Before the national Knopf release of "Eragon" in 2003, Christopher Paolini's family self-published the book in 2002. Paolini, author of the Inheritance Cycle, was 19 then, and began writing the novel and plotting the story's overall arc when he was 15.
As I pointed out in a previous post, the Inheritance Cycle has been fantastically successful. "Eragon" sold one million copies within six months, a stunning achievement for a young adult novel written by a no-name author. Of course, that no-name author was a young adult himself, making it even more impressive.
I don't know what you were doing at 15 years of age, but the only thing I remember from that time is being infatuated with my first serious crush. I say infatuated because I didn't do anything about it. What I should have done, once I turned 16 and could drive, was ask her if she would like to go out to eat with me, because I liked her and that would be an easy and safe first date. I did not do that. I did not even think to do that, for some reason. Teenagers are idiots.
At this same age, Paolini was writing his first epic. Maybe Paolini struggled with interacting with girls like me, but he at least produced a New York Times Bestselling novel and began to embark on his dream career in one swoop of a dragon's wing.
And it's that dichotomy that explains "Eragon" so well. Paolini is a supremely talented creator, and his brilliance is easy to see. The book still holds up, its primary achievement creating a captivating narrative whilst also invisibly hoisting an excellent framework for the rest of the series.
But it's pretty clear this is not written by a veteran author. For one, the book is basically Star Wars.
Don't believe me?
A young orphan man yearning for adventure unintentionally gains possession of an item that is of extreme importance. After servants from the evil empire kill his family, the young man sets off on a quest with a wise old man who was not what he appeared to be. As the old man trained the young, they were captured by the enemy. The mentor died, leaving the trainee alone. The trainee and an odd friend met along the way, a roguish outlaw, brought the important item to the resistance. While there, the enemy attacked the resistance's headquarters. When everything was almost lost, a distraction let the young adventurer destroy the cornerstone of the opposition, and the resistance rejoiced.
That's the backbone of Star Wars. It's also the backbone of "Eragon." The plot could not possibly be more derivative.
There's the dialogue, too. Paolini's dialogue often reads like someone wrote it for the characters to say, with compound sentences and a constant lack of subtlety. Take a portion of what Brom said shortly before his death:
I am old, Eragon…so old. Though my dragon was killed, my life has been longer than most. You don't know what it is to reach my age, look back, and realize that you don't remember much of it; then to look forward and know that many years still lie ahead of you…After all this time I still grieve for my Saphira…and hate Galbatorix from what he tore from me.
(Those ellipses are written into the text; that was a full excerpt directly from the book.)
It's not terrible by any means! But it doesn't really read like what someone would say on their deathbed, and the driving point of this whole speech–that he still loved his dragon and hates Galbatorix–is just plopped right there.
Consider a similar (though obviously separate) scene from Harry Potter. Severus Snape is dying, instead of going on a speech of why he felt the way that he did or did what he did, he showed Harry with a memory.
"But this is touching, Severus," said Dumbledore seriously. "Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?" "For him?" shouted Snape. "Expecto Patronum!" From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe. She landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office, and soared out of the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears. "After all this time?" "Always," said Snape."
The doe was Lily Potter's patronus. Snape never stopped loving her. It's not only an extraordinarily powerful statement, but it's presented perfectly, with an exactness that Paolini often lacks.
But, still, after reading "Eragon," I was reminded why I loved it. Eragon and Saphira's relationship is real and genuine. The world is well-constructed. The pace is quick and the book flows smoothly. Sure, it was written by a teenager with no prior writing experience, and it shows. However, creativity knows no age, and "Eragon" is as genuine as it comes.

It got me to thinking: "Is THAT our response to our Heavenly Father?" "Lord, even if you never did ANYTHING else to bless my life, I will love you!" "Even if you don't answer another prayer, I will love you." "Even if...I will love you!" What a perspective. I don't love God because of what He does or can do...I just love Him because....well...just because. He is!

I'll Love You Anyways, Daddy!
Not too long ago, my son, Vincent (5 yrs), and I were heading into town to grab some things my wife needed from the store. Now, you have to understand something. I LOVE to tell my kids "I love you." I tell them, I show them, I make SURE they know. Besides...it's just really fun!! SO, we're heading out to get in the "soccer mom-mobile" and I say to Vincent, "I love you!" He replies back, "I love you, too, Daddy." I asked him, "Vincent, how do you know I love you?" He says, "because you tell me all the time." Then, he follows up with this statement, "but Daddy, even if you never told me that again, I would still love you." As they are at this moment, tears began to well up in my eyes. From the heart of a child.

|Chinese Mantid
(Common Name)
|Harmful Predator
(General Category)
|Mantodea: Mantidae
(Taxonomic Classification)
|Tenodera aridifolia
(Scientific Name)
Description: Mantids are captivating, almost iconic insects that are easily recognized by their specialized (raptorial) front legs which they use to grasp prey. The Chinese mantid is a common non-native species that is considered by some to be an exotic, invasive species. It has been sold commercially for decades for pest management, but appears to have little value in this regard. The two most similar, commonly encountered, mantids in the eastern U.S. are the native Carolina mantid and the non-native European mantid, that can both be easily distinguished from the Chinese mantid.
Identification: Rollover pictures with mouse for tips on how to identify these predators. Adults: All mantids are easily distinguished by their specialized front legs which they use to grasp prey. Adult Chinese mantids have a face plate that is more square than rectangular (as in Carolina and European mantids), their wings extend the full length of their abdomen (shorter in Carolina), the wings are green only on the front edge of the forewings (as opposed to all green in European), and they do not have a large spot on the inside of the front legs near the body (as in European) . Chinese mantids are also larger (3-4+ inches compared to 2 inches or less for Carolina mantids and 2-2.5 inches for European mantids). Nymphs: Again, the face plate is close to square, and they do not have a leg spot.
Value in Pest Management: Chinese mantids have no demonstrated value in pest management. This is because they are ambush predators and will attack anything within reach that they can subdue, but do not actively seek out insect pests. They are non-selective and have been documented attacking beneficial insects, hummingbirds, snakes, and even small mammals. In this regard, they can be considered pests. They are sold commercially (see BIRC online Directory).
Origin and Distribution: Non-Native. Most commonly found in southern and southwestern United States (http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?search=Tenodera%20aridifolia).

This is the closest I`ve ever been to the stage
It`s kind of bittersweet though.
I`d love for my wife to come along, but like I said earlier...jumping, screaming, singing, shouting, and yelling when you`re 7.5 months pregnant with #4 wouldn`t be a good idea!!
My 7 year old won`t fare well due to it being a night show. When Jason Anakin gets tired, he`s no good at all.
He didn`t stress at all when we told him he wasn`t going this time.
A really good friend of mine, who`s a "Huge" Rush Fan/Drummer just called off his wedding
He was bummed, so I told him, "We`re going to see Rush!!"
I`d like to meet some of my extended Rush Family before the show!!
We need to exchange some info/cell#`s so we can meet up before the show/during intermission!!
Ya`ll take care

I`m still kinda bummed that this will be the closest I`ve ever been at a Rush show...and my wife won`t be coming along. She will be 7 months pregnant with our 4th. Like many Rush Loving females, she`s like a jumping bean at shows. That wont make for a comfortable ride back to Richmond, or a pleasant morning.
I`m bringing along a best freind/fellow Rush fan/Drummer named Jerry.

set of exercises for the buttocks and thighs without equipment
Exercise 1. Jump from a wide squat
Stand with your feet wider than shoulders, hands, pull up.Plunging stomach, straighten
Avoid bump stops that there are forces on the floor, in this exercise is important, not the height of the jump, and the extent to which the whole body will be collected from the heel to the crown.Landing, think about how to do it gently, try to fall on top of the foot and toes and gently roll on your heels.
Exercise 2. Swimming with stabilization
Lie on the floor face down.Pull the belly, contract the muscles of the buttocks, lift your legs.The buttocks remain on our toes throughout the exercise.Then tear off the body as shown in the picture and imitate her hands strokes while swimming.
Work from 30 seconds to a minute, then rest 30 seconds and repeat the cycle 4 times.
3. Exercise Posture table
Sit on the floor on the buttocks, the body is perpendicular to the floor.Effort buttocks and thighs leave the table in position as shown in the picture drawn in the stomach while driving.Hold the pose for 20-30 seconds table.Relax, repeat 5 times.Then follow 30
dynamic lifting and lowering, not fixing the body in the position table.
Exercise 4. "Dog" with a knee pulling
Take yogic posture "dog muzzle down" - a body resembling the letter "L", drawn up buttock, back of the thighs and buttocks stretched.Wait 30 seconds, then lift your right leg, and bending it at the knee, bring the knee to the chest, then straighten your leg and stretch the heel to the ceiling of 10-20 times with each leg.

then repeat with the other leg, rest for 30-40 seconds and repeat the exercise another 1 or 2 times.
If your goal - maximum fat burning, add a little cardio workout after that.Good idea - jumping rope or climbing stairs up and down.However, you can use any cardio or even dancing for 20-30 minutes.
Try to move more, eat well and varied, and the muscles of the thighs and buttocks catch up in a few weeks.Well, at the end of this complex is a good idea to go to strength training with weights - dumbbells medbol or mini-bar and a set of exercises for the whole body perfectly suited.

Barbourville Independent Schools and Superintendent L. Kay Dixon took time before the January 18 meeting to recognize the efforts of the board and the positive impact they have had on the school system.
"Barbourville has experienced enormous enrichments in both curricular and athletic program opportunities in the past two years, and these advances are due to the innovative nature and eagerness of a dedicated board. It is wonderful to work with a group focused on students and always maintaining a vision for success," said Dixon.
Each board member received a wooden seal as a token of the school's appreciation and were catered to fruit, vegetable and dessert trays in the lobby.
"I've enjoyed my first year as a Board member and our work towards new building projects, being good stewards with budget funds, and increasing partnerships with community resources including Knox Promise Neighborhoods and Union College," said board member Dr. Jason Reeves. "Another really enjoyable component of my work has been being able to recognize our teachers, staff, students, and their families for the incredible amount of often unnoticed effort each put into advancing our district every day. The reception was a wonderful way to begin another year of many more good things to come."

Holy hotness! Kourtney Kardashian showed Scott Disick what he was missing recently when the mom of three stepped out in the shortest shorts known to man. Kourtney's legs looked amazing in the shorts, which she paired with uber-high, strappy heels. To say she looks amazing is an understatement.
Kourtney was headed into a health food store in Calabasas with her eldest son, Mason. It's a fairly fancy outfit for a grocery run, but you know those Kardashian girls. Always dressed to impress. Check Kourt out:
She looks smokin', right? Not sure what kind of deal she made with the devil to look like that after three kids, but it was worth it. She looks better now than before she had kids!
More from The Stir: 15 Photos That Prove Kourtney Kardashian & Scott Disick Were Doomed All Along
While it's so nice to see Kourtney looking and feeling great, I kind of feel bad for Scott Disick now. Yeah, he seriously messed up, but dude doesn't seem to be doing well right now, while his ex is killing it. Hopefully, this will be a lesson to him.
Looking great, Kourt, but seriously -- tell us what you did to get that body. Hot-ness.

Went in to check the girls one night and found Olivia all cuddled up with a reindeer and baby doll
Ava wrote a book . . .
If you look closely you'll see the "Once upon a time . . ."
Because this is the most logical place to sit and eat popcorn
Digging a tunnel with Daddy - the fun part is that the rest of winter, this tunnel hung around even when the rest of the snow melted and a sweet little bunny made it home.
Olivia's letter to Jesus.
"Dear Jesus, I can't wait to see you. When will you come see me? I love you so much."
Watching your child learn to read is such a FUN thing as a momma
I have been blessed to be able to volunteer at Lifesong for Orphans for the past year and a half. Love my time there. One morning I was set to be there, Grandma was out of town and couldn't watch them so they got to come along. What better place to watch a movie than in Mom's bag?!
We had one of those magical snow falls in Feb that I just had to pull the camera out. How it stayed on the trees and houses just made me happy and want life to just pause for a moment.
Our Winter Wonderland - so thankful that God has made this home

Whitemead Forest Park re-launches after £3m redevelopment
Whitemead Forest Park, the family woodland resort set in the heart of the Forest of Dean, has re-launched following a £3m redevelopment of the entire site, including accommodation, the bar and restaurant area, and communal facilities and venues.
Designs for the improved site placed an emphasis on creating the ultimate haven to relax and unwind, and the resort is now open to guests to enjoy.
Owned by membership organisation Boundless (formerly CSMA Club), Whitemead's redevelopment, which spanned three years, has led to the creation of four additional full-time jobs at the resort.
A number of 'glamping pods' – individual wooden pods featuring futon and bunk beds, and full amenities – have been installed at the park, with a view to further increasing the number of pods during 2017.
Featuring stylish modern décor and furnishings throughout, the resort's newly-configured restaurant has been designed to provide an intimate and sophisticated dining experience for guests and visitors, while the new café layout offers a bustling and vibrant atmosphere.
The bar has been relocated to become a focal point for the main communal area, and the function venue, which is available to hire for weddings, parties and corporate events, has been redecorated in line with the rest of the space, enhanced by a brand new ceiling and lighting scheme.
The park's 32 premier apartments and 12 log cabins - all self-catered - have been newly decorated throughout, and have been fitted with stylish new kitchens, flooring and bathrooms – including en-suites, as well as luxurious new soft furnishings, and lounge and dining furniture.
The park's camping and caravanning pitches have been resurfaced, roadways widened and the area sympathetically landscaped within its beautiful forest setting.
A new guest services desk has been positioned at the park's main entrance to welcome guests, and has been integrated with the resort's shop which will also extend its opening hours.
A second phase of development is currently being planned to allow the outdoor dining area to be covered, which will provide additional dining capacity all year round.
Mandy Thomas, general manager at Whitemead Forest Park, said: "All of the staff here and I are really excited about the changes to the resort, and it's really pleasing to be able to provide additional jobs for people in the area as a result."
Carl Fillery, chief executive of Boundless, said:
"The £3m that has been invested in developing the park is aimed at creating a relaxing and stylish haven within the beautiful woodland surroundings that we're lucky to be at the heart of. Whether staying as a couple, with friends or as a family, the park has been designed to provide something for everyone. The reconfigured shared space gives guests the choice of either a more intimate, or a more communal experience, including a range of options for dining and entertainment. All accommodation has been brought up to the same high standards, and we're really excited to now reopen to provide guests with the ultimate forest holiday experience."

My Books and Me
I love reading. Which boils down to the fact I will read, to be honest, pretty much anything. I enjoy a wide range of genres, and prefer not to limit myself with preconceived notions about a book based on it's genre. I do tend to gravitate towards fantasy a lot. I also find books with a political slant appealing, most particularly of the dystopian variety, but my interest is broader than that would suggest. I enjoy a lot of classics (well, who doesn't – a book has to be pretty darn good to stand the test of time and remain popular with generation after generation of readers). I like historical fiction, contemporary fiction, sci fi, thrillers, mysteries, horror, children's fiction, and even the occasional romance. Pretty much the only thing I actively avoid would be erotica. Of course, that doesn't mean I like every book I read ever. It just means I will give most books a chance. Sometimes this can cause a lot of frustration, because I can end up reading a lot of not-so-great books. Particularly with so much self-published material out there these days. There are some real gems out there, but sometimes you have to wade through a lot of detritus to find them. And even some of the rubbish contains much to redeem it, and I find myself wishing the author had had the benefit of a skilled editor, because there is so much promise there that failed to deliver. I should make clear, I am no writer myself. I sometimes feel guilty judging the works of others harshly when it is still vastly superior to anything I could write. On the other hand, I think it does the author no favours to give false praise. I believe criticism is something we all learn from, and can lead us to better achievements. So when I review I try to err on the side of frank criticism where I feel it is warranted. This is not meant to offend, but inform. I may not be able to write fiction myself, but I am quite capable of assessing my own enjoyment of it – and that is what I intend to express.

How do I even begin to review this book? It's not so much a book, as an
, I think.
Firstly, just as a physical object, it is A Beautiful Thing. Every book lover should own a physical copy of this book, and although an e-book format (for tablets) exists, it would lose something important to it in that form. Part of the joy of this book is that you have a physical copy of the book-within-the-book,
Ship of Theseus
, complete with library date stamps with the look and feel of an old and well loved book - it even smells like it! Within you have the hand-written annotations and notes of two people studying the book, trying to divine its secrets and identify its author and his story. There are also numerous inserts, items the readers have exchanged with each other... letters, postcards, a hand drawn map on a napkin, a newspaper clipping, photographs and more. Of course, all of these things are mass produced items, but the quality of them is such that sometimes you forget that. It feels very much like you are handling the very book and ephemera that Jen and Eric (our two readers) did.
The story, unsurprisingly given the above, is multi-layered. As you read through
several stories reveal themselves. The most blatant of these is
Ship of Theseus
itself complete with footnotes, which is itself also revealing of a story connecting to the author. There is also the story of Jen and Eric. And these stories are interconnected, with many parallels. That in itself is another story.
And there are the puzzles. Some are obvious. Some the book answers for us. But others will take rereading and checking out other sources (there are various related websites) to even reveal the puzzle, let alone solve it. Technically, I may have finished the book, but I have by no means finished with it - there is a lot here to examine and reexamine and reread, and I still have questions which I will no doubt enjoy trying to answer, even if I ultimately can't.
This may just possibly be my favourite book ever.

Catching Up Over Dinner
This blog is really slooooooooooow lately, I'm aware and sorry. I just have my hands full with a now very energetic 4.5 month old who likes to be entertained CONSTANTLY. I know you moms of two-year-olds are thinking "ha, she hasn't seen nothin' yet". We're taking full advantage of the great weather and have been to the pool (which he surprisingly loves!) a lot. I've also started hitting the gym hardcore because I refuse to buy an entirely new wardrobe (I'm two sizes larger since having the baby). It's been 4 1/2 months and I still have 20 pounds to lose. Crap. I have some fun and hopefully useful new momma posts up my sleeve, but haven't been able to knock them out just yet. I hope to soon!

Just wanted to drop by and say 'Hello' from across the pond. I found your blog a few months back but have only just found the time to read it from the beginning (if that doesn't sound too sad?!)
Anyway, I have a baby boy who was born on March 20th, which I think is just a few days after your little man came in to the world.
He's my first, and I adore him. It's fun to read a blog of someone with a little boy of such a similar age, and smile to myself and think 'Arthur does that too'.
All best wishes to you and yours.

Marvel: All-New, All-Different Does Not Necessarily Mean All-Better
After 75 years of comic books about iconic super-heroes, Marvel is ending its universe as we know it. Earth-616 (where the mainstream continuity takes place) and the Ultimate Marvel Universe collide, resulting in the destruction of both. This major event started in May and it is called Secret Wars. What lies ahead for our heroes and villains after the series is still shrouded in mystery. Who will live, who will die, and how have they been changed? Very few details have been released, but Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso has stated that they are not afraid to bring drastic changes. During a press event in January, he stated: "This is putting an endcap to decades of stories and starting a new era. When you see the scope of the event, [you will] see what we're willing to do. This is a place where we're going to be bringing new pieces onto the board and taking old pieces off. You guys will be yelling and screaming, loving and hating in equal measure."
This might seem like an extreme step, but it is easy to come up with some theories about why Marvel would choose to do a reboot of sorts at this time. I believe that one of the most important reasons is as simple as attempting to increase sales. Marvel has been through ups and downs over the years, and even came close to bankruptcy in 1996. Their fortunes have certainly changed since then: their comics have regained popularity, and they have created an extremely popular cinematic universe. While the films based on the graphic novels have attracted a large new audience, it is a challenge to get them to read the comics. This is not because there is no interest in them, but probably because the Comic Universe is so large and complicated that it puts people off. I have personally been interested in the comics for years but have, until recently, always been put off by the challenge of understanding such a large universe. Rebooting the franchise is most likely the best way for Marvel to attract new readers. A brand new era with brand new characters and story-lines will make it a lot easier for people to start reading from the (new) beginning without having to bother with the 75 years of old material.
The strategy is not without problems though. While it is simple to hit a reset button and start the stories over again for the characters, Marvel cannot simply tell the same origin stories over again. That way they are sure to lose their old and loyal fanbase. Why should they be spending time and money reading the same stories over again? In order to appeal to both the new and old fans Marvel had to compromise. They destroy the universe as we know it, drastically changing everything and everyone. That way the new era will be fresh and unexplored to everyone. But at what cost?
So far Marvel has played their cards close to their chest. We still don't know which characters will live and which will die during Secret Wars. Some characters have been revealed as survivors, and some storylines have been hinted at. My impression so far is that Marvel is aiming to make their line-up of characters more diverse, both when it comes to genders and ethnicity. X-23 (Laura) is taking over as a new Wolverine, Sam Wilson becomes Captain America, we have a new female Thor, and one of the few characters that have been revealed as survivors is a Native-American (Red Wolf). I understand and respect that Marvel is putting effort into making its universe more including. In the 60s, when the comics were first created, the world had a very different view on genders and race. It is no surprise that a company centered in America at that time would mainly feature male Caucasian heroes. While they were sometimes supported by female Caucasian heroes, the women were designed to be visually pleasing for the male readers (no women reads comics, right?). That Marvel is trying to stay relevant to the times is clear: they have introduced heroes with different ethnicity, religions, and sexualities. My only issue with these changes is that Marvel is making changes to the established characters instead of creating new ones. While it is great to see African-Americans becoming more represented, I'm not a fan of Sam Wilson becoming Captain America. Steve Rogers' Captain America has such a long spanning history and is such an established character that is seems wrong to me that that anyone else takes over that name. Before any of you play the race card I want to say that I would have felt this way regardless of the skin-tone of the person taking over. Wilson is great as Falcon. When he takes over after Cap, I would have liked to see him do it under a new name. I'd like to see him do his own thing instead of mimicking the previous Cap. The same goes for new Wolverine and new Thor. I like seeing more women on the front lines, but I would have preferred it if they made their own identities instead of just following in the footsteps of others. Why must Marvel change the loved and established cast, and possibly putting off the current readers? Captain America will always be Steve Rogers to me. When I see Wilson donning the costume I can't help but think: "That is not my Captain America."
Meanwhile there are many characters that we haven't heard anything about yet.The Fantastic Four comics were recently canceled prior to Secret Wars. What will happen to the team that has been a central force since the very start of Marvel? We have seen one image of Thing in a Guardians of the Galaxy uniform, suggesting he will move to the cosmic storylines. But what about the rest of the FF family? And what will this mean for the current GoG line-up? Marvel has also dropped some hints about Hulk. While they have confirmed that Bruce Banner will be present, they haven't stated that he is going to be the Hulk. Alons said that "The all-new Hulk … this character is certain to cause debate. The same people who went crazy with female Thor will have a field day with this one." While we don't know anything more than that, I am worried about what all these changes could mean for the Universe that we know and love. I wonder if Marvel is trying to create controversy on purpose so that the new era will get more attention.
Is the All-New, All-Different brand really for the better? I dislike that the new changes are at the expense of the established universe. I don't know about other Marvel fans, but I'm not All-Happy to see characters that I am invested in being drastically changed. It is not only about them changing, but seeing other characters taking over their place. While some central characters are still present, we don't know to what extent. The old fans seem to draw the short straw as the universe they have been following is suddenly destroyed and replaced by something new. While the new universe won't necessarily be bad, it still won't be 'my universe'. The new fans that are picking up the comics after seeing the movies might be in for a nasty surprise too. After seeing the Avengers in action on the big screen, they became interested in the characters that they were introduced to in the cinema. Picking up the new era of comics might put them off as the characters they have connected to don't exist anymore. The characters are there to some extent, but they have given up their names and taken new roles. Will that encourage new readers to keep reading?
In the end, we won't really know what Marvel has planned until the first issues of the new comics are launched. I don't think Marvel will go into a lot of details about anything. Right now they are building hype so that people will buy the new issues as soon as they are released. While I do understand that Marvel is doing a reboot to accommodate for new readers while creating brand new material at the same time, I feel a bit skeptical about how this will affect the characters that I have an attachment to. I hope that Marvel proves me wrong. I hope that the new universe comes together in a great way that stays true to the things that made us fans in the first place. I would hate to open a new issue and think: "This is not my Marvel."

Labor wants parliament to condemn Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull for being willing to do "absolutely anything" to keep his job.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten moved the censure motion towards the end of parliament's question time, telling MPs the prime minister had inflicted chaos on the country.
He accused Mr Turnbull of being willing to trade guns for votes, race hate protections for backbench support, and cash for Bob Day's Senate vote.
The government moved quickly to shut down debate on the motion, using its numbers to gag Mr Shorten.

Many a holiday seems to revolve around a need to obsess over something. We obsess over candy and costumes on Halloween, turkey and stuffing on Thanksgiving, fireworks, bunnies, and the list goes on. However one holiday stands out amongst holidays which deal with obsession, to the point that we've become obsessed with not appearing obsessed about it.
I could continue the pointless build up, but you know what I'm talking about, Christmas.
As the day passes, many of us will find ourselves returning unwanted gifts for more wanted gifts (or straight up cash) and prepare for the upcoming New Years Eve, which comes so soon after Christmas that there's hardly any time at all to obsess over it! But wasn't it grand, those weeks preceding Christmas where there was all that mystery?
And what's better to obsess about than a mystery?
From all of us at Obsession Literature Magazine, it our hope that you had a Merry Christmas or, if Christmas isn't your holiday of choice, that you enjoyed a holiday that left you with a heap of memories, or even better, a trove of ideas to mine as we enter the holiday dry season. Enjoy the coming New Year, and look for more enlightening writing after this holiday passing.

If you depend on any type of electronic hearing aids, you should consider purchasing a rechargeable hearing aid battery for each unit. Many individuals hesitate to purchase a rechargeable hearing aid battery because of the fact that the initial price is a bit steeper than that of a traditional battery.
However, many individuals find that they spend a larger amount of money in the long run purchasing traditional batteries than they do when they purchase a battery that may be recharged over and over again.
Despite the fact that these batteries are a bit more expensive and a special charging unit must also be purchased, overall, this is considered to be the most cost efficient option for powering hearing aids.
A rechargeable hearing aid battery is considered to be environmentally friendly. This is basically due to the fact that the products may be reused over and over again. It has been estimated that one rechargeable hearing aid battery provides the same power as over fifty standard batteries. Many of the models that are available in stores today do not contain harmful products such as mercury and lead. In addition to this, the product identified as "Cadmium" has been eliminated from many of the batteries on the market today that may be recharged.
There are many that are created using nickel-metal hydride. In addition to this, many of the batteries are housed in high quality casings such as stainless steel housing units - which helps optimize the amount of power that they provide to the hearing aid user.
If you use a digital hearing aid, you will likely benefit from using batteries that may be recharged. Analog hearing aids typically do not consume large amounts of power. However, digital hearing aids typically require a lot of power. This is especially true if there are many different levels of functionality and options included on the device.
Special types of technology are used to create these batteries. One such technology is referred to as "Cathode Technology". These technologies provide an exceptionally long service life. In addition to this, they ensure a high cell voltage. Because of the unique designs associated with these devices, hearing aid users do not have to worry about frequently changing their batteries. In addition to this, they will enjoy the highest quality when it comes to the sound associated with the hearing device that they are wearing.
There are many advantages associated with purchasing and utilizing a rechargeable hearing aid battery. If you are interested in purchasing this type of product, you should understand the advantages, which are as follows:
• These batteries have a long shelf life. Most of the rechargeable batteries on the shelves today are protected with a strong, high quality seal that ensures that the battery does not dry or drain in a premature manner. According to tests performed on the items, the products have the capability to stand up to severe conditions and climates.
• Each product typically includes a specially designed housing unit that provides stability as well as protection from complications, such as corrosion.
• There are rechargeable battery packs that are designed for virtually all of the digital hearing aid devices that are available on the market today. In addition to this, there are specially designed chargers that may be used to provide additional power to the batteries should they become drained.
• While these batteries are typically a bit more expensive than models that do not have the ability to be recharged, they pay for themselves several times over.
If you are interested in purchasing a rechargeable hearing aid battery, it is important that you review and compare the models that are appropriate for your hearing device in order to get the best price.
It is also essential that when you make the purchase that you also buy a charging device. This device will need to be plugged in so that the batteries may charge appropriately.
You should never place standard batteries in the charging unit because it could result in potentially dangerous complications. It is also imperative that you purchase the appropriate sized battery for your hearing aid. Once you put your rechargeable hearing aid battery into place, you will immediately notice a distinct difference in the quality of the sounds that you hear and the amount of money that you have to spend to power your audio amplification device.

Stokes is located in downtown Monterey in an historic adobe that has housed many restaurants over the years. Having read several recommendations of the place on Chowhound, I decided to make it the first nice restaurant experience of my vacation in Monterey.
The place is attractive and management wisely is using all or most of the rooms, so we did not feel like we were cheek to jowl with other guests, and spacing patrons out over the space kept the noise level acceptable, though it did seem a little loud.
Unable to decide on one appetizer we opted for the chef's choice. It came with four appetizers each in three portions which was helpful in dividing it up. The bright green fava bean crostini (vividly colored and flavored) may have been my favorite. It was accompanied by potato and sweet corn croquettes--another nice dish contrasting the deep fried crunchy outside with the softly textured mashed potato interior that was sweetened with corn kernals like chocolate chips in a cookie. A large portion of grilled mushrooms was topped by three browned polenta sticks, and another sizable portion of lightly cooked lentils was topped with three slices of seared tuna topped with a whitish sauce. I thought the last two items were less successful. The tuna slices were OK, I guess, but their flavors seemed lost with the lentils. The mushrooms were also adequate, but no better than I can do at home. The polenta sticks were well prepared but didn't add much to the dish. What's more I was disappointed at the overall look and composition of the combined appetizers. Except for the crostini, the appetizer plate was a study in grays and browns--there was little color or visual appeal. Covered with the sauce, even the tuna seemed to show its gray edges more than the reddish interior. In addition, the combined appetizers seemed heavy--potatoes, lentils, grilled mushrooms, & polenta all seemed to add to the heaviness of the first course.
The main courses were interesting and perhaps more appealing overall. Helen had vegetable canneloni (I believe that's what they were called) that contained nice grilled veggies and was covered in fresh arugula. Following the heavy appetizer, I thought this was a good choice. Steve had an interesting halibut presentation. The fish was perfectly cooked, the small filet sitting on top of fresh heirloom tomatoes, brought together by a light sauce. I enjoyed the tastes of his meal, though the items didn't seem fully unified. But I could see how someone might really love the dish. Of the main courses, I chose the heaviest--a lamb shank tajine on farro, a barly-like grain, with a "mango chutney." The shank was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. The grain was a nice touch adding to the peasant feel of the dish. Yet I was not wholly pleased. Unlike most Moroccan tajines that I've eaten, the spicing seemed one dimensional. Also the mango chutney was more like diced mangoes that merely added to the sweetness of the dish, and like the sauce, lacked complexity or tang or additional flavor notes. Perhaps if the appetizer had been lighter, I would have responded more positively to the robust nature of the tajine.
What's more I was disappointed in the the service at the restaurant. The service was perfectly adequate, but it was not warm and friendly or especially
attentive. Our waitperson gave off the feeling that he had done this before and that we weren't worth extra effort. We had to ask to have coffee cups refilled at the end of the meal. Based on my quick survey, the wine list seemed very good--with many interesting selections and a number of wines priced over $100--and we enjoyed a less expensive Galante cabernet which I thought was excellent.
It is difficult writing about a restaurant after only one visit. And I had enough good food and wine at Stokes that I can see how someone would give it very high marks and think it an outstanding place. All I can say is that my results differed and since I don't plan to return to Stokes, at least again on this vacation, Stokes is going to have to get a one visit review.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- The latest weekly count of U.S. chain-store sales compiled by Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi and UBS shows a drop of 0.3 percent from the week ended Sept. 6. On a year-over-year basis, the BTM-UBS weekly sales index is up by 4.1 percent. Back-to-school sales remained strong in the week ended Sept. 13, but the observance of the Sept. 11 anniversary may have had a modest impact on retail activity, the BTM-UBS report said. For all of August, chain-store sales were the strongest they've been since June 2002, BTM-UBS said, adding that it expects the pace of September's sales "to slow a tad after some hefty clearance activity." Still, September comp-store sales could clock in with growth pegged at 3.5 percent to 4.0 percent, BTM-UBS said.

We arrived in Jaipur on Thanksgiving and decided to treat ourselves to an "expensive" (meaning over $10...) dinner out. We picked the most obscure place we could find, a revolving restaurant on the top floor of the tallest - and ugliest - building in town. I had a cold and had taken some medication in the hopes of being able to taste our meal, but it didn't mix well with spinning, so Gil was stuck finishing the many creamy and buttery dishes we had ordered on his own. Needless to say, both of us found ourselves in a proper post-Thanksgiving dinner comatose that evening.
Jaipur provides a pleasant mix of old and new India. Modern cafe chains and mobile phone centers happily share the city with classical palaces and timeworn bazaars. A walk through the old city, painted cotton-candy pink, brought us past stone carvers and bangle makers, sari sellers and tea wallas. It also brought us past several architectural wonders, like the Isawri Minar Swarga Sal minaret, which we climbed to the top of for 360 degree views. We also visited the intricately carved Hawa Mahal, which was built for the royal ladies so that they could watch the goings-on of the city below while being carefully shielded from reciprocal glances in accordance with purdah, a custom adopted by the Rajputs of Rajasthan from their Muslim brothers.
A highlight of our time in Jaipur was our visit to Jantar Mantar, the largest of the five observatories built by Maharaja Jai Singh II. The observatory contains scores of antiquated instruments used for measuring time down to the second and meticulously tracking the course of celestial objects through the sky. It was a fascinating place to explore.
The rest of our time in Jaipur was spent trying to secure a SIM card for our mobile phone, an activity that involved an unimaginable amount of red tape (and a little begging). If you give us a call, we'll know it was worth all of the hassle. UPDATE: New number in Thailand - 011 66 853646741

|AUTHOR WITHDREW 9-6/9-9: Performance of a Ceramic-Based Flat Plate Heat Pipe for Electronics Cooling
|Keywords: Flat Plate Heat Pipe, Passive Cooling, Ceramic
|AUTHOR WITHDREW 9-6/9-9: Heat dissipation has become a major hurdle for the electronics industry, especially as higher performance integrated circuits are being developed for the power industry. Two of the primary hurdles in dissipating this heat are: 1) the thermal contact resistance between the IC and the cooling device, and 2) the ability to effectively spread the heat, such that traditional cooling technologies can be effective. By selecting ceramic materials that are thermo-mechanically matched (CTE) to IC materials, the proposed heat plate can be directly bonded by typical solder or braze techniques to the back-side of the IC. This eliminates thermal resistances due to contact and thermal interface materials. Within these flat plate heat pipes, a three dimensional network of gas channels and fluid wicks spread the high-flux heat loads from localized hot spots to the surrounding regions via phase change fluids and mass transport. Like traditional heat pipes, these flat plate heat pipes operate at nearly uniform temperature due to the phase change. The internal networks provide for multi-dimensional heat and mass flow, increasing their dissipating capability. The cooling performance of flat plate heat pipes will be presented. the contact resistances and the heat dissipation prototypical. In particular, results from both the thermal contact studies and the lateral heat spreading studies will be shown.

Sinhala population in east boosted by 888% due to state aided colonization
- Last Updated on 16 June 2016
- By Athula Vithanage
State sponsored colonization in Sri Lanka's Tamil speaking east has drastically changed the demography, an all-party US congress alliance was told by a leading main opposition Tamil lawmaker visiting Washington DC.
The Sinhala population has grown by 888% in Eastern province due to ongoing state-sponsored settlement schemes, said Tamil National Alliance (TNA) parliamentarian Mathiaparanam Abraham Sumanthiran addressing the Congressional Caucus on Ethnic and Religious Freedom in Sri Lanka on Tuesday (14).
MA Sumanthiran said this serious issue of diluting of the population and changing demography, has been already admitted by multiple governments.
The TNA parliamentarian also expressed deep frustration over the government not fulfilling its pledges on returning the military occupied land in the Tamil speaking north and east.
Land grab
He recalled Sri Lanka President Maithripala Sirisena promising to release all private land held by the military to their rightful owners.
President Maithripala Sirisena visiting the north last Christmas promised that the land occupied by the military will be released 'in six months'.
However, "one and a half years since the president coming to power, 70% of private land is still under military occupation," he said.
'Required numbers'
Sri Lanka ambassador to the United States addressing the Washington meeting discounted the suggestion of military withdrawal.
The army occupying the north and east will remain in 'required numbers' said Ambassador Prasad Kariyawasam emphasising that they might leave, 'maybe in one or two years,'.

December Book Reviews
Seeing as it was December, Christmas themed stories had to feature in my book review. And both of them were as festive as you like brimming with all the nostalgia you could shake a sleigh bell at! So grab your gingerbread latte and snuggle up with one of these two. (Just didnt have time to read more)
The Little Christmas Kitchen by Jenny Oliver
Two sisters, two locations, two differing lives. Family politics and a Christmas that Ella will never forget and that is what this comforting festive read is all about. I really liked it and the author has other books of a similar vibe which I might just look up. 4/5
Sleigh Bells in the Snow by Sarah Morgan
I was dipping in and out of this all month. I found it a bit slow to be honest and found it hard to find the main characters likeable. Maybe it was just me not being in right frame of mind or something. Love on the slopes is the premise of this book. I have another in the series too but yeah bit disappointing. 2.5/5
*I am joining in with a readathon for next few weeks. I am attempting to read Lord of the Rings trilogy in 9 weeks so I might not have time for other books so wont be able to post monthly favourites*
Happy New Year!

Skipping breakfast may increase heart disease risk and make losing weight more difficult, US study
Missing breakfast may increase the risk of heart attack or death from coronary heart disease, according to a new study published on 22 July 2013 in the American Heart Association Journal 'Circulation'. Another study, funded by cereal manufacturer Kellogg's found that US adolescents who ate breakfast had more success with losing weight and maintaining this weight loss for up to two years.
Breakfast lowers risk of heart disease in men
A large 16-year study has found that men who reported that they skipped breakfast a 27 per cent higher risk of heart attack or fatal coronary heart disease than those who reported that they ate breakfast. Even after accounting for modest differences in diet, physical activity, smoking and other lifestyle factors, the association between skipping breakfast (or eating very late at night) and coronary heart disease persisted.
Researchers analysed food frequency questionnaire data and tracked health outcomes for the 16 years between 1992 and 2008 on 26,902 male health professionals aged 45-82.
Other findings included:
- The men who reported not eating breakfast were younger than those who did, and were more likely to smokers, employed full time, unmarried, less physically active and to drink more alcohol
- Men who reported eating late at night (eating after going to bed) had a 55 per cent higher coronary heart disease risk than those who didn't. But researchers said they were less convinced this was a major public health concern because few men in the study reported this behaviour.
- During the study, 1,572 of the men had first-time cardiac events.
Coca-Cola may face court in US over 'Vitaminwater'
Global beverage giant may face court in the US over claims that it "fraudulently" markets is 'Vitaminwater' product as a "healthful alternative" to soft drink, after a Federal Magistrate recommended to a Federal District court that the suit proceed as a class action.
The suit, first filed by the Centre for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) and private law firms in January 2009, targets the marketing and labelling of Coca-Cola's 'vitaminwater', which the Plaintiffs said is "misleading" and "fraudulent". The latest ruling, by US Magistrate Judge Robert M. Levy, recommends that the Plaintiffs be able to litigate for declaratory and injunctive relief, but not for damages.
"This decision puts this case on a glide path toward a jury trial where Coca-Cola will have to defend under penalty of perjury the deceptive claims it has made and continues to make in connection with Vitaminwater," said Steve Gardner, CSPI Litigation Director.
"That will put the Company in the awkward position of squaring its marketing of Vitaminwater as a healthy, disease-fighting drink with its later assertion that 'no reasonable consumer' would ever believe such marketing," Mr Gardner said.
Australian food industry experts dismiss 'plain packaging' for high calorie foods
A panel of leading Australian food industry experts has ruled out plain packaging of high calorie foods as a possible way to fight obesity.
Plain paper packaging was one of the key topics debated at the 46th Annual Australian Institute of Food Science Technology (AIFST) Convention held in Brisbane recently.
While the panel agreed that plain packaging was "inappropriate and likely to be ineffective", speakers on the panel did suggest a range of other ideas to tackle the complex issue of obesity.
Maximise nutrient quality
The panel said all sectors of the food industry needed to move towards increasing the nutrient content of foods.
"Traditional hunter-gatherer diets were driven by cravings and needs," said Vic Cherikoff, of Australian Innovative Ingredients and winner of the 2013 AIFST Food Industry Innovation Award. "We may be in an age of supermarket foraging but we still have biological needs for certain macro and micronutrients, including antioxidants," he said.
"When we are eating high calorie, low nutrient foods, there may be a risk that we are overeating in an attempt to meet our nutritional needs. We need to look at maximising nutrient content of foods – both processed and those at farm gate – to meet our needs and reduce the risk of overeating," Mr Cherikoff said.
FSANZ calls for submissions on GMO soybean application
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has invited submissions on an application to change the Food Standards Code to allow food derived from a genetically modified soybean.
The application, submitted by Bayer CropScience and Syngenta Seeds, sought permission to allow food derived from a soybean genetically modified to be tolerant to two herbicides, glufosinate-ammonium and mesotrione.
"The FSANZ safety assessment found no public health or safety concerns and food from this soybean line is as safe for human consumption as food derived from conventional soybean," said Steve McCutcheon, FSANZ Chief Executive Officer. "FSANZ welcomes comments from government agencies, public health professionals, industry and the community," he said.
The closing date for submissions is 23 August 2013. Full details of the application and how to make a submission can be found on the FSANZ website.
Gut bacteria through diet affects brain function
Regular consumption through yoghurt of beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics, alters brain function, according to an early proof-of-concept study from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).
The study, conducted by scientists at UCLA and published in the June online edition of the journal Gastroenterology, found that changing the bacterial environment, or microbiota, in the gut changed the areas of the brain that were active, both while in a resting state and in response to an emotion-recognition task.
Scientists have known that the brain sends signals to the gut, which is why stress and other emotions can contribute to gastrointestinal problems. The UCLA researchers said this study showed that the signals also travel in the opposite direction, from gut to brain.
"Time and time again we hear from patients that they never felt depressed or anxious until they started experiencing problems with their gut," said Dr Kirsten Tillisch, an Associate Professor of Medicine at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine and lead author of the study. "Our study shos that the gut-brain connection is a two-way street," she said.
"Our findings indicate that some of the contents of yoghurt may actually change the way our brain responds to the environment. When we consider the implications of this work, the old sayings 'you are what you eat' and 'gut feelings' take on new meaning," Dr Tillisch said.
