You know I am a "Gemini" born... and my birhday is at the end of May.
My Ascendent is "Virgin". And in the Chinese astrology I am a "Snake".
I think that mixture is the reason why I love surprises... and therefore all things that are surprising
- like a message in a window for example -
do attract me?

Explosions have been reported across Caracas, Venezuela as an apparent U.S. bombing campaign has begun targeting the country. This war is not about drug trafficking, it is not about democracy -- it is about stealing Venezuela's oil and dominating Latin America. It is an outrageous escalation in a campaign of murder in international waters and piracy targeting civilian ships trading with Venezuela.

One of the most surreal moments of the whole night was when I asked a question during the Q&A, and for a moment, Mark Cohen himself was there, answering *my* question, talking to *me*. I can't put into words the emotional weight those very few moments will have with me forever.
A question I still can't quite answer. Part nerd internment camp, part mass hallucination, part show biz expo. Love it or hate it - and there are things to love AND to hate - it's an undeniable force in pop culture and a world of its own.
This is a photograph from the Birr 5KM Road Race which was held in Birr Rugby Club, Birr, Co. Offaly, Ireland on Friday 31th July 2015 at 19:30. The race was held in unusually poor weather for this time of year with scattered showers of rain making it more like a March day than the end of July. However this did not stop about 200 people from participating in the event which was held as part 5 of the 6 Races Offaly Athletics Race Series The full set of photographs is available here www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157656191394658

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!

I always wondered if there was a "story" behind the bullfinch (domherre in Swedish) being such a popular motif for Christmas time, at least in the Nordic countries.
Well - today I found an answer! This story is from Norway.
From the Minneapolis Sons of Norway's Heritage Presentation program # 57:
THE CHRISTMAS BIRD
When the first snowflakes float down from wintry skies, the Norwegians start looking for the bird that has become closely associated with the Christmas season: the fluffy and cheerful bullfinch with its brilliant red or rosy feathers bringing a welcome burst of color to a bleak Nordic winter day. Flocks of bullfinches dot the naked branches of trees and bushes, swoop unexpectedly down into people’s gardens, crowding the sheaves of grain that people put up for the birds, and in general bring joy and excitement to both young and old. In
many areas of Norway it is referred to simply as “the Christmas bird.”
In Norwegian the bird is called dompap (DOHM’pahp), and its name has a double meaning. The first syllable of its name, dom, is pronounced the same way as the Norwegian word for foolish, so one interpretation of dompap (DOHM’pahp) is that it means “fool.” But don’t think for a minute that the dompap is a dummy! Far from it. Its name is derived from the German Dompfaff (DOHM’pfaff), which means “canon” and refers to the brightly colored clothing worn by some of the clergy. Namewise, the closest American equivalent to the dompap would thus be the cardinal.
According to legend, the dompap, or bullfinch, got its red color when it tried to pull the thorns out from the crown that was placed on Christ’s head. Blood streaming from Christ’s wounds wet the bird’s breast and the red color became its badge of honor.
The Cherokee Indians also have a beautiful explanation for the bullfinch’s color. According to their tradition, the bullfinch helped a wolf gain its eyesight back. To show its gratitude, the wolf led the bullfinch to a cliff with a broad stripe of red running across it. The little bird flew up to the cliff and painted its breast the brightest red and was named “red bird” from then on.
In the old days, the bullfinch was a messenger of both good and bad tidings. If the first bird to feed in the sheaf of grain set out for Christmas was a bullfinch, it would be a good year. In some places people believed that if the bullfinch came out of the woodlands in the winter, this meant that the weather would be bad with lots of snow and cold days.
The bullfinch is not known as a songbird—its song is rather low and grating—but it is a very good imitator. In earlier days, young bullfinches were caught and trained to imitate short melodies. People kept caged bullfinches in their home and the training and exporting of the birds was at one time a full-blown business.
But the bullfinch was not well-suited for a life in captivity. Sudden excitement or agitation could be fatal. One of the many stories to illustrate this tells about a tame bullfinch living with an old woman. She used to let the bird fly around in her house, singing its songs and doing whatever it felt like doing. But one afternoon the bird was so active that she could not stand the constant fluttering around. She put the bird in its cage and covered it up. The bird sang a couple of notes and then grew silent. When she checked on it, it was dead.
Tame bullfinches were believed to have the ability to cure serious illnesses like jaundice and lung diseases. People believed that a caged bullfinch in the sick room would extract the disease from the affected person. Did it actually work? Well, the story does not tell and there is probably not a Norwegian around today who has tried the bullfinch cure, but the bird is beneficial to modern Norwegians in other ways.
No other bird can create such a feeling of cheerfulness and good expectations. One of the most popular Norwegian paintings from the last century shows a bullfinch fluffing its rosy feathers against a background of virgin-white snow and the bullfinch motif is used over and over again on the Christmas cards Norwegians send to their family and friends.
