With more than 25,000 kilometres of coastline – nearly 16,000 miles – British Columbia offers endless opportunities to simply walk up to the shore and drop a fishing line. Beach and shore fishing can mean float fishing, bottom fishing, fishing from piers and cliffs and riverbanks or fishing into the surf. It's possibly the easiest and most relaxing way to begin fishing in B.C.
The terminal gear and tackle will vary depending on the specific type of beach or shore fishing, but typically it will involve some form of weighted lure.
Beach and shore fishing typically uses traditional, monofilament line but braided line can also be used where rocks are likely to be encountered underwater. Line will tend to be lighter than for deep-water tidal fishing, since fish living near shore will tend to be smaller.
A wide variety of fishing rods are used in beach and shore fishing, depending on the species and location.
Spinning, baitcasting and fly fishing reels are typically used, depending on the species and location.

Wide range of child and adult abuse inquiries

Peter Wanless Home Office abuse review findings due
Anne on Tue 11 Nov 2014, 10:48 am
A report into how the Home Office, police and prosecutors dealt with claims of organised child abuse in the 1970s, 80s and 90s is being published.
The probe considered whether the Home Office conducted an adequate review last year into information passed on by the late Tory MP Geoffrey Dickens.
It is not thought to have uncovered glaring problems but will confirm files were destroyed in routine procedures.
Campaigners are now expected to call for a more wide-ranging investigation.
BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw says they are unlikely to accept that the findings of former senior civil servant, Peter Wanless - now chief executive of children's charity the NSPCC - settles the matter.
Mr Wanless's conclusions are being published as a wider inquiry into historical child sex abuse gets under way this week despite the resignation of its chairwoman, Fiona Woolf.
In 1983, Mr Dickens wrote to the then Home Secretary Leon Brittan to say he would expose eight public figures who he suspected of child abuse unless action was taken.
His information was said to contain the names of MPs and police officers who were suspected of being child abusers.
In 2013, the Home Office's senior civil servant Mark Sedwill commissioned a review into the department's handling of abuse allegations between 1979 and 1999, including the information provided by Mr Dickens.
It found no record of specific allegations by Mr Dickens of child sex abuse by prominent public figures but revealed the department had "lost or destroyed" 114 files.
In July, the current Home Secretary, Theresa May, asked Mr Wanless to examine this review, amid concerns about its integrity.
A source told the BBC's Newsnight last week that Mr Wanless's review could find no evidence the information compiled by Mr Dickens - the so-called "Dickens' dossier" - still exists.
Lord Brittan has dismissed claims he failed to act appropriately on Mr Dickens' claims as "completely without foundation"
The wider probe into historical child sex is one of a number of inquiries taking place into alleged child abuse, including the extent of abuse by Jimmy Savile at schools, NHS hospitals, care homes and the BBC.
City lawyer Fiona Woolf's resignation as the inquiry chairwoman came after victims' groups cited her social links with Lord Brittan.
Her predecessor in the role, Baroness Butler-Sloss, also resigned, similarly over her links with establishment figures.

Gary Glitter Denies Sex Abuse Allegations **UPDATE GUILTY 16 year sentence**
Martin Brunt has raised his head reporting on Gary Glitter allegations
Sky News transcript only.
The 70-year-old former pop star enters not guilty pleas to ten charges relating to three alleged victims in the 1970s and 1980s
Gary Glitter has appeared in court to face 10 charges of sexual offences against three girls.
The 70-year-old denied the charges, which related to alleged crimes committed in the 1970s and early 1980s, at Southwark Crown Court.
The former rock star, whose real name is Paul Gadd, listened to proceedings at the court using a hearing device.
He is accused of one count of attempted rape and another of indecent assault on one girl under the age of 13 in 1975.
He faces four charges of indecent assault on a second alleged victim when she was under the age of 13 in 1977.
Gadd, from Marylebone, central London, is also accused of allegedly giving the girl alcohol to "stupefy or overpower" her into having sex with him between January and May 1977.
And he faces one charge of unlawful intercourse with a girl aged under 13 between the same dates with the same alleged victim.
The final charge involve two counts of indecent assault on a third alleged victim who was under the age of 16 between October 1979 and December 1980.
Judge Alistair McCreath told Gadd the trial will begin on 12 January and is expected to last three weeks.
Gadd is currently on bail.
NO COVER UP FOUND in abuse review
candyfloss on Tue 11 Nov 2014, 11:53 am
'No cover-up found' in abuse review
A review has found no evidence that files relating to child abuse by prominent figures were "deliberately or systematically removed or destroyed".
The government asked NSPCC chief executive Peter Wanless to look into how the Home Office handled files alleging abuse from 1979-99.
His report said it was "not possible" to say whether files were removed to "cover up" organised abuse - but it found "nothing to support" such a concern.
Re: Wide range of child and adult abuse inquiries
Anne on Tue 11 Nov 2014, 12:36 pm
IMO cover up after cover up, closing ranks, no names no pack drill comes to mind. Somebody knows where copies of the Dickens Dossier are. This is very interesting
John Mann MP saw Dickens Dossiers - no-one believes they are 'lost'
John Mann MP talking on BBC radio about the Mysterious disappearing trick performed by the Home Secretary on the Dickens Dossiers. Listen Below
John saw the original Dickens Dossiers in the 80's as did many other people he tells us. He confirms though that the Dickens Dossiers were covered by the Official Secrets Act.
He also talked about the highly respected investigative journalist Don Hale who was given a copy by Barbara Castle MP when she was a cabinet Minister. These were stolen from him on threat of prison if he complained by Police Special Branch.
The Plot of this mystery is so ham so unbelievable if submitted as a script it would be cast out by any publisher. Simply no-one believes the Dickens Dossiers are Lost. I mean no-one and this carefully orchestrated drama costing the long suffering tax payer even more of their hard earned cash is just that a drama.
We are asked to believe the unbelievable because the Rt honourable this and the Sir this and the Sir that and a civil servant named Want less tells us so. Can anyone explain why Wanless is head of the NSPCC after a undistinguished career as a cover-up merchant for Michael Portillo?
The People are being asked to believe these fantasy merchants because they are a QC this and MBE that and so we as serfs must kowtow to our Lords and masters and hand them our kids to bugger, rape and murder. And we must stop complaining that we have to pay for all these pointless investigations designed to find no evidence against our Lords and Masters.
Then there is the copy given to Andrea Davison stolen by two thieves which turned up in the hands of Andrew West Manchester Crown Prosecution Service.
We all know that MI5 have the files, lets have a bit of transparency. We know exactly where the files and evidence of CSA is located.
Poppy on Tue 11 Nov 2014, 9:41 pm
I hope the likes of Thatcher,Sa vile and others are sat on a very lonely rock surrounded by fire and a BIG black hole beneath them for their disrespect of innocent abused victims, and I hope the scum bags who still cover for them to this day follow suite.
Mimi on Tue 11 Nov 2014, 10:43 pm
Thanks for posting that Anne.
Problem with MI5 is that half the time they are the ones who lure these dodgy MPs into situations where they can be blackmailed.
Lioned on Tue 11 Nov 2014, 10:54 pm
Some say Thatcher used her 'knowledge' to keep her cabinet in line.
Another review which was pretty much set up to fail from the start.
If those dossiers are still around,which i doubt,then the search and destroy team will be well busy.
Just always reminds me of the quote from David Steel (or his spokesoffice) about cyril smith doing no worse than smacking a few bottoms.
That would probably be a fair reflection of the mentality doing the rounds at that time.

Are you saying that Margaret Thatcher was aware that her Home Secretary was abusing children and did nothing about it?

From the above article this one guy wasn't in her Cabinet and claimed it was consenting adults.
It is a very unfair claim to make against anyone let alone a dead person without any evidence .

The article you referenced doesn't back up your initial comment about Thatcher that she used her "knowledge" to keep her cabinet in line.
The bodyguard Barry Strevens said,
"I am sure he would have given her assurances about the rumours as otherwise she wouldn't have given him the job."

I was talking to my mate Stavros last night down the Bengal Butler about that and he recons you can trust a cabbie but never trust a chauffeur.Its a class thing apparently.

Interesting news today though that the Elm Guest House (Fernbridge) has also now become a 'Homicide' investigation.
Seems to suggest that things are moving on behind the scenes.

Certainly the Police announcing a move towards 'Homicide' is a major step.
Need to be cautious remember the North Wales stuff and Jillings/Waterhouse.Steve Messham went very quiet after the Mccalpine debacle.
Need more than a few witnesses to come out of the woodwork now.
Former Radio 1 DJ Chris Denning admits further charges of sexually assaulting young boys after being arrested under Operation Yewtree
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2834682/Former-Radio-1-DJ-Chris-Denning-admits-charges-sexually-assaulting-young-boys-arrested-Operation-Yewtree.html#ixzz3J4IwWQNg
Judge Alistair McCreeth vacated Denning's trial date and remanded him in custody. He is to be sentenced on December 9.
Mr Ubhey said: 'I am pleased that the guilty pleas mean a potentially lengthy trial has been avoided and the victims will not be required to give evidence.'
Dressed in a grey coat with orange shoulder pads, Denning looked frail and ill as he struggled to hear what was going on in the courtroom.
Denning suffers from a number of illnesses including Parkinson's disease and diabetes. He suffered a heart attack in 2009 and struggles to walk after fracturing his spine.
The former DJ was arrested in April last year by detectives from Scotland Yard's Operation Yewtree in the aftermath of the Jimmy Savile paedophile scandal.
His prosecution follows those of other celebrities such as Rolf Harris, Max Clifford and Dave Lee Travis.
Denning, who left the BBC in 1969, was first convicted for gross indecency and indecent assault in 1974, at the Old Bailey, but escaped imprisonment.
Before his conviction Denning had been working for Jonathan King's newly founded UK Records. King sacked him after the guilty verdict.
Since then Denning has been in and out of prisons in England and Europe, with sentences including 18 months in 1985, three years in 1988, three months in 1996, four years in a Czech prison in 1998, four years in 2006 and five years in jail in Slovakia in 2008.
Denning was part of a group of men, including former BBC radio DJ Jonathan King who preyed on young boys at the Walton Hop, a '70s teenage disco.
All offences related to sexual assaults on young boys or producing child pornography.
According to police some of these offences took place while he owned a computer shop in Dorset in the 1980s.
The boys would be lured to the computer shop, which sold Commodore computers, where he would offer them work and then take advantage of them.
One of the assaults took place in a camper van.
Denning left his London grammar school aged 15 and began his radio career at Radio Moscow after talking his way into the studios while on holiday.
As a young man he boasted of being a globetrotter who drove to India and broadcast from France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal and Czechoslovakia.
He went on to work for Radio Luxembourg and Radio London before presenting Where It's At with Kenny Everett on the BBC's Light Programme.
In 1964 he was a BBC2 announcer whose voice was the first heard when the TV channel took to the air.
Three years later he became one of the original DJs on BBC Radio 1. After leaving the BBC he worked for record label Decca for two years.
Over the years he has lived in Bracknell, Berkshire, Addlestone and Weybridge in Surrey, and Teddington in South London.
When he was arrested in April 2013 he was living in a homeless shelter.

If Phillip Schofield hadn't been such a twat and done his homework properly then he may have realised he got the wrong Mcalpine,though the RH Lord had his legal reps at the Waterhouse enquiry just in case.
Probably set the cause back months if not years,pulling the attention towards the internet nutters/Gossip again.
All this is linked and good signs that the police know it putting it under one umbrella.
The few MP's speaking out need all our suport now.

There is a little more information coming out this morning on the James O'Brien show on LBC regarding the now 'Homicide' enquiries.
(At this point i should say i am no great fan of James O'Brien on account of his unrelenting support of the mccanns every time that subject comes up)
However,when it comes to these 'high level' child abuse investigations he is like a dog with a bone,he has declared certain things in his past experience that may explain that to some extent.
He also gives much credit to Xaro news for their work in this regard.
It transpires that the now Homicide investigations come as a direct result of a call he received from someone he calls 'Nick' who made extremely emotional claims about his past abuse by a VIP peadophile ring including murder carried out by a Tory MP.
Now these claims are being 'aired' on the James O'Brien show right now (12.20pm - 17th Nov).
If you miss it there may be a 'podcast' later

The 'assaults' alleged to have been going on from 1979 throughout the eighties.
Claims to have been picked up with other boys by Chauffer driven cars and taken to luxury town house in London,thought to be Dolphine Square where many MP's reside at the time.Claims to have seen a 12 year old boy strangled by Tory MP.Also claims a Tory cabinet minister and another MP raped him and another boy.
Claims now include three 'murders'.
Labour MP John Mann claims he gave evidence of 'abuse' party's to the MET who did nothing but claims to have been told orders from 'high up' blocked any action.Tom Watson now calling for a National police enquiry.

The Dark forces must be very busy closing ranks behind the scenes wondering how to contain this.
If its just the one accuser (Nick -not his real name) then it could be pushed aside like Steve Messham was.
It is almost impossible to imagine that succesive PM's have not known of this (the rumours at least).
There is a different environment for them to deal with as the Social Media just wont shut up and there is an increasing number of 'non nutters' joining in !

The Royal Family and Margaret Thatcher were as much to blame as the BBC for failing to stop Jimmy Savile's "unspeakable" crimes, Noel Edmonds has suggested.
The television presenter, who worked with Savile at the Corporation, said the whole establishment was implicated for allowing the paedophile DJ to flourish.
"Savile was in deep with the Royals, with Mrs Thatcher, with the hospitals and with Broadmoor.
"There's a whole establishment that let him into its heart. Not just the BBC."

Ferrofluids are comprised of magnetic nanoparticles suspended throughout a liquid carrier. They have been used in industrial applications for years. Now a team of researchers has developed a biocompatible ferrofluid—one with the right pH level and salinity so that human cells can survive in it for several hours—and has created a device with integrated electrodes that generate a magnetic field pattern, allowing them to manipulate and separate red blood cells, sickle cells and bacteria contained in this unique solution.
The magnetic field attracts the nanoparticles in the ferrofluid, effectively pushing and shuffling the much larger, nonmagnetic cells along specific channels. Depending on the frequency of the magnetic field they apply, the researchers are also able to manipulate and sort different types of cells depending on their size, elasticity and shape.
"It is like the cells are surfing on magnetic forces," lead researcher Hur Koser said. "When we turn on the magnetic field, the nonmagnetic cells are pushed immediately up to the top of the channel." There, they roll along the surface and can be quickly directed toward a sensor.
Being able to effectively sort and move cells with this technique could allow for much greater efficiency in disease detection by directing diseased cells toward sensors. Many of today's tests require hours or even days to complete, because the concentration of diseased cells in a blood sample may be so low that it takes a long time for them to randomly bump into the sensors.
Koser hopes that one day the new technique will lead to portable sensors that doctors can carry into the field and which could be used to test for a range of disorders, such as cancer and HIV. "Anything you can put into the ferrofluid solution is potentially detectable in this manner."

A Supreme Court ruling Thursday striking down limits on corporate political spending will be felt in election campaigns across the country this fall, especially in close Senate races like those predicted for Missouri and Illinois.
Illinois reform advocates say the ruling probably couldn't be used to challenge the new limits on state-level campaign donations that take effect next year because those limits apply only to donations of cash and services, not independent expenditures made on behalf of candidates.
But Kent Redfield, professor emeritus of political science at UIS and one of the proponents pushing the state to implement more limits, said the ruling could stymie future attempts by reformers to impose stronger restrictions in other areas.
Redfield's comments were featured in the January 22, 2010, St. Louis Post-Dispatch.


In 2008 a Presbyterian minister, speaking at the Banner of Truth ministers' Conference in Leicester, offended some Baptists by referring to "Reformed Baptists" and then adding, "If there is such a thing." Was he justified in making this remark? Were Baptists justified in taking offence at it?
Before the advent of television there used to be a radio programme entitled 'The Brains Trust'. In this popular programme a team of experts fielded questions sent in by listeners. A regular member of the panel was the late Professor C. E. M. Joad, who, when a question was put to him, frequently prefaced his answer by saying, "Well, it all depends what you mean by …" He was very wise. If only Christians were as discriminating.
Many Baptists claim the adjective 'Reformed' without defining what they mean by it, and often without even thinking what they mean by it. By the term 'Baptists' I mean all who hold that the church consists only of true believers, and therefore baptize only believers by immersion, whether they use the term 'Baptist' or not. So this would include many independent evangelical churches. Such churches would generally hold to the autonomy of the local church and also the separation of church and state, which the Reformed usually do not.
In 1986 Dr. Kenneth H. Good, a Baptist scholar, published a book with the intriguing title, "Are Baptists Reformed?" (Loraine, Ohio: Regular Baptist Heritage Fellowship, 394 pages). He carefully distinguished between General (Arminian) Baptists and Particular (Calvinistic) Baptists, and then pointed out those areas in which the latter differed from the Reformed. In a nutshell, while such Baptists are Reformed in soteriology, they are not Reformed in ecclesiology. In other words, they believe in election, predestination and particular redemption, but not in the "mixed multitude" membership of Episcopal and (most) Presbyterian churches. They reject infant baptism and hold to the autonomy of the local church and the separation of church and state. Dr Good spends some time in discussing the American Baptist scene, especially the difficulty in choosing a title for a church or grouping that accurately defines what the church, or churches within the group, believe. Much of what he says on this subject is not particularly relevant outside the USA. The bulk of the book is taken up with demonstrating that Baptists differ from the Reformed in their views of the Word of God, in their views of the church considered as an organism, in their views of the church considered as an organization, and in their philosophy of history. With regard to the first of these Dr. Good acknowledges that the Reformed Confessions have excellent statements on the inspiration and authority of Scripture, but argues that, like the Roman Catholic church, the Reformed often place more weight upon what the Confessions say rather than what the Scriptures teach.
Lest that statement should be doubted, let me give a recent example. A Baptist minister was talking to a Reformed minister about the latter's view that all infants who die in infancy, whatever their background, are automatically saved (I am not at this point discussing the truth or otherwise of that view). The Baptist then said, "So you believe in universalism, so long as they are young enough?" When the Reformed minister blenched, the Baptist asked him, "What Scriptures do you base your views on?" The Reformed minister replied, "I do not base my view on Scripture but on the Westminster Confession.
The trouble is many young men go to theological college and accept without question the ready-made theology that is handed down to them. That is what I call "off-the-peg theology". By that designation I do not mean to suggest for one moment that we should all have a custom made theology to suit our own preferences or personality. Rather I use the term to highlight the fact that so often statements of theology are accepted without question as long as they come from within out own circle. Unlike the Bereans, we do not search the Scriptures to see whether those things are so (Acts 17:11).
Obviously we cannot all re-write the massive theology that has been handed down to us; we cannot re-invent the wheel, but we can at least examine our wheels to make sure they are round and not square! Perhaps "hand-me-down theology" would be a better description. It is only too easy to accept, and even vigorously defend, a theology which we have never carefully compared with Scripture. If, as Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living," perhaps the unexamined theology may not be worth holding.
In these days we have become rather careless in our use of such terms as 'Reformed' and 'Calvinistic'. The word 'Reformed' is bandied about almost as though it were a synonym of 'orthodox', or a shorthand term for "really, really sound." Perhaps Dr. Kenneth Good was right in asking the question, "Are Baptists Reformed?" If you can ignore the irrelevant bits, and put up with the wordiness and occasional repetition of some points, you may find Dr. Good's book worth its weight in gold dust. Unfortunately the book is out of print, so, like gold dust, it is not only valuable, but rare.

Great post! I was thinking about pegs and how if you take your clothes 'off the peg' from the washing line, they still have the creases in and don't look as nice. If you care for your clothes, you take them off the line and then iron them, getting rid of the creases (bad theology).
I agree with you that beliefs are typically handed down to us, by our parents, pastors, teachers, etc, and that we don't always test them against what the Bible says. However, the bigger issue is how do we decide what is correct when different people interpret the Bible in different ways. For example, despite what some may, both calvinists and arminians believe that their approach is Biblical, and can do anything from quote proof-texts to write huge theological volumes in support of their mutually-exclusive positions. Is there any way we will ever know what is right this side of heaven?
This is certainly a problem. We are all fallible human beings, and our interpretations are somewhat influenced by our background, our experiences, our friends, our education, etc. However, I believe that true evangelicals have much more in common than the things over which they disagree. One thing I have noticed is that many Christians have Scripture verses they wish were not in the Bible because they tend to undermine their position. For example, some Arminians would like to avoid the plain meaning of such verses as Ephesians 1:4, 5, 11 and Romans 8:29, 30. On the other hand some Calvinists are embarrassed by such verses as John 1:29 and I John 2:2. Moreover, the very terms "Arminian" and Calvinist" are capable of a wide variety of interpretations. For example, John Calvin frequently asserted that Christ died for the whole world, though of course he believed that only the elect would be saved. In other words, the death of Christ was sufficient for the whole world, but efficient for only the elect. It all depends on how you define "died for" the world. Later "Calvinists" would deny that Christ died for all and ignore what Calvin wrote on this topic.


Along with kitchens and bathrooms, basements are also the part of the house where humidity is the common issue. In another article which we explained and tips when you want to pick up a best small dehumidifier for bathroom. You can check it out now if you are also looking for one. In this article, we will go to a another area, that is basement, some tricks and how to pick up a best small dehumidifier for basement.
As you know that Many sources are present in the basement to make the air humid. The low temperature of basements and lack of air circulation makes it difficult for the moisture to dry out quickly. One article earlier we mentioned top 10 best dehumidifier for basement and if you want a small unit, now we come to more particular thing for one of them.
Basements are seldom used so most of the times people neglect this problem. And once mold and mildew settle their huge colonies around the damp and dark corners of the basements, they could go unnoticed for ages. The dry walls, wood, and insulation around the basements are the most favorite places for mold to grow. Condensation, flooding and water leaks increase the moisture content of the air. Soon, the basements start wafting off irksome musty smells that afterward fills the entire home affecting the health.
Which one is best small dehumidifier for basement on market now?
For solving the problem, dehumidifiers are purchased. They come in various types, sizes and have the capacity to absorb moisture from the air in different amounts. If the basement is small or medium-sized, Frigidaire FFAD3033R1 is a one kind of best small basement dehumidifier that is suitable.
This portable 30-pint dehumidifier possesses all the features found in any 50-pint or 70-pint model. It is highly energy efficient. It successfully put an end to the excessive moisture filling the basement. This put a stop to the growth of mold, mildew, and the musty smell that later follows. This small dehumidifier has a simple, much better and durable built than other 30-pint dehumidifiers. The materials used in manufacturing are sturdier in comparison with the other 30-pint dehumidifiers available in the market.
It removes 30-pints of moisture within 24 hours.
Frigidaire FFAD3033R1 dehumidifier weighs only 34 lbs. This is 20 pounds less than any 50-pint or 70-pint Frigidaire dehumidifier. If the portability is a desire, this portable dehumidifier is the best option. It has integrated side handles and rolling casters.
The dehumidifier draws only 320 watts of power when the humidity level is maximum. This is 100 watts less than its predecessor.
Frigidaire FFAD3033R1 is the best choice of best small and portable dehumidifier among the 30-pint dehumidifiers for those who are looking for a unit that produces very less sound. It's a very quiet compressor based dehumidifier. On low fan speed, it's noise output is 46.1dB.
Durable and sturdier materials are used in its construction. Its small size makes it possible to fit it into constricted places.
It has a front pull-out 7.6-pint moisture collecting tank with a handle and a splash guard.
It comes with a digital control panel with an LED display.
It features three fan speeds: high, medium and low. So, one can set the fan speeds depending upon the severity of the humidity problem.
Effortless humidity control lets users control the exact percentage of humidity in the basement or room.
Ready-Select controls to select options easily.
It features a 24 hour Auto-Off timer.
If the dehumidifier is located near a drain, continuous drainage of water is possible. It relieves a user from the effort of emptying the water tank frequently.
It features an Effortless full tank alert system that warns you of the level of water in the tank.
The filters available are washable that prevents the odors of mold and mildew from spreading.
When the small dehumidifier FFAD3033R1 unit is turned on, the fan starts pulling the humid air from the basement. It comes with three fan speeds are high, medium and low. Then the humid air passes through the heating coil that dries out the moisture. Once the air doesn't contain any more moisture, it is thrown back into the room.
The unit is highly portable and can be moved easily because of its light weight.
It is energy star rated as it draws comparatively less power than other small dehumidifiers.
The unit is very quiet. It can be used anywhere around the house even in the bedrooms.
It comes with similar features as Frigidaire 50-pint and 70-pint dehumidifiers.
It doesn't feature a defrost mode.
The water tank is to be emptied often because if its smaller size.
The Frigidaire FFAD3033R1 dehumidifier has earned positive feedback from its users. And now FFAD3033R1 still be top 10 of best small dehumidifier for basement. People are immensely satisfied with its performance and efficiency and 62% of the users have rated it with 5-stars. This alone is the evidence of the effectiveness of the product. So, for small and medium-sized basements, this dehumidifier will eliminate the moisture and tackles mold and mildew problems.

Q: Determining if a list numbers are sequential I'm working in Java.  I have an unordered list of 5 numbers ranging from 0-100 with no repeats.  I'd like to detect if 3 of the numbers are sequential with no gap.
Examples:
[9,12,13,11,10] true
[17,1,2,3,5] true
[19,22,23,27,55] false

As for what I've tried, nothing yet.  If I were to write it now, I would probably go with the most naive approach of ordering the numbers, then iteratively checking if a sequence exists.

A: int sequenceMin(int[] set) {
    int[] arr = Arrays.copy(set);
    Arrays.sort(arr);
    for (int i = 0; i < arr.length - 3 + 1; ++i) {
        if (arr[i] == arr[i + 2] - 2) {
            return arr[i];
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

This sorts the array and looks for the desired sequence using the if-statement above, returning the first value.

Without sorting:
(@Pace mentioned the wish for non-sorting.) A limited range can use an efficient "boolean array", BitSet. The iteration with nextSetBit is fast.
    int[] arr = {9,12,13,11,10};
    BitSet numbers = new BitSet(101);
    for (int no : arr) {
        numbers.set(no);
    }
    int sequenceCount = 0;
    int last = -10;
    for (int i = numbers.nextSetBit(0); i >= 0; i = numbers.nextSetBit(i+1)) {
        if (sequenceCount == 0 || i - last > 1) {
            sequenceCount = 1;
        } else {
            sequenceCount++;
            if (sequenceCount >= 3) {
                System.out.println("Sequence start: " + (last - 1));
                break;
            }
        }
        last = i;
    }
    System.out.println("Done");

A: Very naive (but faster) algorithm : (your array is input[], assuming it only contains 0-100 numbers as you said)
int[] nums=new int[101];
for(i=0;i<N;i++)
   {
   int a=input[i];
   nums[a]++;
   if (a>0) { nums[a-1]++; }
   if (a<100) { nums[a+1]++; }
   }

Then look if there is an element of nums[]==3.
Could be faster with some HashMap instead of the array (and removes the 0-100 limitation)

Edit : Alas, this does NOT work if two numbers could be equal in the initial sequence

A: This code seems to be implementing your requirements:
public class OrderdedList {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(orderedWithNoGap(Arrays.asList(9, 12, 13, 11, 10))); // true
        System.out.println(orderedWithNoGap(Arrays.asList(17,1,2,3,5))); // true
        System.out.println(orderedWithNoGap(Arrays.asList(19,22,23,27,55))); // false
    }

    private static boolean orderedWithNoGap(List<Integer> list) {
        Collections.sort(list);
        Integer prev = null;
        int seq = 0;
        for(Integer i : list) {
            if(prev != null && prev+1 == i)
                seq = seq == 0 ? 2 : seq+1;
            prev = i;
        }
        return seq >= 3;
    }

}

A: Allocate an array of size 100:
private static final int MAX_VALUE = 100;

public boolean hasSequence(int [] values) {
  int [] bigArray = new int[MAX_VALUE];

  for(int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
    bigArray[values[i]] = 1;
  }

  for(int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
    index = values[i];
    if(index == 0 || index == MAX_VALUE-1) {
      continue;
    }
    if(bigArray[index-1] == 1 && bigArray[index+1] == 1) {
      return true;
    }
  }

  return false;
}

A: General Algorithm steps.
Step 1. Sort the array.
Step 2. There are only 3 possible groups of 3 (next to each other) in an array of length five.
indexes 0,1,2 - 1,2,3 - 2,3,4.
Step 3. Check these 3 combinations to see if the next index is 1 more than the current index.

A: As OP pointed out in comment, he want to check if list contains 3 or more sequential numbers
public class WarRoom {

    static final int seqCount = 3;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>((Arrays.asList(9, 11, 123, 511, 10)));
        for (int i : list) {
            if (seqNumbers(list, i, 0) >= seqCount) {
                System.out.println("Lucky Numbers : " + (i++) + "," + (i++) + "," + i);
            }
        }
    }

    public static int seqNumbers(List<Integer> list, int number, int count) {
        if (list.contains(number)) {
            return seqNumbers(list, number + 1, count + 1);
        }
        else {
            return count;
        }
    }
}

Its not one of the most efficient solution but I love recursion!

A: Haven't test this, but for small memory footprint you could use a BitSet
private static boolean consecutive(int[] input) {
    BitSet bitSet = new BitSet(100);
    for (int num : input) {
        bitSet.set(num);
    }

    bitSet.and(bitSet.get(1, bitSet.length())); // AND shift left by 1 bit
    bitSet.and(bitSet.get(1, bitSet.length())); // AND shift left by 1 bit

    return !bitSet.isEmpty();
}

Another point is that we were more aggressive than Chelsea and I love to see that. We've got some bite again and that's great to see. Ole's done great again.
Shame it's another away game but at least we avoided City.
Well we avoided City but got Wolves away which will be tricky, they're a good team.
I'm relieved to avoid Millwall out of all the teams. It's purely because I absolutely can't stand them or their fans. Wolves are a good team and it will be tricky but we've been brilliant away and I think we'll be ok.
Forgot to say how good Romero was, solid.
Wolves away was probably the third hardest possible draw (after City away and city at home) but we can do them.
First time we've beaten Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs away from home in the same season since 1984/85 apparently.
Hardly had anything to do but always reliable when called upon. Without question the best back-up keeper in the league.
Definitely. Credit to him for sticking around because he could easily be first choice at a lot of other clubs.
I genuinely expected us to get city away! After arsenal and Chelsea away it would make the bloody set!
A United win at Chelsea was something he didn't see for his last 10 years in charge - before that last one - so it was a rare sight for him to enjoy!
The Wolves game has the potential to be a cracker, and could go either way. If we defend as well as we did tonight, I'd fancy us.
Highly impressive tactical display from Solskjaer, this evening. Bodes well.
I was thinking that too, but it's City; they have to have an easy draw, so that would rule us out at the moment.
Saying that, Wolves are going to be difficult to beat and they've got home advantage too.
We're completely transformed from the Mourinho era and it just begs the question, what was he doing?
I couldn't trust us to beat an egg under him, yet under Solskjaer, every upcoming game, I think, bring it on.
United fans scared of having to face City...? How times have changed.
"City play to win derbies, United play to win trophies."
"Manchester derbies will never be as important to United as matches against Liverpool."
City have won three Premier League titles since he came out with that zinger...!!
It's not beyond the bounds of possibility they could make it four this season.
Cat got your tongue, Sralex...?
I presume Wolves v United will be the BBC's first pick of the ties?
Anyway we can the FA Cup on the back burner for now and concentrate on putting a huge dent in Liverpool's title hopes this weekend.
City and Spurs would be delighted if United beat Liverpool.
City have that not unimportant "extra point" of goal difference going for them. In a tight title race it could be the difference between winning the league and finishing second. Just like in 2012.
10 "extra points" to be precise .
Feel free to go troll elsewhere.
Ole has to be permanent manager. Critics like Paul Ince compare Ole to Shakespeare and Di Matteo but have left out managers that have been successful with limited managerial experience in recent times like Zidane and Guardiola.
Makes me laugh how Ince has been saying he could do the same job that Ole has been doing lol, seems very bitter.
How times change. For me that was the best performance I have seen from any premiership side all season. Can't wait till the weekend.
Have you noticed that times have changed?
City never even used to be good enough to be also-rans, but now they're one of the best sides in Europe, so it's understandable that some United fans might want to avoid them.
It's easy to belittle people in hindsight; almost as easy as sitting on the fence in the beginning.
I wouldn't go that far, but certainly it was as good a collective defensive display as I've seen from us in years, and I'm talking before Fergie packed in as well.


ALCHEMY. It's a word that conjures up images of charlatans and quackery, of quasi-mythical men poring over steaming cauldrons trying to turn lead into gold. It's an image that is worlds apart from modern chemical engineering, carried out in a sleek contractor's office, in a modern laboratory or on a heavy industrial site – factual, precise, auditable.
And yet it can be argued that modern chemical engineering takes its root in precisely the bubbling cauldrons full of miracle cures inhabited by the 17th century alchemist.
Glauber certainly was an interesting figure, a clear and practical thinker who advocated using carefully-constructed experiments to prove hypotheses, a hands-on engineer who designed much of his own equipment and developed tests that are still being used in analytical chemistry.
Glauber was born in Karlstadt in what was then the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1604 into a large family. His father was a barber, a profession that at the time entailed a number of medical functions – barbers would carry out bleeding, leeching, administer enemas, extract teeth and dispense a variety of salves.
Unlike most alchemists and scholars of his time, Glauber was neither an aristocrat nor rich. Glauber attended school but did not finish it, and records suggest that he never even took an apprenticeship.
Today, Glauber is probably best remembered as the discoverer of 'Glauber's salt' (sodium sulphate) – a laxative that was much milder than the available alternatives at the time, and highly prized by physicians at a time when purges were recommended to cure all kind of ailments.
He discovered his so-called 'sel mirabile' in 1625 after contracting a disease, possibly spotted typhus, which for some time after caused nausea and vomiting. The people of the city of Naples, where his travels had taken him to at the time, recommended that he visit a local miracle spring and drink from the water, which they assured him would restore his appetite. Glauber was sceptical but nevertheless took the advice. To his considerable surprise, the miracle cure worked: having drunk from the water, Glauber's appetite returned and his health soon improved.
Most people would have accepted the cure, perhaps with a prayer of thanks, and thought nothing more of it. Not so Glauber – his natural curiosity gave him no rest until he had isolated and understood the curative properties of the water.
Locals ascribed the water's effect to the natural presence of saltpetre (KNO3). After spending an entire winter evaporating the spring water and analysing the salts, Glauber found no evidence of saltpetre in the water; instead he found his sel mirabile, sodium sulphate.
The Works – an English translation of Glauber's most important work – was published in 1689. It contains details of many of the processes and apparatuses he developed.
In the 1909 book A Science-history of the Universe, Francis Rolt-Wheeler comments: "Glauber enriched chemistry in an eminent degree by his discoveries. In attacking the question of the composition of bodies, he commenced by considering the conditions under which certain salts were produced, and the products of their mutual decomposition. Instead of preparing the chlorides of metals as heretofore, by heating the metal with sublimate (mercuric chloride), he treated the metal directly with hydrochloric acid, and concluded that the salt produced was merely a solution of the metal in the acid. This was a convincing blow to the time-honored idea that the mercury of the sublimate had entered into the composition of the chlorides obtained.
He further described the production of sulphate of ammonia (also known as 'sel ammoniacum secretum Glauberi'), discovered nitrate of ammonia and arsenic chloride, proved that copper sulphate could be obtained by boiling copper with oil of vitriol, and was the first to observe and describe a double decomposition.
Glauber is also credited with developing the flame test, used to identify the metal of an unknown ionic salt depending on the colour the salt turns the flame of a Bunsen burner. The test is still used by analytical chemists today.
His claim to be a chemical engineer rests mostly on his work to improve processing equipment – specifically furnaces and distillation devices. Specifically, in 1646 he built the first distilling furnaces to incorporate a chimney, which reached much greater temperatures than previous designs.
He also experimented in producing an artificial fertiliser, using tartar derived from wine, and worked on medicines against scurvy and processes for preserving rations for the seafarers of the Dutch East India Company.
His focus on backing up theory with practical experiments and for turning scientific advances into practical marketable products make Glauber a forerunner of modern chemistry and chemical engineering.
In addition to his work as a chemist and alchemist, Glauber was the author of some 30 treatises which dealt with chemistry but in its broader context. Of these, one of the best-remembered is Teutschlands Wohlfahrt (Germany's success), in which he argued for countries to exploit their own natural resources. To help Germany recover from the strains of the 30-year war, Glauber suggested the country concentrate on exporting wine and beer, and suggested some stable concentrates suitable for export.
His verbose and self-important style made him a controversial figure during his lifetime and the years after; he appears to have made as many bitter enemies as he made adoring fans. The former would criticise him for being "an extremely untidy, verbose and often obscure author" who was "too fond of praising himself and posing as a benefactor of mankind in general and Germany in particular", while the latter heralded him as "a founder of chemical technology" and "the German Robert Boyle" (one of the founders of modern chemistry).
The latter comparison is probably unfair: while Boyle is well-remembered for his systematic approach and firm belief in scientific principle, Glauber's writing has been described as "spectacularly unorganised" with "defensive contempt of theory and method". In his latter years he turned his back on practical experimental chemistry and became more of a classical alchemist, engaged in contemplative mysticism, studying the transmutation of metals and the secret fires of the Earth.
Glauber's legacy however lives on. While his personality no doubt attracted controversy, and his methods were sometimes a little suspect, his focus on backing up theory with practical experiments and for turning scientific advances into practical marketable products – even to the point of designing process equipment to achieve his goals – make Glauber a forerunner of modern chemistry and chemical engineering.


Elephant 6 alumni The Music Tapes graced the 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA on Saturday May 27 in support of their new EP The Orbiting Human Circus (Merge Records).
The concrete floor has padding and is covered in canvases. We all sit on the floor. The bell tolls and we are afraid until the voice tells us everything will be alright.
Julian Koster (The Janitor) appears. He gives us the warmest welcome you could ever ask for. His energy invites us to relax, even go to sleep if we want. We travel back to childhood. The Janitor shares with us his childhood experiences and a very special red cassette tape. The lights are like Tiffany glass.
We are enveloped in warmth, in love. The banjo hides behind a broom and the saw sings to us. We see the shadow of a bear, who reveals himself slowly. A bird who could be a distant cousin to the animatronic one in Fellini's Casanova is treated to a serenade by his janitor friend. We watch the shadows and the fireflies.
Julian knows magic, and now we know it too.
If you have or can appreciate a childlike sense of wonder and awe and find yourself in Athens, GA on Saturday May 27, there is a show happening at the 40 Watt Club that you must see: Elephant 6 alumni The Music Tapes will perform in support of their new EP The Orbiting Human Circus (Merge Records).

Commission Music is releasing Teen Vice's Saddest Summer EP this July 14th. The NYC based rock band consisting of Tammy Hart (guitars, vocals), Joshua Ackley (bass, vocals), May Dantas (guitars, vocals) and Derek Pippin (drums).
If Hart's name sounds familiar, that's because when she was 18 years old, she signed to Mr. Lady Records, and toured as a supporting act for Le Tigre. She also formed post punk band GangWay! (featuring members of the band No Age), before moving to New York to form Winning Looks and Making Friendz. When not hanging out with Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre), she's appearing with JD Samson (MEN, Le Tigre).
If you're a big Grrrls fan, you should check out Teen Vice. The band will be playing some of the new songs with with legendary punk band The Red Aunts on June 4th in Brooklyn, New York.

Waukegan Father Who Held Daughter In Basement Asks For Reduced Bond
Filed Under:child abuse, DCFS, Katherine Swopes, Lake County Jail, Randy Swopes, Waukegan
CHICAGO (CBS)—Waukegan father Randy Swopes, accused in July of locking his daughter in a basement because he believed she was possessed is still in custody, but he's asking for a new court hearing to get his bond lowered.
Swopes, 48, and his wife Katherine Swopes, 49, were arrested on July 17 and charged with unlawful restraint and child endangerment.
Randy Swopes, 48, and Katherine Swopes, 49, were charged with unlawful restraint and child endangerment.
Police and prosecutors said the couple kept their 10-year-old daughter locked in the basement because they believed she was possessed by a demon.
Swopes, who underwent a mental evaluation while in custody, is being held on $750,000 bond and was ordered not to have contact with his wife. She has since been released from Lake County Jail.
The Daily Herald reports Swopes has requested a new hearing to have his bond reduced to $25,000.
Swopes allegedly claims he's unable to defend himself against the charges while he's behind bars.
A judge denied the request, but agreed to allow him to appeal to a higher court.
The Swopes' allegedly made their daughter sleep on a cot, eat meals on a toddler's table and use the restroom on a training potty.
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services said they have had at least five encounters with the family since the 1990s.

DCFS first had contact with the couple in 1994 in downstate Illinois. They underwent five months of counseling for abuse allegations regarding two of their three children.
In 2006, the family was investigated for medical neglect for refusing treatment for their son based on religious reasons.
Two years later, the family again was investigated for refusing medical treatment for their children for religious reasons.
Randy Swopes allegedly used thread and glue to stitch his 14-year-old son's wound.
He was charged with aggravated battery, and later agreed to a plea deal that sentenced him to 24 months of probation and 250 hours of public service.

Stacks of "We Are Orlando" shirts to be distributed to fans seen in the Rotunda at Gate 1 before the start of the game between the San Francisco Giants and the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. (Will Vragovic/Tampa Bay Times)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jeff Samardzija threw a four-hitter and the San Francisco Giants won their sixth consecutive game Friday by beating the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1 on Pride Night, before the biggest regular-season crowd at Tropicana Field in a decade.
The announced attendance of 40,135 was the first regular-season turnout over 40,000 at the Rays' ballpark since opening day in 2006 against Baltimore (40,199). Tampa Bay entered averaging 16,037 in home attendance this season, second-lowest in the majors.
The Rays dedicated this year's event to the victims of Sunday's mass shooting in Orlando. The team on Tuesday made all available tickets $5, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the Pulse Victims Fund.
Brandon Crawford and Gregor Blanco had two RBIs apiece and Brandon Belt homered for the NL West-leading Giants, a season-high 16 games over .500.
Chris Archer (4-9) allowed four runs and six hits in six innings for the Rays.
Samardzija (8-4), who was 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA in his previous three starts, retired 22 of 23 before Brad Miller homered with two outs in the ninth.
Major League Baseball vice president of social responsibility and inclusion Billy Bean threw the ceremonial first pitch.
"I think today will be just a great moment if baseball can make everybody smile, enjoy a great baseball game, feel a little closer to one another," Bean said. "It's not specific to one person or another, or race or gender or color or sexual orientation or gender identity. It's about people feeling connected and supportive."
The Rays wore "We are Orlando" T-shirts during batting practice and the hats of their one-time Double-A team, the Orlando Rays, in the game.
Crawford drove in two with a double in the first before Blanco made it 4-0 on a two-run single in the fourth. Belt hit a solo drive in the seventh.

USA Today bestselling author Alix E. Harrow brings her patented charm to a new version of a classic story, splicing the threads of the Sleeping Beauty stories
"Sleeping Beauty is the worst fairy tale, pretty much any way you slice it. It's aimless and amoral and chauvinist as shit. Even among the other nerds who majored in folklore, Sleeping Beauty is nobody's favorite. The romantic girls like Beauty and the Beast; vanilla girls like Cinderella; goth girls like Snow White. Only the dying girls like Sleeping Beauty."
It's Zinnia Gray's twenty-first birthday, which is an extra-special occasion, because it's the last she'll ever have. When she was young, an industrial accident left Zinnia with a rare condition. Not much is known about her illness, but the main fact for Zinnia is that no one who has it has lived to twenty-two.
Her best friend is intent on making Zin's last birthday special with a full sleeping beauty experience, complete with a tower and a spinning wheel. But when Zinnia pricks her finger, she founds herself cast into another world, with another sleeping beauty, just as desperate to escape her fate.
With When the Elephants Dance Holthe has not only written a gripping narrative of how Alejandro, Isabelle, Domingo and their community fight for survival, but a loving tribute to the magical realism that infuses Filipino culture. The stories shared by her characters are based on the same tales handed down to Holthe from her Filipino father and lola, her grandmother. This stunning debut novel is the first to celebrate in such richness and depth the spirit of the Filipino people and their fascinating story and marks the introduction of a talented new author who will join the ranks of writers such as Arundhati Roy, Manil Suri, and Amy Tan.


In Kampen, Enexis had to replace an old gas pipeline with the help of the contractor BAM.
This pipeline passed under a ditch and a large road and finished in a T-piece. This T-piece was also replaced by a 90° bend with a gate valve with steel welding ends DN150. In the curve a gas purge point with variable T-piece was placed. With this, Enexis now has the ability to blow clean the pipe section for the gate valve in order to carry out work on the pipe or to create a bypass. Behind the gate valve a high pressure connection was placed with a branch of 32 mm PE in order to provide a neighbouring company with gas.
In this project we see very clearly that practice is surely different to theory. First of all the gas pipeline broke and needed to be re-welded. At the location where the T-piece had to be removed, there were made some old welds many years ago, which no longer met the present standards. A new piece of pipeline had to be welded first and after that the gate valve and high pressure connection could be placed.
While digging maps were available on which it was indicated where the steel pipe was located, there was still some indistinctness about the diameter of the pipe. They also feared that a large water pipe was placed at the same location. Therefore, caution was required. After some research, a gas pipeline and water pipeline were found and both excavated. Now a gas purge point had to be installed in order to enable work on the pipeline in the future.
Before a welder is allowed to start welding a gas purge point on an 8 bar gas pipeline, a wall thickness test must be carried out (in this case by SGS). At the DN100 gas pipeline a wall thickness of 2.8 mm was measured. The instruction for a DN100 steel pipeline says that for welding under pressure the wall thickness must be no less than 3.4 mm. As a result, the pipeline had to be depressurized. This took place later in the day and then the gas purge point was placed.
Once again an example of the fact that practice is often different than theory. At the same time you see the importance of good asset management and the importance of good mapping of the pipe network with correct diameters and wall thicknesses.

Through my mother, Rua Osborne, art has been in my life as long as I can remember. She was artistic in everything she did and painted all her life. She was a partner in Gallery A in Sydney in the 60's and & 70's and a great collector, so our home was always full of wild and wonderful cutting edge contemporary art.
Mum and my sister were the artists in the family while I was the musician. I didn't begin to paint until 1997 when I joined artist friends on a painting trip to Broome. It was during this trip – watching and learning and gently guided – that I got the first taste of the wonderful and surprising place that artists go to; where self is lost and time loses it's edges. I have chased this ever since. Plus, every now and then, I am pleasantly surprised by my painting.
Over the years I have had guidance from artist and teacher Peter Scott and have done several art units at TAFE.
I have never tired of this journey I have found myself on and I am pleased to have this opportunity to share the outcome with you. All thanks to Arts Margaret River for the venue and for their support. This has encouraged me to step up to the mark and go public with my "Accidental Journey".
The exhibition continues until Thursday 28th July. Open Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm.

Opinion/Editorial
Kids' stress rising, GPA scores declining
Filed under Opinion/Editorial, Showcase
Imagine this: You do all your homework, every night, every day of the year. You get 100's on every classwork and every homework. Then, just when you think you're going home to see that big smile on your parents' face with a $20 bill in their hand, BOOM.
You get that test back you tried so hard for, and now, the only thing you will see for weeks is your bedroom because your grounded.
The new grading system works so your overall grade is split into three sections. Practice, process, and product. Practice is 20 percent which consists of homework and classwork, process is 30 percent which consists of small quizzes and projects, and product is 50 percent which consists of tests and larger projects.
So, let's say you have a 100 in a class, and then receive a 50 on a test, you drop down to a C- two whole letter grades.
Before this grading system was put in place, school has already taken a mental toll on many students whether it's from stress, anxiety, or depression. According to reporter Meg Anderson recent studies have shown that one in every five students have a mental health disorder in a given year and out of all high schools in the United States, 1.2 million students drop out of high school every year.
If these numbers were so high, why did we decide to make school more stressful for these students?
Patterson Mill High School sophomore Soraya Abuhantash says, "It's not fair. Everything is weighted so much that if I get a bad grade on a test or just miss one homework assignment, my grade drops dramatically. I can never do anything outside of school because I am always thinking about when my next test is or when my next assignment is due."
On a poll of 289 students all over Harford County, 260 students said that they do not like the new grading system, and it has dropped their GPA dramatically from last year. That is 90 percent.
North Harford High School sophomore Lily Macatee says, "You cannot fail a test, and I mean cannot, or else you will fail the class. I turn in all my homework and classwork and get perfect scores, then receive one bad grade on a test and I'm at a D with no hope at bringing it up. I lost my motivation to try."
One day a classroom was filled with about 20 students, give or take. When you walked in, you would think something terrible had happened. Half of the class was balling their eyes out because of their AP test, on which they felt they did poorly . The teacher couldn't teach his own lesson because of how many students were upset.
According to North Harford High School senior Gillian Ribeiro, "This new system is terrible for people like me, bad test takers. I have always tried so hard in school, but recently it has been so hard to keep up with all of my work and still do other things that I have to do outside of school."
This system is not just affecting students' grades, it is affecting their mental health and disturbing their other classes and classmates.
Are tests worth all this mental stress and self-hate? If students' mental health is affected this young in age, they will be affected negatively for the rest of their life. Schools need to be more aware of students and how they are feeling mentally, rather than just a grade on a single paper that we will never see again.

You got to witness first hand what happens to this blog when I don't plan my posts in advance. Ha,ha.
Anyways, what I have discovered is that some of my ideas are not fitting with what I want to write right now. It doesn't matter that I love them. If I don't want to write them, it's not going to happen. Exhibit A: holds up three stories I started and stopped last October alone I was super excited about ALL of them, but it wasn't happening. I tried.
So I did what I was afraid to do: I took a stroll through plot bunny field. And you know what, it was actually really nice. As it should be. After all, why am I writing all these ideas down if I'm never going to look at them again?
There are some stupid ideas in there, but I did have a few shiny pieces jump out at me. I combined a couple of them because it felt right, so I am now proudly baking two shiny new ideas. I was going to play around with the medieval fantasy in the background, but one of the new ideas is kind of literally absorbing several aspects of it. I'm still waiting for the actual main character in the story to talk to me, but the plot finally started moving on Monday after I talked my brother's ear off about it.
All I will say about them right now is that they are both crazy in the best possible way. insert Cheshire cat grin here I do have a forerunner that's exploding all over my brain already (always a good sign), but I'll restrain from pronouncing it in case the main character in the other idea suddenly decides to do something other than stare around in awe and fear.
Though afraid she should be. Very, very afraid. Muhahaha.
For whatever reason, I only want to write slightly creepy stuff of late. Slightly to me anyway. Stuff other people find super dark, I don't really find that dark, but the reaction I get out of people when I tell them what I write is priceless.
Now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Last year, when I started DISCORD, I got three chapters in and came to a screeching stop. The creep factor was missing. Luckily I found it before I gave up and trashed it. Maybe that's why none of my other ideas have been working lately. There's something about them that's killing my writer fire. Sure I could make them creepy, but it wouldn't really fit.
The best part of all of this? It's finally cut off the endless stream of chatter that's usually coming from the plot bunny field. I held up what I was looking for to the masses and none of them can compete right now. Ah, sweet silence. That's right. Over 85 ideas, and I found just FOUR things to drag from it.
THIS is why you need a long list of mess, people. This is exactly why. You never know what will turn into a story or even just spin up one awesome scene. The forerunner idea swallowed two of my ideas, ideas I would have thought had nothing to do with each other, and then took a third to spawn a scene with. And I CANNOT WAIT to write that scene. rubs hands together And that scene was stupid in my notes, too. But the story knew what it wanted. It told me to grab it so I did, and it turned it into something amazing.
YAY! ^_^ And you know, I think the more we enjoy writing the story, the better it is. ^_^ The excitement totally translates! But yeah, it's nice to see the plot bunny field is good for something.
But it is good to have options when it's time to pick the next project.
LMAO at that quote!! hahaha. Tis true. That pressure is off our backs!
Grr.This post makes me want to write. So I think I will! Tonight!
I always want to write when I see other people writing. Getting started on something is definitely the hardest part. Use the force! 🙂 Though this reminds me, I was going to watch the premiere of Empire if nothing else. But I dunno. I want to at least send out random check-in email and see how everyone is doing!
"Bring on the chips!" we so have to make that a writer catch-cry!
I find it so fascinating that the story always tells us what it needs, as long as we listen to it.
Have fun with this new story.

HAFA celebrates past work, raising funds to pay for its farm
A Nov. 18 virtual event which included speakers Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, State Representative Samantha Vang, Union Hmong Kitchen Chef Yia Vang and HAFA co-founders Pakou and Janssen Hang, celebrated the association reaching its funding goal to purchase the 155 acres it now farms on.

Earlier this month, the Hmong American Farmers Association raised its final portion of funding needed to buy a 155-acre Dakota County farm that the association has been renting for the past several years.
HAFA will continue to sublet smaller plots to Hmong farmers on its 155 acres in Vermillion Township in Dakota County that it has operated on for more than six years.
This past year, HAFA rolled out a two part, $5.22 million capital campaign to raise funds to buy the HAFA Farm, and then raise additional funds to build a year-round, washing, curing and cooling facility and office space on the HAFA site.
The last stage of the campaign was celebrated by a Nov. 18 virtual event in which Pakou Hang, co-founder of HAFA, served as the emcee.
"Thank you for your assistance to help us purchase the HAFA farm," said Hang. "Not just for our farmers, but for anyone who cares about family farms, and who cares about fair and just food systems, and who cares about making sure that we are uplifting the dignity of workers, especially farm workers."
Janssen Hang, executive director of HAFA, shared with the audience how for the past 20 years, Hmong farmers "led the local food movement in Minnesota."
"And in the revitalization of the farmers market system, with over 50% of the vendors the farmers markets are Hmong," said Janssen Hang.
But Hang said, due to a lack of access to land, long term markets, training and research and access to credit and capital, Hmong farmers were regulated to more of a "second-class status" among farmers.
"Hmong farmers were only making $5,000 an acre, while mainstream mixed vegetable producers were making anywhere from $3,000 to as much as $20,000 per acre," he said. "So in an act of self determination by our founding and farming members, the Hmong American Farmers Association was incorporated in 2011 as a membership-based nonprofit organization that worked with over 100 Hmong farmers in the Twin Cities metropolitan area."
In 2014, thanks to the support of an anonymous benefactor, HAFA members had a place to call their own with a 155-acre farm in Dakota County. The HAFA farm, which is about 20 minutes south of St. Paul, an anonymous donor purchased the land and leased it to HAFA, with the plan to eventually sell the organization the land.
More than 100 Hmong farmers now farm the land, said Hang, and grow over 160 varieties of fruits, vegetables and flowers.
"This year alone, our food hub is projecting about $500,000 in sales," he said.
Hang said that it was late 2019 when HAFA embarked on the capital campaign that was divided into two phases. After using $2 million from the state's $1.9 billion infrastructure borrowing package that Gov. Tim Walz signed into law in October 2020, HAFA still needed to raise $500,000 to complete the land purchase.
"Since then, we have diligently worked to secure funds to finalize the purchase of the HAFA farm by the end of the year," said Hang.
Another speaker at the Nov. 18 event was Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan.
"When I was invited to do this event, I jumped at the chance, because I love HAFA, and so whatever I can do to support this incredible organization, I am willing to do," said Flanagan. "The advocacy and dedication of all of the folks who are connected to the Hmong American Farmers Association is truly inspirational."
Flanagan said that when she travels across the state of Minnesota and across the country, she "brags" about HAFA.
"With more than 160 varieties of flowers, fruits and vegetables that HAFA farmers offer, you're leading Minnesota's economy," said Flanagan. "Minnesota is so lucky to have the talent, cultural traditions and diverse experiences of more than 100 farmers representing the Hmong community and Hmong members of Minnesota and Hmong Minnesotans are a vibrant part of our state overall."
She said she's "so grateful" that Hang and HAFA are involved with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture's Emerging Farmers Work Group.
"I know this is a celebration of the work that has been done, and also the work that is in front of you," she said of the event. "This didn't happen overnight, and I want to acknowledge the obstacles that you have overcome."
Flanagan said she and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz were "so excited" to include funding to support HAFA in the bonding bill in the fall of 2020.
"Because frankly, conversations about bonding and investment have been conversations that have happened behind closed doors, and like a secret handshake, and our communities haven't been at the table," she said. "So we need to ensure that we're investing specifically, explicitly in organizations run by, and for people of color, immigrants and native folks, if we are going to change things up."
