"Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward." –C.S Lewis
Letting go is one of the hardest lessons to learn. And then most of us have to re-learn the same lesson the next time we have to move on from something or someone. It's a cycle and it's a challenge every time. Whatever it is in your life, you might not be ready to let go yet, but one day holding on will be too much of a burden. For some, it's letting go of a loved one or a job, or even letting go of anger or resentment from something in their past. The theme of moving on is so common throughout our lives that we forget it's something we have to do in order to heal.
Right now I'm on the better end of the cycle, but for me it's been years of battling with my own heart over a guy that I allowed to control my choices. I was too attached to leave him behind, which is mostly my fault. To be honest, I don't even think he knew how much he took from me, how much time I wasted wanting him. I was embarrassingly fixated on having a Nicholas Sparks version of happily ever after. Moreover, I tricked myself into thinking that was the thing that would make me happiest. It's taken years to move on from what now seems like an unnecessary, self-inflicted broken heart, but in those moments of my life I allowed that relationship (or hope for that relationship) to take over my ability to see the road ahead. Letting go was never an option, until I learned that I was never meant to hold on.
By nature, I'm not one who gives up easily even if all the road signs are screaming at me to take another route. I dwell and I hold on so tightly that I probably end up making a fool out of myself. In this case, I lived in the "what ifs" and "could have beens" when I should never have ventured there in the first place. Thankfully there are moments in our lives where can see ourselves from a distance and realize that it's okay for the weight that we've been carrying to fall away. I think we get used to the heartache always being there and at a certain point we're attached to it like we don't know who we'd be without it.
In my case, I was rejected repeatedly and humiliated and left with a broken heart that only I would be able to repair one day. I couldn't seek refuge in the love of someone else or in my success. I'm responsible for taking my hand off that monkey bar and pushing myself forward. That guy wasn't going to come back and put me back together or even come back to love me for that matter. And the man that ended up being the love of my life wasn't interested in mending the broken heart that someone else left behind, nor did he deserve to feel that he had to.
My hope is that I never forget this feeling, this freedom, and this ability to be able to honestly say that I moved on. We all know what it feels like to try to piece our hearts back together and although I feel silly for being so recklessly in love with someone who never had the intention to love me back, it really wasn't silly at all. In each painful experience there is a lesson and a growth that happens. It teaches us things we didn't know about ourselves and allows our bravery to shine through. The monkey bars were always the most intimidating of all the things on the playground, but they also allowed for the greatest feeling of accomplishment once you conquered them. Retrospect is a beautiful thing sometimes; we can look back and see that it really wasn't that discouraging. All we had to do to move forward was let go.

Liz Walkowski commented 2014-11-20 09:09:54 -0800I am currently in this situation with my boyfriend of three years. He "lost feelings" for me one random day and I cannot seem to let go, I attached myself to him and my life revolved around what we did and my feelings for him. It is a big change trying to 'unlatch' myself from him..it is a real struggle. This article helped a little to know someone else will come around :)

- October 2013: Character Battle IX Redux
You can use any medium you want to create your entry. You can, for example, write a story, draw a picture, film a video, write a poem, sing a song, act it out with action figures, dress your pets up as the characters, perform a dramatic reading, perform an interpretive dance, or anything else you can imagine. The only requirements are that your entry be specifically about a single battle (not one character's entire journey through the contest), that your entry be ToU-friendly, and that your entry be uploaded off-site and linked to here.
To enter, upload your creation (or photos of it) to a third-party site. For example, for a text file you can use pastebin.com, for a Word document or PowerPoint file you can use Google Docs, for an image you can use imgur, and for a video you can use YouTube. Remember to follow all of the GameFAQs rules: no offensive content, no illegal content, and mark any spoilers. If you're making an album of photos, please use one that gives a single link to the entire album, like imgur.
Entries will be voted on by the moderators. The winner will receive 50 karma, and up to five runner-ups will split an additional 50 karma. Two randomly-selected entrants whose entries receive at least one vote (but who do not otherwise win a karma prize) will be selected to win 10 bonus karma. So, even if you don't think you have a shot at winning, putting together something decent still gives you a chance of winning a bonus prize.
Important! Please submit your entries using the following format:
Entry: http://www.website.com/yourentry
For example:
Entry: http://i.imgur.com/(yourimage).png
Entry: http://www.pastebin.com/fd4ff4
Entry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt2MCK0
Entry: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uMt1c_k_hap
I cannot guarantee your entries will be considered if they are not in this format. You can include other text in the post, so long as the above text appears on its own line somewhere in your entry. Don't put numbers after 'Entry', don't put spaces before the colon, use exactly this format.
The deadline for entry will be in two weeks, on Wednesday, October 16th at 11:59PM EST.
1. Joint entries are permitted. If you and another user (or two, or three, or more) want to work together on an entry and split the prize if you win, that's fine -- just make sure that all entrants' usernames are included in the entry post. Also, after the entry is posted, it'd be helpful if all the entrants would post to confirm they're a part of the entry.
2. Maximum two entries per user, but only one winning entry per user. If you enter twice and both qualify for prizes, your higher-place entry will receive the prize karma, and lower-placed entries will be bumped up. If one (or both) of your entries is part of a joint entry, you can only receive karma for one entry, but the others in the joint entry may still receive karma.
3. All work must be original. Of course, though, if you've put together something like this in the past (or you've made things that could be used for this contest), you're welcome to enter it.
4. The Terms of Service still apply -- don't post any entries that violate any of the Terms of Service. This includes marking spoilers if your entry contains any.
5. To change your entry, delete your original post. I won't be compiling a list of entries until the deadline passes, so as long as your post is visible at the deadline, it'll be added.
Good luck!

Latest: Review: Killer Is Dead
This post is a sample entry. It's fine for me to write some text up here, so long as this line appears on its own:
Entry: http://pastebin.com/eDGyaKAe
Oh, and I can include more than one entry. For example:
Entry: http://pastebin.com/5t3vCa6D
Both those entries would be considered. However, none of these entries would be considered:
Entry 1: http://pastebin.com/5t3vCa6D -- Hey, there's not supposed to be a '1' there! This entry wouldn't get seen!
My Entry: http://pastebin.com/5t3vCa6D -- Why is the word 'My' there?! Don't do that!
Entry : http://pastebin.com/5t3vCa6D -- What, a space before the colon? Ouch, my grammar bone.
http://pastebin.com/5t3vCa6D -- A link by itself? That certainly wouldn't get picked up!

Calkins, Cougars hold off West's rally
JANESVILLE--Alli Calkins doesn't mind being the lone senior on the Janesville Craig girls basketball team.
In fact, she kind of likes it.
The Cougars leaned on her in crunch time Thursday night, and she responded by scoring six of her 12 points in the fourth quarter as Craig held off Madison West's late charge for a 63-49 victory to open Big Eight Conference play.
"I had a pretty rough first half, and my teammates definitely picked me up," Calkins said. "It's weird being the only senior, but it's also nice, because I like when people rely on me. It's nice being a leader."
The Regents trailed by double digits for much of the second and third quarters, but they used a 7-1 run to open the fourth to trail 49-45.
Calkins drew a foul at the offensive end and sank both of her free throws, and after West missed a shot at the other end, Craig junior Al Hughes knocked down a 3-pointer to quickly regain momentum.
Hughes forced a jump ball—giving possession to Craig—on defense, and the Cougars got back to the free-throw line. They couldn't cash in, but Calkins grabbed an offensive rebound and called timeout.
"She had a nice game despite sitting a lot," Craig coach Kerry Storbakken said. "She sat a lot of the third quarter and was out in the first half with fouls.
"Our kids showed some poise down the stretch."
Craig found Calkins for a layup on the inbounds play, and the Cougars finished off the Regents at the charity stripe.
"Sometimes you have to win ugly," Calkins said.
She was one of four Craig players in double figures. Hughes led all scorers with 17, while sophomore guards Anne Schumacher and Delaney Schoenenberger chipped in 13 and 12, respectively. Shaquita Lee had 16 for West.
The Cougars led by a dozen points at halftime, mainly because they made seven 3-pointers.
They shot just 31.5 percent for the game and missed 15 free throws.
�"We'll learn from it; we've got one senior out of 12 kids," Storbakken said. "It was the first Big Eight game for the sophomores, and the games get a little bigger. But we weathered the storm."
The Cougars play at Verona on Saturday night.

Seekerville shared the news about the launch of Carina Press with all our friends, but there's more information at the the Carina Press site and the Carina Press Blog!
Here's the official Press Release in case you missed it:
Harlequin launches digital-only publishing house
Carina Press™ currently accepting submissions
Toronto, ON (November 9, 2009) – Harlequin Enterprises Limited, the global leader in series romance and one of the world's leading publishers of women's fiction, announced today the launch of Carina Press™, a digital-only publishing house that will operate independently of their traditional publishing businesses.
Carina Press is a digital-only publishing house whose eBooks will be sold direct to consumers through the Carina Press Web site and numerous third-party Web sites. Carina Press will publish a wide range of women's fiction—from romance to erotica, science fiction to mystery, family sagas to choose your own adventures, horror to thriller and more, including every conceivable subgenre of these categories.
"As a digital-only publisher Carina Press is a natural extension to our business; it builds on our digital strength and leadership position. We expect to discover new authors and unique voices that may not be able to find homes in traditional publishing houses," said Donna Hayes, CEO and Publisher of Harlequin Enterprises. "It definitely gives us greater flexibility in the type of editorial we can accept from authors and offer to readers. As well, we hope to reach a new group of readers with niche editorial."
Brent Lewis, Vice President Digital, is delighted to announce Angela James is joining Carina Press as Executive Editor. A veteran of the digital publishing industry, James is a well-known advocate for digital publishing. James has enjoyed a long and varied publishing career including senior editorial positions at digital-first publishers. "I have admired Harlequin's digital initiatives for years, and have always thought of them as leaders in the digital arena, so I'm unbelievably excited to join the Carina Press team," said James. "I believe Harlequin can bring digital publishing to the next level for both authors and readers."
Lewis added, "Angela has been a key player in growing the digital marketplace for romance. Her experience and insight is a tremendous benefit to the Carina Press team."
Carina Press is currently accepting submissions in all genres of commercial fiction. Carina Press will consider shorter length stories, genre novels between 50,000 to 100,000 words and longer and complex narratives of over 100,000 words. Carina Press will also acquire books that have
been previously released in print form, but for which the author has either retained digital rights or had digital rights revert to them. All submissions should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Carina Press plans to launch in summer 2010 and will release new titles on a weekly basis. Between now
and the launch, readers and writers can follow the progress of Carina Press via their blog.

Police Academy Part 2: Drugs and crime scenes
Editor's Note: This is the second of a three-part series on the Alexandria Citizens Police Academy as seen through the eyes of one of its participants - reporter Crystal Dey.
A lot of legwork precedes apprehension of criminals. First, they must be caught. Next, there must be evidence. We found out it's not as easy as it looks on TV.
During our initial tour of the facility we brushed through the evidence room and lab. Captain Scott Kent said we were about to experience our "CSI Night" and a bit of what he described as his true passion in law enforcement during our third class.
Our investigative aptitude was tested as Sergeant Larry Dailey walked us through a mock crime scene. As we surveyed the scene, Dailey pointed out how evidence is collected and discussed how the evolution of DNA collection has changed the process.
Dailey said if there is one thing he has learned over the years, it is that no detail is too small or insignificant to break a case.
Detective Jay Halverson introduced us to what an evidence lab looks like - when you don't have a multi-million dollar budget and set designer. A modest room that covers the core needs of evidence evaluation makes up the lab at the APD. Abby's lab from NCIS it isn't, but it has served its purpose in tracking down criminals.
Halverson said it's frustrating to watch television shows like CSI and NCIS because a case can't realistically be solved in an hour. The APD works closely with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to process evidence.
While in the lab we dusted for prints - our own. It isn't as easy as you'd think. I either was doing it wrong or I don't have fingerprints. Halverson said fingerprints can be detected for a few months if the conditions are right.
The lab is equipped to conduct the "superglue method." An item of interest is placed in a chamber along with superglue in foil containers on hotplates. When the plates heat the glue, it releases fumes that attach to the moisture in the fingerprint, leaving a visible trace where one couldn't be detected before. Once fingerprint dust is waved over the print with a feather duster - voila, a print appears.
No doubt some of the prints pulled in the lab were from hands that once possessed the baggies of drugs that Officer Tony Kuhnau passed around earlier in the evening.
The class was able to see what different forms of crystal meth look like as well as cocaine, marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Instruments used to smoke and inject the drugs were also viewed.
Synthetic marijuana is a huge problem in Moorhead right now, Kent said. As soon as it's pulled from the shelves in head shops the chemical composition is changed and more is shipped for sale. K2 and Spice are common brands marketed as "herbal incense blends."
"They're changing it [synthetic drugs] faster than we can test it," Kent said. So by the time a synthetic drug is designated as illegal, a new concoction is on the shelves. In 2011, it became a gross misdemeanor to sell synthetic marijuana. A bill has been proposed this year to make the law proactive for future synthetics.
What I found most shocking is that crystal meth is more expensive than cocaine. Kuhnau explained that drugs are valued based on the intensity and the length of time it takes to get high.
A classmate mentioned how the information age has aided in the spread of drug use over the years. Twenty years ago you couldn't find a recipe to mix up a batch of drugs online, now you can.
This info-sharing is affecting our youth. Another classmate mentioned how her son in 10th grade witnessed kids ingesting nutmeg in an attempt to get high.
It's important to note that these kids spent a long time vomiting and it didn't appear to give them the desired effect.
Other drugs plaguing our high schools are: Adderall, Xanax, K2, Spice and Bath Salts.
Six APD officers teach Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) to help educate children and prevent drug abuse in young people. If the danger of using drugs doesn't dissuade these kids, maybe knowing the crime lab's capability to bust them will.
The Alexandria Technical and Community College (ATCC) has an elaborate law enforcement training facility. We were introduced to the methods used in traffic stops and home entry in what looked like a movie set in a garage at ATCC.
I was "shot" twice. Not really shot; we used prop guns but it was intense.
Using APD squads, we performed mock traffic stops acting out different scenarios. Since my first act as police officer went so well, pulling someone over and giving a warning, I thought I knew the drill.
As I walked up to the stopped vehicle and leaned coolly on the car to speak with the speeding driver - BOOM! In an instant an officer can be shot conducting a routine traffic stop.
A robbery was staged at the ATCC corner convenience store. Before each scenario we were briefed on officer protocol and what steps to take.
Everything happens so fast I forgot what we were supposed to do after the robber, "Mike" (Scott Keehn), was spotted. Following suit I darted across ATCC Street (which has real sidewalks and real curbs to trip over). We caught Mike in his apartment.
The apartment/house has so many doors, rooms and stairs it's dizzying; much like it must be for officers each time they enter a new, unfamiliar residence.
We staged a domestic disturbance and a school shooting incident. Sergeant Chad Schroeder said a lot has changed in the way school shootings are handled since the Columbine incident.
The gunmen were inside the school for more than an hour, Schroeder said, before law enforcement entered Columbine High School. Now patrol officers don't usually wait for a SWAT team to assemble and lead the way.
During the mock school shooting, our team bottlenecked when we got to the room the shooter was in with the children (no children were actually present).
"Get in there! Kids are being shot!" said Officer Jim Gripne.
I think there were maybe two of us who didn't almost pass out when we heard the blank shots fired.
It is baffling to comprehend how officers seamlessly blend quick thinking and reasoning with agility and ability. They have to determine when it's necessary to use soft force, which can be an escort by the arm or using pressure points, and when to use deadly force. Sometimes actions escalate in stages and other times it's a snap judgment call.
Amped on adrenaline, we stopped for the evening and discussed what we had just experienced. We didn't do everything perfectly. I ran ahead of my team once (called jack-rabbiting) and couldn't quite get the hang of getting my gun out of its holster.
We were confused at times and stopped for directions. Officers don't have that option. They have to get it right the first time, every time.
To be fair, they have had a lot more training that we had. Officer Keith Melrose said they have SWAT practice once a week.
"We do it [SWAT training] again and again until we get it right," Melrose said. Otherwise, they do push-ups until they can get it right.

This is a little old posting, but for those with similar situations, as long as the little bump is not bothering you, leave it alone.
The body will wall off a foreign body. When there is a splinter, the body will first usually try to get rid of it by causing a small abscess, so the foreign body will be expelled with the pus. But, if this does not work, then the body will just wall the foreign material off from the rest of the body with a little bit of collagen, or scar tissue.
Thus, the body no longer interacts with it. It is gone as far as the body is concerned.
So, if the small lump is not bothering you are all, just leave it alone. If it is large, you do not like the appearance, it is causing some type of problem, then you could have the whole foreign body granuloma excised. You trade a bump for a scar.
So, again, if it is not bothering you, leave it alone.
Good luck.

Provides: Bluetooth keyboard, stand and case
Developer: Logitech
Minimum Requirements: iPad 2
Price: $99.99
Availability: Now
If you had to restrict yourself to just one accessory to make traveling with an iPad 2 even better, the Logitech Keyboard Case for iPad 2 would be among the best choices. It combines a Bluetooth keyboard with iOS specific keys, a stand and a traveling case into one product, and it does it well. When not typing, you can use the keyboard case to protect the screen of your iPad 2 or as a stand to watch movies. And since there's a built in rechargeable battery, there's no need to ever worry about buying batteries to keep it working. You can't ask for much more in a multi-purpose accessory for iPad 2.
You might recognize the design of the Logitech keyboard case as being almost identical to the original ZAGG keyboard case. That's because they've teamed up on the iPad 2 version. Ultimately, it's Logitech branded, but pretty much the original ZAGG design. It's basically a metal shell that can act as a screen cover for transport and a keyboard with a built in stand when necessary. The keyboard functions over Bluetooth with a built in rechargeable battery. It recharges with the included micro USB cable and has a very respectable battery life. There's a switch to turn the keyboard on and off, but the battery life is superb, so you'll probably only need to turn it off if you are concerned about accidental typing for some reason.
Getting the iPad 2 in and out of this case is a little less elegant than I would prefer. It's not a major problem, but is probably the one thing that could really be improved. The iPad is help in place by friction from rubber on the inside walls of the case. The metal shell on the back is not fully covered on the front edges, so you may worry about scratching your screen when inserting iPad. As such, the edges could have been designed a little better, but again, it's not something I worry about too much since I'm mindful of it. It should be noted that the Logitech keyboard case only covers the screen of the iPad and cannot be flipped to the backside like you might imagine. So, it mainly functions as a case for transportation, not an use in case. That said, there are cutouts for the volume controls, headphone port and dock connection, so you can still use the iPad 2 while in the case for things such as audio playback.
There is one noticeable difference between the ZAGG keyboard case for iPad and the Logitech keyboard case for iPad 2. Like the Smart Covers from Apple, taking iPad 2 out of this case can also unlock it. I wasn't expecting this feature, since it isn't mentioned in the product description, but it's definitely there. I'm not sure just how useful this is, but it's a nice touch. If you don't like that, you can always turn it off in Settings.
To use the keyboard, you'll want to flip up the retractable stand. It's a small piece of plastic that, along with a groove above the keyboard area, allows the case to function as a stand. The stand only provides for one angle, but it works very well. You don't necessarily need to use the keyboard to use the stand, so feel free to use this guy for watching movies and such. This helps make the Logitech keyboard case a multi-purpose accessory, which I very much appreciate.
Initially, I had some difficulty typing on the reduced size keyboard, but it's not definitely not impossible. The size of the keyboard is limited by the size of the iPad 2 itself. Still, this keyboard is easily better than the virtual keyboard for a plethora of reasons. First, it's physical, and thus gives tactile feedback (allowing you to type normally instead of constantly checking your finger placement on screen). Second, it has a number of special keys that give easy access to commonly used functions like cut, copy and paste, undo, redo, music playback controls, Spotlight, Home Button, Photo Slideshow Start, etc. I've found myself using these keys ever more often. In fact, I like them so much that they make me not want to go back to a regular bluetooth keyboard with iPad, despite the slightly increased difficulty of typing on a reduced sized keyboard. This difficulty does ease up with practice, provided you don't have large hands. Since my hands are pretty normal, if not a bit thin, I've adapted to using this keyboard fairly easily.
I really think the Logitech keyboard case is a great accessory for anyone who travels with an iPad 2. Instead of bringing a case, a stand and a Bluetooth keyboard, all you need is this guy. With it, you have most of the functionality of a notebook, but much less weight and size. Think of it like a netbook, only with a removable keyboard and a functional interface.
Overall, the Logitech keyboard case is one of the best multi-purpose accessories available for iPad 2. It functions as a case for transport, a bluetooth keyboard with iOS specific keys, has superb battery life and works as an iPad stand. The reduced sized keyboard is something to be aware of, but shouldn't be a problem for most users with a bit of practice.

Well, the results are in, with Ben Fountain's short story collection Brief Encounters with Che Guevara (published under the literary Ecco) imprint and Eric Blehm's real-life thriller The Last Season (from Harper proper) each earning $10,000…and, perhaps more importantly in the long run, a full year of B&N's marketing muscle behind their continued promotion. The push starts tonight with a reading at the superstore across the street from Lincoln Center, where Fountain and Blehm will be joined by other finalists.

Yost ready to use Broxton more frequently
Yost ready to use Broxton more frequently
CLEVELAND -- Jonathan Broxton, thrust into the closer's role when Joakim Soria underwent elbow surgery, was coming back from more minor elbow surgery of his own and the Royals were taking it slow with him.
But now manager Ned Yost believes that Broxton is ready to pitch in three consecutive games, if necessary. He was being restricted to back-to-back games.
"Our plan was to take him into June and let him go. We're not quite into June, but we're close enough that we were going to let him go [Monday] night," Yost said.
But Broxton wasn't needed in an 8-5 loss to the Indians. He had recorded saves in the previous two games at Baltimore, the sixth time this season that he'd pitched in successive games.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Urban Recipe, Inc., Atlanta, GA, USA
I am a freelance writer and have been working on a volunteer basis with Atlanta nonprofit organizations. I was introduced to the Georgia Avenue Cooperative Ministry's Food Coop through my husband, who is on the Board of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. When I heard about the Coop, I thought GACM would be an organization I would like to help. I visited the Coop just before Thanksgiving, and witnessed the strong spirit of community among the members. For a small fee, families are able to put food on their tables with pride. The members contribute not only money, but they gather at GACM on their assigned food distribution days, and when the truck arrives with the food, they distribute food to each family. All the while, there is a sense of faith and camaraderie. Chad Hale, the Executive Director, does a wonderful job coordinating all this, and he is the driving force for this important organization.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
When I visited GACM in November, I witnessed the distribution of turkeys and other food to families that would otherwise not have food for Thanksgiving. A beautiful impromptu hymn was sung and prayers were said. It was clear that the members share a sense of belonging to a network that provides not only much needed food, but also friendship. It was a heartwarming experience.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Provide more funding for the Coop program to expand.

County History
Pike County,
|Pike County was created from sections of Knox, Gibson and Perry Counties. Pike
county was the first county to be organized after Indiana became a state in February,
1817. During the course of the first year, the commissioners divided Pike County into four
townships: Madison, Washington, Jefferson and Harbinson. In 1820 Monroe Township was
created and by 1857 it was divided into the townships of Logan, Patoka, Lockhart and
Marion. In 1824 the entire township Harbinson was cut off to form Dubois County along with
a small area of land now belonging to Perry and Martin Counties.
At the same time part of Gibson County was cut off and attached to Pike County to form Clay Township which gives us our nine townships.

Dayton hopes for stadium plan on Nov. 7
ST. PAUL -- Gov. Mark Dayton wants the Minnesota Vikings, Ramsey County and others to provide him enough information so he can release a Vikings stadium proposal on Nov. 7.
That would be two weeks before he plans a special legislative session to vote on a stadium plan.
Dayton hosted a trio of meetings today after other meetings earlier in the week to move the stadium proposal forward. He emphasized again today that he thinks it is "a very real possibility" that the Vikings will move to Los Angeles or elsewhere if they do not get a new stadium deal done by the Feb. 1 end of the Metrodome lease.
"I am still in a listening mode," Dayton said, adding that he has asked the Vikings and others to deliver information he needs to draw up "a more specific proposal."
Among key items he wants is a signed agreement from the Vikings that the team will pay for any cost overruns and remain in Minnesota if a new stadium is built. The Vikings dispute a Metropolitan Council report that indicates there would be higher-than-planned costs to develop the team's preferred site near Arden Hills, in northern Ramsey County.
Dayton said the Vikings agreed to pay the extra costs, but he wants it in writing before the process moves too far.
Although Dayton hosted three meetings today, those attending the meetings said little as they left.
Most notable in refusing to talk was Vikings owner Zygi Wilf, who early this afternoon came out of Dayton's office and had a team vice president say that he would not talk. Then Wilf quickly walked out of the Capitol, with a horde of reporters and photographers in tow. He said nothing.
Hours later, the Vikings issued a statement: "The Vikings held a productive meeting with Gov. Dayton today. The team had planned to address the media with the governor following that meeting, but it was our understanding that Gov. Dayton wanted to make public remarks at the conclusion of all of his meetings today. Out of respect for the governor, the decision was then made to give him an opportunity to recap his day."
Dayton did hold a news conference later in the day to update the public on a new $1.1 billion stadium.
Besides Wilf, Dayton hosted a meeting with the owner of Block E in downtown Minneapolis, who wants the state to approve a casino for his property. Bob Lux said he and Dayton did not discuss the stadium, although there is much talk that some state profits from the casino could be used to build a new Vikings facility.
Also meeting with Dayton were Ramsey County officials, who are promoting a site in the northern part of their county as the prime stadium site possibility. Commissioner Tony Bennett said he would let Dayton speak about the talks, but did say he would not still be in the Capitol if things were not going well.
"We need to get this done by turkey day," Bennett said.
Rep. Morrie Lanning, R-Moorhead, has said any stadium deal needs to be approved by lawmakers in a special session before Thanksgiving. Lanning, prime author of the House stadium bill, said chances of approving a stadium will fall if it is delayed until the next legislative session, to start on Jan. 24.
Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, R-Buffalo, says she has no plans to develop a plan because that is the governor's job.

"It is a trick among the dishonest to offer sacrifices that are not needed, or not possible, to avoid making those that are required."
– Ivan Goncharove, novelist and Official Government Censor in Czarist Russia during in the 1870s
That is as true today in America as it was during the period of decaying and corrupt Czarist Russia prior its dissolution and fall.
What is impacted today by the bipartisan corruption we refer to as government in our own country and age? Public schools. High stakes testing. Jobs. Pensions. Bridges – and more. The future of our children, our elders, and all of us has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans. As long as we continue to pull the lever with the party brand we believe stands for the things they used to stand for, nothing will change for the better. Corruption as government has replaced political parties.
Here are a few examples from a few states and one on a federal level. The specific corruption and legislators are merely the tip of the iceberg. Please read this with one question in mind.
Who in your own community, city or state is doing the same or similar things?
As he destroys the teacher and other public employee pensions by breaking the state constitution he took an oath to defend, 30 year Speaker of the House Mike Madigan (D) is under investigation for the same forms of corruption that jailed several governors in Illinois. His super-majority minions must follow his lead. His daughter is the Attorney General, and he controls who is nominated and elected as state Supreme Court judges. Who will charge, prosecute and try him for anything?
"Nothing is ever going to change until people understand the costs and harm of this and then care enough to put a stake in the ground." Read the media account of merely one scandal Madigan is presently deeply involved with as described in the Tribune account HERE and Quincy Journal article HERE.
Why are public employees and taxpayers expected to make sacrifices that are not needed and cannot fix the revenue problems created by Madigan?
(Thanks to a wonderful retired Illinois teacher and her husband who presently live in Florida, Nan & Ed Sabourin, for sharing the Madigan information.)
The New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and leading potential Presidential candidate is busy throwing his appointed officials under the bus for another obvious form of corruption that hurts many adults and innocent school children on buses. (There are simply too many media links to suggest as detailed verification of his latest corruption. Google it and choose.)
The people of New Jersey are making all kinds of sacrifices to their social services and infrastructure problems. Why?
In New York, Gov. Andrew (D) Cuomo supports the repeatedly failed ideas of corporate education reform investors as he channels tax money to them. Diane Ravitch informs us of this fiasco in her superb blog HERE.
In addition, Ravitch's chapter 12 in her 2013 best selling education book, Reign of Error, clearly states examples of when, where and why these failures occurred as education reform corporations continue to push it for their own advantage. Why sacrifice public education and continue failed policies?
Florida, with its self-financed campaigner and multimillionaire Tea Party Gov. Rick Scott (R), refuses federal healthcare funds for its poorest families and children. Ordering people without boots to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps is insane. Keeping children hungry and sick while awarding money for charter schools to the well fed and healthy children of more affluent parents is a form of child abuse unparalleled in American history. Why sacrifice children for corporate tax gifts?
For the ex-CEO of the healthcare corporation guilty of the largest fraud in the history of Medicare, Scott's arrogance and abuse of power deserve investigation and jail time. His previous pleading of his 5th Amendment Rights cannot protect him this time. Read the Tampa Bay Times account HERE.
Of course politicians can graduate to the point where keeping the posture of a specific brand of political party becomes a moot point. Pick a party brand and play at being the middle-of-the-road candidate of choice. As long as the good-cop-bad-cop game is played and money flows, even Bush Dynasty benefactors can point fingers and dip into tax coffers for No Child Left Behind and its newer sequel, Race to the Top.
Hungry poorly educated children of unemployed parents? That is good for both political parties. They can continue to beg and threaten for millions of dollars of "contribute $5 to keep…" email scams. Who is sacrificing what for what? Read the CNN report HERE.
As long as massive amounts of money pour into organizations and corporations claiming education reform for profit and benefits for all of America, Jeb Bush flourishes as the poster boy for the public-private revolving door of wealth accumulation. Jeb is so wealthy that he can now afford to appear middle-of-the-road for the wealth based supporters of image versus reality.
Wall St. financiers now look to him as the Chris Christie replacement, the next Presidential candidate of choice. Read HERE.
The combination of purposeless sacrifice and political corruption must be ended. We must reclaim reform or perish.
"It is a trick among the dishonest to offer sacrifices that are not needed, or not possible, to avoid making those that are required."
– Ivan Goncharove

Ethiopia-born singer Meklit Hadero puts multicultural spin on jazz
Even through the haze of jetlag and cross-continental cellular static, Meklit Hadero's presence is remarkable. Whether mesmerizing audiences in America or in her home country of Ethiopia, the singer/songwriter traces her confidence and charisma to her migrant life.
"I think moving around did two things: one was that it taught me how to make friends with a big variety of people and connect with people who didn't have much in common with me, and it also taught me how to be comfortable in a huge variety of situations," explains Hadero. "It gave me a real flexibility of living that I use all the time, and I also think it was great preparation for life on the road as a touring musician in general."
Throughout her life, Hadero has called a dozen cities and three continents her home, and the mellow fluidity and multi-generational appeal of her songs seem to embody the best of all the cultures she's been a part of. "It sits at the crossroads of North American songwriters, the jazz tradition and Ethiopian music," she says of her musical style. "In Ethiopian music there's a sort of super vibrato where people hover around a note instead of grabbing a note and holding onto it—it's just kind of how my voice was and is, I can feel that my voice comes from that place."
As a child, it was clear that Hadero had a passion for music—"My mother will tell stories of me being three years old and asking people in the elevator if they wanted to hear me sing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,'" she admits—but her career as a musician didn't blossom until she moved to the Bay Area.
In San Francisco, Hadero found an audience at the Mission Arts and Performance Project, a community-based grassroots art event, where artists from around the world collaborate.
"That whole community showed me how to be a singer and a musician that was actively engaged in the community, but also inspired by the other artists around—not just musicians, but visual artists as well," she says. "I'm not so much about being a particular kind of musician as I am about experimenting with sound and bringing genre-bending music to a new place." That experimentation is evident on both her EP, Eight Songs, and the full-length record, On a Day Like This.
At the center of it all is her warm and expressive voice, which she says is the result of her fascination with the intricacies of vocal expression. "The voice is an instrument that has such a subtlety to it—it responds to your moods, it's different all the time … it's made of you," she explains. "Just as you grow and shift, so does your voice, and you have to learn how to relate with it. I don't think that the voice can be mastered—I don't like thinking of it as a kind of mastery—it's more about learning how to steward its moods and personalities, and that really takes a long time so I take voice lessons as often as I can."
As a Senior Fellow for TED—a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas—and founder of the Arba Minch collective—a cultural exchange program that connects Ethiopia and the world through arts—Hadero is a strong believer in the ability of music and arts to unify: "There's a moment in shows that doesn't always happen," she says, "where the audience that is made of 100 different bubbles becomes one big bubble—that's something that [as people] we look for, but a lot of us don't know how much we seek it."
Meklit Hadero plays at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 30, at Don Quixote's, 6275 Hwy 9, Felton. Tickets are $13/adv, $15/door. 603-2294.

Senator Krueger Renews Call For Passing The Healthy Teens Act
Albany— State Senator Liz Krueger (D-Manhattan) joined health advocates yesterday in urging Majority Leader Joe Bruno to bring the Healthy Teens Act to the Senate floor for a vote. The Healthy Teens Act (S1342) will create a system for providing grants to schools for the purpose of developing age appropriate, medically accurate sex education.
"Proper sex education is a necessary part of any school curriculum," said Senator Krueger. "We don't want our children to trade false information in their school yards and cafeterias. They all talk about sex. We need them to get the facts that can protect their lives from sexually transmitted disease and avoid unwanted pregnancy."
Family Planning Advocates of New York State has organized a week long effort to raise awareness of the need for the Healthy Teens Act. The week began with events in Albany, including petition signings and lobbying legislators, and will culminate with local events in each Senator's home districts. They have also set up a link on their website http://www.fpaofnys.org/ which directs people to send letters in support of the Healthy Teens Act.
The Healthy Teens Act has passed the State Assembly for the past four years, including in 2008. Unfortunately, the Senate has never had the opportunity to vote on the bill due to Senator Bruno's determination not to bring it to the floor for consideration.
Presently New York schools have no requirement to teach students any sex education, be it abstinence or contraception. Even if a school chose to implement a sex education program there is no dedicated line of State funding. Some schools do teach sex ed but only at the discretion of the school district.
"Age appropriate and medically accurate sex education should be mandatory," stated Senator Krueger. "The statistics are quite scary and we cannot expect to change them if we do not provide schools with the funds they need."
The most recent study by the Center for Disease Control shows some staggering statistics:
v 1 in 4 teenage girls between 14 and 19 years old has contracted at least one of the most common STIs (human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, and trichomoniasis). African Americans teens were at the highest risk with almost 50% having contracted an STI.
v 40,000 of New York's teens will become pregnant this year, among the highest rate in the nation.
v 60% of high school seniors in New York will have sex before they graduate.
"This explosion of sexually transmitted disease will only worsen if Senator Bruno doesn't move this legislation now," stated Senator Krueger. "Our children need to be taught in their homes and their classrooms. This legislation also stresses that curricula be developed that encourages communication about sexuality issues between parents and children."
"We need a policy in this state that teaches our youth to make responsible decisions when they are thinking about becoming sexually active," concluded Senator Krueger. "Age-appropriate sex education will ensure that New York's teens are getting the information they need when they need to be learning it."

MT Opportunities
Building on stable foundations
by Grace Chan
As a city characterised by its built-up landscape and iconic high-rises, Hong Kong is not only a property developer's dream but also an ideal career launch pad for a great number of new graduates looking to build up a sky-scraping career.
Sino Group's 18-month management trainee (MT) programme, which has been running since 2003, aims to place such talented young career starters on a solid career path, guiding them to become future leaders in the business arena.
"Ongoing learning is an integral part of our MT programme. Trainees are provided with fresh perspectives which help them to approach professional maturity progressively," says Alice Ip, Associate director, group human resources, human resources department, Sino Land Company Limited.
Aside from honing the MTs' professional expertise, the training also prepares the ground for them to manage projects and build a wide people network via a meticulously balanced blend of formal classroom sessions and real-life practice in specific business, management and personal-development areas.
Every year, the company handpicked only 10 to 20 candidates out of more than a thousand applications. "With a total staff complement of about 10,000, we understand the need to cultivate a strong talent pipeline. The MT initiative provides recruits with all-round skills sets, preparing them for general management roles in 10 to 12 years' time," Ms Ip notes.
In addition to its strong presence in Hong Kong and Singapore, the group is also expanding its business across the border. "Therefore, we also recruit in mainland China, with the selected graduates joining their Hong Kong counterparts for training," she says, adding that the company has scheduled interviews with students from top mainland educational institutions, such as Shanghai's Fudan University and Peking University.
Structured training
At the core of the MT programme is a job-rotation schedule that introduces trainees to three of the company's key functions: marketing and corporate communications, leasing and property services. "Hands-on learning is essential, since this is how they're familiarised with our group's business and core values, particularly when it comes to excellence in customer service," Ms Ip remarks.
MTs are given the chance to participate in real-life projects such as property sales and handovers. "Through extensive exposure, they learn new skills and expand their horizons. As a result, we have an energetic new generation of employees who can think innovatively and contribute fresh ideas, for example, on using the internet to connect with our customers and market our products."
At the end of each attachment, the newcomers are asked to deliver presentations on their reflections and recommendations to the group's top executives. She adds, "Apart from learning, they're also expected to contribute. Our senior management team takes their proposals seriously and, in return, provides them with feedback to help them advance."
Participants are paired with senior managers who act as mentors, sharing their experience and providing advice and career guidance. "Trainees also attend seminars with their superiors, as part of the corporation's commitment to grooming them for future leadership positions," Ms Ip points out.
The programme concludes with a week-long study trip to a mainland city, where trainees are charged with drawing up individual business proposals, incorporating their own observations and suggestions. This, again, culminates in a presentation to the group's top leaders, demonstrating their business acumen, analytical skills and the learning outcomes.
Those that successfully complete the programme are assigned graduation placements with one of the group's business areas and placed on a career fast track. "Considering the steep learning curve, we're looking for graduates with a can-do attitude, determination and a positive mindset," Ms Ip emphasises.

ST. PETERSBURG — The chicken walked in while Mayor Bill Foster was in the middle of introducing himself.
"Somebody . . . in a chicken suit just came in," the mayor said, briefly losing his train of thought.
He — it appeared to be a rooster — made no introduction. Rather, he held a large yellow sign that read: "Kathleen Ford: Too chicken to debate Foster + Kriseman."
No one saved a chair for candidate Kathleen Ford at Tuesday night's mayoral forum, but then again, no one had to. For the second time this week, Ford, who is considered a serious contender in the city's mayoral race, skipped an invitation to debate her two opponents, the incumbent Foster and former state Rep. Rick Kriseman. She also will not attend the debate today at the Suncoast Tiger Bay Club.
But as is often the case when a candidate become a no-shows, her absence loomed large at the St. Petersburg LGBT Mayoral Debate, which was held at the Metro Wellness on Third Avenue N.
The moderator asked Foster and Kriseman to comment on Ford's absence.
"I can't speak ill of anyone, however," Foster said, "I think communication with the public that you want to serve and openness and transparency is of utmost importance. . . . So if this is a candidate's idea of openness and transparency, then I have a problem with that."
"We both have full-time jobs. We're here," Kriseman said. "So I think it's disappointing."
Even if voters went to Ford's campaign website, they would learn virtually nothing about her vision for the city, he said, as she has posted none of her views.
David Schauer, who has helped organize past St. Petersburg gay pride parades and put together the debate on Tuesday, said he had tried to accommodate Ford's schedule. Told she had an event at 6:30 p.m., he moved the forum to 7 p.m. Ford told him she'd try to make it, he said, adding that the chicken was not his idea.
Ford told the Tampa Bay Times that she had already committed to an event Tuesday night at the Crossroads Neighborhood Association.
The mayoral debate was only the second held by LGBT groups, and most of the questions revolved around the city's development, policing methods and what ought to be done about the crumbling Pier.
Members of the audience also asked what the candidates would do to keep the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg and why Jabil Circuit deserved a tax break for relocating its headquarters to the city's downtown without creating new jobs.
Throughout the debate, Krisemen tried to paint Foster as a downtown mayor focused only on the city's core to the exclusion of its neighborhoods.
"The investments in the city have not been equal," he said, accusing Foster of largely ignoring Midtown. The mayor countered that he is setting up a community redevelopment area that could spur redevelopment in low-income neighborhoods.
But before he could begin his introduction, Foster was asked whether he planned to take part in next year's pride parade.
His predecessor, Rick Baker, scorned the city's largest event, and Foster, who is a conservative Christian, has never been in the parade. Kriseman was one of its grand marshals last year and has been involved in the parade since its early days.
"Will I attend next year's parade? I will attend next year's parade. Will I be in it? No," Foster said.

the shortcut KMSpico to make the conversion, because the Service installed only activate VL.
Recommendations Optional:
- Disable Microsoft Security Updates.
- Make exceptions to Directory %ProgramFiles%KMSpico in Antivirus.
How This Program Works:
1. Run KMSELDI.exe
1.1. Check Products Installed.
1.2. Convert Retail to VL if it is necessary.
1.3. If it found a non-permanent product it will converted. (hacktivators based in modified dlls ARE NOT PERMANENT) (MAK or OEM keys are the only ones PERMANENT)

1.5. Activate for 180 days all VL products installed against the emulator.
1.6. Close emulator and KMSELDI.
2. Install Service KMSELDI
2.1. Every windows start or every 24 hours the service reactivate for 180 days (reset the count) with a random kms emulator.
2.2. Close emulator.
3. KMSELDI + Service KMSELDI = permanent.
This program activate any VL M$ product until now, requiere .NET Framework 4.
It is a smart tool, check if doesnt exist a legit permanent activation and then activate for 180 days or 30 days (WMC and Core Edition), later every day or every 24 hours reactive automatically reseting the 180 days period, that makes this activator permanent.

I'm am officially hooked on doing this pattern! This was so much fun to do and a learning experience! I used the original fabric along the outside for the border. It measures about 51 1/2 x 61 1/2 inches. Now all I need to do is get some batting and backing and finish it completely!
If any of you are thinking about trying it just get the book One Block Wonders by Maxine Rosenthal. It is so easy to follow and the instructions are great!

I think it will be that nice ST2 would allow comment lines inside any of the JSON config file. It would be great for documentation and easier to maintain.
I believe it does... there are comments in the default sublime-settings.If you change e.g. the font size or color scheme using the menus, though, Sublime Text will rewrite your user settings file and delete all comments.
Ah, you are right, it does supports '//' comment line! Thanks for pointing it out.

I was just wondering if im allowed to poast the raw installs that came with OS X Leopard?
well if I am: here they are.
You will need to remove "InstallationCheck" inside the package to install in Tiger.
Here is my disclamer for installing:
I don't thing any of the installs will work. I tryed to install them in Tiger after removind the "InstallationCheck" and it worked. BUT THE APPS WOULD NOT OPEN!
Sadly i cannot poast the apps, but if you get your hands on them they won't do you much good.
So, im not allowed to post the raw installs?

There is already quite a few differences between my first and my second playthrough and I haven't finished act 1 yet.
Also, ME isn't that great with choices. None affected the game itself and ME2 only had encounters and emails to reflect them. At least DA2 had quests attached to a lot of Origins/Awakening/DLC choices. I suspect DA3 will have the same for DA2 choices.

Orphan elephants trek home for milk
Young orphan elephants are led home for a milk feed after a trek through the bush involving a river crossing. They lifted their trunks up so that the tips of them were sticking out of the water to enable them to breath during the crossing.
The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya is home to 61 elephants that are being hand-reared to reintegrate into the wild. Many of their parents were killed by poachers and the orphans form deep social bonds with each other

Marin voters want water officials to keep studying desalination.
Marin Municipal Water District's plan for how to proceed with desalination proved popular with voters, appearing to beat out a rival measure that sought to tie up planning for the technology.
In late-night returns Measure S had collected about 5,000 more "yes" votes than Measure T; about 35,000 to 40,000 ballots, however, still needed to be counted.
Both measures received majority approval, but by virtue of receiving more votes the water district's Measure S was set to supersede Measure T.
Measure S requires a vote of the public before the water district can proceed with construction of a desalination plant, but it still would allow the district to spend up to $700,000 to plan for the technology.
Measure T -- an initiative placed on the ballot by desalination critics -- is similar to Measure S in that it also would require a vote of the public to proceed with construction of desalination, but it differed in that it would have prohibited the district from approving any contracts related to planning or building a plant.
"People want the ability to evaluate and study," said David Behar, water board president, who backed Measure S. "The politics of fear do not work in Marin."
Activist Dr. Bill Rothman of Belvedere, who led the charge on Measure T, claimed victory in defeat.
"What we wanted was the public right to vote on desalination, and that's what we have," he said. "It's certainly light years of improvement from what was going on before. The people won."
As the public debate grew over desalination -- which involves desalting bay water for human consumption -- foes gathered more than 15,000 signatures this spring to put the issue to voters. Opponents say the desalination process is too expensive, saps energy and can damage the bay as well as human health.
When the signatures were validated by the county elections office in June, the water district could have made the initiative law and avoided a vote. Instead, the district crafted its own measure that, if passed, would ease the initiative's proposed restrictions on desalination planning. The result was two measures.
Supporters argue the technology is safe and provides the county with a guaranteed source of water that could rescue the public and business if the county ever goes dry in a drought.
In August 2009, the water district board voted 4-0 to move forward with desalination with opportunities to abandon the project along the way. But in April, the board suspended work until it could get a better handle on declining water demand that even has district officials questioning its necessity.

Vera-Ellen visits here Wednesday
As the sun rules the day and the moon governs the night - a star took over Wadena yesterday to control the afternoon. It was the reappearance of the vivacious film star who has brightened Wadena's streets on two other occasions - Vera-Ellen. The dancing-singing blonde is the niece of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Maurer, and the graddaughter of Mrs. Mary Rohe of Wadena.
Vera-Ellen's appearance at Wadena on this occasion was an unexpected side-trip. Appearing at Minneapolis Tuesday night for the dedication of the Variety Club Heart hospital at the University of Minnesota, the trip here was arranged by Louis W. Orlove, of the publicity department of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pictures of Milwaukee, Wis.
The Wednesday visit was of short duration. She left here on train No. 2 for Minneapolis, where she took a plane for California. Upon her return to Hollywood she is scheduled to start production of a new picture, "Belle of New York," in which she stars with Fred Astaire. Her English production "Happy-Go-Lovely," which was made in England last summer will be released in about two months in this country. In the English drama she is starred with David Niven.

Your Relationship With Scotch
A long time ago, on a random Yahoo message board, I stumbled across an interesting conversation. In between all the trolls and spam, through the collective wisdom of the internet, I managed to pick up this thread that described the natural progression of the relationship between an aficionado and Scotch Whisky.
A recent conversation with a friend about the somewhat obscene collective amount I've spent on Scotch over the years made me recall this thread, but despite my best efforts I couldn't dig it up anywhere.
In the interest of those people just getting on to the slippery but oh-so-fulfilling slope that is Scotch whisky, I feel compelled to piece it together from memory. It just might save your marriage, relationship or at the very least, protect your finances. Jokes aside, let's look at how, like any other relationship, a relationship with Scotch too, can be split into 5 broad stages.
Stage 1- Curiosity
The novice tries a couple of varieties of Scotch, probably enjoys them, and is now curious and eager to explore this brave new world. Or perhaps he or she has just heard good things about Scotch, probably from people who are way past Stage 1.
Stage 2- Enthusiasm
Like any relationship, the Scotch enthusiast now takes the first steps towards a long-term commitment. Reading, researching, surfing, collecting. The unquenchable thirst for Scotch whisky (and information) leads to buying books, accessories, maps and other Scotland paraphernalia, and of course, bottles of Scotch.
This stage is often where denial first kicks in. Setting a budget and refusing to go over it, is one way enthusiasts pacify their guilt.
But sometimes, you need to go over budget, to get yourself that great bottle of Scotch whisky. And you find yourself making up excuses, justifying it as a one-time thing. Except it's not. And that's when you know you're sliding towards Stage 3.
Stage 3- Fanaticism
The fanatic sees a Scotch he wants, and gets it. His collection keeps growing at a breakneck speed. He's probably planning a trip to Scotland, or has already visited, and returned with suitcases full of bottles. And the online shopping. He probably has a separate credit card just for the Scotch purchases. Maybe he has a special room where he stores, and drinks his whisky.
Now, somewhere in stage 3, two distinct types of aficionados emerge. The connoisseur and the collector.
The connoisseur firmly believes that great Scotch, no matter how rare or expensive, is meant to be consumed. What good is Scotch if it's sitting on a shelf collecting dust? The connoisseur is generous and enjoys sharing a dram or two with friends.
The collector on the other hand hoards his bottles, puts them on a pedestal to worship and shows off his collection to the people who come over, probably while offering them some low-grade whisky to drink.
That's not to say that connoisseurs don't hoard too, but they're probably just saving it for a special occasion. Obviously, connoisseurs hate collectors. And vice versa.
Stage 4- Obsession
The obsessed Scotch drinker probably has collected more whisky than he can possibly drink in his lifetime. He probably also owns shares in a few distilleries. And can tell you more about Scotch than the manager of a distillery! Most likely single, or has a very understanding partner.
Stage 5- The Terminal Stage
This one is rarely seen, but usually involves grandiose plans of purchasing a distillery, or attempting to distill and blend Scotch oneself. I haven't seen anyone progress this far, but I know a few people who might just need a gentle nudge, like say, winning a lottery, to fall headfirst into Stage 5.
I've self-diagnosed as somewhere in Stage 3. How far along are you?
