This is a photograph from the 4th annual running the East of Ireland Marathons Staplestown Marathon, Half Marathon and 10KM road races which were held in the village of Staplestown, Donadea, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 23rd January 2016 at 09:00. The event is organised by East of Ireland Marathons with local support and input. The races all started and ended in the village of Staplestown which is about 2 miles from the entrance to Donadea Forest Park. All races were held on the same loop of approximately 10KM in distance where the marathon runners covered 4 loops plus a short out and back section, half marathoner covered 2 loops and some out and back and the 10KM runners simply completed the full loop. The loop is well known to local runners as it connects the village of Staplestown with the larger village of Properous, Co. Kildare.

The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.

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!

Provenant de Naples, Italie, le très bon duo d?Aspec(t) qui se focalise sur le timbre et le contrôle du son de manière radicale, allié à l?intensité viscérale du "nouvel" actionnisme, de la musique noise, de la recherche sonore sur divers dispositifs analogiques et de matériaux concrets de la poésie sonique. Le résultat donne corps à une fascinante et inextricable forêt de sons : structures frénétiques, explosions bruitistes, cris ancestraux, incessante perversion des paysages sonores et du cours temporel. Feedback, systèmes auto-régulés, mimétisme, mutations, animalité, dislocation asymétrique sont quelques-uns des mots-clés pouvant définir cet excellent duo napolitain, auteur d?un fantastique dernier album , "Abattoir" sur le label français NUUN RECORDS. Une excitante proposition, mélangeant allègrement les univers de disons John Butcher, Dave Phillips, Joke Lanz, Bruce Russel, Lionel Marchetti Jerôme Noetinger et Rudolf Eb.er.
Bref, une très bonne approche concreto-noise-actionist !

I made this lovely little hawaiian mini for our swap. It was finished, just need to wash out the blue marking lines....Had not pre washed the gold color, so as soon as it hit the water...the water was dark gold!!! Ohhh....rinse, and rinse, and soap, and rinse. Its still there, so bleach the thing.....All that did was ruin the lovely green. the smudges are still there....So,,,,, should I cut it up, throw it out, get out the paint and paint flowers all over it, ?????suggestions please???///// and NO laughing........

Diagram for the DIP switch circuit showing how the switches are wired as "active high", such that when a switch is on, the corresponding BS2 pin will see 5 volts or a logic level of 1. Stamp pins 0, 1, and 2 are used to input the binary values for setting the delay between drops, while pin 3 inputs the number of drops (off =1, on=2). The four pins 8-11connected to the second DIP switch set are used for the 4 bits (nibble) to input the drop size setting. Each DIP switch has a 4-wire cable (salvaged from a PC's old CD audio to sound card cable cut in half) with a 4-pin connector at the end that plugs onto 4 I/O pins of the BS2 microcontroller. The numbers represented in the DIP switch settings are used in a simple formula to calculate the times in milliseconds to keep the valve open or closed.
For this example we will be using a DVD Player. Plug the RCA Cable into the Input [IN] on the back of the Receiver.
Following the no-input approach, Stefan Tiefengraber is generating sound and video using only the inherent noise from two devices, a digital video mixer and a digital audio mixer. By connecting each mixer’s outputs directly to its own inputs, as well as transforming the video signals to audio signals, and the other way around, these two formerly widespread but now outdated devices, are brought back to life.

Design and construct an Arithmetic-Logic unit that contains a 4-bit register (R). The input to the unit shall be a 4-bit word (X) (in the sign-magnitude format if it represents a number) and a 3-bit control code (C). The unit shall perform the following operations:
OperationRegister Transfer
Load (LD)R ← X
Clear (CLR)R ← 0000
Set (SET)R ← 1111
Add (ADD)R ← R + X
Subtract (SUB)R ← R – X
Complement (NOT)R ← R
AND (AND)R ← R ∧ X
OR (OR)R ← R ∨ X
XOR (XOR)R ← R ⊕ X
Shift Right (SR)R ← |0 R(3:1)|
Shift Left (SL)R ← |R(2:0) 0|
Barrel Shift (BS)R ← | R(0) R(3:1)|
No Operation (NOP)R ← R
The unit shall display the contents of the storage register (R) on binary displays. Also indicate the register-overflow condition. If the contents of the storage register is a number, it shall be in the sign-magnitude format. The machine operation shall be initiated by a pushbutton “clock.”
The operations may be performed by hardware or by software operations if more appropriate. If an operation is performed by a software operation, write and test the machine language program that accomplishes the operation.
Write and test machine language programs that multiply positive numbers by 2 and 3. In each case a single number shall be entered as the multiplicand.

I added on a 1/8th stereo ( i should have used mono, oh well lol ) jack input.
Funny enough it has a spot on the board made perfect for the ground tab of the jack mount, then I soldered a wire to both left and right channel legs to the resistor right before the VR. Then I also have the RCA to 1/8 jack converter temporarily.
So I took one of those Plug in TV games and plugged in the RCA audio cable and whammo nice clean adjustable sound coming from the pinball speaker.
Now I just need to hook up my individual replacement sound circuits and join them at a hub under the playfield, then run one single male to male 1/8 cable from the hub to the sound board (12ft). This way the cable can be easily removed from either the sound board or the speaker output hub under the playfield for service.
More pictures and better details as the project develops. My MP3/WAV triggers should be here tomorrow.
All the speaker outputs from each of the 8-10 units will be wired in parallel to a single hub box under the playfield.
Unlike other devices this will allow multiple sounds to be played at once at least that's the hope. :)
Also again by original design I guess the chime sounds are silenced while the aux input is being used. If you unplug the RCA-1/8th adapter you get your game sounds back, if you want those anyway. :)
So basically this mod should qualify as a non permanent modification to any game features.
The clamps are holding the audio jack on until the gorilla glue dries. :)

Found this gem today while looking for some other things. Not only was I the only musician in town carrying a keyboard like a guitar, not many punk performers had perms or wore ascots (hee,hee). I have no idea who shot this atrosity.
The past 2 weeks has been a blast, we got a few meet ups in and took a lot of photos. Adri tends to take a lot of photos while we are talking or geeking out on lights haha.This is just a mixture of some photos from the last meet up. Some have been cropped and tweaked a bit in Camera Raw.
board from the back, fully wired, inputs with schielded cables.
The blank wire is ground. If you want to build such an amp, I strongly recommend not to do it like this, although it is shown in various tutorials. I got very strong annoying hum. So I cut off the ground wire at two points and had three seperate ground leads (pre-amp, phase splitter, output stage). I connected the pre-amp section to the input jacks ground and the rest to a ground point near the power transformer. Now the amp is very quiet.

Launch of the Mort Bay into Browns Creek, Taree - a tributary of the Manning River. The launch date was in November 1968. The launch site, including the rails, is still visible at Browns Creek.
After launch, Mort Bay was purchased by Harbour Lighterage Ltd. Circa early 1969 arrangements were made to add the superstructure needed suit her life as a tug.
MORT BAY DEPARTS FOR SYDNEY
The Mort Bay was loaded at the Manning River Co-op Dairy Society Ltd's wharf at Chatham in preparation for her voyage to Sydney via Newcastle.
REGISTERED IN SYDNEY - 1972
The Mort Bay was not registered until 23rd August 1972 - to the Rozelle Lighterage and Storage Co. Pty Ltd. Rozelle Lighterage & Storage may well have been a subsidiary of Harbour Lighterage Ltd.
OPERATION ON SYDNEY HARBOUR
As part of the fleet of tugs operating under Harbour Lighterage Ltd., Mort Bay was used constantly on numerous tasks. Her role as a tug terminated and she was sold by auction (for $34,000) at Rozelle on 10th September 1992 when Harbour Lighterage sold its fleet.
1992 PURCHASED AND SOLD TO JOHN? ALDRITT
Mori Flapan records Calico Jack as purchased by Aldritt (John?) in 1992 and sold in 2002. Little is known of her life at Coasters Retreat (Pittwater). She was later sold to Queensland interests – circa 2000.
This is the story of Calico Jack: John Rackham (hanged 18 November 1720), commonly known as Calico Jack, was an English pirate captain operating in the Bahamas and in Cuba during the early 18th century. His nickname was derived from the calico clothing that he wore, while Jack is a nickname for "John".
Rackham was active towards the end (1718–1720) of the "Golden Age of Piracy". He is most remembered for having two female crew members: Mary Read and his lover, Anne Bonny. Rackham deposed Charles Vane from his position as captain of the sloop Ranger, then cruised the Leeward Islands, Jamaica Channel and Windward Passage. He accepted the King's Pardon in 1719 and moved to New Providence, where he met Anne Bonny, who was married to James Bonny at the time. He returned to piracy in 1720 by stealing a British sloop and Anne joined him. Their new crew included Mary Read, who was disguised as a man at the time. After a short run, Rackham was captured by Jonathan Barnet, an English privateer, in 1720, put on trial by Sir Nicholas Lawes, Governor of Jamaica, and hanged in November of that year in Port Royal, Jamaica.

Lindsay Rex records Mort Bay was “purchased 10th September 1992 for $34,000 by Damian Fitzgerald (nominal owner Sylvia Willis) and recorded as named Calico Jack by March 2000 (in Port Macquarie)”. It seems possible that Damian Willis sold to Aldritt shortly after purchase. Any further information would be gratefully received.
CALICO JACK RE-LOCATED TO QUEENSLAND IN 2000
Little information is available on her life in Queensland. Mori Flapan records that she was “Refitted & converted to yacht and engine recently rebuilt by 2001. 2001/12 for sale at $155,000: In survey for 49 passengers by 2002”.
2002 SOLD AND RELOCATED TO PORTLAND – RE-NAMED TOWALONG
In June 2002 Calico Jack was purchased by Dale Jennings of Portland and re-located from Redcliffe in Queensland to Portland in Victoria via Newcastle (9th July 2002). By March 2003 she had been named Towalong [Lindsay Rex]. N.B. Mori Flapan records the owner as Malcolm Sinclair.
From 2002/04 she was displayed at the boat museum Portland, Vic. In late 2005, she was recorded as berthed in the Maribyrnong River, Melbourne [Mori Flapan]. In early 2006 the owner attempted to establish Towalong as a charter vessel in Melbourne but, after two months, the venture was unsuccessful and she was returned to Portland. [Lindsay Rex]
RENAMED MELBOURNE {MSV10590} CIRCA. LATE 2012 – OR CALICO JACK IN 2010
By late 2012 she is believed to have been renamed Melbourne {MSV10590}. Contrary to other reports, Lindsay Rex makes no mention of the naming of the Towalong as Melbourne {MSV10590}; conversely he records Towalong being renamed Calico Jack again in June 2010.
2015? - BELIEVED TO BE RE-NAMED LOAM?.
There is reference to the vessel being named Loam but no details are available [Mori Flapan] and hence the date 2015 is an educated guess. There may be a connection with the name of the restaurant LOAM that operated from Murradoc Farm, Drysdale (closed in June 2013).
On 7th September 2017 the vessel was lifted by mobile crane and placed on a low loader. The deckhouse, raised wheelhouse and funnel were removed before the lift [Lindsay Rex]
IN POOR CONDITION - TAKEN TO OAKDENE ESTATE, DRYSDALE
In 2017 Oakdene Estate purchased Murradoc Farm that comprised both an Olive plantation and a vineyard. On 7th September 2017 what is believed to known as Loam, the wooden double ended ex-tug was lifted by mobile crane and placed on a low loader on 7th September 2017 then transported to the Lighthouse Olive Oil farm site at Drysdale, where it was placed on the ground on 11th September 2017 with supporting steelwork. The deckhouse, raised wheelhouse and funnel had been removed before the lift and were then refitted to the hull. The vessel is to become a feature outside the adjoining shed which will be developed as the cellar door for Oakdene Wines. Both businesses and the vessel are owned by Bernard and Elizabeth Hooley.

RE-NAMED MORT BAY BY NEW OWNERS
The owners of Oakdene Estate refer to her by her original name - Mort Bay. The vessel is on hard stand. Recently repainted, she is located at Murradoc Farm, Drysdale.
LOCATION OF MORT BAY - ON MURRADOC FARM - 2024
The Mort Bay is located on the vineyard of Oakdene Estate (previously Murradoc Farm) off Anderson Road, Drysdale - not currently (2024) open to the public.
