Some local officials and business owners worry the recent Tourist Development Council resignations could slow the momentum needed to market Okaloosa Island and Destin for the upcoming summer and fall seasons.
The six vacancies will leave the council without a quorum, and it is unclear when the next meeting will be held.
Fort Walton Beach City Councilman Bobby Nabors, one of three members left on the panel, said Okaloosa County already has lost ground on necessary advertising in the nine months since the Mark Bellinger fraud scheme was discovered.
Former TDC Member Nick Nicholson, who stepped down Wednesday, said the TDC's mission is a critical.
"It's a very important industry," he said. "The TDC is a very important element of our economy."
However, TDC Director Dan O'Byrne said he doesn't expect the vacancies to stand in the way of the county's planned advertising campaigns.
"I'm hopeful there will be very little slowdown," he said. "I think in terms of generic advertising, at least with the relationship we've entered into with the Peter Mayer agency, I don't know why that can't go forward right away."
The TDC doesn't authorize advertising or marketing expenditures. It only recommends projects to the county commissioners, who have the final approval.
O'Byrne and his staff now function as the tourist development department and follow the procedures laid out county-wide.
"I've never known anything other than taking things to the commissioners," he said. "My line of reporting hasn't changed."
O'Byrne has postponed presenting three upcoming sponsorship opportunities because they must be reviewed by the county attorney to make sure they comply with county policies.
Those events include a youth soccer tournament in Destin planned for March and a three-part volleyball event planned for April, May and October.
"These are all great things to do, but it's as important that we do them correctly," O'Byrne said.
Mike Minich, whose company produces the volleyball tournaments, said he hopes the county will approve the $30,000 sponsorship the TDC has recommended for his events. If not, the tournaments still will take place, he said.
"They're absolutely going to go on," he said. "All of ours are shoulder season events. It's bringing people to town when nobody's here."
O'Byrne said he will work with attorney Greg Stewart in the coming weeks to determine how the county must fill the TDC vacancies under state law.
The council is "essentially starting over," he said.
County Commissioner Kelly Windes said he wants to see the TDC back up to its full capacity soon.
"It's quite important," he said. "We want a full complement of decision makers, or recommenders."
O'Byrne said he doesn't see it being difficult to fill the empty seats.
"I think the enthusiasm is out there," he said. "I really do believe, fundamentally, that everyone knows what an incredible destination this is and what enormous potential we have to create business."

Also, from Monday 11th, all threads discussing non-BBC programmes (unless they are comparing a BBC programme and non-BBC programme) will now be considered off-topic and will have to take place on the Green Room thread. The existing threads for non-BBC programmes will be closed over time, starting the same day.
They're really trying to kill off the POV boards. All threads about non-BBC shows are to be closed.
That means that threads about Lost, Primeval, etc, which have been going for several years, will be wiped out.
If it's a money-saving enterprise, perhaps they could ask Mr J. Ross to contribute a few quid?

Moving from a notoriously crime-ridden area of
"It was rough," Trabal said. "For me to pay the whole rent, there would be no way. With groceries and everything becoming more and more expensive, having an easy rent to make helps a lot."
Trabal now has a safe and affordable place to raise her son, she said. She does not worry about crime and only rarely has to weigh out which groceries she cannot afford that month. The only downside from where she stood —
She is one of about 400 low-income individuals, families and elderly of
Many economists argue any money saved on rent is spent directly at local businesses on groceries, clothes and household necessities. However, people applying for residency can expect the process to take years, and background checks, including credit reports and eviction history, exclude a large portion of the least fortunate.
The wait
The Housing Choice Voucher program, or Section 8, provides housing assistance to people in need based on a variety of factors, including income levels, family size and geographic location of an applicant and their family.
The Panama City Housing Authority receives funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for housing on the private market. Vouchers issued to single income earners of $0 to $20,250 per year can cover up to 70 percent of rent payments. Families of eight can earn up to $38,150 and still qualify for a voucher.
And as long as the recipient does not exceed income limits, a voucher can be renewed indefinitely, Housing Authority officials said.
The Housing Authority used to report how many vouchers were needed for the budget year and HUD would multiply funding for each voucher by that number. Now they are allocated a fluctuating amount annually and the Housing Authority carves out how many vouchers the funding can cover.
Waiting lists are mandatory for all Section 8 housing communities to conduct background checks, but because of the change in how the vouchers are funded by the federal government,
A 50-page waiting list sits on the desk of Joe Woods, executive director of the Panama City Housing Authority. Within its pages are the names of 734 people, many with children, waiting for something to come through in the way of stable, affordable housing in
The minimum amount of time any of them can expect to wait on the list is about two years, Woods said.
In the past few years, not only has the Housing Authority been restricted to releasing fewer low-income housing vouchers, down from 418 to about 360 vouchers a year, but the rate of families transitioning out of low-income housing on a monthly basis has slowed to near stagnation.
"People just aren't moving out of Section 8 housing like they used to," Woods said.
Ten years ago, Woods remembered, about 15 families each month would move through the revolving doors of low-income housing. By the end of 2013, that number had dropped to about three or four.
"Either they got jobs, they moved from the area or, for whatever reason, they would move off our program," Woods said. "I don't know for sure, but I would say the economy has made a difference. People can't load up, take a job in
Though the Housing Authority's budget increased from about $1.9 million in 2005 to $2.3 million in 2013, the number of vouchers has declined because of increased living expenses.
"Just like going to the grocery store, those prices have gone up," Woods said. "Utilities have gone up and rent has gone up so that money does not go as far."
Public backlash
While several options to fund development of additional low-income housing exist,
Residents of the Glenwood community in September rejected a proposal for low-income housing on half the site of the
Several factors contributed to the proposal's ill reception, including the developer's history in the community, but Glenwood representatives raised concerns of increases in crime and decreases in property values of nearby residences.
The Rev. Rufus Wood, resident of the area, was the community's most vocal opponent of the Paces Foundation,
"That didn't go down right the first time and that left a bad taste in the community's mouth," Wood said. "We did not feel that was right for that community. And it was almost like, 'Y'all are going to get this whether you like it or not.' "
However, concerns opponents drummed up of plummeting living standards surrounding Panama Commons are not supported in city records. Panama Commons has seen fewer police calls than three other comparably sized, low-income housing developments throughout the city.
A central
"The stigmas they brought up are not there," said Commissioner Ken Brown, who represents the ward. "All I've seen has been positive."
Research of property records for immediately adjacent single-family houses does not indicate a dramatic decrease or increase in either direction. Only one property value increased by about $40,000 without significant additional structures, according to Property Appraiser documents. All other homes either remained at the same level, as far as assessed value, or decreased by about 2 cents on the dollar.
Wood attributed the discrepancies for low-income housing developments in
"When they build them, it's beautiful and over a period of years deteriorates," Wood said. "It doesn't happen overnight."
Commissioner John Kady, one of the city's most vocal opponents of federally subsidized housing developments, echoed the community's concerns.
"Eventually in these communities, over time, the quality of workmanship degrades and management is nowhere to be found, because the developers can walk away from it shortly after it is built," Kady said.
Paces representatives mentioned at the town hall meeting they would not be responsible for any low-income housing project after 15 years. The admission further sealed the development's fate for meeting attendees.
Revenue and compatibility
City commissioners approved groundwork for more than 5,000 homes in the past year, which would contribute to the city and county tax base, but denied low-income and elderly developments, which also are not tax-exempt.
Plans for 80 units of affordable housing on the site of the
In 2011, Paces struggled with obtaining a development order through the planning board, the commission and community backlash but eventually constructed Panama Commons at
"When the federal government or state comes in and heavily subsidizes that type of housing, it interferes with the natural market, and people who have housing for rent are put at a disadvantage," Kady said. "They're pumping all kinds of money to subsidize developers and it messes up the market."
Kady echoed the Glenwood community's concern of
Kady said other portions of
"There is a need for a balance for affordable housing in the broader community — on the beach, Lynn Haven and
Only one low-income development is located on the beach side of the
But, with vouchers to supplement rent remaining at currently funded levels, Woods disagreed that more low-income housing developments would help, and instead said building more affordable housing would be an empty gesture.
"The only solution I see is to put people back to work," he said.
Despite the negative reception of a low-income apartment complex on the historic site in Glenwood, officials said a silent majority of residents within the community would favor an affordable housing development — one that would specifically benefit elderly residents who have contributed to the community.
Brown never heard back from the Paces Foundation as to whether a second presentation would occur.
"The real intent was overshadowed," Brown said. "But I'm still looking for emails, phones calls or any other kind of feedback regarding another site for elderly housing."
Brown said he would be "willing to sit down and listen to any suggestions," but a housing development would not proceed without the consent of the people.
Many of his constituents favor elderly apartment complexes because many homes of elderly residents are dilapidated.
If another contractor wanted to build something along those lines in the city, Brown said he would "bring it to the people," he said. "It's different here in Glenwood than the other site. We want it here."
"This is all about the senior citizens and bringing more commerce," Brown said. "Some people can't see the long-term benefits. … There are many things they are not looking at."

Tesla Martin is drifting pleasantly through life, slinging lattes at Morningstar Mocha, enjoying the ebb and flow of caffeine-starved customers, devoted to her cadre of regulars. But none of the bottomless-cup crowd compares with Meredith, a charismatic force of nature who can coax intimate tales from even the shyest of Morningstar's clientele.
Caught in Meredith's sensual, irresistible orbit, inexpressibly flattered by the siren's attention, Tesla shares long-buried chapters of her life, holding nothing back. Nothing Meredith proposes seems impossible - not even Tesla sleeping with Meredith's husband, Charlie, while she looks on. After all, it's all in fun, isn't it?
In a heartbeat, vulnerable Tesla is swept into a spectacular love triangle. Together, gentle, grounded Charlie and sparkling, maddening Meredith are everything Tesla has ever needed, wanted or dreamed of, even if no one else on earth understands. They're three against the world.
But soon one of the vertices begins pulling away until only two points remain - and the space between them gapes with confusion, with grief and with possibility.

"Classic Megan Hart"
The story line captured you from the first words you hear until the last.
The pace of the story was excellent with just enough of the main character back ground to under stand why she wants the things she wants.
I loved the voice of the narrator.I felt more connected to the characters through her voice.
The second to last chapter when the main character chooses her self over begging for what she really wants.
This was one of the best books I've listen to in a long time. It is one of the reason Megan Hart is one of my favorite authors. Her books are always written in a way to make you really think how you would react if you ever found your self in the situations her characters find themselves in.
"Never a Disappointment"
Sexual. Erotic. Deep. And the narration was on point. What more can I say? Buy it!
I frequently thought about not finishing this book. It actually was a great story in regards to the complexity of intimate relationships. Perhaps because of the nature of the characters, the explicit sexual scenes were appropriate but they were not my "cup of tea". I definitely believe that the X-Rated nature of the book should have been included in the summary. It would be offensive to some and I would hate to have given this book as a gift based on the summary without reading it first.
"Another Great One by Megan Hart"
I love this author! I only discovered her about two months ago and this was my 7th book that I have listened to by her...she has great character development and new and different story lines in each book that unfolds beautiful love stories. I also love how her characters from each book show up again in the other books...all of her stories take place in PA and main characters from other books pop up as side characters in future books. For instance, in this one Johhny D. shows up from Collide and Sadie and Joe show up from Broken. It just seems to weave a storyline through all of the books.
I love Tesla in this book - very sure of herself...I also love Charlie. Very romantic, sexy and honest. And...another great narrator for Megan Hart - wonderful voices.
I recommend this book. Another review said this was a very similar storyline to Tempted...aside from there being 3 people involved in the love story...I don't think anything else was similar...so don't let that deter you from reading it.
"loved it!"
Not sure, never read in print
Was a sexy story with a really good plot.
A sensual story that will keep you wondering what is going to happen next
Say something about yourself!
"This was a little odd for me"
No, I have loved all of Megan Harts books I have in my library thus far. This one was a little odd to me. There is a woman that works at a coffee shop and a woman that basically lives in the coffee shop. She takes her home to make her apart of her marriage and then she almost disappears.
HATE spoilers! Enjoy HOT, sexy books w/a plot. No vampires, paranormal, teens 4 me. Books outside HOT genre = books given to me to review
"Really liked this, however I skipped the prologe.."
...because it felt like it was giving the story away. After listening to the book, I'm glad I did skip it because I'd have listened differently (like seeing a movie before reading the book).
It was a great Megan Hart story...characters had depth and feeling along with great sex descriptions. (Graphic-not for your 'everyday' romance reader).
Cannot give a best without giving anything away so I'll go with the opposite-I did not like how Tesla was treated yet she put herself in the positions (figuratively).
Great job-each character had their own voice, including the children which can be hard to do.
Yes and I almost did...just stopped for a few hours of sleep! The closer to the end the more suspenseful and interesting it got!
Graphic portrayal of M/F sex as well as F/F (not a fan) and menage tois F/F/M.
I love reading for pleasure and obtaining new insights. Audible is perfect for me /visual issues. Thanks listeners for helpful reviews!
"Modern, sexy Cinderella story"
The kind of story that could be true. It follows the upbeat Tessla through real life situations. Talented narration is easy to listen to.
Tessla. Because she has a life filled with heart break but she powers through. She finally realizes who her family truly is by the power of love.
It's hard to choose a favorite scene.
When she tucked the child in bed upon her return after a lengthy absence
Unexpected ending
""Harlequin" should have been my clue!"
Bought this, thinking I was downloading my book club title (also called Space Between Us but by different author). I was in a hurry and neglected to double-check the author. When I heard the narrator say it was a "Harlequin," I remember thinking it was odd choice for my book club, -- soon realized that the author's attempt at character development and plot just serve to string together a series of explicit sex anecdotes.
Yes. Apparently "Morningstar" = porn.
I did give her 5 stars as the narration was good.
"I need more!"
I am a big Megan Hart fan, and this series is by far, one of my favorites of all time. I love how every book revisits with at least one character from a previous book, and ties all of the stories together. This one is no different. We get to see Johnny D and Em again (and find out that they have had their baby), as well as Joe and Sadie (and imho, an unwelcome reentry of one of Joe's former story subjects), all 4 of which have been some of my favorite characters from the past.
Aside from the blasts from the past, we become more familiar with the Morningstar Mocha coffee shop itself, from behind the scenes. The way that Tesla and Meredith get together is a big tease, i think. But when everything comes out, its not what I was expecting to happen. However, the way that the story unfolds is pretty predictable.
At first, I was pretty fond of Meredith, and somewhat distrustful towards Charlie, but that definitely changed about midway through the story. However, it was inevitable, seeing as how situations like this always flip around. Sometimes people want something so bad, that their selfishness blows up in their own face, as it did with Meredith.
I wish there was more details on the history between Tesla and Vic, because it just feels like there is more to it all, other than what they say. His reasoning between why he didn't want his wife to know about his previous career, and why he seemed so ashamed of it, even though he wanted to get back into it. I would also like to know more about Tesla's brother, Captain. He needs his own book, I think.
Love scenes are pretty hot. as usual, without going overboard. I do wish that more had happened at the sex club though. There was so much potential for things that could have happened, but didn't. I was kind of bored through that part, and had to rewind a couple if times to get through it.
All in all, another great story. Two thumbs up, five stars and all that jazz. Keep it rocking Megan!

Rated 1 out of 5Â by nltrella19 Extremely disappointed... I was super excited when I ordered this item, but when it arrived it was not at all what the pictures portrayed it to be. The fit was great and loved the fabric, but the back of my top was just a couple of slits nothing at all like the cut out and woven intricacies that I expected from what was shown in the pictures. I was highly disappointed because I was all set to wear it out this past weekend. Unfortunately, I sent it back. Is everyone elses top exactly like the ones pictured?? 1.16.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by fpkelsi Ehhhhh I'm putting this as true to size because you can't really expect any decent sizing out of a one size fits all deal. The shirt was okay... I'm 5'4 118 lbs and it's definitely longer on me than on the model. Maybe in a different color this would be nicer, I ordered the black and ended up looking kind of like a witch. If you're looking for a super oversized shirt this is the one for you. Also the sleeves kinda threw me off, there's barely anything for your arm, just a few inches, and if you're only wearing a bra underneath it feels kind of naked. I returned this one. 2.19.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by KATIERAIDER Fun Fun Fun This top is SO FUN and looks wonderful on. I ordered the black after carefully reader the reviews. I am 5'3" and usually an xs in tunic tops and I can say this is a one size that does really fit !! It has a very nice drape and a super flow to it. I wore it with leggings and thigh high boots. It would look great with distressed jeans as well. I can highly recommend this top !!! 1.8.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bamm Love it! This shirt is cute, comfortable & super soft! I love the material of the fabric. I like that I can wear this shirt all summer long! I bought the tie dye! It's not exactly purple, more like a blended purple/gray. Love this shirt! Always happy w/ my FP buys! 7.26.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Cutieonduty54 My favorite top this summer Great top! Sleeves longer than usual but can use bracelets/cuffs for your look.. Shorter in front, not bad; wore leggings which front of top hit below crotch. Also wore it slightly off the shoulders. The back was all the rage!!!!!!!!!! SEXY!!!!!!! Lots of compliments and "were did I get it?" Create your own look and rock it! 6.12.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kikiweasel All the time Love, love, love this top. I have been wearing it all the time! Definitely hangs well off the body and it is made from a great material that doesn't wrinkle. I find that this top can add a dressy pizzazz to any bottom. I have white and just ordered a second in gray. The only aspect I dislike is that the sleeves stretch out easily. I don't like to push them up, but I have to after wearing for a few hours. 1.2.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Awesome Oversized and very roomy, but looks so good on. I was afraid it might swallow me up since I'm only 5'2", but the fabric is so nice it just drapes perfectly. The fabric is midweight and feels very silky smooth. The sleeves are small but very stretchy so you can either leave them lower on your arms or pull them up tighter like the model. This top just begs to be dressed up with a gorgeous necklace or a scarf, but it looks just as good without. I purchased this in black before the white one was put online, and now I'm looking at purchasing the white one, too. 9.21.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ERJU Unsure I just received this top in black today and I haven't decided how I feel about it yet. I like how it fits on me. Usually, loose tops either make me look big in the arm/shoulder area, but this is one of the first loose tops that actually fits me like it fits the model. I don't think this is a top that is "fashionably correct" for spring/summer and I guess that's the main reason why I'm unsure about it. The top can also potentially look more like it's from nastygal.com than freepeople. So, if I find a way to wear this during spring/summer (prob at night) and make it look more boho chic on me than edgy, I'll probably quickly fall in love. Most likely not returning, but will possibly try another color in this top. 4.1.2013

By Lyle Fitzsimmons, Contributing NFL Editor
(SportsNetwork.com) - You think your team has injuries?
Your team doesn't really have injuries.
Now the Chicago Bears, there's a team that's got injuries.
The "Monsters of the Midway" of years past have been reduced to the "Barely Able to Field a Full Team" thus far in 2013, with no fewer than four defensive players on season-ending injured reserve, a pair of other defenders absent for undetermined stretches and a starting quarterback who seems to be available one minute, sidelined the next.
"It just so happens, the injury bug, it has a hold of our team for some reason," said two-time Pro Bowler Charles Tillman, who's among those out for the year with a torn triceps muscle.
Jay Cutler's return from a groin problem became an absence thanks to an ankle issue last week against Detroit, leaving the starting assignment for the Week 11 visit by the Baltimore Ravens to backup Josh McCown, who's been stellar while carrying the load in Cutler's place.
The career journeyman - a third-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals 11 years ago - has compiled a 103.2 passer rating in three appearances, including a start against Green Bay, while throwing four TDs and no interceptions.
He relieved Cutler for the final series last week against Detroit and engineered a touchdown drive that ended with a Brandon Marshall TD reception with 40 seconds left. The Bears still lost, however, falling 21-19 when a two- point conversion attempt failed.
Marshall has clearly clicked with McCown under center, reeling in 14 passes for 246 yards and three touchdowns in the last two games. He's joined in prolific territory by Alshon Jeffery, who's gone beyond 200 yards once and 100 three other times in the last six games.
"We know what Josh can do," center Roberto Garza said. "(The win at Green Bay) was a testament to what his preparation is, and we just got another sample of Josh's ability to lead this team and step into situations like that."
Among other weapons at the substitute's disposal is running back Matt Forte, who's coming off a season-low 33 yards against Detroit but remains seventh in the league with 691 rush yards.
The Ravens are 10th in the league defending the run, allowing yards at a 102.6 per week clip.
Baltimore has lost both its previous trips to Solider Field while not scoring a touchdown - losing 24-3 in 1998 and 10-6 in 2005 - but the Ravens won, 31-7, when the teams last met in Baltimore in 2009. QB
Joe Flacco threw for four TDs in that game, two to Todd Heap and one apiece to Demetrius Williams and Derrick Mason.
Last week, Flacco was uneven as the Ravens built, then lost, a 17-0 lead before rallying again to defeat Cincinnati in overtime, end a three-game skid and pull back into a position of relevance in the AFC playoff picture.
As it stands now, Baltimore is a game behind the sixth-seeded New York Jets for the second wild card slot and 1 1/2 behind the Bengals in the AFC North. The Ravens host the Jets in Week 12 and will visit Cincinnati in the season finale on Dec. 29.
They haven't won two in a row since Sept. 15 and 22, weeks 3 and 4, and had lost three straight before the Bengals game by a combined 11 points.
"They showed the heart of champions (against Cincinnati)," coach John Harbaugh said." Where this will lead us, we'll find out."
In spite of the honeymoon, issues still exist.
Though Ray Rice surpassed the 1,100-yard mark on the ground last season, he's got just 289 so far this year and is averaging just 2.5 per carry. He and Bernard Pierce helped Baltimore amass 85 yards against Cincinnati, but the Ravens are still just 30th in the league with a 73.1-yard average per week and at the bottom with a composite 2.8-yard per carry clip.
"We need to get better with our run game," Harbaugh said. "We gained a few more yards (last week), but that to me is negligible because we're not as a successful as we want to be. Not even close."
Chicago is 31st in the league against the run, allowing 129.4 yards per week.
Through the air, Flacco threw two interceptions last week, fumbled once and was sacked five times for the third game of the last four. On the positive side, he's thrown for seven touchdowns and four INTs in his last four starts.
"(Defeating Cincinnati) can start something," Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb said. "But we can't let this get over our heads, thinking we're something that we're not. We've just got to get back to that film and keep getting better and better and better."
Get the Rice cooking.
Though the battering ram-shaped Rutgers alum is well below his ground-gaining pace of a year ago, he'll likely have an opportunity to ramp up the numbers against a Chicago defense that's exceeded only Jacksonville's when it comes to stopping opposing ball carriers.
If Rice can get closer to his career per-carry average of 4.4 yards than his current 2013 pace of 2.5 yards, the Ravens will be in a good spot.
Take the heat of the sub.
For all his glittering numbers thus far in relief roles, QB McCown is still a backup QB and he'll need some help from his friends in order to have a successful second start.
Forte could play a big role in a bounce-back spot after averaging just 1.95 yards per rush last week against Detroit. A bigger threat from him could open things up for McCown to connect with Marshall and Jeffrey as well.
The "old" Ravens would find a way to win this game. They'd ratchet up the defense, terrorize the substitute quarterback and smother the Bears in front of a frigid home crowd.
But, in spite of last week's win, it doesn't feel like that team still exists. Chicago has more quality offensive weapons, a stout offensive line and the home field. That'll add up to a paradigm-shifting close win.
Sports Network predicted outcome: Bears 22, Ravens 20

Meer, I'm already in the Intermediate section (technically, I should have joined as a beginner but I didn't know the club rules back then). They are proposing I move up to the advanced group containing the professional photographers and members who have been taking photos for donkey's years (the 'bloody brilliant' section)- that's why my ego has been well and truly stroked!

The 1/2" (16 mm) barb elbow X 1/2" MPT is used for connecting the drip lateral with .520 ID to .540 ID (16 mm) to a PVC pipe using a PVC tee with 1/2" FNPT. By using a double barb, the tubing is pushed over the barb for a very tight fit. Use for a layout of drip tubing or drip line.
The Drip Store's black color 1/2" (16 mm) barbed drip fittings are available in a variety of configurations for 1/2" drip line or drip tubing with .520 to .540 (16mm) ID, providing a low cost and simple method for drip line and drip tubing installation.
The 1/2" (16mm) barb fittings are used in the installation of any brand name drip line or drip tubing. To connect the 1/2" (16 mm) drip tubing or drip line, use a hand pruner to cut the drip tubing or drip line, being careful to keep dirt from entering the drip tubing. Insert the barb side of the fitting into the end of the 1/2" drip tubing or drip line by forcing the drip tubing over the barb side.

Last weekend I had a bad crash.
Last weekend I had a bad crash.
I would not have been able to write this text for you to read if it wasn't for my helmet. My lovely helmet did not quite survive the crash but it sure protected me as it was supposed to do. More to that and the damages later on.
It was on Friday the 26th of October that I crashed. When I woke up that day it was a beautiful morning and I had a great night's sleep. I study to be a mechanical engineer at Uppsala University, which is located about 600km's from home, and I was home for the weekend after one of my exams.
I arrived home in Gothenburg the day before the accident.
I had some things to do with my bike before it was ready to ride, such as fitting a new kick starter and a new side stand bolt. The repairs didn't take me long and I also greased up the chain as well as all the joints in suspension etc, you know the small regular maintenance. When finished it was time for a warm up ride, which took me deep into the forests and then out in the streets of the central area of Gothenburg. I enjoyed this great view over the city, a view I had not seen in a while.
At about three o'clock I rode to my old job where my father also works. He had his bike with him as we had planned this for quite some time. We took off north to a place called Svartedalen which offers kilometer after kilometer of gravel roads. We spent a couple of hours there and the riding went smoothly. It was a nice ride and my riding skills seemed to be where I had left them.
Now back to the day of the crash. It was a beautiful morning indeed, not too cold and not wet all. I ate some breakfast and geared up before taking off at approximately 10am. The plan was to head south, way south. About 140-150 kilometers along the coast down south to a place called Laholm where one is allowed to ride on the beach. I was supposed to meet up with a friend who recently got an old, yet in immaculate condition, Yamaha teneré there but my plans changed when I came to Borås. The sky went black and the rain was starting to pour down. I took a quick decision not to continue and turned back to Alingsås to meet up with my girlfriend and enjoy the great weather there. The time was now around noon.
Between Borås and Alingsås is a country road which offers endless of slip roads which turn into small gravel roads that usually don't lead into nothing. I knew my girlfriend wasn't home yet so it meant there was some time to kill. I rode perhaps five or ten of these roads before stopping and taking a couple of pictures.
Bike took a small nap.
Here I took my first fall.. I ignored a very important rule; do not use your front brake on wet grass, ever. But both me and the bike was fine. I heard some strange noises in the woods nearby so I took off again, I think it was a moose that got upset by the sound of bike or something..
After the first small crash I decided to take it a bit slower and not to cross the line again. Worth to mention is that I had a bit too much self-confidence since the day before. I explored a couple more of the previously mentioned gravel roads. And then I found one that was very twisty and hilly. It was so fun I decided to speed up a little, just to get a better flow in the turns when power sliding around them.
It was just an ordinary turn. Nothing special, nothing hard. I had just let off the throttle to slow down before the turn and when I was about to hit the gas again, to get my rear wheel spinning, something happened. My courage disappeared and my mind went blank. I understood within a second that this ain't happening, no way in hell I could take that turn. I started focus on my escape route, it didn't look good. I saw a small tree and stub ahead, so I decided to steer between them. Just as I left the road and went out in the bush I discovered the ditch. I had not seen it and now it was too late. The front wheel disappeared and I went over the bars and then slammed into a big stone. My shoulder took the first hit and then my head.
When I heard the helmet crack I knew this wasn't good. I've fallen before, several times, but it had never been serious. The first thing I could think of was how damn cold it was lying in that ditch next to the stone. The ditch was all filled with cold water from this autumn's damn rain and then I felt the smell of gasoline. I managed to get out of the ditch and discovered my bike a few meters away, it was upside down and was leaking fuel. I sat down on the road calling my girlfriend to tell her I had a fall. I started having a real bad headache but had not yet discovered the pain in my shoulder. I told her my estimated location, which I can tell you wasn't very accurate, just in case I'd pass out or something. After hanging up I focused to get my bike out. The first attempt of lifting the bike made me realize that my shoulder was a mess. I suppose the adrenaline started to go away.. The pain was intense.
I snapped a photo of the bike, I apologize for the blurriness but I wasn't really prioritizing a good picture before getting out of there..
It took me half an hour to get the bike up. Remember the thing I said about water in the ditch and the bike leaking fuel? I learned that day that water together with gasoline gets really, really, slippery. I tried to drag it up but it was impossible, so I figured I could push it all the way down the ditch and start it and then ride it out along the ditch. It worked.
I was barely able to drive the bike but I managed to get all the way back to Alingsås. I went straight to the hospital when arriving. After a couple of hours in the E.R, which was extremely crowded, I got to the x-ray waiting room that was empty.
I snapped a picture there as well while waiting, it was nice to be in a calmer room after being in the E.R.
I got out of the hospital sometime around dinner time, with due to the circumstances good news. Nothing broken but severe muscle damage in the shoulder, a small crack in the collar bone and a slight concussion. In some strange way all I could think of was food. I hadn't eaten since breakfast!
I really enjoyed the great dinner I had with my girlfriend and her family in Alingsås later that night. It was not until I got to bed that night that it struck me, my helmet saved my life today. I've been asked to quit riding from my family and friends now, but they now it and I know it, that's not going to happen. I have for sure learned my lesson from this and I won't be able to ride until sometime next year. But I can't stop riding my bike.
Last weekend I had a bad crash, but that's not going to ruin my next ride. Whenever that is going to be.
I think recovery is going to be hard. Real hard.

This is the one I used. An Uvex Enduro. I think it's a really good helmet and I will order a new one! I have noticed that they come in several different colors now... Just have to pick my new favourite! Regarding the damage, it's still in one piece but the right side of it has a few cracks and scratches.

From the looks of that picture your shoulder has all necessary functions. Anything beyond ensuring your supply of beer won't be hindered is bonus, right?

Glad you're okay. It is scary to think of being injured in the woods, all alone. You must have a very high tolerance for pain to have gotten your bike out of that ditch and ridden to the hospital!
Don't hold me in suspense, You said you'd learned your lesson but you didn't say what the lesson was. Any pearls of wisdom?

Oh, and regarding the beers.. I have plenty to keep me satisfied after long days in school
edit: don't want to sound cocky or anything.. but I think it's the reason why it all went as it did. Sure, I could have gone slower into the corner.. But my aim is to master the gravel techniques and you don't do that at a slow pace, unfortunately.

Just happened upon this thread. I'm happy to see you're well, and will be riding again with warm weather.
Which brings up my questions. I'm in Uppsala on a visiting professorship at SLU, about done for now, but return again in May / June, and continuing to return for a few years. So, I need riding in Usspala area. And, my bikes in the USA. ADV biker scene in Uppsala? Bike rentals?
End hijack. Get well.

Anyway, I know that there's a group of people that arrange meetings and rides here.. Just can't remember their name now. I am a member of a group (on facebook that is..) called "Adventureriders Sweden" which is a closed group, but if you wan't I can invite you to that group. That might open up a couple of possibilities for you to meet people.
Regarding rentals, I don't think there is such a thing anywhere around here.. Best case scenario might be a scooter in Stockholm.

Me too!
Was riding on the outer edge of some railroad tracks and because I was going too slow I got the front tire to hit wrong and fell over to the left where there was a huge ident in the side road causing me to fall about 10 feet down.
I landed on all the rocks typically found along side of railroad tracks...with the tires facing the sky and the bike on one leg. Glad I had on my helmet or I would have kissed those rocks pretty hard (based on the gouges in my helmet).
Took me a while to drag the bike back so I could grab it and turn it over. Broke the clutch lever and all the plastic on the left side is marked up too.
Got her started and rode on down the tracks to where I was going. That's when I realized how much pain I was in.
Got the xray back and my hand isn't broken, but I got some great pain pills for it. Replaced clutch lever, did oil change and am ready for my next trip.

Eisenhower Surgeon Helps Ironman Champion Stay on Top of Her Sport
Her most recent win, in fact, was this past October at the renowned Kona Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. She was one of nearly 1,800 athletes who swam 2.4 miles, biked 112 miles and ran 26.2 miles — a full marathon — along the rugged Kona coast. It's a remarkable demonstration of physical and mental endurance, and one that can take a toll on a person's body at any age. Yet Gruenfeld did it just one year after a bike crash injury forced her to miss the 2011 competition.
"It's really nice to have somebody who understands what we do," she says, referring to athletes like herself. "The first time I walked in the door, both Dr. O'Connell and his Physician Assistant Andrew Allen, PA-C, took me seriously. They understand that I want to get back in the game as quickly as possible and be 100 percent when I get there."
"That experience revealed her to be a pretty intense athlete," he adds, with masterful understatement.
In July of 2011, however, Gruenfeld had another bike accident, severely fracturing her left clavicle (collarbone). "We took her into surgery and did an internal fixation with a customized titanium plate and multiple screws," Dr. O'Connell relates. "To help her heal faster, we also did a bone graft and injected platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate healing."
"I thought that was terrific," remembers Gruenfeld. Because the doctors had allowed her to resume using her arm right away, however, her clavicle hadn't healed into good, strong bone.
"I expected Dr. O'Connell to tell me that I could go back to training and competing, but he had a serious talk with me and told me I was going to have to stay quiet and let my body heal for the remainder of 2011," she says.
"I'm not very happy when I can't do what I want to do, but I trust Dr. O'Connell, and I think he trusts me," continues Gruenfeld. "He knows that I'll push to the edge of the envelope, but when he tells me not to go over the edge, I won't."
"She's an excellent patient and the ultimate in motivation," responds Dr. O'Connell. "And that's what makes the best patients — they're on a mission to get better and return to the activity they love.
"Athletes like Cherie are human; their bones, muscles and tendons heal at the same rate as anyone else's," he continues. "The difference is in how intensely they rehabilitate. If you're tentative about physical therapy, you're probably not pushing the body hard enough to regain function. Cherie has the drive, determination and motivation to push herself. She's the epitome of a committed patient."
"I really love to race, compete and have the opportunity to win. I'm successful, so why wouldn't I be motivated?" she says. "On that day in October in Kona when I crossed the finish line, there was a sense of accomplishment and gratification like no other. A wave came over me and I thought, holy cow, all those hours I spent training for this moment."
"That was a sad day when I couldn't do Kona in 2011, but I knew Dr. O'Connell was right," says Gruenfeld. "When I came back, I had a completely undefeated season, testament that he was right — and we did it together."
An injury may occasionally sideline her from competition, but Cherie Gruenfeld never stops putting herself out there to help kids have a better life. In 2000, she created Exceeding Expectations (www.eefoundation.org), a nonprofit organization supported entirely by private donations that helps to redirect the lives of at-risk inner-city kids in San Bernardino using the sport of triathlon. The objective is not to turn them into athletes, but to teach them how to set goals and work hard to achieve them.
"When I say it's hard work and tell them what they have to do, they don't question it because they see what I do," she says. "So it's important that I can do this for as long as I can do it well."

Pumpkin Picking!!!! I love October.
Pieces of fabric…ready to be sewn together.
Painting things Pink…or "Watermelon" to be exact.
And Pressing Pink Polka-dots for Sophie's curtains. They are turning out so cute.
Punch Cards…these have been the best thing for my kids and me. No more stickers and charts to mess with…they get punches for chores and for being especially kind to one another.
Usually they trade them in once a week for a special treat or a dollar. But this month they saved up their punch cards for a trip to Chuck-E-Cheese….yipee.
So I'm on my way to Chuck-E-Cheese…luckily they have a diet coke dispenser or I'd die.

A pair of "island" areas with natural longleaf pine ecosystems were recently discovered among the park's wetlands, and city officials want to showcase them with a new set of boardwalks to provide access to the area.
"What's really important about the two boardwalks is there are two islands out there with mature longleafs," said parks resource officer Dale Colby. "Our hope is to take kids out here and show them what a natural longleaf and wiregrass ecosystem looks like."

When the Doctor Says Cancer [1]
Listen to the Cancer.Net Podcast: When the Doctor Says Cancer [3], adapted from this content.
Watch the Cancer.Net Video: When the Doctor Says Cancer, with Maurie Markman, MD [4], adapted from this content.
Key Messages
- After a cancer diagnosis, it is important to take care of yourself as you begin to cope with this news.
- Start learning about your disease by asking your health care team questions and reading information from trustworthy sources.
- Find a doctor who specializes in treating your type of cancer.
- Seek the support of others, and find outlets to express your feelings.
It is a situation people often fear—sitting in the doctor's office and hearing the word cancer. People diagnosed with cancer often say they were stunned when they heard the news and unable to process much that was said afterward. After the initial shock, consider the following steps to learn about your diagnosis, find treatment, and cope.
Learn about your diagnosis
Cancer is a group of more than 100 diseases, so it is important to understand your specific type of cancer or cancer-related syndrome [5], including the process of diagnosing and treating it. This enables you to take an active role in your cancer care by asking appropriate questions, accessing resources, and making informed treatment decisions.
During your initial doctor's visit, you may struggle to process the amount of information you receive, and unfamiliar medical language may confuse you. Ask your doctor to explain any medical terms [6] you don't understand. And don't be afraid to ask questions [7].
Also consider bringing a family member or a friend to your appointments to help listen and take notes. Or use a recorder during the visit, which allows you to capture information that you can replay in the future.
Some patients desire more information, while others prefer less. For example, some want to avoid hearing statistics about chances of survival. Tell your doctor and other members of your health care team your preferences for receiving information about your diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis (chance of recovery).
Meanwhile, the Internet is a useful tool for finding information about cancer. However, because Internet content is not regulated, you need to use good judgment when searching online. Find questions to ask when viewing cancer information websites [8].
Find medical care
After receiving a cancer diagnosis, it is important find an oncologist—a doctor who specializes in treating people with cancer. Ask your primary care doctor, family members, and friends for referrals. Or search online [9] to find an oncologist in your area.
Also consider getting a second opinion [10]. This involves visiting another doctor to gather more information about your diagnosis and the available treatment options, which increases your confidence in making decisions about your cancer care. A second opinion is a standard practice in medical care. In fact, many doctors encourage their patients to seek a second opinion.
Meanwhile, ask your doctor what clinical trials [11] are available as treatment options for your type of cancer. A clinical trial is a research study to test a new treatment to evaluate whether it is safe, effective, and possibly better than standard treatment.
Get organized
As you gather information, make appointments, receive test results, collect records, and track insurance coverage and finances, you will need a system to manage it all. Organization helps you gain control over your schedule and information, allowing you to receive the most value from the time spent with your health care providers and make well-informed decisions.
If you have a smartphone or tablet, you may want to download Cancer.Net's free mobile app [12] to help you stay organized. It provides portable cancer information, tracks side effects, saves prescription information, and records answers to a personalized list of questions.
Find support to cope with challenges
It is important to remember that you are not alone as you cope with your cancer diagnosis and treatment [13]. Find support from family, friends, and community resources to manage emotional, practical, and financial issues.
Emotional support. You may experience complex emotions while processing the news of a cancer diagnosis and undergoing treatment. In addition to communicating with your doctor, talk about your concerns with family members and friends. You may consider joining a support group [14], which allows you to share your experience and learn from others who are facing similar situations.
Counselors [15] are another source of support to process difficult emotions. Discouragement and fear are not uncommon in people diagnosed with cancer. However, if you aren't participating in your normal activities or are having difficulty concentrating, sleeping, or eating, tell your doctor and ask about counseling options.
Other outlets to express your emotions and relieve stress include writing in a journal [16]; doing creative projects, such as painting; praying; reading; and meditating.
Practical support. As you experience challenges associated with cancer and cancer treatment, you may wonder how you can manage your normal responsibilities, including work [17] and parenting [18]. This is the time to accept help from others, take advantage of available conveniences, and reevaluate your priorities.
Financial support. The cost of cancer care can be high, and these costs may be a burden for some people. It is important to talk openly with your health care team about the costs of your care soon after diagnosis. Understanding what costs to expect before starting treatment can help you manage the financial impact of cancer in the most effective way possible. Learn more about managing the cost of cancer care [19], including financial resources [20].
Put your diagnosis in perspective
Although cancer is a serious disease, you have reasons to be hopeful. In the past several decades, major milestones have been reached in the care and treatment of people with cancer, including advances in treatment and supportive care for side effects.

Coach Mike Tomlin – 11-14Posted by on November 14, 2012 – 8:34 pm
Coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media following Wednesday's practice regarding Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich.
Re: Making the decision to start Byron Leftwich:
We always lean on the expert advice of our medical staff. They didn't think it was safe for him to play. Obviously, we are going with Leftwich.
Re: Ben Roethlisberger having an additional rib injury:
To my knowledge the injuries are one in the same. I don't get into explicit details with you guys. I think they are connected. I don't have a skeleton in front of me.
Do you have any sort of timeline for Roethlisberger's return?
I live in the present. He is out this week.
Does the offense change with Leftwich?
Just to lean on his strengths and minimize his weaknesses. It's not anything complex.
Re: His strengths:
He is a veteran guy. This isn't his first rodeo. He has good, charismatic leadership. He can make all the throws on the field. We expect winning football from him.
Are you confident Roethlisberger will play again this year?
[Laughs] Next question.
Will you run the ball more this week?
We are going to do what is required for us to win the football game.
Are the mistakes you made last week in the run game correctable?
Any update on Ryan Clark?
I am just talking about Ben.
Re: Comfort in knowing you have succeeded in the past without Roethlisberger:
I am not looking for comfort. I am looking for results. We are going to prepare and play the football game.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Deedee from Perfect Summer Socks These are my favorite summertime socks. I wear them with flats and clogs. I don't like going sock-less or wearing socks that are hidden in my shoes. These are the perfect solution. They are soft, lightweight and pretty and add a sweet and elegant touch. They are exquisitely made, excelling quality, and surprisingly durable. When I am traveling, I wash them by hand and they dry very quickly. I have them in two colors and plan to get them all!

My AOL dialup or broadband connection drops when I connect to the VPN, or doesn't connect at all. What can I do?
The VPN client will not work with AOL dialup or AOL Broadband services. When connected to the VPN via AOL dialup service, the VPN client disconnects after a few seconds. This happens because of a "connection keep-alive" sent by AOL. When connected to the VPN, the AOL server doesn't recognize that the connection is now being sent through the VPN, and is lead to believe that the machine is no longer connected to its network. Since it no longer sees the client, it disconnects the session. This is expected behavior from AOL connected clients. AOL does not claim to provide any support for VPN on their infrastructure.
Solution: Use a different ISP if you need to connect to the UC Berkeley VPN.
I used VPN, then forgot to disconnect it. Is this a problem?
No, but while your VPN was connected, all your Internet traffic passed through the UC Berkeley VPN server. This slowed down your connection to Internet resources that did not require use of the VPN. The VPN software will "time out" after 30 minutes of no activity, but we recommend disconnecting it when you are finished with your session.
How long can I stay connected via VPN?
The VPN will automatically disconnect after your Internet connection is inactive for 30 minutes.
How do I remove the Library proxy from my browser?
If you have graduated, or are otherwise no longer affilliated with UC Berkeley, but continue to be prompted for your CalNet ID when trying to access certain online resources, you may need to remove the proxy server from your browser settings.
To turn off the UC Berkeley Library proxy:
- Select the setup instructions for your browser and operating system from the Library Proxy Server page.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the instructions and look for the heading, To turn off this setting.
- Follow the steps there to reset your browser to no longer use the UC Berkeley Library Proxy Server.
I tried to uninstall the VPN but it didn't work. What should I do?
Unfortunately this can happen for a number of reasons. Please contact the help services listed below.
Students: visit the Student Computer Consulting Service; you can make an appointment online.
Faculty and Staff: contact the IST Service Desk: email@example.com; 510-664-9000, option 1, option 1, option 1
Mon-Fri 9am-5pm.
Where can I find University of California employee salaries?
The Sacramento Bee maintains an online database of California state worker salaries. You can search for employee salaries from the last five years by employee name and department. To find salaries from the University of California Berkeley, for example, select UC Berkeley from the department dropdown list. The University of California Office of the President also maintains a public record of UC employee pay. You can search the UCOP database by pay range and job title as well as employee name and campus. For more information, check out the Compensation at the University of California website.
You can also ask at the Doe Reference Desk to view CD-ROMs of University of California salary information from 2005 to 2009 in Access, Excel and/or PDF format. (The Library will not collect salary data from 2010 to present given its availability via the UCOP site above.) These CD-ROMs are not available to check out but can be used on a computer in Doe 202, and the read-only files can be saved to external media (such as flash drive or a CDR) in an editable format.
I still have a question about VPN. What should I do?
If your question is about installing, or running VPN:
- Students: visit the Student Computer Consulting Service; you can make an appointment online.
- Faculty and Staff: contact the IST Service Desk
- email@example.com
- 510-664-9000, option 1, option 1, option 1
Mon-Fri 9am-5pm
If your question is about accessing library resources:
- Contact the Library via the Library Web Comment Form
For more information about VPN:
Why does the proxy server reject my username and password?
If you are getting prompted over and over again to enter your username and password, make sure you're using the right username and password!
If you are logging in with a CalNet ID:
- Make sure that the "Caps Lock" key on your keyboard is not in effect.
- Test whether your CalNet ID is still valid and log in.
- Note: To protect your privacy on a shared computer, quit the web browser when your session is finished.
If you are logging in with a library PIN:
- Make sure that you are using the number printed on your current UCB Library Card or Cal 1 Card.
- If needed, reset your PIN by clicking on the "Forgot your PIN or don't have a PIN?" link on the Login to My OskiCat screen.
- Make sure that the email address is the one associated with your Library account. If you're not sure which email address you use for this purpose, log into My OskiCat and use the address displayed there.
If your username and password were accepted but you see a message such as "Proxy authorization failed", your Library privileges may have expired or your affiliation with UC Berkeley may not warrant access to the proxy server.
Only UC Berkeley students, faculty and staff, and some other individuals affiliated with the University, are eligible to use the proxy server. If you have questions concerning your eligibility for Library services, please contact the Privileges Desk in Doe Library (510-642-3403).
I followed the setup instructions, why haven't my configuration changes taken effect?
- Be sure you have followed the configuration instructions exactly. Check to make sure you have entered the correct "automatic proxy configuration" URL into your browser settings:
- Be sure there are no spaces or extra characters to the left or right of the URL.
- Before closing the configuration dialog box, be sure to click the OK, Apply now, or Reload button if provided.
- Be sure you are using a browser that supports Automatic Proxy Configuration.
On a Macintosh, no version of Internet Explorer supports Automatic Proxy Configuration. Use Firefox, Safari, Mozilla, or Netscape for this purpose.
AOL's browser (a highly customized version of Internet Explorer), will not work with the proxy server. Use a different browser instead.
- Make sure that cookies are enabled in the browser.
