Distinguishing between "Facilitators"
and "Consultants"
The Encounter between the Client
and the Consultant
The Consultant's role
A Consultant must acknowledge to himself, and then to the Client, whether he is equipped with the right tools and expertise to solve the problem, accomplish the necessary changes and improvements, or whether more specialized help is needed.
If, due to a limited budget or a superficial diagnosis, the Client asks the Consultant to provide a limited service (e.g. a lecture or presentation on Customer Service), which may not actually solve the company's problem/s, the Consultant should attempt to discover the real need of the company in relation to the subject under discussion, i.e. is this a request only for a "refresher" session or is there a problem with Customer Service? If the latter is the case, he must offer an honest opinion to the Client, even at the risk of losing the business. Example: with a few probing questions the Consultant may discover the reasons behind the bad Customer Service, which is but a symptom and that the problem may lie either in shortcomings in supervision, management or human resources practices, a deficient operational aspect, or inadequate training.
At this point the Consultant should be candid with the Client and offer an opinion regarding the effectiveness of a generic Customer Service session, explaining the necessity of correcting the root of the problem before the actual delivery of training sessions to front-line employees.
Here, the Consultant acts as a true Consultant, way beyond the "Facilitator" the Client wanted to hire. A good Consultant will first clarify goals, discover the root/s of the problem/s, help correct those problems, then guide management and employees towards the desired results.
A good Consultant will custom-design a Customer Service workshop to fit this company's needs, taking into consideration all the attributes of the human resources at hand. Employees should never be treated as mere "recipients" of a program - their background, culture, personalities, skills, abilities, knowledge, know-how, past and present experience, aspirations, morale and opinions should be taken into account when planning any type of program. This applies to all the human resources of a company, including its supervisory level. A good Consultant knows this and he therefore serves his Client best by proposing to follow this preliminary discussion and diagnosis with an in-depth needs assessment that will involve an impartial study (accompanied by interviews) of the company: its present situation, its management/ managerial style, employees, operation, past and present achievements, and shortcomings, as compared to the desired goals and objectives.
When a Client agrees to invest in a needs assessment he is giving Management's commitment to improving the situation in a structured manner. The company will be ready to advance and improve progressively, with the involvement of all its players. It will stop stifling fires as they erupt and managing crisis after crisis, but advance as a unified force in a progressive manner.
Needs Assessment
The purpose of any training program, be it a Seminar-Workshop or a structured program to be carried "in-house" is to improve any or all of the above-mentioned aspects (the ideal being "all of the above"). A company is composed of many facets which represent interdependent areas of operation; each affects the whole.
Managers' Reluctance to pay for
Needs Assessments leads to Dilemmas
(a) Giving management what they want
at the price they are ready to pay, even if such an activity will
not lead to long-term results or represent true value to the Client,
Some Consultants believe that if they give the client what he wants and later speak about further needs the company has, the Client will be "won over" by then for further Consulting.
Other Consultants prefer to maintain their image, repute, and business integrity by speaking openly with the Client about the real needs of the company. Such Consultants risk losing some Clients but "win big" in the long run; the Client doesn't feel he has been duped or drawn into unending short-term Consulting contracts.
If it is short-term sporadic activities that the Client insists on, even though he has been made aware of the deeper needs that must first be tackled, then the Consultant must make sure that he will not be held accountable for unreasonable expectations by the Client. Short-term, unstructured activities are "stop gap" measures and the Client must be made to realize that; otherwise, the Consultant's reputation is at stake.
A good Consultant leads the Client to realize that a Consultant plays the role of Company Physician. A good physician does not prescribe antibiotics or cough drops relying on the patient's diagnosis, without examining the patient, or depending on the patient's budget. A Consultant who does not act as Company Physician (examining, diagnosing, prescribing and tailoring a remedy to fit the patient) should describe himself as "Facilitator"; consulting involves deeper commitment from all sides.
Managers call upon Consultants to help them:
For any of the above the Manager will agree to consider a Consultant with:
The Consultant as Problem-Solver,
Coach, Guide, Mentor
Traits, Characteristics and Validation
to look for when choosing a Consultant
Consultants are costly, but if you
choose the right Consultant, it is the best investment you can make.
Actually, if you have a problem, instead of spending more on advertising,
you should take the time to select the right Consultant and work
with him to plan a company strategy that will raise it to the level
you desire and that your Customers expect.

Sept. 8, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Freshman sensation Christian Therkelsen emerged as MIT's offensive hero for the second consecutive game, as the Norwegian striker bagged all three goals in the Engineers' 3-2 victory over Rhode Island College on Saturday afternoon at Steinbrenner Stadium. The win served as a measure of revenge for the Cardinal and Gray, which was beaten soundly by the Anchormen, 4-1, early last season.
Therkelsen has now scored the decisive goal in each of his first two intercollegiate contests, as he netted the game-winner in the 2-0 season-opening triumph over Salve Regina University on Tuesday.
The scoring was started by MIT (2-0-0) in just the ninth minute on the first shot of the match. Junior midfielder Neil Zimmerman broke free down the right side, freeing himself enough to deliver a picture-perfect cross to the head of Therkelsen. The rookie made no mistake, re-directing his header across the face of goal and off the inside of the left post, giving Rhode Island keeper Dereck Loisel no chance.
The resilient Anchormen (2-2-0) also managed a goal on their first shot of the contest, leveling the score in the 27th minute when freshman midfielder Adam Philbin's cross from the left flank was side-footed home by fellow sophomore Jose Talavera. The strike was the first of the campaign for Talavera and left the halftime score line at 1-1.
MIT stormed out of the gates following the break, re-taking the lead with a pair of goals less than six minutes after the restart. Chase Lochmiller's excellent through ball caught the Rhode Island defense cold and led Therkelsen in on goal down the left side. The Nesbru, Norway native calmly rounded the keeper before finishing high past two back-tracking defenders in the 48th minute.
Therkelsen gave the Engineers a 3-1 cushion and completed his hat trick just over three minutes later, notching his fourth goal of the season after being played through by captain Andrew Bishara.
A frantic opening to the second half was completed 29 seconds later, as Anchormen captain Josh Silva cut the deficit to 3-2 with a powerful penalty kick. The junior finished high into the top right corner after a teammate was taken down in the box.
Rhode Island had a golden opportunity to tie the game in the 80th minute, as an MIT defender was judged to have handled the ball in the penalty area, awarding the Anchormen a second spot kick. However, Silva's second penalty attempt was unsuccessful, as junior goalkeeper Tom Caldwell guessed left and was at full stretch to deny the effort and secure the 3-2 win.
Caldwell made three saves to earn the victory, while Loisel stopped two shots in defeat.
The Engineers will hit the road for the first time this season when they travel to Medford on Tuesday, Sept. 11, to take on Tufts University at 7:00 p.m. Rhode Island will also next play away from home at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, as it travels to New London, Conn., to face off against New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference member Coast Guard.

text: Book – The Art Institute of Chicago is currently featuring a special exhibit, Violence and Virtue: Artemisia Gentileschi's "Judith Slaying Holofernes" displaying her sensational painting on loan from Florence through January 09, 2014. Artemisia was as beautiful and strong as the women in her paintings, frequently using herself as a model. This fictionalized account of her artistic life gives readers insight of this true Renaissance woman and the obstacles and conflicts that she overcame to be one of the most famous and skilled painters of the Baroque era, a woman centuries ahead of her time. Artemisia's mother died when she was twelve and was raised and apprenticed by her artist father, Orazio while living in Rome. At the age of 18 she was raped by her father's friend Agostino. Though he is brought to trial, she ends up being publicly humiliated, shamed and betrayed by her father. She feels that she has no other choice, but to leave Rome and agrees to marry Pietro Stiatessi, an artist in Florence. Her marriage soon develops rifts as Artemisia begins to have some success. She wins the patronage of the Medicis and is the first woman to be elected to the Accademia dell'Arte before her husband. She continues establishing herself as an artist, acquires more commissions and friendships with intellectuals including Galileo. Pietro is jealous of his wife's success and they soon separate and she continues her life as a working single mother, unheard of for an admired reputable woman during that time period. Art truly is Artemesia's passion and Vreeland beautifully conveys that in her book. Other books by the same author include Clara and Mr. Tiffany, Girl in Hyacinth Blue, and others.


text: I have a quick question about workspace sizes. I'm using DGEEV in a legacy code which computes workspace requirements based on LAPACK documentation, using the minimum requirements that LWORK>=max(1,3N) or when eigenvectors are required LWORK>=max(1,4N). When I re-link the code to MAGMA_DGEEV it returns an error code indicating that LWORK is insufficient. For example for a N=102 eigenvector problem LWORK is 408, but MAGMA requires at least 3366 ((NB+1)*N). Should users expect the MAGMA CPU interfaces to exactly match LAPACK? Is there a real need for such a huge increase in workspace requirements?

Drug War (US - BD RA)
Gabe finally sees what everyone else sees in Johnnie To's crime movies...
Manufacturing just 50 grams of meth in China will earn you a death sentence. Timmy Choi (Louis Koo) just got caught making tons. Now he's in the custody of Captain Zhang (Sun Honglei) and has one chance to avoid execution – turn informant and help the cops bring down the powerful cartel he's been cooking for. Over the next 72 sleepless hours, the sting spins out of control, the line between duty and recklessness is blurred, and it becomes unclear who actually has the upper hand. (From Well Go USA's official synopsis)
Regular readers (mostly my family members) may remember that I've had trouble with post-'90s Hong Kong crime films in the past. I find so many of them tonally flat, impenetrably melodramatic, and generally interchangeable. Take heart, though, I am aware that all of these complaints practically define my beloved Italian thrillers (gialli), so I needn't be reminded of my blatant hypocrisy. I've long assumed that I had trouble with the 'new school' HK flicks, because I fell in love with their zanier, more excessive predecessors at a relatively young age – movies like John Woo's Hard Boiled, Ringo Lam's Full Contact, Jackie Chan's Police Story, and Lau Kar-Leung's Tiger on the Beat. Since movies like Infernal Affairs have taken the HK scene by storm, I've found myself drawn more to their South Korean and Japanese counterparts. On the other hand, I think my proclivity for not enjoying these films and my relative ignorance concerning their qualities makes my opinion on any given film a decent litmus test – if I like it, it must be particularly good, right? No, I don't think I'm placing too much importance on my opinion, why do you ask?
Anyway, because I'm generally (and unfairly) disinterested in the genre I haven't kept up on the blossoming career of director Johnnie To. I still prefer his all-star, female-led superhero/horror/action hybrid, Heroic Trio (1993), which I understand isn't a particularly good indicator of the skills that make him an HK crime favourite. I sort of gave up after Election, its sequel, and PTU didn't move me, and ended up missing out on a number of what I've been told are his best films, including Exiled, Mad Detective, Vengeance, and Punished. Apparently, Drug War isn't entirely indicative of those other recent To 'classics,' because it was made with an eye towards mainland Chinese audiences (it is incredible and fantastic that, more than a decade after HK was absorbed by China, the HK film industry still remains relatively separate). That said, the whole film still has a stylistic sort of anti-reality. He's not afraid to embrace strange characters and moments that verge on the cartoonish. The larger than life personalities and oddball touches are dialed back before they reach Takashi Miike-like levels of insanity, but keep the audience on their toes long enough to cover some of the more conventional story beats. The action is actually pretty light until the explosive climax, but To replaces that thrill with more subtle moments of physicality, like a bit where a drug lord almost discovers a camera hidden inside a cigarette box, only to have Choi casually intercept it at the last minute. And, when a shoot-out is unleashed, the direction isn't overly flashy – slow-motion, handheld camera work, and editing are all kept to a minimum in favour of longer shots and well-established geographies.
Drug War was co-written by frequent To collaborator Wai Ka-Fai, alongside Yau Nai-hoi, Ryker Chan, and Yu Xi. That's a lot of cooks in the proverbial kitchen, but they don't strain the narrative with over-complicated side plots or unnecessary characters. The writers are brave, perhaps even foolhardy, to throw the audience into a situation we can't possibly understand. We're expected to unravel meaning in the context as it was delivered. Usually, this would be a hell of a hurdle for an audience not versed in Chinese crime cultural to surmount, but, even without an awareness of the intricate differentiations between US and HK law enforcement/drug running protocols, its generally easy to follow and it moves quickly. The last act lags a tad with technical complexities, but not enough to bog down the entire film – besides, the climax is tense enough to overlook such a minor infraction. The general lack of dialogue is also welcome, because it compels To to tell his story via images, instead of words (one sequence even involves a group of deaf characters and is told almost exclusive in sign language). I suppose heavy exposition is rarely a problem I've had with post-millennial Chinese crime movies.
Drug War was shot on 35mm film and is presented here in 1080p, 2.35:1 video. Well Go has been on a roll lately in terms of the quality of their Blu-ray releases, so I'm sad to say that this particularly anticipated release is something of a step back. The image isn't so problematic that it ruins the viewing experience, but there are certainly problems. The biggest issue is over-sharpening. It seems to me that someone tried to 'correct' the softer edges of 35mm film stock by cranking the sharpness up to a degree that it causes an awful lot of haloes, especially during the first half of the film (I started to notice the haloes less and less as the disc advanced). The film is shot using a lot of shallow focus and with anamorphic lenses that distort the edges of the frame, so some of the more complex fine details are ironed out with blur. This is clearly a stylistic choice, not a problem with the transfer. The lack of grain in some scenes is a bit suspicious, too, but I didn't notice many telltale signs of DNR enhancement. To and cinematographer Cheng Siu-keung have obviously digitally colour-corrected the film, opting to John Woo Blue-tint many of the scenes and highlight them with consistent, pastel reds and warm skin tones. A few of the interior sequences are warmly gold-tinted and these scenes tend to feature the fewest sharpening effects. Skin tones are a bit uncanny in terms of consistency, but these are tightly separated from the blue and green bases in most cases. Some of the darker and more harshly blued scenes have minor blocking and noise level problems, but the majority of the image is comparatively even and clean.
Well Go has presented Drug War's original Mandarin soundtrack in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 sound. Some of the stereo effects are a bit weird, specifically in that they're too widely spread. Objects to the slight left or right of the screen will be heard exclusively in the corresponding stereo channels. The surround channels are relatively bare, outside of some of the musical echoes and a few of the bigger action sequences (there are particularly lively shootouts around the one hour mark and during the climax). Otherwise, this is a pretty dynamic track that contrasts long bouts of relative silence (there's often a underlying hum of some kind of noise) with sudden bursts of immersive sound. I often note that modern Chinese action films have oddly loud/artificial-sounding vocal tracks. I've heard that the region hasn't continued the tradition of shooting without sound, which left me to assume that some of the actors were dubbed from Cantonese into Mandarin. In this case, it was pretty easy to verify that Louis Koo was dubbed. On the other hand, the rest of the dialogue is natural with surprising depth and, unlike those incidental sound effects, it sits pretty discretely in the center channel. Xavier Jamaux's score has a distinctly '90s feel to it, somewhere between a Hollywood cop movie and the more subtle, moody electronic score of something like Infernal Affairs. Jamaux uses a lot of keyboards, guitar harmonics, and drums that bounce back and forth through the stereo speakers.
The extras are very light, including only a trailer and trailers for other Well Go USA releases.
Drug War isn't a transformative experience, but it's a good enough movie to turn me around on Johnnie To's prevalent career in modern crime movies. I will be seeking out his other movies in my spare time. Other non-fans might find themselves similarly moved by the film's tight plotting, restrained dialogue, and spectacular climax. To's fans might be a little disappointed by this release's occasionally over-sharpened transfer and lack of extras, but should be satisfied with the dynamic DTS-HD MA soundtrack.
* Note: The above images are taken from the Blu-ray and resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer.

I love Heroic Trio- I wish the original language track version available in the USA.
I shall proceed with due caution then
Heroic Trio is wacky with a capital WACK.
Caught this one a few months ago, enjoyed it enough to make me seek out To's earlier work. Will check out Heroic Trio next now.
Cool- another Johnnie To movie to go rent. thanks for the review
Somebody uploaded a widescreen copy of The Mission on Youtube. If you haven't seen it yet, I really recommend it. Despite being more grounded than its fellow Hong Kong films, it is a product of 90s HK cinema in that it has a lot of those weird florishes that defined the industry. It may well be my favourite of To's films.

I wear XXS in BEBE although I purchased the XS because it was the only size available. The length was just right, the drama on the sleeves added an extra edge, and it fit extremely well. I highly recommend this dress to someone that is looking for a sexy dress without showing too much skin, and wants to leave a little to the imagination ;).

Don't let us pressure you into an optimizing death match! :-) If some routine is fast enough after a first level of tuning, direct your attention to wherever Shikari tells you.
hmm, Death Match, you say... Well, I already have this path for coding processing routines worked out where the first passes are functional scalar code followed by an altivec version. Then the next round involves tweaking and optimizing the scalar and altivec. The scalar probably needs a lot more attention in the second pass, which brings up a question:
This is cross-platform code, the altivec will be #ifdef MACOSX, but what about the scalar optimizations like the load hoisting and loop unrolling?
I'm pretty sure x86 benefits from the loop unrolling, but what about the load hoisting? The code should play well on both architectures, but currently the code written for the x86 side is typical 'crap scalar code' that p4s eat for lunch. Maybe this could be a bit of PPC revenge?

Titans knock off Lions in OT thriller
Nashville, TN – Rob Bironas kicked a field goal in overtime to give Tennessee the lead and the Titans stopped Detroit on fourth down for a 44-41 win over the Lions in a game that saw just about everything.
After watching a 14-point lead evaporate in the final minute of play, including a Hail Mary on the final play of regulation that tied the game for the Lions, the Titans started overtime with the ball and were able to get a 26-yard field goal from Bironas with 10:36 left.
The drive was helped by several penalties on Detroit, including a defensive holding on a third down and a personal foul for a helmet-to-helmet hit on a pass that was ruled incomplete.
The Lions, led by Shaun Hill as Matthew Stafford left late in the game with a pulled muscle in his right leg, came back down the field and a 26-yard catch by Calvin Johnson got the ball into Tennessee territory.
Facing a 4th-and-inches at the Tennessee 7, Detroit opted to go for it. Hill quickly snapped the ball and pushed forward, but he didn't get far enough and the Titans got the win.
"The sneak was just miscommunication," said Detroit head coach Jim Schwartz. "We wanted to draw them off-sides, but the crowd was loud. It was my fault, I should have called a timeout there."
Jake Locker finished with a career-high 378 yards on 29-of-42 passing with two touchdowns and the Titans (1-2) got a touchdown on a punt return, kickoff return, and fumble recovery to win after losing their first two games of the season by a combined 49 points.
Stafford left the game on while trying to chase down Alterraun Verner during a 72-yard fumble return off a strip of Brandon Pettigrew. Stafford finished the game 33-for-42 with 278 yards and a score, while Hill was 10-for-13 with two scores and 172 yards in his limited time.
Johnson had just one catch for six yards in the first half, but finished the game with 10 grabs for 164 yards and a score, while Mikel Leshoure totaled 100 yards and a score on 26 carries and had four catches for 34 yards in his NFL debut for the Lions (1-2), who have dropped two straight after winning their season-opener against St. Louis.
"I've been around a lot of crazy games, but I don't know if I've ever been in one like this," said Schwartz. "We were lucky to even be in the game at the end."
The Titans appeared to have this game wrapped up after Verner's score made it 41-27 with 1:16 to play, but the Lions came roaring back.
Hill needed just seven plays and less than one minute to find the end zone as he hit Johnson in the back from three yards out to make it a one-score game with 18 seconds to play.
The onsides kick was then sent down the right sideline and it bounced through the front line of the Titans before Amari Spievey came up with the ball at the Tennessee 46.
After the first pass fell incomplete, Hill had one chance left and he heaved it into the end zone. Luckily for the Lions, Titans defender Akeem Ayers batted the ball right into the hands of Titus Young and the game went to overtime.
"I can't even explain how happy I am right now," said Ayers. "Just getting the win, we definitely need it and there is no question we can play with any team, any week."
Tennessee started the second half with the ball and an 11-point lead. The team tried to add to it as Bironas lined up for a 41-yard field goal, but he missed it to the left and the Lions took over at their own 31.
Johnson had catches of 28, 18, and nine yards to help set up Leshoure's first career touchdown, a 1-yard run through the middle to make it a 20-16 game with 6:36 to play in the third.
Bironas had made 20 straight field prior to the miss, but he missed for a second straight time on Tennessee's next touch as his 48-yard attempt went wide to the left and Detroit again had good field position.
The Lions got down to the Tennessee eight, but a holding call pushed them back 10 yards and the team wound up settling for a 26-yard field goal from Jason Hanson to make it a one-point game with 12:39 to play in the fourth quarter.
Detroit quickly got a turnover as Kendall Wright was stripped of the ball after a catch and the Lions had it back near midfield. The ninth play of the drive saw Stafford whip a quick pass into the back of the end zone where Nate Burleson caught the ball for a 3-yard score. Burleson then caught the two- point conversion and it was a 27-20 game with 6:53 to play.
Darius Reynaud, though, took the kickoff up the middle, shifted to the right sideline and, helped by a nice block, raced into the end zone on a 105-yard score to tie the game.
After forcing a punt from Detroit, the Titans got the ball back at their own 34. After an illegal motion call, Locker lofted a pass down the left side for Nate Washington, who put his hands behind the defender's back and pulled it over before racing into the end zone on a 71-yard score and a 34-27 lead with just over three minutes to play.
Verner's score with 1:16 left appeared to seal the win, but there was still plenty of football to be played.
Detroit started the game with the ball and got a 47-yard field goal from Hanson for a 3-0 lead 3 1/2 minutes in.
Locker fumbled a snap on a shotgun play on Tennessee's following touch, and the Lions recovered near midfield. The defense held, though, and the Lions again turned to Hanson, who booted a 53-yarder for a 6-0 lead with 6:36 left in the first quarter.
The Titans answered with a nine-play drive that covered 66 yards and the foot of Bironas got the team on the board with a 31-yard field goal for a 6-3 game with 2:02 to play in the first.
Detroit was held to a three-and-out on its next touch, with a reversal of a Johnson catch on an instant replay leading to a punt.
Reynaud fielded the punt towards the left sideline and immediately tossed it over to the right side for Tommie Campbell, who ran untouched into the end zone on a 65-yard score, his first career touchdown, to give the Titans a 10-6 lead with 33 seconds left in the first quarter.
"Before Wednesday, I had never even practiced that play before," said Campbell. "The crazy part is that (Reynaud) threw the ball perfect all week and didn't have one bad throw."
Tennessee's defense continued to stymie the Lions, forcing another three-and- out and getting the ball back at its own 41. Two plays later, Locker hit Jared Cook near the Detroit 30 and he ran it in for a 61-yard score and a 17-6 lead with 13 minutes left in the first half.
The Lions got themselves back on track on their next touch and made it into the Tennessee red zone, but the drive stalled at the 15 and a 33-yard field goal from Hanson made it a 17-9 game with 6:30 left in the half.
With 2:17 to play, the Titans got the ball back at their own 10 and Locker got the ball across midfield himself on a 31-yard run. Bironas got a 38-yard kick through the uprights on the final play to give the Titans a 20-9 lead at the break.
Game Notes
Leshoure had suffered an Achilles injury in 2011 after getting drafted in the second round and was suspended for the first two games of this season ... Cook sat out the second half and overtime with a shoulder injury. He had four catches for 77 yards along with the score ... The teams totaled 1,020 yards of offense, 583 from the Lions ... Tennessee has won the past four games against Detroit.

Collector cruiser
A Collector cruiser is a class of starship that appears in Mass Effect 2 and the Mass Effect anime Paragon Lost. The Collectors use them to kidnap human colonists.
This section is a stub and needs to be completed. You can help by editing this article.
The Collector cruiser has a heat signature similar to the cruisers of other Mass Effect races, as the scan operator of the SSV Normandy quickly classed it as a cruiser, despite its unfamiliar configuration. It's actual volume and mass are much greater, comparable to a dreadnought. Despite its large size, it is capable of landing on a planet's surface.
The Collector cruiser's hull appears to have been built from an asteroid, as large portions of it appear to be natural rock. The basic shape of the ship is a tube, with engines on one end and an enormous weapon port on the other. Much of the ship's interior is a hollow cavern lined with the pods that the Collectors use for transporting captured colonists. Floating platforms allow rapid transport within this space.
The ship is armed with a massive forward proton beam and several smaller side beams. The forward weapon was powerful enough to cripple the SSV Normandy with just a couple of hits. For defense the cruiser uses kinetic barriers of unknown strength. Overall, the ship seems to be designed more as a transport than a warship, despite its powerful weaponry.
The Collector cruiser has a mass effect drive core and a Reaper IFF system that allows it to safely use the Omega 4 mass relay.
The sensor systems of the Collector cruiser are advanced enough to overcome the experimental stealth technology developed by the Systems Alliance.

Gift for Beer Buffs: The $150 Complete Homebrew Kit Beer Sessions
You really don't need much to brew beer at home. A few buckets, some measuring tools, a hose or two, and you're good to go. This basic kit has everything your favorite budding homebrewer needs to get them started and see them through years of brewing - it has for us!
All of this equipment can be purchased at any homebrew or wine-making store. Many places have special deals on starter kits that have most, if not all, of this equipment included. If you can't find a homebrew store in your area, you can order the equipment from websites like Austin Homebrew Supply (//austinhomebrew.com) and Northern Brewer (//www.northernbrewer.com).
For more information on what each of these pieces of equipment is used for, take a look at our walk-through of the homebrewing process. Prices for these things will vary depending on where you go, but they should be close to those mentioned below.
1. Fermentation Bucket with Lid ($15) - Buy a bucket with at least a 5-gallon capacity, and make sure the lid has hole in it for the air lock.
2. Carboy ($25) - Carboys are available in either glass or food-grade plastic. Both have their merits and their drawbacks: glass is easier to sanitize and won't scratch as easily, while plastic is lighter and easier to handle. They'll cost about the same, so go with whichever you prefer. Either way, you want a 5-gallon capacity.
3. Brew Pot (roughly $40) - We'd recommend getting at least a 5-gallon stainless steel pot, as shown here. This is larger than you'll need for an all-extract beer, but perfect for a partial-grain beer. Not to mention your next chili bake-off.
4. Plastic Tubing ($1) - You'll most likely want a tube with a 3/8" internal diameter and that's at least 4 feet long (better too long than too short!). Double-check with the salesperson at the store to make sure you're buying the right sized tubing for your equipment.
5. Airlock ($1) and Carboy Stopper ($1) - Be sure to buy a stopper with a hole drilled through it so the airlock can fit snugly inside.
6. Hydrometer ($6) and Thermometer ($6) - A hydrometer is not the most essential piece of equipment here, but it's key to finding that all-important alcohol-by-volume measurement. Thermometers, on the other hand, really are essential for homebrewing. Make sure to buy one with a long temperature probe so that it will reach the middle of the pot without burning your fingers.
7. Racking Cane ($3) and Bottle Filler ($3) - These two hard plastic tubes make it possible to bottle without having to buy an extra bottling bucket with spigot. (Some people find bottling with a bucket easier, but personally, we'd rather do without another large piece of equipment.)
8. Butterfly Bottle Capper ($16) - A simple and functional way to attach caps to bottles.
9. Bottle Caps ($5 for around 150 caps) - Bottles can be re-used, but caps need to be new every time to create a good seal.
10. The Joy of Homebrewing by Charlie Papazian ($15) - Many of us regard this book as the bible of homebrewing. It guides you through basic and advanced brewing techniques, plus has plenty of other info a beer nerd will love.
There are a few things we didn't include in this kit. You can include them if you're feeling especially generous, or leave it up to your beer buddy to procure.
• Beer Ingredient Kit - You can buy kits in every taste, style, and level of brewing intensity. Rather than try to guess what the giftee might want, we'd recommend letting them choose on their own. Ingredient kits usually run between $20 and $50.
• Sanitizer - Since sanitizers run the gamut in terms of chemicals used, we prefer to leave this up to the individual.
• Bottles - Beer bottles can be reused again and again. We save our commercial beer bottles, remove their labels, and use them for homebrewing.
Is there anything else you'd recommend including in a basic beer brewing kit?
We're grateful to Smithwick's Irish Ale, celebrating their 300 year anniversary, for this homebrewing kit. Apartment Therapy Media makes every effort to test and review products fairly and transparently. The views expressed in this review are the personal views of the reviewer and this particular product review was not sponsored or paid for in any way by the manufacturer or an agent working on their behalf. However, the manufacturer did give us the product for testing and review purposes.

"Backwards baseball cap guy" rolls into the blaring listening to " let the bodies hit the floor." He then stomps into to the bar and orders a Mich Ultra, as we do not want too many carbs. He then posts up shop at the end of the bar scanning the crowd, just waiting for someone to look at him the wrong way and it's on!!

Even with all its ups and downs, 2012 was a pretty amazing year — especially if you're lucky enough to count yourself a DMV resident. Just think back on all the awesome new stores, restos, and bars that opened; the inspiring, world-class art events that took place; and the quirky, nowhere-but-here occasions that make the nation's capital feel truly special.
Since we're feeling a little nostalgic these days (an extra serving of eggnog will do that to ya), we've decided to relive our favorite memories, highlighting what we think made D.C. a truly amazing place to live. From top-notch shopping to cultural swagger to, yes, even football, here's what made our year rock.

Reflections from my recent trip to the DRC to start a new Lifewater project.
My time in the Democratic Republic of the Congo reminded me of Benin, of a time in life when I spent my summers in a small village in the bush doing water research and living a rather simple life. The places themselves were quite different, as was my work, and my companions. But, at its core, there was something so oddly and wonderfully familiar, something that made me smile over and over again.
Maybe it had something to do with pulling my very rough, very 'bush' French out of the drawer it had been stored in. Or maybe it was the sounds of the bush at night that were louder than any sound maker you would put in your room. Or maybe it was food that was new, but the spices familiar. Or maybe it was the people, a character about them that brought to mind old conversations. Or maybe it was the red dirt roads lacking motorized vehicle traffic. Or maybe it was the cloth that was full of colors. Or maybe it was bathing out of a bucket (though, sadly, not under the stars). Whatever it was, it was familiar.
This was a wonderful trip of beginning new and exciting work in a new place that had a little taste of home. Stay tuned in the months to come to hear more about this program. We are designing rain tanks and latrines for primary schools that have neither, and we will have to build a classroom for the rain tanks because the wood and mud rooms with thatch roofs that currently exist will not work. It is so exciting to be working in a new place, one where people are eager to join hands to solve their own problems. A place that is remote enough that you do not see other NGOs. It demands imagination and persistence, and those are available to us. One step at a time, we will work together and change the WASH situation and change the health of the children in this place that is new but feels so familiar to me.
A little bonus for me: traveling in fun, little planes.

My husband came home one day
with a headband he had found in a parking lot (I know...sooo sanitary)
and said "I bet you could make one of these"
so I did...because I'm all for stealing awesome ideas.
Difficulty: Medium
Time: 30 minutes
Cost: Under $10
Fun-ness: Why would I do a boring project?
Yarn (100% cotton for a crisp look, acrylic for a softer look)
Size H or J hook
Ribbon (approximately 1/2 inch wide)
Hot Glue Gun
Step 1: Creating the Chains
Crochet 2 separate chains of the same color. One should be approximately 160 chains long (the short one). The other should be approximately 300 chains long (the long one). Fold both chains into thirds, and then fold each chain in half (like a rainbow). Play with the ends until they are about even.
Step 3: Prepping the strands:
Step 2: Tying your knot
This is a little hard to explain, so I've made picture directions...
Step 3: Prepping the strands:
Hot glue each of the individual strands to one another in a row. Once they are secure, chop off the uneven ends with scissors, leaving a nice straight end. Do this to the other side as well.
Step 4: Attaching your ribbons
Cut your ribbon into 4 pieces - two 4inch strands, two 15inch strands. Glue one of the 15 inch strands onto the end of your crocheted headband. Wrap the strand with one of the 4 inch pieces, hot gluing as you go; this will give it a finished look. Repeat on the other side. Once done, melt the ribbon ends with a stove burner (or lighter) to keep from fraying.
And that's it!
So wear your headband with pride! And when someone asks, tell them you are awesome, and made it yourself!
Love the headband, but don't want to make it yourself? Don't fret, because I'm selling them over at my Etsy Shop!

Linocuts by Catherine Deeson
When we were in college, printing class was one of our favorites. Linocut was the first printing technique that we learned. It is similar to woodcut, but it is much easier to master as linoleum is softer material to cut into. Catherine Deeson makes some beautiful linocuts. Check them out after the jump...
The Lighthouse piece is the one that got our attention. We love the shape of the waves and the lovely poem that works so well with the illustration. Catherine also makes cards and canvas bags. Visit her website to see all her products.
We came across Catherine Deeson's work on Tea For Joy.

What? Serenity wasn't a good movie?
There will be an Avengers panel next Saturday at NY Comic Con. Chris Evans will reportedly take part, as will Kevin Feige.
And Cobie Smulders!
Quote from: Master_Phruby on October 11, 2011, 01:28 PMWhat? Serenity wasn't a good movie?I thought Serenity was great, and I liked his work with most of Buffy and Angel as well. I also read somewhere that he was an assistant director or something on Thor. Those credentials are enough to give me faith...
So why does Hulk need a third actor for this movie? I assume the first 2 of those movies sucked so bad they didn't want to be in this super hero party movie?
From what I read Edward Norton wasn't getting along with someone (no idea who) and they just decided to not use him again. He was allegedly up for reprising the roll.
Quote from: Rob on October 11, 2011, 04:02 PMFrom what I read Edward Norton wasn't getting along with someone (no idea who) and they just decided to not use him again. He was allegedly up for reprising the roll.I heard Norton was a pain to work with while filming his Hulk movie, and they decided not to hire him. I don't think either previous Hulk fits well with the continuity, so I'm fine with a reboot of the character.
Negotiations between Norton and Marvel eventually broke down, and the role was instead offered to Mark Ruffalo, who accepted. Norton wrote a public response to the decision on his Facebook page, stating that he will not be appearing in The Avengers, but thanked Marvel Studios for considering letting him reprise the role.
I'm sure I'm way in the minority on a site like this, but I watched the Firefly series because a buddy insisted that I do so, and outside of Nathan Fillion being his usual funny self, I thought it was horrible.
