God isn't dead though for many He is not relevant
In the 1960ies we often heard it said that God was dead. Carl Ludwig Nietzsche, was appointed pastor at Röcken by order of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, after whom Friedrich Nietzsche was named. Before Friedrich Nietzsche's fifth birthday his father died in 1849. He was left to live in a household consisting of […]
Dying for or instead
Tragically, the simple words "Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8) have been grossly misunderstood as meaning that Christ died instead of us. There are a number of connections between Romans 5 and 1 Cor. 15 (e.g. v. 12 = 1 Cor. 15:21; v. 17 = 1 Cor. 15:22). "Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8) is […]
Faith coming by hearing and sent preacher gift from God
"Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Rom. 10:17) The Apostle Paul in this verse tells us that no one can believe unless they hear. In the same context, he also says that no one can hear unless "a preacher" is "sent." (vss. 14,15) Thus, without question the "sent preacher" is […]

Application of old pagan concept of trinity

Tri-union gods and Pagan, Christian, Muslim and Jewish views on the Creator God
Throughout history of mankind there have many groups of people who worshipped a triple deity (sometimes referred to as threefold, tripled, triplicate, tripartite, triune or triadic, or as a trinity). Those people who worshipped such tri-une god all claim they only worship one deity. Such deities that are worshipped as one are common throughout world mythology; the number three has a long history of mythical associations. Carl Jung considered the arrangement of deities into triplets an archetype in the history of religion. But the God of the Bible is clear about Which God has to be worshipped, not a more headed, be it an eightfold, three-une or bi-one god, but only the God of Abraham, Which is only One God of gods.
Find out in this article and its links how Jews, Christians and Muslims may have been influenced by the pagan gods and false teachings and how they have to separate them from such pagan teachings.

The Pleasanton Weekly--newly designed, easier to read
Original post made by Jeb Bing, editor of the Pleasanton Weekly, on Apr 17, 2009
That might be what some of you are thinking about the new look of today's Pleasanton Weekly, where we've made a number of subtle, or in the case of our new nameplate, not-so-subtle changes. Even newspapers, like individuals, occasionally get a facelift, and this is ours. (Click here to see a PDF of today's print edition.)
Gone is the stark block nameplate with Pleasanton in green positioned atop Weekly in big black letters. And there's a reason. Art Director Rick Nobles, who was asked to update the design of this newspaper when he joined our staff last year, likes to think out loud about how headlines, section designations and nameplates sound when readers talk about them.
While the block-style nameplate Pleasanton Weekly looked good in print and on local billboards, say at the back of the bandstand at the Friday Concerts in the Park, which we sponsor, it's different when spoken. People call us the Pleasanton Weekly, with no particular emphasis on either word. But to Nobles, the green-colored "Pleasanton" accented that word unlike the way it's usually said. Some newspapers with long-standing nameplates, such as the News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.) or Sun-Times (Chicago) don't use their city's name. That wouldn't work for the Weekly, of course, so Nobles' new nameplate is more horizontal in the same InDesign software program, with our signature green flowing under the name to the right. Even that is a Nobles unique design.
A 12-year resident of Pleasanton, he's looked at and walked the Pleasanton Ridge as most of us, always awed by our city's eye-popping western skyline. So that ridgeline has now become part of our nameplate, again adding to our hometown image.
Nobles, who has many years of design, newspaper production and editing experience dating back to the 1980s and pre-computer design work at a small Nebraska daily, honed his skills as a designer and editor at the San Jose Mercury News for 15 years and then seven more at the San Francisco Chronicle. He's paid attention to changes in typography, fonts, section identities (or flags, as he calls them) more than most. Words such as point sizes, Berkeley Old Style, sans serif, Helvetica, Gothic and other popular typefaces are as much part of his vocabulary as Main Street, police log and Streetwise are for editors.
You'll notice a number of Nobles' subtle changes as you read through this edition. This column, for instance, uses Berkeley Oldstyle with a drop cap tag for the first paragraph. The column also runs ragged right, which besides separating it from the justified flush right for editorials and most other copy, also tends to reduce the number of hyphens that have to be used to move part of a word to the next line. Nobles also has created new column, editorial and other special feature heads, again using InDesign guidelines. Speaking of the Editorial, we're now using a larger type face to set it off from conventional news stories, which are generally in 9-point type. Calendar listings have also been boosted which may be helpful for those with maturing eyes.
You'll also find the newly designed Pleasanton Weekly a bit more organized, with stories, columns, listings, sports and features more clearly identified. We'll try to make photos larger where space permits and do a better job of playing them off accompanying stories with, as Nobles calls it, "a rhythm of perspective." That's harder in a magazine format such as ours, but we're also easier to handle and read than broadsheets, which is the style of most dailies.
Typeface aficionados will find news headlines in more readable ITC Legacy Sans Ultra, with cover stories and Living section titles specially designed by Nobles and his staff with InDesign. This desktop publishing software has enabled Nobles (and publication designers throughout the industry) to move more quickly and creatively from his days at the Nebraska daily where pencils, pica rulers and page drafting forms were the tools of the trade.

I do not like the new look of The Pleasanton Weekly! It is more plain, boring, and dull! The traditional Pleasanton Weekly was just fine...Why change it? If it ain't broke don't fix it! Please change it back!!!!

Is this really what you are doing with your time over there? People are desperate for jobs these days and you guys aren't doing yours??? Jeb, get with the program: Your readers aren't impressed with typesets and color, page placement or spacing. We're interested in accurate reporting of the happenings in Pleasanton...even those that you disagree with. Is this why the Pleasanton Tea Party wasn't accurately depicted in writing or the most important community gathering wasn't placed "front and center" on page 1? Am I expecting too much of this town's reporters and their editor?

Wow that's some venom 'Really Jeb'. I've done a webpage for a year and understand all the tiny decisions that have to be made. It's maddening. First of all it looks fine. Ihave some ideas but all and all it's a good site.

I believe this article was about the new look of the print copy of the PW, not the website.

World egg day is October 12, so make sure you get enough of nature's perfect little protein capsules.
Asparagus soldiers
The perfect spring combination, upgraded egg and soldiers, made famous by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Dip lightly steamed asparagus into a soft boiled egg stirred with drops of butter and cider vinegar (hollandaise without the hassle).
Scotch eggs
Revisit a childhood favourite: surround hard-boiled eggs with herby sausage meat, dip in flour, then eggs then breadcrumbs and deep fry. Try to save some leftovers for lunch the next day.
Savoury bread pudding

Deborah Rhodes:
A test that finds 3x more breast tumors, and why it's not available to you
Working with a team of physicists, Dr. Deborah Rhodes developed a new tool for tumor detection that's 3 times as effective as traditional mammograms for women with dense breast tissue. The life-saving implications are stunning. So why haven't we heard of it? Rhodes shares the story behind the tool's creation, and the web of politics and economics that keep it from mainstream use.

Matt Antoine completes first two Olympic runs
PdC native Matt Antoine results after day one
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (WKBT) - Midway through the Olympic men's skeleton competition, Matt Antoine has a shot to win the United States' first medal in the sport since 2002.
The Prairie du Chien, Wis. native sits in fourth place, with a combined time of 1:53.84. He posted a 56.89 on his first run, followed by a 56.95 on his second run.
Russian Aleksandr Tretiyakov (1:51.99) sits in first, Latvian Martins Dukurs (1:52.55) sits in second and American John Daly (1:53.58) is in third.
"Nothing is a foregone conclusion in this sport, anything can happen, but Tretiyakov and Dukurs seem to have those first two medals locked in and the rest of the field is definitely fighting for bronze," Antoine said.
Antoine and Daly, who are best friends, appear to be the most likely contenders to take bronze.
"We had an idea that the two of us would be battling it out, so I don't think either of us is necessarily surprised," Antoine said. "Our goal is to win medals."
This is the first of two days of competition. Each Olympic athlete completes a total of four runs (two runs each day). Medals are awarded based on total time from the four runs. The winner has the lowest total time.
"I think it's good to get the first day out of the way, it helps you relax. I'm a little more accustomed to the atmosphere and know what to expect heading into the next day," Antoine said.
The competition continues Saturday at 8:45 a.m. CT.

Hi All,
After experimenting with Brushy Mountain and Dadant brands, I bought 9 more Dadant top feeders for my backyard apiary because fewer bees drowned in the Dadant unit than the Brushy Mountain unit.
Although I did not have this problem with the first Dadant unit I experimented with, many of the subsequent 9 units that I bought leaked. The Dadant wood is cypress and is unsealed. After a week of being filled with syrup, the side panels of the Dadant unit absorb enough liquid to warp and pull away from each other and cause leaks. The clear sealer Dadant smeared into the corners of each feeder was not able to maintain a seal in the face of such warpage. Interestingly, the Brushy Mountain unit had the interior surfaces waterproofed with a clear sealant.
Is there some product I can paint/spray onto the interior wood surfaces to seal it and stop the warpage and which won't leach unsafe chemical into the syrup?
Has anyone else experienced this warpage/leakage problem with Dadant top feeders and found an easy and cheap solution?

[quote user="dezzzR"]pay no mind to matt. hell jump on the ranger bandwagon once the playoffs start.
speaking of the rangers, great game last night. beat the defending champions. king quist had 40 saves and his 7th shut out of the season. 37-13. theyre playing amazing hockey.
I dont really follow hockey much anymore. It would be pretty awesome though if the Rangers had a huge year.

Got a call around 9:00 this morning saying we got a tractor trailer of bees with a shifted load and they needed help. I suited up and headed over.
Who ever loaded the semi, made a mistake. NEVER stack palleted hived on top of pails of syrup.
the pails crushed, and the front of the load shifted pretty bad. we had to un-load the front hives, move the syrup, and reload the truck.
Headed from GA. to Maine for blueberries.
It could have been MUCH worse. if the weather was warmer it would have been even more of a mess. luckly it was around 53 when we started.
Interesting way to start the week

The start to the 2012 College Football season is just around the corner. Everyone is still undefeated right now, as optimism flows through each fanbase.
I'll break down and pick the winner of each conference, the winner of the BCS championship game, and the finalists and winner for the Heisman trophy.
Big East Champion: South Florida--USF is led by quarterback B.J. Daniels, an athletic dual-threat QB who ran for 601 yards and six touchdowns last year. The Big East is the weakest of the BCS conferences, but USF, Louisville, and Pitt give them a strong top three.
Big Ten Champion: Michigan--Quarterback Denard Robinson will lead the Wolverines to the top of the Big Ten this year. One of the fastest and most dynamic players in the country, Robinson will cause problems for the strong defenses of the Big Ten.
ACC Champion: Virginia Tech--There is a lot of competition for VT this year, but they should come out on top. FSU, Clemson, and UNC also have very good teams. NC State, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, and UVA are no pushovers either. But the Hokies have a great defense and enough offensive firepower to win the conference.
Big 12 Champion: Oklahoma--This pick was basically a toss up between Oklahoma, Texas, West Virginia, and Oklahoma State. But OK State should take a big step back after losing Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon to the NFL, while Landry Jones chose to stay in college and the Sooners also brought in top WR recruit Trey Metoyer. Texas has some QB uncertainty, and WV is talented but played a weak conference schedule in the Big East.
SEC Champion: LSU--The SEC is so good that it's hard to predict here. I think LSU will face UGA in the SEC championship game, but Alabama could easily replace LSU from the West and Florida replace UGA in the East. LSU gets Alabama at home this year, which is the biggest reason I have them winning.
Pac-12 Champion: USC--Quarterback Matt Barkley might be the best player in the country this season, and his presence is the biggest reason I have USC winning the Pac-12. He also gets to throw to arguably the best WR in the country, Robert Woods. This offense will be tough to stop.
Heisman Finalists:
5. Marcus Lattimore, RB (South Carolina)
4. Aaron Murray, QB (Georgia)
3. Montee Ball, RB (Wisconsin)e
2. Landry Jones, QB (Oklahoma)
1. Matt Barkley, QB (USC)
BCS Championship: USC defeats LSU. LSU lost Morris Clairborne, Michael Brockers, Reuben Randle, and Brandon Taylor to the NFL and Tyrann Mathieu to suspension, and they have to face Auburn, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Texas A&M, all great teams. They are going to be worn down by the time they have to face the powerful USC team. The Trojans' offense is exceptional, maybe best in the country, led by quarterback Matt Barkley. Coach Lane Kiffin has a lot of doubters, and will silence them with a BCS championship victory.

Based on the most homosexual movie seen in recent cinema history: Brokeback Mountain, a man who is extremly homosexual and has the combined homosexuality of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal to make the ultimate gay cowboy. A Jake Heath offender tends to support Tottenham Hotspur due to their homosexual fanbase.
When a man is in the mountains, he says "damn i hope Jake Heath isn't here" as he knows an extremly painful rape may be on the cards. If a man is found violently sexually abused, the police will instantly name the case 'Jake Heath'.

text: What you say about difference between 'two skating as one' and "programs that are about two people and how they relate to each other" is quite interesting and probably accurate. I think that very important part in pairs skating is the unison of the two, weather they are performing a side by side jump, pair spin or footwork section. During 2002 Olympics in LP S&P did not take off or land their side by side triple at the same moment. For me - that shows lack of unison. Both B&S and S&Z had the take off and landing at the same moment. And I think T&M as well. I've always preferred B&S but that particular season I was very impressed with LP S&P had put together. I think it was called The Orchid and it was to 2nd movement of Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concert. They showed off all the things they, imo - improved about themselves in past seasons. I was so happy that Olympics were going to be so interesting since I already knew the Russians had a very complex LP. So when they pulled out Love story, program that was 3 years old, with crowd pleasing tricks and exactly the same spread sheet of elements as their 2001 LP... I usually think that when you can "cut" the program from element to element while watching it on tv for the very first time - that the choreography is not that good since there is nothing going on between the "big" elements. Can anyone tell me why did S&P drop The Orchid? I dont remember reading anything about it. Were they playing it safe? Was The Orchid too complex for them?

Mars was the first planet that humans attempted to reach. Since the 1960s, scientists have been working to learn about the Red Planet's past. We now know that Mars was once a warm, wet place with great oceans and deep rivers. We also know that about 3.7 billion years ago, all that water disappeared when the planet lost its air. But why did the atmosphere on Mars change so dramatically?
This week, NASA launched the MAVEN spacecraft in hopes of answering that very question. MAVEN will study the remains of Mars's air and help scientists figure out what became of the rest of it.
Marvelous MAVEN
The spacecraft launched on Monday, November 18, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The trip to Mars takes about 10 months, and MAVEN is scheduled to go into orbit in September 2014. It is the first spacecraft created exclusively to study the Martian upper atmosphere. Its wingspan measures 37.5 feet—not quite the length of a school bus—and it weighs 1,991 pounds—about the same amount as a small car.
MAVEN is equipped with eight different tools to measure and study the planet's atmosphere. To collect information, it will fly in an orbit as fast as 3,278 miles per hour, and as slow as 93 miles per hour.
Once it arrives at the Red Planet, MAVEN will have plenty of company. The rover Curiosity is still zipping around the planet's rocky surface, studying the geology, chemistry and possible biology of Mars. India launched its first unmanned mission earlier this month. NASA currently has a number of orbiters capturing unique views of Mars with powerful cameras and telescopes.
These missions are all slow, steady steps forward to unveil Mars's secret past. While the end results may not be revealed for some time, an exciting exploration lies ahead.

Someone please say something interesting.

[/quote]So who/what position do you guys want us to target in the draft this year??
Im torn in the 1st few rounds, I feel like Eli doesnt need a crazy TE like Allen or Fleener cause he makes decent guys like Boss and Ballard look damned good, then again Eli with a nasty Graham-type TE would be insane
I would really like for us to look at a OT or CB in the 1st, if we have a nasty RT to step in and help out immediatley then our run game can be brought back to prominence. Then again we dont know what we're gonna have in T2 if he comes back so maybe drafting a CB like Jenkins or Kirkpatrick who is destine to drop in the draft would be a nice idea
We have so many different ways we can go...
if we don't get something done with Osi, do we trade him and maybe look at a DE if he falls?
How bout OLine? Can Boothe play RT? Are we going to go with Petrus? Tackle is a positon we could look at.
Theres a good chance we lose Phillips next year becuase of the cap hell we're in, do we get a saftey now if we have value?
LBer is always in the mix.
How bout a TE?
CB is a def possibility with Ross and T2 up in the air. I'd be surprised if we were able to retain either of them
its so impossible to determine right now.
[/quote]Well I havent even begun to look or even think of DE's but we know JR and he could very well draft a DE in the 1st as insurance
With the OL and Boothe, I really like him at OG or C, then again I really like Petrus on the inside as well. As long as Snee can pick his game up next season then Petrus will have to keep warm on the sidelines cause Boothe showed that he should be starting and I feel like we have to keep Baas starting cause of what we payed for his dumbass
In respect to LB, I think we're ok there as long as we sign Goff. We have some nice depth with Chase, JQ Williams, Herzlich, Greg Jones, IMO this year we should pass on an LB..... Unless its that dude Vontaze Burfict from Arizona St, that guy plays like a serial murderer on the field, and I heard he's a ghost off the field, no problems or nothing... Just a nut case on the field, LOL
Im still not sold on TE, but if we got Allen or Fleener I wouldnt be devistated
I think Ross will be gone, and we'll sign T2... Then again thats my hopeful thinking, and I feel like with the league is heading, CBs are the new pass rushers, its never bad to have too many good ones
we're in bad cap hell though... its going to be hard to really sign/resign anybody..
I think T2 is going to price himself out of what the Giants will offer
I know he was looking for 4-5 mil a year...
I can't see us willing or even capable of doing it...
Plus honestly KP is a FA next year....
We're just going to be worse off next year (unless we decide to not lock up Nicks or Cruz)
[/quote]jacobs, rolle and canty need to take a pay cut. elis making 20 million this year....
[/quote]ALOT of guys need to take a pay cut.... Maybe even Eli could re-restructure his monstorous contract
Webby and Jacobs for sure. I thought BJ would be gone but now I think we could keep him with a pay cut. He goes with Bradshaw. They really are better with the other guy on the team. But drafting a RB in the first 3 rounds is a definate possibility.
[/quote]Corey is one of the best players on the team. he earned his 5 million this year and he will earn his 6 million next year. Without a doubt the most under rated corner in the league.

How should the terrain inside the box be represented mathematically? One elegant idea is to make the earth's surface the graph of a continuous function h(x,y), which defines a height h for every combination of x and y coordinates. (I assume the spherical surface is projected onto a plane. Also, it's necessary to smooth out cliffs and overhangs, so that every x,y pair yields a unique h.) The main advantage of this scheme is that you can find maxima and minima of the height function by taking the derivative of h and looking for its zeroes. The disadvantage is that an equation for all of North America is likely to be quite unwieldy.
A more practical alternative is a discrete model, defining the elevation of the surface only at a finite number of points arranged in a grid. To keep things simple, let the grid be rectangular, formed by the intersections of evenly spaced north-south and east-west lines. Also, connect each grid point only to its four nearest neighbors, so that water on the model landscape flows only in the four cardinal directions. With this model of the terrain, the task of a continental-divide algorithm can be stated more concretely. For each grid point, the algorithm must answer the question: Does this point lie on the divide? Does it shed water into two basins that do not communicate with each other?
As we motored on into Montana, I tried to come up with a quick-and-easy algorithm to answer these questions. My first thought was to make the most of local information about the immediate neighborhood surrounding each point. I reasoned that the divide ought to run mainly along ridges, and ridges can be recognized by a distinctive pattern of higher and lower neighbors.
But analyzing neighborhoods proved messy. Each of a point's four neighbors can be above, below or level with the central point, and so there are 34=81 possible configurations. That was too many cases to keep in mind while cruising down the Interstate, so I decided to simplify by pretending that no two adjacent grid points are ever at exactly the same height. (This ruse is not as unrealistic as it might seem; if you could measure elevations with infinite precision, the probability of finding two identical values would be zero.)
When all neighbors must be either higher or lower, there are 16 local configurations, and they can be further consolidated into just six classes. A peak is a point higher than all four of its neighbors, and a pit is lower than all of its neighbors. A point with exactly three lower neighbors lies on a ridgeline. The opposite case of three higher neighbors describes points along a valley bottom—a line known to topographers and crossword solvers as a thalweg. Finally, the points with equal numbers of higher and lower neighbors fall into two subclasses. If you stand on the central point and turn through 360 degrees to survey the neighbors, you might see them in a sequence such as above-above-below-below; a point of this kind lies on a slope. If the neighbors alternate, as in the sequence above-below-above-below, then the point is a saddle or pass. A saddle is special: It is the only kind of point that lies both on a ridgeline and on a thalweg.

In many types of survival analyses, including stcox, the hazard changes
over time. The unique selling point of -stcox- is that this change in
hazard over time is not modeled, so you can't make an error in
specifying how the hazard rate changes over time (you can make errors
on how the hazard rate changes over other variables though). This is
why Cox regression is sometimes called semi-parametric. This point is
explained on pages 21--24 of
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/wp/survival.html . Even though the hazard
rates are not directly estimated by -stcox-, you can recover them after
you have estimated a Cox model. In Stata you can do this using

Underemployment a problem on the High Desert
One in three jobs in Central Oregon in leisure and hospitality
BEND, Ore. - Forget the spa, a shopping trip or a vacation -- a Redmond woman blew out the birthday candles with a gift to herself she hopes will give her a leg up: a new college degree.
"I'm now going on to my master's degree through Walden University with a master's in project management," Jamie Johnson said Wednesday.
Johnson graduated from OSU-Cascades a few years ago with a bachelor's of science in fine art.
She said she switched majors several times while attending college, and had a tough time finding a well-paying job in Central Oregon once she graduated.
She started working in banking, and now works at a property management company, doing vacation rentals.
At 32, Johnson said she's underemployed -- doing a job that doesn't require a degree.
"I feel these days, a bachelor's degree is just like a high school diploma," Johnson said. "It's not as sought after, because everyone has one."
Part of Johnson's job is in the tourism industry, and Central Oregon Workforce Analyst Kim Thompson said there are plenty of educated people in her shoes.
"About one in three jobs (in Central Oregon) is in the tourism, retail, or leisure and hospitality industry -- that's big," Thompson said.
Thompson said the High Desert has the highest percentage of tourism jobs of all metro areas in the state. In Portland, it's about one in five jobs; Eugene has about one in four.
"Manufacturing, construction, retail, leisure and hospitality -- these are things we do well over here, but also jobs you can get right out of high school without a lot of education," Thompson said. "It's great for your economy, but it does create an underemployment situation."
Thompson said about 14 percent of the U.S. workforce is either unemployed or underemployed. That number is nearly 16 percent in Oregon.
She noted that both the nation and Oregon are still recovering from the recession.
"(What we are seeing with jobs is) exactly what a buildup after a recession would look like," Thompson said. "You would get jobs that are lower-paying. Tose kinds of jobs come first, and build a pyramid to higher-paying jobs in the same industry."
When you look at employment postings, you might see a lot of low-paying jobs, but Thompson said that doesn't mean the high-wage jobs aren't out there.
She said about 80 percent of job openings never hit a job board; the ones that do make it are usually low-pay and high-turnover.
Thompson said networking is the most powerful tool for job placement, but education also helps.
Johnson said she's confident with her new degree, she'll land the job she loves, making the money she deserves.
"I want to be like everyone else and own a house and the car," Johnson said. "I want to wear the business suit every day."
Johnson said after she finishes her master's degree, she'll be about $130,000 in debt -- but she says it's the price she'll pay to become more hirable.

Where I stayed
Ignacio and Clara's place
The next morning we pounded the pavements and walked all the way down through Central Havana to Old Havana, and found out some information about the possibility of visiting Vernales for a couple of days whilst we were here. Although we were happy with our casa, it was a bit cramped and the son of the host had started the hard sale on us trying to flog all sorts of things from cigars to scuba diving trips. As we were walking back past the University an older guy started to talk to us in Spanish, and although we'd had people trying to talk to us all day, we both immediately got good vibes from him and he asked us to wait outside his house whilst he called his Senora. Clara, his wife, was able to speak some english and it transpired that these 2 also ran a casa particular and had a room available. We went to have a look and were so happy when they took us upstairs to the first floor which comprised of a lovely double room, private bathroom, private kitchen, and huge roof terrace complete with rocking chairs, grapes growing everywhere and a view of the university. All for $2 more a night than we were already paying. Seeing this easily helped us make up our minds to stay in Havana for the next 5 days and really explore the city, not to mention a welcome break from long distance bus journeys
So the next morning we moved house and our new hosts Clara and Ignacio made us very welcome. They insisted that the first thing we do is exchange some of our convertible pesos for cuban pesos so that we could get more for our money. There is a dual currency system in Cuba, meaning that one convertible peso that tourists are given to spend (which is roughly the same as $1 US) are automatically worth 24 times the value of one cuban peso which is the currency that cuban nationals work with. It's a strange system really, as we found out during our stay that the things you can buy with cuban pesos are extremely limited to bread, fruit, eggs, local bus tickets, and the odd restaurant or food stall / ice cream stand. On the other hand, many of the shops and restaurants in Havana that are specifically for tourists only accept convertible pesos, and the food in these places is not cheap, immediately excluding any of the local people from being able to eat in them. Likewise with the taxis; there are loads of old american cars from the 50's that will pick up a cuban national for a few cuban pesos, but it is illegal for them to take tourists, and the likes of us are expected to pay in convertible currency for an official government taxi...again making travelling by cab here very expensive. Anyway, Ignacio was determined to put a stop to this so off we went in search of a bank that would exchange some of our convertibles into cuban pesos, and once we had the money we went to the market for some supplies
We spent the next 4 days having a super nice time in Havana. It really is a fascinating and beautiful city, ranging from the huge colonial buildings (some restored and some about to fall down), live music in the bars in Old Havana, and the sheer amount of people loitering around on every street corner in Central Havana. We decided that we were definitely lost in translation staying with Clara and Ignacio though. They were a little bit eccentric to be fair, and did not seem to grasp the fact that our spanish is very limited. They were so nice and wanted to talk to us at every available opportunity, but we did not have a clue what they were on about most of the time and did a lot of smiling and head nodding in appreciation of whatever it was they were telling us. Despite this, they managed to invite us for a day out to the beach with them on our final day in Cuba, and we thought what the heck and accepted. Well, it was a bit of an epic day out and definitely one to be remembered. We squeezed onto a local bus with hundreds of cubans that took us to the other side of Havana for 1 cuban peso for both of us (about 3 pence). From here, we got herded into the back of what felt and looked just like a cattle truck for the 40 minute journey to Santa Maria beach. The beach was amazing and typically Caribbean with pure white sand and turquoise water and it was so nice to have a swim and cool down after the baking hot journey. Just when we started to relax Ignacio and Clara declared that they were very hungry and that they wanted to take us to a restaurant for cuban nationals only for some cheap food
We were surely going to miss our new cuban friends, including the amazing breakfasts that they had been making us each morning consisting of omelettes, fried bananas and fried malanga vegetables, and different fruit juices that they conjured up using the grapes growing all around the terrace upstairs. Again they insisted that we do as the locals do and proceeded to explain how to make our way to the airport by public bus. It really didn't seem that complicated to us...take bus number P16 for around 40 minutes and ask around on the bus for the pretty universally named 'aeropurto international'. But oh no, Ignacio was not convinced that we'd make it, and wrote us a long note that translates along the lines of 'Please! We are trying to get to the international airport! Please tell us when to get off the bus! Gracias!!'. He insisted that we show this to as many people on the bus as possible, threw my backpack onto a trolley on wheels and walked us down to the bus stop. He would be very proud to know that we did make it all by ourselves, and we were very happy that the journey back to the airport cost us 3 pence as opposed to the $20 we'd payed when we first arrived to get to central Havana in a cab. We were so determined in fact that this is all it would cost us, we walked the final couple of miles from where the bus dropped us to the Jose Marti International Terminal in the mid-day sun with all of our stuff.

S2 Security Available on Mercury Panels
Users of legacy physical security systems will gain access to S2's newer, third generation IP-based physical security technology, coupled with responsive customer service and support.
March 16, 2010
S2 Security, manufacturer of the S2 NetBox and S2 Enterprise integrated IP-based physical security systems, announced the availability of software to allow users of legacy physical security systems running on Mercury Security hardware to migrate and expand with S2's Web-based systems.
Users of legacy physical security systems will gain access to S2's newer, third generation IP-based physical security technology, coupled with responsive customer service and support.
"We are answering the call from security system owners who are unhappy with the technology constraints and lack of support that plague their legacy systems," said John L. Moss, CEO of S2 Security. "Security managers and organizations want advanced systems that cost less to own and operate, are truly easy to use and manage, and are supported by the manufacturer. Our support for Mercury Security's hardware opens the door for those companies to make the move to 3G technology, keep their existing hardware in place, and experience the superior products, service and support that S2 Security is known for."
S2 Security's products implement integrated physical security for facilities and campuses of any scale, the company says. Moving to S2's advanced IP-based physical security technology gives users access to advanced technology that supports complete mobility, reduces the time required to operate their systems and offers the benefits of a network appliance that does not require constant updates or protection from Windows viruses. S2 Security's line of IP network-ready products integrates access control, alarm monitoring, video surveillance, and temperature monitoring. Users of S2 systems require nothing more than a common Web browser to use even the largest S2 Security system.
"We are excited to work with the industry veteran team at S2 Security," said Frank Gasztonyi, co-founder and CTO of Mercury Security Corporation. "We believe that S2 Security's unique value proposition and market approach provides Mercury with another opportunity to exhibit the power and flexibility of our open controller platform."
