Mini-Muth’s Truths: April 17, 2010

• Karri Bragg, our First Friday Happy Hour hostess with the mostest, announced yesterday that May’s special VIP guest will be America’s Toughest Sheriff, Joe Arpaio. Yep, the law-and-order man behind tent cities for prisoners in Arizona, green baloney and pink underwear. For additional information, please visit

• Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle continues to rack up significant conservative endorsements. Earlier this week she landed the backing of Gun Owners of American and the Tea Party Express. On Friday she got the seal of approval from conservative talk show host Mark Levin. Our “consistent conservative” is definitely on a roll.

• Republican state assembly candidate Scott Chappell has sent out a fundraising event invitation headlined, “Let’s Put the RINOs Out to Pasture.” A Taxpayer Protection Pledge signer, Chappell is running against incumbent Assemblyman Lynn Stewart, who chalked up one of the worst conservative voting records in the 2009 session. Chappell’s event will be held at the offices of Terra West Property Management (11135 S. Eastern, Suite 120) on Tuesday, April 27th from 5-8 pm.

• As reported by the Nevada News Bureau yesterday, Democrat Secretary of State Ross Miller gave fellow Democrat Assemblywoman Kathy McClain, a retired government worker, what amounted to a mere slap on the wrist for using campaign funds to beef up her retirement account, saying he simply wanted to close the matter without incurring additional expense to the state.

• If only Nevada’s businesses – who are constantly, unnecessarily and needlessly being harassed, hassled, investigated and regulated by pain-in-the-ass, i-dotting, t-crossing, pencil-pushing government bureaucrats – could similarly have their cases dropped in order to save the state money. But I guess Miller just thinks some people are created more equal than others.

• “The Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents decided to not consider Regent Mark Alden’s proposal to reduce the salaries of university staff during its meeting” on Friday, reports Philip Moyer of the Nevada News Bureau. “Instead, the board focused on increasing student fees and cutting programs.”

• “The direction of the board is going to be the same as government: expand the government, don’t cut salaries, and raise taxes,” said Alden after his reasonable proposal was shot down with neither a vote nor even a discussion. “That’s the same thing we’re doing here: don’t reduce payroll, and increase student fees.”

• Remember this the next time you hear these sob stories about cutting higher education. The people in charge would rather screw the poor students than professors and administrators earning six-figure, taxpayer-funded salaries.

• Guy DeMarco of 8 News Now has come up with some pretty nifty ideas for new politically-related “apps” for your i-Phone. For example, he suggests The Brian Sandoval Position Tracker. “Now, it’s easier than ever to keep track of all of Brian Sandoval’s shifting positions. I’m working with probability scientists and the Weather Channel on this one.”

• Then there’s The Harry Reid Gaffe of the Day app. “This wonderful little application will keep track of everything the Senate Majority Leader says and provide you with his most embarrassing and controversial statement each day. I already have plans for an upgrade that includes a daily apology/correction from his press office.”

• But my favorite is The Ultimate John Ensign app: “This application has it all. It can provide different ways of saying, ‘I won’t resign.’ It will give you a list of Nevada companies where you can send your lover’s husband to go work. It can detect reporters and TV cameras within a one-mile radius and gives you escape routes. And, if you just need to kill some time, there is a game called ‘Pin the Tail on Doug Hampton.’ A must-have for any I-Phone owner.”

• Rusty McAllister, president of the firefighters union in Las Vegas, told the Las Vegas Sun that they were unwilling to budge on hiring additional firefighters to cut down on the outrageous amount of taxpayer-funded overtime being spent on these pampered princes because it’s not in their current contract.

• However, McAllister did say this was something that could be discussed in contract talks currently being negotiated for a new deal. “Anything is negotiable,” the union boss said. “If I’ve got something you want, we can barter.”

• Did he actually say “barter”? Someone needs to contact Phoebe Sweet over at the Nevada Democrat Party and see if we can get our hands on her chickens and goats! We might have a breakthrough here in the negotiations. Maybe Sue Lowden, a well-recognized and nationally known expert on bartering, could take some time from her U.S. Senate campaign and step in to mediate this.

• And finally, Republican state assembly candidate Ellie Lopez-Bowlan reports that two of her 4×8-foot signs were run over and destroyed on Thursday in Reno. Does anyone know where Ty Cobb was that day?

Josie makes a living painting watercolour pictures and selling them from her studio located in her house On Sunday 19 February, Sam visits her studio and admires a painting of sunflowers. The price tag indicates it is for sale for $900. Sam offers Josie $700 for it, but Josie says that she cannot accept less than $800.Sam indicates that would be a good price but asks Josie to hold the painting so his wife could also look at it and approve his decision. However, Sam points out that the earliest his wife could do so would be the following Tuesday, 21 February. Josie said that would be fine and gives Sam a form that reads.

The following day, Monday 20 February, Wendy, an art enthusiast, visits Josie’s studio and is very impressed by the same painting. Without haggling over the price, she buys the painting for $ 900 cash and takes it away with her The same day, Josie phones Sam and leaves a message on his answering machine saying that the painting has been sold for $900. Sam does not return the call, apparently unable to retrieve any messages due to the machine being faulty for the past few days.

On Tuesday 21 February, Sam told his wife about the painting and she is very enthusiastic about it. She tells Sam to go ahead and buy it for $800. At 10 am that day Sam telephones Josie and after only managing to greet her, he is cut off as Josie’s telephone goes dead due to a flat battery. Sam is unable to continue the conversation and Josie does not attempt to call him back. Instead, an hour later, Sam decides to post a letter to Josie formally accepting Josie’s offer. The letter arrives in the mail at Josie’s house on Thursday, 23 February.

  • Advise Josie whether there is a binding contract with Sam.
  • For the purpose of this part only, assume a contract had been formed between the parties. Explain briefly whether a breach of contract has occurred and identify the remedies that might be available.

The rule in Pinnel’s case expresses the requirement for consideration in simple contracts. Generally, the rule works sensibly and fairly, but there are some situations when it does not.

Discuss this statement, and explain the circumstances in which courts see it as unfair to apply this rule.

7 GENERATIONS: STONE, by David Alexander Robertson and Scott B. Henderson, Highwater Press

Stone introduces Edwin, a young man who must discover his family’s past if he is to have any future. Edwin learns of his ancestor Stone, a young Plains Cree man, who came of age in the early 19th century. Following a vision quest, Stone aspires to be like his older brother, Bear, a member of the Warrior Society. But when Bear is tragically killed during a Blackfoot raid, Stone, the best shot and rider in his encampment, must overcome his grief and avenge his brother’s death. Only then can he begin a new life with his bride, Nahoway. It is Stone’s story that drives Edwin to embark on his own quest.

Out March, 2010

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

First, I must give credit to the amazing artist, Scott Henderson, who added his talent to this amazing story.  The black and white graphics are stunning and help to make this graphic novel a huge success. But, let’s not forget the also amazing author who created this story.

David Alexander Robertson…

I’ve been following David’s work for a while now and have been acquiring everything of his he’s written.  The man is very talented, very unique and has a truly inspirational author’s voice that needs to be heard.

Sometimes, these smaller books go unnoticed and that’s a shame.  There’s definitely something to what he’s created that must not be missed by readers.

I would love to see him create a larger project one day, just to see what he does with it.

I can’t say enough about both talented men.

Men’sHealth | South Beach’s Most Popular Gym Is on the Sand

Language: English

The outdoor fitness park at Muscle Beach South Beach (MBSB) in Miami sprouts from the coral sand at the intersection of Ninth Street and Ocean Drive. A cadre of improbably toned bodies float off the bars, performing freestyle-calisthenics moves like the human flag, cross, and lever. MBSB has been a workout destination since the ’90s, but in the past year its popularity has soared.

Structured Wiring

Structured Wiring

Dreamedia feels it is increasingly necessary to have your home properly wired. “Structured Wiring” refers to running wires through the walls of your home to organize and integrate the various systems in your home. Cable or satellite TV, telephone, security, climate control, Ethernet and audio/video systems all rely upon and support each other in an advanced structured wiring system. It is important to note that even wireless technology can perform poorly or even fail without a well thought out structured wiring system, designed to support and extend the wireless devices and their capabilities to communicate. Many people, including builders and electricians can be unfamiliar with the newest products and technologies available for low voltage systems. At Dreamedia Audio/Video we often say that we “back into” the wiring scheme based on the proposed system requirements or capabilities. You have to understand the systems to get the wiring right!

Whether you’re re-wiring your home or simply installing a home entertainment system or computer network, it’s important to hire a low voltage contractor who will get the job done properly. It is more often a good idea to hire a dedicated low voltage contractor rather than an electrician. These low voltage contractors will be up to date on all the latest changes in whole house and related technology. In many construction trades most people, including electricians, are unfamiliar with the new products and technologies that are available for a low voltage system or technologies outside their core expertise.

The following several paragraphs will help you to understand some of the “need-to-knows” when it comes to wiring your home:
The first concern with our infrastructural wiring relates to electrical codes. The National Electrical Code (NEC) prescribes the following properties of the wire to be used in your walls:

  • Reduce the spread of fire and smoke.
  • Prevent shock
  • Comply with other requirements of the NEC

All wiring used behind walls, under floors or otherwise installed as a structural component of the building must be properly rated. Even speaker wires that go inside the walls have to be rated as either Class 2 or Class 3.

Next we need to decide on wire gauge and conductor count. How do we know what’s right for the job? Well let’s look at the speaker wire for instance. The distance from the audio amplifier to the speaker location is a major factor in deciding which wire is the right wire for the installation. Every foot of speaker wire adds more resistance, capacitance, and inudctance to the performance equation. Shorter runs of wire that are twisted and shielded a certain way yield better sound quality.
The trick in any structured wire system is to minimize the effects of the wiring, here are some tips for doing just that:

  • For runs up to 100 feet to the speakers or volume control, 16AWG (gauge) works fine
  • From 100 feet to 500 feet use 12AWG

Some additional good things to remember are:

  • For a primary sound where dynamic range is at a premium, use more copper
  • If you are wiring main speakers use heavier gauge
  • Don’t underestimate the value of shielding for reducing noise

Control Systems

Many of these systems can be extremely sophisticated and require professional installation and proprietary wiring. Our most consistent recommendation is to use at least CAT5e wiring for the control system. You should always consider 16/4 & Dual CAT-5e or CAT-6 for more sophisticated systems or in instances where you want to distribute telecommunications as well as IR (infrared) and speaker level audio.

Remember to wire bathrooms, hallways and outdoor areas. There is no reason that whole-house audio/video should not extend to these often overlooked areas. Even if you don’t plan on installing equipment at every location right away, make sure you run the cables to that location. It will save you money and time in the long run.

The Undercover Soundtrack – Rochelle Jewel Shapiro

for logo‘Everyone is haunted by something’

Once a week I host a writer who uses music as part of their creative environment – perhaps to connect with a character, populate a mysterious place, or hold  a moment still to explore its depths. This week my guest is UCLA tutor, Harold Ribelow Award nominee and professional psychic Rochelle Jewel Shapiro @RJShapiro

Soundtrack by Tanya Davis

Whether or not you believe in ghosts, everyone is haunted by something. When my Viennese mother-in-law slid into senescence, she began to hear strains of her favorite operetta, Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss. It played in her mind, non-stop, at full volume. She’d press her palms over her ears, and still she’d hear it. She would ask her neighbors in her assisted living complex if they were perhaps playing it on the radio. When they said no, she invited them in.

IMG_1187‘Do you hear it?’ she’d ask, hopefully. ‘Do you hear Die Fledermaus?

They just blinked at her.

According to Dr Victor Aziz of St Cadoc’s Hospital in Wales, musical hallucinations tend to happen to women over 73 who are living alone and have hearing impairment. In their mostly silent worlds, the brain stimulates itself to in order to hear sounds stored in the memory.

If this should ever happen to me (ptui, ptui, ptui, as my Russian grandmother would say to ward off bad fortune) the song that would probably come to me is Art by award-winning Canadian folk, pop, rock singer-songwriter, storyteller, and poet, Tanya Davis. It has become my anthem for creativity. I watch the video each morning before I begin writing. When I get stuck, I play it again. Art is a deceptively simple manifesto, a fetching love song to art, to what it means to be an artist and dedicate your life to it. In her quirky, endearing voice, Davis exposes the writer’s vulnerable heart, all the doubts, the worry if it’s worth it, if you’re worth it, whether people will appreciate your work, the whole caboodle that happens no matter how many times you’ve published.

Art, its childlike delivery, the girl painting as it’s sung, brings me back to my childhood bedroom, its floor printed with nursery rhymes, where I sat at the small desk my mother had painted red, drawing and writing stories, the tip of my tongue sticking out of the corner of my mouth in concentration. Every now and then, I’d call out to my mother, ‘How do you write flower? Princess?’ When she holler-spelled the word from the kitchen, I would write most of the letters backwards. No one required me to draw or to write. And I didn’t expect anything further to come out of it. I just had a drive to create and I worked at my illustrated stories every day without thinking of it as work or even as play. It was instinct.

The child’s voice is the truth

As Davis’s lyrics tell us, this innocence, this grace, doesn’t last long. But Art can help you pick up the child’s voice, which is where you have to dig to in order to get to the truth of any character.

KAYLEEGHOSTCOVERIn my newest novel, Kaylee’s Ghost, a domestic drama spanning five generations about life here on earth and after we’ve passed on, is written in four voices. One is the voice of five-year-old Violet, a beautiful and sensitive child who seems to be psychic like her grandmother, Miriam. Miriam wants the chance to mentor Violet to help develop the gift as her own grandmother, her Russian bubbie, had done when she was a child. But Cara, Violet’s mother, a modern businesswoman who knows all too well the pitfalls of growing up with a psychic mother, digs in her heels. As things become more fractious, Miriam’s gift backfires, bringing terrible danger to those she loves and anxiety to the reader who has to worry about whether or not Miriam can make things right in time or whether it is already too late.

A young child speaks with urgency, without guile, amped feeling in every word. The feelings are real, naked, and make absolute sense according to the child’s logic and experience. In order to know an adult character, you have to not just know the events of his childhood, you have to imagine what he was like as a child. As Wordsworth said, ‘The child is the father of the man’.

Art, Art, Art, you haunt me when I don’t write and you worry me when I do. You are the best part of my childhood. Please be with me until the end. Whether or not the world can live without my writing, I can’t live without you.

Rochelle Jewel Shapiro is a phone psychic and an award-winning writer who teaches at UCLA Extension.  Her first novel, Miriam the Medium (Simon & Schuster, 2004) was nominated for the Harold Ribelow Award. Her newest novel, Kaylee’s Ghost (Amazon and Nook, 2012) was an Indie Finalist. Articles have been written about her psychic gift in such places as Redbook, The Jerusalem Post, the Dutch Magazine, TV GID, and the Long Island section of the New York Times. She’s chronicled her own psychic experiences in Newsweek (My Turn), and The New York Times (Lives) which can be read on her website. Find her on Twitter @RJShapiro

    Wonderful insights here! There is such a connection between music and creativity – in addition to our musical associations with family, friends and memories of childhood.

    • #2 by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris on March 20, 2014 - 10:03 am

      Thanks, Nina – we do this every week. Do drop in again!

      • #3 by jewell234 on March 20, 2014 - 10:58 pm

        Hi, Nina, Thank for your comment. There’s a fabulous crossover between all the arts. Every writer, I think, benefits from taking photos, doodling, listening to music, watching a ballet, or prancing about in your own dance form.

    • #4 by jewell234 on March 20, 2014 - 10:53 pm

      Yes, music is wonderful for creativity. It helps drown out the inner editor.

  2. #5 by Bernard Natt on March 19, 2014 - 4:36 pm

    How apt “Art”.
    the power of creativity in different mediums

  3. #7 by jewell234 on March 20, 2014 - 10:56 pm

    Music helps drown out the inner editor, that carping voice that makes you doubt everything you do.

    • #8 by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris on March 20, 2014 - 11:09 pm

      Rochelle, that is a wonderful point. I hadn’t thought about this before but music gives methe confidence to experiment; a safe space to delve and find the understanding I need to do justice to an idea.

  4. #9 by jewell234 on March 21, 2014 - 5:09 pm

    Yes, the inner editor is fierce. But music also helps a writer with phrasing. (I never listen to atonal music when I wrote. It might be catching.:)

    • #10 by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris on March 21, 2014 - 8:44 pm

      I find music affects my phrasing, definitely. And the pace of a scene. I once put Fatboy Slim on the headphones to help me through a chase scene – not the easiest scenes to write. But with the help of Fatboy, the mood was just right – strutting, energetic and surprising.
      But I find phrasing to be a musical exercise anyway. I can modify it with what I listen to, but I find that even when I write in silence, a sentence swings from the mind to the page.

  5. #11 by jewell234 on March 21, 2014 - 5:09 pm

    Oops, I mean when I “write.”

  6. #12 by jewell234 on March 24, 2014 - 1:14 pm

    Yes, Roz, music is the poetry of prose. It tells you when to repeat, vary, skip, run, and rest. Best, Rochelle

NVIDIA officially abandons its plans to buy ARM

Presented for the first time months ago, and being a clear objective for both users and regulators, NVIDIA has finally just officially announced the withdrawal of its offer and plans to purchase ARM, the well-known company that licenses the chip technology used in most smartphones.

In this statement, the company explains that the agreement failed this same Monday, February 7, after a year and a half of negotiations with Softbank. On the one hand, ARM’s customers, Qualcomm and Microsoft, opposed the deal, raising concerns that NVIDIA could prevent ARM from licensing its chip designs.

ARM Chip

Although the real pressure came from the nature of this massive acquisition, a purchase that would have been the largest in the chip sector, it was also the subject of intense scrutiny by part of the regulators. Specifically, the UK Competition and Markets Authority was investigating on two occasions the possible impact that this acquisition could have on the prices and quality of the products, as well as its implications for national security, and even its monopolistic nature. . Arguments similar to those presented by the European Union and the United States, which presented different investigations and lawsuits for fear that it would suppress competition for multiple technologies.

Something that has not prevented Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, from wanting to anticipate part of what the near future will bring us: “ARM has a bright future and we will continue to support them as a licensee proud for decades to come”, assuring that “Although we will not be a single company, we will associate closely with ARM. I expect ARM to be the most important CPU architecture of the next decade«.

On the other hand, SoftBank confirmed that it would go public with ARM, although it did not provide further details beyond the statement by Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank: “ARM is becoming a center of innovation not only in the mobile phone revolution, but also cloud computing, automotive, the Internet of Things and the metaverse, and has entered its second phase of growth […] We will seize this opportunity and start preparing for make ARM public and make even more progress«.

Ahh…The Memories Of Christmas Past

     I have a soft spot for old-time Christmas songs. Those sung by Bing, Andy and Burl. When I hear them I drift right back to my childhood. A time when I marked my tomorrows between now and the next December 25th. Always so far away…took so long to reach- a whole year in fact. Where has that gone? How did the year become so short…as it seems now but a brief sigh between today and the next December 25th.

     I search my radio for a station playing this beloved music. I save it as a favorite in my car, if only for the next few weeks. And I listen as I drive… and I remember when…

     When the decoration boxes came up from the basement. I dug in as I found the garland of the years gone by, the felt elf, glitter covered reindeer, red bows and plastic ivy. I would drape, hang and tack away enveloping our indoors in red and green.

     When the Christmas tree was real. Bought locally and brought home to drag up the family room steps and into the house. Our tree sat in the same place for my whole childhood. Year after year, a welcome reminder to the steadiness of my life growing up. Yet at one point it became fashionable to buy an artificial tree and we do so…no longer pine needles dropping quietly to the floor.

     When plastic became a scent of my Christmas – so unlike spicy cinnamon sticks and fresh-cut pine..yet to me as much a Christmas smell. My new baby dolls had this smell and to this day if I come across the plastic smell of the 60’s it takes me back ad I want to hold it close. Such a simpler, innocent time for me and one I cherish.

     When family would gather at our home, filling it with laughter, jokes and light-hearted mirth. The kind that makes everything right with the world if for just a few days. Homemade cookies and candy abound in special little dishes and plates brought out of the cupboard. I loved that time. Family makes me feel rooted in the ground…a sense of continuity and steadfast in spirit. A sense of belonging and sharing.

     Soon the Christmas music will disappear from the radios…the trimmings will be boxed up for another year and my memories will be safely tucked away. Blessed memories of innocent times, family and the enchantment of Christmas. I will find myself at a bit of a loss for a week or so. I don’t do so well after all the hullabaloo is done. I have always been this way for as long as I remember. While many people sigh a relief that the holidays are over…I don’t. Instead I ponder, worry and become introspective about next year. Will someone be missing from the midst of those I love, in some way will life be so different from today. We never know the answer but for some reason I always ask the question once the quiet moments surround me. I know that life can change in a minute, I know that we should always be grateful for each moment we are here and I am. But the frailty of life is never far away…it whispers to me when the music is gone and the crowd has left for home. I tell myself that next year is just around the corner and just a sigh away…and life goes on…

May You All Have a Very Beautiful Christmas

Making new memories and  recalling many wonderful times from the past

No Clowning Around: This Halloween, That Could Lead To Serious Legal Trouble

There's been a rash of creepy clowns terrorizing children and neighborhoods throughout the U.S. for the last couple months—and nobody is exactly sure why it started. Whether it's a joke, an intentional terror-inducing prank, or something else, the police are now taking notice. If you're thinking of having a little fun by "clowning around," especially since the Halloween season is about to begin, think again. You could end up in serious trouble.

The creepy clown craze is scaring people in numerous places.

There were numerous reports out of Greenville, South Carolina, of clowns trying to lure children into the woods, sometimes with money. In Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, two different men dressed as clowns were seen yelling at children. At least 11 other states have also reported the problem, and several schools in Alabama were put on lockdown after a series of Facebook posts from people identifying themselves as some of the clowns made threats against local school children.

Police think that for whatever reason the first incident occurred, others across the country are joining in because they think it's a fun prank. News of earlier incidents was rapidly spread via social media and some people simply couldn't resist taking a bad joke a little too far, especially given the upcoming holiday season, which is known for its celebration of all things spooky.

This is one Halloween prank that can get you arrested.

The prank, if that is what it was intended to be, has attracted enough police attention that merely hinting around on social media that a clown is going to show up around a school is enough to get you into serious trouble. In the Alabama case, police arrested a 22-year-old woman for making terroristic threats, a felony charge.

Even if your intentions are more just to pull a prank than to really terrify, your sense of humor could still lead to serious charges. Georgia police recently arrested two people for making false reports about clowns trying to lure children into a van. A North Carolina man also invented a story of a creepy clown sighting and was arrested when he admitted it was false. Filing a false police report can result in either misdemeanor or felony charges, depending on the state. However, if the police decide that your intent was to induce terror, filing a false report can lead to a 7-year minimum sentence—even if you did nothing violent.

If you actually decide to dress up like a clown to scare people, you may be charged with disturbing the peace, and disorderly conduct. In the case of one man who decided to "clown around" with shoppers at a Dollar Tree, the police charged him with second-degree harassment. In some states, such actions could be elevated to stalking and menacing charges, which are generally more serious.

Whatever your motivation, clowning around right now could have serious legal repercussions, so the best thing to do is to avoid getting involved, even if you just think it would be a funny prank. Naturally, you never want to file a false police report, for any reason. If you do make a mistake, however, contact a criminal defense attorney promptly to discuss your case. Depending on the circumstances, particularly if you didn't realize the ominous tone the whole thing has taken as of late, your attorney may be able to get your charges reduced or help you avoid jail time in exchange for probation and community service.

22 young people have been found dead in a nightclub in South Africa

by Olga Sokolova

After the bodies of 22 young people at a nightclub in South Africa’s southern city of East London were found, police in the city launched an investigation. They ruled out a stampede. The deaths in this coastal town in South Africa, are being investigated by police forensic teams. It has yet to be established what caused the tragedy, which occurred during end-of-year celebrations by teenagers. Authorities said locals raised the alarm at around 4 AM.

22 young people have been found dead in a nightclub in South AfricaIn a poor neighborhood named Scenery Park, police minister Bheki Cele sought to calm an angry crowd of relatives and residents gathered at the crime scene at Enyobeni Tavern. The crowd was cordoned off following the incident. Cele said, At first, we were told that this was a stampede, but it does not seem like there was a stampede. I do not want to speculate on the cause of death; that’s why we brought the top forensic team so that if the cause of death was some poison, they will let us know. Toxicology tests will establish if the casualties were poisoned, officials said.

There is still no clear indication of the circumstances of the tragedy. A regional newspaper, DispatchLive, reported that its reporters had seen bodies laying “as if they had collapsed suddenly while dancing or in the middle of a conversation, some apparently in their social circles” as well as “bodies slumped across chairs and lying over tables.”

Several photos shared on social media showed bodies lying on the floor of a nightclub without visible signs of injury. The autopsy will provide a clearer picture of what happened in the nightclub, which was reported to be crowded. Unathi Binqose, an official with the Eastern Cape provincial community and safety department, ruled out a stampede as the cause of the deaths.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa offered condolences to families and said he was concerned about the circumstances under which young people, possibly under 18 years of age, gathered in the tavern. Ramaphosa said in a statement that the law must take its course after investigations are concluded.

How to crochet a Romanian Cord Tutorial

Jul 20, 2020 | Tutorials

Learn how to crochet a Romanian crochet cord with this complete photo & video tutorial!

How to crochet Romanian cord tutorial

Honestly, if you only learn how to crochet one cord this is definitely the one! However, if you are looking to make a more stretchy cord I have another cord tutorial to learn as well.

I recently designed a new bag pattern (free pattern coming soon!) and wanted to use crochet cords for the strap. I needed a cord that would be durable and functional yet beautiful and classy. This cord definitely hit all of those marks.

This cord uses only the single crochet stitch but the cord is created by turning and by placing the single crochet in a different place to create the cord.

This sturdy cord is flat with the same texture on both sides making the cord reversible.

I have created a video tutorial so you can see this technique in action!  See the complete video tutorial below.  Subscribe to my YouTube Channel to get notified whenever I post a new video.

Details Emerge About John King’s Recent Accident

Last night we reported that country music recording artist John King was hospitalized and, thankfully, released from medical care following a weekend car accident. However, today, some unfortunate details emerged regarding the incident involving John and his band.

The two-vehicle crash allegedly occurred early Saturday morning on the Wright Memorial Bridge in North Carolina after a T-top flew off the roof of a vehicle and landed in the road. The driver of the vehicle stopped the car and went to remove the T-top from the roadway when an SUV and trailer, driven by the “Tonight Tonight” singer hit the parked vehicle. Sadly, the passenger in the stopped car was ejected upon impact and died at the scene. The rest of the vehicles’ occupants were taken to the hospital for treatment to injuries. Neither alcohol or speeding are considered factors in the accident and no charges have been filed.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim’s friends and family, as well as John, his band, and the driver of the other vehicle during this difficult time.

A Rant on Technology

I know I’m going to sound old, here, and I’m not making any complaints that haven’t been made before.

I’m not adverse to technological advance. Hell… I love it. The only reason I held out on getting an iPod for so long is not for nostalgia or anything like that, but because I absolutely hate MP3. It’s not because I can hear the difference. I don’t have “super ears” or a ridiculously expensive sound system with unnecessarily awesome, direct, high quality, surround sound speakers (though you can bet that I wish like hell I did… with a vinyl record player, a radio [connected to regular FM/Am, Sirius, and Pandora], a disc-player that can play everything from CDs to SH-CDs to DVD-As to DVDs to Blu-Rays and so on, a connection for portable player, and a hard drive to store and play lossless files like FLAC). I’m as good at telling the difference between FLAC and MP3 as your average  person. I just hate how MP3 compresses. I think it’s wrong to cut any portion of a sound file out, regardless how little, or in what spectrum. It’s just plain wrong.

But this isn’t what I want to rant about. You see, in December of 2011, in preparation for my 10-day trip to Israel, I finally caved and bought an iPod Touch 4G. And despite my hatred for everything MP3, man was I excited. I loaded it with music (yes… in MP3), apps, games… I was set, man! Just had to make sure I had a WiFi connection.

So I get back from Israel, and 2012 rolls around. Things are good… January… then I notice something. Slowly, all the apps I have start updating… for iPhone and iPad. More and more things require an internet connection, including GPS which obviously assumes you have a 3G or 4G connection. Now, it’s June 1, and just about everything is for a device with a 3G or 4G connection.

What about me? I cannot afford to get an iPhone or an iPad, then pay a monthly subscription fee for either 3G or 4G service. I’m starting to discover a plethora of apps that I basically can’t use… at all. I’m two weeks shy of only having my iPod for 6 months, and it’s already basically obsolete. And it sucks.

(And don’t even get me started on my cell phone, the very first LG enV… yes, I am currently that poor.)

I get it… technology moves fast. And it doesn’t really bother me. In fact, for the most part, it excites me greatly. I cannot tell you how excited I am by the prospect of small, thin, light, portable music players with terabyte-sized hard drives to hold tens of thousands of songs, hundreds of movies, hundreds of thousands of pictures, and even more apps all at the same time. I’m looking forward to the next wave of the internet. What’s it gonna look like? Is plugging in going to be actually plugging in to a virtual reality world where, instead of online shopping at a webpage, you can actually walk in to a store called Amazon and browse seemingly endless rows of shelves for whatever you want, only to have it delivered to your front door in less than an hour?

And what’s in store for our future?

Will I live to see moon colonies? Will I live to see Mars colonies? Will I get to visit Mars? How about a moon of Saturn?

What will be available to me in my later years? Will they have figured out how to cure Alzheimer’s? What about Cancer? Will I have technology and medicine available to me that will let me live to, say, 150, or even 200, in both a mentally and physically healthy state? Will the technology exist for me to, after I die, have my dead body shot off into the sun (from star dust we were made, to star dust I would like to return)?

But maybe, every once in a while, those people churning out this great new technology could spare a thought for those of us who can’t afford to upgrade as fast as it comes out. Maybe the makers of these new and improved apps could remember that there are still people out there who don’t have 3G or 4G, and who still depend on WiFi to get online with their iPods.

Is that too much to ask?

Masonic folk art

Mysteries in Clay: Pisgah Forest Masonic Pottery

New to the museum’s collection this spring are three pieces of North Carolina pottery bearing Masonic decoration. These items – a small bowl, a vase, and a cup or pencil holder – were created by Pisgah Forest Pottery in western North Carolina in the 1940s and 1950s. They join two previously-purchased bowls in the collection that match the new bowl nearly exactly. Our now-five-piece collection of Pisgah Forest Pottery inspires some interesting questions about their purpose, use, and Masonic connection.

Pisgah pottery - 2022.023.1-3 - small
Pisgah Forest Masonic vase (1959), cup (circa 1948), bowl (1942). Pisgah Forest Pottery, Arden, North Carolina. Museum purchase, 2022.023.1-3.

Pisgah Forest Pottery was founded in 1926 by Walter Benjamin Stephen (1876-1961) in rural western North Carolina, near the Blue Ridge Parkway. He was a member, trustee, and Past Master (1945) of West Asheville Lodge No. 665, which merged with another Asheville Lodge in 2002. After Stephen’s death at the age of 85 in 1961, his step-grandson Thomas Case kept Pisgah Forest Pottery going with the help of another employee, Grady Ledbetter. Case died in 2014, and is buried in the same location as his grandfather, New Salem Baptist Church Cemetery. Nichols-West Asheville Lodge No. 650 performed the funeral ritual for Case.

Pisgah Forest Pottery officially closed in 2014, following Case’s death. Its historic pottery-making tools and equipment were donated to the North Carolina Museum of History. Examples of work from this important pottery are held and exhibited at other museums, such as the Smithsonian, the Asheville Art Museum, and the University of South Carolina’s McKissick Museum. Popular with collectors, pieces of Pisgah Forest Pottery frequently come up for auction.

All three of the Scottish Rite Museum’s bowls are cobalt blue with a pink glaze inside. The bottom of each bowl bears the company’s mark (a potter sitting at a wheel) and the words "Pisgah Forest / 1942”. They have a raised, unglazed emblem on the exterior which bears a double-headed eagle gripping a sword in its talons with a square and compass on its breast and a "32" glazed in blue above. On the two pieces purchased in 2019, the raised text "Asheville" appears below the emblem. However, on the piece purchased in 2022, the text reads: “Asheville Scottish Rite”. Given that all three bowls bear the same year and were clearly following a set design, it is interesting that our newest acquisition also has the words “Scottish Rite” added to it. For whom were these Scottish Rite Masonic bowls made? Much of Stephen’s usual work was sold to tourists in the region. Were these items produced as custom orders for the local Scottish Rite Valley? Were they given as gifts to Masons? More research is needed in order to determine the context and purpose of these bowls.

The inscriptions on the newly-acquired vase and cup give us a little more information about who likely owned and use them. The light blue vase has the words “To my Good Friend and Brother Dr. S. S. Fay 33° / Stephen - 1959" painted neatly in white glaze, along with a white cross with two bars and a double-headed eagle bearing a “33” on the neck of the vase. Walter Stephen was semi-retired from the pottery by about 1949, but he still created new pieces on his own in a small studio he built on his property that he called “Lone Pine Studio”. The vase inscription and date seem to indicate that he made this vase as a gift for a friend who was a 33° Mason. With help from the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, we’ve identified “S. S. Fay” as Scott Stuart Fay, who was a member and Past Master of John A. Nichols Lodge No. 650, the lodge that later merged with Stephen’s West Asheville No. 665 in 2002. Fay was a West Asheville doctor who was born in 1882 and died in 1980.

The cup has a light blue glaze that matches the vase and is personalized with a white clay emblem on the exterior which bears a keystone and the words "C. C. Ricker / G. H. P. / 1947-48". The “G. H .P.” here helped identify the owner. These letters stand for “Grand High Priest” and paired with the keystone on the cup, suggests that “C. C. Ricker” was elected a Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of North Carolina in 1947. With this information, the Grand Lodge of North Carolina helped us confirm the likely recipient of the cup as Charles Carpenter Ricker. Ricker, an active Mason, served as Grand High Priest, Grand Master (1962), and Grand Commander of North Carolina.

As many members know, one of the benefits of Freemasonry is the chance to convene and form friendships with fellow Masons. We don’t know if Walter Stephen met Scott Fay and Charles Ricker through business dealings in Asheville or if they met as brethren, but these personalized pots underscore their Masonic connection.

New to the Collection: George M. Silsbee’s Masonic Model

Model, George M. Silsbee (1840-1900), 1887. Leadville, Colorado. Museum Purchase, 2020.010. Image courtesy of Freeman’s.

In the early 1870s, a Civil War veteran named George M. Silsbee (1840-1900) moved to Denver, Colorado. City directories from 1871, 1873, and 1876, listed his occupation as “artist,” though what kind of art he practiced is not known. When he was drafted to serve in the Union Army in 1863, a clerk noted that he was a daguerreian—an artist or photographer specializing in daguerreotypes. In 1875 he worked in partnership with Charles Anderson (1831-1922) as an organ builder.  Together they constructed a church organ with over 500 pipes—one of the first large organs built in Colorado. By 1880, Silsbee had moved to the boom town of Leadville, Colorado, likely prompted by the discovery of silver in the area. He lived there for the next twenty years, earning his living as a miner and as an engineer.

While in Leadville he embarked on a project later described by his family as “his life’s work.” The project included at least 14 large ink and watercolor paper charts backed with fabric and mounted on wood dowels. Densely packed with writing, calligraphy, and illustrations, these mystical charts explore ideas and symbols related to the Bible, Christianity, and Freemasonry. Along with these charts, Silsbee created this model (at left), newly added to the collection of the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library.

About two feet tall, Silsbee’s three-dimensional model takes the form of a three level structure set onto a floor or counter, with an arch and columns spanning the whole.  Each level of the structure is rich with Masonic symbols portrayed as three dimensional objects shaped from different kinds of stone, metal, wood, plaster, and other materials. The first two levels feature symbols taken from the first three degrees of Freemasonry.  The upper level highlights symbols from the Royal Arch degree. Crowning the levels, Silsbee created a dark blue sky, glittering with sparkling grains (possibly pyrite) with an all-seeing eye at the center. Silsbee placed a keystone at the middle of the arch.  On it is the mnemonic associated with the Mark Master degree incised onto a circle.  What is likely Silsbee’s own mark—a square and compasses over a shield decorated with blue dots and red strips, representing the colors and symbols of the American flag—is at the center of the circle. At the very bottom of the model, on a blue shield, Silsbee cut his own initials in script, along with the year 1887, the date he likely completed this arresting work.

In crafting this model, Silsbee showed his skill at working with a wonderful variety of materials, and also demonstrated his knowledge of Freemasonry and its symbols.  The 1875 proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin list Silsbee as a member of Kenosha Lodge, No. 47 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He became a Mason at the lodge in 1863. When and where he became familiar with Royal Arch Masonry and where he took the Mark degree is not known.

A few months ago, the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library added this striking example of Masonic folk art, which had been preserved in Silsbee’s family for several decades, to its collection. In the coming years, with additional research, we hope to learn more about George M. Silsbee--remembered by his family in an obituary as "an artist of ability"--and his remarkable creation.

Well Matched: Masonic Portraits of Couples

Among the many portraits in the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library’s online exhibition “What’s in a Portrait?” are a number of portraits of couples. Similar to other types of portraiture, these works convey meaning about what the sitters valued. Couple portraits were commissioned by married or betrothed couples to honor their union, or document other family events. Pictured here are two beguiling examples.

Mr. J. and Mrs. M. Hull, ca. 1800.
Mr. J. and Mrs. M. Hull, ca. 1800. United States. Special Acquisitions Fund, 78.47a.

The first example is the charming watercolor above, which at 5 by 8 inches qualifies (somewhat paradoxically) as a large miniature portrait. Depicting subjects identified as Mr. J. and Mrs. M. Hull, the work likely dates to 1800. Although its maker and place of creation are not known, the portrait still conveys information about the sitters: for example, the pair’s union is emphasized—even romanticized—through decorative flourishes such as the entwined lovebirds at the top center of the painting and the identical beribboned wreaths encircling the two images. The importance of Mr. Hull’s identification as a Freemason is also conveyed in the carefully detailed representation of his jewel, sash, and apron.

A second example, from 1804, appears below: two matching paintings by artist Benjamin Greenleaf (1769-1821), who worked in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. Depicting Captain Aaron Bird (1756-1822) and his wife, Johanna Glover Bird (1757-1815), these 12-by-16-inch portraits are unified stylistically by their dark backgrounds and the similar clothing of their subjects—dark outerwear with white at the neck anchored by small gold pins. The pin that Captain Bird is wearing, which bears a square and compasses, shows that he was a Freemason. Bird hailed from Dorchester, Massachusetts, and was not only a Revolutionary War lieutenant but also a founding member of two Maine lodges—Cumberland Lodge No. 12 in New Gloucester, and later, Tranquil Lodge No. 29 in Minot.

Johanna Glover Bird and Captain Aaron Bird, 1804. Benjamin Greenleaf (1769-1821). Massachusetts or Maine. Museum Purchase, 98.064.1-2.

Both of these works also exemplify the American folk art aesthetic in their sharply delineated forms, tidily organized compositions, and overall one-dimensionality of style. For all these similarities, they present contrasting atmospheres. This may be partly due to the artistic media the painters who made them employed. Greenleaf painted the Bird portraits in oil paint on pine board, creating a shiny, nonporous surface. He also selected black and white tones with a stark contrast. His treatment differs from that of the artist who painted the Hulls. This painter employed soft watercolors on light-absorbing matte paper, accompanied by airy imagery of birds and leaves.

You can explore more portraits from the collection on our website while the Museum & Library is closed due to the safer-at-home advisory in Massachusetts. We also invite you to join us on Facebook and check out our other online exhibitions and online collections. As always, we welcome your comments below.

New to the Collection: Watercolor Mark Degree Record Made for Joseph Fish

Watercolor Mark Degree Record Made for Joseph Fish, 1818. William Murray (1756-1828), probably Montgomery County, New York. Museum Purchase, 2018.019.  Photograph by David Bohl.

In 1818 painter William Murray (1756-1828) created this watercolor for Joseph Fish, Sr., likely as a commemoration of Fish receiving the Mark Degree. A veteran of the Revolutionary War and a schoolteacher, Murray also painted colorful and charming family records and other works for friends and family in New York State. When he painted this work, Murray lived in Montgomery County, New York.  In the 1980s, collectors and researchers Arthur and Sybil Kern identified fourteen paintings signed by Murray over the course of his career. The Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library recently purchased this one, formerly part of the Kern collection. It joins a family record signed by Murray that has been in the Museum’s collection for many years.

The Mark Degree commemoration that Murray painted for Joseph Fish shares decorative and stylistic elements with other works done by the artist.  Among these elements are borders of simple round flowers and of heart-shaped tulip-like flowers, different colored wavy lines, a field divided by lines and circular elements. In creating this work for Joseph Fish, Murray employed a palette of light brown, blue, red and yellow. He also, as befit the purpose of the work, included many Masonic symbols. At the top center of the drawing, Murray added an all-seeing eye. In the upper portion of the composition, at each corner, he drew a ladder, an ark, an urn and an anchor—all symbols used in Freemasonry.  Within the circle at the center, Murray included several Masonic symbols, such as an arch with a keystone, a letter G, stars, a plumb, a mallet, the moon and a coffin with a scythe on top of it. Beneath the large circle at the center, between “Joseph” and “Fish,” Murray drew a circle that surrouned Fish’s own mark—a symbol that Fish selected to represent himself—within a border of the letters HTWSSTKS. This group of letters are a mnemonic associated with the Mark Degree.  As his emblem, Fish chose a level. In Freemasonry this symbol represents equality and the lodge office of Senior Warden. Two other symbols in the watercolor related to lodge offices.  Crossed keys indicate the lodge treasurer.  A square and compasses with the sun at the center is an emblem found on many jewels given to lodge members who have served the lodge as Master.

In spite of these clues, little is known of Joseph Fish. The Kerns identified him as “a member of a Masonic lodge in Hoosick, NY.”  The owner of this painting may have been the Joseph Fish noted, in 1795, as the Junior Deacon of Patriot Lodge No. 39 of Pittstown, New York, a town neighboring Hoosick.  Masons established this lodge in 1794.  Short-lived, the lodge closed by 1818. Though its establishment is not noted in the Proceedings of the Grand Chapter of New York, a mark lodge associated with Patriot Lodge No. 39--Patriot Mark Lodge--had two members representing it at a meeting of the Grand Chapter in 1806. Both Federal Mark Lodge No. 37 in Hoosick and Patriot Mark Lodge in Pittstown were recorded as delinquent for at least two years’ worth of dues in 1815, suggesting that neither lodge thrived.  However, they may have been working long enough for Joseph Fish to have received the Mark Degree at one of them before 1818. Hopefully, further research will uncover more about Joseph Fish and about his connection to the artist William Murray. In the meantime, Murray's painting offers colorful evidence of Fish's participation in Freemasonry.

The Mysterious Ladder

94_029DP1DBDo you recognize this ladder? It’s a prop that Scottish Rite Freemasons used during the early 1900s when conferring the 30th degree. Known as the “mysterious ladder,” the words on one side’s rungs call out the seven liberal arts and sciences: grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. The rungs on the other side, marked with transliterations of Hebrew, reminded initiates of virtues such as understanding, faith, purity and charity. Writing on the sides of the ladder represents love of God and love of your neighbor. These messages, along with the upward-pointing shape of the ladder reminded the candidate of how he could learn and grow as a Mason.

While this particular ladder dates to the early 1900s, the history of its use in the Scottish Rite degrees goes back to the mid-1700s, when it appeared in the 24th degree. Scholar Alain Bernheim has found evidence that this degree, complete with an illustration of the ladder, originated in France in 1750. The Francken Manuscript in the collection of the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library, which dates to 1783, also includes an illustration of the ladder with the text of the 24th degree, then titled “Grand Elected Knight of Kadosh or Knight of the White and Black Eagle” (you can read more about Henry Andrew Francken, the compiler of the manuscript, here). As the degrees were rewritten and reorganized into the present-day system, the ladder remained in what became the 30th degree. Regalia Catalog Ladder 1

Ritual books from 1875, 1904 and 1939 include an explanation of the ladder and required the candidates to mount the steps and climb over it before receiving the degree. The 1904 and 1939 books show a scale drawing of the ladder and indicate its placement in a plan of the room or stage. The ritual explained that “it is the only way of entrance to the Order, and we sincerely trust that the lessons taught on its several steps will make a deep and lasting impression on your mind.” Regalia catalogs in the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library collection from the early 1900s (see illustration on right) offer the ladder “of wood, well made and finished, the proper lettering in both English and Hebrew.” Today, the ladder is no longer used in the 30th degree, but it helps to demonstrate the change from intimate degree ceremonies conferred in the lodge room to elaborate staged degrees during the early 1900s.

A Masonic Fire Bucket

81_48S1At the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library in Lexington, Massachusetts, we actively collect objects to strengthen and improve our existing holdings.  Our primary strength is American Masonic and fraternal items and we look for things that tell an engaging story, are in good condition and do not duplicate our existing holdings.  In 2014, I was contacted by an antiques dealer who had a fascinating painted leather fire bucket for sale.  The bucket was in nice condition and had a Masonic square and compasses symbol on the front above a pair of clasped hands and the name “J. Beach.”  At the top of the bucket, a painted banner read “Friendship in Adversity.”  On first glance it looked like a terrific addition to our collection. [It was recently (in 1/2016) up for sale again, this time at Sotheby's Americana Week sales in New York City - see it here.]

My first step was to analyze it according to our collecting criteria as described above.  So I searched our collections database to see just how many fire buckets we already have.  Imagine my surprise to find the one pictured here, which the Museum purchased in 1981 – it was almost identical to the photo that the dealer had sent me!  While we are fortunate to have a large storage area at the Museum, space is always finite, so I passed on buying the second one and promptly did some research on the one we already owned.

Antiques are rare and valued for a reason – as time passes objects break, get lost, thrown away and disintegrate.  Yet, before they became antiques, they were often common household items.  While it was surprising to turn up two fire buckets with almost identical decoration, it shouldn’t be unexpected.  During the 1700s and early 1800s, most households had at least a couple of buckets like these ones.  They were often the most effective way to combat a fire.  Local residents could line up and form a bucket brigade passing buckets from hand to hand to try and quench the blaze.  Decorating them with symbols and the owner’s name meant that they would be easy to return when the fire was over.

Groups of local residents also formed fire companies or societies to assist with fighting fires in their neighborhoods.  It makes sense that these local groups would procure fire buckets with similar decoration – as is the case with these two buckets.  The Museum’s bucket is almost identical to the one that was owned by J. Beach – virtually the only difference is the owner’s name – Z. Stevens – and the date it was presumably made – 1799.  Thanks to an email with a colleague at the National Museum of American History, I was able to determine that John Beach and Zachariah Stevens were members of the Masonick Fire Society in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

Formed in 1789, the Masonick Fire Society aimed to “be helpful to each other in extinguishing [fires in Gloucester], and in saving and taking the utmost care of each other’s goods.”  The printed “Rules and Orders” go on to require that each member “always keep ready, two good Leather Buckets, and two strong bags.”  Members of the Society were also required to be “an approved Mason.”  Indeed, both John Beach and Zachariah Stevens, who owned the fire buckets, were members of Gloucester’s Tyrian Lodge.  Beach was raised in 1779 and served the lodge as Master in 1802.  Stevens was raised in 1804.

Thanks again to my colleague at the National Museum of American History, I discovered that Stevens was a witness to the “sea serpent” sighted in Gloucester in 1817.  Starting in August 1817 and continuing for the next few years, reports of a strange sea creature off the coast of Gloucester began to circulate.  The accuracy of these accounts was debated throughout the country and never conclusively resolved.  But this rather outlandish tale adds another layer of interesting history to Stevens’ Masonic fire bucket.  And keep your eyes peeled – there may be more fire buckets just like this one waiting to be discovered!

"The Badge of a Freemason: Masonic Aprons from the Collection" opens March 19, 2016

Our next exhibition will explore an aspect of material culture that is wonderfully represented in the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library’s collection—Masonic aprons. A Mason’s apron is one of the most recognizable symbols of Freemasonry. Aprons are personal—Freemasons often own and wear them for their entire Masonic career. Aprons also provide a tangible connection between a member and his experience as a Mason. Many Masonic aprons were  bespoke works of art, constructed and ornamented by expert craftsmen and women at the specific request of a client. “The Badge of a Freemason: Masonic Aprons from the Collection,” based on research from the Museum’s recent publication, The Badge of a Freemason: Masonic Aprons from the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library, opens on March 19, 2016.

Drawing on a variety of sources—other aprons, book illustrations, engraved certificates and their own imaginations—for inspiration, over the years apron makers have created a wonderful diversity of Masonic aprons. They crafted these aprons from myriad materials including leather, linen, silk and cotton and decorated them with paint, ink, embroidery, bullion, beads and sequins. The Museum is well-suited to undertake an exhibition exploring Masonic aprons; we collect actively in this area and hold over 400 examples.The apron pictured to the left is an unusual example. The Masonic symbols on its surface were cut out of sheet metal, such as silver and brass, and then attached to the leather.  Made in 1896, it belonged to Erwin J. Roberts (b. 1869) of North Adams, Massachusetts, and will be one of the aprons on view in the exhibition.

“The Badge of a Freemason: Masonic Aprons from the Collection” will feature more than 50 Masonic aprons dating from the 1700s through the 1900s as well as related artifacts from the Museum’s rich collection, such as tracing boards, books, regalia catalogs, prints and photographs. Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to learn more about the history, symbolism and workmanship behind Masonic aprons as well as the intriguing stories of the people who made and wore them. We hope you will enjoy the show!

If you would like a preview of some of the aprons featured in the exhibition, you can order your own copy of The Badge of a Freemason: Masonic Aprons from the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library, by Aimee E. Newell, published by the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library.  It is available now for $39.95 plus shipping and tax (if applicable) at

New to the Collection: A Masonic Stamp Collage

2013_051DS1The Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library recently received this charming stamp collage as an addition to its collection.  The Masonic square and compasses symbol, representing reason and faith, along with the G in the middle, symbolizing God, geometry or both, is made out of postage stamps cut to fit the shape.  Above the symbol, the maker trimmed the portraits of George Washington (1732-1799) and six other presidents who were Freemasons out of stamps and applied them to the page.  More presidential portraits appear below the square and compasses emblem.

The collage is signed at the lower right corner: "John J. Buechler / 1929."  Unfortunately, although Buechler would seem to be a less common last name, a search of the 1930 U.S. Census records turned up several possibilities and we are currently unable to precisely identify which Buechler made this collage.

We are very pleased to add this piece of intriguing folk art to our collection.  Donor Albert K. Resnick, who purchased it at a stamp show, generously gave it to the Museum & Library after enjoying it for forty years.  As he explained, "It represented my two main interests - Freemasonry and stamp collecting."  We look forward to preserving it for and exhibiting it in the future.

A Folk Art Portrait of John Coustos, Masonic Hero

80.40.1 John CoutosTo help pass unoccupied time on long sea voyages, whalers and sailors crafted both fanciful and useful objects out of materials they had to hand aboard ship. Sailors and others called whale bone and teeth decorated by mariners scrimshaw, and the men who practiced the pastime, scrimshanders, as early as the 1820s. This decorated tooth—thought to have come from a bull sperm whale—is an example of this maritime folk art. With his depiction of Masonic symbols, the seafarer who incised images on this tooth sought to celebrate Freemasonry. He also may have wished to call attention to a Masonic folk hero, John Coustos (1703-1746).

Surrounded by halo-like rays of light, the man engraved on this tooth is thought to be Coustos, in part due to a note that accompanied the tooth when it entered the collection of the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum and Library. You can examine the accompanying engraved images of Coustos and judge if you think the image on this tooth is his portrait. A Swiss-born British citizen, Coustos worked in Lisbon, Portugal, as a lapidary, or gem cutter. He had been a member of lodges in both London and Paris. In 1741 Coustos formed a lodge for foreign Masons who lived in Lisbon and served as its master. Freemasonry had been banned in Portugal a few years previously. When authorities learned about Coustos’ lodge, the Inquisition arrested Coustos for participation in MasonicJohn Coustos frontispiece from 1746 edition activities. News of his arrest and the charges against him traveled as far as Boston. For over fifteen months he was imprisoned and questioned under torture. The inquisitors finally sentenced Coustos to four years in a workhouse as punishment for organizing a Masonic lodge in Portugal. Not long after, the British ambassador to Lisbon arranged for Coustos’ release.

Upon his return to England, Coustos wrote a sensational book about his experiences, The Sufferings of John Coustos for Freemasonry…. It first went on sale in 1746. Soon after, Coustos died. His account, which featured lurid details of his imprisonment and engravings depicting his torture, proved irresistible to readers. Coustos’ work also capitalized on the wide-spread anti-Catholic sentiment of the time. Although some modern scholars have questioned aspects of Coustos’ description of his torture and his assessment of how much Masonic information he did or did not reveal to his interrogators, many readers admired Coustos for keeping his Masonic oath under the strain of torture.

John Coustos frontispiece from the 1790 editionThe Sufferings of John Coustos for Free-Masonry… remained in print for decades. Some editions featured a portrait of Coustos as a frontispiece, like the British examples seen here. American publishers made versions of the work available to readers from the 1790s through the 1850s. An engraving of Coustos may have served as a model for the scrimshander who decorated this tooth. You can see this tooth on view at the museum, outside the entrance to the Farr Conference Center, the next time you visit.

If you are searching for the absolute best CBD Hemp oil for pain and anxiety, then look no more, because here’s what to look for when shopping for CBD oils. First and foremost is the selection of products that you will have at your disposal. Not all hemp oil brands provide their customers with a full range of products that gives them plenty of options when consuming hemp oils. Whether you are interested in using a tincture or CBD gummies, you should have a variety of options to choose from when it comes time to make a purchase.

Furthermore, the best CBD oil for pain and anxiety is grown in the United States. That’s because the United States has become well-known for producing some of the finest hemp in the world due to their strict quality standards. To further enhance the experience you have when consuming hemp oils, you should also make sure the oils you consume are full-spectrum oils. That way, you will be benefiting from all of the properties of the plant rather than just a few of them. When you consume a full-spectrum oil, you unlock the benefits of the entire plant and this should provide a deeper and more relaxing experience that makes CBD oil perfect for pain and anxiety.

Don’t forget that pets may also suffer from pain and anxiety. CBD oils that are specifically designed for pets can provide them with the mental relief they need to fully enjoy each day. They can also provide for a delightful treat on their own despite the underlying benefits of consuming a full-spectrum CBD oil grown right here in the United States. Whether you are just looking for a nice little vaping habit to take the edge off, or you are looking for some delicious and nutritious treats, you’ll likely find what you are looking for at Total Body Online
