Peaches For Life
Peaches come in a variety of colors, and depending on where they were grown, it's possible for them to have a different flavor also. For example golden, white and red colored peaches are all different from one another. Golden colored peaches are a summertime favorite. This variety is canned most often. The golden peaches have an orange and pink outer skin while the inner flesh is a yellow. White colored peaches are less acidic and tend to be sweeter than their golden counterpart. White peaches originated in Asia, and their sweeter taste is due to the dominant "honey gene". The outer skin is a mix of pink and red, while the inner flesh is white like an apple. A third and arguably the "finest" variety of peach comes from France. The "peches de vigne" or vineyard peach, has a combination of grey, red, and brown outer skin with a predominantly red inner flesh. While it may not be the most attractive to look at, the taste is said to be superb. The "peches de vigne" is also called, "peche sanguine" or blood peach.
Generally, good peaches have a fragrant aroma, are bright and vivid in color, with a well-defined cleft. Typically, peaches have a rosy blush to their skin. This is an inherent trait though, not an indicator of ripeness. Avoid peaches that have any green on their skin. This indicates immaturity when it was picked. An immature peach will never fully ripen. Once the peach is taken from the branch, the sugar production ceases immediately. Placing a peach in a paper bag will cause it to soften over the next few days, making it more enjoyable. When looking for a ripe peach, find one that is firm, not hard, it should yield when lightly squeezed, but not be soft or mushy.
Peaches are a healthy snack, averaging only 37 calories. They're sweet and juicy, and able to satisfy a sweet tooth craving. Similarly to apples, a fresh cut peach will begin to brown, oxidize, once exposed to air. A simple remedy is to rinse the peach after cutting, then add a few drops of lemon to the exposed area. The lemon juice acts as a barrier, preventing further oxidation.
Peaches are one of the tastiest fruits around, they have a fantastic combination of sweetness and tenderness that causes them to stand out among other fruits. If you're feeling inspired to cook, bake or purée, try these ultra delicious peach inspired recipes!

In Denmark a large number of people from several countries in the eastern part of Europe sits on the streets in Denmark where they beg money from people passing by if they do not use the time doing crime instead.
Why do the governments in these countries not do something to keep their citizens home?
They are giving all the people from these countries a bad reputation. Danes and tourist in Denmark do now connect every citizen from these countries with beggars.
There are even some Danes who are working to protest this by listing firms who have invested in the eastern part of Europe putting pressure on the firms to relocate jobs back to Denmark.
When Denmark allow some Danes to go abroad and the Danes present Denmark in a poor manner, Denmark do something to stop it.
Some years ago a large number of students went to Prague to do what little there is to do down there. The students came in number of 10,000 where they started to binge-drink as they do in Denmark. The behavior which is normal in Denmark shocked the local citizens and people in Denmark decided to stop this so the reputation of Denmark in general would not suffer.
So the travel agencies were fined huge fines because they showed smiling young Danes on their websites. A smile from a Dane is only expected when they drink. Otherwise Danes are all business. Secondly Danes made the "Remain home" campaigns. As result there are no longer a massive number of Danes traveling to Prague. The reputation of Denmark was saved.
So we are asking ourselves. Are the governments in Poland, the Czech republic, Hungary and Romania not caring about their reputation? Why are they not harassing the families of the beggars sending a signal to keep them at home?
The Danes will introduce harsher punishment and the shelters will be secured with systems which allows people in if they have Danish passports only hoping that the coming winter will either force some of the beggars home or kill them off.
It will fix part of the problem but the Danish population are looking at the governments in these countries asking themselves. Do you care about your reputation and your people at all?

Invictus has been bigged up all over Twitter and You Tube and i do love me a bit of time travel so im hoping i'll enjoy that.
The Ada Lovelace book is because I wanted to find out more about her, I mean imagine being Byron's daughter and being involved with something so modern and forward thinking as computers! in Victorian times!
I couldnt resist the Potion diaries 2 & 3 even though i havent read book 1 yet. They are an easy but fun read and im sure ill enjoy binging on them sometime in the future.
Finally to get a copy of The Glass Town Game by Catherynne M Valente is so fab. It wasnt available in the UK when it first came out and considering its based around The Brontes and the fictional world they created how could I not get it! Oh and last but not least Radiance also by the wonderful Cathrynne was a no brainer really it looks to be an unusual type of book. Such a shame about the awful cover design though.

Do you know The Piano Man? What you don't know about a Woodlands favorite, musician Russell Boyd
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas – Native Texan Russell Boyd has two sides to his music – he's "The Piano Man" and an original singer/songwriter with his own band. Both of these bring out his best, but for different reasons.
You can catch the piano-man version of Boyd at 7:30 p.m. Saturday June 30 at GenuWine in Magnolia/The Woodlands, or the original, acoustic version of Boyd at 9:30 p.m. Saturday July 7 at the Red Brick Tavern in Conroe.
Meanwhile, here's what he had to say during an interview with Woodlands Online.
WOL: What do you enjoy about being The Piano Man?
RB: I started doing the piano bar thing when I was 22. It fits my personality very well because I know a lot of songs but I'm also kind of good at being funny and random. It's interactive -- we never know what we're going to do or say when we get there, and neither does the audience, so it's fun for all of us. It's Garth Brooks, Journey, Bon Jovi … all the songs people know and love. But I also have original stuff that I would love to let everyone know about.
(Editor's note: Boyd's single "The End of the World" was released on radio May 23.)
WOL: How did you get into music?
RB: I sort of played guitar as a teenager, and a lot of my friends played guitar as well. We would have a party and eight of us would play guitar and sing songs. But when I went to college (Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches) I was the only who played guitar. We would have little parties in our dorm room; I would play guitar. I was starting to write songs, but I also enjoyed playing songs people knew and liked. A friend of mine worked at a Mexican food restaurant, so I started playing acoustic there. I thought 'hey this is cool,' and started playing for a living. I quit whatever computer tech job I had and moved to Austin. I still wanted to do the piano bar thing, but I also started a rock band for my songs. It was called Dorkstar. We were trying to be like the Toadies or something. But that kind of music was dying and we didn't know it. That was when Nickelback was killing rock music.
(Editor's note: Not only am I Canadian, but also Albertan. Nickelback hails from Hanna, AB, and I love their music. But I'll forgive Russell for what he said.)
WOL: Who were your musical influences?
RB: When I was very small, it was Johnny Cash, the Beatles … those are the big ones that I love. Funny enough, in my song "The End of the World," I riff off Johnny Cash in the chorus, and I riff off the Beatles. So it comes full circle.
WOL: How did you become a musician?
RB: I wasn't a child prodigy or anything. I had to practice a lot. There's a Dave Grohl quote that basically says 'instead of doing these shows like The Voice or American Idol, you should get in you garage with a bunch of your friends and just suck until you don't suck anymore.' I think that's what we did.
WOL: You're also an author. What's up with that?
RB: I've been a book nerd since I was little. When I was in third grade, I sat in the back by the bookshelf, and instead of paying attention, I read The Chronicles of Narnia. I've always said I was going to write a novel. I started my first one 10 years ago. I still think it's pretty good, but I just re-wrote it because now that I've written two novels, I've learned a lot.
See Russell Boyd in action Saturday night at GenuWine. Tickets available online.

Himalayas Indian restaurant is a legendary place. It's been open since 1997 – which is quite a long life for Kyiv's restaurant scene. Formerly located on the main street of the city – on Kreschatik, it moved to its new home due to some organizational changes. Thank God this had no dramatic changing effect on the main thing there – food!
The portions are quite big, though it says 250 gr, it's better to order it to share. The prices vary between € 4 – € 8. Sometimes they don't have a bar list available, please don't be too disappointed, the beer and wine list is not their strong point. I like the hot and spicy lamb and paneer dishes, garlic bread and different dishes with minty sauces. Also they have a real clay tandoor, so you can enjoy authentic Indian tastes. It's not a café, it's a restaurant in the full sense of the word, a place where the Indian community of Kyiv meets.
It is easy to find – the Olympic Stadium can be a landmark for you, it's almost in front of it, on the same street, just a little further down.

1) Everyone has 5 minutes in their day - I could get off the computer for 5 minutes and do this
2) You don't have to be an Olympian to train like one - you don't need a fancy treadmill or machine to do the same drills that they do.
3) Just because you are a runner and are in shape doesn't mean that all of the core muscles are there. I know that I'm in shape and look fine, but still. It's something we need to work on intentionally. And that's the boat that I am in. Every year I swear up and down that this is the year that I work on core strength. And it happens for a week, and then goes caput. But hey, if I have extra incentive, I am getting married in less than 6 months (6 months!!) - let's get everything all toned and fabulous for the spring!
And I discovered after doing the workout that really, I have accumulated a series of strength workouts that I do, I can add in the core work too. I'll never have 6 pack abs, but the goal is to not have to do any "turbo-flex" when I run in the summer and totally rock a bikini with confidence.
In sum, game on.
Finally, thank you for all of the well wishes after the .US Road Racing Championships. It was such a great race, and gave me such a high. They finally released the finish pictures, so...
The abs may not be there yet, but the smile totally is.

How do you usually feel when you wash your face, brush your teeth or take a bath? It feels great – right? The same applies to your canine friend. A pet dog is just like any other child in your family, so you are bound to give it the best. After all, this furry companion has been human's friend for centuries for its unconditional love and loyalty that no other animal has been able to match up to.
Good grooming is the ultimate measure of the care that a dog receives from its owner. Have you ever found yourself flinching at the sight of an unkempt pet canine? Don't be the kind of dog owners who don't pay attention to their pets. Follow this comprehensive dog grooming guide for your pet.
What is The Importance of Grooming Your Dog?
Before diving into the particulars, let's look at why grooming is essential in the first place.
- It keeps the coat and skin healthy
Even the most basic grooming activity like brushing your dog's coat can go a long way in revitalizing its coat and skin. The brushing activity enhances blood flow to the skin and keeps it healthy. It also gets rid of foreign objects like parasites and pests that may be on the pet's coat.
- It helps monitor your pet's health
As you go over your dog's body during grooming, you will be able to see bruises, rashes, cuts, or any other irregularities that the pet might suffer from. Remember that timely detection of such issues is essential in ensuring that the problem does not get any worse because you will get immediate medical attention.
- It enhances love bonds
Grooming boosts emotional connection with your dog. As you groom your dog, you will be showering it with all the right attention. There is no better way of creating a special bond and shaping a loving relationship with your dog. This will boost your pet's emotional, mental and physical well-being.
- It keeps up the hygiene levels
Keeping your dog clean is an integral part of grooming. It will not just make your dog happy, but it will also keep your home hygienic. That way, you won't have to deal with the stinky dog smell, so, it is good for everyone.
- It promotes your dog's emotional and physical well-being
Nothing brings you physically closer to your dog than grooming does. Your pet will be happy to receive this exclusive treatment and will feel contented, calm and relaxed. What's more is that it will always look forward to these happy moments.
What Type of Coat Does Your Pet Have?
Before digging into pet grooming essentials, you ought to understand the type of coat that your dog is endowed with. Understanding the kind of coat will aid in proper grooming. Although all coats are made from the same fabric as human hair, a dog grows several hairs from one follicle, while for humans; a follicle grows one strand only. This abundance of fur helps the pet in regulating its body temperature.
A dog can either have a single coat or a double coat. A single coat has only the top part while a double coat has an undercoat and a top coat. The top coat has thick water-repelling protection hairs that guard the pet's skin. The undercoat keeps your dog warm during cold and harsh weather. Dogs usually shed the undercoat twice a year.
The coats also have varying textures, and knowing the feel will make grooming efficient.
- The medium coat – is an inch thick and rarely gets tangled. You can maintain it easily by brushing it weekly and bathing your pet once a month. Examples of dogs with this coat are the German shepherd and Border collie.
- The smooth coat – it is sleek and short, so, it should be brushed regularly. Examples are Beagle and Basset hound.
- The curly coat – it has curly hairs and is susceptible to getting tangled. It also suffers from dryness; thus making it hard to maintain. Examples include Irish water spaniel and Poodle
- The wiry coat – it usually has a coarse and rough texture and should be brushed and washed often. Examples are Brussels griffon and the Irish terrier
- The long coat – it is usually subdivided into elongated parts. They all show different characteristics, so, they require different handling.
How to Groom Your Dog
1. Bathing your dog
Bathing a dog is more than just placing it in a tub and cleaning it with soap; you will require the right tools for this. For instance, you need shampoo for dogs, shampoo for puppies and a conditioner. Make sure you have a rinsing tool and several drying towels.
Once everything is set, follow these steps:
- Before bathing your dog, use a slicker brush to untangle your dog's coat. If you skip this step, the tangles will get worse when the fur catches water.
- Avoid placing your pet into the tub, and instead, allow it to enter by itself. You can use treats to entice it if it is reluctant to get in.
- Once the dog gets into the tub, do not pour water on it immediately. Allow it to get used to the water sensation. Stroke its head smoothly, while avoiding the ears and eyes.
- Wet the dog before applying dog shampoo. Do this with a sponge or with your hands. Rub to spread the lather and cover the entire body with it, particularly the paws, anal and groin regions. Avoid leaving the shampoo for a long time. Rinse it off using lukewarm water, and ensure you get rid of all the shampoo, especially from the groins.
- You can condition the dog's coat. Apply a hypo allergic dog conditioner on the fur gently, just like you did when applying the shampoo. The type of conditioner you use will determine whether to rinse it off immediately or allow the conditioner to sit on the fur for a while. Whichever way, you should rinse the conditioner thoroughly.
- You may now remove the dog from the tub and wipe the excess water using your hands. Use cotton wool buds to clean the ears and use water to wash its face. Pat its body using a towel to dry the water; make sure not to use too much pressure.
- At this point your dog is clean enough, so, you can lead it away from the tub. Keep on drying its coat to get rid of all the water. You can utilize as many towels as you need. It's also okay to use a handheld dog dryer to dry the pet.
- Remember to give a treat to your dog to appreciate its good behavior. It's wise to reward at the end of the bathing session to make it associate completing the activity with a reward.
After such a warm and exciting bath time, your dog will be left feeling energetic. You may set a routine to give your pet a weekly bath unless the dog dirties itself. If you notice a skin condition on your pet's coat, make sure you consult a vet.
2. Brushing your dog
Brushing a dog does not just get rid of the dirt on the fur, but it also prevents it from shedding. Brushing enhances blood circulation and spreads natural oils on the coat. It also prevents tangling and reveals any injury or damage to the dog's skin. Most importantly, it breeds love and bonding with your pet.
Follow these steps to brush your dog correctly:
- Buy a good brush and make your dog used to it.
- Before you start brushing the dog, make sure that it is comfortable. Next, brush it slowly in the opposite direction of hair growth to get rid of tangles. Now, start brushing the fur in the direction of hair growth, starting from the back towards the front. When you do this, you will remove most of the dirt from the coat.
The frequency of brushing a dog depends on the type of coat. Here is a rough guide:
Short haired dogs – Brush once a week
Long coated dogs – Brush once a day or at least every other day
Thick coated dogs – Brush twice or thrice a week
Shedding dogs – Brush every day
Puppies – it's advisable for pet owners to train their puppies gradually to feel comfortable being brushed. This will help to make grooming efficient and helps prepare dog pets for physical veterinary examinations.
3. Clipping dog nails
Before you start clipping, you should first familiarize yourself with the basics. A dog's nail comprises if an outer and an inner nail. The outer nail is hard while the inner one is sensitive to the nail. You should only cut the outer nail and leave the inner one untouched. If you cut the inner part, you might hurt your dog, which might make it bleed.
Although your dog might not like clipping, it is an essential pet grooming activity. Unclipped nails might grow too long, making them break and result in pain and infection. Long nails could also compromise your canine friend's gait.
Follow these steps while at it:
- Make your dog comfortable first and slowly hold a paw at a time. Place the clipper around the nail and trim it at an angle of 45 degrees. Ensure you do not clip the inner nail.
- In case the nail splitters do not panic; it's normal. If this happens, use a nail file to shape it. File downwards along the edges of the nail.
- If the inner nail is damaged accidentally during the nail clipping activity and starts bleeding, apply some styptic powder to the nail and apply pressure. Do this until the bleeding stops. The powder might sting a little; thus keep the dog under watch.
- The dew claws are clipped last, but make sure you don't fail to cut them. If you fail to trim the claws, they might result in ingrown toenails.

4. Trimming hair
Besides brushing, some pet dogs will require regular hair trimming. You can ask your pet for guidance on how to trim your dog's hair safely.
Common parts that require hair trimming include:
- Hair that grows around the anus because it traps feces
- Hair around the eye area, especially if the hair obscures vision or causes irritation
- Hair around the lower jaw and chin as it traps food or helps to prevent chin and lip fold infections
- Areas around the place whether the hair mats tangle
- Regions where debris, such as burrs and grass are trapped in the hair
Follow these safety tips:
- Use blunt-nosed hair clippers
- Ask your vet for advice

5. Taking care of your dog's ears
Your pet dog's ears are sensitive, so, cleaning them might feel unnatural. For efficient cleaning of your dog's ears, make sure you have everything ready; including tweezers, a cleaning solution, hemostat, sterile cotton balls, and medicated dog powder.
Follow these tips when cleaning your dog's ears:
- The first step is to inspect the ears and check if any foreign objects are lodged in there. Use tweezers to remove the items gently. If you notice any redness, swelling or visible issues, talk to a vet.
- Look into the inner ear. If hairs block your view, remove them slowly with a dampened finger. Clear the hair inside the nose to about half an inch from the inner part of the ear. When removing the hair, apply medicated ear powder inside the ear and allow it to sit for a while. You can now pluck the hair using the tweezers and a hemostat. Pull them in the direction of the growth.
- If you want to remove the wax, use the kind of ear powder that will bind the excess wax and make it easy for you to remove the wax. Cotton balls and dog ear cleaning solution are also essential in removing excess wax. Avoid inserting any items into the ear canals for easy cleaning.
Cleaning a dog's ears is a sensitive operation that should be done infrequently. When washing your pet dog, make sure you do not allow water to enter the ears.
6. Caring for your dog's eyes
One thing that stands out about a dog's eyes is that they are durable. All the same, they should be looked after, especially those that have protruding eyes like the Boston terrier, Boxer, and Chihuahua.
Check out these tips for caring for dog's eyes:
- Mucus or gunk in the corner of the dog's eyes might result in an infection. That is why you should use quality eyewash to clean up the eyes and wipe using a damp washcloth.
- Overgrown hair around the eye might touch and infect it. Cut these hairs using a blunt-nosed scissors and trim the hair around the eyes carefully.
- Take care of long nails because the dog might damage its eyes while scratching or playing. Therefore, preventing the nails from growing too long by cutting them often is vital.
- Ensure that shampoo doesn't get into your dog's eyes when bathing it. You can cover the eyes when shampooing the head.
- Clean tear stains from your furry friend's eyes using a soft damp cloth. If you do not clear the stains for a long time, they could discolor a dog's coat. To do this, you can make a tear stain remover by adding one part of hydrogen peroxide to nine parts of water.
Caring for your canine friend's eyes will reveal any problems that it could be having with its eyes. In case you notice anything, take your pet dog to the vet.
7. Caring for your dog's teeth
Imagine how bad it feels when you go for days without cleaning your teeth. It feels terrible- right? Just like humans, dogs also require their teeth to be brushed. When you do this, you will prevent several issues like gingivitis, swollen gums, periodontal diseases, and halitosis.
Create a daily routine of brushing your canine friend's teeth. Use a dog toothpaste, and not your own because human toothpaste sometimes contains substances that could be fatal to your pet.
Follow these steps when cleaning your dog's teeth:
- Choose a dog toothbrush that best suits your pet. There are two types: the short finger brushes and the long necks.
- Before introducing the toothbrush, use your finger to clean its teeth, so that it can get accustomed to the idea of an item inside its mouth. So this for a few days, and reward your dog's patience with some treats.
- Once the dog is comfortable with the idea of items in its mouth, you can move on to introducing the toothbrush. Apply a small amount of dog toothpaste on the brush. Make your dog comfortable by petting it, and then lift its lip slowly and insert the brush.
- Brush its teeth gently in a circular motion. Give the same attention to the line between the teeth as you do to the teeth.
- Move to the sides of the mouth, each at a time, and brush the teeth of both the lower and upper jaws.
Besides brushing the teeth, you can give your dog dental chews to maintain its oral hygiene.

- Start grooming your pet when it is a puppy. That way, it will be easier for the dog to learn proper grooming. Start by inspecting its ears, mouth, toes, nails, and legs from the initial stages.
- Be patient with your pet. Do not rush into the grooming activity, as harassing your dog can make it resist. Start with familiarizing the dog with the grooming tools and get it used to new sensations of grooming. You may also bribe the reluctant dog with its favorite treats. Just make sure you do not force the grooming activity on your dog.
- Choose a specific time and day for the grooming activity. That will help in creating a routine for your pet. Make sure that the first grooming sessions do not last for a long period; preferably, make the session only a few minutes long. Over time, you can lengthen the period as your pet gets used to grooming.
- Ensure that the grooming session is short and sweet; before your canine friend gets tired or bored.
If you would like to express love for your pet dog, make sure you groom it well. Well, what better way is there than to start by following the above ultimate dog grooming guide? When grooming your furry friend, make sure you are as thorough as possible, by caring for all the parts without leaving out any of them. Be consistent with the grooming, such that you do it all year round regardless of the season.

On Friday's SmackDown, it was announced that The Shield will make their WrestleMania debut in less than 3 weeks against the team of Randy Orton, Ryback and Sheamus.
It has been rumored for quite some time that Ryback would be facing Mark Henry at WrestleMania, so their match on Friday's SmackDown and the inclusion of Ryback in The Shield's match appeared to signal a change in booking plans.
However, a hidden image on the WWE website appears to give away what the actual match will be at WrestleMania. The current image that's up, "6Man_1.jpg" - shows Ryback in the match:
Changing the file name to "6Man_2.jpg" reveals the following:
Based on what we've heard regarding the WrestleMania card and the image above, expect to see Big Show replace Ryback in the 6-man tag team match, and for Ryback to challenge Mark Henry at the show.

Challenges ahead for Holden drivers Marston and Holder
The Penny Homes Holden Rally Team features a new driver line-up this weekend with Josh Marston and David Holder piloting the team's two Holden Barina AP4+ cars in the Waitomo Rally, running 14 October.
Holder, the Tauranga-based defending New Zealand Rally Champion, is joined by co-driver Jason Farmer, from Hamilton in Greg Murphy's #51 Barina rally car. The pair were invited by Murphy to drive the car for the final two New Zealand Rally Championship (NZRC) events after other commitments prevented Murphy competing in these events himself.
Based in Pio Pio, the Waitomo Rally is round five of the NZRC and Christchurch-based Marston is looking forward to tackling the King Country and Waitomo roads for the first time.
Marston says: "Our goal is a trouble-free run to get some more time in the car, which only made its competitive debut at Otago at the start of this season and has continually been developed throughout the year. We have been working really hard on car pace and the last two regional rallies we have done since Coromandel in August have shown that we are heading in the right direction."
Of the rally's six stages which average over 34km, he says: "The rally will be interesting with all long stages and a large total distance. I have not done the stages up there before, but it sounds like they are really good and flowing."
Holder is keeping his goals straightforward for his first rally with the Penny Homes Holden Rally Team. "First and foremost, getting to the end of such a long, gruelling event is the priority. It's the longest one-day event we've had in the championship for some time. Aside from that, we're aiming for a top five finish… not an easy task given the calibre of drivers we're up against but Jason and I will be approaching the stages with a focus on consistency."
Holder says it's going to be important to get a good rhythm on the long stages as a lot of time can be lost or gained.

Marston and his Gore-based co-driver Andrew Graves, and Holder and Farmer get to see the roads for the first time during Friday's one-pass reconnaissance.
"The roads are all new, which evens the playing field for everyone," Holder says. "This makes it even more important to make sure we get the notes right during recce without any previous experience or in-car footage to study."
The team has a short shakedown test lined up for Thursday, primarily to confirm Holder's seat position in the car and make some small setup changes where needed to suit his driving style.
Holder adds: "There's certainly plenty to take in over the course of the rally. Jase and I can't wait to get in our seats, and send a special thanks to Greg for the opportunity!"
Murphy wishes the team the best of luck for the weekend, saying: "I am disappointed not to be competing this weekend, but on the flipside, I'm keen to see someone of David's level behind the wheel. I'll be keeping an eye on progress throughout the day on ChrisSport. It will be a tough rally physically and mentally with the length of the stages and managing tyres will surely become a factor, something I'm sure our MRF tyres will handle brilliantly."
Run by the Hamilton Car Club, Rally Waitomo has attracted a capacity field of 81 entrants. From the start in Pio Pio just after 8am on Saturday, the route heads south into the King Country and back to Pio Pio for service, before heading north-east to Otorohanga in the Waitomo district before the official finish at the Hamilton Car Clubrooms around 5pm.

Daniel Swift discovered a little poem about bread and flowers by Ezra Pound, written on the back of an envelope. It shows something of his skill but also the inconsistencies of his philosophy. He spent WWII as a propagandist for fascists, condemning equality among nations and races, and was tried and acquitted for treason in 1946.
"And yet the method of his poetry," Swift says, "insists that ideas can and must be translated across cultures. He mixes African myth with classical Greek epic, ancient Chinese poetry and the American blues."
This sharply contrasted his poisonous radio diatribes, which Robert Wernick describes:
His scripts for Radio Roma covered political, economic, historical and cultural subjects, interspersed with personal reminiscences, all tumbling over one another in such impulsive and unpredictable order that some Italian officials suspected he was transmitting military secrets to the enemies of Italy in an unbreakable code. He was in fact expressing in his customary percussive prose style his deeply-held beliefs that only a currency reform under a system known as Social Credit would solve the world's economic problems; that only an authoritarian regime like Mussolini's could clear out the muck that was stifling modern life; and that something, preferably something violent, should be done to get rid of the Jews, the Bank of England, Franklin Roosevelt ("Stinky Rosenstein"), Winston Churchill, publishers, night-clubs, usury, birth control, muddy painters like Rembrandt, sloppy composers like Beethoven and Puccini ("Spewcini"). Along the way he would drop in gnomic utterances on the order of, "The laws of durable government have been known since the days of King Wen," or, "The cultural stink betrayed the U. S. in 1863."
Pound did spend time after the trial in a mental hospital, but I'm inclined to attribute his hateful ideas to simple human hubris more than mental illness. It doesn't take much to hate other people.

Shipping vs. Pick up
It looks like I can only do pick up OR shipping but not offer both options? Is this correct or am I missing something. If so please consider adding this option.
Shipping can be turned on/off at the department level. So if you go to - Sell --> Manage --> Departments and edit the department, you'll see a setting at the very bottom of the page to "Use shipping rules for items in this department?".
Then you could create two departments, one that is mail-order and one that is for local pickups.
The other option is to just have one department and people will need to calculate shipping but you can create a "free shipping" coupon that those picking up could use to have the shipping cost removed from their invoice. You can add a note to the shopping cart page to say something like "if you are picking up instead of having the item shipped, please calculate shipping costs below and then enter COUPONCODE to have those costs removed from your order.". This can be done by going to - Sell --> Configure --> Display Settings.

Discussions of Tenure
4 comments:
- AnonymousJanuary 9, 2011 at 4:49 AM
Why do university professors deserve this special privilege of job immunity? No other profession has this right. There are definitely employment contracts within some businesses, but those are few and far between and are getting fewer. No doctor, mechanic, engineer, nurse, firefighter, journalist, librarian, or even politician has the institutional right to continue drawing a salary regardless of how good they are at their job. Sure, many of them do anyway, but only universities are so bold as proudly claim it as a tradition. Why do ivory tower professors deserve this? Tenure is an archaic institution which makes education worse, not better. When I was doing my BS, I attended classes taught by completely incompetent professors that had no business or interest teaching, that were a waste of my time and money. And this was in the late 1980s, before tuition skyrocketed.ReplyDelete
The freedom to explore controversial issues is secondary to the quality of education. Professors should be judged on merit, just like anyone else.
Make academia merit-based just like literally any other profession. People who don't do their job should not be drawing a salary and benefits.

Are you the only person upset by the fact that Bob Woodberry was denied tenure? I can't find one other public source that has questioned this denial other than WORLD Magazine. I am distressed by the politically correct games universities seem to play. Is anyone going to stand up for this man?ReplyDeleteReplies
No, Anonymous, there are plenty of folks bothered by this, and more has happened to another tenured member of the same department, this time widespread notoriety for unpopular research findings. It is the current nature of the academic beast.Delete
Efforts are being made on many fronts to counter this, many of which are quiet and behind the scenes, prayer not the least of them.
Several opportunities exist for you, regardless of your situation to help:
1) Pray.
2) Train the children/youth in your life to think clearly and not swallow whole what people say, but fact check and research, even what Christians say.
3) Do the same in your own life.
4) Challenge other believers to do the same--sadly, many believers mindlessly grab on to sound bites and bumper sticker slogans that sound pro-faith, but display, sadly, shallowness and ignorance of the real complexities of the world. This stereotype of the mindless Christian makes our jobs harder to represent Christ in the academy. In this instance, the secularists ask how Protestant missionaries can improve standards of living when supposedly Protestant evangelicals like Westboro Baptist are who come to mind when the term evangelical is mentioned.
5)Help the church to pick its battles. For example, there is a rich diversity of opinion among solid Christians about how to interpret Genesis. We should celebrate a unity even and we passionately argue about Genesis 1-11. It does us no favors when Christians publicly call each other heretics over stuff like this.
6)Realize that college is not for everyone. It is a mistake to assume a college education is a guarantee of a better job/salary or LIFE CALLING. It isn't. Compare your salary to your mechanic's or plumber's. How does this help? It reduces the flow of income to colleges so they are forced to listen to the market. It also reduces the numbers of folks exposed to the rampant sophistry at much of the academy.
7)Vote with your dollars. Send your kids to schools that are fair and truly honor academic freedom, so truth can be discerned and not politically dictated. (Note this can include secular colleges and exclude some Christian ones.)
8)Be an active alum of your alma mater. Make your voice heard to the school with which you have the most pull.
9) Be creative. Use these ideas as a springboard.
10)Pray. (no, this is not a repeat. It is emphasis.)

I almost I got excited when I read that Saks Fifth Ave would soon be carrying plus-size apparel from uber luxe designers like Chanel, YSL, and McQueen until I realized a few very important points. I can't afford luxe designers no matter what size I am. Quite frankly as much as I love fashion I would have to really be "rolling in the dough" for me to drop thousands of dollars for a pair of shoes.
I also really wonder if there is a true reason why only few take a stab at creating plus size clothing. When I "google" plus size one of my favorite retailers come up – Torrid.com. Then Lane Bryant, a few Amazon listings, and then it all becomes very random after that. So it's clear there is a major clothing void in the fatosphere.
Ginia Bellafante wrote an interesting article in the NY Times. A point that stuck in my head was "With more weight comes more variation." By golly I think she's got a point. Being fat is so complex. You've got your traditional curvy shape, blessed with a little bit of everything in the right places. You could possess those DD's (that all the girls want) but have the dreadful noassatall.com disease. We can also flip that and you could be built like the chess board above your waist and have a small continent in your jeans. Or you just might be "big boned" and be fat all over. Either way you get her our point. So when I translated all of that into fashion I suddenly realized why my clothes never really fit perfectly. At this point I don't need high end I need the right fit! With all those variations it seems so easy to really get this plus size thing wrong.
I only hope that perhaps Marc Jacobs (or Mr. Duffy) will by chance read my blog and see how sensitive us fat folk are. You can't give me a jersey knit top, stick a label on the collar, and tell me $395. Because labels haven't been afforded to me I am not as gullible as those skinny chicks are. Put some love in it like you just baked my favorite chocolate cupcakes – ooo or those delicious brownies I love, yummy.
For what ever motives one may have, I appreciate the fact that people now see the Fatosphere and want to embrace it, make money off of it, whatever. Stop trying to turn my world into the Skintosphere because I don't fit there! My hips are too wide, and my chest is too big – hell even my head is big.

When Matt and Rosemary Lopez saw that the former Heavenly Cakes space next door to Taza de Cafe, the coffee shop they've run on West 44th Avenue for six years, was available, they thought it would be perfect Charlie's Ice Cream Social, a '30's- and '40's-style soft serve ice cream parlor they'd been thinking about creating for a couple of years.
Their idea was to get a three-flavor soft-serve ice cream machine, plus syrups and mix-ins, which the couple would use to create an array of shakes, ice cream sodas, ice cream sandwiches, dipped cones and Twisters, which are a blend of ice cream, cookies, candies and syrups swirled together in a machine. And they envisioned such flavors as s'mores and strawberry shortcake, as well as other options. "We're drawing inspiration from Hostess products," says Matt. "We're going to a Hostess Snoball-inspired shake with sponge cake, cherries, coconut and chocolate ice cream." There will also be a Twinkie blend.
When the Lopezes began construction on the new spot at the beginning of February, Matt predicted that Charlies would be open by the first week of May. And he wasn't far off the mark, though an equipment issue did push the opening back a few days. "We are getting our soft-serve machine this week," he explains. "It was out for repair for about three weeks." Once it's reinstalled, he and Rosemary will move in the rest of their gear and then they'll just have to wait for an inspection, which Matt says should allow them to have a soft opening next week.
And they definitely plan to have Charlie's running at full speed by May 19. "We're having a grand opening party," says Matt. "It's a fundraiser, and we'll be serving all-you-can-eat ice cream for $5." The proceeds will go to the Society for Mutual Protection of United Workers, an organization that, traditionally, was a Spanish-speaking labor union. "I'm a member," Matt explains. "We have a scholarship program, and I started a new fund for school supplies for underprivileged kids. All proceeds will go to those supplies."
The pair has also booked the Reveille 3, an Andrews Sisters cover group, for entertainment that day.

Travelling like the Dutch: on your Bike!
|14 September 2017
Being from a small Pennsylvania town in the United States, I did not ride bikes often. Actually, almost never. My trusted car gets me through the winding roads of Milford, Pennsylvania quite effectively. When I decided to study in Groningen I knew that riding a bike would be a part of the experience. On my second day in the city, I was excited to finally explore and eventually decided to walk into the city centre. Although it was not a far walk I still decided at that point that I was going to get myself a bike--and I did! I had bought a bright blue bike--while not the most neutral colour, it definitely comes in handy when trying to locate my bike amongst the many others at night in the Grote Markt. Cycling in the Netherlands is an adventure on its own. The majority of residents cycle everywhere they need to go. You'll see Dutch students confidently cycling through the city while on their phones, or even hands-free sometimes. I'm still not quite at that level of cycling.
I have always grown up and lived in small towns. However, when I do take a trip to the city it is usually either to Boston, New York City, or Philadelphia. While these are all amazing places, they always seemed so big to me. Groningen however, offers the perfect balance between being a large city, but with a close-knit feel. The city is small enough to explore and not feel overwhelmed, yet is never short of fun to have with your friends. Groningen gives off an International vibe as students from all over the world come together in the city centre to study and meet up. Almost any day that I cycle to class or to the city centre I run into someone that I know. The close-knit environment of Groningen makes you feel at home and gives off an energy that can only be found here.
When it comes to getting a bike you have a few options. You can buy a new bike from a shop in town, a used bike from a shop, you can rent a bike, or you can look on Facebook for students leaving the University and selling their bikes. Personally, I chose to rent my bike but many of my friends chose to purchase used bikes. Whichever option you choose is completely up to you. Since I was only going to be in Groningen for a year, renting seemed to suit me more since it included repairs as well as *insurance*--(basically, if my bike was stolen, the shop would replace it). This option can be a bit more expensive than purchasing a bike, depending on your length of stay in Groningen.
Once I had my bike, I was able to explore the city just as the Dutch do: by bike.
--My first thoughts after riding by bike was a mixture between "I have no idea what I'm doing" and "I hope I get used to this because my legs are not prepared"
Eventually, I prevailed and during my very first month here a friend of mine wanted us to spend her birthday by going on a bike ride. I felt like we had ridden for miles and I'm almost positive we did, but we also saw another side to Groningen. We biked up to an area near the Zernike campus called Reitdiephaven--the area with the picturesque houses on the water. After this point, I'll admit, we did just wander on our bikes a bit and ended up in quite a rural area, but nonetheless still had some fun. We saw horses and biked along the countryside until we eventually made our way back to the city. The journey was fun and left our legs feeling drained. All in all, a success.
Since that day, I of course have continued riding my bike almost every day and have even gotten quite accustomed to it---meaning my legs no longer feel like they are going to fall off. Being on a bike gives you a completely new way of seeing Groningen. My friends and I have been everywhere so far with our bikes--from bike rides to class, to the lake during the hot weather to cool down, the canals, the city for a night out, and even to IKEA in our attempts to carry back meatballs and extra furnishings. Even after all of those experiences though, I still think memory of riding bikes in the Netherlands will be the many attempts of riding on the back of a friends bike. That is the moment when I truly felt like I was riding like the Dutch.
Riding a bike in the Netherlands is just one of the many experiences and memories you will make while living and studying here and will truly make you feel like you are integrating into a new culture.

Okay, odd question: how much actual nudity would you say is in the game? and is it necessary to see it? I have a younger brother, and I don't want us to get it if there is, cause I don't like the chance of him stumbling on it.
There is a full sex scene with breasts and bush. So beware playing it in a room with others.

The following prayer of a pastor for himself and his ministry is attributed to Samuel Hieron (bap. 1572-1617), fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and afterwards vicar of Modbury, Devon (parish church of St George, Modbury, pictured):
Holy, O Lord, and honourable is that service, to which it hath been thy gracious pleasure to depute me. The matter I am chiefly to be busied in, is thine own counsel; they be thy oracles, and the seals of righteousness, the dispensation whereof thou hast committed to me. Thou hast made me an overseer of a part of that flock, which thou didst purchase with thine own most precious blood; thou hast called me to be a messenger, and an interpreter, to declare unto men thy righteousness, to watch for their souls, among them to declare thy secrets, and to pray them even in Christ's stead, to be reconciled unto thee.
What man among all the sons of Adam, is worthy of this honour? And who is sufficient for these things? When as, oh most merciful Father, I think upon the weight of that charge which thou hast put upon me, and consider again mine own weakness and insufficiency, who am a man of polluted lips, and even as a child unable to speak the secret of thy Gospel as becometh me; methinks I may well cry out with the prophet, Woe is me, I am even undone; how shall I stand upright under such a burden?
But when I look back into my own conscience, and find there a comfortable witness, that I have not thrust in myself for a pastor, and remember also what is registered in the Word, how thou makest thy power perfect in weakness, and choosest the feeble things of the world for weighty purposes, it is a kind of enlivening to my spirits, and refreshing to my discouraged and drooping thoughts, I am thereby emboldened to press nearer to thy throne of grace.
Oh thou who both callest whom thou pleasest, and makest those able whom thou callest; be merciful unto me (even with the strength and intention of my desires I most humbly pray thee) make my heart a very treasury of saving knowledge, fill it with soundness of judgment and a large measure of spiritual understanding, that my whole drift may be to fulfil that ministry which I have received. Let my lips preserve knowledge, that many may be fed thereby, and give me a door of utterance, that I may open my mouth boldly, as I ought to speak, and both shew thy people their sins, and be able to minister a word in due season to him that is weary.
In my preaching vouchsafe me both diligence and humility. Diligence; that I may still be instant, never fainting in my mind for the small success of my labours, or for those storms which Satan raiseth up against the faithful in dispensing of thy truth: and humility, that I may not seek mine own glory and applause with men, but the bringing in sheaves into thy garner, and the gathering of saints into thy fold. And for this cause teach me to take heed of the affectation of words, and of seeking to abound with the enticing speech of man's wisdom, choosing rather by the plain evidence of the Spirit to approve myself to men's consciences in thy sight, than by a vain blast of words to gain an opinion of eloquence and learning before men.
And for the better furtherance of this great work, make me careful to know the state of my flock, and to hearken after their courses, to observe their carriage and opinions, and to find their especial sins, that so my speeches may be as words in season, even like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Make me wise in judging, skilful in separating the precious from the vile; bold, but yet pitiful and compassionate: in reproving resolute, especially in those things which are fit to be urged; and far from yielding in the smallest things which may strengthen them in evil, and be a stop in their speedy reformation.
Let it be even my whole business to seek that which is lost, and to study how to bring those out of the snares of the Devil which are taken by him at his will.
Make my face strong, and my forehead as the adamant against their faces which shall either scorn or withstand thy truth; let me make ready my back for the smiters, and not hide my face from shame and spitting; no nor to account even of life itself, so that I may finish my course with joy; and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the Gospel of thy grace.
Frame me to diligence and painfulness in my private employments, in reading, in study, in meditation and prayer, that I may be a workman not needing to be ashamed, and that men may see how I go on, and profit in my calling.
Let my life be a pattern of holiness to my flock; let there be no fighting betwixt my behavior and my doctrine, but that my very course and carriage, and ordinary speeches may savour of grace, that so I may give no offence, either to those that depend upon me, or to those who desire to have some occasion and matter of reproach.
Make me circumspect in my family, overseeing the ways of my household, knowing how many eyes are upon me and mine; and how soon by Satan's teaching men will make the worst of every little trespass. And because, oh Lord, the businesses of this world are a great withdrawment, and the pretence of caring for posterity, doth kill the zeal of many, and lead them into doolish and noisome lusts; therefore, I beseech thee, suppress within me all earthly-mindedness; keep me from entangling myself with the affairs of this world; let it be enough for me that I have a nail in the holy place, and a room among the servitours of thy Church.
As for those which belong unto me, let me neither be without care; for that were worse than infidelity, nor yet so taken up, that I should forget my chiefest business; but let me assure myself, that thou wilt be my God, and the God of my seed, and wilt not leave them destitute of earthly blessings, for whom thou hast provided an eternal inheritance. With this hope make me to go on with cheerfulness; doing that whereto thou hast called me, and leaving thee to provide and care for the rest. Thou oh Lord knowest the desires of my soul, thou best understandest what things are fittest for me, in respect of that great calling to which thou hast ordained me, and what I most stand in need of: Supply me I beseech thee out of thy fulness, and crown my labours in the ministry with the conversion of such souls as are ordained unto life; and that for the Son's sake, who is the chief Shepherd, to whom let my soul and spirit give honour, glory, and praise, now and forever. Amen.

Will doctors suffer if marijuana is legalized?
Have you thought about your pot doctor lately?
Not your pot dealer. He'll be fine, even after California finally legalizes adult-use marijuana. (More on that later.)
But something occurred to me recently. I was walking through Potrero Hill, and I spotted two new billboards. "MMJ Doctor!" they chirped. Smiling young women in tight nurse's outfits gazed out at me, holding marijuana leaves. The billboards looked low-budget and fresh — and they aren't long for this world, I thought.
Legalization is looming. Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Washington, D.C. — these places have done it, and the sky hasn't fallen. California will have a marijuana legalization ballot measure in 2016. Past measures have failed here, but they aren't going to fail forever. And when one passes, it will probably mean the end of the pot doctor.
It was always a strange cottage industry, because medical marijuana itself is a strange thing. California's "don't ask, don't tell" experiment with marijuana is kind of real and kind of a joke — like the legal drinking age.
Are there plenty of sick Californians who dearly need pain relief from cannabis? Sure.
Are there are also thousands upon thousands of Californians who have walked into a freewheeling medical clinic, mentioned back pain or anxiety, and walked out with the medical card needed to buy all of the fun stuff at the cannabis dispensary? Sure.
Personally, I think it's past time for marijuana legalization. Life in San Francisco means that every walk down the street is a chance to get up close and personal with marijuana consumption, and nothing I've seen has led me to believe that it's any more dangerous than alcohol. (It's likely much less dangerous, in fact.)
San Francisco is far from aggressive about prosecuting people caught in possession of marijuana, but there are plenty of places that still do, and that's a waste of time, resources and human potential.
All that said, it occurred to me that a substantial number of medical professionals — use the term as loosely as you want — have come to rely on California's medical marijuana gray zone to meet their, er, income expectations.
"For the doctors, it's a big, big concern," Dale Gieringer, the state coordinator of California NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) told me. Once legalization passes, "no one's going to have to get a recommendation to get marijuana at the dispensary. And if you don't need a medical card for the dispensary, what's the point?"
Indeed. There's been heavy competition among medical marijuana doctors ever since the passage of Proposition 215, Gieringer said, with "price wars" that have led to a shakeout in the field.
He guessed that about 200 doctors in California currently specialize in weed prescriptions, and "thousands" more offer recommendations.
"They're all nervous" about impending legalization, Gieringer said.
Dr. Jeffrey Hergenrather, a general practitioner in Sebastopol who specializes in cannabis medicine, told me that he anticipates losing "50 percent or more" of his patients in the event of adult-use legalization. Yet he was curiously sanguine about this eventuality.
"The doctor mills, the places that aren't practicing medicine, will close," he said bluntly. "But there will still be a need for the specialist. I'm spending between 45 minutes and an hour and a half with a patient on an initial consultation, learning about their health problems, figuring out dosages and THC levels — there will still be a need for expertise."
Doctors who really study the science and develop relationships with their patients will survive, Hergenrather said. And he'll still be needed to write prescriptions for children after adult-use legalization passes.
"Children?" I said.
"For a younger population that struggles with seizures, autism disorders and a host of other genetic abnormalities where anxiety and agitation are frequently encountered."
There was that half-real, half-fake aspect of medical marijuana popping up again. Hergenrather firmly believes in the medical properties of marijuana, and he's seen positive results for his patients.
Because marijuana's status as an illegal drug has largely prevented it from being the subject of scientific research, the rest of us just have to guess. But legalization will mean guessing without the assistance of medical professionals — regardless of how "professional" that help ever was.
Amusingly, there is one more reason why the pot doctor might not slip into oblivion directly after legalization.
It's the same reason we might still have pot dealers hanging around, too.
"Some people will want to avoid taxes," Gieringer said. "If you look at the ballot initiative that's circulating right now, it doesn't give a lot of incentives to the medical marijuana industry except that you can avoid some of the (proposed 15 percent excise and extra cultivation) taxes if you go to some trouble."
So old-fashioned greed, in the guise of tax avoidance, might contribute to the continued existence of a gray marijuana market if the state chooses to place high "sin" taxes on marijuana sales after legalization. Getting high doesn't mean that people stop scheming.

These cookies were picked out for someone who has the sweetest heart. Pumpkins are always used to celebrate Halloween and I wanted to add a little something extra to these cutout sugar cookies with orange icing and extravagant sprinkles. The dough was difficult to cut at first so I ended up freezing the dough and spreading it on the cookie sheet to cut. I enjoyed making these cookies– pumpkins are especially cute and baking is a great way to share happiness with others. If you're interested, check out The History of Cookies. The name cookie is derived from the Dutch word koekje, meaning small cake. A Happy Halloween for all– see for yourself!

Samaritan's Purse Statement of Faith:
* We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. (1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17)
* We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6)
* We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15)
* We believe that all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. (Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7 and 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7)
* We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. (John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10)
* We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. (1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15)

* We believe God's plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage, that God created man and woman as unique biological persons made to complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9)
* We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry of evangelism. (Matthew 9:35-38; 22:37-39, and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15)

I recently blogged on the deluge of disengagement among U.S. employees and stated that major achievements in productivity and customer experience will not be achieved until organizations tap into this 70% pool of disengaged employees and convert them to motivated employees.
A further breakdown of the data is now available which shows that levels of engagement are even worse in Western Europe. If the U.S. is experiencing a deluge of disengagement, Europe is already sandbagging and sending out the lifeboats. The highest engagement level is in Denmark with only 21% of employees engaged and France leads the way in levels of employee disillusion and apathy with only 9% of employees engaged.
As previously stated a host of social, economic and cultural reasons probably lie behind these figures. Undoubtedly however a large number of these employees are trapped in roles where they have little autonomy to influence how their work gets done. Locked into fixed inflexible processes in the restaurant, checkout or at a keyboard. From a customer service and experience point of view this 70-80% pool of disengaged employees is a well to be tapped. To begin eroding these levels of disengagement organizations need to become empowered organizations.
What does the employee empowered workplace look like? I'll talk about that in the next post.
