In the mid 1970s, an entire AFX slot car set, complete with two or more cars cost less than $40. The car's speed was modulated by a hand-held controller squeeze that trigger too much when your AFX car approached a curve and it could fly right off the track, something nearly all of us did for fun at one point. The small cars have electrical contacts that maintain a connection with the track's rails. These sets, made primarily by Aurora A/FX (Aurora Factory Experimental) and Tyco, used plastic track with two metal wire rails running along the surface (one for power and one for ground). Big ones occupied major real estate inside hobby shops, but it was the smaller size 1:64 scale slot cars and the tracks they ran on that provided years of fun for car-crazed kids at home. Slot car racing tracks were hugely popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Unopened models still sealed in cellophane command several hundred dollars. The aforementioned big rig models seem to be some of the most valuable. So Stompers on Ebay are listed with a Buy-It-Now price anywhere from $10 up to about $100 depending on rarity and condition. The bodywork got scratches the clips that held them on the chassis could break. Kids played with them outside in the dirt just to see how capable they were. The bodies of these toys were highly detailed and true to the real machines, which added to the fun. Stompers produced cool models including Subaru Brats, Dodge Power Wagons, Jeep Honcho pickup trucks and even larger Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks. Powered by a single AA battery, these little trucks cost about $10 new and had a four-wheel drive system that turned squishy paddle tires, one set for inside and one set for the outdoors. Launched in 1980, Stomper 4X4s by Schaper were aimed at young kids swept up in the off-road craze. ![]() ![]() The chat and video recording capabilities enable clients to monitor the technician’s actions.

![]() Good mood attributed to the hidden ice cream cone bad mood to the house burning down. The subliminal visuals were either positive (an ice cream cone) or negative (a house burning down). But unbeknownst to them, they were also shown different subliminal messages for 30 milliseconds in between their observations. From the participants’ standpoint, this sounded like an easy study. Participants were then asked whether the observed people were in a good or bad mood. ![]() Researchers showed participants images of people performing ordinary activities like, for example, a kid eating a sandwich. The silent power of subliminal messaging has been studied in laboratory settings. In other words, if it’s subtle enough for the brain to take even the slightest notice, then it has lost its subliminal charm. In the context of subliminal messaging, your response is based on the message your brain receives-not what your consciousness has interpreted. The response is any form of action that we do because of the message we receive. The message is any piece of information we take in that acts as a catalyst (or distraction) to the desired response. To explain, let’s break down subliminal messaging to two parts: the message, and the response. Given that definition, using the word subtle to describe subliminal messaging is problematic. This is faster than our consciousness can interpret, which means anything that falls below the threshold of our consciousness or unawareness is an opportunity to influence our behavior. Subliminal messaging, on the other hand, are visual cues that enter the brain faster than that given range. Our brain needs at least 30-50 milliseconds to process a piece of visual information. To understand the evolution of messaging and its influence on our consumer behavior, let’s go back in time and understand the neuroscience behind subliminal messaging. As you’ll see, while vision rules in the brain kingdom, our sense of hearing now deserves a throne. What has been proven lucrative in television, has now infiltrated music. Turns out, there’s more to this than meets the eye-figuratively and literally. The price tags on product placement alone reveal how potent its influence is in the consumer world.Īpart from money-making, another common thread between these product placements is that we can see them. In Back to the Future’s re-release in 2015, Marty McFly’s Nike shoes raised $4.7 million in an eBay auction. Grossing at $1.2 billion as one of America’s favorite films of all time, E.T. Product placement continues to leverage the power of exposure and subtle cues. While images of the scene went viral, many viewers thought it was the brand’s failed attempt at product placement. What seemed like an oversight from the production team, was a win for Starbucks. In the mysterious world of Game of Thrones, there appeared the unexpected Starbucks-like latte cup, hidden within goblets of wine. ![]() ![]() ![]() Also, glue fumes can be especially harmful to kids and pets, so be sure to keep them out of the room while you’re working, and try to ventilate the area with a fan or two. If you’re planning to use glue-in rather than peel-and-stick tiles, it’s advisable to wear a face mask to protect yourself from glue fumes.Thanks to the glue cushion, the tile will be more smooth and even. With glue-in tiles, the glue adds a cushion that’s a bit uneven and this cushion will cover seam separations and uneven patches. If you use peel-and-stick tiles, your subfloor needs to be extremely smooth and even.If you’re using stick tiles, be sure to get top quality tiles from a known maker. Inferior-grade stick tiles can loosen and curl up at the edges within weeks or months after installation, but this virtually never happens with glue-in tiles.With glue-in tiles, the glue takes longer to dry - sometimes up to a day - so you have plenty of time to reposition them if you want. If you want to pull the tile up and put it in another way, it might be difficult. For the most part, stick tiles are easier to install but peel-and-stick tiles can be more difficult to reposition because they adhere instantly.Here are some of the differences between stick tiles and glue-in tiles: You’ll also need to wipe off any glue residue between the seams. If you use glue-in tile, you’ll need to apply and spread glue on the subfloor first. Precautions to Take Before Installing Vinyl Tiles over Wood FlooringBefore starting the installation, it’s important to take a few precautions not just for your safety, but also to ensure that your installation will go smoothly - and will last. Wet wipes for cleaning your hands during installation.Wet cloths and mineral spirits (for cleaning glue residue on tiles).Tile glue (if you’re not using peel-and-stick tiles).Tools You’ll Need for Installing Vinyl Tiles With all of this in mind, here’s a look at how to install a vinyl floor over a wood floor. Likewise, many builders recommend covering the existing wood flooring with a one-quarter-inch plywood substrate and then laying the tiles on top of the plywood. For example, you’ll probably have to sand the wood in order to level any uneven seams or rough areas. Wood flooring can be an acceptable surface for vinyl tiles, but you might have to take steps to ensure that it’s as smooth and even as possible. When installing vinyl floor tiles or vinyl planks, it’s crucial to have a smooth, seamless surface for placing your tiles - otherwise, your floor will be uneven. However, if you’re working with existing wood flooring, then you’ll have to follow a slightly different method than you would with existing vinyl flooring or laminate flooring. As long as the subfloor is made of a solid material (not carpeting, for example), the biggest challenge isn’t whether or not the vinyl will adhere to the subfloor material but rather, whether or not the subfloor will be smooth enough. If you’re wondering how to install vinyl tiles over a wood floor - or if it’s even practical to do so - the good news is that vinyl flooring will generally adhere to most types of subflooring, including wood. ![]() Likewise, some houses - particularly older homes - were built with a hardwood subfloor that isn’t of a high enough quality (or is too worn) to refinish and expose. Some houses have wood flooring that is either inferior wood or is badly scratched or damaged. While many homeowners long for a hardwood floor, others are desperately seeking ways to cover theirs up. ![]() ![]() Reid also became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. ![]() He earned his Bachelor of Business Administration at Norfolk State College in 1968. ![]() He is the son of Augustine (née Wilkins) and William Lee Reid.

Once Chief did this, the engines began to overload and Spark could do nothing to stop them.
