How Baby Carrots Are Made: A Tour Behind the Scenes of a Baby Carrot Harvest
Grower Tour
Have you ever wondered where baby carrots come from? These bite-sized crunchers have experienced a pretty incredible journey by the time they wind up in our lunch boxes and snack trays. I recently got the carrot's-eye view of this whole process during Grimmway Farms' fall carrot harvest. It all starts with a big field, rows upon rows of green-topped carrots, and the hot California sun.
Baby carrots start off life as actual, honest-to-goodness, full-sized carrots — although they are usually picked while still young for best sweetness and texture. These carrots are planted closely together to encourage them to grow straight down into the earth and develop a uniform width. This makes it easier and less wasteful to cut them to baby carrot-size later on.
The harvester mimics what would otherwise be done by hand: a pincher grabs the tops of the carrots while a shovel-like tool loosens the earth under the carrots. In one motion, they are scooped from the ground and carried up onto the harvester. The front wheel keeps the harvester aligned on each row.
Once carried onto the harvester, the carrot tops are snapped off and the carrots themselves are transferred into the waiting truck bed. The tops are discarded behind the harvester, where they are either turned back into the soil for mulch or gathered to be used as cattle feed.
Once a truck is full, it drives back to the processing facility. The carrots are washed out of the truck with hoses and carried into the facility in water luges. The luges are for more than just transport: the buoyant carrots are carried along on top of the water while dirt and rocks sink the bottom. A small amount of chlorine in the water (4 ppm, about the same as most tap water) helps to sanitize the carrots and ensures food safety. The water is recycled several times through the facility before ultimately going back to water the crops.
In the facility, the carrots are sorted according to size and cut into 2-inch pieces. They are then stored for 1 to 5 days before final processing. Carrots actually respire and generate heat after they've been harvested and cut; this storing time gives them a chance to settle down before they're packaged. It also allows the farm to harvest and package the carrots in two separate steps, allowing for continuous packaging during both peak season and slower moments.
Finally, the carrots are peeled and polished into their signature baby carrot size and shape. The carrots are sent spinning down a spiral slide with a grated surface (much like a microplane). As the carrots tumble and turn, the peel is rubbed away and the edges rounded. The pulp created during this process either goes back to compost the soil or to cattle feed.
The baby carrots are sorted again by size, and then packaged into bags for delivery to the store. Microscopic perforations in the packaging allow the carrots to continue to respire and releases the CO2; since many spoilage-causing bacteria thrive in a CO2-rich environment, allowing the CO2 to escape improves the carrots' shelf life.
There you have it! Baby carrots are pulled from the field as long and skinny carrots, and get whittled down, step by step, into their snack-worthy final form.
Do you love baby carrots? What do you do with them?

Hmmm, my question is: why? Who decided to whittle away whole carrots in the first place? What is their purpose? I find them stringy and not nearly as sweet as whole carrots, nor are they as pretty.
I do not "love" baby carrots, they loose their flavor and dry out because their natural skin is removed. Or they are packed in water. I agree with @breezyslp: why?
While I can appreciate that the "pulp" goes back into compost or feeding cattle (what about the chlorine?), it seems like a waste to me. Carrots have become basically another uneccessarily processed food. (Don't get me started on pre-peeled bananas.)
We get our carrots from a local farm, soil and all. Plus, we get the bonus of carrot tops, which are great for soups!
Well, they sure are convenient as a snack. One of my favorite snacks is baby carrots and hummus. I have had tasteless, dry baby carrots before, but the ones I usually get are very sweet, maybe because they are organic.
"Where do baby carrots come from? Well son, when a mommy carrot and a daddy carrot love each other very much..."
My dog loves them!! I find them bitter but he polishes his teeth with them.
Why?? Just buy the whole carrot and cut it!!!
Wait, pre-peeled bananas are a thing? how does that make sense?
Thanks for an interesting, informative post with great pictures! It kinda blew my mind a few years ago when I learned that baby carrots are just cut up whole carrots, so it's nice to see what all goes into it. I love theKitchn "field" work!
I definitely prefer "adult" carrots. I find most baby carrots to be dry and tasteless, and they are more money.
Ditto Aninhas - pre-peeled bananas? What? Why??
I work on a farm. The term "baby carrot" would technically mean a carrot which is in its earliest stage of growth, not a full-grown carrot which has been sprayed with a chemical and whittled by machinery, then sold to the public and given a catchy (but incorrect) name. Great marketing gimmick, but give me a "real" carrot from the farm! Those packaged "baby carrots" taste horrible.
@breezyslp -- Actually, baby carrots were originally made in the early 90's from the gnarly, bumpy, un-market-worthy carrots. They were a way of adding value to a product that would otherwise have just gone to cattle feed or compost (ie, not generating income). Then baby carrots became so popular that farmers started making them intentionally. Crazy, huh?! (I'll probably do another post just on this sometime soon.)
Thanks for posting this article, I found it very informative, even though I knew baby carrots were NOT baby carrots. Even though real carrots are better, I love the baby carrots for the convenience. Sue me.
I prefer full sized carrots, something about baby carrots tastes "off" to me. It's the same odd flavor/smell I find in many pre-made bagged salad mixes.
We use a good number of regular carrots, and usually they are sliced or diced, which seems to go faster with full sized carrots as well. But it's neat to see how the carrots are harvested. That's pretty cool machinery.
I like to grate my own cheese. It tastes better. I like to peel and cut my own carrots. It tastes better. I wash and cut my own celery. It tastes better. I chop my own romaine. It tastes better and lasts longer.
I think it's great that they initially made "baby carrots" from the gnarly bit that would have been wasted. Smart thinking on the farmers part but I am sad that convenience means so many people are eating less tasty food and there is more packaging going into the land fill.
Thanks for the interesting post, Emma. I love seeing how things are made. While I personally prefer to buy whole carrots because I find them more flavorful, I have no beef with baby carrots. They're very convenient and I don't underestimate the value in that.
Convenient packaging can often be the deciding factor between someone choosing to eat a healthy meal or snack instead of something unhealthy. There have been many weary nights I've stopped by Trader Joe's after work and taken advantage of pre-washed/cut vegetables so I could make cobble together a quick and healthy meal when I would otherwise be inclined to grab something just as quick, but not so good for me. I find it to be a worthy trade off.
discerning: Your comment totally made me laugh!
I've come to love the convenience. Yes, they can taste 'off' but it's not a regular thing - I find most bags sweet and nice. I've got the storage sorted - I refrigerate them in a sealed container with a slightly damp paper towel liner. No dry carrots, no moldy carrots.
And yes, I cook with them too when I feel like it.
I won't buy them. Regular, full-sized carrots for me. They're honest produce, not ersatz "baby" carrots. ("Baby" anything implies young, and I also don't care for being misled. If you've ever had a REAL baby carrot you know what I mean.) Even the largest carrots are delicious when either roasted with some olive oil, garlic and herbs or steamed and then tossed with butter and either herbs or orange juice and a touch of brown sugar and allowed to caramelize a bit. As for the convenience argument, how long does it take to slice a few carrots into coins or sticks for snacking?
Thanks for the description of this process, it's really interesting to see how the foods we eat come to our table and nice to see they reuse so much during this process. Carrots have long been one of my favorite foods. When I was little I was always snacking on carrots. At family gatherings, I usually ate all the carrots on the veggie plate and I loved to get the full size carrots with the stalk and eat them like Bugs Bunny. I also liked dipping carrots in ketchup for after school snacks. I rarely have problems with the taste of these carrots, every once in a while I get a not great tasting batch, but if you cook and flavor them they're fine.
Now I pretty much only use baby carrots, mostly for convenience- no peeling, usually no cutting. They are always part of my roasts, oven or crock pot, and they're perfect for a side I make with potatoes and ground cloves. Of course, they're always good for snacking. Thank you to the hard-working farmers for these yummy carrots!
I understand the convenience angle, and I won't say I'll never use them - someday when there's more than just my husband and one toddler to feed it might just start to happen even though we aim for more of a whole foods type diet. But for now I prefer to buy a 5lb bag of carrots every week and 'hand-process' them into carrot sticks for the week (my husband eats a LOT of carrots). It's nice, methodical work and I feel more confident about eating them. I have noticed a chemical smell from 'baby' carrots and it doesn't thrill me. Then again...I buy the baby spinach pre-washed in tubs, and what's different about that from eating processed baby carrots?!
I like baby carrots! I think they taste fine, and I'd rather have a bag of baby carrots in the fridge for snacking instead of a bag of chips or crackers in the pantry. As far as processed foods go, these guys are minimally processed.
This was a great tour - I'd love to see more posts like this one.

The Palmers were celebrating New Year's Eve in Atlanta when Callie went into labor, almost two months earlier than her due date.
"I guess the whole thing caught us by surprise because we were literally down in Atlanta just to celebrate New Year's. I mean she's two months away and I was literally thinking, 'Oh, it's probably not a problem. We're just going to go down to the hospital and get a quick checkup and go back to the hotel so I can get some sleep,'" said Andrew. "That's how the drive down Peachtree started and then when we got there things had progressed a little bit and we had got into the emergency lane at the hospital and the guys came and got her. It's all a whirlwind after that. I thought they were literally gonna give her something to calm her down and we were going back [to the hotel] and that's when the nurse came and said, 'Well, are you ready?' And I said, 'Ready for what?' And she said, 'You're going to be a dad tonight.'"
Their son, George, was born weighing 4 lbs, 4 oz and spent two and a half weeks in the NICU; he was not due until Feb. 15.
"They had to do an emergency C-section because he was stuck in my birth canal ... He couldn't maintain his body temperature for the first two days and he had to learn how to suck and swallow but other than that, he didn't have any major problems," said Callie.
The Palmer family was named Bartow County's 2013 Ambassador Family — representing March for Babies, sharing their story and raising awareness of the severity of premature birth. In Georgia alone, 19,500 babies were born premature last year. They are excited to spread the word of what the campaign is all about.
"Literally, I didn't know how much they did until almost after the fact and that was the amazing part, it's not in your face, it's those things that make those traumatic times so much easier... They saved our kid," Callie said.
March of Dimes has supported many important research breakthroughs in newborn and child health, including providing the funding which led to the identification of the double helix structure in DNA. Funding also led to the development of the first screening test for PKU (phenylketonuria). Today every baby is screened for conditions that can be life-threatening, thanks to research funded by March of Dimes.
This year's March for Babies will be held at Dellinger Park on May 3. Registration for the 2-mile walk will begin at 6 p.m. with the race starting at 7 p.m. Last year $54,000 was raised from the march. The goal this year is to raise $75,000 for March of Dime's 75th year.
In honor of the March of Dime's 75th anniversary guest speaker Elizabeth "Betsy" Burton explained why the march is important to her. Burton is the great-granddaughter of Basil "Doc" O'Conner, who along with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt started what is known today as the March of Dimes.
"It's really important to me to be involved because it was something that my great-grandfather worked very hard on. He was involved with the March of Dimes for over three decades and it was something he really believed in. He was actually still around when they had kind of won the battle with polio and he got everybody to shift their focus to figure out how they could still keep the March of Dimes going but serve the needs of others. And so before he died in 1972, he kind of knew the new mission of the March of Dimes and where it was headed. I'd like to be involved to be part of that and to keep that going, just because it really meant a lot to him and it was a good part of his life that he spent with the March of Dimes. So I'd like to keep that tradition alive."
March of Dimes began after Roosevelt's personal struggle with polio encouraged him and O'Conner to establish the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis at a time when the viral disease was growing.
Radio fundraising asked Americans to "send your dime to President Roosevelt at the White House." Fundraising was so successful that the foundation later became known as March of Dimes. Research funded by the campaign's success led to the development of the polio vaccine, ultimately ending the polio pandemic in the United States.
After the foundation's original mission had been completed, the focal point changed from the fight to end polio to preventing birth defects and infant mortality.
Since 2003 March of Dimes has launched a multi-year campaign designed to raise awareness and find the cause of prematurity through their Prematurity Campaign. In the United States, half a million babies are born early each year making prematurity the number one killer of newborns. In 2008, the campaign was expanded globally. Worldwide, 15 million babies are born premature, according to marchofdimes.com.

The house I am purchasing has a window right in the shower. Why? I don't know..probably no shower there when the bathroom was built would be my guess, then the next owner put a shower in maybe? My question is, there is now ceramic tile around the whole bathroom, YUK! I will be getting rid of it, but is there anything I can do about this window? I know it has to be protected from the water, really dont want to get rid of it unless I have to, it already has blinds built into the window, but is it possible to put a tub surround up and cut out where the window will go? There is a wood frame around the window, can I get rid of that for the surround? My other option is to just rearrange everything, moving the tub, sink, toilet, but I know that is alot of prob expensive work too..any suggestions? Thank you!
One of the apartments I lived in before purchasing my house had a window in the shower, and it was a godsend. I just opened it after showering and let the moisture escape. Easiest shower I ever had to clean because the moisture didn't accumulate as much as in closed bathrooms.
There may have been a good reason why the owners put a window in the shower, and most likely it was for ventilation. Given the blinds, it might also have been for privacy, and/or just allowing natural light into the area. How close is this house to the neighboring house?
Perhaps you could ask the existing owners before the deal closes and get some insight.
Is this the same house you posted about sometime ago, the one with possibly visiting bears?
thanks sprite! No different house..the first didn't accept my offer..oh well! But, yes, I do need to find a way to put up a surround around the window if possible. As I said the whole bathroom is that ugly yellow and green 6x6 ceramic tile, which I hate, I know to use backerboard in the tub/shower, then the surround, but the window..do I remove the existing wood frame? I am thinking I do to avoid the rot, but how do I take care of the rest of the window so there is no water damage? Im pretty sure it is vinyl with the blinds built in to it, so what next? I havent even moved in yet, but already planning!! Want to redo as soon as I become the owner, the past owner has died and its the out of town kids selling it, so they are not an option. Guess I will have to just go see the bears on my own time now, since I didn't get the other house..
Perhaps just as well about the other house; as I recall, it had some significant drainage issues.
I don't have the expertise to answer the technical aspects of your question on adapting to the window, but there are certainly people here who do and I'm sure they'll stop by.
Do you have any photos you could post for them? Might make it easier to see exactly what's there on the shower wall.
And you can probably enjoy the bears more if you see them at a zoo instead of in your backyard!
I will try to find the pic with the window,,ur right about the bears! haha!!
Here is the pic..the only one available, but it does show the window and the wood frame and the ugly tile around it.
Several options that we have done many times:
1. If the existing window is vinyl, then you can keep it where it is. The wood trim has to go though. You can trim into your new surround with vinyl trim. Or, if the new surround s tile, you can use bullnose tile to trim up to the vinyl of the window jamb.
2. You can loose this window completely and replace it with a glass block window. You can build it from scratch or just custom order a pre-built one of the correct size. Pricing is not much different with either option. Here too, any trim work needs to be a totally waterproof material.
3. Make the window go away. This is the best option if you are installing a prefab fiberglass surround. Just remove all interior trim that protrudes bast the wall line, clean the window very well and paint the glass white from the inside. If you have room between the window and the surround, add some insulation. Then install your surround right over the old window. Usually, for normal window and surround heights, you'll need to add a small strip of drywall to cover the top of the window.
From the inside, there is no window there at all. From the outside, it looks like a window with the shades drawn all the time. But doing this keeps you from having to re-do siding on the exterior.
Thanks Jaybee! I like option 1 the best..because I do want to keep the window for the light coming in. I plan on remodeling the whole bathroom, getting rid of all that ugly tile. Guess that must have been a hot item in the 40's because the house I am in now, had that same tile in the shower/bath and I knocked it out and put up backerboard and it looked great! Not myself of course, but I knocked it out, a great stress reliever!! Ha ha..now that I know it can be done, I will have it done. And it will be just a fiberglass surround, I didn't know they sold tile surrounds! Thanks again! Much appreciated!! Im sure I will have more questions as the buying of this house comes upon me!
If it's any consolation, I think the tiles are charming, in a Victorian sort of way. I'd change the shower curtain to a solid color, but to me the bathroom has a lot of character, but then I do love old Victorians and period houses.
Hi Sprite, yes, I definitely plan on changing the shower curtain..that on is hideous!! Like I said, I am not yet the owner of the house..so haven't changed anything yet!! And, if there are tile surrounds, I will look into them..thanks!
To clarify: You MAKE tile surrounds - liner, backer, install tile one at a time. There is no tile surround that is in one big piece to install.
Other surrounds can be fiberglass, vinyl (usually cheaper versions) or made up of solid surface panels.
Hi xslii.. many homes in my neighbor hood added showers over tub with a window on outside wall. what most done was to block off window and add new window above shower head. May be this will work for you. Good luck. most homes have stucco exteriors
In the meantime, (till you decide to renovate), a clear shower curtain hung over the wall with the window, would keep any water from damaging the area.
Hi Jaybee, that is what I thought..thanks!
granpaB, thanks but I think I will leave the window where it is..the shower head is already to the right of the pic..
Conrad, thanks thats is what they have there now to protect the wood on the window..HATE IT!! Hopefully that will be one of the first projects I take on!! Haha
heres my solution..i had a rental,it had a window in the shower..it had wood rot and mildew
i fixed the wood...then hung a nice curtain in the window
and installed a cultured marble surround over the window...from outside...looked good
from inside..looked even better.

AJR reflects on Kindertransport events
We were deeply honoured to enjoy the generous hospitality of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales at a fabulous reception at St James's Palace on Monday 24 June as part of a series of events this year to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Kindertransport.
AJR members, including several from overseas, were thrilled with the opportunity to meet and chat to Prince Charles and to continue the conversations they had at the Kindertransport reunion that took place at the JFS the day earlier when we were thrilled to welcome nearly 600 guests.
As part of the programme at JFS, guests heard from the former Foreign Secretary, the Rt Hon David Miliband, whose parents were refugees from Nazi oppression, and the comedienne and actress Maureen Lipman, who starred in The Pianist. As part of the proceedings, JFS pupils performed a re-enactment of the debate in the House of Commons that precipitated the creation of the Kindertransport and the JFS choir sang a selection of evocative songs.
Guests also heard from Baroness Hanham, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and from the UK Envoy for Post Holocaust Issues, Sir Andrew Burns.
Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, whose grandfather Dr Georg Salzberger was the Rabbi of the Westend Synagogue in Frankfurt am Main, the interior of which was destroyed on Kristallnacht, and Rev. Bernd Koschland, a member of the KT planning committee, led a service of remembrance and guests had the opportunity to view the Wiener Library's new exhibition, Child Refugees: Five Portraits from the Kindertransport.
Above all there was a unique opportunity for Kinder to socialise and renew acquaintances and to introduce old friends to their children and grandchildren.
To see pictures from the reunion click here and from the reception click here. To order copies of photographs taken at St James's Palace click here
We were also delighted to organise a special gathering on 20 November 2013 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the debate in Parliament that led to the creation of the Kindertransport. To read the full story, click here
To round off the year, we helped World Jewish Relief arrange a memorial service at Liverpool Street Station on Sunday 1 December, to mark the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the first transport of children on 2 December 1938.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 17, 2011)—After overcoming some anxious moments in the saddling paddock, Majestic City showed a new dimension while remaining undefeated as the talented 2-year-old captured the $100,000 Hollywood Juvenile Championship Sunday at Hollywood Park.
The Juvenile was the first of two Grade III races on the final day of the Spring/Summer meet.
One race later, Imponente Purse, the 5-2 second choice, rallied to take the $100,000 Sunset Handicap.
Owned by Jeffrey Bloom and trained by Peter Miller, Majestic City had led throughout in the first two victories of his career, including a 3 ½ length score in the Willard L. Proctor Memorial Stakes June 12.
In the Juvenile, the son of City Zip and the Meadowlake mare It'schemistrybaby tracked from the outside as the 9-10 favorite while 9-5 second choice Night Tide made the lead.
Entering the stretch, Majestic City was actually third as Brigand, a stablemate of Night Tide in the barn of Bob Baffert, challenged from the inside.
Ultimately, the chestnut colt took charge, drawing clear in the final sixteenth. The margin was 2 ¼ lengths and the final time for the six furlongs was 1:10.45.
Ridden by David Flores, Majestic City, who has been favored in each of his starts, returned $3.80, $2.60 and $2.10. He's earned $135,570.
"He got startled by the crowd in the paddock and he sucked back and lost his footing,'' said Miller in explaining the pre-race issues. "He didn't flip over, but he kind of fell sideways. The rule is that if a horse flips, they scratch him.
"He didn't actually flip, he kind of fell more sideways. I want to thank the state veterinarian (Dr. Dana Stead) who allowed the horse to warm up to see how he was and allowing the horse to run.
"He looked perfect. He got real antsy behind the starting gate, which he had never done before. So we've got more schooling to do with him, but the way everything is going, we're happy.
"You've got to run hard and fast to beat Baffert. Those were two nice colts he beat. I was a little worried at the quarter pole because he wasn't really moving and then at the eighth pole he really leveled off and continued on.''
Miller said Majestic City will likely make his next start in the $150,000 Best Pal Stakes, a Grade II at 6 ½ furlongs Aug. 7 at Del Mar.
A New York bred son of Flatter, Brigand, the 4-1 third choice in a field reduced to six after He's a Bandit and Ruler of Dubai scratched, paid $4 and $2.20. He finished 1 ¼ lengths in front of Night Tide. The show price on the third place finisher was $2.20.
Completing the order of finish were Pond Oreille, Super Candy and Rino S.
A Brazilian bred gelding, Imponente Purse provided jockey Chantal Sutherland with her fourth stakes success of the meet in the Sunset.
Owned by Coudelaria Jessica and trained by A.C. Avila – the same connections that won the Royal Heroine Mile July 4 with the mare Celtic Princess – Imponente Purse came wide into the stretch, running past Falcon Rock late to earn his fourth win.
A son of Public Purse and the Sunny's Halo mare White Tea, Imponente Purse ended a seven race losing streak in the turf marathon. Winning for the first time since taking an optional claimer on the Hollywood Park grass last Nov. 19, Imponente Purse covered the 1 ½ miles in 2:26.65 while winning by 1 3/4 lengths.
Now 4-for-19 lifetime, the 5-year-old increased his bankroll to $188,627. He returned $7.60, $4 and $2.60.
The 5-1 third choice in a field reduced to seven after the scratch of morning line favorite and 124-pound highweight Acclamation and Atticus Jack, Falcon Rock paid $5 and $2.80. He finished 1 ¾ lengths in front of 3-2 favorite Celtic New Year. The show payoff on Celtic New Year was $2.20.
Runner-up in the Grade I Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap June 11, Celtic New Year faded after gaining a clear lead with about an eighth of a mile to run. He wound up three-quarters of a length in front of First Settler, then came Victorian Prince, pacesetter Restless Soul and Ashtar.
"He deserves some luck,'' said Avila of the winner. "He had bad luck in the race at Santa Anita (a head loss in the San Juan Capistrano April 17), so we had to close the meeting with some good luck.
"He's always like that, one pace, one pace, one pace. He came back fresh before his last race. I want to freshen him more.''

Abandoned Disneyland in Beijing China.
It's as if you hopped off of your flying elephant and walked straight into an apocalyptic wasteland, surrounded by scrubby grass, empty buildings, and the shell of a Magic Kingdom. This is the ghost of a Disney World-style amusement park in China, abandoned partway through construction, and now a hauntingly beautiful scene of decay.

The Gateway to Gold initiative is a talent identification program that will introduce people with physical and visual disabilities to Paralympic sport and lead them to the athlete pipeline for the U.S. Paralympic Team. As a cornerstone of Gateway to Gold, U.S. Paralympics and its community partners, including National Governing Bodies, Paralympic Sport Clubs and veteran organizations are hosting introduction to sport and talent identification events across the country. The Gateway to Gold program is a prospective athletes' first step toward the podium as well as a significant component in the organization's mission to have the U.S. Paralympic Team ranked No. 1 in the world like its Olympic counterparts!
The program's objective is to grow the number of Paralympic-eligible athletes competing in sport in the U.S. by conducting talent identification events and ongoing sport programming that aligns with U.S. Paralympics' mission and goals. The target population for the program is Paralympic-eligible (classifiable) athletes with a physical, visual, or intellectual impairment. Emphasis is being placed on high school to collegiate-aged athletes; however, events are open to individuals of all ages with Paralympic-eligible impairment.
If you are interested in learning more about becoming an identified U.S. Paralympics emerging athlete please review our sport classifications, results, standards and the annual sport performance plans, and then complete the athlete questionnaire.
The questionnaire can be found here.

On October 18th we hiked the Hancocks via the Hancock Notch Trail. We started at 8:20 am at the trailhead near the hairpin turn on the Kancamagus Highway. At the parking lot we met Lisa J and Jeff; members of the MWO forum.
It was a crisp 32° at the start. This seemed quite cold for us since we recently had 80° temperatures (in Baltimore) when we left on Friday. The trail was littered with fallen leaves, which made it more colorful than the contrasting brown of the trees.
Along the way we saw firsthand what many trip reporters have been mentioning, regarding the fungi growing on the trees and on the ground. This one resembles an ice cream sundae; some other people think it's a one eyed duck.
The trail continued at a moderate elevation gain until the last 7/10's where we reached the spur trail to the overlook near the summit of North Hancock. We were greeted by some hungry Canadian Jays.
We were then joined by other hikers, which made the three rock slabs quite crowded.
We left the overlook at around 12 noon to go over to South Hancock. We reached the second peak by 12:55 pm. Close to the summit is a fine view to the East and Southeast.
One the way down from South Hancock some fine views of North Hancock can also be seen.
Along the trail we met 3 dogs who had brought their owners out for a hike and we encountered a couple stream crossings which were negotiated quite easily.
We reached the trailhead once again at approximately 3:30 pm and we were already planning our next hike: East Osceola!

Ornate and substantial, this ring features a pool of purple with eye-catching depth. A large cabochon of deep purple amethyst is set with sterling silver scrollwork prongs. The openwork scrolls continue down the shank in this ring that is beautiful from every angle. Ring measures 5/8" long x 3/4" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
In the garden, the first colorful buds emerge with spring. Blooms unfold, vines curl across the earth, and summer is a bounty of growth. Autumn brings the year's first chill and leaves that flame orange and red. At year's end, filigreed fingers of frost unscroll along window panes and the sky glows with a lovely winter's blue.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Effortless moments of magic
by Daniel von BernstorffThis year's Designers' Saturday held in the Swiss town of Langenthal certainly confirmed the trade fair's standing as one of the finest and most creative design events in the world.
Cell offices and cubicles are considered negative examples of office design. The era of what we would today regard as the human office started with the "Citizen Office". Concepts such as the "Net'n'Nest" symbolize the attempt to combine networking and concentrated work. So will we in future work in a kind of adventure playground for adults?

A chair of distinction
by Markus FrenzlPlastic Chairs for all! How one 1950s chair design became an expression of the desire for individuality that shapes our times.
On the silver screen and at Orgatec, office environments are depicted as having a life of their own. What kind of image of reality do they convey? A rummage through the film archives and walkabout in the trade fair halls.

As kids we use to make a guy (a bit like a scarecrow) and stick at the end of the street and beg from people passing by to spare a penny for the guy (the guy being me! ). Then the poor guy would get set on fire later (not me!).
I haven't seen this done of late, but I'll keep my eyes open and report back if I see this kid money maker is still in play.

The Berlinale is for Germany what the Oscars are for Hollywood. Stars and starlets, culture and commerce, glitter and glamour at a festival of distinction that attracts over 400,000 film fans, 20,000 industry professionals, 4,000 journalists and as many as 400 films, mostly world and European premieres.
Stuttgart International Cartoon Festival – Festival of Animated Film (ITFS) is one of the world's biggest and most important festivals of animated film. Every May up to 1,000 cartoons from all over the world are screened in Stuttgart , revealing an exciting glimpse of the depth and breadth of the genre. This is a global industry event with a relaxed atmosphere in attractive surroundings.
Since its launch in 1983, the Munich Film Festival has cemented its position as the second-biggest film festival in Germany. Over 2,500 German and international media professionals working in film, TV and video, more than 600 journalists and around 70,000 visitors get together to watch over 200 films on 18 screens – making this a genuine audience festival as well as a key diary date for film critics and the film industry.
Hamburg Film Festival genuinely is for ordinary folk. For ten days every autumn, around 140 German and international feature films and documentaries are screened in ten locations and seen by over 40,000 fans. All are world, European or German premieres, and most are introduced by the film makers themselves, Q&A included.
Dresden's film nights on the Elbe have taken the 'big' screen quite literally to heart. Not simply because this is Germany's largest open-air film festival but also because since 2004 the films have been shown on the world's biggest mobile screen, which measures a gigantic 448 square metres or 32 metres by 14 metres – offering a superlative cinematic experience.
The Breminale, the huge arts festival in Germany's smallest federal state , has been held on the Weser riverbank every summer for around 25 years. Excitement reaches fever pitch in the red and white striped tents, on and around the stages and everywhere else on this festival site which stretches for almost a kilometre, as around 100 bands entertain hundreds of thousands of visitors with an extremely diverse and thrilling programme.
Spectacular theatre in an atmospheric setting off the coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania : Ralswiek open-air theatre on Rügen island's Great Jasmund Lagoon comes into its own when it hosts the annual Störtebeker Festival – especially when the waterside stage is lit up by the magical glow of fireworks on every evening of the festival.

Fishin' with Capt. Gus: Fishing boat anchors
The fishing world, like everything else, has changed considerably over the years.
Some can remember when crappie and bream fishing boats were equipped with only a bush hook and enough line to tie the boat to a tree along the shoreline. That was OK, but it was hard to cast when the boat swung under the tree limbs, and there was always the possibility of a snake falling into it.
More creative fishermen tied a rope to a cinder block or to a couple of window sash weights to keep it from drifting. Others welded several re-bars together to form a grappling hook.
Then along came bass boats and everything had to be neat and professional in appearance. Rustic anchors of the past where replaced with vinyl-coated navy, river and mushroom versions.
Not only did they look good and blend well with the color of the boat, but they didn't mar the finish on the boat like the old galvanized or cast iron anchors did.
Next came the anchor-mate, a device that allowed one to store, deploy and retrieve the anchor by free spooling or cranking a handle attached to a spool mounted on the bow or stern. Better yet, an electric anchor winch was devised that would eliminate the need to hand crank.
In recent years, bass fishermen and back country saltwater guides have replaced rope, chains and anchors with power poles and stainless steel rods.
The power pole anchor is a device mounted to the transom. It has a hydraulic arm that silently deploys in seconds. Even though a bit expensive, the speed, quietness and convenience of remote control anchoring is worth the cost to serious anglers.
Depending on the unit and the accessories, a shallow water power pole ranges in price from $1,000 to $2,000 or more. The most popular models hold in water to 10 feet deep.
The Cajun anchor is a ¾-inch diameter stainless steel rod available in lengths to six feet. It attaches to a line and is thrown like a harpoon into water over a soft bottom.
It is used quite successfully in saltwater marshes where the bottom is mucky. The holding power of the Cajun anchor is unbelievable, and when retrieved, it is not coated with gobs of mud. It can easily be stowed in a rod locker. A two piece version is available for small boats, canoes and kayaks. The Cajun anchor is very quiet. No anchor chain is required for additional weight or holding power.
Minn Kota, maker of electric trolling motors, has a GPS guided remote control model with a feature known as "Spot- Lock" that works like an electronic anchor. Simply push the anchor button on the remote and the motor will hold the boat within 5 feet of the designated spot.
Modern anchoring technology is great, but always keep a traditional anchor, chain and line on board just in case.
Tips from Capt. Gus
When white perch refuse to hit, add a live crappie minnow or a small strip of cut bait to a Sabiki fly or jig. The additional action and/or scent might tempt a bite.
The 34th Annual Lake Norman Shrine Club - Dogwood Bass Tournament is scheduled for 7 a.m.-4 p.m. April 6 at Midway Marina in Terrell. Based on 100 boats, first prize for this charity event is $2,500. For additional information, call Bill Cork at704- 516-0506
Hot spot of the week
Look for bass in coves and pockets where they are staging to spawn. Best bets are Ramsey and McCrary Creeks.
Crappie and white perch fishing is good-to-very-good on small minnows. Drop fish them around submerged brush and fish attractors.
Striper fishing is fair for "hot hole" fishermen using bloodworms on the bottom or casting Zara Spooks on the surface.

Great Light
Adam D
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Easy to use. Easy to Install. Light and small. What more could you ask for.
Simple, inexpensive and bright!
Adam Saucedo
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
NiteRider Stinger Taillight. One click on the light turns it on. It has a flashing mode and a steady mode. It is super simple to mount to your seat post. The strap is elastic so goes around your seat post, strap it in and you are good to go! I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive but high quality taillight for your bike.
Great little light!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Not much to say here but this little light is very visible to motorist and anyone coming up on you. I use this light on my seatpost for rear approaching vehicles. The blink or steady mode is great. Battery life is very good too. The unit uses the common CR2032 battery which is easy to find. So if you are like me and want to be seen and not become hopefully some stat in a motor vehicle wreck then get this little light and be seen. Just a note I have used this unit in warm/hot/cool/cold/wet weather and never a failure.
Great with Minimal Footprint
Ian Matteson
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a great rear light for riding at night or in low light. It works just as you'd expect it has two modes blink and constant. The only complaint I have is the attachment band is removable from the light so it can get lost. Otherwise this light is a champ!
easy to use
Brad C.
this rear red light is very easy to use. it wraps around your seat post or whichever bar you want to put it on. it flashes or stays solid, depending on which mode you prefer. to turn it on simply push the physical light up or down - this will toggle through the different modes.

Disclosure rules governing reportable transactions continue to evolve, creating new compliance requirements and exposure to costly penalties. For example, transactions have been both added to, and removed from, the IRS's list of "listed transactions." To keep up to date with any changes in the tax law, it is critical to have a well-defined and documented process for identifying, analyzing, and disclosing reportable transactions.
Our Tax Controversy Services group can help your company keep pace with the requirements for reportable transactions and address exposure to new penalties. This group provides a wide range of scalable services, from transaction analyses to process improvement reviews and IRS audit assistance.

I see Messam is back, how are they going to work both Boyd and Messam in same backfield. Nice problem to have.
Simpson has done a pretty good job in Winnipeg. Wonder how Messam will feel sharing the backfield with Boyd, got to be bumbed out he didn't even make a practice roster down south. Want to see him play first. But I can't see the Esk's keeping them both.
Messam signed on till end of 2014. That takes care of him, what happens with Boyd?
About the only team that needs a back is the Argos, and I can't see him going back there. Don't know what he's getting paid, but I think its more than any CFL team would want to pay for a back up.
But I won't be surprised in the next few weeks that some running back gets injured and they'll come knocking on the Eskimos door.

Interested to see what they do with all the backs. Don't know how they can carry 2 imports at RB, esp. when the back signed longterm is Canadian. See if all 3 are in the game?
Messam, Boyd, Charles, and Mccarty all had rushes in last nights game but only combined for a total of 11 carries. Meanwhile Joseph had 7. Its time for them to do something about it cause I imagine all the players are starting to get confused and angry with their roles.
^ Keep Messam and Charles and try to deal Boyd. I guess unless they just sit him and wait for a back to go down on another team then move him out.
Kavis Reed the first coach to be fired in the offseason this year. Can't say I'm surprised, it was a disappointing year all around for the Esks
