What to do with all this carrot puree?
I picked up a copy of "French Women Don't Get Fat" and as I happened to have an overabundance of carrots, tried out the recipe for "Quick and Easy Carrot Soup." Even bought a food mill for the purpose. Well, the thing is... it's vile.
Now I've got a couple of cups (maybe 3) of - well, it's not a nice, creamy puree of carrot. A sort of coarse-sand-of-carrot - just sitting there in the refrigerator being orange...
I tried adding ginger to a small bit of it, but that was nasty. Tried a bit of nutmeg - horrible. Texture-wise, tried adding half-and-half - it's just not anything like what I'd call soup.
What would you do with it? I'm not sure that milk of any type is what I really want if I'm trying not to get fat, but something is definitely needed. I've thought of boiling potatoes, adding the carrot, and using an immersion blender to try to get a smoother texture. What about seasoning?
I probably have a 2-day window before I give up and just compost it, which would be a shameful waste. All ideas welcome, including what I might have done wrong in the first place!
Try this:
Carrot Souffle
1 pound carrots
4 ounces butter
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
3 T. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt
Peel and slice carrots, or use one pound bag of baby
carrots. Cook in salted water until soft. Drain
well. Melt butter. In a food processor, put all
ingredients except the carrots. Blend well. Add
carrots and blend until the mix resembles a milkshake.
Do not completely puree the carrots. Bake in an 8X8
greased glass dish at 275 degrees for 45minutes, just
until the center is firm. Or, bake at 300 degrees in
a metal pan for 40 to 45 minutes till firm. You may
double the recipe and bake in a 9X13 dish, adding 5
minutes or so to the cooking time.
re: critter101
Thanks for the recipe - I will try this sometime! I am going to wait on the eggs, butter, and sugar so I won't use it with this particular already-pureed batch, though.
I had a look at the recipe you used. The problem could stem from the fact that it is not very specific about how thin to slice the carrots, or about the kind of texture they are aiming for.
What about cooking the carrot puree longer, in its original cooking liquid, adding water if necessary? Stir it so the carrot goo doesn't sit sullenly on the bottom of the pot and burn. Then cool slightly and puree with the fresh dill suggested in the recipe, or other herb such as coriander, plus a clove of raw garlic if you're a raw garlic sort of person. Maybe a teaspoon of lemon juice?
Good luck.
re: almond tree
Oh, thank you very much for looking at it. I was wondering whether I used the wrong disc on the food mill, or didn't cook the carrots enough. I love the phrase "sit sullenly on the bottom of the pot and burn" - hilarious! I am going to try this in the morning with the fresh dill - using the immersion blender for the pureeing - and I can always stir in garlic and/or lemon juice if that doesn't quite do it. I'll let you know how it turns out.
This http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-...: is great! And, you're halfway there with the puree....
'Coarse-sand-of-carrot' is begging you to be made into muffins or carrot cake. There's orange carrot cake, there's chocolate orange carrot cake, there's orange ginger carrot cake, etc. Masking the carrot taste with chocolate, orange, or ginger might work out pretty good for you.
I like to add some cooked and pureed carrots to my tomato soup... along with cooked and pureed onions, roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, revived sundried tomatoes, thyme, salt, pepper, bay leaf, smoked paprika, a little mustard powder and fresh basil to finish. the carrot/onion combo add a nice smooth sweetness to balance the acidic sweetness of the tomatoes...
re: almond tree
you can thin the puree out with stock or coconut milk to make it more soupy. i like ginger with carrot, but it seems you do not? cilantro works well here too, plus either some orange or lime juice.
don't be skimpy with salt either.
re: almond tree
not all that precise...
cut 2 1/2 lbs of tomatoes in half, put on a baking sheet lined with foil then parchment (just to protect my pans).
cut the top off of a head of garlic. add to baking sheet.
[[you can add onions/carrots here, but i prefer to cook them til really soft to get a better puree (often i'll nuke them in the microwave to soften them, then roast with the tomatoes to get a bit of browning -- softer purees better, roasting tastes bettter). i usually use 2-3 small onions (or 2 medium or large onions) and 3 - 5/6 carrots depending upon their size... if they're the tiny 6 or 7 inch ones with a 1/2" diameter, upwards of 6 or even 7. if humongous, like i get at the ethnic markets, 3 will suffice. generally i end up with 3 if not a little more cups of carrot/onion puree.]]
i spray the tops of the tomato and garlic with spray oil Just a little to adhere the seasoning.
sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. evenly sprinkle over a hefty dose (2-4 tsp?) dried thyme, and toss in 4-6 bay leaves. cover loosely with another piece of foil.
roast at 350-375 F for 10-15 minutes, remove foil and roast for another 10-15 minutes or til soft and the skins are really starting to peel. (if you add carrots/onions and pre-cook them, watch that the onion doesn't completely char over... if you add carrots/onions and don't pre-cook them, it will take more time in the oven to soften them.)
in the meantime, i soak some sundried tomato bits in veggie broth. maybe 2 tbsp or so finely chopped or 5-6 whole ones, in just enough broth to cover them.
if cooked separately and not roasting, i toss the cooked carrots and onions into my blender (NEW...YAY) otherwise i do it when they come out of the oven with the tomatoes.
pour those into a pot with more salt, pepper, thyme... toss in the bay leaves off of the baking tray as well.
i puree the tomatoes, the sundried tomatoes, and as much garlic as i feel like... maybe 4-6 cloves. add that to the carrots, onions, herbs mixture. add a little veggie broth (i use a very hearty tasting one.)
adjust seasoning of salt, pepper, probably add more thyme. i add in about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 - 1/2 tsp mustard powder. let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
COVER it once you start simmering!!! it spits. a lot.
add in some chopped (or torn into bits, as i do standing over the pot) fresh basil... i'm heavy handed with this.
adjust seasoning again, adding more thyme if you feel it necessary (i often do...) and let simmer for a bit longer, til it's at a place you like!
sometimes when i have leftovers, i'll stir in a little unsweetened almond milk when reheating -- for some reason i only do this with leftovers.
hope that helps.
re: Emme
Thank you for going to the trouble of writing this out in such detail. I actually liked that you weren't super precise with details - that's the way I cook & I feel that I captured the spirit of your soup, which I finally tried a couple of days ago. Delicious - satisfying but light, with an interesting, fun combination of flavors. The carrot puree definitely complemented that tomato & toned down the acidity. Reheated it this evening mixed with some leftover oven roasted vegetables & cooked chickpeas - yummy.
Thanks again.
re: almond tree
glad you enjoyed it! there's no right way, or way it's "supposed to taste," just what pleases you :)
i look at it as a basic recipe... or technique open to recipe-ing. i have some tomatoes that i need to use up... thinking soup tomorrow night!
Now we know why French women don't get fat ; )
You should be able to salvage this. Lots of good ideas here.
I have a carrot-ginger-orange soup recipe that I think produces a lovely soup, but since you don't like the ginger-carrot combo, I'd suggest you try it without adding ginger. I'd cook it some more, as others have suggested, with some chicken or vegetable stock, and then add some orange juice and take the IB to it. My recipe has you sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top, but you could sub parsley or chives, even thyme. I'd swirl in some yogurt, creme fraiche, or sour cream. (Or coconut milk, as hotoynoodle suggested; that sounds delicious.)
re: nomadchowwoman
Carrot tahini.....spice to your liking .I add yogurt ,cumin,coriander,zatar but it depends on how I want it to taste or what I find in the fridge or cub bard .
re: HillJ
Thanks again to everyone! As HillJ & others suggested, a finer puree did help. Lots of fresh dill perked it up - the lemon juice didn't do what I had hoped . We now indeed know why French women don't get fat if this is how they're making carrot soup...
I actually do like carrot-ginger soups but I think cooking the ginger with the carrot would be my preferred method on that. I think the orange juice you suggested, nomadchowwoman, could have done what the lemon juice didn't. I may try that sometime along with hotoynoodle's coconut milk.
Add a bit to homemade tomato sauce - it adds a hint of sweetness. Or use eggs to make it into patties and fry them (carrot latkes?)
You've got some great ideas on what to do with your puree. Word of caution on the book...I gained five pounds after reading it. LOL!
I've come to the conclusion that French women don't get fat (Parisians in particular), not so much because of their eating habits, but because they walk *everywhere*. We spent two weeks in Paris and I ate more sausage, cheese, and bread that I had life to date and gained very little. My feet, however, paid the price.
Bon Chance!!

Pop star Seal and supermodel Heidi Klum were never shy about discussing their relationship while they were married, and it seems they won't be shy in their post-marriage life either.
Less than 24 hours after confirming the rumors that their nearly seven-year marriage was over, Seal is speaking out, following through on two interviews to promote his new "Soul 2″ album in which the topic of the couple's separation was very much on the table.
"I think we were shocked," Seal says in an appearance today on the "Ellen Degeneres Show." "You go into these things with the greatest intentions when you say, 'I do' and …'till death do us part.' Those vows hold value. They are not just words."
The Hollywood power couple, and the parents of three kids together, confirmed their separation in a statement released to People magazine Monday.
"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate," the couple said in the statement.
Seal explained the split to Degeneres, saying, "You just grow apart after awhile" but said media and fans should not expect a nasty Hollywood divorce.
"She is still, in my opinion, the most wonderful woman in the world," he said. "I think our priority was to remain civil and do this thing with dignity. We still very much love each other."
Seal reiterated those same comments to PBS host Tavis Smiley in a taped interview scheduled to air this Friday, Jan. 27.
"What one has to do in this situation is to remain civil, to retain one's dignity, to be professional and to understand that we are not the only people on this planet that are going through this," the singer told Smiley.
That civility could come in handy if the couple moves forward with divorce.
Together, the glamorous duo would have a near fortune to divide. Klum, 38, is said to have earned $20 million last year alone as host of "Project Runway" and appearances in various ad campaigns, while Seal, 48, has his new album and four Grammy awards to his name
The two began dating in 2003 while Klum was pregnant with her first child, Helene – nicknamed Leni — with Italian racecar team manager Flavio Briatore.
In December 2004, Seal proposed to Klum in a specially built igloo atop a glacier in Whistler, B.C., with a 10-carat plus, yellow diamond ring.
They said "I do" on the beach in Costa Careyes, Mexico, in May 2005, and have famously, and very publicly, renewed their vows in lavish ceremonies each year since.
The couple has two sons, Henry, 6, and Johan, 5, and one daughter Lou, 2. Seal officially adopted Leni, now 7 1/2, in 2009.
Those children, and the couple's history together, appear to be two of the reasons Seal still wears his wedding ring, even after the separation.
"Just because we have decided to separate doesn't necessarily mean you take off your ring and you're no longer connected to that person," he told Ellen. "We will be connected in many ways till the rest of our lives. … Will we wear the ring for the rest of our lives? Who knows? But right now it feels really comfortable on my hand, so I have no intentions of taking it off anytime soon."
What Seal did not reveal in the interviews is why, exactly, the seemingly happy couple split, something that is confounding close friends and fans alike, and setting the Internet abuzz with rumors.
"It's unclear what went wrong in their marriage, but according to friends it had to be something major," Carlos Greer, a reporter for People magazine, told ABC News. "Heidi and Seal's friends are extremely shocked."

An amazing life story. Told in a way that kept me enthralled from beginning to end. Loved it! 5 stars all the way!
"Not really different, not really proof"
Someone looking for a reason to believe in something illogical.
Yes, I loved his description of his medical condition, and how the infection ravaged his body and brain. That part was great!
Description of his brain infection
I can't believe in God. I'd love to ... and did most of my life. I would LOVE to have anyone show me proof. This book proclaims, "PROOF OF HEAVEN!" ... So, I tried it. But, sorry to say, as in so many other books, there is no proof here. People who want to believe, will believe. I want to, but not badly enough to ignore logic. I believe there is a mystery, something we do not, and perhaps can not understand. A great secret of death. As I grow older, and closer myself, I seek to find something I can believe. Some proof that human consciousness transcends physical death. Something that proves that we are more than the chemicals that make up our physicality. However, I can not believe in a fairy tale. I'm afraid this book is just another hopeful story about heaven.
"SCORE: 100 dead terrorists, 500 lame jokes"
Too much wise-cracking and NOT enough action … A disappointment! I have enjoyed the books preceding this one. Easily, ⅓ of this book could have been shaved off. I am not pleased with the result. Of course, Scott Brick is always an excellent reader. Not his fault. Hey, maybe you people like this characters CONSTANT stupid jokes. Not me. SCORE: 100 dead terrorists, 500 lame wise crack jokes.
"A strange story, and possibly some validity to it."
An odd mingling of low brow comedy, frightening prophesy and condemnation of the American system, (probably well deserved) I don't think any of us can foretell the future, and whatever really happens will be a big surprise to us all. However, it's fun to read this authors vision. The narrator is really a "kick".
I loved this book! I'm a big fan of "LONESOME DOVE" and I enjoyed this one just as much. This book is very different, but still, a western. A GOOD western is a rare thing! This is a good one.
The narrator is so good I have been searching for other books he's done. He is a new find too!
5 stars for the book and the narrator.
"Hated this book, Loved "The Book Thief""
WARNING: Zusak's other book, "The Book Thief" is one of the finest books I've ever listened to. So I figured, "This is also by him, it must be pretty good!". NO! ... It isn't at all good. A big "who cares?" story about a dumb 19 year old kid who delivers important "messages about life" ... It's fatuous. Some might like it ... But it does not hold a candle to "BOOK THIEF" ... Not even close.
I am a big fan of The Mitch Rapp stories by Vince Flynn. However, this one is appalling disappointment. The chopping of the story makes very little sense. the narrator refers to things that were never included in the first part of this abridgment. Don't waste your credit!
Really ... Awful!
Plus, the narrator is NOT Carrington MacDuffie! He did narrate the first 30 minutes of the book, (and the preview) but then an unknown woman took over. (I had to stop listening after about 3 hours) She is not bad, ... okay, but it's not as advertised.
No matter who narrates, the story is full of teeth clenchingly annoying characters who could never exist in any possible human reality. This book is asinine to the max degree. Garbage!
ps: I have actually enjoyed a few other works by Coben in the past
"My highest recommendation!"
The author is a "word artist", who at times can describe situations so vividly, that you can really feel you are there. The words used to illustrate the water funnels were so powerful that my blood ran cold. Also, the narrator is wonderful, and helped this book be all that it could be as a spoken piece.
I LOVED this book! It reminded me a little bit about myself as a kid. (OH, my POOR parents!) I am afraid to think what I might have done if I'd been living and young in this day of guns and crack. I think this book did a terrific job of expressing the anger of the kid, and the hopeless loving ineptitude of the parents. Very well written, and very well read. I was absorbed from the biginning, and hated to see it end!

of HIV risk; (2) acknowledging risk behaviors; (3) confidentiality protections; (4) presenting counseling and testing as "routine" rather than optional; and (5) the provider's belief that counseling and testing will benefit the client. Factors associated with low acceptance rates included prior HIV testing, fears about coping with results, and explicit informed consent.
While the benefits of testing appear clear and relevant to the current situation where effective treatment is available, serious cautions must be acknowledged. According to Quinn (1998), testing could have a paradoxical effect on public health. For example, tremendous fear about AIDS, its existence within stigmatized groups, and the perception that AIDS was a death sentence contributed to discrimination against those with AIDS or even those perceived to be at risk for HIV infection. Being tested per se was viewed as a sign that one was at risk. Additionally, among ethnic and racial minority populations, there were concerns that the benefits of early detection might have resulted in further stigma and discrimination (see below), outweighing the benefits of treatment. Thus, recommendations for broader testing might serve to drive those at highest risk underground.
When HIV testing programs were first instituted, HIV-positive individuals were subject to discrimination, and in some cases, even those known to have been tested for HIV were assumed to be at high risk. Presently, most HIV testing is voluntary and intended to benefit the person being tested, yet there is mandatory testing in certain situations such as the armed forces and prisons. Both the Congress and state legislatures continue to consider legislation mandating HIV testing for other defined populations. Considering these events, the affected communities have lingering concerns about HIV testing. This history explains why HIV testing was, and still is, thought by many to differ from other clinical testing and public health screening programs, part of a phenomenon often labeled "AIDS exceptionalism" (Bayer, 1991).
As this report was being prepared in 1998, an increasing number of states are requiring positive HIV test results to be reported to state health departments with names or other personal identifiers (Gostin et al., in press). The purpose of most of these requirements is to improve surveillance, as people with HIV infection are living longer and AIDS cases per se have become increasingly less informative about the HIV epidemic (Gostin et al., 1997). Legislation enacted in New York in June 1998, however, includes a provision that would require that HIV-positive individuals be asked about their sexual partners so that health department officials could trace contacts. AIDS activists have expressed concern about the potential loss of privacy that would come from linking surveillance and contact tracing activities, and suggested that these provisions would discourage people from being tested and seeking treatment (Perez-Pena, 1998).
Meeting in January 1998, AIDS activists, public health officials, and others considered the important changes that had occurred in recent years in terms of new diagnostic tests, improved treatment opportunities, and progress in behavioral

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Homing in on homelessness
City forging 10-year plan to eliminate chronic problem
More than 300 North American cities have pledged to end homelessness in 10 years. Winnipeg will soon do the same.
The Winnipeg Poverty Reduction Council is launching a high-level task force that will create the city's first 10-year plan to eliminate homelessness. That plan could include the first real count of Winnipeg's chronic couch-surfers and street-sleepers, a cap on shelter stays and a way to better co-ordinate the dozens of non-profits and government agencies who help the homeless. It will also include hard targets.
"It's not right that a city celebrated for its philanthropy, diversity and sense of community would accept homelessness as an inevitable outcome for some of its people," said Ian Gerbrandt, the managing director of the Winnipeg Poverty Reduction Council.
The idea is to shift agencies away from managing homelessness with a hodgepodge of emergency soup kitchens and shelters and toward ending homelessness through affordable housing bolstered by mental health care, job training, addictions counselling and any other services needed to keep people stable.
The committee's work is in its infancy. The poverty reduction council and the task force's co-chairs -- SEED Winnipeg's Cindy Cocker and Rob Johnston, the Royal Bank's regional president for Manitoba, Saskatchewan and northwestern Ontario -- are still recruiting the right mix of about a dozen members, though all three levels of government are committed to sending senior staff to serve on the task force. Consultations with inner-city agencies and experts will begin in earnest in the fall, and it will likely take a year to draft a plan.
Winnipeg Free Press editor Margo Goodhand served on the poverty reduction council until last week.
Roughly a dozen Canadian cities already have 10-year plans to end homelessness, and most have a good handle on how many people are living on the street or in shelters, couch-surfing or doubling up with another family to make rent. Winnipeg doesn't even have a count, though estimates say at least 2,500 people are couch-surfing, living in single-room occupancy hotels or staying at shelters such as the Siloam Mission.
Anecdotal evidence suggests the problem is getting worse. Shelter stays increased nearly 15 per cent from 2008 to 2011, according to staff at the Social Planning Council of Winnipeg who crunched the numbers.
Siloam Mission executive director Floyd Perras said he is turning away more people every night and is seeing a steady increase in the number of meals served.
It may be almost impossible to solve homelessness in a decade without tackling one of the city's other huge problems -- the complete paucity of decent affordable units, ones that someone on social assistance or disability can afford or might offer a single working mother a bedroom instead of a couch. The vacancy rate for affordable units is almost zero and has been for years. Rents have increased exponentially, while the province's welfare housing allotment has stagnated.
And, as Perras points out, there will always be homeless people as long as there is undiagnosed mental illness, addiction, family violence and personal catastrophes.
One of the ideas that may emerge in a 10-year plan is to limit the length of time someone can stay in a shelter before a network of help is mobilized to move the person into more stable and permanent housing. A 21-day cap is one idea being tossed around.
Calgary is aiming for one-week stays at shelters before homeless people get help finding something better, and Ottawa is aiming for 30 days.
Alberta cities, including Calgary, Edmonton and boomtown Fort McMurray, have had real success in reducing homelessness, in part by using the "housing first" model, where people are moved into stable homes as quickly as possible and then loaded up with support services. That's different from traditional rules that force someone to get their addictions or mental health issues under control before they qualify for social or subsidized housing.
In other cities with good plans, the focus tends to be on youth and aboriginal people as particularly vulnerable to homelessness, especially when they grow too old for foster care or are released from jail. And, many other plans include far more co-ordination between the many agencies that deal with the poor, often in isolation.
The problem is, bold plans tend to fizzle, and there's already a strategy to combat homelessness. Several, in fact.
The province is in the midst of an affordable housing plan called Homeworks and just started a four-year poverty reduction plan. Both have a series of priorities but neither have any hard targets -- something governments tend to eschew to avoid criticism when the targets aren't met.
City hall is in the midst of drafting its own housing plan. CEOs are sleeping out to raise awareness about homelessness again this fall, and Winnipeg is a key national research centre in the innovative At Home/Chez Soi project that has already found housing for roughly 200 homeless Winnipeggers.
Cash for that project, which is meant to test the long-term success of a "housing first" model, runs out in March, raising the question of long-term funding.
Organizers say two things make this plan different. First, the task force will seek buy-in from all sectors, including business leaders and homeless people themselves. Second, the plans focus on practical implementation, including public-private partnerships.
"The idea here is we're not making a new plan. What we're trying to do is get these plans co-ordinated," said Coker. "It will cost money, but it will save so much money in the long run."
The homeless continuum
In a report released last year, the Social Planning Council of Winnipeg tried to put some figures on Winnipeg's elusive and entrenched homelessness problem. No one's ever really done a solid count. The Social Planning Council gleaned figures from census data, a new shelter database and other reports, such as one on residential hotels done by the University of Winnipeg's Institute of Urban Studies a few years ago.
An unknown number of Winnipeggers sleep outdoors, in cars, squatting in abandoned buildings or sleeping in the airport or train station.
People staying in shelters, including 350 people on any given night, and 60-plus women staying in shelters to escape domestic violence.
Insecurely housed
There are between 700 and 1,000 people living in single-room occupancy hotels such as the McLaren. Another 1,400 people are crashing with friends or family because they have no where else to go. They are also called the "hidden homeless."
Inadequately housed
There are 28,000 people living in what's called "core housing need," which means their home is either too small for their family, way beyond what they can afford or in need of major repairs.

Joe Buhlig's OmniFocus Setup And Workflow
Another interesting inside into an OmniFocus setup, this time from Joe Buhlig. While most aspects of his setup follow the usual OmniFocus and GTD® best practices, he has two Contexts that made me look
- @Distractions — My favorite! Anytime something comes to me that I would like to explore, (like a new app or website), I collect it here. The idea is to come back to this list when I have free-time. Since free-time eludes me frequently, I tend to look through this list when I have 5 minutes to spare in between meetings. A lot of the items on this list don't really have an "end," so it's easy to lose an hour here if I'm not careful. Filling in gaps when I have a tight timeframe works really well.
- @Expectations — Here's one that's a bit different and I'm still working on. It's not really a list of actions. It's a list of what people expect from me. I want to make sure I meet or exceed expectations as much as possible so I track them. I haven't found a great way to incorporate these yet, but I'm getting close to something that works.
Check out the entire post as there is sure more inspiration inside.

Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
Revolution Canada was a great show, much stronger than the USA show. It's definitely a show that I can see some people rating every match ***+
Claudio vs O'Reilly was a great opener. Started off slow but eventually it turned into a great opener with some awesome near falls for O'Reilly.
Corino vs Bennett was AWESOME. So much far and away the best Bennett match so far and largely due to him not having a lengthy control segment which kills everyone. Corino was godly awesome. When I saw the first TV tapings of this year with Corino turning face and working with the new guys like Ridge and Redwood I really lost interest in Corino but I couldn't have been more wrong. He's the best promo guy they have and jesus the guy can work a match without having to do loads of flashy stuff. Corino/Otani is now my dream team. Corino's shtick working the crowd is incredible and the ringbell spot was great. I so hope that Corino gets to hit that suicide dive at some point. In the feud ender vs Steen would be perfection. Bennett actually looked pretty good but the match was awesome because of Corino. Bennett didn't bring the match down though and the dropkick to block Corino's dive was sweet.
Need to rewatch the 6 man because I wasn't paying full attention to it but it looked a heap of fun. Loads of high spots and the crowd were going crazy for it all.
Richards/King was alright but far far from being a great match. These two have odd chemistry, sometimes they have good chemistry and then sometimes it's really quite bad. This was a bad case sadly. The botch did look bad. King really didn't look ready to be a top singles guy either. Maybe it was just the poor chemistry though. Davey throwing a hissy fit and storming out after the pin was pretty shitty of him.
Bravado's promo was the greatest thing ever. Jesus this promo was incredible. Lancealot Bravado may be the best name for a heel ever. Dudes are genuinly great mic workers too and not just in reading a script well, they work the crowd really fucking well too. If these guys can work their butts off to improve in the ring then they'll be mega superstars. They got mega heat too. "He hasn't even started talking yet, don't talk to Adam Cole like that". So many great lines in there. Ended on a downer though when Cole & O'Reilly started brawling with them and it turned into MOVEZ. Harlem got in a "If I can be serious for a minute" too.
Cabana/Delirious was a fine tribute match.
Daniels/Generico was a good match. Nothing memorable though I didn't think.
Briscoes/WGTT was the worst match on the card I thought. It was just totally irrelevant until the low blow spot and then it picked up a little. As in it picked up from a bad match to an ok one. Benjamin and Haas are just so ordinary it's abysmal at this point. Finish yet again was weak. Not sure how anyone is supposed to be excited to see a Briscoes/WGTT match in the future after they had an iPPV main event which was only decent and then this match was below par and felt so unimportant.
Talked about the main event in the MOTYC thread. No point in repeating myself. It was great.

A seat on Charlottesville city council is in high demand.
"It is a lot of work. To do a good job, you have to be prepared," said councilor David Brown, who is stepping down at the end of his term next year.
Brown's seat is one of three up for grabs in a crowded contest that, so far, has attracted eight candidates who could have big jobs ahead of them.
"A lot of stuff comes our way, a lot of issues, and it's very important to do the background information," Brown said.
As of May 29, the Democratic candidates include:
* Kathy Galvin, a member of the Charlottesville School Board
* James Halfaday, an activist who sits on a handful of city boards
* Satyendra Huja, current city councilor who is running for re-election
* Peter McIntosh, a retired attorney
Running on an independent ticket are:
* Scott Bandy, a Cherry Avenue resident
* Brandon Collins, secretary of the Socialist Party of Central Virginia
* Bob Fenwick, a community activist
* Andrew Williams, an insurance claims adjuster
All the candidates need to be ready, should they claim one of the three council seats, for issues that may not have been brought up yet.
"A lot of the issues that come up you can't really anticipate ahead of time they're going to be," Brown said.
When it comes to political party, Brown said it's both important and unimportant. While party affiliation can provide insight into why candidates may think the way they do, many issues in local government aren't always Republican or Democratic.
"A lot of these issues cross political labels," Brown said, citing the Meadow Creek Parkway and the 50-year water supply plan as examples.
In Brown's eyes, Charlottesville needs a visionary, someone quick on his or her feet.
"We're looking for someone who, when new issues come along, you're just going to have trust in them being the leadership of the city," Brown said.
The Democratic primary is scheduled for Aug. 20. Councilors Brown and Holly Edwards have announced they will not seek a re-election. The terms for Mayor Dave Norris and councilor Kristin Szakos expire in 2014.

She remembered the streak of 90-degree plus days from that tragic autumn 20 years ago. Two years later it was a string of 100-degree days. A decade after that, summer lingered through every November. The sun was always on her mind.
Crystal had coasted down the trail to save gas but would have to use the engine to climb off the lake bed. She scanned the horizon of Berryessa Dry Lake with her binoculars. The spillway tower was now called the Chimney of Hell. She saw remnants of Putah Creek Bridge and imagined a miniature version in an aquarium, with goldfish swimming through the arches. Just a fantasy. Only the rich can fill a fish tank with water.
This should have been an exciting day; she found a shin bone at the edge of a pool of mud. But she felt nothing. The heat had long ago shriveled her soul, stealing both despair and joy. She could take the bone to the coroner's office and demand a DNA test. But she just dropped it back on the lake bed floor. Not like it would prove her innocence. And, as things had gone downhill, the coroner already had more bodies and bones than he could handle.
Crystal had been a suspect in her family's disappearance.
Yes, she had a story to tell them. The district attorney dismissed it as the outrageous lie of a teenage girl with "issues."
That evening on the boat, she had looked down into the churning, roiling water. A shimmering yellow globe the size of a basketball rose from the depths. It broke the surface then hung in the air, a dozen feet above the water. It began to twirl furiously, emitting rays in all colors of the rainbow. It was so beautiful. She had to get closer. Crystal started to climb over the railing but the spinning stopped. The orb's grip on her mind was released. She stepped back into the boat.
Still, her eyes stayed fixed on the yellow sphere as it soared into the sky and disappeared into a dark cloud. The cloud turned gray then white and the orb emerged as the harsh sun. Crystal turned her eyes away. The whole night had passed; it was morning. She collapsed on a deck chair and that is where they found her.
She long wondered if her family, hypnotized by the orb, climbed over the railing and dropped into the lake. Or were they sucked into that ball of fire? Why did it leave her behind?
Crystal knew one thing for sure: The little sun took her family; the big sun is taking everyone else.

Bad, bad coal, no gas pipelines, hope for hydro power from Canada with a huge bill to pay for the transmission capacity, but by G_d, we are building good green windmills. Bad decisions based on a lie and stupidity.

How did such a small percentage of people who despise progress, people, freedom, religion and themselves with such passion become so influential in NE and iWashington DC? These freaks of nature are determined to erase all of the incredible, life bettering and life extending progress our society has made over the past 150 years in order to somehow protect "nature". Sustainable energy will not sustain our way of living, which is surely why such "green" policies are being forced on us by people who would prefer that we be red and dead.

California can purchase out of state electricity. It seems New England cannot, due to green opposition to new power lines from Canada.Wanting something, but being unwilling to pay the price, is juvenile (or narcissist). Such a denial of reality, is a type of insanity. I have actually seen a liberal friend put his hands over his ears and yell, when faced with undeniable logic.

The citizens of New England have become accustomed to electric power being easily available. When you don´t make your own and can´t import someone else´s, you simply don´t have enough any more.That is an extremely simple equation.Regions will go dark this winter. There will be Congressional investigations, but the power will remain off. Dims will have a field day blaming speculators, but New Englanders will not find out about it, as there will be no television, no radio, and no newspapers.Whee!It is called reaping what you sow.

For the bird watcher and nature lover, there are plenty of wide open spaces to indulge your need for the simpler things in life. All manner of wild game are visible at all times of the year. Just find a pair of comfortable shoes and venture out. Grizzly and black bear live in the area so bring a friend and your pepper spray and make some noise as you walk so you don't get too close. You'll find the tree and ground squirrels along with chipmunks and a wide variety of birds will hold your interest for hours as you open your mind to the beauty of nature.
The weather can be cool at night, so don't forget to bring a jacket or sweater even in the summer months. In winter, the snow level can be 5 feet or even more on a good year, so tubing, sledding, snowshoeing opportunities abound. The six hundred miles of groomed trails will keep you snowmobiling for days without ever passing the same place twice. For the more adventurous, go for the steep and deep in the mountainous back country....just check with local authorities for avalanche conditions and always bring your friends. There's safety in numbers in the back country, not to mention the possibility of a tow if you should have a breakdown. Snowmobile rentals are available at the local dealers as well as accessories if you should find you forgot or just need to update equipment.
For the lover of food, Island Park has several restaurants and bar/grills to stop for a lunch break between your varied activities. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner you'll find a variety of satisfying fare.
Sight-seeing opportunities are everywhere both inside and outside Yellowstone and Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Upper and Lower Mesa Falls are favorites of those who love to view and photograph the beauty of a natural falls. Coffeepot Rapids is a must see on the Henry Fork. The name alone should spark your interest.
Box Canyon is a gem that once seen, you'll never forget. Guided fishing excursions are plentiful and the breath-taking beauty of the rock canyon walls of 'The Box' are an experience not to be missed.
Across the border in nearby Montana, is a lake like no other. Earthquake Lake was formed when rock from the face of a mountain slid down and blocked the flow of the Madison River near midnight on August 17th 1959, just downstream from Hebgen Lake. A short hour drive over Reynolds pass, this is another must see for those who have the time and yearning to venture out.
