Idris elba james bond 0079/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The scene was set at the end of Spectre for Daniel Craig to ride off into the sunset, and for a new Bond to earn their license to kill. A Netflix subscription is all that’s required should you want to test the waters with Elba’s own longterm career plan in this twisted thriller.Let’s be honest, we should already know who will be the next James Bond by now. ![]() That statement only stands to become even more appropriate if the film franchise Luther: The Fallen Sun is hoping to start takes off. John Luther doesn’t have to play by the same rules James Bond does, and Elba is the person to continue that adventure.Īs the search for James Bond’s future continues, Idris Elba’s present is pretty secure in the light of the career choices he's made in recent past. The big difference being that through his part in creator Neil Cross’s franchise, Idris Elba would be doing it his way. Luther’s potential “job offer” with those secretive, unseen parties that came calling in his first cinematic adventure has “Secret Agent Elba” written all over it. Which, if you recall the ending to Luther: The Fallen Sun, already seems to have filled the void in a very similar fashion. Dedicating himself to the role that he’s played throughout five seasons on TV, and in his recent Netflix film, Elba has shown his hand and it’s not shaken or stirred. When he removed himself from the running for James Bond, Idris Elba flat out said that he is John Luther. (Image credit: Netflix) Idris Elba Already Has His Own Bond-Style Franchise With Luther Which leads to the final reason the Luther actor is probably better off without having to worry about Ian Fleming’s legendary creation in his rotation. If the character of James Bond wasn’t already enough of a limitation for a potential Idris Elba adventure, then having a more restrictive schedule would be even more of a challenge. It’s enough to wonder how much latitude our new Commander would have over taking roles outside of the franchise, which was something that Daniel Craig certainly had no problem doing. Part of that plan has included the call to cast a “thirty-something” actors as James Bond, which is more than likely part of a play to score more movies out of the next lucky 007. The folks at EON Productions seem to recognize that fact for themselves, as a longterm Bond distribution strategy seems to be in play. While it’s certainly more movies than George Lazenby or Timothy Dalton ever got, Sir Roger Moore racked up seven films in a span of time that was three years shorter. (Image credit: Warner Bros.) Current Plans For 007 Are Aiming Towards A Long Term Strategyĭaniel Craig’s James Bond tenure spanned 15 years, but only yielded five movies as a result. However, there are plenty of other opportunities out there that would benefit from Idris Elba’s star status and wouldn’t limit him to what’s more than likely going to become a more regimented franchise. Some might say that makes him even more qualified for the role, as Daniel Craig had a complicated relationship with the role. Playing Heimdall for the MCU saw Elba always eager to reprise the role, but also unafraid to share his complaints about the Marvel experience, particularly Thor: The Dark World. Idris Elba has also had past experience with a role that somewhat kept him in a specific lane. Case in point: Elba wouldn’t be able to wear a standard tuxedo in any other movie, much as Pierce Brosnan showed with a wardrobe choice in The Thomas Crown Affair remake. There are also smaller details that Idris Elba would have to adhere to if he was playing 007, and they can be interesting to navigate. Everyone knows that James Bond is a role that comes with not only certain expectations, but also limitations in what the character is allowed to do. ![]()

Maple street diner9/18/2023 ![]() ![]() It opened in San Marco in 2012 and, in addiition to the four locations in Jacksonville, it has one in Tallahassee and another in Chattanooga, Tenn.Ī seventh location is scheduled to open Dec. Maple Street has already been growing quickly. I continue to be shocked by the people I meet who have never heard of Maple Street." "So I don't think it will anything close to doubled," he said. And "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" is kind of their signature show. "But we have four stores in Jacksonville, rather than one. "I anticipate some bump and I've told the crew they need to be prepared," Moore said. That was the beginning of Metro Diner's growth, which had a single restaurant in 2010 but opened its eighth location Monday in Gainesville. Jacksonville's Metro Diner's business more than doubled after it was featured on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" in 2010. A Food Network spokeswoman said Monday that she couldn't give any details, either about when Freitag visited the restaurant or when the show would air.īut the restaurant could see a big impact from the show. Moore wasn't given an air date, only that the segment would run in November or December. ![]() A release was posted on the door warned that anyone who came in the restaurant could end up on TV. The crew filmed the dishes being made and customers eating. Its focus was on The Squawking Goat, a biscuit with fried chicken breast, fried goat cheese medallion and house-made pepper jelly and Smokey Mountain Mac-N-Cheese. Moore said he was told that Amanda Freitag, a regular on several of the network's shows, had stopped at Maple Street and apparently liked what she ate.įreitag was not there for the filming, but the crew spent seven hours in the restaurant. Kim presented us a bill of $10.for a tip for her girls.We dug deep in our pockets and got considerably more that that for them!

Hey, KIM, We'll be back.The Food Network has turned its national eye on Jacksonville's Maple Street Biscuit Co.Ĭo-founder Scott Moore said the network was in the Murray Hill location last week to film a segment for its "Guilty Pleasures" show, which the network describes as 'Your favorite Food Network stars reveal their best-kept, most-intimate, guilty-pleasure secrets for the first time ever!

We asked if the fried chicken was already cooked and she assured us it was, so we ordered it.We ordered several side vegetables (our weakness!) and they brought all the food we had ordered plus a few samples of things we had NOT ordered.

The Bastion Aspect makes it incredibly easy to gain overshields on command by using your Barricade. Most sources of Void Overshield involve using your melee or class ability. Unlike the other two Void buffs, it is impossible for Hunters and Warlocks to get Void Overshields solely through subclass features, making this a buff that's truly unique to the Sentinel's kit. Gaining another overshield type will override your Void Overshield, removing it entirely. Overshields obtained from mods or Stasis' Whisper of Rime Fragment do not grant bonus DR in PvE. It is the Sentinel Titan's specialty.Īs the name suggests, not all overshields count as Void Overshields. PvP overshields grant no damage resistance, only extra HP. In PvE, your Void Overshield grants 50% damage resistance against combatants, stacking multiplicatively with other DR sources. Void Overshield acts as a second health bar, granting up to 45 extra HP while providing a small amount of damage resistance. ![]() As with PvE, offensive actions remove invisibility. This ping lasts for around a second before you vanish from the radar again. You cannot change this through any Aspects of Fragments. While invisible, you will ping the enemy's radar once every five seconds. In PvP, Invisibility makes you much harder to see and hides you from enemy radar. There also seems to be a slight delay before enemies drop aggro when you become invisible. Some enemies-notably Hive Shriekers-can see through invisibility and shoot you. Bear in mind that Invisibility is not invincibility you can still take damage while invisible. It serves as the Nightstalker's main defensive property and makes recovering your HP mid-gunfight far easier. In PvE, becoming invisible will cause enemies to stop shooting you, drawing their attention to your allies instead. It is the Nightstalker Hunter's specialty. Most Invisibility sources last for five seconds by default. With that said, there is a short grace period upon becoming invisible where actions won't decloak you, allowing you to throw a quick grenade or shoot a single bullet. Performing any offensive action-shooting, punching a target, throwing grenades, or using your Super-will remove this buff. Invisibility makes your Guardian harder to see, preventing enemies from shooting you in PvE while hiding you from enemy radar in PvP. Use certain Void Fragments to spawn Void Breaches. Afflicted combatants have difficulty firing accurately.Ī well of Void energy that grants class ability energy when grabbed. The target takes increased damage and has their movement speed slowed. You are armored with a protective barrier of Void Light. The target is afflicted with unstable Void energy and will explode upon taking additional damage. Performing offensive actions will end Invisibility. You vanish from sight and do not appear on radar. Afflicted combatants cannot fire their weapons. The target is taken out of any active abilities and cannot activate any abilities or movement modes while Suppression persists.

The air inside the module was also vented into Earth's atmosphere as the craft reentered, ensuring that the crew wouldn't suffer carbon dioxide poisoning.īut NASA also knew that the risk of the Apollo 11 astronauts bringing home a space plague was extremely low. For example, the Apollo spacecraft hadn't been designed to prevent potential lunar contaminants from being exposed to Earth's environment once it splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, the capsule's cabin had to be fully opened in order to let astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins out. What's more, Degroot's work shows that NASA knew that its quarantine protocol was probably inadequate. This quarantine would have been largely useless at containing lunar microbes, new research finds. ![]() The fourth, Maia Weinstock's "Women of NASA" minifigure collection, is expected for release by the end of the year or in early 2018.The three Apollo 11 astronauts peer out of a window in their mobile quarantine unit to greet President Richard Nixon. LEGO previously sold sets based on Daisuke Okubo's model of Japan's Hayabusa asteroid probe and Stephen Pakbaz's replica of NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover in 20, respectively. The new Saturn V set is the third out of four space exploration-themed projects to be chosen from the LEGO Ideas website for production to date. The 178-piece set included the booster, a lunar module, Apollo command module and moon rover. The first, the "Saturn V Moon Mission," was released in 2003 as part of a series of space-themed models co-branded with the Discovery Channel. ![]() The NASA Apollo Saturn V is the second LEGO set to offer a version of the iconic moon rocket. Six missions landed men on the moon and one deployed the United States' first space station, Skylab. In total, NASA launched 13 Saturn V rockets between 19. The first crewed launch, Apollo 8 in December 1968, sent the first astronauts to orbit the moon. The Apollo 4 mission did not fly astronauts, but it did offer the first "all-up" test flight for the rocket. Recommended for LEGO fans 14 years of age or older, the NASA Apollo Saturn V set will go on sale just five months before the 50th anniversary of the first Saturn V launch in November 1967. The set includes three microfigures, representing the three-person Apollo crew. The spacesuited microfigures - tiny, less-articulated, peg-like versions of LEGO's minifigures - are not only to scale with the lunar lander, but also to the Saturn V, such that they provide a real sense of the immense size of the 363-foot (110 m) launch vehicle. Similarly, a blue ocean surface is provided to display the command module (crew capsule) after splashdown, with its righting spheres deployed. Of note, the lunar module can be stowed inside the rocket's S-IVB third stage and then later "landed" on an included moon surface. The final design of LEGO's Saturn V differs in some ways from what Stiessen and Roche first submitted, omitting some of their ideas for details inside the rocket, but retaining the ability for those who build the model to recreate each phase of the Apollo lunar missions. Their set was given the "go" to launch as an official product seven months later. The project received its 10,000th vote on the crowdsourcing platform in November 2015, qualifying for it for a review by LEGO's professional design team. "The set also includes three stands to display the model horizontally, three new-for-June-2017 astronaut microfigures for role-play recreations of the moon landings, plus a booklet about the manned Apollo missions and the fan designers of this educational and inspirational LEGO Ideas set," the company stated.įelix Stiessen and Valerie Roche (saabfan and whatsuptoday on the LEGO Ideas website) first proposed their Saturn V in 2014. The $119.99 set includes 1,969 pieces, providing a nod to the year that the Apollo 11 mission landed Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to become the first astronauts to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969. "Packed with authentic details, it features three removable rocket stages." "Build the first rocket to land people on the Moon!" the Danish toy company wrote. ![]() The towering model - the toy brick rocket when fully assembled will stand more than 3 feet tall (39.37 inches or 100 centimeters) or about 1:110 the size of the mighty booster - is based on a fan submission on the crowdsourcing website LEGO Ideas. LEGO on Friday (April 28) rolled out its first photos and filed its "launch plan" for its "NASA Apollo Saturn V" set to be released on June 1. The countdown is on for the launch of the LEGO Saturn V moon rocket. ![]() First skyscraper chicago 18859/18/2023 ![]() Luckily, two pivotal inventions from the mid-19th century made the introduction of soaring steel-framed buildings possible. And with the Great Fire as their lesson, architects also knew these structures had to be much more durable than those that had been so easily destroyed. With commerce and industry downtown exploding exponentially, these structures had to accommodate more residential space and more office space - leading to verticality as a solution. As the city looked to rebuild, architects pondered what the next generation of urban structures looked like. But it was a devastation that gave way to the opportunity to rebuild anew. How the World’s First Skyscraper Came to Be But did you know Chicago was also home to the world’s first ever skyscraper? Today we’re taking a look at the historic Home Insurance Building and how it came to be. While many of the buildings inspired by the Home Insurance Building still stand, the source of the inspiration itself fell to the wrecking ball in 1931, to make way for another skyscraper, the Field Building.Chicago boasts many historical architectural feats - it was the host of the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893 and the playground of greats including Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan. These skyscrapers rapidly became tourist destinations for the views of the wider city they provided from their upper floors and as attractive sites in their own right. The movement quickly caught on in Chicago, and by 1893, less then ten years after the Home Insurance Building was completed, the city had built twelve skyscrapers between 16 and 20 stories tall, tightly clustered in the center of the financial district. Buildings of this style was characterized by the use of steel-framework with masonry cladding, allowing large plate-glass window areas and limited exterior ornamentation. ![]() The Home Insurance Building not only did stand, it gave rise to an entirely new architectural movement called Chicago School. ![]() They even temporarily halted construction of the building, after it was permitted, in order to investigate further whether the building could really stand up on its own. When Jenney submitted his designs to the city council, the committee was incredulous. The Home Insurance Building weighed only one-third as much as a masonry building would have. This allowed buildings to be taller as well as lighter than masonry buildings of identical size and height. In Jenney's design, the walls were thin because the load of the building was borne by the steel frame rather than the walls. Until then buildings were constructed with thick load-bearing walls. Monadnock Building: The Last Brick Skyscraper Designed by architect William Le Baron Jenney, the Home Insurance Building was a major technological improvement, one that dictated skyscraper construction for decades to come. Rather it was in Chicago in 1885, where the first building was constructed using a skeleton of steel columns and beams rather than massive masonry walls. The modern phenomenon of skyscrapers developed in America, but it might surprise you to learn that it wasn’t Manhattan where the first skyscraper went up. Then in the later part of the 19th century, with economic prosperity and advancement in construction technology buildings began to supersede in height, and the term skyscraper was applied to these soaring steel-framed constructions. Photo credit: Underwood & Underwood/Corbisīefore “skyscraper” became a synonym to tall buildings, it was used to describe in jest anything that was tall, such as a tall horse or a tall man, or tall hats and bonnets, or the sail at the top of a ship's mast. The Home Insurance Building built in 1885, in Chicago, is often regarded as the world’s first skyscraper. In San Gimignano, in Italy’s Tuscany, there was once more than seventy towers, two hundred feet tall, all constructed before the 15th century. In the desert city of Shibam, in Yemen, there are mudbrick residential buildings as tall as ten stories, built in the 13th century. But the idea of multi-storied buildings was hardly new. The word “skyscraper” was used to describe a tall building for the first time during the construction boom that rippled across many America cities in the late 19th century. ![]() AuthorWrite something about yourself.
