I accept. I will be arguing that procrastination is possible.
It is possible for humans to procrastinate.
Burden of Proof
I will accept the BOP as I am contending procrastination is possible.
Procrastination: The act of replacing high-priority actions with tasks of lower priority, or doing something from which one derives enjoyment, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time.
Possible: Able to be done; within the power or capacity of someone or something.
This seems like a slam-dunk debate for me, so I'm suspicious that Con has something up his sleeve. I look forward to your response.
1 Not able to occur, exist, or be done: "an impossible task";
2 "impossible to keep up". Very difficult to deal with: "an impossible situation".
As you can see, the second definition shows a different version of impossible. It is "difficult" to deal with. I did not specify which impossible I was reffereeing to, but number two is my interpretation.
Now procrastination is "difficult to deal with," don't you think?
Let it be noted that the source (dictionary.com) is not biased in the way they define words that begin with the letter "i" just because they confuse us :(. Here are some other definitions that define similar definitions for "impossible"
"Totally Unlikely" (it is unlikely you will ever have a life if you are a procrastinator)
"Impossible" is the 15th episode of the ABC television series, Desperate Housewives. The episode was the 15th episode for the show's first season. The episode was written by Marc Cherry and Tom Spezialy and was directed by Larry Shaw. It originally aired on February 20, 2005." (The show is unbearing to watch, as it is when your life is in shambles)
"Unlikely, difficult, implausible, uncomfortable, new."(Unlikely you'll ever recover, difficult to talk to other human beings, implausible that you'll get married, uncomfortable to sleep on the bench that has gum on it beside the street, new best friend that is actually a face on an egg."
Also this blogspot website I didn't read said that procrastination doesn't exist. So, yeah!
And this website, which again I didn't read:
It is for these reasons that I am right and you are wrong. Thank you, g'day.
I'm glad to see there's an actual argument here. For a minute there I was worried this was a fake account.
Counter Arguments
1. This Definition
Con has defined "impossible" as ""impossible to keep up". Very difficult to deal with: "an impossible situation". Con claims this definition is from Dictionary.com, however I find it highly unlikely that a dictionary would define the word "impossible" by using the word "impossible" in the definition, and upon further investigation my suspicions were confirmed. The actual definition of impossible given at dictionary.com is;
"im·pos·si·ble [im-pos-uh-buhl]
not possible; unable to be, exist, happen, etc.
unable to be done, performed, effected, etc.: an impossibleassignment.
incapable of being true, as a rumor.
not to be done, endured, etc., with any degree of reason orpropriety: an impossible situation.
utterly impracticable: an impossible plan." [1]
It seems Con has been caught in a lie.
Furthermore, defining the word impossible doesn't connect procrastination to impossibility. Con contends that procrastination is difficult (and therefore impossible?), but this is clearly not the case as, "In accordance with Freud, the Pleasure principle may be responsible for procrastination; humans do not prefer negative emotions, and handing off a stressful task until a further date is enjoyable." [2]
As you can see, the only reason why people procrastinate is because procrastination is not difficult. It's very easy to do and that's why so many people do it every day.
Finally, it should be noted that I defined possible in round 1 as "Able to be done; within the power or capacity of someone or something." meaning the definition of impossible for this debate is then, "NOT able to be done; NOT within the power or capacity of someone or something." -- Con cannot re-define impossible in round 2 as it was already defined by me in round 1. If Con wanted to define 'impossible' then he needed to do so in round 1. By not doing this, he has handed over the right to define terms to me, which I have done.
2. Other Definitions
These are all irrelevant. Con hasn't even tried to make an argument out of these definitions.
1. Examples of Procrastination
To prove procrastination is not impossible I've taken the liberty of googling for examples of people procrastinating. the first link was for ADDforums.com, a network for people suffering from attention deficit disorder. On it is a thread where members of this site have compiled a list of times they've procrastinated. This thread is about 2 pages long. [3]
Clearly procrastination is not impossible, it's not even difficult.
Con has re-defined a term he was not allowed to re-define, he lied about his source for his illegitimate re-definition and made an argument that doesn't follow from this definition for his case. Con's argument is a mess on every level, while I have provided examples of procrastination that prove it is not only possible, but the preferred method of dealing with problems in accordance with the pleasure principle.
I look forward to your response.

Although you pretty much have this debate in the bag, and I could not extend my former arguments further, I do have a trick. I feel like a jerk for using it, but people are going to vote for you anywa--
Definition of procrastination: the act of procrastinating; putting off or delaying or defering an action to a later time.
Definition of procrasination: There are no definitions for procrasination
I am sorry that I have to resort to semantics(?) and comic sans, but what'ya gonna do? amirite amirite?
Impossible to win debates are impossible to win.
Counter Arguments
1. Definition of Procrastination
Con contends that there is no definition of procrastination. This is simply not the case as this source proves. [1]
Furthermore, I defined "procrastination" in round one, so this matter is already settled.
Con has failed to discredit my examples and debunk my arguments. The possibility of procrastination has been established and therefore my BOP has been fulfilled.
I thank my opponent for an... interesting debate.
Conduct - Pro. Con lied about his sourcing in round 2
Spelling/Grammar - Tie, but feel free to give this to Con for being entertaining.
Arguments - Pro, because I had actual arguments
Sources - Pro. I didn't lie about my sourcing and Con admits to not reading his own sources
Vote Pro! =)

Reasons for voting decision: Pro successfully proved that procrasination is possible by giving clear examples of people saying themselves that they have been procrastinated. Con wasn't able to refute this argument. Moreover, Con didn't have actual arguments and didn't successfully prove that procrastination is impossible. Indeed, it is almost impossible to prove something IMPOSSIBLE. Con tried to prove that procrastination is impossible by giving some definitions. However, Pro clearly refuted this very flawed argument.

Three Stoke women buy the pub where the pop sensation was brought up - and now they want to honour the local boy...
Three women in STOKE are planning to open a ROBBIE WILLIAMS theme pub in the bar where the singer grew up.
The trio, Lisa Smith, Donna Chevin and Dawn Greatbach, recently bought the run down Red Lion bar in the Burslem area of the town. Robbie spent much his childhood living in the bar when it was run by his mother Jan.
According to the News Of The World newspaper, the pub hit hard times when the family moved out. The new owners are hoping his reputation will help make it a shrine for Robbie fans.
"We sat down one night and came up with the idea of a Robbie theme pub," explains Lisa. "He's put a lot into the community and we really wanted to honour him."
The Red Lion is not the only local bar hoping to cash in on the fame of the town's most famous son. Robbie and his family also lived opposite The Ancient Briton, a pub which became his local.
The Ancient Briton's landlady Janet Cartlidge says: "We plan to have Robbie tribute nights. He was one of the lads. He used to come in here most nights and play pool."
Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash was also born and lived the early part of his life in the Midlands town. However, there are no current plans to open a theme pub for the rock wildman.

During the summer 2017 Hallingdal Holidaypark got 6 glamtents ! (3 tents with 4 beds and 3 tents with 2 beds).
Each tent has a beautiful 100 sqm lawn right next to Hallingdalselva/ Hallingdal river.
Hallingdal Holiday park has been aiming to set a new standard for camping in Norway and with glamping this goal is archived.
The tents are 5 m in diameter and have 3 meters headroom in the center of the tents. Cozy and stylish furnished with beds, duvets, carpets and lamps that creates an adventurous atmosphere. The tents do also have electricity and fan heater that provides a comfortable indoor climate.
They are nice and dry regardless of the weather. The sturdy bottom with high edges is attached with a zipper to the impregnated tent canvas. The walls can be rolled up so the cool air by the ground acts like an air condition during the warmer days.
Imagine waking up in a good bed listening to the birds singing and see the sun rise. And in the evening when the candles are lighted, the atmosphere is magical
To wake up in one of these glamtents is an unforgettable experience.
Tents with 2 beds: 2 beds as a double bed, pillows + duvets, bedspreads, bedside tables, woolen blankets, carpets, sheepskin, storage box, 2 chairs and a table, electric oven, electric lamps, lanterns, candelabra and outdoor furniture.

The following post was originally published on the IFMR blog.
Financial inclusion is not good in itself.
We value financial inclusion as a means to an end. We value financial inclusion because we believe it will increase the well-being, dignity and freedom of poor people and people living in remote areas, who have never had access to savings, insurance, credit and payment services.
It is therefore important to ensure that the way in which financial services are delivered to these people does not ultimately diminish their well-being, dignity and freedom. We already do this in a number of ways – for example, by ensuring providers do not make misrepresentations to consumers, or charge exploitative or hidden rates or fees. Consumers should also be protected from harms that result from data practices, which are tied to the provision of financial services.
Benefits of Big Data and Data-Driven Innovations for Financial Inclusion
"Big data" has become a fixture in any future-focused discussion. It refers to data captured in very large quantities, very rapidly, from numerous sources, where that data is of sufficient quality to be useful. The collected data is analysed, using increasingly sophisticated algorithms, in the hope of revealing new correlations and insights.

In the story of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, the magical word "sesame" was used to open the seal of a cave where Ali Baba found hidden treasure. In China today, the same word is connected to another kind of magic, one that reveals hidden identities of the socially and economically disadvantaged. Sesame Credit ("芝麻信用" in Mandarin) is a product launched by Alibaba that pulls from transaction records on e-commerce platforms to understand a person or company's creditworthiness. Such innovation in credit scoring is part of the "social credit system" that the Chinese government is building to make up for the longstanding shortage of credit data.
Access to credit, a major indicator of financial inclusion, has gained increasing attention from Chinese policymakers in recent years. For a country experiencing an economic slowdown and widening income gap between the rich and the poor, credit accessibility has the potential to spur growth and level the playing field for the poor. However, despite China's efforts to improve financial access, a large portion of its population neither uses nor has access to credit. Data from the World Bank's Global Findex study showed that Chinese people (aged 15+) have relatively high levels of formal bank account ownership (79 percent, 2014) but low levels of credit usage (14 percent, 2014). In fact, China's formal credit use is the lowest among the five BRICS economies. Aside from the rigidity and costliness of financial institutions, a significant barrier to borrowing is the lack of reliable credit scoring in China. Established just 11 years ago, China's credit bureau CCRC covers credit profiles for only a quarter of China's 1.4 billion population and shares that information only with selected banks. Lenders thus often have no access to borrowers' financial histories and tend to make rather arbitrary decisions on borrowers' creditworthiness. As a result, many individuals and microenterprises find it difficult to get a loan, as steady employment and collateral assets are commonly required for formal credit.

This post is part of a multi-post series focused on partnerships between commercial banks and financial technology startups.
Today's financial sector narrative pits the new guy against the old guy. In the case of financial services, this narrative, as it is often portrayed, places commercial banks, the legacy providers, in direct competition with startups, with both parties vying for customers in a game defined by technological advances. While this narrative sometimes plays out in real life, it leaves out the complex ecosystem of interaction between the old and the new. In fact, when it comes to reaching new customer segments, old players are increasingly turning to startups.
In The Business of Financial Inclusion: Insights from Banks in Emerging Markets, CFI and the Institute of International Finance reveal that commercial banks are partnering with fintech startups in their efforts to reach the unbanked and underbanked. As challenges by tech-enabled competition mount, banks are seeking to link-up with startups as they see opportunities to reach new markets, bring down costs, and/or enhance their service offerings. Startups offer agility, a proclivity for risk-taking, and a disruptive mindset. On the other hand, banks already have the customer scale, comprehensive product portfolio, robust infrastructure, deposit insurance, branding, and experience/expertise. (See a full list of the relative strengths of banks and startups at right.) The combination of these strengths can be especially enabling when seeking out previously unreached population segments because the business models for serving those segments often depend on technologies that bring down costs. Startups can offer banks the tools they need to serve lower-income customers that would be difficult to serve within the confines of their traditional banking models. At the same time, many startups need access to customers and financial resources that banks can provide.

Access to credit is essential. But when lenders operate through a business model that overwhelmingly turns small loans (think $500) into insurmountable cycles of debt, they are not providing an essential service and are instead profiteering. Such is the case with the payday loan and related short-term credit markets in the United States. Today, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) unveiled new proposed rules designed to improve the practices of these lenders that draw customers into cycles of debt. The aim of the rules isn't to kill essential access to credit, but to rein-in the payday loan industry's reliance on having a high percentage of borrowers who are unable to repay their loans and are drawn-in to repeat borrowing at higher rates and with additional fees.

Consolidation and investment in coffee brands is reaching a fever pitch, according to Andrew Daday, Director of Coffee for Stumptown Roasters. Coffee is the second-most traded commodity in the world, and the modal coffee farmer is a smallholder living near or below the poverty line, resulting in unique value chains in Latin America, East Africa, and Southeast Asia. These value chains are characterized by factors like the commodity coffee markets, agronomics, organization/associations of growers, government coffee marketing institutions, and the state of rural financial services. Specialty coffee is characterized by meeting particular quality standards. Specialty coffee production allows some farmers to escape the vicissitudes of the commodity coffee market and to capture value commensurate with their product's quality and input costs. In the United States, 55 percent of the 48 billion dollars of coffee retail value consumed falls into the specialty category – representing immense growth in recent decades. If bullishness ratifies the growth prospects for high-end coffee in the U.S. and abroad, it is worth looking into how scaling will manifest at the agricultural end of the value chain, because the relationships coffee farmers have with downstream firms impact their well-being in a number of ways, including via their access to financing.
Agriculture finance for smallholders can be an operationally-intensive, high-risk enterprise. However, financial institutions like the Netherlands' Rabobank and Mexico's Banorte express that agricultural credit is especially viable and profitable if "producers are well-integrated into a viable value chain." Linking into a larger firm's supply chain is a boon to small business growth in many contexts. Besides serving as a "springboard for growth" for small businesses from increased market access, buyer-supplier linkages yield exposure to key industry information and data points along the value chain that contribute to better capital allocation and financial accessibility for qualified entrepreneurs. Linking with a value chain may also enable a transition from informal lending, which can rely overwhelmingly on local knowledge for underwriting, to the formal financial services sector.

(Photo Credit – and how you can create product mockups just like this!)
Wow – it's been a long, protracted process; but honestly, it's been a blast to go through this with you, step-by-step.
I've stated before that this example of Testing the Muse in Practice could've literally been done in a fraction of the time, as evidenced by my work on the Dogs of the Dow App, where an idea was hatched, tested and validated in less than one month in 2014.
However, to make this a true real-time experiment, allowing for time to implement and report on the process, we really needed that extra time to tease out the fine details of the validation process.
But here we are, at the end of the experiment, with the one question remaining: Was the This Car of That Car app idea validated?
That is the question we'll finally answer in this final installment, Part 12 in our real-time experiment series of Testing the Muse in Practice.
But first, let's look back on what we had set out to achieve.
Validation Starts with One Idea
We began this series with the story of how, in 2012, I was in the market for a used vehicle. When doing the necessary research and going out to visit used cars, I kept running into the same obstacles, namely that comparing multiple used cars that were essentially apples-to-apples comparisons was extremely difficult to do.
Some of the best ideas are born from the need to solve personal problems; humans can be really quite inventive when we need to scratch our own itch.
After identifying my own personal problem, I set out to find how other people compared used vehicles – particularly when all other variables remained equal. Through market research, I quickly realized that this was an issue faced by many second-hand car shoppers.
Upon further research, I found a suitable solution that I could customize and systematize to use over and over again to quickly and reliably find the "best deal" out several seemingly similar vehicles. Recognizing that this solution could be productized to help others, I began to brainstorm how such a product would function, detailing features and benefits, as well as how it would be designed.
Once we had a mock-up of the product, we setup a sales page to begin dry-selling the product as if it were already being sold on the market, to determine if others would buy it too. The final validation of the idea was completed through advertising campaigns on both Google AdWords and Facebook Ads. The results of these campaigns will be analyzed based on units "sold".
Phew! That's the process in a nutshell, folks! Let's see how our "product" did on the market….
Advertising Campaign Results
Whether a product is real or a "mock-up" – the true test of what defines a business is whether or not people are willing to buy what you're selling.
In order for people to buy from you, they need to know your product or service exists. The quickest way to bridge the gap between your offering and your target audience is via advertising.
So let's start by reviewing the results from our two phases of advertising, to examine:
- If we generated enough traffic to our website to make an educated decision on validation (at a minimum we wanted to exceed 100 visitors); and
- If our product is marketable and/or our ads resonated with our audience.
Based on the traffic generated through these campaigns, we can then translate these advertising results into whether or not our idea was validated using Google Analytics data.
For a detailed account of how these ads were created, or how these campaigns were setup and executed on Google AdWords and Facebook Ads, please start by visiting Part 10 and Part 11 of this series.
Advertising Results from Google AdWords (Phase 1)
Utilizing the Google AdWords advertising platform, we targeted 13 keywords through a total of 21 advertisements.
Interestingly, of the 13 keywords, only 4 keywords yielded almost the entirety of the clicks (i.e. used car comparison, comparison of used cars, second hand cars, used car search).
After 6 days, these ads received 99,801 impressions, but only 386 ad clicks, resulting in a 0.39% click through rate (CTR). Not stellar. At an average cost per click (CPC) of $0.63, the total cost of this phase of the experiment was $241.38.
Advertising Results from Facebook Ads (Phase 2)
Based on the 21 ads ran on AdWords, we took the 5 ads with the highest CTR (considered as our top performers) and created combinations of these ads with three images, resulting in a total of 15 ads on Facebook.
Using these 15 ads, we ran a 3-day campaign on Facebook Ads. This campaign reached 9,384 people, generated 35 visitors (for a 0.37% CTR, again, not so hot) at a total cost in Facebook Ads of $20.99, or $0.60 per click.
Translating these Advertising Results into Validation Answers
As detailed in Part 9 on using Analytics, the stats from your ad campaign only tell you how effective your ads are – such as how many times it was displayed compared to how many people clicked on it. These interactions don't explain what visitors did on your site after they've clicked on your ad – and more specifically, whether or not you have a prospective customer.
The real indicator of idea validation is your product's conversion rate. In other words, from these advertisement clicks that brought unique visitors to your website, how many entered your sales funnel by clicking on your "Buy Now" buttons (constituting a "sale").
If you need a refresher on how we setup our Analytics to define and record these goals, refer back to our post in Part 9.
Validation Analysis using Google Analytics
Over the entire period of this experiment, unique visitors to the project website totalled 3,868 users. However, this was over a prolonged period between setting up the website, initiating the advertising campaigns, and now reporting on the results. So it's a healthy number, but it distorts the results a tad.
For a more refined view of the validation process, we want to isolate the traffic experienced only during the advertising campaigns. This will provide a much more focussed reflection of the market's actual response to our product offering.
During the ad campaign, there were 559 visitors to website, with a total of 621 page views, or 1.11 pages per session. The duration of their visit was short and the bounce rate was generally high.
Nonetheless, of these 559 visitors to the website, 22 clicked on one of our "Buy Now" buttons to reach the sales page, resulting in a conversion rate of 3.94%. Not too shabby after all…
Additional details collected during this process indicated that, of the 22 visitors who were "sold" on the product:
- 32% selected the Android app (including one email requesting the app once it goes live);
- 14% selected the Apple app; and
- 54% were undefined (e.g. they entered the sales funnel through a general "Buy Now" button and didn't select their preference).
This is great information to have if you're testing an idea for an app, because now you know which platform the majority of your target audience uses and/or which platform to develop for first. However, the 54% undefined is tricky. Next time I would close this loop by eliminating this option, requiring visitors to choose between Apple or Android from the very beginning of the funnel.
Validation Lessons Learned
There is much to be gleaned from the results of our two-pronged advertising campaign.
Firstly, the CTRs were not impressive. There are ways to increase these rates with more effective ads. This is particularly possible, now that we've identified the top keywords and ads that did the majority of the heavy lifting to attract visitors to the site.
Generally, this audience appears to be relatively hard to capture, which translates into higher (more expensive) customer acquisition costs. This was a red flag we raised early in the process (Part 2), when the keyword research results were weak, and later in Part 3 when the Facebook audience was difficult to target.
Nonetheless, we pressed forward because this is not a desk-top modelling exercise. We test, in the marketplace, to get evidence-based data to make better decisions.
A more obvious issue, that could potentially explain the weak results, may simply be the fact that the product doesn't jump off the shelf at people. It may be that the product solves a problem that people don't generally have; requires too much education; or the product presentation may be all wrong for this target audience. That leaves a lot of variables that could be tweaked or split tested to improve the results.
Validation Results: To Build or Not to Build?
The numbers are in and we're looking at a conversion rate of 3.94%.
Perhaps that sounds low to you, but is it? Is this enough to validate our idea, and justify further development of this app?
Scouring the internet, you'll find a wide range of opinions on what's a "good" or acceptable conversion rate.
The 1% figure comes up most often. If you have a 1% conversion of visitors to customers, you have a viable product that 1 out of every 100 people want. That sounds fair, but only if the economics work.
Using our example, it cost approximately $265 to attract 560 visitors to acquire 22 customers. That might be acceptable if the product retails for over $20; but to spend $12 to acquire one customer on a $1 app purchase…the dollars don't make sense. You would lose money every time. With that being said, there are many ways to scale, for example, increasing the perceived value and price of your product, or reducing the costs of acquiring your customers.
These are definitely considerations to take into account upfront when thinking about pricing and product platform.
But back to the quest for the Golden Conversion Rate…there is none!
If 1% to 3% is acceptable to you, and you can conceive of cheaper methods to advertise and scale a business, then 1% is certainly doable.
Use the numbers to help make informed decisions, but don't ignore your gut, previous experience and level of interest/passion for a project. All of these elements together will help give you indications of potential success or failure.
By no means is this set in stone, but based on working through this process numerous times with various product ideas, I tend to use the following conversion rate ranges to guide my decision-making on whether to build or not to build:
- 0-0.9%: Very little interest; Drop it and move on!
- 1-4%: Some attention but not overwhelming; Consider, but don't prioritize.
- 5-9%: The market is responding; Strongly consider.
- 10%+: We have a winner; Give the people what they want!
Wrap-Up of our Real-Time Experiment, Testing the Muse in Practice
We've tried to pack A LOT into this one post.
But to summarize, the validation process for the This Car or That Car app idea yielded a 3.94% conversion rate. It cost $265 in advertising, plus approximately $10 for the domain name and $10 on graphics – for a total price of just under $300 to test and validate this concept.
To me, spending that $300 to speculate on whether or not you have a potential business idea is priceless – it helps expose the downside risks, while uncovering the upside potential. Whether or not the costs are "worth it" can only be measured in future time and money saved, or in the comfort of moving forward and taking action, creating something that you know [has already] generated market interest.
For the This Car of That Car app, relative to other projects we're working on, the results from the testing were not overwhelming. Although there was some market interest, on a priority basis, this idea is being "shelved" as low priority (but not dumped entirely). However, if this app sounds like something you're interested in pursuing or developing – contact me and let's chat.
You may have caught on by now that this series was less about the specific app idea we chose to experiment with, and more about using it as a "vehicle" (pardon the pun) to release a series of pillar posts on the various stages of idea validation, using a real-life example.
As stated in Part 1 of this series, the value of this experiment was the over-the-shoulder view as we embarked on the process of Testing the Muse – from idea, to research, to product concept, to testing, to analyzing results and beyond.
Stay tuned for more experiments, as we use this process (and various improvements/refinements as we go) as the basis for validating ideas, working towards building businesses and products, and ultimately developing real-world sources of passive income.
Best Always,

I know it's not technically winter, but, it is, for all intents and purposes. It's got to be Thanksgiving that brings fall to its effective end. The days are short these days, but my Christmas shopping is done, so we spend our evenings chilling out and occasionally taking Edie for walks to our town center where she gasps up at the lights strung on trees and says, "Look at that!"
Which feels like a nice way to spend December. Every year I try to focus on really getting something out of Christmas, which feels to me like trying to remember a dream: the harder I try, the more success evades me. So, now my approach is anti-Christmas in pursuit of Christmas. I choose, very carefully, the seasonal things I want to fill my days with. I will make a wreath at my church's activity tomorrow, I won't bake any cookies to take or take any home with me. I will go to the Christmas in Salem tour of historic homes, but I probably won't get a tree we won't be around on Christmas day to enjoy. That kind of thing.
I suppose I will finish my book for book club, Skipping Christmas, which, I'm about 3/4 of the way through and is so stupid I could just die. But, I failed to finish a lot of books for this book club, and I no longer have a thesis as a viable excuse, and, really, I am almost done. So, okay, I will finish it. But I won't enjoy it.

A few days ago, I wrote about my new mandoline slicer given to me by a coworker. I used the mandoline slicer to make Ina Garten's vegetable tian, which consists of onions and thinly sliced potatoes, squash, and tomatoes. According to author Jeanne Lemlin (Simple Vegetarian Pleasures), a tian:
is a Provencal speciality of vegetable and seasonings cloaked in olive oil and cooked slowly in a hot oven until succulent and tender. "Tian" refers to the method of cooking as well as the heavy cooking dish that contains the melange of ingredients.Ina's vegetable tian was delicious. I followed the recipe, as written, except that I used more gruyere cheese than called for. The next time I make this dish, though, I plan on using even more cheese and layering it between the potatoes, squash, and tomatoes.
In the past, French village bakers would allow home cooks to place their heavy, vegetable-filled tians into still-hot ovens once the last breads were removed. The remaining heat became trapped in the earthenware casseroles and gently cooked the vegetables until they were suffused with the surrounding flavors of a fruity olive oil and aromatic herbs.
Vegetable Tian
Serves approximately 6
Extra virgin olive oil
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 pound medium round potatoes, thinly sliced (1/4")
3/4 pound squash, thinly sliced (1/4")
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon thyme leaves, plus a couple sprigs
2 ounces gruyere cheese, grated
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until they become translucent, about 5-10 minutes. Add the garlic and continue sauteing for another minute or so. Spread the onions on the bottom of a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish. Layer the potatoes, squash, and tomatoes on top of the onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, thyme leaves and thyme sprigs.
Drizzle olive oil on top of the tomatoes, cover dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
Uncover the baking dish, sprinkle cheese over the top, cover, bake another 30 minutes, and serve.

Wisdom of the Dolphin - Program Details
Day One
Days Two To Five
In the mornings we will go out on the boat to meet the dolphins along the Kona coast. The Pacific Bottlenose, the Spotted Dolphin and the gentle Hawaiians Spinner dolphins all live in these coastal waters and are familiar with our boat. Joan knows the dolphins' behaviors and their favorite places to be together with humans. Our safety swimmers assist you in the water as we experience the heartfelt, benevolent human-dolphin interactions.
In the afternoons and evenings we gather to discuss our experiences. Joan will share what she has learnt from her twenty years of swimming with these ocean dolphins, and Peter will explore with us what our interactions with the dolphins have to tell us about the mind of the dolphin and what we can learn about the nature of our own consciousness. Our intention will be to use this unique opportunity to be in the company of intelligent, loving, and playful creatures to raise our own awareness, open our hearts, and develop greater wisdom in our own lives. This time will include presentations, discussion, meditation, and personal reflection.
We leave one evening and one afternoon free for people to relax and explore more of the island. There are many inexpensive local restaurants and shops nearby, and bicycles or cars may be rented for going further afield.
Day Six
We meet in the morning for a final sharing and closing ceremony. The workshop is over at 11 am in time for hotel check-out.
Date created: 1-Dec-05

Legendary actor Dilip Kumar's took his loved ones to pray for his health every day. Not just his family and friends, his health was a matter of concern or his 'mooh-bola beta', none other than Shah Rukh Khan.
SRK paid the 94-year-old veteran actor a visit at his residence on Tuesday evening. Saira Banu took to twitter to share the memorable moments with Dilip Kumar and Sha Rukh Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan's love and affection was very much evident towards the legendary actor of the 60s. Planting a soft kiss on Dilip Kumar's forehead, SRK showed his love and respect for the legendary star, who has been dealing with old age complications for a long time now.

Sharing the photos, Saira Banu wrote, "Message from Saira Banu: Sahab's mooh-bola beta-"son" @iamsrk visited Sahab today. Sharing some photos of the evening."

Also, the actor updated the fans of Dilip Kumar about his health as she tweeted, "2/ @iamsrk visited Sahab this evening. Sahab's doing much better since return from the hospital. Shukar Allah."

Speaking of Dilip Kumar, Shah Rukh had once said, "You can't imitate Dilip sahib. No one can dare copy him and whoever does so, are idiots like me. I cannot become like Dilip sahib and can't even think of it."
SRK stepped into the classic character of Devdas in 2002 which was earlier portrayed by Dilip Kumar in 1955 classic, directed by Bimal Roy.
Even after his return from the hospital, in the photos, Dilip Kumar didn't look too well. After being admitted to the hospital for a week, Dilip Kumar showed considerable improvement. According to doctor's reports he struggled with dehydration, kidney dysfunction and urinary tract infection, was discharged on August 9. Here's wishing the legendary Dilip Sahab a speedy recovery!

Newland Hall is considered as one of the most popular and exclusive wedding ceremony and reception venues in Essex.
The venue is full of character and part of a large country estate that is just a few miles outside of Chelmsford, Essex. The estate consists of the 15th Century Tudor Manor house (600 year old Grade II Listed building) that is situated in over 100 acres of woodland and farmland with four lakes and surrounded by beautiful countryside.
The grounds are perfect for wedding photography; the estate includes a moat, beautiful gardens with a gazebo and a beautifully decorated marquee that is just perfect for a wedding reception.
The staff are very experienced and professional; they are flexible and ensure that everything is set to match the requirements of their clients – As a photographer at the venue I found the staff to be very helpful and a willingness to suggest great locations in the grounds for photo opportunities.
For each wedding they also promise 100% exclusive use of the house and grounds for the guests, making it one of the premier venues in Essex
The venue has a variety of options to conduct marriage ceremonies; they can be held inside their Henry VIII room, inside their permanent marquee or even outside on their custom built gazebo situated in the gardens.
With so much variety and options available for the clients, guests and the photographer, it truly is a perfect venue for a wedding reception!
Below are a few photographs from my last wedding at the venue!

Trevor,I wouldn't say there's no reason to take a carry-over capital loss: you can still get the difference between your marginal rate and long term capital gains rate on $3000/year. It's just when you factor in the lower cost basis on which you will eventually have to pay capital gains, the advantages of the tax loss are a lot less than most people think, especially if you're not talking about something (like an index fund) that you may hold onto for many, many years before paying Uncle Sam back.

I'm back! Between family from out of the country coming to visit, class/homework, going out of town, having my husband home for his vacation days, and just the everyday responsibilities of being a momma and wifey...I've been MIA on my blog. I've been busy! ...but busy is good.
So to catch up a bit...
On Tuesday Saf and celebrated our [3] year anniversary. The best part about 'our day' was having him home from work. That night we did dinner and a movie. So cliche. But when cliche rarely gets to happen due to our insane schedules...I'll take cliche any day and be more than happy about it.
Reminiscing about these past three years brought back many memories. They say the first year is the hardest...more like the first two years. We had lots of good times those first two, but.........I would never want to repeat them. haha. (they were learning experiences) But throughout this last year I feel like we've finally found our rhythm together.
I love this guy to death! The best part about us is we compliment one another. My weaknesses are his strengths and vice versa. He's not just who I want, but he's who I need. From the get-go when we first met I immediately felt this peaceful, calming feeling when I was with him. It was a peaceful, calming feeling I had (at the time) never known. This peaceful, calming feeling brought out my happiest self...the 'happiest' I never allowed myself to be.
Even now I still feel this same peaceful, calming feeling...
Last year I had to be rushed to the E.R. and ended up having an emergency surgery. I remember when I started waking up after the surgery...I was still very groggy and was trying so hard to fight against the anesthesia so I could open my eyes and talk. When I came to it and could open my eyes (although everything was still really blurry) and barely talk the first thing I did was ask the nurse for my husband. I remember I started crying ...from the physical pain but mostly from the emotional pain of what I just endured. Again, I asked the nurse for my husband. She made some stupid remark in an attempt to calm me down and then said I was still in the recovery room and no visitors were allowed. Still being somewhat sedated and totally out of it (and mad at the nurse because she wouldn't get my husband) I started crying even more and telling the nurse ....well, let's just say I was telling her repeatedly, "Get my husband you effing-female dog!" (that's the edited version). haha I swear it was the drugs that made me do it! At that point I must have been that distraught because the nurse had to put an oxygen mask on me and the next thing I knew Saf walked into the room, kissed my head, and sat down next to my bed. Immediately that same peaceful, calming feeling of his presence settled me down and I just knew everything would be ok because he was with me.
*Side note: As peaceful and calm this guy can get me...he's also the number one person to work my patience (and nerves)! We are far from perfect. But who wants a perfect marriage? ...that would be so boring? We keep each other on our toes.
We always tell each other to look at things through your 'spiritual eyes' (or eternal perspective). If you know my husband than you know how he's forever clownin' and laughing. Whenever we go to the temple and we're sitting in the Celestial room together, he'll lean over to me to whisper something and then start laughing (his quietest laugh). Then while trying to hold back my laughter, I'll tell him to stop laughing because he's being so irreverent. But secretly, all I'm thinking when I tell him to stop is this is how it's going to be through out this life and here after. He's never going to change and he'll forever be mine.
Cheers to [3] years and an eternity to go...
Caught a quick one when he wasn't looking. (I can never get this guy to take a pic) We were suppose to take one of us both looking (for keepsake on our 3rd anni) but when we were at the movies it was too dark and then when we went out to eat we were too hungry. haha So this one will have to suffice.

Authorities say they confiscated 1600 weapons from the home of Kevin Long, who was on a judicial watch list because, authorities said, he has a history that poses a potential threat to judges or other court officials.
Long faces almost four dozen additional charges in connection with the cache of weapons-- worth $45,000 -- found in his garage. The most disturbing find were the plastic knives, according to Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.
" This will obviously kill somebody, yet take the metal part off and it is plastic and won't appear on metal detectors," said Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.
Sheriff's police raided Long's home after the 48-year-old was caught last week trying to bring hunting knives into the Daley Center. Long is no stranger to Cook County Courthouses or to the federal courthouse. For the past few years, he has been on the top of a threat list developed by the sheriff's office and U.S. marshals.
"We have a lot of these people-- Kevin Long being one of them -- that we are totally aware of whom we monitor," said John O'Malley, acting U.S. marshal.
Long has been arrested several times for making threats against those in the legal system. He was released from prison in November after being convicted of intimidating a witness.
"Prior to that he had been convicted of criminal trespass because he was found in judges chambers," said Sheriff Dart.
Long lived in a Milwaukee Avenue condominium building. Neighbors say they were unaware of long's weapons collection, but knew of his threatening behavior.. Art Whiteside keeps a file on Long and alleges Long has vandalized his property several times.
"He would smash the front windows in my house twice, broke the windows in my car twice and I caught him cutting the tires on my car.," said Art Whiteside, neighbor.
Whiteside says Long has harassed several people-- including children who use this park next to his home. Residents say Long has filed several frivolous lawsuits against neighbors, including a nun.
"We were going to have a bake sale and collect money to get a judge to put him away," said Whiteside.
Residents say Long has filed several frivolous lawsuits against neighbors, including a nun.
He was one of about 25 people on a judicial watch list. While he was allowed in the Daley Center, Long had been banned from the federal courthouse.

Due to recent world events causing stockpile shortages of Titanium, many see the price exploding.
Titanium is completely benign when implanted in the human body. It does not induce any form of allergy and does not react with salt making it an ideal choice for use in personal jewelry.
Titanium is always found as a compound with other elements and is very time consuming and expensive to extract into a pure fine metal bar. You cannot simply smelt Titanium like copper or gold.
Although an expensive and complicated process; Titanium, Titanium alloys, Titanium compounds and Titanium coated metals have many uses in industry today due to their unique properties.
Our Titanium is a .999 fine bullion quality 1 Pound bars, not formed sponge or powder.
Despite being the ninth most plentiful element on the Earth's surface, there are few concentrated deposits that make commercial extraction viable therefore it is distributed all over the world.
Here is a short list of Titanium applications: industrial, aerospace and marine, architectural, pigments, additives and coatings, chemical processing, jewelry and a growing list of dental and medical uses.
One very important fact to consider is that US strategic stockpiles of Titanium have been depleted since 2005. Right now, only Russia and China have decent strategic stockpiles of Titanium with Russia alone owning about 50% of the world's Titanium and showing no inclination to sharing.
Our Titanium originates from USA and Australian mines only.

Have not purchased titanium before so did not know what to expect. It exceed my expectations and I will purchase more in the future. Unbelievable fast service and delivery. Have ordered from them before and will order more in the future.

So far, I have purchased copper and titanium from here. I purchased it for my Son and he is very happy with the purchase. We have purchased bullion from other places; however, the quality of this far exceeds it. The shipping is super-fast. I had everything in 2-3 days. This is the only place I will purchase copper and titanium from now on, as well as check out everything else.

I'm a little less than two weeks out from my first chemo infusion, but it feels like months ago!
I'm doing well. The side effects are giving me some problems and they are a reminder that I am sick. After the initial days in bed after chemo, I have forgotten a few times that I am in the middle of treatment. It is a weird sensation. There are definitely days after the infusion that I felt horrible, but I generally forget that I'm fighting a real disease that can be deadly if not treated. I don't know if that makes sense because I don't think I'm explaining it correctly. There hasn't been a day when I haven't been impacted by the chemo, but I think in my head I attribute it to something else. Maybe it's a coping mechanism.
Other than fighting this deadly disease called cancer, here's how I've been feeling:
My energy is almost back to normal, but I still get tired closer to the end of the day. My hope is that I can go workout next week, which I haven't done in a long time.
My mouth is a hot mess. My tastebuds are shot and some of the things that I used to enjoy eating now taste funny–including See's Candies chocolate!!! Along with bad tastebuds, I also have really bad dry mouth all of the time and there is not enough water in the State of Oregon that can make it feel better. My lips are also SUPER chapped. I tried a million different types of chapstick, but the only thing that seems to be working is Aquaphor, but I apply it every 45 minutes or so.
My hair is starting to fall out and I expect my head to be a patchy mess soon. Since I cut my hair the day before chemo, it has grown a lot. I've always had fast-growing hair and I hope this will continue after this is done.
I start back up with prep for my next infusion this week and then head back in for my second chemo treatment on June 7. Wish me luck!

UNHCR Urges States to Help Avert Bay of Bengal Boat Crisis
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), more than 1,100 Bangladeshis and Rohingyas drowned in the Indian Ocean between January 2014 and June 2015, and the number of attempted crossings is expected to increase. UNHCR is calling for urgent action before the end of the monsoon season unleashes a new wave of people leaving on boats from the Bay of Bengal.
UNHCR spokesperson Melissa Fleming told a press briefing in Geneva that, in the first six months of this year, some 31,000 Rohingyas and Bangladeshis departed from the Bay on smugglers' boats. This marks a 34-percent increase over the same period last year, and brings to 94,000 the estimated number of people who have risked their lives making the dangerous voyage since 2014.
Survivors interviewed by UNHCR detail long and difficult journeys by land and sea, and often claim to have been towed or guided by authorities from one territorial water to another. At least 5,000 people were abandoned at sea by smugglers in May and eventually disembarked in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. Another 1,000 people remain unaccounted for but may have disembarked without the knowledge of the authorities. At least 70 people are estimated to have died on the boats that were abandoned in May.
Of those disembarked, most of the Bangladeshi nationals have been assisted home with the support of their government. The Rohingya, who cannot return to Myanmar at the moment, remain in the countries in which they were landed. UNHCR's appeal for $13m to respond and seek solutions to the recent maritime crisis is only 20% funded. More funds are needed to enhance protection interventions for the Rohingya population in host countries, and to meet the humanitarian, human rights and development needs in source countries.
With the next "sailing season" expected to start soon UNHCR is working on an information campaign warning potential travellers of the risks of getting on smugglers' boats. At the regional level, said Ms Fleming, more must be done to put systems in place to respond to the need for rescue at sea and for safe and predictable disembarkation.
UNHCR looks forward to the establishment of a task force and is also participating in global discussions on migration and human mobility, including mixed movements by sea of migrants, asylum-seekers and refugees.

Creating Scientific Drawings
Lesson 3 of 10
Objective: Students will learn different ways to make their scientific drawings accurate and detailed. They will learn the requirements and expectations for scientific drawing.
RAP - Review and Preview
I call students to the gathering area and tell them, drawing is a very important part of scientific discovery. It is a way for scientists to share information that they cannot easily communicate in words.
You don't have to be an artist to be able to create drawings of the things you see in your science discovery. You just need to be very observant and willing to take the time to record your observations in a detailed manner. Scientific drawings can add detail to what you learn and can help you see more detail and remember the information better.
There are some specific things that we talked about in the previous lesson when we looked at the human leg skeleton poster. We talked about the title, labels, attention to detail, perspective, and accuracy.
Today, we are going to look at a bad example of a scientific drawing and practice some drawings too.
Words of Wisdom
I tell students that, I am going to give you a few tips and some time to practice, so that hopefully, you will not find it intimidating when I ask you to draw a diagram for your science notebook. Sometimes, students who don't see themselves as artists find that this type of drawing is something they are very good at, especially if they are detail-oriented.
I tell them that, drawing in science in not about creating a work of art. There is no interpretation of what you are seeing. Your objective is to create a visual representation of an item you are observing. This must be meaningful to you and people you share this with, who may not actually have the chance to see the object.
I tell students that drawings are also used in mathematics and social sciences. These skills will be useful to them across all disciplines and even in their artistic skills as they attend to detail and precision.
There are several different types of drawing that you can do in science. I share the powerpoint on the different forms of scientific illustrations they might see.
- sketching: This is a form of note-taking. It is a rough sketch of something you don't want to forget. It is not necessarily accurate to scale, but helps remind you of something in particular.
- Scientific illustration: This is a finished work of art that is scientifically accurate and detailed. The object, organism, or habitat is shown in realistic shape, texture, arrangement, color (if necessary). It has a legend to explain what is illustrated. It is labeled and important aspects are described. Magnification is noted if necessary.
- Drawing: this is a range of rough to detailed illustrations. Sometimes, artists make several rough sketches before beginning the final drawing. Scientists often use techniques from artists to add detail to their scientific drawings.
Today, we will experiment with different lines and shading we can do with out pencil and then practice a scientific drawing.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Guided Practice
I hand every student a new, sharpened pencil. I hand them a soft eraser so that we don't get ripped paper and eraser marks across their drawings.
I hand them the scientific drawing techniques handout and we go through the different ways to use your pencil. In addition. I have them draw a line with the tip of their pencil and the side of their pencil to show the difference in width of line they can make.
I show students the Scientific Drawing Handout. I show them the sloppy drawing of an onion. Using the rubric/guidelines for scientific drawings on the powerpoint, we discuss what needs to be added or changed and I have students make those changes.
I show students a chicken leg bone. I ask them to draw the chicken leg as accurately as possible. I suggest to them that they can move the bone, they can find the most descriptive side to draw. I tell them to look at it from different distances. Sometimes getting close to an object is better, sometimes, you miss important details if you go too close.
I remind students that they should be thinking about labels they might be able to put on the drawing. They should also think about notes that may need to be added to inform the viewer about the leg bone.
I tell them, always think about how your drawing is helping you learn about something.
Resources (3)
Wrapping It Up
I ask students to gather at our meeting place and we talk about the bad example. We share the different ways we corrected the onion drawing and how it helped with the chicken leg drawing.
I tell students that they will draw a human leg tomorrow with all the bones and that we will be drawing skeletons of different creatures in the next few lessons. We will also draw soft structure elements as well.

Season 2015
Upper Red Lake, Minnesota's Premier Winter Walleye Factory
Jake and Mark Romanack travel to northern Minnesota to sample the ice fishing opportunities found in Upper Red Lake, located about 40 minutes south of Baudette, Minnesota. Mark and Jake fished out of Roger's Resort and were treated to amazing action on 15 to 22 inch walleye. Most of the fish were caught on VMC Tingler Spoons, but the Jigging Rapala and Moonshine Shiver Minnow also took many fish.

Volcom commits to using 100% of Down certified by the Responsible Down Standard
Responsible Down
Volcom is committed to the ensuring the highest practices of animal welfare across its supply chains and is currently sourcing Down according to the Responsible Down Standard. In 2017, 100% of the Down used in Volcom products will be certified to the RDS standard. Striving for continuous improvement, Volcom is also working with Textile Exchange ensure integrity and best practices through becoming a 'Scope certified brand'. Textile Exchange is the owner of the Responsible Down Standard, which is now merging with the Global Traceable Down Standard (TDS). These standards are driving best practices in the industry. Volcom is a member of the Textile Exchange and is also supporting the work to enhance and improve the RDS.
About RDS
The Responsible Down Standard is an independent, voluntary global standard, which means that companies can choose to certify their products to the RDS, even if there is no legislation requiring them to do so. The RDS was developed and revised over three years, with the input of animal welfare groups, industry experts, brands and retailers. The standard recognizes the best practices in animal welfare, and excludes those that violate the animal's well-being.
What does "Responsible Down" mean?
The intent and spirit of the standard is best reflected by one of Oxford Dictionary's definitions of responsible: "morally accountable for one's behavior." Not only farmers, but brands and supply chain members need to meet their obligations to respect the Five Freedoms of the animals that provide their down and feathers, and to meet the trust of consumers that are choosing RDS products.
