A gun across the chest in proactively persuasive.
Salespeople who work with people face-to-face have an advantage over copywriters. As long as a salesperson is skilled in getting a prospect to share his concerns about the purchase, she can skillfully address each objection as it arises. She also has a whole host of visual and auditory clues as to where the sticking points are.
With online copy, you have to anticipate objections and proactively address them. If you do it well, your reader will feel as if there is an actual personal dialogue going on that just happens to eliminate concerns.
But what about blogs, you say? Isn’t that why we have comments enabled?
Sure, that’s one way to handle unanticipated objections or to provide additional clarity. It’s also a way to get valuable feedback about things you failed to consider in the first place. But remember that most people won’t take the time to ask you a question in the comments, and even those who have the same unspoken question won’t take the time to click-through and look for answers.
So, shoot down objections with your copy to convert more sales or other desired action. If you don’t, your online ambitions may end up dead on arrival.

[Copyblogger] Made You Thunk: Engage Your Readers With Typos and Misquotes
This post is by Nick Cernis.
There's a famous adage: "With great power comes a high electricity bill."
Writers enjoy a multitude of tools to exert power over their readers. If you're a purist, you'll despise the very thought of the weapon I'm about to offer:
Sometimes typose suck you in.
You couldn't stand that, could you? I fully admit—it makes me cringe with pain too. But if you want an engaged audience and you use them sparingly, typos and misquotes can really draw your readers in.
How to Wake a Nation
Misspellings and invented words work too.
An author I shan't name once confessed to deliberately mangling words in their writing online. They found a deliciously wicked pleasure in using "Portugalian" instead of "Portuguese" when referring to the people of Portugal. Utter chaos ensued.
In addition to emails from proud Portugalians linking to evidence of their country's fine wine, climate and history, the author awoke to a delicate brew of comments kindly correcting the error and commenting on the article. In just one day, hordes of lurkers had crawled out of the network to engage the author in conversation.
When you've drawn out the shy ones once, it's far easier to do it again. As the saying goes, "once bitten, twice as likely to come back."
Frankly My Dear, You're Misquoting Me
Our cheeky friend Miss Quote can deliver the same delicate poison as Miss Spelling, but with a twist.
As well as the ability to drip-feed humour and invite comment, misquotes provoke a mental hiccup. Your reader must pause to reconsider them. My opening sentence may have prompted a short brain fart while you stopped briefly to recall what great power is really meant to bring.
The power of misquoting comes almost entirely from the disruption of your reader's thought process. This is a concept central to the gentle art of persuasion, and one that can make your writing all the more convincing. Boom! And then they're hooked.
I'm not suggesting that you deliberately corrupt your posts to slip your readers false information. After all, there are plenty of drunken Wikipedia users to steal that trophy from you.
Three Quick Ways To Add Spice With Wordplay Today
Slip a clever typo, misspelling or fabricated word into your next post and see who bites.
Misquote a well-known saying from your niche in a way that provokes a response.
Incite a punn riot in the comments of this post.
Warning: Don't Make This Stupid Mistake!
I thought it would be funny to apply the concept of deliberate word butchery to everyday life. Boy, was I wrong!
While preparing food in the kitchen with my long-term girlfriend, I got down on one knee and uttered the immortal words, "Darling, will you marinade me?" It was lucky I'd hidden the knives first.
Use your new power responsibly!

[Copyblogger] Catablogging: Blog-Based Ecommerce and Affiliate Marketing
Catablogging: Blog-Based Ecommerce and Affiliate Marketing
Back in the early 20th century, a guy named Richard Warren Sears was a master at writing copy that worked. He was in the mail order business, and he sold to the market he knew best—rural America—because he grew up on a farm himself.
He started out selling watches along the railroad lines, and soon discovered the power of writing profit-pulling copy for a multitude of products. Ol’ Rich had a way with words that made his wholesale wares irresistible at even marked-up retail prices.
After his partner Roebuck quit, Richard’s company became known simply as Sears, and expanded (just a bit) beyond mail order. Sears was one of the first major corporations, and it was built by a writer from the sticks.
If Richard Sears were a young man starting out today, he’d be working the Internet like a Black & Decker 180 pc. Accessory Tool Box with Extra Storage. And since he wouldn’t stand to be underpaid by companies unappreciative of writers (or even clients, for that matter), he’d start up his own gig, selling direct as always.
But this time, he’d sell unique gadgets, use a blog to do it, and Digg-bait till he hit auto-bury. And he’d do it like a champ.
What the Heck is a Catablog?
Back in 2006, I did a guest post over at Problogger that featured the story of John Unger, who, at the time, was a struggling artist working in rural Michigan. Thanks to an early version of the catablog concept, his life has totally changed, financially and otherwise.
I’ll be doing a podcast interview with John as a follow-up to this article so you can hear his success story in his own words. It’s truly inspiring.
In the meantime, this post will focus on the writing side of catablogging, since, after all, that’s what this blog is about. But from a technical and design side, I’ve seen Chris Pearson build sites with WordPress into a slicker looking ecommerce site than most ecommerce sites. And John Unger has covered some of those issues from a TypePad angle in his article Blogs as Stores.
Here, let’s look at the essential content and copy components of a catablog in 2008 and beyond.
Step One: Fill the Narrative Gaps in People’s Lives
Back when I first wrote about this topic for Problogger, I reminded people that the vast majority of things we buy are things we don’t truly need. I quoted Hugh MacLeod to drive home the point:
If people like buying your product, it's because its story helps fill in the narrative gaps in their own lives.
When it comes to selling online and attracting prospects in the first place, we use content marketing to get the job done. I guess it would be fair to say that we fill in the narrative gaps in people’s lives with content before we sell them the product that closes the crevice.
So why bother with the content? Besides being an excellent pre-selling tool, it's mainly because of this simple truth:
No one is going to link to a product page.
Now, there are exceptions. John Unger’s eclectic Great Bowl O’ Fire scored links from BoingBoing and many other blogs, because it’s a unique and remarkable item. But for the most part (outside of my Black & Decker shout-out above), scores of otherwise in-demand products will not gain that sort of attention on their own.
Without links, you’ve got no direct traffic and no search engine juice. And if we're trying to sell online, we’d like to go ahead and have those things.
But great content can attract links on its own. And that’s why the catablogging concept works compared to your typical “business as usual” e-commerce site. The same goes for affiliate marketing, because thin affiliate sites are a waste of time these days. You need the compelling content angle to make traffic (and sales) happen.
Quality content and unique positioning are the only differentiating factors you'll have when it comes to selling stuff that others are also selling. Start off creating some killer cornerstone content that applies to your niche, and build from there.
But don't forget that effective selling (or pre-selling in affiliate marketing) also counts. That’s where the art of catalog copywriting comes in.
Step Two: Sell it and Don’t be Shy About It
The most self-limiting thing I see about bloggers trying to make money is a self-defeating approach. Outside of the new breed of purposefully over-the-top, make-money-online charlatans, many bloggers seem pensive or apologetic about making money.
People buy from people who are confident, likable and unquestionably enthusiastic about what they’re selling. And that’s got to come across in your copy when trying to close the deal or prompt the click to the merchant site.
Luckily, there’s an entire established discipline devoted to copywriting that’s specific to catalog-style selling. And, as usual, it all comes down to understanding who you’re talking to and what they want to hear.
Copywriter Herschell Gordon Lewis identifies 14 catalog copy approaches in his book Catalog Copy That Sizzles . Let’s look at seven of those catalog-copy styles and see how they might apply to blog-based commerce.
"Down home" copy is written to make the reader feel like one of the family, or a welcome guest in your home. Readers feel as if you're speaking to them directly, so the copy is naturally conversational and benefit driven. The problem with this approach is that it can feel forced over time, but I think many bloggers have been practicing this style of writing for a while.
You've been told over and over to focus on the reader, and that you can't go wrong using the word "you" over and over. And sometimes that's true, if the focus is truly there and the insertion of "you" is not merely a grammatical function. Otherwise, the reader will become sick of the artificial attempt at engagement.
"Shout" copy is more about the deal, and less about the product. If you're attempting to move product via a special promotion or sale, copy that jumps up and down about how good a deal you're offering can work. Do it all the time, however, and people won't trust you or the products you're pitching.
Image All the Way
"Image all the way" copy creates a sense of exclusivity by creating associations between the product and desirable people or lifestyles. This is the copy that "fills the narrative gaps" when a person is seeking to "become" what they perceive to be a more desirable person in some aspect of their lives, whether that be more attractive, more productive, or more hip.
The narrative approach to catalog copy tells a story, and if you're great at spinning yarns, this is a great way to combine your content approach with your sales or pre-sell copy. The content can be remarkable while linking to the product page that continues, accentuates, or closes the narrative.
This catalog copy approach predicts that the more information the reader has, the more likely the purchase. And catalog copy pros know that this approach works well in business-to-business and many consumer markets. The problem with the approach for catalogs is space (or a lack thereof), which isn't a problem on the Web.
This may well be the best approach to an online content/copy hybrid such as a catablog, even though it only works in certain situations in paper catalogs. With this approach, you're avoiding the hard sell altogether, even as you're persuading via a tutorial approach that realizes that teaching people how to achieve desirable benefits is selling. Combine an educational approach with select anecdotes, quotes and metaphors to create "edutainment," and you'll be an under-the-radar selling machine.
None of the techniques are mutually exclusive. You can take different approaches at different times, and even combine techniques. As long as you keep a consistent voice along the way, you keep regular readers happy even as you tantalize first-time visitors.
Check out Catalog Copy That Sizzles for seven more copy approaches and a whole lot more information about this particular style of copywriting.
Well, I can't exactly promise you that. But Richard Sears retired at 45, which sounds like a good target for yours truly.
The great thing about this model is that it allows you to build that crucial authority as a content-only site at first. Then you can add in products via affiliate programs to start monetizing your traffic. After growing your revenue, you can enter into joint venture arrangements to get better commissions, or look into drop-shipping or other merchant solutions to be a true-blue ecommerce kingpin.
So what do you think? Is there a catablog in your future?

[Copyblogger] A Better Plan, A Bigger Profit: Copywriting Maven’s Creative Plan Makeover Series
A Better Plan, A Bigger Profit: Copywriting Maven's Creative Plan Makeover Series
I’ve been dropping hints about this new series for months now, but the time has arrived! Copywriting Maven’s Creative Plan Makeovers are now open for business—your business!
Why the transition from landing pages to creative plans? The reason became glaringly obvious. In many cases, if not most cases, I was offering assistance too late or assistance that couldn’t help a deeply flawed promotion premise.
I needed to go back to the beginning before the “sexy” aspect of writing/designing started. I needed to see the actual foundation of the promotion to make sure we were operating from genuine knowledge and understanding and not just instinct. Because, truth be told, instinct can be dead wrong and cost you big time on the other side. (Even marketers like me with 20+ years of experience and pretty good instincts still insist on working a preliminary creative plan with our clients.)
So here’s your chance of getting an experienced marketer’s review of your promotion plan before you spend one cent of your precious promotion dollars EXCEPT … just like before, it will cost you a donation to Heifer International.
I haven’t quite decided the format of the review just yet. It may be similar to the 10-point landing page critiques, a combination or something different. But I promise whatever I ultimately decide on will be immediately useful and get you started on the right track.
Ready? Then visit Maven's Creative Plan Makeover page for all the details. You’ll note that I ask for quite a bit of information. That’s because this is the information YOU need to know to be able to strategize and execute a promotion that might actually meet your sales or other conversion goals — and isn’t that the whole point? Of course it is!
I’m looking forward to reviewing your submissions and helping you grow your businesses with a little (or a lot) more smarts.

Is there a miniature version of flyball?  But her mouth is way too small to hold a regular sized tennis ball. She's only 5 lbs and 9 inches tall.
I know nothing about flyball, just agility but I've been thinking about flyball more and more.
I know NAFA allows small and regular sized tennis balls. When I did it with Komet, there was a maltese on the team who got a small ball and boy was he good!
You can use any ball that bounces and rolls. They make itty bitty tennis balls. I'm sure you won't have a problem finding a team with your small dog... everyone loves height dogs! :-) Go to www.flyball.org and look for teams in your area.
Yeah, if you've got a small, fast dog that isn't a Jack Russell you'll be quite popular. Have fun!
I know of two awesome flyball paps! Small dogs are a big asset in flyball.  I hope you can find some flyball to check out in your area, it's a blast!
Why not a Jack Russell? JRT's are quite common in flyball.
I think it's because JRTs are common that she'll be popular. When Komet was the height dog for our team, there weren't a whole lot of Schnauzers, but now those are aren't so rare anymore down here. Although I must say that Flyball has gotten noisier these past few years, maybe there's a correlation.
Thanks! I didn't know if there was a standardized tennis ball or anything. We play fetch with the mini tennis balls. I've never seen a dog as tiny as her play but I think she'd absolutely love it. She loves fetch more than any dog I've owned, retrievers included.
No, that's what I meant. The four-different-breeds teams (I forget what the term is) need, well, four different breeds and putting together a fast team that isn't made up entirely of Border Collies, JRTs, or mixes of one or the other can be difficult, n'est-ce pas?
its just called "Multi", she means a small dog that isnt a jack would be popular because in the Multi class all 4 racing dogs must be of a different breed or mix, which isnt that easy when everyone has the same breeds!
Small dogs even ones not that speedy are usually loved by most teams.  Find a team in your area and check the clubs out.
Small dogs are so much fun to watch. They are crowd pleasers. When my toy poodle runs the crowds think it is a hoot.
And don't worry about fast, not all teams care so much about fast. I ran my last tournament on an open team with a 10yo+ scottie. Little Duncan runs a steady 10 second heat It's so cool watching the little guy run!
Thanks guys! I have to wait a while for her to finish growing, she's only just turned 6 months. But I'm trying to figure out a way to put this tennis ball obsession to good use, lol. Oh and she is FAST when she wants to be.
If you are seriously thinking of flyball right now is the best time to start training some of the aspects of flyball. You should try to hook up with a team now and they can show you what you can do now to get her ready.
Lexi our Maltese does quite well in Flyball. She runs about 7.0 but she loves it. She is the fastest Maltese in U-fli at the moment. I find that little enjoy the sport as much as the big dogs, they just get tired quicker.
Here are a couple of the height dogs on my team, the X-Fidos (http://www.x-fidos.org/)...
They all use either the medium (smaller than standard) or really small sized tennis balls.
When I say serious I mean it's something I'd like to try. I'm not all that competitive and I don't really care if we win or lose. For me it's all about doing something I think Mia would enjoy.
Eli is precious, I love split faced paps! It's really cool to see the little dogs playing. I love seeing people doing something with their toy dogs.
We also have a papillon our club. Tilt does not get to play very often as he had some shoulder issues in the past and some passing issues. He learned the game at the age of 7 yrs. When he does get to run he is a ton of fun to watch.
Our club height dogs: my toy poodle, 3 jrts, 1 cairn, papillon, boston terrier in training and if we chose to run higher jumps we have my borderjack. Trust me this group of height dogs except my borderjack are not speed demons but they have fun and so do the owners.
Find some teams in your area and meet up with them. It can take some time to find a club you mesh with.

courageous conversations
Race: Just put it on the table!
Photo credit to Davida Carta. Photograph courtesy of Green Mountain Crossroads.
Here it is, the end of March, and we’ve only posted once on this month’s theme, Racial Justice! There is so much to say on this topic. WHAT’S UP WITH OUR LACK OF BLOGPOSTS??! Seriously. Sorry, everyone. It’s two things for me—I just started a new job so this month has been one blurry smear of days going past, and me working into the night just to get my work done.
But also, if I am to be truthful, there’s an undercurrent of hesitation on writing for this theme. This topic is the big one, right? Racial justice—this is the hot issue for parents, for teachers, fors done an amazing job of bringing this topic to the forefront of the national dialogue.
Three decades ago we (the generation now raising small children) grew up with the false notion that we were supposed to be colorblind. If they (teachers, parents, role models, cultural leaders) kept drilling ‘colorblindness’ into our heads, then we would eventually develop into a utopian society where everyone is the same and no one notices the color of another’s skin. Right? Except it didn’t really work, and thirty years later, we know that the colorblind campaign left us all confused and struggling with cultural identity, awareness of race, and all the ways that racial injustice affects our society.
So here’s the hesitation—I know there’s a lot at stake with this topic. Have I done enough? How do I talk to my kids about this? Am I doing it right?
This morning we were in the kitchen, having a snack with Angela’s boys. Out of nowhere, Levi (7 years old) says, “I don’t know why white people ever thought they were better than black people. I mean, it’s just like the jaguar who has dark fur under his eyes, to protect his eyes from the sun.” Okay, thanks, Wild Kratts for another interesting bit of information about wildlife. This is a good connection he’s made, and we talk a little bit about how melanin is in people’s skin in differing amounts, and that it’s an adaptation, just like the dark fur around the jaguar’s eyes. A little science lesson. But the cultural lesson—why and how did racism start? And how does this long, complicated history get boiled down for a 7 year old? We didn’t go there this morning.
We talk about race a moderate amount in my household. Not as much as I think we should. But I try to bring all the pieces to my kids. I sort of think of it as a trifecta.
• First, there is the history of people of color and communities of color, including both the amazing heroic or cool stories of individual groundbreaking African Americans, Hispanics and Asians (Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Jr, Bessie Coleman, Sonia Sotomayor, Matthew Henson, Gandhi, etc. etc) as well as the collective history of oppression that our kids should know about.
• Secondly, there is the task of normalizing the experience of people of color (no small feat in Vermont, the whitest state in the country!), through personal relationships (again, not always easy, when all your neighbors and the people you work with are all white… ) and books that feature characters of color doing normal life things (as an example, tonight we started on the EllRay Jakes series, by Sally Warner, about a black third grader in a nearly all-white town, and just the normal kid stuff he does).
• Finally, there is the need to talk to my kids about being advocates through actions, getting involved in change, and participating in actions like this as a family.
Is this enough? It’s more than I had. I had lots of questions about race, and the cultural differences between the kids at my schools, but race was an off-limits question. It was clearly uncomfortable, and no one knew how to talk about it, so I understood that I was not supposed to askvery different race climates. In San Diego, in ninth grade, I got jumped in the bathroom because it was “the Mexican bathroom”. It turned out that the girls who beat me up had gotten similar treatment from a gang of white girls, and were told they were in “the white bathroom”. After the incident, we never saw each other again, and never had a chance to talk about any of it. In Seattle, tenth grade, I was in the minority in a very diverse high school. In a rural town in Virginia, for eleventh and twelfth grade, no one talked about the fact that the white kids and black kids sat at different tables, or why that would happen, and I heard a lot of rumblings of discontent about how this one was “trying to be white” or this one “trying to be black”. All of those incredible opportunities for kids— those of us who now have children—and we missed it. We missed it, and the adults in our lives missed it, all because it was too taboo to mention. The kids were mentioning it, to each other, in acts of violence, or in social labeling, but the adults in our lives weren’t backing this up with any conversations that validated the truths we were all experiencing.
So I try to make sure the conversation happens with my kids, even when it feels awkward or I’m not sure if I’m doing it right. It’s the same thing with sex—I don’t have a blueprint for how to talk to my kids about their sexuality, but I absolutely know I must talk about it if they are to be comfortable coming their dad and me with questions and concerns later on. Quantity replaces quality in this case, I think. Just talk about it. Talk about it as freely as you can. Haltingly, awkwardly, yes, but put it on the table.

The above numbers can be deceiving, as Fernando has been lights out in the last month or so, as he was adjusting to the bullpen. In the past two years, the Indians, seeing Cabrera’s good fastball/split combo, have eased Cabrera into a relief role. Cabrera can throw in the mid 90s, but he still has to throw them for strikes in order to succeed in Cleveland. However, with the Indians bullpen in flux, Cabrera should get a September callup at the very least. He projects as a major-league closer, or at least an effective setup man.
The crown jewel of the system, Grady has just about everything you want in a major-league hitter; good plate discipline, the ability to hit for average, power potential, a quick bat, and the ability to hit to all fields. If he can stick in center field, he has All-Star potential. With Franklin Gutierrez a year behind him and only Coco Crisp in front of him, the time is now for Grady to get a long extended shot in center. Sizemore’s arm is his only real weakness, and the reason he might move over to left when Matt Lawton departs. This time next year, it’s very possible to see Victor Martinez, Brandon Phillips, Jhonny Peralta, and Grady Sizemore playing up the middle in Cleveland, with all four 25 or younger.

may be rotated to vary the tensioning and length of the spokes 32 so as to maintain the entire wheel dynamically balanced as it rotates and to adjust the wheel whereby the discharge of water coming from nozzle 14 may be made more directly in alignment with the fin elements 10. It being contemplated that the waterwheel will be driven at very high speeds, the balancing and alignment thereof become critical. The inner wheel unit 29 may be similar to a bicycle type wheel structure.
The fin elements 10 are illustrated as including a radially extending plate member 10a and an inclined flange portion 10b which entraps impinging water against the radial element 10a for capturing the maximum force of the water thereagainst. The fin elements may be attached to rim 34 in any suitable manner such as welding 20 is driven by means of an electrical motor 45 through shaft 45a which is powered by a suitable DC power source 46 such as an individual or series arrangement of plural DC storage batteries connected to the motor by means of a manual switch S1. In FIG. 4, it will be noted that the power source 46 may be connected to the output terminal E of generator 22 which includes a conventional AC to DC converter 48 to convert the output of the generator to direct current whereby the electrical output of the waterwheel may be used to recharge the DC power source 46. This provides a means by which the power source 46 may be regenerated by charging when the load on main output terminal D of the electrical generator is low. For this purpose, a switch S2 is provided for selectively connecting the converted output to battery 46 through terminal E. Terminal D includes a conventional voltage converter 50 for converting the generator output at D to a standard household voltage D, such as a step-up or step-down transformer as the case shall be, Switch S2 may be manual or automatic, load sensing switching may be employed.
As illustrated in FIG. 5, nozzle means 14 includes a cap 14a affixed to a terminal end of a straight section of conduit 21 and includes end-plate 14b perpendicular to the cylindrical sidewall of conduit 21 which abruptly compacts water flowing therethrough and allows a discharge through reduced central aperture 14c. It has been found that the abrupt compaction against 14b affords a discharge at 14c in the form of a solid stream of water which is devoid of air. The presence of air tending to diffuse a water stream into a spray diminishes the force of water against the waterwheel944,407, filed Dec. 22, 1986, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,789,972.
This, particularly to magnetooptic recording.
UK Patent Application GB No. 2,101,793 shows a typical magnetooptic recorder wherein the recording magnetic field is supplied by a electromagnetic coil 2' with a recording laser heating the magnetooptic coating for effecting the recording. This patent application teaches that a recorded control signal indicates whether or not the information recorded on the medium may be erased. It is pointed out that the arbitrary erasure direction is constant throughout the record medium. European Application publication No. 0,153,676 published Sept. 4, 1985 teaches that the leakage magnetic field of an actuator moving a head is in the same sense as the erasure direction of the recording medium. This patent is cited to show the importance of maintaining the direction of the erasure field for ensuring integrity of the recording. USSR Patent No. 369,613, May 25, 1973 shows a line magnetic recording method. The method is based upon a sequential effect of a magnetic carrier on a single pole erasing pulses and recording pulses of opposite polarity, i.e., the arbitrary definition mentioned above. The patent goes on to say that with a simultaneous reduction of the width of the reverse magnetizable zone of the magnetic carrier, the quality of the recording can be improved, i.e.,carrier is reduced independently of the value of the erasing and recording pulses. The constants which effect consecutive amplitudes of the erasing pulses and change them alternately according to a value which is a function of the level of recordable signal. The recording head consists of a conductor with a photoconducting plate having an optical system which includes a light flux. Here the electric fields combine with the light flux to perform a recording but follow the arbitrary definition of erasure and information as set forth above.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,412,264 is a further example of using arbitrarily-defined erasure and recording directions. U.S. Pat. No. 4,539,662 is another example of a magnetooptic recorder. In the latter patent, a recording track erasure direction is of opposite polarity to the remanent magnetization of

I hope all of you out there reading this are having a wonderful Christmas Day!  While I'm enjoying the holiday with loved ones, here's a scheduled recipe post to tide you over!  :)
I'm always on the look out for holiday recipes that can be turned into traditional staples each year.  And if I listen to my audience properly (AKA the people I feed!), this recipe is absolutely a keeper!
It's Paula Deen to the rescue this time for me, haha.  She certainly does know her good southern cooking!  Mr. L could not stop eating this and we almost couldn't tear away any leftovers from one of our friends on Thanksgiving, so I did what any sensible person would do -- I made another, and then two more after that!  If you decide to give this recipe a try, let me just go ahead and tell you to at least make a double batch because one pie will be gone in a flash!
Recipe courtesy of Food Network and Paula Deen
2 cups peeled, cooked sweet potatoes (cover your potatoes with water and boil for around 45 minutes and then peel)
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (my addition!)
Using a mixer, combine the potatoes, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, salt, and the three spices.  Mix thoroughly, making sure to break up any chunks of potatoes that may still be intact.
Add in the cup of milk and continue to mix until well incorporated.
Pour the filling into your pie crust and bake at 350 degrees for around 35 to 45 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean (I've found 40 minutes to be just about perfect for my oven).  Pull out of the oven and allow to cool on a wire baking rack.
You also have the option of adding a meringue to the top of the pie like the original recipe says to do, but I opt to leave it off and keep a can of whipped cream handy for a quick and easy topping.
What's one of your favorite holiday pies?


Netflix's hit series caricatures and stereotypes its way through faith.
Here’s how the first season of Netflix’s new show, “Orange is the New Black,” ends—so stop reading here if you don’t want to know: Piper Chapman, an upper-middle-class Smith graduate who has found herself in prison, is sitting in the chapel watching the inmates’ Christmas pageant, listening to “Amazing Grace.” Her life—both inside and outside of prison—has fallen apart. She has lost all of her friends. Another inmate, a religious zealot nicknamed Pennsatucky, is trying to murder her.
A little after “Amazing Grace,” Chapman is overcome with despair and runs outside. Pennsatucky pursues her and attacks her with—of all things—a cross. Chapman strikes back and pounds Pennsatucky into the ground, beating her for all appearances to death. A choir cheerily sings “O Come, All Ye Faithful” and the show cuts to credits. Have fun waiting for season two, everybody.
It’s an ending that, in addition to being brutal (and brilliant), highlights the show’s incoherent approach to religion. “Amazing Grace” is played against the hopelessness of the prison. One character declares herself “an Angel of the Lord” and tries to stab another to death with a cross. These moments are heavy with intimations of greater meaning, yet they never quite seem to mean anything at all.
Much of this incoherence derives from Pennsatucky’s character and place as the show’s main antagonist. Uneducated, poor, violent, and passionately committed to a charismatic fundamentalism, Pennsatucky concentrates all the fears of the secular upper-class into one terrifying caricature.
She is in prison for shooting an abortion doctor, and is a pro-life hero for it. But she shot the doctor because, after getting her fifth abortion, the doctor made a quip at her expense: “We should give you a punch card, get the sixth one free.” Pennsatucky’s religious belief was initially faked in order to gain a more lenient sentence, but at some point her fake faith became real. We’re never really told how or why that happened, even though genuine faith arising from such a cynical beginning would represent something rather surprising.
No other character is as flat or lacking in humanizing qualities, in a cast that includes a predatory corrections officer who extorts sex from inmates and sells them drugs. In fact, Pennsatucky is such an aggressively terrible character that even the Onion AV Club, when reviewing the show, singled her out as its big weak spot. As the show moves toward more abstract questions of justice and punishment in its final episodes, the conflict between Piper and Pennsatucky becomes uglier and more explicitly religious: Pennsatucky becomes murderous when Piper refuses to be baptized by saying, “I believe in science” and rejecting the comfort Piper believes religion provides.
Even though Pennsatucky is entirely defined by her religion, her faith is neither well-understood nor well-drawn. In one scene, for instance, she speculates about how aborted babies will go to heaven, despite not having received the sacrament of baptism. But that’s the very sort of technical concern that would be unlikely to appeal to a character of Pennsatucky’s vaguely Pentecostal background. There’s a Catholic nun in the prison, too, so why not give that line to her, where it might actually make sense?
In another scene, Pennsatucky explains the difference between the “spiritual” rapture and the “physical” rapture, a concept of baffling obscurity. It turns out to be a Harold Camping joke. Which is a pretty good description of Pennsatucky: she’s a Harold Camping joke. Indeed, Pennsatucky is every possible negative stereotype about rural Christians brought to life, even if those stereotypes don’t hang together.
If she were merely a background annoyance, all of these flaws could be waved away. But Pennsatucky Chapman herself. It’s the conflict between Pennsatucky and Chapman that gives the show its plot, and the final episodes revolve almost entirely around that conflict—a conflict that does, in the end, come down to religion.
So why would the writers pay so little attention to this part of the show, and then hang so much on it? The answer is probably that nobody behind “Orange is the New Black” was writing for an audience that might be religious, or even religiously informed. The show is not really meant for Pennsatucky, or even anybody who might know her.
Instead, the show seems aimed at an audience of Piper Chapmans: upper-middle-class, very educated, largely secular. They aren’t friends with Pennsatucky; they don’t know anybody like her. Pennsatucky might be their waitress, or sell them some snacks at a gas station. But that’s about as close as their world and hers will ever come to touching. So it doesn’t matter, really, that none of these things about Pennsatucky make sense. They aren’t meant to make sense. They’re meant to be frightening.
What makes Pennsatucky so threatening, as a character, is not even necessarily her religious belief as much as her lack of education.     So stupid, she mixes up the first and third amendments.
You might notice that none of these are signs of actual stupidity. They are signs of class and education. And yet, an uneducated nature here is a kind of moral failing—the prison library is always there, and practically every other character reads, but Pennsatucky sticks to her Bible. She refuses to try and raise herself up in a comprehensible manner. And that refusal, too, makes her frightening.
“Orange is the New Black” tries to have it both ways with religion: it depends heavily on the residual weight that religion’s cultural trappings can give a scene or a conversation. Most of the important scenes are set in the prison chapel. “Amazing Grace” is heavily leaned upon. The show opens with Chapman talking about how much she likes to take baths and become clean, strongly evoking baptism. Talking about justice simply can be dry, but talking about whether or not there is a God who dispenses justice is more dramatically interesting. So it relies heavily on that intellectual and cultural inheritance.
But the show is not interested in the substance of that inheritance, since its society is essentially secular. There’s no religion represented in the show that’s not a kind of Christianity—there are Jewish characters, but they’re entirely secular—because religion is just something that exists to oppose science, a psychological force for comfort that disguises facts, a kind of refusal to be educated. There’s no serious engagement with anything a person might really believe. Actual faith is in some sense beyond engagement: there’s just the nun, who is barely in the show, and the zealot, who’s barely a human being. The religious symbols that it does choose to use are almost entirely emptied of meaning through artistic neglect.
Don’t get me wrong: “Orange is the New Black” is a good show. It has a great deal to say about race and gender, and is otherwise sensitively written. But it could be a great show, and the distance between “good” and “great” is hard to ignore. Still, there will be another season; we’ll hold out hope, and perhaps say a prayer that “Orange is the New Black” can yet be saved.d a Junior Fellow at First Things.

The home system aims to help solve issues particularly around memory loss.
A second feature locates misplaced items using a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tag attached to it. Another feature is the wireless connection to home cooking appliances that regularly alerts the user whilst the appliance is still on. If an alert is not responded to, a warning text gets sent to a next of kin.
Paisley explained to The James Dyson Foundation that the designing of the home hub was done as a major project as one of his final year modules.

7 steps on how to acquire a land property
Buying land, either for your own use or as an investment, can be a complex process, especially if you're unfamiliar with how these types of real estate purchases are conducted. While buying a vacant lot of land frees you from the hassles associated with home inspections and repairs, there are other issues you will need to address. Familiarizing yourself with the process of buying land can help you avoid many costly pitfalls.
Find Potential Plots
You might already know that most of the land in the United States has already been developed, especially when looking near towns and cities. This means there are few plots of land in comparison to land that already has structures of some kind. Among those plots of land, even fewer are on the market at any one time. For this reason, you mayparcels of land to suit your needs. When you work with an agent who makes use of Realestate CRM Arosoft software, you'll have access to the latest properties. Your agent can use computer software and online resources to help you find the types of properties you're looking for in a shorter period of time.
Since you're not concerned with the number of bedrooms, full baths, and the other concerns that go into buying a home, you might think that buying land is a little easier. This is certainly true, but that doesn't mean it's unnecessary to tour the land yourself. In fact, you may have to conduct a deeper examination of the land to ensure this is the right parcel for you. For instance, if the land is away from the city, there may be farms nearby and, while that may sound nice, keep in mind that this means a large population of livestock. If you plan to build a home on the property, will you and your family be able to tolerate the sounds and odors that accompany live animals? Is the property near railroad tracks, or near an airport? Just as you would do in buying a home, it may be wise to visit the landdetermine what other environmental factors may affect your decision to buy.
Research the Plot of Land
Even after you have visited the plot of land yourself, there is still more to be done in determining the quality of the land. For instance, is there access to utilities nearby? If not, you may end up having to pay to have power lines, sewer lines, and gas pipes laid out to meet your property. It's also important to make sure there's access to your property from the road. Some plots of land are situated between other properties and the nearest road, which may mean having to pay other landowners for permission to cross their property. Surveys and deed searches will help you avoid these problems ahead of time.
Check into the Zoning Regulations
Unless you're just going to use the land for camping or growing a garden, you'll probably want to make plans for development. This means checking into the zoning laws that affect the area. If the area isn't zoned for the type of structure you plan to build, you may need to apply for a special permit. While this may not be a considerable expense, it will require your attention before you start making any specific plans.
At some point, you'll be ready to make an offer on the land. Even if the asking price falls within your budget, it's wise to negotiate for a lower price. Especially in a buyer's market, it makes sense to try to buy land at a discount. The less you pay for the land, the more money you'll be making on your investment. Even if you plan to build a home to live in, saving money on the land purchase will help you cut your overall costs. Every little bit you can save will help you on the total cost of your project.
Paying for Your Land
Once you've determined this plot of land is a good investment, you'll begin the purchase of the property. All of your hard work has paid off, but you're not out of the woods yet. Have you determined how you'll pay for the land? If you considered financing the purchase, you may want to rethink your options. Obtaining financing to buy a plot of land is often far more difficult than getting a regular home loan. This is largely because lenders know you'll likely be financing the construction of a home or other building. The complexities involved in this process lead many people to simply pay cash for the land and, since land costs less than regular home purchases, it's also much more feasible. Still, there are lenders willing to finance these types of transactions, if you can meet the credit qualifications.
Closing on the Land Purchase Transaction
Just like buying a house, there's a closing process to buying a plot of land. By this point, you should have done all of your due diligence and all that's left is the formality of paperwork. This is also the time at which the Transfer of Land should be finalized. This is an important step to consider, because this is a document that gives you the ownership rights to the land. Upon completing the closing, the land will be yours. Aside from property taxes, you should have no further expenses until you begin to develop the property.
When you're ready to begin looking for a piece of land, keeping these steps in mind can help you. A familiarity with this process will help you get through the land purchase more efficiently, so you can keep your spending down. By the time the transaction is complete, you may have saved some money and you'll be free to use the land however you choose.

Welcome to the Breezy Bee Blog!
Full disclosure: I’m not sure what I’m doing. I’ve had a lot of changes recently, and decided to take advantage of some free time to start my first blog.
Be prepared for a variety of topics to keep up with my scatter brain. You can also expect puns, journaling, crochet, cat pics, and more.
Starting with the cat pics right away. Meet my paw-tner Jinx. She’ll be the one distracting me from actually blogging. If there are any delays please blame her.
That’s all for now! I’ll get some real content added soon!


I would like to share just a few stories that will give you a good sense of what can happen if you leave just a small space open for possibilities. I have found that creating a safe space for exploration and then approaching each situation without expectation of what might happen, many times you will be amazed by the results.
Our pre-conceived beliefs and judgments are sometimes our biggest hindrance to change. Being open to new ideas and results is the first step in realizing them. Tapping is a great tool for not only working on problems and symptoms but on the beliefs we hold around those problems or symptoms.
Here are some examples of real-life people who have moved forward using EFT:
1. She lived with a fear of leaving her house:
After several sessions of EFT, she was feeling confident that she had eliminated this problem. She happened to take her car in for some repair work and the person who worked on it happened to be smoking a cigar. She was amazed how she had no reaction—no shortness of breath, no feelings of panic that she had previously experienced. Marie has also recently re-hired me to do some business coaching, and I asked her about the cigar smoke. She said, “Nope not an issue anymore at all.”
A young woman came to me who had been smoking for 10 years and really wanted to be smoke-free. We did a combination of EFT and some hypnosis and she was able to stop after just 3 sessions and has been smoke-free for over 10 years. The EFT not only helped with reducing the nicotine cravings, but it calmed her anxiety, which was part of the reason she began smoking.

Subject: Please join one of the NABC 2017 organinzing committes, Rakhi Gifts
Dated: Jul 31, 2016
NABC 2016 held in New York is now over. That means the very next NABC 2017 is in Santa Clara. And it is completely up to us to make this a roaring success.
Organinsing the North American Bengali Conference is a huge affair, and several volunteers are needed to coordinate everything. Prabasi has had a good reputation of hosting a well organized NABC and the past successes of 1999 and 2009 are good proof of that. This year's NABC is going to be even bigger, thus we need more involvment from the community to make it run smoothly as it has in the past.
Since we sent the last mail about joining the key committees, we have received many applications and have initiated work on all fronts. We still need volunteers to add to our group.
Please send your names with your desire to join any of these committees by sending an email to the appropriate email address:
The regist able to register for the conference - either from the website or manually, receive timely information about attending the conference, and receive their badges and welcome packets as soon as they arrive. It involves a lot of technology knowledge as well - probably the most among all areas. People who want to exercise their skills in web-service development, web-site integration (for hotels), web-site development, databases, Paypal eCommerce integration, back-end processing, analytics, scheduling of programs, badge printing, besides some manual backend work towards the end like packing envelopes are requested to send their interest to join.registration@nabc2017.com
The NABC 2017 website is the face of NABC to the world, thus it needs to be really savvy and represent everything that Silicon Valley is famous for. The current web-site needs to be revamped to bring it up to that level. We are looking for people who are both artistically and technologically inclined. The work involves knowledge about using a Content Management System (CMS), Photo editing, CSS3 stylesheets, some PHP programming, web-service integration, HTML5 programming, eCommerce enablement using Paypal, script writing using web-services for mass-mail and reporting. People who have this knowledge, or are willing to learn it are requested to send their request to join.website@nabc2017.com.
A conference like NABC has a budget of a couple of million dollars. Thus fund-raising is one of the key committees whose sole purpose is to ensure that we have enough funds to pay for the facilities and services for the entire conference. People who have a knack for sales, have a good network of friends in business, are good event organizers may be good candidates for this job. Please send your request to: join.fundraising@nabc2017.com
We all know that NABC is really a cultural conference, so a good choice of artists is really the key factor in attracting a good audience. The cultural commitee is responsible for choosing the artists, scheduling their programs and communicating with the artists or their representatives, arrange for their travel and ensure that they are well-informed about the program schedule during their arrivcommittee please send your request to join.cultural@nabc2017.com
The marketing committee's job is to establish the NABC 2017 brand among its attendees, donors, sponsors and artists. They create the complete brand image that is meant to attract people to attend the conference or pay money as a donor or sponsor. The marketing group may send mass emails to potential attendees or registered users notifying them of key attractions. Creating, printing and distributing brochures to artists, sponsors and donors are key parts of the job. If you are interested in joining, then please send your request to join.marketing@nabc2017.com
Even though NABC is mainly a cultural conference, we have found that the business forum is an added attraction for people who come to the Silicon Valley and have an interest in growing their technology-related business here or just want to know what is the latest and greatest happening here. Thus the business forum is a conference within a conference. It brings in additional revenue for NABC this way. This committee is responsible for deciding the content for the business forum, approaching the speakers of various companies, reqesting sponsorships, scheduling the conference and informing the attendees who may participate in the conference. To join this committee please send your request to join.businessforum@nabc2017.com
iejoin.hospitality@nabc2017.com
Feeding 6000 people in a large conference of this nature is a real challenge. In the past conference, we were able to do this very efficiently and got rave reviews from all attendees. We intend to keep the same tradition this year too, but we face too many challenges because of our location. This committee is responsible for deciding the menu, arranging the vendors who will supply food for three days of the conference, arrange a spot where food will be served, ensure that people are organized during the conference when receiving food and also manage food coupons and paymentjoin.food@nabc2017.com
Arranging hotels, setting up the conference center for artists (including stage), working with vendors for all rental equipment (lights, sound), setting up the registration area before the conference are all examples of tasks that the facility committee needs to do. The facility committee needs to work in conjunction with all other committees to ensure that their needs are met. It may also include working with the artitsts themselves to understand their special requirements, make judgement calls whether this can be satisfied or not and make deciou request to: join.facility@nabc2017.com
The youth program was started in NABC to encourage the second generation to mingle with each other on their own plane. This is yet another example of a conference within a conference. They need to set up their own section of the web-site, communicate directly with attendees who are participating, arrange for local tours, set up their own meet-and-greet sessions, print and distribute T-shirts or any other activity that is of interest to young adu join.youth@nabc2017.com. You need to be under 25 years of age to join this committee.

But why this scene, which is so bleak, so empty?
I loved what Zola said about Pissaro’s painting!


Masthead light-white, lighting sector, 225° (20 points) shall be set at foremast at a height of not less than 6.1 m above the deck (if the width of a vessel more than 6.1 m above the hull, but no higher than 12.19 m) so as to be visible right on the nose and 112°, 5 right and left.

This Lagrein comes from Gries, a pleasant district of Bozen (Bolzano), the capital of South Tyrol. It grows on deep and well aerated gravel soils.
Lagrein, aged in oaken barrels, is a strong and elegant wine with an unmistakable bitter berry scent and a likeable flavor of vanilla and violets. It goes well with all robust dishes, especially with traditional South Tyrolean cuisine, game, red meats and savory cheeses.

As we near 2015 I've been reflecting on the past year. For me this year has been one of many changes. In Autumn 2013a degree to become a Youth Worker!
our God is gracious!
For me, I have learnt that the actions I take in my life are what reflect my love for God. He has used me in so many ways this last year, but I had to choose to take the risk first. He requires that of us.
As we come to the wonderful celebration of Christmas we see others taking risks for God. Mary, taking a risk that she might be outcast by her family, left alone to be a teenage mum. Joseph, taking a risk to marry Mary even though she was pregnant and it wasn't his, taking a risk to be an earthly father to the King of Kings.
I encourage you to be courageous, ask God to show you what he's calling you to do and be bold and take that risky step. I think God took the biggest risk of all, sending Jesus to earth, knowing that even though he was Love incarnate, he would be rejected by so many.. but God chose to do that anyway. When we consider this maybe we might find it easier to take a step of faith for God.


New BHS after-school bus policy spelled out
I want to take the opportunity in this week’s column to explain a new procedure that is being implemented this week at Brockton High regarding our after-school buses.
At Brockton High, we are pleased that so many of ournd even more pleased that we are able to offer after-school bus transportation at no cost to our families. Many communities have instituted fees for transportation, athletics, and extracurricular activities; fortunately Brockton has not done so.
This has allowed thousands of our students to participate in after-school programs. enerally more successful academically.
We have buses that take our students home at our regular 2 p.m. dismissal for students who live beyond two miles. And we are still able to offer late buses that arrive at BHS at 3:45 for students who have been involved in after-school activities who live beyond the two miles.
Because those late buses are limited in number, though, we must ensure that only those students who are staying after school to receive extra help or participate in after-school activities are using the buses.
Unfortunately, some of our students have been abusing the late-bus privilege, even leaving school grounds to eat or shop and then returning to get one of our free late buses instead of using the city BAT buses. The result is that some of our students who have been staying late to work with their teachers or participate in our clubs or intramural activities have been unable to get on the late buses because of the overcrowding. That issue has caused us to implement this new policy requiring late-bus passes.
To address this overcrowding problem and improve our after-school safety, supervision and security, we have implemented a new late bus pass policy this week and we need our parents’ help on this. Students will only be allowed onto our late buses with a new “Late Bus Pass.”
These “Late Bus Passes” are free. Students must pick up a “Late Bus Pass” from their teacher for whom they are staying after school, whether for extra help, intramurals, clubs or detention. They can not get these passes in advance; they will receive the pass only after they have completed their after-school activity or obligation.
When students are participating in our after-school programs, they are welcome to be staying. If the students do not have a reason to be staying after school, they need to head home.
We also need our parents’ help and cooperation on picking up your child from Brockton High. Please note that all pickups should be in front of the main office. We have supervision in place after school in the Red Cafeteria, and we have asked students waiting for their late buses or for their parents to pick them up to wait in the Red. That way we can appropriately supervise your children.
We hope that this new pass policy will be a much fairer system to our students and an improvement in our after-school supervision and security.

s from our Soldier’s Angels sponsor, Laura Garrity“The items we receive from Soldier’s Angels, and our sponsors back home, really help us to better provide for the Afghans, beyond what we're prepared to do medically,” Rush said.
Sgt. Billy Hill, a cable systems installer and maintainer with TF Duke, who also serves as his company retention officer, traveled from FOB Salerno, for the training. “We learned basic info to qualify a Soldier for re-enlistment, how to counsel Soldiers on re-enlistment options, how to compute a Soldier’s bonus, and career progression.” said Hill.Hill said his job is to support the bn. career counsellor, and keep his command team informed of who is in their reenlistment window, as well as reenlistment statistics. He said this training was important, because he must be knowledgeable in order to give the right info to Soldiers, especially with the Army starting to downsize.
CAMP LEATHERNECK, Helmand province -- He comes from a small town in the Buckeye State. He had no real direction growing up, and spent most of his days drawing and playing his 6-string guitar, until a simple decision to take a trip to a recruiter’s office, changed his life forever.Jago said he remembers just wanting a change of pace, Bn, 2nd Marine Regt, 2nd MarDiv, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C. He said he learned many of his leadership skills through 3 4 2 Inf. Squad Leader Course, where he learned to apply his leadership to a squad — a team of 12 Marines directed by the squad leader. Jago said it was his refresher course before deploying for a 2nd tour to Iraq in 2008.
Jago said that making the transition from serving in an inf. co. for 8 years, to joining a supporting HQ in which a majority of the Marines were not infantrymen, was a challenge for him initially. However, Master Sgt. Chad McKee said he disagrees and believes Jago has done nothing but good things for the div.“He was brought up in the Corps with a certain leadership style and certain philosophy, and it’s 100% all the time until the job gets done,” said McKee, the ops chief for the Ops Section, 2nd MarDiv (Fwd). McKee also said that it was Jago’s enthusiasm and dependability as a hard-charging sgt. that placed him above the rest of his peers. “I know that if I need something done and I tell him to do it, it gets done,” added McKee. “He’s by far easily ready for the next rank of staff sgt.”Jago said that he knows he's out of his comfort zone in the supporting division HQ, but hopes to one day return to the life of an infantry Marine in a company. Until then, he said that he does his best everyday, until the job is done. “I pride myself on producing results, and if I’m given a task, I get it done,” said Jago. “Until my job here is done, I’m going to do my best.”
Sgt. Jago is entrusted with keeping track of millions of dollars worth of gear and equipment used on a daily basis, in the combat ops center, for the div.

Ministry of Interior IFP perform a riot control demo, in the Civil Disorder Mgt. (CDM) course, at Camp Dublin, Aug 20.
BAGHDAD – One hundred IP graduated from the CDM course at Camp Dublin, Victory Base Complex, Aug. 23. Instructed by IP officers and mentored by the NATO Training Mission - Iraq (NTM-I), Carabinieri, Italy’s paramilitary training unit, the federal police trainees learn methods of crowd and riot control.
“The CDM course is one of the first courses that the IP arranged themselves,” said Col. Sergio Di Rosalia, cmdr. of the NTM- I Italian Carabinieri unit. “The Carabinieri’s operational emphasis is on mentoring the training.”In a demo of the skills acquired during the 4-week training, a troop of police travel tightly as an element - shields held high, batons banging in unison, creating a wall against the mock civil uprising ahead. As the crowd’s demeanor grows more violent, the armed, mounted unit moves forward to provide apprehension and brings the riot to an end. Out of breath from exertion in the extreme heat of the mid-day sun, the trainees congratulate each other on the well-executed movement. “We're getting better at reacting together,” said one of the trainees, satisfied with the progress of his plt. "The police trainees learn how to use riot-control equipment, and how to work as an element," said Lt. Augusto Sorvillo, cmdr. of the Italian Carabinieri tactical training plt. “Only if there is a violent reaction from a crowd, do they practice an escalation of force,” said Sorvillo. "The IP are trained to communicate and negotiate first, and determine whether more force is necessary," Sorvillo said. They're taught ground movement for the purpose of controlling a crowd, to prevent a riot from occurring. During this time of transition the frequency of civil unrest may increase. However, Iraq’s effort to maintain stability is increased, due to graduates of this course. The CDM course helps IP protect civilian’s lives from being disrupted negatively, and will continue to be offered at Camp Dublin.

Brazos Company issued a 3-year, 6%, note payable for $75,000 on January 1, 2013. The note...
 requires that Brazos make equal payments to principal on December 31 each year, plus principal on the unpaid balance. What amount of interest expense will Brazos Company report for 2014?
A note payable is a promissory note in writing to pay the amount borrowed along with interest on a specified date in the future. Interest expense is a cost paid by the company to use the amount borrowed for a specified time period and if the loan or the note requires fixed principal repayments each year, then the interest expense decreases each period because a portion of principal amount is repaid each year.
Correct answer: Option b) $3,000.
Each year $25,000 ($75,000 / 3) is repaid for principal along with interest on unpaid balance.
The principal balance will be $50,000 as $25,000 should have been paid on December 31, 2013.
Hence, interest expense will be calculated on the unpaid balance of $50,000.

YES on Prop. 1 and NO on Prop. 2
By Dawn R. Rauwolf
I
Our new library, built in the Copper Ridge area would be close to the Rec. Center, the Tongass School of Arts and Sciences, The Charter School, the new aquatic center, the Rainbird Trail and KRBD. I have no problem with this site. This site seems like it could provide plenty of uncramped space for a superb one-story library, with outdoor spaces around the building and plenty of room for parking. And as far as this site being in a rock pit... well, that's fine with me too. There are so many neighborhoods and buildings built in old rock pits in this town and they have all fared well. We have thrived and survived right next to exposed rock. And we will continue to do so - isn't that right Ketchikan?
I trust the folks who we have allowed to be in charge of this process. I trust the Friends of the Library, the Foraker Group, and the Library Feasibility Committee.
Vote YES on Prop. 1 and NO on Prop. 2.

Nigel Farage eyes seat at Brexit negotiation table
He described Theresa May’s current proposed deal as a ‘new European treaty’.

He saidwhich has already suffered three defeats in Parliament, is a “new European treaty”.
But asked if he wants to be prime minister, he added: “No, not particularly.”
Speaking on BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show, Mr Farage said: “We’ve got a two-party system that now serves nothing but itself.
“What I do want to see from this European election, if we can win these elections, absolutely I’m going to demand that Brexit Party MEPs become part of the Government negotiating team and we can perhaps talk some sense into them.”
