Reputation photos on Flickr

Bennie Blades from the University of Miami, played 10 seasons in the NFL. During his time with the Detroit Lions, his reputation around the league stood out as he was and remains considered one of the most athletic, intelligent, intense and physical defensive backs ever in the NFL.

In college, Blades was the 1987 Jim Thorpe Award winner (Best College Defensive Back In America), a two-time First Team All-American, a National champion, a team captain and more. Since college, Blades has been elected to the College Football Hall of Fame, The University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame and The University of Miami Football Ring of Honor.

With the third overall pick in the 1988 NFL Draft, The Detroit Lions selected Blades, who went on to earn NFL All-Rookie honors for the 1988 season. Known for his hard hits and aggressive play, Blades was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1991 in addition to receiving First-Team All-NFL and First-team All-NFC honors. He was the Lions’ Defensive MVP in 1992 and led the team with 132 tackles in 1996, which was one of three 100-tackle seasons he had for the Lions.

Blades was a key component to a Lions’ defense that helped the team claim the 1991 NFC Central title and a berth in the NFC Championship game, along with three other playoff appearances in the 1990s.

Perhaps one game that truly exemplified Bennie Blades as a “football warrior” was against the Packers at the old Milwaukee County Stadium November 6, 1994. Blades, who entered the game banged-up with sore ankles and a shoulder injury, actually played significant time filling in at a linebacker position. Blades was all over the field, recording a team-high 10 tackles, a sack and also recovered a fumble.

Bennie Blades is available for speaking engagements, autograph signings, Super Bowl parties, golf tournaments, charity events, fundraisers, special events, appearances, product endorsements, corporate events and more.

Don't let the wrong Shipping Supplies Damage your Reputation by Octavio Iverson

Shipping a #product to your customer will be the biggest area that can lead to bad customer service. The reason is that there is nothing worse than you send your product out to a customer and when it arrives at their home or office it is damaged. While the shipping company that delivered it will be the one that damaged it, your company will be the one that pays the price. Your reputation will be what suffers as the customer will blame you for the damaged product. This can be avoided simply by making sure that you are using the right packing supplies when sending out to a customer. Packing peanuts will do a little to help reduce the damage to a product, but the right shipping supplies can be the difference between a product arriving undamaged and you have a customer service nightmare.

Another reason for ensuring that your products are packed with the best #packing supplies suited for your products is the amount of money that you will wind up spending in the long run. If you are having to take and replace a lot of products or give an exceptionally large amount of returns, then you will see that you are wasting money. It is a natural thing to see that more delicate of a product you are shipping than the better that the packing on the inside needs to be. This way many people will tell you that not all packing supplies are created equal. One mistake that many people will make is that they think about their packing supplies in regards to what goes inside of the box. The truth is that it is what’s on the outside that counts just as much. This will be the biggest reason that you will want to make sure that the box you use will be of stronger materials than what you are currently using at the time.

If you decide to reuse boxes for more than one #shipment, then you will want to make sure that you take extra care and ensure that the box is holding up to the repeated use. If the box begins to show signs of wear, then you need to make sure that you replace the box and if you insist on using these shipping supplies that you enforce the inside with ample packing to counter any damage that may occur during the shipping process.

There is another aspect to this and that is the fact that you need to make sure that you are accommodating for there being excess room in the box. Having filler that will take up the extra space will ensure that you will not have a product that arrives in damaged condition. The other aspect is that of selecting the right packing for the job. Unless you use a ton of packing peanuts, you still will run the risk that your product will find space that it can move around in and wind up being damaged.

All of these tips will go a long way in helping you to pack better and to avoid what is the downfall of many companies and that is poor shipping materials. Your business will notice a massive difference in the amount of money you save on having to replace damaged products.

400m to go: Na Fianna 5KM Road Race 2015 by Peter Mooney

This is a photograph from the annual Na Fianna AC "Bob Heffernan" 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Johnstownbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Tuesday 19th May 2015 at 20:00. The race has gained a glowing reputation as being one of the fastest 5KM road races in Ireland. This race commemorates the years of work and volunteering that local man Bob Heffernan gave to Meath, Leinster, and Irish athletics from grass roots upwards and his work with the host club Na Fianna AC who have a catchment area in this part of rural North Kildare and South Meath. The race, known affectionately by club-members as simply "Bob's race" is a fitting tribute to commemorate his contribution to this sport. Today's race had another very large attendance with over 420 registered participants. There was a wonderful atmosphere as runners from all over Leinster gathered for a great night's racing. The very changeable and unseasonably weather of late made for an unpredictable night weather wise. A shower of hail fell on runners between 2KM and 3KM and yet this shower didn't fall on the finish area at the Hamlet Court Hotel.

This race is part of the annual Meath Road Race League despite the fact that the race is run completely in County Kildare. The Na Fianna club, who organise the race, have a catchment area of South Meath and North West Kildare. The current route for the race has stayed the same over the past few years. However previous to that the race was held in Enfield and also Rathmoylan in County Meath. This road race has grown from strength to strength year on year and is now one of the premier 5KM races in Ireland and one of the top club attended races in Leinster. The race starts on the busy Enfield to Endenderry road and this requires a big effort from stewards and marshalls. However, as always, the event was a resounding success with personal bests and great runs from many of the participants.

We have a large set of photographs from the finish of the race and they are available on our Flickr photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157653107820532

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!

Robbie Byrne 5KM 2015 - Navan by Peter Mooney

This is a photograph from the Robbie Byrne Memorial 5KM Road Race, Fun Run and Walk which was held at Claremont Stadium, Commons Road, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 27th December 2015 at 12:00. After several years of this race being a 6KM road race the Navan AC hosts decided to revert back to a 5KM race around a very well known loop starting on the Commons road in the direction of the town and then going across Clogherboy Park and and then left onto the old Athboy road before turning left again and returning back over the Commons and onto the Commons Road and finishing on the track within Claremont Stadium. This loop was used in the annual St. Stephen's Day 10KM road race which was held in Navan for many years. The loop was also used in many county, provincial and national championship races over the years. So the return of road racing on it will brought back memories for many veteran runners and a fair and fast route for all participants. The race is run as a memorial to Robbie Byrne and has the primary goal of raising some funds for the upkeep and development of the track facilities at the track at Claremont stadium. The event is sponsored by Robert Byrne Hair Salon in Navan town. Different to the weather of the past weeks today was perfect for road racing with a cold bright day.

As is now the tradition and the reputation of Meath Athletics Club races there was a wonderful spread of refreshments and foods afterwards provided in the sports hall. Showers and changing facilities were also provided. The main sponsor is Robert Byrne Hairdressing.

There is a full set of photographs from today's race available on our Flickr photostream. The link to these photographs is here [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157662264453770]
