It’s a limited release but it appears due to popularity more dates are becoming more available.

Yes, you’re right Connie.
I listened to/watched Glenn Beck tonight, who is a friend of D’Souza’s and he said many Conservative Documentaries are trying to get aired/attention and the best thing to do is show our support in ticket sales and hopefully we’ll see more of them on the Big Screen! :)

Missing Man Setting

“The Empty Chair”

By Captain Carroll “Lex” Lefon, USN (ret), on December 21st, 2004

“In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture.The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a white linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is white symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER.”

Agreed, Freddie was a lost cause, but had emense talent and surprisingly he was more conservastive than most of the Hollywood rockers despite his stage persona. Had he been around in 2010, I speculate he'd have played Rush Limbaugh's wedding with Sir Elton just to rock the cynics.

Heehee! Doncha just love it? :) Good evening!

[Publius]

The piece is Dvorak’s “Carnival Overture”, which is one of the loudest pieces ever written. I heard it done live in L.A. by Zubin Mehta back in the late Seventies, and my ears were ringing.

[Publius]

In 1835, Frederic Chopin made one his greatest errors of musical judgment. He placed in his desk drawer one of his greatest and most popular pieces, a genuine masterpiece. The problem was that it sounded a bit too much like a piece by Ignaz Moscheles, a composer now forgotten. Fred dedicated it to Julian Fontana, who published it against Chopin’s wishes.

In 1960, a second version of this piece showed up, indicating that near the end of his life, he rethought the piece. There are changes in rhythm, and the end is drastically abridged, making a tighter piece. This second version was given to one of his students as a gift with the intent that it would never see the light of day.

I’m posting both versions so you can hear the differences.

If the middle section sounds familiar, it was turned into a popular song in 1917, “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows”.

Chopin: Fantasie-Impromptu in C# minor, Op. 66 (first version) (Horowitz)

Chopin: Fantasie-Impromptu in C# minor, Op. 66 (final version) (Rubinstein)
