My completed scorecard for the game between the Pittsfield Colonials and the New Jersey Jackals at Yogi Berra Stadium
Upper Montclair, NJ, 07/30/11
The back of the pack crew of the Lake Auburn half marathon. It didn’t take long for me to lose sight of these athletes. But I did complete my training and I did finish so there is that.

The current incarnation of the Kentucky State Capitol is the fourth. It's a gorgeous beaux arts building. The cornerstone was laid in 1906 and construction (and first sessions) was completed (and convened) in 1910.
Both the interior and exterior are stunning. In the rotunda, there's a statue of President Lincoln (born in Kentucky in 1809, not too far from Frankfort) in the center that prevents perfectly symmetrical shots of a beautiful cupola -- though not complaining at all -- along with 4 other figures in the "corners": Alben Barkley (President Truman's VP), Henry Clay (the "Great Compromiser" and "Kentucky's Favorite Son"), Jefferson Davis (president of the Confederacy), and Dr. Ephraim McDowell (pioneer in abdominal and gynecological surgery). There's also a bust of Colonel Sanders (of KFC fame) behind one of the staircases, but I'm afraid I missed that...
Also, there are permanent exhibits of dolls of the First Ladies of Kentucky and rotating exhibits in cases just off the rotunda.
Once on the second (or third) floors, you get gorgeous symmetrical views of the main corridor, most of which is made of Vermont granite. (The base of the exterior of the building is also Vermont granite, and the rest of the exterior is Bedford limestone.
As far as offices go, the Governor's office is on the south side of the rotunda on the first floor. The second floor has the Supreme Court on the east wing and the State Reception Room on the north side. The third floor has the House chamber (not pictured, as they were in session) on the east and the Senate chamber on the west.
The grounds of the capitol were planned by Frederick Law Olmsted and sons (Central Park, New York City designers), though financial pressure led them to abandon a bit. What's here, though, is beautiful. The Executive Mansion is on the grounds just ENE of the capitol, and was modeled after Marie Antoinette's palace at Versailles, France. There are also beautiful floral arrangements that frame the buildingnicely.
Here's the whole outfit. I came up with the idea over the weekend, it suddenly all came together! For sale on Etsy.
This is a photograph from the finish of the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 27th August 2016 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 11:00. This is the fourth year of the event. The race is organised and promoted by Tullamore Harriers AC. The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter Tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course. 2013 seen the first year of the event as the club commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs.
We have a large set of photographs from the start and the finish of today's race on our Flickr Photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157669860212434
The race was perfectly organised. The weather was good for racing but there was warm summer weather for the entire race which made for warmer than usual running conditions There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each.
As mentioned above this race half marathon started in 2013 and celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". The Quinlan Cup which will be awarded to the winning club team. For more than 40 years the Harriers Quinlan Cup was the most prestigious event on the road racing calendar. Having started as a cross-country race back in 1957, it became a road race in 1967 and remained so until 2000 when the race was last held. During its reign as a blue-ribband event the Quinlan Cup was won by the likes of John Treacy and Eamonn Coughlan.
Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.

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!

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Complete aircraft detailing to resurfacing services to minor paint damage repair.
Our aircraft services revolve around friction reduction which means that our services are designed to give you better fuel economy, better flight performance as well as the aircraft being able to handle turbulance better.
Our whole objective here is to get your aircraft to cut through the air like a knife. In otherwords, no air diversion and no friction also known as drag.
We do this by clay barring down the whole aircraft once it has been washed down and fixing any minor paint damage that needs to be repaired.
This removes the stuck on particles that are creating unsteady airflow throughout the frame. (no one clay bars) This is our secret to having a virtally particle free aircraft.
Once this extremley important step is finished, we go into our compounding phase removing alot of the minor scratches, scuffs as well as any oxidation on the paint.
Next we polish out the paint making it look better than new and we follow this with our final application, the sealer or paint protection phase. This application protects your aircraft from the harsh elements that stick to and that break your clear coat down.
If you want better flight performance, better fuel economy and the ability to take on turbulance better, call us today for a onsite quoat.

Wednesday.
Hump day.
Unless you're retired.
We have both been a couple of leisure for ten months now, and there was a time, soon after we did finish, that we both thought we might not enjoy retirement, and might go back to some kind of work.
But as time went on, and through the long winter nights, we have come to really love our lives, and there then is zero chance of being tempted back.
This week has seen brighter days, so lighter in the mornings and late afternoons, and with the sunshine yesterday which shone until well after four, it felt and looked like Spring.
After I dropped Jools off at her class, I was going to go to Canterbury to visit the cathedral to snap the now completed renovation work. But a check online meant I found out that it doesn't open until ten, and with the churchcrawling in the afternoon, really didn't leave me with enough time to go to the city.
So I didn't.
Jools took the car and I lollygagged around the house. Had breakfast, washed up, did the bird food and listened to podcasts, and watched videos.
I wasn't bored.
Out in the garden three Winter aconites were in flower, and now the sun was out, one of the flowers just about opened, so I went out to snap it and other flowers that were showing.
I also broadcasted the seed packs that Fran had given us for Christmas, making sure that they were in contact with the soil.
The wisteria is showing signs of waking up, and the lilac has had buds for most of the winter, while rosettes of Cowslips, Pyramidals and other perennials were showing well.
Spring is coming.
We had tasted hot cross buns for lunch when Jools came home, giving me half an hour to faff around before leaving the house so I could pick up Martina from Deal, en route to the church at Nackington.
It was like a spring day driving from Deal to Worth then past Ash and Wingham. At least in the car with the heater on.
Along the A2 for a bit, then turn off through Bridge, where the road to Stone Street was closed. Or had road closed signs showing.
So instead it was back onto the A2, turn off at Wincheap, then through Chartham and to Hardres and back onto Stone Street.
We got tere at ten to two, one car was already there, and soon four more joined, as we turned the quiet dead end lane into rush hour. A face showed at one of the windows of the end cottage as the lady tried to see why there were so many folks about.
The warden arrived, so after introductions, we walked to the porch and inside.
I read from John's book, and the words of Hasted from the 18th century, of the descriptions of the parish and church.
I had brought them here to see two of the oldest stained glass windows in England. Which the warden told us were brought from Canterbury Cathedral at some point, for some unknown purpose. Try to understand Hasted, it seems the windows were there at the end of the 18th century.
The windows are of early 13th century manufacture, and so old that the craftsperson who made them might have been alive when Thomas Becket was Archbishop. As it is, the windows have probably the oldest representation of Becket.
We talk for nearly and hour as I describe the church and the fittings. And we were done, meaning we should just about get home before the schools runs on our route home.
I drove us into canterbury, then up the Old Dover Road and back onto the A2 before going back through Wingham to Sandwich and finally onto Deal.
The sun was about an hour from setting, and was still full daylight. And looked all the world like Spring.
I dropped Martina off, battled through Deal town centre and its new roadworks, then took the Dover Road through Walmer to home.
I got back at ten past four, where it was time for a cuppa.
Supper was minted lamb and stir fry with noodles. It worked. And increased the amount of fibre we both ate compared to the day before.
And there was minimal washing up, which is always a bonus.
For the evening there was the chaos of the last round of Champions League games, all 18 games kicking off at the same time to see who would would go through to the round of 16, and those others who would either go into the play-off round or just go home.
After seven dreadful rounds of games, the excitement is pretty much save for this night, and at times it was exciting. That it takes eight rounds of games just to eliminate 12 teams is a result of the "need" to reduce the risk for the biggest clubs and mostly to ensure those biggest clubs are the ones to progress to the knock out phase.
Money talks, always had, which is why five out of the eight who go straight through were Premier League clubs, or 62.5% of teams in the top eight were PL teams.
I kept listening in the hope that one of the biggest clubs would fail in some way. In the end it was both Real Madrid and PSG who in failing to win must now play two extra games in the play-off rounds.
It matter not a jot to me as a football fan, or the club I support whether any English club wins loses the Champions League. Very little money comes our way now, as domestic players are not seen as value for money.
So, the circus now moves on to the play off round where its not quite sudden death, but there is real peril for the biggest clubs.

NACKINGTON,
CALLED in antient writings Natindon, and Natynton, lies the next parish south westward from Bridge. The greatest part of it is in the upper half hundred of Bridge, and a small district of the northern part of it in the hundered of Whitstaple. It has but one borough, viz. that of Nackington.
NACKINGTON lies about a mile north-east from Canterbury; the high road from which to Hythe and Romney Marsh leads through it; it is a pleasant healthy situation. The east and west sides of the parish are open uninclosed arable and hop-grounds, the eastern part behind Staplegate being mostly planted with them; and the western arable, in which is a large district of land, called from its size the Hundred-acres, formerly Haven field, the property of several different owners. The soil, through much inclined to chalk, is in general very fertile, and worth upon an average twenty shillings an acre, though there is much in it let for more. There is no village, but there are about eighteen houses interspersed throughout it; the church stands on a gentle rise, at a small distance eastward from the road, with the parsonage and the court-lodge of Sextries near it. Beyond Heppington the prospect changes to a barren dreary country, covered with slints, and enveloped among woods. Behind that seat ran the old Stonestreet way of the Romans, from their station Durovernum, or Canterbury, to that of Portus Lemanis, or Limne, only to be traced now over the arable lands, and through the woods, and a little higher up lies Iffins wood, formerly the scite of the manor of Ytching, as it was antiently spelt in king Henry the VIth.'s reign, a small part of which only is within this parish, close to the bounds of which are the vestigia of an antient camp, the outward trenches of which contain about eight acres, of which only two acres are level and connected, the rest being cut and intersected by roads, &c. There are numbers of different intrenchments throughout this large wood, and one vallum especially, which runs on to the Stone-street road. At the north corner of this camp are the remains of an oblong square building of stone, the length of it standing east and west. At the east end is a square rise against the wall, seemingly for an altar, and a hollow in the wall on one side. The foot or pedestal, of a seemingly gothic pillar, such as were made for churches, was some years ago found among the rubbish in it; so that if this ever was a prætorium of a Roman general, a chapel seems to have been erected on the scite of it, as was frequently the case, probably by the owners of the manor, and to have been deserted when this part of the country was depopulated by the contests between the houses of York and Lancaster.
Herba Paris, or One Berry, grows plentifully in Iffen wood, and Lamium Caunabino folio flore amplo luteo, labio purpureo; hemp-leaved dead nettle, with a party coloured flower, grows in this parish.
There are no parochial charities, but there are eight shillings per annum paid towards the repair of the church, out of lands called Willys's lands. The number of poor constantly relieved are about twenty-five, casually as many.
THERE ARE THREE MANORS in this parish, each of which is stiled in antient records, The MANOR OF NACKINGTON. Of these
The MANOR OF SEXTRIES, alias NACKINGTON, was part of the antient possessions of the monastery of St.Augustine, and was allotted to the use of their sacristie, whence it acquired the former of those names. This manor, in the year 1046, was demised to one Turstin, belonging to the abbot's houshold, and was afterwards sold and alienated from the monastery, which accounts for its not being mentioned in the survey of Domesday; but in king Edward I.'s reign, it appears by the roll of knights fees to have been again in the possession of the abbot and convent, for Natyndon is mentioned in it as the abbot's lordship. After which this manor of Natyndon, alias Sextries, continued in the possession of the abbot and convent till the dissolution of the abbey in the 30th year of Henry VIII. when it came into the king's hands, (fn. 1) who in his 32d year granted it in exchange to Thomas Colepeper, esq. senior, whose son Sir Alexander Colepeper, of Bedgbury, alienated it in the 21st year of Elizabeth to Sir James Hales, of the Dungeon, in Canterbury, whose grandson, of the same name, by deed inrolled anno 22 James I.sold it to John Smith, esq. of London, and he devised it by will to John Vaughan, esq. from which name it passed to Stephen Jermyn, esq. who conveyed it to Thomas Page, citizen and stationer of London, and he passed it away by sale to William Fox, of Nackington, whose son, of the same name, reconveyed it to Thomas Page, esq. of London, son of Thomas beforementioned, and he in 1763 sold it to Edward Jacob, esq. of Faversham, who died in 1788, and his widow now possesses it for her life, the inheritance being vested in their two younger sons, the Rev.Stephen Long Jacob, and Mr.John Jacob, who resides at it. There is no court held for it.
The MANOR OF STAPLEGATE, alias NACKINGTON, is situated in the northern part of this parish, in the hundred of Whitstaple, just without the bounds of the county of the city of Canterbury. It was formerly the seat of an eminent family of the same surname, who were owners not only of this place, but of lands in Bilsington, Romney Marsh, and in Thanet. (fn. 2) Edmund Staplegate died possessed of this manor anno 13 king Edward II. whose descendant Edmund Staplegate had that noted contest, as lord of Bilsington manor, with Richard, earl of Arundel, for the performance of the office of chief butler at king Richard II.'s coronation. (fn. 3) He died s.p. and was succeeded by his brother John Staplegate, in whole descendants this manor did not continue long; for in the reigns of Henry V. and VI. as appears by the antient court-rolls, it was in the name of Litchfield, one of whom, Roger Litchfield, in the 22d year of Edward IV. alienated it to William Haut, whose son Sir William Haut leaving two daughters his coheirs, Elizabeth, the eldest, entitled her husband Thomas Colepeper, esq. of Bedgbury, to it, and he in the Ist year of king Edward VI. alienated it to Philip Chowte, esq. who sold it in the 6th year of queen Elizabeth to Walter Waller, and he immediately afterwards passed it away to Sir Anthony Aucher, of Bishopsborne, who sold it to Sir James Hales, of the Dungeon, and he in the 22d year of king James I. conveyed it, with the manor of Sextries, alias Nackington, to John Smith, esq. of London. After which they both continued in the same line of ownership, down to Thomas Page, esq. who alienated this manor of Staplegate, alias Nackington, to Mr.Hopkins Fox, whose son Mr. William Fox died possessed of it in 1794, and left it to his eldest son William, who now possesses it. There is no court held for it.
HEPPINGTON is a manor and seat, at the south-west boundary of this parish, which in the reign of king Henry II. was possessed by a family of the name of Delce; for in the 29th year of it William de Delce accounted at the exchequer for the tenure of this land of Hevington; but this name was extinct here before the reign of Edward III in which it was come into the possession of William Talbot, whose heirs possessed it in the 20th year of that reign. The next owners of this manor were the Chich's, of the Dungeon, as appeared by a record of that time, at the beginning of king Henry IV.'s reign, it was become the property of Fogge, and Sir John Fogge, of Repton, by will anno 6 Henry VII. devised it to his son by his second wife, Sir Thomas Fogge, sergeant-porter of Calais, whose two daughters and coheirs, married to Oxenbridge and Scott, conveyed their moieties of it in 1558 and 1561, to Thomas Hales, esq. of Thanington, and he settled it on his eldest son William, by his second wife Alice, and their son William Hales, esq. together with his son William Hales, in 1640, conveyed the manor of Heppington, with the mansion and lands belonging to it, to Thomas Godfrey, esq. the younger, of Lid, who was knighted the year afterwards, and resided here, being the eldest son of Peter Godfrey, esq. of Lid. (fn. 4) He died in 1684, without surviving issue, leaving his wife lady Hester Godfrey surviving, who died in 1699, when this manor came by her settlement of it to her great nephew Henry Godfrey, esq. who was of Heppington, who leaving and only daughter and heir Mary, she carried it in marriage to Bryan Faussett, esq. of Rochester, who rebuilt this seat, bearing for his arms,Or, a lion rampant, sable, over all a bend, gobonated, argent and gules. He died in 1750, and was succeeded by his eldest son the Rev. Brian Faussett, rector of Horton Monks, and perpetual curate of Nackington, who died in 1776, having married Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. Mr. Curtois, by whom he had two sons, Henry-Godfrey, of whom below, and Bryan, now of Sittingborne, gent. who married Dorothy, daughter of the Rev.John Smith, vicar of Borden, and a daughter Elizabeth, married to Mr. Wm. Bland, of Sittingborne. Henry Godfrey Faussett, esq. the eldest son, succeeded on his mother's death in 1787, to this manor; he married first Susan, daughter of Ri chard Sandys, esq. of Canterbury, by whom he had three sons and five daughters, she died in 1789; and he married secondly Sarah, daughter and heir of Fettiplace Nott, esq. of Marston-hall, in Warwickshire, late high steward of the city of Litchfield. He is the present possessor of this manor, and resides at Heppington.
NACKINGTON-HOUSE is a seat in this parish, which in the reign of king Charles I. was the residence of Capt. John Nutt, whose descendant Edward Nutt, esq. died possessed of it in 1708, without issue male, upon which it came by entail to his brother William Nutt, who sold it to Thomas Willys, esq. who in 1726 succeeded to the title of baronet on the death of Sir Thomas Willys, bart. of Fen-Ditton, in Cambridgeshire, s. p. their arms being, Parted per fess, gules and argent, three lions rampant, counterchanged, a bordure, ermine. He died next year, s. p. likewise, having devised this estate to trustees, who soon afterwards sold it to Christopher Milles, esq. of Canterbury, descended from ancestors who had resided at the parsonage at Herne, from the reign of James I. and bore for their arms, Ermine, a millrind, sable, on a chief, two marlions wings, or; one of whom was clerk of the robes to queen Anne, and king James and of king Charles's privy chamber. (fn. 5) Christopher Milles, esq. after his purchase of Nackington house, resided at it, and died in 1742, having married Mary, eldest daughter of Rich. Warner, esq. of Norfolk, by whom he had three sons and two daughters, Richard, of whom hereafter; Christopher, chief justice of Senegambia; John, late captain of an East-Indiaman; Mary, now unmarried; and Anne, married to Sir Edward Aftley, bart. of Norfolk. Richard Milles, esq. the eldest son, is of North Elmham, in Norfolk, he served as member for Canterbury in three successive parliaments, having married Mary, daughter of T. Tanner, D. D. prebendary of Canterbury, by whom he has an only daughter and heir Mary, married to the right hon. Lewis-Thomas, lord Sondes. He is the present owner of this seat, and at times resides at it.
THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of the same.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary, is but small, and consists of one isle and two chancels, having at the north-west corner a low wooden pointed turret, in which hangs one bell. This church is very small. It is kept very neat and in good repair. By the several narrow small circular windows it seems antient, built perhaps not long after the time of Lansranc. In the high chancel are several memorials for the Godfreys; a memorial for Bryan Faussett, esq. obt. 1750, and for his son the Rev. Bryan Faussett, obt. 1776; arms, Faussett, quartering Toke, Godfrey, and Brian, impaling azure, three pales, ermine, over all, a fess, chequy. In the south chancel, which belongs to the Milles family, are several memorials for the Wyllis's and the Nutt's; and memorials for the Pudners, who lie buried in a vault underneath; arms, Bendy, or, and gules, over all, a cross, argent, a label of three points for difference. Against the west wall are three elegant small monuments, of different coloured marbles; one for the RevBernard Astley, A. B. second son of Sir Edward Astley, bart. of Melton, in Norfolk, by Anne, daughter of Christopher Milles, esq. another for Christopher Milles, esq. of Nackington, obt. 1742, who married Mary, eldest daughter and coheir of Richard Warner, esq. of North Elmham, in Norfolk; and another for Mary, relict of Christopher Milles, esq. obt. 1781. In the two east windows of this chancel, are good remains of painted glass.
The CHURCH of Nackington belonged to the priory of St. Gregory, perhaps part of its original endowment by archbishop Lanfranc. It was very early appropriated to it, and was confirmed to it by archbishop Hubert about king Richard I.'s reign. After which this appropriation appears by the register of the priory, to have been esteemed as a manor, stiled
The MANOR OF NACKINGTON, alias The PARSONAGE, which continued part of the possessions of it till its suppression by king Henry VIII. when it came, with the advowson of the vicarage, into the king's hands, where they did not stay long, before they were granted, with the scite and other possessions of the priory, in exchange, to the archbishop, part of the revenues of whose see they continue at this time, George Gipps, esq. of Harbledown, being the present lessee of this parsonage. But the advowson of the vicarage, now esteemed as a perpetual curacy, his grace the archbishop reserves in his own hands.
The vicarage, or perpetual curacy, is not valued in the king's books. (fn. 6) Archbishop Juxon, in 1661, augmented the stipend of this curacy to twenty pounds per annum; and archbishop Sheldon, anno 28 Charles II. angmented it further to forty pounds per annum, which sum is paid yearly to the curate by the lessee of the parsonage. It is now of the yearly certified value of 62l. 18s. 10d. (fn. 7)
¶THERE IS A PORTION OF TITHES arising from a district of land in this parish, which was part of the antient possessions of the hospital of Eastbridge, and at the endowment of the vicarage of Cosmus Blean, was given to it, being then of the value of five marcs. This portion now belongs to that vicarage, and consists of the tithes of about one hundred and sixteen acres of land, let at the yearly rent of forty-two pounds. (fn. 8)
There were several contests between the priory of St. Gregory and St. Laurence hospital, concerning the tithes of Moland beside Heppington, viz. of eighty acres of land; besides which, the hospital possessed the tithes of fifty acres of land in Havefield. (fn. 9)

CTi-equipped engine has test flight
Rolls-Royce has completed the first flight test of aircraft featuring its composite carbon/titanium (CTi) fan blade with advance and ultrafan engine design. The CTi fan blades were integrated into a Trent 1000 engine of the Rolls-Royce 747, which recently completed its successful flying test at Tucson, Ariz. The engine design provides a 20 percent fuel consumption savings. In September Rolls-Royce completed crosswind testing on this fan system at the company's outdoor jet engine test facility at Stennis Space Center, Miss. Established in 2007, the SSC test facility is one of three company testing sites worldwide. It conducts noise, crosswind, thrust reverse, cyclic and endurance testing on all current Rolls-Royce large engine types. (Source: Aerospace
