I had a classical education, raised on organic veggies and E.B. White. I recently came across a list of 100 classic book you should before you die–I had read 66 of them before I was 17. Because we didn't have a TV when I was young, classics were my Muppets, Saturday Morning Cartoons, and Saved by the Bell. They have a special place in my heart. Which is why this line (heard quite often around the lit blogosphere) grinds my gills:
"You can't write books like they did back then, no one would publish it."
To which I reply:
I mean, are the classics only good because they are old? Is it true that publishers these days wouldn't take a second glance at A Little Princess, Little House on the Prairie, Little Women [okay, why do they all have little in them?], White Fang, Ivanhoe, The Black Arrow, A Tale of Two Cities, Wuthering Heights, The Great Gatsby, Huckleberry Finn, The Time Machine, etc.?
To which I respectfully and humbly say: THAT IS MORONIC.
A Little Princess isn't a classic because it's old. It's a classic because it has characters and themes that people relate to today just as much as they did when it was first published. It's still ingested and digested and given to nieces for their 9th birthdays.
One of my good friends, fresh off drugs and now addicted to reading–is getting a buzz from all the classic horror novels–Dracula, Frankenstein, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Hound of the Baskervilles–and you can't say the vocabulary is too lofty for modern day readers because she only has a 9th grade education. Why does she buy them? Why does she like them? Because they're darn fine stories!
I just talked to an 8th grader who loves to read, and guess what she'd recently picked up and couldn't put down? Wuthering Heights. It seems Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff acting like selfish asses is just as fun to read today as it was a hundred years ago. And (more importantly), readers will still buy it even with all of the competition it has on the library shelves.
Classics have plenty of things that you could criticize. Dumas was paid for the word and he . . . wanted to make a lot of money when he wrote a book. Les Miserables has so many characters it's hard to get through. Upton Sinclair can get preachy and Jane Austen can be shallow. Jack London can get lost in the woods, and Mark Twain can get too goofy. But good heavens, their characters! Just saying their names illicits some kind of connection or emotion:
Anne Shirley!
Tom Sawyer!
Holden Caulfield!
Jay Gatsby!
Darth Vader! (wait, how'd he get in here?)
Mr. Darcy!
Don Quixote!
Simon Legree!
Anna Karenina!
Oliver Twist!
Athos! Porthos! Aramis!
Meg! Jo! Beth! Amy!
Dorian Gray!
Atticus Finch!
I could go on and on and on . . .
Those characters give modern day writers a challenge–it's hard to top them. In fact, it might be just compensation syndrome when writers start bashing the classics.
Perhaps the next writer I hear say that the classics couldn't be published in today's market, I'll ask which classic they are specifically talking about …
is it Moby Dick … who has such lines as:
truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself. If you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more.
Or perhaps no publisher would take Charles Dickens anymore, with such words as:
"In came Mrs. Fezziwig, one vast substantial smile."
"Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he's well dressed. There ain't much credit in that."
"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known."
No, it is Oscar Wilde who cannot make it in this modern publishing arena, with such quotes as:
Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
Or the father of fantasy, who is oft charged for adding too many mundane storyworld facts, perhaps he wouldn't be accepted with such lines as:
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
"Whatev, fools . . . I'm a literary ROCKSTAR. Sold more books than anyone else in the world."
What I'm NOT saying is "gone are the good ole' days," and "they don't' write 'em like they used to," because I've read just as many nowadays amazing books as I have old time classics.
But no more classic bashing. At least not on my lawn!
What do you think of the classics?
What can be said against them? Which are your favorites?

Scattante CFX SRAM Force 22 Cyclocross Bike - 2014
As featured on the Performance Bike Blog! Click here to Read the Post.We love cyclocross. We love designing bikes that we want to ride. Putting these two pastimes together into the same project yielded incredible results with the 2013 Scattante CFX Black Cyclocross bike. While we've received tremendously positive feedback, we're not satisfied with status quo. For 2014, we offer both a Force and a Red model, so choose wisely. The 2014 Scattante CFX Black Force 22 Cyclocross bike features a SRAM Force 22 11-speed drivetrain, Stan's ZTR Alpha 340 wheels, and FSA and Prologo components are just a few of the CFX's highlights. What really sets it apart from the others is how all of these independent pieces come together on the race course to deliver you through every tight corner with immense power and control.
For years one of the largest complaints about cyclocross bikes, especially at the pro and elite level, has been braking performance. Traditional mechanical rim brakes work fine if the weather is perfect and you're riding the perfect pad/rim combo. But throw in rain, wet roads, muddy and dusty conditions, or a pair of carbon clinchers on a screaming descent and your braking power can be reduced to virtually zero. Fortunately, the cycling industry and race governing bodies like the UCI have made them legal to use in competition. The Scattante CFX, now in its second year of production, was enormously successful in a year where every brand was pining for your cyclocross disc brake bike attention. The 2014 version builds upon the initial vision of the CFX as a versatile race bike by further refining the component package for competition.
Our Scattante Carbon Disc Technology, or ScDT. Carbon fiber as a material for product development has long been utilized in the aerospace industry. The material is highly flexible and lightweight, yet is has high tensile strength for incredible durability. Its high temperature tolerance and low thermal expansion make it a valuable material for high stress, high performance bike frames. ScDT leverages these virtues by allowing for the frame to be reinforced where it matters most, without adding undue weight. The fabrication requires precision tooling to maximize performance, fit and overall ride quality.
The ScDT frame features a tapered 1 1/8" to 1 1/2" head tube, for maximum stiffness, minimal fork chatter and improved handling during sudden accelerations or out of the saddle efforts. A 74 degree seat tube angle places your body mass over the top of the bottom bracket for a more aggressive riding position (geometry changes slightly as the overall frame size changes from 52cm to 60cm, but the same result is achieved). Next, the down tube is tapered into the bottom bracket where it meets tall, rectangular section chain stays. This stiffens up the BB area to minimize flex due to specific efforts during cyclocross, such as accelerating in and out of tight corners. Additionally, the ScDT chain stays are shaped to better resist deflection from pedaling forces. The result is a radically improved torsional stiffness for better pedaling efficiency at a lighter weight. The stiffness of the frame and the efficiency of the power transmission are superb. All of the CFX's cables are top tube routed and a K-Edge chain catcher keeps the chain where it's supposed to be; on the chain ring (quite often, chains are dropped from the constant jostling from the race course). Finally, the frame is matched with a tapered carbon fiber fork. The fork features a massive amount of mud clearance.
The CFX SRAM Force 22 drivetrain. 2014 has gone 11-speed crazy. Both Shimano and Campagnolo have effectively moved into the 11-speed category with great offerings. Now, so has SRAM. The SRAM Force 22 levers have benefitted much from the trickledown effect from Red, and they've absorbed many of the technologies and innovations that SRAM made with 2012 Red. To start with, they've gained some new ergonomic features. ErgoFit textured hood covers have a new, gripper feel with a reduced diameter and a smoother transition to the bars. The forward bump is also larger, addressing issues in previous iterations of SRAM levers, where many riders felt their hands would sometimes slip off the bars when the roads got rough. The blade has been made larger, and now features independent reach adjust. This lets you put the levers where you want them, and makes it easier to reach for the levers from any hand position--even in the drops. This lets you create a fully customized fit and feel that improves your ride comfort and makes allows the levers to fit a huge range of hand sizes. The Force 22 cranks with cross-specific 46/36 rings match a uni-directional carbon fiber crank arm with a CNC-machined alloy spider. The result makes better use of the best properties of both carbon fiber and alloy to keep weight low and optimize stiffness. The spider also borrows the hidden bolt pattern design from the Red Exogram 22 cranks to further reduce weight and increase stiffness. This new design gives the crank an understated, elegant look that perfectly mates beauty and function.
CFX details.The CFX Force 22 cyclocross bike componentry has been furthered refined for race conditions. It features a lightweight set of Stan's NoTubes ZTR Alpha wheels. At just 385 grams per rim, the Alpha 340 is many things to many different people - a lightweight climber, a super-fast Criterium racer, or a long distance training wheel. Make no mistake though; they are designed to handle some abuse as well, evidenced by being ridden to a Masters Cyclocross World Championship just months after being introduced. They are tubeless compatible; simply mount your preferred tubeless tire and apply a compatible rim strip. An FSA Energy kit adds versatility and dependability. Both of these attributes are key to delivering you to the finish line. Finally, a Prologo Nago Evo saddle features a semi-round shape and plenty of length to move fore and aft for the best body placement.
- ScDT carbon tech delivers precision and handling required for cyclocross competition
- Avid BB7 Disc brakes increase stopping power, especially in adverse weather conditions
- SRAM Force 22 drivetrain has 11-speeds and a cross specific 46/36 crank configuration
- Stan's ZTR Alpha 340 wheels are tubeless compatible to run lower pressure for increased traction in muck and mud
- FSA Energy components bring serious durability and versatility to the cross course

My son wanted a Tom & Jerry theme for his birthday but the products are not sold in many places. Fortunately found everything on this website. Was a little worried the table covers would be too bright, seeing as I had to cover six tables. But they looked good, made the whole room look happy and festive.

there are plenty of fights that ranged have a much easier time on than melee. in regards to twilight ascendant council, on the beta pretty much all of our melee would be dead 10-15s in to p3 when we tried hardmode. as a raid leader I would do exactly what paragon chose to do in that situation.
off the top of my head, other "anti-melee" fights include:
halfus, especially hardmode. on HM you have to stack drakes up to cleave them down, meaning you get like 29 giant wings flapping everywhere obstructing your view and making it extremely hard to dodge the fireballs, If you take a fireball right before the flame breathe you will probably die.
Omnotron, not really that bad but if your melee aren't paying attention they can get gibbed very easily by spawning toxitron adds.
Magmaw, melee can't viably help with killing parasites (or constricts on hardmode) bringing just enough melee so you can chain the boss down is most efficient
Atramedes, melee have to react much faster to the sound balls that spawn under the boss than the ranged do, melee can't DPS the boss during the air phases.
Valiona, guaranteed to splash the shadow bolts, requiring extra healer mana to be used.
Cho'gal, after a few adherents melee are more or less guaranteed to be fixated by at least 1 blood of the old god, meaning that they can't help kill the bloods. also if your raids DPS blows they get raped by the fester blood, ranged don't have to worry about it unless they are being dumb. ranged in general have to move much less on this fight meaning they can be much more efficient with their DPS.
conclave of winds: melee have to run away from the adds when they start doing their purple detonation thing, ranged can keep DPSing.
Nefarian, melee DPS in p3 can be limited by fire placements, also in p2 you can't help DPS nefarian.

How do we measure?
Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants of the grass family. Some of its members are giant bamboo, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world: up to three to four feet a day. This accelerated growth rate allows bamboo to be harvested in three to five years, far more often than the 10 to 20 year harvest cycle of most softwoods. Unlike the environmental damage caused by the deforestation of trees, proper harvesting of bamboo leaves the root system intact, creating little or no topsoil disruption. This renewable, sustainable resource produces 35% more oxygen than its equivalent in trees while reducing carbon dioxide gas that is blamed for global warming. With the tensile strength of steel, it's the strongest growing woody plant in the world.

Friday, 22 March 2013 00:00School districts outside the state's five largest cities expect to spend an average of $155,355 to implement the state's new teacher and principal evaluation system this year, based on an analysis of 80 districts that submitted cost data to NYSSBA. Those one-year costs are nearly $55,000 more than the average four-year federal grant awarded to New York school districts to implement the program.
"School boards have long supported the goals of the new teacher and principal evaluation system as a way to improve student achievement," said NYSSBA Executive Director Timothy G. Kremer. "Our analysis, however, shows that the cost of this state initiative falls heavily on school districts. This seriously jeopardizes school districts' ability to meet other state and federal requirements and properly serve students."
In 2010, the federal government awarded New York State $697 million in Race to the Top grant funds. About half of the funding will go to local school districts over four years to implement the state's new Annual Professional Performance Review system (APPR), as well as other initiatives. Yet the average Race to the Top grant of $100,670 (excluding the "Big Five" city school districts) falls $54,685 short of school districts' average implementation costs, according to NYSSBA's analysis.
NYSSBA found that school districts incurred APPR implementation costs in several broad categories: Salaries (compensation for employees, substitutes, trainers or consultants associated with additional costs incurred), Training (fees related to professional development, certification and related items), Assessments (costs associated with developing State Learning Objectives (SLOs) or other measurements, purchasing third-party state-approved assessments as well as related costs) Software and Technology (purchase, installation, and implementation of technology) and miscellaneous expenses, such as printing.
Implementation costs for APPR in the 80 school districts analyzed by NYSSBA ranged from a low of $15,500 to a high of $626,583. "When we talk about unfunded— or, in this case, underfunded— mandates, this is exactly what we mean," said Kremer.
In conjunction with the cost analysis, NYSSBA is releasing a research brief that takes an in-depth look at five of the State Education Department's 10 model teacher evaluation plans. The brief examines how these model plans address the key components of the APPR law: state assessments to measure student growth, locally selected measures of student achievement, "other measures" of teacher effectiveness, and the appeals process.

Erm, can we just take a moment to say how fabulous Diane Kruger looked last night? At the premiere of her new film The Host in Hollywood, she turned up looking really rather gorgeous (yes, the girl crush is still in full swing). She wore a gorgeous black outfit with sheer detailing, dazzling diamonds earrings and hottie boyf Joshua Jackson on her arm, Ms. Kruger looked the epitome of elegance.
But what we're loving most of all is that hair. Slicked down and pulled into a deep side parting, it's both a modern and on-trend hair style and Diane has worked it to perfection. Plus, with those statement dazzling earrings, she's really made the most of the style by using the jewellery as a focal point of her look and allowing the hair to frame her face. Good work Ms. Kruger.
Hair maestro Adam Reed is the man who typically tends to the star's tresses. Diane has Adam on speed-dial when she is in town and it's not surprising considering what a genius he is when it comes to hair-dos. 'I got together with Diane Kruger about seven years ago when she was doing Troy,' Adam tells us. 'And in those days it was Diane Heidkrüger, from Germany, really pretty, really nice and a model. And not able to speak much English at all, just a few words. Much later I discovered she speaks seven languages fluently, so I now suspect she might have been pretending not to, due to shyness.'
After all these years Diane and Adam have a routine. 'I go travelling around with her and sometimes I am her date at an event if Joshua [Jackson, her partner] can't go.' Lucky you, Adam! 'Unusually for a star, Diane always does her own makeup, and I do her hair for the various events. I suppose she does her face herself because years of modelling taught her the techniques she needs and she now knows what suits her.'
'Diane is always happy for me to experiment on her hair. Once I even put buttons in her hair - she's open to trying new things, she does trust me and nothing we've done has gone wrong yet... touch wood!'
Diane's certainly been rocking some great hair looks of late. See our faves in the gallery above...

Minding the Gaps
Many countries lack statistics with breakdowns according to sex, economic status and other variables.
For instance, a 2007 expert consultation noted the need for disaggregated data to measure progress in addressing the needs of youth. Data is systematically disaggregated for children under five, but not by sex or for other age groups. Because young people represent a highly diverse group, data about them can have much greater utility when disaggregated by age subgroups (10-14, 15-19, and 20-24) and, when possible, by educational level, marital status, place of residence, and living arrangements.
Gaps exist in many areas such relative to the work of UNPFA, such as:
- Women's reproductive health, especially maternal mortality and morbidity
- Women's unpaid work at home and in the informal sectors
- Migration, particularly at the regional and international levels
- Gender issues relevant to planning and implementing emergency responses

Disaggregating data
"A gender perspective should be adopted in all processes of policy formulation and implementation and in the delivery of services, especially in sexual and reproductive health, including family planning. This includes the development and availability of sex-disaggregated data and appropriate indicators for monitoring progress at the national level."
—Para 46, Key Actions for the Further Implementation of the Programme of Action of the ICPD
Gender-sensitive indicators make gender biases more visible and help measure gender-related changes in society over time. They can therefore make an important contribution to policy. When data is disaggregated by sex, it can provide a more accurate picture of women's economic contributions to society, and make visible their unpaid labour in the family and in the informal sector. In many places, the very concept of work does not include the undocumented labour of women, such as small-scale farming, work in the informal sector, and water and firewood collection. Thus, significant economic contributions of women are unreported and, often, unrecognized.
To address this situation, UNFPA has contributed to the creation of Gender Info 2007, a global database of gender statistics and indicators on a wide range of policy areas, including: population, families, health, education, work, and political participation. It can be used by governments, international organizations, advocacy groups, researchers and others in need of statistics for planning, analysis, advocacy and awareness-raising. This easy-to-use tool sheds light on gender issues through customizable tables, graphs and maps.
Women count — but are not counted
Much of the work that women do is 'invisible' in national accounting and censuses, despite its obvious productive and social worth. One reason for this undercounting is that women's activities tend to be concentrated in small-scale agriculture, the informal sector and the home – areas for which data are still deficient. In addition, women's work is often unpaid – including that devoted to carrying water, collecting fuel, processing and cooking food and caring for children.
The low value attached to women's work requires a fundamental remedy: an accurate accounting of its contribution to development and overall social welfare. To do this requires much better gender-specific data, particularly for the informal and agricultural sectors.
The World's Women Trends and Statistics
Every five years, the United Nations Statistics Division issues a report that reviews the status of women through the lens of statistical data and analysis.
The World's Women is a statistical source-book that provides a comprehensive analysis of how women fare in different parts of the world. It highlights, through statistical analysis, women's situation as compared to men's worldwide in a broad range of fields – including families, health, education, work, human rights and politics. The World's Women 2005: Progress in Statistics, focuses on official statistics relevant to monitoring progress toward achievement of gender equality.

Sometimes doing your job simply means making sure your client just has all the basic creature comforts of home … especially if it's a 15,000-square-foot home.
That's what Los Angeles-based DSI Entertainment Systems was tasked with by this homeowner, whose family up-sized in a big way from its previous residence and wanted to ensure daily operations weren't overwhelming.
DSI's Josh Christian says the system design for this home "was driven by the homeowner's concern that the mundane tasks of turning on lights, controlling climate, operating an entertainment system, etc. would be much more difficult in their new 15,000-square-foot home, compared to their previous 3,000-square-foot home."
The installation includes a Crestron system with lighting, HVAC (climate), security, pool/spa, and audio/video. Four in-wall Crestron touchpanels in strategic locations and handheld Crestron remotes in rooms with TVs provide control. Programming allows the family to set automated features such as an entertainment scene that activates exterior path lights, exterior ambiance lights, common area interior lights, and sets the temperature throughout the house during a party. They can then select music from Pandora, Sirius XM, or their iPod to play throughout the house using in-wall or mobile control devices.
The tidy rack system illustrates DSI's attention to detail and organization on this project, an Electronic House Home of the Year Awards entry, that features nearly 50,000 feet of Liberty cabling and speaker wiring.
DSI designed a dedicated home theater in the basement, where the children have on-demand access to any movie, TV show or video game. The theater features a 7.2 James Loudspeaker and Velodyne surround-sound system, Digital Projection M-Vision projector and 10-foot-wide Stewart Filmscreen display.
Large LED flat panels are in the great room and living room with in-ceiling surround sound systems that are connected to the centrally located A/V distribution system. During the summer, the family entertains guests outside by the pool and loggia with a SunBriteTV display plus sound that can be heard across the yard from the Sonance landscape speakers.
"The end result provided both an extremely convenient way for the family to control the system from their laptop or iPad," says Christian. "No matter where they are inside the house, or outside the house, the family has complete control of the system."

Last week I wrote about a silly Twitter exchange between Xbox support and a prankster that pretended to have an issue with an Xbox when in fact he had a PS2. Someone suggested that I look at Xbox support's favstar, which is a service that tracks a Twitter user's 'favorites' with that account. Turns out, trolling Xbox support is very much a 'thing,' and not just on Twitter.
The video above by YouTube user EzzentialTechh (known more popularly as Ownage Pranks), for example, is a long
convomasation conversation where a caller keeps trying to get an Xbox support to say that Kinects don't work as well with darker skin colors. It seems that supports aren't allowed to hang up, so this conversation gets drawn out for 20 minutes—and the troll goes from trying to 'troubleshoot' his Kinect from a car, to trying to seduce the support, to then pulling out a bunch of different racist caricatures. Kind of wondering if it's fake, actually! If it is fake, it's still ridiculous.
On Twitter, meanwhile, here are a few more amusing exchanges between Xbox support and silly folk.

About Kwita Izina
8th KWITA IZINA 2011 CONCEPT NOTE
Kwita Izina 2011 - "Community development for sustained conservation."
In 2011, Kwita Izina is about consolidating gains made over the past seven years and ensuring continuity of growth in population of the gorillas and tourists as well as continued harmonious community–gorilla coexistence.
Notable achievement are 26% growth in the population of gorillas since the last census in 2003, steady growth of tourists with USD 200 million in revenues in 2010, and conversion of poachers into farmers. The safety and security of the park and its surrounding is also a notable national achievement without which little of this would have been achieved .
This year we seek to accrue the merits of conservation to the communities around our National Parks. We seek better livelihoods for our people achieved through the growth in tourism revenues. This would not be possible without the active protection of our mountain gorillas and conservation of their habitat. We have come a very long way but we have far to go. This year its "Community development for sustained conservation"
Kwita Izina Background
Kwita Izina (literally "Naming") is a Rwandan traditional ceremony held to welcome a child both into his/her family and into the community. Neighbors, family and friends are gathered in a festive ceremony by the parents bring out the child and reveal what name they have chosen for the child.
For the gorillas in Rwanda, we the Rwandans are their custodians responsible for their well being, their protection and the conservation of their habitat. So every year we invite neighbors and friends of this nation, conservationists and animal enthusiasts to join us in naming new born gorillas and engage the communities around them to ensure these national treasures continue to grow and thrive in their nature-designated habitat .
Kwita Izina Rationale
Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda are an integral part of the Virunga ecosystem therefore 7years ago an initiative was developed that would recognize publicly and appreciate not only their rarity but also their unique family oriented existence and their contribution to the communities that surround them and the Rwandan Economy. This initiative is Kwita Izina
Today, we can proudly proclaim it a great success. Kwita Izina among others has contributed towards growth in the population of mountain gorillas. A census that was conducted in the Virunga Massif between March and April, 2010 showed a 26.3% increase of the mountain gorillas over the last seven years. It has also has led to a steady growth of in tourism revenues which in 2010 were USD 200m.
Kwita Izina is also a time to recognize the people that make these successes possible – the community and 180 employees of the Virunga National Park (VNP) working as guides, gorilla groups' trackers, and anti-poaching teams deployed in 5 protection sectors of the park. In addition, an estimated 800 community members around VNP are involved in day to day VNP management activities.

Movement 6: Rondo: Allegro
Another feature of the Divertimento, giving Mozart an extra resource in filling out his expansive designs, is the important role allotted to the second violin, often given the task of introducing subsidiary ideas. In this opening movement the second subject and the closing passage of the exposition are both announced by the second violin. If Mozart himself played the difficult leader's part at the first performance, could it be that Leopold played second violin? Another remarkable thing about K334's first movement is its development section, during which the horns are silent. Beginning with a sudden modulation to a remote key (F major), the way back to the home key lies through a maze of rapidly shifting chromatic harmonies. Here, Mozart is certainly bewildering the 'less learned' amongst his listeners, whilst no doubt delighting the 'connoisseurs'.
The following Andante with variations also pushes at the boundaries of the divertimento form by being in a minor key. The tone is kept fairly light, through such ideas as the unison pizzicato presentation of the theme as accompaniment to the violin's brilliant final variation, and the glowing, serenade-like colours of the major-key variation, where the horns assume the main thematic burden. But there are also plenty of the dark shadows typical of Mozart's minor-key music – agitated syncopations, expressive chromatic harmonies, and impassioned, declamatory melodic lines. The first minuet takes us back to D major. In the early twentieth century this was one of Mozart's best-known pieces, the suave elegance of the slurred pairs of notes that make up its melody seeming just as persuasive an evocation of eighteenth-century aristocratic manners as the gentle syncopations of the famous Boccherini minuet. Mozart was to return to this mood and to use a very similar texture, with viola doubling the violin line an octave lower (but without the delightful effect of the horns), in the trio of the minuet in his D minor Quartet, K421.
The A major Adagio contrasts a detached, declamatory opening with the cantabile continuation on the violin. Soon, however, the two styles are combined, with the second violin leading an accompanying string trio. The whole movement impresses by its rich elaboration, the extravagant decoration of the melodic line supported by continually varied patterns in the lower instruments. The robust second minuet, with its memorable, strongly rhythmic theme and lively accompaniment, has two trios, both in a minor key. Even in the minuet itself there is a mysterious minor-mode episode, as though Mozart is recreating in miniature the contrast between D major and D minor of the Divertimento's first three movements. And in the B minor second trio the pattern is reversed, a soft horn call appearing to push the music back to D major, followed each time by a return to the minor key.
The final Rondo is very different from the one in K247, though its key-plan and sequence of events are quite similar. Instead of the short repeated sections of the earlier movement, repeats here are written out and varied. And instead of the sharply contrasting characters of each succeeding episode, the impression here is broader, with a spacious pastoral character. Along with the six-eight metre, this suggests a parallel with the finale of Mozart's last instrumental work, the Clarinet Concerto. Even if we see Mozart's final works as moving towards a new, more romantic style, it is fascinating to realize how many aspects of his later achievements are already present in the period of his early maturity.

This was a sparkling collection. From the lamé fabrics to the soaring soundtrack and the mirrored set it was pure, old-style Hollywood escapism. I could be way off the mark here but it seemed to me, from beginning to end it was an homage to classic Americana. For S/S '09, Marc Jacobs tipped his hat to all the down home icons. There was the Gerschwin music, Rhapsody in Blue, sounding like the orchestration of a New York street. The mirrored runway was like a classic Busby Berkeley set. There were dames right out of Dashiell Hammett in sharp double-breasted suits and ¾-length trousers. There were Tennessee Williams heroines in lamé dresses. There was even Aunty Em (from The Wizard of Oz) in tartan shirt, apron-wrap dress and crisp straw boater. And the finale featured sinuous jersey dresses that were pure 1970s Studio 54. As America's current woman of the moment seems to be moose-burger eating, 'pitball wearing lipstick' Sarah Palin, it was great to be reminded of a past that was full of vibrant and glamorous gals. Oh and by the way, colourful quilted bags with chain handles and lurex shoes with skyscraper teardrop heels were pretty fabulous too.
