THEATER | Miracle on Christmas Lake at Yellow Tree Theatre: Osse-awesome! by Bev Wolfe, TC Daily Planet • When Osseo's Yellow Tree Theatre opened in 2008, a last-minute loss of rights to a different holiday play resulted in co-founder Jessica Lind writing the last-minute holiday play Miracle on Christmas Lake. The production is now in it's third year, and from the way the packed house enjoyed the latest performance of Miracle, it's likely to remain a holiday staple. DANCE | Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker lives up to its name by Betsy Gabler, TC Daily Planet • If you blinked, you missed the opportunity to see a two-night-only performance of a Christmas classic, The Great Russian Nutcracker. Like a melting snowflake, the Moscow Ballet moves in and out of towns throughout the United States during December to perform this very traditional interpretation. Bradlee Dean: Keith Ellison is advancing Sharia law through "homosexual agenda" by Andy Birkey, Minnesota Independent • Bradlee Dean of the religious ministry You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International believes Rep. Keith Ellison's support for LGBT rights is part of his strategy to bring Sharia law to the United States. On his radio show Saturday, Dean said that members of the LGBT community are fools for supporting Ellison and that the Minnesota Democrat is "adamant about overthrowing the United States Constitution." More farmers in trouble turning to U of M extension service for debt advice by Ashley Bray, Minnesota Daily • The current economic crisis has taken a toll on many in the state, and farmers are no exception. As a result of agricultural hardships and shifting consumer demand, the number of farmers reaching out to the University of Minnesota for help with their debt problems has risen. Salem + Lyndale + Brighton = Greenleaf by Phyllis Stenerson, Uptown Neighborhood News • Two Minneapolis churches and a local developer broke ground on Friday, November 19 for a new building at the northeast corner of 28th Street and Lyndale Avenue. In the process they celebrated a groundbreaking collaboration that benefits all parties and the larger community. NEW IN BLOGS OUTSIDE THE WALLS | Revisiting Woodstock, 1969 by Dick Bernard • I was 29 when Woodstock happened, and while certainly in the age range, I was about as far from the stereotyped Woodstock lifestyle as I was from it geographically - Minnesota to New York. It was a different world. JOHNNY NORTHSIDE | Street vendor license for Sandy's, home of the Knockout Dog by John Hoff • Sandy's, a food stand which often sets up shop in front of Cub Foods in North Minneapolis, has reportedly been granted a street vendor license by the City of Minneapolis and -- at some time in the foreseeable but more temperate future -- will be setting up shop in the vicinity of the Gay Nineties Bar in the Warehouse District. THE 58TH YEAR | Yesterday was a spirit bead for me by Steve Date • Many Native American cultures, including my mother's Anishinabe (Ojibwe) heritage, include a concept called the "spirit bead."

BLOG OF THE MODERATE LEFT | Papa do preach by Jeff Fecke • As you know, I've written many times about purity balls, and how decidedly creepy they are. There's just something horribly wrong about asking your daughter to pledge her virginity to you until she marries someone. It's creepy, and incestuous, and completely destructive to the idea that women are actual people with actual feelings about the world.
