EXETERŌĆöThe Exeter Town Council hopes voters have had a change of heart since 2010 as Monday night, during its regular monthly meeting, the council approved a measure to once again ask residents to add a new position in the notoriously small municipal government.
In a 3-1 vote, with member Dan Patterson dissenting, the council agreed to move forward with a ballot question in this NovemberŌĆÖs election seeking approval to create a town administrator position that will employ someone to handle the ŌĆ£day-to-day operationsŌĆØ of Exeter.
By MARTHA SMITH
Special to the Standard
EXETER ŌĆō Taylor Flanagan, a volunteer firefighter with Station 4, was still awake at 3 a.m. on July 22 when the emergency radio crackled in his home: A car had flown 20 feet off dark and winding Mail Road, landing upside down in a ravine and catching fire.
Flanagan, who lives nearby, jumped into his truck and raced to the scene.
Meanwhile, in another home off Mail Road, Lt. Scott Gavitt and his son, Scott Jr., were asleep but they, too, quickly heeded the call.
First at the scene, Flanagan could see from the road that the car was ablaze.
Despite repeated failed attempts, the town of Exeter will once again seek to gain approval from voters to add a new administrator to oversee day-to-day operations in the small, rural community.
In this week's Standard-Times, we tell you exactly what that means for you come Novemmber and we'll bring you an exclusive look at a pair of local firefighters who stepped up big when called and saved a man's life.
In addition, we've got updates on the latest controversy surrounding businesses owner by Tim Schartner and update you on a pair of Senate decisions that could affect you very soon.
A few weeks ago when I was writing a story about the cable business channel CNBC ranking Rhode Island 50th among the 50 states in so-called ŌĆ£business friendliness,ŌĆØ I talked to a lot of people who said, yeah, with our taxes and the horrendous condition of our roads and bridges, we pretty much deserve the dubious distinction.
But there was one Rhode Island businessman, John Hazen White Jr. (an occasional contributor to local editorial pages), who suggested there might be cause for optimism.

Wickford Village is the new home of MaxwellŌĆÖs Made in America, a unique store showcasing local artisans and providing shoppers with arts and crafts specialty items made in America.
A showcase store for artisans and crafters from Ocean State Artisans (OSA), the store moved from its original home in East Greenwich to the barn in Wickford Village in June. Just in time for the close of schools and the busy summer season, MaxwellŌĆÖs Made in America is a compliment to the local retail environment.
Rhode Island native and current CVS/Caremark Charity Classic co-host Billy Andrade joins the field of the Rhode Island Open this week for the first time in almost 30 years, RIGA Executive Director Bob Ward announced after the 29th Stroke Play Championship last Wednesday.
Andrade and the rest of the field will play at Ledgemont Country Club Tuesday and Wednesday and the top 40 plus ties come back for the final round Thursday.
Andrade tees off the 10th hole Tuesday at 8:36 a.m. with RIGA Amateur champion Charlie Blanchard and Geoffrey Fisk; the trio tee off No. 1 Wednesday at 12:51.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö Bradford BishopŌĆÖs potential new career as a public servant for the town got a bit of a head start.
Bishop, who announced his candidacy for a seat on the Town Council back in late June for this coming election, will serve as a temporary member after being unanimously appointed by the Council following MondayŌĆÖs meeting at Town Hall.

Lets Be Friends?
Do you ever catch yourself doing something you'd rather you didn't? Enjoying an episode of Geordie Shore? Overusing emoticons? Working an involuntary pout in the mirror? Relying too heavily on words like "cool" and "awesome"? Singing and dancing your way down the aisles to a supermarket jingle?
These holidays I caught myself doing something that I have since vowed to banish, none of the above, they're all staying. I didn't realise how much I was doing it until my partner in time pointed it out.
- "Look Max there's a little boy, you share the same gender, you should probably go and play with him"
- "Hey Max did you see that little girl, you are roughly the same age, you guys would totally be great together"
- "Wow Max that boy has a train on his t-shirt, you two are like kindred spirits, totes bffl's"
Off he trots each time with an optimistic smile, a sense of anticipation and usually a toy offering to cement the deal. I'm waiting in the wings, hiding behind a bush, looking on with everything crossed, I can lip read his words – "can I play with you" or "can I be your friend?". The outcome is usually the same; words are exchanged, gestures are made and Max spins on his heels and walks back wearing a look of dejection. "It's okay Max, we'll get the next one".
"Why do you do that? How would you like it if your Dad picked your friends?" I would hate it if my Dad found my friends, it would be disastrous. "Look Matt that man over there looks as though he may have been born in the same decade as you and he is wearing the same brand of shoe as you. Now off you go and introduce yourself to him and ask if you can play together, don't forget to use your happy face".
He's at an age now where he wants to be sociable and make friends, Max not my Dad, but he also takes the knock backs a little harder than he used to. In hindsight I don't think that me pre-empting these knockbacks in the hope that one or two might 'work out' does him any good. In future I'll let things happen organically and I won't hide in the bushes anymore either because that's a terrible look too.
What do you think?

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A red-hot Lobos team will welcome the equally hot Texas Tech Red Raiders to Lobo Field Monday afternoon at 2 MT in a game that features teams with a combined record of 62-22-1. It's the third meeting between the teams this season with the Red Raiders taking games in Lubbock (9-3) and Midland (6-3). This will be, however, only the 15th game TTU has played away from Lubbock this season. The Red Raiders are a .500 team (7-7) away from home. UNM, meanwhile, is 13-6 (.684) away from Lobo Field and 17-5-1 (.761) at home this season.
UNM (30-11-1, 14-4) has won eight straight games to open a four-game lead in the loss column in the Mountain West on both UNLV (25-15, 13-8) and Nevada (21-16, 13-8). Since the Lobos' last meeting with the Red Raiders on April 1, they are a staggering 11-1. As hot as UNM is, the Red Raiders are almost as hot, winners of eight straight themselves. Those games, however, have all been home contests, while five of UNM's eight wins have come on the road.
The Lobos are once again one of the best hitting teams in the nation, ranking fifth in team batting at .318, first in hits (486), sixth in both RBIs (266) and total bases (624) and eighth in runs (291). Meanwhile, Chase Harris is third in the nation in both hits (68) and RBIs (51), Alex Real is third in doubles with 18 and Sam Haggerty is eighth with 44 runs.
UNM continues to receive excellent pitching as well. The team's 3.88 ERA currently stands as the fourth best in program history and best since 1975. The bullpen has been especially good, posting a 3.14 ERA while protecting leads. UNM is a staggering 26-0 when holding a lead after six innings.
Despite a .726 winning percentage and a large lead in the Mountain West, UNM continues to go mostly unnoticed across the country. Below is a list of teams who are ranked or have been ranked this season but have a lower winninger percentage than the Lobos, who have yet to be ranked in any poll this season (teams in bold are ones UNM has defeated this season):
- Vanderbilt, Alabama, Louisville, Oklahoma State, UC Santa Barbara, Miami, Fla., Indiana, Rice, TCU, Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee, San Diego, Clemson, UNLV, Oklahoma, Georgia Tech, Arkansas, Texas A&M, UCLA, North Carolina State, Arizona State, Kansas, Kansas State, Auburn and Cal State-Fullerton.
• SCOUTING TEXAS TECH ... The Red Raiders are coming off a weekend sweep of Prairie View A&M, outscoring the Panthers 25-3 in the process. Like New Mexico, TTU is one of just 14 teams in the nation to own 30 or more wins, but a staggering 25 of those have been at home. The Red Raiders have only played 14 games away from Lubbock, and are just .500 (7-7) in those games. Contrast that to UNM, which is 13-6 away from Lobo Field this season.
Offensively TTU is led by sophomore Eric Gutierrez, who leads the team in batting (.338), runs (35), hits (52), triples (2), home runs (7), RBIs (37), total bases (88), slugging (.571) and OBP (.453). Freshman outfielder Stephen Smith is second on the team with a .305 average, while senior outfielder Adam Kirsch adds more pop to the lineup with six home runs, 35 RBIs and a .517 slugging percentage.
Sophomore righty Jonathan Tripp is expected to start against the Lobos. It will be his 10th appearance and third start of the year. He is 0-1 with a 2.89 ERA in 18.2 innings. He has struck out 14 and walked just three. Johnny Drozd (4-0, 1.80, three saves) and Ryan Moseley (1-1, 2.30, three saves) anchor a solid bullpen. Overall, the staff owns a 3.17 ERA and is holding opponents to a .254 batting average against.
• YOUTH IS SERVED... Of UNM's top seven hitters, Chase Harris is the only senior and four of the seven are underclassmen: two freshmen (Danny Collier and Andre Vigil), two sophomores (Sam Haggerty and Jared Holley). Also, all of UNM's top four relievers are either first- or second-year players.
• BULLPEN DOMINANCE ... Teams should be put on notice that if UNM takes a lead into the seventh inning, they are in trouble. UNM is an astounding 26-0 when leading after six and 27-0 when leading after eight thanks to an outstanding bullpen. Lobo relievers own a 3.14 ERA this season and is led by a quartet of performers, all of whom are in just their first or second year in the program. Closer Victor Sanchez is 1-0 with a team-leading seven saves in 13 relief appearances this season. He has struck out 17 and allowed just two runs in 18.1 relief innings. Freshman Carson Schneider is UNM's go-to lefty out of the pen, having made 17 relief appearances and owning a 1.40 ERA over 19.1 innings. Sophomore Taylor Duree has been the workhorse, leading the team with 20 relief appearances and 25.0 innings out of the pen. He is 2-0 with one save and a 2.52 ERA. Junior Jake Cole is 2-0 with three saves and a 2.62 ERA in 14 relief appearances spanning 24.0 innings. He is the Lobos' strikeout leader out of the pen, fanning 26 batters on the year.
• CHASING HARRIS ... With all the offensive talent UNM lost from last season's team, the Lobos needed Chase Harris to become The Man for them in 2014, and that is exactly what he has done. He currently leads the nation in at bats with 183 (followed closely by Sam Haggerty in third with 179) and and is third in hits with 68. He also ranks third in the country with 51 RBIs. Meanwhile his 101 total bases is tops in the Mountain West, as are his 21 multi-hit games and 12 multi-RBI games, while his .372 average ranks second. He also leads the Lobos in home runs with six, triples with four, slugging (.552) and stolen bases (10).
Also, on April 18 at San Jose State he became the first Lobo since Mitch Garver on May 5, 2013, to record six RBIs in a game as UNM defeated the Spartans 14-4.
• WE WERE ONLY FRESHMEN ... The Lobos have received key contributions from many first-year players in 2014, but Danny Collier and Andre Vigil stand above the rest. Despite not starting when the season began, they now rank third and fifth on the team in batting at .342 and .325, respectively. Collier has reached base in all 28 of his starts while walking more than he has struck out. He has also leads the team with three outfield assists, including two at home plate: one against SJSU on March 22 and one at Stephen F. Austin on April 9.
Vigil, meanwhile, is third on the team with seven multi-RBI games, and had a 10-game hitting streak from March 14 to March 28. He hit .450 (18-for-40) during that stretch with nine runs, 12 RBIs and three doubles. He had five multi-hit games and struck out just three times in 44 plate appearances. He also second in the Mountain West in batting in conference games, hitting a crsip .417 (25-for-60).
• THE MAGIC NUMBER ... Six appears to be UNM's magic number for both the offense and pitching staff this season. The Lobos are 22-0 when scoring at least six runs and 24-2-1 when holding the opponent under six runs.
• 'BOS KNOW PITCHING ... If the UNM pitching staff can maintain its current 3.88 ERA over the rest of the season, it will post the fourth lowest ERA in the history of the program, and the lowest since 1975. The 2014 staff is doing this despite being on pace to set a school record for most innings pitched.
Despite pitching a mile above sea level, UNM has been excellent at home, posting a 2.98 ERA while holding opponents to a .265 batting average at Lobo Field.
• NO WEAK SPOTS IN THIS LINEUP ... The Lobo offense rolls nine deep, and nothing proves that more than the production they get out of the No. 9 spot in their order. Five Lobos have combined to hit .353 (54-for-153) while occupying the last place in the lineup. Aaron Siple (.361, 26-for-72) and Jared Holley (375, 18-for-48) lead the way.
Need further proof? Eight of the nine qualifiers in the batting order enters the game against Texas Tech with an average of .304 or better.

TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE: This year marks the 94th season of Holy Cross men's basketball. The Crusaders own an overall record of 1318-888 (.597), while making 24 postseason tournament appearances — 12 trips to the NCAA Tournament and 12 to the National Invitation Tournament. In the history of collegiate basketball, Holy Cross is one of only 16 schools to have won the NCAA Tournament (1946-1947) as well as the National Invitational Tournament (1953-1954). Throughout its history, Holy Cross has had six first team All-America selections, sent 10 players to the National Basketball Association, had four players inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, had 23 players drafted by professional teams, had three players go on to coach professionally, and had 15 players who have coached in college.
HARTFORD RECAP: Dave Dudzinski posted a double-double with 13 points and a career-high 15 rebounds, but Holy Cross was defeated by Hartford 48-45 at the Chase Family Arena on Dec. 1, 2012. Justin Burrell added 10 points and three assists for the Crusaders. The score was tied at 4-4 early on, before the Hawks scored five straight points to go up by five. Hartford would extend its lead to six points (12-6), before the Crusaders used a 6-0 run to tie up the score at 12-12. The Hawks came right back with a 7-2 spurt of their own to go back in front by five (19-14) with four minutes left before the break. Holy Cross responded with an 8-0 run to claim its first lead of the night, and would go on to take a 22-20 advantage into the locker room at halftime. Early in the second half, Hartford used a 7-0 spurt to pull back in front (27-24) with 16 minutes left to play. After the Crusaders had tied up the score at 27-27, the Hawks went on an 11-0 run to reclaim the lead. Hartford would increase its advantage to 14 points (42-28) with eight minutes remaining, before Holy Cross used an 8-0 run to get back into the game. The Crusaders would trim the margin down to one point (46-45) with 17.8 seconds to go on a three-point field goal by Jordan Stevens, before Evan Cooper hit a pair of free throws to put the Hawks back up by three (48-45). A three-point attempt by Burrell in the closing seconds was then off the mark, as Hartford held on for the victory. Holy Cross held a 43-28 rebounding advantage on the night, and held the Hawks to 31.5 percent shooting from the field. But the Crusaders also committed 17 turnovers, and made just 35.3 percent of their own field goal attempts. Mark Nwakamma led Hartford with 12 points and three steals.
BROWN NOW IN THIRD YEAR WITH CRUSADERS: Milan Brown is in his third season as the head coach at Holy Cross in 2012-2013, with an overall record of 27-39 and a 16-12 mark in Patriot League regular season games. With the win over Army on Feb. 9, 2011, he recorded the 100th victory of his collegiate head coaching career. Brown's overall career record now stands at 122-159 (.434). The 16th head coach in the history of the program, he came to Holy Cross after spending the previous seven seasons as head coach at Mount St. Mary's. During his final three years at Mount St. Mary's, Brown led the Mountaineers to three straight winning seasons and a pair of postseason appearances. His teams posted a 54-44 record (.551) during those three years, including a 35-19 mark (.648) in Northeast Conference play. During the 2007-2008 campaign, Brown led Mount St. Mary's to the first NCAA Division I Tournament victory in school history (69-60 over Coppin State).
STEVENS STEPS INTO STARTING ROLE: Senior guard Jordan Stevens (Gansevoort, N.Y.) has taken over as a starter for the Crusaders on the wing this year, after serving as a key reserve last season. In eight games played this year, he has averaged 7.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals per contest. During the victory over Maine, Stevens posted his first career double-double with 13 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. He previously had 14 points, four rebounds and four steals against Texas-San Antonio. Stevens also scored nine points at Hartford, while recording seven points and two rebounds in the victory over Morgan State. In 28 games played in 2011-2012, he averaged 5.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists, while making 44.0 percent (22 of 50) of his three-point field goal attempts. As a sophomore in 2010-2011, Stevens averaged 7.1 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, scoring a season-high 15 points against both Army and Navy. Over the course of his collegiate career, he has now totaled 402 points, 161 rebounds and 88 assists, while connecting on 33.9 percent (60 of 177) of his three-point field goal attempts.
OBEYSEKERE STEPS UP ON FRONT LINE: Senior forward Eric Obeysekere (Orinda, Calif.) has developed into a solid presence for the Crusaders in the low post. After missing the first four games of the season due to injury, he has averaged 3.8 points and 6.5 rebounds over the last three contests. Obeysekere totaled eight points, seven rebounds and two assists at Providence, and pulled down 10 rebounds at Hartford. Last season, he averaged 3.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. Obeysekere's best game during the 2011-2012 campaign came against San Francisco, when he totaled 10 points, 15 rebounds and five blocked shots. In 2010-2011, he averaged 4.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. Over the course of his career with the Crusaders, Obeysekere has now totaled 255 points, 354 rebounds and 101 blocked shots.
THE LAST MEETING WITH SACRED HEART: R.J. Evans totaled 12 points, six rebounds, three steals and two assists, as Holy Cross posted a 71-60 victory over Sacred Heart at the Hart Center on Dec. 9, 2011. Evans became the 46th player in school history to score 1,000 career points when he netted a layup with 11:41 remaining in the second half. Devin Brown scored a game-high 22 points for the Crusaders, while Justin Burrell added 10 points, six assists and two steals. Jeff Harris also had a solid night off the bench, recording seven points, two rebounds and two steals. Sacred Heart was led by Justin Swidowski with 14 points and 11 rebounds. The game was tied at 6-6 early on, when Holy Cross went on an 18-2 run to open up a 16-point advantage (24-8). Both Brown and Dave Dudzinski scored five points during that spurt. The Crusaders would increase their lead to 18 points late in the half, before eventually taking a 35-20 advantage into the locker room. The Pioneers chipped away at the lead early on in the second half, cutting the margin to nine points (39-30) with 15 minutes to go on a three-pointer by Shane Gibson. But Harris then scored the next five points, igniting a 12-3 run which put Holy Cross back up by 18 (51-33). The Crusaders' lead would remain in double figures until the 4:11-mark, when a pair of free throws by Gibson made the score 61-52. But Sacred Heart would get no closer, as Holy Cross made eight of 10 free throws in the final two minutes to ice the victory.
BEANS PLAYS KEY MINUTES IN THE POST: Senior center Phil Beans (Toledo, Ohio) is once again playing a key role for Holy Cross in the paint this season. In six games played, Beans has averaged 7.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per contest, while making 32.0 percent (eight of 25) of his shots from three-point range.

Narragansett, R.I. -- September 25, 2002 -- One of the known facts about landfalling hurricanes is their rapid decay, yet some of them retain tropical storm winds and gusts well inland. While studies have shown that the reduction in surface evaporation is a reason for hurricane decay during landfall, little is known about the effect of land surface water on the intensity of hurricanes.
In a recent issue of the Journal of Atmospheric Sciences, URI Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) physical oceanographer Isaac Ginis, Weixing Shen, formerly with GSO and now at NOAAs National Center for Environmental Prediction, and Robert E. Tuleya of NOAAs Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) in Princeton, New Jersey, studied the effect of land surface water on hurricane intensity. The team found that under some conditions, the presence of less than two feet of water could noticeably reduce landfall decay.
Previous studies of land-falling hurricanes used fixed underlying surface conditions. The current study, using the GFDL hurricane model, investigated the effects of land surface water on land-falling hurricanes, including surface temperature changes and their influence on changes in surface heat, hurricane structure, and intensity. The team of scientists used a range of water depths and surface roughness conditions to correspond to a possible array of surface conditions.
Funded by the National Science Foundation, the study showed that during hurricane landfall over a water-covered land, large local surface cooling occurs near the hurricane core region. This surface cooling causes a reduction in evaporation, the primary energy source for hurricanes, thus considerably reducing hurricane intensity during landfall. The reduction depends on the presence and depth of surface water. With a two-foot layer of surface water, the hurricane will maintain its intensity, but collapse over dry land.
An increase in surface roughness significantly reduces the surface winds but only yields a small increase in the central pressure because while surface roughness increases surface drag, it also increases surface evaporation which fuels a hurricanes intensity.
When a hurricane travels over land, the amount of surface evaporation is considerably less than when it travels over water. However, the scientists found that this condition does not produce any large changes in the size of the eye of the storm, even when hurricane intensity is significantly reduced.
Ginis, along with GSO physical oceanographer Lewis Rothstein, developed a computer model to predict the intensity of hurricanes. The GSO model was coupled with a hurricane model created by National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administrations (NOAA) Geophysical Fluid Dynamic Laboratory (GFDL) to provide a more efficient set of predictors that take into consideration the effects of atmosphere-ocean interaction during storms and more accurate predictions of storm intensity. In 2000, the coupled model became an official component of the national hurricane prediction system used to forecast Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico tropical storms and hurricanes.
The URI Graduate School of Oceanography is one of the country's largest marine science education programs, and one of the world's foremost marine research institutions. Founded in 1961 in Narragansett, RI, GSO serves a community of scientists who are researching the causes of and solutions to such problems as acid rain, harmful algal blooms, global warming, air and water pollution, oil spills, overfishing, and coastal erosion. GSO is home to the Coastal Institute, the Coastal Resources Center, Rhode Island Sea Grant, the Institute for Archaeolocial Oceanography, and the National Sea Grant Library.

Things are moving the wrong way!!! Help!!
So I've been following the 13 week workout (I'm on week 3), cut down on my cadio from an hour 5x/ week to 2 20 min HIIT sessions and one or two 30-35 min slower sessions, kept track of my diet, and not gotten on the scale for a few weeks. Got on the scale this morning and I'm 3 lbs. heavier than when I started (now 145!). My goal is 133-135 by May when we go on a Caribbean cruise! I'd like to think this is muscle, but the mirror tells me otherwise (plus this is supposed to be a fat burning workout, not a bulk!!). I'm posting my link to Fitday. Would someone please review my diet and help me tease out the problem? I have figured my maintenance cals to be between 2100-2200 depending on the method I use, so my goal is 1800 cals/day with a 40/30/30 split. I know I have been a little over my goal each day, that's me trying to slowly wean myself from junk and avoid a binge, but I didn't think it was enough to GAIN weight!! The only other thought I have is that I'm going to have to start measuring EVERYTHING (I do for most stuff, but like salad and vegetables, sugar free jam, etc... I just guesstimate) and counting things like crystal light, the sugar free gum I chew which does have calories, and the "no cal" butter spray I put on my veggies (I know there has to be SOME calories in there) and cut down on the PB. I DO eat an awful lot of PB but it is practically the only source of fat I get except what naturally occurs in food, and it hasn't skewed my ratios for macros so I thought it was okay, but maybe..... I'm really frustrated right now and trying not to panic. Can someone please be the voice of reason (or knowledge, or even experience) for me?! Here is the link to my Fitday account:
Fitday homepage
I'm not sure I have the link thing down so if it doesn't work let me know how I can fix it. Thanks in advance!
Re: Things are moving the wrong way!!! Help!!
hi there,
just read your diet on fitday and what first comes to mind is; cut out the pb and gatorade for a while. come down with your calories a little bit and start to cycle your carb intake:
monday=medium 120 grams
tuesady=low 80 grams
wednesday=high 160 grams
thursday=medium 120 grams
friday=low 80 grams
saturday=high 160 grams
sunday=low/medium 100 grams
keep your protein in the 160 gram range. believe me, this works wonders. i always do that precontest.
how many times do you lift? and do you get your body fat measured? if not, do that. forget the scale. also measure your waist, hips and thighs like every two weeks or so.
maybe you really just put on muscle and can't trust the mirror anymore.
and hey, cruise: vast amounts of food available 24/7...
good luck!!
Re: Things are moving the wrong way!!! Help!!
Hi pasha,
Thanks for the quick response. I am lifting on a three day split according to the 13 week program, but actually probably lift 4x/week. The gatorade in my diet is with the post workout shake for an insulin spike, so I thought that was doing me some good, but yeah, I agree about the PB. Maybe I'll have to reevaluate the gatorade, I'm open to any and all suggestions at this point. I know I need to get a handle on the carb cycling now that I am getting better at using fitday and playing with my macros instead of just counting calories. That would probably help, too.
I haven't had my BF measured by calipers since July. It was 18% then, but I was 5-7 lbs. lighter, too. My measurements have gone up- that was the first thing I did this morning after I got on the scale. My hips are up about an inch (from July) and my thighs are up about 3/4 inch. And it jiggles, YUCK[img]/forum/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]!!
Do you see things in my diet that I shouldn't have on a cut, or is it more a question of volume control? Also, what about the cardio? I realize I didn't put my activities into Fitday, but I'm really confused about the pro's and cons of cardio, like am I doing enough or too much????
I'm not as worried about what I'll eat while on the cruise as I am about what I'll eat in the weeks beforehand! The last time I went on a cruise I was able to eat very healthy and actually lost a pound or two that week- lots of shrimp and vegetables everywhere!!!
On a lighter note- that's cool that you compete. What competitions have you done, and what are your goals? Do you have any tricks for appetite control and tricking your body into feeling full? Thanks again for your response.
Re: Things are moving the wrong way!!! Help!!
How are your workouts? Are you feeling fresh? Are you hungry?
Are you near your time of the month? I dont see why adding one more intense cardio 20-30 would hurt, on your non lift days, IF you arent burnt out......As for post workout drink, I usually drink a juice box type thing-very high sucrose to get the protein in- so your Gatorade is ok, I prefer a more sugary drink for after. Are you challenging yourself in the gym? I know these are a lot of questions, but I believe sometimes that asking a lot of questions sometimes weasels out the solution! Somebodys signature includes something about burning the scale cause Satan is in there!! Maybe you should put the scale in the closet!! lol!! chin up girl!! your doing great!!
Re: Things are moving the wrong way!!! Help!!
Gee, I think your diet looks pretty good. Some days are a bit low, but you balance it out with higher days for a seemingly good caloric intake overall. Might be a bit too heavy on the PB and jam, but otherwise I think it looks fine. The carb cycling may help, and do you limit yourself to green leafy carbs for your last two meals? Otherwise, I'm as stumped as you!
I imagine Krypto will shed some light shortly!
Re: Things are moving the wrong way!!! Help!!
Thanks for your observations, and GoMom, don't be sorry for the questions, they're all good ones and I appreciate the help!!!
My workouts are pretty good, I think. Since starting the 13 week program, I've had to play around a bit to reach failure, but I've coerced my son into spotting me with exercises I was nervous about, so I've pretty much gotten there, maybe just took a few extra reps. I'm working on that one.
As far as how I feel outside the gym, I'm tired but not exhausted, and I do get pretty hungry about 2-3 hrs. after I eat. I've just finished TTOTM, the water bloat is usually gone by this point so I can't really blame it on that. I have been trying to limit my carbs to fibrous and leafy greens after meal 3. I was eating a sweet potatoe every day in addition to oatmeal for my starchy carbs, but then realized it pushed my carbs over the limit for the final ratio. Now I'm sticking with frozen mixed veggies.
I guess I'm questioning whether or not I truly want to be lifting as heavy as I am. I'm really quite happy with the amount of muscle I have right now. My legs are very thick, and I've got the ghetto booty [img]/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]. Although my legs have a layer of unwanted cellulite, if I flex and pose with the lights low (to hide the cottage cheese effect) I really like the silhouette I see- nice shape under there somewhere. And my upper body has finally managed to pick up some mass to balance me out a bit (my very first post on ABC was something like "how do I lose the fat on my lower body without looking like the walking dead from the waist up, lol!). My back has always been my strong point- my trainer used to tell me that I have a "show back". I really just need to strip away this fat to see where I am, then decide to bulk or maintain from there.
A quick question about carb cycling. Does this work with or independently from calorie cycling? In other words, on low carb days do I just tough it out and eat lower calories, or do I increase protein and/or fat to maintain cals but keep the carbs down?
Re: Things are moving the wrong way!!! Help!!
I dont know much about carb cycling. But if you are hungry 2-3 after eating, are you eating again...? An excellent protein source, starchy carb and some greens. Krypto is rubbing off on me...! Drinking lots of water? I know I dont, and that is way important! I know this sounds lame, but what is ghetto booty? lol! I am a chicken farmer...! I am outa touch! hahaha!
Re: Things are moving the wrong way!!! Help!!
Just by looking at your yesterday's entry:
Calories eaten: 1691
Calories burned: 2603
I see a big problem there.
Re: Things are moving the wrong way!!! Help!!
GoMom said: I know this sounds lame, but what is ghetto booty? lol!
Nice and round, like Jennifer Lopez's!
Re: Things are moving the wrong way!!! Help!!
I gained 6lbs since I quit my cardio in one months time. But mine was due to some LBM - cuz I was lifting heavy when while I cut it out [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I will know for sure when I take my caliper test on March 20th.
I am now up to 1800 calories:
Meal 1: 35P, 25C, 12F
Meal 2: 35P, 5C, 12F
Meal 3: 35P, 25C, 12F
Meal 4: 35P, 5C, 12F
Meal 5: 35P, 10C, 12F
My point, drop the cardio and regulate your metabolism. Then you can tweak it as you go and add cardio later when you start making the gains [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I was doing HIIT 3-4x a week for 40 minute sessions for 5months. Then I came here and got informed on diet and cardio. Trust me - I went NOWHERE and hindered all my gains by doing cardio before lifting (learned 4 months later s/b doing it "after" lifting) I just started doing
1 HIIT 30min and another cardio like swimming (legs only/backstroke 6 laps) or Lifecycle 9500/Level 11 for 30 min. session.
I am glad I did this (I was nervous during the whole ordeal! ask Krypto:) because my body composition is totally changing now [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Garrison House
I plan a trip to Niagara on the Lake this weekend. What is the latest word on the Garrison House?
Wow, you still haven't gone? :)
It's still good. And the burger and fries are still awesome.
re: TorontoJo
Was there a couple weekends ago on a Sunday evening and had a wonderful time.
The Shepard's Pie was outstanding - as well as the service
re: TorontoJo
Haven't gone yet. Sore back and other issues have held me up but the intention is still there. I think the burger and fries will do it. I find now that a burger and fries will usually keep me satisfied until noon the next day.
re: TorontoJo
Made it to the Garrison House this afternoon. Burger was great. Service could not have been better.
I first ate fish and chips about 1947 - 48 when my mother was sure that WW11 was over and quite likely the depression as well and so a few luxuries were in order. At that time new fish and chip stores were opening up like coffee shops or Thai restaurants do now. Back then the idea was make them good and not necessarily fast. I've been looking for over half a century to find french fries/chips like those made by the Scottish and English immigrants of that time. Now I know where to get them. About an hour and a half away but better than Highstreet in my opinion.
re: shekamoo
I hope you get the same quality that I did, Better than High Street is a tough standard to beat but they did yesterday.
re: Googs
Well how good food is depends on individual taste IMO. And the chips at Garrison House were the best I've had in over half a century. I've been to High street about a dozen times since they opened and I drove to Burnanthorpe several years ago which was an earlier location. For my taste Garrison had the best yesterday.
re: Herne
True, the chips at High Street usually need their gravy, but I would never complain about that. There is no such thing as too much gravy. Now the person who keeps eating the last steak and kidney pie before I get there, that's another matter. I have a bone to pick with them. I love that pie especially when I haven't had to do the cutting, cleaning, and stewing first.
We went for lunch a few weeks ago - I had the burger - TorontoJo's right - it is awesome. My husband had the trout & really enjoyed that. We started with the cheese curd fritters - you really can't miss with deep-fried cheese.
I'd recommend it, and will definitely be back.
Considering going here on Friday night (25th Jan) but I remember from my enquiries over the summer that they don't take reservations. Does anyone have any info about the wait times, for example at 8pm on a Friday? I have no idea how busy NOTL might be during the winter, even with the icewine festival!
re: gembellina
They will likely be full, but turnover is pretty good there (a lot of early diners) and there is usually space at the large bar.
If you are a beer drinker, you should make a point to try a beer from one of the two local craft breweries that opened recently: Oast House and Silversmith.
re: TorontoJo
Brilliant, thanks. I will take some snacks for the car journey so I don't get too snappy if we have to wait at the bar for a while! Beers sound great - bf will definitely enjoy.
re: gembellina
If you have time over the weekend, Silversmith is open to the public for the first time this weekend. Silversmith and Oast House are just a couple of kms apart on Niagara Stone Road, so it's a nice alternative to wine tasting, if you are so inclined.
Oh, and the fries ("chips" on the menu) at Garrison House are still fantastic. I have been known to order them for dessert.
You can also order the full menu at the bar, if you're feeling snappy. ;)
re: TorontoJo
We might try a beer tasting, I think after a day of icewine on Sat we might want something a bit more refreshing on Sunday. Hoping to check out Dillon's Distillery in Beamsville too for gin and rye.
re: TorontoJo
Was at the Garrison House this afternoon. Still great burgers and fries. Staff very friendly and helpful. Two burgers and 2 pints with tax came to just over $50. Also made it to Silversmith brewery--its in an old church on Highway 55.
Nice place and friendly staff again. Except for the heat it was a great afternoon.

Microsoft IT's Benefits of a Server Core Installation of Windows Server 2008
Published: March 07, 2008
The following content may no longer reflect Microsoft's current position or infrastructure. This content should be viewed as reference documentation only, to inform IT business decisions within your own company or organization.
Article, 116 KB, Microsoft Word file
Server Core is a minimal installation option for the Windows Server® 2008 operating system that does not provide a fully integrated graphical user interface (GUI) or other components and applications that are not required for supported server roles and features. A Server Core installation helps reduce the attack surface and allows for easier installation and configuration management.
Microsoft Information Technology (Microsoft IT) deployed Windows Server 2008 to help develop product usage scenarios and test the product's features and functions prior to release. A Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 supports Microsoft IT's vision of a standardized environment by improving the total cost of ownership and improving the delivery of services to the team's customer base. Microsoft IT received the following benefits from deploying a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008.
Reduced Management and Maintenance
By using the Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008, Microsoft IT administrators can now install a minimal Windows Server 2008 operating system environment. Because fewer applications and services are installed on a server running a Server Core installation, there is less to manage. This allows for a more robust and dependable server configuration.
Because there is no GUI included in a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008, Microsoft IT administrators must initially configure the system by using the tools within the Windows Automated Installation Kit, unattended installation, or command-line tools and scripts.
Microsoft IT administrators can also manage the Server Core installation remotely by using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins and tools from another computer running Windows Server 2008 by selecting the server running a Server Core installation as a remote computer.
Servers running a Server Core installation support development of management tools and agents, which can be divided into two categories:
- Remote management tools. These tools do not require any changes, as long as they use one of the protocols supported in Server Core installations to communicate with the remote management workstation, such as remote procedure call (RPC).
- Local management tools and agents. These tools may require changes to work with Server Core installations because they cannot have any shell or user interface dependencies, and they cannot use managed code.
Note: A Server Core installation can only be used to run the supported server roles and management tools. The Windows Server 2008 Software Development Kit (SDK) includes a list of application programming interfaces (APIs) that Server Core installations support.
Reduced Attack Surface
A Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 includes only a minimal number of services and applications that run on the server. This reduces the attack surface that is exposed to security threats in addition to reducing configuration errors. Having a reduced number of services also means that the server requires minimal software updates to stay up to date, which enables Microsoft IT to provide a higher degree of availability and reduce server downtime to remain security compliant.
Approximately 60 percent of the server updates available for Windows Server are for subsystems that are not part of a Server Core installation. The reduction in the attack surface of a Server Core installation gives the potential hacker far fewer options.
Fewer Hardware Resources
A Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 requires only a fraction of the disk space of a typical Windows Server 2008 installation. The initial Server Core installation consumes about 1 gigabyte (GB) of disk space, and an additional 2 GB of disk space is required for the additional roles and features.
Server Virtualization
To help reduce the cost of installing multiple operating systems in a test environment, the Server Core installation option for Windows Server 2008 now supports Hyper-V™ server virtualization technology. Hyper-V provides a stable virtualization platform that enables Microsoft IT to host multiple operating systems on a single server, including both Windows® and Linux operating systems.
The server virtualization technology enables Microsoft IT to maximize hardware utilization by providing the following advantages:
- Helps Microsoft IT to reduce the total amount of required hardware and helps reduce server management costs
- Enables Microsoft IT to create a flexible test environment to test various deployment and management scenarios
- Improves server availability by eliminating the need for additional physical computers
- Enables Microsoft IT to increase or reduce server resources in response to changes in demand
Improved Failover Clustering and Network Load Balancing
Microsoft IT took advantage of the improved failover clustering support available in a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 to help build redundancy and fault tolerance for services and applications that require them. The improvements to failover clusters (formerly known as Microsoft Cluster Server) in Windows Server 2008 are aimed at simplifying cluster creation and management to enable greater availability without an arduous amount of additional investment or expertise.
Microsoft IT uses Network Load Balancing (NLB) frequently to distribute network resource requests to multiple systems in order to optimize resource utilization, decrease response time, and help ensure content and service availability.

Antonio, Cristian, Sarah and Talia get revenge on Carlo and Jonas, Brody grows closer to Shane, and Todd and Tina are reunited...
Bo pays a visit to Statesville prison to see Lindsay, who is surprised to see him. Bo admits that Lindsay is paying for what she did then says, "Believe it or not… I came here to thank you. All of this made me realize that I've lived my life in a reaction to my father - even after he died." Over talk of why Bo asked her to marry him - to reclaim his life and not worry about what Asa would think - Bo admits how hurt he was over what Lindsay had done, and talks about how he ran away. "If I wouldn't have done that I wouldn't have found what I did… I found myself." Bo puts his hand to Lindsay's, against the dividing screen, then leaves Statesville, and Lindsay, behind.
Tess arrives at the police station, and tells John that he's wasting his time looking for a woman at Todd's house - one who doesn't exist. However, John wonders why 'Jessica' is trying so hard to convince him of that! Though Tess tries to leave, John asks about the baby, giving Tess the perfect time to bring up Nash - and how guilty Natalie feels for his death! Seeing the file on the mystery woman, Tess tries to take a peek, but John stops her and Tess ends up saying goodbye and cutting their visit short! Once Tess leaves, John makes a phone call asking someone when the 3-D construction of the missing woman will be ready! Suddenly, Bo arrives and says, "Good morning, Commissioner!"
When Todd arrives at Llanfair looking for Tess, he blows past Tina screaming for 'Jess', leaving Tina shocked by Todd's lack of interest in seeing her again. After Todd can't find Jessica, Tina talks about how much Jessica hates her and rants about how strange she's been acting. When Tina picks up the phone to report Jessica's behavior to Viki, Todd stops her, leaving Tina wondering why Todd is so protective of Jess - and in such a hurry to find her! Though Todd reminds Tina of all that Jessica has gone through, Tina still doesn't think it's a reason for Jessica to be so mean to her - and to David Vickers! "All he wanted to do was go down into the basement." Suddenly, Todd's interest is peeked and he wonders, "What's in the basement?" Tina doesn't know but listens as Todd warns her not to bother Viki with any of this - or to worry about Jessica throwing her out.
On Todd's way out, he runs into Tess who admits that she went to see John to reassure him that Todd isn't hiding anything! After Todd rants about her throwing up a red flag, Tess reminds him of the secret she's keeping for him - but Todd retaliates with the fact that she's Tess and asks what she's hiding in the basement!
In Mendorra, still dressed in the servant's outfits, Cris and Sarah awaken to find Talia and Antonio in bed. Although Cris and Sarah assure them that they've taken care of Carlo and Jonas, a knock at the door reminds them that it's time to take care of the second part of their plan!
Quickly, they work to get a passed out Jonas in bed with Talia then hide. Once Carlo's servant, Bitterman, enters the room and sees Talia and Jonas, Talia claims they consummated their marriage - and are now ready to take over the throne! The man then informs Talia that the World Press is there, and he's had trouble locating her father, to which Talia takes her stance as Queen and orders Bitterman to let the press in! After Sarah takes Talia to get Queen-Ready, Antonio and Cris look at Jonas and get ready for phase two of their plan!
Downstairs, in front of the press, Talia promises that she and her Prince will produce an heir then explains that Jonas and her father are very close and are out hunting boar as they speak. Talia then takes it upon herself to take the press on a tour of the palace - despite Bitterman's protest!
When Talia and the press reach the royal bedroom, they walk through the door and see Jonas and Carlo in each other's arms - in the royal bed! Talia appears shocked in front of the press, as Antonio smiles from the shadows!
Back at Llanfair, as soon as Tina's alone, Tina turns on the television then goes to the safe and kisses her crowned jewels. Suddenly, she sees a broadcast of Queen Talia of Mendorra and takes a seat in front of the TV. When Tina sees the image of Jonas and Carlo in bed, she says, "Oh, my…
Finally in 2008, in the ranch in Texas, Rex and Gigi talk about how to break the news that they are in love to Adriana - and how to tell Shane that Rex is his father! Although Gigi doesn't want to rush telling Shane, Rex doesn't want to waste another second being a father to his son. When Gigi talks about missing Shane so much, Rex urges her to call.
At the carriage house, Shane and Brody meet up in the living room, to which Shane shows Brody a special gift: A scrapbook of his childhood. Looking over old pictures of Shane, Shane talks about how they look like each other then reminds Brody that it wouldn't matter if they didn't - because once the test results come in it'll prove that Brody's his dad! Suddenly, Gigi calls Shane and promises to be home as soon as she can catch a flight. Once Brody gets on the phone, Gigi lays into him for telling Rex that they slept together then listens as Brody says that he doesn't want Rex ruining anything that he has with Shane! When Brody hangs up, he admits to missing Shane's mom as much as Shane does then suggests that they not tell her about the paternity test. While talking about Brod's life, the DNA results arrive - proving Brody's the father!
Once Gigi hangs up, she says to Rex, "How can I do this… Shane loves Brody," leaving Rex to gasp, "Are you saying that we shouldn't tell Shane that I'm his father?" That's not what Gigi's saying, but she worries the truth will be too much for Shane after thinking his dad died a hero. In the end, they decide to take things as they come and agree things will all work out.

WRIGHTSVILLE - Scott Stephens heard the roaring wind and saw a broken limb soar over his pecan trees before dashing inside to shelter his wife and daughters in a closet, where they huddled praying in the dark.Three minutes later it was over. The Sunday storm uprooted more than 20 of Stephens' pecan trees that were nearly a century old. It shoved the frame and roof of a 900-square-feet addition he was building to their home off its foundation. A toppled tree trunk squashed his pickup truck. 'I hadn't shed a tear in a long time, up until yesterday,' Stephens, 39, said Monday as he began cleaning up the debris littering his yard and pecan orchard in rural Johnson County. Powerful storms that tore more than 300 miles across Georgia early Sunday - from Carroll County on the Alabama border to the coast south of Savannah - killed two people, damaged an estimated 6,000 homes, causing about $50 million in insured losses, and left more than 40,000 people still without electricity Monday. Gov. Sonny Perdue has declared a state of emergency in 13 counties, making state resources available for response and recovery needs. They are: Bibb, Carroll, Clayton, Crawford, Douglas, Emanuel, Glynn, Jefferson, Jenkins, Johnson, Laurens, McIntosh and Twiggs counties. The same storm system killed 21 people in Oklahoma and Missouri over the weekend. About 100 people have died in U.S. twisters so far this year, the worst toll in a decade, according to the National Weather Service, and the season isn't over yet. Tornado season typically peaks in the spring and early summer, then again in the late fall. Johnson County, where 9,400 people live among small farms and vast acres of pine timber in central Georgia, was among six counties where the governor declared a state of emergency. County officials estimated at least 12 houses, most of them mobile homes, had been destroyed. About 6,000 people here remained without electricity, and therefore no way to power the private wells that provide them with fresh water, said Doug Eaves, the Johnson County administrator. Eaves estimated most county residents wouldn't have electricity restored until Wednesday or Thursday. 'We have a considerable need for potable water,' Eaves said. 'We're talking to the state about bringing in tankers for water we can use to flush toilets.' The storm ripped the top off the water tower in Wrightsville, 170 miles southeast of Atlanta, halving the city's immediate water supply. The sheriff's department was still using generators Monday to power radios and computers. The emergency management director was temporarily sidelined cleaning up extensive damage to his own home. Roadside crews with chainsaws and wood chippers worked Monday to clear debris from hundreds of pine trees that snapped like twigs. Hundreds more along the two-lane highways were bent noticeably to the east, marking the storm's path and direction. Three people required treatment for injuries, none of them life-threatening, said Sheriff Rusty Oxford. One of them, Keith Bryant, was trying to get his two stepdaughters out of their doublewide mobile home when a piece of flying debris struck him in the head. The storm lifted the home off its foundation of concrete blocks and sent it crashing to the ground in a mangled heap of wood, sheet metal and insulation about 20 feet away. 'The girls said it spun about five times and hit the ground hard,' said Pearl Oliver, 73, Bryant's mother-in-law. 'He said he doesn't remember. He was just walking.' Bryant and the girls, who were unharmed, walked from the wreckage to Oliver's brick house next door. She said Bryant was recovering at a hospital in Augusta. The National Weather Service said at least six of the storms produced tornadoes with winds between 120 and 130 miles per hour in areas such as Bibb, Clayton, Carroll and Laurens counties. It was surveying the damage in Johnson County on Monday to determine if a tornado had also touched down there. In neighboring Laurens County, Coroner Richard Stanley III identified a man who died there as Tracy Clements, who was in his 40s. He was found dead in the wreckage of his mobile home. His wife was hospitalized in critical condition in Macon. Their two grandchildren were treated for minor injuries and released Sunday, Stanley said. Astrid Hidalgo, 19, died in Gwinnett on Sunday afternoon after the top of a tree snapped in gusty winds and fell on her. She was dead at the scene when firefighters arrived, fire department spokesman Capt. Thomas Rutledge said. State Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine estimated there were 6,000 homes damaged and $50 million in insured losses statewide. Most of the 40,000 Georgia Power customers who remained without electricity Monday were in the Macon area, utility spokesman Jeff Wilson said. About 1,300 still had no power in metro Atlanta. He was unable to say when electricity would be restored. 'There's a lot of extensive damage,' said Oxford.
