Old Walcountians paid the price for leaving it late as they went down 25-17 at Kingston in Surrey One on Saturday.
The Counts were missing two of their most forceful forwards in Matt Pridding and Remy Claustres, but this alone did not explain a lacklustre first half performance in which a powerful and efficient Kingston pack won the majority of possession.
The Kingston backs also played well and their fly-half drilled Walcountians backwards with a series of searching tactical kicks.
Walcountians held out until the 17th minute, but a try from Kingston's blind-side flanker after their inside-centre had carved a hole in the defence marked the beginning of the host's drive towards victory.
Kingston were 12 points up on 25 minutes when their open-side flanker caught Walcountians napping with a touchline break which yielded their second try.
Although Walcountians went close to opening their account two minutes later when flanker Gerry Connor was held up on the line after fly-half Tom Diamond had opened up the Kingston defence, Kingston added their third try in the 33rd minute when their number eight was put clear after his fellow forwards recycled the ball from a ruck in the Walcountians' 22.
Walcountians were a transformed side in the second half, with the forwards, inspired by skipper Steve Cowlin, starting to compete for possession and showing more aggression in driving play forwards.
The Counts' dangerous half-backs, Tom and Will Diamond, began to see much more possession and began to run the Kingston defence ragged.
Five minutes into the second half, Walcountians were back in the game after forceful centre Chris Walsh bounced off two attempted tackles and forced his way over for a try.
Walcountians were conceding too many penalties and Kingston's fly-half successfully converted two kicks to stretch Kingston's lead.
However, the middle part of the second half saw Walcountians stun Kingston as elusive fly-half Tom Diamond scored two breathtaking tries and put them back in the game.
The first came when he took the ball after the Counts forwards recycled the ball from a ruck and swerved past several defenders to touch down.
The second followed when Steve Cowlin fed the backs and the mercurial Diamond left four defenders in his wake as he danced his way over for a try which he converted himself.
Walcountians' chance of victory evaporated after they were reduced to 14 players for the closing minutes after lock Pete Cowlin was sin-binned for a late tackle.
Walcountians have no game next Saturday and return to League action on October 20 when they take on newly-promoted Old Cranleighans (kick-off at Clock House is at 3pm).

Paulette Jiles has written across many genres --- including fiction, memoir and poetry --- but clear across all her work is a deep love of the landscape of the Southwest. In her latest book, NEWS OF THE WORLD, she demonstrates that fondness and more in an exquisitely rendered tale about a Civil War captain who must choose between respectability and compassion --- with the life of a young girl hanging in the balance. In this interview, Jiles discusses the real-life inspiration for her protagonist, Captain Kidd, her manifest love of the outdoors, and how good research can be like an addiction.

Jade Chang is a former arts and culture journalist, whose debut novel, THE WANGS VS. THE WORLD, is a hilariously subversive immigrant story about a wealthy but fractured Chinese family that had it all, only to lose every last cent --- and about the road trip they take across America that binds them back together. In this interview conducted by Carol Fitzgerald, the president and co-founder of The Book Report Network, Chang talks about her unique approach to a classic story type, how she enjoys finding humor in unexpected places, and the surprising way she was able to research the Wangs' cross-country adventure.

In THE LIFE SHE WANTS, #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr delivers yet another moving story that will leave readers laughing and crying, about two friends who must confront their pasts in order to move toward their futures. In this interview with The Book Report Network's very own Rebecca Munro, Carr explains why she loves to write about women's friendship and why women's issues will always be at the foreground of all her novels. She also opens up about why she has moved on from historical fiction and what readers can expect from her next.
Tilar J. Mazzeo is the New York Times bestselling author of multiple nonfiction books that tell stories of strong, resourceful women in impossible situations. In this interview, Mazzeo opens up about the joys and obstacles of historical storytelling, including --- as is the case with her latest book, IRENA'S CHILDREN, about a real-life social worker who risked her life to save 2,500 children from the Holocaust --- becoming emotionally attached to her subjects. She also discusses why the telling of history, be it personal or national, can never be subjective.

A former journalist, Sherryl Woods is now the bestselling author of over 100 mystery and romance books. In 2007, she published MENDING FENCES --- the story of how a rape accusation threatens to shatter the bond between two families --- and is now re-releasing it because the issues are so timely. In this interview with The Book Report Network's Megan Elliott, Woods discusses what led her to write about such a difficult subject, the unfortunate reason she was able to empathize with victims of abuse, and why she remains so interested in and moved by female friendship.

Hi All,
I just started looking over your site this week and went out and picked up How To Grill. I've read through a lot of posts already, seems like a nice bunch of folks on here, and I just had to register myself as a member. So naturally I already have a question.
Is the Brinkman Professional Grill a comparable grill to the Weber kettle in terms of functionality or is it intended for smoking and not really a primary grill? One poster on here said he saw it at Sam's Club for around $150 and that it is a very solid piece of equipment with a large cooking area...though I don't know how much larger than the Weber? Does anyone know more about this model or have it and can add some impressions of it?
If it is larger than the Weber and is comparable in cooking applications I may be inclined to get it over the Weber since the price of the Weber Platinum is around $199.
I may not know a lot about all this stuff yet but I do know I want to burn wood as soon as possible...you folks have me psyched.

Building a Clean Energy Future: Technology, Policy and Finance
Dan Reicher, Director of Climate Change and Energy Initiatives, Google.org
Friday, October 12, 2007, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
Quicktime Large (105 MB)
Quicktime Small (66 MB)
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series and the Dartmouth Energy Symposium
About the Speaker
Dan W. Reicher has over 20 years of experience in business, government and non-governmental organizations focused on energy and environmental technology, policy, finance and law. He recently joined Google where he serves as Director of Climate Change and Energy Initiatives for the company's new venture called Google.org. Google.org has been capitalized with more than $1 billion of Google stock to make investments and advance policy in the areas of climate change and energy, global poverty, and global health.
Prior to his recent position at Google, Mr. Reicher served as President and Co-Founder of New Energy Capital Corp., a New England-based company that develops, invests in, owns and operates renewable energy and distributed generation projects. Mr. Reicher is also a member of General Electric's Ecomagination Advisory Board.
From 1997-2001, Mr. Reicher was Assistant Secretary of Energy for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). As Assistant Secretary, he directed annually more than $1 billion in investments in energy research, development and deployment related to renewable energy, distributed generation and energy efficiency. Prior to that position, Mr. Reicher was DOE Chief of Staff (1996-97), Assistant Secretary of Energy for Policy (Acting) (1995-1996), and Deputy Chief of Staff and Counselor to the Secretary (1993-1995). He was also a member of the U.S. Delegation to the Climate Change Negotiations, Co-Chair of the U.S. Biomass Research and Development Board, and a member of the board of the government-industry Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles. After leaving the Clinton Administration in 2001 he was a consultant to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and a Visiting Fellow at the World Resources Institute.
In 2002, Mr. Reicher became Executive Vice President of Northern Power Systems, a venture capital-backed renewable energy and distributed generation engineering, services and technology company with installations in more than forty-five countries. Mr. Reicher led the renewable energy sales group at Northern and also was actively involved with the company's project finance, government relations and public affairs initiatives. He also played a significant role in the successful sale of the company to Proton Energy Systems, a leading hydrogen company, and the simultaneous creation of Distributed Energy Systems, a new NASDAQ-listed holding company that now owns both Northern Power and Proton Energy.
Prior to his roles at the Department of Energy and in the business community, Mr. Reicher was a senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council where he focused on the federal government's energy and nuclear programs as well as environmental law and policy issues in the former Soviet Union. He was also previously Assistant Attorney General for Environmental Protection in Massachusetts, a law clerk to a federal district court judge in Boston, a legal assistant in the Hazardous Waste Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, and a staff member of President Carter's Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island.
Mr. Reicher currently is co-chairman of the advisory board of the American Council on Renewable Energy and a member of the boards of the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, the Vermont Energy Investment Corporation, the Keystone Center's Energy Program, and Circus Smirkus. He was also recently a member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Alternatives to Indian Point for Meeting Energy Needs.
Mr. Reicher also recently served as an adjunct professor at the Yale University School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and Vermont Law School. He holds a B.A. in Biology from Dartmouth College and a J.D. from Stanford Law School. He also studied at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
Mr. Reicher was a member of a National Geographic-sponsored expedition that was the first on record to navigate the entire 1888 mile Rio Grande and was also a member of the first group on record to kayak the Yangtze River in China.
Mr. Reicher is married to Carole Parker, who headed the Office of Pollution Prevention at the U.S. Department of Defense from 1994 to 1999. Carole and Dan have three children and live in Norwich Vermont. The family will be relocating to California in August 2007.

The Game
No. 18/23 Kansas State (12-2, 1-0 Big 12) will make its first trip to West Virginia in over 60 years on Saturday afternoon, as the Wildcats face former head coach Bob Huggins and his Mountaineers (8-6, 1-1 Big 12) at the WVU Coliseum for a 12:47 p.m. CT tip. The game will be broadcast on the Big 12 Network with Mark Neely (play-by-play) and Stephen Howard (analyst) on the call. Riding its second five-game winning streak of the season (won its first five games from Nov. 9-21), the Wildcats will be playing just its second true road game after earning a 65-62 win at George Washington on Dec. 8. Overall, the squad has won four consecutive road games, including three in a row in Big 12 play, dating back to last season. The Wildcats have improved their play on the road in the Big 12, posting a 25-24 record over the past six seasons (which began with Huggins in 2006-07) after winning just 10 of 80 road games in the league's first 10 years (1997-2006). Huggins helped guide K-State to its first 20-season and first postseason appearance in eight seasons in 2006-07, as his Wildcats posted a 23-12 record and advanced to the second round of the NIT. The 23 wins were the most-ever by a first-year head coach in school history and the most since the 1987-88 season. K-State has since collected a school-record six consecutive 20-win seasons. This will mark the ninth time K-State has faced a former head coach (Tex Winter, Lon Kruger and Huggins) with the Wildcats winning just one of those previous eight meetings (a 95-80 win over a Kruger-coached UNLV squad on Dec. 12, 2009). Last season, Huggins' Mountaineers outlasted the Wildcats, 85-80, in double-overtime on Dec. 8, 2011 in the Wichita Wildcat Classic at INTRUST Bank Arena.
Television Note
Saturday's contest will be the second of eight games on the Big 12 Network. The league television package can be seen locally on KSHB-TV in Kansas City, KSAS-TV in Wichita and KSNT-TV in Topeka. The game can also seen in the Big 12 region on KTXA-TV in Dallas, KTVI-TV in St. Louis, KOCB-TV in Oklahoma City, KYMT-TV in Tulsa, WOI-TV in Des Moines, KXVO-TV in Omaha, KUBE-TV in Houston and KCWX-TV in San Antonio. All games on the Big 12 Network can be found on ESPN Full Court as well as ESPN3.com.
K-State Update
K-State is ranked in both major polls, jumping seven spots in The Associated Press Top 25 poll to No. 18 and earning its first ranking this season in the USA Today Coaches poll at No. 23. It marks the third straight week that the Wildcats have been ranked in the AP poll, while the No. 18 ranking is the highest in the AP poll since also placing 18th on Jan. 9, 2012. The program has now been ranked at least one week in each of the last four years, which had not happened since doing it six straight years from 1972-78.
The Opponent
West Virginia (8-6, 1-1 Big 12) has won four of its last five games, including a 57-53 win in overtime at Texas on Wednesday. The Mountaineers rallied from a 13-point second-half deficit to earn its first-ever Big 12 win. The squad is averaging 68.3 points on 39 percent shooting, including 27.6 percent from 3-point range, while holding opponents to 66 points on 42.4 percent shooting. Junior Aaric Murray paces the team in scoring (10.6 ppg.), rebounding (7.7 rpg.) and blocked shots (1.6 bpg.), while sophomore Juwan Staten averages 10.5 points per game to go with team-highs in assists (2.9 apg.), steals (1.4 spg.) and minutes (30.9 mpg.). The Mountaineers are a balanced team with seven players averaging at least five points and three rebounds. One of only four active Division I coaches with 700 wins, coach Bob Huggins has a 718-273 (.725) record in his 31st season overall, including a 128-62 (.674) mark at his alma mater. He is 1-1 against K-State with loss while at Akron (1988) to go with last year's win.
Last Meeting: West Virginia 85, Kansas State 80 (2 OTs) [Dec. 8, 2011]
Kevin Jones led four players in double figures with 30 points, as West Virginia won a thrilling 85-80 double-overtime win over K-State at the Wichita Wildcat Classic at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita on Dec. 8, 2011. The two teams battled through nine lead changes and 17 ties before the Mountaineers scored the game's final five points. Rodney McGruder led three Wildcats in double figures with 20 points, while Will Spradling and Thomas Gipson added 16 and 15 points, respectively.
This will be the third meeting between K-State and West Virginia on the hardwood and the first in Morgantown since the Wildcats posted a 49-44 win over the Mountaineers on Dec. 12, 1949. Head coach Bruce Weber has never faced West Virginia.
Quickly on Kansas State
--Kansas State's 12-2 start ties for the second-best to start a season in the last 25 seasons behind the 13-1 starts by the 2009-10 squad. The win over No. 22/21 Oklahoma State snapped a four-game losing streak in Big 12 openers and was the first since an 84-82 win at Oklahoma on Jan. 12, 2008. It was also the first win in a home Big 12 opener since a 68-44 victory over Texas Tech on Jan. 11, 2002. The Wildcats' two losses are to Top 10 teams in current No. 2/2 Michigan and No. 8/9 Gonzaga. The team faced three Top 15 teams (No. 4 Michigan, No. 14 Gonzaga and No. 8 Florida) in non-conference play for the first time in school history (since the 1949-50 season when rankings became available). K-State posted double-digit non-conference games for the seventh straight season, including its first regular-season Top 10 non-conference win (No. 8 Florida) since 1981.
--Bruce Weber's 12-2 record ties Zora Clevenger (1916-17) for the best start by a first-year K-State head coach in the program's 109-year history. The best campaign by a first-year head coach in school history is still held by Clevenger, who led the Wildcats to a 15-2 (.882) mark in his inaugural season in 1916-17. Clevenger made most of his impact on the gridiron, where he was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and was the founder of the East-West Shrine football game.
--K-State is having a stellar start to the 2012-13 athletics season, as the Wildcats have one of the best winning percentages among Bowl Championship Series (BCS) schools when combining football and men's and women's basketball records. As of Thursday's results, the school's 33 wins tie for 11th nationally and its .786 winning percentage (33-9) places 12th. K-State is one of 25 BCS schools (along with Big 12 schools Baylor, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State) with 30+combined wins among its three major sports. The football team produced just its second 11-win regular season in school history, while it advanced to a BCS game (Fiesta Bowl) for the first time in eight years. The men's basketball team is off to its second-best start (12-2) in the past 25 seasons, while the women's basketball team has won 10 of its first 15 games. If you take into account the success of the women's volleyball team, which won 20 matches and advanced to NCAA Tournament, the Wildcats are 54-18 (.750) since August 24.
--The Wildcats are in the midst of their second five-game winning streak of the season after winning their first five games from Nov. 9-21. The team has posted 14 winning streaks of at least five games (including 10-game streak from Nov. 21, 2009 to Jan. 3, 2010) in the last six seasons. The squad has not won six consecutive games since winning six games from Dec. 11-31, 2011.
--K-State received its first national ranking of the season on Dec. 24, appearing at No. 25 in The Associated Press Top 25 with 152 points, and jumped seven spots to No. 18 (with 472 points) in the latest poll on Jan. 7. The No. 18 ranking is the highest since also checking in at No. 18 on Jan. 9, 2011. In addition, the squad earned its first ranking in the USA Today Coaches poll on Jan. 7 at No. 23. All three Division I schools in the state of Kansas are ranked (No. 8 Kansas, No. 18 K-State and No. 23 Wichita State) in the AP poll for the first time since the 1964-65 preseason poll. K-State has now been ranked in the AP poll at least one week in each of the last four seasons, a feat which has not happened since doing it six consecutive seasons from 1972-78. The Wildcats have a 241-91 (.726) all-time record as a ranked team, including a 17-9 (.654) mark as the No. 18 team.
--K-State ranks in the Top 50 in nine categories nationally, including second in offensive rebounds (16.4), eighth in 3-point field goal percentage defense (26.5), 15th in rebounding margin (+9.0), 17th in scoring defense (56.9), 20th in rebounding (41.1), 34th in assists (16.2), 39th in scoring margin (+12.9), 41st in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.26) and 46th in field goal percentage defense (38.5). The Wildcats rank in the Top 5 in 16 of 21 Big 12 categories, including first in offensive rebounds and second in scoring defense, 3-point field goal percentage defense, rebounding, rebounding margin and assist-to-turnover ratio.
--Nine of the 14 games have been at home (including a home game vs. No. 8/9 Florida in Kansas City's Sprint Center), where the Wildcats have won 11 straight dating back to last season (including 10 in a row at Bramlage Coliseum). The school extended its non-conference home winning streak to 48 after a win over South Dakota on Dec. 31. K-State has won 29 straight non-conference home games in December and boast a 40-1 mark in the month at Bramlage Coliseum the past 10 seasons with the last loss coming to Rutgers on Dec. 28, 2004. The team is a combined 96-21 (.821) in November/December home games since 2003-04.
--K-State has a distinct advantage on offense and defense at home, averaging 73.7 points on 44.7 percent shooting, including 33.7 percent from 3-point range, while allowing just 53.2 points on 35.4 percent shooting, including 25 percent from beyond the arc, in 10 games. In its four neutral and road games this season, the team is averging nearly 14 points less (60.0 ppg.) on 36.2 percent shooting, including 30.3 percent from 3-point range, while allowing 66 points on 46.3 percent shooting.
--The Wildcats have been one of the best first-half defensive teams, holding its 14 opponents to just 23.9 points on 35.1 percent shooting, including 23.3 percent from 3-point range. It has held four opponents to 20 points or less in the first half. In contrast, the squad is allowing 33.0 points in the second half on 41.8 percent shooting, including 29.3 percent from beyond the arc.
--K-State had a tremendous semester in the classroom, as the team had a cumulative 2.839 GPA (the highest in 12 years) during the Fall 2012 semester. A program-best eight players - Adrian Diaz, Rodney McGruder, Angel Rodriguez, Brian Rohleder, Ryan Schultz, Shane Southwell, Will Spradling and Nino Williams - were named to the Fall Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll on Jan. 9. Rohleder was one of 31 student-athletes to post a perfect 4.0 GPA during the semester.
We Meet Again
Saturday's meeting with former coach Bob Huggins (2006-07) at West Virginia will mark the ninth time that K-State has faced a former head coach (Tex Winter, Lon Kruger and Huggins) in a game with the Wildcats winning just one of those eight previous meetings (a 95-80 win over a Kruger-led UNLV squad on Dec. 12, 2009 in Las Vegas). K-State lost twice to Winter (Washington in 1971 and Long Beach State in 1978), while the Wildcats are 1-4 against Kruger in his stops at Illinois (1999), UNLV (2009, 2010) and Oklahoma (2012) and 0-1 against Huggins at West Virginia (2011). Interestingly enough, the Wildcats are 5-0 against head coaches prior to them coming to K-State. The school went 1-0 against Winter at Marquette (1953), 3-0 against Jack Hartman at Southern Illinois (1964, 1968 and 1969) and 1-0 against Huggins at Akron (1988).
Historic Win
The 67-61 win over No. 8/9 Florida in the Hy-Vee Wildcat Classic on Dec. 22 was the first regular-season, non-conference Top 10 victory since knocking off No. 8 Minnesota at home, 62-52, on Dec. 21, 1981. Overall, it was just the 12th non-conference Top 10 win in school history (and the first since defeating No. 3 Purdue, 73-70, and then assistant coach Bruce Weber on March 25, 1988 in the NCAA Tournament), including the seventh in the regular season. Aside from Minnesota in 1981 and Florida in 2012, the Wildcats have also beaten No. 4 Long Island (85-65) on Jan. 31, 1951, No. 7 Notre Dame (80-64) on Dec. 19, 1952, No. 4 N.C. State (69-67) on Dec. 19, 1958, No. 5 North Carolina (77-69) on Dec. 16, 1960 and No. 9 St. John's (63-50) on Dec. 16, 1961.
Balanced Attack
K-State has proven to be a balanced team across the board with six players averaging five or more points, including just one in double figures, and seven averaging three or more rebounds per game. Senior Rodney McGruder (14.7 ppg.) is the only Wildcat to average in double figures, while four others - Angel Rodriguez (9.5 ppg.), Will Spradling (8.9 ppg.), Thomas Gipson (7.9 ppg.) and Nino Williams (7.1 ppg.) - are averaging better than seven points per contest. The team has seen nine players collect 38 double-digit scoring games with McGruder (10) leading the way. In all, the Wildcats have had six players lead or share the lead in scoring led by McGruder has done it six times. Gipson (6.6 rpg.) paces the squad in rebounding despite leading in a game just four times, while Nino Williams (5.5 rpg.), McGruder (5.5 rpg.) and Jordan Henriquez (4.3 rpg.) are averaging better than four rebounds per game. The team has had eight players either lead or share the lead in rebounding.
The Wildcats have also been diverse in other categories, including seven players with double-digit assists and five with double-digit steals. Rodriguez has dished out a team-best 55 assists with six players either leading or sharing the lead in assists. McGruder has a team-best 18 steals, while eight have either led or shared the lead in steals. Five players -- Spradling (30.7 mpg.), McGruder (30.6), Rodriguez (23.1), Gipson (20.6) and Shane Southwell (20.4) -- are each averaging more than 20 minutes, while six others are averaging double-digit minutes. Seven players have at least one start with McGruder and Spradling starting all 14.
On the Defensive
K-State has continued to be one of the best defensive teams not only in the Big 12, but nationally, where the squad entered the week ranking eighth nationally in 3-point field goal percentage defense (26.5), 15th in rebounding margin (+9.0), 17th in scoring defense (56.9), 20th in rebounding (41.2) and 46th in field goal percentage defense (38.5). In all, the Wildcats rank either first or second in six Big 12 defensive categories, including second in scoring defense, rebounding, rebounding margin, 3-point field goal percentage defense and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.3). The squad is fourth in field goal percentage defense (38.5).
The 796 points surrendered through the first 14 games are the fewest in the shot clock era (1985-86) and the fewest since the 1982-83 squad allowed just 731 points (52.2 ppg.) through the first 14 games. The team has held 10 of its 14 opponents to 65 points or less, including seven to 55 points or less, while six have been held to under 40 percent shooting and four to under 20 percent shooting from 3-point range. The defensive effort was nearly historic in the 87-26 win over Alabama-Huntsville on Nov. 13, as the 26 points allowed were one shy of the Bramlage Coliseum record of 25 set against Savannah State on Jan. 7, 2008. The Chargers' 16.4 field goal percentage (9-of-55) was only surpassed by Savannah State's 15.5 percentage.
Rebounding Prowess
K-State continues to be one of the best rebounding squads in the country, as the Wildcats tie for 20th nationally in rebounding (41.1), including second in offensive rebounds (16.4), and 15th in rebounding margin (+9). The team ranks second in the Big 12 in rebounding and rebounding margin, while they are the clear leader in offensive rebounds (16.4 to Iowa State's 15.3). Overall, the Wildcats have out-rebounded their foes by a 575-449 margin, including 229-146 on the offensive end. The squad is 11-0 this season when out-rebounding its opponent. K-State is one of just two Big 12 schools (along with Iowa State) to have three players rank in the Big 12's Top 20 in rebounding, which includes Thomas Gipson (6.6 rpg., 12th), Nino Williams (5.5 rpg., 17th) and Rodney McGruder (5.5 rpg., 18th). K-State joins Baylor with three players in the league's Top 15 in offensive boards, which includes Gipson (3.4, 1st), Williams (2.7, 7th) and D.J. Johnson (2.2, 13th). The team has collected 40+ rebounds in seven games, including a season-best 55 vs. UAH on Nov. 13, while they have tallied 20+ offensive boards three times. The Wildcats grabbed 42 defensive rebounds vs. UAH, which ties for the second-most in school history and are the most since 1998.
The Wildcats have taken advantage of its rebounding skills this season, averaging 30.2 points in the paint and 15.4 points off of second-chance opportunities. The team has at least 30 points in the paint in eight games, including a season-high 46 vs. Texas Southern on Dec. 18, while it has tallied at least 15 second-chance points eight times with a season-best 23 vs. USC Upstate.
Points Off Turnovers
A trademark of Frank Martin-coached teams were their ability to score points off of opponent's mistakes and Bruce Weber has continued that legacy in his first season. The Wildcats are out-scoring their opponents, 215-165 (an average of 15.4 points per game), through the first 14 games in points off of turnovers. K-State is forcing its opponents into 15.1 turnovers per game (ties for third-most in the Big 12), including a season-high 26 by Lamar, while turning the ball over an average of 12.9 times per game (fourth-lowest in the Big 12). The 1.3 assist-to-turnover ratio ranks 41st nationally and second in the Big 12. In Martin's five seasons, the Wildcats scored 3,081 points off of 2,763 turnovers in 169 games - an average of 18.2 points per game. Nearly 25 percent of the points scored in that five-year period came off of offense generated from turnovers. The school has scored 500 or more points off of opponent turnovers in six straight seasons, including 577 (17.5 average per game) in 2011-12.
Bench Production
Adding to the K-State's balanced attack is the production it's getting from its bench, where the Wildcats are averaging 23.9 points, including a 335-208 edge over opponents. The team has collected at least 20 points from its bench in nine games, including 45 points vs. North Dakota on Nov. 9. Reserves have scored nearly half of the team's points four times with Thomas Gipson tying for the scoring lead against North Dakota and Delaware and Shane Southwell leading the way with a career-best 16 points vs. Alabama-Huntsville. Nino Williams posted a career-high 17 points off the bench in the win over No. 22/21 Oklahoma State. The rebounding leader has come from the bench in six games with D.J. Johnson posting a team-high vs. North Dakota (9) and Lamar (8), Southwell recording a career-high nine boards vs. UAH, Adrian Diaz grabbing a career-best 10 vs. North Florida, Gipson tying Will Spradling for the rebounding lead (6) vs. Delaware and Williams snagging seven boards vs. No. 8/9 Florida. Over 40 percent (246) of the rebounding total and nearly 35 percent of the scoring total has come from the bench.
Protecting The Ball
K-State has been solid protecting the ball this season, as the squad ranks second in the Big 12 in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.3) and fifth in turnover margin (+2.2). Through the first 14 games, the Wildcats have produced 12.9 turnovers per game (fourth-lowest average in Big 12), while forcing its foes into an average of 15.1 turnovers (tied for third-most in the Big 12). The team has 14 or fewer turnovers in nine games, including just six vs. No. 4/4 Michigan on Nov. 23, while they have forced their opponents into 19 or more turnovers four times, including a season-high 26 by Lamar on Nov. 12. K-State has also capitalizing on its foes' mistakes, averaging 15.4 points off of turnovers, while allowing opponents to score just 11.8 points per game off of its miscues.
More on Ball Protection
Seven Wildcats have posted an even or positive assist-to-turnover ratio this season, including its four primary ball-handlers (Angel Rodriguez, Martavious Irving, Shane Southwell and Will Spradling) combining for 161 assists to 73 turnovers (2.2 ratio). The current ratio for the quartet is a solid improvement after posting a 1.4 ratio (302 assists to 211 turnovers) as a group in 2011-12. Spradling (2.8, 1st) and Rodriguez (2.0, 3rd) both rank in the Big 12's Top 5 in assist-to-turnover ratio and are two of three players in the league with a ratio above 2.0. Spradling, who has 48 assists to just 17 turnovers, led the team with a 1.7 assist-to-turnover ratio a season ago, while Rodriguez has made a notable improvement (55 assists to 27 turnovers) in the area after posting a 1.2 ratio (101 assists to 85 turnovers) as a freshman. Irving has also doubled his ratio (2.4 from 1.5) with 29 assists to 12 turnovers, while Southwell has a solid 1.7 ratio (29 assists to 17 turnovers) after posting a 1.6 ratio last season.
McGruder Named Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week for Third Time
Senior Rodney McGruder earned Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week honors for the third time in five weeks on Monday after helping K-State to wins over South Dakota and No. 22/21 Oklahoma State. He was also named the ESPN.com National Player of the Week for his efforts. The three Big 12 Player of the Week awards tie Michael Beasley (2007-08) for the most by a Wildcat in a single-season, while McGruder's four overall weekly awards are the most-ever by a K-State player in the Big 12 era. He won the first time as a junior on Dec. 26, 2011 then again on Dec. 10 and 24 of this year. He averaged a team-best 21.5 points on 48.6 percent shooting (17-of-35), including 50 percent (8-of-16) from 3-point range, with 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals in 36.5 minutes per game in the two wins. He opened the week with a near double-double in the win over South Dakota with 15 points and a team-high nine rebounds. He scored a game-high 28 points, including 26 in the second half, in the win over OSU on 11-of-19 field goals, including 5-of-9 from 3-point range, in 37 minutes. It was his 16th career 20-point game, including the third this season. The Wildcats are 14-2 in games where McGruder has 20 or more points. McGruder's 26 second-half points are the most by a Wildcat since Denis Clemente had 32 in a win at Texas on Jan. 31, 2009. He went 10-of-13 from the field in the second half, including 5-of-5 from beyond the arc. He had more field goals (10) than the Cowboys (nine) in the half.
McGruder Among Elite Company

He could become just the seventh Wildcat with 3,000 career minutes vs. West Virginia. One of eight players to rank in the Big 12's Top 20 in both scoring (6th) and rebounding (18th), McGruder leads the Wildcats in scoring, field goals (82), double-digit scoring games (10) and steals (18). He ranks in the Top 20 in four Big 12 categories.
Williams Emerging As An Impact
After playing in just 15 games his first season (including a medical redshirt in 2010-11), sophomore Nino Williams is starting to emerge as an impact player for K-State. He has played in 13 of 14 games with the third-most starts (11), averaging 7.1 points on 46.4 percent shooting with 5.5 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game.

He opened the week with a career-best 16 points vs. South Dakota on 7-of-10 field goals before eclipsing that mark with 17 points off the bench in the win over OSU on 7-of-11 field goals. If you include the Kansas City game on Dec. 29, he is averaging 13.7 points on 51.5 percent shooting with 8.3 rebounds in the last three games in 25.7 minutes per game.
Rodriguez's Improved Play
Despite missing the last two non-conference games, sophomore Angel Rodriguez has continued his improvement from his freshman season in 2012-13, as he ranks first or second on the squad in six categories, including first in assists (55) and second in scoring (9.5 ppg.), double-figure scoring games (7) and 3-point field goals (17).

He was named to the NIT Season Tip-Off All-Tournament Team after averaging 11 points and 5.5 assists in two games in New York in helping the Wildcats to a second-place finish.
Spradling Coming Up Clutch
Junior Will Spradling has been a model of consistency from the free throw line, knocking down 33-of-38 opportunities, including going 10-of-10 in the last 35 seconds in wins over Delaware, George Washington and Texas Southern. His effort has raised his career free throw percentage to 83.2 (158-of-190), which is the second-highest in school history behind Steve Henson (90.0; 361-of-401; 1986-90).

After a poor game against No. 14/14 Gonzaga on Dec. 15, he rebounded to collect arguably his best all-around game of the season vs. Texas Southern on Dec. 18 with a season-high 14 points on 5-of-7 field goals to go with 12 rebounds and career-bests in blocks (4) and steals (3) in 26 minutes. It marked his fourth career double-double, but the first of the season. The 12-rebound effort tied his season-high that he also had against George Washington on Dec. 8.

1597, from L. Tantalus, from Gk. Tantalos, king of Phrygia, son of Zeus, punished in the afterlife (for an offense variously given) by being made to stand in a river up to his chin, under branches laden with fruit, all of which withdrew from his reach whenever he tried to eat or drink. His name perhaps means lit. "the Bearer" or "the Sufferer," by dissimilation from *tal-talos, a reduplication of PIE base *tel-, *tol- "to bear, carry, support" (see extol). His story was known to Chaucer (c.1369).
I've always had an affinity for this word. I think perhaps the adjective form (tanalizing) may be more commonly heard, but nonetheless, I like the verb form as well.
The restaurant tantalized the patrons with the dessert table by forcing them to walk past it first when they entered the building.

24 July 2012
No surprises here. The trade for Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez from the Miami Marlins meant that the Tigers' active roster would sit at 26 players (only Jacob Turner was on the major league roster going the other way), so a move had to be made before tonight's game.
Likely candidates to get shoved off the roster included Danny Worth, Ryan Raburn, and Don Kelly, but of the group, only Worth could be cleanly sent down to the minor leagues. Ryan Raburn recently earned veteran player status (five years of MLB service time), so even though this year counts as his final option year, he would have to agree to the demotion for it to be allowed. Don Kelly is out of minor league options, so he would have to be designated for assignment to be removed from the roster.
None of those moves would be bad (none of the three players are hitting well on the year), but Worth becomes the most redundant after yesterday's trade.
The Tigers will need to make another roster move once Andy Dirks completes his rehab assignment (he's currently playing in AAA Toledo). Either Raburn or Kelly will likely be gone then.
The club also announced that Al Alburquerque will begin his rehab assignment today in Lakeland. He could potentially be a key addition to the bullpen later in the season.

Senior Moment or Seizure Moment?
A lot of "senior moments" may in fact be seizures. About 50,000 new cases of epilepsy occur in people aged 60 and above each year, and a significant number of additional cases are undiagnosed. This program teaches caregivers how to recognize seizures, treatment considerations for the elderly, and first aid. Resources and support are provided for caregivers.
Training for Adult Day Care Centers
The demographic shifts suggest that adult day program staff should anticipate a spike in participants with epilepsy. This training program is designed to help staff and administrators of Adult Day Center programs to understand the needs of seniors with or at risk for developing epilepsy. The training provides basic, straightforward information about epilepsy, useful to health professionals involved in caring for Seniors in Adult Day Center programs. This training will help staff anticipate the unique needs and concerns of seniors and their caregivers.

SnowBoard Slopestyle is a type of winter sporting event where the goal is to perform the most difficult tricks while getting the highest amplitude off of jumps, with an emphasis on performing different types of tricks instead of doing one great trick repeatedly. It originated as a snowboarding competition format, but there are now many sports that are considered to have this style of competition, of which skiing and snowboarding are two of the most common.
Slopestyle is one of the most popular events at the Winter X Games. It became an Olympic event, in both skiing and snowboarding forms, at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Getting Hanover (And Other Regions) on the Path: Determining the Sufficiency of Regional Emissions Reduction Plans
Chris Soderquist, Pontifex Consulting
Friday, May 11, 2012, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series.
In 2011, the Sustainable Hanover Committee (SHC), in partnership with Donella Meadows Institute (DMI), undertook a comprehensive analysis of local sources of emissions. This analysis now serves as the baseline for a simulation-based planning tool (in STELLA) the committee will use to guide emissions reduction efforts. In order to know if the amount of emissions improvements expected from local sustainability efforts is sufficient, DMI applied a context-based framework to compare future projections to an established global emissions trajectory (WRE350) required to stabilize global concentration of CO2 to 350 ppm by early in the next century. This approach is generalizable to other communities and regions (including at the state level). During this presentation, Chris Soderquist, a member of the SHC, will cover the origins of this project (including the objectives of the modeling effort) and the data research process. He will describe the context-based approach using the WRE350 emissions trajectory, including where such approaches have also been applied. After a brief demonstration of the tool, he will discuss how this approach can be applied to other regions. The session will conclude with audience-led Q&A.
About the Speaker
Chris Soderquist is a system dynamics practitioner and a long-time member of the Sustainable Hanover Committee. He worked for many years at the Hanover-based firm High Performance Systems (developer of the STELLA software) and now applies systems-based approaches to numerous public policy issues: childhood obesity, child maltreatment, corrections system reform, and national energy infrastructure transformation.

Fla. campaign targets signs of child abuse
Published: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 3:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 3:28 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Child welfare officials are launching a public awareness campaign called "Don't Miss the Signs" to remind Floridians about their obligation to report suspected child abuse.
The message will soon be seen on television ads and posters, urging residents to raise their voices to stop child abuse.
A sweeping child abuse reporting law took effect in October, making it clear that reporting suspected child abuse is everyone's responsibility, not just designated "professional reporters" such as medical professionals and teachers.
Lawmakers funded a comprehensive effort to raise awareness, encourage reporting and promote prevention. DCF developed the new "Don't Miss the Signs" campaign in partnership with Lauren's Kids foundation, which seeks to end childhood sexual abuse.
The agency is encouraging residents to sign an online petition on the website DontMissTheSigns.org.

Winning cookie recipe handed down through generations
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 6:25 p.m.
When Ruth Mansell used to visit her mother-in-law in Roswell, Ga., she was often greeted with a batch of freshly baked tea cake cookies.
Cookies galore
Explore the Star-Banner/Gainesville Sun Holiday Cookie Database.
Cookie-baking tips
For best results, follow these tips when baking cookies, courtesy of the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen Cookbook.
Butter vs. margarine: While butter and margarine are interchangeable in some cookie recipes, for the best flavor and texture, use butter. If you perfer margarine, make sure it contains 80 percent fat. Spreads (low-fat, whipped, liquid, or soft) have a high water content, which produces tough cookies that lack flavor.
Don't overmix: For the tenderest cookies, once the flour has been added, mix the dough just until blended.
Spooning it: Use a measuring spoon to scoop up equal portions of dough to make consistently shaped cookies that will bake in the same amount of time. For drop cookies, place spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart, unless otherwise directed, to allow room for the cookies to spread during baking.
Rolling it: When rolling out chilled cookie dough, roll out one portion at a time; keep the remaining dough covered in the refrigerator. If chilled dough cracks when rolled, let it stand at room temperature to soften slightly, then try again. Be sure to dust the work surface lightly and evenly with flower before getting started with rolling. To keep the rolling pin from sticking, rub it well with flour or lightly dust the top of the dough.
It's a recipe that has been passed on to family for years, and Mansell said she knows it stands the test of time.
"It's a little like potato chips," Mansell said. "Once you try one, you tend to want to have another." And then another, she said.
Mansell's batch of Grandma's Tea Cakes was the winning entry in The Gainesville Sun's annual Cookie Contest this year. It was one of 21 cookie recipes, ranging from Sweet Potato Cookies and Orange Puffs to Mint Meringues and Date-Nut Chewies, that were submitted. The contest was open to amateur bakers of all ages.
Entries were judged based on appearance, taste and originality, using a scale of one to 10 for each category. Scores were tabulated to determine one winner and four runners-up.
Mansell, an interior decorator who has lived in Gainesville for 44 years, said the best part about her family's cookies is the simplicity of the recipe. She said she likes how crisp they are and how few ingredients it requires to bake them. A self-described occasional baker, Mansell bakes two or three times a year and said she enjoys trying out new recipes from magazines.
"It finally hit me one day that I needed the recipe, and I was surprised at how simple it was," Mansell said. The recipe includes flour, butter, sugar, pecans and a choice of almond or vanilla flavoring.
The four runners-up, in no particular order, were Pecan Praline Cookies by Leah Pate, Cranberry Almond and Chocolate Biscotti by Sarah Smith, Cinnamon-Chipper Snickerdoodles by Michelle Weidner and Apple Cinnamon Cookies With Cinnamon Glaze by Aaliyah Harris.
Last year's winning cookie was the Coconut Caramel Cookie baked by Darrin Gillins, 16, a junior at Eastside High School's Institute of Culinary Arts. Gillins, who returned as a judge for this year's contest, said he keeps an eye out for unique flavors, shapes and designs. After sampling the 21 entries last week, Gillins was confronting the difficult task of choosing just one favorite.
"I'm trying to narrow down my last two, but I just can't," he said, pondering the ballot sheet in his hand.
Cookies have been around for hundreds of years. The first cookies originated as an accident when cooks placed a small amount of cake batter in the oven to test the temperature before baking a full-sized cake, according to The Kitchen Project, a food-history website.
The name cookie is derived from the Dutch word "koekje," meaning "small or little cake." Each country has its own word for cookie. In England and Australia, cookies are called biscuits; in Spain they're "galletas." Germans call them "keks" or "Plätzchen" for Christmas cookies; and in Italy, there are several names to identify various forms of cookies, including amaretti and biscotti.
Cookie baking is a tradition in many American households, often becoming the first cooking lesson for children. And cookie eating is popular no matter a person's age, which is why it's not hard to find people willing to serve as cookie judges.
In addition to Gillins, the contest's five other judges included Stefanie Samara Hamblen, owner of the Hogtown HomeGrown newsletter and The Illegal Jam Company; Val Leitner, president of Blue Oven Kitchens; Rob Witzel, Sun photo editor; Casey Moore, Sun calendar editor and a writer for Gainesville Magazine; and Doug Ray, The Sun's executive editor.
Each judge had his or her own strategy. Leitner said she scanned each entry first to see which cookies stood out in appearance before making a second round to taste test each cookie. Sometimes the result was unexpected.
"The flavor is good, and then it hits you with salt," she said, as she bit into one cookie. "That's a shame. Whatever they did ruined the flavor."
Hamblen said that while taste is a priority for her, appearance also is crucial for a holiday cookie.
"I taste tiny bites at first and then go back for seconds if they're good," she said. "Otherwise you'll go into sugar overload."
Hamblen said she tends to be drawn to more creative recipes.
"I'm looking for a balance of flavors," she said as she reviewed her list of cookies. "I'm also looking to avoid an aftertaste."
A common mistake is to use too much baking soda or salt, Hamblen said.
While other judges sought out originality, Leitner said she was impressed by some of the more basic creations to which bakers gave their own twist.
Some of the entries that took creative license included recipes for Black Walnut Oatmeal Cookies and Chocolate Chunk Cookie Brittle.
"There are quite a few [recipes] that are pretty traditional that people have done well," Leitner said.
Winning recipe a family treasure
My mother-in-law, Lillian, used to treat us to Grandma's Tea Cakes when our family went to visit in Roswell, Ga., where my husband, Bob, was raised. All of us loved them, especially me. The recipe came from Lillian's mother-in-law, Maude. Both of these women lived into their 90s. Fortunately, I realized I needed to get the recipe for my files so the recipe would not be lost to our family. I'm so glad I did, and they are "the best" with coffee and tea. I can't believe they are so simple and you always have the ingredients.
-— Mrs. Ruth Mansell, Gainesville
Grandma's Tea Cakes
Cream 1 cup butter and 1 cup sugar
Add 1 teaspoon soda and 1 teaspoon almond flavoring or vanilla
Mix well.
Add 2 to 2½ cups flour, stirring in slowly until it is the consistency to roll. Start with 2 cups and add what is needed.
Roll out between waxed paper or plastic wrap to about 1/8- to ¼-inch thick. I prefer them crisp, so try to roll thin. Sprinkle chopped pecans over rolled dough, and use rolling pin to roll them into the dough before cutting.
Simple shapes of cookie cutters can be used, or just crisscross with a knife leaving you with many shapes and sizes.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. The cookies will appear lightly brown around the edges. For the first batch, watch carefully because variation in ovens and heaviness of the cookie sheet will determine length of time. Enjoy!
Paula Dean recipe tweaked
I saw this recipe on a Paula Deen Christmas cookie show several years ago, which was submitted by a viewer from Alabama whose grandmother made these cookies every Christmas.
I tweaked the recipe by adding extra pecans and cinnamon to the praline pecans, and using Madagascar vanilla extract, as it has a richer vanilla flavor.
I have made these each Christmas since then, as my son and I especially like white chocolate and praline. The cookies always get rave reviews from family and friends.
— Leah Pate, Gainesville
Pecan Praline Cookies
Praline pecans:
1/3 cup sugar
1½ cups toasted chopped pecans
2 tablespoons water
1/8 teaspoon (a pinch) of cinnamon
Toast the pecans for 10 minutes in a 300-degree oven. In a small heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stir the water, sugar and cinnamon constantly until boiling and the syrup is a light golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
Remove the sugar from the stove and stir in the pecans. Pour this out onto parchment paper and let cool. Break apart the praline pecans when cool to use in the cookies.
1 cup butter at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated white sugar
2 eggs
1½ teaspoons Madagascar vanilla extract
2½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
5 ounces white chocolate, melted
Praline pecans (recipe, above)
¼ cup toasted chopped pecans
Cream together the butter and sugars till fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each. Add vanilla. Stir in flour and baking soda, and mix well. Fold in the praline pecans.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees, or until the edges are slightly browned.
When the cookies have cooled, melt the white chocolate, and drizzle over the tops, then sprinkle with the toasted pecans. Allow the chocolate to dry before storing.
Cookie memories
With Christmas being my favorite time of the year, we always make it memorable.
Every holiday season, I remember being in the kitchen with my dad making fresh biscotti. Everyone in my family would join together munching on these crispy cookies. The smell of cookies baking brings holiday cheer to the household. I would always get the ends that were cut off fresh out of the oven.
Dipping the cookies in chocolate has always my favorite part, even though it is the messiest. Then we would enjoy them with fresh, homemade hot chocolate (and coffee for my mom!).
— Sarah Smith, Gainesville
Cranberry Almond and Chocolate Biscotti
1 stick butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, plus 1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
Zest of 1 lemon
½ cup whole blanched almonds, toasted
¾ cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, for the tops
2 cups dark chocolate, for dipping
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar, then beat together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl every once in awhile.
Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the vanilla.
Gently mix in the flour, baking powder, salt and lemon zest. Once the dry ingredients are incorporated, fold in the almonds and dried cranberries.
Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a log. If the dough is sticky, dust with a little flour. Roll the logs to the length of a sheet pan.
Beat the egg white with a splash of water. Brush the logs with the egg white, and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Transfer to a sheet pan and place at least 3 inches apart. Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven, and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove logs to a cutting board, and slice on the bias about ¾-inch thick. Lay the biscotti back on the sheet pan, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes. This will harden the biscotti. Cool completely on a rack.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler till smooth. Dip cooled cookies in chocolate to coat.
Enjoy with a cup of coffee or just by themselves!
A holiday favorite
I got this recipe out of Better Homes & Garden Christmas Cookie Magazine 2011. The first time I made these cookies, I fell in love. They will be added to the list of cookies I make every year from now on. Definitely not your ordinary snickerdoodle — much, much better. Hope you enjoy them as much as my family and friends do.
— Michelle Weidner, Micanopy
Cinnamon-Chipper Snickerdoodles
2½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup cinnamon-flavored baking pieces
1 cup white baking pieces
½ cup coarsely crushed graham crackers (5 squares) or chopped hazelnuts (filberts)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In medium bowl combine flour, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, baking soda, salt and baking powder.
In a large bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1 cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar. Beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour mixure as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour mixure, the cinnamon pieces, white baking pieces and graham crackers.
In a small bowl combine the ¼ cup sugar and the 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls into sugar mixture to coat. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until bottoms are light brown. Transfer cookies to wire rack; cool completely.
Makes about 60 cookies.
Combining two favorites
Growing up, we all have a sweet tooth that we can't get rid of. In my family, every year around the holiday season, we get to together and make delectables such as pies, cakes and cookies.
This year, when I heard about the cookie competition, I knew that I wanted to not only compete, but win. My grandma always told me if I found two things I loved to put them together, which is why for the competition, I entered Apple Cinnamon Cookies With Cinnamon Glaze. This cookie came from Washington, D.C., and with elections ending, I believe this seasonal cookie is a great way to start the holidays off right.
— Aaliyah Harris, Gainesville
Apple Cinnamon Cookies with Cinnamon Glaze
For the cookies:
½ cups butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon baking soda
2-3 apples, chopped
Finely chopped pecans, optional
For the glaze:
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1-2 tablespoons water
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light in color. Add egg and sour cream; stir to combine. Add remaining ingredients, except apple, and stir until combined. Gently fold in the apples.
Drop the cookie mixture by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops are dry.
Make the glaze: Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Add water until the glaze reaches the desired consistency.

Ticinonline, popular internet news site published in Italian in Switzerland, announced the collapse of the theory of evolution conference that the representatives of Harun Yahya will hold in Milan, Italy on October 20th, 2010.
The statements against Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was on the messages on of Harun Yahya"s posters on billboards on Monday. According to him, the Earth was created through divine Creation. It is not possible not to see the posters against Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. The message is very clear: Darwin is not scientific. In short, the evolution of the species is a deceit and Darwinism is not science.
Yahya/Oktar believes that the Earth was created through Divine Creation and that life forms have not changed. You can read these on his web site: "Therefore, we can come to this conclusion: Everything we see with our eyes is created. However, none of the things we see with our eyes is the Creator." Then, the Creator is a Being Who is different than and superior to everything we see. He is a Superior Power Who is unseen but Who shows His Existence and Qualities in everything He creates. This is the point at which those who do not know Allah's Existence deviate. These people have conditioned themselves not to believe in His Existence for as long as they do not see Allah with their own eyes. However, "they become obliged to hide the truth of "Creation" openly seen throughout the universe and to claim that the universe and living beings are not created. To do this they conform to lies. The theory of evolution and the materialist philosophy are the two clear examples of the lies told about this and the inconclusive flutters."
Harun Yahya's official web site publishes works such as the Collapse of the Theory of Evolution and Dark Side of Darwinism in an open and clear way.

Clean Air
By Elizabeth Ginns Britten — June 2005
Clean air is essential for any engine, and Walker's latest Airsep, the High-Performance Closed Crankcase Evacuation (CCE), improves air intake by removing petroleum vapors that collect in the engine crankcase. By changing the vapor into liquid oil, the CCE helps prevent buildup on turbine blades and internal aftercooler passages, which should translate to longer engine life.
The heart of the CCE is its internal, two-stage replaceable coalescing filter design. According to Walker, its first stage liquefies larger oil vapor particles and drains them away; in the second stage, the primary filter captures remaining oil mist particles down to 0.3 micron in size. The CCE also features an integrated turbo silencer and removable, washable air filter.
The system, factory-installed on models from several manufacturers, can be retrofitted to existing engines.

I bought a duo and cover ~4 years ago and the cover is starting to fall apart.
When looking for a new cover all I can find is this http://www.chargriller.com/index.php?pa ... 1&Itemid=1
^ This cover is different than what I bought ~4 years ago from char griller. This one looks cheaply made and very thin.
Does anyone know where I might be able to find the cover that I bought back in the day? I've googled my heart out and haven't had any luck.
Thanks in advance!

HOUSTON - A driver plowed his car into a northeast Houston home Thursday, sparking a fire that destroyed a house, officials said.
Investigators said Cleveland Johnson, 46, lost control of his vehicle, drove through a row of bushes and slammed into a home on Crane Street at Kashmere shortly after 1 a.m. He also hit a gas line, which sparked an explosion and house fire.
Henry Butler was about to go to sleep when the crash and explosion occurred.
"I just heard an explosion and saw the fire. I thought something was on fire, so I grabbed a pitcher of water and the water was just blowing in. It just exploded. They couldn't even find the gas meter -- the gas company. It caused it to melt," Butler said.
"Once there was an explosion, the house ignited. We put the house out but we couldn't put the meter out until we had crews in place to put the gas out," said Mike Phillips with the Houston Fire Department.
Butler's 102-year-old aunt was asleep in the home.
"I got out of the bed, the handicapped bed, and picked her up and pulled her outside and my brother helped me take her to my sister's house," Butler said.
"I didn't get no scratches on me because my nephew carried me the best that he could," Audrey Demartra said.
Johnson ran from the scene and fled to his apartment next door, police said. He was later found hiding under his bed in his underwear, according to witnesses. Johnson suffered third-degree burns and was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital.
Investigators said they believe Johnson was intoxicated. A charge of failure to stop and give information, a misdemeanor, is pending.
Court records show Johnson was arrested and convicted in the '80s at least twice for driving while intoxicated.
The home was destroyed.
