The Great Guinea Pig Uprising – when guinea pigs attack.



The Great Guinea Pig Uprising – when guinea pigs attack.

August 29, 2007 from writing book #7 “Boston: Edward Hooper, Poet of the Ordinary – A stranger in a world he never made...” Kevin Dayhoff

So now that I have the title, I just need to develop a plot and characters.

I should probable consult and collaborate with the Scotts, they have that large farming operation just south of Westminster. Karen and Harold Scott, Lindsey and Shannon.

Maybe a subplot might be: Ephesians 6:10-18 The Whole Armor of God

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— Ephesians 6: 10-18

Oh, the image comes from an article in the www.dailymail.co.uk a number of years ago…. Chainmail guinea pig outfit set to sell for over $24,000 as . Trendsetter: An unexpected bidding war has erupted on eBay over this chainmail guinea pig outfit… The article is from June 20, 2013 and is, well, hysterical.

For whatever reason, recently several folks have asked where they may find my essays on Edward Hopper.  There are two.  One may be found in The Tentacle here: Edward Hopper: Poet of the ordinary

And another was posted here: Originally posted September 10, 2007

Kevin E. Dayhoff

Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks," 1942, oil on canvas, depicts a voyeuristic portrayal of ambiguous urban alienation and impersonalization as three customers and a soda jerk spend time together in the harsh glare of artificial light in the middle of the night.

The voyeuristic stark world of American Scene realist artist Edward Hopper was recently displayed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

August 15, 2007


20090706 sdosm 20070905 Edward Hopper

There is a certain unexplainable enigma that draws folks back again and again to ponder the mysteries of Edward Hopper's "American Scene" paintings.

Perhaps it is Hopper's peculiar way of depicting the stark existence of the human condition in such a simple "language" which begs for questions ... yet offers no answers.

Eagle Archive: Good riddance to short, dark, gray, cold and dreary month of February http://tinyurl.com/ackwtma






T.S. Eliot wrote in the poem, "The Waste Land," published in November of 1922, that "April is the cruelest month."

I could not disagree more.

The month of February is a horrible joke foisted upon us. This, in spite of the fact that Feb. 24, St. Matthias Day, is, by tradition, understood to be the luckiest day of the year.

According to research by the Historical Society of Carroll County, "The Jan. 27, 1922, issue of the Union Bridge Pilot newspaper mentioned St. Matthias Day, saying: 'Another bit of old weather lore comes February 24, St. Matthias day. According to the old saying: 'If he finds ice, he'll break it. If he finds none, he'll make it.'" …

Saint Matthias is a pretty mysterious character in the Bible. He is only mentioned twice — in Acts 1:21-22 and Acts 1: 26. In those passages, it is noted that following the Ascension of Christ, 120 disciples were assembled by Peter to choose a replacement for Judas. Two were nominated for consideration, Joseph Barsabbas, also known as Justus, and Matthias.

The choice between the two was determined by the luck of the draw. Acts 1: 26 says, "And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias."

His name is never mentioned again in the New Testament, even though he was named the twelfth disciple.

Anyway, when it comes to weather in the month of February, we are not as lucky as Matthias… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0303-20130305,0,4412485.story

Masterworks Chorale collaborates with the Columbia Orchestra


http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/contributed/news/masterworks-chorale-collaborates-with-the-columbia-orchestra/article_a56dd1d0-7994-11e0-965a-0017a4aa4fba.html


Masterworks Chorale of Carroll County, an 80-member, all-volunteer choir is busily preparing the finishing touches on a very special Spring Concert.  For the first time since 2008 when Ode to Joy, the choral finale to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was performed, Masterworks is again collaborating with the Columbia Orchestra in presenting Franz Josef Haydn's oratorio, The Creation.
Under the baton of Masterworks Chorale's Artistic Director, Dr. Margaret Boudreaux and accompanied by organist,Ted Dix, Masterworks will also perform Dr. Boudreaux's own composition, Consolation, along with American composer, Frank Ticheli's Earth Song, two selections from Handel's Messiah, plus Thanks be to God from Mendelssohn's Elijah.
Isaac Watt's paraphrase of Psalm 19:2 provides the text for Consolation, and espresses awe and gratitude for each new day.  In Earth Song, Ticheli beautifully expresses our desire to experience the creation as we meet each day anew, in ways that honor the light of peace instead of the darkness of war.  The two excerpts from Messiah (the first and final choruses from Part I of that work) and the final chorus from Part I of Elijah set the stage for the featured work, The Creation...  http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/contributed/news/masterworks-chorale-collaborates-with-the-columbia-orchestra/article_a56dd1d0-7994-11e0-965a-0017a4aa4fba.html ...
The performance will be on Sunday, May 15, 2001 at 7:00 p.m. in Baker Memorial Chapel ("Big" Baker), McDaniel College, Westminster.  A reception will immediately follow the concert.


Tickets are $12 at the door; $10 in advance and are available at the Carroll Arts Center, 91 W. Main Street, Westminster; from any Chorale member; or online at www.masterworksofcc.org.  As always, children and all students w/ID are admitted FREE.

A connection of Biblical proportions and a few presidential pet projects

A connection of Biblical proportions and a few presidential pet projects

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff Posted on http://www.explorecarroll.com/ 1/09/09

I'm excited about the upcoming inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama. It is quite a testimony to our great country to have overcome the yoke of history to see an African-American take a turn in the Oval Office.

I'm particularly curious about the Bible that Mr. Obama has decided to use for his swearing-in ceremony.

According to the New York Times politics blog, The Caucus, Obama "will be sworn into office with the same Bible that Abraham Lincoln used for his first inauguration in 1861."

The "move further extends the parallels that Mr. Obama has drawn with Lincoln since he announced his candidacy for president in February 2007 in Springfield, Ill."

I've been curious ever since I first became aware of Obama's preoccupation with President Abraham Lincoln. Of course, who would not want history to reflect upon one's term of office as well as that of President Lincoln?

However, students of presidential history are aware that of all presidents, Lincoln may have had some of the most difficult years in the White House.

His entire tenure was marked with incredible national challenge and personal tragedy. While Lincoln was in office, he may have had one of the worst approval ratings in history.

In David Elton Trueblood's masterful 1973 portrait of Lincoln, "Abraham Lincoln: Theologian of American Anguish," the low esteem in which he was judged was driven home immediately in chapter one:

"In an editorial The Baltimore Sun said, 'Had we any respect for Mr. Lincoln, official or personal, as a man, or as President-elect of the United States, his career and speeches on his way to the seat of government would have cruelly impaired it.'"

Carl Sandburg's encyclopedic history of President Lincoln calls to our attention that right before Lincoln's renomination for election for his second term, the New York Herald said he was "a joke incarnated, his election a very sorry joke, and the idea that such a man as he should be the President of such a country as this a very ridiculous joke."

Ay caramba. This is but a brief glimpse of the scorn heaped upon President Lincoln while he was in office.

Nevertheless, when history had time to reflect upon Lincoln's accomplishments, it was determined that he was one of our greatest presidents.

Go figure.

I hope that history shines as kindly on President Obama as it has on President Lincoln. I pray for his success.

20080316 The Carroll Sunday Eagle: Palm Sunday 1942 was a time of high snow and higher anxiety by Kevin Dayhoff

Last Sunday’s, March 16th, 2008 Sunday Carroll Eagle column was:

Palm Sunday 1942 was a time of high snow and higher anxiety

03/16/08 by Kevin Dayhoff EAGLE ARCHIVE (806 words)

http://news.mywebpal.com/news_tool_v2.cfm?pnpID=978&NewsID=885695&CategoryID=19662&show=localnews&om=1

Email this story to a friend

Many people have been commenting about how early Easter is this year. In fact, the last time Easter was as early as March 23 was 1913.

(I think they had wooden jelly beans back then.)

But a later Easter doesn't ensure good weather for Holy Week. I wonder how many readers remember the Palm Sunday blizzard of 1942. It was the fifth worse snowstorm in Carroll County history, as folks were greeted by 22 inches of snow on March 29, 1942.

It also included an important "first," as noted in a newspaper article: "Our municipal authorities, for the first time, saw fit to clear the greater portion of Main Street, and some of the important cross streets.

"Whatever the cost, we would say it certainly was an important step. ... The work was done by Thomas, Bennett and Hunter, road contractors, using their large road graders. The removal was rapid and proved to be a most successful method."

That Sunday, just months after America entered World War II, was a time a great anxiety.

One newspaper editorial explained: "1942 will enter in the midst of the (most) destructive war the world has ever known. The picture is a dark one, filled with doubts, uncertainties, a year that will test the mettle of our citizens, our men in service, but there is no doubt that all will stand the test and unite in the defense of our country, our flag and our president."

During that Palm Sunday of 1942, peace on Earth was, unfortunately, not in the minds of all. One fear on the minds of local folks was, "What to do in the event of an air raid?"

At the end of 1941, the "Air Raid Warden for Carroll County," W. Warfield Babylon, published a full newspaper page with detailed instructions as to what to do if the enemy were to launch an air raid on Carroll County.

It was a different time and a different era.

How many of us can remember the "Civil Defense Shelters" scattered through the county? How many had air raid shelters in the basement of their homes?

The air raid instructions began with advice that, alas, could be useful even today:

"Above all, keep cool.

Don't lose your head.

Do not crowd the streets, avoid chaos, prevent disorder and havoc.

You can fool the enemy.

If planes come over, stay where you are.

Don't phone unnecessarily.

The chance you will be hit is small."

Of course, the anxieties of the 1940s have been replaced by the anxieties of 2008, including rapidly increasing prices for essentials, taxes and concerns about the economy.

Yet one challenge Carroll did not have in 1942 was debt. An historical reference to a Jan. 2, 1942 article in The Sun touted that the Board of County Commissioners "paid off $25,000 to make Carroll County debt-free.

"Carroll County was probably the only county in Maryland in 1942 that could claim such a distinction. With a tax rate of 90 cents on $100, Carroll had the lowest tax in the state with the exception of Queen Anne's County. Two-thirds of tax money collected from county residents went to fund schools."

***

Today, Palm Sunday is here and many of us can't wait for spring.

Christians celebrate today as "Passion Sunday" -- the day that Jesus entered Jerusalem to a path covered with palm branches. The crowds that greeted him also waved palm branches. (One can read all about it in Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44; and John 12:12-19.)

Palm Sunday can appear anywhere on the calendar from March 15 to April 18. If you're like me, you wonder why the dates vary from year to year.

It's because Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the "Paschal Full Moon." To make it even more a mystery, the Paschal Full Moon is not an astronomical event, but a date calculated by folks with a huge Excel spreadsheet in 325 AD.

Really.

Of course, I don't bother remembering when Palm Sunday and Easter occur on the calendar -- I just ask my wife. Women have mysterious powers that allow them to know these things.

Hope springs eternal

Heading back to 1942 again, Bob Hope hosted the 14th Academy Awards at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles. Best picture was, "How Green Was My Valley."

OK, movie buffs, for this week's Sunday Carroll Eagle coffee mug, what was the other famous movie from 1941, often heralded as perhaps the best film ever made -- yet it did not win the Academy Award for best picture? Here's a hint: In the spirit of spring, think of the word, "Rosebud."

Think you know? Send me an e-mail at kdayhoff@carr.org and we'll draw one winner from the magic hat.

Heck, I'll even fill the mug with jelly beans. (Not the wooden kind.)
