On the 75th anniversary of its publication, this outstanding work of literature is more crucial and relevant today than ever before. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

"British actor Michael York's refined and dramatic reading captures both the tone and the spirit of Huxley's masterpiece." (AudioFile)
"Better than a gram of soma...."
Superb. An absolute classic! This thought provoking tale of social engineering is made even more accessible by the masterly narration of Micheal York. Sheer auditory pleasure!
Bleak and excellent. An interesting thought experiment. As opposed to Orwell's "1984", in which a totalitarian government rules by fear and brutality, the Brave New World leaders remain in power by enslaving their population to unbounded, self-indulgent pleasures. All humanity is lost when grief, pain and suffering are eradicated, and the book cleverly introduces a 'savage' from an 'old world' reserve who understands the loss that the new world has undergone. Despite it's cautionary tone (that seems to be more relevant in this day and age than when it was written) I couldn't help feeling I could do with just a little bit of unbounded, self-indulgent pleasure. Huxley would turn in his grave!! Clear sound and excellently narrated.
I have never posted a review before, as I have never felt strongly enough, in either direction, to want to make a public comment on something - until now. It is more years than I care to remember since I last read Brave New World, and what a delight to listen to Michael York as the narrator. For anyone who thinks that they 'ought to' read this book, then this is the perfect way to do it; and anyone who wants to revisit this timeless classic, then you are in for a sublime 8 hours. If only all audio books were of this standard.
I'm a singing songwriting postie living in Yorkshire. Sometimes I like to be challenged by a book, and sometimes I just want to lose myself.
"Parody not prophecy."
This novel has to be read with the writer's historical context kept firmly in mind to appreciate its absolute genius. It's a parody - and a very funny one - of all the utopias being prescribed and promised by the political theories that are sweeping the world in that very strange period that was the 1930s. Capitalism was being battered - due to the Great Depression - and Socialism, Communism and Fascism were vying for dominance of people's hearts and minds; each declaring they had the keys to human happiness. And, alongside this, the science of eugenics seemed to be justifying the European dominance of its empires as well as the right of the upper-classes to rule the lower. So throw into this already very heady mix the hedonism of the Roaring Twenties, and the still very fresh memories of the Great War, and Alduous Huxley is writing in an extremely volatile time. So what does he do? He takes the piss out of everybody.
We follow the petty proto-revolutionary bureaucrat Bernard Marx (what a great name: George Bernard Shaw/Karl Marx) in his pathetic and ultimately futile quest for respect and importance in the genetically 'stable' utopia that has been manufactured. It's a very uncomfortable read at times - the erotic play of the toddlers comes to mind - and brutal too - the death clinics, and the descriptions of the Savages' reservations - but Huxley's point is to show that no matter what the grand Social Theories promise, they won't be able to take into account each individual's little weaknesses and lusts and ambitions; humans can't be put into little boxes and expected to be happy. The Shakespeare quoting savage John isn't happy in the reservation nor in the Brave New World; the stunted Bernard won't ever find acceptance from his peers, and Lenina ("Wonderful girl; splendidly pneumatic.") will never be able to understand her taste for something 'different'. Huxley isn't being prophetic, he's being parodic in Brave New World and he's having a lot of fun too. 5 stars
"Marred by narration"
Great book, no doubting that, but I'm half way through and had to break to come on here and say I can't STAND Michael York's narration. Really after 20 audiobooks or more from Audible this is the first time it's happened, and it's particularly surprising given he's such a well known actor, but absolutely every moment of his performance is over-egged. It's Jackonory story-telling, subtle as a brick and prone to spasms of indulgent and frankly frightening wailing and crying. And the accents, entirely his contribution from what I gather, are atrocious. I'm probably in the minority given other reviews here, but give the sample a go and try before you buy, that's my advice!
"Interesing characters and ideas of the future."
Michael York makes listening to this book very easy.
The story portays a world where human engineering has advanced so far that children are grown in test tubes rather than born naturally. Distinct classes of people are manufactured in the test tube. Love and partnerships no longer exist as everyone belongs to everyone else. Subliminal teachings repeat the mantras of the new world order, ensuring stability and conformity. Drugs are freely available to wash away any hardship or stress. Gone are the writings of Shakespeare and all references to God.
But there are a few that are not content with the way of the world and look for answers to their feelings of emptiness.
The story follows these characters through their journey of self realisation and weakness, exploring the state's reaction to their outspoken views.
I really enjoyed the story and considering its age was impressed by the forward thinking.
"A classic, but period piece"
I read this book many, many years ago when it still had resonance for many fearing the emergence of regimented, totalitarian, mainly communist, states. Being set in the distant future it contains all sorts of predictions about technology and how societies function. It's funny to read it again and to see how things have turned out and how technology like mobile phones and computers simply weren't envisaged in the 1930s. Although it's force has in many ways been superceded by events, it's still a classic and fascinating read.
"Great book, some volume issues"
First of all, this is a great book which I recommend. I do think there is a problem with the sound volume however, in that the volume difference between the most quiet and the loudest parts is too big. I listen a lot while commuting and I had to frequently lower the volume at the loud parts, and increase the volume at the most quiet parts to save my ears / be able to hear. I think it would have been clever if the publishers edited or mixed the sound to prevent that.
I don't think that should stop you from listening to this book still. Because it's great.
I first read this book 25 years ago at school. Time (or my age) has made this book even better! Well read by Michael York. If you like George Orwell's 1984, you'll love this.
"Great book."
Brilliant! This is not the sort of thing I normally read, but thoroughly enjoyed it. The narration is great, each character is very distinctive making the story very easy to follow.
""Oh, Ford, Ford Ford, I Wish I Had My Soma!""
Brave New World is a bitterly funny and humorously tragic dystopian novel in which Aldous Huxley satirizes modern civilization's obsession with consumerism, sensual pleasure, popular culture entertainment, mass production, and eugenics. His far future world limits individual freedom in exchange for communal happiness via mass culture arts like "feelies" (movies with sensual immersion), the state-produced feel-good drug soma, sex-hormone gum, popular sports like "obstacle golf," and the assembly line chemical manipulation of ova and fetuses so as to decant from their bottles babies perfectly suited for their destined castes and jobs, babies who are then mentally conditioned to become satisfied workers and consumers who believe that everyone belongs to everyone. In a way it's more horrible than the more obviously brutal and violent repression of individuals by totalitarian systems in dystopias like George Orwell's 1984, because Huxley's novel implies that people are happy being mindless cogs in the wheels of economic production as long as they get their entertainments and new goods.
Michael York does a great job reading the novel, his voice oozing satire for the long opening tour of the Hatchery and Conditioning Centre, and then modifying in timbre and dialect for the various characters, among them the self-centered brooder Bernard Marx, the budding intellectual poet Helmholtz Howard, the sexy, sensitive, and increasingly confused Lenina Crowne, the spookily understanding Resident World Controller of Western Europe Mustapha Mond, and especially the good-natured, sad, and conflicted Shakespearean quoting "savage" John.
I had never read this classic of dystopian science fiction, so I'm glad to have listened to this excellent audiobook, because it is entertaining and devastating in its depiction of human nature and modern civilization, especially timely in our own brave new Facebook world.
"A "Have to Read" Book"
There are some books which, sooner or later, one must read. Here is one of them. Although quite famous, most of its worth lies in its insight than in its uneven prose. In fact, there are times when Huxley cannot write his way out of a paper bag, contrasted with other moments when, for some reason, he does better. He is best when describing objects and surroundings rather than conversation and human interactions. In any event, his writing is mediocre rather than great. Ideas and images buoy the text up: human embryos raised in bottles, then "decanted" (as the book's society calls it) into faux placentas until birth; humans given all the sexual thrills they can handle from childhood, and all the emotion-draining hallucinogenic drugs they want, in order to maintain social order. Michael York as narrator is superior, with my only complaint being that his voice gets strident at times.
"Nightmare-Inducing (in a Good Way)"
When I first read Brave New World it gave me nightmares. I was hooked. It might be strange to say that a book that gave me bad dreams is a good thing, but I was intrigued that a story could worm its way so powerfully into my psyche. It was really my first encounter with dystopian speculative fiction and I ultimately credit Huxley with sending me on my recent nosedive into YA lit. He probably wouldn't appreciate this association, or the one I'm about to make, which is that I think this book is one of the most powerful and accessible works of dystopia ever created, and can be seen as a forebear to much of today's hottest literature.
Sometimes when I'm not sure what I want to listen to next I'll return to a book that I loved fervently in print and check it out in audio, and that's what I did with Brave New World. I'm so glad that I did. Michael York is an excellent narrator and he captures the different characters admirably. But what I found most impressive is how he handles dialogue. Brave New World is more than dystopian sci-fi; it's a novel of ideas and discussion. There's a lengthy rapid-fire debate that takes place between John the Savage and Mustapha Mond near the end of the book that is generously peppered with obscure Shakespearian references. When reading you can gloss over anything you do not get immediately because you understand the merit of their discussion: is it better to be happy and controlled, or is the freedom to be unhappy the greatest of human liberties? But I found while listening that Michael York carried me along through their debate and the individual Shakespearian references sang clearly. Just as seeing a play acted out on stage is easier than reading it, I really feel that listening to this book was a heightened experience, and an improvement on the print version. Now when I recommend Brave New World to people I suggest they listen to it first.
And I'm going to recommend it again now: There's a reason this is a classic, and read by most freshman English students. If somehow you've missed it, now is the time to pick this one up.
"still frightening all these years later"
i found "brave new world" to be...interesting, interesting in a "make your skin crawl at the reality of how close to home this story hits" kind of way. a disturbing tale, written many years ago, it's tempting to dismiss the possibilites for a future like this as unthinkable, impossible, improbable...an alarmist's view of the future from so far in the past as to be almost laughable. in truth, laughing will be the last thing on the listener's mind. "brave new world" is presented in such a way as to make the listener think long and hard about our own current events and where they could potentially go in the not so distant future. a bit of a stuffy read at times, it may be a bit hard for many to understand due to both the english accent and the multisyllabic words used nearly constantly. find yourself a dictionary and settle in, just don't be surprised at the disturbing bent your dreams may take. use it as an entertaining listen, but be certain to take away the startling glimpses of what could so easily be our own "brave new world" in the not so distant future.
"Keep in mind, it's a classic."
To be honest, I had never heard of the book before in my life. With my interest in dystopian worlds and lives, this book seemed like a good on to read. And it was. The narrator's performance was good and the storyline, as eccentric as it turned out to be, was very strong. This is no run-of-the-mill story, you will need to immerse yourself in the world and the style that it is written in, but when you do, be prepared for a mind-bending dystopia!
"Stick with it!"
After only a few chapters into Brave New World, you will be so shocked and appalled that you may feel inclined to emphatically put it down and disconnect yourself from it for the fear that someone else will overhear the spill of your headphones. I challenge you to keep reading; although it never explains itself in a way that eases our consciences, it categorically forces you to reconsider every quantum of morality and ethics you possess. Once done, you will certainly not agree with the hypothetical future set forth by Aldous Huxley, but you will understand why not, and thus have a far more solid foundation for why you believe what you believe.
"so much premise, so little plot"
Ok, it's a classic so definitely a book with deep things to say. Generally I like the classics outside a classroom setting, but I'm just not sure this book was all I was hoping it was going to be. The first half of the book (give or take) is almost entirely consumed with setting the scene of a dystopian future (can you really call it dystopia if the people living in it are 'happy'?). I think the second half was supposed to be plot, but I couldn't really tell. There were a number of main characters, but none of them really seemed to be the 'hero' of the story, or even the focus of the story. There were tons of plot holes and loose ends, and some oddities in the society described (seriously this homogeneous society is ok with just sending the intellectuals off to a random island and hoping they never cause trouble? It just doesn't ring true to me) which betray this book for what it is: not so much a book but an extended discussion of a hypothetical future. It is an interesting concept, and one of those things that you can sort of see happening in a frightening future. Long story short: listen to it, contemplate the overall concept, don't expect a riveting plot.
"A remarkable work"
Aldous Huxley presents a world so... Sci-fi, it's hard to believe it was first released in 1932. It succeeds in providing a detailed picture of a world where genetic modification is the commonplace way to provide societal stability. We find ourselves outsiders to the morality and values that must be maintained to accept this way of life but I think it's ultimately less a question of right/wrong but more about the nature of humanity, the value of human life and individuality (and yes, our sense of right and wrong).
Where I feel this book falls short is in the enjoyability of the story. It has been a few years since I read it, so I can't be too detailed here but I definitely remember loving the book through the first half. As I drew near to the end, however, the story lost steam and I found myself trudging through the last chapters. When I finally got to the end, I just felt bad and had lost the enthusiasm for talking about the complex ideas presented by this futuristic society that seemed so interesting when I started.
I give it 3 stars. Good book not great. Not the kind of book that I'll probably read more than once.
"A Great Listen"
Michael York does an excellent job of reading. I highly recommend this audio. Better than a half-gram of soma :-)
There was a time when the situation described in this book would have inspired universal horror in its readers. Yet nowadays many people seem to be yearning for a lot of the things described in this dystopian society. Maybe they should read the book and reconsider what they really want.
Huxley did a great job extrapolating from his own times what the ultimate end of contemporary trends would be. It would be nice to think we have steered clear of what he warned us about, but I dare say we have stayed more or less on course to become what he describes.
Traditional families and their values have completely disintegrated in this new world. It is a statist paradise, and it's hard to see how the new world order can be brought down. Thankfully, it's equally hard to see how the old world order could be so completely superseded.
This is the second book I've listened to read by Michael York. There will not be a third. York does OK with a lot of the dialog. He tends to read the prose in between in kind of a singsong voice that is very annoying. One gets the impression he thinks everything he reads is being read to a kindergarten class. When he gets dramatic, he gets REALLY dramatic. It is frankly a little surprising coming from a movie actor known for giving relatively flat, unexpressive performances.

Much of the focus in the console war between the PS4and Xbox One has been the perceived power advantageSony's console has over Microsoft's. Following a published interview with Rev3Games Thursday, Microsoft Director of Product Planning Albert Penello explained why there's no way the company is willing to give the competition a huge performance advantage.
The advantages for the PS4 over the Xbox One currently stand with the console's GPU and memory. The Playstation 4 GPU is said to be capable of 1.8 TFLOPS while it also uses GDDR5 memory for fast memory access at 5500mhz. Meanwhile, the Xbox One's GPU is reportedly capable of 1.23 TFLOPS (before the 150Mhzclock speed boost) and uses DDR3 memory at 2133mhz. However, Penello says that there's more to the story than just numbers on paper.
"I'm not dismissing raw performance. I'm stating – as I have stated from the beginning – that the performance delta between the two platforms is not as great as the raw numbers lead the average consumer to believe," Penello wrote on NeoGAF. "There are things about our system architecture not fully understood, and there are things about theirs as well, that bring the two systems into balance."
"People DO understand that Microsoft has some of the smartest graphics programmers IN THE WORLD. We CREATED DirectX, the standard API's that everyone programs against. So while people laude Sony for their [hardware] skills, do you really think we don't know how to build a system optimized for maximizing graphics for programmers? Seriously? There is no way we're giving up a 30%+ advantage to Sony. And ANYONE who has seen both systems running could say there are great looking games on both systems. If there was really huge performance difference – it would be obvious."
Penello then brought up similar instances where Sony and fans of the Playstation proclaimed superior performance with the PS2 and PS3 before concluding that, "in the end, games on our system looked the same or better."
"I'm not saying they haven't built a good system – I'm merely saying that anyone who wants to die on their sword over this 30%+ power advantage are going to be fighting an uphill battle over the next 10 years…"
Update: Penello followed-up with another post after some members of NeoGAF questioned his line of reasoning.
"I'm stating that not everyone knows all the facts. There are still a lot of important details about the platforms that are still unknown. I have many, many questions about what Sony is doing technically," he wrote.
"The question I posed earlier, and the statements I'm making now, will come out when we see the actual shipping boxes.
"The most obvious point is that anyone looking at games on both platforms do not see ANY difference, let alone this alleged 30% - 40%. Both systems are powerful. Both are capable of next-gen graphics. I'm merely saying the application of that performance will mean the actual difference will not be that great."

This Just In: Real Brides' Drastic Weight-Loss Measures
We all know planning a wedding is super-stressful — heck it's our job to know everything about them so we can ease the burden on you! But when we read stories about the lengths brides are going to to lose weight, we can't help but want to shake these ladies.
Shedding for the wedding is tough, and the pressure is on to look beautiful on your wedding day, but is sticking a feeding tube up your nose really the answer to weight loss? We're going to go out on a limb and say no. The Times recently reported on the latest in what we can only call wedding crash dieting (there should be an ultimate in there too). We're not just talking eating fruit and cottage cheese all the time, more like dishing out thousands of dollars to have someone limit your calorie intake and monitor negative side effects (like constipation and dizziness).
But what do these drastic measures get you? Okay, we admit, the results are speedy but they're also very short-lived. Like Dr. Oliver Di Pietro (he operates his own clinic in Florida) says, "It doesn't matter if it's through a tube, a straw, a meal plan." [All these plans work] if someone goes from 3,000 calories a day to 800." But, after you've passed the wedding day, the honeymoon starts and you begin eating a normal calorie-count and you bounce back to your pre-wedding weight.
So what are some healthier options? For one, get started sooner — as in, give yourself a few months to lose the weight. Hire a trainer, speak to a nutritionist about lowering your serving sizes and join a gym! You'll see results. Keep it up and you'll maintain your wedding-ready bod long after the "I dos" are over. Real brides on our message board are buzzing about what works for them; controlling junk food cravings by keeping healthy snacks around; setting goals for themselves (run a half marathon!); or as simple as joining a gym with their fiances so they're in it together.

Celebrating the Chinese New Year
Happy Lunar New Year! As a little bit of background, Lunar New Year (also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival) is one of the longest and most important celebrations in the lunar calendar. Festivities begin on Monday, January 23, and continue for 15 days to usher in the start of a new year and the beginning of the revitalizing spring season. The events consist of fireworks, family feasts, "lucky money" given in traditional red envelopes and on the final day, the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival is an exciting, action-packed day filled with music, dancing, acrobatics, parades, Yuanxiao dumplings, and, of course, the release of beautifully decorated lanterns.
I think Lunar New Year is a perfect time to revisit some of the resolutions we made at the beginning of this month and to evaluate our progress in each of them. In honor of the occasion, I will be celebrating the Chinese New Year this Monday by curling up in a comfortable chair with a good book and the Asian-inspired Bamboo candle in the background. The Bamboo scent, which has notes of Asian spices, grasses, citrus and lavender, is the perfect way to enjoy the New Year since bamboo is traditionally believed to bring in prosperity and good luck.
How are you celebrating the Lunar New Year?

We love our Camaros around here, but what really gets our blood pumping is hearing from those who drive the hell out of them. One such guy is Garry Schmidt. As he told Camaro Performers magazine, "I've had my 1987 IROC Camaro since new and drove it for many years as my primary vehicle, through summer and winter. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, so winters can be pretty harsh. Over the years the car eventually rusted out; there were holes through the doors and around all wheels, and much of the paint on the hood started to peel off the undercoating (apparently a common problem for GM around 1987). It was far from the car that I brought home from the lot with a huge grin on my face." In 2002 Garry had the body completely restored and shot in bright GM Blue Metallic paint. He had also been tinkering with the original 305 TPI mill but eventually decided to go all-in and swap it for a 440hp LS6 built by Turn Key Engine Supply. And since he was in the mood, he reworked the entire suspension with parts from Spohn, Eibach, and Hotchkis along with a binder kit from Baer brakes.
•Submit reader's rides photos and information to firstname.lastname@example.com
After returning from Afghanistan, Army paratrooper Paul Reily knew he wanted a Camaro. As he told us, "I wanted a Z28, but after three months of searching around Anchorage, Alaska, I couldn't find one. Then I saw the one I have now. I was happy with the car and thought it was the fastest thing on the road. A local shop was willing to give it a 'custom exhaust' that consisted of some 2-inch pipe hacked and welded to a set of super rice dual tips. It was terrible, but at the time I thought it was great, at least until I started to learn about cars." In late 2005, Paul was stationed at Fort Campbell in preparation for deployment to Iraq. "It took me about five days to drive from Anchorage to my new station. It was an amazing trip. The kicker was how much the trip cost me. It was right when gas shot past three dollars a gallon and the Army was still paying us based on two or less.
Eventually, he hooked up with the Middle Tennessee F-body Association and learned a ton about modifying his fourth-gen. While in Iraq he ordered up a host of handling parts from UMI and BMR. With that done, he spent his off-time, while deployed to Afghanistan, ordering up engine parts like Trick Flow 215 ported heads, custom ground COMP bumpstick, and a FAST 90mm intake. As Paul stated, "It ended up making 454 hp at 6500 rpm. I had the car repainted and bought some Rushforth Livewire wheels to dress it up a bit.
I am currently on my fourth trip overseas, and I've been working to get a roll cage and a Fab-9 rear. I'm also looking at either a turbo setup or going with a whole new motor. I had dreamed about a Camaro since I was in high school. I always wanted a first-gen and a corvette, too. It's on the list, but one car at a time."

This conversation is closed.
How do you get inspired, stay motivated, and become passionate in what you do as a TEDster? What is your passion how did you discover it?
I am interested in the experiences and stories of others to give me a perspective on how people become passionate about something or how they get inspired to do great things. Their journey of how they became passionate and inspired.
Dec 3 2012: Make plans, but have little or no expectations. It is difficult, but it might be small plans that ripple into big plans.
From my experience, nothing goes as planned, so don't try to expect too much, but always try.
Example, making plans with friends to do one thing, like watch movies, then we do something else when we meet up, like hiking.
I don't think passion and being inspired is constant. I picture it more like a roller coaster. You will feel passionate and inspired and later on not, then you enter a loop of that or a roller coaster.
I found that having a strong support group or family/friends helps.
Keep exploring and keep trying new, safe things in life. Good Luck!
Dec 4 2012: I like the metaphor of the roller coaster for inspiration and passion.
I get caught up in all the TED Videos and see how passionate the TED community is and feel about what they are doing for either themselves or others.
I agree that many of the times that you make plans that they never go according to plan.
I am finding that some people may not have a support group or family/friends that may not be interested in one such passion what would you suggest to those people in finding such a support group?
Dec 4 2012: If your immediate family or friends aren't the support group you seek, then seek elsewhere my friend.
I personally understand how you feel because I've been or am still in a similar situation. We all have to not give up and keep searching for people who love and accept us that only wants us to improve.
There is an anime that I liked called One Piece that is very uplifting to watch. It has a strong message that there is people who care about you out in the world, but you just have to keep living and looking for them, though never place too much expectations because people come and go.Dec 11 2012: Support of family and friends has permitted me unlimited time for creativity; without that support structure, I'd have to struggle to survive day to day. Being passionate is easy; being focused on producing useful results is tough!
Dec 12 2012: I agree that the support of a family and friends are very crucial with what you inspire to do whatever it is. I also agree that producing results is tough as well. It can be extremely time consuming and having patience is key to having your passion become a reality or your job.

Nov 29 2012: Here is a youtube that may be useful for you in this regard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TAqSBMZDY8
- +1
It is forty minutes of Sir Kenneth Robinson talking about his book, "The Element." I have not heard the video but I have read the book. He goes through the cases of a variety of passionately commited and effective people- people you have heard of.
Another resource for you is our TED talk of Steven Jobs talking at the Stanford graduation.
Nov 29 2012: I watched that video of Steven Jobs and it amazes me how he can be so successful and have everything be taken away. He really over came when he lost everything. He is inspirational and his story is amazing on how to overcome adversity. Thanks for the video I will reply again when I have time to watch the youtube video and give you my thoughts. Much appreciated.Dec 23 2012: Hello Jon,
I am happy that I find people like you who post such precious questions. Regardless of my age ( i am only 17) I am in the middle of a chaos which I am trying to get myself out of. I have big dreams about my desire on energy but my friends keep on mocking and ridiculing me. I think the main motivation to stay ambitious is being told "you can't do this" or "you will never be as successful as they are, just be realistic". All young people today (unfortunately) destroy their desires and goals under the name of being "Realistic". I think being and staying passionate is related to how much confidence, optimism,and faith you have. I have also posted an idea on TED which I will be really thankful if you take a look at.
Dec 24 2012: I will take a look at it if you can link it here that would be great.Dec 7 2012: How far are you prepared to pursue your dreams Jon? What are you prepared to sacrifice ? Sometimes on various search engines there are 'Top ten' type articles about people who seem to embody something that seems desirable. For example many people find the lives of the Hollywood movie stars fascinating, they seem wealthy and happy and successful then you read a biography or autobiography and it turns out things in their personal lives were not so rosy. Personally I was inspired by a teacher who taught me social and economic history when I was about 14 years old. I am not sure what it was about her but I formed a personal philosophy from what she taught me about social dynamics. I will always owe her a massive debt. She taught me to look twice before judging. Sometimes it takes a loss before you realise what your passion is. One way of visualising is to pretend you are writing a book. You start with a contents page, write your chapters then think about a title. If you don't like using words you can use pictures or take photos or draw. What makes your heart beat just a little faster (in a good way).
Dec 12 2012: I agree with you whole heartily that there is going to be some sacrifice and am I willing to take that sacrifice is surely the question. When I get to that road I drop you a line and tell you if it was worth it. But as for now I am looking more for what is my passion and as I am coming across more and more TED videos I am seeing that discovering a passion maybe a fun journey. I think that I am going to take Matt Cutts advise in the video that I linked you. Mainly to take one step and not giant leaps. We tend to forget that it is the tiny steps that amount to great things and not the end product but how we obtained it in the first place. Going to try something for 30 days will be fun and interesting. I hope in my journey of the upcoming year that I will discover something that I am passionate about and may one day be up at the TED conference talking about my journey of discovering ones passion.
Dec 13 2012: Jon, in yr photo u look like a guy who loves life. Fun is definately a good way to explore one's passions. Here are some positive affirmations that might give you a framework, think of them as a type of job description. 'sense of beauty, love of life, simplicity, intelligence, grounded, ambitious, tenacious, loyal, energetic, warm hearted and lucky. I have found positive affirmations tend to help focus on constructive results but you do need to be aware of your mind trying to trick your whole self. Listen to the information from your heart and your stomach as well. Your skin is one of the biggest sensory organs of all and conveys a wealth of information about your own well being if you know how to read it. Totally agree with the journey metaphor - re the thirty day trial of a way of being thing have you read about the guy who decided to say yes to everything for 30 days (available on the internet somewhere but not sure which search engine to refer you to). Want to wish you many hours of fun on your voyage of discovery.Dec 7 2012: I think what you' re seeking for is not a secret to a successful career like that of Steve Job, hmmm the secret my dear Jon, is there's no secret! What this men and women do is just that, they found what they demm love to do and the devoted their life's to achieving that and gave you the privilege of paying for it: simple. If you can find something interesting that you like to do, DO it , start by just doing stuff that interest you, just like you flirt yah, like dating, applying the same principles of dating to all your ideas or concept, hang in there till you find love for it or fall in love with it (when you fall in love, you 'll know!!) and when you do; do it passionately and when that happens, nothing would hidden your ability to revive any downtime and seasonal storms of life; except if you decide to walk away from it.
You would always make a comeback because your dreams/visions are capable of waking you up from the slumbers of the night doomed on you. People who can't make easy come back can use some motivation for recovery.
I tell my clients to always search within themselves inspiration, inspiration is more of a spiritual connection, connecting you with your inner self and drawing out your Creative Energy from your "godself," in order to create stuff with it; e.g. Apple computers or poetry, as the case maybe; When you allow your inner creative energy to radiate your path to a fountain of creative force or energy, its always an amazing discovery to die for…
The ability to keep creating something ordinary or extraordinary comes from your devotion/passion to your inner inspirations and love to whatever it is that you do.
The difference between motivation and inspiration is that: motivation has external desires or reward (e.g. You go to school because you want social capital), while inspiration is a radical sync-sync, a spiritual innovation or your creative self in harmony with your wellbeing.
Dec 12 2012: Your post is awe inspiring for the fact that you so eloquently explain that there is no secret to the doing amazing things but for the fact that.... it is all about DOING!!! I am learning not only through other tedsters but my own daily walk in life is that "Doing" is the first step to actually uncovering your passion or finding what inspires you. I am not sure if everyone would agree but self talk is almost the most powerful tool that you can use when say myself is feeling no so great or inspired to do something. Telling myself over and over again that you need to accomplish this and you must do it because this is your goal is essential to succeeding at whatever I or whom ever is reading this sets there mind to accomplishing something. I am a person of words that likes to find meaning in words that are not used as frequently as they should be and here they are
Inspire - Something that gets you started and become driven in search fulfillment.
Passion - The driving force that motivates you to pursue the goal.
Devotion - To keep one focused and not waiver from your pursuit of your passion.Dec 7 2012: Jon... thanks for the post ,keep doing what you love and what you need would come your way .
Dec 12 2012: I have seen this talk and it is a very inspirational talk but what inspires you Steven and what is your passion?Nov 29 2012: Do what you love; see your expected end from where you are (a vision of you as an epitome of success); surround yourself with success-minded people in your field.
Nov 30 2012: Have you accomplished this you sound like your speaking of experience will you tell your story?
Gail .
Nov 29 2012: How do you define, "great things"?

DESTIN — Local fishermen are not ready to draw lines in the Gulf of Mexico to help manage red snapper.
"Not now" was the sentiment from most of the 104 fishermen who attended a Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (FMC) scoping meeting last week at the Destin Community Center.
The purpose was to discuss Reef Fish Amendment 39 — Regional Management of Recreational Red Snapper. The two-and-a-half hour meeting, which was called to report and take comments, was one of about a half-dozen held along the Gulf Coast in the last few weeks.
Ryan Rindone with the FMC presented information on how regional management of red snapper would look in the Gulf.
"Regional management would encourage more flexibility in how the recreational quota is managed, and it would enable areas of the Gulf to propose management measures tailored to specific regions," according to the scoping guide. "However, red snapper would remain a federally managed species and federal conservation goals and annual quotas would apply."
There also was discussion about how the regions would be divided from Texas to Florida. They could be divided into an east and west region; an east, central and west region; or a region for each state. After the regions are decided, the council would allocate the red snapper quota among them.
Destin boat Capt. Scott Robson of the Phoenix asked about the advantages of regional management.
"If we all suffer when one goes over, what's the advantage? No matter who overfishes, everybody still pays the penalty. Why go through all this process?
"That fish sees no boundary. ... I don't know how you can do it," Robson said.
Pam Anderson of Captain Anderson's Marina was concerned that in a regional approach another state could exceed its quota and close down everyone.
"If our state steps up and gives better data … why not let Florida take the ball and run for it?" Anderson said.
Capt. Jim Green of the New Florida Girl's American Spirit addressed the part of Amendment 30B that keeps federally permitted boats from fishing in state waters.
"If you're going to give us a region, remove all that unneeded stuff," Green said. "The way we're going now … we're just sinking."
Green said if the Gulf is divided into regions, there needs to be a clean break. "Give us a total number of fish," he said.
The dates for the 2013 recreational red snapper season in state and federal waters have not been set. The FMC is developing options for the upcoming year for federal waters, which will be examined at its next meeting Feb. 5-8 in Mobile, Ala.
Last year the season ran from June 1 to July 10, but gained six days because of bad weather in June. This year there is talk of a 27-day season running from June 1-27, with a two-fish bag limit, according to Pam Dana of the Gulf Council. However, the stock assessment for the red snapper will be finished in June, so the season could be extended.
Rindone said that if the stock assessment finds the numbers are up and snapper are starting to rebuild, the National Marine Fisheries Service can open or close a fishery.
"We hope the stock assessment will add to the" total allowable catch, Dana said. "Let's wait and see."
Destin's Capt. Brant Kelly of the Relentless wanted to know who was pushing the project. Dana said the Louisiana delegation has brought it to the council.
"It's just another layer of bureaucracy," Kelly said.
Destin's Capt. George Eller of the Checkmate 2 said there was some merit to regional management, "but at this time there are too many questions. It needs to be tabled until the assessment comes out. It's not your fault; it just hasn't progressed far enough along yet."

Ken Smith's list of cars, previously owned or current residents of his garage, reads like a pedigree of America's best machines: a sequence of Vettes including a drop-top '66 427, a '67 convertible 427, a '69 L89 427, two 454-powered 72s, a pair of '74 coupes, a red-on-red '77, a '79, a black and silver '82, a '95 convertible, and a '00 yellow convertible, while two GTOs, a super rare Starlight Black '69 Judge, an Orbit Orange '70 Judge, and two Mopars--a '68 426 Hemi Charger R/T and a wild, winged '69 440-powered Daytona--top off the list. But seperate from that list is this outrageously orange '69 427 concours restoration.
A shot of horsepower was injected into Ken's veins at an early age. When he was four years old, he rode in a '58 white-and-red roadster that belonged to his father's friend, and it left a lasting impression on him. His interest in cars matured as he learned to drive his sister's '68 Cougar XR7, and as he continually commandeered his mother's '69 Charger R/T during his high school years.
When Ken graduated from high school, his father decided it was time he got his first Corvette. His '73 Ford Gran Torino Sport fastback was traded in for a new '74 Corvette. Though not a fabled '69 427 or a '71 454 LS6, the small-block Sting Ray was a great introduction into the realm of Corvette ownership. Ken, while attending college at TCU, registered his vehicle with the Corvette Club of Texas. During the NCCC meet in 1977, he laid his eyes on a beautifully kept '69 Monaco Orange coupe. It would be an iconic moment for Ken as it would become his El Dorado, the subject of a search that would take, ultimately, nearly twenty years to finally conclude.
Through the years, Ken had cars come and go but none captured his heart like the orange '69. when word came through the grapevine about a true Monaco Orange 427 coupe, Ken quickly looked into it.
It seems a gentleman named Dennis Davis in Canada had a friend who wanted to completely restore a Corvette.
Unfortunately, the task was far more than his friend bargained for. Finally weary of looking at the splintered Corvette scattered across the garage floor, he sold it to Dennis, who began thrashing on the '69 solo. It took years of dedication and thousands of dollars, but the final product was a Corvette worthy enough to take Top Flight, Bloomington Gold, Triple Crown, and the Duntov award. Then with only 50 miles on the odometer, Dennis put it up for sale. Hearing about the car, Ken forwarded Dennis $25 for a video tape of the car in motion.

- It Really Works! Review by Jan
Quality Price Value
This product is my favorite "cosemetic" product. My lashes are very fine and when I use the Lash Thickener & Conditioner, it's as though I instantly grew lashes - upper and lower. Sometimes I don't even wear mascara, and my lashes still look good. When I do wear mascara, I've noticed that my mascara will last even longer - it's practically weather-proof - and I only need one coat for regular day wear. Also, this product is not heavy or goopey. It's very light and you really don't even feel it. Love it!

- Too clumpy Review by Nicole
Quality Value Price
On the plus side, this product does make lashes immediately longer! On the minus side, the conditioner is thick and leaves white clumps on the ends of my lashes. It seems to wear off after a few hours and my lashes resume to their normal length.

I put on this product before the lash lengthening mascara and it makes a big difference! My lashes look fuller and longer. Great for a night out!

There are many ways to go about removing a tattoo. One of the most popular methods to remove the tattoo is laser tattoo removal. It has become popular as not only are the results better but this method also causes less pain and there is almost no scarring. If you've decided to get your tattoo removed with the help of laser, the you have taken the right decision. None of the other tattoo removal methods have proved to as effective as laser tattoo removal. It is especially true for the colored ink tattoos or the tattoos which cover a lot of surface area.
Some people argue that laser tattoo removal is dangerous. It is not dangerous but you need to take precautions while choosing the clinic for the removal of your tattoo. First of all, you need to choose a clinic where they use the medical laser only for tattoo removal and not for any other purpose. If they use this laser for several different purposes, chances are they might scar skin, as different procedures require different intensity of lasers and it may also mean that they do not have well trained staff and proper safety equipment in place.
Another thing which you should check is whether the tattoo removal place has medical specialists who have the required experience for this procedure. These lasers are very easy to operate when used by an experienced medical professional. All of these machines have to pass through a rigourous FDA process so you can rest assured that the radiation coming out of that machine is not going to cause you any harm.
Some people are scared of the side-effects of laser tattoo removal nyc. There are zero permanent side-effects of laser tattoo removal. If you have a dark skinned or dark ink tattoo, there will be some redness and some swelling when you undergo the process of removal. These will not last long and will subside themselves within a week. If there are colored tattoo involved, then there is a chance of some blistering but it heals completely naturally, so there is no cause of worries.
Many people do not know that this process of tattoo removal does not cause any pain. There is some small discomfort but that discomfort is equivalent to what happens when one gets a tattoo. Also the whole process takes between 5 to 30 min and there are people in the centre who are trained to handle such situations. So, you should not worry about anything.
Most of the times, people need around 3 to 10 sessions to get their tattoo removed completely. Of course, it all depends on the ink used and the surface area of the tattoo. The bigger the tattoo or the darker the ink, the higher the time taken for complete removal of tattoo.
So, if you're looking for laser tattoo removal in NYC, you should rest assured that if you choose the right place with the right professionals, then the process will go through smoothly and you will have clear skin afterwards.

Inside, however, the hot-rodder thatlives in our consciousness leaves us with a pleasant thought: Nice for astocker, but I can make it better.
Qualified that way, we feel an air ofhaughtiness, real or imagined, while reveling in what the OE left on thetable for us to exploit. Some porting in the heads, a little morecompression, trick rings and bore finishes, lightweight parts, and soon; our hot-rodder's bag of tricks runs deep. Unconstrained by theimpositions faced by mass production, our custom efforts allow us thefancy of outdoing monolithic corporations wielding unimaginableresources. Normally, this ego self-gratification is part and parcel ofany OE engine review. Then it happened: the LS7 small-block debut. Theonly reactions for someone truly in the know are deference and awe.
Thesize alone gives it credence: 427 cubic inches in its all-aluminumsplendor. Matching the displacement (coincidentally?) made famous by themost legendary of performance Corvettes from a generation long past,this is the largest "small-block" engine ever produced by GeneralMotors, while maintaining the external dimensions of previous Gen IVsmall-blocks. But it encompasses so much more than its internal girth.With a rated output of 500 SAE net horsepower at 6,200 rpm, the realmechanical energy emanating from this beast far outstrips any of thebig-blocks of yore.
Based on the groundbreaking Gen IV small-blockarchitecture introduced as the LS1 in 1997, the LS7 is much more thansimply a displacement increase. It's an exotic 7,000-rpm race-derivedpowerplant brought upon the public at a level of execution unrivaled inany production car. Dave Muscaro, assistant chief engineer for passengercar V-8s, put it succinctly, "In many ways, the LS7 is a racing enginein a street car. We've taken much of what we've learned over the yearsfrom the 7-liter C5-R racing program and instilled it here. The realityis, there has been nothing like it offered in a GM production vehicle."
