![]() The faster the cooking, the less it was going to feel like real cooking, and the greater the potential for guilt on the part of the homemaker. "That's how speedy the fixing can be when the hub of your meal is delicious canned meat." The five menus included several recipes of a type that would become legendary in the annals of packaged-food cuisine, including "Twenty Minute Roast" - wedges of Spam glazed with orange marmalade –- and a pan of Vienna sausages broiled with canned peaches, which this story identified as a "Harvest Luncheon."īut the insistent rhetoric of high-speed cookery had to be handled with care. "It's just 1-2-3, and dinner's on the table," exclaimed a story in Better Homes & Gardens. "When baby wants attention and daddy wants dinner, your best friend is quick-quick Minute Rice!" Soon no excuse at all was needed, and stories simply promised "Hot breads-in a jiffy!" "Quick fix desserts!" "Suppers that beat the clock!" Here was one claim that manufacturers could stand behind and when it came to some foods, this was probably the sole claim that could be made with any credibility. "Baby fussing? Dinner to get?" inquired an ad in 1953. In the pages of Forecast and other magazines, it wasn't the arrival of sudden company that threw a household into emergency status -ordinary life was sufficient. "I, in company with innumerable other women, feel the pressing need of entertaining my friends well but with a minimum of time and energy spent in preparation." Her solution was to use a can of baby food as a lasagna ingredient. "In this fast-moving era, everyone is concerned with saving time," emphasized a teacher who was submitting her favorite recipe to Forecast, the home economics magazine. According to Kellogg, what mothers really liked about the new Corn Pops was that the cereal was presweetened, a boon they found to be a great time-saver. Not even cold cereal got to the table fast enough. ![]() "If you're a typical modern housewife, you want to do your cooking as fast as possible," wrote a columnist at Household magazine who was promoting instant coffee and canned onion soup. Advertisements and stories plowed across the media reminding readers again and again how busy they were, how frantic their days, how desperately they needed products and recipes for quick meals. Novice cooks were always advised to keep a well-stocked pantry in case visitors dropped by.īut during the postwar era, time became an obsession of the food industry and eventually of American homemakers as a manufactured sense of panic began to pervade even day-to-day cooking. ![]() In its classic formulation, speed was associated with emergencies, and emergencies generally amounted to unexpected guests. Homemakers had always valued recipes for dishes that could be prepared with dispatch, and the concept of saving time by using this product or that recipe had been a familiar theme in food writing and advertising for decades. …At the heart of the industry's new definition of cooking was a ticking clock. ![]() Read an excerpt from Shapiro's book below: She discusses her history of packaged food with NPR's Melissa Block, host of All Things Considered. Shapiro says the '50s food industry tried to convince American women that they didn't enjoy cooking or have time to do it - and that they'd be better off turning to a box or can. She describes how some foods developed for soldiers during World War II were successfully transplanted into the home, while others died unappetizing deaths: Canned peaches survived, but the canned deep-fried hamburger, thankfully, did not. ![]() In her new book, Something from the Oven, author Laura Shapiro deconstructs food from the '50s - and the industry that foisted it on American households. Think 1950s food and you might conjure up Jell-O salads with a riot of add-ons or soda pop put to unnatural uses.

Thankfully, many of our early concerns were quickly corrected, either by Grand Power itself, or aftermarket parts if you acquire an early model. Find out why in our original review of the Grand Power Stribog. The crisp, clean trigger almost defines its place in the 9mm carbine ecosystem. The Stribog stands out, not only for its asking price but because it gets so many of the important components right. Old-school TLR weaponlights gives just enough stand-off to avoid being hit by the charging handle. The roller-delayed A3 model had twisted lines out of the chute with cycling, but, like earlier problems, they were quick to open up a repair and replacement program. The gen 1 magazines had trouble with the feed lips and longevity, and Grand Power quickly remedied this problem by reinforcing them. While the Grand Power Stribog was not without problems, each of them has been addressed in one fashion or another. Grand Power quickly recognized that this was a must, and included the finger-saving update in the SP A2 (sometimes referred to as the A1 Gen 2), only to tease the world with the A3 which sports a roller-delay action. Starting at around $700 (in pre-COVID pricing), complete with a simple but ever-reliable direct blowback action, and AR-15 like controls, the surprise of the Slovakian 9mm carbine is that it rapidly gained aftermarket support, allowing for multiple brace options and even replacement components to make the charging handle non-reciprocating. The Stribog from Grand Power snuck up on the world when they released the SP9 A1. This opens up the GHM9 up for a multitude of uses and configurations, whether for super-short GHM9 compact, or a full-length barrel and rail for competitions, or the in-between for the tactical aesthetic. If you keep a loaded firearm where a child obtains and improperly uses it, you may be fined or sent to prison.The new generation added more forend options, as the integrally suppressed 4.3-inch barrel effectively vents the gas quick enough to turn supersonic 9mm rounds into subsonic, further utilizing the 10-inch can. Prevent child access by always keeping guns locked away and unloaded when not in use. Children are attracted to and can operate firearms that can cause severe injuries or death. If there is anything you do not understand, seek advice from someone qualified in safe handling of firearms. For safety: before handling a firearm read, understand and follow instructions in the manual provided with firearm. You risk injury or death by mishandling firearms.

Springfield Armory® Provides the following general warning: The official name of Proposition 65 is the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. ![]() Proposition 65 became law in November 1986, when California voters approved it by a 63-37 percent margin. This list, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 900 chemicals since it was first published in 1987.

The fact that we don’t have sex happen in this episode while the previous one did also adds to the step down level this episode has as well. That is the flaw we have had with these shows and that is one girl is usually so much better than the other that you end up not caring about any episodes focused on the other girl instead of the one you like as a result. I don’t really care for Ayane and like Kotone more so that probably doesn’t help either. ![]() The episode itself is 30 seconds shorter but I think the real issue is that not much really happened in this episode resulting in it feeling much shorter than the first besides just the shorter runtime. This episode just felt lacking in something compared to the previous. So instead he decides to just continue on with what he was doing.Īfter finishing they see Kotone start to roll over and think she might be awake only to see she isn’t and they are still safe as the episode ends. He knows he can’t tell her the truth and how he thought she was Kotone otherwise she would know what happened in the bathroom. He then pulls away her hood to see he messed up and it was really Ayane he was touching and not Kotone who is still asleep. Thinking about that and his time with Kotone leads to him getting hard again and he sees Kotone sleeping and decides he will try something with her.Īfter attempting some stuff he realizes she is awake and is pushing him away. Kazushi is thinking about how he and Kotone were almost caught by Ayane as she started to enter the bathroom before turning around to leave again. The all ages version has them in bikinis. The lack of an actual sex scene in this and just intercrural probably has something to do with this feeling like a downgrade. This time the episode is focused on Ayane and overall feels like a drop compared to the greatness of the previous episode. So I guess that means each week won’t be a consistent amount of extra content in the r18 version. This episode only has around a minute and a half extra time compared to last week’s 2 minutes. ![]() ![]() ![]() please contact the web administrator by email at or by phone at 90 UA is committed to.

Upgrades included features such as the 'Palm Command Control System', smooth and soft operation modes, ECMV controlled transmission, ECMV controlled transmission steering clutches/brakes, preset travel speed selection function and auto-shift down function. They wore a new trade dress however most of the upgrades were electronic. These were produced in both SR 'Super Ripper and SD 'Super Dozer' configurations. In 2001 the D575A-3 machines were introduced. These models were produced between the years of 19 and 41 machines were built. The first series of D575A bulldozers were the D575A-2 machines. The updated models, the D575A-3 and D575A-3SD Super Dozer were introduced in 2001. ![]() The first D575A-2 SD Super Dozer was purchased and placed into service by the Princess Beverly Coal Co. ![]() The D575A-2 SR Super Ripper was joined by the D575A-2 SD Super Dozer in 1995. The first machine was built up by Anderson Equipment Company and then sold to American Asphalt and Paving Company where it initially worked in Las Vegas. The first production machine, delivered in 1992, was initially trialed in PA where the prototypes tested. Prototype machines are also believed to have been tested at the Harrison Coal and Reclamation Park. A successor to the D555A prototype, the D575A-2 SR Super Ripper, began field testing in North America in 1989 by the Cooney Brothers Coal Company in PA where over 1000 hours were logged. Due to economic conditions at the time, development was stalled for much of the 1980s. Komatsu first showed a 1,000 horsepower (750 kW) bulldozer prototype, the D555A, to the public at the Conexpo equipment exhibition in Houston, Texas in 1981.

I especially loved Sebastian's dark and low voice. Just beautiful!! Besides the glorious musical score, this anime exhibits very good character voices. It's haunting, lyrical, and so emotion-filled. The opening and ending themes fit the anime to a tee the 2nd ending, Lacrimosa by Kalafina, especially fits the ominous ending the anime is barreling towards when this ending comes in. It added something really unique to an already beautiful track of music. There was use throughout the anime of a really fast beat chanting/droning thing used towards some combat and many plot-revealing scenes that I found particularly innovative and unusual. ![]() ![]() It's full of fast consistent beats for the fighting, chants and drones for the dark, plot-filled moments, sad female-filled melodies for the gut-wrenchingly sad parts, and a soft operatic finish for the final anime finale. Every single piece of music adds to the atmosphere of this anime and leaves a person breathless. This is the crowning glory in my opinion. But do be warned I wouldn't let kids watch this. Not that it's gratuitous, every scene with it almost requires it and the blood adds to the atmosphere. You will not be disappointed here! Just a slight warning, though, this anime doesn't shirk from blood. It almost seemed to reflect character emotions and fates/destinies as well as set the mood for the anime. Besides just the lighting, the art conveyed the atmosphere so much. If they were experiencing light-hearted birthday parties or servant antics, colors were bright, vibrant, and day-filled. If the characters were experiencing a dark and horrific scene, shadows and reds played big parts. I don't see that a lot in anime and found it very appropriate for this title. An aspect I noticed a lot in this anime was lighting. From the fight scenes to humorous antics to zany parties to heart-wrenching death scenes, absolutely everything here is flows so smoothly and sweetly. BEAUTIFUL!!!! The animation flows so gorgeously in this anime. If everything had been addressed here, this would have been a DEFINITE perfect 10.Ī simple word here. One detail that they didn't address did leave me a bit peeved, but my mind made a connection with another story aspect that I could guess was the answer. While these details didn't sour the complete story for me (hence the 9), they might sour it for someone else. After watching the ending, I was left with some unanswered questions regarding some of the details here. Now that I've mentioned the good, let's talk about why I couldn't give this aspect a perfect 10. I never know what I'm going to see when watching something like this. ![]() For me, that's one of the best aspects of this story is those little plot twists. I was left gasping like fish more than once here. You'll also need to be paying close attention to all the plot twists! These little suckers come out of NOWHERE and twist the story into a completely different direction that one would expect. This is a thinking anime that touches on a ton of dark and deep issues. I wouldn't recommend this show if you're just looking for some simple anime that would kill an afternoon. I'll definitely have to do some re-watching to get all the little nuances and plot points down. There's just so much depth, and it's so cerebral. The story of this show is something else. I'm sad to see it end 'cause I want more of this world, but, on the other hand, I'm glad it's got a definitive ending and isn't really leaving us cliff-hanging. those there, though, this anime is one of the best things I've seen in a while, even better than Hikaru no Go which had be so wrapped up spring break. This would be my first review to be an absolute 10 in score if there weren't just a few unanswered questions and assumed understanding after everything was said and done. It's got beautiful and THICK plot, hidden meanings, a GORGEOUS musical score, wonderful and zany characters, and enough emotional hitting power to make me keep a tissue box handy for those sad and happy tears. Holy flippin' A!!! Where to even begin with this anime?! There is so much here that I look for in an anime I even added it to my favorites list before I was even done watching. ![]() ![]() I guess the obvious thing would be to make more of the character creation options at the start and have this effect what your starting deck and enemies are - something like the HoF1 Warlords expansion - as in HoF2 these seem to be purely cosmetic (I was convinced for a long time that amulet was going to have some in-game significance.) So you're a ancient gladiator or a space bounty hunter or a wild west gunslinger or whatever and each starting position has it's own advantages and disadvantages - there'd still be set challenges, but it'd be a little like the first Mega Man game where you can attempt to work through them in any order.īe a hell of a lot of work though, and I still think there's plenty of growing room for HoF2. A lot of the fun of playing that deck was to try to get into the 'Timescape' to get a bunch of ridiculous SF weaponry and mutations and then get back onto the Tolkienesque main quest board. As well as the official Games Workshop stock decks and expansions, he and his brother had handmade additional cards and encounters stolen from comics like 2000AD and films like 'Terminator' and 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'. HoF reminds me of the battered old copy of the 1st edition Games Workshop 'Talisman' that one of my old housemates had owned since he was small. That's about the only way I can see them improving the format. >The developer Morgan wrote an article about how he wanted a HoF sequel to be if one ever was made and mentioned different eras such as cowboys, space and whatnot. Not sure how everyone else feels, but Hand of Fate 3 would be an instant buy for me. If anything, the series should keep going assuming you guys still got good material to use. The game could delve deep into his backstory and show us his rise to power as the dealer, or, we could play as another adventurer, of course, which would also be cool. I was thinking that perhaps the third game could have us play as Valenos (not sure how that would work gameplay and combat wise but the idea sounds interesting). If the series ended here, it would definitely end on a good note, but there is still so much untapped potential. The story so far has been riveting (whoever does the descriptions and all that is really an immersive writer) and I'd love to see it continue if ideas aren't running short. ![]() I love the unique concept behind the two games as well as the lore and the mystical universe it's set in.
