I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Approximately 15 Coconino National Forest employees from the Flagstaff Ranger District and Supervisor's Office met on a chilly morning in early December to pitch in on a project located within Mexican spotted owl (MSO) habitat. Protected areas like this one, officially called "Protected Activity Centers" (or PACs), are areas across the forest where breeding Mexican spotted owls engage in their core activities, including nesting, roosting, and foraging.
The day's project work was held at the Mayflower PAC not far from Mormon Lake, a corridor renowned for its incredible wildlife populations, including elk, bald eagles, mule deer, black bears, and goshawks. A portion of the MSO PAC had been hand-thinned with chainsaws in October 2017. In accordance with the treatment prescription, the thinned trees and branches had been scattered across the landscape so that later prescribed burn operations would return nutrients from the cut trees back to the soil. However, upon review by fire experts, it was determined the combination of existing dead and down trees (mainly from bark beetle die-off) and the thinned trees left too much fuel on the ground to safely burn in a small, six acre patch of the treated area.
Led by silviculturist Mark Nabel, the employees set out to hand pile the newly cut trees and branches. They created piles seven to eight feet high, which will be allowed to settle and dry for at least a year before being burned individually. Once the piles are burned, the rest of the area can be safely treated with prescribed fire. The stands treated within this PAC are dominated by ponderosa pine, but also feature a lot of oak trees, an important tree species for the Mexican spotted owl. While some live tree losses are normally expected and desirable during a prescribed burn, managers want to take care to minimize the loss of oaks, particularly larger oaks, within the MSO PAC.
Employee work days are special events open to all employees who work for the Forest. These events give project managers the opportunity to get a lot of people out to help with light to moderate manual labor, like hand piling cut wood, building fences, naturalizing illegal roads, and similar tasks. The employees get the benefits of working directly with fellow employees from other programs and Districts, contributing to important stewardship projects, learning about other jobs in the forest, and taking a break from their normal work to spend some time outdoors.
This project area is part of the Four Forest Restoration Initiative (4FRI). Visit the 4FRI website at www.4fri.org for more information about this important restoration effort. Photo taken December 6, 2017 by Deborah Lee Soltesz. Credit U.S. Forest Service Coconino National Forest.

Approximately 100 students attended the biannual Honors Convocation Jan. 24 in the Morris Lawrence Building. Students are recognized for their hard work and dedication, as reflected by their grade point averages each semester.
Machu Picchu is comprised of approximately 200 buildings, most being residences,
although there are temples, storage structures and other public buildings. It
has polygonal masonry, characteristic of the late Inca period.
About 1,200 people lived in and around Machu Picchu, most of them women,
children, and priests. The buildings are thought to have been planned and built
under the supervision of professional Inca architects. Most of the structures
are built of granite blocks cut with bronze or stone tools, and smoothed with
sand. The blocks fit together perfectly without mortar, although none of the
blocks are the same size and have many faces; some have as many as 30 corners.
The joints are so tight that even the thinnest of knife blades can't be forced
between the stones. Another unique thing about Machu Picchu is the integration
of the architecture into the landscape. Existing stone formations were used in
the construction of structures, sculptures are carved into the rock, water flows
through cisterns and stone channels, and temples hang on steep precipices.
The Incas planted crops such as potatoes and maize at Machu Picchu. To get the
highest yield possible, they used advanced terracing and irrigation methods to
reduce erosion and increase the area available for cultivation. However, it
probably did not produce a large enough surplus to export agricultural products
to Cuzco, the Incan capital.
One of the most important things found at Machu Picchu is the intihuatana, which
is a column of stone rising from a block of stone the size of a grand piano.
Intihuatana literally means ‘for tying the sun", although it is usually
translated as "hitching post of the sun". As the winter solstice approached,
when the sun seemed to disappear more each day, a priest would hold a ceremony
to tie the sun to the stone to prevent the sun from disappearing altogether. The
other intihuatanas were destroyed by the Spanish conquistadors, but because the
Spanish never found Machu Picchu, it remained intact. Mummies have also been
found there; most of the mummies were women.
Few people outside the Inca’s closest retainers were actually aware of Machu
Picchu existence. Before the Spanish conquistadors arrived, the smallpox spread
ahead of them. Fifty percent of the population had been killed by the disease by
1527. The government began to fail, part of the empire seceded and it fell into
civil war. So by the time Pizarro, the Inca’s conquerer, arrived in Cuzco in
1532, Machu Picchu was already forgotten.
Machu Picchu was rediscovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, a professor from Yale.
Bingham was searching for Vilcabamba, which was the undiscovered last stronghold
of the Incan empire. When he stumbled upon Machu Picchu, he thought he had found
it, although now most scholars believe that Machu Picchu is not Vilcabamba.
Machu Picchu was never completely forgotten, as a few people still lived in the
area, where they were "free from

Approximately 40 Virginia National Guard Soldiers from the Fort Belvoir-based 29th Infantry Division gathered Feb. 5, 2012, at Fort Belvoir to conduct a Freedom Salute in honor of their service in Afghanistan. The Soldiers were assigned to NATO’s International Security Assistance Force Joint Command Security Partnering Team with the mission of assisting with the growth and development of the Afghan National Security Forces where they served as advisors and mentors to senior Afghan leaders. They were part of a NATO Coalition of 49 troop-contributing nations that Security Partnering personnel interacted with daily across Afghanistan. Approximately 72 Virginia and Maryland National Guard Soldiers who took part in the mission returned home to family and friends Oct. 27, 2011, after serving in Afghanistan since early December 2010. The Freedom Salute recognizes the Soldiers, their families, employers and organizations that contributed significantly to supporting the unit during its deployment. The Freedom Salute Campaign is one of the largest Army National Guard recognition endeavors in history, designed to publicly acknowledge Army Guard Soldiers and those who supported them during the President's call to duty for Operations Noble Eagle, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. As part of the Freedom Salute ceremony, the Soldiers received the Virginia Governor’s National Service Medal from Secretary of Public Safety Marla Graff Decker. Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Long, Jr., the Adjutant General of Virginia, and Maj. Gen. Frank E. Batts, commander of the 29th Infantry Division, also presented additional items to recognize Soldiers and their families for their service.
