Canned meat wars: Hormel sues Prem for using Spam-like can
Hormel Foods is suing a company based in the Netherlands that makes meat with a package design similar to Spam.By: Associated Press,
AUSTIN, Minn. — Hormel Foods is suing a company based in the Netherlands that makes meat with a package design similar to Spam.
The Austin food maker has filed a federal lawsuit against Zwaneberg (ZWAHN'-en-berg) Food Group, accusing it of producing a canned meat with a yellow-on-blue design that's "confusingly similar" to the iconic Spam can.
Zwaneberg makes its "Prem" lunch meat in Cincinnati, Ohio. Hormel and Zwaneberg have a manufacturing agreement that allows Zwaneberg to make lunch meat on behalf of Hormel, but it's agreed not to sell that meat to companies that use packaging that could be confused with Hormel's.
The Austin company says it then discovered Zwaneberg was selling Prem with a yellow-on-blue design.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press says Hormel has made 7 billion cans of Spam since 1937.

Like most people, I used my pedometer passively to note how many steps I took each day. Now I use it as a prod for better performance and to help control my diabetes.
We can use pedometers to motivate us to get enough of the moderate-intensity physical activity we need. The government's official 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, which I covered here last year, calls for us to get a minimum of 150 minutes of this moderate-intensity exercise each week. That can work out to 30 minutes on five days of the week. We can also get it in shorter bouts, typically of 10 minutes each time.
But many of us can't figure out what "moderate-intensity" means. Until I read a brand new research report, I certainly didn't.
This new study, led by exercise and nutritional sciences professor Simon J. Marshall at San Diego State University, determined that a rate of at least 100 steps per minute will usually let us achieve moderate-intensity activity. The study, "Translating Physical Activity Recommendations into a Pedometer-Based Step Goal," will appear in the May 2009 issue of the American Journal of Preventative Medicine. Not even the abstract is online yet, but the journal provided me with the full-text of the article.
Dr. Marshall and seven associates based their findings on a community sample of 97 adults. The participants in the study were typically quite overweight with a mean BMI of 29.
The participants used pedometers to count their steps. But few pedometers can measure the intensity of our activity. The solution, however, was simple -- timing the exercise.
For both men and women about 100 steps per minute provides minimally moderate-intensity activity as defined by three METs. As I wrote here in July, MET, which is short for metabolic equivalent, is a technical concept that we need to understand.
This works out to walking at 100 steps per minutes on level terrain. Or 3,000 steps in 30 minutes each of five days of the week.
The old standard, dating from 1993, is 10,000 steps per day. It's one that I have tried on the average to meet. But it is "based on limited evidence, may be unrealistic for many people, and does not incorporate activity intensity," the report says.
Still, counting steps with a pedometer does help. A recent meta-analysis shows that when we use one just to count our steps, we increase our level of physical activity by 27 percent. We also significantly decrease our BMI and blood pressure.
While I have had -- and lost -- many pedometers, I really like my tiny Omron HJ-303 that I got at the local REI. It's small enough to keep in a pocket of my trousers all the time. It's also accurate whether horizontal, vertical, or flat.
It is one of the few pedometers that calculates how many steps we take at a level of three METs, and it tells time. But much more convenient to check the time is using it with my iPod Touch. It (as well as an iPhone) has stopwatch that I set yesterday to interrupt the song I was playing when my 30 minutes was up.

I can't wait to see Tim Burton's retelling of his 1984 short Frankenweenie. It's the only reason I'll accept Dark Shadows into the world, and the early buzz from those who have seen it is very encouraging.
So, with an Opening Gala for the London Film Festival in our future there's no better time to unleash a new promo short introducing the boy and his dog. Victor and Sparky take centre stage here and though some of this has been seen before I love the aesthetic, I love the tone, in fact though it's only a brief glimpse of the film it's enough to warrant a few excited utterances don't you think?
Here it is,

You and the community are invited to attend a Celebration of Life for Traci Lamar Scates. The event will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, 2009 at Bethel United Methodist Church, 100 Lumpkin Campground Road, South, Dawsonville, GA.
Although we are facing the toughest economic times in recent memory, the 2009 Session of the General Assembly proved to be a successful one for Georgians.
Thousands of discontented Georgians lined the streets around our state Capitol this week to protest excessive Washington spending and an increasingly burdensome tax code.
The recent discussion about Atlanta Motorsports Park has been littered with misinformation by people that live far away from the proposed site and do not have a dog in this hunt -but oppose anything and everything.
The 2009 Legislative Session ended at midnight last Friday with the governor thanking us for a productive session.
Many thanks to all of you who are proponents of the Atlanta Motorsports Park. With your support and the vision of the developer our community will thrive with new opportunities and growth.
Now that the gavel has fallen on the 2009 legislative session, Georgians will soon begin to see the product of the past 40 legislative days.
As a first step towards permanently eliminating "back door" ad valorem property tax increases statewide, the House and Senate passed House Bill 233 and sent it to the Governor for his signature.
The General Assembly took heed this week to provide Georgia residents with solutions that will stimulate the state's economy. Two important sectors of the economy are targeted under measures on their way to final passage: Housing and jobs.
Special Olympics recently announced a new campaign, "Spread the Word to End the Word - 3.31.09," encouraging people to stop using the derogatory word "retard" in casual conversation.
The Georgia Constitution requires that the House of Representatives appropriate money for an annual budget to operate the functions of the State. That is the main reason we have an annual legislative session. This year the economy has declined so quickly, that projection of future revenues is like hunting rabbits in a briar patch. The target keeps moving, while the thorns keep grabbing you. When it's over, you ...
As the crisis in common sense continues in Washington and across the nation, here in Georgia I'm working with my Senate colleagues for real stimulus solutions to put the economy back on track.
There is a Jewish proverb that says: "Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength."
Last Thursday marked the 30th legislative day of the 2009 Session. Known as "Crossover Day," it marked the deadline for legislation to pass from one house to the other.
The legislature cleared the annual Crossover Day hurdle this week with both the Senate and House working feverishly to pass bills out of their respective chambers before the midnight deadline on Thursday.
The mood in the galley of the research ship was gloomy. Our grand experiment had failed and we were pounding our way through the rough seas of the Gulf of Mexico bound for New Orleans.
Former South African president Nelson Mandela has received much-deserved praise following his death on Dec. 5 at the age of 95, and rightly so. South Africa could have sunk into chaos and a bloody civil war with Mandela's rise to power following 27 years of imprisonment and the end of apartheid. Instead, he preached reconciliation and forgiveness, not vengeance. For that, the world can be grateful.
It is hard to believe that 2013 is about to come to a close. It has been a productive and busy year for my family. I was blessed to be able to serve in my first session as your representative. It is a true honor to represent you at the Georgia State Capitol. With the year coming to an end, we are gearing up for the 2014 legislative session that will start on Jan. 13.
When "Dawson County, Georgia Heritage 1857-1996" was published, Dawson County Historical Society members didn't visualize that 27 years later there would be a third printing. For several years, there have been no copies available for sale, but this year they had a limited number of books reprinted and are now offering them as a Christmas special for the price of the original book, $65.
Recently Rep. Kevin Tanner wrote about how great it is to live in Georgia.
Last week, family and friends gathered in the small town of Chattahoochee Hills, south of Atlanta, to celebrate a life well-lived. Our late grandson, Zack Wansley, was honored at the dedication of "Zack's Glade," a pristine and picturesque piece of Cochran Mill Park near where he died while training for the Atlanta Marathon in 2008.
Thank you to Amicalola EMC Foundation and to each and every person who takes part in Operation Round-up on behalf of Caring Hands Ministries and each person and family the Operation Round-up grant to Caring Hands will help us help.
That statement is more a "both/and" than an "either/or."
Over the past few years most everyone in our community has been affected in some way by the downturn in the economy.
Dear Dr. Morehead:
Ring! Ring! Ring!
The crisp fresh air and the falling of leaves most certainly signal that the fall season is upon us. This time of year always invokes special thoughts and recollections. Some of my fondest memories involve the cool autumn months, intricately carved jack-o-lanterns, and obviously participating in one of the year's more enjoyable festivities - trick or treating.
I called Junior E. Lee, general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company located in Greater Garfield, to see what kind of reactions he was getting from the public to the recent shutdown of the federal government.

By the time Agamben was a teenager, the scorching traces o f the Second
World War, during which he was only an infant, were virtually imperceptible
in the unabashed bustle of Rome. His formative years coincide with the short
lived cultural and economic renaissance that the city experienced between the collapse of the Fascist regime in the mid-i940S and the spread of its corrupt
politics in the mid-1970s. Because his father operated a movie theater, Agam
ben saw many films as a child, sometimes even two in a single day. But there
were also many books in the Agambens' household, some of them works of philosophy, and they constituted the first items in what would become the
mammoth reading list that shaped his mature thought. Sitting in his small
apartment in Venice, which can be reached after climbing a rather steep set
of stairs, he said that before his mother passed away, she gave him a piece of
paper that she had saved since the time he was seven years old. "It was all
there!" he said with astonishment. On this page, Agamben claimed, was a
condensed version of his entire mature philosophy. As for its content, he re
mained mute.
After familiarizing himself with the required classical languages and lit
erature taught at school, he managed to complete a first degree with a concen
tration in law before losing faith in formal education, which he still deems,
at least in his case, worthless. It was instead the intelligentsia's demimonde
outside the dogmatic bounds of academia that formed his subsequent career.
Living in Rome, Paris, and London, he moved in various circles, befriending
writers such as Elsa Morante and Italo Calvino, poets such as Ingeborg Bach-
mann and Jose Bergamin, philosophers such as Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc
Nancy, and radical intellectuals-turned-filmmakers such as Pier Paolo Paso
lini and Guy Debord. But more important, it was his immersion in the writ
ings of a swelling number of (mostly dead) authors, together with his ability
to spin them within his own studies into an intricate web of references, that
gave his work its distinct charm. It is quite surprising to realize that the eerie
breadth of his erudition comes from the mind of an almost complete auto-
didact. This fact became clearer during a midday walk through the streets of
Venice. "Look at these buildings," he said while stopping in a typical piazza;
"none of them were built by professional architects." One of the easier argu
ments to make is that modern structures, those Corbusian "machines for liv
ing" produced by university-trained architects, are palpable eyesores when
placed next to the (essentially objective) beauty of Venice. But isn't it also possible, in light of Agamben's work, to make a similar argument concerning
many of the texts produced by "professional" philosophers these days?
When Agamben came upon Arendt's writings in the late 1960s, he was
so thrilled to discover their sense of promise and urgency that he sent her
a personal note expressing his gratitude. But as the events of the 1960s sub
sided, as Arendt's work was somewhat forgotten and generally dismissed
by the professional naysayers, the air of possibility was replaced by that of
a missed opportunity. The fact that some years after her death she was ad
mitted into the philosophical pantheon through an endless parade of con
ferences and monographs does not change much, as the opportunity to act
upon the thought was missed for the sake of opportunism. In other words,
something that could have happened did not take place.w At the turn of the
new millennium, it was suddenly Agamben's name that was whispered in
knowing circles around the globe with a sense of exigency. But the lessons of
the past make it clear that the potency of this new way of thinking will have
to face enormous, perhaps insurmountable, obstacles (starting with those
mounted by a new generation of professional naysayers) before it can some
how imprint itself on our way of living. In this spirit, Agamben laments in an
essay from the mid-1970s that our age "is not the epoch of faith and not even
the epoch of incredulity," but rather "it is more than anything else the epoch
of bad faith" in which "the first duty of each intellectual must consist in the
nonparticipation in this lie."11
It is easy to assume and pretentious to assert that, unlike any other human
activity, philosophy exists in some sort of eternal vacuum. Ignoring the aca
demic context in which theoretical work is done today is like disregarding
unsustainable practices that upset our faltering ecological system. The notion
that the campus is a hotbed for revolt is a common myth that does not take
into account the usual passivity and dispassion that prevails in classrooms
and during faculty office hours around the world. Remember that even in the
1960s, when student unrest shook the foundations of entire cities and states,
one of the protestors' main targets was the academic apparatus itself. The rea
son is that the college was never meant to perpetuate the revolutionary desires of the young generation but rather to block them, or to channel those desires
into so-called productive (read "futile") avenues. Even if deviation is allowed,
it is circumscribed to specific times and places, or exceptions, that never in
terfere with the overall rule of the status quo. The teaching and writing of the
professor are not really meant to agitate anyone, as radical creativity is trans
formed into timid and monotonous production. To some extent, the cherished
academic freedom, much like the coveted tenure position, is nothing but the
sleeping pill of comfortable living. Today, it becomes increasingly obvious
that forms of resistance rarely converge with forms of academic discourse,
which is not infrequently fueled by bad faith. When one realizes that the main
agenda behind the demonstrations of the current student body is to protect
its own privileges and those of its professors, one knows that something has
gone terribly amiss. But even though it is not easy to see how the hegemony
of the university-factory could be effectively contested, Agamben's lifework
still offers a viable model for a kind of nonparticipatory participation in the
operation of this sprawling, monopolistic institution.

Straight up, Josh Kalis is one of my favorite skaters. He epitomizes east coast style. While most guys here on the west focus more on the technical aspect of skateboarding, the east coast guys just look dope when they skate. Donnie Barley, Stevie Williams, Reese Forbes, and Ricky Oyola – all these guys are so fun to watch skate (and listen to them TALK).
Now Josh Kalis has one of the chunkiest tre flips you can imagine. It's all pop and all style as he tore up Love Park in Philly.
The Kalis series finally begins. Right off the bat, Josh clears up a few issues for everybody and we get right into things with how it all got started in Grand Rapids. Sean Sheffey appears and lets us know that Josh has always been a well respected skater, and Mike Blabac recalls when Josh helped him learn how to use his camera. Ted Lee provided the archival footage of a young Kalis, and if there had been more time we would have loved to show more of Ted's incredible old footage that includes a New Deal demo with Ed Templeton and Mike Vallely. Enjoy.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ICAP Patent Brokerage announces for sale an extensive cryptography patent portfolio including various enhancements for secure electronic commercial transactions from CQRCert LLC.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100614/CG20517LOGO)
When two parties exchange personal information and money for goods and services online, each party requires both assurance that their sensitive data remains secure and validation of the other's identity. The patents in this portfolio address these requirements in systems that are reliable, scalable, and robust. With the earliest priority date going back to 1994, the portfolio for sale offers improvements for public-key infrastructure, digital signatures, and electronic payments to better protect consumers and their data from theft and fraud.
"We are excited to offer this versatile patent portfolio of eCommerce consumer protection tools to our global base of buyers. These assets are highly relevant to companies involved in eCommerce, firmware upgrading for devices, data security, fraud protection as well as financial institutions," says Dean Becker, CEO of ICAP Patent Brokerage.
Key Characteristics & Benefits
The IP package comprises 28 issued US patents, their corresponding foreign counterparts, as well as several pending applications, which broadly cover cryptography in eCommerce transactions and/or devices performing such transactions, including:
- Key Escrow: Methods and systems for cryptosystems that verifiably split users' private signature keys into components for transmission to an authorized third party. These keys are embedded with tamper-resistant secure modules to safeguard data against unrestricted access, while enabling normal encryption and decryption if the certificates of both the sender and recipient are validated. Importantly, preferred embodiments provide for rekeying or upgrading the device firmware using a certificate system, and encryption of stream-oriented data.
- Payment Transactions: A method of payment in an electronic payment system wherein a plurality of customers has accounts with an agent and shares a dynamic secret with a respective agent before obtaining an authenticated quote from a specific merchant. The agent facilitates a secure transaction between customer and merchant using the status information and identification of both parties as well as the verifiable digital signature of the agent.
- Split Key Cryptography: Methods and systems for improved security of digital signature systems requiring multiple steps and parties to create a single, composite signature that may be authenticated using a public verification key not easily susceptible to tampering or compromise.
- Digital Rights Management: A method of unpacking digital data, such as software, a cryptographic key, or data representing images, text or video, and digitally signing for such packed data in an electronic transaction. The product is wrapped using a key generated from an acceptance phrase and the end user assents to the various conditions of use of that particular product.
The portfolio also includes assets relating to improvements for reliance and organizational management, authorization, and shared randomness. For details on all technology sectors impacted by this versatile group of assets, please see the technical description of this IP sales offering.
Companies who have cited this portfolio include: First Data Corp, Intel, IBM, HP, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Digimarc, Oracle, American Express, Western Union, Google, RIM, Verisign, AT&T, Cisco, and Visa.

Salamu Alaykum, I was wondering if it is haram to promise Allah that you'll do something, for example by saying "Oh Allah please help me pass this exam, if I do I'll fast for 3 days, read Surat-al Baqarah, etc". It seems like a kind of bargain so is it wrong? Sort of like "do this for me, and I'll do this in return". What do you think? |
Not unless you break your promise.. then well... I wouldn't want to be you. Don't make a promise unless your 110% sure you can & will do it. |

Help Me Howard: Bill Collector
Reported by:
Danny Cohen
Archived Reports:
Getting sent to a debt collector is always cause for concern, but for one couple, it's turned into a cause for action because they say they don't owe the company a dime. Their next move, Help me Howard with Patrick Fraser.
WSVN -- Evangeline Ott: "That's where he likes to be massaged, right there."
Marty and Evangeline have a wonderful marriage. So good she agreed to go along with a joke prescription her husband got from his doctor.
Evangeline Ott: "He says, the one for three massages a week from my wife, and the doctor says, 'Oh, OK. Well, I'll rewrite it for you.'"
The Otts are happily retired, enjoying life, even able to take their motor home and travel for weeks at a time.
Evangeline Ott: "We saved well and invested."
Before their latest trip, the couple got everything organized, even making sure to stop delivery of the Sunday Sun Sentinel.
Evangeline Ott: "I canceled the paper in May when the renewal slip came out. I canceled it."
Then, just days later, a special delivery-- this time in their mailbox.
Evangeline Ott: "I got a notice from a debt collector for the paper."
That stunned Evangeline, who is very proud of their payment history.
Evangeline Ott: "We pay our bills on time or before."
So to get a call from a collection agency was shocking, and when she found out the amount the Sun Sentinel said she owed, stunning.
Evangeline Ott: "$12.76 is what it is."
Evangeline immediately called the collection agency. If you have never had the misfortune to talk to them, trust me, they won't leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.
Evangeline Ott: "And I told them I don't owe them. I had proof that I paid it. They didn't ask for the proof, they said, 'Just pay it,' and I said, 'I don't owe it.' Last thing he said to me was, 'You know you owe it, just pay it.' Then he hung up."
Evangeline spoke next to the Sun Sentinel.
Evangeline Ott: "I said, why would you send me to a debtor, debt collector for $13. I said, you didn't call me and try to resolve this, you sent it to a debt collector. I said, we don't owe anybody."
Evangeline could make the debt collector go away and make the Sun Sentinel happy by just sending them $12.76, but she refuses.
Evangeline Ott: "I don't owe it. I paid it, and I have proof."
But how can you get companies to listen to you when you have already paid the bills, Howard?
Howard Finkelstein: "Evangeline did everything the right way, contacted the collection agency, the paper. The next step, send a certified letter to both because they can't say they didn't get the letter. They can deny they got a phone call."
A spokesperson for the Sun Sentinel told us, "Our system shows there were somehow two different accounts for the Otts." One, in Evangeline's name and an account past due in Marty's name. The Otts say that's strange because Marty didn't subscribe, and the couple never got two papers at the same time. The Sun Sentinel told us that customers should receive calls before it's sent to collections. The paper told us, we are wiping out Marty's account balance and stopping the collection process.
Howard says, even if you owe a debt, you can stop a collection agency from harassing you.
Howard Finkelstein: "Also, just send a letter telling them to stop calling you. By law they can call you one more time to let you know what action they are going to take next. After that they can't call you, but you still owe the money."
The Otts got the bill collector and the paper off their backs and can continue to hop on their bike to enjoy the next ride in retirement.
Patrick Fraser: "We get a lot of complaints about bill collectors. Like Howard said, you don't have to put up with the harassment, and besides writing them a letter, you can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.
Collecting enough problems to paper your wall? Need someone to be your Sentinel? Contact us. We won't bill you, you won't be indebted. We're free.
Federal Trade Commission

Manny Machado - In his second career game, Manny Machado batted eighth and clubbed 2 HRs with 4 RBI. He's now 4-for-8 in his first two games at the major league level. With a .266/.352/.438 slash line at AA this season, and considering he just turned 20 in early July, it's hard to expect a lot from Machado as a fantasy option (Friday's showing aside). He showed good patience and had solid power in the minors to go along with an ability to swipe a bag every once in awhile. But adjusting from AA to the majors is an astronomical jump (just ask Mike Trout), so I don't see much value in Machado for the next couple months, aside from potentially a bench bat in very deep AL-only and mixed leagues. He looked the part of a major leaguer last evening, but I'm not confident he'll be able to be productive on a consistent basis this year.
Max Scherzer - Detroit's Max Scherzer took on the Rangers on Friday and gave up 2 ER while striking out 8 in 6 innings. Scherzer's 11.31 whiff rate is truly elite, but his 4.65 ERA is certainly not. That said, Scherzer's been pretty darn unfortunate. He's dealing with a .358 BABIP and 72% strand rate while also owning a 3.33 xFIP. The right hander isn't helping himself by allowing 1.41 HRs per game or a 22% LD rate, but he still shouldn't have an ERA that's 1.3 runs above his xFIP. This is the third straight season Scherzer has posted an xFIP in the 3.50-3.75 range and I believe he'll eventually see the fruits of that performance translate into a good ERA. For now, he's still a must start thanks to the incredible strikeout rate and he should experience positive regression sooner than later.
Eric Hosmer - One of the numbers I've been watching in regards to Eric Hosmer this season is the number of balls he hits on the ground. Last season, Hosmer hit 19 HRs but hit 50% of all balls in play on the ground. This obviously meant he had zero chance of driving the ball on half of his balls in play. He still managed a .172 ISO in 2011, so I expected him to continue to mature at the plate and begin to elevate the ball. Unfortunately, he's now hitting grounders 55% of the time and his ISO sits at just .127 after going 0-for-3 versus the Orioles on Friday. There's so much potential in Hosmer's bat, but until he learns to hit more balls in the air, his power will drag behind his expectations.
John Jaso - At 28-years old, John Jaso is starting to show some solid power numbers with Seattle. On Friday, he crushed a 3-run HR and now owns a more than respectable .187 ISO. Like always, Jaso continues to show good patience at the dish, walking in 15% of his ABs while striking out in just 16%. He's also posting a career-high SLG% of .472 and has smashed 6 HRs in just 228 plate appearances. Add in a batting average of .283 and Jaso has all the makings of a playable catcher in many league formats. Looking ahead to next year, Jaso should be the primary catcher for the Mariners (with Jesus Montero shifting to full-time DH) and if he can continue his current power production, he should be a very nice option behind the dish in 2013.
Alex Rios - After missing Wednesday's series finale against Kansas City, Alex Rios was back in the White Sox lineup on Friday and went 0-for-4 versus the Athletics. Rios has had a resurgence this season by posting a .224 ISO to go along with a .315 BA and .538 SLG%. He's posting a career-high LD% and HR/FB rate and has stolen 16 bases. Last season, Rios was extremely unlucky on balls in play, recording just a .237 BABIP. This season, in part thanks to more line drives, the outfielder has a .325 BABIP. That may not be entirely sustainable, but his career mark is .308, so he's not that far over his head. There's no reason to believe that Rios will slow down during the next couple months.

From the moment we pulled in at sunset, we were in love! The cabin's deck and it's attached dock make make for a perfect view of the rising and setting sun! The cabin is in a quiet little setting just moments away from the main highway and close to anything you might want to do in Gulf Shores! We stayed with 4 adults and a 4 year old and couldn't have asked for a better place to be! We utilized the kitchen for multiple meals, as well as the gas grill below the cabin. Each morning, we would sit out on the deck to watch the sunrise and enjoy all nature had to offer! We saw dozens of turtles, fish, crabs, and my mom swears she saw a dolphin, too! The on-site pool is also great! Much better than being covered in sand! My only wish would be that the cabin would be big enough to bring more family down with us! :) We also recommend local eateries such as Tin Top Restaurant in Bon Secour, Chick and Sea Foods in Foley, and Doghouse Grille in Gulf Shores! We also recommend going on the Surf's Up Dolphin Cruise... talk about amazing! Don't get conned into staying in a condo on the beach that's 3x the price!! THIS is the way to truly experience Alabama! Thank you SO much to the owner for allowing us this amazing place to stay!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

What a great retreat! I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay near the beach. It's well appointed and ideally located on the Bon Secour River, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the tourist and beach areas, surrounded by natural beauty and peace and quiet. Very tranquil, yet only minutes away from a Target, Publix, movie theater, restaurants, etc., and only around 10 minutes from the beach. It's so relaxing a place to return to after spending a day at the beach amongst the crowds and traffic. Also, much more affordable than being right on the beach. It's really the best of all worlds. Can't wait to return! Thanks, Mike!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.

Have just returned from the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. The cabin is nice and clean with great views of the river. We had so much fun sitting on the deck overlooking the river watching the fish, turtles, dolphins and all different kinds of birds. There are plenty of restaurants and great shopping (grocery, outlet stores and boutiques plus Walmart and Target) nearby and the beach is about 6 miles away. Mike, the owner, was such a gracious host. He is warm, friendly and very accomodating. We will be returning and will give it a hearty recommendation to family and friends. Thanks, Mike for such a great vacation place.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Hey Cheryle, you are making me blush. I'm so glad you had a great time come back as often as you can. So here is my frustration, almost every guest has told us about the dophins coming up to the dock yet we have never been there when that has happened. We have kayaked with them in the river but so far have not had the experience of seeing them from the balcony or the dock so I am so jealous of you. Thank you so much for staying with us!

The cabin was just what we were looking for. The cabin was comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and just watching the river. You could see dolphins and turtles everyday depending on the time of day. Would stay there again and would recommend to friends and family. The owner Mike is very friendly and helpful.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

We enjoyed three wonderful days at your cabin on the river. It was beautiful, tranquil and peaceful. We had just spent a busy, happy week on the beach for our daughter's wedding and the cabin provided much needed "down time" for my husband and me. We enjoyed the kayaking on the river and viewing all the wild life. The location is perfect, quiet, yet close to everything. We had dinner at the Tin Top twice! The cabin was cute as can be and very clean. We love the area so much we are thinking of buying property there. Thanks for sharing your home with us!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, adventure seekers.

We stayed the entire month of July at this great property. It is ideally located on the Bon Secour River, convenient to the numerous attractions (beach, amusements, shopping, etc.) offered in the area, yet feeling a world removed from the crowds when you just want to relax and get away from it all. We sat on the deck to enjoy our morning coffee and watched the dolphins, herons, turtles, and ducks. Fish are abundant right off the dock, and for a close-up view of the river it is easy to hop in one of the kayaks. The waters in the area are so great we couldn't resist buying a boat which we docked right behind the cabin. The boating is fantastic and it's just a quick trip into one of the several bays and the intercoastal. There are some fun boat-in restaurants nearby (Lulu's, Tacky Jacks, Shucker's). You can also boat to The Wharf, which has shopping, restaurants, bars, movie theaters, Laser Tag, a ferris wheel, and live music, offering shows by well known artists. The property is well maintained and very clean. A nice Publix is about 10 minutes away, and there are several places within a couple of miles to buy shrimp and fish fresh from the boat. Because of the availability of great seafood, we cooked at the cabin quite often. However, there are also many restaurants nearby. We particularly enjoyed Jesse's in Magnolia Springs and the Tin Top, which is a short drive from the property. Lambert's is also fun, particularly for children. We cannot say enough good things about Mike, the owner of this property, He is kind, helpful, and responsive and did everything he could to make our stay enjoyable. We heartily recommend this property, and hope you'll book a stay and enjoy it as much as we did.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

We stayed here the first week of june 2011. Brought the fishng boat with us. Had a very relaxing time. My husband went fishing every morning and then we'd cruise down the river and into the intercoastal waterway to go to eat dinner and play. The view from the porch was so calming. you could sit there and read and watch the mullett jump and watch 2 dophins cruise by everyday, sometimes twice a day. The place was very neat and clean and very comfortable. We would recommend a stay here. The owner seemed very nice in his emails and the neighbors were very nice. Pool is just a couple of doors down and was very nice.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.

Everything was great!! It was a last minute getaway for us before our kids went back to school. The cabin was located right in the middle of everything....shopping, dining out, and buying groceries weren't too far away. The pool was also very nice, we had it to ourselves the entire time! We would definitely consider staying here again!Recommended for: Families with young children.

The pictures of this cabin do not do it justice. We stayed here Memorial Day weekend and booked at the last minute and Mike was AWESOME! He worked with us getting in late and leaving early like he had known us forever! The cabin is in a quite little area, we had no distractions or interruptions. The guys LOVED playing in the kayaks and we loved sitting on the deck just watching them in the river. We saw daulphins Sunday morning make there way up the river feeding as well. The beds were sooo comfortable and there was plenty of room for all 6 of us (2 of them being kids). The air worked perfect and kept us cool the whole time and the convience of the washer and dryer in the cabin was awesome! There is only one roll of toliet paper provided so I do recommend bringing some with you so you dont have to run to Target at the last min. like we did! It is a great place to enjoy the beach (only a short drive away) and not have to deal with all the people that like staying on the beach. The outlet mall is just up the road too! We ate at The Original Oyster House Sat. night and it was THE BEST! The little seafood market on the corner where you turn to get to the cabin was very resonable as well! We will def. be staying here again in the future! Thanks so much!!!!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: My partners and I love to fish. We love boating and just being on the water.
Why the Owner Chose Bon Secour:
This is one very pretty little river. We travel down to the gulf coast constantly. Most of our locations tend to be on the beach or bay so when we happended upon this great place on this terrific river we had to get it. It would be our fishing cabin and we would treat our guest as fellow fishing buds.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
The beach is nice but the Bon Secour River is really what rest and relaxation is all about. Just having the boat steps away is worth it all. Within minutes you can be catching fish or just cruising the river. Even kayaking up river into the fresh water to catch a bass or get a look at a gator. And world class dining is only a couple of miles away over at Tin Top. And of course all that beach stuff is just down the road.

Alberta Ferretti was a jet setter this week — heading straight from the Costume Institute Gala in New York on Monday to Los Angeles, where she was honored Wednesday at the annual C.H.I.P.S. spring luncheon at the Montage Beverly Hills.
"I wouldn't miss this, because it's a great honor," said the designer. "It's wonderful to see both actresses and real women in my clothes."
In addition to volunteers for C.H.I.P.S. (Colleagues Helpers in Philanthropic Service), Marisa Tomei, Angie Harmon, Lynn Collins, Jessica Stroup, Kathryn Morris and Julie Benz attended the luncheon and fashion show.
"I used to model for Alberta when I was 18, and now I'm showing her pictures of my daughter," said Harmon.

History of Denim Brands: Dylan George
From his relatively austere upbringings at the center of premium denim and lifestyle brands in Los Angeles, Danny Guez has become one of the most influential forces in the world of chic denim and premium branded lifestyle fashion. As the mastermind behind some of today's most popular brands, Guez's inspirational vision has fused the worlds of fashion, media and entertainment into a market superpower.
Stemming from a long line of denim connoisseurs and fashion royalty, Danny followed his bloodlines and launched the groundbreaking People's Liberation collection in November 2004. People's Liberation is coveted by high end celebrity clientele, tastemakers and the most influential fashion and media personnel. By synthesizing classic lines with leading edge fashion fused with an edgy au courant style, the collection continues to garner world wide acclaim from retailers, fashion editors, and consumers seeking the ultimate premium lifestyle brand.
Despite the unparalleled success of the People's Liberation collection, Danny's tireless passion to drive fashion to the ultimate pinnacle and beyond, would not let him rest. From Danny's incomparable vision came a partnership with business partners and childhood friends Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala to create the William Rast brand, once again unveiling to the world his unrivaled creative brand building prowess.
In yet another stunning example of Guez's unceasing ambition to fuse the worlds of fashion, media, and entertainment, he partnered with rock & roll icon Tommy Lee to create a limited collection of specialty pieces emblazoned with Tommy's signature tattoos. The special collection pieces entitled, Tommy Lee for People's Liberation, signify the edgy rocker's appreciation for premium fashion and Danny's unrivaled vision to deliver style without equal.
Previously, Danny Guez worked for Azteca Productions developing private label denim products for brands J. Crew , Pacific Sunwear, and American Eagle as well as William Rast and People's Liberation.
Guez's latest endeavor which launched in December 2008 is Dylan George, the highly anticipated lifestyle brand for both men and women. Dylan George establishes a new standard of apparel by marrying exquisite fabrics and handcrafted finishes with innovative, fashion-forward designs and an ultra-flattering fit. The line reflects the refined yet casual elegance of the new jet set exemplified by the exclusive Los Angeles scene where the brand is based.
As CEO and Creative Director for Dylan George, Guez states, "Dylan George allows my freedom and creativity to come together, blending my passion for art and respect for commerce. This is a lifestyle brand that draws its essence from Europe, but is clearly stamped in California."
What sets Dylan George apart from the hundreds of other denim brands in today's market is the authentic washes. Anyone can make a pair of jeans that "looks good" but "feeling good" is the key. Using Italian fabric and a European fit, Dylan George has created authentic washes for a price consumers can afford. Every pair fits to perfection and with the wide range of washes, there is a pair for every occasion – from casual to upscale.
Guez uses Los Angeles as the inspiration behind the relaxed-chic, yet free and sexy style of the Dylan George line. The collection has become a staple in the closets of Hollywood stars such as Alessandra Ambrosio, Anne Hathaway, Ashley Tisdale, Cameron Diaz, Christina Aguilera, Eva Mendes, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie and Vanessa Hudgens.
So what's next from the tireless visionary Danny Guez? No one knows. But one thing is for sure, it is certain to be another statement of inimitable premium fashion.
The Winners Of The Prima Jeans Contest Are:
Prima Jeans made a couple of changes and decided they wanted to give away 10 pairs of their jeans! The lucky winners are as follows:

Celebs in Denim: Jessica Alba in 7 For All Mankind
The gorgeous Jessica Alba was seen on the set of her latest movie Machete. She is wearing high rise 7 For All Mankind ankle crop jeans while shooting a scene. I love seeing behind the scenes on movie sets, it's very interesting to see how they make the films. Jess seems to be a huge fan of 7 For All Mankind jeans! They are a great brand, I love the fit of their skinnys. You can buy this similar pair at Shopbop for $155.

Balancing Act: Fathers settle in at home
July 8, 2012 12:00 AMOn any given weekday, you might find Jameson Mercier on his couch with his two daughters on his lap reading them their favorite books over and over -- not exactly the picture of a paternal provider most people envision.
But Mr. Mercier, of Plantation, Fla., father of 3-year-old Asrielle and 2-year-old Tamar, said he could never work a traditional 40-hour-a-week job. "I wouldn't get to spend this kind of time with my kids or do any of the things with them that I do now."
While fathers still represent a relatively small percentage of at-home parents, 3.4 percent, the number is significant because it has doubled in the past decade. Experts predict the percentage of at-home dads will continue to rise as more wives snap up high-paying jobs and families make pragmatic decisions about who will take on child care responsibilities.
In a new study, researchers from the Boston College Center for Work & Family interviewed more than 30 stay-at-home dads and found many are in that role not because they were laid off unexpectedly, but because they chose to take on the job. They also found that the men in the study "The New Dad: Right at Home," ages 28 to 48, varied in backgrounds but shared the commonality that their wives typically held jobs with higher earning potential, such as physicians, lawyers and business executives.
"These at-home fathers greatly enable their wives to pursue their careers in a much more assertive fashion without the limitation that virtually all working mothers experience," said Brad Harrington, executive director of the Center for Work & Family.
Also, more married men are becoming the primary caregiver, which means they may contribute some to the family income and still serve as the regular source of child care. That number has risen to 32 percent from 26 percent a decade ago, according to the U.S. Census.
"A lot of men are doing a lot of the child care, more than people believe is happening," said Al Watts, president of the National At-Home Dad Network and a stay-at-home dad to four children. "These dads are happy doing it. They think it's awesome to be involved in their kids' lives."

New York, N.Y. and Kansas City, Mo. - June 1, 2010 - IMAX Corporation (NASDAQ: IMAX; TSX: IMX) and AMC Entertainment (AMC), today announced an expansion of the companies' joint venture agreement to include installation of between 15 and 25 new IMAX® theatres in the United States. These theatres, which are part of an amendment to the parties' original 2007 joint venture agreement, are in addition to AMC's current roll-out of 104 IMAX joint venture theatres, 79 of which are in operation and 25 of which are expected to open by the end of 2010 in the United States and Canada.
The companies intend to open the 15 to 25 new IMAX theatres in 2011 in both new markets and some markets where AMC already operates IMAX theatres in North America. Upon completion of the full AMC IMAX theatre roll-out, AMC will operate between 125 and 135 IMAX theatres.
"We are pleased to expand our relationship with IMAX, a valued partner in offering our guests the best out-of-home entertainment experience," said Gerry Lopez, CEO and president, AMC. "Our guests clearly choose to see movies in our IMAX auditoriums because the experience is unparalleled in terms of sight and sound, and it continues to be the premium offering in our portfolio of moviegoing options. We are proud to continue being the largest exhibitor partner of IMAX, and we are committed to providing our guests with the best choices in moviegoing."
Included among the terms of the amended agreement is an increase in the length of the joint venture arrangement for all AMC IMAX theatres - to 10 years from the previous term of seven years - as well as an adjusted allocation of costs to help defray AMC's increased operating expenses.
"Today's announcement is great news for AMC, IMAX and IMAX fans across North America," said Richard L. Gelfond, CEO, IMAX Corporation. "We are pleased to continue to grow with our long-time exhibitor partner AMC, contribute to their continued operational and financial success and bring The IMAX Experience® to more consumers. We are also excited that through this expansion, we expect to increase the number of potential IMAX theatres in North America beyond the 400 locations we originally targeted. We look forward to continuing our growth and success with AMC."
