Probe Doesn't Find Fraud at BP Spill Claims Office
August 26th, 2013
by MICHAEL KUNZELMAN, Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The head of security for the administrator of BP's multibillion-dollar settlement with Gulf Coast residents and businesses says an internal probe of alleged misconduct by an employee of a Mobile, Ala., claims center hasn't turned up any evidence of fraud.
BP said it received a tip in July that someone who worked at the Mobile office helped people submit fraudulent claims in exchange for some of the settlement money.
But David Welker, a former FBI supervisor who now works for claims administrator Patrick Juneau, says in a letter last week that his investigation found no evidence of fraud in any of the claims handled by the employee.
BP cited the employee's alleged misconduct in its Aug. 5 request for a federal judge to temporarily suspend all settlement payments.

Let me start by saying I hate special editions for games…well, let me restate that. I hate useless special editions for games. It's sad when game developers attempt to suck another $30 out of your pocket for some 'collectible' cards and a new skin for your character. That being said, I fully endorse God of War: Ascension's collectors edition that has just been unveiled.
Amazon.com has just listed God of War: Ascension's collector's edition for pre-order for a mere $79.99. That's definitely a lot better than some of these $150 'super awesome radical extreme happy fun time' editions. The lower prices could also be due to the coming end of the current gen's console cycle as mentioned Deep Silver's Aubrey Norris earlier this month, while discussing the strangely low price of their next installment to the Dead Island franchise.
The major highlight of the collector's edition is undoubtedly the 'exclusive 8″ Kratos statue' that will most definitely protect my work space and be a constant reminder that, even in 8″ form, Kratos will always put my physique to shame. Awesome angry statues aren't your thing? It's okay, they still got you covered my friend. The collector's edition will also include:
- Premium Steelbook Case
- Digital Copy of Official Game Soundtrack
- PS3 Dynamic Theme (most likely will contain blood and nudity aplenty)
- PSN Avatar Pack
- Multiplayer Double XP Unlock
- Pass for Future DLC Content

New Jersey Solar Pioneer Signs Deal With Chinese Consortium to Take Its Solar Technology From Lab to Power Grid
RED BANK, N.J., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; OTC Pink Sheets: NTCXF) today announced that it has reached agreement with a consortium in China to form a joint venture company to develop and manufacture film-growth equipment and materials using Natcore's proprietary Liquid Phase Deposition (LPD) technology. The technology would be used in the production of solar cells.
Natcore has signed a letter of intent with the Zhuzhou Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone to form the new company, "Natcore China," with rights to manufacture anti-reflective (AR) film growth equipment and materials. Natcore China will be 55% owned by Natcore Technology, with the Hi-Tech Zone and its partners holding the remaining 45% ownership position.
Natcore's technology was developed at Rice University in Houston. LPD applies an AR coating in a room-temperature chemical bath, making the solar cells significantly cheaper and cleaner to produce. Existing technology uses a furnace and a vacuum to apply the coating to solar cells, requiring larger amounts of energy and expensive silicon to achieve the thickness needed to withstand the firing.
"This agreement is a major milestone in the growth of Natcore Technology," notes President and CEO Chuck Provini. "Not only does it fully fund our remaining R&D and production costs for AR film equipment, but it immediately plugs us into a network of end-users in China, which is the world's largest and fastest-growing producer of solar cells. In short, it helps move us out of the lab and closer to achieving our goal of making solar energy efficient enough to be affordable to the world."
Natcore China will be funded by an initial $3 million investment consisting of US$500,000 contributed by Natcore Technology, and US$2,500,000 contributed by the Chinese Partnership. Natcore China will have the exclusive right to develop, manufacture and sell solar cell AR film-growth equipment in China, and a three-year exclusive right to manufacture such equipment for sale outside of China. Natcore Technology and the Chinese Partnership have begun drafting a definitive agreement incorporating the principles reflected in the executed letter of intent. Completion of the agreements is subject to regulatory approval.
The Chinese Partnership will consist of the Zhuzhou Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone and two Chinese firms, including a major producer of polysilicon and a manufacturer of industrial equipment used in the solar industry. Natcore's partners project that the joint venture company will eventually create as many as 500 jobs in manufacturing and R&D.
Other key elements of the joint venture include:
- Operation in China as a local company, with all intellectual property protections accruing to such a position.
- A fast-track development program initiated upon signing of a definitive agreement, with a projected timeline of 10 months to first product shipments.
- Early integration of Natcore's LPD film-growth technology into existing solar cell production lines, in advance of final equipment development.
- The ability to fast-track revenues by accepting lead orders in China and throughout the world.
"We had always envisioned a joint venture operation in China as part of our long-term business plan, after we had completed development of our AR film growth equipment," notes Brien Lundin, Natcore's Chairman and co-founder. "But well before that could come to pass, we were approached by the Hi-Tech Zone with their offer to completely fund our AR film growth development program, and give us majority ownership in the joint venture."
"We will retain control, enjoy a ready-made solar cell customer network and open up new avenues for funding of potential future joint ventures," he adds. "It was an opportunity we couldn't refuse."
Under the agreement, Natcore China will complete the engineering and production of self-contained, self-replenishing film-growth equipment that will recycle the chemicals and water used in Natcore's LPD process. Until that is accomplished, however, the Chinese Partnership envisions the incorporation of the technology into existing solar cell manufacturing lines through manual replenishment of the chemical bath. In this way, Natcore China would be able to serve its first solar cell customers, which may include members of the Chinese Partnership, before final product development is completed.
One of the key advantages of the Natcore LPD process is its relatively low environmental impact. "Pollution control and toxicity are very big issues in China now," says Provini. "Our ability to not only reduce the cost of solar cell manufacturing, but to also do so in a much more environmentally friendly manner, is a very important benefit to our new partners and their customers."

About Natcore Technology Inc.
Natcore Technology is the exclusive licensee, from Rice University, of a thin-film growth technology enabling room-temperature growth of various silicon oxides on silicon wafers in a liquid phase deposition (LPD) process. Although the implications of this discovery for semiconductors and fiber optics are significant and wide-ranging, the technology has immediate and compelling applications in the solar sector. Specifically, Natcore's LPD process could enable silicon solar cell manufacturers to significantly reduce manufacturing costs and increase throughput, and has the potential to allow, for the first time, mass manufacturing of super-efficient (30%+) tandem solar cells with double the power output of today's most efficient devices.
Having been independently tested and verified by one of the world's most respected science and technology laboratories, Natcore's technology is now in the process of being commercialized. Our goal: to make stand-alone solar energy competitive with conventional power generation.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("the U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

In Venoco, Inc. v. Gulf Underwriters Ins. Co., 2009 WL 1875640 (July 1, 2009), the Second District Court of Appeal affirmed a summary judgment entered in favor of Gulf Underwriters Insurance Company ("Gulf") with regard to Venoco's suit brought against Gulf for indemnification and a defense for lawsuits filed against it by former students and employees of Beverly Hills High School for personal injuries allegedly arising out of exposure to toxic pollution from Venoco's oil and gas operations performed adjacent to the high school campus.
Gulf asserted that Venoco's claim for a defense under the policy was not covered by virtue of an exclusion for instances of toxic pollution. However, an exception to the exclusion, a "buy-back" provision, provided that if Venoco notified Gulf of an occurrence within sixty (60) days of such occurrence, the toxic pollution exclusion would not apply so as to preclude coverage.

Fabric Sunglasses Case
By: Lelanie Denso for To Sew With Love
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
The summer is a great time for free easy sewing projects...and what better way to get your summer crafting started than with this Fabric Sunglasses Case from Lelanie Denso? You'll be sporting styling sunglasses even when you're not wearing them!
- Fabric (for inside and outside)
- Iron-on interfacing
- Lace
- Faux pearl bead
- Scissors
- Sewing machine and supplies
- First and foremost, iron-on your interfacing on the wrong side of all of your fabric.
- Take a round item (I used a roll of packaging tape) and trace onto one of the edges of your fabric pieces.
- Following your traced round edge and cut it carefully with a pair of scissors.
- Get your outer fabric and sew on the lace.
- With the remaining lace, you can create a flower by creating pleats and had handsewing it on the fabric and adding a faux pearl bead on top.
- Place your fabrics right sides together (so the interfaced sides will be facing you). Sew them together with straight stitches leaving an area unsewn (2") so you can turn your piece later.
- Cut the tip of the these edges.
- Clip the rounded edges.
- Carefully, turn it inside out.
- Mark until where you would be sewing it close.
- Topstitch the top of your sleeve (with the rounded sides) but only until 1" after the blue mark.
- Fold in half, inner fabric facing you, and sew two straight stitches with backtracks only to close the side.
- Lift your foot with the needle down and turn your fabric until your fabric's side is parallel to the length of your presser foot.
- Sew all the way down.
- And the bottom.
- Turn it inside out and you now have your sunglasses or eyeglasses sleeve!

PORTLAND - Weeks of cold weather have drained emergency clothing supplies from Portland homeless shelters.
Arturo Cabrales Jr. is spending his 13th winter living on the chilly streets. He wears four layers of clothes and wishes he had more.
(It's) very, very cold, he said. Yeah we need more clothing more shoes and stuff like that, said Cabrales Jr.
Your face gets so numb where you're just like, 'okay, well it s there at least I know that,' but literally, you can t feel it, Jessie Love said.
Mark Saffer said he and a roommate lost their home 10 days ago. The streets have not been kind at night.
Night before last, I was sitting out here and ended up with hypothermia. If it wasn t for some kids covering me up, I probably would be dead, said Saffer.
Inside the Union Gospel Mission, a peek inside the emergency clothing room reveals few winter clothes.
Fairly empty, a few sweaters, a few heavier coats but we can always use heavier coats, said spokesman Stacy Kean.
Last year, the mission gave out 2,000 jackets, 6,000 pair of socks and 2,000 blankets.
With the winter chill, they need more donations.
Not far away, at the Portland Rescue Mission,the drain on emergency clothing is clear. It's going out the door every frigid day.
We're not used to seeing temperatures this low for weeks on end, so we're getting rid of them really quickly, said spokesman Brian Merrill.
The icy weather hits many hard including 50-year-old Ron Sedillo. He and many other homeless are looking for anyway to get out of the cold.
It s been miserable. It s getting really, really cold out now, Sedillo said.
If you'd like to donate, you can simply take warm clothes to your favorite shelter and drop them off.

Despite advances in the games graphics, and a few extra tracks, we feel a little underwhelmed its just too similar to its predecessor. Dont get us wrong, MotoGP 2 is a fine racer, but it could have been so much more of a dream machine.
There are a few more tracks, unlockable highlights videos, improved graphics, and better crash visuals, but Moto GP 2 is in most respects the very same game as "Moto GP."
If the developer had spent more time refining the control scheme and graphics to make better use of PC hardware and had added more functionality to the game's menus and multiplayer options, the PC version of MotoGP 2 could have been as good as the Xbox version.

Jake Odorizzi's self-confidence pays off with another strong June start
JUN 21, 2014 10:02p ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Jake Odorizzi looked far from a sure thing early this season, when the young right-hander struggled through April and parts of May. He looked less confident than he had when he won the Tampa Bay Rays' fifth-starter job in spring training. He looked timid through his second and third encounters with an opponent's lineup. He looked overmatched.
The baseball season is a study in progression for some and regression for others, both on the mound and off it. Odorizzi's latest start Saturday, a masterful one-hit, 10-strikeout, 7 1/3-inning effort in the Tampa Bay Rays' 8-0 victory over the Houston Astros at Tropicana Field, served as the latest telltale sign that he has enjoyed a pleasing ascent.
His season's opening starts, often filled with predictable agony by the middle innings, are behind him. This is who he knew he could become.
"I never had any less confidence in myself at all while that was going on," Odorizzi said.
This latest appearance mirrored his demeanor: Smooth, no frills, effortless. Observing Odorizzi speak and work, it becomes clear that he's the anti-Grant Balfour, the Rays' impassioned reliever and former closer.
If Balfour is heavy metal, then Odorizzi is smooth jazz. The young pitcher is best when he's methodical.
Such a smooth performance, like the one seen Saturday against baffled Astros hitters, didn't always seem possible for him.
Remember the seven runs and 10 hits allowed in five innings during a loss to the Kansas City Royals on April 9? What about the four runs and eight hits allowed in 4 1/3 innings during a loss to the Chicago White Sox on April 28? Or the five runs and six hits allowed in 3 1/3 innings during a loss to the Boston Red Sox on May 31?
Those eyesores appeared more like Odorizzi's ceiling for this season: He was a project who would see better days once he gained maturity, possibility after another trip to Triple-A Durham following right-hander Jeremy Hellickson's return from arthroscopic surgery on his throwing elbow. Odorizzi was serviceable for now. His effectiveness left room for debate.
But Odorizzi, by his own work, has changed the discussion about him this month. Even if Hellickson returns in playable shape sometime in the coming weeks -- that remains a question at best -- it should be a forgone conclusion that Odorizzi will remain in the Rays' rotation.
He's still a work in progress, but he has become less question and more answer in his latest three starts since June 10. The results in appearances against the St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles and Astros: Three runs and seven hits allowed with 20 strikeouts in 20 innings.
"It's a young guy trying to figure things out with good stuff," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Now he's trying to figure it out, and he's trusting it, and then you're seeing the results. That's it. You've got to be patient sometimes. And patience can be rewarded. He's going to keep getting better. I mean, I really believe that -- as he understands everything that he's doing out there. There are still times that he'll fight himself a little bit, and I see that."
That part of Odorizzi's growth should be expected. The native of Highland, Illinois, is just 24 years old. He has 24 appearances (21 starts) in the majors. The refinement will come with age. The maturity will arrive with time.
However those elements come, the Rays should want them to be as strong as possible for Odorizzi. In all likelihood, left-hander David Price's days with Tampa Bay are numbered. Either later this season or after it, there could be a transition into a post-Price reality for the Rays' rotation.
Likely, Odorizzi will command a valuable role after the change. He should represent a promising young arm, along with right-hander Chris Archer, to slide into the middle part of the rotation behind a stalwart like right-hander Alex Cobb and a former All-Star like left-hander Matt Moore, who's recovering from Tommy John surgery.
That's a discussion for another day, though. Odorizzi's concentration should be centered on learning how far he can push himself at this level. His journey, in that way, remains in motion.
"I think that you can tell that he's got great stuff," Rays designated hitter Matt Joyce said. "He just really has to trust and believe it and keep to what works. Maybe the second and third time through the lineup, maybe give them a different look and mix in his other pitches and really the biggest thing is throwing that off-speed for strikes. Because once you get ahead with the off-speed the second and third time through, it makes it a lot tougher for a hitter."
Odorizzi understands this. He seems aware and reflective of his place within the Rays at this time. He knows what was seen Saturday is more a true reflection of his ability, not the April and early May messes that led to questions about him.
He had strong command of his fastball that earned repeated praise from Maddon. He was under control.
All that separated Saturday's performance from a possible no-hitter was a fourth-inning infield single from Jose Altuve that hit the bottom of Odorizzi's right cleat. Odorizzi always knew such a showing was inside him.
"I knew I was capable of doing this type of stuff," said Odorizzi, who's 3-7 with a 4.29 ERA in 15 starts this season. "I never lost faith in myself and just waited out the storm and finally have. And it has been a lot better since."
Life on the mound in June has been better for him since he lived those early season letdowns. He has grown faster than some thought possible, showing that self-confidence can lead to brighter days after some of the darkest.

Re: ST: Shaping a Cardassian - "Strength Without Sacrifice is Useless"
I like how you described the people that a Betazoid reads in detail without consent as
. That's what I've always thought, especially about how the creepy Trois. Yeah, both Lwaxana
Deanna were creepy.
One question, though. How much is a Betazoid, in your universe, unable to control, and how much is a deliberate probe? At least in mine, there are certain things that my Betazoids are unable to help sensing.
I like how Captain Ram doesn't
probe people without asking. (I wonder, though...under what circumstances would she feel the situation is appropriate to ask?)
I wonder how Zamarran would feel if he found out that this Betazoid believes in asking permission?
I loved the scene where they found all that chaos in the wardroom! Do you think that some of these scientists have weaker hierarchical instincts? (Kind of like my Iymender, who actually has a diagnosable issue, by Cardassian standards.)
I'm coming to like Ensign Tibaut...a little bit. But a duck-blind scientist is not high up on my totem pole of people to consider deserving of my liking them. At least she was able to see that these Cardassians weren't scaled monsters.
I hope Golek won't decide it's in his best interest to freeze the Cardassians.
I hope he'll at least have the decency to go get them some blankets.
For Kapoor, losing her temper at her father-in-law...I understand how she felt, but I think it would be right if she would simply tell Tavor what happened but without any encouragement one way or the other. Just...here it is; it's your decision.

Lindsay Lohan's relapse confession is being lauded, remarkably, as "honest," at least according to her dad.
The perpetually rehabbed Lohan, 27, revealed that she broke her sobriety by boozing it up during Sunday night's controversial episode of her OWN docu-series.
"Yeah, f*ck it, I screwed up," the Mean Girls star said, placing the blame on her booze snafu on a new relationship. "The person I was seeing does drink and I had a glass of wine. That was it but I just had so much guilt and it's okay to admit it."
PHOTOS: Hall Of Shame: The Lohan Family Mugshot Album
"Part of sobriety is honesty," Michael Lohan, Lindsay's 53-year-old father told Radar in an exclusive interview.
"If you can't be honest you can't move forward."
PHOTOS: How Lo Can She Go? Lindsay Lohan's 25 Most Outrageous Secrets & Scandals
As Radar has reported, Lindsay's much-hyped warts-and-all reality show has seen her telling lies about her headline making life, but this time, her father insisted, she is being truthful!
Michael said, "I'm really proud of Lindsay for being honest. Part of addiction is you stumble and as long as you pick yourself up you can move on."

In another move that shocked viewers, the troubled starlet also severed ties with her life coach, A.J. Johnson, which Michael described as a loss.
"A sober coach is not only important, it is necessary," he said. "Especially when Lindsay has so many negative influences in her life."

One thing is for certain: Lohan's sobriety journey is likely to continue to take center stage on the show, where she caused havoc with personal assistant Matt Harrell again.

Mark Block here, and I'm going to awkwardly blow smoke at the camera while the "I am America" music kicks in.
Huh? I don't get it. Oh wait:
From 1996, when he left the pizza company, until 1999, Mr. Cain ran the National Restaurant Association, a once-sleepy trade group that he transformed into a lobbying powerhouse. He allied himself closely with cigarette makers fighting restaurant smoking bans, spoke out against lowering blood-alcohol limits as a way to prevent drunken driving, fought an increase in the minimum wage and opposed a patients' bill of rights — all in keeping with the interests of the industry he represented.
I thought he looked familiar.
Smoking Man bio here.
The 2010 vote-caging scheme hardly marks Block's first game of dirty politics. In fact, his first day at Americans for Prosperity marked the expiration of a four-year ban on political campaign involvement imposed on him by a Wisconsin court for his illegal activity in a 2001 election.
The even creepier thing about
The even creepier thing about that ad is Cain's mocking smile at the end. He knows he's a joke. He knows you know he's a joke. His whole campaign is a joke.
(No subject)
Speaking of shadowy figures
Nice background too.
We run a campaign like no
We run a campaign like no one's ever seen ... because we're not really trying to get elected, and we spent $15 on this ad.
I thought "awkwardly blowing
I thought "awkwardly blowing smoke" was going to be a literal thing and we were going to see some more gems like this old reliable one from Mike Gravel.
Well, that's obviously a
Well, that's obviously a metaphor for the ripple of truth... or something. Block is literally blowing smoke at the camera, quite possibly within 50 feet of a hospital entrance. If that's a metaphor for anything, my best guess is this:
Maybe it appeals to the same voters that supported Curry Todd. I don't know.
Oh, nothing like a good laugh in the morning.
So you we shouldn't vote for
So you we shouldn't vote for someone who smokes?
I don't know if Herman Cain
I don't know if Herman Cain smokes or not. The shadowy figure lurking in the corner in the campaign ad isn't the one running.
That was really inspiring. In fact, I'm going to go right out and write a check...to Jon Huntsman's campaign.
In other bizarre campaign ad
In other bizarre campaign ad news, Fear the Mustache. Or don't.
Block responds The target
The target audience for the ad is apparently people sitting in bars smoking. Block said, "I tell you, you walk into a veteran's bar in Iowa and they're sitting around smoking and you know we are resonating with them. I'm not the only one that smokes in America for God's sake. It was a choice I made and it was at the end of the ad. The real message that we're trying to get through was the Cain train is on a roll."
If the Tea Party is your country
...a veteran's bar in Iowa and they're sitting around smoking...
So that's their demographic. Now it all makes perfect sense.
Oh yeah? Figure out what this

Letters to the Editor
Although I'm convinced you selected BBSs for your list because they represented the best physical distribution, I am also honored and delighted in seeing the Part-Time BBS in the first column! Thank you!
The column also prompted me to update the files on the system—I figured if you were so kind with your words, I had better at least respond with some kind of positive action. So the Slackware 2.1.0 distribution is now on-line and available for download.
In spite of the name, Part-Time BBS is available 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week, and since I've become interested in Linux, it has been extended to be a repository for Slackware. I am also (if I can ever find the time) exploring ways to actually convert what is already on the BBS (there's a lot more than just Linux) to a BBS running under Linux.
Thanks again!

Dear Sir,
Vince Skahan's review of the book Making TeX Work [December, 1994, Issue 8] was very unfair. He clearly does not like either TeX or emacs and so it is not surprising that most of his comments are negative. He seemed not to be sure for whom the book is intended. Well, I can tell you that; it is intended for people like me. I have The TeXbook and I have done quite a bit of document writing (I have even set tables with \halign, wow!) but I have gotten to the stage where I need more information about the tools that surround TeX and how they fit together. This book is just what I need.
Vince was "hoping they'd pick an editor (even [ugh...] emacs) and give some real details regarding how to hook in and use [it] to efficiently write TeX documents" but the book explains about the tex and AUC-TEX modes in emacs and how to implement the edit-run-edit cycle within emacs. What more does he want? The font chapter contains "more than any sane person would want to know about font selection and generation". Vince may not be interested in fonts but lots of people are. I have recently gotten involved with dvi drivers and I am very much interested in font selection and generation.
He ends by recommending to your readers that they save their pennies, learn SGML and get the rest of what they want off the net. I suppose you can get everything off the net if you spend long enough searching but, like most of your readers, I don't have time to waste and I am happy to spend $30 for Norman Walsh to put the hours in on my behalf and collect the results into a book. Why else would your reviewer have 19 O'Reilly books on his shelf? This was a shabby review and you chose the wrong person to do it.
Yours, etc.

Dear Sirs,
As a user and fan of Linux, an admirer of Richard Stallman, and also as an employee of Wolfram Research, Inc., it distressed me greatly to read a comment about Mathematica that Richard Stallman wrote in a news group. A fellow employee responded to it and has given me permission to forward his response to you.
—Philip J. Wall, email@example.com
The original comment and its response follows:
In article email@example.com, email@example.com (Richard Stallman) wrote:
Reportedly Wolfram Research has decided not to support Mathematica on GNU/Linux systems, because users would be able to change the kernel to work around certain deliberately inserted bugs designed to make Mathematica crash in some circumstances....
There is no truth to the suggestion that Wolfram Research has made any decision not to support Mathematica on GNU/Linux systems. In particular the idea that there are any "deliberately inserted bugs designed to make Mathematica crash in some circumstances" is complete nonsense. Mr. Stallman should probably check his information before posting.
Wolfram Research is in fact in the process of testing a version of Mathematica for Linux. If everything goes according to plan it will be shipping by the second quarter of this year.
For further information about availability of Mathematica for Linix, contact Wolfram Research at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I hope this clarifies things.

Sometimes the acronym-K.I.S.S., Keep It Simple Stupid really works. I cook one meal a month for a homeless teen shelter. This recipe is perfect for elevating something simple to something delightful for persons who are truly grateful for a meal. Lighten up haters!
I agree that this recipe is waaaay too simple to even be on epicurious, much less be featured. But, it's possible to make it more involved and gourmet. Why not make the ice cream and the chocolate cookies for the crust? Just for presentation's sake.
Store bought ice cream in a store bought crust with canned whipped cream....really?! I think this lame recipe can be found on pie crust's label. Why not just post how to make boxed mac and cheese while your at it. Is Sandra Lee now working here? I expected much more from Epicurious, especially for a featured recipe.
I think the name is misleading, if the only chocolate is the crust. I would add chocolate chunks or chips into the ice cream, and top with a few pieces as well. This recipe would also be great using other ingredients, flavors, fruits (but don't forget the chocolate!) : D
Sorry, but I agree with kongstuffer; this isn't even a recipe in my opinion. (My baker daughter agrees by the way.) Really, why bother? Just put some ice cream in a bowl and top with whipped cream and crushed cookies. I agree with Carolinagirl's suggestion as a "fix".
Seriously? I'm w/kongsuffer. Why not just eat ice cream? No waiting required :-)
Yes, kongstuffer, you're being too critical. This looks like an easy, tasty, refreshing summer dessert. Not every recipe needs to have a long list of ingredients and a lot of steps. It's not "recipe of the week"; it's just today's featured recipe.
Talk about scraping the bottom for a recipe Epicurious! This recipe is seriously weak!!! Am I just being too critical or does anybody else think this recipe does not merit a spot on the "recipe of the week"?
Extremely simple recipe especially for hot summer days. Just a suggestion: Soften ice cream just until it can be stirred. Fold extra coarsely chopped fresh strawberries into ice cream a few blueberries and/or raspberries wouldnt hurt, either. Proceed with recipe. Put extra whatever berries you have mixed into the ice cream (Strawberries/Blueberries/Raspberries) and continue with theme to top pie. Following just the basics of this 'recipe', the varieties are endless.

And thanks for all the kind words - there's been a lot of hard work on this build so far by a lot of people who really appreciate the praise but nobody is as grateful as I am to them all.
Just a quick update for today;
Got the Dakota Digital Odyssey Series II gauge in from http://www.openroadtuning.com along with 5 pressure senders. Since they'll be visible we decided to polish them up.
this build keeps getting better and better.

A cyclist has died following a collision with a lorry on London cycle superhighway 2
The victim, in his sixties, was hit by and dragged underneath the lorry in Mile End Road, east London, on the afternoon of Tuesday 5 November.
The crash occurred at the junction with Bancroft Road outside Queen Mary University's engineering building.
The cyclist died at the scene.
He is the capital's ninth cycling fatality this year and the seventh killed involving a lorry. He is also the fourth in two years to have died after being hit on the same stretch of road, the Evening Standard reports. He is the third cyclist to die on cycle superhighway 2 (CS2).
Svitlana Tereschenko, 34, was killed at the nearby Bow roundabout in November 2011 while trying to reach the start of a cycle superhighway and 20-year-old Philippine De Gerin-Ricard was also killed while on or near the same cycle superhighway 2, running between Bow and Aldgate, in July this year.
The fatality will once again raise questions over the Mayor's insistence that blue superhighway cycle lanes are the way forward, as witnesses said the victim had been in the blue zone.
Witness Motiur Khan, 22, said: "The lorry was behind the cyclist and sort of went into the back of him and then I don't really know if he lost control or something, but he hit the cyclist who went under the lorry which just ran over and crushed him."
The driver stopped further down the road after the incident at about 4.40pm and will be questioned under caution by officers. He has not been arrested.
The cyclist has been named as 62 year old Brian Holt.
The driver of the tipper truck involved in Brian Holt's death has been charged with causing death by careless driving.
Driver, Anthony Howsego, 57, from Romford, will appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court on November 14th.
The lorry driver is the only motorist to have been charged in connection with those six deaths 12 months ago. Coroner's inquests have already been concluded in four of the cases, with no charges brought.
While no date has yet been set for the inquest into the death of Richard Muzira, the Standard reports that the driver of the lorry involved in that incident will not be charged.
All of those fatalities involved large vehicles. Besides Mr Holt and Mr Muzira, a third victim, Venera Minakhmetova, was killed in a collision with a lorry.
Frances Goulding died when he was struck by a coach, while buses were involved in the crashes that claimed the lives of Khalid al-Hashimi and 21; and Roger de Klerk.
Mr Holt, aged 62, worked at Mile End Hospital and was travelling to work there when he was struck by the lorry, which was carrying waste from the Crossrail site at Liverpool Street Station.
The truck was being used on the Crossrail project. Crossrail is one of the biggest engineering projects in the capital's history, and at its peak will see 50 truck movements a day to take waste away from just one of its 40 sites in London, at Charing Cross.
In February 2012, Crossrail said that lorries not fitted with safety features to protect cyclists such as sensors, Frexnel lenses and sideguards, would be banned from its sites in the city.
But two months prior to Mr Holt's death,another lorry working on the project was involved in a crash that killed a cyclist in September 2013.
Nursing assistant Maria Karsa, aged 21, was killed at Aldgate as she headed to work a shift at the Royal London Hospital, part of Barts Health NHS Trust, Barts Health, which also runs the hospital Mr Holt worked at.
It emerged earlier this year that two of the three sensors on the lorry concerned – required for it to access the Crossrail site – were not working. However, the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to bring charges.

Almond Butter, Dark Chocolate & Coconut Cookies

Author Notes: These cookies bake up gorgeously, with a crackled top and chewy interior. They are delicious as is or with a handful of dried cherries stirred in with the chocolate and coconut. - Sarah | strawberryplum
Food52 Review: Wow. These cookies were a revelation in subtle taste experience. Having never baked with almond butter before, I was not prepared for the quiet sophistication of the flavor and texture it provided. The coconut was also very subtle, yet added a crunch and flavor note that was very pleasing. The cookies were wonderful just out of the oven and, in the name of testing, some actually made it to the next day where their deliciousness was proved once again. We will be making these over and over -- I can already think of all kinds of additions and variations I want to try. - lmikkel
Makes 2 dozen cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup whole almonds, coarsely chopped
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (or 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips)
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter, almond butter, and sugars until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, then beat until well incorporated. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the creamed butters and sugars and mix on a low speed until just combined. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
- Make 1-inch balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons) and place on prepared baking sheets. These are pretty big cookies -- don't crowd them. I baked just 6 per pan. Bake until lightly golden around the edges but still quite soft in the center, 12 to 14 minutes. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Serve with ice cold milk.

Can I substitute whole wheat flour instead of white flour?
2 months ago Nancy Charlton
I tried subbing almond butter for peanut and almonds for peanuts in a recipe some time ago, and it was a fiasco. I'm eager to try this. I'd like to take them to a vegetarian potluck. Would it work to sub coconut oil or Nutiva shortening for the butter? I love the sound of this recipe and will try it soon.
3 months ago Josie Marsh
Very good. I subbed out 1 cup of the flour for a light whole wheat flour and they are great.
3 months ago Josie Marsh
And added 1/2 t of baking powder.
7 months ago jen_bellenger
This recipe sounded so good that I had to make it, but some of the comments concerned me. I ended up following the directions except pressed the dough down with a fork and chilled before baking. I also was able to fit nine cookies on the sheet without a problem. They came out perfectly when I baked for 12 min.
9 months ago Cathy Conried
Followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't brown up like the picture. plus the choc chips didn't melt. They look dry.
9 months ago Paige H
I substituted a quarter cup of the white sugar for an extra quarter cup of brown sugar and switched the baking soda for powder. They didn't really spread (as I expected), but the exteriors were crispy and the interiors super soft. Definitely making again!
10 months ago Josie Marsh
These are great. I subbed walnuts for the whole almonds.
about 1 year ago [email protected]
Followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect ! Remember almond butter is the new peanut butter. My mother would have used sweetened peanut butter back in the day.
These were just the right level of sweet when made with natural almond butter. I flattened the balls of dough with a fork before baking. I will definitely make again.

Could I substitute Smart Balance for the butter? I am allergic to milk :(
about 1 year ago Sarah | strawberryplum
I'm afraid I've never used smart balance so I really don't know if it's an even substitute when baking. If you try it, I hope you'll let us know how it works out.

I will let you know. I use the Organic Smart Balance for other things, but have not baked with it, yet.

Made the standard 3 ingredient gluten free almond butter cookies added the coconut, and chunk chopped 72% Dark. All gone, none left!

Very tasty, but mine didn't spread much at all either, and I ended up flattening the second batch. I also found them a bit on the dry side, and I made no substitutions at all. I used Trader Joe's natural almond butter.

I used toasted almonds and served them to guests. My husband who does not eat sweets loved them, so did everyone else. Thank you.
I also froze them and baked them the next day as needed.

Which state of almonds do you use...raw, roasted, dry roasted, or something else?
almost 2 years ago Sarah | strawberryplum
I used raw almonds, but I think roasted would be excellent as well.
almost 2 years ago Arathi
Do you think it would be OK to leave out the coconut? I'm not a fan of coconut in cookies (or generally in desserts) but everything else about this recipe sounds SO delicious. Is there something else I could sub in, or just leave it out entirely?
almost 2 years ago Sarah | strawberryplum
I think you could leave it out completely or you could try adding a little oatmeal instead or stirring in some dried fruit if you want something more.

Saved to my must-try-soon collection. What a great idea, using big chunks of almond. ;o)

I made these this morning. They are SO delicious--I actually had to give away half the batch. I was worried I'd consume them all before anyone could stop me.

I can certainly see how that would be a serious risk, which is why I won't be making these until my son returns later this month, or we have company -- whichever comes first!! ;o)

Oops, typing on iPad. This cookie is not too sweet - I meant to say.
about 2 years ago mstv
I made these using a natural almond butter. They did not spread as much as the picture. Next time I would flatten them a bit before baking. I baked for 14 minutes since they looked very wet at 12. I think I would pull them out at 12 minutes next time even if they look wet, they were drier than I expected but still chewy and very tasty even a few days later. This cookie is not to sweet, very tasty, and keeps well.
about 2 years ago Sarah | strawberryplum
Anna--sorry the cookies didn't work out for you. I've never baked with coconut oil...perhaps it's not a direct substitute for butter?
about 2 years ago AnnaChris
I jumped to make this recipe when I saw it - what a perfect combination of flavors! Unfortunately, something went awry and I don't think they came out as they were supposed to. The flavors are pronounced and delicious, but the batter was extremely dry and once baked the consistency of the cookie was more "pecan sandy" than "crackled top/chewy interior." I had to flatten the cookies with a fork before baking them as they did not spread out on their own.
I did modify the recipe slightly by subbing in organic virgin coconut oil for about a 1/3 of the butter, thinking that it would highlight the flavors of the cookie even more, but I don't see how that could have resulted in such a dry dough. Everything else was the same as the recipe - what am I missing?
almost 2 years ago Hilarybee
Anna, I think the sub of coconut oil was the contributing factor. Coconut Oil is 100% fat--it doesn't have milk solids and water that butter contains. The cookie already has a lot of protein and fat from the almond butter. Serious tweaking would be involved to sub out traditional dairy butter for coconut oil, given the almond butter involved. If I were subbing, I'd be inclined to diminish the almond butter in favor of the coconut.
But I like the recipe as is, personally. The cookies turned out lovely for me.
