Rather diminishing of ol' Geo. Washington, methinks, to shoulder him with the apparent likenesses of Th. Edison and Wm. Shakespeare o'er the threshold of yon eponymous edifice.
wiki sez:
George Washington High School opened on August 4, 1936 to serve as a secondary school for the people of San Francisco’s Richmond District. The school was built on a budget of $8,000,000 on a site overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. The lobby is decorated with murals by Victor Arnautoff in the "buon fresco" styles. They depict scenes from the life and times of George Washington. The stadium, auditorium, and gymnasium were added in 1940. The school was formally dedicated on Armistice Day of 1940.
The accomplishments of its students in various fields of academics, athletics, leadership, and extracurricular activities have given George Washington High School an outstanding reputation among California high schools.
The school was also used in an episode of the hit TV series "The Streets of San Francisco". Maureen McCormick [you know, Marsha Brady] plays a teenage hooker attending the school. There are two scenes showing the school and its view of the Golden Gate Bridge. The episode was in season five. [Eye saw that episode as a young lad! The show was a family favorite.]
The wheel was a handy little invention and so was the flush toilet but remember those dark days of yesteryear when we actually had to get off our butts and go to the tv to change the channel? yech (I managed to get Flo, from Progressive Insurance in the shot-what are the chances? )

We're Here making parody classic album recreations.
I had a previous Mothers of Invention recreation with Freak Out, and that's the album I remember the most from my teenage years. So now here is one that I have always admired the cover and title, but am not really familiar with the songs.
Apologies to the late Neon Park, the original artist on this album.

We still have artillery but we do have rockets for long range. The Germans were using rockets to bomb the UK just some 8 years after this article came out.
This was my invention for my friend Magdelena's 15 year work anniversary party. It was a total secret, but it combined two of her favourite flavours - chocolate and banana - made moist with rich, Greek yogurt and the added benefit of a creamy peanut butter filling and a fudgy mocha frosting!
I decorated the top of the cake with unsweetened banana chips, a coloured chocolate melting wafer and some store-bought decorating frosting, before sprinkling coloured sugar crystals onto the "stem".

My wife and I visited an exhibit at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia called "101 Inventions That Changed the World". The exhibit is in a darkened large room. There are many large video screens in that room placed at various angles, and there are some screens in the floor too. Each invention is shown by still or moving images. Sometimes a subject moves from one screen to another, and sometimes different content runs on several screens. There are benches to sit on as you watch this very dramatic light show going on all around you.
Vợ tôi và tôi đã đến thăm một cuộc triển lãm tại Viện Franklin ở Philadelphia gọi là "101 sáng chế đó thay đổi thế giới". Cuộc triển lãm là trong một căn phòng lớn tối. Có rất nhiều màn hình video lớn trong căn phòng đặt ở góc độ khác nhau, và có một số màn hình trên sàn nhà quá. Mỗi sáng chế được thể hiện bởi vẫn còn hoặc di chuyển hình ảnh. Đôi khi một chủ đề di chuyển từ một màn hình khác, và đôi khi nội dung khác nhau chạy trên một số màn hình. Có ghế ngồi trên khi bạn xem chương trình ánh sáng rất ấn tượng này đang xảy ra xung quanh mình.

For a kids magazine story about strange Canadian inventions. This one was a spinning device for the dinner table that would keep flies away.
We met Emmett Barnes in Shabonna, Illinois at 9:00 a.m. on a Monday as we were coming home from Chicago. My walked into his wood shop and he happened to be on the phone. We ended up talking to him for over an hour about his history, inventions, and past endeavors. He posed for this photo in front of a device he created to repot 144 seedlings into bigger containers as the plants grew. He had been commissioned by a green house in Rockford to create this device.
One of my middle school piano students took this. We had a performance class today and they were all playing with my camera afterward. This is one of the shots they left me. I have no idea which one of them took it.
