I grew up watching the Lakers with my grandpa, and at the end of every season, they had something called exit interviews. No matter how good or bad the year went you sat down in front of cameras and got asked a series of questions about the season. It was always a frank conversation. When everything was going great, the interviews were kind of pointless, but bad years kicked off the started of a rocky offseason. I especially enjoyed watching Kobe's exit interview because he never held back.
I found out a few weeks ago a friend of mine was transitioning into a new season of his life. He was leaving a thriving online ministry to help more churches go to the next level. I pitched him the idea of the exit interview and said he was game (pun intend).
Jeff Reed was the Online Pastor at Christ Fellowship in Miami for the last three years. Currently, he is helping churches with online ministry and much more over at thechurch.digital. I ask Jeff a series of questions relating to his role as an online pastor. I ask how his leadership could have better helped him be successful and what he would have done differently in retrospect. It's a fun conversation that I know you will enjoy, but more importantly, find helpful.
I want to thank Jeff for your openness and make sure you to check out thechurch.digital.
Jay: Okay, so I got my friend here, Jeff Reed, who was an online pastor and, just recently transitioned, and we're going to have a fun exit interview style. So Jeff, thanks for much for hanging out with me.
Jeff: Hey Jay. My pleasure. Thanks for having me on.
Jay: Yeah. So, so I, I've kind of pitched this to you. We were talking about a kind of this transition for you and you can go to thechurch.digital. I'll put kind of links there, but you can kind of see what he's doing. Jeff is a great mind in the online space and in and beyond that kind of and now he's moving into this phase where he's helping ministries and all these different ventures. So if you kinda like what you're hearing, you can kind of reach out to him to kind of learn more on how to kind of partner with him and a bunch of ways. But I just like randomly when you were telling me about what was going on and were you thinking about this next phase with your family and kind of your career. I was like, dude, would you be up for an exit interview as an online faster? And you were like, yeah, let's do it.
Jeff: Yeah. It's an interesting concept. There's a lot of stuff. I was worked in a church is an online class, the role for probably three years and if there was stuff that I knew today that if I knew that for years ago, man, things I believe would've gone a lot different. So take, take some, some wisdom advice here from somebody who's been in your shoes, who's, uh, who's fought for church online. And let me, let me help you out a through, through this interview, but also, man, anything that I can do through the church that digital, I would love to do that.
Jay: I love it. I love it. So, so the concept of an exit interview, if you're not familiar with it, if anybody's listening to this and not sure, it's the whole idea, is that usually on your last day of work, if you're not been terminated and inappropriate way, most large organizations will interview you to kind of like, Hey, what could we have done better? And it's usually just input to kind of help kind of grow the organization my church does that. I think you had told me, even your church did something that with you where you could share some stuff. Um, and the same thing's true. I actually have a visual of this with um, with sports a lot of times on the day after a sporting event and the season ends, there'll be like a, something like a, an interview that happens with the team. So like the Lakers, the, you know, the end of the season or even the warriors who just one, there'll be like this as an interview. So this is the format that I was envisioning and I'm really excited. So like with this, uh, first off, tell me a little bit about Christ Fellowship. How long you Christ Fellowship in Miami because there's a lot of the Christ Fellowships out there. Um, how long. So you were there for three years and kind of tell me a little bit about your role and the scope of things there.
Jeff: Sure. I've had been off and on with a on staff at Christ Fellowship for 20 plus years, believe it or not, and most recently I was on stretch for about three years where I came on board as a digital strategist. Basically helping the church develop a digital strategy of understanding, you know, communications, but also digital missions, how to create a strategy of biblical community online, grew from that into an online campus pastor role or operated in conjunction doing that as well as other, um, random jobs that would pop up and have a strong background in it and live production. So it was involved in that. And at one point it was weekend experience interim for a while and just, no, no all over the map helping Fellowship. But in my heart of it all roads kind of fed back into that online experience to the online campus to grading online communities and context of, of the church.
Jay: Gotcha. And I know that's something as we kind of, we, we've hung out a couple times in person and that's something that I very very clear as one of your strengths is that you kind of have this breadth of knowledge, not only on the pastoral but also the technical and a lot of that live production too. Because I know that something, you know, as I talked to churches about even how we do stuff at my church, I'm like, you know, I have team members I rely on for a lot of this stuff and you're, you had, you have way more knowledge and you really can help a church from kind of start to stop. Really. I'm not just high level stuff and that's something I remember. I just saw that. Is that something that you just kind of picked up or is that something that you were kind of forced to figure out?
Jeff: You know, what's interesting is over 10 years of my life as I've worked in different churches doing ministry, my job title should probably be problem solver. It's just been church acts would be like, hey, we're having problems in production. Can you dive into that? Sure. I can. Let me go later on. It'd be, hey, we're having problems in creative. Do you mind being creative director and fixing some of that? Sure, I can. Let's go. Hey, we're having problems with communications. Can you tackled communications and dive into that. Sure, let's go. Uh, and so really just have been very, you know, tried to be humble in that environment, but also moldable and flexible to what the, what the church wants. You know, I, I've had passions and things that I've wanted to work on and, projects and directions that I've wanted the church to go. And interestingly, like churches sometimes don't align with the vision of what a staff wants to. And this is going to be a later conversation, but realizing at what point do you abandoned the desires that you want to do and instead help the church reach the goals and its mission and that vision. And so really over the past 10 years, man, I've probably had 10 or 11 job titles is just. And that's not know. Normally when you hear that, it's like, oh, that's just a bad employee. They're bouncing around from left to right. You know, I don't know that that's, that's the case for me. It's been, you know, just problem solving and helping plug in holes of ministry teams that were getting established and learning along the way. Learning is so critical.
Jay: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense here, that makes a lot of, especially with specifically where you were, where you kind of were positioned the last couple of years where the whole, like there's just a lot of problem solving generally with online ministry. And this is kind of where we're going here with some of these questions because it isn't this, hey, Google this or like type into, you know, like a couple of days a week ago I had to, we got a new dishwasher and I just went to youtube and I was like, how to install a dishwasher, you know, and I figured it out, you know, it's like, oh, okay, this is how I did. And I, and I, I did it where like with online ministry, there wasn't necessarily that plugin play when you kinda stepped into this role. And so I could see why your church, I, you know, there's a, there's a benefit to that. So let's, let's, let's do this. So that, my next question here on this official exit interview interview with Jeffrey to have the church.digital is a, would you, what would you change if anything, of how you were organizationally positioned as an online pastor?
Jay: would do you, would you have rathered been treated more as a campus or less of a campus? Now, looking back, I'm curious about this because I think this is a big wine for the one that I get a lot is, are you a campus or you just kind of some kind of hybrid or are you not treated as well as the campus?
Jay: That's well said. And I think it's funny, I was just thinking about this with yeah, with my role, I'm always teetering know do I want to be treated more as a campus or less as a campus and I just was, I just posted something myself about like full assimilation for online ministry because of that very topic that I feel like we're, we're, we're pushing things like facebook, you know, like I'm part of the facebook live experience for our church, but somehow that's not directly tied into my community outside of just, it's, it's a stream, but like I want all that followup. And so there's this. Why is the online pastor just part of this part? But now that, the other part in that, that's the, that's the big thing is if you're making it a campus then you're saying all this is theirs. But really I liked the way you said that digital communication and communication overall, that there is more of a merge. It should just be, it's the place you go. It's, it's saying advertising. You don't need to say online advertising anymore. Really. You just say advertising and people assume when you're talking about facebook ads in this, but that's a, that's an, that's a good perspective. Okay. So the, so the next thing, kind of maybe not covering what we've already talked about positionally, but is there anything you leadership could have done different to make you more successful and I'm assuming they did a lot to make you successful of course, but is there anything you kind of just like now looking back of this would have been handled differently? This probably would have happened in sometimes that stuff you can't really see, but like we can evaluate it. So I'm, I'm curious if there's something you would. Oh yeah, this was handled differently. If I, if, if money would have been here like this would have been able to vent, like we, we would have been able to capitalize more here.
Jeff: Yeah, I'm Christ Fellowship is a, as a, as a church was, was phenomenal, uh, in my time spent there all across the board. I think the one thing, and this is, this may sound a little counter intuitive here, but, but some of what I think that, that actually I have wanted to improve or something that, that may be hurt was the amount of freedom that I was kind of given up front. There was a, there was a season of the church where they basically took my leash off and they said, you know, just go to town, do whatever you can do. And that was a lot of, uh, there was a lot of expanse of ministry, uh, at Christ Fellowship. At one point we were doing online services in English. We were doing online services in Spanish, online services for the American sign language and deaf and we were even doing a kids a service. And so there was online groups in English, Spanish death. There were, uh, we didn't do kids groups for online for obvious kind of stalker reasons, uh, but we did create, you know, all of these specific environments fully functioning within that. And, uh, and it was, it was incredible. It was phenomenal. Uh, but, but what we were doing also with stretching the resources that we had for online too thin and at the same time we weren't necessarily looking at the mission and the vision of what the church was doing at the time. Uh, we were, we were creating, man, I hate to use the word silo because I just hate having siloed systems, but we were really creating a silo separate from the church. Yeah. We had the lead pastor but, and, and the teaching and English and it was translated into Spanish and interpreted for asl. But it was separate from the vision. It's, you know, of, of what Christ Fellowship is doing. And so as a result of that, we can honestly, we had to even reevaluate some of the ministry we were doing. We aligned some of the things in and restructure it in ways that it could help, uh, more towards the mission and the vision of what it was doing. Probably the, probably the thing that they could have done for me just clearly stated is to hold me back in line or to what they really wanted and not kind of what my passions was coming into it.
Jeff: Run for a short period of time, but, all things do come, come to an end and you know, and aligning and, and truthfully, we still do. We still do Spanish at Christ Fellowship. And so we kept that environment on. The reason we do is we as a church is uniquely positioned here in Miami, Florida, uh, with global impact. We've got a campus in Columbia, Jamaica, a Guatemala and Nicaragua and 70. There's 70 different nationalities basically comprised within people who are active at Christ Fellowship, at least seven different nationalities. So we're very much a blended melting pot and if you want to, if you want to reach not only my Auntie, but if you want to reach internationally, you have to have a Spanish arm. And what better way to have a, you know, to be able to reach out there to ministry and to resource the people in Latin and South America then through an online campus. And so that was honestly, that was one of the huge wins was recreated this Spanish campus at, along for online at the same time as they started doing the church, started doing things globally and all of a sudden we're able to send resources and an equip, a teaching pastors and uh, and uh, in other situations with video teaching or discipleship material in different languages and resources. And so like there's wind for that. And then there's also times to kind of reevaluate and say, hey, this really is doing the purpose that we wanted it to do. The metrics don't really show that it's getting the engagement for what it's worth. And then being, you know, man enough to those situations to made, okay, we sailed, it was wrong to do what we wanted to do. There's nothing wrong with daily. And then kind of moving onto the next thing.
Jay: Yeah. Which, yeah, so much. Yeah. So much there. So, okay, let's, let's, let's keep this going, this exit interview with, uh, I keep picturing like lights flashing, taking photos of you like at a desk with like a branded, you know, like that's what I'm envisioning this, this exit interview, a very specific way with the church.digital branding. You know, I'm a repeated logo. Okay. So this is kind of kind of hits in the same vein, but I specifically, is there anything that you would do different looking back at your role? So not your leadership, none about your positioning. Is there anything that you would do different that, okay, if I, if I would have handled this this way, is there something we haven't covered that you kind of like? Yeah, this probably would have helped me be a little bit more successful in my role.
Jeff: I don't, I, yeah, I, I, and it's all kind of loosely tied together, but this idea of creating the siloed effect versus, okay, I'm going to literally implant myself among the central staff of the church. I'm going up, I'm going to align myself so closely with the creative director, with the communications director, with the, with the worship guys, just even more so, not there was a lot of times where I was like, hey, you know what, I trust you guys Kinda so to make it work and I do trust them and even today I still trust him. It's a great staff and it's a great environment. But to put myself in the midst of that and say, okay, let's collectively make this decision together. And not that it's something separate from but, but something that of really, I think that would be the wind. Just man, stay away from silos, stay away from not from creating something separate from Church Dna and do everything you can to, uh, to celebrate the wins when, when you get a, when you get victories, when you did that, that online small group that's covering two to three continents when you launch it. And, and as exciting as it is when you, when you launched that small group in Africa, Nigeria, man, celebrate that. Screaming from the rooftops that, that, that happened, that, that existed. And, and, and let your church knows so that they can celebrate with you. If you separate it, you're wins and losses are yours. They're not, they're not churches. You do it together. The wins and losses are there, the churches and you're better off that way.
Jay: Yeah. I don't think people, especially starting out, you know, you can't overstate that. Building those partnerships with other teams is so essential because yeah, the, your, your campus, your community, however you want to define it as an online pasture. It, everything is important. The brand name to the way the website works to the streaming provided to the video team to what's actually happening during service. All that stuff. And I, I, and that's something we are still wrestling with in my ministry and it's like, well, part of it is just, have I even talked to that person or do I just, do I have a relationship with that person? It might just asking, that, that, what you just said there, that's so important. Not to be siloed. I know for me the hard part is always been is that I don't really go into the office a lot inherently because I can do my job from anywhere and so I've had talks with my team about, hey, you know, I know we don't have to go in the office every day but we need to be around those people were, were you in the office a lot or did you find yourself in seasons?
Jeff: Yeah, I was in the office a lot but, but my story is that I was more on the ics, on the far extremes of the office. Got Ya. Was kind of like in the, in the, in the offices on the far right or the far left and, and the, you know, the creative department was in another building or up the stairs and I didn't interface with them. Wardship was in a completely different building and, and I just, I didn't pure confession here. I just didn't make the effort to necessarily engage with them as much as I probably should have. You know, I was more of just respectfully, I don't want to step on your toes. I know you're busy doing a lot of different things, but engaging with them to me, I think not only gives more credibility to the ministry that you're bringing in, more awareness to them, but I think it gives them value. Hey, you're a busy guy too, online campus pastor, you're busy with what you're doing and you're taking your time to value and to breathe on this moment, to breathe on this service, to breathe on. Uh, the creative elements, the environment. Uh, and it's, it's a, if it's done in a collaborative way, it's incredibly powerful. If it's done in a, in a dictator way of my, it's my way or the highway, you know, you're not gonna get anywhere quickly with that.
Jay: Yeah, that makes sense. Okay. So the next question here is kind of out there, because there's not a lot of people doing this. So you're one of the few people that just kind of. I will say this, there's a lot of people thinking about this. There's not a lot of people that have actually tried it, and specifically using online ministry to kind of facilitate, start care for house churches and yeah, there's been tons of theory. I read a book years ago about this where somebody like church planting mentioned it and actually it was really negative about it. I've had all sorts of people come up to me because we, we've tried different things saddleback has. And but you guys were doing this and you're kind of on the inside view. So I'm curious, what do you think needs to happen for ministries to really specifically churches to really leverage online ministries to kind of start house churches? What are some of the barriers? What needs to push forward with? What are some of the things need to happen to make this more of a mainstream strategy? Not like on the, on the side?
Jay: I know I, I use this example all the time is that if you're in Dallas and you're looking for a church, it's simple, straightforward. But when you get onto this fringes, it's, it's, it does get really. It gets hard. And even in America there's places people don't really realize that, you know, I think it's like less than 12 percent of America is actually populated with people. Most of America doesn't have people on it like geography wise. And so you have these huge areas that are dense with people that have all the churches, but when you get super remote, there's just not a ton of options. And then you got to figure out what are those options that exist and it might not be a biblically, a biblical church that aligns with what you believe. And then on top of this, and I know Jeff, you know this, is people are responding to your, your, the way you do worship, the way you do preaching. And they want a church similar to that. And so now what you're saying is maybe your church is super dynamic. That's why it's online. Maybe it's, you know, it's doing these things and now you're pushing them maybe to the only option within 30 miles is this super conservative church, which is not a bad thing, but the thing that, that they're going to easily assimilate it. It's, it's, it's not as easy as like, oh here, there's tons of churches in the world. It's, there are, but they're usually in very dense areas and the online outreach that most ministries are doing, it's, it's, it's everywhere. And so I was just talking yesterday with somebody in Panama City and they were actually needed some help and I was trying to find them a church that might know more of the local resources and I'm just like, I was doing some google searching. I'm like, this is stuff that nobody else on my staff has to finding. Okay, wait, what churches are there, what are their options? And it's just, it's a, it's a very unique thing. And so I love what you're thinking about is potentially using something like this to kind of train people, start movements and think about what does that look like? So you guys had one of these, right? That wasn't too far from you. What was it in the keys kind of area, right? That kinda got Roland. Can you share a little bit about that?
Jeff: Let me, let me share it. Let me share that story. So maybe two years ago, went down and we just, we had this idea and this, this was, this was a pipe dream back then of what does it look like to start a house church? And we had a, uh, a mutual friend from Christ Fellowship that moved down to key west, which is three hours away from our, our main campus in all of our campuses in Miami. It's about a three hour drive from Miami. And so, she, she moved down there to the keys, had a conversation with some of our church leadership, uh, possibly doing something down there. Long Story Short, I found myself on, on a car ride down just to talk with people down there in the keys. And I probably did three or four trips down to the keys and we'd meet one, one person, one trip, tell them about our church, tell them about, you know, the theological style, the teachings, the worship style, listen to them, listen to them, talk about their experience of church in the keys, uh, and just engage with them and listen and allow them to process through where they're at. So one trip we met with one person, the next trip we met with to the next trip, we met with eight. And at one point it was a, it was a Thursday night football. It was a Thursday night football game was on, we were at some Mexican restaurant, it was way too loud and I'm sitting in front of 18 people and I'm doing this pitch and I'm talking about doing Alice Tripp in the Mexican restaurant. So we're in the keys. Yes, they do serve Mexican food in the Florida keys. Uh, and so I'm in there and I'm talking to them about God. I'm talking to him about Christ Fellowship, about church, about the idea of starting a house church. And My sales pitch that night didn't go too long because they were, this group has already bought hook, line and sinker. And literally I was like, okay, so here's what we're going to do. Why don't we want to come back down here in a couple weeks? And, let's, do a house church service and anybody want to volunteer their house. And before I could even get that far, uh, some guy raises his hand and says, look, Jeff, I haven't been at church in three years. I don't have two weeks to wait to go back. We need to, we need to start now. And so it was, it was a Thursday night and I told the guy, I was like, Hey, I'm, I'm supposed to go on vacation next week. And he's like, please is there. And so my vacation, which was supposed to start my day, ended up starting Tuesday and Monday night we did a house church service down in the Florida keys out of the House church service man. It looks, uh, it looks different. They got together at 6:00 PM on a, on a Sunday night. They get together and do a potluck dinner. They made it at somebody's home every week. The guys name was Darryl's the nominal, a man of God and a great leader. Uh, but he would do dinner for 18 people and they would, they'd sit around in a living room, sometimes they would watch the worship from one of our services. Sometimes they would watch like youtube lyric video worship. Uh, and sometimes they had like an acoustic guitar and a gym bag jamming out, you know, really tied flies in the living room. It just depend upon whatever the week was a, it's kind of surreal. We're watching people raised their hands in worship watching a TV screen, but it happens like they're 18. You engaged in this. There are 18 people who are writing notes as the, as the lead pastor is preaching his message and who are saying eight men when the pastor says something, you know, impactful like engagement level, what we experienced at the online, uh, at the, at the house churches, it was, it was real. And so for Christ Fellowship, they kind of followed that model and started creating some other house churches in key areas. We actually started in New York City next because we had a leader who is up there in that area and it started even gathering and starting to really create second generation house churches in groups from there. Uh, and we started a, a house church recently in Orlando. Kind of the same situation where there was a strong leader in the area. And that's now we're working towards gathering people together and clustering them into the idea of, of, of starting more. Now, the, the method that Christ Fellowships taken is to use this for a potential, uh, campus launches or church launches. And that's the good thing about that is as Christ Fellowships has found a way to tie this into their mission and vision, uh, we kind of, what was a siloed thing you'll pay online campus is going to create their own things. When we looked at what the mission and vision of the churches, we just had to kind of realign that to what the, uh, what the actual church has mission and vision was and what they wanted to do and as a result, like it's going well. It's not been gangbusters. It's hard. The biggest challenge I think that the church, the sending church will have is to replicate the DNA from places that are far away. You know, when I needed to have a face to face conversation with Darryl, I would drive down to the keys a three, three days, three hours down, three hours up, have time for a two to three hour meeting if necessary, and just flesh suit things occasionally to see how he's doing. Now, of course, you know, zoom and video conferencing is a great thing, but, but even still in, in situations like our Orlando Group, which is four hours so close, but you know, New York City, which is eight hours, like it's, it's a, it's a much more, uh, it's a much more difficult challenge and, and that's been the thing that just requires due attention to continued to lead at the level that you can equip and empower leaders to lead online campus isn't about us, it's about empowering others, uh, to do ministry, to lead, to share, to disciple others. And so it's empowering that next generation, however best possible.
Jeff: just add, take the time to get leadership on board with you are and where you're going, where you want to go. You know, it's, it's very, it's very easy to kind of run off into assume they don't under your fancy technology. And even if they say just go, it's okay. It's still take the, take the time to bring them along. Because as you get leadership, buy in, buy in equals budget equals staffing equals resourcing that down the road. And, and you may find yourself quickly on a road, you know, basically just take it from somebody who was there. I kind of ran myself out to the end of the dock, turned around and was like, hey, where is it buddy? I'm out here all by myself. And there was a season of alignment for me. I literally spent probably four to six months stopping stopping the road that I was on, backing up and bringing leadership, bringing know the leadership of the church up to par with where I was and I found out once I got to that point, kind of the knowledge and expertise that they brought into the equation was phenomenal. It truly was, was game changing with that because they weren't, they were looking at everything, hang that up, was doing technological perspective, but what I really needed was a pastoral perspective and an insight from that and bringing them up to par with where I was brought them a much more a pastoral leadership and Guidance and quality coaching than I ever had when I was just out there by myself. So much as the desire is to run ahead, don't run ahead, bring them along with you in that process and grow them at the same time as you're growing yourself.
Jeff: It's great to talk with you and if there's anything that I could do to help the churches out there with coaching, which direction, guidance, technological help, a software help, anything, reach out to me. Let me help your church take it to the next level.
Jay: Yeah. So go to thechurch.digital. I'll put links for sure, but check out all his stuff and he's riding a bunch now too, so there's, I've been following along so make sure you're on his list and so forth. But thanks Jeff.
Jeff: Thanks Jay. Have a good one.

IS your mouth on fire... can you still breath....is one side of your face going numb and are you going blind out of 1 eye from eating a pepper you grew?? No? Well then its not hot enough and you didn't get it from Peppers by mail!!
PBM is THE place to get hot peppers from. Germination rate is THROUGH THE ROOF... seed product is always heavy and never short... just can't say enough about PBM.
I am a veteran grower (outdoor garden and indoor garden/hydroponic) I regularly start over 700 seeds indoors every year (late feb to early march) and end up with somewhere around 600 plants. (Not all are peppers... sorry.. I have to do other veggies also for the family) out of the hot peppers, I usually have a germination rate of 98% or more. (yes... that is true.. I am a nerd and keep detailed records). I buy literally all of my hot pepper seeds (except for 1 strain that is not available on here) from AJ (PBM).
Anyway... just wanted to introduce myself.
I am sure there are a ton of people on here that can answer questions, but I am available if anyone wants any pointers.
Last year we harvested approx 70-75lbs of hot peppers... Picture attached...and in the picture, that was not even the entire amount.
I love growing peppers...drying them... making hot sauces... and most importantly... eating them.

This restaurant called 'Tofu Village' is a got-it-all restaurant, that is healthy, tasty, affordable, and Korean. What more can I say?
Some of you who are into Korean food, and have been to Christie (Korean town in Downtown Toronto), may already know about this amazing restaurant, but for those who are unaware of it and are looking for a Korean restaurant with affordable price and good taste, this is it!
Tofu village's signature dish is a soup called 'Soon tofu'. 'Soon' means soft in Korean, meaning soft tofu. They offer seven kinds of soon tofu, and you can choose how spicy you want it to be. You can choose from plain (non-spicy), mild, medium, and spicy. In the picture, my friend has ordered a plain soon tofu (without red pepper powder) and I have ordered a spicy soon tofu. To me they were both very delicious! I could taste the sweet broth and a touch of ginger in the non-spicy soon tofu and enjoy the ever so hot and spicy broth in mine.
The soon tofu soups are served with rice and side dishes. Side dishes we were served with were kimchi, seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned fried tofu, and seasoned tofu and broccoli. A raw egg is served per soup along with the side dishes, for you to put into the soup.They make different side dishes everyday but kimchi is something you can always count on!
Personally, the best part of the soon tofu soup is the rice! The rice comes out of the kitchen in a hot stone pot, and the server will scoop out the rice onto another dish for you to eat first. Then the server pours water into the hot stone pot which makes Sungnyung (scorched-rice water). If you have never tried it, I suggest you try it here!
Also, If you are a heavy eater, you can make your soon tofu a combo with other dishes as well. On the third page of the menu, they offer Korean BBQ beef (Bulgoki), Korean BBQ Pork, Grilled Chicken with Teriyaki Sauce, Korean BBQ Beef Rib (Galbi), Mixed Vegetables with rice (Bibimbob), and Mixed Vegetables with rice in hot stone pot (Dolsot Bibimbob). They also have cold buckwheat noodles, so if you have a noodle person coming along with you, you can suggest those to your friends.
The restaurant is in Christie two stores beside the PAT, at 681 Bloor Street West, Toronto.
If you are taking public transit, I suggest you get off at Christie station, walk towards Bloor street, turn right, keep walking until you see the big red sign saying Tofu village.
Hope you enjoy your time at this wonderful restaurant as much as I did, and I will come back with more great Korean restaurants in Toronto!

Are transgender men and women who take hormones at risk for heart disease?
By American Heart Association News
(nito103 via Depositphotos)
The impact of hormone therapy on the heart health of transgender men and women has been the subject of several studies published within the last year. But medical experts and researchers aren't ready to sound the alarm just yet.
"We have to recognize that hormones can be lifesaving therapy for trans people," said Dr. Richard Greene, an associate professor at New York University School of Medicine. "The answer is figuring out how to give them safely and how to modify some of these cardiovascular risk factors in the best way possible."
One study found that transgender women who take hormones were more than twice as likely to have a stroke and deep vein clots compared to cisgender men and women – or people who identify as the sex they were assigned at birth. In addition, both trans women and trans men had a higher risk of heart attack than cisgender women.
Still, the findings aren't enough reason for doctors to stop prescribing hormones – primarily estrogen to transgender women and testosterone to transgender men. Greene said he found some of the science behind the more recent research "problematic."
Many of the studies don't ask how long a person has identified as transgender or consider the kinds of hormones being used. Some older types of estrogen are associated with higher risk for stroke, he said. In addition, most studies did not ask whether the individuals taking hormones considered themselves non-binary, or not identifying as either man or woman.
But Greene applauded the overall focus of the latest research and described the studies as significant.
"What's amazing is that we're actually asking a question about trans people and their health that's not about their gender and not about their psychosocial well-being," he said. "We're asking questions that say trans people are in our clinics and are in our health care system, and we need to take the best evidence-based care of them that we can."
He said transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy can best reduce their cardiovascular risks through heart-healthy basics and by meeting regularly with a primary care physician.
Transgender individuals, however, don't engage in preventive care at the same rate as cisgender people, primarily because they fear discrimination or lack resources and easy access.
"There are certainly plenty of (trans) people who only see an endocrinologist for hormones and don't have other medical providers engaged in their care," said Zil Goldstein, a family nurse practitioner and the associate medical director at New York's Callen-Lorde Community Health Center. "That means there's not really anyone whose job it is to focus on things like getting a flu vaccine, or getting cholesterol and health screenings."
Goldstein said transgender patients also should be screened for substance abuse, depression and psychological distress, all contributors to heart disease.
Greene agreed. He said recent research has helped raise awareness among some medical professionals.
"Have that conversation with a trans person in primary care and say, 'Let's talk about how we can get you to quit smoking.' Talk to them about their weight, about their diabetes, about their high blood pressure, their cholesterol – all those things are going to make the biggest difference in someone's cardiac risk when we get to the bottom line," Greene said.
"Real engagement with the health care system and engagement with good quality primary care that's affirming for trans people is the most important thing people can do."
Goldstein said more long-term research is needed to provide additional insights into the cardiovascular health of transgender men and women.
"Studies on the health of transgender people for the sake of their health has not been a funding priority for a long time," she said. "We're slowly starting to see that change."

I've heard it said that when you have faith there is no room for doubt. As popular as this is believed, I must say that it is terribly false. It is natural for believers to have times of doubt, and even worse, feel guilty for the doubt and then masking it as pretending to be full of "faith". This does nothing but make us frustrated. This teaching will greatly bring relief over the trials and struggles that doubt may bring into your Christian walk. It can be dealt with and it can be overcome.

Q: Handling huge ajax response with javascript I'm building a site that uses jQuery File Tree. Sometimes the AJAX response from the server is huge: 900 KB, 70000 'files' (I'm not really displaying files).
Of course displaying this puts a lot of strain on javascript (client side) and it happens that the browser freezes because of that.
What would be possible solutions for this? Can you "tell the browser" to expect a big load (as you do with max_execution_time and memory_limit in PHP).
The other idea was to break down the request to several smaller. There would be quite some coding needed to do this and I'm wondering: would this even work? Can browsers handle manipulating such a big number of DOM nodes?
Any other ideas about how to deal with this?

A: I think a better way to approach this solution is an "on-demand", or "lazy-load" solution. Only display the roots of the file tree, then grab data via AJAX when the user tries to expand any of the nodes to see its children.
This way you don't load all the data at once, but do it piecemeal instead.

Q: Save attachments from Mail.app based on subject I have been trying to write an Applescript to help me saving attachments, but realized quickly that I do not have the knowledge to do such a difficult script. Here is some background.
We receive daily sales reports, and flight manifests. The format in the subject should be: dd.mm.yyyy/"two letter airline code".DSR.Weight.
I.e. 30.01.2013/VS.DSR.1110KG
In the case of the manifest, in the same format, substitute DSR with MNFST.
I.e. 30.01.2013/VS.MNFST.1110KG.
There are however countless variations to the subject, and we are all human, and sometimes , is used, or more / etc. Our staff are great and work extremely hard, and the last thing they need me to do is be on their case about subject formats.
Therefore I was trying to get an Applescript to look at the two things that are always in the subject. The airlines two letter code, and the word DSR or MNFST/MFST/Manifest
We have the following two letter codes, sometimes in lower, or uppercase or a mix.
CV VS SAA TK DHV LH
Now the DSR can be in the subject in a number of ways, its not always seperated, ie. 30.01.2013/VSDSR1110KG
Same applies for MNFST/MFST/Manifest.
Ideally, I need a script to work in two parts:
DSR:

*

*Check the subject for the flight code and DSR

*Save the .xls attachment to /DSR/Airline two letter code

*If File is more recent (A correction might be sent later that day/early the next morning.), add 1, if another 2 etc.

I.e. 30.01.2013/VS.DSR.1110KG.xls: Macintosh HD/Users/(My username)/Dropbox/DSR/VS
I.e. 30.01.2013/CV.DSR.1110KG.xls: Macintosh HD/Users/(My username)/Dropbox/DSR/CV
Manifest (Sometimes a .xls/.pdf/.zip file. It varies.)

*

*Check the subject for the flight code and (Manifest or MNFST or MFST)

*Save the .xls/.pdf/.zip attachment to Manifests/Airline two letter airline code

*If the file is more recent (I.e. a file conflict with the same name. A correction might be sent later that day/early the next morning.), add 1, if another 2 etc.

I.e. For VS: Macintosh HD/Users/(My username)/Dropbox/Manifests/VS
From the 3 hours I spent attempting this and getting nowhere fast, I thought someone might find this an interesting challenge, and it would be greatly appreciated!
Meanwhile, I am going to be reading up on Applescript in my free time, very powerful tool and time saver!

A: First create a rule that looks for ANY  of the Manifest in all of the variations or DSR
Like So:

Then save this script (assuming you are using 10.8 Mountain Lion. )
In the folder ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail/
    using terms from application "Mail"
    on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule

        set codeList to {"CV", "VS", "SAA", "TK", "DHV", "LH"}
        set subFolder to ""
        set theDate to do shell script "date +%Y_%m_%d_%H%M%S"
        --set ruleName to name of theRule

        -- The folder to save the attachments in (must already exist)
        tell application "Finder" to set attachmentsFolder to ((path to home folder as text) & "Dropbox:DSR") as text

        tell application "Mail"

            repeat with eachMessage in theMessages
                set theSubject to subject of eachMessage
                repeat with i from 1 to number of items in codeList
                    set this_item to item i of codeList
                    if theSubject contains this_item then

                        set subFolder to this_item

                    end if
                end repeat
                if (count of (eachMessage's mail attachments)) > 0 then

                    try

                        tell application "Finder"

                            if not (exists folder subFolder of folder attachmentsFolder) then
                                make new folder at attachmentsFolder with properties {name:subFolder}
                            end if
                        end tell
                        -- Save the attachment
                        repeat with theAttachment in eachMessage's mail attachments

                            set originalName to name of theAttachment
                            set savePath to attachmentsFolder & ":" & subFolder & ":" & originalName

                            tell application "Finder"

                                if (exists file originalName of folder subFolder of folder attachmentsFolder) then
                                    set savePath to attachmentsFolder & ":" & subFolder & ":" & theDate & "_" & originalName
                                end if
                            end tell
                            try
                                save theAttachment in file (savePath)

                            end try
                        end repeat

                    end try

                end if

            end repeat

        end tell
    end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from

And point the Run Applescript at it.
If you are using an earlier Mac OS. Then you should be able to place the script where ever you want.
Thats it.
My tests all have worked. But it is late here and I should be in bed. So let me know if any issues and I will try and sort. :-)
The one thing to note is I have added a time stamp instead of a number for same named files. It is more reliable.

Q: Modify and re-write key from json file I'm currently having some problems with the JSON file in java.
The goal here is to modify every "timestamp_ms" present at the JSON file to UTC time and date
My code input the JSON file, read it and output it in JSON format like I want at the end.
Then I iterate through all the timestamp_ms and convert them.
I want now to replace all that timestamp_ms with the output I get and rewrite the file to JSON format again (now with the timestamp_ms converted).
I've roamed at SO answers but no success so far. Can anyone know a good way to achieve this?
Here's the code:
public class JsonMain {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        String first = "chatMessage.json";
        String jsonSource = new String((Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(first))),"UTF-8");
        //print the json file
        System.out.println(jsonSource);

        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(jsonSource);
        JSONArray arr = new JSONArray(obj.getJSONArray("messages"));

        //iterate trough all the timestamp_ms and get the value
        for(int i=0; i< arr.length(); i++)
        {
            long time = (long)arr.getJSONObject(i).get("timestamp_ms");
            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
            sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
            System.out.println(sdf.format(new Date(time)));
            //arr.put("timestamp_ms",sdf.format(new Date(time)));
        }

    }
}

Heres the json file chatMessage.json
{
  "participants": [
    {
      "name": "User1"
    },
    {
      "name": "User2"
    }
  ],
  "messages": [
    {
      "sender_name": "User1",
      "timestamp_ms": 1620663455808,
      "content": "Hello ç á à â ã ",
      "type": "Generic",
      "is_unsent": false
    },
    {
      "sender_name": "User2",
      "timestamp_ms": 1620663401347,
      "content": "Hi, how are you?",
      "type": "Generic",
      "is_unsent": false
    },
    {
      "sender_name": "User1",
      "timestamp_ms": 1620662999730,
      "content": "\u00c3\u0089 to utf?",
      "type": "Generic",
      "is_unsent": false
    }
  ],
  "title": "chatTitle",
  "is_still_participant": true,
  "thread_type": "RegularGroup",
  "thread_path": "inbox/chatTitle_4hyfdfnnhw"
}

A: You are close.
Just need to reference the JSON message object instead of the array, then rewrite the file.
You can do:
String first = "chatMessage.json";
String jsonSource = new String((Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(first))),"UTF-8");
//print the json file
System.out.println(jsonSource);

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(jsonSource);
JSONArray arr = new JSONArray(obj.getJSONArray("messages"));

//iterate trough all the timestamp_ms and get the value
for(int i=0; i< arr.length(); i++) {
    JSONObject currMessage = arr.getJSONObject(i);
    long time = (long) currMessage.get("timestamp_ms");
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
    sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
    System.out.println(sdf.format(new Date(time)));
    currMessage.put("timestamp_ms", sdf.format(new Date(time)));
}

Files.write(Paths.get(first), obj.toString(2).getBytes());

String output = new String((Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(first))),"UTF-8");
System.out.println(output);

Output:
{
    "is_still_participant": true,
    "thread_type": "RegularGroup",
    "messages": [{
        "is_unsent": false,
        "sender_name": "User1",
        "timestamp_ms": "10.5.2021, 16:17",
        "type": "Generic",
        "content": "Hello ç á à â ã "
    }, {
        "is_unsent": false,

A: I'd suggest to use token/event/stream-based solution. The following is just an illustration using tiny parser/generator lib https://github.com/anatolygudkov/green-jelly (both Gson and Jackson also provide stream-oriented API):
import org.green.jelly.AppendableWriter;
import org.green.jelly.CharArrayCharSequence;
import org.green.jelly.JsonEventPump;
import org.green.jelly.JsonNumber;
import org.green.jelly.JsonParser;

import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.Writer;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class TransformMyJson {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        try (FileReader input = new FileReader("/home/user/input.json");
                FileWriter output = new FileWriter("/home/user/output.json")) {

            final JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
            parser.setListener(new MyTransformer(output));

            final CharArrayCharSequence charSequence = new CharArrayCharSequence(4096);
            final char[] buffer = charSequence.getChars();

            int len;
            while ((len = input.read(buffer,0, buffer.length)) > -1) {
                charSequence.setLength(len);
                parser.parse(charSequence);
            }
            parser.eoj();
        }
    }

    static class MyTransformer extends JsonEventPump {
        private final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
        private boolean isTimestamp;

        MyTransformer(final Writer output) {
            super(new AppendableWriter<>(output));
            sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onObjectMember(final CharSequence name) {
            isTimestamp = "timestamp_ms".contentEquals(name);
            return super.onObjectMember(name);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onNumberValue(final JsonNumber number) {
            if (isTimestamp) {
                return super.onStringValue(sdf.format(new Date(number.mantissa())));
            }
            return super.onNumberValue(number);
        }
    }
}

Props of such type of solution:

*

*the file/data doesn't require to be loaded entirely into memory, you can process megs/gigs with no problems

*it works much faster, especially for large files, than any Object Mapping code

*you naturally have the same JSON structure as the result

*it's easy to implement any custom type/rule of transformation

2022 Acura MDX - Review by Larry Nutson
Twenty Years On
By Larry Nutson
Executive Editor and Bureau Chief
Chicago Bureau
THE AUTO CHANNEL
Acura was the first Japanese luxury brand in the U.S. arriving on our shores 35 years ago in 1986. The first vehicle models they sold were two-door and four-door sedans.
Times have changed. Car buyers needs and wants have changed. In 2000 the first-generation MDX utility vehicle was introduced. Now today, two decades later and after selling one million units the fourth-generation MDX has arrived.
The MDX is Acura's flagship. This three-row luxury utility vehicle rides on an all-new platform, and features a bold new exterior design coupled with a sophisticated and elegant new interior combined with a high-tech and advanced cockpit. LED headlights, LED daytime running lights and LED taillights punctuate the exterior.
The new MDX has the most rigid SUV chassis that Acura has ever had and it's the first to have double wishbone suspension in the front. The new MDX rides on a 2.8 inch longer wheelbase. Overall, it's longer, wider and a bit taller
Localized rigidity at all 4 corners is dramatically improved via cast aluminum damper housings in front and a new dual load path structure in the rear. The dash-to-axle ratio also increased by more than 4 inches, contributing to excellent design proportions. With a long hood and prominent cabin the MDX has a bold, athletic stance.
The new platform helps provide improvement to handling, NVH, and ride comfort, as well as advanced safety. The new double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension aid performance, ride quality, steering response and as well as cargo and passenger space.
Steering and brake systems as well as wheels and tires have all been upgraded and improved.
Under the hood sits a 290-HP 3.5-L 24-valve V6 engine mated for the first time with a new-to-MDX Sequential SportShift 10-speed automatic transmission. Shift paddles make manual control easy. The MDX is available with front wheel drive or with the latest generation of torque-vectoring Acura Super Handling All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD).
A new Integrated Dynamics System uses a rotary dial on the center of the dash to switch between Normal, Sport, Comfort, Snow and Individual settings. Each mode offers unique settings for engine and transmission performance including Idle Stop, transmission and throttle response and steering settings, as well as SH-AWD responsiveness.
MDX with front-wheel drive has EPA fuel economy ratings of 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined. MDX with SH-AWD has the same city rating and one mpg less at 25 mpg highway rating for a 21 mpg combined rating.
All 2022 MDX models come with a complete suite of AcuraWatch advanced driver-assist safety technologies (ADAS), including updated Road Departure Mitigation plus Traffic Jam Assist, a Driver Attention Monitor, Pedestrian sensing and Autonomous Emergency Braking (Pedestrian AEB), and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR). Also equipped is a front and rear automatic braking system, Low Speed Braking Control, that uses sonar-based parking sensors to sense solid objects at low speeds and warn the driver or apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision.
Inside the well-crafted cabin, sophisticated design, premium materials and soft touch surfaces abound in all seven seating positions. Acura's sport seats provide lots of comfort as well as good support for some performance driving. A customizable 12.3-inch HD display sits before the driver. A 12.3-inch center display with touchpad interface access the infotainment. An innovate removable middle seat in the second row adds versatility.
MDX is Acura's first model to have Amazon Alexa built in. By simply using the 'Alexa' wake word you are able to summon radio stations directly, input an address, or search for a nearby point of interest.
For moving more than just passengers the MDX front-wheel drive can tow 3,500 lbs. and 5,000 lbs. with AWD. There's 16.3 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the third row. That increases to 39.1 cu.ft. when folded and to 71.4 cu.ft. with the second row also folded.
The 2022 MDX is available in a base trim, with a Technology Package, in A-Spec trim, or with an Advance Package. Base and Technology trims are offered in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. A-Spec and Advance are AWD only.
MDX pricing starts at $46,900 for the base front-wheel drive model. Acura forecasts the MDX with Technology Package to be its most popular, priced at $51,600. AWD adds $2,000 to both of these models. A-Spec is priced at $57,100 and Advance at $60,650.
For my drive experience in the new MDX I drove the Advance model finished in Majestic Black Peral that added $500. Along with the $1,025 destination charge the bottom line totaled $62,175.
The 2022 Acura MDX is a candidate for the North American Utility of the Year, the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA) Luxury Family Vehicle of the Year as well as many other awards. More details and information on the different MDX models can be found at www.acura.com.
The new MDX is a very viable offering in the three-row premium utility segment. When compared to the likes of the 3-row Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, Cadillac XT6 or the Lexus RX-L, Genesis GV80 and BMW X5 which each offer a third-row option, the MDX is well positioned to meet or exceed the features and performance of many while also being well valued.
Acura is bringing back the Type S performance line and the first Acura SUV to ever wear the Type S badge will be the 2022 MDX Type S. The MDX Type S will be powered by a 355-horsepower Type S Turbo V6, and will also feature standard SH-AWD. More details about the MDX Type S will be available closer to its launch later this year.

A drunk man died after he embraced a giant firecracker called Goodbye Philippines as it was about to explode, health secretary Janet Garin told reporters. "His jaw was shattered. He was so intoxicated he hugged the Goodbye Philippines," Ms Garin said, adding the man was pronounced dead at the hospital. Eighty percent of the country's 100 million people are Catholic but Filipino superstition dictates making ear-shattering noises during New Year's Eve to ward off bad luck.

Philonise Floyd addressed Congress on Wednesday -- Screenshot via MSNBC
The younger brother of George Floyd, Philonise, addressed Congress on Wednesday advocating for police reform, a day after his family, who were joined by friends and sympathizers, laid him to rest in their hometown of Houston.
Floyd, 46, died on May 25 after Minneapolis cop, Derek Chauvin, was filmed with his knee on his neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds, despite the victim pleading he could not breathe. Floyd's death has sparked nationwide protests with people calling for an end to police brutality and racial discrimination in the United States.
"George's calls for help were ignored. Please listen to the call I'm making to you now, to the calls of our family, and to the calls ringing out in the streets across the world," Philonise told the House Judiciary Committee hearing on police brutality and racial profiling.

'Instead of bashing me, thank me' – Teen who filmed George Floyd's death hits out at critics
Read his full statement below:
Thank you for the invitation to be here today to talk about my big brother, George. The world knows him as George, but I called him Perry. Yesterday, we laid him to rest. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I'm the big brother now. So it was my job to comfort our brothers and sisters, Perry's kids, and everyone who loved him. And that's a lot of people. I have to be the strong one now, because it's what George would have done.
And me being the big brother now is why I'm here today. To do what Perry always did for us – to take care of the family and others. I couldn't take care of George the day he was killed, but maybe by speaking with you today, I can help make sure that his death isn't in vain. To make sure that he is more than another face on a t-shirt. More than another name on a list that won't stop growing.
George always made sacrifices for his family. And he made sacrifices for complete strangers. He gave the little that he had to help others. He was our gentle giant. I was reminded of that when I watched the video of his murder. He was mild mannered; he didn't fight back. He listened to the officers. He called them 'sir.' The men who took his life, who suffocated him for eight minutes and 46 seconds. He still called them 'sir' as he begged for his life.
I can't tell you the kind of pain you feel when you watch something like that. When you watch your big brother, who you've looked up to your whole life, die. Die begging for your mom.
I'm tired. I'm tired of the pain I'm feeling now and I'm tired of the pain I feel every time another black person is killed for no reason. I'm here today to ask you to make it stop. Stop the pain. Stop us from being tired.
George's calls for help were ignored. Please listen to the call I'm making to you now, to the calls of our family, and to the calls ringing out in the streets across the world. People of all backgrounds, genders and race have come together to demand change. Honor them, honor George, and make the necessary changes that make law enforcement the solution – and not the problem. Hold them accountable when they do something wrong. Teach them what it means to treat people with empathy and respect. Teach them what necessary force is. Teach them that deadly force should be used rarely and only when life is at risk.
George wasn't hurting anyone that day. He didn't deserve to die over twenty dollars. I am asking you, is that what a black man's life is worth? Twenty dollars? This is 2020. Enough is enough. The people marching in the streets are telling you enough is enough. Be the leaders that this country, this world, needs. Do the right thing.
The people elected you to speak for them, to make positive change. George's name means something. You have the opportunity here to make your names mean something, too.
If his death ends up changing the world for the better. And I think it will. I think it has. Then he died as he lived. It is on you to make sure his death isn't in vain.
I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to Perry while he was here. I was robbed of that. But, I know he's looking down on us now. Perry, look at what you did, big brother. You're changing the world. Thank you for everything. For taking care of us when you were on Earth, and for taking care of all of us now. I hope you found mama and can rest in peace and power.

Country Music Hall of Fame
No, Don't Put Dolly Parton in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Yet)
But Dolly Parton doesn't deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, at least not at the moment when there are so many other women and men waiting in the wings that are much more deserving, and could use the distinction to preserve a legacy that Dolly Parton already has secured for herself by many fold.

Hank Jr. Should be in Hall of Fame, Whether He Wants It Or Not
It doesn't matter if Hank Williams Jr. wants to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame or not. What matters is if he belongs there, which he does. One of the reasons why Hank Jr. likely doesn't care if the Hall of Fame honors him or not is because he's the most obvious snubbing in the institution's history, and he's rightfully cheesed off.

Marty Stuart Artist-In-Residence Comes as Hall of Fame Induction Looms

Country Hall of Fame Makes "Joke" By Snubbing Hank Jr. / Jerry Lee Lewis
Everyone has an opinion of who should be in the Hall of Fame. But few held the opinion it should be Ray Stevens. Sorry Hall of Fame. Love you, but this was a bad, bad pick. What a joke. Hank Williams Jr., Jerry Lee Lewis, Maddox Brothers and Rose, and a host of other performers were much more deserving.

Alan Jackson's Under-Reported Speech at The Country Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
The legendary and Hall of Fame country music career of Alan Jackson has been marked by two underlying things: his ability to write and sing songs that stay true to country's roots and ultimately become mega-hits (he had 26 #1's overall), and his propensity to step up at critical moments and say or do whatever he can to help preserve the music.
