Boil the kettle. In a non-stick frying or shallow pan with a lid, fry the onion, peppers, chorizo and garlic in the oil over a high heat for 3 mins. Stir in the rice and chopped tomatoes with 500ml boiling water, cover, then cook over a high heat for 12 mins.

If you don't want to spend time at the stove you can bake this dish in the oven. Tip the onion, peppers, chorizo, garlic and oil into an ovenproof dish, then bake for 15 mins at 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Stir in rice, tomatoes and water, cover, then bake for another 20 mins, stirring in prawns for the final 2 mins.

Added Paprika and Oregano to the vegetable when frying - I used 3 peppers (green,red and yellow) plus used chicken stock rather than water.
It was a good quick, cheap weekday meal - plus there were left overs for lunch the next day. Would add a bit more chorizo than recommended as does get lost within the dish!
Really nice. Don't go too crazy with the seasoning because you can over power it, but it does need a little something. I added zucchini instead of one of the peppers, and used a vegetable stock cube that I just chopped up roughly and put in with the water, as well as basil, and cayenne pepper to give it a little spice which was really nice. Finish with fresh lemon juice and black pepper at the table.
I made this using the oven method and it was delicious. I followed the tips from others below and used 1 knorr chicken stock pot, and let it cook for 20 mins rather than 15. This is such a tasty dish, for so little effort, and lets not forget it's one pot, so hardly any washing up either. I think this will become a regular in our household. I think it would work well with chicken too.
made this last night. Followed the advice and added smoked paprika and used stock cube. We also added more prawns but we are greedy! We really enjoyed it and it was very quick and easy to do. It's will definitely make this again may try adding a chopped chilli and some chicken pieces to make it a little like Jambalaya. Thanks for a good, easy, quick recipe.
Yum! I didn't add the full quantity of chorizo (as it's a strong flavour, and I wanted to keep the prawn flavour alive), but this turned out delicious. So easy to make as well. As suggested previously, I used chicken stock rather than just water - this is a great tip, and an easy substitute to pack more flavour punch. Will definitely make this one again.
Like other reviewers I added paprika and chicken stock and I had to swap out the peppers for broccoli because that's what I had. With these adjustments it was delicious. I'm guessing it would have been pretty bland without. It turns out to be very similar to the 20-minute seafood pasta one-pot dish that I often make but the chorizo adds a good twist and it was nice to get the kids eating rice instead of more pasta! I'll definitely make it again.
Following these comments we added a chicken stock cube and a teaspoon of paprika and seasoning and it worked well, otherwise think it would have been a bit flavourless. Would recommend throwing it other seafood; we found some reduced scallops in the supermarket and threw those it in too! Also need to keep stirring when cooking the rice as will stick otherwise.

Tips (2)
Decided it needed more seasoning so used a chicken stock pot melted into the 500ml boiling water, more chorizo (came in 150g tub, no point in using 1/3 of it!), an extra pepper (one left in pack, no point in letting it go to waste), approx 1tsp smoked paprika and 1tsp paprika. Very tasty, very filling, very easy and quick to make. Had it with a salad. Will probably try it with cooked chicken as well, as I bet that turns out tasty too.

It's not an excuse they're just better than we are, duh.
My point being that I'm not happy losing to the Heat either. But I'm not going to get worked up because we couldn't beat the best team in the Eastern Conference.
If we lose to the Pacers or the Suns or the Kings or the Blazers, then you'll hear me bitch and moan about it. I bitched and moaned more than anybody (well, probably not, but I did my fair share of whining) after the loss to the Cavaliers where Gallo shot 1-10 from 3 because that's not a game we were expected to lose, and if we lose to a sub-.500 team again I'll be the first to say the Knicks need to step it up. But losing by less than 10 to a Miami Heat team that as of right now looks like the best team in the NBA...no, not really reason to say the Knicks are playing poorly. They're playing great - just not better than the best yet.

Though it's never easy to see the summer come to its ceremonial end, Labor Day and the surrounding timespan, it does go down easier with good music to carry one into September. For us, that has happened in excess, over the past week or two.
Last Sunday, we were up in Albuquerque, participating in the artisan part of an Arts in the Park series, which naturally featured not only good artisans, but fine music. The blues band first to take the stage not only sounded like a blues band, but looked the part, porkpie hats, dreadlocks and all. Though there's something time-incongruous about listening to the blues at one o'clock in the afternoon, I'd travel to hear these guys at any time of the day. Howlin' Wolf or Muddy Waters would have gladly fronted for them, I am sure.
The second piece of entertainment was provided — appropriately, since this was Albuquerque — by a country/rock band that could've come straight off of Austin City Limits.
Well, maybe they actually have played that show. They ran through some classics, giving their own unique twist, but the fun really started when they opened up their own bag of original music. The afternoon, musically speaking, was closed out by a rancheria and salsa band, who played a variety of bilingual music, making me remember a long time promise to myself to take salsa lessons if we ever get the chance.
This weekend is, I am sure you know, the Clovis Musical Festival. Not to be outdone, our little city that was built on rock and roll served up some of its own best talent (Blackwater Band) along with the headliner act.
I don't know much about motorcycles. In 50 plus years I have never ridden on one, and that fact does not bother me in the least. That notwithstanding, by the time The Blackwater Band was finished, I was more than ready to go hear them at the Harley Event on Saturday. I am not sure what a guy on a road bicycle does at a Harley rally. For me, it will be listen to this great local group.
Mickey Thomas, of course, brought a phenomenal show to town. With a guitarist who looked, and sounded, straight out of an 80s metal band, an alto girl singer who lit the place up with "Somebody To Love" , thankfully not trying to be Grace Slick (it never pays to try to be someone else, especially if the someone else is a living legend), and Mickey Thomas who was — well, Mickey Thomas. The Starship brought a slice of San Francisco to Clovis — or took us to San Francisco for a while. I'm not sure which.
It seems that one of the favorite things my eighth graders like to find out about me is what makes my music box tick. Given their age, and the age most of them think I am, I suspect they think I listen to symphony and opera-light classical on a daring day.
Well, after the past week, I am not sure what the answer would be. Blues. Salsa/rancheria with a slice of reggae. Country rock. Classic rock with a heavy tinge of metal. To paraphrase a common saying — it's all good.

Stefano Rellandini / Reuters
Gondoliers row gondolas with tourists in a canal in Venice in this May 7, 2011 file photo.
ROME -- Venice appears to have more nicknames than street names. It's known as the "Queen of the Adriatic," the "City of Water," "City of Masks," "City of Bridges," "The Floating City," and "City of Canals."
But is Venice destined to become "The Divers' Paradise" much faster than we thought? New research by U.S. scientists suggests it is sinking more than five times faster than experts in Venice believe.
Saying that the city is sinking is just about as obvious as saying that the wind will always blow in Chicago. It's just a thing of nature. And there's nothing anybody can do to stop it.
While Venetians and tourists know that Venice's appeal is due to its undeniable beauty, with its Gothic and Byzantine palazzos appearing to float on the canals and lagoon, much of the city's allure comes from the fact that it appears to be disappearing.
So you don't need a scientist to tell you that Venice is sinking. In fact, sometimes they tell you otherwise. Back in the 1980s Venetians rejoiced at the news that the city had finally stabilized. But, to use an Italian sailor's jargon, that theory "loses water from all sides."
It's quite obvious to the naked eye (or rather, to the naked ankle when it floods) that parts of Venice are flooding more and more often. To tourists, walking in a flooded St. Mark's Square might be a unique photo opportunity, but to Venetians it's a sign of things to come.
History, architecture, art and much more - great Italian destinations!
So Venice is sinking. But the question remains -- how long will it take before it turns from floating jewel to a playground for divers?
The answer comes from a new research by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, expected to be published on Wednesday: Venice is still sinking, and sinking at a rate of up to two millimeters per year (0.08 inches).
City heading out to sea
There's more. Not only is the city being reclaimed by the waters that made it famous, it now looks like it's actually heading out to sea, as if the glorious capital of the former Maritime Venetian Republic is tired of being a tourist attraction and wants to die in the Adriatic.
According to measurements taken over 10 years, Venice is also tilting a bit, about a millimeter or two eastward per year. While this doesn't mean that you should buy a ticket right away in order to see Venice before it disappears, it raises concern that not enough is being done to save it.
A complex system of moving dams around Venice that took decades and millions of dollars to build is nearing completion. The new research could well call into question whether these major works will actually be enough to save the "Floating City."
One of the biggest experts on the state of Venice, Luigi Tosi, of Italy's National Research Center, pointed out that Venice's "sinking" was actually a combination of land subsidence and sea level rise.
He said the Scripps researchers' results "tell us nothing new." "We have published a paper back in 1992 that arrived to the same conclusions," he said.
But experts at Consorzio Venezia Nuova, the group in charge of safeguarding Venice and the lagoon, told NBC News they had a lot of questions about the Scripps report, saying they thought the city was sinking much more slowly.
Italy's Cinque Terre region readies for spring tourists
"I learned about the new research from journalists like yourself," said an official who asked not to be named. "We have records of the subsiding of Venice for hundreds of years, and yet they haven't called us."
But one thing is clear to the official -- 10 years of measurements might sound a lot to most people, but on Venice's standards it's the blink of an eye.
"We have calculated that the city has been sinking three to four centimeters (about 1.5 inches) per century," the official said.
That's not to say the people at Consorzio Venezia Nuova aren't paying attention, however.
"Now they say two millimeters per year…that means Venice would sink 20 centimeters (7.8 inches) every 100 years. That's more than five times more than we calculated. So I'll believe it when I see it," he said.
It's unclear whether the Scripps Institute team will contact the Consorzio before the research is published on Wednesday. But one way or another their difference will have to be reconciled … and it will be, once again, just water under the bridge.

Parents Of Slain Soldier Receive His Silver Star
At a Fort Drum ceremony Thursday night, the late Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis received the Silver Star, the third highest decoration a soldier can receive.
7 News reporter Chris Horvatits attended the moving ceremony. Click on the picture for his report.
The 10th Mountain Division soldier died in August while shielding an allied Polish soldier from an attack.
"I look at his accomplishments of what he's done," said his father, Robert Ollis. "As a father, I'm talking to you as a father, you can't be any more proud of one of your children."
The Ollises are not the only ones proud of Michael.
So are about 300 brothers in arms, all in attendance at the ceremony.
Some were superior officers who became emotional when talking about him.
"Today is bittersweet," said Col. Stephen Michael, commander of the 1st Brigade Combat Team. "Today we honor service and sacrifice and all that he's done and stood for."
"He ran to the sound of the guns," said 10th Mountain Division commander Maj. Gen. Stephen Townsend, "and ran into the breach."
The Ollises continue to live their lives one step at a time, with no regrets for what their son did.
Their reward -- a Silver Star -- to be a part of family history forever and to serve as a reminder.
"I'll think of how brave my son is and how selfless he is and how proud I am of him," said his mother, Linda Ollis. "And how I can't wait to see him again."
Gone, as they'll tell you. But never forgotten.

My son is 3 wks old (third child). He was happy as could be until this past week, and now it's all I can do to comfort him every hour of the day (including all through the night). I breastfeed him exclusively, and he's been a pro since Day One. He is off the charts growth-wise, and he wets and poops often.
I think I have an over-active letdown problem, but I had the same thing with my first son and I think I'm managing it well by nursing on one breast for two or three feedings and pulling my son off before he starts gagging on the rush of milk. But the poor thing has TERRIBLE pain in his tummy. I give him Little Tummys before or after every feeding, and this helps him somewhat, but he grunts and groans nearly all day. Once he has a bowel movement, he seems somewhat relieved and can finally rest. But shortly, the pain returns again, and so it goes all day. His bowel movements are yellow and seedy, just as they should be, right? I have noticed that they seem to irritate the skin on his bottom, eventhough I change him right away. Another weird development: his breath almost has a metallic smell to it . . . I really can't place the odor, but it's different enough to cause concern.
I think I may be making it worse, too, by comfort nursing him. It makes both of us feel better temporarily, but I think overfilling his tummy can't be good. At first, he nursed every two or three hours, like clockwork. Now, he nurses every hour, sometimes a few times an hour. I have tried a pacifier, but I feel guilty about it.
My son's pediatrician tells me there's nothing I can do, that babies go through this phase while their digestive system is developing. But, as a Mom, I can't fathom having my baby be in pain for so much of his day. It's draining both of us. I breastfed my first son for 14 months, and it was pure torture for both of us. His situation was much worse, with horribly acidic bowel movements in all colors of the rainbow. He didn't sleep through the night until he weaned. His pediatrician only suggested formula when I took him in to be seen. I even did the elimination diet thing, living off of peaches and rice for a month. It didn't make a difference for my son, but Mom lost about 20 pounds and was pretty much a zombie!
I would appreciate any advice, and so would my little one!

Cook & Son Baseball Stadiums and Roadtrips
Did a little doodling on a map of the U.S. today. Check it out:
This map shows all of the stadiums that Tim and I have visited since his first ballgame back on September 12, 2006. We live outside of Philadelphia, PA (to the west) and its a great spot for a baseball fan who isn't scared to hop in the car and drive a few hours. The red lines on this map show drives that Tim and I have made to baseball stadiums. Obviously, several of the red loops do not start in Pennsylvania. Those are roadtrips we have taken (usually with my dad on the annual Cook Grandfather-Father-Son Baseball Roadtrip) after flying to a starting point (i.e., Chicago, Oakland, Houston, and St. Petersburg).
In order, (not counting my countless games at the Kingdome and numerous games at Veterans Stadium before Tim's birth) Tim and I have visited the Stadiums in blue in the following order (order of first trip to a particular stadium):
- Safeco Field ('06-'11)
- Citizens Bank Park ('07-'11)
- Camden Yards ('07-'11)
- Yankee Stadium (1923) ('07)
- PNC Park ('07, '08, '10, '11)
- Great American Ball Park ('08, '11)
- Progressive Field ('08-'10)
- Shea Stadium ('08)
- Chase Field ('08)
- Citi Field ('09-'11)
- Nationals Park ('09-'11)
- Yankee Stadium (2009) ('09-'11)
- Fenway Park ('09)
- Wrigley Field ('09)
- H.H.H. Metrodome ('09)
- Miller Park ('09)
- U.S. Cellular Field ('09)
- Rogers Centre ('09)
- Oakland Coliseum ('10)
- Dodger Stadium ('10)
- Petco Park ('10)
- Angel Stadium of Anaheim ('10)
- AT&T Park ('10)
- Minute Maid Park ('11)
- Rangers Ballpark in Arlington ('11)
- Comerica Park ('11)
- Sun Life Stadium ('11)
- Turner Field ('11)
- Tropicana Field ('11)
Meanwhile, Kellan is on his way through the MLB circuit too. So far, he has been to ten games at six MLB stadiums:
- Safeco Field ('10-'11)
- Camden Yards ('11)
- Citi Field ('11)
- Yankee Stadium (2009) ('11)
- Citizens Bank Park ('11)
- Nationals Park ('11)
Back to the map, the 2012 Cook Grandfather-Father-Son Baseball Roadtrip is outlined in green on the map. This will be Kellan's first year on the roadtrip. We'll meet my dad in Minnesota for a game at Target Field (Tim's 30th stadium), then on to St. Louis for two games at Busch Stadium (Tim's 31st), to Kansas City for one game at Kauffman Stadium (Tim's 32nd, which will close out the American League for us), then we'll cap it off in Denver for two games at Coors Field (Tim's 33rd). Coors Field will be huge for us because it will mark the completion of our (first) trip around the MLB circuit — Tim and I we will have seen each team play at least one home game. Hooray. (Of course, we'll still have to get back to Miami to check out the new Marlins Ballpark).
So there you go. More fun times ahead for us at a bunch of great MLB ballparks.

Thanks so much for your comment and for buying my book! That's awesome to hear. I hope you're having fun recording games in it. I love documenting things in our blog, but its great to have that tangible book sitting on your desk or bookshelf storying all of your valuable baseball memories! At least that's how I feel. Thanks so much and I hope you really enjoy it.

How big is that map? It looks nice. You strap organized. I am plannnng on going to Seattle this year. It will be my first time. Dodgers play the Mariners. Might go to Miami.
It is a normal piece of printer paper. I just googled "blank map of US with major cities" and found it amoung the top search results. Glad you like it. Have fun at Safeco. It is awesome!
I'm planning on going to california to see the 3 stadiums in so cal this summer. I was reading your blog entries from when you went there last year. I became very puzzled when reading the Dodger Stadium entry regarding the parking lot openeing at the same time as the gates. What's the deal with this? I found out that season ticket holders get in like an hour earlier this year, which is great for when i go. But still, why such an odd parking policy?
I've only been to the one game at Dodger Stadium (well, one this century at least) so I have limited experience with it. But for my game, a big group of fans was held behind a gate at the opening of the parking lot and cars were turned away until the gates opened. Once the gates opened, they told us we could start walking up the hill to the stadium and they finally started letting cars into the parking lot. It was fairly annoying because my dad had to wait down the street until I called him and told him the lot was opened as Tim and I walked toward the gates. So my dad didn't get into the stadium for more than 10 minutes after us…maybe more.
Todd, what u should have done is tell someone that your dad needed help and they would have taking him to the entrance in one of those golf cart.
There is also the free shuttle busses from Union Station. U have to pay $6 there. Busses take you by the parking lot behind left field. Again, if you need help from.there ask. Also if you can't take the stairs they will let u on thru the field level to take the escalator, then the elevator by VinScully press box.
Livin the dream! ! Love it!!
What an amazing accomplishment to see all 32is stadiums…u guys are an inspiration for us all!!
BTW – just bought the book to record all games with our 8 month old….
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the info. I'll keep it in my back pocket for our next trip out to LA.
Thanks, man. That's awesome that you're getting (or got) the book. Thanks, again. I wish you tons and tons of good times to fill that book with great memories. Hopefully we'll meet up in DC and/or Baltimore something this season.
"if I were still going"…? You retired or something? You know, no, there isn't a blog entry about it. But with the comment at the top here, I started thinking maybe I should do one. Check back soon. I'll put something together.

text: Carbon is transported in various forms through the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and geologic formations. One of the primary pathways for the exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) takes place between the atmosphere and the oceans; there a fraction of the CO2 combines with water, forming carbonic acid (H2CO3) that subsequently loses hydrogen ions (H+) to form bicarbonate (HCO3−) and carbonate (CO32−) ions. Mollusk shells or mineral precipitates that form by the reaction of calcium or other metal ions with carbonate may become buried in geologic strata and eventually release CO2 through volcanic outgassing. Carbon dioxide also exchanges through photosynthesis in plants and through respiration in animals. Dead and decaying organic matter may ferment and release CO2 or methane (CH4) or may be incorporated into sedimentary rock, where it is converted to fossil fuels. Burning of hydrocarbon fuels returns CO2 and water (H2O) to the atmosphere. The biological and anthropogenic pathways are much faster than the geochemical pathways and, consequently, have a greater impact on the composition and temperature of the atmosphere.

- Title
- Bridging the gap between low- and high-mass dwarf galaxies
- Author(s)
- Forbes, Duncan A.; Spitler, Lee R.; Graham, Alister W.; Foster, Caroline; Hau, G. K. T.; Benson, Andrew
- Abstract
- While the dark matter content within the most-massive giant and smallest dwarf galaxies has been probed – spanning a range of over one million in mass – an important observational gap remains for galaxies of intermediate mass. This gap covers K-band magnitudes of approximately −16 > MK > −18 mag (for which dwarf galaxies have B−K∼ 2). On the high-mass side of the gap are dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxies that are dominated by stars in their inner regions. While the low-mass side includes dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies that are dark matter dominated and ultracompact dwarf (UCD) objects that are star-dominated. Evolutionary pathways across the gap have been suggested but remain largely untested because the 'gap' galaxies are faint, making dynamical measurements very challenging. With long exposures on the Keck telescope using the Echelle Spectrograph and Imager instrument, we have succeeded in bridging this gap by measuring the dynamical mass for five dwarf galaxies with MK& 8764;−17.5 (MB∼−15.5). With the exception of our brightest dwarf galaxy, they possess relatively flat velocity dispersion profiles of around 20 km s−1. By examining their 2D scaling relations and 3D fundamental manifold, we found that the sizes and velocity dispersions of these gap galaxies reveal continuous trends from dE to dSph galaxies. We conclude that low-luminosity dE galaxies are dominated by stars, not by dark matter, within their half light radii. This finding can be understood if internal feedback processes are operating most efficiently in gap galaxies, gravitationally heating the centrally located dark matter to larger radii, whereas external environmental processes, which can strip away stars, have a greater influence on dSph galaxies, resulting in their higher dark matter fractions. UCD objects appear to be more similar to massive compact star clusters than to small galaxies. Our dynamical study of low-mass dE galaxies provides further constraints on the processes that shape some of the smallest and most-numerous galaxies in the Universe.

Over the years, I have blogged several times about Walter Murch (see links below) whose work as a sound designer and film editor is notable in such movies as Julia, Apocalypse Now, Ghost, The English Patient, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. In my view, Murch has written one of the best screenwriting books — "The Blink of an Eye" — only it's not about screenwriting, but rather film editing. However since screenwriting is so much about scene construction, perspective, and transitions between scenes, I find Murch's insights profoundly beneficial to our craft.

nimation perhaps more so than any other genre is representative of how far film has come in its relatively short lifespan. What began as a brief treat for kids before the main feature has become one of the most dominant and lucrative fields of film, and its evolution is parallel to the evolution of technology's influence on the medium, as its growth and increased popularity are parallels to those of the art form at-large.

The new Volvo FMX
Volvo FMX Classic
The new Volvo FM
Volvo FM Classic
Do you drive a construction truck with manual gearbox? OK, then count how many times you shift gear in a working day.
OK, now let's talk about I-Shift with automated gear shifting.
Driving I-Shift is a real pleasure. Without the clutch pedal, you can safely sit back and concentrate on the other two. I-Shift uses its built-in intelligence to quickly and automatically choose the right gear at all times. And the software provides shifting skills that are impossible for even the best of drivers to match. Still, if you want to get more involved, you can. The buttons on the shift selector allow you to step in and shift gear manually.
Now I-Shift is an option also for AWD trucks.
Read the article with Astrid Drewsen about the expanding I-Shift offer
I-Shift is designed to save fuel. First of all, the internal losses are low – actually lower than on manual gearboxes. But it's the electronics that really make the difference.
When driving in Economy mode, every gear change is timed precisely, to let the engine work at its most efficient rpm range. And then there's I-Roll. It's a unique feature used when driving downhill, automatically disengaging the engine to make use of the truck's momentum instead of fuel. The result? Up to 2% lower fuel consumption.
It's when driving that you earn money, that's a well-known truth. So therefore we have made some changes that will increase your truck's uptime. We have increased the oil drain interval for both the I-Shift and the manual gearboxes, to 450,000 km. In the case of the I-Shift, we have also increased clutch lifetime and improved guided diagnostics.
It may seem strange. Beneath the surface of I-Shift, the hallmark of modern transmissions, hides an oldschool unsynchronised manual gearbox (hence the compact design and low internal losses). But of course there's much more to I-Shift than that. The secret lies in the intelligent electronic control unit. It's responsible for controlling the pneumatic system that handles the clutch and shifts. By constantly receiving information about vehicle speed, acceleration, weight, road grade, torque demand and more, it can carry out every shift with extreme precision. It also communicates closely with the engine, which in turn adjusts revs and engine brake effect for fast and comfortable shifting.
The software makes it possible to tailor I-Shift to your driving conditions.

"I was really proud of the way our boys played Friday night. G-P is a very good football team and we proved that we can play with teams at that level," said Trojan head coach Troy Moses.
"We took some big steps Friday night, we played our best overall game of the year."
The Wildcats used a big play from Bisby on a third and long call. Bisby was almost caught near the line of scrimmage, but broke free and rambled in from 49 yards out for the first TD with 5:19 gone in the first quarter.
The visitors took their next possession and carried the ball back into the end zone after converting on a fourth and four call deep in Beeville territory. Geiser then found an open receiver in the end zone from 14 yards out to make it 14-0 with 2:14 left in the quarter. Field position was in G-P's favor on both drives.
The Trojans looked good on their next possession and Roger Salazar moved the ball into the end zone on a three-yard run, following his blockers on the right side of the line. The TD capped a 14-play drive and made it a game at 14-7 with 8:16 left in the half. A 41-yard run by fullback Tristan Pelitire set up the score for the hosts.
The defense for the Trojans held off the Wildcats the rest of the first half. The Wildcat defense did the same and the scoreboard was still at 14-7 at the break.
The Trojans stalled on their attempt to tie the contest in the second half and had to settle for a 26-yard field goal from Marco Ulloa with 1:47 left in the third quarter to pull within four at 14-10.
Geiser then took control. With the Trojan defense bottling up Bisby and limiting his yards, Geiser broke free on a keeper for 58 yards and the third G-P touchdown of the night to make it 21-10 and give the Wildcats a little breathing room. The game was now a two possession contest. The G-P score came with 10 seconds left in the third period.
The Trojan offense sputtered the rest of the game and could not sustain a drive to reach the end zone. The G-P boys added another TD as time was winding down as Geiser went the final four yards to make the final a 27-10 win.
"The difference in the game was that we didn't take advantage of some opportunities that we had. Offensively we had a few little mistakes that cost us big," Moses said.
"Right now I am very confident in our team and where we are. We are playing our best at the right time."
G-P rushed for 248 yards on the night and added another 56 through the air. The Trojans ran for 191 yards on 42 carries. QB Cameron Kremers connected on just five of 16 pass attempts for 46 yards.
Pelitire finished with 101 yards on 14 totes but left the game in the third period after re-injuring his ankle. Friday's game was his first game back after rehabbing an earlier high-ankle sprain.
Salazar added 53 yards on 13 rushes. Steven Garcia went 28 yards on seven tries.
Hunter Hardy had two catches for 27 yards while Joe Rey Garza hauled in three of Kremer's passes for 19 yards.
Defensively, the Trojans played hard-hitting, aggressive ball. Linebacker Joey Granados led the way with eight tackles on the night. Conrad Ruiz added six while Dylan Knapp and Brent Puga each had five tackles.
The Trojans travel to Victoria on Friday to try and improve their 0-1 district record and 2-3 season mark. The West Warriors will provide the competition and the kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

St. J library reducing staff to boost finances
ST. JOHNSBURY The historic St. Johnsbury Athenæum is laying off its staff and rehiring some in an effort to reduce costs, end drastic withdrawals from its endowment and halt budget deficits.
The move, announced Dec. 3, gave staffers 60 days notice and will reduce the number of employees from 15 to nine. The previous arrangement included 11 part-timers, but the new arrangement will be mostly full-timers.
In response, a group of fellow library workers has arranged an assembly outside the Athenæum today.
The librarys move raised concern among several librarians elsewhere: one from the Northeast Kingdom, another from Rutland and the rest in Chittenden County.
We really just hope to bring awareness to the issue to demonstrate the people make the library, said one of the organizers, University of Vermont librarian Amber Billey. A library is more than bricks and mortar and books on shelves.
Today at noon, supporters will hold hands around the historic structure. A similar action nearly two years ago at the New York Public Library in Manhattan prompted the city to reconsider significant staffing cuts. More than 50 people plan to attend todays event, based on postings in a Facebook group.
State Librarian Martha Reid said the restructuring in St. Johnsbury is unique in the state.
Certainly it echoes what were seeing across the country, she said.
Reid said Vermonts libraries are mostly in small towns, which can bring them in conflict with municipal budgets.
The St. Johnsbury library is a private nonprofit that received about 17 percent of its budget for operations in 2011 from the town.
Budget deficits for the library have been routine for the last 10-plus years, and it has had to draw as much as 20 percent of its endowment, significantly higher than its recommended withdrawal rate of 4.5 percent, said the librarys executive director, Matthew Powers, on Friday. The endowment stands at about $2 million.
Were finding that with a bad economy people are having a hard time justifying giving to a lot of different organizations, and so everybody is feeling the crunch across the board, Powers said.
As part of the restructuring, eight librarian positions will turn into four positions with library functions. Existing staff will be given hiring priority, and the library is offering settlement packages, according to a Dec. 12 letter the library distributed.
As libraries have reduced operating hours and staff schedules in recent years, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Public Library Association have taken notice and responded with funding. For Vermont, a program called Turning the Page 2.0 consequently was developed, helping librarians learn how to better engage communities and draw increased support.
Trustees of the St. Johnsbury Athenæum had a retreat in 2009 that helped steer the library toward sustainability, and hours for part-time staffers were reduced in 2011, Powers said. Trustees mandated last year that the library have a balanced budget by Jan. 1, 2015.
As part of the changing landscape, the library is working to secure more grants and provide more programming as well as revamping its Internet capabilities, making the facility completely wireless and providing high-speed access, Powers said.

Just over two weeks ago, Christus Spohn Medical Group announced that is was discontinuing service at the former Beeville Medical Associates office location.
The clinic will no longer see patients after July 19, but clinic offices will be open until Oct. 1 for patients to obtain medical records and inquire about their options for medical care.
Doctors at the facility announced that the clinic will reopen in early August under new management.
"The new management is headed by Dr. John McNeill, who has Twin Fountains Medical Clinics in Victoria, Port Lavaca and Rockport," Karole Beasley wrote in a news release along with Arthur Chin, Frank R. Dehnisch Jr. and Karl Stein, all practicing family medicine, and Francisco Miranda, who specializes in pediatric care.
Some of the details are still being discussed such as what to call the facility.
"We have not decided that yet," Beasley said. "We are getting there."
Beasley said that the goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible for the patients.
"Twin Fountains Medical Clinic has worked closely with Christus Physician Network to ensure a smooth transition and continued quality care for the existing Beeville Medical Associates patients," Beasley said in the news release.
"For the sake of our patients we hope that Christus Physician Network will agree to make all the medical records available at the current location."
For many of the patients, she said, the transition should be simple.
"Most patients will come and see us as usual.
"The biggest difference is Spohn won't be running the clinic," she said. Now, administrative decisions will be made by management at Twin Fountains.
Those patients whose insurance companies require doctors be in certain networks will have to verify information before continuing to use the clinic.
Both Beasley and Chin will remain at the clinic at 1602 E. Houston Highway.
Additionally, a Twin Fountains walk-in clinic will open in Dr. James Chandler's former clinic in September.
Chandler retired about a year ago after 30 years as a family practitioner.
He opened his office in 1992, following medical school and residency in Houston.
Katy Kiser, communication manager and media relations with Christus Spohn Health System, said that they will mail letters to patients of the clinic informing of them of the transition.
She assured the community that they will continue to receive the medical care they are used to receiving.
"Currently there are five primary care practices in Beeville, which serve the town and outlying areas competently and with great care, to an estimated patient base of 14,000," she said. "With the addition of Dr. McNeill's clinic, Beeville has even greater coverage than before.
"Also, next door at Christus Spohn Hospital Beeville, there is an expanded emergency department and intensive care unit ready to provide needed emergency services."
The medical group, and the hospital, remain committed to the community, she said.
"Christus Spohn has a long-standing service record with the town of Beeville," Kiser said. "We opened our hospital in 1996 and since then, have remained committed to the health of Bee, Live Oak, Karnes, McMullen, Goliad, Refugio and San Patricio County citizens.
"And we continue to manage the only Level IV Trauma Center in the area. We are Beeville's health care partner and this will not change."
It was about two years ago that Christus Spohn Medical Group purchased this operation in a deal which became final July 20, 2011.
