This month we caught up with Kate Cooper, Professor of Ancient History at the University of Manchester, who has a recent book published called The Band of Angels: The Forgotten World of Early Christian Women. You can visit her website and follow her on Twitter (@kateantiquity).
Your new book explores the 'forgotten' women of early Christianity. Why do you think that they have been airbrushed from history?
It all comes down to a sad fact of human nature. People tend to commemorate the parts of history that reflect their own concerns. For 1500 years, the Christian memory-keepers were mostly male clerics and monks, and – bless them – they wrote histories that served the institutions they worked for. Human nature hasn't changed, but the social landscape has. Now we are in a situation where many people – including the Pope! – believe that it's time to sweep away a certain complacency that has distorted Christianity. Many of us want to know more about the invisible people – not the ones who were central to the power games of institutions. We want to hear more about the quiet people who let their lives be transformed by love, which is what Christianity at its best has always been about. That's where the women come in – their stories speak to this new mood.
From your research, how prominent and integral was the role of women in the early church? How did this change over the first 500 years of Christianity?
From the very beginning, women were central. The story starts, of course, with Mary of Nazareth, and her unbelievably brave act of carrying an illegitimate child in a society where violating sexual codes could lead to a punishment of death by stoning. The New Testament shows women playing a central role in the group around Jesus, and this continues in the earliest churches, which were informal groups linked together by family and friendship networks. At the beginning there was no organized structure connecting them. Sometime in the second century, a faction began to argue that women should not play a leadership role – or at least that their role should be restricted. The anti-women faction was never entirely successful – well into the middle ages we see nuns and deaconesses doing wonderful things. But they received a major shot in the arm in the fourth century, when the Emperor Constantine decided to re-organize the churches and give the leaders a role in local government. Only men could serve in these re-styled leadership roles, since only men could be elected to public office under Roman custom. Women continued in the ancient role of deacon, and this could be quite a powerful role, but the changing role of priests and bishops created a new dynamic. It was a turning point.
Who do you think was the most influential woman in the 'band of angels' in the early church? Which female had the most formative influence over the rise of Christianity?
I've already mentioned Mary of Nazareth, but another figure who was terribly important was Mary Magdalene. The idea that she was a repentant prostitute is actually a medieval legend invented by Gregory the Great at the end of the sixth century. But the real Mary Magdalene was one of the disciples closest to Jesus. The second-century Gospel of Mary remembers an argument among the disciples about whether the Church should accept the teachings which Jesus gave to Mary in private, as a special sign of his faith in her. Naturally, the Apostle Peter was remembered as arguing that no one should believe a woman! Many people believe the Gospel of Mary was a heretical text, but it was never condemned as such – it seems simply to be an alternative point of view, from a period when Christianity was very diverse.
Why were women attracted to Christianity? What did it offer them that society and wider culture did not?
The early Christian emphasis on generosity of spirit was a rare and precious thing in an ancient patriarchal society. For women, it was inspiring to be part of a group that proclaimed that even the weakest member of the group had the same importance as the strongest. In ancient village communities, women had responsibility for children, the elderly, and the sick – how could they not love a teacher who valued this demanding and often thankless work?
Nowadays, many accuse Christianity of being a patriarchal religion. Do you think that this is a fair assumption after researching the roots of this religion?
Christianity came into the world in a Middle Eastern society that was obsessed with male honour, so it would be surprising if it carried no baggage as a result. But from the very beginning, Jesus preached the equality of all people. Some people aren't aware that modern feminism is the brain-child of nineteenth-century Christian women who wanted to bring Christianity back to its core values – feminism has its roots in nineteenth-century Christian radicalism alongside the movement to abolish slavery. There have been inspiring and radical women in every century, and we need to hear more about them. It seems crazy to turn our back on the amazing tradition of women's Christianity just because some powerful men in the movement have misbehaved – Christianity has not been the only movement in history to suffer from that particular problem.
Do you feel that your research supports the contemporary argument for women bishops in the Church of England?
Yes, because it shows that the arguments about male headship are not part of the core of Christianity – they come from a second phase, which lasted from the second to twelfth century, in which the medieval institutional structure emerged. But the male-orientated institutional take-over didn't succeed in keeping women from playing a central role – it just meant that they received less recognition.
It also shows that the current feeling that the Church of England is out of touch with its membership is nothing new. Historically, the institution has often been out of touch with the values and needs of the faithful, so there always has to be a cycle of reform and renewal.
What were the challenges that you faced when writing this book?
The real difficulty was in writing beautifully, not boringly! Often, I had to read between the lines of the ancient writers, drawing on decades of study to see what a first- or second-century person was getting at. Sometimes that makes a huge difference. It's not so difficult, if you're a trained historian – it's fascinating, like putting together the clues of a murder mystery. The real difficulty is in helping the reader to see what you see, without getting bogged down in the details. I had to write draft after draft!
We are fascinated by Chloe of Corinth who Paul mentioned in 1 Corinthians 1. How far is it acceptable to speculate about her, and her position, in the early church? Where are the barriers when expanding on Biblical texts?
She is a woman of mystery, isn't she? When we meet an elusive figure like Chloe, we have to think hard. It's not so much a matter of speculating as making sure we consider all the possibilities. Often, it's refreshing to pay special attention to the possibility that seems most unlikely. In the case of Chloe, there are two main possibilities. The apostle Paul says in his letter that some Christians 'from Chloe's household' have been complaining about what is going on in Corinth. I really sounds as if Paul was angry with Chloe. He mentions her without sending a greeting and a word of praise, which would be quite an insult if she was the leader of a house-church. But it is also possible that Chloe wasn't Christian at all – she was a woman of means, and the Christians in her household may actually have been her slaves – in ancient Greek talking about someone's 'household' can be short-hand for the slaves they own. She was the owner of Paul's friends, not the head of their church, then his talking about her behind her back is not nearly so insulting.
And lastly, which early Christian woman inspired you the most and why?
It has to be Thecla. According to a second-century legend, she was a thirteen-year-old girl who was inspired by the Apostle Paul's preaching and decided to cut off her hair and dress as a young man in order to join his disciples. At first, Paul discouraged her, but she was so dedicated to the faith that she literally walked through fire to prove her devotion. The ancient tale of Paul and Thecla is really quite alarming – it goes on and on about the ordeals Thecla had to face to prove herself. Finally, at the end of the story, Paul sends her off on as a missionary on her own, charging her to 'Go, and Preach the Word of God!' Not only was Thecla incredibly plucky, but she was able to stand up to the Apostle Paul! It's not certain that she actually existed, but she was a much-loved saint in the ancient churches, and she is still revered as one of the Apostles by the orthodox churches.
There is a raft of evidence to suggest that even in the most conservative families young women were routinely encouraged to follow Thecla's example – more than one of the great early bishops had a sister named after her. I just love the fact that being a 'good girl' in early Christianity meant striking out on your own and talking back to male authority figures!

T-Mobile US on Wednesday posted first-quarter financial results for the pre-merger T-Mobile USA, which saw earnings and revenue continue to slide. Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 billion was down more than 7% from the first quarter last year, and revenue sank 7% to $4.7 billion. The carrier finished the March quarter with approximately 34 million subscribers, an increase of about 579,000 customers. T-Mobile added 3,000 net branded subscribers but it lost 199,000 net postpaid customers in the quarter.
[More from BGR: Google Glass is no iPad]
"Our first quarter operating metrics and financial results are showing positive impact from the changes we began making in the fourth quarter. Branded customer net additions turned positive for the first time since the first quarter of 2009 and our postpaid business has demonstrated significant improvement," said T-Mobile CEO John Legere. "We ended the quarter with strong operational momentum, which is continuing into the second quarter, driven by the successful launch of our Un-carrier 'Simple Choice' service plan and the introduction of the iPhone into our device line-up. Things only get more exciting from here, having brought T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS together to create the wireless industry's value leader and premier challenger."

Yesterday we joined an eye-opening tour along Jerusalem Boulevard (sderot yerushalayim) in Yaffo. The photo above will give you an idea of what it looked like in the 1930s under the British Mandate when most of its population was Palestinian.
This will give you an idea of what it looks like today.
Sderot Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Boulevard) started life as Jamal Pasha Boulevard after the Ottomon ruler of Syria and Palestine. In 1914 Jamal appointed Hassan Bek to run Yaffo. In the spirit of the Young Turks, the latter set about adapting the ancient city to the modern age. Work started on Jamal Pasha Boulevard in 1915. It was designed by a Jewish engineer from Haifa and the Turks were so pleased with the results that they asked him to design a similar boulevard in Damascus. The new boulevard, planted with Washington palms cultivated in the Mikveh Yisrael agricultural school (another Jewish connection), started at the Manshiyeh neighbourhood (now Charles Clore Park) and cut eastwards through the citrus groves ending abruptly in the middle of nowhere. This was happening at the same time that Jewish Ahuzat Bayit, sooon to be Tel Aviv, founded in 1909, was also beginning to develop to the north.
The idea behind the boulevard was to create the central axis of a new modern urban centre, and it worked. Under the British Mandate in the 1930s and 40's, Jamal Pasha Boulevard, by now dubbed King George V Boulevard, was a thriving commercial and cultural hub, with 5 cinemas, restaurants , cafes and public buildings. After most of Yaffo's Arabs fled in the 1948 war, many of their houses were occupied by new Jewish arrivals from Bulgaria. Thus in the 1950s and '60s the boulevard was transformed into Little Sophia', a bustling centre for the Bulgarian community which, among other things, had its own nationally famous Zadikov choir and its own football club - Maccabi Yaffo. Modern Socialist type residential blocks were built between the Arab buildings to house them.
Conservation architect, Amnon Bar Or and his team of students recently held a fascinating exhibition on Jerusalem Boulevard with the aim of finally bringing some attention to this neglected treasure and to restore it to some of its former glory. Since that also means paying some attention to the Palestinian built heritage of Tel Aviv-Yaffo, the exhibition attracted some political flack from the right.
It was called The First Boulevard. Click on the dots along the way to see the names of each building (in English too) and access photos and documentation (mainly in Hebrew meanwhile).
On the side of no 6 you can still make out the outlet of the 'Spinneys' sign . Spinneys was established by an expatriate Brit living in Alexandria who made a deal with the British Army to provide food and refreshments for the troops. They now own hypermarkets throughout the Middle East.
This was the splendid Alhambra cinema which showed films and held performances. The famed Egyptian songstress Oum Khoultoum wowed crowds here more than once on her way from Alexandria to more shows in Beirut; a tour that would be impossible today.
A shadow of its former self today, the Alhambra is is shrouded in green in preparation for its conversion to - a Scientology centre.
Along the way, various architectural styles can be detected behind the decades of neglect, grime and all sorts of ugly additions: traditional Palestinian, Art Deco, International, faux Oriental, Israeli socialist etc.
Here and there, the first signs of gentrication are appearing but it will take a new planning approach if Jamal Pasha/King George/Jerusalem boulevard is to be given the respect it deserves. As things stand a high speed above ground light railway is planned to divide one side of the boulevard from the other....

I'm in Houston at the moment, training with Nasa for a mission to the International Space Station. I'll be blasting off in 2015! Before I saw this film, about two astronauts on a not entirely dissimilar mission, my friends warned me not to take it too seriously – since the astronauts end up floating in space. So I took their advice and loved it.
I found the scene where Sandra Bullock flips out of her spacesuit in a couple of seconds very amusing. Anyone who's ever worn one knows that's impossible: it takes about three minutes just to wriggle into the upper torso section. And as for what she's wearing underneath: well, we certainly don't wear anything that sexy! We're in long-johns, a cooling suit covered in narrow tubes filled with water, and a nappy – since a spacewalk usually lasts around eight hours and you have to stay well-hydrated. But showing Bullock in a nappy probably wouldn't sell so many tickets.
It's unlikely, too, that her character, an engineer sent to attach some device to the Hubble telescope, would be on a spacewalk after just six months of training. You can certainly go into space then: Sarah Brightman, for instance, is coming with us in 2015, and will have notched up that amount of time. But at that level, you're very much a space tourist rather than a fully fledged astronaut.
The shuttle that Bullock and veteran spaceman George Clooney use to get to the ISS has actually been retired: the only vehicle we have to get there and back today is the Russian Soyuz rocket. The film does capture the essence of what it's like to be in zero gravity, though: how difficult it is to move; how you have to struggle to stop yourself from just rotating endlessly. And the vistas of Earth and space are stunning, very much like the movies you can see on YouTube made of time-lapse photographs taken from the ISS.
None of the astronauts I know have been put off going into space by seeing Gravity. We all know the risks. And the real dangers can be much worse: my spacemate Luca Parmitano had his helmet fill up with water while on a spacewalk. It was just about the worst disaster Nasa had ever had at the ISS. Like Clooney, you do have to keep a cool head when you go out into space. You never know what might happen.

...we are experiencing technical difficulties.
Ed, my husband, in all his great wisdom this morning said, "It's like you're gay and in the closet. Except you're depressed and are afraid to tell anyone."
But how full of myself am I, that I'm not only a painter, but an artist, and a depressed one at that.
"I am very depressed and deeply disgusted with painting. It is really a continual torture." (Claude Monet)
The past few weeks have been exhausting on both myself and my family. I feel every bad thing in the whole world then nothing at all.
"I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top." (John Keats)
I slug around, moping and sleepy and can barely do a single thing in one day.
"Every act of life, from the morning toothbrush to the friend at dinner, became an effort. I hated the night when I couldn't sleep and I hated the day because it went toward night." (F. Scott Fitzgerald)
I struggle to express what's going on in my head only to mumble a bit and...
"To have gone to all this trouble to get to this is just too stupid! Outside there's brilliant sunshine but I don't feel up to looking at it..." (Claude Monet)
If I were to look at me from the outside, I'd kick myself in the arse and go shopping instead.
"What's the use? The people are too stupid. They do not understand." (Winslow Homer)
I am taking my life moment by moment. I do not know what I will eat for dinner tonight. I don't even know IF I will eat. I'm not even clear on what I'm doing now. I got up today and that's about the best I can offer you right now.
"Keep painting your demons." (Jack Beal)

Die Antwoord
Culture Room, Ft. Lauderdale
October 22, 2012
Better Than: 99.9% of live music events.
Ostensibly, Die Antwoord is weird. As far as you or I can tell -- with our normal (and/or normally-hip) lifestyles -- they are a pair of entertainers that are fucked up, strange and/or wholly personify "the Other." But on a layer one degree deeper -- a subtext that has as much to do with irony as it does LARPing -- the duo has simply mastered Branding in the 2012/hashtag sense of the term.

- PHOTOS: Die Antwoord at Culture Room
And judging from their sold-out show at Culture Room last night, Die Antwoord's meme-ry is being heard loud and clear. Our spacephone told us it was Monday. But everyone in attendance existed outside of iCal as they became increasingly entranced by the fully exposed vulgar true power of the Internet, beamed directly into their consciousness a la Jim Carrey as the Riddler in Batman Forever.
There's nothing quite like catching a band at the peak of their initial Zeitgeist. In this crucially sweet zone of Killing It, audience and performer are almost always able to engage in the ultimate entertainer/entertainee platonic-love feedback loop. That raucous energy that produces the group experience of shoulder-to-shoulder twenty-somethings flailing wildly, shaking their heads back-and-forth into a blur, unfurled tongues reeking of well drinks dangling like tentacles outside of their mouths.
Which is how most of the crowd danced, at a frenetic pace, for the entirety of the set.

Anyone who wasn't busting a weird-ass groove was staring slackjawed at the spectacle onstage. MCs Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er may have very well exhibited the best presence we've seen in 2012. While the live show utilized a tasteful application of gimmickry -- projections reinforcing the group's iconography, a masked DJ, wardrobe changes, and a giant inflatable ghost with an erection -- the centerpiece was the two humanoids putting the physicality of military basic training into their vocal delivery and nonstop full throttle dancing, gyrating, swagging, and all-around knock-the-wind-out-of-you freaking the fuck out.
And hey, all novelty and bombast aside, these two can rap! It seemed like Yo-Landi had some back-up support for some of the humanly-impossible, high-pitched vocals. But generally both members of Die Antwoord pumped air in and out of their lungs like hip-surreal steam engines. Their flow recalled the speedy slicework of rappers like Krayzie Bone, and their physical dialogue with the audience recalled the highest energy qualities of hip-hop hype men and hardcore punk vocalists. Vi$$er was particularly entertaining as her diminutive size and chipmunk voice are even more startling in person.
After a nonstop, jam-after-jam marathon, the set formally climaxed with an encore performance of the group's breakthrough hit, "Enter The Ninja." But after slapping us silly with a barrage of e-music banging and mutant toasting/rapping, the song that kicked off the Die Antwoord story seemed a little hoky and contrived. The highlight of the night for us was an extended, extra bass-heavy rendition of "I Fink You Freeky," which -- with its inarguably impeccable minimal techno production and Yo-Landi's hypnotizing hook -- is definitely the group's strongest, most coherent single to date.
The members of Die Antwoord are the visual and tangible embodiment of their music: Various strains of American (techno, brostep) and British (drum'n'bass, gabber, grime) electronic music weaved together through post-apartheid South African ghetto-fab youth culture (a.k.a. Zef), incubated on the Internet, and brought to life on stage for a buying public who definitely gets their money's worth in spectacle.
You may find their aesthetic alienating in its seemingly arbitrary-scumminess. And, even further, you can drag out a few more-than-dead horses and beat them with lazy and/or conservative accusations of irony or overconstructedness. But you can't deny this pair of freaks is a part of and contributing to something genuinely new.
Critic's Notebook
The Crowd: Hot Topic-y Browardians, nerds, internet dorks, blog geeks, hipster Juggalos, swagged-out fucked-up post-colonial suburban b-boys and their neon-core dreadlock'd hip-goth-hop shawties, a girl with a teeny tiny widdle top hat, a person wearing a Spider-Man bodysuit, young adults raised by AOL promo installation discs, norms, people dressed like it was Halloween and their costume was a mean-spirited parody of a hipster, people dressed like Die Antwoord.
From The Crowd: "This shit is Zef as fuck!"
From The Stage: Total incomprehensible gibberish.

|Highlands Links 2nd Hole
This by far is the most unusual of Thompson's routings, and it is why this is one of the most enjoyable experiences in golf. When Stanley surveyed the property on foot, he must have recognised how unique each area of the golf course was going to be. After he had finalised his routing, whether intended or intuitive, he made a decision of shear genius. He separated each unique area with a long walk. So why was this important? This makes the course unfold like a series of chapters from a great book, each chapter (or set of holes) has its own unique setting. When combined together it makes for wonderful journey through the local landscape.
|Highlands Links 7th Hole
After the sixth green, the hole that plays along the ocean, Stanley takes you inland on a long walk to relax and enjoy the river valley as you enter the forested highlands (first change of pace and setting). The trees and mountains now dominate the setting of the course, and the player has to adjust to a more secluded and intimate setting. The holes are now fully framed by trees and mountains, with the tee shot on the 7th being intentional tight and tough to offer a complete contrast to the previous holes. Stanley does a wonderful job of creating an exciting stretch of holes while still maintaining a walkable course through this tough terrain. This stretch continues through to the tenth green.
|Highlands Links 11th Hole
|Highlands Links 15th Hole
Holes 16 to 18 do not have a view to the ocean, although, I can't help but wonder if the ocean was clearly visible on the right of the 18th hole. The final stretch is a return to the darker evergreens similar to the opening holes, here Stanley had designed a series of friendly holes to give players an opportunity to make a par. Stanley was always cognisant of resort play and making the courses enjoyable for the average player. I think he felt after such a long journey, making a par in the final stretch would be a great way to finish the round.

I didn't understand the value of a battery backup until the power when out and my computer went down with it. When the power came back on, my computer did the blue screen crashing and I lost the work that I was in the middle of. I called Trusty Techs and Dave got my pc fixed up and back to normal. Then, he suggested that I have a battery backup installed to prevent this from happening again. So I had him install one. Not even a few days later, Brunswick Electric crapped out again and all the light went out, except my computer stayed on this time, so I didn't lose any of my work!! Very happy with the suggestion and I'm happy that Dave's expertise prevented my data loss!!

Irvine, Calif. -
Nick Posthuma and Kevin Venegas scored first-half goals and freshman goalkeeper Bryan Escalante came up huge in his first collegiate start Wednesday night as No. 4-seeded Cal State Fullerton shocked host and No. 1-seed UC Irvine, 2-1, in the semifinals of the Big West Conference post-season tournament.
Fullerton (7-11-2), which lost to UCI (14-3-3), 7-2 and 3-1 earlier this season, will play at No.2 seeded UC Santa Barbara on Saturday at 7 p.m. for an automatic NCAA Tournament berth. UCSB beat No. 3 Cal Poly, 2-1, in overtime.
Fullerton beat No. 8-ranked UCI for only the second time in the last 20 meetings to even the all-time series at 18-18-6.
"The biggest thing tonight was attitude," said CSF Head Coach Bob Ammann. "We were able to put behind us all the bad things that happened to us this season. As soon as we clinched the tournament berth, we said this was a new season and everyone was 0-0. I couldn't be more pleased for the boys."
"I wasn't at practice Monday because I was sick, but I got a call that Trevor (Whiddon) got hurt in practice," said Escalante, who had played a total of 8 minutes all season. "I've been ready all season. We started communicating from minute one and my teammates were responding. We were a composed team."
Fullerton's first shot of the match produced a goal. Michael Denny whistled a pass to a streaking Jonathan Birt angling in from the right side. Birt accepted the ball in full stride and crossed it to Posthuma, who found the lower right corner for his team-leading ninth goal of the season.
The Titans' second shot had the same result. Oscar Aguero came up with a loose ball on the left side, dribbled toward the middle and fed Venegas, who drilled his seventh goal of the year for a 2-0 lead.
"I saw a spot to run to and he (Aguero) saw me and we made eye contact," said Venegas of his fourth game-winning goal of the season. "I found a spot in the net."
Zach Olow got the Anteaters on the board in the 78th minute with an unassisted goal from a steep angle on the left side to the far post. UCI's best chance to tie came about 6 minutes later when leading scorer Amani Walker made a rush but Escalante came out of the box to smother the ball before Walker could take a shot.
Escalante finished with 8 saves to 3 for UCI's Andrew Fontein. Fullerton was outshot, 18-8, including 10-2 in the first half. UCI had 7 cornerkicks to 2 for Fullerton.

Belgians Are Flooding Twitter With Pictures Of Cats. Here's Why…
In response to the recent deadly Paris attacks, the Belgian police had a particularly interesting idea for how to maintain a heightened security level: an operation called #BrusselsLockdown. The idea was to create a social media blackout surrounding the work the police were doing, and they asked the general public not to tweet about it.
Instead of simply not tweeting about the lockdown, enterprising Belgians had a different idea: Instead of tweeting about the lockdown, they flooded the tag with pictures of their cats. Below is what might amount to the largest collection of Belgian cats in Internet history. That last one is simply the best.

Why FAKE is BETTER
kayla leppelman
Why FAKE is BETTER
...or at least when it comes to wearing silk flowers in your hair rather than real.
Listen, I'm all for the organic, real, beautiful blooms-in fact, I LOVE them and of course prefer them to silk BUT when it comes to wearing flowers, there are some things you should consider.
You know those freshly done floral hairstyles we pin so often on Pinterest? Here's the thing, most of those photos where taken during a styled shoot OR while the bride is getting ready. Most real flowers wilt SO quickly when they aren't in water and wearing vials of it in your hair just isn't cute or practical with all the dancing and celebrating you'll be doing or what about that dipped kiss once you say your vows? Water falling out of your hair just...well...you get the picture.
I've also talked to so many florists about this same topic and they would absolutely agree that WEARING SILK and/or PRESERVED flowers & greenery in your hair will actually hold up better during your entire wedding day and well after!
I've even had several brides wear their crowns and combs on their honeymoons as well their baby showers, family photos and even birthdays!
These adornments are carefully created to last even as an heirlooms! How stinkin' cute would it be for your daughter to wear your Floral Crown in the future?!

Published: 1st June 2017 (HQ)
'Brilliant' – Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project
The story of a lost girl searching for her forever home.
Everyone tells Ginny that she should feel happy.
After years in foster care, fourteen year old Ginny is finally with parents who will love her. Yet despite finding her forever family, she knows she will never stop crafting her Big Secret Plan of Escape.
Because something heart-breaking happened a long time ago something that only Ginny knows and nothing will stop her going back to put it right
A fiercely poignant, inspirational story of a lost girl making sense of a world that just doesn't seem to add up Ginny Moon will change everyone who spends time with her.
Pre-order your copy over at Amazon UK
Ginny is fourteen, on the autistic spectrum and has been in care since she was removed from her mother's care at the age of nine for her own safety. Ginny has been adopted and finally in her forever home. However, something is still bothering Ginny about her time with her birth mother, something that she feels she has left behind and is in danger so despite having been adopted and in a safe family unit, she is desperate to get in touch with her Mum to check everything is fine.
Ginny Moon is told entirely from Ginny's perspective which gives this book a unique voice. Given the narrative voice and style, there are obviously conversations and events that the reader is not privy to (as Ginny isn't) but this adds to Ginny's plight. Ludwig provides us with an insight into how an autistic mind can work, showing Ginny's siloed view on the world. Her determination to get to her mum is astounding, the book kept me on edge a little as i knew that when one of Ginny's plans fail, she's just hatching up the next one! Being a parent myself, I found it difficult to read about the dangerous situations that Ginny was unwittingly putting herself in through her naivety – I wanted to scoop her up, listen to her and help her with her concerns.
Whilst I loved Ginny, I was frustrated, and a little angry, with how Ginny's adoptive mother treated her once their baby was born – it was as if she changed over night and wasn't prepared to listen to Ginny, give her the benefit of the doubt or read between the lines based on her behaviour. Ginny's adoptive father was lovely, I warmed to him as he was trying to balance everything out and whilst at times he was near the end of his tether (as I'm sure many parents can sympathise) he is very loving and caring towards Ginny.
Ginny Moon is an enjoyable, unique read with a lovely main character who is fighting for what she believes is right – even though it constantly puts her in danger and gets her in trouble! I loved Ginny!
A life-long teacher of English and writing, Benjamin Ludwig lives in New Hampshire with his family. He holds an MAT in English Education and an MFA in Writing. Shortly after he and his wife married they became foster parents and adopted a teenager with autism. Ginny Moon is his first novel, which was inspired in part by his conversations with other parents at Special Olympics basketball practices.

'Twas the night before Christmas
Throughout the trailer park
No sounds could be heard
Not even a bark
Empty beer cans were stacked
By the outhouse door
In hopes that Uncle Rick
Would soon bring some more
The children were nestled
In their cardboard beds
While their parents were passed out
From the booze in their heads
When out from the night
There arose such a clatter
I sprang from my sleep
To see what was the matter
I went to the window
And wiped off the crud
When out in the yard
I heard a great thud
I saw an old pickup truck
With deer on the hood
Uncle Rick had arrived
Like I knew he would
In a stupor he stumbled
And cursed in the night
Dragging a bag full of beer
An unforgettable sight
With a friggin' and a MoFo
And a dammit to hell
He somehow slipped
And fell down the well
And though the morning came
Like a steaming hot turd
I still can remember
Uncle Ricky's last words
"This holiday sucks
And my life is a fight,
Merry Christmas my ass
And my ass you can bite!"
So here we are once again, The Holiday Season; Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. And once again we find ourselves saying, "Where the hell did the year go?" It goes by so fast and even faster as we get older. But for a brief period in time, the world is more wonderful than usual, cheerier and friendlier. We wish we could be kids again and still believed in Santa Claus and all the wonder of that feeling and still love the sight of a new snowfall. But as we get older, snowstorms are our mortal enemy, especially when you drive for a living and the only thing that really creates that sense of wonderment of Saint Nick is having children of our own and to live everything through their eyes.
My children are older now and although I still love the holidays tremendously with all of the family together it is a tad bittersweet knowing that another year has gone by. I guess I won't have that childlike feeling again until I am a grandparent someday… but I am not quite ready for that just yet. For now, I will just enjoy the way it is, be thankful that everyone is still alive and healthy and trod outside to shovel that white stuff until my hands are frostbitten. When I am finished doing that and stand back to admire the job I did, the plow will come by and block me in once again and I will find myself saying the beautiful colorful things my dad would say in those situations or maybe even make up a few new words of my own.
Either way, be thankful, be happy and cherish the ones around you because that is what truly makes the holiday season what it is…A magic time in our lives.
Happy Holidays and thanks for reading from, THE COMEDY TORNADO!!

A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Chang Chih-tung
35Chang Chih-tung 張之洞 (T. 香壽. H. 無競居士 and 廣雅尙書). Born A.D. 1835. A native of the 南皮 Nan-p'i District in Chihli. He graduated as chin shih in 1863, taking the third place on the list. Appointed Literary Chancellor for Ssǔch'uan in 1873, he distinguished himself by his zeal for the encouragement of learning, for which he is still gratefully remembered by the people. He became Sub-Reader of the Han-lin in 1880, and secretary in the Grand Secretariat in 1881. In 1882, on the strength of his valuable memorials relating to the Shansi famine, he was made Governor of Shansi. In 1884, he became Viceroy of the Two Kuang, and in 1889 he was transferred to the Viceroyalty of Hu-Kuang, ostensibly to carry out his own scheme of a railway to unite Wu-ch'ang and Hankow with Peking. There he started iron-works, cotton-spinning factories, and scientific coal-mining on a large scale. In 1894 he was transferred to the Viceroyalty of the Two Kiang, from which he was retransferred to his old post in 1895. A fine scholar, Chang Chih-tung has earned considerable reputation by his brilliantly written State papers, especially by the famous anti-Russian memorial presented secretly to the Throne in 1880. He has of course made many enemies, and in 1893 he was violently impeached by the chief Director of the Grand Court of Revision on many counts, such as squandering public money on mines, causing disturbances in the province of Hunan by an attempt to introduce the telegraph, and generally indulging in wild schemes which were never more than half carried out. The only credit allowed to him was for founding a College and Library for the benefit of poor scholars and the encouragement of literature. By foreigners however he is regarded, if not exactly as a friend, at any rate as an honest and straightforward patriot.

HP Reveals WebOS Open-Source Timeline
Hewlett-Packard on Wednesday unveiled a timetable for the outsourcing of webOS, which it hopes to complete by September.
HP also released version 2.0 of Enyo, the application framework for webOS.
WebOS code will be made available under the Apache License, Version 2.0, starting with the Enyo source code, which was released today. More details are available on the webOS developer blog.
"HP is bringing the innovation of the webOS platform to the open source community," Bill Veghte, executive vice president and chief strategy officer at HP, said in a statement. "This is a decisive step toward meeting our goal of accelerating the platform's development and ensuring that its benefits will be delivered to the entire ecosystem of web applications."
HP posted a chart (below) of expected milestones over the next few months, which will culminate with the expected September release of Open webOS 1.0.
After months of speculation, HP announced in December that it would open-source webOS instead of selling the platform to the highest bidder. The company said it will "continue to be active in the development and support of webOS," but handing it over to the open-source community will help improve applications and Web services for next-generation devices.
The fate of the well-received but beleaguered mobile operating system has been up in the air since August, when HP announced plans to ditch support for webOS-based devices like the HP TouchPad tablet, as well as its PC business.
When Meg Whitman came onboard as CEO, however, she reversed course and said HP would retain its PC business. During a conference call about that decision, Whitman said in analyzing its Personal Systems Group (PSG), HP explored whether webOS was tied to PSG and "the answer to that is actually no," Whitman said. HP needed a "more holistic experience around webOS," she said at the time.
The question then became, will HP keep webOS, sell it, or release it to open source? In pondering possible buyers for webOS back in August, PCMag's Jamie Lendino said the open-source option was his favorite.
"HP indicated it's already thinking of powering some printers and car tech systems with webOS. That wouldn't be open-source, but it's the kind of thing you do with an open-source OS. Why not let others do the same?" Lendino wrote. "WebOS is infinitely more usable than OpenMoko ever was. And we all know by now that while Android itself is open-source, it really isn't by the time carriers and phone vendors are done with it. It's also mired in patent licensing issues that do end up costing vendors real money."
When HP decided to open source, Lendino said it was "cause for celebration, at least for the enthusiast, developer, and phone hacker crowd." For more, see HP Makes WebOS Immortal.

We Welcome Your Feedback If you have a question, concern, or complaint about the care you received from your nurses, nursing supervisor, or the doctor at your healthcare facility, you have the right to express your concerns and to expect a prompt response. At Nix Health, we welcome and value your feedback. When you have an issue at one of our facilities, there are certain steps you can take: Let a staff member know about your concern- Please remember that, in nearly every case, a complaint can be handled right away but we must first know about the problem in order to take the necessary steps towards rectifying the issue. If we can make anything better for you, let your nurse or other hospital caregiver know as soon as possible. Initiate the grievance process- In the rare instance that a staff member is not able to assist you, you can begin the grievance process. After speaking with an administrator, typically you will receive a response within seven to ten days of your report. File a complaint with the Texas Department of State Health Services- If the hospital is unable to address your concerns or complaint, you may begin the process of filing a complaint with the Texas Department of State Health Services for further assistance. File a complaint against a DNV accredited hospital- Another option for those with concerns, issues, or complaints regarding their healthcare service is to file a complaint against a DNV accredited hospital. Contact us for more information. Ability to report anonymously- This allows you to file a report through the PMH corporate compliance hotline. They can be reached at (844) 763-8442, or https://prospect.ethicspoint.com. It's important to note that the hospital in question will not retaliate against you in any way for filing a complaint. To learn more about filing a complaint, or for help with any other concerns, contact us today. To reach our patient advocate personnel please call (210) 579-3102.

News: Impress Japan Camera Manufacturer Interviews
Impress Japan had an interview with many of the Japanese camera manufacturers and I thought I'd talk about that with some opinion included. As also seen here, here, and here. My news and opinion in video format on Youtube: The full interview in Japanese: https://www.impressjapan.jp/pr/monitor/1112_dcm/271201_free.pdf Companies in the interview: Pentax, Ricoh, Canon Fujifilm, Nikon, Sigma, and Sony. Points of interest: Olympus: Eventual E-5 SLR replacement. Canon: Interested in small cameras, … Continue reading

Japanese Gardens Photos
I used the Pentax K-7 with a 14mm f2.8 and 85mm f1.4 lens. You can probably see the stark contrast between shots as field of view and depth of field attributes are so different between the two lenses. I also tried some fast and slow shutter speed control with water features, which was fun. Seeing as tripods are not allowed there, I just put my camera on my camera bag … Continue reading
Open Letter to Ricoh
As I'm a believer in going to the source to make sure things go well, I just sent a general inquiry email to Ricoh Japan. For people who are actually good at Japanese, pardon my low quality letter. I think it good enough to get my point across though. If you see odd squares and such below in my letter to Ricoh, that means your computer can't display Japanese because … Continue reading

Pentax At It Again (Colored Cameras)
This is of course a Japan exclusive, but it was recently announced that Pentax will be coming out with even more color combinations for their entry level camera, the K-r. Here is the press-release in Japanese: http://www.pentax.jp/japan/news/announce/20110420.html What I find most interesting here is that two of the cameras would be pretty decent in field situations as they would naturally fit within the surroundings. Especially the brown and camouflage one … Continue reading
Photography in Videos
I'm a fan of something called Anime (Japanese Animation). While many people in western cultures feel that animation is only for children, in Japan they have broadened the scope of animated films and videos. A large section of Anime is geared toward adult audiences. What brings me to this topic today is an Anime called "Flag," which I just recently picked up. It's a 13 episode series on 4 DVDs … Continue reading

***Apologies to those that received an unfinished version of this post earlier today. My son was playing around on my computer and I had my account open and somehow he hit the "publish" button. (Note to self: lock the office door when I am not around, to avoid nervous breakdown and desire to strangle child)***
I can't believe we are this close to the end of year! We have now officially been living in Australia for just over 1 year and my husband and son are starting to jive with the culture and seem a little less out-of-place.
A few weeks back we took a trip to Sydney.
Our first stop was my Holistic dentist where I had my last two mercury fillings removed. Not the most fun thing to do, nor was it as bad as I had anticipated. An excellent practice, incredible staff and safely getting rid of those toxins once and for all, made for an all-out pretty pleasant day and they we're done in under an hour – impressive!
Next stop was our hotel in Double Bay.
One of the most affluent suburbs (often referred to as Double 'Pay'), it is also an incredibly beautiful place with designer shopping, quaint cafes and bars, located (as is indicated by its name) in a bay on Sydney Harbour.
It's only a short train or ferry ride into the city (great for kids) – for those of us not wanting to pay Sydney's $50+/day parking fees. (That would be me.)
Even as a former Sydney-sider, I delight in taking friends and family members on a ferry ride on the Harbour. There is something completely magical about it. I have lived in a number of places over my lifetime and so many of them have that "special something". Sydney's "special something" is its Harbour.
As we boarded our ferry along with the business people on their way to work, I wondered how great it would be to sit outdoors in the sunshine with the sea-air blowing in your hair as you traveled your mode of 'public transport' to work – not too shabby!
We then took in some of the sites of Sydney and had a blast, I highly recommend spending time in your "home" city as a tourist. Stay at a hotel, see all the sites and you may be surprised at how cool it is and what's on offer!
We started by wandering down "The Rocks" area, it's on the edge of the Harbour, full of historic buildings, Australian artifacts, tourist shops, artwork etc. I love the rocks, its quaint and historical.
Next we watched an aboriginal play a didgeridoo on the foreshores of the Quay. (HA!) This guy is about as "authentically aboriginal" as I am.
I'm not saying he doesn't have aboriginal heritage, but I promise you, he goes home to his big screen TV, and judging from his pecs, he eats plenty of McDonalds and drives his 4wd to 'work' everyday.
But, the tourists love it. (As did my son and husband. I just snorted in disgust and took photos for my blog. Note the gold rimmed glasses. My husband named him "Kanye Dundee" )
We took a walk to Darling Harbour (about 25 minutes walk from Circular Quay – where the Sydney Harbour Bridge is located), and discovered a cool playground with a mammoth climbing structure (amongst other things), that my husband declared. would never exist in any playground in America.
His reasoning? "It's a lawsuit waiting to happen". We wouldn't sue here, we'd just brush little Billy off after his fall and tell him he's "fine", and to "stop complaining, you're scaring the other kids."
Regardless, it proved hugely popular with the kids, including ours who in this photo is perched on the top left.
Next to the playground was a water park that had an awesome array of lessons. How water works, ways to pump, divert, spray and more. It was the perfect place on a warm summers afternoon and we spent hours there.
The afternoon had worn on and we left the water park behind.
On our way out of Darling Harbour we saw Santa trying to escape the city unnoticed.
We decided to walk back down to the Circular Quay (where the Harbour bridge and ferries are located) to eat. On our way we passed a floating Sunglasses Hut store, my husband thought it was ingenious.
And motorbike parking that was markedly cheaper parking (reason to own a motorbike when living in the city).
We grabbed a quick dinner at Mad Mex, a place my husband had been dying to visit since we moved to Australia. It had rave reviews as fast food Mexican, and as we haven't found any decent Mexican in Australia ( I don't think Mexican restaurants even existed here when I left to move overseas in 2000), he was desperate.
It was as good as he hoped it would be and their frozen margaritas were as authentic as any we've ever had. The most spectacular thing was the Corona beer bottle chandelier, something we had never seen before, but a totally cool idea!
We decided to put an end to the day and caught the train back to the hotel, much to our 7-year-olds delight.
All in all, we had a fun day, and after a good nights sleep, we took on the city again the next day!
While I was on my SIBL (Self-imposed Blog Leave), my all-time favorite red-haired blogger (C'mon Carrie, don't be thinking you're the only red haired blogger, their must be plenty!) had a surprise waiting for me when I returned. A blog award!
Anyone who knows me, knows I'm pretty un-talented. I'm not good at much of anything, which has resulted in a gaping empty space in my awards cabinet (What? It's weird to buy and awards cabinet in the hope that it will karmic-ly cause awards to be bestowed upon you?? Apparently NOT, because it worked!)
No more!
Carrie from A Sassy Redhead has broken my 37 11/12th years drought, and given me an Liebster Blog award that I will be forever grateful for.
(That one in Kindergarten for "best talker" doesn't count because we all know what was the five -year-old equivalent of a backhanded compliment from the teacher).
(In all seriousness, Thank you Carrie, you rock! )
(And not just because of this.)
My job is to now send you on your way, to explore the wonders of five other awesome bloggers with less than 200 followers who deserve your support. So this I shall do, as I bid you adieu.
1. The Unknown Cystic – He and I get each other. (Which kind of sucks for him, because I'm pretty odd.)
2. Fifty Four and A Half – She is the most interesting writer, and she uses her age in the title. Being another person that cares not a whit about telling people my age, I think this rocks – and that's all before you start reading her awesome blog!
3. Spit and Spirits – He doesn't post as much of late, he's getting married and preparing to be under the thumb (kidding!!) but his posts are awesome, and he assures me he will be back, so you gotta love you some Jake J Fox.
4. Good Food 4 All – I just found this blog in the past few days. It's awesome, all about toxins in our day to day life, organic living etc. For all those that don't know I'm a closet hippy (if you want to see more of my activist-hippy side you can check out Natures Conspiracy or This Dish Is Veg). Before you do check out GF4A.
5. Meg's Simple Life – Meg has a family friendly blog about life, love and family. It's wholesome, interesting, and she seems sweet as pie.
(Note to Mark at Yelling Near You. Wanted to add you, but I couldn't because Carrie stole you first.)
She has it coming now…

View from the Top: Roxy Striar and Dana Holt
Posted By Dana Holt On December 17, 2008 @ 11:10 pm In Features | Comments Disabled
You wanna be on top? Welcome to the scandalous lives of Newton South's elite¦ But how did we get here? That's one secret we will never tell. What we can do, however, is give you some advice.
To be successful and have fun at the same time, you need to keep your grades up, keep your parents happy, go out every opportunity you get, and not be afraid to try new things. Now, if you do not choose that path you could do what we, the class of 2009, did and ditch options 1 and 2.
As "those seniors, we're pretty, we're cool, we dominate this school. Who are we? Just guess.
Guys wanna touch our¦ vests. It's R-R-R-Roxy and D-D-D-Dana. For those of you who don't know us, we're loud, we speak our minds, we're occasionally obnoxious, and yes, we are best friends. Now, this is a story all about how our lives got flipped-turned upside down, and we'd liked to take a minute just sit right there, we'll tell you how we became the top of a school called South (Air). Back when we were freshmen, girls thought it was cool to be freshman biddies. It's not. Not all attention is good attention. Older boys with girlfriends are off limits.
Freshman boys, all we can say is it gets better from here. Side note, it's a Facebook friend request not a Facebook one time I saw you in the hallway and now I want to look at your pictures request. As sophomores, your place in the school gets kind of lost. You aren't the youngest anymore, and you aren't upperclassmen. However, this is no excuse to flaunt yourselves on the internet. Junior year sucks. Fortunately, we like most of you, but don't let that get to your heads. It does not make you cool driving 100 miles per hour down Brandeis.
And by the way, 40-0, suck it. Thanks to Kevin, Skyler, Evan, and anyone else who showed their support, hope we made you proud. Senior year has been great so far. We have been waiting for this for at least the past three years of our lives, and now that it is finally here we want to live it up. Things to look forward to¦slump, assassins, senior skip-day, prom, scavenger hunt, and of course, graduation. We have also learned that there are a few things that people should always carry with them. The number for veterans taxi, car air freshener, ping pong balls…because what's a party without a game of ping pong, Advil, your cell phone charger, and some advice from Lil' Wayne, "you don't want that late text, that I think I'm late text. We know that surviving high school can be tough so we have put together some useful tips.
1) Sparknotes. Sparknotes. Sparknotes. 2) Your best friend's boyfriend¦off limits. 3) Don't drive without a license, don't steal your friend's parents' car, and if you are stupid enough to do so, definitely don't crash it. 4) You get two free skips per term. Use them¦ except for wellness, no one wants to be that senior in a freshman class. 5) You probably won't remember the homework assignment you skipped, and chances are you probably won't remember the party you went to instead of doing that homework assignment, but we can almost guarantee you that it was worth it. (Caution: this tip can't be used too frequently. It's important to get your work done, no matter how cool you feel not doing it, come senior year you want to keep your college options open). 6) Go to as many concerts as possible, but try not to come home with a bloody lip and a missing shoe. 7) IHOP and Store 24 are open all night for a reason. Get on at least two teachers' good sides, they are the ones who write your college recommendations, after all. Have fun, make a few close friends, and fight like hell to keep them. 9) It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right, we hope you have the time of your lives. Our remaining words of wisdom: Chicks before guys. If you have a boyfriend, he is cheating on you. If he says he isn't, he is lying. Dump him. A best friend is everything, so pick a good one. Be spontaneous. Don't lie. Don't steal. Cause as little drama as possible. Do what you love, even if people don't think it's "cool. Sleep is overrated.
Treat Sky Striar and Zach Holt like royalty. Roxy was robbed of BPA '09. It's that can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars over the fence world series kind of thing. Laugh your asses off because when you look back you realize most of it was a big joke anyway. Enjoy. Last minute shout outs to '˜08, '˜09, ca.pt.ai.ns, and OOF. You know you love us. Xoxo, Rox and Danes

Morecambe boss Jim Bentley has always preached the value of keeping clean sheets.
Last Saturday's 2-0 win at Carlisle United would have pleased the manager on more than one front.
Not only did his players earn three points but he also saw them shut out their hosts despite, with the exception of keeper Barry Roche, an inexperienced backline.
Watch as Bentley discusses what was only the club's second clean sheet of the season, following on from August's win against Northampton Town.

This time the Cabinet Minister uses Parliament as a get out of jail (in this case testifying) free card.
Let's see now. Maxime Bernier - Cabinet Minister involved in dreadful mistakes abroad and bikers. Lawrence Cannon - Cabinet Minister involved in an In and Out Scandal with Elections Canada. And, now, Cabinet Minister Josse Verner invoking Parliamentary Priviledge to help out her husband's company. That Conservative Quebec wing is sure making sponsorship look like a long gone thing of the past in PQ.
It's like shootin' fish in a barrel these days. Wait until an election, when all these CONS have to speak for themselves without restraint by the PMO.

Hair is one of the most beautiful assets we have, and it is also a delicate one. In our younger days we can take our luscious hair for granted, meaning that our appearance can be sacrificed later in life. While there are many different types of hair (from thick to thin) putting colour dyes and bleach in your hair can cause it to become damaged and lose its lustre. It can also cause the hair to thin and result in it falling out later in life. Loss of hair can also occur due to genetics or simply bad luck, which can be extremely damaging to your self-esteem. Here at sculpt cosmetica in Sydney we understand your desire for thick and healthy looking hair, that's why we offer our hair transplant procedure so that you can get the head of hair you've always wanted.
There are a number of reasons why our hair can fall out, such as diet, stress, medical conditions and scalp disorders. Stress is one of the most common conditions that can cause hair loss due to the way our body reacts, although we can also be impacted by genetic and coincidental traits such as pattern baldness and alopecia.
While we are said to lose 50-100 strands of hair a day, there comes a certain point where hair loss is excessive which means that it's something you may need to consult with your doctor about. If it is determined to be mainly a cosmetic issue, or one that can be treated with a cosmetic solution you may benefit from the hair transplant procedure at Macquarie Cosmetic Clinic. This procedure is designed to enhance your natural head of hair by filling in areas where thinning or hair loss has begun. It is perfect for people who are balding on the crown of their head or their receding hair line.
Here at our Sydney cosmetic practice we have seen our hair transplant procedure actively transform the way some of our patients look. A receding hair line (which plagues many older gentlemen) can add years and even decades to your physical age. With our hair transplant procedure we can restore volume to areas with little to no hair such as a receded hair line in order to create a more youthful look! By re-volumising the hair line we can also create a slightly difference face shape, as by closing in a receded hair line your face will appear less elongated.
Previous to modern technology, hair 'plugs' were used where sections of the scalp would be transplanted onto the sections of significant hair loss. Nowadays it is possible to re-insert your own single hairs using a single follicle hair transplant which is what we use at our cosmetic clinic in Sydney. This procedure can stimulate hair growth, meaning that in the next 3-5 months ensuing treatment your hair may thicken.
To find out more about our hair transplant available at our Sydney cosmetic surgery please do not hesitate to contact us.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
