Just a portrait this time.
And a cool song;
"You think the birds are pretty
and you sleep eight hours a night.
And I'm fog, out of the city,
and still you stake it all.
And trains stop for you and so do the boys,
when you run your fingers through your hair.
But resistance is futile.
And I am gonna drink your blood.
And I am gonna drink your blood.
And I am gonna drink your blood.
And I am gonna drink your blood.
..."
Beautiful effigy of Gerhard I of Jülich, count of Berg and Ravensberg (+1360) and his wife Margaret of Berg-Ravensberg (+1389).
The effigy was most likely made around the time Margaret died.
Note Gerhard's short-sleeved jupon, laced in front, depicting his coat-of-arms;
a mail standard (collar) with scalloped edges;
two retention chains for a missing sword and dagger attached to his breastplate under his jupon;
a pourpoint with funnel cuffs protruding from under the vambraces;
a typical late 14th century low-worn plaque belt;
full plate armour for the limbs;
mail cuisses (typical for the region and date, i.e. the effigy of Adolf of Cleves (+1394) www.flickr.com/photos/roelipilami/1578111000/in/album-721... );
and rowel spurs on the feet.
Also note an angel carrying his crested great helm.

Havana is full of "Castro" impersonators like this guy. Complete with bushy beard and beret, they walk the streets smoking cigars and pose for photos, demanding a dollar per photo. This guy is relaxing and counting his spoils.
Yesterday I attended the funeral for the Mother of a very old friend. We have grown apart, but I care about her. When I learned her Mother had passed I knew I had to go. I was a little nervous about who I might see. In particular the boy above, my first lover. I was thrown out of the house over him. Estranged from my own Mother for 3 years while I lived with him. Turned out she was right about him, but I had to find out for myself. He was possessive, jealous, and had an explosive temper. He didn't like to work, and he loved to smoke dope, but he had some good qualities too, like most people. He loved nature and hiking, and appreciated my creative nature. we had some great adventures together. After 30 years I certainly hold him no ill will. Anyhow I'd heard he got married, had 2 daughters, and it seemed had got his shit together. I guess he did for awhile, but apparently it didn't hold. I was surprised not to see him at the funeral, and found out indirectly that his wife divorced him about 3 years ago, and he is now living on the streets of Baltimore. That blindsided me. It also made me take stock of my good fortune. I too am a self destructive person with addictive tendencies. I could easily have fallen through the cracks but...
I have an amazing man that taught me unconditional love is possible.
I have an amazing Mother in Law and deceased Father in Law that that also taught me this.
I have a beautiful safe home, even if we don't own much of it.
I have kick ass friends that prop me up when I need it, and are always there for me.
I have the possibility of an art career which is my dream.
I have good health.
The list goes on, but for now these are the main things.
I cannot express how grateful I am, it is beyond words.
Lastly, Thank You to those of you here that have supported and encouraged me. It is so appreciated.
May you find your way Buzz. This is for you.
This is also for you Steve. Thank you for my life!
It's a hard life being a Ba-game player. This bloke came limping out from inside the scrum at one point quite early in the game. He was soon on his feet and back in again. Probably only a few broken ribs or something... It seems they get used to it.

There is a real life vampire named Count Quint Baker. He contacted me a couple months back about my art and he lives in New Zealand. I talked to this vampire and he told me that the raise of the vampires is at hand within the next couple years. He told me that I should not be worried and that I should be happy because I was on the list to be turned and not just dinner. In a way I was happy but what about my friends , my fans , my family ? Are they on the " good" list ? I hope so...

Disabled activists hold '10,000 Cuts and Counting' memorial outside Parliament - London 27.09.2013
Disability rights activists from DPAC and WOW Petition held a memorial for the more than 10,000 disabled and sick people who died shortly after or during their Work Capability Assessments at the hands of controversial French IT company ATOS, at the behest of the Department for Work and Pensions. The event was led by the Dean of St Pauls Cathedral, Dr David Ison, and human rights campaigner Mohammed Ansar, and took place in front of a carpet of white flowers laid on Parliament Square to represent the tragic victims of the Coalition government's ideological brutality and unutterable cruelty towards the sick, the disabled and the dying.
The various speakers included Michael Meacher MP, John McDonnell MP, Jeremy Corbyn MP, Ellen Clifford (Inclusion London), Paula Peters (DPAC), Clare Glasman (WinVisible), Ian Jones (WOW Petition), Wayne Beckman (WOW Petition), Ian Chamberlain (WOW Petition), Dr Louise Irvine, Michael Horne and Dickie Upton.

Photo paper as film test that my wife and I did. We have some Arista-EDU FB VC Semi-Matte paper a friend gave us. Using a Canon SLR to determine exposures we found that ISO 6 with an exposure time of 24 seconds at F5.6 was about right. This was taken using our Crown Graphic with 135mm F4.7 Schneider Kreuznach Xenar lens and developed in Caffenol-C for 2 minutes. The only downside is that it's difficult to see the image coming up because the Caffenol is dark whereas normal paper developer is clear.

Even after the disastrous squirrel encounter, Verdie agreed to go for another walk with me. Today's mission was a number hunt.
I'm not doing a 365 project this year, and I suppose I could have used my current 100 Possibilities number, but this seemed like more fun.
WH - What's your number?
100 Possibilities #10-18 (Which amuses me because the picture itself counts up to nine. hehehe)
Wirich Philipp of and to Daun
Wirich Count Daun, contemp. Portrait Museum of Military History.
(pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
Wirich Philipp Lorenz Graf von Daun and, since 1710 Prince of Teano (* October 19, 1669 in Vienna, †30 July 1741 in Vienna) was an imperial field marshal, knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, imperial privy councilor and chamberlain. He is the father of the more famous Field Marshal Leopold Daun, the commander of Maria Theresa.
Life
Wirich Daun came from the noble family of the Daun, which since long time possessed the castle and the small town of Daun in the Eifel region near Koblenz and was accepted into the Imperial Count 1643. He began his military career in the regiment of his father, Johann Wilhelm Anton Graf Daun (1621-1706), who had entered into Austrian service in 1657 and 1694 also became field marshal. His mother was Anna Maria Magdalene Countess of Althann (1635-1712), his siblings were Joseph Martin Heinrich Dietrich Graf Daun, imperial field marshal and Hofkriegsrat (court war council) (1678-1761) and Lieutenant-General Henry Richard Lorenz Graf Daun ( 1673-1729 ).
Wirich Daun 1696/97 took part in the campaign in Hungary and fought there also at Zenta. From 1701 he served in the War of Spanish Succession under Prince Eugene in Italy. He became famous in 1706 with a tough, three and a half months defense of Turin against the siege of the troops of the Duke de la Feuillade. This allowed Eugen gain time so that he could beat the superior French army of Philip of Orleans and Marshal Marsin in the Battle of Turin.
Meanwhile, in 1707 moved to the Feldzeugmeister (general quartermaster) promoted Daun south to conquer the Kingdom of Naples. The resistance of the Neapolitans was broken by the storming of the fortress of Gaeta. Thereby he employed a in Genoa purchased ship, which henceforth formed the basis of the Austrian Navy.
Archduke Charles, then titular King of Spain and King of Naples, Daun then appointed arbitrarily, ie without the consent of Emperor Joseph I, to Field Marshal of the Spanish-Italian troops in Naples.
As the successor of Georg Adam Graf of Martinitz Viceroy of Naples 1707-1708, Daun initiated the successful conquest of Sardinia. Charles gave him the Principality Teano (now the province of Caserta), which had previously been confiscated by the Duchess of Medina-Sidonia. He turned down this feud, however, contra a top-up-fee, but the at the same time conferred title of Prince of Teano remained in the family Daun and passed in the 19th Century to the Palffy of Erdod as their heirs.
Finally appointed as successor as Eugene to field marshal and commander in chief in Italy, based in Milan, Daun penetrated in 1708 in the Comacchiokrieg against Rome before, expulsed Marshal Claude-Louis-Hector de Villars, occupied the papal legations in central Italy and forced Pope Clement XI. to peace with Joseph.
For this he was appointed to the Spanish grandee, winner of the Golden Fleece in 1713 and again Viceroy of Naples, where he knew how to make himself popular with the people. His term ended in 1719.
1719 to 1725 he was Director of Artillery (Supreme agriculture and domestic Ordnance) and commandant of the city of Vienna. During this time he had built the current Palace Kinsky according to the plans of Lucas von Hildebrand.
Then Daun temporarily served as governor of the Netherlands (1724/25), after Prince Eugene of Savoy who resigned his governorship. 1728 Down was Governor of the Duchy of Milan. As such, he had the city in 1733 to yield a French superiority under King Charles Emmanuel III. of Sardinia, which is why he was replaced by Field Marshal Mercy and fell from grace. However, he was able to justify against all allegations and was rehabilitated.
His wall grave is located in the chapel of St. George in the Vienna Augustinian church where his son is buried, too.
His wife was Maria Barbara Countess Herberstein.
