Nub is an innovative concept with one main purpose: to capture and deliver the true essence of a cigar throughout the entire cigar smoking experience. After working countless hours in cigar factories and testing every cigar under the sun, its creator (Sam Leccia) found that most blends require some burn time prior to offering the true flavors and aromas of the tobaccos at play. Therefore, Sam worked with the Oliva factory to develop a choice series of blends using short but thick vitolas creating a family of satisfying cigars that requires no lead time. Nub Maduro 460 Maduro cigars are blended with a Nicaraguan longfiller core rolled in dark, oily Brazilian Maduro wrappers and offer a creamy, robust, and naturally sweet smoke laced with flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, and notes of toffee on a long finish.

Fine maduro smoke.
Don't let the size fool you it will take about the same time to smoke as a robusto does. Being a mauro fan I originally picked this up with hopes of finding a good cigar for smoking when I only have a short time to do so. It didn't help me out there but I found an exceptional smoke. So good in fact that I have gone through a couple of boxes and will be ordering another next month.||These Nub
Epic Maduro Experience
These are better than the nub cameroon 460 because of the quality of the maduro leaf used. it is perfect. The binder is thick and built to provide ample smoke. This is no longer considered a novelty size. Short fatties are here to stay. I have smoked all shapes and wrappers in the nub line and the maduro 460 is the best. I would recommend the 460 size in all wrappers available as well.

A Young Family Serving in North Africa
This young family (from our area) is currently serving in North Africa and their identity cannot be revealed for their protection. Their ministry context is 99% Muslim–a region of "unreached" people groups. This means that the local community of believers is too small or lacks the vision and/or resources to reach, the not-yet-believing population. Few have ever had a meaningful conversation with a Christian and most have never seen a Bible. The socio-political environment is increasingly uncertain yet the spiritual hunger is growing. Many are asking questions and looking for truth using the internet. This young family is part of a missions team that is fishing for men and women of peace by using media tools and building relationships in the community. Their ultimate aim is to see multiple generations of healthy churches reproducing themselves throughout the region. In 2016, pray for the following: (1) That this family would abide in Jesus (John 15:5) and maintain healthy relationships with each other and those around them; (2) For 3 people of peace who would engage their family/friends to discover and obey the Word of God; (3) For (at least) 5 commitments to Christ through baptism and 2 church groups to form under their discipling care.

"Always extremely impressed with NDDH"
About: North Devon District Hospital North Devon District Hospital Barnstaple EX31 4JB
Posted via NHS Choices
I have a heart condition which means my heart can go into Atrial Fibrillation and I require regular cardio versions. I have done so for the last six years whilst my cardiologist tries to sort the problem with various operations and medications. I am a repeat offender at A&E and with the cardio respiratory team, every time I visit (which is a lot) I am always blown away by how fantastic the staff are. They treat me as an individual and listen to me, working together to treat the AF with as little discomfort to me as possible. Every doctor and every nurse treats me as an equal human being and treat each other as team mates. The A&E staff work so well with the Cardio respiratory team which makes a huge impact on the quality of care we receive. Not only does the treatment I receive each time I attend have a positive impact on my wellbeing but the ongoing care and support from your cardio respiratory team has a positive and reassuring impact on my daily life, just knowing they are there at the end of the phone is a massive help. I have the upmost respect and gratitude for all of your staff and feel truly lucky to have an amazing facility and team on my door step.

Sarah Palin's Troubling Theology of Baptism
Over the weekend, Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska, former Vice-presidential candidate and current presence on reality television, gave a speech to the National Rifle Association.
It covered the same ground as the other speeches at the convention, except for this remark, made when she was lamenting the US's foreign policy: "Well, if I were in charge they [the terrorists] would know that water boarding is how we baptize terrorists." The crowd, already primed, cheered and applauded.
(See video of the entire speech here.)
This has sparked controversy, even from Palin's usual supporters. One woman writes a blog post here, which points out that those of us who hold a high sacramental view of baptism really would never conflate it with a form of torture visited upon terrorists. Doing so is a violation of the voluntary, saving nature of the sacrament. (Also–it wouldn't be very efficacious, would it?)
Joking about forced baptism via torture would locate Palin's baptismal theology somewhere in the vicinity of the Inquisition, only without all the clericalism to give it structure.
And that's setting aside the fact that she's condoning torture at all–which by itself desecrates the image of God in humanity.
We talk a lot about Christian education in the church, but, today, Sarah Palin serves as a prime example of why everyone needs to have a good grasp of decent theology. Otherwise powerful people stand up and say, and do, things like this.
Perhaps Ms Sarah's contemporary interpretation of baptism is waterboarding in the name of that most unholy Trinity of FBI, CIA and NSA.
Au contraire, Paul. The fact that the "silly" violent, xenophobic, misanthropic things Sarah Palin says makes crowds cheer and applaud is reason enough to take them seriously and rebut them. And the fact that she makes a pretence of being the public face of Christian virtue and moral decency while spouting such blasphemous, un-Christian, anti-Gospel rot is even more reason to do so. I hope one day Ms. Palin discovers Christ Jesus and opts to follow his teachings and ethics. Thus far, her words and behavior show that has not taken place, yet she persists in claiming the mantle of Christianity, aiding and abetting the stereotypes many hold against all Christians.
It's difficult to take seriously anything Palin says and quite silly to impute theological nuance to her. However, if waterboarding is a form of baptism, in addition to immersion and sprinkling, perhaps terrorists will start showing up at church on Christmas, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday and Easter.

Guitarist Daniel Lippel, called an "exciting soloist" (New York Times), "precise and sensitive" (Boston Globe) and a "modern guitar polymath" (Guitar Review) enjoys a unique and diverse career that ranges through solo and chamber music performances, innovative commissioning and recording projects, and performances in diverse contexts. He has premiered more than fifty new solo and chamber works, many written for him, recording several on the independent label he co-founded and directs, New Focus Recordings. Lippel is the resident guitarist for two critically acclaimed new music groups: the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) since 2005 and new music quartet Flexible Music since 2003. He has been a guest with many ensembles as well, including the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra (concertino soloist in American premiere of H.K. Gruber's Busking for trumpet solo with accordion and banjo concertino), New York New Music Ensemble, New York City Opera, Either/Or Ensemble, Dinosaur Annex, counter(induction, Red Light New Music, Argento New Music Project, Cygnus Ensemble, Ensemble Epomeo, Cantata Profana, FretX Duo with Mak Grgic, and Dance Heigenbotham. Recent featured solo appearances include a performance of his new version of Reich's Electric Counterpoint at The Greene Space at WNYC/WQXR, the premiere performance of William Anderson's Djuna Barnes Settings for soprano, two plucked strings, and orchestra with the Riverside Symphony, the premiere of Dai Fujikura's Sparking Orbit with the SWR Electronic Studio at the ZKM in Karlsruhe (Germany), and a performance of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez on the St. Catherine's of Siena concert series in Riverside, CT. Recital highlights include the Sinus Ton Festival (Germany), University of Texas at San Antonio, Gitar Cafe (Istanbul), Ft. Worth Modern Art Museum for Guitar Guild Festival, Frikirkjan (Reykyavik), Schloss Konigs Wusterhausen (Germany), Tangents Guitar Series at the Center for New Music in San Francisco, Music from the Forefront (Bowling Green, Ohio), Bowdoin College Guest Artist Series (Maine), New York Classical Guitar Society's Salon Series, the Cleveland Classical Guitar Society at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland, Philadelphia Classical Guitar Society, and Cleveland International Guitar Festival at CIM. He performed a recital at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in Australia in October 2014 as one of two finalists in their international search for a new director of their guitar department. As a chamber musician, Lippel has performed at the Macau Music Festival (China), Teatro Amazonas (Manaus, Brasil), Sibelius Academy (Finland), Acht Brücken Festival (Cologne, Germany), Aspekte Festival (Austria), the Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center, Ojai Music Festival, and Zankel and Weill Halls at Carnegie Hall, BAM Harvey Theatre, as well as on the Monadnock, Cooperstown, Bay Chamber, Alpenglow, and Manchester chamber music festivals. Lippel has worked closely with many eminent composers including Mario Davidovsky, John Zorn, Ursula Mamlok, Charles Wuorinen, and Nils Vigeland, premiered music by many others such as Alvin Lucier, Julio Estrada, George Lewis, Olga Neuwirth, and Stephen Jaffe, and also collaborated on new works with several of contemporary music's most active composers, including Dai Fujikura, Peter Gilbert, Ryan Streber, Nico Muhly, Tyshawn Sorey, Peter Adriaanz, Wang Lu, Seung-Won Oh, Doug Boyce, Kyle Bartlett, Nathan Davis, Reiko Fueting, Vineet Shende, Ethan Wickman, Karola Obermueller, John Link, Mikel Kuehn, Orianna Webb, Ken Ueno, Scott Miller, and Du Yun.
Lippel's recordings have garnered him critical acclaim from Gramophone, New York Times, American Record Guide, Classical Review of North America, New Music Box, Sequenza21, and several other publications. Lippel's recording of Bach transcriptions was listed among "Best New Releases in North America" in Gramophone's May 2006 issue, and his collaborative recording of Schubert lieder transcriptions with soprano Tony Arnold was hailed as "a strong performance that will reward the listener" (Classical Voice of North America). In addition to New Focus, he appears on recordings on several labels including Kairos, Tzadik, Wergo, Bridge, Innova, Albany, Centaur, Starkland, Temporary Residence, New World, and Fat Cat. He has performed live in studio on several radio stations, including WNYC/WQXR New York, WBEZ Chicago, KCRW Santa Monica, WCPN Cleveland, WKCR's Bach Fest (Columbia University, NYC), and WFMU Jersey City.
Lippel is an active performer in diverse stylistic contexts, having performed solo sets of his own music for amplified classical guitar and effects at Tokyo's O-Nest, Paris' Café de la Danse, Krakow's Unsound Festival, and the Knitting Factory in New York. As a member of the eclectic indie group Mice Parade, Lippel appeared on the Fuji Rock Festival (Japan), Sydney Festival (Australia), Bestival (U.K.), as well as on numerous tours throughout North America, Europe, and Asia and he has recorded five albums with the group on the Fat Cat label. Lippel has performed with members of Stereolab, Mum, hiM, and The National. His performances in improvised contexts include appearances on John Zorn's Bagatelles premieres series at The Stone, performances within ICE with composer/performers Peter Evans and Cory Smythe, and longterm collaborations with instrumentalist/composers Aidan Plank, Dan Bruce, and Martin Moretto.
As an educator, Lippel is particularly interested in demystifying the contemporary repertoire for guitarists, and the guitar for composers. He has given masterclasses and presentations to guitar departments at many institutions including the Hanns Eisler Hochschule in Berlin, Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, Sydney Conservatorium of Music (Australia), San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Cleveland Institute of Music, New York Classical Guitar Society, and Syracuse University and guest lecture presentations to composition departments at the University of Texas at Austin, DePaul University, New York University, University of California at Davis, Roosevelt University (Chicago), University of South Carolina, and Manhattan School of Music, as well as a presentation to the 2016 Guitar Foundation of America conference on guitar and electronics repertoire.

He was on faculty at Bowling Green State University in Ohio teaching classical guitar from 1999-2001. Lippel received the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree from the Manhattan School of Music, under the guidance of David Starobin, writing his dissertation on the guitar works of Mario Davidovsky. Prior to that, he received Bachelors and Masters degrees from the Cleveland Institute of Music, working with Jason Vieaux and John Holmquist, and was an undergraduate at the Oberlin Conservatory in Stephen Aron's studio, taking secondary jazz lessons with Bob Ferrazza. He was a first prize winner in the ASTA competition, as well as a prize winner in the Rantucci Guitar Competition. Lippel studied with Ricardo Iznaola and Sharon Isbin at the Bowdoin and Aspen Festivals respectively, and before enrolling in college he studied with David Leisner and Nicholas Goluses.

First Time Portaging
Algonquin Park Travel Blog› entry 1 of 2 › view all entries
July 21st, 2006 – by: anissan
We packed all our gear: tent, sleeping bag, food, cooking utensils, firewood, fishing rods, camera & lenses, the list goes on in this 16 ft. canoe we rented from Algonquin Outfitters. Neither Ashour nor I had canoed before and we ended up sitting in our canoe BACKWARDS (i.e. the left tip of the canoe in the picture is the front and we were facing the opposite direction.) So after a frustrating first hour of zig-zagging across the width of this river, we came across a very nice elderly couple who owned a cottage on the river's bank.
The wife was kind enough point us in the right direction (literally). "You need to turn around" the wife shouted, "we're trying!" we replied thinking she was pointing out the obvious.
My only regret is that I did not get the couple's names or simply a picture of them. I am and always will be grateful for that couple's kindness.

A summary, though, is just a start. With large data repositories, its important to organize the results in a meaningful way. Endeca has worked with university libraries, a situation that gives them the advantage of having high organization already in place. Results will come back in categories, such as history or fiction, giving a fine-grained view of the information.
The typical enterprise doesnt have a card catalog at its disposal, however. Search vendors realize this, and as they come up with methods for adding organization to various data stores, they are realizing that search is simply a starting point to the larger issue of information access.
What, though, is the difference between search and information access? Basic search is really little more than hunting for keywords, whereas information access helps organizations find, store, organize, classify, present, and share data and since these are enterprise settings, not the public Internet, having hooks into authentication and other security systems are a given.
Information access vendors are also seeking better ways to represent information once it is retrieved. This could involve summaries, as with Endeca, tabbed searches of narrow applications and data stores, which Google already offers to enterprise customers, or even visual representations that show how data is linked across applications.
When we succeed in making search as valuable to business as it is to the web, well change how people work, said Glozbach. Youll see search driving data sharing, collaboration, and any number of new processes and technologies.

by Jeremy Kirk
September 12, 2011
A star-studded disaster movie, Steven Soderbergh's Contagion is more Robert Altman than Irwin Allen, more paranoia and societal breaking point than beautiful people dealing directly with the natural calamity at hand. At times chillingly quiet instead of edge-of-your seat intense, it sends a cool rush of air through the audience, and though it coasts to a subdued, almost dissatisfying, conclusion and splits off varying strands of disconnected lines of plot, some unneeded, others forgotten along the way, Contagion ends up an intriguing real-world look at what might happen if we're confronted with a worldwide epidemic.
Soderbergh's film may have benefited from the director pumping up the suspense level - the film's scariest aspect is the stray tooth Jude Law is sporting up front - but the character pieces are still for the most part present and confidently executed. It all begins with Gwyneth Paltrow. Doesn't everything, though? A businesswoman traveling from Hong Kong to her home and family in Minneapolis, she has contracted a strange virus, one with flu-like symptoms that clenches onto her immune system and kills her mere days after first exposure. While her husband, played by Matt Damon, deals with what has happened to her, more and more outbreaks of this virus pop up around the world. Soon, a CDC investigation lead by two doctors, Laurence Fishburne and Kate Winslet, is mounted as to what has caused the virus and how they can thwart it before it becomes an out-of-control pandemic.
For the most part, Soderbergh bounces between stories around the world with graceful editing, never jarring you from one moment to the next. In the early moments of the film, Marion Cotillard's character of a member of the World Health Organization in Geneva is handled with as much assuredness as Damon's mourning husband and father trying to save his daughter from the potential outbreak. The early moments, probably the first half, of Contagion plays like a Michael Crichton novel complete with medical and scientific terminology, analogous exposition to help the audience keep up with how serious this disease is, and interesting characters from every aspect of this event.
However, once Contagion goes from being about a worldwide epidemic to the way the world falls apart once such a things strikes it, it begins to coast, running through certain motions without the build that has come before. Some characters disappear completely. Others vanish for long stretches at a time. While some of the in between may not be necessary to show us, it's certainly noticeable when we haven't seen certain characters in a while. Contagion loses its sense of tight editing and attention grabbing, and instead lets some of the loose strands simply flail about unobserved.
Soderbergh has never been a director who instills much emotion into his directorial efforts, either, gifted as he may be. And while melodrama injected into a disaster movie causes it to lean more towards those Irwin Allen movies of the 1970s, an ounce of sentiment in more than a few of the story strands here would have help tremendously. When Damon's husband realizes his wife has died, there's hardly a moment of emotion there. Granted, he's in shock and is hit with another shocking moment just seconds later, but an instance of reflection couldn't have hurt. What we have now to feed off of are Jude Law's impassioned cries that the government is lying to us and one character's final moment where their last act is one of charity.
Instead, Soderbergh piles on the paranoia, the long, cold shots of surfaces the sick have come in contact with, a glass of water someone has drank from. It's all there to make even the most care-free of moviegoers think twice about touching their face - evidently, we do this three to five times every waking minutes, so good lock dealing with that information. For the most part, it works. You certainly think twice about utilizing the five second rule or even using a public restroom after watching Contagion, and the film ends up coming off like it's trying to make interacting with anyone anywhere at any time what Psycho did for showers.
That star-studded cast mentioned earlier gives it their all, though. No one drops the ball in terms of acting, particularly Damon who always brings his A game especially when working with Soderbergh. However, of all the notable actors and actresses in Contagion, it's Jennifer Ehle as a CDC doctor who shines brightest, handling very bit of sincerity in her character without effort and matching it with her own.
Of course, decent enough as Contagion is in its overall execution, the final moments are by far the worst of the film. Without giving too much away, Soderbergh feels the need to hold his audience's hand, how us the catalyst of this epidemic we had pretty much already pieced together for ourselves. While much of the exposition in Contagion is handled smoothly and unnoticed, the final three minutes are an exercise in how not to deliver information.
However, as needlessly explanatory the end of the film is, Contagion ultimately stands as rather successful look of the paranoia, the absolute fear, and the shock of a world that is hit with something it cannot control. The virus at the center of Contagion is scarier than any movie monster, completely invisible and with the ability to strike anyone at any time without compassion. Could Contagion have been scarier? Yes. Could it have been more emotionally impactful? Definitely. But what Steven Soderbergh has given us is a look at the way it could be, probably will be, and the question is drilled into our head as to who we would handle such a moment in time.
