Brevard, N.C. - Zak Beard drove in Steele Myers with a base hit in the left centerfield gap off the 1-2 offering from Steven Starbird to provide the Tornados with their first walkoff victory in the month of April as the Tornados defeated Lincoln Memorial, 6-5.
Christian Christopoulos was a perfect 4-for-4 in the game, while Randy O'Dell and Myers had three hits apiece as the Tornados improved to 13-23, 5-16 in the South Atlantic Conference on the season. Joseph Horsley led the Railsplitters offense (25-18, 13-9 SAC) with three hits, while Eric Kitts hit his 11th home run of the season in the game as LMU dropped the series opener to Brevard.
Lincoln Memorial opened the scoring in the contest, putting a run on the board in the top of the first. Juan Alvarez doubled to the left centerfield fence with one out. Cody Pack followed with an infield single which bounced around the infield before the BC second baseman threw the ball toward the LMU dugout, allowing Alvarez to score to put Lincoln Memorial on top 1-0.
The Railsplitters added three in the second as Kitts drove a one-out offering from BC starter Joseph Lepore into pine trees behind the right field line to add another run to the LMU score. Deaun Williams followed by drawing a walk, and a base hit by Nolan Woody put both runners in scoring position. Williams scored as Joseph Horsley reached on an error and Alvarez singles home Woody, but Champ Stuart threw out Horsley trying to score at home to end the inning.
Brevard recorded a crooked inning in the bottom half of the second as Kramer Clark led off the inning with a base hit. Myers advanced Clark to third with a single up the middle and Christopoulos brought Clark home with a bouncer down the third base line, putting the score at 4-1.
Brevard cut the lead in half in the fourth as the Tornados loaded the bases with one out against LMU starter Andy Fennell. Kameron Armacost brought in a run in the inning, taking a 3-2 pitch off the outside corner scoring Brett Brinson from third to put the score at 4-2. However, Fennell retired the next two BC batters to end the inning.
The Tornados took the lead for the first time in the contest in the bottom of the seventh. Myers drilled a double into the right centerfield gap, scoring Clark from second base to put Brevard back within one. Christopoulos tied the game up at 4 apiece on his fourth hit of the game, singling through the drawn-in infield to score Brinson. Myers came around to score later in the inning, crossing the plate on a passed ball to put BC up with two innings left to play.
Lincoln Memorial tied the game up in the top of the ninth. John Couch led off the inning against BC reliever Kevin Hamilton with a double down the right field line, advancing to third as the BC right fielder kicked the ball down the line. Dustin Haithcox (1-2) came in to pitch, retiring the first batter he faced, before Kitts singled up the middle, scoring Couch to put the score at 5 apiece. Kitts was thrown out by Stuart, trying to take second base and Haithcox closed out the inning by retiring Woody on strikes, sending the game into the bottom of the ninth.
Myers opened up the inning with a base hit up the middle against Starbird (4-3) and Christopoulos advanced him to second with a sacrifice bunt. Beard worked the senior left-hander to a 1-2 count before driving a line drive into left centerfield, scoring Myers from second to give the Tornados the 6-5 victory.
Brevard and Lincoln Memorial close out the South Atlantic Conference weekend series tomorrow afternoon as the Tornados host the Railsplitters at Gil Coan Field. First pitch of the doubleheader is set to begin at noon.

i think better you download BackTrack image for VMare just plug and play
Hi guys, I'm current installing Backtrack r3 by using virtual box.
The problem is I stuck in the middle part of installation, which the partition size of my device (8gb) is not enough for (11.3gb) installation.
Is there any way to increase the partition size? or this is the limit of my device?
Screenshot - 29_11_2012 , 3_49_41 PM.jpgScreenshot - 29_11_2012 , 3_50_14 PM.jpg

Strip the cable end and install a new connector
According to cable repair experts, corroded or faulty cable ends are one of the leading causes of a poor-quality picture. And with the transition to digital broadcasting, poor connections are going to become even more apparent. So if you're having problems with your picture or you just want to make sure you're getting the best digital signals, replace the crimp-on ends of your coax with state-of-the-art compression-type connectors. Here's how.
You'll need side-cutting pliers or another cutting tool to clip off the old cable ends, a special coax cable stripping tool to prepare the cable end for the connectors, and a compression tool to install the new ends (these are also sold together as digital tool kits). But before you purchase tools or connectors, you'll have to determine whether your coaxial cable is RG6 or the less common RG59. RG6 is the standard for new installations, but if you're replacing the ends on older cables, they might be RG59 (the white plastic dielectric that surrounds the center conductor is smaller on RG59 coax). Without a side-by-side comparison, it's hard to tell the difference between the two. To be sure, cut one of your coax cable ends off and take it along to the store. Ask a salesperson to help you identify the type.
Photos 1–4 show how to replace an old coaxial cable end with a new compression-type RG6 connector. It's pretty straightforward, but there are a few things to watch out for.
First, you have to strip the cable carefully to avoid damaging the conductor or sheathing. Start by positioning the cable in the outermost hole with the blade aligned 1/4 in. from the end of the cable. Twist the stripper around the cable two or three times to slice through everything but the center conductor. Remove the cable and slide the cut section off to expose 1/4 in. of bare copper conductor. Inspect the conductor carefully to make sure it's not cut or nicked. Next reposition the cable to the second hole in the stripper so the blade is aligned 1/4 in. behind the stripped section. Spin the stripper around a few times to cut the outer jacket. Remove the cable from the tool and slide the jacket off to expose 1/4 in. of the braided sheathing.
Prepare the cable end for the connector by carefully folding the braided sheath back onto the outer jacket (Photo 3). On quad-shield cables, you'll find two braids and two layers of foil. In this case, bend three layers back but leave one layer of foil covering the white plastic dielectric in place. It's critical to make sure that neither the foil nor any of the tiny braided wires are touching the center conductor.
Before you put the connector in the compression tool, press the connector onto the stripped cable end. You may have to twist the connector slightly as you push to get it to seat correctly. Then slip the connector into the compression tool and squeeze the handle until the compression sleeve is fully seated.

A Man's Perspective on Women's Dating Advice
Why are women so terrible at understanding what other women want?
-Justin DeMarco
The first time I realized women were not experts at sizing up other women was when I asked a girl to hang out "in town" with me. At 15, I couldn't drive, couldn't afford a fancy dinner, but I could buy her an Italian ice at Gee Wiz. I had everything planned out. I'd walk to her house and then we'd walk into town together. (Maybe I'd even hold her hand or put my arm around her as we walked.)
Well, I received a text the day before our big night on the town, or I should probably say, in the town. She couldn't make it. Her family had plans they didn't tell her about and she was "soooo sorry." I figured that made sense. My family had sprung plans on me out of nowhere before. So, I tried again. She couldn't make it.
I figured I'd better not ask her anymore and told my mom the details of my failed dating efforts. She persuaded me to keep trying.
"Something probably came up," my mom said. "She probably has a good reason."
Against my intuition, I asked for a third time and the girl even said she was looking forward to it, maybe my mom was right! Then the girl never showed.
Read Guys Answer: Why Your Ex-Boyfriend's Friends Won't Talk to You Anymore
I sat in town by myself for twenty minutes, texted her, received no response, and walked back home, alone. Later that night, she texted me she didn't have access to her cell phone and we should still hang out another time.
My mom told me to go for it again. I did. Same result. The girl no-showed once more.
I told my grandpa the story. And he told me where I went wrong.
"If a girl cancels on you once, that's okay. Give her the benefit of the doubt," he said. "If she gives you the run around more than once, forget about her and move on to the next one. "
If I would have known my grandpa's advice sooner, I would have saved myself the embarrassment of my plans constantly falling through, the girl the effort of making up lame excuses for a date she didn't want to go on, and my mom the annoyance of me pestering her about the awful dating advice she gave. I should have also known my mom probably thinks every girl in the world would want to date me because, after all, I'm her son.

Weeding out unnecessary paperwork has obvious benefits staying on top of bills and taxes, avoiding late fees, reducing exposure to identity theft and even making a grab-and-go exit easier in a natural disaster.
But it's not just about eliminating paper pileups. Getting organized also can be a godsend to your family, said Claes Bell, senior banking analyst at Bankrate.com.
"A lot of people don't think about this, but if you or a loved one passes away unexpectedly, having account numbers, website log-ins and other key financial information in some kind of order can make it much easier on your [family)]," he said. "Do you really want to burden them with the chore of cutting through your financial clutter?"
For all those reasons, here are five tips:
Less is more • If you have lots of different bank or brokerage accounts, you're generating lots more paper than you may need.
Unless you have a specific plan, such as better savings rates or laddered CDs, it can pay to consolidate your accounts among a few banks or credit unions, says Bell. Some banks offer perks, such as waiving fees or paying higher interest rates, to those with more than one account. Just be sure your combined deposits stay below the $250,000 limit for FDIC coverage.
It's the same with investments and brokerage accounts.
Several years ago, John Ulzheimer, consumer education president for SmartCredit.com, realized he had "way too many" overlapping stocks among the dozen mutual funds in his IRAs and 401(k). Not to mention all the prospectuses and quarterly reports that arrived in the mail.
So he simplified, converting some mutual funds to bond funds or consolidating into existing funds. Not only was there a dramatic drop in the amount of paper he dealt with, but Ulzheimer said his investment returns improved.
Switch to online banking • One obvious way to shed paper is to pay bills online, from utilities to credit cards to cellphones.
Remember to keep track of payment due dates so you don't incur a late fee. And if you set up automatic payments, be aware of triggering overdraft fees if your bank account dips too low.
Online payments also can help protect against fraud, since you're not mailing or generating as many financial pieces of paper, "the stuff that scammers love to get their hands on," said Ulzheimer.
Ditch extra credit cards • Getting rid of excess plastic can unclutter your wallet, as well as drop the number of monthly billings. And there are added benefits: "You won't accidentally make a purchase on a little-used credit card and then forget to pay the bill, which can mean big late fees and serious credit consequences," Bell said.
But be careful. If you close too many credit cards at once, it can ding your credit score. Rather than closing the extra accounts, Bell suggests it might be better to cut up the cards, so you're not tempted to use them. Just remember to periodically check unused cards for fraudulent activity.
Go digital • Almost any financial record can be found online. Switching to electronic delivery of banking, bills and tax documents can save lots of trees.
Several years ago, Ulzheimer found himself buried in file boxes, mainly financial paperwork for his clients and family. "Clutter doesn't begin to describe what my office and 1,600-square-foot storage unit used to look like," said Ulzheimer. "It was more of a disaster area than an office."
Five years ago, he started switching everything online, including his 1099 tax documents, brokerage statements and check deposits.
"It's a myth that you have to have a paper copy of everything." For instance, Ulzheimer receives all his 1099 tax documents online, then emails everything to his CPA at tax season.
By shrinking the amount of incoming paper, "I'm trying to live a minimalist life, financially." An added bonus: He emptied the storage unit, saving roughly $1,100 in fees every month.
Get off lists • One way to zap financial clutter is to stop it from entering your house, or your computer. Here's how:
Junk mail: DMAChoice, a service of the Direct Marketing Association, a Washington, D.C.-based trade group, lets consumers delete their names from thousands of mailing lists, including offers from many credit card companies, banks, magazines and retailers. You also can stop mail for deceased persons and mail addressed to "Current Resident" or "Occupant." Requests take up to 90 days to become effective but are good for three years.
Unwanted email: DMAChoice also offers its "Email Preference Service (eMPS), which lets you get off many but not all email marketing lists. (It does not apply to most charitable, political, alumni or professional organizations.) Registration is good for five years.
The do-it-yourself way: Spend some time deleting any regular emails you rarely open. Scroll down and look for the tiny print that says "Unsubscribe," then follow instructions.
DoNotCall: It's not eliminating paper, but those annoying telemarketing calls are still clutter. To stop most of them, contact the National Do Not Call Registry, managed by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, at 888-382-1222 or DoNotCall.gov. (It does not cover calls from political organizations, charities and telephone surveys, as well as companies where you have an existing business relationship.) You can register up to three phones, including mobile phones. It takes up to 31 days to be effective, but is permanent.
Overall, "it may be a drag to spend time organizing" your financial documents, said Bankrate.com's Bell, "but buckling down and doing it will save you time and money in the long run."

Expected the team Titan guys to run through the Aussies
Expected the team Titan guys to run through the Aussies
The really interesting part was the sprint training on the treadmill. 1.15 mins at incline 15 and 12.9 kph. How many intervals of this did they do? how long was the rest.
Episode 5 recap and results here.
The guys that lost will get a chance to go and build more experience and likely be told by the UFC to build themselves back up. Whether it comes in the form of tough domestic/Euro fights etc. will remain to be seen, but it's definitely too early for some to be in the UFC. A couple of years and more fights and they'll be in a much better position hopefully.
Can't wait for tonights episode
Brendan looked brilliant.
I thought Brendan had screwed it up when he went for that heel hook but fair play to him for not letting his foe have any breathing room in the second.
16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
Yeah, smothered him in the second.
personally think the british lads have been the better fighter in all the fights, even the early KO he'd rocked the convict first. the two other losses have both come after the brit had won the first round (or was winning) only to get caught, frustrating but i think the brits who've won have looked quite comprehensive. hopefully our one remaining WW can get to the finale.
was hoping one of the titan lads would fight the aussie replacement for that replacement place in the semis.

In Eastern Orthodox services, we regularly say prayers for those who travel "by land, by sea and by air." I have often wondered if that prayer will ever be amended to include those who travel through space. I mean, if the prayer is as ancient as I think it is, then it has already been amended once before, to include those who travel by air, so it could easily be amended again, right?
In any case, I thought of that prayer while watching Gravity the other day — and not just because it's a fairly realistic movie, set somewhat vaguely in the world of present-day space travel. (The Hubble telescope and the International Space Station are both in operation today, but the space shuttle program was mothballed two years ago — after Gravity had already gone into production — while the Chinese space station won't be built for another few years at least.)

The purpose of this unit is to introduce students to historical and contemporary legal decisions that have shaped the landscape of Aboriginal Title and Rights. By reviewing precedent-setting legal decisions and Federal/Crown legislation (such as the Royal Proclamation, 1763; Indian Act, 1876, and the Constitution Act, 1982) students will develop an understanding of how Canadian legal decisions have impacted the social, cultural, economic and political livelihood of Indigenous People in Canada.
Additional Information for Educators
This lesson draws on research and archival material from the Union of BC Indian Chiefs' digital collections: Our Homes Are Bleeding and the First Nations Digital Document Source (FNDDS). These materials are based on a research paper on Aboriginal Title and Rights comissioned by UBCIC in 2007. Educators will find that this lesson may be introduced to students as an individual lesson by direct instruction (use of power point) and quiz-format assessment, or it may be integrated with the additional materials (2 additional lessons) produced by the Union of BC Indian Chiefs on the subject of 'Aboriginal Title and Rights.'
Assessment Exercise
This lesson includes one short, quiz-format assessment exercise. Educators may use any or all of these questions at their discretion. Potential answers have been provided, however, educators are advised to implement the quiz as they see fit.

Syracuse longpole Brandon Mullins will miss the remainder of the season because of a right knee injury that will require surgery, the team announced Thursday.
The Orange's next contest is against St. John's on Saturday in the Whitman's® Sampler® Independence Classic at PPL Park in Chester, Pa.
Mullins went down in the fourth quarter of Friday night's OT victory against Virginia, clutching his knee when he hit the turf. He labored off the field but did not return.
Monday evening Mullins had an MRI, Syracuse SID Mike Morrison told IL on Wednesday, and now it is confirmed the knee will require surgery. The team was preparing as if they wouldn't have him this weekend, and now it is clear he will miss the entire year.
Mullins was enjoying a strong start to his sophomore campaign, contributing significant minutes in Syracuse's first three games, including starting two. He garnered attention for his ability to cover skilled offensive players and make plays in the middle of the field.
As a freshman, Mullins played in 17 games for the Orange, starting 10. He recorded 27 groundballs and 13 caused turnovers, using his rangy athleticism playing both close defense and LSM. Mullins was an acclaimed high school linebacker from Coppell, Texas, and he was pursued with offers to play collegiate football as well before deciding to join the Orange lacrosse program.
Mullins came into Syracuse ranked No. 10 among defensemen and 28th overall in Inside Lacrosse's rankings of the recruiting class of 2011. He was as a 2011 Under Armour and U.S. Lacrosse All-American.
Geoff Shannon reported from Homewood Field on Tuesday, that coach Dave Pietramala has declared an "open competition" for the starting goalie job. Blue Jay senior goalie Pierce Bassett sat out Tuesday's contest against the Mount as part of a series of rolling team suspensions, and redshirt sophomore Eric Schneider started in cage for Hopkins. More from Geoff Shannon is available here.
The impending snowstorm in the area has postponed the Maryland-UMBC game, originally slated for 5 p.m. at College Park on Wednesday night. There is no make-up date set.
The game was part of a rough week for the Retrievers. Because of TV implications — Wednesday's game was slated for an ESPNU Game of the Week broadcast — UMBC's already-tough run was scheduled to be more difficult. UMBC played Fairfield last Sunday, then was supposed to play Maryland on Wednesday. On Friday, UMBC plays Johns Hopkins at Homewood Field.
The UMBC-Hopkins game was originally going to be played on Saturday, but was moved to Friday for TV implications. The Maryland game was originally going to be played on Tuesday, but moved to Wednesday because of TV, causing the bottleneck in UMBC's schedule until this morning's postponement.
lready adjusting to life without a pair of starters in senior midfielder Ryan Clarke and junior defenseman Danny Sherr, No. 9 Salisbury suffered another blow when second-line midfielder Adam Stork broke his leg during practice Tuesday.
Stork, who has registered three goals and one assists in the team's last two contests, joins Clarke (ruptured spleen) and Sherr (foot) on the list of players whose seasons have been cut short by injuries. It's a bewildering stretch of ailments for the Sea Gulls, who have captured the last two national titles and 10 in all.
"It's definitely frustrating," coach Jim Berkman said Wednesday morning. "It's the most major injuries in a short period of time that I can remember. But the flip side of the coin is that everybody stepped up and manned up for the last couple of games. it was the next man up, and that's why you have a good program and that's why you have depth. When injuries occur, hopefully, you carry on at relatively the same level you were at before."
Clarke sustained his injury in the third quarter of Salisbury's 7-5 win against Widener on Feb. 23, but did not appear injured and played in the final period. But the following night, he told teammates and coaches that he felt woozy and was admitted to a local hospital, where the ruptured spleen was discovered.
Clarke, a Tewaaraton Award candidate this spring who had recorded 35 goals and 29 assists last year, had posted eight goals and five assists in four contests this season. His spot on the first midfield has been filled by junior Tyler Smith, who has recorded two goals and one assist in Clarke's absence.
"Ryan's more of a dodger, a one-on-one player. The ball movement has actually been a little bit better the last couple of games because it's just a little different style than what Ryan's assets play to," Berkman said. "We just have to make that adjustment."
Berkman said Sherr's foot problems are so acute that he cannot change directions. The team has paired junior Josh Martin with sophomore Knute Kraus in the starting lineup, shifted senior Brett Baer to close defense, and bumped up junior Zeke Smith to long-stick midfielder.
"[W]e've started to play great defense," Berkman said. "We held a great Gettysburg team to five goals, and if it wasn't for a couple of fluke bounces, they might've had three goals. So defensively, we played awful good Saturday. So hopefully, we made some adjustments and we'll be able to weather the storm."
Sophomore Alex Nieves and freshman Brady Dashiell are vying for Stork's place on the second midfield with junior Chris Biank and sophomore James Burton, but Berkman said he might give other candidates a shot.
"It's kind of been by committee," he said. "There's a couple other sophomores that are waiting in the wings that could get an opportunity or two."

Just checking; are you sure that you boot from HD not from DVD?
I have installed backtrack 4 final on my Dell Optiplex 170L using dual boot mode, when I reboot it does show the correct options, however I was not prompted for a login name and password during installation and when I get to the GUI the install.sh is still on the desktop. Is that where it was supposed to be? Seems like is should have only appeared on the live cd. Also, there isnt a GUI for login on reboot, I did not see where I was told to login as root and required to type startx everytime I start backtrack, is there a way to make the login process faster and easier?
Just checking; are you sure that you boot from HD not from DVD?
As such the install script will be there until you delete it.
As for the gui login this is not ubuntu and as such not everyone wants or needs a gui login process.
However you should be able to download kdm from the repos and that should solve the problems with a gui and auto login.
The default user for BT4 is root.
You can safely delete install.sh.
Search the old forum for an answer to your last question.
install.sh stays on the Desktop after installation, too. You can remove it.
When you boot from Live CD, BT4 will not ask you for a password, so you are logged in as root by default.
For graphical login, install GDM.
Similar problem. Login doesn't bother me at all, but I too was never prompted for a username and password. Logged in as root and the install.sh is still there and I the tab in control center to add users does not seem to be there. I swear it was under system administration before, but its not showing up now.
For the installation part, if the cd is out of the cd drive and you are booting only off of the harddrive the install was good. I would assume you can delete the install.sh.
where do I find install.sh.?
Yeah, sorry. Realized right after posting that I needed to go rtfm, but couldn't edit because of the first three posts rule. Was assuming that it would install just like the pre-release did. Suppose I shouldn't assume things. lol

Rupert Sanders has called his affair with Kristen Stewart a "momentary lapse".
The married 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director had an affair with the 26-year-old actress - who was dating Robert Pattinson at the time - on the set of the 2012 movie but he has now branded their dalliance as a "mistake".
He told the Metro newspaper: "You never know what's coming in life. Around every corner, there's something unexpected, and that's life. You just have to brush yourself off and continue moving forward the best you can. Everyone makes mistakes.
Her world was shattered when her husband Rupert Sanders was caught cheating on her with "Twilight" babe Kristen Stewart, but now that she's had some time to heal Liberty Ross is moving on.
Exactly six months after her husband's infamous cheating scandal surfaced, Liberty Ross has decided to call it quits on her marriage to Rupert Sanders.
The 34 year-old model's divorce petition was entered into Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday (January 25) where she is asking for joint custody of the pair's two children, along with spousal support and that her attorney fees be paid by Sanders.
Gearing up for some serious candy distribution, Rupert Sanders and Liberty Ross donned some fun costumes for Halloween last night (October 31).
The "Snow White and the Huntsman" director looked scary in a murdered mobster getup, while Liberty had all eyes on her thanks to a skin-tight catsuit.
Leaving the family home in Los Angeles, Liberty Ross was swarmed by paparazzi as she headed to her attorney's office on Wednesday afternoon (August 8).
The aggrieved wife of adulterous director Rupert Sanders wore a white sleeveless top, fitted black skirt, black heeled boots and a black cross necklace. Absent from her hand, however, was her own wedding ring.

Marcus Smith is waiting for a bone marrow transplant to keep him alive.
Leukemia has taken its toll on the small Fontana boy.
The 5-year-old, who loves animals and drawing, is excited about Christmas and hopes he'll be home from the hospital in time for the holidays.
Marcus was diagnosed with life-threatening leukemia in July. He improved with treatment but then relapsed in October.
"There's not a good prognosis if he doesn't find a match. We're just praying he won't go backwards," said Marcus' mother, Antoinette "Toni" Smith.
"As parents, we love our children but we take it for granted they will be around forever," said Smith, a single mother with three children. "We need to hug them a little tighter."
Armani Trice, 5, of Moreno Valley, also was diagnosed with leukemia this year.
Both are extremely ill and both are in desperate need of bone marrow transplants in an effort to cure their debilitating illnesses.
A Bone Marrow Registry Drive is set for noon to 5 p.m. Saturday at Rock Honda Dealership in Fontana.
The "Be the Match Foundation," which is hosting the drive, is helping to find a possible bone marrow match for the children, in addition to the tens of thousands of others on the waiting list.
Janet Higgins is community outreach specialist for Be the Match Marrow Registry, headquartered at the City of Hope in Duarte.
"It's easy to register on the National Registry," Higgins said. "If a match is found, it's a little more involved than donating blood - a little more time-consuming - similar to donating platelets or plasma, but it only takes one match to give someone another chance at life.
The foundation is asking for donor registrants between the ages of 18 and 44.
A Rancho Cucamonga company, Golden Island Jerky, will provide free jerky to anyone who donates or registers as a donor.
"Since this is the holiday season, everyone is busy with shopping and giving," Smith said. "If people could remember the intangible gift, it's a gift that could save a life."

It seems like so many people are on these low-carb diets these days. Are these safe for someone with diabetes?
-- Linda.
Linda, that is an excellent question and one I am sure many people with diabetes are asking. The popularity of very low carbohydrate, high-protein diets has increased in recent years. The media (and probably some of your friends) make claims about how much weight you can lose if you follow such a plan. Since weight loss is a main goal for treating type 2 diabetes, the idea of eating few carbohydrates and making up calories with high-protein foods (which are often also high in fat) may have some theoretical appeal.
However, you should know that low-carbohydrate diets (restricting total carbohydrate) to less than 130 grams a day) are not recommended in the management of diabetes, according to the 2012 Clinical Practice Guidelines, which are the official standards of medical care in diabetes, though there is some controversy about this in the medical community.
Examples of low carbohydrate diets include Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, The Zone, The South Beach Diet, Protein Power, The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet and Sugar Busters. The levels of fat and carbohydrate vary with each diet, but in general, all of these diets limit carbohydrate intake and are low in total calories.
Here are some areas of concern with low-carbohydrate diets:
On the other hand, there are some possible benefits of low-carbohydrate diets:
While no single diet is advocated specifically for type 2 diabetes, the current American Diabetic Association (ADA) guidelines emphasize working with a registered dietician familiar with diabetes medical nutrition therapy (MNT). With this help you can learn the best types and amounts of carbohydrates for you. You will want to limit saturated fat to less than 7% of total calories, to minimize or eliminate trans fats, and to avoid too much protein (especially if you already have any chronic kidney problems). If you choose to use alcohol, this should be limited to a moderate amount (less than one drink per day for adult women and less than two drinks per day for adult men).
Perhaps what you include is even more important than what you limit. You will want to be sure to include plenty of vegetables, fruits, legumes, fiber-rich cereals, and whole grain foods in your diet.
In general, the ADA suggests that half of your plate should be vegetables and salad greens, ¼ of your plate should be lean protein, and ¼ of your plate should be whole grains, fruits, or other healthy carbohydrates

Flint Hills Clay, which makes terra blanc, should have a MSDS available that lists any toxic ingredients. Suggest you check with them, or one of their distributors, to get an authoritative answer.

Medications sometimes can ease symptoms of aortic valve stenosis. However, the only way to eliminate aortic valve stenosis is surgery to repair or replace the valve and open up the passageway.
Surgery isn't always needed right away. If tests reveal that you have mild to moderate aortic valve stenosis and you have no symptoms, your doctor will schedule checkups to carefully monitor the valve so that surgery can be done at the appropriate time. In follow-up appointments, your doctor will review your medical history and conduct a physical examination. Your doctor may also discuss symptoms and what to expect as your condition progresses.
Your doctor may order an echocardiogram to view your aortic valve and monitor your condition every three to five years if you have mild aortic valve stenosis, and every year if you have moderate aortic valve stenosis.
If you have severe aortic valve stenosis, your doctor may schedule checkups every three to six months. Your doctor may order an echocardiogram every six to 12 months to view your heart valve and monitor your condition. In some cases, your doctor may order additional tests.
In general, surgery is necessary when narrowing becomes severe and symptoms develop. In some cases, your doctor may recommend surgery if you have severe aortic valve stenosis even if you aren't experiencing symptoms. If you have moderate or severe aortic valve stenosis and other conditions that require heart surgery, your doctor may recommend surgery to treat your conditions.
No medications can reverse aortic valve stenosis. However, your doctor may prescribe certain medications to help your symptoms, such as ones to reduce fluid accumulation, to slow your heart rate or to control heart rhythm disturbances associated with aortic valve stenosis. Lowering blood pressure may prevent or slow the development of aortic stenosis. Ask your doctor if you need to lower your blood pressure with medications.
You may need valve repair or replacement to treat aortic valve stenosis. Although less invasive approaches are possible in some cases, surgery is the primary treatment for this condition.
Therapies to repair or replace the aortic valve include:
Balloon valvuloplasty. Occasionally, balloon valvuloplasty is an option. Balloon valvuloplasty uses a soft, thin tube (catheter) tipped with a balloon.
A doctor guides the catheter through a blood vessel in your groin to your heart and into your narrowed aortic valve. Once in position, a balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated. The balloon pushes open the aortic valve and stretches the valve opening, improving blood flow. The balloon is then deflated, and the catheter with the balloon is guided back out of your body.
Balloon valvuloplasty may relieve aortic valve stenosis and its symptoms, especially in infants and children. However, in adults, the valve tends to narrow again even after initial success. For these reasons, doctors rarely use balloon valvuloplasty today to treat aortic valve stenosis in adults, except in people who are too sick to undergo surgery or are waiting for a transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Aortic valve replacement. This is the primary surgical treatment for severe aortic valve stenosis. Your surgeon removes the narrowed aortic valve and replaces it with a mechanical valve or a tissue valve. This procedure is generally performed during open-heart surgery.
Mechanical valves, made from metal, are durable, but they carry the risk of blood clots forming on or near the valve. If you receive a mechanical valve, you'll need to take an anticoagulant medication, such as warfarin (Coumadin), for life to prevent blood clots.
Tissue valves — which may come from a pig, cow or human deceased donor — often eventually narrow over the years and need to be replaced. Another type of tissue valve replacement that uses your own pulmonary valve (autograft) is sometimes possible but less likely in an older person. Your doctor can discuss the risks and benefits of each type of heart valve with you. Aortic valve replacement can relieve aortic valve stenosis and its symptoms.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Aortic valve replacement, the most common treatment for aortic valve stenosis, has traditionally been performed with open-heart surgery.
A less invasive approach — transcatheter aortic valve replacement — involves replacing the aortic valve with a prosthetic valve via the femoral artery in your leg (transfemoral) or the left ventricular apex of your heart (transapical).
In TAVR, doctors insert a catheter with a balloon at the tip in an artery in your leg or in a small incision in your chest and guide it to your heart and into your aortic valve. A balloon at the tip of the catheter, which has a folded valve around it, is then inflated. This pushes open the aortic valve and stretches the valve opening and expands the folded valve into the aortic valve. Doctors then deflate the balloon and guide the catheter with the balloon back out of your body. Alternatively, a self-expanding valve may be inserted into the aortic valve, and a balloon then isn't used.
In some cases, a valve can be inserted via a catheter into a tissue replacement valve that needs to be replaced (valve-in-valve procedure).
TAVR is usually reserved for individuals with severe aortic valve stenosis who are at increased risk of complications from aortic valve surgery. This procedure can relieve severe aortic valve stenosis and its symptoms in those who are at increased risk of complications from aortic valve surgery. TAVR has a higher risk of stroke and vascular complications than aortic valve replacement surgery. The technique is relatively new and is evolving quickly, and there are newer valves and indications occurring frequently. TAVR is sometimes referred to as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Aortic valve stenosis can be treated effectively with surgery. However, you'll need regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to check for any changes in your condition. You may still be at risk of irregular heart rhythms even after you've been treated for aortic valve stenosis. You may need to take medications to lower that risk. If your heart has become weakened from aortic valve stenosis, you may need medications to treat heart failure.
If you've had aortic valve replacement surgery, you need to take antibiotics before certain dental or medical procedures due to the risk of infection in your heart tissue (endocarditis).

Biogas recovery, heat and electricity generation from effluents ponds in Honduras
Extraction of palm oil is one of the most important economic activities in the Yoro region. The production of palm oil generates significant volumes of wastewater and requires substantial amounts of electricity and heat. According to Honduran environmental regulations, the wastewater has to be treated before it is discharged into waterways. In order to comply with national water standards, a system of anaerobic open lagoons is usually installed, as it is the lowest-cost treatment option for wastewater from palm oil mills. The anaerobic conditions in these lagoons (also known as palm oil mill effluent (POME) ponds) allow for the existence of anaerobic bacteria, which convert the organic matter contained in the effluent into biogas, including methane. These emissions are then released directly into the atmosphere. There is currently no legislation in Honduras that incentivizes the use of biogas for electricity or heat production and future legislation is unlikely. Thus, the common use of anaerobic open lagoons to treat wastewater from palm oil production results in the release of methane emissions, a major greenhouse gas contributing to global climate change.
The Hondupalma palm oil mill is located in the Yoro region of Honduras and is made up of 30 farmer cooperatives. The cooperative places a strong emphasis on sustainable and social development, providing ongoing financial support for a local hospital, school and infrastructure development. The mill includes six anaerobic open lagoons that are used to treat wastewater. The mill currently generates heat from a heavy fuel oil-powered boiler and a biodiesel powered boiler and receives its electricity from the national grid.
The Hondupalma palm oil mill created a new company called Centaral de Empresas de Generacion de Energia Renovable Hondupalma (ERH), whose shareholders are the same oil palm cooperatives that form Hondupalma. ERH is improving the current wastewater treatment system by recovering and using the biogas for heat and electricity generation at the Hondupalma plant.
UNDP MDG Carbon supported the development of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project that involves the installation of two biodigesters and a biogas recovery system. The captured biogas from agricultural effluents will be used in a gas engine for the generation of electricity for the mill's internal processes and in two boilers for the generation of heat. If the project is successful and there is enough biogas available, ERH is considering the installation of a second generator.
The project helps to mitigate climate change and contributes to sustainable development by capturing and using the methane emissions to generate heat and electricity, reducing the plants' reliance on fossil fuels for electricity production and displacing the use of heavy fuel oil for heating. The new, closed wastewater system also improves the quality of the wastewater, reduces the odours resulting from the decomposition of the waste, thereby improving local air quality, and creates several jobs during the plant construction and operation stages.

'"I think the players in the room have had a good experience at winning," eighth-year forward Adam Mair said. "I don't know how many of them really have had the experience of trying to battle through and losing. Learning how to turn that ship around is what you have to do. Learning how to put that effort in, that consistency, that day-in, day-out grind that it takes."'

Breakfast: At the Inn, buffet including hot and cold items; juice, tea, coffee, water.
Morning: A local historian will deliver a presentation on Port Union and its history. We will learn how Sir William Coaker formed a union of fishermen in the early 1900s to fight against the merchant trade of St. John's. His goal was to revolutionize the fishery, placing control of the fish trade in the hands of fishermen. Sir William is noted as an activist, labor leader, visionary, businessman, publisher and politician. Then we will embark on an expert-led walk in historic Port Union where we will see the buildings of the town, including the factory and the Coaker Bungalow. Many are being restored to their original state. Local experts talk about each site and the part it played in the life and times of Port Union.
Lunch: At a local restaurant, plated starter, entrée and dessert; water, tea or coffee. Other beverages available for purchase
Afternoon: We will travel to Bonaventure to the site of the CBC mini-series Random Passage, taking us back to the early 1800s. Based on the acclaimed book of the same name by Bernice Morgan, this site includes period buildings and fishing stages designed to replicate the life of a typical Newfoundland fishing community in the early 1800s. As we take a walk led by a local expert through the constructed buildings, we will learn about the hardships of immigrants from England and Ireland in their struggle to survive in the harsh Newfoundland climate. We will continue on to Trinity to explore the town's historic sites. The preservation of Trinity's cultural and built heritage has made it perhaps the most notable "heritage community" in the province.
Dinner: At a local restaurant in Trinity, plated starter, entrée and dessert; water, tea or coffee. Other beverages available for purchase
Evening: We will enjoy a theatre performance in Trinity presented by the Rising Tide Theatre Company. Since its founding as a professional theatre company in 1978, Rising Tide Theatre has offered audiences some of the finest plays and talent available in Canada.

Activity note: Walking 2 miles over 4.5 hours. Driving 45 miles over 2 hours.
Breakfast: Hotel buffet including cereal, juice, tea, coffee, scrambled eggs, and bacon
Morning: Before the advent of electricity, vegetables were stored in root cellars. Elliston has over a hundred of them, some which have been restored. That is why the town officially declared itself the "Root Cellar Capital of the World" in July 2000. The town boasts 135 documented root cellars, some of which have survived nearly 200 years. We will learn about early Newfoundland subsistence. Experts will talk about the importance of the cellars in the life of the settlers and how they were constructed. We will also visit the Elliston puffin site. Elliston boasts the closest viewing of puffins from land in North America. We will learn about and reflect on the history of sealing and sealers at the John C. Crosbie Sealers Interpretation Centre - Home from the Sea. Their stories of family and community are vividly brought to life through various artifacts, art and multimedia.
Lunch: At a local restaurant, plated starter, entrée and dessert; water, tea or coffee. Other beverages available for purchase
Afternoon: At Ryan Premises National Historic Site, we will learn the intriguing story of the East Coast fishery. Parks Canada staff will describe the compelling story of the fishing industry in Newfoundland in the unique setting of these restored merchant's premises. The first thing we notice is the smell of salt cod. More than a century after employees of James Ryan Ltd. began salting and storing the cod brought in by local fishermen, the tangy aroma of their work remains as strong as if the enterprise had just closed yesterday. We will visit the Cape Bonavista Lighthouse, located at the headland of Cape Bonavista. As trained locals interpret this site, we will learn how important this lighthouse was in guiding mariners and shipping traffic bound for Labrador. We will discover the vital role played by lighthouses, and the extraordinary breed of men and women who operated them, in safeguarding the lives of the mariners who executed their trade off Newfoundland's rugged coast. The lighthouse is now a Provincial Historic Site, restored to the 1870s. Bonavista is one of the oldest settlements on the northeast coast of Newfoundland. A quaint fishing community of 4,600 people, it is the largest community in the province to rely solely on the inshore fishing industry. Its name is presumed to have come from Italian explorer John Cabot's exclamation "O Buena Vista", meaning "O Happy Sight", when he first sighted land off Cape Bonavista in 1497.
Dinner: Local residents will join you for dinner and share their stories about life in rural Newfoundland. Dinner will be a buffet style meal featuring a variety of traditional Newfoundland dishes.
Evening: Following dinner there will be traditional music and dancing, and you may want to try your hand at playing the "ugly sticks" and spoons; and become an honourary Newfoundlander at a screech-in. An evening of fun and laughter.
Activity note: Walking 1.5 miles over 3.5 hours. Driving 220 miles over 4.5 hours.
Breakfast: Inn buffet including cereal, juice, tea, coffee, berry pancakes, and sausages
Morning: We set off for Twillingate by coach with stops en route. At Terra Nova National Park, we will learn about the geology and geography of the park, the marine life along its coastline and the issues affecting its ecological integrity. We will discover why the park's theme is "where long fingers of the North Atlantic Ocean touch our boreal landscape". After watching a short introductory movie, we will have an expert-led visit of the marine exhibits and touch tank, then up to the top of Blue Hill. The natural habitat of this 400-square-kilometre park includes spruce and fir forest, rolling hills, sheltered inlets, rugged coastline, bogs, ponds, streams and glacial features. From whales roaming the rich feeding grounds of the Sounds to the orchids of the boreal habitat, this area has supported an impressive array of marine and terrestrial life for thousands of years. Salmon, moose, bear, lynx and bald eagles are just some of the wildlife we may see at Terra Nova.
Lunch: At a local restaurant, a buffet meal featuring hot and cold items; water, coffee or tea. Other beverages available for purchase
Afternoon: At Boyd's Cove Beothuk Site, we will learn the haunting story of the extinct Beothuk people. We will discover how these people lived in the 17th century - who they traded with and what sort of religion they practiced. We will explore the physical world in which the Beothuk lived by following a traditional path through the forest used by early European settlers and possibly also by the Beothuk. Archaeological excavations have uncovered a group of house pits occupied between 1650 and 1720 AD, at a time when the now-extinct Beothuk people had had some interaction with Europeans and were making use of metal scavenged from European sites. The Beothuk people became extinct with the death of Shanawdithit, a Beothuk woman, in St. John's in 1829. The Boyd's Cove site and Notre Dame Bay area provide important information about the life and culture of this unique people.
Dinner: At the hotel in Twillingate, plated starter, entrée and dessert; water, tea or coffee. Other beverages available for purchase.
Evening: This evening is yours to explore local sites and discover Twillingate on your own or relax at the hotel. This town of 5,000 people is located in beautiful Notre Dame Bay. The town probably dates from the 15th century, when it was a fishing port. It flourished in the 18th century, becoming known as the "Capital of the North". Since the downturn in the fishery, many businesspeople and residents have turned to tourism to turn the town's fortunes around.
Activity note: Walking 2 miles over 4.5 hours. Driving 25 miles over 1 hour.
Breakfast: At the hotel, breakfast buffet including hot and cold items; apple and orange juice; coffee or tea
Morning: Our day will start with a visit to Prime Berth Fishing Heritage Centre, where we will learn about Newfoundland's inshore fishing heritage and culture as it is lived in the hundreds of little outport communities scattered around the coast. We will see demonstrations in a 100-year-old fishing stage and learn how life has changed in these communities in the past 20 years. The large number of cultural artifacts enables us to connect with the "soul" of Newfoundland. We will also be able to speak to people who have spent their lives in tiny outport communities. They work in the commercial fishery, catching snow crab, cod, capelin, herring, lobster, mackerel and squid. Run by commercial fisherpeople, the centre features an old fishing stage, net loft and fish store. We will also learn how the province's people are coping since the collapse of the cod fishery.
Lunch: At a local winery, plated meal with soup, sandwich and dessert; water, tea or coffee. Other beverages available for purchase
Afternoon: We will visit the Twillingate Museum, in operation since 1973, the museum is housed in the former Anglican Church Rectory built at the turn of the century. The museum features rooms furnished in the style of that period along with exhibits dedicated to special people. There are collections of family histories, historical photographs, local cemetery data, Beothuk and Maritime Archaic Indian artifacts. Later this afternoon, you will have a chance to spend some free time on your own to explore local sites and discover Twillingate. We may see icebergs (season permitting) because Twillingate calls itself the "Iceberg Capital of the World".
Dinner: At the hotel, plated starter, entrée and dessert; water, tea or coffee. Other beverages available for purchase
Evening: At leisure
Activity note: Walking ½ mile over 2 hours. Driving 250 miles over 8 hours (rest stops taken throughout journey).

Afternoon: We will visit the King's Point Whale Pavilion where the main attraction is a 50- foot whale skeleton. The humpback whale skeleton was extracted from a carcass that washed up in northeastern Newfoundland several years ago. Then we will continue on to Cow Head. This small fishing village is situated on the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Gros Morne National Park. It represents a large sample of Newfoundland's western highlands and coastal lowlands - a landscape of mountains, fjords, deep glacial lakes and wave-carved cliffs. We will arrive in Cow Head at approximately 5:30 p.m. in time to check-in and freshen up for dinner.

Lunch: At a local restaurant, plated meal with entrée, dessert, coffee, tea, water; other beverages available for purchase.
Afternoon: We will learn about the remarkable geology in Gros Morne National Park in a presentation and guided walk to the Tablelands. In fact, Gros Morne has been called the "Galapagos of Geology" and became a World Heritage site in 1987. Thanks to sharp ridges and huge cliffs, coastal bogs and highland tundra, dramatic ocean inlets and lakes, the scenery at Gros Morne National Park ranks among the most spectacular in Atlantic Canada. The park is a textbook illustration of plate tectonics, the theory that suggests that continent-sized plates of the earth's crust have collided and separated repeatedly over geological time. About 600 million years ago, the joint land mass of Europe and North America was starting to pull apart. Magma from the lower crust welled up and filled the gap between them, and this solidified magma is visible in the cliffs of Gros Morne's Western Brook Pond.
Dinner: At the hotel, plated starter, entrée and dessert; water, tea or coffee. Other beverages available for purchase
Evening: At leisure
Activity note: Today we will walk the trail to Western Brook Pond 3 km (2 miles) in length each way. The trail is boardwalk and gravel with some slight grades.

Afternoon: We will take a boat excursion on Western Brook Pond in Gros Morne National Park (weather permitting). This is the largest lake in the park. On board the boat, we will see the spectacular, land-locked Western Brook Pond fjord. The fjord is just one of numerous glacially carved fjords in the Long Range Mountains, the northernmost extent of the Appalachian Mountains. Waterfalls cascade from a height of 3,000 feet (900 meters), and we may spot some of the local wildlife. The lake is home to Atlantic salmon, brook trout and Arctic char as well as an unusual colony of cliff-nesting gulls. The trail carries us over the fragile coastal plain, once located below sea level. A light weight jacket is advisable while aboard the boat. Walk back on the trail to meet the coach; transfer to the hotel.
Dinner: At the hotel, plated starter, entrée and dessert; water, tea or coffee. Other beverages available for purchase
Evening: We will enjoy a presentation at the hotel by the Gros Morne Theatre Company, focusing on Newfoundland stories, song and music, celebrating the Newfoundland culture, heritage, and most importantly her people. Plays include stories about heroic nurses, heroic actions during a ship wreck, a pair of Newfoundland Eds, and a real life murder mystery from the 1800s.
Activity note: Walking 1.5 miles over 3 hours. Driving 225 miles over 5.5 hours.
Breakfast: Hotel breakfast buffet
Morning: We will depart by coach for St. Anthony. The town had its beginnings as a seasonal fishing station for French and Biscayan (Basque) fishermen in the early 1500s. This is how Jacques Cartier came upon it in 1534, when he named the protected harbor St. Anthony Haven. A permanent coastal settlement did not begin until after the Napoleonic Wars ended in 1815. During the latter decades of the 19th century, the town was a service point for Newfoundland schooners sailing between the Labrador coast and ports in Bonavista. As the largest town at the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula, it was a base camp for early European settlers.
Lunch: At a local restaurant, plated starter, entrée and dessert; water, tea or coffee.
Afternoon: We will learn how the Vikings would have lived 1,000 years ago at the Norstead Viking Village, a re-created Viking village. Costumed interpreters carry out authentic demonstrations. At the boatshed, marvel at a full-scale replica of a Viking ship. At the place of worship, explore the transition from paganism to Christianity. Visit the chieftain's hall, blacksmith shop, tents and fire pit. Next we will explore L'Anse-aux-Meadows National Historic Site - one of the highlights of this program. At L'Anse aux Meadows you will learn about this famous ancient Viking settlement, the first European encampment in the New World and site of Leif Erickson's Vinland. We will discover the westward migration of the Vikings and understand how they lived so long ago. Stand on the same grassy plain facing the sea where the Vikings stood 1,000 years ago, then stoop to enter the reconstructed sod house that once protected them from the chill, wind and snow. We will experience first-hand the warm, smoky atmosphere of these efficient buildings, while costumed interpreters depict Viking life. Eight Norse sod-house foundations were unearthed by explorer Helge Ingstad and his wife, archaeologist Anne Stine Ingstad, in the 1960s.
Dinner: At a local restaurant; plated meal with starter, entrée, dessert; coffee, tea, water. Other beverages available for purchase.

Breakfast: Hotel breakfast buffet
Morning: We will embark on a whale watching safari off the coast of St. Anthony to explore the breathtaking coastal waters of Iceberg Alley, an area noted for icebergs, whales and seabirds. In season, this northern corridor of Iceberg Alley consistently has more icebergs than any other location in Newfoundland. The St. Anthony coast is also one of the best places in the world for viewing humpbacks and Atlantic white-beaked dolphins. Minke, fin and killer whales are also common. A naturalist will provide interpretive commentary on icebergs, marine wildlife, and Newfoundland culture.
Lunch: At a local restaurant, plated meal with starter, entrée and dessert; water, tea or coffee. Other beverages available for purchase.
Afternoon: We will explore the Grenfell Historic Properties complex in St. Anthony. At Grenfell House Museum and Interpretive Centre, we will learn about the life and times of Sir Wilfred Grenfell, a medical missionary who devoted his life's work to serving the people of northern Newfoundland and Labrador. A local expert will take us on an exploration of the complex. We will continue by coach to Hawke's Bay, a town on the Viking Trail between Gros Morne National Park and St. Anthony, at the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula. Nestled at the end of a beautiful inland bay, the town is protected from the cold winds and fog experienced along the coast. It is rich in history, from whaling to early aviation, logging, sport-fishing and river drives. Arrive and check-in to the hotel in Hawkes Bay.
Dinner: At the inn, seafood dinner featuring plated starter, entrée and dessert; water, tea or coffee. Other beverages available for purchase.
