Froot Loops Bloopers, Kellogg's Kids Cereal, 1/2015, by Mike Mozart of TheToyChannel and JeepersMedia on YouTube
The ad is from a Panasonic sales brochure. The Toot-A-Loop was available in the 4 colors shown in the United States. I've seen claims that the radio was produced in other colors for, but I'll rely on the Panasonic brochure for the Toot-A-Loop colors as well as those for the Panapet radios sold in the United States. I've also seen two-tone Panapets and Toot-A-Loops listed on e-Bay. These are probably a combination of different colored radios as the parts are easily switched.
The earliest newspaper advertising for the Panasonic Toot-A-Loop radio in the United States that I could find dates to 1972.

"....now is a Loop edible I wonder?"
Lots of rats to be seen enjoying the weekend's sunshine at RSPB Radipole Lake, but so nice to see Violets in bloom too; a very pretty sign of impending springtime, despite all the recent snow and cold weather!
This is my entry for the #5 - One word category in the 113 in 2013 Group.
Looper pasivo de dos canales.
Acá hay un video que preparé con las funciones principales: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLuFJyZ-bIg
Las caracterÃsticas:
-Looper pasivo true bypass, con LED cristalino azul para canal A y rojo para canal B.
-Alimentación mediante fuente de poder o baterÃa de 9v. El pedal puede funcionar sin alimentación, pues necesita energÃa sólo para encender los LEDs.
-Pintado con una técnica especial de acrÃlico y alcohol, en azul, rojo y dorado (el dorado se nota a contraluz).
Entre las funciones que permite, estarÃan:
-Intercambiar entre dos conjuntos de efectos con un solo golpe de pie, o cambiar entre una cadena de efectos y un afinador.
-Utilizar sólo un canal y dejar el otro como conexión directa para bypassear. En otras palabras, puedes tirar tu cadena completa de efectos por el canal A y dejar el B sin cables conectados. Asà es posible bypassear todo con un solo botón. Al dejar cualquiera de los canales sin cables automáticamente se conecta el Send y Return, asà que no es necesario colocar un cable para parchar.
-Usarlo como caja A/B. Esto sirve para usar cambiar entre dos instrumentos sin necesidad de andar desconectando cables. Sólo se conectan ambos instrumentos al Retorno de cada canal y la Salida va, obviamente, al amplificador (No recomiendo usar la función de caja A/B para intercambiar entre dos amplificadores, pues la señal del que no se está usando no se cancela, lo que puede generar ruidos).

Work continued through Saturday night and, as seen here on Sunday morning, is progressing in the area at and south of Tower 12 (Wabash/Van Buren junction). Ties and tracks are being laid where just 24 hours before the 'L' structure was bare. After a weekend of continuous work to renew track, trains from the South Side will resume service over these tracks, bringing thousands of people to and from downtown Monday.
The closed Waterloo Loop signal box between (left to right) the Down Relief line and Dock Street Branch at Level of Mendalgief in Newport. Wednesday 5th October 1988
Waterloo Loop signal box was a British Railways Western Region type 17 design fitted with a 67 lever Great Western Railway Company vertical tappet 5-bar frame that opened in connection with Stage 3 of the Newport Multiple Aspect Signalling Scheme on 27th November 1961 replacing an earlier signal box located a short distance to the north. Individual function switches were commissioned on 2nd December 1973 to control signals protecting Courtybella closed circuit television level crossing. The signal box closed on 17th March 1984 when signalling passed to Newport signal box

These locomotives are currently being withdrawn, while the loop has been removed and just the one track passes through.
This was a view from Skyline Loop trail that I hiked up at Mt Rainier last July. I am pretty excited to get back up there again. The view is simply amazing. In this photo you can also see Mt St Helens in the background.
Cygnus Loop is one of ILNP's Ultra Chrome polishes. This picture kind of captures the color shift but it's really a wider range than this shows.

Architecture
Today we are back in the Loop and at another structure on which several famous architects separately invested their time (like Monadnock, Day 13). The Rookery was built in 1888 and stands at 209 S. LaSalle, near the head of the LaSalle Street Canyon created by the Board of Trade (and makes up my favorite stretch of street in the city. Extended sidebar here: if you’re in the area, the absolute greatest is to stand in the middle of LaSalle just north of Washington and stare south – on a Sunday at like 7:30am, there’s nobody around. It makes me feel like I can fly… maybe that’s why so much of the Batman movies were filmed on this stretch. Okay, back to the business at hand). The Rookery was built by the adored pair of Burnham and Root. Like Mies with his Crown Hall, the duo appear to have spent a bit of extra time on the structure, as it was to become their future home. As such, they used primary LEED building techniques, leaving the entire center of the building open to allow more open space, freer movement of air, and the use of natural lighting (okay, there was no LEED, but it’s funny how close they came to today’s ideal principals of Green Development – because they were designing with themselves in mind?).
According to legend, the Rookery was named for the temporary City Hall that occupied the site after the Chicago Fire. Akin to the City’s nickname of the Windy City (not anything to do with weather), the building was called as such not just for the pigeons and birds that roosted in the old building, but also for the residence of the rooks (shady politicians). The fact that the structure was to be on city land may have been a problem, but part of the conglomerate assembled to complete the structure included local real estate man, Owen Aldis. Mr. Aldis happened to be an old family friend of Carter Harrison, the current mayor (and eventual 5-time mayor) of the city. Against all odds, the process reportedly moved swimmingly through the city and even more surprisingly, concluded with a 99 year lease to the Rookery’s owners for a non-increasing fee of $35,000 annually (and the city was on the hook for state property taxes). Not bad when the same amount 100 years later would have cost about $400,000 once inflation is thrown into the mix. Unique for the time, the building was created entirely for commercial lease space and contained around 600 offices.
Burnham and Root’s building is supported with steel columns on the first two floors, which then transition to load-bearing masonry above (another transition structure like the Monadnock). As a geotechnical engineer myself, of particular interest to me is Root’s innovative design for the support of the structure. Deep foundations hadn’t yet been developed, so a creative method had to be invented to support such a massive and heavy structure on Chicago’s 50 foot thick layer of soft clay. Root’s incredible mind arrived at a solution called a grillage foundation. His idea was to use criss-crossing steel rails and beams and then encase them in a massive block of concrete. This way the loads would be distributed over a large area - today a very similar method is still being used and is called a mat foundation.
When the Rookery was set to open in 1888, there weren’t many potential tenants would consider leasing space so high into the sky. As a marketing tool (and also most likely for the views and low rents) Burnham and Root moved their offices to the 11th floor of the building. Their presence was a sign of confidence in their design and helped allay fears of potential clients, but it also provided unobstructed views of the swelling city to the men.
By 1905, the owners had decided that the ornate ironwork in the lobby had gone out of style. In order to bring it up to date, they hired another successful Chicago architect who had been in residence in the Rookery: Frank Lloyd Wright. Looking at the lobby, Wright’s influence isn’t plainly evident – he wanted to maintain general agreement with Root’s intentions for the space. He removed much of the ironwork and replaced it with gold-inlaid white marble using Root’s designs from elsewhere in the building to complete the detailing. It was to this state that the building was restored in the early 1990s. There had been one other major rework of the building in the 1930s to an Art Deco aesthetic, and much of this was reversed and the building was restored to the appearance it had in 1910. The lobby is the only surviving urban work by Wright.
In order to get most of these shots (and some of the stories), we took a tour of the building with the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust. The tour was only ten bucks and was wonderful – I definitely recommend it (here: gowright.org/rookery.html).
