Notes: from the a series of photographs made by Henry Dixon and A. and J. Bool between 1875 and 1886 for the Society for Photographing the Relics of Old London. This Picturesque old house, opposite to the Palace [Lambeth], is probably part of an old Inn. The above description, by Alfred Marks, has been taken from the letterpress which accompanies the photographs.
Henry Dixon was a British photographer working in London during the 1870s and 1880s. As with many other photographers from the period,Dixon (1820-1893) originally trained as a printer. Dixon is best known for his series of photographs commissioned by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London, of buildings that were threatened with demolition. He is also known for his animal photographs taken at London Zoo, which was close to his home. His son Thomas J. Dixon (1857-1943) worked with him. Although Henry Dixon died in 1893, the company was probably active until the beginning of the 1940s

Roll of Honor clasps from RAOB breast-jewels (medal) to which the ribbons would have been stitched. The link below shows a 4th Degree jewel and the position of this type of ribbon clasp.
There are four ranks (degrees) of Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB) membership of which the ‘Roll of Honor’ is the highest. Promotion to higher degrees is by virtue of service, commitment and attendance.
1st Degree - Brother, symbolised by the kangaroo emblem (green ribbon).
2nd Degree – Primo (Dark blue ribbon).
3rd Degree – (KoM) Knight Order of Merit (Red ribbon).
4th Degree – (RoH) Roll of Honor (Light blue ribbon).
The RAOB were founded in 1822 and are still active as a fraternal society devoted to charitable work within their local communities and assisting other members in times of need. Their motto is ‘Justice, Truth & Philanthropy’ which is often seen on their medals and badges. The RAOB traditions and regalia are based on the Masonic model, but are not a Masonic society.

Maker Faire 2017 was bigger, louder and hotter than previous years. Many of the attractions were still the same, but they felt more grown up. I particularly enjoyed the illuminated art in the Dark Room, such as Peter Hudson’s 3D Stroboscopic Zoetrope. I also enjoyed all the ingenious robot exhbits and the Traveling Spectacular’s vaudeville performance
I gave a talk about our Maker Art classes on Sunday morning. We teach children to create magical worlds together, combining art, tech and storytelling. Our students get really engaged in the process, which helps them develop their creative, problem-solving and social skills.
The presentation was well received by a great group of teachers, parents and kids. I connected with several librarians and teachers interested in teaching Maker Art in their communities. And one mom reached out to me afterwards to say this was the best talk she heard this year.
Maker Faire remains the Mecca for Bay Area DIY hobbyists and it was well worth the trip for me. I made some good connections after my talk and learned more about robots for our next classes. Onwards!

Following a couple of days trackside to start my October trip to Kentucky, on Friday afternoon it was off to Loretto for the tour of the Makers Mark distillery. They've made quite a few additions since my last visit in 2010 (although sad to see they haven't put my name on a building yet even after all the product I've purchased over the years:)), and the tour is still very good and definitely worth a stop in when hitting up the Bourbon Trail. Fall colors were right about at their peak, so after the tour grabbed a few slides of the very picturesque grounds.
Afterwards headed over to Lexington for the Auburn-Kentucky game on Saturday, which AU won 24-10. Trains, bourbon, and Auburn football made for quite a nice 40th birthday trip!
