Instant Couscous - is it bitter, or is it me?
- greygarious Feb 1, 2009 09:57 AM
The 5-minute appeal of instant couscous is undeniable, but I have not been happy with the results. I have tried several brands, including Near East and Trader Joe's, and both regular and whole wheat. There always seems to be a metallic aftertaste. I normally use very little salt, and am making the couscous in Pyrex in which the water has boiled. Even if I make it in broth (so, more salt) I detect the aftertaste. I confess that I've never gone so far as to try spring water (my tap has a Pur filter) but since I don't have this problem with rice or other pasta, I doubt that it's the water.
I buy the Near East garlic & olive oil flavored cous cous all the time and I've had a problem. I sometimes by the parmesan flavored one too.
I use Near East all the time. Love it. Never an aftertaste. I use plain, and the garlic and one other. Usually always cook in low salt broth, my own if I can and add some dried mushrooms which are good, scallions, sometimes sundried, depends what I am having it with. And sometimes plain. Always good to me. Bought another brand in a large jar, sorry name escapes me. Same taste more expensive. Even did some from whole foods. Same result again. Way more money ... same result, no difference in taste. So back to Near East. Sorry can't help.
re: goodhealthgourmet
No clear, I just looked at one in my pantry
re: kchurchill5
thanks for checking, kc5.
greygarious, what type of pot are you cooking it in?
re: goodhealthgourmet
As in OP, Pyrex, in the microwave.
re: greygarious
oy, sorry. i really have no business "Hounding" while sick...this cold is clearly affecting my brain function :)
assuming you're talking strictly about the plain, unflavored varieties, i'm at a complete loss. and now i'm going to wonder about this! i hope someone can be more helpful...
re: goodhealthgourmet
I usually just heat my broth always use broth in a measuring cup in the micro and add to a pyrex bowl with the couscous, cover with saran and forget it.
I thought for a long time that I didn't like cous cous because I'd only ever tried the instant type, and found it bitter.
re: saraeanderson
Aha - not just me! I was about to ask what brands you do like but since it's the speedy preparation of instant that prompted me to use it, I don't really care about longer-cooking options. If I'm going to have to cook it longer, I can just as readily use a small-shape pasta like orzo or acini di pepe (sp?).
re: greygarious
I dont really understand what instant cous cous is. Normally you just boil water add cous cous, cover it and its ready in about five minutes.
To me it is inherently and instant food.
What is the difference with instant? im sure if its bitter it's because of some kind of flavor packet. Instead just put some butter, salt, olive oil, in when you add the cous cous. If its not too much trouble also add some herbs, spice, or dried fruit. For example someone mentioned garilc and olive oil flavour. You could just add these two things to the "non instant" version, and bingo you got it.
re: gastrognome
Just couscous what don't you get. I just call it couscous cuz it is instant. No difference. Just a quick cooking grain Usually I get the plan sometimes I get a garlic flavored one. No packet, but the plain is just as good and flavor yourself. It is just good.
I guess I just say instant cuz it is quick, same as all the other couscous out there. sorry if we were confusing.
re: kchurchill5
Couscous is not really a grain per se, but just a form of pasta.
re: Sinicle
I was generalizing, sorry. I should of been specific.
re: gastrognome
I was reminded to ask the question because couscous was featured on today's epidose of "Lidia's Italy". She showed the several varieties and explained them; instant is couscous that has already been cooked, then dried. Other couscous takes longer to cook, and there are various sizes of pellet. The Wikipedia article discusses some of the differences.
The bitter, metallic aftertaste that I perceive is in plain instant couscous made by adding boiling water and letting sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Doesn't matter if I do or don't add salt. Using broth does not cover the off-flavor for me.
re: greygarious
I use Near East and haven't noticed on off taste. Does it still taste that way if you cook it on the stove? I have never made it in the microwave before.
re: danhole
Water boiled in the microwave is different than water boiled in a pot on the stove? If anything, I'd expect the pot to affect taste, not a Pyrex glass measuring cup. Enough other posts on this thread agree about the aftertaste that I think some of us have taste buds and noses that are detecting something most people don't.
re: greygarious
Not really saying that, just curious if it makes a difference. I thought that maybe the couscous picked up some sort of taste from the microwave. But I will admit I am not a supertaster! Now my daughter is and can pick up flavors that I never detect. Now that I know you can cook it in the microwave I will do that next time.
re: greygarious
I think you're right about the sensitivity. I don't find it bitter but do find it stale tasting and smelling.
re: gastrognome
What you are describing is instant couscous. Non-instant couscous doesn't rehydrate in 5 minutes, as greygarious notes.
re: Caitlin McGrath
I just made couscous for the first time last night, and thought there was a mistake in the recipe when I saw 3 to 5 minutes cooking time. This was a recipe from the newspaper: the box said there were instructions on the side panel but there weren't. There were a couple of recipes on the back that involved meat and called for cooking in a tangine for 2 hours. But I did my non meat recipe and it was delicious in 5 minutes.
My box (Belaria brand) doesn't say instant, just "Couscous". So now I'm confused. By the way it cost $2.19/lb at Fairway. Can't wait to try it as a cold salad this summer, so quick and easy.
Just realized, my neighbors where I used to live were from Morocco, and she made tangines for me whenever we came over. She told me how it was a special treat for them because she had to go shopping in Manhattan to get all the right ingredients. They're back in Morocco now, retired, so good for them. I'll guess I'll stick with this stuff for now. Maybe it was underdone, but what do I know?
re: coll
I think for the most part the couscous sold here in the US (and certainly all of the boxed products) is instant couscous, the cooked then dehydrated type, even when it doesn't say "instant." Instead of seeking out instant, you need to specially seek out the traditional kind if you want it.
re: Caitlin McGrath
I emailed my friend in Morocco this morning, don't know what time it is there but when I hear from her, I'll let you know if she has anything else to add. Since it's a new addition to my repetoire, I'm investigating!
I don't detect a bitter or metallic flavor, but I have found that couscous tends to have an "off-smell," as if it were rancid. Since it's just flour and water, like pasta, I doubt that it is rancidity--and I have never smelled this in regular pasta, even if I had it in the pantry for several months. The smell is there in both cooked and uncooked couscous. Perhaps it has something to do with the manufacturing process.
re: Missyme
Don't notice it or any smell sorry. I love it.
re: Missyme
I too noticed a rancid 'off' smell with couscous when I last bought it even though it was inside the sell-by date. I have eaten couscous many times before but haven't previously noticed a smell. I wonder if it was a particular batch (I live in the UK by the way so it is unlikely we bought from the same batch). Do you know if it is safe to eat when it smells like that?
re: Aryl03
Rancid fats can damage the liver but I have no idea how much or how little will cause a problem. I think there may be an element of rancidity in the off-flavor I experience with instant couscous. I just don't use it anymore, convenient though it is. I can cook other small pasta shapes, like orzo or ditalini, in a small amount of water/stock, stirring often, in only a few minutes longer than it takes to make instant couscous. I recently bought Trader Joe's couscous mix - a larger pellet mixed with colored orzo and split peas/lentils. This takes longer to cook, and isn't ideal because the legumes are still a little tough when the couscous is finished, and I found the same unpleasant taste in THAT size couscous. I give up!
re: Missyme
I just bought a jar of whole couscous from Sur la Table and it smelled and tasted rancid - for sure. I couldn't figure it out. Then I read that whole couscous can go rancid because it contains the germ of the wheat which turns rancid with age. I'm returning the jar which says it's well within the time limit.
Do you think it's possible that you are tasting something that isn't really there, because you're expecting to taste the metal? Could you have had one truly metallic/bitter batch, and are now afraid you're going to get the same thing every time?
I have psyched myself into thinking certain foods always tasted weird because of a single bad experience I'd had in the past. I still can't eat 16-bean soup to this day because of one horrible batch I made with liquid smoke back in 1993 while I was trying to get over the flu. Every time I try to have a bite of any version that recipe today, I immediately "taste" that liquid smoke and it makes me feel sick again. In fact, I'm getting a little queasy even typing about it now.
I eat instant couscous all the time, usually a whole-wheat one. Never tasted anything off.
re: dmd_kc
I believe you. Tuna casserole ... not just because it is bad ... in my opinion but it has a taste. The lady who made it the tuna just smelled bad to me. My mom made it a few times for me and it smelled great and my friends even loved it. Much fresher and unique, not just the mush that some make. Well to this day I can't eat it . That same smell no matter what.
I've noticed an 'off' flavor in instant cous-cous, too - I can actually see it described as either metallic or rancid (I always thought of it as a rancid-flour-flavor).
In various cooking adventures, I've tried to find NON-instant cous-cous (not the big Israeli ones, but the small-grained variety), but somehow haven't managed to find it. I've heard that you can also get it fresh, but that is difficult in Seattle. Anyone ever tried to make it from scratch, or found fresh or non-instant?
I love it and have never noticed it bitter. I boil the water, toss it in, cover and then for plain stuff I usually add a lump of butter, garlic, a handful of parm. Today @ Publix they had spinach flavored, and tri-color couscous. New to me. I held the tri-color in my hand but it was $9- and I wasn't sure if we would like it. It's from RiceSelect. Previously I bought the Near East Toasted Pine Nut and found it to be delicious.
re: Boccone Dolce
Yikes. You can get 2 lbs of tomato, spinach, or tri-color French couscous from Kalustyan's for $9.99 (see link). I can't speak to RiceSelect's, but Kalustyan's tri-color couscous is very nice; unlike tri-color pasta, the tomato and spinach varieties actually have a different flavor than the plain. Kalustyan's has great-quality bulk grains, legumes, spices, etc., too if you're ever looking to fill out an order.
re: Boccone Dolce
Near East Pine Nut or the Roasted Garlic are my favorite. I did get some from a local whole foods type place. It was also good but I didn't really notice any difference between the box and the other. I've had tomato couscous which I love.
if you have supertastebuds (not a supertaster, as I actually DO like cilantro), yes, couscous is slightly bitter. I don't consider myself to have such buds, but have tasted such bitterness. I usually off-set it with cooking with broth instead of water. Any brands I've used plain (water only, no salt, sea salt, himalayan salt, etc) same bitterness.
re: Caralien
I think some folks are confused about the "supertaster" thing. There are a few ways of testing. One is to put a packet of Sweet 'n Low (saccharine) in 5-6 oz of tepid water and taste. If it's strongly sweet, you are a non-taster; a mild mix of sweet/bitter, a regular taster; very bitter, a supertaster. Supertasters tend to find coffee and vegetables - especially brassicas (like broccoli, cabbage) in particular - bitter, so they may be "picky" eaters who don't get good nutrition. Non-tasters (I seem to fit this category) crave sweet tastes more than regular or supertasters. Google "supertaster test oz" for more info.
Since science has established that genetic differences affect taste and smell perception, I have no problem (now that I know others share my experience) in believing that something in the way grain is processed into couscous makes it off-putting to what seems to be a minority of the population.
re: greygarious
I can't eat saccarine--it's bitter to me. I know friends who like it because it dissolves in iced tea better, but I can't handle it. Bitter, metallic.
Cilantro and white pepper seem to be the things that are offensive to the official supertaster groups, but those are 2 things I love. It could be my heritage--growing up with both! That said, cornstarch is ick to me. I try, but it is an irritant. As is Rose's Lime.
I've decided I'm not a supertaster because I don't fall into the categories explicitly of what is great or bad. Can I taste things? Yes. Including being able to discern what is in a recipe for the most part (95-8%) accuracy when I make it at home. So I'm happy with that. It's an ethereal feeling when I've made a duplicate of a taste I've had in the past. THAT makes me so happy, although I'm so giddy that my friends, family (and husband) simply have to accept it, as they have no idea what I'm so excited about.
I like the Near East parmesan couscous and haven't noticed an aftertaste either. Sometimes they have a bit too much sodium for me. We started buying plain couscous in bulk (well, not that much, loose would be a better term...) at Whole Foods. I just haven't looked for it elsewhere yet. I'm not sure where I found the recipe, but we bring two cups of College Inn low sodium chicken broth to a boil and stir in one cup of loose couscous. Take it off of the heat and let it sit covered for about 20 minutes. Yea, I know it's not quite instant but I'm usually making other stuff while it sits. Fluff it a bit and stir in the other flavors and spices of your choice. We found that a cup of grated or shredded parmesan cheese goes rather nicely. The other night we tried a little fresh dill in the mix and were pleased with the results.
I haven't tried it plain, so maybe the cheese or broth is masking the off taste.
A couple of thoughts:
1) are you using saran to cover the pyrex? After seeing some food show (can't remember which one), there was a suggestion to use a rectangular pyrex and cover it with saran in order to increase the flat surface area available.
Their method was cover for 5 minutes; remove cover and rake to fluff it up, re-cover and let it sit 5 more minutes. I tried this with pyrex and saran exactly once. I really didn't like something about the result, but it was so long ago I can't tell you what it was.
I have continued to use the let sit for 5, rake, let sit for 5 more method and think this does make for a better result.
The rest of what I normally do is boil water in a kettle, and then pour the water into a glass or ceramic container that has a glass or ceramic lid. I usually add sea salt and pepper to the water before pouring in the couscous. Here's the sort of thing I use:
I'm wondering if the use of saran imparts that off taste?
2) Bob's Red Mill Couscous tastes "sweeter" to me than many other brands. I thought it might be comparatively fresher or something about their durum wheat... Have you tried Bob's Red Mill?
re: souvenir
Ok. I am now totally confused. Just today I bought couscous at the coop in bulk. Thought I would save a little money for the summer couscous salad we made a lot last summer with whatever vegies looked good. Last summer and before I always bought the Near East brand. But today I thought, "Why not buy this in bulk and save" since we make it a lot. (They had both regular and whole wheat couscous in bulk.)
So do I need to cook this stuff differently? Or the same as the Near East stuff. I had that down to a science.
(I can ask at the coop and see if anyone knows, but the odds of the right person being there over the holiday weekend are remote.)
re: karykat
As an earlier poster said, almost all couscous sold here is the pre-cooked, dried, instant type (instant meaning you just let it steam after the water has been boiled.) Once upon a time, there was no instant couscous, and if you wanted to make it, you needed to buy a pot specially designed to steam couscous, broth, protein or vegetable in three separate layers. It took a long time and was worth it...That's how real couscous restaurants in Paris, for example, cook the dish, and why it's not considered fast food over there.
re: penthouse pup
Ok. I was getting different vibes from the posts. I will just assume what I have is instant.
re: karykat
You could try to find real couscous in Brooklyn or try the Organic Food Store ?
They may have normal couscous and whole wheat couscous...
I haven't noticed a bitter note in couscous, but I don't remember the last time I made it just plain, without broth or onion or garlic or some other flavor which could be masking this.
That said, one further suggestion- beyond springwater, you might try distilled water. In my opinion this produces superior results with soups and grains and with anything reconstituted; it might improve a simple "elemental" couscous significantly. Then again, if that bitterness really is in the pasta itself, the purity of this method might just accentuate the problem.
Second: never, ever use plastic wrap in the microwave. My doc warned me about plastic and microwaves many years ago, long before the brouhaha when the test results were leaked to the public a year or two back. And what's one of the the worst offenders of all? Why the wrap that's used more often in microwave ovens than any other plastic item.
An ironic headline attached, one from failblog.org that I may have posted before. I'd call it humorous, but that doesn't quite fit when one considers that the issue could be affecting millions.

Beautiful, silky hair with a stunning shine is the basis of any good hair day or hair style. However, most products that claim to nourish and add shine, actually weigh down hair causing it to be greasy and unmanageable. Thankfully, the beauty experts at Dove have once again found a solution to dull, dry hair with the Dove Pure Care Dry Oil collection.
After trying the Dove Pure Care Dry Oil collection, I really do feel a difference in my hair's silkiness and styling potential after only one wash. Once the weather starts getting colder, my hair begins to lose a lot of its moisture so I'm happy to have discovered Dove Pure Care Dry Oil just in time for the winter months. What I love most about this hair treatment system consisting of Dove Pure Care Dry Oil Shampoo, Dove Pure Care Dry Oil Conditioner and Dove Pure Care Dry Oil Nourishing Treatment is that it's ideal for all hair types. The dry oil features a blend of African Macadamia oil and Coconut oil that's proven to absorb quickly. You can expect 5x silkier hair when using this system of shampoo, conditioner and treatment vs. a non-conditioning shampoo.
Hair Trends I Love
An effortless hair style made better by Dove Pure Care Dry Oil is down and natural. Personally, I love to wear my hair down and wear it that way nearly 365 days a year. After one wash with the Dove Pure Care Dry Oil treatment system, you won't be able to stop running your fingers through your hair.
Another hair trend made even better by this collection is the subtle curl. While other treatments claiming to add moisture to your hair will weight it down causing naturally straight hair not to hold a curl, Dove Pure Care Dry Oil makes your curls silky and shiny.
Dove Silky Hair Dare
Remember when you played truth or dare at sleepovers? Now, Dove is inviting you to play again by taking part in the Dove Silky Hair Dare. Dove is daring you to try Dove Pure Care Dry Oil and fall in love with the touch and feel of your hair or your money back. Once you've tried the line of Dove Pure Care Dry Oil products for yourself, you can share your silky results using #silkyhairdare. Dove is also giving away $20,000 in prizes. For a chance to win, share your silky results using #silkyhairdaresweeps. See the official rules for more info.
*If you are not completely satisfied with the Dove Advanced Hair Series Pure Care Dry Oil system, Dove will refund your purchase (from 9/21 – 12/31). Visit hairmoneyback.com for details

John Moran , the Irish central bank's head of wholesale bank supervision, has been temporarily transferred to the Finance Ministry to advise on shrinking the balance sheets of debt-laden lenders.
When Jerry Otto started hunting for Alaskan oil in 1980, his tractor-trailers barreled along ice roads as much as 10 feet thick for 180 days every year.
Irish banks' reliance on central bank funding will be lower at the end of the year than it was at the start, according to John Moran, head of bank restructuring at the finance ministry.
United Technologies Corp. said the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating a sales representative from outside the company who worked on jet-engine sales in China.
Ireland's banks need to forgive some unsustainable housing debt, John Moran, the most senior official in the Finance Ministry said, as the nation's central bank pressured lenders to act as arrears spiral.
When Bill Clinton told American executives that they'd be "nuts" not to invest in Ireland, many were already ahead of the former president. U.S. companies were behind almost 40 percent of offices bought or leased in Dublin in 2011 and the trend is likely to accelerate this year.
Chaoda Modern Agriculture Holdings Ltd.'s Chairman Kwok Ho, Chief Financial Officer Andy Chan and Fidelity Management's George Stairs were accused of insider trading by Hong Kong's financial secretary.
United Technologies Corp. is in talks to buy aerospace equipment maker Goodrich Corp. as it looks to expand through a major acquisition, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
United Technologies Corp., which makes Sikorsky helicopters and Pratt & Whitney jet engines, offered concessions to European Union regulators in their review of its $16.5 billion bid for Goodrich Corp.
"Now is the time to get assets of size and scale on the market, while there is strong international demand."

I'm trying to get my Evolution MK-425c and TriggerFinger to install under WinXP 64bit. I've searched everywhere for an answer; at the bottom of this page (http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=...975ec36d084e44) you state that drivers are not needed.
I see the two "USB Audio"s in the Device Manager; I'm burnt out trying different ways to get this to to show up as a Midi device.
I'm using a Firewire 410 audio card with a standard midi keyboard hooked up and working, but nothing will see these two USB devices, even though the Properties page has the names and details listed as I would expect (from my 32-bit Windows list).
Works great in WinXP 32-bit, but I want to utilize the 8GB RAM I have.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg met with city residents at December's Mayor's Night Out.
The mayor used five minute, one-on-one discussions to give residents an opportunity to share their ideas and concerns.
The events encourage residents to speak directly with the mayor, common council members and other department heads.
The event at Lincoln Primary was open to all community members and it seems to be working.
"A lot of times the issue is very close to home for people," said Buttigieg. "Maybe there's something going on in their neighborhood or maybe a code issue they'd like me to know about or a concern about something happening on their street. The best of course is when we're able to solve the problem right there. One of the reasons I bring all of the representatives of all the different departments here is if there is a very specific concern or question we can try to resolve that the same night."
Department heads were also available to discuss information on future and current projects in the South Bend area.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Steven Bowditch held on to win the Texas Open in windy conditions Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory and a spot in the Masters.
The 30-year-old Australian bogeyed the par-5 18th for a 4-over 76 - the highest closing score by a winner since Vijay Singh finished with a 4-over 76 in the 2004 PGA Championship - for a one-stroke victory.
Bowditch finished at 8-under 280 at TPC San Antonio.
Will MacKenzie and Daniel Summerhays tied for second. MacKenzie shot 70, and Summerhays had a 71.
Chesson Hadley and Ryan Palmer missed chances to get into the Masters through the top 50 in the world ranking. Hadley, the Puerto Rico Open winner, needed at least a sixth-place finish, but closed with an 80 to tie for 56th at 5 over. Palmer needed a top-three finish and had an 82 to also tie for 56th.

A Reservation-Based Multicast (RBM) Routing Protocol for Mobile Networks: Initial Route Construction Phase (1995)

title = {A Reservation-Based Multicast (RBM) Routing Protocol for Mobile Networks: Initial Route Construction Phase},
year = {1995}
Years of Citing Articles
We propose a combined multicast routing and resource reservation protocol, termed Reservation-Based Multicast (RBM), that performs routing in a fashion similar to Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), but which is intended for mobile operation and routes hierarchically-encoded data streams based on user-specified fidelity requirements, real-time delivery thresholds and prevailing network bandwidth constraints. The protocol retains the fully distributed operation, scalability and receiver-initiated orientation of PIM; but, unlike PIM, the protocol is tightly coupled to an underlying, distributed, unicast routing protocol thereby facilitating operation in a dynamic topology. This paper focuses on the initial route construction phase, assumed to occur during a static "snapshot" of the dynamic topology, and is therefore applicable to fixed networks as well, e.g. the Internet. A forthcoming paper will detail the protocol's robustness and adaptivity to arbitrary topological changes during bot...

The Columbian's 2013 election articles and editorial endorsements are compiled at Election.
Turn in your ballot
To be counted, ballots must be postmarked on or before Tuesday. They also may be dropped off by 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Clark County Elections Office, 1408 Franklin St., or at a drive-up red ballot collection box one block east of the office.
There also are ballot drop-off locations at select schools and churches. For a list, go to Clark County Elections or read page 28 in the voters' pamphlet.
Any other questions? Call the county elections office at 360-397-2345 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com...
Election night
Results will be posted on The Columbian's website and Clark County Elections will start broadcasting at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday from Clark College's Gaiser Hall on Comcast Ch. 23 and live stream on CVTV.
Tuesday is the last chance for voters to have their say on city council races, school board positions, two statewide initiatives, several non-binding advisory votes, and who should help draft new rules for Clark County government.
Ballots for the 2013 general election must be postmarked on or before Tuesday or dropped in one of several designated locations throughout the county by 8 p.m. that night. Ballots that miss those deadlines will not be counted.
As of Monday morning, about 19 percent of registered voters in Clark County had returned their ballot, according to election officials. Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey is predicting a final turnout among registered voters at about 40 percent. Odd-year elections attract the fewest voters when compared with presidential or mid-term congressional elections.
On Monday, Kimsey shared some advice for last-minute voters. Instead of mailing their ballots today, the safest bet would be using the ballot drop-off locations.
"I would encourage people not to rely on the post office" if waiting to vote on Election Day, Kimsey said.
A list of ballot drop-off locations in Clark County is located on page 28 of this year's voters' pamphlet. Ballots also can be dropped off at the Clark County Elections Office, 1408 Franklin St., or at the drive-up red ballot collection box one block east of the office.
Clark County voters have a ballot that's larger than usual. There are six nonbinding advisory votes placed on the ballot by Clark County commissioners, hoping to gauge public opinion on where to place a new bridge over the Columbia River, light rail and bus rapid transit, and limiting the use and sale of fireworks. There also are nonbinding statewide advisory votes on taxation that state lawmakers have already approved.
Voters will decide two statewide initiatives. Initiative 522 would require the labeling of many food products that contain genetically engineered food. The other, Initiative 517, would make it easier to get a voter initiative on the ballot by giving petitioners more time to gather signatures, and it creates penalties for interfering with signature gatherers.
Vancouver's mayoral and city council races are being closely watched by the county's political junkies.
Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt has drawn challenger Bill Turlay, who was elected to the city council in 2011. Leavitt's opponents say the mayor is untrustworthy and flip-flopped his position on a toll bridge to Portland, while Turlay's opponents paint Turlay as a Tea Party candidate and ally of Republican County Commissioner David Madore.
Even though council races are nonpartisan, the Clark County GOP has endorsed a slate of Turlay, Councilor Jeanne Stewart, Micheline Doan and Frank Decker. County Democrats, after saying they wouldn't make endorsements before the August primary, gave thumbs-up to Leavitt, Alishia Topper and Anne McEnerny-Ogle. Stewart faces Topper, while Doan is challenging Councilor Jack Burkman and Decker's running against McEnerny-Ogle.
Additionally, voters can elect members to a new board of nonpartisan freeholders who will work to draft a charter for a new county government. That charter must be approved by voters in a future election. More than 100 people are running for one of 15 unpaid freeholder positions. The boundaries split the county into three districts, and voters get to choose the five freeholders from their district.
Given the lengthy ballot, Auditor Kimsey is predicting that many voters will leave parts of their ballots blank. However, the rest of their ballots will still be counted.
"It's an unusual ballot for people," Kimsey said, but "it's important to vote. You lose your power if you don't vote."
The first batch of preliminary election results will be announced by 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. In the days to follow, election officials will continue to count additional ballots that trickle in through the mail.

Sunday's playoff loss was exhilarating yet also, in the end, very heartbreaking.
But as we move forward into the offseason and toward 2013, our players, coaches and fans should be so proud of this season, this team and all that we accomplished. An 11-5 regular season record, a road win in the wild card round of the playoffs and a dramatic never-give-up comeback in the divisional round all add together to give the Seahawks and our fans something to be pleased with and excited about.
While the finish to Sunday's game was crushing, the comeback itself was a perfect microcosm of our club and season. Our players would not give in or relent, even when down 27-7 going into the fourth quarter. They maintained an unwavering belief all the way through the end. Only an incredible team could do what the Seahawks did on Sunday, in the playoffs and during this season — no matter how many times our guys got knocked down or fell behind, they would simply not surrender. Their resiliency bodes well for our future, and while we are bummed the 2012 season has ended, we are pumped about our prospects heading down the road.
So now we embark into the offseason, and our theme for the players and coaches is, "You're either competing or you're not." It's the only offseason we've got, so we've got to make the most of it. We've challenged the players to make it their best offseason of their careers. It's the task set before us as we prepare, train and move toward the next step as a football team.
But as we head out, our players, coaches and fans should walk tall and take pride in what we're building here. Something special is definitely happening with the Seahawks. Thank you for your support through the journey, and we hope you continue to come along for the ride as we charge toward 2013 and beyond.

Coach, What a great season. Thank you. I 3elieve the future holds great things for this team with you as coach. Seahawk fan all day everyday. Inhale, exhale, bleed blue and green. SEA HAWKS!!!
Comment by Brian — January 15, 2013 @ 5:50 pm
Thank you. I have been a Seahawk fan since birth (1976), and regardless of how they play – they'll always be my team. However, you have taken "my" team and they have become the greatest team to root for in all the NFL. They have matched the "12s" excitement, have become so fun – yet so tough, and I simply cannot wait to see what happens next! Go crazy in the draft and in the FA Market and let's go to the Big Dance!
Always competing,
Comment by Jeff Merlau — January 15, 2013 @ 6:21 pm
As a true and loyal fan of the Hawks since I was old enough to know what the game of football is, I have never been so proud of our team than I was this year. No matter how little people talked about us or how much they thought our team wasn't one to be reckoned with, we were a strong competitor in every game and only got better every week. All of the players should be very proud of themselves and realize how many fans they made a world of difference for. I have not and would never think of being a fan of a different team. The loss to the Falcons was heartbreaking but I could not have asked for a better season and a better game to go out on (other than a win), but none the less very proud to be a Seattle Seahawks fan!! Thank you Pete Carroll and all your players for a great year! See you guys in the Championship next year! GO HAWKS!!
Comment by Steve — January 15, 2013 @ 6:29 pm
Unbelievable season Coach! It was awesome watching the development of the offense and DangeRuss Wilson. The improvement of the offensive line under another year with Cable was a huge part of the teams success.
We're proud of what you guys accomplished, and are extremely excited about the future. With the base built, and these guys working together in the same system is gonna be huge for next season. The road to the Super Bowl goes through Seattle in 2014!
Looking forward to what you guys do next!

Germany and Italy raised more cash than any other EU member state from auctioning phase III EU carbon emissions allowances (EUAs) between November 2012 and February, according to reports published on Friday by the European Commission.
As host of the EU's transitional common auction platform, Germany-based EEX sold 137.9m phase III EUAs on behalf of 23 EU member states during the period, raising €760.7m in 35 auctions. Italy received the largest share at €139m (18% of the total), followed by Spain with €134m (17%).
Italy will use part of the revenues to compensate those new entrants in phase II of the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) that missed out on free EUAs after the dedicated reserve ran dry, according to a regulation passed this year (see EDCM 8 April 2013). EU rules state that member states must use at least half of the revenues from the auctioning for measures to fight climate change.
Separately, EEX also carries out auctions on behalf of Germany, which raised €249m from its phase III auctions during the period.
The UK, which has also opted out of the common auction platform, uses London-based ICE Futures Europe for its EUA sales, while Poland, the third EU member to opt out, said it will use EEX until it appoints its own auction platform.
The commission's report said it is unclear when Poland will join the EEX platform. It said: "Poland and EEX are currently preparing to hold such auctions on the transitional common auction platform; the start date remains to be determined."
Market analysts have previously said the fact that the Warsaw stock exchange has hosted an auction of Polish phase II EUAs might indicate that the platform is becoming the front-runner to host the country's phase III sales (see EDCM 13 March 2013).
Banks and investments firms
The commission's data also shows that most of the volume on auction via the common platform is bought by investment firms and credit institutions rather than operators.
Although the mix of successful buyers at the common-platform auctions has changed, the share of ETS operators consistently failed to rise above 40% in any single month during the November-February reporting period.
At the end of February, the number of eligible bidders stood at 45.
The auctions' weighted average clearing price during the reporting period was €5.52/tCO2e, less than carbon's average close of €5.98/tCO2e in the period, according to data collected by ICIS.
The EEX said that, for all but nine of the auctions, the clearing prices were "equal to or between" the best bid and offer prices on the secondary market and "in line with" those at "other trading venues" and auctions. Silvia Molteni

Global X launches Junior MLP ETF
Related fund data links
Global X Funds is to launch the Global X Junior MLP ETF (MLPJ) – the first exchange-traded fund to specifically target the small-cap segment of the master limited partnership market – on the NYSE Arca.
The fund will invests at least 80 per cent of its net assets in the securities of the underlying index – the Solactive Junior MLP Index – and will charge management fees of 0.75 per cent.
As the energy infrastructure in North America continues to expand, smaller capitalisation MLPs often control increasingly important energy assets and are active in the exploration, transportation and storage of domestic energy resources. Because many of these companies are not included in major MLP indices, in many cases they have not experienced the same price growth as their larger counterparts and may offer value at current levels.
According to a 2012 report from the International Energy Association, the US will become the world's largest oil producer by 2017 and a net exporter of natural gas by 2020. Junior MLPs are poised to benefit from the US energy renaissance, providing critical infrastructure for the exploration and production, transportation and storage of this increase in domestic energy and offering investors a means to access this growth.
Despite a difficult IPO market, four energy-related MLPs have made their IPO debuts in 2012 alone, as the smaller-cap segment of the industry continues to expand.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand--The New Zealand dollar was lower against its U.S. counterpart late Monday but pared some losses after second-quarter Chinese growth data met market forecasts.
The Kiwi opened weaker after negative euro-zone news from Friday when France was downgraded by Fitch and as Portugal deals with an ongoing political crisis
However, "it found a little strength in the Asian session after the Chinese data," said ANZ Bank Foreign Exchange Manager Murray Hindley. China's gross domestic product grew 7.5% on-year in the quarter, in line with a median forecast of 18 economists surveyed by Dow Jones.
"Some market participants had been bracing for a potentially worse result than the 7.5% growth rate, particularly given the negative rumblings over Chinese growth in recent times. To see the number come in on par with the Chinese Government's growth target offered mild comfort to risk assets today," said Tim Waterer, senior trader for CMC markets.
In late Wellington trading, the New Zealand dollar was at US$0.7819 compared with US$0.7863 late Friday. It touched a low of $0.7783 in the session. Against the Australia dollar, it was at A$0.8581, compared with A$0.8570 late Friday.
ANZ's Mr. Hindley said attention will now shift to second-quarter inflation data in New Zealand, due Tuesday. A Wall Street Journal poll of 13 economists forecasts second-quarter inflation at 0.3% on quarter and 0.8% on year. Investors will then look to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's semi-annual testimony to Congress later in the week for cues, he said.

Fabulous birthday cakes for $25 or under?
Searching for a bakery that sells good-to-great $25 birthday cakes that can feed 7. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately, your budget would yield you a tiny cake, I'm thinking 6", but that small size should give you enough servings if quite small.
If I were in your shoes, I would probably head down to Umanoff&Parsons (http://www.umanoffparsons.com ) and get one of their ready-made cakes. (Their custom birthday cakes are beyond your budget.) They mostly wholesale, including to Fairway and FreshDirect, but they have a retail store at their factory in Tribeca. Quality is good but not mind-blowing -- sorry, I don't know anywhere that will get you mind-blowing for under $25.
Your other alternative is a half sheetcake at Costco. It was named in the Saveur100 as a fantastic cake and a good bargain. Also, you can get an assortment of cupcakes from the various cupcake emporiums in the city (I like Buttercup). Good luck.
Billy's Bakery in chelsea makes a fantastic cake. Their two layer, 8 inch would feed 7 people comfertably. It's a little over your price point @ $28, but it's also a REALLY great cake w/ buttercream frosting that's perfect for birthday's.
sugar sweet sunshine is one of my favorite bakeries, and they have a 7 inch two layer cake for $22.
the almond buttercream frosting is delish! they're on rivington near essex.
re: beuk13
Hey! That might be a Umanoff&Parsons cake!
You could probably find something at Billy's, Amy's, or Little Pie Company that would fit within your budget and be delicious.
we just had a fantastic birthday cake from billy's. i highly recommend it. sugar sweet sunshine is also good, but i like billy's frosting much better.
I also just got a great cake from Billy's at Easter time. We got pink buttercream frosting on top with pastel polka dots. Very springlike- it was awesome!
I'll throw in Black Hound. Their cakes are around $26, I believe, though prices may have gone up one or two dollars. But very rich stuff, not really like a conventional spongy cake.
