Female, 75 years old; experienced PACs or PVC frequently many years ago; controlled with metoprolol until recently. Started getting "paroxysmal" atrial fibrillation about 7 years ago (about the same time I started taking Fosamax). Episodes were not too frequent. Had a "minor" heart attack 2 years ago.

Studies have yielded conflicting results about their use, with some observational studies suggesting that high calcium intake is protective against vascular disease, and others showing that calcium supplements speed vascular calcification and increase mortality in patients with kidney failure and increase cardiovascular events and MI in women.

I felt great until I started Arimidex on Tuesday, and now I feel horrible. I feel constantly tired
my mind is not alert, I'm having trouble focusing on simple puzzles. I've also been emotionally fragile since Tuesday, crying or on the verge of crying. Will this pass? I'm thinking about starting 1/2 a pill for a few nights and working up to my 1mg pill slowly, hoping that this will ease me into the side effects of Arimidex.

Of course, the study with the combination of Premarin
progesterone was halted after researchers found a higher risk of
disease. But the other studies on other estrogen were not halted because there wasn't that finding. So it could be something to consider. Just know that many doctors are skiddish about prescribing it. I wear the estrogen patch because it bypasses the liver and is safer. I was a mess before I went on to estrogen. It has been worth everything for me.

Vitamin E - Almonds are an excellent source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that has been shown to decrease the risk for certain forms of cancer,
cataracts. Vitamin E is also needed for healthy blood cells and tissues. Folic Acid - Almonds, like other fruits and vegetables, make an important contribution to a diet adequate in folic acid, or folate. This important B-vitamin can reduce the risk for neural tube defects (birth defects) and is necessary for making red blood cells.

Sugars this high damage small blood vessels and can lead very quickly to eye, kidney, or

all of these are things that can destroy quality of life. I would encourage you to not rely on a GP for help, but to insist on being referred to an endocrinologist who specializes in type 1 diabetes. You shouldn't have to live this way. One more thing, have you noticed a monthly hormonal pattern to the high glucose levels?

Hi all. New to this. I am a 44 year old woman who is physically fit (gym 5 days a week) and eats pretty well. Approx 5 weeks ago I developed veins showing on both hands. They have not gone away and infact they are bulging most times, and I can "feel them". They have increased and I can see some starting to climb up my forearm now. Before this, my veins barely ever showed.

It sounds like you may have multiple

Do they cause any of your symptoms? 1. the Heart racing you can get a EKG then a 24 hour monitor to see if you have tachycardia. 2. the brain MRI may help figure out whether you have MS, or some other problem causing memory loss. Have any of the doctors given you any clues at all? 3. The mouth sores sound like a lowered immunity, they are usually viral. 4.

The reason I say you should have a biopsy is because I had a friend who had a tumor, it was in his brain, and even the very best doctors took a wait-and-see approach, on account of it hadn't changed and brain surgery can be dangerous. Well, within six months, that tumor went into his lungs,
so his
I don't have that friend anymore. And the reason I say an orthopedist should be doing the treatment for you is because you have a bone tumor.

Hi V,
Thx u so much for the source code, it has eased our work!!!
But the current problem what we are facing with is more wrt the IDP connection, we don't have one test IDP to test the SAML log-in and log-out flow... do u have any suggestions regarding the same as you have a very fine understanding with SAML's interaction with Spring Security??
Thanks again!!!
Hi Shwetha,
I'm glad you found a way to correctly open those .tar.gz files from the repository
Please have a look at http://saml-federation.appspot.com/, it contains a deployed trunk version of the SAML Extension which is configured against the SSOCircle SAML server. You can get an account at http://www.ssocircle.com/en/ and use it for your own testing. To my knowledge this is the easiest way to get started.
Hi V,
We have now deployed the project "spring-security-saml" in our local.
And on running it, we get the idp-selection page with two radio buttons as follows:-
1: pointing to the http://idp.ssocircle.com - On selecting this option and when i click on log-in, it says that "Error 500 - The SAML request is invalid".
2: pointing to the localhost idp - http://localhost:8080/opensso - On selecting this IDP it gives a 404 error( We don't have a localhost idp configured, hence assume think 404-error is valid).
Can you please suggest us if how to go ahead and test the option 1 mentioned above with the Spring 3 (spring-security-saml project provided by you).
And also not sure if how to configure "http://saml-federation.appspot.com/" wrt the spring-security-saml project.
Are we moving in the right direction, kindly guide.
Thanks soooooooooooo much for your co-operation.
Hi ,
I'm new to SAML, and my project needs SAML with spring security implementation.
I did download the code i.e spring-security-se-security/spring-security-saml .
I could not start the server, seems to be some jars are missing.

Châtel is a 5 acre training center and Christian community situated halfway between Lausanne and Geneva, Switzerland. It is a ministry of YWAM INTERNATIONAL & University of the Nations.
The YWAM Châtel Centre has two primary objectives:
Training for students who are interested in learning to minister through an integrated approach to wholeness in counseling and who desire to bless the nations, especially in the developing world, through these skills. There are a variety of 12 week full-time courses relating to the different fields of counseling. A yearly CDTS is a means of equipping people at a crossroads to pursue God's calling for their lives.
Our second objective is to be a community where restoration can happen. Each of us is involved, not only in our area of specialty, but also in the day to day operations of the community. This draws us together and provides an environment where living and learning are interwoven. Through hospitality we provide a place of rest and mediation. The beautiful setting has ministered to many visitors.

Yesterday we had a big family post-4th of July get-together at our house. My grandmother (Granna), my Aunt Josie and her family, my Uncle Alan and his family, my mom, dad, sister and nephew were all there. 16 people total. This was the first time for most of them to see our new house, so we were excited for them to come! I was especially excited for everyone to meet Izzy! Of course, she was (as always) the life of the party! Here's Granna outside in our backyard getting acquainted little miss Izzy Bell…
(And yes, that is a dead hibiscus plant over there….I killed it a few weeks ago and now I'm trying to bring it back to life. We'll see…)
I thought this would be a perfect chance for me to try out my new Martha Stewart Cupcakes book – I picked the Yellow Buttermilk Cupcakes with Fluffy Vanilla Frosting and they were SO good! I think this might just be my new favorite cupcake. The cupcakes are light and moist and the frosting is to die for! Everyone really enjoyed them.
They were supposed to have cute little stars and stripes piped onto them, but we had a minor catastrophe just before everyone arrived (my pot wrack fell off of the wall, shattering my brand new ceramic measuring cups and making a HUGE mess that took forever to clean up!), so I didn't exactly get a chance to do it. Oh well. They still tasted great. And who doesn't love a plain 'ol vanilla cupcake anyway, eh? Ok, so maybe it would've been cuter with the decorations….OH WELL!!
Yellow Buttermilk Cupcakes
-Martha Stewart Cupcakes
3 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (2 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 1/4 cups sugar
5 large whole eggs plus 3 egg yolks, room temperature
2 cups buttermilk, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Sift together both flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium. Add whole eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add yolks, and beat until thoroughly combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of buttermilk, and beating until combined after each. Beat in vanilla.
Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until cupcakes spring back when lightly touched and a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool 10 minutes; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
Fluffy Vanilla Frosting
-Martha Stewart Cupcakes
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 pound (4 cups) confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
With an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Reduce speed to medium. Add the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed; after every two additions, raise speed to high and beat 10 seconds to aerate frosting, then return to medium-high. This process should take about 5 minutes. Frosting will be very pale and fluffy.
Add vanilla, and beat until frosting is smooth. If not using immediately, frosting can be refrigerated up to 10 days in an airtight container. Before using, bring to room temperature, and beat on low speed until smooth again, about 5 minutes.
I think everyone had a great time (especially the kids who spent almost the entire time out in the pool!), and I loved making these great cupcakes and having everyone over for a great 4th of July get-together! I hope everybody had a great holiday weekend with friends and family!

I have noticed in a couple of these pictures that you threaded cute ribbon through the holes in your cake pedestal! LOVE! I need to find a pedestal with holes like that. Where did you find this one, if you don't mind me asking?

The roofers are coming, the roofers are coming
LEXINGTON - The architecture of the Hancock-Clarke House looks a lot like it did in the Colonial era - clapboards, wood-frame construction, and lots of rooms filled with furniture and trinkets from that period.
The roofing, support beams, and some framing are starting to go. That's not bad, considering the house is more than 270 years old and once housed a dozen children.
But local history buffs think the house can be much more. They've begun a $1.1 million restoration, digging into history to try to replicate every detail from bedroom wallpaper to the original color of the exterior walls of the house, which is expected to reopen sometime next year.
"We're very excited to be restoring an important building not only in Lexington his tory, but in American history," said Susan Bennett, director of the Lexington Historical Society.
The home was built as a parsonage in 1737 by the Rev. John Hancock. The Rev. Jonas Clarke took over as minister in Lexington in 1755, bought the home in 1760, and raised his 12 children there. On April 18, 1775, Clarke was hosting two leaders for independence who were fearful of their safety in Boston: Samuel Adams and John Hancock, grandson of the original owner.
Shortly before midnight, Paul Revere rode into town, alerting them and others that the British regulars were coming. A few hours later, just steps away on what is now the Lexington Battle Green, the Revolutionary War began.
The historical society purchased the home, which had fallen into disrepair, in 1896 to save it from demolition. They purchased the house, but not the land, so the society moved the house across the street, restored it, and opened its doors to history-hungry visitors.
Around the same time, the historical society took over two important taverns in Lexington, the Buckman Tavern, which served as a meeting place for Colonial militiamen before the Battle of Lexington, and the Munroe Tavern, which the British used as field headquarters as they retreated from Concord to Boston after the fateful battles of April 19.
The two taverns were completely redone in the early 1900s, and there hasn't been a comparable renovation in Lexington since then, Bennett said.
In the 1960s, the original site of the Hancock-Clarke House was donated to the historical society, which moved the house back to its original spot in 1974. Since opening the house to the public, over a million people have come on tours, Bennett said.
The current restoration was launched with a structural and building-use study two years ago. The money for the repairs and updates is coming from several sources, including: $600,000 from the town's Community Preservation Act funds, $50,000 from the Massachusetts Historical Commission, $250,000 from the Lexington Historical Society's capital campaign fund-raising; and $200,000 from its endowment fund.
In a letter of support for the funding of the project last year, historian David Hackett Fischer, author of "Paul Revere's Ride," called the Hancock-Clarke House "truly of national importance in this history of the United States."
He wrote, "I can think of few sites that bring to life more vividly the drama of the American Revolution."
The goal of the restoration, Bennett said, is to make the house look lively and lived-in - as it did when so many children were raised there.
The original charm and architectural style are to be preserved, while updating mechanical systems and providing access for the disabled.
To accomplish this, the society brought in Deane Rykerson, an architect who specializes in preservation projects, and Anne Grady, an architectural historian.
A huge problem is that the house is splitting in two, the result of an 18th-century construction error that left half of the building at one height, and half at another. Over the years, that led to "some makeshift means of joining [the halves] that plague the house to this day," said Rykerson.
Moving the house back and forth over the last century didn't help matters.
In addition to securing the halves, workers will repair several weakened structural supports. Asbestos roofing shingles installed in the 1930s will be removed, electrical wiring will be brought up to code, and a climate-control system will heat and cool the house inconspicuously.
The exterior will be painted to match the oldest known color of the house, which Bennett and other historians are still researching. Interior shutters, exterior sheathing, clapboards, and trim will all be repaired or replaced as well.
The many rooms will be decorated with period-accurate pieces, such as dark wood table on which Hancock and Adams dined, pewter kitchenware dating from the Colonial era, and 18th century beds with elaborate coverings.

Small Business Financing Now Available for Online Marketing
Boston, MA – October 20, 2010 – Human Companies, the parent company of the popular web services website HumanWebDesigners.com, announced today an ambitious web marketing program aimed at U.S. and Canadian small businesses.
"While the online economy continues to boom, many small businesses in the U.S. still are operating with little or no web marketing. That's a real pity as the economy increasingly shifts to online sales. We wanted to extend that opportunity to smaller operators that might have excellent products and services but lack the online marketing skills to implement a successful web presence," said Aaron Eisendrath, CEO of Human Companies of Boston.
HumanWebDesigners.com is now offering web marketing programs for as little as $49 per month, often waiving set-up fees, as well as providing affordable marketing online.
"Every day we see small businesses with almost nonexistent marketing online or no website at all. They might have made a little effort at one point but not the sort of concerted campaign that garners online marketing success. With about 80% of products and services now being sourced online, this is the business equivalent of death-by-starvation. We understand that sometimes it is difficult to enter into a territory like the online world when you have little experience or lack the resources to get started. Helping small businesses cost-effectively get the leads they need to grow, however, is our specialty," said Eisendrath who recently secured additional private funding to finance sales for the company.
HumanWebDesigners.com recently absorbed a related web services site and has been aggressively growing as both a web design firm and a provider of marketing on line. Search engine optimization (SEO), which involves aiding a website into search engine rankings so that the website gets appropriate customers for its product and services, is the specialty of the company. Originally, HumanWebDesigners.com began by providing popular web designs but after selling its online marketing services wholesale only, HumanWebDesigners.com aggressively grew by offering its wholesale Internet marketing services at a similar price-point to online clients directly.
"Our 'secret sauce', if you will, is offering small businesses marketing they might not normally consider at a very affordable price. You don't have to be one of the so-called 'big boys' to use their techniques. Small business is about rapid growth and in that area we can help," said Eisendrath. "By being able to carry lessons from other industries and locales, HumanWebDesigners.com is able to offer small providers a much larger Internet marketing knowledge base than is usually attributed to a local small business. We are very excited to be doing our part in stimulating business. It is a win-win."
Human Companies, Inc. of Boston offers a variety of small business support services from business to business marketing to back-end optimization including Internet marketing, lead generation, and bookkeeping. The company offers affordable web design, website redesign, and online marketing - particularly search engine optimization (SEO) - through HumanWebDesigners.com (1-888-994-8626)

Milton Davis remembers his late father, Ulysses Davis, hand carving wood in between appointments cutting hair for customers at his popular west Savannah barber shop.
"He called it whittling," explained the 76-year-old retired mechanic and V.A. Hospital volunteer, who is the eldest child of acclaimed folk artist Ulysses Davis. "He was always really good at it."
So good, in fact, that this self-taught artist's collection of more than 230 hand-carved works of art serves as the centerpiece of the Beach Institute in Savannah, attracting visitors from near and far. Known as an outsider artist who operated far beyond the hype and chatter of the mainstream art world, Davis quietly incorporated African, Asian and American themes in his visionary work.
Over the past several years, a selection of 80 items from the Ulysses Davis Folk Art Collection has traveled to the American Folk Art Museum in New York City, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and other top art venues, dazzling viewers and reviewers alike with its spiritual themes, intricate details and singular style.
"In many ways, Ulysses Davis' artwork is a paradox," says Susan Mitchell Crawley, the High Museum's curator of folk art. "Its sources could range from prosaic advertising images to the artist's extravagant imagination, its moods from whimsical fantasy to solemn dignity, its forms from lavishly ornamental to radically simplified. Yet despite these extremes, it is always recognizable as his."

Ulysses Davis was born on Jan. 13, 1913, in the railroad town of Fitzgerald to Mary and Malachi Davis. His father was a railway fireman, while his mother was a homemaker.
The fourth of five children, Davis left school after the fourth grade to work as a railroad blacksmith's assistant to help support his family.
This aspiring wood carver started whittling the family's firewood with a pocket knife as a child.
"His mother burned up a few of his early pieces," said the artist's son Milton Davis. "She needed the wood to heat the house."
The earliest piece in the collection at the Beach Institute, titled "First Man," was carved at the age of 10, shortly after Davis received a pocket knife as a present. That gift would shape his life, ultimately ensuring his creative legacy for generations to come.
In 1942, Davis moved his family to Savannah, where he would live for 48 years, raising six sons and three daughters with his wife, Elizabeth.
When he was laid off by the railroad in the 1950s, he opened the Ulysses Barber Shop in an outbuilding near his home at Bull and 45th Street.
He lined the shelves of his barbershop with his wood carvings, creating a makeshift art gallery, and enjoyed discussing art with his customers.
Davis worked with a wide variety of wood, from mahogany to cedar, as well as discarded shipping material he procured from longshoremen who worked down by the port in Savannah.
He typically created his sculptures, busts, canes and portraits freehand, without drawings, using a hatchet or band saw to start a piece and then finishing it with a chisel or knife.
He designed many of his own tools, applying the metalworking skills he learned as a young man working as a railroad blacksmith.
He even used barber scissors, on occasion, to get just the right texture on his sculptures, which he sometimes adorned with shoe polish, rhinestones and beads.
When reflecting on his own work, the artist said: "These things are very dear to me. They're a part of me. They're my treasure. If I sold these, I'd be really poor."
Enduring legacy
Virginia Kiah, a local art teacher and artist, helped bring national acclaim to Davis and his wood carving skills, attracting attention that led to his inclusion in the 1977 exhibit, "Missing Pieces: Georgia Folk Art: 1770-1976," which was displayed at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
"That was one of his proudest moments," Milton Davis said of his father's participation in the "Missing Pieces" exhibit.
The artist even had the opportunity to present President Jimmy Carter with a hand-carved portrait, which is now on permanent display at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta.
In 1982, a selection of his works were featured in the landmark exhibition "Black Folk in America: 1930-1980" at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. At the opening, Davis was honored by President Ronald Reagan.
Later that year, he enjoyed his first solo exhibition, "Discovering Black Africa in Coastal Georgia" at the King-Tisdell Cottage Museum in Savannah.
In his final years, Davis expressed the wish that the carvings he created over a 60-year period remain together and be preserved in a museum that would be accessible to the public.
When Davis died at the age of 77 in 1990, his children worked to ensure their father's collection would find a permanent home in Savannah.
After a vigorous 18-month campaign, the King-Tisdell Cottage Foundation raised $287,000 to purchase the collection and ensure Davis's legacy. The collection officially debuted in 1996 and has been attracting visitors ever since.
"He sold very little of his work," said Milton Davis said of his father. "The collection is based here in Savannah, and that is what my father wanted."
Savannah treasure
Darlene Wilson, director of the Beach Institute, reports that a wide audience seeks out the Ulysses Davis Folk Art Collection, from artists and university students to former Ulysses Barber Shop customers.
"His craftsmanship and attention to detail is very impressive," she said. "Each piece tells you a story. It's a fabulous collection which has been very well received."
The collection at the Beach Institute includes detailed portraits of U.S. and African leaders, spiritual imagery, patriotic works and utilitarian objects like walking canes and furniture. Davis's best-known series features 40 intricately-carved busts of U.S. presidents, from George Washington through George H.W. Bush.
When highlights from the collection were showcased at the American Folk Art Museum in 2009, The New York Times praised Davis's complexity as an artist: "(H)e wasn't just a patriotic folk artist, or an African-American artist affirming his heritage, or an inward-looking visionary artist. He was all of these, which is to say that no single cliché of 'outsider' art quite fits him."
Despite the fact that Davis's work cannot be easily categorized by art experts, his carvings continue to delight visitors with their imaginative designs, ambitious themes and masterful execution.
"Mr. Davis was not a trained artist," said Rebecca R. Cooper, who serves on the board of directors for the King-Tidsell Cottage Foundation, the organization that oversees the Beach Institute. "He practiced and perfected his work over the years. The collection has been appreciated by people from all walks of life. We are fortunate to have such a treasure here in Savannah."
Self-taught wood carver Ulysses Davis (1913-1990) created intricate works of art at his west Savannah barbershop for decades. A collection of his work is on permanent display at the Beach Institute in Savannah. His carvings have been featured at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the American Folk Art Museum in New York City, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
When "The Treasure of Ulysses Davis" traveled to Atlanta's High Museum of Art, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution named the show one of the top 10 art exhibitions of the year for 2009.

I'm very emotional! in 2006 I was 2 month into my husband being gone for 6 month for Basic training and snapped on our best friend Kenny. At the time Kenny was 20 dating a 14 year old, obviously I didn't approve! I stupidly decided to let them stay at our house for a couple weeks cause they promised not to "do" anything while they were there. After a week of hearing them at night I said it was time to go and wanted them up by 10 to go into town. I woke up fine and tried for 2 hours to get them out of the room so I did the only thing I could think of at the time, I turned on my very loud annoying alarm. After a few minutes he storms out the door and says to me"that's ******* rude Summer." I was shocked! He had never ever talked to me like that before and I just flipped. Screamed at him to get the **** out and when his little ***** girlfriend started talking **** to me and he didn't defend me I was even more shocked!! He's been a brother to me for over 10 years and he chooses her over me!! I slapped him quite a few times and when the ***** started talking more **** I stupidly pulled my husbands loaded 38 out and pointed at me first. When that didn't get a reaction out of him(***** was still talking ****) I pointed it at her and the him. Thank god I didn't twitch cause later I found out just how softly you touch the trigger and it goes off! After everything I ended up going to what they had told my mom and me was a behavioral hospital but when I found out it was a psychiatric ward I flipped out again which made them have to hold me for 3 days. I found it was the best thing for me though, I learned I could control my thoughts and feelings and not let myself be "hijacked by my emotions" as they called it. I did apologize to both of them after wards but we haven't talked since. Can't blame them for not wanting to be around a crazy person. Now it's only crying for me.
I would have flipped out too, i might have shot him, as a victim of childhood abuse i have zero tolerance for pedophiles

Mercedes Benz R Class 2011 car with renewed features and specifications
Some details of the new face lifted Mercedes-R-Class-2011 are finally out in the open. The vehicle was to be shown in the New York motor show. It is also expected to debut in debut at the Detroit auto show in January. This is the second time that the model is being given a face change in order to improve the dismal sales figures. The R class model is expected to roll out from Mercedes-Benz's assembly line in Tuscaloosa, Alabama later this year.
Mercedes-R-Class-2011 is back with a lot more visual changes. From what has been revealed in the photographs it appears that the car has a larger front grill and a greater angular front end. The oval headlights have been replaced with rectangular shaped ones to make the vehicle look more appealing.
The hood (now less angular), side mirrors and front bumper have also been given a new look. The vehicle bears 17-inch, five-spoke aluminum wheels. Under the sports appearance package, the car boasts of AMG-designed 19-inch rims, along with smoked tail light lenses. On the rear end, the bumper has been given a new look.
Coming to the technical specifications of Mercedes-R-Class-2011, the model would be available in two engine choices. These are 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 (2011 R350) or the 210-hp 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel (R350 Bluetec).While the 3.5 liter engine churns up 258 lb-ft of torque, the 3.0 liter Turbo diesel engine would yield a maximum torque of 398 lb-ft. The Mercedes' 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system is prevalent in both gasoline and diesel versions and are connected to the seven-speed automatic transmission for its all wheel drive.
Mercedes-R-Class-2011 hasn't undergone man y changes when it comes to the interiors. The model is still a 6-7 seater.The second row now has a split seating arrangement making space for 7 , however this is optional. Two tones of interiors either beige-on-brown or gray-on-black are now available. As a part of AMG sports interior Nappa leather, sports steering wheel with shift paddles, stainless steel pedals and ambient lighting have been provided.
Mercedes-R-Class-2011 is an effort by Mercedes Benz to regain lost ground. The car maker has come up a long way from the minor makeovers of R Class back in 2007. More details of the model are expected to be out after the New York show.

Quote of the Day
"Once again, he was the only obvious president in the room, much good may that do him. He did not rile up the base. He was not combative. He did not dwell on issues that his base wanted to hear. (If you had "Keystone XL," or "NSA," or "TPP" in your State of the Union drinking game, you probably wound up as the designated driver.) But he was firm on one thing. He is not going to be a lame duck as long as he can still walk. There were a lot of sentences that began with some variation of, "If Congress won't act..." And he can still throw a sneaky right hand over the top.
Now, I do not expect to convince my Republican friends on the merits of this law. But I know that the American people are not interested in refighting old battles. So again, if you have specific plans to cut costs, cover more people, increase choice, tell America what you'd do differently. Let's see if the numbers add up. But let's not have another 40- something votes to repeal a law that's already helping millions of Americans like Amanda.

Mumbai Crime: Model robbed by another model, TV actress among accused
A struggling Bollywood model's house was allegedly robbed by another model, whom she had befriended in Delhi. A TV actress Nalini Negi has also been named as an accused in the case
A struggling Bollywood model was allegedly robbed by another model, whom she had befriended in Delhi. A TV actress Nalini Negi has also been named as an accused in the case. The victim, Renu Shironi, further alleged that cops even refused to register her FIR.
According to Shironi (32), who stays along with her female friend Tanvi Gupta (22) in Shiriniti Heights building in Mumbai, last month both of them had gone to Delhi to attend a fashion show, where they met a model Neha Nangiga, and became very friendly with her. Later, Neha rang up Renu and told her that she is hunting for a flat in Mumbai and wanted to settle down in the city. She requested Renu to allow her to share her flat along with Tanvi.
On September 24, Renu and Tanvi went out of Mumbai for shooting and asked Neha to take care of their flat. When they were keeping their cash and gold inside the locker, Neha saw them. On September 28, they returned to Mumbai but did not check their locker.
Unaware of Neha's intentions, they again went out on October 3 and this time asked Neha to come back late as they were going to attend a party. However, Neha got a duplicate key made, entered the flat when Renu and Tanvi were away, and took away the booty kept in the locker.
According to Renu, after they returned from the party, the cupboard was open and everything was missing from it. "When we inquired with the building watchman, he said Neha madam has visited the building, and was carrying a bag with her when she was going out from the society," the victim stated.
Neha is seen in the CCTV footage along with actress Nalini Negi, who works in a serial and another man, who is seen waiting for her outside the building. The actress Nalini has also been made an accused in the case.
The model alleged that when she, along with her colleague, went to the Bangur Nagar Police station to lodge an FIR, on-duty Assistant Police Inspector (API) SM Kole refused to take her FIR and asked them to give a hand-written complaint.
When contacted, Senior Police Inspector Santosh Bhandare from Bangur Nagar said, "We will take appropriate action in the matter, and if our officer has done anything wrong than we will cross check it." API Kole, meanwhile, said this is their personal matter, which they can solve themselves. He added that he did not ask them to go.
Additional Commissioner of Police Fatteh Singh Patil ordered Bangur Nagar police to lodge an FIR immediately.

Misery (Stalker Hero Mech) Sniper/Fire Support Hybrid Guide
In my long search for finding a good Misery all-round build, I suffered many setbacks. After consulting with several high-level players from the Hell's Black Aces merc-corp, I finally developed a build which is worthy of this web page. A sniper/fire support hybrid build utilizing a pair of Large Lasers, a single ERPPC, and a Gauss Rifle. All of this while still being reasonably heat efficient and using a standard engine. The only downside, in comparison to other Stalker builds, is its relatively low movement speed. This guide will showcase several variations of the same build. Each build has a slightly different focus. Choose the one whichever suits your play-style and needs best.
The first version of the Misery sniper hybrid build trades leg armor and heat efficiency for more utility. ER Large Lasers replace the regular Large Lasers for additional range. The increased effective range will greatly improve your damage dealt values. ER Large Lasers also received a buff in the recent patch. The original version uses two tons of Gauss Rifle ammo. If you are engaged in drawn out fights (which is more likely since 12 vs 12 hit the servers), 20 shots will be expended very quickly. This version uses the additional space and tonnage to fit in a third ton of ammo. The addition of an AMS rounds the package. This version runs very hot, and you will most likely not be able to carry a cool-shot consumable since the Stalker chassis only allows for two module slots (which are most likely taken by Adv Seismic Sensor and Increased Sensor Range).
The following load-out reflects the original version of the build. It has a lesser range, fewer ammo, and no AMS. However, it runs significantly cooler, allowing a skilled pilot to continuously fire for a long time. This version is recommended for more experienced as it requires more skill to dish out the same amounts of damage of the course of a battle. However, it has the potential to be more deadly in the long run.
- Since you are not very fast and lack jump-jets, positioning is key. Only expose yourself from cover to fire one alpha strike. If enemies have spotted you and are returning fire, double back behind cover and find a different spot to peak out from.
- Weapon grouping advice: 1] Gauss Rifle + ERPPC 2] Both (ER) Large Lasers. Be sure to bind the Gauss Rifle and ERPPC to a single weapon group as well. There are situations when you'll want to fire only one of them.
- Try to stay on target while firing the Large Lasers. If you manage to hit the same component for the majority of the duration, you will notice a significant increase in efficiency. Large Lasers do a lot of damage, but over a duration. Remember: Lasers in MWO are no light sabres!
- Enabling Arm-Lock is not recommended for this build. However, whenever you can, try to match both crosshairs before firing a sniper shoot (ERPPC + Gauss Rifle) for maximum pin-point damage.
- If you are running on high heat, get behind cover and cool down for a few seconds. If that is not possible, place one or two well aimed shots with your Gauss Rifle. Then finish the exposed target with an alpha strike.
Here are some end-of-round screenshots. They are not the best, but I wanted to include some 12vs12 action!

Rejoice Together – part 2
"So that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together." Jesus of Nazareth, The Gospel of John
It has been my experience that the emphasis of this verse is on the "reaping"—the gleaning of the fruit, corresponding to the practice in ministry of looking for opportunities to "bring people to Christ".* In my previous post, I highlighted that "reaping" wasn't the only activity mentioned by Jesus in this moment. In fact, he seemed to put reaping in its place alongside the need for sowing or other activities for proper farming – or spiritual growth.
The analogy that Jesus is drawing here relates to what is needed in the whole process of the spiritual journey to Jesus the Christ. In the last post I made my observation, in this one I want to ask several questions.Read More» Posted by birdandkey | 2 comments

Customer satisfaction with IT service and support surged in the first half of 2010 thanks to a historically large IT refresh rate, according to a survey by analyst firm Technology Business Research.
That surge contrasted with dismal customer satisfaction the year before as customers struggled to keep older systems running longer than normal in the face of the economic downturn, Hampton, N.H.-based Technology Business Research wrote in a research report released Friday.
The surge in satisfaction was concentrated in the second quarter of 2010, which TBR said suggested that the typical six-month to nine-month lag between new spending and improved satisfaction was not a factor.
And that, TBR wrote, indicates that such satisfaction is probably only temporary. "We expect this surge to be limited in scope, as the elation around new spending wears off as customers begin to get down to real business," it wrote.
The dive in customer service and support satisfaction in 2009, followed by the surge in the first half of 2010, impacted all the vendors cited in the TBR survey, including Dell Services, HP Services, IBM Global Services and Lenovo Services.

1) I dont have a teacher certificate, so I will have to be working on certification training and testing while teaching what looks like a pretty full load
2) I have never taught before, and it has been 27 years since I was in high school
3) I have good math skills, but it has been a long time since I worked Algebra problems.
4) The computer class is based on Office 2007. When I bought my last laptop, I downgraded to office 2003 because I found 2007 peculiar and hard to use.
Things I am encouraged about:
1) They tell me they will hand pick the students in my classes and give me students who are smart, motivated, and want to learn.
2) This school system still uses the paddle, and the principal assures me that discipline is maintained in the school.

I used the paviors from Wickes to edge a small flower bed last year and they seem much stronger than bricks and less likely to suffer frost damage (that's what happened with the old bricks that were already there). Think they were about 38p each.
I think the paviors are best option as bricks deteriorate but I expect the guys in builders merchants will give good advice on the merits or otherwise. I've always found B's Merchants very good for hard landscaping stuff. In last house we used a local supplier for gravel and they were terrific- great products,prices and service.

Pam, didn't know you could get a climbing fuchsia. I really like the sound of that. Used to grow lots of fuchsia, but got bored with them. I still like the delicate ones more than the big blousy ones. Sometimesfucsias look as though they are made of wax.
Right, I'm off outside now for dfinite.
06 Apr 2013 16:02
The sun has got his hat on, hip, hip, hip , hooray
have been outside without my trusty yellow fleece.
Pam I have just potted them up after a good soak and they are now sunning themselves n the GH. I will wrap them up with the other babies tonight though.
I was just wondering how they climb?
Have just evene doff the opposite front border to the big one. This one just goes straight across but is slightly wider than it was. Not such hard work.
06 Apr 2013 16:13
Afties all. Have spent a little while sitting out enjoying the sun!!! (I know!!!) and trying to decide where to plant the shrubs I already have. Round my new paving in case I failed to make that clear. Came in to find requirements for shrubs I have so far. Now I really need to find somewhere to obtain reasonably priced 'little stuff' - small lavenders and thymes for starters as GC pots work out rather pricey.
Great cake, Bjay - get practising!

Pumpkin Decorating
Pumpkin Carving Tips
- How to Choose – Choose pumpkins in a variety of sizes. One side of each pumpkin should be well-shaped for carving. Avoid any with large blemishes, since they may rot more quickly.
- Design Ideas – Draw your ideas on blank paper until you have a design that you like, and that you think will fit well on the shape of each pumpkin. Using your drawing as a guide, lightly draw the design onto the pumpkin with a washable marker. You can also use stencils for more elaborate patterns. Many are available online and in carving kits.
- Create an Opening – Cut out the top of the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp. A large spoon may help with this step. Save the pumpkin seeds if you plan to roast them.
- Time to Carve! Gently push your knife into the pumpkin and use a sawing motion to cut out the shapes. Go very slowly as you near the end of a pattern, so you don't cut farther than intended. As the pieces are cut, push them until they drop inside the pumpkin. Then reach in and remove them. Larger areas like the mouth shape will need to be cut out in pieces.
- Add the Candle – Test your jack-'o-lantern by placing a candle inside on the bottom of the pumpkin. Light the candle, replace the pumpkin lid and turn off the lights. If the candle won't stay lit, carve some of the shapes a bit larger, to let in more air flow.
- Now put your jack-'o-lantern near your front door, and remember to blow out the candle before going back inside.
- Roasted Pumpkin Seeds – What to do with the pumpkin seeds? Roast them as a snack! Try our recipe for homemade roasted pumpkin seeds.
No Carve Ideas for Decorating Pumpkins
Polka Dotted Pumpkin –
Choose three paint colors that go well together.
Paint circles all over the pumpkin, alternating the three different colors.
When finished, you will have a polka dot design.
This idea looks great in groups of three pumpkins. If you decide to make a group, choose pumpkins with different sizes and colors for a more interesting display.
Leaf Shapes –
Collect several attractive leaves to use as your guide.
Hold a leaf against the pumpkin, and trace around it.
Trace as many leaves as you wish, to create a good design.
Then paint the leaves using different paint colors.
Kitty Cat Pumpkin –
You can use either a black permanent marker or paint for this design.
Turn your pumpkin on its side and draw a cat face on the bottom.
Include eyes, nose, mouth and whiskers.
Attach two triangles of colored craft foam to a toothpick or wooden skewer. These will be the ears.
Press the ears into the pumpkin. Set the pumpkin against a step to hold it in place.
Glowing Black Pumpkin –
For a different take on pumpkin decorating, try this design.
Use a foam craft pumpkin from the craft store and cut a hole out of the bottom. This provides an opening for clear xmas lights.
Then drill holes all over the pumpkin using a drill.
After the holes are drilled, cover the whole pumpkin with glossy black spray paint.
Try it, the effect when the lights shine through all the holes is really unique.
Mummy Pumpkin –
Draw two black oval eyes on your pumpkin.
Or you can use large googly eyes.
Then wrap the pumpkin in first aid gauze to resemble a mummy, leaving the eyes peeking out through the gauze.

Allegorical figure by Bernini in clay
Originally uploaded by betsythedevine
Harvard's art museums are just about to close for five long years, as the dignified public spaces where they have been housed get replaced by some modern architecture I'm sure I won't like.
So even while racing around to unpack and repack, I did make time to revisit my favorite thing there, a more or less random collection of clay sketches Bernini made for his massively multiplayer baroque marble masterpieces.
If you get there before June 30, you can see them too.
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up an image of Minerva,
Bernini's quick clay sketch of her has brought
Me more to meditate on than a casual observa might think I deserva.

Dunno if this has been reported previously, but I haven't seen it (then again, I haven't been paying much attention of late): John Rehm, who got his start at the long-gone John Harvard's Brew House on the Main Line and has been at Yards Brewing for several years since, is now at Two Roads Brewing in Connecticut where he will work with the legendary Phil Markowski. Kudos to the always-informed Matt Guyer for bring this to my attention yesterday when we had one of those historic moments where both he and I were at the Beer Yard at the same time. Coincidentally enough, a press release arrived this morning from Brad Hittle, the managing partner of the team behind Two Roads, which should be making beer this Fall if things go as planned.
[Updated] Thanks to Steve Mashington, Philly Beer Geek (officially), for reminding me that John Rehm stayed with the original brewery (which became Philadelphia Brewing Co.) when the Yards partners split up in 2007 and remained there until taking this new position. My bad for just reading the press release and not thinking and remembering. Told ya I wasn't paying much attention lately.SHARE

This is an invitation from our electronics campaigners, to the industry, to show off the best they've got on the market:
Greenpeace International will be releasing the third edition of the Green Electronics Product Survey at the end of 2010. Greenpeace is now searching for electronics companies that manufacture laptops or netbooks, PCs, TVs, monitors, and/or mobile phones/smart phones to submit technical information to highlight their greenest products on the market.
The deadline to submit all product information is August 20, 2010.
Each company is invited to submit three products in each category. We will then rate the submitted product information based on our criteria. The results of these surveys will be released in our next edition of the report, published on our website and released to journalists.
Since August 2006 we have assessed the environmental policies of consumer electronics companies through our Guide to Greener Electronics.
Companies are making increasingly stronger commitments to eliminate toxic chemicals, increase their products' energy efficiency and improve their recycling efforts by embracing financial responsibility for their electronic waste. With this product survey we seek to comprehensively assess the state of green products coming into the global marketplace, looking even beyond our initial criteria in the Guide to Greener Electronics.
Eoin Dubsky is a Community Communications Specialist at Greenpeace International, a father of two, a peace activist and a technology tinkerer.

My husband Joe is wonderful... he works 12 hour rotating shifts and comes home takes a shower and instantly sends me away for a break he will cook supper if it's not started and bathe Caroline with out being asked. Caroline will fall asleep 20 min. faster for him and chants his name all day long (she's 10 months) I have the dream husband who rubs my feet at the end of the day and draws me a bubble bath with a glass of wine. But when Caroline does things for him that she won't do for me like take a bottle or quit crying eat her dinner or giggle I want to slap him! I don't know why but I get so hurt and angry and I know there are times he sees it in my eyes. This man who pampers me and allows me to stay home with my daughter and has given me everything I ever wanted asking for nothing in return doesn't deserve my snide remarks or my jealousy of his relationship with our daughter but that's what he gets w/o me even thinking about it.... Am I a terrible wife or is this normal? Should I seek help for my frustration or just realize it's part of married life?!?!

Napoli are prepared to make Cristian Chivu their highest paid player in order to sign him from Inter this summer.
The Romanian, 31, will be available on a free transfer at the end of the campaign should he not extend his deal with the Nerazzurri in the meantime.
Although his agent has insisted that they have not spoken to any other clubs [12], calciomercato.com is suggesting that Napoli have been in touch.
Chivu, who currently earns €3.5m a season at San Siro, will be offered a contract worth €2.5m net – around €300,000 more a season than Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi.
The Stadio San Paolo outfit are apparently prepared to offer the former Roma and Ajax player a four-year deal.
Chivu, who has been mainly used as a left-back at San Siro, would seemingly be a good fit in Walter Mazzarri's three-man defence.

late November 2010 fortnight's favourites
Howdy, folks. Sometimes it is easy to assemble a « fortnight » feature, sometimes not. This time it has not been that easy, I don't know why. I tried to vary tempos, origin, labels, and I am not sure I did succeed. Only your visits and interest could say I was O.K.
First in this new serie, CECIL CAMPBELL, backed by the Tennessee Ramblers. He was steel player (born 1911) in the Virginia/North Carolina region, and found moderate but constant success with his records on RCA-Victor. Here I've chosen his 1951 « Spookie Boogie« ; he explains in his own words what he wanted to do with this tune:
He was looking for an « …unusual hollow type of rattling sound designed to send cold chills rushing down the spine. » He couldn't find that sound on the musical instruments. But as fate would have it, one of the members of the Tennessee Ramblers had false teeth and that mysterious sound that appears on the tune « Spooky Boogie » was made by a pair of chattering false teeth. » Later on, he was to have a minor Rockabilly classic in 1957 on M-G-M (12487) called « Rock and Roll Fever« .
From Kentucky comes now JIMMIE OSBORNE, the « Kentucky Folk Singer ». He had a string of releases on KING, with strong success, among them the amusing « Automobile baby« . Osborne played the Louisiana Hayride, as well as the Opry, until his suicide in 1957, at the early age of 35.
On to Texas. FRED CRAWFORD is a relatively well-known artist, whose 9 Starday singles were of constantly highest musical level. « Cornfed Fred », as he liked to be called, was a long-time D.J. on KERB radio station of Kermit, and considered himself more a radio man than an artist. Here below is « You Gotta Wait« , a very nice 1954 Bopper. He later went to D, and committed a pop song, « By The Mission Walls », whose main claim to fame is the backing by no one but Buddy Holly.
Then TEXAS BILL STRENGTH, who had on Coral Records « Paper Boy Boogie« . Another version does exist by Tommy Trent on Checker 761 from 1952. I don't know which one came first. The song was even revived by Hank Williams as a demo. Strength (1928-1973) had a long carreer, beginning on radio KTHT, Houston, in 1944, and recording for 4 Star, Capitol, Sun and Nashville. He re-recorded « Paper Boy Boogie » on Bangar as late as 1965.
During the Sixties, ARK records from Cincinnati did issue many a fine disc, mainly in Bluegrass or Sacred. In a past fortnight I included a Jimmy Murphy song, which I consider one of his best, « I Long To Hear Hank Sing The Blues« . Here we have a pseudonym, and there is not any chance, I'm afraid, to discover who really was TEXAS SLIM. A very superior double-sided « When I'm old And Gray » and « Look What You Gone And Done To Me » (ARK # 309). Stunning association of banjo and steel. Hear it!
Finally a classic R&B rocker: « Flat Foot Sam » by T.V. SLIM & His Heartbreakers. Hope you enjoy the selections! Bye.

Boro draw some comfort
Turf Moor
Tue 19th Feb 7.45pm
Attendance: 12,394
Middlesbrough achieved their first draw in twenty-one games as they couldn't be separated with Burnley at Turf Moor. It was also Boro's first clean-sheet on their travels since making the trip to Nottingham Forest back in early November.
The visitors included Scottish international Stephen McManus in defence for the first time since October while Marvin Emnes led their attack and the versatile Nicky Bailey filled in at right-back.
But it was goalkeeper Jason Steele reacting well to keep out Brian Stock before Chris McCann hoisted over the crossbar. Kieran Tripper then despatched a 23-yard free-kick wide while Dean Marney tested Steele again with a header.
Burnley continued to dominate the action after the interval and Boro manager Tony Mowbray reacted with a change as he quickly introduced substitute Mustapha Carayol. He was soon fouled by Kevin Long on the edge of the area and Grant Leadbitter rolled a free-kick for former Clarets defender Andre Bikey to drill wide.
Further substitutions were made by the visitors and another of them, Ishmael Miller, miskicked from a late Carayol cross while a third, Curtis Main, spectacularly hooked onto the the top of the net from an angle before home keeper Lee Grant gratefully claimed Carayol's late corner underneath his crossbar.
Burnley: Grant, Trippier, Lafferty, Shackell, Long, McCann, Marney, Stanislas, Stock (Vokes 70), Paterson (Treacy 70), Austin
subs (unused): Jensen, Edgar, Mills, Bartley, Richards
Middlesbrough: Steele, Bailey, McManus, Bikey, Friend, R. Williams, Leadbitter, McEachran, Halliday (Miller 73), Smallwood (Carayol 53), Emnes (Main 68)

OPINION: By Dr. Steven Lambert
Written: Thursday, April 4, 2013
Today, as I write, this nation remembers the shocking and horrifying shooting of Civil Rights Movement icon, Martin Luther King, Jr.—45 years ago today at 6:01 PM on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. A single .30-caliber rifle bullet entered King's right cheek, traveled through his neck, severing his spinal cord, stopping finally at his shoulder blade. Blood gushed so profusely from the gaping wound he would bleed out in minutes. The impact of the projectile was so forceful it blew his necktie off his neck. Though King within minutes was transported to a nearby hospital, where emergency surgery was immediately initiated, it proved futile. Doctors pronounced the beloved prominent civil rights leader dead at 7:05 PM. He was only 39 years old.
I remember like it was yesterday the profound sorrow, sadness, and disbelief I felt as a recently married nineteen year-old teenager expecting the birth of my first child only two months hence at those first numbing television news-reports of the senseless slaying. Those feelings, echoed as they were by an entire nation of just over 200-Million people at the time, were so painfully reminiscent of those just beginning to heal wounds foisted upon the nation by the surreal assassination of President John F. Kennedy that transpired, with the seemingly never-ending television reports replete with firsthand film footage, virtually before our eyes, less than five years prior.
Only an infinitesimally few still-living Boomers do not carry somewhere in their psyche the cumulative of intense sentiments with which we were all stricken from the brutal executions of three of the most prominent leaders in our nation at the time: JFK, MLK, and RFK. Forty-five and 50 years this year, respectively, the pain and mourning of those events, remain with me, to the extent that I still can barely watch news reports and documentaries recounting them. I cannot fully or properly explain to this day what I felt as a 14-year old teenager personally that day when JFK was slain, except to say that there's an ocean of mourning still flooding my soul. A similar reservoir of lamentation exists therein concerning the RFK and MLK murders as well.
King had relatively quickly become the most recognizable name in the then nationally known Civil Rights Movement. It was the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955, that catapulted the charismatic and inspiring orator to center-stage in the then developing movement. King advocated, sometimes pleaded, for a nonviolent civil-disobedience methodology to gain national attention and empathy for a gradual systematic securing of equal civil rights for "negro"—the still commonly used term King himself used in mid-20th Century—Americans. "King believed that organized, nonviolent protest against the system of southern segregation known as Jim Crow laws would lead to extensive media coverage of the struggle for black equality and voting rights."[1] In 1957 King, Ralph Abernathy, and a number of other civil rights proponents founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which "was created to harness the moral authority and organizing power of black churches to conduct non-violent protests in the service of civil rights reform."[2]
No one did more in the struggle for civil rights than Martin Luther King, Jr. There is, of course, a long honor roll of others who put their lives, the lives of their families, their fortunes, and their futures on the line in the cause of placing the systematic oppression and suppression of black Americans in the national spotlight, some of whose names are well-known, and a host of others not so well known. They all qualify, especially those who endured the brutal persecution and attacks on their physical person as well as their psyches in those dark days of the 50s, 60s, and 70s before the first fledgling semblances of "social justice" and "racial equality" began to be achieved, to be held in the highest esteem and everlasting remembrance for their contributions to the movement's achievements. If MLK himself were here today, doubtless wherever his image or likeness in the form of photographs, plaques, and statues appears, he would give effusive tribute to all those who courageously co-labored with him under real threat of unimaginable losses of every kind, including the ultimate losses, insisting that it be known that every single one of those brave souls who marched the many marches, rode the tortuous bus rides, stood helplessly in the peaceable public demonstrations, passively endured the dangers and humiliation of inhumane fire-hose hosings, police-dog attacks, the vicious threatenings of murderous mobs of teeth-gnashing racial bigots, and say that every one of them are heroes and should be honored and remembered right along with him. And, he would be absolutely right!
What those heroic, yet "ordinary" people, accomplished in those dark and depressing decades of the 50s, 60s, and 70s in laying the groundwork for the progressive securing of civil rights, racial equality, social justice, and so on, is deserving of every kind and quantity of regard and honorific commemoration that can be bestowed, and anyone who would so deign to in any way denigrate or defame such an inspirational, instructive, and noble legacy is deserving of the strongest denunciation and repudiation.
In no way would I propose to do that. Nor am I, and I mean no offense to anyone. However, my personal conviction is that from a theological perspective, it is vital to understand that while the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement (CRM) he spearheaded for more than a decade is highly laudable for the voluminous victories obtained with respect to manifold social inequities and injustices, if the integrity of the legacy is to be preserved, it must be bifurcated and distinguished from the spiritual appurtenances historically associated with it. The fact is: it was not the spiritual aspects associated with the movement that won the victories that were won, but rather the hard-fought battles prosecuted on the legal and political battlefields. The spiritual overtones and associations with particularly black churches in America no doubt provided the inspiration needed on a human level to participants in the expansive and enduring war, but it was not the rectitude or the supposed empowerment of the spiritual theosophies—namely, the social gospel and so-called Black Liberation Theology—that secured the victories and the spoils of war.
The two aspects must be bifurcated if the integrity of the legacy is to be preserved because, for one reason, it is common knowledge that Martin Luther King Jr. as well as many of his colleagues and co-laborers in the Civil Rights Movement were in no way paragons of morality or spirituality, despite the fact that many of them were ordained ministers. As the Wikipedia article on King puts it, "Yet he was a man, not a God. He was most often overworked and overtired. And he had a fondness for the private company of women."[3] Many SCLC and CRM ministers in that day smoked and imbibed, and a smaller number were reputed to be users of illegal drugs. There's no secrets revealed here.
FBI agents investigated him for possible communist ties, recorded his extramarital liaisons and reported on them to government officials, and on one occasion, mailed King a threatening anonymous letter that he interpreted as an attempt to make him commit suicide.[4]
On a spiritual plane, there were/are many problems and controversial issues represented with the SCLC and CRM participants and leaders. They are too numerous to delineate here, but the doctrine and theology of MLK himself and that of many others is quite suspect juxtaposed to traditional Christian orthodoxy. Though MLK grew up as the son of a longtime Baptist preacher well-known and regarded in his own right, the doctrinal beliefs of Junior as to their consistency with Christian orthodoxy were questionable from an early age.
King was originally skeptical of many of Christianity's claims. At the age of thirteen, he denied the bodily resurrection of Jesus during Sunday school. From this point, he stated, 'doubts began to spring forth unrelentingly.' However, he later concluded that the Bible has 'many profound truths which one cannot escape' and decided to enter the seminary.[5]
King also, in essence, espoused the so-called "social gospel" now so prevalent in black American churches, the fallacy and ineffectiveness I will be addressing in a future article here on the Spirit Life Magazine. The specifics and thrust of the social gospel so closely resemble the teachings of socialism, communism, and Marxism that it has always been problematic to orthodox theologians and ministers of many Christian denominations and groups. But, more importantly to the topic here, the teachings of the social gospel so closely paralleled the tenets of socialism and Marxist communism and was so widely preached in black churches in the years before his assassination that many in the halls of government were justifiably concerned that King—and others in the movement—was a Communist and possibly a Communist operative for foreign governments:
The FBI, under written directive from Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, began tapping King's telelphone in the fall of 1963. Concerned that allegations of communists in the SCLC, if made public, would derail the administration's civil rights initiatives, Kennedy warned King to discontinue the suspect associations, and later felt compelled to issue the written directive authorizing the FBI to wiretap King and other SCLC leaders. J. Edgar Hoover feared Communists were trying to infiltrate the Civil Rights Movement, but when no such evidence emerged, the bureau used the incidental details caught on tape over the next five years in attempts to force King out of the preeminent leadership position.[6]
Personally, I do not believe that Martin Luther King, Jr., was in any way a Communist collaborator or operative, though I cannot say the same regarding some of his closest associates, and do believe Communist/Marxist infiltration of SCLC and the CRM was a plausible possibility then, and further believe that today there are myriad SCLC, CRM, and black church leaders and members who are thoroughly steeped in socialism, communism, and Marxism due to heavy indoctrination with extreme forms of the social gospel and Black Liberation Theology. These avowed Marxists—of all races—pose a clear and present danger to America both now and to its future, and constitute, I believe, the "majority" of the electorate who elected and re-elected the first avowed Marxist to ever occupy the White House.
