Matthew Miller
Windows 8 slate
Josh Gingold
Best Argument: Windows 8 slate
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
Nothing beats a Windows computer
Matthew Miller: There is no question that the iPad is THE tablet for the consumer, I have a new LTE iPad on pre-order. I've taken my iPad 2 on the road for short business trips and written articles on how you can get work done on the go, through apps and remote access. However, you almost always have to make some kind of trade-off (connectivity required, loss of formatting, reduced functionality, limited multi-tasking, etc.) to use the iPad for "real work" and as a professional engineer there isn't anything that can beat a Windows computer.
Consumer hearts and minds
Josh Gingold: Apple has already won what might be the most important part of this debate: the battle for the hearts and minds of consumers.
Why is this important? Because the rising popularity of the iPad (15 million units sold in the last quarter alone) coincides with the equally important trend toward BYOD, or bring your own device. As a result, enterprise IT and business decision-makers are already forced to recognize and support Apple products in what has traditionally been a PC stronghold. Arguably, the iPad -- and perhaps the iPhone before it -- have given Apple the foothold it needed to penetrate the enterprise market.
So which is better for the enterprise? Well, we're not quite in the so-called "post PC era" just yet and this particular category of devices isn't likely to totally replace the laptop or desktop any time soon, at least not for many of the common business applications. As such, this is really more a matter of which platform is most likely to become a category mainstay for enterprise portfolios. To me, it's no longer just a matter of form factor and features but rather what people want to use and right now that appears to be the iPad.

Like a fart, but backwards. Instead of expelling gas out of the anus, you would suck air into the ass. (verb)
I was at church the other day and I cut a raging, mega-huge egg fart during communion. But luckily I was able to tarf afterwards to save everyone on my "pew" from smelling it.

Deere & Co. posted a 27 percent decline in third-quarter profit Wednesday as the slumping global economy continued to depress sales of its tractors, bulldozers and other products. But the results easily beat Wall Street expectations. The world's largest maker of farm equipment said it expected the biggest single-year sales drop in at least 50 years in 2009, but reiterated an annual profit forecast of $1.

DETROIT (AP) — Researchers at Michigan State University are working to turn the rutabaga into an oil-producing powerhouse that could make the turnip-like vegetable a better source of biofuel than other food crops. The idea is that the rutabaga, which stores oil in its seeds like some other biofuel crops, could be genetically modified to churn out more oil and store it throughout the plant.

Morning all! Old photographer, new to WDC...!
I have recently purchased a Nikon D3100 having upgraded my old Canon G10 (which in turn was an upgrade from my very old 35mm EOS5). The camera comes with a 'kit' 18-55VR lens, and I am looking to expand on range of lenses a little.
I tend to take landscape, building, and 'people' shots, together with the occasional live band (small venues). That said I am also getting into macro photography too. To top it all off a friend of mine (with no money) has asked me to take a few shots for his forthcoming wedding in the summer so something that can take a decent portrait shot would be nice.
I am considering purchasing either a Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 Macro which should cover most bases; or the cheaper Sigma 70-300mm f4 macro together with either a Nikon 50mm f1.4 or a Sigma 105mm f2.8 maybe.
I know I want to have my cake and eat it, but I've only got about £600 to spend on a lens/lenses
without specialising in any one area.
Comments, suggestions, or any experience with any of the above lenses would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance,

I am new to the world of DSLRs but I am looking to dip my toe in the water. I am going to go on a round the world trip in a couple of months and I am toying with the idea of buying a decent camera to take with me. I have a Canon Ixus 65 which, although it's cheap, is actually very good for pocket camera shots but I am concerned that if that's all I take I will be disappointed with the results when I get back.
I have four main questions:
1) Will I notice a significant difference in quality between say a Nikon D3000 and my Canon Ixus? i.e. is it worth taking an SLR over a compact? is the extra kit worth it or will be frustrating as a new user?
2) If I get an SLR which one would provide a good compromise between quality, size, ease of use and budget (bearing in mind my budget is in the lower end of the scale)? I've seen the Nikon D3000 did well in your recent review but as a compete novice is the guide mode any good or is an amount of pre-knowledge needed to use it?
3) What would you recommend as being in the "essential kit bag" for taking an SLR on a long trip i.e. would it be sensible to get spare batteries, uv filters etc?
4) I'm assuming that a lot of my pictures on the trip will be landscapes and scenery, would it be worth buying a wide angle zoom lens (10-20mm) as well as having the kit lens or would the kit lens (18-55mm) give enough depth of field? (I've always been disappointed with the depth of field on a compact camera and I want to get that feeling of being in the picture).
I know that a lot of the my questions will come down to what I plan to do with camera in the future but with so much information on the internet and as there are so many technical terms used in all the reviews I am all at sea!
Thanks very much for your help and any comments welcome.

Shinji Kagawa is set to complete a move to United once he passes a medical and obtains a work permit.
Eagle-eyed fans may have noticed that the Japan international's surname is made up of 50 percent of the same letter.
So this week's poser was to identify the 11 players we think have been selected for United's first-team by Sir Alex Ferguson who fit the criteria of having at least half of their surname made up of the same letter. We included players known by a single name and the player must have had time on the pitch during the manager's reign.
Look out for another question next Thursday - the answers are in the black box.

There are conflicting reports about Richie Steamboat floating around right now. Some are stating that he is still under contract to WWE. However, the second generation star posted a message on Twitter back in December, where he stated that he was no longer with the company. He also stated that he plans on returning some day.
February 15, 2014
Despite being released by the company after suffering a severe back injury, Richie Steamboat still has plans on recovering and returning to WWE sometimes in the future. He will still continue to train, and it appears that the doors are open for him to come back.
February 6, 2014
Now that the word is out about Richie Steamboat being quietly released by WWE, more details have surfaced. It also appears that a severe back injury might force the second generation wrestler to completely retire from in ring action.
December 20, 2013
Frequently injured developmental wrestler Richie Steamboat has been quietly released by WWE. The company made it a point not to bring too much attention to this move because he is the son of beloved superstar Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.

Have fun at the polls today! I went down to my voting site and noticed the line wrapped around the block. I'll try again later. Maybe. If nothing else, the eavesdropping will be worth it!
|half the line at my voting site. i'll be back later?
Hahahhaha. Shoot! That's the worst (and the best). I love the photo though.ReplyDelete
WOW! What a line but I'm so thrilled to see us taking our responsibility seriously.ReplyDelete
That's awesome! I'm not super into politics, but there is something exciting about Election Day.ReplyDelete
are you mormon?ReplyDelete
Really? I don't know of anyone who seriously thinks Mormons still do that... although, that really did happen, so it always amuses me when Mormons get offended at even the mention of it. I mean, Brigham Young and Joseph Smith made some interesting choices to say the least. That all said, Mormons are some good people today!ReplyDelete
I live in Salt Lake City, so everyone assumes I'm Mormon even though I'm not (when I told people I knew I was moving here even they asked me!It's surprising how many people don't know the difference between LDS and FLDS. The church here has had to keep stressing the difference because of the Warren Jeffs case.Delete
Maybe??? Sharon, you must vote. Unless you're voting for Romney. Then you can stay home! ;)ReplyDelete
haha love this comment. i voted for obama.Delete
YAAAAY! Your readers are proud!Delete
Religion AND politics on a public blog? You are a brave women!!ReplyDelete
haha i couldn't resist.Delete
Surprised to find out you are mormon, i truly had no idea. Most " Mormon Mommy Bloggers" have the ' we believe' link on their profiles. Intrigued and pleased to see you voted for Obama :)ReplyDelete
Maybe it's just the ones who put the 'we believe' link on their profile that you know are "Mormon Mommy Bloggers" :)ReplyDelete
This picture looks... totally different than my voting place, ha. I got there with a four-year-old and a baby in a stroller expecting to be in and out within minutes (as it had been four years ago), but it was total chaos (fights included and all). It was such a pain, but finally managed to vote. My four-year-old was excited about it, though. He wanted to help.ReplyDelete
i'm not a mormon, but my best friend is, and she's getting married in december. i'm so happy for her. and my other friends worried about that her future husband has other wives. i mean, people come on! we live in hungary, it's not a common religion here, but please. it's on wikipedia! information is power.ReplyDelete
Obama for 4 more years!!!ReplyDelete
i don't know. as an australian, i find the notion that religion should be part of politics really scary. and i don't know about romney and being family friendly. i suppose to the extent that his views on rape were family friendly he was... (sorry, even if you were being tongue in cheek i couldn't resist!)ReplyDelete
I didn't even know you were mormon! I think people are way too concerned with religion as a part of politics in our country. We have so much diversity in our nation, we should just accept that and not judge people by their religion but by who can make the best decisions for us. People of the same religion are all so different anyway, it's not like a cookie cutter set of beliefs, which is great! Glad you were able to vote, even with the long lines!ReplyDelete
As A French, i aslo can hardly undersatnd wyhy religion is such important in politics in the United States...and also, do you think it would be possible to have a president who is a non-believer?ReplyDelete
I think that one of the reasons religion is considered important in politics in the United States because many people equate religion with morality. I also think that if more people recognized that it is possible to be a moral person without identifying with a particular religious group (as well as the opposite - that it is possible to have loose morals while identifying with a religious group), religion would cease to be so important in political discourse. (This is NOT to say that all religious people think anyone void of religion is an amoral heathen!)Delete
yes! shout it from the roof tops! love it: "I also think that if more people recognized that it is possible to be a moral person without identifying with a particular religious group (as well as the opposite - that it is possible to have loose morals while identifying with a religious group) religion would cease to be so important in political discourse. "Delete
Haha, I am actually surprised people did not realize you are Mormon. I am Mormon and have been reading your blog for a while, and definitely noticed the Mormon hints. You once had a post where your husband was writing a talk for church. And similar posts about your kids writing talks for church. I guess this wouldn't be obvious to someone who was not Mormon. :) I think that people don't realize how many progressive mormons are around. Loved the post!ReplyDelete
thanks! and yeah--progressive is an understatement. ;)Delete
you voted for Obama?! I'm so happy! You are such a 'cool mormon' :DReplyDelete
thanks! and yeah--cool is an understatement ;) haDelete
I imagine you probably don't want to get into this on your blog, but I would be really curious to learn more about what it's like to be both rather progressive and a Mormon. It seems like that could be really challenging to negotiate, especially as a woman.ReplyDelete
last may, i listened to a podcast called Middle Way Mormonism and Women. It was so refreshing to here woman talk about their frustrations with patriarchy not only in the church, but in the world. Got me reevaluating my faith and where I stand within Mormonism. I'm still a work in progress. :) Listen to the podcast if your interested in hearing woman, who like me, love the church but know the institution is flawed and has things i flat out don't agree with :)Delete
Half an hour into it now and it's super interesting, thanks for sharing!Delete
OHHH YOU ARE A NAIVE MORMON WIFE! Actually read about Romney - he does nothing for Women. And same with the Mormon faith. Mormons are still very connected to the polygamy, which you should know.ReplyDelete
i agree. it's sad that a lot of men (especially in business and religion) do nothing for women. let's change that! one way is by empowering women on their business endeavors instead of criticizing them.
I may be wrong, not being a mormon myself, but isn't one of the misconceptions about Mormons and polygamy in part due to the current theology--that in heaven, families are polygamous? (for example, a widowed man can be remarried in the temple, and expect to be joined to both wives (or more if he was widowed multiple times) in the heavenly kingdom? A woman who is widowed, however, cannot be remarried in the temple because she cannot practice polyandry in heaven. So theologically, polygamy still holds a very substantial place in Mormon doctrine. Thoughts? I'm genuinely curious! How do progressive Mormons reconcile beliefs about polygamy here and hereafter?
yeah, good questions. i've heard of this idea. my thoughts: anytime a religion/person starts claiming they know exactly whats going to happen in the afterlife, i start to become really skeptical. instead, i like to focus my attention on the basic mormon values of love and family.
i'm curious to see how it all works out in the end. :)

New Yorkers are debating the many serious issues related to the extraction of natural gas from shale deposits that underlie parts of upstate New York. Recent news stories indicate that the state Department of Environmental Conservation may soon begin to permit high-volume hydraulic fracturing in our state on a limited basis.
We need a program that will ensure New Yorkers are protected from harm and cleanup costs are covered if contamination from drilling happens. We simply cannot afford to cross our fingers and hope accidents won't occur.
In June, a drilling accident in Union Township, PA, caused natural gas to infiltrate a drinking water well and a nearby stream. In addition to the environmental damage, a family had to be evacuated from their home.
Resolution of damage claims associated with such accidents can be slow and uncertain. A recent review of litigation in state and federal courts by an independent law journal found that the majority of cases filed against companies alleging natural gas production contamination since 2009 have not yet been resolved.
I have advanced legislation that would create a fund to provide the necessary resources to immediately respond to any accidents and provide a prompt remedy to individuals damaged by related contamination. The natural gas damage recovery fund program is a sensible proposal that the legislature should act on as soon as possible.
New York taxpayers should not have to bear the burden from contamination that damages our air, water and property. The state Superfund program, created in the wake of the Love Canal disaster, has been a successful example of the polluter-pays principle, and was the basis for the federal Superfund program.
My proposal is modeled after the successful New York State Environmental Protection and Spill Compensation Fund, which draws on the expertise and collaborative efforts of the Department of Environmental Conservation, the office of the attorney general and the office of the state comptroller to address oil spills.
If contamination does occur, the party that causes the contamination should be held responsible for the full costs of cleanup.
If parties are unable or unwilling to act quickly on a cleanup, the fund is created to allow the state to take over the cleanup.
Funding for the program would come from a surcharge on permit fees on gas production facilities, costs and penalties paid by responsible parties, with additional remediation cost protection for taxpayers provided by surety bonds to be posted by gas well developers.
Preventing accidents and contamination should always be our first priority. But it is impossible to eliminate all risk. If an accident should occur, the state needs to be ready with a rapid response and a reliable mechanism to hold polluters accountable.
This is true for both the gas drilling already under way in the state today, as well as any future high volume hydrofracturing activity.
It's really quite simple: New Yorkers should not have to bear the economic and health burden of air, water and property contaminated by gas drilling. We should make sure they will not. When the Legislature returns to Albany, this important legislation should be high on the agenda.

I teach a gentle yoga class to a wide range of people in sports centers, community centers, hospitals, and senior centers. I work with all kinds of common medical issues such as low back, knee, arthritis, etc. In the past year I have put together a class for men, which has helped them play sports and be aware of their limitations, resulting in fewer injuries. I can also work with more serious medical issues privately. The yoga class explores and promotes your own knowledge of your body and facilitates a personal understanding of your body.

Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 postures "asanas" performed in a heated room, which allows the body to become more warm, pliable and relaxed. This provides for deeper stretching, the release of neuromuscular tensions in the body, and detoxification of your entire system. Each posture is done in a specific sequence and is sequentially designed to scientifically warm and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons in the order in which they should be stretched. The Bikram method will also stimulate the organs, glands, and nerves, moving fresh oxygenated blood to 100 percent of your body, restoring all body systems to a healthy working order.

- Mastectomy
(Breast Surgery; Surgery for Breast Cancer; Surgery to Remove a Breast)
- Lumpectomy—The tumor and a small margin of normal breast tissue around it is removed.
- Partial mastectomy—Removal of part of the breast that has cancer and some normal tissue around it. This may include removal of lymph nodes or the lining of the chest muscle.
- Simple mastectomy—The entire breast is removed, including the nipple and areola.
- Skin-sparing mastectomy—The skin that covers the breast is left intact except for the nipple and areola. This surgery is similar to a simple mastectomy. It is done when immediate breast reconstruction is planned. The procedure has limitations and may not be an option for all women.
- Modified radical mastectomy—The entire breast, some lymph nodes in the armpit, and any affected chest muscle is removed.
- Radical mastectomy—The entire breast, lymph nodes, and muscles of the chest wall are removed (rarely done).
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
- To treat breast cancer—removing cancer cells and any affected tissue
- To prevent breast cancer—women with a very high risk of developing breast cancer may have one or both breasts removed

- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners
- Anti-platelet drugs
- Arrange for a ride home. Ask someone to help you at home.
- Eat a light meal the night before the surgery. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.

Economica: Women and the Global Economy provided excellent topics about current women's rights and issues. The topic that caught my full attention was "Marriage and Money"; more specifically a section called "Putting a Price on Women." The fact that dowries in marriage are quite popular in many other cultures interested me. Marriage, it seems isn't all about the love, commitment, and friendship I was raised to believe. I now realize for most of the world it's a way of gaining economic security between two families. As the economic crisis worsens I feel the marriage contract will continue toward the financial aspect and away from love and commitment.
When the article stated a large dowry insured women against violence, I thought maybe we need some kind of system like that to possibly prevent violence here in America. But realistically violence would happen regardless. My opinion on whether the value of women increases or decreases during dowry transactions, is it decreases significantly. I feel this way because women just like men should have a choice to support themselves or let a man support her. I don't think it's fair that women are viewed in places such as South Asia and Africa as incapable of supporting themselves without a husband. But I understand that every culture is different and fair or not, marriage will always be an institution with laws and "price tags" varying around the world.

Steve Blinn equipment racks are designed to provide sturdy, reliable and appealing housing for your audio gear.
It's an amazing time to be a music fan, in terms of just the wealth of options for enjoying tunes in your home.
Think about it: there's still the good ol' CD player; streaming audio has put just about every song in human history at your fingertips; you can add a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to turn your computer into a rockin' audio source; there are "high-resolution" downloads available that offer better-than-CD quality sound; and the format that just refuses to die, vinyl, has revitalized to the point where great new turntables are being released as well as new vinyl records from today's popular artists.
So it's no wonder that consumer audio shows are popping up everywhere. These lean toward the higher end of things, but that only helps to show music lovers the unlimited possibilities of what's out there for getting the best audio experiences in their own homes.
At the New York Audio Show '13, taking place April 12-14 at the New York Palace Hotel in midtown Manhattan (click here for more information and click here for ticketing info), you'll be able to peruse all sorts of audio goodies such as DACs and turntables, through superb speaker systems.
You'll also be able to chat with the manufacturers who are showcasing their products in the rooms, as well as some specialty audio installers who are setting up shop and can talk to you about home listening rooms. Plus there is a full schedule of events, live music, demo sessions and educational seminars to deliver a really well-rounded audio experience over the weekend.
To give you a snapshot of the wide range of audio products that will be on hand during the show, here's a slideshow of exhibiting companies that have released some info on what they will be demoing and discussing in their rooms.

ELMWOOD PLACE, Ohio – If you feel the need for speed, better steer clear of the Cincinnati-area village of Elmwood Place.
Since installing traffic cameras, Elmwood Place has issued citations at a rapid pace. Police say there were 6,600 in the first month, or three times the number of village residents. And a reported $1.5 million in fines has been levied since two cameras began operating in September.
The blitz of $105 citations has roiled the economically struggling village for months. There have been petition drives, calls on social media to boycott the village, and a lawsuit that alleges constitutional violations.
The police chief said the automated system has already made the village safer because speeding has plummeted.
Arguments in the lawsuit are scheduled to resume Thursday in Hamilton County court.

More than three quarters of the consumers surveyed believe that alternative energy brought benefits, and a slight majority, 54 percent, would pay an additional 5 percent on their electric bills....
Dynamic Pricing and Low-Income Customers
Correcting misconceptions about load-management programs.
Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) is rolling out in northern and central California; and California's widely cited Statewide Pricing Pilot, which ran from 2003 through 2005.
The results from each pilot or program are presented below. Note that these programs don't share a uniform definition of low income.
• BGE Smart Energy Pricing (SEP) Pilot–Maryland : BGE conducted a Smart Energy Pricing (SEP) pilot program during the summer of 2008. 3 In 2008, the SEP pilot included 1,375 residential customers of which 1,021 customers were placed on dynamic pricing rates and 354 customers formed a control group that stayed on their current rates. BGE also tested the impacts of two different technologies, the Energy Orb, and a switch for cycling air conditioners, in conjunction with the dynamic-pricing options.
The pilot tested three dynamic-pricing structures: a dynamic peak-pricing (DPP) tariff, a low peak time rebate (PTRL), and a high peak time rebate (PTRH). The DPP rate consisted of a critical peak rate of $1.30 per kWh, peak rate of $0.14 per kWh, and an off-peak rate of $0.09 per kWh. There were 12 critical days called during the pilot period, and the critical hours were between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
With both the low and high PTR, customers remained on their existing rate of $0.15 per kWh. However, during critical peak hours from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the 12 critical days, customers received a rebate of $1.16 per kWh (low) or $1.75 per kWh (high) for reducing their consumption below their baseline amount. 4
For the BGE analysis, a customer with an income level less than $25,000 was defined to be a low-income customer, generally in line with the federal poverty threshold. This choice for the low-income threshold was based on the income question in the enrollment survey.
For the full sample of customers, the peak reductions varied across programs and enabling technologies. In the absence of enabling technologies, the peak reduction was 18 to 21 percent. With the Energy Orb, the peak reduction ranged from 23 to 27 percent. With both the Energy Orb and a switch on the central air conditioner, the peak reduction ranged from 28 to 33 percent. As expected, enabling technologies resulted in increased price response.
Within the subset of customers with known income status (1,007 of the 1,375), the paper defined two groups: low-income, which had a self-reported income of under $25,000; and high-income, with a self-reported income of over $75,000.
The results show that a customer's income status didn't have a measurable effect on price responsiveness. In other words, the price responsiveness of low-income customers wasn't statistically different from that of higher income customers.
• CL&P Plan-it Wise Energy Pilot–Connecticut : CL&P conducted its Plan-it Wise Energy Pilot in the summer of 2009. The pilot included 1,251 residential customers, of whom 1,114 customers were placed on dynamic pricing rates and 137 customers formed a control group that stayed on their current rate.
Plan-it Wise tested three different rate structures (see Figure 3) : time of use (TOU), peak time pricing (PTP), and

'Front Of Anonymity'
20 September 2009
'Front Of Anonymity'
Sunday 20th September 2009. Boston. Show 1.
Gillette Stadium is in Foxboro, which is ever such a long way from Boston and has the added attraction of being unreachable by public transport, (you can already imagine the tumbleweed blowing across the vast parking lots once the oil runs out). Consequently I took an early shuttle van in to beat the rush which gave me plenty of time to take care of a few chores.
This stadium has been completely rebuilt since the last time U2 was here. The new design is a little weird for a rock show as it is now reborn with acres of glass fronted corporate boxes down both sides of the field, with bleachered seats above and below. Tom and I decided to spend the show watching from different places in the building starting off way up high in the nosebleed seats. It was a lengthy hike from the mix position to the back row and when we got there we found that our seats were at approximately the same altitude as the mirror ball at the top of the stage 'pylon'.
It's an entirely different experience from up there and in terms of the spectacle in many ways it's a better vantage point than from lower down. We moved around the building a good deal during the show, which was really fun as well as being highly educational. We're going to be shooting this show some time soon, so it's crucial to understand how it looks from all angles and really the only way to do this properly is to get on yer boots and tramp around the stadium. I really enjoy being in amongst the audience anyway - especially looking back at a section of seats when I know something special is about to happen to see people's reactions. It's a real privilege to bring so much happiness to some many people at one time.
One curiosity of the new Foxboro stadium was that it appeared that once you were in the building, no ticket was required. When I'm out in the crowd I tend to tuck my tour pass inside my shirt to maintain my front of anonymity, so in effect I was moving about the place like any other punter. Tom and I made our way from the top tier, eventually ending up in the premium seats on Adam's side of the stage without ever being stopped. (Take note, residents of the Boston metropolitan area when going to any future shows at Foxoboro.)
Being such a long ride back to the Hotel Fabulous, I joined the 'runner' with the band. We had a police escort out of there, which is not unusual, but as a special treat the police had closed the freeway for our convenience. I kid you not, we sped through the night with a completely empty freeway ahead of us. I haven't seen a scene like this since we shot the video for 'Last night on Earth'. Once we had passed each on-ramp, the police opened it up allowing traffic on behind us, so it felt like we were at the head of a huge motorcade... most odd.
Back in Boston we had a bit of an aftershow party at Revolution Rock Bar, which was fun and a let us unwind a little. I spent much of the evening with some of the Snow Patrol guys who leave us tomorrow. We shall miss them, they've been absolutely delightful to have around.

So they closed the (only) access road for a rock band... how special you all are! No wonder I didn't get home in Fall River until 2 AM! Gillette stadium is hell... never again!

Mozart's chief sources of income were now his modest salary as court Kammermusicus and the fees he earned from pupils and from the sale of manuscript copies and publication rights of his works, mainly chamber music. Purchasers of manuscript copies traditionally enjoyed privileged use of a work or set of works for a fixed period before publication. But with Mozart already being branded a 'difficult' composer in some quarters, he found few takers for the string quintets K515 and 516 and the quintet arrangement, K406, of the C minor Wind Serenade (eighteenth-century chamber works were usually sold in sets of three or six). After advertising the three string quintets in manuscript copies 'finely and correctly written', for the sum of four ducats, in the Wiener Zeitung of 2 April 1788, Mozart was forced to make the humiliating announcement shortly afterwards that: 'As the number of subscribers is still very small, I find myself obliged to postpone publication of my three quintets until 1 January 1789.' Mozart eventually sold the three works to the firm of Artaria, who issued K515 in 1789, K516 in 1790 and K406 in 1792, the year after the composer's death.
Completed on 19 April 1787, the String Quintet in C major K515 is the most amply scaled of all Mozart's chamber works. Its breadth and grandeur of conception, prompted by the richness of the quintet sonority, makes it a counterpart to two Olympian orchestral masterpieces in the same key, the Piano Concerto K503 and the 'Jupiter' Symphony. Rosen has rightly called the first movement 'the largest sonata allegro before Beethoven'. Indeed, it prefigures Beethoven's F major 'Razumovksy' Quartet, Op 59 No 1, in its evocation of vast, calm vistas, created by a succession of expansive themes against (for a classical work) unusually slow-changing harmonies. From the cello–violin dialogues of the opening theme, with the parts reversed when the theme is repeated in C minor, through the gorgeous chromatic deflections, to the exposition's oscillating closing theme over a cello pedal (shades here of the Figaro overture shorn of its nervous energy), everything unfolds with Apollonian majesty. Exploiting the medium's potential for rich polyphony, Mozart builds the development to a magnificent climax in an intricate double canon on the Figaro theme, with first violin imitated by cello, second violin by first viola. There is further polyphonic elaboration in the coda, whose serene spaciousness is in keeping with the proportions of the whole movement.
Whereas the first movement employs the five instruments in myriad permutations, the Andante—in sonata form without development—is in essence a love duet for first violin and viola, with increasingly florid arabesques that culminate in a rapturous quasi-cadenza. The mood is one of unsullied Arcadian bliss, like one of Mozart's Salzburg serenades deepened and transfigured. In contrast with the surrounding movements, the minuet (placed before the Andante in some editions) is a curiously evasive, unsettled piece, beginning tentatively with a ten-bar phrase (four bars plus six) which Mozart proceeds to develop in ever-changing textures. The trio, appreciably longer than the minuet, is just as extraordinary: its first fourteen bars sound like a gigantic, speculative upbeat to the Ländler tune played by the violins in octaves over an accompaniment suggestive of a village band.
The catchy contredanse melody that launches the finale has a similar popular flavour. But from this innocent opening Mozart constructs a complex sonata-rondo on a vast scale (539 bars) to balance the first movement. A leisurely procession of memorable ideas includes a second subject which deflects mysteriously from G major to E flat major. But it is the contredanse tune that dominates the discourse, fragmented and worked in ingenious contrapuntal combinations (including being turned upside down), right through to the canon between first violin and cello in the coda.
