Affiliate Marketing AdvertisingAdvertising Affiliate Marketing
Seven Key Affiliate Marketing Trends for 2018
Unlike what you may have overheard, affiliate marketing is not doomed. We' re looking at how affiliate marketing is evolving, where it's going, and what top trending affiliate marketing companies should be watching. affiliate marketing goes into the alcove. Many affiliate marketing companies in the past concentrated on a holistic view that offered up to a hundred or a thousand websites, even if they had little control or give little attention to them.
However, in 2018, recruiters will direct their attention towards smaller groups of high credibility, focused and beloved flu-causers. In order to illustrate your strategies, concentrate on some important influencing factors in your area. Affiliate marketeers concentrate on national. Alternative adverts - adverts that match the look, feel and styling of the platforms on which they appear - will ultimately displace the use of advertising banners.
Marketing professionals are using more and more online tools such as Instagram Stories to place advertisements in ways that consumers hardly recognise (or understand) as advertising. Enhance your results by creating natively designed advertising events that your clients like to use alongside the remainder of their own assets. Advertisement goes beyond the advertisement. In addition to advertising on the move, affiliate marketing will continue to focus on the use of videos, speech and other new technology.
By 2021, business insiders forecast that videos will account for 82% of total web-broadcasts. Survival rates for online videos are projected to increase 15-fold, from 3% of online videos to 13% by 2021. Whilst there is still much to see about the impact of voices on advertising and searching, the smartest marketers and editors are at least watching where they're going and at best already weave them into their marketing strategies.
In order to make sure that you are always one step ahead, you should test offline format and track where your best visitors come from and how your clients enjoy consuming your best assets. Over the past few years, several high-profile brand names and opinion leaders (Warner Brothers and the Kardashians, to name but a few) have been scrutinised for not publishing payed ads.
In addition to this increased FTC emphasis, the new General Protection Data Regulation (GDPR) rules ensure that affiliate marketing professionals are focusing more than ever on regulatory requirements and visibility. It' s nothing new that the sector is heading in the direction of mobiles, with 50% increase in last year's mobiles alone.
In 2018, the actual emphasis will be on how to incorporate the handset into the remainder of the travel experience so that advertiser can better understanding consumers, reconnect and not waste re-targeting time. affiliate marketeers use the best available tech. Rather than build from the bottom up, many network companies use and build on already available technologies to adapt their own system.
Kiip, a portable advertising ecosystem with McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, Wrigley, Pepsi and BMW customers, for example, chose to base on HasOffers instead of zero. "Once we sat down with the HasOffers staff, it quickly became clear that we could count on something that was already in place and our engineering staff could concentrate on the development of our proprietary sauce," said Corrigan Neralich, Senior Director of Advertising Operations.
affiliate marketing is continuing to flourish and we anticipate 2018 to be a year of change as the whole sector becomes more intelligent, strategically focused and transparent.

Self-employment or Employment Taxes
In the United States, most businesses are pass-through entities [source: Tax Foundation]. And when it comes to income tax, "passing through" the profits is a huge benefit. In the case of the sole proprietorship or partnership, however, it has a significant downside: self-employment taxes.
Social Security and Medicare contributions, collectively known as employment taxes, are calculated based on a person's income. When you work for a company as an employee, your income is the wages you take home, and you and the company split the cost of your employment taxes [source: IRS]. When you work for yourself, your income is your business's entire net profit, and no one is splitting anything [sources: IRS, Dratch].
Self-employment taxes can be a huge drain. For this reason, many self-employed small-business owners choose the S corporation structure. In essence, S corporations combine the income-tax benefit of passing through profits with the employment-tax benefit of being employed by someone else.
In corporations, both C and S types, owners also can be employees. The business pays them wages just like any other employees. And as employees, those business owners pay employment taxes only on their wages, not on their companies' entire profits [source: Piper].
This can mean significant savings. Self-employment tax is 15.3 percent for the 2015 tax year [source: IRS]. If a sole proprietor's business profits total $75,000 for 2015, he pays 15.3 percent of $75,000, or $11,475, for Social Security and Medicare.
If an S corporation brings in $75,000, and out of that $75,000 the owner pays herself a salary of $40,000, she pays 15.3 percent of $40,000, or $6,120. That's a savings of $5,355.
Of course, this may not work out to an overall savings of $5,355. Since tax filing is a lot more complex for an S corporation, the owner will be spending more time on tax paperwork, and time is money.
Ultimately, which structure is most beneficial depends on the specifics of the company and the corresponding minutiae of the U.S. tax code. But, in short: If you're mostly looking for tax simplicity, a sole proprietorship or partnership is a good bet. If you're mostly looking for tax savings and have fewer than 100 owners, an S corporation might be the right fit.
If you've got 1,000 owners, simplicity is probably not in the cards, and the S corporation isn't an option. C corporation it is.
Author's Note: How does your business structure affect your business taxes?
When I went into business for myself, I chose to structure as an S corporation, and this did save me considerable cash. I was paying self-employment taxes on 20 percent of my profits instead of 100 percent. However, it's worth noting that after a few years, I learned I wasn't paying myself enough. Apparently, the IRS isn't stupid, and the organization expects S corporation owners to pay themselves a reasonable salary. I learned that audits of S corporations were increasing in recent years due to owners paying themselves a pittance and therefore getting away with paying almost nothing into Medicare and Social Security. So now, I pay myself a salary that's 50 percent of my profits. But hey, it's still a savings.

8 Tips to Drop Fat and Build Mass—Summer's Coming Fast
Q: The first day of [meteorological] spring slapped me in the face. My abs are gone and I feel "loose," as in soft. I need to drop fat, especially around my middle, and add some hard muscle—like right now. How do I get it going and see abs?
A: Don't panic. You still have about 12 weeks until summer. But because fat-loss is a slow process—if you want to hold and even gain muscle—you need to start NOW.[Read more…]
Variation for Massive Pump Creation
Q: I'm using your 10×10 method after all the great feedback I've read, and I love it. Because the poundages are lighter, my joint problems are disappearing, and I'm already seeing new muscle after only three weeks. I love the enormous pumps too! My question is, I feel 10×10 on every exercise, but the intensity varies a lot. Do you guys ever recommend increasing the reps, like 10 sets of 12 reps?
A: For those who aren't familiar with it, 10×10 is taking a weight with which you could get 20 reps, but you only do 10; rest for 30 seconds, then do another 10 reps—and so on until you complete 10 sets of 10 reps. The first few sets are easy; the last few are brutal. [Read more…]

Happy 14th Birthday, Jimmy!
Today is our first grandson's 14th birthday and I am trying to figure out how this could be. 14 years is a loooooong time and there are so many precious moments and treasured memories packed into those years. It's been a wonderful journey with you, Jimmy, watching you grow from infancy to young adulthood . And with each passing year you have grown more dear. You have tremendous values and respect for others, a genuinely loving heart…..but there's so much more that cannot be written on a blog. And you know what else….even if you hadn't won Nationals (TWICE) you already were a winner. The world is a better place because you were born. We love you!

Holxo Tours in Thanjavur
Tamil Nadu Tour: Temple Heritage with Pondicherry$790 / per person
A kingdom so fertile that it was called the 'granary of the South', Thanjavur was once the ancient capital of the mighty Chola dynasty who ruled vast parts of South India between the 9th – 13th centuries CE. It is the biggest town of the Cauvery Delta. For centuries, the city has been a glorious centre of culture, literature, architecture, and art and craft. After the Cholas, Thanjavur was ruled by different dynasties, and finally, the British Empire.
A town of temples and palaces, Thanjavur's glorious heritage is synonymous with the three exquisite Chola era temple complexes dedicated to Siva – Brihadeeswara, Darasuram, and Gangaikondacholapuram – all three UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Chola kings, who were great patrons of the arts, built most of the 93 temples here. 13 km away from the town, is Thiruvaiyaru. It is the setting for the marvellous Tyagaraja Aradhana, a Carnatic music festival held every January to honour and celebrate the life and compositions of the renowned saint composer Tyagaraja.
Thanjavur is especially renowned for its unique Thanjavur style of painting, manufacture of musical instruments, and artisan workshops that create bronze sculptures using the lost wax art. The Thanjavur Royal Palace Museum displays one of the finest collections of exquisitely sculpted ancient bronzes in India.

from Momlogic:
Top bottle makers say they'll ban the harmful chemical BPA in their baby bottles.
Hallelujah! The top six baby bottle makers have said that they will stop using the potentially harmful chemical BPA in their baby products. For the record, those companies are Avent, Disney First Years, Gerber, Dr. Brown, Playtex, and Evenflo.
In the first large scale study of BPA in humans back in September, a team of researchers found exposure to bisphenol A or BPA was associated with cardiovascular disease, type two diabetes and liver enzyme abnormalities in adults.
However, right after that study came out, the FDA defended its assessment that BPA is safe. ''Right now, our tentative conclusion is that it's safe, so we're not recommending any change in habits,'' said Laura Tarantino, head of the FDA's Office of Food Additive Safety.
Momlogic pediatrician Dr. Cara Natterson says, "We don't know the long-term health consequences or the significance of a given amount of BPA. But studies have shown that exposure to high levels of BPA does cause increased risk of uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and breast cancer; it lowers sperm count; and it increases the risk of prostate cancer. Bottom line: BPA is the focus of much attention these days and, based upon the data, should be avoided when possible."
This article scares me a bit since I used Avent bottles with Maddox. I knew about BPA but since it was still in research phase, I still went with Avent.
Did you switch to a BPA-free bottle?

While there are several trading approaches that can be used to profit from currency trading, Box Breakout strategies remain one of the most popular. There attraction lies in the simplicity that they bring to trading as a well as the acknowledged potential to generate high profits. This approach to trading has long been used by traders for these very reasons. It is suited to both experienced traders as well as new traders who are looking for a reliable means of making their first profits from Forex trading.
One of the first rules of trading is that you should be able to understand the mechanics of your trading system. This is not only vital in terms understanding the logic of what the system is trying to achieve but will also able you to implement the strategy correctly. Complicated systems may offer you the chance to make profits, but if you are unable to execute them correctly then you will soon see any profits slip away.
The Box Breakout makes use of an easy to understand concept. The box that is alluded to in the strategy name is formed by upper and lower boundaries in the market with the sides of the box being formed from the start and finish time of the period of analysis.
As the second part of the strategy name suggests, what is looked for is a breakout from this range in either direction to signal a trade entry. Once the market moves beyond the 'box' and the move is confirmed, the expectation is that momentum will build as the market moves beyond the prior identified range. A stop level is placed usually either beyond the lower level of the box or below the level of the break.
Trading strategies based upon Box Trading are common and will usually be traded at set times of day. They work best at times of high volatility when the market is most likely to break a prior range. Typically the opening of a market session is used to trade these breakouts as the higher level of volatility at these times can see strong momentum build following the break. This allows not only offers the potential to back strong market moves but also provides a defined time for trading.
A good illustration of breakout trading is the opening of the London Forex markets. As the busiest time in the financial trading day strong breaks are often seen following the relative calm of the prior Asian session. While breakouts can occur on many currency pairs at this time of day it is the European based currencies such as the British Pound, Euro and Swiss Franc that will most commonly exhibit the strongest moves.
The key to maximizing your trading profits from this strategy is to wait for a confirmed move before entering the market. 'False' breakouts can often occur which can see the market suddenly reverse from its initial break. Therefore it is vital that any strategy you use has rules in place that help prevent the occurrence of false breaks or instead provides you with a strategy to profit from these moves as well.

Another medium has officially thrown its hat into the middle of the ring of hype surrounding tonight's high school football battle between Class 4A titans Stephenville and Aledo - television.
KTXA/Channel 21, a CBS owned and operated station, has announced that the District 8-4A opener between the No. 2-ranked Yellow Jackets and No. 6-ranked Bearcats will be featured in a tape-delay broadcast as the High School Edge Game of the Week.
Due to UIL regulations stipulating that no Friday night high school football contest can be broadcast live, the recording will air from 11 p.m.-2 a.m.
Stephenville ISD Superintendent Dr. Darrell Floyd encourages fans to attend the game and support the Jackets, and to have the timers on their VCRs set to record the memories.
"We need a big crowd there to support our team,� Floyd said.
He also encouraged fans to wear white in attendance at the game. Because Stephenville is the visiting team, the Jackets will don their road white jerseys.
"I think it's a great tribute to our program to be featured on TV,� Stephenville Head Football Coach and Director of Athletics Chad Morris said. "It shows that the hard work of our kids doesn't go unnoticed, and it's a great tribute to both schools.�
While televised high school games have become the norm for the best programs in the DFW Metroplex, it is a rare treat for those involved in rural schools.
"I believe our program is certainly on par with the other high profile programs in the state, such as Highland Park and Southlake Carroll,� Floyd said. "We're very proud of our program and our school, and I think this bodes well for the community as well.�
This won't be the first time the Yellow Jackets have competed in a televised game. SHS played on live TV in its four state-championship victories in the 1990s, and was in the lime-light against Highland Park in the 2005 semi-final.

Description Sometimes the best retirement for an actor can be the role of a lifetime. With the help of the Dragon's Horde, an actor's retirement can be a life-changing, and possibly squeaky, event.

The large doors opened out into the main bar of the Dragon's Horde, with the short sound of skittering against the tile. This perked the bar-dragon's ears up… if he had any. One look, and the barkeep took a double-take.
"Alex!" he said to the source of the skittering, a four-armed rubber-wearing wolf with a huge spider for a lower body, "Whatcha doing here and what can I get you?"
"Oh! Dan!" Alex said with a bit of a jump. "Sorry, I've been a bit skittish about being out in public lately. Scared a kid and…"
"Come come, I'll tell you how to overcome that." Dan motioned him over to the bar's larger-clientele area and poured a lager beer. "I think you're a lager fur, right?"
"Yeah," Alex said as he walked over. "So what's this secret?"
"Play peek-a-boo, almost like you were scared of them. They'll come around and then you can hug and all will be right."
Alex took a sip and said "I'll have to try that. Hey, you remember the last party I had at the mansion?"
"Oh yeah," Dan said. "I turned one of the guests, I think a lion, three headed, four armed, and with a permastiff twice as long as he is tall?"
"You got Chaz, and you got him duplicated and rubberized. Turns out he's a retired actor, and I got wind of another thinking about retiring…"
"We got lucky that it worked on one shot. I have to worry about legal ramifications, though…"
"We have an agreement, although I need to sign on his partner soon. Goes by the name Edward."
"Edward… oh! Yes, word through the grapevine here is that he's moved down here and is taking up writing. Having a bit of trouble though, like he needs inspiration in the rubber department."
"He's writing kinky?"
Dan nodded. "Definitely. Not bad work. But he's inexperienced…"
Alex grinned, saying "We can fix that."
Dan smiled, looking at another dragon who had eavesdropped in on the conversation. "I think we can, if we can arrange it."
The other dragon, a heavily beefed up brute stuffed in a three-piece like he owned the world, nodded.
"Depends on a lot of factors…" Alex said, spying the eavesdropper. "…if we can employ your services in a timely fashion. With Cyren's approval, of course."
The main door opens again, with a regular black wolf entering in, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. He looks around as he walks towards the bar itself, taking a regular stool seat.
"Hold that thought…" Dan said. He moves over to the new customer and says "Heya chief. Welcome to the Dragon's Horde. Can I get you something?"
"Yeah," the wolf says, voice recognizably growly. "Jack and coke."
"I need to see your ID, per law."
The wolf growled and reluctantly showed his driver's license.
"Understandable," Dan said. "I'll start a tab and get your drink, chief." The barkeep turned, nodding, and started opening a fresh bottle of Jack Daniel's.
Alex noticed and nodded, throwing a few twenties on the bar with a note and an invite for a party, the date written in for next weekend. "…I'll chat later, Dan."
"Sure, Alex," Dan said, serving the black wolf. The wolf took a few sips of each, before Alex exited the bar and closed the door. Cyren had disappeared into the back rooms.
"He's a looker," the wolf finally said.
"A regular too," Dan added.
"Was he…"
"He asked for that."
"I'm hoping to retire, and not make any waves."
"Just moved in?"
"Mostly settled. Looking for a house. Haven't had the paparazzi follow, but…"
"We have ways to fix that."
"Well… er… ever do three heads?"
"You're not the only one."
"And four arms?" the wolf added.
"Or more." Dan folded his six arms.
"And an unreachable monster," the wolf said with a grin.
"You dare our capabilities? You dare to have such a beast?" Dan challenged the wolf. This got Cyren's attention again, as he peeked out.
The wolf slapped his credit card down. "I dare that you can't prove it, and I will put my body on the line."
"Pick your beer."
"Your local lager."
"You're getting a triple," Dan said, as he went and poured the drinks, adding a massive dose of a custom elixir to three large beer mugs. The massive dragon moved out, and behind Dan, looking at the wolf, and what Dan was mixing. A quick weighing showing green all the way, and Dan plunked all three glasses in front of the wolf.
"This is for…?"
"Such a massive change needs massive amounts of alcohol. We don't fool around, and I think this will be your limit. Want us to call a driver for you?"
The wolf hesitated. He looked at the barkeep, and then the imposing dragon behind the barkeep. He looked at the drinks.
"All or nothing, no shame ether way," the imposing dragon said.
The wolf closed his eyes in thought… and breathed deep. He then took one of the beers and downed it in one take.
"Need a breather? Or some food?" Dan said.
"You're driving a hard bargain," the wolf said. "Garlic bread, if you got it…"
The imposing dragon turned and bellowed "TERRY! GARLIC BREAD FOR OUR GUEST!"
A voice from the kitchen yelled back "GARLIC BREAD COMING UP, CYREN!"
A local hotel room served as the backdrop to the wolf's awakening the next day. Dan had guessed right—it was his limit. The garlic bread, steak, spaghetti with extra meat, steak, tiramisu, steak, and desert steak had helped, but the concoction made him sleepy, and he asked for a taxi to the hotel.
Thus he woke up in his room, yawning thrice over and turning… with some difficulty. He looked down, seeing his stacked chest in triplicate, followed by his cock, as thick as his waist and snaking out of his bed and half-way to the bathroom. He blinked and shifted himself up, muttering "Eddie, you finally lost one."
And then the hangover headache hit, thrice over.
"NNnnnngggghhhh…." he growled thrice over, before spying three containers of Gatorade, a box of hangover powder, and a note. Slowly he got up, his balls the size of boulders hanging in front of him, and he made his careful way to the dresser where the drinks were on. One, two, three containers opened and drank down in one sitting… and his eyes refocused clearer than he ever had.
"Whoa…" Eddie said, "…I was getting fuzzy in my eyesight, but this is… maaan…". He grabbed the note and headed into the bathroom, dragging his todger into it. There, he saw not an old and worn grey muzzle of a black wolf, but a younger black Cerberus wolf, with four arms and a body that never skipped a work-out day… especially leg day, considering what he was hauling.
And he wagged his tail, with a grin forming on all his faces.
"Eddie, you're keeping this. This is retirement."
He looked at the note and grinned. Carefully he drained his member, and then located his cell phone. Dialing the number, he growled from one head to the middle to the other side. It picked up, saying "Alex here."
"Alex? My name's Eddie. I was given your number by the barkeep at the Dragon's Horde. I got a note that you're willing to throw me a retirement party…"
Eddie exited the limo to Alex's private estate where the party was being held, an expansive mansion with numerous apartments of many sizes. Rumor had said that there was a cult here… but it was more of a haven and open secret for the pornography group here.
But what was striking was a pair of lions, fixed, unmoving, with cocks just as large as the Cerberus black wolf standing at attention, jutting out well past their reach. Each lion sported two heads and four hands, with a shine that could only be rubber. The gladiator gear each one had on kept with the theme, as both stood with a regular pole besides themselves.
Between them was Alex, who had scurried out when the limo arrived. "Eddie!" Alex said. "So good to properly meet you in person. I'm Alex."
"Likewise," Eddie said, maneuvering himself and his expansive package only contained with the miracle of material science that was his new set of clothing. "I got to say, this took a lot of money…"
"A small price to pay, actually. The studios have really taken off. I may have an Oscar contender with one of the non-adult productions, but I really need some experience to make sure it and other scripts are good. Let's get inside."
"Sure." Eddie nodded before stopping next to one of the lions… "Wait… um, I think I know… isn't this based off of Chaz…"
The lion turned a head down and said "Not just based off of him, but him himself. Hello Ed."
Ed was taken aback, shocked that such a rubber statue would move and… he came up, and felt the lion's leg, squeaking it…
"Chaz? That's…"
"…my leg, and thus me."
"Talk to Alex and Dan, but it looks like you're half-way there. I gotta get back on the ol' job here."
"Okay. Hope I can join you…"
"Hope so to." Chaz blinked, and resumed his pose.
Ed ooooh'ed, and caught up with Alex inside the party. The latex-wearing wolf drider motioned him over to a table for a drink… one with a vanilla envelope.
"So that's where Chaz went to," Ed said.
"Yeah," Alex said. "He had a wild party here earlier and that's the aftermath… well, both bodies. I've been hosting him here and he's been writing up a storm between events."
"Oh really? Room and board?"
"A large apartment, especially with his endowments the way they are now. Food, drink, whatever his needs for both bodies."
"Except one thing."
"I heard you two were a thing," Alex shrugged. "I'm hoping you and him can be more of a thing. I'd like to give you a retirement home, if you're willing to do a few things."
"Which are?" Ed inquired.
"Part-time edit some scripts of ours, and on occasion be the center 'living statue' at the entrance, flanked by Chaz on both sides."
"Living statue? Like Chaz?"
"Well, living rubber statues," Alex said as a rubber vixen came by and nuzzled Alex. "Oh, meet Vikki, my wife. She's fully rubber, like Chaz. She volunteered."
"Wait, you…" Ed started to ask before Vikki moved over and placed a finger against the vocal head.
"Yes," Vikki said, "I actually asked Dan here, the bartender from the Dragon's Horde, to turn rubber. Turned out quite well! I'm permanently squeaky."
"No going back? And Chaz…"
"Chaz got too drunk and Dan got lucky with a mix."
Ed sat back and placed a hand on each of his chins. "Hmmm… Will said statue have my already oversized tool peramently erect?"
"It'll have to be," Alex said. "How else will you keep it up through the parties and be able to identify the guests as they're coming in?"
Ed thought… and grinned three times over. "I think you got a deal."
Alex purred and opened the envelope, pulling out some papers. "Please review this then. Chaz got a similar contract. This one is specialized for your case. It also allows us to insure your body in case… you droop."
Ed took his time and read through the document, and found it rather sound. He asked for a pen, and signed the contract. Alex then signed as well, as did some of the guests as witnesses.
"So?" Ed asked as Alex put the contract away and had a rubberized staffer give it to a lawyer. "What's next?"
"Your drink!" Alex said, and turned to the bar where Dan was filling orders. "DAN! A RUBBER TREE FOR OUR RETIREE!"
Dan thumbs-up the request and started mixing.
Ed woke up, on his side, laying down in a bed located in a room expansive enough to be called half of a basketball court with seating. Slowly he slipped his tongues back into his maws and rubbed his eyes.
*squeaky* *squeaky* *squeaky*
"Ugh," he growled in triplicate. "I… ugh… coffee." Muttering, he flipped himself onto his back.
That's when the covers flew off and onto his side, as his thick erect tree of a cock swung itself into full mast, taking blankets and sheets off a glistening, fully rubbered Cerberus wolf ever to sport a stacked chest and a cannon for equipment. It took Ed a while to wake up to notice the change, always slow to get his senses together… but after five minutes he shifted his upper body up to feel out his member as far as he could reach.
"Mmmmm…" he growled, feeling the sensations coming into his rubberized brains, slowly moving his hands up and down and up and down. The feeling of tightness and erectness growing until it felt right for the wood he sported… and refused to die down. "…this is heaven."
As much as he would love to stay in bed, he felt a bit of a duty to test things out. So he shifted over to the side of the bed, and cantilevered himself up. His cock retained its erect state as it fell forward with his hips, leading his way, as his boulders of balls fell on the floor. He then moved to the corner, planted his other foot, and carefully stood up. His balls lifted up, allowing him to move… and the shaft followed along, defying gravity.
"Ooooooh this will be fun," Ed said as he walked over, swinging his canon left and right. The quick motions had a noticeable and pleasurable lag, pulling his groin one way or another. Hopping a bit in place had a similar effect.
Ed's right head then noticed the door just as he heard a knock on it. He opened it to find a nude Chaz there.
"Well good afternoon, sleepyhead," Chaz said, purring like he had when they worked together on many of a film. "Finding things okay?"
"More like trying things out. I gotta hit the loo here."
"Bathroom's on the right. I recommend cock first going through doors. Use the cameras and monitors to your advantage. Ring for the cabana boys if you need help."
Ed nodded all three heads and swung around. His cock then pushed out the door, feet among feet of length, before Ed himself came out and swung around. The accidental comparison made Chaz grin.
"You've matched my 24 feet of cock there, Eddie."
"We'll verify that soon, Chaz," Ed said as he headed towards the bathroom. "Ask the boys for the measuring tape…"
Cyren opened the door to his office the next day, and heard a moan that he immediately recognized.
"Dan?" he said. "You on the couch?"
"Yeah…" Dan replied in the darkness, in that familiar set of tones of tired, drunk, spent, exhausted, and almost hung-over.
Cyren shook his head and slipped into the darkened room, closing the door behind him. He then slid by the light switch and said "I'm going to raise the lights up slighly, okay? Just a touch."
Dan pawed towards his head, finding nothing there but neck. He growled "DO NOT FLICK THAT LIGHT SWITCH!" before wincing and moaning, "Oooh, my aching missing head…"
"I won't. Just the dimmer up slightly." Cyren dragged the dimmer all the way down and flicked the light to feed power in. He then carefully brought the dimmer just a touch, giving a nightlight effect. "That's the max I feel comfortable with."
"And your head's by your feet."
"Mustta been dragin' it in."
Cyren approached his desk, knowing where his medical gear was. "How wild was the party?"
"Very… glad I only took the temp potions. Had a few DF's and a Mirrose left, plus maybe a serving of beer when it rapped up… and a rubber cabana boy asked for some attention."
"I take it you took initiative."
"I haven't been home. Dunno how the equipment got put back in the van, and I was fading out by the time I got near here…"
"Ahhh good," Cyren said while gloving up. He checked Dan's pulse before asking "All the temps are gone?"
"And the guest of honor's drink?"
"Alex named it a Rubber Tree for the effect."
Cyren put his stethoscope in his ears and checked a few areas, asking Dan to breathe in and out. He even checked under Dan's elongated throat and neck… before saying "I hate to say this, Dan, but you're going to live."
"Stay on that couch. I'll have Terry get you some food and I think Tani has a good hangover buster of a drink. I got the front since Archie's out."
"You're still out of mead."
"I know. Order won't be in until Monday anyway. Just rest, you got the day off." Cyren then carefully moved over to the door, and opened it slightly back up.
"Boss?" Dan said.
"Yeah Dan?"
Cyren grinned, exited, and closed the door. He then set out to open the bar, knowing full well that good memories were provided by the staff at the Dragon's Horde.

Leach Opposed to Suit by Medical Marijuana Company
A company called Keystone Releaf files suit in Commonwealth Court.
Releaf says it was denied a permit to construct a medical marijuana plant and two dispensaries, stating the process had problems and was void of transparency. Democratic State Senator Daylin Leach, who serves parts of Montgomery County, an advocate of medical marijuana, says the suit goes over and above what's needed.
"It's asking that grow houses and dispensaries be shut down that Keystone Releaf is not even competing with, keep in mind that you have to apply by region. They're asking that the entire state be shut down, even in regions that thye are not seeking license in."
Leach is calling on Keystone Releaf to adjust the suit to allow the system of providing medical cannabis to continue in the Commonwealth.

In case you missed it:
Any World History or Honors World History who would like to earn some additional credit (NOT Extra Credit) on the Do-It-Yourself Field Trips may go on a second field trip as an optional assignment. The second field trip will be recorded as a normal assignment– all the usual extra credit or partial credit options apply.
Students usually do well on the DIY Field Trip project, with most earning full credit or nearly full credit. If you want to learn more about history by visiting another museum, hooray! I'm happy to record academic credit for your effort.
Details on the DIY field trip are in the "Classroom Documents" folder. All DIY Field Trip reports are due on the last day of class in April. This is a fun project (even if you don't believe me right now), but don't put it off until the last minute.
(The picture at the top right is a poorly-framed selfie in bad light of Mrs. Walberg and me on our honeymoon. Fun fact– people used to take selfies on actual cameras, and couldn't see themselves until after they took the picture! The silver blob behind us was a tea service set made by famed silversmith and patriot Paul Revere. It was on display at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. History!)

Ships Free (US 48)
Meet the desk that will rise to your expectations. Using the height adjustable frame that Wirecutter named their top choice, the UPLIFT V2 Laminate Standing Desk raises the bar on efficiency, stability, and innovation in ergonomic workspaces.
Our durable, affordable GREENGUARD Gold-certified laminate desktops are eco-friendly and come in a wide variety of styles to match your office decor. If laminate isn't your cup of tea, or you'd like to be able to compare all desktop materials, check out our UPLIFT V2 Standing Desk which consolidates all available 2-leg desk materials.
Whether you choose the UPLIFT V2 Frame or the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame, you're getting the most advanced sit-stand desk available. Learn more about both the UPLIFT V2 Frame and the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame—and to compare the differences between them.
Choose from one of our six different GREENGUARD Gold-certified laminate desktops for a safe and sustainable workspace.
GREENGUARD Gold certification means that these desktops have been tested for chemical emissions and meet the standards set by seven different regulating bodies. Translation: you get a desk that's safe to use in your home or office.
These 1" thick desktops are made from an eco-friendly office material that provides a sturdy, long-lasting workspace that fits your budget. Outfit your desk in black or white—or go with walnut, maple, cherry, or ash gray. Enjoy the look of natural woodgrains without paying for solid wood.
Looking for something a little more customized? Reach out to us for our special order Wilsonart laminate options. We also have black and white ergo-edge curve desktops or 3-leg laminate desks available. To read more, check out our comprehensive Desktop Brochure for all of the options available to you.
We created a sit-stand desk that goes far beyond the basics. The UPLIFT V2 Laminate Standing Desk is a reimagined approach to the height adjustable workplace, with improvements to stability at all heights, safety during movement, and reliability throughout its lifetime.
Click here to learn more about the differences between the UPLIFT V2 and UPLIFT V2-Commercial frames.
The UPLIFT V2 Frame comes with a height range of 25.3" - 50.9" with a 1" desktop installed. This popular frame is remarkably sturdy, quiet, and designed with some amazing features. This frame (as part of our bamboo desk) was selected as the "Best Standing Desk" by Wirecutter!
The UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame comes with a height range of 22.6" - 48.7" with a 1" desktop installed. It has a lower starting height, a lower max height, and a wider overall height range than the UPLIFT V2 Frame. It meets and exceeds ANSI/BIFMA durability standards, while also meeting the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 height standard, a standard required by many of the world's largest companies.
The UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame supports ergonomic working postures for 5th percentile females through 95th percentile males, in both seated and standing positions.
Although you might admire it for its sleek design, take a look underneath and you'll see four dozen independent, patent-pending mounting points. This exclusive feature lets you use your desk in a whole new set of ways with our growing collection of desk accessories.
This includes functional additions like desk extensions, CPU holders, and power strips—and fun accessories like an under-desk hammock. Of course, all mounting points are hidden, allowing you to maintain a clean look at your workstation.
Please note: the hammock is only compatible with the UPLIFT V2 Frame. It's not compatible with the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame because it interferes with the stability crossbar.
When you upgrade to the Advanced Keypad, not only do you save time by not having to hold down buttons—you get access to advanced features.
Sit, stand, or perch with quick one-touch adjustments on four programmable buttons. Switch between sitting and standing in a jiff, just by selecting your preferred preset. When you feel like standing, it gives you the perfect amount of time to get up and move your chair out of the way.
Anti-collision sensitivity and a keypad child lock are two improved safety features. If your desk comes into contact with people or objects, it stops quickly for safety. You can also lock your desk height, a feature that comes in handy when there are little ones nearby.
Set your desk's maximum and minimum heights to prevent your desktop from knocking into shelves above or file cabinets below.
To reduce distractions, an auto-dark LED display dims the keypad 10 seconds after you press a button.
We were named the "Best Standing Desk" by both Wirecutter and Forbes; and we're rated #1 by Wired and Lifehacker. We're honored for the mentions.
From everyone here at UPLIFT Desk, we want to say thank you. It's been our mission since the beginning to help everyone build a workstation that allows them to work better and live healthier.
Join hundreds of thousands of happy customers who are already enjoying the #1 rated sit-stand desk, including hundreds of Fortune 500 companies.
Click here to see more reviews.
As you piece together your perfect workstation, don't forget about power. Work knowing that your devices will stay plugged in and are safe from cord pulling and snagging when you raise and lower your desk. We have a solution for every setup and power requirement, from in-desk to clamp-on power options.
Cords that hang loose are not just an eyesore; they can actually cause accidents at sit-stand desks. That's because your desk has the freedom to move, and if your cables don't have enough slack when you adjust heights, they can pull; if they have too much slack, they can get caught on other under-desk accessories. Stop this before it becomes an issue with a little wire management.
Let us help you select tools to organize, store, and protect your cords. Your new desk even comes with a wire management tray to get you started.
We understand that furnishing an office can be quite the task. Save time and make it easy on yourself; let our design team lay the foundations for your new office floor plan. We can create a customized layout to meet your needs, however big or small. If you're considering purchasing four or more desks, all you have to do is complete four simple steps, and we'll configure your office desk space for free, no strings attached. With your custom layout, you'll also receive a discounted quote on your order.

You can't go wrong with our laminate desktop. Designed with durability in mind, this is a desktop that's ready to be there with you throughout the highs and lows at work.
Although laminate furniture has had some style fails in the past, we have worked with our designers to create an eye-catching desktop that mimics the look of real wood, minus the price tag. We exclusively offer Wilsonart certified laminates, which come with some of the most diverse finish options around, letting you create the custom desk that suits your style perfectly.
Laminate is composed of thermally-fused melamine laminate over 45 lb density E-1 rated particle board core, and comes with a 3 mm PCV edge banding. All of the layers of the laminate desktop are fused under high pressure treatment to form a very durable surface that's ideal for work. Our laminate desktops are also at one full inch, which are much thicker than the laminate desktop thicknesses offered by our competitors.
We have found that black dry erase markers tend to perform the best on these desktops. If any residue or ghosting is left behind after erasing the desktop, use Expo White Board Cleaner. If that doesn't remove all of the residue, try 70% isopropyl alcohol. You can also write over the unerased portion with another dry erase marker, let it dry, and then erase it.
You bet! The height adjustment of an UPLIFT desk is great for sewing or crafting. Just lower your desk when you want to sit and sew, and then raise your desk to an ergonomic height when you want to cut out fabric.
Yes! If you have your own desktop, check out just the UPLIFT Desk frame without a desktop.
You should be able to assemble the desk frame and attach it to the desktop by yourself. However, you will need two people to safely turn the desk right-side up after assembly. Check out our assembly video to see just how easy it is to put your desk together.
Our GREENGUARD Gold Certified laminates are 1" thick and available in a variety of beautiful, durable finishes.
Most desk issues can be fixed quickly and easily with a desk reset. These steps are easy to follow and can be completed in just a few minutes. If resetting your desk doesn't fix the problem, or you'd like some help with the reset, please don't hesistate to give our service team a call at 1-800-349-3839.
This product comes standard with a 7-year limited warranty. For more information on UPLIFT warranty coverage, click here.

Weymouth A 2.5 Poole A 1.5, County Div 1; Weymouth move to 2nd but Poole still lead table by 5 points
19 Feb. 3 of the games were drawn, but Allan Pleasant's win on board 1, against Oscar Garcia, was decisive and earned Weymouth the win. Had Poole A won, they would have been almost out of sight in County Div 1, but as it is, they still have a big lead, although the Weymouth team has a match in hand. Weymouth are the defending champions. (Footnote – well done to Allan who entered the result on LMS soon after it finished. As captains increasingly use this new system it will prove the quickest way to check latest results. There is a link to Dorset LMS on the top menu)

Jesus Didn't Write The Bible
Catchy title huh? Truth though. In fact, as far as we know, the Biblical Jesus wrote down nothing … and left no writings behind. Think about that for just a moment. If you were a historical personage as famous as Jesus, wouldn't you have left at least some writings behind. Some teachings perhaps? Some instructions or some valuable Truth penned by your own quill?
Every teacher, pope, president, politician, banker, religious leader, public figure, pastor, etc. have written something in their lifetime. And for many, extensive writings … something for their generation and the generations to come. Even Hitler left us his gigantic work "Mein Kamph."
Thousands of people predating the time of Jesus left behind their writings. Pythagoras, Socrates, Hermes, Epicurus, Aurelius, all left behind their philosophies, science, math, and spiritual writings. They even had busts and statues of their likeness which we still have today.
If Jesus was merely an itinerant preacher who wanders the hills of the Galilee, and was uneducated, illiterate, or had no language skills … it might be reasonable to think that he had no ability to leave behind any written works. But clearly, this is not the case. It is said that he was well-versed and well-schooled among many ancient Mystery Schools of that era. Having studied among the Essenes, the Theraputae, and Buddhist, Egyptian, Greek, and Persian spiritual centers. Surely, he was more than capable of writing, and most likely, in Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic.
So why not leave anything behind? Why not complete volumes of his collective works? Possibly the most famous name in all of written history … and not a peep. Not a letter. Not even a poem or note. Doesn't this strike you as odd? It did me. When I was a kid I wondered how come he didn't write anything? And if he didn't … then who did? We know today that the books of the Bible were written by somebody. And we definitely know that the books credited to the Apostles were not written by them. The church will even tell you this. They are "Gospels according to …" but not penned by.
So then, we have to ask … "who wrote this stuff in the New Testament Bible?" If it wasn't Jesus, and it wasn't the Apostles, then who was it? The answer, is not a short and easy one. I have done extensive research on this topic over many years. It would take a small book to try and explain it all. But, suffice it to say, multiple writers, from a great span of time, utilizing ancient Wisdom and Pagan Mysteries, wrote entire works that got sifted through, revised, changed, re-written, added to, plagiarized, manufactured, and finally assembled into what we know as the Bible beginning with Constantine's First Council of Nicea in 325CE.
The "Word of God" as many would call the Bible, is a collection of ancient spiritual and celestial allegories, metaphors, and myths telling a deeper non-literal and non-historical lesson. Scholars today credit only 7 of the 13 Epistles of Paul to actually being penned by the same person … Paul, Apollonius, or whoever it may have been. The rest are church forgeries devised to make the original Gnostic writings into heresy. The original "krestianity" teachings were empowering and directed at the illumination and ascension of each of us to a higher consciousness … so that we would all become "the Christ/Karest/Krishna" through an inner metamorphosis.
The Roman Church, used these teachings, along with others, to try and bring about a Universal (meaning Catholic in Greek) Church to unite the Empire. It was a good plan from an Emperors point of view, but the teachings were lost when made literal and historical. These were called the Outer Mysteries. Still today, the higher echelon of the Vatican and other Secret Societies retain and know what the original teachings (Inner Mysteries) are all about. They use this knowledge to enslave people. Jesus supposedly said "you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free." Isn't it time you begin to find the Truth?

Why Religion Breeds Death
Why Religion Breeds Death
From the headlines:
SPRINGVILLE, Utah – "Medical examiners have ruled that a family of five found dead in their Utah home all died from poisoning, likely because the parents were concerned about a "pending apocalypse." The deaths of the youngest two children were ruled homicides. The 14-year-old's death was ruled undetermined. The Strack's 18-year-old son found all five bodies in the parents' bedroom on Sept. 27. The parents and the 14-year-old were found in the bed while the other two children were found on mattresses next to the bed."
This type of scenario has played out over and over and over again, particularly among Fundamental Christians. It disgusts me. It turns my stomach. Children have been murdered, parents have committed suicide and killed their own children and why? I'll tell you why. Because of a lie. A lie that has been sold and repackaged by Funda-mental Christianity for 200 years. It's the same scenario. They're told there will be 7 years of tribulation and suffering, then Jesus will return and rapture his remaining followers into the clouds, and live with him in the forever after while experiencing the bliss of heaven.
I recently read a story of a Mother who drowned her three children because she believed that as long as they died before the age of reason (12) that they would go to heaven and be with Jesus. She didn't want to risk the possibility of them burning in the eternal fires of hell. People have let their children die relying on prayers to Jesus rather than take them for needed medical treatment from Doctors and Hospitals because they were told that Jesus answers all prayers and heals everyone if you pray hard enough.
Am I angry? Yup. Because millions of people have been murdered in the name of God and religion and millions more have gone to their graves having never experienced the wonderful gift of life that we have been given. And as George Carlin once so eloquently said … "but God loves you."
This "pending apocalypse" has struck fear and emotional destruction into the hearts and minds of adults and children alike. They don't even know what it means, yet they follow the lies from the pulpit blindly. Just look up the word "apocalypse." It is from the Greek and it does not mean the end of the world, it does not mean total anihalation, it simply means "to uncover that which is hidden." It is a REVELATION … a revealing of the Truth that lay hidden in scripture beyond the literal and historical.
This APOCALYPSE is to happen within is. Armageddon … is the battleground within us. Where we battle between the ego and the Divine within all of us. These Bible events are NOT historical events. They didn't happen literally. Hell is NOT a literal place of eternal fire and torment. Heaven and Hell are a state of mind here and NOW.
If you believe in Jesus, and you believe in a Second Coming … then you missed it. According to NT Biblical scripture he rose on the third day and walked among his disciples before his ascension to Heaven (afterlife). So according to Christian scripture, the second coming happened 3 days later. You missed it. Now what?
Judaism, Christianity, Islam, have all been modified, rewritten, edited, plagiarized, and even manufactured texts to have you believe what Rome wanted you to believe. The ancient Hebrews built most of their religious beliefs on a Pagan system of Ancient Wisdom and Truths. They just changed the names and the places. Rome built the version of the New Testament that we have today. Compare the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi Library, the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Clay Tablets of Sumeria, the Emerald Tablets of Thoth/Hermes … the list goes on and on.
Celestial based Astrotheology and it's esoteric balance of inner spirituality and Mysticism has been around for tens of thousands of years. The story of Moses, Jesus/Joshua, Judas, etc. can all be found in the hieroglyphs of the Temple of Carnac and ancient Egyptian, Greek, Persian, Hindu, and Buddhist texts. The TRUTH is that all these stories are OUR stories about what happens when we transform from base nature animal man to Divine righteous Christ Consciousness and literally convert Earth to Heaven.
Televangelists … stop selling your fire and brimstone fear and guilt from the pulpits and satellites. Preachers, stop scaring people from your Sunday morning platforms. THIS IS THE "GOOD NEWS" … what GOSPEL means. All you're doing is spreading mass panic, death, war, destruction, hatred and countless other negative emotions and actions.
Instead … EMPOWER the people with the TRUTH of what they are. Each and every one of us is the very essence of God/Source. Jesus said it. Buddha said it. The Hindu's, Sufi's, Neoplatonist's, Marcionists, Gnostics, Kabbalists, and so many others acknowledge this Truth. Why has the church torn down the tower of Truth over the last 2,000 years? Don't let someone else tell you what to believe and what to follow. Find the Truth for yourself. When you do … your inner guidance system … your Higher Divine Self will rumble your gut and let you know … WOW! SO THIS IS WHAT IT IS???
People have died by the MILLIONS in the name of religion. We can send a satellite a gazillion miles into space, talk to it, get pictures from it, guide it, and soon we will be able to do all of this from an iPhone App … yet we haven't figured out how to stop killing each other.
Now is the time … religions are fading away. Church and Cathedral doors are closing. True Muslims, Christians, and Jews have had enough with the violence and oppression. Stop fighting over the Holy Land. The Holy Land is in your head … between the TEMPLES. Golgotha was where Jesus was crucified … and Golgotha means "place of the skull." You 12 cranial nerves are the 12 disciples. WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD.
We are the Garden of Eden. We are Paradise. We are God and Jesus and Mary and all the 12 Apostles. There was no King Arthur. There was no William Tell. These are MYTH … stories with Truth hidden beneath the surface stories. The Bible is beautifully inspired myth … with deep spiritual teachings but NEVER meant by the writers to be taken literally.
Sometimes I feel like I'm talking o the wall. But even the wall is alive with consciousness. Even the wall is energy (Father/Spirit) and not matter (Mother/Physical). Everything is vibratory energy and contains it's own level of consciousness … even a ROCK. Under a microscope you can see the cells, the mitochondria firing up the energy plant, creating, expanding, growing. All of creation os ONE THING. There are no "things." There is only ONE. And we're part of it.
I suppose billions of year from now, we may be wiped out by an asteroid or some celestial firestorm … but this is no reason for mankind to instigate mass destruction of our planet through bombs, and chemical warfare. Religion has led to terrorism, destruction, immeasurable pain and suffering, and all for what? For a GOD THAT WE COULD NOT POSSIBLY EVER KNOW OUTSIDE OF US.
God is the SOURCE of all life. Each breath you take. Everything you experience with your senses. We live IN GOD, and God LIVES IN US. May be never lose another life again to lies and deception. To fear and to guilt. May we never see another gay or lesbian human being commit suicide because someone's invalid opinion has led them to it. May we one day see the merging of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam … as it once was … begun from the same rock that the legendary Abraham (Brahman) was to sacrifice his son. It's ALL myth … and myth does not mean it didn't happen. Myth comes from the Greek Mythos which implies a deeper lesson under a surface story that may or may or may not be true.
If you can't take ancient scripture and apply is to you life today and build a better world for others and yourself, then who cares what did or didn't happen. What good is it? If there was no Jesus or Muhammad or Abraham … what would it matter if the teachings that were presented as coming from them were true teachings and life changing information?
Love. Forgive. Speak Truth. Inspire. Empower. We CAN have UNITY without having to have uniformity. We are one race. We are one organism. We are one world. One. One. One. Other is you, and you are other. Wake up to the Truth … Tricks are for kids.
Just a thought ….

God In Our Schools
God In Our Schools
It never ceases to amaze me when I see a flood of media stories or political and church driven propaganda about "God In Our Schools." It would seem to me that allowing a simple moment of silence would honour anyone's spiritual beliefs or even if they have none at all, than all this fuss about prayer.
In the Book of Matthew (6:5+), according to Jesus, Christians should become more familiar with the instructions given for prayer. If you don't recall it, or have never read it, here is the condensed version for you to ponder:
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you … for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."
The deeper meaning of this is … go within. Go inside yourself. This is where God/Source dwells. No need for prayer from the podium, pulpit, homeroom, football game, or cafeteria … publicly … it is a personal and private event. It even says "secret." The reason "the Father knows what you need before you ask him" is that God is in you and you are in God. It's very simple really. You are consciousness, God is consciousness, all there is is spiritual energy and consciousness … the "unseen" … hence, no confusion. No need for public prayer of any sort.
Now, let's go one step further. The life-force, Source Energy, substance of all things which most would call God … is what everything is made out of. It matters not if you're a Creationist or an Evolutionist or a Scientist, everything came from the same source origin and the only "stuff" to make stuff out of was the stuff that the Source was made of. Therefore, EVERYTHING is made of God/Source. A Ford is a Ford because Ford made it. It came from the Ford Factory. It's a Ford. Get it?
NOW … one more and I'm done. There is no way to remove God from the schools or anything else because everything IS GOD. Everything is made of God stuff. We are all an integral part of this incubator we call the universe (and multiverses) and everything is interconnected whether you wish to believe it or not. We are one with the ocean as the waves are one with the ocean. You can't take God out of school, the courtroom, or anywhere else … because as all Godly religions teach … GOD IS OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, AND OMNIPRESENT. This means in plain simple English … ALL-POWERFUL, ALL-KNOWING, AND ALL-PRESENT.
You want to pray? Do it. Anywhere and anytime. Go within your closet (your inner self) and lock the door (rid yourself of distractions) and unite with your Higher-Self - Christ Consciousness - the God within you. No one will ever know … and you don't need permission or law to do it. Remember … it's a secret.
Just a thought …

Age Old Question What Is God
Age Old Question What Is GOD
Everyone asks this dull, drab, boring question. Therefore, it should be dealt with immediately, which is not to trivialize this all encompassing query. Here's the problem. It is just too large of a question. What's the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything? TOO BIG of a question is the dilemma we face in trying to answer.
Why not ask how suns and planets are created? Why not ask how humans can be created? Instead, people want to understand the big picture, so they question 'who is the Architect of it ALL?' Who is the overall Builder? People ask 'what is God' as if they can understand the answer. They cannot even understand the question. The problem is the 'question of God' is not understandable. The problem is the 'answer of God' is truly incomprehensible.
We are but microscopic insects in the grand scheme of things in this vast universe. How could such small creatures such as us expect to understand the thing, being, force, entity, alien or whatever you choose to call GOD? We cannot. The question becomes nearly moot.
Who says there is only one Universe? Why believe there is the singularity of only one Big Bang? If the cosmos teaches us anything it should be the fact of a limitless, boundless, regenerative infinity. Nothing stops and simply comes to an end; there is always a beyond, a flow, a change or a recycling. A re-Genesis of you will. There is always many in one and one in many.
Atoms are not the smallest bodies; they are composed of infinitesimal 'quarks.' Quarks are probably composed of even smaller bits. The universe is not like China; its borders do not end with a wall. In fact, there are no borders. There is not one Universe and one Big Bang. The ultimate, overall, Super-Universe contains endless worlds and an infinite number of Big Bangs … Multiverses.
Please, think on this point for a moment. Let the idea of many, many universes sink into the minds that may never have contemplated the possibility. 'An infinite number of Big Bangs' is a big one to swallow in one gulp. Our Big Bang is merely that … 'OUR' Big Bang. That primordial explosion, that was our world's physical beginning, is our Big Bang … like we have our cluster of galaxies, our galaxy, our sun and our planet Earth.
It is not THE Big Bang and there is not a single universe or a single Big Bang. Why not clusters of Big Bangs? And clusters of clusters of Big Bangs as there are clusters of galactic clusters? This larger picture of 'worlds within worlds' is the PATTERN … the archetype. That concept probably applies to the idea of many Big Bangs. So, if true, what does that do to one's standard or alternative view of God?
Consider the amazing possibility that our Electro-Magnetic Spectrum are more worlds, physical universes with their own Big Bangs, relatively traveling by us at such high velocities that they are only perceived as light-speed frequencies. Light is the only visible portion of the EMS. The other bands are different EM frequencies such as infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, television, microwaves, cosmic rays, short and long radio waves.
In physics, we ask 'how can an object act as particle AND wave?' The answer has to do with relative MOTION. Take particles, like atoms and molecules, and move them very fast (light-speed) relative to stationary atoms and molecules … and you get this RAIN of Electro-Magnetic energy from space. Space is not an empty void of nothingness. Our radio telescopes do not detect the observable universe. The huge dishes and arrays are constructed to record the RADIO or EMS universe that exists of micro 'quanta' moving along different wavelengths at light-speed. Radio sources are everywhere in the universe, in all wavelengths and in all directions. Real, physical worlds are warping by us so fast that we only detect them as EM energy. Think about that.
Let the idea that the energy received by radio telescopes are actual solar systems sink in … that real, physical universes, like and unlike ours, could be zipping by us so fast that it is only possible to perceive them as EM waves. This certainly does not break the Energy = Matter equation. The speed of light is the limit for each universe. If you, in a light-speed saucer, reach light-speed … then, you run-off and no longer exist in your universe. Your ship has caught up with a particular light-speed universe … and it now appears stationary to you. Certain saucer vehicles may change universes as easy as hitting a button on a remote control. What does that do the picture of God?
The truth is Church officials should never be 'speaking FOR God.' How can they? We know so little of the universe … and yet we think we can conceive of its overall CREATOR? We are so unaware that our entire universe is probably only a microscopic particle of far greater Universes and still there is no end. Worlds to the 'micro' and worlds to the MACRO, endlessly, is the probable composition of the UNIVERSE.
The only philosopher that had it astronomically correct was Dr. Seuss in his book 'Horton Hear a Who?' The universes never end. If Albert Einstein was only alive long enough to read Dr. Seuss, then maybe he would have understood the 'Unified Field.' Stars or suns are really positively-charged, atomic nuclei. The planets in solar system patterns are really negatively-charged electrons in their orbits around their suns (protons). Our cosmic bodies are but micro particles in a physical Universe on an incomprehensible, larger level above us. And still, that larger world is only a small particle of something far greater.
Another consideration is the link between Black Holes and quasars. Not only do Black Holes suck everything from all sides into one point, they also SHRINK the objects or ships caught within the powerful vortex. Unlike popular belief, you are not crushed upon entering the Black Hole. Also, (this could be a hard one to grasp) you and your ship survive the complete journey through a Black Hole. You are not destroyed in a 'singularity' as Professor Hawking suggests. Once more, universes do not come to an end. There is all the reason to believe that … if you go into a Black Hole … you exit another universe's quasar. If there is a 'yin,' then there must be an equal and opposite 'yang.' This is Universal Law.
Quasars are White Holes. Enormous amounts of energy/matter eject out of these spherical, white objects at the farthest reaches of our observable universe. More energy than entire galaxies flow out of a quasar. We have photographed vast jets of matter millions of miles in length shooting from quasars. As strange as matter curves, flows and disappears into a Black Hole … incredible amounts of energy/matter appear and shoot out from the 'quasi-stellar' mysteries known as quasars. What astronomers do not realize is that it is easier to explain the enigma of quasars as HOLES. Everything pours OUT of a quasar (not in) at all directions, even light, from a single point. This is the exact opposite of a Black Hole.
'Go into a Black Hole, come out a quasar' is a logical assumption. Imagine entering a Black Hole. You are being SHRUNK into the next level down, to the MICRO universe. You safely emerge out of the other end as if it were a wormhole. Looking back, you see a view from the other side or micro-world. That tiniest vortex of the Black Hole is now the MASSIVE APERTURE OF A SPHERICAL GUSHER OF ENERGY AND MATTER KNOWN AS A QUASAR.
From that microscopic universe, the White Hole quasar is an incredibly large structure. It all depends on your point of view, doesn't it? When we photograph far-out quasars, we are actually viewing objects, ships, matter, debris and energy exiting out after being shrunk down from the MACRO universe above us. When they entered their Black Hole conduits in the MACRO universe, they were shrunk down to our microscopic level. The world is amazing … much more expansive and multi-layered than you could ever imagine.
Black Hole - Quasar flows may be normal conduits between worlds. They are unfathomable phenomena to Earthlings, but they could be normal space ways for life forms that know how to travel the curves of space.
Before we try to understand the Architect (God), maybe we should attempt to know a bit about the architecture (the Universe). What of parallel worlds? There could be universes existing in different dimensions; invisible realms, different times? Why bring up the God question when we are so blind to true reality? Einstein called us 'feeble creatures' that are blind to the full spectrum of the Universe.
Who says the CREATOR of all things was the Creator of the Earth? Possibly, life forms on an enormous level are responsible for the existence of many universes. Other life-entities could be the galaxy-makers. Another level of life entirely could be the makers of solar systems. God, whatever you believe it to be, might have had NOTHING to do with the formation of the planet we walk upon.
Who says the manufacturer of the Earth created human beings? We may not have been magically created by a mystical God or by the same thing that formed distant galaxies. Humans may not be natural by-products of the planet. We may be strangers here on this planet. We may be the result or end-product of a long-abandoned Earth colony. By the same logic, the seeder of life on Earth might not have been the builder of the planet. The creator of human Life in the universe may not have been the creator of human life on Earth. The creator of human life on Earth might not have been the same ones responsible for the plants and animals on the planet. One could even extrapolate and say 'the CREATOR of EVERYTHING, ALL, the real SUPREME … might not have been the Being that created something as small and insignificant as our particular universe. Valid statements and questions, no?
The question becomes 'gods or God?' There is an eastern philosophy that every cluster of galaxies has its god; every galaxy has its god; every star system has its god and every planet has its god. Every Big Bang could also have its god. Could these be alien life forms that rule in larger and larger cosmic Hierarchies? Are the angels aliens?
God was once plural; there were multiple gods as in 'Chariots of the Gods?' In books of India that predate the Bible, GODS flew in the sky and waged terrible wars. There were the 'giants,' the 'titans,' the Children of Heaven and the Children of Men.
Before Biblical editing, the word 'gods,' plural, was in the Old Testament. Editors changed 'gods' to the simplified version of 'God' in the Bible. You see, the once enlightened masses fell to the Dark Ages; people became simple and actually descended to primitiveness. They could no longer comprehend complex things or a universe of many gods. Gods became the single GOD. Hundreds of years ago, the masses became indoctrinated on a simpler view. We have regressed as a result.
Today, we should question the concept of one God. Are you so sure Church officials have the correct and true answers? Is it as simple as one God or is that all that your mind can handle? Possibly, we should explore eastern philosophies and the idea of a complex, multi-leveled, multi-faceted Universe? Same can be said for God(s).
A lot of science has been covered on the subject of 'God.' Would not God be the Ultimate Scientist? Scientific facts should not scare or intimidate God as they might bother the Church clergy. Would not God be the ultimate geneticist and know every code of everyone's DNA? Then, why are religious leaders so angry when scientists use stem cells or genetically engineer a clone … because the geneticists dared to dabble in the realm of God? It would seem as if genetic scientists are emulating God … and what's wrong with emulating God? Isn't this the goal? (Apotheosis - elevation to Divine Status)
Does GOD exist? 'Yes, but not as the Church and numerous religions perceive Him to be.' For one thing, God is not male and should never be referred to as some kind of bearded man in the sky. What kind of chauvinistic, macho, woman-hating, male priest came up with the nonsense that the Supreme GOD is male? Do not look for simple answers to complex questions. So, why look at God through the eyes of medieval men and women? Come into the modern age. View religious things scientifically and view scientific things religiously.
The Bible in Exodus Chapter 15, verse 3 reads that 'the Lord is a man of war.' This is wrong on so many levels. A hint of historical Truth may be gleaned in the quote as we realize that the god of these people was a 'mountain god and god of war - Yahweh.' The 'war' reference makes no religious sense (unless God is not good), but supports the concept that technology explains many Biblical events.
Consider the idea of CLONING as a possible and reasonable Creation-theory. Now, if this were the case … that the genesis of humankind on Earth was a result of human cloning … then, our progenitor, or Creator, would indeed be a human being. And, yes, that would mean that our god could have been a man.
If human, space travelers landed on Earth a very long time ago and cloned themselves … then, later, those clones stayed and inhabited the planet … then; our god (small 'g') could have been any human with the ability of space travel and the knowledge of cloning. Possibly, we were not created. Rather, we were Xeroxed.
Another answer to the question of 'What is God?' is also anyone that ruthlessly has ultimate control over another. Too often, in the history of the human race, fascist authorities have played GOD and exercised total dominion over another country/race or culture. Too many wars have been fought in the name of God. Do you really think God is on your side as you shed blood for your country or religion? Maybe God sides with your enemy? Maybe God supports the rebellious, conscientious objector?
We obviously should not negate a wonderful, celestial, spiritual belief system of Higher Beings. One should be in greater and greater awe the more they learn of the world. But, why speak of things we do not understand? Why give the impression that we know something that we could not possibly know? Why use the G-Word at all? In reality, we are all gods.
During World War II, modern military units established bases on numerous South Sea Islands. Primitive Polynesian natives had never seen technology before or people of the outside world. The simple islanders did not understand what they observed. Airplanes, guns, grenades, torpedos, radios and television were beyond their experience.
After the war, people flew back to the islands and made a remarkable discovery. They saw effigies of airplanes. The natives prayed to large models of the airplane. A simple and pure culture on remote islands had been contaminated by the presence of the military. Ever since the bases were dismantled and the servicemen had left, the Polynesians searched the skies. They waited for the return of their new gods and built airplane-idols in their honor. Imagine this same scenario thousands of years ago?
Anyone can become GOD if they have the power to control another group that sees their overseers as gods. Too often in human history, the powerful have ruled over the helpless. Too often we pray to God when we are in great need or desperate trouble. Maybe it is time to take responsibility for ourselves. Maybe it is time to be strong rather than weak? Maybe it is time to rely on ourselves rather than wait for some kind of guidance that might not ever come? Maybe it is time to realize the greatness of ourselves, a new potential for the human race and know that there is god-like power within us all.
Many religions (and the Bible) suggest that we give up our Earthly possessions, the ways of the world, physical pleasures and accept a life in complete servitude to "God." Only a selfish, egotistical God would want such a thing. Why would a loving God, make robot Slaves to serve him as a Master. Personally, I would not want anything to do with a God like this.
What kind of God would create creatures whose ONLY purpose it is … is to serve and worship God? The answer is an egomaniac of a Creator. Whatever 'God' is to me, that thing, would appreciate diversity; unique/creative art and the power of the individual. Maybe God respects the rebel and critic over the unquestioning slave? Why not use what exists in the world, including physical pleasures? Maybe we are supposed to exercise in the ways of the world. Also, my God would not want or desire to be SERVED by its creations. My God would rather we turn that love and servitude toward each other; love each other … and be compassionate for all living things and our environment.
Just a thought …
