Snapped at one of the launches during the visit to Waterford of the Irish National Hot Air Ballooning Championships. Great to see the balloons back in Waterford and hopefully they’ll be back again next time. A wonderful spectacle for all to see; floating high over the city and county.

It’s that time of year again, September 19th, and everyone’s favourite day: International Talk Like a Pirate Day. So get thee to the local taverns and be loaded to the gunnels with fathoms of ale!

Last year I ran the Dublin City Marathon to raise some money for the local Hospice Centre in Waterford City. This year I sadly cannot run that race again due to a wedding on the same day – nice one Damo, little consideration for the runners, no?
So instead I have undertaken a more modest achievement and decided to run the WLR FM Run for Life in aid of the new Solas Centre for cancer care in Waterford. The aim of the run is to get at least 500 entrants to raise at least Eur 500 each and as such get Eur 250,000 in 10 miles to help the creation of the centre. If anyone out there believes in this worthy charity or would like to sponsor me for the race then you can donate funds through MyCharity.ie and my page there http://www.mycharity.ie/event/jbwan/ All donations are welcome, no matter how big or small. The race takes place on the 19th of October around Waterford City. If you haven’t signed up yet, there’s still time if you’re interested.

…or at least according to Wino theory. Everyone in the cosmo world is holding their breaths at the moment in anticipation of PAMELA’s soon to be released findings on what they believe to be the discovery of dark matter. The team say that they have observed an unruly amount of positron production in space, the volumes that would be expected from dark matter collisions whereby particles are annihilating each other. Deadly stuff!
While the world waits for the official release, we gasp at the humour that another group who attended the initial briefing from PAMELA have already released findings based on a photograph taken of PAMELA’s research at the briefing! Clever or what?
