“Have I wasted my life?” Ernestine demands of her mother, Alice (Susannah Flood), numbering the “250 babies born every minute, 15,000 every hour,” with the dramatic over-exaggeration of every sensitive teen. The first scene sets the template for all the following scenes. Will the damn cake ever get placed in the oven? But the cake leadenly Stands for Something-what is ever truly completed in a life? What goes into it? What does it stand for?-and so you wait, and bakers may very well worry about the barely mentioned icing. Prosaically, you wish somebody would finish the mixing already as the years continue. Much as the play, directed by Vivienne Benesch, deploys big themes of love, marriage, mortality, betrayal, and tragedy, there is also a stilted stasis to what unfolds. The passage of time from one distinct era to the next, scene to scene, is marked by the dinging of a cooking bell: How is a cake baked, and how is a life baked? The process of baking the cake is the start-to-will-it-ever-finish? task of this comedy-drama, playing alongside the aging of Ernestine’s life. Christine Jones’ set not only includes the kitchen of Ernestine’s Grand Rapids, Michigan, home, but a constellation of planets above it, with a stunningly hung universe of floating domestic objects, like a basketball hoop, rolling pin, and cushions.īut for all the scattering passage of time-just over 90 years of Ernestine’s life is represented in this 90-minute Roundabout Theatre Company play-it also stands still, because every moment from her life we see unfolds on her birthday, from her 17th to her death 90 years later aged 107, and the baking of a golden butter birthday cake on that day. At my performance, I heard a lot of sniffing from audience members all around me.What is the story and substance of an individual life? Noah Haidle’s Broadway play Birthday Candles (American Airlines Theatre, to May 29), sets out to interrogate this Very Big Question through the life of Ernestine ( Debra Messing) and the people, ties, and events that bind around her. On the other hand, others will find its gentle-humored examination of ordinary domestic life to be relatable and deeply moving. One could have a cynical reaction to “Birthday Candles,” finding it sentimental and manipulative, with existential queries and lines of “King Lear” that are didactically repeated in an attempt to make it seem profound. Whereas Emily in “Our Town” relives her 12th birthday after dying in childbirth and feels incredible regret, Ernestine in “Birthday Candles” lives out numerous birthdays and possesses the maturity to understand life and recover from loss. Theater buffs will be tempted to compare “Birthday Candles” with “Our Town,” Thornton Wilder’s classic drama about everyday life. She is joined by five other actors, most of whom play multiple characters over time, including Enrico Colantoni, John Earl Jelks, Crystal Finn, Susannah Flood, and Christopher Livingston. Messing’s continuing transformation in age is relatively understated and incremental, although there are some shifts in physicality, demeanor, and voice. Specific dates and times are not identified throughout the play, although one suspects that Ernestine’s century-long journey was meant to end in the present day. This cycle continues as Ernestine becomes a grandmother and great-grandmother, starts a business, leaves her husband, marries the fumbling boy next door, replaces numerous goldfish, and loses many more people.Īll the while, Ernestine keeps baking her bake and opining about the importance of her rituals in the midst of a vast universe (as represented by the stylized scenic design above the kitchen, which depicts a galaxy of planets and family heirlooms). But moments later, her mother has died, and she has married her high school boyfriend and has her own rebellious children. Ernestine mixes flour, butter, sugar, and eggs into a batter, puts it into an oven, and eventually takes out a golden yellow cake.Īt first, Ernestine is an assertive and rebellious teen who is determined to not conform.

As a drummer, she wants the drums to blink colored lights when she hits a drum, for entertainment and a wow factor.New version using Trinket Pro, added an animation mode button, and a knob/potentiometer to control sensitivity of piezo sensor Testing sensor sensitivity and code changes The second iteration uses adafruit trinket pro and includes a potentiometer to provide the user the ability control the sensitivity of the piezo sensor on the fly w/o additional programming, and powered via a switching power supply instead of the usb input. We are currently working on an upgraded version of it. We finished the first version of the project and very happy how it worked out. I thought about this later but just went ahead with one trinket per drum/cymbal. You could probably use fewer trinkets if powering from an external source instead of USB. Con(s): Expensive, when making one for every drum/cymbal in the set.Pro(s): This is a great arduino learning project and will be awesome when implemented.If you have not yet, make the change to PlatformIO with VSCode. I'm so glad I did! PlatformIO is night and day better than the Arduino IDE. I was not aware of PlatformIO when I orginally started this project and stumbled opon it. Note: I originally used the Arduino IDE for this project but switched to PlatformIO for VSCode when I updated/refactored the project for use with an Adafruit Trinket Pro 5v instead of the regular Trinket 5v. This is our project we setup for us to take it from concept to reality. My daughter and I added interactive leds to her drum set for fun and a learning experience. News & World Report, Newsweek, People and Seventeen. Sally has appeared on NBC's Today program and has been quoted in countless publications, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Weekend, USA Today, U.S. She is the co-author of Panicked Parents' Guide to College Admissions The Transfer Student's Guide to Changing Colleges and The International Student's Guide to Going to College in America. Sally Rubenstone knows the competitive and often convoluted college admission process inside out: From the first time the topic of college comes up at the dinner table until the last duffel bag is unloaded on a dorm room floor. So if you don’t get the good news you want next year, it may not be at all connected to your math ACT score. Yet remember that the most sought-after schools are looking for applicants who not only have top grades and test scores but who also submit applications that include other distinctions … atypical extracurricular activities, extraordinary achievements, an unusual background, etc. However, your other stronger ACT scores and your calc grade will help to push the math result towards the back burner. Also, if your math score is on the low side but you’ve already taken calc as a junior and gotten an “A” in it, this will be more important than your ACT score on that section.īut, even so, your math ACT score could still have some impact on your college verdicts, especially at the hyper-selective colleges like Georgetown, where your “competitor applicants” may have similar transcripts and high test results across the board. Will a lower math score really hurt me in admissions for these kind of schools?Īdmission officials will look at ALL of your ACT sub-scores, not just the Composite, and if one score (in this case, math) is well below the others, it will be duly noted that it is an exception. What do they look at? I’m shooting for schools like Georgetown and UVA (resident) and I am kind of worried. I’m pretty hopeful that I’ll get a composite score above 30, but I’m not sure if colleges just look at the composite score or at every little component. I’m frustrated because even though math has NEVER been my strong suit I’ve always worked very hard and taken higher level classes for the best grades in math (mostly always high Bs excepting an A in calc junior year yay!). Question: I’m a rising senior now and I will take my ACT test soon, and as I’ve been doing the practice tests I’m finding that I always score in the really high 30s for Reading, English, and Science but in the mid to high 20s for Math.

I really did not like it when I first saw it last year and could not watch for longer than 15 minutes. I am Black too - and this is great fun and I am pleased for it. I don't think the negative reviews are at all accurate, and why can't Black people have so much fun and enjoyment. Does it exclude white or any other race? No But let's be clear this is a story about four black women living in Harlem! Who happened to be best friends and this is their story their lives! And in this particular world of the story there is a lot that center around black culture!!! Now does the show center around a black cast? Yes. You can really sit down and enjoy the show for what it is! It's a really great show, it's funny, it's witty, and there's some good drama moments in this show. Instead of really trying to focus on culture and background of what people deal with and watch that show from that perspective people decide to bash it because they don't understand. Now every time that it seems lately, when people don't see a representation of themselves shows like this! At least the way they want to be seen, there's always one rating reviews. I'm watching this show and I'm halfway through it! I like the comedy in this show, and even the acting! I see that some of the reviews are trying to get this show canceled. I'm sure it will be better once the show gets their sea legs. Even with the program's faults, I'm still committed to watching a second season. Jerrie Johnson is a treat! And, she's gorgeous and has definite screen presence. I've dated women like Tye and been friends with even more. Oliver definitely got the butch lesbian right. I didn't recognize her until I looked the show up on IMDb. I *LOVE* her new look! I've always thought she was beautiful, but she is infinitely more attractive with longer hair. Grace Byers was also a pleasant surprise. But I have to say I'm very pleasantly surprised. Religious, conservative and aloof in real life to play a character like Camille. There's too much effort put into being humorous and not enough put into character development that's real and age appropriate. What I want to see is Black professional women who've learned from life and are still rocking it like the bosses they are. I didn't like the WHITE Sex in the City! It only made me vow to not hang out with heterosexual white women. Daniels are trying to make the Black Sex in the City. They're engaging, talented and beautiful. I don't want to give this show a bad rating because there's so much potential here. They only talk about MEN! It's embarrassing. These women act like they're in high school. At least, that's true for Black professional women. By the time women are in our mid-30s, the hunt for a partner isn't our sole goal in life. I could accept their immaturity were the characters in their early 20s these women are supposed to be in their 30s. However, the scripts make some of the characters-Camille and Quinn-*VERY* immature. His third studio album Come Home With Me arrived the following year, paving the way for Dipset to join the house that JAY-Z, Damon Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke built - and the rest is history.The premise of this show is GREAT! The talent is awesome. According to Jim Jones, the group were returning from a period when they were looking for a way back into the industry before they broke onto the scene.Ĭam’ron had just gotten out of his deal with Sony/Epic Records and worked his way back alongside his crew, which led to him signing a deal with Roc-A-Fella in 2001. The album was just the latest punch from The Diplomats, who were dusting themselves off from uncertainty. We was really outside, so just the opportunity that we got as we were coming from nothing was special.” We knew we had a way into this game, but everything that we put on there was really what we were living. “We were young and ambitious teenagers from Harlem who set out with a dream and goal, and was able to accomplish that. “It was great and very raw,” Capo told HipHopDX via Zoom. Many consider Diplomatic Immunity to be a classic 2000s rap album, and as it celebrates its 20th anniversary this weekend, and Jim Jones believes it’s a moment that should be cherished, especially given what the project symbolizes. The story begins when a British video game developing company called Argonaut Software (at the time) were working on various technical concepts for games with three-dimensional graphics for different video game home consoles. The Star Fox franchise originally began as a mere technical demonstration for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) that was never really meant to become a fully fledged game. History Origins (Circa late 1980s - early 1990s) The series is considered to be situated in a futuristic science-fiction setting, usually using fighter spacecrafts called Arwings as the games' players' main element of progression.ĭue to the anthropomorphic nature of the characters, the series overall is often perceived as a furry video game series. However, overtime, the series added other notable characters such as Krystal and Star Wolf. The titular team is composed of four main, reoccurring characters known as Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Slippy Toad, and Peppy Hare. The series closely follows a team of space-trekking, anthropomorphic animal characters called " Star Fox" in space-based mercenary missions, within a star system called the Lylat System, in order to save their home planet Corneria from various antagonists. This series is one of Nintendo's few franchises that features full-voice acting and progressive plots. Each previously mentioned game's respective innovation was key to that game's success in the video game market. The series had been notable in Nintendo's gaming history, with games such as Star Fox being one of the earliest console video games with actual three-dimensional graphics, as well as being the first video game to use the Super FX chip, and Star Fox 64 being the first console game to support force-feedback technology. This series has often been generally categorized as a scrolling, third-person arcade shooter, although not every game necessarily had that as its main element of game-play. The series is based on a fusion of an experimental video game development from Argonaut Software and a kemono concept that was created by Shigeru Miyamoto.
