisan support in both countries.
He called for enhanced interactions between the Parliamentarians of both countries, the statement said. PM Modi fondly recalled his own visit to the UK in November 2015, and the visit of Prime Minister Theresa May to India in November last year. He also welcomed the celebration of 2017 as the India-UK Year of Culture.

Proactive Medicine: Reflections from Madinah
As a community, our focus on treatment comes primarily at the point a patient becomes ill. Few of us take precautions to look after ourselves to prevent illness from occurring; often delaying any change in diet, exercise or routines till after symptoms arise. This attitude to healthcare extends to the field of ethics, an area severely underdeveloped but desperately needed within the Muslim community in the UK.
This phenomenon is not restricted to the UK, but can be found within any country with a Muslim population. On 9th November 2014, the CIM were invited to attend a conference in Madinah entitled 'Meet the Healthcare Leaders', organised by the Madinah Institute for Leadership and Entrepreneurship (MILE), following which we were invited to present our work at one of the leading hospitals in Madinah.

Qingming Festival (also known as Pure Brightness Festival or Tomb-Sweeping Day) falls on either April 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar, and is one of the Chinese 24 Solar Terms. From that date temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, indicating that it is the crucial time for plowing and sowing in the spring. The festival therefore has a close relationship with agriculture. However, it's not simply a seasonal symbol; it's also a day of paying respect to the dead and enjoying a spring outing.
Traditional Customs
Qingming Festival involves various activities, including tomb sweeping, a spring outing, and flying kites. In the past, locals would practice customs such as wearing willow branches on the head and riding on swings as the festival is a combination of celebrating happiness and honoring the departed.

"Cougar Mania" celebrates our 9th Anniversary! You see, 9 years ago Christine and I both started blogging at the same time! I saw Christine's blog and bravely and fatefully asked if she would like to see my blog. She did. We became blogging friends and correspondents, and more!
"Cougar Mania" was an early post I wrote where Christine wrote her first comment. She was my only follower and hers was my only comment! I backed up the old blog before deleting it, so it is only on my computer. Reading this again, seems like only yesterday that I wrote the post.

The Financial Times daily has just released the list of 100 best master in management programs, chosen from 13,500 business universities in the world. Among them, there is Kozminski University. We took 42nd place.
The Financial Times daily has just released the list of 100 best master in management programs, chosen from 13,500 business universities in the world. Among them, there are two universities from Poland: Kozminski University, which took 42nd place and the Warsaw School of Economics, which came in 58th position, and also 5 other business schools from Central and Eastern Europe.
The Financial Times' educational rankings are based on its own surveys carried out among graduates who finished schools three years ago. Four years ago, KU was left by an exceptionally successful year, and graduates' professional careers, measured by salaries and promotions, allowed the university to jump to the high 20th position in the "FT" ranking. In previous editions of this ranking, KU took 42nd place, as this year, so KU has just returned to its former spot.
- Our position shows that we can be ranked higher and fight for a better place in the rankings, but we must try harder and constantly spur the professional ambitions of our students – says prof. Witold Bielecki, rector of KU. ¬ Being recognized as the best university educating in the field of management in Poland is certainly flattering, but it should not fully satisfy us, because the management education is really a global phenomenon today. People from 70 countries come to study here, half of our management students are foreigners. They can choose any university in the world. The choice of KU is largely determined by our high position in this ranking, but also by the good quality of life in Warsaw compared to other academic cities in Europe.
Among the 17 evaluation criteria assessed by FT, one of the key factors is progress in the professional careers of graduates. In this respect, ALK fares very well taking 7th place in the world.
In addition there are also KU's foreign partners. For examples KU runs a program implemented jointly with ESCP Europe which took 5th place in the ranking.

About Yoshitomo Nara's sculptures
Yoshitomo Nara's large fiberglass sculptures are usually glossy white and resemble komainu, mythical lion-like animal statues commonly placed at the entrance to shrines in Japan as guardians. The artist who often uses dogs and children as subjects in his work sometimes combines both, like in his work White Ghost.
About Yoshitomo Nara
Since the Japanese pop movement in the 1990s, Yoshitomo Nara has received international acclaim with his distinct figurative style. His drawings, paintings and sculptures can be seen in the permanent collections at MOMA, New York, CAC Malaga, Spain, Queensland Art Gallery, Australia and his largest sculpture, a 27' high concrete dog is permanently installed at the Aomori Art Museum, Japan. His mixture of vulnerability, rebellion and hopefulness within his artworks connects intimately with people worldwide. Nara also shares a deep connection with his fans and is always finding creative ways to interact with the public.
Selected works

During the warm summer months in Kentucky, your air conditioning is working hard, but it can only do so much. Having proper insulation to seal and provide relief to your home can go a long way in making the cool air blowing in actually feel like it's reducing the indoor temperatures.
Your roof takes a lot of heat–literally–in warmer months, and if your home is not equipped with proper insulation, that heat will translate to reduced comfort indoors. By properly sealing and insulating your home's walls, attic, doors, and windows, you can waste less of that cooled air that you're paying a pretty penny for, and even naturally provide more of a barrier between your family and the humid temps outside.
Benefits of Home Insulation:
- Improved humidity control
- Less pollutants–such as dust, inspects, and pollen–entering your home
- Reduced instances of ice dams in snowy conditions
- Reduced noise from outdoors / less noise pollution
- Utility bills are lowered
Energy Star estimates that all the holes and gaps in an average home would equate to the energy loss of having a window open every day of the year!
Don't spend another summer dealing with warm interiors and increased energy bills. Let's our team of experienced roofing and insulation professionals evaluate your home and talk about your insulation options. With choices like blown-in, spray, and traditional batts, we can customize a solution that will provide the greatest impact for your family, and help you get through the summer without breaking a sweat!

Press Releases
Members of Congress Announce Support for National Park Restoration Act
Posted on March 28, 2018
WASHINGTON, March 28, 2018 – A bipartisan group of eight senators and two representatives today announced support from outdoor and recreation organizations for legislation they introduced on March 7, the National Park Restoration Act, that will help restore and rebuild our national parks by helping pay for the $11 billion National Park maintenance backlog – which includes buildings, campgrounds, trails and water systems.
Pew Charitable Trusts: "Introduction of another park maintenance bill shows Congress is listening to the thousands of voices calling on them to #FixOurParks. Thanks to Representatives Mike Simpson and Kurt Schrader and Senators Alexander, King and Heinrich."
Outdoor Industry Association: "OIA applauds the continued efforts to solve the National Park Service backlog issue. As we know, and the support for bills like National Park Restoration Act shows, the health and vitality of America's public lands system is a bipartisan issue that unites us. We look forward to progress on the issue and appreciate the Senate and House Bill Sponsors' attention to this critical infrastructure issue that supports the growing $887 billion outdoor recreation economy."
Outdoor Recreation Roundtable: "Thank you for your leadership in developing the National Park Restoration Act, an important effort to overcome the more than $11 billion backlog in maintenance in our national parks. Roads, buildings, trails, campgrounds, water systems and more suffer from this accumulated problem – and visitor safety and enjoyment of our parks natural and historic resources are very real concerns. Without a new and extraordinary effort, the backlog cannot be eliminated. The backlog is nearly four times the annual appropriations of the National Park Service. While we do believe that steps can and should be taken to avoid further growth in this backlog, the national parks cannot return to sound condition without efforts like you are proposing."
The Corps Network: "The Corps Network is appreciative of this timely effort to help address the National Park Service maintenance backlog and applaud introduction of the bicameral National Park Restoration Act. Our Corps across the country help support parks, and other public lands maintenance needs, in order to maintain and expand access to recreation opportunities and productive fish and wildlife habitat. We welcome this legislation in contributing to the ongoing conversation of developing new solutions to address this important issue. Americans expect and deserve their public lands to be in a good condition when they visit, and we look forward to working with the sponsors, and other supporters of our parks and public lands, in moving forward a widely-supported solution to this problem."
Vista Outdoor: "National Parks are the backbone of the federal recreation system. For far too long, these treasures have not received the care and attention worthy of America's 'best idea.' …this bipartisan legislation to address the multi-billion dollar maintenance backlog is the type of action and leadership needed for the Parks to thrive for the next 100 years and beyond."
The National Park Restoration Act – bipartisan legislation introduced on March 7 by U.S. Senators Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Angus King (I-Maine), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) Joe Manchin (D- W.Va.), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Representatives Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) and Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.) – will use revenues from energy production on federal lands to help pay for the over $11 billion maintenance backlog in the National Park System. Representatives John Garamendi (D-Calif.), Colleen Hanabusa (D-Hawaii), and Will Hurd (R-Texas) are also cosponsors of the House version of the legislation.
The National Park Restoration Act:
- Creates the National Park Restoration Fund to provide mandatory funding for the high-priority deferred maintenance needs that support critical infrastructure and visitor services at our national parks.
- Provides mandatory funding for the maintenance backlog on top of annual appropriations for operations and construction at the National Park Service.
- The fund receives 50 percent of onshore and offshore revenues from energy production on federal lands over expected amounts that are not already allocated to other purposes.
- Protects payments to states, the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the Reclamation Fund, and all other existing uses of onshore and offshore revenues. These existing uses will receive all of their funding before the National Park Restoration Fund receives any funding.
The backlog of infrastructure projects at our national parks can limit access and impair visitor experiences and recreation opportunities, and without additional funding, the backlog could continue to grow. The National Park Service (NPS) maintenance backlog is nearly four times what NPS receives in annual appropriations. In Fiscal Year 2017 the NPS' deferred maintenance needs were $11.6 billion – that same fiscal year, NPS received $2.9 million in annual appropriations.
President Trump and Secretary Zinke have made addressing the growing maintenance backlog a top priority.

This was a good one.
James Lynch is an MMA journalist for Sportsnet, MMA Oddsbreaker and FloCombat. He hosts the Parting Shot Podcast and holds the (unofficial) record for most interviews ever conducted in a single week. I did very little research to verify that record, but he does a lot of interviews, so I'm running with it. He's also one of my favorite people in this business. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a fantastic conversation that ranges from Stanley Cup Playoffs and click-bait media to Big Little Lies and The Sopranos.

Solid pair of interviews featuring some talk about the GGG fight and UFC 210.
Matteo Urella shares an epic story of his relationship with writing and GGG. Everything came full circle this weekend at Madison Square Garden and it was as poetic as you'd expect from one of the best writers in combat sports.
At long last, Desmond Green is finally making his UFC debut. And the Rochester native is doing it just one hour from his hometown in Buffalo, NY. UFC 210 is set for April 8th and Desmond vs. Josh Everette could very well steal the show.
In this week's after show, we get into March Madness, the return of Dave Chappelle, and the official re-launch of our Instagram (@mmamadofficial) and our Snapchat (mma_mad).

UFC London is coming your way this weekend and we've got a full breakdown of the action.
First, we sat down with Andreas Georgiou of MMA Plus. He's an old friend of the show and one of the foremost experts on UK MMA. We spoke about his upcoming video project, the stand out fights at UFC London and more.
Then, one half of the main event, #4 ranked Jimi Manuwa makes his podcast debut. He's set to take on Corey Anderson this weekend, with hopes of moving one step closer to a shot at the light heavyweight championship.
Finally, my friend Nate Zielinski joins us for a little podcasting 101. After launching his own podcast for Ticket Liquidator, he's looking for advice on how to best move forward and improve the quality of his show. I'm certainly no expert, but I did my best to help out.
Plus we've even got a little Monica action on the transition. This was a fun one!!

Wow. 100 episodes. Over 140 hours of content over the past three years. This thing has come a long way since its humble beginnings and the guests in this episode are the people to thank.
(00:04:46) Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson made his podcast debut back in episode 28. This appearance was his tenth, officially making him the first to hit double digits. If there was an MMA Mad MVP, it'd be hard to argue against Wonderboy. The guy is a legend.
(00:18:33) If it wasn't for David St. Martin's inclusion of the MMA Mad Podcast on the MMA Fighting Morning Report, we may not be doing this right now. That was the single biggest boost we received both in traffic and notoriety. Who would've thought that DSM would make for such a great guest as well. The lovable grouch.
(00:51:47) Cortney Casey was the first female fighter we ever had on the podcast, but she's become way more than a crucial milestone. One of the most entertaining and frequently requested guest in our arsenal, Cortney is always honest and always entertaining, as a result. Truly one of the best guests we have.
(01:05:02) Barstool Sports finally has an designated MMA contributor and the guy is brilliant. Insightful blogs, hilarious videos, a well-rounded set of technical production skills, Robbie Fox is going to be a star at Barstool and Barstool has long been my biggest inspiration to chase my dreams. Thrilled to have him as a part of this episode.
(01:22:10) Nick Newell is one of my favorite people on the planet. There's the amazing career and the inspirational backstory, sure. But above all, he's one of the most kind and genuine people you'll ever come across in this business. He was my first ever one-on-one interview, as well. He'll always have a place in the history of this show.
(01:34:01) Matt Bessette and Jeff Haddad are my best friends in MMA. Far beyond a simple interviewer - interviewee relationship, these guys are always a ton of fun to be around. Jeff is one of the most driven and motivational people I know and Matt is the embodiment of martial arts culture. Respect, honor and discipline. GET MATT TO THE UFC!!! Shout out to Ashley and Michelle.
(1:47:32) Chuck Mindenhall is, for my money, the best writer in sports media. His ability to captivate with his storytelling while pouring his own personality and voice into his work is unparalleled. I've looked up to him on so many different levels, so to have him as a contact and guide through this crazy buiness has been an honor. Truly.
(02:03:25) Outside The Bubble was the first recurring segment we ever featured on this podcast and with it, a star was born. In all seriousness, Monica has meant a great deal to this show both on the mic and behind the scenes. She's been unbelievably supportive through an endless stream of skype conversations and marathon editing sessions. And she's electric content every time you put a mic in her hand. Can't thank her enough.
And I can't thank all of you enough either. This show has been one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Many more to come.
- Nick

3 Benefits Of Enrolling In An Inpatient Drug Rehab Center
The process of recovery from alcohol or drug addiction starts from that point where the addicted individual accepts that the progress of recovery will be commendable with the services from an inpatient drug rehab facility. To guarantee a long-term state-of-moderation, the person must have the willingness to engage in a treatment program, right from the early stages of addiction. As soon as you have admitted that there is a challenge, the next plan should be a concern "what to do next." With numerous treatment programs available, you don't have any excuse for receiving anything less than the best inpatient drug rehab program.
Benefits of Inpatient Drug Rehab
Getting yourself registered in a rehabilitation facility for inpatient is the best thing you can do for yourself at this stage. It allows you to start your recovery process properly. There are many benefits to enjoy after subscribing to an inpatient facility for rehabilitation. You will start experiencing these benefits from the early stage to the last stages of the program.
1) Physical Benefits
There are physical benefits that become obvious immediately after enrolling in a center for inpatient drug rehab. If an addicted person depends on alcohol or drug physically, stopping its consumption may likely result in withdrawal symptoms. In every good center for treating addiction, the first stage of treatment is usually centered on detoxification. This will automatically eliminate any risk of withdrawal as the patient is stopped from consuming to substance. This will increase the chances of progress drastically.
2) Psychological Benefits
In some of these inpatient rehab centers, there are many psychological therapies that clients enjoy. The wide range of treatment programs available will help in addressing the present stage of transition into abstinence. They monitor the drug history of a patient, and the try to promote total recovery in the future. There are many psychotherapy programs offered by good rehab facilities. This is because no two persons are ever the same, and individual circumstances will go a long way determining the style or type of treatment that will work for a person.
3) Emotional Benefits
Some specialists refer to this aspect as the mental or spiritual benefits because it all depends on the philosophy involved. The benefits to the mental health during this healing process isn't neglected. Although the physical aspect in drug dependency is a major variable, in addition, the emotional safety and the total peace of mind that they get after enrolling in inpatient drug rehab facilities is something that will go a long way in enhancing the speed of recovery and abstinence after the treatment.
Final note
Regarding getting the best recovery treatment for addiction, there's a need to consider an inpatient drug rehab program. These programs have proven to be the most efficient and successful options available for fast recovery. You cannot afford to engage in anything less than the best program for recovery considering the high odds involved. The is especially true when the addiction affects you or someone dear to you. Take your time and review the feedback from other patients undergoing recovery or those who have successfully recovered to aid your decision.

LIA LOOKS: Sailor Inspired LookFriday, February 12, 2016
TGIF! Alhamdullillah, by the grace of Allah SWT that we still get to meet another Friday, Jumuah Mubarak sisters! Here's one of my outfit inspirations that would prolly be suitable for your Friday activities.
This time around, I wanted to wear something classic and simple, inspired by the sailor look trend. Like black and white, stripes, matching bag and shoes. The main point of sailor look is a pop of red color, so, in order to make it happen, I put on a red maxi cardigan and it's perfect as what I wished for.
I didn't have the square-collared top or a nautical hat, since this is only a sailor-inspired look, but, I think I almost did it thanks to the striped skirt. I wrapped a simple hijabstyle, a cardi-matchy lipstick, and I'm done!
P.s. There were some people unexpectedly watching me posing that time, I was kinda shy (holding my laugh back), and turns out almost all the pics had my face unready and my lips were all stiff! augh!
