The Voice Preview: Blind Audition Clips

Posted on March 30, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

In the first promo for NBC’s The Voice , we simply heard all about how this singing competition would be different from American Idol . Specifically: it will feature blind auditions. That’s right, judges Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green, and Adam Levine won’t actually see contestants that initially try out for the new series, which premieres on April 26. How will this gimmick work? The network gives us an idea below. In this trailer, we see the panel will utilize their chairs, their ears for talent and their big red buttons: The Voice Audition Clip

Weekday Vegetarian: Mashed Potato, Rutabega and Parsnip Casserole

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Weekday Vegetarian: Mashed Potato, Rutabega and Parsnip Casserole

Photo: Kelly Rossiter My husband is involved with an non-profit organization in Ontario that preserves historic buildings. Every year they have a silent auction as a fundraiser and one of the things people bid on is dinner for four at our house. Everything I serve is from Ontario, down to the wines, so I usually suggest to purchasers that dinner in the spring or early summer will provide a bit more choice in terms of produce. This year our guests chose to have dinner in December, so that meant root vegetables would be on the menu…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Paper-To-Pencil Machine Repurposes Printed Pages

Posted on September 20, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

And interesting idea for reusing wasted materials, upcycling rather than recycling. But, how many people still use pencils, especially those without erasers? So, is it a good idea, or a waste of energy? … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Pay & Sit Park Bench Is A Libertarian Dream

Posted on July 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

photos via popup city Whenever we write about investing in bike lanes or sharing the road, drive-by commenters invariably complain that they are paying road taxes and they will share the road when cyclists and pedestrians contribute. Let’s ignore the fact that cyclists and pedestrians subsidize drivers since road taxes only cover a small portion of the cost of maintaining our highways and roads, and suggest that in these tough times, everyone has to share the load. After all, any Tea Partier would tell you that nothing in the Constitution says that i… Read the full story on TreeHugger
