Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. It has been over five months now since we last visited our friend John Scott Whiteley and his videos of pipe organs and their interiors while being played, and so without further ado, tonight, for your delectation, here he is performing Johann Sebastian Bach's Sonata N° 6 ¤, Lente ¤, & Allegro ¤, BWV 530 (12:03), on the Zacharias Hildebrandt organ in the Wenzelskirche in Naumburg, Germany. If you're short of time right now, the Allegro has the best video (including some of the wind chests, the stops crossbars, and the many thousands of pipes in this organ).
The Wenzelskirche organ was Hildebrandt's largest, featuring three manuals and pedal, fifty-three stops, and a thirty-two foot Posaunenbass pipe with a principal harmonic frequency of sixteen hertz. It was played by Bach when it was completed, in 1746, and it was restored from 1993 to 2000. For those who are interested, our previous SDA Late Nite Radio shows featuring Mr. Whiteley and his videos were on 2008-07-28, 2008-10-13, 2009-07-14, and 2009-10-19.
Nota Bene: Reader Tips is not a place for chatting about the legislative results in the United States of America on Sunday. If Kate wants to, then she will create an entry thereto here at SDA. If not, not. Regardless: Reader Tips isn't that place.
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.
See you and raise you a jig.

My subwoofer doesn't even go down to 16 hertz let alone my main speakers.
Sorry Vit...just noticed your directive. Hope a link is acceptable as a reader tip...
Love the music BTW.
Normally, Bluetech, it would be no problem, but earlier tonight in a matter of five minutes there suddenly appeared twenty comments on what happened in Washington on Sunday, and its implications. Logically, that meant that in a matter of a couple hours, Reader Tips would have been inundated with a superabundancy of comments on that matter. But that would decrease the signal to noise ratio to the point where any actual reader tips (a "tip" isn't something everybody else already knows, folks) would no longer be discernible, thus defeating the entire purpose of Reader Tips. So the way I see it, we either have to do it this way, or we have to do away with Reader Tips, since to proceed otherwise with that title would then be a misrepresentation of what would then be going on here.
There have been a number of occasions in the past where some folks (even me, on occasion) have asked why oh why Kate didn't have an entry on this topic or that, and Kate has always made it abundantly clear that if the topic wasn't here then this wasn't the place to talk about it. It hardly seems reasonable to me that Reader Tips should be used for an end-run around that constraint.
Good video. I'm wondering how thay got air pressure to power such a large organ in the mid 1750's?
The answer to your question, Joe, is discussed in this SDA LNR comment.
Regardless of the censorship on this site, hopefully a few people will see this before it is deleted...a great speech:

Lew: when a bouncer kicks you out of a pub for breaking the house rules ~ that isn't censorship. That is: you were misbehaving. Smarten up. And while you're at it, you might want to bother to give us a clue as to what the link you just posted is about. Or do you just expect people to pick every undescribed link they find in the billions of comments posted every day across the web? Really? Why do you think your links are so important that people should just follow them without you bothering to put in the effort to to try to convince them that it would be worth their while? After all, if it's not that important to you, why should it be important to me? Or maybe you're just one of those people who thinks that everything is a free lunch and people owe you a free ride, and that you bear no responsibility in the matter?
Whatever...I will take my reader tips elsewhere.
Tip; Don't trust Canadian bank experts! Proof?

The Vancouver Province is a high-standard reliable Sunwest news source.
Recently on SDA we read about American banking experts who consider themselves brilliantly clever, yet they made a mess of the economy.
Here, BMO deputy chief economist Douglas Porter says we are booming ahead with a V shaped recovery.
However, CIBC's chief economist Avery Shenfeld says we Canadians are over estimating the recovery and need a reality check.
These are high level EXPERTS! Don't you think they should both be on one side?
Pathetic! They could differ by degree, but no way should they have 180* opposite findings.
I side with CIBC's Shenfeld. This is just Canada's annual spring thaw action and not a reliable guide for the rest of this year.
Tony G., the Vancouver Province reads like a tabloid.
Yeah, the tabloid format is compact and a pleasure to read, while the Sun broadsheet format is a pain in the buttinsky.
I meant content-wise. The Province is a B actor in a day-time soap:)
I know what you meant. You are not convincing me however.
Admittedly there is some pizzaz in the Province, but not at all at the Police Gazette level you try to imply.
Anyhow, the story in question has no twist and must be accurate because both parties in the story are major advertisers.

*You see that link via Borque And its also interesting to note that You will not see that posted at NNW. or most likely to not see any of that in the MSM.
I agree that commenters should include a brief description with their links.
Did anyone else catch the article in the National Post indicating that Liberal MP's are not invited to the "thinkfest?" -- Do they have any idea what the optics are on that? Pretty much confirming "top-down" control in that party and confirming Lib MP's as trained seals. http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=2710044
Linda its $695per. to attend the (liberal)thinkfest However if you are a keynote speaker You dont pay & Ignatieff is a keynote speaker.
So maybe this is just a way to deflect what Liberals are saying privately "Why should i Pay? Am i not Entitled Afterall is this not a Liberal Rally to promote our HeadMaster under the guies of a thinkfest"
Elsewhere in his remarks, he noted he was speaking on the night before the start of spring, “otherwise known to Al Gore as proof of global warming.”

The host has politely asked that the comments should be about his musical post or on the pipe organ itself. Please respect his wishes. Kate will put up posts about the US vote. This isnt it.

No, Spike, I did not ask that comments be about the music or the organ itself (that's just the seed tip of the night), Rather, I have asked that (as always) comments be reader tips or be about reader tips that others have posted (to a degree). Indeed, as I explained above, normally a Reader Tip about a US legislative decision would be quite ok. It is only because in this case some folks (who should have known better) started getting carried away last night that I specifically constrained these reader tips. Furthermore, since then, everyone has been being quite reasonable about it, for which I thank you, and lastly I note that EBD has now placed just such an entry on the main page, so the topic is indeed now appropriate there.

With Ron, I agree to agree.
We look for links of gold here.
Aaron's link is gold to me... naturally.

Other excellent links often here as well. Many real eye openers.
Another "clean energy project" hanging by a thread:
http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/St-Joseph-wind-farm-construction-to-begin-immediately-Selinger-88835097.html
Manitoba Hydro is loaning the St. Joseph wind farm $260 million to rescue the shaky Southern Manitoba project.
But Premier Greg Selinger and Hydro boss Bob Brennan say the deal is a good one for Manitobans. Hydro stands to make a small profit on the 20-year loan and if the wind farm company defaults, Hydro will simply take over ownership of the turbines.
Construction of the 138-megawatt wind farm located about 100 kilometres south of Winnipeg will begin immediately. When the turbines are turning at full blast next spring, the farm will generate enough power to serve the needs of 50,000 homes.
But the project is about half the size originally planned and more than a year late and no loan guarantees or bailouts were ever envision
fantastic , to go where no man has gone before.
