Links

Anime

• Outside the Uni Anime My very own anime review page. Exclusive reviews and links to my reviews in the Anime Cafe Parents' Guide to Anime. Image galleries may be forthcoming.
• Anime Cafe A good site for anime reviews. Also has a lively bulletin-board style forum for otaku to discuss anime and (sometimes only marginally) related topics.
• Anime Web Turnpike A great source of links to anything and everything about anime on the web.

Cooking

• Epicurious.com Website run by Bon Appetit and incorporating the content from the now defunct Gourmet Magazine. Just about the only recipe site you'll ever need. Before the web, when I used to take magazines, my family got Gourmet. The new editor maimed it, taking it down from the glory days of the 1980's, and the market put it out of its misery. (Say whatever you want about "greed" and the politics of the day, the 1980's, when everyone wanted to imitate the old rich--that's what "yuppie-ism" was--was a high water-mark for haute cuisine, classic-styled clothing, and production values in consumer goods.)

News and Politics

• The Briefing Room Up and coming successor as America's top conservative news discussion forum to my former long-time favorite, FreeRepublic.com, whose owner has drunk the nativist kool-aid and started banning posters who recognize that the nomination of Donald Trump is not in the interests of either the GOP or the conservative movement and that his election would not be helpful to either liberty or America's national interest broadly construed.
• BBC News Does this need any explanation?
• Economist.com Back when I subscribed to lots of magazines, The Economist was the only news magazine I took. Now thanks to a gift from my wife, I'm a subscriber again. The very pragmatic European, but generally pro-American, outlook it provides is a nice balance to the American liberal media and American talk-radio, both of which tend to be a bit narcissistic.

Religion

• Romanity.org Website of the late Fr. John Romanides (Memory eternal! Memory eternal! Memory eternal!). If you grew up in America, it's probably the case that everything you know about Church history and the Middle Ages is false. (Well, not quite, but most of the basic suppositions are.) Visit this site to find out why.
• The Orthodox Christian Foundation useful links to other Orthodox sites and edifying reading.
• Eighth Day Books On Line The website of Wichita Kansas's jewel of a bookstore, with probably the best selection in the US of Orthodox Christian books under one roof.
• The Antiochian Archdiocese homepage for the Self-Ruled North American exarchate of the Patriarchate of Antioch, the Archdiocese which I serve as a subdeacon.
• The Orthodox Church in America homepage of the (autocephalous) Orthodox Church of America.
• The Greek Archdiocese homepage for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, the North American exarchate of the Patriarch of Constantinople. Includes links to the Orthodox World News.
• ROCOR homepage of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. Two on-line publications of this fervently traditional Orthodox jurisdiction can be found at Orthodox America and The Orthodox Family (back- issues only).

Miscellany

• If, contrary to Sean Cubitt's claim, you've been jiving to Walther van der Vogelweide's medieval Palestinalied, and want to know the lyrics in English instead of Middle High German, I finally tracked down a translation: Partial translation of Walter van der Vogelweide's Palestinalied (J.W. Thomas, translator) with comments on which stanzas performed by various neo-medieval and goth bands.

Who writes this junk anyway?
