World leaders are gathering in New York for the 68th session of the United Nations to discuss chemical weapons and Middle East peace.
Much attention will also be focused on the United States and Iran. Iran's new President Hassan Rouhani has expressed interest in reviving relations with the United States for the first time since the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
It is a move Israel warns against.
"[It is] the attempt of Iran, to cheat the world, to smile to the world by Rouhani, and meanwhile to develop a fissile material with centrifuges and to develop nuclear weapons," Yuval Stenitz, Israel's minister for Intelligence and Strategic Affairs, said.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is set to meet with six nations, including the United States. They will be looking for way to control the Iranian nuclear program.

"Ooohh, NO!" I sobbed as I looked into the mirror.
"I look like I have been hit by a car- I can not be seen in public!"
I looked at myself in the mirror again, as if looking one more time might uncover some kind of miracle. It was hopeless. My face was very puffy and I looked horrible.
That just reflected my past week.
Sleepless nights- awake for 68 out of 72 hours.
Big layoffs and account losses at my husband's job.
Son got in a car accident, finally got the car fixed, and the brakes that failed caushing the car accident in the first place failed on him again- miraculously sparing his life and further damage.
Many stresses and obstacles were being poured on me at such a rate that at times, I thought I would collapse under the assault of it all.
Add that to having over 15 deaths in my life over the last year of people who were special to me, and I was pretty well spent.
I had promised my children that I would take them to see the movie they saw advertised on television called FACING THE GIANTS on the opening day, so I knew that I had to go, but I was feeling so stressed that I was not sure I could make the long drive to get there.
To top off my day, as I got ready to leave the house, my son came upstairs and announced that we had a mouse in the basement. We have food stored down there- the food that I had been counting on to sustain us through what might be a very hard winter.
"Oh Dear GOD! HOW MUCH CAN ONE PERSON TAKE?"
I decided to leave the house and try to forget the rodent damage that could be there when I returned.
When I got into the theater, it had about 15 people in it, so I was glad for the space. I like to enjoy my movies- not be kicked in the chair by some uncontrolled child who really does not want to be there.
The first few minutes of the movie left me wondering what I would see, but what made me determined to see this movie was the fact that I enjoy Alex Kendrick thoroughly in his previous movie called FLYWHEEL. I trusted this movie more than if I had known nothing about it.
Once the movie got going, my jaw dropped to the floor. It was like someone read my mail and made a movie about it just to make me feel that I could keep going.
At many times during the movie, I cried- almost sobbed- as I could relate to the suffering and anguish the man in the story was facing.
Clearly the rest of the theater that had filled up quite a bit after the movie started felt similarly. The clapping, hollering, laughing and reactions were enthusiatic from all ages- including teens.
You know, I almost never go to the movies. I have hardly been in many years. With the debut of the movie END OF THE SPEAR, which I saw twice- the first time ever that I can remember doing that, I have found myself taking my children to the movies a lot more often to see some really good films.
FACING THE GIANTS is about a coach in a christian school(Alex Kendrick). He is trying to motivate a losing football team afflicted with apathy and loss of a *star player*.
His life is quickly spiraling down into darkness as his job is on the line, he is facing dark opposition in every direction he turns. Everything he tries to take solace in either breaks, gets ruined, or is beyond frustrating.
To top it all off, his wife (played by Shannen Fields) can not conceive and it is due to his difficulty.
It is enough to make most men crumble.
Eventually, the coach has an epiphany and things begin to turn around as he refuses to look at the failures and see the way through it to success.
The rest of the cast is unknown and is made up of the most unusual group of small town people who have given most of their time to bring encouragement to the rest of the world if they care to listen.
When I saw FLYWHEEL on television one day, I expected a rather boring movie. I suffered through the first few minutes of the movie rolling my eyes, but something compelled me on to see it.
By the middle of the movie, I was laughing, crying, staring, and clapping. It was a really good movie. What I saw in the credits at the end confused me.
It seemed that this movie was created by a small church in Georgia- but I must have read it wrong. Because I did not have the movie, I could not find out for sure.
I did not have to wait too long because the movie FACING THE GIANTS was coming out and I learned that indeed this small church in the South of the US had combined their time and devotion to make movies to encourage and uplift people in the theaters around the country and possibly the world.
I heard in one interview that the congregation of this church and townspeople all gave up their time and money to make this movie on $100,000 budget.
Kids were often running the cameras and people would come after work to keep this project going.
Well, I must tell you, this is one heck of a group. They really do make good productions, unlike some that I have seen in the past.
Here is what I found about this movie on the home website at www.facingthegiants.com
A Unique Vision
Michael Catt, the Senior Pastor of Sherwood Baptist Church, has a vision. He believes his church can "reach the world from Albany, Georgia." For that to happen, you need to be creative. Fortunately, the church's pastoral staff includes a pair of brothers with a lifelong dream to make movies.
The result? Sherwood Pictures, the church's decidedly unique filmmaking ministry.
Alex Kendrick and Stephen Kendrick, associate pastors at Sherwood, along with their brother Shannon, grew up in the Atlanta suburb of Smyrna. Their neighbor had a Super 8 film camera. "We played with that camera for two or three years until camcorders came out," Alex said. "We created our own entertainment."
Through trial and error, the brothers learned visual angles, editing, and eventually began making their own short movies. Later, as a communications major at Kennesaw State University, Alex talked some of his professors into letting him substitute videos for term papers. After college, Alex and Stephen still were making movies as they moved into ministry roles. Alex shot short films with college students; Stephen shot camp videos with his junior high youth group. Their productions premiered at their church on makeshift screens of paper tablecloths.
In 2002, Alex read an article citing a study by George Barna that said the most effective communication to this generation is movies. As the media minister at Sherwood, Alex proposed making a family-friendly movie that could be filmed affordably in Albany. "A huge segment of people love movies but leave theaters disappointed in the profanity, immorality, and messages that trample their family's values and faith," Stephen said. Pastor Catt agreed and the church created Sherwood Pictures.
Their first movie was FLYWHEEL, which was filmed on a $20,000 budget that came from private contributions. Using an all-volunteer cast of actors, the movie utilized local homes and businesses as sets. The wardrobe department amounted to each actor's own closet.
Yet FLYWHEEL took off. By then, Alex Kendrick had narrowed the potential plots for a second movie to what he felt was a can't-miss mix of high school football and faith. He and Stephen began to write FACING THE GIANTS back to front, a la Alex's writing style of starting with the final scene. To fold in a woman's perspective on impossible hurdles, the brothers included the issue of infertility.
All-Volunteer Movie Cast
Because so few of the cast members had time to be a volunteer movie lead, Alex Kendrick plays the role of Grant Taylor, Shiloh Academy's head football coach. Art imitated life when Shannen Fields, wife of the Sherwood Academy high school football coach, took the role of Grant's wife, Brooke. Although not wheelchair-bound in real life, Steve Williams plays his everyday role as a dad encouraging a son to trust God and risk something new as Larry Childers. The Kendrick brothers drew that character from their own father, Larry Kendrick, who has battled Multiple Sclerosis for more than 20 years.
High school senior Bailey Cave played place kicker David Childers. Like his character, Bailey was new to football. Jason McLeod, plays Brock Kelley who shines in the memorable "death crawl" drill scene, is now a junior at Georgia Southern University. Tracy Goode, as assistant coach Brady Owens, picked up coaching tips from the coach of a local high school football team. The movie's football teams are the local school squad, whose uniforms, stadium, practice fields, and spring schedule were essential movie backdrops.
Bobby Lee Duke and Mark Richt
The Giants' flamboyant coach Bobby Lee Duke is the creation of Jim McBride, executive pastor of Sherwood Baptist Church. Borrowing from colorful past careers that included being a carnival barker and a professional wrestler, Pastor McBride created the wild-eyed character and his memorable adages.
University of Georgia football coach Mark Richt is also bigger than life in Georgia. Yet he humbly volunteered to fly from Athens to Albany for his cameo appearance. The coach's huge popularity in Georgia and strong faith made him an ideal cast member. Coach Richt was willing to be part of the production because FLYWHEEL is one of his favorite movies.
The Big Shoot
The filming of FACING THE GIANTS lasted six weeks and was done in and around Albany with a two-week break midway through. Sherwood Pictures rented video and film equipment, including camera lenses, dollies, lights, sound equipment, and work trucks. They also purchased a computer to edit the film. The movie was shot with one high-definition Panasonic Vericam Camera and edited on a PowerMac G-5 computer using Final Cut Pro HD software.
The production used local media outlets to solicit extras for the large-crowd scenes. For the final game between the Eagles and the Giants, Lee County High School's principal, a fan of FLYWHEEL, offered their field and stands, which matched the script's vision. School leaders also generously offered uniforms, equipment, football players, and cheerleaders.
Background Music Pushes the Movie to the Front
Provident Films entered the frame when Sherwood approached Provident Music Group, a Nashville-based music label, for permission to use songs by Provident artists Third Day and Casting Crowns.
What began as a routine viewing for publishing approval led to Provident's president opening discussions with Sherwood to oversee the film's distribution. Provident Films, which is a joint venture between Provident and Sony, showed the film to Sony Pictures, who loved it. Through its relationship with Sony, Samuel Goldwyn Pictures agreed to distribute the film nationally, beginning September 29.
You know, I really like Alex Kendrick. He has a great talent for not only writing and directing, but acting in these movies. I did not find anything in the movie to be annoyingly amateur.
The story was engrossing and the movie progressed at a good pace- although it is not the computer generated manipulation that the gaming generation has grown to expect, but I found that the teens in the theater were enjoying themselves. Something that I was quite surprised at.
This movie is another winner, folks. I found myself brought up out of my dark pit this week. Suddenly my puffy face did not matter anymore, and things did not seem so bad.
Who will like this movie?
Well, I can tell you who will like it....
...anyone who is confined to a wheelchair
...anyone who knows what it is like to face failure at every turn that they make
....anyone who has endured betrayal at the hands of friends
....anyone who has known the agony of not being able to bear children
....anyone who enjoys family movies and it not offended by God
Who will NOT like this movie?
....someone who lives their life under the security blanket of cynicism and hates God
.....someone who refuses to see a movie with an open mind and put prejudice aside to look for the deeper message
.....someone who finds fault with everything they watch and listen to
All in all, I found this movie to be just what I needed. It supplied hope in a very dark time, and a small miracle happened in that theater.
I grew up with a sports nut in the family, and I HATE SPORTS. I can not stand the manipulation and commercialism of sports and usually those scenes bore me.
This movie had me cheering and laughing and clapping with the rest of the theater (which later filled up a lot more once the movie started).
I felt like I had been transported back to the time in my life when sports was just enjoyable without all of the baggage that it drags with it these days.
If this movie can make me not roll my eyes with disdain at the football scenes, then I know it has to be good!
if you want to find out which new theaters this is opening up at go to
One comment that I would like to make is that I am tired of the film industrys bad planning. Very often when I go to see a movie, there is a preview for an upcoming film that is very similar in background and/or plot line.
It happened with A BUG'S LIFE when they released ANTZ. It happened when there was a rash of movies coming out that all had to do with breaking in a stealing something big. It happens very often with movies where there is a thematic repetitiveness that makes them all seem boring.
It is the kind of feeling that I get from seeing the same color and style of clothing in every store that I go to nothing that gives a sense of uniqueness or individuality.
That is how I felt when I saw the trailer while seeing FACING THE GIANTS for yet another football movie coming out around Christmas time. The very fact that it was another football movie again was so annoying to me that it made me not want to go to see it.
I get very tired of the repetitive subject matter in movies over the last decade or so. Perhaps they are running out of ideas......
Perhaps no one else gets turned off by any of this kind of thing, but to me it just draws a yawn and makes me want to spend another 10 years hardly ever attending movies at the theater again.

Urgent Needs
Help us help them – be a Sponsor and save a life today! – See more at: http://www.petcaring.com/animal-rescue/vet-our-dogs-from-the-waco-shelter-/48156#sthash.QfW5tJwf.dpuf
Waco, TX has committed to the path of becoming a no-kill city. As the oldest no-kill rescue in town, Fuzzy Friends Rescue is instrumental in helping the city reach that goal. Every animal we pull from the city shelter potentially saves TWO lives – that animal, and the one that space opens up for.
Fuzzy Friends is committed to doing what we can to help these animals, who are some of the neediest in our community, but we can't do it alone. When we take in a stray animal from the public, we get a surrender fee which helps in part to provide the basic vettiing necessary to get that pet ready for adoption. The animals we rescue from the city shelter obviously do not come with a surrender fee, and rely solely on your donations to reach the point where they can be adopted. We are only able to pull animals from the shelter with the help of our Pet Intake Sponsors – a donation of just $45 will help us save another life!
We are still short of our January goal for Sponsorhip – these three dogs need basic sponsors, as well as additional donations toward medical care for Mia (broken pelvis) and Dianne (heartworms).
Heartworm Heartbreak
Ne-Ne Before Treatment
Ne-Ne, Recovering
Last winter, we were contacted by a Good Samaritan who needed our help. Her neighbors had been breeding chihuahuas in their backyard, but moved away leaving 12 dogs behind. She was able to take in one, and one puppy passed away suddenly, but 10 little angels were still in dire need. A Fuzzy Friends volunteer helped to arrange foster homes for all 10 dogs, and miraculously they were all heartworm negative – except for Ne-Ne. To make matters worse, when it came time for Ne-Ne's heartworm treatment, it was discovered that her liver values were too elevated to go through the difficult injection series. The waiting game began, trying to get her healthy enough for the treatment she needed to save her life. Finally, after almost 5 months, Ne-Ne was able to begin her injections, but it will be at least two more months of treatment and cage rest before she is cleared for adoption. So much expense and uncertainty, which could have all been prevented with $5 a month of heartworm prevention.
Buster was surrendered to the city shelter because he needed a home without kids. Unfortunately, his previous owners had not been able to take care of vetting him. When he came to Fuzzy Friends, we took care of all that but discovered he was also heartworm positive. Buster will undergo treatment and soon be up for adoption!
Miss Darla is a cuddly lap dog! Unfortunately, her last family was apparently not able to care for her. She was found running the streets as a stray, and surrendered to Fuzzy Friends. She and Buster came to us within days of each other, and it was a sad coincidence that both of these beautiful Cocker Spaniels turned out to be heartworm positive. Darla will also go through heartworm treatment before being placed for adoption.
Even uncomplicated heartworm treatment runs hundreds of dollars per dog. Your donations allow us to continue to help the dogs who come to us with heartworms, giving them the chance to heal and live a happy life. To give online, please click here.

Good Points
downloadable games
colour screen
reasonable price
good size
a range of cool things on messages eg. underlined, pictures, sounds
Bad Points
cannot find covers in shops
General Comments
You can download good games and different levels for your Sagem MYG-5. With its good colour screen and downloadable backrounds it adds a bit of colour. Its pocket size makes it good to carry around.in many shops it is at a very reaspnable price for what you are getting. but the down side is i have looked and looked but i cannot find any interchangeable covers in shops.

Let's start anew, you and I;
We can build sandcastle fortresses to rule,
And paper ships to sail in.
Let's pretend we're king and queen of the sky,
We can live like we're going to die tomorrow,
And watch the clouds roll by.
Let's run fast, and dance in the rain,
We can roll in the grass,
And teach paper cranes to fly
Let's be young forever; you and I.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University released a study today concluding that the shutdown of MegaUpload last year caused digital movie revenues to increase.
The academic study, Gone in 60 Seconds: The Impact of the Megaupload Shutdown on Movie Sales, was authored by Brett Danaher and Michael D. Smith, working at the University's Initiative for Digital Entertainment Analytics. The abstract states:
The growth of Internet-based piracy has led to a wide-ranging debate over how copyright policy should be enforced in the digital era. While some enforcement approaches involve policies designed to deter consumers from filesharing though incentives or penalties, other approaches target the supply of piracy by shutting down Internet sites that serve as major conduits for pirated content. In this paper we analyze how one such anti-piracy intervention, the shutdown of the popular Megaupload site, affected the digital sales of movies for two major studios.
Simply examining changes in sales after the shutdown would produce an inaccurate measure of its actual effect as sales are changing over time for a variety of reasons. Instead we exploit cross-country variation in pre-shutdown usage of Megaupload as a measure of treatment intensity. Controlling for country-specific trends and the Christmas holiday, we find no statistical relationship between Megaupload penetration and changes in digital sales prior to the shutdown. However, we find a statistically significant positive relationship between a country's Megaupload penetration and its sales change after the shutdown, such that for each additional 1% pre-shutdown Megaupload penetration, the post-shutdown sales unit change was 2.5% to 3.8% higher, suggesting that these increases are a causal effect of the shutdown.
Aggregating these increases, our analysis across 12 countries suggests that, in the 18 weeks following the shutdown, digital revenues for these two studio's movies were 6-10% higher than they would have been if not for the shutdown. Thus our findings show that the closing of a major online piracy site can increase digital media sales, and by extension we provide evidence that Internet movie piracy displaces digital film sales.
As the study notes, the majority of academic literature has established that piracy has a negative impact on music and movie sales, but only recently have researchers begun to look at whether efforts to reduce piracy result in an increase in sales. A peer-reviewed study soon to be published in the Journal of Industrial Economics (a pre-press version is available online) found that France's graduated response law (HADOPI) caused a 20-25% increase in music sales in France. An earlier paper, Piracy, Music, and Movies: A Natural Experiment, found that the enactment of stricter anti-piracy measures in Sweden resulted in a 48% increase in digital music sales and a 27% increase in CD sales.

Chodang Tofu and BBQ in Chandler: A Korean Love Story

The Prathers have produced more than 700 critically acclaimed productions over three decades in Pennsylvania and Florida, including classics like My Fair Lady and Fiddler on the Roof, plus contemporary masterpieces such as Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita. They promise Broadway Palm won't be a typical Valley dinner club, where the show is often performed in a back room of a restaurant, and food is secondary to the entertainment.
Instead, their full-length musicals feature professional performers, a live orchestra, lavish costumes and elaborate props and sets. A "sumptuous" buffet features salads, five hot entrees with beef, chicken, pork, fish and pasta, a variety of vegetables and rice and potato dishes, plus a dozen desserts including pies, cakes, brownies, cobblers and more.
As someone who's choked down more than her share of rubber chicken and shoe-leather steak at these things around town, it seems like a little Broadway could go a long way toward helping out our supper club scene. Ticket prices range from $33 to $39. Information: 480-325-6700.
Belly Up to the Barmouche: Mark Tarbell's Barmouche restaurant is again serving lunch. The restaurant, at 32nd Street and Camelback, offers bistro-style English and French food with some American comfort dishes thrown in. Lunch service had been suspended for a few years, but Tarbell says he's confident the area is now ready for items like his favorite hamburger, French dip and BLT. Quick service is key, he adds, which is a good thing, considering lunch is only available from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Cha-ching: Dine for America efforts in Arizona raised a mouth-watering $400,000 on October 11 to aid the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Close to 200 local restaurants contributed either a portion or all of their sales, also collecting additional donations from customers and employees. Participants ranged from independent operators like Cucina Tagliani in Glendale to chain restaurants including Romano's Macaroni Grill and Red Lobster. Way to go, guys.

What's On Your Plate?
Our worship series for the season of Lent will focus on fasting, not only from food, but from other things that get in
the way of a deeper relationship with God. St. John Chrysostom, a 4th century preacher, writes
Do you fast? Give me proof of it by your works.
If you see a poor man, take pity on him.
If you see a friend being honored, do not envy him.
Do not let only your mouth fast, but also the eye, and the feet, and the hands, and all members of our bodies.
Let the hands fast, by being free of avarice.
Let the feet fast, by ceasing to run after sin.
Let the eyes fast, by disciplining them not to glare at that which is sinful.
Let the ear fast by not listening to evil talk and gossip.
Let the mouth fast from foul words and unjust criticism.
For what good is it if we abstain from birds and fishes, but bite and devour our brothers?
(from Homily III:8 "On the Statutes")
Each week we will explore new ways to set aside things that take up space time and space in our lives so that we can make room to be filled with God's grace and mercy.

R. Doyle Stulting, MD, PhD
Referral Ophthalmologist
As an experienced surgeon and medical monitor, Dr. Stulting is overseeing a clinical trial using a new intraocular telescope for patients with cataract and severe central vision loss from macular degeneration. He is one of the most frequently cited investigators in the field, authoring more than 200 publications and countless other articles based on his extensive clinical research in corneal transplantation, laser treatment of refractive errors, LASIK, the management of dry eye, and cataract surgery. He is a revered authority for patients with complex issues that generate difficult questions about refractive surgery outcomes and is a sought-after speaker on both refractive surgery and cornea topics.
Dr. Stulting conducts basic and clinical research in corneal disease, corneal transplantation, and refractive surgery. He participated in the first physician-sponsored clinical investigation of LASIK, prior to the refractive laser's approval in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). He is a leader in the investigation of new laser technologies for the treatment of damaged corneas and Principle Investigator for a clinical trial of a new technology that is likely to revolutionize the management of keratoconus—a disease that, today, accounts for 20% of the corneal transplants performed in the United States. He has also organized a key multi-center clinical trial to evaluate the effect of tissue typing on corneal transplantation.
Prior to joining Woolfson Eye Institute, Dr. Stulting was the medical director of Emory Vision – Emory University's refractive surgery center. He has trained more than 60 fellows in his sub-specialty and countless residents, many of whom have gone on to distinguish themselves in the profession.
Dr. Stulting served as Editor-in-Chief of Cornea: The Journal of Cornea and External Disease, and is the Immediate Past President of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Eye Bank Association of America, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Georgia Eye Bank. Dr. Stulting has received the FDA's citation for Excellence, Commitment and Outstanding Service in Protecting the Public Health, the prestigious Paton Award from the Eyebank Association of America, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology's Lifetime Achievement Award. He also delivered the Leopold Lecture at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia and the Paton Lecture at Baylor University in Houston.
Dr. Stulting graduated from Duke University with BS, MD, and PhD degrees. He was an intern and resident in internal medicine at Washington University, a resident in ophthalmology at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, and a Fellow in Cornea and External Disease at Emory University – recently retiring from Emory University as Hughes Professor of Ophthalmology and Director, Section of Cornea, External Disease and Refractive Surgery.
As a licensed private pilot (for 36 years), he enjoys flying his Bonanza A-36. He also enjoys dancing, hiking, mountain biking, and loves the out-of-doors.

Are Banks Really Making Short Term Loans to Other Banks for Zero Interest?
Question/Comment: When people speak of the Fed funds rate being zero, does that mean that banks are literally making short-term loans to other banks for NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER? Why would any bank do that, since there is some risk of non-repayment on any loan?
Paul Solman: Yes, the fed funds rate is the interest rate banks pay one another for overnight deposits to square their books, keeping up their legally required deposits with the Fed (roughly, 10 percent of their assets).
But right now, given that banks aren't lending, my guess is that they have more than the required reserves on deposit with the Fed. Indeed, that's what they've been doing with all the money the Fed has been pumping into them – re-depositing it at the Fed.
My further guess, then, is that banks don't really need to lend much to each other these days. But if they DID, the reason they would consent to do so at zero interest is that if inflation is running even lower than that, they're making money. In other words, say you, Carl, lend me $1 million dollars overnight. (This is okay, right? You know where to find me.) I pay you back tomorrow. But if there's DEFLATION, that $1 million is actually worth MORE tomorrow than today. So why WOULDN'T you lend?

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
We loved this tour. We learned a lot about Harlem and loved worshiping at the Kelly Temple. The congregation was warm and welcoming and the service was lively and uplifting. We would highly recommend this tour!
Great tour really shows a side of New York that most tourists would not think about.
Fabulous tour! The guide was really well informed and the congregation at the gospel church were genuine in their warm welcome. A great experience!
This tour was excellent. We pre booked before leaving Sydney. The tour guide Ronnie was engaging very knowledgeable and entertained us throughout the tour. On the return trip the bus dropped people off wherever they wanted which was very nice.the tour of Harlem was informative and very interesting. The church we visited was in the Bronx I noticed the queues for Harlem churches which we drove past were very long.
Our church service was at the Green Pastures Baptist Church. We were made very welcome there were two coach tours which supplemented the congregation and added to the atmosphere. The singing was fantastic and the the congregation had both tour groups up on their feet joining in the singing very enthusiastically. There were two collections one for the local poor and one for repairs to the church caused by hurricane Sandy. The damage was quite evident. I would recommend this tour.

Unforgettable experience! The guide was very helpful and we learned a lot about Harlem. The ceremony was very moving and the people very friendly. A must in NY city.
Loved it. What an experience!
interessante Tour - ein Gospelgottesdienst ist etwas Spezielles. Allerdings hatte ich den Eindruck der Kirchengemeinde ging es nur um das Geld welches sie bekamen - die Gäste stören nur. Wir hatten sehr rüde Einweiser auf der Besuchertribüne - das hat den Genuss doch gemindert.
Die Tourorganisation war sehr gut und der Guide ebenfalls. Viele Informationen auch über das restliche Harlem.
Harlem Sunday- Morning Gospel tour was fantastic , it was very moving for me. Highly recommend.
Todo bien,lo único llegamos tarde y nos toco el tour en Ingles,pero bien.
a really good tour guide who shared some really interesting facts about the city and also Harlem which was fascinating and a must for anyone with an interest in Jazz or Music as so many iconic greats have come from this culturally rich Neighbourhood. The tour was then topped off with a very humbling experience listening to Worship and experiencing the faith of the Gospel which was truly moving to see and hear.
Would definitely recommend this tour and perhaps also suggest the brunch at Sylvias place as we missed this to our regret but will be back.....
Loved it! What an experience! Everyone who visits New York has to book this tour!
Our tour was great Robert ( wonderful guide) started from the moment the bus left with stories and sights to see as we made our way to harlem. We stopped to see early timber cottages and Morris-Jumel Mansion and then visited a very welcoming gospel church. We choose the brunch option which was a great choice - we had a lovely lunch at the Cotton Club.
The tour was fabulous! Tour guide Ricky was amazing. The information that he shared with us about Harlem and New York was very detailed.
This trip was my favourite day on the holiday. The tour guide Alvin was excellent - good fun and excellent knowledge on Harlem and the Bronx. The gospel choir and church we visited was superb. Everyone was so welcoming and the singing was amazing.
We had a great guide -on time - liked getting out of bus and walking around a bit.
Church choir all we thought it would be loud, boistrous and great singing and enthusiasm - and brunch at the Cotton Club a bonus.

Jay-Z Hits the World Series, Gets Dissed by Beanie Sigel
By Ryan Dombal on October 30, 2009 at 11:50 a.m. EDT
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys brought their Big Apple ode "Empire State of Mind" to Yankee Stadium's center field last night before game two of the World Series. The Yankees won the game, beating the Philadelphia Phillies. This is not a coincidence. Watch the performance below (via Kanye's Blog).
In weirdly related news, onetime Friend of Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella mainstay Beanie Sigel-- who happens to be from Philadelphia-- just unleashed a diss record aimed at his old boss called "What You Talkin Bout (I Ain't Ya Average Cat)".
On the seven-minute track, Beans doesn't talk baseball, but he does talk about how Jay allegedly "snitched" on him and basically won't return his calls. Unlike most Jay-Z disses, though, this one isn't just petty and attention-grabbing. Beanie is clearly torn up by the falling out, as shown by a long, ranting outro during which he seems to be near tears.
"The richest man ain't the one with his first dollar, dog-- it's the one that still got his first friend," he says. Kinda heartbreaking. Listen to that below, too:
