This is a photograph from the second running of the Athlone Flatline Half Marathon ("The Flatline") was held at Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Saturday 14th September 2013 at 11:00. There was beautiful weather for the event which started and finished at St. Aloysius College near the Canal Banks area of the town just slightly west of the River Shannon. This event was professionally organised and the very flat course meant that many runners both seasoned and new to the scene achieved season or personal bests. Almost 1,000 participants successfully completed the event in the beautiful September sunshine. Everyone involved must be congratulated for the flawless running of the event. This event is sure to go from strength to strength over the coming years. The "Flatline" also included an option for a full marathon which was fully supported by the Marathon Club of Ireland and the East of Ireland Marathon Series. This allowed participants to run the Flatline twice for the qualifying marathon distance. About 80 people took part.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: Such is the popularity of the race this year that registration closed for the race in mid-August 2013. There were well over 1,000 participants who took to the start line.
Weather: The weather on the day was almost perfect for running. The runners were bathed in warm September sunshine for the duration of the race and into the early afternoon. In the sections of the race out towards Clonown and around the Bord na Mona areas there was a stiff breeze but nothing major.
Course: "The Flatline" ceratinly lived up to its name. It is as flat a course as one is likely to find. A garmin connect gps trace of the route is provided here [connect.garmin.com/activity/199678412] Geographically the course spends much of the race in County Roscommon with only the first and last kilometers actually in County Westmeath. This gives geographically inclined runners the novel opportunity to race in two Irish provinces in one race. The course had distance markers at every kilometre and mile along the way. There were official pacers provided by the race organisers.
Location Map: Start/finish area and registration etc on Google StreetView [goo.gl/maps/8qCes] - Ample parking was supplied with some over-flow car-parking options also available.
Refreshments: An Alkohol Frei bottle of Erdinger was provided to every finisher as they crossed the line. Light refreshments were served.

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 www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. — The 79th Sustainment Support Command officially opened its new 53,000 square-foot headquarters facility on Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos Jan. 12.
Hosting fellow Soldiers, civic leaders and community members was Maj. Gen. William D. Frink, Jr., 79th SSC commander.
"The structure behind me... is proof positive of U.S. Army commitment to our Army Reserve Soldiers," said Frink. "Our new home represents $29 million worth of construction in Southern California. This is tangible recognition of the Army Reserve as an indispensable force to our Nation."
For a sustainable future, Corps projects like this one are designed using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Program. LEED is how the U.S. Green Building Council rates a project for its design and achievement in categories like sustainability, water efficiency, energy conservation and design innovation.
"We demonstrate care for our community by ensuring we are good stewards of our environment," said Frink. "The building behind me is LEED Gold. It optimizes energy performance and was built with regional material to cut down on our carbon footprint. It has low water consumption and uses both renewable energy and recycled material."
Even the covered parking lots are an energy feature. Covered in a photo voltaic system that, according to Edward Desmond of Cox Construction of Vista, Calif., will produce 375 KVA [kilovolt-amps], generating enough power to offset the building's consumption on the Los Alamitos power grid.
The 79th SSC commands approximately 20,000 Army Reserve Soldiers and civilians across 19 states located west of the Mississippi River. By all accounts, this state-of-the-art facility is well equipped to enhance mission readiness and family well-being for such a geographically dispersed unit.
"I think it helps to build camaraderie," said Ann Nacino, Youth Services specialist. "It helps to build that connection with the Soldiers and civilians that support the command full time."
"This building tends to be a beacon for family members of all different services," said Sherry Rallis, Family Readiness community outreach assistant. "We really enjoy, as staff, collaborating with each other and welcoming family members and Soldiers that now have direct access to us, all in the same building."

Another view of the 124 year old Low House signal box, with what appears to have been an old coal bunker/storage in the foreground.
The scaffolding keeping the structure upright is evident as is the amount of work that needs doing, with the toilet seemingly at an odd angle and rotten wood apparent.
The international support for the 305-dismissed Turkish Airlines workers is growing rapidly.
On July 5, Thursday, Andrej Hunko, a deputy of the German Bundestag from Die Linke (Left Party), and also a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, paid a visit to the Ataturk International Airport to support the dismissed Turkish Airlines and Turkish Technic workers.
Last week, Hunko came on an official visit to Turkey. Hunko used the opportunity to visit the sacked Hava-Is members.
Hunko delivered a warmly-welcomed speech to Hava-Is members after receiving information from Hava-Is leaders and from workers themselves.
“It is unacceptable what is happening here! I am shocked by the way that Turkish government banned strikes in aviation industry and Turkish Airlines dismissed 305 workers via SMS messages just for defending their basic rights,” he declared.
He continued: “As soon as I go back to Germany, I will prepare a report to present to the German Bundestag. I will work in Germany and among European institutions to support your struggle as much as I can. Your struggle is very important for all other European workers. Workers must refuse to pay the bill for the economic crisis and fight to protect their rights!
Across Europe workers are waging difficult and heroic fights as laws protecting workers’ rights are rolled-back; strikes are banned and collective-bargaining agreements are made obsolete—particularly in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece!”
Following Hava-Is president Atilay Aycin gave a short speech, emphasising international support and solidarity. He said, “Despite all setbacks, Hava-Is and its members continue their struggle for their bread and their honour. Turkish Airlines is now operating understaffed, which is a serious threat to flight safety.”
Hunko’s visit to Turkish Airlines workers attracted substantial national media coverage.

This work is designed to undermine the vital but patronizing “Harz IV” agenda of the German government in which self-employed individuals must send in records of their expenses in order to verify the necessity of support. Made of stainless steel, this unobtrusive machine is suited for the harsh environments of the streets. It generates receipts for random items, quantities, and sale amounts. Each receipt is printed on thermal paper like an actual receipt and could be sent to the authorities.
