Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Nb: infants must be under the age of 2 and
children must be under the age of 12 at the time of
The Chalet Elan has an enviable location just 70m from a green run, so even beginners will be able to ski from the door within days. This green run leads to the Plantrey lift whisking skiers above the main lift system at La Croisette, thus avoiding the busy resort centre. The chalet Elan benefits from an inviting large lounge and dining area with country character features such as the beamed ceiling, a striking log fireplace and slate floors.
The generously sized, comfortable bedrooms with warm wood panelling are spread over two floors, all with en suite facilities, the majority of which are being renovated over the summer for our guests. The renowned après-ski of Courchevel 1850 is an easy 5-7 minutes' stroll away in the resort centre and must certainly be experienced at least once during your stay! The owners live on the upper two floors of the building, sharing the main entrance to the chalet with our guests.
Ground Floor:
External ski storage locker. Main entrance leading to small hall with heated boot room. Lounge/dining area with fireplace and separate kitchen.
Room 1: Double with bath/wcRoom 2: Twin with bath/wcRoom 3: Twin/child triple with bath/wcRoom 4: Twin with bath/wc
First Floor:
Room 5: Double with bath/wcRoom 6: Twin with bath/wcRoom 7: Twin/triple with shower/wcSuite 8: Two separate rooms: a double room and a small bunk room (offset bunk beds) sharing shower/wc.Note: The third bed in room 2 and the bunks in Suite 8 are suitable for under 12's only
For six days of the week the staff prepares all your meals.
Breakfast: We pride ourselves on giving you a great breakfast to start your day, with a choice of cereals, fresh fruit and juices, yoghurts, plentiful English tea and good filter coffee, bread freshly baked in our chalets each morning, cold meats, cheeses and preserves, and boiled eggs. This is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. And to cap it all, we also cook a hot dish of the day for you six days per week, such as sausage and bacon or pancakes with fresh fruit, individually served. On the chalet hosts' day off, they will prepare a Continental style breakfast for you, which will be left for you to help yourselves, and that evening you have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants – our resort team will be happy to provide some suggestions. In our Chalet Hotels, a full buffet breakfast (including hot option) is also served on the staff's day off.
Afternoon Tea: The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff's one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. Children's High Tea: In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children's tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner. Families staying in one of our Chalet Hotels may choose to eat separately (High Tea at 5:30pm) or all dine together at the later adult dinner time if children who have received a child discount pay the meal upgrade charge at the time of booking only.
Dinner: A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host - or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets - and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.A special feature of our Chalet Hotels is a more extensive culinary experience for our guests. With the greater kitchen facilities of a hotel, our professional chefs are able to offer choices of menu at dinner, generally including lighter as well as more hearty options, and always a vegetarian choice for each course. Guests will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a varied daily selection. Vegetarian options are always on our 'Culinary Choice' menu in our Chalet Hotels, and are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance.

Secret, UK. "This is from a session back in the winter. A big raucous westerly swell, and the winds to match it, meant that some shelter was the only option for a wave. This fickle cove has the potential for some big hollow lumps, but the direction wasn't quite right so things were pretty chaotic in there. Throw in some heavy rain and it wasn't ideal for photos. Luckily the elements all aligned for this shot, the skies cleared for five minutes, this set rolled in at the perfect angle for the low tide bank and Jobe Harris happened to be in the right spot to take full advantage of this beauty, one of the best rights I saw all winter!" © 2014 Andy Ford
Casino Pier, New Jersey © 2014 Ben Currie
Padang Padang, Bali. "One year ago I shot Padang, the lineup was packed with photographers and the vibe was bad. 12 months later, the lineup was still packed, but the vibe proved me wrong. It's possible to shoot with a lot of guys and have a good time. Thank you Trevor Murphy, Rafa Ramos, Junior Enomoto, Dobby, Ricardo Estevez, and all the others I don't know the names of, for such a great day."© 2014 diogodorey
Desert Point, Lombok. "I took this amazing view from the cliffs above when there was a huge swell."© 2014 Shogo
Cloudbreak, Fiji. "That swell was really messy as the winds were stiff from the south which puts a strange cross-offshore wind on the face. The swell was shifty about 4-6 feet but nobody was finding any gems. Our boat had spent the morning at Restaurants surfing small but clean conditions and headed to Cloudbreak to check it out before heading home for the day. I saw JJ attempt a couple of double ups and just get bounced on the chop and drilled. Right before we spun the boat to leave I saw JJ paddle for a wedgy one and I grabbed the camera just in time to rattle off about 10 shots. The photo makes it look pretty fun, but it was tricky! I don't think anyone else was getting pitted like this that day!"© 2014 Stuart Johnson
Near Whangamata, New Zealand. This day was at a kinda secret spot up the coast. It only breaks maybe three times a year as it has to be giant to get into this sheltered bay. 4-5 metres on the exposed coast and it will be 2-4ft here. It breaks really close to the shore and is always hollow when it breaks.© 2014 Digga
South Narrabeen, News South Wales.I was actually a bit out of position for this. The captain had just paddled past me and was about 30m away when he suddenly turned and went. I was caught off guard, and almost underneath him , but he picked a sick line and I was able to get a few shots off, this being the last of the sequence. I would like to say I was trying for this shot, but it's just the way the water parted around my big Aquatech dome port, and the 10mm fish eye managed to squeeze it all in. The captain does the swell report for Coastalwatch on the Northern Beaches and is a full hellman in his spare time, paddling and towing his way round Longy with Matty and TC. So it's good to finally get a good shot of his mug.
Rocky Point, Oahu. I woke up this morning and could hear the sets coming in from my bed. The swell arrived the night before and was already here. I sent the word over and we were ready before sunrise. We arrived at Rockies to find light winds and grinding lefts. This shot is of talented surfer, Brian Pollak, hacking out his first wave of the morning. Shot at 6:25am in the good morning light with my trusty 50mm.© 2014 Doug Falter
Chickens, Maldives. After a perfect sunrise session at Jails, the wind started blowing NW. "Perfect for Chickens!" I said during breakfast. Swell was head high to overhead and we decided to leave for the left hander at noon. We arrived with a bright sun over our heads, one guy in the water. Sets were overhead, wind was perfectly offshore, and after an hour the waves started to grow. Solid sets reached the reef and some crew from a safari boat joined us on the break. The barrels couldn't pass through empty, a few of the guys will always fit perfectly in those green rooms. As if it was a sinful action to let the barrels roll empty under that beautiful blue sky. Simply another perfect day in the Maldives.
Waimea Bay, Oahu. This was shot from the side of the road at Waimea Bay. Biggest swell of last year. This shot was taken on Dec 30 and the swell was 25ft at 18 seconds, or something ridiculous like that. No one was trying to surf the shorebreak because there was way too much power out there that day. The outside was barreling top to bottom, classic big Waimea with people on 11ft guns. The picture was taken around 3pm with the sun shining right through the barrel.© 2014 ThisIsDaniel
Jailbreaks, Maldives. Alarm clock set at five am. The night was windy and rainy, but my guests and I took the risk, knowing that the swell was probably still going to be pumping. We arrive at the break, after a five minute walk, with the sun still to rise completely. Perfect off shore wind, clear sky and clean overhead waves, with bigger sets peeling in front of us and magical contrasts of light. No one on the line up. One hour for ourselves and the other two hours spent in the water sharing the moment with other five surfers. No doubt one of the best ways to start a day. "
"What the surfers see from the break is the jail of the island . The rehab centre is right behind it. Can't really see it from the waves. It is not a high security prison, but it is monitored with guards in all its area. From our surf house you are allowed to walk on the border reef of the jail to reach the break (most of the time they allow only people who are caring a surfboard). The locals made a path for the surfers so that they wont walk the wrong way. Most of the guards are friendly, they want just to be sure that they can keep their area safe and secure. Nothing against surfers.
Deal, New Jersey. "This day I ran down to the ocean when I saw the waist high shorebreak coming through. This was probably the second or third wave I shot right when I got it. It was a fun session, but nothing special."© 2014 Connor Haplin
La Graviere, France. "I've travelled to France to take photos of the QuikPro and RoxyPro. When I shot this, the forecast said 4-6 feet of swell which is awesome for La Graviere. Also the tide was coming back up at this time, giving the waves some more power. I was hoping that lots of the RoxyPro girls would be there, but I didn't see many of them. Luckily I spotted Bianca (Buitendag) and a few more. The swell wasn't very consistent, and the surfers found it hard to do much. In this shot Bianca beat the guys to the take-off, and got off to a good start, but she soon realized the wave would close, and she ejected, quite gracefully too. I used my infra-red converted camera here. It gives quite a nice and dramatic contrast in these kinds of light conditions."© 2014 Mattias Hammar
Le Penon, France. "This was taken late on the first day of the Roxy Pro. The tide was high and the swell offered really nice rights. As the sun got lower, I positioned myself to hopefully get the surfers between me and the sun. Coco was really nice to grant my wish, and gave me a backlit spray on a decent size wave."© 2014 Mattias Hammar
Lacerations, Nusa Lembongan. Balinese surfer, Made Artah duck diving at one of Indonesia's most treacherous reefs.© 2014 Nobu Fuku
Sultans, Maldives. "After three windy weeks on the Maldivian breaks, finally glassy days arrived. Perfect conditions, sunny, with blue skies covering our heads. Couldn't wait to get my housing set up and shoot in such clear waters. A swimming pool wouldn't be as clear I guess. I spent more time taking shots underwater than on the surface. Simply irresistible! I noticed that I was not alone under the waves. A Giant Trevally, a couple of Black Tip sharks, lots of species of smaller fish, and that one friendly turtle who was feeding from the reef, and who was not afraid of my presence at all. She "posed " for me for a few shots. On this one in particular I got really lucky. I was waiting for an underwater take-off shot, and there she swam perfectly at the right spot at the right time, giving the impression to be interested on the fins of the board cutting the water. Couldn't ask for more from Mother Nature that day! Blessed."© 2014 Giorgio Rollo

Aw, congrats to Jesi and yay for the new kitty!
I'm sure some people probably think she's too young, but whatever. I know Rich & I had a real thing when we were young and to see her with him...well, he's a good kid. I can't help but love him and Rich does too. Why wait? Maybe it won't be a 'forever' thing, but no one has that guarantee no matter how old they are. If they're happy, then that's all I care about.
Wow, that's big news! Congrats to Jesi.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
No pic of the kitty?
I think you have the right attitude about Jesi's engagement.
Weellll...I was bad & didn't take any pics. There's this one from the ad I responded to
He's a cuddle-bug. He's a big boy and the first thing he wanted to do was eat. I couldn't get his food open fast enough. He got into Missy's food not even 5 minutes after being at our house. This morning he came right out as soon as I got up to remind me of his presence. And probably to remind me to feed him because he buried his head in his bowl as soon as I fed him.

I'm a sucker for orange kitties
I think that's a good attitude about Jesi as well. Bridget, did you get your wallet back?
I've been keeping up with reading this board, but haven't had a lot of time to post. Not a lot of time to do much of anything these days!
AKA Lisa724
Oh I love orange kitties too. My beloved Nelson was a big orange & white love kitty. He seriously was the coolest cat, he was very curious and friendly and so affectionate. I miss him. I adopted him when he was 6 months old from a vet clinic I was working in. I had always had tabby or calico cats before. If I ever have another cat I will look for a male orange cat
Congrats to Jesi.
Hello Christina!!
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
Congrats on the new kitty! If I ever had one, I would want a cuddly one. Unfortunately DH is highly allergic to them.
What is his name?
Yeah I don't know that I would be overly concerned about the engagement, especially a longer one. You can definitely find love young....my own parents were 18 and 21 when they got married. Next month it is 39 years.
And I got with DH when I was 19 and he was 21. Didn't get engaged for two years and than had a three year engagement as we were finishing college.
But the fact that she said after college....that sounds really positive that she's thinking about college.
that sucks about the water heater. By law the landlord should have to get that fixed though....I would think that would be in NY as it is in WI. I don't even know what kind of heater I have. Thinking it's probably gas. I know the dryer is gas but my stove is electric. LOL
Dh is dropping off my van right now. Still we are both seriously irritated with that.
Chrissy, that's awesome of you to take in kitty. He looks gorgeous, and from the sound of it, has moved in like he's always lived there. I also like your attitude about Jesi's engagement. I hope she follows through on the 'after college' part of it.
Jennifer, hope whatever ails your car is minor, and you'll get it back soon.
Chrissy, the kitty is soooo cute! What's his name? Did I miss that part? We used to have tons of cats growing up near farms and our first cat was an orange kitty named Morris. We mostly had smokey grey cats after that. I'd love a kitty one day again. Travis would love to have a pet; I just don't want the pet care duties right now.
And congrats to Jesi! I'm excited for her. I hope she does go to college and keeps making good choices!
Another pic of Tigger, this time at my house. I couldn't get one of him looking at me 'cause he objects to having his picture taken
Remember when I whined/vented about Conner expecting something every time we went in the store? He's gotten much better about that. It's funny how really not having any $ can do that.
Cute kitty! He looks like a tomcat we had for a while, years ago. My cat obsession got a little out of control back then and we had 6 cats at one point. (no judgement to anyone who has lots of cats and the ability to take care of them all but we had a small apartment and it was a little out of control) We left three of them with friends when we left Tennessee.
I'm glad Conner has gotten out of the habit of asking for something in stores. I'm still trying to get out of that. I'd tell him we have no money but he starts badgering me with questions: "Well how much money do you have with you? How much do you have in the bank? Can we go to the bank and get more money? How much money do we need to buy _________?" LOL
I love cats but hope to only have 1. I could see myself easily accumulating a lot more. My grandmother does...she takes in strays and has them spayed/neutered so often that the local vet cuts her a great deal. If I had to have one done now, I think I'd have her take it in for me
I know most of you have probably seen it, but I am just smitten with this little boy
He's so cute! He looks like an old man. (THE CAT! We posted at the same time. THE CAT looks like an old man!) Conner looks like a sweet little doll.
I always have to have a chat with my kids before we enter any store to tell them exactly what we are there for and that they are not to grab things off shelves or ask me to buy them things. I have to remind Kai about every 2 minutes in the store as well. Then he's like, "ARGHHH! Sorry Mom!" So he tries and that's all I can ask.
Homeschooling is going great. We usually do two formal lessons a day but they always take off from whatever we are doing and keep practicing whatever we were working on. I am using a waldorf style curriculum which uses stories and drawing for most lessons. So like today I used nuts from outside and squirrel puppets for Kai's math lesson. Before we started he was saying how bad he is at math and at the end he said, "I am GOOD at this!" lol I have their desks set up in the corner of the living room and they spend at least half the day there just by choice. Savana has gone from stomping around and arguing with everything I say to being an absolute dream. She does her chores every morning before she even comes to the breakfast table which a miracle in itself. It used to be an hour of crying just to get her to clean her room. She helps with Sawyer where she used to just cry about how much she hates having baby brother who messes with her stuff. I don't know if it's the act of homeschooling, the lack of the stress traditional school was putting on her, or just that she feels heard that I listened to her and pulled her out. Whatever it is, she is very content and that takes a huge burden off my heart let me tell you.
I love you guys for being so supportive in this. I'm not sure I'd have had the courage to pull them out and do it if y'all hadn't had my back.
Oh, btw, met Kai's new dr today. Don't love him as he was a little judgy judgerton about Kai not being circumsized but he ordered a fasting blood panel for us and took my concerns seriously so I'm going to stick with him until we get through that at least. Going to bring Kai in some morning this week anytime after 6am.
I never doubted for an instant your ability to homeschool your kids. Some people...meh, I sorta wonder how they pull it off but you're not one of them.
I cannot believe that dr had the audacity to judge you for that choice. Wow. It's 2012, fella. It's actually quite common for parents to choose to skip circing. In fact, if it were solely up to me I wouldn't have allowed it to be done to Conner. But Rich really pushed and against my better judgement I consented. When we got him back, both of us cried. Rich even regretted it. But what was done was done. I don't ever bring it up and I do think I made peace with that decision...I probably shouldn't blame Rich even here because I did agree with him at that time. It's one of my few regrets.
So happy you and the kids are happy Bridget! It really is a perfect fit for your family.
Chrissy, Connor sure is handsome. Such a cute smile
I so feel for ya concerning the circ too. I didn't want to, and dh wanted to, so I caved. I felt a lot of guilt for a long time. I would wake in the night and cry,and hope ds didn't hold it against me. It took awhile to forgive myself. Mothers guilt is terrible.
G & I spent hours today playing at a park, we met a family from Portsmouth England on holiday for 2 weeks. Their sons were 5 & 7 and the three boys were having a blast playing together. The couple said how wet and dreary the weather was in England this summer. They are enjoying the sunny weather here. The boys found the sprinklers and completely drenched themselves. Oh to be young again!!
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
How adorable! Connor and the kitty. Reminds me I promised Shelley a pic and haven't posted one. Since kitty only comes out at night (vampire kitty) I don't have good pics, but the ones they gave me before I adopted her are great. I'll post soon.
Bridget, I'm so glad you are homeschooling them. I agree with Chrissy that there are parents who probably shouldn't - but you can give your kids just what they need and as long as that is true, this is what is best for your family.
I suspect if I ever have a boy, he will be circed. Again, it is something DH wants and I just don't have the energy to fight. Sorry if that is awful but I know there will be plenty of times I will not "give" so I will give on that. Hope he appreciates it!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
he's pretty darn cute Chrissy!
Bridget so glad that the homeschooling is working so well so far for all of you. And at least this time it sounds like it's for a fasting panel. And really I think the doc still probably mostly sees circ'd boys....it's still more common to do it in the midwest than not.
those of you who did it, don't feel so bad! My cousin didn't have it done at birth (he is adopted so it wasn't my aunts choice). By a year old he was having so many issues that he HAD to have it done. They really tried to not have it done at that point, because really who wants to do surgery and anesthesia on a one year old. But he was still in foster care and the docs said if they didn't agree to it, it would have been reported to the state as abuse for not getting proper medical care. It was so much worse getting it done on an older baby.
We would like it done if we have a boy.....but we also might not get much say in the matter. I want a girl a bit more anyway so hopefully we don't have to even think about it or broach the topic.
So my van is leaking oil in a seam or something and basically to fix it they have to take the entire engine apart.....which means my van will be there at least a few days. they were surprised we caught it so quickly. Well it was pretty easy to see a wet area of oil on what was a pretty pristine garage floor.
Have you all seen the news about the spa mass shooting? I used to live within 10 minutes of there and shopped that mall frequently. Soon as they said the location, I knew the building in my head. They also did a lock down yesterday of the hospital I used to work at.....never experienced anything like that when i was there. Would be strange to be on lock down at work.
Josh is circed and we never really regretted it.
I did not hear about the shooting Jennifer. It's so unnerving to hear about local things like that.
Bridget, I try the little chats before going into stores. Actually I try not to take him to stores anymore. Now that I'm not working it's not hard for me to get it done. But I digress. Josh is the type of child who you can say to them "now we're not getting anything this time" and he will say "okay mommy" and 2 minutes later he's throwing a fit or running down the aisles because he wants something. I'm learning from this book on spirited children that they can be like that. I haven't gotten to the part on how to deal with it. LOL
What I do with Mira is to tell her we are not buying anything for her ahead of time (several times), but allow her to hold things or play with things while we are in the store, with the understanding that she can only have them while we are in the the store. And I do buy her small things as a surprise if she is well behaved, every once in a while. Variable reward reinforcement.
I also don't regret Ky's circ. I didn't want to do it but DH did and really, I don't think it is that much of a big deal and it is always amazing to me the amount of fervor that comes out here at APA when it is brought up out in the open lol. It is just amazing to me. I just don't think about penises that much.
I probably would have laughed and joked with that doctor too. And probably have asked, ummmmmm, why are you so concerned with my son's penis.......? That would probably shut him up. Ky had the plasti-bell thing done. I had never heard of it back then. And when it finally came off, I didn't know it was supposed to and I asked DH about it and he was all emotional and actually started crying saying he shouldn't have done it and how he broke it lol! That was the last time I've seen him cry. I think he had been drinking when that happened lol. After the little plastic thing came all the way off and it looked "normal" he was okay but kept checking on it and was really concerned for a couple weeks.
Luckily we never have the store buying thing happen. So glad Conner stopped Chrissy. That would be annoying. Ky used to flip out at stores but not usually about me not buying him things because we were poor when he was younger I guess and because I am just cheap and hardly ever buy the kids anything at the store so I just don't think it was something they ever expect. Josh is funny though with the money asking questions. Both Ky and Elle like to ask if we can go out to eat. I ask them "do you have some restaurant money?" And go on on how fun it will be for them to treat us to dinner at a restaurant. Elle always says "I have money. I have about twenty!" All excited, she has 20 pennies in her "special box." I tell her she needs 2000 pennies at least to get us a sandwich or a burger and so she says one day she will save that many but she doesn't think they will fit in her box and in the meantime "Mommy, can't you just use your card?" LOL It is hard to explain the card to her. For a while she thought all plastic cards could buy things and found an old insurance card and took it to the dollar store and wanted to buy some candy with it. That time I did buy her a laffy taffy because she was so disappointed that one had to have a debit card and not just any old card to buy things.
I also don't see circing or not as a big issue and wouldn't dream of trying to persuade someone one way or another. Luckily since dbf is not from the US, him Mom from Germany, it's not something he felt was "normal" and it was about a 20 second coversation for us.
That is a cute story about Elle. Kai is always trying to pay me for doing things for him stemming from a job chart I made a long time ago with money values for each thing we did. I wanted to teach them about money and it intilled in him a belief that if you give someone money they will do what you want! lol. He will come in the kitchen with his money jar and ask how much it would cost him to get me to make him some popcorn. lol
That's too cute! How much did you charge him?
When I was little I used to pretend to be a waitress and charge my parents for coffee and sandwiches. 5 cents for a cup of coffee, 10 for a peanut butter sandwich. I was worse than a car salesman hounding them. "Are you sure you don't want a sandwich? They're very yummy!"

The robin's egg blue color of this turquoise stone make this pendant a favorite, especially when it's paired with the matching earrings. An oval blue turquoise cabochon is surrounded by sterling silver in a dainty filigree design reminiscent of fine Spanish lace. Pendant measures approximately 1-1/2" long x 3/4" wide with a cast bail and 18" basket weave chain with a spring ring closure. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

In anticipation of a ruling overturning Michigan's ban on same-sex marriage, Oakland County Clerk Lisa Brown is working with the State Registrar's office to amend Michigan's marriage license.
"Too many couples have had to wait too long," says Oakland County Clerk Lisa Brown. "I don't want them to have to wait another minute."
The language on the license -- now strictly male and female, husband and wife -- would have to change.
"Those boxes would still be on there, if that's what you want to pick," Brown explains. "It could be wife and wife; it doesn't have to be husband and wife."
It could even be husband and husband if Judge Bernard Friedman rules in favor of April Rowse and Jayne DeBoer, a lesbian couple suing to jointly adopt their three special needs children.
Judge Friedman encouraged the couple to challenge the state ban on gay marriage. Governor Snyder, the Attorney General and the former Oakland County Clerk are all defendants in the case. Now that Lisa Brown is the clerk, she is supporting the plaintiffs.
"It's about equality, plain and simple," Brown says. "I can't believe it's 2013 and we still don't have equality in this country - let alone this state."
There could also be an economic benefit to legalizing same-sex marriage. Michigan is struggling financially, and weddings are a big business. Those who make them happen say if more people are getting married, it can only be good for the economy.
"I think weddings, I think all of Michigan would benefit from the economics of people opening up and feeling free to go where they want to go," says Marsha Hogerheide, owner of Buttercream Bakeshop in Wixom.
It's an observation that isn't lost on the Oakland County Clerk.
"You are really cutting off a wonderful population of people when you say we're not going to recognize your relationship with somebody," Brown says. "We're the only state that lost population with the last census - this kind of policy is why we need to change this."
Those opposed to overturning the ban feel very differently. Attorney General Bill Schutte recently filed a statement saying, "The Michigan Marriage Amendment fosters the State's legitimate interest in promoting responsible natural procreation, which, in turn, promotes raising children in a home environment with both a mother and a father, giving the children the benefit of having a role model of both sexes."
Judge Friedman will hear the case in October.

For Pizza cooking at home. What is the best alternative to the pizza stone?
Unglazed quarry tile. Preferably 3/4" to 1" thick.
Heat up a cast iron skillet and the broiler on your oven until everything is as hot as possible. Flip the skillet upside-down, put the pizza on top, and put everything under the broiler. The goal is to cook with as much heat as possible as quickly as possible. You can also try it over the barbecue, which is a bit easier to manage.
A wood-fired brick oven at 900°
Peter Reinhart, in his book American Pie, My Search for the Perfect Pizza, has a great break-down of different home-baking situations and his advice on how to bake the best pizza in each situation. The first situation he addresses is Standard Home Oven with No Baking Stone. You can read it in full at the link above, but here is my summary:
Your problem in this situation is lack of thermal mass. There are three solutions:
Regardless of which option, he says, be sure to preheat your oven for 45 minutes instead of the usual 15 for most baking.
Jim Lahey, in his beautiful new book, My Pizza, has an added trick for the electric home oven that is designed to work with a pizza stone, but could be adapted for the sheet or cast iron pan method above. He points out that most home ovens are set to shut off when they reach a certain temperature. He's devised a method to trick the oven for maximum heat:
You should buy a pizza stone, but if you don't have one you can bake it directly over the grid. This way will be more crispy than over a iron baking pan.
I'm using this wonderfull pizza oven at home:
It heats up to 400°C (750°F) and is specially designed for baking pizza. It costs about $100, but I couldn't find any reference in the US for it. (I'm from germany)
I usually bake it in the oven over the grid, but you should use an iron baking pan if the dough is too soft. Absolutely avoid microwave, even with the crisp plate.
Any reasonable pizza stone you can buy on amazon that will fit in both your oven, and more importantly, on your grill, will be fine. The heat matters far more than the fanciness of the stone (and as others have said, a cast iron skillet flipped upsidedown works great as a stone).
I would highly recommend grilling your pizza as you can often get the grill to higher temperatures than your oven and this heat will pay off in perfect thin crust.
I use marble with success. It has to be veinless though.
I use a baking pan, and a dough recipe that results in more Sicilian type pie. The crust is not too crispy, and the dough is nice and thick.
I use two layers if soapstone tiles that were left over from our bathroom renovations. I let them heat up properly for at least 1/2 an hour at my ovens max temp (250 C). I checked with the supplier and they are approved for food purposes. Very common in Finnish wood ovens apparently.

The avowed purpose of each drama is to tell of a maverick figure whose fame in their lifetime drastically subsided after their death. But the drama-documentary format that would have been the conventional match has been rejected. Forgotten by history, anidentical fate has been dished out by television. Whatever Lady Hester Stanhope, a society hostess who declared herself the ruler of a walled city in Syria, was really like, it's a safe bet that she was strikingly dissimilar to the overbearing, self-deluding, proto-Thatcherite gargoyle hilariously impersonated by Saunders.
Saunders is nowadays being courted by moguls to reprise just such a role for Hollywood. That was Ab Fab; this was Arab Fab: she might have been returned to your screen heavily disguised by baldness and flowing desert robes, but she'll need more than a creative wardrobe mistress to side-step the perils of typecasting. And, however ravishingly filmed, Morocco does seem a long way to go for dominatrix gags.
From the first few scenes you wouldn't necessarily have guessed that the pursuit of laughs was "Queen of the East" 's overriding ambition. Splendidly costumed and stiffly aping early 19th-century speech patterns, it looked and sounded remarkably like your weekly BBC ration of backwards time travel. Sure, there were nudges and winks - a collapsing briefcase, a desert meeting in which an English writer hoping to interview Lady Hester greeted her physician with the words "Dr Meryon, I presume". But such things could easily seep into a script with a higher purpose.
Structurally, the piece also appeared to take itself seriously. When Lady Hester, deprived of patronage and protection by the death of her uncle and her fiance, first engaged the gibbering Dr Meryon to accompany her on her travels, her offer of a seat ina seatless room deftly echoed the earlier scene, from much later in her life, in which she did the same to the writer. It was funny, but it resonated too: she left England with nothing, and when England came looking for her, she still had nothing.
Saunders, and the vehicle she rode in, only really gathered comic momentum when Lady Hester quit her native country in response to a prophecy that she would journey east. Her increasing sense of destiny was matched, frame for frame, by a corresponding growth in absurdity. When the British consul in Cairo accused her of looking ridiculous, the voice of reason had had its last say.
It was the Maltese seduction scene that sealed it, and confirmed that bedroom dialogue this hobbling ("sometimes I want to take all my clothes off," said her toyboy, before taking all his clothes off) could only have one role. From there on in, Patrick Barlow's script romped as rampantly and rhapsodically as its lead character. After the ecstatic loss of her virginity, a caption carried the action forward to "three days later" when the same wild howls were still to be heard. It's an old jok e, but a good one.
But rushing headlong towards the next punchline, "Queen of the East" never entirely suppressed its duty to verisimilitude. In an early scene in which Lady Hester read of her fiance's death in battle, she sat motionlessly in her chair in an empty salon, backlit by a vast window, as night fell and dawn returned. The ebb and flow between laughter and melancholy was not so easily captured as that between light and shade. But even if inexpertly handled, the brief banishments of laughter saved the film from looking like a monstrously expensive sketch.

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB News Channel) To commemorate 9/11, many of the KALB team has added videos telling where they were September 11, 2001.
On September 11,2001, terrorists attacked the United States. An extreme Islamic terrorist group called Al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger airliners for suicide attacks. Two planes were crashed into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center in New York. Both towers collapsed.
A third plane was crashed into the Pentagon. The plane caused a partial collapse of the building.
The fourth plane was heading to Washington, but crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. Passengers went to great strides to stop the hijackers. The hijackers were trying to crash that plane into the White House.
On that day, 2,983 people lost their lives.
Tell us where you were on that day. Tell us the emotions that you felt when you heard the news.

Cue the NBA Jam 'REJECTED!' Honestly I will never understand why people propose like this at sporting events. There are a few times in life where you need to know 110% that the answer is going to be yes. Marriage proposal is one of those things. Are you legal is another but that's another blog for another day. Maybe Chris Hanson can guest blog it. And David, my man, maybe spring for the tickets to a Major League game if you're going to make this move. Marriage proposal at a minor league
Anyway I don't know what it says about me that I laughed when she said no but it is what it is. My name is Jon and I find humor in other people's tragedy.
Also I know people are saying this is fake. The acting seems fake, the announcer seems fake, the Rock Cats I guess admitted it was fake blah blah blah. Look I don't mean to brag but I can sniff out a fake viral video like nobody's business. I am to troll videos what the Iron Sheik is to Twitter racism. This thing is the real deal. And so what if they said it was all a set up. Classic misdirection by the Rock Cats. Video goes viral, Rock Cats get promotion. Video 'exposed' as fake, Rock Cats get even more promotion and extend their internet fame another 15 minutes. Wake up folks.
PS: You know what I always think about when I'm at a Brewer/Packer/Badger/Bucks game? When there's a generic 'Kristin will you marry me?' on the jumbo tron. I just picture some poor sap at the game sitting next to his long time girlfriend whose name happens to be Kristin.
Double PS: Alright they're acting is about as good as Michael Scott's improv.

So we've come to this: the final installment of the Star Wars series. Housemate Chris had never seen any of the films just a couple of months ago. Now he will have seen them all.
Sidebar: I recently found someone else -- college-educated, around age 30 -- who has never seen any of them.
The saga concluded... for now [check your local listings].
According to George Lucas himself, the original concept -- and indeed his first script -- for this project was one movie that encompassed the major points of the timeline from the capture of Princess Leia's ship to the celebration on Endor. He quickly realized that was far too ambitious and pared it all down what became simply Star Wars in 1977. Once it became the worldwide phenomenon, Lucas set about making the rest of his vision. There was chatter about making three trilogies, totaling nine films, then that was quashed. So Return of the Jedi was to be the culmination of this unverse, then it wasn't, then it was, then it wasn't.
Confused? As a 9-year-old when it hit theaters, so was I. Still, I couldn't have been more eager for that midnight opening.
Even the title itself got confusing. Even many casual fans have now heard the story of how the fake production title of Blue Harvest was used to throw off the scent for autograph seekers and price gougers alike. Many do not seem to remember that, for a time, the movie was titled Revenge of the Jedi. I distinctly recall this being emblazoned on some of the packaging for action figures. Surely some collector can post a picture.
At its most basic level, this is the climax of a story about a father and son. A calmer, more mature Luke Skywalker first saves his friend from grave peril. He then journeys to complete his training and confirm a horrible truth told to him. Then he must confront the truth face-to-face.
I think I set all that up without any spoilers.
As with its predecessors, this movie has two distinct halves. The first gave pop culture two iconic images. Jabba the Hutt is now seared into our psyche as the epitome of greed, sloth, pride and pretty much all the Deadly Sins. The other is far more important to boys of a certain age then and men of a certain age now. I am happily among them. I was certain from the moment I first saw "Princess Leia and the Gold Bikini" that I definitely liked girls... a LOT. I still do.
Unfortunately, this movie also gave us the Ewoks. I call them the "happy, dancing bears" and can't refer to them at all without sharp disdain. Perhaps those of us old enough to reach to the aforementioned visage of Leia were just too old to appreciate them. As for the original Lucas vision, the Ewoks were the remnants of his plan to have an uprising of Wookiees [Chewbacca's kind] that we would eventually see in the prequel trilogy. Personally, I think they were just a cheap marketing ploy, both for the film itself and the accompanying toys. At least they're better than Jar Jar.
This is the first time [chronologically] we got to see the Emperor in corporeal form. It was an interesting revelation to me that someone heralded as having so much power appeared so frail. He had all those red-robed guards -- who never actually did anything -- to protect him, but he controlled the entire galaxy. In my cut-and-dry world of Then, it was easy to see the Dark Side but I see the seductive shades of grey when I when I watch it in the Now.
It has its holes and its weaknesses [damned happy, dancing bears] but Return of the Jedi provides a fulfilling ending for a modern fairy tale. The Special Edition of this one probably changed the most, and probably was damaged the most by those changes. The mysterious appearance of Hayden Christensen at the end of the most recent update is both jarring and unnecessary. Then again, so is most of his acting. I can't help but think that those, such as Chris, who didn't experience it all the way I have just won't ever feel the same magic.
Still, with all the changes and all the years -- and all the stories that may still come, thanks to the Disney acquisition -- the Force will be with us, always.

Peelu - Chewing Gum with Xylitol and Vitamin C Citrus Breeze - 8 Pieces
With natural xylitol adding the subtle sweetness and peelu dental fibers adding in the "toothbrush" effect, Peelu Citrus Breeze with Vitamin C chewing gum is a healthy experience for your gums and teeth. Xylitol has become a popular ingredient in oral care products, because unlike sugar, it doesn't cause tooth decay. The natural peelu fibers also provide for good oral health, as they help keep teeth clean and white. The peelu tree has been a source of dental health for over 1,000 years. Now, you can get the same benefits by chewing the "toothbrush" gum! Try a piece or two especially after a meal or snack.
Peelu's patented Fiber-Clean formula helps prevent the formation of unsightly tartar and stains. It cleans and brightens teeth without harming enamel or gums. Peelu is so mild and non-abrasive that it reduces many problems associated with regular brushing, such as mouth and gum irritation and worn tooth enamel.
Peelu Products are always:
About the Peelu TreeFor centuries, Indians, Africans and Asians have enjoyed clean, sparkling teeth due to the health-enhanced benefits of peelu (also known as siwak or miswak) vegetable fiber. Now for the first time, Peelu USA has incorporated this non-abrasive fiber into a remarkably effective toothpaste.
The Peelu Tree is known by many names throughout the world: Salvadora persica arak, miswak and siwak. Whichever name you prefer, the twigs and fibers of this Middle Eastern tree have been used since the time of the Prophet Muhammad, who is said to have recommended its use to clean teeth and purify the mouth.
Because its use dates back to the middle of the first millennia, many believe the "Kayu Sugi," or chewing stick, is the world's oldest toothbrush. Traditionally, the outer bark is removed and a person chews on the interior fibers for gentle, non-abrasive oral care. Today, science is proving the effectiveness of this ancient dental health tool. All-natural peelu products provide a healthy way to enjoy fresh breath, as well as healthy gums and teeth, without artificial chemicals, toxins or abrasives.
About Peelu USAFor well over 20 years, Peelu USA has produced the highest-quality all-natural oral hygiene products to help people maintain healthy gums and teeth without chemicals or abrasives. They pioneered the development of dental health products like fluoride-free toothpaste, dental fibers, tooth powder, whitening toothpaste and, of course, their famous Peelu gum. Peelu USA's naturally healthy chewing gums are sugar free, aspartame free, and are sweetened with dentist-recommended xylitol.
The active ingredient in all of Peelu USA's products is fibers from the ancient Peelu tree, which has been used for generations to maintain good oral health. As they move into a new decade with exciting new products and flavors, Peelu USA is proud to carry on the all-natural dental health tradition using the tools Mother Nature has provided.

SEP 18 Here's a story in the New York Times about a New Iberia man who is trying to save his own little corner of Louisiana. A lot of people spend their spare time clearing their land, but Matt Conn works to restore the natural state of his property. It's a fascinating story.
SEP 18 Here's an amazingly personal piece from Naomi Klein, posted on the Guardian. It is long, and intense, a personal telling of her own process of covering, denying and realizing climate change. She addresses the issue of big business pretending to address the issue, the concealment of climate damage for corporate gain, and how her coverage of the BP spill led, she believes, to a miscarriage.
SEP 18 Sure, Louisiana Congressional candidate Lenar Whitney made the first page of Politifact's "Pants on Fire" statements section, and of course that's always entertaining. But really you need to go check out the Pulitzer Prize winning fact-checking website, which is run by former Lafayette journalist Angie Drobnic Holan, because it has a great new design.
SEP 18 The math might be simple to most - leave a lone Republican in the race against Mary Landrieu for a better shot at winning in the primary - but to Rob Maness (the "other" Republican) it's not that simple. This story on the E&E Publishing site features some of his more interesting viewpoints on energy, politics and the EPA.
SEP 18 This post on Howard Fineman's Political Read blog takes a look at the fine line that Bobby Jindal will have to walk if he wants to be the guy who can unite the creationists who don't believe in evolution with the Christians and others who do. On paper, Jindal could be the guy to do it, Fineman says, but politically, he'll have to start with the far right if he wants to get anywhere in the GOP.
SEP 18 Inspection stickers. They're a pain but you have to have them. Now there's a problem with the recent ones, WVUE reports here: they're peeling off. Last year, word from the state was we would be getting better glue, but apparently that didn't happen.
SEP 18 This week, four Louisiana College board members resigned in protest after Tommy French was re-elected chairman. This post on the Associated Baptist Press website reports that, just a couple weeks ago, French was handing controversial former LC leader Joe Aguillard a medal and the title of President Emeritus.
SEP 18 Bobby Jindal is spending a lot of time on the road helping candidates get elected - but none of them are in Louisiana, columnist Stephanie Grace writes in this post. None of Jindal's buddies are running (Cassidy dumped Teepell early on in favor of a Vitter acolyte) and maybe Jindal really does read polls and knows that his support is the kiss of death here.
SEP 17 If the "when white people fight" video was the war side, blogger Mighty Favog has found the love side. Here's a video of two (let us hope they aren't sober) inebriated white people who got so carried away in their demonstration of, er, affection that they fell. In Tiger Stadium. During the game. The best part is the reaction (or lack thereof) among their fellow fans. (Hey, there's a game going on!)
SEP 17 The controversy continues at Louisiana College, as some seem loathe to release their grip on the status quo. After the school's accrediting agency suspended the school's ranking and criticized its pattern of dishonesty, four board members had wanted a change in the chairman's position. When that didn't happen, they resigned in protest, the Alexandria Town Talk reports here.
SEP 17 Blogger Lamar White Jr. takes a look at Louisiana's Tea Party, and the decision to classify it as an LLC instead of a political party. He also throws in some illuminating facts about the so-called IRS "witch hunt" against Tea Party groups -- which, it turns out, was nothing of the kind.

From WENN.com
The former America's Next Top Model judge was loaned $20,000 (£12,500) worth of gems from Effy brand bosses to wear on the runway at The Reality of FASHION The Reality of AIDS show.
However, after strutting down the catwalk, an absent-minded Dickinson forgot to return the pieces, which included two diamond bracelets.
A source tells the New York Post's gossip column Page Six, ""She left with thousands of dollars of jewellery still on.""
Dickinson is adamant she never meant to take the pieces, telling the publication, ""If you're insinuating anything funny going on, you're barking up the wrong tree.""

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We were very happy with this invite. The quality of the paper and the colors were exactly what we were looking for. We also liked the fact that we could make some changes to the wording to fit our needs. Ordering them online made us a bit nervous at first, but anytime we had a question a customer rep was only a phone call away with answers. We are very happy we found Wedding Paper Divas ...Thanks!"
"We were able to personalize our invitation through the help of one of the designers and he made suggestions about script and color, parallelism, and overall layout that really enhanced our invitation! He also made the changes that we requested in a timely manner and our invitations were shipped and printed in less time than we expected! I was so excited when they came in the mail! The paper quality was textured and even nicer than I expected and the picture on the back printed very nicely on it as well! Thank you!!"
"We are having an October wedding in Salem, Ma. Our colors are black, gold, and ivory so we were looking for something to match of course. I wanted the main color to be black with gold writing and a lot of other sites didn't have this. The foil stamps really gave these invitations something extra which we loved. The artist was wonderful to work with, we went back and forth via email a couple times and they really make sure you get exactly what you want. I would definitely order from wedding paper divas again!"
"I was extremely impressed with the abundance of selections to choose from; the ease and promptness of the changes I requested; and the invitations were absolutely beautiful and well made. They also arrived before the expected delivery date."
"We ordered this invitation and RSVP card in Almond with a solid almond back on the matte white stock, and could not be more pleased with the decision! The design is so lovely, just perfect for my daughter's outdoor garden-style wedding. It has just the right soft, vintage feel we were looking for. The paper quality is excellent, they look and feel great. The design review process is extremely helpful - our reviewer made a couple of changes that improved what we had submitted - and the turnaround was incredibly fast. The final product was exactly what we expected and were hoping for ... no complaints or disappointment whatsoever. We highly recommend this product!"

Some time ago, Orlando Science Center and a team from UCF's Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA) created a video game called Energize!
Energize! challenges the player to provide electricity to their growing community while keeping emissions minimized. The game, made possible by a grant from the Progress Energy Foundation and with additional support from the Turner Foundation, is now a featured component of the Science Center's H2Now exhibit, which explores hydrogen power and alternative energy solutions.
During the game, players have five energy producers to choose from: fossil fuel, wind, solar, biomass, and nuclear. Each form has tradeoffs. The player learns that it takes a combination of energy sources to achieve a balance between energy demand, economic needs and environmental concerns.
Play a few rounds of this award-winning game by visiting www.energizegame.com
In the meantime, here's a great video describing the game:

Awesome for the Raptors to keep him… Young, fun team to watch… Would have been great in Miami, but in the end; great for Toronto….Miami needs role players. Not more stars. Big three plus Lowry and a bunch of Norris Coles = another disappointing season.
Wow there is a ton of players in the NBA that have no clue the league is fixed, this idiot would have been better off in LA than Toronto… You think the league is ever gonna allow the Raps to make it far in the playoffs?
Guess not everyone wants the privilege of playing with the Heat after all,
if it means giving up their cache. These guys have lifestyles too…Haters first were like, "Lowry is so overrated, who cares if he goes to the Heat??"
Now they're like, "hahahahha Heat missed out big time!"
Miami better get some signatures down soon as there will be nothing left if they don't. Good keep here for Toronto too.Heat fan were getting a little bit too excited about Kyle Lowry…good deal for the Raptors
A foolish deal for Lowry–since he's playing in Canada–he's only going to be making around half of what this deal is worth–as most of what he's getting in this contract will be eaten up by Canadian income and consumption taxes.
Good move by Lowry. He didn't want to be just another cog in the wheel of the big 3. The Heat will get a Ray Allen or a Shawn Marion. Younger players like Lowry don't want to go there and be the 4th option.
this is great news for 29 teams. shows lowry has some real class. very respectable. didn't even listen to the heat's offers or wait for them to sign the other 3. well done sir. I thought for sure he was going to go to a contender in the south, I'm pleasantly surprised to be wrong. I might have to start following basketball again

Adrienne Cooper, world-renowned Yiddish singer and educator, was interviewed on December 28, 2010 at KlezKamp, in the Catskills of New York. In her interview, Adrienne talks about coming from a long line of singers. Her mother was a Yiddish and Hebrew singer, and she says that Yiddish was in her ear from the time she was born.
Adrienne grew up in Oakland, California. She describes her family as "not frum," although they kept kosher at home, and observed Shabbat. They belonged first to an Orthodox and then to a Conservative shul. She credits the synagogues as the source of her Jewish literacy and says she spent "five days a week in shul studying," although she also attended public schools throughout her childhood. She had friends in school, but her best friends were in Young Judea, a peer-led Zionist youth group through which she learned about socialism and Zionism.
Adrienne spent two years at the University of California, Berkeley, and then moved to Israel, where she studied History and English Literature at Hebrew University. After finishing her degree, she returned to the United States and pursued a Ph.D in History at the University of Chicago. During that time, she attended the Yiddish summer program at the YIVO Institute in New York. She says she had "no idea why she started with Yiddish," but the language attracted her. After her summer at YIVO, Adrienne was offered a fellowship there, became Assistant Director of YIVO's Max Weinreich Center for Advanced Jewish Studies, and went on to direct the YIVO summer program.
The six-week summer program comprised three hours of language learning each morning and Yiddish cultural activities each afternoon, five days a week. Adrienne, observing that many people couldn't devote so much time to learning a language, wondered if the structure could be changed to emphasize cultural immersion, with a smaller language component. In 1985, Adrienne and Henry Sapoznik co-founded such a program: KlezKamp, an annual, week-long immersion in Klezmer music and Yiddish culture. Adrienne says that KlezKamp emerged from a desire to make Yiddish accessible to a larger and more diverse group of people.
Adrienne discusses passing Yiddish on to her daughter, Yiddish singer and lyricist Sarah Gordon. Adrienne sang to her in Yiddish from the time she was born, and taught her some vocabulary, trying to reproduce her own experience of hearing Yiddish throughout her childhood. Yiddish was not regularly spoken in their home, but Adrienne says Sarah absorbed the culture by "osmosis": many of her babysitters were YIVO students, and she spent every winter holiday at KlezKamp. Adrienne describes a photograph of four-year-old Sarah sitting at Max Weinreich's desk, talking into the phone. When Sarah was 12 years old, she and Adrienne worked together on a CD about remembering the children of the Holocaust, continuing the family tradition of music.
Adrienne says she is attracted to Yiddish because it provides an opportunity to connect to living, participatory Jewish culture. She describes her love for the golesdikayt – the off-balance, exiled quality – of Yiddish culture. She says that because Yiddish is not "culturally dominant," it needs our energy, our desire, and our participation. Adrienne reminds us that Yiddish belongs to us, and we have every right and also every responsibility to it. She asks us to be bold and fearless in order to explore and create in Yiddish, so that our culture persists.
