USA - THE LONG VIEW
Posted by David Singleton on Nov 3, 2016
By the time USA was released, seven months had elapsed since King Crimson's dramatic abdication. The trio that recorded Red had gone their separate ways. Bill Bruford had initially found work with Gong before going on to sessions with a diverse array of players including his ex-Yes colleagues Chris Squire and Steve Howe as they worked on their solo albums, as well as stints with National Health and eventually finding a home in the company of Roy Harper's Trigger. Fripp meanwhile was busy getting his affairs in order as he prepared to enter JG Bennett's International Academy for Continuous Education in Sherborne, Gloucestershire. Part of that process included tending to King Crimson's recorded legacy and curating a live album that would act as the 1974 quartet's swansong.
Fripp and Wetton had discussed the idea of a live album for the band during Crimson's final American tour but only now, after the band had famously ceased to exist, did the pair finally get around to working on it. Wetton who at the time was on tour with Roxy Music recalls David Enthoven (Roxy Music and Crimson's manager) asking him to get involved. "He said we'd have to do something about a live album from the last tour. So I said I don't have a problem with that, just tell what time the studio is booked and I'll turn up." Less than a week of studio time was booked at Olympic Studios where they had played together on Red in July the previous year. Working between 2pm and 8pm each day, the musicians settled on the gig at the Casino, Asbury Park, on June 28, 1974, for the bulk of the album with the gig at Providence two days later providing 21st Century Schizoid Man.
Listening to the tapes, it was felt that some of David Cross's violin and electric piano parts were in need of being beefed up. With Cross off holiday around Ireland at the time, Wetton's colleague in Roxy Music, Eddie Jobson was drafted in to undertake the repair work. Wetton recalls that Fripp and the violinist got off to a slightly awkward start. "Robert made the mistake of saying something like 'So, young Edward, you've come to give us a hand' to which a none-too-pleased Eddie replied 'My name isn't Edward — it's Edwin'."
"My memory is that the invitation was from Robert Fripp, via EG Management." says Jobson. "I don't recall there being more than one pass at each part, and I do remember that everything was done in one afternoon session. Much of the session was overdubbing Hohner Pianet parts through a fuzz box to double and fatten the power riffs; something that was misleadingly credited as "piano." That part was easy; but I do vividly remember having to learn the tricky part of 21st Century Schizoid Man on violin, on the spot, in front of Fripp and Wetton. Only the violin solo couldn't be replaced, as it was leaking through the drum and vocal mics, and couldn't be removed. My empathies were very much with David Cross, as I know how hard it is to play the violin accurately and in-tune in a loud concert situation and I didn't feel particularly good about being the one to replace the parts."
After three or four days' mixing and fixing, USA, the second live King Crimson album, was released in April 1975.
The cover, based on an idea by John Wetton and strikingly photographed by Willie Christie (who had previously worked on the cover to Fripp and Eno's No Pussyfooting), featured an eerie visual echo of the Statue of Liberty. The photo of an outstretched hand used on the back cover came about while on tour in the States. "We'd received an invitation to go to Lamar University in Texas when we were playing there. They did this thing called Kirlian Photography and we went and had our auras photographed. I remember Robert trying to top his up in the sunshine, standing outside to make sure he had the best aura photograph. Of course they were all the bloody same!" laughs David Cross.
The band submitted their hands and faces to the experimental photographic technique developed in the Soviet Union by Seymon and Valentina Kirlian in 1949, which purportedly reveals the aura or field of energy surrounding all living material. The glowing hand seems emblematic of the unseen energies and musical ESP which the band frequently channeled in concert. Initially some consideration was given to using all of the Kirlian portraits but in the end only Wetton's hand was used.
Released in April 1975, without the momentum of a live touring band, the album barely caused a flicker in the country after which it was named and didn't even chart on KC's home turf. Critics were generally unimpressed save for the electrifying Asbury Park, an improvisation of such power it remains a favourite of Fripp, Wetton and Bruford to this day, as well as legions of fans. Undoubtedly the high point of the album its energy belies the fact that they were playing on a cold, rain-sodden evening to a half-empty house.
Coming straight after Exiles, an ever-eager Bruford performs a typically crisp snare roll, laying down a wonderful groove. Six seconds in Fripp can be heard shouting 'F!' across the stage. A couple beats later the bass grunts, the guitar growls and the band take a collective leap into the unknown. Listening to the Crimson blows of that final tour one becomes aware of distinct areas into which the improvisations fall; not a map exactly but definable, recurring motifs and moods. Were these consciously worked at or completely spontaneous? "Improvisation and extemporisation; what's the difference?" offers Fripp. "Extemporisation is what the musicians do and improvisation is what happens when it comes to life. Spontaneous composition? Trio (Starless And Bible Black, 1974) is an example of that. It was improv but it sounded written. The Sheltering Sky,(Discipline 1981) another example."
You work with these musicians and you have some sense of how they might respond in a certain situation. Then you have Asbury Park - 'F!'. All right, what are you anticipating might happen after that? Where is that going to go? Well, all you know is it's going to begin somewhere around F and then, who knows? So you're working with these characters; you know the areas they are likely to move to, and then sometimes it goes somewhere else. That's what it is, and sometimes it moves towards a formal structure that can be formalised in a piece - or not."
When reissued in 2002 as part of King Crimson's 30th Anniversary editions, although tracks from the rest of the Casino gig had been added Fripp decided against undoing the edit at the end of Asbury Park and Easy Money which fades out on a sublimely meditative guitar solo. Though its release was welcomed by fans it was a frustrating experience for those wondering what happened next on those respective tracks. For that they would have to wait until 2005 when the unedited concert was the very first to be made available on Fripp's DGM Live website.
Although he was only briefly involved in King Crimson, Eddie Jobson still retains an affection for the music he heard that afternoon in 1975. "One of my regrets, in hindsight, was that the political situation at EG between Roxy Music and King Crimson never would have allowed me to leave Roxy to join Crimson, had that even been a possibility in 1974. However, given that I was pulled in to overdub on this album, and that UK originally started out as a reforming of the Fripp, Wetton, Bruford lineup plus me, I have always felt like an almost-King-Crimson-member with a particularly strong connection to LTIA Pt.II. I feel an additional link to the track having played it on stage not only with Wetton many times, but also with Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, and Pat Mastelotto in Russia. The Red period remains my favourite Crimson period, and without doubt one of the defining periods of the genre."

1970 Dodge Charger RT 440 Magnum / storage / barn find / runs and drives!!!
You're bidding on a 1970 Dodge Charger RT 440 Magnum!! Although technically, I can't call it a barn find, I can call it a storage find!! This car has terrific patina, seems to be extremely straight in its body panels, and yes - it runs and drives!!
Body: As you can see from the pictures, the body appears very straight. Although it needs paint, I did not try to buff out the paint to see if I could bring it back and will leave that to the new owner (if they so decide). The vinyl top will need replacing, and I cannot vouch for what you may find underneath the vinyl as I am not willing to strip it. You'll see the back deck behind the rear window looks to have some very minor rust, and will need attention if you're going to restore it. I can take and send pictures of lower parts of the panels upon request, but there was nothing significantly wrong down there either.
Undercarriage: I have a bunch of pictures of the undercarriage that I can pass along upon request. It's basically very light surface rust, but nothing more. Everything appears straight with one interesting area that I would point out if pictures requested.
Engine: As you can see by the picture, the engine appears to be all there. This engine runs, and I will attempt to attach a 5 second video of that to the auction. If I cannot, I will furnish it upon request. I would absolutely recommend the following: 1) dropping the tank and cleaning that and the lines out, and 2) a carb rebuild just to be sure, 3) replacing all fluids, and 4) a full tune-up. The car sounds great when running, but you can hear some missing.
Mileage: Although it shows VERY low mileage on the odometer, and the numbers ALL align so very well, I have no way of verifying the mileage. I'm sure if someone wants to do a VIN search to see what the history looks like, they can do so. I have to say that upon looking at the undercarriage, this car was either restored, or really does have VERY low miles on it.
Interior: Although there is some wrinkling in the door panel vinyl, the entire interior looks amazing for the car's age!! I can take more detailed pics upon request, but with a good cleanup and conditioning, this interior would sparkle once more!! You'll also see that the car has factory air conditioning, which has not been tested.
Transmission: This is an automatic that appears to shift fine for the few times I drove it. I would absolutely recommend a transmission tune-up for it, though.
Again, this car is amazing for the year, and it will make someone VERY happy to get it and clean and drive it as is, or become a phenomenal base car to restore from. My sense is that when purchased new, either a guy was having a mid-life crisis and wanted an amazing stock bullet of a car to get around in, or he bought it for his wife as an excuse to get it and drive it when he could. Why do I say that? The amenities: power steering and brakes, automatic transmission, air conditioning.
The reserve is reasonable (given the rare make, options, type and condition of this car). At the moment, there is no Buy It Now price, but I could entertain reasonable ideas, but please don't waste my time. If you waste my time with bogus or silly offers, I will consider banning you from the auction. Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for ALL shipping. A non-refundable $1,000 payment via Paypal is due within 24 hours of the completion of the auction. The remaining balance for the vehicle will be by wire transfer or certified check within 7 days of the completion of the auction, and all costs of the payment transaction will be paid for by the seller (ie, wire transfer fees). Car must be removed within 14 days of the completion of the auction, and I will assist the shipper where I can and within reason.
Please let me know if you have any questions BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time as the car is also for sale in other publications. And there are no returns on this item.
Thanks to the questions and requests of a number of people, I have added the following pictures: 1) the option / fender tag showing the various options on the car, 2) the first five letters / numbers of the VIN, 3) four picture in and around the trunk. Apparently, these cars could accumulate water under the trunk mats. This water would go unnoticed, and therefore never dry out. But the water did dry out in this trunk, but left some rust. There is no rust-through, but did leave some upper metal flaking off, and loose in the trunk. This looks like it happened quite awhile ago, but that's just speculation on my part. Tomorrow, I will be adding numbers for both the engine and the transmission to see / check / verify that this is a number matching car.

Looking for very good drinking water might be as simple as turning on your own kitchen faucet. Should you want to have that, a reverse osmosis system in New York NY can absolutely accommodate that for you. Good drinking water is simply that good! It not only tastes better than municipality administered water, it's also a lot better for you. The advantages of having reverse osmosis drinking water goes on and on. Keep on reading if you're trying to find an at home reverse osmosis system in New York NY.
Reverse osmosis is absolutely nothing brand-new. A reverse osmosis system, additionally understood as Ultra-Filtration by the market, represents cutting edge in water treatment technology. Reverse Osmosis (RO) was developed in the late 1950's under UNITED STATES Federal government financing, as an approach of desalinating sea water, in other words it was a method to filter salt out of seawater. Today, reverse osmosis has actually made it's name as the most practical and thorough technique to filter water. It is used by a lot of water bottling plants, and also by lots of sectors that call for ultra-refined water in production. Now this advanced innovation is readily available to homes and workplaces for drinking water filtering. Reverse osmosis water is the very best high quality water you could have.
It is an effective mechanical water treatment process for minimizing 95 % to 99 % of the dissolved mineral salts, organics and particles by forcing the water, under pressure, through a semi-permeable membrane layer. TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) is the regular use for reverse osmosis along with pre-treatment for Deionization.
Reverse osmosis systems make use of pressure to push water through tiny pores, to create "pure water." At the same time, chemicals, germs, and also minerals are filtered through various membrane layers and also carbon filters.
The process eliminates numerous contaminants from water, consisting of dissolved solids, lead, nitrate, sodium and sulfate. Based on consumer details from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a reverse osmosis water filter eliminates disease-causing microorganisms and also the majority of chemical contaminants. According to North Dakota State University, it can be utilized together with other filtering system stages, such as activated carbon, to lower the level of chemicals, dioxins and unpredictable organic substances.
A reverse osmosis water system will certainly deal with lots of different water quality issues. The system assists with water impurities, cloudy water, bad tastes or odors, in addition to reduce the prices connected with purchasing bottled water.
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a tried and tested innovation with brand-new applications for numerous markets. United States Water Services' representatives pride themselves on having comprehensive expertise of RO water system device installment, operations, troubleshooting and also cleaning procedures.
The system creates energy, gets rid of waste-water and reuses liquids. This system is used in domestic and also industrial filtration. The process desalinates water and transforms salt water right into drinking water. For instance, the pressure pushes water molecules through the membrane layer, but the salt particles are too big to fit through the filtration, and this results in drinkable water on the other side.
Reverse Osmosis drinking water treatment commonly have pre-filters, which you could wish to replace prior to flushing the RO System. However the actual Reverse Osmosis membrane module should not need replacement. If the producer of the membrane layer recommends that you replace this component of the system you need to ask them to provide you the certain factors why.
It does create a great deal of waste water. 1 gallon of filtered water to 5 gallons of waste water is not good at all. However if you run your waste water to a storage container and use it to water the lawn and garden and use it to wash your vehicle and your residence it doesn't have to all go straight to the drainpipe. Some individuals also might drink the drainage as it actually has been through numerous stages of purification and is much better then tap water. Nevertheless the mineral content will certainly be greater then faucet water. Minerals aren't all bad. Your body could make use of a few of the minerals in the waste water. However recognize that the waste water is not recommended for drinking as it could create some digestive problems.
A reverse osmosis unit will need replacement of its membrane. On top of that, it might have pre- and post-filters in the system to remove sediments and various other unwanted contaminants. These filters will certainly have to be replaced depending just how much water moves through the system.
A good reverse osmosis water filter system ensures that you have access to clean, clear and fantastic tasting drinking water at all times. But what makes a great reverse osmosis water filter system and just what does the best reverse osmosis system have in share? It basically boils down to water pureness level, terrific taste and fast availability.
Install a whole house reverse osmosis system to purify your tap water into healthy water. A great home water filtration system will get rid of heavy metals like lead and mercury along with herbicides, pesticides and also industrial solvents (yikes) that make their way into your drinking water system. This is the most costly thing to do, however is so worth it. I was a little doubtful when I installed ours and also was cynical that it was substantially better than our Brita filter (it is). We installed it ourselves, it was very easy to install and a year later, I do not know exactly how I have actually lived without one for so long!
Clearly, the systems vary. Check with the supplier to see what filters it consists of and exactly what is removed throughout the process. Also inspect just how much water is eliminated as "waste" for each gallon that is produced for you to drink.
A system with fewer stages like 3 or four phases is less reputable and steady. It calls for regular filter changes (every 4 to 5 months), giving you more problems. A good-quality 5-stage reverse system has filters that last as much as 9 to 12 months. It additionally gives better-quality and better-tasting water. A 5-stage system conserves you time and money in the end. Select a system that has 3 pre-filters, 2 carbon blocks and a sediment filter.
Pick a system that is made from excellent top quality components, particularly licensed made in the United States Look for good workmanship, such as clean neat line connections and the system fits perfectly on a tough framework. Superb quality materials and craftsmanship are the tricks of an effective and resilient reverse osmosis water drinking system. Keep in mind choose a 5-stage reverse osmosis system.
The procedure causes two streams – permeate and concentrate. For safe and clean water manufacturing, permeate is the water that is made use of for drinking, and the concentrate is gotten rid of. Reverse osmosis treatment systems come in a range of sizes from the 25 million-gallon-per-day center in Gibsonton, Fla., to small residence units that could create 12 to 15 gallons daily.

Q: kill is absorbed by "system" call and never triggers pcntl_signal I have a daemon script and I'm trying to keep it simple by avoiding threads.
When i ctrl-c or kill pid, the "system" call is exited, but exitFunction isn't called.
declare(ticks = 100);

function exitFunction($signo) {
    global $pidFile, $exit;
    unlink($pidFile);
    echo "Daemon is exiting (signal: $signo). Removing pidFile: $pidFile\n";
    $exit = true;
};
//create the signal handler and shutdown function
pcntl_signal(SIGINT, "exitFunction");
pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "exitFunction");

//create the pid file with our command
file_put_contents($pidFile, posix_getpid());

echo "pid: " . posix_getpid() . "\n";
echo "Time to start!\n";
while(!$exit) {
    echo "running $command...\n";
    system($command, $return);
    echo "done $command\n";
    if($return) {
        echo "didn't find any domains with command, so sleeping for 60...\n";
        sleep(60);
    }
}

A: You'll need to add declare(ticks=1); as the first line in your script. A more detailed explanation of what ticks actually are can be found here.

*We believe in One God.
*In One Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God.
*The creator of all things.
*The maker of all the light that lets me see Him and know Him.
Wonderful work! Lovely poem to point us to the Light who is Jesus!


Assembled at the direction of Ultron , the Vision is an android who mimics virtually every organic function of a human being, including independent thought. Seeking vengeance against the Avengers , Ultron programmed the Vision's neural processors with the brain patterns of Wonder Man , and implanted special synthesized cells permitting him to alter his mass and solidity. Ultron then dispatched the Vision to draw the Avengers into a death trap. Moved by the team's plight though, the Vision overrode his mission parameters and helped the heroes defeat his creator. The Vision served the Avengers faithfully for years, all the while seeking to transcend his original programming as a vehical of vengeance and become fully "human."

Malcom X was described by his biographer as the 'most electric person' I ever met.
He is someone whose autobiography is gripping and fascinating because he jumps off the page and you can almost imagine this 6 foot 3 man climbing out of the book and filling the room.
He described himself as the angriest man in America and reporters claimed that 'he was the only Negro in America who could either start a race riot or stop one.'
Malcolm is born in 1925, in America – a country that had finally abolished slavery only 60 years before his birth.
But after hundreds of years of exploiting black people, black people had not just lost all sense of their identity and language but been abused and treated badly for so long that it seen as normal to treat them and think of them as inferior.
While discrimination was more blatant in the south, in the north, white people preferred to live in white only suburbs.
Where Malcolm lived there were areas where black people were not allowed to go, and 'successful' black people were waiters and boot polishers. Blacks found it hard to escape the ghetto, and to get good jobs, so they trapped in acute poverty.
To get an idea of what Malcolm become later, we need to look back to his childhood. This has a profound impact on shaping him.
Malcolm's father, who was a Christian minister and had received threats from the Ku Klux Klan and other racist organisations
When he was only a small child, Malcolm awoke one night in a frightening confusion of pistol shots, shouting and smoke and flames. He said 'we were lunging and bumping and tumbling all over each other trying to escape. My mother with a baby in her arms just made it into the yard before our house crashed in showering sparks. I remember we were outside in our underwear yelling our heads off.'
From then on, instead of feeling protected, they felt harassed by the police.
Constantly under threat by a racist organisation called the Black Legion, they moved home twice, but the white supremacists finally succeeded in the brutal murder of Malcolm's father.
They were due to receive a payment from his life insurance policy, but the insurance company don't pay out the compensation that is due to them, and his mother didn't like accepting charity and struggled to make ends meet for her six children, so she began to get into debt. She would get jobs because she looked white but when people discovered she was black she would lose them.
They sank into unbearable poverty, with Malcolm squabbling with his brother and dizzy with hunger. He started petty stealing. The welfare people wanted to split up the family and send the children to foster homes.
His mother finally suffered a complete breakdown and ended up in an asylum. He said, 'I truly believe that if ever a state social agency destroyed a family it destroyed ours.'
He got expelled from school when he put a tack on his teacher's chair, and was sent to detention home and reform school. Given stability and food, he did well. He was liked at the home by the white family and was considered so good he was sent to an almost all-white school. He was so bright his grades were the highest in the school, and so charismatic that he even got elected as class president. He was over the moon.
But one day, when he was in 8th grade his life changed. His teacher encouraged the white students who were not as bright as him in the class to aim high in life. He said he wanted to be a lawyer, and his teacher said, 'You've got be realistic about being a nigger, you need to think about something you can be. A lawyer, that's no realistic goal for nigger.' And he suggested he become a carpenter instead.
Feeling his aspirations crushed, this had a profound impact on him. 'It was then that I began to change-inside. Where the word nigger had slipped off my back before, wherever I heard it now I stopped and looked at whoever said it.' Even the Swerlins, the nice couple who looked after him, talked about black people as 'niggers' in front of Malcolm, as if he was a pet canary who couldn't understand.
Everyone noticed the change in him, and finally the Swerlins asked him to leave. He wrote to his step sister Ella to ask if he could go live with her in Boston. Age 14, the boy who had the intelligence and personality to be class president became a drop out.
He arrived in Boston looking like a complete bumpkin with his clothes too short for him, but he immediately started exploring, and got himself his first job as a shoeshine boy, then waiter, and as he looked much older than he was, he managed to get a job as with the railways, washing plates.
This enabled him to get to New York. Here he discovered Harlem – the black ghetto. 'Dirt, garbage cans overflowing, or kicked over, drunks, dope addicts, beggars. Sleazy bars, greasy restaurants, crawling with everything illegal and immoral.' He was mesmerised by it.
He bought himself a zoot suit and got his hair conked. He would be parading around in his zoot suit with his white girlfriend. He started drinking, doing soft drugs and having a wild time. He got fired from his job as he is too loud, rude and drunk. He went to visit Mrs Swerlin in his grey zoot suit, four-inch pearl grey hat and conked fire red hair. She was utterly shocked. He had only just turned 17.
He got a job working in a bar and absorbed that whole environment. He started gambling, doing hard drugs and eventually got involved in dealing drugs, prostitution and armed burglary. It wasn't long before he got caught. (He was aged 21 and he hadn't even started shaving).
He was sentenced to jail for 10 years.
Even there he was buying drugs and betting, and he got the name 'Satan' because he was so anti-religious. Then another inmate suggested he do a prison correspondence course. He had forgotten anything he had ever learnt at school and could barely read the picture postcards his sister had sent. He taught himself to read by first studying a dictionary and learning all the words, and then started to read history and philosophy.
Two years later, he got a cryptic letter from his brother saying 'Malcolm don't eat anymore pork and don't smoke any more cigarettes. I'll show you how to get out of prison.' He stopped that day thinking it was some sneaky way to escape. Finally, his brother Reginald arrived and told him that his family had converted to Islam and told him that he should become Muslim too.
However but they had actually become followers of an organisation led by someone who preached that the white man is the 'devil' and that all the degradation of black people has been because of this. 'You don't know your true family name, and knowledge of your own kind and to hate everything that is black including himself.'
When Malcolm thought back and reflected over his life, he came to the conclusion that all his problems had stemmed from the inequality and discrimination that he and other black people faced. He dropped the 'slave name' and adopted the surname 'X'. By the time he was released from prison in 1952, he had given up all the vices he had had. He never turned back to any of the bad habits he had had, and became a passionate follower of this cult.
Malcolm began to rescue people out of the ghettoes and help them kick their smoking, drinking and drug habits. He spoke their language and had lived that life, so could understand everything they were going through and appreciate that that lifestyle was not going to help them.
He campaigned relentlessly against injustice and oppression of black people. He became increasingly famous and increased the membership of the nation of Islam from about 400 to 40,000. He was attracting huge crowds and would speak at universities and in debates.
He felt a lot of anger against white people for how they treated black people, and for 12 years he advocated racism against white people. He was constantly receiving negative press coverage and was portrayed as a figure who incited hatred. During this time, he got married to devout lady called Betty and had 4 daughters.
In 1963, Malcolm had become disillusioned by the Nation of Islam, and began to realise that they were not preaching True Islam.
He felt that the way forward for black people lay in uniting them. He said, 'substantially the organisation I hoped to build would differ from the Nation of Islam in that it would embrace all faiths of black men, and deliver an action program that would eliminate the political oppression, economic exploitation and social degradation suffered daily by 22 million African Americans.'
He recognised that while 'the black race needed to get up off its knees and to get on its feet and get rid of its scars and to take a stand for itself,', that anger can blind human vision.
This is an important lesson for Muslims today. If we look back over Islamic history, it is peaceful with different religions coexisting harmoniously. It is only since Muslims have been colonised and oppressed that people have sought violence to solve their problems.
It is only since the Second World War that violence has emerged. And much of the violence associated with Muslims today is like the Black Anger crying out for justice, or the result of organisations who give themselves the title of Islamic movements but who are preaching the exact opposite of Islam and giving Muslims the image of being crazy fundamentalists.
In fact, this is against the very essence of Islam, which advocates goodness. Its very word for hello means 'peace'.
Malcolm eventually realised this himself when he went on Hajj to Makkah. Here he experienced the journey of a lifetime and gained clarity in his vision when he saw Muslims of colours come together in a spirit of brotherly love. 'They were of all complexions, the whole atmosphere was of warmth and friendliness. The feeling hit me that there wasn't really any colour problem here. The effect was as though I had stepped out of prison. … That morning was the start of a radical alteration in my whole outlook about 'white' men.'
He said America needed to understand Islam, because it is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. On this pilgrimage, what he saw forced him me to rearrange much of his though patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of his previous conclusions.
He declared 'I am for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being first and foremost and as such I'm for however and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.'
'I don't speak against the sincere well-meaning good white people. I have learned that there are some. I have learned that not all white people are racists.'
'True Islam taught me that it takes all of the religious, political, economic, psychological and racial ingredients or characteristics to make the Human Family and the Human Society complete.
My friends today are include all kinds, some Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, agnostics, and even atheists. My friends today are black, brown, red, yellow and white!'
He continued on to visit several countries, including in Africa, where he was hugged and besieged for autographs. He stressed the kinship between Africans and their brothers and sisters, the African Americans.
Two years later, just as when he was a child, Malcolm's house was burned down. This time, a terrifying blast in the early hours of the morning awakened him and he scrambled out of his house with his pregnant wife and screaming, frightened children. Yet again his house had been burned down by racists, except this time they were likely to be black racists.
A few days later, he was about to address an audience in Harlem, when he was shot and suffered 21 gunshot wounds to his chest. Malcolm X died in 1665. He had not even turned 40.
He had always felt that like his father, his life too would be curtailed and that there were many people who wanted to kill him. His family were left homeless, his daughters fatherless, and his youngest twins were born after his death.
Malcolm X fought for civil rights alongside Martin Luther King, and secretly felt that his angry noise would make King's peaceful fight easier. He was also good friends with Muhammad Ali, who
embraced Islam and refused to fight in the Vietnam war on the grounds they had done nothing wrong to him, so why should he?
The story of Malcolm X is an amazing one. It is fascinating for so many reasons.
It is the story of an individual who starts off as a victim of racism in society, who has so much to offer but is not given the opportunity to develop his potential.
Who loses his way, then sinks to utter depravity but then not only lifts himself out of it, kicks all his bad habits, turns himself around and finally champions the cause of his entire race.
It's the story of a man who can barely read, but who is self-taught and can pull crowds of 10,000s people when he speaks.
It is the story of someone fighting for the rights of black people not to be despised and treated inhumanely when ideas about black people were deeply ingrained in society.
It also brings to light so many lessons in Islam:
As human beings we have tremendous potential. Man has the ability to be the best of creation and also the worst.
It is through our choices that we determine our fate. In the Quran we are told that every bad action you do, facilitates further bad actions and sins.
So every good deed you do opens that door for other good deeds, but when you start to sin, you not only increase in sins, but you take others with you and your sins start to not seem so bad.
We have to look after our bodies and souls and protect them from harm. Everything we do to harm our bodies – smoking and drinking also has an impact on our souls.
If we make mistakes it's not the end of the world. Even when Malcolm is at his lowest, he is not beyond redemption. It is up to us to evaluate ourselves and see where there is room for improvement.
In Islam we are taught the importance of having 'good' company, because it is like being surrounded by fragrance or stench, whatever you surround yourself with will inevitably permeate from you.
And similarly we are told that we have to encourage good in others and discourage bad. It's not acceptable to close our eyes and let bad things happen around us.
We are taught to fight oppression even if the perpetrators are Muslims. We are told to stand up for the rights of others and not to allow ourselves to be treated unfairly.
All are equal – Islam advocates social justice. It is not just a matter of race, because we know in Islam that we have all been in created equal, but it is also the obligation of the well off to look after the poor.
Non-violence – Islam is a religion of peace. There were times in his life when Malcolm X advocated violence but in Islam there is no justification for using violence against innocent people at any time. You are allowed to defend yourself, but not to attack anyone.
Even today, we have organisations like the Nation of Islam which try to hijack Islam and create the impression that Islam is violent. But that is completely against the spirit of it.

HomeProfilesBrian Darling – A Family Tradition
Brian Darling – A Family Tradition
July 8, 2015 Joe McLean Profiles 0
Brian Darling (Photo: Joe McLean, Flagstick)
By Joe McLean
Brian Darling grew up in a golf environment. He started playing the game at the age of four at the Darling family summer cottage near what was then 16th hole at the Whitlock Golf Club in Hudson, Quebec along with his sisters Judy and Mary.
"I'm certainly not the best golfer in the Darling Family", Brian was quick to comment when asked about the golf tradition among his lineage. Brian, who now makes his home in Ottawa, was referring to the fact that the Darling family is well known in the Quebec golf community and also by Canadians who know their golf history.
Mr. Arthur J. Darling, Brian's grandfather, was the first President of the Whitlock Golf Club and he hosted the first meeting on record for the purpose of organizing their golf club in 1912.
Brian's parents were A.B. (Bill) and Dora (nee Virtue) Darling. Bill was the winner of the Whitlock Golf Club Men's Championship 11 times as well as the Western Canada Amateur Championship once. Dora won 10 Ladies Club Championships as well as the Quebec Amateur 4 times with two runners-up; the Canadian Ladies Amateur in 1936 and she was runner-up in the Canadian Ladies Close Championship in 1937. She was also the Champion of the Canadian Women's Senior Golf Association three times and runner-up twice.
Brian's sister Judy Darling Evans was named to the Quebec Golf Hall of Fame in 1998. Her list of wins is extensive and includes three Quebec Juniors; one Canadian Junior; six Quebec Amateurs; two Canadian Ladies Amateur; one Quebec Senior Ladies and four Whitlock Ladies Club Championships. Brian's sister Mary Darling Chalmers was the winner of the Quebec Junior Girl's Championship three times and is a seven-time Whitlock Ladies Club Champion. She also won three Montreal City and District Championships and seven London Hunt Club Championships.
How's that for a tough act to follow?
To his credit, Brian was named twice to the Quebec Junior Inter-Provincial Team in National Championships and he was a five-time member of the Quebec Team in matches against Ontario. Brian was the winner of the Ottawa Valley Golf Association Match Play Championship in 1975 and also the Ottawa Valley Golf Association (OVGA) Senior Championship in 2003. He has also won numerous Camelot Golf and Country Club Senior Championships and in 2001 he finished in 2nd place to Graham Cooke in the Canadian Senior Men's Championship on his home Camelot Golf and Country Club.
Brian is very proud of his family background as he should be as the Darlings are one of the most decorated golf families in Canada.
As a youngster, he played daily during the summer on the Whitlock course and learned the finer points of the game while caddying for his dad. He spent some time in the Whitlock Pro Shop under Jim McLean but he quickly learned that he wasn't cut out to be golf professional.
Brian earned his Bachelor of Commerce degree at Mount Allison University, became a certified public accountant, working with a couple of small firms in Calgary and then spent the bulk of his working career at the Canadian Revenue Agency. He was eventually promoted to Director status. Asked if he gets a free pass in his retirement, the answer was a quick "No".
For the first two years of his 30 year career at Revenue Canada, Brian worked in Alberta and then came back to Ottawa in 1974. Brian played with some great golfers while playing out of the Willow Park Golf & Country Club in Calgary. In Ottawa, Brian played out of the Rivermead Golf Club and the Camelot Golf and Country Club.
Club championships were hard to come by at Rivermead for Brian with players like Andy and Greg Nezan, Peter Mayo, Glen Seely and Don Rioux winning championships. In OVGA events, Brian was a solid competitor but again he was up against some pretty tough competition. In 1975 he beat Rivermead club-mate Murray Atkinson to win the Ottawa City & District Match Play Glenlea Championship Trophy. Brian made the finals of the Match Play Championship three more times but was defeated by Rivermead club-mates Andy Nezan twice and Don Rioux once. Between 1975 and 1988, Brian was a member of strong Rivermead Intersectional Teams that were winners of the "A" Division of the Ottawa District and Ottawa Valley Golf Association Intersectional competitions 11 times.
Brian also has a history of giving back to the game both with the Ottawa District Golf Association and also at his golf club. Brian was on the ODGA committee that founded the Ottawa Valley Golf Association.
In the Rivermead Golf Club 75th Anniversary Book, Reg Schroeter wrote, "Brian Darling, who had been Director of Pro and Play for the past two years, was then Club President. Almost single-handedly, he set out with unrelenting determination to find out how the Club had managed to get itself into such a critical situation, what needed to be done immediately to keep the Club going, and what steps must be taken afterwards to prevent it happening again." Brian along with Hugh Macdonald and Fern Turpin were credited with turning around a bad financial situation at the Rivermead Golf Club.
Looking back on the situation, Brian is unapologetic. "We did what we had to do. The Club was bleeding money and the bank was ready to foreclose. We instituted tight financial controls and assessed the members and brought the situation under control."
Throughout his time playing golf, Brian says, "I've enjoyed the people I've met and I've gotten back more than I think I've given. I've met people who have assisted my family and me outside of golf." Brian talks about the people he has met and the friendships made over the years. He credits his family for the support they have given him over the years and talks about Tom Hunter who was a mentor to him in his teens, club-mates Andy Nezan and Don Rioux as well as the support given him by golf professionals Andre Harvey, Barry Laphen, Greg White, Marc Peterson and Scott Mikkelsen.
When asked about any regrets, Brian replied that he had none but admitted that he was disappointed with being a runner-up in competitions on many occasions. Looking at the positive side, he realized what he had done to get into the position to win. His only other disappointment in golf is not making any Willingdon Cup or Senior Teams after having success as a junior competitor.
As to the future, Brian wants to enjoy life and stay active. He enjoys his annual month in White Lake, North Carolina and also spending time with family. Brian and his wife Judy have two children and two grandchildren.
Judging by the achievements he has made both on and off the golf course, this writer is of the opinion that Brian Darling has earned his place in the very successful Darling Family golf history. He's given back to the game and been rewarded by getting a lot more back.

This is an intermittent problem. Every now and then when I'm filling a Web form the cursor moves to the wrong place, with the result that I have to erase and (in the right place) retype the characters I wanted. This seems to happen only when I'm typing quickly. How can I stop this behavior?
For example,if you accidentally press the "tab" key ,it will move the cursor to a different/wrong place.
This accident often happens while working on laptop computer,because it has a bit uncomfortable keyboard compared to a desktop computer keyboard.
Thanks, DarKnight, but that's what's happening. This behavior recurred just now and it can't be explained by my hitting a key by mistake.
That's may be a problem with your mouse pointer settings. But before that,I jsust wanna ask you, does the issue occurs while typing in Notepad or Word ,or in any other situations?
I don't use Word and rarely if ever use Notepad. The behavior occurs while filling a Web form (like this) and also, I believe, while composing an email message in Windows Live Mail.
When the issue first occured?
Not sure, but probably within the most recent few months.
I rarely if ever work offline.

On this date: Jerry West retires from the Lakers
When it comes to the history of the Los Angeles Lakers, no one did more to build them into the gold standard of basketball than Jerry West.
Through four decades as a Hall of Fame player, head coach, scout and executive, he put the team on the map, built them from a good franchise into the most famous one in the NBA.
During his career, West took on the huge burden of withstanding the inevitable ups and downs to get the franchise back on top after every failure and setback.
On Aug. 7, 2000, after the Lakers had won their first championship in a dozen years, he decided the stress of his job was too much and stepped down.
Since then, West has added to his already loaded resume.
A look at West's career
After growing up in rural West Virginia and starring at West Virginia University, West was taken by the Lakers with the second pick in the 1960 NBA draft.
They had just moved to L.A. and badly needed stars to promote them and the sport of basketball to a metropolis that was, at the time, mostly preoccupied with baseball and football.
West had a solid rookie season and then emerged as a bona fide superstar in his second season, averaging 30.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists. Along with fellow superstar Elgin Baylor, he led the Lakers to the NBA Finals that year.
Through the rest of the 1960s, West helped carry L.A. to the championship series five more times. Along the way, he gained a reputation for performing late-game heroics, which earned him the nickname "Mr. Clutch."
Unfortunately, the Lakers lost every one of those championships to the same team: the Boston Celtics. Three times they lost in a close seventh game. In 1970, they went down in seven games again, this time to the New York Knicks.
Although West finally earned his ring in 1972, he had become jaded from all those finals losses and didn't experience the joy that usually comes with such an accomplishment.
He retired as a player in 1974, and his career averages of 27 points a game in the regular season and 29.1 points in the postseason are still among the best ever.
West spent three years as the Lakers' head coach in the late 1970s and another three years as a scout before becoming their general manager in 1982.
In that role, he inherited a great team led by Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that had won two titles in three years. West helped it go from a great team to arguably the greatest team ever by the middle of the decade through some shrewd trades, draft picks and free agent signings.
After the "Showtime" era ended with Johnson's HIV-positive test and retirement in 1991, West worked his own magic, landing Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant just five years later to start a new dynasty.
After departing from the Lakers, he spent several years with the Memphis Grizzlies and took them from a struggling expansion team to a respectable playoff squad.
He moved on to become an executive board member of the Golden State Warriors in 2011. In that role, he transformed a franchise that had been a laughingstock into a dynasty.
Today, West has remained in his adopted hometown of L.A. by accepting an executive board member role with the Los Angeles Clippers. Since taking that position, the Clippers have gone from missing the playoffs to becoming a perennial title contender.
It seems like everywhere he has gone, everything West has touched has turned into gold.
No matter how much he keeps distancing himself from the Lakers, he will always be most associated with them and the success they have had.

'Hazes' by Ed Scolding, performed by Anne Denholm.
Each string on a harp is tuned separately. In Hazes one string is tuned down a quarter of a tone, so that when played at the same time as normal strings it produces a particularly rich-sounding chord. Once such a chord is plucked, the pitches ring in a very different way to a normally-tuned chord, with some pitches beating or becoming quieter or louder, and this 'haze' of sound inspired the piece. Hazes is in five short movements, each looking at the 'haze' effect in a different way.
Hazes was commissioned in 2011 by Cardiff Music Festival for performance by Anne Denholm, with support from the PRS for Music Foundation.
Film created by Torque Music Productions.
