Given that Champaign County, Illinois, is home to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, scores of famous people have lived here over the years. Yet the county chose to single out one group. The sign lies along U.S. Route 45 at the southern border of the county. The view is looking northward.

You will notice I have given each individual a superhero-style name in the title of the image. This is the all-yellow "Virgin Mary" in contrast to the related "Dirty Mary" (brown and yellow) and "Bloody Mary" (red and yellow). This is for my own reference mainly because practically none of these caterpillars are identified (maybe even ever formally) and this will allow me to group the growing number of images I have into their like-kinds including the various instars I have captured. The names will be included as tags.

The magnificent keep at Conisbrough Castle is one of South Yorkshire’s most striking landmarks. The castle was the centre of a great Norman lordship, given by William the Conqueror to William de Warenne. The keep was probably built in the 1170s or 1180s. Escaping damage in the Civil War, it became a picturesque ruin in the 18th and 19th centuries, and inspired Sir Walter Scott's most famous novel, Ivanhoe, published in 1819.
With floors and roof restored in the lofty circular keep you can fully appreciate the magnificence of the original 12th century building. Delve into the medieval world of Lord and Lady de Warenne. Hamelin was the illegitimate son of Geoffrey of Anjou (father of the Plantagenet dynasty) and half-brother of Henry II. Isabel was the 4th Countess of Surrey, and the wealthiest heiress in the land.
‘Conisbrough’ comes from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘Cyningesburh’, meaning ‘the king’s borough’. Little is known of the site before the Norman Conquest, but Conisbrough town was certainly important long before then: a major Anglian church, now the church of St Peter, stood here, probably as early as the 8th century, and is the oldest standing building in South Yorkshire.
Conisbrough may have been a royal estate and minster of the Anglian kings of Northumbria: throughout the Anglo-Saxon and Viking periods, it seems to have been the most important place in South Yorkshire.
In 1086 Domesday Book recorded that the estate included 28 townships, stretching east to the Lincolnshire border and south to Harthill, and so covering most of the south-east corner of the West Riding. Before the Norman Conquest the estates were in the hands of King Harold. www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/conisbrough-castle/
UCA students were given the opportunity to build a stuffed animal during the Build A Bear event in the student center on Tuesday. Students were provided with numerous options for animals and stuffed the bears themselves. They could also personalize their bear with a custom screen printed t-shirt. The event was sponsored by the Student Activities Board.
Given that this is a museum dedicated to the sex organs, I'm not 100% sure that this particular sculpture is sending a positive message. I'll leave that for you to decide...

I have given myself an April 1st deadline, then I'll be off to munki rehab.
These are the last couple prints I am looking for. I know that they are HTF and VHTF.
I need:
only a piece big enough to show the print or one "scene" on larger prints
I have to swap:
munki lots..some just charms, some other htf, some larger pieces
other fabrics: some in photostream, but many others too.
I am willing to swap uneven pieces (larger pieces, fq, 1/2 yards or even yards of some). I think you can see my desperation coming through.
basically..let me know what you'd like and hopefully I can do it!
I will be forever grateful.
Thanks, Jill
edit: I don't have FMF, too late to the fabric junkie party for those--except brown barbells

Given abundant rainfall and warm sun, nearly everything grows here. You can literally eat the snap green beans right off the stalk.
Duke Givens is years into and still passionate about an interesting, community-oriented photography project. From what I saw, he gets his subjects to let him into their lives for intimate portraits. (Unfortunately my snapshot was not well-timed and is not too flattering!)

Given that there's not a day in the office without serious phone or internet issues I started wondering if we might need this guy here!
The F-86L was the designation given to late-1950s conversions of existing USAF F-86Ds to use the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) datalink system.
The SAGE system was developed during the early 1950s by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory. It was based on the use of a large, high-speed ground-based computer to handle and coordinate air surveillance data from various ground radar installations. This information was transmitted in real-time to a special data receiver aboard the interceptor, and an on-board system converted this data into heading, speed, altitude, target bearing, and range information that would be used to guide the pilot in his interception. No voice instructions were used, and the interceptor was automatically positioned for a lead-collision attack with its own E-4 fire control system.
In the mid 1950s, it was decided to adapt the F-86D to the new SAGE system, and in 1956, 2192 conversion kits were ordered for the F-86Ds of the Air Defense Command (ADC). Under a project code-named Project Follow-On, starting in May of 1956, certain low-time F-86D interceptors were withdrawn one-by-one from service and fitted with the upgrade. This work was done at North American plants in Fresno and Inglewood, California. Following the upgrade, they were redesignated F-86L. All F-86L block designations were changed to reflect their original F-86D block numbers. The F-86D-10 to F-86D-45 became F-86L-11 to F-86L-46, but blocks 50, 55, and 60 just changed the type from D to L, that is, the F-86D-50 became F-86L-50.
When F-86Ds were upgraded to the F-86L configuration, an AN/ARR-39 datalink receiver was fitted, which had a blade-like antenna sticking out of the fuselage just forward of and below the starboard wing. The AN/ARC-27 command radio of the F-86D was replaced by an AN/ARC-34 set. An AN/APX-25 identification radar was added, and a new AN/ARN-31 glide slope receiver was provided.
All Follow-On aircraft were brought up to F-86D-45 standards before starting with the electronics upgrades, including the installation of the drag chute in the tail. In the F-86L, two protruding cooling air intakes were added to the fuselage sides just aft of the wing, replacing the older recessed cooling ducts. The same J47-GE-33 or J47-GE-17B engine of the F-86D was retained, but the F-86L was fitted with the F-86F-40 wing, with twelve-inch wingtip extensions and "6-3" leading edge extensions with slats. The wingspan and wing area were 39.1 feet and 313.37 square feet respectively. The new wing improved the handing ability and provided better turning at high altitudes. The reconditioned F-86Ls retained the armament of twenty-four rockets of the F-86D.
The first flight took place on December 27, 1955. That particular aircraft had just the SAGE equipment installed, and the first conversion incorporating all of the Follow-On changes did not fly until May of 1956. A total of 981 F-86Ds were modified to the F-86L configuration. After conversion in 1956-57, F-86Ls were issued to most of the ADC wings that were using the F-86D. First to receive the F-86L was the 317th FIS at McChord AFB, which first received the planes in late November of 1956. The service of the F-86L with the ADC was destined to be quite brief, since by the time the last F-86L conversion was delivered, the type was already being phased out in favor of the Convair F-102A and F-106A delta-winged interceptors. The last F-86Ls left ADC service by 1960.
As F-102A and F-106A interceptors became available to the ADC, the F-86Ls were transferred to Air National Guard units beginning in late 1957. The first ANG squadron to receive the F-86L was the 108th, based at O'Hare Field in Chicago. The following ANG squadrons got F-86Ls: 108, 111, 124, 127, 128, 133, 146, 147, 151, 156, 156, 158, 159, 173, 181, 182, 185, 187, 190, 191, 192, 194, 197, and 199.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, six ANG F-86L squadrons were on alert. The last F-86Ls were withdrawn from ANG service during the summer of 1965.
In 1964, seventeen F-86Ls were supplied to the Royal Thai Air Force. So far as I am aware, Thailand was the only foreign user of the F-86L. They served with No. 12 Squadron at Don Maung Airport until they were finally retired in 1976.
Specification of the F-86L:
Engine: One General Electric J47-GE-33, 5550 lb.st. dry, 7650 lb.st with afterburner. Performance: Maximum speed: 693 mph at sea level, 616 mph at 40,000 feet. Initial climb rate was 12,200 feet per minute, and service ceiling was 49,600 feet. Dimensions: wingspan 39 feet 1 inch, length 40 feet 3 inches, height 15 feet, wing area 313 square feet. Weights: 13,822 pounds empty, 18,484 pounds gross.

Well, I was afraid this day would come. Not the day that I missed a photo of the day for Project365, because I've done that before. But today is the day that I bow my head in shame of admission that I am throwing in the towel for Project365 for year 2010. Too much and too little has been going on. Hey, at least I got one year in. And what a year last year was.

The jigsaw was given to the owner by an old lady who didn't want to throw the jigsaw away as her family had instructed her to. The jigsaw was painted with watercolour and had a full size linen guide picture - used to make the two replacement pieces. Linda Hammas dated it as c1840, by the artist JR Barfoot, who was rather secretive about his side-line in jigsaw manufacture. It is a relatively early non-map jigsaw.
Its dark but fascinating wooden box can be seen in another photo. 'The Farm Yard' has about 35-40pc and is cut with a simple 'interlocking' frame and push-fit centre.
The image shows a very crowded farm yard, full of incident surrounded by thatched buildings with a landscape beyond. Labourers work on a hay wain and feed cattle, women fill a pail and feed chickens, there are bee hives, poultry and birds of all kinds, pigs cattle, horses and cows, and most surprisingly a peacock on the open shed roof.
"Canesadooharie" was the Native American name given to the Black River. This 111-mile river drains 467 square miles and consists of two major branches that meet in Elyria. Where the east and the west branches form the Black River mainstem, waterfalls celebrate the joining which will carry the water another 16 miles to Lake Erie. Local historian William G. Wickens said, "There's no doubt that it was the Black River that brought the steel mill." The river provided transportation, but the steel industry impacted the river's health.
Twin waterfalls mark the union of the east and west branches of the Black River. Remarkably preserved within the center of a busy city, these waterfalls are perhaps older than Lake Erie itself, as the waterfalls were being sculpted when an ancient forerunner to Lake Erie had its shore just north of where Cascade Park is located today. Like many of Lake Erie's waterfalls, Berea Sandstone forms the basis for creation. This stone was a popular building material because of its durability. If you look closely, you can see waves embedded into the sandstone before the sediments deposited 320 to 345 million years ago turned completely to stone.
Shale cliffs formed when water undercut layers of red-tinted Bedford Shale that lies beneath the sandstone. Older than sandstone, shale is quicker to erode. As the water weakened the shale, layers of rock collapsed, creating dramatic cliffs. Cascade Park is also a place to witness the heavy layer of glacial till that formed following the retreat of the Wisconsin glacier approximately 12,000 years ago. A 50-foot layer of till is exposed, revealing an even more recent glimpse at geological history.
A band of Wyandots were thought to have inhabitated a settlement near this area. In 1754, James Smith encountered the Wyandots and was taken captive. He lived with the tribe for four years until he was exchanged for Indian captives.
The City of Elyria got its start, in part, because of the economic power of the waterfalls. Herman Ely, a Massachusetts native who purchased this land as part of a Western Reserve transaction, established a small settlement in 1816. Eventually a mill produced meal and flour for nearby settlements. A flood destroyed the Red Mill in 1832. Foundation remains can be seen today near the West Falls. Ruins of a hydroelectric plant from the early 1900s can be seen near the East Falls.
Information From:
THE VERY BEGINNING–THE CITY OF NORWALK
The town of Norwalk was part of the land given as compensation to persons who suffered losses during British raids on Connecticut towns during the American Revolution. Some of the towns burned were Norwalk, New Haven, Danbury, Ridgefield, Fairfield, New London, Lyme, Groton and Greenwich, all common place names in “New Connecticut”, the Firelands.
Methodism in the Firelands area goes back to 1811 and the Rev. William Gurley. Rev. Gurley was born in Wexford, Ireland in 1757 and became a Methodist at a time when Methodists were considered dissenters and were looked down upon. At the age of thiry Gurley was priveliged to meet John Wesley, who licensed him to preach. When Civil War broke out in Ireland in 1798, Gurley moved to Connecticut and later settled in northern Ohio. It was there Rev. Gurley conducted the first Methodist services in a log schoolhouse.
THE DAYS OF THE CIRCUIT RIDER
The first Methodist Church Society of Norwalk was organized in 1823 with seven members with two circuit-rider preachers, Rev. Tru Pattee and James McIntyre. The society met in various homes of the members, in the schoolhouse and in the home of James Wilson. From 1823 to 1834 twenty itinerant pastors helped build up and supervise the Norwalk Society.
THE FIRST CHURCH
Having grown too large to meet comfortably in a private home, on November 24, 1829,the Methodist Society purchased a lot from Elisha Whittlesey and built a church on the lot facing Seminary Street. Unfortunately these early Methodists were unable to meet their obilgation and in the year 1845, the property was sold at sheriff’s sale. In 1846 an organization was formed called the “Methodist Meeting House Association”. Anyone could become a member by the payment of $10 and signing the Constitution. The purpose of this organization was to raise money to redeem the church property on Seminary Street. They succeeded in raising enough to regain the property on may 14, 1846.
THE SECOND CHURCH
After occupying the first church for nearly a quarter of a century, it was decided that the building had become too small and uncomfortable for the growing congregation now numbering 94. At a called meeting of the members of the society on December 26, 1853, it was decided to build a new church. The trustees immediately took possession of the lot on the corner of West Main Street and Whittlesey Avenue (later known as Benedict Avenue). The first load of stone was delivered and deposited early in January 1854. During the following summer, work was suspended due to the outbreak of cholera, which brought everything to a standstill. Work was resumed in May of 1855. Dedication services for the new church were held in 1868 with a membership of 143.
The final services in this church were held in May 1893.
THE PRESENT CHURCH
In July 1893 the Board of Trustees purchased the lot on the corner of West Main Street and State Street from John Gardiner. A Committee on Plans and Architect was formed and they hired S.R. Badgley of Cleveland to draft plans and specifications for the new church. On June 29, 1896, the tablet on the southeast corner of the present church was set. A copper-lined box containing a Bible, Hymnal, photos, etc. was placed in the wall just back of the stone tablet and built into the masonry. Dedication of the present church (minus the education wing) took place on February 14, 1897.
Construction on the Education Wing began in early 1969 and was completed in Feburary 1970. Remodeling of the sanctuary and rotunda area began in 1971. The service of consecration for the remodeled sanctuary was held on Sunday, June 1, 1975. In 1985 the rotunda was completed and the pastor’s offices were moved upstairs along with the business offices. This was the last major change made to the church.
Much movement is given to the viewer's eye as there is much clutter and no main object in this photo.
Given the often posh, WASP-like depiction that I usually give of New England, I figured some shoefiti was in order.
Pictish symbols - The name given to this and other similiar designs is "Crescent & V Rod" for lack of the actual name, as the assimilation of Pictish Culture into Gaelic Scot culture caused oral knowledge and the Pictish language to be lost.
We can only guess as to what they indeed mean?
Various books attempting to decypher such symbols have presented some compelling arguments, though nothing has been entirely 100% as yet?

I was given some Sprinkles red velvet cupcake mix from our tour guide as we couldnt make it to the bakery, on our trip to LA last September.
I finally had time to make them recently & I must admit they wernt too bad. Abit rich for 450 g of flour, sugar, food colour, cocoa & some pretty little dots. $14.00 US.The cake was very tender & not overly sweet & the cream cheese frosting was good too. It had loads of food colour in the mix as it turned your lips, teeth & tongue red (the kids thought it was funny!)
I was given three rolls of 35mm Kodak Technical Pan (expired 2002). I hunted around for a development scheme and finally settled on this. Mostly because I had Rodinal. I'm only posting in case some of you still have some in the fridge.
16 EI
Rodinal 1+150 for thirteen minutes
Agitate with 30 seconds initial inversions, then 3 inversions at 10 minutes,7 minutes,4 minutes, and 1minute counting down. (every 3 minutes)
Regular stop, fix and hypo.
I used 5ml of Rodinal in 750ml of H2O. That gives less than the recommended 10ml of Rodinal but the negatives really look great (full tone scale).
I had to figure out a curve profile as I felt (and still do) that the midtones were not right. Technical Pan is also a dust magnet; lots of healing tool. Even with Rodinal there is virtually no grain.
With this last roll I used a Yellow filter which made life easy to post process.
You taught me everything
And everything youve given me
I always keep it inside
Youre the driving force in my life, yeah
There isnt anything
Or anyone I can be
And it just wouldnt feel right
If I didnt have you by my side
You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were grey
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be what you have been to me
Youll always be you always will be the girl
In my life for all times
Mama, mama you know I love you
Oh you know I love you
Mama, mama youre the queen of my heart
Your love is like
Tears from the stars
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin you is like food to my soul
Youre always down for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
Yes you did
And you took up for me
When everyone was downin me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on
There was so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me
And say to me I can face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
Youll always be
You will always be the girl in my life
