MCGINNIS, JOHN HATHAWAY (1883–1960). John Hathaway McGinnis, teacher and cultural editor, was born in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania, on December 21, 1883, to Albert and Mary (Hathaway) McGinnis. His father was a professor of classics at various colleges. McGinnis received a B.A. degree in 1904 and a Litt.D. in 1929 from Missouri Valley College, and an M.A. from Columbia University in 1915. He was married in 1916 to Grace Gillett. They had four children. From 1907 till 1914 he was assistant professor of English at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. He was associate professor of English at Southern Methodist University in 1915–16 and professor from 1916 until 1946. He was editor of the Southwest Review from 1924 to 1928 and editor with various colleagues from 1928 to 1942. He was senior editor of the University Press in Dallas (later the SMU Press) from 1937 to 1942 and literary editor of the Sunday book page of the Dallas Morning News from 1916 to 1919 and from 1923 to 1948. McGinnis wrote articles and a few short stories for the Southwest Review and book reviews for the News. He made a great effort to keep his readers informed of current literary developments both in America and abroad. He saw the Southwest as developing economically but feeble intellectually. His great theme was that writers ought to arise in the region, people who could interpret the land and the people, taking into account the geographical, economic, and cultural factors that made the area different from other parts of the United States. He taught a course in the literature of the Southwest and was a friend and admirer of J. Frank Dobie. McGinnis died in Dallas on April 8, 1960.

For any project task, it is unlikely that your estimate of how long it will take will be perfect. So, is it worse to overestimate the time it will take to complete a task or underestimate it?
Cost of overestimation
Overestimation creates the problem that the estimate become self-fulfilling. The task takes longer than it would have done with a more accurate estimate in place. There are two ideas behind this linked to how people behave. Firstly, Student's Syndrome states that people often won't start working until very close to a deadline. Secondly, Parkinson's Law states that work expands to fill the time available. Therefore, if you have a task with overestimated length, the impact is the task might take longer than it 'should' do.
Costs of underestimation
If a task is assumed to take long time than it actually needs, one of two things will happen. Either the task gets done at lower quality, or the task doesn't get done on time and any tasks dependent on it are pushed out.
Which is worse?
Whilst obviously accurate estimates are the best outcome, over-estimation is less bad than underestimation. Underestimation can impact dependencies and the overall quality of the project. Overestimation may be wasteful for the resources on a particular task, but it is less likely to impact other tasks or overall quality.
Of course, a third option following the critical chain methodologies is to consider adding buffers to the schedule to allow for some underestimation at the individual task level.

We have been Cupcake's family for about a year now. When we were getting to know him we discovered he does not purr, nor does he like to "cubble" (cuddle). I told the Cs that we had to give him the reject stamp, so they did.
We didn't really reject him, he's too cute and talkative.

Tables and figures can help you present a large amount of information in a structured, easy-to-read format. Tables and figures are often essential for scientific studies, as they are a way to represent data that has been collected over a long period of time. Placing them in the text is a fairly simple process, though you will need to check out the rules for the particular style guidelines you are using, such as information on the Modern Language Association (MLA) style, Chicago style, or American Psychological Association (APA) style.
Method 1 of 4:
Tables and Figures Basics
1Decide whether or not the table and figure is really necessary. Make sure your table or figure is really needed. Does it add anything to the paper? Does it make the information clearer? If it is just taking up space, delete it.
2Make sure the table or figure stands alone with its caption and title. The reader should not need to refer to the text to understand it.
- Place any tables or figures as close to the relevant text as possible. Always introduce the graph or figure in the text.
3Keep it stylistically simple. Graphs, tables, and figures do not need to be overly complicated to be effective. In fact, they are probably more effective with a simple design, as the date or information is the star of the show.
4Use appendices. Use appendices for related information that does not directly correspond to the text.
- For instance, if a graph provides population information from the last ten years but you are focusing on the last year primarily, the graph doesn't necessarily need to be in the text.
- Place it at the end of the paper, and reference it as needed.
5Limit your tables and figures to the body of your manuscript. Most of the time, you will place graphs and figures in the main body of the text only, not in the introduction or conclusion.
- That's because your introduction and conclusion provide an overview of what you are saying, not the nitty-gritty details that graphs and figures provide.
Method 2 of 4:
Inserting Tables and Figures in an MLA-Style Essay
1Place the table close to the text that describes it. When referring to it, use the table number: "table 1."
- Double-space all text corresponding to the table, including the reference information and the caption.
- Align the table to the left.
2Number the tables consecutively. The table number goes above the table. The caption goes below the table number.
3Cite the table. If you are pulling the table from another source, place the source information below the table. Use a full reference citation under the table.
- Use the author's name (inverted, followed by a period), the title in italics (period), the location (colon), the publisher (comma), the year (period), and the medium (period)."
- For example: "Red, Jay. Art for Art's Sake. Alabama, Georgia: Art Publishers, 2004. Print."
- Use hanging indention (indent the lines after the first line). You don't need to repeat this information on the reference page.
4Number figures, and label them "Figure" or "Fig." Figures can be any illustration that are not tables, including charts and diagrams.
- Label it underneath, with capitalization: "Figure 1" or "Fig. 1." Right after that (on the same line), write a caption or title to describe it. Follow it with source information if it came from another source.
- Align them the best way for the text. Some illustrations may fit better with text to the left or right, and MLA permits that usage.
Method 3 of 4:
Inserting Tables and Figures in an APA-Style Essay
1Place the table or figure near the paragraph that introduces it. Number the figures and tables separately, with each set using consecutive numbers:
- "Table 1, Figure 1, Figure 2, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Figure 5."
2Keep it simple. Don't make the design overly complicated. Use a sans-serif font. Fonts should be 8 to 14 point.
3Label your table or figure. Place the figure or table number in italics, and then write a title and caption. Both will be in sentence case, meaning only the first word is capitalized. The caption should be a short description of what is in the figure.
- Use a legend to explain any symbols.
4Make sure your table or figure is the correct size. Create figures that are 2 to 3.25 inches (5.1 to 8.3 cm) in width for one column; for two columns, they can be 4.25 to 6.875 inches (10.8 to 17.5 cm).Advertisement
Method 4 of 4:
Inserting Tables and Figures in an Chicago-Style Essay
1Cite your table or figure. If the table comes from another source (meaning you didn't create it) you need to create a source line below the figure. You'll place the word "Sources:" first, then make a regular Chicago reference.
- That is, the author's name (inverted), the title in italics (period), the city and state of publication (colon), the publisher (comma), and the year (period).
- For example: "Red, Jay. Art for Art's Sake. Alabama, Georgia: Art Publishers, 2004."
- Also include this information on your reference page.
2Number your tables. Number your tables from the beginning of the paper to the end in order; figures should have their own series of consecutive numbers. .
3Describe your table or figure. Create a descriptive title for the table. Write the description in the paragraph before introducing the table. Refer to the table by its number, such as "table 1."Advertisement
Community Q&A
- Tables and figures can help you to simplify information as well as provide visual clues to the reader. Just be sure to not overuse them and to place them as close to the relevant text as possible.Thanks!
- For more information, check out Purdue's Online Writing Lab, or one of the style guidelines: The Chicago Manual of Style, The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, or the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.Thanks!

Contortion By Thunderstorm - Opus II
*NSFW WARNING* The air, magnetized by lightning, swarming with invisible ions, drew them closer, their breathing shallow, almost gasping. Their eyelids flickered open and found themselves gazing at one another and they met swiftly, crushing, their kiss softening and tongues meeting just as quick. Lightening flashed across the sky in flaming streaks sucking electricity into itself. She twined her fingers into the hair at the nape of his neck as he drug her onto his lap. He leaned her back into the post of the porch hard enough to jar them apart and he captured her hands in that instant, pulling and holding them away from him. Kissing and sucking at his lips, she strained against human bounds. She knew that he knew that she loved it and she hated it and that's why she loved it. They struggled and fought, kissing and nipping and sucking. His silky deep voice stilled her as he said, "Little bitch, I'm going to hurt you." She slid her tongue up the tendon of his neck, captured his earlobe between her teeth, and challenged him with her own husky voice, "Bring it." Transformers overloaded and blew out in showering sparks as he turned and slammed them both onto the porch floor, her head and spine cradled by his powerful arms. His eyes reflected the sparks of her own passion and lust, then another bolt of lightning, thunder cracked and rolled, its percussion carrying them into darkness. Pandora's Box was open.

We've announced a pretty big partnership earlier this week with Amazon, but recently we've made another that may not have gotten much buzz. Did you know that only 1 in 4 households have their TV mounted, or secured? I understand that number may not be very important to you, but did you also know that a child visits the ER every 45 minutes for a TV tipping related injury? This is statistic that we've partnered with SANUS to educate our customers on this potential hazard in hopes of lower those startling statistics.
You're welcome to review our official TV Safety page to learn more about this this matter, and our recommendations to keep your home safe! I've also made some other recommendations here in our TV Tipping Prevention Knowledge Base article.

What Issues Should Be Paid Attention To When Cleaning Concrete Mixer ?Writer:Admin Time:15/05/20
Concrete as one of the most important material in engineering construction, concrete mixer is ideal mixing equipment of various kinds of construction site.Relative to settled, crane, mixer maintenance is relatively easier, but also to be reckoned with, perhaps a small detail will directly affect the use of concrete mixer, such as: concrete mixer.
First, the regular maintenance procedures specified projects, maintenance operations, such as cleaning, lubricating, refueling
Second, the mini mobile batching plant before starting first check the controller is good, after the suspension was stirred with water and stones into the cylinder 10 to 15 minutes cleaning, then water out. The operator into the mixing tube cleaning as required, in addition to cutting off power and remove the fuse, the switch box and be locked.
Third, prohibit the use of a sledgehammer beat way to clear the accumulation in the concrete mixer concrete barrel, it can only be removed with a chisel.
Fourth, in the cold season, washing with water after the stationary concrete batching plant work is completed and the mixer drum pumps, water tanks, water put the net in the water, so water pumps, water tanks, water pipes freezing.

Eric Charles Vincent was a petty criminal who was killed in the sinking of the RMS Lusitania on 7 May 1915.
In an alternative timeline in which the Lusitania did not sink, he killed Alexander Fleming in a botched robbery attempt in December 1927 before the biologist discovered penicillin. Without the protection offered by penicillin, Earth fell prey to new strains of meningitis and pneumonia in 1956 and the survivors never developed a space programme. Consequently, the Knights of Velyshaa were not defeated by the Earth Alliance in 3562 as they otherwise would have been. (AUDIO: The Sirens of Time)

Topps will bring Five Star to baseball
By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor
Topps is taking its baseball line truly high-end with one offering to come this year.
How far? MLB will be getting the Five Star treatment.
The high-end line, which debuted in the NFL in 2010 with a $400 suggested retail price per box, included four on-card autographs and one jumbo Relic in every box in its debut football season. Details for the baseball line were not yet disclosed.
While some company officials had previously discounted the idea of such an approach in baseball — there's no Rookie Premiere to obtain autographs in larger quantities without tremendous cost — the company said it is going forward with plans for the line on Tuesday afternoon.
More info to come soon. Take our poll below and tell us what you think in the comments.

QUESTION – Is the 3rd Axle constantly working in a 6×6 AUSTRALIA system?
ANSWER – Yes, the Drive to its Rearmost Diff works "On Demand". Our system operates in full-time bogie-drive, providing dependable user-friendly operation.
This makes our 6×6 the ultimate in safe carriage of Payloads and Towing any kind of Heavy Trailer, especially when called for in the wet or on other slippery surfaces, for example 'Black Ice' on Alpine Roads during Winter.
Your 6×6 vehicle with our advanced Load-sharing/Roll-steering system technology becomes practically "planted" to the road surface, and is the new paradigm in Tow vehicle safety.
QUESTION – Compared with a standard 4×4, do the rear tyres on your 6×6 conversion wear faster than normal ?
ANSWER – This is a valid question. Most 6×6 conversion systems suffer 'Tyre Scrubbing'. A condition where the Rearmost Wheel set is effectively dragged around tight turns.
With bulk traction of the 4 rear wheels under power, and so close together, the answer is yes, for most 6×6 systems anyway… But not ours!
With our conversions, we have no noticeable increase in tyre wear over time.
We're confident this benefit comes from the 'Roll-steer' function our design boasts. As the weight is forced outwardly around a corner (Centrifugal Force and Body Roll), our Suspension subtly steers the Bogie in support of the Front Steer Axle.
The outer two wheels of the Bogie set will spread apart slightly, and the inner two wheels will contract toward each other. This effectively steers it like how a Skateboard does.
6×6 AUSTRALIA'S suspension system is the only one in the world you'll honestly find has integrated 'Roll-steering'.
Ours alleviates the rear tyre wear while other suppliers of 6×6 can't provide this, as it's normally unavoidable when you have such extreme traction with 4 'drive-wheels' so close together under your vehicle.
The fact ours is most easy to use, to maintain, and that it's daily maintenance costs are lower than others (not to mention our purchase price being so much lower), as well as outperforming any competition gives ours the edge over all comers.
As long you take care of your tyres, regularly rotating them and monitoring their pressures, rear tyre wear doesn't noticeably increase with a 6×6 AUSTRALIA conversion.
QUESTION – Can a 6X6 conversion be driven with a standard car licence?
ANSWER – Yes, our 6X6 can be driven on a standard car licence.
You still need to drive it a little like you're driving a small truck though.
Because it is just that, a kind of small semi-trailer. It is capable of carrying more weight, and towing much larger trailers than usual.
Our common conversions usually come in Middleweight configuration (4,495kg GVM & 7,995kg GCM).
We also do various Heavyweight models. These conversions require a heavy vehicle licence to operate (upwards of 5,500kg GVM and more than 8,500kg GCM).
QUESTION – Explain "LOADSHARE" to us?
ANSWER – "Loadshare" is the ability of the Bogie-drive (twin Rear Axles) to work together as a team of four Wheels.
With our system, as opposed to all our competitors, our Bogie-drive Axles are connected through the Suspension's Loadshare Beams (with Coil Springs), Lower-control Rods, and A-Arms.
These components allow each Axle to sense when its fellow Axles are maneuvering or losing traction at all (e.g. over an obstacle).
So the complementary Axle manipulates its Wheels into an optimal position. This means they share the load of the Chassis & Payload weight above them effectively, spreading the force applied by that "Sprung Weight" down through their Wheels into the Road/Track surface.
Every single one of our competitor's systems are grossly ineffective in regard to this important engineering aspect of Bogie-drive (6×6) systems design.
Ask further about the concept of 'LOADSHARE' when you inquire with us, and we'll provide you with more clear understanding on the difference between a '6×6 AUSTRALIA' Bogie-drive system, and any other that dares to compete with us.
When each Axle in a Bogie-drive system doesn't know what their buddy Axle is doing, they think they're alone and so they slip and tramp and behave uncontrollably in an effort to handle the Sprung Weight Load. Ours work in seamless partnership with one other to hold solid and safe traction throughout any and every scenario by sharing the load effectively.
QUESTION- What extension length does it give to the tray?
ANSWER – This depends what you purpose your 6×6 for.
We extend the Chassis by a minimum of 1,000mm to fit our Bogie-drive Suspensions, which allows same for a new tray.
Depending on its purpose, any reasonable length (up to 1,800mm extension) can be added to the Chassis and Tray Bodies.
QUESTION – What are your Warranty Terms/Coverage?
ANSWER – General terms of warranty on our 6×6 conversions are:
-Standard Warranty is for 2month/20,000km from date of completion;
-Standard Warranty covers full Repairs &/or Replacement on any possible faulty Workmanship, or Components that occur within the period set out above;
-These repairs/replacement works are only completed at the 6X6 AUSTRALIA Pty Ltd company headquarters in Coraki, NSW on our 'Back to Base' protocol;
QUESTION – Who does all your custom Bodywork and Spray-painting?
ANSWER – We handle all custom Bodywork and paint refinishing in-house.
With our custom Panel-beating and Bodywork experts on staff, we're capable of working with you and your imagination to find exactly what you require.

QUESTION- Why is everyone who Tows or carries substantial weight buying a 6×6 conversion?
ANSWER – The main reason is SAFETY above and beyond your vehicle's original "Registered safe capabilities".
The article below independently explains this.
(click on this link: https://practicalmotoring.com.au/car-advice/why-a-3500kg-tow-rating-may-not-really-be-a-3500kg-tow-rating/) for independent information on Tow-ratings re: Vehicle GVM/GCM, the Laws around this, and Real World Safety relating to Towing Trailers (and the benefits of our 6×6).
6x6 AUSTRALIA Bogie-drive conversions offer real safety and ease-of-use in Heavy Towing, Payload Carriage, and in general Off-road or Bush/Outback pursuits.
They can now carry loads more, go faraway on exploration adventures, and make it there and then return in one piece to tell of the adventure.
With our 6X6, make it easier to carry and tow more in safety and comfort.
For independent viewpoint on why more people are opting for a '6×6 AUSTRALIA' conversion, read this 'Practical Motoring' online magazine article, focusing on one of the most affordable options of all our different conversions, the Mazda BT50 6×6:
(Link: https://practicalmotoring.com.au/car-reviews/6×6-australia-mazda-bt-50-review-beats-4×4/)
There's no comparison on the global 6×6 conversion market. With our 'Roller-drive' Power-divider (Registered Design) we have become industry leaders in Automotive Drive-line technologies.
This device has found work in the famous 'Zamboni' ice-resurfacing machine, a tractor of sorts used in nearly every indoor ice-skating rink around the world, and known for its traction (vital when working on ice).
Governing the drive force in something with such bulk traction in such a tight proximity between wheels, is the same as how it governs the intense force of drive that regulates the bogie wheels in our 6x6s, which kind of "fight each other", due to their proximity to one another.
Our 6X6, with its constant Twin Axle Bogie-drive setup is what this phenomenally simple little invention was designed for in the beginning.
Our suspension is designed so the heavier the load, the better the 'Roll-steer' function works.
It uses the Payload and its natural physical forces downward into the Road/Track with Gravity and Inertia.
Using these forces to control/manipulate the Suspension to assist vehicle handling, especially at speeds of over 50km/hr, and actually increases stability there.
With fundamental 'Applied Physics' used beautifully throughout its design, our 6×6 Suspension and Driveline offers two complementary systems that work so well at their tasks set out before them, together they are one complex system, and seen as very highly-advanced.
Contact us to quickly discuss what we can do to help serve your needs, and invite you to come and visit us any time to get a real life demonstration.
We'll show you what options best suit your requirements.
Then negotiate a final build price with timeline for commencement / completion with you.
Robust engineering and fabrication allows us to give the Chassis and Suspension a Lifetime Warranty on Components and Workmanship. Power-divider and Drive-line Warranty remains as is, at 12months/20,000km from date of completion.
Nothing compares to 6×6 AUSTRALIA Pty Ltd's Bogie-drive conversions with the Heavy Duty Weight-carrying abilities, the Coil Spring Ride Comfort, the Safety Performance, the Low-maintenance Mechanicals (therefore lower costs), and with affordability and ease-of-use by direct comparison.
Full load-sharing of payload weight to each wheel, with up to 500mm wheel travel (nothing else comes even close to this. see link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsdyD_gfH98).
Ours outperforms all other Bogie-drive suspension systems on Earth.

The Federation of Texas A&M University Mothers' Clubs is a unique organization. As far as we know, Texas A&M is the only university in the United States where student's mothers are organized for the purpose of supporting their children and the university they attend.
Since our founding in 1928, the Federation of Texas A&M University Mothers' Clubs has grown along with Texas A&M University. The Federation now includes approximately 6,650 Aggie Moms who are members of 108 Mothers' Clubs which are organized into twenty geographic Districts across Texas and around the nation.
Our Member Clubs and the overseeing Federation Board are governed by the Federation's Bylaws. The Bylaws were written in 1928 and have been amended through the years, but remain much the same today.
The Federation Board is lead by the Federation's President. In addition to the President, the Board consists of twelve elected Officers and twelve Board Members appointed by the President.
Meet the Federation's Officers
The Federation holds Business Meetings and other events on campus three times a year: in August, January and during Parent's Weekend in April.
Aggie Moms are very proud of the support they give their Aggies. They are especially proud of the financial support they provide the students and Student Organizations of Texas A&M University. During the last Club Year, Aggie Moms' Clubs contributed over $600,000.00 in scholarships and donations to TAMU.

Alves: Barcelona Will Cut Six-Point Difference
Barcelona defender Dani Alves played down the significance of Real Madrid's six-point lead at the top of La Liga, but admitted that there is pressure on the team not to drop more points.
Real continue to set the pace after a 4-1 derby win over Atletico Madrid at the weekend while Barcelona once again struggled away from home, losing 1-0 at Getafe.
The champions, who tackle Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday, have recorded 5-0 and 4-0 wins in their last two home games against Mallorca and Zaragoza respectively.
But away from the Nou Camp they drew their previous game at Athletic Bilbao and scraped 1-0 wins in their two matches before that.
Barca have lacked their usual fluid passing on their travels but perhaps the key difference is in the performances of star man Lionel Messi who has 14 goals to his name at home and just one away.
"At the moment a lot of people are awarding the league already and getting carried away but there is still a long way to go," said Alves.
"As long as it is still possible to win then the championship is alive and this is a challenge which we are enjoying. One of the most important elements to this team is that we never give up," added Alves, who accepts that the first El Clasico on December 10 at the Bernabeu is now a crunch match.
"A nine-point difference -- if we lose at the Bernabeu -- would be tremendous but I am not thinking like that because we are going to bounce back. We will go and compete as we always do.
"Our margin for error is now over and we must get ourselves ready for the challenge. You cannot go from being a fantastic team to being nothing.
"While people tend to be extreme we need to be balanced. We will never change our way of playing due to results, we have a philosophy and if we are to die then we will die with that."
Barcelona's match with Rayo has been brought forward from next month as the Spanish and European champions are involved in the Club World Cup in Japan.
Rayo lost 2-1 to Valencia at the weekend but they have started the season well and although survival is their aim they currently have the European places in their sights.
"This is a special game for any footballer as Barca have a great stadium and they are a great team. It is the kind of match which had to come sooner or later and we will try and perform well," said striker Raul Tamudo.

When I saw the Tina Givens patterns at Market last fall, I was excited at the prospect of sewing them. The look is so different from the children's clothing out there! Just funky and bohemian, not fussy at all.
The reality of sewing the Little Goddess (made with Laura Gunn's Lantern Bloom for Michael Miller) was a little different. The pattern isn't very complex but the directions were sometimes a little vague for me (I later found that Tina has some tutorials on her blog, which surely would have helped).
I love this little applique detail on the back! I used a square of linen left over from another project and fussy cut the heart. It's really a shame that it's on the back because it deserves more attention.
The fit of the dress is rather generous. I finished it up the week I taught sewing camp and had one of my 11-year-old students try it on — and it fit, although definitely too short for a dress. More like a tunic suitable for pairing with leggings. It took nothing at all to get one of the gals at the shop to try it on — a grown woman — and it fit her as a top.
Miss L loves it but I think I'll make her wear a top and leggings under it. But I don't know of another thing I've sewn her that has the potential for so many years of wearing.

October & November are the months of festivals. Starting from Tirupathi Bhramostavam, the mood of festival continues to Ramzan and Diwali. This time, my choice of shopping were towards Jhill Mil and Globus. I'd like to go to lifestyle, but still I have no enough courage to go there 😉 , coz my wallet sweeps 😦 , even I've to give him enough money and allow him to serve the lifetime purpose right in my pocket( heh he..).Jhill Mil, a subsidiary of Kumaran Stores, Chennai's famous silk house. I've got my lovely mom a colorful saree, where I would like to tear the price tag, else she would love to scream over me.Whoop, I can't just do all the gimmicks to escape from things!!! 😉Globus has prices it's items quite high. I would get a thin knitted T-shirt for 500 bucks, where if my dad would screw me if he hears that. Got nice trousers and t-shirts and a cosmetic. But, these Globus fellows are great biz-minded. They had given two watches ( One watch for 3000 bucks ), one fast track goggle. as a free gift. Gosh, I was just thinking how much profit would these fellow earn. I'm damn sure that the price that I've paid for the items I've purchased includes the price for watches and goggles. Because the rule is simple ,
No one does business for free
After a long time long purchase, had a nice lunch at Green Park hotel. With all my hungry stomach that I went inside Green Park, just made me smile when I saw a rack full of lunch. I'm a food lover and like to eat varieties and lot. Having a good dining is always pleasing.

Have you ever tried to make up your mind about something and then found yourself lost in a never-ending argument of pros and cons? Looking for "the right" answer… Where you catch yourself thinking: "On this hand…" and "On the other hand…" until it's all completely out of hand?
And now you're feeling even more lost than when you started. Swamped. Confused.
I know I have.
Yet maybe there's another way through all of this. For if world class thinking theorist Edward de Bono is right, the way you explore an issue is key. In fact, he thinks that:
"If you explore well, a decision makes itself."
(And how handy would that be?)
So what's he actually on about? And how might you be able to try some of it out?
I was lucky enough to join Edward de Bono's workshop at the Mind and Its Potential conference in Sydney recently. In it, he said that he reckons for the last two thousand years or so, we've all been seduced into believing that argument is the best kind of thinking. That someone has to be "right," and someone "wrong." Or that some thought might be "right" or "wrong." That there's a single "truth" that we have to whittle our way down to, as we throw out everything else.
And we've all been thinking and talking and arguing that way without even stopping to consider if it's actually the most effective way of getting somewhere. Without stopping to wonder if all this adversarial thinking just leaves us bruised and confused.
"In argument, there's so much unnecessary time spent in discussion attacking someone," de Bono said.
And maybe you've also taken that argument inside yourself…
So, for instance, maybe you tear strips off your own ideas just as they emerge. Or you repeatedly flip from why something will work, to why it won't, to why it's good, to why it's bad, without doing anything much but cancelling out all the alternatives.
De Bono says it's time to ditch the argumentative thinking. It's time to get parallel. To think about one aspect at a time. And to forget about the notion of "getting it right" for a moment.
This is where his famous idea about the "six thinking hats" comes into it. That everyone involved in a decision could all look at it from the same angle, with the same hat on, at the same time. And you all methodically go through all six perspectives one by one.
And this concept can also be used when it's just you making a decision, so you don't have different parts of you arguing for different outcomes. You can be on your own side for a minute.
So here are the hats you might like to try on:
is for feelings or emotions or a sense of intuition about something. Just pay attention to what you feel about the issue. Right now. No explanation or justification is needed – in fact, they're banned. Just say or write down whatever you feel. Even if it makes no sense. Just listen to it and give it a space so it doesn't have to elbow its way into the other areas quite so much.
is about information – what's already known about the issue, and what else might be useful to find out. Is there any information lacking? Do you need to gather any more? How will you do that? (And write it all down).
is about listing all the "positives" or benefits or ways this situation or decision might support your values. Why would this be a good thing for you? How?
looks at judgement and critical thinking. It's a space for caution and exploring any "negatives." Why might this idea not work? Where could it fail? Where are its weak points? Could it bring other difficulties or challenges? Note them all down.
fosters growth and creativity. What new ideas about all of this could you uncover? What alternatives might there be? How might you overcome any of the problems you spotted when you wore the black hat?
brings an overview. It's about organising and focus and getting a summary together about all of the thoughts from all of your other hats. It can also be used to decide which order you want to do your thinking in: which hat in which sequence? Are there any hats you'd leave out? Any you'd use twice?
And remember the challenge is to take it one hat at a time.
If you find any argumentation slipping in, just thank it and let it know it'll be really useful in a moment, when you get to the black hat bit.
Or if it keeps on intruding, consult with yourself a moment and see if you might like to get the black hat stuff out of the way now, while the critical voice is up on its soapbox. (Though de Bono did suggest that if you're assessing something, to "always put the yellow hat before the black" – the "positives" before the "negatives" – so you don't feel discouraged before you get a chance to start exploring).
So what do you think about all of this?
How would it be to consult your inner hat-rack like this? To allow for a full exploration of one aspect of something at a time, and to really hear yourself out before the argumentation kicks-in to silence a thought mid-way? And then to explore another aspect. And another.
Do you think it's worth trying on another way of thinking? Could you see it being useful in your life?
Feel free to throw your hat into the ring and leave a comment .…

The team over at Microsoft Press have been busy putting together another free eBook for your System Center reading pleasure. This one is 122 pages of goodness on how to work with and author reports in your SCOM environments.
Here's an introduction to its content:
The System Center Operations Manager data warehouse stores many objects, making it possible to report on performance, availability, configuration, and security. You can use data collected by Operations Manager for issue tracking, awareness, planning, and forecasting, all of which are important factors for maintaining and managing your environment. But understanding what to report on and how to do so is what actually contributes to the stability of your infrastructure.
If you're not using the data you collect about your environment, you're simply wasting space. If you use Operations Manager to monitor your environment, whether your infrastructure or a public, private, or hybrid cloud, this book is a good resource to help you understand the basics of reporting and how to build queries and stored procedures for your reports. It can also help you understand the various elements of Operations Manager management packs that are used when you create reports.
This book assumes that you have a good understanding of Operations Manager and the management pack structure required to create custom reports. It also assumes that you have a good working knowledge of SQL Server and tools like Report Builder, Business Intelligence Development Suite, and SQL Server Data Tools.
The book was authored by George Wallace, Chris Jones, Bill May, Fred Lee, edited by Mitch Tulloch and had contributions from Kevin Holman and Alban Montanera.
If you are in any way serious about delivering deep-level and easy-to-consume reports back to either your own or your customer SCOM deployments, then this book is as good a starting point as any to get you going.
Oh, and did I also mention it's FREE!
Download the book in your electronic format of choice from the Official Microsoft Press Blog here.
If this is something that interests you and you know that you'll have plenty of spare time over the upcoming Xmas holiday period, then why not check out all the other 'FREE' eBooks that MS Press have to offer from the link below:

Digitisation and decarbonisation of transport systems were among the key themes discussed at Europe's largest transport research conference, the Transport Research Arena (TRA).
Some 3,000 scientists and experts attended this year's event in Vienna which was entitled "A digital era for transport -- solutions for society, economy and environment". More than 90 sessions were convened in the areas of transport and mobility across the four-day event last week.
Austria's largest research and technology organisation, the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), which also co-organised the conference, presented a large number of current projects.
These ranged from: the battery of the future; innovative rapid loading systems; new materials for vehicle construction; methods and technologies for improving road safety; as well as solutions for making mobility systems and freight transport even more efficient.
According to the AIT, decarbonisation is one of the major challenges within the mobility sector. Its research work seeks to make important contributions in curbing climate change in the future and in keeping the planet habitable for future generations. Projects in the field of e-mobility and energy include making engine drives simultaneously environmentally friendly, low-emission and more efficient.
The institute's research also aims to optimise transportation in a climate-friendly way. These include projects such as location planning for bike-sharing systems or more efficient route planning in transport and fleet management.
A further goal of the AIT researchers is the production of new materials. A breakthrough in the production of new materials in the KryoAlu project means that metal alloys can now be produced at temperatures of minus 150°C. This renders complex heating processes unnecessary and is considered a pioneering project worldwide, said the AIT
Meanwhile, in the age of digitisation, it is increasingly important to have sufficient protection in place for critical infrastructures. Global networking and technological progress are also opening new possibilities for making transport systems even more efficient.
To make full use of technical resources, the AIT said it is constantly researching forward-looking projects in these areas. Developments range from 5G wireless communication, which enables self-driving cars to communicate with each other, digital monitoring of structural dynamics or noise protection and to research and improve self-driving transport systems.
The AIT also conducts research in the field of smart cities on urban development and urban mobility. The human dimension of urban design is also in the interest of the AIT's research work, which is implemented in technologies like virtual reality, for example.
Furthermore, the Centre for Innovation Systems & Policy takes on an advisory role in Austria as well as in European politics and is dedicated to working on current and future challenges in the field of mobility and transport.

Australian marsupials represent a parallel adaptive radiation to that seen among placental mammals. This great natural experiment has produced a striking array of mammals with structural and behavioural features echoing those seen among primates, rodents, carnivores, edentates and ungulates elsewhere in the world. Many of these adaptations involve profound evolutionary changes in the nervous system, and occurred in isolation from those unfolding among placental mammals.
This volume provides a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on the structure and function of the nervous system of Australian marsupials. It also includes the first comprehensive delineated atlases of brain structure in a representative diprotodont marsupial (the tammar wallaby) and a representative polyprotodont marsupial (the stripe-faced dunnart). For those interested in brain development, the book also provides the first comprehensive delineated atlas of brain development in a diprotodont marsupial (the tammar wallaby) during the critical first 4 weeks of pouch life.

So it turns out that cheaters actually DO prosper. At least in MLS under PRO referees they do.
Vancouver Whitecaps' 1-0 loss to D.C. United, thanks to a dodgy winning penalty call, is a hard one to take. At least we now know what the D.C. aspect of the team stands for. But it wasn't all just down to that one call. The 'Caps did enough to win the game and their finishing, good goalkeeping, and the woodwork, all conspired to prevent that from happening.
We look back at all the big talking points from the match and hear the thoughts of both coach, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and D.C.'s Ben Olsen [15:57]. We also chat with the Man of the Match, D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid and centre back Steve Birnbaum [53:04].
But the 'Caps have to put all of that behind them as they have a big game coming up this week with a Canadian Championship semi-final second leg in Montreal. We look back at the first leg, ponder what to expect from the second, and hear from two WFC2 players that made their competitive Whitecaps first team debuts last week - Dutch centre back Sem de Wit [73:32] and New Zealand defender Deklan Wynne [81:15].
And there's still time to look at the Whitecaps new training pitch and facility and hear the thoughts of Jordan Harvey, David Ousted, and Robbo on it and training on grass as opposed to turf [97:14] and have a quick look ahead to this Saturday's MLS match with Atlanta.

Dr. Robert A. J. Gagnon
Associate Professor of New Testament
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary
Dear Dr. Gagnon:
Today on All Things Considered, you said that your fellow Christians in the Exodus program that sustained a relationship with the Lord after discovering that they could not be "cured" of their homosexuality should not expect to be redeemed in the eyes of God as long as they continued in homosexual relationships.
"The problem is, you can't assure people that are engaged in serial, unrepentant sin of an egregious sort that they're going to be in heaven," you said.
I have a question.
My government engages in serial, unrepentant war. Today, commenting on a story about a family decimated by an American air assault, one of our officials said they conduct targeted, "legal" assaults against persons – with grudging regard and regret for collateral damage to neighboring families – deemed terrorist threats by some sort of undisclosed due process. I am not sure which of the people involved: the pilots or the commanders or the defense department or congressmen, whomever, but they seem to persist in this sin. If they seek forgiveness, will they find a welcome at the Pearly Gates?
And then there are these bankers – they might even be members of your church – that obscure credit terms and manipulate other people's investments such that usury is committed and theft occurs. They do this with serial consistency and I do not know whether they have repented or not, but they sure resist any regulation to limit their inequities. What are their chances of a reward in heaven?
And, Dr. Gagnon, there is in my country an institution, a church proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, Teacher of Grace. This church, in many denominations regarding themselves as carriers of fundamental truth, spends great energy condemning. They condemn not the war mongers, not the cheating money changers – they condemn people who, by nature or nurture, lifestyle or genetic formation, have a different orientation. This institution, this church, commits the sin of judgment with serial, unrepentant venality.
Could you please explain this to me, for the God I grew up to worship created all things, loves without limit and sent his only begotten Son to liberate us from envy, spite, hate and bigotry.
I look forward to your clarification, for my heart is somewhat troubled by your testimony this afternoon.

When co-ed Ann James tossed the tassel on her mortarboard at graduation from Smith College and thought ahead to her Yale Divinity degree, it's unlikely her thoughts meandered to the day when she would spellbind audiences by wearing a combination Fredericks of Hollywood teaser with prosthetic hook arms.
That's exactly what James does do every performance of Sideshow's Maria/Stuart, while delivering more truth than her on-stage siblings can muster in a soothing mellifluous voice typically reserved for making Shakespearean lingo relevant to Chicago's school children, or in for her pastoral work with the United Church of Christ.
Meet "Maria/Stuart's Aunt Sylvia; meet Ann James.
A United Church of Christ minister and driving force to help the Summerdale Community Church provide a neighborhood place for all in the community, James has made her pastoral career share a platform with Chicago's vibrant theater scene for decades. Not least of this work has been her devotion to making her beloved Shakespeare come alive to newer generations, including the many students who learn English as a second language.
Chicspeare, a name James coined to convey both a dual commitment to the city and to the Bard, is currently wrapping up its 2013 school programs. In the fall Chicspeare hopes to get back into full production mode helping teachers with Romeo and Juliet. Your funds and volunteer hours can make this happen and James welcomes all inquiries to http://www.chicspeare.org or (773) 699-BARD.
Why break from this work to perform the Aunt Sylvia role in "Maria/Stuart"?
This is how James explains what this role and the Sideshow Company mean to her—
"I love playing this part because Aunt Sylvia is a character who embodies a pure and genuine concern for the people around her—only wanting them to say and embrace the truth as she has. No matter what, she is determined to make sure that the lies that crippled her generation do not move on to the next and she will do anything to that achieve that goal.
"…Temperamentally I'm an introverted hermit, but professionally the things that consistently interest me from childhood musical interests, to performing, to politics, to church and then back to theater have always been what I call the communal imagination. History brings us into many forms of community and they each have a text that is worked out in a communal way—in music the score, in theater the script, in church the scripture. The text is always living. It is not just on the page.
".. Or, as Shakespeare's line in Hamlet Act 3 reads, "…to hold as 'twere the mirror up to nature: to show virtue her feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.
"Having worked with Sideshow Theatre before, I was thrilled to be asked to do this part—even before I read this wonderful script that combines cartoonish moments with truthful drama and then goes back to the absurd. The theme of this play, and especially lived by the character I get to play, is that the truth will set you free and it is only the truth that will set you free.
"We read our lines as a comedy but really this is a truly tragic tale with the would -be hero not being up to living as a hero. No happy ending here…
"…I am drawn to this work as a moral. In this play as in life nothing every goes away. Today we live in a society where so much is disposable and materialistic. We all think we can just go and remake ourselves but we cannot. We have to live as we really are. That is Sylvia's message. It is a timely message of freedom for us all."
"Maria/Stuart" by Jason Grote is presented by Sideshow Theatre at the Theater Wit performance space, 1229 West Belmont, Chicago.
Maria/Stuart run time: March 30 – May 5, 2013
Curtain Times: Thursdays- Saturdays at 7:30; Sundays at 3 PM
Tickets at either www.sideshowtheatre.org or Theater Wit box office, (773) 975 – 8150.

Analysis: How Jimmie Johnson won his sixth championship
HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Jimmie Johnson won his sixth title thanks to a Chase for the Sprint Cup performance that saw him run nearly mistake-free while all of his rivals had at least one bad day.
At Homestead-Miami Speedway in Sunday's finale, Johnson quickly moved into the top five early in the race and stayed there for the entire first half of the event.
He was sitting pretty until a restart with just over 70 laps to go, when teammate Jeff Gordon started slowly , was bumped by Kenseth and jammed up the field. Johnson fell back to 18th place as he dealt with a tire rub but did not come in to pit until the next caution, when his crew repaired the damage.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver finished ninth Sunday, his ninth top-10 finish in the 10-race Chase. Denny Hamlin, who missed four races earlier this season recovering from a broken back, scored his first win of the year in the season's final race.
Johnson, who had to finish 23rd or better, now is one title from tying the record held by Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty.
But it took until the sixth race of the 10-race Chase – at Talladega Superspeedway – for Johnson to take the points lead for the first time.
Despite consecutive top-five finishes to open the Chase – a fifth at Chicagoland Speedway and fourth at New Hampshire Motor Speedway – Johnson found himself third in the points standings thanks to back-to-back wins by Matt Kenseth and back-to-back runner-up finishes by Kyle Busch.
Johnson then won at Dover International Speedway – perhaps his best track – to take over second in the standings.
When Busch finished 34th at Kansas Speedway and Johnson finished sixth, it became virtually a two-man race between Johnson and Kenseth.
At Charlotte Motor Speedway, Johnson appeared to be on his way to victory until a late debris caution left him with a fourth-place finish instead. But Johnson took over the points lead for the first time at Talladega when Kenseth got stuck farther back in line coming to the checkered flag.
Kenseth showed he wouldn't be going away quietly by finishing second at Martinsville, where everyone expected Johnson to start running away with the title. But Johnson finished fifth, sparking talk that Kenseth might be able to pull off his second championship after all.
The Chase shifted again a week later, when Johnson completely dominated the Texas race – leading 255 laps – and went to Phoenix with a seven-point lead.
Kenseth had his worst car of the season, which couldn't have come at a worse time. No amount of pit stops, some of which were bobbled, could get the car setup the way Kenseth needed and he finished 23rd. Johnson finished third to take a 28-point lead into Homestead – meaning he would either have to crash or have a parts failure to lose the championship.

Eagle River girls have small basketball turnout
Different year, same problem.
Eagle River High girls basketball again is suffering from low numbers. The 2011-12 team has just six full-time varsity players and two JV swingers.
It's a problem that's plagued the Wolves since senior captain Meaghan Byman started playing as a sophomore.
"The problem is we have a new team every year," she said. "That's a big key to our unsuccessfulness."
Attracting more girls to the sport would remedy the situation, Byman said.
That's slowly starting to happen, said third-year head coach Terra Bingham.
A total of 22 girls are in Eagle River's program, she said. The Wolves were able to field a JV and C team this season.
"When other people are suffering, we're still growing," Bingham said. "This is the first year in a long time we've had a C team."
Byman and Bingham have yet to win an Eagle River girls varsity game; however, Bingham is hopeful this season will be different.
"We are better this year than last year," she said. "I know we are."
One thing different for all Cook Inlet Conference teams is that only the top two in the CIC will earn automatic state berths. Other automatic Class 4A berths include two from the Northern Lights Conference and one from the Southeast and Mid Alaska conferences.
The final two spots will be determined by Winning Percentage Index standings. This is the first time WPI will be used to determine who goes to state.
Avoiding turnovers on the first pass will be key for success on offense, Bingham said.
"We will be pretty good if we play the game we're supposed to," she said.
Along with improving its turnover ratio, the Wolves need to put more points on the board, Byman said.
The latter will be important to achieve one of the team's goals — playing closer games with opponents, junior Dana Panfil said.
"We don't want to get smashed every time," she said.
The team's low numbers and new faces forces Eagle River to work on basics, Panfil said.
"We have to start on fundamentals, which automatically puts us at a disadvantage," she said. "We just need a solid team, which is hard."
Though the team hasn't worked together too much, Bingham said, she's already seeing signs of good things to come.
Panfil — one of the team's most potent scorers — will be essential to spark Eagle River's offense, Bingham said.
"We just need to get her the ball where she can score," she said.
Sophomore Samantha Coy's energy will be key at the post, Bingham said.
"She's really aggressive," Bingham said.
Just as the flag football team did, the basketball squad will rely on freshman Lauren Frost. Frost, who quarterbacked the Wolves, will run the offense at point guard.
"I'm grateful for her," Bingham said.
Byman's role on the gridiron will also carry over onto the court, as the Wolves will rely on her strong defensive abilities.
"She's totally captain material," Bingham said. "She's a leader."

Nootka! The countdown begins!
We're stoked to announce a six week release of coldwater surf adventure slots at Nootka Wilderness Lodge, starting in October and concluding mid-November 2018.
We're talking five guests max – and your choice of three, five or seven-day trips.
We're talking steamers and booties (gloves and hoods as well), black bears on the beach, salmon the size of small children, seaplane transfers in and out… we're talking coldwater adventure like you've never experienced.
Access from Vancouver airport is via a one hour chartered seaplane flight, across stunning Vancouver Island, and touching down right at the Lodge.
The surf is a speedboat trip away, about a 40 minute mission, half of which is up the inside channel, so it's calm for much of the transfer.
There's a selection of reefs, A-frame peaks, bays and beaches, with so much of the potential of the area mostly untapped.
The Lodge itself is a stunning, floating affair. Hugely popular with Salmon and Halibut fishermen.
We're so excited about this place! The adventure, the nature, the stunning scenery, the fishing, the untapped surf. We have Tofino legend Pete Devries on hand to act as specialist surf guide, we have the seaplane charter on lock, we have the Lodge dialled in. All we need is for you to come and share this epic and unique experience with us!
Interested? Curious? Got any questions? Get in touch! [email protected]
