The author of the bestselling memoir Makes Me Wanna Holler presents a profound debut novel — in the tradition of Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities and Zadie Smith’s White Teeth — that captures the dynamics of class and race in today’s urban integrated communities. Nathan McCall’s novel, Them, tells a compelling story set in a downtown Atlanta neighborhood known for its main street, Auburn Avenue, which once was regarded as the “richest Negro street in the world.” The story centers around Barlowe Reed, a single, forty-something African American who rents a ramshackle house on Randolph Street, just a stone’s throw from the historic birth home of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Barlowe, who works as a printer, otherwise passes the time reading and hanging out with other men at the corner store. He shares his home and loner existence with a streetwise, twentysomething nephew who is struggling to get his troubled life back on track. When Sean and Sandy Gilmore, a young white couple, move in next door, Barlowe and Sandy develop a reluctant, complex friendship as they hold probing — often frustrating — conversations over the backyard fence. Members of both households, and their neighbors as well, try to go about their business, tending to their homes and jobs. However, fear and suspicion build — and clashes ensue — with each passing day, as more and more new whites move in and make changes and once familiar people and places disappear. Using a blend of superbly developed characters in a story that captures the essence of this country’s struggles with the unsettling realities of gentrification, McCall has produced a truly great American novel.

Top-earning female athletes over the last 12 months including Maria Sharapova, Caroline Wozniacki, Danica Patrick, Venus Williams and so on. This list is released based on some factors such as salaries, prize money, endorsements, appearance fees and exhibitions. More interestingly, tennis players dominate the list with seven of ten. The total ten highest paid women made 3 million from July 2010 to July 2011, up 1% from last year. Let?s see more details.
Maria Sharapova who lands No. 1 in the list has earned a total of million from July 2010 to July 2011, doubles the amount of any other female athlete in the world. After years of struggling with injuries and inconsistent play on the tennis court, the 25 year-old female athlete came back on the court in 2011 and reached the Wimbledon finals in July.
Sharapova is the world?s highest-paid female athlete for the seventh straight year and this year is not exceptional
Landing No. 2 is the world?s No. 1 ranked tennis player, Caroline Wozniacki at .5 million. The 21-year-old tennis player has signed some contracts with Yonex, Compeed, Oriflame, and Adidas in 2011 thanks to her No. 1 ranking
Danica Patrick ranked No. 3 at million. Her fourth place finish in the Sam’s Town 300 last March was considered the highest finish ever by a woman in a Nascar race
The fourth highest-earned female athlete over the past year is Venus Williams at .5 million. In spite of being the oldest woman on the list, Venus, 31, still gains so much from some deals with Wilson, Electronic Arts, Kraft, Ralph Lauren and Tide
28-year-old Kim Clijsters earned million during the 12-month period. Her .5 million in prize money is the most on the WTA Tour
.5 million is all Serena Williams earned from July 2010 to July 2011. After foot surgery and a blood clot in her lungs, the 29-year-old star is still put on No.5 and her million in career prize money is more than any other female athlete
Kim Yu-na, 20, South Korea’s most popular athlete is on the top earning at million
No. 8 is Li Na, the first Chinese player to win a singles Grand Slam event at the 2011 French Open with a total of million
Ana Ivanovic is ranked No. 17 in the world and No.9 in this list at million
Paula Creamer is the lone golfer among the highest-paid women at .5 million
There are many great stories and legends that surround the Christmas time of year and while many people don’t like spiders normally, this legend might just make them smile anyway.
The legend is believed to originate from Germany and is told two different ways. Both ways are predominately the same except for one area. One way tells of Santa (or Father Christmas) visiting the home, the other way tells of Jesus visiting the home.
The legend is as follows: “The day before Christmas the mother of a family made a huge effort to get her home clean so it could be decorated and made ready to be blessed by the Christ child on Christmas. The spiders fled before the vigorous onslaught of the broom. They scurried away to hide up in the furthest reaches of the attic.
The house was cleaned and decorated with great care. A Christmas tree was brought in and arrayed with ornaments and decorations. That night, when the family had gone to bed, the spiders returned to the main rooms of the house to see what the flurry of activity had been all about. They were delighted by the beauty of the home. The Christmas tree was the center of attention, however, and the spiders ran to the tree and scurried throughout its branches so they could admire each and every one of the ornaments. Of course, to do this, the spiders had to spin their webs, so the tree was soon wrapped with strands of dull gray spider silk.
In the morning, the Christ child came to bless the house. The tree was beautiful to him, for after all, the spiders were among God’s creatures, but he knew the mother, who had worked so hard to clean the house, was not likely to view the webs the same way. The Christ child touched the spider webs and they began to glisten and glimmer and turn to sparkling garlands of gold and silver.
In the morning, the entire family gathered about the Christmas tree and exclaimed that it had never looked so lovely! Only the mother knew that the sparkling strands were a true Christmas miracle and not some last-minute decoration. Since that time, it has been tradition to bedeck the tree with garlands and tinsel. While the mother still chases the spiders away for cleaning on Christmas Eve, she remembers and honors the Christmas miracle by hanging a spider ornament among the branches of the tree.”
Beyond the story being a neat legend there is also an opportunity for a craft, and maybe even a unique gift. A handmade spider ornament and a print out of the Legend of the Christmas Spider could share the Christmas spirit.
Items needed: 2 bells pipe cleaners (I use silver to match the silver bells) 2 wiggle eyes ribbon hot glue and gun
(Alternatively you can make a jeweled spider large beads for the body and small beads for the legs)
To make the spider is as simple as gluing the two bells together, gluing on the eyes, pipe cleaners for legs and a length of ribbon to make a loop to hang the ornament on the tree.
Many people have never heard of the Legend of the Christmas Spider so if you are looking for an easy, unique craft for the Christmas season this may be just the thing.
