Smart Workplace is a Rochester, NY based company specializing in consultation for injury prevention services. Our objective is to reduce workers compensation costs, claims and lost work days due to soft tissue injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, back pain, etc. Michelle Ross is an occupational therapist. Lisa Moore is a physical therapist. Together we are a team of medical professionals specially trained in human biomechanics as it relates to musculoskeletal function, work injury and disease. We are both trained as industrial ergonomic consultants beyond our professional degrees. Combined we have over 15 years experience treating musculoskeletal injuries. We serve as consultants to the Rochester Council on Occupational Safety and Health. We also offer training through the Rochester Chamber of Commerce.
What We Offer
Our mission at Smart Workplace is to prevent industrial musculoskeletal injuries from occurring and stop the endless cycle of workers compensation/disability, which is a lose/lose scenario. As a result of our program, injuries and claims will decrease, productivity will rise, lost workdays due to soft tissue injury will decrease and the overall profitability of your business will increase. These nationwide results have been demonstrated clearly since 1983.
Our program is highly comprehensive, addressing key issues such as exposure reduction, corporate culture, and management commitment. We will empower your employees to be responsible for the care of their bodies through education. Through understanding how their bodies tolerate work and mechanical stress, employees can understand how to prevent injury. Many companies have tried to reduce or prevent injuries with a simple ergonomics program. Ergonomics alone is ineffective and unrealistic. This is widely recognized among industry professionals. Many workstations or postures cannot be changed. However, those employees can still be protected from injury. Injuries are multifaceted and ergonomics is only one piece of the puzzle. Our approach focuses on a variety of techniques to reduce an employee's exposure to hazardous work postures while recommending only realistic and usually inexpensive design changes.
Management commitment is a key component to preventing/decreasing musculoskeletal injuries. Your management attitudes and policies may be knowingly increasing injury rates, lost work time and costs in your company. This is one of the most commonly unaddressed issues and will sabotage your "ergonomics only" approach. For example, a policy rewarding employees for zero reporting of injuries. This policy forces people to work with pain and past the fatigue level of injury. Complaints are most effectively managed at this level! At this stage, change is inexpensive and very effective, requiring no lost work time. When symptoms are ignored, your employees will likely wind up with a comp case, possible surgery, and high-lost work days and become a definite expense to your organization. We provide excellent and comprehensive management training so that your management is part of the solution, not part of the problem.
We are happy to meet with you at no cost to further discuss your specific questions and needs. Contact:

Calorie Calculator
What is the Calorie Calculator?
The calorie calculator estimates both your basal metabolic rate and amount of calories you need to gain, lose or maintain weight. This information is important because the amount you eat compared to the amount you burn is the only way to control weight. Weight plays a very important role in health; knowing how to control it helps you look great, and live a healthier life. Enter your weight, height, age, exercise level and gender into the form below.
What do these numbers mean?
The calorie calculator uses the Harris-Benedict equation to estimate the number of calories your body burns each day. It provides four key pieces of information: 1) basal metabolic rate, number of calories to 2) lose, 3) gain and 4) maintain weight.
What is basal metabolic rate (BMR)?
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body burns to simply stay alive. It is the amount of energy your body needs before physical activity is factored into the equation.
Your BMR is not as significant as the total amount of calories your body needs each day. Your weight moves based on the relationship between how many total calories your body needs and how many calories you eat.
How do I lose weight?
A calorie deficit is a state in which you burn more calories than you eat, leading to weight loss. A deficit of 500 calories means you burn 500 more calories than you eat each day (example: 2,500 calories burned, 2,000 calories eaten, 500 calorie deficit).
When the body is faced with a deficit of calories, it is forced to turn to non-food sources of energy (body fat) to make up the shortfall. Over time, the body burns enough fat to cause a noticeable drop in weight. You can create a calorie deficit by eating less, exercising more or combining both. The calorie calculator estimates your calorie intake based on a deficit of 500-750 calories per day.
How do I gain weight?
A calorie surplus is a state in which you eat more calories than you burn, leading to weight gain. A surplus of 500 calories means you eat 500 more calories per day than you burn (example: 3,000 calories eaten, 2,500 calories burned, 500 calorie surplus).
Extra energy causes weight gain. The body either stores extra energy as fat or uses it to build muscle and increase strength. Gaining muscle is a two step process: 1) create a calorie surplus and 2) strength train. A calorie surplus without exercise leads to excessive body fat. The calorie calculator estimates your calorie intake based on a surplus of 500-750 calories per day.
How do I maintain my current weight?
Maintaining weight happens when levels of energy consumption meet energy needs. Your weight remains the same if you create neither a surplus or deficit or energy.
Will these numbers work for me?
The calorie calculator is only an estimate. It is based on an equation that works for most, not all people. Estimates are not 100% accurate. The only way to figure out if these numbers work for you is to try them while monitoring your weight for an extended period of time.
Use the estimate as your calorie intake for three weeks. Weigh yourself at the same time at least every other day. Ignore fluctuations in your weight and instead, look at the overall trend. If at the end of the first three weeks you are satisfied with your weight, continue eating the same amount. If you are not satisfied, make the following adjustments:
Weight Loss
- if you are not losing weight, decrease your intake by 200 calories per day
- if you are losing weight too quickly, faster than two pounds per week, increase your intake by 200 calories per day
Weight Gain
- if you are not gaining weight, increase you intake by 200 calories per day
- if you are gaining weight too quickly (accumulating too much fat), decrease your intake by 200 calories per day
Weight Maintenance
- if you are losing weight, increase your intake by 200 calories per day
- if you are gaining weight, decrease your intake by 200 calories per day
Monitor your weight for an additional two weeks and repeat this process if necessary. When you repeat this process, make smaller adjustments to your intake (100 calories per day instead of 200).
My Fitness Pal is an easy and free way to monitor your calorie intake and weight.
The Bottom Line
Calorie balance is the "magic" that makes weight loss and weight gain happen. There is no way around these numbers. Weight plays a very important role in a healthy lifestyle. We know that obesity causes heart disease, stokes, cancer and type 2 diabetes. It is therefore crucial to understand how these numbers work and to adapt them into your everyday life.

Marion, IL - United States
Thanks so much for sharing in great detail. I love to collect information about great images and from such skilled artists.
Alexandria, VA - United States
Thanks to all of you for your comments. Wanda, I'll start with my lens first. Since Aug. 2008 I've used a Canon 5D with the zoom lens (24-150mm) that comes with the camera. That's it. Before that date, I used a Nikon Coolpix 8400 with a fixed zoom. No other lenses. I have images from both cameras on my site. Technique includes shooting in raw, occasionally using a ND filter if the sky is much brighter than the land, and occasionally using a tripod (in very low-light situations). I mostly use the 24mm wide-angle setting at F11 aperture for landscapes. I prefer to shoot in early morning (hour before and hour after sunrise) and evening (hour before and hour after sunset) although I can't always do that so try to make the best of it regardless of the time and weather. I shoot with natural light--no flash (don't even have a flash). Processing is both with Corel PaintShop and Adobe Photoshop 7.0. I toggle back and forth between the two until I am satisfied with the image. Can spend a lot of time on one image to even the light, retrieve detail in the brights and shadows (if warranted), and achieve a pleasing color balance. I don't do HDR although some think I do. I prefer to keep the processing to a reasonable minimum to avoid unnatural effects and digital artifacts, depending on the subject and my intent for the image. Exceptions to this are always lurking. I usually avoid the over-processed, even garish, look. I find that my eye is evolving (as a relative newcomer to digital) and what used to look fine to me may look like over-donel now. That's about it--hope this helps.
Marion, IL - United States
Great perspective, lovely colors of gold and blue, nice division of the frame. The log in the front helps to emphasize the magnificent depth of field. Can you share your techniques and choice of lens?

NY Mag - School of Visual Arts MFA student Marc Bradley Johnson was all set to debut his final piece, titled Take This Sperm and Be Free of Me, before health concerns thwarted everything he'd worked so hard for. First, Johnson accessed his materials. Then he set up a refrigerator at SVA's Visual Arts Gallery in Chelsea, loaded it with 68 vials of his own semen, and put up a Craigslist ad alerting the public that anyone could walk in and take a part of him home. It was about "creation, parenting, desire, masculinity, fantasy, and reality," he said. But his liberal Manhattan art school just saw dangerous waste.
"I've been working on this for months," Johnson told Daily Intelligencer, "Somewhat ironically — it's just masturbating and calling it artwork." He said his professors were well aware and that he'd shown the work multiple times in class critiques. "This isn't unprecedented," he said. "There is plenty of bio-hazardous work in the art world."
When the issue of safety was first raised by SVA's assistant director of student galleries, Richard Brooks, Johnson even agreed to microwave the vials. "You can only microwave for eight seconds before it bubbles over the container," Johnson said. "The semen is dead. The swimmers are not swimming. While I try to do absurd things, I'm not interested in doing reckless things."
The vials were sealed, labeled, and placed in Brooks's office until a waste-management firm could arrange a pickup. Johnson, who was raised Mormon and attended undergrad at BYU ("where figure drawing classes models wore bikinis or speedos") immediately claimed censorship. "I am happy that he had to sit with 68 vials of my cum in his presence," he said.
I'm not going to start off with the obvious joke here and say something like if masturbating a lot and getting cum everywhere makes you an artist you can call me Pablo fucking Picasso. Won't do it. Too mature for that. I will say instead that the School of Visual Arts has a lot of nerve here taking this kid's jizz fridge away from him. I mean you're an art school right? Seen any modern art lately? It's literally just blank canvases, big blue squares, a pencil inside a box. A guy just fucking standing there is called an amazing masterpiece. Stupidest shit ever that requires 0 time and energy. At least this guy put some effort in. Sat himself down 68 times, picked out 68 Youjizz porns after scanning what had to be thousands of thumbnail screenshot montages, carefully masturbated into a vial, stored it in a fridge. Even gave it a legit title to evoke emotion. Take This Sperm and Be Free Of Me. Beautiful. Guess the art world just isn't ready for a masturbationary visionary like Marc Bradley Johnson. 10,20, 100 years from now every home in America will have a vial of Marc's cumshot framed on their wall and we'll be telling tales of his artist persecution in 2013.

Latus Motors Reviews: "You've Earned A Lifelong Customer!"
Last updated 1 year ago

Latus Motors Reviews: New Review on Google Places
Last updated 1 year ago
I have been a long time customer of Latus HD. This last June I crashed my 2003 Roadking. The worst thing of the accident was the bike was total loss. After ridding the scoot for 75000 miles and lots of work completed by Mike Stegmann the bike was like loosing my best friend. Thanks to Marshall and Bobby over at the collison shop the insurance process was completed without any problems. So moving on to a new bike I puchased a 2011 Road Glide Ultra. After ridding the new bike for 4000 miles I spent some time talking engine upgrades with Mike Stegmann. Following Mike's recommendations the decision was made to install SE Air Cleaner kit, SE 255 Cams, SE 4" exhaust, SE race tuner and have Mike Dyno tune the bike. The results of the upgrades took the dyno numbers from stock Max Torque 90.95 Max Power 72.67 to Max Torque 104.14 Max Power 88.02. The bike runs excellent ...

Last updated 1 year ago
After a collision, I had my motorcycle taken to Latus. When it arrived at the shop on a tow truck, Marshall called me to let me know they got it. and he was starting the estimate. I was kept informed at all steps in the process of the repairs. The bike came home today ( delivered because I still can not ride ). The bike looks beautiful, as if the process was all a dream. The collison center is the best!!! and although I hope I never need them again. they will always have my business. They made me feel like a best friend, not a customer. They turned a bad experience into a good memory. Thank you
New Five Star Review For Latus Motors
Last updated 1 year ago
I ran a tire weight in my rear tire Tues. the 7th crossing 181st and Stark at about 3:45pm. Call the Latus HD shop, did they have a trailer to come get me, yes, when, now, really, yes now. About 4pm there were loading my bike in their trailer headed back with me to their service dept. When I got their, the paper work was started, the guys took the bike back and said they would get it done, even if some had to work some over! This was a little after 5pm. I road out of their lot at 6pm, new tire, bike checked over. I have ordered a front tire, to match the new Dunlop Elite 3 they put on the rear. Back in next week to do that. Hey, no extra charge for the rescue! These guys Fear No Service, second time they rescued me, several years ago in Pacific City, blew a clutch cage on a Eve in the late afternoon. They were in Pacific City at 10AM the next day to get the bike. Thanks guys, I know I can count on top notch service at Latus HD, Fair pricing and professional work, and a get'r done attitude ... No Problem!

My first experience with Latus Motors was awesome. Teresa in Service was always there to assist and facilitate the parts for the bike, Mike stayed right up to closing to help me with a handlebar adjustment, and Mike W, went out of his way to help load and get me down the road. Special thanks to Jason for the service. Your team is tops

Time clearly hasn't worked its healing powers on Sean Penn's heart.
In the new issue of Esquire, the two-time Oscar winner opens up about his struggle to come to terms with the end of his marriage to Robin Wright. (The pair wed in 1996 and divorced in 2010; Penn was also married to Madonna from 1985 to 1989.)
"There is no shame in saying that we all want to be loved by someone. As I look back over my life in romance, I don't feel I've ever had that," the "Gangster Squad" star says. "I have been the only one that was unaware of the fraud in a few of these circumstances blindly."
Although the actor doesn't mention "Moneyball" star Wright, 46, by name, Penn confesses the couple was forced to acknowledge some uncomfortable facts about their relationship during the drawn-out divorce process.
PHOTOS: Remember these '80s/'90s stars?
"When you get divorced, all the truths come out, you sit there and go, 'What the f--- was I doing? What was I doing believing that this person was invested in this way?' Which is a fantastically strong humiliation in the best sense," he says. "It can make somebody very bitter and very hard and closed off, but I find it does the opposite to me."
Things took a turn for the worse following Penn's split from Wright: less than one year later, their son Hopper, 19, was involved in a serious skateboarding accident. (The pair are also parents to daughter Dylan, 21.)
"It had already been eight months of divorce and s--t, and raising a kid that's going through the divorce himself, and then this f---ing thing happens . . . it was a tough, tough time," Penn confesses.

When everything else in his life felt bleak, the actor says his Haiti activism helped put things -- including his heartbreak and his son's accident -- into perspective.
"The road started with the most obvious kind of trauma -- my son's head -- and then to get to a place that had been just so devastated and traumatized, and then to see that in fact most of the trauma actually predated the earthquake," the founder of J/P Haitian Relief Organization shares. "You had a country that had never experienced anything that related to comfort, and out of that you had great trauma -- but also this great strength that, I think, we all benefited from."

A New Jersey News 12 broadcast detailed what appeared to be inaccuracies about the Barnegat resident's actions on 9-11 and subsequent actions.
"The truth will come out," he tweeted. "How is it my stories are false that the affidavits needed are in my attorney's hands."
Giles also blasted social media sites.
"It's a shame that certain Social Media sites i.e., Facebook allows people to Cyber Bully them and now Stalk their home," he tweeted. "I am done with this."
A Port Authority police officer, now retired, told News 12 yesterday evening that that Giles' claim he was pulled alive from the World Trade Center rubble is untrue.
The story appeared on News12, and a second half is scheduled for tonight.
"I never saw the person, never met the person; I was never inside the building," he says.
For years, Giles has claimed he was pulled alive from the rubble of the North Tower after the World Trade Center attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, by a Port Authority officer, number 1236.
In the segment, News12 questions Giles on his description of being in the North Tower and how he has claimed to meet the officer, identified as Mark Meier.
Giles then notes in the segment that it was possible he got the badge number wrong.
"Jay I was having a miserable day till I heard your monologue and saw JayWalking! Thanks for helping me laugh tonight."
Come back to Patch later for more information on this developing story.

My only concern is that regardless of how the NO game goes..we are poised to go to the playoffs in one capacity or another unless there is a total breakdown of this team in the next few weeks.
And yet, Williams/Jstew/and Tolbert are banged up. Granted, none of their issues seem to be serious, but yet with the prospect of not only playoffs, but hopefully going deep into the playoffs or dare I say to the Superbowl...I would hope that JStew (whom hasnt been doing much but resting all season) could play at least 1 game here he wasnt injured/resting/being held out because of precautionary reasons.
I think this is why many seem to be worried about Stewert. When the guys that have been getting the vast majority of carries all season (Williams/Tolbert) are taking a bit of rest and nursing football injuries, Stewert who has been riding a bike on the sideline most of the season comes in hopefully to revitalize the corp...only to play a game and go right back to the sideline afterward.
Honestly, I dont know nor care if he plays or not. Point is... at this point in the season with hopes of going further after December...to have a guy who is supposed to be rested and ready to play join the banged up and questionable list does not bode well for our playoff hopes in my opinion

Light Bulb
Huddle bulbshades bring the city into your home
Downtown: the lights are much brighter there, and you can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares ... but what if downtown – indeed, an entire cityscape – could be brought into your home? That's just what Netherlands-based designer David Graas offers with his Huddle LED bulbshade. Read More
Just over a week ago we reported that Philips' 22 W LED light bulb, designed as a like-for-like replacement of a 100-W incandescent light bulb, was the first LED bulb of its type to receive the stamp of approval from Energy Star. But looking at the Energy Star requirements reported by Philips in its press release, it seemed a little strange that Philips' product is the only one to have been certified – given that products long on the market appear, at face value, to meet those requirements. Since then, Gizmag has spoken to LED light bulb makers Switch Lighting and other industry players to find out why they're apparently playing catch-up. Read More
Philips has announced that its 22-watt LED lightbulb is the first 100-watt tungsten equivalent bulb to have been awarded Energy Star certification. Often referred to as the A21, which is actually just one of several standard forms for light bulbs that this bulb happens to conform to, Philips' 22-W bulb puts out "nearly" 1,800 lumens for an efficacy of about 82 lumens/watt (lm/W). It's a fine spec, but not too dissimilar to the competition, which raises the question of why Philips' product has been singled out. Read More
NanoLight claims to be world's most efficient light bulb
Until recently LED light bulb manufacturers have struggled to find a solution in the 75 to 100-watt range which successfully replaces the soon-to-be redundant, energy crunching 100 W incandescent bulb in terms of size and brightness. Three friends from the University of Toronto are the latest to offer a feasible product to match the classic 100 W bulb without compromising on electricity consumption with their proposed NanoLight LED light bulbs. Read More
The Lumen Smart Bulb bets on light entertainment
Combining the power of smartphones, LED light bulbs, wireless and remote control technology has inspired designers to come up with smart solutions such as LIFX, Philips' hue light bulbs and INSTEON. The Lumen Smart Bulb project, currently raising funds via indiegogo, aims to add one more option to the wireless-enabled LED market, while betting on home entertainment and well-being to score extra points. Read More
Purveyors of fine home automation technology INSTEON claim to be first to market with a "networked remote control dimmable LED light bulb". Compatible with any INSTEON remote control, the bulb can also be paired with INSTEON's free iOS and Android app so that it can be turned on, off, or dimmed, using most contemporary smartphones. Read More
Following Gizmag's coverage of GE Lighting's 27 W Energy Smart and Switch Lighting's 100 W-replacement LED light bulbs, Osram Sylvania has been in touch to tell us about its 100 W-replacement LED light bulb, joining its Sylvania Ultra series: a 20 W, 1600 lumen light bulb with a warm, "incandescenty" color appearance of 2700 K. With Philips also to release a 100-W equivalent this means the big three manufacturers of light sources are joining Switch Lighting in offering high-output LED light bulbs for the home, but all things considered, Osram Sylvania's may prove the pick of the bunch. Read More
GE Lighting has announced that it is getting in on the 100 W-equivalent LED replacement act. The 27 W Energy Smart LED bulb joins its range of incandescent bulb replacements that already includes 40 W and 60 W equivalents. And like an incandescent bulb, GE claims its LED bulb emits light evenly in all directions. But how does the 100 W equivalent stack up performance-wise? Read More
Combining lighting with audio by using a light socket to power a wireless speaker is a two-in-one approach that appears to be gaining traction and this latest example - the Sound of Light speaker - grabbed our attention on both the functionality and aesthetic fronts. The Sound of Light system uses a Texas Instruments 2.4 GHz Purepath Digital Signal Transmitter to set up a wireless link between an audio device such as an MP3 player, smartphone or tablet and up to four speakers within a 300 ft range.

Guide To General Forum Conduct & Warning Avoidance Keys
All things motor racing, including Formula 1 results, MotoGP and Le Mans.
Announcements | Posted on |
Guide To General Forum Conduct & Warning Avoidance Keys
It has been suggested on occasion that some confusion exists regarding just what constitutes appropriate conduct on the forum and why it should be so. In response, the moderation team is quite happy to clear up such uncertainty for the benefit of all concerned. I know it seems like a long read guys but it's important and I ask you kindly to just take five minutes out, digest it, and take especially close notice of the keys in bold.
There are some major keys to remember in avoiding warnings and becoming an exemplary member of TSR Motorsports.
Two of them stand out as immediately important, and reveal the core of how to use the forum properly and make the most of it: Personally insulting a user is a very different matter to criticising their post in an appropriate, responsible manner. Please try and remember that - the vast majority of warnings and alerts come as a result of personal insults, not things against post content (see the definition of trolling, below) so try to ensure you make a clear difference in any posts by being especially aware of your tone. Never make personal remarks - ALL opinions are important and a free forum relies primarily on an ability to agree to disagree.
Everything else stems from that basis. Let's go into it a little further, and unwrap what exactly constitutes general conduct becoming of the forum. In general terms it just means you should be nice to people! But it also demands you use your common sense and remember those around you. If you are abusive to others on the forum, then you'll get warned. Devolving that further, abuse can be anything as simple as calling someone an idiot to swearing at them - how you anticipate the other person to react should be paramount in your thoughts prior to posting. If you know them, and mean it as a joke, fun all around. If you are angry at them and mean it, then that's a very different matter.
Even the simplest of remarks, however innocuous, can cause massive trouble if one or two react badly. So it's important to use your common sense, anticipate reactions to your wording, and try to develop knowledge of the posters along such lines. It sounds complicated but in reality just means you should think before you post.
Let's look at some practical examples. First of all, though the swear filter allows you to include swearing in your posts, whatever you do don't swear at someone with abusive intent. If you're upset with someone's remarks, however strong or light, swearing at them along the lines of "you %%%%%%%%ing idiot" will get you a warning. Removing the "idiot" and saying something like "shut the %%%%%%%% up" is again hardly nice and shall result inevitably in warning points being issued.
Secondly, minus the swearing, just using offensive terms such as "idiot", "moron", "cock", "bastard" etc. directed at another user will garner a warning. Again, think before you post, use your common sense, and treat others as you yourself would wish to be treated. TSR can be a wonderful place to make friends if you just extend a little kindness; why spend your time testing the fences and being nasty for the sake of it? There's also the quality of posting to take into account; we want to talk about motorsport, not spend our time insulting one another, surely? Not only will the warning points add up, but your time on the site will sadly be very short. We genuinely don't want that, so please be good to the people around you and remember that we all have something in common - the love of the sport - regardless of differentiated allegiances or viewpoints.
There is a particularly major offence known as trolling. Most of you reading this will know what it is, but for some of the newer ones a quick definition may come in handy: trolling is a deliberate attempt to inflame users by making regularly insensitive, offensive, or abusive posts, directed at whatever the posters hold dear. Your freedom to discuss things openly does not extend to inflaming situations, seeking to provoke others, or to goading them about a loss etc. Excuses such as "it's not my fault they react badly to me telling them the truth" won't cut it, I'm afraid - you have an adult responsibility to be sensitive to the situation around you. I'm likely to look just as poorly, if not more so, on acts of provocation as I am to posts of retaliation.
To use an example, let's say I was unwise enough to wander into TSR Football, then onto the Liverpool society just after they lost the Cup Final and started taking the mick. The fine line between banter and trolling will be dictated partly by your sensitivity to the situation. It doesn't take a genius to suggest that the Pool fans would be extremely upset and, here's the important factor, highly sensitive given the situation to any such posts. You should always be aware of that. So, remembering all of the above comes in handy - common sense, thinking before you post, a sincere wish to treat others as you yourself would wish to be treated, and a degree of sensitivity to the situation all absolutely concur that making nasty posts at such a time would be a very bad idea. Your knowledge of the sport itself as well as the forum as time goes on will also make clear when jokes are jokes, and when things are often taken much more seriously; you have to make appropriate judgements relative to the situation.
But, to use the TSR Football analogy further, what if you're the Liverpool fan drowning your sorrows after the cup final, seeing some self-congratulatory troll make inflammatory posts on your society? First of all it's important to remember that if it upsets you, under no circumstances should you reply like for like abuse on the forum. Instead, that's where we come in - the moderators. On the user bar of each post there is a small, round symbol with an exclamation mark in the middle - that's the warning marker. If you see a post which contravenes any of the above rules then hit that button and rather than feed the troll report them. We as mods are empowered to deal with such activity in an appropriate, disciplined manner; if you reply like for like, then it will only get worse, perhaps even to the extent where both of you receive warnings for similar offences. Finally, it should also be pointed out somewhat heavily regarding such abusive posts that if in doubt, report. If you genuinely feel the post concerned contravenes the rules then use the system without hesitation - in fact, it is always good to assume the responsibility of helping others on the forum by just such moderator assistance. Good reporting is a much underestimated skill and you'll learn a lot about how the forum works, what things are right and wrong - and indeed why they are such - by helping us out. This doesn't only extend to making post reports, but also of subtly helping to direct conversations back on topic - please post in the midst of these situations on the real matter at hand - the motorsport - and quite often, if you keep at it, the difficulty will diffuse itself. Your posts may at first look out of place and get lost, but short burst posts of pure sporting related matter will eventually get taken up by others and propel the thread back on topic; for example, ask short questions referring to the event in question so you provide a ready made platform for topic continuance. The shortness is important because it allows you to post quickly and in enough quantity to encourage quick resumption of normal order. Keep at it and don't be intimidated. The forum dynamic is such that a steady flow of posts can effectively break flame wars up quite easily, so please don't hesitate to help keep threads on topic; don't get involved in arguments, but help to dissolve them by getting involved in the thread topic. It's not just my job, but part of our collective responsibility to the site as adults. I'd also like to point out that it's important to make every effort to welcome new members and help them to feel comfortable in their surroundings; this is something anyone can do with just a little kindness and some smilies.
So, to finalise, let's recap the main keys to general forum conduct . . .
* Personally insulting a user is a very different matter to criticising their post content in an appropriate, responsible manner.
* Agree to disagree.
* Use your common sense and remember those around you.
* Think before you post.
* Treat others as you yourself would wish to be treated.
* Under no circumstances should you reply like for like abuse on the forum.
* Rather than feed the troll report them.
* If in doubt, report.
* Assume the responsibility of helping others on the forum.
* Don't get involved in arguments, but help to dissolve them by getting involved in the thread topic.
The use of all these keys should, when combined, stand to help TSR Motorsports create an enjoyable atmosphere of which everyone can be rightly proud. You all have many individual talents; some of you have especially acute knowledge of the sport, histories, drivers, minority information and trivia etc., and all these things really can do so much more than may be immediately apparent for those around you.

Mentor In The Backfield
Sammy Morris (Ronald C.Modra/Getty Images)
The Sports Xchange
Posted Aug 26, 2011
The Patriots have a logjam at running back with all of the new faces on the roster. What roles will they all play? Well, Sammy Morris and Kevin Faulk have already adopted theirs.
It wasn't too long ago that
Sammy Morris
was surrounded by guys like himself, aging versatile running backs in the New England backfield. But the times, they are changing for Tom Brady's ballcarriers. And that's left Morris serving as much as player/coach as simply competing for a job.
As the lone true veteran on the practice field -
Kevin Faulk
is on PUP as he recovers from reconstructive knee surgery - the 12th-year veteran Morris has found himself answering plenty of questions from the young backs like third-round pick
Stevan Ridley
and undrafted rookie Richard Medlin. But his mentoring goes well beyond the just playbook and practice field.
"I mean to me that's not even about football, that's just kind of just who I am," Morris said after a recent practice of his role as a mentor. "That's just the kind of guy Kevin is. I just think I'm always trying to help with whatever I can. That's even, even if it's getting the young guys clothes. They don't have dress shirts and stuff. So I had to get clothes for Ridley and Medlin. I think it's just kind of guys that we have."
The kind of guys they have is somewhat different than in some previous years. At this time a year ago
Danny Woodhead
was still a Jet,
BenJarvus Green-Ellis
was still rather unproven and the heart of the backfield was the thirty-somethings in Morris, Faulk and now departed
Fred Taylor
as well as first-round disappointment
Laurence Maroney
Now, Green-Ellis is coming off a 1,000-yard season in which he scored 13 touchdowns. Woodhead returns after finishing the season as a key, dynamic change-of-pace playmaker on the Patriots attack. Though now entrenched as clear options for offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien, neither is quite to the point where they'd be considered well-established veterans.
Add in Ridley, second-round pick
Shane Vereen
(who's missed most of camp with a reported hamstring injury) and Medlin and there's quite a unique mix of talent, and experience, on the running back depth chart.
One similarity between all the backs - and all players at all positions this fall - is that they're trying to get ready for the season on the fly.
"I think overall we have a good group," said Morris, who had a limited role on offense in 2010. "Obviously we have some young guys that are kind of put in a difficult situation not having all the mini-camps and all that. But I think they're picking it up well and just with the vets that we have I think we're trying to get back into it. That's what Kevin and I and Bennie...against Jacksonville it was kind of crazy a little bit I think I had three practices before playing an actual game. We're getting a lot thrown at us but I think we're responding well."

The unique season and transitional nature of the backfield means the coaching evaluations at the position could also be challenging.
"It's kind of surprising, I guess, that I would say this, but the guy we've seen the most of is BenJarvus," coach Bill Belichick said. "Sammy's role is a diverse one. Woody, we saw a lot of last year, but not in training camp. He came in in the middle of the season, so we'd really like to see what his full value to the team would be with an entire training camp - knowing the system and really being able to build off his experience from last year."
The Patriots have used a committee approach to the backfield in recent years, and that will likely continue in 2011 in some shape and form. Belichick said if you have a guy like Jim Brown as your running back he can do everything. Otherwise, you have to put the various backfield bodies into the roles they're most suited to fill.
"We'll try to evaluate them relative to each other and relative to the group," Belichick said of working the young guys into the mix. "Any time you have a set of backs, you have some complementary situations: first, second, third, fourth down, as it relates to blitz pickup, pass routes and so forth, special teams and so on.
"You just evaluate each guy and then ultimately, you have to put them all together and figure what's best of your team. (There're a) lot of jobs there; even though it's one position, there're a lot of jobs."
One way the young backs will get better is to continue to lean on their veteran teammates to learn from the knowledge that Morris and Faulk can impart from their combined 23 years in the NFL. Morris says he and Faulk have impressed on the young backs that while they're all competing for jobs and roles with the team, the veterans are willing to play that important role of mentor.
"That's what Kevin and I said, we definitely tried to impress upon them early that you can't ask us too much," Morris said. "If it's 10 o'clock at night or 10 o'clock in the morning, in a meeting...just fire away."

The right wine choice can really complete a meal, bringing out unexpected flavours and adding to the gamut of tastes you experience. Choosing the right wine can be a fine art, particularly with Indian cuisine where you already have bold and controlling flavours to begin with!
As many of you know, we have a "bring your own" policy when it comes to drinks at The Spice Club. Some guests have found selecting the right wine to bring and match with Indian food a little bit tricky and understandably so..walking down the wine aisle of a super market can be confusing when there is so much variety available on the shelves nowadays.
I also used to feel a little confused about choosing wine until I took a few wine tasting classes (which contributed as credits to my undergraduate degree may I add!). These classes cut through the "snobbery" that is sometimes associated with drinking wine and cut straight to the chase so at the end of the course I had (what I considered) a pretty decent understanding of pairing wine with food and most importantly, establishing the sort of wine I liked and didn't like.
To help you in your wine pairing journey, I thought I would clear the choice-fog with some personal suggestions and also the recommendation from wine expert, Omar from Didsbury Wine Club (a great wine club that holds regular wine tastings in Didsbury).
My personal favourite wine to drink with Indian food is a German Riesling. It's quite sweet white wine which I find compliments the spiciness of Indian food really well. Also, it goes well with vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes which works quite well as an all rounder at our supper clubs as we serve a diverse range of dishes. I also love Gewurztraminer-this is another German white wine. (It's names apparently translates as "spice traminer"). Again being fairly sweet in taste, I love how this wine cuts through the spices in Indian food. Also, I always think Gewurztraminer tastes like lychees (I heart lychees) which is just another reason that is is one of my favourites!
So enough of what I think, let's see what our wine expert's suggestions are…
Omar says: For meatier dishes, I would suggest Shiraz because it is a red that goes very well with spicy bold dishes. It is in itself slightly spicy and tannic and so compliments the spice and heat in the dishes..Shiraz is always a good choice as it works well with Indian food without overpowering the food or being overpowered whilst enhancing the dining experience. Champagne or a good Cava is also great paired with Indian food as their texture just works brilliantly with a dishes with complexity and varying levels of spice!
I hope this has helped you a little bit and guided you a little bit in the right direction. If you have any questions about wine or upcoming supper clubs, feel free to drop me a line.

ELBRIDGE, N. Y. – Tuesday, October 8, 2013 – For this year's NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week XLIII, Billy Decker hit the ground running. The Unadilla, N. Y., driver, who won the pole in last year's running of the Syracuse 200, kicked off his week with a win at Rolling Wheels Raceway Park.
"It's been way to long," said Decker, whose claimed his last Super DIRTcar Series win in June of 2011. "We pride ourselves in these Super DIRTcar Series races. We weren't the best car, but it feels good to win tonight – I'm doggone tickled-to-death."

Florence and the Machine at Lollapalooza 2012 | Photos and music review
What Florence and the Machine delivered Sunday night was nothing short of legendary. Led by the charismatic Florence Welch, the British group demonstrated an impeccable technical performance while fostering an amazing audience-performer relationship. The set ultimately drew what's being cited as the largest crowd that stage has ever seen. This, folks, is what will be played and replayed as big-screen filler for years to come at Lollapalooza. Future festival performers, take note.
Before the set even began, a record-breaking crowd had already formed. Stretching all the way back to the street and expanding onto the Playstation stage, the scene easily trumped the combined audiences for headliners Black Sabbath and Avicii—times five. While the numbers were staggering, it was Welch's performance that confirmed she was worth the trouble of being overcrowded.
She took the stage like what can only be described as a Mucha painting come to life. From her ethereal gown and perfectly coiffed hair to the Art Nouveau stage decoration, even her movements seemed to be taken from the Czech artist's catalog of poses. Opening with "Only If For A Night," Welch's poise and eye for theatricality set a very high standard. She stayed rather stoic at the mic until the chorus of "Cosmic Love" caused her to erupt into action, skipping from one side of the stage to the other while still hitting and sustaining every note. Though frenzied, each motion seemed graceful and balletic, offering further depth to a well-crafted performance.
But what really brought the set to legendary heights was Welch's consistent interaction with the crowd. She repeatedly doled out bizarre tasks, but delivered her requests with such conviction and earnestness that nobody dared defy her. "Rabbit Hole (Raise It Up)" had her insist the crowd deliver "human sacrifices" by raising bodies up. Suddenly, there were hundreds of people on the shoulders of their neighbor, bobbing up and down to the beat. Later, Welch asked the audience to embrace, then giddily announcing, "Look! They're snogging!" when two attendees got wrapped up in the moment. Towards the end of the set, in a manner that can only be likened to teaching the Von Trapp children how to sing, Welch gave a detailed description of her next task: jumping. Amazingly, she was able to get tens of thousands of people to obey her every command.
Amidst the antics, the set remained strong. Highlights included "What the Water Gave Me," "Spectrum," and of course, "Dog Days Are Over." A climactic moment came with the debut live performance of the single "Breath of Life" off the Snow White and the Huntsmen soundtrack. With all of the above elements working seamlessly together, the entire northern side of the festival was in utter rapture. Ultimately, Florence and the Machine provided something previously unthinkable: a headlining performance during the daylight.
