Kennedy was shotYoko Ono funded the memorial area inside Central Park called Strawberry FieldsDeath -- one of life's great unknowns, yet it comes to all of us. This perhaps explains our fascination not just with death, but, in some cases, with the very places people have died.So-called "dark tourism" has become a popular pastime in recent years, with tour agencies guiding travelers around catacombs in Paris, the killing fields of Cambodia and Chernobyl, among many others. Such locales needn't have seen the demise of hundreds of people -- the loss of an individual cultural or political icon can be just as emotive.These places and the events that occurred there, often combining death, fame and power, can become a final reminder of the movements or messages their victims represented.We've picked out 11 assassinations that have echoed down the years, some from as far back as 2,000 years ago, that still evoke curiosity. You can walk all these areas yourself, take guided tours or visit museums to learn more. 1. Julius Caesar, stabbed in the Theater of Pompey, Rome, 44 BCThe stabbing of Julius Caesar was a bloody, political killing that makes subsequent assassinations look dull in comparison. It also set a precedent for conspiracy; up to 60 senators were involved in the plot to put an end to Caesar's one-man rule. He suffered 23 stab wounds, though only one was fatal. It took place in a senate room just off the porticoes of the Theater of Pompey -- not, as is often said, in the senate house in the Roman Forum. The exact location is now buried several meters below ground.According to local tour guide Stuart Harvey, it would have been roughly under the spot where Rome's Teatro Argentina now stands. Just across the busy road is the archaeological attraction known as Area Sacra di Largo Argentina, which gives a good view of the Roman temples that still stand just meters from where Caesar was stabbed. "The senators were so sure they were doing the right thing in murdering Julius Caesar -- they believed they were killing the dictator in order to preserve democracy -- that they carried out the killing themselves, calling themselves 'liberators,'" says Harvey. It didn't turn out quite as they planned. The republic came to an end within a year and 17 years later, Octavian (Augustus) became Rome's first emperor. According to Suetonius's account, few of the conspirators lived more than three years after the assassination.

Kennedy, shot in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, November 22, 1963Dealey Plaza: tours are available around the most infamous assassination spot of the 20th century. By late 1963, President John Kennedy was preparing for the election the following year, in which he fully hoped to be re-elected. As his motorcade drove through the open space of Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Lee Harvey Oswald is alleged to have taken aim from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building. The subsequent Warren Commission that investigated the assassination failed to establish a clear motive for the shooting, but it concluded that Oswald, a social "misfit" with possible anti-American sentiments, acted as a "lone gunman." Conspiracy theories have abounded and many believe Oswald, who was himself shot dead two days after Kennedy's assassination by Texas nightclub manager Jack Ruby, didn't act alone or that he was framed.Since 1989, the Dallas County Historical Foundation has run a museum on the sixth and seventh floors of the building, telling the story of JFK's life, his assassination and legacy. Up to 350,000 visitors now come through the doors of The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza each year. Gary Mack, the museum's curator, says that the museum was originally conceived as a place of remembrance, although most visitors today -- 25 years after it was first opened -- don't personally remember President Kennedy. "As a history museum, we present the past and the Kennedy legacy," says Mack. "The facts don't change but the importance people place on them over time does." November 2013 marked the 50th anniversary since the assassination but conspiracy theories still thrive. "If it was an open and shut case, there wouldn't be the intrigue there is today -- a lot of people dedicate their whole lives to studying it," says Freda Dillard, owner of DFW Historical Tours in Dallas. The plaza is relatively unchanged since that fateful day. A white X marks the spot where the president was when the bullets struck. To view the scene from Oswald's point of view, see the Dealey Plaza Cam, a webcam positioned in the exact location where the assassin is believed to have stood on that day.The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, 411 Elm St., Dallas; +1 214 747 6660; in 2014 the museum is running a special program of events to celebrate its 25th yearDFW Historical Tours; +1 214 676 15103. Abraham Lincoln, shot in Ford's Theatre, Washington, D.C., April 14, 1865Abraham Lincoln was famously opposed to slavery and its spread across the United States and its new territories. He was also a theater-lover and is quoted as saying, "Some think I do wrong to go to the opera and to the theater; but it rests me. I love to be alone, and yet to be with people." He was at Ford's Theatre with his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, and two other guests, watching a stage performance of "Our American Cousin" when the actor John Wilkes Booth, a Confederate supporter who opposed the abolition of slavery, entered Lincoln's theater box and shot him in the back of the head. Lincoln died the next morning. Today, Ford's Theater is still in use as a playhouse, education center and museum. "At Ford's, people can connect with the history of Lincoln but also with his humanity," says Ford's Theater director Paul R. Tetreault. "We strive to bring history to life for the 700,000 visitors who walk through our doors annually. It's a fitting tribute to Lincoln's legacy and love of the arts -- especially theater."Ford's Theatre, 511 Tenth St. NW, Washington, D.C.; +1 202 347 4833MORE: 101 of the best sports bars in the United States4. Mohandas K. Gandhi, shot in the grounds of Birla House, New Delhi, January 30, 1948On his way to a daily prayer meeting, Mahatma Gandhi was shot by Nathuram Vinayak Godse, a Hindu extremist who opposed Gandhi's non-violent teachings, perceiving them to favor Muslims over Hindus. Godse also believed Gandhi was responsible for the partition of India in August 1947, which had led to religious violence. Gandhi's death in January 1948 sent shock waves across the world. A report that evening in the New York Times said: "His death left all India stunned and bewildered as to the direction that this newly independent nation would take without its 'Mahatma.'" At the time Gandhi was staying at the home of a friend, the Indian businessman G. D. Birla. Birla House was subsequently bought by the government and renamed Gandhi Smriti -- a memorial and museum dedicated to the life and teachings of Gandhi. It's open to visitors and holds cultural and social activities -- recent events include a film and literature festival, and conferences on disability and women's peace.

John Lennon, shot outside the Dakota, New York, December 8, 1980Chapman wrote in "The Catcher in the Rye": "This is my statement."As he returned from his recording studio late one December night, John Lennon was shot four times just inside the driveway of his home at the Dakota apartments on 72nd Street and Central Park West. There's no memorial at the Dakota itself. Yoko Ono still lives there. But just inside Central Park there's a memorial area called Strawberry Fields, funded by Ono, which features a mosaic depicting the word "Imagine." The Dakota is a major sight on New York tourist itineraries -- it's also the former home of Leonard Bernstein, Boris Karloff and Rudolph Nureyev and was used as the set for movies "Rosemary's Baby" and "Vanilla Sky." "The Dakota was the city's first luxury apartment house -- prior to that wealthy people lived in mansions or townhouses, not -- the shame of it! -- with other people under the same roof!" says New York guide Mark Levy. "When it was built in the 1870s it was so far uptown from the rest of developed New York that a critic said 'You might as well build it in the Dakotas' and the owner, having a sense of humor, named it the Dakota."Mark David Chapman, who had mental health problems although he didn't in the end plead insanity in court, is currently serving a 20-year-to-life sentence for the murder of John Lennon. He was a born-again Christian and felt angry about Lennon's comment (made in 1966) that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus." He also resented Lennon's wealth, which he thought didn't fit with the messages and lyrics of Lennon's music ("imagine no possessions").The Levy's Unique New York, 72nd St., Central Park West, New York; +1 877 692 5869MORE: How to be a New York local: 11 tips for faking it6. Martin Luther King Jr, shot at the Lorraine Motel, Memphis, Tennessee, April 4, 1968The Nobel Peace Prize winner was shot as he stood on the balcony of his motel in Memphis, where he had gone to lead a march in support of striking city workers. Just as with JFK's assassination four and a half years earlier, not everyone was convinced that James Earl Ray was the assassin, or that he acted alone. Conspiracy theories took root that government agencies could have been involved. The possible motive? Dr. King had posed a threat to the status quo and had also been an outspoken critic of the Vietnam War. The Lorraine Motel was eventually turned, with funding from local people, into the National Civil Rights Museum. Rooms 306 and 308 -- rooms King often stayed in -- were preserved, as was the motel's exterior. "The museum exists because everyday people in Memphis, mostly black Americans, committed themselves and their dollars to help make the museum a reality," says Barbara Andrews, director of education and interpretation at the museum. "Dr. King was assassinated here and for too many African Americans who paid the ultimate price for rights guaranteed in the Constitution but withheld because of race, there are too few markers or notations of their sacrifices to help move America to a more perfect union."National Civil Rights Museum, 450 Mulberry St., Memphis, Tennessee; +1 901 521 96997. Grigory Rasputin, killed at the Yusupov Palace, St. Petersburg, December 1916The Yusupov Palace still stands by the Moika today and includes a Rasputin exhibition.Months before they were hounded out by the 1917 revolution, Russia's already stressed nobles had another problem on their plate: Grigory Rasputin.They feared Rasputin, a big-bearded bear of a man who claimed mystical healing powers, was exerting undue control over the Russian royal family and sought to bump him off one evening at the Yusupov Palace.This proved no mean feat.First poisoned cakes failed to fell him, then two bullets. Eventually, he suffered a fatal shot and endured a brutal beating before his body was dumped in icy waters of the Moika, just to make sure.The elegant yellow Yusupov Palace still stands by the Moika today and there are tours in English and Russian, as well as a Rasputin exhibition.Alternatively, you can hear about "Russia's greatest love machine" via the classic '70s "Rasputin" disco track by Boney M.Yusupov Palace, Naberezhnaya Reki Moyki 94, St. Petersburg; +7 812 314 9883 (by appointment)8. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, shot in Sarajevo, Bosnia, June 28, 1914At his trial, Gavrilo Princip described himself as a Yugoslav nationalist who wanted independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He was standing outside a grocery store in a side street just off Sarajevo's Lateiner Bridge moments before Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria pulled up in a car."The side street is very small, so Princip was standing just a few meters from Ferdinand's open-top car," says Neno Novakovic, who runs Sarajevo Walking Tours. "Of course the location is of great interest to visitors -- there is a plaque on the building where Princip stood -- but the sequence of events triggered by the assassination are what make it so significant." The Museum of Sarajevo 1878-1918 now stands on the corner where events leading up to World War I began to escalate. Princip, just 19 years old at the time, shot Ferdinand in the neck, and shot his wife Sophie in the stomach; both died as or soon after they were taken to the governor of Sarajevo's residence.Sarajevo Walking Tours; firstname.lastname@example.com Museum of Sarajevo 1878-1918, Zelenih Beretki 1, Sarajevo; +387 33 533 288MORE: How to watch a war crimes trial in The Hague 9. Malcolm X, shot in the Audubon Ballroom, New York, February 21, 1965Malcolm X was killed by members of the Nation of Islam, an organization he was once part of.The Audubon Ballroom was a theater, ballroom and music hall in Upper Manhattan where Malcolm X's Organization of Afro-American Unity held weekly meetings in 1964-5. It was at one of these meetings that he was shot and killed by members of the Nation of Islam, the organization advocating black supremacy, which Malcolm X had repudiated the year before his assassination, having been one of its most prominent members for more than a decade. The convicted killers were Talmadge Hayer and two other men identified as Norman Butler and Thomas Johnson. However, the latter two maintained their innocence. Although the ballroom was (controversially) converted into a biotechnology research center in 1992, its original facade has been preserved and the second floor now has a mural depicting the life of Malcolm X and is home to the Shabazz Center (Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little, was also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz). "I think it's a very moving and effective space, which is inclusive to tourists and visitors," says tour guide Mark Levy.

Thomas Becket, killed at Canterbury Cathedral, England, December 29, 1170Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury during the reign of Henry II, had angered the king by excommunicating three of the most powerful clergymen in the land. Enraged, Henry II is said to have muttered that he wished to get rid of Becket, who was once his close friend. Four of the king's knights took him at his word and made their way to Canterbury Cathedral. Becket was warned the knights were coming but he refused to bar the cathedral door, saying "the House of God shall be barred to no man." According to Lis Hamlin, director and guide at Guided Walks in Canterbury, Becket was making his way up the stone steps in the northwest transept, now known as The Martyrdom, when the knights entered. "Becket would not recognize the area today; it was reordered in the 1470s but the northwest buttress (containing a spiral staircase) still remains from the Romanesque building," says Hamlin. "When Pope John Paul II came to Canterbury in May 1982 to pray in the Martyrdom with Archbishop Robert Runcie, he apparently commented that there was no reference to Thomas Becket. "There is now a symbolic, modern (1986 by Giles Blomfield) Altar of the Sword's Point in the Martyrdom. This is a reference to the severing of Becket's 'crown' by Richard de Breton (one of the four knights) during which his sword broke on the flagstones; the broken sword point was placed by the monks on an altar."Canterbury Guided Tours, Christ Church Gate, Canterbury, Kent; +44 1227 459 779; guided walks from £7($12) per adult, £6.50 ($11) per student, £5 ($9) per child under 12Canterbury Cathedral, Cathedral House, 11 The Precincts, Canterbury, Kent; +44 1227 762862MORE: Survival guide to the UK11.

Need more evidence?
I can't think of more condemning evidence of the tyrant that Obama truly is, than is failure to personally intervene and stop the torture of this whistleblower. And yet he allows it, and thus condones it.
Obama could be impeached on this act alone!
This is pure criminality and dictatorial evil.

Financial players flock to Bahrain for World Islamic Banking Conference
Khalid Hamad Abdul-Rahman Hamad, Executive Director - Banking Supervision at the Central Bank of Bahrain said, "The banking sector will witness considerable local and international regulatory changes, and the people who are in charge of managing banks need to adapt to these new realities. The World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC) will be a high profile platform to examine these realities and focus on these constraints. I hope that the discussions that will take place during the 19th Annual WIBC between leaders of the banking sector will enhance the industry.
"The Central Bank of Bahrain is once again honored to support this prominent international event."
David McLean, Chief Executive of the World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC) said, "The global Islamic financial services industry continues to experience double digit growth, with recent estimates indicating that global Shari'ah-compliant assets now stand between $1.1- 1.3 trillion."
WIBC 2012 will begin on 9 December 2012 with a series of pre-conference summits. The main WIBC 2012 conference, which begins on 10 December 2012, will be inaugurated by HE Rasheed Mohammed Al Maraj, Governor of the Central Bank of Bahrain. The inaugural address will be immediately followed by a special opening keynote address by HE Khaled Mohammed Al-Aboodi, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of the Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector, the private sector arm of the Islamic Development Bank Group (IDB), Saudi Arabia.
WIBC 2012 will also feature a guest address on the potential for Islamic finance in Maghreb countries delivered by HE Jaloul Ayed, Former Minister of Finance of The Republic of Tunisia on 11 December 2012.

As most of you who follow the blog here know, I've been helping to put up a new website called Free Romance Fiction. I'm excited to say we've received our first two offerings from well known, and best selling authors Linda Sole, and jj Keller. Both stories are fabulous and well worth reading! Linda has submitted a historical romance story called Yo, Ho, Ho, and a Bottle of Rum, and jj has submitted a story called A Haunting Song.
I think we are on our way to seeing a site that has some really spectacular romance reads by well known authors. Oh, and the site is not riddled with google ads either which I think is a plus. In addition the stories are in PDF format making them easy to access and read.
Check back often to the blog here as I will continue posting when we have new stories up on the website.
Enjoy these two new offerings! :-)

How many starting quarterbacks are there in the NFL? 32? How many of them made the playoffs last year? Tim Tebow did. That means he was better than most starters. Look at his winning percentage in all football games the last 5-6 years.The facts don't lie.
I'm a UGA fan, don't get me wrong, but if you think Gurley is going to beat out Manziel, you're crazy! GO DAWGS!
Spurrier was right to whine about the schedule.... he got LSU and UGA got Ole Miss.
1st Domino to fall will be Oregon by 3 to Stanford.
Hey Falcons, You drafted a bust (Jamal Anderson) signed a bust (Ray Edwards). Think you can let your D-line coach assist you in getting a player this time? Hint, Chris Clemons in Seattle would love to come home. One good Dawg.
Maybe Falcons will be smart and get Tim Tebow here to replace Michael Turner as short yards needed plays for first downs ... It may put a spark in Turner rear to play better!
Even Spurrier can't break the curse. South Carolina will NEVER win a SEC Championship.
Falcons are three starters short of the Super Bowl. LT, RG and DE.
Let's see, if Tech and Ga Southern are weak interstate opponents for UGA, then what do you call Miami and Auburn?
I hope Jeff Gordon wins Homestead. Who really cares about Brad, Jimmy or Clint anyway?

Today sees the release of Skitszo Part 2 which includes the new single "Why Are You Leaving?" produced by Cherry Cherry Boom Boom and featuring Far East Movement's Kev Nish. On the track, Colette personifies a less-than-innocent bystander in a relationship gone south while Kev Nish is the foil to her torment. The accompanying video, to be released later this month, is a gritty testimonial about a relationship grown complicated shot in the melancholy corners of a wistful downtown LA.
Skitszo, which features Colette's unique combination of singing and spitting ("spinging"), is a wickedly inventive set of pop, hip-hop, and electro-pop co-written with and produced by The Cataracs, Martin "Cherry Cherry Boom Boom" Kierszenbaum, Frankmusik and RedOne. Colette's unique flow and unexpected lyrics are a wild mix of sassy humor and spitfire personality.

Leptin action on its receptor (LEPR) stimulates energy expenditure and reduces food intake, thereby lowering body weight. One leptin-sensitive target cell mediating these effects on energy balance is the proopiomelano-cortin (POMC) neuron. Recent evidence suggests that the action of leptin on POMC neurons regulates glucose homeostasis independently of its effects on energy balance. Here, we have dissected the physiological impact of direct leptin action on POMC neurons using a mouse model in which endogenous LEPR expression was prevented by a LoxP-flanked transcription blocker (loxTB), but could be reactivated by Cre recombinase. Mice homozygous for the Lepr(loxTB) allele were obese and exhibited defects characteristic of LEPR deficiency. Reexpression of LEPR only in POMC neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus did not reduce food intake, but partially normalized energy expenditure and modestly reduced body weight. Despite the moderate effects on energy balance and independent of changes in body weight, restoring LEPR in POMC neurons normalized blood glucose and ameliorated hepatic insulin resistance, hyperglucagonemia, and dyslipidemia. Collectively, these results demonstrate that direct leptin action on POMC neurons does not reduce food intake, but is sufficient to normalize glucose and glucagon levels in mice otherwise lacking LEPR.

Ball makes her mark with hardy, boogie-woogie piano chops flying recklessly à la Jerry Lee Lewis and a voice that soulfully adds subtle inflections as she cruises through her upper register. Ball adds a complementing contrast to her current touring package that finds her alongside Fogerty and Aaron Neville, a natural combination she feels caters to people who like "strong, rootsy music, but don't want to be left in one bag."
Likewise Ball's repertoire draws from many bags. Primarily slated as a contemporary blues artist, she's run the gamut from folk to rock and incorporates healthy doses of R&B, zydeco, swamp-rock, and gospel into her current playbook. In 1998 the gospel-inspired vocal showcase she recorded with fellow blues divas Irma Thomas and Tracy Nelson, Sing It!, was nominated for both Grammy and Handy awards in the best contemporary blues album category. She didn't win those awards, but the same year Ball hauled in a Handy for contemporary female artist of the year, and she is again nominated this year in the blues instrumentalist (keyboards) category. The charismatic six-foot brunette's piano phrasings are right on the mark -- not particularly complex, yet they hit home with a universal barrelhouse-romp appeal.
Ball writes solid songs with catchy hooks and lyrics often catering to her two favorite pastimes -- partying and falling in love. She tugs at heartstrings with a tender touch on the thoughtful ballads "Why Women Cry," and "For the Love of a Man," from her 1997 solo disc, Let Me Play With Your Poodle. However, for prime examples of Ball's freewheeling ebony/ivory prowess, listen to the title track from Poodle or the full-tilt boogie of "That's Enough of That Stuff," from 1986's Hot Tamale Baby, where her affinity for the licks of Dr. John, Professor Longhair, Leon Russell, and Fats Domino becomes evident.
Critics have long heralded Ball's songwriting abilities, although she concedes that composing's not her favorite thing to do. "Like the saying goes, "I don't like to write, I like to have written,'" she explains. "The writing process is not all that pleasant." But Ball can't stop its contagiousness. "After I got my first songs out there, I was like, "Hey, I like this. This is cool.'" Ball's songwriting progressively became a bigger part of her recordings. On her first few discs, she only wrote a few tunes, but by the third CD, the rollicking, New Orleansstyle Gatorhythms, seven out of ten songs were originals. Since then Ball's written about half the numbers she records. The rest of the songs are chosen from diverse artists such as Tampa Red, Elton John, Clifton Chenier, and Delbert McClinton. But there's no great scientific method for picking her covers, she claims. "It usually depends on what I need -- a hot, up-tempo, zydeco-sounding song -- or I just find the perfect lyrical hook or the right story to tell."
When she's not writing or working in the studio, Ball and her five-piece band (saxophonist Brad Andrew, bassist Don Bennett, guitarist Pat Boyack, and drummer Keith Robinson) usually play as many as 140 gigs a year throughout the U.S. and Europe. "My typical crowd is middle-aged," she admits, "but still cool. Then the whole young crowd is also there -- and I get a lot of testimonial from them. They come up to me after a show and say things like, "We never heard you before, but we really like that.' Or "I couldn't decide if I wanted to come hear you, lady, but I'm glad I did.'"
Music was instilled in Ball's blood early: She started playing the piano, which turned out to be the prime mover in her professional life, at age five. "It's almost as if music chose me, and then allowed me to continue," she says jocularly. "And of course you need to understand that once you're a ham, then you're always a ham. Once you've appreciated the seductiveness of an audience's response, then it's hard to break away from that. I've had that going on since I was about five."
But it wasn't until the late '70s that Ball's career started to bloom, after she landed in Austin, Texas, where she's still based. She floated among rock bands (including the psychedelic-tinged Gum and the straightforward Freda and the Firedogs), then took a special shine to the progressive country movement that was going on at the time. But then, she reveals, "around 1980, I decided to concentrate on being in a blues band and that I would hire only people who were that kind of musician. That's where I came from: blues and rhythm and blues. That's what I had started to infuse into my other bands, but I had a hard time cutting loose from all the other things I was doing."

Productive arable
farmland at Linkfield near Airth, in the Carse of Stirling.
The Ochil Hills are on the
northern horizon. In an article in the Spring issue of Scottish
Place-name News, the last before the 700th anniversary of
the Battle of Bannockburn on 24 June 1314, John Reid revisited
the popular belief that the setting for the battle was
conditioned by the whole of the Carse of Stirling, the stretch
of low ground along the southern side of the Forth from Stirling
south-east towards Falkirk, being a wild, impassable, peaty
morass. The evidence of place-names and medieval charters,
including royal grants to important abbeys and references to
large amounts of grain being grown, shows that although there
were some areas of peat moss much of the Carse by the late 13th
century would in early summer have looked more like this recent
scene than like any kind of untamed wetland.

Current Time
Puglia hotels
Once a region dominated by uninspiring three-stars, family beach resorts, and one or two stuffy grandes dames, Puglia has built a more happening accommodation scene over the last decade, particularly in the fertile Valle d'Itria and the Salento peninsula to the far south. Some of this has to do with the conversion of the area's characteristic fortified farmhouses, or masserie, into luxurious rural resort hotels (soon there will be no working farm estates left, as three or four new masseria hotels seem to open each season). The other novelty is the arrival of boutique hotels in historic towns like Ostuni, Gallipoli, and Lecce: These range from swish, ultra-design refuges for Milanese fashion victims, such as La Sommità Relais Culti, to whitewashed neo-bohemian warrens for modern-day Beat poets, such as Relais Corte Palmieri. Note that although some of the masserie and many seaside hotels are open only from Easter to around the end of October, Puglia is much more of a year-round destination than Capri or the Amalfi Coast.

But specifically me, since my life has taken an odd, twisted turn in the last several years, and bottomed out last year until now affecting my health, money, job and everything else.

Anyway, we suspect that it could be an obeah or some kind of other influence because of some situations in my family that involve my mother and jealousy towards me when I was doing much better.
There are so many things from the spiritual baths to the Uncrossing oils and candlework that I am confused. We were thinking of just finding someone to pray over us or do a bath, but it may be something I can do myself. That is what bought me to your store. What can I use to work definitely? What is the best for this? Thank you!

I was hoping to get some help on here to reverse the work or break it totally. so if anyone can tell me how to detach a dark spirit that would be helpful and thanks for being concerned about the money situation which is why i came here hoping someone can tell me of some products that may be able to do the work for cheaper. Even if that means me getting a prepaid card to make purchases from lucky mojo and waite for the shipping. Well someone get at me with a legitamite answer and not one that just says its a scam and 13 herb bath.

Looped Walks
O'Brien's Bridge VillageO'BriensbridgeClareRepublic of Ireland
The village of O'Briensbridge stands on the eastern verge of Co. Clare, on the right bank of the river Shannon – the longest river in Ireland. The bridge which gives its name to the village stands across the Shannon, and has at its east end, in Co. Limerick, the village of Montpelier. The section of the river downstream from O'Brien's bridge is noted for angling and watersports. Upstream at Parteen the flow of the Shannon is diverted into a man-made canal (called the Shannon Headrace) for a hydroelectric station at Ardnacrusha. The Errinagh Canal was built to allow navigation of boats and barges to the City of Limerick . Today, the canal is being developed as a recreational amenity (fishing, watersports, etc) – the loop uses what was the towpath for horses as they pulled barges along the waterway in previous times. A-B. Starting from the riverside car park, follow the pathway along the River Shannon away from the village. You are following the blue arrows on the waymarkers, but there are also red arrows (for the longer Old Barge Loop) and the yellow arrows of the Lough Derg Way (a long-distance walking route which goes from Limerick City to Killaloe). The pathway soon enters an area of natural woodland along the bank of the river - this was the old towpath. After 1km the route swings right as you join the Errinagh Canal. B-C. Continue to follow the sandy path along the bank of the canal to reach Errinagh Bridge. Go under the bridge, and on your exit, climb the embankment where you will turn right following the blue arrow. Notice that you leave the Lough Derg Way at this point. You also leave the red loop as it turns left towards the village of Clonlara. C-D. Follow the blue arrows onto a tarred roadway. Turn left and almost immediately turn left via a gateway/stile into a field and onto the embankment of the Shannon Headrace, where you rejoin the red loop on its return from Clonlara. Turn right on top of the embankment.D-E. Follow the right bank of the headrace for almost 2km to exit via a stile at the end of forestry and onto a roadway. Continue straight here.E-F. After 300m enter the village again, turning right as you join the tarred road. F-A. Follow the road through the village – enjoying the 200m back to the trailhead.

Voltage-gated sodium channels drive the initial depolarization phase of the cardiac action potential and therefore critically determine conduction of excitation through the heart. In patients, deletions or loss-of-function mutations of the cardiac sodium channel gene, SCN5A, have been associated with a wide range of arrhythmias including bradycardia (heart rate slowing), atrioventricular conduction delay, and ventricular fibrillation. The pathophysiological basis of these clinical conditions is unresolved. Here we show that disruption of the mouse cardiac sodium channel gene, Scn5a, causes intrauterine lethality in homozygotes with severe defects in ventricular morphogenesis whereas heterozygotes show normal survival. Whole-cell patch clamp analyses of isolated ventricular myocytes from adult Scn5a(+/-) mice demonstrate a approximately 50% reduction in sodium conductance. Scn5a(+/-) hearts have several defects including impaired atrioventricular conduction, delayed intramyocardial conduction, increased ventricular refractoriness, and ventricular tachycardia with characteristics of reentrant excitation. These findings reconcile reduced activity of the cardiac sodium channel leading to slowed conduction with several apparently diverse clinical phenotypes, providing a model for the detailed analysis of the pathophysiology of arrhythmias.

December 05, 2012 (Minneapolis, MN) — Optum Pro Cycling presented by Kelly Benefit Strategies, entering the heart of the cyclo-cross season and with the 2013 road racing season rapidly approaching, announced expanded and revised rosters today for its men's and women's programs, featuring key re-signings, important new additions, and the retention of three national championship jerseys holders.
"Both the men's and women's teams had a lot of success in 2012 and we didn't want to change the formula too much. We worked hard to keep the core together and make a couple of strategic additions," said Performance Director Jonas Carney. "Last year the men's team was able to win both the KOM jersey at the Tour of California the USPRO Criterium Championship, two vastly different races. The women's team was equally as balanced, winning time trials, difficult stage races, and dead flat criteriums. We want to continue to be that well rounded. Our goal is to be competitive in every race we start."
The NRC championship women's team sees the return of Jade Wilcoxson, who recorded a spectacular season in 2012 as a first-year rider, and should prove even more dangerous for the rest of the peloton after a successful year on the road and a fall of 'cross racing under her belt. Together with 2011 NRC champion Janel Holcomb, Wilcoxson will make the team a force to be reckoned with in any stage race. Also returning to Performance Director Rachel Heal's team are Canadian star duo Joelle Numainville and Denise Ramsden. Both riders rode for Team Canada in the 2012 London Olympics, and Ramsden claimed her country's national championship in the road race discipline earlier this summer
Four new additions will join the women's team in 2013, including two-time US track national champion Lauren Hall, to round out Heal's eleven woman roster. Heal's team will register alongside the men's team as a UCI Continental outfit this season for the first time.
"We had a phenomenal year in 2012 and I am happy that we've retained the core strengths of our team for 2013," said Heal. "We've also added some great riders – Lauren (Hall) is an experienced and versatile road racer, and we have some great up-and-coming talent joining the ranks. Upgrading our status will also allow us to compete in bigger events around the world, which is very exciting. We have a great balance of experience and youth, and we are all looking forward to building on the successes of 2012."
Carney took a similar approach to shaping his 2013 roster – maintaining key strengths on a men's team that amassed 100 podiums and 48 wins last season, and bolstering soft spots with strategic signings. Key to this strategy was the re-signing of Ken Hanson, whose nine UCI stage wins put him in the same category as some of the world's top riders. Hanson, a pure sprinter, also added the King of the Mountains jersey at Canada's grueling Tour de Beauce and the US Pro Criterium Championship to his considerable palmares. His leadout train is again bolstered by veteran team captain Alex Candelario, who enters his sixth year with the Optum p/b KBS team. Joining the formidable leadout for 2013 is pure sprinter Eric Young, who won the US Criterium Championship in 2011 before handing the stars and stripes off to Hanson.
"The addition of Eric Young means we have the last two national criterium champions, and this will make our team even more dangerous in field sprints," said Carney. " Hanson did a fantastic job this year, but we cannot expect him to attend every race and be on form for nine months straight. Eric is going to give us depth at that position. When it comes to field sprinting, it's always better to have a dual-pronged attack. Those two guys will be hard to beat with Cando and (Mike) Friedman leading them out. When the sprints are more selective, Cando and Friedman will get their chances as well."
Another important signing comes in the acquisition of Minnesota native and former ProTour rider Bjorn Selander, who joins the orange and black after a stint with Team Spidertech. Selander, an experienced stage racer and climber, will add considerable depth to the team's already formidable stage race attack.
Also returning for '13 – last year's Nature Valley Grand Prix and time trial guru Tom Zirbel, '12 Amgen Tour of California KOM winner Sebastian Salas, and Ian Moir, who claimed another national championship for Optum p/b KBS on the track, winning this summer's U.S. championship scratch race.

Boys Soccer: Naperville Central downs Metea Valley for sectional title
Metea Valley's Christopher Freeman brings the ball back up to center field after scoring a goal against Naperville Central High School on Friday, October 26, 2012 at West Chicago High School in West Chicago IL. | Terence Guider-Shaw~For Sun-Times MediaUpdated: October 26, 2012 10:04PM
Naperville Central couldn't have asked for much more Friday night.
The Redhawks broke the school record for wins by smashing Metea Valley 6-1 to capture the Class 3A West Chicago Sectional championship.
DePaul-bound striker Pat Flynn led the way, scoring two goals and adding an assist to break the school's single-season scoring record. He now has 29 goals this season, two more than the old mark held by current Wisconsin junior Chris Prince, whose career scoring record he broke earlier this season.
"We talked about jumping on teams early and getting that rhythm and groove a little bit earlier," said Naperville Central coach Troy Adams, whose team will play Edwardsville or Romeoville in Tuesday's Normal Supersectional. "Before this game it's always taken us 10 minutes to get our feet underneath us. We talked about the importance of going from the whistle straight through. Today they came out and did it."
Sophomore Jordi Heeneman opened the scoring for the Redhawks (21-1) when he received a pass from Flynn, spun and blasted a 28-yard shot under the crossbar just 9:29 into the contest.
That opened the floodgates for Naperville Central, which twice scored a pair of goals within 90 seconds, once in each half.
"I saw an opening, just took my shot and I hit it as hard as I could," Heeneman said of his sixth goal of the season. "It ended up really good."
While top-seeded Naperville Central was a clear favorite against eighth-seeded Metea Valley, nobody foresaw the dominance with which the Redhawks played.
"I thought this game was going to be pretty close," Heeneman said. "I thought we could probably if we played our best win by a couple goals, but not five. That surprised me a lot. We played one of our best games of the season."
Junior David Murphy made it 2-0 when he volleyed a long ball from Michael Marchionna over the head of Metea goalie Gabe Gongora at the 14:08 mark. Central scored again 1:30 later when Mike West received a goal kick from goalie Mike Pavliga and quickly passed ahead to the sprinting Flynn, who rolled a beautiful finish under the arm of the charging Gongora.
"As you keep going on in the tournament it's always a great time to keep winning," Flynn said. "We went through it last year and we saw North fall last year in this game [in an upset to Central] and we knew we had to come out strong and we knew we could fall because if we took Metea as a weak opponent, they could beat us because they have a lot of weapons up top.
"Chris Freeman is really fast and we knew if we gave him time, which we did at the beginning of the second half, he would hurt us. So we were lucky that he only did it one time."
Freeman scored on a long run up the middle to give the Mustangs (11-7-4) a glimmer of hope with 34:28 remaining, but the Redhawks pumped in three more goals in a five-minute span. Flynn blasted in the fourth goal off an indirect free kick in the box by West and then Sam Reskala and West scored 90 seconds apart to make it 6-1 with 24:03 to go.
"Congrats to Naperville Central for how well they played," Metea Valley coach Josh Robinson said. "They're a phenomenal team and good luck to them.
"I can't be prouder of how hard our boys worked all year. To get in a sectional championship way surpassed the goals we were looking for. Third year of a varsity program and we're already in the sectional championship. The seniors that are here have laid a foundation and I can't thank them enough for what they've done for the school and for the community."

I'm not sure if this is the best place to put this thread, but here it goes. I had a super frustrating brew last night. I did an all zythos blend IPA and I could not get it to stop boiling over. As a result, I only got about 50% efficiency and missed my target OG by .016, and, with a 90 minute boil. I should note that I do use a 7.5 gallon brew kettle, so boil overs are an issue for me, especially during hop additions. However, I can usually get it under control after 1 or 2. Last night, it continued for the entire 90 minute boil. And it was not just during hop additions either. It was the entire time. I tried everything: ice cubes, decreasing the heat, stirring, skimming the thicker foam with a slotted spoon. I guess one question would be, are some grains more apt to boilover than others? Please help... J Brew
I always get potential boil overs with Pilsen malt. That's been the worst for me. But I started using Fermcap.... Just a couple drops right as it starts to foam up, and like magic, it all dies down and no boil overs to worry about!
+1 fermcaps. Works great with yeast starters too.
...or you can use these they solved all my boil over issues both in my brew kettle and my Erlenmeyer flask for starters. I buy the unflavored ones they are easier to find at any drugstore.
I've had a couple of near-boilovers (5 gallon pot, about 3.5 gallon partial boils) recently. I've found using a spray bottle set on a heavy mist at the first hint that it's thinking about boiling up helps, accompanied by vigorous stirring while spraying. If it gets too close for comfort, I lift the pot off the burner until it settles. This is fairly dangerous with a 5 gal pot and I wouldn't recommend it with larger ones... if you have a gas stove or burner you could probably just turn off / down the flame to get the same effect, but with an electric burner it takes too long to cool down to be effective. Having a second person on hand to turn down the heat while you hold the pot, cursing and praying not to dump boiling wort foam all over the kitchen is extremely helpful but not strictly required.
+1 on the spray bottle of water. Works like a charm for me!!
Luck is for People who need Luck.
Great advice, folks. Thanks!!

Neighborhood to get facelift with RENEW! cleanup project
POSTED: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - 10:33am
UPDATED: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - 10:44am
Longview, TX — A northwest Longview neighborhood will be swarming with city crews and volunteers next month as part of an effort to improve quality of life for hundreds of residents.
Called RENEW! Longview, the project is a partnership of the city of Longview, Spring Hill ISD, nonprofit organizations, residents and volunteers, and will attack issues from drainage and overgrown vegetation to crime prevention.
"We try to look at an area that has kind of got several issues going on," said Chris Clayton, the Longview Police Area Representative for the area. "We initially focused on a more centralized area, but we decided to expand it to take in a larger area, to just make the outreach a little bit further."
The project area, which he said includes about 800 homes, is west of Gilmer Road, north of Blake Drive, east of Teri Lynn Drive, and south of Alta Drive.
It is the third project for RENEW!, or Resources Enriching Neighborhoods through Empowerment Works. Last year, volunteers from Pine Tree ISD, Go West Longview and area churches turned their attention to the neighborhoods surrounding Birdie Park. The first RENEW! effort focused on the neighborhood near Stamper Park.

Interactions between transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and Wnt are crucial to many biological processes, although specific targets, rationale for divergent outcomes (differentiation versus block of epithelial proliferation versus epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)) and precise mechanisms in many cases remain unknown. We investigated β-catenin-dependent and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) interactions in pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) in the context of EMT and pulmonary fibrosis. We previously demonstrated that ICG-001, a small molecule specific inhibitor of the β-catenin/CBP (but not β-catenin/p300) interaction, ameliorates and reverses pulmonary fibrosis and inhibits TGF-β1-mediated α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and collagen induction in AEC. We now demonstrate that TGF-β1 induces LEF/TCF TOPFLASH reporter activation and nuclear β-catenin accumulation, while LiCl augments TGF-β-induced α-SMA expression, further confirming co-operation between β-catenin- and TGF-β-dependent signaling pathways. Inhibition and knockdown of Smad3, knockdown of β-catenin and overexpression of ICAT abrogated effects of TGF-β1 on α-SMA transcription/expression, indicating a requirement for β-catenin in these Smad3-dependent effects. Following TGF-β treatment, co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated direct interaction between endogenous Smad3 and β-catenin, while chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-re-ChIP identified spatial and temporal regulation of α-SMA via complex formation among Smad3, β-catenin, and CBP. ICG-001 inhibited α-SMA expression/transcription in response to TGF-β as well as α-SMA promoter occupancy by β-catenin and CBP, demonstrating a previously unknown requisite TGF-β1/β-catenin/CBP-mediated pro-EMT signaling pathway. Clinical relevance was shown by β-catenin/Smad3 co-localization and CBP expression in AEC of IPF patients. These findings suggest a new therapeutic approach to pulmonary fibrosis by specifically uncoupling CBP/catenin-dependent signaling downstream of TGF-β.

Get Wet!
PowerLine caught a photo off of Yahoo's photo page featuing one of the comlier people participating in this year's Polar Bear Plunge in Annapolis, MD. I figured I'd let you all in on what that was about, since it s for a prety good cause.
The Polar Bear Plunge is one of three events sponsored largely by the Maryland State Police to raise money for the Maryland Special Olympics. They all take place in the winter. The first one was in mid-December in the Potomac River and the next one happens on February 26th in Deep Creek Lake in Western Maryland. Trust me, it will be very cold out there. The lake is in the Maryland portion of the Allegany Mountains. There'll be snow on the ground and they may have to break ice on the lake enough for the plungers to get into the water. Most of the folks out there shivering in the Chesapeake Bay today will be at all three events during the year and each will raise hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
They do pretty well and get great press. I proud to say that a lot of people who participate, either as waterborne security and emergency medical personnel or as actual Plungers who've raised money for the Special Olympics are my co-workers. It's a good cause and if you have a spare buck or two in the next month, they could certainly use them.

Draft Spotlight: Georgia Tech OLB Jeremiah Attaochu
If you ask Jeremiah Attaochu's former Georgia Tech teammates, they'll tell you the 6-foot-3, 252-pound linebacker has what it takes to make it in the NFL. Georgia Tech's career leader in sacks was voted by his team as "most likely to be an NFL star." Many stars on the defensive side are made with sacks and that is what Attaochu is particularly good at.
Pass rushers come in a lot of forms in the draft and sometimes they can do other things. Linebackers have to be able to cover the pass in addition to rushing the QB and defensive ends need to be adept run defenders as well as bringers of the edge rush. Of course, defensive scheme also plays a role in the success players will have as pass rushers. In the case of Attaochu, some scouts think if you put him on the field and ask him to get the quarterback, that's what he will do.
ESPN's Todd McShay said he feels Attaochu has the most upside of all back seven players in the draft.
"I love watching this guy play," McShay said. "He has got the violence, the temperament, flying all over the field, can bend the edge. I think he is the most underrated player in this entire draft."
University of Georgia fans will not call Attaochu underrated. They probably recall his four sacks against the Bulldogs last season and most fans of ACC football will recall how Attaochu had 10.5 sacks in the final six games last year. Even more ACC fans will know Attaochu as No. 5 on the conference's career sack list with 31.5. What it all means is Attaochu can rush the quarterback.
PHOTOS: See Images from Attaochu's College Career
He sat out the NFL Combine while nursing an injury, but recently had his Pro Day and it could be only a matter of time before Attaochu's name will be among those listed as "risers" with just over a month to go before the NFL Draft. Attaochu ran a 4.58 40 to go along with a 37.5-inch vertical, numbers that would include Attaochu among his position's top performers at the Combine.
Attaochu began as a 17-year-old, true freshman in 2010, started GT's bowl game and got the first three sacks of his career. By the time he was done last season, he was considered the best pass rusher in the history of the program. However, past success is not always an indicator of future success. While scouts love Attaochu's work ethic, smarts and production in college, they're not sure where he fits in the NFL.
The plus side of that conundrum is that Attaochu is still young and could be nowhere near his full potential. He's got experience in both 3-4 and 4-3 systems in college and spent time playing as a linebacker and defensive end. On the go in pass coverage as a moving linebacker is not what Attaochu is best at, but there's reason to believe he could improve. By all accounts, Attaochu is a hard-working player, whose experience and success learning a variety of defenses means he's adaptable and coachable and therefore, could very well continue to learn in the NFL.
Currently considered a second- or third-round pick, Attaochu's stock is boosted by what could be. However, what he is currently is a ferocious pass rusher with a motor that doesn't stop and athletic enough to beat opponents with just physical skills. Getting all of that on the second day of the draft should make some team looking to improve their pass rush very happy.

Old Cars for Sale
UGGs for Cheap I am a total car freak and I specialize in old cars put up in the market since they come at a low price and give excellent value for money. I always gets lots of mails from readers asking for tips regarding how to choose from the various old cars for sale.
UGGs Bailey Button Budget/Price This should be finalized before you enter the market or else you will be looking at a lot of cars. Having a fixed budget will give you a shorter shortlist to choose from. Then start looking at the cars that are within the budget. Also remember to keep some money aside for the repairs or maintenance that be required. If you are looking at old cars for sale then it would be stupid to expect a perfect car.
UGGs Bailey Button Requirements Decide what all do you need in a car. Also decide what type of car you are going to buy. If you have a lot of members in your family,cheap ugg boots online, get the SUV but if you have just - people, buy a smaller car and save on the money. Also check if the mileage of the car suits your requirements. Finally, decide what type of engine do you want diesel or petrol. There are dealers having all types of old cars for sale so there wont have any problems finding the right one for you.
UGGs Bailey Button Fuel consumption Fuel prices are fluctuating a lot and hence mileage has become a matter of concern. If you are looking at old cars for sale at online merchants, you will find that all of them mention the estimated mileage of the vehicle. Always assume that the mileage of the vehicle will be - km/litre less than what is shown there.
UGGs Bailey Button Check the history of the car This is really important because it will give you an idea about what to expect from the car. A car with a petrol engine will give an average of , km per year whereas a diesel engine car will average around , km/year. These figures can be relaxed by around ten percent provided the condition of the car is good. However, if the car has traveled more than this distance then I would advice you not to purchase the car. If a three year old car has run more than , km,cheap uggs, then it is not advisable to buy the vehicle unless it is really cheap. Age of the car too is really important. Dont get a really old car because you will be spending a lot of money on maintenance and repairs.
UGGs Bailey Button I usually recommend people to look for cars on the Internet. Most big car manufacturers have their own car business wings. You can contact these dealers directly or purchase through the internet. There are a lot of dealers offering old cars for sale. If you dont rely on the Internet, you can go through the advertisements on local newspaper classifieds. There are some excellent deals for used cars there. Tick the options that you want and then. Finally,clearance ugg, keep an eye open on the any of the auctions that might take place in your neighborhood. I have found some excellent cars in these places.
