We don't know which is scarier — an aging pop legend dressed like a teenaged hooker who, after years of plastic surgery upkeep, is finally starting to crack and whither — or Gollum from Lord of the Rings. Either way, we see dead people.
We also see very little difference between the two photos above so we're gonna call it a tie. They both scare the crap out of us.
The Good: after being separated at birth, Madonna and Gollum ("Madollum") are finally back together again (thanks to the miracle of photoshop) — don't be surprised if you hear their publicists announce a joint world tour soon;
The Bad: though they undoubtedly feel more complete having reunited, neither one of them has any intentions of ever putting on clothes and covering up their bony, veiny bodies;
The Ugly: as genetics would have it, they will undoubtedly, eventually morph into the same human being and, in just a few years (or 6 months), this will be the Madollum walking Red Carpets:
And still, they will refuse to put some clothes on. Sigh. #Madollum

Great for audio. Not so great for video
August 06, 2018
I'll start off by saying I detest earbud headphones. I don't like having to shove something down my ear to produce a great sound. I don't like how they feel when they are in my ear. And earbuds always fall out of my ears. Always. Which is another rea
son I detest earbuds. For years I've been purchasing the Sony AS210. I LOVE the design of the AS210. The earcups are placed just outside my ear canal and the loops keep them stayed in place. Sadly, it seems the AS210s are being phased out or maybe I'm just unlucky that I can no longer find them in any of my usual local stores. I found myself needing to replace my AS210s and after visiting or calling every local consumer audio/electronics store, I felt that maybe it was time to move on. Parting is such sweet sorrow. I saw the selection for Sony headphones at a local store and initially purchased the Sony 1000X. As expected the buds kept falling out of my ears no matter what combination of fins and earbud tips I used. I exchanged the 1000X for the SP700N. The Arc supporters made a GARGANTUAN difference in "wearability" for me. I drove, walked, jogged, jumped, etc and the earbuds stayed in my ears. Totally surprised me. The earbud tips never produced an A++ seal for me but I think that's due to the shape of my inner ear. Overall, these earbuds helped me realize how convenient earbuds can be. The Good - Sweat resistant - I didn't realize until after I purchased the 1000Xs that the 1000Xs were not sweat resistant (which is another reason I exchanged them). The SB700Ns are sweat resistant. I didn't sweat profusely but I sweated enough. Living in the South, we can go for weeks, if not months with the temperature over 100 deg F. You can avoid being outside but eventually yardwork needs to be done. The 700Ns worked flawlessly with me sweating and outside in hot weather. - Active noise cancellation (ANC) - I didn't ride any planes but in my daily routine (work, running errands, etc) and a few road trips, the noise cancellation was great: lawnmower is a dim hum; A/C running full blast in my car is a dim hum; outside traffic noise is non-existent; my wife sitting next to me talking...well, thank goodness for the ambient mode lol. - Modes of noise cancellation - (FYI you have four modes: full mode, voice mode, ambient/pass-thru mode, and off) This is a feature that shows Sony is thinking of the customer. I do have other active noise cancelling headphones (a wireless headband; a wired headband; and an around-the-ear "necklace") that do not optional modes of ANC: the ANC is either on or off. I did not think having an ambient mode was useful...until my wife asked me if I heard her even though the buds were in my ears. My answer was yes, and I heard her mostly clearly using voice or ambient mode. With ANC in full mode and the music paused (and making sure I had a good seal at that time), I could barely hear her even though she was standing in front of me. I only knew she was talking to me because she was facing me. If her back was to me, I'd have never known she was talking to me. I switched to ambient mode and I could hear her and respond accordingly. - Arc supporters/Earbuds - These earbuds stayed in my ears despite my various activities as described above. I've tried other earbud headphones from other companies and the buds simply were not as comfortable as the ones by Sony. Again, keep in mind that prior to the 700Ns, I was pessimistic about the "feel" of earbuds. These convinced me that earbuds can be comfortable to wear. - Sound quality - Keep in mind that sound quality for wireless earphones will never be equal to the quality of wired earphones but the quality from these earbuds was really good, even with me not being able to obtain a great seal all the time (way to go Sony!). I used ANC most of the time I wore these, but even without ANC, the sound was good enough for me. The bass boost can be overpowering at times and I'd like to be able to make the bass boost an option instead of a default. (Personal thought - Why not slightly boost the highs as a default since humans undergo a natural hearing loss to high frequencies over the passage of time.) - Connection - As expected I did experience a few drop in sound maybe twice or thrice an hour when playing a song but otherwise the connection was great. (FYI: You can use the app to switch from priority for connection to priority for sound quality. I switched back and forth and didn't see a noticeable change in the operation or sound quality of the earbuds.) The Not-So-Good - It would be really nice to have a volume control on the buds somewhere instead of having to use my cell phone or tablet or laptop to adjust the volume. Personally, I'm spoiled on using a remote volume control feature. My other wireless headphones have volume control on the headphones. Plus I use a bluetooth (BT) streamer for my wired headphones and my BT streamers have volume control. All this means is that I don't have to pull out my phone to adjust the volume. At all. I'm used to that. I'd like that same course of action continued with 700Ns. - Phone quality - Those listening to me talk via the buds said my voice sounded "tiny," "tinny," or "distant." Also, the caller is only heard in the left earbud and not stereo (i.e. in both right and left earbuds). The microphone picked up on background noises so that whoever I was talking to couldn't hear me clearly. I eventually reached a point where I would bypass my buds for phone calls. The Bad - The charging case - The charging case needs improvement. As one reviewer noted, "the case cover slides to the side so it doesn't provide any downward pressure on the buds to ensure contact with the charger." Essentially the cover is flimsy and because it has no downward pressure, I kept checking to make sure the lid was closed when the case was in my bag. Inserting the earbuds into the charging case is awkward and definitely requires correct practice, especially if you are using the Arc supports. There is an interior red light on the earbuds that comes on when the earbuds make contact within the charging case and are charging, but the light was difficult to see. Unless I was in a dark room, I had to look very close at the earbuds to perceive if they were charging. Is it possible to put an easily seen status light inside the case that would indicate if the buds are charging or not? Also, a battery level indicator showing the battery level for each bud and the charger would be nice --> If you take the left bud out and put it in your ear, a voice plays that states the level of the battery BUT, is that the status just for the left bud or for both? Also, there were times I didn't put the bud straightway into my ear so I had to assume the battery level was not low. Regardless, the cover needs improvement and there needs to be a better way to verify the buds are charging, or at least a way to know the buds are secured in the case. I did like the size of the case but I wouldn't dare put it in my pocket due to the concern I have for the cover. Deal Breaker - Video lag - Ultimately I returned the 700Ns 8 days later because I could not overcome the "hurdle" of the latency with watching videos. The delay between audio and video was at times 2 seconds long. I did update the software and that shortened the time of the lag, but, the lag was still there. As a homeowner, I'm continually looking at YouTube for "How To" videos and the lag was simply not a characteristic I wanted to deal with at the price I paid for the earbuds. I realize because these earbuds are true wireless, there's not much that can be done. Neutral Notables - Yes the battery lasts for "only" 3 hours according to the specs. That's enough time for me. The longest I wore the earbuds was 2 hours with ANC on. - I would like the option of foam earbuds like the 1000X has. I - Streaming Music - I experienced a few seconds of silence every so often (maybe twice an hour) when streaming music. - Noise Cancellation Modes - You can only switch between On, Ambient and Off with the earbud. The app gives you the option of the Voice mode. It would be nice to have voice mode with the earbud too. - Auto On - By default, the buds power on when you remove them from the case. I kept forgetting this and would try to "turn them on" after I took them out of the case. This resulted in several face palm moments. - I would live to have a wire that is used to help keep these attached but without sacrificing the true wireless form. That way, if I do pull out a bud, I don't have to worry about losing it (think of it as something similar to the strap used to hold sunglasses). It was suggested I purchase the SP600N but after reading the reviews, I'll pass until some adjustments are made or an upgraded version is produced. - App - It's interesting that a user is limited to EQ presets and there isn't any way you can customize the EQ. I use default settings so it doesn't make a difference to me but I find it peculiar that my stereo system from 2001 has an option for a custom EQ and yet an audio app released in 2017 and featuring EQ doesn't have that option. Things that make you go "hmmm?" :p

Excellent sound and great for sport
July 10, 2018
I have them now for about a little more than a month and bought them for my sports activities -- I had several opportunities to test them while running and working out (gym, parkour, circuit training). Set-up (pairing and app download, settings)
was very simple and worked right away. The earbuds came partially charged and I put them in the case to charge completely. For my activities the battery life is fully sufficient and since I put them back in the case (which is the charger as well) afterwards they re-charge and would have 70% after 15 min (as the manual says). A complete charge of the earbuds is 1.5 hours. The case requires 3 hrs and would re-charge the earbuds 2 more times which brings the total to 9 hrs. Completely ok for me. In the app settings you can choose between Priority on Sound or Priority on Connection. The default setting is Priority on Connection. I changed that to Prio on Sound Quality because on an iPhone it changes the audio codec to AAC (on iPhones) instead of using SBC. The manual said that SBC consumes more battery power than AAC mode and with AAC I am getting the 3 hrs instead of 2.5 hours battery life with SBC. I had no connection issues so far. It's Bluetooth and you have to be in the Bluetooth range, that's for sure. Sound with noise cancelation works as expected and the Ambient sound setting (either geared towards voice or general ambient noise) works well as long as you do not have the music very loud. That makes sense I guess. I had initially some problems to have the earbuds stay in my ears, however, after I figured out how to put them in, I have no issues while really moving a lot during my workouts. I used the Large arc support instead of the default Medium arc. I am sweating a lot and had no issues so far. I did not try them during rain though. I tested the hands-free function in connection with SIRI on my iPhone and it works just fine: I turn up or down the volume or switch to the next track. Therefore I do not need further buttons on the earbuds to adjust the volume. Also, I usually have my phone close-by and I often change volume on the phone. During phone calls only the left earbud is utilized and active which is a little weird in the beginning, but I think I do not care. People can hear me well, so I guess the mic works as expected. The sound is great (for me) and I am using one of the equalizer presets in the app. You cannot modify the equalizer beyond the presets, but that is fine with me. Maybe a future software update adds more customization. Overall I am very happy with my choice.

Worst Battery backup
December 10, 2019
Pros - Good Bass Cons - Right ear bud doesn't work independently and doesn't have a mic. (I think Bose doesn't this feature too.) I figured it out when my left eard bud was dead and then i tried connecting just the right ear bud. That was just usel
ess.These days earbuds <$25 have these basic features. This earbud would have been great if it offers better battery backup or both ear buds work independently. - No volume control button. You always have to pull the phone out to adjust the volume. If you are in another room, it becomes hard to go back and adjust the volume or always carry the phone with you. I boufght it for $230 BTW!!!

Ekspress Kurye: İstanbul Motorlu Kurye
Kurye olarak hizmet veren kişiler, bulundukları lokasyondaki her adrese en kısa sürede ulaşma yolunu bilirler. Üstelik verilen bu görevi hava, trafik ve buna benzer diğer olumsuz şartlardan etkilenmeden yerine getirirler. Yani iş hayatı başta olmak üzere hayatın hemen her alanında önemli görevleri üstlenebilir ve başarıyla yerine getirebilirler. Özellikle büyük şehirlerdeki trafik kaosu ve adres konusundaki karmaşa göze alınırsa, kurye hizmetlerinden faydalanmanın bazı durumlarda zorunlu hale geleceği anlaşılabilir. Örneğin İstanbul'un bir noktasından diğer bir noktasına acil şekilde önemli bir evrak ulaştırmak gerektiğinde ya da hastanızın ihtiyacı olan ilacı acil ve güvenli bir şekilde ulaştırmak gerektiğinde, İstanbul moto kurye hizmetimizden faydalanarak sorununuza çözüm üretebilirsiniz.

We are proud to announce NECN's new website:
There's still a little bit to do, but please share this with anyone involved in estate churches.
Please join in the conversation – we are very happy to publish guest blogs and articles
and please let us have any comments or suggestions
Filed under: christmas, estate churches, estate ministry, necn, Uncategorized | Tags: Advent, Christmas, estate ministry, necn
I am Chair of the National Estate Churches Network. NECN is committed to flourishing estate churches, and as part of this flourishing we want our estate churches to be bigger and have more people.
But we know that many of our churches are small and that growing them is often hard, slow work.
This is one of the times of year that church leaders and clergy are really tired.
We are also now solidly in the season of social media where colleagues are sharing their successful Christmas services.
How does this all feel?
What does faithfulness and success look like for estate churches?
How do we judge if we are doing it?
Should we all take a social media break for a fortnight?
A load of slightly random thoughts, but would value your take.
Prayers for you all in the business end of Advent

NECN had this enquiry:
"I'm interested in how the church can facilitate the transformation of the built environment. I'm interested in the psychological effect of social housing on inhabitants and how good design can facilitate the presence of God in a community.
I've done a little reading in this area but I was wondering whether you might be able to direct me to any persons, resources, or organisations that you know of who work in this area or are exploring these issues."
There have been a good number of comments in different places. This post is to gather them together. Please add to this and keep the conversation going in the comments below.
Gosh … Thamesmead. Yes.
Heard a fascinating R4 programme in the summer which describes Thamesmead South (where I am) as being built by architects according to atheist principles … ie if you meet purely physical needs, you have met all human needs.
Issues like beauty / social spaces / spiritual inspiration were ignored.
The built environment therefore directly militates against everything a church aims for.
Still working out a cohesive approach … other than picking up the spiritual bits which the environment causes.
"Headspace – the psychology of city living" by Dr.Paul Keedwell is a helpful read. It deals with aspects of the built environment and how it impacts…
Tim Gorringe The Built Environment
David Walker: "Reading my book, God's Belongers may be a start. I'm also part of the NHF Great Places Commission and we've seen churches in real anchor roles."
Anne Power Estates on the Edge
"It is also worth following current housing discussions following government releasing cap on council borrowing for new building and following Grenfell wish to avoid some of the errors of the past. How the church can influence these discussions nationally is a challenge as it has not been a major player since days of Faith in the City. However in many local areas housing associations were begunChristians, and still have significant involvement. See recent tributes to Michael Eastman or Richard Farnell."
Les Crossland: Principalities, Powers and Social Structures
"Foxes have holes. Christian reflections on Britain's housing needs" ed Andrew Francis available through Ekklesia.
"I would suggest looking at work by Stephen Hill and also the latest publication by CSAN (Catholic Social Action Network) called 'Abide in Me' http://www.csan.org.uk/…/2018/11/Abide-in-Me-CSAN.pdf. Suggests more Catholic parishes should be exploring this area…"
"I wonder if the communities that engaged with the Grenfell Tower fire 18 months ago have reflections to share."
"My tuppenny worth is that the key to an environment in which people can thrive, even a not very beautiful (to some eyes) brutalist one, is some sense of collective ownership, neighbourliness, love and attention. Even so called "sink" estates can be great places to live when there is a sense of community safety, good regular maintenance and upkeep, some green planting and well used children's areas. These things can be helped by design but don't depend on it. Look at privately run tower blocks like those of the Barbican. The only difference between them and a council run Tower block is a concierge type service and good maintenance. A small but committed Christian presence in a community can be the catalyst for this kind of regeneration."
"A very practical one is the offer of non commercial meeting / conversation space – in areas of vast "urban sprawl" with no high street etc they are one of the few "public" spaces"
"Minimising sensory hell and adding some ownership."

After the Fire by Alan Everett is a profound meditation on the role of the Church in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster by the parish priest of St Clement's, Notting Dale. I would recommend this book as essential reading for all engaged in estates ministry.

It was great to be part of the NECN London Gathering last week where the Church of England's Estates Evangelism strategy was launched, and to see so many friends there.
The strategy is ambitious. This catches a glimpse of the vision:
Imagine a thriving, loving, serving, worshipping Christian community on every significant social housing estate in the country.
Imagine a church which has really grasped the truth that renewal comes from the margins and is happy to invest imagination, resources and its best leaders there.
Imagine new leaders, ordained and lay, from and for the estates churches, an army of Caedmons who can speak the Gospel in a language people understand.
Imagine priests, new and experienced, longing to serve in estates and finding in that ministry inspiration, support and a profound sense that they are changing lives.
Imagine estates residents, church leaders and theologians in rich dialogue to discern together the Good News of Jesus Christ on our estates.
Imagine even more people who live on estates finding in their local church a voice for justice, a place of service and a community of love and in so doing discover their true dignity and beauty in Jesus Christ.
There is a great film accompanying this. Watch it here:
The CofE issued this Press Release:
The Church of England is "coming back" to the estates, reversing a trend where over decades, services like shops and children's centres have withdrawn, the Bishop of Burnley has said.
In a speech delivered at the National Estate Churches Network, the Rt Revd Philip North spoke of how outer estates are to be a key priority for the Church, with the publication of a new Commitment to Action to share the Christian faith on some of the country's most deprived estates. He also launched a new film outlining the work.
The plans have been prepared by the Church's Estates Evangelism Task Group, which is chaired by Bishop Philip, and is part of the Church's Renewal and Reform programme.
Addressing the conference at St Francis at the Engine Room in Tottenham Hale, London, Bishop Philip said: "We want to have a thriving, growing, loving church on every significant estate in the country."
The group is also committed to training estates residents to become future church leaders and to supporting existing Christian communities on estates, which may see collaboration with other denominations.
Speaking about the work of existing estate churches across Dioceses, some of which have been supported by the Church's Strategic Development Funding, Bishop Philip said: "The Church is coming back. The Holy Spirit is doing amazing things on the estates of this nation."
Birmingham Diocese's Urban Estates Mission Enabler, Revd Andy Delmege, who is chair of the Estates Network and vicar at St Bede's, Brandwood in Birmingham, said: "As a priest who ministers on estates, I am very excited about these plans.
"I pray it will continue to stimulate fresh energy, vision, and resources in our existing estate churches, as well as inspiring new initiatives."
The Revd Helen Shannon, vicar of church@five on the Strawberry Estate in East Finchley, London, said: "The Church of England's vision is 'A Christian presence in every community' that means no forgotten people; no forgotten places, even in some of our toughest estates.
"I'm so excited that the Church has a growing commitment to the revitalisation of estate churches, plans to launch new estate churches where none currently exist, and a vision to raise up local people from the estates to achieve this."
Debbie Clinton, Director of Renewal and Reform, said: "Estates ministry is vital to the growth of the Church. I am delighted that as well as encapsulating the vision for estates evangelism, these new plans build on the wonderful work already being undertaken on estates churches by clergy and lay people, who are committed to meeting the spiritual and social needs of estate residents."
and you can read a good article about it in the Church Times here:
There will be more detail about the strategy and how it is being implemented as we go on. It is an attempt to put into practice the Four Strands (https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2017-11/Estates%20Evangelism%20Commitment%20to%20Action_0.pdf), which come from a great deal of consultation with estate churches and other partners.
I pray that this is something we can all get behind and that it will make the difference on the ground that we are crying out for.
NECN is one of the key partners in this (and members of our Exec are on the Estates Evangelism Group and vice versa). Our task is to help keep the energy going, to represent estate churches, to ensure things are bottom up, and to keep ecumenical perspectives at the centre. None of this can happen without your support and prayers. We will do our best to include you all and to keep you informed as things develop.
- London Gathering
One of the things that has come out of the London Gathering is that there are a number of issues that make estates feel a bit different to the rest of the country. These include
– a marked ethnic mix in populations
– rich and poor living in extremely close proximately
– a complete lack of affordable housing
– an assault on social housing
– particularly sharp issues around gangs and knife crime.
It therefore makes sense to have a Conference especially for the London Region.
If you would like to be part of the group organizing this, or if you are interested in a local NECN Group, please contact email@example.com
More news on this soon.
- NECN will have a new website very soon.
- Don't forget our National Conferences in Bradford on June 18th and Birmingham on June 20th. More details to follow.
- If you want to be on the NECN Mailing List, please contact email@example.com
please share this widely!

I was interviewed this morning on BBC Radio 4's Sunday Programme, calling for a just sharing of historic assets between dioceses so that mission and ministry at the sharp end can be supported. You can hear the interview here (it is towards the end of the segment that begins at 6 minutes).
This is a vital and urgent issue.
Here are some further thoughts to try to take the issue further and deeper.
The situation we are in is that there is a huge disparity in wealth between the different dioceses. Some (particularly the newer urban dioceses in the north and midlands like Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Birmingham) have very little in terms of historic assets and reserves. Other dioceses are in comparatively very comfortable situations.
Why should ministry be harder in these places because they are newer dioceses, formed without historic assets?
This is not posturing. My greatest concern as someone who is a parish priest and who visits and supports a lot of housing estate parishes around the country is that this directly affects mission on the ground. There is clear evidence that dioceses in more economically deprived areas with less historical assets have fewer stipendiary ministers per head of population.
This has a clear effect on our parishes and their ministry. If you have to pay more Parish Share, or your parish is larger, or your diocese is concentrating on reorganization, or you are affected by all the fear and stress that this can bring, this is going to affect your capacity for imaginative and creative mission.
The Church is investing in estate churches and estate evangelism at the moment – something which is wholehearted Good News – but the lack of fair assets in some place endangers this.
What does the Gospel say? well, it certainly does not advocate a Postcode Lottery where if you live in one place, the historic assets of the Church mean you pay less for more ministry; while if you live in another (which may well be more economically deprived), you pay more for less.
We need urgently to work out ways of justly sharing our historic wealth. Bishop Philip North reminds us clearly that The first Christians dealt with their wealth in so daring and counter-cultural a way that it proved powerfully attractive (Acts 2.44). Property and income was pooled so that there was no distinction between rich and poor, slave and free. (Read his full Church Times article here). We can do this for dioceses – we are Christians, we are part of the Church of God, we are generous.
Can we find ways of tackling this in a root and branch way, or – at the very least – with wealthier dioceses funding some things in those with least. Bishops and Diocesan Secretaries – over to you!
And the rest of us – pray, share this issue, and keep the pressure on.

Personal selections often explore the interpretation, diverse nature and extremes of the topic chosen but there are of course no wrong choices.
Our meetings are always interesting, informative and most importantly good fun. If you are interested in one of the other members' choice of books you can make a note about it & you may even be lucky enough to borrow a copy!

TAVR Grand Opening | Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point
(light pop music) – I had open heart surgery twice in 2008 and I told my lovely wife, "It ain't ever gonna happen
again, no matter what." – I would like to
acknowledge and appreciate the whole TAVR team, which is transcatheter
aortic valve replacement without doing open heart surgery, replacing the valve without
opening up the chest. – And when I found out
about the TAVR situation here at Bayonet Point, they
operated on me at 11 o'clock, at 1:30 I was finished, they
took me back to my room. And 9 o'clock that night,
I was walking the halls. – Over the last several months, I actually can see in their eyes the pride and the pleasure that
they have put into this. – The team, I can't say enough of them. I've written letters, I've sent cards, and I thanked them all tonight and I thank 'em again from
the bottom of my heart. They gave me my life back. – They have a vision. There'll be more people
coming, more skilled people, more new programs, better
care, bigger hospital, and that's what happened. I am proud of it standing here today, and I promise you, you
haven't seen the end of it. Thank you. (audience applauding)

So I wanted to try this plc after seeing their signs that say "the best BBQ". 1st off I really only like to gv good reviews, but the "BBQ" ribs were not cooked on a grill or in a smoker, they seemed to hv been baked or boiled & had no smoke flavor [they're huge tho]. I will say the fried chicken wings were good, customer service was good also. read more

Best BBQ I've found on the road...right up there with the best I've had. Easily beats Exit 87 BBQ in Tennessee and the BBQ restaurant next to Pilot in Hurricane Mills, TN. I'm normally not a fan of green beans, but theirs looked good, so I gave it a shot...damn glad I did. Best green beans on the planet as far as I'm concerned. Mac N cheese looked good too, but it was a little dry and didn't have much pep.I've eaten the brisket twice, and it has been top notch both times as was the Carolina BBQ sandwich (after trying TX and Carolina both, I must say I prefer the Carolina BBQ despite being from Texas). You may want to request extra sauce though as my sandwiches were a little dry for my liking. *As a side note, they will give you a small sample so you can taste each for yourself before you buy.* Other reviews claim the sandwiches don't have much meat, but I didn't find that to be the case for me. In fact, it had as much if not more meat than all the BBQ sandwiches I've ever had. Maybe I was lucky or those that posted negative reviews were unlucky. The folks here seem very nice, and I'd bet they might even add a bit more meat if you complained about it. I love this place. Definitely a regular stop, and the Petro across the street always has parking. I got in at 3:30 this morning and found a spot. This exit might be the best there is for a driver. read more

The coffee is a bit over priced & the dessert isn't the greatest, but who are you kidding? You didn't stop at a bbq place for the dessert. Meals a decently priced & the taste is drool worthy. The restuarant was clean & tastefully decorated. The waitress definitely had that southern charm (something I crave when I've been away from home too long). This place is worth making the stop for.read more

Let the Lord praise this bar! By a turn of the devil's trickery, me and my compadre broke down just outside of this humble farmer & truckers' town of Raphine.At first we were distraught, and believed ourselves to be relegated to a motel and small truck stop with an adjoining burger joint. Soon though, our prayers were answered, and a young local maiden led us to the other side of the interstate where a small pub was told of. Alas, we were awaited with the privilege of a speakeasy entrance, tasty grub, friendly service, a hearty round of darts, and local lager to ease our hearts' dismay of our traveling misfortune. Praise to Saint Christopher! For without Smiley's, t'would have thought Raphine to be more of a despair than actuality. Indeed it raised my spirits, and soon after a few rounds, the good Lord sent repair to our vehicle, and we departed the humble town with goodwill.read more

We ordered the nachos and some beers and a drink the drink was made with natural orange juice yummy the nachos were yummy they were just cold 🥶 🙄 cheese was melted but cold I guess they were sitting too long before we got them that was my only complaint but the pulled pork in top of that was delicious I'm looking forward to try the food cause I really liked the flavor of the meat. Employees were very friendly and courteous.

Went there yesterday (Saturday around 2pm) after visiting Wade's Mill. Even though the place was basically empty, we still had to wait a bit for our server. I had brisket (very good) with mac and cheese (would be tastier if it was actually warm) and hushpuppies (meh). Mom got both Texas and North Carolina style pulled pork, neither of which wowed us. I guess it's a good stop, but not a destination. TL/DRIt probably won't matter to anyone else, but I noticed everything was served with disposable dishware. Drinks in styrofoam cups, plastic utensils, and plastic plates. Dunno if they just don't have space to wash and store dishes, but I found it to be quite wasteful.read more

My wife didn't want to stay to eat because it wasn't that pretty on the "minimart" side of the business. I said, "They say it's the Best Darn, how can we walk away?" All of the food we had was good and the workers were very friendly. They also wore their gloves when handling food, and that means a lot to me. It was worth staying, the pork was really good, and the black berry pie dessert was wonderful. I wanted to stop on the way back through just for that.read more

LOVE their Carolina barbecue! They also have moist, tender, succulent ribs, good sides and fast, no-frills service. I always look forward to stopping there for a quick meal on my way to wherever the road is taking me. Only once did I find the pork a bit dry, and I figure everybody is going to have a off-day once in a while. I'm so glad I didn't let that one problem keep me from returning; it has never happened since. (If I had complained, which I did not do) I'm quite sure they would have made it right.)read more

Enough parking for 20 semis- more if everyone parked considerately. Brisket sandwich + potato wedges are the reason I'm leaving a review (meat is moist and packing flavor, and couldn't ask for more from a potato wedge) Overall food is delicious, parking lot is decent, store and bathroom cleanliness also fine. I recommend!read more

We would suggest the Herbalife diet reviews well for busy people and those with little time to shop and prepare meals. This product is available via the official Herbalife Personalized Protein Powder website.
Summary The Herbalife diet is convenient and easy to follow, and the soy-based shakes may even help reduce your risk of heart disease. The users who liked the shakes said the flavors were better than many other meal replacement shakes they tried.
Each shake will have between gm of protein, and around calories depending on how you make it. Herbalife does not give detailed diet advice about what to eat aside from the shakes and supplements, so you can technically have whatever you want. Our Herbalife Formula 1 review team have stated that the only way you can lose weight with these shakes is to use these shakes as your three main daily meals, with a calorie controlled diet, over a long period of time.
There are also three more types of Vanilla: Summary Choose your favorite high-protein, high-fiber and low-fat items from the grocery store for your additional meals and snacks.
A second study found that people who used meal replacement shakes for three months before transitioning to a low-calorie diet weighed less after four years than those who only dieted. Dr Heber has published plenty of research papers on the efficacy of meal replacements for weight loss.
Consumers of Protein Drink Mix are promised effects such as suppressed appetite levels and higher energy. The ShapeWorks program works out to a couple of bucks a shake. Though the shake does work for some people, others have expressed not being full enough after drinking the shakes, and this is due to the low protein amount.
Fibers Each 2 scoop serving of Herbalife shake powder contains 3g of fiber. There is even some evidence that accumulation of this protein in your body can lead to other harmful health consequences including potentially brain damage.
One piece of fruit with herbal tea concentrate and the Snack Defense supplement. Whole grains and legumes: This product is also made from non-genetically modified ingredients, for those who wish to avoid GMOs.
Type in Herbalife to any search engine and you get positive and negative opinions in equal measure. Editors Tip: Prices for the other formulas and flavors vary.

Kind of like the once elusive sound of a car alarm in a packed parking lot in the 80s to the flooded number of parked cars with car alarms today, as is the discussion of cyberattacks, cybercrimes, data breaches and such.
I remember being around seven years old and in our local K-Mart parking lot with my mom, when a sound emerged from somewhere among the parked cars. That's the first time I had ever heard a car alarm. Today, a car alarm is an annoyance at best and not really "heard" by many people anymore.
Likening that to the cyber world, I remember becoming so intrigued with cybersecurity, cyberattacks, cybercrimes and such about 10 years ago, when I became heavily involved in social media. It was something exciting and different than had ever been seen before in true crime stories that intrigue and whet the public's palates. Fast-forward to today, and it's become common-place to see these types of stories throughout all aspects of media reporting — online articles and blogs; social media platforms; TV news stories; documentaries; radio reporting; etc., so much so, that people are already or becoming numb to it, passing it off as just "one of those things we have to deal with in life." However, especially as a security professional, cyberattacks and data breaches not only shouldn't be taken lightly, they absolutely cannot be, as they have literally ruined business and people. So, I ask you: "Are you ready and prepared?"
Sad to say, but if you're like the majority of the over 800 CISOs and other senior executives across North America, Europe and Asia, surveyed (commissioned by FireEye and delivered by Kantar, an independent market research organization), the answer is unfortunately, "no." The study found that:
The survey also highlighted varying global viewpoints. In Asia, Japan plans to prioritize detection capabilities in 2020 and expresses concerns regarding cloud security, while Korea believes nation states are the most likely source of cyberattacks. The U.S. is leading the transition to cloud; Germany is concerned about cloud security and France believes employee training to be a top protection measure.
I urge you, don't become a parked car in a sea of cyberattacks and data breaches with your alarm going off and people just walking by like nothing is wrong. Prepare by creating a plan and know/understand exactly how to execute that plan before, during and after a cyberattack or data breach. This is a must. Think about it – it can't be underestimated just how smart cybercriminals really are; it's all they focus on day in and day out. They are experts at their craft and we must know how to prevent as must as possible and reciprocate, when necessary, to stay safe.
YARMOUTH, Maine—As ink was flying and signatures made on Monday, September 23, on the Joint Statement on Advancing Responsible State Behavior in Cyberspace, representing the 27 countries committed to upholding this international rules-based order, an evolving framework that guides responsible state behavior in cyberspace, memories resurfaced of my dad and grandmother, both of whom never got to see, much less interact with, the Web.

Pastor Rod is just coming back from vacation this week, We hope you enjoy this article he wrote in 2004.
I sure am glad that history doesn't always listen to Congress when it speaks. If it did...well, America wouldn't be what it is today, that's for sure. In fact, you and I wouldn't even be Americans! I'm not exactly sure what we would be—Russians, Mexicans, subjects of the British monarchy?—none of the possibilities do much for me; but if Congress had had its way, back in 1821, one such scenario would be our lot today.
1821 was the year Thomas Hart Benton stood up in the Senate and argued for the federal recognition of a few lonely American trappers and settlers who had made the outrageous journey westward, over the Rockies and out into the regions of Oregon, Washington, and California. Up until that time, everybody but the Americans were trying to take over those lands: Russians were coming down from their settlements in Alaska; the British had chased all the French back up into Canada and were starting to take over the fur trade; even Spain was feebly hoping to expand its crumbling empire up from California. But Americans were few and far between, and when they showed up, they were anything but welcome!
Benton had already been harping about it in his St. Louis newspaper for a couple of years; but when he got elected to the Senate, he and a colleague, John Floyd of Virginia, introduced a series of bills designed to challenge the European takeover. The bills included everything from establishing Territories in the Northwest to building military posts along emigrant trails to protect the westward journey.
Sounds like a plan to me.
Incredibly, it didn't to Congress. That year, every single one of those bills was shot down for one reason or another. And one of the reasons, I know, is going to make you smile. Here's how it came out in the congressional record:
"Nature has fixed limits to our nation; she has kindly interposed as our Western barrier, mountains almost inaccessible, whose base she has skirted with irreclaimable deserts of sand. This barrier our population can never pass—if it does, it becomes the people of a new world, whose connexions (sic), whose feelings, and whose interests are not with us, but with our antipodes." 1
This is classic stuff—a barrier our population can never pass? Spoken by the nation that would one day put a man on the moon!
Isn't it interesting how 'barriers' work? The very first pronouncement a 'barrier' in-spires is always one of gloom and defeat. Deserts can't be crossed, mountains can't be scaled, and Man must stay in his place, content within his dismal boundaries. Then someone comes along, looks up at that barrier ... and envisions a trail! That's when everything changes!
Do you know what l think is sad? Our generation is becoming more and more like that Congress of 1821. My!—how easily we can be intimidated by the barriers around us!
The barriers to our 'War on Drugs' are now being touted as 'impassible'. Let's just legalize drugs and be done with it. The obstacles to keeping our border secure? Overwhelming! Let's just do away with borders!
The barriers to our children's purity certainly have us intimidated. So...we won't try to overcome them? Just hand out more con-doms? And keep abortion handy just in case?
In our personal lives, barriers loom on every side: barriers to a successful marriage; barriers to a happy family; barriers between the races; the barriers of addiction, mental disorder, anxiety, guilt, and fear. Everywhere we look, barriers are staring us in the face: barriers to hope, peace, and lasting happiness.
And to a generation that has no faith, every barrier is a vast Mojave; an impassible range of Rockies.
Jesus Christ had nothing but contempt for 'barriers', have you noticed? Everywhere He went, He blazed the trail and led the way to peace and hope, liberty and forgiveness. "All things are possible," He once told a broken-hearted man, "only believe." Mk 9:23 In fact Jesus repeated that claim four other times in His preaching (Mt 19:26; Mk 10:27; 14:36; Lk 18:27).
Ultimately, Christ tears down all the barriers! That empty tomb comes first to mind, of course, but you'll find ample proof on every page of our Scriptures!
And you—dear follower and minister in this church—you bear His stamp! For you as well 'barriers' are nothing! Don't grow weary, dear Christian! That struggling little Oregon trail you're blazing now will someday become...well—how does the Bible describe it?----a 'highway in the wilderness" for many a needy heart. Is 43:19
We're on for Sunday, right? So glad to be back. See you there! RAS

2265. EBB to RB
As published in The Brownings' Correspondence, 12, 166–168.
[Postmark: 21 March 1846]
I do not understand how my letters limp so instead of flying as they ought with the feathers I give them, & how you did not receive last night, nor even early this morning what left me at two oclock yesterday. But I understand now the not hearing from you—you were not well. Not well, not well .. that is always "happening" at least. And Mr Moxon, who is to have his first sheet, whether you are well or ill!. It is wrong .. yes, very wrong—and if one point of wrongness is touched, we shall not easily get right again—as I think mournfully, feeling confident (call me Casandra, [1] but I cannot jest about it) feeling certain that it will end (the means being so persisted in) by some serious illness—serious sorrow, .. on yours & my part.
As to Monday, Mr Kenyon said he would come again on Sunday .. in which case, Monday will be clear. If he should not come on sunday, he will or may on monday,—yet .. oh, in every case, perhaps you can come on monday—there will be no time to let you know of Mr Kenyon—& probably we shall be safe .. & your being in town, seems to fix the day. For myself I am well enough, & the wind has changed, which will make me better—this cold weather oppresses & weakens me—but it is close to April & cant last & wont last .. it is warmer already. Beware of the notes! They are not Ba's .. except for the insolence—nor EBB's .. because of the carelessness. If I had known, moreover, that you were going to Moxon's on monday, they should have gone to the fire rather than provoked you into superfluous work for the short interval. Just so much are they despised by both EBB & Ba. [2]
I am glad I did not hear from you yesterday because you were not well, & you must never write when you are not well. But if you had been quite well, should I have heard?—I doubt it– You meant me to hear from you only once, from thursday to monday. Is it not the truth now that you hate writing to me?
The Athenæum takes up the 'Tales from Boccaccio' [3] as if they were worth it, & imputes in an underground way the authorship to the members of the "coterie" so called——do you observe that? There is an implication that persons named in the poem, wrote the poem themselves. And upon whom does the critic mean to fix the song of "Constancy" .. the song which is "not to puzzle anybody" who knows the tunes of the songwriters? The perfection of commonplace it seems to me– It might have been written by the "poet Bunn". [4] Dont you think so?
While I write this you are in town, but you will not read it till sunday unless I am more fortunate than usual. On monday then!– And no word before? No—I shall be sure not to hear tonight– Now do try not to suffer through Luria– Let Mr Moxon wait a week rather– There is time enough.
Ever your Ba–

1. The Trojan princess who possessed the gift of prophecy but with the accompanying curse that her prophecies were never believed.
2. For the text of EBB's notes on Luria, see vol. 11, pp. 393–399.
3. Powell's Tales from Boccaccio, with Modern Illustrations, and Other Poems was reviewed in the 21 March 1846 issue of The Athenæum (no. 960, pp. 288–289). In the passages that appeared, Talfourd, Horne and RB were mentioned. Also included was the "Second Damsel's Song" with the subtitle "Constancy." In the following letter RB identifies Chorley as the author of the review, which is confirmed by the marked file of The Athenæum, now at City University (London). Tales had been reviewed with Browning's Dramatic Romances and Lyrics in the New Quarterly Review; see letter 2171, note 11.
4. The name given by Punch to Alfred Bunn (1796–1860) because of his feeble attempts at writing verse. He was the manager of two of London's three patent theatres, Drury Lane and Covent Garden. In 1833 he was instrumental in getting a bill for the abolition of patent theatres thrown out of the House of Lords, which led to his being universally disliked by the artistic community.
