Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times best seller Gillian Flynn, takes that statement to its darkest place in this unpausable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work "draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction." Gone Girl's toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge.
Under mounting pressure from the police and the media - as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents - the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter - but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.
©2012 Gillian Flynn (P)2012 Random House Audio
"Flynn masterfully lets this tale of a marriage gone toxically wrong gradually emerge through alternating accounts by Nick and Amy, both unreliable narrators in their own ways. The reader comes to discover their layers of deceit through a process similar to that at work in the imploding relationship. Compulsively readable, creepily unforgettable, this is a must read for any fan of bad girls and good writing." (Publishers Weekly)
"Hard to say something about it without spoilers"
The book makes you love and hate the characters through the story, make you anxious about the next chapter, the next twist. It's a great story for sure and very well wrote. It's dark, intriguing and has a great narration. But trying to not spoil much, I just want say that the ending was disappointing, a total anticlimax.
"Wow this was crazy but crazy in a good way"
I loved that there were different people narrating the book. That really helped move the story along. I will say, because there were absolutely no "down" moments in this book it was hard for me to not listen to it all at once, which I of course couldn't do.
Even though some of the things were predictable it was really interesting to see how things worked themselves out. It was exciting and was written in a fresh, original way.
I can't say what my favorite part was without ruining the book for everyone but the title of the book that Nick writes sums it up. That was what I was thinking the whole time and I literally laughe out loud.
I think that this should be made into a movie, which may be difficult, but I would keep the title Gone Girl and the tag like would be How well do you know your neighbors? Ryan Gosling must play Nick.
I am truly a Gillian Flynn fan now. Keep it up girl!
"Slow at first"
Started out slow. I didn't like either character. Then the story started building...moving, it was almost like a roller coaster ride. It was great until the end. When my Ipod clock registered 30 minutes until the end, I couldn't believe it. This can't be the end. Five minutes left, I can't believe it's ending like this. Slow beginning. LOVED the middle. Hated the end. Excellently written. I will read more Gillian Flynn. She's Good!!!
"Excellent Entertainment"
All the characters were well done. The "He Said, She Said" style was perfect.
Not sure -- maybe liking this book so much had to do with being able to listen to it while getting other things done. I didn't haved to continually put it down. It really flows well.
Both Nick and Amy had lovely, insightful, poignant moments - and then there would be a twist. Some might not like that but I loved it.
This is a keeper. I've already given away 2 copies as gifts.
"Better in the Second Half"
If you can get through the first part (which I found a little draggy), the last parts make up for the slow moving "he said, she said" narration in the beginning. Although the twists were kind of predictable, I really enjoyed the story anyway. The characters were well drawn and interesting, albeit not particularly likeable. The dual narrators were quite good. At one point, I actually brought this one inside after turning off the car and listened to it in the house. For me, this is the biggest reason to provide a high overall entertainment rating.
Kindled Reader
"Do you love Twists and Turns?"
If so, you will love Gone Girl. This book is well worth the 18 hours of listening time.
I started listening to this book and had to tell all the book lovers I know that I had found the next great read. Here was a book that told an interesting story through two completely different points of view. I told people that it was a fascinating study in marriage and the reasons that it is so hard to maintain a relationship between two intelligent people. In many ways, it is a scathing comedy of manners about modern relationships. It is also skewers our modern preoccupation with true crime and shows like "Nancy Grace".
Then as the twists kept turning, I realized this really is a mystery afterall with just enough clues to make me belieive that everyone could be guilty. Now I was listening to find out if any of my theories were plausible. I kept thinking that if it twisted that much from my first impressions, then another big twist was going to come.
More twists do come and few of my theories were right. The only reason I didn't give the story 5 stars is that the ending, though horrible enough to give you nightmares, didn't satisfy me the way the rest of the book did.
The two readers do an excellent job, especially Julia Whalen. I am not sure I would have enjoyed the book as much without their interpretation of the characters.
I'm am avid reader who has found I can fit in more books by listening when I drive. I'm a busy mom/grandma who likes to travel and reading is my relaxation so I choose books that keep my interest.
"Intriguing and captivating"
The narrators of this story caught my attention from the start. They present the characters so well that you're drawn into the story. It feels believable, like real life. And then it veers into very odd territory that keeps you listening just to figure out where it's going. The narration gives you a rare glimpse into the thoughts of a really twisted person and the people that allow (or are forced to allow?) the dysfunction to continue. It is intense and it is graphic and very, very good!
"Believable, different story"
I really enjoyed this story - I listen to a lot of mysteries, and this one was different, had more interesting characters, and kept me involved until the end. It had the ring of truth without being too heavy. I recommend it.
"A Twist On A Twist On A Twist"
Didn't read the print version.
Amy, she is complex. You may at one point think she's a bitch, and then she kicks her crazy up a notch, then you may think psycho bitch, and then she kicks it up another notch and you think pity the poor sob who crosses her. And not to be outdone she kicks it one more notch and you think, man I wouldn't even want to be on the same continent with this woman.
When she starts to believe how smart she is compared to us mere mortals and is robbed by a couple. No street smarts, and you should never buy your own b.s.
Yes, but I stretched it out.
Twisted but good and it sure kept my interest.
"Gillian Flynn doesn't disappoint"
I have been waiting anxiously for quite some time for Flynn to have a new audio book after having so been entertained by Sharp Objects and Dark Places. Gone Girl was great! The twists are there, you think you know where it's going and you may be partially right, but then there is a turn you don't anticipate. I just loved the book and the narration was flawless.

Those Russians Know How To Party
by Paul on 01/06/11 at 12:08 PM ET
Comments (1)
from Robert J. McCarthy of the Buffalo News,
Oh, what a party it must have been for the Russian hockey team after their big win over Canada on Wednesday.
But it apparently caught up with the World Junior Hockey champions. They were kicked off a flight from Buffalo Niagara International Airport early this morning after sources said disruptive behavior after a night of celebration posed a safety threat.
"The crew of a flight from Buffalo to Atlanta denied boarding to 30 passengers as a result of unruly behavior," said Delta spokeswoman Susan Elliott. "This was an effort to ensure safe operation of the flight. They will be rebooked on a future flight."

This is probably not the best way to celebrate, but it is way better than celebrating your victory at the end of the second period.

AMGA: Physician Practices Falter on Thinning Margins
Physician groups across the country operated at a significant loss in 2010, thanks largely to dwindling Medicare reimbursements. At the same time physician compensation increased by an average of 2.4%, according to the American Medical Group Association's 2011 Medical Group Compensation and Financial Survey.
"The trends are pretty much continuing and have been consistent over the last six years of so. The operating margins are getting smaller and the pay increases are getting smaller as well," Tom Flatt, director of communications and publications at AMGA, told HealthLeaders Media.
The survey of 239 medical groups -- 55% of which had more than 100 physicians -- found that operating margins are getting thinner. In 2010, only physician groups in the Western region of the nation were nearing break-even (-$27 per physician).
All other regions were operating at a loss: the Eastern region averaged a loss of $1,597 per physician; the Southern region averaged a loss of $1,870; and the Northern region continued to experience significant losses (-$10,669 per physician in 2010, compared to -9,943 per physician in 2009).
Flatt says that many of the physician groups were able to offset Medicare reimbursement cuts through ancillary services like pharmacy and imaging. But concerns about cuts to reimbursements remain.
"We are hearing from our own groups who are anticipating significant cuts in Medicare that they are really worried about it. They are operating at such a small margin now that this will have a tremendous impact on access for patients," Flatt says. "They're really feeling like they are on the edge of a cliff and without some sort of revenue, it's really going to impact patient care."

Boarding planes: A theater of the absurd version of me-first Americans
Send this to a friend
- Karen Friedman, Contributor
I fly a lot. On US Airways, that means I'm considered preferred which doesn't get me much other than being called to board the plane before most passengers. However, there are many who have more status than me so they can board before me. There are chairman's preferred and platinum preferred who are clearly preferred over me. Airline marshals and members of the military rightfully board early. So do the people who work on the plane.
Then there are people with legitimate disabilities and those who need assistance. They board before me too as they should. But there is an entirely new group of people who have started to board early. These are the people who claim to need assistance. Recently, I have observed more and more people standing in this line. Sometimes the line is 15 to 20 people deep. Only by my observation, most are walking and in some cases, running to get in line. No canes. No wheelchairs. No aides or helpers. No visible signs of needing assistance.
My guess is they want to get on the plane early before the overhead bins fill up and they're forced to check baggage. I couldn't help but wonder how all these people are able to move to the front of the line.
So I asked the gate attendant. She said all you have to do is ask for a pass. But don't you have to be visibly impaired, I wondered. No, she said. What about proof like a doctor's note, I asked. No to that too, she answered. And, you don't even have to provide your email or sign up for a credit card or something? No again.
So I asked if I could have one of those passes so I can move closer to the front of the line where I'm supposed to be anyway.

Famous Texas Steakhouse Settles Labor Dispute
AMARILLO, TX (AP) — The Big Texan Steak Ranch has paid $800,000 to settle a Labor Department dispute alleging the restaurant took too much of a bite out of tips to workers.
The department on Monday announced the agreement with the Amarillo restaurant, famous for its 72-ounce steak dinner that's free if eaten in an hour.
(See video of Molly Schuyler, competitive eating champion, at the Big Texan Steak Ranch)
A 2011 federal audit and investigation found minimum-wage and record-keeping violations involving pooling of tips and use of some tips for business costs.
Co-owner Bobby Lee says the restaurant settled the case last September and paid $650,000 in back wages and $150,000 in damages to current and former staff.
Lee and his brother Danny Lee, in a statement, say the Big Texan Steak Ranch has made compliance changes, did not underpay anyone and the mistake was administrative.

Hazardous Chemical Inventories Often Kept from Public
Following the reported Charleston spill, county and state agencies have stated they lacked emergency preparedness for such an incident.
But a May 2013 Reuters/ Chicago Tribune report indicated that reports are considered "tip sheets" for potential terrorists. Ten states would not disclosed inventories at the time of the article, causing Reuters to conclude compliance with the federal law to be "spotty." Forty states had not responded after 45 days.
"The U.S. hazardous-chemical reporting program, known as Tier II, is meant to alert residents to dangers in their communities and to inform planning that could prevent fatalities and injuries. The program grew out of the Emergency Planning and Community Right To Know Act, enacted in 1986, following leaks of dangerous chemicals in India and West Virginia," the article stated.
Mark Howard, director of the Arizona Emergency Management Commission, said releasing the data would compound the difficult problem of securing chemical sites.
"Stuff goes missing all the time," Howard said. "I honestly believe this has the potential to create more harm than the public knowing."
State government officials have access to the statewide inventory, he said, and are better suited to make decisions about chemical threats. "At some point, you have to hope the government is doing the right thing," he said.

Sarasota Police Department warns scooter owners
Date: April 1, 2013
by: Alex Mahadevan | News Editor
The Sarasota Police Department warned North Trail residents with scooters or mopeds to secure their motorbikes after a series of thefts in the neighborhoods east of the North Trail, according to an April 1 news release.
Suspects break locks on scooters and wheel them away in the early morning hours, which owners can prevent by adding brake locks, alarms or keeping a motorbike in a garage or carport.
"The more layers of theft protection on the scooter, the less likely the scooter will be stolen," said the release.

South Delhi gangrape case: Sonia meets victim Last Updated : 18 Dec 2012 11:40:08 PM IST File photo of Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday meet the 23-year-old girl at Safdarjung hospital who was gang-raped in South Delhi on Sunday night.
Sonia asked the government to take the strictest possible measures to ensure that there is no recurrence of incidents like the barbaric gangrape of a 23-year-old girl in the capital that has shaken the country.
Gandhi has talked to Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit and National Commission for Women Chairperson Mamta Sharma and told them to ensure that all possible measures should be taken so that such incidents do not occur again.
On the gangrape case, Gandhi, who is also UPA Chairperson, wanted the guilty to be brought to book at the earliest, Congress General Secretary Janardhan Dwivedi said.
Earlier in the day, both Houses of Parliament expressed shock and outrage over the heinous gangrape of the girl in a moving bus in south Delhi. Members, cutting across party lines, made strong demands for capital punishment to perpetrators of such crimes.
Sonia asks govt to take strictest action to prevent crimes like gangrape:
Opposition members demanded a categorical assurance from the Home Minister that such an incident will not recur.
Women members in both Houses were in the forefront in expressing shock and anguish over the incident, voicing concern over the safety of the fair sex in Delhi. Cinestar- turned-MP Jaya Bachchan even broke down while speaking on the issue in the Upper House.
In Lok Sabha, Speaker Meira Kumar led the House in expressing outrage over the "spine-chilling" incident, saying it was shameful for the entire society.

Is Anne Hathaway A Bridezilla?!Back in November, Anne Hathaway announced her engagement to long-time boyfriend, Adam Shulman! We were thrilled for her, it seems like she finally found a nice guy. However, for some reason Anne and Adam are putting off their wedding until October 2013. From the time of her engagement, that's 2 years! Why are they waiting so long? Apparently Anne has become a "bridezilla" which is now causing friction between her and Adam's family. One source reveals, "she and Adam are fighting over the size of the wedding. Anne wants it to be small and intimate, while Adam's family has a potential guest list of over 200 people." As a star, "Anne is used to getting whatever she wants so having to compromise with Adam's family has not been easy. It's caused a lot of tension in their relationship." We really hope they can work out these problems, they seem perfect for each other! (celebitchy)

Mayor wants 'trial run' of hotel/restaurant tax next month

GAUTIER — At the end of the this week's Gautier City Council meeting, Mayor Tommy Fortenberry made a motion to use the June 4 ballot as a "trial run" for the 2 percent tax-levy issue.
Fortenberry said he was concerned at the low turnout of the primary election and wants to make sure residents are fully educated on the issue.
He said this poll vote will allow city officials to see how the community feels about the tax. If it has support, it will be reintroduced for final vote on the August ballot.
The levy would be a 2 percent tax on hotel stays, prepared food and adult beverages.
The additional money would fund improvements in Gautier's recreation department.
The Sun Herald reports the council unanimously approved the motion.

State lawmakers are sick of having their food coughed on.
A bill that would allow workers to call in sick without worrying about being fired or losing a day's wages is waiting to be passed in New York, Washington, Massachusetts and Vermont, according to a Bloomberg article.
Forty-four million Americans don't have paid sick leave. Michael Cockrell, a cook and dishwasher in Philadelphia, is one of them.
Cockrell went to work when he was sick with the flu and when his son, who is 5, was hospitalized for an asthma attack.
"If I wasn't fearful of being terminated, I wouldn't have gone to work either of those times," Cockrell told Bloomberg. "You can cover your mouth, but those germs are microscopic. You don't know where they're going and what food they're landing on."
Supporters for the bill say the Family and Medical Leave Act doesn't cover all that it needs to.
Although the 20-year-old act allows as much as 12 weeks of job-protected leave, it doesn't cover 40 percent of workers. Only those who work more than 25 hours a week for businesses with 50 employees or more are covered.

I decided I'm going to start rambling in my blog thingy a bit like the old days. (I deleted my old posts a while ago.)
At least bring up an odd factoid about myself and expand upon it a little. Not sure whether I'll delete this some day or whether I'll ever do another blog post, but for now I feel like writing; so I shall write!
I usually post on forums on my spare time because I think it's fun to share my thoughts, learn about all sorts of people and share info about myself. I've met many cool people during my travels online and hope to encounter more. I've noticed in recent years that there are two things people tend to notice about me, one I get positive feedback on, the other... errr, not so much. People notice I am a fan of a large variety of music, this is true and I might devote upcoming blog posts to my music fandom. But I would like to talk about the negative.
I've been on the internet a long while, since early 2003. A lot has occured to me since then, notably a unique preference for how I look. I gained weight during a depression when I was 19, after a couple of years, I come out of it ok, from around 110lbs to about 160lbs if memory serves. I go online and return to a forum I long frequented, posted an image of myself and quite a few people freaked out telling me that I "let myself go." I got similar reactions from friends and family, though not quite as forthcoming due to sensitivity. I did not really feel like there was anything wrong with me, I did not understand the fuss.
So, I spent a while losing weight, getting fit... lost around 25lbs and was not happy with my appearance. I was terribly confused for a long time before it really dawned on me that I preferred myself at 160lbs. I did not like I looked at all, but it made no sense to me... it was around this time that wall finally fell in my head which prevented me from realizing that beauty is subjective. It is not whatever the media defines it as; that is simply their opinion. While my point of view is in a dwindling minority, it uplifted me to realize such a thing about myself. I have ever since embraced looking however I wish rather than assimilating into whatever flavor of the month Glamour was advertising. I had my own definition of what looked good, how to make myself feel good, a look that I could truly say was my own! So, I never thought twice after that, I just decided I would eat what I like, when I like, make sure things don't get too out of hand, and basically... intentionally gain weight.
At the cost of people around me not quite understanding what I mean, I do explain to them and for the most part I am understood. However, occasionally I say something online like "I tend to eat what I feel like, it doesn't bother me if I gain weight" or "I'm fat, but I don't try to lose weight, I like how I look" and I'll get a few messages from people who seem like they want to strangle me, you'd think I burnt their house down. So, I figure that I jot this down to help thin the confusion about myself by posing a simple question, "is it really that strange?" Everyone prefers to look a certain way, everyone finds unique things attractive, I am no different.
Now, it is arguable that my lifestyle choice is unhealthy, I will admit that and retort that I keep a good eye on my health and at the slightest sign of complication; I will drastically change my diet/exercise routine. However at the moment I like how I look, a lot, and my special someone does as well. So, isn't that really all that matters? I do not understand the fiery hatred people have for individuals who are overweight, ESPECIALLY if they were once skinny and - god forbid - once their opinion of attractive. To which I say, I've put on weight for me, not because of depression, I did not "let myself go," and most of all; I don't care about looking good for you, random guy on the internet from Alaska. I'm not out to please others, I care more to feel good about how I look than go out of my way to look good for everyone else.
If anybody actually reads this, I will happily answer any questions. I wanted to get this off of my chest not just to explain things I say that might sound crazy to others, but to give encouragement to people out there. Follow what you feel is right, don't spend your whole life pleasing others at the expense of your own happiness. Be yourself, nobody is perfect, in fact you might even be quite weird but don't hide it! Embrace it! I like being a screwball, better than being plain vanilla any day of the week, in my humble opinion.

Wilson & Co. Inc.
Description: Commercial building construction
Top executive: Parks Wilson, CEO
Most recent year-end revenue: $10.8 million
Previous year-end revenue: $5.8 million
Percentage change: 86.2%
Projected 2012 sales: $9.61 million
Employees: 18
Innovations: Electronic documents. They are good and bad. The good is easy transfer and sharing electronically. The-not-so-good is the propensity for them to get lost in electronic file locations. Paper documents in our industry still have a lot of value for people to hold, touch and see.
Industry changes: So many construction companies have been hurt financially in this recession. The resulting consolidation has resulted in less timely resources available. Suppliers are stocking less inventory and the supply chain takes longer. Then we see our competitors sometimes bidding for less than cost to survive.
Biggest challenge: Geographic diversity. We chose to travel longer and farther for smaller contracts.
People would be surprised to learn: We have built hundreds of medical facilities.
What makes me nostalgic: Model T's and Model A's. I would love to drive one but not own it to maintain.
If time travel were possible, I'd visit: The 1890s to see the beauty of Florida, with my modern fishing tackle to enjoy fishing when there was little human pressure
My legacy to the business community: To leave this industry better somehow because I was a part of it

Oil on canvas, 12 x 20 inches, 1881, signed and dated, in a period gilt frame. As a young man, Johnson was a sailor and one of only twelve survivors aboard a ship that caught fire and sank of the coast of South Africa. He returned to his native Boston, Massachusetts, and studied art with marine painter William E. Norton. Johnson went on to become very well known for his nautical and marine paintings in the later part of the 19th century.
Engraving by William Woollett after the painting by R. Wilson, image size 15 1/4 x 21 inches, published June 4 1778, titled "Solitude" with a remarque of a shield in the lower center margin. This is a rare early proof before additional lettering.

Coach Tony Ingle's Dalton State basketball team upped their record to 17-1 Monday evening with a 74-69 victory over Spring Hill College.
The Badgers scored the first five points of the game. A three-point shot by Sean Tate gave the Roadrunners their first lead of the night, 9-7, with 13:37 on the clock. A few seconds later, Spring Hill regained the lead on a three from Alex Looney.
Dalton went up by six (24-18) with 7:01 left before intermission, but Spring Hill scored the next eight points to take a 26-24 lead. A three by Tyrel Edwards put the Roadrunners back on top.
The game went back and forth before Frederick Gatson hit a shot in the paint with five seconds left in the half to give the Badgers a 34-33 lead.
Dalton State went up early in the second half and took a 12-point lead at the 6:17 mark when Tate hit a lay-up, was fouled, and made a three-point-play out of it.
The Roadrunners hit 9 of 12 free throws down the stretch to preserve the victory, 74-69.
Dalton's Edwards gave the home fans someone new to cheer for. Edwards, playing in his first game since being declared eligible earlier in the afternoon, came off the bench lead Roadrunner scorers with 16. The 6'5" forward hit 3-6 from beyond the arc.
Guard Sean Tate went seven of seven from the foul line to score 15 points. Tate also hit two of his three shots from outside. Ricky Sears, Erich Allen, and Preston Earle each added 10 points.
Demetrice Jacobs scored eight (3-4 free throws) and Anthony Hilliard five for DS.
"We have an unselfish team," Ingle said. "On any given night, someone else comes through for us."
"I've not seen such hustle on a Dalton court since I was playing here," Ingle joked. "This is not my team, this is not the players team," he added. "This team belongs to all of us. It's a Dalton community team. It's something that hopefully we can all continue to get behind."
Monday night it was Edwards. He had just been declared eligible a couple of hours before tip-off. "He's been practicing with us," said Ingle.
He is a good student".
The native of Hamilton, Ontario finished his high school career at Huntington Prep in Huntington, W. Va. He played his freshman year as a guard at Vincennes (IN) University.
Long time Roadrunner fans remember Vincennes as a junior college powerhouse. He averaged 12.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. Edwards hit 51% from the field and 73% from the free-throw line for the Trailblazers.
The newest Roadrunner then saw action at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York.
"It's hard going through the process," Ingle said. "Getting records from other schools and obtaining NAIA eligibility can be time consuming." He praised assistant coach John Redman, Sr. Associate Athletic Director Richard Skeel, and faculty athletic representative Dr. Tom Veve for working long hours on compliance.
The work paid off Monday. "We've been working hard in practice," said Edwards. "I am glad to be a part of this great team. I hope to help where I can."
Spring Hill out rebounded the Roadrunners 42-37. Dalton finished with 63% free throw shooting (17-27) to the Badgers' 76.5% (13-17).
The visitors played all ten and nine scored. Four reached double figures. Frederick Gatson had a game high 20 points and 13 rebounds, Robert Gipson 14 (4-5 from the charity stripe), Jarrett Calhoun 10, and January 28 at 7:00 Alex Looney 10.
Dalton State runs the winning streak to 13. The Roadrunners next action comes Saturday at 4:00 p.m. at Carver Bible College in southwest Atlanta.
Four home games remain on the inaugural four-year season for Dalton State basketball. They host Virginia Intermont College at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, January 13; Life University on January 28 at 7:00 p.m.; Allen University on February 1 at 4:00 p.m.; and Tennessee Temple at 7:00 p.m. on February 25.
