This is a photograph from the 15th annual Daingean Festival 5KM Road Race and Fun Run held in Daingean, Co. Offaly, on Friday 1st August 2014 at 19:30. The race is held annually on the Friday before the August bank holiday weekend and over the years has built a solid reputation as a challenging but fair 5KM. Several former olympians have set course record times on the course as well as personal bests for many other runners over the years. This is the second year the course changed from it's traditional 4 laps of Daingean village.
The race also benefits from the fantastic support of athletes from the running clubs of Offaly, Laois, Westmeath, and beyond.
All of this year's photographs are available on our Flickr photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157646095125104/
Congratulations to all of the organising committee, those from Tullamore Harriers and Naomh Mhuire AC who assisted with race organisation, and the local community who come out in strength to offer support and encouragement to the runners. The race marks one of the first events in the annual Daingean Music and Holiday Festival. The Daingean 5KM road race is an example of a small local race which year-in year-out attracts a quality field for all categories whilst also providing a great opportunity for those new to running to sample a race experience. There was a very impressive selection of refreshments provided for participants in the village hall afterwards. There was over 170 participants in the race tonight.

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

"Bebop was about change, about evolution. If anybody wants to keep creating they have to be about change." ~Miles Davis
For whatever reason today i kept thinking about change. And I came to the conclusion Sam Cooke said it best: A change is gonna come. As an adolescent I hated change and everything about it. For the life of me I couldn't understand why the things I loved, the people I loved, the circumstances I loved always somehow in someway eventually changed. When I was younger I used to think, If only I could freeze time to either prevent the inevitable from occuring, or, at the very least savor the moment a bit longer I would be able to deal with the shift... Sometimes, though I've grown, I still stumble upon such thinking. But life is about progression...about growth...about the new. I've grown to accept change for what it is, and for what it is not. Today I step a bit more easily into change, no matter how abrupt; I think because I know now without change I might not have become the person I am today, and I like him a whole lot better than the one I knew yesterday...

I don't know where their last home was, though I do know it was somewhere in the northern suburbs of Melbourne.
They awoke to a warm humid day in country North Eastern Victoria after their 4 & 1/2 hour ordeal on the back of my motorbike.
This is their new home, I hope they like it.

Mark D'Arcy, Council of Canadians - Fredericton Chapter
Fredericton, New Brunswick
*Justin Trudeau face the "Whales in the Room" at his campaign stop in
Fredericton, New Brunswick *
FREDERICTON, SEPTEMBER 8, 2015 - Citizens held a silent rally in downtown
Fredericton outside the Liberal Party campaign barbeque attended by Liberal
Leader Justin Trudeau, making a very visible call for action on climate
change. Using their North Atlantic Right Whale "No Energy East" signs, the
Fredericton chapter of the Council of Canadians made quite a splash.
Although several Liberal supporters tried to block the whales and climate
change signs, the large crowd and Justin Trudeau could not help but see the
elephant in the room.
Our political leaders need to address climate change. Fredericton has
already experienced more severe weather of climate change, most
notably Post-Tropical
Storm Arthur in July 5, 2014 when the city suffered widespread damage with
the loss of over 5000 trees from an unusually severe summer storm with
gusts approaching 100 km/hr.
Citizens had the copy of two reports which they handed out to Justin
Trudeau’s campaign team. One was the scientific paper from the Nature
journal that states that 85% of Canada’s tar sands, among other fossil fuel
reserves in the world, needs to stay in the ground in order to tackle
climate change. The other was the just-released report by Citicorp, the
3rd largest bank in the United Nations. Citicorp makes the conclusion that
the world economy must transition away from fossil fuels, and with the low
price of oil, this would actually be CHEAPER, rather than maintaining the
status quo of our carbon-based economy.

On the 18th April 2012 we see 66304 at Salterwath whilst heading south with 4M34. In the background it is thick fog, then sunshine and then I'm standing in dull conditions. All the fun of photographing on Shap ! It was taken at 0747
I am grateful, proud and excited that our country voted in Barack Obama as our 44th president. As waves rush in to wash away the marks on a beach to make things fresh and new once again, I am filled with hope. I am hopeful that we are charging ahead at tackling the many troubles that face our nation and the greater world with him at the helm in Washington.
Not everyone will agree with the wisdom of all of the policies and promises he has made to us. For this reason we have to be willing to listen to each other and include everyone in the discussion. The solutions to the problems our nation faces will challenge all of us. For this reason we need to hope together and work together.
I believe Obama embodies the virtue of hope in the face of cynicism and fear, the virtues of humility and a willingness to listen in the face of uncertainty, and the virtue of hard work in the face of a mountain of trouble. Today, more than any other time in my life, I am filled with more hope and excitement for what our country can be under his leadership. I am equally excited for and hopeful of the things we can accomplish together through our collective willingness to be a part of the solution. I believe voting this man into office was our first step. I am proud of us.
I know that not all of us agree that voting in Obama was the right decision for this country, but I know that most of us will have a difficult time disagreeing with his message of hope, unity, and sacrifice while we strive toward a brighter future.
Below are some great quotes from Obama's acceptance speech. If you did not see the speech I encourage you to check out the full video HERE.
"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there."
"There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years -- block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand."
"This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other."
"As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection."
"And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too."
"This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can."

"Mudanças. Nós não gostamos delas. Nós a tememos. No entanto, não conseguimos evitá-las. Ou nos adaptamos às mudanças, ou somos deixados para trás. Crescer é doloroso. Qualquer um que te disser que não, está mentindo. Mas aqui vai a verdade: às vezes, quanto mais as coisas mudam, mais elas permanecem as mesmas. E às vezes mudar é bom. Às vezes mudar é tudo."
Novo ano e grandes mudanças já acontecendo. Boa sorte pra mim e um 2011 de sucesso a todos!

Changing seasons, changing oil - today was (hopefully) the final lawnmowing followed by changing the oil in the mower and mothballing it for next year, followed by changing the oil in the snowblower - I didn’t last spring - and getting it ready for the approaching winter.
A couple of years ago the CP changed the normal scene at Uni by taking the old unused "Pioneer 4" track and making a new connection from their flyover down to the BNSF Midway Sub. Now instead of trying to get on the BNSF St Paul Sub "Wrong Main" at Uni, they can get on the correct main down on the less busy BNSF Midway Sub. This greatly reduced CP's long delays while waiting to get on the BNSF at busy University JCT, but makes for a completely different scene at University with the long CP trains blocking the view, and being right on top of you....
Here's what the track used to look like.
A sixpenny bit turned up in my change the other day. We used to call them "tanners" and are now equivalent to 2 and half pence. In 1950 it would be worth about a million pounds in todays money. This coin could buy you a round trip on the Titanic plus a ride on the tram and a bag of chips plus the bus fare home AND buy shares in major shares in major corporations. The other coin on the left is a 5p . Worth a SHILLING in old money. There would be 20 shillings in a pound and therefore 40 sixpences. It makes sense. You had to be there.
I watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
I've watched you change
