SPOILER WARNING! Spoilers for The Defenders lie ahead!
When the woman you love is brought back from the dead to do evil deeds, it can get more than a little personal. And things do get "deeply personal" for Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, in Netflix's new series, Marvel's The Defenders, as English actor Charlie Cox tells us in this exclusive interview with SYFY WIRE.
In The Defenders, Daredevil has to join forces with Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Iron Fist (Finn Jones) to save New York City from Sigourney Weaver's character, Alexandra Reid, who leads the Hand. The series, which comes from Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez, also stars Scott Glenn and Carrie-Anne Moss. All eight episodes of the first season premiered on Netflix last Friday.
In the interview below, Cox (Daredevil) chats with SYFY WIRE about his character joining forces with the other Marvel street-level superheroes, about the return of Electra, and about "getting it right" when it comes to playing a blind character.
Congratulations on The Defenders. And it looks like you have another season coming up on Daredevil, too.
Yes, we are looking to do that at some point.
This is a great new adventure, and pairing your character up with the other three superheros is pretty cool. What did you think when you read the scripts?
I was real eager to read those first few scripts, 'cause I was so intrigued to know what this show was going to feel like. Our four individual shows are different. I struggled to anticipate what the feel of this show would be. I really enjoyed reading the first few scripts. We've got humor involved. It was potentially going to be a little more lighthearted at times in order to serve the four characters, and the kind of people they are and the way that they communicate with others. You have to allow Jessica Jones to make jokes about Matt Murdock's suit, and that kind of stuff. As a byproduct of that you end up with a show that hopefully maintains high stakes.
The entire first season has been released. Why should folks tune in to watch The Defenders?
For me the people who are going to love this show the most are the fans of the individual characters. If you really enjoyed one or all of the other shows, this is the really fun opportunity for you to see how those characters interact with each other. For many Marvel fans, that's the real treat, that's the real easter egg. The thing that they get most excited about is seeing what happens when [the characters interact with each other]. And that was often the stuff that was the most fun to shoot: those character moments when we were all getting to know each other, or figuring out who we are or at odds with how we wanted to approach the situation.
The highlights of the show are really these four very different, very strong characters. They put them in a room and make them stay there, and that was fun.
Your character had a tough go last season on Daredevil. So when he starts out in The Defenders, he's focusing on law and trying to let Daredevil go. Tell me about the evolution of Matt Murdock in The Defenders.
I felt like I got really lucky with the material I had in The Defenders. It was made easier by the fact that Daredevil, of course, has had experience with the Hand. He knows about the organization. They killed Elektra. So this story is deeply personal to him. And when a story is deeply personal, you can keep the stakes very high. Of course, Jessica and Luke don't have that. They are new to this. They're playing catch-up a little bit. They don't have any real reason to have a problem with this weird mythical organization other than the fact the city is in danger.
But I felt really lucky with the stuff that I had ... It comes from a place where he's feeling pretty low about himself and is pretty down about everything, and he's given up being a superhero. He refinds his feet with his profession, his human profession. And amazingly, things somehow go from bad to worse. By the end of The Defenders, he's gone through yet another roller coaster with this same ex-girlfriend at the heart of it. And they end up fighting/making love with the city crumbling above them. It's pretty Shakespearean in many ways (laughs).
What kind of challenges did you face with the filming of The Defenders?
The hardest challenge for me was the placement of the scenes with Elektra. Effectively you're bringing back someone from the dead, which is always not easy to do. I feel like it's very easy to get that wrong and do that badly. And if you do that wrong, you lose all the stakes. With drama, if there's ambiguity about whether or not characters can live or die, you do start to lose effects. It has to be handled very delicately. So you've got this character that Matt loves coming back from the dead, and I think it has to feel as shocking and horrifying and scary and confusing as we imagine it would in real life. But at the same time, it is something that has existed in this world, in Matt's world in the past, and so he has to find a way of taking the information and making decisions that will inform what he does about it.
I didn't explain that very well. I wanted it to feel as real as possible, but also not render him completely gobsmacked, if you know what I mean. It also has to feel like he can take action around it.
This series has four co-leads. In some ways, I imagine it made life easier for you, considering you're not in every scene. What was it like working with these other three amazing actors?
Yeah, it was great. And as you say, first and foremost, the schedule was so much nicer than it had been on the individual shows, so we were all really appreciative about that. Look, it was really fun to bounce off the other three. And at this point we know that the fans are going to love that part. They're going to love the characters coming together and seeing how they interact, and what those relationships are going to be like. The four of us as actors had a great time exploring that ourselves, both on and off camera. I can't say enough good things about the other three. I loved working with all of them. I actually felt like we had some really good chemistry. I think my favorite episode is Episode 4, where we all come together for the first time, and figure out who we are and what we're doing and what the problem is. I loved all that.
You got to work with some other great actors too, like Sigourney Weaver. That must have been cool.
Working with Sigourney is something I'll remember for the rest of my life. A truly special moment.
What was the biggest surprise for you, the thing that you weren't expecting?
Dragons, I suppose. Maybe. That was not something I imagined I'd ever be (laughs) ... I couldn't ... It was impossible for me to see a world where we're fighting in the cavernous space underneath New York City and dragons ... you know ... (laughs)
You didn't know that was going to happen in Matt's world (laughs)?
Yeah. Exactly. Exactly.
As an actor, what has Matt Murdock meant to you?
Oh my God, I wouldn't even know how to answer that question.
You've done a lot as an actor in your career so far.
Yeah, but nothing that has defined me as much as an actor. I mean that for a number of reasons. Partially because I've been playing him now for three and a half, four years. But we have another season coming up, so it's ongoing. Actually it's the longest time I've played a character. But also because of the Marvel family, because of the success of the show, it's now what people know me for. So there's a loss of anonymity that I enjoyed beforehand. I was usually that guy that people recognize but they don't know where they saw me. Whereas now people know me from Daredevil.
Other than that ... this can sound a bit disingenuous in print sometimes. I worry about saying it. But I feel like I've learned a lot from Matt Murdock. It's good and bad, actually. The way he cuts and ducks, the way he handles situations, I admire him a great deal, and I would like to [incorporate that] in the way that I handle situations. And then he's also quite stubborn, and he's got a temper, and I think he finds it very hard to do something that he doesn't believe is the right thing to do. Compromise is not easy for him, and those kind of things.
It's been an amazing journey. There's so many things about playing this character that have changed my life. Another one is a byproduct of playing a character who's impaired; I'm associated with the American Association for the Blind, which is really rewarding. It's a really wonderful byproduct.
What's it like for you to dig into Matt's emotions about his blindness?
That's something that obviously I take very seriously. Matt Murdock, for obvious reasons, as a superhero, is tremendously important to a lot of people, but also a lot of people who've grown up with some sort of disability. I think he's a real beacon of light, as it were, to people who've grown up with any sort of disability, because not so much that he's transcended or overcome that disability, it's that he uses it to his advantage. And so it's an area that I think is really important to get right. I work very, very hard on that whole aspect of it, and hope that it translates well and is appropriate.
The other interesting thing is that you are not an American, but you're playing an American. Do you ever slip back and lose your American accent?
All the time. It's very, very hard. There are those annoying actors out there who can just think about an accent and then do it flawlessly. I'm not one of those. I have to work really, really hard and spend a lot of time with an acting coach and drill the sounds over and over again, and try to feel like it's my voice. It's another area that takes a lot of work. I'm constantly trying to course-correct.
What are your hopes for Matt Murdock?
I don't really know. I'm excited to see what they come up with in Season 3 ... I have so much faith in the writers and whatever they choose to do, it will be something that is interesting and valid and makes sense.
I have small thoughts that I would like to see happen ... I'm invested in the Karen/Matt relationship. I'd like to see that figure itself out somehow. I feel like they could really help each other. And I think that they love each other a great deal. So I would like for that relationship to get back on track somehow ... Other than that I'm excited that he's not dead.

I have sort of a basic question for brewers. How important and what approach do you take with the mineral content in water for making your beer? Now I know what you're going to say "it makes 99% of the finished product, of course it's important". But I've seen brewers just use RO or use whatever comes out of the tap.
So I guess what I'm attempting to get a read on is...
Do you use water reports and build water profiles of famous water sources?
Do you just use what you have?
Do you approach salt additions as you would any other ingredient to impact desired flavors (Ex. Higher SO4 to impact bittering or Cl to impart softness)?

FTH offers careers not jobs
Having a job is necessary to create stability in our lives, but recent studies highlight that people want more than just money with their jobs – they want meaning. They want to feel that the role they are performing is significant and for those of us who are ambitious, we want to find a step towards something bigger, better.

What is the difference between a job and a career? Purpose. A job might pay the bills, but it doesn't fill out your life or resume. On the other hand, a career is a series of jobs with purpose, furthering your professional development by giving you new skills and knowledge. Your career often reflects study interest but is ultimately the fuel for your professional life.

Tribute to Joseph Christian Soutter
I would like to pay this tribute to Joseph Soutter, who was a great friend of mine from when I met him at the school of pharmacy in Aberdeen in 1950.
He was always so full of fun and when, after my first year, I suggested I was going to change from pharmacy, he was the person who persuaded me to stay on the course, and encouraged me to take my degree.
We both had girlfriends — Joe had Irene, a neighbour of mine, and I had Doreen. We made a good foursome — even going on holiday to Butlins in Ayr, Scotland, (with our parents' permission, I might add).
After qualifying, I was called up to do my two-year national service and lost touch with Joe and Irene, whom I found out went to live and work in England.
I was so sorry to hear of his passing and send all my good wishes to his family. If it wasn't for Joe, I would not have spent 50 years being a local pharmacist in Aberdeen.

Our kids have been writing artist statements on the computer, touching up previously selected art, updating electronic portfolios, and creating new art.....I am having some success getting kids to write their reflective statements voluntarily but I know I will have to extrinsically motivate others to complete this part of their art show preparation tasks......We have been experimenting with our digital video camera creating home made stop/action animation films. The kids do automatic drawings on 24 x 18 inch paper. So far I have strung together 60 seconds of animation and it is very cool to watch the drawings morph from a blank piece of paper. The kids who have worked on the animation want to continue and so they are really into it and always on me to do more. I have been interested in using digital film since I saw Hall Davidson at the Indiana Computer Educators Conference last year. More on our adventure into animation later.

Hello! We're considering moving to the 1Password account version - we currently use standalone 1Password installs. Here's the mix of devices:
Macs (High Sierra)
Tablet (Android)
and (duhn duhn duhhhhhhhn) an old MacBook running Mountain Lion
I'm keen to move to the account version because of the Android tablet, but my husband maintains that old laptop because it runs a few utility programs critical to his business. He's currently got 1Password 4 on there, not synced to anything. (If he changes a password, he notes the new password and does a manual change in 1P 4).
So if we go to a family account, will he just essentially be in the same boat he's in now - running an old version and doing manual updates? Or will he be able to use 1password.com on the old laptop - which might be slightly easier?
I just want to make sure that moving to the account version wouldn't make his situation worse or break anything critical.
Thanks for your help!
1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided
Sync Type: Not Provided
@ellemef: There are a number of limitations/considerations you should be aware of:
That's just in general with 1Password 4. With regard to a 1Password.com membership, that app simply doesn't know anything about the service since it was made years prior to its introduction, so that's a no-go. You may be able to sign into the website and access the account that way, but I have some doubts about that since 1Password.com does depend on some pretty advanced web standards that may not be well supported with and old OS/browser. It's worth a try.
So you're not so much going to run into things breaking, so much as just not working in that environment, since Mountain Lion is going to be missing out on all of the advancements we've seen since 2012 or so. You could maintain a local vault there with some stuff, completely separate from the account, but it's not something I'd generally recommend given that it probably means you'd be trying to go online, and that's definitely not recommended since there are so many known vulnerabilities in both the OS and browser which have been fixed in subsequent years but you will not benefit from in that case. It would really be best to use it entirely offline...and frankly I'm not sure how you'd get the data there anyway, apart from copying it over via USB.
Sorry, that's a lot to dump on you, but if you have any questions or anything else to add I'll be happy to help in any way I can.
That's all terrific information - thanks. I just wanted to make sure I understood the implications of the potential change in 1Password versions as best as possible. It sounds like moving to the new subscription version will be fine, and we will just have to sort out how to handle the "legacy machine" and its inherent security problems on its own.
Thanks so much for the thorough walkthrough of the issues!
You're very welcome! Be sure to let us know if you have any other questions along the way. Have a great weekend!

The river Seine passes through the center of Paris. The Left Bank (Rive Gauche) is the bank of the Seine which is to the left as it heads toward the sea. At Paris, the river flows roughly westwards, cutting the city into two halves; the Right Bank, to the north, and the Left Bank, to the south.
The Left Bank is one of the city's most romantic districts. This is the Paris of another era, the Paris of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and dozens of other members of the great artistic community at Montparnasse.
More than simply a geographical region, the Left Bank has become a name for a particular style of life, fashion, or "look". Some of its famous streets are the Boulevards Saint Germain des Prés, Saint Michel, and the Rue d'Ulm.
The Latin Quarter is a Left Bank region in the 5th arrondissement so named because it has been the center of Paris' university life for over seven hundred years.
Compare with Right Bank for additional facts about Paris.

Has a measure of sanity finally come to a small corner of Hollywood? The crowd at San Diego Comic-Con let out a monstrous cheer when director Jon Favreau announced that his "Cowboys & Aliens" will not be filmed in 3-D. Instead, he's aiming for a John Ford-style Western with sci-fi elements that are more "Close Encounters" than "Avatar." The film, starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, is set for release next summer.The final reel
Now that Craig has filled the Mikael Blomkvist role in "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," David Fincher's search for Lisbeth Salander has narrowed to four, says Entertainment Weekly: Rooney Mara (the upcoming "The Social Network"), French actress Lea Seydoux and Australians Sarah Snook and Sophie Lowe. One of them is about to become a household name. ... This year's "It Guy" Tom Hardy ("Inception") replaces last year's "It Guy" Sam Worthington ("Avatar") in the romantic action comedy "This Means War," co-starring Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine. ... Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake voice Yogi and Boo-Boo in a CGI "Yogi Bear." ... Russell Crowe is making the musical (!) drama "Dirt Music" with director Phillip Noyce ("Salt").

The shopping landscape is set to change considerably, with a recent report from Business Insider finding that this year, around 3,600 brick-and-mortar retail stores are scheduled to close.
Consumers dependence on physical stores has declined over recent years as online shopping has made it much easier to find and purchase products. This means that store closures will soon become a regular occurrence in the retail industry. But rather than just succumbing to their fate, smart retailers are realising the importance of providing a personalised mobile experience to help survive the industry upheaval.
It has been estimated by Statista that mobile will generate $669 billion in global retail commerce revenue over 2018. Despite this, retailers still need to be providing a shopping experience on mobile that enhances consumers experience, taking advantage of its strengths and attributes to deliver unique personalisation and engagement.
Below are some guidelines to follow when it comes to developing a mobile retail strategy.
Make Your Mobile App the Main Attraction
Retail mobile apps are a critical step in creating personalised experiences. This is because apps work as a go-to-destination for customers, thus providing the best source of customer data which can then go on to drive personalisation.
The use of an app also allows customer profiles to be saved easily, meaning that retailers can automatically collect information such as purchase and browsing history. Reward points and loyalty programs are an additional source of customer data that can be used, while at the same time creating an incentive for customers to use the retail app. Apps can also store credit cards for payments both in-store and online and the use of omnichannel allows shopping carts to be built via mobile and then finished on desktop.
Retail mobility ultimately comes down to creating an experience that merges the physical and virtual worlds – going beyond online shopping and apps. It's important to remember the value of a mobile retail app is to maintain connection and interactions with customers on a near daily basis and then use it to gather data which can go on to power new strategies.
Assess What Customers Want
It's clear now that customers are consistent in wanting a more personalised experience from retail brands. But where that personalisation should begin is a question brand's need to be asking themselves.
Following the data will enable retailers to understand which aspects of personalisation they should address immediately. For example, with data, many questions can be answered, such as where are sales being lost? Where are customers engaging with a brand the most? Etc.
Brands first need to optimise current content and online destinations for mobile, then continue to move upwards – develop a mobile app, find a solution to connect all existing mobile properties to collect data for analysis and future innovation. Once this has been done, identifying the form of personalisation that develops the highest ROI will be easy. From there you're able to begin building a plan to provide a personalised mobile retail experience for consumers.
Providing a Mobile Retail Experience Using Analytics
With mobile, trends can be identified much more easily. This is especially the case where path-to-purchase is involved. For example, with it, retailers can see what the role of omnichannel shopping carts are, and how they might be better synchronised across mobile and other platforms to streamline the shopping experience.
One of the greatest benefits that mobile presents retail is the ability to make the customer experience not just easier, but more enjoyable too. A survey carried out by UserTesting in 2017 found that "speed" and "ease of use" were two of the greatest differentiating factors among retail mobile app experiences.
It's important to remember that when implementing mobility into your retail strategy that any new experiences need to offer innovation while also simplifying the customer experience.

With a mother who raced motorbikes and a father who built racing vehicles, motoring has always featured in Hayley Pells' life, but it wasn't until she was injured in Iraq that she considered a career in the industry.
Hayley started in the sector "entirely by accident" when she joined her father's business building single-seat racing cars, after convalescing from an injury sustained while serving in the armed forces in Iraq. Now, she runs the business herself – one of few female garage owners in Wales.
Avia Autos is now a light vehicle MOT station that also carries out maintenance and repair work. Thanks to the company's history of manufacturing racing cars, it has become a suspension tuning specialist, and recently also started calibrating advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
"This benefits the motorist by providing semi-autonomous technology," she explains. "It's the next stage of development for the company and requires significant investment in equipment, space and training."
Avia, based in Bridgend, employs four people and has a 50:50 gender split. The business recently received the Exemplar Employer Award from Chwarae Teg, a charity working in Wales to support the economic development of women, for recognition of its employment practices.

Why does my Debian packages fails to install on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) from Artifactory?
In the new 'Bionic Beaver' Ubuntu distribution there is a change in the 'dpkg' version (1.19.0), where 'dpkg-deb' enables '–uniform-compression' by default.
This means 'control.tar*' file will be compressed using 'xz' by default (to be more precise, using the same compression method as 'data.tar*' file).
This claims 'control.tar.xz' file inside the '.deb' file instead of 'control.tar.gz'.
You may find more information regarding this change in this GitHub page.
When building your Debian packages you need to take this change into account.
Artifactory will accept the package even if you do not (and still compress the 'control' file using '.tar.gz'), but installing these packages will not be permitted by the Ubuntu OS itself since it expects the 'control' file inside the package to be with the '.tar.xz' extension and not '.tar.gz'.

Yes, Spent indeed
Exhaustion in The Face of Everything (Ink on paper)
Just a few thoughts on JD Taylor's article Spent: capitalism's growing problem with anxiety. It's anything but a comphrensive analysis. But I thought it best these small notes being shared rather than being forgotten about, as so many of my notes/thoughts-on essays do.
Spent: capitalism's growing problem with anxiety is all incredibly agreeable; along with Mark Fisher he puts the issue of the mental illness epidemic right at the door of neoliberal financial capitalism. But there was one particular part, under the subtitle Anxiety Machines that generated the "yeah-I'm-glad-someone-else-thinks-this" reaction in my head.
A rise in the cases of allergies, and obsessive compulsive disorders over the past half decade. Yes, I've been keeping a eye-that-often-wishes-it-could-be-blind on this too. A Psychosomatic whirlwind, where fakery and truth are no longer discernable – neoliberal financial capitalism makes us anxiety machines.
"These might all be conditions of modern life: rates of allergies like hayfever and eczema in the UK population have risen to 44% in 2010, whilst rates of depression have similarly soared. Rising recorded levels of these ailments may signal a greater awareness and ability to self-diagnose these conditions, one could argue; but this alone doesn't sufficiently explain why anxiety disorders began rising first of all. Anxiety and fear are psychological marks of domination in all social structures, but a specific anxiety and fear emerges in financial capitalism through the accelerating demands and pressures of working and living in the neoliberal era. Greater insecurity in the workplace or school leads to an intensification of individual failure that is also manifested in the growing trend of bullying, which further reinforces the cycle of stress, depression and suicide. I think this insecurity is also expressed through the very media used to communicate and function in everyday life. By this I mean the intensification of information technologies into domestic and personal life, what Paul Virilio calls a 'tele-present' world. From home computing for leisure, to the Internet, hand-held communication devices, and social networking sites, in the last two decades there has been an unprecedented intensification of technologies that continuously connect users to hyperactive news streams and a disembodied form of social interaction, whose psychosocial norms deserves deeper analysis." JD Taylor.
If one could describe neoliberalism as a project, could it not be described as the darkest of psychological experiments imposed on a human being? Seriously, imagine a participant in a scientific experiment, (perhaps an adult from the 1950's/1960's) donning head-gear that simulates a neoliberal society, perhaps inducing an accelerated state (like in a dream) so that they feel acclimatized to it in no time at all. Then, is it not entirely plausible to imagine their body language changing, with an increase in nervous twitches, an increase in anxious self-analysing and diagnosing? Take a look around you (and a long look at your own habits), is not the case that in workplaces, city streets, and on the social media interface, that there has been a sharp increase in anxiety-ridden behaviour in the past half decade since neoliberalism was 'doubled-up' in response to its dramatic failure?
Is the sharp rise due to this double-dosage? Or is it just one part in a revving up of the then less-intense general problems of pre-crash neoliberalism, that most of us (if we're truthful) thought would go away, as we used to feel about climate change, and the stop-start-stop-start escape from low paid jobs that Ivor Southwood termed 'Non-Stop inertia'? Come-what-may, I think it is wise not to dismiss anyone in our lives who seem to be ensnared by life-restricting issues as 'moaners', 'pessimists' or even 'fakers'; I think that where we stand right now, we can all potentially be classed as sufferers of mental disorders without any wild exaggerations. As I said above, just look around, and give yourself a long hard look.

I've always followed the diet the doctor told me after my j-pouch surgeries. It worked for a good 25yrs along with my meds. But the last 10-14 yrs has just been a struggle, meds no longer work and food making me sick. It comes down to the food I eat and how it digests through my system.
The thought of a vegan or vegetarian diet was always a no-no for someone like me. I had eliminated quite a bit from my diet, allergic to eggs, lactose intolerance, not too much fruit, gluten and off red meat for past 2yrs, geez what is there left to eat? Even with all I've eliminated I'm still not feeling great, I've always said, I feel better when I don't eat.
Been doing lots of research on vegan, vegetarian diets this new year and decided to give it a try. All I can say is WOW. Its been 2 weeks and I've not had to take any anti-diarrheal meds. I still take my vitamins and a digestive enzyme. Could meat have been my culprit all along? I'm thinking it might've been, 10-20 bm's a day cut down to 4-5 a day.. hmm, how interesting. I do hope it stays this way.
I found this article very interesting https://www.forksoverknives.co...id-reflux/#gs.t9funt

Stellar ECLIPSE!
The 122,000 gt CELEBRITY ECLIPSE, third in the spectacular five member CELEBRITY SOLSTICE series of ships, had just arrived in her new home port of Miami, where she hosted a pair of back to back two night inaugural sailings prior to embarking on regular U.S.-based cruise service. Sample the wares and have a look at some of the most extraordinary and progressive design features afloat with Peter Knego on the first of the ship's U.S. inaugural sailings.

Celebrating SOLSTICE Sea Treks
Friday, November 12, 2010
After watching the last of my hand carry enter the X ray machine, I was pointed toward an unfamiliar steel box. "Is that the machine that causes melanoma?", I asked the back of the TSA officer.
His neck craned to the left. "Yep."
"I need a manual search."
For a flash, it was silent in the screening area. The agent's right arm extended to the man behind the machine irradiating my laptop, cameras and shoes. "I've got a male manual!"
"We need a male manual search!", the scanner shouted to a line of officers behind him.
"Male manual?"
"Male manual!"
Aside from the momentary kerfuffle caused by my refusal to enter the box, what followed was a very thorough but polite pat down by a blue-gloved TSA agent. Maybe I was lucky but this latest air travel annoyance paled by comparison with the cramped seating, three hour layover in Cincinnati and infuriating lack of tangible signage in Miami International Airport that lay ahead.
Saturday, November 13, 2010
The next morning, as the shuttle bus crossed the bridge to Dodge Island, the edgy silhouette of Celebrity Cruises' CELEBRITY ECLIPSE was the first in a lineup that included the recently "balconied" CELEBRITY CENTURY, a Carnival DESTINY clone and the NORWEGIAN EPIC.
"I can't wait for you to see this ship!" I told my friend Rob.
And wait we did — for some two and a half hours in a snaking line, grilled by the Miami sun. The 122,000 gt vessel was going through her own extended "manual groping" by U.S. Customs after making her maiden arrival from Europe that day.
The thought of trying to stay awake, let alone document this massive, angular entity in a mere two days had what was left of my pulse racing. Every minute in that queue was another part of the ship not photographed…
My self-induced turmoil ended the second we stepped aboard the maritime masterpiece named CELEBRITY ECLIPSE. She is a ship for those who might otherwise dislike the notion of cruise ships. Nothing about her is corny, clichéed or glitzy. No Olive Garden "peel off" decor — just seamless, inspired and utterly 21st Century sea-going stylings (with a nod to the best of the mid 20th) from a tasteful and well-integrated team of architects and designers.
Our sore eyes soared through the epic scale and architectural dynamics of the atrium, provocative artwork and, yes, the random carpeting! The vast majority of images will be included in a full Quadruple Decked! tour but I'm happy to say this ship is every bit as impressive (and maybe even more so) than her jaw-dropping sibling, the 2008-built CELEBRITY SOLSTICE. Unfortunately, I missed the 2009-built EQUINOX due to a schedule conflict but have no doubts that the second sister is an equal triumph of edgy design and good taste.
Located on forward/starboard Deck 11, 194 square foot Aqua Class stateroom 1516 would be our home for the next 48 hours. One of 130 cabins that come with unlimited access to to the Aqua Spa Relaxation Room overlooking the bow and the Aromatherapy Persian Garden steam room, it features a queen bed with rounded corners, plenty of well-organized storage space and a soothing brown, beige and olive color scheme.
Its brilliantly-conceived bathroom features shelving behind brushed steel-handled, wood-toned cabinetry and chic fixtures like a bowl-shaped sink, a dim light setting option (great for those 4:00 AM calls) and a shower with curved, sliding glass doors.
The Hansgrohe rain shower head and five horizontal spray jets were very much appreciated (once I figured out how to set the temperature) but neither of us had occasion to use the corner bar in the shower for shaving our legs. Note the plastic rings to prevent one's foot from slipping.
Amenities include Hydro Minerale lemongrass hydrating shampoo, conditioning creme, bath gel and moisturizing lotion. En suite bathrobes as well as lavendar oil-infused aroma sticks and a nice little bag with soft slippers are provided in addition to a pillow menu and exclusive access to Blu, the ship's Mediterranean-influenced dining room.
Despite the temptation of chilled bubbly, a huge ship awaited exploration.
But first, some fuel was required. With plenty of open space between its multiple food stations and decor right out of "Catch Me If You Can", the Ocean View Cafe puts most shipboard buffet eateries to shame. Selections include a salad bar with an astounding variety of veggies and coves with pasta, cold cuts, fresh breads, a carvery, Indian food, desserts, ice cream and much more…
It soon became obvious that documenting was a Sisyphean effort. The ship was filling quickly with her complement of travel agents and media. Thankfully, the good people at Celebrity arranged for me to stay on board for a few more hours at the end of our inaugural cruise.
It was time to just savor the details. Like the origami-style packaging on the tea bags in Cafe Al Baccio, the ship's very popular cafe on starboard Deck 4.
Way up on Deck 16, there was a nice view of the soon-to-depart CELEBRITY CENTURY, which brought the "wow" factor to new ships when she debuted as the first "cyber ship" in 1995. Now, at a "mere" 71,545 gt, she is considered a mid-sized "classic".
The midships pool area on the SOLSTICE ships contains two pools, a quartet of whirlpools and a spectacular fountain that jets upward from the base of a bandstand. Angled canvas sunscreens provide shade and create a sculptural effect that for some reason bring to mind the rock temples at Abu Simbel.
There was time for a short but restorative workout in the ECLIPSE's lavish gym, which could hold its own against most established land-based facilities.
From our verandah, the fiber optic lighting effects atop the cruise terminal canopies vied with the vivid sunset behind the ever-growing Miami skyline.
Our dinner was hosted in the Blu Restaurant on port Deck 5 at 5:30. A simply gorgeous space divided in the center by a huge screen and flanked by textured walls in the form of floral blossoms, it has a sea foam green palette versus the cool blue hues of its SOLSTICE equivalent.
In between the colorful circles on the screen are actual"peep holes" that provide a glimpse into the other side of the room.
Among the pleasing details waiting to be scrutinized were table settings that include green-tinted water glasses.
Even the butter coordinates splendidly with Blu's "flower" theme.
We chose from three appetizers: Grilled Tamarind Glazed Quali (with cinnamon pickled carrots and tabouleh); Chilled Seafood Napoleon (with cucumber carpaccio and saffron vinaigrette) and BLU Cheese Souffle (with candied anjou pear and port wine reduction).
Soup and Salad courses included: Chilled Avocado and Lemon Soup (with poached shrimp); Sweet Yellow Corn Velouté (with chile oil, cilantro and chorizo); Baby Spinach Salad (with roquefort cheese, bloomed craisins, toasted pecans, prosciutto and black pepper emulsion); Marinated Tear Drop Tomatoes and Bocconcini Salad (with basil, argan olive oil and balsamic syrup).
Entree choices: Grilled Salmon Fillet and Endive Watercress Salad (with basil pesto); Orechiette Pasta (with porcini mushrooms, vegetable pistou and basil); Blackened Ahi Tuna (with forbidden rice, baby bok choy, spicy onion and white sesame seed vinaigrette); Roasted Chicken Breast (green lentil blini, wilted spinach and tomato garlic emulsion); Pan Seared Filet Mignon (celery root purée, green asparagus, cabernet confit shallots and olive oil beef jus). Daily veggie choices included baby poached vegetables and lemon oil. "Classic Favorite" alternative choices include: Broiled Atlantic Salmon Fillet; Roasted Airline Chicken Breast; Grilled New York Strip.
And the desserts! I ordered the strawberries in a caramelized sugar basket with a chocolate "handle". Succulent and sculptural…
In the Celebrity Theater, the evening show was "Ovations", a tribute to Broadway and West End productions.
After the huge dinner, a bit of walking was required before attempting sleep. The ECLIPSE is stunning in both Lunar and Solar settings.
A warm Tradewind blew across the upper decks and Lawn Club.
The ECLIPSE was moving steadily in the currents off the Florida coast, as evidenced by the "slosh" of her beautifully lit pools.
Even the restrooms on the ECLIPSE and her sisters are an "event". Cloth towels, motion sensor-activated faucets, stylish glass and steel sink basins….
And for the men, urinals with etched steel trivia questions…
Sunday, November 14, 2010
At the 8:45 AM press conference, Celebrity CEO Dan Hanrahan unveiled plans for the "SOLSTICE-ing" of the INFINITY at Grand Bahama Shipyard and fielded questions about the ECLIPSE. I was able to ask what physical differences set the ECLIPSE apart from the SOLSICE. Here they are:
1. The Grand Staircase has been modified.
2. Cellarmasters (wine bar) has been redone.
3. New decor in Blu.
4. Qsine has replaced the Silk Harvest specialty restaurant.
5. A "Living Room" area has been added to the Sky Observation Lounge.
6. The i-Lounge has replaced the Internet Center.
After the boat drill, Celebrity VP of Culinary Operations and Executive Chef Jacques Van Staden hosted a media "tasting" event in Qsine at 11:30 AM. Extra tariff ($30), reservations-required Qsine has replaced the Asian Fusion dining venue on the SOLSTICE and EQUINOX and represents a bold, interactive concept in shipboard eateries. Each dish has been invented or re invented by Van Staden so that guests can experience an array of international specialties in a unique and fanciful way.
While standing behind a banquet table filled with Qsine specialties such as "Sushi Lollipops" (sushi with a soy center, wasabi and ginger/radish salad ) and Popcorn Fish and Chips (cod and fries in a popcorn box with malt vinegar on the side), Van Staden held up an i-Pad with the Qsine touch screen menu.
Colorful icons represent various dishes as well as wines and other beverages. Martinis and specialty drinks can be virtually "mixed" on the i-Pad, as well.
International specialties such as guacamole can be prepared to taste by the guest, utilizing a mortar and pestle filled with slices of avocado and other guacamole makings.
The distinctive orange and black table settings have been designed by Van Staden and his staff. Even the uniforms, which are asymmetrical, are Van Staden creations. In Qsine, the term "waiter" has been rendered passé. Attending staff are designated "culinary tour guides"
And the desert menu? A Rubik's Cube of sweet options waiting to be twisted and unfolded…
Appetite piqued by the Qsine samplings, I joined Rob in the spectacular, double deck Moonlight Sonata Dining Room for lunch. We were seated at a table for two on the starboard side balcony.
Although the Moonlight Sonata is just the ship's "regular" dining venue, the food and service was superb. We began with the freshly-baked breads (organic French bagueete, whole grain rye and Greek olive/oregano), accompanied by a carafe of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I had crisp fried mozzarella sticks (with marinara dip and pesto) and potato and leek bisque (with pistachio foam) before digging into a fried tofu main course with radish sprouts and ponzou sauce.
And for dessert a caramelized apple on a Feuillantine Cookie a la mode.
The remainder of the day was spent exploring the ship, working out and trying to rest in our comfortable suite. A helicopter buzzed us as the ECLIPSE zig-zagged through the sea lanes off South Florida. Outbound cruise ships from Miami and Fort Lauderdale passed on either side of us en route to the Bahamas and Caribbean.
Dinner in Murano that night was another epicurean event. Murano is the ECLIPSE's extra tariff dining venue featuring rich Continental cuisine. Guests can choose from an a la carte menu ($35 per person) or opt for the special "Five Senses" Gastronomic and Vineyard Tour ($89 per person) food and wine pairing. Vintages culled from an extensive wine list and caviar (market price) are also available.
Table settings include copper chargers, Riedel stemware and silver plate cutlery and napkin rings.
It all began with the Phyllo Baked Anjou Pear With Roquefort Cheese…
And of course, there was a palate cleansing sorbet in a winged, etched glass bowl.
Among the main courses was a brilliant Pan Seared Dover Sole Veronique…
I finished with a "not so modest" order of crepes in Grand Marnier sauce a la mode — prepared tableside…
And, of course, there were petits-fours.
Next stop, the Celebrity Theater for a taste of the evening show, "Edge" (classic pop and rock tunes), featuring a spectacular $250,000 screen as its backdrop.
Monday, November 15, 2010
Our CELEBRITY ECLIPSE cruise had ended almost as quickly as it began. By 9:00 AM, we were out of our cabin and had our luggage stowed at reception so we could actually begin documenting the ship.
A brilliant sun beamed down on the patch of live grass adjacent to the Hot Glass Studio.
A special team of gardeners were watering the aft portion of the Lawn Club.
Under a glass canopy festooned with solar panels, fountains danced behind the forward pool.
And a budding Brigitte Bardot frolicked in the fountain by the open air pools.
It was almost noon by the time we had worked our way down to the ship's public spaces. On aft Deck 5, the Ensemble Lounge provides access to Michael's Club (a cigar smokers' haven) and the specialty dining venues Murano, Qsine, Blu and the Tuscan Grill.
The Tuscan Grill steakhouse ($30 per person) is located in the stern with dramatic picture windows overlooking the ship's wake.
Obscured by layers of guests during the short preview cruise, the elliptical Martini Bar on Deck 4 is just one of many dynamic and modern spaces on the ship.
As the CELEBRITY ECLIPSE filled up with its next quota of agents and media, the time had come for us to reluctantly disembark. In terms of innovative architecture and dynamic decor alone, this series of ships sets the bar for all forward-thinking Premium market cruise lines.
Stay tuned for a very detailed look at almost all of the ECLIPSE's decks and public spaces in a forthcoming Decked!

Rates & Terms in Virginia
Loaning in Virginia is allowed, yet there are limitations forced by the state. The important point is to secure the privileges of the citizens. There are a few rules in regards to the agreement, advance sums and terms, rollovers and partial installments. Loan companies in this state are able to charge 3-digit APR (yearly rate), which is often not more than 600% for each annum. It is very clear that in spite of a couple of confinements that have been forced on payday advance organizations in Virginia, "here and now" loans still don't make an astute financial choice. In spite of the fact that anybody can meet all requirements for it effortlessly, it will be extremely costly. In this case, it is constantly better to maintain a strategic distance from these sorts of simple yet dangerous advances. On the off chance that you are in such situation as considering obtaining a payday credit or you are in payday obligation, make sure you are mindful of what the state laws say in regards to it. The more you know about your rights and lawful alternatives, the better you will have a chance to be protected.
According to Virginia payday advances laws, a borrower can't afford to have outstanding advance at one time. Moreover, the laws additionally indicate that the biggest credit must not surpass $500. In case that a company realizes that you an outstanding loan in your name and still issues another one advance to you, it will be considered wrong for your moneylender. You have the privilege to complain against that moneylender.
There are likewise arrangements for a cooling-off period under Virginia payday advance laws. On the off chance that client has been offered to pay off an advance according to the repayment plan, a client can request another payday loan when ninety days have left. In addition to that, in case that it is the 5th time client gets a loan, a client should wait no less than 45 days from the date client gives back that advance in full with a specific end goal to fit the bill for another payday credit. The laws additionally expect a lending company to wait no less than a day from the date of money was given back before issuing another credit to the same client who has just obtained one, two, three or four advances.
State laws entirely forbid lending companies from extending the due date of the advance if the client neglects to pay off the advance within the set time. Actions such as programmed renegotiate, reestablishments, or rollovers are not allowed in Virginia. If there is an occurrence of non-payment of obligation, lending company can pick one of the two alternatives – it can offer a reasonable repayment plan for the client or send the advance account to accumulation status and take activities against the client.
The highest interest that can be charged by Virginia payday lending company is 687.76% for every annum. The fund rate and expenses on each $100 of advance issued for 14 days are allowed in the following way – 20% of the whole loan's sum issued and $5 as confirmation charge + 36% APR and extra funds fees -$26.38.
Any criminal activities are forbidden in the territory of Virginia; $25 NSF charge is obligated in case the check given back due to the insufficient funds; there can be reasonable fees of the attorney. But they ought not to surpass $250. A repayment plan is additionally needed once every year.
Requirements for Payday Loan Lenders
Lending company should have at any rate $25,000 in resources per territory. It should keep documentation for a client's payment cycle. This documentation has to be a written application or a duplicate of a client's payment stub that shows the cycle.Electronic charges of any sort are not permitted, for example, the Automated Clearing House arrange. The check's amount given by a client to a lending company as security for an advance can't be more than the amount of the interest and advance's fees. It is unlawful to make an advance to an individual from the US military, their relative, etc. Requesting for data from the department must be returned in 30 days since the request.
What Rights Does Customer Have
A client can rescind an advance, by end of the following business day after an advance is received, without being liable to any expenses or interest. The customer has the privilege to prepay the advance in full amount. The collected interest will be set according to the rate. The client may prepay in additions of $5 or more, avoiding the obligation. The installment plan, interest rate, and any expenses won't be changed until client pays in full.
According to Virginia payday advance laws, borrowers who can't give back the loan within the definite time should be offered a moderate repayment plan (in portions). The laws don't determine the correct terms and states of this plan. Indebted individuals are allowed to make a proposition to the lending company. However, loan company gets the freedom either to agree or offer a counter arrangement. Generally speaking, things particularly rely upon how productive the borrowers are in transactions. It is likewise critical to pay attention that any client can't fit the bill for a reimbursement plan more than once in a year. Fortunately, no further interest can be obligated for the longer term offered to the client as a component of the plan.
Every lender working with the citizens of Virginia is obliged to receive a special license of the Virginia State Corporation Commission. It doesn't matter if the company works on the territory of the state or just provides online services on its territory. The license is a must.
Therefore, to stay within the law, you should make sure the lender you are applying to has got all the required documents. As of the moment of our reviewing this issue, none of the online payday loan services working in Virginia has this license.

Pope Francis made headlines recently for mandating a different translation of the Lord's Prayer into modern languages. He is urging Roman Catholics to switch from the traditional phrasing "Lead us not into temptation" to a new version "Let us not enter into temptation." Note that he was not suggesting changing the text of Scripture or what Jesus said; he was merely arguing that this prayer has been mistranslated into the languages with which we today are familiar. Yet casting this as a translation issue is to misrepresent the theological basis for the objection and how it functions. (more…)
Month: December 2017
The Holy Family in American Politics
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph do not play very visible roles in US politics. "For God and Country" is a slogan that makes the rounds in some circles, but the nature of that God is left unspecified (perhaps beyond typically excluding Muslims). The dearth of direct appeal to Jesus even in conservative American politics, to say nothing of the silence about his mother and step-father, makes it all the more surprising that the Holy Family has been dragged into political debates twice in one month. The nature of those invocations, and their historical and theological confusion, reveals the cynical pragmatic secularism driving the use of these religious ideas at this political juncture. Christian complicity in these invocations threatens the intelligibility of the gospel message to outsiders. (more…)

Babies require a lot of things — toys, strollers, cribs, diapers, wipes, carriers, food, lotion, you name it. Each year in September, the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) hosts Baby Safety month to remind consumers of the importance of both baby safety and purchasing safe products. JPMA offers toolkits to manufacturers, retailers, doctors, and others to educate them about child safety.
Baby Safety Month timeline
- 1985
Safety laws
By 1985 all states in the U.S. had a law on the books requiring children in cars to be strapped into a car seat.
- 1973
Safer cribs
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission began setting the standards for infant beds, or cribs.
- 1969
Safer toys
President Nixon signed the Toy Safety Act, which authorized the government to test and ban hazardous toys.
- 1962
Safer car rides
British inventor Jean Ames created the first child safety seat.
How to Observe Baby Safety Month
Educate yourself
The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association and other baby safety organizations make information available. Especially if you come into regular contact with small children, take this month to learn a few things.
Offer to babysit
New parents are tired people. Give them a break by offering to babysit for a night and then use all of your baby safety knowledge to keep that baby safe.
Buy a safe product for all the babies you know
Hit the shops, buy a safe product for all the babies in your life, and tell the parents you were inspired by Baby Safety Month. Then let them know there's plenty of information online about how they can keep their babies safe.
5 Cute Tips For The Safest Baby Ever
Medicine isn't candy
Don't sell your child on the idea that medicine is "candy." If they manage to find that medicine bottle laying about they might just take a few swigs on their own.
Keep the kitchen safe
When cooking, make sure pot handles are turned away so if your child does manage to get too close to the stove, they can't grab one.
Broken toys are hazardous
Worn out toys can be a danger to children as small parts might break off. Make sure your child's toys are in good condition and toss them when they wear out.
Baby gates
Install baby gates at the top AND bottom of staircases to keep stairs fully off limits.
Soft snack foods
Make sure snack foods for your small child are soft enough for them to swallow. Harder foods present a choke hazard.
Why Baby Safety Month is Important
Who doesn't love babies?
Babies are cute! But they are not self-reliant. At least not yet. So those who look after babies need to make sure they are purchasing safe products and not putting them at risk. Safe babies are the cutest babies!
Parents can't know everything
The toy industry alone sold $20 billion worth of products in 2016. That's a lot of toys! Parents need to know how to pick safe ones for their kids and what dangers and risks to look out for. The same goes for other types of products a child might need.
It takes a village
It's not just parents who need to be concerned with baby safety. All those aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and friends need to get it too — especially around holidays and birthdays when they're loading their favorite baby up with presents.

Gillette Tells Men They're Repulsive Creeps. Now Give Them Your Money, You Piece of Garbage
Are you a man? That is to say, are you a genetic male who also happens to identify as a "man," for some increasingly antiquated reason? If so, are you under the mistaken impression that you're not a rapist?
Our society has come a long way in shaming men for behaving in any way that anybody anywhere doesn't like, and reminding men that we're all complicit even if we don't behave that way. But it's not nearly enough. The mere fact of maleness is shameful and problematic. Men and boys everywhere need to be reminded that we're evil. We must learn to hate ourselves as much as everyone else hates us. The patriarchy must be castrated.
And who better to do it than a company that makes razors?
Gillette is embracing the #MeToo movement in a new digital ad campaign aimed at men, the latest message from an advertiser attempting to change societal norms...
"This is an important conversation happening, and as a company that encourages men to be their best, we feel compelled to both address it and take action of our own," said Pankaj Bhalla, Gillette brand director for North America in an emailed statement. "We are taking a realistic look at what's happening today, and aiming to inspire change by acknowledging that the old saying 'Boys Will Be Boys' is not an excuse. We want to hold ourselves to a higher standard, and hope all the men we serve will come along on that journey to find our 'best' together."
This is long overdue. #TimesUp, penis-havers!
Here's Gillette's first salvo in their war on men. WARNING: Contains depictions of male behavior.
See? See what you've done, you repulsive creeps? And don't you think you could use a shave?
If that didn't fill you with regret and self-loathing at being a man, then you weren't one to begin with. Masculinity is more toxic than the plastic in Gillette's inexpensive disposable razors. I didn't even realize how rotten and depraved I was until I saw this ad, and now I want to run out and buy as many Gillette products as I can carry.
Gillette has learned that in [current year], it's not enough for a company to make a product that people want. It's not enough to make them feel inadequate about themselves, and then sell them the supposed cure for that inadequacy. Consumers, men in particular, must be made to feel worthless. They have to be reminded that their needs and desires are wrong under any circumstances, that their instincts are loathsome, that their very existence is a malignancy, and that they're responsible for all the world's ills whether they want to admit it or not.
Now give them your money, you piece of garbage.
If past corporate scolding campaigns are any indication, Gillette will see some pushback from customers who don't know what's good for them. When Starbucks introduced their #RaceTogether campaign back in 2015, they were roundly excoriated by racists everywhere. And guess what? Racism continues to this day. Are you going to allow the same thing to happen with sexism, or are you going to go out and buy a Mach3?
I'm proud to be ashamed of being a man, and I applaud Gillette for refusing to let me get away with it. The best a man can get is the bottom of the barrel.
P.S. On a more sincere note, over the weekend I was saddened to learn about the death of cartoonist and comics writer Batton Lash. We never met in person, but a few years back Batton and I became friends online and collaborated on some cartoons and things. He even did the logo for my blog at the Daily Caller. He was a terrific artist, a pioneer in independent comics publishing, and just about the nicest, most encouraging guy on earth. I've shared a few of my memories here, and you can find more of his work at ExhibitAPress.com. Rest in peace, Batton.

With the presence of the National Director of the Information Center of Natural Resources (Ciren), Juan Pablo Lopez; of the SEREMI Agriculture in the Maule region, Jorge Céspedes; and the Regional Director of INDAP, Jairo Ibarra; was launched a series of regional seminars that aim to raise awareness the benefits of the project "Rural Territorial Information System, SIT Rural".
The first city to be visited was Talca, what was an opportunity for the professionals in charge of the SIT Rural to explain in detail the importance of this initiative to those who are in charge of the INDAP Local Development Program of the 16 communes in the region involved in the project: Rauco, Hualañé, Vichuquén, Curepto, Constitución, San Clemente, Rio Claro, Empedrado, Linares, Longaví, San Javier, Yerbas Buenas, Cauquenes, Parral, Chanco and Pelluhue.
The project, which began in 2006, involves the construction of a Communal and Rural Territorial Information System, which includes the 100 municipalities with the highest level of rurality in the country. This system is implemented through a website (www.sitrural.cl), where it is possible to find information such as: hydrographic; agroclimatic; the ability of land use; native forest cadastres; fruit cadastres; population centers ; administrative boundaries; rural properties; tourist data and even the Ministry of Health background.
The Talca seminar was the first of seven events that the Ciren professionals will held throughout whole Chile. Other Regions considered for these meetings are: Coquimbo, Valparaíso, Libertador General Bernardo O´Higgins, del Biobío, La Araucanía and Los Ríos. It is precisely in Valdivia where the next seminar will be held by the end of May.
