If a political candidate pays a local ad firm, that firm will promote them. The TDC gives a non-profit organization a bunch of money to use to promote their event (Blue Grass) and the same local ad firm mentioned in first sentence also works for the TDC. The event takes place including being sponsored by a political candidate that has also employed the local ad firm to represent him. When all is said and done and the excerpts and photos of the event are seen on tv, facebook, etc. only the candidates that had paid the local ad firm is seen. How can the TDC put on a political showcase for a few???
#2 Apr 29, 2012
Congratulations. You have just figured out what our entire political system is based on...$$$$$$$
#3 Apr 29, 2012
Was wondering how this particular guy got so much publicity. I wonder how much he put out to have his name as a sponsor. How much did the TDC invest in this? Sounds like a conflict of interest on the ad agencies part.
#4 Apr 29, 2012
Who governs the TDC, where does their money come from, where would we find their budget, who is the local ad agency and why would a local candidate need to hire an ad agency?
#5 Apr 30, 2012
I've tried to find info about the tourist development council like who is on the board, link between them and the county commissioners, etc. and have failed. Can anyone give me some help? When I go to their website about all I get is a link to the real Florida online magazine and as original poster said they are showcasing a few candidates. Would be interested to know if these are the ones who hired an ad agency for a local election. Any dude not smart enough to manage their own campaign does not need to be in running our local government.

Have you called their office? They are happy to explain, I am sure. I am not certain about their work but know they operate off of something called the 'bed tax'. And they do report to the BOCC. There are some good people working to promote our county & bring in tourism. But like I said, I am sure they would be happy to talk to you, if you just call.

The Washington County TDC is funded soley with and by a bed tax. The bed tax is levied on the hotels and campgrounds and any entity that lodges individuals. Washington County citizens do not pay this tax unless you stay in one of our hotels or campgrounds.
The TDC submits its budget to the BOCC every year for approval. When people or events come to us for money they have an application to fill out and if they are awarded any funds, they are told that it is highly suggested that 2/3 of the money be spent outside of the County in advertisement in order to draw in people from outside the county in order to get them to spend their money in our county.
The organizations are NOT told to use any particular agency for their advertising, this is up to them.
Our meetings are on the last Monday of the month, are advertised in the newspapers and are open to the public.
I invite anyone who has questions or wants to see how we operate to come to our meetings.

TDC Member

thank you for paying attention and giving an honest reply. It is truly good to see someone in a position that reading the post's here on the site where people come to say what is really on their mind that they would not normally say in public. thanks again ted.
#9 May 3, 2012
Someone told me about this today. Do you mean to tell me that an executive at our county chamber actually RESPONDS TO INDIVIDUALS ON THIS SITE????
According to the post time, Ted Everitt did this on his PAID WORK TIME!!!!! GIve me a break! I can not believe that this "so called" professional person would do this! Unbelievable!!!!
#10 May 3, 2012
YOU BITCH when they dont reply...you BITCH when they do... at least someone is paying attention, I for one would like to say thank you Mr, everette
#11 May 4, 2012
Why are you complaining that Mr. Everitt is doing this on his "PAID WORK TIME!!!"? It would appear to me, that he is trying to stay on top of things by reading and responding to interested individuals. I would think that part of his paid work time duties is to stay abreast of things so as to keep down mistrust and to keep open communication to the public. Wouldn't it be great if the commissioners would read some of this stuff and respond to it on their "paid work time" instead of drawing gas allowances, buying new furniture,getting the county sued and sued and sued? If we're writing stuff on topix, certainly we want someone to read it.
#12 May 4, 2012
Mr. Everett is not paid to monitor a "gossip" forum. If someone has a viable question that warrants his professional attention, they should call his office. It's embarrassing for the city that he would correspond on this forum. It is not professional or ethical!!!!
#13 May 5, 2012
And what is professional or ethical in WC?
#14 May 5, 2012
Good Lord. How do you know he responded on his paid time? And, what if he did? If this forum is so bad, then why the h--- are you reading and responding to it? He is paid to respond to whatever negative questions are rasied about the County in any forum or way that presents itself. Give him a call and express your opinion, but frankly I appreciate his response to these questions.
#15 May 5, 2012
I agree..you asked the question and now you have the answer from a member of the group you questioned. Whats wrong "are you kidding"? Did it mess up your bitching session by someone posting the truth? Grow up and go get a job.
#16 May 6, 2012
sounds like everett is doing a good job. The tdc guy in okaloosa county stole a couple of million then went to alabama and committed suicide. I think they are going to study his brain like they are doing the football dudes.
United States
#17 May 15, 2012
This is a prime example as to why this site should be band from existance. Mr Everett invited you to his meetings and answered a question. A political candidate paid someone money (which I perfectly legal to do) to advertise for him and you bash them for no good reason. If this web sight actually stuck to discussions instead of gossip spreading and slandering it would be ok. Mr Everett would have done just as well to have told you to get bent and it was none of your business. He would have got the same amount of positive responses as negative ones. I would never respond to anyone on this sight. It is the work of the devil.
#18 May 15, 2012
Hey, Funny!!! What was that amendment number again?
#19 May 16, 2012
Is there any HONEST elected officials in Washington county? If so, please point them out!
#20 May 16, 2012
if we pointed them out you would bash them any way. Helen McIntyre, Linda Cook and Gil Carter come to mind as honest politicans.

We all know Skepta is a fan of performing in public wearing pyjama bottoms, but we didn't think the trend would catch on with Grammy award winner Adele.
The singer has admitted that she chooses to wear her pyjamas and old tracksuit bottoms whenever she needs to walk through the bustling streets of London in order to avoid being noticed. She told The Sun:
I've managed to stay out of the public eye recently… The other day I walked through Trafalgar Square. I was in my pyjamas. I had floral tracksuit bottoms on, a green coat and pink pumps. Luckily I had a massive umbrella so no one recognised me.
So next time you see a crazy lady singing at the top of her voice in her pyjamas, stop her. It might just be Adele.

Situation Update: Summary of Weekly FluView Report
U.S. Situation Update
Key Flu Indicators
According to the first full FluView report for the 2016-2017 season, flu activity is low overall in the continental United States, with only Guam reporting widespread flu activity. Influenza A (H3) viruses were most common during week 40. While the timing of influenza activity varies and is unpredictable, flu activity often begins to increase in October. CDC recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older get an annual flu vaccine before the end of October, if possible. Below is a summary of the key flu indicators for the week ending October 8, 2016:
- For the week ending October 8, the proportion of people seeing their health care provider for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 1.1%. This is below the national baseline of 2.2%. All 10 regions reported ILI below their region-specific baseline levels.
- New York City and all 50 states experienced minimal ILI activity. The District of Columbia and Puerto Rico did not have sufficient data to calculate an activity level. ILI activity data indicate the amount of flu-like illness that is occurring in each state.
- Widespread flu activity was reported by Guam. Local flu activity was reported by Puerto Rico and one state (New Hampshire). Sporadic flu activity was reported by the U.S. Virgin Islands and 36 states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming). No activity was reported by the District of Columbia and 13 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia). Geographic spread data show how many areas within a state or territory are seeing flu activity.
- Influenza-associated hospitalization data from the Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET) for the 2016-2017 influenza season will be updated weekly starting later this season.
- The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was 5.4% for the week ending September 24, 2016 (week 38). This percentage is below the epidemic threshold of 6.3% for week 38 in the NCHS Mortality Surveillance System.
- CDC is no longer publishing mortality data from the 122 Cities Mortality Reporting System (122 CMRS) in the weekly MMWR Table 3 or the FluView Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report. The 122 CMRS is being retired. Influenza mortality data will continue to be collected through the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) mortality surveillance system. This data will be published in the weekly MMWR Table 3 and in FluView going forward.
- No influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported to CDC this week.
- Nationally, the percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza viruses in clinical laboratories during the week ending October 8 was 1.7%.
- Regional clinical laboratory data percentages ranged from 0.1% to 4.2% for the most recent three weeks.
- No genetic or antigenic characterization data is available yet for viruses collected after October 1, 2016. This information will be updated weekly beginning later in the season.
- For viruses collected between May 22–Sept 30, 2016, antigenic and/or genetic characterization shows that the majority of the tested viruses remain similar to the recommended components of the 2016-2017 Northern Hemisphere vaccines.
- No antiviral resistance data is available for specimens collected after October 1, 2016. From May 22-September 30, 2016, however, CDC tested 159 specimens (14 influenza A (H1N1)pdm09, 84 influenza A (H3N2), and 61 influenza B viruses) for resistance to the neuraminidase inhibitors antiviral drugs. While the vast majority of the viruses that have been tested in recent months are sensitive to oseltamivir, zanamivir, and peramivir, one (7.1%) influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 viruses showed resistance to oseltamivir and peramivir. A total of 12 influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 viruses were tested for zanamivir susceptibility and all were susceptible. None of the 84 influenza A (H3) and 61 influenza B viruses were found to be resistant to either oseltamivir, zanamivir, or peramivir. Antiviral resistance data will be updated weekly starting later in the season.
FluView is available – and past issues are archived – on the CDC website.
Note: Delays in reporting may mean that data changes over time. The most up to date data for all weeks during the 2016-2017 season can be found on the current FluView.

(The Root) — This week Republican Senate candidate and current Missouri Rep. Todd Akin made what many consider to be a career-ending comment. While defending his no-exceptions position on abortion, the congressman dismissed the issue of pregnancies caused by rape by saying, "If it's legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
I missed this little nugget of wisdom in sex-ed class, and apparently others, including many of Akin's fellow Republicans, did as well. The backlash to Akin's comments has been bipartisan and swift. He was considered virtually a shoo-in for election to the Senate, with Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill viewed as one of the most vulnerable Democrats facing re-election.
Not anymore.
But Akin is not the first politician to commit political suicide by choking on his foot.
Below is a list of some of the most offensive political gaffes in the modern political era.
1. 1989: Councilman Jim Westmoreland uses a racial slur to joke about a deceased black congressman.
Houston Councilman Jim Westmoreland was a comfortable, 16-year incumbent when a news report included off-the-record comments he made about efforts to rename a Houston airport in honor of Rep. Mickey Leland. Leland, who was African American, died in a plane crash on a humanitarian trip to Ethiopia in 1989. According to reporter Andrew Kirtzman, Westmoreland said, "The idea now is to name the airport Nigger International. That way it would satisfy all the blacks." Westmoreland claimed he actually said "Negro International." Despite this attempted defense, he lost re-election to a black woman, Beverly Clark.
2. 1990: Gubernatorial candidate Clayton Williams jokes about rape. No one laughs.
Clayton Williams was a multimillionaire Texas energy mogul when he ran for governor of that state in 1990 against long-shot Democratic candidate Ann Richards, who was the state's treasurer. Williams led by as much as 20 points before an off-the-record joke came back to bite his campaign in a big way. According to a reporter, Williams had this to say about rape: "As long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it." The remark mortally wounded Williams' campaign. Richards would go on to become governor of Texas and a Democratic Party legend.

The Shrivelling of European Citizenship [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor Damian Chalmers | The institution of EU citizenship is increasingly challenged yet the heterogeneity and intensity of membership rights enjoyed by non-nationals has increased.

The soft power of the EU is no longer limited to stabilisation and transformation of societies alone. Europe sets the standard in many fields.

EU Enlargement and the Western Balkans: A Fast Track or Slow Lane [Audio]
Speaker(s): Ingeborg Grssle; Tanja Fajon | It has been said that EU enlargement in the Western Balkans is about completing the Union. The key question is when and how to do it.

Building Social Business: The New Kind Of Capitalism That Serves Humanity's Most Pressing Needs [Aud
Speaker(s): Professor Muhammad Yunus | Muhammad Yunus has developed a visionary new dimension for capitalism which he calls "social business".

Reiki – Based on a nonexistent spiritual "energy"
Reiki (sometimes mispronounced as /rejˌiki/, it is properly pronounced /reːki/) is a pseudoscientific therapy based on the following beliefs:
- there is a universal and inexhaustible spiritual "energy"[1] which can be used for healing purposes
- through an attunement process carried out by a Reiki Master, any person can gain access to this "energy"
- this "energy" will flow through the Reiki Master's hands when he/she places his/her hands near the patient
- this "energy" has human-like intelligence
- as this "energy" is intelligent, there is no need for diagnosis. This "energy" will automatically judge the disease and will heal the patient.
It can be dangerous, or even life-threatening, if someone avoids evidence-based medicine and relies upon Reiki for treatment.

Jupiter Planet Moons
Real Jupiter Planet NASA
Some of Jupiter's moons! There are 67 confirmed moons of Jupiter. This gives Jupiter the largest number of moons with reasonably secure orbits of any planet in the Solar System.
The four largest and best known of Jupiter's 60+ moons.
Like the sun, Jupiter is composed predominantly of hydrogen & helium. But unlike the sun, it lacks the necessary amount to begin fusion, the process that fuels a star. Jupiter would need to be 75-80 times more massive than it is at present to be considered a star. If all of the planets in the solar system had formed as part of the gas giant, it still would not have sufficient mass. Still, by itself, Jupiter is 2 & 1/2 times larger than all of the other planets in the solar system combined.
Jupiter has 64 moons, and from top to bottom, the moons shown are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
Callisto, Jupiter's moon-Spectacular! According to NASA, it has the darkest surface of the four Galilean moons, but is twice as bright as our moon :) It is also the most heavily cratered object in the entire solar system!
Moons of the Solar System> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_natural_satellites
callisto. one of jupiter's moons and one of my very favorite things in space. - Bing Images
Ganymede A satellite of Jupiter and the largest moon in the Solar System. It is the seventh moon and third Galilean satellite outward from Jupiter. Completing an orbit in roughly seven days, Ganymede participates in a 1:2:4 orbital resonance with the moons Europa and Io, respectively.
Rare Triple Eclipse On Jupiter - Five spots – one colored white, one blue, and three black – are scattered across the upper half of the planet. The spots are actually a rare alignment of three of Jupiter's largest moons – Io, Ganymede, and Callisto – across the planet's face - Hubble Space Telescope

Opera is often a moving experience that utilizes music to tell a story. The music that accompanies the performance is passionate and dramatic. Singing opera requires a combination of natural talent, training, a love of languages, dramatic flair and an affinity for acting. As with anything, singing opera requires practice. You should expect long hours and hard work. After all, the word opera means "work" in Italian.
Things You'll Need
- Recordings of operas
- Opera tickets
- Voice lessons
- Knowledge of foreign languages
- Ability to read music
Listen to opera music, attend live shows and study the great performers. The most important elements in learning any skill are knowledge and passion. If you have a love for the music, study the genre for a thorough understanding of it. It is crucial to understand the music if you want to be successful performing it. Studying the great opera singers will influence your style and allow you to find your own niche.
Take voice lessons to help you refine your abilities. An instructor will also help you find your tessitura (the range with which you feel most comfortable). If you are unable to afford professional instruction, look for discounted lessons at a local university or college. Students in music programs are often looking for pupils on which to test their skills.
Study foreign languages commonly used in opera. Italian is a wise choice, since the majority of opera music is sung in Italian.
Study music theory and how to read music. An instructor will help, but you can increase your knowledge through books and online resources. Data Dragon is one online site that offers in-depth instruction on how to read music (see Resources below).
Join a choir to train your voice further, test your range and practice reading music.
Sing every day. Cantolopera can help you practice by providing the background instrumentation for the songs featured in many popular operas (see Resources below).
Tips & Warnings
- Look for a music teacher through the National Association of Teachers of Singing (see Resources below).
- Always warm up your voice before you sing. It is important to prepare your vocal chords and stretch the muscles needed to sing.
