Handling Workplace Complaints, Concerns and Issues
Leaders in the workplace hear several complaints every day. Some are minor and easily resolved; others are more complex, requiring complicated solutions. Leaders should have a specific procedure or decision tree set up to guide them through the resolution process fairly and consistently.
Decision trees come in different varieties, some more suited to particular issues than others. One type can be quite logical, providing the leader with a rather intuitive model to follow for simple problems. Difficult problems, on the other hand, require more complex models that give leaders the more intricate guidance they require.
Unresolved complaints are symptomatic of underlying issues in the workplace. When left unsettled, these issues fester and ultimately surface as major problems that can impact productivity, efficiency and performance, as well as expose an organization to legal liabilities. Leaders must always strive to resolve a problem; otherwise, employees who continually complain about the same issue yet don't see action being taken likely have legal recourse. Even a seemingly minor issue can have potential legal ramifications that make the company liable for failing to address the complaint.
Effective leaders understand the importance of immediately addressing and resolving complaints. They know that lingering issues hinder the performance of their organizational unit by disrupting the harmony and balance required to maximize output. Additionally, the time invested in "nipping a problem in the bud" is well spent when compared with the time required to deal with a complaint that has exploded into a major problem. Good leaders furthermore understand that a quick and effective response to a complaint limits the company's legal liability.
Undoubtedly, leaders are well-versed in dealing with daily operational problems (e.g. production, quality, scheduling and efficiency) associated with the organizational unit's performance. And while it is possible these methods are effective at resolving related employee complaints, they are not the focus of this lesson. For present purposes, complaints will be limited to general workplace issues such as intimidation, harassment, bullying and other employee-related concerns.
When a complaint is initially brought to the leader's attention, he or she will most likely immediately classify it as a problem that is either major or minor. This tendency is natural, as quick classification leaves the leader with the necessary time and energy to identify and resolve the problem.
However, leaders must take care not to minimize a complaint. They need to recognize that it takes courage for an employee to voice a concern. In fact, before the complaint is made, quite often the issue has been going on for a sustained period, with the employee making many failed attempts at resolving it. Hence, it is important that the leader carefully consider the complaint's seriousness. Even if the individual tends to complain or whine about everything, each grievance should be examined on its own merits. If, after thoughtful consideration, the leader finds there isn't much to the complaint, then it may be dismissed. But a repeat pattern of similar complaints may require further action on the part of the leader. On the other hand, some employees rarely complain, and when they do the problem may be more serious than it initially appears.
Once the legitimacy of a complaint has been established, several steps must be taken. A decision tree, as outlined below, guides the leader to the ultimate solution.
Preliminary Investigation
A preliminary investigation identifies underlying causes, the individuals involved and impacted, and the extent of the problem. When the problems causing the complaint are rooted out early, potential solutions can also be identified right away. If this is the case, leaders can act quickly to resolve the problem and move on to more pressing issues. If not, leaders must move on to the next step.
If the problem is bigger or more advanced than originally thought, then leaders must begin to document its extent—that is, the activities of the individuals causing the problem, and the complaints and actions of the employees affected by the problem.
Effective leaders understand the importance of documenting the problem: the process helps develop objective facts necessary for a satisfactory resolution and protects the company if the termination of employees is required.
Interview All Participants
An initial investigation of a complaint and a documentation of the facts should include personal interviews with everyone involved in the issue. This gives all parties ample opportunity to express their viewpoints. Leaders must take care to stick with the facts and not be biased by previous experiences with anybody or let their personal feelings impact their decisions.
Pinpoint the Causes and Solution
After interviewing all participants and listening carefully to what they had to say, leaders should be able to pinpoint the underlying causes of the problem. Sometimes the issue to be dealt with is obvious; in which case, immediate action is advised.
In more serious cases, leaders may need to consult with their superiors or the human resources professionals in their company to determine further action or attain recommendations. When issues of legal liability are involved in the solution, leaders must seek counsel from others more familiar with the issues. Effective leaders understand the limits of their responsibilities and the importance of calling on others with more expertise. When in doubt, it is best to call human resources to get their view on possible courses of action.
Implement the Solution
Depending upon the seriousness of the problem and who is involved in crafting and implementing the solution, leaders must take action as soon as possible. Clearly, the solution can take many forms and have a variety of actions. As a result, leaders will often have to sit down with the people affected, either individually or together as a group.
In these sessions the problem will be plainly laid out, the findings and extent of the problem will be reported, and a discussion of the possible solutions initiated. In certain cases where the problem is very serious, solutions can be presented without options, leaving the people who are causing the problem with clear instructions to cease their behaviors or face specific consequences. In other cases, the parties will discuss and agree upon a solution.
Once again, leaders aren't doing this alone: they are guided by the seriousness of the problem, instructions from their superiors, and the legal liabilities and ramifications if the issue is not resolved. Each area offers unique guidance that, along with understanding the particular circumstances surrounding the problem, will help leaders identify the final resolution and the actions they need to take.
Monitor the Solution
After a solution has been implemented, leaders should actively monitor the solution and periodically interview the employees affected to assure their satisfaction with the outcome. The leader's central purpose here is to ensure that the problem is completely resolved. If unresolved, then further action must be taken. Consequences may need to be revisited and more drastic action may be called for.
Leaders must understand that every complaint and problem is unique. Dealing with workplace issues means working with complex human behaviors that often have no simple or straightforward solutions. While some solutions are mandated by company policies or management direction, others require the leader's persistent application of logic until the problem is completely solved.

Motivation Is More Than Money
When the topic of workplace motivation arises, the two primary issues managers focus on are rewards and recognition. This recognition often takes the form of compensation, but can also be manifested as accurate and timely feedback that acknowledges both positive and negative performance.
Many managers have focused their motivational efforts on the financial compensation an employee receives for their efforts. However, many have failed to understand the impact that clearly defined tasks and fast and accurate feedback has on their workforce. Consequently, they fail to ensure that both positive and negative feedback provided to their employees is directly related to their performance.
Aside from financial and budgetary means, it is important for managers to understand that they can increase overall performance through effective motivational techniques that increase employee productivity.
Harvard Business School conducted a number of employee surveys in a variety of industries. The hypothesis was that the employees who were paid the highest salaries and who had the appropriate personality traits, including drive and confidence, would be the best performers.
This hypothesis was soon discovered to be faulty. The actual top performing employees were defined not only by money, but by the following three factors:
Personal Impact
The top performers had the personality to bring about results through their own efforts. Each was able to accomplish their goals through their individual drive.
Fast Feedback
The top performers knew quickly whether or not their efforts worked. The low motivation employees were unsure of their results and unable to gauge their performance.
Accurate Feedback
The top performers received truthful feedback that accurately reflected their personal impact on results. They knew exactly where they stood and received credit when it was due. The low motivation employees were neither recognized for their good work nor penalized for poor performance. The challenge was thus removed from their jobs, as it was of no consequence whether they excelled or failed.
The results of the Harvard Business School study reveal that the nature of the task and feedback ultimately determine the employee's motivation. The study indicated that these two factors are more important motivators than compensation.
There are several steps a manager can take to apply this information to their workplace:
- Ensure tasks assigned to employees are clear. The employees should know exactly what is expected of them. These expectations are inherently motivating.
- Make the connection between the employee's individual performance and the end result obvious.
- Teach employees to evaluate their own work. Detail the critical factors of success and provide them with an evaluation form to use. Make it clear that employees are responsible for their own assessment, and that they can perform the evaluation as frequently as they find it necessary.
- When providing feedback, managers should ask, rather than tell, employees what happened in specific situations, especially if the manager was not an eyewitness. This process is important since customer feedback is often perceived to be inaccurate. Basing feedback on inaccurate information often results in resentment.
- • Educate employees regarding how to use feedback. If employees fail to understand how feedback relates to their performance, there is no context in which to place it in, and it becomes meaningless.

Treat Your Employees Like Customers
"You have to treat your employees like customers… When you treat them right, then they will treat your outside customers right."
Herb Kelleher (Southwest Airlines)
Individual employees bring their own strengths and weaknesses to a company. It is the responsibility of managers and supervisors to recognize how to capitalize the potential of each employee, so to maximize results and outcomes. Some companies hire employees to fill a position without understanding the actual and often hidden talents and possibilities they bring to their employers. Others make it a point to manage their individuals as the assets they actually are. The great leaders understood how to utilize and harness the strength of the people they employed.
The great leaders understood it was not sufficiently important to select the right people and place them in the right jobs. They continually challenged these individuals to expand their talent and capabilities. One of the legacies of Henry Kaiser (Kaiser) is a spinoff of his engineering department – Kaiser Engineers. On their corporate website, they stated, "We learned that you can't get fine talent into your organization by simply offering high salaries. You, and the men who work with you, have to build yourselves up to the capacity to tackle bigger and bigger jobs." [1] This reflects Kaiser's philosophy and the ability of his company to tackle such as the construction of the Hoover Dam.
Rudolph Giuliani (New York City) reinforced the concept of challenging employees, when he expressed, "Allowing employees to encounter challenges on a regular basis accomplishes two important goals. First it provides experience… Employees who are exposed to challenges and allowed to use their heads to respond to them become better at it. Some managers choose to shelter their staff from all aspects of decision-making… wonder why their employees make so many 'bad decisions' or don't respond to situations the way the boss would. Second, regular challenge invigorates the staff… One quality every performer shared was a sense that their job was more than a simple transaction of time for money. Managers ask a lot from their employees. They want and should expect their staff to feel they're part of something bigger than themselves, something worthwhile, maybe even important." [2]
Admiral Hyman Rickover (U.S. Navy) asserted, "As subordinates develop, work should be constantly added so that no one can finish his job. This serves as a prod and a challenge. It brings out their capabilities and frees the manager to assume added responsibilities. As members of the organization become capable of assuming new and more difficult duties, they develop pride in doing the job well. This attitude soon permeates the entire organization. One must permit his people the freedom to seek added work and greater responsibility. In my organization, there are no formal job descriptions or organization charts. Responsibilities are defined in a general way, so that people are not circumscribed. All are permitted to do as they think best and to go to anyone and anywhere for help. Each person then is limited only by his own ability." [3]
Rickover was renown for his high expectations. "The lure of the new nuclear technology and its strategic importance appealed to many young naval officers. But winning a spot in Rickover's Navy was not easy: prospective submariners often had to sit before the old curmudgeon on an unbalanced chair whose front legs had been sawed off by several inches. The admiral's mean streak was legendary. He had no tolerance for defects in men or their work, and he sacked many an officer for being 'stupid.' Others, like a young ensign named Jimmy Carter, went on to better things." [4]
The great leaders set the tone for their companies, and it often reflected their own personal expectations. "'When I was at Intel, one of the most important values was discipline,' says venture capitalist John Doerr, who worked for the firm for six years in the 1970s. 'Andy Grove had no tolerance for people who were late or meetings that ran on without a purpose. It wasn't that he was a hard ass; it's just the nature of their business. There's no room for error.'"

Recognition Must Be Given Liberally, Frequently and Publicly
In some companies, under the premise that they will be perceived more meaningful, rewards and recognitions are given so infrequently as to in fact be meaningless. In order to be effective in generating long-term, concrete results, such rewards, recognitions and motivation must be given liberally, frequently and publicly. They should be fun, uplifting and encourage all members of the workplace.
A critical aspect of leadership is the manager's role as cheerleader. Leaders need to keep their employees motivated and emotionally prepared to do business in a marketplace fraught with intense competition, rejection and failure.
There are both tangible and intangible aspects of motivation. The intangible aspects of encouraging words and pats on the back, although not insignificant, can be quickly forgotten, while the tangible aspects are visible and durable.
Napoleon discovered long ago that men would walk into combat and perform daring feats for a piece of ribbon and scrap of metal. Managers should learn from this lesson: it's not the value of a reward or recognition, but what that reward stands for. People will move mountains for the right reward.
The late Curtis Carlson, founder of Radisson Hotels, T.G.I. Friday's, Carlson Wagonlit Travel and a host of other hospitality companies, was a master motivator. During an interview on CNN's Pinnacle years ago, he discussed the tangible aspects of motivation.
Carlson started his career as an employee for S&H Green Stamps, a company that used stamps as a retail incentive tool. In his capacity as an employee, Carlson achieved a specific sales goal and was awarded an engraved watch. He observed that everywhere he went his wife made him take off his self-described $20 watch so that she could display it to their friends. He took this lesson with him in his rise to the top of corporate America.
The lesson Carlson learned was the tangible value of motivation. He said that one could give an employee a $20 bonus on Friday, and by Monday it was spent and forgotten. But if one gave them a framed certificate or some other tangible form of recognition, it was there as a constant reminder of their accomplishments.
A very visible example of his practice is seen at T.G.I. Friday's. A tradition in the company is for the employees to sport colorful vests full of motivational pins from all of the restaurants they've worked at. Carlson was a skillful practitioner of tangible motivation: he knew the public display of recognition and accomplishment had an enduring effect long after the individual was honored.
Managers can take a page from the Carlson book and create their own tangible motivation program.
As Carlson learned, the action doesn't have to be expensive, only tangible, frequent, visible and durable.
People love to be recognized and honored. Most have a wall of items at home or in the office to show the world what they've achieved and accomplished. They want others to recognize that they have made a difference.
Many managers will use monetary awards or gifts as incentives—some to a great degree, such as Mary Kay Cosmetics, who awards their top employees pink Cadillacs.
As Carlson learned, money or a disposable gift such as food, a car wash or a trip is quickly forgotten. Instead managers should consider ideas like certificates, pins, coffee cups and other items that will be used and remain visible in the workplace as motivational tools. Some organizations have used items such as gold plated spark plugs as symbols of accomplishment.
Another key to tangible motivation is frequency. Carlson learned that to be effective, recognition must be as frequent and public as possible. Tom Peters discussed this concept in his book, Catching Someone Doing Something Right.
Too often, managers only identify the negative aspects of their employees' performance. Peters talks about turning this concept around by looking for and immediately recognizing the positives.
The final aspect of motivation is public recognition, which builds self-confidence and self-esteem while fostering team spirit and a strong sense of comradery.
There are many sides and aspects to motivation, but the fun and frivolous aspects of public and tangible motivation do work. Managers will be amazed at the amount of effort their employees will expend to earn a piece of paper or inexpensive knick-knack.

Federal Communications Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein was among the scheduled
speakers in New York on Tuesday at the Personal Democracy Forum to announce
the creation of InternetforEveryone.org.
Other participants in the news conference included Google chief technology evangelist
and Internet patriarch Vinton Cerf, in addition to law professors and entrepreneurs.
The coalition warned that the United States is falling behind in broadband
Internet access at a time when high-speed online access is becoming a public
necessity in fully developing economic, social and political potential. The
group pointed to statistics showing that since 2001 the United States has slipped
from fourth in the world in broadband penetration to 15th today. In addition,
U.S. consumers have less choice when it comes to high-speed online access and
are paying more for it.
The advocates warned that this digital divide is not only separating many lower
economic classes, ethnic minorities and rural residents from the mainstream
in this country, but also separating this country from parts of the world that
have leapfrogged it in broadband penetration.
"InternetforEveryone.org will unite Internet users, content creators and innovators
to make universal, affordable, high-speed Internet access a national priority,"
the organization said.
InternetforEveryone.org will promote four basic principles:
The organization intends to solicit federal, state and local support for the
Its membership roster includes 40 organizations and companies from the American
Civil Liberties Union to Yale Information Society Project, industry leaders
eBay.com and Google, and technology innovators such as Internet2.

text: It took a while, but fall finally arrived in North Carolina. As much as I like October, I think November is my favorite month and I am delighted to welcome it. The first day of the month was cold, gray, and windy so we spent most of it under fleece blankets with books. I did manage to venture outside for a cold walk in the cemetery by our apartment complex, and I even brought my camera with me. It has been far too long since I picked it up and I am so glad I did.

fruit of my faith, I had to let go, I was failing, reason for your smile, skin condition, travel many different countries, UCKG,
How does a person who fails in school end up going to university? How do they become so calm when they were once aggressive and filled with hatred? Read on and find out how Omolade Okaiyeto was able to turn her worst nightmare of a life into heaven on earth!
Universal: Omolade, tell us how it was while growing up?
Omolade: I can't complain about how I was brought up. My parents have always provided the best for my siblings and me. They taught us good morals and to always respect our elders, but as I became a teenager, I threw all of those morals in the bin.
Universal: Why the sudden change?
Omolade: I couldn't stand my mother always being on my case. I would shout, scream, slam the door and completely lash out, and when I was grounded for my behaviour, I only hated her more. Unfortunately, this hatred turned into a deep grudge and as each day went by, we only continued to argue every day.
Universal: How did you behave in school?
Omolade: At school, I was just a "rude girl", but on the inside I was filled with so much hatred. This is because I had a skin condition called eczema on the most part of my body, and I hated myself because of it. I felt like an ugly duckling, and with the constant media pressure to look a certain way, which I couldn't, I was very envious of other girls.
My grades were an embarrassment; I was failing and could never get the high grade I wanted. It was so hard concentrating on my studies when I did not understand why I was failing.
Universal: Did you ever try to find help?
Omolade: I genuinely thought that everything was okay; that everyone has problems, so these were mine and I had to deal with them. However, I did imagine my life being different and hoped for it, but at that time it didn't seem like such a big thing.
Universal: How did your change begin? We also heard that you graduated from university; how did that happen if you were failing?
Omolade: A friend invited to me to the Victory Youth Group (VYG), which is the UCKG's youth ministry, and at first glance I was shocked at how many young people were there. I attended one of their meetings and the message hit the nail on the head for me. I couldn't help but see that these people were willing to invest so much in me, and they didn't even know who I was. I continued to attend the VYG and later took part in the main meetings of the HelpCentre on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. They became my tools in helping me to become a new woman.
It wasn't easy to change! I had to let go of the hatred, grudges and jealousy I had towards family and friends, and forgive and move on. It was a process I had to be patient with and committed to.
Before I went to school, I would anoint myself with the holy oil and determine that I would be able to concentrate and do well in my studies.
Little by little, I understood what the teacher taught. I no longer felt completely lost.
But everything went from good to great when I participated in the Campaign of Israel. All I focused on was on becoming a better 'me' and the old and angry Omolade faded away. She doesn't exist anymore! In fact, my life has never been the same after that.
Universal: What is the reason for your smile today?
Omolade: I am seeing the fruit of my faith! In my studies, although my final year of university was the hardest, I finished with a 2:1 degree in BA Communication and Media. For someone who couldn't even get an A grade in school, both my family and I were over the moon.
I now have a graduate job earning more than I imagined I would. Through consistent attendance in the Monday meetings, I was inspired to start my own business in African fashion, helping people with outfit designs and consultations. With the salary I was getting, I was able to buy my own Mini Cooper and have the freedom to travel many different countries.
My skin is all clear and I no longer have complexes about myself or wish to be like anyone else.
Universal: If you had to give someone a piece of advice, what would it be?
Omolade: I would encourage everyone to work on their inner self first and get rid of the hurt, pain and troubles of the past. It's not easy, but as you take part in faith-motivated purposes at the HelpCentre, your change is inevitable. You will be able to look in the mirror and be proud of what you see looking back at you.

The Kingdom of Wisdom, the Isle of Knowledge, and other whimsical geographic representations of the human condition
I love maps. There's something about cartography that lends itself to visualizing much more than land and geography. I've previously looked at how the London tube map was appropriated as a visual metaphor for everything from The Milky Way to the Kabbalah, and today we turn to seven cartographic interpretations of the human condition, using the visual vocabulary of classical maps to interpret various facets of the human psyche--a genre that came of age during the late Renaissance, when it became known as "sentimental cartography."
This map by mid-century American cartoonist Jules Feiffer, who illustrated the book, depicts the marvelous land that Milo finds himself in as he follows his own curiosity.
The map is clearly--whether consciously or not--inspired by the Phantom Tollbooth map, which is perfectly fine: With the concept of combinatorial creativity in our DNA, we deeply believe that all creative work is derivative, everything is a remix, and good ideas come from other good ideas.

If you don't sprechen Sie Deutch, here's the gist:
Many of these maps can be found in these seven must-read books on maps, particularly in the excellent You Are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination--a treasure trove of imaginary and imaginative cartographic explorations of self-conception.

The Fantasticks
Book and Lyrics by Tom Jones
Music by Harvey Schmidt
Based on Les Romanesques by Edmond Rostand
September 23-26, 2010
For the original 1960 off-Broadway production of The Fantasticks, the producers spent $900 on the set and $541 on costumes at a time when major Broadway shows would cost $250,000. It closed 42 years later after a record-shattering 17,162 performances, making it the world's longest-running uninterrupted show of any kind in the United States. Neighboring fathers, having observed that their children do whatever they are told not to, conspire with El Gallo to have them fall in love. The bizarre plan is successful, and the "Happy Ending" comes at the end of Act One.
Romantic moonlight is supplanted by the harsh light of the sun, requiring the characters to come terms with the ways of the world en route to a more mature understanding of love. Infectuous and memorable music induces the audience to come along for the ride.
Show statistics were obtained from a Wikipedia article on The Fantastics found at eNotes.com.

Learn English Linking between words
When you listen to spoken English, it very often sounds smooth, rather than staccato. One of the ways we achieve this is to link sounds between words.
Using a /r/ sound
For example, we use a /r/ sound between two vowel sounds (when one word ends with a vowel sound of 'uh' (as in the final sound of banana); 'er' (as in the final sound of murder); and 'or' (as in the final sound of or). The /r/ sound happens when the next word starts with a vowel.
A matter of opinion = ""A matte – rof opinion""
Murder is a crime = ""Murde – ris a crime""
For example = ""Fo – rexample"".
Using a /w/ sound
We use a /w/ sound when the first word ends in a 'oo' sound (as in you); or an 'oh' sound (as in no) or an 'ow' sound (as in now)
Who are your best friends? = ""Who – ware – your …..""
No you don't = ""No – wyou don't""
Now I know = ""No – wI – know""
Using a /j/ sound
If you say the words ""I"" and ""am"" quickly, the sound between is a /ya/ sound. You can probably feel the sound at the back of your mouth, as the bottom of your mouth comes up to meet the top. The /j/ sound can link words which end with an /ai/ sound (I) or an /ey/ sound (may).
I am English = I – yam English
May I go? = May – jI go?
Consonant and vowel
When one word ends with a consonant (and the next begins with a vowel sound) use the final consonant to link.
An + apple sounds like a – napple.
Don't add an extra vowel after that consonant. So it's a – napple, rather than a – n – a apple.
Here are some more examples of consonants linking to vowels:
At all = ""A – tall""
Speak up = ""Spea – kup""
Right away = ""Righ – taway""
Leave it = ""Lea – vit""
School again = ""Schoo – lagain""

This recipe has been featured in a menu on the site- Sicilian Dinner Party.
Roasted Vegetable Tart
Everyone always loves this appetizer, and it looks nice too. I have varied the cheese from goat cheese to gorgonzola- both with good results.
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 35 min
1 eggplant, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 portabello mushrooms, sliced
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 Tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
1 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
2 refrigerated pie crusts
1. Toss eggplant, mushrooms, bell pepper and zucchini with olive oil in large roasting pan. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes at 450 degrees, or until the vegetables are tender, stirring once or twice.
2. Beat blue cheese and cream cheese in bowl until smooth. Add egg and Parmesan and beat until blended.
3. Unfold each pie pastry on baking sheet and pinch any tears. Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture to within 2 inches of the edge of each pastry. Arrange vegetables over the cheese and fold the pastry over from the edges, making a lip around the pastry so that it partially covers the filling.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is brown.
5. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
*Try adding a little fennel seed.

Friday Favorite: Harvest Season
I love this time of the year when the garden is in full swing. There are things to harvest daily, not just in small amounts like in spring. It's the season for harvesting armloads of garlic and buckets of potatoes, both of which I did yesterday.
All the spring planted beets are coming in, ready to be pickled into delicious goodness. I'm always in full swing of planting for fall harvest, loads of lettuce, broccoli, peas, cabbage, scallions, and herbs are germinating in soil blocks to be ready when there are empty spaces in the garden. It truly is a wonderful time of year!
What are you harvesting right now?

Susy, harvesting is in full swing here too. Cucumbers are the biggest along with green beans and green peppers. The sweet corn is a bust again this year. The ears on the stalks are not even fully formed and already the raccoons have ravaged the ears and ruined the harvest. I'm close to a fully closed garden with a six foot wooden fence. The raccoons will be dealt with next year by erecting a pallet fence wrapped in chicken wire and surrounded by a portable electric fence during the growing season. Ha, sounds all over the top, doesn't it. I'm determined to be able to grow my sweet corn without the raccoons destroying it. So next year will be the year. :-)
Have a great garden harvesting day.
to Nebraska Dave's comment
How interesting that cucumbers are doing well so near in Omaha when they're not successful here in Lincoln for myself and many friends. Maybe I need to hit a farmers market up the road your way sometime soon to look for the very big cucumbers I need for my cinnamon pickles.
to Pat in Nebraska's comment
We haven't harvested too much yet. It's our first year with a vegetable garden, and we were a bit late getting plants in the ground. However, I realized tonight that we have to get moving. I thought the zucchini was still at the blooms stage, but a peek through the thick leaves revealed all kinds of zucs. And some of them have already reached the really quite too big stage. I see how zucchinis run away from people. We've also had beets, a few tomatoes, green onions, lettuce and raspberries so far. Loving all of the fresh produce and seeing it grow in our own garden.
to Julia at Home on 129 Acres's comment
We pulled our garlic a week and a half ago, so it's drying nicely. We're harvesting green beans, chard, blackberries, strawberries, herbs, and walking onions. We don't get nearly the amount of strawberries we had in June from our tristars, but it's a treat to eat fresh strawberries through the fall.

Don't have the time or gas money to burn driving out to legendary barbecue spots like Smitty's, Kreuz, Franklin, Snow's or Louie Mueller, but have a hankering for classic Central Texas-style 'cue? You're in luck, then, because highly-regarded pitmaster John Mueller is headed to Houston for a one-day-only charity event.
Eat for a Cause is hosting Q for a Cause with Mueller on Saturday, February 9 from noon to 4 p.m. at Cottonwood in Garden Oaks.
Admission is free and will feature all the staples of Central Texas barbecue, including brisket and sides as well as Mueller's famous hand-made sausage and beef ribs. All of the proceeds from barbecue sales will be donated to the Houston Housing Authority to help provide permanent housing for Houston's homeless veterans.
Mueller is a third-generation pitmaster from the famous Louie Mueller family in Taylor, Texas, and has been featured everywhere from the Travel Channel's No Reservations to Texas Monthly, which noted his barbecue as some of the best in the state. Live entertainment for the afternoon will be provided by The Palisades, a local bluegrass and rockabilly band, so come on out and pretend you're kicking back in the Hill Country on Cottonwood's welcoming patio.
In burger news, two joints have brand-new burgers on their menus that are worth checking out, starting with The Counter. The build-your-own-burger chain that lets you personalize your burger from over 300,000 possible combinations has now added one more component into the mix: bison, sourced from Blackwing Organic Meats in North and South Dakota. The Counter announced last week that the popular protein will now be a permanent option on its menu, which also features beef, turkey and veggie patties. Bison has less fat, fewer calories and less cholesterol than skinless chicken and a lot more flavor.
"Bison has been a favorite choice of fans when we've featured it on our Market Select menu. Guests will now be able to build their own bison burger every day," said Andrew Evans, Director of Culinary Operations. "The Counter's bison burgers are made from certified organic bison that are 100% grass fed and antibiotic- and hormone-free."
Meanwhile at Kenny & Ziggy's, owner Ziggy Grueber has added four specialty hamburgers to his deli menu that feature meat from none other than Jersey's famous Pat LaFrieda & Sons Meat Purveyors, which is known for its custom burger blends. LaFrieda, which first opened in 1920s Brooklyn around the same time as Ziggy's grandfather was opening his first deli on Broadway, has customized a blend for Kenny & Ziggy's that includes prime short ribs and chuck - a blend created by Pat himself.
Of the four new burgers, you'll find: The Boulevard Big Boy, with smoked Gouda cheese, Black Label bacon, lettuce and tomato, topped with onion strings and housemade BBQ sauce; the Zigalicious, with house pastrami, aged Swiss cheese, coleslaw and Russian dressing; Mike's Mashugana with bleu cheese, Black Label bacon, sautéed mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, crispy onion rings and bleu cheese dressing; and The Big Reubowski, the burger that first appeared last year (with a contest to name it), that's a cross between a burger and a reuben with house-cured corned beef, aged Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian dressing.
All burgers feature eight-ounce patties cooked to order, and come on your choice of challah or ciabatta with a side of french fries for $16.95. Sweet potato fries may be substituted for $1 or onion rings for $1.50.

Dog found abandoned in box
ROSS TOWNSHIP (WNEP) -- A dog was abandoned at a Salvation Army drop-off area in the Poconos.
It was discovered in a taped-up box with no air holes, no food, and no water.
EXPLORE MORE: Listen to The Rewind for the week's top news and buzzy stories
This dog is doing amazingly well after what she's been through.
See Gallery
Joy is moving around just fine and on the mend at Creature Comforts Veterinary Service in Saylorsburg. But just a few days ago this black poodle was discovered dumped in with the donations at the Salvation Army in Mount Pocono.
"I heard a commotion in the back room and here the truck driver had found this dog in a box, all taped up, sealed, no air holes," Carol Lindi recalled.
Lindi, a dog lover, was shopping at that Salvation Army Monday afternoon and called the veterinary service to get this poodle back on its feet.
"She was a little bit terrified the first day and she was a little bit thirsty and a little dehydrated, but other than that, no problems," said Dr. Karin-Susan Breitlauch, Creature Comforts Veterinary Service.
Dr. Breitlauch says this cough is just stress related. She's still recovering from being left with no food, water, or even air holes in that box.
"How could anyone do that? It's just horrendous; it's like being in a coffin," Lindi added.
No one knows just how long the dog was left in the box.
Joy still has a lot of love to give, even at the age of about 12 or 13.
The folks at Creature Comforts are paying for Joy's care out of pocket now and say whoever did this needs to know about options available.
"There are options in Monroe County that would have found some sort of way to find a place for this little dog so it didn't have to be thrown out with the trash," said Dr. Breitlauch.
"I hope that somebody will recognize the dog and find the animal that did this to this poor animal," said Lindi.
Joy is up for adoption, but don't get your heart set on her. A potential forever home is already in the works for this poodle.

Improv: Funny, Brilliant and Magical
Saturday night, we had our best improv comedy show to date. You might even say it was the best improv show ever. Or you might not. Your call.
Anyhoo. We all got some very nice comments and compliments after the show, and we appreciate every one of those wonderful comments. I don't know about you, but I never get tired of hearing adjectives like funny, brilliant and magical. Still, my favorite compliments are the ones that start with, "You guys were…" You know. Plural.
Naturally, I want to be the best I can be in any improv show. Trust me, I'm not above needing ego gratification, so I really want Darren to notice when I make a big breakthrough or do something we were all beginning to think I'd never be able to do. I mean cuz he's the boss and all.
But as far as the audience goes, I just want people to think the scene was funny, brilliant and magical. Part of doing awesome improv is everyone doing the best they can to make everyone look good. The audience shouldn't be able to pinpoint who made a scene funny, brilliant or magical, because the players should all work together seamlessly to build a scene and layer information and give each other labels and make any so-called "mistakes" into improv gold.
I get that everybody in the audience has their own personal preferences when it comes to comedy, and some people prefer big characters while others prefer witty information, etc. But when improv works, the audience should feel like the scene couldn't have succeeded without each of those parts working together as one.
That's what we did Saturday night, and I am so proud of us! If you missed out, no worries. The H2G Friday Company has a show this Friday night: Menos Uno at First Fridays Bixby Knolls. So you have another chance to experience funny, brilliant and magical!
You're welcome.
