Star Trek Casting News of the Day: It seems Benedict Cumberbatch won't be content until he's in every awesome thing ever.
The impossibly British thespian, who is already both Sherlock Holmes and Smaug The Dragon, has just been cast as the main villain in the upcoming sequel to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot.
Deadline, which broke the news, could not say whether GQ UK's Actor of the Year would play a hero or a villain, but Variety's Jeff Sneider confirmed Cumberbatch would in fact be playing the movie's villain.
Prior to the War Horse star, both Edgar Ramirez and Jordi Molla auditioned for the part. The casting of Cumberbatch presumably puts to rest the rumor that Star Trek 2's principal antagonist would be Khan Noonien Singh.
Guess i better start reading the first of many books ive purchased this summer!.
Happy new year people.

Project Just Desserts: Veganizing Top Chef! Week two: VEGAN Margarita Bombe with a Lime Cookie, Tequila Mousse and Grand Marnier Crème Brûlée—three ways! »
Last week, Laura made an incredible-sounding vegan double-chocolate mousse torte to inaugurate Vegansaurus' Project Just Desserts: Veganizing Top Chef! For the second week, we are honored to welcome the proprietor of Vegan Feast Catering, a.k.a Wasabi Peas, a.k.a Janet Hudson to veganize the winner's dessert, a "Margarita Bombe with a Lime Cookie, Tequila Mousse, and Grand Marnier Crème Brûlée." Sounds insane, right? The elimination challenge was to make a dessert "inspired by a cocktail," and all their theme ingredients came from "behind the bar," which is to say, liquor, juice, and garnishes.
In comparison to winner Erika Davis' recipe, Janet substituted agar agar for gelatin, MimicCreme and her famous nut cream for heavy cream, soft tofu for egg yolks, and ground flax seeds in water for eggs. That's not a lot of substitution, right? Well, first you have to figure out what substitute vegan ingredient would be appropriate where; then you have to know how to manipulate them into behaving like the non-vegan items they're replacing. Janet, however, is a talented vegan chef, and she came up with an incredible recipe that you could, if you dared, replicate at home! Oh man, you think you're ready for these bombes—you're not ready. Too late, here's Janet!
Trio of Vegan Margarita Bombes, by Janet Hudson
This winning dessert has five components: a lime cookie base, luscious mousse, surprise custard filling, saucy tequila coulis, and fresh fruit topping with a salty kick. And this one is vegan. Top this, Top Chef.
Citrus Crème Brûlée
2 cups MimicCreme or soy creamer
1 cup soft tofu
¾ cup raw sugar
1 vanilla bean scraped
zests of ½ lemon; 1 lime; ½ orange
3 Tbsp agar agar, bloomed in ¼ cup warm soy creamer
Tart Dough
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup raw sugar
½ cup vegetable margarine
flax seed to replace 2 eggs
zest of 1 lime
2 pinch salt
Tequila Mousses
¾ cup each vanilla sauce ( ¼ cup each flavor)
4½ cups non-dairy whipped cream or nut cream (1½ cup each flavor)
6 tbsp agar agar, bloomed in warm fruit juice (2 Tbsp each flavor)
Tequila to taste
½ cup each: strawberry puree; orange juice; grated melon in Midori Melon Liqueur, to taste
Tequila Compote
1 cup lemonade
zests of ½ lime; ½ orange
3 Tbsp cornstarch
Trio of Vegan Margarita Bombes unsliced, by Janet Hudson
Crème Brulée
1. In a bowl mix sugar, tofu and zests. Bring MimicCreme/soy creamer and vanilla to a boil.
2. Temper hot and cold mixtures together and add agar agar. Bake at 325 degrees till set; this will take approximately 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool down until very cold.
Tart Dough
1. Mix sugar, butter, salt, and flax eggs until creamed. Add lime zest and flour, and mix until incorporated. Place in cooler for 15 minutes; then roll out to ¼-inch thick and cut with 3" round cutter. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown.
Tequila Mousse
Prepare three bowls: melon, strawberry and traditional.
1. Whip nut cream to a soft medium peak. Warm the vanilla sauce with each flavor and add the agar agar. Allow to cool a bit and fold in cream. Refrigerate until cool.
2. Scoop the crème brulée with a small ice cream scoop. Pour a little mousse into individual round molds, place the crème brulée bomb in the middle, and cover with more mousse. Place in the freezer to set.
Tequila Compote
1. Bring the sugar, juices and zest to a low boil. Then tighten a little with cornstarch and add the tequila to taste.
2. Slice some thin lime wedges, strawberries and melon. Set aside.
Paint a plate with the coulis, place the lime cookie on the plate, and unmold the bombe in the center of the cookie. You may cut in half as you wish. Sprinkle with some lime zest and garnish with sliced fruit or lime wedge. Top it off with some coarse sea salt.
Yields six servings: melon, strawberry, and traditional, or a total of 18 bombes.
Trio of Vegan Margarita Bombes, by Janet Hudson
We cannot thank Janet enough for making these for us. The most unbelievable part is that she is this creative on a daily basis! Now ideally, we'd have been onsite to witness her genius in action, and then we'd have eaten them all up (perhaps with a mezcal cocktail), but sadly distance kept your Vegansaurus from devouring these brilliant little bombes immediately after plating. We'll all just have to make our own, just like you. Let us know if you attempt this recipe, or Laura's mousse torte, or any of the recipes to come! Tell us how well you did, send us photos! Play along!

Top Chef: Just Desserts, episode two airs tonight, and our second chef is revealed! »
The second episode of Top Chef: Just Desserts airs on Bravo tonight (10 Eastern/Pacific), which means that we're ready to unveil our second guest chef (uh, the first guest chef was me even though I'm neither a guest or a chef! but check it out, I veganized a pretty rad dessert!) who will veganize the episode's winning dessert! Have you been able to bear the suspense? We have, but just barely!
This week's guest chef is the MOST AMAZING Janet Hudson of Vegan Feast Catering in San Diego! Janet updates her Tumblr multiple times a day (like us! high five!) and has a huge following on Flickr, because she is not only an accomplished chef, but a talented food photographer. She's also very generous; although she's already published one cookbook (buy it!) and is in the process of publishing another, she regularly shares her recipes and techniques with her readers. We've featured her amazing food a few times, and once she created a recipe just for us! We are the luckiest! And also, the pushiest!
Janet has been vegan for over 15 years, and has obviously picked up the skillz to pay the billz during that time. Seriously, if you ever want to stare compulsively at a computer screen for hours on end, you'll tape a picture of my adorable mug to it. Awww…. BUT REALLY FOLKS, you'll check out her Flickr stream—it's as prolific as it is delicious! We're all winners!
We're honored to have Janet veganize tonight's dessert, whatever insane concoction it might be. Hopefully it won't involve some horrible combination like lard and licorice. But if it did (and it might! Top Chef is so crafty!), Janet could do it, she is amazing! Next Monday, we'll reveal her dessert and the recipe so you can all go forth and conquer TV food in your own home. Ow!
AND FINALLY, here is a video of one of the contestants flipping out about something ridiculous. KILL YOUR TELEVISION. I kid, watch the show and play along!
[can't see the video? watch it at vegansaurus.com!]
*Just like last week, no one is paying us to watch or promote this show. If someone decides to give us money to do this, we'll let you know!

from 10 Conflicts to Watch in 2013 | Foreign Policy
by Louise Arbour
Myanmar's leaders continue to fulfill their pledges on reform, moving the country decisively away from its authoritarian past. Political prisoners have been released, blacklists trimmed, freedom of assembly laws implemented, and media censorship abolished. President Thein Sein has built a partnership with the opposition, especially the National League for Democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who was voted into parliament this year.
But the road to democracy is proving hard. Widespread intercommunal violence in Rakhine state, targeting principally the Rohingya Muslim minority, has cast a dark cloud over the reform process. Such tensions often arise as more freedom allows buried conflicts to resurface — even so, the continued risk of communal violence in Rakhine is very alarming and will need a concerted, unambiguous response from the government and Aung San Suu Kyi to make clear it has no future in the new Myanmar. The inability to sign a ceasefire in Kachin State, another festering ethnic conflict, also risks undermining the president's new peace initiative with ethnic armed groups.
The West has moved quickly to begin dismantling sanctions on Myanmar and end its diplomatic isolation. President Barack Obama's visit in early November showed the strength of U.S. support for the reforms. But Myanmar isn't out of the woods yet: Both the government and the opposition need to show moral leadership to achieve a lasting solution to lingering ethnic-based conflicts, which threaten their country's reform process and stability.

1.0 out of 5 stars Be Warned! This is not the Modern Library Edition!
This is not the excellent Modern Library edition translated and with a detailed Introduction by Gregory Hays. I wish this were available on Kindle. But this is definitely not as advertised!

4.0 out of 5 stars steel for your spine,
The Don Wood Files (Fredericksburg, VA) - See all my reviews
One should have more than one translation for Meditations. Note this difference between Maxwell Staniforth's translation in 1964 (Penguin Classics) and Hay's 2002 translation in these two passages.
1964: When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity, lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out-of-tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it.
2002: When jarred, unavoidably, by circumstances, revert at once to yourself, and don't lose the rhythm more than you can help. You'll have a better grasp of the harmony if you keep going back to it.
1964: Adapt yourself to the environment in which your life has been cast, and show true love to the fellow-mortals with whom destiny has surrounded you.
2002: The things ordained for you - teach yourself to be at one with those. And the people who share them with you - treat them with love. With real love.
The 1964 version is regal, while the 2002 (Hays') version is Aurelius writing, quickly, in a spiral notebook while on horseback, the equivalent of "memo to myself."
Reading this book is like taking a cold shower, or visiting a favorite bartender, who insists on serving you coffee, not drink. Hays has brought us a Marcus Aurelius who puts his hand on your shoulder, looks you in the eye, and tells you like it is: Get over yourself. You can't change the world. Do your best and realize you are of this earth. Human experience is muddy, so what? This book is best read in tough times, when you could use a little steel in your spine.

5.0 out of 5 stars a diamond,
David C. Pecot "David C Pecot" (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meditations: A New Translation (Paperback)
The Meditations are terse statements, aphorisms, notes, even reminders. Some are like fragmented dialogues, which I find fascinated. Some are very hard to get a hold of. Others remarkably clear. Summarizing them is hard, and surely misleading, but they seem frequently to stand against illusions and mistaken judgments, especially in the face of frustration, desire, fear, and anger. The positive dimension of this is harder to describe (maybe because I have yet to know it firsthand): calmness, purpose, self-control, and a true reckoning of what will matter in the end, as understood in terms of the harmony and essential order of all things. He can be difficult in places, but at other times it is as though he sees into your soul.
I think Marcus Aurelius will strike readers very differently based on where they are coming from. Some readers will resonate with his insistence on self-awareness, equanimity, and responsibility for one's own mental state and reactions. Other readers will be attracted by his ethical standards, commitment to the common good, and sense of divine harmony in all events. Others will simply enjoy his sobering reflection and insightful commentary on human nature. Historians will be fascinated with a look into the mind of a Roman emperor, seemingly untouched by the affairs of state (they are hardly mentioned in the text). Philosophers will enjoy learning about Stoic thought in praxis and how he's picked up the thought of other Greek thinkers (Epictetus, Chrysippus, Heraclitus, etc). Perhaps one of the most amazing things is how he might appeal equally to readers from very different backgrounds, a testament to the complexity of his thinking.
This particular edition comes with a very good introduction that answers questions of history, religion, philosophy, and thematic ideas. I highly recommend it to those interested in Marcus Aurelius and his philosophical thought. In addition, Gregory Hays is a masterful translator who, I think, has taken care to convey the meaning of the original Greek in appropriate English counterparts.
The first chapter is a beautiful one that describes Marcus Aurelius' gratitude to the many people that have positively influenced him, in each case telling what it is that he gained from them. Might we do the same someday ourselves? Though it is highly selective for me to do so (leaving out big chunks of what the book is like, especially the more obviously Stoic in form and content--such as the fleeting transience of life), below are just a few of my favorite quotes.
"The best revenge is not to be like that."
"You can hold your breath until you turn blue, but they'll still go on doing it."
"It was for the best. So nature had no choice but to do it."
"Forget the future. When and if it comes, you'll have the same resources to draw on--the same Logos."
"Remember that our efforts are subject to circumstances; you weren't aiming to do the impossible. --aiming to do what then? --To try. And you succeeded. What you set out to do is accomplished."
"Think of yourself as dead. You've lived your life. Now take what's left and live it properly."
"...people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own--not of the same blood or birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him..."

5.0 out of 5 stars Ian Myles Slater on: The Modern Library and the Emperor,
Ian M. Slater "aylchanan" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meditations: A New Translation (Paperback)
It was interesting to see that one reviewer went looking for a copy of the Modern Library edition of "Meditations" as a gift, and had to settle for a different translation.
There was a time when many publishers had in print their own editions -- usually "gift editions," in a range of prices -- of the little book, "To Himself," by the second-century Roman patrician Marcus Annius Catilius Severus (121-180 C.E.), known after his marriage as Marcus Annius Verus -- almost always titled something like "The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius," and most commonly some version (little choice disguised as many choices) of George Long's 1862 translation of the Greek original, originally published as "The Thoughts of the Emperor M. Aurelius Antoninus."
For Marcus, besides receiving an excellent education in Greek, which he seems to have used as naturally as Latin, went on, through a process of adoption and co-optation, to rule the Roman Empire, beginning in 161 with the death of Antoninus Pius, his uncle, who had adopted him as heir, using a third version of his name. For moderns, he is usually just Marcus Aurelius; I found it a bit of shock to see him as just another "Antoninus" in ancient texts.
Under any name, he has been popular, at least with publishers; even now, there seem to be something like sixty versions in English of this book available on Amazon, even though many *are* out of print (and most seem to be of the same few older translations). As usual, a number of these editions and translations are grouped by Amazon for review purposes, and I will mention some. If you find this, or someone else's, review of one translation under a different heading, PLEASE remember that, as Marcus Aurelius saw, some things really are beyond our control.
It should require more thought to understand Marcus than it does to follow the English version. The Modern Library's current offering, a new translation by George Hays, is based on modern text editions, and seems to be both an excellent first introduction to the book, and graceful reading for those with no interest in looking further. It has brief but helpful notes, and a glossary of names, which helps keep the notes short and to the point. Some will follow his references to more advanced treatments, including textual as well as philosophical problems.
As for Marcus Aurelius, he is generally regarded as one of the greatest, and certainly the most morally and intellectually impressive, of all Roman Emperors. Gibbon tended to see the Empire's real decline as subsequent to his death, a view not without its reflection in the recent motion picture "Gladiator." The transitions by appointment from Trajan to Hadrian to Antoninus Pius to Marcus produced one of the most successful set of reigns in history (if mainly from a strictly Roman and Imperial point of view). It is perhaps the best historically-documented counterpart of the Chinese tradition of the Sage Emperors who chose as heirs the Most Virtuous (or Most Effective) subjects, instead of favored sons.
The policy had precedents in Roman history, although none so successful for so long. Family loyalty was admired, and inheritance gave access to key property, including the slaves in the bureaucracy, and the loyalty of followers (veteran soldiers, freedmen and other clients); yet the whole dynastic principle was suspect as un-Roman. It was in part accidental, Antoninus, for example, himself almost a last-minute substitute, having no son to be his heir. Marcus Aurelius designated his son Commodus as successor, with less fortunate consequences, after the death of his first choice; although Commodus' evil reputation may reflect his political and military failures, and the interests of his successors, as much as his personality.
So one might expect from the great Emperor Marcus Aurelius some manifesto on statesmanship, or imperial strategy, or at least good government. In fact, his twelve books (booklets, really) of little notes "to himself" contain reflections on fate, on moral lessons from classical literature, on religion, on human nature. They are probably the last thing one would expect of a Supreme Autocrat and Generalissimo.
Nor are they an exposition of a philosophic system; no surprise that some reviewers, apparently expecting one, have found them unsatisfying.
The first three books have titles (some are subscripts in the manuscript tradition, but, like Hays, I think they are misplaced). "On the River Gran, Among the Quadi," refers to a campaign on the borders of the empire. If it is the heading of Book Two, the lack of any explicit reference therein to the hard-fought German campaign is worth pondering. Was this what the Emperor considered truly important? What he wanted us to think he thought was important? (But there is internal evidence that he had no intention of making any of it public.) What he preferred to think about when he could get away from the war for a few moments? It should be remembered that he was a successful campaigner.
Hays' clear translation into modern English joins a number of post-Long translations. Older versions include the important version with commentary of A.S.L. Farquharson (Oxford, 1944, out of print; his translation with new introduction, etc., World's Classics, 1990, and Oxford World's Classics, 1998), and two competitors for the student and general reader markets, respectively, by G.M.A. Grube (originally Library of Liberal Arts, Bobbs-Merrill, 1963) and Maxwell Staniforth (Penguin Classics, 1964), which have been in and out of print (but mostly in) for four decades. Of these, I much prefer Hays -- although the additional material in the World's Classics edition(s) is worth a look. (Staniforth, by the way, says that "a couple of generations ago" major publishers had "elegant miniature" editions of classics, usually including the "Meditations" -- those I remember from the 1960s themselves were full-sized, and distinguished only by gilt edges and/or slipcovers and/or presentation pages.)
It also joins the highly-praised contemporary version, "The Emperor's Handbook: A New Translation of The Meditations," translated by David Hicks and C. Scott Hicks (2002; not seen).
It competes as well with a fairly recent (1993) Dover Thrift Edition of the George Long translation, revised (and not for the first time) to modernize his mid-Victorian English and untangle his somewhat convoluted fidelity to (a long-obsolete edition of) the Greek. That Long was not very readable was probably not of much concern to those who used to buy and give (and possibly receive) editions designed to suggest educated tastes; certainly not to the sellers. Long's concern for accuracy should be emulated, but turning relatively clear Greek into opaque English doesn't seem the best way to achieve the goal. (In all fairness, what was plain enough language in mid-Victorian England / Civil War America may now seem obscure for other reasons.)
The novelist Mary Renault thought that Marcus' example refuted Lord Acton's view that "absolute power corrupts absolutely," but the most remarkable lesson of the "Meditations" is that Marcus Aurelius did not believe that he HAD absolute power. He had been chosen and groomed for a role he had been taught to accept as a duty, and regarded it as both an obligation and an imposition. For Marcus was a Stoic -- not in the commonplace sense of someone who repressed his feelings or endured pain without expression, but in the original sense of a follower of philosophy that offered a quasi-religious approach to life. Hays usefully points out (with helpful bibliography) that Marcus was, in the manner of his time, eclectic, but grants that, if asked, he would have identified himself with Stocism.
The movement was founded by Zeno of Citium (or Kition), born on Cyprus (about 336 B.C.E.) in a family said to be part Phoenician, who taught in the Stoa Poikile, or "Painted Walkway," in Athens, from some point after 313 to his death about 261 B.C.E. It was one of the key movements of Hellenistic times, and found a ready reception among upper class Romans as well. Teaching calm in the face of stress, and endorsing acceptance of public obligations, including religion, it is traditionally paired with, and contrasted to, Epicureanism, which taught avoidance of excessive pain and pleasure, withdrawal into private life, and the pointlessness of traditional religion. (Not hedonism, as popularly imagined; nor did it deny the existence of gods, only that they had any interest in anything so trivial and base as human concerns.)
For those who find the "Meditations" intriguing but unsatisfying, works by other Stoics may be more fulfilling; there are some excellent recent volumes translating and interpreting Marcus' older contemporary, Epictetus, a slave who set an example to the rulers of the western world -- but that would be another review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A timeless meditation book for anyone,
By A Customer
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Meditations (Everyman's Library (Cloth)) (Hardcover)
Here is a great book of meditations for both believers and atheists. Marcus Aurelius was emperor of Rome with an unfaithful wife, a worthless son, and the duties of leading an army for 13 years in what is now Germany. Trying to cheer and console himself in the middle of a desolate area, he wrote down what he remembered of the Stoic philosophy which he had studied. His thoughts are inspiring and provoking. This is the book you want with you when life becomes tough. As Marcus' view of god is a pantheistic one, anyone can profit from his thoughts, whether atheist or believer. A book to read ever few years. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perspectives on living,
Let facts and common sense be your guide:
1. View yourself as a part, and only a part, of nature.
2. Accept your fate without complaining. Don't waste time judging.
3. Don't be surprised that there are offensive people.
4. Accept that things change, including your body. So accept that you will die.
5. Things repeat: a life of 40 years may see as much as one of 1000 years.
6. While you're worrying about death, your mind may go. Make the best of it while it's intact.
7. Some stress is normal. You may be surprised how much you can endure, especially if you realize its for the best that you do so.
8. We weren't born to feel great, we were born to help others.
9. Why value that which can't offer you security?
That's a little of what I understood Marcus Aurelius to be advising. A sober naturalism, without the comfort of gods or the tease of enlightenment. Between Aurelius and the translator, Gregory Hays, it comes across clear enough that at time I was surprised that this ancient Roman could be speaking so intimately to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Modern Translation of an Ancient Classic,
Robin Friedman (Washington, D.C. United States) - See all my reviews
In the introduction to his translation of the "Meditations" Gregory Hays observes that "[I]t has been a generation since [The Meditations'] last English incarnation." Hays further explains that he has attempted to present a readable, modern translation of Marcus' great work which strill captures the "patchwork character of the original." I find that Hays's translation succeeds. He translates Marcus's reflections into a colloquial, frequently earthy, English in unstitled language and idiom that will be familiar to a modern reader. I think the translation is as well faithful to Marcus's thought. The reflective, meditative character of the paragraphs come through well, as does the difficulty of the text in many places. This is a book that will encourage the modern reader to approach Marcus -- an altogether commendable result.
Professor Hays has written an excellent introduction to his translation which can be read with benefit by those coming to the "Meditations" for the first time and by those familiar with the work. There is a brief discussion of Marcus's life, his philosophical studies, and his tenure as emperor of Rome (161-180 A.D.) Hays spends more time on the philosophical background of Marcus's thought emphasizing ancient stoicism and of the philosophy of Heraclitus. He discusses the concept of "logos", a critical term for Marcus and for later thought, and argues that logos -- or the common reason that pervades man and the universe -- is as much a process as it is a substance. This is difficult, but insightful.
Hays obviously has a great love for Marcus's book and has thought about it well. He is able to offer critical observations which will help the reader focus in studying the Meditations. (For example, Hays argues that Marcus does not understand or appreciate human joy very well. He also argues that Marcus's thought takes an overly static view of the nature of society and does not see the possiblity or need for societal change.) Hays discusses briefly the reception of the Meditiations over the centuries. I enjoyed in particular his references to the essays of Arnold and Brodsky on Marcus Aurelius. I haven't read these essays, but Hays's discussion makes me want to do so.
The Meditations is one of the great book of the West and will repay repeated readings. When I read it this time, I was struck by Marcus's devotion to his duties in life as the Roman emperor. I got the distinct impression that Marcus would have rather been at his studies but kept telling himself, in his writings, that he had to persevere and be the person he was meant to be. It is a focused approach, to say the least, to the duties to which one was called.
I was also impressed with the similarities at certain points between Marcus's thought and Buddhism. Other reviewers have also noted this similarity. Marcus talks repeatedly about the changing, impermanent character of human life and about the pervasive character of human suffering. He talks about controlling and ending suffering by understanding its causes and then changing one's life accordingly. There is a need to learn patience and to control anger and desire. More specifically, Marcus' understanding of perception and how it leads to desire and can be controlled by reason (discussed well in Hays's introduction.) is very Buddhist in tone. I have become interested in Buddhism and was struck in this reading of the Meditations by the parallels it offers to Buddhist thought.
There is a wonderful paragraph in the Meditations where Marcus urges himself to persevere and not to lose hope simply because he did not become a scholar or a hero or the person of his dreams. What matters is being a good person and living in harmony with one's nature. This passage spoke clearly and poignantly to me as I reread the Meditations. Undoubtedly, the reader will find passages in this book that are addressed clearly to him or her.
This is a book that should be read and pondered many times. Hays and the Modern Library have done readers a service with this translation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Translation,
Kyle Nicholson (MA USA) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Meditations: A New Translation (Paperback)
While this translation is concise and lacks the flowery writing of the George Long version which I've also bought, it remains true to the simplicity of the Stoic lifestyle and the casual writing of someone doing this only for themselves. If you want to satisfy your ego and read something with more flowers, get the George Long version or something else. If you want to understand what Aurelius means and don't care about the difficulty of a book as long as you get something out of it, I'd recommend this because it's probably more accurate in terms of tone and formality, and like another reviewer said before me, it's reads as though Aurelius were right over your shoulder giving you advice.
While some of his theories lack sound proof, he never wrote this for anyone else to read, so he has no reason to go out of his way to prove something to himself. It's up to the reader to find the proof, or refute what he says. It's a very interesting, easily understandable read that comes of as some sort of ancient self-help book. It's advice for living a decent life in a complicated and confusing society, with a limit on your existence in this world. Personally, I'd recommend buying both of the versions I mentioned (you can actually find some george long versions free online) because Hays tends to simplify a lot, but you can pretty much get the same understanding from this easier read version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way, way before its time,
Eric J. Lyman (Roma, Lazio Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meditations: A New Translation (Paperback)
Meditations is the kind of book you can just open up to any page and learn from, a still-relevant lesson about how to set priorities in what Socrates called the examined life. It is also a fascinating tour of the mind of Marcus Aurelius, the military leader, emperor, educator, philanthropist, and philosopher who remains one of history's most noble protagonists, and whose writings reveal the loneliness of his soul without being bitter.
This is a must-have book for the nightstand of anyone living a contemplative life, a profound precursor to modern self-help books written by a Renaissance man who lived centuries before the Renaissance.
There is no plot to summarize here, no accurate generalizations to be made. One gets the idea that these are thoughts the author jotted down, sometimes between appointments and sometimes after months of contemplation. Often they are obvious, sometimes they are obscure. They can seem rooted in history, and at times based on today's current events. They can be funny, surprising, or sad. But they are almost always worthwhile.
A final note: I have two editions of this book, and while I think both this one and the Hicks' translation are very good, I prefer this by a small degree.

5.0 out of 5 stars I bet even Marcus Aurelius would like this translation.,
Georgia C. (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meditations: A New Translation (Paperback)
"And you can also commit an injustice by doing nothing." -- Marcus Aurelius, from Meditations
My sister loves this book, but I was never able to get into it until I found this translation. Marcus Aurelius wrote this for his own usage - it was never intended for publication, much less being seen by others. It was something he was writing in uncertain times, and it's an intimate view of a man searching for peace and self-mastery.
This grace and immediacy did not come across well in previous, more formal-sounding translations which seemed to imply that Marcus Aurelius was handing down maxims to a large crowd. Hays' new translation lets us get closer to the author, and also gain a deeper understanding of how badly Marcus needed this for his own sanity, and in turn, how much modern life needs his thoughts on being a decent person in an indecent world.
I heard about a subway mugging (apologies - I can't remember where I read this, but it was within the past 3 years) in which a young man intervened, injuring himself in the process and becoming hospitalized. When asked why he inserted himself into a situation which he could have easily avoided, he quoted from this book. Just go and read this. It certainly invited me to consider a more wide-ranging perspective and a greater awareness of the daily thoughts that distract us, and the possibility of thinking nobler, more solid thoughts.

Aviation Industry Welcomes Latest House FAA Bill
While it may seem to many like the movie "Groundhog Day," the House of Representatives passed yet another version of FAA reauthorization on Friday, sending the measure to a House-Senate conference committee to meld it into the Senate FAA reauthorization bill passed in February. But the two pieces of legislation vary significantly, raising uncertainties about reaching a compromise. Passed on a largely party-line vote of 223-196, the House bill was hailed by Republicans as a job- and money-saver. Democrats counter that the bill would make drastic cuts to the FAA and have dire consequences for the nationπs infrastructure, jobs and the economy. General aviation interests noted that the "FAA Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2011" (H.R. 658) preserves the fuel tax mechanism, rather than imposing new, onerous user fees. While the House plan contains no increase in fuel taxes, the Senate version hikes the taxes on both jet-A and avgas. NBAA noted that the House bill also includes language to preserve the Block Aircraft Registration Request program. The House rejected an amendment to the bill that would have banned nighttime operations at Bob Hope Burbank and Van Nuys Airports in California.

Barrowman 'Excited for New Doctor'
While it looks unlikely that he'll get his sought after return to Doctor Who during the anniversary year, that hasn't stopped John Barrowman from weighing in on speculation regarding the future of the Doctor and the show.
MTV Geek caught up with Barrowman between signings and photo opportunities at this weekend's Wizard World's Philadelphia Comic Con where the Arrow actor said that, after learning of the news of Matt Smith's departure on the flight to Philadelphia, he was excited at the prospect of a new Doctor, but also that he wasn't upset at the prospect of saying goodbye to Matt:
"I don't know what the reaction is people want me to have but as an actor, it's no big deal; it is a job for [Smith]. I wasn't devastated, I wasn't gutted, but I am excited to see who the new Doctor will be."
I know Doctor Who so well and know the Doctors are going to change, so I'm not devastated he's going — but it is sad for the fans."
Arguably Smith has enjoyed greater exposure in the role than even the ever-popular David Tennant and by Barrowman's reckoning it will be crucial for any new Doctor to embrace the insane amount of publicity the role will inevitably bring:
"When David left, everyone was like, 'Oh, it's not going to be the same' but it's going to be OK. You'll just join along and be a part of it, as you always are…That's up to not only the public to decide that, but the actor (or actress) who plays the Doctor. They need to want to be a part of that."
With the debate ongoing as to whether or not the role should be played by a someone other than the characteristic white male, would Barrowman, who is openly gay and portrayed Captain Jack as omnisexual, want to see a non-white, male or straight actor cast as the Doctor?
"Oh my god, anybody, yeah! But my opinion doesn't really matter because I don't write the show and don't produce it, but I think a black Doctor, Asian Doctor, white Doctor, gay Doctor, a straight Doctor, a bi Doctor – whatever – I'm open to all that."
Read the full interview here.
6 Responses to Barrowman 'Excited for New Doctor'
Strictly speaking, Jack was/is 'pansexual'.
i don't want a gay doctor who we have jack for that and not a woman doctor.
keep to the doctor who format it works so don't mess
if you want a female timelord get jenny back as the doctors companion.
now theres a thought writers of doctor who or do you want to write it for you. lol
I have nothing at all against the idea of a female Doctor, I'd run with it if the casting was right and I'm sure it would be fine but like drvwho says above there's no need to do it. We have assertive females in Doctor Who and we also have characters that represent different and diverse sexuality. I don't see the need to overtly sexualise the doctor in any direction anymore than has already been done. I think that would be a mistake. It would certainly be bold to see him having a relationship with a male companion like he did with Rose, but I think it would be inconsistent with his character as we've seen it so far and as I said before unnecessary because diverse sexuality is already present in the show.
I am pretty sure the Doctor is bisexual… they just haven't made him fall in love with a guy yet.
I agree with most everyone else. Leave the doctor male and hetro. By the way he could be closer to forty than thirty or younger for those of us mature fans. Someone who looks like he could destroy a planet or a race then the next episode be amusing or a little flirty.
Leave the Doctor as he is. I wish Barrowman would just go away.

Ringo Starr has given the go-ahead for an illustrated children's book based on his Beatles song "Octopus's Garden."
The track, which features on the 1969 Beatles album "Abbey Road," tells of a hidden world beneath the waves and has long been a kids' favorite due to its nursery rhyme qualities.

The drummer has given publishing company Simon & Schuster and illustrator Ben Cort permission to produce a children's book based on the song.
"It gives me great pleasure to collaborate with Ben Cort and Simon & Schuster for the further adventures of 'Octopus's Garden,'" said Starr.
The book, which tells the story of five youngsters on an underwater adventure, will come with a CD featuring a previously unheard Starr song and is due for release in the U.K. in October.

Power Auras is perfect for that type of stuff.
Personally, I just sat down one day and hammered at how it worked (it is not the most intuitive of addons). I didn't know about CLC so I use it for any character that is on a priority system instead of a rotation, and with the change to prot I bit the bullet and set it up. The things I have set up are:
A CLC like bar of my prot 'rotation' spells with CDs to know when I can pop what.
A Holy Power indicator that gives me a visual and aural cue for when I hit 3 HP.
A visual cue for when I can use Hammer of Wrath.
And when I get home, a visual cue for when Sacred Duty procs :D
Lemons has a good point about NeedToKnow, however I honestly didn't like it my self, but it was mainly because it didn't fit what I wanted at the time, and I think /powa does the same job just as well.

The Presidential Scholarship was the main factor in bringing me to Purdue. An older brother went to Purdue; I have brothers and sisters who went to the University of Notre Dame and Indiana University. I got a scholarship offer from IU, too, so I might have gone there.
The scholarship to Purdue had a huge impact on me. I'm extremely grateful to have it. I love it at Purdue. I really love it. I couldn't imagine having any better college experience.
I have joined the National Society of Black Engineers and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers at Purdue, and I helped create a campus chapter of the Society of Mexican American Engineers.
I hope to use my education to solve problems. I'm very interested in the energy crisis and finding a way to deal with that.
Without donors giving money for scholarships, my education wouldn't be possible. A lot of students wouldn't be able to attend Purdue without donors giving money. It would be a very different campus.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Three murders in three days in Crisp County and Friday three suspects are in jail. The latest murder happened Thursday night in Cordele.
Sixty-two year old Walter Bell was gunned down in an alley behind the American Legion. Friday police charged 17-year old Maraquarius Greene with murder. Investigators brought him to the crime scene handcuffed and shackled and say he is cooperating with investigators. They also found the gun they believe was used in the crime. Neighbors describe Bell as someone who kept to himself. Police haven't said what they think the motive might be.
"I've never known Walter to be a violent person or to be no problem like that and like I said I've known him all my life, I can say that," said Joe Reese, a neighbor.
"Appears to have been shot twice. Investigations reveal he went to the store in the 500 block of 16th which is about as block and a half away, walked down the alley. People confronted him there wasn an argument that's where he was allegedly shot," said Cordele Police Chief Dwayne Orrick.
Bell was able to walk to the intersection with 17th Avenue where he collapsed and friends called 911.
Investigators say Friday's heavy rain made it difficult to process the crime scene. Late this afternoon, they were still questioning several people in the shooting.

OK, that's not really true, at least the way I was brought up. In that world, you're supposed to rejoice in the Lord always, not just on special occasions, and in my day-to-day life, I've found that attitude to be very beneficial.
Still, there are some days when it's pretty hard to rejoice, so it's a good thing to set a special day for that purpose, at least old Honest Abe Lincoln thought so. That's why he declared a national day of Thanksgiving right in the middle of the Civil War, a year when people were digesting the violent loss of life in places like Chancellorsville, Vicksburg, Chickamauga and Gettysburg. He thought the people needed a day to think about stuff they could be thankful for in the face of all that, and he was no doubt correct.
Well, I'm sort of in the same mode this year. In fact, this is the third straight Thanksgiving when I have really felt the need to dwell on my blessings rather than my troubles. Two years ago, I was mourning the loss of a brother at Thanksgiving. Last year I was between surgeries, one to deal with a life-changing medical emergency and a second to mitigate the effects of that emergency.
Well, I made it through that surgery this year, but in the aftermath I got some more news: I have multiple myeloma, a cancer involving my bone marrow. Such a diagnosis doesn't often lead a person to stand up and cheer.
But life is still good, and I have an awful lot to be thankful for. My most recent surgery went as well as could be expected. In fact, the surgeon who performed the operation was so pleased with the result that he made a PowerPoint presentation to show to other surgeons. Most importantly, despite a high risk of paralysis involved in the operation, I still have full use of my fingers and toes and I can still rise and walk, although I'd have trouble obeying Jesus' instructions to take up my bed.
Then there's my swallower, which, as I indicated few columns back, had taken a break from swallowing. It has continued its comeback, making it possible for me to take full advantage this week of a gooseberry pie produced by my resident nurse, cook, laundress and all-around handyman, or should I say, handylady. As always, I am thankful that I found a farmer's daughter to marry.
As for the cancer, three months into chemotherapy, side effects have been minimal, and so far, I seem to be improving. I am thankful for that, and even more thankful that I only have to travel to Cody for the treatment.
Over the course of this past year, hundreds of people have been there when I needed them. I'll never forget Melvin, a tall, congenial nurse's aide from Kenya, and a nurse named Beverly for what they did for me one day. I was only recently out of surgery and not feeling very chipper. My hair hadn't been cut for several months and it had been about a week since it had been washed, so I looked rather frightful. Beverly proposed to wash it, but I really didn't feel like having it done.
Well, between Melvin, who kept teasing me about my hair and told me I looked like Steven Spielberg, and Beverly, who insisted of doing her duty, my hair got washed, and it did make me feel better. Even more important, the two of them, with a little help from my wife, made me laugh at a time when I really needed a laugh.
The upbeat approach of the staff at the Big Horn Cancer Center has also been good for me. Reporting for treatment that you know is going to be unpleasant, especially on Monday morning, is hard, but the cheery atmosphere at the center helps me approach the experience with a positive attitude, and it really helps me get through the morning.
Lots of people have touched me by expressing support and concern for me this year. I've heard from high school classmates I haven't seen in 50 years along with many former colleagues and new friends. It has been gratifying to receive their best wishes and I welcome their prayers, which I'm sure are helping me.
Finally, and not surprisingly, I have to mention four young souls who visited their grandpa last summer. Two of them visited me in the hospital and I was touched by their tender concern for me, concern that continued when I was released from the hospital and spent a few days in their home.
That tender treatment was doubled when all four came to visit last summer, and it was boosted further by the laughter they brought with them and the fun they had together. It was great medicine for my spirit and raised my determination to get better so I can play with them the next time they come.
Adding all those blessings up, I have to say I've had a good year. I certainly remembered them on Thursday, but I won't give thanks on only one day. God has been awful good to me, and there are too many blessings to fit into one day.
Enjoy your turkey, and don't forget to be thankful.

Cognitive therapy or medication? Brain scans may help personalize treatments
Posted By SharpBrains On September 7, 2012 @ 6:37 In Cognitive Neuroscience,Health & Wellness | Comments Disabled
[1]Predicting How Patients Respond to Therapy [2] (press release):
"A new study led by MIT neuroscientists has found that brain scans of patients with social anxiety disorder can help predict whether they will benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy…Social anxiety is usually treated with either cognitive behavioral therapy or medications. However, it is currently impossible to predict which treatment will work best for a particular patient. The team of researchers from MIT, Boston University (BU) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) found that the effectiveness of therapy could be predicted by measuring patients' brain activity as they looked at photos of faces, before the therapy sessions began.. "Our vision is that some of these measures might direct individuals to treatments that are more likely to work for them"… "It moves the field forward, and brings psychology into more of a rigorous science, using neuroscience to distinguish between clinical cases that at first appear homogeneous."

Edinburgh's Hogmanay Launches Lucky 13
Organisers of Edinburgh's Hogmanay 2013 are delighted to announce today that tickets
for the world famous New Year celebrations will be on-sale from 10am, Friday 13th April.
Following the success of last year's Edinburgh's Hogmanay festival, enquiries are already
flooding in from people across Scotland, the UK and overseas keen to get their hands on
one of the hottest New Year tickets in the world.
With record crowds attending last year's opening Torchlight Procession and a run of sellout
events, organisers are encouraging visitors to plan early for this year's festivities to avoid
disappointment. Ticket buyers can 'Be Lucky' on Friday 13th and purchase tickets for all
Edinburgh's Hogmanay 2013 events at last year's prices.
Councillor Steve Cardownie, Festival and Events Champion, City of Edinburgh
Council said: "Scotland's Capital has forged a much-envied reputation as THE best place to
see in the New Year since the famous Hogmanay celebrations started 20 years ago. With
the theme of 'Be Lucky' for Edinburgh's Hogmanay 2013, it's a neat touch to put tickets on
sale on Friday 13th, guaranteed at last year's prices. People can snap up tickets to all of
the Edinburgh's Hogmanay events in plenty of time to plan for their festive celebrations,
especially if they're going to be travelling to Edinburgh from elsewhere in the UK or
overseas. Last year's Edinburgh's Hogmanay saw five out of the six events sell out
completely, with tickets purchased by visitors from 66 countries."
Due to international demand, for the first time ever, tickets for the world famous Street
Party, Concert in the Gardens, The Keilidh at the Street Party, Torchlight Procession,
The Loony Dook and Candlelit Concert in St Giles' Cathedral are all on-sale pre-summer
and with no increase on the 2012 ticket price. Headliners and programme details will be
announced from September onwards.
Edinburgh's Hogmanay 2011/12 once again positioned itself as Europe's leading New
Year festival, with three days of spectacular outdoor events and a music line-up to rival any
summer festival. Scottish headliners Primal Scream were joined by the cream of the UK
music scene including Mark Ronson, Friendly Fires, The Vaccines, Bombay Bicycle Club,
Capercaillie, Wild Beasts, The Cuban Brothers, Blazing Fiddles and much more over seven
live music stages. Over 75,000 welcomed 2012 at the Edinburgh's Hogmanay Street
Party, enjoying a feast of entertainment, live music and DJ stages, giant screens and the
spectacular Midnight Fireworks, which are broadcast globally in over 150 countries to an
audience of over 1 billion people.
Do you feel lucky?... Ten New Year revellers will be getting their Edinburgh's Hogmanay
experience for Free if their ticket purchase hits a 'Lucky 13' within the first 1000 ticket
transactions (i.e. 13, 113, 213, 313 etc). A great way to end 2012 and start 2013 on a
winning streak.
Pete Irvine, Director of Edinburgh's Hogmanay, said: "It's quite usual these days for
people to buy tickets for hot music festivals well in advance. Edinburgh's Hogmanay
probably has the largest proportion of International visitors of any UK festival and the Street
Party is all about music, so we felt it was time to allow people to book tickets early, make
their plans and get lucky."
Revellers can 'Be Lucky' and join the party by purchasing tickets for Edinburgh's
Hogmanay events at:
• Online at www.edinburghshogmanay.com
• by calling the Edinburgh's Hogmanay Box Office on 0844 573 8455
