This is a photograph from the 4th and final round of the 2017 Pat Finnerty Memorial 5KM Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 24th May 2017 at 20:00. This is the final round and consequently some of the decisions around the final configuration of the category prizes are still open for resolution. The Road League is promoted and organised by Mulligar Harriers Athletic Club and sponsored by local sponsors including O'Brien's Renault dealership. This is a very well established as an annual event which takes place on every Wednesday night in the month of May. Tonight's weather was absolutely wonderful. Warm summer air filled the Belvedere area as the runners were treated to perfect summer weather. Just under 200 participants took part in the race which runs a traffic free course over a mix of road and hilly forest trail. Congratulations are due to all of the Mullingar Harriers club who put this excellent series together.
Timing and event management was provided by http://www.myrunresults.com/. Their website will contain the results to today's race.

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!

Another configuration different to the Thingammy based on a module of regular pentagons but a non-planar hexagon hole. (Near miss Johnson Solid 16) arranged so that hexagon holes meet each other in a matching configuration - IF they do so??? needs checking.

Latest configuration set up as my every day commuter with lights, guards and moustache bars. I've also removed the Suntour components and replace with Shimano. The derailleur is better but thinking I should have stayed with the suntour shifters. That point is probably mute though because sooner or later she is going to become a 2-speed kick back. Currently running as 7-speed with single chainring and wide range cassete.
Tyres will need replacing soon. Currently white Vittoria 23c which have been super reliable and hard wearing, but thinking I'd like something a little more comfortable. Pretty sure I can go up to about 28mm on these rims. Will need to make a decision soon.

Modular by design, our turbo-back systems are available in street or race configurations. Street series systems include a Magnaflow 200 cell catalytic converter. Race series systems include a test pipe. On race day the cat can be easily swapped for a test pipe. Six unique tip fitments allow our turbo-backs to fit any mk4 1.8T. Our 1.8T turbo-backs are technically a combination of our 3" downpipes and our 2.5" & 3" cat-backs. Repeating the features of our downpipes and cat-backs would only make a long story longer. One feature our downpipes and cat-backs can't boast on their own is power gain. In our extensive testing we were able to dyno test a 'typical' mk4 and measure the changes. We used a relatively stock 2002 GTI 337 edition. The car was chipped, had a cold air intake and an aftermarket diverter valve. No other engine modifications were made to the car. Equipped with stock exhaust, we drove the car thoroughly and dyno tested it. The stock exhaust was swapped out for our 3" turbo-back system and the car was driven to adapt then dyno tested again. With weather conditions literally exact we measured peak gains of 22.5 hp and 48 lb/ft to the wheels! Power gains were felt all over. Boost was built faster and held out longer with the stock turbocharger. No power losses were felt at any point in the powerband. Turbo-back pricing starts at $770 and varies by series, pipe size and tip fitment. All configurations can be purchased.

I went on a one day workshop at Blade Rubber just before Xmas - run by Susie Jefferson and she taught us how to make this Tim Holtz's Configurations box. Since it was nearing Xmas naturally it was themed accordingly.
We were supplied with practically all the materials need to create this box but as the workshop lasted only 4hrs we had to complete them at home.
I really enjoyed making this and choosing all the different elements to include and the lights just make it all the more magical I think.
Gave this as an Xmas pressie to my daughters mother-in-law who absolutely loved it and will treasure it always.
Land Cruiser Engine Configurations en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_F_engine
There are two basic engines for the FJ series: the type F engine and the type 2F engine. There are numerous diesel configurations starting from 3.0L–4.0L. Diesel engines are available and usually come from regions where the predominant fuel is diesel.
Type F
Used from 1955-1974, the Type F engine made the FJ famous: not the most efficient but virtually impossible to break! It was (and is) commonly known to run 500,000–600,000 miles without a problem. It was constructed as a 3.9 liter naturally aspirated, in-line six cylinder engine. The F series of engines were deliberately engineered to be similar to GMC L6 OHV 235 engines but improved upon its inspiration to suit the FJ’s needs.
Type 2F
Running from 1975–1988, The 2F improved on the F, increasing engine size to 4.2L. This engine is a little bit more efficient and powerful than the F engine, but it still has the same feel that FJ drivers love.

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based on historical facts. BEWARE!
Some Background:
During November 1981, Kawasaki was selected as the main contractor to design and manufacture a suitable trainer aircraft to meet the needs of Japan's MT-X program, having beaten out rival bids from Mitsubishi and Fuji. The MT-X program had been launched to procure a replacement for the aging Lockheed T-33 and Fuji T-1 jet trainer aircraft then in service in the Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF). Furthermore, there was also a desire for the prospective trainer aircraft to take over some of the syllabus that was being handled by the contemporary Mitsubishi T-2, a supersonic trainer variant of the Mitsubishi F-1 fighter aircraft. The initial program planned for a production run of 220 aircraft and an entry into service date of 1988.
The type had to demonstrate a range of transonic aerodynamic effects, as well as achieving a high level of maneuverability, a relatively low operating cost, and high reliability levels. Easy handling was also required so that trainees could convert from the piston-engine Fuji T-3 after accumulating only 70 flying hours. Furthermore, the economics for operating the type was to be comparable to the leading international competitors at that time.
The design had to incorporate other political desires as well. There was a great value placed upon powering the type with the first all-Japanese production turbofan engine, the Ishikawajima-Harima F3-IHI-30. Reportedly, the selection of a twin-engine configuration for the trainer was one of the easiest decisions taken, being made not just for engine power but from a high priority being placed upon safety. A robust, damage-tolerant, and long-lived structure was also specified for the trainer; to achieve this, it was decided to make limited use of composite materials in the form of carbon fiber and kevlar in areas such as the nose tip and elements of the rear wing, tail unit, and undercarriage. Extensive use of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) techniques was also applied.
Out of these efforts emerged the T-4, a clean-sheet indigenously developed trainer aircraft. According to aerospace publication Flight International, it was considered plausible for the T-4 to have been a competitive product upon the global trainer aircraft market if it had been priced appropriately, but such export opportunities were denied by a long-standing Japanese policy that prevented any military export sales. As such, there was no realistic prospect of the type being sold to overseas customers and it was from the start developed with the understanding that the T-4 would be used only by the JASDF.
On 29 July 1985, the prototype for the type, designated as the XT-4, performed its maiden flight. On 28 June 1988, the first production T-4 conducted its first flight; deliveries to the JASDF began in September of that year. Manufacture of the T-4 was performed by a consortium consisting of Mitsubishi, Fuji, and Kawasaki, the latter providing leadership over the venture. Originally, an eight-year production run was planned for, but production was resumed in the late Nineties for a dedicated attack variant of the T-4, the Kawasaki A-2.
The A-2 had its roots in the Japanese FS-X program that eventually spawned the Mitsubishi F-2 multirole fighter, the result of lengthy and tedious negotiations between Japan and the USA that had started in 1984. The F-2 was derived from the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, with a 60/40 split in manufacturing between Japan and the United States. The basis of the F-2's design was the F-16 “Agile Falcon”, an unsuccessful offer by General Dynamics to provide a low-cost alternative for the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) competition that eventually yielded the USAF’s F-22.
F-2 production started in 1996 and the first aircraft entered service in 2000, even though production numbers remained low and in 2008 only the 76th of 98 planned production aircraft had entered service. The F-2 was to replace Japan’s first indigenous supersonic fighter aircraft, the F-1, and Japan’s aging F-4EJ fleet in the strike role. However, the F-2’s concept and the F-1 retirement left the JASDF with a tactical gap in the homeland defense: a sturdy and relatively light and economical strike aircraft that would primarily operate at low altitude and over home terrain, to support ground forces, fend off potential landing troops and attack naval targets relatively close to the coastline. Taking out small, moving ground targets with precision ammunition and engaging enemy helicopters and low-flying aircraft were also included into the aircraft’s requirements.
Again, Japan decided to go its own way and develop an indigenous solution, called the LA-X program, tailored to domestic needs. To save development time and money (and learning from previous projects that had taken much longer than expected to materialize), the existing Kawasaki T-4 airframe was chosen as development basis in 1993. What spoke for the T-4 was its sturdy, damage-tolerant structure, ease of maintenance and the existence of a complete infrastructure within the JASDF. The T-4’s production line at Kawasaki's plant in Gifu was also still fully available, and it was assumed that the first production aircraft would arrive at JASDF units from 1998 on.
To create a true attack aircraft from the two-seat trainer, considerable modifications had to be made. The most obvious and dramatic change was a completely new front section with an armored cockpit for just a single pilot and the integration of an internal gun. The nose was lowered and wedge-shaped to improve the pilot’s field of view, which also sat further forward now. This was further improved by unusually deep side windows that greatly enhanced the pilot's field of view downwards. To generate space for new/additional equipment in the nose tip (see below) the new twin wheel front landing gear now retracted backwards. The cockpit glazing consisted of flat, armored panels and gave the aircraft a rather brutish look, reminiscent of the Soviet Suchoj Su-25 “Frogfoot”. Additional composite armor material was integrated into the lower fuselage to protect the cockpit, the engines and other vital components placed between them. The odd new cockpit arrangement quickly earned the aircraft the nickname 'Sasori' (Scorpion Fish, which was never officially adopted but frequently used in public media and even in military circles.
Under the nose tip was a small turret with a laser rangefinder/target designator for precision ammunitions, Mk82 and M117 smart bombs outfitted with the indigenous GCS-1 IR seeker head could be deployed, too.
While the aircraft did not feature a search radar with a classic radome in the nose to keep the pilot's field if view free, an avionics pallet with a relatively simple J/AWG-12 radar could be mounted in the electronics bay behind the cockpit, and using one of the MFDs in the cockpit to show the radar's readings. However, under the nose and behind the small laser sensor turret, a flat doppler radar scanner was installed to enhance low-level operations and navigation. To make the optional J/AWG-12 operational, though, a small radome had to be carried in an external pod, normally on one of the stations under the air intakes. This gave the LA-X high operational flexibility and even a limited all-weather capability. The radar also enabled the aircraft deploy the indigenous Type 80 and Type 93 (also known as ASM-1 and -2, respectively) air-to-ground missiles, primarily against naval targets but also capable of engaging land targets.
In the lower hull, mounted into the right side of the landing gear well, a 25mm Oerlikon KBA autocannon was integrated, a potent weapon that was already in use by the JGSDF and mounted to some light armored vehicles. The Oerlikon KBA was a positively locked, gas-operated cannon with a rotating bolt head and a dual-belt selective feed system. The nominal rate of fire in burst mode was 600 rpm but it could be adjusted electronically and reduced from single shots through four-round bursts to a selectable automatic fire range between 175 to 300 rounds per minute. For the LA-X it was rigged to a new lightweight mount, which itself was fixed to a service pallet that could be lowered for easy field maintenance. Ammunition was carried in two containers that held up 150 rounds each and could be quickly exchanged, reducing turnaround time, too. Due to its firepower, its range of available ammunition types and an "Instant Ammunition Selection Device" (IASD), which allowed the gunner to easily switch between armor-piercing and high-explosive rounds from the two feeds, the KBA cannon could effectively engage a wide range of targets, including lightly armored vehicles, infantry, anti-tank positions, helicopters, combat aircraft and even ships.
Other visible differences from the T-4 were enlarged leading edge extensions at the wing roots that improved the aircraft’s low-speed handling, and small wing fences. Not visible were several reinforcements to fuselage, landing gear and the wings, so that the aircraft could better cope with the raised overall weight and the expected rigid maneuvers at low altitude while maintaining the T-4’s service life expectancy of 7.500 flying hours. The number of hardpoints was raised from five to nine – an additional pair of pylons was added to the wing tips for defensive air-to-air missiles like the AIM-9 Sidewinder or the indigenous AAM-3/Type 90 missile. Another pair of hardpoints was added underneath the air intakes, even though these could only hold light loads of up to 500 lb (227 kg) each and were primarily intended to carry external sensor pods like an LANTIRN system for all-weather capabilities or ECM pods. However, single Mk. 82 bombs or LAU-7 pods with unguided 70 mm rockets could be carried on them, too.
With a raised ordnance load of 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) and the changes to the airframe, the LA-X’s maximum TOW was raised from 7.500 kg (16,535 lb) to 10.000 kg (22.026 lb). This was compensated for through uprated Ishikawajima-Harima F3-400-I turbofan engines, a development of the T-4’s F3-IHI-30 engines. The F3-400-I featured an upgraded high-pressure turbine and an improved FADEC, which delivered 25% more thrust and could theoretically even be outfitted with an afterburner, even though this was not intended for the LA-X. Overall performance, except for the initial rate of climb, did not change much, though.
Despite its T-4 ancestry, the LA-X received a separate JASDF service designation and became the A-2.
The overall development lasted – notwithstanding the attempt to speed the process up – for almost ten years, though. The first serial production A-2s were delivered in late 2002 and gradually replaced the last operational Mitsubishi F-1 fighter bombers in JASDF service until 2006. A total of 64 machines were ordered and produced; the final batch of eight factory-new A-2s was delivered until 2008, and the machines were allocated to two wings, based in Southern and Northern Japan, the JASDF's 308th and 309th hikotai, respectively.

The kit and its assembly:
In the past, I have converted a number of Kawasaki T-4s into fictional Saab Sk 90 trainers, even though these were primarily cosmetic and not structural mods. When I recently finished a Hungarian Sk 90 in a soviet-style sand/green livery, it struck me that the T-4’s outlines resemble those of the (bigger) Suchoj Su-25’s a lot. From this inspiration the idea of a single-seater attack variant of the T-4 for the JASDF, maybe as a simpler/modest replacement for the indigenous F-1 for 2000 onward, was born.
Adapting the two-seater to the attack role required a new cockpit section, and I went for a thorough conversion: instead of simply making it a single seater from OOB parts (like the Mitsubishi F-1 with a faired-over rear cockpit) I transplanted the front section from a Eurocopter PAH-1 Tiger, with its short nose, the whole front cockpit and the flat panel canopy. It turned out to be a little wider than the T-4 fuselage, but the area behind the new cockpit had to be sculpted with 2C putty, anyway, so I wrapped this filler section around the whole hull, smoothing out the transitional area. The result looks pretty brutal, though!
Due to the modified cockpit position the front landing gear well was modified (effectively reversed) and a sturdier front wheel strut with twin wheels was installed.
The rest of the hull as well as the wing surfaces were taken OOB. Bigger LERXs and small wing fences were sculpted from 0.5mm styrene sheet. Missile launch rails from an Italeri BAe Hawk were added and blended into the rounded original wing tips, too, as well as an additional pair of underwing pylons and hardpoints under the fuselage and the air intakes.
The ordnance, consisting of a pair of ASM-1 missiles as well as four IR-guided Mk. 82 bombs on twin racks and a pair of AAM-3 missiles on the wing tips came from a Hasegawa 1:72 JASDF weapon set. A small LANTIRN pod was scratched from a piece of sprue and mounted to one of the hardpoints under the air intakes.
Painting and markings:
Finding a suitable yet somewhat authentic livery for the A-2 was not easy. I initially favored a bronze green/dark earth “tiger stripe” livery with additional black contrast lines, similar to the JASDF AH-1s, but eventually rejected that because it would IMHO not work well on a fast aircraft that would also operate a lot over naval terrain.
After some search I settled on a rather fragmented (but quite attractive) “Lizard/Europe One” camouflage variant, carried by Japanese C-130s, consisting of FS 34092, 34102 and 36118, with uniform grey undersides. For the model I used Humbrol 149, 117 and 125, respectively. The enamel paints turned partyl out to be of dubious Chinese production (both green tones), so that the paint finish did not turn out as good as expected - too much paint ended up on the model to make the paint coats truly opaque. Later post-shading with slightly lighter tones, after a black ink washing, mended the issue a little, but unfortunately the overall paint quality is rather poor. Hrmpf. :-(
The cockpit tub was painted in anthracite (Revell 06), while the air intakes and the landing gear and its respective wells were painted in glossy white - very conservative. The Japanese Sidewinders and the ASM-1s became medium grey, while the IR-guided bombs received blue training bodies (instead of "hot" iron bombs in olive drab) as a nice color detail.
Decals/markings mostly came from the T-4's OOB sheet, and as a final step the model was sealed with matt acrylic varnish what somewhat improved the poor paint finish, too - but's still not what I expected to achieve.
Even though primarily onle the nose was changed this conversion made the stubby T-4 look like a very much different aircraft - and it inspires many associations, including Su-25 and Yak-130 elements, you can see a gekko and even a scorpion fish in it (what eventually earned it its nichname ;-)). While the paint finish is not as convincing as hoped for I think the overall impression of a JASDF attack aircraft is certainly there, the A-2 looks quite plausible (and ugly, too!).

Inveneo is proud to be an implementing partner with Creative Associates in the Tanzania 21st Century Basic Education Program (Tz21) where our role is to lead the technology intervention design and deployment with Kicheko Ltd, our Inveneo Certified ICT Partner (ICIP) in Tanzania. Together, Inveneo and Kicheko have been instrumental in introducing sustainable technology solutions that are relevant to rural Tanzanian schools that often lack electrical power and ICT skilled staff.
Recently we passed a major milestone in the program - the deployment of information and communication technologies to 5 pilot schools.
Dr. H.E. Kavishe of Kicheko, Wayan Vota and Jen Overgaag of Inveneo, assisted by a cadre of Kicheko technicians, installed a mix of laptops, desktops, LED projectors and related networking and power equipment at Naliendele, Kambarage, Darajani, and Kisiwandui Primary Schools, and Machakaeni Teacher Center.
The pilot deployment is testing technology configurations and the installation was used to train local engineers on Inveneo installation methodologies in preparation for the major ICT deployment to all schools, scheduled for early 2012.

I went on a one day workshop at Blade Rubber just before Xmas - run by Susie Jefferson and she taught us how to make this Tim Holtz's Configurations box. Since it was nearing Xmas naturally it was themed accordingly.
We were supplied with practically all the materials need to create this box but as the workshop lasted only 4hrs we had to complete them at home.
I really enjoyed making this and choosing all the different elements to include and the lights just make it all the more magical I think.
Gave this as an Xmas pressie to my daughters mother-in-law who absolutely loved it and will treasure it always.
After a power off and on it recovered...
What does this mean on a failed reboot.... The Windows Boot configuration Data (BCD) store file contains some invalid information. WINDOWS 7
That message indicates that your computer's Boot Configuration Data (BCD) file has become corrupted or contains errors. The BCD is a critical file that tells your computer how and where to boot the Windows operating system. When it's invalid, the system can't find the necessary files to start Windows, leading to a failed reboot.
What is the BCD?
The BCD is a file that holds important boot-related information. Think of it as a map for your computer's startup process. . It tells the computer things like:
Which hard drive and partition to boot from.
The location of the Windows operating system files.
The boot menu options (if you have more than one operating system installed).
When the BCD file is "invalid," it means the map is unreadable or has wrong directions, so your computer gets lost during the boot process.
Why does the BCD get corrupted?
Several things can cause the BCD to become invalid:
Sudden power loss during a system update or file write operation.
Improper shutdown of the computer.
Hard drive failures or bad sectors.
Malware or virus attacks that target system files.
Installing a new operating system in a way that overwrites or corrupts the existing boot data.
How to Fix the Problem
The most common way to fix an invalid BCD is by using the Windows 7 installation or repair disc. Here's the general process:
Boot from the installation media. You may need to change the boot order in your computer's BIOS.
Choose "Repair your computer" from the installation screen.
Navigate to the System Recovery Options and select "Command Prompt."
In the Command Prompt, you can use specific commands to rebuild the BCD. The most common commands are:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
These commands will scan your system for a Windows installation and rebuild the BCD file with the correct information, effectively creating a new, valid "map" for your computer to follow.
I just did a power reset....
When you perform a power reset, also known as a hard reset or power cycle, you're essentially clearing all temporary data from your computer's memory (RAM) and some peripheral devices. This is different from a simple restart or shutdown because it physically drains all power from the system, forcing it to reload everything from scratch.
How a Power Reset Works
A power reset involves three main steps:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug all power sources. This includes the AC power cord for desktops and the battery and AC adapter for laptops.
Hold down the power button for 15-30 seconds. This drains any remaining electrical charge from the capacitors on the motherboard and other components. .
Why do a Power Reset?
A power reset can fix various issues by clearing temporary glitches or corrupted data that a regular restart can't fix. It's often used when:
Your computer is frozen or unresponsive and a normal shutdown isn't possible.
Peripherals like USB devices, monitors, or keyboards are not working correctly.
The computer turns on but doesn't show anything on the screen (a "no POST" situation).
You are experiencing boot-related issues, as it can sometimes resolve minor conflicts that prevent the system from starting properly.
When NOT to do a Power Reset
While a power reset is a powerful troubleshooting tool, it's not a solution for every problem. It's not the same as a factory reset, which wipes your hard drive. A power reset won't erase your files, but it also won't fix software-level issues like corrupted drivers or a failing operating system. For those problems, you'd need to use software-based solutions like system restores or reinstallation.
