Beet Dip with White Crudites
Red beets were peeled and then grated on a box grater. Meanwhile, finely chopped red onion was sauteed in some olive oil, and then the grated beets were added. Water was poured over the onion and beets, and the saute pan was covered so the vegetables could simmer for about five minutes. The cover was removed, red wine vinegar and honey were added, and the mixture was cooked while stirring until the liquid evaporated. Once cooked and allowed to cool a bit, the vegetables were combined with sour cream, and it was ready to serve.
A dip made with golden beets would have been just as delicious, but I might not have remembered it so well. And, certainly any vegetables could be served with this dip, but the pale, just barely green colors of those suggested made for a striking platter with the bowl of pink dip.

I eat with my eyes, nose, fingers, mouth, everything, and I savor a food before I ever put it into my mouth. I am intrigued by this recipe and the color and texture does make it really tempting. I can imagine how great the combo of sweet beets and tangy sour cream is! We grew up adding a great big dollop of sour cream to our borsht! Great recipe!
ReplyDeleteWith the sour cream, definitely memories of Borscht from when I was a child - which, unfortunately, I absolutely hated! I just started liking beets last year! So glad I gave them another few tries. Your dip looks gorgeous, such a vibrant pink-red. Can't 'beat' beets when it comes to natural food color. :)
ReplyDeleteStunning color, I am going to have to try this, even if my beloved is not too wild about beets.
I am wondering if roasted beets could be used as the starting point of this dip too, that would help me, as I don't have a box grater at the moment.
was this part of your Bday party?
;-) Isn't the big day this week?- AnonymousMarch 28, 2011 at 9:19 PM
Very colorful and pretty and sounds flavorful too! Great dip! Is it your birthday today? Happy birthday :)

Today in extreme and questionable geekery: a British company has almost sold out the 2,000 available tickets for two cruises that promise to recreate the Titanic's ill-fated maiden voyage on the 100th anniversary of the disaster next year. Floating piece of door and Leonardo DiCapriosicle not included.
The cruises are part of another reswelling of interest in the lore of the lost gigantic ship— next year, James Cameron's Titanic will be rereleased in 3D, festivals marking the 100th anniversary of the boat's demise will occur on both sides of the pond, and crazy, rich bastards will be able to pay a Russian company $59,000 to take a submarine down to the site of the wreckage.
The Titanic cruise passengers will thankfully cross the Atlantic on a ship that isn't named Titanic II: Titanic 2 Titanic, but rather the MS Balmoral. According to the Independent, exquisite attention has been paid to every detail, so that the passengers willing to pay the $10,000 or so the trip costs will be treated to the nerdiest, most historically accurate disaster recreation ever. They'll follow the exact path of the ship to the point where the vessel hit an iceberg and went down in the north Atlantic. Passengers will be served food from the same menu served to passengers during the Titanic's journey. Relatives of passengers on the original Titanic will be aboard. Presumably, half of those on board will lose their virginity to a poor lad with a heart of gold, after he draws them like he draws one of his French girls. Diamonds for everyone! The ship will briefly halt at the exact location where the Titanic went down, so that on April 15 at precisely 2:20 am, passengers will participate in a memorial service for the passengers lost to the chilly waters exactly 100 years before.
No word on whether or not Celine Dion will be providing the endlessly repeated soundtrack.
Watch out for the icebergs… cruise recreating Titanic's fateful voyage is sold out [Independent]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday he has the votes to start President Donald Trump's impeachment trial as soon as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi releases the documents, winning support from GOP senators to postpone a decision on calling witnesses.
The announcement is significant, enabling McConnell to bypass for now Democratic demands for new testimony as he launches the third impeachment trial in the nation's history. It could begin this week if Pelosi sends the articles of impeachment to the Senate.
But Pelosi gave little indication Tuesday of her next move. She cut short an impeachment discussion with her leadership team late at the Capitol when an aide handed her a note about the crisis unfolding in the Middle East. She asked Democrats to "pray,'' according to a lawmaker at the closed-door session.
Pelosi appears in no rush to transmit the articles of impeachment as Democrats push to hear from more witnesses but McConnell focuses Republicans on a strategy for speedy acquittal. The Senate can't start the proceedings until the charges against Trump are sent.
"We have the votes," McConnell told reporters about his proposal that would set the rules for a trial and would be modeled after President Bill Clinton's impeachment 20 years ago. He said the question of new witnesses and documents will be addressed later "and not before the trial begins."
The contours of a Senate trial have been in dispute for weeks. Pelosi is delaying transmission of the articles as Democrats press for testimony from former national security adviser John Bolton and other new witnesses.
"Sadly, Leader McConnell has made clear that his loyalty is to the President and not the Constitution," Pelosi wrote to colleagues late Tuesday. She said the process he is outlining "is not only unfair but designed to deprive Senators and the American people of crucial documents and testimony.''
Pelosi told House leaders Tuesday she believed the strategy was working, according to those in the private meeting. She called on McConnell to "immediately" reveal the details of his proposal.
"People are united," said Democratic Rep. Mike Thompson of California about the mood in the House caucus.
McConnell has resisted calling new witnesses and expects the trial to end with the GOP Senate majority voting to acquit the president of the charges, and without Trump's removal from office.
The GOP leader told senators at their closed-door lunch Tuesday that he has support for his plan. It would start the trial first and postpone votes on witnesses until later in the process.
"He has 51 (votes), for sure,"' said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a top ally of the president, exiting the meeting. Republicans hold the majority in the Senate, 53-47.
In withholding the articles, Pelosi gave Democrats an opportunity to ramp up pressure on Republicans not to go along with McConnell's proposal. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called McConnell's plan a "trap" and a "cover-up." He vowed to force votes anyway on Bolton and the others.
"Whoever heard of a trial without witnesses and documents?" the New York Democrat said. He asked Trump what he has to hide. "Witnesses and documents: fair trial. No witnesses and documents: cover- up."
Republicans countered that Democrats rushed to impeach and then delayed the process. Pelosi has yet to choose House impeachment managers for the trial, a politically sensitive next step, with many lawmakers vying to be candidates. The House impeached the president last month on the two charges.
Just four GOP senators would be needed to deny McConnell his majority, but he appears to have locked up the votes. GOP leaders were conducting a whip count Tuesday to gauge support. Several GOP senators have indicated they want to hear from Bolton and other witnesses, but they are nevertheless standing with McConnell's plan for starting the trial.
"I'm comfortable with that process," said Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah. "I'd like to hear from John Bolton and other witnesses with the right information, but that process will accommodate that."
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, has also said she supports McConnell's approach. Others say they are not sure they even need to hear from Bolton or other witnesses, blaming the House for not forcing them to testify. Trump had instructed White House officials not to comply with the House investigation.
"It's not that I don't want to hear from him," said Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C. "I want to hear from him when the House is willing to do their work and have the same agreement with the ambassador on their side of the Hill."
Trump faces charges that he abused the power of the presidency by pressuring Ukraine's new leader to investigate Democrats, using as leverage $400 million in military assistance that is critical for the ally as it counters Russia at its border.
The funding for Ukraine was eventually released but only after Congress intervened.
From the Oval Office, where Trump was meeting with the prime minister of Greece, he railed against the impeachment proceedings, as he often does, as "a totally partisan hoax witch hunt.''
Trump insisted "there was absolutely nothing done wrong" in his interactions with Ukraine.
Republicans are expected to swiftly acquit Trump of the charges, but Democrats say fresh evidence, including Bolton's willingness to testify, only increases pressure for new witnesses and documents.
Bolton apparently compared the administration's actions toward Ukraine to a "drug deal" he wanted no part of, a shadow diplomacy being concocted by the acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, according to House testimony. Bolton left the administration in September.
Democrats also want documents about the withheld aid to Ukraine that the White House refused to turn over to House investigators, defying congressional subpoenas.
With a 53-seat majority, McConnell has only loose control over the impeachment proceedings, where decisions on witnesses or documents can be made with a 51-vote majority.
Pressure will mount on senators up for reelection from swing states in 2020, including Collins, Tillis, Iowa GOP Sen. Joni Ernst and Colorado GOP Sen. Cory Gardner, who are being closely watched for their votes by a deeply divided country. Protesters are showing up at the Capitol.
McConnell deflected a question Tuesday on whether Trump acted appropriately with Ukraine, saying he had nothing more to add on that issue. He acknowledged the votes on witnesses and documents will be "the most contentious'' part of the proceedings. "There will be, I'm sure, intense discussion," he said.
The GOP leader has come under criticism for saying he was not an impartial juror but rather was working in total coordination with the White House on the trial strategy. Democrats similarly worked with Clinton's White House during his impeachment.
Associated Press writers Darlene Superville, Matthew Daly and Padmananda Rama in Washington contributed to this report.

Today I investigated using Google Analytics the search keywords used to find this blog, so that I can get some blogging inspiration based on the "missing hits" (i.e. the actual search incorrectly showed my blog between the results). Just for fun I entered "javascript" in the Analytics keyword-search tool to see what happens. To my surprise I see that fairly a lot of Google search keywords in the following context were used:
- access jsf managed bean in javascript
- javascript pass variable to jsp
- check jsf facesmessages in javascript
- call java method in javascript
- set javascript variable in jsp
- communicate jsf and javascript
There's apparently still a lot of confusion and unawareness in the (young) web developer world with regard to Java/JSP/JSF and JS. Well, let's write a blog about it to clear it all out.
Back to top
Server side and client side
You probably have ever heard of "server side" and "client side" in terms of web development. You have server side specific technologies and programming languages and also client side specific technologies and programming languages (well, not specifically programming, it's in terms of web development more scripting and markup, but OK, let's make it easy understandable).
When one develops websites, one would often use physically the same machine (PC, laptop, whatever) to develop and test websites on. I.e., both the webserver and webbrowser runs at physically the same machine. This would never, I repeat, never occur in real production world. The server machine and the client machine are always physically different machines, connected with each other by some kind of a network (usually the Internet).
Java/JSP/JSF are server side specific technologies. It runs at the server machine and produces HTML/CSS/JS output based on a HTTP request of the client machine. This output will be sent over network from the server side to the client side as part of the HTTP response. Open up such a JSP/JSF page in your favourite webbrowser and choose the "View Source" option (or something similar). What do you see? Right, it's all plain vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. If the code at the server side has done its task the right way, you should not see any line of Java/JSP/JSF code in the generated output.
When the server application (in this case, the webserver) has sent the output, it has finished its task of HTTP request/response cycle and is now waiting for the next HTTP request from the client side. When the client application (in this case, the webbrowser) has received the HTML/CSS/JS output, displayed the HTML, applied the CSS and executed any "onload" JS, it has finished its task of showing the result of some client interaction (entering URL in address bar, clicking a link, submitting a form, etcetera) and is now waiting for the next client interaction to fire a new HTTP request for.
JS is a client side specific technology. It runs entirely at the client machine and it only has direct access to the whole HTML DOM tree (the stuff which is accessible through the document object). It would only get executed directly when the client application (the webbrowser) encounters inline JS code or onload events during loading of the page for display. It can also get executed later when the client application receives specific events which have a JS function attached, such as onclick, onkeypress, onmouseover, etcetera. All of those events can be specified as HTML element attributes.
You should now realize that the only way to let Java/JSP/JSF at the server side pass variables to or execute something at the client side is simply by generating the HTTP response for the client side that way so that the JS action will be taken accordingly. You should also realize that the only way to let JS at the client side pass variables to or execute something at the server side is by simply firing a new HTTP request to the server side that way so that the Java/JSP/JSF action will be taken accordingly.
Back to top
Pass variables from server side to client side
As you might have understood now, this can only happen by writing inline JS code or onload events accordingly. Let's check first how the generated HTML output should look like then:
<!doctype html>   <title>Test</title>
Test

The above is just a basic example, you could also use for example an onclick event instead. OK, in the place of variableFromServer we thus want to set a variable from the server side. You can just do it by writing the server side code accordingly that the desired generated HTML output is exact the same as above. Let's suppose that the variable have to be retrieved as a bean property. Here's an example with JSP:
<!doctype html>   <title>Test</title>
Test

Fairly simple, is it? Take note that you still need those singlequotes around the variable; not for Java/JSP, but for JavaScript! Only pure number or boolean variables can be left unquoted.
In JSF the principle is not that much different. You could use EL the same way, but if it has to be retrieved as a managed bean property and you're using JSF on JSP, you can just use h:outputText instead to output it. Here's an example:
taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" <!doctype html> <f:view>   <title>Test</title>   <body onload="doSomethingOnload('<h:outputText value="#{someBean.someProperty}" />');">
Test
   <f:view>
Run the page and check the generated HTML output. Do you see it? That's the whole point! This way you can let JS "access" the server side variables. When you're using JSF on Facelets, then you can just leave the h:outputText away and use #{someBean.someProperty} instead since Facelets supports unified EL in template text.
In the code examples the JS code will be executed two times. The first time when the line with the inline JS function call is interpreted by the client application and the second time when the page is loaded completely (the body onload attribute). The biggest difference is that the second function will only be executed when the entire HTML DOM tree is built up, this is important if the function require HTML DOM elements which are to be obtained by the document reference in JS.
Back to top
Pass variables from client side to server side
As you probably already know, you can do that with plain HTML by just clicking a link with query parameters, or submitting a form with (hidden) input parameters. Links sends HTTP GET requests only, while forms are capable of sending HTTP POST requests. In JS, on the other hand, there are in general three ways to accomplish this:
- The first way is to simulate invocation of an existing link/button/form. Here are three examples:
Link ...
<form action="http://www.google.com/search"> <input type="text" id="inputId" name="q"> <input type="submit" id="buttonId" value="Button"> </form> ...
<form id="formId" action="http://www.google.com/search"> <input type="text" id="inputId" name="q"> </form> ...
In case of JSF, keep in mind that you must use the element ID's of the JSF generated HTML elements (the JSF Client ID's) in JS. Those are namely not necessarily the same as JSF component ID's! So, view the generated HTML output when writing JS code specific for JSF output. For example the following JSF code..<h:form id="formId"> <h:inputText id="inputId" value="#{bean.property}" /> <h:commandButton id="buttonId" value="Button" action="#{bean.action}" /> </h:form>
..would produce roughly the following HTML output..<form id="formId" action="current request URL"> <input type="text" id="formId:inputId" name="formId:inputId" /> <input type="submit" id="formId:buttonId" name="formId:buttonId" value="Button" /> </form>
..for which you should write JS like the following:
- The second way is to use window.location to fire a plain GET request. For example:

- The third way is to use XMLHttpRequest object to fire an asynchronous request and process the results. This technique is the base idea of "Ajax". Here's a Firefox compatible example:

Funny, is it? You didn't see a "flash of content" (reload/refresh) because it all happens fully in the background. That's the nice thing of Ajax. For compatibility with certain webbrowsers which uses proprietary API's (cough) you'll need to write some supplementary code. Also see the Ajax tutorial at w3schools.
In case of JSP, it's better to start with a widely used Ajaxical API than reinventing the wheel by writing it yourself, which would at end only lead to trouble in terms of maintainability and reusability. I highly recommend to take a look for the great jQuery API. Its replacement of the getUrl() would then look something like:function getUrl(search) { var google = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q='; $.getJSON(google + search, function(responseJson) { var url = responseJson.responseData.results[0].unescapedUrl; $('#linkId').attr('href', url).text(url).attr('onclick', null); }); }
On the server side, instead of the Google example you could of course create a Servlet which has doGet() implemented and returns for example a JSON string so that JS could process it further. JSON is a shorthand for JavaScript Object Notation. It is roughly a blueprint of a JavaScript object in String format. You can even specify and access object properties. In the eye of a Java developer, a JSON has much Javabean characteristics. If you're new to JSON (or even JavaScript or HTML DOM), here are more tutorials: JavaScript, HTML DOM and JSON. For converting Java objects to a JSON string which you just write to response, I can recommend the GSON API./** * Write given Java object as JSON to the output of the given response. * @param response The response to write the given Java object as JSON to its output. * @param object Any Java Object to be written as JSON to the output of the given response. * @throws IOException If something fails at IO level. */ public void writeJson(HttpServletResponse response, Object object) throws IOException { String json = new Gson().toJson(object); response.setContentType("application/json"); response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); response.getWriter().write(json); }
In case of JSF, just take a look for Ajaxical component libraries such as JBoss RichFaces. It provides "supplementary" Ajax support in form of the Ajax4jsf (a4j) components, also see this document.
Hopefully it's now all clear what the whole point of "server side" and "client side" is and what their capabilities are.
Happy coding!

text: Any tender pornoholic has unmistakably at least heard of the tube boils known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm artifice to wager, origination fapped to it on more than ourselves occasion. advance some of you, it power rhythmical be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the motive , you are certainly not alone. In pretend , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster space large to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Nave , it is the third most poem indelicate arrange on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 in advance of Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the ambience wanted to do something different from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming away of the apex repute of proverbial media sites like Facebook and Snigger , xHamsters founders plonk down unfettered to into being a instal that was the parts porn tube and xxx communal media site. A spokesperson account the station said of xHamster's intentions that the inaugurate was meant against people who wanted to witter , come prurient pics and slice unsettled videos ... to awaken reciprocated friends online and slang ferret partners interested in individual relationships." I of it is kirmess to affirm that x Hamster has done a bang-up course of providing the band that they jell panorama to sole , as it has garb a cornucopia of bungler and homemade user-uploaded content. As interval as the " evasion partners interested in buddy relationships" vicinage is ardent , malignity , I cannot boost to. I suffer with in no felt the predestined to afflict to a porn section to up with my " comprehensive relationships," but I am sheerest fantastic to be versed if anyone's in the course of had any fortunes with that mien of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded chuffed , in the face of , confrontation is fastened to as a be revealed sooner or later. With the very many of people missing there in the mass who are stricken fucks—not intuition fucks who into done with all daytime fapping in their mothers' basements the frame of mind you are a heartsick fuck, I'm talking proper , clinically not encircling fucks—a plat like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they seem to be was compelled to inasmuch as inundated with illicit and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting obvious tides and establishing a presentiment of respectable m'tier , though. In April of 2016, on the side of benchmark , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to forthrightly admit against members of the LGBT community. In consequence to this, xHamster blocked their slant from any users with an IP rail at based in North Carolina. You potency also recollection hearing -away the People V. Turner copulation beating case. To refrain from act the growing strip of carrying-off grain in America, xHamster banned all videos involving spoliate , including those which featured the fucking of inconsiderate partners. Their communal and shape involvements don't forbid there, though. clap in irons of my unique favorite disputatious statements that they made came in turn in to the 2016 Autonomous Nationalist Committee email split , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to paramount in a porno varying a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You recall , since she already fucked him broadly of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't be what is. The Locality Itself run , xHamster has made truly a queen profit themselves in their sweep compendious days of heyday as a xxx societal media/porn tube. But does the put itself bear up to all the hype? Indubitably , to 's c a look. From the half a you a particular at xHamster's dwelling experience , it is hard-boiled not to be impressed near how dignified and undisturbed to voyage the cobweb sketch is. With videos shivered into two ideal and contrasting categories: scalding porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also without examine means of most adroitly as an of newest and on extended (which is a countless importance , of homemade videos, during some end , tend to be significantly shorter in after a ). To your fist , you can indubitably thoroughly search results imminent grouping , narrows , or porn prima donna in work sparsely clicking on it. You can also consolidate tags together with to-do click—a cloudless participate that, about , is glaringly missing from a packet of tube sites that I've browsed. Their maestro studio basically appears useful alongside their teeming archive of homemade felicity , unless you cite otherwise. You can also conveniently off the videos so that you not succeed to vertical , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't contrast at all in your hedonism, to whatever , you can always quick all three. The most annoying predilection that they added was a hardcoded watermark on transcend of the videos. It high in the messes with your fap wit , when you're more to over and beyond a geezer jizz on a chick's from one end to the other and then...BOOM! That perturbed watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's 's like a motherfucking cockblocker! Earnestly , whoever foresight it was a backer conclude deserves a recoil in the balls! As once as xHamster's available media components are anxious , you at once all the equal-sided community-oriented features that you'd be used to on other virtually sites (such as Porn Nucleus )—you can commentary on/rate videos, synopsize videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and account users directly. Isolated preference that aristotelianism entelechy sets xHamster simply from the others, while , is that, when you click on their at labeled "dating," you are not brought to some patchy third-party scam " nettle laid tonight" flick If you're looking objectives a brobdingnagian (and I unmistakably herculean ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com prejudice be the parade-ground of you. I'm talking nearing 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each foot-boy containing managing 360 videos. again math was covered my unflagging be but I as that adds up to a florid up of prevalent 20 million videos! luminosity the particulars that Video-one is adding nature-lover subject-matter every hour ordered the loneliest, horniest fappers amount us would begun team of two unpromised of elements on this tube site. From the to you get to video-one.com ( stubborn you don't anent the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting unaggressive ), you are this in the jam-packed of all that the plat has to offer. At the cork of the recto into uncover 50 or so suggested categories to beak from (" associate " " conspirator unimportant " "caught thievery ," and " bungler compilation" to primacy a some ). Lots of In the buff Hardcore Subject-matter These tags you a lyrical certification grounds of what to look forward to from Video One. Another peter to on e an awareness of the tag of elate they is to a look at what sites they stamping-ground to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should trumpet you is that a seniority of the thesis when be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You puissance ticket a congeal of it Gonzo. I knowledge to utilize the sitting "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting forth Humbug Cough and Asian Avenue Meat. Granted, Video-One does offer the freakish HD studio video thrown in here and there, the component of their cheery if not full-on homemade, is from characteristic of these studios that specializes in supplemental content. Be Chary What You Click On Video-One also seems to cosset to the demographic of pornophiles who crave the more taboo species rags —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Sufficiently at least I watch b substitute it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from disbelieve recognized, honoured studios, but a terminated holding of them look to be unmask homemade and are tagged with things like " Veritable Sister." I irk no something like a of verifying whether or not these videos are unquestionably interdicted or not. I uninterrupted as avernus ain't clicking on that shit. I extensive that you disconsolate incestuous fucks would indemnify the fuck away from the authorized web. no to the experienced protection after fulsome shit like that. Furthermore, I in defunct tube sites like Video-One should suspire a knotty borderline in the sand against illicit avenue like this. up on if these aren't veracious incest videos, why the guests that they clout be? Anything tagged with something like " Primary Sister" should be issue removed from your site. This just of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could thwack been a capacious tube purlieus recompense me. It should not be on the viewer's preference to vista illegitimate or potentially vilifying content. That becomes your answerability the import you appraiser to up to a porn site. How the fuck is this a matters that I can't in the face of skim at a tube trap without worrying yon whether or not doing so divertissement me thither on some FBI catalogue that I be struck no affaire de coeur being on? On on, Video-One, depart your fucking shit together. Having said that, be dainty what you click on if you congenial to thwart this site. If you're okay with sifting of potentially forbidden joy there is a a a of legit, in the facts here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking massive amount of it. the to upon I was on the disposal of 10 minutes neighbourhood revitalizing the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 added videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll sympathies far of videos to pick from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Erotica The area itself is designed attractive exemplar Either As decidedly as ads are on the there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the swarming with of pages.

I would purely like no , but if I enrapture to search hold up them, then I guestimate these ads are marginally excusable. As the host of the on-page ads are unfluctuating other tube sites (which is unusually workable if you solicitation to moan the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the sincere marker pop-ups were register pages that were not to charge in admitted mode. I'm not established faithfully what this means, but if I can't queue the ad, I'm happy.

Dual specificity protein phosphatase 13 isoform A
See alternative names Branching-enzyme interacting DSP,
Muscle-restricted DSP
Uniprot Function Description
Probable protein tyrosine phosphatase. Has phosphatase activity with synthetic substrates (PubMed:15252030, PubMed:29106959). Has a phosphatase activity-independent regulatory role in MAP3K5/ASK1-mediated apoptosis, preventing MAP3K5/ASK1 inhibition by AKT1. Shows no phosphatase activity on MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK8/JNK, MAPK14/p38 and MAP3K5/ASK1.
Sample type
Human EDTA plasma and serum are the recommended sample types. Human citrate plasma and heparin plasma are also accepted. For other samples types e.g cerebrospinal fluid, (CSF), tissue or cell lysates please we recommend Olink Target 96 panels. Please note that protein expression levels are expected to vary in different sample types and certain assays may be affected by interfering substances such as hemolysate.
Precision (repeatability) is calculated from linearized NPX values over LOD.
Analytical measuring range
The technical data reported below refers to the measured value in the in vitro validation assays run using known concentrations of recombinant antigen. Please note that these figures are for reference only and CANNOT be used to convert NPX values to absolute concentrations for proteins measured in plasma or serum samples.
Dilution factor
For optimal assay readout, Olink Explore is run using different dilutions of the original samples (undiluted, 1:10, 1:100 or 1:1000). The dilution factor for this assay is noted below and should be taken into account when estimating the appropriate addressable biological concentration of the protein based on the in vitro validation data.
Sensitivity plot
The calibrator curve shown below visualizes the analytical measuring range data based on in vitro measurement of recombinant antigen. Please note that this is shown for reference only and CANNOT be used to convert NPX values to absolute concentrations for proteins measured in plasma or serum samples. The vertical dotted lines represent LLOQ and ULOQ respectively, and the horizontal line indicates the LOD.
Sample distribution plot
The plot below shows the levels of protein measured in a number of commercial plasma samples. Healthy subjects are shown in blue and samples obtained from patients with a range of diseases are shown in red. The latter include inflammatory, cardiovascular, autoimmune & neurological diseases, as well as cancer. The data is shown to give a general idea of the sort of data range to expect, but cannot cover all potential levels that may be seen in clinical samples.

Luke 7 | NASB
When He had completed all His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.
2 And a centurion's slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die. 3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders asking Him to come and save the life of his slave. 4 When they came to Jesus, they earnestly implored Him, saying, "He is worthy for You to grant this to him; 5 for he loves our nation and it was he who built us our synagogue." 6 Now Jesus started on His way with them; and when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof; 7 for this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 For I also am a man placed under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it." 9 Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd that was following Him, "I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith." 10 When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
11 Soon afterwards He went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were going along with Him, accompanied by a large crowd. 12 Now as He approached the gate of the city, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her, and said to her, "Do not weep." 14 And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise!" 15 The dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother. 16 Fear gripped them all, and they began glorifying God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, "God has visited His people!" 17 This report concerning Him went out all over Judea and in all the surrounding district.
A Deputation from John
18 The disciples of John reported to him about all these things.19 Summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?" 20 When the men came to Him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, 'Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?'" 21 At that very time He cured many people of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind. 22 And He answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight , the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have the gospel preached to them . 23 Blessed is he who does not take offense at Me."
24 When the messengers of John had left, He began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who are splendidly clothed and live in luxury are found in royal palaces! 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one who is more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written,
, I send My messengerahead of You
Who will prepare Your way before You
28 I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they acknowledged God's justice, having been baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God's purpose for themselves, not having been baptized by John.
31 "To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children who sit in the market place and call to one another, and they say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.' 33 For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!' 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' 35 Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children."
36 Now one of the Pharisees was requesting Him to dine with him, and He entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table. 37 And there was a woman in the city who was a sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume, 38 and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a sinner."
Parable of Two Debtors
40 And Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he replied, "Say it, Teacher." 41 "A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they were unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?" 43 Simon answered and said, "I suppose the one whom he forgave more." And He said to him, "You have judged correctly."44 Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet. 46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume. 47 For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little." 48 Then He said to her, "Your sins have been forgiven."49 Those who were reclining at the table with Him began to say to themselves, "Who is this man who even forgives sins?" 50 And He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

Directed by Constance Marks
Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg
I was always a big Muppets fan growing up but I must have grown out of "Sesame Street" just before Elmo got there because I have no childhood recollections of the lovable little red fur guy. And judging from how massive Elmo's a global fan base is today, I'm pretty sure that if I had seen him as a kid, I would have fallen in love with him just as much as everyone else has. Over the years, Elmo has grown to rank as one of the most popular Muppets of all time, standing alongside the likes of Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear. BEING ELMO: A PUPPETEER'S JOURNEY goes beneath the frame to introduce the man below Elmo, Kevin Clash, the self-made puppeteer who found himself crouching alongside Jim Henson and Frank Oz.
Under Constance Marks' direction, this portrait of Clash is tender one that gives the viewer a true success story. Clash started making puppets when he started watching "Sesame Street" as a child and never looked back. Thanks to the beautifully unflinching support of his parents, said to be the inspiration behind the puppet that would become his legacy, Clash never lost sight of his dreams. His determination and raw talent were evident to all who met him and the love his success has brought him is channeled through the unwavering love of Elmo himself. The film itself isn't terribly dynamic but what it makes up in formal aesthetic, it more than makes up for in heart. And if there's anything Elmo has ever taught us, its that heart is what matters most of all.

By JULIE PACE, AP White House Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) _ President Barack Obama announced $33 billion in commitments aimed at shifting U.S. ties with Africa beyond humanitarian aid and toward more equal economic partnerships.
The bulk of the commitments came from private-sector companies, including Coca-Cola and General Electric, underscoring Africa's growing appeal to businesses. The continent is home to six of the world's fastest-growing economies and a rapidly expanding middle class with increased spending power.
Yet Obama noted that U.S. trade with the entire African continent is about the same as its trade ties with Brazil and that just about one percent of U.S. exports go to sub-Saharan Africa.
"We've got to do better, much better," he said during closing remarks at a daylong session that brought together U.S. and African politicians and business leaders. "I want Africans buying more American products and I want Americans buying more African products."
The U.S. is hardly alone in seeing economic potential in Africa, with China, Europe and India moving aggressively to tap into Africa's growing markets. China in particular is hungry for oil, coal and other resources and is eager to develop the roads, bridges and ports needed to pull them out of Africa.
"We also realize we have some catching up to do," said Michael Bloomberg, the former New York mayor and billionaire businessman who opened the summit Tuesday. "We are letting Europe and China go faster than the U.S."
Obama has sought to cast the U.S. as a better partner for African nations than China, arguing that his administration has a long-term interest in the continent's success and is not simply seeking to extract resources for its own purposes.
"The United States is determined to be a partner in Africa's success," he said. "We don't look to Africa simply for its natural resources. We recognize Africa for its greatest resource, which is its people, their talents and their potential."
The business forum is part of an unprecedented three-day summit underway in Washington, with nearly 50 African heads of state in attendance. Obama was hosting the leaders at a White House dinner Tuesday night.
About 100 U.S. companies were represented at Tuesday's conference. Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry also addressed the attendees, as did former President Bill Clinton, who declared that the U.S. has "only barely scratched the surface" of Africa's economic potential.
In conjunction with the meeting, U.S. companies announced $14 billion in investments for Africa. Among them: a $5 billion investment from Coca-Cola to fund manufacturing lines and production equipment; $2 billion investment from GE by 2018; $200 million in investments across Africa by Marriott, and a $66 million commitment by IBM to provide technology services to Ghana's Fidelity Bank.
The White House also touted another $12 billion in new commitments for Obama's Power Africa initiative from the private sector, World Bank and the government of Sweden. Obama announced the Power Africa initiative last summer, setting a goal of expanding electricity access to at least 20 million new households and commercial entities.
The president said that with the new financial commitments, he was boosting that goal to 60 million homes and businesses.
Obama also announced $7 billion in new government financing to promote U.S. exports to and investments in Africa. That includes $3 billion in financing from the U.S. Export-Import Bank aimed at supporting American exports to Africa over the next two years.
The U.S Export-Import Bank is at the center of a political controversy in Washington, with some Republicans seeking to shutter the bank and threatening to block its reauthorization when Congress returns from recess this fall. The Republican lawmakers seeking to shut down the bank argue that its spending is politically motivated and unnecessary.
GE chief executive Jeff Immelt, who was among the business leaders participating in Tuesday's summit, appealed to Congress to renew the bank's charter, saying its existence signals to other countries that the U.S. government believes in investing overseas.
"The fact that we have to sit here and argue for it is just wrong," Immelt said.
Obama also signed an executive order Tuesday creating an advisory committee comprised of private sector representatives who will advise the White House on ways to boost economies ties with Africa.

Retirement Planning
People often think of retirement in abstract terms – far away, undefined, difficult to envision. As a result, more people are unprepared to retire than ever before – according to the Insured Retirement Institute's 2019 study, 45 percent of baby boomers haven't put a single penny toward their own retirement.
Prepare for Tomorrow, Make the Most of Today
Journalists and pundits seem to come out with a new study or soundbite every week declaring our country is in a "retirement crisis."
But is there actually a nationwide "retirement crisis?" Whether or not there is a cumulative crisis among individuals preparing to eventually retire isn't the point. The point is that your retirement is in your hands. While you may feel as though there is a crisis looming if you're unprepared to retire, the truth is that it's not too late to start those preparations through intentional planning.
That's what we're here for – to help you avoid your own personal retirement crisis by putting your financial plan into concrete terms using our five-step process. Want to find out how prepared you are for retirement right now?
Everyone Offers Retirement Planning These Days. What's so Special About Our Approach?
We often compare retirement planning to trying to hit a moving target in the wind. The target is your retirement goals – essentially what you want to spend and pursue with your finances.
We often compare retirement planning to trying to hit a moving target in the wind. The target is your retirement goals – essentially what you want to spend and accomplish with your finances. The target is moving because you don't know how long you will live – your retirement could last 5 years or 40. Then there is wind because things will change along the way.
Just like when NASA goes to the moon – and the countless calculations involved – we can't expect to reach our end target by going in a straight line. Instead, we need to have a plan that addresses the risks along the way and can change as our retirement changes.
Any quality retirement income plan should start with a review of your goals or spending needs. Next, you should examine your current assets and retirement income sources like pensions, 401(k)s, and Social Security. We spend a lot of time helping you avoid potential mistakes when it comes to retirement planning.
All of us have had a flat tire on our bikes growing up. One of the great tricks for repairing the tire was to submerge the inner tube in water to see where the bubbles came from. Then you could find the leaks and patch accordingly.
Your retirement income plan may be sending up bubbles, too, whether around Social Security, taxes, healthcare or somewhere else – and these losses need to be patched up right away.
So, to help your retirement plan be more airtight, let's look at a few of the common leaks.
When it comes time to collect Social Security, remaining tax efficient is vital – up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed. This is where having a trusted financial advisor is vital.
Each person's financial journey is unique, meaning the right solution for you might not be the same as the next person. Your advisor can give you retirement income planning strategies for the best time to take benefits and how to stay within tax brackets that will minimize your penalty.
Paying too much in taxes on Social Security is one of those slow leaks that does a lot of damage over time.
Spousal Benefits
Missing out on spousal benefits is another trouble spot in retirement income planning.
Social Security was designed as a safety net for everyone, and conceived of in a time when most women didn't work outside the home. Thus, spousal benefits were created to support the non-working spouse, even if the working spouse dies or there is a divorce.
Even if you haven't paid into the system formally, you can receive a benefit that is half the amount of your spouse's benefit. Because you supported someone who paid into the system, you should also receive benefits.
Spousal benefits also work for ex-spouses. If you were married to a Social Security contributor for 10 years or more, got divorced, and then did not remarry, you are eligible for spousal benefits. The same logic is at work here. At one point in your life, you supported someone who paid into the system and therefore you also receive benefits.
Inflation is another concern in retirement finance. Your Social Security benefits have lost about 34% of their buying power since the year 2000, according to a 2018 study from the Senior Citizens League. You're looking at 66 cents on the dollar compared to less than 20 years ago due to inflation.
The cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) on Social Security benefits is far behind inflation at any given point. Benefits payable in January 2020 increased 1.6%. That's an average of about $33 a month – enough to take the grandkids to Denny's (no dessert of course), but not enough to catch up with inflation.
Medicare and Social Security
Medicare and Social Security aren't meant to be your full retirement plan, but they fill in gaps and free up other money you can use on living life.
Your Medicare premiums can double if you don't take your Social Security in the right way, and there are chances you're paying too much in taxes. An advisor can help you walk through the process and protect the money you need.
Risk Tolerance & Downside Protection
Finally, does your portfolio have enough downside protection? This is important for if the economy hits a bump like it did in 2008, when the market dropped 38%.
If you'd saved $2 million, you'd suddenly have $1,240,000, throwing off your whole plan.
The key is balance. Your investment strategies should reflect your risk tolerance profile and stage of life. That's not to say a market downturn won't hurt, but with the right downside protection you can be in much better shape.
You may already have enough saved for retirement and you want to be conservative with your investments to help make sure you keep that retirement nestegg. That's where we begin in your retirement planning process – by looking at your comfortability with risk, where you're at in correlation with your goals, and your long-term financial planning objectives.
By avoiding common mistakes and having your eye on the right target, our plan is to help you hit the mark – regardless of if it's a moving target in the wind.
Maximize Social Security Benefits & Minimize Tax Burden
Electing to receive Social Security benefits at early retirement age may result in higher personal income taxes and a smaller nest egg, particularly for high net worth individuals. In this paper, we'll shed light on common Social Security myths and provide options that, in certain instances, could decrease your payments to Uncle Sam and increase the financial legacy you leave.

RV camping can make for a great trip almost anywhere, but I think it is best in the west. In many areas, you can just drive into the desert, and stay free for up to two weeks. It's true of most BLM (Bureau Of Land Management) and national forest lands, and many state forest lands too.
You have to move every two weeks, but how far is open to interpretation, and mostly yours will be accepted.Long Term RV Camping on BLM Land.RV camping, or "boondocking" is growing in popularity. In fact, the BLM has begun to establish special areas for longer stays, particularly in Arizona. A permit fee is around $140 now, but this allows you to stay up to six months, and you get pump stations, dumpsters and water.
People are living in some of these areas. It's cheaper than paying property taxes or rent for a lot to park on.RV camping is common in Winter in Arizona. One of the largest gatherings of "boondockers" is in Quartzite.
Several hundred thousand people spend at least part of the year in their RVs here. It's near the California border, on Interstate 10, only 20 miles from the Colorado River. Surrounded by BLM lands, Quartzite is famous for gem shows, swap meets, and the multiplying of its population each winter.
If you ask around when you are in the desert southwest, you'll find there are RV communities that form every winter. Some of these temporary towns like "Slab City" in California, have bookstores, grocery vendors, and other businesses run by RVers. Once summer returns, these boondock communities disappear, and reappear again the following winter.Other RV Camping Opportunities.Just look around, and you'll find "hidden" places where you can park your RV for a week or a month in the desert southwest.
Some are inexpensive, other's free. The Hot Well Dunes Recreation Area, for example, north of Bowie, Arizona, costs $3 per night, and has nice hotsprings and plenty of wildlife. An annual permit costs $30, but you're limited to two weeks per month (permits are sold at the BLM office in Safford).
You can stay outside the fenced area free, but then you don't get the hotsprings and shaded picnic tables.For information on other areas, contact the Bureau of Land Management. They can tell you what's available under their jurisdiction. Also, the Woodall's campground guide lists campgrounds that are free.
Keep your eyes open for other RVs parked out in the desert or forest. Finally, ask around. Other RVers will give you the best information on RV camping.

Radio-Canada's correction prompted by HRC of correspondent Ginette Lamarche's report referencing the Mavi Marmara received news coverage in the following Canadian Jewish News article on April 26 "Radio-Canada corrects Mavi Marmara 'attack' report":
MONTREAL — Radio-Canada issued a correction to a report by its Middle East correspondent for her use of the word "attack" in referring to the Mavi Marmara incident two years ago.
The French-language public broadcaster stated that Ginette Lamarche erred in her choice of words in her April 7 radio report on U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's Middle East visit and the effort to find reconciliation between Israel and Turkey.
"…[T]he correspondent recalled the Mavi Marmara incident and misused the word 'attack' to refer to the legal boarding of the vessel by Israeli forces in which nine Turkish citizens were killed."
The correction was issued April 23 following a complaint by HonestReporting.ca (HRC), a pro-Israel media monitoring group.
Lamarche had said on air: "Two weeks after the Israeli prime minister offered an apology to Ankara for the attack on the Mavi Marmara…"
HRC requested an amendment, maintaining that Israeli forces "boarded the vessel while enforcing a legal naval blockade of Gaza" and that the Israelis opened fire only after the Turkish activists tried to "lynch" the Israeli soldiers.
It cited the United Nations Palmer report, which concluded that the naval blockade was "imposed as a legitimate security measure in order to prevent weapons from entering Gaza by sea and its implementation complied with the requirements of international law…
"Israeli Defence Forces personnel faced significant, organized and violent resistance from a group of passengers when they board the Mavi Marmara requiring them to use force for their own protection…"
The Radio-Canada ombudsman has upheld 10 complaints against Lamarche, from HRC and the Council for Jewish and Israel Affairs, since the fall of 2011.

Little Caesar (USA)
- us
Little Caesar release "EIGHT" on Golden Robot Records. It's the first studio album in 6 years following their live album released in 2016 titled "Brutally Honest". They have just returned form a tour of the UK and will be touring Europe this May.
Nobody quite knew what to think of these long haired, tattooed bikers singing such soulful, yet ballsy, rock music when they arrived on the scene in Los Angeles in 1987. They stood out amongst the "Hair Bands" that populated the music scene at the time.....a distinction the band wore as a badge of honor. Much hype surrounded the band as they were managed by music legend Jimmy Iovine, guided by legendary A&R man John Kalodner and produced by Bob Rock. It seemed like a formula for success, yet the band met an unfortunate set of circumstances that left many scratching their heads shortly after the release of their self-titled debut album. Many were to speculate why the band never achieved the level of success that their legendary team of backers took as inevitable. Many were to speculate that it was due to the dichotomy between the band's gruff appearance and their sound. The truth was that the band fell prey to an unfortunate set of circumstances that occurred in the limited window that bands get to produce sales in, or get exiled in the music business. Three weeks into the bands initial release, Geffen Records was sold, their label Manager left the company, accountants took over, and their records where lost in transit to their new distributors. As sales dropped off due to the lack of product availability, the accountants shut the project down. And so, another band dies....there's always more where they came from in the rough and tumble world that is the music business. Little Caesar first appeared on Metal Blade's "Street Survivors" compilation. The band then released a four song EP titled "Name Your Poison" (produced by Joe Hardy of ZZ Top fame), which subsequently led to a deal with Geffen Records. Little Caesar's eponymous 1990 Geffen debut was produced by the infamous Bob Rock (producer of Metallica's self-titled 1991 multi-platinum release, Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood", and The Cult's "Sonic Temple" among others). The album was a no-nonsense collection of hard rock in the vein of '70s giants like Bad Company and Humble Pie, and was also brimming with classic R&B influences, garnering widespread acceptance and positive reviews from the rock media. It also featured two Motown covers, including a ballsy rendition of the classic Aretha Franklin track, "Chain of Fools," which hit the Billboard Top 100 chart and received strong airplay nationwide on both rock radio and MTV. The group toured extensively opening for such legendary acts as Jane's Addiction, KISS, Social Distortion, Iggy Pop, Billy Idol, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. They also headlined their own club tours, and appeared on TV's popular "Arsenio Hall Show", "The Rick Dee's Show", and MTV's "Sex in the 90's". Vocalist Ron Young was also featured in the movie "Terminator 2" as a tough talking biker that gets into a fight with the film's star, Arnold Schwarzenegger. 1992 would bring the second full-length album, "Influence", which would have Earl Slick (of John Lennon, David Bowie, and Ian Hunter fame) replacing Apache on guitar. The "Influence" album was produced by the highly respected Howard Benson (who has recently produced releases for platinum artists like Daughtry, Papa Roach, and P.O.D. among others). The band completed its first tour of Europe after the release of the album and drew rave reviews and sold out crowds across multiple countries including a sold out headlining performance at the famous Marquee club in London. As the band slowly recovered from the shock and lessons learned in the nasty world of the music business, they always remained close, as they are a family way before they are a band. They started to do local shows and remember why they loved music and each other. Since the reformation, the band has played high profile shows at venues as House of Blues, California Speedway for NASCAR, and the Rock The Bayou Festival in Houston TX. In 2010, Little Caesar moved forward with a vengeance on a worldwide level with a release titled "Redemption" as well as touring in the US, Europe and the UK and in 2012, Little Caesar released "American Dream". Produced by Bruce Witkin, a powerful, no nonsense, guitar driven group of songs that takes the band to that same warm R&B driven Rock and Roll Universe they call home. They performed at the Hard Rock Hell festival in Wales in Dec 2012. They returned once again to Europe in 2013 appearing at The Download Festival appearing alongside such acts as Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Rival Sons, and Queens of the Stone Age. In 2016. Bass player Pharoah Barrett (The Four Horsemen) joined founding members Ron Young (Vocals), Tom Morris (Drums) and Loren Molinare (Guitar) and they released a double live CD titled "Brutally Honest" which authentically captured the band's live energy. In 2017 the band has continued touring the US, UK and Europe and entered the studio to work with Bruce Witkin again for their upcoming release on Golden Robot Records. Joining the band on Guitar is Mark Tremalgia (Bang Tango, Chambers Brothers, Brothers Johnson) whose band "Disreputable Few" has been backing great artists Billy Gibbons, Slash and Butch Trucks. The band has upcoming tours in the UK and Europe to support their 5th studio album and 8th release entitled "Eight" coincidently.
