What?, Where?
I've been keenly awaiting this one since I saw the planning notice go up.
Pig's Head in the Pottage Pot Gant.
And yes every time I think of it I start to giggle.
And yes it is in Braintree, right in the centre.
Don't forget you saw it here first.
The Iceland sign does rather give it away.
Since already some two years there is another excellent café in Brussels, Place Fontainas. They only serve special-beers from traditional breweries.
An art installation in Crystal City's Water Park (no, the phone handset didn't play any music or anything when I picked it up).
Thaipusam actually celebrates the birthday of the Hindu deity Subramaniam. On this occasion, Hindus show the sincerity of their faith. It is a time for making and fulfilling vows. Devotees pray for divine help and make vows. When their prayers are answered, they fulfil their vows.
To do this, a devotee would pierce his cheeks, tongue, face or other suitable body parts with sharp objects. Next his friends or relatives load a *kavadi on his shoulder. Finally, in a trance-like manner, he goes on a 4km journey of faith.
Others, including young children, might join the procession carrying only milk pots. The Thaipusam Singapore procession starts at the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple on Serangoon Road and ends at the Sri Thandayuthapani Temple on Tank Road.
At first look, one might think that the festival starts at one temple and ends at another. Not so. Many of the devotees start fasting a month before the Thaipusam Singapore festivities. Others fast a week. Yet others three days.
A Hindu friend said this to me, "If you are going to put a 12-inch skewer through your cheeks and a hundred spikes in your chest, you'd better take your fast seriously!"
* A kavadi is a cage-like structure carried by devotees during the Thaipusam Festival.
It is traditionally decorated with peacock feathers and aluminium plates which show images of Hindu deities. Sharp spikes criss-cross its lower section.
An elaborate kavadi might weigh up to 15kg! It is quite something just to lift it. But these chaps I saw actually walked with them for 4km - kavadis, skewers, hooks, spikes and all!
Some of them even skipped and danced with their kavadis. Either they have great endurance or they have some supernatural help.
When we were five, they asked us what we wanted when we grew up… Our answers were things like astronaut, president… Or in my case, princess.
When we were ten, they asked us again and we answered – rockstar, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist.
But now that we’ve grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how ‘bout this: who the hell knows?!
This isn’t the time to make hard and fast decisions, it’s the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love – a lot. Major in philosophy ‘cause there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent… So make as many mistakes as you can.
That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… we won’t have to guess. We’ll know.

This is me at my Random Act of Kindness Station. I had A LOT of fun giving out watermelon to passersby.
(& yes, the sign is terribly janky - I ran out of time at 6am & decided sleeping for 2 hours was more important than a nice sign. :-P)

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

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs

The explaination is very simple.

ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
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!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
"God's answers are wiser than our questions." -- Taken from a church sign in Methuen, Massachusetts.
My husband and I have passed by this sign umpteen times in the past week or so, since we moved back to the area, but today it really spoke to me. Today, a cousin that I grew up with passed away from a freak car accident. While I am still in shock-- and that is the only way I can go about right now-- this sign gave me great comfort. Indeed, although my family may have many questions right now, God's answers will be best.
Anonymous postcard answering "wdydwyd?" (aka "why do you do what you do").
Start answering the question yourself on your Postcrossing postcards and tagging it "wdydwyd" or send one to the Tony — he started the project.

Pam and I love going to trivia on board ships. And I love sudoku competitions. So we always check the Cruise Compass to make sure that we do not miss any of these programs. On this cruise - we did the best we have ever done. We won trivia three times (one of which I will write about on my blog). It is a graphic trivia - so I only shared a bit in case they use it over and over. I also won Sudoku with the fastest correct answer. We never did as well as this cruise! Taken during our cruise on board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas for the Seven Night Labadee & Puerto Plata Cruise (November 6th through 13th, 2022). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayonne, NJ) with stops at Labadee, Haiti and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic before heading back to New York City. The itinerary changed after Hurricane Nicole canceled our planned stops.
When you are building a PowerShell script, there might be situations where you want to prompt for a piece of data. Some cmdlets like Get-Credential do that sort of task implicitly. You can also get prompting if you define a mandatory parameter in a function or script. Otherwise, we tend to rely ...
