Narcissism and Youth Unemployment
Here are some new, very sobering figures.
- Only 57% of [recent grads] are currently working full-time.
- 43% of recent grads who have a job are working at a job that does not require a four-year degree.
- Only 19% think Social Security will still exist by the time they retire.
- 33% live with their parents.
- 55% of recent graduates have applied to 5 or fewer full-time jobs since graduation (courtesy of Entry Level Rebel.)
There are many reasons for these disturbing figures. As I pointed out in another article, many of their expectations and behaviors, as well as the dysfunctional behaviors of their parents, contribute to this grim reality.
There is a very real psychological issue that exists among some Millennials, however, and it is part of the employment issue: narcissism and youth unemployment go hand-in-hand these days. Here is the story of one such individual who applied for a job with us.
We had been searching for an individual to train as a career coach. We received several applications — few of them qualified. We found someone whom we hired and who is doing well at her new job. However, some of the resumes and cover letters we received in this process are indicative of why some young people are unemployed. With identifying information taken out, I'm sharing a bit of one I received. Be aware resumes and cover letters sent to employers or given out during networking or on a job search are not confidential information, although I've taken out names and identifying information to protect the guilty.
To start with, she wrote the cover letter "To Whom It May Concern," even though she had our names and our website. Very lazy and rude. Never write a cover letter "To Whom It May Concern." Take the time to find out the individual to whom the cover letter should be sent.
Then it started to get very amusing:
Greetings! My name is Jane Doe and I am a second year Graduate Student at [local, well known and well respected University], getting ready to enter into my third. My background rests within the Customer Service and Beauty Industry, and I am very much looking for a career path that tailors more to my area of study and expertise, which is Professional Communication with a concentration in Corporate Training and Development.
So far so good, although her beauty industry background is irrelevant to the position for which she is applying. And we don't have (and didn't have) a position in "Corporate Training and Development." Make sure you know what the position title is for which you're applying. But it looks hopeful, so far.
I graduated from [local University] in 2005 with a Bachelor's Degree in Criminology Studies. When a career in [Business] wasn't for me, I decided to pursue a Graduate Degree that related to my desire to help people, but I didn't want to pursue an advanced [Business] Degree. Instead, I wanted to work with people in helping them to advance and develop their potential. When Education and Social Work wasn't (sic) the answer, I decided to give Professional Communications a try because it sounded like it would be a good fit for me. Shortly thereafter, I found Corporate Training and Development compelling and enticing because not only was the money decent, but it gives me a level of inspiration and knowledge that worked for me and my personality traits.
OK, not too bad, but, really, would you hire this person? She obviously does not have a clue what she wants to do in life. She is going to give "Professional Communications a try." A try. But then she finds Corporate Training and Development (something we do very little of) enticing because a). "the money is decent," b). it gives her a level of inspiration and knowledge," and c). it works for "me and my personality traits."
She's, therefore, looking at something that we don't really do, and is coming aboard because it might tickle her fancy, which seems to change more often than I change my shirt (and, yes, I change my shirt at least daily, before you ask…). The narcissism in this paragraph makes her a very risky bet for any employer to hire and, probably, a waste of time for any employer to interview. Of course, she doesn't see it that way. She thinks she is entitled to an interview and a good job. This is obvious in her phraseology. Make sure that you don't give the employer too much information, for one thing. For another, stick with something for a while. Employers need to see some stability.
But it gets weirder, yet. Here we go into la-la land…
With a Sun in Scorpio and a double Libra Moon and Rising, my personality is considered to be very diplomatic, extremely tolerant and indubiously (sic) fair. Since Libra is the sign of the scales, my emotions are strongly committed to harmony and justice, thus I strive to constantly have these elements around me at all times by exhibiting peace loving behaviours (sic) and exercising people pleasing actions in order to attain such a balance. But watch out, for when my Scorpio Sun is out, it's a whole other ballgame! Despite my inner Liberality and calm exterior, beneath lies a driven, powerful Scorpio that will let you know when she has had had (sic) enough. It is this part of my personality that I contribute my tough interior that displays actions I like to describe as a form of "tough love" when (sic) such mindset and duty are necessary. It is also this point of my personality that the ever charming Libra tongue has been temporarily taken over by that of the Sharp Scorpion; ready to exhibit clear, vivid, and sometimes not always nice connotations of how I see things as they seem fit to the situation at hand. (Misspellings and other typos are hers. This section I did not redact because I don't know enough astrology to change anything. Besides, I can't make this stuff up!)
I don't even know where to start on this one. Not only are there some misspellings and a clear neglect of the English language (from someone who is supposed to be a Master's Level in Communications!), but astrological information in a cover letter. Her inclusion of questionable material such as astrology proves that her judgment is terrible. And her description of herself paints a picture of someone who is not employable by any moderately sane employer. But wait! There's more!
While I am honestly not completely sure if I want to be a part of your company (mind you I don't even work there at this point in time), my interest in career coaching is strong and I would be willing to give your company a chance, providing the company is willing to give me a chance. From it appears, the Heckers seem like lovely people and very strong to work for. As an employee, I look for an employer that possesses toughness and fairness in balanced and equal proportions. It is with this statement that I humbly ask for your consideration for employment at Heckers, LLC.
Wow! She's "willing to give [our] company a chance." Isn't that gracious of her. She does not tell us one reason why we should look at her, nor anything that she would do for our company. She, again, speaks only of what she wants. She speaks about what she looks for in an employer, not what she can offer as an employee. She doesn't even bother to get the name of the company right, nor its organizational structure… we're a corporation, not an LLC. We're "Heckers Development Group, LTD," not "Heckers, LLC." Hint: At the very least get the company name right. Not doing so is not only rude, but it assures that the employer will just hit "delete" for your application.
I'm not going to reproduce the resume, but it was as equally bad as the cover letter, though not quite as amusing.
What's even worse is that the career counselor at her University and the individual who referred her defended this clearly narcissistic and unqualified candidate. This is incredibly dysfunctional enabling behavior, but not unheard of on the part of older adults who are "responsible" for the Millennials who are clueless.
To avoid embarrassment to either the University or the applicant, I have changed the names and substituted fictitious names. But I assure you this cover letter is the real thing. I will say one thing. At least her cover letter was memorable, but not in the way one might want.
On the other side, we have a Millennial generation woman who started in the career coach trainee position May 16. She is very well qualified, wrote an engaging and thorough cover letter (which was spell and grammar checked), and has an impressive resume. She is working out tremendously well, and has a fantastic work ethic. Additionally, I spent an hour and a half with a young woman (Millennial again) a couple of weeks ago who was incredibly impressive. She asked if she could network with me and ask me some questions. I was happy to help.
Our fantastic and highly competent technical guy is a Millennial. He is one of the hardest working and most customer service oriented people I have the privilege to know. So it isn't that I "have it out" for Millennials. But there are some realities.
Those Millennials who want to work (and many don't even try) are going to have to make it less about them and more about the companies for which they're working. No one is entitled to a job… no one.
Millennials need to learn to play by the rules of the business world, not insist that the business world conform to their world. Many Millennials understand this. Some don't. Those who don't are going to have a very hard time in life. Those who do will kick butt.
Most importantly, older adults in the lives of Millennials have got to stop defending them when they are out of line. Most people, from time to time, need a reality check or even a confrontation on their behaviors. I do. You do. And Millennials do. We are failing these young adults by protecting them from the realities of the work and real worlds. Sooner or later, they'll have to face these realities. It is easier to do this at 25 than at 45, or even 55.
I'm truly disappointed this wasn't just a joke played on me by someone I know who was getting back at me for my Millennial articles. I am also quite concerned for this young woman. Sooner or later she, too, will have to face the real world. I'm afraid her teachers, counselors and "mentors" have ill-prepared her for it.

Training - best mobile couch?
Hi There
I'm about to start an ITEC Diploma in massage and later, Indian Head massage and I want to purchase a mobile couch. There seem to be huge differences in price - some at £50 on ebay others (seemingly the same) at nearer £200 on dedicated websites. Can you offer any advice on the best type to get? I'm a 5'10" female and obviously want to take care of my own back!
If I take out your free student membership now can I add the £33 for insurance at a later date? My course may cover us for this and I don't want to pay out twice?
Many thanks
Nicky Sadler

|Hi Nicky,
With regards to your student membership and insurance, if your college is going to cover you for your case studies and you will not be undertaking any case studies outside of the college, you will not need to take out separate insurance. If you do wish to take out separate student insurance you can contact Holistic Insurance Services directly on 01327 354 249 at any point.
Kind Regards,

|Hi Nicky,
This was discussed in the For Sale section recently:
I have no problem with my PortaLite Delta and I am 5'9.
Happy shopping,

Too tired for much explanation. But I finished and photographed the second outfit! So enjoy some selected pictures from the 68 photo sequence. I'm no longer doing these as animation. Instead, I'm simply hanging the pictures, printed at 4" x 6" in a grid in sequence. It gives the same feeling of progression as the animation. This allows people to spend more time on the images, rather than trying to catch them as they go by. In addition, it has a feeling of 'production' (i.e: reference photos taken in movie production.)

2013, Denis Villeneuve (Incendies) -- download
The Dovers (Hugh Jackman & Maria Bello) are friends and neighbours with the Birches (Terrence Howard & Viola Davis), spending the Thanksgiving holiday together in a rainy, tired subdivision. The kids are bored, either lost in TV or running around outside. Then, as the cliche goes, every parent's worst nightmare happens and the youngest children are abducted. An obviously out of place RV leads investigators to Paul Dano's Alex, an obviously damaged young man. They are convinced he took the kids but cannot get anything out of him. Thus begins Keller Dover's descent, as he takes the investigation out of the hands of Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) and into his own bloodied fists.
At its heart, this movie is a standard genre crime movie, investigating the disappearance of two girls with some frustrating police procedural tossed in. Loki is good, too good for this small police department and he takes his frustrations out by bullying the Captain. But it is how this movie is wrapped that makes it pretty damned good. The main characters are its centre. Loki, obviously a man of violence from his old, faded tattoos works the case chained by protocol and fact. The more he is stonewalled, the more he blinks. Keller, a good, right Christian man, finds the violence within to actually dig out the truth. It is as chilling as the wet snow they slog through. When truths finally reveal, they shock both men, if not the viewers -- we are jaded, crime junkies while these play the part of real people for us.

Are you ready for the most exhilarating walk of your life?
Oxfam Ireland today launched TRAILTREKKER 2011, one of the world's most ambitious team challenges involving a non-stop 100km or 50km trek through the Mourne Mountains to Carlingford. This walk is tough but whether you choose the 100km or the 50km trek the experience will be exhilarating. A unique feature of this year's TRAILTREKKER is the introduction of the 50km trek. Choose your challenge and help change lives in developing countries.
Dr. Mark Hamilton, presenter of RTE's Health of the Nation, has participated in TRAILTREKKER: "My team, How Long Will You Walk, completed the 100km trek. I would highly encourage anyone who enjoys personal and team challenges to take part in TRAILTREKKER – it is a truly unique and epic trek."
Taking place on September 10th-11th, the Oxfam TRAILTREKKER trail is a specially designed route that starts in Newcastle, Co. Down before traversing the Mourne Mountains, the Ring of Gullion and the Cooley Peninsula and finishing in the medieval village of Carlingford. This cross-border route encompasses some of Ireland's most stunning landscapes and is steeped in Irish mythology.
Oxfam Ireland's TRAILTREKKER is also part of a growing global phenomenon. There are now fifteen events in twelve different countries. Since TRAILTREKKER began in 1981 in Hong Kong, over 32,000 teams (128,000 individuals) have collectively walked over 11.5 million kilometres (the same distance as walking around the world 287 times!), becoming great ambassadors for Oxfam's work and raising over £61 million.
TRAILTREKKER is now in its third year in Ireland and over the past two years it raised over £610,000 towards Oxfam Ireland's work, helping to make real and practical differences to the lives of people in the developing world. £610,000 is the equivalent of Oxfam Ireland's entire livelihoods programme spend in Malawi and Uganda in 2010. These programmes include everything from supporting projects that increase agricultural production in sustainable ways, addressing the consequences of climate change, strengthening access to markets for scale producers, especially women, and working with people affected by HIV and AIDS.
Oxfam Ireland's Events Manager, Grace O'Neill says: "TRAILTREKKER will test your determination, stamina, dedication and camaraderie and anyone with a moderate level of fitness can train to take part. You'll experience a massive sense of achievement, not only on a personal level but also as a team. Your trekking achievements will bring real change to some of the poorest communities in the world, as all the funds raised by TRAILTREKKER will enable Oxfam Ireland to carry out its work in east, central and southern Africa. Go on, choose your challenge and sign up today".

BlueGen is a French non-profit organization created in 2016 in order to establish the first international trans-sectoral platform for blue business, employment and education.
Despite its enormous potential to our global economy, the concept of blue economy remains vague and unknown to key stakeholders such as investors, bankers, consumers, politicians, media, and, most importantly, the future generations which will inevitably have to take the lead in the years to come.
In light of this reality, BlueGen has four main objectives:
Raise awareness about the diversity of blue careers, education programmes, as well as the benefits of the blue economy
Showcase the blue industry's most innovative products and services
Support 'blue' university networks and multidisciplinary centers of excellence
Strengthen employability by ensuring that education programmes correspond with industry needs.
BlueGen will be the entity organizing the BlueGen events (see below) and the BioMarine Business Convention
Once a year, BlueGen in collaboration with the BioMarine© Business Convention will organize MyBlueCity©, an immersive platform which will be composed of:
This is a smaller version of MyBlueCity with only two or three districts and without the BioMarine Business Convention. Multiple showrooms will occur every year in different European cities. A demo can run throughout the year and finish with the MyBlueCity event of that year.
Within a preexistent event and sponsored by one company or a public partner, a one hour live streamed workshop is designed to gather key stakeholders around a pre-determined topic in order to identify industry challenges and potential avenues of cooperation.
Contact us now to bring YOUR international platform for blue economy business, education and employment to YOUR city.

Anyways, I watched this movie yesterday, The number 23.
For those who have wacthed
The eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and
the butterfly effect
would definately enjoy it.
It's basically how the world revolves around the number 23.

Thinking if was nonsense
"Haneesha, why isn't Merdeka on August 23rd 1923?"
UNTIL Chee Chiang pointed out that 2 to the power of 3 is 8

Even Nav just told me his house number 23
and the first two digits on his moms car number plate is 23
His tuition teachers grandfather passed away on the 23rd

With AIM 4.5, users can send and receive text messages and participate in private or group chat rooms, AOL said in a statement. In addition, with AIM's Buddy List feature, a user can see when friends and co-workers are online, providing the user has added them to his or her private list. Other features include the ability to allow only certain people to see when a user is online, automatic alerts when new e-mail arrives in a user's mailbox providing AOL Mail is used, and customised news and stock quotes.
When asked when the final version of AIM 4.5 for Mac OS X will be released, AOL spokeswoman Jane Lennon said: "We haven't got a date yet. We will continue testing it. Each product is different."
There are 84 million registered AIM users in the world, according to AOL estimates. These are users for all platforms; AOL doesn't have numbers of users broken down for different platforms, Lennon said.
Lennon could not say how many new AIM users AOL is expecting following Friday's beta release.
Internet service provider AOL is a wholly owned subsidiary of media giant AOL Time Warner, Inc., and based in Dulles, Virginia.
Apple's long-awaited Mac OS X was released on March 24. The new version of the free AIM 4.5 service can be downloaded by Mac users at www.aol.com/aim, AOL said in a statement.

IN the days of lace-ruffles, perukes and brocade
Brown Bess was a partner whom none could despise
An out-spoken, flinty-lipped, brazen-faced jade,
With a habit of looking men straight in the eyes
At Blenheim and Ramillies fops would confess
They were pierced to the heart by the charms of Brown Bess.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
Hymns Supplied Through the Gracious Generosity
of the Cyber Hymnal Website
Words: Martin Luther, 1523 (Ein neues Lied wir heben an); translated from German to English by John A. Messenger. John Julian wrote of the hymn's origin:
On June 23, 1523, two young Augustinian monks, Heinrich Voes and Johann Esch, from Antwerp, had been, after examination by the Cologne Inquisitor, Jacob von Hogstraten, and at the instigation of the Louvain professors, condemned to death and burnt at the stake in Brussels. On receipt of the news of this first martyrdom for the Evangelical cause Luther's spirit was fired, and he wrote this spirited narrative, ending with the prophetic words [translated by Richard Massie, 1854]:
Summer is even at our door,
The winter now hath vanished,
The tender flowerets spring once more,
And He, Who winter banished,
Will send a happy Summer.
Music: "Ibstone," Maria Tiddeman
Flung to the heedless winds,
Or on the waters cast,
The martyrs' ashes, watched,
Shall gathered be at last.
And from that scattered dust,
Around us and abroad,
Shall spring a plenteous seed,
Of witnesses for God.
The Father hath received,
Their latest living breath,
And vain is Satan's boast,
Of victory in their death.
Still, still, though dead, they speak,
And, trumpet tongued, proclaim,
To many a wakening land,
The one availing Name.

The Greens Foodfare sponsored Lisburn Mini Rugby section continued their season on Saturday 26th September 2015 with the visit of Banbridge mini rugby section to Eglantine Road. Banbridge brought players from P2 through to P7.
On a delightful autumn morning the two clubs teams played several matches against each other with evenly fought matches throughout.
This was the first competitive match for the Lisburn P2 section which is made up of a mixture of players from last year's "Cygnets" along with a number of new members.
The P2 boys and girls took to competitive games with tremendous enthusiasm and are looking forward to many more games to come through the season.
Throughout the rest of the age groups, all the games were played in a competitive and fair manner with everyone enjoying the fine playing conditions.
Banbridge brought enough players in each age section for 2 teams which allowed all the players to enjoy a prolonged period of game time.
In the P7 section, the Lisburn numbers have been swelled by 6 new members and these new players took part in a competitive game for the first time. They can be very proud of their efforts.
The season continues on Saturday 3rd October with the first away fixture at Armagh. Kick off is at 9:30am at the Palace Grounds, Armagh. All support is welcome.

Many people earnestly seek after a cure to the common cold. Many turn to exotic herbs and spices, some to vitamin C and hand sanitizer, and some simply try to sleep it away. Whatever your solution to this winter-time illness, there is a recipe that can help alleviate your sniffles.
My family and I have always been big fans of Chinese food. We love frequenting all of our local Chinese food restaurants. My mom, being the good wife that she is, keeps close tabs on what helps my dad when he isn't feeling well. When he's feeling sick and having respiratory problems, my mom knows instantly what to give him: the spicy Chinese dish of General Tang's Chicken.
Now, we've all had a bad case of the sniffles for a couple days, and I had a hankering for Chinese food. Being the poor college student that I am, it's difficult to justify buying a large Chinese dinner. So I took the cheaper route: do-it-yourself Chinese food. I went flipping through one of our Chinese cookbooks, and what should I find? One of our favorite dishes! So, feeling a little experimental, I decided to cook it. After having cooked it and served it, it turned out to be just as good as the stuff you find at a Chinese restaurant, if not better because it was made to our special order. Everyone agreed: this was exactly what the doctor ordered. Everyone needed the tissues that night. Our sinuses were kept nice and clear. And now, for you, I have the recipe I used:
2 TBSPs Cornstarch
1/2 cup Water
1 TSP Garlic Powder
1 TSP Ground Ginger
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup White Vinegar
1/4 cup White Cooking Wine (Sherry can also be used for a sweeter and less biting
1 1/2 cup Hot Chicken Broth (Mix 1 1/2 cups hot water with 1 1/2 tsp Chicken
3 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast or Thigh, cut into chunks (About 2 or 3
large breasts)
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1 TSP Pre-ground Pepper (White or Black doesn't matter)
1 Egg
1 cup Cornstarch
Oil for frying (Crisco works the best, as it browns the chicken, nicely)
1 TBSP Dried, Crushed Red Peppers OR 16 Dried, Hot Peppers
2 cups Sliced Green Onions
Mix cornstarch with water. Add garlic, ginger, sugar, 1/2 cup soy sauce, vinegar, wine, and chicken broth. Stir until sugar dissolves. Refrigerate until needed.
In a separate bowl, mix chicken, 1/4 cups soy sauce, and pepper. Stir in egg. Add 1 cup cornstarch and mix until chicken pieces are coated evenly.
In frying pan or cast-iron skillet, heat up about 1/2" of Crisco, then drop individual pieces of chicken into oil, so as the pieces don't stick to each other. After frying all chicken, drain excess oil on a paper towel.
Pour sauce mixture into frying pan with dried peppers and cook until thick and gooey. Sauce should reach a boil. Add chicken and cook for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve with steamed rice. Yields six to eight servings, depending on how much your guests love your food.

Department of Mechanical & Production Engineering, National University of Singapore, 10 Kent Ridge Cresent, Singapore 0511
The article presents a method for obtaining motions with minimal joint torques for redundant mechanical manipulators. The existing methods based on the local resolution of redundancy do not guarantee that singular configurations, which lead to large joint torques and joint accelerations, will also be avoided while optimizing joint torques. For the present method, the degrees of redundancy are resolved at the global level. It is observed that motions with optimal joint torques are usually associated with large joint speeds and joint accelerations, compared with the joint speeds and joint accelerations for motions with minimal joint speeds or joint accelerations. To overcome this problem, the optimization criterion for minimal joint torques is modified by combining it separately with the optimization criteria for both minimal joint speeds and minimal joint accelerations. The resulting optimal motions, with smaller joint speeds and joint accelerations, are achieved at the expense of having larger joint torques.

The UN's executive secretary on biodiversity claims that young people's fascination with electronic gadgets, video games, TV and the internet is keeping them from learning about nature - and the need to protect it. He said studies show kids spend 95% of their free time on TV and computers and only 5% outdoors. He said, "They don't see how a potato is grown. They just see potatoes on a shelf in the supermarket".
- No they don't! They're in the car listening to their iPod while their mom is in the store looking at the potatoes!
- Doesn't "Farmville" on Facebook count?
- I think kids should learn about potatoes the old fashioned way… buy them a plastic "Mr. Potato Head".

More power in less space
26 September 2013
The new compact Hawker XFC, powerbloc and powerbloc dry batteries from EnerSys are designed for smaller motive power applications that need high performance and long running times with reduced operating costs and enhanced sustainability.
The Hawker XFC battery is suitable for applications that require ongoing machine availability. It can be recharged very quickly and for short periods whenever required, such as during breaks or while drivers carry out other tasks, without affecting life-time performance.
The batteries incorporate thin-plate-pure-lead technology which has high energy density coupled with the fast charge capability. Plates are thinner than the lead-antimony grids used in traditional motive power batteries enabling them to deliver up to 20% more power.
The Hawker XFC battery is said to take up 20% less space than a conventional battery with the same capacity. This enables OEMs to integrate smaller batteries into novel designs or provide additional performance in existing models. The battery can be supplied as a single 12V unit or assembled into larger packs for specific applications. It supports high energy throughput of up to 300 per cent of C5 every 24 hours when kept within 80 per cent depth of discharge.
EnerSys also offers a full range of powerbloc and powerbloc dry monobloc batteries for light, medium and heavy duty applications. They offer a choice of performance characteristics for operators and OEMs to match the battery to their particular application and duty-cycle requirement or replace poor-performing batteries in existing equipment.

Is Southeast Asian Islam Unique?
Date & Time
Thursday 17 August, 13:30 – 15:00
South School
Chair: Dato' Afifi al-Akiti (University of Oxford)
Discussants: Ismail Alatas (New York University), Kevin Fogg (University of Oxford), Mulaika Hijjas (SOAS, University of London), Dominik Mueller (Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology)
Roundtable abstract
Nusantara Islam in Southeast Asia has been commonly projected as being more 'inclusive' and 'moderate' compared to Islam practiced in other parts of the Muslim world. For example, this perspective has been employed to explain Indonesia's status as one of the most democratic countries in the Muslim world – where Muslim women and religious minorities have held leadership positions. However, many conservative Southeast Asian Muslims dismiss the idea that there are substantive differences between Southeast Asian Islam and Islam from the Middle Eastern heartland – and decline to acknowledge diversity and pluralism within Islam. This Roundtable explores whether Nusantara Islam is relatively unique. It considers the impact of syncretic Islam and the influences of Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as the secularising influences of colonialism and the post-colonial state. Other factors that will be considered include the post-colonial constitutional status of Islam, status of sharia and Islamic courts, citizenship rights of women and religious minorities, impact of Arabic cultural assimilation and salafi Islam, politicisation of Islam, theological leadership (in support of and rejection of Nusantara Islam) and the influence of (moderate, conservative and radical) Muslim community organisations. The Roundtable critically examines the way by which Nusantara Islam has been conceptualised and the limits of this regional Islamic identity.

This morning on the weather channel it was confirmed yet again that Louisville is due for another round of wintery weather sometime this weekend. My disappointment is even obvious to the cat at this point. He mocks me by using my bike as a rubbing post for his back (Damn you kitty). It is so nice to know that my perfectly sized road bike doubles as a cat toy. They never mentioned that in the marketing packet! Accepting that Louisville may never have green grass or visible asphalt has caused me to fantasize longingly for next weekend. In fact, it is the only thing that keeps me going right now.
This time next week, I should be loading up the car for a get-a-way weekend to the North American Handbuilt Bike Show (NAHBS) hosted in Richmond, Virginia (Virginia is for lovers…bike lovers, that is). Only six hours separates me from a Mecca of bicycles, dealers, and craftsmen who have spent years if not a great portion of their lives crafting handmade bicycles. This is not a flea market where mismatched Huffy's are sold along side discontinued Beanie Babies. No, this is a tradeshow with thousands of people hovering over hundreds of bikes each artistically made by hand. You will not see Huffy, Diamonback, or even Trek booths. What you will see instead are a slew of small shops from all over the country displaying some of their finest works.
Because of my lust for something so finely crafted, not only am I attending the show, but I will be the personal assistant to the director of the show. I admit, I was incredibly excited to learn about this. What better way to quench your lust for such beautiful bicycles than to put yourself in the middle of the action. The parents did not raise a shy kid—so I will be all over the showroom and God knows I will talk to anyone about a bike. Although it is painfully obvious that this show is attended mostly by male cycling enthusiasts, I have no qualms being one of the notably insane chicks that will be pouring over brazing techniques, color swatches, while inspecting various tubing choices. I will drool over finely crafted leather saddles, ergonomic handlebar grips, and the tiny details that make these bikes truly works of art. It is more than color schemes and paint chips…it is about the craftsmanship that goes into it.
There is a saying about champagne taste on a beer budget. I actually prefer beer to champagne but when you are fortunate enough to own a custom bike, it is hard to ever look at anything stock again. Truth be told, I do not even have the budget for beer which is why attending this show is so important. It is about imagining the cycling world without limits and what you would do if someone handed you thousands of dollars that you HAD to spend on a bike. Any fanatic can spew off exactly how they would spec out their dream bike in seconds if you ask them.
Somehow I also like to imagine that if I spend two days pouring and ogling bikes, it will be the equivalent as if I had actually put myself on a bike. Yeah, I know that is not true but it is just easier if I lie to my thighs right now.

With a dark ruby/purple color, silky tannin, and abundant quantities of licorice, graphite, chocolate, espresso, black currant, truffle, and earthy characteristics, it comes across like a hypothetical blend of a top-notch Pauillac and Graves."

Blood Orange - You're Not Good Enough
So 80's it hurts (in a good way).
Lorde - Royals
Initially I wasn't sure what to make of Lorde.
After listening to the album, and reading a few interviews, I've decided she's pretty damn cool.
She's the same age as me and, judging by her lyrics, sounds incredibly wise.
I feel a little bit intimidated by the girl already.
Metronomy - I'm Aquarius
I can't express how happy I am that Metronomy are bringing us new material next March.
I loved 'The English Riviera', and this sounds just as good so far.
Charlie Boyer and the Voyeurs - Evil Mothers
Bizarre song title, but another great release from these guys.
Temples - Mesmerise
Another band who consistently produce great music.
Their debut album is released in March, and should be a good'un by the sounds of things.
I'm very excited.
Circa Waves - Get Away
The first single from Liverpool newcomers Circa Waves.
Keep your eyes peeled for more information on these guys soon!
Childhood - Pinball
Showcasing a darker, heavier side to Childhood.
It was recorded in just one day, as part of producer Dan Carey's 'Speedy Wunderground' project.

Things to Consider in Selecting the Best Apartment for Rent
Renting an apartment is a thing that is not at all done regularly, whether it be daily or yearly, by any average existing person. If you happen to be currently renting an apartment, then you know that you it takes a lot of time before you are able to find yet another one to rent. And you will then be only placed in a spot where you do not have the faintest of ideas as regards what to expect in choosing an apartment. When it comes to deciding on which place you can live, there are a number of things you must take note of. In the end, what really matters most with your decision is your value in addition to your personal taste.
In comparison to old apartment complexes, it is crucial to keep in mind that there are certain amenities being offered in most modern apartment complexes. When finding an apartment for rent that is in keeping with your needs, it is crucial that you are able to take a closer look at their available amenities. Will you and your family be making use of the pool the apartment building offers? Is being able to access the apartment gym 24/7 one of your topmost amenities? If you talk about the modern type of apartments, you should know that they come with both amenities as well as security departments, laundry facilities, community rooms, volleyball pits, and even tennis courts.
Is it okay to go for older apartments for rent?
Overwhelmed by the Complexity of Sales? This May Help
If you decide to get the older kind of apartments, then you should get ready to face a lot of issues. If you choose older apartments that range in age from the seventies to the sixties, then issues such as air conditioning and loud heating are always expected. Furthermore, most heat pumps are then installed in the closet of the bedrooms. Furthermore, for light sleepers, older apartment design can lead to sleeping problems. A lot of people who have tried renting this type of apartment only spend their time living in the place to finish their lease and by the time they are finished, they immediately get out. If you are after resting in your apartment, then never choose this kind of apartment because you truly cannot rest.
Learning The "Secrets" of Apartments
What are converted apartment buildings?
Currently, there is a trend ongoing in the market where old establishments such as school houses and old colleges are turned into apartments. Despite the fact that they can look unappealing on the outside, once the apartment conversion is done, they are actually quite luxurious and spacious places to live in. If you talk about apartments in big cities, it has become very appealing for a lot of people to be living in old buildings comprising luxurious one-of-a-kind apartments.

Reunion: Spiritual or Materialistic?
Reads: 316 | Likes: 0 | Shelves: 0 | Comments: 1
Short Story by: Craig Davison
He stood outside the house and reluctantly pressed the doorbell. He thought about retreat, but could see through the etched glass a figure approaching. Too late, he thought. A woman in her late thirties opened it.
"It's Hunter, isn't it? I hardly recognized you. Come in." He entered and followed her down the hall. "Karl's in the study finishing some work. I'll tell him you're here. Just wait in the lounge room. He won't be long."
He sat down and inspected the room, which was opulent but not ostentatious – tastefully unassuming. He heard voices from another room and then Karl appeared at the door.
"Hunter, you old cunt. How are you? Would you like a glass of wine?"
"Yes please."
"White or red? I've just opened a nice Shiraz, or would you prefer a Chardonnay?"
" I'd prefer white."
"Chardonnay it is. I won't be a minute." Hunter began to examine the room more closely. There were classical CDs in the rack, House and Garden and home decorating magazines filled the shelves of the bookcases.
"Here you go, mate," Karl said as he handed him the glass.
"Thanks … mate," he replied with some difficulty.
"How long has it has it been, Hunt? Eight years?"
"I was just wondering that myself. I think it's more like ten."
"Ten years. That long. What have you been up to? Keeping out of trouble?"
"You know, I was quite surprised to hear from you. Very surprised."
"I ran into Melanie the other day. I hadn't seen her in years. She mentioned you in passing, so I thought I'd give you a call."
"Well, I'm glad you did, mate. It's good to see you."
Hunter paused to sip at his wine and to settle himself. He was still a little apprehensive, and found Karl's nonchalance a little off putting.
"This is a lovely place you've got, Karl."
"Julie deserves the credit, really. She's a real little doer when it comes to home decorating. I take care of the outside chores and she looks after of all this," raising his hand to point out his wife's handiwork. "So, Hunt, what have you been up to? Are you working?"
"Not exactly. I do a bit of voluntary work for the community."
"What community is that?"
"Wattle Valley."
"Don't tell me you're living back at home."
" I moved back to look after mum after dad passed away."
"I'm sorry to hear that. How is your mum?"
"She's alright. A bit frail, but she gets by."
"Good to hear. It must be a bit of a bastard living so far out. I couldn't go back there, not even to visit. Remember when we were at school, all we wanted to do was to get the hell out of there."
"I know," said Hunter nodding.
"I moved into that inner city warehouse so we could play music, drink piss, take drugs and pick up girls. Jesus, we were wild."
"Well, you were, Karl."
"You had your moments, mate. The Cutting Funks, Australia's greatest and only hard-core death-metal syntho-dance band. Those were the days. Do you ever listen to any of the old recordings?"
"No. I didn't keep any."
"Not even the CD? I've got some spare copies of Funky Cuts if you want one."
"No. I don't listen to music anymore. Anyway, I'd left by the time you recorded."
"They were your songs too. You co-wrote You Explode Me Woman, remember?"
"Only those dreadful words, and it was your title."
"Yeah, but you wrote the bass line and the middle eight." Karl begins to sing the riff with accompanying air guitar gestures. "Da da da dum dum da da. It went to number 38 on the Australian charts."
"Really. Did you make any money?"
"You're joking? I think we lost between five and six grand all up. But I wasn't in it fore the money. You sure you don't want to hear it? I have a copy around here somewhere."
"No thanks. It'd only depress me."
"Suit yourself. Julie's the same. She can't stand listening to it. I'm only allowed to play it when she's out. You remember Julie, don't you? I met her at one of the gigs."
"I remember. She helped me that night … you know."
"Yeah, I remember. You flipped out on acid during that gig. Your mum was pretty dark on me after that. I didn't see why. I never gave it to you."
"Oh, well. She was upset. She never approved of me playing in a band. She said it was a waste of my talents."
"She rang my mum and told her that if I tried to see you again, she'd cut my nuts off."
"She wouldn't say a thing like that."
"Maybe not in those words, but that's what she meant," to which he added in a tone of mock refinement, "If Karl ever attempts to contact my son again, I shall surgically remove his testicles," and began to laugh.
Karl's wife, Julie, appeared at the door.
"Karl, I'm off now. I've got a class tonight. If you're hungry there's some food you can put them in the microwave. I'll take the mobile in case you want to ring me."
"Righteo, darl. Have fun with basket-weavers."
"Very funny. Try not to wreck the place, and don't spill any red wine on the carpet. See you later."
"Bye, love."
* * **
Karl finished setting the table and began serving up the food. The kitchen cum dining room was small, but functional, with the same practical elegance apparent in the rest of the house. There were framed pictures on the walls, paintings of Manet and Monet, although Karl got the two confused.
"I was never interested in art at school," claimed Karl, pointing to pictures. "You were for a while."
"Not particularly. I only studied Art History because I couldn't stand maths."
"That's right. I loved maths," continued Karl, "music is all maths. You can programme all your tunes into a machine these days. You don't even have to pick up an instrument."
"And you wonder why I don't listen to music anymore."
"You know I run a computer shop now?"
"No, I didn't."
"Yeah, not far from here. I thought Mel would have told you."
"She didn't mention it," replied Hunter.
"That's funny. Her boss is one of my biggest clients. That's how I met her again. God, she's aged hasn't she? Hasn't looked after herself like Jule has."
"We've all aged, Karl."
"Yeah, but some better than others, don't you think. Weren't you pretty keen on her once?"
"Not really. I thought she was more interested in you."
"She was interested in anyone who played in a band. How about you, are you going with anyone?"
"I haven't heard that expression for a long time. No. I think I must scare them."
"Why don't you give Mel a ring. She likes you and she's not seeing anyone at the moment."
"I don't think so, Karl. I've come to a point in my life where all that seems …"
"What? Are you impotent? You could get Viagra if that's the problem."
"No, that's not it. I'm more interested in the spiritual aspects of life than the physical and superficial."
"You sound like a Jesus freak."
"Not exactly. I did live on a commune for a while, though."
"Hunter the hippie, who'd have guessed?" joked Karl in between mouthfuls of OssoBuco.
"It was a spiritual retreat called Tralfamador. I was quite happy there for a while."
"As happy as a man can be eating vegetarian tucker and shitting in a hole in the ground, I s'pose."
"You're such a cynic, Karl."
"I'm sorry mate. Only joking. Then what happened?"
"Oh, I left and travelled around and worked on some farms for a while, and I taught kids in outback communities."
"I didn't know you were a teacher."
"I completed my diploma after I finished with the band."
"That's right. I remember you dropping out of teacher's college. Why don't you go back to it?"
"I don't think so. I find it very hard to relate to now. I suppose I just don't believe in any of it."
"Any of what?"
"Any of the values we are instilling in our children."
"They're not your children."
"I know. I just think today's society is too obsessed with materialism and greed."
"I'm all for greed and materialism. I'm just not too keen on kids. Julie wanted some, but I didn't want the hassle," said Karl as he finished the last of his meal. "Can I get you some more wine?"
"No thanks, I'd better be going if I'm to catch the 10 o'clock train. Mum's expecting me."
"What, is she waiting up for you?"
"No, but I told her I'd be home tonight and I don't want her to worry."
"Well, I suppose if you've gotta go, you've gotta go. I'll see you out." They stood up and walked towards the door. "It's a shame Julie couldn't be here. Maybe next time. Can I give you a lift to the station, mate?"
"No thanks. It's not very far."
"Well, it's been great seeing you again, Hunter. We must do this again."
"Yes, we must. Give my love to Julie."
"I will."
The two men shook hands for the first time that evening and said goodbye to one another for the last time in their lives.

Add Your Comments:
it seems your blurb and story don't match... 'two former band members meet after many years only to find they no longer have nothing in common.' nonetheless i still enjoyed your story. to be honest i enjoyed the explanation of the lifestyle that they used to lead, and the casual way that you let Karl relate back to it. it all seemed very realistic, or well researched, or drawn from real experience, and reminded me of the film 'Dogs in Space' (if you haven't seen it, you have to. it's about the small band movement in melbourne in the 70s and has Michael Hutchence from INXS in the lead role). i also like your little idiosyncracies, the closing sentence being a main example with the contrast of the two concepts in the one sentence.
Yeah, I've seen it a few times. It was on again recently. I used to be in bands in Christchurch NZ years ago, but fortunately I haven't met up with any of then again. So this is just hypothetical, but fun. The other members have a facebook website going for the band, called Drowning is Easy, and had a reunion (without me) last year. Hard to believe any one would be interested. We didn't even sell all of the 100 singles we had pressed. That's funny!

Some days, you just need a good pick-me-up book. After reading a giant pile of books for university, this was exactly what I needed. It had collected dust on my dorm bookshelf for a couple of months. Then, it was time for it to be read.
It was a nice and fluffy story about books and love. Something I probably would have discarded as ridiculously sweet, if that wasn't exactly what I needed. It granted me a good break and I discovered: romance can be really well-written. Jenny Colgan's style was nearly perfect for my short break before the new semester began.
It was incredibly easy to imagine the entire story. It was perfectly balanced: Nina's anxiousness and uncertainty about her capabilities at the beginning was, for me, very easy to relate to, even though who she'd end up with seemed also rather obvious. The idea of a bookshop in a van was also rather enjoyable. The places she went to, the short romance with Marek, Nina's friendship with her old roommate – they were delightful to read.
While most romance stories leave me feeling unsatisfied, this didn't and this is why I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a break. Romance stories can be good and "The Little Shop of Happy Ever After" proved it to me all over again.

Green Tea acts as an antioxidant and helps to protect against cancer by helping prevent damage by free radicals. However to be sure and get Green Tea's antioxidant benefits, it should be drank without milk as the milk may bind with the beneficial compounds, making them unavailable to the body.
The antioxidants in Green Tea are likely the reason it has proved helpful in supporting the delay of the onset of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and the prevention of enlarged prostate. Green Tea has been shown to lower cholesterol levels. An anticoagulant, this herb reduces the clotting tendency of the blood.
Green Tea supports oral health by fighting tooth decay, which would also help protect the heart from disease. Additionally, it stimulates the immune system.
The antioxidant properties and immune support make Green Tea helpful for asthma.
Green tea helps regulate blood sugar and insulin levels which may explain why studies show promise as a weight loss aid.
A small amount of caffeine is found in Green Tea which likely assists in its ability to combat mental fatigue.
Persons with anxiety disorder or irregular heartbeat should limit their intake to no more than 2 cups daily. Green Tea should not be used in large quantities by pregnant women or nursing mothers.
Disclaimer: None of this is to be considered a substitute for medical examination and/or treatment. Use what you will, but do so knowing that you must consider your own circumstance and the application of these things with sound judgment.

First of all, I've been working twelve hour days and thus have fallen way behind on the September of Short Adventures challenge. I honestly don't know if I will be able to find the time to get back to it.
I don't want to just dump out crappy stuff. (Hopefully that hasn't been the case so far.)
Now to the good stuff.
Weird West is a small game with big potential. It is simple yet innovative and written straight to the point. It has to be. The rules are six pages long plus one page for the fighting chart.
Character creation is very easy. Assign four points between four attributes and choose a path. A path is basically a class and determines how the character's attributes will improve as they gain levels.
The paths are Adventurer, Gifted, Fighter and Magician.
The cool part is any of the character paths are also able to choose magic and weird abilities. The origin of these abilities are not defined in the rules themselves, so you could describe them as magic, psychic, weird science, exotic martial arts or whatever else you could imagine.
Fighting in the weird West is detailed in two pages. And that is just enough to explain initiative, typical combat options, defences, weapons and non-lethal combat.
The character's path determines how much maximum damage they could do with any weapon. For example, while an Adventurer could do 1D8 with a sword, a Magician could only do 1D4 with it.
I suppose this simulates combat training and it makes sense. It's balanced by the fact that the Magician gets a point for their Magic attribute and so can get those weird and magic abilities I mentioned earlier.
Pretty cool.
Dying! Your character may not be dying when they reach zero Stamina points. At that point you would roll a D6 and check a table to see whether they may be stunned, wounded to some degree or really kick the bucket.
Resolving non-combat actions is really easy. Notice a theme here?
Overall this game is very quick and fun to play. It would also be easy to add in stuff from other games or even adapt the genre to your own tastes.
For more information, please check out the Strange Magic blog.
