Summary of the Novel
The narrator of the story, Nick Carraway, has just returned from war and, restless in the West, goes East to work. In flashbacks he reveals the story of Jay Gatsby, his next-door neighbor, as he learns it. The nine chapters develop around seven parties interspersed with flashbacks.
Immediately after Nick moves to West Egg, he visits Daisy Buchanan, his second cousin "once-removed," and her husband Tom, a fellow Yale graduate, for dinner. Here Nick meets Jordan Baker, Daisy's friend from Louisville, who reveals that Tom is having an affair with Myrtle Wilson, the wife of a garage owner in the Valley of Ashes. Nick is shocked at the lack of morality in every level: the nouveau riche, the "old money," and those with no money at all.
Not long after, at the second party, Tom introduces Nick to Myrtle, who invites her sister Catherine and the McKees, residents in the hotel where the party takes place in New York City, to complete the guest list. At Gatsby's first party in West Egg, Nick meets a myriad of high-profile guests, most of whom have not been invited, all of whom ignore the statute concerning prohibition. The atmosphere is much like that of "an amusement park." The next party is lunch in town with Meyer Wolfsheim, one of Gatsby's business "connections," and obviously an underworld character.
Next, Tom and Daisy attend one of Gatsby's parties. By this time, Gatsby has used Nick, his next-door neighbor and Daisy's cousin, to set up a rendezvous with this young lady he had wanted to marry five years before. Daisy had married Tom Buchanan because of his immense wealth. Through the intervening years, Gatsby had managed to amass a fortune greater than Tom's and idealistically believes Daisy will leave Tom for him. Another party at Gatsby's mansion includes Tom and Daisy and a litany of diverse guests. The final catastrophic party at the Plaza Hotel in New York provides Tom the opportunity to confront Gatsby about his obsession with Daisy and Gatsby's alleged underworld activities.
Driving home from New York City, Daisy strikes and kills Myrtle Wilson with Gatsby's car. Gatsby, however, tells Nick he was driving the car. After tracing the yellow car to Gatsby, George Wilson shoots Gatsby to death in his pool and turns the gun on himself.
After Gatsby's poorly-attended funeral, Nick returns to the Midwest, disillusioned and disgusted by the experience.

The Life and Work of F. Scott Fitzgerald
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, now regarded as the spokesman for the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s, was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896. His childhood and youth seem, in retrospect, as poetic as the works he later wrote. The life he lived became "the stuff of fiction," the characters and the plots a rather thinly-disguised autobiography. Like Jay Gatsby, the title character of his most famous novel, Fitzgerald created a vision which he wanted to become, a "Platonic conception of himself," and "to this conception he was faithful to the end."
Fitzgerald was educated at parochial prep schools where he received strict Roman Catholic training. The religious instruction never left him. Ironically, he was denied burial in a Catholic cemetery because of his rather uproarious lifestyle, which ended in depression and alcoholism. In the fall of 1909, during his second year at St. Paul Academy, Fitzgerald began publishing in the school magazine. Sent East for a disciplined education, he entered The Newman School, whose student body came from wealthy Catholic families all over the country. At The Newman School he developed a friendship and intense rapport with Father Sigourney Webster
Fay, a trustee and later headmaster of the school and the prototype for a character in This Side of Paradise, Fitzgerald's first novel, published in 1920.
Upon his grandmother's death, Fitzgerald and the family received a rather handsome inheritance, yet Scott seemed always to be cast into a society where others enjoyed more affluence than he. However, like Gatsby, a self-made man, Fitzgerald became the embodiment of the American Dream—an American Don Quixote.
Thanks to another relative's money, Fitzgerald was able to enroll in Princeton in 1913. He never graduated from the Ivy League school; in fact, he failed several courses during his undergraduate years. However, he wrote revues for the Triangle Club, Princeton's musical comedy group, and "donned swishy, satiny dresses to romp onstage" alongside attractive chorus girls. Years later, after enjoying some literary fame, he was asked to speak at Princeton, an occasion which endeared the school to him in new ways. Today, Princeton houses his memoirs, including letters from Ernest Hemingway motion picture scripts, scrapbooks, and other mementos.
He withdrew from Princeton and entered the war in 1917, commissioned as a second lieutenant in the army. While in Officers Candidate School in Alabama, he met and fell in love with Zelda Sayre, a relationship which is replicated in Jay Gatsby's obsession with Daisy and her fascination with a military man. He never made it to the European front, but he did come to the attention of New York publishers by the end of the war. Despite Zelda's breaking their engagement, they became re-engaged that fall. Their marriage produced one daughter—Scottie, who died in 1986. In 1919 his earnings totaled $879; the following year, following the publication of This Side of Paradise, an instant success, his earnings increased to $18,000.
By 1924 it was clear that Fitzgerald needed a change. He, Zelda, and Scottie moved to Europe, near the French Riviera, where he first met Ernest Hemingway Gertrude Stein and Edith Wharton. Before long, Zelda met and had an affair with Edouard Josanne, a relationship which Fitzgerald at first ignored but ultimately forced to a showdown. His writing may have profited because of her affair—according to biographer Andrew Turnbull, Fitzgerald's jealousy "sharpened the edge of Gatsby's and gave weight to Tom Buchanan's bullish determination to regain his wife."
To increase earnings he wrote some 160 short stories for magazines, works which, by his own admission, lacked luster. After Zelda's alcoholism had several times forced her commitment to an institution, Scott went to Hollywood to write screenplays, and struggled unsuccessfully to complete a final novel, The Last Tycoon. He died in December of 1940 after a lifelong battle with alcohol and a series of heart attacks.
As early as 1920, Fitzgerald had in mind a tragic novel. He wrote to the president of Princeton that his novel would "say something fundamental about America, that fairy tale among nations." He saw our history as a great pageant and romance, the history of all aspiration—not just the American dream but the human dream—and, he wrote, "If I am at the end of it that too is a place in the line of the pioneers." Perhaps because of that vision, he has been called America's greatest modern romantic writer, a purveyor of timeless fiction with a gift of evocation that has yet to be surpassed. His works reflect the spirit of his times, yet they are timeless.
One cannot fail to notice how much of himself Fitzgerald put into all his work; he spoke of writing as a "sheer paring away of oneself." A melange of characters replicate or at least suggest people in his acquaintance. Gatsby seems almost to be an existential extension of Fitzgerald's posture, a persona created perhaps as a premonition of his own tragic end.
The almost poetic craftsmanship of Fitzgerald's prose, combined with his insight into the American experience, presented an imperishable portrait of his age, securing for him a permanent and enviable place in literary history.
Structure of the Novel
In the tradition of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, this novel is structured as a frame tale. From as early as the Middle Ages writers of English have employed the device of framing a story with another story. The experience in The Great Gatsby is actually Nick Carraway's, not Jay Gatsby's. He relates Gatsby's story. Because Nick is a moral exemplar from start to finish, the reader sees him as a reliable narrator; we can believe his account of Gatsby.
By the second page of the novel, the story becomes an account of Gatsby's story as told in flashbacks through Nick's point of view. This flashback structure can make it difficult to place the events of the novel in their proper time sequence. For an explanation of the proper sequence of events, see the timeline of The Great Gatsby below.
The dominant effect of this literary convention is veracity: the reader can believe that what Nick says is truth. The end of the story appears in the beginning, for immediately the reader becomes aware that Nick is disenchanted with the immorality of the East and wants to return to the West. After his "privileged glimpse into the heart," a journey he does not wish to repeat, the story turns to Nick's perceptions of Gatsby and of Long Island. Gatsby's dream almost replicates that of the "Dutch sailors" who, in their discovery of the New World, found a latter-day Camelot. Such a similarity justifies Nick's belief that Gatsby's dream made him "worth more than the whole damn bunch put together." He had "an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness," that almost justified his illegal doings in the eyes of Nick.
Built upon the conventional rags-to-riches motif, this novel fits the mold of a Horatio Alger story. Typically, the poor boy risks himself to save the "damsel in distress" in a wagon pulled at breakneck speed by a runaway horse. As a result of saving the young lady, he works for her father, usually a man of means, and ultimately inherits her father's business and marries her. In a sense he raises himself by his "own bootstraps." Such is the ideal American Dream—an innocent, pure form of Thomas Jefferson's "pursuit of happiness." In Fitzgerald's parallel, "the poor boy," Gatsby, naïvely determines to amass wealth in whatever ways necessary, the implication being that nothing can preclude or obstruct his winning the damsel's hand. Like the archetypal Cinderella story, the most deserving must always win Prince Charming and become heir to a massive fortune. Tragically, Gatsby had learned well from American society that dishonesty and illicit means of procuring a fortune will win what pure love and resolve cannot.
Estimated Reading Time
An average reader can complete the novel in four to five hours. A close reading will take longer perhaps, but even reading critically, the reading should not require much more than five hours.

With unmatched research and design, Takamine® continues to demonstrate their leadership in acoustic-electric guitar amplification technology.
The Cool Tube® preamp introduced at the January 2004 NAMM show in Anaheim, California is the most significant development in "on-board" acoustic signal processing since Takamine presented the Acoustic DSP, the industry's first on-board "digital" acoustic guitar preamplifier in 1998. The Takamine Cool Tube® preamp is an on-board acoustic- electric preamp that utilizes a 12AU7 dual triode vacuum tube. The "Cool Tube" packs a huge amount of features and amazing tone into a compact package that fits neatly into Takamine's "SoundChoice" docking port. The "Cool Tube" preamp joins a range of five distinctly different preamps that are all interchangeable, giving the Takamine player several great options to fit their personal style and taste.
The Cool Tube® preamp gets its name from Takamine's unique and new technology that runs the Tube at very low voltages, therefore the tube does not glow or produce high levels of heat. The tube actually runs at only two or three degrees above ambient, so there is no concern over the delicate tone woods being affected by radiant heat. With the Takamine Cool Tube® preamp, the playing will be hot, the tone will be warm, and the tube always remains cool.
Takamine players will find a most useful array of features to enhance their recording or live performance applications:

Tips and advice to make your marriage last.
Many of us spent our teens and 20s dreaming of our perfect wedding – the flowers, our gown, the reception party, who our bridesmaids would be. All we needed was Mr. Right to throw into the equation and we'd carry on happily ever after – just like in the movies. But what happens after the honeymoon phase is over?
The divorce rate in the U.S. is over 50 percent for first marriages, 67 percent for second marriages and 74 percent for third. While none of us foresee divorce in our future as we say "I do," marriage can evolve from newlywed bliss into monotony if you let it. There are a number of mistakes couples make, both in expectations and priorities, that can set a marriage up for disaster. Recognize the following early on and set yourself up to beat the odds:
There's more to marriage than love. If you don't make time to work on your marriage, seek to understand each other's needs, discuss your feelings, and feel heard and understood, you're setting yourselves up to drift apart.
Recognize that you're part of a team. With today's hectic work schedules, don't assume that you'll naturally spend time with one another. And when you do spend time together, don't make it just focused on the daily grind of work, money and the weeks to-do's. Make a conscious effort to schedule uninterrupted time to discuss the business of life and matters of the heart.
Don't just go through the motions. Do something you both view as fun. Or switch off and honor each other's idea of fun. Find enjoyment in your partner being happy. And remember, it doesn't have to be date night. Steal a half-hour in the early morning, during lunch hour or after dark to invest in your marriage.
Marriage doesn't ensure happiness. If you have problems in your relationship, marriage will not fix them. Don't lie to yourself. Just because he sees a future with you doesn't mean he's the right person for you. Make sure you're entering a life with your eyes wide open, knowing all the good, bad and ugly about each other. Then make sure you discuss how you view life together, including lifestyle, budget, money, religion, children, careers, passions, dreams, needs, et cetera. If you want to make sure you're discussing all the potential issues, head to the bookstore for many great books to help you ask all the right questions.
Everyone argues. Everyone fights. It's how you handle your emotions and disagreements that matter. In fact, taking the effort to discuss your arguments and work out solutions will only make you stronger. Make sure you don't fight below the belt. Work at communicating your thoughts and seek to understand each other verses winning the argument. Make a pact with each other to always tell each other what's heavy on your heart. Then try to be a good listener and ask what you can do. Do you just need to vent? Do you want me to help provide suggestions? Be each other's biggest fans. Life is prickly enough – be the change your marriage needs.
Roles and responsibilities will not just fall into place. Chores and family responsibilities should be divided and discussed. Don't assume he knows which nights are his to empty the dishwasher, or has memorized your specific organizational methods. In an era where both men and women work outside the home and are dually responsible for chores within the home, there's room for a lot of gray area.
TV is not real life. It's not fair to compare your husband to romantic scenes on TV and in movies. Even comparing your marriage to your best friend's is setting yourself up for failure. All marriages go through ups and downs, no matter how physically attracted you are to one another. Enjoy your own experiences and don't let other thoughts or comparisons creep into bed with you. Celebrate what you love about your marriage and work through what needs to be worked on.
Children won't necessarily bring you closer together. Contrary to common belief, children do not necessarily solidify a marriage. In fact, studies show married couples were happiest before they had children. Why? You have a lot on your plate already. Add children to the equation and it's likely that one-on-one time with your spouse will be hard to come by. Make a conscious effort to carve out time for each other at least once a week. Additionally, focus on ensuring your marriage is standing strong on its own before bringing kids into the picture. Then, when children enter the picture, make life fun with them.
Marriage is a journey. It requires dedication and realistic expectations. Communicate, don't compare yourselves to other couples and be happy with what you have. A marriage won't work unless you dedicate yourself and your time to making it successful.

Californians OK Deficit-Avoiding Tax Hikes
California has gone where few states go — voters approved temporary hikes to both state income and sales taxes and a legislatively approved climate change measure has gone into effect that will auction off carbon allowances.
Increasing taxes and burdening businesses that spew greenhouse gases are supposed to tank the economy, but California budget analysts say the state could go from a decade of deep deficits to a budget surplus as large as $9 billion by 2018.
Californians also handed over the reins of state government to Democrats, giving Governor Jerry Brown a state assembly with two-thirds majorities in both houses. The last time one party held such a commanding position in the assembly was 1933, according to Bloomberg News.
Of course, the road from deep deficits to budget surpluses rests on more robust economic recovery and continued legislative spending control. A key piece of spending discipline is a legislative decision in 2009 to eliminate automatic cost-of-living increases and inflation adjustments for state programs.
Brown said voter approval of the tax hikes "validates the hard work the state has done to cut its deficit and balance its budget. California is now on the path for a fair and sustainable budget as long as we continue to exercise fiscal discipline and pay down debt."
Still, passing tax increases estimated to generate an additional $6-$8 billion per year until they expire in 2018 is a huge political achievement. The sales tax rate went from 7.25 percent to 7.5 percent and income tax rates rose for taxpayers earning more than $250,000 per year. For filers with $1 million in taxable income, the new state income tax rate is 13.3 percent, reportedly the highest in the nation.

I took two MLS virgins to the game on Saturday night at Toyota Park. Takeaways the night of: Modelo and Tyskie were a plus, Section 8 is loud, my stadium blanket is missing a button or two.
But when I asked them about the game last night, the takeaways were different. "It's like they were snakebit," one of them said.
Snakebit is probably too kind. Cubs-related words start to come to mind when you miss the chances the Fire missed in the second half before Jeff Larentowicz finally scored in the 83rd.
Andy Greunenbaum was on fire, ok, and obviously if the finishes were a wee bit more clinical the Fire could've made it a laugher, but in the moment, in the stadium, freezing, it felt like the goal would never come.
Section 8 and the rest of the fans were torn between encouraging the team and letting out some boos (and grunts and groans and other moans) of frustration. In my section, a kind of supporter dichotomy emerged throughout the second half as one fan stood to admonish Chris Rolfe after a second half miss, while a soccer team sized group of young girls cheered Rolfe on, assuring him he'd get the next one.
But Gonzalo Segares had a shot from 10 feet right at the keeper in the 49th minute and Larentowicz badly sliced the follow up, Austin Berry was robbed in the 75th, Patrick Nyarko was blocked in the 51st and 54th, and Rolfe in the 56th and 75th. The crowd was exasperated and freezing and desperate to figure out what to make of the game.
Every good passage seemed to be punished or mercilessly ignored by Greunenbaum, who was scarily springy. Every time Nyarko's hustle was rewarded with space behind the Crew or the decisive pass (which seemed like every time he was near the ball), nothing. Every time Rolfe turned his man, he booted the finish. That was what was most frustrating - it was like the game was ignoring how well the Fire were playing. It all felt sort of cruel.
And so it makes soccer-perfect sense that the goal didn't come from a measured through ball or some quick passing, nor did it come from the high pressure that harassed Columbus all game. It came on a basically ugly long throw and an industrial finish from Larentowicz.
The game ran out of ways to keep the Fire from scoring, and the team reacted - erm, celebrated - with as much an exhale, like, "Finally," as hysterical exuberance. Look at the gif above. After his goal, Larentowicz barely smiles!
But the game doesn't care. In the end my friends had witnessed a fairly good introduction to Toyota Park. The game was exciting, the Fire won the day, and maybe most important, the cheering dilemma in my section was definitively decided in favor of the encouraging girls.

Some of the best tweets in the lead-up to, during and after Saturday's 1-0 victory over the Columbus Crew...
Select shots from the Fire's 1-0 win over the Crew
Get to know this year's version of the Fire's long-time foe.
Check out the MLS scouting report below, for a technical break down of both sides.
The Fire return to Toyota Park to take on the Columbus Crew Saturday (LIVE 7:30pm CT on MLSsoccer.com) with no points to show after an encouraging performance last weekend against the Dynamo. But for a few mistakes, the result could have been a lot better for the Fire, but the team is certainly improving.
Columbus come to Chicago on a four-game unbeaten streak and have picked up two wins on their travels this season. Here are a few things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Getting the ball wide – creating 1v1 situations with the Columbus outside backs
Looking at the Columbus defense, Chad Marshall has been a rock for 10 years in the middle and the addition of the Brazilian Glauber means the Crew has one of the strongest center back pairings in the league.
On the outside however, there are some weaknesses, particularly on the left. Against Montreal last week, the Crew stuffed the middle of the field when the Impact had the ball in an attempt to prevent Felipe from creating. This meant there was a lot of space on the wings and when the Impact actually got the ball to the outside, they created chances.
WATCH: CHIvCLB Match Preview
If the Fire are going to try and single out Tyson Wahl and try and get in 1v1 situations with him, Patrick Nyarko might be the best player for the Fire to deploy on the right hand side. Bringing in Nyarko would mean either dropping or shifting Daniel Paladini, the Fire's standout player so far this season.
Another issue to deal with on the left hand side for the Crew is the presence of Eddie Gaven. Though Gaven has left his left back Wahl exposed on more than a few occasions this season, his attacking play makes up for it.
In any case, I expect to see a lot of activity on that side of the field and those battles should be fascinating to watch.
Dominic Oduro – not letting the former Fire player get in behind
The Fire traded Dominic Oduro to the Crew in the offseason for Dilly Duka and the Ghanaian has notched three goals for his new club this season. The Fire defenders will know all about the pace of their old teammate and the runs he tends to make, but they still need to be very cautious and the back line must work as a unit.
The danger of playing a high line against Oduro is that he can make runs in behind, whereas if the defense drops too deep, it allows the Crew to pile on the pressure and keep the Fire pinned back in their own half. Another, less reported danger from Oduro's runs in behind is the second ball opportunities they create.
When balls are being played through to Dom, oftentimes defenders are stretching to cut them out, or just turning and blindly kicking the ball away, resulting in second ball opportunities. Columbus are very good at getting men forward to pick up on these second balls, with players like Higuain and Viana looking to do so whenever possible.
This tactic worked well for Columbus against the Impact last week. The emphasis will be on the Fire midfielders to track their runners and not allow Columbus to create chances from the second balls on Saturday night.
Defending set pieces – beating a dead horse but a noteworthy point
Watching the Crew's last few matches reminded me again of how good Federico Higuain's deliveries from dead balls are. His corners and free kicks, from any distance, cause havoc in the box.
Against Houston last week, the winning goal came off a badly defended set piece all around for the Fire. Brad Davis was allowed to put the ball in under no pressure after playing the free kick short and then the Fire's back line and goalkeeper all froze, allowing the ball to bounce straight into the net.
It's difficult to blame one person for the goal, but it was a very soft one to give up. That being said, I would like to see goalkeeper Sean Johnson start to come and claim more corners and crosses, especially with his size, but doing that brings about the risk of not getting to the ball and allowing easy goals to be scored.
In any case, allowing free headers against Columbus is unacceptable and picking up a clean sheet for only the second time this season would be welcomed by fans and technical staff alike.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from Chris Rolfe and Joel Lindpere.

The Composers
Franz (Peter) Schubert
In his short life, Viennese-born composer Franz Schubert made significant contributions to orchestral, chamber and piano music that were to influence generations of composers. His most telling contribution, however, was probably in the field of German art-song or Lied, of which he composed more than 600 examples.
Born the son of a music-loving schoolteacher on 31 January 1797, Schubert received his first piano lessons from his older brother, Ignaz and his first violin lessons from his father. He began composing his first songs and string quartets soon after. Early training with Salieri and a solid education at the Imperial and Royal City College, where he met lifelong friend Josef von Spaum, followed.
In 1813 Schubert began to train as a teacher and in 1814 he became an assistant to his father. Throughout this time, he continued to compose prolifically, writing 150 songs alone in his eighteenth year. Having failed to win the post of music teacher at the teachers' training college in Laibach, he became dissatisfied with his vocation and in 1816 refused to return to his father's school.
Schubert never married, but it's possible that he was in love with Theresa Grob, a young soprano, and his application for the Laibach post was a precursor to a proposed union. In any case, he failed to win the post and renounced the possibility of marriage soon after.
Although by this time the young Schubert had written over 300 songs, 5 symphonies, 4 masses and 7 string quartets, there had still not been a single public performance of his music in Vienna. In 1818 this started to change, transforming Schubert's fortunes and finances.
By 1821, Schubert had been tutor to the Esterházy children at Zselitz, had found brief employment as a répétiteur at the Hofoper, and had seen many of his works performed and published. In January of 1821, the first documented Schubertiad, a gathering of Schubert's friends at which the composer would play his latest works, took place.
1822 was another highly creative year during which Schubert earned enormous sums from his frequent publications. However, in order to maintain his prolific output of music, the composer lived an intense, bohemian lifestyle: writing solidly from 6 am to 1pm everyday, he would eat unhealthily, drink and smoke prodigiously, and engage in sexual excesses. In early 1823, Schubert contracted syphilis and for the next six years suffered from the symptoms that would eventually lead to his death.
Despite his illness, the pace and quality of his musical productions continued unabated. 1824 saw a return to Zselitz, possibly because he was in love with Caroline Esterházy, and the summer of 1825 saw Schubert accompany Vogl on an extended trip around Austria. Coming in the middle of a prolonged symptom-free period of good health that lasted until July 1826, this was undoubtedly the happiest time of Schubert's life and produced the Great Symphony No. 9 in C major.
The remaining three years of Schubert's life would see a down-turn in the composer's health, fortunes and finances. On 28 January 1828 the last Schubertiad took place and in March, the composer felt confident enough to present a grand concert of his works. Despite netting Schubert a great deal of money, the proceeds seem to have slipped through his fingers.
Now suffering badly from the symptoms of syphilis, Schubert moved in with his brother Ferdinand in September 1828, but the damp air of his house only compounded the illness. Still, Schubert kept up the pace of his composition, completing his great song-cycle, Schwanengesang. On 19 November, Schubert died, probably from the advanced state of his illness.
Although between 1821 and 1828, over 100 opuses had been published, less than a quarter of Schubert's total output was published during his lifetime. Of those works that were, more than two thirds were songs; the famous Unfinished Symphony, for example, was not performed until 1865.
Yet Schubert's influence on the remainder of the 19th century was immense and arguably rivalled or exceeded that of Beethoven. Based on the traditions of the Viennese Classicism of Mozart, Haydn and early Beethoven, he developed his own uniquely expressive style, particularly suited to song, but equally effective in instrumental works.
His works were catalogued by O E Deutsch in 1951 and are therefore prefixed with the letter D.
Related composers: Beethoven, Mozart, Rossini, Weber

One of the greatest String Quartets ever written, Schubert's String Quartet No. 14 'Death and the Maiden' was completed in March of 1824. Along with the A minor Quartet D804, it was the first chamber music Schubert had composed for three years.
The work's nickname stems from the second movement, a set of variations on Schubert's 1817 setting of Claudius' Der Tod und das Madchen. This wonderfully inventive movement lies at the heart of the Quartet. It is preceded by a fiery Allegro and followed by an equally forceful Scherzo, though the Trio section is wistfully happy in tone.
The final movement of this remarkable work is a lively Presto in the style of the Saltarello or Tarantella dance. Seemingly full of outbursts of happiness amidst the nervous intensity and rhythmic insistency, it forms a thrilling conclusion to the Quartet.
Despite the overtones of death suggested by the dour and often violent atmosphere, the String Quartet No. 14 was written at a happy and creatively productive period in Schubert's life. It was finally first performed at the residence of Josef Barth, but not published until 1831, three years after the composer's death.

Live like a King (or Queen!)
Step back in time to the days of knights and fair maidens, when castles were vital to the defence of a kingdom. Visiting historic castles is undoubtedly a highlight of any trip to Britain, but if you really want to live Britain's heritage, why not stay overnight?
Wherever your visit to Britain takes you, you're never far from a castle reflecting thousands of years of human occupation. If only their walls could talk, what tales they would tell! Amberley Castle, for example, has stood in the West Sussex countryside for over 900 years, originally beginning life as a hunting lodge for the Bishops of Chichester. A later owner was Queen Elizabeth I, who held the lease from 1588 to 1603.
Wales is renowned as the 'Land of Castles'. Conquering Normans were the first castle builders, constructing strongholds in strategic locations along the coast and deep in the mountains. You really can be king or queen of your own castle when you stay at Penhow Castle in South Wales, the oldest lived-in castle in Wales dating from the 17th century, where you can be assured of a good night's sleep in Penhow's one guestroom featuring an Edwin Lutyens bed.
Exclusive Castle Rentals offer the chance to take up residence in a castle or stately home which becomes yours exclusively for your stay. Be pampered by your very own butler or be catered for by your own chef - be treated like a king or queen for the day.

As if John Galliano and Charlie Sheen (sorry. I promised myself to be the only blog in blogosphere not to mention him. But I just had to.) aren't enough, Coco Crisp was arrested early this morning from driving under the influence. I was, of course, sad to hear it. I'm not particularly a fan of his, but I do follow him on Twitter which, in a bizarre way, makes me feel like I know him. This isn't incredibly rare at Spring Training. Just sad.
I would also like to say that although I have the utmost respect for Bruce Jenkins, his story from this morning seems really, really iffy. "A source close to the team indicated Tuesday that there is 'exasperation' with Zito, that his status as the No. 5 starter is '"definitely not safe.'" What does that even mean? Source close to the team? Indicated? I have no doubt the Giants are exploring options and don't necessarily want Zito around, but I really doubt anyone in the organization told Jenkins that. The story was just to stir up interest and, of course, page hits (hey, I just liked to it above). The closed door meeting with Bochy and Zito probably was a little tense, because it's not a fun situation for anyone. But it seems Zito is trying to do this with a good attitude and is working hard and all parties involved are trying to stop this from getting ugly.
At least the socks are brighter than ever.
Honestly, maybe it would be best for Zito to leave the Giants. A change of scenery might be a godsend. But either way, it's really, really too early judge Barry 2011.
Let's end on a happier note by just saying that if I could sit five rows away from Dave Dombrowski , I would faint. Or I might just go up to him and tell him he should have sent Galarraga to the Giants, not the Diamondbacks.

Saucony Spring 2010 Footwear
Over the past few seasons Saucony has quietly transformed themselves from the shoe company of your grandparents to the shoe company of their grandchildren largely through improved styling that holds ties to traditional styling cues while improving each new update with consistently fresh and modern cosmetics. Add to this a renewed focus on the types of shoes that younger runners tend to wear such as lightweight trainers, cross country flats and spikes and you have a recipe for growth within the younger generation while still maintaining contact with their more conservative customer base. The newest updates from Saucony for Spring 2010 should help keep the momentum built up the past few seasons rolling forward.
Saucony updates for Spring 2010 start with the new Saucony ProGrid Triumph 7. Saucony has always been known for producing shoes that have a soft, plush ride as well as having a snug fit in the arch area. The Triumph is Saucony's premium neutral cushioning model that has traditionally highlighted these qualities. To this end Saucony has addressed several areas in this newest update that exemplify the soft ride and snug arch Saucony is known for. Saucony has increased the Super Rebound Compound (SRC) in the heel of the ProGrid Triumph 7 for improved cushioning on impact plus they have added more blown rubber in the outsole for a softer road feel. A less bulky Arch Lock improves the fit, while the addition of an eye stay within the Arch Lock improves lockdown of the midfoot. A newly added midfoot support bridge should help support the arch better. The fit and performance of the ProGrid Triumph 6 was pretty spot on, so Saucony took the approach of minimizing the "improvements" in search of a better end product, which was the correct path for this particular model. This new edition will likely please the current fan base of the Triumph series and continues to be an attractive model for runners looking at a new high end neutral trainer to consider switching to.

Order Information
In February 1968, the rumors became reality: An ARCO drilling rig has struck oil -- lots of oil -- on Alaska's remote North Slope. Jack Roderick's story of oil and politics in Alaska reads like a novel as he tells of the risky, expensive, and mostly frustrating search for oil across the Northland. Oil companies watch one another jealously. Small independents and the new state struggle to share in the action dominated by huge multi-national oil companies. Gov. Bill Egan, the shy grocer from Valdez, stands up to the industry, seeking the largest possible share of oil revenues for Alaskans.
"CRUDE DREAMS isn't just for oil people. It's a real page-turner that describes how oil happened to Alaska over decades of intrigue, punctured dreams, and bonanza." --Kay Fanning, former editor, Anchorage Daily News and The Christian Science Monitor
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jack Roderick, former mayor of Anchorage, has lived for more than four decades in Alaska where he remains active in the oil industry, public affairs, and politics.

The Great Ocean Road and region has some of the world surfing professionals' favourite surf spots. Most famous of all is internationally renowned Bells Beach, home to the annual Rip Curl Pro event as part of the Association of Surfing Professionals world tour.
The coastline from Point Lonsdale to the 12 Apostles has surf spots dotted along it. You get a clue when the surf is pumping when certain car parks along the Great Ocean Road are full of local tradesmen's vans and utes - having downed tools for the day to capitalise on the good conditions.
As well as the pounding surf at beaches like Bells and Johanna, there are some more sheltered coves and bays with gentler waves terrific for beginners or for taking a surfing lesson with a local company.
Many of the beaches are patrolled in Summer, and lifesavers can give advice on local breaks, reefs, tides and currents. Please visit the Beach Safe website for more information by clicking here.
Torquay, at the beginning of the Great Ocean Road, was the birthplace of surf culture. The leading surf brands of Rip Curl and Quiksliver were established here more than 30 years ago and are now global market leaders in clothing and equipment for surf, snow and adventure sports. They still have a large presence in town with the Surf City Plaza retail facility on the highway full of surf stores and there are a number of factory outlets nearby offering fashion, accessories and equipment bargains.

It's May, so it's time for peaches.
Not Georgia peaches, yet, but Florida peaches.
The Florida fruit helps fill the gap when Chile shipments end in March through Georgia's usual mid-May start.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Florida grew 4,000 acres, mostly along the Georgia state line and marketed by Georgia packers.
Killer freezes during the 1980s ended that production, said Mercy Olmstead, a stone fruit extension specialist and assistant professor at the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Horticultural Sciences, Gainesville.
Today, 45 growers are estimated to grow nearly 1,200 acres, up from the 120 acres that went in the ground in 2006, Olmstead said.
Last season's acreage produced 3 million pounds, she said.
Growers in the Dundee Citrus Growers Association, who supply one of the state's largest citrus packinghouses, grow peaches on more than 300 acres as part of Dundee Stone Fruit LLC.
To fill demand, Dundee Stone Fruit expects its peach acreage to increase over the next few years, said Al Finch, vice president of sales and marketing for Florida Classic Growers, the association's marketing arm.
"This year, we've seen our volume triple from last season," he said. "Demand for tree-ripened ready-to-eat peaches far exceeds supply. This year's program has expanded to outside of the Southeastern U.S."
Though the state typically produces small, 2- to 2.5-inch fruit, university breeding efforts are helping produce larger fruit.
In late April, Olmstead gained consumer feedback through some peach tastings at Sarasota, Fla., farm markets.
She said most people are impressed by the quality, but said the biggest challenge is getting the state's retailers to promote it as Florida fruit.
Most of the state's acreage is planted along the Interstate 4 corridor and south, including in Arcadia, Immokalee and Punta Gorda, with significant production in the Plant City area and Vero Beach, Olmstead said.
She said breeders are trying to develop varieties that produce well in warmer, low chill-hour areas closer to Miami.
Florida's 3 million pounds isn't listed in the most recent production tables published by the National Peach Council, Dillsburg, Pa.
Though a fraction of the fresh production in 2012 in California (688 million pounds), South Carolina (150 million pounds) and Georgia (66 million pounds), Florida production fills a short marketing window.
