Electric Toasters Made in the U.S.A. during the depression years: 1930s

1938 Toastmaster Automatic Pop Up Toaster"Boogie Woogie" by Tommy Dorsey was on the radio airwaves when this model Toastmaster hit the market, with Jimmy Dorsey's "Deep Purple" and no less than The Seven Dwarfs (yes THE Seven Dwarfs) with "Whistle While You Work". It has a chrome body with incised parallel lines that wrap around the corners and sits on a graceful bakelite base.
The top of the toaster slopes toward the push-down lever side. A light/dark knob controls the clockwork timing mechanism. The bottom cover is removable for easy crumb extraction.
This one is in very good condition with minor cosmetic flaws on the mirror finish. It has been fitted with a new replacement cord and molded plug and works just fine.

Bobbi in Boulder bought this model toaster and wrote to say I tried my new Toastmaster yesterday, and I am glad to tell you that it produced a fine piece of toast! I like many different degrees of toast and yesterday I tried the lightest setting to see where to begin. It was heavenly -- just the right amount of crispy -- so delicate. I'm very happy with my toaster!! She looks grand in her spot and she's so tidy and demure (I used to have one of those gargantuan T-Fal monstrosities-- that only lasted 2 years). Most of my life I have bemoaned the demise of the American products we were proud to produce and that lasted forever and could be repaired. This little sweetie is such a gem, and to think, she is 78 years old!:) I get satisfaction from the ticking she produces while she works:)
The Marion Giant Flip Flop ToasterPost, Kellogg and General Mills dominated the breakfast market in the late 1920s. And then sliced bread hit the market. So the Rutenber Company in Marion, Indiana brought out this toaster bearing the slogan "Make Toast Your Breakfast Food". You can see it at the very top of the quite wonderful name badge. Surely brave of Rutenber to go head to head with some giants.
This toaster is a good performer and features sturdy construction, and it is easy to clean because you can get underneath the toasting chamber where the crumbs drop.
And it earns its name Flip Flop for the little double hinged arm at the bottom of the door that pushes the bottom of the slice forward, making the slice flip over to toast the opposite side.
This one is in very good condition and comes with a detachable cord set.

1934 Toastmaster Automatic Pop-up Toaster"Cheek to Cheek" by Irving Berlin topped the charts and "42nd Street" was running on Broadway when Toastmaster produced this stunning architectural design with that could have been a Busby Berkeley set! It has a clockwork timer that ticks with settings from light to dark. Remove the bottom cover for crumb extraction.
I found an advertisement for Coca-Cola, encouraging the consumption of Coke for breakfast, and if you look closely behind the coke bottle, you'll see this toaster on the breakfast table.
In fact, is was suggested as a gift for Christmas in the 1935 Sunset magazine.
This one is in very good condition, but shows use and wear, mostly light scratching to the highly polished chromium plating. I've fitted this one with a new replacement cord with a molded plug.

1934 Toastmaster Single SliceAnd, here is the single slice version of the marvelous 1934 Toastmaster, suitable for tiny kitchens, bachelors and bachelorettes, and patient families.
This one is in good condition with minor signs of wear and use, mostly light scratching from daily use. It has been fitted with a new black neoprene replacement cord.

Sunbeam Silent Automatic Toaster, mid-1930sYou'd never know that this toaster arrived during the depression years. This statuesque, two-slice toaster is automatic but not pop-up. When the toast is done, the toasting panels turn off automatically. When you want your toast, simply raise the handle. It uses a bimetal timing mechanism rather than a clockworks hence the name "Silent Automatic."
It has been completedly disassembled, derusted, terminals cleaned, nuts and bolts replaced with stainless steel where necessary, the carriage mechanism lubricated, and the bimetal blades calibrated.
The beautiful chrome body with bakelite handles sits on an ornate bakelite base. It features a faceted glass jewel set in the front that glows orange when the toaster is in operation. It comes with a detachable cord set which plugs in at the center of the back.
The case on this one shows light scratching, consistent with being wiped down, and as is common with this model, the base has an inconsipicuous crack along a seam.

Patty in Burlington, Indiana bought this toaster and wrote to say Your beautiful Sunbeam Silent Automatic toaster arrived safely yesterday and it's a work of art; I can't stop admiring it. And to think, this beauty even makes toast! To say I'm thrilled with this purchase is an understatement.
Turn Easy Toaster with Ivory Colored KnobsI don't know for sure, but suspect that this model is from the late 1930s. It has ivory colored knobs and feet which are all in very good condition but overall the toaster is in average condition.
This one has suffered abuse from abrasive cleaners. There is scratching on the top of the toaster as well as the top of the door and also on the top the other door too as I've emphasized in the pictures with lighting.
The toaster is perfectly clean inside and out, and the inside of both doors shows some corrosion in the corners. It comes with a detachable cord set.

1931 L & H Dropper from MilwaukeeLindemann & Hoverson was a prominent manufacturer in Milwaukee, with a factory four blocks long on Cleveland Avenue with a thousand workers, iron and brass foundries, sheet metal shops, machine shops, research and chemical labs, a power plant, and loading docks for 30 rail cars at once. Albert Lindemann's insisted his factory be clean, well lighted, ventilated and safe, remarkable in the 1920s. He also served as president of the Milwaukee School Board and founder and administrator of the Milwaukee Trade School. Buy the book and you can read the fascinating history.
In 1931, when gas cost ten cents a gallon and the average price of a new home was less than seven thousand dollars, this toaster sold for $15, a handsome price. When it was advertised in 1931, it was billed as The Toaster That Almost Thinks. (Yeah, but can it play Jeopardy?) But, it earned the billing because it is automatic, well sort of.
First, on control panel you flip the On switch to let the toaster heat up for a minute; next adjust the setting for how dark; next raise the top cover, which also closes the flaps at the bottom of each slot.
Lastly, cock the lever to start the timing and drop in the bread. The lever operates a clockworks mechanism which eventually triggers the bottom flaps to open allowing the toast to fall down a chute on either side, and automatically!
I cannot recommend this one for anything but occassional use or as an art object, but it is in working order and will make good toast, but with a twist -- the center panel runs hot, so you have to take the slices out and reverse them after ninety seconds. This one shows a touch of corrosion and some scratching. It comes with a detachable cord set.

The Edicraft Speed ToasterFor Christmas 1929, Toastmaster led the electric automatic toaster market with it's toaster but it toasted only one slice at a time. So, it's no wonder that this toaster was billed as 'double slice, double side, double quick'. And, the notion of speed was modern and sleek and streamlined in 1929.
Indeed, this high-end toaster would toast both sides of two slices at once. It's a clamshell design, with heating panels mounted inside both doors. It has a clockworks timer on the control panel, with Thomas Edison's signature even.
It heats up as soon as you plug it into a wall receptacle and turn on the inline switch. Then one cocks a lever that winds a clock and also closes both doors. At the end, the doors open, but the current doesn't go off automatically. If you want a toaster for daily use, look for a Sunbeam or Toastmaster; this one is more of a collectible and curiosity.
It is in reasonably good condition and working. The main flaw is some plating loss alont the top of one door.
The toaster was heavily promoted, with Christmas ads in 1929 and 1930. It was pictured in a period booklet called Equipping The Modern Home from Lewis and Conger on 45th Street in New York, presumably to guide young brides on what to buy -- Baccarat glassware and this this Edison Speed Toaster. They even invented a character called Rita who scored a social coup and has nothing on her gift list but Edicraft electrical appliances.

Circle ToasterThe shape of the case is a circle intersected on the horizontal plane with the black base. The pushdown lever and release lever are located on the narrow side with only the Light/Dark adjusting wheel appearing on the face of the toaster. The wheel turns, but doesn't seem to do anything to the clock.
This is not a good choice for regular use; rather, a still functioning example of terrific design and function. This toaster has not been refurbished and is sold 'as is'. I've made toast in it.
The clock still ticks, and it still pops up automatically. The surprise is that the release lever will pop up the toast early, but leaves the heating elements on until the end of the clock cycle. The light/dark dial doesn't seem to do anything.
On the back side, there is a little crumb drawer that pulls out of the base..
Circle Toaster
Superlectric ToasterThis toaster incorporates two elements of modern design: concentric circles with staggered speed lines, and the waterfall handles and base. The rounded corners are central to streamlining and the notion of speed. The manufacturer used lightning bolts in the Superlectric logotype (image taken from a different toaster.)
As nifty as it looks, this is not a good choice for regular use. This toaster has not been refurbished and is sold 'as is'. I've made toast in it.
The clock still ticks, and it still pops up automatically. The surprise is that the release lever simply lifts the carriage to raise the toast, but leaves the heating elements on until the end of the clock cycle.

A workout app, whether you believe in zombies or not
Zombies, Run is the most successful fitness app so far, and here's its first spin-off, prequel, you name it, with the only goal to prepare you to run 5 kilometers (3 miles). It's thought that if you're able to run such a distance in a reasonable time, your chances of surviving the first day of a zombie outbreak raise 32%, which seems a good reason to be fit unless you prefer to be food (best pun today!). It also helps your heart and lungs.
Either way, this app is designed for even those who haven't ever run a mile, yes, you who ride the car to go to the grocery next block. And it's really fun. Give it a go, and give a go to yourself by the way.
Once you are a little bit more prepared, run to Zombies Run!
(If you already have some running experience, check out our "Zombies, Run!" app with extra features including 30 more missions, 'zombie chase' interval training, a base-building game, time and distance audio notifications, and more!)
Zombies, Run! 5k Training comes from the creators of Zombies, Run! (Six to Start & Naomi Alderman), the world's most successful smartphone exercise game with 800,000+ players worldwide.
Featured by the New York Times, BBC, Time, Wired, and Runner's World!
"This app is amazing. It gets me wanting to go for a run, it's not exercise anymore, it's pure entertainment."
"Keeps me entertained and actually makes me want to stay out running longer. Love it!"
"This app is a work of genius - I finally have a reason to run!!
Devised by Julia Jones and Shauna Reid of Up and Running e-courses, this 8-week, 25 workout training program combines awesome storytelling with expert training know-how. Using this app isn't just good for you - it's also amazingly exciting!
You're Runner 5, a vital member of one of the last outposts of humanity at Abel Township. During 25 workouts, you'll be trained to help find supplies and protect the town from the ever-encroaching horde of the shambling dead, in a story written by award-winning novelist Naomi Alderman. You'll learn about the characters, and you'll have a vital mission of your own to train for and complete. Once your training is complete, you'll be in the perfect place to continue the story as the hero in "Zombies, Run!"
Everything about Zombies, Run! 5k Training is designed for beginner runners: clear and detailed workout instructions, a gentle learning curve, and importantly, we don't make any zombies chase you until you're ready!
Choose your own custom music playlists before you start running: the story unfolds in during your tracks through a series of dynamic radio messages and voice recordings.
We integrate fully with our free online ZombieLink service, so you can check your running stats and view and share your maps online, all in a beautiful and easy-to-use interface! Plus you can export your runs to Runkeeper via ZombieLink.
Zombies, Run! 5k Training takes place between Mission 1 and Mission 2 of Season 1, so it's a fantastic way to experience 24 all-new missions about how Runner 5 first trained up with Sam, Doctor Myers, and the rest of Abel Township to become a valued Runner. (But if you're looking to find out what happens after Zombies, Run!'s epic cliffhanger, you'll need to wait for Season 2...)

People, quit complaining. Once you figure out how to properly set up this app it's extremely addictive. The hardest problem I had was to search for and install Winamp. Once I did this the music works perfectly. I AM NOT a runner type but after purchasing and running the first two workouts I will complete this and buy the Zombies, Run app. I highly recommend this to anyone who is a zombie fan and/o
I don't consider myself a runner but thi app is changing my mind. The story is engaging and the music integration a great feature. I love that I can syn my run and see calories burn, maps and distance online. Great app!
138MB?! What for?! That's ridiculous, I can't install this on my phone.
Fantastic app, training program, and story! I thought I had good endurance before downloading it; but four weeks ago I could have barely run from one end of my street circle to the other. Now, after four weeks, it's no problem to keep going around. If you want to start running and don't really have a motivation, this is a great place to start. I know I will be buying the regular version at the end
This is such a great app - I'd recommend it to anyone. Totally worth the money and so much fun!
The story is great so far and I enjoy the pacing and Playlist integration. I don't like how minimal the app is. The "base" and everything else seems to be online. I tried visiting the site on my phone but it isn't very phone compatible and freezes often. The main reason I gave it 3 stars is because the mileage is terrible. I traveled under 3 miles and even though this app supposedly tracks GPS it
Entertaining... Easy to run to and super helpful training tool for me. If I had one issue it is that whatever your playlist is when you start is what you get. Have to reset the settings for the app to get the updated playlist. A playlist refresh button would be great. That way when I add a song it mixes it in with the rest of the playlist. That alone is the only reason for the 4 star rating

A board member of the State's Home Builders Association wants the city of Springfield to decide what it will do about updated energy efficiency codes.
Dean Graven wants the city to either ditch it's compliance to the International Energy Conversation Codes and force the state of Illinois to enforce the standards or get the city in place to enforce the standards. Either way, Graven says the city must make that decision.
An ordinance in front of Springfield aldermen would change the city's code to adhere to the most recent code standards as prescribed by state law.
Graven says the state Association of Home Builders will soon provide a policy paper to the city and the state to urge a change in the law to keep the playing field level and not force high costs onto new construction.
Graven says that the city refusing to comply with the latest IECC codes won't keep builders from having to comply with the law, but it puts an unnecessary burden on consumers, the home builders and the home building process.
Aldermen Frank Edwards said if it's the state's law, let the state enforce it.
Edwards says as Springfield considers a tax increase for infrastructure, the last thing they should be doing is hiring more building code enforcers to enforce the latest published IECC Codes.
Corporation Counsel Mark Cullen says that the city could drop all energy efficiency standards enforcement and let the home builders comply with state law on their own.
Graven says that the law will hurt the lower end consumer and homes for organizations like Habitat for Humanity.
Graven also says there are a series of discussions with various organizations throughout the state to continue lobbying the state to change the state law.
Aldermen decided to hold the ordinance in committee for further analysis on its financial impact.

Post subject: Girls, Aspergers, and ... horses?
I've read in a couple of places that it's stereotypical for girls with Aspergers to be obsessed with horses. I was and I mentioned this to my psychologist and he said is was a dead give away! I was so obsessed with horses I could draw an extremely good likeness from memory (of course I've only ever ridden a horse twice in my life). I still have a soft spot for them (I even have drew a couple last year) but I'm no longer obsessed. I have a soft spot for dogs but didn't obsess over them like I did with horses. So what is with this stereotype? What is it about horses that attracts Aspie girls (over other animals or other possibilities) and any female Aspies out there - were you ever obsessed with horses?

I think a lot of girls have the horse obsession. My sister and I both were and are horsie. We each have two horses and love riding. I'm an Aspie and she isn't. I know plenty of other NT's who are obsessed with horses too. Horses are just so easy to become obsessed with

I wanted to know everything about horses for a couple of months some time in my childhood. However, this only came from that my peers were obsessed with horses. I never made a serious attempt at learning much about horses and the interested soon died out. I might not be very typical in this.

Hmm, I've never heard that before. But I have heard that many Aspie guys have obssessions for train. I don't, however. Probably because the first I was on a train, I threw up on it.
It still seems kinda strange though that having Aspergers can cause such a specific obsession.

My wife is Aspie and fits the obsession. She follows the breeders blogs, she can quote from memory the lineage of the Triple Crown winners, etc. For our family vacation we went to the Kentucky Horse Park and one of the race tracks (even though it was closed at the time.) She even visited the grave sites of some of the horses. Obsession? Special interest? Yes, I think so.

I fit!
From the age of four I pretended on a near-daily basis to be a horse or ride a horse or own one. I ran around on all fours until I was ten during this. It was a completely solitary play. I read novels about horses, watched movies, drew them and learned all about the breeds and their characteristics, the rules of horse jumping and read horse psychology. At 8 I started riding horses once a week, but that only fuelled my obsession more. At about 12 I spent fouyr days a week at the stable, although I only had my class once a week. I had no friends and didn't care for the other girls there, I just wanted to be left alone with my favourite horse and I could spend hours just petting her and grooming her. I was intensely possessive of her. I also started doing oil-paintings of horses.
We moved when I was 15, and I couldn't afford to keep it up and I also became very depressed and started obsessing about loneliness and depressive music instead. But I still love horses, I never really let it go completely.

I passed through a brief "horse phase" when I was about 11. But so did most of my Girl Scout troop as well, and the leaders even capitalized on this interest and we took riding lessons as a troop. These girls were all quite stereotypically NT, except for me.

I was obsessed with horses when I was 8 or 9. I was under the impression it was sparked by me trying to play with this group of girls who were being horses, who told me to 'go to sleep' then while I obliged, they 'galloped' off, leaving me. This started a massive obsession with horses including many books, a magnet, photos and even 2 years of riding lessons/days helping out at the stables. I also kept getting told off for drawing horses, about 4 times I think, the punishments getting severer each time, even though once I had drawn it at lunch time but it was in front of me during class and my mother was told.
My twin friends had ponies and another girl I didn't like who didn't like me had a pony and I tried to be her friend so I could visit it. My neighbours have a stable and I was sooo jealous their grown up daughter had a horse in the field behind our house when she was young. I desperately wanted my own horse and couldn't think of anything I would rather do than go and groom my own horse. I never did get one and I'm quite glad, the novelty would probably have worn off
I wanted to show my 'friends' that I did know about horses but it lasted quite a while and I never really made friends with them again. Ha. Just me trying to fit in and failing, as usual.

I have Asperger's Syndrome and I am a girl, however.... I have never been even remotely interested in horses. I have a thing for small dogs. In particular, I enjoy the Maltese and the Frise (two of the four Bichon's). I have had poodles, but they are just not the same. I have always had a small white dog. When one dies I have to replace it with another. At one point I had three small white dogs, but now I only have one. have a maltese and I belong to a few different maltese dog forums. Maltese Only is the best one that I have found to date.
This is one of my obsessions.....
Another is/was "culture". I enjoy reading about people of various cultures from around the world. I am also interested in past cultures/civilizations and ancient religions. It all started when I was very young, however. I used to pretend to be a hunter gatherer type "indian" when I was little. I would go so far as to construct a hut and make clothing from old brown paper bags that I had crumpled to a soft "fabric". I would insist on living in my hut during the summer. Sometimes I was actually permitted to sleep in the hut if I could convince my mom or brother to sleep outside with me. I did more or less the same thing with early American settlers. The highlight of my year was in the summer when my mother would take me to a local pioneer festival. The folks that ran the event dressed in period clothing and lived in the old buildings during the festival. They had no electricity or plumbing. I usually got to play the part of an "extra" for the events. I dressed in period clothing and played with the antique toys and did chores similar to those that a child living in the late 1700's to early 1800's would have engaged in.
I am still interested in people from around the world and from different times......
Horses.... not so much.

I'm a girl (I'm not dx'd Aspie, but I'm curious as to whether I have it) and I have loved horses for as long as I can remember. I've also heard the thing about Asperger girls being obsessed with horses. I got my first horse at about 10, but I was interested/around them before that. I still have a horse now. I'm trying really hard to find somewhere I can go to college where I can bring my horse with me.

my horse obsession lasted a decade, but I think was born from the disappointment that I would never own a dinosaur.
I learned the basics of genetics by reading horse husbandry and breeding books. everything was horses for me for about 10 years.

Burlap to Cashmere
Stepping back into the spotlight after a decade away takes an unusually high degree of musical integrity.
For folk-rock pioneer Burlap to Cashmere, a band that built a reputation for both exceptional studio projects and as an unyielding touring act in the late '90s, that integrity shines through on a new self-titled, 11-track project due July 19 on Jive/Essential Records.

Recently, aerial drones have been used to bless festival goers with strategically placed beer drops and burrito lovers with air-borne deliveries. The next step in the fast-food delivery evolutionary chain is the DomiCopter, an octocopter designed to ferry Domino's pizza to your front door. Read More
New York City-based robotics developer Falkor Systems is working on autonomous flying robots that could fly alongside extreme athletes, shooting video of their exploits in the process. Beyond that, however, the company envisions a day in which such machines may hover around everyday people, acting as their assistants and perhaps even becoming their "friends." In a demonstration of how such a relationship could be possible, Falkor recently used an augmented AR Drone quadcopter to take part in a modern dance performance with a human partner. Read More
Quadcopters are becoming more and more popular with radio-controlled model enthusiasts, but sometimes ... sometimes you still just want to remotely-control a car. If that's the case with you, then UK-based product designer Witold Mielniczek has got you covered. His prototype vehicle, known simply as B, functions as both a quadcopter and an off-road racer. Read More
While we hear a lot about the ways in which hovering aerial drones can potentially be used to violate peoples' privacy, it's always nice to know that they can help us, too. That was the case last Thursday (May 9th), when RCMP from the Canadian city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan used a remotely-operated quadcopter to locate the victim of a single-vehicle rollover, which occurred in the countryside at near-freezing temperatures. Read More
Well, that didn't take long. Just this January, DJI Innovations released its GPS-enabled Phantom quadcopter. Now, at this week's National Association of Broadcasters show in Las Vegas, the company has unveiled a self-stabilizing camera mount that can be added to existing Phantoms, plus an upgraded Phantom that includes its own HD video camera. Additionally, DJI's new iOS app allows users to view onboard video output in real time on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch via Wi-Fi. Read More
One of the things that many people like about the AR Drone is the fact that the user's iPad doubles as the quadcopter's control unit. While using a tablet as a controller does have its advantages, there is one drawback – because the iPad communicates with the drone via Wi-Fi, its range is quite limited. The designers of the Fighting Walrus Radio are attempting to remedy that situation, by allowing newer iPads, iPhones and iPod touches to communicate with unmanned aerial vehicles via longer-range radio frequency.

If current technology trends are any indication, it's possible that human lifeguards could be replaced by robots in the future. So far, we've seen a remote-controlled rescue buoy and a salamander-like bot that travels on both water and land, among many others. Rather than having to cut through rough water to get to folks in trouble like many search and rescue robot designs, an Iranian research center proposes a quadcopter called Pars that launches from a floating platform and drops life preservers precisely where they're needed.

A team of masters students from the Queen Mary, University of London is hoping to develop the world's first photovoltaic multi-copter. Dubbed "Solarcopter," the team's creation is a solar powered remote controlled helicopter-prototype designed for multipurpose applications. Read More
Review: DJI Phantom quadcopter
Whether you call it a quadcopter, quadrocopter, quadrotor, UAV or (gasp) a drone, DJI's new GPS-equipped Phantom is certainly a nifty little radio-controlled aircraft. We first heard about the Phantom when it was officially launched this January and since then I've had a chance to try out the, uh – let's call it a quadcopter – for myself. Here's a quick look at my experiences with it, and I'll say this right now: the thing was more fun than a barrel full of flying monkeys. Read More
Quadrocopters throw, catch, and balance an inverted pendulum
Apparently, balancing a pole on top of a flying quadrocopter robot wasn't challenging enough for the researchers at ETH Zurich's Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control. Their latest project has two quadrocopters playing catch with a precariously balanced pole – the first robot launches the pole into the air, while the second robot deftly moves into position in less than a second to catch it as it falls. The incredible precision flying achieved by the team can be seen in a video after the break. Read More

Our Destin Chiropractors
Dr. Payne of Payne Chiropractic Wellness Center
Dr. Payne began his pre-med education at Northwestern Michigan University where he studied the basic sciences such as inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, along with basic physiology and anatomy courses. After completing his study there, he was accepted at Life Chiropractic College in Marietta GA. During his four years at Life, courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, X-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting and techniques. After graduating in 1993 Dr. Payne and his wife Juli moved to Destin, Florida to establish his practice. Dr. Payne is married to Juli and they have four children, Makayla, Jacob, Nathan, and Alyanna. All four children were born at home and the last three were water births. Juli chose to have water births at home in a birthing pool called an AquaDoula. None of the kids have ever received a vaccination or an antibiotic. Dr. Payne specializes in the Gonstead Art of Chiropractic, and Pediatric Chiropractic techniques taught from Dr. Larry Webster. Thank you for visiting our site. I hope it can be a source of hope and healing.
Dr. Morgan of Payne Chiropractic Wellness Center
Dr. Jake grew up in the small town of Finlayson, Minnesota. He was very involved with sports (football, basketball, golf and track). He had worsening neck pain and migraines throughout junior high and high school until he was introduced to chiropractic care during 11th grade. It was the first relief he had in 4 years.
After grad school Dr. Jake went to Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Bloomington, Minnesota. He studied all the major techniques including Applied Kinesiology, Advanced Biostructural Correction, Activator, Torque Release, Thompson, Diversified, and of course Gonstead. He chose the Gonstead technique because of it's specificity.
In 2009, Dr. Jake opened River of Life Chiropractic in Jordan, MN and remained there 5 years until the opportunity to come down to sunny Florida. He is pictured with his wife, Alyssa, and their two girls, Elliana and Cadence. The girls love going to the beach! Alyssa is a former special education and middle school math teacher.

"We'll find out, maybe not until Tuesday. That's when we form up for practice," Fox said, when asked if either running back will be ready for the Jets.
"We let one slip away," Johnson said. "And that's hard. In the NFL, you can't let any slip away, because winning is hard every week. I don't care who you play; you've got to win whenever you get a chance to. Losing two home games, this game hurts more than the last, I think."
"You hope Matt's OK," Palko said. "You don't want to get it under those circumstances. But this is football, and you've got to be ready to go.
"Anytime you play, anytime you can get more experience, it's always good. You've just got to take advantage of those (snaps)."

Windows 7
"this service cannot be started in safe mode"
I recently got the BSOD problem with "irql_not_less_or_equal" term. I found some hotfixes in microsoft websites that installing them can help me fix this problem.
Unfortunately, these hotfixes need to perform in normal mode with "windows installer service" enabled but I can't access normal mode because I recieved the BSOD in normal mode and I can only boot in "safe mode", and in "safe mode" the "windows installer service" isn't enabled.
When I executed these hotfixes, I received this error:
"installer encountered an error: 0x8007043c"
"this service cannot be started in safe mode"
Can you show me a solution to enable "windows installer service" in the "safe mode" to install those hotfixes?
(I already tried adding the following registry item "REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\
Minimal\MSIServer /VE /T REG_SZ /D Service net start msiserver" and also tried "SafeMSI.exe" tool to enable this service, but they didn't help me")
thank you...

After a 12 years long collaboration full of International success, the working relationship between CRG and Jonathan Thonon comes to an end.
Article & Photo By: kartcrg-racingteam
CRG and Jonathan Thonon, works driver of the Italian firm since 2002, decided by common consent to stop their collaboration after a fruitful relationship that was extended to the whole 2013 season.
Jonathan Thonon has been wearing CRG colors for all these years as he went on track with team VDK first and then as the main team's works driver. Thonon awarded CRG with a lot of satisfaction including four stunning wins in the KZ1 World Cups of 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011, the podium in Paris-Bercy in 2001, the victories in the European Championships in 2002 (ICA) and 2008 (KZ1), the win in Las Vegas, the 2010 victories in WSK Euro Series (KZ1) and WSK World Series (KZ2) and in the 2007 WSK International Series (KZ2).
In this season, Jonathan Thonon and CRG obtained the fourth place in the KZ European Championship with the podium in Genk and the third place in the KZ1 WSK Euro Series.
CRG thanks Jonathan Thonon for the very good relationship with the firm as well as with the racing team and wishes him all the best for his career and the achievement of many more important results.

I met a boy back early this year, lets call him Ass Cunt Shit Face, I talked to this kid like a fucking bestfriend gave him my trust and I put my all into our talking. I guess after a while I started to like him, I really fucking liked him, I still do actually. He and I were getting close and shit, and on the 24th of April, he left me, he said he didnt want to get attached. Too fucking late asshole, I fell hard for him. A month goes by and on the 2nd of June, I get an aplogy from him, and he wants a second chance, foolishly I said yes to his second chance, we got closer everthing was fine, then I called it off, he was pulling away again, and this time, I saw it coming, I called it off and we stayed as bestfriends, it was total bullshit, I mean I fucking told him I loved him, I fucking did, he told me he loved me too and I fucking believed him, ugh. I mean, I stayed by his side since day fucking one, I listened to him vent and talk about his shitty life and his shitty school, I was there for him when he needed me, I told him I'd always be there for him, why?'Cause I fucking loved him. I was there. me. Not anybody else. I was his fucking back bone. Theres a fucking hole in my heart because of all the shit he put me through, I hope you fucking read this you heartless jerk. I don't fucking know why I still give 2 shits about you. My mom and dad know about you, they know how i get those fucking butterfflies and shit. With 4 guys tryna get at me I still wait for the day when you and I can have our time. I just I tried too fucking hard to be everything you needed. You rarely showed me you gave a shit. I have my days, you had yours. I stayed I wanted to work things out, I fucking cried over you. I havent cried over someone in so fucking long, you brought down my walls and left just like that. I know I act like I dont give a fuck 99% of the time, but for you i gave 3 fucks about, you. I wanted you. I fell in love with you. When you took days to reply I always thought you were talking to someone else, someone better. I wasn't ever good enough for you, I probably never will be perfect for you. You dont want long distance, i fucking get that, I just thought I was worth it to you. but im not. Know what sucks? I put my fucking all into you, you were worth it, you were different. I just I dont want you to come back to me, I let my guard down for you, you showed me why I shouldn't have done that. I still fucking love you, but guess what else? FUCK YOU JOHN.
Pansexuality (sometimes referred to as omnisexuality) is a sexual orientation characterized by the potential for aesthetic attraction, romantic love and/or sexual desire for people regardless of their gender identity or biological sex. This includes potential attraction to people who do not fit into the gender binary of male/female implied by bisexual attraction. Pansexuality is sometimes described as the capacity to love a person romantically irrespective of gender. Some pansexuals also assert that gender and sex are meaningless to them. In short, I dont care whats in between your legs, I love you for you.

100 Year Starship Symposium Concludes, Politicians Attack
RocketAcademy (2708739) writes | more than 2 years ago0
RocketAcademy writes "The 100 Year Starship Symposium wrapped up on Sunday. Friends are offering constructive criticism.
Senator Tom Coburn has some less friendly criticism. He wants to cut funding for the starship program as part of a cost-savings package.
Senator Coburn apparently hasn't done his homework, though. DARPA and NASA provided the initial seed funding for the 100 Year Starship Initiative, but the project is expected to find its own funding from here on."

Health & Baby
Colic Usually Gone in Three Months
Dec. 9, 2002 -- She can laugh about it now, but Michelle DeHaven remembers her first three months of motherhood as one of the most stressful times of her life. She and her husband spent countless sleepless nights trying to console their infant daughter, but nothing seemed to stop the inexplicable, late-night crying.
Like DeHaven, parents coping with a colicky infant often feel like crying themselves. While the reasons for colic remain a mystery, a new study should help reassure moms and dads who fear the screaming will never end.
"People who have not had a colicky baby can't understand," the Atlanta veterinarian tells WebMD. "This was not a little fussy. She would cry ... from six to 12 hours, and we were going insane. It was stressful on me, it was stressful on my husband, and it was stressful on our marriage."
Researchers found that in most cases colic episodes resolved before three months. Only about 15% of the infants included in the study remained colicky after this age. But about half of those babies developed the condition later than normal, suggesting that this late-onset colic could represent a unique subgroup.
"We found a peak in crying at about six weeks of age for most babies, but by three months everything was back to normal," researcher Tammy J. Clifford, PhD, tells WebMD. "We have to wonder, though, what is going on with the babies who were not colicky at six weeks, but were at three months. It is possible that these babies have long-term temperament problems, but that hasn't been studied."
Colic is characterized by inconsolable crying, stiffness, and wakefulness that usually occur in the evening hours.
Clifford and colleagues from the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario surveyed the mothers of 547 infants a week after delivery, then several more times within the first six months. Their findings are reported in the December issue of the journal Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.
They found that mothers of colicky babies at six weeks old were no more likely to be anxious or depressed at the end of the study than mothers whose babies were never colicky. In another phase of the study, Clifford and colleagues found that bottle-fed babies were no more likely to develop colic than breast-fed babies. In addition, anxious mothers were no more likely to have colicky babies than calm ones.
"Maternal anxiety has long been believed to be a causal factor in colic, but we did not find this to be the case," Clifford says.
Pediatrics expert Ronald G. Barr, MDCM, tells WebMD he believes colic stems not from a physical problem, but from evolutionary hard-wiring. He adds that if this is the case, the crying episodes during the first few months of life should be considered normal. A professor in child development at Montreal's McGill University, Barr wrote an editorial accompanying the new research.

I have been coming to the festival for most of the 25 years I have lived in Seattle. The friend who spearheads our group reserves an entire dorm in the hostel, buys us group tickets, and spends the night sleeping in line so we can be right up front. I will never forget… the first time I saw the run when the gates open. Or the year that it was pouring during the evening concert and one of our group cut holes for our heads out of a giant tarp and we sat there, a row of heads sticking up out of a blue tarp, somewhat dry, anyway. Tuvan Throat Singers, Utah Phillips, Ani DeFranco, Buffy St. Marie, a drumming workshop with all different styles of drums, somehow melding into credible rhythms, incredible groups I never heard of before, Iris Dement, white figures moving through the crowd at the evening concert, sign-language interpreters moving like birds, etc., etc. More memories than I can write here…

The growth-focused North American arm of global textile innovator Camira is settling into its new West Michigan headquarters, just minutes from many of its largest customers and squarely within the nexus of the contract furniture industry giants.
After operating out of an Indianapolis warehouse since 2010, Camira recently moved into a spacious facility on Grand Rapids' northwest side, replete with a showroom, offices, collaboration zones, and a fabric sample space. These areas edge the 10,000-square-foot distribution center stocked with 50,000 yards of textiles in myriad colors, patterns, and textures.
In this change of locale, the company is considering more than just its proximity to the contract market, according to Rune Akselberg, president of Camira Group, Inc.
"Our move to West Michigan is really about Camira embracing a completely unique customer experience," Akselberg said. "We now have a very comfortable space where we can bring customers and designers to showcase our culture, to get a better feel for the story behind our fabrics, and to work more closely together. This makes a huge difference in our ability to meet our customers' needs."
At the same time, Camira is signaling its aggressive commitment to the North American market by leasing a permanent showroom in Chicago's Merchandise Mart. The 11th floor showroom is being renovated this spring in preparation for the annual NeoCon World's Trade Fair exposition in June.
Camira's burgeoning brand recognition and preference among the architecture and design community is due in equal parts to its strong environmental message, as well its portfolio of trend-forward designs while keeping prices and lead times low.
Camira maintains a closed-loop supply chain so it can control and trace everything from the pure new wool and hemp to the dyes and stinging nettles used to produce the all-natural fabrics. Utilizing natural and sustainably farmed resources and operating its own mills in Europe allows Camira to develop new products faster and cheaper, and to manufacture and distribute its fabrics quickly. Lead times in North America currently run at two to four days, and the Camira mills typically can make and deliver a new fabric for a customer within a week.
The relocation also is a harbinger of the brand's projected growth here.
"We have big aspirations and expectations," Akselberg said. "I'm really proud of this company and our people, as well as our products. We strongly believe that we are leading the way as the go-to provider for natural fabrics—and that's mirrored at Camira on both sides of the pond. This is an exciting time for us."

July is budgeting time for Kansas' cities and counties, which means tough choices any year but especially for 2015. This week the Douglas County administrator proposed a property tax increase of 3.85 mills, in part to offset the loss of revenue from the Legislature's repeal of the mortgage registration fee, according to the Lawrence Journal-World. And the Finney County Commission proposed a budget that slightly lowers the mill levy but includes a 10 percent across-the-board cut to funding for outside agencies that serve seniors, the mentally ill and children, among others, the Garden City Telegram reported. "We can't fund it all and keep taxpayers happy," Finney County Commission Chairman Larry Jones said.

i didn't like bioware's design on female kossith, so… i made my own!
i like the idea of them having only one set of horns, and thicker hair tied up in various constellations. but they would be buff and almost the same height as males. (a head taller than humans)
my sister has an awesome headcanon that every qunari kossith get the same military training, regardless of class and gender, because even if most warriors are men, the women still need to be able to fight and defend the farms and caravans and what not.
so yea, this is how i vision them to look like! purely headcanon.

Mother & Baby Homes – A Manifest Breach of Human Rights in Ireland?

Critics calling for the ouster of Kathleen Sebelius after Obamacare's clumsy online rollout are unlikely to get their wish any time soon.
Carrie Dann, a political reporter for NBC News.com, points out that if the Cincinnati native "were sacked, it would leave a crucial cabinet position vacant – and Republicans could use a confirmation fight to re-argue the merits of Obamacare. And many GOP leaders are already calling for her resignation after technical glitches made initial online registration nearly impossible for millions of Americans."
There's another problem: Losing the Health and Human Services secretary would leave the agency without a leader when it is under intense pressure to fix flaws in the Healthcare.gov website before Dec. 15 – the last day for Americans to enroll for coverage that begins on the first of the year.
"The idea of her resigning is silly," Jay Angoff, the former head of implementation for Obamacare insurance reforms at HHS and now an attorney at Mehri and Skalet, told Dann. "If she did, it would just make a bad situation worse. She has a wealth of institutional knowledge that no one else can match, and it wouldn't make any sense."
"From the standpoint of fixing these problems in the short term, it's not clear that Secretary Sebelius resigning would make any difference, and right now the administration does need a visible point person to help explain what's going on with the website, how it's being addressed, and what people should be looking for to see progress that's being made," said Mark McClellan, who served as the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services during the rocky launch of the now-popular Medicare Part D during the George W. Bush administration. "Those are all things that she can still do."
Any attempt to replace Sebelius, a former Kansas governor and the daughter of the late Ohio Gov. John Gilligan, would be meet with strong partisan resistance, led by those who have spent years attempting to dismantle the law.
"The White House is smart enough to know that if she steps aside or they ask her to resign, they will never get anybody else confirmed," Sebelius' sister Ellen told the New York Times.
You can read Dann's full report here.

Man Utd legend Irwin believes Ronaldo will be back at Old Trafford
8/4/13 in Soccer | KurtKingsley | 1858 respect
Speculation about Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United is causing an unparalleled hype in the football community. Recent reports suggest Manchester United will reacquire their former player before the end of this week. The Premier League champions have already predicted big news will be revealed on August 8.
Meanwhile, Manchester United legend Denis Irwin has backed the return of the Portuguese star. Irwin suspects Ronaldo of returning to Old Trafford this summer following David Moyes' failed attempt to lure Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona.
Ronaldo, who left Manchester United in 2009 for his dream to play at Real Madrid, has been quite on his transfer saga. The coveted winger's silence is causing speculation about his move to increase. Reports about Real Madrid's attempt to sign Tottenham Hotspur star Gareth Bale are proving to be a catalyst for Ronaldo's exit.
Real Madrid are determined to sign in Bale. The arrival of Welsh winger is expected to end Ronaldo's career at Real Madrid. The 28-year-old Portugal international is believed to be unhappy with his stay at Bernabeu, having won little silverware despite superb performances.
Irwin, a Manchester United ambassador, claims his side is perfectly capable of affording Ronaldo's transfer fees and salary. Irwin believes the move should greatly help Manchester United in strengthening their situation in England and Europe.
"So Manchester United have been linked for a second time this summer with a return to Old Trafford for Cristiano Ronaldo," Irwin wrote in an article for the Sunday World. "Of course it could happen, but I believe the speculation may be sparked by the ever-clearer indications that Gareth Bale is on the way from Spurs to Real Madrid.
"Can Real Madrid, rich and all as they are, afford to buy and then pay that brilliant pair of players? If the answer is yes, then Madrid see them as their answer to the [Lionel] Messi and Neymar duo at Barcelona. If the answer is no, then Ronaldo will be allowed leave, and Manchester United is an obvious destination."
Irwin also believes that Manchester United will have to "move heaven and earth to sign Fabregas". Meanwhile, Barcelona have revealed that Manchester United are finally backing out.
"United want to get Cesc Fabregas before the transfer window closes and preferably before the season starts on Saturday week," Irwin said. "Also, they want to keep rather than sell Wayne Rooney.
"I'd say those two deals are the most important bits of business in the in-tray of the bosses at United. If those two players are at the club next season, then it would be a fine summer."

Check out these Krampus Masks from the recent festival! #krampus #creepmas #christmas
Christmas Nightmares is here to inject some horror into the holidays! We report on ways people are putting some spooky halloween flavor into the Christmas holidays. We want your submuissions as well so tell us how you are alternatively celebrating this holiday season!
Check out these Krampus Masks from the recent festival! #krampus #creepmas #christmas
New Trailer for the Remake of "Silent Night, Deadly Night"
The 2011 Episode of Christmas Nightmares is Here! Behold Christmas Nightmares 2: Home for the Holidays!
When it comes to Christmas albums there's a lot of bad to be had. Each year we have to endure artists towards the end of their commercially viable careers assault our ears with Christmas music that they've tried putting their own spin on. The worst offenders however are the novelty records such as the Chipmunks for that album with barking dogs howling Christmas carols (yes this exists).
In the early to Mid 90's HBO's Tales from the Crypt was pretty popular and there was a ton of marketing material featuring the show's host, The Crypt Keeper. Voiced by actor John Kassir, the Crypt Keeper introduced stories on the TV series using a litany of bad puns and gruesome props. In small doses wrapping each episode the Shtick was fun and harmless. Then someone had a bright idea of letting the Crypt Keeper do a Rap song. http://youtu.be/4Ory_dwqtHc Yeah it was the early nineties and for some reason this was considered a hip thing to do. The Simpsons even did a rap song on their album back in the day.
So instead of following that up with a Halloween album, the powers that be decided they should tackle a Christmas novelty album instead. "Have Yourself a Scary Little Christmas" features songs like "Deck the halls with Parts of Charlie", "We wish you'd bury the missus", "Twas the Fright Before Christmas", and of course there is a "Christmas Rap". When I was a kid and this album came out I thought it was kind of cool and funny but listening to it today I think it should be considered a crime against humanity. The bad puns get irritating about 4 minutes in and after that it becomes pretty tortuous.

The property I live on sold at trustee sale on September 11th, but the owners contested the sale because they had recently filed for bankruptcy, even though a judge had already ruled on that matter & said the sale could proceed. As a result of this delay tactic, the deed to the property didn't transfer to the new owners until October 19th. In the meantime, the previous owners filed an unlawful detainer against me on October 3rd. Did they have standing to bring such an action, or did they lose that right on September 11th? Also, even if I lose my case, can I not ask the judge for a "Relief from Forfeiture" citing that the hardship caused to me by having to move certainly is greater than the absence of hardship on their side, since they no longer have any interest in the property whatsoever?
Once the landlord lost title to the property, the landlord lost standing to recover possession of the property. Remember, the unlawful detainer action is all about who is entitled to possession of the rental unit. If title transferred on October 19, that's when your former landlord lost standing to sue you in unlawful detainer. Under these facts, you should win your case, but you are going to have to bring into a court a CERTIFIED copy of the most recent deed showing the landlord is no longer the owner.
Since the property did not transfer until October 19th (the 9/11 sale was stayed therefore the property did not transfer).
What was the basis of the UD action? Did you fail to pay rent? You will be responsible for rent until October 19th.
The Owners lost their right to commence an eviction when they filed for bankruptcy. At that point, the home became the property of the Bankruptcy Trustee, not the Owner. Once the lender was granted permission to continue the foreclosure and obtain a trustees Deed, they became the new owner. Most likely, they will begin an eviction process, but the former Owner has no standing as you correctly noted to file an eviction at this point, based on the facts you have presented.
