Everyone wants to have some level of success in their lives. Most people just 'wish' their lives were better, but do nothing to improve it, there are some however, that understand that they're responsible for the amount of success in their lives and are determined to do something to improve it.
Below are five simple things you can do every day that'll set you on the path to success.
1. Stretch Yourself:
One of the most helpful things you can do each day is stretch yourself. Not in the exercise sense, but in the personal improvement arena. Most people stick to what they know, they stay well within their comfort zone because they know it's safe.
To build your confidence, it's important that you move outside of your comfort zone to prove to yourself that if you'd only try, you're actually more confident than you give yourself credit for.
There are many different way you can stretch yourself without making it so difficult that your concerns stop you doing anything. You could, for example make that phone call you've be putting off for what seems like forever, or say Hi! to a stranger. You could offer to volunteer in a charity shop, or call in to an elderly neighbours to see if you can help in any way.
Whenever you hear the little devil in your mind saying…."it's fine to leave doing this until tomorrow.", that might be an activity that, by doing it now will help you step out of your comfort zone.
This moves me onto the next thing to do every day, which is….
2. Never be afraid to fail.
Failure is a gift. It allows us to learn and then develop our thinking which in turn moves us along our path to success and build our confidence.
The thing to remember about failure is that providing we at least learn something from the experience, our next attempt will be better. That's not to say that next time we'll be successful, but every time we fail, we'll learn a bit more until eventually we'll be successful.
The most successful people in history were so successful, because they failed often and learned from those failures.
Henry Ford said, "Failure is the opportunity to try again more intelligently". Oliver Goldsmith said "Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall". Michael Jordan when asked about his immensely successful basketball career replied, "I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot… and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life, and that's exactly why I succeeded." and finally, Soichiro Honda said "Many people dream of success. To me, success can only be achieved through repeated failure and introspection"
In short, failure is a stepping stone to success.
3. Move your body!
Successful people know that a healthy body is as important as a healthy mind and exercise is a vitally important area to consider on your road to success. It's no good being totally focused and driven in the beginning, just to run out of steam before you reach the finishing post.
Getting exercise needn't be going to the gym three times a week, or running 5 miles a day. It could be something as simple as walking to the shops, getting off the bus one stop early every day and walking the last part of the journey, or even doing some simple exercises at home each day.
Getting regular exercise not only gives you a fit and healthy body, but the process of exercising releases a rush of endorphins, resulting in improved self-esteem and an overall positive feeling in your body, in fact, many people describe the feeling that follows a run or workout as 'euphoric'. This feeling, known as a 'runner's high' helps to provide an energized outlook on life generally.
4. Go mental!
In the helpful and confidence building way obviously 😉
Take a few minutes every day to visualize your goal. Close your eyes and image how life will be once you've achieved your objective. What will your world look like, how will you be dressed, imagine how your posture and demeanor look, how your loved ones act towards you, etc.
Imagine yourself living in that situation, take in all of the sights, sounds and smells of the image…. actually be there in your mind.
Positive visualization can be very effective in helping you reach your goals.
5. Be grateful.
"An attitude of gratitude brings great things." — Yogi Bhajan
"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough." — Oprah Winfrey
"Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world." — John Milton
No matter how difficult you may feel your life is at the moment, it's important to remember that there is always someone in a much worse position than you. Take the time to remember the things you currently have and be grateful for them.
Everyone reading this will have many, many things that are only a dream to thousands of people, simple things like a loving family, or relative good health, a roof over your head, or a bed to sleep in each night. The ability to put food on the table and live in a country that has clean water to drink.
When you take a moment to reflect, you'll realise you're already very successful.
So, there we are. Five simple things, that when practiced regularly will give you a great start on your journey to experience a successful life.
Now it's over to you, do you have any tricks, or habits that help you to experience success on a daily basis? share them with the world in the comments below. 🙂

Left: A typical chestnut oak/pitch pine dominant roost location (Photo: George Gress)
On January 19th, I was joined by volunteer George Gress to track down Lexi. We found her near her usual roost locations, but this time closer to the bottom of the slope of the Buck Ridge. We found a very fresh pellet (at 10:30 am in the morning) underneath the pitch pine that Lexi was roosting in. Typically, saw-whets will find a clump of pine cones or needles on a dense branch to roost in, but today Lexi was completely exposed on a dead branch about 2 feet from the main trunk of the tree (see above pictures). Usually, it takes a few minutes of searching in a tree that you detect an owl in to get a visual, but as we were passing by her tree, George looked up and said "There she is!" Thanks to George for helping me find her and sharing his great photos!

By Svea Herbst-Bayliss
BOSTON, July 12 (Reuters) - Ospraie Management partner Will Snellings, who specializes in picking stocks at the $1 billion commodities-oriented firm, is launching his own hedge fund with the blessing of his boss, Dwight Anderson.
Snellings, a six-year Ospraie veteran, will start to accept money from outside investors for his Marianas Fund this month, according to a presentation obtained by Reuters.
The minimum investment is $1 million, standard for many hedge funds.
Since March 2012, Snellings has run a long/short equities and commodities portfolio at Ospraie.
That portfolio, the Marianas Strategy Program, returned roughly 17 percent last year and is up 8.12 percent this year, outpacing the average hedge fund's 3.6 percent gain in the first half. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 12.6 percent. At the end of April Marianas has $37 million in assets, according to the prospectus.
Now it will be part of Marianas Fund Management which will remain, for a time, an affiliate of Ospraie. A spokesman for Ospraie declined to comment. Snellings could not be reached.
With growing fears that the Federal Reserve's easy money policy will eventually end and make bond investments less attractive, industry analysts expect hedge funds specializing in so-called long/short equity strategies to see a flood of new money in the second half of the year.
Snellings' split from Ospraie is being cast as a carve out which is being called amicable, according to a personal familiar with the firm. Anderson will be writing his partner the biggest check he has ever handed to a new manager.
The two men will continue to work in the same Manhattan office building and Marianas will have full use of Ospraie's infrastructure and resources, the prospectus says.
Laying out his investment strategy, Snellings said he will make roughly 15 to 20 bets on "great businesses" in low and higher risk industries. Those will be balanced out with as many as 25 short positions, or bets against "high risk, really bad businesses." A small portion of the portfolio, about 8 percent, will be allocated to long or short commodity investments, the prospectus said.
As the $2.25 trillion hedge fund industry matures, ever more managers are spinning out of established funds, often with financial support of their former bosses.
In April, Michael Pausic announced plans to leave Maverick Capital and open his own fund while Scott Ferguson left Pershing Square Capital Management last year to launch his own business. Also last year, John Duryea left Ospraie to start private equity firm Blue Road Capital.
In the prospectus, Snellings, who earned an undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina and an MBA from the University of Virginia, said he will charge a 1.5 percent management fee and a 20 percent performance fee, again fairly standard in the hedge fund industry. Investors will be permitted to get their money back four times a year after giving the fund 60 days notice.
Snellings wrote in the prospectus being sent to potential investors that "fund investments will be made as if they are our personal investments," and added "we will never cut corners on ethics or compliance."

Top 5 worst reality TV shows ever
04/27/14 by Rennie Detore
Reality television is an acquired taste, especially if you've always found a flavor for traditional dramas or comedies.
For at least the past 10 years, reality television has been a staple on networks and cable to the point that this particular genre has transformed from groundbreaking to relatively watered down. The inception of reality television felt progressive, unique and an alternative to campy, formulaic programming with canned laughter.
Reality television was what it claimed to be: real. The better reality television offerings often featured no names and were devoid of star power but centered on a premise that was equal parts entertaining and intriguing. Think "American Idol" and "Real World" when you ponder reality television shows that changed the landscape.
But for every "Idol" or "Survivor," there were plenty of programs that tried really hard and bombed even harder. Narrowing down that list to just a few might be difficult given the plethora of poorly produced shows.
1.Keeping up with the Kardashians: Some may argue this show finding its way onto a "worst" list given its ratings performance for the E! Network. Anyone who has tried to watch this unbearable family on the small screen knows just how painstaking of a process this 30 minutes can be. Reality television often works when the stars aren't stars at all. The problem with the Kardashian clan in that they think they are celebrities and act accordingly, even though technically none of them have ever done anything to earn that status.
2. America's Got Talent: This was a horrific hodgepodge of talented people and stage acts that bordered on sheer stupidity. Trying to comb the country for people who have some sort of skill sounds like a decent premise until you get a hour's worth of a show that features juggling karaoke singers or magicians that don't belong on television. And that's the real flaw of America's Got Talent: too many duds and not enough talent on display.
3. Toddlers in Tiaras: I'm not sure what's worse about this show, the fact that these poor children are thrust into modeling careers in lieu of actually enjoying being a kid or the moms that pathetically live vicariously through their offspring. Some of the outfits these kids wear are nothing short of disturbing thanks to being way too provocative and inappropriate. The fact that the moms on the show couldn't care less that their kids and their psyche are being compromised might actually be worse that the clothing choices for these children.
4. Mr. Personality: This one is just plain weird. I understand the premise of a woman wanting to choose a man based on his personality alone. But someone explain why these guys have to wear these ridiculous and creepy masks. I liked this show better when it was called the "Dating Game," minus the odd Phantom of the Opera feel Mr. Personality had to it.
5. Temptation Island: This show should be retitled "Let's Break Up This Perfectly Good Relationship." Seriously, what is the purpose of this show, other than to watch everything that is wrong with boyfriends and girlfriends. This show glorifies manipulation and resentment, not to mention the lowest common denominator of making sure everyone on the show is wearing as little as possible.

[Ed. – Can you guess his party affiliation? Neither could we.]
Former U.S. Rep. Melvin Jay Reynolds has been arrested in Zimbabwe on suspicion of possessing pornography and an immigration offence.
Reynolds, 62, was arrested Monday by police detectives and immigration officials at a Harare hotel, according to the state-controlled newspaper, The Herald.
He brought several Zimbabwean models and other women to his hotel room where he took photographs and videos, the newspaper reported.
As Reynolds was being escorted to a government vehicle he demanded that officials give him his mobile phone and laptop computer, according to The Herald, whose reporter arrived at the hotel as the arrest was taking place.
Reynolds complained that he was not expecting such treatment when he had brought investors to the country, according to the newspaper. He said he had been to Zimbabwe 17 times and had called for U.S. sanctions to be dropped against President Robert Mugabe and his top associates.

The Day
The Day - When the Large Hadron Collider is turned on the Universe is changed ...
Welcome to The Day, a creator driven RPG where each player member is challenged to contribute, expand and build the Universe of The Day. To begin, you, as a player can decide if you wish to be a Reader essentially, the games DM, where you set up the contributing storyline, context and player NPCs, and invite other players to participate as Writers - the storys active characters who are the movers and shakers of the plot.
Or, you can be both, by creating independent stories and characters of your own creation outside of the games established cast of NPC characters and groups.
The goal of our project is to build origin content, giving us the potential of publishing our work as eBooks, a RPG module, or an ongoing, online SIM.
Looking for player members to jump start this new and innovative approach to PBeM.

Graelbane RPG - Northern Indiana RPG Group
Welcome Adventurer to the World of Graelbane!
My name is Marshall Peterson, and I am, and have been working on on an RPG for a year now called Graelbane, set in a fantasy universe I created.
I have decided to set up a group and invite strangers to play for two reasons. For one, the people I personally know have been playing with me for a while now, and I could use some fresh blood to play with. Secondly, I need new people to test the RPG, and bring different perspectives to it.
I do expect a few things from people who play with me.
I expect anyone who plays with me is Mature. Maturity is subjective, I will not set up some arbitrary age requirement, but if you find that you have been told in the past that you cannot be mature, then this group is not for you.
I expect anyone who plays with me is Kind. Sometimes RPGs can get heated. We care about our characters, about the story, about our party, and when things go wrong, often people get upset, and that is expected, but I also expect us all to keep in mind that it is a game, and it should not compromise the way we treat each other.
I expect anyone who plays with me is Focused. I love table talk, and I enjoy goofy stuff while we play, but I also expect that when it is time to focus (during combat, during dialogue, etc.) that you do so.
As far as the type of Campaign I run: I pride myself on attempting to give the players as much agency as possible, so sometimes I will put rails in front of the players, but they don't need to ride them. I generally run a very political campaign, with multiple factions competing for dominance, and I hope, but do not expect, for the players to engage with these factions. I tend to value role play in my games, and am a huge fan of dialogue, whether between PCs or a PC and an NPC. I do have combat in my games of course, but I also try to reward my players for avoiding combat as well. In fact, often I make combat encounters very difficult, so that the players realize sometimes it is smarter to resolve things peacefully.
Currently there is no schedule for sessions, but one will be created as soon as at least 3 players have joined the group.Last Activity: Monday, 24th April, 2017 06:40 AM

The Untamed Wilds
Shakespeare said, "All the world is a stage, the men and women merely players."
Homebrew Setting:
This is a magic infusion, early technology, fantasy world. The particular technological age is deliberately set at the late Iron Age moving into the Golden Age of Discovery so that the non-combat related actions of the characters have a direct effect on political, social, and technological development.
- Races / Character Description -
All characters should be humanoid, meaning 2 arms and 2 legs. No tails, wings, feathers, or scales at inception, of a relative height from 4' to 8', with general earth tone coloration (melaninic) or yellow to reddish (caratenoic) or some hue from black to white (chromatic). Star Wars has its own diversity. The people of this world are more uniform.
- Classes / Levels -
In a beginning adventure to a beginning campaign. The term beginner is important. Classes are only relevant to the players own vocabulary and archetypal design not to the playable mechanics of this system. Diversity is pliable to all, free of penalty. Beginning age of characters should be late adolescent to early adult for relative plausibility.
- Equipment / Money -
As per the introduction, the technological age is late iron. This is important to starting gear. Suits of armor have never even been heard of, much less seen. Metal weaponry does, of course, exist but it is general and simple. Rapiers and katanas and such are yet to be designed, waiting on character input and alloy component discovery. Some indigenous peoples are still using weaponry made of stone or bone.
All characters may begin with a simple melee weapon no larger than a longsword or single-blade fighting axe and/or a simple bow (long or short) with 20 arrows. If choosing knives, small swords, or hand axes, a character may begin with 2. Clothing should be homespun, wool, or cotton, no armor yet. Shields or bucklers are small and will be made of wood or hide.
The base currency is a medium sized coin made of tin that has various names from the 4 cities where it is minted but the same value. All characters are considered to have acquired 20 coins at the start of play. This is more than adequate. You will see.
This may come across as strange, but the system of origin for your character is irrelevant. I can use whatever stats you already have to relate them to what is important to keep track of development through play. Everyone has a favorite archetype or character. The question is can you take it and develop it through your own ability to play it, outside the rigid parameters of a gaming system? Where would you take it if the next step were entirely up to you?
Technical Mechanics are based on percentile and advancement is a point-buy system.

Arcanum of the Stars
Arcanum of the Stars is both the name of my Dragonstar campaign and one of the main forces behind that campaign. However, Arcanum of the Stars (AotS), the campaign, isn't going to be just about that one power group. Many other resources whether D&D, D20, or something else entirely has influenced how Arcanum of the Stars has developed and will continue to be developed. And not only is Arcanum of the Stars a campaign, it is also designed to be a Dragonstar resource for other players and GMs to add new material to their own Dragonstar campaigns.Last Activity: Tuesday, 1st August, 2017 04:33 PM

The Volunteer Zombie Eradication Force
Towering directly over your head is an ragged and imposing drill sergeant in his fifties. His tidily worn fatigues mock his appearance and presence: his leathery, scarred face wrinkles a hundred times over and he spits as he talks. Looking directly into your eye, into your soul, he yells,
"This is where all V.Z.E.F. recruits come to learn how to survive the madness of the apocalyptic world.
Report here to gear up and to find out how, when and where you will be stationed!
Check back to take on new missions (if available) and to meet other recruits.
If this is where it all ends, then this is where it all begins. Soooooound GOOD?!"
Ok, but seriously...
This is just a place to get started before you even know what's going on.
Some won't know what D&D is let alone table top role playing games, let alone what this site is for.
Some of you won't have a character yet, some will. Either way, if you're new you're in the right place.
For anyone interested in the Volunteer Zombie Eradication Force, 3.5 D&D, undead apocalypse campaign (aka VZEF Camp), this Community is for:
- making friends
- any kind of general conversation (out of character)
- learning about what Dungeons & Dragons is and how to play
- deciding what type of game and character you want to play
- choosing a group you wish to play with (unless you are playing solo)
Finally, and I really shouldn't have to mention this, but...
Please be respectful, even if you can't be kind.
No racism, no sexism, basically... if it end in ism and you're unsure, don't post it.
No erotic fantasy talk (in character or out of character) unless you're in a forum/thread that states you can.
Keep the profanity to a minimum. If you're going to use it, use it right.
No nudity!Last Activity: Saturday, 3rd June, 2017 12:25 PM

After picking up an offer from Michigan Wednesday night, offensive tackle John Ferrara gave a verbal to Lloyd Carr and became the eighth commitment of the season for the Wolverines. What made the 6-foot-4, 268-pounder commit so suddenly to Michigan?
"I committed right the night I received the offer because out of all the schools I visited and researched I felt Michigan had the best blend of tradition, winning and great academics," he said. "They are just a great school and a great program and coach Carr is a phenomenal coach. When I committed, Coach Carr told me he'll do his best to help me reach my goals and I believe he's going to get me better. I also really like coach Stripling who is recruiting me because he's a really nice guy and my position coach."
Ferrara is delighted to finally have a decision behind him.
Article Continues Below
"I'm definitely relieved and very excited to be a Wolverine," he said. "I'm glad recruiting is over because I had my share of it and now it's done. Instead I can focus on the remaining part of my season."
The three-star prospect plans to train hard before heading to Ann Arbor next year.
"I'm going to be hitting the weight room hard and I also plan to work to get myself ready for college football," he said. "Hopefully when I get there I can bring a hardworking attitude with me. I know that they'll probably redshirt me and then we'll see what happens."
Ferrara hasn't scheduled an official visit to Michigan yet, but plans to in the next week or so.
The No. 48 strongside defensive end is glad to be a part of the team and had a final word to say to the Michigan faithful.
"I want to thank Michigan for accepting me into their family and I'm going to try my hardest to live up to expectations."

Thanks for the response. BTW, I like your signature quote. I agree w/ you. I NEVER believe these claims that a lot of weight/inches can be lost in short periods of time. I think the only real way to lose weight is, like you said, eat less & exercise more. I know it takes effort. I am working on it. My treadmill is broken but I currently use my elliptical. I am just thinking of doing more toning type work. Like w/ weights, but I am not @ the weight point right now. I was just thinking that this ball & the work out seemed do-able. I still haven't ordered it yet. I think the price is reasonable, but I still don't want to spend $15 on something I may not use. Guess I can give it the 30 day trial. I was just hopeful that someone may have tried it & could say if they even felt the exercises made any difference @ all.

WARNING Yet Another Refutation of Santorum SlanderThis is a direct response to the description of :icontompreston:'s latest "Political Cartoon" aka Atrocity against truth. So you probably won't have a clue what I'm refuting unless you read it... http://tompreston.deviantart.com/art/Resetting-Progress-291111154 Feel free to skip all this and not read it at all~ I just can't stand such easily refuted blatant falsehood to sit there un-addressed.
"the whole sexual libertine idea." was cropped out of the source. The whole context shows the topic as being MORALITY [and personal responsibility] not law. And Key to Santorum's philosophy is this!
"There are bigger problems at stake in America. [IE Social Issues] And someone has gotta go out there, I will, and talk about these things. And you know here's the difference the left gets all upset 'oh look at him talking about these things', you know here's the difference between me and the left and they
I have now delete my previous journal because.....I'm have now delete my previous journal "Is UKIP is a racist and neo-nazi party?" and that artwork "Nigel Farage as Adolf Hitler" because is so wrong and really stupid thing I have done due to having invalid and not lot of evidences. So yeah, I'm sorry for having this out of proportion.
However, I still don't agreed with them. Aswell, I appreciate people's opinion and I tried keep this civilized.
Bernie Sanders: Democratic Strategy is 'Pathetic'Senator Bernie Sanders sits down with Salon to talk inequality, the GOP, and whether or not he'll run for president.
by Thomas Frank
SALON Magazine
Bernie Sanders is a legendary political independent from Vermont. Over the years, he has served as mayor of Burlington, the largest city in that state; as a member of the House of Representatives; and (currently) as a United States Senator. We met last week in his office in one of the Senate office buildings in Washington, D.C., and discussed the Clinton years, the way to beat the Right, and whether or not he should run for president in 2016. Needless to say, his take on the current political situation is not exactly the kind of thing you usually hear when you walk the marble halls of the nation's capital.
This conversation has been lightly edited.
I've followed what you have been saying for a long time. You and I are both concerned about the
Blue Smoke and Mirrors in Washington
"Th[e NSA's] capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability to monitor everything: telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter. There would be no place to hide. [If a dictator ever took over, the NSA] could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back."
-- Senator Frank Church, 1975
If you read this brief piece by Glenn Greenwald, and you really ought to do that, you'll conclude that 99.9% of everything Church warned about has already come to pass:
People aren't buying Obama's game. Two U.S. District Courts have ruled that these programs fly in the face of the Fourth Amendment. People know that the "reform" bill introduced by Senator Diane Feinstein -- which "fixes" the problem by making legal all the illegal things the NSA is doing --
Federal Judge Rules Against NSA Phone TappingThe New York Times
December 16, 2013
By CHARLIE SAVAGE
WASHINGTON — A Federal District Court judge ruled on Monday that the National Security Agency program that is systematically keeping records of all Americans' phone calls most likely violates the Constitution, and he ordered the government to stop collecting data on two plaintiffs' personal calls and destroy the records of their calling history.
In a 68-page ruling, Judge Richard J. Leon of the District of Columbia called the program's technology "almost Orwellian" and suggested that James Madison, the author of the Constitution, would be "aghast" to learn that the government was encroaching on liberty in such a way.
"I cannot imagine a more 'indiscriminate' and 'arbitrary' invasion than this systematic and high-tech collection and retention of personal data on virtually every single citizen for purposes of querying and analyzing i

Rome lived upon its principal till ruin stared it in the face. Industry is the only true source of wealth, and there was no industry in Rome. By day the Ostia road was crowded with carts and muleteers, carrying to the great city the silks and spices of the East, the marble of Asia Minor, the timber of the Atlas, the grain of Africa and Egypt; and the carts brought out nothing but loads of dung. That was their return cargo.
– The Martyrdom of Man by Winwood Reade (1871)
There is the visible government situated around the Mall in Washington, and then there is another, more shadowy, more indefinable government that is not explained in Civics 101 or observable to tourists at the White House or the Capitol. The former is traditional Washington partisan politics: the tip of the iceberg that a public watching C-SPAN sees daily and which is theoretically controllable via elections. The subsurface part of the ice
Why 'Marriage?'Why can't gays have all the rights as married straight couples, just not the title of marriage?
Why can't women have all the same voting rights as men, just not the title of being a voter?
Why can't immigrants have all the same rights as natives, just not the title of being American?
Why can't Muslim Americans have all the same religious rights as us, just not the title of being patriotic?
Why can't black people get the same water as white people, just not from the same water fountain?
Because to accept anything less than equality is inequality.
If a couple is dedicated and works hard to achieve something such as a long-term relationship, they deserve the title. They do not deserve to have their efforts cast aside and labeled with some second-class bastardization of the reward.
A marriage is a marriage. Accept nothing less.
Public Education: An American TraditionI'm going to give you some fair warning... This article is very meaty. Very dry. Just so you know.
Every once in a while an angry article comes out talking about how terrible the public education system is, how it's a sham, how we ought to get rid of the whole thing entirely. You know, fun stuff like that.
Well, as someone who graduated from a public school, I figured that it might be a good thing for me to point out a few of the good things that public school does. But not before I point out some of the problems.
The first thing that comes to mind when I think problems with the public school system is class size. Class size makes a difference in children's education. It just makes sense. If there are fewer students per teacher, the teacher is more able to address the needs of individual students. Studies show that s

While there is still no sign of a native email client on the BlackBerry PlayBook from RIM, third party developers are busy working on alternative solutions. The latest (but not yet released) is that of aMail. The app is an IMAP and POP3 email client for the PlayBook that should solve many problems with native email. aMail lets you access up to 10 email accounts and uses SSL and TSL authentication. Use gestures to navigate the app and even compose messages offline. aMail looks to be a great app and should solve the email woes of some users. It has been submitted to BlackBerry App World and is pending approval. We'll be sure to bring more when it's available for download.

aMail brings email to the BlackBerry PlayBook
hope they changed their password after this video
I wonder what the BlackBerry Java "player" will be like (when RIM finally gets around to releasing it). I'd love to port LogicMail to the PlayBook, but I really don't have the time or motivation to completely rewrite a complex Java app in Adobe Air. I wish AiFlex the best of luck, and am curious to see how their app does once it gets battle-tested against the real world. (From my own experience, they may be up for a rude awakening once that happens.)
This will never get approved by RIM.
i dont see why RIM wouldnt approve this app. its not like rim is going to sell their native email app. it'll come built into the OS. i wouldnt mind havin an app like this for my other emails saturated with junk and spam. no notifications necessary just easier to check at my convenience. native app for personal emails - notifications and security.
need better graphics. just post the app here and let us use it! we promise we would donate money ;) hahah rightttt.
Looks pretty good!
Hopefully the AiFlex will make enough money to buy a better camera to promote other products. :)
At this point I am very disappointed with the app selection within appworld I dont think an app like this will put anyone at ease. Does anyone have an idea when we can leverage the useful apps that ipad and android devices have access to? I understand the repackage and submit to appworld for approval but come on already. I am having a tough enough time waiting for my company to test and enable bridge to go with it no apps to make tablet usage more productive.

These Cheddar Bay Biscuits (Red Lobster Copycat) are entirely irresistible and can be on your table in less than 20 minutes! I dare you to eat just one! Packed with cheesy goodness, these easy biscuits are the perfect addition to every meal!
Let's be friends! Sign up to get my new recipes in your inbox! Follow me on Facebook and Instagram too!
Some friends and I recently hit up one of our favorite girls night restaurants, Red Lobster, before we went and saw La La Land. I know. I'm always late to the party on this stuff. Anyways, for days afterwards I couldn't get those melt-in-your-mouth Cheddar Bay Biscuits out of my mind. I decided I needed to come up with my own copycat version. Nailed it if I do say so myself.
I started with my perfect biscuit recipe and then checked the ingredients list on the boxed mix that they are selling now at Costco. I pulled out the words that I recognized (not that many to be honest, lots of filler in those mixes) and created a spot-on recipe that my husband couldn't stop thanking me for.
I served them with some grilled tri-tip and a fresh garden salad last night and talk about heavenly… WOW. Lots of shredded sharp cheddar cheese creates these hot pockets within the biscuits that are gooey and fabulous. A small amount of onion and garlic powder add a lovely savoriness to these biscuits.
Fresh from the oven, I liberally brushed on melted butter that had been combined with garlic powder and fresh parsley. The aroma you guys! I'm glad my family loved them as much as I did or otherwise this batch of biscuits might have been devoured by just me.
Now that I've got the Cheddar Bay Biscuits down pat, I'm thinking Cheesecake Factory for the next girls night… you see where I'm going with this, right?
Speaking of date night, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a hard time carving out time to spend with friends. With so many family activities, it can be super challenging. But, as I like to remind myself, now that I'm officially in that adulting stage of life, I have responsibilities. Like proactively setting up date nights with friends, making sure my husband is going to feed the boys somewhat nutritional food while I'm out, and ensuring that splitting the dinner bill and movie tickets with friends is a relatively painless process.
Enter my new favorite app: Square Cash. I'm sure you've been in a similar situation before – out with friends, the bill comes, the restaurant is all like um, yeah, we don't split checks, and everyone is searching for cash in their wallet while ultimately realizing that carrying cash really isn't done anymore…. #awkward. (I for one never carry cash. My kids think we have no money because I never have cash lol)
You guys, gone are those awkward moments with Square Cash. It's the newest and easiest way to pay back money to friends and family. This app is available on Google Play Store and the Apple App Store and is FREE. Also, it works with Apply Pay – BONUS! Download the app now at Cash.me. (Enter code: HXJLHRN for a free $10 bonus just for trying it!)
Sharing the bill with friends is easy with Square Cash, sharing your food isn't 🙂
What I'm loving about this app:
- Super easy to use. Seriously. The interface is streamlined and simple and so easy to use your Grandma could easily send you money. THAT easy.
- Your friends and family do NOT need to have an account set up in order for you to send money to them.
- FREE. My four favorite letters. Send money to friends and family with your debit card at no cost. Download here. (Use code: HXJLHRN for a free $10 bonus just for trying it!)
Square Cash has completely simplified the process of transferring money to friends and family. Whether you're going in together on a gift for someone, or simply splitting the dinner bill, Square Cash has got you covered.
Connect with Square Cash on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!
And let's not forget about these Cheddar Bay Biscuits for those nights when walking to you room to get your pj's on is about as far as you want to go 🙂
- 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, cold
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 6 oz grated sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Line a quarter sheet baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and stick back in the fridge or freezer until ready to use.
- Combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Use a pastry cutter to cut the VERY COLD butter in. You want to see small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough.
- Stir in the buttermilk and mix just until the ingredients are combined. The dough will be sticky.
- Stir in the shredded cheese and use your hands to fully incorporate into the dough.
- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the dough out onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Pat down gently to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown and biscuits are cooked through.
- In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder and melted butter.
- Add the chopped parsley and stir to combine.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the melted butter mixture on top of each biscuit.
- Serve immediately.

The picture with my finger shows the gap between the plate and the bottom of the stove. So at full close it hangs down far enough from stove that i can get my finger between it and the stove

This week, Latinos Progresando comes "of age," so to speak, celebrating 18 years of service on Chicago's southwest side. It has been an amazing journey since the doors first opened in our tiny office on 18th Street.
We've certainly been met with challenges: a break-in early on that wiped out all of our equipment, the greatest economic recession in our lifetimes, an ongoing stalemate in immigration reform, and even now, our political discourse fraught with anti-immigrant and anti-Mexican rhetoric.
Even so, we've developed the largest Latino-led family based immigration legal services program in the State of Illinois—one that is now being used as a model across the United States. We're driving the work of a coalition of 20 agencies in Marshall Square, and we continue to evolve, adapt and push the envelope for what it means to be a community organization today.
Take a moment to read about our major strides in 2015. We're proud of the fact that in 18 years, even as we've seen incredible growth, Latinos Progresando has remained committed to our key principle: with greater capacity, information and access, people have the power to change their own lives.
We're just getting started…this week, we enter a strategic planning process that will define our work for the next three years. We can't wait to take this next step with all of you, the Latinos Progresando family.
Thank you.

Our buildings are located on Prologis Parks, which we own, manage and maintain. At every Prologis Park, we aim to provide our customers with a high quality working environment and park-wide services designed to support their business operations.
Prologis RFI DIRFT is recognised as the most successful rail freight interchange and logistics park in the UK. Located at the centre of the country, DIRFT is close to the West Coast Mainline railway and the M1 motorway. Infrastructure work has started on the third phase of the development, which has detailed planning permission for 7.9 million sq ft of logistics space and a new rail terminal.
Prologis Apex Park is part of a thriving employment area north of Daventry town centre, next to the A45 and close to the M1/M6 interchange. Prologis is developing the third phase of the park, where the final available plot has detailed planning permission for a unit of 414, 051 sq ft.
Prologis Park West London is situated just 1.5 miles from the M4 and is strategically located to serve Heathrow airport, greater London, the Thames valley and beyond
At Prologis, we aim to create a high quality working environment for all our customers. Our buildings are on Prologis Parks, which we own, manage and maintain, so when customers move to one of our buildings, they can benefit from a range of park-wide services that we have designed to support their business operations.

All new Prologis warehouses are designed and constructed to minimise operational carbon emissions. Buildings with reduced operational carbon emissions require less energy to operate and help customers to save running costs.
To reduce operational carbon emissions, the first step is to implement passive design measures to reduce the need for energy. These include high levels of air-tightness and insulation to reduce potential heat loss. Our cladding specification and detailing provides insulation that is well in excess of Building Regulations, while pressure tests show that we can achieve air-tightness levels up to 80% better than the statutory requirement.
Rooflights on 15% of the warehouse roof area maximise the use of daylight, while optimal orientation takes into account the path of the sun and the prevailing winds. Where possible, offices are designed on a narrow floorplate with dual aspect glazing to take advantage of natural daylight and allow for effective passive ventilation. We also provide solar shading to ensure thermal comfort and avoid solar gain.
When energy use becomes essential, we specify and install the most energy efficient plant available, such as intelligent lighting with low-energy fluorescent fittings, daylight linking and presence-detecting controls. High-efficiency, low-NOX boilers with thermostatically controlled radiators heat the offices and different parts of the building are sub-metered to help customers track and manage their energy consumption.
Once the operational energy use in the building has been minimised, we can design and install low-or zero-carbon technologies to meet the customer's specific operational needs and, as a result, further reduce operational carbon emissions.

The Smiler may NEVER run again at Alton Towers after horror crash
THE Smiler rollercoaster at Alton Towers may never run again, a lawyer representing eight crash victims said yesterday.
Leah Washington was hurt in the Alton Towers crash
Paul Paxton, who leads personal injury claims at Stewarts Law, spoke recently with senior officials at the Health and Safety Inspectorate, who are still investigating the crash.
Mr Paxton said: "The Health and Safety Inspectorate made it clear that the requisite multidisciplinary expertise was in place.
"The ride is likely to remain closed for a significant period of time; indeed it may never open again. The families are reassured that every angle is being thoroughly covered."
Sixteen people were injured, four seriously, when their carriage smashed into a stationery carriage on the ride on June 2.
Leah Washington, 17, from Barnsley, Yorkshire, later had her left leg amputated and her boyfriend, Joe Pugh, 18, has had his shattered knee caps rebuilt by surgeons.
The firm also represents Victoria Balch, 20, who was badly hur and five other injured people.
Mr Paxton has met with solicitors working for the ride's insurers, who have released interim payments to help with the rehabilitation of the injured.

It's been a very busy August here in middle Tennessee. We've been getting bulldozer work done which then caused us to have to pick up rocks, in order to get a pad ready to build a garage/workshop. It should be started the week after Labor Day.
Meanwhile, on the needles is Ollie. It's a Knitwhits pattern using 8 colors at the same time. What I have of course is a tangled mess, but it's fun so far. My husband helped place the colors in their order. The weird thing is that you knit on straight needles then seam it up. I would rather knit in the round so I may have to work on that for the next one.
Here are some pictures of the work in progress:

Eat RecordsBrooklyn, New York City
Tiny place. Okay food. Cool records.
I went recently and they were out of everything we wanted, so I just got a coffee (which was good) and browsed the record selection (which is bigger than the food selection).
The second time I went by there, they were accommodating and altered a sandwich to make it vegan. It tasted great, but there was only one person making the food for two people and it took longer than two sandwiches should take to put together. Its forgivable because I'm patient and had nowhere to be, but the whole experience was just so-so. Not horrible, not great.
* Worth trying at least once, if for no other reason than to support the small business.

We became Green Business Certified in Spring 2016 and we are excited to share all of our achievements with you! The Green Business Certification requires that you work to "Prevent Pollution, Conserve Natural Resources, and Exceed Environmental Regulatory Requirements." We encourage businesses and individuals to incorporate these changes too and invite you to treat this sneak peek as a how to guide!
Prevent Pollution
Our Change: Switching our soap to Molly's Suds Laundry Detergent
You probably didn't think it was possible to be ecstatic about a laundry detergent but we are about ours! Molly's Suds Laundry Detergent was created in 2008 by Monica Leonard, a nurse & mom. Monica was moved by the loss of her daughter Molly to develop a natural laundry supply line. Check out their website for an inspiring story.
Conserve Natural Resources
Our Change: Focus on reducing and reusing
We know that "REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE" are in that order for good reason. Recycling is the last resort because it uses a lot of resources so make sure you reduce and reuse resources first. We are happy to say that we use less paper now simply by changing our habits. For example, we communicate with coworkers through email rather than post its and enable double sided printing any chance we get. Most importantly, we now purchase 100% Recycled & 80% Post Consumer Waste FSC certified office paper & paper towels. WOO! That was a mouthful…but all of the labels are important. You can learn more about the details on our new website tab focused on Environmental Efforts that will be coming soon!
Our Change: Water Efficient Shower Head
We have a brand spankin' new outdoor shower head courtesy of the City of Santa Barbara. You can get a new water efficient shower head too with the Showerhead Exchange program. Turn in your current shower head, trade it for a better one AND save money on your water bill.
Save even more by setting up a free water check up. Check ups give you info about your irrigation system and help you solve any leak problems. Call the City of Santa Barbara at (805) 564-5460. More details here.
Our New Habit: Composting
Our beloved captain, Dan Collie, has a beautiful nature preserve right in his backyard. Dan's preserve is full of homegrown food that is quenched by reclaimed water and fed by food scraps generated by the Santa Barbara Sailing Center staff. We are so delighted to close the loop and give back to our treasured community! Why does composting help? Without composting, our food scraps would go directly into the trash, eventually making their way to the Tajiguas landfill. Since the landfill has a lack of oxygen, the food scraps emit methane while they decompose. Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas and a large contributor to climate change. When food scraps are composted, they do not emit methane because they are reincorporated into the soil and the plants that the soil nourishes.
Interested in getting your business green certified? Check out Santa Barbara's Green Business Program!
Stay tuned for more environmental updates!

Cheteshwar Pujara will open with KL Rahul, says Virat Kohli
Colombo: India Test captain Virat Kohli yesterday gave a clear indication that Cheteshwar Pujara is likely to come back into the playing XI as an opener alongside KL Rahul in the series-deciding final Test against Sri Lanka.
Cheteshwar Pujara
Pujara last played for India against Australia in the 'Boxing Day' Test at Melbourne but since then have been out of favour in the last four matches. Kohli also indicated that rookie Karun Nair may also be tried out.
"Looking at these conditions, the reason behind getting someone like Karun Nair in was, we can have Cheteshwar Pujara open. He is pretty solid, and with the new-ball he has opened in the subcontinent before. That was the whole idea behind it," Kohli said.
"And we have another exciting guy in Karun Nair coming in. But the idea behind it was getting Pujara to open along with Rahul and then that gives us even more batting options to play around with," said the skipper.

REGIONAL AM Eluned Parrott has given her support to a campaign for more nurses on Welsh hospital wards.
Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats Kirsty Williams has launched a campaign aimed at providing safe staffing levels in the Welsh NHS.
The campaign has reached its second stage with consultation beginning on the Safe Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Bill.
Over 3,000 people have either signed the campaign petition or written to their AM urging them to back the Bill as it progresses through the Assembly.
During this six week consultation period, Kirsty Williams will tour Welsh hospitals to speak with nurses and feed their views into the consultation.
Welsh Liberal Democrat AM for South Wales Central, Eluned Parrott said: "I'm delighted to support Kirsty's campaign for safe nurse staffing levels in the Welsh NHS.
"Nurses who have fewer patients to tend are able to spend a greater amount of time with each patient and as a result can provide better care.
"It also means better support for staff through more manageable workloads, increased job satisfaction and reduced levels of stress or burnout."

On Friday, the appeals court for the Washington D.C. circuit heard arguments from the United States Telecom Association which would like to see the FCC's landmark net neutrality order issued in February reversed.
In February, the FCC officially reclassified internet services as telecommunications under Title II of the Communications Act, meaning that ISPs could be regulated in a similar fashion as to telephone service providers. This caused a handful of telecoms and ISPs to pursue legal action.
Central to the telecom industry's argument is that the FCC has no authority to reclassify fixed and mobile broadband as common carrier services.
The court isn't expected to provide a ruling until the spring, but many commentators, including Harold Feld of interest group Public Knowledge have said that USTelecom getting its way would be a long-shot.
"The FCC looks very likely to win on the big question of statutory authority," Feld wrote in a blog post, referencing the precedents set 10 years ago in a court case involving cable companies attempting to refuse to share their networks with a small California ISP called Brand X.
"None of the judges, even Judge Williams (the most conservative judge), seemed sympathetic to USTA's effort to distinguish this case from Brand X," he wrote. "This is important because Brand X says that the definition of 'Telecommunications' is ambiguous and the FCC therefore has discretion as to whether to define broadband as Title II telecommunications service or a Title I information service. By contrast, none of the panel pressed the FCC on why they thought it was ambiguous."
USTelecom President Walter McCormick contended, however, that the reclassification as a Title II common carrier "is inconsistent with the clear language of the statute and the commission's own longstanding precedent."
He continued, "By inserting itself deeply into the management of the Internet, the commission has improperly sought to expand its jurisdiction beyond the authority delegated to it by the Congress. This regulatory overreach – which will slow innovation, chill investment, and increase cost on consumers – is completely unnecessary, given the fact that broadband providers are operating in conformance with the open Internet standards advanced by the president, support their adoption in regulation under the FCC's Section 706 authority, and their enactment into law by the United States Congress."
The Open Technology Institute was among the organizations and technology companies defending the FCC against the lawsuit to support equal network neutrality protections. Sarah J. Morris, OTI's senior policy counsel, said in a statement, "By following the roadmap provided by the Supreme Court's 2005 'Brand X' case and the D.C. Circuit's 2014 'Verizon' case, the FCC crafted its Order on the strongest legal foundation…We remain confident in the strength of the rules and are encouraged by the Court's responsiveness to the legal arguments made by the FCC and its intervenors."
For the complete arguments in the circuit court, the hearing is available in MP3 format: Part 1, Part 2.
Even if the D.C. circuit court rules in favor of the FCC, it's wouldn't be surprising if the telecom industry's appeal goes to the Supreme Court.

My name is Jeff Trinci, and I am the owner of Mobile Music DJs. We are a Portland DJ and Emcee Service that specializes in Portland Weddings. We've been working with Portland Area Brides and Grooms for over 15 years! I personally began my DJ career back in college under a longtime radio disc jockey. He had his DJ business for about 10 years, at the time, and was kind enough to share his knowledge with me. After nearly two years DJing weddings together, I established my own company here in Portland. Since mid 2002 I've been running Mobile Music DJs, and it's been great! There's a tremendous satisfaction after an event… so much so that sometimes I can't even believe I get paid for this!

Nate Diaz was recently on a podcast talking about his training with Ronda Rousey:
"If I'm messin' around or playin' around like, 'oh I'm just training with a girl', you're going to get tapped out," Diaz said. "That hasn't happened [to me] but I've seen her tapping out people and I'm like aw, that ain't happening to me."
"She got me in a move this one time and I had to get super man-strong and hold on for it."
"There's no girls like that. I've trained with other girls that are real good. Real, real, real good at Jiu-Jitsu and moving and stuff, but none that I've trained with that are real good, and technical and that much of a beast too."
Here is a video of Ronda Rousey grappling with Nate's brother, Nick Diaz:

Q: windshield washer fluid for the rear window on 2002 Mercury MountaineerEdit
I don't know where to fill the windshield washer fluid for the rear window on my 2002 Mercury Mountaineer.
| |
I think the front and rear washer pump are both in the front washer bottle reservoir which means there is only on reservoir filling the front is also filling the rear as they are the same. Get a friend to press the rear washer and listen for the pump to run where ever you hear the pump run it is where the reservoir is.
it is located in the rear, if you lift the panel to acess the jack you will see it just near where the latch for the rear tailgate is
the same place you fill for the front in the washer reservoir under the hood
I have a third row seat. I checked under where the jack goes but found nothing
Didn't find what you were looking for?
