(Champion of the World in Blindfold Play)
(Weltmeisterim Blindspiel)
Original by Henry Grob - Zurich
Sculpture of St George by one of the three great portals of Cologne Cathedral's south transept facade.
The doors of this facade were destroyed by bomb blast during the Second World War and replaced by intriguing contemporary designs.
Also damaged were some of the sculptures at the outer extremities of the portals; these were completely removed in the postwar restoration and have only recently been reinstated with newly carved replicas, which in their whiteness currently stand out in contrast to their older companions (this work began in the 1990s, on my previous visit here in 1995 eight of these new figures were being temporarily exhibited inside the south transept.)
George Humphries Smith was the second Chief Ranger, serving from 1971-73. He grew up in Utah and Arizona and served in the U.S. Army during the Second World War. Additional biographic information can be learned about him in the blog link below:

Today I finished the faceup of my Dreaming El head, which was waiting since last Christmas for some colour!
His look is inspired from the early 80's New Romantic / Blitz Kids scene (like Boy George used to look before he got popular ^^).
Democracy for Scotland: The Referendum Experience was launched at the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum on 27th April, 2012.
The exhibition was formally opened by MSP Linda Fabiani and the launch was attended by many of the interviewees who contributed their recollections of the 1979 and 1997 devolution campaigns to the Devolution Referendums Oral History Collection at the Scottish Political Archive
Democracy for Scotland focuses on the campaign for a Scottish Parliament in the second half of the twentieth century. In particular it chronicles the history behind the two devolution referendums of 1979 and 1997 and explores the nature of the Yes and No campaigns for both referendums, their results and the re-establishment of a Scottish Parliament.
The exhibition draws largely on the collections of the Scottish Political Archive (SPA). SPA is based at the University of Stirling and is dedicated to collecting oral and other material relating to the political history of Scotland in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The exhibition features referendum campaign materials including leaflets, pamphlets, posters and badges deriving from all the major political parties and umbrella groups. It also offers visitors the opportunity to hear the voices of politicians and campaigners discussing their experiences of the referendums of ’79 and ‘97, the intervening period and the establishment of a Scottish Parliament.

George Eastman (July 12, 1854 – March 14, 1932) was an American innovator and entrepreneur who founded the Eastman Kodak Company and popularized the use of roll film, helping to bring photography to the mainstream. Roll film was also the basis for the invention of motion picture film in 1888 by the world's first film-makers Eadweard Muybridge and Louis Le Prince, and a few years later by their followers Léon Bouly, William Dickson, Thomas Edison, the Lumière Brothers, and Georges Méliès.
He was a major philanthropist, establishing the Eastman School of Music, and schools of dentistry and medicine at the University of Rochester and in London; contributing to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and the construction of several buildings at MIT's second campus on the Charles River. In addition he made major donations to Tuskegee and Hampton universities, historically black universities in the South. With interests in improving health, he provided funds for clinics in London and other European cities to serve low-income residents.
In his final two years, Eastman was in intense pain caused by a disorder affecting his spine. On March 14, 1932, Eastman shot himself in the heart, leaving a note which read, "To my friends: my work is done. Why wait?"
The George Eastman Museum, now operated as the International Museum of Photography and Film, has been designated a National Historic Landmark. Eastman is the only person represented by two stars in the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the same category, for his invention of roll film.
George Eastman never married. He was close to his mother, and to his sister and her family. He had a long platonic relationship with Josephine Dickman, a trained singer and the wife of business associate George Dickman, becoming especially close to her after the death of his mother, Maria Eastman, in 1907. He was also an avid traveler and had a passion for playing the piano.
The loss of his mother, Maria, was particularly crushing to George. Almost pathologically concerned with decorum, he found himself unable for the first time to control his emotions in the presence of friends. "When my mother died I cried all day," he explained later. "I could not have stopped to save my life." Due to his mother's reluctance to accept his gifts, George Eastman could never do enough for his mother during her lifetime. He opened the Eastman Theater in Rochester on September 4, 1922, which included a chamber-music hall dedicated to his mother's memory: the Kilbourn Theater. At the Eastman House, he maintained a rose bush using a cutting from her childhood home

This noble beast is George, the office dog at my former job. he is a fine animal, except for the drool thing. I used "brain Photoshop" to edit the drool.

George interspersed his live performances with anecdotes and filthy jokes. Jazz "purists" scorned his act as vaudevillian. Audiences, ranging from teenage students to grandmothers, voted with their feet. His shows were sellouts. Always charming, friendly and approachable, George was delighted to chat to fans, cheerfully signing albums, books or photographs.

I did not really even know who George Ezra was, but I volunteered to accompany Flo and Audrey into DC last night for his concert at the Lincoln Theatre. I was pleasantly surprised with some good music and an entertaining evening.
