From here:

NASA’s Kepler space telescope watches a star, Kepler-11. The star appears to blink in a pattern. It dims like clockwork as six “hands” of differing size orbit around it at different rates. Kepler-11 dims when its six orbiting planets cross between it and the Kepler spacecraft. Calculations show the planets are nested in circular orbits that lie in almost the same plane.

Simply hilarious. This is good evidence that the Democrats are losing their minds as they head into the coming electoral disaster.

It’s not at all a bad performance, especially for a budget recording. The cadenza of the first movement is particularly good. Now, I’ve been going absolutely mad trying to find out the author of the cadenza, but so far, I’ve had no luck.

Here it is:

This marvelous cadenza clearly has the hallmarks of nineteenth-century romanticism about it—no surprise since this concerto was beloved of performers of that period—and the clever simultaneous quodlibet formed from two of the principal motifs of the concerto indicates contrapuntal skill. Of the composers from that time period that I know of, who are known to have written cadenzas for this piece, I’ve ruled out Brahms, Hummel, Fauré, and Busoni. I have yet to check out Saint-Saëns, who I understand wrote cadenzas for this work also.

Do you know who wrote this cadenza? If you do, I’d love to know.

Can anyone tell me with a straight face that this terror watch list is a good idea?

Never delay a prompting. When you honor a prompting and then stand back a pace, you realize that the Lord gave you the prompting. It makes me feel good that the Lord even knows who I am and knows me well enough to know that if He has an errand to be run and He prompts me to run the errand, the errand will get done. That’s the testimony of my life.
