With the New Year can come ambitious plans for fresh starts, grand ideas and great big projects. However, once clients settle back into the routine of daily life, the lofty goals are occasionally reassessed. What started out as "Let's finally redo our downstairs!" becomes, "What can we do to spiff up this space without too much time and effort?" Sometimes, adding a carefully placed splash of color is all it takes to inject the needed energy and character.
Recessed areas
Take a recessed space and make it an architectural feature by highlighting it in an accent color. Alcoves become cozy nooks. Bookshelf backs become artistic backdrops for displaying books and antiques. Otherwise sooty fireplace interiors transform into mini stage settings.
Hidden spaces
Playing hide and seek with colorful accents can be a source of unexpected joy and wonder. Slide open a drawer to discover a fuchsia lining. Open the door to a cheerful tangerine closet. Direct attention to the inside of a front door coated in shiny turquoise. Welcome visitors with a bright, lime green doorstep. And what about less-obvious places, such as the inside of a lampshade? Lined with a contrasting paper, it's a playful surprise when turned on. Door handles and drawer pulls or knobs can also be painted or swapped out for something more dynamic and colorful. Neglected elements and spaces can become charming surprises.
Color blocking
A big, bare wall lacking interest can pack some special as well as spatial punch if you apply color blocking. No headboard? Achieve the same effect by creating a simple silhouette on the wall behind the bed. By adding solid geometric areas of contrasting hues to break up the mass of a wall – or add focus to art and furniture – you achieve instant drama.
Why must trim always be white? The molding around windows and doors are an excellent opportunity to have some fun with color. And you can extend the fun by painting an additional border around trim to visually expand the size of windows. Update and highlight paneling by painting the insides a contrasting color to the wall color, and add a third color on the molding for depth. Or, try a new color on coving and cornicing.
While on the topic of features near the ceiling, let's not forget the very important "fifth wall." Ceilings are an excellent opportunity to imbue a room with color from subtle to shocking. Your eye is naturally drawn to the area of highest contrast, and stark white ceilings often seem to be neglected. Try a soft shade of sky blue or a brazen crimson. Cove and tray ceilings work especially well for this treatment.
Transition spaces are equally overlooked as an opportunity to inject color. Instead of your traditional wood or carpeted stairs, why not paint or paper the risers a contrasting color, or create a painted runner down the center? It's a simple yet high-impact change.
Like Cinderella magically becoming a princess for the grand ball, so too can old appliances and furniture receive a new lease on life. An old claw-foot tub can don a coat of primer and a splash of color, while a hand-me-down dresser becomes a family heirloom in a new suit of lacquer.
Like fashion designer Christian Louboutin – who, in determining that his shoes lacked energy, grabbed a bottle of nail polish and added bright red paint to the soles – you can find a myriad of fun, easy and truly inspiring ways to add that unexpected punch of color.

The Supreme Court's War on the Great Society
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) is arguably the most important and successful civil rights legislation passed by the United States Congress. Today, without remotely adequate justification, a bare majority of the Supreme Court cut the heart out of the centerpiece of the Great Society. That this outcome was expected doesn't make it any less outrageous.
The key issue in Shelby County v. Holder is the "preclearance" provisions of the Voting Rights Act. Section 4 of the VRA "covers" numerous jurisdictions—predominantly but not exclusively Southern—with a history of vote discrimination and Section 5 of the VRA requires the covered jurisdictions to get approval from the federal government before changing their voting laws. We should start with the explicit constitutional authority for this legislation. The majority opinion asserts that "the Framers of the Constitution intended the States to keep for themselves, as provided in the Tenth Amendment, the power to regulate elections." The problem, of course, is that the balance the framers and ratifiers of the Constitution of 1787 and 1789 established between the federal government and the states in supervising voting has been rendered obsolete by the Civil War Amendments. Section 2 of the 15th Amendment states that "[t]he Congress shall have power to enforce [the 15th Amendment's prohibition of racial discrimination in voting] by appropriate legislation." There is no question about Congress's authority to prohibit racial discrimination in voting. Legislation directed to this end does not interfere with any state "sovereignty" protected by the Constitution, and Congress should be given broad discretion to act.
Nevertheless, Chief Justice Roberts (speaking for the Court's four other Republican appointees) held a crucial provision of the VRA unconstitutional. The majority did not strike down Section 5, but it did strike down Section 4—in other words, maintaining the "preclearance" provision but as of now not applying it to any states. According to Roberts, times have changed, and therefore Congress's authority has changed as well. (Remarkably, Section II A of Roberts's opinion, laying out a theory of state sovereignty on voting that justifies his palpable disrespect for Congress, does not mention the 15th Amendment at all.) "Congress," the majority says, "did not use the record it compiled to shape a coverage formula grounded in current conditions. It instead reenacted a formula based on 40-year-old facts having no logical relation to the present day." If Congress does not continually update Section 4, it cannot apply the preclearance provision, because patterns of discrimination have changed.
The problems with this argument are manifest. As Ruth Bader Ginsburg argues in the latest of her brilliant dissents, the Court perversely uses the success of the Voting Rights Act as an argument against it. As she observes, "throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet." The extensive history of states creatively nullifying the 15th Amendment provided a strong justification for preclearance, and the effectiveness of the provision shows that Congress was justified. To the majority, this very effectiveness makes the legislation "inappropriate." To restate this argument is to refute it. Section 4 may not represent the states that Chief Justice Roberts believes should be covered by it and it would not represent my list either, but this isn't the issue. To be constitutional, legislation enforcing the 15th Amendment needn't be "ideal," it need only be "appropriate." Section 4 continues to pass this test easily, and there is no legitimate warrant for the Supreme Court to usurp the authority of Congress in this case.
In contrast to Justice Thomas's openly radical concurrence—he argues that Section 5 is unconstitutional—the Chief Justice's opinion is cloaked in apparent modesty. "Congress," the majority generously concedes, "may draft another formula based on current conditions." But, as Justice Scalia has previously written about Roberts's superficially "minimalist" opinions, "this faux judicial restraint is judicial obfuscation." Forcing Congress to start from scratch makes it enormously difficult for Congress to pass a modified Section 4; the basic institutional realities of the American institutional framework make inertia the most powerful force. Once a legislative coalition has been torn apart, it cannot be easily reassembled. The Supreme Court isn't acting as a mere neutral arbiter here; it's putting an anvil on the scale tilting toward Republican opponents of voting rights.
And, secondly, beware the bait-and-switch. Even in the unlikely event that Congress can pass a new version of Section 4, it will be enormously difficult to meet the arbitrary standards that a Supreme Court consistently hostile to federal intervention to protect basic rights has laid out. If a new Section 4 covers too few jurisdictions, it can be held to illegally discriminate against some states (as the Court did today.) If Congress creates a national preclearance requirement, however, it is virtually certain that the Republican-appointed majority of the Court would hold that this remedy was not "congruent and proportional," as it held when Congress tried to protect victims of gender-based violence under its authority to enforce the 14th Amendment. It is nearly impossible to satisfy the demands of a Court that takes equality between the states much more seriously than the equal rights of American citizens.
Roberts's seemingly modest opinion, therefore, is anything but. The odds that a new Section 4 can pass both houses of Congress and be the Goldilocks statute that will cover neither too many nor too few states to satisfy the Roberts Court's inscrutable but consistently anti-Congress whims are roughly equivalent to the odds that Nancy Pelosi will be the Republican candidate for president in 2016. The effect of the majority's opinion will likely be to quietly accomplish what Thomas's inconveniently candid holding that Section 5 is unconstitutional would prefer to do directly.
It is simply not the role of the Court to arbitrarily micromanage an area of clear congressional authority this way. Justice Ginsburg powerfully points out the appropriate stance that should be taken toward Congress in this case:
After exhaustive evidence-gathering and deliberative process, Congress reauthorized the VRA, including the coverage provision, with overwhelming bipartisan support. It was the judgment of Congress that "40 years has not been a sufficient amount of time to eliminate the vestiges of discrimination following nearly 100 years of disregard for the dictates of the 15th amendment and to ensure that the right of all citizens to vote is protected as guaranteed by the Constitution." That determination of the body empowered to enforce the Civil War Amendments "by appropriate legislation" merits this Court's utmost respect. In my judgment, the Court errs egregiously by overriding Congress' decision.
There is a long and ignoble American tradition of using vague invocations of "states' rights" to trump real, fundamental human rights. The Roberts Court's inept intervention into an area of clear congressional authority on the grounds that a valid statute passed by Congress has been too successful at preventing discrimination is very much in that tradition. Congress should do what it can to respond to this seizure of its proper authority, although it will probably take a change not only in the partisan control of the House of Representative but a change in personnel of the Court to successfully restore the Voting Rights Act.

Following the logic of your article, wrongs committed in the past must be carefully scrutinized in perpetuity – whether there appears to be a change in behavior or not. Interesting notion. By this logic we would have to be administering regular random drug tests to our president; since he once was a drug user – ignoring his behavior since that time. Don't think this "logic" passes muster.
Have a great day.
Tue, 2013-06-25 15:02
What an incredibly poor analogy. Regular random drug tests are indeed administered to lots of people who have been ensnared in our criminal justice system, and if they fail the tests, they don't get to opt out because those who haven't been convicted don't have to take them. Part of what Congress did prior to reauthorization of VRA was to administer a "drug test" to those pre-clearance areas. They entered exhaustive studies and sets of facts into the record that examined whether or not these areas were "clean". They weren't. Congress subsequently reauthorized these sections of VRA overwhelmingly. Only a "counselor" who didn't give a shit about whether or not their "patient" was on drugs could review that work and decide the tests were actually given in error.
These 5 justices are just that kind of counselor, they really aren't concerned whether states put in hurdles to voting that disproportionately impact minority groups. Only Thomas has the balls to actually be straightforward about it.
Tue, 2013-06-25 19:09
Wed, 2013-06-26 10:02
What an incredibly poor understanding of an analogy. Your position (and that of the Obama admin) is - under the terms of your "explanation" is that because your grandfather took drugs, you have to be tested daily. No wait, that does not encapsulate it in its entirety. It would better be stated as, because you live in an area where someone's grandfather used drugs (even if you have no relationship with that person's grandfather and even moved to the area last week) you must be tested.
Only a counselor who does not give a shit about their patient would subject them to a constant infringement of their rights.
Wed, 2013-06-26 13:24
Cheers. Indeed I must not understand the word (analogy: similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based; similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise dissimilar; a comparison based on such similarity; etc.). The situation described in the article was one where a punishment was doled out based on current information. The punishment continued after the situation changed. The apparently inept analogy posited a punishment being doled out years after the infraction occurred. If these situations were diagramed, they would look almost identical. Not sure what else an analogy could do. Have a great day!
Wed, 2013-06-26 16:13
You completely miss the point. The VRA is not intended as a punishment to certain states and counties. Instead it is an effort through the 15th Amendment to protect the voting rights of folks who, as a matter of historical fact, where hindered in their attempts to vote.
Think about it. What punishment was meted out to individuals? to living breathing people?
Wed, 2013-06-26 17:26
Greetings. I see your point. The intent was noble, not punishment. But I will ask you to consider that the effort to"protect the voting rights of folks," while not punishment per se, has a similar impact. Prior to the states bad behavior they had the freedom to make changes in their states. Afterwards they lost that freedom. I equated that loss of freedom as a form of punishment (erroneously?); just as I would view any legislated or court-ordered loss of my personal freedoms due to my bad behavior as punishment. Thoughts?
Thu, 2013-06-27 03:04
States are not persons (though since corporations apparently are, maybe this was one line of reasoning taken by the justices). States are legal entities, and changing their rules to protect actual persons punishes no one except in the exact same sense that restricting the states' ability to reinstitute slavery by majority vote punishes them. If you have a problem with the federal government eliminating slavery because hey, that punishes "state entities", which is just like punishing "person entities", argue away. Don't expect much sympathy.
Tue, 2013-06-25 16:57
Congrats, you win the stupid award for the day.
States have been continuously changing voting rules to disenfranchise minority voters. The attempts of the GOP hasn't changed in the last 30 years. I guess that's why, when it came up for renewal 6 years ago, the Senate voted 98-0. And, even your sainted Bush Jr. said it was a great thing to do.
Yeah, that was before the f*cking nut jobs were voted in.

What's actually unconstitutional is the SCOTUS's power to nullify laws by declaring them unconstitutional. Contrary to liberal myth this power has been used far more to protect the powerful than the powerless.

It's not as bad as it looks.
One of my assignments as 1L summer intern for the Massachusetts Attorney General was to analyze the Voting Rights Act. A jurisdiction could be required to submit for preclearance all proposed changes in voting if it met either of the following criteria: 1. it demonstrated by certain considerations discrimination in voting laws, or 2. it is one of a few enumerated states, essentially a state that had been part of the Confederacy. Parts of Massachusetts satisfied the first criterion.
This decision does not seem to touch the first criterion. If it stands, states that satisfy the second criterion could still be found to satisfy the first criterion. It still has the opportunity to challenge this determination.

The author of this article is having a conniption fit cause Section 4 of the VRA was overturned. He does not give credit to the fact that it is using data that is almost as old as me to enforce something that was meant to be temporary to begin with. He sees racists under every rock and in every nook and cranny of this country. I hate to get his fantasy all wet but racial intolerance ain't what it use to be. Even the KKK is not viewed that favorably anymore in the South. They have lost their punch with the common people down here. Yes, I am a Southerner, so I know of what I write.:) You see mixed marriages all the time down here. Something back in the 60's that would get you hanged from the nearest tree. So the times have changed and so has the people's atitudes regarding race. The Progressives need to get a grip and deal with the fact that it ain't 1965 anymore.:)

"Congress shall have power to enforce [the 15th Amendment's prohibition of racial discrimination in voting] by appropriate legislation"
SCOTUS did not rule against Congress' power to enforce - it ruled that the current law of enforcement is no longer appropriate (unconstitutional because discriminating between localities based on egregiously out-of-date data).
States' authority to regulate elections is intact; Congress' authority to enforce non-discrimination in States' regulations is intact.

"As [Justice Ginsburg] observes, "throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet."
This proposition that effectiveness is an adequate justification for unconstitutional expansion of federal power is exactly the same one being used to justify the unprecedented violation of our right to privacy by the NSA. Inspecting our homes on a weekly basis would no doubt render the majority of law-abiding citizens safer from crime but none would countenance an attempt to justification such intrusions based on their effectiveness.
I wonder if the author would find the VRA unconstitutional had been extended in perpetuity. No? How about for 100 years? No? Clearly at some point using past history as justification for current abrogation of State Sovereignty crosses the Constitutional boundary. Congress should gets off its duff and enact legislation with a rational formula that directly addresses the problem Ginsburg refers to ("2nd generation discriminatory methods") which would under any rational-means test apply equally to Ohio as to Alabama. (Guess which state has the highest gap between white and black voter turn-out. That's correct, Massachusetts).

We knew this gang of 5 did not respect the law when they ignored Florida state law and selected the President of their political ideology. It has gone downhill since then. Citizen's United gave a boost to corruption of the political system. Today we can see what the 6 southern states could not get past the DOJ go into law. It gerrymanders further which has been a key to success. Surely we can do better than having some voters of color stand in line 7 hours to vote next to white Republican districts where it is in and out. Jim Crow id laws are made up to fit the person and often cost money. All the red states are in open rebellion to the federal government. The problem for the old white guys is that they have attacked everyone but themselves. Their days of total power are numbered although the end of their rule can not come soon enough.

Looking throughout the history of the United States, to this very day, whenever you hear the term "states rights" you can rest assured that injustice is being done. It was the argument used to support slavery, it was the argument used to support Jim Crow and segregation, and today it is the argument used to justify attacking the rights and welfare of our citizens.

Obama Wins the Future
President Barack Obama waves at his election night party Wednesday night in Chicago.
Election Day 2008 crackled with possibility—with the electric buzz of history being made, of a country being transformed. A race-haunted nation was poised to elect its first black president. The economic and military catastrophes of the Bush years—and the religious haters, the Wall Street hustlers, and the chicken-hawk neocons who caused them—were about to be rejected. Change was coming: symbolic, palpable, and thrillingly uncertain.
The 2012 election never appeared to carry the same historical weight. For progressives, especially, this campaign seemed all along to be more about averting disaster—the atrocities the radical right had in store if Republicans won the White House and controlled both the House and the Senate—than about forging a new liberal path for the country. The moment for that had passed. The consensus, on both left and right, was expressed by The New York Times's David Brooks: "If Obama wins, we'll probably get small-bore stasis." Not exactly the stuff of heart-pounding drama.
But Tuesday's surprisingly emphatic victory could prove more consequential than most had dared to dream. Indeed, what was won this year could be far more important than what was won four years ago. As the president said in his soaring victory oration early Wednesday morning, "This isn't small; this is big, this is important." It is.
We should have known it all along. The great question of 2012 was one that had not been debated in earnest, in a national forum, for 40 years: Is America a democracy for all or a state ruled by the elite? Long before the general-election campaign began, the president framed the contest in precisely those terms. Last December in Kansas, Obama laid it out in terms he had never used in 2008:
What's at stake is whether this will be a country where working people can earn enough to raise a family, build a modest savings, own a home, secure their retirement. Now, in the midst of this debate, there are some who seem to be suffering from a kind of collective amnesia. After all that's happened, after the worst economic crisis, the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, they want to return to the same practices that got us into this mess. In fact, they want to go back to the same policies that stacked the deck against middle-class Americans for way too many years. And their philosophy is simple: We are better off when everybody is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules.
I am here to say they are wrong. I'm here … to reaffirm my deep conviction that we're greater together than we are on our own. I believe that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, when everyone does their fair share, when everyone plays by the same rules. These aren't Democratic values or Republican values. These aren't 1 percent values or 99 percent values. They're American values. And we have to reclaim them.
This populist message became—despite the distractions and the gaffes and the polls and the media static—the unwavering message of the Obama campaign. His opponent ran, by contrast, on what may have been the most radical right-wing agenda a major political party has ever offered. Mitt Romney, constitutionally incapable of challenging the anti-government and anti-democratic ideas that have taken hold of his party, embraced them—even to the point of nominating Paul Ryan, their foremost champion, as his running mate.
This was not a small-potatoes election. This was a "choice" election, as both Obama and Romney repeatedly insisted, and the Republicans' attempt to tilt the playing field in their direction raised the stakes even further. Their attempts at voter suppression—through voter-ID laws, through partisan manipulations by GOP election officials, and through organizing "citizen groups" to harass low-income and minority voters at the polls—backfired spectacularly. African Americans would not be denied the franchise they had fought for; they matched their record turnout of 2008. Latinos raised theirs; they were 10 percent of the electorate. Democracy was challenged in a way that it hadn't been since Jim Crow, and democracy prevailed.
Americans made foundational choices in this election. We decided that we do not support the wholesale demolition of government. We rejected the wealth-first economics that Romney represented—and embodied. We affirmed our belief in a social contract and our wariness of the "fend for yourself" philosophy of Ayn Rand Republicanism. We loudly insisted that women's economic and reproductive rights are essential. We dismissed the idea that immigrants are a drag on the country's future.
These were mighty choices. They were made even mightier by the fact that this election was, as New York magazine's Jonathan Chait wrote, "the white right's last gasp." Until Tuesday night, it remained possible that a Republican Party supported almost exclusively by conservative white people could win one last time and could then proceed to dismantle the social-welfare system so thoroughly over the next four or eight years that it would take decades to rebuild it again.
But Americans didn't let it happen. The president ran, and won, on the most resonant pro-government message Democrats have offered in four decades. He did it by assembling the most diverse political coalition in the nation's history—huge majorities of young people, African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, women, and highly educated whites.
That is a coalition of the future. It is also a coalition that is far and away more liberal, in terms of both economic and social views, than the supporters cobbled together by any Democratic president in history. Franklin Roosevelt depended on conservative whites from the South for his victories; so did Truman, Kennedy, and, to a lesser extent, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton. Obama did not. Going forward, future Democratic presidents will not either. This opens up a politics of progressive possibility that, just two days ago, few were envisioning.
Think about it. The white right can no longer carry national elections. Democrats no longer need to appeal to that reactionary demographic to win. That is perhaps the biggest, most revelatory, news that came out of last night. Romney made his appeal exclusively to the white right; he ignored and, quite often, insulted everyone else. But "everyone else" defeated him.
Will the president govern accordingly? Will he translate a campaign that he built around an affirmation of good government and the social contract into a second term far different from the cautious centrism of his first? Liberal skeptics will believe it when they see it. But consider this: The president now knows, as he did not in 2008, that a majority of Americans believe in a government that works to make the country more equitable and less cruel. The winds of history that favored his candidacy in 2008 now favor his governance in 2012 and beyond.
It also won't hurt that Democrats will now get to take credit for the strong growth that most economists believe will occur over the next four years. The Bush years did much to discredit trickle-down economics—and the worst thing for our political future would have been a trickle-down president presiding over a boom. It wouldn't have mattered if a President Romney had little to do with creating the boom. Voters associated upticks and downturns with the party that holds the White House. Now they will associate it with Obama and the liberal idea that smart government is also smart economics.
The right will not wither or relent in response to the message this election has delivered. But progressives can now take heart. The conservative consensus that took hold of America with Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 is over. The idea that government is the enemy no longer prevails. Obama may not have created a new liberal movement—and he may not do so in the next four years. But the emerging liberal majority can.

Not only did this election provide proof that people understand the difference between an incomplete recovery and a failed one (even though statistics showed that 2012 was a huge improvement over 2009, though less than hoped, GOP ads and speeches claimed falsely that the economy was WORSE now than in 2009), it also provided proof that big money does not ALWAYS work, especially the last minute repetition of arguments that were not believed the first dozen times people heard them. In fact, in a number of down ballot races, the GOP-supporting super PAC ads rushed through in the last two weeks may have turned off more voters than they convinced, and only redundantly incited the base that was already incited to turn out and vote against Democrats anyway!
The worst of the worst in Congress were turned away, being unable to live down their "rape jokes" despite painting their opponents as Communists or worse (Claire McCaskill was denounced as "not ladylike" enough, the two Tammys were condemned for their "liberal" ideologies and, in Duckworth's case, for being a "phony" war hero despite her actual heroism, and for being a lesbian; and guess what, the lesbian won! and Elizabeth Warren was accused of being a "phony" Cherokee, complete with racist war whoops).
And the four for four victories of gay rights and progress in legalizing marijuana in state referenda show that, although the right wing hate machine is still active, and may put their white hoods back on out of desperation in some states, the majority of Americans have outgrown that childish attitude. Remember, EVEN a substantial portion of the 48.1 percent who voted for Romney believed (erroneously) that he would govern in a moderate fashion if elected!
Now we need to keep active in progressive causes, and those who left their religious upbringing need to go back and fight the right wing attitudes WITHIN their old churches and synagogues, or find liberal ones (there are plenty of Christian and Jewish congregations that have liberal social and economic agendas, even some gay-friendly ones) and become ACTIVE, to show the media and America that religious faith does not belong only to the right wing; it never did!

"huge majorities of young people, African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, women, and highly educated whites." Do you think maybe you left someone out of coalition of Obama supporters? How about union members who not only voted in large majorities for Obama, but also had a massive ground operation that made decisive contributions to the President's victory.

Through a series of vignettes, Elizabeth Gaskell portrays a community governed by old-fashioned habits and dominated by friendships between women. Her wry account of rural life is undercut, however, by tragedy: with such troubling events as Matty's bankruptcy, the death of Captain Brown, and the unwitting cruelty of Peter Jenkyns.
© and (P)2014 Audible, Inc.
"throughly enjoyed this"
A lovely, gentle satire of the Ladies of Cranford. Written with affection and respect and an incredible eye to detail (which I enjoyed) and exceptionally well read by my favorate narrator.
Reading is one of life's greatest pleasures...and, now that I've found audiobooks, I can read even while performing mundane tasks!
"Quietly, subtly sweet and heartwarming"
If you don't listen closely, you may miss the subtle sweetness of this heartwarming tale. There were times, mostly in the beginning, when my mind wandered and I became impatient with the seemingly trivial accounts of this Cranford lady or that. But I'm SO glad I kept listening, and had the opportunity to get to know and love Miss Mattie! What an example of the embodiment humility, kindness, and justice she is! The only other Elizabeth Gaskell novel I've read is "North and South." I loved it, and was expecting something similar from "Cranford." The novels couldn't be more dissimilar when it comes to plot and pace, but when it comes to highlighting the beauty of human decency, both do an excellent job.
I like to listen to classic literature while I'm on the treadmill at the gym. The deep meaningful thoughts drown out the inane pop music.
"Absolutely charming!"
After having seen Cranford and Return to Cranford on PBS, my daughters and I were interested in hearing the original story. We were delighted! What a wonderful book to listen to by the fireside as we did this winter. We're great fans of Elizabeth Gaskell now.
Narrative makes the world go round.
"4 stars for narrator; 3 for novel"
The is <i>very</i> gentle social satire, and a poor cousin to most of Austen's, but I liked the book very much under the circumstances in which I listened - Lying sick in bed for a couple of days, I enjoyed the novel in just two sessions. However, if you're looking for something to inspire your morning work out, this wouldn't be it!
"Slow but beautiful"
This is a slow moving novel that beautifully portrays life in a Victorian small town, where delicacy is the order of the day despite poverty. It isn't tragic, but there is a sense of gentle sadness about the stifled lives of the ladies of Cranford and their lost chances.
"One of my go-to listens!"
I love this book! Its a series of vignettes of the lives of women in Cranford. I first decided to listen to this when they announced that it was coming to masterpiece classic, and while i thoroughly enjoyed the show, the book is so much better. Even after so many listens, I still crack up at the antics of some of the characters. Prunella Scales does a wonderful narration and Mrs Gaskell does a great job making the everyday lives of Victiorian women entertaining. I would recommend this to those who enjoy the novels of Georgette Heyer and are looking for something similar yet different.
Thomas Otto
"Just as lovely as the TV adaptation"
Prunella scales is wonderful at bringing out the finesse and refinement of Elizabeth Gaskell's writing. It is a very comforting listening experience.
I am a former language arts teacher who likes to read and listen to audiobooks. I love a well-told story whether it is fiction or biography. I have a book on my iPod, iPad, and by my bed at all times!
"Wonderful narration!"
Prunella Scales is a fabulous narrator.
It was a classic that had a very slow pace with little action. I enjoyed the characters, but this is not my cup of tea.
Miss Smith, the narrator, was perfect, and, of course, Miss Mattie. I liked the maid, too, but she spoke so quickly that I could not understand all of what she said.
"fantastic narration, dull content"
Prunella Scales does an amazing job narrating, but I found myself waiting for some sort of climax and was shocked and dismayed when the book ended without any.
"Not everyone's cup of tea"
Prunella Scales is super but the book certainly isn't for everyone. No story line. No action. Rambling. Tedious. Save your credit/money.
"Best Cranford Reading!"
Prunella Scales is an excellent intrepreter of Mrs Gaskell, I loved her characterization and reading of 'Wives and Daughters', and this first and lighter work by EG is just as fabulous.
This actress shows respect for the book, the emotions of the plot are accurately voiced and I really have her work as one of the reasons I love audio books. Forget the dreadful abridged or US readings, (sorry, I'd say the same if an English reader was doing an American work) and listen to this one, the only and best in my opinion.
Prunella Scales is a wonderful reader, sensitive to the nuances of Gaskell's writing and able to bring out all the comedy and pathos of this underrated book. Delightful!
"Brilliantly read"
This is beautifully read by Prunella Scales.
You don't get much definition of voice between different characters, but it could be said that the same is true of the original book, as one person relays everything that happens to the reader. You're drawn into the lives and gossip of the women of Cranford, giving a social history of the time, but in a very minute way.
"Wonderful storytelling "
Absolutely loved it. The story is so uplifting and Prunella Scales is a perfect narrator.
"Beautifully read - great story"
This is very gentle and whilst it won't have you on the edge of your seat it is soothingly addictive
I loved the TV series, but this didn't hold my interest at all.

Mayor visits city, seeks stronger sense 'that we are one'
TIJUANA Saying the rich potential of cross-border relations has not been tapped, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner on Monday pledged to promote increased ties with Tijuana at every level — from cultural initiatives to student exchanges to joint lobbying trips with his Mexican counterpart.
"We have to strengthen the sense that we are one, that we don't just give lip service to dos ciudades, una región (two cities, one region) but actually make it true," Filner said during a meeting hosted by the Tijuana Economic Development Corporation, or DEITAC.
The event marked Filner's first formal public appearance in Tijuana since he took office in December, staff members said, though he has crossed south on two other occasions since becoming mayor.
Fighting for U.S. federal funds to relieve congestion at San Diego's border crossings is a priority for Filner. "It's the biggest obstacle to our relationship, for commercial things, for business," he said. With Tijuana Mayor Carlos Bustamante, "we're going to travel to Mexico City and to Washington together to try to make the case that this is so important to both countries, both cities, both peoples."
In recent weeks, Filner has announced moves to increase cross-border contact with Tijuana, including the establishment of a telephone hotline linking his office directly to Bustamante's. He has appointed a staff member, Mario López, to focus full time on border affairs.
And he plans to open San Diego's first office in Tijuana next month. In its initial phase, the city will operate out of DEITAC's offices in the city's Río Zone, where the business group has offered space free of charge.
One way to truly become a binational region, Filner said, would be for Tijuana and San Diego to share the same area code — a move that would not only save the cost of calling long distance but also offer a powerful symbol.
Filner had broached the idea while serving as a congressman representing California's border with Mexico. "Technically, it's a trivial matter, you throw a few switches," he said Monday. "Politically, it's more difficult."
John Eger, a telecommunications lawyer and professor at San Diego State University, promoted such a proposal in the 1990s. "It's important that we find a way to blur the border, and one way to do that would be to establish a common area code," Eger said. The proposal failed, he said "for want of support in Mexico City."
On Monday, members of Tijuana's business community urged the mayor to take action on other fronts. David Mayagoitia, the president of DEITAC, said a good first step would be supporting the rebuilding of rail links on both sides of the border — a move he said would help spur growth for the region's automotive industry.
Tijuana's future also depends on improving the city's reputation in San Diego and beyond, Mayagoitia said. "We need San Diego to help us overcome the image problem."
Bustamante said he hoped Filner could continue the relationship developed with San Diego's previous mayor, Jerry Sanders, and "take it to a new level."

A 2009 American documentary film directed by Robert Kenner< read all 13 reviews
What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Food, Inc. is a 2009 American documentary film directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Robert Kenner. The film examines corporate farming in the United States, concluding that the meat and vegetables produced by agribusiness have many hidden costs and are unhealthy and environmentally-harmful. The film is narrated by Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser. The documentary generated extensive controversy in that it was heavily criticized by large American corporations engaged in industrial food production.
The film's first segment examines the industrial production of meat (chicken, beef, and pork), calling it inhumane and economically and environmentally unsustainable. The second segment looks at the industrial production of grains and vegetables (primarily corn and soy beans), again labeling this economically and environmentally unsustainable. The film's third and final segment is about the economic and legal power of the major food companies, such as food libel laws, whose livelihoods are based on supplying cheap but contaminated food, the heavy use of petroleum-based chemicals (largely pesticides and fertilizers), and the promotion of unhealthy food consumption habits by the American public.
The film has generated controversy for its views. The producers invited on-screen rebuttals from Monsanto Company, Tyson Foods, Smithfield Foods, Perdue Farms, and other companies, but all declined the invitation. Monsanto says it invited the filmmakers to a ...

From Staff and Wire Reports
PEARL — Mississippi Emergency Management Agency Director Mike Womack says victims of severe weather late last month will be eligible to apply for federal disaster loans.
Womack on Wednesday announced the disaster declaration by the U.S. Small Business Administration. He says the declaration is for Monroe and Oktibbeha counties and the nine contiguous counties of Chickasaw, Choctaw, Clay, Itawamba, Lee, Lowndes, Noxubee, Webster and Winston.
Womack says the areas were affected by the severe storms on Nov. 29-30. Overnight on Nov. 29, an EF-2 tornado tore through portions of Starkville, leaving the worst damage behind in The Pines mobile home park off Louisville Street.
Womack says in a news release a disaster outreach loan center will be located at the Becker Community Center in Amory. He says another loan center will be at the Courthouse Annex Building on Main Street in Starkville. Both centers open Friday.
The Starkville center will be located in Courtroom B at 108 W. Main St. and open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
People will also be able to make applications 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at (800) 659-2955 or (800) 877-8339 for the hearing impaired, or by visiting the SBA's website at http://www.sba.gov/ [1].
Applicants have until Feb. 7 to submit loan applications to the U.S. Small Business Administration Processing and Disbursement Center at 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.
SBA helps homeowners, renters, nonprofit organizations and businesses. Rates on SBA disaster loans will be as low as 2.25 percent for homeowners and renters, 3 percent for nonprofits and 4 percent for businesses. Residents and businesses do not have to wait until insurance claims are settled to apply, MEMA officials said in a statement.
SBA offers disaster loans up to $200,000 to repair disaster damaged primary residences and up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged personal property such as furniture and clothing.
Businesses of any size and private non-profit organizations may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and other business assets.

Meet the man behind Forza Motorsport
Boss Dan Greenawalt talks Top Gear, McLaren P1s and what we can expect from Forza Motorsport 5…
Posted: 21 Jun 2013
So in November, Microsoft will be bolting a supercharger, KERS and NOX to its Xbox 360, slapping on a new badge - the Xbox One - and launching the next generation of games consoles. It's accepted wisdom that a new console needs to launch alongside an all-new driving game, so step forward Microsoft-owned publisher Turn 10 and its revered racing sim, Forza Motorsport. We caught up with Forza Motorsport 5's creative director Dan Greenawalt, to find out what more power under the hood of a console means for the next generation of driving games...
So Dan, tell us what gifts does a next gen system give to a studio like Turn 10 and a game like Forza?
Well you know, about four years ago when the platform teams were planning out the Xbox one, they came to a lot of the first party and third party teams and said, "What are the games that you want to create? What are you looking for?"
Well, you'd hope so.
Well yes, obviously we were one of the teams that they came to. And we wanted to be native 1080p, 60 frames per second, we were looking already at things like open wheel racing and there were changes we wanted to do with the physics to be able to do that. Not only because we wanted to do the kinetic model to get the suspension right, but also because those cars are so much faster, even than an LMP [Le Mans Prototype] car. So being able to maintain a 1080p 60fps at those speeds, that was important. We were still nowhere near the power that we would expect out of a console at that point.
But we started getting at the physically-based material and recreating the way that paint has multiple layers, and the imperfections that you see on the machining of wheels, rotors and inside the paint coat, and bringing a city like Prague to life with the history, and pock marks on the cobblestones, all that was a new way of doing materials and requires a lot of power. So the Xbox One does a really good job of actually delivering on physically based materials.
Sounds complicated... Anything else?
The other thing was being cloud powered. This is something that I've been really excited about since the original Drivatar, but we didn't actually know how we'd ever realise it. The idea of big data just wasn't around back then. So the original Drivatar, it's a learning system, it's machine learning, it's a Bayesian network [a statistical model which represents a set of random models and their conditional dependencies. If that helps] which was way ahead of its time back in 2005.
We updated that in subsequent Forzas, but we didn't tear it down and rethink the entire problem. And this is what's so exciting about the new Drivatar. It's not really like AI. It's like big data. It's like search. So we log telemetry on you and the servers just start thinking about it. They start collecting and looking at other people and other data and it's not really about what you did at that point per se, it's about building a model. Because if a collection of people start doing something similar, then the overall system learns that new behaviour. Like check braking, we don't tell it to check brake, but if enough people check brake it learns how to check brake. And it doesn't mean that everybody's Drivatar check brakes, it just learned a new behaviour because the population learned it. And then, if you happen to check brake, your Drivatar says, "Oh yeah, I know how to do that!" so it's going to continue to evolve as more people drive. And that to me is what's so exciting, every time you log in, there'll be something new. People have said it sound like replays, but it's nothing like replays, it's nothing like line following.
Okay, geek alert. I hardly understood a word of that. Is there an idiot's guide, please?
I know. I love this s**t and I'm sorry about that! The easiest way is that all the things you're fearful about in sci-fi, and AI coming to life and killing humanity? Basically, that's what Drivatar is. Skynet is officially self aware! It happened today! Look, it's basically a learning machine, and it is techy and that's actually been the struggle, you know? I was really excited about this because I know the impact it's going to have when you go into a race and see cars faking each other out, not faking you out, AI playing with each other, racecraft, when have you ever seen racing AI have a racecraft? Where they fake left, dodge right, where they don't just draft and hit each other, but they hit each other because they wanted to, and had that intention.
Or they go three abreast, totally clean, complex passes where they're cutting corners, learning faster ways around the track than a traditional AI system would do? It's that kind of experience that people are going to see. I was explaining on the tech side, but on the experience side, you're not going to be able to tell the difference between really, really fast people, you know, humans! In multiplayer, and griefing humans, and everything else, it'll be humanity in your single player, and I know that some people are concerned about, "I don't want griefers in my game!" that's okay! You've got difficulty settings. You don't have to have them in your game.
So where you had computer controlled AI, you've now got people that the game has learned from, from their telemetry being uploaded to the cloud?
Yeah, and it looks like them as well, so if I get into a race, my brother, my sister will be in the race, and they'll be driving their cars from their garage, their customised liveries, and they're going to drive the way they drive. You know, my sister tends to cut me off, and she does an outside/inside pass all the time on me. That's what her Drivatar's going to do.
The hero cars are the McLaren P1 and the Pagani Huayra. How do you choose the hero car in your games?
Well it's interesting because at E3 those cars are getting the lion's share of the media, but actually I would say the hero car is the P1. And we choose our hero car on a few different levels. We're looking for partners who are actually going to bring something in to the simulation of the game. But we see ourselves as an editorial group. We don't play favourites. So we had Audi help us at the launch of Forza Motorsport 3. Audi didn't get any preferential treatment, but we did actually get a lot of data from their race team, because data makes our simulation better, not just on their cars, on all cars. McLaren's the same way. That's actually the great thing about a partnership with McLaren. They're a technology company. So imagine you want to do a better physics simulation of open wheel and you want to improve your aerodynamics. McLaren? They're on a short list.
There's some expertise there...
Exactly. And it just so happens that these cars like the LaFerrari, the Huayra and the P1, these are cars that only come out every 15 years. And so to happen to have the P1 come out now, you know, that's just an incredibly fortuitous event.
It has been an amazing couple of years for hypercar concepts, with the likes of the LaFerrari, Lamborghini Veneno and the Aston Martin CC100. How flexible can you guys be in putting cars in your game at late notice?
Because of our process of bringing cars to life, we are incredibly inflexible. It takes us almost six months to build a car, and that's if the manufacturer gives us CAD. And what we've found is that the manufacturer's data is often nowhere near as accurate as we need it. So we usually have to put our hands on it. The CADs helpful, but then we put our hands on it and we laser scan it and take photographs and it just takes a long time to build, especially when we're trying to get this level of detail on the painting and all of that. So six months is our standard time. We can cut that down by weeks, but not a lot. There are always, always cars that we wish we put in, but that's what's great about having continuous downloadable content, we're able to add cars at our pace, because we don't want to rush the pace, we want the cars to be accurate, we want the physics on the cars to be real, we want the sound on the cars to be accurate. We're really that anal.
Is there one that's really frustrated you that springs to mind?
We're not actually at the time yet where it would be frustrating. There's not been a big announcement that's not something we already have in flight, as far as I'm concerned. I would say probably at the end of June, or July we're going to get something, I don't know what it would be, that I'm going to read in a magazine, and I'm going to be looking at the clock and going, "Tick tock!" We're not going to get that in, in six months.
So, as an example. Would you be able to get the Aston CC100 in now, or has that ship sailed?
The nice thing is that we've actually known about the CC100 for quite a while.
But your job is essentially the best car shopping in the world. We'll have that one, and that one, and...
We've got a big process for actually coming up with the cars. It's interesting. Over the last 10 years we've seen a huge change in the way that manufacturers approve and approach new media, which is the area that video games falls into. It was "new media" because they're old companies. What they're starting to learn is that "new media" is just "media". And that's how they're going to reach the next generation of car enthusiasts. If they think that we're on the fringe and that video games is another way to reach their customer? No. We're the major way that they're going to reach the next generation of customer.
We had posters on our walls. Now kids can actually drive these cars...
They drive them in games. They have pictures of them digitally on their phone and on their tablets, it's not the same world. And car manufacturers know this, they obviously have very big marketing wings, and so they come to use and say: "Hey, there's this new car, we're really excited about it!" And we're able to say, "We're excited about it too," and the nice thing is that we're getting heads up about it ahead of time, because they now know our timelines.
So to go back to Aston, you said they'd spoken to you about the CC100...
Yeah, they'd spoken to us about the CC100 fairly early, it's a very cool car. We hear about a lot of these cars. Some cars we put in the DLC, kind of save them for later, some cars we put in the game, and a lot of times we're also looking for a commitment from the actual manufacturer, that they're really going to make a car.
Forza 4 had quite a lot of Jeremy Clarkson. We understand that Forza 5 is going to feature all three chaps...?
They are! We worked with Top Gear, and we worked with Charlie [Turner] on the magazine side, looking at the hundreds of cars that we have in our car list and putting them into groups that are more rivalry or spiritually based, and Top Gear would have an opinion on them. And they are narrating on these careers. They kind of hopefully giving you a feeling of what's exciting about these cars. So they're not just a random collection of cars, they're a collection of cars that feels like there's a heritage there. A history. If these cars were people, they would hate each other - having that level of passion.
Which makes sense, because when you're talking about Top Gear, it's essentially three people who hate each other...
That too! The great thing actually was having all three guys write, and come up with their take on each one of these different things. We actually had great material to choose from where sometimes they had very strong opinions about this group of cars, and fond memories or angry thoughts and what have you. And sometimes it was just like yeah, here's a history lesson. And having all three of them allowed us to pick and choose really funny, real Top Gear moments.
So how is that presented in the game? Because at the moment there are simple sets of menus to delve into, in the single player game. How have you bolted three old men onto this?
We're still in the pre-beta format of the game, so a lot of what people have seen so far is going to be swapped out and changed. We're experimenting with these flows. What it comes down to is that we've streamlined the overall flow, where we curate the cars you buy and we curate the paint jobs you buy and you're looking at these mini careers, and then there's a flow of getting into your car and learning more about that group and having Top Gear present information and then going on this journey to all these different environments, having different types of races that you're getting into. It really amplifies the rivalry between the cars, it feels very bespoke. So that whole thing is kind of a flow, it's a story, right?
So are they narrating the single player game?
In most ways they're bookending, setting it up, because what we're trying to do is borrow against the emotion they're putting forward. At the highest level, it's a collection of cars. And racing games, even Forza in the past has been: "Hey, it's a race. With a collection of cars." And if you know cars, you know why those 6, 8, 10, 20 cars belong together. But if you don't know cars, that's where we thought Top Gear could add the most value, actually coming and saying, well any car enthusiast knows this, but what Top Gear does so well is actually translate car enthusiasts to... my wife. So I look at a group of cars and I'm like, hot hatch! Yeah. The original GTi, blah blah, it's there!
But for your wife, it's incredibly boring.
But they can come in and explain that this hot hatch was a revolution because it allowed kids on the coast to get into a lot of trouble tuning up their cars, and just tell those great stories. And then through the rest of the races we can borrow against that.
Right! In your demo, you told us that you can finish your car this time round in 24-carat gold, if the mood takes you. Whose idea was that? And is that the weirdest thing you can clothe your car in?
Oh yeah, much weirder! I don't know what we'll end up shipping, if I'm honest in that area. We can create materials. It's alchemy. You know, we can honestly create skin, we can create leather, we can create anything that's on a car, and pretty much anything else. So we could cover a car in leaves. Absolutely. And so we went through our first review, and we had every material we had built for the game and there are thousands of these materials: cobblestone, flags, canvas! And just started looking at it and going: "That's money! Or, that's cool!" And the first barometer we held up was, "Is this the sort of thing that 3M currently makes a wrap for?" And we were like, we should include all of those. Anything that they pretty much say yeah, you can go buy a chrome wrap, or you can go buy a carbon fibre wrap, a matte wrap, so those just got a pass immediately, because you can do this today. Then we started looking at more wild things, and honestly the jury's still out. We're a very passionate team, and we're still debating a lot of these. We saw some cool ones though, like raw fibre glass, that dull, milky fibre glass, with the little pieces of fibre that go through it. We had that, and put it on the outside of a car, and it looked... funny? We liked it. But, I don't know, something about it didn't look right from a distance so, I'm not saying if it's in or it's out, we're just currently looking at those right now.
What are the silliest options you've considered?
There were some that were absolutely out there. Like alcantara, covering a car in alcantara. It's not only that it's kind of weird, but it didn't actually look very good. It caught light very realistically, bit it kind of breaks your brain. It looks weird! It's not even like matte, because matte absorbs light, but not like alcantara, because alcantara has grains that go different directions, so... we've gone way too deep into that subject!
The last time we caught up with you, you were getting an BMW M3. Do you still have that, and how's it working out for you?
Look, the game we're working on the team of a few years ago could not have built. I couldn't have managed the project we're working on right now. It took maturity in our process, tools and our engine, all of the individuals involved had to be more mature. And as a result it's actually invigorated my career, I'm more excited to work in games than I ever have been. I'm 13 years now into this experience, but... I'm working real hard! I'll just say, I don't see my car very much, it kinda gets me home, and it gets me back to work, and that's kinda that.
Ah, that's a bit sad...
I know people want me to be like this playboy who owns a bunch of cars and I come to events like this, and I've been driving the MP4 up and down, and having a good time this week, but when I go back to work, the truth is, what they really want, is what I really do. I don't do a playboy lifestyle, I got to Calspan [tyre research facility] and I test tyres. And I bring that knowledge to bear for our customers. So I don't go racing on the track, I have raced, I'm not a bad racer, I'm okay, but that's not what people want me doing with my time, they want me working! And the great thing is, right now, I love working. I really enjoy the job.
Have you managed to have a go in the P1?
I haven't, no. I shared the stage with it, I daresay it upstaged me.
But have you sat in it?
I did.
How did that feel?
Well, at that point, it feels like a car. It's a nice car. But it's sitting in a car. I think also, the MP4-12C is a wonderful car to sit in, the 458 is a wonderful car to sit in and the P1 feels like a wonderful hypercar to sit in. It's not so bejewelled and bedazzled as the Huayra.
Well, the philosophies are so different, right?
That's why I liked bringing both of them here in the game, because people kind of put them in the same group, because they're hypercars, but they're nothing alike, they're ridiculous. But they're nothing alike. The P1's understated. It's nice. The stitching's beautiful, but it's hard to separate just sitting in it from an MP4. Now, I've not heard it fired up and driven, and that's when I think that car will separate itself even from the glorious MP4-12C.

Workington clothes store closes with loss of 13 jobs
Last updated at 08:10, Thursday, 23 February 2012
Workington's Peacocks store closed down suddenly last night.
The clothes shop, on Murray Road, shut its doors with the loss of 13 jobs.
Kaisa Kamppuri, 20, of Mirehouse, Whitehaven, was the last shopper in the store.
"I didn't realise the shop was closing down. I went in to buy some leggings and the staff started to lock the doors," she said.
"I think it's a shame that another shop is shutting down in the town."
A spokesman for KPMG, joint administrators of Peacocks, confirmed that Edinburgh Woollen Mill, had acquired 388 stores and concessions, as well as the business headquarters and logistic functions in Wales.
The Workington store was one of the remaining 224 stores that were not included in the sale.
Chris Laverty, joint administrator and restructuring partner at KPMG, said: "While it is unfortunate that redundancies have been necessary, we are pleased that we have been able to preserve the majority of the business and jobs.
"Like many other retailers, Peacocks suffered from a decline in consumer spending due to the tough economic conditions and this, combined with a surplus of stores and unsustainable capital structure led to the business becoming financially unviable."
The closure comes only two weeks after fashion chain Bonmarche, on Ivison Lane, announced its closure after 17 years of trading in the town.

Have your say
The loss of jobs in the area has a knock on effect.Even people with "secure" shop jobs are being made to work contracted hours and the extra hours are not being covered.Workington need to attract better high street stores.The young ones want primark and that inbetween age of men just want somewhere to shop.There are non geared up for the 35-50 age group.
I wonder if it would be large enough for a H&M.
