Golden Birthday Birthday Cake





Christ is coming soon, God will soon give the final signal, and send Jesus a second time to collect those who have experienced the saving grace, and we have accepted our heart to his son Jesus Christ as our only Lord and Savior of our lives. The gospel is being preached throughout the world, every tribe (indigenous, ethnic, urban), all language, nation, social class, social areas (politics, culture, religion, education), and as the Lord said, then shall the end.

His word says in Matthew 24:22 "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened" and in the middle of the valley of decision, also Church of Christ have time to exercise the ministry of reconciliation, achieving as brothers and sisters in Christ, unity in the spirit to be unleashed his compassion for his people and stop being used by the enemy of our souls in the contests and everything other than the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

And not be like the foolish virgins but enter into consciousness and look for oil for our lamps, and be responsible and manage wisely our God-given talent. And that the lost can be recovered and returned to the 99.

And as children of God we are called to unity and so the world may believe that Jesus Christ is the only way, truth and life and light of your presence shine upon us. In John 14:6 Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but through Me "But the truth remains. " And there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved . "(Acts 4:12)." There is one God and one mediator between God and man Christ Jesus "(1 Tim. 2:5). He is the way perfect the presence of God .
the streets no more be stained with the blood of men for his wars and vanities, but they run through the Blood that restores, heals, saves, redeems, Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.

prepare, Christ is coming soon.

"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son except the Father.
heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time ". San Marcos 13: 32 and 33.

MAKE THIS YOUR BEST DECISION DAY, TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE.

Jesus is the life for all who repent and believe in Him for salvation. He alone saves us from death. Christ is the Liberator's death both physical and spiritual and eternal.

Coubertin and the electoral requiem

Within days we will know the outcome of regional elections in Catalonia, after many months in the media of communication, or not make good predictions for a color change in the government policy of the Generalitat. No one expects miracles. No one expects major changes. In fact, I think only a minority of the population knows what pending the outcome of next Sunday (lighter it has a majority of Monday's game). It will live an election in an atmosphere full of disappointment, seasoned with a dose of skepticism and a serious lack of illusion. Rarely does a political party may get as much (At percentage) with so little (absolute score). And what I find most disappointing: the participation promises to be less than four years ago (already, low (56.04%)), so that Parliament is constituted and the resulting government will have less explicit legitimacy (and more legitimate passive).

All polls predict a resounding "punishment vote" for PSC and ERC, second and third most voted party in 2006, would lose an important part of representatives in the Parliament, and a wide comfortable victory CiU which has many numbers to invest their candidate as the next President de la Generalitat. But Sunday's results can be a real wealth of nonsense: the PSC may take the worst results ever, but the irony of all is that CiU too. It is still surprising that, for those doing the numbers, they are the favorite for this election, it has surpassed one million votes in 6 of the 8 previous parliamentary elections, according to the surveys can approach the absolute majority less than 800,000 votes (negative record of a match winner, in 1980, is 752,000 votes.) The message goes on to say that "we will punish the main party in government, but not like the alternative." And yet apparently somewhat incongruous, the reaction which can lead to abstention is to get more power and influence a game with less popular support than normal.
I think one of the major handicaps of our democracy is the lack of education and considerable political ignorance. And when I say "ignorance" I do not mean simply to ignore the performance, if only in part, of political structures or the political system itself. There are forms of political participation beyond going to vote, many of which are underused and ignored by a significant percentage of the population (including he can not vote.) Thus it is difficult there is a high degree of knowledge of what is politics (in particular) and occurring real citizen involvement in the development and implementation of public policies. You can blame it on the public institutions, of course, but I think some of the blame also lies with many members of society that lives in the comfort of being represented and thereby allowed the luxury of ignoring entirely the public affairs and / or groups (except where a particular problem).

Regarding the electoral system, even today many people do not distinguish between abstention and white vote. And the difference is significant. Blank votes are "valid votes" and counted in the total percentages, not vote abstention counts as a relatively discredited data but has no impact on the distribution of parliamentary seats (these are shared equally and parliamentarians have no fewer features or charge less because participation is low and vice versa). The same applies to spoiled ballots, do not count. Therefore, in times of disappointment, "white vote is for something?. Much more than not voting, for sure.

The arithmetic D'Hondt system (system of distribution of seats as the valid votes that each party) indirectly gives a modest white paper to vote (like voting for small parties that never make representation). May cause harm to the majority party and minority parties. On the one hand, a massive white vote majority party complicates the standard rate of votes throughout the district (territory), by making it difficult (not prevent) that this party can get an absolute majority. A smaller share, the absolute majority is more accessible; greater participation, albeit with a lot of blank votes, more "face" is to get it. This makes the distribution of the last seats (Counted more than 98%) is most exciting.

small parties with something similar happens. The minimum percentage of total valid votes for representation in parliament is 3%. With low participation, that 3% is achieved with a smaller number of votes. If, for example, followers of a rock star form a political party and will vote when disenchanted society does not, much less participation, is likely to reach that 3% simply voting her fan club. In fact, something allowed to and its candidate CORI Ariel Santamaria (who is usually dressed as Elvis Presley) to obtain representation in the city of Reus. And, if participation is as low as expected, the arithmetic logic is that games can allow Solidarity, or Platform Reagrupament per Catalunya (stating that the quote together for their vote potential close that 3%, not because I consider that "are the same") are represented in parliament with a total number of votes in other elections, would be by far insufficient to ensure a seat. I gather that, according to voter turnout that has, there will be excitement in the counting of votes for these candidates to determine whether they fall or are not their representatives in Parliament and at the cost of which party they will.

anything change this?. It is understandable that there is some skepticism about it. As I said before, the signs are not very encouraging. However, I believe that democracy is not something that we have given so handsome we are. After all, many people played the guy in favor of it. I think we've settled so we do not value it enough so it gives us. And therefore, I am partial to participate even a little, since it is clear that for many voters this will not be important to win (as would Coubertin. Perhaps they'll leave for Barcelona-Madrid). Are all politicians the same? Well, where the champion who, instead of waiting patiently at home the arrival of a new "messiah" is ready to prove that there may be better?

Tea Monsters

Following characters "brilliant." Yesterday, we held the elections U.S. where, to the low participation and a significant protest vote, has highlighted the presence of certain candidate of a faction (to call in a way) of the already conservative Republican Party if: Tea Party (the party of tea).

For those not familiar with the "Tea Party" owes its name to the anticolonial movement emerged in Boston in 1773, coming to pick up the latent discontent in the American colonies in the UK in relation to certain taxes to be paid (including tea) and rebelled against monopolistic spoiled and the British Society East Indies. In Boston, members of this movement sabotaged the cargo area of \u200b\u200bone of the boats of the company, throwing it all away and wasting of some 10,000 pounds then. This action prompted a reaction from the British authorities, who closed the harbor and declared a state of emergency under the supervision of the British Army. The posterior tension only needed a spark to blow up everything and a clash between demonstrators and soldiers saldaría with 5 dead. future was emerging War of Independence of the United States .

The "Tea Party" today has little to do with that movement, more focused on claiming more equal treatment and a politically independent from Great Britain and trade on the East India Company. The new Tea Party has a very varied group of members with certain elements in common: strong moral conservatism, demanding gobieno limiting federal power, absolute market freedom (though the crisis economic worldwide are suffering as a result of the perversion of that freedom) and, of course, the belief that Obama is a communist devil. Well, I forgot: no tax for the poor to "suck" state. So that everyone will shake, and who will die of hunger, bad luck (this comment has come "very European.") Some may think that many political candidates Republicans (and some Democrats) also have this profile. However, the advantage that the "tea party members is that they should not worry about being politically correct. And whatever they say in public, someone will help them spread their message (as the tycoon communication, Ruppert Murdoch, with the help of its network "Fox") and who will follow him because they say they need to hear many people (even if true nonsense).

In a year in which one individual has accumulated many frustrations about the current economic situation and why the disenchantment with politics has become more than obvious, the "tea party", led spiritually by the ex-candidate U.S. vice-presidential, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (a woman with "balls"), have gained lots of popularity and have submitted their nominations to Congress and the United States Senate many options chosen out despite his lack of political experience (or management policy) and representations sometimes something sectarian. Already imposed on many Republican primary, which allowed them to go to the houses of parliament with the support of the Republican Party, and are willing to battle to get his seat. And today we have seen where they have arrived. In recent months, had drawn attention to the following candidates:

Carl Paladino ran for governor of New York. It is a real estate developer something macarrilla Obama blaming all their woes and does not hesitate to promise to "take a baseball bat to make things my own way ". All a defender of public morality (although he acknowledged sending e-mails with pornographic content cronies) and family (despite having an illegitimate daughter with a former employee). He handcuff a journalist for "heavy", but not before threatening him with a "see you in the street." has lost 30 points to Democrat Andrew Cuomo . A loss that will breathe a little quieter Yorkers teachers and staff ( those who sought to freeze the salary), users of health care provision (Medicaid, which sought to reduce by 30%), union representatives (which compared with pigs because hamper only), those receiving any social benefits (which required apply a year in advance, leaving his fingerprints and pass a drug test) and, especially, the Iroquois (which required the payment of taxes to help offset the elimination plusváluas tax and higher income levels).

37,000 votes and 18 points have separated the "Tea Party" Rich Iott his Democratic rival, Rep. Marcy Kaptur force. It is possible that fans who had to dress as a Nazi (and participate in performances of the Second World War from the German point of view) did not grace the voters of Ohio. However, has added 80,000 votes.

More media is Fox commentator Christine O'Donnell. Delaware senatorial candidate, has indicated his fiscal conservatism in their proposals. But, yes, it was nothing compared with his insight into the moral and religious grounds. Evangelist and advocate of chastity and abstinence (proposes to punish any act with sexual connotations in the street), their arguments regarding masturbation as "a form of adultery can be disquieting. But if something has been troubling not so much its efforts to impose the teaching of Catholicism in all schools not know that the U.S. Constitution forbids it and show their ignorance in a public debate with his rival for the Senate . In the end, the clone of Sarah Palin (has come to copy his style of dress) was defeated by 50,000 votes.

Although
for "geek" as a list of Tea Party's candidate to lead the Nevada senator, former professor Sharron Angle. Party to dispel the federal education ministry, abandon (USA) UN declared climate change as a scientific fraud, privatize all health, eliminate all regulation in the oil and gas extraction and give absolute freedom to any militia to be armed to the teeth, also bound by law that marriage is only possible between a man and a woman and ban abortion in all cases (including incest and rape) because in both cases, "going against God's Plan ". The best of his performances have been, perhaps, his protest because a football team in Nevada used colors on their uniforms Satanic (dressed in black) or addressing a group of students speaking, say that many of them seemed Asian and then remind them that it was the first Asian legislator Nevada (sic). Maybe it was a sign of wisdom that, despite all its problems, Senator Democrat Harry Reid has kept his seat as a senator and has Angle defeated at the polls by 5% of votes.

osbtante No, not been all bad news for conservatives "tea party". Some have been elected in their respective elections. The highlights are the new senator from Florida, Marco Rubio ("you have to limit federal power because politicians change Washington"), or the new senator Kentacky libertarian, Rand Paul (as opposed to regulating in the Federal State civil rights). However, although they may seem a bit radical, they are still new policy options that have attracted a disconsolate electorate. It is clear that they will not stop conservatives defend their interests. And of course, open a future political scenario for the GOP in a few years, appear (or reappear) new lesser-known candidates who may sell to the public as "moderate conservative candidates" to a greater extent to the general electorate. Candidates who meet the assumptions about liberty and republican values, but which will be shown as "least bad option" (as present at the time of winning elections) to a few Democratic candidates confused and more radical conservative alternative. Basically, take advantage of the displacement of the (theoretical) "Political Center" to the ideological right and will be equally useful to try to "load" the change of Obama. A formidable strategy.
