Barnbank Lane Stafford Uk 5th April 2013
This morning on CBC Victoria, they announced a contest to win tickets
to Feast of the
Fields : tell them what you would cook as a local food dish. As I
thought about what I could enter in the contest to win the tickets, I
was cooking breakfast and mulling over whether to enter a recipe
using some of Tom Henry's pork or my chickens or Lorea Tomsin's lamb...
Then I realized that my breakfast is mostly local. So here it is.
Tom Henry's Metchosin bacon, peaches from a friend's backyard,
tomatoes from Metchosinite Dieter Eisenhawer, onion bread made by
Langford baker and friend, Ray Drone, my eggs: left a chicken egg and
right a guinea fowl egg and coffee from (!) Saltspring Island coffee
company with cream from Vancouver Island's Avalon Dairy! If I'd
chosen my other loaf of bread, from the Roost in Saanich, even the
wheat would have been local!!
My food is the essence of "eating local": not a special dish or a one
time meal, just about everything.
PS. I didn't win, so I guess they wanted a real recipe...;-((
Growing your own food isn't just about saving money, it's about so much more. I truly believe that as humans we posses an innate desire or need to take a hand-on role in the production of the food we consume. Whether through growing your own, foraging in the wild, hunting or even going to a local farm, knowing exactly where your food comes from provides a deep sense of appreciation for what you eat.

This is a photograph from the Longwood GAA 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs 2014 which were held in Longwood Village, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 19th October 2014 at 11:00. This is the fifth year which Longwood GAA have hosted race events. This year's event was an outstanding success with the number of participants doubling over last year's final numbers. There were almost 400 participants in both events with 224 in the 10KM and 166 in the 5KM. In the first three previous years the club had organised a 5KM road race. The events were organised as fundraisers for both the adult and juvenille teams at Longwood GAA club. The event also provided a fundraising opportunity for the local St. Vincent de Paul charity. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and it is sure to grow next year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants today.
This is a photograph which is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the event. There were photographs taken at the start of the races and the finishes of both races in Longwood GAA. The full set is available at this link www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157648845224981/
Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway.
Timing and event management was provided by Precision Timing. Results are available on their website at www.precisiontiming.net/result.aspx?v=2100 with additional material available on their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/davidprecisiontiming?fref=ts) See their promotional video on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-7_TUVwJ6Q
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were about 400 participants over the two events.
Weather: The weather was very breezy but dry. The temperatures around 10C.
5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Stoney's Pub (goo.gl/maps/Of4fW) and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

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

MLC Students belong to various age brackets and come form different backgrounds and cultures, namely public and private sector employees, businessmen, international and local undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students, housewives and many others.
Through our courses, our main concern is to focus on the four vital language skills: Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening. We make sure that our students are be able to speak the language effectively, fluently, and that they can interact with others and realize their ambitions.
Summer courses for high school kids constitute the backbone of our summer activities. Our summer program has a two-tier purpose: a) English teaching as the focus of our attention b) summer activities including skating, swimming, horse riding, trips by bus, and other activities. Our students enjoy both the humane and academic nature of our trips.
Housewives are usually good participants, they form social gatherings during their free time in the mornings. They get to know each other and benefit from their special conversational course with an American teacher. They feel they belong to a women’s club in which they discuss many things, including cooking recipes and most important of all fashion in English.
Adults and businessmen are welcome all the year round, and private organizations get the lion’s share. This is where they need us the most. We extend our technical assistance to them, vocational and educational expertise as well. This is a mutual cooperation so that they can fulfill their objectives.
It’s been years now since we have been teaching English to make communication easier for all of us. Now the time has come for non-Arabs to learn Arabic. The MLC has just completed an Arabic course to make it easier for foreigners to study Arabic. Please pay us a visit at the MLC, and I am sure you will not be disappointed. Certainly, you will not only love it, but you will enjoy it.
We always look forward to seeing our graduates make it through colleges & universities. Now, It is a requirement that all graduates in Jordan pass the TOEFL or the IELTS in order to obtain their degrees. The MLC is committed to our future generations to make it possible for them to pass one of these international tests. It’s through us (MLC) that they make their dreams come true.

East End Pool & Library, location, Hadrian Square, Byker. So called because a 29 metre stretch of remains of Hadrian’s Wall were discovered during the development of the pool and library complex. It is thought that on the east side of the Ouseburn Valley the wall followed the line of the present Shields Road. There was actually a lot of protest in the late '90s, as our local library closed, and the building remains mostly empty to this day. However, despite the extra journey, most people now appreciate the modern facilities at the new building.
The official line from the council website www.newcastleleisure.co.uk/eastendpool
"East End Pool opened in the year 2000 and has the latest in leisure facilities to cater for everyone in the community. There are three pools including a toddler pool with a bubble machine, studio pool and the main leisure pool with a wave machine and fountains. The leisure pool also has two 50m flumes a sauna and steam room. The East End pool also has the latest in fitness provision housing an exceptional Impulse Fitness suite along with a modern dance studio allowing a range of activities from martial arts to aerobic's. The Fitness Suite has the latest fitness equipment from market leaders Life Fitness and is staffed with a fantastic team of instructors. After your workout you can relax in the sauna or cafe, or even explore the library which is situated within the building."
