Failure of progression to duodenum within 3 days
Procedure: placement of spiral nasojejunal tube
spiral nasojejunal tube will be placed after enrollment of the patients
Detailed Description:
Nutrition support is important in brain injured patients. Several studies have shown that small bowel feeding compared with gastric feeding may be associated with a reduction in pneumonia in critically ill patients. The Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines recommended that small bowel feedings should be considered for patients at high risk for intolerance to enteral nutrition.
There are several methods to place postpyloric tube, but there is a high success rate with endoscopic or radiological assistance. However, they are time consuming procedures, which is of limited availability at bedside and requires trained staff.
Nasojejunal tube with spiral end (Flocare Bengmark NJ tube) has been used for bedside placement for 10 years. But only limited data are available for success rate, especially in brain injured patients. The aim of this study is to access the success rate and influencing factors of spiral end nasojejunal tube in such a population.

Milcon Cut Proposed in Austere 2012 DOD Budget
- February 15, 2011
- comments:0
Spending on military construction, family housing, BRAC and related programs would fall $2.6 billion, compared to current spending levels, under the fiscal 2012 budget request released Monday by the Pentagon. Much of the decline, $1.9 billion, is the result BRAC 2005 implementation concluding, but military construction for active and reserve components still would absorb a $485 million reduction under President Obama's request.
The large drop-off in the request for BRAC 2005 — from the current spending level of $2.2 billion to $259 million — was expected with the military slated to finish carrying out the recommendations by Sept. 15. The FY 2012 funding primarily would go toward cleaning up closed bases. Spending on cleanup at sites closed under the first four rounds would decline $36 million to $324 million under the request.
Spending on military construction programs would drop from $12.6 to $12.1 billion in FY 2012, with funding for family housing programs falling from $1.8 billion to $1.7 billion.
When compared to the allocation in FY 2010, the last year with an enacted spending bill, the prospective drop in funding for milcon programs is more significant. Spending on military construction, family housing, BRAC and related programs in that year was $23.3 billion, $8.5 billion more than the $14.8 billion FY 2012 request. To be sure, BRAC 2005 spending would account for $7.2 billion of the decline over that period, under the president's request.
Overall, the president's request for the Pentagon would provide a small jump in 2012, from a current spending level of $526 billion to $553 billion. Starting in FY 2013, though, budget increases would become much stingier, climbing only 1.0 percent in that year, 0.5 percent in FY 2014, and remain almost flat over the next two years. (Editor's note: For comparisons in this story, last week's House proposal to provide funding for the remainder of FY 2011 is used as the current spending level.)
Funding for the Office of Economic Adjustment fares well under the 2012 proposal. The office would receive $81.8 million, compared to $50.8 million in the current year.
The budget request would support Obama's initiative announced last month to support military families, recommending $8.3 billion for child care and youth programs, community support activities, family support centers, spouse employment and DOD schools. The 2012 request includes $550 million to replace or modernize 15 schools.
What about 2011?
Defense Secretary Robert Gates devoted much of his press briefing on the budget request to the need for Congress to pass an FY 2011 spending bill for the department. DOD would need to cope with a $23 billion cut in 2011 spending — from the president's $549 billion request made one year ago — if it is forced to continue operating under a continuing resolution for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The reduction would be magnified as it comes five months into the fiscal year, Gates said. As a result of policy changes that led to lower personnel costs and reduced activity stemming from the continuing resolution, the department could get by with $540 billion in 2011, he said.
DOD Comptroller Robert Hale highlighted the challenges posed when the military is forced to operate under a continuing resolution. About 50 major milcon projects have been delayed beyond their projected award dates, including a vehicle maintenance shop at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.; a maintenance hangar for unmanned air systems at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M.; training barracks at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.; and an enlisted dormitory at McGuire AFB, N.J.
"These cause our mission to suffer," Hale said.

Bharat Ratna recipient Tendulkar vows to give people of India a reason to smile
Expressing delight on being conferred with the country's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, cricketer Sachin Tendulkar on Tuesday dedicated the award to his mother Rajni Tendulkar and also vowed to give the people of India a reason to smile for all the years of love and support they had given him.
"It's the biggest honour for me and I am extremely delighted on receiving Bharat Ratna. I want to dedicate this recognition, this award to my mother and to mothers all other the India who sacrificed their wishes and aspiration for their children so that the children's dream can come true," Sachin told media here today.
"I am extremely proud to be born in this beautiful nation and I would like to express my gratitude for all the love, affection and support that I have received for number of years," he added.
Sachin also said that he will continue to bat for India and try his best to give the people of India a reason to smile.
Congratulating eminent scientist Prof. C.N.R. Rao, who was also conferred with the Bharat Ratna here today, Sachin said, "I would also like to congratulate Prof. C.N.R. Rao for the Bharat Ratna. He has been instrumental in inspiring and motivating the youth of India to become scientist. I wish him all the happiness and good health."
Earlier today, Sachin and Prof Rao were conferred with the Bharat Ratna by President Pranab Mukherjee at a function.
The honour was conferred in the presence of Vice President Mohammad Hamid Ansari, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi, family members and a host of other dignitaries from various walks of life.
Tendulkar, who retired from international cricket on November 16 last year, is the first sportsman to receive the country's highest civilian honour.
His 34,000-plus international runs and countless batting records suggest the 'Little Master' more than lived up to those expectations.
He leaved the game after playing more test matches (200), scoring the most test (15,921) and one-day international (18,426) runs, and compiling more test (51) and one-day (49) hundreds than any other player in cricket history.
Prof. Rao is an eminent scientist and a well-recognized international authority on solid state and materials chemistry. He has published over 1,400 research papers and 45 books.
Prof. Rao's contributions have been recognized by most major scientific academies around the world through conferment of memberships and fellowships.
He has been honoured with several national and international awards.

IC Directors' Meeting Highlights
August 3, 2001
|IC Directors
|Director, Executive Secretariat
|IC Directors Meeting Highlights—June 14, 2001
Dr. Kirschstein opened the meeting by asking that e-mails which the IC Directors receive regarding mifepristone be forwarded to the Exec Sec1 mailbox.
I. Update on Sequencing the Mouse Genome (slides attached)
Dr. Collins reported that by the end of March 2001, the six-month whole genome shot gun (WGS) approach effort to develop 3X coverage of the DNA of the black 6 mouse strain had resulted in data representing 95 percent of the full DNA complement. Stating that the approach had worked well, he observed that the 58-million-dollar project could not have succeeded without the cooperation of all members of the public-private Mouse Sequencing Consortium which supported the sequencing work at the Whitehead Institute, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and the Sanger Centre. This information is available for non-restricted use through the National Center for Biotechnology Information and several other Web sites.
Dr. Klausner then discussed what these new mouse data actually mean to the scientific community and how they might be used. He stressed that it is important to clarify the value of the data from this accelerated effort versus their limitations as well as what we ultimately hope to achieve from the project. Dr. Klausner stressed that such an evaluation of the utility of the different levels of coverage is critical to decisions on how best to use available funds. Using the MET oncogene as an example, he concluded that while the 3X approach is useful in providing pointers to exons, a 10X approach will be critical to actually finding out more about the exons and the regulatory features. He also noted that the 3X approach provides limited information in non-exonic sequences so a 10X approach is essential.
During the discussion that followed regarding the slide comparing the 3X WGS draft and the 10X BAC-Based full shot gun approach, Dr. Collins mentioned the Web address of the Human Genome Project Working Draft at UCSC: http://genome.ucsc.edu.
Dr. Collins argued that while using the draft 3X mouse sequence is challenging, a researcher can find much that is usable, especially in exon annotation and homolog identification. He concluded that this is good information, but we should not stop here.
Attendees then focused on three possible models for a trans-NIH funding effort for a 10X full shot gun sequencing as opposed to three approaches involving only NHGRI funds. An additional $30 million in FYs 02 and 03 ($15 million each year) would speed up the current NHGRI time line for a 10X sequence by more than a year. Noting that, in the bigger picture, $30 million is certainly reasonable, Dr. Kirschstein concluded by saying that thus far the effort has been voluntary and she wants it to continue that way.
II. Information Items
Dr. Kirschstein noted the following:
- Soon she is sending the FY 03 budget proposal, which includes large increases, to the Office of the Secretary. Because we are all urging a smoothing and flattening in FY 04, it is critical that we justify this increase adequately. She asked the Directors to furnish grant-related data to help prepare this justification.
- She needs to be informed of any unexpected events, whether good or bad, as soon as possible so that she can alert the Secretary before he finds out about them through the media or otherwise. She cited how she was able to inform the Secretary about the death of a volunteer research participant in an NIH-funded study at Johns Hopkins and how much he appreciated learning of this very sad event from us directly.
- She wants ideas for the August visit of the Secretary that will provide opportunities to see laboratory as well as clinical and information technology activities. She stressed that this is an excellent opportunity to show the Secretary how science is conducted.
- The agenda for the June 25 Budget Retreat will include FARB recommendations for Fys 02 and 03; scientific discussions by Drs. Klausner, Collins, and Hodes; and a discussion of the disease-reporting issue led by Drs. Maddox and Baldwin.

Vegetation Control
Removal of overgrown vegetation is very important. A range of mowing and other mechanical removal equipment is utilized to maintain a desirable vegetation height on banks, ditches and swale bottoms. EPA approved herbicides are also applied to control undesirable and nuisance vegetation.
Vegetation control in a stormwater system is vital to keep the system operating as designed. DBI Services offers a wide variety of methods to control the vegetation in the systems from mowing to chemical control. DBI Services can customize a vegetation control plan for any stormwater sytem based on design and regulatory requirements.

confused...the video shows that dude doing squat cleans but the wod says cleans. I took that to mean power cleans. Which one is it? Thx.
Travis Holley and Lance Cantu rocking it! Well done!
This is one of my most fav workouts bring it girl!
Perfect timing! Love this WoD.
OMG he's shirtless. How dare Crossfit offend me with this pornography, my priest, nuns, mom, grandma, and kids come on this site when i refer them. How unprofessional Crossfit I cannot believe you would post such a picture. Now I must stop doing the daily WOD's because of this. If my clients see this what am I supposed to say. Thanks a lot Crossfit.
cleans means cleans and cleans include catching the bar in a full squat. the term "squat clean" is a bit redundant, but sometimes given to clear up ambiguity.
#five chris...seriously dude...still...
The way I see it is that a clean is a clean. It can be a squat clean, a power clean, a split clean or a muscle clean. It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to be a clean.
straight from the FAQ: "Squat clean aka Full Clean aka Clean = start from the floor, catch in a full squat. "
Do any type of clean it depends on which type of intensity and metabolic response you wanna have.... hope it helps:P
MURPH came up a week or two ago... inspired, i ordered the book about operation Red Wing "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell
All i can say is it was INSPIRING... next time Murph comes around, watch out!
#5. christopher. turn the page friend...let it go
#2... refer to Exercises & Demo -> link to CLEAN video
Clean & Jerk [wmv][mov] Clean [wmv][mov]
#6 and #9 are correct. No need for the sometimes used terms of "Full Clean" or "Squat Clean." Those are overboard and only serve to create more confusion when the proper term is "Clean."
Clean - from floor, throught all 3 pulls, catch in any postion/height as long as you end up squating to full depth (A2A), stand up. Load determines height of catch. Light load = catching higher. Big Load = catching in squat.
There is NO other way to perform a "Clean".
You can, however vary it with a "Hang" which denotes starting position, or "Power" which denotes finishing position, and combos of those.
Please check USAW guidelines/definitions prior to claiming otherwise.
Jeff @ work
No dropping the bar
Great to see the Pastorek video. Still darn fast to me but he comes across, well, as closer to human. It feels good to see someone else struggle to do those ring dips one... at... a... freaking... time...
Of course he is still awesome, I know I can't (yet) clean 135# for that number of reps in one WOD.
Will probably scale this to 95 or 105# and see how it goes.
Only thing I have to say is that Everett's times have been up on the main site regularly lately. I say contender at the games and I would love to see some videos. I like him, seems like a nice guy, keeps his shirt on too !
kristan clever if you are reading this: post your wod vids please..i enjoy watching you in beast mode.
I thought they were ring dips, not ring humps. I don't care if this guy is in great shape. Do the dips chief.
#5 Chris - The joke got old a long time ago dude... You can chill out now
holy rip dips travis!!!
Josh Everett is Killin WOD's!!!
Evening. We've not talked any about nutrition this month because Tony has been hogging the Rest Days. Tonight I had salmon, crab, and some veggies. Lots of olive oil. I also had Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc (trust me on this one). We may or may not get a chance to talk nutrition, but you can call my meal tonight "paleo enough" on "measured Primal Zone with a smile."
So..."Elizabeth"! One of our "girls", our benchmark WOD's. Crossfit is a company that is very well represented at all levels of management by women. We name our benchmarks for them kinda like we used to name hurricanes. "Elizabeth" is fun and cool and brings up all kinds of Crossfit stuff, and she seems to come up every January, too.
A couplet, just like Tony discussed yesterday, the coolest bestest kind of CF WOD. 135# Cleans (wait for it...)/ring dips, each done 21-15-9. Hit start on your stop watch, then21 cleans, then 21 ring dips, then 15 cleans, then 15 ring dips, then 9 cleans, then 9 ring dips, then hit stop on your watch. Pant. Flop. Maybe puke. "Elizabeth" .
What is a "clean"? We go through this every....single...time. Seriously. A Crossfit "clean" is exactly as follows: loaded bar on the ground; clean the bar to the front rack position and catch it IN A FULL SQUAT (like Vasily Alexiev in the Olympics) and then stand up. One. There are lots of different types of cleans, all of which are very accurately labelled. "Hang clean"--start with the bar already lifted off the ground at thigh level, clean to front rack and catch in full squat. "Power clean"--start with weight on the floor and catch in the front rack position in no more than a 1/4 squat. "Hang Power clean"--start in the hang position and clean the weight to the front rack position with the catch in no more than a 1/4 clean.
All viable, useful lifts, but only the CLEAN, the full squat clean from the floor is "as Rx'd" for Elizabeth. You can do whatever version you wish, but as Lynne says, if it's not a clean it's not "Elizabeth". Look up Greg Amundsen in the Exercises and Demos doing both "Elizabeth" and "Power Elizabeth". Good stuff.
How about that 135#? Well, what about it? When you look at that number what do you think? Is that not really much of a challenge? Cool...go as Rx'd. Is that your BW, or pretty much your 1 rep max? Pretty silly to do THAT 45 times, eh? Scale the weight to something manageable. Would you like this to be a strength, or strength-endurance WOD rather than a full-out met-con? Brilliant! Cut the reps and up the weight. How about 15-12-9, or 12-9-6? As Rx'd or even go UP on weight.
Ring dips are hard. No two ways about it. Go ahead and kip 'em. Scale them by putting a foot on a stool. The sub is 3 bar dips for each ring dip. That would be 63-45-27 for you math majors. This is really a CF sprint, so think about our sub in light of the fact that the Rock Stars will do this in 3:00 or so.
You're a Newbie, right? Yes. Right. Otherwise you would never suffer through all of this palaver (google it). Here's a little history and a little safety perspective from Jeff Martin of Brand X, every Newbie's best friend:
"Originally Elizabeth and Grace were power cleans. Isabel was a Power snatch. I submit as proof the CF DVD produced in 2004. Which labels Elizabeth as Cleans and Greg does Hang Power Cleans. Grace is a race between Dave Leys and Greg and is power clean and jerk. I also submit that in January of '04 I called CF, never having been to a CF cert. Lauren answered the phone. I asked her what kind of clean it was and she told me power clean. I would argue that the inclusion of Burg has morphed this to a squat clean, but it is not the original workout.
More importantly I think is the idea that for a newbie to do a full squat clean with a pull from the floor, with suspect form, under high load is a poor choice. If your deadlift form isn't good, they should do the hang version. The full clean version should be done by people who have good clean form and impeccable front squats. Ballistically catching a load, when tired, in a poor front squat is a sure fire recipe for injury."
Jeff Martin is verrrry smart. "Elizabeth" is the benchmark WOD that reverted to the core CF definition of the exercise at hand, as compared with "Grace", the exception that proves the rule, which has evolved into "30 reps 135# ground to overhead any way." Regardless, you are STILL a Newbie, and your first priority is always, ALWAYS to scale for safety right now. Think about what Jeff has to say.
Now, where did that bottle of wine get to. Ah well. 3-2-1...Go.
Hey, you'll never guess what happened to the Newbie post.
bad ROM on the ring dips but still good job on the cleans.
So is it official Crossfit policy that "cleans" are squat-cleans?
Overheard on a Japanese city bus this week during the evening commute(seriously):
-First guy- "Hey, you know how they have 'Chinatown' and 'Japantown' in America? I wonder if there's an 'Americatown' in Japan?"
-His buddy- "Yeah, with hamburgers and pizza and obese people!"
you gotta laugh at that
I use both bars and rings on a regular basis. There is no way that 3 bar dips = 1 ring dip. Once you get past the initial "shakiness" of the rings, they feel almost identical to me(and I always do mine strict). Maybe the reason why some people feel using bars are easier is because it may be a little easier to kip on a stable surface? Who knows
At #29 David T -- wouldn't you agree that the high ratio sub...in this case "3 bar dips = 1 ring dip" helps to motivate people to learn to do the RX excercise/skill sooner so that they no longer have to do the sub? Assuming lack of equipment isn't the issue...I know it spurred me on.

"I don't understand that anti-soldier mentality....these people are fighting for our freedom." ~Tony Budding
My guess is that what you perceive as "anti-soldier" is actually anti-war. And I would argue that anti-war is a pro-soldier mentality.
Last time I checked, our wars and our occupation in the middle-east are doing a number of things, the most of which are negative:
Firstly, at home, we are racking up a national debt, which everyone seems to be concerned about, but which no one links to our bloated "offense budget" of over a trillion dollars a year.
Secondly, with every innocent bystander we kill in our occupation of foreign lands, we further alienate and radicalize the native population, which fuels the very ideals which threaten life.
Thirdly, the more time we spend trying to "fight for freedom"--whatever that means-- the more soldiers die defending an abstract ideal.
And last of all, last time I checked, it was politicians at home who were taking away my civil liberties and freedoms, here at home, in the name of national security. And it is them who send young Americans to fight and shed blood for imperialism and neo-colonialism, under the guise of "fighting for freedom."
For all, wiith love,

Hello everyone,
I just start doing crossfit about month ago ideally like the work out. But all my friend telling if I want put some muscles I should stop doing crossfit!!! I am slam guy but I would like to put some muscle on my body. Does the crossfit will help or I should just lift weights? Please need some advise if anyone knows.

Pete... I've been doing crossfit for nearly two years now and I've found that of all the different training I've done in my varied athletic past, crossfit has packed on the most muscle on my frame...and that's coming from a middle aged Mom. (probably not the testimonial you're after)

I have always been a smaller guy and though I am the smallest guy on my team, I am expected to pull my own weight.
After recovering from a broken hand, I started doing Crossfit last October. Over the past few months, My fitness level has greatly improved. I have put on just over ten pounds, but can see my abs for the first time in ten years. I have increased my deadlift PR by over 100#. And for the non-crossfitters, I've upped my bench press max to 265#. (funny thing is...I don't really care about my bench press max anymore.)
In my limited Crossfit experience, I have already lowered my body-fat, added muscle, got significantly stronger, bettered my cardio, and generally improved my fitness all around.
If you want to be a meathead then maybe do something else, but as a SWAT guy that has worked out and trained for years, I am completely sold on Crossfit!!
And as for pulling my own weight, I can now pull the weight of the biggest guys on the team.

If you think we haven't been attacked since 9/11 because of the wars we are waging over seas, you are deluded.
Furthermore, more innocent men, women and children have died, and will die, because of our blind, uncritical, love-of-country-stance--many times more than those which perished at ground zero. How many more orphans will we produce in the name of abstract ideals, and what will become of those orphans when they are old enough to hold an AK-47?
Moreover, the kinds of attacks that have been thwarted have been perpetrated by those we are radicalizing here, in the "homeland," by our actions abroad (Hitler used the word Heimat, which means homeland, to mobilize his countrymen).
Oh, and we have been attacked--Fort Hood ring a bell? Lumber Jack 20? How does the shooting in Arizona jive with your world-view?
This is me, supporting humanity, 100%, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. May the Lord have mercy on us all.

This string is probably done, but felt compelled to post a belated reply to Espinosa.
Your position smacks of appeasement and isolationism. Those policies are proven failures. They failed to prevent WWII, and it would be delusional to think we could withdraw our troops and unilaterally declare peace with terrorists. Unilateral peace is just surrender.
This terrorism didn't begin and won't end with our troops being in Iraq or Afghaniston. The US and its allies could completely withdraw tomorrow, and Islamist radicals would continue teaching the same radical ideas that have existed for centuries. They will continue to attack whoever is and wherever there exists a threat to their radical beliefs.
They don't hate us for our policies. They hate us for our "abstract ideals". They hate us because we believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all. That all men and women are created equal in the eyes of God. They hate us because we believe in freedom of thought and speech and the freedom to practice or not practice whatever religion you choose. They hate the things that freedom creates like MTV, unrestricted speech on the internet, and even Crossfit, with all of its immodestly clothed, strong, independent, educated women working out together with men. They hate us for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit or whatever else you believe that disagrees with what they think. This fundamental belief in freedom was radical two hundred some years ago, and remains a radical threat in many countries of the world where oppression exists.
As long as we continue to believe in these "abstract ideas", we are and will forever be a target and will be hated by many. My love of country is not blind or uncritical, but it is unshaken regardless of our imperfections and I will always, always honor the men and women who stand a watch at the risk of death to protect you and me and our children. And when radicals wage active war on our country, and threaten our homes and our families; then our country has no option but to grant them their wish until such time as they are willing to choose peace.

Well we had lots of folks come out for this one at lunch.
Two O6's new to xfit, they focused on form and did medicine ball squats and
ring dips, sometimes on normal dip bar, sometime on rings. All in all a good
effort learning new skills and practicing them. Good call on the scaling for
those folks Col and LT Abi.
From the more experienced folks we had some good efforts.
Amy was rocking her good form with 55 pounds. Kept working through the dips
with some assist, finished with a time around 9:30 or so. Solid form and fast
elbows, great depth.
LT Abi Dryden was flat out working hard, even with her great dislike for dips.
Using the female wt of 95 lbs, she pushed through the sqt cleans, kept moving
on the dips with a band. All in all a great time at 9.55 (better than 11:25
by Katie Hogan on the main site). Strong form the whole way, with a little bit
of attitude towards the end. That is good stuff right there.
Col Looney- well he gets full credit for bringing extra folks with him and
completing the workout in something like 7:30 or something. Now a reasonable
person might ask how in the world did he crush the workout with a
7:30...well...we had a little bit of scaling going on here. He was power
cleaning, which looked awfully easy for him the whole way, though he was
working, it was a little like the "lollipop" line he used on LT Abi, too easy.
There were also unconfirmed rumors that he was using the band for help on the
dips too, though there was no pictures of this, but what the hell, when you
commit to scaling, might as well go all the way. His effort was good, but
after 7 reps of sqt cleans he simply gave up the ghost and went to power
cleans. I am sure in the future the good Col will leverage up to his normally
high USMC standards, but this time he spit the bit.
CDR Anderson: well let's just say this is not his favorite workout.
1st time Dec 2008=11:20 doing power cleans in Iraq
2nd iteration, 29 Jan 09= 13:41 in Iraq doing sqt cleans for the first time.
3rd iteration, 20 No 09= skipped the 15 sqt cleans round due to clicking
knee, did the 9 and all the dips: 10:20.
The next two times this WOD came up...didn't even try it due to previous
issues and just a little scared of it.
So made another run at it today.
Sqt Cleans 11-5-5 Dips- 21, sqt clean 5-5-4-1, dips 15, sqt clean 3-3-1-1-1,
dips 9.
Lots of resting in between sets of sqt cleans. Form was the best it has been
on this workout, too many folks watching to use bad form, finished in 10:07.
New PR, however surely he could have found 8 seconds somewhere...oh well.
All in all a great day all around. Good form, good times, solid efforts, and
one unnecessary scaler, but that's ok, I am sure the good Col will do better
next time.

Black Cabbage Soup
Ribollita is a classic Tuscan soup. The word means to reboil as in make this soup one day and reheat it the next. The key ingredients are fresh or dried cannellini beans and cavolo nero or black cabbage with sturdy dark green elongated leaves. Use kale in place of cavolo nero. This hearty soup is usually served over slices of thick toasted bread.
Begin the process by soaking the dried beans overnight. I like to add the salt and pepper after the soup is cooked. I also like to add Parmesan cheese rinds to the soup as it cooks, but this is optional.
1 cup dried white beans
2 tablespoons Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 large sprig fresh rosemary
1 medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon fresh chili pepper, diced
4 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 small zucchini, diced
1 pound kale, stemmed, washed and torn into pieces
6 plum tomatoes, diced
6 cups hot water
1/2 pound green beans cut into thirds
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon salt
Grinding black pepper
8 slices toasted bread
Put the beans in a bowl and cover them with 3 cups of cold water. Allow them to stand overnight. The following day drain the beans and transfer them to a 2-quart pot. Cover the beans with 6 cups of water and cook them for about 45 minutes or until tender. Drain the beans. Puree half of them and set all the beans aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot. Add the rosemary, onion, chili pepper, carrots, and celery. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the potatoes, zucchini, kale, and tomatoes. Cook 2 minutes. Stir in the whole beans.
Pour in the water and the pureed beans and stir all the ingredients well. Add the cheese rind if you have one. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 25 minutes. Uncover the pot, stir in the green beans and cook 5 more minutes.
Stir in the celery salt, salt, and pepper. Taste for seasoning.
Toast the bread slices then place one in each of 8 soup bowls. Ladle the soup over the bread and serve. Pass additional olive oil to drizzle on top.

A direct replacement neck for Stratocaster guitars.
The Mighty Mite MM2925 Stratocaster replacement neck is constructed of bird's eye maple with a maple fingerboard fitted with 22 jumbo frets. The guitar neck has been given an oil-based finish.
Since the 1970's Mighty Mite has manufactured custom and replacement guitar parts for luthiers, repairmen, and guitarists who can't wait to hot-rod their Fender Stratocaster or similar style guitar.

Comments about Mighty Mite MM2925 Bird's Eye Stratocaster Replacement Neck with Maple Fingerboard and Jumbo Frets:
Slapped this bad boy on an old squire body I had sanded down and painted. The birdseye maple looks just plain gorgeous. You'll have to let the neck set in for a day or two after you put the strings on, and then adjust the truss rod a little bit, but it takes next to no work to do. Very easy to install and fit perfectly. I'm about to get another one with an ebony fretboard and do the same thing to two more squire bodies I have. Very impressed.

Comments about Mighty Mite MM2925 Bird's Eye Stratocaster Replacement Neck with Maple Fingerboard and Jumbo Frets:
Beautiful Birds Eye Maple neck. Requires a small amount of prep work and you're ready to play. This is my 2nd Mighty Mite neck, and unlike a previous review, there is no way either neck I received needed a fretjob or polish - jumbo frets were shiny and rounded just like they should be. Yes, the neck needs holes drilled for tuners and for mounting to the body, but this is to be expected - Mfg has no way of knowing your guitar's set up.
Here's what I did to get a great set up:
1. Filed down the fret edges with fine grit (600) sandpaper
2. Applied 3-4 coats of Tung Oil to entire neck. (comes with an "oil" finish, but for me it was nowhere near enough and this is the only reason I gave the neck a 4 instead of a 5).
Apply one coat at a time, and keep it very fine (polish it in with a soft cloth) - brings out the grain of the wood nicely. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly in between applications.
3. Drill small holes for mounting tuners (I installed Fender Locking tuners).
4. Drill mounting holes in neck base.
5. Attach to body with screws provided - drop some wax on screws before mounting, and be sure to drill your pilot holes a little smaller than screw width.
After some adjustments to Action and intonation, the neck played great - truss rod needed no adjustmnt whatsover and intonation was nearly spot on (of course I'd preadjusted to a previous neck)
I also installed a Fender LSR Rolling nut, but not neceaary as neck comes with an installed nut. I just like the rolling nuts for keeping Strats in tune.
Comments about Mighty Mite MM2925 Bird's Eye Stratocaster Replacement Neck with Maple Fingerboard and Jumbo Frets:
The strat sounds more spankier than before while intonation did not need recalibration. Guitar stays in tune for long time.
Great finish, smooth jumbo frets slides like butter and nice birds eye maple swirls. Slapped it on an American Lonestar strat sienna burst and it was rocking in 15 minutes. actually looked and played better than the stock rosewood neck.
Great construction but nit picking, I wished it had a fatter neck towards the end where it joins the body.
Reasonably priced
Comments about Mighty Mite MM2925 Bird's Eye Stratocaster Replacement Neck with Maple Fingerboard and Jumbo Frets:
My goal was to have a maple necked surf green strat with Seymour Duncan Hot, Cool and Vintage rails pick guard. This is the maple neck part of that goal. This neck exceeded my beauty expectaions. I began with a Squire Vintage Modified Surf Green strat and took that and this neck to my local Guitar Center garage in Tacoma for Ron to attach the neck. While Ron did his most excellent work, I built the SD Rails pick guard. Here is a pic of the guitar after Ron's work with the MM2925 neck:
I would say that came out pretty good! Then here is a picture of the guitar after I swapped out the pick guards:
The guitar plays and sounds as good as any American Standard I own. There are many like it but this one is mine.
See the green in the dots and how the body reflects that. More beautiful in real life, the entire neck looks that way, glimmering green dots...
10mm or 3/8" tuning holes for the modern standard tuning machine of your choice. Real mother of pearl and abolone dot inlays that just glimmer, if they're not real, they look real, looking far better than clay dots. Stainless steel frets that after a crown, level and polish look outstanding.
Most people don't know this product is about 90% finished. The final holes for tuning machines are missing, it is missing pilot holes for the tail to body, frets REQUIRE a crown, level, polish and edge smoothing. The product is supposed to come this way. Do not think you can just buy this neck, bolt it to your strat and have a new smoking axe, a lot of work is involved with this change to your guitar. All that said, this is an outstanding neck providing you add the necessary elbow greese and skill or luthier services required to finally get it attached to your guitar.
Corian nut, birds eye maple neck with oil finish, birds eye maple finger board with mother of pearl and abolone inlays for a hundred bucks! Adding a neck of this quality as a requirement to any strat would easily add a 1000 dollars to the retail cost of that strat. Based on that, this is a smoking deal.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

More and more fans are predicting Marquez to stop Pacquiao
More and more fans are predicting Marquez to stop Pacquiao. He's preparing himself for a loss by not taking JMM seriously, i.e postponing camp, not following Ariza's strength/conditioning and frankly, hes not hungry/doesnt look like he cares about the sport anymore. The only reason he took this fight is because it paid better than a Bradley rematch and he wouldnt challenge himself to go up to 150 to face Cotto in the first offer or 154 in the second offer. Im just not seeing the hunger and dedication like before.
On the other hand, JMM is training like a monster and doing all that he can to assure this fight doesnt go the distance and prove once and for all that he is a superior fighter. He's mentally and physically prepared for war. Pacquiao being more aggressive will not help him. Being aggressive against the more physically strong, superb-counter punching JMM will be like driving into a brick wall.
After rewatching how aggressive Marquez was in the 3rd fight, sitting down on all his perfectly placed shots, i dont see how a less serious version of Pac vs a more determined Marquez will get the nod. Pac will play right into the hands of JMM and lose an extremely one-sided fight, and possibly get dropped by a body shot, and finished in the process..
Below is a link to the ban bet for this fight. I dont expect the real Pac fans to grow a pair and show up and bet since JMM whooped pikachus ass 3x already. Good thing El Dinamita will drop Pac with a body shot and finish him by Rd 7.

The concert is a production of the St. James Episcopal Church Concert Series through a grant from the McCormick-Smith Fund. The concert is sold out. Joshua Zona will conduct the combined orchestra and choir. The program is Handel's Messiah.
"We are pleased to have this opportunity to perform with the Rapides Symphony and Red River Chorale," said Dr. Burt Allen, director of choral activities at Northwestern State. "It is a nice outreach opportunity for us as well as a chance for our students to get to know a number of people who are professional musicians or people for whom music is their number one avocation."
Allen directs both the Chamber Choir and the Red River Chorale.
"The Chamber Choir performed parts two and three of Messiah three weeks ago and did extremely well," said Allen. "This concert will be a treat for the audience."

Heidi Montag, Hills Costar Jen Bunney Still Hang Out -- See What They Look Like Now
More than three years since their "lives" stopped airing on MTV's The Hills, Heidi Montag and Jen Bunney are still pals. And on Oct. 23, Bunney posted the picture to prove it.
"Having fun :) @heidipratt," Bunney captioned the picture with her blond gal pal.
PHOTOS: The Hills stars, then and now
Montag, who famously underwent 10 plastic surgery procedures in a single day, looks happier and healthier than we've seen her in years. Wearing little to no makeup, Montag looks young and natural in the shot. The star has since admitted she took her surgeries too far.
Bunney appeared in several episodes of Laguna Beach as Lauren Conrad's close friend before transitioning to a supporting, occasional role on The Hills. She was friends with both Conrad and Montag, both 27, until the introduction of Montag's boyfriend Spencer Pratt.

Pratt's presence caused a serious rift between Conrad and Montag on the show, and Bunney was seemingly thrown into the middle of it during Season 2 of The Hills, when the show aired scenes from her 21st birthday.

Conrad blasted Bunney for "hooking up" with her ex Brody Jenner, and after a series of awkward apologies, the two ended their friendship. But Montag and Bunney were able to remain friends both on the show and long after the cameras stopped rolling in 2010.
Montag and Pratt eloped on Season 4 of the MTV reality series, and had an elaborate ceremony that Conrad surprisingly attended at the mid-season finale of Season 5. They are still together and currently working on their latest attention-grabbing project, SpeidiShow -- a fake reality show meant to offer fans an interactive platform into their lives.

Bunney is current pursuing her Masters in public health, epidemiology, and global healthcare policy at the University of California, Berkeley. She got engaged to longtime boyfriend Taylor Dunphy in June 2013.

December 2008
Board of Regents Approves Two Policy Sets
At its meeting on December 11, the Board of Regents approved two policy packages. The first contains a new policy titled Donor Prospect Clearance, which allows for a coordinated approach, through Alumni Affairs and Development, to the University's relationship with donor prospects.
The second policy package included three policies relating to travel associated with recruitment of new employees:
Travel - Pre-Employment Interview
Travel - Famialization Visit
Travel - Removal and Relocation
These three replace the former Travel - Prospective Employee Interview and Household Removal and Relocation and are intended to give greater flexibility to deans and directors, in this highly competitive climate.
All policies approved at the December 11 meeting have been posted to the University's policy website at www.mun.ca/policy and come into effect immediately. The associated Implementation and Communications plans will be executed in the coming months.
Other Board Policy Work
At its meeting on November 25, the Policy Oversight Committee of the Board approved two Proposals for policy development:
Computer Systems Development Approval process (revision)
Travel - General (revision)
These have moved into the reserach and consultation phase of the policy framework process.
Senior Executive Committee Adopts Procedures Framework for Memorial
When the Board of Regents adopted the Development, Approval and Administration of University Policies in September 2007, it made a deliberate separation of the authority of policy from the authority for procedures - the former resting with the Board and the latter with the University. More specfically, the statement regarding procedures approval states that changes can be made by the sponsor (of the related policy) with the approval of the sponsor's supervisor. Through a consultation process conducted in the Spring of this year, it was agreed that a formal mechanism be established for changes to procedures. On December 9, the Senior Executive Committee agreed to a procedures framework for the University as well as enhancements to the policy database with additional features which focus on the procedures.
The policy database users group has been resurrected to provide input on the requirements definition for these enhancements and has begun work this month.
The details of the procedures framework will be communicated to the University community early in the new year.

Question and answer details
|As-Salamu `alaykum, Dear brothers and sisters at Onislam! Before I start my question I would like to thank you for providing such a wonderful and accessible Web site for your fellow Muslims! Thank you! I find that most of the questions, fatwas and cyber counselor answers are written with such compassion and postivity that I never feel overburdened with the answers, but in fact uplifted, as things never seem as strict or frightening as they once did before I knew the truth. So, this brings me on to my question, that I'm hoping—in sha' Allah—will bring me the same kind of happiness, understanding, and conviction that the other answers to other questioners have. Okay, my question is about Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In many seerahs (biographies) of the Prophet there are details of how the marriages were arranged and many of them seem to state that beauty was the motivating factor, e.g, in his marriage to Juwairiya. Now I have read another answer to a similar question but was not satisfied by the answer. It was by Kamal Badr. I was not satisfied because I always thought that there were 10 wives only out of compassion, not outward beauty. I really appreciate Kamal Badr's answers most of the time, but this time I felt unsatisfied because there was no explanation of why or where such sources come from. And, if they were untrue, why in the Qur'an would Allah Almighty mention to Prophet Muhammad to not *{take any more wives even if their beauty should please you}*? Because this would back up those biographies that state that this was the motivating factor in the marriages, not social reasons or care for widows. This part just doesn't make sense to me, since a prophet would surely not think like this. I really think that a kind and knowledgeable brother or sister should write a book on all these controversial issues, so that wherever these questions arise from study they can be cleared up and proved false through intelligence and evidence, in sha' Allah. I hope and pray that you can help me in this matter and that I will in turn be able to help other brothers and sisters who have asked me these questions in sha' Allah.
|Kamal Badr
Salam Laila,
Let's answer this question together. Before his first marriage: he was famous for noble character and decency, to the extent that he was called The Most Trustworthy. Would it be logical for a womanizer or a lust-craving youth to be given such a beautiful and magnificent name?
Any man craving for women's beauty would never do this.
Now coming to the important point in your question, why in the Qur'an would Allah Almighty mention to Prophet Muhammad to not *{take any more wives even if their beauty should please you}*? First of all, the whole verse should be read completely in order to understand its full meaning and the rationale behind it. Allah says what means:
According to the prominent Qur'anic exegetes, this verse was revealed for certain purposes, part of which was to secure the rights of the Prophet's wives, especially after they had renounced the material world and chosen Allah and His Messenger. So the normal reward for them was to remain his wives and to keep the privilege of being the Mothers of the Believers. So the verse was revealed, according to Ibn `Abbas and others, to make it clear that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) should never think of divorcing them nor exchange them with other women. This brings us to another reason for the revelation of the verse: to eradicate the habit of exchanging wives, which was prevalent among the Arabs of the pre-Islamic era.
You seem to lay much focus on the phrase *{even if their beauty should please you}* taking this to mean that beauty factor must have had a role to play in the Prophet's plural marriages. No sister, the phrase does not imply such connotation. It's just a way of emphasizing a rule. Just as in another surah Almighty Allah addresses all Muslims with what means:
You see, it's just an emphatically instructive message here, i.e., you should never think of doing such- and-such even if there is an alluring factor in it; you should resist this factor because the danger beneath doing that is much greater. Allah then mentions the danger: *{Unbelievers do [but] beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His grace to the Garden [of bliss] and forgiveness}*
The Beautiful Wives of the Prophet
