just kidding.  needed that test config, but pulled out some deprecated curl stuff hanging around statusmessages and checked tests accordingly

update em-http-request, removed the mutex because we are thin. also removed some uneeded config for database cleaner in the test setup env

fixed the addressable issue; we needed to specify the actuall file the gem gets required as ::sigh::

dashboard controller stopped resolving, but the old behavior seems to work now...nnot sure why, could have been mongoid bug...

DG MS; added database_cleaner for spec runner.  touched up common specs for webhooks; depirated old status message to xml
