Worth repeating - June 14, 1995 Ubiquitous 'mean streets' are journalists' freeways By MIKE ROYKO

Worth repeating - June 14, 1995 Ubiquitous 'mean streets' are journalists' freeways By MIKE ROYKO

June 14, 1995 Ubiquitous 'mean streets' are journalists' freeways By MIKE ROYKO http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1995-06-14/news/1995165177_1_streets-newsday-new-york


America's streets are in terrible shape. And I'm not talking about potholes, busted curbs or blinky street lights.

No, the problem is that so many of our streets are really mean. This meanness is sweeping the country and spreading to foreign lands.

I made this discovery recently after hearing a TV war correspondent refer to snipers shooting people on "the mean streets of Sarajevo."

It seemed to me that I had read or heard the phrase "mean streets" before.

Using a computer service, I searched for the words "mean streets" in dozens of newspapers.

The search covered only the first five months of this year. But the results were frightening. Here are just a few of the mean streets that were found.

In the end, the Windows 10 upgrade failed. No surprise here.



Update: One Win 10 upgrade fail. One success. Fail probably due to a drive failure... On a different computer, the success is working great.

Update 2 August 5, 2015: Two successes. One Win 10 upgrade fail. One success. Fail probably due to a drive failure... On a different computers, the successes are working great.

A friend suggested, “Get an Apple.” I have an Apple and I was a pathetic Apple immigrant. Threw my hands up the air and went back to PC. But Caroline gets along with the Apple just great. Me, not so much. In the end, I gotta get my work finished... My editors do not care what I use to write stories - they just care that I get them written.

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. Find it here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2345120/Chainmail-guinea-pig-outfit-set-sell-24-000-extreme-animal-lovers-spark-eBay-bidding-war.html

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.

Mooses Come Walking by Arlo Guthrie

Mooses Come Walking

by Arlo Guthrie

Mooses come walking over the hill
Mooses come walking, they rarely stand still
When mooses come walking they go where they will
When mooses come walking over the hill

Mooses look into your window at night
They look to the left and they look to the right
The mooses are smiling, they think it's a zoo
And that's why the mooses like looking at you

So, if you see mooses while lying in bed
It's best to just stay there pretending you're dead
The mooses will leave and you'll get the thrill
Of seeing the mooses go over the hill


20090808 Mooses Come Walking by Arlo Guthrie

The 10 Words You Should Never Use In Your LinkedIn Profile | Fast Company | Business + Innovation

The 10 Words You Should Never Use In Your LinkedIn Profile | Fast Company | Business + Innovation:

SURE, YOU MAY BE MOTIVATED, PASSIONATE, AND CREATIVE, BUT THESE BUZZWORDS JUST MAKE YOU SOUND LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

When you’re describing your experience and applying for a job do you let potential employers know that you’re motivated? Nice word—but everyone else uses it, too. "Motivated," in fact, is the most overused buzzword on LinkedIn profiles, followed up by "passionate" and "creative."
Why are so many of us motivated, passionate and creative? These words are easy, says Catherine Fisher, senior director of corporate communications for LinkedIn. "People are looking to describe who they are, and they probably understand that hiring managers would want to look for a motivated, creative and passionate individual," she says. "I would stay away from these buzzwords, though, because you sound like everyone else. These words almost lose their meaning the more that people use them."


But don’t go running for the thesaurus: Writing a compelling LinkedIn profile isn’t a lesson in synonyms (like "inspired," "excited" or even "actuated"). Fisher says pictures speak louder than adjective-laden summaries.
"Instead of saying you’re motivated, show proof," she says. "Upload samples of your work and say, ‘These are campaigns I worked on that I’m excited about.’ That translates into being motivated more than simply using the word."

4 Gmail Hacks That Will Change The Way You Work | Fast Company | Business + Innovation:

IF OPENING YOUR INBOX GIVES YOU A PANIC ATTACK, TRY THESE SIMPLE MOVES TO MAKE GMAIL FEEL MORE MANAGEABLE.

BY MADISON FELLER, LEVO LEAGUE


I’ll be honest—I’ve had mixed feelings about Gmail. Sometimes it’s fantastic, like when my best friend and I send each other cool links all morning while simultaneously talking on Gchat. But other times, as I’m watching my inbox fill up at the speed of light, it can just be overwhelming. Gmail and I have finally come to a mutually respectful relationship (think Kanye’s post-VMA apology to T-Swift), but it’s been a long road. These four hacks have paved the way, and once you’ve got them down, I promise Gmail will feel like a whole new ball game...

"The Groaners!
You know ‘em. You love ‘em. But can’t we live without ‘em? Groaners are those horrible, overused, hackneyed phrases that turn news copy into boring, “same old, same old” stuff. With your help, I’ve collected some of the worst offenders (Note: when you’ve finished “groaning” be sure to head over to The Blog for fresh, guaranteed Groaner-free articles about the news, and the people who report it!)"
