Meaning of Christmas?....Food?Pressies?...Well, think twice..

Letter From Jesus
Dear loved ones,
As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated. During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.
It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration.
I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation. The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face .... and I wanted to be with them and share their table.
In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a grand time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying: "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" .. as if the party were in his honor!
At 12 Midnight all the people began to hug each other; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and ... do you know ... no one hugged me. Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me.
What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.
Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, I only want that you believe this with all your heart.
I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party.
I'm still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer the invite, will be left outside.
Be prepared because when all is ready you will be part of my great party.
See you soon.
I Love you!
Jesus
P.S. Please share this message with your loved ones, before Christmas

Solar storm headed for Earth

(SPACE.com) -- Space weather forecasters revised their predictions for storminess after a major flare erupted on the sun overnight threatening damage to communication systems and power grids while offering up the wonder of Northern Lights.
"We're looking for very strong, severe geomagnetic storming" to begin probably around mid-day Thursday, Joe Kunches, Lead Forecaster at the NOAA Space Environment Center, told SPACE.com this afternoon.
The storm is expected to generate aurora or Northern Lights, as far south as the northern United States Thursday night. Astronauts aboard the international space station are not expected to be put at additional risk, Kunches said. (Watch a solar flare )
Radio communications, satellites and power grids could face potential interruptions or damage, however.
Solar flares send radiation to Earth within minutes. Some are also accompanied by coronal mass ejections (CME), clouds of charged particles that arrive in a day or two. This flare unleashed a strong CME that's aimed squarely at Earth.
"It's got all the rights stuff," Kunches said.
However, one crucial component to the storm is unknown: its magnetic orientation. If it lines up a certain way with Earth's magnetic field, then the storm essentially pours into our upper atmosphere. If the alignment is otherwise, the storm can pass by the planet with fewer consequences.
Kunches and his team are advising satellite operators and power grid managers to keep an eye on their systems. In the past, CMEs have knocked out satellites and tripped terrestrial power grids.
Engineers have learned to limit switching at electricity transfer stations, and satellite operators sometimes reduce operations or make back-up plans in case a craft is damaged.
Another aspect of a CME involves protons that get pushed along by the shock wave. Sometimes these protons break through Earth's protective magnetic field and flood the outer reaches of the atmosphere -- where the space station orbits -- with radiation.
The science of it all is a gray area, Kunches said. But the best guess now is that there will only be a slight increase in proton activity. That's good news for the astronauts.
"When the shock goes by, we don't expect significant radiation issues," he said.
The astronauts were ordered to a protective area of the space station as a precaution last night.
Now that sunspot number 930 has flared so significantly -- after several days of being quiet -- the forecast calls for a "reasonable chance" of more major flares in coming days, Kunches said.

Isnt that view of aurora wonderful? Something really magnificient, fantastic, resembling the great power of this universe and also indicator of how small we are, how vunerable we are as humans...We are all of flaws...

From Fair Stand to Mobility - SunDiesel

A smart fortwo CDI fills up with the cleanest and most environmentally friendly fuel ever: SunDiesel. This synthetic diesel fuel was produced from biomass, to be more exact, from the wood in the DaimlerChrysler fair stand at the 2004 Paris International Motor Show. On this fuel the smart car can run for 13,000kms in an environmentally friendly manner! How is this possible? How can two tons of wood be transformed into 500 liters of the cleanest and most environmentally-friendly diesel fuel of all times?
DaimlerChrysler christened the biomass-based sulfur-and aromatics-free fuel SunDiesel. The fuel can be produced from all types of biomass. SunDiesel is largely CO2 neutral. This is because during combustion in the engine, only as much carbon dioxide is created as was previously absorbed from the air by the plants during their growth period. Another advantage: in comparison to the traditional biodiesel is that SunDiesel is more efficient because the whole of the plant is used. What is more, any diesel vehicle can use SunDiesel without modifications. Thus, even today, it would be possible to save up to 200million tons of CO2 in Europe every year. Moreover, tests also show that the particulate figured reduced by up to 50% and those for carbon monoxide by up to 90%. Further improvement could be anticipated if diesel engines are aligned to the new fuel.
DaimlerChrysler regards the reduction of emissions as one of the central challenges for the future of the automobile industry. TOgether with Choren Industries in Freiberg, Germany, DaimlerChrysler has started a pilot project for generating SunDiesel. Volkswagon has also joined in in this co-operation.
The SunDiesel project is a key element of DaimlerChrysler's five step fuel and powertrain strategy "Energy for the Future" for sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility.
Further optimization of combustion engines.Worldwide improvement and standardization of fuel quality. CO2-neutral biofuels from renewable energy resources. Further developement of hybrid drives, as a bridge to fuel cell technology, they key to emission free driving.
