Firstly, I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong section of this forum... I think this will be only my third post here? Also, for all I know this may not even be the most fitting site for me to be posting this at... and if this is the case I apologize. I had surfed around here several years ago and liked what I saw, so I came back seeking help with these questions...
Warning: I type a lot, lol.
1. I used to feel very... connected?... to things beyond the average senses. I would hear, see, feel, and smell things that others didn't or couldn't... things I never quite understood. But they always felt important or meaningful. If I had to put labels to the things I experienced, I might mention ghosts, shadow people, even incubi. I used to dream vividly every night, too, often (but not always) feeling that there was some meaning I was meant to be taking from them, though I never managed to figure it out, so I don't know how much weight to give those dreams. They often manifested as "nightmares", too, in which I would witness horrible things happening to other people, and then wake up feeling like I was supposed to learn something, or do something, related to what I saw.
This all ended about five years ago, right around the time when I started taking antidepressants. My dreams have become less frequent and less vivid, and the "nightmares" stopped completely, suddenly. They just... ended. I haven't witnessed anything in my waking hours since then, either. No more "shadow people". No more whispering in the walls. Nothing...
And lately I've begun to wonder... is it because of the antidepressants? Did they shut down that part of my senses, somehow? Or was it all in my head, and they just brought me back to reality...? I miss all the things I had before (except, you know, for the depression, ha!). I even miss the nightmares. I felt more... open. Now I feel kind of empty and closed down. Happier, but... empty.
Has anyone gone through anything like this? If my experiences weren't just my imagination, can it be that I might recover that part of my senses once I'm done on the medication? (Don't worry, this is not the primary factor in my deciding to go off of them; I'm just done with them. They served their purpose, and it's time for me to try standing on my own two feet again.) In the past several months I've developed a sense of despair that I may never encounter these "other" beings/happenings again.
I guess what I'm asking is: Is this something that can be lost, and then regained? (If I ever had it...)
2. Focusing in on shadow people. To me, and some friends who have seen them too, they haven't seemed entirely malevolent. To me, they seemed neutral at worst. To my friends, they've been mostly... not unkind, as far as we can tell, and the few times they've frightened them, they said it seemed like it could have been a misunderstanding... that is, the shadow people didn't MEAN to frighten them, they were just trying to communicate, perhaps. But I read a lot about people saying they are 100% evil and not to be interacted with if one can help it. I'm not going to run around saying this is wrong... but it always seemed to me that shadow people can be as varied in intent as we humans can be.
3. Incubi. Potentially real, or just particularly invasive encounters with more "common" entities?
Thanks for any response... until recently I didn't have anyone in my life who acknowledged what I felt or experienced. Mostly I was told I was imagining things. So I've always been really discouraged about things like this... everything felt incredibly real or truthful or meaningful to me, but I've had self-doubt so driven into me that... I don't know. I'm hoping to find a community somewhere that I might fit into... someday.
Several questions

Medication I feel numbs the sences. It takes your mind to another place. When we feel see and hear things we should try to pay attention to the smells sights and feeling of such things. In all if anyone has had experiences as a child and then as they grow things begin to not happen. Or you loose the conection that you once had. A childs mind is open to more things because all that comes to them is not explained away and it's almost as if we have this ability to see hear and feel these things because nothing has taken these experiences from you with someone logical take of the matter. As a child its as if there is a open door to them. Like lifes energy are open to them because they are learning and wanting life experiences like the fairtale one has hopes for. Know that meds can put your mind and body in a fog. Many want to be fogged over too forget what they had or could have because many diss-believe what could be around the corned isn't as seemed because they loose that touch from their past. In all it is up to the person to accept these matters or never look back. In all some may need medication. So I never tell someone not to take it. I just explain that it is all in the eye of the beholder. And you hold all that you know and have learned. In some cases some don't want to know or refuse it. In all life has many things we can't grasp. But just because you can have the truth doesn't mean it can't be uncovered. In all meds will cloud what once was. And in this it is your choice to see through the fog. Yes things can be lost. But they are not lost forever. They are a part of you and if somone wants to see they will. Will is a strong thing. It's your choice to put the first foot forward and keep an open mind heart and soul for wehat your hearts desires. Bless you on this matter. All is not lost.

I don't know about anti depressants causing a numbing effect, as a registered nurse I do know that with most anti depressants you should never go off them cold turkey. Doing this can cause a overwhelming sense of despair, and worse it will cause epilecttic seizures these start out small petit mals, which feel like a strange brain hiccup (hard to explain unless you've had them but they happen more frequently and closer together the longer you stay off the medication. This will lead to a grand mal, a very serious seizure and this type od seizure can lead to status epilictus which is life threatening. My advice and yes I am not just speaking as a nurse but someone who is on an antidepressant if you want to go off the medication you need to slowly wean your self off by lowering the dose weekly until your down to 0. Most of us that are on the SSRI antidepressants is because for whatever reason our brains do not make enough serotonin a vital brain chemical that effects mood, sleep, and even perception. It is no different than a diabetic needing insulin because their bodies are unable to make enough insulin. We are just beginning to accept that people with depression have a valid illness and not a personality issue. If you have the gift of extra perception you need to work on exercising it just as an athlete exercises their body you need to exercise your brain and as an athlete provides their body's wwith what they need you should consider that your brain works better with the optimum level of seritonin and maybe you won't see those dark negative things.
Posted 24 June 2012 - 08:31 PM
This isn't exactly the same thing, but I used to astral project a lot more before I started taking antidepressants. Before, it was alway spontaneous, and after I started taking them, it completely stopped. My sleep paralysis stopped too. But then one day I was taking a nap, and I felt the familiar tingly feeling and astral projected. After that, as long as I recognized the feeling, I could do it again. Do you meditate? If not, it might be something you want to try out.

Binary options turbo trading for beginners
We have close to a thousand articles and reviews to guide you to be a more profitable trader in no matter what your current experience level is.
Read on to get started trading today! The time span can be as little as 60 seconds, making it possible to trade hundreds of times per day across any global market. This makes risk management and trading decisions much more simple. The risk and reward is known in advance and this structured payoff is one of the attractions.
Exchange traded binaries are also now available, meaning traders are not trading against the broker. To binary options turbo trading for beginners started trading you first binary options turbo trading for beginners a regulated broker account or licensed.
Pick one from the recommended brokers listwhere only brokers that have shown themselves to be trustworthy are included. The top broker has been selected as the best choice for most traders. These videos will introduce you to the concept of binary options and how trading works. If you want to know even more details, please read this whole page and follow the links to all the more in-depth articles. There are however, different types of option.
Here are some of the types available:. Options fraud has been a significant problem in the past. Fraudulent and unlicensed operators exploited binary options as a new exotic derivative. These firms are thankfully disappearing as regulators have finally begun to act, but traders still need to look for regulated brokers.
Here are some shortcuts to pages that can help you determine which broker is right for you:. The number and diversity of assets you can trade varies from broker to broker. Commodities including gold, silver, oil are also generally offered. Individual stocks and equities are also tradable through many binary brokers. These lists are growing all the time as demand dictates. The asset lists are always listed clearly on every trading platform, and most brokers make their full asset lists available on their website.
Full asset list information is also available within our reviews. The expiry time is the point at which a trade is closed and settled. The expiry for any given trade can range from 30 seconds, up to a year.
While binaries initially started with very short expiries, demand has ensured there is now a broad range of expiry times available. Some brokers even give traders the flexibility to set their binary options turbo trading for beginners specific expiry time.
While slow to react to binary options initially, regulators around the world are now starting to regulate the industry and make their presence felt. The major regulators currently include:. There are also regulators operating in Malta and the Isle of Man. Many other authorities are now taking a keen a interest in binaries specifically, notably in Europe where domestic regulators are keen to bolster the CySec regulation.
Unregulated brokers still binary options turbo trading for beginners, and while some are trustworthy, a lack of regulation is a clear warning sign for potential new customers. We have a lot of detailed guides and strategy articles for both general education and specialized trading techniques. From Martingale to Rainbow, you can find plenty more on the strategy page. For further reading on signals and reviews of different services go to the signals page. If you are totally new to the trading scene then watch this great video by Professor Shiller of Yale University who introduces the main ideas of options:.
In addition, the price targets are key levels that the trader sets as benchmarks to determine outcomes. We will see the application of price targets when we explain the different types.
Expiry times can be as low as 5 minutes. How does it work? First, the trader sets two price targets to form a price range. If you are familiar with pivot points in forex, then you should be able to trade this type.
This type binary options turbo trading for beginners predicated on the price action touching a price barrier or not. If the price action does not touch the price target the strike price before expiry, the trade will end up as a binary options turbo trading for beginners. Here you are betting on the price action of the underlying asset not touching the strike price before the expiration. Here the trader can set two price targets and purchase a contract that bets on the price touching both targets before expiration Double Touch or not touching both targets before expiration Double No Touch.
Normally you would only employ the Double Touch trade when there is intense market volatility and prices are expected to take out several price levels. Some brokers offer all three types, while others offer two, and there are those that offer only one variety. In addition, some brokers also put restrictions on how expiration dates are set. In order to get the best of the different types, traders are advised to shop around for brokers who will give them maximum flexibility in terms of types and expiration times that can be set.
Most trading platforms have been designed with mobile device users in mind. So the mobile version will be very similar, if not the same, as the full web version on the traditional websites. Brokers will cater for both iOS and Android devices, and produce versions for each.
Downloads are quick, and traders can sign up via the mobile site as well. Our reviews contain more detail about each binary options turbo trading for beginners mobile app, but most are fully aware that this is a growing area of trading. Traders want to react immediately to news events and market updates, so brokers provide the tools for clients to trade wherever they are. So, in short, they are a form of fixed return financial options.
Call and Put are simply the terms given to buying or selling binary options turbo trading for beginners option. As a financial investment tool they in themselves not a scam, but there are brokers, trading robots and signal providers that are untrustworthy and dishonest. Our forum is a great place to raise awareness of any wrongdoing. Binary trading strategies binary options turbo trading for beginners unique to each binary options turbo trading for beginners.
Money management is essential to ensure risk management is applied to all trading. Different styles will suit different traders and strategies will also evolve and change. Traders need to ask questions of binary options turbo trading for beginners investing aims and risk appetite and then learn what works for them.
Binary options can be used to gamble, but they can also be used to make trades based on value and expected profits. So the answer binary options turbo trading for beginners the question will come down to the trader. If you have traded forex or its more volatile cousins, crude oil or spot metals such as gold or silver, you will have probably learnt one thing: Things like leverage and margin, news events, slippages and price re-quotes, etc can all affect a trade negatively.
The situation is different in binary options trading. There is no leverage to binary options turbo trading for beginners with, and phenomena such as slippage and price re-quotes have no effect on binary option trade outcomes.
This reduces the risk in binary option trading to the barest minimum. The binary options market allows traders to trade financial instruments spread across the currency and commodity markets as well as indices and bonds. This flexibility is unparalleled, and gives traders with the knowledge of how to trade these markets, a one-stop shop to trade all these instruments.
A binary trade outcome is based on just one parameter: The trader is essentially betting on whether a financial asset will end up in a particular direction. In addition, the trader is at liberty to determine when the trade ends, by setting an expiry date.
This gives a trade that initially started badly the opportunity to end well. This is not the case with other markets. For example, control of losses can only be achieved using a stop loss. Otherwise, a trader has to endure a drawdown if a trade takes an adverse turn in order to give it room to turn profitable.
The simple point being made here is that in binary options, the trader has less to worry about than if he were to trade other markets. Traders have better control of trades in binaries. For example, if a trader wants to buy a contract, he knows in advance, what he stands to gain and what he will lose if the trade is out-of-the-money.
For example, when a binary options turbo trading for beginners sets a pending order in the forex market to trade a high-impact news event, there is no assurance that his trade will be filled at the entry price or that a losing trade will be closed out at the exit stop loss. The payouts per trade are usually higher in binaries than with other forms of trading.
This is achievable without jeopardising the account. In other markets, such payouts can only occur if a trader disregards all rules of money management and exposes a large amount of trading capital to the market, hoping for one big payout which never occurs in most cases. In order to binary options turbo trading for beginners the highly volatile forex or commodities markets, a trader has to have a reasonable amount of money as trading capital. For instance, trading gold, a commodity with an intra-day volatility of up to 10, pips in times of high volatility, requires trading capital in tens of thousands of dollars.
The payouts for binary options trades are drastically reduced when the odds for that trade succeeding are very high. Of course in such situations, the trades are more unpredictable. Experienced traders can get around this by sourcing for these tools elsewhere; inexperienced traders who are new to the market are not as fortunate. This is changing for the better though, as operators mature and become aware of the need for these tools to attract traders.
Unlike in forex where traders can get accounts that allow them to trade mini- and micro-lots on small account sizes, many binary option brokers set a trading binary options turbo trading for beginners minimum amounts which a trader can trade in the market.
This makes it easier to lose too much capital when trading binaries. In this situation, four losing trades will blow the account. When trading a market like the forex or commodities market, it is possible to close a trade with minimal losses and open another profitable one, if a repeat analysis of the trade reveals the first trade to have been a mistake. Where binaries are traded on an exchange, this is mitigated however.
Spot binary options turbo trading for beginners traders might overlook time as a factor in their trading which is a very very big mistake.

I don't really see the point in trading Doug. Important part of the rotation IMO, an if someone were to go down, we need that depth. He is also comes on the cheap. I guess a 2nd or 3rd round pick would be 'worth more', anything less and I'd be scratching my head.

Hacker's information
Following section documents some additional technical detail on LS-CHL(v2).
Hacking LS-CHL is dangerous and may potentially brick your device, void your warranty, damage your data. Do it at your own risk.
Das U-boot is the bootloader used in LS-CHL device, as well as all other recent Buffalo products. U-boot is stored on the device flash ROM. It is the ONLY thing in flash. A file copy of U-boot is also present on the hard disk's first partition (/dev/sda1) in a file named u-boot.buffalo.
This page, although focused on older Linkstations, documents some U-Boot features that are specific to Buffalo products. Note that LS-CHL's stock U-Boot does not include the network monitor, so it is not possible to control the boot sequence as described there.
Apart from normal system boot, the stock U-boot implements a system emergency recovery that is activated when a bootable system is not found on the hard disk.
Linux Kernel
Stock U-Boot loads the Linux kernel from a file named uImage.buffalo on the hard disk first partition (/dev/sda1).
The initrd (initial ramdisk)
Buffalo's stock U-Boot tries to load the initrd from a file named initrd.buffalo on the hard disk's first partition (/dev/sda1). The stock initrd implements Buffalo-specific system sanity checks, system recovery procedures and firmware update tasks.
This page documents how to alter the initrd.
The initrd is not an absolute system requirement. Providing an empty initrd.buffalo cause the system to boot straight with /dev/sda2 as the root filesystem. This is the key to start a different GNU/Linux system from the stock one. Note that "empty initrd" does not mean an empty file: rather, it means an initrd which contains and empty filesystem. [1] shows how to create one.
Installing Debian Linux
It's possible to install Debian on the device successfully:
- Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) instructions.
- Debian Squeeze (Debian 6.0) instructions.
- Debian Wheezy (Debian 7.0): It may be possible to install this using relatively minor variations on the Squeeze instructions.
How to get Telnet access?
According to responses of LS-CHLv2 owner Open Stock Firmware LS-XHL covers the LS-CHLv2 also.
If the firmware version is older than 1.34, the process is different with LS-XHL. You need to use the acp_commander to copy the "telnetd" to /usr/local/sbin from older firmware, such as 1.10 and then follow the XHL guide.
Setting up a scanner server
This page walks you through the setting up of the SANE daemon saned on your linkstation. This allows you to plugin a scanner to your linkstation via the USB port and make that scanner available over the network.

The lawsuit against Longmont's ban on fracking has now roped in the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, the state's regulatory agency.
Boulder County District Court Judge D.D. Mallard said she would allow the Colorado Oil and Gas Association to bring in the COGCC as an additional plaintiff, a move called "joinder." In her ruling, Mallard said that while both parties had an interest in seeing the ban overturned, the state agency had aims that would not be adequately represented by COGA, the state's largest oil and gas industry group.
"COGA's interest in this case is to overturn the charter amendment so that its members can proceed with oil and gas production using fracking as a method of production in wells located in Longmont," Mallard wrote. "The commission, on the other hand, has a broader interest in its ability to protect its plenary and regulatory authority to regulate the technical aspects of oil and gas drilling, generally, in Colorado."
The COGCC agreed to be joined in the case.
Longmont voters passed the ban on hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," last November with about 60 percent in favor. Supporters of the ban say the practice can lead to environmental damage; opponents say the practice is so well-established that a ban on fracking is practically a ban on drilling, and that only the state has the authority to regulate the methods used.
COGA sued the city in December in Weld County; the venue was later changed to Boulder County. Several other parties have asked to enter or "intervene in" the suit, including the oil and gas company TOP Operating, the Sierra Club, Food & Water Watch, Earthworks and the activist group Our Health, Our Future, Our Longmont.
The court has allowed all those groups to intervene, though often with a warning not to go beyond the issues already on the table.
"If further proceedings indicate expansion ... beyond the issues originally pled by COGA and the city, or that this order did in fact open floodgates, COGA may request further relief," the judge ruled.
The COGCC itself sued Longmont in July 2012 over the city's new oil and gas regulations, which include a restriction against drilling in residential zones. In a September 2012 visit to Longmont, Gov. John Hickenlooper warned that adopting a fracking ban could lead to a second state lawsuit, but that appeared to change in a December speech at the Rockies Midstream Conference.
In that speech, given to 300 oil and gas executives, Hickenlooper said the state wouldn't sue Longmont over the ban because it wasn't sure it had legal standing to do so.
"We do stand ready to support an energy company that does file a lawsuit in response to the ban," said Eric Brown, a spokesman for the governor, following the speech.
Our Longmont, the Sierra Club, Food & Water Watch and Earthworks issued a joint statement Wednesday denouncing the state's entry into the fracking case.
"Governor Hickenlooper has now in effect sued the citizens of Longmont twice," the groups said. "For the governor and his state agency to attempt to overturn the vote of the people is unconscionable."
COGCC director Matt Lepore emphasized that the commission didn't initiate the lawsuit or the process, and was only brought into the case because of a legal step by COGA.
"That said," Lepore added, "the COGCC does believe Longmont's ban on hydraulic fracturing is contrary to state law and we believe clarity from the courts on this matter is important for all parties."

In most cartoons dating back to the 70s, the animators are expected to draw "on-model". The modern meaning of this is to not ever make up any original poses or expressions for your characters. You are only allowed to use the poses that the character designer drew. So if he only drew 3 poses, you are stuck with that. You could have a cartoon series that goes on for years, but your main character can only have 3 drawings. Do you know anybody in real life that only has 3 poses or expressions? (excluding cartoon production managers)This George model is at least very well drawn. It looks like it was roughed by Ed Benedict, then slickly cleaned-up by Dick Bickenbach. But you would get pretty tired of seeing the same drawings over and over again in a half hour show. A lot of cartoon producers haven't yet figured that out.
Here is a strange "turnaround" drawn by someone other than Ed years after the original Jetsons appeared.
Elroy also looks like a combination of Ed and Dick's work.
ELROY ALWAYS SMILESOn this model sheet, Elroy can only smile. Even if you kick him.
What happens if the writer writes a sad scene into a cartoon and you have to follow the studio's rules of drawing "on-model"? Which of the poses above would you use to have Elroy say "Mom, my baby duck died."? This used to happen all the time. You'd get a scene where there was no appropriate corresponding expression or pose on the model sheet that would match it.
GETTING PERMISSION FOR A NEW EXPRESSIONThen you would have to go up through the bureaucratic chain of command to get permission to make a new expression, A committee of 50 managers, executives and front-runners would ponder the new expression, argue amongst themselves about it, then have you change it about 10 times.
Then the model department would get wind of the outrage that someone who isn't a character designer drew his own expression, throw it out and come up with their own (without having read the story, without knowing the context or having listened to the voice track) and what you'd finally get would be an official crummy new face, but it would have a studio stamp on it and it would be lifeless. And the new expression would have cost the studio $15,000.
Those who haven't worked in the cartoon business yet probably think I'm making this up, but you'll find out once you get a job.
One of the first cartoons we did in Taipei had a scene where George is telling ghost stories and scaring the kids. Of course there were no model-sheets of George making scary faces and the producers expected me just to send drawings of George smiling to the animators. The actor, George O'Hanlon wasn't expected to act without emotion though and on the soundtrack, I could hear him hamming it up and trying to make the scene come to life - funny and scary. For some reason they didn't have an equivalent "on-model" theory for the good voice actors. Like "here are the 3 vocal inflections that George is allowed to do".
Being naive, I still didn't believe the "on-model" rule of never veering from the model sheets-even though I had been told the rule a million times by every producer at Hanna Barbera and Filmation, Marvel, Dic and the rest. I never thought they really meant it. It's just too bizarre to believe.
This scene was layed-out by a young Chinese cartoonist named "Bin". That wasn't his real name, that was the western name James Wang assigned him for me. I wanted the studio to give me and the western crew Chinese names to make it easier for the Chinese crew to remember who we were too, but this seemed to outrage the management. The manager of the studio was called "Mr. Fat" and the artists made fun of him all the time. He was only mildy plump by our Carl's Jr. diet standards, but in Taiwan he was considered a total blimp.
Joe Barbera had created a character named "Orbity" to update the series. We all hated Orbity and everyone tried to talk Joe out of it. But Joe always wanted to make sure the latest generation of kids had whatever the latest trend was jammed into the shows, whether it belonged or not. "The kids love that ugly little Spielberg character - the one that looks like a turd with big wet eyes", he said.
When I handed out scenes to the layout artists, I acted them out and did quick scribbles to give them the idea of the scene.
I thought Bin did an excellent job on this scene (especially having never been asked to draw cartoony or act before in his life), and if I remember correctly, after it was animated and colored -with moody shadows and everything, it actually came out pretty good for 1985. I can't remember if I got yelled at or not.
A Filmation storyboard artist begs for the Layout department to draw a scene without tracing the model sheet. Maybe the model sheets didn't have a perfectly symmetrical pose like the storyboard.

SLIPPERY ROCK — Slippery Rock University's longtime vice president for finance and administration will resign May 3.
Charles Curry, who started at SRU in 1986 and was promoted to his current position in 1988, announced Monday that will be leaving his post.
"At some point you have to say to yourself, 'It is time to do something else.' I think that time has come," Curry said in a statement.
President Cheryl Norton said that Curry was important in developing SRU's early financial reports and a cash management program that increased interest from SRU's investments.
"Under his leadership, the university has remained in a positive financial audit status," Norton said in a statement.
The SRU trustees named Curry to be acting president in January 2012, when former President Robert Smith retired. He served in that position until July 2012 when Norton took over.
SRU will do a national search for a new vice president. Until then, Molly Mercer, assistant vice president for finance, will serve in the interim.
Curry, 63, lives in Slippery Rock Township with his wife, Jean. The couple has two grown children.

After two cancellations, the Heber Springs Panthers finally had the chance to hit the diamond over the weekend at a three-game classic in Lonoke.
After two cancellations, the Heber Springs Panthers finally had the chance to hit the diamond over the weekend at a three-game classic in Lonoke. In their first game under the guidance of head coach B.J. Greene, who led Carlisle to the state title game last season, the Panthers fell to Glen Rose 10-5. Paden Flippin paced the Panthers, finishing 2-for-4 with a double, single and 3 RBI. Also for Heber, Harley Hooten crushed a homerun in his first plate appearance of the season, while Brooks Morgan, Colby Allen and Zach Ingram each had a single for Heber. The Panthers (1-2) lost to Class 5A Morrilton 8-5 on Saturday morning before bouncing back with a 13-3 win over Pulaski Robinson later that afternoon. In the loss to Morrilton, Flippin was 2-for-3 with 2 RBI, Hooten finished 1-for-2 with 2 RBI and Morgan was 1-for-2 with 2 runs and a stolen base. Blaine Hill (1-for-3) and Chandler Jones (1-for-4), who also stole a base, each added a base hit for the Panthers. Flippin led the Panthers once again in their win over Robinson, finishing 4-for-4 with three doubles, one single and 5 RBI. Morgan followed with two hits, including an RBI, while Hooten was 1-for-3 with 2 RBI. Freshman Hunter Chandler picked up the win on the mound for Heber, tossing five innings without allowing a hit. Chandler struck out one and walked one. Judson Smith pitched the final two frames as Heber rolled to a 10-run victory. Heber lost to South Side Bee Branch 16-3 in its home opener Tuesday. They hit the road again for games at Carlisle Thursday and Jonesboro Saturday, when the Panthers will face Valley View and Jonesboro Westside in a doubleheader scheduled for a 1 p.m. at Valley View.

All members of the community that signed up for the Code Red weather alerts before September would have had to have gone back after that time and added the winter weather alert to their preferences. As it stood, only 87 people received the warning.
Emergency Management Director Julie Peterson brought new Emergency Management Handbooks to the regularly scheduled March 5 meeting for the commissioners to look over.
The handbooks are similar to emergency management material passed out in the past, with only a few changes.
The four phases of emergency management have turned to five phases with the addition of recovery, which was added to include timely restoration, strengthening and revitalization of an area affected by a catastrophic event. The other phases of the emergency management plan are prevention, preparedness, response and mitigation.
With this new manual, a NIMS policy refresher will be required for the ten departments of emergency management.
The County Board also accepted a bid by MSpace in the amount of $1,046.94 which was presented by Peterson. This bid was for continued maintenance of the county's camera/video equipment. This equipment is used monthly by the Emergency Management department for satellite meetings, and is available for all county entities.
Also in Emergency Management news, some concerns were raised regarding the Code Red warning system.
"I was very concerned because this is the first time we had an emergency snow warning – we should have gotten a Code Red warning and we didn't," said Peterson.
All members of the community that signed up for the Code Red weather alerts before September would have had to have gone back after that time and added the winter weather alert to their preferences. As it stood, only 87 people received the warning.
"Fair assessment as an outsider looking in would be that the system failed," said Commissioner Scott Sanders.
Sanders asked when the contract with Code Red expired and was disappointed with the problem. The county can opt out of the contract with 30 days notice, but has signed into a three year agreement with Code Red.
There was a resignation in the Human Services department as Dave Christiansen is leaving for new position with the state.
"Dave carries a particularily high behavioral caseload that really we need to get under control quickly," said Human Services Representative Amy Pluym.
Christiansen's last day will be March 15. The Watonwan County Board approved the Human Services request to advertise the position internally, and fill any other positions that might open up as a result of the resignation.
The duties of the treasurers office will be assigned to Auditor Don Kuhlman, this was the decision the board reached at the Tuesday meeting.
With Treasurer Carol Johnson retiring early, the position will remain vacant until the 2014 elections. Until 2014, Kuhlman will take over those responsibilities. The Auditor and Treasurer positions will then be merged and voted upon. Kuhlman said he would not like any pay raise for the added responsibility.
"A lot of people have been picking up slack and there have been a lot of cuts – It's not necessarily fair for me to be getting paid more," said Kuhlman.
Two properties were sold in a public bid during the meeting. A parcel of about three acres was sold to Mike Brandts for $7,500. A parcel containing about five acres was sold to Lon DePoppe for $5,000.
There was a discussion among the Watonwan County Commissioners regarding who would wash the Vet's Van and Take Me There busses. Currently, the busses are cleaned by 4-H for $100 per day. The busses are cleaned monthly, but the Vet's Van, which is in the same shed, doesn't get cleaned.The commissioners would like to request that the Vet's Van also gets cleaned.
The Juvenile Sentence to Serve program will also be cleaning the busses on days that don't interfere with the 4-H cleaning.
"Our plan is to have our deputy supervise these kids while they get as much done as they can," said Watonwan County Police Officer Jeremy Nachreiner.
The Sentence to Serve Program is looking for projects for the kids to work on without placing them in potential harm. Some ideas are raking, painting, picking up sticks and cleaning. All supplies will be paid for by the county.
Public Works Director Roger Risser reported to the commissioners of a new project that is likely to take place in Watonwan County. Xcel Energy is planning a Powerline Route moving west to east through Butterfield, St. James and Madelia.
Risser said there could be some possible issues with the projected route if the county ever wanted to expand the right of way on a few highways, specifically focusing on County Road 116 from St. James to Madelia.
"The ordinance is written so that if we ever need to widen the right away we would have to move [the powerlines] at our own expense," said Risser.
The County Board is planning to draft a new ordinance to address these issues.
The commissioners approved the amended water plan which was brought to the table by Environmental Services Officer Bruce Johnson.
Johnson said the plan is required by the state and was drafted in 2008. This plan was amended and accepted by the county board.
Johnson also reported on some deficiencies in his department.
"There were some deficiencies in the report specifically regarding inspections," said Johnson. "We do a number of inspections, but they don't end up in the computer and that resulted in those deficiencies in their report."
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency reviewed the 2012 county delegated feedlot program and Watonwan County only achieved 77 percent of the non-inspection minimum program requirement, with a zero-percent inspection rate.
Johnson claimed the inspections were done, but the documentation wasn't completed because he couldn't figure out how to complete the documentation.The commissioners accepted the report, and further action may be necessary when reviewed by the MPCA.
Other business:
The Ipads ordered for use by the commissioners have arrived.
The Watonwan County Board went into a closed session to discuss developments on litigation involving the Human Services roof.
The second county board meeting for the month of March has been rescheduled for Friday, March 22 due to scheduling conflicts for both Commissioners Mark Rentz and Scott Sanders.
Past meeting's minutes were approved.
The board of equalization will be meeting Monday June 17, 2013 at 6:30 p.m.
The commissioners accepted a $10,000 ECN Grant.
All personnel requests were accepted.
Training requests for Roger Risser and Marjorie Smith were approved.
The following companies solid waste hauler licenses were approved: LJP enterprises, Waste Management, Riverview Sanitation, Hometown Sanitation Services and Madelia Sanitation.
AMC delegate appointments were made.
Road tour date was set for March 22, with the public hearing taking place April 2 at 10:30 a.m.

I've been a writer a lot longer than I've been an ebook producer. As a writer I have learned that the vast majority of writers do NOT take criticism well. "What do you think of my story?" is a dangerously loaded question. Enemies are made and grudges are born as the result of answering truthfully.
Ebooks are different. Granted, design choices are a matter of preference and taste. For instance, Andrew Vachss's Strega. His publisher used an unusual device for the first lines in the chapters.
I don't care for it. When I showed it to my husband and my son, they thought it looked slick and distinctive. It is a matter of taste.
Sometimes the formatting is actually messed up. Ebooks don't render properly on various devices. I have several that look fine on my eink readers, but on the Fire the font "locks" in Helvetica and can't be user-customized. Making a book that renders properly on every device is a big challenge and one I've faced (it's what led me to learn html so I could make stable ebooks). It doesn't make the ebook unreadable, but it has a definite effect on the reader experience.
Occasionally the formatting is so bad the ebook is unreadable.
That one I didn't purchase. The description makes it sound interesting and the writer sounds interesting, but the formatting is so horrendous, I gave it a pass.
Sometimes the formatting is awful, but not so awful as to make the book unreadable. If the writer is good enough and the story is compelling enough, I can grit my teeth and ignore the layout.
This example looks like a manuscript. It has blank screens throughout. And the author used "typewriter" punctuation. I adored the story and the writing style, but still gritted my teeth. The few typos I encountered leapt off the page like crickets down the front of my shirt. I couldn't ignore them.
Sometimes the formatting is just plain sloppy. The following example is from a publisher.
The publisher scanned print copy then didn't bother to properly clean up the OCR rendering. It's inexcusable, not to mention horribly disrespectful to the writers in this anthology and to the readers. It's offensive. Unfortunately I see this kind of haphazard garbage in a lot of anthologies. The publisher takes the stories as is, makes no attempt at consistency in style or proper formatting, and slaps together a mess.
In other cases, the writer doesn't know what he's doing formatting-wise and uses Word to create the ebook file, ending up with something like this:
It's not unreadable, but it's ugly and looks unprofessional. If the quality of writing and story-telling are borderline, chances are it won't be purchased in the first place or end up in the DNF pile because it's too much of a chore to ignore how ugly it is.
There is a definite learning curve involved with formatting ebooks. The more I learn, the trickier it seems. I'm not formatting just one ebook every six months or so. I'm formatting several a week, gathering knowledge as I go, and when I run into problems, I'm motivated to figure out the whys and wherefores. My goal is to make ebooks that render well across any device, look professional and make a pleasurable reading experience. The goal of many Do-It-Yourselfers is just to make something cheaply and get published. I suspect some of them do not have ereaders and have no idea what their ebook actually looks like.
I screw up and make mistakes. Several times I've had people email me and point out the mistakes. Or comment on this blog to let me know where my techniques can lead to trouble or help me figure out problems or at least point me in the right direction. I've made some friends that way. Gained valuable resources. It doesn't bother me at all. I welcome feedback. I welcome all tips and tricks and questions and comments and "What about if you tried…" suggestions. That's because I'm committed (or should be committed).
Writers have made me gun shy about offering unsolicited criticisms. I have contacted a few writers to let them know their ebooks have problems. But carefully. With extreme caution. Those I have worked up the nerve to contact have been mostly receptive. Some have ignored me. Others have fixed the problems. Sometimes emails fly back and forth as we troubleshoot to figure out where things went wrong.
But for every writer I've contacted, there have been twenty I haven't–even though I really, really wanted to. It's the grudges and hatred thing. Which is kind of silly, no? I mean we're not talking about opinion here. We're not talking about tastes and preferences. Mistakes are mistakes. And some of those mistakes can seriously hurt the writer. Piss-poor formatting can kill sales. It can cause readers to demand a refund. It can affect every writer in a publisher's catalog (there are several traditional publishers I will not buy ebooks from, no matter who the writer is, because I know the ebooks are poorly produced and not worth the price). It can affect future sales. I might suffer through one sorry looking book, but I'm not suffering through more of the same by the same writer/publisher.
So what do you think? What would you think or feel if some stranger came out of nowhere and said your ebook is ugly or unprofessional or unreadable? Would you be offended? Would you blow her off as a hater who dares to criticize? Would you be grateful? Would you attempt to fix the problem?
This inquiring mind really wants to know.

Update 4/1/2011
Wow, dusting this one off! Bamboo Garden is one of Seattle's classic vegetarian/vegan Chinese establishments and great for when you have that Chinese food craving that Portland can't always hit – especially if you have time to hit up one of their tempting lunch combos. I was in town recently and stopped by with a friend and tried both the Szechwan Tofu Skin Hot Pot and Sweet & Sour Chicken. The Tofu Skin dish was chewy, saucey, and with just enough heat that I didn't seek out additional hot sauce. If you haven't tried tofu skin, aka dried bean curd, yet, I recommend you see what you're missing out on! The Sweet & Sour Chicken were balls of soy chicken, battered, fried, and coated in a sweet, syrupy orange sauce. Can I repeat – sweet, battered, balls? Yes.
Heads up – the fortune cookies are not vegan.

It seems everyone has their favorite Chinese food restaurant. Maybe it was the delivery you ordered while pulling an all-nighter in college or the place your family went to dinner on Sunday evenings. That tofu and broccoli, or fried rice you crave when hung-over, or stuck at home in the suburbs. For some of us, it was the most (assumed) veg*n friendly food we knew about when the path to vegetarianism started.
When it comes to Portland, my Chinese-food craving hearts, or taste buds, don't belong to one restaurant. I'm sorry Vegetarian House, but the best Chinese food I've had in the Pacific Northwest so far has been in Seattle at Teapot Vegetarian House. It wasn't the crappy wonderful Chinese food one might crave; it was practically classy in comparison. The closest thing to great I've had in Portland is Golden Jade on SE Belmont, which sadly does not deliver. Last winter, I went to Bamboo Garden and it didn't leave much of an impression on me, but this time, I got it.
Bamboo Garden is a faux meat focused restaurant with tons of classics. You'll find Chow Mein, Kung Pao 'Chicken', Sesame 'Chicken', Fried Rice, Hot and Sour Soup, Sautéed 'Eel,' and even Fried 'Chicken Fingers' – ironically familiar to those of us who may have been subjected to less than stellar buffets growing up. There are over 100 menu items, and this vegetarian restaurant is open to special dietary restrictions, "Ask your server for special dietary needs requiring special preparation, including no salt, no oil, no sugar, or other restrictions. Only the fortune cookies contain eggs.". The restaurant is also certified Kosher. The restaurant uses tofu, soy products and mushrooms to create their faux meat features.
My partner and I shared our entrees – a hefty portion of 'Chicken' Chow Mein ($7.50) and smaller Sesame 'Chicken'. While the chicken was obviously, and easily more identifiable as seasoned tofu strips, and more 'pork' like then chicken, it was still delicious. The tofu, noodles and vegetables were all thin, and bites were easily pierced and wrapped around a fork. It was a dish that 2, if not 3 people could dine on alone and something I'd order again and again. Lo Mein was one of my favorite Chinese food dishes growing up, and the Chow Mein was better than anything in memory. The Sesame Chicken ($8.95) can more aptly be described as chicken 'balls' – golden, fried nuggets with a soy protein center, coated in a sweet and sour sauce. Just picture that sweet crunch, and take a sip of water. The chicken balls were served in an edible potato nest, with rice and broccoli. It's one of those dishes that you know is just awful for you, but you love anyway. Or, you hope your partner orders so you can steal a ball from him.
We also ordered the 'Chicken Fingers' – which were predictably greasy, but not bad, and the Spring Rolls. The Spring rolls were the low point of the meal. The filling tasted 'old', and I put mine down after a bite. I didn't want anything else to do with it. On the plus side, it was cheap, and everything else contributed to a positive experience. Between the two of us, the bill was comfortably under $30, and that's certainly not bad for a special dinner out in Seattle.
