Will the Super Bowl impact Groundhog Day?
By: Lauren Hensley
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa.-- The town of Punxsutawney is one week away from a major celebration. Groundhog Day falls on the same day as the Super Bowl; will the big game take away from Punxsutawney Phils spotlight?
Officials said it is a rare occurrence to have to have both the Super Bowl and Groundhog Day on the same day, but it does happen. So when it comes to the national spotlight, will the most watched sporting event take away from furry Phil? Experts said no.
We really don't have too many worries about that just because some of the local teams aren't in the Super Bowl this year, and Phil does his prognostication at 7 in the morning and the Super Bowl isn't late in the evening, executive director of the Groundhog Club Katie Donald, said. So they don't overlap too much time wise so we aren't too concerned.
As Phil is preparing to predict either a longer winter or an early spring, is he willing to take on another prediction; Fans want to know who will win the Super Bowl. Officials said they arent sure Phil is ready to tackle another prediction.
Phil will come face-to-face with his own opponent this year, though. Last year, a prosecutor from Ohio accused Phil of fraud after he predicted an early spring and his prediction was far from the truth. This man is expected to attend this years Groundhog Day.
In fact we invited him to this year's banquet and he is going to be here; thats' a real nice thing, Bob Roberts, Phils protector, said.
Twenty thousand spectators are excepted to attend the sunrise ceremony that will happen Feb. 2 at Gobblers Knob.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- For people eager to buy the just-launched Wii U, TalkTo (http://talkto.com) has created the FindaWiiU web page, which can send a text to local stores to find out if they have one available.
The FindaWiiU page (http://findawiiu.com/) uses TalkTo's innovative text-any-business technology. A shopper can simply go to the page, type in his or her location, and FindaWiiU shows the local stores that may stock it. Shoppers can then type a text message to each store and get a response back within minutes. It's much better than driving to a store that's already sold out, calling and waiting on hold, or searching endlessly online. TalkTo's FindaWiiU makes getting a Wii U from a local store more of a sure thing.
TalkTo is a Web and mobile app for iPhone and Android that allows users to send text messages to any business – and get a text back. The app makes it easier to find and buy things locally, put desired items on hold, and check prices, making the typically stressful task of holiday shopping a snap. The Wii U is among this season's most desired holiday gifts, and the FindaWiiU page will make buying one simpler.
"The Wii U is hot this year and they're going to fly off the shelves," said TalkTo CEO Stuart Levinson. "We want to make it easy for people to get their hands on the WiiU, and to shop local. Now it's possible, by texting stores with TalkTo."
TalkTo launched its free Web app last week following the initial introduction of its mobile apps when the company was selected as finalist at TechCrunch Disrupt 2011. Check out a video at http://bit.ly/talktovideo
To make texting any business possible, TalkTo works in the background to find the best way to contact the business and deliver your message. It can use chat, SMS, email, or even an old-fashioned phone call if necessary. TalkTo then makes sure you receive a text response.
About TalkTo
Now you can text businesses, just like you text your friends. TalkTo makes it simple to text a message to any business from the Web or your mobile device to get information, find a product, or make appointments and reservations. Use TalkTo to ask a question and then get on with your day: the people at TalkTo follow through to make sure you get a timely response. TalkTo is headquartered in Cambridge, MA and venture-backed by Matrix Partners. More at http://talkto.com.

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

The Internet of Things is a misnomer. That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker.

It is clear that when the dust settles, we will have new protocols, evolved protocols, that will change the way we interact with devices and infrastructure. We will also have evolved web protocols, like HTTP/2, that will be changing the very core of our infrastructures. At the same time, we have old approaches made new again like micro-services...

Happy Autumn!
As 2014 winds down, I am filled with gratitude as I reflect upon the last decade of my music career. It has been ten years since I departed my nursing career in Alaska and moved south to pursue my musical passion. I had a partially recorded Soul In Motion album in hand – originating in Alaska, to be completed in Arizona. Now, four albums and hundreds of thousands of miles later, my "soul" continues to be "in motion" upon this blessed, winding road of life. If you are in southern Arizona, please join me and the full band for a special concert commemorating the last decade of my musical journey on Friday, November 14th, 7:30p at the Sea of Glass Center for the Arts (330 E. 7th St, Tucson, AZ). Tickets are $10 in advance (purchase online HERE) and $15 at the door.
It is truly a gift to share my music within the world. Thank you for being part of the reason that I am able to do this.
As our souls continue to be in motion upon this winding road together, I wish you a blessed season of letting go and settling into the stillness (that is…if you are in the northern hemisphere; and happy spring if you are on the southern side!).
Much peace and light,
Watch the Raise Me Up video - a song Amber wrote inspired by the stories of the horses at Equine Voices Rescue & Sanctuary and filmed on site at the sanctuary.
Watch the Unexpected Grace video – featuring the song that Amber wrote for director/ producer Marcus De Leon and Tucson Wildlife Center.

A man of few words there jason.
You know me Seth.
Did you sleep well ?
I did fuck all today apart from a 30 minute run.
It took a few hours to get back to sleep, but I'm feeling alright.
It's good you ran though, when I feel a bit better I need to get back in the gym so I can make all the menfolk's mouths water.
You change those avatars more often than i do.
I see Enchanted is keeping his homely head down.
afternoon guys
a quick win before heading over to the family dinner
see you guys later
I just can't decide what to put up.
Maybe he'll actually leave now, or at least stop being a prick.

Hi Johan, have fun!
Have a nice time johan,
I doubt it jason, he's a crash and burner.
I wounder why he didn't just post some pics and join in the conversation, must be immaturity.
Edited for more promo.
Can't see videos again.
I'll just assume it's romantic.
It is, i can see your kylie gifs now,
Back in a little while
Guess I'll make breakfast, bye Seth.
Crikey Sakes,
Lively as this entire site is today,
I might as well have gone to church...
or played funeral dirges on the playground.
The site seemed livelier in times gone by. Or maybe that was just me.
I think so too Paul.
A certain element appears to be infiltrating, breaching the ramparts
as it were. Some of them appear to be descendants of Attila the Hun
and/or Geronimo....
Attack, retreat, attack, count coup and then wander the walls seeking
to satisfy their troll like desires and lusts.
Hopefully it is only a strong virus and not a virulent epidemic.
Elements come and go Lefty.
Back from the birthday party and snagging a win. Still feeling "eh" today. Ah well, I'll get my head out of my arse soon and get over it.
^ You can't be that ill if you managed to attend a birthday party.
Lol... I'm not ill. Just kind of down in the dumps. And it was a family member's birthday, so I had to go.
I see. It's the time of year for being down in the dumps.
Anyway, you might enjoy this. I'll leave it for Bender to spot later.
That's a hoot, unloadonme. lol Thanks for sharing it.

Just think of the logistics problems it solves for you at the clubs.
And I know, if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest . . .

That was you hiding in the woods behind Sethberts!

Evening Johan
Hi Bort, Jay, Lefty, and DQ
just been looking at a silly troll thread by ILoveGays
been a while since I've seen his posts
You asked for the trolls Johan.
I hope you are enjoying them.
and our beloved Elroy is back
don't get better than that
funny, someone was just mentioning him yesterday...last week too
I'm beginning to wonder if Elroy is a sock puppet for another Jubber
or for someone higher up when they want to have a little fun...who knows
Wouldn't that be a mind trip - Corny giving you guys some "fun".
And I know, if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest . . .
Evening guys, had an early night.
Hi JayHawk
Hi DQ
Hi Bendy
well, If I was a mod...I'd do it sometimes just for a little light hearted fun
Well i missed nothing.
Have to go and wind sokker up later when i'm more alert.
Did the family meal go well johan ?
I'd like to have a dinner for two in Cleveland, to be honest.
And I know, if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest . . .

Generac recognizes and grows talent. It is a great place to work if you looking for career. Generac is every changing and growing which makes new opportunities possible on a regular basis. The senior staff is competent and full of people who lead by example. Continous improvement is a foucs in every area of the company.Cons
If fancy offices and state of the art computers and phones are what you are looking for, Generac lacks these amenities. Salaries tend to only be about average.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Stayed here last weekend. We didn't arrive until 600p -- tired and hungry. We went up into the room and dropped our bag off and then went down to the bar. We ate - and had a few drinks. They had a guy singing Irish favorites - so that was nice. The breakfast in the morning was perfect. No complaints... More

An hour before update and only one vote? Guuuuuurls you are not bringing it! You need to work it like you are walking through hell in gasoline soaked pyjamas.
Vote: Neonsands
Partly for the reason stated above, and partly because a tie would mean I would survive. Assuming no one randomly comes in and vote for me, which I'm sure will happen.
To save Zenax:
Vote: Neonsands
Not saving Zenax. Killing me.
Vote: Zenax
Um, so rather than try to defend yourself properly, you jump directly towards voting someone else by declaring yourself less expendable? On what grounds?
unvote: Zenax
vote: Neonsands
Gurrrlll, you gon' need moh style than that.
And of what should I defend myself? You just decided to vote for me because I had the same opinion as someone else.
@Zenax, Aestivate was referring to NS, but... okay.
unvote: Neonsands
Last time there was a vote and someone claimed before the lynch, the models lost their doctor. Aestivate is not taking any risks, but will be keeping her eye out on NS.
Hence why....
Revote: Zenax
Vote: parmalee
aestivate is still watching the two of you.
but if y'all are innocent, then parma is guilty for touting your names.
Unvote: Neonsands
That would make one vote for everyone, I think.
P.S. I didn't think anything of it then, but now that I saw you looking at the thread but not even acknowledging my claim, I have reason to doubt your allegiance to the town.
Any explanation?

@MISC{University_learningvia, author = {Andrew Lee University and Andrew C. Lee}, title = {Learning via Finitely Many Queries}, year = {}}
This work introduces a new query inference model that can access data and communicate with a teacher by asking finitely many boolean queries in a language L. In this model the parameters of interest are the number of queries used and the expressive power of L. We study how the learning power varies with these parameters. Preliminary results suggest that this model can help studying query inference in an resource bounded environment.

The cage is now open. Dare I fly? What if I fall?
"And where does the newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite."Congratulations! All these new options have opened up for you. Now then, what will you choose? What do you mean, you're intimidated? Shouldn't you feel more comfortable, with all this room to move? Shouldn't you feel more hopeful, with all this room to improve? Do you know how ridiculous it sounds, when you say, in a tone of anguish, "I have much more choice than I could possibly know what to do with!". Could it be that you're suffering from Freedom Vertigo? The increase in freedom need not be a physical limitation of restraints; sometimes the limit of what you can do is fixed by what you think you can do. Hence, when you stop believing in God, Fate, the Rules, or what your parents would approve of, you can find yourself in a similar situation; this specific instance of that vertigo, of realizing that you can decide who you'll be and what you'll do with your life, after the authorities that used to decide that for you are discredited, is precisely what existentialists called "existential angst". The trouble, is that, with so many choices, the probabilities are overwhelming that you'll take a suboptimal route; regardless of what criterion you follow (and even assuming that you can figure out a consistent criterion quickly enough to be practical, for time will not wait while you're Agonizing Over New Choices), it is almost certain that you will not get to weigh every option in a satisfactory way. while it is true that, when confronted with a very wide array of choices, Science can help you narrow it down to fewer options, there's only so much you can do before it's time to just trust your instincts, close your eyes, and leap. Related to Freedom from Choice, which, from the examples, seems to be about getting or being rid of the vertigo-inducing freedom. Can overlap with So What Do We Do Now? and And Then What? when the fetters lost were adversarial in nature (a rival or an enemy that needed to be defeated, an urgent problem that demanded all of your attention until it was solved); this is why even The Unfettered is not immune to this trope, once their goal, which justified any and all means, is achieved. Examples: Anime and Manga
The Major, Ghost in the Shell
"Existential angst", sometimes called dread, anxiety, or anguish, is a term that is common to many existentialist thinkers. It is generally held to be a negative feeling arising from the experience of human freedom and responsibility. The archetypal example is the experience one has when standing on a cliff where one not only fears falling off it, but also dreads the possibility of throwing oneself off. In this experience that "nothing is holding me back", one senses the lack of anything that predetermines one to either throw oneself off or to stand still, and one experiences one's own freedom.[21]
It can also be seen in relation to the previous point how angst is before nothing, and this is what sets it apart from fear that has an object. While in the case of fear, one can take definitive measures to remove the object of fear, in the case of angst, no such "constructive" measures are possible. The use of the word "nothing" in this context relates both to the inherent insecurity about the consequences of one's actions, and to the fact that, in experiencing one's freedom as angst, one also realizes that one will be fully responsible for these consequences; there is no thing in a person (his or her genes, for instance) that acts in her or his stead, and that he or she can "blame" if something goes wrong. Therefore, not every choice is perceived as having dreadful possible consequences (and, it can be claimed, human lives would be unbearable if every choice facilitated dread). However, this doesn't change the fact that freedom remains a condition of every action.Western Animation

The Levy County Commission, with two members who leave in November due to electoral losses, was commended on Monday evening by the only Levy County resident who cared to show up and speak at a public hearing where the property tax and final budget for the 2014-15 was unanimously approved.
"I want you to note that the budget is less than last year when it was $66 million and some change. Good job," said Dana Sheffield of "the Fanning Springs Sheffields."This board has done a good job for the county."
Without as much as a single nod of affirmation or an harrumph of disdain, the Williston City Council approved the millage rate at 5.8527 mills and a budget of $14.7 million for FY 2014-2015 during Tuesday night's public hearing.
In less than nine minutes, the city's finances for next year were taken care of without one resident present to question or applaud what becomes of their tax money.
In the first hearing two weeks ago, the council members agreed that this budget is the best efforts they can do for their town.

The Lady Red Devils were able to get their first victory of the season last Wednesday, as they defeated North Marion High School in a thrilling comeback at home. Williston had trailed two games to one but were able to rally back and win 3 - 2.

Cliff Lohrey's career as head football coach of the Williston High School Red Devils came to an abrupt halt around 4 p.m. Sunday when Principal Eulin Gibbs fired the seven-month coach and athletic director.
The following people were sentenced in Levy County courts during March:
Paul Lavell Alexander Jr., VOP on 2 counts of cocaine possession, probation reinstated and modified to have curfew from 7 p.m.-6 a.m. Must pay probation and VOP costs.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
• Sept. 1, Ranie Ronald Baker, 55, Inglis, out of county warrant. Bond $250.
Sept. 11, 2001–a day that changed our country forever–is remembered annually by the Williston Fire Department with signs erected on the lawn. The Williston Pioneer remembers this day and salutes the men and women who lost their lives during that time. God bless America!

"A lady at the libray was browsing the diet-related cookbooks while I was doing the same. She related this recipe to me and swore it was good. ( One of the advantages of age - I'll talk to anyone ;-) )"
Serving Size: 1 (243 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"This was really good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written. The whole family enjoyed it."
"this set wonderful, I went with sweetened applesauce and strawberry jello as that is all I had, also I used regular 7-Up not the diet, and made in a square pan, this turned out wonderful, thanks for sharing Susie!"
"We liked this very much. It's Tangy as my husband says. We're not big fans of jello or applesauce but this is great. We're trying to loose some weight and I thought I would slip something no sugar in on him hoping he wouldn't notice and it worked. Thank you for a wonderful recipe."
"Hey SusieQusie: I really did enjoy this recipe, easy and fast to make.I am excited to make it for our granddaughter! Thank You Dula"
"YUMMY! This is a WONDERFUL TANGY FRUITY sugar-free jello. I had to sub peach jello because I didn't know I was out of raspberry until I started making it. I squeezed fresh OJ. I reversed steps 4 and 5 and then poured it into a 4.2 cup tupperware dish. The texture takes some getting used to...kind like baby food...but it has a great flavor. Made for Photo Tag so I added some red food coloring to compensate for the peach jello."
"I gave this 5 stars. I make a recipe just like this except it never called for diet products and no oj. I love this recipe. I got the recipe from my home ec. class years ago. We made it as part of a class project. I've also made this for a family gathering and got great reviews. I have not had it in a long while so it's sure time. Thanks for posting a great recipe. Christine (internetnut)"
"I love this, it more than diabetic legal, it's diabetic blessed. The taste is excellent and I quite like the texture that the applesauce gives it. I used strawberry jello (because thats what I had) and as strawberries and o.j. have a natural affinity for one another it was a grand flavor mix. It's saved to my diabetic cookbook."

MPAA Rating: Unrated
Running Time: 21 minutes
Click to Expand Credits:
"No More Lonely Nights" is an experimental work of (reworked) found footage, created by Vincenzo Core and Fabio Scacchioli in the style that Austrian filmmaker Martin Arnold pioneered beginning in the 1980s.
Arnold's work takes footage from classic Hollywood films (notably the Andy Hardy films with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland) and subjects them to a kind of filmic microscope, by taking tiny fragments of action and running the film backwards and forwards repeatedly. In Arnold's work, the results are often revelatory, as you can see the hidden inner life contained within seemingly unimportant, transitional moments of action, such as a character reaching for a cup. Arnold's technique amplifies the body language inside these moments, and often reveals unconscious emotions which are directly in contradiction to the supposed mood of the scene.
Core and Scacchioli are working more or less by following Arnold's footsteps, but they do a pretty good job. (Not quite as good as the original Master.) "Lonely Nights" examines melodramatic films of love, passion, and murder found in Hollywood films. In addition to running certain actions backwards and forwards, they use the (also familiar) technique of intercutting very rapidly between three or more sequences, sometimes from different scenes, and thus creating a kind of ghostly superimposition between different moments.
One of the best effects they come up with is the rapid intercutting of two different couples coming together for a kiss. In one scene the woman is on the right and in the other one she is on the left, and the result of the rapid alternation is to create an interesting confusion of genders and roles.
"No More Lonely Nights" may not be original in style or technique, but the filmmakers have done a good job of analyzing the mechanics by which Hollywood films manipulate us and manufacture our emotional responses.

American is currently seeking to cut costs in bankruptcy protection so the flight attendants' union pushed hard for this vote — warning that rejecting the contract could mean even deeper cuts or furloughs. The company's trying to cut about a billion dollars in labor costs. Mechanics and other union workers had previously accepted new contracts but pilots rejected American's latest offer earlier this month.

Cole Call
The U.S. Navy returns to Lebanon.
11:00 PM, Mar 3, 2008 • By DAVID KENNER
The USS Cole appears at a particularly hopeless moment in Lebanese politics. A deadlock between the pro-Western government and the pro-Syrian, Hezbollah-led opposition, begun in November 2006, has crippled most of Lebanon's institutions. A Parliament session scheduled to elect Lebanon's next President, vacant since last November, failed for the 15th time. Ominously, the struggle threatened to spill over into the broader region. Egypt and Saudi Arabia, supporters of Lebanon's pro-government forces, signaled that they would boycott an Arab summit in Damascus due to Syria's support for Hezbollah and its allies. The presence of the Cole should be understood as a show of support for the Lebanese government, and an attempt to alter the political calculus in negotiations between the rival parties.
For many pro-government leaders, it has long been unclear whether the United States was willing to offer anything other than rhetorical support for their cause. In contrast, as the assassination of several anti-Syrian lawmakers attests, the Syrian regime has never had such qualms. Every government concession only resulted in increased demands from the opposition. By raising the possibility of military escalation, the United States strengthens the bargaining position of the pro-government majority.
The opposition's response to the presence of the USS Cole off Lebanon's shore was quick, and obvious. "This decision proves that it's the United States which is interfering in Lebanese affairs, and that this interference has taken on a military slant," said Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah, shortly after the arrival of the warship.
However, the government's reaction was more complicated. Nationalists in their own right, pro-government leaders are sensitive to the opposition's charge that they are merely Western puppets. While there was undoubtedly some level of private enthusiasm for the American move, politicians were more circumspect in their public statements. Prime Minister Fouad Siniora's first statement about the action emphasized that the Cole had not actually entered Lebanese territorial waters, and that the Lebanese government "did not ask anyone to send warships."
As a display of force, a single destroyer is not one of the American military's more impressive exhibitions. Few analysts believe that this threat will intensify into direct intervention any time soon.
"As far as boots on the ground . . . I don't think it's in the cards," said David Schenker, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "Nevertheless, it accomplishes two things: it shows the US's ongoing commitment to Lebanese democracy, and it is another pressure point on Syria."
Two refueling ships are accompanying the Cole. There is also the chance that the Navy's Nassau battle group, which consists of six ships, among which are amphibious troop carriers, will join the Cole off the shores of Lebanon. If that is so, and if more ships join the burgeoning American presence, the analysts might have to rethink their skepticism.
However, the presence of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in South Lebanon, and off the coast, could discourage direct American action. If U.S. warships intervene, it would undermine UNIFIL's legitimacy to maintain the peace between Israel and Hezbollah in the South. "I do not think that you will see these ships anywhere close to the Lebanese shore," remarked Timor Goksel, a former UNIFIL spokesman. "I know the United Nations, and they will very quickly distance themselves from this move."
Still, there remains a number of ways that the situation could spiral out of control. If the Lebanese begin to identify this U.S. action with the UNIFIL presence, UNIFIL could be vulnerable in South Lebanon. UNIFIL forces have been targeted in the past. A roadside bomb hit a UNIFIL vehicle in June 2007, killing six UNIFIL soldiers, and another attack in January 2008 wounded two more.

Policeman takes over phone line at EB office in absence of Assistant Engineer
It was an entirely different call that M.K.B. Nagar inspector S. Sheik Babu attended to on Thursday night and it was not in a police station. He was patiently attending to power cut calls at the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) office in Sharma Nagar and assuring callers that supply will be restored.
He was forced into the situation after a mob comprising residents of M.K.B Nagar and surrounding areas such as Bhaktavatsalam colony, Sharma Nagar, Erukancheri, Sastri Nagar and MGR Nagar staged a demonstration in front of the TANGEDCO office on Erukanchery Road at around 11 p.m on Thursday. "We did not have power from Thursday morning. It was restored only on Friday evening," said Thamaresh, a resident of Damodar Nagar.
He said that apart from the one hour load shedding, they face power cuts and low voltage problems daily and the TANGEDCO officials do not attend calls. Unable to bear the negligence of the TANGEDCO officials, the residents held the demonstration. "We purchased cables earlier and gave them after they said it had to be replaced. But despite this, the supply quality is poor and the response to consumer complaints is pathetic," said J. Sudharani, a resident.
When the police reached the spot, the concerned assistant engineer was not in office and no one was attending calls. The cops had to call the TANGEDCO headquarters on Anna Salai and pass on the information to the engineer.
"A temporary employee was posted in the office. He got frightened seeing the mob, and ran away. I then attended a few calls. Sometime later, the engineer came to the office. The residents dispersed only after they got assurance that supply would be restored," said inspector Sheik Babu.
The inspector stressed the need for a TANGEDCO official to be present in the office even at night. "The main problem here is overloading. Only someone responsible can make the consumers understand. I have told the concerned assistant engineer to post someone in the office daily," said Sheik Babu.
TANGEDCO officials said , most of the consumers have single phase connections. "With this, they run all electrical equipment including ACs. Thus, the supply gets affected," said an official.

Photo Credit: Freckleface Strawberry The Musical
I admit I was a little worried about bringing my toddler daughter, Isadora, to her first theatrical performance, a musical version of one of her favorite books, Freckleface Strawberry by Julianne Moore. What if she couldn't sit still, got whiney, or worse, ruined the play for the crowd around us?
Beforehand, she didn't seem that excited by the idea of going -- but then again, how do you know you'd like chocolate if you've never tried it? She willingly came along without a fuss, and throughout the 70-minute show sat quietly on my lap. (Glancing over at the expensive empty seat next to me was a little frustrating, but having interrupted lap-time was incredibly sweet!)
The musical has an adult cast but they all play kids, acting with animated gestures. It follows the book closely and has a colorful, storybook set. It charmingly traces the growing self-confidence of a redheaded, heavily freckled 8-year old girl who's teased at the playground and hides under a ski mask. Eventually, she learns to embrace her uniqueness -- it's a simple but poignant lesson in loving who you are. Sure, the songs aren't that memorable, and the added sub-plot is a little thin, but the kids didn't seem to mind. It clearly spoke to them. The play's designers did a great job bringing LeUyen Pham's charming illustrations to life, and the multi-tasking cast works hard. My girl stared wide-eyed throughout; I think she may have forgotten to blink!
When the play had finished, Isadora didn't clap, didn't smile, didn't say much about it. I honestly couldn't tell if she enjoyed it or not. But the next morning at 7, I heard her talking to herself in her room. I opened the door and she said, "Freckleface Strawberry is coming over to read me a book today." And so began her new obsession with a little redheaded girl. She talks about her all time, calls her Strawberry Shortcake doll "Freckleface" and wants to read the books every day. To me, in a world dominated by Cinderellas and fairies, having more realistic role model like the one Julianne Moore has created is a welcome reprieve.
And as far as the play goes, I think we're gonna go see it again.
How old were your kids when they saw their first play? Chime in below!
