1.) Mood: Pretty great! It's been warm enough lately that I have regularly been able to get outside and walk. I have missed fresh air and exercise dearly! I have also been working on exercising in my basement...more on that soon!
5.) If you could snap your fingers and be anywhere in the world right now, where would you go? Somewhere sunny and warm. I miss Vitamin D! Where I live it is sunny and hot all summer but cloudy pretty much all winter. I don't usually complain about the weather but mama needs some sun!
7.) What is the last movie you saw in theaters? Silver Linings Playbook. I really liked it! But I wouldn't exactly call it a comedy, even though it's classified as that in all the award show categories.
8.) If you could only be one age for the rest of your life, which would you choose, and why? Too hard! Being a kid was fun and care-free, but I also look forward to being settled. Can't pick!
Today I wanted to review Tegan and Sara's seventh studio album Heartthrob. You may be surprised to hear this is their seventh album, because it is their first attempt to crack into the mainstream. The twin sisters were born in Calgary and have been making music together for more than a decade. They have plenty of street cred and have opened for some of music's biggest acts. But on this album, the twins made a conscious decision to break into Top 40 Radio. They teamed up with a producer who has worked with Ke$ha and Kelly Clarkson. He took their guitar and piano-laden songs and turned them into much more electronic, synth-heavy power songs. There are great love songs as well as break-up tracks on Heartthrob and it's obvious these two women mean business. Their first song Closer, in high rotation, is one of my favourite songs right now. I love the line, "I'm the type that won't be oh so critical...I won't treat you like you're oh so typical". Heartthrob is ten solid songs that I think a wide range of music lovers will find themselves grooving to.
This is my second experience with Nails Inc. and it's just as good as the first. This polish is impressing me to no end. Although this is two coats, I easily could have gotten away with just one. It's very opaque and not streaky on my nails at all. This red shade is called Charing Crossing, another homage to London. This British polish is super shiny and high-quality. I received this colour along with three others in a gift set from my four year old niece for Christmas. (She clearly has fab taste already!) I looked Nails Inc. up online and found it's sold at Sephora, for about $11. Now in my opinion it's a tad high of a price to pay, but this polish is totally worth it! It even dried quickly and didn't smudge.
After Christmas there was a massive sale on the Chapters website and I decided to indulge. (Random tip: books on their website are often cheaper than in store and if you spend $25 shipping is free.) I got five books for $30 which is a steal! Something I will never understand is why books for my Kobo are often more money than an actual book. I have gone quite a few months without filming a MareReads video. But after my Random 2012 Favourites video was posted, I had a ton of feedback asking for more book videos and reviews. So, that being said, here are the books I bought and also a review of one I've already read!
I wanted to tell you about another LUSH product I have been using daily. This is the Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter. I have struggled with dry, brittle nails for a long time and finally an aesthetician suggested I try using a cuticle cream to strengthen them. Coincidentally, this product was included in a fabulous Christmas gift I received last month.
"Fresh lemons are put into an infusion and lovingly blended in our rich butter base to brighten skin and lighten nails. Each batch contains twenty-two pounds of beeswax and cold-pressed avocado oil to moisturize and soften your skin."
I have noticed a huge difference in the quality of my cuticles and the strength of my nails. Before, I had at least three or four nails that would consistently peel or chip and now I am down to just one!
The only downside to this is it does have a very strong lemon scent which I am not massively fond of, but it doesn't last as the product really sinks in.
This is a small, 15g sample size. I have been using this pot five days a week, for three or four weeks straight now and I have hardly used a third of the product. The regular container is 45g; I can't imagine how long that would last! You only need to use the smallest amount.
I will definitely continue to use Lemony Flutter and re-purchase a full-size when this runs out. It may also become a staple gift to give!
1.) Mood: Feeling great this morning!
2.) What is your signature sleep position? (back, side, stomach, etc) Hahaha oh I wish I knew what my signature position was. I am a terrible sleeper, up a million times a night. I usually end up on either side. I used to sleep on my stomach, but ever since I was pregnant, I don't anymore.
3.) Current nail polish: Revlon Fashionista. NOTD coming soon!
Speaking of Britney, here's a pic from 2009 of my friend Shan and me heading into her concert in Seattle. Best.Show.Ever.
8.) What is your favorite Subway sandwich (if you don't go to Subway, what is another kind of favorite sandwich you have?)? I am not a sandwich person at all. But, right now I am loving putting avocado, cheese, sprouts and tomato on bread, open-faced and toasting it in the oven. Super yummy!
9.) What is your favorite pair of shoes? I am pretty fleeting when it comes to shoes. I love to mix it up with boots, tall and short, flats, wedges, depending on the outfit. Oh and I am a total slipper girl! Even in the summer I feel weird without my slips!
I am an awards show junkie. Serious. I absolutely love awards show season and the Golden Globes is one of my favorites. It's relaxed, fun and a mix of both television and movies. My only snag is that a lot of the movies haven't been released here yet so it can be a bit tough to stay in the loop!
Last night's awards were filled with beautiful gowns and I thought I would share some of my faves. I definitely think there were more hits than misses with the ladies last night.
There were some definite trends: black, red and cut-outs/cleavage. I like the cut-out trend. It's a bit of a surprise, but more classy than a ton of cleavage.
Did you watch the show? What were your favourite looks? Least favourite?
I thought hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler did a fantastic job but I would have liked to have seen more of them:) Adele's speech was one of the best (she won Original Song for Skyfall) and Ben Affleck winning best director for Argo was also a highlight with his heart-felt words. It's quite the controversy that he isn't nominated for Best Director at the Oscars next week.
Girls and Homeland were the big winners in the tv category, both I need to start watching! Also, the made-for-tv movie The Game Change took home a few awards and looks amazing. The way Julianne Moore channels Sarah Palin is uncanny.
What tv shows or movies are you in to right now?
Today's Nail of the Day is a colour I have had my eye on for a couple months now. It's from the OPI James Bond Skyfall collection and is called GoldenEye. It's a very shiny gold colour that looks like it might not be very opaque, but was easily in only two coats. It's very shiny and reflective. As you can see from the two photos it can look a bit different depending on the angle and the light. As I mentioned when I hauled this polish, I am now looking for nail polish colours that are a bit different. GoldenEye most definitely is. I like the colour, although I think I will save reapplication for a fancy event or fun night out. I wouldn't call this an 'everyday colour'.
Judging from the photos you may think this is going to be a random post with not much weight.
Thursday night Jeremy went out for a haircut after dinner. Thomas and I were upstairs playing and tidying up as we do, winding down for bedtime. We were in my bathroom and I left for a second to put something away.
I heard the bathroom door close. No big deal, I thought.
Then I heard the toilet flush. Ok, not the greatest things. Perhaps I should check this out. So I dropped what I was doing to see if the toilet was overflowing.
The bathroom door was locked.
Disbelief and then panic set in right away. How on earth had Thomas managed to turn the lock inside the door?
My first thought was to call Jeremy back because he was going to have to bust the doorknob off.
So I ran downstairs, wracking my brain about what I could use to try and unlock the door. From my kitchen drawer I grabbed a random key and my ridiculously girly tools.
My first thought turned out to be the right one. I took my flat-head screwdriver and turned the indent on the front of the knob. This unlocked the door!
All of this happened in probably two minutes, but it seemed to go in slow motion!
So, I wanted to share this with the hopes that you will take a minute to check the doorknobs in your house. If you have the same ones as us, you should be able to just turn the front and unlock it from the outside. If not, check to see if there is a safety feature in case this same thing happens to you. If not, perhaps invest in some new knobs. It will be cheaper than busting the door!
PS I think this gave me a new grey hair!
I saw this on Pinterest and just had to use it for a Wise Word Wednesday quote. It actually gave me chills. I couldn't believe this to be more true. I have often met people with low self-esteem or who are body-conscious and wondered why they engaged in such self-hate. Then I met their mom or dad and it was all clear because the parent was constantly putting themselves down or questioning their kids' decisions.
Or, someone who seemed so at peace with themselves and their parents are exactly the same.
We really are shaping our little ones and their self-esteem, as well as their prejudices or beliefs.
I can only hope to pass this down to Thomas.
Today's Nail of the Day is a new brand of polish to me. This polish was a Christmas gift from my niece. The tag even said, "NOTD". She is four and knows me so well! I had only ever seen Nails Inc polishes on blogs and videos of beauty gurus in England and so I was delighted to be given a set of four. This first colour is St. Pancras. As you can see it's a burgundy, deep red colour that is all over fashion pages this winter. Although I used a top coat, this polish is still very glossy which I love. I used three coats on my nails to get a smooth, consistent finish. It wears well and I can't wait to try the other creamy colours.
Cat - Try running up and down the stairs in your house for 2-5 minutes every day.
Loni - Thomas is probably a little young still, but I have a couple of work out videos and when I actually find time to watch them the kids usually try and do the exercises along with me They have so much more energy then I do!
Steve - Kettlebell. 15 minutes.
Taryn - I have started dancing.....I pick one song(will increase as i get fitter) and some time in my day between foldinng laundry and making dinner....I turn up the music and just giver! Konnor thinks its hollarous ans kinda dances along to!
Sarah - I do activities with my kids....skating, swimming, etc.
Jasmine - Fitness DVDs are a lifesaver. Saves travel time to and from the gym and one DVD that you can use over and over is the cost of a drop in class, at least in the city! I like Tracy Anderson mat and the Ballet Beautiful series. Mandy Ingber's Yogalosphy is also KILLER.
Megs - Haha Jillian michaels it's only 25 mins so I usually do it when ash is eating in his chair.
Sarah - Find a good gym with good classes and a good daycare. Spin are great, step classes are great, bootcamp classes etc... the key is to get the little guy used to spending an hour with the daycare so mommy can get an hour for her own health.
Amanda - The only thing I've been able to stick with is an early morning class (6:15 am) before work and life gang up on me. I realize that for you, an early morning class before work would be at, like, 2:45 am, so perhaps my suggestion will not suit your life…for me, going to a class is a must. I have tried to be disciplined enough to just do workout DVDs on my own, but always find excuses to flake out on myself. Once I've paid for a class and have committed to be there, the only real battle is showing up, then the rest just kind of happens.
Cathy - You have to make it a priority. Easy to say, I know. But when I had little ones I did. I got day care for two hours so I could exercise. NOW, my problem is that my kids are adults...so what's my excuse?
Aren't those just fantastic! I can't wait to try out some of these ideas. I also had some great tips posted on my YouTube video here. How do you manage to fit exercise into your schedule?


If you are in Austin I highly encourage you to take advantage of this situation. How often will you have the opportunity to be driven around town in a horse and buggy? Seriously guys, this is a real chance to make a move.

Welcome! You're riding on Ruby on Rails!

June 2015 (Grade 11)

						The goal of this project was to create a website for scheduling games between teams in a round-robin tournament. The website was powered by Ruby on Rails, and it webpages used Javascript, SCSS, and bootstrap. Being a Rails application, it used a model-view-controller framework.

						The website featured user log-ins, allowing users to create their own tournaments by entering information on teams and tournaments. The information was stored in a SQL database, and could be displayed in tables. The website could generate a round robin tournament schedule between the teams the user entered, given various restrictions of which teams were involved, the tournament's time range, and how many games any team could play in a week. The website could also mail the generated tournament schedule and email it to members that the user could add.

						This app was a leap forward in my experience in web app development. It was my first time using the Ruby on Rails framework, which had a much steeper learning curve than php. I was introduced to a handful of new terms, such as the MVC model and the REST-ful API. I ended up liking the Rails framework much more than php web development, and it made tasks like storing information in a database and allowing users to view and edit much more streamlined.

						This was also the first website I had created that had a very visually pleasing user interface, which I had accomplished with the help of bootstrap and the Rails framework. The website had a visual design similar to Twitter.

The hardest part of winter is waiting for the sailing season. Usually we start somewhere at the and of May. But this spring, let's do something different. Ionian 43' race.
We take boats of 4 brands of the same size: 43 feet, and figure out which one is the best while racing through Ionian sea.
The weather wouldn't be too hot, the water is still too cold. So this is not a chill cruise week, this is a real race.
We meet in Lefkas, and let the adventure begin.
We start at Lefkas and make our way through the ionian sea all the way Zakintos. On our way back we visit Kefalonia and Itaka.
We will visit 4 islands. Each has its own history and things to see.
The trip will take 1 week with 2 days stop on Kefalonia, as it has too much to see for just one day stay.
Beginning in Lefkas we go through all the coolest spots of Ionian islands.
€590 after new year. €690 after February 1 st. €790 after March 1 st.
- Flight to where everything happens. The price depends on where are you flying from and to. Check "Skyscanner" or "Onetwotrip" apps to get the quote. You should fly to Athens, and than take a bus to Lefkas.

From Gotham to The Berkshires - New York Central's Harlem Division
The Story of the old New York & Harlem Railroad began way back in 1831 when New York City authorized construction of a horse-drawn streetcar system for Manhattan Island that evolved over the decades into a major commuter railroad connecting New York State's upstate communities with the City.
This new book is not a detailed narrative of the New York Central's Harlem Division, but rather a photographic look at the history of this railroad that was the driving force in developing the regions along the eastern border of New York State from New York City to the heart of the Berkshires in Massachusetts.
Several noted photographers and railroad historians have opened their collections to us and they are the major source of the nearly 600 photographs, maps and timetables that lie between the covers of this publication. These folks have literally saved the history of this under-publicized major railroad and we are proud to present their work within.

MDMA Possession & Distribution Defense Lawyer
Contact Our Camden Office To Speak To A Talented Former Prosecutor About Your MDMA Offense
Methylenedioxymethamphetamine ("MDMA") is an illegal psychoactive drug that is frequently referred to as Ecstasy or Molly. This controlled dangerous substance has enjoyed popularity largely because of the euphoric state it produces. If you have been charged with possession or distribution of MDMA, you need to retain a savvy lawyer as soon as possible. Any drug possession charge in Camden County involving ecstasy/Molly is a felony under New Jersey Law that carries severe penalties, including the potential for being sent to state prison for years. The consequences escalate beyond that if you were arrested for distributing or possession with intent to distribute. The team of Camden Criminal Attorneys at Jonathan F. Marshall are finely equipped battle a Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Haddonfield, Pennsauken or other MDMA cases. We are former prosecutors who have been practicing almost exclusively in the capacity of the defense of the accused of over 100 years between us. Attorneys on our staff are available 24/7 for free initial consultations by calling our Cherry Hill Office at 732-662-8300.
Possession of MDMA Charge in Camden New Jersey
The only court to decide indictable offenses of the third degree is the Camden Superior Court, this is where your case will be sent for disposition. A charge of third-degree possession of MDMA/Molly/Ecstasy subjects you to the penalties set forth in N.J.S.A. 2C:35-10 upon conviction. Failure to successfully defend this violation or secure Pretrial Intervention exposes you to penalties that include, but are not limited to, a fine of up to $35,000, a Drug Enforcement and Demand Reduction ("DEDR") assessment $1,000, five years in state prison and a driver's license suspension of at least six months and up to two years.
Selling, Distribution or Possession With Intent To Distribute MDMA
Activities involving selling or distributing MDMA, Molly or Ecstasy involve the potential for even more severe ramifications. The severity of the penalties hinges on the amount of the drug that was being sold or possessed with the intent to distribute. A conviction for distributing less than one-half ounce of Ecstasy is a third-degree crime that carries substantially similar consequences to those for simple or personal possession that have previously been described. Distribution of at least one-half ounce but less than five ounces of Molly is a second-degree crime that results in sentencing that includes five to ten years in prison/jail, a fine of up to $150,000, a $2,000 DEDR penalty and a six to twenty-four-month driver's license revocation. First-degree distribution of MDMA applies where the quantity involved is five ounces or more. You face a maximum fine of $500,000, ten to twenty years in prison, a $3,000 DEDR penalty and the same mandatory driver's license suspension.
The penalties that apply escalate further if the distribution occurs in a School Zone or Public Park Zone.
Cherry Hill NJ MDMA Attorneys
Law enforcement is aggressive in prosecuting those who supply or promoting the sale of drugs and CDS like MDMA whose targeted users are children and young adults. You can, therefore, expect a reluctance for favorable consideration when your charge in Haddon Heights, Laurel Springs, Berlin or another municipality reaches the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.

Peter In the News
2016 Tom McCall Lecture
Statement from Rep. Peter DeFazio on President Trump's First State of the Union Address
"Tonight, President Trump declared that, after his first year in office, his administration has made our nation a safer, stronger, and prouder America. Instead, I heard a speech short on policy and long on platitudes and props, one that outlined the many ways that the Trump administration and their irresponsible policies are hurting American workers, seniors, children, and families.
"Over the past year, President Trump has made it harder for millions of working families to get ahead. While Republicans tout their recently-passed tax bill as a win for middle class families, it is in actuality a massive giveaway to corporations and America's very wealthiest. Meanwhile, in 2019 more than 9 million middle class families will face a tax increase because of this bill. The tax plan also blows a colossal hole in our national debt in order to pay for the enormous tax breaks for corporations and wealthy investors, which puts critical entitlement programs at risk—Speaker Ryan has already said that in order to balance the deficit created by the tax plan, Republicans will seek to make drastic cuts to Medicare and Social Security, putting millions of senior's livelihoods in jeopardy and endangering the futures of millions who will one day benefit from these programs.
"To add insult to injury, this bill encourages major corporations to outsource their jobs to our foreign competitors—despite President Trump calling himself the ultimate job creator. Since passage of the Republican tax plan, more than 30,000 layoffs have been announced from major companies across the nation.
"This is not the only instance of President Trump failing the American worker—prior to taking office, he repeatedly promised to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the disastrous trade deal that has decimated American manufacturing and sent hundreds of thousands of middle-class jobs overseas. While the Trump administration has taken steps to improve our nation's unfair trade policies with our partners, in particular Chinese and Canadian subsidies into our hardwood and softwood industries, we have not seen enough commitment from this administration to push for a new NAFTA agreement that protects not only our workers but our environment, consumer safety, and U.S. sovereignty.
"Tonight we heard President Trump applaud the repeal of a critical pillar of the Affordable Care Act–a move expected to leave more than 13 million Americans without health insurance coverage and raise premiums by ten percent. I have never said that the Affordable Care Act was a perfect bill, but these heartless cuts to coverage will do nothing but take our country back to the days when the number one cause of bankruptcy for Americans was medical costs from catastrophic injury or unexpected illness. While Republicans spent endless hours laser-focused on undoing President Obama's signature achievement, they left critical safety net programs including the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and Community Health Centers (CHCs), unfunded for months. Their obsession with repealing the Affordable Care Act has created tremendous instability in the health insurance marketplace, causing premiums to skyrocket, yet they offer no solutions to provide relief to the American families impacted by their partisanship."
"Tonight, I had hoped that President Trump would provide Congress with his vision for a real, robust plan to invest at least $1 trillion to rebuild our nation's crumbling roads, bridges, ports, airports, water infrastructure and transit systems. Unfortunately, the President once again delivered a nothing burger, providing only generic talking points without any specific details about how he plans to address our infrastructure crisis.
"As I have repeatedly said, if the Administration wants bipartisan support they must offer an infrastructure plan that strengthens the Federal commitment to our national transportation network by providing sustainable, long-term funding, and filling the crater in the Highway Trust Fund. President Trump cannot pretend to solve our infrastructure woes by slashing real investments to States and local governments, pushing the responsibility off Federal balance sheets, cutting existing transportation programs to pay for Wall Street and foreign investors to toll our roads, and gutting bedrock environmental protections. Regrettably, the Administration's plan will likely do just that.
"We need to invest in rebuilding America, not sell it off. If the President is serious about developing a bipartisan plan to invest in infrastructure, he needs to forward a plan that both Democrats and Republicans can support."
"I invited as my guest tonight Jesus Narvaez, a young man from Eugene who is a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program recipient and attends Lane Community College, where he is studying to become a teacher. Jesus is one of millions of immigrants who were brought into the United States through no fault of their own by their parents at a young age and have only known this country as their home. President Trump's decision to terminate the DACA program is not only heartless, it has thrown millions of lives into turmoil, and if the President does not work with Congress to resolve the issue, young people across the country will be forced to leave behind their families and the only life they have ever known.
"However, there is no question that our current immigration system is broken and that Congress and the president must act to effectively reform the system and secure our borders. Throughout my time in Congress, I have continually fought to restrict individuals from entering the United States who would do our citizens harm—whether it be through terrorist attacks, drug smuggling, or gang violence.While we need smart investments in our border security efforts, a multi-billion dollar wall on our southern border will not stop migrants from entering our country, and it will not stop criminals from smuggling drugs across the border. As new ideas on how to best repair our broken immigration system are put forward in the coming weeks, I will be sure to look carefully at each proposal to ensure that it is both a wise use of our taxpayer dollars and will be a true solution to keep our nation safe from terrorists, drug runners, and gang violence.
"As members of Congress, our number one priority in the coming weeks must be to avert another government shutdown. We cannot run our country on a month-to-month budget—it is not only reckless, but it puts our nation at risk and degrades our military readiness. Defense Secretary Mattis has repeatedly warned against operating our government under a near-constant continuing resolution, saying 'no enemy in the field has done more to harm the readiness of the U.S. military than…operating in nine of the last 10 years under continuing resolutions.'

dc.identifier.citation Caley, S. and Whitworth, A. and Claessen, M. 2016. Can we separate verbs from their argument structure?: A group study in aphasia. International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders.52 (1): pp. 59-70.
Background: Given the integral role that verbs play in sentence production, understanding verb deficits is critical to clinical practice. Difficulties in sentence production are often directly related to an inability to retrieve argument structure information which, according to most theoretical accounts, is specified at a lexical level as part of the semantic representation of the verb. The presence of an argument complexity effect when retrieving verbs in isolation, i.e. increased difficulty with increasing number of arguments required by the verb, is considered evidence of the integral link between verbs and the ensuing structure. Recent reports, however, of relatively intact verb retrieval and impaired argument structure suggest that difficulties with verbs and argument structure may not always co-occur. One explanation for this is that lexical–syntactic information may be stored separately to lexical–semantic information at the lemma level and then differentially impaired. Aims: To determine whether the presence of difficulties creating argument structure in a group of people with aphasia with verb-retrieval deficits consistently aligned with the underlying nature of their impairment, where semantic involvement resulted in argument structure difficulties and post-semantic impairment resulted in intact argument structure. This would provide evidence either to support or to challenge the view that argument structure is lexically specified. The presence of an argument complexity effect within the participants' single verb naming was also investigated to examine the relationship between verb argument information and any subsequent difficulties creating argument structure for sentence production. Methods & Procedures: Verb retrieval and argument structure production were investigated in 12 people with aphasia with verb-retrieval deficits on single-word and sentence-production measures. Outcomes & Results: Eight of the 12 participants presented with a semantic verb deficit (five semantic and three mixed semantic and phonological) and had difficulties in creating argument structure. Four participants presented with a phonological verb deficit. Of these, two had intact argument structure while two had impaired argument structure. An argument complexity effect in verb naming was seen in both groups. Conclusions & Implications: Semantic verb-retrieval deficits consistently resulted in argument structure production difficulties, supporting the view that syntactic information is stored within the lemma. The presence of argument structure difficulties in two participants with phonological deficits; however, lends support for the separate coding of lexical–syntactic from lexical–semantic information at the lemma level, a factor that has both theoretical and clinical implications with respect to diagnosis and management.


Operating under the conviction that youth should be with their families and served in their communities whenever and wherever possible, SCYAP's Community-Based Services are non-residential services that are provided within the youth/family's home, school or community. Services are provided at times when our youth and families can best access them (i.e., afterschool, in the evenings, on weekends). The overarching goals of the programs provided in the SCYAP community-based array of services are to treat and maintain youth in their homes, prevent out-of-home placements, promote stability and positive family functioning, decrease involvement with (or further involvement with) the juvenile justice system, and to develop a positive life quality for youth and their families.

Resort Insight
Why go skiing here
Four villages located south-east of Moutiers in the vast 3 Vallées ski area.
Illustrious lift-linked neighbours include Méribel, Les Menuires, Saint-Martin de Belleville and Val Thorens.
High-altitude terrain makes this one of the more snow-sure areas in the Alps.
Courchevel is part of the 3 Valleys, the world's largest ski area.
Courchevel's own terrain (and cheaper lift pass) could be all you need.
Billed as the world's largest ski domain, the 3 Vallées really do offer something, somewhere for all skier levels and tastes. While not exactly being in the very heart of it all, skiers based in the Courchevel sector do at least have a capable lift system which allows confident intermediates to see and ski it all, given sufficient time. The obvious proviso of setting out early isn't just to ensure that you enjoy the best snow quality; you'll also minimise any disruption when passing through the potential bottleneck of Méribel.
Once that's safely behind you there are some enjoyable long, open cruises down to Saint-Martin de Belleville, a wider choice of runs into Les Menuires, the celebrated high-altitude terrain above Val Thorens and finally the largely red-graded terrain of the Orelle sector. Make it that far and your legs will be well aware that you've come a long way from your starting point.
If the full 3 Vallées lift pass sounds like overkill, then you might just find Courchevel's home terrain sufficiently varied and extensive to keep you happily entertained for a full week. In fact, there's well over 1600m of vertical drop in this sector alone, and if you decide to get that figure under your skis then you'll also discover lower villages like Saint Bon (1100m), Courchevel Le Praz (1300m) and La Tania (1400m).
New for the winter 2019/20 season is a new 10-seater gondola lift that connects the lower village of Courchevel Le Praz to the centre of Courchevel 1850 in under 6 minutes. There's also new 4-seater chairlift linking the new 4-star Écrin Blanc hotel, opposite the Aquamotion aquafun centre, to Courchevel 1850. A new 1-kilometre blue run will also provide access to the area.
For skiers seeking Freeride thrills in a managed environment, head for Les Creux Noirs and the Freeride LAB, Courchevel's powder snow laboratory. This demanding high-altitude sector leading to renowned off-piste areas and unique panoramic views is reachable on foot or ski touring skis (100m difference in height). Here, 2 red runs and a black run are left ungroomed but made safe throughout the winter.
And even more for thrill seekers... the Eclipse piste has been made for the World Cup in 2022 and the 2023 World Ski Championship but this new legendary piste opens to the public in winter 21/22. The statistics alone are mind-blowing - 960m vertical drop and 3.2km in length, the departure is at la Loze in Courchevel 1850 and finishes at 1290m in Le Praz.
With ski touring becoming more popular, Courchevel has created two marked, groomed itineraries. One is 3.2 km long over a 500-metre vertical climb, and another is 5 km long over a 1,000 metre climb. Starting out from Courchevel Le Praz, one of the routes arrives at 1,850 metres and the other at the Col de la Loze mountain pass. Courchevel Moriond is now home to 'La Trace', a signposted but ungroomed itinerary. Starting at Le Belvédère, it goes up into the forest, by the side of Les Chapelets run, arriving at the top of Le Signal.
Altitude : 1300m - 2738m

Ski Resort Lifts : 58
Ski Domain Lifts: 180
38 Chairlifts

Green Credentials...
Since winter 2021, lifts at Courchevel are considered as transport for all between the villages and not just reserved for use by skiers. The stated objective is to reduce road traffic and thus the emissions of CO2 and to reduce travel times. Visitors can attend an event or dine out in one of the Courchevel villages. As for seasonal workers, they can get to their place of work without taking their vehicle.
Other ski resorts in the Three Valleys
Skiing on this side of the Three Valleys will bring savings on accommodation whilst having access to what is billed as the World's Largest Ski Area.
Situated in the Trois-Vallées (the world's biggest ski area), Brides-les-Bains offers great accommodation choices at low cost.
We ski Courchevel Moriond, a rising star of the French Alps with 150km of local terrain. If that's not enough, a great lift system lets you explore the vast 3 Valleys ski area, with a potential 600km of varied pistes to enjoy.
Stay in this family-friendly, authentic mountain village with chalet-style accommodation and enjoy high-speed access to 600km of slopes in the Three Valleys ski area.
Orelle-Val Thorens
High-speed gondola access to Val Thorens and the fabulous Three Valleys have put this small village in the Maurienne valley on the map for keen, budget conscious skiers.
The Ski Village
Courchevel consists of a range of villages from 1300m to 1761m altitude.
Courchevel-Moriond sits at the edge of the ski area but is efficiently well-connected.
The name applies to four villages – five if you include La Tania – all of which have edged upmarket as the blue-chip '1850 effect' has filtered down the mountain. The lowest is Courchevel Le Praz (1300m), with a relaxed, traditional vibe, high-speed gondola lift access to just below Courchevel (formerly known as Courchevel 1850) and a longer high-speed six-seater chair up to 1902m above La Tania. One more chairlift ride and you're dropping in on Méribel (a comment which applies equally to neighbouring La Tania).
Next up is family-oriented Courchevel Village (1550m) in the Vallée du Bozel, with a choice of short chairlift rides direct to Courchevel, or a pisted run down to Le Praz.
Altitude-wise, the next village is Courchevel Moriond (1650), which sits at the very edge of the piste-map, but is connected to other areas quite efficiently by a high-speed gondola and a chairlift. The pedestrian exit from its large multi-level underground car park feeds conveniently direct onto the front-de-neige.
Highest of all is Courchevel, one of France's earliest purpose-built ski developments, thanks largely to a ski-in/ski-out location at 1761m. Today most skiers based here will be heading up, rather than down, to ski the area's extensive home terrain or heading to Méribel and beyond.
Staying There
Value for Money Accommodation Dining Out Nightlife Village Charm
Courchevel Moriond is a Famille Plus resort
Famille Plus is a national label awarded to tourist destinations offering a special welcome and services tailored to families and children.
See Practical Information below for accommodation suggestions.
Why go skiing in Courchevel Moriond ?
The 3 Vallées' big selling-point of unparalleled mileage will appeal to those with the skill and stamina to exploit its full potential. For debutants, though, that's obviously academic, and there are much cheaper places in which to become a skier. Plenty of people do, of course, and each village has its own reassuring dedicated beginner terrain, so it's a viable option for families and mixed-ability groups.
Family-friendly and welcoming to all-ages, Courchevel bears the Famille Plus label. There's always plenty of entertainment and activities adapted to suit all ages, special rates, accessible services and shops. Plus, the whole resort makes coming skiing with small children much easier. There are 7 Piou-piou childrens' learning areas, kid-friendly hotels, comfortable ski-school reception area, special on-mountain kid's fun areas etc. Teenagers aren't forgotten either, with skier- and boarder-cross, freeride and jump sessions and a free Aquamotion pass given with every Team Rider ESF course in Courchevel Moriond. For all learners there are numerous free lifts and 'easy-ride' safe skiing areas throughout the resort.
Advanced skiers have celebrated tough challenges like the Grand Couloir and Couloir Tournier (both accessed from beside the Saulire cable-car top station) or discover numerous off-piste itineraries, which local guides are happy to reveal.
Perhaps equally important to those who return year after year is Courchevel's brag-value – most of your friends are going to be impressed. The reputation has substance, too – everything, from the piste preparation and capable lift system to Michelin-starred restaurants, vibrant après-ski and near-limitless bespoke services, has a premium stamp.
If, on the other hand, you're simply an intermediate on-piste leisure skier here to find out what all the fuss is about, you're unlikely to be disappointed, as long as you're not also hoping for an away-from-it-all experience. International celebrity status means that for most of the time you'll have company, wherever you head.

Fine cuisine – or a burger?
With 21 Michelin stars and 12 gastronomic restaurants, the Trois Vallées ski area is renowned for its fine cuisine. We've sampled one or two, but for most of the time we're looking for down-to-earth prices and tasty, satisfying mountain food. If the ubiquitous pizza (starting at around 12€ for a Margherita in Courchevel Moriond) doesn't appeal, try La Folie Douce at Méribel or Val Thorens for appealing restaurant menues in the dairy-themed La Fruitière restaurants, which champion local ingredients.
Alternatively, head to its Petite Cuisine for a pasta/burger-type snack, if that's more your style. We can also recommend La Voute in the village at SaintMartin de Belleville, with a café ambiance and a good plat-du-jour at a reasonable price.
For cheaper lunchtime meals, prices start at around 12€ for burgers or panini, frites and a drink. We ate at Le Chrome Bar at the foot of the pistes in La Tania, which offers a vegetarian, fish or beef burger, chips and a beer for 12€. We also found Les Castors snack and takeaway to be good value and friendly. Situated near the foot of the Tougnette 1 lift in Méribel centre, we paused to grab panini, frites and soft drinks, again for 12€.
7 of Courchevel's restaurants currently hold Michelin stars, the highest concentration in the mountains.
LE 1947***, Cheval Blanc Courchevel 5-starPALACE – Le 1947 elegantly conducts a waltz of flavour and expertise composed by chef Yannick Alléno. His modern mountain cuisine is both bold and creative, and skilfully showcases regional produce.
LE CHABICHOU**, Le Chabichou**** – Le Chabichou is part and parcel of Courchevel's heritage. Whilst Michel Rochedy and his wife, who had owned the property since 1963, recently handed over the reins to a new family, executive chef Stéphane Buron will continue to ensure the restaurant remains a hotspot for French gastronomy.
LE KINTESSENCE**, K2 5-starPALACE – Under the aegis of talented chef Jean-Rémi Caillon, whose cuisine is all about flavour, Le Kintessence has created the perfect blend between the mountain environment and quality seasonal produce, resulting in exquisite taste sensations.
LE MONTGOMERIE**, K2 Altitude 5-star hotel – Gatien Demczyna's extremely delicate creations carefully combine ingredients from his birthplace – the Rhône Alpes region, with exceptional produce from elsewhere.
LE BAUMANIÈRE 1850*, Le Strato 5-star hotel – This Courchevel gastronomy highlight comes from Jean-André Charial. Mentored by the Michelin-starred chef,
Thomas Prod'Homme and his team now hold the reins full time. The menu is Mediterranean-inspired with Savoyard influences, resulting in a beautiful marriage of flavours.
LE FARÇON* – An instinctive and passionate chef, Julien Machet's cuisine is just like him. Influenced by his grandmother Mado, from whom he draws inspiration, he loves working with raw produce and enhancing it with inventiveness and generosity.
LE SARKARA*, K2 5-starPALACE – In February 2019, Le SarKara became the first gastronomic dessert restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star. Handmade sweet treats by talented "pastry chef of 2018" Sébastien Vauxion, come as a light starter, a hot main course and a gourmet dessert.

Insight: Courchevel Moriond
Driving up from Moûtiers to Courchevel Moriond reveals just how much things have changed since our previous visit, with lower villages having benefitted noticeably by association with blue-chip Courchevel (formerly Courchevel 1850). Courchevel Moriond follows suit, and keeps its ski credentials largely hidden from those passing through en-route for the topmost spot.
Skiing from Courchevel Moriond, whether you're a day-visitor or planning to stay, means getting to know the Cimes Blanches public car park – initially a slightly bewildering experience, for which the payback is great convenience, since there's direct access to the lift pass office and ski lifts on the front-de-neige (shown above). For us the even better news is that there's also direct access to our accommodation at the Hotel Les Cimes Blanches, (now the completely refurbished Fahrenheit Seven apartments). That's just as well, since parking, like most things here, doesn't come cheap.
Skiing back to the foot of the pistes at Courchevel-Moriond.
It's easy to travel long distances using the efficient lift network.
Passing the Altiport into Courchevel 1850.
Setting off from Courchevel Moriond
After picking up our lift passes we hop into one of the cabins of the adjoining Ariondaz high-speed gondola lift. Updated for the 2017/18 season, Ariondaz is now an ultra-modern, high-speed 8-seater lift. The haul up to Mont Bel-Air (2052m) gives us a useful overview of things on this side of the mountain, passing between mostly gentle, green-graded terrain before climbing more steeply, as green runs give way to blue and then red grading.
At the top there's a simple decision to make if you intend to remain in the Courchevel Moriond sector: either ski back down to the village on a choice of mostly wide, undemanding pistes or take a red or blue cruise over to the Chapelets six-seater high-speed chairlift serving three rewarding reds which drop from Le Signal (2250m). During our stay, though, snow conditions make us more inclined to join the many skiers taking the third option of following an initially gentle blue down to the foot of another nearby lift.
Down to Courchevel or continue to Méribel?
The powerful six-seater Aiguille du Fruit chair (below, left) hauls us up through the tree-line and over a couple of ridges before dropping us a few minutes later at 2400m. From here it's a gentle run all the way down into Courchevel, with overviews of air traffic movements at Courchevel's famous Altiport to make things a little more entertaining.
It's an easy liaison, and if you've set your sights further afield then transferring from the Aiguille du Fruit chair to nearby Marmottes six-seater or the slightly-longer four-seat Suisses will get you up to La Vizelle (2659m) for a choice of fairly steep onward runs into Méribel Mottaret (1750m), Méribel Centre 1450m or all the way down to Méribel Village (1400m). If you're not a confident skier (the pistes can get quite churned up, due to the number of skiers heading down) the Saulire Express offers a gondola ride down.
Courchevel 1850, the heart of the network of lifts and where skiers pause to appreciate their surroundings.
La Croisette, Couchevel 1850, where skiers are relaxing in the sun.
Dropping in on Courchevel (and Courchevel 1550)
We take the Altiport piste and head past the world's steepest international airport until the piste eventually feeds onto the super-wide Verdons for the classic final approach to Courchevel's front de neige. We don't stop just yet, though. Instead we let our skis run until we reach Courchevel Village (1550m), looking noticeably quieter and less the place to be seen than its hip neighbour.
To get back to Courchevel we could have taken the six-seater Tovets chairlift but opt for the slower Grangettes gondola, whose slightly higher arrival point drops us conveniently right in the heart of La Croisette. It's a good place to be, since on the opposite side of the complex are the departure points for three gondola lifts: Chenus, Verdons and Jardin Alpin.
Over to La Tania for lunch
In addition to serving gentle novice terrain, the latter also drops skiers above the Biollay chairlift, for access to the Saulire cable-car. That makes it a viable alternative to the longer, more direct Verdons gondola which most skiers heading for Méribel and beyond via the cable car will be taking. For now we take Chenus, which heads up to 2238m for a choice of descents into La Tania.
They turn out to be quite steep, with tree-lined lower sections – one of the attractions of being based on this side of the 3 Valleys, particularly if winds or poor visibility compromise things higher up the mountain. As for La Tania, yes, it's high-rise but not unpleasantly so, and its sheltered location, friendly vibe and down-to-earth prices make it a great lunch-spot.
Heading up from La Tania – to where, exactly?
We've covered some distance from Courchevel Moriond to reach La Tania but we're still within the area covered by the Courchevel Valley lift pass. With 150km of pistes and over sixty lifts, that's more than you'll find at even some linked-domain ski areas elsewhere – and we still have the pistes of Courchevel Le Praz (1300m) and Saint Bon (1100m) to explore. That obviously requires good snow cover, in view of their more modest altitudes, but the pistes are mostly graded red, you'll be below the tree line and you can clock up an impressive 1640m or so of vertical drop between Saulire and Saint Bon. From the bottom a free shuttle bus will get you back to Courchevel Le Praz for a choice of lifts, depending whether you're heading for La Tania or Courchevel Village.
During our days skiing from Courchevel Moriond we were armed with full 3 Valleys passes, which enabled us to head further afield via Méribel. If you'll be doing the same be sure to read our Independent Resort Reviews of Les Menuires, Val Thorens and Orelle.
Thoughts on Courchevel Moriond as a base
Yes, it sits right on the edge of the piste map and might not look like an obvious choice, but that means that so far at least there's a refreshingly unpressured vibe. Word is getting out, though, and Courchevel Moriond's fortunes are clearly in the ascendent. As for the skiing, we enjoyed the local terrain, and soon came to know the routes to and from Méribel. How much distance you can cover will depend on snow conditions and your skiing/fitness level. If both are good then plan your route carefully in advance, set out early and you should be able to ski over to the Orelle sector and back in a day. You just have to hope that not too many other skiers have the same idea – not surprisingly, steeper key pistes can become moguled from mid-morning onwards, which can slow progress, as can peak time lift queues in Méribel Centre.
Come outside school holidays, though, and you'll enjoy premium skiing, great grooming, a capable lift system and near-limitless terrain to explore at your own pace. The rest is up to you.

New York's rookie quarterback will be under center and in the spotlight for the latest matchup of AFC East enemies Sunday at MetLife Stadium, with a 2-0 start to the season on the line.
It might not sound like much, but consider this: The Dolphins haven't opened with two wins since 2013, when they started 3-0. Meanwhile, the Jets haven't been 2-0 since Todd Bowles' first year as coach in 2015.
"All division games have that extra buzz around them, but I feel like when we play the Jets, it's always turned up just a little bit more," Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. "I don't know what makes it that way or why it's that way. Maybe it's just the competitiveness of the games, but there always is an energy that goes with playing against the Jets."
Weird things also tend to happen when these teams square off. The muddy AFC championship game won by the Dolphins during the 1982 postseason. The back-and-forth air show by Dan Marino and Ken O'Brien in 1986. Marino's fake spike in 1994. The Monday night "miracle" comeback by the Jets in 2000.
And, that's just to name a few.
"I definitely have the feel, with them and the Patriots," Miami wide receiver Jakeem Grant said. "I feel like it is a rivalry game."
"I feel like I live my whole life to play football and it's awesome to just be able to do that for a living," Darnold said. "I'm embracing it every single day."
"It was wild," Tannehill said, "but I'm really proud of our guys the way we responded."
New York had five interceptions against the Lions , including two by linebacker Darron Lee and one each by safety Jamal Adams and cornerbacks Morris Claiborne and Trumaine Johnson. Lee returned the first of his picks 36 yards for a touchdown, the Jets' first defensive score since 2013 — a span of 73 games that was the longest such drought in NFL history.
"It was definitely stepping stone in the right direction," Lee said. "We definitely want to build some consistency with that."
Miami's Frank Gore has 14,087 career yards rushing and needs 15 to surpass former Jets star and Pro Football Hall of Famer Curtis Martin (14,101) for fourth place on the NFL's list.
"It speaks volumes for what he's accomplished," Dolphins coach Adam Gase said. "It's unbelievable the amount of years he's played and the amount of carries he's had over his career and the success that he's had, the things that he's battled through."
If the Jets' kick coverage is good, perhaps Grant will have to put it in high gear. He said he didn't on his 102-yard runback last week against Tennessee for his first career touchdown on a kickoff return.
"I wasn't even running full speed," said the 5-foot-7 Grant, one of the NFL's fastest players. "I was actually three-quarters speed."
The third-year pro has career averages of 24.8 yards on kickoff returns and 7.7 on punt returns. So what's his top speed?
"All I can say is stay tuned," he said.
No other Jets running back has run for at least 100 yards and two scores in their debut with the team. With his 62-yard TD run, Crowell has six plays of 50 yards or more since 2015 — tied with New Orleans' Mark Ingram for the most by a running back during that span.
The Dolphins showed some new wrinkles on offense in their opener, and there's likely more where that came from.
"Some of that might be copied from somebody else that I used to be with," Gase said. "I've got a pretty good library of things that I can lean on."
