Head Coach Courtney Kline
Office Phone: 304-829-7165
E-Mail: email@example.com
Having just completed her seventh season as the coach of the volleyball program, Courtney Kline has turned the Bison into a PAC and ECAC powerhouse following the team's fourth-straight ECAC championship.
In 2013 Coach Kline was tasked with replacing a senior class which had amassed over 100 wins in a four year span, and she was up to the challenge. Using a team with just six upperclassmen (three sophomores and three juniors) as well as 12 freshmen, Kline led Bethany to its third-consecutive 30-win season. The Bison also became the first team in PAC history to record 17 wins in conference play.
Posting a 30-10 record, and a 17-1 mark in PAC play, the Bison earned the right to host the Presidents' Athletic Conference Championship Tournament, where they earned the overall number one seed. The Bison defeated #4 Westminster, 3-2, in the semi-final match, advancing to the PAC title game for the second time in three years. The team then fell in a hard fought five-set match (3-2) to Thomas More in the championship game.
Following the PAC tournament, the Bison were tabbed as hosts for the ECAC Division III South-West Regional Tournament for the second-consecutive year. Bethany captured the ECAC crown by sweeping matches against McDaniel College and Marymount University.
For their efforts during the 2013 campaign, five different Bison were named All-PAC selections, including First-Team All-PAC honorees Mackenzie Lauber and Dylana McKenzie. McKenzie was also given the nod as the Presidents' Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year. Other Bison earning all-conference distinction included second teamers Breana Harris and Julia Mouch, and honorable mention selection Dakota McKenzie. Mouch also earned Capital One First-Team Academic All-District III honors.
Prior to 2013, Kline helped the Bison post back-to-back 31-win seasons. Bethany posted its best record (31-6) in school history in 2011, following that with a 31-8 mark in 2012. In both seasons, the Bison finished their run with an ECAC championship, defeating Saint Vincent (3-1) in 2011 and Moravian (3-0) in 2012.
After winning eight and five games during Kline's first two seasons, Bethany began to turn the corner. In 2009, Kline was named the PAC Coach of the Year after guiding the program to a 16-15 record and their first appearance in the PAC Tournament since 2004. Only four programs in all of Division III had a bigger one-year turnaround than Bethany, who improved from five wins in 2008 to the 16 in '09. The team then improved again to 24 wins in 2010, and then three straight 30-win seasons starting in 2011.
Through her first seven seasons, Kline has coached four Academic All-American selections, seven Academic All-District honorees and 23 All-PAC selections, including eight first-teamers, six second-team honorees and nine honorable mention selections. She has also coached two PAC Freshman of the Year selections (Jessica Zavatchen - 2009; Dylana McKenzie - 2013). Kline has also had 45 players earned Academic All-PAC honors.
Kline, who is CAP Level II certified, came to Bethany after a highly successful two-year stint as the head coach at Penn State-Fayette in Uniontown, Pa. In those two seasons, the Lions captured back-to-back PSUAC championships, the first in the school's history, and Kline was named the Coach of the Year following both seasons. In 2006, PSU-Fayette completed the regular season with a 24-7 overall record, including an 18-1 mark in conference play, before claiming victories over Mont Alto and two over Penn College to repeat as PSUAC champions. In addition to the conference title, the Lions earned the #1 ranking in the USCAA (United States Collegiate Athletic Association) polls in their initial season with the new conference.
Due to her success at Penn State Fayette, Kline was also named the 2007 College Women's Coach of the Year by the Tri-County (Fayette, Greene, Washington) Athletic Directors Association.
A four-year member of the volleyball team at Cedarville (Ohio) University, Kline helped her team to the NAIA American Mideast Conference tournament all four years and was a 2002 NSCAA All-Midwest Region team selection. She still currently ranks in the top 10 at the school in service aces, games played and digs.
Kline, who graduated from Cedarville in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Physical Education (sports management concentration) and later earned a Master of Science degree in Sport Management from California (Pa.) University in 2006, also teaches in Bethany's Physical Education-Sports Studies program.
Assistant Coach Jaycee Cole
Office Phone: 304-829-7154
E-Mail: email@example.com
Jaycee Cole enters her first season with the Bethany College volleyball staff during the 2014-15 academic year. During her time with the Bison, Cole will assist in all day-to-day operations including individual workouts, scouting, recruiting and video review. She will also primarily be in charge of defensive responsibilities.
Cole comes to Bethany after a four-year playing career with Alma College in Alma, Michigan. A four-year letterwinner, Cole served primarily as a defensive specialist and libero, appearing in 74 matches during her career. During her tenure with the Scots, the team accumulated a 66-48 record. She posted a career-high 279 digs in 2013 while serving as a team captain.
While at Alma, Cole also served as an AAU volleyball coach for 16 and under teams, and also ran individual lessons as well as serving as a summer camp coach. Cole graduated from Alma in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in Integrated Physiology and Health Science.
A native of Alma, Michigan, Cole will be enrolled in Bethany's Master of Arts in Teaching program in 2014.
Assistant Coach Will Kline
Will Kline is in his fifth season as an assistant with the Bison volleyball program.
In 2012, Kline was recognized by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) as a 2013 "30 Under 30" award recipient, an award created to recognize up-and-coming volleyball coaches 30 years old or younger at all levels of volleyball.
In his five seasons on the BC bench, the program has compiled a 132-52 record, reached the PAC Tournament Championship game twice and won four-consecutive ECAC South Region Tournament titles.
Also the husband of Bethany head coach Courtney Kline, Will has earned a USA Volleyball Impact Volleyball coaching certification and is also CAP Level I certified. His main responsibilities include working with the development of the outside and middle blockers and his efforts helped the Bison blockers rank 10th in the nation in 2011.
In addition to his work at Bethany, Will has been an assistant coach with the Penn Highlands Volleyball Club since 2005 and was a volunteer assistant for Penn State-Fayette's back-to-back PSUAC championship teams in 2005 and 2006. In addition, Will has served as tournament directors for the Bethany College-sponsored Ohio Valley Region USAV Juniors Tournament, as well as the Keystone Region Penn Highlands sponsored USAV Juniors Tournaments.
A graduate of California University of Pa., with a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, Will also has an MBA from California and an associate's degree in engineering technology and nanofabrication manufacturing from Penn State.

COLUMBIA - Educators worry that lottery-backed scholarships tied to grades are deterring South Carolina's top students from taking advanced courses in their senior year of high school.
Melanie Barton, director of the Education Oversight Committee, said students are telling guidance counselors they don't want to jeopardize their chance of getting a scholarship by taking a tough course that could bring a low grade. It appears to particularly be a concern for students expecting to receive Palmetto Fellow scholarships, awarded to classes' top graduates.
The system may actually deter high-performing students from challenging themselves academically, instead of encouraging students to take Advanced Placement or dual enrollment classes that allow high school students to earn college credit, Barton said.
"Senior-year students are saying, 'Mom or Dad doesn't want me to take that AP chemistry class because they don't want to risk losing Palmetto Fellows.' But the student really needs it because the student wants to be pre-med. The issue becomes money versus learning," she said Tuesday.
The Education Oversight Committee does not yet have statewide numbers to back up what officials are hearing anecdotally. Gov. Nikki Haley's budget proposal for 2014-15 includes a clause that tasks the agency with investigating the potential problem and, depending on its findings, evaluating solutions. A report to Haley and legislative leaders would be due by Dec. 1.
"Gov. Haley believes that it is important to maintain high standards for academic scholarships, but those standards should not prevent students from taking on challenges and stretching themselves academically," said her spokesman, Doug Mayer. "Providing scholarships that potentially inhibit students from challenging themselves isn't the answer."
Barton said the reluctance seems to be a by-product of the economic downturn, which heightened parents' concerns about paying increasing tuition costs. Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and dual-enrollment courses are weighted more, for GPA purposes, but even a B can be a problem for students in schools where there's lots of competition at the top, she said.
Palmetto Fellows can receive up to $10,000 a year toward college tuition, depending on their major, if they earn at least a 3.5 grade-point average and graduate in the top 6 percent of their class.
Life Scholarships provide up to $7,500 a year for students with a minimum 3.0 GPA who rank in the top third of their class. Other students graduating with a 3.0 GPA qualify for Hope Scholarships that provide up to $2,500 for only the first year of college.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 10, 2008 If you cut Paul Brady, he would probably bleed sea water.
Brady is Navy through and through, and he retires today after more than 50 years of service as a sailor and a civilian.
Brady, from near Nashville, Tenn., joined the service in 1958 and served on active duty through 1969. He worked as a civilian Navy communicator from 1969 to 1992, and has worked as a budget analyst in the service's counterdrug program since then.
The 72-year old former sailor was one of only eight survivors among the 28 people working in the Navy Command Center on Sept. 11, 2001. "The good Lord was looking out for me that day," Brady said during a recent interview. "That, and my Navy training."
Brady and the other members of his office watched on television as the airliners hit the World Trade Center. "After the second airliner hit, I remember saying that we would be the next target," Brady said.
He went back to his office against the D-Ring of the Pentagon, and the explosion came. "It sounded like an eight-inch shell detonating behind me," Brady said. It was Flight 78 hitting the building. The shock wave pushed Brady and a co-worker to the floor.
The air was filled with acrid, choking smoke, dust and fiberglass from the overhead tiles. The lights were out, and the water sprinklers cut on. "The place was in complete darkness," he said. "There were no battery-powered battle lanterns in the command center like we have on ships to provide lighting below decks."
Brady stood to find total chaos. He turned to see how his co-worker was and, "there, wonder of wonders, was a light shining through the smoke and dust," he said. "I immediately dropped to the deck and crawled over the rubble, staying below the smoke line to the light. 'Stay low. Stay alive' was drilled into our heads in damage control schools in the fleet."
He came upon a 4-foot square hole in the masonry and limestone wall of the Pentagon. "I bent over and walked through it to the alleyway between the rings," he said. His co-worker was already there, and he helped the then-66-year-old Brady over the rubble. They worked their way along the alleys between the rings to the Pentagon's center courtyard, and then out of the building.
"Aside from some cuts and bruises, I was fine," Brady said.
Brady was on active duty when the Soviets put up the Berlin Wall in 1961, and he helped enforce the blockade of Cuba in 1962 when Soviet missiles were found 90 miles from America's shores.
"Nothing happened either time," he said. "When you are 66 years old and at a desk in the Pentagon, one does not expect a hijacked airliner to blast into the command center."
Brady lives in Dumfries, Va., and is the proud father of seven children. He still tells sea stories of his service aboard the USS Newport News -- "the best damn cruiser in the fleet," he says -- during the Cuban missile crisis.
Over his career, Brady has seen many changes in the Pentagon. He said that when he started in 1969, there were no paintings or displays up in the corridors. People smoked at their desks, and eating establishments were few and far between.
"In the offices, people were really crammed together, and they didn't have the elevators they have now," he said. But not everything at the Pentagon has changed. "The paperwork and bureaucracy are just as bad as they always have been," he noted.
During his half-century of service, the military has become far more of a joint organization, Brady said. He started as a communicator and worked only on systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Later, that included the U.S. Air Force. Now, as a budget analyst with the counterdrug office, he routinely works with representatives of the other services, the Joint Staff and the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
Though Brady retires today, he's not severing his connections to the Pentagon.
"I plan to work as a volunteer in the Pentagon chaplain's office," he said. "Hopefully, I can help some people out and stay in contact with my good friends."

We made it to Friday!
Here's to the weekend and the short work week ahead of us! YES!
Look at all the exclamation points. Clearly I feel much better than I did last Friday…
Probably because I didn't do a thing last night. I had done the Shred again in the morning and planned to keep it a low key night. Which I did. I even had time to read before my Thursday night line-up. And that never happens…We can talk about my latest obsession with Michael Ian Black later. And yeah, that's tuna from a can. I like tuna, but (and I may have mentioned this before) I have issues when it comes to preparing fish. It intimidates me. Add that to my list of other things that intimidate me in the kitchen. So now it's fish, using yeast, and full-sized potatoes.
And yes- I KNOW you can do potatoes in the microwave. Punch a few holes in them and let them go. Yada yada yada. I've tried. Over and over. It just doesn't work for me. Ah baked potato… you win!
Anyways, so I use tuna in a can. I'm also a real snot when it come to what kind of tuna I use. I go to Trader Joe's and use their Albacore. Why, you ask? Well I used to go for the cheaper stuff. Or whatever was on sale at the grocery store. Light tuna is sometimes under 70 cents a can- crazy right? Anyways, it happened more than once (so I think my fear is legit), to where I've bitten into something hard and crunchy before.
I repeat- it was crunchy and shouldn't have been there. So I did the classy thing and pull it with my mouth full of food. I don't know if it was a scale or something- don't care to know either way. I do know I've started only buying it at TJ's (after a hiatus from tuna altogether) and am happy to report I have not had any instances since. Yuck.
But I have things of greater importance to worry about other than tuna in a can. Or at least I think so.
I'm baking two things (possibly three) next week. I want them to be as fresh as possible on Thursday, need one done by Wednesday, and am going out Wednesday night. Both things require multiple steps. I feel like I made need some paper and a schedule for this. Possibly some highlighters. Or email alerts. Either way, it's going to be hectic.
What am I getting myself into?
Thank God I never paid attention long enough to be able to offer to make the turkey… ;)
I've also got my race to think about. I'm not worried about the mileage. It's four miles. I do it often enough. I even did it this morning at an 8:30 pace (exactly). Yeah- I actually made it outside of my apartment to get to the workout room this morning. It was dark. And cold. And quiet- I was the only one there. But the workout is done for the day and it makes me happy.
And finally, holiday shopping is starting to enter the brain.
Yeah. I said it. I'm bringing up holiday shopping. Has anyone started? Or even better- does anyone participate in Black Friday?
I never have. As a retail worker in college, I've experienced it from the other side. And it… is… terrifying. For two years I worked in the lingerie department of a big department store. I wasn't there for the actual opening, but two hours later, people were still running through the store. Underwear everywhere. Kids running around unsupervised, pulling down the panties on all the mannequins. Cash register lines wrapped around the store.
Even the seasoned retail worker would have been tempted to cry in the corner behind a rack of clothes.
Some people are INTENSE.
My friend Danielle is one of those people. She is a chick with a plan. And after asking nicely, she agreed to share her secrets with everyone by doing a guest post for me. So look for that later today. ;)
At first I was nervous she was going to be like this chick:
I showed her this video. And she said no way- she could take this chick.
I have awesome friends.
Happy Friday!

Emergence of bimodal cell population responses from the interplay between analog single-cell signaling and protein expression noise

Cell-to-cell variability in protein expression can be large, and its propagation through signaling networks affects biological outcomes. Here, we apply deterministic and probabilistic models and biochemical measurements to study how network topologies and cell-to-cell protein abundance variations interact to shape signaling responses.
We observe bimodal distributions of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) responses to epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation, which are generally thought to indicate bistable or ultrasensitive signaling behavior in single cells. Surprisingly, we find that a simple MAPK/ERK-cascade model with negative feedback that displays graded, analog ERK responses at a single cell level can explain the experimentally observed bimodality at the cell population level. Model analysis suggests that a conversion of graded input–output responses in single cells to digital responses at the population level is caused by a broad distribution of ERK pathway activation thresholds brought about by cell-to-cell variability in protein expression.
Our results show that bimodal signaling response distributions do not necessarily imply digital (ultrasensitive or bistable) single cell signaling, and the interplay between protein expression noise and network topologies can bring about digital population responses from analog single cell dose responses. Thus, cells can retain the benefits of robustness arising from negative feedback, while simultaneously generating population-level on/off responses that are thought to be critical for regulating cell fate decisions.

House-Cleaning Tips for Moms-to-Be
Each time I've been pregnant, the thought of cleaning anything has seemed about as appealing as running a marathon in stilettos. At first it's the overwhelming drowsiness that makes mopping the floor as arduous a challenge as scaling Mount Everest. Later, the big tummy and diminished lung capacity put dusting and vacuuming on the same level as one-hundred meter sprints. In a nutshell, the best way to clean your house while you're pregnant is to have someone else do it.
But if you're like me and can't afford to hire a cleaning service or just can't rationalize paying someone else to spray down your windows with Windex when you are perfectly capable (although you may just not feel like it), your next best option is to surrender the mop to your husband.
All joking aside, the reality is that most pregnant women spend several hours a week cleaning their own homes in spite of their heavy eyelids and bulging midsections. So go ahead and hunt down those dust bunnies as long as you take a few extra precautions to ensure that your bundle of joy will arrive hale and hardy.
Hands Off the Kitty Litter
Old wives' tales about pregnancy abound, but the rumor you've heard about cat litter is actually true. While it's unnecessary to toss the kitty out with the litter, pregnant women should avoid contact with cat boxes. Cat feces can contain a parasite called toxoplasma gondii, which causes an infection known as toxoplasmosis. Although it sounds formidable, toxoplasmosis isn't a big problem for healthy adults. It usually causes mild flu symptoms, if any at all. But its impact on a fetus is another story. Toxoplasmosis infection can lead to serious illness, pre-term birth, miscarriage, or fetal death.

Best New Radio Show St. Louis 2002 - Memphis to Manchester
John Wendland's Memphis to Manchester show, which airs every Friday from 8-10 a.m., epitomizes all the qualities that make KDHX the best radio station in St. Louis and quite possibly the world: wide-ranging but impeccable programming, a minimum of chitchat and a genuine passion for sharing great music that's largely ignored on the corporate-controlled, profit-driven commercial airwaves. Though Wendland's choices transcend mere genre classification, the flow is seamless, seemingly inevitable, resulting in a rich and subtle map that traces the hidden connections between the avant-psych of Captain Beefheart and the country/soul of Arthur Alexander, the sweet riddims of Jimmy Cliff and the astringent Brit-folk of Kirsty MacColl, the transcendent garage of Them and the twitchy punk polemics of the Clash. One recent installment, the glorious "Monkeycast" edition, crammed 35 songs about primates into two hours, with contributions from such disparate sources as Annette Funicello, Toots and the Maytals, the Kinks and Johnny Paycheck. But Wendland doesn't need a clever thematic hook to enchant his listeners: He's got a wealth of knowledge, an apparently exhaustive record collection and an on-air personality that's refreshingly free of egotism and pretension. Just when you thought KDHX couldn't possibly get any better, along came Wendland, proof positive that, on community radio if nowhere else, the airwaves can enchant as well as educate.

A form is a sequence of movements traditionally used in the practice and performance of a martial art. By practicing a form over and over again, it is hoped that in time the practitioner will be able to execute those movements in a natural and reflex-like manner.
Most martial arts don't use the English word "form" in their teachings. Instead they use a word from the country where the art originated.
Note that these tags should not be used. Use the more generic "forms" tag instead.

Eileen Manassian
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
Dear Lord, I am bruised
And I am bent down low
I am about to break
And I'm about to let go
Lord, I am smoldering
About to be snuffed out
My light is growing dim
Don't know what life's about
Lord, you made a promise
That I'm going to hold you to
Lord, you see my heart
Lord, You know what to do
I know that you love me
For you spoke to me today
You said no one can harm me
That you'd love me come what may
Lord, I'm a bent reed
Lord, I'm a smoldering wick
Lord, come to my rescue
Oh dear Lord, do be quick
This burden is too heavy
Too heavy for me to bear
And I do not deserve it
Please, Lord, show me your're there
Straighten up this bruised reed
Lord, rekindle my fading light
Lord, fill me with your love
Only your love can make it right.

I've spent the last few years travelling in Australia And as i have been doing my research to find work with accommodation provided around Auz ive found so many websites that charge you to find you work? What the! You should never have to pay to find a job, its rediculous and a big money making scheme.
If you look hard enough you can find all this work for free, this webpage doesnt have job listings but instead has all the websites and links to companys that are constantly hiring that provide accomodation i have found through hours and hours of research so you dont have to do the same!
This page probably only has 1% of the sites out there as ive mainly been looking for work in Queensland and have rules out alot of positions so please bear that in mind, in saying that PLEASE add all the website you know of that arent on this site so i can add it and let everyone else know! The more thats on here the better!
If this has helped you or you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment/questions on the feedback page.
Happy hunting!!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Lisa Vanderpump Snubs Adrienne Maloof in the Upcoming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 3 Premiere
Don't expect Lisa Vanderpump and Adrienne Maloof to be particularly chummy when Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returns for its Season 3 premiere next week. Quite the opposite, in fact.
In the premiere episode, Lisa throws an anniversary party for her restaurant Villa Blanca, and she invites all of her fellow Housewives — except for Adrienne, that is! Even newbie Yolanda H. Foster gets an invite, but not Lisa's former neighbor and bestie.
In a clip from the episode, Taylor Armstrong mentions the party to Adrienne, not realizing that Adrienne hadn't been invited. "I feel like a big jerk for letting the cat out of the bag," Taylor tells Adrienne, acknowledging how "awkward" this is.
Needless to say, Adrienne is surprised and hurt to be the only one whom Lisa snubbed. "I thought we had moved on, and apparently she's still upset," Adrienne says. "Of course, being left out is hurtful."
"To not be invited is a little bit mean girl-ish, and it seemed pretty frivolous to go to this extent," Adrienne adds.
So will Lisa realize the error of her ways and send a belated invite to Adrienne after all? Let's hope so — and we can't wait until the premiere to find out!

Wednesday, June 27
PLAN A: 2:54, Widowspeak @ The Casbah. Putting a fresh spin on a well-trodden sound, London rockers 2:54 take inspiration from '90s bands like Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine to deliver smoldering, deeply passionate indie-rock. It's been done a million times before, of course, but it's still quite good. PLAN B: Lisa Marie Presley, Terraplane Sun @ Belly Up. Elvis Presley progeny Lisa Marie Presley usually strikes the stance of a hardened pop-rocker, but she goes full-folk on her new album, Storm & Grace. It's a wise choice, offering a nice balance between toughness and grace. BACKUP PLAN: Northern Tigers, Jeans Wilder, Shiva Trash, Mohammed Qiang, DJ Gonzo @ Tin Can Ale House.
Thursday, June 28
PLAN A: Whitehorse, Sodomia, Looming @ Shakedown Bar. The final installment of the noise-obsessed "June Gloom" series is a real doozy. While Melbourne, Australia, doom-metalers Whitehorse churn out cruelly slow riffs and hellish howls, Sodomia combines evil black-metal vibes with eerie noise. PLAN B: Devfits, Little White Teeth, Finn Riggins, The Boyish Charms @ Tin Can Ale House. You have to see Rob Crow's Devits at least once in your life— the Devo / Misfits mashup project is totally weird in the most amusing way. But don't miss Boise, Idaho's Finn Riggins, whose quirky, keyboard-topped indie-rock is relentlessly fun. BACKUP PLAN: Toki Wright, Burnell Washburn, Parker & The Numberman @ Kava Lounge.
Friday, June 29
PLAN A1: K-Holes, Teenage Burritos @ Bar Pink. New York City's no-wave movement might've fizzled out long ago, but you can hear it in K-Holes. As I wrote about last week, the Brooklyn band channels all the grit and grime of the city with sneering vocals, howling sax and pummeling rhythms. PLAN A2: Smile Now Cry Later, Rafter, Lion Cut DJ @ Whistle Stop. Local pop diva Smile Now Cry Later is about to release her awesome new album, so you can bet your booty that she and hubby Rafter will go all-out at this CD-release party. PLAN B: Ab-Soul, Black Resume, Cali Cam, Highfii Kiddo, Tha Element @ Porter's Pub. A member of L.A.'s Black Hippy hip-hop alongside cohort Kendrick Lamar, rapper Ab-Soul's cockiness knows no bounds ("I'm a fucking genius / gripping my fucking penis") but he has the skills and insight to back it up. BACKUP PLAN: The Soft Pack, Heavy Hawaii @ Belly Up.
Saturday, June 30
PLAN A: The Nervous Wreckords, Maren Parusel, Hills Like Elephants, Black Hondo @ The Casbah. You won't find any obscure sounds here (that's what Plan B is for). The Nervous Wreckords and Maren Parusel have both released new albums—Let Them All Talk and Tightrope Walker, respectively—and they're full of straight-up, radioready pop. PLAN B: The Array Duo, Dead Animal Mod, Religious Girls, Vaginals, Rapid Youth @ Tin Can Ale House. The inventor of a popular series of instruments and MIDI controllers based on a unique system of note arrangements, The Array Duo's Bill Wesley is as brilliant as he is eccentric. With their interest in mind-expanding sonics, the duo's performance tonight is bound to be surprising. BACKUP PLAN: Johnny Osbourne @ World Beat Center.
Sunday, July 1
PLAN A: Hyena, The Frail, Cheyenne Giles, Mike Delgado @ El Dorado. Hyena have electro-pop on lockdown. After delivering a slew of dancefloor bangers on 2010's We See You, the local duo just released an EP that's sweeter, slower and so much sexier. Check out our review on Page 27. BACKUP PLAN: "Bromigofest" w/ Infinity Dots, Balloons, Orgasmatron, Religious Girls, Baby Buffalo, L.W.D.S., Array Light Show, DJ Li Fu @ Ché Café.
Monday, July 2
PLAN A: Beata Bermuda, Ezza Rose, Montalban Quintet @ Tin Can Ale House. With their violins and three-part harmonies, Swedish folk trio Beata Bermuda take you on a romp through green pastures and snowy mountain-scapes. Don't miss locals Montalban Quintet, who sound like Ennio Morricone with an indie-rock twist. BACK- UP PLAN: The Rich Hands, Better Best, Real Things Are Good @ Soda Bar.
Tuesday, July 3
PLAN A: Hot Club of Cowtown, Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash @ The Griffin. Emiting the fiddle-playin', standup-basspluckin' sound of classic western swing and hot jazz, Hot Club of Cowtown are all about having an old-fashioned good time. BACKUP PLAN: Blackout Party, Barrio Tiger, Deadly Birds, Stephen Rey & The Sex Trash @ The Casbah.

It seems to be about 40 years too late for Joseph Lieberman to run for President as a Democrat, the 1960's being the last time that hawks were dominant within the party's ranks. But there is time yet for him to become Vice President or Secretary of State under a Republican President. (One or the other would seem a sure thing if his good friend John McCain wins the White House.) He certainly deserves nothing less for his consistent willingness to say and do the right thing on national security matters, regardless of which way the political winds are blowing.
He has, most notably, remained a stalwart supporter of the war effort in Iraq in the face of its increasing unpopularity among the public at large and among almost all of his Democratic colleagues on Capitol Hill. (Joshua Muravchik has already reported on the great speech Lieberman gave in Prague laying out the stakes in Iraq and the broader Middle East.) Not only does Lieberman want to take the war to the jihadists in Iraq, but he is also breaking the great taboo in Washington by proposing to take the war to their sponsors in Iran.
The consensus view in the capital seems to be that while Iran makes war by proxy on the U.S., we are supposed to make nice with Iran. That was the recommendation of the Iraq Study Group. But Iran continues to flaunt the can't-we-all-get-along approach through shipping potent mines and rockets to anti-American fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan, refusing to end its nuclear-weapons program, and its recent seizure of innocent Iranian-Americans as purported spies, among other offenses. The Bush administration reacts largely with rhetorical bluster, backed up by some sanctions and the movement of aircraft carriers into the Persian Gulf.
Lieberman quite rightly points out that our pressure has been insufficient to make Iran change its behavior and that stronger medicine may be in order. On CBS's Face the Nation this past Sunday, he declared:
I think we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq. And to me that would include a strike into—over the border into Iran where I—we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers. . . . They can't believe that they have immunity for training and equipping people to come in and kill Americans. It's just—we cannot let them get away with it. If we do, they'll take that as a sign of weakness on our part, and we will pay for it in Iraq and throughout the region, and ultimately right here at home.
This has earned Lieberman yet more rebukes, such as this bombastic article in the New York Observer, entitled "Lieberman's Iranian War Fantasy." In prose that almost parodies State Department thinking, the author, Niall Stanage, concludes: "Dialogue and diplomacy do not make for especially magnetic rallying calls. But they are a much more sensible idea than the dangerous chimera of a short sharp shock to Iran proposed by Mr. Lieberman."
Stanage is right that the idea of using force against Iran—given its potentially serious repercussions—needs more careful study. But it is his own call for "dialogue and diplomacy" with mullahs who plainly reject both that is the "fantasy" here. Lieberman is willing to face up to the unpleasant reality of the Middle East today, while most of Washington prefers to look the other way as Iran makes war on us.

This shirt wrinkles very easily. I have numerous other Jos. A. Bank shirts from different 'collections' that don't wrinkle. I would have thought the "executive collection" would have been wrinkle free but that is not the case.

I am always inspired and impressed with Kitchen Fun with my 3 Sons food creations that I decided to try my hand at a fun snack. And you guys know how much I love owls, so I made Rice Cake Owls with these simple ingredients.
- Rice Cakes
- Peanut Butter or Nutella (or try using alternative nut butters for those with allergies)
- 2 Ritz Crackers
- 2 Yogurt Covered Raisins (or regular raisins would work too)
Spread your peanut butter (nut butter, Nutella, etc) onto the rice cake to look like wings and also on top of the Ritz Crackers. Place the Ritz Crackers on top (they will stick to the top of the "wings"). Add Raisins for eyes and there you have it!

Iran's charm offensive is already paying diplomatic dividends, but its supreme leader is signaling that he is already starting to pull the plug on the supposed opening for nuclear diplomacy. Iran's foreign minister told a pro-regime newspaper today that Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was none too pleased with Western favorite Hassan Rouhani for the new president's phone call with President Obama as well as his meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry last month in New York. Khamenei, who is the real ruler of Iran, apparently thinks Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and Rouhani exceeded their authority in the chats even though neither conceded much to American leaders who appeared desperate to seize the chance to reopen talks with the Islamist regime.
The exact meaning of Khamenei's signal to the so-called moderates may be debated. But it repeats a familiar pattern in which Iran tricks the West into wasting time on diplomacy only to make it clear later that no deal is in the offing. Yet despite this, Western nations still appear to be doubling down on their willingness to believe in Rouhani's supposed promise of moderation. Britain appears to be renewing diplomatic ties with Iran two years after severing relations in the wake of an attack on their Tehran embassy. And the United Nations has astonishingly named the nuclear scofflaw as special rapporteur of the United Nations General Assembly's Committee on Disarmament and International Security.
Added to the prospect of the Obama administration's eager desire to give engagement with Iran another try leading to more months of negotiations, these developments show just how much Rouhani has already achieved with a charm offensive that Khamenei is unlikely to bear fruit with actual progress on the nuclear issue.
Khamenei's signal that he isn't going to let Rouhani go too far may seem to be counter-intuitive given all the talk of a new spirit in Iran has already accomplished. But it makes sense when you consider that Rouhani's own positions on the key nuclear issue are little different from those of Khamenei despite the attempts of Westerners to convince themselves otherwise. As Jeffrey Goldberg wrote yesterday in Bloomberg, Rouhani "is proud of the work he did to advance his country's nuclear program — and also of his efforts to stymie Western attempts to stop that work."
Goldberg noted Rouhani's past role in tricking the West on nuclear negotiations that he bragged about earlier this year. But the deceptive nature of Rouhani's moderation that was on display at the U.N. still has not penetrated the consciousness of the Obama administration or its Western allies even though these facts are not exactly a secret. Yet few appear to be listening to such warnings or those of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who again said today that any deal with Iran must ensure the end of Iran's uranium enrichment as well its plutonium program.
Western negotiators have been offering Iran deals which will enable them to keep their nuclear program for years, but Tehran has always preferred to preserve its ability to build a weapon rather than to accept and thus end economic sanctions. The Rouhani charm offensive sets up the West for a repeat of this farce even as Khamenei is making it clear that he will never give up the regime's nuclear ambitions.
The bottom line is that while the West negotiates with itself in order to strengthen Iranian "moderates" against the supposed "hardliners," the regime buys itself more time to get closer to its nuclear goal. Though Khamenei and Rouhani may appear to be at cross-purposes, they are working together to advance their common nuclear agenda. The only question is how long it will take President Obama to catch on.

Black Bean Chowder with Yogurt-Cilantro Relish
I've been cooking like crazy, and boy are my love handles tired! (Tap-tap…this thing on?) Between the cookbook (more on that soon), cooking recipes for this site, and cooking the Dairy Contest finalist recipes, I've blown through an unnatural quantity of dish soap and my refrigerator—and my belly—are in a constant state of bulge. *Burp* There. That's better. Here's the second of the five Dairy Contest finalist recipes I'll be profiling through the end of this coming week, before announcing the Grand Prize winner. It's Black Bean Chowder with Yogurt-Cilantro Relish, submitted by Liz, who created the recipe just for this contest. Mmmm. C'mon and watch me make it.
Liz's Black Bean Chowder Printable Recipe
First thing I did, which I don't have photos of because I'm scatterbrained and forgetful, was rinse 32 oz. of black beans. Then I covered them with water and soaked them overnight. The next morning, I drained the beans and set them aside. Then I made the Yogurt-Cilantro Relish:
I began by peeling (with a carrot peeler) and seeding (scraping out with a spoon) two cucumbers.
I love cucumbers. I don't think I realized that until this exact moment.
I chopped up the cucumbers until I had 2 good cups' worth.
Next, I grabbed a nice bunch of cilantro. OH, do I ever love cilantro. The crunch is so wonderful and the flavor is indescribable. I just love indescribable flavors.
I chopped up enough cilantro to make 1 cup.
Then I threw the cucumbers and cilantro into a bowl with 1 cup plain, unflavored yogurt. (I also sprinkled in 1/2 teaspoon of salt.)
Then I gave the mixture a stir.
Mmm. I could eat this whole bowl.
Next, I covered the bowl and put it in the fridge to get all nice and cool and flavorful.
Then it was time to make the chowder, baby!
First up, I sauteed 1 diced medium onion with 3 cloves of garlic (the recipe said pressed; I just diced it really fine) in 3 tablespoons olive oil.
After a couple of minutes, I threw in a 4 oz. can of diced green chilies…
And stirred it all up to combine.
Then I threw in the soaked black beans and 6 cups chicken stock. (I was out of chicken stock—too much cooking lately—so I simply added 4 bullion cubes to 6 cups water and called it a day.)
Then I added a ham hock, which you can find in the ham/pork section of your friendly local grocer. This hamhock was smoked, but I usually just get plain, uncooked ones. Either one works fine.
Ham hocks are really weird. I just had to get that out.
After that, it was time to add the spices: chili powder, cumin…and cayenne pepper, which gave it a really nice—but tolerable—kick.
And here's the kicker: CURRY POWDER. Oh, my. We're talkin' flavor to the max.
And finally, Liquid Smoke. The recipe called for 1 teaspoon, but I halved that because Liquid Smoke and I have a love-hate relationship and I didn't want the smoked ham hock to overpower.
After adding all the spices, I gave it a good stir and brought it to a boil. After letting it boil for 1 minute, I reduced the heat and simmered for an hour…
Mmm…baby. Right about now my house was smelling awfully dadgum good. Marlboro Man kept wandering into the kitchen, walking by, and spanking me on the bottom, which is his way of saying, "That smells delicious, Honey."
Time for the next step: I dropped in 2 tablespoons of butter…
And 6 cups of delicious milk. I used 2%.
I gave it a good stir, said, "Lawsie MERCY," and simmered it for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Next, I grated 3 cups of cheddar cheese and sprinkled 4 tablespoons flour over the top.
Then I stirred it together to coat the cheese.
After 30 minutes of simmering, the chowder is lookin' mighty fine.
As per the instructions, I raised the heat and added in the cheese…
Then I stirred it for a minute or two while it boiled, giving the flour a chance to really thicken the chowder.
Then it was time to eat! I could hardly wait.
Hyacinth ordered these for me. She's mean. She knows of my addiction to china patterns and doesn't even lift a finger to help me overcome it, the wench.
In goes the chowder. Just look at the color—all dark and creamy and gorgeous.
I grabbed the Yogurt-Cilantro relish from the fridge and spooned some over the top.
Then I spooned on some more, because here's what I believe: if some is good, more is better.
Repeat that three times daily. You'll soon start to believe it, too.
Now, go and make this for dinner sometime this week. Not only does it include three different kinds of dairy, the flavors will rock your world. And it'll just feel good goin' down.
Thank you, Liz! I loved it.
Watch for the other three Dairy Contest finalists' dishes this week!
Here's Liz's recipe: (Printable Recipe up shortly!)
Black Bean Chowder with Yogurt-Cilantro Relish
1 32-ounce package dried black beans
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, pressed
Olive oil
1 small ham hock
1 4-oz can diced green chilies
6 cups chicken stock
6 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
3 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon mild curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup plain yogurt
2 cups chopped cucumber (peeled and seeded)
1 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
Place beans in a colander and rinse the beans well. Place in an 8-quart Dutch oven and cover with water (about an inch over the top of the beans) and soak overnight.
The next morning, prepare the relish by mixing all the ingredients together, then place in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Then drain the beans and rinse them well.
Gently sauté the onion and garlic in the stock pot with 2 -3 TBSP of olive oil, then add diced green chiles. Place beans back in the Dutch oven and add chicken stock, chili powder, cumin, curry powder, cayenne and salt and pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil. Boil for one minute, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally. After one hour is up, add the milk and 2 TBSP butter and simmer another 30 minutes. While the chowder is simmering, place the shredded cheese in a large bowl and add the flour, toss to coat the cheese with the flour. Bring the chowder to a boil and stir in the cheese. Boil while stirring constantly until the chowder thickens to your desired consistency. Ladle chowder into bowls and top with one or two TBSP of yogurt-cilantro relish placed in the center. Serve with warm tortillas.
For a more elegant presentation you could puree the chowder in batches in your blender and serve with the relish, but then it might be more of a soup than a chowder.
This was actually really good cold too, in fact my husband preferred it that way, but that could be because I made him test the recipe when it was about 85 degrees outside.
Busy Mom's shortcuts
You could certainly use canned black beans in this recipe to cut the time, but make sure to purchase good, quality beans and drain their liquid and rinse them well before cooking.
This recipe would lend itself nicely to the slow-cooker or roaster oven (as long as you have a big one). You could make the relish the night before and soak your beans overnight and the next morning you could drain and rinse the beans, throw everything into the slow-cooker and put it on low for 6-8 hours. There's nothing better than going about your busy day and having dinner ready in the evening!

CanNOT wait to cook this on those cold Utah nights!
ba On Sunday, August 24 at 4:18 pm
DELISH!! Will try it this week. Thanks P.W. and Liz
edelweiss On Sunday, August 24 at 4:19 pm
That looks yummy – except for the cilantro. I'm one of those weirdos that can't tolerate the stuff. I'll have to try it with parsley instead. Otherwise, I'll be following it step-by-step.
Thanks for sharing!
Vicki Miller On Sunday, August 24 at 4:19 pm
Looks refreshing!!!!
Elizabeth B On Sunday, August 24 at 4:19 pm
This looks really good! I bet the cheese muffins would be great with this recipe.
Ohiogirl On Sunday, August 24 at 4:21 pm
Wow – black beans and milk. Woulda never thought of that.
Hmm. I confess to being a tad unsure but if you say it's good, it's worth a try. The spice combo sounds great!
Julie On Sunday, August 24 at 4:22 pm
ohhh yummy
Robin On Sunday, August 24 at 4:22 pm
I was just looking forward to Fall and all the soup recipes that go with it! I'll add this one to the list!
CarlyS On Sunday, August 24 at 4:22 pm
Yum yum!
Jenny K in MN On Sunday, August 24 at 4:22 pm
Wow. That looks incredible. I will be trying this one, soon.
kerry On Sunday, August 24 at 4:23 pm
i bet those cheese muffins would go good with this.
kerry On Sunday, August 24 at 4:24 pm
i'd love it, too, if i had an original thought. heh.
Ang in TX On Sunday, August 24 at 4:24 pm
For sure this will become a staple dish when cooler weather arrives… yummy-licious!
Randi On Sunday, August 24 at 4:25 pm
MMMmmm I love black beans. I'm a little afraid of the heat though. Maybe I can turn it down a little.
Books for Foodies On Sunday, August 24 at 4:26 pm
I wonder if this would work with pinto beans. I like them so much better than black beans….
Cheryl E, Smith On Sunday, August 24 at 4:26 pm
My hubby LOVES bean soup, me, not so much. The topping looks marvelous. Thanks a lot for such great recipes.
Life On An Island On Sunday, August 24 at 4:26 pm
YUM!!! Can't wait to try this one… the rain is once again here in the Northwest.. perfect timing!! Thanks P-Dubb
corrie On Sunday, August 24 at 4:26 pm
What a great spin on bean soup!
Kelly Garasha On Sunday, August 24 at 4:28 pm
Wow, that looks DELISH! I don't make soup much, but I think I will give that one a try. The thing is too that I probably wouldn't have made it without the photos. I love the way you do recipes. You inspire me! I love it!~ Thanks for being so "dadgum" awesome!
Pamela Regentin On Sunday, August 24 at 4:29 pm
This soup looks delicious! As I was reading I was wondering where the predominant *dairy* was going to come in. Pleasant surprise!
I do have one little negative comment, if you don't mind. As a past judge in a local food contest (replaying here next month), I am a stickler for the rules since the contestants really count on the judges to do so for fairness and integrity of results. I personally don't think that the judge (Ree) should alter the recipe in ANY way when preparing for the taste testing. If the recipe calls for one teaspoon of liquid smoke, as developed by the contestant, shouldn't you use it, even if you have to judge the flavor as too strong in the end? Altering the recipe for your personal taste…I would question that.
Just me….the stickler.
Janet On Sunday, August 24 at 4:29 pm
"Ham hocks are really weird. I just had to get that out." LOL When I saw that picture of the ham hock I almost threw up a little bit.
That recipe is incredible! I can't wait to try it.
leslie h (in MD) On Sunday, August 24 at 4:34 pm
Oh, my, but this does sound yummy. Too bad that between the milk and the beans, my digestive tract would explode. I will continue to live vicariously through the rest of you who will undoubtedly cook it and eat it.
Philly On Sunday, August 24 at 4:34 pm
sorry on this one,,,,have to barf
Dani On Sunday, August 24 at 4:36 pm
Sounds amazing! Truly. I adore black beans.
I disagree with comment 20 for this recipe contest in particular. Ree's geographic location could make minor substitutions necessary for start. Besides, Ree made the rules an they didn't say anything about precision!
Biz On Sunday, August 24 at 4:37 pm
Love everything about this recipe – I make soup all year long. This will definitely be in the rotation!
Stephanie On Sunday, August 24 at 4:38 pm
looks really, really good. EXCEPT for the ham hock (one of those weird vegetarians here) what can I sub for the ham hock instead? And is the end result too spicy for little kids? thanks!
Puppydogs On Sunday, August 24 at 4:40 pm
Oh this does look good. DH and I have this soapy thing about cilantro…so, I will try to make a small batch of relish with 1/2 the amount of cilantro.
I am thinking we can just add sour cream vs the relish and go from there…..hmmm….
Katy On Sunday, August 24 at 4:40 pm
Nommmmm….I can't wait for the weather to cool down a bit to try this out!
CourtneyK On Sunday, August 24 at 4:42 pm
Wahoo! Can't wait to try this. My husband has been making fun of me for hitting "refresh" every 2 seconds waiting for this post to come up. He'll be sorry for making fun of me once I make this for him! Clearly I've really been looking forward to seeing this recipe and I have even higher hopes for how it will taste now! Also, I'm pleased to see a healthy-option, dairy-based recipe. Fabulous.
Shelley On Sunday, August 24 at 4:43 pm
This looks really good, but I think I'm the only one in my house that would eat it, because everyone else is either Miss or Mr. Picky. Mr Picky would be my husband.
It also looks like a lot of work. Plus, you lost me after you said that MM kept coming through the kitchen and spanking you. I couldn't concentrate after that.
CindyDianne On Sunday, August 24 at 4:43 pm
Oh man! I'd love to make this for supper. If only my husband would eat soup…
margaret On Sunday, August 24 at 4:44 pm
Sounds great! I'll be making this when its not 150 degrees outside here in AZ.
Jen - DelaneysMom On Sunday, August 24 at 4:45 pm
Ya lost me at black beans. Im sure another bean would be a good substitute though. It still looks yummy though!
Cheryl in Nebraska On Sunday, August 24 at 4:52 pm
Yum this looks so good! I love bean soup and the relish sounds great with it!
katie On Sunday, August 24 at 5:06 pm
Man I want a cheesy muffin with that!
And I could eat the cilantro relish alone, is that wrong?
BOSSY On Sunday, August 24 at 5:07 pm
Lord, send the defibrillator. That looks yum.
Naomi in Ohio On Sunday, August 24 at 5:08 pm
Adding this to our Menu Plan for the week after next! Looks delicious … . and thanks for the "if you're a busy mom" hints/tips (i.e. canned black beans and the crockpot option)
Meg On Sunday, August 24 at 5:09 pm
Holy crap, that looks delicious. Thanks, Ree and Liz!
Ruth On Sunday, August 24 at 5:11 pm
Erm, I don't want to seem rude but that looks disgusting! I usually hang on your every word, but you've lost me on this one! Are you sure this isn't a halloween trick…in erm, August?!
Renie On Sunday, August 24 at 5:12 pm
This may be a way for us to tolerate living the Dave Ramsey lifestyle of "beans and rice, rice and beans" a bit more. Hubby will like!
Amber C On Sunday, August 24 at 5:13 pm
Oh my gosh this looks amazingly good! Can't wait to try it. Bet it would taste good with some cheese muffins too!
Becky from Canada On Sunday, August 24 at 5:13 pm
I'm with Dana, cold Canadian nights would be the best for this. It sounds great but I'm not a big fan of cilantro, could I subsitute parsley maybe? Thanks Ree…Bec
Amy Beth On Sunday, August 24 at 5:16 pm
I think I could bathe in that yoghurt, cilantro, cucumber relish!
Sharon On Sunday, August 24 at 5:17 pm
If I were doing this in the crockpot, I would add the cheese/flour mixture about 1/2 hour from the end and then put the crockpot on high. It might be a sticky gooey mess if you let the thickener sit in the pot on all day. Not that there's anything wrong with a sticky gooey mess.
Jensamom On Sunday, August 24 at 5:17 pm
THIS must be spectacularly delicious! I also adore the china! Really pretty. Think this would be dinner tonight if it weren't a gazillon degrees outside! Will be making it as soon as I can. Thanks, Liz and Ree!
valerie pyland On Sunday, August 24 at 5:18 pm
mmm this sounds great. I bet the cheddar muffins would taste great with this soup!
Amber On Sunday, August 24 at 5:23 pm
If you count the yogurt in the relish, the milk, butter and cheese in the soup, you actually have FOUR types of dairy in this recipe. And the cheese muffins do sound like a wonderful companion to this recipe.
Nikki H On Sunday, August 24 at 5:24 pm
I think I've finally found a recipe using black beans that I will actually like! Yes!
Nikki H On Sunday, August 24 at 5:27 pm
Well, do you think pinto beans would work, too? I'm just askin.
katmayo On Sunday, August 24 at 5:29 pm
Love all the ingredients, but cannot abide Cilantro…it's like nails on a blackboard to me…just keeping it real.
Theresa from Alberta On Sunday, August 24 at 5:30 pm
I am going to try that soup in the crock pot when there is an inch or so snow on the ground and it is darn cold.
I will be cooking up the cheese muffins this week with chili as we have company coming. um, would Hyacinth mind telling where she picked up that china ? very nice.
mom23 On Sunday, August 24 at 5:30 pm
Mmmmm, this does sound good, but I too will wait until it cools off a bit. I love soup on a crisp, fall night or on a cold, winter one! I should have entered my Cheddar Chowder recipe…just never got around to entering the contest…And I agree with all the others who thought those cheese muffins would go nicely with this recipe! Can't wait to try both recipes….once this baby gets here and the gestational diabetes goes away…I will be much more productive in my kitchen!!!
What Happens Next... On Sunday, August 24 at 5:32 pm
This one looks like a keeper for sure!
I can't WAIT for some cooler weather. I *heart* soup.
mary beth On Sunday, August 24 at 5:33 pm
I am not a black bean fan but I think this looks good to try. Great! Love the cucumber thingie. My honey loves cukes and cilantro. A cookbook!!! And before christmas?? Yes PLEASE! I like to christmas shop early. I was just in Borders and they their 2009 calenders for sale and I thought " where is Ree's?"
emma in Ft. Worth On Sunday, August 24 at 5:33 pm
Ree – will you save some for me? I LOVE black bean anything – AND cilantro AND cucumbers… But picky hubby doesn't like black beans heated (only my cold black bean salad – which IS amazingly good)…OR cucumbers… So I'd be having a whole lot of black beans and um, er, uh – well – you know what beans cause…..Thanks for cooking it up!! It looks GREAT to me (when fall arrives…)
To Nikki #50 – – I would think that pinto beans would work just fine too. My opinion.
mary beth On Sunday, August 24 at 5:35 pm
I am not a black bean fan but this I will try!
My honey loves cukes with cilantro.
A cookbook?? And before Christmas! Yes, please!
Borders has their 2009 calenders for sale already and I thought today; "Where is Ree's?"
Rachael On Sunday, August 24 at 5:35 pm
Oh my….that just looks delicious! I'm going to have to try that! 'Course I could eat the relish by itself and be a happy camper! YUMMO!
mary beth On Sunday, August 24 at 5:35 pm
Andrea On Sunday, August 24 at 5:37 pm
Ok, if I liked black beans at all, that would be some good chowder. But I don't so let's talk about the real star. Your cream le cruset dutch oven is so beautiful that my heart hurts. I want one so badly! Please make one of those bad boys the next kitchen give-away.
~Your dutchovenless reader
mary beth On Sunday, August 24 at 5:37 pm
Emily A. On Sunday, August 24 at 5:38 pm
Oh dear gosh, I might try this WITHOUT the cilantro.
Cilantro tastes like battery acid!
It ruins everything it touches!
mary beth On Sunday, August 24 at 5:40 pm
My posts got lost somewhere- sorry for the testing.
I am not a black bean fan but will definitely try this!
A cookbook and before Christmas? Yes, please! I xmas shop early. Borders has their 2009 calenders for sale today aleady and I thougth 'Where was Ree's?" I will wait to buy yours. Keep up the great blogging.
mary beth On Sunday, August 24 at 5:41 pm
oops- sorry for the double posting.
The Mommy On Sunday, August 24 at 5:41 pm
Those cheesey muffins were so yummy! I can't wait to try this though…gawd I love cillantro!
Impacting the Earth little, my children much
Tracy Ras On Sunday, August 24 at 5:43 pm
Oh my heavens this is WONDERFUL!! I can't wait to try it.
Janelle On Sunday, August 24 at 5:44 pm
my goodness this looks so delicious. YUMMY!!!
CaliforniaGrammy On Sunday, August 24 at 5:46 pm
Lawsy mercy indeed, that looks like a keeper recipe to me!
Mandy On Sunday, August 24 at 5:49 pm
You had me at "cookbook" when you typed it the other day.
I can't wait for details.
Suz On Sunday, August 24 at 5:49 pm
Can't wait to try it…although the addition of milk is…ummm…interesting!
Adornments by Milani On Sunday, August 24 at 5:54 pm
We love black bean soup. This is a fancier version of my traditional soup and it looks sooo much yummier. Thanks to Liz for creating this and to you, Ree, for making it. By the way, have you tried middle eastern cucumbers? There are no seeds inside to scrape.
Anonymous On Sunday, August 24 at 5:57 pm
Excuse me while I slop up my drool from the corner of my mouth.
Deb On Sunday, August 24 at 5:59 pm
We are such black bean fans that I will definetely make this one…once the weather cools down a spell. Thanks to Fay, it has been unusually cooler than it is supposed to be around these parts
Fig On Sunday, August 24 at 6:00 pm
I think this looks DELISH. I'm going to try it soon!
martina On Sunday, August 24 at 6:02 pm
PW, when you are done evaluating the contest recipes would you please post printable versions of them? Yum that soup looks good.
Laura On Sunday, August 24 at 6:09 pm
I am going to have to pass on this one. Milk in black bean soup, topped with yougurt and cucumbers does not sound good. I can see why it made the finals with all 3 types of dairy though.
However, I will be giving the cheese muffins a try
Bibliohistoria On Sunday, August 24 at 6:10 pm
The Liqiud Smokes sounds dangerous.
Wikipedia says it may be a carcinogenic.
Mechelle On Sunday, August 24 at 6:10 pm
hhhmm sounds good , but it doesn't really scream dairy to me. ( but I am biased, I really like my soup lol)
I am gonna give it a try in a month or so when the weather cools , with some Jalepeno cornread I think!
Sally On Sunday, August 24 at 6:14 pm
I like black beans; I like chowder. However, I'm going to have to pass on this one. The combination of black beans, those spices and milk just isn't appealing at all. Sorry…
Debbie On Sunday, August 24 at 6:16 pm
Liz, this looks amazing – black beans are my FAVORITE!
GOOD LUCK to you!
KP On Sunday, August 24 at 6:21 pm
I'm not normally a fan of Black Beans, but I absolutely love all of the other ingredients and this looks & sounds wonderful!
Thanks, Liz & P Dub!
Jeanie On Sunday, August 24 at 6:26 pm
Like so many others, I don't know about this one. I kinda like black beans but I don't know…
The cuke, cilantro, yogurt stuff though, YUM!!!
carson On Sunday, August 24 at 6:28 pm
What spice are you?
I took the test and it told me I was cilantro.
"You are cilantro. The bad news is that there are some people who can't stand you. The good news is that most people love you more than anything else in the world. You are distinct, unusual, fresh, and very controversial. And you wouldn't have it any other way."
I guess it's better to be cilantro than boring old parsley.
Susan On Sunday, August 24 at 6:29 pm
No thank you–but I'll try the muffins!!
Renee On Sunday, August 24 at 6:29 pm
Oh dear lord, I think I need a cigarette after looking at that food porn.
krg On Sunday, August 24 at 6:34 pm
anyway, he is willing to try anuy of your recipies. he is a machno man. or a marlboro man or an alpha male. whatever.
krg On Sunday, August 24 at 6:37 pm
let me respell.
willing to try any of your recipies. he is a macho man or a marlboro man or an alpha male or whatevever.
joywalker On Sunday, August 24 at 6:38 pm
Ok Ree: I was having a pout because none of my wonderful recipes made your finals–but after seeing the first two I will defer to your judgement. Keep up the good work and I will keep making your recipes.
Heidi On Sunday, August 24 at 6:45 pm
Wow, that's some recipe! I think it's a little too complicated and not quite my taste, but it looks beautiful.
tdog On Sunday, August 24 at 6:47 pm
You had me at black beans, but lost me at the ham hock. What the HECK is a HOCK? Sorry, I'm a vegetarian! Is it a foot?
Hat Chick On Sunday, August 24 at 6:47 pm
Looks fantastic. Can't wait to try it! p.s. Love the china. What's the pattern?
deb On Sunday, August 24 at 6:53 pm
This sounds AMAZING! I'm going to try a vegetarian version, with no ham hock, and vegetable stock instead of the chicken stock. I'll report back with my results. I'm sure it won't be quite as tasty without the "hock & stock," but I still can't wait to try this. Thank you so much, Pioneer Woman and Liz!
Tammy On Sunday, August 24 at 6:56 pm
Yummmm…..I definately need to stash this recipe for those cold winter nights.
bg On Sunday, August 24 at 6:59 pm
My question is does the milk and beans togather give you so much gas you could be considered a GREEN source of energy? It sounds delishious.
Pat On Sunday, August 24 at 7:01 pm
I'm sure I would love this. I may try it once the weather gets cooler, but I'm not sure who I'll get to eat it with me. My kids claim to not like beans…I don't understand it.
delphine On Sunday, August 24 at 7:02 pm
Ree this recipie is just downright healthy, only 2 tablespoons of butter?! Don't worry, I won't tell MM
Approximately how much soup would you say this makes? Seems like a lot but I guess those cowboys eat alot
tishy On Sunday, August 24 at 7:13 pm
Yummy. I think this one my family will try except for the cucumber relish. Some of my men are picky. I think I could get some of them to taste it with sour cream. The other half I may be able to get them to try it with salsa relish
Julie in WA On Sunday, August 24 at 7:19 pm
As a former vegetarian with LOTS of experience in cooking dried beans, I would suggest omitting the salt until the very end. (Try to use unsalted broth as well.)
Salt tends to keep the beans from cooking all the way. If the beans are just a bit crunchy yet, the body has a hard time digesting them, and the result is usually (pardon me) gas. Yep, leave the salt out until the end.
Erasue On Sunday, August 24 at 7:22 pm
Ooooooooohhhh! I can NOT WAIT for it to get cold here in Texas (um, will it ever get cold here?) because this sounds soooo gooood! Especially on a cold day/night with Ree's cornbread recipe! Us Dairy Lovers really appreciate, well, Dairy! Thanks Liz for passing this one on!
Laura On Sunday, August 24 at 7:25 pm
oh my…I see why this is a finalist! I can't wait to make this pot of goodness!
