Most often we have articles and posts about books for children but every once in a while it is good to post something of interest to parents. In this New Year, here is a guest article about a former teacher who reinvented herself and has become an award winning author. Here is hoping 2012 is the best for all of you.
Corporate Exec-Turned-Novelist Says It's Never Too Late says Darlene Quinn.
With 7 million Americans receiving unemployment benefits, and many counting the years – instead of months – since their layoff, author Darlene Quinn says now is a good time to reinvent yourself.
She cites James Sherk, a senior policy analyst for the Heritage Foundation, who says the jobs people held two or three years ago often simply aren't there anymore.
"People are trying to find jobs similar to what they had previously, when those jobs completely don't exist," he told Reuters recently. "So they will spend a good portion of their period unemployed looking for jobs that they are unlikely to find."
Quinn is a master of personal reinvention. She started her career as a teacher, then became a contractor, developing self-improvement and modeling programs for hospitals and a store. That segued into a position as a top executive at Bullocks Wilshire department store and "retirement" as a freelance journalist.
And now, the 74-year-old is an award-winning novelist. She published her third book, Webs of Fate (http://www.darlenequinn.net/), this fall, continuing her series about deceit and intrigue in the high-end retail industry.
She says she was always a story-teller; she just never thought about putting her stories on paper.
"Being a victim of the short-lived educational phenomenon called sight-reading, which did not include phonics, I had always been intimidated by the written word," she said.
"Somehow none of my teachers appreciated my creativity when it came to spelling. Therefore, my creative writing efforts were sprinkled with so many red marks, they appeared to have broken out with the measles."
Maybe, she added, she just needed a great story to tell and a passion to tell it that was stronger than her fear.
Quinn became a schoolteacher after earning a bachelor's at San Jose State University. Much later in life, while working as a department store executive during a time of tremendous upheaval in the retail fashion industry, she found her story. But before she tried to tell it, she first sharpened her wit and her pen by writing articles for trade journals, magazines and newspapers.
That led to her being drafted by actor Buddy Ebsen to help him with his first novel, a love story called Kelly's Quest. Ebsen was working on a second, a mystery based on his popular TV persona detective Barnaby Jones, when he died in 2003. His widow asked Quinn to finish the book, Sizzling Cold Case, which was published in 2006.
By now, Quinn was ready for her own tale.
"I felt compelled to tell the story of our vanishing department stores," she said. "Instead of writing a dour tell-all about the business, I decided to chronicle my experiences in one of my fictional worlds and I filled that landscape with the realistic and dynamic characters that inhabited my daily life.
"The age of computers with spell-checking software helped me get over my fear of a red-inked manuscript."
By 2008, Quinn had finished her story of intrigue in the retail fashion business. Webs of Power won a 2009 National Indie Excellence Award the following year. Twisted Webs followed in 2010.
"One thing I've learned in my life is that things change," Quinn said. "People change and, sometimes, their dreams have to change with them.
"To be releasing my third novel at age 74 is the fulfillment of a dream I never knew I had. Until now."

In 2003-OCT, The Lambeth Commission on Communion was created to find ways in which Anglicans can agree to disagree by preventing schism of the Communion over the question of homosexuality. On 2004-OCT-18 the Commission's 92 page Windsor Report was released to the public. It called for dialogue, sensitivity to each other's beliefs, attempts to reach compromises over homosexuality, while striving to keep the Anglican Communion united. 1,2
Bishop Frank Griswold, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, USA was optimistic about the outcome of the Primates' meeting during 2005-FEB. He said: "I can�t imagine a conversation saying we got it wrong. I can see a conversation saying we should have been more aware of the effect that the decisions we took would have in other places." 5 Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada was similarly hopeful that the primates' meeting would have a "moderating influence" on the debate. 6
Almost all of the heads of the 38 Anglican Provinces (national churches) met during 2005-FEB. The primates, in effect, rejected the Windsor Report. For the first time in history, they "intervened in other provinces and requested that" 5 the Episcopal Church, USA and the Anglican Church of Canada withdraw from the Anglican Consultative Council until the next Lambeth Conference of 2008. This is the key body which facilitates contact among the 38 provinces.
In effect, the primates have ejected the two North American churches from worldwide Anglican Community. The Anglican Communion survived internal conflicts in:
But it seems to have not been able to survive an internal conflict over the treatment of homosexuals in the Communion.
Thirty five primates met at the Dromantine Retreat and Conference Centre in Newry, Northern Ireland. Three primates -- those of Burundi, Hong Kong, and North India -- were unable to attend the meeting.
The primates initiated the first major split of the Anglican Communion. They asked the Episcopal Church, USA and the Anglican Church of Canada to withdraw from a core structure of the Anglican Communion: the Anglican Consultative Council. It is a key body which facilitates contact among the 38 provinces. The Council is one of the four "instruments of unity" within the Communion. The other three are: The Archbishop of Canterbury, The Lambeth Conference and the Primates' Meeting.
Having asked the two North American churches to withdraw from the Anglican Consultative Council, the Primates then asked the Council to organize a meeting in 2005-JUN at which the two provinces would be asked explain their beliefs about homosexuality. 3
It appears that the Windsor Report's suggestions of dialogue and consultation are falling on deaf ears.
A communiqu� was issued which said, in part:
According to the Washington Post: "While U.S. bishops have repeatedly called for dialogue with other churches, they have given no indication that they are prepared to back down in the dispute. In a statement, Presiding Bishop Frank T. Griswold said that the Episcopal Church had 'sought to act with integrity.' Griswold told the BBC that Robinson's appointment as bishop of New Hampshire had been 'right and proper.' U.S. church officials questioned whether the other church leaders had the right to request that the American church withdraw from the consultative council, which is due to meet in June in the English town of Nottingham. An Episcopal Church spokeswoman, Rev. Jan Nunley, said such a step should properly be taken by the consultative council itself." 7
The Rt. Revd. John Paterson, chairperson of the Anglican Consultative Council issued a statement which said, in part: "I have asked the Design Group to include in our programme an opportunity for a Consultation at which the major input will come from members of ECUSA and the Anglican Church of Canada, and it is hoped that delegates from other parts of the Communion will contribute also. We will also continue to work on the request from Lambeth Conference 1998 Resolution 1.10 which the ACC began at its meeting in Dundee Scotland in 1999. The aim will be to initiate a listening and study process which will review what has already taken place and co-ordinate further work in this area."
The Bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church appear to have placed themselves on the liberal side of the Anglican schism by their comments on the Primates' communiqu�. They posted a statement on their web site on 2005-MAR-04. It notes that:
"...there is in our life significant diversity of view on both the matter of the consecration of Gene Robinson and the authorization of liturgies for the blessing of same sex unions. Indeed, the Windsor Report itself in suggesting that a moratorium be placed on such persons being consecrated bishops, itself acknowledges the existence of many such relationships within the Church." The Scottish Episcopal Church has never regarded the fact that someone was in a close relationship with a member of the same sex as in itself constituting a bar to the exercise of an ordained ministry. The Scottish Episcopal Church has, even before the 1998 Lambeth Conference, sought to be welcoming and open to persons of homosexual orientation in our congregations, and to listen to their experiences. This has on occasion led clergy to respond to requests to give a blessing to persons who were struggling with elements in their relationship and who asked for such a prayer." 9
They agreed that with the current state of the debate within the Anglican Communion, this would not be the appropriate time to create a formal liturgy for the blessing of same-sex relationships.
They expressed their regret that the Evangelical Church, USA and the Anglican Church of Canada were asked to withdraws from the Anglican Consultative Council.
They concluded: "We are conscious that as a Church we are much indebted in our life both to a significant presence of persons of homosexual (lesbian and gay) orientation, and also to those whose theology and stance would be critical of attitudes to sexuality other than abstinence outside marriage. We rejoice in both, and it must be our prayer that discussion following the Windsor Report and the Primates� Meeting will enable the energy of both to be harnessed to serve the Church and the proclamation of the gospel." 9
Bruce Cameron, Bishop of Aberdeen, later told BBC Radio: "We are not simply making a provocative statement. We are committed to a debate across the differences."
This position was welcomed by Stonewall, a gay-positive group. Spokesperson Alan Wardle called the church's position "a sensible approach...It strikes us as a real pity that the Anglican Church has been tearing itself to pieces" over a trivial issue.
Their MAR-04 statement brought a lot of media attention which focused on the province's absence of a bar to ordination by gays and lesbians in committed relationships. On 2005-MAR-23, they responded: "In referring to the fact that there is no current bar to ordination for someone who might be in a close relationship with a member of the same sex, the Bishops were simply stating the present position as it applies in Scotland where, unlike some other provinces, no motion discouraging such ordinations has ever been passed by our General Synod. Consequently, the statement earlier this month does not represent any change in policy on the part of the Bishops." 10
The Scottish Episcopal Church has seven dioceses, and approximately 45,000 members. It started ordaining women as deacons in 1985, and as priests in 1994. 9
On the surface, the solution to the split within the Communion is simple. As the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, said on 2005-FEB-26: "We still face the possibility of division, of course we do. That's not going to go away. Any lasting solution, I think, will require people to say somewhere along the line, 'Yes, we were wrong'." 8 However, neither side seems to be able to acknowledge that they are wrong, or even that the other side's position has some validity.
The crux of the problem is that:
There are only two apparent solutions to this impasse:
These should be simple do do, because these are mere statements of fact -- a recognition of reality.

Yesterday was the final day in our week long vacation, and was capped off perfectly by a visit with Nao Maru and his family. We first met the Maru Family, famous for King Kizer - the current ROBO-ONE Champion, last March in Tokyo at the ROBO-ONE 9 humanoid robot competition. They greeted us yesterday morning (without their robots) at the Maibara bullet train station, then took us on a personally guided sight seeing tour of the Hikone area that included hiking up in the snow to Hikone Castle next to Lake Biwa (we even took off our shoes and climbed to the top floor of the castle), a beautiful snow covered Japanese garden, a great lunch, and then several hours at their home discussing - and playing with - robots.

This is a W32 port of [ XeTeX ] for Linux by Jonathan Kew.
The latest XeTeX for W32 is linked with fontconfig 2.11.93.
Version number of fontconfig is shown by
fc-cache --version
(1) Get the latest web2c-w32.tar.xz, web2c-lib.tar.xz and expand them in the root directory of W32TeX. For example, cd c:\w32tex tar Jxvf web2c-w32.tar.xz tar Jxvf web2c-lib.tar.xz (note that the option character is the upper case J) The command tar.exe is found in the archive texinst2015.zip. The latest web2c-w32.tar.xz contains new fmtutil.cnf and texmf.cnf which support xetex. Important variables in texmf.cnf include FONTCONFIG_FILE = fonts.conf FONTCONFIG_PATH = $TEXMFMAIN/fonts/conf FC_CACHEDIR = $TEXMFMAIN/fonts/cache (2) Expand the xetex for W32 xetex-w32.tar.xz in the root directory of W32TeX. For example, cd c:\w32tex tar Jxvf xetex-w32.tar.xz (3) Edit the section "Find fonts in these directories" in the file RootDir/share/texmf-dist/fonts/conf/fonts.conf. The default content of the section is <dir>c:/windows/fonts</dir> If that is ok and you do not have additional directories for fonts, you need not edit the file fonts.conf. If the name of the directory of windows system fonts is different from c:/windows/fonts, you must edit the file fonts.conf. You can add directories for fonts if you have additional fonts by using the file RootDir/share/texmf-dist/fonts/conf/local.conf. For example: <dir>c:/w32tex/share/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype</dir> <dir>c:/w32tex/share/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype</dir> (Note that the file local.conf is distributed by the name local.conf.dist. Thus users have to rename the local.conf.dist as local.conf.) Subdirectories are automatically searched. (4) Run a command fc-cache -v on the console. This command creates cache files in RootDir/share/texmf-dist/fonts/cache by scanning font files in the above directories. Note that this command needs a few minutes if there are many large font files. Now you can enjoy xetex or xelatex. Names of supported fonts will be printed in a file by fc-list >namelist.txt in utf8 encoding.
If you have edited the file "fonts.conf", run a command fc-cache -v on the console. If you have added new font files in a directory, run a command fc-cache -v on the console.
(1) Expand the file xetex-w32.tar.xz in a suitable temporary directory. Hereafter PKG means xetex-w32.tar.xz. (2) Copy all files in PKG/bin into your directory for binaries. (3) Find the physical place of $TEXMFMAIN by the command kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFMAIN (4) Copy all directories and files under PKG/share/texmf into your $TEXMFMAIN. (5) Add the following lines at suitable places in your texmf.cnf: TEXINPUTS.xetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{plain,generic,}// TEXINPUTS.xelatex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{xelatex,generic,latex,}// % % XeTeX variables % These are differently defined in the TeX Live. % Don't change the definition in the TeX Live. % FONTCONFIG_FILE = fonts.conf FONTCONFIG_PATH = $TEXMFMAIN/fonts/conf FC_CACHEDIR = $TEXMFMAIN/fonts/cache (6) Add the following line if there is not in your texmf.cnf: engine = unsetengine (7) Check values of TEXFORMATS etc. in your texmf.cnf and change them as follows: TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c{/$engine,} MFBASES = $TEXFORMATS MPMEMS = $TEXFORMATS (8) Run mktexlsr if necessary.
This is a W32 port of the latest test version of LuaTeX under development by Taco Hoekwater et al. Note that this is not the released LuaTeX and features may change.

4-9-15: Rookie head coach Dan Quinn has been quite active in his first go around in free agency, as the Falcons have leaned hard on improving their defense. Adrian Clayborn was brought in to shore up the defensive line, while Justin Durant and Brooks Reed were signed to increase competition in the linebacking corps. Atlanta also added pass rusher O'Brien Schofield and did well to retain safety Charles Godfrey. Mike Pearson will come in and try to help a shaky offensive line, as well, while Phillip Adams comes in to provide versatility and depth to Atlanta's secondary. The Falcons did lose wide receiver Harry Douglas and will be on the lookout for running back help, but so far is off to a solid start this offseason.
3-9-15: The Atlanta Falcons didn't live up to expectations in 2014, failing to miss the playoffs for the second year in a row. That led to the firing of head coach Mike Smith, which gave way to a new philosophy with rookie head coach Dan Quinn taking over. With Quinn leading the charge, the formerly soft Falcons are expected to turn into a tough, hard-nosed team - especially on defense. That new mentality could lead to some new faces coming in to help Atlanta's defense, specifically in the pass rush department. On offense, it figures to be business as usual in the passing game, while the release of Steven Jackson frees up Devonta Freeman or a new incoming running back to inject life into Atlanta's struggling running game. That may be fruitless to attempt without some more work on the offensive line, of course.
12-29-14: Even if Steven Jackson was not out due to a quad injury, the Falcons would not have won Sunday's game against the visiting Carolina Panthers. With the 34-3 loss, the Falcons finished the season with a 6-10 record. Then, on Monday, they fired coach Mike Smith, who finished his tenure with Atlanta 20 games over .500, but without a Super Bowl appearance.
12-23-14: The Falcons stayed undefeated against divisional opponents this season, as they swept the New Orleans Saints for the first time since 2005. Matt Ryan completed 30 of his 40 passing attempts for 322 yards and a touchdown in the 30-14 victory. The 6-9 Falcons will host the 6-8-1 Carolina Panthers in Atlanta, and the winner will win the NFC South title.
12-17-14: The Falcons were without Julio Jones, the league's leader in receiving yards per game, due to a hip injury on Sunday, as Atlanta fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-20. The Steelers scored the first 13 points of the game, and the Falcons were unable to catch up. In the fourth quarter, Roddy White set a franchise record with his 62nd career touchdown.
12-9-14: Roddy White was active on Monday after missing one game due to an ankle injury, but it was Julio Jones who had a tremendous night in Atlanta's 43-37 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Jones scored one touchdown on 11 receptions, and his 259 yards were the most in a single game in franchise history.
12-3-14: Steven Jackson surprised everyone with his 100-yard rushing game against the ArizonaCardinals on Sunday. The Roddy White-less Falcons continued their home success against Arizona, as they defeated an opponent outside of the NFC South for the first time this season. It was an important victory for the Falcons as they still hold the tiebreaker for first place in their division.
11-26-14: Matt Ryan completed 27 of his 43 passing attempts for 273 yards and two touchdowns, but Steven Jackson ran for just 34 yards on 13 rushes. Although the veteran running back got into the end zone on Sunday, he was not efficient in Atlanta's 26-24 loss. The Falcons scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, but then Billy Cundiff kicked the game-winning field goal.
11-19-14: Behind 268 yards and a touchdown from Matt Ryan and four field goals from Matt Bryant, the Falcons defeated the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, 19-17. The Falcons' victory combined with the New Orleans Saints' loss gave Atlanta the top spot in the NFC South. In addition, Roddy White reached 10,000 receiving yards for his career.
11-12-14: The Falcons finally stopped their lengthy losing streak, as they scored in every quarter in their 27-17 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Matt Ryan connected with Julio Jones for more than half of his passing yards. Steven Jackson ran for 81 yards on 16 rushes and got into the end zone.
11-6-14: The Falcons' schedule has not been too kind to them this season, but they will come out of their bye facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Atlanta is hoping that the extra time off can help the team end its five-game losing streak. Fortunately for the Falcons, Josh McCown will be starting for the first time since the Falcons dispatched the Buccaneers in Week 3.
10-30-14: There was early football on television in the United States as the Atlanta Falcons were the "home" team. The Falcons seemed to really enjoy playing in London, as they jumped out to a 21-point lead in the first half. However, they did not score another point in the game, as they fell to the Detroit Lions, 22-21. Fortunately, the Falcons get their bye in Week 9 to see if they can find a way turn around their season.
10-21-14: With yet another loss, the Falcons are on their way to a second straight season below .500 after making it to the playoffs the previous three years. Atlanta could only muster one score in Baltimore on Sunday, and it came in the fourth quarter when the Falcons were down by 20 points.
10-14-14: The Falcons' losing streak continued on Sunday, as they fell to the Chicago Bears, 27-13. Although Atlanta's offense was not doing too well, Matt Bryant continued his strong kicking. In this contest, he made both of his field goals, which were each from more than 50 yards. The Falcons look to bounce back in Baltimore in Week 7.
10-8-14: Before Week 5, Roddy White practiced on a Wednesday for the first time during the 2014 season. However, he and the Falcons offense struggled near the end of Sunday's game. Atlanta was shut out in the fourth quarter, as the New York Giants came back to win, 30-20, and dropped the Falcons to 2-3 on the season.
10-1-14: The Falcons received extra rest for their Week 4 game, but could not score in the fourth quarter in Minnesota. Atlanta had two big touchdown plays in the third quarter: one was a Devin Hester 36-yard score on a reception from Matt Ryan and the other a 48-yard rush to end zone by Antone Smith. However, the Falcons allowed the Vikings to score 14 points in the final 15 minutes, which led to Atlanta's 41-28 loss.
9-25-14: The Falcons gave their fans a show by blowing out the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, 56-14. Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Devin Hester were the stars of the night. Ryan almost threw for 300 yards in fewer than two and a half quarters. Jones caught nine passes for 161 yards and two touchdowns. Hester set the NFL record for the most career total return touchdowns.
9-17-14: After having a terrific Week 1, Matt Ryan was shut down by the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. He completed just 24 of his 44 pass attempts, threw only one touchdown and had three interceptions. However, on the bright side, Julio Jones caught seven receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown.
9-10-14: Matt Ryan and the Falcons put on an offensive show on Sunday in front of their home crowd. The Boston College product threw for a career-high 448 yards and added three touchdowns. Then, in overtime, a costly Marques Colston fumble led to Matt Bryant's game-winning 52-yard field goal to bring the Falcons the 37-34 victory.
9-4-14: The Falcons will be hosting the New Orleans Saints as they begin what hopes to be a bounce-back season. They made the playoffs in 2010, 2011 and 2012, but their postseason streak came to a screeching halt with their 4-12 season last year. It was by far the worst Atlanta record with Mike Smith and Matt Ryan.
8-26-14: Although the Falcons fell to 1-2 on the preseason on Saturday, Matt Ryan played very well. In Atlanta's 24-17 loss, Matt Ryan completed 18 of his 23 pass attempts for 224 yards and two touchdowns. Julio Jones, who racked up 63 yards on two catches, and Devin Hester, who had four receptors for 56 yards, accounted for the touchdowns. Then, on Monday, Steven Jackson returned to practice after missing almost a month.
8-20-14: Over the offseason, Julio Jones had foot surgery and added 10 pounds of muscle, but he reportedly still has the same speed he has had in previous years. On Saturday, he caught just one of his four targets, but the one reception was for a team-high 29 yards. Unfortunately, left tackle Sam Baker, who played just four games last season, suffered a torn patella tendon and is out for the 2014 season.
8-14-14: The Falcons, who are this year's Hard Knocks team, began their preseason on a good note. They scored in all four quarters and beat the visiting Miami Dolphins by six points on Friday. The Falcons' only touchdown that evening was late in the first quarter on a drive led by Matt Ryan. Jacquizz Rodgers' two-yard rush completed the touchdown drive.
8-5-14: The Falcons will be hosting the Miami Dolphins in their preseason opener on Friday. This past Saturday was a special day for Claude Humphrey, who spent most of his career with the Falcons. The 70-year-old defensive end was formally enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on that day.
7-30-14: The Atlanta Falcons are having deja vu. Veteran running back Steven Jackson is out once again with a hamstring injury - an issue that hampered him for much of 2013. Jackson was said to be looking more spry than he did a year ago, but is now out "indefinitely" with his latest hamstring issue. Jackson is still tentatively expected to be ready to go come week one, but could end up losing snaps to backups Jacquizz Rodgers and Devonta Freeman due to the missed time. Atlanta has something to feel good about, though, as they ensured they have some stability at wide receiver for the next few years. The team agreed to terms with veteran receiver Roddy White, locking him up to a new four-year, $30 million deal.
7-15-14: The big story of Atlanta's offseason so far has been wide receiver Julio Jones' return to full strength. The stud play-maker missed over half of 2013 with a recurring foot issue, but is said to be back to 100% and ready to hit the ground running. Jones recently stated he's "back to the old Julio" but is expected to be eased back into action slowly when camp opens for Atlanta's veterans on July 24th. Fellow receiver Drew Davis hasn't been quite as fortunate with his own foot injury, as he's expected to begin training camp on the PUP list.
6-5-14: The Atlanta Falcons have been quiet since a stellar showing in the 2014 NFL Draft, as they've mostly been busy locking up their new draft picks. The biggest of which was easily their 6th overall selection, stud offensive tackle Jake Matthews. Matthews got his deal wrapped up on May 21st, with the two sides agreeing to a four-year pact. The deal comes with a fifth-year team option and gives the Falcons a versatile tackle for the long-term that can man either side of the line. Atlanta also secured talented rookie running back Devonta Freeman, as well as hulking defensive lineman Ra'Shede Hageman. The latest buzz has been around freakish wide receiver Julio Jones, who appears to be progressing well from a foot injury that ended his 2013 season prematurely.
5-19-14: The Atlanta Falcons went into the 2014 NFL Draft with serious needs at offensive tackle and defensive end. With the #6 overall pick, they'd nail down at least one spot with an elite player. Here's how their selections mapped out:
Round 1. Pick 06 Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M Round 2. Pick 05 Ra'Shede Hageman, DL , Minnesota Round 3. Pick 04 Dezmen Southward, DB , Wisconsin Round 4. Pick 39 Prince Shembo, LB, Notre Dame Round 5. Pick 07 Ricardo Allen, CB, Purdue Round 5. Pick 28 Marquis Spruill, LB, Syracuse Round 7. Pick 38 Yawin Smallwood, OLB, UConn Round 7. Pick 40 Tyler Starr, OLB, South Dakota
Atlanta knocked one need down right away, as the steady and NFL-ready Matthews should slide into one tackle spot and help protect Matt Ryan for years to come. Sticking on the line but shifting to defense, the Falcons got a borderline still with the athletic and beastly Hageman in round two. With a potential shift to a 3-4 base defense, landing Hageman could turn out to be a bigger deal than it appears. The Falcons didn't make any other huge picks throughout the draft, but they did wisely acquire more depth and competition for their secondary and linebacking corps.
5-9-14: The Atlanta Falcons had two major holes going into this year's draft: a lack of elite pass rushing and instability in pass protection. Consider one problem fixed. While the Falcons didn't have a stud pass rusher slide to them (missed out on Khalil Mack by one pick), they surely didn't mind patching up their offensive line with the selection of Texas A&M tackle, Jake Matthews. Matthews ended up being the second tackle off the board, but is probably the most well-rounded, NFL-ready tackle in the draft. Matt Ryan's blind side is covered.
4-28-14: The Atlanta Falcons were an unlucky team in 2013. They dealt with numerous injuries to key players and lost several close games that they normally would win. Heading into 2014, their biggest concern has to be staying healthy, with concern number two being to get better on defense. They absolutely need more out of their pass-rush, which is why we keep hearing about them wanting to trade up to nab Jadeveon Clowney or Khalil Mack. If they can't get one of them, though, they would likely revert to offensive tackle, which is a huge need. Jake Matthews and Greg Robinson are elite tackles that Atlanta would be stoked to have. Heading into the second round, the Falcons could they go after their pass rush with someone like Trent Murphy. Tight end is also a glaring hole with Tony Gonzalez now retired. Washington tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins would give them size and athleticism at the position they sorely lack.
4-18-14: The Atlanta Falcons suffered through a rough injury-plagued 2013 season and will look to rebound in a big way in 2014. That will likely begin with giving their star player some rest, so fans can probably count stud wide receiver Julio Jones out for the week one battle against the Miami Dolphins. Jones and the rest of the starters could see extended action as early as week two, though, as the Dirty Birds head to Houston to take on the Texans. Things should progress even more against the Tennessee Titans in week three, where the Falcons should look to play at least two quarters on the road. Atlanta's preseason schedule draws to a close one week later in Jacksonville, where they should deploy mostly backups against the Jaguars.
4-7-14: The Atlanta Falcons went through some horrific troubles in 2013, dealing with injuries and poor line play on both sides of the ball. Naturally, the Falcons hit the trenches early and often in free agency, bring in big bodies like Paul Soliali and Tyson Jackson, while also re-signing Peria Jerry, Jonathan Babineaux and Corey Peters. Atlanta did the same for the offensive line, signing Jon Asomoah and Gabe Carimi as high upside risks, while also holding onto offensive tackle Mike Johnson. Atlanta marches into the 2014 NFL Draft still needing some help at defensive end and tackle, but with better health in 2014 still isn't far away from getting back to the playoffs.
3-21-14: After a disastrous 2013 season that saw the Falcons drop from Super Bowl contenders to bottom feeders, it appears they are picking up the pieces with a solid stand in free agency. There are still plenty of holes to address, but the Falcons have done themselves a favor by addressing their offensive line, as well as their shaky defense. Re-signing right tackle Mike Johnson could potentially be the only move they need to make in that area if he can stay healthy, while guard Jon Asamoah could end up being a very strong depth add. On the defensive side of things, Atlanta cut some dead weight in aging cornerback Asante Samuel, while adding great run defense talent in Tyson Jackson and Paul Soliali on the line. Atlanta could still grab a tackle and pass-rusher in the draft, but is already much better in the trenches than they were a year ago.
12-31-13: Atlanta wanted to say goodbye to veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez with a win. The Carolina Panthers had other plans. Gonzalez caught four balls for 56 yards and almost ended his pro career with a win, but the Falcons couldn't finish the job and lost their 12th game of 2013 at home, 21-20.
12-24-13: Matt Ryan played excellent football en route to 348 passing yards and two touchdowns, but a pick-six late in the game ruined his and the Falcons' night as the San Francisco 49ers stole the win, 34-24. Wide receiver Roddy White was sensational, reeling in 12 of 15 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown as Atlanta dropped to 4-11.
12-17-13: Steven Jackson fought for 38 hard-earned rushing yards and found the end-zone twice as Atlanta held on at home to top the Washington Redskins, 27-26. The win was more fortunate than usual, as the Redskins scored a late touchdown that would have likely sent the game into overtime, but the Falcons stopped a two-point conversion attempt with just 18 seconds remaining to get the win.
12-10-13: Matt Ryan tossed two touchdowns and Atlanta gave a valiant effort, but couldn't get it done with their final opportunities, losing on the road to the Green Bay Packers, 22-21. Off-season free agent acquisition Steven Jackson added 71 yards on the ground in Atlanta's 10th loss of the year.
12-3-13: The Atlanta Falcons were eliminated from the playoffs before they hit the field on Sunday, yet they played like they had everything to gain. Roddy White had his best game of 2013, hauling in 10 receptions for 143 yards, while running back Steven Jackson added two touchdowns on the ground in the exciting 34-31 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills.
11-26-13: The Falcons were supposed to be dead in the water entering week 12, as they were just 2-9 and had been struggling to even compete in recent weeks. They didn't get the memo. Instead of laying down the New Orleans Saints, Atlanta struck first for a 7-0 lead. They gave the Saints a fight throughout, but did end up conceding defeat, 17-13.
11-19-13: Matt Ryan and the Atlanta offense struggled early for the third straight week and were never able to recover from a huge hole, falling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road, 41-28. The Falcons were gashed all day on defense by third string running back Bobby Rainey, who piled on over 160 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the defeat.
11-12-13: Matt Ryan continued his rough stretch, as not even the healthy return of star wide receiver Roddy White could cure what ails Ryan and this Atlanta offense. Ryan avoided throwing an interception this time around, but just couldn't move the ball consistently, as the Falcons failed to establish any semblance of a ground game in a deflating 33-10 home loss.
11-5-13: Matt Ryan clearly misses Julio Jones and Roddy White. An early Steven Jackson touchdown run that would have made the week nine battle with the Panthers a close contest was called back and nothing else went right as Atlanta dropped to 2-6 in a 34-10 blowout loss. Matt Ryan was off of his game for the second straight week, as he threw three interceptions in the defeat.
10-30-13: The Atlanta Falcons were supposed to be climbing out of an early hole in week eight with a second straight win. Instead, Matt Ryan threw four picks and got sacked four times in a 27-13 road loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Atlanta simply couldn't get anything going in this one and had to work for every little bit of success they found, as Arizona's defense give them problems all day.
10-22-13: No Roddy White, Julio Jones or Steven Jackson? No problem. The Atlanta Falcons overcame a slew of injuries and an ineffective ground attack to get their second win on the season, a 31-23 triumph over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This one wasn't quite as close as it appeared, as Matt Ryan tossed three scoring strikes and backup wide receiver Harry Douglas stepped up in an expanded role (149 yards and a touchdown) as Atlanta began to dig itself out of a 1-4 hole.
10-9-13: Wide receiver Julio Jones could miss the rest of the 2013 NFL season with a foot injury. Jones will seek a second opinion on Wednesday.
10-8-13: Atlanta's week five battle with the New York Jets was full of poor decisions, bad defense and late-game heroics. It's too bad the latter didn't matter in the end. Head coach Mike Smith made a poor call to go for it on the goal-line with no time left before the half, turning a potential 17-10 deficit into a 17-7 hole at the break. Matt Ryan worked against the Jets all night and overcame Smith's questionable decision-making, putting Atlanta up 28-27 with just under two minutes to go. Unfortunately, just as had been the case all night, Atlanta's injury-ravaged defense could not slow Geno Smith, who drove the Jets down the field and let kicker Nick Folk send the once mighty Falcons to a 1-4 start in the 30-28 home loss.
10-1-13: The Atlanta Falcons entered week four with slight desperation at home against the New England Patriots, but were unable to get to 2-2 despite some huge individual performances. Matt Ryan accounted for most of Atlanta's offense, as he took it to the air 54 times, putting up 421 passing yards and two touchdowns. Ryan found tight end Tony Gonzalez to be his most reliable target in the loss, as Gonzo racked up 12 catches for 149 yards and two touchdowns. Atlanta simply couldn't overcome a 30-13 hole late in this one, thanks to an ineffective rushing attack and a defense that was unable to register a single sack or turnover.
9-19-13: The Atlanta Falcons looked to be taking care of business in a big way early in this battle, as they went up 24-3 on the visiting Rams and appeared to be headed for a nasty blowout. Sam Bradford and the Rams had other ideas, however, as St. Louis stormed back to make a game of it before bowing out in the 31-24 win for Atlanta. Ex-Rams running back Steven Jackson scored a touchdown before leaving the game due to injury, while Atlanta wide receiver Julio Jones was by far the MVP of this battle, as he caught 11 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown. It was an exciting shootout that nearly was capped with a ridiculous comeback, but ultimately ended with the Falcons preventing a 0-2 start to their season with the win at home. Next weekend, the Falcons head to Miami to take on one of the early season surprises in the NFL, the 2-0 Dolphins.
9-10-13: The Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints were supposed to combine for week one's most heated offensive battle. Instead, both teams struggled out of the gates and flamed out in the second half. Drew Brees ended up leading the way with over 350 passing yards and the Saints' defense was the unlikely hero, allowing Atlanta to just 17 points in a tight 23-17 win. The Falcons had a chance to steal the game late, but turned the ball over on downs after a Matt Ryan pass fell incomplete in the end-zone. Next week, the Falcons host the Rams at The Georgia Dome.
9-3-13: Here are the Falcons final roster cuts heading into the regular season:LB Brian Banks, G Theo Goins, DT Neal Huynh, CB Terrence Johnson, S Charles Mitchell, DT Micanor Regis, T Alec Savoie, LB Pat Schiller, K Jeremy Shelley, CB Peyton Thompson, and RB Ronnie Wingo, WR James Rodgers, LB Robert James, WR Darius Johnson, OL Jacques McClendon, FB Patrick DiMarco, WR Martel Moore, OG Phillipkeith Manley, CB Jordan Mabin, DT Adam Replogle. Injured Reserve: QB Sean Renfree and TE Andrew Szczerba.
8-16-13: Despite their 27-23 loss to the Ravens, Week 2 of the NFL preseason went a lot better than week 1 for the Falcons. After their starters built up a 23-7 lead, the backups allowed 20 unanswered point from to the Ravens. Matt Ryan completed 8 of 15 passes for 97 yards and a TD to Julio Jones. Jones caught 3 balls for 55 yards. Steven Jackson ran the ball 8 times for 42, Josh Vaughan chipped in with 5 carries and a team-high 44 yards, while Jacquizz Rodgers carries it 10 times for 28 yards and a TD.
8-11-13: The Falcons lost their preseason opener to the Bengals 34-10. Matt Ryan completed 6 of his 9 passes for 89 yards. Newly acquired running back Steven Jackson had five carries for only 8 yards.
7-25-13: Matt Ryan signed a 5-year, $103.75 million extension with the Falcons on Thursday. $59 million is guaranteed.
7-10-13: The Atlanta Falcons were merely a 4th down conversion away from last year's Super Bowl, so it's no shock they didn't make many changes heading into 2013. Would-be retired tight end Tony Gonzalez decided to stick around, though, while the team drastically improved their rushing attack by adding Steven Jackson to the mix. On defense, Atlanta lost Dunta Robinson and Brent Grimes from their secondary, but boosted their pass-rush with Osi Umenyiora and also drafted cornerback Desmond Trufant to pair with Asante Samuel. The Falcons are as good as they were last year, if not better, and have another shot at the Super Bowl in 2013.
6-12-13: It's no secret that the Falcons are out for blood in 2013. After missing the Super Bowl by a hair and finally winning their first playoff game in the Matt Ryan/Mike Smith era, Atlanta can genuinely taste the NFL title game, and they're going to have a determined demeanour throughout the 2013 season. That'd be the situation no matter what, probably, but add on veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez, who was supposed to be hanging up his cleats, and these Falcons have extra motivation to finish the job this season. With a high-powered offense and an upgrade at running back with the signing of steady vet Steven Jackson, there is no reason why the Falcons shouldn't get back to the playoffs and make a deep run.
1-20-13: After defeating the Seahawks in the Divisional round, the Falcons dream season came to an end in the NFC Championship game, losing 28-24 to the 49ers.
2013 Falcons Draft Overview:
1-9-13: The Falcons won 13 games this year earning the wild card bye week and home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. They will face a young and hungry Seattle Seahawks team for the first time this year. The Falcons have been unbelievable at home this season using the dome to their advantage. Matt Ryan and their high powered air attack will meet a legitimate test against Seattle's tall and talented corners. The offensive line will also be tested against Seattle's fast defensive linemen. Matt Ryan threw for over 4,000 yards this year and will need to look for more of the same type of success if Atlanta wants to back up its 13-3 record and make a title push.
12-4-12: The Atlanta Falcons have not only clinched their division but they also possess the best record in Football. At 11-1 and with the 3-9 Panthers on deck for them, some may wonder if this team may pack it in and rest some players in preparation for the playoffs. While that is a risky move it may prove wise in order to keep certain players healthy. With their only loss coming on the road, the Falcons will look to host each round of the NFC playoffs in their home, the Georgia Dome.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The author of the international bestsellers Gates of Fire and Tides of War delivers his most gripping and imaginative novel of the ancient world — a stunning epic of love and war that breathes life into the grand myth of the ferocious female warrior culture of the Amazons.
Steven Pressfield has gained a passionate worldwide following for his magnificent novels of ancient Greece. In Last of the Amazons, Pressfield has surpassed himself, re-creating a vanished world in a brilliant novel that will delight his loyal readers and bring legions more to his singular and powerful restoration of the past. In the time before Homer, the legendary Theseus, King of Athens (an actual historical figure), set sail on a journey that brought him into the land of tal Kyrte, the "free people," a nation of proud female warriors whom the Greeks called "Amazons." The Amazons, bound to each other as lovers as well as fighters, distrusted the Greeks, with their boastful talk of "civilization." So when the great war queen Antiope fell in love with Theseus and fled with the Greeks, the mighty Amazon nation rose up in rage. Last of the Amazons is not merely a masterful tale of war and revenge. Pressfield has created a cast of extraordinarily vivid characters, from the unforgettable Selene, whose surrender to the Greeks does nothing to tame her; to her lover, Damon, an Athenian warrior who grows to cherish the wild Amazon ways; to the narrator, Bones, a young girl from a noble family who was nursed by Selene from birth and secretly taught the Amazon way; to the great Theseus, the tragic king; and to Antiope, the noble queen who betrayed tal Kyrte for the love of Theseus. With astounding immediacy and extraordinary attention to military detail, Pressfield transports readers into the heat and terror of war. Equally impressive is his creation of the Amazon nation, its people, its rituals and myths, its greatness and savagery. Last of the Amazons is thrilling on every page, an epic tale of the clash between wildness and civilization, patriotism and love, man and woman. Review:"Amid the carnage, gore and violence, Pressfield presents a love story so grand it pits nations against one another. Pressfield's javelin is his pen and he wields it well in this gruesome tale of ancient blood lust in an age when there is no word for mercy." Publishers Weekly
Review:"Pressfield's attention to military detail fuels the action in this fantastical novel." Michael Phillips, Book Magazine
Review:"Pressfield's splendid tale of valor, honor, and comradeship memorializes those women whose lives and deeds have faded into the mists of legend. Highly recommended." Library Journal

Should I get an Associate's Degree or Certificate in Medical Assisting?
When considering a medical assisting career, you have two degree choices: a certificate or an Associate degree. Many junior or technical colleges offer both. Medical assisting certificate programs are typically 9-12 months long, while an Associate degree program can be 24 months long. Before deciding on a program, be sure to weigh the benefits of both education types to see what best fits your needs and lifestyle.
How do you choose?
It can be confusing to figure out whether an Associate degree in medical assisting is better, or simply a certificate. Here are some questions to help:
- How many months can you commit to an education program?
- What is the job market like for MAs in your area?
- Do local employers prefer one degree type over the other?
- Do you plan to return to school to further your education within five years?
- Do you plan to "try out" the medical profession to see if it's for you?
Certificate Programs take just one year !
Medical assisting certificate programs are generally one year in length or less. This education type is very focused on the specific knowledge and skills you'll need to work as a medical assistant. These programs are often very fast-paced and intense. You can expect to spend dedicated hours studying and completing externships.
- You'll complete school sooner so you can enter the job market quicker
- A focused program that doesn't make you take extra courses that you don't need
- Usually less expensive than an Associate degree program
One major drawback of a certificate program is that classes you've taken may not be eligible for credit should you choose to continue your education. Because many certificate courses are not recognized as college credits, you may have to repeat them when entering higher education programs.
AAS Degree could get you a higher starting salary:
Associate degree programs in medical assisting are a bit more in-depth than a certificate program. You'll be required to take general liberal arts classes, as well as core clinical and administrative courses. You may be required to take language and writing courses, business communications and sociology or speech classes as part of your liberal arts requirement.
if you are considering attending school, you could request information ( free of cost ) from multiple schools by clicking the button below
General education classes may also be a requirement, including basic math and English courses. The foundation of an Associate degree in medical assisting is similar to those found at any college or university.
- Your college credits are more likely to transfer to a Bachelor degree program or other higher education
- Employers may view you as a more well-rounded and educated candidate for employment
- You may receive a slightly higher starting salary, or be eligible for advanced employment
- You may be more likely to land a job in specialty medicine as these jobs can require a higher knowledge base that general medicine.
If you plan to further your education—say to go on to a registered nurse program—an Associate degree in medical assisting is a great choice. You'll have more college credits to apply to your education and may feel more academically prepared for challenging classes.
One drawback of an Associate degree is the cost. These programs can cost several thousand dollars in program, externship and graduation fees.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that medical assistants typically earn about $28,000 per year. Depending on employer requirements for education, medical assistants with an Associate degree may make a higher yearly salary. The more education a medical assistant has, the more she shows her employer that she values her career and job. Overtime, medical assistants who also gain experience can expect to earn about $33,000 per year.

Need a quick insight
I need a brush(s) to wax my board, and an iron, but I don't want to spend a bunch of money. what type of brushes will be a good replacement? will any nylon brush work that is stiff? Do I need a soft brush too or does it not make a big difference? and also does the iron need to have adjusted temps? if you can answer any of these itd be a big help.

Just use a scotch brite pad after scraping. If you really want a brush, I use a hard nylon. Scrape, brush then buff. If your iron doesn't have temp adjustments it will most likely burn your wax. A cheap clothing iron with temps will work fine.

LOL! Yes you will need to get it waxed. The pre-wax it ships with wont do shit. You could get it waxed at a shop or resort. But you are better off just learning how to do it yourself if you think you will ride a lot.

You do this:
1.) Buy the yellow wax for normal winter temps. The wax tells you what temperature to set the iron at. 2.) You buy the iron as its heating up to 115 degrees you start to drip your wax evenly around the board. 3.) Once the iron is at full temp you melt it evenly everywhere in broad strokes. 4.) Then you slowly iron strips tip to tail not letting the iron sit still in one place. 5.) Let the board sit overnight. 6.) Buy a scraper and scrape all that wax off with the scraper. 7.) Take a nylon bristle brush and brush out the fine hard to see wax. Use a rag to wipe messy scrapings and brushings as you go . 8.) Shred for 3-6 days and do it all over again |

The Show Girl Talks 'Human Target,' 'Outrageous Food' & 'Raising Hope' (VIDEO)
by Maggie Furlong, posted Nov 5th 2010 10:00AM
I also chat with Tom Pizzica, 'The Next Food Network Star' runner-up who has a Big Chef-worthy new show called 'Outrageous Food.' (Does the idea of a 105-pound hamburger make anyone else a little nauseous?)
Then I stop by the set of Fox's new hit sitcom 'Raising Hope' to get some fan questions answered and uncover a big change coming. You think Jimmy can't grocery store stalk Sabrina any more than he already does? Wait until you see this.
Got questions? E-mail me TV questions at email@example.com and I'll try to get you answers on the show. -- By Maggie Furlong

Michael Mina certainly deserves it's reputation! The place is very cool, and serves the full menu in the lounge as well, which is super! The Lobster Pot Pie is crazy, go get it, and tell your friends to go and get it. The Foie Gras is buttery organy fun, and the bread is hot, crusty and good! The Hamachi was only ok, but everything else rocked! Overall, it deserved high marks, so when I saw there were none, I inserted mine, you won't be dissappointed.

Two 30W Active Studio Monitors
Product Code 66747
Our Price is too Low to advertise! Call 1-800-878-8882 to place your order.
We're sorry, this product is no longer available.
BEHRITONE C5A full-range reference studio monitors let you hear what your mixes will sound like on real-world systems such as car stereos, computers, televisions, iPod stations and other bass-challenged systems. Each 6.5" cube contains its own dedicated 30-Watt Class-D power amp and a specially designed 5-1/4" full-range speaker for crystal-clear audio reproduction. It accepts balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS cables, as well as unbalanced RCA connections, and are magnetically shielded so they won't disrupt your computer video monitors.
BEHRITONE loudspeakers are Behringer's homage to Auratone and their legendary 5C loudspeakers, which shook up the recording industry in the 1970s and '80s and remain an essential reference standard to this day. The trouble is, they are exceptionally hard to find. The original versions were passive little vinyl-clad, particle board cubes that recording engineers soon came to love. The C5A sports a classic wood-grain laminate. It is constructed of precision-milled, high-rigidity MDF for extremely low-resonance performance. A neoprene pad is included for superior acoustic isolation when the speakers are placed on a desktop, or the enclosures can be mounted on mic stands via the built-in 5/8" adapters.
Discover what world-class studio and mastering engineers have known for decades—the only way to get the truth about your mix is to hear it through these pint-sized beauties. BEHRITONE active studio monitors are the perfect complement to your current monitoring system.

Dr. Dara firstname.lastname@example.com Director, Gerontology Program Office: Shippen Hall 325 (717) 477-1969
Gerontology is an interdisciplinary undergraduate minor designed to provide students with a broad view of the aging process. It is interdisciplinary in that you will be exposed to many different topics (e.g. psychology, sociology, humanities, social work) and shown how aging relates to each. Through required course work, electives in your personal interest, applied experiences, research opportunities, and volunteer activities, you will gain a firm understanding of aging related issues that can be applied to your major field of study.
There are two primary goals of the minor. Our first goal is to provide you with up-to-date information about older adults and aging related issues that will supplement your professional training. A second goal centers on dispelling many of the myths about older people and to help you over come fears about growing old. Together, the accomplishment of these goals will assist you in making future employment opportunities more lucrative and personally satisfying
Because our older adult population is growing at an astounding rate, it is highly likely that you will encounter older people, regardless of your chosen profession. A gerontology credential can show current and/or future employers that you have what it takes to serve this group. Additionally, it is likely that you may have to deal with an important economic, political, or social issue that impacts older people. Current "hot topics" in aging include prescription drug benefits, social security, mandatory retirement ages, older workers, the impact of Alzheimer's Disease, and the mature market, to name to few. Knowledge about aging can assist you in making informed decisions about these types of issues and help you contribute to both your employer and the well being of older adults in general.
To gain practical experience working with our older population, every gerontology student engages in an internship experience. The internship is broadly defined and every effort will be will made to place you in an area that will benefit your career. For example, if you are interested in helping older adults in need, we will try to place you in a local social service agency. If your interests are more business oriented, we can set up an experience with a local business so you can learn about retirement planning, agency administration, etc. In short, we will do everything we can to give you the necessary tools you need to fulfill your personal educational goals.
In addition to the internship, the gerontology program encourages volunteer experiences with older adults in the area. You many want to visit older people in nursing homes, help solicit signatures for later-life political initiatives, deliver meals to seniors who have mobility problems, or or just sit down and talk with those who visit area senior community centers.
The gerontology minor can benefit a diverse group of professionals. For example, those interested in working with older adults (e.g. social workers, psychologists, physicians, health services); those who want to design products that can be useful to older people (e.g. financial planners, computer software/hardware engineers); or professionals concerned about issues that impact later adulthood (e.g. lawyers, political scientists, sociologists) should consider enrolling in the gerontology minor.

Laura Vandervoort Talks V

No offense to Laura or anyone one but after watching the interview it really didn't seem like she had anything relevant to say. Most of what she said seemed like something a producer would say. & it was difficult to focus with her legs & feet flopping all over the place. Its good to see though that producers are finally starting to do remakes with potential.

EVANS, HIRAM WESLEY (1881–1966). Hiram Wesley Evans, "imperial wizard" of the Ku Klux Klan, son of Hiram Martin and Georgia (Striplin) Evans, was born on September 26, 1881, in Ashland, Alabama. While he was a youth his family moved to Texas, and he graduated from high school in Hubbard. He studied dentistry at Vanderbilt University but left before obtaining a degree. He received his dentistry license in 1900 and practiced in Dallas until 1920. On February 5, 1923, he married Bam Hill; they had three children.
In 1920 Evans joined the Ku Klux Klan and devoted most of his time to its support. By 1921 he had reached the rank of "exalted cyclops" and led a group of Klansmen who forcibly removed Alex Johnson, a black bellhop, from the Adolphus Hotel and wrote "K.K.K." on his forehead with acid. The next year Evans began his climb to power within the Klan. Early in 1922, when the "Realm of Texas" was organized, Evans became a "great titan" (district leader), and several months later he was appointed "imperial kligrapp," or national secretary, by the imperial wizard, William J. Simmons. Under his leadership the Klan became involved in state and local primary elections.
Evans was imperial wizard from 1922 until 1939. Shortly before his resignation he sold the Klan's Peachtree Street Palace to the Catholic Church. He wrote several books, including The Menace of Modern Immigration (1923), The Klan of Tomorrow (1924), Alienism in the Democracy (1927), and The Rising Storm (1929). While serving as imperial wizard he dealt in emulsified asphalt for highway construction in Atlanta. The state of Georgia brought a suit against him for violating the Sherman Antitrust Act, but the suit was eventually dropped. Evans died in September 1966 in Atlanta, Georgia. He was a Democrat, a Mason, and a member of the Christian Church and the Congressional Country Club.

Penned by Dublin playwright Dermot Bolger, Tea Chests and Dreams captures the voices of thirteen women across three generations and is a poignant portrayal of what it means to feel at home. From the 1970s to modern day Ireland, the play is a celebration of generations of women as they embark on their new lives, casting aside their fears of the past and embracing a future of change. Lifting the curtain on their new life, the play has a five night run at Ballymun's culture hub, the Axis Theatre.
About the event
The play lasts for 70 minutes, with attendees feasting on a taste bud-tempting two course dinner at 6.30pm, before the curtains part at 8pm. The theatre sample menu includes Chef's pollo diavolo, and a stir fry for those who prefer a meat-free option. For those with a second stomach and enough room for desserts, a Blackforest Gateau served with cream or ice cream follows, and the meal is toasted with a glass of wine each, or a hot beverage for designated drivers.
