Although he denies being a Cylon

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2009/06/although-he-denies-being-cylon.html

December 5, 2008

Although he defiantly denies being a Cylon, or that he knows anything about Hera Agathon, the 12 Colonies, or Renoir; Kevin Dayhoff claims to know a great deal about the “first Cylon War,” only because he is an economic historian.

Nonetheless, he bids you a warm welcome to the machine.

He has been known to have a great deal of affection for toasters, and possesses and unblinking eye, yet he refuses to shed a teardrop or be a writer that is dissolved, or be boxed-in about likes and dislikes; and has a certain fondness for Betty Blue, Easter Eggs and thinks Beatrice Dalle is pretty killer.

Known to be synchronized in his own head, ten years after, 50,000 miles beneath his brain, he seems to enjoy extending upon his immediate environment a projection of his day dreams which he claims will change the appearance of his immediate environment.

Nevertheless, at the end of a long day, it does appear that some deterioration seems to result in his appearance, which causes some folks to wonder…

And that’s the final scene as the white cat asks “Are you writing?”

This Day in History: Workers assemble first Corvette in Flint, Michigan

Labels: Business Auto Corvette, Business Auto Industry, History This Day in History

Welcome to the THIS DAY IN HISTORY newsletter from History.com

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Advertisement ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brought to you by the Hyundai Genesis sedan, 2009 North American Car of the Year. http://clk.atdmt.com/IWC/go/114825739/direct/01/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

June 28: General Interest
1953 : Workers assemble first Corvette in Flint, Michigan

On this day in 1953, workers at a Chevrolet plant in Flint, Michigan, assemble the first Corvette, a two-seater sports car that would become an American icon. The first completed production car rolled off the assembly line two days later, one of just 300 Corvettes made that year.

The idea for the Corvette originated with General Motors' pioneering designer Harley J. Earl, who in 1951 began developing plans for a low-cost American sports car that could compete with Europe’s MGs, Jaguars and Ferraris. The project was eventually code-named "Opel." In January 1953, GM debuted the Corvette concept car at its Motorama auto show at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. It featured a fiberglass body and a six-cylinder engine and according to GM, was named for the "trim, fleet naval vessel that performed heroic escort and patrol duties during World War II." The Corvette was a big hit with the public at Motorama and GM soon put the roadster into production.

On June 30, 1953, the first Corvette came off the production line in Flint. It was hand-assembled and featured a Polo White exterior and red interior, two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, a wraparound windshield, whitewall tires and detachable plastic curtains instead of side windows. The earliest Corvettes were designed to be opened from the inside and lacked exterior door handles. Other components included a clock, cigarette lighter and red warning light that activated when the parking brake was applied--a new feature at the time. The car carried an initial price tag of $3,490 and could go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 11 or 12 seconds, then considered a fairly average speed.

In 1954, the Corvette went into mass production at a Chevy plant in St. Louis, Missouri. Sales were lackluster in the beginning and GM considered discontinuing the line. However, rival company Ford had introduced the two-seater Thunderbird around the same time and GM did not want to be seen bowing to the competition. Another critical development in the Corvette's survival came in 1955, when it was equipped with the more powerful V-8 engine. Its performance and appeal steadily improved after that and it went on to earn the nickname "America's sports car" and become ingrained in pop culture through multiple references in movies, television and music.

Mark Sanford – Don’t Cry for me Argentina

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrx5Ve7y0xM

Lyrics to Don't Cry For Me Argentina (Evita) :
It won't be easy
You'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love
After ll that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see
Is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressd up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it too

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions
They promise to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said to much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do
Is look at me to know
That every word is true

'Year without summer' killed crops ... and created a monster

Published June 21, 2009 by Carroll Eagle, Westminster Eagle

It's halfway through June, and for those of us who love Maryland's melting heat and humidity, many are wondering — where is summer?

For me, though, thoughts turn to the birth of Frankenstein.

First things first. In 1816, there really was a "year without summer." Carol Lee, in her book, "Legacy of the Land," explains that the year without summer caused quite a bit of hardship in Carroll County. "Farmers in Maryland and elsewhere would remember 1816 as ... 'eighteen hundred and starve-to-death.' " According to Lee, there were freezing temperatures well into June.

What caused the year without summer? According to a July 2002 article in Smithsonian magazine, "Blast from the Past," by Robert Evans, the agricultural and economic catastrophe of 1816 was a volcanic winter, caused by the eruptions of Mount Tambora on the island of Sumbawa, in what we now know as Indonesia, April 5-15, 1815.

... village folk that it's not a bad idea to keep a torch handy on these cool summer nights.

Of the many reckonings that black people of honest political consciousness must endure, the appointment with black slavery is the most agonizing. I don't mean the appointment with the notion of white people as the enslavers of our ancestors, but the appointment with our African ancestors as brokers.

I think, when you're in your intellectual infancy, myth keeps your sane. When I was young I believed, like a lot of us at that time, that my people had been kidnapped out of Africa by malicious racist whites. Said whites then turned and subjugated and colonized the cradle of all men. It was a comforting thought which placed me and mine at the center of a grand heroic odyssey. We were deposed kings and queens robbed of our rightful throne by acquisitive merchants of human flesh. By that measures we were not victims, but deposed nobles--in fact and in spirit.

The assemblage of this website is from multiple sources – and-or a result of my original compilation that took decades to put together many years ago - all of which I have been very careful to cite. That said - any and all mistakes that may appear on this website are my fault and mine alone.

Because I really enjoy and appreciate collaborative art, every reasonable effort has been made to trace the owners of copyright materials on this website, but in some instances this has proven impossible.

I will be glad to receive information leading to more complete acknowledgments; in the meantime please accept my apologies for any omissions.”

I have spent my entire in public service as an artist, writer, and an elected or appointed government official. I have created intellectual property all my life. I realize that working hard does not indemnify oneself from criticism from those who would rather criticize than do the hard work – or be correct.

If anyone feels there is any breach of copyright, this is not my intent - so please notify me so I can correct the error. I simply want to put together an informative website.

I hope that you get value out of this work.

Kevin Dayhoff Art http://www.kevindayhoff.com/ (http://kevindayhoffart.blogspot.com/): The mindless ramblings of a freelance journalist and artist formerly known as mayor. A mild mannered vacuous unemployable college drop out; political novice, hilltop hillbilly farmer artist with no leadership skills and decades of unaccounted for time; fighting off the forces of poverty, the intellectually stunted and the artistically disinclined.
