“The Sweet Life on Stretches of ‘Sugar Sand’

Walton County, Fla. (PRWEB) January 20, 2009

Not so any longer. Attracted by some of the best values in Florida (not to mention some of the state’s most acclaimed beaches), buyers from all over the USA and Canada are heading to south Walton County. A new international airport scheduled for 2010 may bring them from even farther.

The main selling point is sand, so soft and white locals call it “sugar sand.” The 26-mile stretch of coastline that constitutes the beaches of south Walton County has 14 towns or communities – including Seaside, the locale for the fictional picture-perfect town in the film The Truman Show. All 26 miles have been certified “Blue Wave Beaches,” an environmental seal of approval from the Clean Beaches Council.

The entire strip is on a narrow peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico and Choctawhatchee Bay. More than 40 percent of the region is owned by the state and protected from development. There are numerous state parks and preserves, as well as an extensive network of protected sand dunes. All of it is linked by more than 200 miles of bicycle paths and hiking trails. But the landscape is not all nature: The strip has about a dozen golf courses.

The 14 communities are each distinct – some gated, some not; some planned, some evolved. The best-known are Sandestin, Seaside, WaterSound and WaterColor. Among them, they contain an array of restaurants, art galleries, shops and recreational facilities. Most have a mix of houses, townhouses and condos. Prices also are diverse, from just over $ 100,000 to several million dollars.

“Compared to south or central Florida, we have a huge variety of product with a large number of affordable homes,” says Joe Bracciale, director of real estate sales at Sandestin.

Major Radio Personality’s Life Shattered

Atlanta, Ga (PRWEB) July 17, 2006

Saban Brown, registered at 211 Ormond Street, Atlanta Ga. July 14th, has launched a national campaign to clear his name.

Saban Brown is a non violent registered sex offender and major radio personality who admits he had consensual sex with a 15 year old girl in 1998; who admittedly lied about her age. Brown then 24 years of age met the young lady while working a live radio station broadcast in a Mobile, Al club.

Brown, and the young lady agreed to go to a nearby hotel where they had consensual sex. This led to an ongoing relationship, until it was revealed to Brown that the young lady was an under age run away.

Shocked by this Brown immediately cooperated with authorities; 60 days later Brown was indicted and arrested while on the air at (WJWZ) Alabama and was facing 20 years for rape 2nd which is statutory rape in the state of Alabama.

Detectives stated to Brown during questing that “ignorance of the law is no excuse according to Alabama state law as long as sexual contact played a part in the relationship with a minor regardless of the circumstances.”

After 90 days in jail, Brown was approached by a public defender during a court hearing with a plea bargain agreement that had already been worked out with the district attorney; allowing Mr. Brown to go free time served with 2 years probation, the minimum sentence, or face a trial and receiving 20 years, the maximum sentence under Alabama Law.

Brown took the plea bargain because he did not want to take the risk of being sentence to 20 years based upon the Alabama State Law.

After Brown’s release, he later was told by an Alabama probation officer that he had to register as a sex offender.

Brown found it difficult to find a place to live, as well he was told by probation that he would be arrested if he did not find residents in 7 days; luckily he found a place in a halfway house, whereby fliers were distributed 1000 feet in each direction with his photo and information upon them.

Still strong Brown managed to complete his probation and was authorized to move to Mississippi with his father who was diagnose with prostate cancer. unable to find a job, Brown resulted in obtaining welfare and registered under Mississippi laws.

Although Brown experienced frustration and family problems he refused to give up. He wanted a better life so he relocated to Miami, FL. under the guidelines of Florida laws and registered.

Brown, obtained a job as a professional financial consultant. 6 months had passed and Brown decided to visit his father in Mississippi. While at his fathers home in Mississippi, Brown received a call and was asked to come to the pass Christian police dept, where he was unlawfully arrested for failure to register as a sex offender. Authorities later found out that Brown was in fact registered, and an order for his release was made.

The mix up was caused by a data entry error between the state of Mississippi and Florida; Brown had to deal with the public scrutiny of a shattered life all over again. This store made nation headlines; moreover, Brown’s wanted profile had to be pulled from Mississippi”s top 10 most wanted.

Brown lost his job, residence and was asked by Florida authorities to: “please leave Florida.” Brown stated to the national media that he had suffered a public lynching; which caught the attention of Rev. Al Sharpton and BET’s Jackie Reed.

Brown went into seclusion and moved to Atlanta, Ga. to try to piece his life back together again, registered and later found a job as a sales training manager. Brown managed to save enough money to try to continue where he was cut off from his dream to be a top producer/entertainer.

Saban Brown, aka (yanta Love) now know as “MIAMI BLACC” has been performing in clubs all around Atlanta and creating a major street buzz, and catching the attention of major hip hop labels, producers and artist etc.

“MIAMI BLACC” continues to fight for human rights and agreed to take a political stance in support of individuals trapped in the the same situation as he.

“MIAMI BLACC” does not support an individual who knowingly commits a violent crime against women or children.

“A violent predator does not even need to see daylight nor given the right to freedom.”

New Website Aimed at Cabin Rentals for Florida Residents who Enjoy Life Halfway Back

Cape Coral, FL (PRWEB) August 7, 2007 -

According to the new website FloridaHalfbacks.com, which features detailed and complete information on a variety of facets, including cabin rentals, after years of movement to Florida, people are now leaving the state to seek more comfortable lives in the Smoky Mountains and throughout the southeast.

It comes as no surprise that people from the north move to Florida every year in droves. For decades the migration to Florida was as obvious as the ripe colors of the oranges on the Florida trees. Now, as hundreds of thousands of Floridians start to miss the comforts of the north, a new movement is rising, one that has Florida residents becoming Halfbacks.

A Florida Halfback is a nickname given to Floridians that originally migrated to Florida from the north, but now prefer to live halfway back, in the scenic Smoky Mountains and lake areas of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia. The official website for those aspiring to be part of the Halfback movement, either full-time or part-time though cabin rentals for example, is FloridaHalfbacks.com.

FloridaHalfbacks.com offers visitors a comprehensive guide to spending time in the beautiful Smoky Mountains and lake regions with just a few clicks of a button. The website provides detailed information on real estate, cabin rentals, hotels, resorts, bed and breakfast inns, developments, campgrounds, attractions, golf, and more for those considering a temporary or perpetual stay in the mountain and lake regions.

Advertisers sweeten the pot for those visiting FloridaHalfbacks.com by offering incentives geared towards Florida residents to spend time in the Smoky Mountains and lake regions of the Southeast. The website is easy to navigate, offering visitors subject related pages on all of the Halfback regions and on a wide variety of topics, including cabin rentals. One can visit the website for twenty minutes and have an abundance of information that will facilitate their ability to enjoy the area.

Several factors fueling the Florida Halfback trend include cooler milder weather, less traffic, lower real estate prices, and significantly lower property tax and insurance for home owners. All of the above factors have made becoming a Florida Halfback an enticing option. And whether after new real estate or seasonal relocation through cabin rentals, the site involves a treasure trove of information.

With the growth of interest in all kinds of information, including cabin rentals, in the mountain and lakes regions, it is no surprise that FloridaHalfbacks.com is growing rapidly as well. The just-launched website is already seeing an increase in daily traffic. Combine the traffic increase with a user friendly online forum community, and it is safe to assume this site will be a major resource for those looking to relocate to the Smoky Mountains region in the near future. For more information on the website or about Florida Halfbacks visit http://www.FloridaHalfbacks.com.

Announcing the “Leadership for Life” Conference

Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) December 31, 2007

“In the ongoing travesty of the debate over whether abortion and infanticide should be condoned, a voice in the wilderness continues to cry out, ‘what about the children?’” Sponsored by the Issues4Life Foundation, Dr. Alveda C. King and Dr. Clenard H. Childress, will address leaders in the African-American community and speak out for the future of the yet unborn at the “Leadership for Life” conference in Berkeley, California. Everyone is invited to attend.

The “Leadership for Life” conference will be held Friday, January 18th, 2008 from 2:30 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. at the Progressive M.B.C. of Berkeley, 3301 King Street, Berkeley, California, 94703-2623, where Dr. Earl C.

To contact the Progressive M.B.C. of Berkeley call (510) 655-3660 or visit their website at http://www.progressive4life.org.

During the years of the Civil Rights Movement, led by her Uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Alveda’s family home was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama. In the heat of the struggle, “Daddy’s house was bombed, then in Louisville, Kentucky his church office was bombed. I was also jailed during the open housing movement,” Dr. King recalls.

Alveda has continued her long-term work as a civil rights activist, speaking out on issues that face society today. “Perhaps the most compelling issue of all is the life of the unborn,” Alveda continues by saying “Faith in God, and the commitment to fulfill His will for our lives — not faith in government bureaucracy — is the key to positive action. Have faith in God!” This is the message that Alveda carries to the world.

Dr. Childress is Pastor of the New Calvary Baptist, in Montclair, New Jersey, assistant to The National Director of The Life Education And Resource Network, member of the National Pro-Life Religious Council of Washington, DC, board member of The Center For Bio Ethical Reform, founder of the Pro-life website Blackgenocide.Org, chief organizer of the “Say So” March to the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, DC and author of No Shepherd’s Cry.
