Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
- Posted on
- 65 Comments
One of my favorite cookies of all time is my mom's Snickerdoodle cookie. The recipe actually comes from my Grandma Char and it is the softest and chewiest Snickerdoodle cookie I have ever had. With fall just around the corner, I was thinking about what those Snickerdoodle cookies would taste like if I added pumpkin to them . . .
Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
1 stick (1/2 cup) margarine
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
1 large egg
3 1/4 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix together the margarine, shortening, sugars, pumpkin, and egg, beat well. Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and mix until well-blended.
Chill dough for about 30 minutes (or cheat like me and throw it in the freezer for about 10 minutes). Roll into balls the size of small walnuts.
In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1 Tablespoon cinnamon and 1/2 tsp ground ginger (more or less depending on how you like it). Roll dough balls in sugar mixture until completely covered.
Place dough balls about 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 7-9 minutes until lightly browned, but still soft.
Makes about 4-5 dozen cookies.
this looks like a really yummy recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I made these today and they were bland in taste and not all like I expected. I suspect that the recipe calls for too much flour.
Sounds easy to make and fantastic! I can't wait to try it! I love anything pumpkin, especially in the fall.
These look awesome, Camille! I made a similar pumpkin snickerdoodle last week I have yet to post, but yours look SO yummy. Love soft + chewy snickerdoodles
Read this while drinking my pumpkin latte and eating my pumpkin pancakes and thought I have to make theses! I am on a pumpkin kick waiting for fall. Can't wait to try!

thanks for the recipe! one question what temperature did you bake them at
Oh my gosh- I am so sorry! Sometimes I just get typing and skip an important step! Anyway, they bake at 400 degrees F!
Theae look awesome!! I did notice there is no Cream of Tartar in this recipe! What makes the tops craggly looking?!
I have no idea! And you are right- no cream of tartar! They are delicious!
Yum! I am making these today! It is already fall here in Alaska, and I need some pumpkin baking in my house! Thanks for sharing!
These look so yummy! Trying to make them today, but you do not list what temperature to back them at?
Oh my gosh- I am so sorry! Sometimes I just get typing and skip an important step! Anyway, they bake at 400 degrees F!
This is a fantastic idea! LOVE them. Pinned, of course.
Just pinned also! I love all things pumpkin and plan to make this for a Halloween party we will be attending.
Yummy!!! I think I need to buy some pumpkin tomorrow and try these Pinned!
Can you use butter in place of the margarine? I have shortening on hand all the time, and butter, but never margarine. They look yummy!
I think that butter in place of the margarine would be just fine!
I was craving snickerdoodles over the weekend and then I just came across your recipe. These look so delicious and I love anything pumpkin! Thank you for sharing. (just pinned)
Kelly @ Our Everyday Harvest
Cannot wait to try these!!!

I found this recipe through Pintrest. I am planning to make these for house church at our house tomorrow night. Thank you for sharing. Also I thought I'd share a tip that my baking-genius mother-in-law shared with me. My cookies always went flat no matter what type or what recipe I used. When she suggested using margarine and NOT butter they where beautiful mounds of pure goodness! Maybe no one else has this problem, but it helped me and I realized there was a question about it in your comments so I thought I'd pass the tip along!
Just to throw this out there, I just made these with butter and they are perfectly fluffy little mounds. However, snickerdoodles I've made in the past have always come out super flat. I was thinking using half shortening may have made the difference.
I just finished baking a batch, they are so delicious! Somehow mine turned out a lot fluffier than the picture and did not crack on top. That is ok though, we love them anyways! They have just the right amount of pumpkin to give them that special fall flavor!
I can't wait to make these!
I featured your recipe on my ~A Little Extra Helping of Sunday Potluck~ post today. Feel free to grab my feature button if you feel so inclined.
What can I use in place of ginger? Pumpkin spice?
What can I use in place of ginger? Pumpkin spice?
You could definitely try pumpkin spice . . . it might taste a little different, but I think that it would still be good. There is usually a little bit of ginger in pumpkin spice, so if you are allergic to ginger, you might not want to use that.
Mine didn't flatten either-weird. I'm assuming the baking powder and soda have something to do with that? Any ideas?
So sorry- I have no idea why they wouldn't flatten? I don't know if it would have anything to do with altitude? I really have no idea! I am so sorry!
Same thing happened to me. Maybe it's the margarine? I didn't soften mine.. Could that have something to do with it? I am pushing them down with a spoon while they are still in the oven.
You could always try flattening the cookies a little bit before baking – rather than leaving them in balls. Hope that helped!
Slightly flatten cookie with bottom of drinking glass that has a flat bottom, before baking.
Two of my favorites together–yum! When I make Snickerdoodles, I roll them into balls, (I use part butter & part shortening),and then butter the bottom of a glass and dip it in sugar. Then I press the cookie balls gently. They always turn out crinkled and round, yet not balls, cookie-shaped.
If your baking powder, soda & salt are old, they will be flat. If you use too much butter/shortening, they will be spread out, but flat. Too much flour, baking powder, soda & salt will make Snickerdoodles taste more like a cornbread. Measure carefully. Hope that helps.
These were so tasty. Mine didn't flatten either, but they were little pillows of pumpkin goodness, so I actually liked them better that way. I also added more cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg to the batter. My co workers (and husband) loved them.
I'm sooo glad that fall is finally here. People always look at me like I'm crazy when I whip out a can of pumpkin puree mid spring. Speaking of pumpkin, these look absolutely to DIE for! I can't wait to try these babies out! I'm following you through Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and GFC. I would love it if you would stop by a join our Saturday Social blog hop at Whimsically Homemade! Hope to see you there!
We have a debate going on….does a true snickerdoodle always have cream of tartar in the ingredients? Otherwise without it, the cookie is just a sugar cookie with cinnamon etc.?? We have seen many snickerdoodle recipes lately that do not call for cream of tartar. What exactly does the cream of tartar add to the cookie? Thanks!!

To be honest, I am not sure! I have heard that Cream of Tartar makes the "cracks" on the top of the snickerdoodle cookie, but I honestly don't know if that is true or not! My mom's snickerdoodles don't have cream of tartar and they seriously are my favorite snickerdoodles that I have ever tried. Sorry that I am not much help with the debate! I think that if the cookie tastes good, everybody wins.
Wikipedia, mediator-extrodinarie for any online debate, says that snickerdoodles do not have to contain cream of tartar. I've always used cream of tartar in my snickerdoodles, but it's just for leavening, suppose. This recipe looks delicious! I'm definitely going to try it!
My batch is chilling right now! I was actually just thinking the other day how it would go to add pumpkin into snickerdoodles. But I wasn't going to brave it tonight..I was just about to try out your pumpkin dump cake, when I saw this as one of your related links. Can't wait to see how they taste! I love soft snickerdoodles!
I made these yesterday – and added chocolate chips, they are super delicious! Thanks for the recipe!!
Wow made these tonight they came out awesome thanks for a great recipe!!
YUMMO! I can't wait to try these!
~ Jillian
Thanks for sharing! Mine turned out yummy. We frosted half the batch of cookies with a cream cheese maple frosting and the other half instead of frosting, we mixed in some white chocolate chips.

I made these yesterday and they were SO good. I added a little allspice and ginger to the dough and used butter, sans margarin.
A tip for those getting puffy cookies that don't flatten: Use a cup to smash them flat before baking. Pumpkin is a very fluffy veggie. It'll bounce back up a bit and give you a very moist, tender cookie… They'll just be a bit flatter.
eating these now. My family loves them! Thank you for sharing.
Since you can make your own baking powder using Cream of tartar and baking soda (and cornstarch if you are storing your supply), it seems reasonable to me to conclude that cream of tartar is being using for leavening…Found how to make your own baking powder from a book called Kitchen Science.
Just made these tonight – I only baked up a dozen, the rest of the dough is in the fridge. I don't like to use margarine so I subbed butter, and I thought I would try using pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon in the dough. They came out super fluffy, moist, and soft -however they seem just a little bland. I'm blaming it on my tweaking the spices (I can't just leave a recipe alone!) and I think I'm going to stir in some extra cinnamon before I bake the rest of them. But seriously – these have the PERFECT texture. I've made snickerdoodles before and they always come out flat as pancakes so it was nice to find some that stay quite puffy : ) Thanks for the recipe!
WAAAYYY too much flour.
These came out really good. I skipped the shortening and did two sticks plus two tablespoons of butter. I added 1/4 teaspoon of cloves and a 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg to give them a little extra flavor.
Mmm. These sound really good. I recently made some classic snickerdoodle cookies, thick, soft, and chewy. Not the puffy, cakey version. No thank you! But I definitely want to give this version a try – and I can finally use up my leftover pumpkin!
With 3 teaspoons of rising agent in this recipe, the cookies ended up fluffy mounds. I had to press mine down a lot before baking to get them to look like cookies when they were finished.
I just wanted to chime in here – these cookies were disappointing. I think they may need more pumpkin or something or more spices. They were bland! I loved the texture. Mine didn't spread either like others have mentioned but that didn't bother me. I was really disappointed especially since everything else I've made from your blog has been AWESOME. I think this recipe needs another go – maybe some testing, tweaking, and relaunching. They have a lot of potential though.
I made these today and they turned out great! They are moist and fluffy. Are these fine to leave out at room temperature or do you refrigerate them?
Just made these and they were delicious! Mine did flatten out. I used all butter (not margarine or shortening). I also added a little cream of tartar just because I like it. My husband has already asked me to make them again. Thanks!
I didn't see my comment published, so this might be a dupe.

I made these as the recipe called out. On my first pan I put on the cookies like balls, as snickerdoodles typically spread and flatten. So for all other pans, I made the cookies larger and flattened them with a fork. They came out great! Flavor and texture are to my liking. I give the recipe a thumbs up. I may take on some of the suggestions as I think others have good ideas too.
I made these for Thanksgiving last year, and they turned out fabulous! This year, my family asked if I would make them again–definitely going to be a holiday tradition!
Camille, thank you so much for the delicious recipe!
After having tasted some superb, moist homemade pumpkin snickerdoodles from a farm, I was eager to try this recipe. Reading some of the comments I decided to use less flour. I don't see how I could have used the full amount it called for without being a pasty mass. I was quite dissatisfied:( I agree with some of the posters, they had a nice texture but really bland flavor, I would say less flour and baking powder /soda more pumpkin puree!
I had the exact same problem with too much flour. I've made them twice now, and the first batch (where I followed the recipe exactly) came out tasting like cooked balls of flour. In the second batch, I switched the flour to only 2 ¾ cups, added a full cup of Pumpkin, plus 1 tsp Cream of Tartar, and 1 tsp Pumpkin Spice (to amp up the pumpkin flavor). They turned out SO much better! I'm not sure if the 3 ¼ cup flour was a typo in the recipe or what. As I added all the flour during the original batch, I kept thinking…no, these cannot possibly take this much flour! Should've listened to my baking instinct on that one.
They're delicious with the above changes – a big hit with co-workers and friends. I'll definitely be making them again. Oh and also, I forgot to use a glass to squish down the first batch – and for some reason they tasted even more floury when I didn't flatten them. So flattening them with the glass is a must.
I loved these! I used a little more pumpkin, a little less flour, more cinnamon and some clear Mexican vanilla. I'll be sharing a link to your recipe on my blog with my notes! Thanks for another amazing recipe. http://learningasIsew.blogspot.com

I used to go to the Habit in Woodland Hills and did not think they were anything special. It was OK. They do have a grilled ahi sandwhich though. Again nothing to write home about and I'd say In and out is still better.

This is pretty blunt and forward about something I do. I'm trying to figure out if I care about posting it or not.
I don't.
I used to to whip-it's a lot. (Nitrous Oxide) They're pretty cool. I became friends with people who did them. It was a cool summer. I basically grew out of doing them, and grew apart from those friends.
The sensation is pretty mild. You may experience a tingling tickle from head to toe, otherwise you just feel a euphoric, relaxing feeling. It only last for about 30 seconds to a minute. I wouldn't describe it as a high, but more a passing feeling. Since the sensation is so short and quite pleasant, people can become addicted to the momentary euphoria that it brings.
It's not that sick. I think you're a dumbass, if you really get addicted. I'm kinda rude and bitchy, towards anything that people get addicted to.
I have no understanding whatsoever for addiction, but that can be a whole other post.
Anyway, Friday night, I experienced the most fantastic whip-it of my life. OH, I've unfortunately found a new friend circle, whom enjoy nitrous. Unfortunate, I know. I still REALLY limit the amount I do, and cannot fathom the idea of actually buying a box…but eh.
OKAY. Anyway, anyway. I completely thought I was in Mario Kart! It was fucking fantastic. I sprinted forward, thinking I was in the game! The whip-it's I've done have always been in the comfort of a living room couch, so the rave nitrous experience is a whole new one world. I'm pretty down, but very over it. It can be a mild hallucinogen, and you need to be smack ass wasted for that to happen. It was fun.
I knocked myself over, and now I have a bruise on my hip.

On October 11, 2012, alumni connected in cities worldwide
More than 600 alumni gathered in 22 cities around the world for Macalester's third annual evening of coordinated alumni events last Thursday, October 11. The evening, called MAC in the City, provides a space for alumni living in the same neighborhoods to connect, reflect on their shared Macalester experiences, and exchange resources relevant to their area.
The event organizer, Daymond Dean '91, says MAC in the City 2012 was a big success, "Everyone had a great time and made lots of connections with alumni in their area."
This year marked tremendous growth for the event, with both the number of cities and the number of participants doubling, from 330 alumni gathered in 11 cities in 2011 to 600 alumni gathered in 22 cities in 2012. For the first time, photos were shared instantaneously among locations via Google+.
Alumni are invited to help make next year's MAC in the City an even greater success. Contact Daymond at email@example.com to find out how you can help in 2013.

Petition To Add Star Wars: Clone Wars To NetflixFeb 14, 2014 News 7 comments
Seeing that Star Wars: The Clone Wars is getting added to Netflix, it seems a bit unfair that it's predecessor doesn't. So I've decided to change that...
We are a group of people who like the CIS. I particulary like the cis because of the very catchy name and the fact that they use robots to fight insted of real people. If you like the cis too join this group and post a comment telling why. If you like the republic see you on the battlefield.
Seeing that Star Wars: The Clone Wars is getting added to Netflix, it seems a bit unfair that it's predecessor doesn't. So I've decided to change that...
Who is your favorite CIS character? You have the ability to decide!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's my opinion of the Clone wars in a news article because it is going to be longer than a standard comment (please do not delete)
I need scenario ideas and suggestions for my next CIS 3D scene.
Hello people. This is a hiring call for the mod for Empire at War Forces of Corruption: Rise of the Libertation
I fight for a democracy not a potically and freedom restricting dictatorship.
(This comment is gonna get so flamed! lol...)
BTW the republic has 184 members and you only have 182...
Still no flaming...
I am shocked with the CIS's lack of enthusiam for war...
you sir underestimate our power. Republic scum your so called democracy turned out to be the galaxy's worst and most brutal dictatorship ever so that's a bunch of crap.
Darth krayt's sith empire and the CIS are two of my most favorite factions I wonder what it would have been like if the CIS survived or won the clone wars and was combined with krayt's sith empire. Now that would be killer.:D
Separatists 'cause it has the word separate in it because they broke off from the Republic (Clone Wars Era)
Confederacy. As it shows the type of goverment it is and the name of the faction at the same time.
cause it apears in the childish tx show xD
no. separatist is what the reps call em because there separating from the republic. for real they the Confederacy of Independant Systems. they dont call themselfs separatists cause they see themselfs as ''good'' guys.
they call the republic: Jackboots if i remember well.
starwars the clone wars isn't childish... well I might agree on you about the season 1 and 2 but 3 & 4 aren't childish like the battle on umbara( darkness on umbara) wasn't childish it was like the one of the most action-filled episodes in the entire series more than the 2nd battle of geonosis and arc troopers.

The post, Bicycling Beats the Odds - National Rates Hold states, "Despite predictions that the number of Americans biking to work would fall after gas prices returned to "normal" in 2009, the percentage has held steady, according to the American Communities Survey. " Additionally, a Rodale Press survey found that Americans want to have the opportunity to bike to work instead of driving, with 40 percent of those surveyed saying they would commute by bike if safe facilities were available.
As explained in our eco friendly consulting, bike commuting to work is a valued component of a personal sustainability program. In a recent post, Top 10 Benefits of Bicycle Commuting Programs for Businesses, we explored the benefits to employers offering a bike commuting program. But what's in it for the employee?
Bike commuting improves your health:
• Staying in better shape will decrease your chances of getting sick.
• National health statistics show that when you're more active, you decrease your risk for cancer, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
• Bicycle commuting allows you to include your workout in your daily schedule and helps to meet fitness goals.
Bike commuting improves your mood:
• More energy available throughout the day.
• Improved health and happiness.
• Regular participation in a cycling routine naturally shifts your focus to include thoughts of the weather, areas in your community to ride, road safety, and traffic. Thereby increasing your awareness of the link between the environment and your community.
Bike commuting saves you money:
• Reduce car maintenance.
• Reduce your gas bill.
• Reduce parking costs.
Bike commuting helps the environment by reducing your carbon footprint.
Are you ready to get started and bike to work? As mentioned in our eco friendly training, following are resources to help you get started. Whether you are cycling to work to reduce carbon emissions or cycling to promote a sustainable lifestyle, there's something here for you.
• Green Resources for Bike to Work Week: offers green gear suggestions and information on sustainable organizations that promote cycling for fun, fitness and transportation, and advocacy for a more bicycle-friendly America.
• Cycling Inspirations for a Sustainable Lifestyle: a look at organizations expanding eco awareness via cycling and contributing to an environmentally sustainable world.
• Live Green! Ride a Bike! Explores the benefits of riding a bike in green living.

You've heard this before: There were four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it. Nobody did it. Somebody got angry because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought that Somebody would do it. But Nobody asked Anybody.
It ended up that the trade show job was not done, and Everybody blamed Somebody, when actually, Nobody asked Anybody.
Question is… What is the trade show job? The job that Anybody can do, and Everybody thinks Somebody will do, but winds up being that Nobody does is the lead follow-up activity that is essential after the event is over.
The Center for Exhibition Industry Research (ceir.org) says up to 80% of leads gathered at a show are not followed up. Bottom line, that translates into wasting 80% of your money.
Here are tips for recouping your investment and improving your bottom line:
What's Your Purpose at the Show?
If it's your trade show job to gather leads, then that should be the main focus before, during and after the show. What if it's something else, like meeting with clients or recruiting employees? That doesn't absolve you of following up with leads. You still have to do it as part of your trade show job.
What's a Lead?
Define before the show what you consider a lead. Is it a company that will purchase within a certain time period? Has a certain budget? Is looking for a particular product you sell?
You can separate the contacts into levels -- A, B, C or hot, medium, cool -- and work them that way. But they still have to be contacted as part of your trade show job.
Who's Responsible?
Develop a schedule for following up with your trade show leads. The first contact should come within 10 days of the end of the event. Otherwise people forget who you are. The trail becomes cool, then cold.
Determine names and responsibilities at each step of the follow-up process. Trade showo job accountability is important. Make each person aware of what is expected of ss part of his or her trade show job, and who else is in the process. This is critical when the person staffing the booth is not the person who does the actual follow-up call.
The farther and longer the process from the show site and date, the more chances there are to lose the lead.
What's a Follow-up?
At minimum, follow-up with a thank you note to every contact you made. These people invested time and money to come to the show, time and effort to stop by your booth. The simple courtesy of a thank you goes a long way in today's fast paced and impersonal world.
If you listened properly and were able to gather specific information, you can provide a quote, supply answers and have a real reason for the follow-up call.
What Should You Send?
Unless requested, do not send the $20, 20-pound corporate package of literature that tells absolutely everything about your company. Do not send an obvious form letter ("Thank you for visiting us at the ABC Expo in Booth 6543 six months ago..."). Do Send…
your business card -- people will remember a logo and spelling of names and companies
information about your company -- a generic piece is fine
the specific answer to the question – "My company can help your company ____ (crunch numbers faster, ship with less hassle, increase accuracy in testing, etc.)"
any samples, price lists or references that will help speed the sales cycle.
Remember, the trade show job that Anybody can do, and Everybody thinks Somebody will do, but Nobody does -- well, that changes when all understand the importance of trade show follow-up.

Remember the comment from Corey McEntyre that he had a 3 week window of opportunity to look for a good hike? Well, he picked today. All the forecast data he could find said today was The Day to do Madison. So, he was off this morning (with my camera and car). Hmmm, he has driven my extra Maine car more than I have this past year.
I will get a call later today when he is down. He will then be heading to VT for a few days - without a computer or way of uploading the pictures. So, we will not see pictures for a while. It looks like he picked a good one.
Here is the North camera image for this morning.

Great color but stains after wash

Be careful of wearing light clothing after washing your hair. Henna comes off bit by bit even after days and still stains clothing. Was great the first few days though.

Easy to apply, smelled fine, no irritation, easier than dye or henna to wash out. Dark brown covered gray reasonably well with a medium to light brown color, and friends noted that my hair was very silky and shiny. As noted in the product flyer, however, it does wash out, so my grays are noticeable after 4-5 washes, and the color continues to show up in the shower and on towels, so this is not the best option for those who swim regularly, etc. I plan to use it again in the winter (with a black hair towel), but will use henna or another product on my gray in the summer months.

I purchased this hair coloring cream specifically because it doesn't contain chemicals. I've tried many different hair coloring products and have always received serious skin reactions. With the Surya Henna, Brasil Cream I had no reaction to it. However, after over an hour following application I got little color change. Because it did not burn me I will apply it again and hopefully it will darken my white hair.
two weeks only

The color can only keep for around two weeks.
great conditioner and that's all

i had great expectations of this product after reading all the reviews. however, after leaving it on for an hour, the greys did not cover too great (as it claimed it would). Despite this disappointment, I will be ordering again because it works fabulously as a conditioner. My hair is so soft and shiny and its never looked better. It is also a shame that it is impossible to contact the manufacturers of this product - as i had some questions which i wanted a response to.

always go as planned. We've learnt the importance of
having a close relationship with our suppliers, double-checking
and knowing every detail before execution.
Less assumptions, more enjoy!
South Africa is a country of great beauty, but also of great poverty in many communities. A Reaching Hand is one of the organisations that we support to help create better circumstances for those in need, because everyone deserves love, dignity and recognition.
A drop of rain is insignificant but together we can make a river!

Spike Lee is the latest multi-millionaire to go panhandling on Kickstarter. Some context, courtesy of the New York Post:
Lee is worth some $40 million, so the easiest way for him to raise $1.25 million would be to spend one-thirtieth of what he's got in the bank. In 1998, he bought, for $7.2 million, a monster double townhouse on the Upper East Side that he got from artist Jasper Johns: It's a 9,000-square-foot, 32-foot-wide, quasi-Italian villa with a fountain. It's the kind of thing Marie Antoinette would have thought was bad for her brand.
Now I'm not inherently against the wealthy begging for your cash. It seems like an American thing to do. The only thing that truly irritates me is that statistic above: 0 backed. Spike Lee isn't part of the filmmaking community. He's not backing any independent features outside of his circle of friends. He's in it for himself.

Access Today: June/July 2011
From Tape Measure to Transition Plan: NCA Trains Intermountain Region on Accessibility Assessment Process for National Parks
National Center on Accessibility instructors were in Camp Verde, Arizona last week to present an innovative new training program to National Park Service personnel from the Intermountain Region. The course was developed out of a special request from Karen Breslin, the Regional Accessibility Coordinator. Karen wanted park personnel trained so they may conduct accessibility assessments of their own facilities and initiate the work-order and special funding requests. Students in the course represented a range of parks and facility management responsibilities. Students prepared in advance by completing coursework online prior to the 3-day on-site program. Advance homework included review of park documents recommending accessibility improvements such as general management plans, cultural resource plans, historic structures reports and long range interpretive plans. In Camp Verde, students were able to gain valuable information from the NCA instructional team with an instructor-guided assessment at Montezuma Castle National Monument. The 113 degree heat didn't deter students from further practicing their assessment skills on their own the following day at Montezuma Well. Now back at their respective duty-stations, students have identified access improvement goals for the coming months and will utilize NCA instructors as mentors through the process of assessment and planning.
June definitely was a month for hot NCA training. Park and recreation practitioners from around the country gathered in St. Louis for the NCA training course, Accessibility Management in Parks, Recreation and Tourism. In addition to sessions lead by NCA instructors, a special presentation was made by Jerry Kerr, President and Founder of the Seg4Vets, which has awarded more than 700 Segways to service members severely injured and permanently disabled while serving in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Kerr spoke on the new DOJ regulations addressing other powered mobility devices included in the 2010 revisions to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students also had the opportunity to put their new knowledge to work with a field exercise at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial (aka. The Arch). Announcement of the 2012 NCA Training Calendar will be made later this summer through this newsletter.
NCA Staff Assess PA Parks and Make a Visit to the Site of Flight 93
In May, the NCA Accessibility Specialists, Alice Voigt, Nikki Montembeault, Jeff Townsend, Michelle Cook and Brent Wells were in Pennsylvania conducting accessibility assessments at Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site, Johnstown Flood National Memorial, Friendship Hill National Historic Site, and Fort Necessity National Battlefield. During the trip, the accessibility specialists got a rare behind the scenes tour of construction of the visitor center at the new Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville. Phase I of the memorial is scheduled to be dedicated this year on the 10th anniversary of September 11th. "The temporary visitor center is a small space, but it holds a wealth of emotions in the form of items left along the fence in memory of the passengers and crew," says Nikki Montembeault. "We were able to review the site plans and construction." The visitor shelter at the arrival court will have floor to ceiling windows to allow for indoor viewing year-round. A special area has been designed for the families to pay their respects in solitude at the Sacred Ground. "It provokes an incredibly, indescribable gamut of emotions," says Montembeault. More information about the design, construction updates and dedication are available through the memorial web site: www.nps.gov/flni
First Year Findings on the Accessibility of Playground Surfaces Published
Do playground surfaces remain accessible for people with disabilities over time? A research team at the National Center on Accessibility (NCA) at Indiana University is attempting to answer that question. The first year findings from a longitudinal study on the installation and maintenance of accessible playground surfaces reveal there is no perfect playground surface. The NCA study, which is being funded by the U.S. Access Board, is examining the performance of various types of surfacing materials at 25 newly constructed playgrounds, including poured-in-place rubber, engineered wood fiber, rubber tiles, and hybrid surface systems.

World Health Organization Releases First-ever Report on Disability
On June 9, the World Health Organization released its first-ever Report on Disability and revealed new global estimates that more than one billion people experience some form of disability. The new research shows that almost one-fifth of the estimated global total of persons living with disabilities, or between 110-190 million, encounter significant difficulties. The report stresses that few countries have adequate mechanisms in place to respond to the needs of people with disabilities. Barriers include stigma and discrimination; lack of adequate health care and rehabilitation services; inaccessible transportation; buildings; information and communication technologies. As a result, people with disabilities experience poorer health, lower educational achievements, fewer economic opportunities and higher rates of poverty than people without disabilities. Read more >
New Universal Design Web Site Launched
Longtime advocate for Universal Design and nationally renowned architect, John Salmen, has launched the new and improved universaldesign.com. The purpose of the site is to serve as a philanthropic portal of information, commerce, and professional networking for the entire Universal Design industry. The goal is to provide a web site where products and services can be offered, success stories can be shared and engaging discussions can focus on Universal Design. Salmen says the design of the site allows users to see the broader and narrower context of the items of their interest. Read the web site's first feature by Jenny Sullivan, "Is Universal Design the Next Big Thing?"
Shared Use Paths Taking Center Stage in Accessibility Standards Development and New Initiative Encouraging Play
Are you designing a new pathway system? Shared use paths have become a popular topic of discussion, among them--use as non-motorized means to connect people to community destinations, opportunities for play, the need for accessibility standards. As you develop design plans, be sure to follow upcoming rulemaking and a creative new initiative.
In March, the U.S. Access Board released an advance notice of rulemaking on its intent to develop accessibility standards for shared use paths. The Access Board will continue to receive comments from the public as it embarks on this rulemaking process.
American Trails, Playcore and the Natural Learning Initiative at North Carolina State University have also teamed up to create greater awareness and demonstrate opportunities for play on shared use paths. Coined as "an innovative way to bring play into nature," Pathways for Play project provides resources and case studies for park and recreation practitioners on how they may incorporate play pockets along trails for inclusive, healthy outdoor recreation opportunities. A webinar was hosted in June featuring Robin Moore, internationally known for his teachings on universal design in landscape architecture. Design examples and other resources are available through the Pathways web site.

Texas is a lot better known for ten-gallon hats than broad-brimmed plain ones.
But a single Amish settlement does exist in the Lone Star state, near the town of Beeville in Bee County. The Bee County settlement is the 2nd-most southerly Amish community in North America.

This library item is related to the following area(s) of work:Security and Survivability
This article was originally published in News at SEI on: June 1, 2002
Shawn Hernan, a team leader with the CERT Coordination Center at the SEI, spends a good part of his day tracking and analyzing the vulnerability reports he receives from software vendors who have discovered security-related problems in their products. Since January, Hernan and his team have logged more than 1,600 new software vulnerabilities—a staggering number for any system or network administrator to evaluate and possibly act on. The current system of issuing copious warnings and expecting organizations to keep up, Hernan says, is quickly becoming unrealistic.
"It is nearly impossible, and extremely time consuming, for anyone to stay current on these reports and patches. Just reading through them and seeing which ones affect you can take weeks," Hernan says. "We need to look more at preventing them in the first place."
In an effort to help organizations reduce vulnerabilities in software, Hernan has teamed up with members of the Team Software Process (TSP) Initiative at the SEI to consider how improved software quality methods such as the TSP might help developers detect and prevent security defects earlier in the software-development life cycle. Hernan has also developed a list of the five common causes of software defects, which he hopes will help organizations begin to improve their security practices.
According to CERT Coordination Center statistics, more than 90% of software security incidents are caused by attackers exploiting known software defect types.
The TSP provides a framework, set of processes, and collection of disciplined methods for producing quality software. With TSP, software teams can produce near defect-free software with typically fewer than 0.1 defects per thousand source lines of code (KSLOC). Given that a vulnerability is a flaw or defect in a piece of software that allows an intruder to read, modify, or disable the way that software functions in a system, using TSP could yield significant results. "We know that TSP reduces overall software defects. We want to see if it can reduce security defects in software," says Noopur Davis, a member of the TSP team who is working with Hernan. "The question is, how do you design, implement, review, and test software for security?"
The answer lies, in part, in extending TSP for secure systems. Davis said this extension of TSP would support secure software-development practices, help predict the likelihood of security defects by creating specific, security-related measures, and be dynamically tailored to respond to new threats. In the coming months, Davis and her team will explore how applying the TSP can help developers identify and remove vulnerabilities during the early stages of software design and development.
Why are so many software vulnerabilities being reported? The problem, Hernan and Davis agree, is not a lack of available data, knowledge, training, or support regarding security practices. Incident response centers (such as the SEI's CERT Coordination Center), guidelines, checklists, best practices, and other useful materials are widely available. "I have come to believe that a vulnerability is not so much a property of software as it is a property of an organization," Hernan says.
Meanwhile, Davis is curious to see how simply applying TSP might help organizations eliminate more defects, including potential vulnerabilities. For example, most operating systems and commercial software applications are known to have more than 2 defects per KSLOC, or 2,000+ defects per million SLOC. Even if only 5% of these defects are potential security concerns, there are 100 vulnerabilities per million SLOC. "That is still a huge number of defects," she says. "There is significant potential here for TSP to reduce those numbers."
Although there are thousands of known software vulnerabilities, Hernan has been able to categorize them into five main causes (listed below). In addition to realizing potential improvements through applying disciplined processes, organizations can have a better chance of creating secure applications and systems by programming software with these causes in mind:
Davis and Hernan are currently seeking organizations to take part in pilot projects to help develop specific technical solutions—new design and implementation practices—for security, review methods and checklists, and tools. If your organization is interested in participating, please contact the SEI.

Surf News
- 28 August 2009 | Surfing
The world's best surfers are preparing for an assault on one of the world's most high-performance waves as the Hurley Pro Trestles, Event No. 6 of 10 on the 2009 ASP World Tour, bringing the ASP Top 45 to Lower Trestles from September 13 – 19, 2009.
The site of some of the most electrifying performances in the sport's history, the cobblestone A-Frame not only provides the ideal canvas for the world's best to unleash upon, but Lower Trestles will also play a pivotal role in the hunt for this year's ASP World Title.
Joel Parkinson (AUS), 28, current ASP World No. 1, has had a landmark season in 2009, collecting three wins, a 3rd and a 9th en route to his position at the top. Although currently sitting a comfortable 1,402 points ahead of the nearest challenger, the phenomenal natural-footer has been guarded this season when commenting on his ASP World Title campaign as well as details regarding his preparation.
"When you do something that excites you and you enjoy doing it, then it is not hard to stay focused on what needs to be done," Parkinson said. "As far as preparation is concerned, I have just continued with what I have been doing all year, but at the same time you just think about the opportunity of surfing a wave at Trestles and there's that excitement again."
Having proven victorious at the venue before (2004) and given his near-unstoppable form in 2009, Parkinson remains an event favorite going into this season's Hurley Pro Trestles, and the high-performance lefts and rights will allow the well-built Australian to utilize his impressive repertoire of tricks.
"I think one of the necessary ss of any professional sportsperson is adaptability," Parkinson said. "Being able to adapt to different environments, opposition and conditions. I think about the wave at Trestles and I believe my surfing can adapt to it pretty well. I know I am looking forward to it."
C.J. Hobgood (USA), 30, former ASP World Champion (2001) and current ASP World No. 2, will be first in line of those looking to put a halt to Parkinson's juggernaut run this season. The ultra-fit goofy-footer holds an ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) event title at Lower Trestles (2007), but his results at the elite level of competition at the venue have been mixed with two 5ths in '07 and '05, a 33rd in '06 before a 17th last season.

Breezes gusting over 40 knots made racing an impossibility on day five of the 2009 IWA Junior, Youth and Masters World Championships at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA).
Although the RYA Events-run Championship has basked in glorious sunshine all day today (Friday 28 August), the average wind speed rarely dropping below 30 knots meant the sailors were consigned to the shore before the call was made to abandon racing at around 3pm.
It means that the race for the 2009 IWA Junior, Youth and Masters World Championships titles go down to the wire with all medal positions being decided on what is set to be a thrilling final day of racing tomorrow.
Britons currently head the pack in three of the six Championship title races.
Sam Sills leads the Techno boys' Under 17s contest by seven points, Kieran Martin boasts a six-point advantage at the top of the boys' Under 15 leaderboard and Sills' identical twin sisters Imogen and Saskia are locked in a head-to-head battle for the girls' Under 15 crown, Imogen currently just a point ahead of her sister in first place.
Italy's Veronica Fanciulli has a nine-point lead in the girls' Under 17 competition meanwhile Olivier Pinlou, one of four Frenchmen nestled in the top five placings, is in pole position in the Raceboard Youth division. Britain's newly-crowned RS:X Youth World Champion Izzy Hamilton remains the top ranked female.
With three races still required before the second discard kicks in for the Raceboard Masters, Joao Rodrigues' (POR) position at the head of fleet looks marginally more comfortable as the biggest threat to his title challenge, Nikos Kaklamanakis (GRE), still needs to lose one more Did Not Compete (DNC) score to be in with the chance of toppling Rodrigues from the perch on which he has sat all week.
Tom Naylor (GBR) in fourth overall is the highest placed Grand Master, Jean Asia (FRA) in ninth the highest ranked Veteran and Annette Kent (GBR) in 20th the top female.
- 28 August 2009 | Surfing
The finalists for this year's Red Bull Junior Surf Masters Final presented by Mick Fanning were decided in clean contestable surf at North Cronulla today, with just ten of the 24 qualifiers advancing into the main event tomorrow.
Attended by 2009 ASP World Champion Mick Fanning (Tweed Heads, NSW), the trials saw determined performances from Australia's top emerging junior surfers with Tamaroa McComb (Coolangatta, QLD), Noah Lane (Rainbow Beach, QLD), Ty Watson (Currorong, NSW), Dane Atchison (Copacabana, NSW), Cooper Chapman (North Narrabeen, NSW), David Vlug (NSW), Mitch Crews (QLD), Brett Burcher, Sam Lendrum (Nords Wharf, NSW) and Jake Sylvester (Coolangatta, QLD) advancing into the main event.
Competing in grueling 70 minute heats, the ten advancing surfers outclassed the competition to avoid elimination in the unique 'Torched' format that saw the lowest scoring surfer eliminated from the event in 25, 20, and 10 minute intervals, until just two surfers remained.
Conceptualised by Fanning himself, the event is the only one of its kind to utilise this format, presenting a new challenge to young competitors.
"I like that it's only one wave counting so there's no time to sit there and try and tap it all the way to the beach, you have to go all out on every wave " explained Fanning. "This is definitely a stepping stone for the WQS and the kids really seem to be enjoying the contest and the new format and that's our goal."
Tahitian born surfer Tamaroa McComb set the benchmark for the day's performances, emerging as the top scorer with his incredible 9.75 ride (out of a possible ten) to earn the first of the day's slots into the main event.
"I'm stoked I made it, it was pretty hard and I'm feeling really tired now," said McComb. "It definitely gets better heat by heat as you warm up and I was just making sure I went on waves I could do three maneuvers on."
Werri Beach Red Bull Surf Masters top qualifier Ty Watson maintained his recent winning form to advance in first place during the second heat of the day ahead of Dane Atcheson and shared McComb's sentiments.

text: Ya know, When you hit tab twice it send your mail before you are finished with it. Before you spell check it and before you proof read it. I have a corrected and finished version below. Thank you Brian :o) Well, Bordermarch Autumn Melees will be here in a few weeks. We (the Populace of Raven's Fort) have agreed to help Bordermarch with the security of the event. In the past three years we have had about three to four hundred attend the event. This year we expect over 500 or more with Glen Aben planing to attend with their own army. This is how Gulf War started years ago. The last two years we were able to handle the security of the event with a few people on roving patrol keeping close contact with the Gate Keeper and the Autocrat. The main focus was to be visible for any one who had an emergency to be able to contact security, have security look at the situation and see what kind of help was needed. If it was of a legal issue the Autocrat was contacted and if it was a medical issue the Chiurgin was called. Most problems are going to be getting supplies or a Chiurgin to a location. I have found that five areas will be of importance for security issues. Until the activities start the Gate, Parking, Camping and Merchants Row will be of interest. When the competitions are active the castle area will be added to the list. This is what I suggest we do: The Gate Keeper will have a radio of their own, the Chiurgin in Charge (CIC) will have their own radio, and the Autocrat will have a radio. The Autocrat is Baron Santiago. These are their own radios and will not need to be given to them. Security will have five (5) radios available for rotation. Merchant Row will have a Security Check point with one of the merchants. This will give us an established point of contact for that area and all the merchants will be aware Of the location if they need help. A rover will be on duty 24 hrs with radio contact. The rover will be in a farm mule (ATV) with two seats and a load bucket in the rear. Checking on the parking area, merchants row and the camping area are important. The rover will need looking for unattended fires, gas lanterns and candles. Wandering young children who should be with their parents and any activities that that should not be happening at the event. It is up to the Autocrat to decide what to do. Parking will need to be organized and kept in line so that no one is blocked in or or not able to get around each other. ( a parking area layout will be needed.) Long trailers may need some special parking needs. The parking area may require some one on duty to see that all vehicles are parked correctly Water Bearers / Chiurgin's Point will need a radio for emergencies. This will need to be only during the days activities near the castle where most of the main activities are each day. I don't think that having a locked in three hour shift schedule written up now will work at this point. having a list of committed people who will look at their schedule for the event and check in with Baron Brian when they have their camp all set up would be better in this situation. I will be in charge of security during the event. If any one has a preference of which day and which hours they can commit to helping with security they can contact me at jareuter1066 at sbcglobal.net . I will need the following information if you would like to assist: SCA Name Day Thur Fri Sat Sun Hours Four hours would be nice Thank you for your time and help. YIS Baron Brian du Val

The Japan Tourism Agency (観光庁 Kankō-chō ), abbreviated JTA, is an organization which was set up on October 1, 2008 as an extra-ministerial bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
Japan Tourism Agency seated itself with intentions to stimulate local economies and to further international mutual understanding, following legislation of Basic Act on Promotion of Tourism Nation (in December 2006, to wholly revise Tourism Basic Act), committee resolutions in both Houses of the Diet in the legislation process, and decision at a Cabinet meeting of Basic Plan (in June 2007) which was drawn as provided by the Basic Act. One legal basis of the Agency is Act for Establishment of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
The two committee resolutions (of almost the same contents) are made by the Committee on Land and Transport of each House of the Diet, to point out eight issues on which the government should take appropriate measures when it enforces the Basic Act. In the issue No. 8 it was stated that the government should make efforts to set up tourism agency or so.
