Snapkeys Si Invisible Keyboard Gives The Finger To QWERTY On Touchscreen Devices.
- Jordan Crook, TechCrunch
In order to try and keep things accurate, the app uses a unique word processing technology to determine what you're trying to type based on the keys you use.
- Emily Price, Mashable
A really cool part of SnapKeys Si is its video and gaming app, where the keys overlay so users can comment on YouTube videos as well as talk smack to their opponents while gaming.
Rather than simply mimicking the input methods we've all grown accustomed to, SnapKeys has gone back to the drawing board to create something better.
Due to the simplicity of typing with SnapKeys, it supports various levels of visual transparency and can even be made fully invisible, so typing within apps can be done unobtrusively.
Snapkeys, which uses the tagline "take back your screen," hopes to enable users to enjoy the display on their mobile device without the interference of an on-screen QWERTY keyboard.
Radical New Approach to Keyboard Technology Empowers Consumers to "Take Back their Screens – opening mobile social interaction" in Time for the Holidays
Frankly, I expected it to have a steep learning curve and be little more than a gimmick, but that was not the case. After a few minutes of familiarization, I was able to enter text nearly as quickly as I can on the stock Android keyboard. I can easily believe that an experienced user could type faster with Snapkeys than a traditional keyboard.
This is a premiere: the first invisible keyboard app, that strays away from the standards QWERTY keyboards. Behind this keyboard is a lot of research and a rich portofolio of patents.
SnapKeys... it's different than the standard keyboard we are accustomed to seeing.
- Lenise Ligon, FOX 10tv
Snapkeys brings invisible keyboard to Android, looking to break world speed records.

My picks really have changed over the past few weeks. This must have been one of the best editions of Miss International ever, coverage-wise and the quality of the girls competing in this pageant.
Ecuador - Miss International 2011
I can say that Maria Fernanda Cornejo is one of the most consistent girls here in Miss International 2011. Ecuador may not be that remarkable in placing in Miss International, but I can say she's the one to beat in this competition. She is stunning and I can feel that another Latina will win the crown this year. If I will judge it objectively, this competition is really between Ecuador and Venezuela.
Venezuela - 1st Runner Up
Another favorite, even by the MI Organization and people in China is Jessica Barboza. I just can't resist her charm, her beauty, and her wittiness. I think she would make a great Miss International. She has it all on her hands.. The only drawback here is that Venezuela just won last year. But who knows? In Miss Universe and Miss World, a back to back win was already made possible, maybe Miss International will have its first back to back win this year, because really, Jessica should win this hands down.
China - 2nd Runner Up
She is cute and pretty, definitely not Miss International material but I think she would place this high because the pageant is held in China again. To be fair, she deserves a Top 15 placement, but for sure an asian will be up there in Top 3 and she has the greatest chances of making it. She is even better than Miss China last year who also placed in Top 3, so she is sure of a placement. She can even win this, and that would be a controversial win.
Rest of Top 15 (In No Particular Order)
* Russia - I like her face, she is very stunning and very delightful to look at. I think she was already noticed. Definitely one of my sentimental faves.
* Vietnam - For me, she is the best asian in the competition, but its quite fast if she'll be a Top 3 this year. Vietnam had only one placement in the entire Miss International. Anyway, anything is possible here in Miss International, but China would be her rival for that Top 3 position.
* France - One of my favorite European this year, she is great in candids and I like her presence. If a european country will be in Top 3, she is very well deserved. Moreover, I think France is noticed in this pageant and sash works well.
* Colombia - Natalia Valenzuela is one of my early favorites, she lagged behind but of course she is still worthy of a Top 15 placement, I even think she can be a Top 3 placer knowing that latinas are well appreciated in this pageant.
* Spain - This country is a powerhouse in Miss International so I think it will add more chances for her to be included in the Top 15. Hence, she is also gorgeous and statuesque.
* Philippines - Im so satisfied with her performance in Miss International, I must say she gave a good fight. She might be in the Top 3 but she will be definitely face tough competition. In Asia alone, she has so many rivals.
* Japan - I think Japan's 18 year consecutive placement will continue, she is a very likeable girl, her only weakness is her height.
* Slovakia - She has a very unique face, but at the same time its so beautiful that would get your attention. She is very noticed in this competition and I think she's a shoo in for Top 15.
* Poland - She is just stunning in candid pictures, she is flawless and divine. I even thought that she could be in the Top 3 knowing that Poland had several runners up in this pageant.
* Indonesia - Reisa is another asian stunner, she's already 25 but she looks young. She is also getting attention in this pageant because of her porcelain skin and unique type of beauty for an Indonesian. She could be a Top 3 if things will work out fine.
* Sweden - Denice, beauty-wise is one of the most stunning here in competition.
* Panama - Another latina that is very worhty to place is Keity. Her beauty is unique, you can't see this type of beauty everywhere. I think she also have chances to be in Top 3.
Bolivia - Paraguay - Brazil - Ukraine - Thailand

The Adam's Apple Story
Thirty years ago, two entrepreneurial young men in California took a leap of faith and rented a beat-up old beauty parlor on Encino's trendy Ventura Boulevard. Their dream: to bring fine floral design to this up-and-coming Los Angeles suburb. The hard work of building a business was challenging and at times discouraging. However, their little flower shop with such humble beginnings was about to blossom.
As the neighborhood expanded, so did Adam's Apple (named, appropriately enough, after Adam Saxon, one of the two founders). In the 1970's, Adam's Apple became known by locals for its unique floral designs and extraordinary customer service. By the 80's, Adam's Apple Florist had become an industry leader throughout the entire Los Angeles area. Exciting new technology has helped Adam's Apple Florist expand dramatically in recent years; florists no longer have to rely on old-fashioned "wire services" to send flowers.
Today, Adam's Apple has affiliates in every major market; since we use our own network, we can ensure every order we handle meets our strict quality standards. In 2001, Adam's Apple Florist aligned with a prominent Los Angeles special event producer to compliment our thriving floral business. We now design and coordinate dream weddings, as well as producing social, corporate and Industry events.
Centrally located, Adam's Apple Florist personally delivers our custom-designed floral arrangements and gift items to every city in the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley Metropolitan Areas. Adam's Apple Florist offers daily deliveries to the following cities and communities in the Los Angeles area: Agoura, Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arleta, Atwater Village, Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Burbank, Calabasas, Canoga Park, Century City, Chatsworth, Cheviot Hills, Eagle Rock, Encino, Glendale, Granada Hills, Hancock Park, Hollywood, Los Angeles, Los Feliz, Malibu, Mid-City, Miracle Mile, Mission Hills, Mt.

Cloud Computing is a fantastic way to get access to world-class, extremely resilient and scalable infrastructure – for a pay-as-you-go price – with no minimum entry cost. However once you get past the initial win of getting access to Infrastructure as a Service rather than 'investing' in hardware it becomes clear that the Cloud has a few cost surprises.
So with that in mind, here is 10 Simple Steps to Reduce your Amazon Web Services – AWS - costs.
1. Scale DOWN as well as UP
Every application is different, and every business has different tolerances for uptime and performance. Find yours. Agree it. Lets say when an instance hits 80% CPU usage average for more than 5 minutes – you add another instance to your pool; and when it hits 20% usage average for more than 5 minutes, you terminate it. Set auto-scaling rules based on acceptable thresholds – and remember – auto-scaling is not only for scale-UP, you can scale down in line with business activity. Maybe you don't need your entire instance pool online at 10pm on Friday.
2. Pre-pay if you have a known minimum usage
For most people, the Cloud isn't about temporary one-off resources, it's a about not having to buy equipment, and getting access to a massively scalable platform, on-demand. That means there's likely to be a minimal load that will always be running. Figure out what this is, and buy Reserved Instances to match it. You can pay On-Demand prices in line with your Scaling, but for you minimal load, pre-pay for instances. You'll easily save 35%+ over 12 months.
3. Stop Your Instances!
Are you or your developers working 24×7? No? Then why is your dev environment on all the time? What about that payroll server that gets used once a month? Or your back office applications that get hammered from 9-5, and then nothing out of hours and at the weekends. If you shut servers off out of business hours, just as an example, you're going to save 70% of your costs (168 hours in a week : you should only pay for 40 of them in this case) - you don't pay for servers that are not running.
Bonus Tip: If you can't turn them off – resize them. Use an EBS volume and re-map it to a smaller server for those applications that need to be available 24×7, but whose load drops dramatically outside of standard hours.
4. Watch out for Waste – Cloud Sprawl
The Cloud is a variable resource, which means it's easy to add resources and forget about them. VM sprawl happens internally all the time – but the cost can be managed with periodic audits, whereas in the Cloud, you pay for everything – whether or not you're not using it. Prime examples here on AWS are Elastic IPs that you have detached from an instance, but have not released back to the pool – are charged per hour; also any EBS volumes you have mounted to instances, and then terminated the instance but forgot to get rid of the EBS volume, can start to add up.
5. Set Smart Alerts
Alerts don't only need to be used to in times of crisis. Set alerts based on a daily budget, or specific usage alerts per instance, or across your cluster. Use these to manage your costs when usage is below a certain amount – you should be able to reduce the resources you have deployed.
6. Cost is a proxy for Usage
Not to harp on about the variable nature of the Cloud, but it is the primary fundamental difference between Cloud Computing and On-Premise Infrastructure. Because it's a variable resource and your cost goes up or down in line with your usage – if your cost suddenly jumps up, or massively drops, it's likely that something unplanned has happened – either a mis-configured auto-scaling group, or script, or a few instances have gone off-line (and you're no longer billed for them …). Use Cost as a base level to monitor your Usage – you can do it right down to an hourly level – and get a feel for what the 'normal' is. Any deviations should be questioned.
7. Spot the Difference
AWS have a fantastic marketplace that sells off unused capacity for a (normally) heavily discounted price. Spot instances seem to run at an average of 40% of the on-demand price, so effective use of spot instances can save you big time. Not every workload suits this – but even aside from one-off data crunching jobs – adding spot instances to your pool makes a lot of sense if you want to 'average' a good performance benchmark, but you can tolerate minor service degradation in favour of the huge cost savings that can be made.
8. Understand Performance
Performance doesn't mean your CPU and RAM usage – those metrics are really only useful to see what your server is doing. What if your application is massively inefficient in how it's using those resources? Or a recent deployment has caused a memory leak, or processes to stall? Get a performance management tool to analyse your log files and events – and try not just to get a high level of usage from your infrastructure, but to make to understand what your application performance benchmark is, and how to map your costs against that line. This is really the holy-grail of effective Cloud management.
9. The Clouds 'Dirty Little Secret'
The web is abuzz about how Cloud enables startups to get going for near zero, and how businesses can now start AND SCALE in ways never before possible, the capital requirement to get up and running has completely left a startups financial model. Enterprises are disintermediating their IT departments and firing up instances so they can test new ideas and run their own applications. Great! But the 'Dirty Little Secret' is that Cloud is only cheap when you start; and only if you take advantage of its variable nature. For a static load – say 5 instances that run 24×7 at maximum efficiency – the Cloud can be more expensive that running managed or co-located infrastructure.
The major caveat here of course is that outsourcing is very attractive in most cases – but this is a common argument – the best Cloud use cases involve a hybrid model – we'll cover this in another post. Understand your total 'loaded server cost' which is how much your internal or colocated server costs to depreciate, maintain and power – and compare that to the Cloud – baring in mind it's not a like for like comparison unless you have a large redundant infrastructure in-house.
10. Know the Numbers
It's amazing how many people don't actually know the detail of their Cloud costs. What's driving change? What will the estimated cost this quarter be? If we add 1,000 users or records, how will that impact cost? How efficient is our usage? Its common for someone on the management team to press for budgeting and analysis too – especially as the cost grows month on month. (Hint: that's why we launched CloudVertical!)
In a later post I'll go into specific use cases and how to manage costs in a more granular way, but for now I hope the few simple tips above are the start to getting control over your Cloud costs.

This week, Lady Gaga is releasing her first perfume called "FAME," but you already knew that. Its official release is Wednesday, but as your resident boy beauty writer and secret super fan, I had to smell it sooner.
lady gaga
After working so indefatigably as a professional artist and advocate while remaining steadfastly recovered from an eating disorder, the biggest pop star on earth honored my efforts and shared my art with her 32 million Twitter fans.
lady gaga
My life would now be separated into two parts: Before Gaga Cancelled The Born This Way Ball and After Gaga Cancelled The Born This Way Ball.
You're the only one for me, Nina, even though I know you don't feel the same way.
Lady Gaga shows off some serious T&A for legendary photographer Terry Richardson in Couture Hogan McLaughlin. The vinyl corset top laces up the back with nude ribbons and the skirt is constructed from groups of triangles pieced together.
The case for a less Gaga gay icon.

Nothing on YouTube can bring me the happy quite like the amazing Timmy, performing in a pair of too-small Mickey Mouse pajamas and singing into a blackened banana.

It must be tough to be a lady-identified pop star these days. You can't writhe in your underpants for more than a minute before someone is popping up to let you know that you're stealing from Madonna.
lady gaga
Why I love the lady, but hate the songs.
Lady Gaga & Google are friends with many benefits. NO, NOT THAT KIND.
How will Kanye and Katy Perry's shades play at the Post Office and Pilates class?
When this non-famous person showed up to a baseball game in a Giants' jersey, fishnet stockings, and very little else, I didn't expect to be bullied.

How do you set the time on the Nike+ Fuel Band
- Asked by Georgeann H from Westlake

1 Answer from the Community
Open the Nike Fuel app on your phone and go into settings. There is an option in there to "send current time to device". A second later the time on the band will be the same as is displayed on your phone! It's great for when you travel and need to change time zones!

text: 2011 was filled to the brim with a great selection of high quality films, television shows and albums. While this was beneficial to the Team Video staff in terms of the entertainment we received, it also made it a little difficult to compile our end of the year best-of lists. Never fear, for we took this task quite seriously and have combined forces to present you with a comprehensive account of the things from the past twelve months that you absolutely must watch or listen to. Bethany and Allan clash on Midnight In Paris, Allan and I lose our minds over Drive, and opinions on Bridesmaids are all over the board. Bonus points to me for including three entries involving David Tennant! Check out the podcast streaming, download it or listen via iTunes. Happy New Year, and here's hoping 2012 is even better!

How To Make A List For Your Wedding Reception
A wedding is a very joyous occasion for both your loved ones and yourself. The following tips will help you make sure that your wedding is a wonderful and memorable wedding.
Finding your perfect wedding dress might be an expensive activity. When you shop for a dress, try dresses that aren't categorized as wedding dresses. A Bridesmaid dress can be a good fit, and it doesn't cost half as much as a wedding dress does. Even with alterations, the cost may still be less.
Religion is possibly the most influential aspect of your wedding ceremony.

Last year while in Detroit for the Movement Festival, mi hermanos Kai Alce, JT and I were invited to what we thought was a J.Dilla documentary viewing. Although it was a great body of work, it was hardly what we expcected. The whole movie was basically about an orchestra trying to learn play Dilla standards live. Like i said it was a cool movie. But while I'm in the D, any JD selections that hit my ear drums better be braking my neck due to nod factor and bass bumpin'.
That said, event organizers from last years DILLA premier should most definitely consider Brian Atkins J.Dilla: Still Shining. Recently announced by Gifted Films Inc, it's the footage and imagery that bless this documentary with an authenticity that is extremely unique. [Read more...]

The Baroque Palacio de Liria is the residence of the Dukes of Alba. It was completed in 1780 but rebuilt following the Civil War.
Museum of Art
In 1947 the financier Lázaro Galdiano left to the nation his rich art collection and his mansion, Parque Florido, in which the Lázaro Galdiano Museum was opened in 1951.The museum contains a huge collection, totalling some 9,000 items in 30 rooms on three floors. There is a wealth of arms and armor, coins and medals, jewelry, Gothic ivories, Baroque crystal, Italian terracottas, tapestries, fabrics and much more.
Museum of Art - Paintings
The collection of paintings to be found on the first and second floors is worthy of special mention.The Spanish school is represented by works by Coello, Antolínez, Carreño, Pereda, Herrera the Elder, Madrazo, López, Zacarías, G. Velázquez, Mor, Berruguete, El Greco, Ribera, Zurbarán and Murillo.In Room XXX there are pictures by Goya on display.The collection of Dutch and German paintings includes works by David, Joos van Cleve, Hieronymus Bosch, Brueghel, van Dyck, Rubens, Cranach, Gossaert, Koffermanns, Memling, de Vos, Quentin, Massys, Schaffner and Pourbus.English painting is well represented by works by Reynolds, Romney, Gainsborough, Hopper and Constable.
Museum of Art - Craft collections
On the third floor there is a craft collection which includes textiles, weapons, fans, medals and coins.
Estadio Santiago Bernabéu
The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium lies in the most modern development zone in Madrid, where new tower blocks, shopping centers and underground garages have transformed the Paseo de la Castallena into a busy traffic artery throbbing with hectic life and activity. Seventy years ago this area, now given over to asphalt, steel and concrete, was occupied by a scatter of suburban houses and unbuilt land. Here in 1923 Madrid's first football club, the Real Madrid Fútbol Club, established its first ground. It could accommodate 22,500 spectators and had a roofed stand with straw-bottomed chairs for important guests. In 1944 work began on the construction of a larger stadium in keeping with the importance of the country's leading football team. The new stadium, completed in 1946 and named after the founder and Chairman of Real Madrid, has room for 125,000 spectators. It was renovated and modernized for the 1982 World Cup.
Palacio El Capricho (Alameda de Osuna)
Alameda de Osuña, also called El Capricho, is a former mansion about which many tales are told. The little lakes and pools in the park and the "House of the Old" are especially charming.The garden was created by Duchess of Osuna in the 18th century. Between the entrance and the neo-classical palace is a formal garden with parterre, fountain and exedra with a bronze figure of the duchess surrounded by sphinxes. To the south is an informal woodland garden with maze, shady walks and orchards. To the north is a landscape garden with an ornamental beehive, a temple of Bacchus and a figure of Saturn devouring his son. There is a stream flowing in to a lake where stands the tomb of the third Duke of Osuna. Another stream flows into the Dance Pavilion surrounded by a carpet of bulbs.
Open-air Sculpture Museum
Under the flyover which crosses the busy Paseo de la Castellana between the Paseo de Eduardo Dato and Calle de Juan Bravo is the municipal open-air Museum of Abstract Art, with work presented by leading Spanish artists.The display begins with works by Julio González and Alberto Sánchez, members of the avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s. The collection includes work by such leading contemporary sculptors as Andrés Alfaro, Pablo Serrano, Martín Chirino, José María Subirachs and Amadeo Gabino; notable are Eduardo Chillida's "Stranded Mermaid" and Joan Miró's "Mère Ubu".
Instituto Valencia de Don Juan
The Moorish-style villa of the art-collector Guillermo de Osma and his wife, Condesa de Valencia de Don Juan, houses one of the most attractive museums in Madrid, relatively little visited by tourists. The collection, founded in 1916, includes arms and armor, miniatures, Flemish tapestries, coins, autograph manuscripts, fabrics and jewelry. The pottery of the Spanish/Arab and Mudéjar periods is of particular quality, and the pictures include an El Greco and several early Goya drawings.
National Museum of Natural Sciences
A number of exhibits including ones on Geology, Paleontology, Zoology and Mineralogy, have been recently added to the museum.A wide number of meteorites are an exceptionally valuable part of the museums collection, as are the fossil of 550million year old gastropod and the numerous skeletons of other dinosaurs.A section displaying the evolution of humanity from Australopithecus onwards to Homo Sapien Sapien.
Paseo de la Castellana
This wide avenue is the northern continuation of the Paseo de Recoletos, which itself is the continuation of the Paseo del Prado. In common with these two thoroughfares it is distinguished by a wide green dividing strip between the two multi-lane carriageways. Today it forms a focal point for the commercial and social life of the young city of Madrid, modern and emphatically European in its receptiveness to everything new.
Nuevos Ministerios to Plaza de Limal
The second section of the Paseo de la Castellana (Nuevos Ministerios to Plaza de Limal), which was designed in the 1930s, has new buildings interspersed throughout its length. The complex of buildings on the corner of the Plaza San Juan de la Cruz, called "Nuevos Ministerios", has escaped demolition. It was built in two stages, the first (1932-36), in its rationalist, classically inspired style, serving the first republic's need for an image, the second (1940-42) heavily influenced by the style of fascist monumental architecture.
The first part of the Paseo de la Castellana, the section Colón-Nuevas, was laid out in the 19th C. as an aristocratic suburb. Many of the palaces were later knocked down to make way for new buildings. Amongst these there are some outstanding examples of modern architecture, such as the Colón (Columbus) Towers of Antonio Lamela, whose building was completed in 1976.
Azca Center
The Azca Center is only a short distance from the exhibition and conference building, between the Paseo del la Castellana and the Calles General Peron, Raimundo Fernandez Villaverde and Orense. Built in 1967 to plans by Antonio Perpina, the building complex offers 20 hectares/240,000sq.yd space for commercial and entertainment facilities.
Picasso Tower
Inside the Azca Center is the Picasso Tower, completed in 1988 by the Japanese architect Minoru Yamasaki, which, with its 45 stories rising to a height of 150m/492ft, forms the new skyline of Madrid.
National Concert Hall
Completed in 1989, this concert center is the home of the Radio and Television Orchestras, as well as the Spanish National Orchestra, which was formerly based in the Teatro Real. In Hall A (Auditorio principal) there are over 2,280 seats, in Hall B, designed for chamber music, over 707. The center can also claim the highest international standards in terms of its technical and acoustical specifications.
Geomining Museum
The museum features six collections; Systematic Minerals, Mineral Resources, Minerals from the Autonomous Regions, Spanish Flora and Fossilized Invertebrates, Foreign Fossils and Fossilized Vertebrates. These includes over 3,500 minerals and 6,000 fossils.
Madrid 2
This is the largest shopping centre in the city. A glass construction of futuristic appearance in the district of El Pilar in the north of Madrid, it encloses a selling area containing 350 shops (including two department stores) in which all conceivable consumer needs are catered for.
Parque de la Vaguada y Centro Cibico del Barrio del Pilar
The Parque de la Vaguada y Centro Cibico del Barrio del Pilar has been laid out near the "Madrid 2" shopping center. This, the most recent park in the city is situated exactly where needed - in the newly formed and thickly populated La Vaguadad district. The new cultural center of the same name is incorporated in the layout.
Sorolla Museum
The art villa, built in 1911 by Joaquin Sorolla, houses some hundred works by this little-known impressionist painter, dating from 1890 to 1920. Of interest are the prestigious salon, a rural kitchen, a dining room with a decorative ''oranges and lemons'' frieze and the artist's studio.
Los Jardines de Sabatini
The terrace has a formal layout of clipped box hedges with a square pool and fountain surrounded by four Spanish firs. Equestrian statues flank generous steps that lead to a circular pool and a statue of Charles III.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a man on trial in Georgia was seeking to become famous as someone who survived a deadly bite from a black mamba -- but they say the story was a hoax.
John K. Rosenbaum Jr. of Jacksonville, Fla., is accused of touching off a desperate search for the snake in south Georgia after telling authorities he was bitten in November 2011. The snake is among the world's deadliest.
Rosenbaum is on trial this week in Brunswick, near Georgia's coast, on charges of making false statements to authorities, The Brunswick News reported (http://bit.ly/Wmjahp ).
His lawyer says he was delirious after being bitten by another snake -- a cobra -- and never intended to mislead anyone.
Rosenbaum was hospitalized after a bite from his pet Egyptian banded cobra, prosecutors say, but no black mamba was involved.
He showed up at a hospital in St. Mary's with two puncture wounds from a snake bite. He had the words "black mamba" and the name of the antivenom to treat the bite written in black marker on his arm, U.S. Attorney Shane Mays said in opening statements of the trial.
Rosenbaum told hospital workers he was bitten in the parking lot of a Wendy's restaurant along Interstate 95 in south Georgia, when the reptile got away from an animal seller he was meeting, Mays said.
Antivenom was found at the Jacksonville Zoo and rushed to Rosenbaum. The ensuing search for the non-existent black mamba took up more than 500 man hours and involved investigators with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Kingsland police and the Camden County Sheriff's Office, authorities said.
Defense lawyer James Newton contends his client was suffering from an extremely poisonous snake bite when he described what happened and did not attempt to mislead authorities.
"Because he was under the effects of medicine, (the evidence) will show reasonable doubt exists the statements were knowingly and willfully made," Newton said. Continued...
The trial in U.S. District Court in Brunswick was expected to continue Wednesday.

"Nurture, Empower, and Outreach" Focus Equips Women
for Ministry
A Ministry For Every Woman: Touch a Heart, Tell The World
"A Ministry for Every Woman: Touch a Heart, Tell the World" is a program developed by General Conference Women's Ministries to advance the work of sharing the gospel using the methods that Christ used.
There are three areas of focus when it comes to equipping, training, and inspiring women to serve: Nurture, Empower, and Outreach.
- NURTURE: Reach up - To help women in their devotional time and personal growth, enabling them to be nurturers in the church and community.
- EMPOWER: Reach across - To equip women for their activities and projects for the church and community.
- OUTREACH: Reach out - To help women use small group fellowship to reach others in their community.
GC Women's Ministries provides guidelines, ideas, and resources for each of these three areas of ministry. For more information click here.
EMPOWER: Reach Across
Outreach is for everyone! Do you believe that? Not many women believe that they can do outreach. But you can. Methods of evangelism come in many different sizes and shapes. It's not one size fits all; but we are confident that you will find a size that will fit you and through you God will win a precious soul to His kingdom.
The Outreach is for Everyone: Women's Ministries Evangelism Manual includes fifteen chapters. Each 60-minute chapter can be used as a training event for the women in the local church or for personal study. The material includes 15 PowerPoint Presentations.
This is a valuable resource to train and equip women for many types of evangelism. To download the material click here.
OUTREACH: Reach Out
The "Homes of Hope and Healing" program involves opening our homes to our neighbors for fellowship and learning. To download the matetrial click here……

I've joined my school's kendo club and go to club everyday including Saturday. But I was told that I didn't have to, but I am doing it as a hobby, so I choose to go as much as I can. As for your questions, it's definitely ESID. And even in the school. The best thing is to have your JTE ask if you can visit the clubs for a few minutes everyday to find which one you like, and then ask the JTE to ask for you what the commitment they expect from you is. Your school sounds pretty awesome if it has all those cool clubs! I'd love to go check out a lot of those clubs! ><

Sorry but very hard to believe there is not a bit of spin here...
Im placing my money on this is not the third snapped FW board but the first!
Putting aside the fact is hard to believe anyone could snap three FW,s in a year unless you either keep on doing one of a few things.
1. Started to learn airs and trying to land them in the flats or extremely shallow water, like a shore break, this will snap/crease any board.
2. Trying to do other turns on almost bare sand shore breaks or reefs.
3. Surfing very heavy waves.
4. duck diving in very shallow water or letting you board go in very shallow water
Sure you can snap boards in tiny waves but most of the time if you do the board is hitting the bottom in some way
And if its true than you would surely be snapping just as many if not more PU boards.
Sorry but I do find it hard to believe anyone who has also worked in a surf shop and has a degree of knowledge would after snapping two FW's, not buy a third one in FST instead being well known it is the stronger construction.
Its actually hard to believe anyone would actually buy the third FW board after already snapping two within a year, I love fW boards but i know i even wouldn't.
BTW. I lived on the Gold coast for years and surfed almost every day often a few times a day mostly burleigh, south straddie and the beachies in between and i only ever snapped one board a PU DHD in a 2ft shore break trying to do something silly that one last dry sand turn.
Anyway thats just my 2 cents worth.

What a match that was!!! Maria should have won the third set and the tourney easily when she was already 4-1 ahead but as usual she lost focus and let Li back in. I was worried for her health at times as the court was so slippery but obviously both players wanted to finish it asap.
The tie break was nerve wrecking. I was so nervous my heart was racing so fast. Maria just about won. If Li's ball hadn't gone out it could have swung the other way.
There was really no loser. Only difference is Maria got to take the trophy home.
I never used to like Li but after losing today's match so graciously (smiling and chatting at the net) I have warmed a little towards her.
It wasn't a great performance, it was one with a lot of up and downs, but in anyway she showed her amazing fight spirit to comeback from a set and 0-4 down and also saved a match point in the third set. So that's why I'm really proud of her, she fought back to get this victory. Great champions know how to win matches even when things aren't so good for them and Maria proved it today again!
I love her smile when she wins a tournament!
You're so interesting Imnumber2! Yes I said "I believe that Maria will beat Ana and Kerber" and now I
say it again, I believe that Maria will beat Li Na and win Rome tournament, again! Don't forget, that will be a really tough match because It's a Final Match!! Final match is so difficult for all players specially tennis players!Go Maria!
See! we made it happen Ali!!!
There is no better feeling than winning against such a tough opponent like Li in 3 SETS!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!
Congrats Maria!!
Yes Imnumber2. I said that "I believe that Maria will win Rome 2012" and now it happens!Well done Maria! Well done!Congratulation Maria, you did it!
Second that!
Let me add by saying that this is great win for Maria and Tom!!
This is Maria's most REMARKABLE win in a final EVER !! What a match with poor play at the beginning, her fighting spirit in set two, her concentracion problems in set 3, a helicopter over your head for most of the match, yelling soccer fans in the bach ground, heavy rain, close calls, wet lines and a funny match point !! My head of to Maria , after so many years she still surprises me. A true role model for many people around the world. Tomorrow at work, I will think of her as my role model in life. There are many things I have learned from her over the years, but above all NEVER EVER give up when life is tough !!
I am sorry but many tennis players cried at this tournament
Outstanding performance (mentally).
Congratulate both women, Li played the BEST TENNIS i've seen her play since she won the French last year, and Maria well, i seriously don't understand how someone can be that mentally tough and STUBBORN to lose a match! Remarkable!!
I swear, the 5-6 game in the third set was the best thing i've ever seen. So many twists, turns and they seriously brought the best tennis out in each other, even when they couldn't move 2 steps without sliding int the grand stand.
I don't care if it was the most scrappy final in recent year (actually, Cincinatti 2011 comes to mind) but the emotion that ran throughout the match made it definitely the most exciting match of the year.
Maria honing in on Vika now, even though she has a lot of points to defend till the US, i believe she is the true #1 (excluding he-woman of course)
Totally unrelated, but Ana looks so much hotter without her puppy fat now.
If you are hot, you don't have to cry but win tournaments.
Are you a cry baby????
Philli, I simply agree with what you said. Thomas indeed is the reason why Maria has improved so much. One thing that I really admire about Thomas everytime the camera is on him, is how calm he is. No matter the scoreboard, he is just calm, in yesterdays match when Maria was down 4-0 the camera shows Thomas, and he is not even phased by the fact that Li Na was simply destroying Maria. I was like "does this guy even care what happens on this match?". How wrong was I... this is the perfect reaction of a coach, to show that he never panics and he always believes and trusts that his player, with the proper instructions will deliver. Thomas's instructions coupled with Maria's will is indeed a dangerous combination!
I think Maria's decision to work with Thomas was the best decision she made post shoulder injury. Again I agree with you and well said Philli!
EDIT: Here is the final match point between Maria and Li. Such a beautiful thing to watch both Maria and Li laugh and hug after such a crazy match!! Again credit to Li she seems not only a wonderful player but also a wonderful human being!

The grape featured in this super crisp french white is none other than globetrotting Sauvignon Blanc. And while it is true that the region of Gascogne (located in southwest France) may not have the reputation and fame of an SB from the likes of Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé, what is does provide is pure, unadulterated drinking pleasure. And did we mention fun? A crisp mouthful of a wine that goes with lots of food, or with nothing at all, it's full of clean, refreshing and crisp characteristics, and it goes down remarkably easy! 12% abv.
