FLASHBACK: Jury Finds MLK Was Killed by Government Conspiracy, King Family Agrees
Submitted by humanic on Fri, 01/25/2013 - 17:13TheEndRun.com
January 25, 2012
This month, we celebrated what would have been Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 84th birthday, were he alive today. In honor of this occasion, I'd like to first highlight this short video, produced by journalist Barrie Zwicker, which provides a clear, concise overview of the realities regarding the assassination of this national civil rights and anti-war icon on April 4, 1968. (The book mentioned in the video is An Act of State: The Execution of Martin Luther King.)
(Mods: Please embed)
As explained in the video, decades after King's death, there now exists a large body of evidence indicating that his assassination was not the work of "lone gunman" James Earl Ray, but a conspiracy involving multiple governmental agencies, including the FBI and Memphis Police Department. From March 13, 1969, until the day of his death in 1998, Ray had always maintained that he was an innocent patsy, or scapegoat, who had been duped at the very last minute by the conniving lawyer who had offered to represent him into entering a guilty plea instead of going to trial as planned. (This guilty plea is often misleadingly referred to as a "confession.")
It took Dr. William F. Pepper until 1988, twenty years after King's death, to decide fully and conclusively that Ray was telling the truth.
Pepper had been a close colleague and friend of Dr. King in the final year before his assassination. The two had met in early 1967, after King had seen a series of disturbing and heart-breaking photographs in Ramparts magazine which were taken by Pepper the previous year during a visit to Vietnam. They depicted some of the countless thousands of children who had been killed, maimed, or left homeless by American weapons of war, including napalm and white phosphorus. These and other photos (and anecdotes) shared with him by Pepper deeply moved and disturbed Dr. King, and ultimately had a serious influence on his decision to come out strongly against the war a short time later.
Even before joining the anti-war movement, King had already been a major target of the FBI's COINTELPRO, which engaged in a "no holds barred" covert operation to surveil, intimidate, "completely discredit," and "destroy" him as a leader of the civil rights movement by any means necessary, as documented in great detail years later by the Church Committee in its Final Report. However, when he came out against the Vietnam War, this caused even more concern by "the powers that be." As revealed by the Church Committee (Volume 7, Book III, p. 173-174):

Also has a section about MLK & his assassination. It's a really long six part series that touches on JFK, RFK, etc. The MLK section is the last part (Part 6).

Reminds me
Of current engagement of a "no holds barred" covert operation to "completely discredit," and "destroy" Rand Paul as a leader of the liberty movement by any means necessary, as tirelessly seen here.

I was in Memphis last week over the MLK holiday.
The National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel is an awesome spectacle to behold.
I encourage everyone who happens to be in Memphis to visit the Museum. It costs 3 dollars to get inside.
By comparison, I think it costs something like 32.00 to visit Graceland.
You will, unfortunately, see that the museum's exhibits are heavily biased towards James Earl Ray as the "lone assassin". Perhaps, we can help change that perception with a continuing expose of this information.
To be at that spot, though, transcends who was guilty. It is a moving and hallowed area to be within.
One overriding theme of the museum that I found to be important is not just "who" killed Dr. King but "what" killed Dr. King.
We all fully understand that for funding to come from ANY "government" entity the "government line" must be followed (27 million dollars was allocated for this Museum).
Perhaps this is the way the truth is trying to be exposed by those that know. To see the cracked open window as it was, the bath tub, the view of the window from the Motel, and the very close proximity of the shooter and the balcony, is sobering. The bushes and weeds may be gone but the area where the man was seen crouching is still intact, as it was on April 4th, 1968.
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!

Very intersting, thanks for sharing your experience
Interesting to know that those vantage points are all still in tact. Made me think of Bill Hicks talking about The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza.

Coretta Scott King, MLK's wife...
"There is abundant evidence of a major high level conspiracy in the assassination of my husband, Martin Luther King, Jr. And the civil court's unanimous verdict has validated our belief. I wholeheartedly applaud the verdict of the jury and I feel that justice has been well served in their deliberations. This verdict is not only a great victory for my family, but also a great victory for America. It is a great victory for truth itself.
It is important to know that this was a SWIFT verdict, delivered after about an hour of jury deliberation. The jury was clearly convinced by the extensive evidence that was presented during the trial that, in addition to Mr. Jowers, the conspiracy of the Mafia, local, state and federal government agencies, were deeply involved in the assassination of my husband. The jury also affirmed overwhelming evidence that identified someone else, not James Earl Ray, as the shooter, and that Mr. Ray was set up to take the blame.
I want to make it clear that my family has no interest in retribution. Instead, our sole concern has been that the full truth of the assassination has been revealed and adjudicated in a court of law" (Source link for quote in the article)

Dexter Scott King (MLK's son)...
"...this verdict was not, as has been reported, a conspiracy that said others were involved other than James Earl Ray. That is not what that jury voted on. I want to be clear about that. They clearly voted on evidence that stated that James Earl Ray was not the shooter, that he was set up, that he was an unknown [unwitting] patsy. That Lloyd Jowers, along with his co-conspirators, that the jury also concluded involved state, local and federal agencies."

Is The PS2 Your Next DVD Player?
CmdrTaco posted more than 14 years ago | from the its-not-all-roses dept.
180Si V reader writes "In the Sony PlayStation2 as a DVD Player, SE tells how to get a DVD system when you buy a PS2. They think that the DVD functionality of the PS2 is the one brilliant move Sony made in this otherwise unimpressive launch. In Japan I heard that most of the purchases were because people wanted a cheap full featured DVD." The article discusses the elitism in every industry (but specifically in home audio) and talks about the practical problems (controlling your DVD player with a remote on a wire?) to video/audio quality compared with a more expensive DVD player.

The 'Civil Justice Reform: Effective Court Management' project works to strengthen the institutional framework of the civil courts of Uzbekistan, through creating favourable conditions for the further improvement of civil justice both in legislation and in practice. It works to enhance the accessibility of justice through e-Justice implementation, to improve court decisions, to enhance the enforcement of court decisions, and to increase public awareness of the available legal remedies for obtaining civil justice.
In recent years the Government of Uzbekistan has made considerable efforts to enhance the national justice system, specifically through the adoption of the 'Concept of Enhanced Reform and Liberalisation of the Justice System' and the law 'On Courts'. This legislation has helped to specialise courts, to ensure that they enforce their own decisions, to ensure that best international practices are incorporated into the civil justice system, and to ensure that conditions are created for the system's continued liberalisation.
However, despite these efforts, a number of problems are still faced in regards to court availability, transparency and case delays. There is also room for improvement in institutional frameworks, court administration and efficiency, and in interaction between civil courts and other government departments.

Vertigo is a type of dizziness in which you feel like you're moving or spinning. It is different from lightheadedness or the sensation that you are going to faint. The most common type of vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. This means it happens suddenly and in relation to the position and movement of your head. Other causes can be more serious, but are much less common.
The inner ear is concerned mainly with hearing and balance. Three circular tubes called semicircular canals are strategically placed in all three planes within each ear. These very small, fluid-filled canals tell our brain which position our head is in. When we move, the fluid moves and stimulates nerves to the brain, telling it we are moving.
Individuals with vertigo get a false sensation of movement when they are at rest. It's similar to how you feel if you spin around in place several times. When you stop, you feel like you're still spinning. This is called rotational vertigo. It can occur at any time, but most commonly it starts with a position change, lying down or sitting up from lying down.
Benign positional vertigo is due to tiny calcium debris within the canals. The debris moves within the fluid causing the fluid to stimulate the nerves in the absence of body movement. Lying perfectly still can calm the movement of the calcium debris and the fluid, allowing the sensation to dissipate.
Other causes of vertigo include infection within the inner ear, migraine headaches, inflammation of the nerves (neuronitis), head trauma, Meniere's disease, multiple sclerosis and, rarely, tumors. Additionally, as we age, our propensity for developing vertigo increases.
Infections within the inner ear that lead to vertigo are called labyrinthitis. They can be due to either viral or bacterial agents. Viral infections are much more common, arising from the same germs that cause the common cold.
Meniere's disease is a specific inner ear disorder that is associated with three cardinal features: hearing loss, ringing in the ears and vertigo. Individuals with this condition have sudden onset, intense vertigo, usually associated with nausea and vomiting. Meniere's and other types of severe vertigo can be very debilitating, preventing the individual from performing normal daily activities.
Most cases of vertigo that I see in the office are due to labyrinthitis. Of these, the majority are related to colds, allergies or other inflammation within the inner ear. These cases of vertigo are generally self-limiting, lasting from a few hours to a few days. More severe cases can, however, last for several weeks.
It is advisable to see your doctor if you experience persistent or repeated vertigo. A physical examination will allow your doctor to determine if the symptoms can be simply treated with medications or if further studies are needed to look for a deeper cause.
Medical treatment is aimed at quieting the inner ear. Antihistamines, such as meclizine, or anti-nausea medications are used to treat the symptoms. In more intense cases, anti-inflammatory drugs, diuretics and/or sedatives may be necessary. With benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, head positioning maneuvers and exercises can be performed to settle the calcium debris in the canals.

Research Interests
Our research activities have emphasized the development of genetic systems in gram positive lactic acid bacteria and the use of genomic approaches to improve cultures for bioprocessing applications in food. The overall goal of the program is to provide avenues for improvement and diversification of food bioprocessing and preservation systems through genetic investigation and modification of lactic acid bacteria. Our major research contributions have been primarily in five areas. 1. Genomic and comparative genomic analysis of lactic acid bacteria and their bacteriophages. 2. Definition of gene directed mechanisms that protect the dairy lactococci from attack by bacteriophages. 3. Characterization of the biochemical and genetic properties of bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria. 4. Development of cloning and expression vectors (mobilization, expression, integration, secretion) for genetically ill�defined bacteria important in food bioprocessing or probiotic applications. 5. Genetic and physiological studies on intestinal Lactobacillus species to investigate and expand their potential beneficial roles in vivo.

I can understand maybe 1 tank, 1 healer and 2-3 dps on standby, however, I feel keeping each standby out of the loop for months on end is also unacceptable. If you are over-recruiting, then you should be using a raid rotation that way people on standby aren't wasting there time in-game.

I happened upon this yesterday over at jesusneedsnewpr.net (via Christian Nightmares via The Good Athiest) and wanted to share. So first watch the video:
Now your first reaction (if you are Christian and value church) might be to get all defensive, and I can understand that position. (In fact that was my initial reaction, but then I thought on it some more) Before you react from that defensive position I wanted to really engage with what the video was saying so I wrote down all the statements from the video:
- In America, church is serious business and business is good.
- In 1960 there were 16 megachurches across the country.
- Now there are more than 1401.
- The most profitable makes over 70 million a year.
- 63 Million Americans attended a church service last week.
- 21 million tithed at least 10% of their income.
- And churches just don't sell hope, they also sell coffee and DVDs and books and private education.
- How much money is this? Nobody Knows.
- Church income is not taxed and most churches don't even file a return.
- Nearly half of Americans (48%) believe that the federal government should advocate Christian values.
- The federal government has obliged.
- In 2004, faith based organizations received up to 40,000,000,000 in federal grants.
- While many other federal programs had their budgets slashed.
- What are they doing with all this money? (picture of mansions/wealth)
- Aren't there more worthy causes?
- Causes that don't mask their motives in a shroud of holiness?
- Causes that don't manipulate the penitence of their disciples for the lining of their pockets?
- You don't need Church to give.
- Give directly to a cause dear to your heart essential to your community worthy of your support: education, art, music, shelter, amnesty, clean energy, community garden, yoga, animal rescue, elderly care.
- 10% where it counts
I don't think it is actually too hard to poke holes in the argument (in fact there is so much conflation that one could say the video is a total red herring argument…they have created a picture of "church" that is easy to attack). The video conflates megachurches and faith-based organizations into one unified whole. They create a picture that the church is "selling" a product and that its existence is to fleece you out of your 10%. And so on and so on. One could spend countless sentences, paragraphs, and posts deconstructing the argument and showing its logical errors. However, that wouldn't really do any good. Why do I say that? Because church we have a problem.
A quote from Francis Chan in his book Crazy Love has continued to haunt my thoughts:
We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God. You've probably heard the expression "I believe in God, just not organized religion." I don't think people would say that if the church truly lived like we are called to live. The expression would change to "I can't deny what the church does, but I don't believe in their God." At least then they'd address their rejection of God rather than use the church as a scapegoat. (pgs 21-22)
I think if we seriously look at the two (the video and the quote) we can look and see they are getting at the same things. The church has a problem and both outsiders and insiders are saying it. Wouldn't it be so easy to just blame the megachurches, but reality is the whole institution has a problem. We have lost our purpose and our heart. Too many churches have stopped being agents of change in society by radically living out the Gospel through their corporate lives and instead have done just what the video says and become sellers of hope for consumers to buy.
If we think about the church as stewards of God's gift (you know that 10% that is meant for God and given to the church to steward), are we being good stewards? Is that "tithe" being used to maintain staffing, programming, and buildings mostly? How much of that is being used to provide for those in need (a redistribution sort of thing like in Acts)? If we follow the money is it being used to transform lives? If it is whose lives is it transforming? Are we a beacon of God's light?
Let me frame this another way: do we look at the money we are receiving and entrusted to by God's people and asking the question of how we can transform the world with this? I wonder what the world might look like if we did, would red herring videos have as much impact/influence? Would people be able to look at the Church and really see the incarnational Body of Christ?
What do you think? Do we have a problem?

In early April of 2013 I decided to marry my girlfriend. Due to the size and scope of the decision, I also decided to sit on it for a few months, let it simmer, and see how I felt about it down the road.
July 29th, I pulled the trigger.
I decided to remain standing (instead of the traditional "getting on one knee"), because man does not belong on his knees. Not now, not yesterday, not tomorrow, not ever.
Kneeling also seemed like an absolutely terrible way to begin such a specific and unique relationship; a commitment between two independent, complimentary equals. Equals meet on equal ground.
So, to hell with that tradition.
After literally falling on the floor, and then a brief discussion, she said yes. Although on hindsight, collapsing to the floor was the true "yes" moment.
Long time readers might be scratching their heads at this point : why is Anthony getting married? Aren't I against "those things"?
Actually, no.
I have no objections to marriage in and…

The University of Rhode Island is in the midst of discussions with basketball coach Dan Hurley that will keep him in Kingston for the foreseeable future.
URI athletic director Thorr Bjorn, speaking from Atlanta where the Final Four is being held, says he had been talking with Hurley about "program enhancements" and an extension to his contract even before widespread speculation surfaced last week that Hurley would be a top candidate to be the next coach at Rutgers.
Bjorn said Hurley has not been contacted by any other school and he's looking forward to getting his coach committed to keep improving the program. The two sides have been exploring a contract extension for several weeks.
"We're working on an extension and it's clear Dan is committed to staying at Rhode Island," Bjorn said. "We have been talking and we're getting close to finalizing some things that will move the program forward."
Hurley, who is also in Atlanta, told The Journal that he's looking forward to building URI into a winner.
"We've had great talks that go back a long while and then again the last few days and I'm excited about the direction of this and the future of what the program can become," he said.
"I have a lot of pride in being from New Jersey and a lot of respect for my past there, but I'm focused on the commitment we've made to the kids we've recruited and what we can do at Rhode Island."
Hurley signed a six-year deal when he came to URI last March. His pay package ranges from $600,000 to over $700,000, depending on attendance incentives and other bonuses. It is not clear if a raise is being discussed or if Hurley would just add additional years to his contract.
The Rams finished 8-21 last season but Hurley and his staff have enjoyed enough recruiting success that the coaching staff is expecting a major improvement in 2013-14 and beyond.
URI staffers close to Hurley noted that the challenge of getting the Rams' program back on track has taken a great toll on the coach. Therefore, they could not see him signing up for what is a monstrous rebuilding job at Rutgers. While the school would mark a return home, that job has been severely tainted by the national embarrassment of coach Mike Rice's controversial firing. Rutgers also lost its athletic director, Tim Pernetti, in the last week and hasn't said how it will fill both its athletic director and head men's basketball coaching positions.
To top off that personnel mess, the program's facilities are dated compared to those in its future conference home, the Big Ten. Rutgers is moving to that conference for the 2014-15 season.
URI and Hurley have discussed various ways to improve the program. The team is expected to travel to Italy this summer for a tour that will help integrate four players who sat out this last season, plus two high school recruits. Additional improvements are at the heart of his talks with Bjorn.
"Dan has been a great partner and it's exciting that he wants the program to keep growing to a higher level," said Bjorn.
Keeping Hurley in place is a major win for Rhody and its fans who have seen some high-profile coaches leave for bigger programs and greener contracts over the years. Tom Penders (who jumped to Texas), Al Skinner (Boston College) and Jim Harrick (Georgia) all used success at Rhode Island to elevate their careers.
Now the Rams hope Hurley can get the program winning in a similar fashion.

A survey of 500 fields in eight other Southeastern tomato-producing states this summer did not detect GRSV, he says.
Florida remains the only state in which the virus is found.
Glades Crop Care plans to conduct trials this spring to study how the disease spreads within a tomato field, Frantz says.
In South America and Africa, GRSV infects not only Solanaceous plants—which include tomatoes, peppers and eggplants—but also legumes, such as peanuts.
A survey of Florida's peanut acreage near Lake Okeechobee was conducted this summer, and none of 80 to 85 samples collected was positive for GRSV, Adkins says.
"We looked at other plants that showed similar symptoms and only found tomato spotted wilt virus, which was a surprise to us," Adkins says. "And we only saw GRSV on solanaceous plants."
Further genetic testing showed what scientists were calling GRSV in Florida actually was a hybrid that had genetic material from true groundnut ringspot virus as well as tomato chlorotic spot virus, or TCSV.
That might explain why the survey didn't detect it in peanuts, Adkins says.
A new tomato virus
Until last spring, TCSV was known to occur in Argentina and Brazil but not in Florida, Jane Polston, a University of Florida plant pathologist in Gainesville, told attendees of the recent Florida Joint Tomato Conference.
But that has since changed.
Polston says she received 15 samples collected from Miami-Dade County on March 15 and 12 collected from Lee County April 12—all showing leaf necrosis.
Three different tests were used to pinpoint the culprit.
Immunostrips from Agdia can quickly confirm the presence of a tospovirus, but she says they won't differentiate the species.
Polston then turned to PCR, a type of genetic fingerprinting, to try to narrow the organism's identity.
To confirm her results, she sequenced the newcomer and compared the results to known viruses in the gene bank.
The verdict: TCSV.
It has since turned up in Hendry and Collier counties, Adkins says.
In South America, TCSV has been reported to have a host range that includes vegetables and ornamentals. Among them are peppers, tomatoes, tobacco, jimson weed and ornamental tobacco.
Both western flower thrips and flower thrips are known to spread TCSV in South America, she says.

Which, being "mostly Buddhist", I have no problem saying "Merry Christmas" to folks, and enjoying the spirit of what Christ had to teach (for the most part, but drop the "I come not to bring peace, but with a sword" bit), but the commercialism, and greed??? Hmm, the money changers comes to mind, along with the hypocrites who pray, and give, only in public, so they can be seen for their "piety"..

SCANA Subsidiary Announces Sale of Knology Investment
John Winn

(803) 217-7458
Wilmington, Delaware, December 30, 2004
- SCANA Communications Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of SCANA Corporation (NYSE: SCG), announced today that the company sold its investment in Knology, Inc. (NASDAQ: KNOL), consisting of approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock and approximately $51 million of 12% senior unsecured notes. Knology, headquartered in West Point, Georgia, is a leading provider of interactive communications and entertainment services in the Southeast. In addition to approximately $59 million in cash proceeds from the sale of the shares and notes, the transaction will also produce approximately $30 million in additional cash related to certain income tax carry-back benefits. This transaction will result in the recording of an after-tax loss of approximately $9 million, or 8 cents per share, in the fourth quarter of 2004.
"The successful completion of this transaction, which follows the sale of our ITC^DeltaCom investment earlier this month, substantially completes our announced strategy to monetize our remaining telecommunications investments," said Kevin Marsh, SCANA's senior vice president and chief financial officer. "Combined after-tax cash proceeds of approximately $122 million from the sale of these investments will be used to repay outstanding debt, reducing the overall leverage in SCANA's capital structure."
SCANA Communications Holdings, Inc., a Delaware-based corporation, is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of SCANA Corporation.
SCANA Corporation, a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, is an energy-based holding company principally engaged, through subsidiaries, in electric and natural gas utility operations, telecommunications and other energy-related businesses. The Company serves approximately 581,000 electric customers in South Carolina and more than one million natural gas customers in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.

I am hoping someone on here can help me out. I have hardwood in the entry of my home. I don't know if it has been treated but I suspect it has. I do know that it is hardwood and not a laminate floor. Here is what I need help with. The floor is really beat up in the walk way area. Is there a way I can "re-do" the floor myself or make it look better. I just don't have the money to have the floors redone by the pros. Any ideas to make it look better, is I welcome. Thanks!

How big is the entry area? You can rent a heavy duty hand sander (the ones the pros use for tight spaces) and do it yourself. Then stain it and varnish it. I wouldn't think the whole thing would cost more than $200.
If not, get a big rug, LOL.

My husband refinished the hardwood floor in the bedroom of our first house. We had to rent two sanders--one to do the main parts of the floor and the other to do the edges. It was about $100 for the rental of both, plus the polyurethane or whatever you finish it with. It was really hard work. He called me at work a few minutes into it and said there was no way he could do it. But we'd already spent the $100 so he kept going. He ended up doing a really beautiful job, but it was not easy.
We have hardwood in our current house in the front hall and kitchen. It's getting pretty beat up (especially where the kitchen chairs are), but I'm hoping that someday we can hire someone to do this job, although it might be a while.

Thanks everyone. I think I may need to just invest in a good area rug for now at least since I need to do the work myself.

Danish engineer wins Digi-Key Harley
Distributor Digi-Key's first visit to Electronica last November has proven to be lucky for Svend Kristensen, who has won a Harley Fatboy in the firm's raffle. Svend, an analogue hardware engineer with TC Electronic in Denmark, seems very laid back about the whole business: Visiting Electronica 2006 with my firm, I was admiring the bike in your display when I got 'caught' by two pretty young girls who asked me to participate in a lottery. Of course, I agreed. Live the dream Svend, live the dream.

The restaurant is housed in an authentic New England barn dating back to the early 1800s.

Two of the 10 Wayans siblings — Marlon and Shawn — bring their stand-up to Borgata Feb. 9. Soon they'll take their tag-team comedy show around the globe.
Over the past two years brothers Shawn and Marlon Wayans have taken their comedy show on the road, performing stand-up together all over the country — and soon the globe, as the pair heads to Australia in May and other countries following that.
Some may know the Wayans Brothers from their eponymous TV sitcom, which aired from 1995-'99, and was the first TV series to debut on the WB network. Others may recall seeing the young brothers on the hilarious sketch-comedy TV show In Living Color, which aired on FOX from 1990-'94 and starred older Wayans brothers Keenan and Damon, in addition to future superstars Jim Carey, Tommy Davidson, Jamie Foxx, Rosie Perez and David Alan Grier.
Since The Wayans Brothers went off the air — it still runs in syndication — the brothers have branched out into Hollywood, writing and starring in goofy yet hysterical movies such as White Chicks, Scary Movie (parts one and two) and the 1996 spoof Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.
While older brother Shawn, 42, has been taking it easy of late, "writing a new movie" and spending time with his own family in Los Angeles where he currently resides, Marlon, 40, also a California resident now — the Wayans were born and raised in New York — has a new film out, A Haunted House. The youngest of 10 siblings, Marlon says the new movie, which he helped write and produce and stars in, is not a parody in the sense that the Scary Movie pictures are, but more of a horror comedy poking fun at the "found footage" genre of filmmaking and the modern fascination with ghosts and paranormal activity.
Shawn and Marlon, who will bring their stand-up comedy show to Atlantic City Feb. 9 at the intimate Borgata Music Box, spoke to AC Weekly the day after President Obama's Inauguration for a second term.
Shawn dialed in from California, while Marlon spoke from his hotel room in Washington D.C. where he attended the Jan. 21 Inauguration. (He was a little late for this interview and jumps on the call several minutes after Shawn.)
Are you on stage together when you do these duo stand-up shows?
Shawn: No, we don't go on stage together. It's a tag team. One guy goes on and he does his set. Then the next guy comes after him and does his set.
So there's no time when you'll be together for the show?
S: We go pick our check up at the same time.
Any memorable experiences from your days on In Living Color?
S: The whole thing was a memorable experience. That was me and Marlon's comedy college of everything we know. All the stuff we do today we learned from In Living Color. [It] taught us how to perform comedy. It taught us how to write. It taught us discipline. It taught us work ethics, and how serious the game of comedy really is. I think it was a wonderful experience and lots of fun. [We] laughed all day long.
Do you still keep in touch with the non-family members from that show?
S: I still talk to Tommy Davidson every now and then. When I see Jim Carey we always talk and have a good time — same for Jamie Foxx and David [Alan Grier]. And anybody else you saw on the show. It's like If you went to school with somebody and you see one of your old classmates.
What were your favorite TV shows growing up?
S: I loved The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy and I used to watch Good Times, and The Jeffersons and Archie Bunker [All in the Family]. I used to also watch a lot of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Abbott and Costello, they were great. All the great classic shows that were on back then Marlon and me kind of grew up on. We studied that when we were little.
There are so many talented and funny members of your immediate family. Did you have a lot of humor in your household? At the dinner table, for instance, was it a laugh riot most of the time?
S: Yeah, it was very funny. There were lots of laughs. We were always laughing. Despite our economic situation we found humor in it.
Hello Marlon, where are you calling from?
Marlon: I'm in D.C. Just went to the Inauguration. It was a good experience to be there and hear the speech live and feel the energy. It was beautiful to see all the people come out and rally behind the president. I wish we did that kind of thing everyday. I think we would get a lot more done.
S: Did you look at Beyoncé's butt while she was singing the National Anthem?
M: I tried so hard but I couldn't. I didn't get a good view. I was so mad.
S: You should have [taken] Bill Clinton's seat; he got a good look at her ass.
Marlon, you've been promoting your new film —
M: Yeah, lately, I have been waking up very early [to promote] my movie. So I have been on the road for two months literally getting up at five o'clock in the morning everyday.
I've been reading about how 'A Haunted House' is unlike the 'Scary' movies. How is it different — aside from being a different movie?
M: I think it's different because it's not a parody. It's just a movie itself. All these people keep thinking it's a parody; its not. It's a romantic horror comedy with parody moments. It's got some parody moments in it, but it's really just familiar moments that we kind of flipped, but it's not a parody. If you never saw a paranormal film this will [still] be enjoyable. It's not a movie that you need a reference for you to enjoy it.
Shawn and I were talking about you guys growing up. If it was a humorous household and if there was a lot of laughter around the dinner table. He said that it was a funny experience, do you remember the same?
M: Oh, absolutely. There was a bunch of laughing. We laughed our whole childhood. That's why we laugh till this day because we just love laughter.
Marlon how long have you been doing stand-up comedy?
M: Probably like [almost] three years now.

CALGARY — Cellphone users in Alberta could soon see an increase on their bills to help fund 911 emergency call centres.
Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths announced plans to table legislation that will allow cellphone providers to charge an additional fee, which will offset the cost of 911 call centres around the province.
"While most of us have paid a 44-cent-per-month fee for 911 on landlines for many years — a fee that went directly to support 911 call centres — cellphone users have not paid a similar fee," he said Thursday.
And with more and more people opting to use cell phones only, the funding pool has dried considerably, said Griffiths.
"To put this in perspective, 911 call centres, large and small, are reporting up to 70% of all the calls coming in are coming from cellphones as opposed to landlines," he said.
Griffiths predicted the fee for cellphone users will likely be 44-cents-a-month as well, and with an estimated 2.7 million cellphones registered in Alberta, that would provide roughly $16-million annually for call centres.
Most cellphone providers already add a 911 fee to bills, said Griffiths, but that money doesn't go toward funding call centres.
"Some have explained it was to build more cell towers and to enhance the 911 call system, but it never went to 911 call centres like landline fees do," he said.
If passed, the new legislation — expected to be tabled during the spring sitting of the legislature — will also increase legal protection for call centres and penalties for those who abuse the service.

Okay, clearly I've been left home alone too long. This weekend I started an experimental one gallon batch of hard cider, a two-gallon batch of Chamomile blond ale, and then I had half a packet of yeast left over that I didn't want to just throw out. After doing a bit of reading, and still wanting to try to experiment, I have steeped up oats, a banana, cinnamon stick, a fair amount of honey, and also maple syrup. I pitched at 70 degrees, and will see what happens. It may be disgusting, but in the interest of experimentation, I will check back to this thread in a couple of weeks after fermenting. Someone should maybe check on me, or send over someone to supervise me as I have CLEARLY been left alone too long in the kitchen.
Lorenzo Bevilaqua Lorenzo Bevilaqua Photographyhttp://www.lorenzobevilaqua.com Leave the gun. Take the cannolis.
Lol, what kind of oats? Looks like the only fermentable is the maple syrup and honey. How much of each. Almost kind of a mead?
I thought the sugars, at least some of them, in bananas are fermentable. Either way it'll make for one interesting brew. You can't even really call it beer. Random Sugar Wine? I'd like to hear how this comes out.
The only thing more asinine than stupid rules is the enforcement of rules simply because they are the rules.Inhopsicated: A Beer BlogInhopsicated on Twitter
Mind power, Sweed, mind power! (Sorry, A Christmas Story reference). Yes, I didn't think that the oats had much if any sugar, but I know that oats ARE used as an ingredient sometimes, more to add flavor and texture than as a fermentable. As Nukebrewer said, I think the banana also has fermentable sugar. I am a poor scientist, and was imprecise in my measurement of the fermentables. I probably used too much honey and maple syrup. About a pound of it in all. I have a different problem this morning, though. The oat solids all rose to the top of the carboy, and forced the stopper out of the carboy! I had a bung and blow-off tube feeding into a bowl of Star-San. Does this automatically mean that the batch is ruined? Automatically contaminated, or should I wait and see? I should have moved more slowly in my play, and drained out the oat milk and discarded the solids. I may try this again. Do you think having the stopper off most of the night killed it? How will I know?
You're more than likely fine. If the fermentation was vigorous enough to force the stopper out of the carboy, it was probably putting off enough CO2 to keep bad stuff out.
YES!! Thank you. This may be a moot point anyway if my concoction turns out to be disgusting, but it actually smells pretty good, so far. I had a thought...if this doesn't work as a mead, or other drinkable concoction, is it too late to steep up some good, dark grain, or maybe add some DME to create an actual beer with it? Could I let it ferment out, and use it as a flavoring agent for a larger batch of something?
I like where your head's at, but you don't even know what thing is going to be, so why mess with it at this point? It might be something delicious, it might be something disgusting, but you won't know if you mess with it.
Good point. Thank you. I'll let it run it's course, see what i get out of it, and do it again if it's any good. I'll keep updating this thread. Thanks for the advice! It's appreciated.
I'm thinking you're probably going to have to let this age 6+ months. It sounds like a wine.
Yes, I am imagining lots of simple sugar here...you can always try distilling it!

God and geeks: Vatican astronomer hunts for faith in Silicon Valley
By Carol Glatz
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Engineers, scientists, and computer whizzes study or manipulate nature and machines to find sound, logical solutions to nagging questions and everyday problems.
But if hard empirical evidence is what makes a techie brain tick, then how is he or she able to justify or believe in something as scientifically unprovable as God or as mind-boggling as transubstantiation?
Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno, a self-described techie and Vatican astronomer, argues in a new book that a nerd is not necessarily a nihilist, and geeks can and do believe in God.
In "God's Mechanics: How Scientists and Engineers Make Sense of Religion," he shows that atheism is actually very rare among men and women scientists.
He told
Catholic News Service
"the more common stance is to be agnostic -- they don't want to make a claim one way or another, but really what they're shy about is belonging to an organized church."
Brother Consolmagno said some hold preconceived, mistaken notions that the people they'll find in the pews might be intellectually inferior or even "repellent."
The Jesuit astronomer said, "One fellow put it to me very bluntly, 'I don't mind God, it's his fan club I could do without.'"
He said the idea for his fifth book came after some techie friends asked him to explain the "nuts and bolts of how" to believe in a particular religious creed.
These friends were interested in joining a church, and they were looking for "intellectual support" and help in explaining certain aspects of the Catholic faith, he said.
He soon realized techies look at religion differently than most folks and likewise have different needs when it comes to pastoral care and outreach.
So two years ago, Brother Consolmagno bade a temporary farewell to his telescopes and went from gazing at the heavens to peering into fellow techies' hearts and souls.
"The techies, they're my tribe. I'm one of them and I want us to be better understood by the church," the planetary scientist explained.
The discoveries he made from a two-month journey traveling up and down U.S. Highway 101 in California's Silicon Valley became the core of his new book.
He interviewed 100 "hard-nosed, rational, dyed-in-the-wool techies" and asked them the reasons they went to church, what they did and didn't get out of church, and why they belonged to one faith community and not another.
He said the answers were as varied as one would find in the general population, but that several unique characteristics stuck out.
For example, skeptics weren't saying, "Prove to me God exists," but had more pragmatic concerns like "whether he exists or not, why should I believe? Why should I care and what does it get me?"
Also, people in the world of science tend to be "rule followers" and see the church as a book of rules, he said.
In fact, "a very common fallacy" among techies, he said, is believing salvation is the result of following the rules.
In their work world, techies see that "if I follow the rules then the program should run, but religion doesn't work that way," said Brother Consolmagno.
He also got the feeling that a lot techies weren't exactly convinced they could ever know "the truth."
He said one family had actually been "church shopping" and was ruling out churches that were "obviously wrong."
He said this family wasn't looking for proof of which religious community was right, they just wanted one that "had a greater chance of being correct," like one that has "existed over a long period of time and in a lot of different cultures."
The Vatican astronomer said the biggest surprise to come out of his research was that, for techies in general, the biggest motivation to belong to a church was the search for community.
Being part of a community was really important, he said, "in part because community is something a lot of them didn't have growing up; when you're the geek nobody likes you. But also because techies work better in community, because most scientists and engineers do their work as a team."
Many in the tech world aren't going to church to find the truth, he said, "because by the time you're in your 30s or 40s you've pretty much decided what the truth is. The reason they go to church is for tech support; it's once-a-week scheduled maintenance," he said.
But in some churches, that community support may be lacking, especially if the techie individual is unmarried or far from family.
"The sort of alienation that comes from a techie life is something a parish ought to be addressing, and yet most parishes don't even recognize the problem," he said.
Parishioners with science backgrounds should be more vocal about their interests and could try starting up an astronomy, computer, or science fiction club, he suggested.
When asked how he explains to scientists complex facets of Catholicism, such as transubstantiation -- that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist -- Brother Consolmagno said he first explains what the statements actually mean.
"One of the problems that techies have is they don't necessarily understand that words do have power. But if you think of words like, 'Yes, I'll marry you,' or 'You've just been accepted to MIT,' these words change reality," he explained.
He follows that with the analogy of a small child getting a birthday cake.
"Why is the birthday cake different from any other cake? It has to be on your birthday, it has to be brought by mom" and it has to have all the special details and ceremonies associated with it that make it different from every other cake and "a little kid understands it really is different," he said.
"I'm not saying the Eucharist is a birthday cake," he said, "but it shows the power of words and that words do change reality."
