ABED'S UNCONTROLLABLE CHRISTMAS

IN THIS SPECIAL STOP MOTION ANIMATION EPISODE, THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS IS LOST AND ABED’S INTENSE FIXATION ON CHRISTMAS CONCERNS THE GROUP.

When Abed (Danny Pudi) wakes up in stop-motion animation, he takes it as a sign that he and the group must re-discover the meaning of Christmas. Meanwhile, Jeff (Joel McHale) and Britta (Gillian Jacobs) become growingly concerned about Abed's mental health and enlist the help of Professor Duncan (John Oliver). The group undergoes hypnosis to explore Abed's winter wonderland and soon unravel the truth behind Abed’s madness. Chevy Chase, Yvette Nicole Brown, Donald Glover, and Ken Jeong also star.

Community's Christmas show is in the style of the old 1960s and 1970s claymation with each toy character a good representation of the real characters. Abed is searching for the meaning of Christmas because even though he's a muslim he loves Christmas time. The whole gang follows Abed's on a Christmas adventure. I think they should have been a little faster to get to the wonderland planet but other than that it has the same quirky style that you're used to. Christmas classic? Not sure but it's classic Community!

Tiger Suit, her third studio album, was released October 5th and her rollicking first single "Fade Like A Shadow" is already a Top 20 hit at radio.

Who Let the Pups Out?

Brittany had a party with her friends testing out the hot new toys. They had a great time mixing and matching all the different pups and having their very own fashion show. It kept them busy for hours trying out new combinations and picking out which ones were the best. At the end of the party, the parents created their own creations and the girls voted for the best in show!

You can customize your Mix Pups by mixing and matching their detachable front and back legs, designer hair style pieces and clothing. To add to the fun and unique creation, dress up the designer pups with fashionable accessories for a perfect finishing touch. Multiple points of articulation enable girls to pose their pups in twenty different mix ‘n’ match combinations. And to extend the pup-play experience, girls can go online to the Mix Pups website — http://www.mymixpups.com/ — for interactive fun and games and opportunities to share fun videos of their own “Best of Show” puppies.

The new Mix Pups collection features sixteen individual collector puppies, including Roxy the Chihuahua, Annie the Bulldog, Lucy the Dalmatian, Chloe the White Poodle, Sophie the Silver Yorkie, Maddie the Dachshund, Sandy the Retriever, Amy the Boston Terrier, Molly the Cavalier, Daisy the White Terrier, CoCo the Chocolate Labrador, Shelby the Husky, Bailey the Beagle, Zoey the Pink Poodle, Sallie the Pink Pooch, and Susie the Gold Yorkie.

Each Mix Pup is numbered and comes with a personalized dog bed featuring the puppy's name on it and all include lots of accessories for designing fun. The Mix Pups collection from Jazwares also features plush puppies as well as a variety of engaging accessories and play sets to let girls pamper and play in a whole new way. The more Mix Pups girls collect, the more they can create!

Nature Valley National Parks Project

If you´ve ever taken a trip to a national park, you know that they are more than places of beauty - they are places that inspire us.

Since the dedication of Yellowstone as the world´s first national park in 1872, America´s parks have been visited by hundreds of millions of people who marveled at their beauty, found peace in their wildness and shared their experience with others.

However, these national treasures need care and support to help them flourish. Years of underfunding and environmental problems such as pollution and climate change are threatening our National Park system. To help preserve our national parks and ensure their existence for generations to come, join Nature Valley® and Patricia Shultz, internationally best-selling author of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die and travel industry leader, to help support the National Parks Project. This year, the National Parks Project will focus on restorative work at Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Biscayne National Parks.

To get involved, simply purchase a box of specially marked Nature Valley
Bars and mail in your wrappers to the address below:

National Parks Project
PO Box 450328
El Paso, TX 88545-0328

Nature Valley will not only recycle the wrappers, but will also contribute $0.10 to the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) for every wrapper received (up to $600,000 in total). To learn more about the National Parks Project and how you can make a difference, check out PreservetheParks.com today. And don´t forget to visit Nature Valley on Facebook or Nature Valley on Twitter to "Like" or "Follow" the brand. Facebook fans can enter to win a trip, as well as share photos and videos of their summer vacations. All of these sites will also feature updates on the restoration projects, as well as videos and pictures from "National Parks Project" volunteers.

There are many other ways you can enjoy the natural beauty and diverse wildlife of our national parks this summer while supporting the cause. The easiest thing you can do to support the national parks is to experience them for yourself and share them with your family - remembering as always to "take only pictures and leave your footprints." So grab your backpack, your boots and some granola bars and go soak in the scenery.

To help get you started, Nature Valley has provided me, through MyBlogSpark, a great Nature Valley prize pack with items that can be used in the great outdoors this summer to give away to one of my readers. Along with a box of great tasting Nature Valley granola bars, the prize pack will include a mini backpack; a military grade compass; a solar-powered, key chain flash light; a reusable water bottle and a copy of Patricia Shultz´s 1,000 Places to See Before You Die: A Traveler´s Life List.

In order to be entered, send me an email with what your favorite National Park is and why. I will randomly pick a winner from all entries on Sunday, September 19th. Good luck and enjoy the last weeks of summer!
