Install Android 2.3 Gingerbread AOSP ROM on Motorola Milestone
The Motorola Milestone, was originally shipped with Android 2.1 Éclair and while there have been various custom ROMs for the installation of Froyo on it, CyanogenMod 6 and GOT are amongst the title contenders for the best Froyo ROMs of the said device. Recently, XDA Developer user edgardcastro has ported the standard Gingerbread from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) to the Milestone, allowing owners to install the latest version of Android on their device.
Before you install this ROM, please keep in mind that this build is still under development and therefore, some bugs can be expected. Things like memory tuning and performance tuning are still pending, and will be included in further updates.
To look at the bright side, Milestone owners can look forward to a stable build of a custom Gingerbread ROM for their handsets sometime in the future. If patience is not one of your most polished virtues, please read ahead on how to get Gingerbread on your device.
The following issues are known to exist in the ROM and will be catered for in future updates:
- GPS not working. A-GPS works and it is suggested to turn off GPS Satellites location in system settings.
- Internal compass is showing inverted directions(North/South are switched).
- Video recording quality is not at its best yet.
Disclaimer: Please follow this guide at your own risk. AddictiveTips will not be liable if your device gets damaged or bricked during the process.
The method is the same as our previous post regarding installing Android 2.2 Froyo based CyanogenMod 6 on Motorola Milestone.
What you'll need:
- The Gingerbread AOSP ROM: AOSP GINGERBREAD) ShadowMOD-BR v2.3.2b2
- Open Recovery 1.46: Download Link
- The overclock pack: Download Link
Pre-Flash Setup:
- Extract Open Recovery 1.46 zip file.
- Copy "OpenRecovery" Folder and "Update.Zip" to SD card.
- Copy the Gingerbread ROM to SD card\OpenRecovery\updates
- Copy the Overclock pack to SD card\OpenRecovery\updates
- If you're upgrading from Éclair, you need to flash a 2.2SBF as described in this post. Froyo users can just go to the next step.
- Boot the phone into OpenRecovery 1.46 (method described in detail here)
- Perform factory data reset, wipe Dalvik cache and cache partition
- Apply the 'update-smbr-2.3.2b2-signed.zip' followed by the 'smbr-2.3.2b2-overclock-pack.zip'
- Perform factory data reset, wipe Dalvik cache and cache partition again.
- Reboot your device, and you're done!
Congratulations! You now have Gingerbread running on your Motorola Milestone!
For future updates and mature builds, stay tuned or head over to the XDA-Developers forum thread.

This is the mindset that most people are raised with. To them, there is a difference between the male sexual act versus the female. Naturally, this is insane since the men need to do it with someone. A woman needs to be present if a man is to engage in sexual behavior (omitting masturbation and homosexual relations).
I feel these beliefs are just another form of control. Women are suppose to be pure and virginal. Of course, maintaining this purity until after marriage is crucial. Again, if the same expectation, from societies perspective doesnt hold, is not present for a man, how is he to get laid if all women are pure. It makes no sense.
Here is an interesting illustration of the insanity of society. Have you ever wondered why prostitution is illegal in most states but making porn videos is acceptable? What is the difference? Aren't porn stars trading sex for money? Isn't that exactly what prostitutes do? I challenge anyone to tell me the difference.
In my mind there is no difference. And yes, I understand that the holy rollers out there agree with me on this. Of course, they feel that both are immoral and should be outlawed (one already is). I, on the other hand, believe that it is nobody's business. If someone wants to sell his or her body, that is that individual's choice.
What does any of this have to do with motivation or personal development. Well, my intention here is to point out the hypocrisy that society operates under. Societal conditioning is something that we all suffer from. Breaking free from its bonds is imperative if you are to live a successful life. Nobody ever mastered their life while living in chains placed by another. The sexual belief system is one of the ways the powerful seek to control the masses. They did it for generations.
I operate under the premise that society is selling a myth. What they promote as a path to happiness is not for most people. The average person is living in a manner that is far below his or her potential. Talents that could alter the world are left untapped because people buy into the ideas of others.
What separates me from the personal development experts is that I believe we should use all the desires that are within us. Most will agree that our sexual desires are the strongest that we have. Yet, society, in an effort to maintain decorum, overlooks this. We are expected to suppress these urges. This is ridiculous in my mind. I want to take whatever is within me and use it to my benefit. That is my ultimate goal.
In my book, Sexual Motivation, I spelled out how the sex desire usually is a means to one's destruction. Looking at men like Bill Clinton, Mark Sanford, and now, Tiger Woods, we see how they jeopardized careers and marriages. This tells me we are dealing with a powerful force. What is the potential if we used this force to our benefit instead of destruction? Do you think your life would change?
That is what Sexual Motivation is all about. It is a philosophy based upon the idea that society is way off base when it comes to its outlook on sex. Those who are successful decide to take matters into their own hands. They are the ones capable of breaking free from the herd mentality. The "Elite" choose to live life as they see fit. Succumbing to the desires of others is for fools. At the end of your life, you are the one who is responsible for the journey you traveled. Blaming others will not change anything.
So what is the difference between a slut and a stud? My answer is nothing. And, I applaud both people who are behaving in such a way because they choose to live like that. People are free to engage in their sexual desires as they see fit. I congratulate anyone who breaks away from the herd mentality. That is what Sexual Motivation is all about: FREEDOM.

Are we, as humans, capable of coping with the complex problems created by human progress? Population ageing and global warming are both challenges resulting from success. Globalisation too is hastened by man-made advances in technology and trade. But globalisation also brings great problems in its wake. Scanning this morning's papers provides a fascinating insight into the dilemmas we face.
On the national finance scale Geoff Mulgan and Will Hutton's piece in the Guardian calls for better regulation of banks to avoid further credit crunch fiascos. Individuals are just as vulnerable to the blows dealt by changes in the economic cycle, but thus far the benefits conferred to the banks have not been passed on to the individual – this is particularly important in terms of engendering public trust in national institutions.
In the FT, David Sproul and Bill Dodwell argue that the major companies are leaving the UK because they not only face relatively high corporate taxes, but are concerned that the treasury will tax certain kinds of overseas profit as well.
Reading these in conjunction reminded me of the debate around Joseph Stiglitz's new book Making Globalization Work, which was recently reviewed by Robert Skidelsky in the New York Review of Books. For globalisation to benefit the whole world, and for developed countries to be willing to make the adjustments necessary for global fairness, we will need to have better global regulatory organisations.
The question is – where is the political will to make this happen? If one country were to act on its own it would inevitably lose out in the global market.
A lot of this is about complex policy issues and institutional reform at a global level. But underlying this are questions as to whether we, as citizens of this new world, are able to understand its realities and able to give our leaders the scope to show leadership. The choices we as citizens make are just as important as those of our leaders.
As David Aaronovich points out in the Times this tension is playing out in the Clinton / Obama race. Interestingly both candidates are keen to be seen as progressives on the world stage, while at the same time offering protectionist policies to their electorate.
So while the main victims of globalisation are the poorest people, mainly living in Sub-Saharan Africa, the most vociferous opponents are the formerly skilled manual workers of the developed world.
Skidelsky argues that the problem with Stiglitz's book is that it doesn't recognise that you need to co-opt those people in the developed world that feel they're losing out, and show how they too can gain from globalization. Otherwise we have a globalised world governed by national imaginations.
Returning to a well worn theme the answers here must combine citizen-centric and government-centric solutions.
For example, we need new collective institutions (both in the real and virtual world) that help constitute a global civil society. Two examples of this are the fair trade movement, and, importantly, the Make Poverty History Campaign. Both are focussed in their scope but have had an impact on changing the way people think about their money and their 'stuff'. Globalisation will only work for humans if appropriately regulated. Regulation has to happen on a global scale. But leaders will not rise to this challenge unless we as citizens are more able to think globally ourselves.

The London Prodigal (Folio 3, 1664)
The London PRODIGAL
Written by W. Shakespeare.
1Enter old Flowerdale and his brother.
3Rother, from Venice, being thus disguis'd,
4I come to prove the humours of my son:
5How hath he born himself since my departure,
6I leaving you his patron and his guide?
7Unc. Ifaith, brother, so as you will grieve to hear,
8And I almost asham'd to report it.
9Fath. Why how is't, brother? what doth he spend
10Beyond the allowance I left him?
11Unc. How! beyond that? and far more: why, your
12exibition is nothing, he hath spent that, and since hath
13borrowed, protested with oaths, alledged kindred to
14wring money from me, by the love I bore his father, by
15the fortunes might fall upon himself, to furnish his wants:
16that done, I have had since, his bond, his friend and friends
17bond, although I know that he spends is yours; yet it
18grieves me to see the unbridled wildnesse that raigns over
20Fath. Brother, what is the manner of his life? how is
21the name of his offences? if they do not rellish altoge-
22ther of damnation, his youth may priviledge his wan-
23tonnesse: I my self ran an unbridled course till thirty, nay
24almost till forty; well, you see how I am: for vice once
25looked into with the eyes of discretion, and well ballanced
26with the weights of reason, the course past, seems so abo-
27minable, that the Landlord of himself, which is the heart
28of his body, will rather intombe himself in the earth,
29or seek a new Tenant to remain in him, which once set-
30tled, how much better are they that in their youth have
31known all these vices, and left it, then those that knew
32little, and in their age runs into it? Belive me, brother,
33they that die most vertuous, hath in their youth, lived
34most vicious, and none knows the danger of the fire, more
35then he that falls into it: But say, how is the course of
36his life? let's hear his particulars.
37Unc. Why I'le tell you, brother, he is a continual swearer,
38And a breaker of his oaths, which is bad.
39Fath. I grant indeed to swear is bad, but not in keeping
40those oaths is better: for who will set by a bad thing?
41Nay by my faith, I hold this rather a vertue then a vice,
42Well, I pray proceed.
43Unc. He is a mighty brawler, and comes commonly
44by the worst.
45Fath. By my faith this is none of the worst neither,
46for if he brawl and be beaten for it, it will in time make
47him shun it: For what brings a man or child, more
48to vertue, then correction? What raigns over him else?
49Unc. He is a great drinker, and one that will forget
51Fa. Obest of all, vice should be forgotten: let him drink (on,
52So he drink not Churches.
53Nay and this be the worst, I hold it rather happinesse in(him,
54Then any iniquity. Hath he any more attendants?
55Unc. Brother, he is one that will borrow of any man.
56Fa. Why you see so doth the sea, it borrows of all the (small
57Currents in the world, to encrease himself.
58Un. I, but the sea paies it again, & so will never your son.
59Fath. No more would the sea neither, if it were as dry
60as my son.
61Unc. Then, brother, I see you rather like these vices in (your son,
62Then any way condemne them.
63Fath. Nay mistake me not, brother, for though I slur
64them over now,
65As things slight and nothing, his crimes being in the bud,
66It would gall my heart, they should ever raign in him.
67Flow. Ho! who's within ho?
68Flowerdale knocks within.
69Unc. That's your son, he is come to borrow more
71Fath. For Godsake give it out I am dead, see how he'll
72take it,
73Say I have brought you news from his father.
74I have here drawn a formal will, as it were from my self,
75Which I'le deliver him.
76Unc. Go too, brother, no more: I will.
77Flow. Uncle, where are you, Uncle?within.
78Unc. Let my cousin in there.
79Fath. I am a Saylor come from Venice, and my name
80is Christopher.

83Unc. In truth would a serv'd, cousin, without the Lord.

I wrote a blog post about my decision to keep my children and husband out of the social media channels in which I hang out, including Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter.
A new situation arose this past week when I was attending a conference representing another company in my capacity as director. We spent four days with other directors and management, often in meetings but sometimes dining or touring.
We had the chance to pose for a photo and as a picture was snapped on my iPhone, one of the directors said "I'd better not see this on Facebook Heidi!".
There was absolutely no way that I would be posting that photo. But he didn't know that. And it got me thinking about the impression I make when I take a photo with my iPhone. I know that I'd never post it, but the people with me don't necessarily know that. If I'm snapping pictures here and there in my iPhone, am I make people nervous about what I'll do with the photos?
I think the answer is yes. There was nothing confidential about the photo but I know how I hate it when I'm caught in the crossfire of someone's photo or when images of me appear on Facebook without my knowledge. It's bad enough that my in-laws take a cottage photo every year that gets photocopied and mailed out to friends far and near in the annual Christmas letter (I've learned to make sure I'm looking semi-presentable when that camera comes out).
This experience created a second personal rule of social media:
Always ask before taking a picture of someone else, including people I know, and always explain that I won't be posting it on social media.
I want to be a responsible iPhone photo taker and a good friend and colleague. I don't want my companions wondering or worrying about what I'm going to do with the photos.
Sometimes it may be better not to take any people photos and help everyone feel comfortable. In those cases, I'll stick to scenery and photos of me and my food. It may not make for the most interesting set of photos but I care more about the comfort of my companions than the interest of my social feed.
What do you think? What are your personal rules about taking pictures of others and posting on social media?

Air Industry Gets More Time for Transition to ACE Air Manifest
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is providing flexibility for the trade community to test the Automated Commercial Environment air manifest system through June 6, when the Air Automated Manifest System will be phased out. In the meantime, CBP will continue routing trade manifest submissions to both ACE and AMS.
CBP states that in-bonds for airway bills of lading will continue to be filed via the QX/WX application for the time being, with the effective date for changing from QX/WX to QP/WP pushed back from May 1 to June 7. In addition, all ABI filers will continue to use the IN query to query air bills until the CQ query becomes available June 7.

Acid jazz, also known as club jazz, is a music genre that combines elements of jazz, soul, funk, and disco.[1] Acid jazz originated in the London club scene of the mid-1980s in the rare groove movement and spread to the US, Japan, Eastern Europe, and Brazil. Major acts included the Brand New Heavies, Incognito, Us3, and Jamiroquai from the UK and Buckshot LeFonque and Digable Planets from the US. The rise of electronic club music in the mid to late 1990s led to a decline in interest, and in the twenty-first century, the movement became indistinct as a genre. Many acts that might have been defined as acid jazz are now seen as jazz-funk, neo soul, or jazz rap.

Name and characteristics
The genre got its name in 1987 from Gilles Peterson, a disc jockey in London.[2][3] The name is a play on the acid house genre, which was popular in UK clubs in the 1980s.[4]
Acid jazz consisted of two related movements. The first was based on records released by DJs and producers that included rare jazz tracks, particularly from the 1960s and 1970s, often mixing them with percussion tracks and electronic dance beats.[5] The second were groups influenced by these recordings and who emphasised a groove-based approach to music.[4] Acid jazz uses elements of jazz, funk and hip-hop. Because of its existence as a percussion-heavy, primarily live music, it was closer to jazz than any other dance style, but its focus on maintaining a groove allied it with funk, hip-hop, and dance music.[6] The style is characterized by danceable grooves and long, repetitive compositions. Typical ensembles include horns, a full rhythm section (often with a drum set and additional percussion), a vocalist that may sing and rap and often a DJ.[7]
1960s origins
Acid jazz has its origins in the 1960s, when psychedelic styles were being incorporated into other musical genres, jazz being one of these. Some cite "Six Pack" and "Soul Fiesta" by The Apostles (1969) as acid jazz records during the 1960s.[8]
Origins in the United Kingdom
Acid jazz became popular in the London club scene of the mid-1980s, with DJs of the rare groove movement, who played obscure jazz records. Their main interests were in the fringe of jazz fusion, jazz funk, and with lesser input from soul jazz of the 1950s and 1960s. Particularly significant were records from the Blue Note catalogue.[3]
These DJs included Gilles Peterson, who had residencies at several London clubs in the 1980s, began in his own small pirate radio station and then moved to the much larger Kiss-FM. In 1988 with producer Eddie Piller he formed the label Acid Jazz Records. The first release from the company was the compilation Totally Wired, which contained obscure jazz funk tracks from the 1970s with updated new tracks.[3] In 1990 Peterson left to found his own label Talkin' Loud at Phonogram.[9] The company signed acts such as Galliano, Young Disciples and Urban Species.[3] Another British record label, Fourth And Broadway Records, was formed in 1990 and began a compilation series with the title "The Rebirth of Cool". Artists included Pharoah Sanders, Stereo MCs, the French rapper MC Solaar, Japanese production team United Future Organization and saxophonist Courtney Pine.[3]
In 1991 the genre broke into the mainstream with the success of Brand New Heavies. After one eponymous album (1990) with Acid Jazz Records the group moved on to FFRR Records for their hit singles "Never Stop" and "Dreams Come True".[3] Other bands included Incognito and Us3, whose "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" (1993) was the biggest hit in the genre.[10] Also highly successful were Jamiroquai, who, having been an early signing for Acid Jazz Records, signed for Sony Music for their highly successful album Travelling Without Moving (1996), which spawned the international hit single "Virtual Insanity".[4] Other live acts included Stereo MC's and the James Taylor Quartet.[6] The initial mainstream success of acid jazz was followed by a large number of compilations that left the public confused as to the nature of and key performers in the genre.[3]
US scene
In the early 1990s local acid jazz scenes developed in the US.[3] It reached New York in 1990 when British promoter Maurice Bernstein, and his South African partner, Jonathan Rudnick opened Groove Academy as a party at the Giant Step club in the basement of the Metropolis Café in Union Square. From this Groove Academy developed into a record label and media company.[11] Other acid jazz recording artists in New York were Brooklyn Funk Essentials (Doublemoon), DJ Smash (Eightball Records), and Jerome Van Rossum (Irma Records). In San Francisco there was Ubiquity Records and in Los Angeles Solsonics.[3]
Notable acid jazz groups that emerged from this scene included A Tribe Called Quest, who borrowed from a variety of jazz sources for their Platinum-selling The Low End Theory (1991),[5] Buckshot LeFonque, a project of Branford Marsalis, and Digable Planets, who were awarded a Grammy for their 1993 single "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)".[10] Formed in New York in 1990, Groove Collective produced their self-titled debut in 1993 and have continued to be influential into the twenty-first century.[4] The rapper Guru released a series of collaborative albums with major figures in jazz as the Jazzmatazz series.[5] From Chicago, Liquid Soul achieved a national profile from 1996 when their self-titled debut LP was re-released on the Ark21 label.[12]
International scene
Acid jazz soon gained an international following, including in Japan, Germany, Brazil and Eastern Europe.[5] From Japan, United Future Organization gained an international reputation, signing an American record deal in 1994.[13] Other notable artists from Japan included Mondo Grosso,[6] and Gota.[14] From Eastern Europe came bands such as Skalpel from Poland.[15]
Decline and influence
The rise of electronic club music in the mid to late 1990s led to a decline in interest in acid jazz among the record buying public, although the genre continued to have a reduced worldwide following.[3] In the twenty-first century the movement became so intertwined with other forms that it became indistinct as a genre and many acts that might have been defined as acid jazz are now seen as jazz funk, neo soul or jazz rap.[4]
Q magazine stated "Acid jazz was the most significant jazz form to emerge out of the British music scene".[16] One major legacy of the genre was on the jam band movement, with acid jazz proving a suitable medium for extended improvisation for acts such as Medeski, Martin and Wood.[4]

This church is one of the oldest church we have in the country. It was done in Baroque-style which is created by the Franciscans in the year 1500-1700. The famous T.V series "Kampanerang Kuba" used this place as one of their main setting/location. It was reconstructed last 1845 after the massive fire that partly destroyed its facade last 1781. The church is well maintained and many devoted can be seen here every Sunday. It also have a mini park and comfort rooms for men and women to use. It is just right after Nagcarlan Market where fresh and low price vegetables and fruits can be brought.
*I always visit the church every month because my dentist's clinic is located near the place. 🙂

I tell you a tale to-night
Which a seaman told to me,
With eyes that gleamed in the lanthorn light
And a voice as low as the sea.
You could almost hear the stars
Twinkling up in the sky,
And the old wind woke and moaned in the spars
And the same old waves went by.
Singing the same old song
As ages and ages ago,
While he froze my blood in that deep-sea night
With the things he seemed to know.
A bare foot pattered on deck;
Ropes creaked; then-all grew still,
And he pointed his finger straight in my face
And growled, as a sea-dog will.
'Do 'ee know who Nelson was?
That pore little shrivelled form
With the patch on his eye and the pinned-up sleeve
And a soul like a North Sea storm?
'Ask of the Devonshire men!
They know, and they'll tell you true;
He wasn't the pore little chawed-up chap
That Hardy thought he knew.
'He wasn't the man you think!
His patch was a dern disguise!
For he knew that they'd find him out, d'you see,
If they looked him in both his eyes.
'He was twice as big as he seemed;
But his clothes were cunningly made.
He'd both of his hairy arms alright!
The sleeve was a trick of the trade.
'You've heard of sperrits, no doubt;
Well there's more in the matter than that!
But he wasn't the patch and he wasn't the sleeve,
And he wasn't the laced cocked-hat.
'Nelson was just-a Ghost!
You may laugh! But the Devonshire men
They knew that he'd come when England called,
And they know that he'll come again.
'I'll tell you the way it was
(For none of the landsmen know) ,
And to tell it you right, you must go a-starn
Two hundred years or so.
* * * * * * *
'The waves were lapping and slapping
The same as they are today;
And Drake lay dying aboard his ship
In Nobre Dios Bay.
'The scent of foreign flowers
Came floating all around;
'But I'd give my soul for the smell o' the pitch, '
Says he, 'in Plymouth Sound.
''What shall I do, ' he says,
'When the guns begin to roar,
An' England wants me, and me not there
To shatter 'er fores once more? '
'(You've heard what he said, maybe,
But I'll mark you the p'ints again;
For I want you to box your compass right
And get my story plain.)
' 'You must take my drum', he says,
'To the old sea-wall at home;
And if ever you strike that drum, ' he says,
'Why, strike me blind, I'll come!
''If England needs me, dead
Or living, I'll rise that day!
I'll rise from the darkness under the sea
Ten thousand miles away.'
'That's what he said; and he died;
An' his pirates, listenin' roun'
With their crimson doublets and jewelled swords
That flashed as the sun went down.
'They sewed him up in his shroud
With a round-shot top and toe,
To sink him under the salt-sharp sea
Where all good seamen go.
'They lowered him down in the deep,
And there in the sunset light
They boomed a broadside over his grave,
As meaning to say 'Good night.'
'They sailed away in the dark
To the dear little isle they knew;
And they hung his drum by the old sea-wall
The same as he told them to.
* * * * * * *
'Two hundred years went by,
And the guns began to roar,
And England was fighting hard for her life,
As ever she fought of yore.
''It's only my dead that count, '
She said, as she says today;
'It isn't the ships and it isn't the guns
'Ull sweep Trafalgar's Bay.'
'D'you guess who Nelson was?
You may laugh, but it's true as true!
There was more in that pore little chawed-up chap
Than ever his best friend knew.
'The foe was creepin' close,
In the dark, to our white-cliffed isle;
They were ready to leap at England's throat,
When-O, you may smile, you may smile;
'But-ask of the Devenshire men;
For they heard in the dead of night
The roll of a drum, and they saw him pass
On a ship all shining white.
'He stretched out his dead cold face
And he sailed in the grand old way!
The fishes had taken an eye and his arm,
But he swept Trafalgar's Bay.
'Nelson-was Francis Drake!
O, what matters the uniform,
Or the patch on your eye or your pinned-up sleeve,
If your soul's like a North Sea storm? '

Several people are looking to buy a flat in Mumbai but high prices are forcing people to stay away from the market. Mumbai real estate has seen a rapid price rise in the last few years some people blame government policies for it others say the demand and supply mismatch has caused huge price rise in Mumbai real estate. Earlier people used to buy flats in Navi Mumbai as the rates there were much more affordable. But now even the property rates of flats in Navi Mumbai are sky-rocketing. If one looks at price trends on property site in India one will notice that the prices of flat in Mumbai and flats in Navi Mumbai have seen a dramatic hike.
Mumbai is the financial capital of India and as a result a number of people visit the city looking for good job opportunities this has caused accommodation scarcity as there is shortage of land. The city of Mumbai is surrounded by water from three sides which leaves very less scope for expansion of the city. With the supply remaining put and the demand constantly increasing it hardly comes as a surprise that the flat in Mumbai saw such a huge price rise.
Property site in India point out that Mumbai real estate is one of the most expensive realty sectors of the country. This is the reason why most of the people living here do not even think of buying a flat in Mumbai. Even after the reduction in home loan rate there was hardly any rise in demand seen in Mumbai real estate because even after taking a loan buying a flat in Mumbai seems unreachable. People who wish to settle here either have to buy flats in Navi Mumbai or look towards Thane side.
Property site in India also point out that due to increase in demand of accommodation spaces the rentals have also significantly gone up in the last few years. Although the rentals have not gone up significantly in the satellite cities of Mumbai but Mumbai real estate saw huge rise in rentals especially for those areas which are located near metro station or the local train stations. Earlier people were waiting for a price correction to happen in Mumbai but now people have mostly realized that the real estate prices are unlikely to come down soon in the future as there is supply and demand mismatch.

|Sesame Street
|Big Bird hears a dripping sound.
|Air date
|January 17, 1972
|Season 3 (1971-1972)
This episode guide has been compiled from materials at the CTW Archives. ⓘ
- Tom curves his body into a C shape and an L shape.
- Sherlock Hemlock talks about the sound of the letter L. (EKA: Episode 0295)
- Big Bird tries to discover what is causing a dripping sound. He turns the switch on the mixing machine and gets a whirr; he pushes the keys on the cash register and gets the sound of a drawer opening and a bell dinging; he turns the handle on the alarm clock and gets a ringing. Finally, Tom turns the handle on the faucet and the dripping sound stops.
- Kermit's Lectures: Kermit counts four eggs. A chick hatches out of one egg, so he counts the three eggs -- then two, then one. Then he counts the four chickens. (EKA: Episode 0300)
- Because the rope on the clothesline is stuck, Bob goes fishing for his shirt, out on the middle of the line, from his second story window. He hooks the tail of the shirt.
- Rafael shows some kids a picture with hidden fish in it and asks them to find them.
- Oscar is swooping empty jars through the air and putting caps on them. He explains to Tom that he's bottling smoke and pollution for his Dirty Air Sale.
- In introducing the next film, Rafael gives clues to what it isn't. He says it isn't about this and points to his feet, then his leg, then his stomach, then his chest, then his arm. The film is about hands.
- "La, La, La": Ernie and Bert sing about words that begin with L. Ernie focuses on pretty words like laughter and lollipops; Bert wants to sing about light bulbs and linoleum.
- Two people want to borrow Tom's ladder. Bob needs it to fix his clothesline and Rafael needs it to paint the outside of his window. Bob and Rafael agree to hold the ladder for each other so that it won't slip and fall. They take away the ladder to use together.
- Flip Wilson shows how his teacher, Miss Johnson, taught the ABCs. (EKA: Episode 0197)
- It's time to play the Sound Game. As Maria soundlessly types, the viewers are asked what the right sound is for a typewriter to make. We hear a toot, the clank of chains and then a typewriter sound. As Rafael soundlessly strums his guitar, the viewers are asked what that sound should be. We hear the oompah of a tuba, some thunder, and then a guitar strumming.
- Maria sings the Sorting Song in English and Spanish.
- Speech Balloon: "L" - light
- Speech Balloon: "l" - lips (EKA: Episode 0198)

text: I was shopping for the boys on Wednesday night, trying to find them each a light jacket with a hood {because let's face it, we don't need giant winter coats that often in Texas}. And while I found them {here and here}, I also had to pick up a few things for myself, right?! Special thanks to Old Navy's 40 percent off the entire store sale for making me poorer. ;)

10/14/18: I'm bringing this 4/24/18 post to the top again. I find myself recommending these vibrators often -- especially the Volta and the Cobra Libre -- and I don't want you to miss out. Be sure you use the 10% discount code at the end!
Lucky me! I own a toy box of new vibrators from Fun Factory. As the name implies and the photo illustrates, each colorful Fun Factory vibrator has something playful about it.
The shape may be a dolphin, a cuttlefish, a caterpillar, a race car. You can't help laughing as you try to describe it, and I'm sure that's intentional. Sex is fun. Solo sex is fun. Sex with vibrators is fun.
These Fun Factory toys have much in common, so I'm doing a round-up instead of reviewing the toys individually and repeating myself. All are well-made of body-safe, medical-grade silicone and they're waterproof for shower, tub, and pool use. Most charge via a USB magnetic charger, simple as can be, and they hold a charge for a long time. Yes, I have my favorites with unique qualities, and I'll tell you what makes them special.
My top favorite is the Volta. It's delightfully versatile. The curved shape and vibrating tips (I think of them as "flippers") can give pleasure in several ways. For example:
- Nuzzle a clitoris by surrounding the glans (protruding tip of the clitoris) with the flippers.
- Rest the curve of the Volta over the vulva for all-over stimulation.
- Separate the flippers to vibrate the clitoris and the vaginal entrance simultaneously.
- Cuddle or circle around the head of a penis.
- Stroke the shaft of a penis with the flippers during fellatio.
My second favorite is Patchy Paul (explain that name to me, please), caterpillar shaped including two eyes.* The shape makes it perfect for G-spot penetration, or clitoral pinpointing, or curving over the vulva.
I find most Fun Factory penetrative toys too girthy for pleasure, but Patchy Paul starts narrow -- 1.1 inch diameter at the tip -- and gradually increases in girth, bloop by bloop, to 1.7 inches in diameter. Unless you like really deep penetration, that widest bloop won't matter. It's also fairly flexible, making it even more comfortable. Like the Volta, you get 6 intensities and 6 rhythm patterns.
|Patchy Paul's fake eyes
|caterpillar with fake eyes
You can't choose between them? If you like simultaneous clitoral stimulation and vaginal penetration and you can budget for both, double your pleasure by using Volta on the clitoris and Patchy Paul vaginally. Wowza. Of course you can do that with any two sex toys that fit your needs -- I'm not saying you have to buy two new products for this experience. But Volta and Patchy Paul work especially well as a team, thanks to the shapes -- they don't get in the way of each other.
If you prefer a smaller vibrator and you don't need the turbo power I prefer, the adorable Cayona or Diva Dolphin might be just right for you.
The shape of Cayona is designed for both penetration and clitoral stimulation via the bump, but the dimensions weren't right for me (we're all different), plus the penetrative part felt too thick, and the vibrations were buzzier than my personal preference. Sure love the color, though!
|Size comparison
Cayona & Patchy Paul
The Diva Dolphin was more comfortable for insertion, tapering gradually. It can take batteries (no charging necessary), or if you prefer rechargeable, upgrade with Fun Factory's hybrid kit. It has 4 speeds and 6 patterns. A good product, but I was spoiled by the Volta.
Cobra Libre II is a popular penis vibrator. It's designed to envelop and vibrate the head of the penis, the most sensitive area for most penis owners. Experiment with how you like to hold it and use it. MacDuff, my penis-owning reviewer, tells me:
I used lube on just my penis at first and although it felt good, it didn't get me to orgasm. The next time, I added a generous amount of lube inside the Cobra Libre, and woo! That made it possible to slightly thrust in and out, all the while being stimulated by vibrations. I discovered that for me, the toy works best held in what seems like an upside down position, as that better follows the upward curve of my erection. Whee! Full orgasm. Knocked me out.
Anything to criticize about Fun Factory sex toys? Only that they come without pouches. Sturdy boxes, yes, but who has room to store boxes? Dear Fun Factory, couldn't you include one of your sweet Tyvek zipped toybags?
I love the Karim Rashid Toybag, which makes a great gift, by the way. This toybag is so cute and durable that I use it to carry favorite vibrators, lube, and condoms when I travel.
Always use water-based lubricant with Fun Factory products. They can be damaged by oils and creams, so be careful with other substances on your body such as sunscreen, Fun Factory warns.
Thank you, Fun Factory, for sending me these joyous sex toys in return for an honest review. Take a look at all their products -- you'll smile at the shapes and colors, and I'm sure you'll find one that's just right for you. And don't forget to use your discount code.

I'm in Honolulu this week so it is time for my next installment of 8 Facts You Might Not Have Known: Hawaii Facts edition.
- The USS Arizona is still leaking oil. Sunk on December 7, 1941, during the attack on Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona has been leaking oil for almost 70 years. The leak is obviously small and the fuel tanks were full when the ship was sunk. No one has any idea when the leak will stop.
- Hawaii is growing every day. About 55,000 dump trucks worth of new Hawaii are being created every day from the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Since 1990, 540 new acres of land have been added to the Big Island. The vast majority of the new volcanic rock ends up in the ocean and falls to the seafloor. There is, in fact, a brand new island being created under the water off the coast of the Big Island, called Loihi. It will rise above the ocean surface in about 10-100,000 years. [*] [**]
- Hawaii boasts 11 different climate zones. Because of the mountains on the islands, precipitation and temperature can vary dramatically over short distances. On the big island alone you can find rainforests, deserts, grasslands and even an alpine climate on top of Mauna Kea. The east side of the Big Island averages 20 inches of rain per year and Mt. Waialeale on Kauai averages 486 inches a year. The record high temperature in Hawaii (100F, xC) is the same as the record high temperature in Alaska. [*] [**] [***]
- Hawaii has a 5th county. Most people think Hawaii has four counties: Honolulu (covering the island of Oahu), Maui (covering the islands of Maui, Lanai, and Molokai, and Kahoolawe), Hawaii (covering the Big Island), and Kauai (covering the island of Kauai and Ni?ihau). However, there is technically a 5th county which has only 147 inhabitants: Kalawao County. Kalawao is a small peninsula on the island of Molokai which is only accessible by a mule trail. It was used during the time of the Kingdom of Hawaii as a leper colony (now called Hansen's disease). It is also the location of the Kalaupapa National Historical Park. The only elected position is sheriff. All other governmental functions are taken care of by the State of Hawaii Department of Health.
- Hawaii is one of the largest states in the United States. Most people only consider the eight main islands which make up Hawaii. However, there are approximately 130 islands which make up the state of Hawaii that extend over 1,600 miles, making it one of the largest states in terms of distance from end-to-end. The northern and westernmost island is Kure Atoll, which is also the northernmost coral atoll in the world. It is also 100 miles to the east of the International Date Line. The only island in the Hawaiian Island chain which is not part of the State of Hawaii is Midway Island which is a territory of the United States and is controlled by the Department of the Interior. All of the islands which are not part of the main Hawaiian islands are part of the city of Honolulu, which makes Honolulu one of the largest cities in the world in terms of distance. [*] [**]
- You can find beaches with four different colors of sand. In addition to the famous and common white sand beaches, you also find beaches with black, green and red sand. The Green Sand Beach is located near the South Point of the Big Island of Hawaii. The green comes from a mineral olivine which can be found in small amounts in most volcanic rock on the Big Island. The black sand can be found at Punaluu State Park on the Big Island, and it comes from crushed volcanic basalt. The red sand is found at Kaihalulu Beach off the Hana Road on the Island of Maui. The red comes from oxidized iron the rock.
- The Captain Cook memorial on the Big Island is British Territory. Captain Cook was killed 1779 in Kealakekua Bay. The land on which the obelisk which sits is owned by the government of the United Kingdom. In exchange, the British government gave the land underneath a JFK memorial in Runnymede, England to the United States. [*][**]
- The Kingdom of Hawaii lasted less than 100 years. Final unification of the Hawaiian islands and the creation of the Kingdom of Hawaii took place in 1810 under King Kamehameha I. The last monarch was Queen Liliu?okalani who was overthrown in a coup organized by Dole Pineapple company. It was the only state to have previously been a monarchy and the Iolani Palace is the only Palace in the United States.

Education secretary Michael Gove has claimed there are a "ridiculous" number of old Etonians in the inner circle of Prime Minister David Cameron.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Gove said: "It doesn't make me feel personally uncomfortable, because I like each of the individuals concerned.
"But it's ridiculous. I don't know where you can find a similar situation in any other developed economy."
Eton College, which was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI, charges annual fees of up to £33,270, and counts 19 prime ministers, including Cameron himself, among its alumni.
Other senior government figures to have attended Eton are Cameron's chief of staff Ed Llewellyn, and minister for government policy Oliver Letwin, policy unit head Jo Johnson, and Chancellor George Osborne's chief economic adviser Rupert Harrison.
Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, who some have tipped to lead the Conservative party after Cameron, is also an Old Etonian, and some have traced the pair's rivalry back to their school days.
"It's a function of the fact that, as we pointed out a couple of years ago, more boys from Eton went to Oxford and Cambridge than boys eligible for free school meals," said Gove, who was adopted as a child, and went to state primary school before attending the private Robert Gordon's College in Aberdeen on a scholarship.
Gove drew parallels between Cameron and Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquis of Salisbury, who was prime minister three times during the late 19th and early 20th century, and appointed his nephew to cabinet.
He said: "At the beginning of the 20th Century, the Conservative cabinet was called Hotel Cecil. The phrase 'Bob's your uncle' came about. It's preposterous."
In the interview, Gove spoke about the importance of his schooling.
"Two things in particular have determined the course of my life," he said.
"The first being adopted by my parents, and the second the decisions they made about schools that I went to, and the support that they gave me."
In the interview, Gove denied rumours that he was preparing a bid to lead the Conservative party.
He said: "You've got to have that extra spark of charisma and star quality. David has it, George has it and Boris has it.
"And I don't think I do. It's like if you're an actor: some people are going to be the leading man like George Clooney and there are others destined to be the leading's man best friend. Other people can be Sherlock Holmes - I'm very lucky if I can be Dr Watson."
He added: "I don't have what it takes... I have seen David close up on a variety of occasions: he just has an equanimity and stamina, a sense of calm, good judgment.
"The pressure of the job is phenomenal and it takes a toll on you and your family and I don't think I could do that."

Shark expert urges net ban
A NEWCASTLE University marine biologist has called for shark nets to be banned, saying they needlessly kill innocent marine species.
Dr David Powter, a shark expert, said the nets ''catch a lot of harmless sharks and rays that get tangled up and die''.
''The evidence that the nets work is not strong, but the evidence that they have a negative effect on the marine environment is very strong,'' Dr Powter said.
The latest available NSW Department of Primary Industries data from 2010-11 shows 157 species were found tangled in nets at the 51 beaches that have them in Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong. Of those, 98 died and 59 were released alive.
The figures included 60 rays (19 died), 18 hammerhead sharks (17 died), six great white sharks (all died), two dolphins (both died), seven turtles (five died), three grey nurse sharks (one died), two bull sharks (both died), two tiger sharks (one died) and six bronze whaler sharks (all died).
A department spokesman said its shark netting program was ''regarded as the most efficient and effective solution in helping to provide a safer environment for swimmers and surfers''.
Dr Powter said there were no shark attacks in a lot of swimming beaches where nets were not used.
Stockton Surf Lifesaving Club president Callan Nickerson said he could see both sides of the story.
''I can see the benefit they serve with gauging the amount of sharks caught,'' Mr Nickerson said.
''Our beach is 36 kilometres long and the net is 500 metres off the beach and spans 150 metres.''
The department spokesman said contractors check nets three times a week on average.
''Contractors are required to free all live marine life found in the nets where it is practical and safe to do so.''

This is a perfect example of a colour that I would have normally thought was more 'spring like', yet in fact, it's a warm autumn shade. I like that this shade is a medium neutral, which is perfect for warm autumns. It's amazing to me that before, I saw neutrals as being 'nude, beige, brown' etc, yet this spicy peach coral is in fact my 'perfect' neutral! My eyes have really had to adjust to my new palette. I'm learning to see colour in a whole new way. So far, there have been a lot of wonderful yet unexpected surprises with discovering my new palette and determining what colour combinations with work together. I didn't expect warm autumn to be this interesting of a season - and I have to say, I'm loving the medium-toned contrast look - makes so much sense as to why the light and soft warm shades just washed me out and did nothing for me. Medium warm clarity is Warm Autumns best friend. Here I am wearing the Peach Me lipstick by Revlon - I just have a swipe of NARS Madly blush on, a sheer wash of MAC goldmine shadow from this morning and some mascara :) Please keep in mind that this pic is taken later on in the day, so that natural light is starting to slowly fade. I can't wait to see this lipstick in all its glory during the day :)

Revlon Peach Me Lipstick
I've been playing around and discovering the orange-red shades of lipsticks lately and I wanted to see if I could find a warm, orange-peachy neutral shade - something that is still warm/medium toned, but not 'red'. I decided to check out 'Revlon' and as soon as I saw 'Peach Me', something in my knew it would be a match to my palette. I decided to buy it and was so happy when I discovered that it was indeed an 'exact' match to my 'Orange Spice' swatch:

The Mandan Progress Organization celebrated its 20th anniversary Monday at the Seven Seas.
It announced that members of the USS North Dakota Committee will act as marshals for the 2013 Independence Day Parade during Mandan Rodeo Days.
The submarine will represent the first ship to be named after the state since 1910, said Bob Wefald, chairman of the USS North Dakota Committee. The first USS North Dakota, a battleship, was commissioned from 1910 to 1923. The nuclear-powered USS North Dakota submarine is scheduled to be commissioned from 2014 to 2047.
The submarine USS North Dakota is scheduled to have its frame substantially welded by early February, be christened this September and be commissioned sometime in the summer of 2014, Wefald said.
Wefald said it is the intent of the committee that the state have a "lifelong relationship with the members of the crew" for the 33 years it is scheduled to be commissioned. He said when available, crew members will be asked to participate in events around the state. "We also want people to visit the ship," he said. He said the Independence Day parade in Mandan was part of the effort to raise awareness about the submarine and keep that relationship.
The MPO was founded in 1993. Its mission is to create and promote public events and projects to enhance Mandan's business climate and generate community pride.
It co-organizes the Buggies-n-Blues classic car and music festival June 8-9, Mandan Rodeo Days July 1-4, the Grill Fest Aug. 16-17 and October Fest Sept. 28-29.

The attempt will take place at 10:00 a.m. on July 4th, 2013 on Main Street in Mandan, North Dakota. Parade co-chairs Dennis Friesz and Marlo Anderson stated that the committee will be ready to assist participants along Mandan's Main Street. The committee is also prepared to use "the strip" which intersects east Main Street in the event more space is needed.
"Macarena" (Spanish pronunciation: [makaˈɾena]) is a Spanish dance song by Los del Río about a woman of the same name. Appearing on the 1994 album A mí me gusta, it was an international hit between 1995 and 1996, and continues to have a cult following. One of the most iconic of 1990s dance music, it was ranked the "#1 Greatest One-Hit Wonder of all Time" by VH1 in 2002.

Reading, for me, leads to writing, as day leads into night and night back into day; they are halves of a whole. I was one of those kids who cracked the code early; I've been reading since I was three, and the writing came later once I'd learned to hold a pencil, but when it came, it really burst forth. Everything a working writer does I have done-- I have written and published everything, from corporate annual reports, to radio ads, children's poetry, -fiction and -non-fiction, to memoir and now, my first novel for adults. Spunk, a Fable is a lot like me; "just dirty enough."
Although she's widely considered one of the world's great beauties, Angelina Jolie was never one of my choices to play a role in Spunk, a Fable (I admit, I've thought about who would be my choices to portray my heroines in a movie version). Then again, Spunk is not so much a book about beautiful women; it's about "powerful women in desperate circumstances," as Dr. Judi Hollis, author (From Bagels to Buddha) describes it.
Angelina Jolie is not only an accomplished actress, she is also a UN commisioner for refugees, and her remarks urging the world's nations to make the fight against rape in war a top priority are commendable; but I wonder. Why not just fight to make war itself a thing of the past? Horrible as it is, is rape in a war zone any worse than so-called date rape, domestic-violence rape, or stranger-rape? It's all pretty horrible.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A spacewalk is planned at the International Space Station.
Two of space shuttle Discovery's visiting crew will float outside late Monday morning. They will spend all afternoon moving a broken ammonia pump to a better location, installing an extension cable and doing other chores.
One of the astronauts going out is Stephen Bowen, who was assigned to the job just last month. The original lead spacewalker, Timothy Kopra, was injured in a bicycle accident and pulled off the flight. Kopra will help direct the spacewalk from Mission Control. He's still on crutches.
This is the last flight for Discovery. After it returns to Earth next week, it will be retired and sent to the Smithsonian Institution. Only two other shuttle missions remain.

text: Alright people, I'll tell you what, I've found all the other Wishbass threads so amusing that I have to direct your attention to this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Bass-Fretless-F...oryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Now, I've been pretty sympathetic to Wish's cause, and I know next to nothing about the whole fanned fret design thing, other than the basics, but given all the noted flaws on his past instruments I really wonder about this one. What do you guys think, can he pull off the fanned fret thing? 'Cause, you know, he says "the intonation is fine," which is very comforting... Sorry. Sounds like I'm Wishbashing here, when actually I quite admire the guy's tenacity in the face of such harsh criticism. I also find his approach to be rather endearing. Heck, I'd probably have a bid in on the "turkey root" bass (see: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7397945921&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1) if not for the fact that I'm really after a freaky fiver. Still, this fiver with the fanned frets... I just don't know. And speaking of the "turkey root" bass, I just have to say, I am convinced that we here at TalkBass are proving the the old adage that "there's no such thing as bad publicity." This particular bass has over 2500 hits on it at present! I don't think I've ever sold anything on Ebay that has attracted so much attention! I've suggested before, and am certain now, that even when TalkBassers are ripping on the guy they're actually helping him. Wildness. Matt

My One Word 2014 was "Fruit". What I love about having a One Word for the year is that it doesn't go away when that year is over. Once you've spent a year focusing on that word and why you picked it, it's bound to stay with you. It just allows you to soak that word into your spirit in a deeper way so that it sticks with you for the rest of your life, causing you to grow. That's what is intended, right? You may not think on it every day, but it shows up when you need it. Makes me wish I had started having One Words sooner in life.
Having "Fruit" was a reminder for me to pay attention to what I'm putting out there (on a daily basis and in my overall life). Am I producing Godly and beneficial fruit? Or is the fruit I'm producing so rotten it stinks? That One Word had me focusing on my fruit and despite my New Year and new word, it's a reminder that I'll always need and appreciate. Sort of like my own accountability partner.
That being said, I want to be sure I am walking in the Spirit at all times, therefore producing fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." (NKJV)
I don't even come close to perfectly exhibiting any of these, and I am striving to do better with them all. However, I have a particularly rough time with SELF-CONTROL, my One Word 2015. I believe this is listed as a fruit of the Spirit because it is somewhat of an ugly word to our flesh.
Matthew 26:41 says, "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (KJV) This describes me to a T (whatever that means…)! my Spirit is oh-so-willing, but my flesh is the weakest of the weak, screaming, "LET ME HAVE MY WAY!"
It's like John said, "He must increase, but I must decrease." (3:30 KJV) To deny/crucify my flesh so that the spirit is in control…that's the only way self-control works…when there is MORE of Him and LESS of me. As long as I'm in the way, nothing will work out right. It is high time for me to take spiritual authority and force my flesh to submit. Will it be easy? Probably not. But if I want to produce Godly fruit, if I want His will over mine, then I have got to be obedient to the Father, NOT the flesh.
*You can see my original post about why I picked this word here.
Although I thought I was crazy at first, I definitely did not hear wrong when choosing my one word for 2014. 'Fruit' is a word that I believe I probably should've been more aware of long before now. I am not perfect, by any means, nor do I claim to be. However, I have already grasped the importance of why I chose this word and that has helped me in a great way. I try to be on constant Fruit Alert, but as a human, it does tend to slip my fleshly mind at times. There have been several occasions and conversations throughout this year that I have thankfully heard the Holy Spirit quietly whisper to me my #oneword.
Now, when you hear the Holy Spirit whisper gently, "Remember….fruit," it truly puts things in perspective. I decide to stay silent instead of unnecessarily putting in my 2 cents worth. I decide to put on a smile and show love even when I don't feel like being in a good mood. I decide that when I'm angry over the change in my husband's work schedule, it's better to pray about it instead of writing a Facebook rant status.
I hear that faint whisper, "Fruit….." and train my focus to remember, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." –Galatians 5:22-23
Don't let your attitude/actions/reactions determine your fruit. Let your fruit determine your attitude/actions/reactions.
This is what I've learned so far from my #oneword #2014.

*You can see my original post about why I picked this verse here.
Oh, boy. This one has been tough for me. Not so tough that I began to let discontentment overwhelm me and wallow in self-pity, but enough that I have felt the Holy Spirit nudge me to remember my one verse for 2014 oodles and gobs of times this year!
As I stated in my original post, I believe discontentment is one of satan's greatest lies. It's the lie that whispers unhappiness to women around the world. I know I'm not the only one with this struggle. I know this because I have seen the effects of this lie in the lives of many of the women I'm acquainted with, as well as my own life.
It's not an easy struggle. But it is a struggle I can take control over. That's why I chose this verse. I was so tired of comparison and other lies making me feel like my life wasn't good enough, like I wasn't good enough. As I said, it's still a bit of a struggle, but this verse has helped me many times to get over it quickly. I don't get stuck anymore because I remember that in whatsoever state I am, I can be content because I am right where God has placed me.
And His word definitely trumps satan's lies at all times!
Yes, I know that compared to others, my One Word for 2014 is a little… Well, fruity… For lack of better words. What I mean is, I realize my word may not seem to be very profound or Spiritual, but stay with me. I'm gonna explain.
As I was praying about what my One Word should be, I thought I was going to have to dig deep, do some serious soul searching. I figured I would be waiting until sometime in the middle of January before my word would reveal itself to me. I was gladly mistaken. As I prayed about my word, it seemed to all of a sudden jump out at me.
Now, due to the lack of 'wow factor' surrounding my word, I thought for a moment that I was crazy. This couldn't possibly be my One Word. Maybe I was hearing wrong. Yet, as I pondered the why, it began to make sense for me.
"16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them."
No matter where I am or what I am doing, I am producing fruit. Everyone that comes in contact with me also comes in contact with my fruit. What kind of fruit are they seeing? What kind of fruit am I producing? Any and everyone I meet will know me by my fruit. My husband will know me by my fruit. My children will know me by my fruit. My fellow church members will know me by my fruit. The cashier at Wal-Mart will know me by my fruit. All of you that read this will know me by my fruit. And most importantly, God will judge me by my fruit.
FRUIT is my One Word 2014 because I want to constantly be reminded that I am producing fruit. I want to be aware at all times of what type of fruit I am offering. I don't want to be rotten and squishy. I don't want to be cut down and thrown into the fire. I want to bear good fruit. I want to be pleasing to the Lord. I want my fruit to be a sweet smelling savor that rises to the throne room of the Father. On December 31, 2014, I want to be able to look back over the year and not be ashamed of the fruit I produced.
