Harriet The Moses Of Her People
Kessinger Publishing, Jun 1, 2004 - Fiction - 88 pages
The way was so toilsome over the rugged mountain passes, that often the men who followed her would give out, and foot-sore, and bleeding, they would drop on the ground, groaning that they could not take another step. They would lie there and die, or if strength came back, they would return on their steps, and seek their old homes again. Then the revolver carried by this bold and daring pioneer, would come out, while pointing it at their heads she would say, "Dead niggers tell no tales; you go on or die!" And by this heroic treatment she compelled them to drag their weary limbs along on their northward journey.

Had some very good stories about Harriet that I really enjoyed reading. Was definitely a more anecdotal book than historical I think. What I really didn't like was the comparison to other great women ... Read full review

Notes to work out in later sections: * Graph-based artifact resolution * Decouple from Maven's core * Binary graph that is pre-resolved for a POM * Artifacts should never be automatically updated, the update policy should be never by default * Repository defintions forbidden in POMs. Move toward having teams setup with the repositories they need. So that all artifact resolution processes start with a known set of repositories. This radically simplifies artifact resolution and avoids all chicken-egg problems. Teams in OSS or corporate must move toward using a proxy and/or have their settings.xml file synced up for the team. This also avoids all the crap of putting repositories in for snapshots and then taking them out. This will make the process deterministic. * The central repository definition is also removed from the SuperPOM and the repository definition moves to a standard settings.xml file. This way all repository definition are moved to a place where they can be easily altered. No more "mirrors" and replace versus cascading. It's all upfront and the set of repositories are fully defined before resolution. Yes this requires some stringent upfront checking to make sure things are intact but removes all question as to how resolution works. * api/impl specifications - what about conflicting impls (instead of versions) * exclusions!!! how far to they reach? diff between dep and depMgt? h1. Dependency Conflict Resolution h2. Introduction The version, scope, classifier, type to use for a particular dependency depends on a number of choices. For each possible location where dependency information can be specified, several choices have to be made. For the sake of simplicity, we'll focus on the version property of a dependency only. h3. Simple case: direct dependency. As a first example, an indication of the number of versions to consider is given for this simple graph; {noformat} P ^ A -> B {noformat} The information for the dependency B can come from several places: * a dependency declaration in A * a dependencyManagement declaration in A * a dependency declaration in any profile in A * a dependencyManagement declaration in any profile in A * a dependency declaration in P * a dependencyManagement declaration in P * a dependency declaration in any profile in P * a dependencyManagement declaration in any profile in P The number of possible versions for B is quite big, even for this simple one-project-one-parent-one-dependency graph. If A only declared a direct dependency on B, and P contains a depMgt section with B declared in there, we'd have 2 versions to consider. If both A and P contain both the dependency and the dependencyManagement for B, we'd have 4 versions to consider. If there were profiles, each profile could contribute up to 2 versions (from the dependency and the dependencyManagement). For N profiles in A, and M profiles in B, the maximum number of versions to consider is: ( N + 1 + M + 1 ) * 2 = 4 + 2N + 2M. (for 3 profiles in A, and 3 in P, both having a dep and a depMgt entry for B, we'd have 16 versions already\!) h3. Formalization We'll now formalize the maximum number of versions to consider for a dependency in any graph. * The simplest case is a direct dependency, pom A and pom B, no parents, no dependencyManagement sections. f(s, d) = 1 (where a is the starting point of resolution, and b is the dependency) * When dependencyManagement comes into play, the function becomes: f(s, d) = 2 * When profiles come into play, this becomes: f(s, d) = (1 + np(s)) * 2 ( np(s) = number of profiles for a; the 1 indicates the project a itself, the np(s) the additional profiles for s) * When parent poms come into play, the maximum number becomes: f(s, d) = ne(s) * (1 + np(s)) * 2 ( ne(a) is the number of 'extends' (parents) of a) * When transitive dependencies come into play, say A \-> B \-> C, the function becomes: f(s, d) = SUM( a : dt(s, d) ) ( ne(a) * 2 * (1 + np(a)) ) (dt(a, b) gives a collection of all the nodes, from a to b (excluding b); in our case A and B) Since this'll get complex very soon, we aren't going to focus on the exact number of versions to consider, as this is higly dependent upon what is specified where. Instead, we'll focus on the maximum number of versions to consider. These formalizations are done to give an idea of the complexity of version resolution. h3. All-covering case. So, the problem is rather complex. We have several aspects that contribute to the complexity: * the inheritance hierarchy * the dependency trail * depMgt vs dependencies * profiles * multiple trails We have 5 orthogonal axes to apply to a single node to find the right version. As I said before, each location that declares dependency poses a question: which one to take? Here's a graph that illustrates te first 4 aspects: The following {noformat} P1 P2 ^ ^ A -> B -> C {noformat} where all of P1, A, P2, B have: * a dependency declaration on C * a dependencyManagement declaration on C * two profiles, both having a dependency declaration on C and a dependencyManagement declaration on C. The 5th aspect isn't demonstrated by this example as there's only 1 trail. The section covering multiple trails will give a specific example of the multiple trails problem. We'll now work out all of the 5 aspects. h4. Inheritance Hierarchy This represents the trail from a pom A to the root pom, using the 'extends' relation. In our example, the inheritance hierarchies are \[A, P1\] and \[B, P2\]. Inheritance hierarchy consolidation is done by Maven in the very earliest stages after reading the pom. To resolve dependency C from A, after the inheritance hierarchy is consolidated, only A and B are considered, The information from P1 is merged with A c.q. P2 is merged with B, so all information from parent poms are somehow injected into A. What results, is a single POM containing all the information, where conflicts between the POM and it's ancestors have already been resolved. When merging parent poms, there can be conflicts, if the same kind of information is present in both the parent and the child. The question to be answered here is: which one overrides, child overrides parent or vice versa? As it turns out, this is not the same for all POM elements. The elements that affect dependency resolution are: * /dependencies * /dependencyManagement * /profiles/profile/dependencies * /profiles/profile/dependencyManagement * /profiles/build/plugins/plugin/dependencies * /build/plugins/plugin/dependencies * /extensions The precedence of either parent or child on any of these elements will affect dependency resolution. TODO: create a table listing these elements and stating wheter 'parent wins', or 'child wins'. Note that inheritance warrants a separate chapter, and sub-specifications should direct how to merge all the elements. This section does NOT specify which of the 6 locations for a dependency 'wins'. This is done in subsequent chapters. The relationship between all the elements will be described in a later section. h4. Dependency trail The dependency trail in our example is A->B->C, where only A and B are considered since C is the dependency itself. Resolution starts with POM A. At that point, there may or may not be information present about C. For the purposes of fleshing out this specification, we'll assume that _all_ POMs and _all_ elements that could possibly contain information about the dependency, do in fact contain that information. So A contains information about C. And also about B. When B is resolved, the information present in B about C becomes available to the dependency resolver. The decision to be made here is: which takes precedence, the information in A, or the information in B? Or, more generally: which one overrides, the one closer to the start of the resolution process (A), or the one closer to the final dependency (B). h4. DependencyManagement vs. Dependencies. What if a POM, after inheritance, or before, contains conflicting information about a dependency in the dependencies section and the dependencyManagement section? Should dependencyManagement only provide defaults, or should it force overrides? Should the distance between the dependency and the dependencyManagement have any influence on which one takes precedence? Should parent depMgt override childDepmgt or vice versa? Consider this: {noformat} P ^ A -> B {noformat} The following combination of cases are possible: * P declares dependency on B ** P declares depMgt on B *** A declares dep on B **** \[1\] A declares depMgt on B **** \[2\] A does NOT declare depMgt on B *** A does NOT declare dep on B **** \[3\] A declares depMgt on B **** \[4\] A does NOT declare depMgt on B ** P does NOT declare depMgt on B *** A declares dep on B **** \[5\] A declares depMgt on B **** \[6\] A does NOT declare depMgt on B *** A does NOT declare dep on B **** \[7\] A declares depMgt on B **** \[8\] A does NOT declare depMgt on B * P does NOT declare dependency on B ** P declares depMgt on B *** A declares dep on B **** \[9\] A declares depMgt on B **** \[10\] A does NOT declare depMgt on B *** A does NOT declare dep on B **** \[11\] A declares depMgt on B **** \[12\] A does NOT declare depMgt on B ** P does NOT declare depMgt on B *** A declares dep on B **** \[13\] A declares depMgt on B **** \[14\] A does NOT declare depMgt on B *** A does NOT declare dep on B **** \[15\] A declares depMgt on B **** \[16\] A does NOT declare depMgt on B So we have 16 cases, all could have a maximum of 4 possible versions for B, which gives us 64 possible algorithms, even in this simple example. Most cases do not have 4 possibilities though. There are: * 8 functions with only 3 (a), * 4 functions with only 2 (b), * 2 functions with only 1 (c) * 1 function with 4 possibilities (d). * the rest is invalid. That leaves us with 38 possible functions (implementations). (note: the tree above does not match this table) || winner || P depMgt || P dep || A depMgt || A dep || || | | | | | 0 x || || Ad | | | | X | 1 (c) || || | | | X | | 2 x || || Am,Ad | | | X | X | 3 (b) || || etc etc | | X | | | 4 (c) || || | | X | | X | 5 (b) || || | | X | X | | 6 (b) || || | | X | X | X | 7 (a) || || | X | | | | 8 x || || | X | | | X | 9 (b) || || | X | | X | | a x || || | X | | X | X | b (a) || || | X | X | | | c (b) || || | X | X | | X | d (a) || || | X | X | X | | e (a) || || | X | X | X | X | f (d) || The algorithm would have effect on several dimensions/axes/aspects of the problem, that's why there are so many possible implementations. I strongly advice NOT to write algorithms that span different aspects. In this case, this means an algorithm that solves a single-aspect problem (depMgt vs. dependencies), by taking into account information from other aspects (being the inheritance hierarchy aspect). As you can see, this complicates things too much. Also, in other situations, for instance with profiles, we'd also have a specific 'cross cutting' algorithm, taking into account more than 1 aspect. It's easy to have 2 algorithms (one that solves the depMgt vs. dep problem, and one that solves the profiles vs. model problem), to conflict with each other, or at least provide very inconsistent behaviour. I'm afraid that Maven currently suffers from this problem. So, aside from my suggestion, let's continue on the algorithm on an aspect by aspect case. In this case that means we let the inheritance hierarchy algorithm remove the complexity of having a parent pom. We then only have 2 locations to consider: depMgt and dependencies, both in A. This decreased the complexity of this aspect alone with a factor of 16; imagine what it does to other aspects, and the combined complexity\! Divide and conquer. So, we've reduced the complex problem to a simple question: should depMgt win, or dependencies, no matter what the circumstances? We're losing some edge cases here with this simplification. The two possible algorithms are: * depMgt used for 'defaults' * depMgt used as overrides. We're losing some abilities by this simplification. Here's one possible algorithm we won't be able to support: * say we have a pom A extending from P, and A is declaring a dependency. The algorithm enforces all these rules: ** If P declares a depMgt (and A does not), this depMgt is used as a default, and doesn't force transitive deps. Only applied to inheritance. ** If A declares depMgt (and P does not), this depMgt is used to force the version, even of transitive deps. ** If both A and P declare depMgt, the depMgt from P is used as a default for direct dependencies, and the depMgt from A is used only for transitive dependencies and will not override the depMgt from P. Do we want to support something this complex? h4. Profiles. h4. Multiple trails This is an odd one. Consider 5 POMs, A, B, C, D, and E. where: * A \-> B \-> C \-> E * A \-> D \-> E When all the rules are applied, we can end up with 2 versions of dependency D - the one from C and the one from D. The previous rules only solved conflicts for a single trail, not for 2 or more trails joining. In this case, we can provide 2 strategies: 'nearest-winst', or 'newest-wins', where 'nearest-wins' falls back to 'newest-winst' in case the 2 trails are equally long (A->B->D and A->C->D). h4. Influence of different locations declaring dependency information As stated earlier, the locations in a POM that can contain dependency information are: * /dependencies * /dependencyManagement * /profiles/profile/dependencies * /profiles/profile/dependencyManagement * /profiles/build/plugins/plugin/dependencies * /build/plugins/plugin/dependencies * /extensions In fact, there are several locations above that can't contradict eachother, since their information is used in parallell with the other information. * plugin dependencies contribute to a plugin's runtime environment and have no relation to the project dependencies. * extensions contribute to the environment of the currently building project, and have nothing to do with project dependencies. * profiles are merged with the POM itself, as is described in a later chapter. * dependencies and dependencyManagement are used to resolve project dependencies. So we have 3 resolution processes: extensions, plugin dependencies, and project dependencies. The first two contribute to the maven environment, the latter contributes to the project's environment. The relationships between the locations are as follows: * dependencyManagement influences dependencies * profiles/dependencies influence dependencies (if profiles take precedence over the model dependencies) * profiles/dependencyManagement influences dependencyManagement (if profiles take precedence over the model depMgt) * profiles/build/plugins/plugin/dependencies influence build/plugins/plugin/dependencies (if it takes precedence). * dependencyManagement influences extensions * dependencyManagement influences plugin dependencies The influence of profiles on the model has been described, as has the influence of depMgt on dependencies. There's only 1 type of dependencyManagement, so if we want that kind of functionality available for extensions and plugin dependencies, we'll have to use the dependencyManagement section for that. h4. Combining all of them. Making only 1 decision in any of the above sections will NOT yield the final information about C. All of the decisions above have to be made, and what's more important, they have to be combined. So, added to the complexity of each individual decision, we have to specify the order the decisions are made. Each decision eliminates one dimension/axis/aspect, so only the order of these decisions will be sufficient to get a final result. The proposed (and probably currently implemented sequence) is this: * Inheritance consolidation - this leaves us with only direct POMS; it removes a dimension from the graph. * Profiles - this leaves us with only plugin deps, extensions, dependencies and depMgt * depMgt vs dependencies - this leaves us with only plugin deps, extensions, and dependencies * the dependency trail - this leaves us with one version per trail * multiple trails - this decides on one version out of all the trails. h2. Snapshots and plugins - Other sources of information So far, the only locations where version information about artifacts/dependencies could be stored, was the POM (or profiles in profiles.xml/settings.xml - anyway, information that ultimately ends up in the POM itself). Snapshots however, add a new location for version information: remote repositories. As do plugins, as the version isn't required in their declaration. To make matters worse, plugins can also define profiles. Both snapshots and plugin declarations don't have a final, concrete version: plugin versions are optional, and the latest version will be retrieved from a repository. Snapshot versions containing the 'SNAPSHOT' keyword aren't final either - their version will also be fixed using information in a repository (local or remote). Snapshots and plugin declarations have no influence on the described aspects themselves, but they do add another aspect: another source of information. h3. Artifact Resolution and Repositories We have several things to resolve: * project dependencies * plugin dependencies * extensions They should not conflict with eachother - a dependency from the project cannot affect a dependency in a plugin and vice versa. This also affects repository settings. While resolving any of the abovementioned artifacts, the only common context can be the POM, which must not be changed. This will make sure nothing contaminates the other resolution processes. In Maven 2.1, all repositories will be known beforehand. Repository declarations in POM's will no longer be used; they serve the same purpose as optional dependencies. h4. Resolving snapshots Project dependency resolution has been discussed. We'll now add snapshot resolution to the mix. When the normal project resolution has done it's job, and it results in a SNAPSHOT version, repositories will be consulted and the actual version will be filled in for that artifact alone. NOTE that $ {project.version} will keep evaluating to the SNAPSHOT version, not the timestamped version, so that each possible dependency can be resolved to the proper version. So this step will come after the normal project dependency resolution, as the last step after the steps described in 'Combining all of them' (TODO: anchor link). h4. Resolving extensions Extensions are resolved just as project dependencies. When decisions are made while traversing dependency trails etc. about certain dependencies, these decisions will only last as long as is needed to resolve extensions. When project dependencies or plugin dependencies are resolved, all this information will be forgotten. Beware of caching\! If a project has a dep on B 1.0, and an extension specifies B 1.1, then they should have no influence on eachother and both dependencies should be used - one for maven, one for the project. They pose no conflict. Transitive dependencies can also pose no conflicts. h4. Resolving plugins The same as stated under 'Resolving extensions' applies here, with the following addition. First, the project resolution is applied to plugins. If no version can be found, instead of failing (like is done for normal dependencies), plugin versions are resolved from plugin repositories. Do we want to keep supporting this, or do we want to fail, i.e. require plugin versions to be set? What do we want to do with groupId - that's another source of information.

The ASPCA is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case of four newborn kittens found with their throats slashed. An additional $1,200 is being offered by the Suffolk County SPCA, the local animal-protection agency leading the investigation.
According to Suffolk County SPCA reports, the bodies of the four kittens—estimated to be three weeks old—were discovered on October 1 in the parking area of a business in Riverhead, New York.
"This is a truly sickening case of violent, heartless abuse," says Stacy Wolf, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "We hope the reward offer sends a message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our society. We thank the Suffolk County SPCA for its commitment to finding justice for these four innocent kittens."
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.

Sick to my stomach over this. That person is far more troubled that I can fathom.
Sick to my stomach over this. That person is far more troubled that I can fathom.
That someone could do something so cruel is very scary. Eventually this person could move on to humans. I'm just happy to see that ASPCA and the SPCA are offering rewards. Maybe people are starting to take animal cruelty more seriously.
I hope someone comes forward who saw this, they deserve the same thing done to them
WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. Laws need to be changed to enforce a harsh punishment on these people when they are caught. I hope this person dies a painful death. I AM SO ANGRY.
OMG.....I'd have taken all four instead of something that cruel happening.....it is so sad to continue to hear of these morbidly sick acts against innocent creatures.....so hope they find the perps......justice
I would love to give this person the same kind of treatment, i would not feel any remorse.
I hope they found whoever did this. I gasped when I read about the little kittens, breaks my heart to read this, no, it makes me angry too! What goes around, comes around.
I wouldn't even take the reward. I would give it back to the organization as long as they found the cruel person who would do this to poor innocent kittens! Made me cry to read that someone would do this!
I hope they catch the people who did this,this people are monsters and should not be on the streets among with other people,who can do such a thind to adorable kittens?SICK!

Fuji is has a strong heritage in the bicycle industry. First established in 1899, the company was named after Mount Fuji. As a Mountain known as a symbol for strength and endurance it sure is no surprise that Fuji has thrived over 100 years later. Just like the mountain, the Fuji bikes that roll off the floor are some of the strongest and well designed bike on the market today.
The Tahoe is an Aluminum Hardtail 29er. This fierce and responsive bike is certainly worth a second look. The riding trend of Hardtail 29ers is a forced to be reckoned with. The large 29 inch wheels make quick work of nearly any terrain. The hard tail frame makes the bike quick and snappy. This is a huge plus because large wheels normally make you less responsive but that's not the case with this hardtail 29er.
The Frame is constructed from A2-SL super light aluminum alloy. A tapered headtube is used to add to the stiffness and increase the ride quality and responsiveness of the ride. Cold forged drop outs are used with CNC'd post mount brackets. This increases strength while saving weight.
Fuji has set the Tahoe out on the right track with the high quality component group they have selected. The RockShox Reba RLT features a tapered alloy steerer that adds to the stiff properties that make this a responsive ride. In addition, with a flick of a switch you can lock out your fork due to the remote lock out feature. This makes it easy to lock out your suspension in an instant with the use of a remote lever on your handlebar.
Shimano and FSA are big players in the drivetrain business. It makes perfect sense that Fuji would go to great lengths to ensure that this build was outfitted with industry leading components and brands. The FSA Afterburner crankset is super stiff and allows for maximum power transfer. Shimano XT rapid fire shifters control the front and rear Shimano Deore XT derailleurs. And the Tektro Orion Hydraulic brakes allow you to stop on a dime. This 29 inch Hardtail is smooth rolling and is able to power through trail with easy. You can't go wrong here!Components

Comments about Fuji Tahoe 29 1.0 Bike 2012:
Had a 26" Cannondale dual suspension in mountains of W. PA. Wanted a 29" hard tail for mixed roads/ rails to trails of E. PA. Wanted good components given my size, 6'2", weight 230 lbs and age, 60+. The Cannondale was excellent, gave it to one of my sons. Been riding the Fuji 10+ miles/day since receiving over a week ago. 2 x 10 gearing is excellent for current usage. Speed shifters were quick to familiarize and work well as do the hydralic brakes. Couldn't find a comparable bike at the LBS's any near the price range. Don't know what may have changed in the 2013/14 models but doubt it would justify the additional cost. Bike looks good also.

Comments about Fuji Tahoe 29 1.0 Bike 2012:
I have bought my last 3 bikes at a local LBS and I have become comfortable doing my own tune ups so I decided to take a leap of faith and buy my latest bike online.
I had bought parts from Jensons and was happy with their service so after doing a lot of research on the type of bike I wanted, I ordered this 2012 Fuji Tahoe 29 1.0 and I just love the thing. Right out of the box, this bike shifted like a dream. I love the XT shifters, XT front and rear derailleurs and the RockShox Reba fork is so slick.
I put Shimano Saint pedals and Ergon GP-4 bar ends on the bike and can not believe how much fun it is to ride. The handlebars are a little wide for me and I will be cutting 1" from each end and that will make the bike perfect in my opinion.
The WTB Vulpine tires are excellent on rail trails and decent on pavement.
I do 30 mile rides on rail trails and my last bike was a Hybrid. This Tahoe cross country mountain bike blows the Hybrid away on these trails and even feels better on pavement. Thank you Jensons.

Comments about Fuji Tahoe 29 1.0 Bike 2012:
I bought this bike from Jensons because I love the looks of it and it is an incredible value. I wanted a XC mountain bike because I like to ride fast on rail trails and this bike has met all my expectations. My second bike is a 2013 Trek DS 8.5 I got at a LBS and it is a decent bike but nothing compared to this Tahoe 29 1.0 and both bikes cost me approximately the same. I got the bronze build from Jensons and right out of the box, it shifts so much better than the Trek ever did but also has all XT shifters and front and rear derailleurs versus just Deore shifters and front derailleurs and SLX rear derailleur on the Trek. I can not believe how much better the Fuji climbs and rolls even with the big 2.1 WTB race tires. I had upgraded the original cheap tires that came on the Trek but it does not roll like these WTB Vultine Race tires.
The Tektro brakes are not as quite as good as the Shimano brakes on my Trek and the only negative thing I can say about my buying experience with Jenson is the bike was supposed to come with pedals and it did not have pedals.I put Shimano Saint platform pedals on it that I had put on the Trek. I also put Ergon GP4 bar ends on the Fuji as the original hand grips I did not like. I had intended on keeping both bikes but after 75 Km of trail riding and 12 Km of pavement , the Fuji is so much more fun to ride, I think I will sell the Trek. I love the wide handlebars and the 2x10 chain drive on the Tahoe 29 1.0. Thank you Jensons.

Men's Basketball Falls to Mount Olive in Conference Carolinas Quarterfinals
March 1, 2014
MOUNT OLIVE, NC – The Pfeiffer men's basketball team (6-21) fell in the opening round of the Conference Carolinas Tournament at the top-seeded Mount Olive (19-8) by a final score of 77-68 on Saturday evening. Freshman Andrew Guerrero ended his rookie campaign in style, finishing with 19 points and going 5-fo-8 from three point range.
David McNair recorded his seventh double-double of the season as the sophomore grabbed 13 rebounds and scored 10 points. McNair finishes the season as the conference's third leading rebounder at 9.2 boards per game.
Mike Smith added 17 points and AJ Clark finished with 11 for the Falcons. Clark added six of his team's 12 assists on the game and played all 40 minutes.
Mount Olive was led by 18 points from Dontrell Brite and 15 from Kendall Hargrove. Dory Hines pulled down 10 boards for the hosts who shot 49.2 percent from the field.
Pfeiffer finished with a 44.8 percent shooting percentage and went 43.8 percent from long range.
Mount Olive was very efficient on the offensive end, committing only six turnovers in the matchup. The Trojans outscored Pfeiffer 44-34 in the paint and held a 17-8 edge in points off turnovers.
Pfeiffer ran out to an early 5-0 lead on a three from Guerrero and a tip-in from Clark. Pfeiffer trailed for only 13 seconds in the game's opening 11:11. However, Mike Moore's three pointer at the 8:06 mark gave Mount Olive a 25-23 lead. Smith answered on the other end with a driving layup but Mount Olive responded with a 12-3 run over the next four minutes to take a 37-28 advantage. By the time the half ended, Mount Olive held a 41-32 lead as Brite and Hargrove combined for 22 points.
A quick 8-4 run by Pfeiffer to start the second half cut Mount Olive's lead to 45-40 with 17 minutes to play. The Trojans pushed the lead to as many as 16 in the second half but Pfeiffer refused to quit. Pfeiffer cut the lead to single-digits on three different occasions but weren't able to close the gap any closer than nine points.
Smith scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half and Silvere Aluko had five of his six blocked shots in the final 20 minutes. Aluko had 13 blocks in the final two games of the season and finishes the year as the leading shot blocker in the conference.
Mount Olive advances to the semifinal round of the Conference Tournament which is hosted at the Cabarrus Arts and Events Center. The tournament starts at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday with both the men's and women's semifinals being played.

New backs coach Robbie Fleck tells SA Rugby magazine how he plans to fix WP's attack problems.
When you retired from top-flight rugby, was it always your aim to coach at Western Province?
Not at all. When I retired, I wanted to break away from rugby completely, which I did in the first couple of years. But the call of the game I love was just too great, I just had to return. I played in social games and for the SA Legends team and then I got an opportunity to coach at UCT. I was there for two years and I never really thought it would progress to an opportunity like this. While I didn't expect an offer from WP, I knew I would regret it if I turned them down. I'm now here until the end of the Currie Cup. We'll have to sit down and reassess what comes next after the tournament. For now, it's just a six-month contract.
A lot of top coaches like Rassie Erasmus and Naka Drotské moved straight into coaching after playing. How much of a benefit is it, if at all, to coach at club level first?
The thing about Naka and Rassie is that in their final playing days they were also involved with a bit of coaching and mentoring. It's not really an uncommon thing these days. For me, it was better to gain experience at club level first. Apart from the technical knowledge you pick up, you learn how to manage players. At club level, you are also allowed to try different things, whereas at Currie Cup or Super 14 level there is far more pressure. It's more results-driven and so as a new coach you wouldn't have that freedom to experiment. I've gained a lot of confidence from my time with UCT and it's allowed me to develop my own style of coaching. Hopefully I can bring a few things through to WP, although I'm not saying they'll work.
You coached at UCT and obviously have a good relationship with the management, and probably a good relationship with Ikeys' arch-rivals Stellenbosch. How will this benefit WP in the long term?
As a coach in the Varsity Cup you get to see all the youngsters in action, which is a luxury most top coaches don't have. It will help to know the club scene and the various coaches, but most of all it will help to know what kind of talent we have in this province.
Both you and head coach Allister Coetzee are backline coaches. How is that dynamic going to work?
I report to Allister who will be in charge of the overall team strategy. I will coach the backline using my particular expertise. Allister and I have similar ideas and share the same philosophy in terms of backline play, so that is a great help.
The Stormers had some big problems on attack in the Super 14. Where do you think they went wrong, and how do you aim to fix them in the Currie Cup?
As an outside observer, I did notice one or two things that I feel I can adjust, and it is an area where I feel I can add value. We want to be known as a team that can score tries.
How do you think the Stormers performed under the hybrid ELVs? Are you pleased the most contentious of those laws won't be used in the Currie Cup?
I don't think the Stormers got their tactics wrong in the Super 14. In a competition that utilises the hybrid ELVs, you need a good kicking game, and it's the same for the global ELVs. You can't risk playing too much rugby in your own half because the breakdown is such a lottery and there's a good chance of conceding a turnover. So the tactics weren't wrong in the Super 14, it was more down to poor execution.
You won the 2000 and 2001 Currie Cups in a team renowned for their expansive style. How much has the game changed, and are you disappointed that WP are no longer known as a free-running team? Is it something you want to change?
The game has evolved and as coaches we have to deal with that. Every team in the Super 14 had to adapt, and I think the only two teams that really kept to their traditionally expansive game were the Chiefs and Hurricanes. The kicking game is more important than ever, but at the same time you don't want to lose the expansive tradition. The real challenge is finding a balance between the two styles. This is where I feel I can help. I think the option-taking in the Super 14 wasn't great, sometimes the guys kicked when they should have run and vice versa. We need to improve those aspects of the game.
The Stormers suffered a number of injuries throughout the Super 14 that tested their depth. With Conrad Jantjes out for the season and Percy Montgomery retired, how are you feeling about the depth at fullback?
It is an issue of concern, but I'm giving Joe Pietersen my vote of confidence. He ended the Super 14 well and will feature more in next year's competition. For this year's Currie Cup we are a bit thin on depth, not just at fullback but in areas like outside centre, lock and prop.
And at flyhalf?
Yes, and at flyhalf. We do have Willem de Waal and Peter Grant to cover that position though. Willem's proven time and again how valuable his kicking game is to any team. I also think Peter will make a fine No 12. I don't think enough emphasis is placed on developing inside centres in this country – it's the most important position on the field. As far as youngsters are concerned, there are a few U21 players we are looking at. [UCT centre] Tiger Bax is one for the future.
Any plans to improve the tactical kicking in the Currie Cup? Will you bring in specialists like Montgomery, perhaps when the British & Irish Lions series has concluded?
Unfortunately we can't use Monty as he's contracted to SA Rugby and will be working with the Boks as a kicking consultant. We have a kicking consultant in Greg Hechter and will be working on our execution.
In the Super 14, the Stormers beat the Lions and Cheetahs, and lost narrowly to the Bulls and Sharks. What does this mean in the context of the Currie Cup?
It's a boost to our chances knowing we've done well against the local teams. With all the injuries, we effectively started our Currie Cup team in those latter Super 14 games, so it's a silver lining that they've had a chance to play together. They beat a full-strength Cheetahs team and the Force, and also competed well against a Chiefs side that had a lot of All Blacks. Those youngsters should take plenty
of confidence through to the Currie Cup.
Who do you think are the favourites to win the 2009 Currie Cup title?
The Bulls and Sharks will lose a number of players to the Springboks so they'll play second-string sides for the majority of the tournament, but the Cheetahs will only lose a couple to the national team. They're probably the best placed side at the moment.
Obviously you always aim to win the tournament at the start of it, but what is a realistic ambition for WP this year?
Province are in a bit of rebuilding phase but I think anything less than a top-four finish would be considered a failure. WP is a results-driven union and we accept that. This Currie Cup is about building towards next year's Super 14, but Rassie [the WP senior professional coach] has stressed the importance of doing well in the Currie Cup itself. We are aiming to qualify for the semis and get some momentum before our Boks get back from the Tri-Nations. With our Boks back in the mix, I believe we'll be a different prospect later in the competition. I think it wouldn't matter if we ended up playing the Bulls at Loftus in the semi-finals. We'd beat them with our Boks back in the team, but we have to get into that position first.

Stop laughing Jefe.
Why do you think it is that almost 80% of the members of the National Academy of Scientists…...are Atheists?
Do you think that maybe these brilliant and enlightened people just may know more about the universe than we common folk and Hockey Moms?
Now, I must admit, it makes me wonder about that other 20% but….who was it that said that there is a sucker born every minute? PT Barnum or Mark Twain?
FWIW, from what I have read and what I have been able to understand…..I'll go with the 80%, thank you very much.
Now, about that damned global warming issue…

I love this!! I'm definitely going to have to try out some of these recipes. You should also do a post on top 10 easiest slow cooker recipes, and maybe your top favorites too.
Awesome post! We used to live on processed junk thrown in the oven too, but no more. (okay, not as much). I love to do freezer cooking or TV dinners as you call it. It makes things SO much easier.
I buy chicken in bulk and cut it in to strips to use for fajitas. I throw the spice right in the bag. Then I have another bag with peppers and onions that I have in the bag. So they are together, but separate. I love to make like 3 or 4 batches of these at a time. I get the peppers and onions at Costco too so they are cheaper and in bulk. We'll make a batch of chicken fajita goop, stick it in the refrigerator and use it on salads, sandwiches, eggs and even as fajitas! :-)
Crockpots rock.
Fantastic post! I'm expecting and starting to worry how the grownups are going to eat during the newborn months, especially since I'll also have extra family in town. The idea of bagged slowercooker meals sounds so much better than filling the freezer with casseroles. thanks for sharing.
What a great idea. I do chop 10 onions at a time and freeze them but the whole meal would be so much better. Also, I find that I won't get my food processor out to chop a single onion but if I'm doing a bunch (and maybe some carrots, celery, peppers, at the same time) it's totally worth washing the appliance.
The other thing I've done is invite several other moms over for a bulk cooking morning. We chop, stir, saute, and assemble large quantities of 3-4 different meals. We all help watch kids and it's much easier than cooking alone. At the end we each get a couple of meals of each recipe to take home. It would be SO easy to adapt this idea to assemble slow cooker meals.
I love making my own fast meals by freezing my leftovers. I love all your ideas here! Thank you.
OMG thank you for all the great information here. I swear. I was reading your post and just remembered that I DO HAVE A spaghetti/hamburger casserole fozen in my freezer. I just got it out and we will have it for dinner. Busy day for me - not so busy if I didn't read computer stuff for too long...
God Bless and thank you for all of your work and recipes.
What a useful post!
Thank you so much for all the great recipes all in one spot. I plan to cook chicken this weekend so rather than a lot of one thing, now I can prep several different meals.
I have been looking for more slow cooker recipes for week nights. So glad I found your blog. I will check it often. I have my slow cooker going right now with an italian style pasta dish. When I get home my house will smell yummy!
LOVE this post! We novices out here applaud you for continuing to remember us. There is so much to learn about this wonderful appliance!
I live alone and love my crockpot, so I'm always making whole batches of a recipe and then freezing in single servings for lunches. A lot of these can even be frozen with the vegetables, rice, or whatever you serve on the side, just try to keep everything as separate as you can in the container.
It's hard to know what types of things freeze well though, so this list is really handy!
Hi Steph - always so glad to see a post!!
I have a general question, which I couldn't find the answer to...sorry if I missed it on the sidebar. I did look!
When you put a smaller container inside your large crock (to make a smaller amount of something), do you put a cover on the smaller container? I've got a pyrex casserole that fits nicely in my giganto tagsale (Made in US!) crock, but I don't know if I should use the pyrex lid or not.
Thanks so much!!!
Hi Quinn, I usually don't--- most of the time my food is kind of mounded in there. For creme brulee, cheesecake, no lid.
I've used the lid a few times for dips/fondue, and then take the dish out for serving. It's really up to you--- the heavy glass lids of corningware and pyrex are completely oven safe, so they are fine in the crock, and will add another layer of insulation if you are worried that your small-batch of food in a large crock might dry out.
Thanks, Steph! I was wondering if things cook faster with the extra lid, because I made rice pudding (usually takes less than 4 hours) and it took about 9. Of course, that MAY have had nothing to do with a lid...it MAY been because I ran out of the arborio rice I usually use, and experimented with brown rice...live and learn, eh? And the result was edible, but that's about all - heh!
AMAZING post!! Thanks for all the great ideas. I have tried several of your recipes and my kids LOVE them, as do I. Keep them coming.
So glad I found your blog. I love using my crockpot, too. Looking forward to reading back over your blog.
Thanks so much for the meal tips! :)
I'm expecting baby number 2 in just a few short months and my son will only be 22 months old when the baby arrives, yes I know I'm crazy :) Needless to say we are going to have our hands full. This is a brilliant idea seeing as my darling husband is not so good in the kitchen. I can't wait to get my crockpot meals all set to go. It's great to know my family can eat healthy meals even with Mommy is tied to the glider with a nursing baby.
Very useful post - Thank you, you have a nice blog here.
It's great that you are cooking wholesome foods for your family. And freezing batches for later use makes perfect sense. But I don't understand why you would microwave it.
Microwaves radiate the food. They kill all nutrients and enzymes, making the food completely lifeless.
I encourage you stay away from it. Reheat your food in the oven or stove top.
Dear Steph,
The creation of brown bag freezer lunches is what I have always used your site for. I'm single, working and most nights have an engagement, to go out, to study, to volunteer. Not much time for cooking good food. I decided to eat fewer grains, which eliminated my Lean Cuisine lunch habit. I started by making 3 recipes in one day, dividing them into 4-6 servings, and freezing. Now I make one or two a week and I'm set. It's nice to know that there's a stockpile of lunches in case life gets busy. Thanks for your great recipes. Beef bourgonion and chicken makhani are also in the freezer. Going to try the peanutbutter pork next.
LOVE this post, thank you! Expecting baby #3 and this is very helpful. I do have a question about the fish dishes mentioned at the end. The Parmesan Tilapia sounds delicious - do you mean you "make" the foil packets with everything inside, and then freeze them?? Or were they included in this list because you can use frozen fish? And if the fish is frozen, how does that affect the cooking time? Thank you!!
Thank you for introducing me to ZipList, and for taking the time to put your freezer-friendly recipes on there. I have saved them to my recipe box! Like you, I have had to give up buying processed food due to the gluten problem, so I am trying to stock the freezer. This is a great help. I cook big batches of g/f foods on the weekend and store them in small containers for at-work lunches and family dinners. Thanks again!
I am fairly certain that I saw a quick recipe on your sight for peanut butter cookies. It was not your crockpot recipe but off to the side. Everyone LOVED the cookies and evidently I did not save the recipe. Can you help me, please? I think it only had about 3 ingredients - sugar (lots) peanut butter and vanilla - I think.
Thanks so much!
I've stopped freezing so much (expensive, uses up too much space, alters texture of some things) and started dehydrating. My dehydrator is on the porch right now turning a whole bag of onions into chopped dried onions that would cost a fortune in those tiny jars at the store. I fit a whole bag of onions into a pint jar, with room left over. I make oodles of noodles and spaetzle and dry those, too, so they become instant noodles in water. I will spend a morning making homemade noodles to dry and then we are months eating them. They taste so much better than commercial pasta and a far, far less expensive. My canning jars are vacuum sealed so everything stays fresh. Everything takes up so little space now, and I even do half pint jars of left over spaghetti sauce so it won't go to waste. It reconstitutes in 2 minutes in hot water. When we have a hurricane and lose power, all I need is hot water, and that part is easy. And my food won't spoil in a thawing freezer.
I want to start crockpot/slow cooker freezer meals on a smaller scale.
Thank you for your comment! I will try my hardest to answer questions as they come up, but if your question gets buried, you may try me on twitter or facebook.
Happy Slow Cooking!

Some of you have been asking me of late, "What is Reiki?" I'll admit my own understanding of it has been very vague. If you're like me, you may have thought, "Isn't it some kind of massage or alternative therapy?"
And if you thought this, the truth is you'd be -- well, let's say you'd be in the right neighborhood.
Based on some admittedly quick research, Reiki is a methodology that heals by redirecting the energy force that animates us, and sometimes by removing blockages in the flow of that energy. In general, sickness: physical, psychological, spiritual, is attributed to something being wrong with this energy.
So, when you read about Reiki, you come across a lot about the Oriental concepts of Qi and the Chakras, and about the more universal idea of an Energy Body.
You also realize that there's a whole other area of Reiki that appeals to higher forces: to diety, to angels, and to other kinds of "higher consciousness" for help in correcting problems with the flow of this energy. Aligning your energy with the energy that pervades the universe seems to be the key to overall health and well being.
But don't take it from me; this is just me rambling on.
Join us Thursday, October 25, when you can hear it from the mouth of an Expert. Linda Street, Kudalini Reiki Master and Teacher comes to us with a background in Usui Reiki, Tibetan System Natural Healing, Integrated Energy Therapy, Diamond Light Therapy and more.
She'll speak to us about the Heart Center, guide us in the creation of Aphorisms, and lead us in a brief Meditation. There will be plenty of time for Questions and Answers. You'll have an opportunity to Enter to Win a chance to participate in a demonstration of Linda's healing process during the course of the program. Refreshments will be served.

If you need a replacement Cub Cadet Idler, Jack's has them to help get your Cub Cadet outdoor power equipment repair project underway. We've been selling lawn mower parts and small engine parts online since 1997, so when you need replacement Cub Cadet flat idlers, heavy duty flat idlers or heavy duty V Idlers, just come to Jack's! It is important to know that idlers are not the same as pulleys. There are parts called idler pulleys, but they are actually pulleys. The difference is that a pulley will have a notch (or some other device) to fix it to a shaft that it rotates around, while an idler rotates freely around bearings at its center.

For Immediate Release
Ware, MA (August 5, 2013) – Flowers create a special language of their own. More than any other flower, roses are seen as the universal symbol of love and affection. For the past 15 years Michele Lariviere, owner of Otto Florist & Gifts, located on Main Street in Ware has continued to further the vision of the late Shirley Batsie; for her roses to provide a lifeline of comfort for patients and families while at the hospital for their cancer treatments.
This year the annual Shirley Batsie Memorial Rose sale which features a dozen roses for only $8.00 will take place on September 11 through September 14. Over the past 15 years the rose sale has raised over $225,000 in support of Integrated Cancer Services at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital through the Baystate Regional Cancer Program.
"I get emotional every time I think about the rose sale; I enjoy doing it, despite how much work it takes, because I know I am helping others," said Lariviere. "When you go through very difficult times, it changes your attitude about life. For me it opened my eyes about how precious every moment is. I became much more sensitive to the burdens other people carry daily," she said. "I like to think that I am doing my best to support our community through the Rose Sale."
Lariviere credits the many volunteers who support her year after year for making this event possible. "They do a myriad of tasks that support the rose sale, including preparing thousands of roses late into the evening for the following day's sale, and selling the roses at many locations through out the surrounding area," she said.
The Ware Football team has become a vital part of this annual event. "They report to the store every morning before class to help us to bring the buckets of roses from the coolers out onto the streets," said Lariviere. "They also help organize and load the delivery trucks which arrive daily and sometimes carry more than 200 dozen roses to each location. Their strength is absolutely necessary to complete the process of the rose sale," she added. "This is a great group of kids and their families and school should take great pride in them for the work they do in school, on the field and in the community!"
Over the past 15 years, well over one million roses have been sold to support local cancer care through this annual sale. "I think about how the rose sale offers so many people an affordable opportunity to give someone flowers to brighten their day, while generating proceeds that help our hospital to keep cancer care local.
"The Baystate Regional Cancer Program is fortunate to have so many community business owners like Michele who support Integrated Cancer Services at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital year after year," said Lori Tuttle, RN, Program Manager. "We have all been touched by cancer in some way and it is so important for patients and their families to be able to receive cancer care close to home during such a difficult time in their lives. The Oncology staff looks forward to helping with the rose sale every year, whether we are prepping the roses or selling them in the hospital lobby or on Main Street."
"As a local business owner, I want to be sure that our community knows how much I appreciate their support not only during the rose sale but also their valued business all year long. I am grateful to be a part of the history of Ware; Otto Florist has been in business since 1927," said Lariviere. "It's an honor to continue to be part of so many personal events; whether it's an anniversary, an apology, a birthday, a new baby, a get well, a memorial or a fundraiser to support our local hospital, I take great pride in being your local florist," said Lariviere.
The Baystate Regional Cancer Program at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital provides access to expert Physician Specialists who offer the most current cancer care, including evaluations, diagnostic treatment and national research protocols. A team of Certified Oncology Nurses provide chemotherapy services, blood product transfusions, palliative care, counseling and support, joined by clinical social workers who provide counseling, education and support groups for patients, their families and caregivers.

Faculty Development
The University Chair in Critical Thinking has enhanced the abilities of CSB/SJU faculty for more than a decade, leading them on various international seminars. Past trips have included a visit to Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina (2003). While there, faculty studied the history and culture of the region and current social, political and economic issues affecting the area. The purpose of the initiative was to grant selected faculty the opportunity to explore global issues of conflict, human rights and international intervention within a specific historical and cultural context and thereby enrich the classroom across the curriculum.

i honestly think the ASPCA organization is one of the best organizations ever founded. To be able to provide a protective and loving home for an abused and beaten cat/dog is truely heart warming. I myself adopted a cat when she was 5 years old. Sadly, her parents before me beat and starved her and not only is she the best thing thats ever happened to her, i believe that i am the angel from God that came to her rescue. Halo is 7 years old now and living better than she ever has. By the Way, i am 17 years old. I provide for cat, i pay for everything. So teens, instead of having babies at such a young age, adopt. You honestly dont know what you're missing, and too all those that donate to the ASPCA and have adopted their beautiful animals, May God bless your souls. Thank You ASPCA :-)
best thing that has ever happened to ME*
I would certainly do more I feel so bad for these poor animals. But I have some huge concerns when ever I have seen a dog in distress I would call t
he Animal Shelter just to find no answer or you have to call a 1 800 number. So well these poor animals are suffering or need help there is no rush to get it to them I have rescued 2 dogs myself and can not take anymore in even though I would take them all!!! It sickens me that in this society we are still dealing with ignorant humans that feel the need to harm, abuse, and discard these precious animals like garbage. The Humane society is always full or has no homes to place these lost souls. So when places like the animal shelter and ASPCA can truly be there for these animals I will gladly do more I live in Lethbridge and think it is pathetic that there is no immediate help for these animals!!! Why call by the time you get a response the animial is either beaten to near death or dead and the ones dumped left to fend for themselves. We should be ashamed of our society!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Other Parents Are Reading
How Can I Comfort My Baby During Shots?
My baby cries uncontrollably when she gets a shot. Is there anything I can do to make the experience less traumatic for her?
- Kate
Getting shots can be tough on you and your child, but the benefits are worth the effort. Fortunately, you can do a few things to make the experience less painful and stressful.
If your daughter is a newborn or under 5 months old, try a method called the "5 S's" immediately after she gets a vaccine. These are:
- swaddling immediately after the shot. You can also swaddle (wrapping a baby tightly in a blanket like a "burrito") before the shot, but leave your baby's legs exposed for the vaccination.
- placing her on her side or stomach
- making shushing sounds in her ear
- swinging her in your arms or an infant swing
- giving her the opportunity to suck (whether through breastfeeding, a bottle, or a pacifier)
Research has shown that doing at least 4 of the 5 S's greatly reduces the amount of time infants cry after getting a shot. If you are OK with breastfeeding your daughter at the doctor's office (to fulfill the sucking recommendation), this alone can be an effective method of distracting your baby and calming her down. You might even be able to do it while your child gets the vaccine.
For an older baby or a toddler, swaddling or shushing might not work. Try letting your child sit on your lap during the shot and distract her with a toy, book, or song. Try not to look upset or concerned. Children can pick up on your anxiety, and it can make them anxious as well.
Following a shot, you may give your child ibuprofen to relieve the pain (as long as she is 6 months old or older). Acetaminophen is rarely used these days because it can make immunizations less effective if given immediately before or after an injection.
Also, don't forget to praise your child afterward. A little positive reinforcement can make the next trip to the doctor easier. When possible, try to do something fun after the appointment. A trip to the park or playground can make the overall immunization experience less unpleasant.

The Cheetahs cruised to a 57-7 victory over Griquas on Friday.
Danwell Demas and Corne Uys scored a brace apiece as the central franchise racked up nine tries in all. Coach Naka Drotske will be pleased with the cohesion of the backs, who haven't had much time together as a unit.
The performance of the forwards was another highlight. Heinrich Brussouw, Juan Smith and Frans Viljoen gelled well as a loose trio which bodes well for the testing Super 14.
Cheetahs - Tries: Danwell Demas (2), Corne Uys (2), Juan Smith, Hendro Scholtz, Richardt Strauss, Bjorn Basson. Conversions: Tewis de Bruyn (3), Meyer Bosman (3).
Griquas - Try: Jonathan Mokuena, Conversion: Riaan Viljoen.
