Key Features:
- show notifications from fullscreen applications
- show quick settings panel (Android 4.2+)
- one finger and two finger gesture
- vibration feedback
- option to change touch area position and width
NOTE: This application does not modify your current status bar. This is experimental feature, which may not work on every device! Because functionality of this application is already integrated in the Android 4.4, I decided to stop development. If you want source code, just let me know.
Application is free and without any adds.
Thanks Ash P for review on youtube.
What's New
Smart Statusbar
Smart Statusbar is the first and only Status bar enabler in full screen app. You can now reveal status bar in any Full screen app with gesture.
Imagine you are watching movie and you want to know what time it is, with Smart Statusbar you can do a finger swipe as you were trying to expand status bar on top of the screen to reveal it. No more back to home screen and leave what you are doing to get info you need in full screen app.
feedback welcome. Note - It doesn't work in Honeycomb and ICS tablet version because there is no such need..
Omni Swipe (ex-Lazy Swipe)
Just swipe from your screen's bottom left or right corner on any screen to instantly open a customizable radial menu that keeps what's important and most useful to you always within a thumb's reach. Unlike other accessibility tools, Omni Swipe stays hidden and out of your way until you swipe it into view to use it.
Woohoo! Omni Swipe ("the app formerly known as Lazy Swipe") is one of the most promoted apps in the Tools category by Google, who has also featured Omni Swipe on the Google Play Home Page over 30 times! Thanks, Google!
★ Unobtrusive: Omni Swipe only appears when you want it to, and disappears when you're done, never covering or cluttering up your beautiful desktop.
★ Intelligent: Omni Swipe cleverly anticipates and organizes your apps based upon importance and your past usage behavior.
★ Interact: Get your latest notifications without having to swipe down the notification bar, and keep your most important contacts as well as their various contact methods convenient.
★ Light-weight: Omni Swipe is small at less than 1MB large, and optimized to provide a clean and smooth user experience.
★ Favorites: Add and arrange up to 9 of your favorite apps to always be within your reach.
★ Toolbox: Customize which commonly-used shortcuts and switches can also be accessed with a single swipe. Easily switch on/off your flashlight, wifi, rotation lock or adjust your screen's brightness. Keep your Android fast and responsive with the memory-cleaning speed-boosting "Booster" tool!

Illumination Bar Notification
The phone can light up the Illumination Bar, the regular notification LED and the Camera Flash LED.
*** Note: This app requires a Sony Xperia with illumination bar for full functionality. ***
*** If you run Cyanogen mod or any other custom rom check out the first post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706875
Support for different LEDs are hardware dependent. Camera flash will work on most devices.
Additional functionality in Illumination Bar Pro:
More colors. Any RGB color where hardware supports it
Personal Notifications (Incoming Call, Missed Call, SMS) - Dedicate a special color to anyone in your contact list.
The illumination bar can blink with different speeds or have a constant light depending on your preference.
You can also set the illumination bar light to "always on" while the screen is active.
In addition to SMS and Missed Calls, notifications from almost any app is supported.
The following Apps are verified, but most other apps should also work:
Google Talk
This app only have full functionality on the range of Sony Xperia mobile phones that have an illumination element (the transparent bar at the bottom of the phone).
Currently this is the following models: Xperia S, Xperia P, Xperia U, Xperia J, Xperia SP & Xperia L
Users have reported it also works with Ion & Sola and a few other models.
On Xperia U multiple colors are available to choose from (Red, Green, Blue, etc).
Xperia S and P only have hardware support for one color so they are limited to white light.
The bar will light up until the SMS is read, the call has been acknowledged or optionally the lights can be turned off when the screen is unlocked. You can also stop the light from the status bar.
There is also an option to stop blinking after a fixed time even if the notification has not been acknowledged.
If you don't want the bright light to shine when you are sleeping, you can set "off hours" when the light will be disabled.
Data ON-OFF
Data ON-OFF is FREE. However, we need to support our efforts to continuously improve the app with occasional ads. There is an option to turn them off through in-app purchase. For example, our team is now working hard on a solution for Lollipop users, which requires many hours of paid programmers work. Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding.
1) ICS users (Android 4) must add the widget as explained in this guide: http://support.google.com/ics/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&hlrm=it&answer=1628154
2) widgets installed on external memory (SD card) could not work properly.
- enable/disable (switch on/off) data with a single click;
- 3 widget icon styles;
- (optional) notifications when data setting changes (not by Data ON-OFF);
- (optional) automatically restore user configuration when it's changed;
- (optional) auto disable mobile data when battery level is lower than a custom value;
- (optional) event monitor and logging (about data config).
- Access Network State
- Change Network State
- if the mobile data setting changes (not changed by Data ON-OFF) when the phone is connected to a WiFi network, Data ON-OFF ignores the change and does not update the widget icon. This is an implementation choice, that saves some memory RAM.
Please report any bugs or suggestions (email@example.com)

Swipe Home Button
Do you find physical Home Button is hard to press? Do you worry your home button will be broken soon? Do you feel your notification bar is too far to reach?
Swipe Home Button is a revolutionary tool that changes the way you control your android.
It provide five most useful actions on Android with bezel swipe gestures.
No more Home Button. No more reaching to the status bar.
And, now it is possible to use your big phone with only one hand!
Five most useful actions!
1, Go back to home screen
----Save your weary fragile home button.
2, Show recent apps
----Save one second wasted on long press.
3, Pull down notification
----No more reaching to the far notification bar.
4, Play next track.
----One swipe to play next track even if you are in a full screen game.
(Only works on certain music play, has been tested on Poweramp, and stock Music Play)
5, Open any other app
----You could open you most used app in one action!

Five Amazing customizable swipe gestures!

Check out the video to feel the easy and clean swipe gestures!
In addition, This app has a tiny footprint. Not a single unnecessary permission is required.
Free your Home Button with gestures!
Known issues,
1, This app may hinder touching space bar while typing. The workaround is touch the upper part space bar, disable "improve sensitivity" if possible, or use a IME that has a bigger space bar.
2, No back button and Menu button support, because those feature need root permissions. This could be true for other specific feature.
3, This app is not suitable for device that solely use virtual keys.
4, Swipe Home Button has been tested with Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note 2, and HTC One. However, I can not assure other device can use this app.
5, This app is not suitable for device with virtual buttons.
Useful hints:
1, With Android 4.1+, you could even hide the icon in notification pull-down by unchecking "show notification" setting for Swipe Home Button in your phone's application manager. On Android 4.0 device, the icon in notification pull-down is required to keep the swipes working.
2, Every swipe should start from outside of the screen. The swipe don't need to be fast.
3, Because of this app you may need to press upper part of your space bar when typing. The lower part is occupied by this app.
4, Combining with other "Lock Screen" app can achieve lock screen using swipe.
5, Combining with the great app called "Tasker", by creating tasker Shortcuts, you could achieve any command with swipe, including "Menu back" and "back button".

Sieroszewski's Siberian experiences became the subjects of his many stories and novels — Na kresach lasów (At the Edge of the Woods, 1894), Dno nędzy (The Depths of Misery, 1900), Risztau (1899), Ucieczka (The Escape, 1904), Zamorski diabeł (The Overseas Devil, 1900).

I'm using 1.1.3 release build (not the developer build)
1) Custom forms working (think the developer build might fix that anyway)
2) Be able to use a Date/time picker in the custom form.
3) I then need a tiny bit of PHP coding, which displays the result of that date/time minus the current date/time, so I end up with "5 days, 43 mins left" kind of thing. I need this to be displayed in the actual listings. When the time has gone it needs to say "Expired"
4) I need to be able to search using the above result, so I can have something like a "Ending soonest" option.
5) I also need to be able to search by another yes/no value.
6) I also need to be able to search by another value (numerical money value)

China Box Office: 'G.I. Joe' Pulls in $33.5 Million in First Week
The imported blockbuster blitzes to the top spot, while domestic hit "Finding Mr. Right" becomes the highest-grossing rom-com ever released in the country.
BEIJING – Finding Mr. Right's monthlong hold on the top spot in the Chinese box-office rankings finally gave way this week, as G.I. Joe: Retaliation stormed the country's cinemas.
The Hollywood blockbuster, which opened April 15, took in $33.5 million (207 million yuan) during its first week at the Chinese box office, according to figures released by the state-backed China Film News micro-blog.

Apart from 3D, the film also was released in a 4D version in selected cinemas (with added off-screen special effects), with tickets costing about 50 percent more.
Finding Mr. Right has slumped to fourth place in the weekly rankings with earnings of $5.2 million (32 million yuan). While this is less than half of its earnings the week prior -- with its rom-com de jour pedigree taken over by new release A Wedding Invitation -- the haul still propelled Xue Xiaolu's film past the 500 million yuan ($80.8 million) milestone and Feng Xiaogang's If You Are the One 2, making it the highest-grossing romantic-comedy ever released in China.
A Wedding Invitation, directed by Korean Oh Ki-hwan and starring mainland Chinese actress Bai Baihe and Taiwan's Eddie Peng, brought in $13.3 million (82 million yuan) and has now generated $24.2 million (150 million yuan) during its two-week run. The Croods was third with $6.2 million (38.6 million yuan) -- a sizable showing given the film just opened on Saturday.

While all eyes are trained on how Iron Man 3 will fare in China upon its early May release, the next film to benefit from the recent fascination with domestic fare will be actress Vicki Zhao Wei's directorial debut So Young.
Based on Zhao's experiences as a student in the 1990s -- the title alludes to a 1993 hit by the British band Suede -- the film has attracted wide media coverage in China and is expected to strike a resonant note with the young spenders who grew up in that period.

James "JT" Tanner is the only rapper in the young'uns category, so it's a little hard to compare him to the rest of the group. Unfortunately for him, that's the name of the game ("No it's not, it's called The X Factor" we hear you and our moms say). Britney Spears said he was "entertaining" but wasn't sure about him.

8 Things I Wish I'd Known About Health (Before I Learned the Hard Way)
From Fitness Pros to Average Joe's, health and fitness goals are not effortlessly achieved. What you eat DOES matter, your mindset DOES matter, there will be NO quick fixes and your goal WILL require effort.
The more specific the goal, the more attention we must pay to our body's needs versus our minds wants, prepare for the highs & the lows (because yes there will be both), and keep our eye's fixed on the end result.
We recently came across an article on MindBodyGreen titled "8 Things I Wish I'd Known About Health (Before I Learned The Hard Way)" that we have found relatable to our team at OC's Fitness Playground as well as our family of clients. Enjoy!

Adjusting the Intensity of Your Workouts to Produce Better Results
by Madison Murphy
These days the majority of gyms and workout programs seem to be focused on high intensity exercise. The tougher the better, right? Well, not always…
A good workout program assesses a members ability level and then crafts a plan to help them reach their goals. High intensity work is not necessarily bad, but its not the only piece of the puzzle. Ideally, people should learn proper movement, build a solid foundation and then move onto to more advanced or intense workouts.
How Does "Progression" Fit Into Our Workouts?
A progression is a training routine that emphasizes progress and improvement, in safe and effective steps.
For example, if you havent worked out for a few years, throwing a bar overhead and sprinting, is probably not the best way to get started. Your body is not prepared for such advanced activities.
A better approach would be to assess your current strengths, weaknesses, movement patterns, mobility, conditioning level, etc and then design a program that slowly introduces movement back into your routine. As you improve, we can add more volume and/or intensity to your program.
Below are some examples of how we walk people through this process at Innovative Results
Stability is the ability to maintain and control joint movement or position. Stability is important in everyday life and used almost all of the time. Just standing requires either conscious or subconscious control of the muscle of the core, legs and back. At Innovative Results we help our clients improve their stability by utilizing exercises that enforce proper movement patterns and challenge balance and coordination. Over time, this can solidify weak links and teach proper technique before we add more intensity.
Some of these are:
- Single leg drills
- Plank Variations
- Single Arm pushes/pulls
- Balance work
- Isometric work
Strength the ability to carry out work against a resistance... People can use their bodyweight, dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, sandbags and other implements to develop more strength. Everyday actions are easier when one increases his/her muscular strength.
Common strength exercises include:
- Pull ups
- Presses
- Deadlifts
- Squats
Unlike a bodybuilding program the IR3 Progressions help to build functional strength. Functional strength helps get us through life and daily survival. Getting stronger in the deadlift, for example will help someone lift boxes, suitcases and children with greater ease. Our clients are prescribed strength training progressions and their progress is measured as they move toward their goals.
Power is the ability to apply high amounts of force in a short period of time. Although it may be said that not everybody needs power, it is certainly useful for athletes and is actually helpful for everyone.
At Innovative Results we include power training in our progressions. From professional athletes such a MMA fighters, weekend warriors and 'average Joe's power is beneficial to functionality. Pulling your child out of the way of a speeding car or a shot-putter throwing with all his might, power is required to perform these actions quickly and forcefully.
Common power exercises include:
- Sprinting
- Jumping
- Throwing
During our three week progressions at Innovative Results our client's stability, strength, and power is tested, measured and improved to enhance performance and monitor success. We believe that designing a progression based on a variety of these aspects is the most effective way to attain positive results in the gym. Some days are high intensity, some are low, allowing our clients to recover, improve and get better, not just tired.
Innovative Results is the premiere personal training gym in Costa Mesa, CA. Their unique training programs and attention to detail has people all over Southern California raving about their results.
Focus on Improving 1%, and You Will Have All the Success You Desire
By: Aaron Guyett
If you are reading this, you are success-minded.
You are interested, intrigued, and focused on your own success and probably the success of those around you.
That is reason enough to stop now and celebrate!
Okay, now I will give you the 1% to success…
The reason you opened this email.
What will you do this next week to improve 1%?
How will you adjust your time, energy, focus, or money, so that you achieve the EXTREMELY HIGH level of 1% improvement?
Think about it.
If you improved your situation by 1% every week, where would you be in a month? (4.33% improved)
How about 6 months? (26% improved)
How about a year? (52% improved)
Wait…How about 5 years? (260% improved)
This is the all important:
-Dedication to the basics
-Diligent change and growth
-Focused intensity with hard work, and patient endurance
Maybe your still convinced that 1% is not enough.
Besides pointing out almost every New Year's Resolution fail, and most of society's burnt out attitude because of trying to do too much too soon…
…let me illustrate with three areas of life:
1. Weight Loss
2. Strength Gains
3. Financial Wealth
If 1% improvement in weight loss is only a half of a pound:
-1 month, you have lost 2 pounds
-6 months, you have lost 13 pounds
-1 year, you have lost 26 pounds!!
-5 years, you probably don't even have 130 pounds to lose!!
If 1% improvement in strength is 5 pounds added to your 5 rep maximum of Hex-bar dead lifts.
-1 month, you have added 20 pounds to the bar.
-6 months, you have added 130 pounds to your 5 rep maximum.
-1 year, you are 260 pounds stronger
-5 years, you are now lifting most European cars (maxing out 1300 pounds over the start.
On the last two examples, there will be a point at which you may slow down, and then maintain, which opens up the possibility to pursue another slow and steady 1% goal…financial Wealth anyone?
If 1% improvement in financial wealth is investing $100 every week (email me for ideas to easily save $100 per week even if you are broke) into a consistently successful mutual fund earning a conservative 12%…(be prepared to be amazed)
-1 month you have $433.
-6 months you have $2600.
-1 year you have $5200.
-5 years you have $36,998.98 Whoa!!
*Bonus for extra patient endurance*
*30 years*
*You have earned $1,405,521.55.*
*You are now a millionaire, all you need is a little focus, patience, and time…*
So, the question is, what is your deepest need, want, and desire?
Now make your desire a weekly discipline, and you WILL succeed!
"It is our disciplines, not our desires, that determine our destiny."
Make your next 1%, your BEST 1%!

Noel is Down 17lbs & Headed to USMC Boot Camp
Hello everyone, my name is Noel Jimenez, and I am 23 years old.
My journey at Innovative Results began back in October 23, 2014. I was first told about OC's Fitness Playground by my recruiter. The recruiter had one of his enlistees attending Innovative Results and making really great changes and improvements through IR's Training, and as a result; went to boot camp and is now a Marine in the United States Marine Corps.
At the time I was ok with just working out and using a treadmill/elliptical for my every day workouts at LA Fitness. I was no longer losing any weight and had plateau at192 pounds. I honestly didn't believe I could drop, and reach my recommended weight of 165 to enlist and continue further. That first day at Innovative Results taught me one thing about myself; even though I had thought I had strength and mobility, I was wrong. All it took was the warm up of the workout to know just how weak I really was. I could not believe it, but continued to do the best I could.
As the workout progressed, not only did I struggle, but I had really bad form when executing movements. It was within that same workout that the coaches (Mark and Corey) kept checking on me to see if I was alright, and I was. During my first two workouts I got to talk a little more with Corey Beasley and Mark Elmasry about my goal for training at Innovative Results. Letting them know that I must drop weight to continue my enlistment; they told me I would have to talk to Aaron Guyett about setting a diet plan. Aaron Guyett is a Staff Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. Knowing that, I knew there would be challenges to come.
I first met him(Aaron Guyett) on October 27, 2014. After that workout, I had a long talk about what was expected of me in order to succeed. One of those changes was a diet with absolutely no soft drinks or heavy sugars, strictly water. As well as no regular rice, tortillas, red meats, pork, and food made at home. It was a really rough start for me to give that all up and replace it with the "healthy stuff". On top of that I was given a schedule to keep up with, if I wanted to get the best results. I had to do sprints known as 400's(quarter mile sprints) on Tuesdays. Starting at 4 laps and every week it went up one more lap until I got to 12 laps and then reset back to 4. Every lap had to be timed, and that same time was the amount of rest I had to take in order to do the next lap. On Thursdays I would be at the USMC recruiting center to train with our recruiters, and on Saturdays every other week it would be a mile run that was to increase one more mile every other week until I hit 8 miles and the same went for a hike with weight(done on the week after the mile runs), increasing from 20-40 pounds once I got comfortable enough to go up in weight. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday I would be training at Innovative Results.
At first each lap on the 400's would vary from 1:53 and up(no more than 2:05), a really slow time. My first mile run came in at 11:10 a slow time. Running/sprinting was one of my biggest challenges; I was never the type of person to go out, run or be active. From November to December, getting use to the diet and work out regiment was a bit too hard on me, but I kept my mind on why I must tough it out and continue moving forward. One of those ideas I kept in mind was if I'm not able to hack it, how would I ever hope to drop the weight and gain speed and strength. Towards the end of running miles or doing sprints I would be out of breath, but I continued to push myself through the pain knowing that it would benefit me in the long run.
Towards the halfway point of December I had just gotten use to the whole diet and workout regiments and lost ten pounds in two months. It definitely was helping, and I went from 192 to 182 in those two months at Innovative Results. As I continued to see improvement and major results I decided to go to Innovative Results Monday through Fridays from January to now (May 2015), while still doing the sprint and running regiment. By this time my body and aerobic capacity had gotten up to the point where I was able to do the sprints/runs after a workout at Innovative Results.
From late December 2014 to late February 2015; I did not go to the recruiting center to train with the recruiters, but continued to let my recruiter know that I am still in the game and have not given up; just bettering myself. Within that time frame I continued to do my workouts and sprints. Getting better at mobility, strength and speed. When I returned to the recruiting center in mid February (still as a guest) it had been close to three months since my last visit. I was just curious to see how running/sprinting, hiking, and Innovative Results had helped me.
It was no surprise, my first day back was a run uphill and downhill in Anaheim Hills; everything had improved a lot. Running/sprinting had given me more speed. Hiking had given me the leg power to go up and down the hills with ease. Innovative Results had helped me come down from 182 to 165, as well improve my mobility and strength to take on the exercises and plyometrics that were in store for those two hours of training. Not only did we do that hill up and down once, we took it on again and I was still fine. As a guest, I was able to keep up with the Marine Poolees and be right behind them. I'm not one to brag, but being one of few that was breathing calmly to others who were out of breath; I felt really great about myself. It was a great Thursday and only got better, my recruiter had asked me if I was ready to take the ASVAB, and the physical to follow; my heart raced, and I said Yes!
Knowing that I have been working so hard and continue to work hard to this day, I swore in on March 2, 2015 and was given my boot camp date of May 11, 2015. Two to three weeks after swearing in I had asked Aaron if there is anything I could do to better improve my strength and conditioning for boot camp and with just five weeks left he had given me an all new regiment. I stopped going to Innovative Results on Thursdays to attend PT at the recruiting center and Tuesdays became my mile split days and they always worked around three miles to improve my three mile run time for boot camp, but for Thursdays I had switched over to doing 400's before going to PT. On Saturdays I still did my hikes, no longer doing the mile runs anymore because I have built up my aerobic capacity to run up to 8 miles. In addition to that I was also given a five set workout for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at the end of every Innovative Results workout. At first it started off somewhat easy five sets of 6 pull ups, 12 push ups, and 24 crunches. As every week came by for the remaining weeks they increased in reps, and two days ago I finished my last of the progression sets: five sets of 13 pull ups, 26 push ups, and 52 crunches; toughest to pull off, and took almost an hour to finish.
All this self driven determination and help from all the wonderful coaches at Innovative Results, has helped me get to where I am today. From not being able to complete one pull up, barely finishing a mile; I now know that I can run my mile in 6:30(not 11:10), from no pull ups to being able to do 13 pull ups and an increased mobility and flexibility far better than when I first walked into Innovative Results. Thank you Nick, Mason, Corey, Mark, Aaron for all your coaching to getting me this far. Mark and Corey thank you for helping me when I had mobility issues and helping heal it. Thank you Aaron most of all for being the biggest motivator to helping improve my speed and strength. From sprinting 400's in 1:53 to 1:08~1:14. To running miles under seven minutes. No amount of thanks could ever own up to how grateful I am for all the hard work and inspiration you have all given me. In boot camp I will continue to make "my next one, my BEST ONE!!!" Thank you!!!
Why Exercising Is a Higher Priority Than My Career
"If exercise stops, then everything else will start falling apart" – Joshua Steimle
Just who is Joshua Steimle?
An entrepreneur, a father, a friend and most likely YOU.
Mr. Steimle recently wrote an article for the TIME's discussing the "prevalent attitude among entrepreneurs that business, whatever that business is, comes first. It is the high priority that trumps everything else, including family, friends, and especially health."
Maybe you are an entrepreneur, or maybe you are a mother, father and/or just work dang hard at your job. The point is, it is easy for each of us to start to prioritize and make sacrifices that usually lead to a decline in our health.
8 Ways To Get Out of Your Emotional Slump with Innovative Results
Even coaches and leaders get into emotional slumps…and I was in one recently–NOT COOL, and most definitely NOT GOOD if you have people that rely on you!
How did I know I was in a slump?
- Getting up in the morning was a chore, and I didn't become fully awake, alive, and energized until about 7am, which is THREE HOURS and 15 minutes INTO MY DAY!
- I felt like I wasn't productive or high-performing.
- My training sets were barely finished, and lower performing than the earlier weeks.
- I craved sugar, beer, wine, and crappy food.
- Water sounded gross.
- My time with God and relationships in life felt disconnected or disjointed.
Why did this happen to me?
Not the greatest question to ask in the middle of a slump, unless you want to play the victim, and spend more time in your slump. Taking responsibility for yourself and confronting the brutal facts is top priority if you are going to make it out.
I am not sure if it was because I was in an ethereal-spiritual-philosophical haze of having a brand new baby girl or not working for over a week (I still worked, but very little compared to my normal) or it was just my time to experience a low week or time…but I was down.
Here is what I do to help me pull out of the downward spirals (which have been known to happen to me about once every three months or so, and are much shorter lived than in my past):
- Smiling- Smiling has been shown to change the state of a person by many studies that I have read and researched in a very small amount of time. This takes a choice and an action. Here is a great Innovative Results video on the power of a smile:
- Drinking enough water- Too many times I was down because of dehydration, only to realize that a few glasses of water, picked me back up to full speed again. Here is another Innovative Results video on hydration.
- Eating Healthy Foods, not Foods that my Stress Desires- I have a MAJOR sweet tooth (it is such a problem that my wife has to hide any sugar items if she wants to enjoy them in moderation, because she knows I will SMASH a whole bucket of sugary stuff at night to satiate my horrible cravings). Eating junk foods: anything that comes in a box, bag, or is ordered through an electrical communication device is not going to pull you out of your emotionalor energy slumber. It is going to crank you up into a euphoric cloud, and then drop you deeper than you were before. CHOOSE FOODS THAT GOD MADE, and if man has messed with them RUN AWAY!! Here is an Innovative Results video on meal preparation and nutrition:
- Prayer and Meditation- In my personal experience, I have felt relief by handing over the issues to a power greater than me. I have also read many studies and books in my Masters on leadership Studies that displayed empirical studies and experiential observations that prayer and meditation helped the individual in their spiritual, physical, mental and emotional states. Here is an Innovative Results video on thankfulness and breathing, which can be both prayer and meditation:
- A little bit of daily exercise goes a long way- Again, too many studies have proven that this is one of the BEST ways to FEEL BETTER! Here is an Innovative Results video with an exercise you can do anywhere, and you will feel better afterward:
- Daily Affirmation, Scripture Memory, Direction, and Vision Board Daily- Even when I am bored with it, or bummed out. I have heard it said, that 'grace cannot be earned, but it is not opposed to effort.' By Dallas Willard, and I think the individual plays a major role in what happens to us in this amazing Universe, despite your belief system. Here is an Innovative Results video for your success, where we share our belief in you:
- Relationship with God and Others Renewed- An planned intimate venture with the one's you love, or the one's that love you can really help carry you out of your hole, and give you a breath of life! Here is an Innovative Results video, where we share our appreciation for our relationship with you:
- Simplify- Just take one moment or task at a time. The last steps out of my slump, was repeating to myself, "I can. I will. I must." "Just do one task." and "I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength." Phil 4:13 These three simple phrases, helped me to two simple things (get rid of all the dirt that was in my backyard, and write an email). Here is an Innovative Results video where we show you how simply improving your posture has HUGE implications in the improvement of your mood and motivation:
Afterwards, I felt the grip of dark emotions and slowed energy lift from me, and become replaced with what I describe as my high normal (feeling awake, alive, and energized…fully capable, competent, and confident…READY TO SMASH…Ready to LIVE!…READY TO SERVE…Joyfully praising through my life's purpose.
I believe that every slump and down part of our life has much to teach us, just like failure and winning has much to teach us as well.
If you have read and watched your way to the end of this article, I hope you already feel better, and I am looking forward to fighting the good fight with you this day, week, and life!!
May your mood be lifted, your dreams be tangible, your actions be swift, and your days be blessed beyond belief!
Make your next one, your best one!

Experience the Transformation of Yoga at Innovative Results
As of April 2015, Innovative Results now offers Yoga at the Orange County Fitness Playground.
Innovative Results and our dedicated team is here to bring you an Improve Quality of Life, and if you are committing to a positive transformation so shall we!
Meet the newest member of our IR Team, and YOUR IR Yoga Instructor, Aubrie Pohl!
A profound self-transformation begins to conjure from within when we take diligent action towards our bodies' health. We learn that it goes beyond stretching or performing exercises, goes deeper than the external aesthetics. These movements manifest an internal cultivation, a commitment to improve our quality of life. Through Innovative Results and yoga, we experience the external and anatomical effects, as well as internal physiological and psychological effect of the trainings and practice. Yoga is a powerful tool to liberate us from where we are restricted- in body, mind, and heart- to experience life in the most organic and whole way. How do we find such great transformation in what may look like moving the body into unusual positions? By experiencing life with a deeper awareness. We introduce mindfulness into our lives; the active participation of every movement, every thought. We steady our breath to steady our thoughts, and feel the sensations throughout our body. Yoga moves the human body in a detailed manner to create movement in the fascia, length in the muscles, and balance. We experience balance between joint stability and mobility, between muscle contraction and relaxation, and balance between the left and right sides of the body. Once we start to create that balance inside the body, by default, we create that balance outside the body. The path of yoga goes beyond the physical postures, its a chance to meet your body where it is each day without judgment, to take the right steps in the right direction. We learn to embrace the flow of progress and focus on enjoying each experience as part of the bigger journey.
Every person is unique, and due to our individual anatomy and physiological history, different movements compliment the different skeletal variations. Innovative Results and yoga introduce a progressive structure, accessible at any level, and appealing to anyone with a desire to improve the quality of their life. They are movement systems designed to help people improve strength, flexibility, coordination, mobility, and body control. Through a playful exploration of movement available in the human system we create an intimate relationship with ourselves. Every posture or exercise is an opportunity to grow a deep level of awareness throughout your body, to feel the mind to muscle connection. The more you scan your body, the better you will become at it, and you can start to recognize when something is out of balance. If any muscle is weak or tight it will affect the body segment to which they connect. Each joint is related to other joints and if one has a problem operating its functions, this will affect the functions of adjacent joints. At Innovative Results and during Yoga practice, we touch the entire body from the head to the foot, from the right to the left, without leaving any part out. The reason we emphasize movement exploration, strength, mobility, and body control is for the application to daily activities. If there is fascial restriction in the shoulders, you'll have a difficult time reaching overhead to get something from a shelf. If you aren't flexible enough to touch your toes, it will be difficult to bend down and tie your shoes. By progressively moving through our optimal range of motion and with patience to take one step at a time, we will create a foundation that can positively affect our health, prevent injuries, and heal our bodies. Innovative Results and yoga greatly compliment each other, adding strength to stretch and stretch to strength, allowing us to look better, feel better, and move better to reach our potential greatness.

The three-disc set of Damages' second season features a healthy selection of extras for series devotees to enjoy. Writers and creators Glenn Dessler, Daniel Zelman, and Todd Kessler are featured on commentary tracks for four episodes, and they're joined by members of the cast on each: Byrne (who may surprise some with her Australian accent) and a wry Olyphant on season opener "I Lied, Too"; Danson on "They Had to Tweeze That Out of My Kidney"; Donovan on "Look What He Dug Up This Time"; and Close on "Trust Me." The creative team is also front and center for Season Two: Post Mortem, which is informative for those wondering how the producers and writers work with the show's nonlinear format; the cast is the focal point for Character Profiles, which features short bios and chats with the main players. A battery of deleted scenes round out the set's supplemental features. --Paul Gaita
One very interesting show.....wow....difficult to predict what is just around the corner. Love it!!Published 7 months ago by Studio M

Raised on a farm, and though I'm not sure why I mention it here because I really haven't seen too many women list this a trait they are seeking in a man, I know how to neuter a lamb. Ink, disease, tobacco, cologne, SSRI, and drama free. Prefer riding my bike to driving my car (and no, I don't wear Spandex, at least while biking). Originally from northern New England. According to Briggs Myers I'm INFJ. According to Bristol Myers I can improve this by taking some of their products. No workplace related accidents for 229 days. Maintain a well-oiled sense of irony. Play the guitar. More of an early bird than a night owl. Spend far too much time pondering things like the difference between an adage and a quip, and why we use the term "spitting image" to say somebody looks like another person. Gorgonzola is my favorite name of a cheese. Kind, passionate, sincere, devoted and playful. Handy in the kitchen. Equipped with the usual frustrating male factory default settings. Honest communication is the coin of my realm. Things I do not suffer gladly (in no particular order): fools, hypocrites, mean people, and lima beans. Believe exercising the mind, body and spirit is the pathway to personal growth. Mozart and Awolnation on my iPod. Non-fiction on my nightstand. No moldy science experiments in my fridge. A neat freak. All photos are guaranteed fresh, 100% organic and animal testing free. The Fine Print: I have children and even though they live full time with their mom in AZ, they are very much a part of my life. If you are not open to potentially having my guys become a part of your world, then we absolutely will not work. Looking for a woman who wants to meet where we ARE, who is emotionally and physically available and who is interested in illuminating the inner workings of our souls. I'm down for doing anything you enjoy, however, if you're not in to playing hooky - grabbing a book, a blanket, and a picnic, and heading to beach for the day, we are NOT going to be a match. Willing to bet you've never met someone with an eclectic background like mine... Cheers!

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions have opened themselves up to being criticized, failing to meet relatively high expectations so far.
Lions know winning is the way to get respect back
Since barely beating St. Louis in Week 1, Detroit has dropped three straight games.
That isn't what anybody envisioned.
"You're a great team one week and the worst in the league the next," quarterback Matthew Stafford said Wednesday. "That's the way the NFL is and that's why you can't get too high or too low. We started 5-0 last year, we had to battle our way to 10-6 to get into the playoffs.
"It's a humbling business."
The Lions began the season with high hopes, and not just from within their locker room. Most of their players are back from last year's team that broke the franchise's 11-season playoffs drought.
Detroit hasn't been able to repeat its formula for success from 2011.
Stafford and Calvin Johnson haven't connected on one touchdown — they had eight together through four games a year ago — and Detroit's defensive front isn't harassing QBs to help its secondary as it did early last season.
To make matters worse for the Lions, they're the first NFL team since at least 1940 to allow teams to score on a kickoff and punt return in consecutive games.
And, it's not going to get any easier.
Detroit (1-3) will have a hard time avoiding a five-game skid with two tough road games coming up against teams that are tied for the lead in their divisions: Philadelphia (3-2) on Sunday and Chicago (4-1) eight nights later on Monday Night Football.
Since a strong start last season, the Lions have lost 10 of 16 games, including an NFC wild-card game at New Orleans.
Defensive end Cliff Avril said it is way too early to write off the team.

The Ridgway junior varsity volleyball team was honored with a banquet Tuesday night at Francis S. Grandinetti Elementary School.
JV head coach Robin Barclay expressed appreciation to her family and spoke about the life lessons to be taught with sports.
"We started out the season with five sophomores, five freshman and two juniors," Barclay said. "I believe sports can teach some real life lessons. As coaches, Janet and I try to highlight those as they come up."
COCHRANTON – The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders saw their season come to an end with a 3-0 loss to the Maplewood Lady Tigers in the opening round of the PIAA Class A volleyball playoffs. A number of parents and fans also made the trek to Cochranton High School to cheer on the Lady Crusaders.
The Ridgway soccer programs were honored with a banquet Monday night at the Ridgway Area High School cafeteria.
The boys soccer, girls soccer and junior high soccer programs were all honored. Each team had a scholar-athlete award recipient. The boys soccer scholar-athlete was Bryce Dias and the girls soccer scholar-athlete award winner was Rachel Smith. The junior high soccer scholar-athlete award winner was Anna Cristini.
Rachel Guyer of Ridgway finished as a state medalist after an eighth-place finish at the 2014 PIAA Cross Country Championships held on Saturday at Parkview Cross Country Course in Hershey.
It drew runners from across the state, including both the Elk County Catholic High School girls' and boys' squads and four runners from St. Marys Area High School.
Guyer finished eighth in a time of 19:40.
EMPORIUM – One team, one mission, one AML championship.
Ridgway football captured its first Allegheny Mountain League championship since 1993 with a 28-21 win over Cameron County in the AML Championship Game Friday night at Cameron County High School.
Elk County Catholic is wasting little time in advancing through the District 9 volleyball playoffs.
ECC made it two sweeps in a row in the playoffs with a 3-0 (25-8, 25-14, 25-13) victory over Curwensville Thursday night in a District 9 Class A quarterfinal match held at Elk County Catholic High School.
Elk County Catholic volleyball moved to 15-0 overall and moved forward to the District 9 Class A quarterfinals with a 3-0 (25-7, 25-5, 25-12) victory over Ridgway Tuesday evening at Elk County Catholic High School.
The Ridgway Lady Elkers (No. 16 seed at 6-10 in the regular season) had little trouble Monday night as they defeated the Northern Potter Lady Panthers (No. 17 seed at 6-8 in the regular season) 3-0 (25-21, 25-15, 25-22) in a play-in game for the District 9 Class A playoffs.
BROCKWAY – Same opponent, same venue, same round of the playoffs as last season.
Unfortunately for Ridgway girls soccer, it was the same result too.
An overtime goal for DuBois Central Catholic gave the Lady Cardinals a 1-0 win over Ridgway in the District 9 Class A girls soccer semifinals held Monday night at Frank Varischetti Field in Brockway.
JOHNSONBURG – After two failed attempts, the Johnsonburg Shamrocks didn't need any Lucky Charms to find the Cereal Bowl championship pot of gold by the end of Saturday night.
Johnsonburg built a 30-point lead in the first half and was able to take the varsity Cereal Bowl 43-15 over Ridgway at Memorial Field in Johnsonburg.

Leaving a review in the App Store helps pay it forward, letting potential buyers know that an app has fans. Here are the four most recent Highland reviews: three raves, and one disappointed user.
Every Friday this summer, we'll be featuring exclusive scripts in Weekend Read. This weekend's scripts include National Treasure, I Fucked James Bond, and my pilot Chosen.
Most of the support emails we get are about problems. Something isn't working right, or is confusing, and a customer needs help. Roughly once a week, we'll get a support email that is, well, supportive. So I thought I'd single two of them them out, both to thank the users who took the time to write them and encourage everyone to tell developers when things are great.
Our two major screenwriting apps have updates out this week, fixing minor bugs and annoyances.
Craig and John talk with the owner of Scripped.com to investigate what happened when the online screenwriting site suddenly went down this week, erasing four years of screenwriters' work. When things went south, why did he try to distance himself from the debacle, and what comes next? It's a candid discussion — but far less uncomfortable than the Final Draft episode.
Craig and John wrap up many plotlines from previous episodes, with follow-up on Three Page Challenges, diversity numbers, Road Runner and other rules, plus the Gravity lawsuit in light of the Blurred Lines verdict.
John and Craig discuss this year's screenplay Oscar winners, including the success of Birdman's outside-the-box approach and Graham Moore's speech.
In some cases, you'll absolutely want to use (cont'd) to indicate a character is still speaking. But it's not always the right choice, which is why we don't do it automatically in Highland.
Weekend Read, our app for reading screenplays on the iPhone, will be adding two much-requested features in the next major update: iPad support and syncing through iCloud.
A screenwriter friend just emailed me to ask how she could get one of her scripts to look good on the Kindle. You can't. It's the wrong tool for the job.
Weekend Read, our app for reading screenplays on the iPhone, now features scripts from 21 of this year's award contenders.
After four years of discussion, three complete do-overs and two print runs, we finally launched Writer Emergency Pack. It's a deck full of useful ideas to help get your story unstuck.
Highland's manuscript mode that strikes a good balance between helpful and distracting. It's perfect for writing your NaNoWriMo novel — and it's half-off through November 7th.
Highland runs great under Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite. In fact, we've been running Highland with the Yosemite betas for months, so the past few builds all run fine. Except for a few small UI changes (such as using the green dot to go full-screen), you won't notice any significant differences.
We've re-opened the John August Store with new shirts for Scriptnotes and Highland, plus our first ever hoodie.
This week, Craig and John tackle listener questions.
Less IMDb, our browser extension for de-cluttering IMDb pages, recently broke. Version 1.3.1 restores the magic.
Highland features a robust and customizable Dark Mode, which can come in handy.
Over the weekend, we sold the most-ever copies of Highland, thanks largely to the Mac App Store's "Explore Your Creativity" promotion. With new users come new questions to the support desk, including this one I'm surprised never came up before: Is there any way to see two pages side-by-side in the preview? There is! In […]
Apple asked Highland and several other screenwriting apps to be part of their Explore Your Creativity promotion on the Mac App Store. It's a great time to check out these apps at discounted prices, and perhaps pick a new favorite.
In their first-ever live streaming episode, John and Craig open the mailbag to answer a bunch of listener questions.
Bronson Watermarker PDF is our first effort at internationalizing an app. The process was mostly smooth, but not without some surprises.
This past Friday, download numbers for Weekend Read shot through the roof for no apparent reason.
Craig and John take a swing at several of the week's hyperbolic headlines, from conflict-free comedy to Fitzgerald's failures to Strong Female Characters with nothing to do. In each case, there's a valid idea lurking beneath the overstated claim, but it's important to separate good examples from bad.
Storyboard Fountain lets you write and storyboard your film simultaneously.

About the Book
Most of us fall into one of three categories: those still on a quest to please God, those who have given up trying because they realized they cannot accomplish what they're being told pleases God, and those who don't even bother trying in the first place because the task seems too daunting. How would each of those groups be affected if we found out those "tasks"—the things we think impress...More
Trailer Videos
We are busy. Distracted. Consumed with this present life. Comfortable to rest on a foundation built with many assumptions. Stop. Take a moment. Consider some "what if" scenarios.More
Sample Chapter
Six years ago I had a near-death experience that shook me to my core. Why? It was because I assumed that I was a good Christian because I was doing all I thought was required of me. In the horrible moments when I felt life slipping away, the realization that I had completely missed it hit home—hard. That feeling is simply indescribable with mere words. An agonizing scream would be much more appropriate.More
