Passing on the Tradition

Waterfowlers have a responsibility to recruit new hunters, especially youth, for the sake of our heritage

by Scott Yaich, Ph.D., Ducks Unlimited Chief Scientist

I wonder how many of us remember overhearing our dads making plans to go hunting only to have our hopes dashed when we were told that just the grownups were going on the hunt. My dad often attempted to placate me by promising to take me "soon" or "next time." And while I was greatly disappointed to be left behind in those early instances, he eventually took me hunting, and I've been an avid hunter ever since. Many Americans, for many reasons, have a far different experience than I did growing up, and as a result do not hunt.

Passing on the TraditionWe currently have about 18 to 20 million hunters age 16 or older in the United States, or roughly 7 percent of the total population. But surveys indicate that the number of Americans who hunt is declining nationwide, most rapidly on the coasts and least of all in the north-central states. According to the most recent National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, which is conducted every five years by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in cooperation with other state and federal agencies and nongovernmental organizations, 12.5 million people age 16 and older hunted in 2006. This represented a 13 percent decline in hunter numbers compared to the previous survey in 2001. The drop in migratory bird hunters was especially steep, declining 22 percent from almost 3 million in 2001 to 2.3 million in 2006. In addition, duck stamp sales, which serve as an index for waterfowl hunter numbers, have also been declining in recent years. Over the long term, duck stamp sales have decreased more than 40 percent from a peak of 2.4 million during the 1970-1971 waterfowl season to an average of 1.4 million in recent years. So even as the U.S. population steadily increases, hunters are being lost faster than new ones are being recruited, a pattern even more pronounced among waterfowlers.

Why should this concern us? After all, fewer duck hunters means less competition for hunting spots and more ducks for each hunter, right? Clearly, this is a short-sighted view at best. Fewer hunters also means decreased license revenue that conservation agencies depend on to manage waterfowl populations, habitat, and hunting areas. Moreover, as hunter numbers decline so does the number of people who care enough to influence public policies important to waterfowl and hunters. Unlike the banks and multinational corporations that have become "too big to fail" in the eyes of some policymakers, duck hunters could become "too few to matter."

Why is this happening? There have long been many theories about why hunter numbers are declining when many populations of game, including ducks, are abundant compared to times in the past. Fortunately, human dimensions, the science of investigating what people think and do, is beginning to shed light on these questions. This research is providing valuable information that will help us better understand what we can do to recruit more waterfowlers and other hunters now and in the future.

Losing Touch with Nature

In his 2005 book, Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv drew attention to the growing disconnect that is occurring between children and nature. Louv even coined the phrase "nature deficit disorder" to describe this troubling social trend. Hunters intuitively understand the psychological impact that losing our connection to nature can have on both children and adults. While many of us grew up with the freedom to roam the fields, woods, and vacant lots near our homes (often with the strong encouragement of our mothers), the open territory that today's children have to roam is only a fraction of what it is was 25 years ago. Those of us who grew up with that freedom know how important it was in shaping our interest in nature, replacing fear with fascination, providing experiences that strongly influenced who we are, and contributing to our interest in hunting.

Research shows that the more interest children have in nature and the more time they spend outdoors at an early age, the more likely they are to become hunters later in life.

Research shows that the more interest children have in nature and the more time they spend outdoors at an early age, the more likely they are to become hunters later in life. In addition, unstructured play, including simple activities like turning over rocks just to see what's there and building tiny dams on trickles of moving water, is strongly correlated with a person's future commitment to nature and conservation. Unfortunately, today's kids may know more about the Amazon rainforest than the nearby creek. And structured activities like school field trips or participation in clubs do not have the same impact on a child's connection to nature.

Some of the reasons for this societal shift are based on misconceptions about the safety of our backyards and neighborhoods. A 2005 Duke University study showed that American children are now safer than at any time since 1975, but intense media coverage has fostered a sense that children are at ever-present risk outside the home. Understandably, many parents have restricted their children's outdoor activities because of safety concerns. Sadly, fear has indirectly affected the experiences that we allow our kids to have.

Research has also found that a lack of outdoor experience leads to other misconceptions about nature. For example, 30 percent of kids surveyed believed that "most wild animals are dangerous to people." The fear of the unfamiliar that exists among many parents and teachers is being transferred to our youth.

Introducing Children to the Outdoors

Nevertheless, children still have a strong, too often unfulfilled interest in nature, wildlife, and hunting. One survey documented that the overwhelming majority of youth have a high (41 percent) or medium (50 percent) interest in wildlife, and boys who enjoyed watching wildlife were three times more likely to hunt than those who didn't. Reassuringly for the continued future acceptance of hunting, a solid majority of today's youth—58 percent—approve of hunting while only 33 percent disapprove.

Perhaps the single greatest challenge we face is that fewer young people are being initiated into the hunting culture than in the past. One survey found that in 2005 only about 8 percent of children of any age were initiated into hunting, down from 12 percent in 1990. This doesn't necessarily reflect a lack of interest in hunting or a preference for playing video games or spending time online. Nineteen percent of youth surveyed said they were "very interested in going hunting" and another 25 percent said they were "at least a little interested" in the sport. And therein lies the promise for the future. Once kids had the opportunity to hunt, 56 percent said they "liked hunting a lot" and over two-thirds said they would like to hunt more often.

How do we explain the difference between hunting interest and participation among our youth? We can find the answer not through sophisticated scientific surveys or statistical analyses but simply by looking in the mirror. We are the problem. The good news is that we are also the solution.

First, it's important to understand the pattern of recruitment among young hunters. Those who begin hunting at a younger age tend to be more dedicated and active hunters later in life. Less than 20 percent of hunters have their first hunting experience before age 10, but initiation ramps up quickly as children grow older, reaching 40 percent by age 13 and over two-thirds by age 19. Adults continue to join the sport at a slow but steady rate through their 40s, after which few people start hunting.

Parents, relatives, and mentors who take young kids hunting are crucial to the recruitment of young hunters. Having a family member who hunts is a better predictor of whether a kid will hunt than other factors like growing up on a farm or in a rural area. Almost 60 percent of hunters had a mentor who influenced their interest in hunting, and nearly three-quarters were taught to hunt by their father. In fact, kids interested in hunting said they would much rather go hunting with their father than with friends. And only 2.9 percent of boys hunted if their fathers did not. Clearly there is wisdom in the saying attributed to the legendary sportsman Herb Parsons, "Hunt with your son today, and you won't have to hunt for him tomorrow."

Ultimately, maintaining participation in waterfowl hunting comes down to ensuring that future generations have the same opportunities we had to enjoy the rich, diverse traditions of the sport.

Recruiting the Next Generation of Waterfowlers

How do we get more young people into waterfowl hunting? Just ask. Surveyed youth said they would be most inclined to go hunting, or hunt more often, if their father, another family member, or a friend asked them to go along. Why don't more kids get asked to go hunting more often? The reasons vary but are all too familiar to too many of us. "Not enough time" was cited most often (44 percent). Many people are working more hours per week and sometimes making less money. Economics can have a significant impact on hunting participation because initiation rates of children in hunting families drop off dramatically when household income falls below $40,000 a year. Perhaps most unfortunately, many adult hunters expressed the feeling that the inconvenience and effort necessary to introduce youths and novices to hunting takes away from their own enjoyment of the sport. Why are we facing the challenge of declining numbers of waterfowlers? Get out the mirror again.

If you do ask young people to go hunting and they say yes (which will be most of the time), keep their interests in mind when you take them afield, especially for the first time. Having fun is at the top of the list (85 percent) according to a recent youth survey. Other reasons include "being in the outdoors" (77 percent), "being with family and friends" (75 percent), and "for the challenge" (72 percent). So it's important to help young, beginning hunters have fun and be successful.

Finally, once children have been introduced to hunting, adults should take them often. In families where the father hunted one to three days a year, 27 percent of boys and 9 percent of girls became hunters. Hunting recruitment jumped to 46 percent in boys and 13 percent in girls in families where the father hunted 10 to 19 days a year. And in families where Dad hunted 30 or more days a year, 61 percent of boys and 26 percent of daughters joined the sport. Like so many things, repetition breeds success.

Ultimately, maintaining participation in waterfowl hunting comes down to ensuring that future generations have the same opportunities we had to enjoy the rich, diverse traditions of the sport. Through a commitment to conservation, we must first conserve sufficient wetland habitat to maintain abundant waterfowl populations and provide places for people to see and hunt the birds. Through a commitment to our waterfowling traditions, we must also make the effort to recruit the next generation of waterfowlers. Our generation is the link between the waterfowlers of the past and those of the future. We must do whatever is necessary to make sure that our children and grandchildren remember us for our commitment to them as waterfowl hunters and conservationists and not for our selfishness and indifference.

Recruiting Adult Hunters

Kids may be the largest pool of potential new waterfowling recruits, but approximately one-third of first-time hunters are over 20 years old. Like our children, they depend on other hunters to introduce them to the sport. The most likely adult recruits are relatively young (18 to 34 years old); from small city, town, or rural backgrounds; and are already involved in other outdoor activities. Their interest in hunting is sparked by conversations with hunters, and more than 90 percent begin hunting only after being invited by a friend. While their motivations include being interested in getting outdoors and seeing wildlife, social reasons like being with family and friends are increasingly important to them. Between 1980 and 2006, the percentage of adults who started hunting "to be with family and friends" increased from 9 percent to 20 percent.

Encouragingly, a high percentage (42 percent) of hunters said they introduced newcomers to hunting because "they showed an interest." So merely talking with your friends about your hunting experiences may be the best way to foster relationships that ultimately lead to sharing those experiences with others.

DU and Boy Scouts Partner to Serve Youth

Ducks Unlimited's Greenwing youth membership program has received a powerful endorsement from Boy Scouts of America (BSA). DU and BSA recently signed a memorandum of understanding in which the two organizations formally agreed to work together through special youth activities and events. Scouts will be provided with rank advancement and merit badge opportunities at these events while also learning about wetlands and waterfowl conservation. This concept was pioneered by DU volunteers in Virginia's District 1 (led by the Northern Virginia Chapter), who have worked closely with BSA in their area to hold similar events in the past.

"The Boy Scouts of America looks forward to working with Ducks Unlimited to offer unique programs that focus on education, conservation, and stewardship," said Frank C. Reigelman, outdoor programs team leader for BSA. "For over 100 years the BSA has recognized the importance of conservation, and in our next century we are looking for partners to expand this important message for our members."

"This is a great example of two fine organizations with shared values and goals coming together to help develop tomorrow's conservation leaders today," said DU Senior Vice President Bruce Deadman, who chairs DU's Youth and Education Committee. "Our goal is to assist the scouts with their rank advancement and introduce them to DU and our mission in hopes that they will make a lifetime commitment to conservation."

Clio (Nearly) Invisible Speaker

Clio (Nearly) Invisible Speaker

Click through the photos of rooms above. Can you spot the Clio clear speaker amidst their furniture and decor? I struggled with a couple. It might be named after one of the nine goddesses of music, but Clio is making its debut as more like the Waldo of the Hi-Fi world. Clearview's nearly invisible speaker outputs panoramic sound from an ultra-thin, transparent, and slightly curved acrylic glass membrane mounted on a Bluetooth-connected base. Its svelte and inconspicuous design refrains not only from compromising the aesthetics of a room, but from affecting them in any way altogether.

Clio uses Edge Motion technology to circulate its song waves into a 360-degree sound experience. While cone speakers push sound from behind and in one direction, Edge Motion speakers embed piezo-electric actuators in optically clear glass stereo transducers to stimulate the sides of the acrylic. The result, an efficient, piston-like motion, rings rich and clear across the audio range.

Clio's Bluetooth compatibility enables wire-free placement--and movement--anywhere in a room. It will stream audio from any smartphone, tablet, or Bluetooth-enabled device. Base color options include silver, dark bronze, and charcoal.

Most new ukuleles — particularly cheap ones — come with low-quality strings. Switch them for higher-quality ones and you’ll be amazed at how much the sound improves. A decent set of strings costs $7 or $8, and the strings are worth much more for the amount of tone they add.

Like ukuleles themselves, different strings have different sounds and appeal to different people. So try a few out and see which ones you prefer. Start by trying the string makers with the best reputation: Aquila and Worth.

Unfortunately, with all the different sizes and tunings around, buying ukulele strings isn’t a straightforward task. If you find yourself with the wrong set of strings, you certainly aren’t going to be the first — everyone does it.

The first thing you want to check is the size of ukulele the strings are intended for. Soprano size strings work fine on a concert ukulele (and vice versa), but if you have a soprano instrument, avoid buying tenor or baritone strings — they won’t fit on a soprano ukulele.

Next, check that the strings aren’t low-G tuning (unless of course you’re looking for those specifically). Standard strings are sometimes marked high-G but not always. Sometimes you can see strings labeled aDF♯B (rather than gCEA), but in fact very little difference exists between the tunings, and so these strings work just as well in gCEA tuning. You may also see strings with the names written back to front (AECG or BF♯DA): very confusing, but these strings are exactly the same as the standard strings.

Mercifully, not all string issues are so vexing. Uke strings come in plenty of colors — black, white, transparent, brown, even pink — and they’re all perfectly acceptable.

Don’t try to put steel strings on a standard ukulele. Steel strings have a lot of tension in them. Unless your uke is designed to take them, you’re going to end up with a broken instrument.

North Korea defectors face long road to integration in South

Fighting in the Korean War war ended 60 years ago. Meanwhile, North and South Korea have grown further and further apart. For the 25,000 North Koreans who've defected to the south since 1953, fitting in is a challenge.

For Lee Min-young, life in South Korea was beyond her imagination. Now looking back, 10 years after her defection from North Korea, the 21-year old seems amazed that she's made it this far.

"When I first arrived here, I had a culture shock," Lee, who asked that her real name not be used, told DW. "I didn't know anything that other people my age knew, like using computers and the Internet or speaking English."

Lee is one of 25,000 North Koreans who now live below the demilitarized zone, the border that has divided the two Koreas since 1953. She and her mother escaped their homeland together, but were separated in China and never saw each other again. Lee only made it to South Korea with the help of Christian missionaries who still care for her to this day.

But resettlement isn't the end of the road for most refugees. Some say that getting by in hyper-competitive South Korea is even more frustrating and confusing than the lives they left behind. Overcoming discrimination is often the greatest obstacle.

Even though North Koreans have no trouble blending into South Korean society with their appearance, Lee say, their true origins are revealed every time they open their mouths.

"The way North Koreans speak is different from South Koreans. I was made fun of a lot because of my accent. I had a hard time communicating with them," she says.

Discrimination against defectors

Discrimination at the hands of South Koreans goes deeper than just different accents. North Koreans are looked down upon and distrusted because of their association with the regime in Pyongyang, say some observers.

"South Koreans have difficulty distinguishing between the North Korean government and its people," Shin Mi-nyeo of the Saejowi Initiative for National Integration, a research group in Seoul, says. "This bad image is where the discrimination begins."

Prejudice combined with a lack of education and other skills taken for granted in South Korea prevent many North Koreans from fully integrating, Shin adds.

Portrait of Kim Young-il

Kim Young-il founded PSCORE to help refugees from the North settle in South Korea

According to Seoul's Ministry of Unification, the government agency that handles refugee resettlement policy, the unemployment rate within the defector community is 7.5 percent, roughly twice the national average. The jobs they do find are generally low paid and ones that most South Koreans would not want to do.

Bridging the gap

Kim Yong-il works to help refugees overcome the divide that prohibits many from leading successful lives in the south. In 2006, Kim, a defector himself, formed an organization called People for Successful Corean Reunification (PSCORE), which relies on volunteers to help defectors from the North bridge the gap.

The group provides free tutoring services to about 600 people. Kim says the first step in bridging the gap is teaching North Koreans the things they never learned back home.

 "Refugees cannot adapt to the education system here because in North Korea they only learn about [past leaders] Kim Il Sung or Kim Jong Il," Kim told DW. "Subjects that glorify the regime are the only things that really count in North Korea."

An English conversation class in Seoul

Tutoring puts North and South Koreans in contact with each other

But beyond tutoring, Kim says one of the most important things PSCORE does to help is creating an environment where Koreans from both sides of the peninsula can interact. The volunteers are often South Koreans who want to learn more about their brethren.

"One thing that's really surprised me is just how similar we are," says 25-year-old volunteer Kim Gina. "I tell my other South Korean friends that they are just like us, they are normal people."

Breaking stereotypes

One of PSCORE's most popular programs is an English conversation class held each week at a police station in Seoul. In South Korea, English competency is a requirement for entrance into university as well as for many jobs.

Lee Min-young regularly attends the class. She says PSCORE has not only helped with her social welfare coursework at university, but she has also made many new friends through its programs.

Lee admits that before she got to know some of the South Korean volunteers, she had her own biases to overcome.

"I used to think all South Koreans were two-faced," she says, "but after meeting them here, my thinking has really changed."

Caz cross country set for league title showdown

So it is all set - the Cazenovia girls cross country team will battle Skaneateles and Westhill on Wednesday, with the OHSL Liberty division regular-season championship on the line between the two sets of Lakers, both undefeated in league competition.

This duel was set up by last Wednesday's activity in separate meets. While Skaneateles was beating CBA 20-41, Cazenovia was taking care of two other league rivals at Jordan-Elbridge, beating the Eagles and Solvay by equal 15-50 margins.

Without running together, Cazenovia managed to sweep the top seven finishing spots, starting with Rae Tobey, who won the race in 16 minutes, 54 seconds.

Hollie Marcelle landed in second place in 17:03, just nine seconds behind Tobey. Jeannette Cudney claimed third place in 17:27, while Malone Gabor was fourth in 17:42.

Michelle Karker, in fifth place in 17:56, rounded out the scoring, but Margaret Wolsey stepped up to take sixth place (18:13) and Emma Wolsey was seventh in 18:21. Alex Dolbear was 10th in 18:45.

In the boys race, where Cazenovia lost 19-44 to J-E and 20-40 to Solvay, Pat Dermody battled for individual honors, only to finish second in a time of 14:01, just seven seconds behind the Eagles' Greg Bader. No other Laker was in the top 10.

Cazenovia's girls team dueled with Tully at Saturday's East Syracuse-Minoa Invitational - but it was the Black Knights taking the team title in the Small Schools division, 23 points to the Lakers' 48.

Tully's runners claimed eight of the top 14 spots, though Tobey did finish fourth in 20:43.9 and Cudney took sixth place in 20:58.2. Karker was 11th (21:23.2), with Margaret Wolsey in 15th place (21:50.8) and Emma Wolsey 17th in 22:00.7. On the boys side, Darien Smith finished 28th in 20:17.4.

Listing Details

Daily Dispatch 35 Caxton Street,, East London, Eastern Cape
043 702 2000
The Daily Dispatch newspaper has a long and rich history dating back to 1872. It was the first penny daily newspaper published in the Eastern Cape in 1898. By 1906 the paper boasted a circulation larger and more widely distributed than any colonial paper published outside Cape Town. In its centenary it became the first newspaper in SA to offer full colour facilities to its advertisers and readers. Dispatch has also always been at the forefront of exposing injustice in its region and advocating fair treatment for all South Africans. In one of its most historic issues Daily Dispatch published a big colour picture of Steve Biko and the words “a hero of the nation” in English and Xhosa the day after Steve Biko died in police detention.

Stories like these have seen the Daily Dispatch newspaper and its online site be locally and internationally recognised for quality journalism. The most recent high-profile accolade saw the Dispatch team win the CNN African Journalist of the Year Award in 2010 and 2011.

Dispatch endeavours to open discussions and highlight issues that should be a priority on every Eastern Cape reader’s agenda so that positive change can be initiated. The paper covers a region that is the birthplace of many prominent South African politicians but remains one of the poorest provinces in South Africa at a time when press freedom could be restricted by a proposed media appeals tribunal.

Carrot Cake Loaf with Thick Cream Cheese Frosting

by jenna on January 23, 2013

I LOVE carrot cake.

I love carrot cake so much that I am requesting it for our wedding cake! To me, there’s absolutely nothing better in life than a thick slice of moist carrot cake topped with thick cream cheese frosting. I mean…it has carrots in it so it’s could be considered a little healthy, right? I ask this as I lick cream cheese icing off the spoon. I’ll tell you what I’m not wild about though, and that’s carrot cake loaded down with weird stuff like pineapple and raisins. thanks. Just give me carrot cake, plain and simple, and I’ll love you forever.

This glorious recipe comes from my friend Jenny’s new cookbook, The Picky Palate Cookbook. I love everything Jenny makes and we make her recipes at home all the time. And can I tell you what I really love about Jenny’s recipes? They are simple, no-mess-no- fuss recipes that everyone loves. You won’t find strange ingredients or complicated steps in anything….because what’s worse than finding a great sounding recipe then realizing that you can’t find one or two of the ingredients anywhere? I can’t stand that.

When I got Jenny’s cookbook, I kept flipping through it trying to decide what recipe to try first — they all sounded so good! I finally settled on this carrot cake because I have a thing for loaf cakes and already had a bunch of carrots on hand. Perfect.

The cake barely took fifteen minutes to mix together and while it baked my little kitchen smelled aaahhhhmazing. When it came out of the oven, it was all I could do to keep my paws off until it was cool and frosted. Speaking of, I really love how thick this version of cream cheese icing is! I mean, you can’t go wrong with any cream cheese icing but you know how some dribble down the sides? Not this. Super thick and delicious!

Share this cake with someone you love.

Mmmm!! Looks delicious

Caroline @ chocolate & carrots January 23, 2013 at 3:58 am

I love carrot cake too…so much so that I had it for the bottom and largest tier of our wedding cake! If you get married in Charleston I know just the bakery for the perfect carrot cake wedding cake…the one I got mine from, The Cake Stand, on James Island. It was the best and moistest carrot cake I had ever put in my mouth.

Angie @ Pint of Goals January 23, 2013 at 4:12 am

I seriously woke up this morning thinking about carrot cake and cream cheese frosting – laying in bed, I decided I would be making it today or tomorrow. Imagine my surprise when I saw your post this morning! It is a sign – I am meant to make this :)

Averie @ Averie Cooks January 23, 2013 at 4:36 am

Before I even read the post, just by the title, I thought, wow Jenny has a cake in her book I’ve been wanting to check out. And then BAM, it’s from Jenny’s book. And now I really just HAVE to make this. Jenna I love it! I love carrot cake + cream cheese frosting and that this is a simple cake to make, even better. Love Jenny’s recipes for that reason, too!

Michelle @ Eat Move Balance January 23, 2013 at 4:42 am

Our wedding cake was carrot–that’s how much I love it! I love the loaf idea–it looks delicious, Jenna!

Tabitha (From Single to Married) January 23, 2013 at 4:43 am

Say no more. You had me at “thick cream cheese frosting.” Is there any other kind? :)

Dana January 23, 2013 at 4:45 am

Love carrot cake!! Looks so delicious!

Liz @ Tip Top Shape January 23, 2013 at 4:47 am

You weren’t lying when you said this was pared down to the most basic ingredients! Love the simplicity of it all and LOVE carrot cake. Thanks for sharing 😀

Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat January 23, 2013 at 4:47 am

I adore carrot cake too! My mum is allergic to chocolate and nuts, so growing up, my sister and I never had any chocolate birthday cakes. There were however, heaps of carrot cakes and I love that you’ve chosen it for your wedding cake! The cream cheese icing sounds amazing. Carrot cake just wouldn’t be the same with anything else!

Molly @ RDexposed January 23, 2013 at 4:50 am

It appears the secret to this cake is butter and more butter. Never fails!

DessertForTwo January 23, 2013 at 4:51 am

We’re doing carrot cake for wedding cake, too! :)

megan @ whatmegansmaking January 23, 2013 at 4:53 am

I love carrot cake too, but I’d add some crushed pineapple and walnuts into mine… :) Can’t go wrong with Jenny’s recipes!

Robyn Stone | Add a Pinch January 23, 2013 at 5:05 am

Oh this looks amazing! I love carrot cake and this looks like just the perfect cake to enjoy it!

Amanda @ The Dormestic Goddess January 23, 2013 at 5:19 am

I want…no, I *need* this in my life! Ohmygoodness, this looks too good. And I’m totally on board with the whole raisin/pineapple debacle. Bad things shouldn’t happen to good cakes.

Beth January 23, 2013 at 5:20 am

Buttermilk makes everything better! Can’t wait to try another loaf cake. Your peppermint choc loaf cake is so delish that it is now my go to choc cake recipe. Maybe this will be my new go to carrot cake recipe.

Abby @ The Frosted Vegan January 23, 2013 at 5:35 am

This is totally do-able as a breakfast food, right?! If a cake has veggies, it’s healthy enough to eat anytime. Love that jar with the chalkboard tag in the background!

Angela @ Happy Fit Mama January 23, 2013 at 5:56 am

I absolutely love carrot cake. Of course the cream cheese frosting makes it all the better. Too bad hubs is NOT a fan of it at all. Maybe I should make this to try to convince him one. more. time. how good it is! 😉

Kat @ Kingdom Wedding Photography March 14, 2013 at 1:52 pm

Doesn’t that mean that there’s more for you? 😉

Melissa January 23, 2013 at 5:57 am

Mmmm I always forget how much I love carrot cake. I also love making carrot cake cupcakes from a carrot loaf recipe. It helps me portion out the food I would otherwise gobble up!

Alisha @ Alisha's Appetite January 23, 2013 at 6:06 am

Thick cream cheese frosting it all it took for you to say. I’m dying to make this! And I LOVE that you want to do carrot cake for your wedding- super unique! Your guests won’t forget that!

joelle (on a pink typewriter) January 23, 2013 at 6:40 am

I’ve never seen carrot cake in loaf form – brilliant! Makes it seem like a health food, too. 😉

Amy Walters, aDESIGNdock January 23, 2013 at 6:46 am

I’m not usually a Carrot Cake kinda gal, but with frosting like that, how could I possibly resist?!

Erica {Coffee & Quinoa} January 23, 2013 at 6:47 am

Yum! I love the idea of a carrot cake wedding cake – so much tastier than the typical white cake with raspberry!

Pippa@sundaysupperswithpippa January 23, 2013 at 6:48 am

I completely agree. Sometimes I add walnuts to my carrot cake, but in general I don’t like raisins in carrot cake and definitely no pineapple!

Ashley L January 23, 2013 at 6:57 am

Easiest way to mess up a carrot cake: addin
g raisins and pineapple. Thanks for the easy recipe!

Jana @ Happy Wife Healthy Life January 23, 2013 at 7:08 am

This looks amazing! Carrot Cake is one of my favorites, but the best part of all is the thick cream cheese frosting! Yum yum yum! Thanks for sharing :)

Carla January 23, 2013 at 7:16 am

Awww, you had to do to this to us, Jenna??? (looks really good! haha). I like the idea of a thick cream cheese frosting – excited to try it.

Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats January 23, 2013 at 7:21 am

Oh yum. Oh yum. Oh yum!! I HEART dense and moist loaf cakes, and you’re right – nothing beats a good, thick, cream cheese frosting. What an awesome recipe – thanks for sharing, Jenna!

Makenzie Ann January 23, 2013 at 7:22 am

This looks amazing Jenna :) haha now I really want to make some carrot cake…and it’s my brothers bday tomorrow so mom already baked a German Chocolate one…but can you really have too much cake?? doubt it 😉

Sarah @ Yogi in Action January 23, 2013 at 7:32 am

I love carrot cake! I will definitely be making this.

And I love that your wedding cake will be carrot cake- I hope you actually do that. Chocolate and vanilla are way overdone!

Jill January 23, 2013 at 7:33 am

I love carrot cake! And who wouldn’t love it as a loaf cake with thick slab of cream cheese frosting?! Delish!

Sydney January 23, 2013 at 8:09 am

Looks heavenly! I agree, carrot cake is so much better without the raisins and pineapple :) Can’t wait to try this this weekend! Do you think you could get away with substituting applesauce for some of the butter? I think it would make a lovely addition!

jenna January 23, 2013 at 3:57 pm

Not sure about the applesauce substitution because I haven’t personally tried that. Sorry!

Sydney January 23, 2013 at 6:29 pm

That’s okay, thanks anyways! If I try it I’ll be sure to let you know how it turns out!

Rebecca January 25, 2013 at 9:20 am

I think I’m going to use 1 stick butter, 1/2 cup pineapple yogurt (I love the pineapple/carrot flavor combination) and up the buttermilk to 1 C to make up for the last 1/4 cup of butter that I’ll leave out….we’ll see how it turns out in the end.

allie@sweetpotatobites January 23, 2013 at 8:15 am

i love carrot cake and this loaf is a great idea! agree with the other comments that adding in raisins and pineapple can be too much.

Clare @ Fitting It All In January 23, 2013 at 8:16 am

YUM! My parents had spice cake at their wedding…which I’m pretty sure is just carrot cake without the carrots. It’s a fav!

Sarah @ Making Thyme for Health January 23, 2013 at 8:20 am

Carrot cake has been my favorite since I was a kid.

Do you know the history behind carrot cake? Not to be a nerd, but it’s pretty interesting!

deva at deva by definition January 23, 2013 at 8:26 am

I love carrot cake – cream cheese frosting is DIVINE. and carrot cake is so yummy for breakfast!

Desiree January 23, 2013 at 8:39 am

Oh my I’m RUNNING to the store right now to pick up buttermilk and cream cheese to make this. Just what I need on this day. Plus my son is allergic to nuts so this cake will be perfect for him too. Thanks for sharing Jenna.

Amy James January 23, 2013 at 8:39 am

That was my wedding cake choice, love it. Can’t wait to try this recipe.

Emily January 23, 2013 at 8:39 am

Oh, I’m drooling. Carrot cake is the bomb.

Tess Marks January 23, 2013 at 8:44 am

Making this tonight!

Elisabeth January 23, 2013 at 8:49 am

This is my kind of carrot cake! I like nuts in carrot cake, but like you, I HATE pineapple & raisins in it…they just DO NOT belong there 😉

Mary @ The Kitchen Paper January 23, 2013 at 8:57 am

YUM! I’m doing my own desserts (with the help of my mom and aunts!) for my wedding, and am basically going to use every pan I have: which includes a bunch of loaf pans! I’ll put this on my list of possibilities (have to try it first, and I’m sure I’ll love it!) for wedding desserts!!

Caroline L. January 23, 2013 at 9:01 am

AMAZING! I love loaf cakes and carrot cakes and this just sounds perfect all around!

Sallie January 23, 2013 at 9:13 am

Jenna, I also had carrot cake as my wedding cake and a chocolate cake for a groom’s cake. Everyone loved them! I still think carrot cakes are very unusual to see at weddings and a really nice surprise for the guests. Plus, the top of the cake that we saved for our first anniversary was so good! Not like some of the dry-er white cakes. Yum, yum! Good choice!

Kristin January 23, 2013 at 9:28 am

Yum!!! I am drooling!

a farmer in the dell January 23, 2013 at 10:38 am

carrot cake is my favorite! it’s what we had as our wedding cake!

Alaina @ Fabtastic Eats January 23, 2013 at 11:03 am

yum! Ive only recently developed a love for carrot cake..this looks delish! I love things with frosting..lots & lots of frosting!

Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe January 23, 2013 at 1:12 pm

I am a carrot cake purist too – I love the simplicity of this cake. The thick layer of cream cheese frosting just takes this over the top. My mouth is actually watering right now!

Morgan January 23, 2013 at 1:26 pm

Have you ever had zucchini cake? I am a die hard carrot cake fan and while the zucchini cake isn’t the same, it still my #2 when paired with cream cheese frosting :) my grandma makes it all the time and I will have to get the recipe for you.

jenna January 23, 2013 at 3:55 pm

I’ve had zucchini bread, not cake, but it sounds amazing! Yum.

Tara@Sugar Spice and Bacon January 23, 2013 at 1:26 pm

Mmm looks delicious! And sounds like a great book too!!

Colleen January 23, 2013 at 1:52 pm

I love carrot cake! It holds a very fond and funny memory for me….while my husband and I were dating in college he knew I loved carrot cake so he tried to make me one. Only he didn’t have a grater to shred the carrots so he used a veggie peeler! lol! Let’s just say it was very stringy!

Diane January 23, 2013 at 3:39 pm

Sorry but that is just a crazy recipe with too much butter! You can make a very moist cake wth half that amount or with oil.

Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin January 23, 2013 at 3:48 pm

I love carrot cake too and ask for it for my birthday cake every year! And I agree – I don’t like any funny stuff in mine either haha.

Alissa January 23, 2013 at 4:40 pm

Mmmmm carrot cake is my favorite too! Also contemplating it as the wedding cake flavor for my wedding next year, I mean you can’t go wrong with carrot cake can you? I’ll have to try the recipe, looks delicious!

Katy January 23, 2013 at 5:41 pm

Now I have a craving! :-)

Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl January 23, 2013 at 6:02 pm

Carrot cake is my absolute favorite!! This looks so, so good :).

Megan | Eats Daily January 23, 2013 at 6:08 pm

I used to DESPISE carrot cake and my family loved it. My brother would always request it for his birthday and I was always so upset. I tried it a few years ago though and completely changed my mind…it is so good! I really like this recipe, it seems simple enough and there aren’t any nuts thrown in! Thanks!

Annie L. January 23, 2013 at 6:36 pm

my boyfriend got me a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and berries on top for my birthday last year, best cake ever!!!

cecile January 23, 2013 at 6:54 pm

I love carrot cake. Always made mine in a round pan never in a loaf pan. Will have to try this one!

Laurie {Simply Scratch} January 23, 2013 at 7:12 pm

I love, love, love carrot cake… and that thick cream cheese frosting is perfection! Jenny’s cookbook is full of so many recipes I want to make… I think I’ll start with this one :)

The Food Hound January 23, 2013 at 7:49 pm

Carrot cake was our wedding cake!! Don’t be afraid!! It’s a killer idea!! And this looks amazing, BTW.

Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. January 23, 2013 at 8:01 pm

I love carrot cake too! It’s just so heavenly. And the more frosting, the better!

Dana @ Conscious Kitchen Blog January 24, 2013 at 6:35 am

This cake sounds delicious – so does the frosting! I was very adamant about choosing my favorite cake (red velvet) as our wedding cake, so yeah for your carrot cake! Enjoy!

Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar January 24, 2013 at 6:43 am

I love carrot cake too! It’s my all time favorite. This quick version sounds like such a delight. Great recipe!

bnw January 24, 2013 at 7:25 am

Would you do anything different to make these cupcakes? Please let me know!

Taylor January 24, 2013 at 7:51 pm

I would just bake them for a much shorter amount of time. Try 20 minutes and then go longer if a toothpick comes out wet.

Elizabeth Johnson January 24, 2013 at 8:41 am

I live in a little Scottish village and cannot get my hands on any buttermilk, can I substitute milk for buttermilk?

Rebecca January 25, 2013 at 9:12 am

I live in Mexico and can’t get buttermilk either. For a substitute I always just use the same amount of whole milk minus a tablespoon or so and add 1 T of vinegar to the milk. Let that sit for a few minutes and you’ll see the milk start to curdle and thicken like buttermilk. Always works perfectly for me.

Herble Pills Store January 24, 2013 at 11:54 pm

Carrot cake is my favorite this looks so sooooo good

Sheryl (Mimi) January 25, 2013 at 4:10 am

Jenna….Made this and took it to work, not a crumb left, was so good. I added a cup of nuts, love me some pecans, thanks for sharing, and good luck with the wedding plans!!

Marie January 27, 2013 at 7:50 pm

Just one more bride who had carrot cake with cream cheese frosting as the bottom tier of our wedding cake. The guests loved it! Friends had another huge carrot cake at our couples shower, too. Sadly, one birthday I had four different carrot cakes from family, friends and work. After being a sport and eating a piece at each gathering, I can no longer stomach it.

irritable bowel syndrome January 28, 2013 at 12:07 am

always ask for it for my birthday cake every year…crazy about carrot cake..

Todd January 28, 2013 at 8:05 am

This is the first time that I have seen your blog and after reading your post about Carrot Cake, I will be adding it to my favorites. You had me hooked with these three lines, “I’ll tell you what I’m not wild about though, and that’s carrot cake loaded down with weird stuff like pineapple and raisins. thanks. Just give me carrot cake, plain and simple, and I’ll love you forever. I have a Carrot Cake recipe that I tweaked and have been using for the last 12 years and as you mentioned, no Pineapple, Raisins or nuts.

Jamie January 28, 2013 at 10:14 am

Made it. Devoured way too much yesterday. Not sure whether to love you or hate you for posting this recipe but wow – SO GOOD! Many thanks. = )

Condory January 30, 2013 at 7:49 am

Hey can anyone maybe tell me how does coffee shops get their carrot cake frosting so hard? I can only do the normal fluffy soft one. PLZ PLZ PLZ if anyone can tell me let me know!!!

Kat @ Kingdom Wedding Photography March 14, 2013 at 12:03 pm

Have you checked out the recipes on the King Arthur Flour website? I just took a baking class there and they are an amazing resource.

Reply January 30, 2013 at 10:10 pm

carrot cake is so sweet.i like it

Ringing in your ears February 1, 2013 at 3:33 am

Oh this looks amazing! :) haha now I really want to make some carrot cake…

Kate February 13, 2013 at 3:42 am

Do you take the cake out of the loaf pan while hot or after it has cooled?

Cervical myelopathy March 12, 2013 at 4:02 am

I love carrot cake too! It’s my all time favorite…..

Kat @ Kingdom Wedding Photography March 14, 2013 at 12:01 pm

Funny … we just signed up for a CSA share and are now drowning in organic carrots … this recipe came just in time!!!!! Off to baking loaves of carrot cake bread.

Laura Dembowski August 22, 2013 at 1:06 pm

This looks super yummy, and it was posted on my birthday – a sure sign I should make it asap :)

Jacqui October 8, 2013 at 10:36 am

I have a feeling I’m the only person who has EVER actually made this recipe. The cake in the picture is NOT the cake you will get if you make this. The cake you will find in your kitchen upon completion of this recipe is nowhere near that dense. It is light and crumbly and totally falls apart. That is not even close to the worst part, I should have edited the recipe with my common sense which the person who wrote this recipe obviously does not have. WAY TOO MUCH butter and buttermilk involved. There is way too much batter, I didn’t even put all the batter in the cake pan but it still liquified and bubbled over making a huge smokey, charcoal, STINKY mess in my kitchen not to mention the hours of oven cleaning I now have on my chore list. I wanted to strangle someone after re-reading about how it will make your house smell nice or whatever, yeah if you think the smell of smoke filling your house and the smell of burnt black cake batter is appealing. I had to set up fans and open all the windows even though it was cold and raining and I still got a headache from all the smoke. This recipe could easily make 2 smaller loaves not 1 9×5. I followed the recipe EXACTLY, I am a homemaker and I spend all my time in the kitchen. I have baked countless cakes, cookies and pies from scratch and have never had any issues. I make dinner from scratch every night and am always using new recipes I find online. I have been cooking for decades and have a good sense for what works and what doesn’t. I only have myself to blame for following this recipe from this Jenny person that I have never heard of, I really should have gone with Martha Stewart or someone trust worthy. After putting a foil lined cookie sheet underneath this unfortunate disaster cake in my over to catch the obscene amount of falling cake batter I finished baking. After removing the cake from the pan I trimmed the parts off that had cooked over the edges and let it cool, it was so crumbly I knew it was going to break apart during frosting so I put it back in the pan with foil around it and left it in the fridge for a few hours to set, I made the frosting with 1 3rd less butter (I had already wasted so much expensive butter on the damn thing) and it came out very tasty. It didn’t drip but it wasn’t super thick as promised. I had added more cinnamon and a little nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice to the batter and the cake came out tasting pretty good but certainly not worth the nightmare. I made this cake yesterday and actually had some for breakfast this morning, It is pretty good like I said but I would never trust another recipe from this person and recommend that anyone attempting these obviously amateur recipes proceed with caution and with their common sense on full blast.

jenna October 8, 2013 at 1:09 pm

That recipe is straight out of my friend Jenny’s cookbook and has been tested by both me and her with great results. I’m so sorry it did not work for you!

SouthernBelle October 20, 2013 at 7:16 am

And also the weather and temps outside plays into factor as well.

kristal November 21, 2013 at 2:59 pm

Made this yesterday and it was met with rave reviews at work today.
It did take longer to cook…closer to 80 minutes.
It was absolutely delicious, moist and very tender.

Thanks for sharing the great recipe.

Carrie November 21, 2014 at 9:38 am

I know this post is almost two years old at this point, but I just wanted to leave a comment saying that this cake turned out really well for me. I almost didn’t make it because of a previous commenter’s negative review, but I decided to risk it anyway, and I’m so glad I did. I hope other people on the fence about making this recipe will give it a shot, because it worked perfectly in my home kitchen. My only tip is to make sure you only put 2 sticks of butter into the cake batter itself, as the recipe text says–the remaining 1/2 stick of butter is for the frosting!

Weekly Doses of Villainy Live from McDonalds

Preface: Fast-food is really bad for you. If that isnt enough of a deterrent, the people working at McDonalds are as likely to serve you as kill you. Thats a real statistic. Oh, and as always, this conversation will make me come across as an asshole - but you'll find it's justified. Swift

Premise: I attempt to order 10 four-piece nuggets, the servers brain explodes.

Server: May I help the next customer in line please?

(I step forward)

Me: Yes, hi.

Server: What can I get for you?

Me: I said hi.

(the server gives me a tired look)

Server: Hello.

(I stare blankly)

Server: (sigh) How may I help you today?

Me: Oh, well let me see

(I stare at the board above. The menu hasnt changed substantially since I was last there 8 years ago, but I feel the need to take a long, drawn-out look)

Minutes passServer lady looks at methen behind me at the line. To my sides other cashiers have each gone through two other customers during my browsing session.

Me: Excuse me miss?

Server: Yes?

Me: Do you have a 40 piece nugget?

Server: 4, 6 10 and 20.

Me: Okay okay. So I could order like two 20 piecers right?

Server: I suppose you could.

Me: Right okay. Oh geez, but thatd be like 18 bucks.

Server: (nothing)

Me: Thats a lot of money.

Server: (nothing)

Me: Is it a lot of chicken?

Server: 40 nuggets, yeah.

Me: How many chickens would you say that is total?

Server: Like 6 maybe?

Me: Really?!? Wow! 6 chickens for 18 bucks thats a steal! Thats like what? $6 a chicken?

Server: Yeah thats right.

Me: No its not.

Server: (nothing)

Me: Man, 6 chickens. Or I could just go for a Big Mac. How many chickens in a Big Mac?

Server: Its beef.

Me: Alright, how many beef-made chickens?

Server: I dont-

Me: I know I know. But imagine, if you will, a world where beef comes from chicken and chicken comes from cows. You follow?

Server: Cowsgive birth to chickens?

Me: Dont get smart with me. Im talking in meat terms. So how many burgers do you think a single chicken could make.

Server: that depends on the burger sir.

Me: Quarter pounders.

Server: 12?

Me: 1/3 pounders?

Server: 16?

Me: Big Macs?

Server: I dont

Me: Have any concept of fractions I know.

Server: Are you ready to order?

Me: Yes, I think so. I want 18 chickens worth of nuggets.

Server: A 40 piece?

Me: You dont have 40 piecers.

Server: 2 20piece?

Me: Thats far too expensive.

Server: (anger) What then?

Me: I want 10 4-piecers.

Server: Really?

Me: My way, right away, right? Thats your motto right?

Server: Actually

Me: or was it Eat Fresh. Thats a good one, real catchy. Short. To the point.

Server: Subway.

Me: I dont want Subway. Are my nuggets ready?

Server: I havent placed your order yet.

Me: Why not?

Server: You havent paid.

Me: Capitalist pig.

Server: Excuse me?

Me: How many nuggets in a pig?

Server: Thatll be $10.89

Me: How much is that on a per nugget basis?

Server: I dont-

Me: Can you check? Ask your manager?

Server: (nothing)

Me: Please, Im doing a survey.

Server: Really?

Me: Yes, Im a secret shopper testing for customer service.

Server: Ill get the manager.

(the server leaves the desk and heads back into the kitchen area, he talks to a plump little Hispanic guy and they both return)

Manager: Can I help you sir?

Me: Yes, Im with Associated Shoppers, can you give me your stores franchise number?

Manager: Our what?

Me: Your ID # something something. The number that identifies your McDonalds from the billions of others?

Manager: Why do you need that?

Me: Its part of my thing.

Manager: The secret shopper program?

Me: Yeah.that one

Manager: I didnt know secret shoppers did fast food.

Me: Its a new.branchsection of the program

Manager: Why did you call me over?

Me: Oh, yes, right. How many nuggets wait I need to lay some groundwork for this. Lets say that Chickens werent the only animals-

Manager: Are you serious?

Me: Let me finish. This has a point.

Manager: Lets get the point out of the way first.

Me: Oooh, I would but its important that it have context. Sorry. Alright, so, lets say that not only chickens produced their white meat but cows and pigs as well, you follow?

Manager: I dont have time for this.

Me: Oh, Im sorry, I thought you cared about customer service.

Manager: As far as I can tell youre not a customer, youre just a-

Me: Yes?

Manager: Im sorry, I didnt mean to get angry.

Me: Its quite alright. Im used to it. Its not right subjecting managers to surprise inspections like this. Fundamentally, Im against it.

Manager: Then why are you a secret shopper.

Me: Are you calling me a communist?

Manager: What?

Me: I thought McCarthyism died long ago. But its nice to know theres still a restaurant in Oregon where it lives on.

Manager: I didnt mean-

Me: Are my nuggets ready?

Manager: I dont think we ever processed your order.

Me: Well why the hell not?

Manager: Please settle down sir. What did you order?

Me: 10 4-piece nuggets.

Manager: Very well Ill- oh, Im sorry sir theres a limit on Dollar menu items.

Me: Why?

Manager: We wouldnt want to run out of low-priced items for other customers.

Me: Now, whos the communist? I thought this was a capitalist country. Hell, McDonalds is the living, breathing entity of capitalism around the world. No matter where you are. No matter what language is spoken around you. You can rest assured that when the craving for 20 chickens in small bite-sized servings rears its ugly head McDonalds will be there.

Manager: (nothinglooks embarrassed)

Me: You know what? Thats fine. Im taking my business to Wendys. She may be a whore but shell do whatever she can to please her customers. Unlike this communist insurgent in our midst. Im reporting you. Youre scum.

Manager: (nothing)

I leave but take 20 little ketchup packets and what I\'ve now counted to be 23 straws, I looked for some of the sauce packets but I suspect they keep those behind the desk. Am i a jerk?...Swift

Top Ten Hallmark Valentines Rejects

10. I admire your strength, I admire your spunk, But the thing I like best, is getting you drunk.

9. Our love will never become cold and hollow, Unless, one day, you refuse to swallow.

8. I bought this Valentine's card at the store, In hopes that, later, you'd be my whore.

7. This feels so good, it feels so right, I just wish it wasn't $250 a night.

6. You're a woman of style, you're a woman of class, Especially when I'm spanking, your big-round-fat ass.

5. Before I met you, my heart was so famished, But now I'm fulfilled. . . SO MAKE ME A SAMICH!!!

4. Through all the things that came to pass, Our love has grown. . . but so's your ass.

3. You're a honey. . . and you're a cutie, I just wished you had J-Lo's "booty".

2. I don't wanna be sappy or silly or corny, So right to the point, let's do it, I'm horny!

1. If you think that hickey looks like a blister. You should check out the one that I gave to your sister!

Tiger Woods' Balls

On a golf tour in Newfoundland, Tiger Woods drives his new Ford Fusion into a gas station in a remote out port. The pump attendant, obviously knows nothing about golf, greets him in a typical Newfoundland manner completely unaware of who the golfing pro is.

'How's she cuttin' bye' says the attendant.

Tiger nods a quick 'hello' and bends forward to pick up the nozzle.
As he does so, two tees fall out of his shirt pocket onto the ground.

'What are dose?' asks the attendant. 'They're called tees' replies Tiger. 'Well, what on god's earth are dey for?' inquires the attendant.
'They're for resting my balls on when I'm driving', says Tiger.
'Fookin Jaysus', says the Newfoundlander, 'Ford tinks of everyting!'

Introducing Designer Drains

      We are proud to introduce and add Designer Drains™ as the newest and most creative shower drain grates available in the market place today, enhancing the look of any drain, Truly Jewelry for your shower™. Designer Drains™ are made from solid metals such as Brass, Copper and reclaimed 304 Stainless Steel and are "Assisting the environment, one shower at a time."  No plastic or PVC is used to manufacture these incredible shower grates and they are proudly made in the U.S.A. keeping America working.

      Designer Drains™ shower grates are available for Kohler™, Zurn™, Mifab™, Schluter-Kerdi™, SQ Smith™ and ebbe-America™ drains.  Designer Drains™ innovation, attention to detail, sophistication, and quality are all elements that enhance the overall design of their shower drain grates.  Designer Drains™ are also available for Trough or Linear shower drains in a variety of sizes and designs. Designer Drains™ add that extra little something to the any shower design concept.

       ebbe-America™ believes they are a world leader in square drain innovation, design and manufacturing of square shower drain grates and accessories.  The square design of the E4400 square drain riser allows for simple and easy tile cuts, saving precious time and money.  It's easier to cut tile to a square drain than to cut, nip and grind to fit a round drain.  Glass mosaics tiles are easy to install. When tile cutting is needed, cuts are straight saw cuts, no grinding to match a radius.  ebbe-America™ square shower drain grates are sized to match standard 1/2”, 1”, 2”, and 4” tile without cutting.

       The E4400 series square drain riser provides a friction fit, no binding, no screws required to hold the ebbe-America™ square shower grate in place.  ebbe-America™ square shower drain riser is shipped with a construction plug used while tiling your shower, keeping debris from entering the shower drain.  The riser is designed to thread into the female threads of standard shower drain fittings, and many adapters are available to fit most all drains in the marketplace.  We have made it easy and offer the ebbe-America™ square drain riser complete with either a PVC or ABS shower drain, so all you need is a ebbe-America™ square drain grate to complete a shower installation.

       No screws necessary for installation of the heavy ebbe-America™ E4400 square drain grates.  Screws are a bother to remove when you have to retrieve an earring or remove trapped hair.  The first time someone removes a screw with a screwdriver, the finish could get damaged.  Screws can pop out of your fingers into the drain and get lost. Replacing those small designer screws in the many different finishes would be impossible, not standard hardware screws.  Each square shower grate has a Stainless steel clad glass polymer composite frame, an elegant 25 hole grate pattern.

      All ten designer finishes are 100% PVD finish the most durable finish available and are warranted for life.  The ebbe-America™ square shower grates are color fast for indoor or outdoor use.  Easily maintained no special cleaning and are great for the pool area.  Each grate is provided with a grate puller for easily removal without damaging the square shower drain grate.  All ebbe-America™ square shower drains and accessories are in stock, usually ship same day and are proudly keeping America working.

The Horsieman

Memories of a Traveller 1928-58

The Horsieman by Duncan Williamson
Add to cart
US$ 7.99
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Duncan Williamson was the son, grandson and great grandson of nomadic tinsmiths, basket makers, pipers and storytellers. In this book, he describes his life as a traveller with verve, candour and intimacy, recounting a childhood spent on the shores of Loch Fyne, work on the small hill farms in the summer, walking with barrows and prams and later with horse and cart, the length and breadth of Scotland. He recalls camping with hundreds of traveller families from the 1940s to the 1960s, his marriage to his cousin, Jeanie Townsley, and all the various traditional skills and arts which must be perfected for a man to maintain his family adequately."The Horsieman" is the story of traditions long vanished - of traveller trades, of building tents, of routes travelled and traditional camping sites, of stories, songs, music and cures which have been the heritage and tradition of travelling people in Scotland through the ages. Set mainly in Argyll, Tayside and all stations in between, Duncan Williamson's story is told with great warmth and humour and in the inimitable style of one Scotland's master storytellers.

Care Diary: A One-Stop Solution to Manage Complex Caregiving

By Meghana Giridhar
August 25

According to “Caregiving in the US 2015”, a joint research report between the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, the typical higher-hour caregiver, who provides unpaid care for at least 21 hours a week, has been caregiving for an average of 5-1/2 years. Family caregivers also typically have a heavy load of responsibilities and juggle multiple roles when it comes to family and work. They are considered the silent backbone of healthcare in our country. On a daily basis, the caregiving process involves complex tasks such as: •    Researching and understanding conditions affecting a loved one •    Managing doctor’s appointments •    Managing medications •    Finding assistance and services •    Handling finances     •    Shopping for specialized equipment that may be required by the caree •    Coordinating legalities •    Keeping other family members abreast of the situation •    Getting the right kind of support eCareDiary, a web community created based on the founders experiences as caregivers for their parents, is here to help with its unique solution called the Care Diary. Winner of the 2010 New Product and Technology Award by the Mature Market Resource Center, the Care Diary is a set of online tools designed to make care coordination and sharing of information easy amongst the family’s care circle. The Care Diary is a private resource to tackle the day-to-day challenges of caregiving. It’s your personal online calendar that helps you: •    Manage doctors' appointments •    Manage and track medications for your elders and get reminders •    Organize important legal documents and insurance plans •    Coordinate care between family members through the Care Circle, a private and secure place accessible to only those you provide login information to •    Share updates and photos through the Journal Featured in AARP’s ’11 Technologies You’ll Want Now!” as well as in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, the Care Diary can help family caregivers take control, get organized and become better managers of their loved ones' care.

Eze Castle Integration Guides Hedge Funds Through Cybersecurity Planning with Expanded Information Security Consulting Service

BOSTON – April 30, 2014 – Eze Castle Integration, Inc., a leading provider of strategic IT solutions and private cloud services to the investment industry, today announced it has expanded its Information Security Consulting Service to help firms satisfy the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) cybersecurity guidelines. Eze Castle Integration’s experienced consultants will create Written Information Security Policies (WISP) for clients that address the administrative and technical safeguards a firm needs to withstand a cybersecurity incident and demonstrate preparedness.

In an April 2014 Risk Alert, the SEC stated it will conduct cybersecurity-focused exams of more than 50 registered broker-dealers and registered investment advisers.

Eze Written Information Security Policies will be delivered by Eze Castle’s security and compliance consultants who utilize a proven methodology from assessment through implementation. Key elements include:

  • Operational and Technical Risk Assessment
  • Administrative and Technical Security Policies and Procedures
  • Execute Safeguards
  • Train and Maintain Program

“Our team has created Written Information Security Policies for clients since 2009 and extending this service to focus on SEC cybersecurity guidelines is a natural extension of our team’s experience,” said Bob Guilbert, managing director, Eze Castle Integration. “Given our deep knowledge of hedge fund technology and operations, Eze Castle Integration is in a unique position to help clients put the necessary security safeguards in place to protect their firms from cybersecurity attacks and help ensure they meet SEC expectations.”

Eze Castle Integration is also hosting an educational webinar on May 6, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. ET titled, “Preparing for SEC Cybersecurity Exams: How to Assess Your Firm's Readiness & Comply with the Latest Guidelines.” Attendees can register here: http://www2.eci.com/l/5322/2014-04-23/w6tw7

Green hybrid electric system could be the future of Formula One racing

f1 cars

Many of us have been witness to the sheer speed and astounding power of those adroitly aerodynamic beasts astutely swerving past the meandering tracks in a Formula One race. And now think of this happening in with a bunch of even more advanced hybrid cars competing in a tension filled crunch race, and contributing to much lower emissions of carbon. Well, one can scoff at it or have a reverie, but there is every possibility of this happening in the very near future.

There are talks that from the 2013 season, FIA governing body is going to bring in this new hybrid system. Though there are some eminent people such as the F1 ‘supremo’ Bernie Eccleston, who are voicing their concern over the decision. According to them, the electric substitution can lower the incredible ‘engine roaring’ effect, which tends to draw in most of the crowd. And even the overall efficiency of the cars can be reduced.

But again on the sustainable side, the boss of the Williams team Adam Parr says that this will allow the drivers to switch onto electric power for their time in the pits. F1 does already use clean KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems), where the kinetic energy of the vehicles are recovered to further boost up their speeds for overtaking maneuver. Moreover, with the paradigm shifting in the corresponding automotive industry, the F1 being an epitome of vehicular eminence has to logically proceed with the ‘green’ progression. Low emissions can ultimately prove to be beneficial for our environment, come what may.

Moreover, the unique allure of hybrid cars can certainly be counted as an important factor. Giving credence to this fact is the Toyota Prius, a hybrid car which sold a whopping 2 million units by 2010 worldwide. So, at the end the day, the questions might still hang – is F1 ‘old school’ enough to be run by the purist lines of petrol propagation? Or can it alleviate itself for the much greater cause of sustainability?
