CHESTER, Pa. – Heading into the Philadelphia Union's home date with the San Jose Earthquakes on July 10, everything was going great for Shea Salinas.
The 24-year-old had started seven of the last nine games for the Union, proving his worth as both a winger and a fullback. He settled nicely into Philadelphia, bonding well with his new teammates and fans. And he was anxious to show the Earthquakes that they made a mistake by leaving him unprotected in the 2009 expansion draft.
But instead of gaining any redemption, Salinas suffered an injury that halted his momentum, led to what he'd call "an awful two months" and would eventually lead to his departure from another team.
Unprotected in Wednesday's expansion draft, Salinas was swiped by the Vancouver Whitecaps, ending his up-and-down stint in Philadelphia and leaving Union fans to wonder if they would miss out on seeing the youngster unlock his true potential.
For Union Manager Peter Nowak, it all came down to that fateful game against the Earthquakes when Salinas suffered a stress fracture that put him out of commission for two months.
"Unfortunately for Shea, he started seven games and played in a little bit more than half of our games," Nowak said. "Of course we have to look at that. As much as we'd love to have him with us this season, that's the unfortunate beauty of the expansion draft."
At no point did the Union manager say that Salinas didn't have the capability to become a great MLS player. What he did imply was that it would be unfair to protect him over players that had done more to prove it on the field.
When Salinas returned from injury in mid-September, he had trouble finding his place on the team as midseason acquisitions Sheanon Williams and Justin Mapp firmly entrenched themselves in the starting lineup, both in positions Salinas used to occupy.
So for the second straight season, the Texan became expendable. And for the second straight season, his blazing speed, low salary and relative youth made him an easy choice to be drafted by a new team.
"At the time, I felt like I was going to get protected and I wasn't," Salinas said back in July about the 2009 expansion draft. "[The Earthquakes] decided they wanted to go a different way or they didn't think I'd be picked up. It surprised me, but I'm happy here in Philadelphia and I like it a lot."
Now he has to start over again, nearly 3,000 miles from where he had to start over before. And when he does, he will have learned a valuable lesson: one bad step can change your life, for better or worse.

|Do the ears have a built-in protection against loud sounds? New research finds that the ears may be able to turn down the volume to avoid damage. Writing in the journal PLoS Biology, researchers described genetically enhancing one protein found on sensory hair cells in mouse ears. The mutant mice with the enhanced form of this protein, a molecular receptor for the brain chemical, acetylcholine, were able to withstand loud noises better than regular mice (although they also weren't as sensitive to quiet noises to begin with.) The researchers say the finding could lead to drugs with a similar effect, artificially 'turning down' the volume in the ear to protect against loud noises. We'll find out more.

Young Talent at the Queen's Cancer Research Institute
Dr. Chris Booth
Cancer Care and Epidemiology
It's natural to assume that a cancer drug or treatment that survives clinical trials and enters routine practice will perform as it did during the trials. But that's not always the case – and there are good reasons why.
To be part of a clinical trial, patients must have the disease or condition that the trial treatment is designed to address, but otherwise they are usually reasonably fit, young, active, and free of other diseases that might complicate the interpretation of trial results. As well, trial patients are treated by specialists at state-of-the-art cancer hospitals. In other words, the strict eligibility criteria that apply to clinical trial subjects don't necessarily apply to everyday patients, who more often than not are elderly, have multiple illnesses and are treated in hospitals big and small.
"Results of clinical trials reflect what happens when a new drug is given to 'Olympic' patients, by 'Olympic' doctors and nurses in 'Olympic centres,'" says Dr. Chris Booth, a medical oncologist and associate professor at Queen's. "But what happens when you take potentially toxic medications that have been given to these 'Olympians' in tightly-controlled situations and treat thousands of patients who are older, sicker, with other co-morbidities, and who are treated by real doctors in the real world?"
To answer this question, Booth analyzes data in the Ontario Cancer Registry and provincial treatment records, a massive repository of population-based data about every cancer patient in Ontario. It contains decades' worth of anonymous information about cancer type, the patient's age, treatment, long-term survival, geographic location and a host of other factors that together paint a vivid picture of cancer care and outcomes in Ontario. For cancer health services researchers like Booth, the registry is a gold mine of information that can offer vital clues about changes in cancer incidence, how it is being treated, whether there are gaps in care that need to be addressed as well as patient outcomes achieved in the "real world." Another Queen's professor of oncology, Dr. Bill Mackillop, pioneered the use of the Ontario Cancer Registry for health services and outcomes research in the early 1990s, and successfully lobbied for Ontario's chemotherapy and radiation treatment records to be made available for research.
One way Booth's work has made a difference involves an investigation on the use of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients who have had surgery for lung cancer. An international clinical trial led by the NCIC Clinical Trials Group (now known, as of January 2016 as Canadian Cancer Trials Group) and published in 2004 showed that adjuvant therapy improved the survival rates of lung cancer patients by as much as 15 percent. It was a landmark finding that, almost immediately, changed treatment recommendations worldwide. Subsequent research by Booth and colleagues showed that "real world" patients treated in Ontario derived a survival benefit very close to that seen in the clinical trial. But while use of adjuvant therapy for lung cancer increased after 2004, the increase was not as much as expected. The study also revealed that some cancer hospitals in the province used adjuvant therapy more often than others – thus opening the door for further improvement in care and better outcomes for patients with lung cancer in Ontario.
"Society invests a huge amount of time and money towards finding new treatments for cancer," says Booth, "but if we invest some of those resources to ensure that doctors do some of the things that we already know work, the population health benefits would be enormous."

Orbiter Forum Paypal Account Status
by Xyon 09-17-2015, 04:40 PM
Hello folks,
We are currently experiencing some problems with PayPal due to some technicalities in their regulations and the laws they operate under.
The forum is registered as a business in Australia, and through generous donation we have now exceeded a PayPal balance of $1,000 AUD. This has prompted PayPal to demand more information about our "business" and caused us all a bit of a headache. We are currently preparing the documentation they've asked for, however, we are unable to present it in time to prevent PayPal suspending the forum account.
What does this mean for the board? Nothing, in the short term. I am managing the forum server costs from my own funds for now. It will however prevent us from receiving donations until the matter is resolved, which will perhaps be the only visible indication that all is not well. Forum life will continue as normal during this period.
The staff would like to again thank you all for your generous support, and to reiterate that the problems with PayPal are not caused by having no money in it, but by having too much. We will, again, present figures at the end of the year and highlight the suspension periods for those interested.

Hello again folks,
It's taken a little longer than I would have liked, but I can now confirm that normal service has resumed on the forum PayPal account. We are once again able to accept donations and pay our bills from the central account.
Many thanks for your patience throughout the somewhat confusing period of unavailability, and a happy new year to you, too!

Russia defends Syria against the West with cyber attacks
MOSCOW, Russia - In a bid to get back at the West for launching a military strike on its close ally Syria, over an alleged chemical weapons attack on Douma - Russia is now said to be responding with cyber attacks in Syria's defense.
According to reports, on Monday, Russia "reignited" its disinformation campaign against the U.K. and U.S. with pro-Russian sympathisers and bots spreading a Russian claim that there was no chemical attack on Douma.
Further, the bots spread news that the alleged chemical attack was a "false flag" operation by the White Helmets rescue volunteer group.
The claim by Russia comes at a time when the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, is likely to face heavy political pressure over her decision to bomb Syria's chemical weapons program.
Russian officials have claimed that the Douma attack was staged to distract the public from a supposed lack of clarity about who poisoned ex-spy Sergei Skripal in Salibsury in March.
According to NATO's disinformation monitors in Europe, they have seen a concerted effort by Russia to deny the Douma attack took place.
This, despite confirmation from the World Health Organisation, rescue workers, independent journalists and medics about the situation on ground and the impact of the attack.
NATO's East Stratcom Task Force reported, "Immediately after the reports of a suspected chemical attack in Syrian Douma appeared, Russia reignited its disinformation campaign on the use of chemical weapons in Syria."
According to Hamilton 68, a website set up by researchers working with the Alliance for Securing Democracy, a transatlantic project set up to counter Russian disinformation campaigns - Syria is the leading hashtag on social media accounts identified as part of Russia-linked influence networks.
The website noted that the top single web page being promoted was a link to a report on Russia's claim that the Skripals were poisoned with a different toxin to the one identified by the independent chemical weapons watchdog last week.
NATO's East Stratcom Task Force which focuses on countering pro-Kremlin propaganda published the Dininfo Review, which said that there is a "serious risk that Russia wins the information confrontation."
Stratcom explained that the Kremlin was attempting to "flood the information space with misleading and deliberately false stories."
According to one analysis, Russian disinformation accounted for two out of every three articles about the Skripal case shared on social media.
Meanwhile, media reports noted that the U.K. government has confirmed a "20-fold" increase in disinformation being spread by Kremlin-linked social media "bot" accounts since the U.K., U.S. and France attacked Syria's chemical weapons infrastructure on Saturday.
Further, on Monday, British intelligence agencies warned that the Putin regime could hit back with "dirty tricks" such as distributing compromising material on members of the May cabinet.
According to officials, they have even prepared for a direct cyber-attack on U.K. national infrastructure, pointing out that they had "pre-positioned" inside Russian computer networks and would launch a retaliatory attack if the U.K. was targeted.
Russia has strongly opposed the U.K., U.S. and France's action against Syria.

Animal rights activists appalled at Nature's violence
friendly, larger print version
Animal rights activists appalled at Nature's violence
LOS ANGELES - Last week, the militant animal rights organization BAMBI masterminded a spectacular "bust-out" of hundreds of zoo animals from the Yorba Loma Zoo, where they had been kept captive for many years. The bust-out reinforced the strength of BAMBI's popular support among animal lovers and has started to change the political balance between animals and people.
Over the years, BAMBI's armed branch has committed many violent acts that deserve criticism, but so have numerous others in the animal rights movement. With this bold movement, though, animal rights proponents hoped that the animals might take up the leadership of their own cause and stage mass uprisings. The result, they hoped, would be a harmonious and balanced co-existence of nature and humans.
However, many unexpected troubles have sent events spinning out of the control of the would-be liberators, leading some to question whether animals are ready for freedom.
A Bengal tiger went on a rampage, killing two young female activists, even as they urged the tiger to escape to the nearby hills. A mountain lion killed and carried off a capybara, a beaver sized rodent from South America. A bobcat likewise took advantage of several aimlessly wandering rabbits from the petting zoo.
Sean McGregor, an unofficial spokesman for the group, said, "We abhor this violence, though we accept that it is part of the growing pains of an egalitarian society of fellow animals. We especially decry the actions of the big cats, which seem to have no intention of affording peace and security to their prey."
Many of the savannah animals gathered into a large herd and proceeded to cross the interstate highway, where many were hit and maimed by traffic. Two motorists were also killed when a hartebeest slammed through their windshield.
One motorist in the halted traffic mounted the hood of his car and called the activists hypocrites, noting that they had themselves driven to the protest, and that they were wearing leather shoes and woolen sweaters. The protesters promised to campaign for the construction of more factories to produce synthetic fibers from oil, and then lit his car on fire. Activists formed a mob to attack the remaining motorists and urged closure and removal of all highways.
Police managed to shoot dead most of the dangerous animals, and rounded up about half of the large quadrupeds, though several had to be put down with injuries. Smaller animals were left to fend for themselves and are expected to die of starvation in the wild within a few days. No action has been taken against the protesters.
"There may have to be a transitional period in which humans remain engaged, to teach the animals respect for one another and to honor each other's basic rights," McGregor commented. The group plans another press release in a few days to discuss the status of hostages they took during the raid.
Future actions will probably focus more on attacks against animal researchers and their families and neighbors, and less on mass releases until the kinks can be worked out regarding the animals killing each other.

WikiLeaks founder Assange reportedly has lung infection
QUITO, Ecuador – Ecuador's ambassador to Britain says WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has developed a chronic lung infection and requires constant medical attention at his refuge in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London.
Ambassador Ana Alban made the comment to reporters in the Ecuadorean capital of Quito on Wednesday without offering further details.
Assange took refuge in Ecuador's London embassy on June 19 after unsuccessfully fighting extradition from Britain to Sweden for questioning on sexual assault charges filed by two women. Ecuador later granted him asylum.
Alban says Ecuador is covering Assange's medical costs and continues to seek his safe passage out of Britain. British authorities have refused.
Assange gained fame for publishing online the biggest trove ever of sensitive documents, U.S. diplomatic cables and military files from the U.S. and Afghan wars.

Fassy or Coop?
Michael Fassbender was named Best Actor last night at the Moet British Independent Film Awards in London. Shame just opened in North America in limited release to a very healthy box office. So it was a good weekend.
This is for Sarah from Cinesnark who quivers for the Fassy and also admires the...Cumby? Is that what we call him? Benedict Cumberbatch? He of strange name and even stranger face?
Bradley Cooper, the reigning Sexiest Man Alive, was also at the event and appeared to be crowded by the ladies even though he's been swearing up and down during every interview that he doesn't consider himself sexy and couldn't believe it when they gave him the title. Yeah but he still took it. Because on career strategy, that was the move they felt they had to make. But I wonder if he looks at Michael Fassbender and wishes he could have followed a different trajectory.
Fassy and Coop wore grey suits...
Fassy or Coop? Here's your chance, Coop fans, to make yourself heard. I'm throwing this out there tomorrow during the liveblog.

Netbooks are on the rise. The bare-bones laptops, which typically cost
under $500 and are designed for web surfing and email, are increasingly
the focus of major PC makers looking for growth.
And for good reason.
According to Gartner and DisplaySearch, 5.6mn
netbooks were sold in Q3 2008. To put things in perspective, 4.7mn
iPhones were sold during that same period. 14mn netbooks were sold in
all of 2008 and already netbooks account for 10% of the total PC market in Europe.
Two of the leading netbook manufacturers, Acer and ASUS, expect to sell 12-13mn and 7mn units in 2009, respectively, leading Ari Allyn-Feuer of Ars Technica to speculate that 30mn might be purchased in 2009.
Obviously, netbooks are changing the market.
While many have remained skeptical about the real potential of the mobile internet and many web designers and online publishers have not felt the need to make their websites mobile-friendly, the numbers demonstrate that the netbook is for real. In fact, one might argue that when consumers can purchase a basic model for about the same price as a smartphone, the netbook is the mobile internet.
This raises two big issues for web designers to consider.
Screen resolution. Most netbooks have a 1024×600 resolution. The most widely-used screen resolution is 1024×768. While this means that web designers shouldn't have to fret about the width of the pages they design, the increasing prevalence of widescreen monitors with higher resolutions is going to be problematic. Combined, 1280×800 and 1280×1024 have almost as much market share as 1024×600 and at some point it seems inevitable that 1024×768 will be passed by these higher resolutions.
As such, designers will, sooner than later, have a familiar dilemma – how to create designs that maximize the space provided by increasingly popular large widescreen desktop monitors while not leaving a substantial audience of netbook users behind.
Processing power and memory. Most netbooks have modest processing power and a limited amount of memory (the most affordable netbooks come with 1GB of RAM). While this should be sufficient for most web browsing, the growing trend of pushing processing from the server to the client using AJAX and technologies like Google Gears could create problems since netbooks are not ideally suited to such burdens.
Rich media applications, such as Flash, can also quickly strain machines with modest specs. An instructive experiment – open up several websites that use Flash video (i.e. YouTube) in separate tabs and watch the impact on memory usage.
As netbooks grow in popularity, web designers will need to weigh how much resource consumption they're causing on the client side and how much rich media, such as Flash, they really should make use of.
The growing popularity of netbooks indicates that by the time the market reaches some sort of saturation point, there will likely be tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of netbook users.
That's the type of audience smart designers won't ignore and there are different approaches available to serve the netbook audience. The use of multiple websites (one designed for desktops and laptops with higher resolutions and greater power and the other for netbooks), for instance, is obviously not ideal. The use of fixed widths and designs that still display core content elegantly when other content gets cut off are probably more viable options.

The Kiss
Measures: 180 x 180 cm
Technique: Oil on canvas
Depository: Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, ViennaThe Kiss (In German: Der Kuss) was painted by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt between 1907-08, the highpoint of his 'Golden Period', when he painted a number of works in a similar gilded style. A perfect square, the canvas depicts a couple embracing, their bodies entwined in elaborate robes decorated in a style influenced by both linear constructs of the contemporary Art Nouveau style and the organic forms of the earlier Arts and Crafts movement. The work is composed of conventional oil paint with applied layers of gold leaf, an aspect that gives it its strikingly modern, yet evocative appearance. The painting is now in the Österreichische

About the hotel
On "Oosterdokseiland" (ODE), right next to Central Station and within the historic city centre, is the impressive, newly-built DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Amsterdam Centraal Station. This DoubleTree by Hilton hotel with a modern architectural design is characterised by its transparency and versatility. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows are featured in each guest room, meeting room and all bars and restaurant spaces within the hotel, providing plenty of daylight and impressive views of the city.
The many outdoor areas such as waterfront terraces, Sky terrace, suite balconies, court yard and private roof terraces ensure that each and every guest can enjoy the serenity of the city from the tranquility of the hotel. The rooms and suites at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Amsterdam Centraal Station feature a variety of facilities to make your stay as comfortable as possible such as individually controlled air conditioning, windows that open, and an iMac system which functions both as a TV and computer. High-speed internet access and Wi-Fi is also available free of charge throughout the entire hotel. The hotel's main restaurant, City Café, offers an international fare with local flavour. Diners in City Café can feast upon the magnificent views over the waters of the Oosterdok whilst enjoying fresh cuisine from seasonal, high quality ingredients. The comfortable, yet sophisticated atmosphere is complemented with a service of excellence that will make your visit for breakfast, lunch and dinner a memorable culinary experience. As with City Café, the East Dock Lounge offers a bright and open atmosphere where meeting and relaxing is the main focus. Besides an extensive selection of local and international beers, wines and other beverages, the East Dock Lounge offers a unique whisky collection. The menu focuses on healthy and light meals. The East Dock Lounge may therefore be called the new living room of Amsterdam joined by a large, south facing terrace for sunny days.

The best location to have a drink in Amsterdam!In addition to several exclusive rooms at the City Café on the ground floor, the first floor offers over 1,000 square feet of modern meeting and event spaces.

Hey Kenico, you want to have Shinai and Nahlveen speak a little bit before they unleash a storm to take down the fighters?
I have a feeling that Dom is going to scold us so me and Exia mututally agreed we're going to calm the hell down so...yeah XD
Should... should I step in? Or is it too late?
alrighty then XD
Kenico, for the Star Wars RP, you can release the Beast.
I hope you've following the Star Wars RP. Things are about to get serious. To sum things up: Traya made it to the ruins but was repelled by a large creature called a Leviathan; Archaic One (plus Asalyn) faced a Bull Rancor and lived by offering up Asalyn's dead pet cat; Ann returned back to the camp and nearly sparked a confrontation between her and Asalyn. Right now, Traya has each of us (including Asalyn) with a bolt of lightning and has led the Leviathan back to the camp. So yeah, things are pretty grim right now.
Aye I did very nice!
By the way, did you see the lightsaber maneuvers Arwen pulled off on the Star Wars RP?
Hell yeah! XD Just need to read up on it! XD

The village of Mount Morris will get state funding of $433,500 to restore the New Family Theater, and Kraft Foods Inc. will get $125,000 to build a new production line in Avon, Empire State Development Corp. officials announced Friday.
The 75-year-old New Family Theater has been abandoned and deteriorating for years, but will benefit from a Restore NY III grant to restore the building, officials said. Total project cost is $563,500.
The Kraft planty in Avon has been the sole producer of the company's Cool Whip product since 1995, and recently added a production line for its Lunchables line of food products. The $125,000 grant will increase production capacity for Lunchables by 50 percent, officials said.
The ESDC board of directors on Friday approved grants totaling $7.7 million.

Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
Accounting & Financial Management
Our program blurs the lines between accounting and finance.Learn more
A lot of people you interact with are not accounting people, so you need to be able to communicate with anybody.
Kristy Schenck knew she wanted to be a college professor even before she knew she wanted to study accounting.
As an undergraduate looking for the right major, she felt first-hand the positive effect excellent teachers can have. "All the professors I had were so great in helping students identify what they wanted to do," she says. "They made such a difference in my life, I'd love to do the same thing."
After earning her degree in accounting, Schenck worked as an accountant for several years before returning to graduate school, knowing the practical experience would help her be a better teacher. Working at PricewaterhouseCoopers, known as one of the "Big Four" accounting firms, at a real estate investment firm, and at the U.S. Department of Defense gave her a broad understanding of the job market her students will enter.
Schenck looks forward to teaching the life skills that students need as much as the technical accounting knowledge. Communication skills top her list. "A lot of people you interact with are not accounting people, so you need to be able to communicate with anybody," she says.
She also looks forward to learning along with her students under Bucknell's teacher-scholar model. Her research focuses on deterrents to accounting crime. For her dissertation, Schenck asked whether the knowledge that one company is under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prompts peer companies to clean up their accounting acts. To see whether the likelihood of misreporting is lower after the public revelation of SEC involvement in another company, she looked at a comprehensive measure of likelihood of misreporting that includes financial characteristics, management characteristics and governance characteristics.
She found that peer companies did indeed change their accounting practices under three conditions: companies that use one of the big four auditing firms, that are in industries in which the SEC is more persistent with investigations, and that share the same types of aggressive accounting practices with a company under investigation were all more likely to show changes in their accounting practices after learning that a similar company was the target of an SEC investigation.
In the future, Schenck would like to study the effect of social connections on accounting practices. "There are a lot of people who serve on other company's boards," she says. "I would like to see how social networks help or hurt deterrence."

When I left the house today one of the neighbours held the door open for me. When I told him thank you and goodbye, he replied: "hasta luego senorita"
Not something I would normally think that much about (apart from to feel happy he had thought I was young enough to be called "miss" as opposed to "Mrs".
But today it seemed significant as I won't be a señorita for much longer.
One year ago, give or take a few days, I got engaged. Now, in only a matter of days I'm going to get married. The whole thing is surreal.
Weddings always seemed like things that happen to other people, not to me. And even when we set the date it seemed like some mythical milestone off in the future, something that would never happen.
Yet here it is. On Saturday I will become Señora Borrachero and married life will begin.
When I think back to the moment I took the plunge into the bottomless sea that is wedding planning, I had no idea the amount of time, work and money that goes into the whole thing.
Why anyone would want to be a professional wedding planner, I have no idea.
The stress has started building up in the last few days. And it's not just me. Poor J nearly had a nervous breakdown the other day while he was trying to put our table list into alphabetical order.
And I had one today when a man from a restaurant I've never heard of rang up to confirm my booking for Friday night for 40 people. We're still not sure who made that booking or how he got my number, but it's cancelled now. An ex boyfriend trying to mess with my head maybe?
The pre-wedding manicness is probably going to get worse as this week goes on. My parents are arriving tonight with my aunt and uncle. Hopefully someone has already broken it to Auntie Joyce that there's no beach in Madrid.
It's all manageable – so far. We just need to breathe deeply and remember that it's only a wedding.
The important thing is me and J, saying "si, quiero" in front of all our loved ones. The other things are extra details.
Anyway, this is my last day at work. I'll be back post-honeymoon with the full report, but for now I'm signing off.
Thanks for sharing my journey from engaged to here. What a journey it's been.
Spain's own Duchess of Alba said "Every good love story ends with a wedding".
But she's wrong. Because really the wedding is only the beginning. And I can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter.

I was trying to understand the Eilenberg-Mazur swindle (which I learned about here) especially as it could be used to show that if $A, B$ are compact (topological) $n$-manifolds whose connect sum is $S^n$ (i,e. $A \# B= S^n$) then $A=B=S^n$.
The trick seems to make use of the fact that:
(1) The infinite connect sum (when properly defined) of spheres is a non-compact manifold with one end (indeed is euclidean space).
(2) The infinite connect sum is associative in that any placement of parentheses that are not infinitely nested does not change the infinite connect sum.
I was confused for a bit because if one allows for infinitely nested parentheses one seems to be able to get a non-compact manifold with an arbitrary number of ends. The idea here is that with infinitely nested parentheses one could add spheres "on alternating sides" and so produce a cylinder i.e. a manifold with two ends.
On the other hand, if one is looking at absolutely convergent sums of real numbers then it would appear that one can allow infinite nesting of parentheses without issue. Though I'm not clear on what happens for conditionally convergent sums.
My question is whether my intuition about what can go wrong with infinite nesting justified? (I am coming at it from a very geometric point of view which may be a problem). What is the right framework to think about when one is asking whether infinite nesting is possible or note? I could imagine there is some sort of abstract algebra/category theoretic context in which such things are studied.
I apologize if this is sort a trivial question but I haven't thought much about algebra in a long time. (P.S I didn't know how to categorize this question so made a rough stab at it).

Bye Bye Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies…
I have been so excited to post this cookie recipe. It is by far one of my very favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes. The taste and texture is better than any I've tried. No more paper flat cookies!
My adorable sister Kim, who I have a zillion nicknames for, such as: Kammon, Kammy and Snitchy, has developed this winning cookie recipe, using none other than coconut oil in place of the butter. You'd think these cookies would taste like coconut, but they really don't, just the slightest hint of coconut without any shavings. If she wouldn't have told me, I would never have guessed.
Not only does it make an incredible cookie, but my sister has researched coconut oil and it has some major health benefits. Google it if you're interested.
I bought my coconut oil from Sprouts here in AZ, but I'm assuming any Whole Foods, Trader Joes, AJ's Fine Foods will also carry it. You can google it and find places online to order it as well.
I promise you, you will not be disappointed in these. They are fantastic! I can't wait to try substituting coconut oil in my brownies and chocolate cupcakes. My sis said it makes the BEST brownies, that will be next on my "to make" list! Thanks Kimmy! I am so lucky to have such a beautiful, talented and hilarious sister, Love you cutie! If you are in need of unique affordable clothing, check out her online boutique under my "some favorites" list.
1 Cup softened Virgin Coconut Oil
3/4 Cup brown sugar
3/4 Cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 Cup flour
1 Cup pecans, ground
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 bag chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer, cream oil and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined. Slowly add flour, ground pecans, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips until just combined.
2. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes, until slightly golden around edges.

Now that's something new! I've got to try these! What a smart sister…I'd never think of coconut oil!
And congrats on your awards! You absolute are "excellent"!
- 2
oops..I just posted and it appears to have disappeared! But if this is a double, that's good, cause it's a double congrats!
I'd never think of coconut oil, either! What a great idea…can't wait to try these out. If I don't have chocolate chip cookies in the house, there's a riot.
And congrats on your awards! You certainly are "excellent"!
PS…reminding my bro today about your baseball tickets to make sure everything is good to go!

I will have to see if I can find some coconut oil – we have no Whole Foods or Trader Joes. I guess if all else fails, I'll just have to order some online!
- 3.1
You can get coconut oil at most regular grocery stores, usually located near other specialty oils like sesame, peanut etc. And BTW these cookies are GREAT!
- 4
I think I have an excuse to head over to Trader Joe's soon… going to have to try these cookies!
- 5
Very interesting, I would have never thought to use coconut oil! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
- 6
What a neat idea. I'm definitely going to have to experiment a bit with coconut oil!
- 7
HI Catherine,
I agree, I like to have cookies in my house at all time! Tell you bro thanks in advance for the b-ball tickets!
HI Deborah,
I'd even try your local grocery store, I think my sister has seen some at Walmart.
Hi Patsyk,
I always look for excuses to head to Trader's!
Hope you enjoy it Steph!
Recipe girl,
I am going to be doing some experimenting as well. I guess you can even saute your veggis. It's supposed to be great. We'll see.
- 8
Those chocolate chip cookies look amazing! I will have to look for some coconut oil.
- 9
I'm definitely going to try these cookies – as I LOVE coconut, but my family not so much. I think the coconut oil will satisfy my taste as well as my family's "no-taste". Once again- thanks for sharing – tell your sis! I've bought some really cute things from her!
- 10
try frying your pancakes in coconut oil instead of cooking spray…it gives a nice crisp edge that just can't be beat!!!
i'm going to try your cookies!
- 11
Oh Jen, the photography on these are so superb….definitely worth the wait! Thanks for the shout out, glad you enjoyed them..you'll LOVE the brownies too!
- 12
Thanks Kevin! I highly recommend them!
Hope you enjoy them Bonnie!
Thanks for the great tip Annonomous!
Thanks again for the recipe Kimmy!
- 13
These look great! My good friend is always telling me the benefits of coconut oil! Ineed to get on the ball and get me some!! Will is ruin the recipe is I leave out the ground pecans? Could I substitute almonds? ( my hubby thinks he is allergic to pecans)
- 14
Those look and sound delish!
I have never used coconut oil myself, but it is good for you!
- 15
I've never worked with Coconut oil before..
I guess i'll have to find somewhere to buy it! I love the flavor of coconut!
These look scrumptious.. I can't wait to see how other things turn out with coconut oil!
- 16
Hi, I was referred to your blog by my friend, Keri Willis. I am IN LOVE with your recipes and read your blog religiously. I also checked out your sisters blog and LOVE her aprons. I just thought I'd comment since I've been a faithful reader for some time now. The sugar cookies were a HUGE hit here. Carry on.
- 17
Thanks for sharing! I will have to buy some more coconut oil and try these.
By the way even wal-mart and super target will have coconut oil. Just look where the other oils are. But look for virgin because it's the natural kind.
- 18
Hi Melanie,
You could absolutely substitute almonds for the pecans. Any nut would work fine.
Thanks Jenndz!
Hi Ryley,
I agree, I'm going to give brownies a try next!
Hi Marie,
Yes, Keri is my sister's Sister in law if that makes any sense!! She is a sweetheart! Thanks so much for commenting and visiting my blog. Hope you find more yummy recipes for you and your family!
Thank you so much for the info on Target and Walmart. I hadn't checked there yet. It's probably even less expensive! Thanks!
- 19
I think I saw some coconut oil at Wal Mart the other day. That's so weird, because I was thinking about buying it.
Well now I have to!
I think movie theaters pop popcorn in coconut oil. (I think)
- 20
Hi Jenny, I get on your blog everyday now. I was just wondering i tfhere is a place where I could find all of these contest you enter in to? I want to enter a cooking contest and don't know where to go. Please let me know. Thanks!
Also those Toffee Crunch Cookies were good. I'm going to try the tempting shredded chicken taquitos tonight.
- 21
Hi Price Family,
Thanks for visiting my blog so much! I subscribe to this website (link below) where it gives the details of all of the cooking contests going on all over the country. It's $25 per year, but really worth it if you are interested in contesting. Let me know if you have any other questions. It is a great hobby!
With my busy schedule I have to plan according to what is going on with my kids from day to day. I cook when I can. I have found that trading days with my boys friend's moms is so nice. I'll have a house full of boys for a few hours, then they all go to the friends' house. That is when I get alot done. Also when everyone goes to bed, I enjoy cooking if I'm not exhausted!
- 22
these sound great, altho im from the uk so will have to go online to get my oil. but sounds worth it u never can go wrong with choc chip cookies!!
- 23
Just what I need … ANOTHER chocolate chip cookie recipe to try! I wonder why coconut oil would behave differently from other oils.
- 24
Thanks so much for being so generous with your delicious recipes. I really enjoy your site. BTW, I went to Trader Joes to get some coconut oil and they don't have it there! I'll have to try elsewhere, I was bummed though! In your recipe you said "softened coconut oil", does it come in sticks like butter? Anyways, thanks again!
- 25
Hope you can order some online Nikki.
I know Tracy, just what we all need, more cookies!
Kara, Garrick, Rylee,
I am shocked that Trader J. didn't carry it, sorry for suggesting it. I have since learned that Super Walmart and Target carry it, check there. It comes in a glass jar or plastic container in a solid form. I just place as much as I need in the microwave until it is just softened, not completely melted. Hope you can get a hold of some!
- 26
I got my coconut oil at whole foods. it is spectrum virgin organic coconut oil. on sale for $6.99 for a 14 oz jar (not sure what the regular price is). compare that to butter in price. too bad it is so expensive!
the cookies are great, Jenny and Kim!! thanks. they have crisp edges and chewy middles on the first day but then they soften overnight and are all chewy on the second day. I have to say that mine have a very prominent coconut flavor. you can definitely taste it and you definitely know what it is. but I love coconut, so that is fine with me. and my ultra-picky kindergartener loved the cookies even though she claims to hate nuts in her cookies (these were ground up so she didn't know they were there).
I wonder if different brands of coconut oils would produce minimal flavor as was the result for you.
oh, I didn't microwave my coconut oil to soften it… it took a while to cream it because I have a handmixer, not a stand mixer, but it did get creamed after about 7 minutes.
- 27
Thanks for the feedback on the cookies. It's always nice to hear how they turn out for others.
Interesting that you found yours to taste very much like coconut. I wonder if the type I got is just more mild.
I noticed the softening on the second day as well, I wish I had some leftover cookie dough today, they sound great right now and it's only 7am! Yikes!
Thanks again for spending the time to write about your batch!!
- 28
a little tip… if you don't plan to eat these all on the first day, yet still want the crisp edges, put the cookies in the freezer after they have cooled completely. when you thaw them out (the next day or farther down the road), they will still have the crisp edge. they are as good as they were on the first day.
(I know this works with most cookies. and I know it works with these because I just tried it.)
- 29
i have to try this recipe! gotta find some coconut oil first though…
- 30
I just started visiting your site. I can't wait to try some of these recipes. Just so you know – coconut oil may be better than butter but it's REALLY high in saturated fat…
Keep up the good work!
- 30.1
Saturated and monounsaturated fats are actually good for you, so it's alright 🙂
- 31
FYI: Just made the cookies and the ground nuts part must be essential because I just added mine chopped and the cookies turned out terrible! They spread out really thin, centers didn't set and they were pretty greasy. Just follow the directions, ground nuts must act as another binder/stabilizer.
I too had a prominent coconut taste which I was excited about.
I had just a bit of dough left and added more flour and they turned out as they should. So if you don't want ground nuts add more flour! They were very tasty!
- 32
Could you email me and let me know if you've ever taken out the ground pecans? My daughter is allergic. Also, if I made some (obviously not for her!) where do you get ground pecans, or do you just put them in the food processor? Thanks! [email protected]
- 33
You posted this recipes a long time ago, but I just stumbled across it. I found your site through the Hungry Housewife. I was wondering if you tried the Coconut oil in any of your brownie recipes? Do you know how much it cuts the fat and calories? I'm new to the blogging world, but your site will remain a Favorite. Great pictures and Recipes. Keep up the Good Work!!!
- 34
I finally made these today! My boys and I loved them… hubby wouldn't touch them cuz of the coconut oil. that's ok, more for the rest of us! thanks for sharing!
- 35
Agreed! Coconut oil is GREAT for baking as well as a million other uses. If you can't find it locally, order it online at http://www.hopesharvestcoconutoil.com/ . You may want to try Real Salt, too! http://www.realsalt.com I buy both products from the local retailer where I purchase wheat for home milling and other baking/cooking supplies. The owner is a biochemistry major and very well-versed on nutrition and wellness!
- 36
Thank you for this recipe! These cookies are great! They didn't flatten as did the Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies I made, replacing the butter with coconut oil. The ground nuts must be the trick to keeping them high. I used walnuts in place of the almonds.
- 37
I'm wondering if you've tried the recipe with less sugar? I don't like my cookies too sweet and am thinking about cutting at least half the sugar..just wanted to know if anyone else had tried it and liked the result.
- 38
It's good, it's useful (as usual), actionable and concise. Love it.
- 39
Thank you. One baby nibble would please me!

I followed your blog back when you posted this recipe–I was on a dairy-free diet while I nursed my baby. Now I'm introducing coconut oil for my health and went searching for this recipe.
I'm allergic to nuts, so I ground some rolled oats to use in place of the ground pecans. From Googling i looked like I could use any roughly ground grain. I was going to use about 2/3-3/4 cup Sunbutter, but worried about the chemistry or wet/dry proportions of the cookie.
Rolled oats work fine, but they taste like oatmeal cookies. Do you have any other suggestions? I'd rather have these cookies taste more like traditional chocolate chip cookies.
Thanks for the recipe!
- 41
Hi! I just googled Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies and you came up – great recipe. I did cut the Coconut oil in half and didn't use pecans…delish. I LOVE Coconut Oil! We saute everything in it – my husband has terrible cholesterol…so I have been using this oil for a while. You probably have too – since this was posted in 2008! Thanks so much! Taking them to a neighborhood party!
- 42
LOVE this recipe! It is so fall-like and rustic looking. You can t go wrong with apples and peanut butter

I have been baking, cooking and sauteing with virgin coconut oil for while now … I do it like you have said, but I add just a bit of natural applesauce like 70/30 mix between the apple sauce n oil with a squirt of honey to cut the applesauce flavor and it works great with baking and pancakes etc … if you want you can also use baby applesauce as it's just a finer texture 🙂 if you use your recipe and use EnerG egg re-placer it's Vegan 😉 and you can't tell !!! I use raw cane sugar and unbleached flour … (many other healthy flours will work also for you gluten free gals) thank you for your post it's GREAT!
- 47
Wow! These are amazing!!! They puffed up nicely and have great flavor! I used "white" whole wheat flour and even cut out 1/4 Cup of the regular sugar and they're still nice and sweet. I used dark chocolate chips, oh so yummy! I let the coconut oil and eggs get to room temp before I made the batter. I baked for 12 min. I might reduce the salt to 3/4 of a teaspoon next time but it doesn't really matter. They are SO GOOD! Thank you for posting! This will be my go to chocolate chip cookie recipe from now on!

[…] The second cookie recipe I experimented with was unusual in that no butter is used in the recipe. I also found this recipe on "Pinterest" and of course I pinned it immediately because chocolate chip cookies are my favorite dessert on the planet. I decided to try these cookies as the first cookie recipe didn't make a ton, and I wasn't really crazy about them. I knew that these cookies would have to be "worse" than the first recipe for me to disappointed, and by looking at the ingredients, I was pretty sure I'd like them. Well like them I did…YUM! They are delicious! Instead of butter, the recipe calls for one cup of virgin coconut oil. I always have organic virgin coconut oil in the pantry, but I'd never made cookies with it before, so I was eager to give it a try. These cookies are so great. Chewy and crispy and so yummy. If you are worried about them having an apparent "coconutty" flavor, worry no more. My family totally couldn't taste any coconut. What they did taste was an overwhelming deliciousness! These cookies did not last long. In fact, I made a second batch a few days later, as they were so good, and gone so fast! Here is the link to that recipe: https://picky-palate.com/2008/03/11/new-chocolate-chip-cookies-on-block/ […]

My husband gets an upset stomach and sometimes foul gas whenever he eats my homemade chocolate chip cookies, but he is just fine when he eats store bought cookies. I tried decreasing the amount of butter and he still felt sick afterwards–we all love the way they taste and no one else gets sick, but he has a more sensitive stomach than the rest of us due to a childhood illness. So I looked at the ingredients of Chips Ahoy cookies and there is NO butter in them! (Except for the cocoa butter in the actual chips.) They use PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL! YUCK! So then I got the idea to look for a recipe with coconut oil in it because I already have some anyway. I'm glad I found your website. I will try the recipe soon and let you know how he felt after eating some. I won't tell him what's in it so that he will be unbiased in his taste testing! And if it turns out that it's not the butter and he still feels bad, I wonder what else it could be? Butter is the only real difference I see between homemade and store bought cookies.
- 49.1
And we have success! My husband loved the cookies made with coconut oil and his stomach feels just fine! I guess the butter in most recipes makes the cookie too rich for him to digest properly. I'm going to save this recipe!
- 50
These are the best! I just started using coconut oil. I bought mine at wal mart the brand is "LouAna" pure coconut oil 31.5 oz. it was $5.98.
Thanks. Also noticed you added extra tsp of vanilla.
- 51
This recipe is awesome!!! My son has milk allergies and I tried this recipe (added some peanut butter too) and we love them! Thank you for sharing!!!!
- 52
Would it work to substitute golden flax seed meal for the ground pecans? I really try to avoid nuts as much as possible, as I am not nuts over nuts (I don't think they have been my friend) and the golden flax seed meal adds such nutrition.

These cookies are fantastic. My picky husband who often tells me he doesn't like things that taste healthy couldn't figure out what I did, but he loved them. My mother-in-law will often substitute pureed avocado for butter in cookie recipes and that works well too. Thanks for a great recipe!
- 55
