In keeping with an environmentally sensitive ‘reuse’ ethos of the Presidio Tunnel Tops park, these benches on the Cliff Walk were made from cypress trees that were in the Presidio and had toppled. This is the only description I could find of the benches, so I’m not sure why they’re labeled ‘driftwood’ – but the label fits with the location and that they are remains of Presidio trees.
FYI, the round structure on the upper right side of the picture is the historic Palace of Fine Arts.
This entrance was once used as a back entrance for when the front parking lot filled up. Today, there is no front entrance into the store.
This store was previously Mancuso's then Mazzulo's Food Centre before becoming Marc's in 1994.

“One Star-Raker takes off as another undergoes airport servicing. With its landing gear extended, Star-Raker ground clearance would have been 1.52 meters (five feet).”
On the landed Star-Raker, note that the door(s) of the main landing gear is/are closed…with the landing gear strut apparently extending through a hole…in the closed door. Interesting, I’d like to see that in operation.
Note also the LAX-like airport.

Specifically, within the above site’s discussion thread, contributed by user “ozmosis”, 18 April 2011, the image is Figure 2, captioned “Multiple Launch”.
That, and other extracts are from Rockwell International presentation/paper SSD 79-0082, entitled “STAR-RAKER: AN AIRBREATHER/ROCKET-POWERED, HORIZONTAL TAKEOFF TRIDELTA FLYING WING, SINGLE-STAGE-TO-ORBIT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM” by: David A. Reed, Jr., Hideo Ikawa & Jonas A. Sadunas. The paper was presented at the AIAA Conference on Advanced Technology for Future Space Systems, at Hampton Virginia, May 8-11, 1979.
Since it’s so damned cool, articles & reproductions of this (and other) Star-Raker images abound online.
As such, it’s particularly gratifying to have come across this & scan it at a glorious 1200 dpi. That, and to have been able to identify the talented artist of this & many other gorgeous works - North American Rockwell/Rockwell International artist Manuel E. Alvarez.
Yay me.
reuse, recycle, re- um... something. i am, what they call in the boardroom, repurposing a bunch of stuff i did for and old job for a new event.
We decided early on in the build that we would try to reuse or recycle as much as we could. With many of our friends here developing properties we decided to put out an appeal for surplus materials that would otherwise have been discarded. As a result we've managed to collect over half the tiles we need. A big thank you to Dave Golding and Dave & Fiona. Tesselating them together will be a challenge but it will be very satisfying if we succeed.
A big thanks to another friend, Maja, for helping us prevent this iron gate from going into landfill

Upgraded boxes like this, can be reused many times because of the protective hardware. The handles and recessed linklocks help the end user handle the shipment with ease.
I dislike wrapping gifts....first there is the waste of paper, and then the time involved. My recycle reuse solution is to use materials from my studio. I buy old McCalls, Butterick patterns at garage sales, and use that pattern tissue to wrap. Some patterns have huge pieces large enough for the most unwieldy gifts. Then, I go to my scrap bin and find long pieces to use as ties....the gift tags are inexpensive mailing tags with the little string to attach...I watercolor these. It is definitely me! #cy365#hohoho

solar-powered LEDs, steel, plastic, reused drinking bottles, the blues (Schizachyrium scoparium, little blue stem)
A temporary public art project, promotes the use of alternative energy sources as well as recycling and responds to Arlington environmental initiative, FreshAIRE. Nearly 700 solar-powered LEDs secured to rods of varying heights, eatch topped with a reused plastic drinking bottle illuminate the traffic island between North Lynn St. and Ft. Myer Drive and several satellite locations throughout the county. The poles' slight flexibility, combined with the LEDs' nebulous glow underneath the ridged surfaces of the plastic drink bottles, create a soft, undulating cloud of light.
An organic arrangement of a native American grass, the blues, stands in contrast to the grid upon which the poles are installed. The blues gets its name from its iridescent blue-green foliage which, over time, will mature into verdant swaths thorought the project site.

An interesting use for panels off a caravan at this Cumbrian farm. Farmers never throw anything away.
I made a reusable grocery bag by fusing used plastic grocery bags into a more durable material. I used the fused material like fabric to sew this bag together. This is the first time I'm made something with a sewing machine. I think it turned out alright, seems very durable, each piece is six sheets fused together. It took me about 5 hours I think, I lose track of time whenever I'm making something. Someone with more skill than me could make just about anything out of the fused material. Seems like a good use for those plastic bags.
Due to that New Jersey was the slowest on phasing out the bad old outdated red trapezoid Children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO because of some mean teachers at school forcing some ice cream trucks to keep their red trapezoid and made a bad and mean-spirited law of ice cream trucks requiring those bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which is extremely confusing to people who are death, color blind, can't read or don't speak English in some of New Jersey, I hereby MOST Amazon warehouses in New Jersey to all be converted into Blue's Clues Handy Dandy Notebook prop replica manufacturing plants, Corbeil School Bus manufacturing plants, Chalkboard Manufacturing Plants to bring back the good friendly schools with green chalkboards and electric mechanical wall bells FOREVER and convert most Amazon prime trucks in New Jersey into better and safe updated ice cream trucks with the good awesome current updated yellow trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word CHILDREN SLOW CROSSING and School bus stop signs which are octagon shape for the state of New Jersey to also include disabled people in the future too and tear apart the last remaining of the ice cream trucks with the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO and recycle all of them into brand new Blue's Clues Handy Dandy notebook prop replicas and reuse the arm the bad old outdated red trapezoid Children Slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO for the brand new stop signs of the new school buses of the future. And for this Schools will also bring back green chalkboards and electric mechanical wall bells and Corbeil school buses and adding in more Disney Snow White and Pinocchio stuff, Corduroy the Bear with two buttons on his green corduroy overalls, Blue's Clues Steve Notebooks, Little Golden Books and other kind-spirited stuff FOREVER quickly and also for schools to get rid of mean teachers, that mean scary looking grumpy face with the freaky spikey eyelashes, triangular eyes and razor blade forehead wrinkles they used to have on Gordon in the old live action model version of Thomas and Friends, Bogen Multicom 2000 systems, mean-spirited angers like Frankie Foster's anger in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and Chief Wiggums meanly aiming his guy in modern Simpsons, and other mean-spirited stuff FOREVER quickly.

Kennedy Jr., Blind Boys of Alabama, Duke Ellington, Rev. C. L. Franklin, Howlin' Wolf, Joe May, Peck Curtis, Joe Willie Wilkins, Raymond Hill
• If I put new furniture or change the rooms, it would not appear to be the place the musicians stayed. That’s the way the building was built. It stays like that. If I change it, I might as well close them doors because people want it that way. -Frank Ratliff, Edge Boston

• Clarksdale-born Ike Turner rehearsed his band & recorded demos at the Riverside • their landmark song "Rocket 88" was credited to Jackie Brenston (1930-1979) and his Delta Cats, who were actually Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm with Turner on piano
• versions of song's origins have Brenston as writer or Ike Turner writing the song with or without Brenston, either at the Riverside Hotel and/or on the road: We started writing the song in the car. By the time we got to Memphis, we was almost finished writing it, and we finished writing it in the studio. It took me 10 or 15 minutes to put the music together. - Ike Turner, We Like Ike, 2001

• 26 Sep, 1937, "Empress of the Blues" Bessie Smith (1894-1937), died in Ward 1 of G.T. Thomas Hospital, now Riverside Hotel's Rm 2 • the 5'9"/200 lb. artist's career had been in decline, her popularity having crested c. 1929 • in midst of a comeback, was featured performer in E. S. Winstead's touring tent-show, Broadway Rastus • listen: I'm Wild About that Thing, 1929 (2:50)
• in early AM, she had been en route to a performance in Darling, MS when critically injured in a car crash • 10 mi. N of Clarksdale on Hwy. 61, her old wood-framed Packard collided with a slow-moving truck • at the wheel was her lover, Richard Morgan, ex-bootlegger associated with Al Capone & uncle of jazz musician Lionel Hampton • Morgan uninjured • truck driver fled scene
• white surgeon Dr. Hugh Smith & fishing buddy Henry Broughton soon came upon wreck • Dr. Smith attended Bessie; Broughton set out to call for ambulance • the patient went into shock; Dr. Smith decided to drive her to Clarksdale himself • before he could move the unconscious singer to his parked vehicle, a car crashed into it • driver and passenger injured • an ambulance & a hearse finally arrived, almost simultaneously, one responding to Broughton's call, the other to truck driver's.
• 11 Nov, 1937, Down Beat magazine ran story by John Hammond (1910-1987), crusader for racial equality & Bessie's record producer • claimed she died in Memphis of blood loss after whites-only hospital refused to treat her • no evidence to support story • local ambulance crew would know not to try white hospital: See, they didn’t send no ambulance to get a colored person in those days. Just a hearse so they wouldn’t have to make two trips if the person just happened to die on the way to the hospital. After Bessie died, newspaper up North said she was refused at the white hospital, but that makes no sense. -"Rat" Ratliff (told to John Rogers, 2012)
• African American hearse driver Willie George Miller rushed Bessie Smith to (black) G.T. Thomas Hospital where her arm was amputated • she died, hours later, at 11:30 AM • nevertheless, the counterfactual story blaming Smith's death on racism went viral, reiterated by news & entertainment media, e.g., Edward Albee's 1960 play, The Death of Bessie Smith • the myth continues to circulate
• Dr. Hugh Smith's 1971 eyewitness account of accident, audio (43:01) • video: Blues Legend Bessie Smith's only film appearance, 1929 2-reel short, St. Louis Blues (15:47) — singing begins at 6:49 • The Death of Bessie Smith by Chris Albertson, author of 1972 bio, Bessie • Who Killed Bessie Smith? -American Blues Scene • Chris Albertson interview -Jerry Jazz Musician
• Broadway Rastus, Bessie Smith's last engagement, was vaudeville review created in 1915 by black actor/writer/producer/director Irwin C. Miller (1884-1975) • lead character Rastus "Broadway" King, always scheming to make easy money, played by Miller in blackface • versions of show ran through 1928, occasionally performed for white audiences
• "They proved that that a first-class colored show can get by in the South. The people are good-looking and young, have good wardrobe on and off, and their ability is second to none; in fact the company could give pointers to many attractions that have played the city this season. The show is in two acts and sixteen scenes, all of which is provided with especially-bui)t scenery. A cast of forty people makes up the company, and it includes... Irvin C. Miller himself." -A. Jackson, 1921 review of Broadway Rastus New Orleans performance in Billboard magazine
• Broadway Rastus purchased by Fayetteville, NC producer Emerson Stowe Winstead (1893-1943), owner of Winstead's Mighty Minstrels (1931-1955) • performers from show appeared in 1947 film, Pitch a Boogie Woogie • poster • video: The Making Of... (58:47) — movie begins at 16:22 • list of entertainers who appeared in blackface
• Bessie Smith performed in Winstead's minstrel show in early 30s • returned to star in his fateful 1937 edition of Broadway Rastus • contract said to have been for $700/wk + 5% of gate
• 7000 fans attended Bessie Smith's funeral • though she had been highest paid black enterainer of the day, estranged husband, security guard Jack Gee, said to have allowed grave to go unmarked • in 1970, singer Janis Joplin — who idolized Smith — partnered with an NAACP official to provide a tombstone
• They say Bessie died because no hospital would take her, but that’s not right at all. They brought her here, right here, laid her up in the front room of the hospital. -Frank "Rat" Ratliff (1943 - 2013)
