There's a big, fat problem on the set of "The Biggest Loser" -- TMZ has learned nearly all of the remaining contestants have walked off the show and are threatening to quit after learning about a secret "twist" that could seriously affect their shot at the $250,000 grand prize.
Multiple sources connected with the show tell us ... the mutiny took place this week ... when the losers got word that producers were considering bringing back previous contestants to compete for the grand prize.
We're told most of the current contestants were pissed -- feeling it was unfair that prior losers would get a second bite at the apple ... so they banded together and decided to protest by walking off the show in the middle of shooting an episode.
Sources tell us ... show honchos have shut down production for at least a week while they figure out how to handle the situation.
A rep for NBC had no comment on the situation.
Let them walk..they have done nothing but stir up drama and forgot why they are on the ranch. So what Daphne kept to herself about eating..it was supposed to be that way. But NOOOO these people needed drama once again. Conda and Kim should of been tossed by producers weeks ago..especially Conda she is all drama and oh my gosh such a whiner. Let them all go and bring back all that were voted off..the show would be better and saved. Have another season like this one and this show will be over. Its supposed to be about motivating and inspiring people not all this drama.
Apparently some of you can't read. This is not Conda's season that walked out. That finished taping a while ago. This is the new season taping for this summer.
I say kick them all off!! Don't take threats from this group of bullies. I think we all would be happier if they would just scrap this season and start with a new group of contestants. Why do these guys have such a problem with people being brought back and given another chance? It's happened in previous seasons without such problems, whining, crying and drama.
I hope NBC will decide to bring on the people they are considering bring on and let these mean spirited people just go. This group of people are the absolute worst group of contestants I've ever seen since I started watching this show. I don't want to see any of them win and in fact I've been thinking about not watching this season because of their hatefulness. One reason I love this show is because of the love the contestants begin to show for each other and how they are so willing to help each other out. Everyone of these people (except for the lady that is married to Santa Claus)left on the show this season are just mean and hateful and they deserve to stay in the conditions they are in. How could anyone not want to see people that are trying to become healthy not want them to get better. It is just so sad to see such evil people.
After last night's show I'm don't watch the show anyway, I can't stand to watch conda....She should've been gone a long time ago. And To me the contestant are lose weight like previous seasons....
This is the worst season ever-- it's mean girls and don't know what kind of opportunity they have people. The show is missing Jillian. Some game playing is fun but this is beyond that and as a viewer it's not fun or interesting to watch--- toss all of them and bring back the people who got kicked off that want to be there.
I agree with #11 -- Get rid of the ones still there and bring back the ones that were sent home!!!!
I have wathced since day one and I have finally reached the end of my rope with the drama this year. Conda has completely ruined the show this year. Immature, spoiled, mean spirited behavior is what we are faced with each week. The way the people this year treat others is an embarrassment, and they get away with it! I am turning the channel until Conda is gone!!
They should consider themselves really fortunate to be able to partake of the program offered to them - and should work their butts off to express their humility and gratitude. They're put up at this "camp," fed, and have daily personal workouts with some of the best fitness instructors available FOR FREE. The prize should be a new body, not the cash - though that, of course, is nice too. What a bunch of spoiled entitled babies. Let 'em waddle off the show. There are hundreds who'd love to replace them.
think it has been stated by many BL fans that each and every season there has been some sort of comeback and twist. Its nothing new this season. They should just scrap this season and start fresh. Most of the people on the show dont deserve being there anymore.
Well. obviously none of them know how to be adults. An Conda is the one who needs to leave the show she is nothing but a child and obviously she is not ready to grow up and act her age, instead of her shoe size. As well as the rest of these litteral BIGGEST LOSERS THEY HAVE EVER FILLED THIS SHOW WITH! IT IS ALSO THE WORST SEASON I HAVE EVER SEEN!! HECK IF THESE GROWN ADULTS WANNA ACT LIKE THIS I SAY GET RID OF ALL CURRENT CONTESTANTS AND GIVE THE ONES WHO WERE ALL KICKED OFF THE REST OF THEIR GOALS ON THE SHOW AND FORGET THE REST OF THE LIL WHINEY TEMPER TANTRUM CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!! THIS SHOW IS MAINLY FOR GROWN UPS AND YOU LITTLE CHILDREN THAT ARE LEFT ON THE SHOW NEED TO GO BACK TO MOMMY AND DADDY AN LEARN TO PLAY NICE AND LEARN WHAT RESPECT AND MANNERS ARE. AN IF THEY WANT TO KEEP ACTING LIKE THIS THAN THE PRODUCERS BETTER GET THEIR HEADS OUT OF THEIR BACKSIDES AND BRING BACK THE ADULTS!! AN GET THIS SHOW BACK ON TRACK BEFORE THEY ALL HAVE NO JOBS TO GO TO!!!!!!!!!!
This won't be a huge loss considering this has not only been the season for No Excuses, but it has also been the season of no support; inspiration or actually wanting to watch the show.
bet it was conda that started the protest for them to all walk off the show!
Let them go! I am soooo tired of them! They have ruined the BL for me and my family!
If you got facebook, visit my page.... I dislike the biggest loser season 13.........

"It's not about the perfect song or a perfect show, it's about a perfect VIBE!" The House of Vibe embodies this truth. A group composed of talented producers, limitless lyricists, and gifted musicians whose combined talents lay a foundation, for nothing short, of musical excellence. Their frequent live shows are always electrifying and genre-less. Complete with horn section, non-stop rhythmic sounds and hard-hitting beats, House of Vibe, journey's through rock, jazz, hip-hop and R&B with creative ease. All the while keeping the crowd jumping. Whether you're a first time viewer or devoted follower, every performance has a unique vibe. Excluding the fact that they don't rehearse, shows are kept cutting-edge through special guests, who amplify the already dynamic mix, and spontaneous experimentation.
It all began in a house in Culver City where Anthony "Brew" Brewster lived, worked and played. His home recording studio was a hub for such recording artists as Kanetic Source (Ozomatli), Deploi, Chali 2na (Jurassic5), Tony Tarasco (Orioles) and many more. His spot was quickly dubbed "the house" where folks, such as Res, DJ Dez, D-Break and Darius Rucker (Hootie & the Blowfish), would come to hang, record and "vibe" together…hence the name, House of Vibe. Since then, HOV has taken on many forms and a core conviction…music for them, about them, by them.
Subsequently, Brew (Fishbone/Untouchables), Fish (Fishbone), D-Break (Untouchables), DJ Dez (Slum Village) and Pocket (guitarist/Erykah Badu) of the House of Vibe crew were called upon frequently to play various gigs for major label recording artists such as Justin Timberlake, Everlast, De La Soul, Talib Kweli, Chali 2na, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Res, Nikka Costa, N'dea Davenport and others.
Stay on the look out for House of Vibe's new album this year. As well as, songs from Brew, an EP from Deploi and J-Swift, and more downloads from Free[w]ill.

Phil Harrison boasts PS3's progress
Phil Harrison has reassured us lately that more than 100 games are in development for the PS3. Not all are launch titles, of course.

Nation's Best: 8 State Fairs that Deserve a Blue Ribbon
It's fair time! As we mourn the end of summer, the nation's great state fairs give us something to look forward to in the fall. And we suggest getting out your calendars, because some of the best fairs are either under way right now or coming up soon. Here are the eight we feel deserve blue ribbons.
The Adirondacks 3 Ways: For Foodies, Culture Buffs, and Adventurers
As the largest state-run nature reserve in the continental United States, Adirondack Park offers plenty of opportunity for outdoor activities, from hiking and fishing in the summer months, to wintertime skiing. Even if you find yourself near one of the park's most popular resorts, Gore Mountain, outside of prime ski season, you'll find plenty of other attractions to keep you busy. Here's a sampling… Read more
The Ozarks: 3 Ways to Explore
The Ozark mountain range is so vast that it not only covers the southern half of Missouri, it also extends to Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. And even though it's referred to as mountains, the area is actually a plateau. Covering 47,000 square miles, the rugged Ozarks are filled with forests, and hiking trails, and beautiful views. Here are some ideas for exploring:
Provins: A Quick, Inexpensive Medieval Daytrip from Paris
Travelers looking to experience one of France's medieval towns often head to Chartres or, even further afield, Orleans in the Loire Valley. But for those visiting Paris, there's a more convenient option that's just an hour away by train: Provins. Once a center of commerce, this is a prime choice if you're looking for a picture of rural life and French history while still being able to get back to Paris for an evening out. Read more
9 Pop Culture Museums Worth the Drive
The movies we watch, the toys we play with, the fun foods we eat — these elements of every day life and entertainment define every society's culture. To celebrate the American way of life this summer, take a day trip to one of these seven pop culture museums worth the drive.
Memorable & Affordable: 5 One-of-a-Kind Vacation Rentals
It's no surprise that vacation rentals have stolen the hearts of savvy travelers everywhere. Great savings, extra amenities, even the chance to get some local advice…what's not to love? The fact that HomeAway has hit one million listings — making its inventory almost twice the size of other similar companies — just comes to show how this once-alternative means of accommodation is going mainstream. To celebrate, we've rounded up five affordable rentals that you can book this summer and beyond, for a taste of something different:
1. Santa Teresa, Costa Rica: $80/night
For the design enthusiast, this Costa Rican rental delivers on one-of-a-kind digs with a futuristic, geodesic design. Sleeping four to five with two bedrooms spread over two floors, this villa is less than a five-minute walk to Santa Teresa Beah and the area's shops and cafes. We recommend getting out early to beat the heat, then settling in for an afternoon siesta if the rain hits. And, don't worry, the AC units are well-equipped to keep you cool. 4-night minimum.
Foodie Friday: The Florida Keys
Last month we introduced you to some of the Florida Keys' local characters and their tips for visiting the area. If you follow their suggestions for ghost tours, paddleboarding, making new friends in local bars, and more, you'll likely work up an appetite. Here are some of the best place across the Keys to fill up on brunch, seafood, and, of course, Key lime pie. Read more
Inspired Travel: Poland's Wine Country
Tucked into the 350 miles that separate Warsaw and Berlin, the Lubuskie region is the unofficial capital of Poland's small but growing wine production. It's the largest of Poland's three main wine-growing areas, just over three hours from Warsaw and two from Berlin via train. Thanks to the location's accessibility, the region is a long but possible day trip. It sees few American visitors, despite its convenience and proximity to other popular destinations, but we hope that changes soon. It'd be a shame to miss out on what may be one of the wine world's best-kept (and utterly idyllic) secrets.
How to: Pick a Travel Companion
Choosing the right travel companion can make or break your trip. The next time you're planning a vacation, keep these five tips in mind.
Spend the Night at These 3 Upstate New York Farms Under $125
New York City may be at its most appealing in the summertime (picnic in Central Park, anyone?) – but that doesn't mean you can't justify a long weekend in the country. Even if you're not quite cut out for life in the stables, that fresh air is bound to do you good. Here, three upstate farm B&Bs for an affordable escape from the hustle and bustle:
5 Iconic Trips on Route 66
One of the nation's first highways, Route 66, will be getting a modern new addition: a $1 million roadside park in Springfield, Missouri, which will commemorate the road's history. Though portions of the nearly 90-year-old Route 66 are no longer passable, it still stands as an important monument to cross-country travel in the U.S. by car. Featuring replicas of landmarks, old fashioned fueling stations, and a history plaza, the first phase of the Birthplace of Route 66 Roadside Park will be complete in August. In the meantime, we've rounded up a few of our favorite ways to enjoy what remains of Route 66:
Seeing Red: Where to Stay and What to See in St. George, Utah
They say idleness is the mother of all vices – so it's a good thing we had so much to keep us busy during a recent jaunt through rural southern Utah. Heading for St. George, a small, oft-overlooked town in the state's bottom-left quarter that's just under two hours from Vegas, we packed in a full three days of hiking, kayaking, outdoor yoga, and even a little art gallery browsing. And the best part: We even had time left over for some poolside lounging. Here's how you can do it, too:
Drive or Fly? A Look at 3 Popular U.S. Getaways
With Memorial Weekend approaching, we decided to tackle a classic debate holiday travel debate: For your next getaway, should you drive or fly?
The convenience of flying outweighs the stress of driving for some travelers, especially if they have to spend more than an hour or two on the road. Then again, we all know how pricey flying can be, and that's before you even consider the hassle of security lines and getting to the airport. Beyond this, it's also important to consider whether you'll need (or want) to use a car when you reach your destination.
Here, we take a few of the most popular vacation routes and weigh the pros and cons of driving or flying.
Inspired Travel: Cliffside Camping & More in Colorado
Talk about elevated views. We thought Canada's Glacier Walk was exhilarating, but a new program in Colorado is taking daredevil adventures to new heights. Kent Mountain Adventure Center is helping visitors camp out up to 500 feet off – not on – the side of a cliff near Estes Park.
Here's how it works: Groups of one to three can choose from three elevations of 100, 300, or 500 feet. You'll learn beginner-friendly climbing basics for getting there, then help your guide set up a "portaledge" to hang over the side of the cliff, overlooking the mountains of the Roosevelt National Forest. Stay for a few hours and enjoy lunch, or even stay overnight. While the platform doesn't have a railing, not to worry – you'll be tethered the entire time, and your guide will be nearby in case you need help. Lunch and overnight rates are, respectively: $500 and $1,000 for one; $400 and $800 per person for two; and $300 and $600 per person for three.
Of course, you don't have to be a fearless thrill-seaker to enjoy the great outdoors in Estes Park. Just a 90-minute drive from Denver, the region offers endless outdoor activities. Here's what else you can do in Estes Park this summer:
On your next trip to Costa Rica, do yourself a favor and venture outside of the city of San José, where most flights into the country disembark. On a recent trip, we headed 60 miles northwest of the capital in search of dense rainforest hikes, relaxing thermal spas, and the "frog walk," a guided tour by Arenal Oasis Wildlife Refuge where you look for 25 indigenous species. On top of that, we hiked, zip-lined, and bathed under a crashing waterfall. See the full slideshow here.

With near 2800 routes in a fairly compact area, Finale Ligure is the crown jewel of rock climbing on the Italian Riviera.
Gorgeous limestone, fun, fantastic routes at all grades, multi pitch, single pitch, pockets, edges, roofs, tufas, this area has a great deal of climbing to offer all with a near year round climate. Spring and fall are the prime times, winter and summer can be doable.
Gear should include a 60m rope, but, a 70m will prove more useful. A set of a dozen draws and a few cams/nuts will suffice for a variety of the climbing. Some of the longer, older routes benefit from a more traditional approach…(!).
The Club Alpino Italiano's Finale Ligure section is located in Finalborgo. Hospitable folks and a good source for information on the area.
Rockstore in the walled city of Finalborgo is the climbing shop with plenty of guidebooks, shoes, chalk, draws, rope and a good selection of clothing. Across the square is the Bar Centrale which has great gelato, espresso, and adult beverages to round out the day. Several excellent restaurants nearby as well.
Other activities would have to include mountain biking which is very popular here.
Getting There
From whatever starting point, the main road passing through the area is the A10 motorway.

Dis-entanglement Simulators

What if your needs are for a permanent simulator. Well those are not difficult either. Just take a look at the simulator used at Massachusetts Firefighting Academy. It is designed to be stored up against the wall. During specific exercises the instructor can easily lower it to the floor and you now have changed the scenario instantly. The simulator is nothing more than a frame with a legs on one side and the other side secured to the wall on hinges to facilitate the movement from stored to being in active use. Again this simulator can be utilized at the three difficulty levels mentioned earlier.
Training with the Simulator
The object of this is not to have the student cut their way through, but to have them attempt to get through without becoming tangle. One area that has been reciprocated time and time again in evaluating firefighters is the ability to know and work with their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). If the student becomes tangled in the simulator they should manipulate their PPE. The most come piece of PPE that becomes tangled on wires is the SCBA. The firefighter should remove or doff the SCBA and untangle the entrapment hazard and move to safety. Once at a safe location, free of entanglement hazards, the Firefighter will then don the SCBA. This exercise can be administered in 3 levels of difficulty. The low difficulty level is in a lighted atmosphere without any visual imparities. Moderate Level is done with visual impairments such as darkness or non-toxic training smoke. The Hardest level we add the external factor of heat to the moderate level. A kerosene torpedo heater in area can raise the temperature considerably to simulate the effects of fire without the extreme risks or the toxic smoke.
Students should always begin at the lowest levels and work up. The mastery of self-survival skills is imperative to the survival of firefighters.

In the fights with western Indians, the U.S. Army
was able to employ artillery very rarely, for the simple reason that the Indians refused to concentrate or stay put long enough for it to be
used The narrowness of the conditions under which artillery is
genuinely lethal were well observed by a party of Sioux visiting
Washington, D.C. in 1870. To emphasize the White Fathers might,
government officials took them to see a huge coastal artillery gun
firing into the Potomoc. The Sioux were unimpressed: it was a monstrous
weapon, all right, but nobody with any brains would sit on his pony in
front of it.
Lawrence H. Keeley, War Before Civilization
November, 16 M1-A1 Abrams tanks were brought to Helmand Province. Now,
the Afghan National Army has asked for armored personnel carriers and
according to President Hamid Karzai, theyre getting them.
heavy weapons are not going to help us or the ANA win the war. In fact,
they are more likely to accelerate the losing of the battle with the
Taliban. American officers training the ANA whom Ive
spoken with in the course of seven embeds in Afghanistan all but
unanimously think that the ANA ought to be a light, maneuverable force
like the enemy it faces. Rather than tanks or APCs, they need light
all-terrrain vehicles that can go up the almost ubiquitous rugged
mountains of the region.
Its bad enough that
American troops are all but imprisoned in their MRAPs and other large,
cumbersome vehicles that break in rough terrain. If the ANA follows our
lead, they will face our problems: vulnerable to mines, confined to
level terrain, lacking in situational awareness and access to the local
One of the young officers Ive come to
know through embeds in Khost and Zabul, Major Derrick Hernandez, has
experience working with the Afghan police and army in both provinces. He comments,
We need to be careful on how we train and shape the Afghan Security forces. We need to ensure that we areleaving the Afghans with a sustainable military and police force. If we create a mirror image of our Infantryunits, then our weaknesses (IEDs, VBIEDs, an isolated populace that allows the enemy to move undetected, predictable patterns, etc) will ultimately become the Afghan Security Forces weaknesses. The Afghans strengths are their mobility, they can drive with Ford Rangers and motorcycles exactly where the Taliban stage and operate out of,
they are not as confined to roads as the US Army.
the 68-ton Abrams tanks will be used to provide overwatch for American
ground troops they have a 12,000-foot range for their 120 mm guns as well as to destroy houses packed with explosives by insurgents. At 26
feet long and 12 feet wide, the Abrams can only be used on Afghanistans plains and deserts, and it is being
employed by the Marines in Helmand because the terrain is appropriate. But apart from the psychological effect of tanks on the Afghan people,
there is a very real issue of what the Abrams deployment says about the war. The point was to avoid getting into a situation where we are
killing our way out of a counterinsurgency. There were no tanks in
Afghanistan in 2003, when I was able to travel alone on local buses
across broad stretches of Afghanistan that are now deemed unsafe.
The embrace of heavy, Fulda Gapstyle armaments at this stage in the war is a sign of conceptual exhaustion. We can and must do better.

Accretive agrees to $2.5M fine; company to withdraw from MN
Minnesota Public Radio, July 31, 2012
Fairview Health Service's former bill collector, Accretive Health, has agreed to pay a $2.5 million fine and leave the state as part of a settlement of a federal lawsuit brought by Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson. A federal judge approved the settlement late Monday. The settlement requires Accretive to do several things: Create a patient restitution fund of nearly $2.5 million, with any funds remaining going to the state treasury. Hand over all data about Minnesota patients to the Twin Cities that contracted with Accretive. Wind down operations in Minnesota by November and stay away for six years unless the attorney general approves.

Winterizing your Palm Tree
If you are growing your palm tree in pots you can easily grow them indoors over the winter months. Be sure to give them as much light as is possible inside your home and keep them a little on the dry side. If you do not have room for them inside of your house but you have a cool garage or shed, you can easily store them inside of it over the winter. If they are planted in your garden here are 4 ways to keep them safe over winter.
Chicken Wire Method | Christmas Light Method | Water Pipe Instulation Medthod | Heat Tape Method
Winterizing using the Chicken Wire Method
Do not cut back the leaves or cut down the palm. Place 4 stakes about 3 ft apart in a square pattern, leaving the palm in the center. Place 1 to 2" chicken wire or fencing wire around the posts forming a 3ft x 3ft square basket. The chicken wire should be about 3 to 4 ft high. Fill this basket with leaves until full. Now the palm tree is protected from the hard winter frosts but is still able to breathe properly on those nice sunny winter days. Early March is a great time to remove the leaves and your basket and the palm tree is ready to grow.
Winterizing using old fashioned Christmas lights
The leaves can take frost up to minus 10C, if colder weather is expectedd the simplest way to protect the leaves is tying them together in one tall bundle and then wrapping the bundle with one string of old fashioned Christmas lights. When the lights are turned on the heat of the bulbs is enough to protect your tree. Don't use the new LED lights, though. old fashioned Christmas lights are what we're looking for here because all of that "lost" electricity is actually turned into heat.
Winterizing using the Water Pipe Insulation Method
Cover the soil above the Palm trees with mulch to protect the roots from hard freezes. Wrap the center spear and the first three to six leaves with water pipe insulation. Be sure to fold the top over to make sure that no water gets inside the insulation. In the spring remove the plastic and mulch and watch it grow back very quickly.
Winterizing using Heat Tape Method
1) Pull up the fronds and tie them back. A rope or strong string is all that is needed to tie them back.
2) Wrap a heat tape (they can be purchased at any building supply store) around the trunk- starting from the base of the plant - leaving the thermostat out at the bottom of the trunk. Make sure to wrap around the entire trunk up to and including the top of the trunk where the fronds are attached. A palm with a 4' tall trunk should have a 15' long heat tape to protect it
3) Wrap the trunk with 3 to 4 layers of burlap making sure to tie it back with duct tape. Make sure that the thermostat for the heat tape is on the outside of the burlap. Wrap the whole trunk including the fronds.
4) Once the trunk has been wrapped with burlap, re-wrap the trunk with plastic or shrink wrap (shrink wrap is the easiest to use and can bought at any stationary store). Make sure to wrap the entire palm including most of the fronds.
5) Once all of the above steps have been completed then plug the heat tape in and you are ready to go. The tape will only work when the temperature drops below freezing and will be enough heat to protect your palms for the winter months.
Caution: Make sure to plug only into a ground fault receptacle and to only wrap your palms before the cold weather begins (in Vancouver this is usually the middle of November) and remove it just before the weather warms up (in Vancouver this would be February). If the wrapping is left on to long you risk rotting the plants in the warmer weather of spring.

Okay, so some of you actually bore witness, to your extreme chagrin, of my attempt to solve our qb problem once and for all. My all qb mock was insane! Stupidly, stupidly insane.
my challenge to everyone is as follows:
1) Complete a mock draft at first-pick.com for the Minnesota Vikings. This site gives us grades and comparable scores, so we can see who is awesome and who is not!
2) Draft only quarterbacks.
3) at the end of your mock you are allowed ONLY seven qb's, Thus only seven players. No other positions are allowed.
4) in the comment section copy and paste your mock with your score.
The highest score gets our eternal admiration. Lowest will have to endure a lifetime of ridicule and shame. Much, much shame!
This is extremely difficult. Don't expect a good score, unless of course you know something I don't! Good luck everyone, you're going to need it.
Here is my draft. I am actually very happy with this.
Your score is: 2367 (Drafting Ability: F, Player Quality C+, Future Draft Picks: N/A)
Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 7 (T.B.): Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M (A-)
Round 3 Pick 8: Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Eastern Illinois (A)
Round 4 Pick 25 (S.D.): Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia (C)
Round 5 Pick 25 (S.D.): David Fales, QB, San Jose State (C)
Round 6 Pick 8: Brett Smith, QB, Wyoming (C-)
Round 6 Pick 25 (S.D.): Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson (F)
Round 7 Pick 8: Casey Pachall, QB, TCU (F)
I would advise everyone not to not to bother with Tajh until the seventh round at the earliest. In fact, don't even draft him at all. Have fun!

"Shay is definitely the best Kindermusik teacher we've ever had. She engages the children in a way that makes them feel comfortable and at ease. Her love of music is contagious and she just makes you want to smile, sing and dance! My daughter has gained so much from her weekly class with Shay. She LOVES listening to the cd's in the car and when we get home, it's so cute to see her take what she learned in class and do it on her own. I would highly recommend any Kindermusik class, but it really is the teacher that makes the experience that much greater and there is no better teacher than Shay."

Thank you so much!!!

"My 11-month old son and I are now pursuing our second Kindermusik series with Shay. Our first was for six weeks and we're now working on a 15-week set. As a dad in the course, Shay has been nothing but friendly and welcoming, making me feel very comfortable in the class. Each class consists of a mixture of songs, dancing and instruments, a mixture of wonderful musical learning opportunities and my son just loves it. I can tell that Shay is very comfortable with leading groups of children, as well as their parents, and is highly-skilled in her musical ability. I drive 30-40 minutes to get to Shay's class, and it's totally worth it. Kindermusik With Shay receives my highest recommendation."

Jason K.

Gig Harbor, WA

"I have taken Kindermusik classes from three different people and Shay is by far the BEST! She is very organized and ready for class. It is very obvious that Shay loves kids-she is more than willing to play/sing with your child if they want to go to her, which mine does frequently! She has a wonderful voice and knows the songs well. If you are looking for something to do with your child that is fun and educational Kindermusik with Shay is the perfect thing for you!"

Jodi H.

University Place, Washington

"Shay is truly one in a million and a fabulous teacher! She has so much passion for music and kids, and it shows in her teaching style and techniques. With her warm heart and welcoming personality you will certainly never be disappointed in her Kindermusik classes. I enrolled my daughter into a Kindermusik class at just 7 weeks never expecting to gain so much in return. We love to come to class to learn and play, and we listen to all of the songs at home. It is truly amazing to see my daughter recognize these songs after just a short period of time. Kindermusik is by far our FAVORITE activity and it is all due to Shay. I highly recommend this activity for your family."

Ring that may have inspired Tolkien goes on show
LONDON (AP) - Could a Roman gold ring linked to a curse have inspired J.R.R. Tolkien to create The One Ring?
Britain's National Trust and the Tolkien Society are putting the artifact on display Tuesday for fans of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" to decide for themselves whether this was Tolkien's precious ring of power.
Found in a field near a historic Roman town in southern England in 1785, the gold ring is inscribed in Latin, "Senicianus live well in God," and inset with an image of the goddess Venus. It is larger than average, weights 12 grams, and is believed to date from the 4th century.
The ring is believed to be linked to a curse tablet found separately at the site of a Roman temple dedicated to a god named Nodens in Gloucestershire, western England. The tablet says a man called Silvianus had lost a ring, and it asks Nodens to place a curse of ill health on Senicianus until he returned it to the temple.
An archaeologist who looked into the connection between the ring and the curse tablet asked Tolkien, who was an Anglo-Saxon professor at Oxford University, to work on the etymology of the name Nodens in 1929.
The writer also visited the temple several times, and some believe he would have been aware of the existence of the Roman ring before he started writing "The Hobbit."
"The influences most often cited for Tolkien's creation of The One Ring usually take the form of literary or legendary rings," said Lynn Forest-Hill, education officer for the Tolkien Society.
"It is, then, particularly fascinating to see the physical evidence of the (ring), with its links to Tolkien through the inscription associating it with a curse," she said.
The gold ring is displayed at The Vyne, a historic mansion in southern England, starting Tuesday.

This year I has the privilege to attend two Galas to celebrate student achievement: an Athletic Banquet and an Extra-Curricular Gala.
The Athletic Banquet invited all of the student athletes, their coaches and other staff members who made the seasons possible (secretaries, etc.) to a dinner and awards evening. The evening started with dinner, whole team awards, followed by individual awards and concluded with a video made by the yearbook class showcasing moments throughout the seasons.
The Extra-Curricular Gale invited all of the students who participated in an extra-curricular activity (clubs, sports team, volunteering, etc.) for an evening of awards and dancing. The evening began with a welcome with dinner, whole team/club appreciations, followed by dessert, individual awards and then of course the dance.
The best part of the Athletic Banquet was how formal and professional it was. The way it was organized really gave a 'classy' edge to the event. Speeches for award winners reminded me of big award shows and it truly made a special moment for those winners. More than this, the points system for student involvement in sports was also a great way to see the number of students involved in more than 1 sports team throughout their high school career. Each "level" of points were called up and you could see a variety of grades, ability levels and social groups coming up for each level. But here, we only saw the achievements of our athletes and their teams; what happens to those students who may not be the best at a sport? What about our student's multiple intelligences and different learning styles?
At the start of the event, I had two students come up to me as they were having difficulty finding a table to sit at (it was first come first serve). Many students from their sports team did not come to the banquet and they felt alone. Luckily, we found a couple open seats with some students who welcomed them in. This was not evident in the Extra-Curricular Gala.
At the Gala there was such a variety of students. This next part may sound stereotypical, but it is the best way to explain my point. In attendance you had your band members, who performed throughout the evening, the sports teams who brought banners to their school this season, the Student Council, the yearbook club, the drama club, the hockey team, the curling team, the MAGIC club and so many other students who fit into different extra-curricular activities. The evening was about community and celebrating the success as a school.
There were great awards given to students based on extra-curricular activities, sports contributions and leadership. When it came to the speeches, I felt that the recognition for those students got lost in either humour or unrelated information. Not all presenters wrote a speech for the award winners, some had the award winners come up and speak on their behalf. It just seemed to miss that aspect of formality and celebration for that student's achievement.
So why can we not have an evening that celebrates all of the extra-curricular activities at school and showcases all student achievement? Why does Athletics need to have an evening all to themselves? How great would it be to award points to students based on their participation of all extra-curricular activities and showcase how much these students give back to their school? Why not have a formal evening for awards and special achievements, but end the evening as one community who appreciates all of their members?
I do not have answers to any of these questions, but I would love to see an evening from both of these events merged. One that balances individual achievement with community contributions and that allows all students to be recognized for their participation in all extra-curricular activities.
What does your school's Year End Banquet or Gala look like? What is the message it sends to our students about what activities are the most important/recognized?

The Dylan Dog Case Filesby Tiziano Sclavi
Staff Pick
Witty, macabre, and hopelessly romantic, Dylan Dog is a page-turner of a classic, now finally available in graphic-novel format. But consider yourself warned: This Italian comic will probably keep you from doing anything responsible until you've finished the case.
Dylan Dog does a great job of rolling up elements of the macabre, humor, and romantacism into one classic Italian comic book rich with cinematic undertones. Dylan himself is based on Rupert Everett, while his comedic sidekick is a Groucho Marx impersonator. Once I picked this up I was hooked. Unfortunately, only seven stories have been translated into English while there are over 200 issues in Italian.

Publisher Comments:
Nightmares can't hurt you. There's no such thing as the walking dead. Monsters are all in your imagination. We tell ourselves these things to make us feel safe at night, to give us strength against the unknown. But there are things in the dark that can hurt us. Just ask Dylan Dog. An ex-cop who now battles against evil as a "nightmare investigator," Dylan Dog is unlike any private eye you've ever met. If creatures from beyond the unknown are after you, and if you can hire him, he just might save your life.
