....or Comma, I'm not certain, but it is an Angled-winged Butterfly......not in the best condition but I was happy to find this one, I've been trying for years. These resemble leaves or pieces of bark when the wings are folded, making them difficult to see. Thanks to monon738, this is a Question Mark.
Happy week end everyone!!!

Soldiers from the Virginia National Guard's Hampton-based Battery B, 1st Battalion, 111th Field Artillery, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team represent the modern military at the Military Through the Ages event March 16, 2013, at the Jamestown Settlement. Hundreds of reenactors depicting armed forces from the first century to modern times converged on Jamestown for the annual event, and the Virginia Guard Soldiers provided a static display featuring the M119A2 howitzer and answered questions from the attendees about their equipment and the Virginia Guard. The Soldiers also had the opportunity to join a crew to fire some of the period artillery pieces and were recognized with a plaque for their "enduring support" of the event.

There are times while looking over my shoulder that I find myself questioning where I have come from and where I am going to. On this day I am thankful for being able to ask these questions. I do know that I need to start preparing my contribution for today's Thanksgiving dinner!
Happy Thanksgiving!

The Lisbon Oceanarium’s conceptual design, architecture, and exhibit design was led by Peter Chermayeff and it is said to resemble an Aircraft carrier.
It houses a large collection of marine species — birds, mammals, fish, cnidaria, and other marine organisms totalling about 16,000 individuals of 450 species.
The main exhibit is a 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft), 5,000 m3 (180,000 cu ft) tank with four large 49 m2 (530 sq ft) acrylic windows on its sides, and smaller focus windows strategically located around it to make sure it is a constant component throughout the exhibit space. It is 7 m (23 ft) deep, which lets pelagic swimmers to swim above the bottom dwellers, and providing the illusion of the open ocean. The water in the central tank is kept at a temperature that will allow both temperate and tropical fish to live here. About 100 species from around the world are kept in this tank, including sharks, rays, tuna, barracudas, groupers, and moray eels. One of the main attractions is a large Sunfish.
"Anything going on this weekend?" I suspect my wife will answer this question at least two more times before Saturday. She reminded me that we were going to Starved Rock to see the eagles on Saturday.
"Oh yeah. Well, what about Sunday?"
"The Super Bowl is Sunday but we don't have any plans."
"The Super Bowl is THIS Sunday? Who's playing?"
The truth is, Jamie already told me once that day about Starved Rock but I cannot keep from flushing the data from my head when an idea pops in it. Jamie wanted a puppy for about two years or so but we kept putting it off. I am a "dog person" in every sense of the description but had drifted to a state of contentment without the chaos and burden a dog brings. In fact, I had actually grown to like the cats. One of them, anyway. All the same, it was clear on her face that when a puppy did not appear on her birthday, she was disappointed, despite her efforts to conceal it.
I guess I need to get us a dog.
" I was thinking that maybe we could look at one of the dogs at the shelter."
Jamie's entire body subtly responded to this suggestion. "Okay."
The excitement bubbled over and I was even becoming anxious about the prospect of having a dog again. On Sunday, I came home from work eager to have everyone pile in the van and run off to Huntley but the atmosphere had soured and I was in the dark as to why.
"The power is out in yours and Gabriel's room. I tried resetting the breaker a few times and unplugging some stuff, but it just keeps tripping, " reported our eldest son.
For crying out loud. I draw in a deep breath and remind myself not to kill the messenger. He helped me solve the problem and then I moved to the next task: finding out why the enthusiasm evaporated for the dog.
The pups she saw online that she liked were gone.
SIGH. "Well, why don't we just run over there and see if they have one we like?" I am getting a bit maniacal now -- I wonder if I am coming off like Clark Griswold after the moose tells him Wally World is closed.
Jamie relents and we five are soon on our way to Huntley. Our first four choices had been adopted and another that I liked was being cooed by a family like ours.
Dammit.
Jesse was selected from the web page and a volunteer brought him out for us to meet. Promising, I suppose. I glance at our eldest son, Jordan, and we immediately understand that if we don't act fast, the other three in the household were going to take this one home without any consideration of others. We ask to see Bucky and the young man tells me in a hushed voice that Bucky requires some extra attention and was brought back once because he was too anxious.
Great, a special needs dog?
Jesse was exchanged and Bucky made his defects of character obvious. I almost felt bad enough to take him out of pity. Bucky was returned and the guy suggested a look at Sarge.
"The St. Bernard? Uh, no thanks. Drool and a short life span was not on our qualities list."
We came home with Jesse and a I got a fat tax deduction for next year. Which brought us to the name. Around and around we went until we had decided on Chancellor, Chance for short. I was childishly happy, as I had been the one to come up with the name. It was short lived. By the time I got home on Monday, his permanent name was Lincoln, as selected by our youngest.
We should have named him Chews-on-the-couch-he-is-not-supposed-to-sit-on-but-does-anyway, but that may have been a bit too long.

Here's a question - if private businesses and security officials are sweating with panic at the thought of you taking photographs of such famous London landmarks, like Canary Wharf, The Gherkin, Victoria Station and so on, have they given up with Piccadilly? Or have they finally realised that it poses no security threat? Every single day, of every month, of every year, thousands of people pass through the world renowned Piccadilly Circus, and stop to take photographs. Any issues? Any terrorist bombs or an attempt to breach the peace? No.
This photograph proves the importance, photography plays a part in our every day lives, and in tourist spots, millions of cameras have been used in these ares since day one of photography. These two French tourists take a look at their snapshot, having not noticed me or my camera in the slightest, as nobody would take a second glance at somebody taking a photograph here.
110,000 Throughout Ireland Protested Against 64 Billion Euro Bank Debt - Were You There?
Have you ever noticed how often the number 64 appears in headlines and on posters. We in Ireland have a 64 Billion Euro debt, or so we are told. It is interesting to note that "The $64,000 Question" was an American game show broadcast from 1955–1958, which became embroiled in the scandals involving TV quiz shows of the day.
The organisers of today's protest march claimed that over 110,000 people took part in the demonstrations.but according to local media and police estimates the total country wide turnout was about 50,000.
The largest event took place in Dublin and according to local police about 25,000 took part while the organisers claim that at least 60,000 took part (maybe 64,000 took part). Today an experienced journalist explained to me that the police count the number of legs and divide by two and the protest organisers count the number of legs and divide by one (BTW that's a joke).
To be honest I do not know if anyone is even trying to be accurate but the following statement was issued by the ITCU:
9 Feb 2013
More than 110,000 people took part in demonstrations across the country today, in protest at the country’s continued bank debt burden.
The protests were organised by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and took place in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and Sligo.
Over 60,000 took part in the Dublin protest, while at least 15,000 turned out in Cork, 13,000 in Waterford, 10,000 in Limerick, 7,000 in Sligo and 5,000 I Galway.
Congress General Secretary David Begg told protestors at a rally in Dublin’s Merrion Square that bank debt problem had not been solved by the recent deal.
He vowed Congress would continue its bank debt campaign until the link between private bank debt and national debt was clearly broken.

Question 02: How do you get CTOs and Tech-Heads from the newspaper industry in India, together in one room?
Answer: Keep the event sponsors out of the room! hehe
Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.
