    Man says he shot, killed robber after escaping from car

    Police investigate the scene of fatal shooting that occurred Tuesday night after a man says he was grabbed off the street by robbers. (WGN-TV)

    A South Side man says he grabbed a gun from robbers who snatched him off the street and he killed one of them when firing off what he meant to be a warning shot.
    "I'm walking to the store minding my own business and a car full of juveniles pull their car to the side," said the 31-year-old man, who asked not to be identified. "A guy gets out pointing a gun at me to get in the car and says we're going to the ATM. There's a bunch of people in there--I'm not going to argue."
    Chicago police said they have corroborated details of the man's account with witnesses. One police official said the man won't face any charges. He said he told the man, "You're either lucky or you're crazy."

    The incident happened just after 11 p.m. Tuesday near 47th Street and Martin Luther King Drive in the Bronzeville neighborhood.
    The victim said he was ordered into the front seat of the car with the driver while the others sat in the back.
    "So we're circling the block. They're talking about going back to my house, getting my flat screen. . .I'm thinking this must be a dream, nothing like this has ever happened to me. I work a 9-to-5 job at an insurance company. I just want to come home and live my life," he said.
    He said the robbers drove him to Maggie's Gyros at 349 E. 47th Street, where two of them went in with his wallet, ATM card and PIN. "I had to give them my PIN number because the driver told me if I was lying, they'd shoot me. And I believed them," he said.
    "We drove around the block, and then a third guy wants to know if I have a checking account or a savings account. So after I tell him, he gets out at the restaurant. So it's me, the person in the back, and the driver who has a .38 pointed at me the whole time, even while he's driving," the victim said.
    The car pulled into an alley near 47th and King. Halfway down, a woman in the back seat told the driver to toss her the gun because she didn't want police to see it, he said.
    "All of a sudden, by the grace of God, between these two fools, I hear boom, and then I hear her hollering and screaming, 'I shot my finger off, I shot it off.' The driver starts panicking and he goes right into a Dumpster," the victim continued.
    "That's when I knew it was my moment. But me and the driver are strapped in tight by these automatic seatbelts, and that makes it harder."
    "My adrenaline was pumping. I reach over the seat and go to get the gun. I got the driver kicking at me, and I'm fighting for the gun with the woman. One arm is fending off his kicks, the other is trying to get this gun. I finally get it and point it at the driver, about six inches away from his abdomen. I pulled the trigger and nothing happened.
    "So I'm thinking, oh man, I have to get out of here."
    He said he rolled out of the car and started running down the alley. The woman got out and chased him.
    "I don't know if she's gonna kill me or not, so I fire a warning shot," the man said. "Unfortunately it hit her. I never fired a gun in my life."
    The man, still holding the gun, said he then ran toward the gyros shop and started yelling that he needed a policeman.
    "I'm waving this gun around because I talk with my hands," he explained. "Well, all these people in the restaurant think I'm the bad guy and start ducking under their tables and screaming. So I gotta run out of there."
    He spotted a CTA truck on the street and "pleaded with the workers inside to call police."
    "They believed me. But they said, 'You better get the hell out of here. You're saying one thing, but your gun is saying another,'" he said.
    The man said he ran down the street to the store where he had been headed to buy some snacks, but it was closed. At that moment, he saw a patrol car and waved it down.
    "I put my hands on the hood, told them I had a gun in my pocket, and that (some) men tried to rob me. So they came out, cuffed me, took me back to the station so I could tell my story."
    The man said he feels badly the woman died, saying he only meant to warn her. "But my blood was pumping so fast and my adrenaline. . ."
    "I'm with my grandmother right now and she's shaken," the man said this morning. "So I'm calling in sick and taking care of her. Those few minutes felt like forever. I'm glad it's over, I just want my life to be normal."
    The man said the only injury he suffered is a welt under his left eye. The robbers got his wallet and $12, he added.
    Andrew Holmes, who works for the city of Chicago, said he was parking in a truck outside the gyros restaurant, grabbing lunch with two other workers, when he heard gunfire Tuesday night.

    "Then we looked up a second later (and) the guy was running out of the alley with a gun. He was yelling, 'I just been robbed, please call the police.' "

    Holmes said he got on his phone while the man went inside the restaurant, still holding the gun. "People started ducking. Then he left. . .I call 911 again and told them his description, what pocket his gun was in, and what direction he was heading."

    Holmes said he followed the man to a CTA station "and all of the sudden he was walking back to the shooting scene. I told the dispatcher he was coming back. . .and told him to tell the cops I saw him there. I told them I thought there was a body in the alley. I saw the cops stop him, told him to put his hands in the air and took the revolver out of his pocket."

    Police said they plan to view several surveillance cameras in the area, including one at the restaurant. They said the suspects -- who are still at large -- face robbery and possible murder charges in connection with the woman's death.
    The woman was identified through fingerprints as Barbara McComb, 21, of the 4200 block of South Calumet. She had been taken in critical condition to Stroger Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 12:29 a.m. today.

      That story normally would have a different ending. Sad about the young girl losing her life.

      Just another Day in Northwest, Washington DC.....

      Veteran police detective draws his gun after being hit by a snowball

        Re: just another day on the south side of Chicago

        Only a moron would bring a gun to a snowball fight. That is one unstable dude who shouldn't be allowed to carry a gun. If the union is backing him up then they also are a bunch of morons.

        Now that girl in Chicago, she got what she deserved.

Digital signing became a major concern in the late 90’s. With the rapid advancement of technology, businesses often found it easier to sign documents using digital means rather than utilizing traditional faxes or mailed documents. The issue was that technology was so new that there were no legal safeguards when an eSignature was made.

Get started Browse Our Legal Forms Answer a few questions. We'll take care of the rest.

Now, people eSign documents all the time and it has become a standard in many businesses. The speed in which contracts can be made is extremely beneficial and there is little overhead seen in comparison to fax machines or older technology.

The Adoption of Digital Signing

Laws pertaining to when you could use an eSignature were first introduced in 1999 under the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Following this act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, also known as ESIGN, was put into law. These acts spurred numerous laws across the world that legalized eSignatures.

These two acts establish that an electronic signature can’t be deemed invalid because it’s in electronic form. Instead, electronic signatures are given the same effect as handwritten signatures within the United States.

Countries That Accept Digital Signing

There are many countries that have adopted their own laws in regards to electronic signing of documents. This allows documents signed electronically within their respective countries to be enforceable by law.

When you eSign a document, you must ensure that the other party is within a country that has laws in place that allow digital signing.

The following countries have introduced their own respective laws regarding electronic signatures:

  • United Kingdom: The UK Electronic Communication Act was introduced within the UK in 2000 and allows for the same protection as the two acts enacted by the United States.
  • European Union: Thirty of the countries that make up the European Union have adopted what is called European Directive 1999/93/EC.
  • Canada: Using a “secure electronic signature” within Canada allows for a safe means of signing a document, but the signature must be secure as stated within PIPEDA.
  • China: The Electronic Signature Law of the People’s Republic of China standardizes the use of electronic signatures in the country.
  • Russia: Introduced in 2002, Russia allows digital signatures and recognizes them by law.

Most countries have enacted legislation that allows digital signing within their country. There are some countries that do not allow for documents to be signed digitally. It is in your best interest to ensure that before signing a document electronically outside of the countries mentioned previously, you ensure that digital signing is recognized by the country you reside and the country the other party resides in.

Keeping Records of the Digital Signing

Businesses will have their own legal responsibility when signing documents electronically. In the United States, you will be required to keep a physical and electronic record of the transaction. Furthermore, all parties that have signed the document must have access to the file.

Services, such as EchoSign or DocuSign, exist that will allow for files signed electronically to be stored in accordance with the signees respective country.

Roswell Park to Present Findings on Jasco Pharmaceuticals’ Novel PIM Inhibitor at AACR 2014

Latest studies strengthen evidence on JP_11646 as effective treatment for pancreatic, bladder and blood cancers
Friday, April 4, 2014

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2014, which starts tomorrow, will provide researchers from Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) and Jasco Pharmaceuticals LLC an opportunity to update colleagues from around the world on their latest collaborative efforts in the area of drug development.

Since spring 2013, Woburn, Mass.-based Jasco has been working with the Center for Drug Development at RPCI to advance development of Jasco’s lead agent, JP_11646, to the clinical-trial phase. The agent is a novel PIM inhibitor that targets a key class of kinase enzymes that help to regulate cancer cell survival.

Three RPCI investigators will present findings from recent studies of Jasco’s promising investigational agent at the AACR Annual Meeting 2014, to be held April 5-9, 2014, at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, Calif.

“We knew from our earlier preclinical work that JP_11646 had shown great promise for treating a wide variety of cancers, particularly multiple myeloma,” says Jasco CEO Eugene Baldino. “These AACR 2014 abstracts provide further evidence that JP_11646 may be a promising option for treating pancreatic cancer, and also allowed us to expand our studies to include bladder cancer and acute leukemias.”

“Taken together, these findings represent tremendous positive momentum for the translational development of JP_11646 from bench to bedside,” says Gerald Fetterly Jr., PhD, Director of RPCI’s Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Core Facility and an Associate Professor of Oncology within the departments of Medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

“We are encouraged by the favorable response in all three of these studies, and based on this evidence expect to move quickly with further preclinical work as well as our first testing of this agent in clinical studies,” added Baldino.

Details of the three studies, including presentation times and locations, follow.

Yi Ding, PhD, a postdoctoral affiliate in RPCI’s Department of Medicine, is first author on “Preclinical efficacy of the novel PIM inhibitor, JP_11646, in pancreatic cancer” (abstract 751), to be presented Sunday, April 6, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Hall A-E, Poster Section 31.

There is an unmet need for new and better treatments for pancreatic cancer, which is often diagnosed at late stages, and with poor prognosis. Based on recent studies showing the effects of JP_11646 on pancreatic cancer cell growth, Ding and colleagues sought to further evaluate the antitumor activity of JP_11646, both as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapy in cells and animal models of pancreatic cancer. They found significant tumor growth inhibition by JP_11646 alone and an even greater inhibition when JP_11646 was combined with gemcitabine. The preclinical findings suggest that JP_11646 could be a promising treatment for pancreatic cancer and that the findings merit follow-up in the clinical setting.

Wei Luo, MD, PhD, a Translational Research Scientist in RPCI’s Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, is first author on “Targeting PIM1 kinase enhances 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-mediated anti-tumor activity in bladder cancer cells” (abstract 607), to be presented Sunday, April 6, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Hall A-E, Poster Section 26.

The most active vitamin D metabolite, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3), has shown preclinical antitumor activities and the ability to enhance the effects of common chemotherapeutic drugs in a broad range of cancers, including bladder cancer. PIM1 kinase regulates an enzyme that breaks down 1,25D3; this relationship between PIM1 and the enzyme in bladder cancer cells was observed previously by Luo and colleagues. In this study, the team set out to determine whether blocking PIM1 activity would indirectly enhance the antitumor effects of 1,25D3. Using a small molecule inhibitor JP_11646 to inhibit PIM1 activity, they demonstrated a significant inhibition in bladder cancer cell growth. When combined with 1,25D3, the inhibition of PIM1 activity by JP_11646 enhanced the effects of 1,25D3 on suppressing bladder cancer cell growth. This is the first study to indicate that blocking PIM1 activity is a potential approach for enhancing the effects of vitamin D therapy in bladder cancer.

Krista E. Pundt, a pre-doctoral trainee in RPCI’s Department of Molecular Pharmacology & Cancer Therapeutics, is first author on “Preclinical efficacy of the novel PIM2 kinase inhibitor, JP_11646, in human acute leukemia models” (abstract 5459), to be presented Wednesday, April 9, from 8 a.m. to noon in Hall A-E, Poster Section 31.

PIM kinases have been implicated in tumor survival and development, and are found in abundance, preferentially, in blood-related malignancies. In this study, Pundt and colleagues aimed to investigate the effects of JP_11646 in blocking PIM kinase activity in human acute myeloid (AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoma cell lines. Their findings showed that JP_11646 is highly potent and achieves broad antitumor activity by triggering cell death across a wide range of human ALL and AML cell lines. Further investigation in animal models of AML is underway to confirm these findings, which would provide insights for a novel therapeutic approach in patients with the disease.

Custom Climbing shoes

I made a pair of custom climbing shoes for a friend. I used a Ryobi bench-top belt sander to shape the lasts I used to give the shoes their form. I also used the sander to shape and finish the rubber on the soles of the shoes. After, I started making a pair for myself, but the sander's cog drive belt broke. I'll need a new one before I can finish.

HTML5 Scorecard: RIM BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0

20120426-blackberry-playbook-sm Last month, RIM released OS 2.0 for the BlackBerry PlayBook. We were already very impressed with the PlayBook 1.0 browser, and we were anticipating more, new and better. We put it through our HTML5 test wringer, and were pleased to find that the PlayBook 2.0 browser is an excellent upgrade, adding new features and upgraded performance in several areas. Notably, it features the first HTML5 color picker input type that we’ve seen on mobile, advanced SVG filters as well as a perfect Acid 3 score.

The original Blackberry PlayBook browser, released this time last year, was already a very solid HTML5 browser. In our original PlayBook HTML5 scorecard, we noted that it was far superior to the Android 3 browser and overall, an excellent HTML5 platform. We were particularly impressed with the quality of its SVG, Canvas and CSS3 Animation implementations. In this review, we’ll mostly concentrate on what’s new and improved.

In our original BlackBerry PlayBook HTML5 scorecard, we noted that it was far superior to the Android 3 browser and overall, an excellent HTML5 platform.”

Our HTML5 scorecard consists of a series of tests aimed to help mobile web developers understand new devices and new form factors as they come to market. We test in an number of areas, namely JavaScript performance, HTML5/CSS3 features, rendering performance and rendering accuracy. We also use a variety of homegrown and third party test-sites, including Modernizr, Acid3, and our own Sencha Animator demos and Sencha Touch Kitchen Sink.

### Device Essentials

But first up, some essentials for the web developer. If you’re looking for traffic from the PlayBook OS 2, search for the following user agent string:

Mozilla/5.0 (PlayBook; U; RIM tablet OS 2.0.0; en-US) Apple/Webkit/535.1+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/ Safari/535.1)

The PlayBook OS 2 supports up to 4 simultaneous touches, so interactions that rely on two simultaneous pinch/zooms are possible.

Next, JavaScript timer resolution. We’ve been looking at timer resolution on mobile lately and it can vary widely by device. For example, iOS 5.1 currently has a 4ms timer resolution with high consistency, Android 4 has a 10ms timer with low consistency. In contrast, the PlayBook 2.0 appears to have a 17ms timer. This means that script animations paced by a `setTimeout()` loop will run about 4x slower on the PlayBook 2 by default; a good reason to use explicit time in your web animations whether via JavaScript or time-based CSS3 animation. The PlayBook 2 browser doesn’t yet support the relatively new requestAnimationFrame API. For developers looking to use requestAnimationFrame cross-browser, we suggest that you use a polyfill to get the advantages of requestAnimationFrame when you can.

### Acid3 and Feature Detection

Just like the original PlayBook, the PlayBook OS 2 has a perfect Acid 3 score, with no rendering artifacts. Our favorite modernizr check sites, and HTML5Test report a very complete set of HTML5 features, including 3D transforms, HTML5 audio and video, web sockets, workers, web intents, SMIL, SVG and WebGL. What’s particularly nice to see is an almost complete implementation of HTML5 input types such as color picker and time.

Some minor missing features from the modernizr feature check: File API support, background-repeat, and IndexedDB. Since the only implementation of IndexedDB on major mobile platforms is the beta of Chrome for Android, this is not a very surprising omission (and WebSQL is still available anyway).

However, as we’ve noted before, just because a feature is detected, it doesn’t mean it’s working. WebGL, for example, won’t execute in a normal browser page on the PlayBook OS 2, and only activates when used in a WebWorks hybrid application. Similarly, some of the HTML5 input elements exist but you probably wouldn’t use them in their default style. For example, the time input has the unsettling habit of rewinding back to 0 when you spin past the highest value rather than looping. The color picker, while functional, is probably too spartan for use in a consumer application.

SVG Filters in the BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2 browser

### Graphics Performance

In real world tests, Canvas and SVG performance was excellent, even on stressful demos like Canvas color cycle and the classic SVG floating balloon. CSS Animation performance was equally excellent. The only graphics effect we could see missing was robust support for image slicing in `border-image`. But no WebKit browser supports this feature properly yet, with the exception of recent desktop Chromes. We’re happy to report that the PlayBook 2 also has an excellent implementation of advanced SVG filters–morphology, diffuse lighting, specular lighting, custom composition filters–they’re all here. As with desktop browsers, it’s not possible yet to animate filters at an acceptable FPS, but even having static filters of this sophistication is an amazing advance for web developers everywhere. Instagram-like image effects are now available for anyone with the two to three days it takes to learn the physics and syntax of SVG filters.

Here is a screenshot from the PlayBook 2.0 of a morphology filter (from IE10’s SVG Filter demo page.)

The code for this is simple:

Just like in the original PlayBook, Sencha Animator CSS3 Animation demos work very well, handling multiple simultaneous animations smoothly and consistently.

We’re also happy to say that the PlayBook OS 2 has a rock solid implementation of `position: fixed`. Even with the fastest scrolling, we were unable to dislodge fixed content from its place on screen. `overflow: scroll` and `overflow: auto` also work smoothly (with one fingered scrolling vs. iOS’s two fingered scroll).

### Removal of Non-Standards Track Features

A last note–in a move that’s guaranteed to make anti-prefixers happy, the PlayBook OS 2 browser has removed support for `-webkit-mask`. CSS masks are very handy but have been hanging out as a WebKit only feature for nigh on four years. Although there is a new standards draft for filters and effects that aims to regularize this feature, since other engines do not appear to be on track to support the feature (Gecko wants you to use SVG masks instead), it’s probably a good idea to remove any critical dependencies on masks if you want your app to work cross platform in the future.

### A Very Fine HTML5 Browser

With the release of BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2, the RIM browser team once again delivers a high performance and up-to-date HTML5 platform for web app developers. For businesses that want to bet on a stable, state of the art device for HTML5 applications, the BlackBerry PlayBook with OS 2 is an excellent choice.

  1. Leonardo Braga says

    @Michael – is it possible for Sencha to support SVG masks as a fallback so we could leverage the same icon set for the devices that doesn’t support “-webkit-mask”?

  2. interfaSys says

    I think this review has to be updated after having tested 2.0.1. The lack of support for -webkit-mask in 2.0 was a regression. The default icon set works just fine on 2.0.1 and other performance issues have also been fixed.

  3. says

    the latest breakthrough from the research in motion. it seems competition between rim and android will be more competitive, by the way how to upgrade from OS 1 to OS 2..?

Yahoo Rank Checker That Uses the API

Mar 8, 2005 • 8:52 am | comments (0) by twitter Google+ | Filed Under Search Engine Optimization Tools

Gary Price over at the Search Engine Watch Blog writes an entry named A Week After Launch Yahoo! Search Developer Network Lists More than 20 Applications, where he lists several tools that were already developed using the new Yahoo! API.

Here is one such tool that you guys might find useful.

Yahoo Link Pop Checker. Of course, you must download it and install it on your machine, because Yahoo! limits queries by IP address as opposed to by key. So if it was hosted, it simply would not work for you.

I am actually bugging some of my Yahoo! contacts to hook me up with a large volume of queries, so I can build you guys a free nice fancy tool. Wish me luck.

Jenstar (aka JenSense) Steps Down from WebmasterWorld

Feb 13, 2006 • 4:35 pm | comments (0) by twitter Google+ | Filed Under SEO & SEM Forum News

Disclaimer: I heard this on WebmasterRadio.FM's StrikePoint show, where Mikkel and DaveN go at it on the air. I do not know both sides of the story.

I have heard that Jenstar, of, has stepped down from moderating at WebmasterWorld. Jenstar is known as the contextual ad queen, speaking at both Search Engine Strategies and Webmasterworld Pub conferences. She also blogs and moderates at Search Engine Watch on contextual ad topics. Jenstar was the moderator at WebmasterWorld for the Google AdSense Forum.

I found a thread where the JenSense domain name has been blocked out by the WebmasterWorld blacklist. The blacklist is a list of domains that are not allowed to be posted. Maybe this has to do with Jennifer leaving? I can not say.

IMO, this is a big loss for WebmasterWorld.

Poll: Do You Like Video Thumbnails Near Google Search Results?

Jan 5, 2009 • 8:18 am | comments (2) by twitter Google+ | Filed Under Google Search Engine

Ever since Universal Search hit Google, we have been noticing flavors of video thumbnails and static images left aligned on the Google search results. A WebmasterWorld thread has discussion around this latest format and some are happy with it, while others are not.

Here is a picture of a subset of a Google search results:

Video Thumbnails Google

You tell me, which one will catch your eye first? Likely the one with the image next to it on the right. So, this can be a great way to get your search results more exposure, and a higher click through rate, which might result in a higher conversion rate for your site. At the same time, if you are the listing above the one with the image, you are likely to see a drop in CTR, due to the result directly below. So this can help some webmasters, while hurt others.

Here is a poll on this topic, would love to see the responses:

Clearly, adding videos and images to your site, will help you gain the exposure over your competitors. The WebmasterWorld thread discusses various methods on how to get these images near your search result.

Retired Product

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.

Creative Commons images are CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

Description: We love 7-segment displays and we know you do too, so we have made the easiest (arguably) to use medium for you to get up and running and use! This white OpenSegment Shield was specifically designed to run on top of most Arduino Uno compatible boards, all you need to do is attach headers to the shield and snap it in, no bread boards required. The OpenSegment Shield still combines a classic 4-digit 7-segment display and an ATMega328 microcontroller allowing you to control every segment individually using only a few serial lines.

Just like our other 7-segment boards, the OpenSegment Shield can be controlled in one of three ways: Serial TTL communication, SPI serial communication or I2C serial. This shield is very similar to our other OpenSegment Displays, the biggest benefit to this board is its ease of use thanks to the Arduino Uno form factor.

  • 4 digit white alpha-numeric display with Serial Comm, SPI or I2C Serial Interface
  • Display numbers, many letters, and a few special characters
  • Individual control of decimal points
  • Selectable baud rate
  • Selectable brightness
  • Baud rate and brightness values retained in non-volatile memory
  • Individual segment control for each digit
  • Arduino Uno Form Factor

Recommended Products

Customer Comments

  • A little help, all the reference material is for the serial version, the pins are named differently on the “plain” 7 segment, I found a sketch on GitHub but the author did not identify pin connections on the shield. Any suggestions?

  • Github link is broken, you have one for 7 segment though:

    • Sorry about that-the repo just never got set live. The link should work for you now!

2011 TRD Offroad: 16" Alloy wheels trade in

Discussion in 'Wheels & Tires' started by ShaneHD, Aug 24, 2011.

    ShaneHD [OP] Taco Tuesday

    Feb 15, 2011
    Fort Worth TX
    2010 Tacoma CrewCab TRD

    I just got my 2011 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad and realized that the Offroad has the 16" wheels and tires. On the Sport, they offer a 17" wheel and tire. Does anyone know what the 17" tires are?

    Since I have only 300 miles on these wheels and tires, would a dealership allow me to trade them in towards a set of 17" wheels and tires from a Sport or 4 Runner (same on both)?

    Do I have other options to trade them in else where for a 17" wheel and tire combo? Will the 17" wheel and tire combo fit on my Offroad with out lifting it?

    What 17" wheel and tire are most popular around here?

    I posted this under 2nd Gen forum, but moved it here after I saw this section.

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

    Posting to an American audience had no impact. I was not wrong about it. Posting it only in Germany or only addressing a German audience would have given the same result.

    So sorry, but I am not wrong. What did posting to a US audience do, exactly? Was it what was on your specific blog that did it, or Nina's endless media spewing that got it attention in the right country, exactly as I suggested she should do?

    This is the portion of your dribble that I wanted to comment on. Posting to an American Audience probably got the New York Times interested, which consequently posted it to an even larger audience (worldwide). It would be a safe assumption that someone in the German Government monitors news agencies for articles relating back to Germany. They may have seen this, and forwarded it onto the proper authorities in Germany, who realized that they screwed up.

    Probably didn't happen. But, it may have. While it seems unlikely that any of this happened, YOU cannot prove that it didn't happen this way.

    Have a great day:)

    P.S. On the rant about anonymity, you're not anonymous. Not because he called you out, but because you never change your style. If I wanted to (and I really don't), I could go through other sites that you post to, and find your comments. I'd probably be about 90% to 95% accurate. And if you've ever posted with your real name, I'd be able to find that as well. It has nothing to do with him calling you out. It has everything to do with you writing in the exact same style every time (and probably saying the same things every time).

Dehydrating Soaked Cashews

I want to make the Cowboy Cookies but I want to use soaked cashews. Once I tried creaming some soaked cashews and dehydrating that and what I gross moment that was when I tasted it. So, anybody try it? Result? Thanks.

  • I haven’t had good luck soaking and dehydrating either, they don’t get nice and crisp like other nuts. I haven’t tried drying the pulp after making milk though, that might work a litle better. And, at least if it doesn’t you won’t have wasted them, you still have the milk.

  • I have heard (have not tried) freezing after dehydrating is best, gets just as crunchy, although I am not sure how this affects the taste.

  • Thanks guys! I was using the cookies in an ice cream sandwich so stylestacey that should be interesting.

  • My family LOVES curried cashews so I soak, rinse, shake in a bag w/ curry powder and then dry them. It takes a long time to get them dry, but its worth the time.

  • If you’re soaking cashews to remove enzyme inhibitors, you probably don’t need to do that since most brands are heated to some degree when removing the shells anyway. There are some sources for “really” raw cashews that are hand shelled and you could soak and dehydrate those. For the first hour of dehydrating, do it at a temp of about 130-135 degrees. Then, after an hour, reduce the temperature to 105 and continue dehydrating for another 24 hours or until you reach your desired texture. See if that works.

    *Note: The high temp for the first hour will not sacrifice the nutrients (if they’re “truly” raw, like I mentioned above, otherwise, they have probably already been destroyed to some degree if they’re not advertised as “truly” raw). Since they are soaked, they have to “sweat” some of the water off. This keeps the food cool, even though the air circulating around the food is high.

    Cheers, Kristen Suzanne

  • Thank you so much Kristen! Yes, I am absolutely getting truly raw cashews from a very reliable Canadian source, and I will follow you’re guidelines.

  • No problem… let me know if it works out for you. Don’t be afraid to dehydrate them for up to 48 hours :)

14 Foodie Phrases That Have Lost All Meaning

We now live in a food culture where no phrase can be uttered without being a stupid pun or insider slang, and in the process, we've developed a culinary lexicon that has become so convoluted, reading a menu sounds like a cross between a science book, a travelogue, and a lost diary from the Oregon Trail. In short, we need to clean up our f****** language, starting with these phrases.

We appreciate the idea of freshness as much as anybody, but this kind of gives us the suspicion that we're gonna get a plate full of dirt clods. Every place that doesn't use frozen veggies (except the really hip ones without tables) is now using this, and it's making Old McDonald's kids feel less special at Sunday dinner.

"Oh no, that’s not a salad, that’s a deconstructed chicken sandwich with avocado, spinach, baby carrots, ramps, a light raspberry vinaigrette, and lemon zest. See, the roll’s over there, on the side."

Flickr/Christopher Koppes (edited)

"Kitchen-driven cocktails"

Whoever is driving with cocktails should be reprimanded. Except in Wyoming, where you can get drive-thru ones.

"Carefully curated"

A "curated" menu is just a menu with a pretentious name. Every menu is designed for somebody. Serving crepes doesn't make you the Louvre.

"Seasonal menu" is a little too lowbrow? Or do you want us to be concerned about the commodities exchange while we eat a foraged salad? Because, if that's the case, foraged salad bonds are going down.
Flickr/KyleWiTh (Edited)

A term used for movie remakes and putting some non-gravy sauce on fried chicken. You're not really re-imagining anything... you're just changing things people eat all the time. That's just called regular imagining. Or using the ingredients on hand.

"Riffs on classics"

Riffs on classics should be reserved for somebody ripping a bitchin' guitar solo during a rendition of "Slow Ride." Not a beef Wellington that uses truffles instead of button mushrooms.

Unless you're incorporating ingredients from Russia, Taiwan, Iraq, and beyond, you probably don't want to use this phrase. Especially if you're just plopping some soy sauce on something. "Asian" is fine.

"Slow food"

Makes it sound like your pasta was held back a grade. Not to be confused with the folks involved with the Slow Movement -- who we're sure are all nice people -- this term has been co-opted by people who make fast food at a slower pace.

When it first started appearing on menus, it came with the promise of ingredients lovingly transformed by a culinary master. Now, "artisanal" is a descriptor on frozen dinners and canned soup. Those can artisans apprentice for decades!
Flickr/dizzylizzy1227 (edited)

"New American"

A new American is what Apu became when he aced his citizenship class, not just putting weird ingredients in diner food.

"Molecular gastronomy"

When you're eating something under the "molecular gastronomy" name, you know you're getting some mad food science; they'll use beakers, break stuff down into elements and reassemble them, and basically behave like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew in the kitchen. It's awesome. And it deserves a better name than this, which sounds like a boring-ass college course or a procedure in which a tube is inserted into your throat.

Who the hell else would be driving? The busboy?

"We just want to be a neighborhood spot"

Well played. You're in the neighborhood. And you're a spot. If I live in a different neighborhood, can I please still come in?

Andy Kryza is a senior editor on Thrillist's food & drink team. He would like to open a neighborhood spot featuring microwave-driven fare. Follow him to simpleton speech @apkryza.

Notable PGA Championships

The 1916 PGA Championship
Date: Oct. 9-14
Location: Siwanoy Country Club, Bronxville, N.Y.

The christening of the PGA Championship took place on the morning of October 10, 1916 at 9 a.m. in Bronxville, New York Siwanoy Country Club. Tom Kerrigan, the Siwanoy host professional, teed-up first. Competing against him for the 36-hole match play win for the $2,580 purse and first Wanamaker Trophy was the Santa Barbara, California native Charles Adams. Kerrigan took the first round win with a score of 6 and 4.

Soon after, the native of Cornwall, England and resident of Philadelphia "Long Jim" Barnes defeated Kerrigan 3 and 1, while in the tournament quarterfinals. Barnes then contended with Jock Hutchison Sr., a native of golf's observed birthplace, St. Andrews, Scotland, in the finals. The two matched well, as they played to the 36th and final hole. Both came to a pair of five-foot putts on the par 4 for the last hole. Hutchison missed his putt, Barnes took the victory, and became the first to have his name engraved on the Rodman Wanamaker Trophy.

The 1922 PGA Championship
Date: August 12-18
Location: Oakmont Country Club, Oakmont, Pennsylvania.

Walter Hagen missed this tournament due to an already busy exhibition schedule. This gave the now 20-year-old Gene Sarazen a chance to make history, which holds today. The 1920 winner, Jock Hutchison Sr. loses to Sarazen. For most of the quarterfinal, Sarazen trails along, as the morning passes into the early afternoon. On the 35th hole, things change as Sarazen closes Hutchison out of the quarterfinal with 3 and 1. Sarazen, then goes on to win against Bobby Cruickshank 3 and 2. In the finals, Sarazen beats Emmett French 4 and 3. He takes home the PGA Champion title, along with becoming the youngest in history to ever win the PGA Championship.

The 1942 PGA Championship
Date: May 23-31
Location: Seaview Country Club, Atlantic City, New Jersey

Though he would have to report for duty the next day, Sam Snead played the 1942 PGA Championship finals, battling another branch of the service in Army Corpral Jim Turnesa. Turnesa, the projected underdog, lead most of the way from the start of the opening round. While Turnesa lead at the 18th hole by 3, Snead started to fight back. Snead leveled the field for both players at the 27th hole and continued to take the win with a birdie on a 60-foot chip shot, claiming his first PGA Championship.

The 1972 PGA Championship
Date: August 3-6
Location: Oakland Hills Country Club, Birmingham, Michigan

Gary Player seemed in a difficult position as he hit two bogeys in the final round, at the 14th and 15th holes, causing a tie with Jim Jamieson. Player slices his shot on a par-4 of the 16th whole, leaving him to think all chances were lost for a win as he watched his ball go behind a weeping willow tree. Approaching his ball he finds it in the rough within an area beaten down by spectators, yet still the obstacle of the trees in front of him and a lake at his right.

When Player realized he couldn't see the flagstick, he uses a borrowed chair from a gallery member to stand on so that he can see the shot. All watched as he took his nine iron out from his bag and then proceeds on to make one of the most sensational recovery hits in championship golf. As the ball whizzes into the air, it just misses the tree and the lake and then lands on a portion of the green, four feet from the cup. Player goes onto sink birdie and pocket his second PGA Championship with par on the last two of the final holes. Jamieson and Tommy Aaron are left finishing two strokes behind. Player becomes the second foreign-born player to have two PGA Championship wins.

The 2000 PGA Championship
Date: August 17-20
Location: Valhalla Country Club, Louisville, Kentucky

Tiger Woods and Bob May both dominated the Southern California Junior ranks together, however they never faced one another in competition. May, having seven years on Woods, dominated the state's junior ranks, with Woods closely following behind. From then, Woods had vowed to someday break all of May's records. Growing up as children, the two of them had only lived 20 minutes apart from one another, finally meeting face to face at the 82nd PGA Championship.

May and Woods, both dueled it out in a fierce competition until the final round that finished in a three-hole playoff. Woods continued to push into the end, as he birdied the last two of the final holes in regulation and the first hole of the 16th. On the last two holes Woods makes the most memorable par save for the trophy. Tiger Woods becomes the first player since 1953's Ben Hogan to win three of the major titles in the same year.

Unions condemn 'dangerous' low risk line

Share this page

The official decision to abandon official spot-check inspections in 'low risk' sectors including docks, agriculture, quarries and retail ignores the real dangers of the jobs and is driven by government-imposed cuts in the safety enforcement budget. Safety campaigners, speaking out on the 28 April, Workers' Memorial Day, warned the hands-off policy sends a signal to businesses they need not be so concerned about the safety of their staff. John Hannett, general secretary of the shopworkers' union Usdaw, said: 'Despite the fact a shopworker is assaulted, threatened or abused every minute of every day, the Tory-led Coalition thinks the shops where the majority of our members work are 'low risk' workplaces and are hell-bent on removing the protections in place to help keep them safe. Three separate reviews over the past year have concluded that the basic framework of health and safety law is fit for purpose, yet the government remains committed to an ideological attack on what it calls 'health and safety red tape'.' He added: 'What workers need is more effort and resources put into helping people comply with existing laws but instead the government offers only wholesale deregulation and cuts to the Health and Safety Executive and local authorities that advise on and enforce the law.' Three Workers' Memorial Day events in Humberside and others at ports around the country commemorated dock workers who had died in the last year. Despite a high death rate among dock workers (Risks 547), it is one of several jobs the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has rebranded as low risk, meaning docks will no longer be subject to proactive spot-check inspections. Hilda Palmer of the Hazards Campaign said: 'If the HSE aren't going out and doing spot checks - and companies know that this isn't happening - it'll be very dangerous and make the situation worse.' Workers' Memorial Day saw hundreds of events across the UK, many attracting several hundred people.
