  1. Terry Teachout, My Favorite Classical Recordings
    In 1969, at the age of thirteen, I bought my first classical album, a recording of Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. That purchase was the start of a lifelong obsession.
    Forty years later, I own 2,000 classical compact discs—a fraction of the many LP’s, cassettes, CD’s and digital sound files that have passed through my hands since then. The rigors of apartment living have forced me to be choosy, so it is unusual for me to retain more than two performances of the same piece, usually a 78-era version and a more modern one. But I have also become acutely aware of the relative merits of the records I continue to own, and when I bought my first iPod in 2005 in order to listen to music while traveling, I loaded it with the ones that I liked best. Now, after much winnowing, I have come up with a list of 25 classical records that for me are indispensable, the ones to which I return most often, both on the road and at home…

  2. My favourite Copt, Fr. Zakaria Botros, does a show on “The perverse sexual habits of the Prophet”
    http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/024363.php
    . . .
    The co-host, rather abruptly, interjected – “What of all those rumors that Muhammad exhibited homosexual tendencies?”
    Botros dropped his face in his hands and mumbled, “So you still insist we discuss that?” The co-host was adamant, saying it was for Muslims’ own good to know everything.
    Thus Botros, after profusely apologizing to his Muslim viewers, saying how embarrassing this was for him, declared: “Look! We’re merely readers here, bringing up what we have read in Islam’s own books! If Muslims don’t like it, they should go and burn these books.”
    The first anecdote discussed by the priest revolved around a hadith that, while some ulema say is “weak,” is, nonetheless according to Botros, present in 44 Islamic books—including some highly respected collections, such as Sunan Bayhaqi and Al Halabi.
    According to this hadith, a man named Zahir, who used to declare that “the prophet loves me,” said that one day Muhammad crept unawares behind him and put him in a bear-hug. Zahir, alarmed, yelled, “Get off me!” After turning his head and discovering that it was Muhammad, he stopped struggling and proceeded to “push his back into the prophet’s chest — prayers and blessings upon him.”
    Another curious hadith contained in Sunan Bayhaqi and which traces to Sunan Abu Dawud (one of the six canonical hadith collections), has Muhammad lifting up his shirt for a man who proceeded to kiss his entire torso, “from his bellybutton to his armpits.”
    Botros looked casually at the camera and said, “Imagine if the sheikh of Al Azhar [nearest Muslim equivalent to the pope] went around lifting his shirt for men to kiss his torso” (he proceeded to make smacking kissing noises, for effect).
    Said the co-host: “Surely there’s more?”
    Botros: “Indeed there is. No less than 20 Islamic sources—such as the hadiths of Ahmad bin Hanbal—relay that Muhammad used to suck on the tongues of boys and girls”…

  3. I followed a link to a poll that was identified as a CNN poll. But there’s nothing that identifies the site as CNN and it looks suspicious to me. Does anyone know what this is?

    I feel stupid because I voted before looking closely at the site and now I don’t know if I’ll have a computer problem as a result.

  4. Vitruvius, great video, thank you.
    I’m learning to not be surprised by the range of artistic expertise available to professional entertainers like these. They make everything they do look easy, so it’s normal for us ordinary folk to assume it’s actually easy. After all, how hard is it to insert a CD into a player?

  5. Kate, just heard Adler giving your blog a great plug, looks good on you, keep up the good work.
    Cheers

  6. Vitruvius: Splendid cut, man. Fascinating to consider that Nat a virtuoso pianist was kinda forced into singing and ended up being one of the greats; and Ella Fitzgerald was really a dancer but in that contest figured she was toast so switched to singing, and is one of the greatest, if not THE.
    Was talking to an old friend the other day after listening to his new CD (we had been in a band together in the late 60s). I had mentioned that I had just heard Mel Torme on CBC2 and that, while I know he’s considered a musician’s musician, I never cottoned on to this voice. Shocked to see him on drums — and playing so hot.
    Thanks. Most interesting! Which reminds me, tho he’s not a conservative, I’m gonna strongly recommend he visit SDA at the very least for your excellent musical choices.

  9. You’re welcome, Glasnost & Me No Dhimmi, I’m glad y’all liked tonight’s show. I do agree on the matter of the artistic skills of the musicians who have survived the test of time. That is not to say that there were no good musicians who are no longer known, rather, it is to say that bad musicians from the distant past, now that the fashions of that day no longer overwhelm, are in general no longer known (excepting of course among peculiar aficionados of bad music).
    What I find most interesting, perhaps, is that when one goes and reads about these artists (such as via the Wikipedia links we provide in our SDA LNR shows), one finds a remarkable amount of networking and intermixing between those we have now come to consider classics. For example, consider that in tonight’s show alone, the inspirations and collaborations of Nat, Mel, and June include: Louis Armstrong, Earl Hines, Eubie Blake, Oscar Peterson, Ray Charles, Lester Young, Lionel Hampton, Ella Fitzgerald, Eartha Kitt, Harry James, Artie Shaw, Cole Porter, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Benny Goodman, George Shearing, Gerry Mulligan, Stan Kenton, Billy Barnes, Bob Cooper, and Bud Shank.
    As I’ve written here before, I’m a classic liberal, like Mill, and I think we have made great progress in that regard over the last few centuries, and I’d like to conserve our gains, and not loose them to the marxist “progressives”. One of great advances in equality upon principle that has happened in the last century has happened in the field of music. For example, in tonight’s show, we have a black male, a jewish male, and a white female.
    Not only do they seem to be gettin’ along fine, I often find that when I study the histories of people like them, from Stan Getz to Nat King Cole to Frank Sinatra, they often stood ground for each other against the pre-judgments of their day. Perhaps their shared accomplishments in the art of music has something to do with this legacy of transcending mere ideological differences.
    Or maybe utopianist ideologues should just be shot. What do I know?

  10. Obama wants to close Guantanamo. But what happens to the “residents”? Apparently, the US wants to find a country that’ll take them. Does Canada still offer the “Family Reunification” classification for immigrants? Is it possible that we could be made an offer that we couldn’t refuse?
    The Toronto Star wants to help……: “This is an occasion Prime Minister Stephen Harper should seize, by publicly offering to bring home Omar Khadr, the Canadian who is Gitmo’s youngest prisoner and the last Western one. If Obama is in a hurry to close the place, Harper can oblige. ….. Harper’s neglect of this file is shameful. Now that the Gitmo legal process is crumbling, Harper should bring Canada’s sorry role to a close by offering to empty one more cell for Obama.”
    The timing looks perfect for this to blow up in the media exactly when Parliament reconvenes.
    It deserves a poll on what to do with them. Let’s not leave it to the Star. What about a turkey shoot? Or skydiving lessons over Gaza?

  12. A big shout out to ‘glasnost’ and others for their excellent comments of late. Glasnost, I left you a comment re the Evan Sayet video tip. After listening to him speak 2 years ago, it was amazing how prescient so many of his comments were for what’s going on with the Left’s wilful cooperation with Hamas against Israel.
    Put another way, it explains a lot! I am going to repost Sayet’s video, along with some of the pro-Hamas ones in Canada of late.
    And finally, you were correct in your conclusion that I am sincerely trying to find a a plausible explanation for the sickness that is the Left today.

  13. Khadr’s trial is next week. If he’s found guilty, problem solved. The US military does not, as a rule, bow to political pressure from Canada.

  14. Ezra, on the anti-Semitic rally in Toronto:
    “Look at the faces of the young men (and some of the young women). They’re acting up. They’re in Canada, and they know it’s a tolerant, easy-going, multi-ethnic country. Most of them probably work or study in environments where there is some peer pressure to behave — to be polite; to be moderate; certainly to limit one’s expressions of bigotry, whether in the form of flying a terrorist flag, or in the form of calling for the death of a Jewish child.
    “But, together, in the face (literally, in the face!) of police, all of these socially transgressive behaviours are being tried out.
    “And there’s no push-back.
    “There’s no negative reaction.
    (…)
    “What lessons are being learned?
    “Easy — it’s what James Q. Wilson taught us. It’s okay to break those windows — flying terrorist flags, holding mass anti-Semitic rallies, calling for death to Jews, marching in camouflage and face masks. That’s a pretty big window that was broken without anyone shouting “stop”.
    “You can see what some of the protesters are thinking. They’re acting up. They’re behaving badly. They’re doing things they hadn’t done before, at least in Canada. And now that they’re doing it, and testing limits, and breaking social boundaries — nothing. No reaction.
    “No reaction from the police who were there, no reaction even to the death threats, even to the criminal flag.
    “No reaction from the media — other than generous reportage of the protest.”

  15. “The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science. Many sources of data which provide our knowledge base of long-term climate change indicate that the warm, twelve thousand year-long Holocene period will rather soon be coming to an end, and then the earth will return to Ice Age conditions for the next 100,000 years.
    “Ice cores, ocean sediment cores, the geologic record, and studies of ancient plant and animal populations all demonstrate a regular cyclic pattern of Ice Age glacial maximums which each last about 100,000 years, separated by intervening warm interglacials, each lasting about 12,000 years.
    “Most of the long-term climate data collected from various sources also shows a strong correlation with the three astronomical cycles which are together known as the Milankovich cycles. The three Milankovich cycles include the tilt of the earth, which varies over a 41,000 year period; the shape of the earth’s orbit, which changes over a period of 100,000 years; and the Precession of the Equinoxes, also known as the earth’s ‘wobble’, which gradually rotates the direction of the earth’s axis over a period of 26,000 years. According to the Milankovich theory of Ice Age causation, these three astronomical cycles, each of which effects the amount of solar radiation which reaches the earth, act together to produce the cycle of cold Ice Age maximums and warm interglacials.”

    “In Fort Lauderdale, Palestinian supporters sneer at Jews, “You need a big oven, that’s what you need!”
    “In Amsterdam, the crowd shouts, “Hamas, Hamas! Jews to the gas!”
    “In Paris, the state-owned TV network France-2 broadcasts film of dozens of dead Palestinians killed in an Israeli air raid on New Year’s Day. The channel subsequently admits that, in fact, the footage is not from January 1st 2009 but from 2005, and, while the corpses are certainly Palestinian, they were killed when a truck loaded with Hamas explosives detonated prematurely while leaving the Jabaliya refugee camp in another of those unfortunate work-related accidents to which Gaza is sadly prone. Conceding that the Palestinians supposedly killed by Israel were, alas, killed by Hamas, France-2 says the footage was broadcast ‘accidentally.'”
    “In Toulouse, a synagogue is firebombed; in Bordeaux, two kosher butchers are attacked; at the Auber RER train station, a Jewish man is savagely assaulted by 20 youths taunting, ‘Palestine will kill the Jews;’ in Villiers-le-Bel, a Jewish schoolgirl is brutally beaten by a gang jeering, ‘Jews must die.’
    “In Helsingborg, the congregation at a Swedish synagogue takes shelter as a window is broken and burning cloths thrown in; in Odense, principal Olav Nielsen announces that he will no longer admit Jewish children to the local school after a Dane of Lebanese extraction goes to the shopping mall and shoots two men working at the Dead Sea Products store; in Brussels, a Molotov cocktail is hurled at a Belgian synagogue; in Antwerp, lit rags are pushed through the mail flap of a Jewish home; and, across the Channel, “youths” attempt to burn the Brondesbury Park Synagogue.”
    (…)
    “But why worry about European Muslims? The European political and media class essentially shares the same view of the situation — to the point where state TV stations are broadcasting fake Israeli ‘war crimes.’ As I always say, the ‘oldest hatred’ didn’t get that way without an ability to adapt….”

    Ezra sure isn’t talking about the public school system in this country. A lot of these kids learn early—and often—that acting out will have few, if any, negative consequences. Teachers are supposed to “be nice” to the kids at all times. Restrain them in any way physically, even if they’re wilfully disregarding a directive—whoops: request—and the teacher’s in trouble.
    Although the full blown verbal invective hasn’t yet appeared in these kids’ bag of tricks while at school, the seeds of it are there. I’ve found that many Muslim kids—many have dark skin too—are more than willing to push the limits, as well as play the religion/race card: hey, it works! They’ve learned their lessons well—and so have their parents: teachers have been completely abandoned by administration and the kids can be about as subversive as they dare: our schools are fertile breeding grounds for the sabotage of our country we see on this video and others like it. Here. In Canada. On our streets. I’m not making this up.

  22. Greg Weston in the Sun…:
    One week before Canadians went to the polls last fall, Stephen Harper cleverly reacted to the then accelerating stock market meltdown as “probably some great buying opportunities.”
    Most of those smart enough to take stock tips from a politician in the middle of an election campaign would have watched their stock portfolios evaporate even more in the weeks that followed the PM’s cry to buy.
    Aside from showing Harper’s sensitive side to all those losing their retirement savings, the incident underscored just how far the Conservatives have been willing to go to hide the ugly truth about the Canadian economy.
    All through the election, the Conservative message on the stump was: Don’t worry; be happy.
    Today, the same government gives every indication of being in full panic.
    Canadians who voted Conservative just a few months ago had every reason to believe they were casting their ballots for fiscal prudence and a commitment to balanced budgets.
    At the same time, the poorly explained Liberal spending plans clearly scared off voters afraid of the country’s being dragged back into a sea of red ink.
    What did we get?
    Two weeks from today, the Harper government will unveil a federal budget likely to ring up a whopping deficit sure to make even the worst Liberal spending promises look like the work of tightwads.
    Various media reports and our own conversations with government insiders of late suggest the Conservatives are preparing to turn a surplus into a deficit of up to $40 billion.
    For the record, that is more than $2,000 of new debt for every taxpaying citizen in the country — more precisely, for our kids who will pay it off.

Only last year did Montreal pay off the final instalment of its Olympic debt — more than 30 years after the event. And as details of Vancouver’s fiscal fiasco for hosting the 2010 Winter Games trickle out, it’s easy to see how that city’s taxpayers could still be paying in 2040.”

  26. RAND Corporation, Understanding Iran
    Iran remains among the most poorly understood countries in the world and, for most Americans, terra incognita. A small community of American analysts in the government, academia, and the country’s think tanks is, of course, working on Iran, but the overwhelming majority of them have never been to Iran or have visited only briefly. The consequences of this unfamiliarity have been distinctly negative for American policy, pushing most analyses toward a highly reductionist view. This monograph, the result of a workshop and the authors’ own experience and analysis, is a concise, accessible handbook on the Islamic Republic for U.S. policymakers…

After Hamas lost an estimated 60 percent of its weapons stocks to Israeli bombardments, Iran enlisted Somali pirates to step up the flow of smuggled hardware to Gaza.

    “Editor of the Egyptian Government Daily: Hamas, Syria, Iran – The New Axis of Evil
    The editor of the Egyptian government daily Al-Gumhouriyya, Muhammad ‘Ali Ibrahim, who is also an Egyptian MP, wrote a series for the paper titled “Hamas, Damascus, Iran – The New Axis of Evil.” In the series, he criticized Hamas, Syria, and Iran for their position vis-à-vis Gaza and the opening of the Rafah crossing. Ibrahim stated that Iran and Syria had conspired to keep the Palestinian problem unresolved and to take advantage of it to promote their interests in the region, and argued that Hamas was a tyrannical religious movement which was, like the Nazis in mid-20th-century Europe, pushing its people towards catastrophe by preferring Syria’s and Iran’s interests to those of the Palestinians.
    Also in his articles, Ibrahim came out against Qatar, accusing it of sympathizing with the Iran-Syria axis and of airing anti-Egyptian programs on the Qatari TV channel Al-Jazeera. A few days later, the editor of the Egyptian weekly Roz Al-Yousef , ‘Abdallah Kamal, wrote in a similar vein. Both editors called Qatar hypocritical for criticizing Egyptian policy while at the same time attempting to forge ties with Israel and the U.S.

    Police believe a small number of activists tried to hijack the demonstration and turn it into a riot.
    Shop windows were smashed and police pelted with bricks and bottles by masked youths near the embassy in Kensington during the largest demonstration against Israel’s military action. Protesters smashed up a police van before torching an Israeli flag.
