Because of the surrounding resorts, this area's beaches are among the most crowded in Puerto Vallarta. Playa las Glorias' gray-sand beach is popular for boating and parasailing. Around hotel row, street vendors hawk silver jewelry and other small souvenirs. Nearby, daily soccer matches take place at the municipal sports stadium, which also has a top-notch track and field facility.

I like the hotel , but the service was a bit slow. Also there were a lot of young people in the pool so kind of noisy. But overall the hotel is very nice.Hotels.com visszajelzések
"Great Place!"
We stayed at Secrets for our honeymoon in August. The hotel itself was beautiful. We did an upgrade for a swimout pool and preferred club package which I would definately recommend. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and always willing to go out of their way to make our stay the best. The hotel was a great mix of fun poolside activities and romance, […] which was perfect for our honeymoon. The food was great for an all inclusive resort. I would definately recommend Bordeaux for dinner. The spa was a little pricey, but also worth it. With any service they gave you an hour of use of the hydrotherapy pool area too, which was perfect for the one rainy day we had. It was the rainy season, but the weather was great. The beach/ocean was fabulous although a little rockier than the Atlantic oceanfronts we had been to previously; yet we were still able to swim and walk with ease in it. Overall, great place, great people, amazing time. We will be back!! További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Girls Week"
Our overall experience was excellent. The hotel is beautiful, fairly new, great staff, wonderful bar and restaurants. If you love beautiful white sand beach Puerto Vallarta is not the place for you. We knew this before booking. Our favorite restaurant was the Mexican, outstanding authentic Mexican food with ambiance and outstanding staff. Hotel only […] a $16 cab ride from airport and $6 to downtown, so great location. Our only issue was the drainage problem in the shower, however, we never reported it so it wasn't a big deal. P.s....the most comfy bed I've ever slept in, didn't want to leave it! További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések

"Relaxing, stress-free beautiful vacation"
The facilities of the hotel were great, right on the beach, plenty of pools to choose from. Great service from all of the hotel staff and fun entertainment team during the day at the pools. Room was perfect, great view of the ocean and if I ever had any questions, the hotel staff were quick to answer.Valódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Exceptional Service!!"
My husband and were at Secrets from July 30 to August 1 with another couple. The hotel was beautiful, the food was very good (my favourites were The Tapanyaki Grill and Bordeaux), the service and staff was exceptional. Beach was a bit rocky, but we still swam a couple of days in the ocean. We took advantage of the $40 coupon and had a luxury massage […] at the spa, which included the hydrotherapy pool. If we ever go back to P.V., we will definitely stay at Secrets. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Nice Hotel but not a good beach experience"
I really enjoyed my stay at the Secrets in Vallarta, but the area surrounding the resort and the town of Puerto Vallarta not so much. The resort reminded me very much of a cruise ship experience. The resort tried to keep you busy with games and shows to distract you for the fact that there was not much else to see in Puerto Vallarta. I found myself […] not wanting to leave the property because as soon as you left the grounds you are constantly bombarded we people trying to sell you things. It is very tiring saying "no thank you". Even on the beach at the hotel, vendors camp on the property line and wave their wares at you will your trying to relax, not the beautiful beach pictures shown on the resort website. I would like to say that Vallarta is a beautiful sleepy fishing village, but it is not. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"nice adult only hotel on the beach,"
Centrally located 15 min by car from Malacon. V good food and service, great friendly staff and hydro therapy spa Beach ok for good swimmers, has pebbles at base and steep slope. During rainy season gets the silt run-off from nearby rivers draining into the Vallarta Bay. Great view and sunset from the lobby.Valódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Everything is close by."
We had an issue with the AC unit on the first night but that was quickly remedied and no further issues. Food at the French restaurant was our fav the rest were so so. Pools are nice cool and not too crowded. Grounds and view are spectacular. Venders are a bit much but everyone needs to make a buck. Town is awesome and only a $6 cab ride away. Pipis […] restaurant is a must for dinner. Treat yourself you will not be disappointed. Bar and pool staff outstanding service. And if you can afford to go on vacation don't be a cheap SOB. TIP AND TIP OFTEN those guys deserve it especially after dealing with thankless tight wads all day. Enjoy. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések

the experience was amazing and very memorable, i would definately stay againValódi Expedia visszajelzések
17 in our group, stayed from 07/13-07/18. I can't think of any negative about this resort! The staff went above and beyond our expectations. Mario and Alex at the pool were superb! As well as, Israel and Efrain. Alejandro kept us entertained, for sure! If there was something we wanted, they would make it happen. The drinks were premium and had Bud Light […] cans available (an Okie favorite and we went through a ton of it). All rooms had a view of the ocean. The A/C worked perfectly and the rooms were fantastic! The pools were awesome, the beach was nice too! The restaurants were good, some great. You won't leave hungry! Room service is awesome! We will definitely be making another trip to a Secrets Resort! További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések

"Best hotel on the beach"
I stayed at the hotel in late June which happened to be the rainy season which I did my know in advance but still had a wonderful time and could spend all day at the pool because it was still plenty hot out. Judging by the appearance of the other hotels in the area along the beach I could tell I that Secrets was one of the top 5 on the beach if not […] the best. The staff was wonderful, I don't say that lightly. They truly went out of there way to wait on you hand and foot which I found surprising at first but realized they were truly interested in the customer having a great stay. The hotel room was fantastic, seemed almost too good to be true. Very comfortable, well designed, fantastic view and luxurious. With free room service it made the room nearly impossible to leave at times. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Worth every penny!"
My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick vacation destination. We booked with the Secrets resort, and were not disappointed! The service here was impeccable, from the time that we got to the resort, where we were greeted with a glass of champagne and a cool towel, to the pool side waiters, to the time that we left. I had read how bad the food was […] in resorts, but this was not bad at all! (The food in Secrets is MUCH better than the food in Now Amber.) Bordeaux was our favorite, and the breakfast buffet was full of delightful treats. The people here waited on you hand and foot, and had a smile on their face the entire time. The rooms were nice (although I did have a little trouble with the mold smell from time to time). We would certainly go back. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"If I could give 10 stars I would!"
This adults only resort looks great online, and even better in person ! Not often does that happen. I spent months researching every tropical location and resort that I could think of for our vacation and finally settled on Secrets Puerto Vallarta. When we arrived the staff was warm and friendly, not pushy in any way. The first thing you see when you […] arrive is this gorgeous open aired reception area with comfy lounge chairs and a killer view. I spent a lot of time relaxing there. There are two large pools (one with a swim up bar) and several smaller pools and one even looked like it may have been a hot tub jacuzzi. All of the included alcohol is top shelf (corona, grey goose, crown, absolut, don Julio, etc) and the mini bar in the room was well stocked too with water, coronitas, diet coke and more! The entire property was spotless and the staff was super friendly and helpful. We ate at Oceana for lunch, the ceviches were super fresh, we had dinner at himitsu one night and the food was awesome as well. The breakfast buffet has a great selection and everything is great there too! I literally have not one single complaint about this place. We walked to the malecon one evening, it's not too far but the area is a little rough so I would suggest taking a quick cab ride. Also, there are two massage parlors right outside the front gate of the resort that offer 60min couples massages for $50 total. That's a much better price than the $190 the resort spa wanted!

"Great adult's only hotel."
We spent 4 nights at the Secrets Vallarta Bay hotel and loved every minute of it. The wife and I take at least one trip to all-inclusive type resorts in Mexico yearly. This was our first trip to Puerto Vallarta. It's only a 10 minute cab ride from the airport and parts of the city are within walking distance. I could definitely see myself coming back […] to this resort once we make our rounds to other parts of the Caribbean that we want to see.The food was great (the Japanese restaurant was fabulous) and reservations were easy to make for the hibachi grill. If you wanted to eat sushi or off the regular menu, reservations were not required. The other dinner restaurants were good, but we kept going back for sushi, if just for pre-dinner appetizers. We've stayed at 5 resorts like this one before and the room here at Secrets was the best we've ever had as far as temperature goes. The AC worked great unlike some other resorts were the AC runs all day but it never seems to truly get cold in the room. The ceiling fan put out a lot of air and was extremely quite (both things that are instrumental in me sleeping well at night). The only real downside about the resort is the beach / ocean area. The sand on the beach is OK. It's not as good as Cozumel, but it's 10x better than Cabo. The water is not very clear, so snorkeling is really out of the question. If there was more of a beach presence, it would be great, but that may not be possible and still be within the city. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Great choice for a romantic getaway"
Came here for a romantic getaway / long weekend with my husband. Turns out it was rainy season, but that didn't bother us at all. We were fully equipped with a jacuzzi tub on our balcony, umbrellas to walk from restaurant to restaurant, room service if we didnt want to leave and a full bar in our building tower itself. This was perfect for us as we […] were not coming this time to do any activities or touristy items, we just wanted to relax and enjoy each other's company. Which is what we did.

"Great hotel right on the beach and convenient"
We had a nice 8 day stay at the hotel. Everything was new and in working order (air conditioning was heavenly on the muggy days). The staff was pleasant and helped us out when we had questions. It was convenient to the boardwalk and the marina so we were able to go out and about for short trips. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay. It was our second […] Secrets vacation and we plan to stay at a new location in the future! További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Vacation Wonderland!!!"
The moment you arrive they greet you with champagne and give you VIP treatment from that point ON you are spoiled! The Secrets all inclusive hotel is 1yr old very chic & sexy! The staff is A-Mazing from the front desk to poolside & bellman service. The food is delicious, all restaurants are a la carte and premium alcohol. The food staff, spa comes out […] to pool deck and serve you, and give free massages! The beach is private and breath taking sunsets. Entertainment from dancing, music, shows and activities for all pleasures all inclusive! The Spa is stunning, first class treatments! We celebrated our 18yr wedding anniversary and the hotel made that day very special. We are addicted to Secrets and definitely will continue to book with these properties. already booking another! Thank you Secrets for a unforgettable trip!!! További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
We truly enjoyed our stay at Secrets Puerto Vallarta in June 2013. The hotel staff was very friendly and the food was good. The resort was well cared for. The room was clean, but the rug had a large ugly stain on it and the bed skirt had a large black stain down the side. I would not expect to see these things from a 5 star resort. Other than those […] two things, the room was very clean. That being said, it was a wonderful experience. Stop by and see "Scuba Lisa" with Vallarta Adventures.

"Beautiful resort in a gorgeous setting"
The resort is top notch, from the staff to the food, pools, and beach. All staff are bilingual, which is very helpful. On a side note, we were almost always hit with someone trying to upsale products and services. That would not keep me from coming back, though. We only stayed three nights, so we will be coming back to explore all we missed this time. […] The setting is picturesque, with the Sierra Madre mountains surrounding the town. Can't wait to go back!

Came to Secrets for our honeymoon and was floored by the level of service and amenities. Delicious restaurants and fun activities that cater to both relaxing and adventurous guests.

"All that glitters......sometimes is gold"
Where do I start.....The food was fantastic at all the restaurants,however the Oceanside restaurant called Oceana was particularly phenomenal,they offer steak and seafood.Capers, an Italian cuisine was well versed in pasta carbonara ,however I heard from 2 people their steak was mediocre. The swim up bar Manatees was fun,Juan Valdez will entertain you […] with different drink specialties. The beach stunk....full of rocks which kept you out of the ocean, but the pools more than made up for that. They have a lot of daily activities like beach volleyball as well as water volleyball,yoga on the beach,and water jazzercize in a pool.Hugo is the activities director who is real fun to be around...lots of energy.The barefoot grille offers lots of options for lunch by the pool which are tasty. The bottom line is workers there will ask you your name and REMEMBER them,makes you feel like you've been there before. The place is clean,and very safe,nobody gets into the complex unless you belong there,also,when you leave they get your room number,I think they keep track of you! Highly recommend the resort,it was our 1st time to an all inclusive and I was very pleased. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések

"Nice new Hotel in Puerto Vallarta"
The hotel is newly constructed (about a year old), and it is nicely done with understated elegance. The grounds are immaculate and are maintained very well. The beach is nice, but one end (towards Puerto Vallarta) has an empty lot and an abandoned partially constructed hotel, which are an eye sore. The hotel staff is friendly and provide excellent […] service. We went in June first week and the place was not crowded at all. There was no problem finding beach chairs. The restaurants (other than the Hibachi tables at the Japanese Restaurant) do not require any reservations and you can get in any time without wait - which is great compared to other all inclusive places, where you have to get up in the morning to reserve restaurants. There are about 8 restaurants and about 4 are open on any given day - may be because it was a low season. Unfortunately, the menu at the restaurants does not change - so if you are staying for a number of days, it can get boring. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"NOT what we expected for our honeymoon"
This hotel was not what we expected. The service and cleaniless were basically the only things we weren't disappointed by. The food was marginal at best, the drinks were watered down (the only way to get some sort of a buzz is by drinking beer...and I think they replace expensive brands of alcohol with cheaper ones in the same bottle), and the decor […] was ug. We've stayed at the Excellence in Cancun and that resort is a million times better! We will never be back, and we will never recommend to a friend. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Great resort, rocky beach"
As a couple we loved the resort. The room was great and the grounds were beautiful. The beach itself was a little short of my expectations. It was very rocky, to the point you had a hard time getting in the water. It also was loaded with small vendors trying to sell you everything under sun. All in all it was a very nice place and would recommend it […] to my friends. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
I never give reviews, but felt I had to after this trip. We had a Jr suite, which was a beautiful room with a beautiful view. The service from the staff was better service than I have ever received in the States. The pictures we took and any word I can use to describe it couldn't do it justice. We had an amazing time, only left the resort once. My wife […] and I needed to relax and that's exactly what we did while at the pool with Mauricio and Miguel bringing us drinks. I would recommend this resort to anyone, especially couples. They do have a hotel connected to secrets, Now, which is for families, however, the kids are not allowed into Secrets or in the Secrets pool/beach area. Looking forward to our next trip there.

"Get a swim-out room!"
The hotel was beautiful and continually cleaned and kept up. There are many different dining options, we loved Himitsu and Bordeaux. The pools and deck area are wonderful. We spent every day laying by and hanging out in the pools. The staff work very hard and served us well! Tip them, they deserve it! We had a non-preferred swim-out room, which I would […] highly recommend. We could hang out with some privacy and the pool staff made sure our drinks were full even in our private pool. Instead of using the resort's spa, I went right outside the resort and got an amazing massage for $25 at Healing Hands! Definitely would recommend that because it was so cheap.

"Great for couples"
First time at an all-inclusive for me and my husband. Every single employee here was very friendly and helpful. Only downfall is we were told we would get us extra spa credit which the lady ended up telling us she couldn't get us the credit after using it as an incentive for us to attend their vacation club presentation which we were told would be 90 […] mins w breakfast but ended up being over two hours. But again since the guy was nice we didn't complain. Overall very nice and modern. We stayed in the jr suite preferred king rm w swim out and totally worth the upgrade!

This hotel is top notch. Stay on the Secret side and you will only have great things to say to all you come into contact with. The family side is just that, for families. Nothing wrong with that but I was on my honeymoon. Mid May was only 35% occupancy. That meant little or no waiting for service or to get seated for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The hotel is VERY nice. It's very clean and beautiful. The main lobby is breath-taking. The service is mostly good. Depends are where you and and who is working. The food is ok. I was actually disappointed more than pleased with my meals. The music at the hotel is dreadful...it literally brings down the happy feel-good vacation mood that I like to be […] in.

I had a wonderful experience with the hotel and my stay. I went with my boyfriend and we stayed on the preferred side which is the adults only side. It was very relaxing and accomadating.

The bartender […] in the preferred downstairs bar was very attentive and knew our favorite drink orders by the end of the stay. We did not go to any of the shows or utilize any of the activities as we were there for more of a relaxing stay. This resort would be best for couples as most of the people on our side were couples.

"Great hotel but not of you are looking for peace"
Great hotel - really surpassed our expectations and didn't feel like an All Inclusive. Food was great and they hotel looks fantastic. The beach at the hotel isn't great and so if that's important to you then I'd stay elsewhere. The only other thing that I'd say lets the hotel down is that you can get wedding groups - they were loud and brash, shouting […] and swearing around the pool area. It's such a shame as it's not in keeping with the resort. It's not helped by the entertainment team who are also very loud and encourage rowdy behaviour by organising games like Tequilla Volleyball. It's an adult only resort and so not sure why there's a need to entertain everyone! We just like relaxing in peace. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések

The hotel and facilities are gorgeous. Incredibly beautiful and relaxing. All staff super friendly and the room was spacious with great views and decor. Quality overall.

Having said that, I'm typically a Green Flash guy. So it was with a little trepidation that I believed the hype on this beer. From the minute you pop the cap the hop fragrance takes hold of you. Smelled of weed and citrus, with a dash of pine. The first sip socks your jaw with hop pungency and light caramel tones. Then you notice the nice head and great color this brew displays. The alcohol is up there, being a DIPA, but doesn't overpower or take your buds off of the taste. Just enough kick on the back end. Very drinkable, and the mouthfeel is full, but not cottony. Overall one of my top 3 brews HANDS DOWN. Can't wait for 2-14-14...Get you some!

"Winter is a common time for pets to have dry skin and more dander," says Dr. Merry Crimi, hospital director of an AAHA-accredited hospital in Milwaukie, Oregon. "As soon as we turn the heat on in the fall, our skin and their's takes a little more care."
Take these steps to take care of your dogs hair and skin:
Dr. Crimi offers these suggestions for taking care of your cat's hair in the winter:
Warning signs that your pet has more than dry skin Pets scratch for many reasons, including allergies, parasites, or infection. All of these conditions may appear to be "dry skin" to the pet owner, but they actually require treatment by a veterinarian. Attempting home remedies may only complicate the problem or delay treatment. According to Dr. Crimi, you can't "assume that chewing and licking to the point of hair loss is from nerves. It usually isn't."
Plus, Dr. Crimi warns that often skin problems and poor hair quality in pets are merely symptoms of something else such as kidney, liver, adrenal or thyroid gland problems.
If notice any of these conditions or if the initial skin problem persists for more than a week, consult with your veterinarian for treatment.

Days Of Our Lives Recaps
DAYS Week of November 12, 2007
Philip volunteered to take Belle and Claire home and mentioned stopping for ice cream. Belle accused him of using Claire to get to her. Philip swore he had "no agenda" and suggested taking Claire to see Sami, filling Belle in about the wedding shootout. Philip and Claire left, and Belle phoned Shawn.
Bo, with Shawn by his side, asked Lucas if he shot EJ. Lucas swore he was home tending to the twins and wouldn't have left them to go shoot Sami's husband. Bo asked about Kate and informed Lucas that she'd threatened Stefano earlier. Bo and Shawn left, and Bo asked Shawn to go to the station and write up a report. Meanwhile Lucas took out his gun and packed it in a box. A messenger arrived, and Lucas instructed him to send the package by ground. The messenger noticed the address label and commented on Lucas sending the package to himself.
At the church, Roman flashed back to EJ's shooting. Abe asked where Roman was when it happened. Roman gave his alibi and noted that Bo had taken his gun away. A forensic agent and another cop discussed finding three spent bullet casings from three different locations. Abe noted three different guns were used. Hence, there were three separate shooters. Alone, Roman recalled aiming a gun at EJ, hearing three shots, then leaving.
Stefano told Sami that EJ might not live to see his son grow up because of her. Sami swore she had nothing to do with the shooting. Stefano said it was Sami's family, citing Roman as his top suspect. "My father is not a murderer," insisted Sami. Stefano asked what Sami thought Roman might have done if he'd caught Sami and EJ the night Johnny "was conceived." Sami admitted Roman would have killed EJ, but it would have been justifiable homicide. Stefano stormed off. Then, Philip, Claire and Belle arrived to lend Sami support. Lucas arrived next. Sami told him she couldn't go home while EJ was in surgery. It would set Stefano off. Lucas said the vendetta was over. Sami swore it wasn't. She had to stay and pretend she cared about EJ. Roman arrived, and Sami asked if he shot EJ. Roman swore he didn't. Then he noticed a bullet hole in Sami's dress. "Maybe EJ wasn't the only one who was supposed to die tonight," said Roman.
Kate arrived at the DiMera mansion and Rolf inspected her purse, having heard about her earlier gun-wielding. Stefano returned, grabbed Kate by the neck, and asked if she shot EJ. Kate insisted she didn't. Bo interrupted to question Stefano about Kate's earlier threats. Kate pooh-poohed the whole thing, and Stefano headed back to the hospital.
Bo asked where Kate was at the time of EJ's shooting and where she got a gun. Kate said she took a drive and bought a gun off the street for protection, but decided she didn't want it and threw it in a dumpster. Before leaving, Bo instructed Kate not to leave town. Bo went to the station, where Abe asked about Roman's gun. Bo said he took it and still had it, but admitted Roman had others. Abe noted that Shawn took off without saying where he was going. Bo was perturbed. Later, Kate got a call from Philip, asking what she was doing with a gun. Kate didn't want to discuss it. Philip insisted they would, the next morning. He still had the gun, and if Kate wasn't straight with him, he'd take it to the cops.
Shawn got his messages from Belle and raced home. Meanwhile, Belle and Philip returned to her room above the pub. Philip began professing his love and reminding Belle about their romp in the sack. Belle called it a mistake and asked Philip to go. Then, Philip kissed her, and she responded. Belle broke it off, telling Philip to go. Philip gave Belle a card with his private number on it. He told her to call him anytime and left. Shawn arrived, and he and Belle discussed Claire's accident and his work on the shooting case. Shawn noticed Claire's new Teddy bear and realized Philip drove mother and child home. Belle explained what happened and implored Shawn not to worry about Philip. She'd made it clear she was taken and told Philip she and Shawn had set a wedding date. Shawn was relieved and kissed Belle, while she remembered her romp with Philip.
Roman arrived at the hospital, telling Stefano he was there on official business. Stefano swore if EJ died, there was no Brady who would have a moment of peace. Dr. Berman emerged, and Roman asked if they'd removed the bullet from EJ. Dr. Berman admitted it was too risky. Stefano probed the doctor, who informed him EJ was paralyzed from the waist down. Stefano went to his son's beside. EJ called out for Sami and asked what happened. Stefano told EJ he was shot after he and Sami married.
Hope showed up at the church and asked if Bo had any leads on EJ's shooter. Bo said he had clues and suspects, but few leads. There were three shooters, and one was a good shot. Hope asked about Roman's place on the suspect list, then noted that he would never kill anybody. Bo admitted there were lots of suspects, like Lucas. Hope doubted Lucas would have done it. Bo mentioned Kate threatening the DiMeras earlier that day with a gun and how she claimed to have tossed it in a dumpster. Bo suspected Kate still had it. Roman arrived and informed Bo and Hope that EJ's surgeon couldn't remove the bullet in his spine. Bo wished he could get his hands on Kate's gun and suggested Roman spy on her. Roman refused, and the Brady brothers got into it. Roman swore if a judge ordered a search warrant, he'd be the first one at Kate's door, but he wouldn't work behind her back.
Sami told Lucas that if EJ died, Stefano was coming after them. Lucas promised they'd deal with it together, and they embraced. Sami noted that Stefano wanted her to go back to the hospital to be there for EJ. Lucas didn't care what happened to EJ. He got what he deserved and if Stefano came after them, he'd get the same. Sami said EJ was just trying to end the violence. Lucas reminded her how EJ forced her into getting married, threatening Stefano would kill everyone she loved. "If EJ doesn't pull through, that is exactly what's going to happen," noted Sami, mentioning something else that happened at the wedding: One of the bullets was meant for her. Lucas found the idea crazy. The phone rang and it was Stefano, noting that EJ was awake and asking for Sami. Sami told Lucas she had to go.
At the hospital, Stefano told EJ that Sami was on her way there. EJ realized he couldn't feel his legs and freaked out, realizing he was paralyzed. Stefano implored his son not to give up hope. EJ wanted Stefano to leave. Sami arrived and Stefano told her EJ needed his wife by his side. Stefano expected Sami's complete devotion. In turn, Sami expected Stefano to end the violence. Since Sami family "gunned down"
his son, Stefano called their truce as fragile as Sami's twins.
Kate met Philip to talk about the gun. She swore it had nothing to do with EJ's shooting. She'd bought the gun for protection, but never fired it. Philip noted there was powder residue on the handle. He demanded Kate tell him who shot it or he'd give it to the cops. Kate claimed she'd taken a few practice shots. Philip asked who gave Kate the gun, and she said it was a business associate. Philip didn't believe a word of it and asked Kate exactly what she did last night. Kate admitted going to the mansion and threatening to shoot EJ because of something he said to Lucas, but not going through with it. Then she went to the church and took out her gun, but couldn't decide who she hated more, EJ or Sami. Kate closed her eyes and her gun accidentally went off, just as she heard two other shots. Kate insisted she didn't shoot EJ, because the last person she was aiming at was Sami. Philip agreed to get rid of the gun, but urged Kate to come clean with Bo. Kate refused.
Chelsea, Stephanie and Morgan waited outside the dean's office for Ford's hearing to begin. Morgan said there wouldn't be any way to prove Ford drugged her. Cordy's testimony was the only way to nail him as the campus rapist. Dean Lochlan emerged with Billie and Jett and said Ford was on his way to present his side of the case. Ford arrived asking that they hurry things up because he had a date. Morgan accused Ford of drugging her and trying to rape her. "Can you prove it?" asked Ford, adding no one would believe her over the son of a board member. Chelsea got into it with Ford, while Steph flashed back to being attacked. Ford's wealthy lawyer father, Crawford, arrived and exchanged big hellos with his good pal the dean. Chelsea phoned Cordy and left a message. Ford and his dad entered the dean's office. Finally, Cordy arrived and sobbed that she couldn't testify. Steph flashed back to her attack.
Kayla entered the church to find Steve checking out the shooting site.
She began barraging him questions, finally cutting to the chase: "Where were you when EJ was shot?" Steve said he was at an auto shop buying a part for his car, but it was out of stock and he doubted anyone would remember him.
Kayla reminded Steve of the vows they made to each other in that church — namely, his promise never to lie to her. "Did you shoot EJ?"
demanded Kayla. Steve swore he didn't and suggested they leave. On his way out, Steve remembered EJ's shooting — where he heard gunshots, put his gun away and left the church.
Sami arrived at EJ's hospital room and asked how he was feeling. EJ said he couldn't move his legs. Sami offered her condolences, but EJ didn't buy it. She recounted how she'd held him when he was shot and sat with Stefano waiting to hear his prognosis. EJ didn't want his new bride's pity. Sami told EJ his condition might not be permanent. EJ ordered Sami to leave and be with Lucas. Sami asked about the vendetta. "Talk to my father and say this is what I want," instructed EJ, noting that he wanted Sami to go be happy with Lucas. She ordered EJ to stop feeling sorry for himself, but he insisted he had nothing to live for. Sami mentioned their son. EJ went on about not being able to chase after Johnny when he took his first steps or teach him to ride a bike.
Sami wanted EJ to fight. EJ wanted her to leave. She finally did, leaving Johnny's picture with him.
Lucas told Kate he wanted his gun back. He didn't want the police finding it and tracing it back to him. Kate said she gave the gun to Philip and explained how she'd threatened EJ and Stefano with it. Lucas demanded to know if Kate shot EJ, or Sami for that matter. Kate swore she didn't. She told Lucas she was sure Philip had disposed of the gun.
Lucas was somewhat relieved. If the police found the gun or found out he bought two guns the night EJ was shot, he'd go to the top of their suspect list. Kate asked if Lucas shot EJ, offering to cover for him. Lucas said it was a matter of time before they were both suspects in the shooting. Sami returned home. After Kate left, Sami told Lucas that EJ was paralyzed, had given up all hope, and urged her to go home to him and be a family. Lucas wondered how they could do that when Sami was still married to EJ. He encouraged Sami to lay down and get rest, while he went to tend to the twins. Colleen appeared to Sami, telling her she knew what she had to do to save EJ. Back at the hospital, it looked like it might be too late, as EJ began convulsing and his monitors sounded off. Stefano panicked as doctors and nurses raced in to save him.
Cordy sobbed to Billie and her sorority sisters that she couldn't testify against Ford, as everyone tried to convince her she had to. Chelsea recounted what happened between her and Dr. Rebert and how she immediately reported him to the hospital. Cordy went on about her parents being poor and not having the money to fight this in court. Besides, no one knew what she was going through. Stephanie, who was having flashbacks of her attack, blurted out that she did. Then, she quickly amended her words, noting that her mom had been raped and felt ashamed and like it was her fault, too, but she did report it. The gals encouraged Cordy not to be a victim and to take a stand. Finally, she agreed. Ford appeared and stared at her. Cordy relented. Morgan said she'd testify against Ford. She gave it her best shot, but Crawford made mincemeat out of her, noting Morgan had no proof Ford had spiked her drink and there were no witnesses to the supposed attack. To the sorority gals' horror, Ford was let go. Chelsea, however, had a plan: making sure everyone knew exactly what Ford had done. She suggested covering the entire campus with flyers telling all. After some hesitation, the sisters agreed to help.
Colleen tried to talk Sami into helping EJ, but she wasn't very receptive and told her look-a-like to stop annoying her. The pair went back and forth about EJ. "If he died, would you be able to live with yourself?" asked Colleen, urging Sami to tell EJ she loved him. Sami refused to lie to EJ. She loved Lucas. "Telling him you love him won't change how you feel about Lucas unless it's true. Is that what you're afraid of?" wondered Colleen. Meanwhile, Philip arrived at the door, and Lucas went out to the hall to talk to him. Lucas asked for the gun he gave Kate. Philip said he threw it in the lake and asked why Lucas wanted it so badly. Lucas explained that there was a bullet hole in Sami's dress. He was determined to find out if Kate's gun was responsible for it. Sami came out saying she had to run errands and asked Lucas to watch the twins. When Lucas went back into the apartment, Philip pulled the gun out of his pocket.
As doctors worked to save EJ, Stefano stepped into the hall and begged God to save his son. "What makes you think He'd listen to you?" asked Tony. Dr. Berman emerged noting that EJ had a fever and an infection. They were giving him antibiotics and doing all they could for him. Stefano told Tony he summoned him to help restore EJ's will to live.
Tony thought Stefano should be the one trying to save EJ's life, since he was responsible for almost destroying it. Kate arrived, and Stefano implored her to talk to EJ. After some coaxing, Kate agreed. She apologized to EJ for going to the mansion and threatening him, but swore she didn't shoot him. EJ went on about how Stefano taught him to take whatever he wants. That's why he took Sami, even though he knew she loves Lucas. EJ asked Kate to get Stefano. She obliged, then phoned Sami and told her to get to the hospital at once. EJ was dying. Stefano went in to talk to EJ, who asked him to get him a gun. Stefano returned to the hallway and recounted EJ's request to Tony and Kate.
Sami arrived, entered EJ's room, and picked up the picture of her and Johnny. When she called out EJ's name, he opened his eyes and asked why she was there. She should be home with Lucas, the man she loves. "What if he's not?" asked Sami.
Bo questioned a huffy Kate about EJ's shooting and wanted her to cough up her gun. "You don't have probable cause," she said of his threat to search her place. She kept insisting she threw the weapon into a dumpster, which Bo LOL-ed at. "You haven't cried since you found out there wasn't a tooth fairy," he cracked at her attempts to evoke sympathy. Roman joined the party as they insisted Kate give another statement. When a search of her digs turned up a gun, Roman wondered if she wanted to change her story.
Caroline teased a jumpy Shawn about his impending Thanksgiving wedding, laughing, "I'd give up Christmas and the Fourth of July to host this party."
Shawn then caught Steve sneaking around the pub. Steve trumped up excuses and ran off, calling someone and saying he didn't get "it." (How cryptic!) Later, Bo caught up with Shawn at the pub, chiding him for running off half-cocked when Claire got sick. "The department has to be your top priority," he warned. Shawn copped to it (hee!) but hoped this didn't blow his chances. Then, Shawn revealed Steve's squirrelly behavior and what Steve was looking for: a gun. Bo praised Shawn's very cop-like instincts. Steve returned to the pub looking for chowder for Kayla (only not really). Of course, Bo caught him.
Billie dropped by Lucas's place, hoping for good news. What she got instead?
News about Sami being with EJ. Big sis Billie noted Lucas is in "bad shape."
He told her he plans to sue for sole custody of his as yet unnamed daughter.
Billie was shocked the custody issue is on the table and told Lucas to inform Sami. At University Hospital, Sami told morose and angsty EJ, "You sound downright pathetic," and insisted she was there of her own accord, not because Stefano put her up to it. "I care about you," she told him, urging him to live for his son. Lucas boggled over Sami and EJ's connection, insisting it's why he needs a lawyer: "I don't trust her. Not anymore." Meanwhile, Sami cited her contentious relationship with Lucas and Will in the past as a precedent for her, EJ, and Johnny. Lucas and Billie kept going rounds on the Ejami issue as the couple in question did their own snarky back-and-forth about EJ's paralysis. No dummy, EJ knew Sami was just saying what he wanted to hear. He refused to "allow" her to chain herself to "half a man." Back at Lucas', a surly Will was hauled home for underage drinking. He revealed how unhappy he is over their whole family situation and he and Lucas realized it was best for him to move to Carrie and Austin's. Lucas called Will's new Swiss school, then assured him that he's a great kid who "needs a stable home." The two shared a heartfelt goodbye and a hug. Back at Memorial, weak and whiny EJ told Sami to leave. Instead, she climbed into bed with him. "If you're going to will yourself to die, I'm going to make you do it in my arms."

I have to admit, I didn't really read the title of this recipe before I delved in and I totally thought you were making pie the whole time.
This looks fantastic though and I was so pleasantly surprised when I got to the end. I need that gadget in my life. - October 10, 2010 at 6:05 PM

Debby, I have been pining for an apple peeler gadget for a few summers now, never knowing whether or not they work or are worth it. You've got me convinced now. Plus, I've never heard of Relish and so will have to check it out. I'm a super big fan of King Arthur too!

ha! you're so funny! This looks yummy. I lovepuffed pancakes with lemon and powdered sugar.
I was just looking into an apple slicer for a gift but I didn't think to look at BBB. Glad it works well!
Have a great time Debby, you deserve it! Can't wait to see your pictures. - October 13, 2010 at 9:01 PM

I love a good Dutch Baby! They're so easy and so satisfying. I think it's great to make them with apples too.
I have one of those apple peelers. They do make apples pies so much less of a chore!
Try a little nutmeg in your pancake the next time. I find it's really magic against the lemon and sugar. - October 15, 2010 at 8:09 AM

Chicken Farmers of Ontario is permitting small flock operators to market chickens.

chicken quota
I wish we could all get together on this on line, maybe someone out there will start a facebook page.It is time the consumer in Canada knew she only has the choice of one breed of chicken, she can choose from over 50 kinds of toothbrushes, maybe 40 types of breads. and the list goes on, BUT only ONE choice of chicken from coast to coast.
Define an industrialised chicken..that is easy there are only two industrial breeds here, a Ross and Cobb both engineered to grow to maturity in 39 days. Both kept in large barns with no natural daylight ( cannot have that, they would actually move around and run some weight off) in large numbers ( why not get more in if we can)Dimmed lights to make sure they just move from the water to the feed....fast weight gain is the issue here.
I am once again going to the board in Ontario to try and persuade them to let us grow an alternative heritage breed without quota, but under license, in a non confinement programme.Willing to pay an annual fee per bird and a levy , let the board visit all they like....guess I am still hopeful someone on the board will be honest about what they are doing there, as you say, feathering their own nests and keeping it 'all in the family'.
Love this quote from Scott Monty, head of Ford's social media.
In business, NOW is a good time to shake things up, So many businesses keep the "we've always done it that way" mentality when the world around them has changed.
Always listen to your customers. Right or wrong the passionate ones need to be embraced.
Get together Canadians and demand a choice of chicken at the grocery store, and the freedom for producers to grow alternative breeds without quota. Get your local supermarket on track with you..they have the clout with these big guys.Get them to pressure the boards to let people grow under license for a fee per year and NO QUOTA wow what wonderful chicken you may see in your stores then.

no you do not get rich on a few chickens but as an organic producer one know that you your family will not be subjected to the mis use of GMO grains and ANTIBIOTICS. There is more of a need for these producers and to stay small we cannot aford quota.

I have been raising a few
I have been raising a few chickens to sell at farmgate to help supplement my income from raising rabbits( a lean and low cholesterol meat by the way), I don't want to raise thousands of chickens or compete with the corporate farms, I certainly can't afford numbers like $15000 for quota for 300 chickens. All I want is to be able to raise some free-range chickens to sell to those people who want something more "homegrown" lets say. I am not a threat to the big farms and if you have raised chickens you will know it is not for the feint of heart, they can be smelly and messy and you certainly will never get rich raising a few to sell at farmgate (believe me). Anyway if Ontario is the largest producer of broilers in Canada why isn't the number we small farmers can raise more in sync with the other provinces? I will raise about 180 this year and due to our short summer here that will be all I have time for. Kathy Flagler

Wasted produce
Without the quota system there would be an abundance of supply with no room for profit. It isn't sustainable to produce our food at a loss. There are cases in Europe where meat is thrown away due due excessive production of a perishable product. I believe that the small flock producers should be able to have more than 300 birds , but its a pretty good start.
an online visitor replied on Permalink
without the quota system...
without the quota system there would be far more innovation in the poultry industry as a whole. They have been raising the industrial birds in the same old way for 40 years since quots came into force. It is nonsense to say there would be an overproduction of chicken and no room for profit, there would be a thinning out of the not so good farmers and an establishment of the farmers that are innovative with marketing and rearing there birds in a welfare friendly system. If quota was the reason that all food could be 'managed' how come lots of other livestock is sold for profits in other markets, and how come we do not need quota on everything. The cream will always rise to the top, and good producers will rise to the challenge. In business we all have competitors, it is how we treat our livestock and our customers and the fine products we provide that make our customers remain loyal and bring us profits.
there are many ways in which the chicken board could allow much more enterprise in chicken production without quota, and still be selling their millions of birds with no impact on their sale at all. Niche marketing is the key to be able to survive in todays markets.
an online visitor replied on Permalink
I agree with most of it, but....... not niche marketing
Niche marketing is over-rated because it's one of those things in which just one-too-many units of production can, and does, drive the price to zero. Niche marketing may be OK for retired people and/or the independently wealthy, but the volume side of the cost/volume/profit equation still rules, and beats niche marketing every time, especially for those things which are, in effect, commodity items in the first place.

diversified mixed farm works
full time mixed farming can be financely secure...each part of your farming operation aids the other......grow the feed and make your own rations/sell the animals and products from them/grow produce and sell the produce directly to customers ( retail or wholesale)/ use the manures ( compost) as fertilizer.......work hard ...get organized...and be REAL FARMERS

Your proposal is implicit upon ignoring transfer pricing
Inherent in your proposal is the belief that transfer pricing is irrelevant, and it's not. For example, why impoverish yourself and risk your farm by deliberately "selling" your corn to youself and see it "walk off" the farm for half of what you could have had by understanding, and following, the concepts of transfer pricing? Mixed farming can be, and often is, anything but secure because the "whole" can easily be less than the sum of the parts.

Full time farming
Full time stopped being an occupation hmmmm a long time ago! I have been waiting all my life to be able to farm (39 yrs) and thanks to all these large operators and the peeps that have immigrated to Southwestern Ontario I don't stand a chance. Where I live land is selling for 20000 plus an acre and quota is unreachable.At almost 40 who the heck has that kind of required down payment and what you get back out of it won't even come close to making the payments!

It's not the way it is now
I have only three farm clients who farm full time - two are senior citizens and one couple is in their late 50s, and living off the equity coming from the sale of their milk quota. That leaves about 97, or so, who are not, and who, thanks largely to supply management's ability to rape and pillage at will, never will be full-time farmers. Full-time farming is so 1970s - it's a dream which doesn't exist any more for anyone except those who were born with quota under their pillow.

we are not senior citizens.............and we are not living in the 70's ...we are producing what the modern day consumer wants.

there's a fallacy in play here
With respect, I suggest you may be falling into the trap sometimes described as "the fallacy of composition" which assumes that works for your farm, in your case direct sales, will work for every farm, and that's simply not valid. Direct sales works only for a very few farms (none of my farm clients who are in direct sales, and who work hard at it, are making any money) and without the right location, and if every farm was doing the same thing, you'd be right back at point zero, no matter how hard you worked.

You can full-time farm
Mr Kimble is right you can full-time farm but Mr Thompson is right in that what works for one farm will not work for other farms. It might also depend on what you define as full-time farmers. I know guys who raise beef cattle and cash crop but in the winter they cut wood out of the bush or move snow. I say they are still full-time farmers. There are also guys who truck cattle or fix up, use, then resell equipment I think they are full-time farmers as well. It is easier to be a full-time farmer milking cows when you have the milk cheque come in every month but they still that have in non-supply managed countries. You can full-time farm but it takes work, ingenuity and a lot of years. Dont expect to do it out of college either not without a lot of help

Are you kidding?
As a person who works in commercial sales I also own a farm on the side. If I had 2000 chickens roaming my fields I would have no problem selling the eggs and making a good buck at it. Profit is there to be made if you have a good product that is not generic.

not enough produce
Let's not forget that the quota system also stifles supply too much. Can we say Chobani yogurt? If I am not mistaken, CAMI poultry was also denied a supply of chicken. Without these competing processors there is too much room for profit for the other processors under the sm system. What a shame. Raube Beuerman, Dublin, ON

Full Disclosure on Chickens at the Farm Gate
Small Flock Poultry Farmers of Canada believe in full disclosure for those who buy chicken at the farm gate. That means everything, from the parents who produced the egg, the chicks, the feed, the housing, the water source, what the farmer means by "free range", drugs and treatments done to the birds throughout their lives. Try getting that kind of info from the quota-based chicken factories. For more info on this, see a real Disclosure Form filled in for a typical small flock farm at https://www.dropbox.com/s/cwmujds40pb71b8/FarmGateFoodSafetyPlan_A03_BBa...

Consumers want to buy local, ecologically raised, breed diverse
Hello, I am a consumer.
I just want to say that there is a growing number of consumers that are looking to buy local, ecologically produced poultry from diverse breeds.
It's better for our health, it's better for the environment and it tastes better.
Could someone explain the system to me in detail of why this isn't possible?
an online visitor replied on Permalink
buy local
So, if I interpret this right, even if I only raise birds for my own use, I must register them, even if I hatch them myself, I must register them. This gives inspectors the right to come onto my property. Customers are not allowed near the birds. Free range is pretty much impossible. I must get rid of all my other livestock and pets. By registering I am supporting an industry I don't agree with through fees imposed at their discretion and the government is also looking for more if they find me in violation. This is what society gets for demanding the government supply cheap food. This is supported by a government that maintains they are accountable. Our question should be "just who are they accountable to?" I wonder what they will do now that urban areas are allowed to have backyard chickens. If this is all about avian flu, I need to know what they will do about all the wild turkeys, grouse, geese and ducks in my area, not to mention all birds. It's AVIAN flu, not chicken flu, and it became a problem due to the conditions of the commercial industry. It's interesting to note when I allow my birds to roam, my feed bill drops considerably, which suggests to me that they are not getting everything they need or want from commercial feed. I am not interested in supplying the public with meat, but only for my own consumption, so I see this as a direct assault on privacy. Just sign me---Outraged

Quote Systems suppress growth of local food systems
This quota systems are absurb archaic protectionist systems put in place to protect existing producers, and severly hinder the growth of local food systems and economies.
an online visitor replied on Permalink
I agree completely. Quota is stifling innovation and sustainability in the poultry production.They are stifling local and smaller farmers who understand the birds and use production systems that benefit the bird and the land and environment
I wish we could gather more like minded people and show the quota boards the power of the people in this matter. I have tried for 2 years to get the Ontario board to allow organic and free range broilers to be grown under a special license as it is in BC and Nova Scotia. We are willing to pay a license fee, a quota per bird, to be able to produce, sell and market where we please.
I run up against the 'brick wall' everytime. Why is this sector of the livestock industry protected and not others ??? because the 'big boys' of the industry have it all to themselves and refuse to let anyone else on their 'patch' in case they actually produce a better product and have a wide market. When will the consumer wake up to the fact that these prices are fixed and they have absolutely 'no choice ' of bird.
The cost to set up a small operation by buying quota runs into the millions of dollars, who can afford that? or who wants to put themselves into such debt. or even have the ability to borrow such sums?
Itis perfectly simple, they still can have the say of maximum production ( given sensible limits not the paltry 300 per yaer, who can make a living from that?)and inspect the production. I am willing to work with them, include them in the whole process.
Have you ever seen a real free range broiler, a coloured bird, grown under real free range regulations? in any store in Canada? Once eaten never ever would you want to eat another commercial bird again. Maybe that is why the quota boards are so adamant about keeping us out.

Quota System
Would everyone on this site prefer and American style system where the food industry is completely subsidized by the government and the producers are controlled by the feed companies like Cargill? You can't have it both ways. Nobody cares if a few hippies grow some chickens in their backyard but the Canadian quota systems protects the family farm and ensures their livelihood.

learn from the past
Mr. Thompson: If you took the time to do a little research into the past you will find that in late 18th century and well into the 19th century, one of the biggest complaints in Ontario agriculture was land ownership.
Owning land gave a person special rights in society..... most of your ancestors were aware of that hence heeded the call to settle in this country. Many wanted to enjoy the perks of "aristocracy" but could not in their own country as it was cost prohibitive.
Tenant farming and related rental problems was a topic of discussion in parliament for years.
Absentee land owners created burdens on society. As an example: one of the government's main concern was road maintenance, or more specifically, the lack of as land owners were required to perform a minimum 6 statute days of road work a year. The government did not care about the actual farmer through those years of "privileged" land ownership as much as they were concerned about being saddled with expenses that was legislatively being extracted from farmers.
What goes around comes around. Non-farmers owning agricultural lands are creating much of the same problems 200 years ago.
Our government is encouraging a class of "privileged" land owners through legislation such as the GreenBelt, Species at Risk, Water Protection Act, Energy Act, etc.
I would hazard to guess that non-farmer owned land outpaces farmer-owned land 4 to 1.
I would suggest you take a page from your ancestors if you really think you are so oppressed........ land is cheap in Brazil right now.

I personally think there is a very big difference on how people perceive "chickens"
What is scientifically sound for commercial broiler production does not work for all breeds of chickens (there are literally hundreds of breeds). A large portion of the folks who are pursuing chicken farming on a small scale are contemplating doing so with breeds which are outside the current production system.
Most breeds can't be covered by the processing form since they only exist in small "backyard" flocks as they have done for their entire existence. It probably is best to leave commercial broiler production (anyone using standard commercial breed) to those individuals with quota who can supply the animals which what science has deemed necessary. After all those birds were created for the modern poultry environment.
With the movement to preserve heritage livestock poultry breeds suffer most in Ontario as the necessary numbers needed to preserve a given breed would necessitate some small scale sales of meat or eggs to keep interest in the breeds. None of the "heritage" breeds most small scale producers uses would ever be capable of competing with the efficiency of modern chicken's in a modern production system. Personally I truly think there needs to be a better definition put forward for a legal definition of what a "commercial" chicken is rather than lumping all breeds together (we don't do that for any other type of livestock so why we do this under the chicken marketing boards is beyond me).
