Are you the messiah?

This post is not to insinuate, or judge, or to dignify, what seems to me "an idiotic question", but..
..for the eliment of an earlier post Thursday, April 30, 2009 growandknow: Obama ..
and from that origin on the GrowAndKnow.BLOGSPOT excerted:
In My Life Time
He comes not as a THIEF IN THE NIGHT IF.....You WATCH !
Jesus said, "What I say unto you, I say unto all, WATCH!" - Mark 13:37
Directly to homeworship101 Prelude to "are you the messiah?"
(from second page):
Worldly wisdom does not clarify spiritual matters. The simple messages in Yahshuas’ parables revealed matters “. . . hid from the wise and revealed to the babes” (Mat.11:25). Most teachings of the Pharisees were boring the people with dry, lengthy debates, and confusing explanation of the Scriptures and traditions. The people were attracted to Yahshua’s parables, which contained striking images, dramatic action, and bold character development; all built around universal themes of clarifying and defining the Kingdom of YAHWEH-GOD.
The Parables of Yahshua can be recited in minutes, yet the complex message of His parables was so revolutionary, that no other New Testament personality ever tried to copy this aspect of His teachings. Throughout the ages, thousands of volumes of scholarly commentary have been written t-r-y-i-n-g to explain their simple messages.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
...Serpents, brood of vipers!
How can you escape the condemnation of hell?”
Matthew 23:29-33
As the reformer Yahshua challenged the orthodoxy. No one had ever before denounced the priests and Pharisees, or dared to question the doctrine of the elders. He expertly quoted the Prophets as He strongly rebuked Judaism’s stiff-necked religious hierarchy - the establishment religionists who never lived the righteous life. They were corrupt. They were blind guides. They were play-actors, and did not live according to the spirit of the Law (Mat.3:7, 5:20, 23:1-36; Luk.11:37-54, 18:9-14; Jno.8:44).
Yahshua challenged the doctrines of the scribes and rabbis, telling them bluntly that they did not know the Scriptures (Mat.22:29). At least eight times Yahshua scornfully denounced them for being legalistic and fourteen times for being hypocritical. They were excellent in reading and quoting Scripture, to keep the people on a tight leash, but in practice they themselves disobey by following their own ritualized customs.
Yahshua detested some of the Pharisees, the religious fundamentalists of the day, because they did not have a heart for the sinners, and were not sensitive to the needs and hurts of the individual. Yahshua taught of YAHWEH’S free salvation by grace, not by law - very revolutionary. And He taught in His Sermon on the Mount that He brought a Kingdom for the meek and for the poor in spirit (Mat.5:5-11), which clearly was just as opposite as you can get to what the Pharisees taught.
Yahshua strongly scolded them because they were always bitter and constantly finding faults, tearing everyone apart. This, the “holier than thou” crowd, by their own attitude, promoted bigotry, prejudice and hatred. He showed them that their religious worship was mere ritual, with emphasis on minor details, “while ignoring the weightier matters of the Law,” such as “justice, mercy and faith.” He taught that the motive of the heart was important, not just the outward action (Mat.23:1-23).
Yahshua chastised them for the many traditions they added to YAHWEH’S Law, making the Law a hardship on the people.
The religious authorities pretend to love you, but in reality they just want to hold you hostage. The Pharisees slowly gained power over Jewish society, by being the overseers of the many elaborate and intricate Jewish oral laws that they required the people to live by. These “traditions of men,” in an effort to micro manage the people, only burden the community, and has reduced righteousness to mere ceremonialism of outward splendor (Mar.7:6-13).
YAHWEH calls HIS people to unity, not uniformity. The simple - common sense - Laws of YAHWEH do not enslave people, it sets them free!
In the Book of John, when Yahshua witnessed the Gospel to Nicodemus a Pharisee, he could not understand Yahshuas’ plainness of speech (Jon.3:1-21). He also admonished them for not being able to see the signs, “You look but can’t see; you listen but do not hear . . .,” (Mat.13:13; Luk.6:42).
The sage would say,
“What is simple, is rarely understood.”
  1. (from homworship101.com's page 1 of "are you the messiah?"
    "Throughout time
    over 270 different civilizations around the world
    tell the story of a world flood,
    and of a family in a boat full of animals
    that was saved to replenish the Earth."

    "The methods or lessons may vary according to the culture,
    but 'universal' lessons of the sin of pride,
    the moral teachings of “the Golden Rule,”
    the spiritual conflict of good against evil,
    a future 'supernatural being' to conquer evil,
    and an afterlife where man will finally find justice,
    can be found in every major religion."
(page 1 .. as continued..below, as follows-)
YAHWEH'S Covenants are either HIS promises or HIS lies, it is for you to decide. To give hope to Adam and Eve, one was one of HIS first promises was that HE would, sometime in the future, send a 'Redeemer/Messiah' to cancel the curse of sin (Gen.ch.3; The Fist Book of Adam and Eve ch.3, from The Forgotten Books of Eden). This hope of YAHWEH'S Promises, were passed do through the generations to Noah. And the hope of a Redeemer is the central concept in the oldest book of the Bible, Job, thought to predate the Books of Moses.
After the Flood, Noah and the following generations - of whites, Orientals, and blacks - had the same spiritual knowledge of YHWH and the Noahic Covenant (Gen.ch.6-10). When the time of the Tower of Babel came around, Satan began to influence the people and corrupt their spiritual knowledge. After the Tower of Babel, YHWH scattered the people around the world, and their good and bad spiritual stories went with them. Some lost all their original knowledge, but many societies throughout history kept some of the highlights such as the flood, judgment day, the golden rule, a redeemer-messiah who will finally conquer evil. etc. As time went on, different schools of interpretations developed, but some core teachings remained. (Click to enlarge picture.)
The term messiah, means anointed or anointed one. Satan is always mudding the clear spiritual water's, and messiah was a common title used by kings, priests and lunatics in ancient Israel. Just for the record, in our study, Messiah, or in the Greek, Christ, means anointed one of YAHWEH.
But they knew,
one day there would be a special one,
someone who would be unique,
someone who would miraculously deliver them.

YAHWEH still needs someone to take over the Throne of the Earth that Lucifer first failed at, and then Adam. To "redeem" HIS creation, HE has a plan...
At the foundation of the world, HE promised HIS first son Adam that HE will send a Messiah, who would defeat Satan and restore the Kingdom to Earth. Since that time the faithful have wondered when, and how? And since that time, they continued to wait, and watch for the signs.
"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign:
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son,
and shall call His name Immanuel.”
- Isaiah 7:14
The Prophets have been talking about it for centuries. The people heard it all before, the promise of a deliverer is a prophecy that goes w-a-a-a-y back. The Judeans did not live in peace, they have been living under the rule of one despicable despot after another - and “the hills are full of deliverers.”
But they knew,
one day there would be a special one,
someone who would be unique,
someone who would miraculously deliver them.
.
The Prophets told of His position:
“. . . and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His Name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever . . .” Isaiah 9:6-7.
.
The first sign:
A remnant of the Israelite nation must be in Jerusalem (Dan.9:25). The Hebrew people of the tribes Judah, Benjamin and Levites returned to Jerusalem from their Babylonian captivity in 536 B.C.E. When the Judeans returned to their beloved city, Jerusalem, they immediately began to rebuild the city and the Temple. With YAHWEH’S help (told in the Book of Nehemiah) they accomplished this most difficult task in a very short time.
.
The second sign:
They need their Temple up and running. In 20 B.C.E. the Second Temple became known as Herod’s Temple when the Roman King Herod annexed Jerusalem and magnificently enlarged the Temple and its surrounding buildings.
The Prophets foretold all of this. Now the stage is set! The Jews must be in Jerusalem, and the Temple would be rebuilt, because this would make “the way” ready for the promised Messiah (Dan.9:24-26).
By now in Roman Jerusalem,
the Prophets have been quiet for 400 years,
and the faithful are still watching and waiting . . .
The Prophets gave a hint as to the area, Bethlehem (Mic.5:2).
The Prophets foretold He would be born of a virgin, from the tribe of Judah, from the root of Jesse (father of King David), someone with a pure heart and pure in her genetic heritage (Gen.3:15, 49:10; Isa.7:14).
Imagine for a moment, knowing of the great conflict between good and evil, and all of what is at stake on Earth as well as in the heavens, now comes to rest on the shoulders of a young Jewish girl. Remember, YAHWEH brought “the flood” because Satan tried to destroy this genetic blood line and prevent this moment in time. This simple young woman will now bring forth the “crucible” in this intergalactic spiritual war - the Heavenly powers are watching closely.
Many young girls quietly wondered about it? What would it take to qualify? What would it be like? Technically speaking: YAHWEH would not touch this sinful planet. HE is aware of HIS own prohibition against fornicating with the humans. But in some mysterious way, YAHWEH will send HIS seed by way of the Holy Spirit. Miraculously implanted, the Messiah will arrive by way of a natural childbirth by a virgin Hebrew girl. But who would it be? Who is worthy? And when will the Word be given? ( Click picture for info, click here for life in ancient Israel )
The Word is given, and the Angel Gabriel announces to a young Jewish girl named Miriam, commonly called Mary in English, “. . . blessed are you among women! . . . thou shall conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son.” The Angel Gabriel told her His Name will be called, pronounced Yah'shua, which means YAHWEH' saves, “because by the power of His FATHER He will save the people from the “Curse of Sin.”

The Messiah comes as salvation in His FATHER’S Name (Jno.5:43). “He shall be great and called the Son of the High; and YAHWEH the FATHER shall give unto Him the throne of His father David; and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end” (Mat.1:18-25; Luk.1:26-33). (Picture shows the Sacred Names of YAHWEH and Yahshua in the original ancient (Paleo) Hebrew script turning into the modern Hebrew (Masoretic) script. Remember, Hebrew is read from right to left.)
Technically speaking: When the Hebrew name Yahshua is transliterated into English it is written as Joshua, or Yoshua. Jesus is a Greek Hellenist invention.
Scriptures say His people will not deny His Name (Rev.3:8), but the Messiah’s Name along with the CREATOR’S Name stirs great controversies in some circles. How to pronounce it. How to spell it. Should it be used? Does it really matter? It’s too Jewish! It’s a Hebrew Name for the Hebrews only! Space here is too short to review all the supporting details, for more information on the Sacred Names see the links page.
*WARNING: The Messiah's Sacred name is one of the three powerful Sacred Name's opening the way for truth - as much truth as you can stand. There is a severe spiritual penalty for misuse of the Name, Exo:20:7. "Respect is what we owe, love is what we give," and vocalizing the Sacred Name of the CREATOR, the Messiah, and the Holy Spirit must be with respect. If you do not believe in them, then it is better never to say the Name's, (reading does not count), then to use or speak them in a slanderous or disrespectful way.
*BEWARE & BE AWARE: We should be very cautious not to give to man, (or woman), what rightly belongs only to YAHWEH, (Exo.20:7; Rev.19:10). In other words, the Sacred Name's are never-ever to be used for the name or title of a mere mortal.
Miraculously, YAHWEH-GOD by the power of the Holy Spirit sends a spark of life to Miriam, and GOD becomes Man (Luk.1: 34-38). Research shows that He was born on the fifteenth day of Tishri (September-October) during the Feast of Tabernacles. The year of His birth is open to some speculation, it could be anywhere from 4 to 1 B.C.E., with 1 B.C.E. as the best guess.
One must remember when tracking Yahshua’s genealogy, that in Jewish law the mother determines the heritage of the child. If the mother is Jewish and the father is not, the child is Jewish. When the father is Jewish and the mother is not, the child is not considered Jewish. Besides, Miriam’s soon-to-be husband had nothing to do with this miraculous birth.
The Prophets foretold He would be like a Prophet unto Moses. Moses in one of his most specific predictions declared that YAHWEH would raise another Hebrew Prophet in the future whose life would closely resemble his (Deu.18:15-19). In a comparison of the life of Moses and Yahshua of Nazareth, at least fifty elements and events are parallel in both lives. Many of these were beyond the ability of any human control.
Consider the roles that Moses and Yahshua both played: prophet, priest, lawgiver, teacher, leader of men. Both spent their early years in Egypt, miraculously protected from those who sought to put the prophesied deliverers to death.
Both had a Divine mission and taught new truths from YAHWEH, and they confirmed their teaching with miracles performed before many witnesses. Both fasted for forty days and faced spiritual crises on mountain tops. Moses rescued Israel from the dead religion of pagan Egypt, Yahshua rescued Israel from the dead letter of the law of tradition. The people were ungrateful and rebelled against the leadership of both men. The generations that rebelled against them died in their lack of faith, one in the wilderness and one in the siege of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. Moses and Yahshua both died on a hill.
The New Covenant taught by Yahshua is based upon what was written in the Hebrew Testament (Heb.8:8-10), and He began handling His FATHER’S business in the Temple at age twelve (Luke 2:42-43).
Yahshua qualifies as a valid Prophet . . . continue to next page

ABSTRACT : it has been said that of the many religions working together with their government diplomats, it is thought from governing views- that- none can be recalled of, that rests their bases on any “one line of scripture”; yet with regaurd to the rest of the scriptural doctrins contexts, circumstances can exist that allow that one line to be the truth in the way it was explained, therfore an exeption could be possible to exist in a way that is both legal and against the law; in that while the law in government is of collections to positive productive innervissions, it is the obligation to the community and people within to present how it affects those of which jurisprudence is also the governments to enforce and or to protect…
…no one line of scripture found yet, that represents the entire faith…?
All of the above, of what is over or above and beyond…; to destiny and what we are, or what we were or what will we become,; ..what will become of us all, without notice of many things great or small?

TOBACCO

BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT, DECIDE WHAT YOU WILL, BUT TODAY, AGAIN THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHOUT A FAIR REFLECTION OF CITIZEN CONCERN IN MIND, BUT RATHER THE INTEREST OTHER THAN THE REASONINGS GIVEN APPLY...
WHERE SHOULD A PRESIDENT STAND ON ISSUES OUTSIDE HIS AREAS OF EXPERTISE, OTHER THAN THE EXPERTS OPPINIONS THAT HE IS GIVEN... THAT IS IF ANY OTHER INTERESTS EXISTS OR CAN BE SEPPERATED?
HOW COULD ANY OF US CITEZENS FIND OUT THE TRUTHS?
TODAY, A LAW PASSING AS A LIE IS TOLD SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE IS "NO GOVERNMENT EXCEPTED AUTHORITY" (by rule) TO OPPOSE THE GOVERNMENT'S (NOT THE PEOPLE'S)INTEREST (SO..this "what's best" is and example of "White.Wash.ing"(if I can coin that phrase to mean White House/U.S. Government\Washington D.C. - STATEMENTS THAT DIFFER FROM OTHER TRUTHS) :
Example: TOBACCO
Because the chromosomes of tobacco so quickly enter the human nervous system and adapt so closely to the formation models of the chromosomes that the mix or blend with or to; then you could attach, or attack tobacco users health and insurrance reality, to any health problem that relates to the human nervous system(and who can prove elsewise? 30 YEARS AND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND MILLIONS OF RATS WERE SPENT{OR EXAUHSTED TO PROVE THAT "1 RAT" GOT CANCER FROM A SPECIFIC CONDITION WITH THE TOBACCO)
TODAYS REPORT
LIE #1 (any figures other than the Governt's figures) More than 400,000 people die every year from tobacco-related diseases, according to government figures. About 45 million U.S. adults are smokers, though the prevalence has fallen since the U.S. surgeon general's warning 45 years ago that tobacco causes lung cancer.
The House, which first passed a similar FDA bill in April, voted 307-97 to endorse the version passed 79-17 by the Senate on Thursday.

(WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING)
President Barack Obama quickly expressed his support, appearing in the Rose Garden almost immediately after the House gave final approval to the bill giving the Food and Drug Administration control over tobacco production, marketing and sales.
LIE #2 (THAT ONLY BY THE FDA/GOVERNMENT CONTROL can THIS BE PERSUADED)
The measure puts special emphasis on dissuading some of the 3,500 young people who every day smoke a cigarette for the first time. It prohibits use of candied and flavored cigarettes popular among young people and severely restricts advertisements and promotions targeted toward youth. It bans use of words such as "mild" or "light" that give the impression that the brand is safer. It requires stronger warning

What can we figure anyway?

Tobacco has had a tough place in its place between authority/government control and individual, citizen, andd subject's usage privelidge. Arguements exist today that are some 3- 5000 year old arguements, or debates, carved in stone tablets of "whether or not to allow the use of tobacco in the temples?"

No "one" has a right to copyright God either, although this is unrelated it is being preached by relgious orginizations that are Christian, I could say in the very least, JESUS could have.
(I wont say what I believe-its not important, right?)
Science has its own views that dictate or outline some fathoms.
Is there a popular science and a forbidden science like a forbidden archaeology?
A popular politics and a forbidden?

So what figures? Impressionists?
Dissuading some of the 3,500 young people A day FROM A "TRY OF ANY TOBACCO PRODUCT" for the first time?
How about 3,500 ADULTS TO SAY every day THAT WOULD HAVE STOPPED ME THAT DAY OR ANYDAY?
How about if it was just something adults did with no advertising or visual usage?
Children would stop and so would the adults who cant see it or smell it either.
God could still.
The problem with that is the need is not always an addiction and is usefulness can be seriously needed at almost any time and place....(, never mind)
Are there somethings we do just because we like the way they effect us?


I got an email today in humor, and the funny thing was, "I had to search to find if it were true".... The Subject was: "Postal Service Recall - Important...."
Message: The Postal Services created a new stamp with a picture of President Obama.
The stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation.
After a month of testing and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings:

1. The stamp is in perfect order.
2. There is nothing wrong with the adhesive.
3. People are spitting on the wrong side.
end email

PROTOCOL

RELIGION (First)
Somewhere the protocol of learning from religions has been lost in a world filled with skepticism and defensiveness.
The temple dreaming process no longer exists in the world, even where there are temples. That was a sacred process and function of temples throughout history. When Jacob fell asleep on the great stone which became known as Jacob’s Pillar it wasn’t by accident or because he was tired. This was a stone from an ancient temple that was taken into Egypt when Joseph invited his eleven brothers to join him. It was used to build the Temple at Armana and then was taken by Gathelus and Scota to the shores of Port of Gathelus (Portugal) and later on through Ireland into Scotland. Many feel that the Stone of Scone is that rock.

Few people understand the true nature of Western Europe and the part it played in the origins of Christianity.
Look For A Class on The Advice of Jesus
http://www.kimballcollege.com/product_info.php?products_id=291
Is so critical for us today.
This advice was preserved by those who kept sacred libraries in Western Europe.
Many have asked me for more of the words of Jesus that survive in our day.
This is a complete hour of pure advice from the lips of Jesus. What a treat!

Another class on Pilate and Herod has the same flavor with one problem.
Pilate was a Spaniard who was educated in Great Britain. This is exactly where he admits that. So was Lucius Sejanus, the Praetorian Prefect for Tiberius Caesar at the time of the crucifixion. In fact the original name for Pontius was Lucius, like his mentor.
This name suggests that both of them came from the same region and that is how they grew to know each other. That is also part of the reason Pilate had to explain his actions at the crucifixion to Tiberius. The letter of Herod is a little more complicated.

The letter from the Vatican written by Herod mixes Herod the Great and Herod Antipas as a single person. That is one of the problems when scribes don’t know what they are doing over centuries. However, the subsequent portion of the letter sets the record straight and so we put the proper name back where it belonged. Both these letters came out of the Vatican Library. What an insight into the actual events of the crucifixion from the hands of those who were there.

The science fiction of today is the reality of tomorrow. Therefore, to discard religion based on supernatural claims isn’t logical. You would expect the creator of the universe to do things that appear magical to us. Science has insisted that they are the gate keepers of truth. They are far more willing to wave the extraordinary proof requirement for their own theories than they would for religion.

Obama hopes to replace Justice Souter by October (AP)
AP - President Barack Obama said Friday he will replace retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter with someone who shares the president's respect for "constitutional values" and hopes to have "him or her" seated on the nation's highest court by the start of the next term in October. In a dramatic flourish, Obama interrupted spokesman Robert Gibbs' daily press briefing to announce that he had just talked to Souter.

The President Of The United States Of America

President George W. Bush is our current President and in highest position in our Executive Branch.

The election process for our next President has not yet been completed.

After the elections held on November 4th, 2008, the victor was Barack H. Obama
(see candidates at bottom of page).

The qualifications to meet the requierements for this position have been questioned and have not yet been fully verrified by the process set forth in our Judicial Branch, The Supreme Court, since they issued their ruling November 3, 2008; which should continue this week.... pushed up to December, then a ruling pushing up to January (I believe this is a hearing the day before the inauguration...)
I would like to point out, for a speedy descision to be made, a phrase here from Hamilton ~via~ a posted LINKS FOLDER titled "turning on a dime": The degree in which a measure is necessary, can never be a test of thelegal right to adopt it; that must be a matter of opinion, and can onlybe a test of expediency. The relation between the measure and the end;between the nature of the mean employed toward the execution of apower, and the object of that power must be the criterion ofconstitutionality, not the more or less of necessity or utility.

Reform Peace Prosperity ; Country First

One Nation Under God with Liberty and Justice For All.

I got stranded and tried to vote in the nearest election poll; voting anywhere than at your registrared voting district is not permitted, I was turned away.

A Prayer Now is all I can Add for my Vote For John McCain.

KING, Kingdom ; Community, Content / One Country Under God , Idivisable, With Liberty and Justice For All

I GOT'A SHARE THIS EZINE ARTICLE TO RELATE TO OUR "VOTE FOR PRESIDENT" -
One Country Under God , Idivisable, With Liberty and Justice For All
(thats my take on the authority in representation as "Our President")

So where do we get lost between Politics and what Einstein describes as such a Bible as the Christians as being written in a somewhat childlike perpective audiance... or believers?
Why would Einstein pitch to us that Budism wouyld be much more likely a true religion from mans perspective...(not to contradict any religion or to blasphm Holy or Political rehtoric)?

Content and contexts

Grab the SiteProNews RSS Feed
Content is Dead.Community is King NowBy Stoney DeGeyter (c) 2007 I can hardly bring myself to say the old cliche about content being... well, you know. I think it's one of the original cliche's in the SEO industry. And as redundant as it has become, for whatever reason we keep hearing it over and over again. And every now and then a new study pops up seemingly proving, once again, that content is... uh, good.

But much like a TV producer suggesting "video is king" or a radio advertiser demanding that "audio is king", so goes the SEO demanding the same about content. Content has its role--and an important one at that, but it's not the be-all, end-all of online marketing. Not even close.
But the roots of the "content is" movement are important for our industry. The mantra was first heard in the early days of the search engine optimization industry when SEOs were doing nothing more than throwing a bunch of keywords on a page and hoping they ranked well. Little or no thought or consideration was given to the readability of the web page. After all, it's only rankings that matter, right? But those of us who learned to game search engines slowly began to learn something that those in the marketing industry have known for years. Words sell. Or turn people off, depending on what's written and how it's written.
So the movement to developing good content--real content--was an important one for our industry. But to get there we had to have the content mantra beat into our head over and over (and over). We got it. We know.
The King is Losing His Grip on the Kingdom
But like any worthy cause, we've reached a point where the mantra has been used and abused to the point where we use whatever we can find to prove once again that content is... y'know, that. Take a recent study by OPA and Nielsen/ NetRatings that shows that Internet users are spending more time than ever on content based websites.

Share of Time Spent Online
Commerce: 13.8% Communications: 32.0% Content: 49.6% Search: 4.5%
That seems to confirm what many have been saying for years. Content is... uh, great for web marketing. And I've seen a few posts around the blogosphere and forums using this data to make that connection. The problem is, it's not really there.
With the rise in popularity of blogs and social media sites it's no wonder that more people spend their time reading online than anything else. While time reading and gathering information online has increased, time spent shopping has actually decreased, down over 2% from a year before. But does that tell us anything about marketing online? No, not really.
We know people like information and we know they like to communicate. We also know people like to shop and online shopping has continued to íncrease year over year. All this study suggests is what we spend most of our time doing on the web. Well, true enough, I don't spend most of my time shopping.
Since when is it the goal of ecommerce sites to get people to spend a long time on their site? Isn't it more important to drive shoppers to the sale and get the conversion? Step 1: Get traffíc. Step 2: Keep visitors engaged. Step 3: Close the sale. That's not necessarily a process that necessitates long periods of time spent on a site.
In no way do I want to diminish the importance of content on ecommerce websites. Having a database of information that helps visitors make their decision, helpful tutorials, etc. can improve your visitor's overall experience and keep them coming back to your site. But the goal of all of that is to lead people to the sale.
Community Killed Content and Stole the Throne
If I were to interpret this data I wouldn't necessarily come away thinking content is... so very important. What I would conclude, however is that we need to build websites that meet a number of users needs. Adding more content to your ecommerce site is not the magic bullet. What is, however, is creating a great user experience and providing just the right amount of information and customer engagement that shoppers need to get to the conversion goal. That can be done through a number of means.
Many online stores are already paving the way by opening the door to ratings and reviews. Others are doing that by creating blogs to disseminate important and relevant industry information along with tips and tutorials. Still others do that by creating an information database that can visitors frequent to gain additional insights.
I might suggest that the best ecommerce websites are not those that build content around their products but build a community around the product interest. By creating a place where shoppers can come and gain information, learn more about the products and discuss or share information with others and then make purchases as well, will do more for sales than simply creating a shopping website.
By building a community you not only sell more products but you build brand recognition and customer loyalty. And both of those are worth far more than a single one-off sell. So while content may not be dead (not by a long shot, really), there is a new king in the online marketing industry. Long live community. Long live the (new) king.

][/\/\|)B Excert

The Wide Blue Road is an early film by Gillo Pontecorvo, the director who gained international fame a decade later with The Battle of Algiers in 1966.
For those who have seen the later film, a monument of political cinema, the first word to come to mind is likely to be
"uncompromising," so it's hard to think of The Wide Blue Road without considering how compromised it was, at least in the conditions of its production. Working in Italy in 1957, in the waning years of the neo-realist movement, Pontecorvo hoped to make his film in that style, shooting in grainy black and white, using non-actors, and improvising with the script.
It didn't turn out that way.

If you've checked these references, then you can easily see how our all-wise God has played a beautiful joke on the modern revisionists. People who do not even believe the KJV quote it every day! Furthermore, if you'll grab yourself a NIV, a NCV, a TEV, or anything else, you'll find that many of these modern sayings have been destroyed by the "better language" of the Laodiceans.
For example, I always thought that when I was a young boy my father and I crossed the Mississippi on a ferry boat (II Sam. 19:18), but I guess we must have crossed at the ford instead (NIV). Then there were times when I got out of line and dad would really set me in my place (Neh. 13:11). Too bad he didn't have a NIV, for he could have stationed me at my post. I guess there was nothing dad loved more than going out early on Saturday mornings and catching a mess of fish (Gen. 43:34). It's a good thing we didn't have a NKJV in those days, for he would have only caught a serving. We usually had hushpuppies with that fish dinner, but sometimes we just had light bread (Num. 21:5). That is, until the neighbors came over with their New American Bible. Then we had wretched food. Then dad would always say, "Cheer up, son, it'll be better next time!" (Deu. 24:5) Too bad he didn't have a NKJV, for I'm sure he would have said, "Come on, boy, bring happiness to yourself!"
So you get the point: the new versions don't stand a chance when competing with the KJV to use the most "modern" speech! Go ahead, have yourself some fun. Learn to appreciate God's sense of humor! Grab a new translation and see first hand how the modern versions are still stuck in the Dark Ages when it comes to keeping up with modern speech.

The Challenge of The Voters is That, Over-All, It Is "Our Vote", that counts!

...oooh, it seems that "Our" in "Our Vote" could come down to "Our" Judicial Branch decisions that could put any election results into, one, a position to be revoted on by "Our" Congress, limiting their's to the Judicial Branch approved candidates of "Our's", which would limit the possibility to gain the popular candidate's victory (simply because there are less people in congress than when "our" vote is counted with their's) and therfore to give us a result of a victor of a more narrowed representation to that of the influences in likes with the majority of citizens; "Us"; or two, a New Nationwide Vote for "Us" all, to be "Our President".



In Short: This is NOT Over Yet And "We" "Are Not" "Hearing Yeah Or Neah About This:" At "ALL" From (Our) "Reliable News Sources" ...YET...?

FINAL JUDGEMENT

iS THIS, FINALY THE LAST CASE? Docket for 08A505 Philip J. Berg, Applicant. v. Barack Obama, et al. ... Application (08A505) referred to the Court. Dec 23 2008, DISTRIBUTED for Conference of January 16, 2009. ... Philip J. Berg, 555 Andorra Glen Court, Suite 12, (610) 825-3134 ...www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08a505.htm - 4k Momentum by the consitancy of the Supreme Court's decision history of cases so far on this issue are largely in favor of "Not Hearing"; whether this is the last case, I Do Not Know. My wonder is really more about the Supreme Court Establishment's Integrity; i.e.: if one of them says I don't want to hear it, then none of them will say they will either; if any think "we should here this" then one of them should; all this concidering our best interests and not the political structures branched dominion leveraging. The math makes me wonder if anyone could seek a fair hearing when your asking it to be heard against or "about" one of the three branches, "by" one of the other three branches, of what the third and last branch has seeded; can this formula include a fair chance for anyone who is not part "of a branch" but a remedial thread? Thats why I feel The Constitution is the X-factor here. Isn't it? Obama himself is a Lawyer and the dynamics of the Presidential job seems to pose a fabric of obstacle by its nature on the President's weeknesses...just like everthing else about the U.S. would be by its competitor's. Obama could handle his case fine, I figure. The case, though it seems, is about the people, only in this case the Fifth Amendment appears but does what? Its my MATH, followed by case dockets. ITS ABOUT OUR POWERS The FORMULA is "2 Of 3" Branches are divided or multiplied by "1 of the 2" of 3. Does The 3rd have any participation? Or Did They? The issue is not only will the case be heard as its already been pushed up to this level, but a Part is an "X" factor; The Constitution. The "3" are our Branches of Government. The campaign was for change

Note: ARTICLE 2 SECTION 1 OF THE CONSTITUTION Article II Section 1. The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same term, be elected, as follows: Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector. The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves. And they shall make a list of all the persons voted for, and of the number of votes for each; which list they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such majority, and have an equal number of votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately choose by ballot one of them for President; and if no person have a majority, then from the five highest on the list the said House shall in like manner choose the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by States, the representation from each state having one vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. In every case, after the choice of the President, the person having the greatest number of votes of the electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal votes, the Senate shall choose from them by ballot the Vice President. The Congress may determine the time of choosing the electors, and the day on which they shall give their votes; which day shall be the same throughout the United States. No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States. In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the disability be removed, or a President shall be elected. The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them. Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Anti-Lobbying Restrictions Applicable to Community ServicesAdministration Grantees

The anti-lobbying rider in the Community Services Administration(CSA) appropriation act is broader than the generally applicablerestrictions on lobbying by executive officers, and prohibits recipientsof CSA grant funds from engaging in any activity designed to influencelegislation pending before Congress, including direct contacts withCongress.

Congress is under no obligation to make funds available to any agencyfor every authorized activity in any given fiscal year, and there shouldbe no presumption that it has done so.

The anti-lobbying statute, 18 U.S.C. Section 1913, and the general"publicity and propaganda" rider in the General GovernmentAppropriations Act, have been narrowly construed to prohibit the use offederal funds for "grassroots" lobbying, but not to prohibit a widerange of necessary communications between the Executive on the one hand,and Congress and the general public on the other. The considerationsthat underlie this narrow construction are irrelevant to a prohibitionagainst lobbying by private persons receiving federal grants andcontracts.

Statements made by individual legislators and committees after theenactment of legislation carry little weight in statutoryinterpretation, and are not a sufficient basis for altering a conclusionrequired by the plain meaning of the statutory language.

MEMORANDUM OPINION FOR THE COUNSEL TO THE DIRECTOR, OFFICE OFMANAGEMENT AND BUDGET

On January 19, 1981, the Director of the Community ServicesAdministration (CSA) published in the Federal Register an interpretiveruling by the CSA General Counsel discussing the legal effect of an"anti-lobbying" rider that applies to CSA appropriations. See 46 Fed.Reg. 4919. The history and language of the rider are set out in themargin. /1/ In his ruling, the CSA General Counsel concluded that therider, in its application to CSA grantees, imposes anti-lobbyingrestrictions that are no more stringent than those imposed uponexecutive officers and employees by 18 U.S.C. Section 1913 /2/ and bythe traditional "publicity and propaganda" rider contained in theTreasury, Postal Service, and General Government Appropriations Act./3/ In reliance upon that legal conclusion, the Director of CSA "waived"certain anti-lobbying restrictions contained in existing CSA grants.Those restrictions were apparently based upon an older, more stringentinterpretation of the rider. You have asked whether, in the opinion ofthis Office, the conclusions reached by the General Counsel were legallycorrect.

I.

The CSA rider imposes two different kinds of restrictions on the useof appropriated funds. The first, set forth in the first sentence of therider, prohibits the use of funds "for publicity and propagandapurposes" or for the preparation or use of any "kit, pamphlet, booklet,publication, radio, television, or film presentation designed to supportor defeat legislation pending before Congress, except in presentation toCongress itself." This language is similar to the language of thetraditional "publicity and propaganda" rider contained in the GeneralAppropriations Act. Unlike the traditional rider, however, the CSA ridercatalogs the kinds of materials and "presentations" for whichappropriated funds may not be expended (kits, pamphlets, etc.), and itauthorizes at least two kinds of expenditures. It expressly permitsexpenditures for the maintenance of "normal and recognizedexecutive-legislative relationships," and it seems to contemplate thatfunds may be expended for the preparation of kits, pamphlets, and other"presentations" that are made directly to Congress itself.

The second restriction is set out in the second sentence of therider. Unlike the first, it applies only to persons who receiveappropriated funds under government grants or contracts. The secondsentence states flatly that "(n)o part of any appropriation contained inthis Act shall be used to pay the salary or expenses of any grant orcontract recipient or agent acting for such recipient to engage in anyactivity designed to influence legislation or appropriations pendingbefore Congress." Because this language forbids the payment of expensesfor "any activity" designed to influence legislation pending beforeCongress, it is far broader than the language of the traditional"publicity and propaganda" rider. Moreover, because it applies expresslyto grantees and contractors and makes no express provision for directcontacts with Congress, it is quite unlike the language of the"anti-lobbying" statute, 18 U.S.C. Section 1913.

President Election Overview

I don't know if any of the cases involving the Supreme Court and this years (2008) election will change or add to the following result I picked up on the Cornell Univesity ""Search "LII" "" KEYWORDING "PRESIDENT" and clicking onto the results found under "Elections": election law: an overview Citizens make choices by voting in elections. Two types of elections exist: general elections and special elections. A general election occurs at a regularly scheduled interval as mandated by law. A special election would be held when something arises that does not arise on a regular basis or routine. For instance, if an elected-office suddenly becomes vacant or a legislature wants to put a referendum before the voters, then they can use a special election. The electoral process ensures that no leader can take control for an extended amount of time without forcing the elected-official to answer to the will of the people. Nevertheless, government must play an active role in structuring elections and the electoral process. Consequently, individual states carry out the electoral process by following their own state laws. Sections 2 and 4 of Article I of the U.S. Constitution provide states the right to choose their own Representatives and Senators for the United States Congress. The 17th Amendment, however, mandates that the people directly elect the senators, and explicitly bars state legislatures from choosing the state's U.S. Senators. Presidential Elections: The Electoral College In Presidential elections, the people of the respective states vote for a Presidential candidate by choosing that candidate's slate of Electors. See Section 1 of Article II of the U.S. Constitution. After the state's citizens have chosen a slate of Electors, the Electors then formally elect the President and Vice-President by casting their respective votes. When all states' slates of Electors arrive to cast their votes, the aggregate group makes up that which has come to be known as "the Electoral College." The Office of the Federal Register coordinates the Electoral College. Comprised of 538 Electors, the number of total votes equals the aggregate number of Representatives and Senators that currently make up Congress. The number of Electors in a given state's slate equals its number of U.S. Representatives plus two. The number of Representatives that a state has is determined by considering the state's population in proportion to all other states. Accordingly, each state receives a proportional number of Representatives. The government takes the national census every ten years to determine each state's population. When this occurs, a state potentially can gain or lose Congressmen, which affect the number of Electors, known as electoral votes, that the state will have at the Electoral College. Of the 50 states, forty-eight have a "winner-take-all" system. Washington D.C. follows the same system. A winner-take-all system assigns that state's entire slate of Electors to the candidate who won the popular vote, regardless of how close the popular vote in the state actually was. Maine and Nebraska use different systems in which they divide their states into districts and assign one electoral vote per district. The Presidential candidate who wins a particular district receives that district's electoral vote. Under this system, Maine and Nebraska could potentially split their electoral votes between candidates, although no Presidential election has ever witnessed either state splitting. No federal law exists that binds Electors to vote for a certain candidate. However, twenty-six states have developed laws for this purpose. After each state has submitted their Electors' votes, the votes are counted and a President and Vice-President are named. Usually, the Electoral College emerges with a winner identical to the U.S. popular vote. However, in 1824, 1876, 1888, and 2000, the Electoral College winner lost the popular vote. Congressional Elections States may individually decide how to carry out their elections for Representatives, Senators and electors. Each state differs in structure, with most assigning administrative offices the task of running elections. States also differ on rules concerning when, where and how citizens may vote (see Congressional Districts). While the people of the respective states have always directly elected Representatives, most individual state legislatures chose the U.S. Senators that would represent that state until the ratification of the 17th Amendment in 1913. A product of the Progressive Era's call for more democracy, the 17th Amendment gave citizens more influence over the federal government. Changes in Election Law While Amendments to the U.S. Constitution are rare, seven of the twenty-seven Amendments that have passed deal with altering the process of electing the United States Federal Government. The 12th Amendment clarifies that each Elector of the Electoral College must cast two votes - one for President and one for Vice President. The 15th Amendment disallows abridging the right to vote on the basis of race, and the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote. The 17th Amendment gives the people the right to directly elect their U.S. Senators. The 23rd Amendment granted electoral votes to Washington D.C. The 24th Amendment eliminated Poll Taxes, and the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18. Recently-passed federal statutes have created a means for military personnel and overseas citizens to vote and have aided the elderly and disabled citizens' ability to vote. In 1993 Congress passed the "motor voter" law, which enables citizens to register to vote when they apply for driver's licenses. Some states have recently begun adopting voter identification laws as well in an effort to combat voter fraud. These laws require voters to present identification when they arrive at the polling location to vote. Many felt that Indiana had the most stringent requirement because it required voters to present photo identification. Because some felt that the statute disproportionately burdened the elderly and the minorities, the statute was challenged and went before the U.S. Supreme Court in Crawford v. Marion (07-21). The Supreme Court, however, upheld the law. Campaign Reform In 1971 Congress passed the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) to closely regulate federal elections. The law increased necessary disclosure of federal campaign contributions and created the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) to administer federal elections. In 1979 the FEC permitted political parties to spend unlimited amounts of hard money on certain activities, and soft money went unregulated by the FEC. Hard money refers to funding donated directly to a campaign or political party, whereas soft money refers to funding contributed to organizations, often known as 527s, that advocate issues and indirectly advocate a candidate, without specifically advocating for the election or defeat of a particular candidate. Following the law's passage, the U.S. Supreme Court took up the law's constitutionality in Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1 (1976), a landmark decision concerning the interplay between campaign regulations and First Amendment rights. In Buckley the Supreme Court ruled that the FEC could regulate and limit donations to campaigns but could not cap the amount of money that a political campaign could spend because doing so violates the First Amendment. Buckley also held that the FEC could not constitutionally regulate soft money. Over the next three decades, concerns with the increasing costs of conducting a political campaign did not subside, and the popularity of soft money drove much of this concern. In accordance with this concern, Congress passed the McCain-Feingold (Bipartisan Campaign Reform) Act of 2002 (BCRA). The BCRA amended the FECA to add a provision, which disallowed federal candidates from using corporate and union funding to launch television ads on satellite or cable within 30 days of a primary and 60 days of a general election. A second amendment prohibited candidates and political parties at both the national and state levels from spending soft money on federal elections. Immediately after the President signed the law, members of the U.S. Congress challenged the law's constitutionality before the U.S. Supreme Court. In McConnell v. FEC, 540 U.S. 93 (2003), the Court upheld the Act's key provisions. However, with two new justices on the bench in 2006, the Supreme Court reengaged the campaign finance debate, striking down a Vermont law because the low campaign expenditure ceiling it implemented was disproportionate to the goal it advanced. See Randall v. Sorrell, 548 U.S. 230 (2006). Then, in 2007 the Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision in FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life. 551 U.S. ___. As it applied to Wisconsin Right to Life, the Court struck down the portion of the BCRA that prohibited organizations from running issue ads within a certain number of days of the election because the provision restricted political speech and therefore violated the First Amendment rights of the organization. The Supreme Court also expounded on the BCRA's provision known as "the Millionaire's Amendment" in the 2008 case of Davis v. FEC (07-320). The Millionaire's Amendment only affected candidates who had spent in excess of $350,000 in personal funds on their own campaign. The BCRA permitted the opponents of these candidates to receive triple the amount of personal contributions typically allowed and permitted the opponents to accept coordinated party contributions without limit, but the BCRA held self-financing candidates to the normal limit. Finding that the provision burdened free speech and associational rights, the Supreme Court struck down the provision as well. The combination of Davis and Wisconsin Right to Life leaves the BCRA in serious limbo. For more information, see LII's Backgrounder on the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act Cases. Categories:
