Rogien explains, “The outfits do work as a foursome, but there’s also tension in the way they all look together. And Jessa is in her ‘I don’t give a f**k’ look that’s still this great ‘90s dress.” The differences in clothing choice is meant to reflect the sad state of their friendship. Marnie is in one of her classic long maxi dresses. Hannah shows up in the thing you’re absolutely not supposed to show up in, which is your maternity overalls and keds. It’s the thing you’re supposed to wear to your engagement party. When crafting their looks, GIRLS costume designer Jenn Rogien says, “For the first time, their individual looks were more important to me than creating harmony between the four of them.” Above all else, “It was important that each girl’s looks is quintessentially her own.” As Rogien describes it: “Shosh is in this very current, fashion conscious dress. Even though there was a lot of controversy swirling around the show all the time the show itself was very calm and fun… I hope we’ve shown how some people evolve, and some people evolve less.” - Judd Apatow, GIRLS Executive ProducerĮpisode 9 is the first (and last) time Hannah, Marnie, Jessa and Shoshanna appear together in Season 6. And I think I’m just going to miss her presence in my life.” - Zosia Mamet, “Shoshanna Shapiro” But I’m going to miss the fact that once the show goes to bed she goes to bed and she’s no longer a part of my life. Take the full journey and wander your way from India Street to the Hamptons with this fun map of iconic GIRLS locations. She’s really the only part I’ve ever played that I’ve thought of as her own entity and I think it’s probably because I’ve spent so many years playing the same part. “I think I’m going to miss her, more than I’m going to miss playing her, if that makes sense. “I’m going to miss getting to explore her more and refine it, and change her and watch her change.” - Jemima Kirke, “Jessa Johansson” It’s a great Marnie season, I’m really happy about it.” - Allison Williams, “Marnie Michaels” I think more people than we realize can relate to what she goes through, I just encourage people to feel the love. “As cheesy as it sounds, it’s like the family that we’ve created on this show is so close knit, and it’s so emotional to say goodbye to spending every single day together and creating new adventures for these characters.” - Lena Dunham, “Hannah Horvath” We use Letters and Sounds to teach phonics.

I had decided to order me a new 1978 Thunderbird just like I wanted. After much persistence from my sister’s mother-in-law to buy my LTD, I sold it to her a few days after Christmas 1977. But my mission was to save a little money for a nice down payment along with the money from my LTD. One salesman tried to talk me into an LTD II, saying they were basically the same car, but I liked the styling of the Thunderbird so much better. I started looking for a Thunderbird but they were hard to find since they were selling so well. I graduated college in May 1977 and went to work immediately. When the new, smaller Thunderbirds came out for 1977, I had my sights on one. Although I was driving a pretty decent 1971 Ford LTD my father had bought new when I was in high school, I couldn’t wait to get my own car. It’s a fun read and a great success story, so you can find it below in Bill’s own words.īillO – Even during my last couple of years of college, I was dreaming of what new car I would buy when I graduated in 1977. To my surprise, he sent over an email right away with not just the story of his T-Bird, but the story of how he became a fan of the late 70’s Thunderbird. He’s now the proud owner of said T-Bird, so I asked him if he would send us more photos and information on his find.

GREAT CONDITION 1978 FORD THUNDER BIRD With 37K MILE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Clean title nice condition. 1978 Ford Thunderbird COUPE Additional Info: This so-called Siberian Intervention made Japan join the USA, Canada, Britain, China, Italy and the Czechs in sending troops there. In truth, it was an allied intervention to try and hinder the Bolsheviks from winning the Revolution. Her main foes were the Germans in China, who had cheekily settled there after bullying Japan into giving up territories she had won in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894/95.Īs a matter of fact, Japan’s main battle of WW1 for the German fortress in Tsingtao already ended in November 1914, before the Germans got their M16 helmets or their use of gas as a breakthrough weapon for the stalemate in the European trenches.īut in summer of 1918, Japan was asked by the USA to join the allied expedition into Siberia under the pretence of rescuing the Czech Legion of 50 thousand trapped there. Thus unlike the Western nations engaged in WW1, Japan did not really experience war in the trenches that gave birth to the steel helmet and gas mask. The Japanese were part of WW1 on the Allied side, but as its ambitions were strictly limited to Asia, she refused to be drawn into the “War in Europe (欧州戦争)” as WW1 was known in Japan at the time. However, unlike in European countries, all this happened only after WW1 for Japan. So it was that together they made the wear of visor caps in battle impractical and gave rise to the development of the field cap. Such new developments often have further knock-on effects on other items as well. They were both byproducts of WW1 and had to be worn together therefore they were developed together to be compatible. That is because gas masks and helmets were inseparable in its early development. I mentioned that I wrote this initially together with the helmet story. But let’s keep that 78-year old secret for another 20 minutes or so and begin our story. Why? There is a secret behind this paradox, which I will be revealing for the first time in the history of Japanese militaria collecting. Yet Ramon’s Type 87 masks are all in better shape than the typical WW2 examples. But trying to open the hardened cookies unfortunately only brings bad fortune, which is how that kind of cookie always crumbles. Japanese gas masks are notorious for deteriorating into something that looks more like a Chinese fortune cookie than a mask. Ramon gets the history behind the rare masks in his collection and I get the pictures I needed, but the readers get both for free, making it a Win-Win-Win situation. So this is my first collaboration article. Ramon Padilla in Spain is a collector of Japanese gas masks and I was excited to see that his collection featured some of the early gas masks that I needed to complete what I set out to do 6 years ago. But after 6 years, someone did finally fish that morsel out and used the article on his gas mask site. So I only published a small section of it in a forum just for the sake of getting something out and shelved the rest.Īs expected, the article published really didn’t receive attention and just sank to the bottom of the pit full of the usual questions “What is it that I bought?” or “How much is it worth?”. Without any visuals to bring things to life, reading about gas masks can be quite boring. This story was originally started 6 years ago at the same time I wrote my helmet story, but midway in the writing I stopped, because I realized I was badly missing photos and illustrations for the various types of early model gas masks I was writing about. It is now time to release several best kept wartime secrets, so please don't interrupt until I say "The End". I needed concentration to finish this work. I have been absent for the last few days from the forum with good reason. The Evolution of the Japanese Army Gas Mask (1918-1945) It makes for a fun interaction between him and Supes, who seems less than tolerant of the scarlet speedster. Schlatter’s Flash is over-confident, funny, and full of himself. Joining the voice cast this time around, besides Ferrer is Carl Lumbly as the Mayor, and Marion Ross as General Richter. With an airdate of 13 September 1997, Superman welcomes the Flash/Wally West (Charlie Schlatter) to the animated world, as the two compete in a charity race around the world.īut things won’t go smoothly, it seems the Weather Wizard (Miguel Ferrer) is going to cause a problem or two. Speed Demons introduces another hero to the animated DC Universe. How will they stop it? This one has a nice sci-fi cinema of the 50s feel to it with the army called out to take on a giant menace. No where near as much as Lex Luthor (Clancy Brown) seems to be, but he is willing to sacrifice both Superman and the creature if it saves the Earth.Īnd maybe he was right when it comes to the creature! He and Superman both go after the beast before it cause a threat to the planet, Supes causes it to fall into an ocean, but the creature quickly makes its way ashore, and begins to rampage. I like that not everyone in the series so far thinks that Superman is the bee’s knees, Hardcastle seems particularly xenophobic. General Hardcastle (Charles Napier) is aboard a shuttle moving to destroy the asteroid which threatens the Earth in an Armageddon-type situation, but they are stunned to find the creature bound to the far side of the space jetsam. Superman encounters a giant creature (Frank Welker) bound to an asteroid in space, when it breaks loose it causes all manner of problems for the Man of Steel. This episode aired on 12 September, 1997, and features another great voice cast joining Daly’s Superman, and Dana Delaney’s Lois Lane. Superman (Tim Daly) finds more trouble in outer space this week as he encounters The Prometheon.

Contrary to what some believe, Sleep No More is not a haunted attraction, but you might experience intense psychological situations. You don’t like dark spaces or prefer to sit in a traditional theater and watch a show. You aren’t into Macbeth, which is the basis of part of the story in Sleep No More, don’t want to move a lot, or don’t like dance or shows with no dialogue. If you’re fortunate, you might get an extensive one-on-one with the actors!

The only caveat I would offer is to attend Sleep No More fully rested: You need your wits about you. A Shakespearean can walk about checking off visual allusions to the classic tragedy the less lettered can just revel in the freaky haunted-house vibe. I chose the latter, discovering a room lined with empty hospital beds a leafless wood in which a nurse inside a thatched cottage nervously checks her pocket watch an office full of apothecary vials and powders and the ballroom, forested with pine trees screwed to rolling platforms (that would be Birnam Wood).

It shouldn't be possible to have a thriving city with only residential buildings and service buildings.ġ. It's bad enough that citizens don't even have to travel to work, let alone get there on time or even have a job, but for them to be completely happy with no commercial buildings to shop in, or even parks to relax in, it's really concerning. I think this is an issue that really needs to be addressed. So with this, I have a few questions with absolutely no industry or commercial stores in this city, where is the money coming from? Why are citizens just fine with being unemployed, or having no places to shop? Where is the economy? Also, even when the residential demand was at zero for several in-game years, people were still moving in. Unemployment decreased to 83%, but that is likely due to the jobs the school buildings provide. Almost all buildings leveled up to level 3. Happiness increased slightly and crime stayed roughly the same. Here, the population has almost doubled, and my income skyrocketed. |
