revised the strategy for initializing facebook and parse and logging in
i load the javascript last
i allow parse to do internal initialization as soon as it loads the script
i then allow facebook to do asynchronous initialization
when facebook is done i initialize the lifecard pages
then i try to force login the user (which brings a popup up which I may have to add a button to circumvent)
and then i run the parse router to resolve the url request - based on user login state
the login itself has been replaced with a splash screen
