Zane Is Still In Pain, Joe's Travel Schedule + More – April 18 FBHW Show Recap
Hour 1
We started the morning talking about the most recent trailer for the movie Cowboys vs. Aliens. Zane, after seeing the extended trailer, cannot wait to see it! Mickey Rourke called a movie he made that is coming out soon "terrible" while being interviewed last week. He's already trying to backpedal on that. In another similar foot-in-mouth situation, a Philadelphia Phillies pitcher's wife said at a charity event that she hates the fans in Philadelphia because they won't stop bothering them. They don't plan to stay in Philly in the offseason anymore. We're pretty sure that Phillies fans won't appreciate that. A company that manufactures a spray that helps guys stay aroused during sex has named the spray Die Hard. Sears, who sells Die Hard batteries, has a problem with this obviously and wants them to pay up and change the name. Zane met the guy that replaced him as the new "Poorboy" on the Joe and The Poorboy show this weekend. He tried to tell the guy to stop being an anonymous tool and demand that his real name be used.
Hour 2
Zane had another weekend of terrible abdominal pain. He went to the doctor for a physical and they're still not really sure what is causing it. Last Friday, we talked to a guy named Kevin in Albany that was planning to travel to Vegas this weekend to confront the girl he loves and tell her his true feelings. We got an amazing call that told us that this reminded him of the movie Pay it Forward, because that also took place in Las Vegas. We talked about some other movies that this is similar to like Casino, Oceans 11, and Leaving Las Vegas. Ha! Gary Busey was fired from The Apprentice in the last episode. This bummed us out because we won't get any more great incoherent rants from him.
Hour 3
We talked about how there were tornadoes pretty much everywhere this last weekend. A couple hundred touched down in the last few days! After we replayed a portion of the Black Forum from Friday's show, an angry listener called in pissed because we never do a white forum. This was shot down immediately by the five white guys on the show, aka the DAILY WHITE FORUM. We finally got Kevin from Albany on the phone to find out what happened after he flew out to Las Vegas on Friday last week. He managed to find her and they had quite an interaction! Listen to the whole story on the podcast.
Hour 4
We had a bit of cuteness overload this morning. Go to the Video Reel to check out two adorable videos, one of a penguin and one of a polar bear, then vote on the web poll to let us know which one you think is more adorable. You'll watch them over and over again today, guaranteed. In the first FBHW Report, we talked about Nick Cage being arrested this weekend for being drunk and making a scene in front of an apartment he thought was his. It wasn't. It sucks when marriages and relationships don't work out as planned. Some couples are grown up enough to move on in a mature way. Others, however, go cuckoo and do what a woman we talked about this morning did. Let's just say she decided to redecorate her recent ex's place in an alternative way.
Hour 5
Producer Joe's travel schedule is booked pretty solid over the next two weeks. He'll be in Colorado Springs this Wednesday through Sunday, home for 24 hours, then he and Steve leave for London next Monday after the show! Needless to say, it's going to be a crazy few weeks. We talked about the London trip and while we were trying to figure out the ins and outs of Parliament, Alan from Scotland called in to give us some info and tell us how much he loves the show. He, self admittedly, sounded like a combination of Fat Bastard from Austin Powers and Shrek. Talk to you again Tuesday morning!

If you have an Android phone you may at some point want to hard reset, or completely wipe out the phone to start from scratch.
Why would you want to reset? Well, you may want to start again with a fresh install or are having a problem with an installed app. You may have bought the phone from someone or all selling it. Sometimes it's just nice to start all over.
When I got this LG Eve phone for review it had already been used by another writer who didn't bother to (or didn't know how to) reset the phone. As a result, I could have read her email, chatted with her friend, used her twitter account and so much more. Doh! Well, I didn't do any of that, just set out to find out how to reset it to start fresh.
Those that have been Windows Mobile users may be looking for some kind of hardware key combination to hard reset the device, but it's actually built into the OS. It's just a little bit buried and took me a bit to find it.
Steps to hard reset Android:
1. Go to "Setting".
2. Select "SD card & phone storage".
3. Select "Factory data reset" which should be the last option.
4. Press the "Reset Phone" button.
Now you just wait for the phone to restart and you are all set to go. Ta da!
BTW, in case there is any confusion about this; this will wipe out everything from your phone. You should back up all information before going ahead with this. It won't wipe out the information you have on services such as Gmail, or Google Calendar, contacts and such. As soon as you log in with your freshly reset phone you will have all your information back on your phone.
Post any questions in the comments here and we will help you out.

Women and Leadership
Most Americans say women are every bit as capable of being good leaders as men, whether in political offices or in corporate boardrooms. So why, then, are they underrepresented in top jobs?
For retailers, the holidays mean a hiring binge — and then a purge
Retail is one of the more seasonally variable sectors of the U.S. economy, but much of the holiday hiring surge is concentrated in just a handful of categories.
More and more Americans are outside the labor force entirely. Who are they?
More than 92 million Americans last month were considered outside the labor force entirely. While most of them are older, the biggest increase has been among teens and young adults.
Making more than minimum wage, but less than $10.10 an hour
Last year an estimated 20.6 million people — 30% of all hourly, non-self-employed workers aged 18 and older in the U.S. — earned above the applicable minimum wage in their state but less than the proposed $10.10/hour minimum.
For most workers, real wages have barely budged for decades
For most U.S. workers, inflation-adjusted wages have been flat or falling for decades, regardless of whether the economy has been adding or subtracting jobs. The $4.03-an-hour rate recorded in January 1973 has the same purchasing power as $22.41 would today.
How's the job market? Ups, downs of public sentiment mirror official stats
Americans have a good general sense of the relative strength of the job market, even if they're fuzzy on specifics such as the unemployment rate.
Hispanics only group to see its poverty rate decline and incomes rise
Hispanics are the only major racial or ethnic group to see a statistically significant decline in its poverty rate, according to 2013 Census Bureau figures released this week
Americans have dim view of trade's impact on jobs and wages
While 68% of Americans say trade is good for the country, they hold starkly different views than people in other countries around the world when it comes to the supposed benefits of international commerce: job creation and higher wages.
Mixed Views on Trade, Foreign Investment
Developing countries provide the strongest support for international trade and foreign investment, while people in many advanced economies are skeptical. Americans are among the least likely to hold a positive view of the impact of trade on jobs and wages.
56% of Americans Believe They Are 'Falling Behind' Financially
Public views of the job market have improved modestly, but overall economic optimism remains limited. Many say their incomes are falling behind the cost of living and 45% have experienced a serious financial hardship.

Step 3: Fold the paper on the 4 1/4 inch scored line and slip the oval punch in halfway and punch out the center.
Step 4: Adhere the blue and white striped band to the front of the container - just above the fold line at the bottom.
Step 5: Fold the ends of the paper on the scored lines and adhere together. You will have a 3-sided figure.
Step 6: Fill your cellophane bags with treats and slip the bag in the side of the pink sleeve, bringing the top of the bag out of the top of the sleeve. Tie the cellophane bag closed with the jute, and trim the top of the bag.

Pantech Perception for Verizon is updated to Android 4.1.2
1 Comments
1. F14Tomcat (Posts: 4; Member since: 17 Apr 2013)
The update installed with no issues, and the phone is running fine. There are a couple of subtle display changes, such as the battery charge monitor icon now features a vertical battery and not a horizontal battery. It seems that a few of my alert settings got reset to their default (vibrate instead of off). And I received update notifications for around 15-20 of the pre-installed apps. Since I only use one or two of those apps, that is all I allowed to update (I did allow the update of all of the apps I have downloaded myself though).
So...so far, so good! And I'm glad to see Verizon providing the update after only 2 months. I'd read articles and user comments about promised "upcoming Verizon updates" that took 10-12 months or more to arrive.

International Financial Volatility and Commodity Exports: Evidence from the Thai Agricultural Sector
Using 1981--2006 data from the Bank of Thailand, I estimate the effect of four measures of real exchange rate volatility on Thai exports of five key agricultural commodities, controlling for both the level of the real exchange rate and foreign incomes. Estimates of the effect of volatility on export volume are generally negative and often significant, lending support to a range of theoretical models that predict such an effect. No such relationship exists between lagged values of exchange rate volatility and agricultural production. The range of results obtained using various measures of volatility suggests caution in comparing studies using different measures. Copyright 2010, Oxford University Press.

Ty's Take: Ready or not, here postseason comes
It often is said that all good things must come to an end. The spring sports season is one of those.
Believe it or not, this week officially marks the beginning of the postseason, as track and field and girls tennis both kick off their conference tournaments.
The remaining sports kick off their conference and state tournaments sometime during the next four weeks.
So here's the Pioneer's tournament-time rundown, as well as some last-minute West Fargo sports updates.
Track and Field
The West Fargo boys and girls track and field squads have held their own all season and, come Thursday, should be ready to perform during the East Region tournament in Grand Forks.
The boys will be attempting to end a runner-up streak with a first-place finish, while the girls are hoping to keep their tournament title for a second-straight year.
Both are riding momentum from two meets last week. The girls and boys teams finished second during the Fargo Rotary Invitational on Monday, and first at the Packer Relays on Saturday. In fact, the Packers combined for a total of 24 first-place finishes Saturday.
With a time of 44.19 seconds, Ellie Grooters broke her own Fargo Rotary Meet 300-meter hurdle record of 44.80 seconds set last year. She was named Outstanding Female Athlete after collecting 28 points, which included first-place finishes in the 100-meter hurdles and 1,600 relay, and a second-place finish in the 200-meter run. Grooters stands a good chance to defend her 100- and 300-meter hurdle titles at the state tournament.
The 3,200 relay team also could repeat as champions. Though comprised of different runners, the Packers' relay team took first place at each meet last week. The team consisting of Christine Baltezore, Keana Karnopp, Brooke Grooters, and Alissa Mears finished in 9:56.97 at the rotary, while Jessica Rosenau, Karnopp, Kaitlyn Stoppler and Brooke Grooters ran it in 9:45.25 at the Packer Relays. Baltezore and Mears both were part of the state-champion team last season, as was Ellie Grooters.
On the field side, Christina Bruenjes has been strong. The freshman finished second in the long jump and triple jump at the Fargo Rotary, but took first in the events during the Packer Relays after making leaps of 17 feet, 4 inches, and 36-05, respectively.
On the boys side, Jamison Gehrig has been tearing up the track. The senior took first in the 3,200-meters at both meets last week, finishing in 10:03.28 and 10:04.03. He also placed first in the 1,600 at the Packer Relays, and ran a leg with the second-place 3,200 relay team, which included Jake Kroke, Tony Schulz and Victor Soro, at Fargo.
Senior Levi Bachmeier continued to shine in the pole fault, clearing 13-06 in West Fargo for a first place.
The Packers get one more shot at a regular-season meet on Monday during the Last-Chance Invitational at West Fargo, which starts at 4 p.m. Then Saturday they head to the Eastern Dakota Conference Championship in Wahpeton for a 12:30 p.m. start.
Track and Field's state tournament is May 28-29 in Bismarck.
Though the North Dakota state softball tournament isn't until June 3, that's no reason to get soft as the regular season winds down.
And West Fargo certainly has not.
The Packers won all their games last week, which included a 5-1 thumping over Fargo Shanley, as well as two nonconference games.
Kacie Johnson struck out six batters for a complete-game win over the Deacons on Friday. Madi Anderson led the Packers (19-2) at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a run.
During nonconference play Saturday, the Packers finished off East Grand Forks Sacred Heart in just five innings after running up the scoreboard 10-0. Later, West Fargo defeated Thief River Falls 11-5 behind the leadership of Johnson, who went 2-for-3 at the plate and struck out eight batters for the win.
The Packers faced Fargo North on Tuesday, but results were not in by press time. They play again Thursday, hosting Fargo South at 6:30 p.m. for their final conference game of the season. The Packers then head north to Warroad on Saturday for their last regular-season game of the year.
West Fargo will be attempting to defend its 13th straight state title. This year's state tournament is June 3-5 in Minot.
Girls soccer
After a somewhat sketchy start, the West Fargo girls soccer team has found its stride and has not suffered a loss in the past seven games.
Last Friday, the Packers (3-3-2, 4-3-6) ended in a scoreless tie with Grand Forks Red River. Then on Saturday during an East/West Crossover, the Packers tied Bismarck St. Mary's 2-2 before blanking Mandan 2-0. Scoring for West Fargo during the week were Tia Lopez, Lauren Johnson and Andrea Muller, who found the net twice.
West Fargo still has plenty of time to climb the ranks until the state tournament June 3-5 in Jamestown. Their latest chance came Tuesday against Fargo South, but results were not in by press time. They play again Thursday, hosting Devils Lake at 7 p.m..
The Packers final two regular-season games are May 25, against Shanley, and May 28, at Devils Lake.
Boys golf
After a stellar start to the season, the West Fargo boys golf team has slipped a bit.
The Packers placed fourth last Monday at the Red River Invitational, in what coach Chuck Gad called "the poorest effort of the season." Of West Fargo's five golfers in the meet, only Logan Palmer's 75 was good enough for a Top-10 spot.
They finished lower yet at Thursday's Ottertail Invitational in Fergus Falls, coming in with a team score of 322 and a sixth-place finish. Lucky for West Fargo, it was a nonconference match, so results do not count against their EDC ranking. The Packers currently sit second behind Fargo South, with only four points separating them.
Strong finishes are critical during the next few weeks. The most recent chance for a rebound was Monday during the Fargo Shanley Invitational at Fargo Country Club, but results were not in when this edition of the Pioneer went to press. Their next conference meet isn't until May 26, at the Wahpeton Invitational, so they have ample time to work out the kinks at four nonconference meets until then. Their next ones are at 11 a.m. Friday and Saturday in Detroit Lakes.
Girls Tennis
The Packers girls tennis team currently sits third in the EDC standings and 2.5 games behind conference leaders Grand Forks Red River.
West Fargo had two chances to close the gap last week, but lost a close match to Fargo South 5-4 on Monday. The Packers blanked Valley City 9-0 on Friday.
Their final regular-season match was Tuesday at Wahpeton, but results were not in by press time. West Fargo then heads to the EDC tournament in Grand Forks on May 20-21, where it hopes to improve on its third-place finish from last season.
This year's state tournament is May 27-29 in Grand Forks.

AN intrepid charity fundraiser who has trekked along the Great Wall of China, through the Grand Canyon and crossed the Sahara Desert is tackling another daunting challenge.
Helen Crowther, aged 41, from Runcorn, is training to cope with extreme cold, basic living condition, and altitude sickness, as she climbs 5,545 metres to Everest base camp in the Himalayas.
She has helped 133 volunteers to raise £130,000 for local terminally ill, disabled and disadvantaged children to enjoy a once in a lifetime holiday at The Children's Adventure Farm, where she works as a fundraiser and press officer.
Helen, of Clarence Street, said: "Taking yourself out of your comfort zone, and going somewhere so alien and foreign is a life changing experience.
"Putting yourself through such difficult challenges makes you realise you can do anything.
"It's a huge boost to your confidence and gives you a thirst for more."
So far, 23 trekkers have signed up for the adventure, from October 4-21, which includes a 13 day trek.
There are two places left and volunteers are set to raise almost £40,000 for the charity.
They will follow in the footsteps of famous explorers as local guides and sherpas lead the way.
Helen added: "You meet some amazing people and make friends for life.
"We are helping to give children a holiday they wouldn't otherwise enjoy.
"They gain confidence, make new friends and achieve things they thought they never could.
"It's a lovely sense of freedom for them as they make great holiday memories."
Each participant must raise a minimum of £2,995.
For further information about the trek, call 01565 830053 or visit caft.co.uk/challenge/everest-base-camp

The 2013 Festival will feature Full-Length Plays by Topher Payne (Artist of the Year, Best of Atlanta 2012), Jason Gray Platt (Helen Hayes Nominee for Crown of Shadows, Round House Theatre) and Joe Waechter (Hangar Theater Playwright-in-Residence, 2012). Three extraordinary Washington directors, Rick Hammerly (Artistic Director, Factory 449), Lee Liebeskind (Producing Director, The Inkwell Theatre) and DC newcomer Linda Lombardi will helm the three Full-Length Plays.
The Artistic Blind Date program unites nine artists of varying disciplines to create three dynamic, new interdisciplinary works, presented in the intimate Source Rehearsal Room. Here audiences can get an up-close look at the creative process as the Artistic Blind Date teams present their work and engage audiences in discussions about their creative process following each presentation.
The Festival continues its strong commitment to the development and production of new work by hosting its third annual Workshop Weekend March 22-24, 2013. During the three-day workshop, playwrights, dramaturgs, actors and designers come together to further develop the three Full-Length Plays that will have their premieres this June.
This year, the Festival will also partner with Inkwell Theatre who will assist in the development process for Lake Untersee—a play previously workshopped by Inkwell. The Festival will also partner with Young Playwrights' Theater to host their one-night only Young Playwrights' Workshop performance and provide insider theatre experiences for their students.
This year, the Festival pioneers a Design Internship Program. Undergraduate designers will assist and receive mentorship from professionals set, costume, sound, light and prop designers as they bring to life three Full-Length Plays.
Source Festival is produced by Jenny McConnell Frederick with Associate Producer Jess Jung, Literary Manager James Hesla and Dramaturgs Kathryn Coughlin, Emily Edmond and Aaron Yost.
Quickly becoming a Washington staple, Source Festival is a three-week annual performing arts festival dedicated to showcasing new work from across the nation and launching performing arts careers. Emily Schwend's play Splinters, which premiered at the 2010 Source Festival, was selected as one of six finalists for the American Theatre Critic Association's 2011 Steinberg Award. Collapsing Silence, an Artistic Blind Date that premiered at the 2011 Festival, has inspired the launch of Washington's new interdisciplinary arts organization Force/Collision.

wikiHow to Bake a Steak
Tough steaks have great flavor, so baking them is a great way to enjoy cheaper cuts of meat that are tender and tasty. This recipe includes vegetables, but you can bake the steak alone, and either serve it hot or freeze it for later use.
- Servings: 2 to 4
- Prep time: 30, minutes
- Cook time: 60 minutes
- 2 lbs. (1 kg) chuck, shank, round or flank steak
- 1 can cream of mushroom or cream of potato soup
- 6 medium carrots, chopped
- 3 medium potatoes, quartered
- 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 tsp. (4.7 g) garlic powder
- 1 tsp. (4.7 g) black pepper
- 1 tsp. (4.7 g) salt
1Wash the steak under running water.
2Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
3Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
4Place the steak in a large cast iron Dutch oven or a large metal or glass roasting pan.
5Arrange the onions, carrots and potatoes around the meat.
6Stir the spices into the cream soup. (You can also mix the spices together and sprinkle them directly onto the steak before you pour the soup over the meat and vegetables.)
7Pour the soup mixture over the meat and the vegetables.
8Cover the Dutch oven or roasting pan tightly. If your pan does not have a tight-fitting lid, cover it tightly with aluminum foil instead.
9Bake for 1 hour.
10Remove the pan from the oven.
11Scoop the vegetables and sauce into a serving bowl.
12Put the steak on a cutting board. Use two large spoons to lift the steak; it will be very tender, so piercing it with a fork may cause it to fall apart while you are transferring it to a cutting board.
13Cut the steak against the grain into serving size slices.
14Arrange the steak pieces and vegetables on serving plates.

If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- You can marinade the steak ahead of time if you like, but the soup and the baking time ensure that the meat will turn out tender and juicy.
- Add a little flour or cornstarch to the meat juices and soup to make gravy. The soup mixture will be somewhat thick, so you don't need too much of a thickening agent. After you have removed the vegetables and the steak, heat the juices and soup in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in a few pinches of cornstarch or flour and continue stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Spoon the gravy over the steak before serving.
- According to the Mayo Clinic, Eye of Round, top round and bottom round are among the leanest cuts of steak you can buy.[1]
- Tough cuts of steak won't turn out tender if you don't tightly cover them while they bake, and that includes the use of foil. Don't make a tent with the foil; tuck it in tightly underneath the rim of your roasting pan.
Things You'll Need
- Covered cast iron skillet or roasting pan with a lid
- Aluminum foil (optional)
- Paper towels

The 'Twilight' beauty is in talks to play a bad girl in the comedy that will see Cyrus as Demi Moore's daughter.
Ashley Greene is about to team up with Miley Cyrus in a new movie. The 23-year-old star is currently in negotiations to play a high school bad girl in "LOL: Laughing Out Loud" where the Disney cutie has been slated to take the lead role, The Hollywood Reporter claims.
In addition to Greene, Thomas Jane is also in talks to join the remake of the French film of the same title. The star of TV series "Hung" is said to be offered a role of Cyrus' on-screen father. Demi Moore has been previously reported to be the mother of singer/actress' character.
Also recruited to join the cast ensemble of the film are Ashley Hinshaw, George Finn and Douglas Booth. Hinshaw will portray Cyrus' best friend, Finn will be seen as Cyrus' former lover while Booth is tapped as Cyrus' love interest.
The story itself will follow a 15-year-old girl who, after dumped by her more sexually experienced boyfriend, sets her sights on his best friend. At the same time, her 40-year-old divorcee mother is struggling to move on with her life. The fraught relationship between mother and daughter provides the film with its narrative backbone, along with the younger generation's obsession with instant messaging.
Lisa Azuelos-Alessandrin, who directed the original version, will take the same duty for the new project. She additionally writes the screenplay. Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher join forces to produce the flick, which is tentatively scheduled for 2011 release.

When Michelle Lei and her sister Judy took up yoga five years ago, they became obsessed. Not only did they make the practice part of their daily life, but they wanted to start a business creating yoga wear.
With Ms. Lei's six years of experience as a sourcing manufacturing manager for Nike Pacific Rim and International MBA from the Sauder School of Business, and her sister's artistic flair as a fashion designer, they were well-equipped to set up Light Activewear, which designs and sells spandex garments to more than 60 fitness centres and yoga studios across Canada and the U.S.
But when they decided to establish a competitive edge by introducing a sustainable product line made of recycled polyester materials, the sisters hit a snag.
"The cost of sustainable raw materials is much higher compared to regular materials, which pushes up manufacturing prices," says Ms. Lei. "When we showed our current retailers samples of our sustainable line We Care, they declined on the grounds that they were too expensive, fearing that they wouldn't get a fast enough turnaround from their customers."
In 2009, the Lei sisters founded Light Activewear in Vancouver. Michelle leveraged her contacts from her previous role at Nike in Shanghai to source material manufacturers in China and garment makers in Taiwan, while Judy drew on her graphic and fashion design background to design the clothes in a functional, yet fashion-forward style.
"From the very start, we wanted to use solely sustainable materials for our products," says Michelle. "But while large brands like Nike and Lululemon can afford to do this, the startup cost for these materials compared to regular, non-sustainable cloth is drastically higher."
Since the retail outlets they worked with did not show interest in the more expensive option, the Lei sisters were forced to put their We Care line on the back burner.
"We just couldn't risk carrying at least $10,000 worth of inventory sitting in our warehouse, without being able to sell it," explains Michelle.
Light Activewear needed to find buyers for their We Care line or they risked losing their competitive edge.
Michelle brainstormed for a solution. "During my IMBA studies in Shanghai, I gained an invaluable overall knowledge of business management," she recalls. "Even though I'd worked in several countries across Asia with Nike, and had experience in sourcing and manufacturing, it was Sauder that encouraged me to step back, look at problems from different angles and come up with creative solutions."
Her research led her to the international crowd-funding website, Indiegogo which allows entrepreneurs to raise money for their ventures.
Cutting out the retail middleman, Ms. Lei and her sister went straight to consumers. They created an Indiegogo campaign for their We Care line, asking people to pay for advanced orders of the sustainable yoga outfits. "In April 2013, we set a fixed goal of $10,000. The idea was that if we didn't reach it within two months, we would give everyone their money back," she explains.
The Lei sisters contacted everyone they knew to help fund their campaign. "We sent thousands of customized e-mails, as well as phone calls and text messages to persuade people to buy our products," says Michelle. "We also added constant updates to our Indiegogo campaign page, in the form of product photos and 'behind-the-scenes' stories."
In a show of support, their close friends helped to promote the We Care line, pulling in even more customers from different markets.
Within their time limit, the Lei sisters exceeded their crowdfund goal by 120 per cent and raised $12,125. All three of their proposed garments for We Care are going into production and will be distributed to their supporters by November 2013.
Once they have built up a sufficiently large network, the sisters plan to target Asia as their next big market.
"This time we won't be put off by the status quo," says Michelle. "Our experience with online crowd-funding has definitely taught me to innovate to get ahead."
Jeff Kroeker is a lecturer in the accounting division at the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia.
This is the latest in a regular series of case studies by a rotating group of business professors from across the country. They appear every Friday on the Report on Small Business website.

Serve hot with roasted red-pepper dip.

Passion Strawberry Fruit Leather - Dehydrator Roll-Ups
Recipe by Sandi From CA
Once you know how to plug your dehydrator in, you're limited only by your imagination regarding how many different "recipes" you can come up with for fruit leather. These simple snacks are healthy and often more convenient to eat than fresh fruit. I ziplock a batch and take it with me. Either pureed apples or applesauce makes a great inexpensive texturizer with a rather mild flavor, so I often flesh out whatever the main fruit flavor is with it. This time it's strawberries! (My friend Freya arrived on my doorstep last weekend with a HUUUUGE box of the most beautiful berries I've ever seen, so rather than to lose the last of them to age, I've gone the dehydrating route.)
Top Review by free-free
This is SOOoo berry, berry good... :) I had the strawberries and some nice apples...to pretend i had passion-fruit syrup i threw in some pineapple and a couple of spoonfuls of honey...I am still learning about dehydrating stuff and have not yet gotten the fruit roll-up sheets so i pour my puree on parchment...this time it was really runny compared to other things I've attempted (and i was a little scared I had mucked it up...it was kinda dripping out all over on me (the proper sheets would prevent this)... BUT it turned out the best yet as far as finished texture dried and so in-cred-do- yummy...I also love Sandi's intro where she said you are only limited by your imagination(ain't that the truth)...be fearless and try new things and don't be afraid of a little mess and muck!!! - you may come up with a gem!!! These roll-ups are DEVINE!!! :)
See Discussion:2 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups washed cored and roughly chopped fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons passionfruit syrup (juice or flavoring)
- 3⁄4 cup applesauce (I use non-sweetened)
- nonstick cooking spray
Directions See How It's Made
- Purée chopped strawberries with the applesauce and passionfruit syrup.
- Spray the fruit leather sheet of your dehydrator (the one without holes) with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour the puréed fruit carefully into the tray set into the bottom section of your dehydrator. Dehydrate at full power for up to 8 hours, depending on the power of your machine, checking periodically toward the end of that time to see that there aren't any wet or sticky spots.
- When done, cool for a couple of minutes and carefully slide a butter knife or thin spatula under the leather.
- Cut into 2-4 pieces and roll into cylinders. Store in zip lock baggies.

Solé Spa Wellness Center
When Giovanni and Diana Manzano founded Solé Spa Wellness Center in 2007, they chose to focus on services that rejuvenated their clients physically as well as emotionally. They also chose to honor Giovanni's mother—Solé Manzano, a victim of breast cancer—by gracing the spa with her name. The haven of relaxation they've built blends contemporary touches with Asian-themed décor. Instead of relying on a throng of fireflies, the studio creates a warm atmosphere by filling rooms with earthy tones and the calming glow emanating from hanging lights.
Although waxing is their specialty, the aestheticians' body treatments—including a full-body sugar glow with imported sugar cane, tropical nut oils, and fruit enzymes—also helped to earn the spa a place on Jacksonville Magazine's Best of Jacksonville list in 2011, 2012, as well as best day spa of 2013 by Void Magazine. Manually applied airbrush tans imbue skin with a rich, sun-kissed hue that can last as long as seven days, much like a citywide game of hide-and-seek. Facials similarly make skin glow by slathering cheekbones with vitamin-rich salves or seaweed masks. During massages, therapists can employ a number of modalities, customizing every treatment to address clients' needs with a combination of Swedish, deep tissue, or reflexology techniques.

wonderful work.
I don't think it's beautiful. I think it's kind of disgusting and painful but It's very original, and skilfully produced
and it's been done on a computer !
that's not a drawing !
Thanks for the comments. Just for the record Thomas, it is a drawing. I do not use computers in my artwork. I have been producing work long before photoshop etc existed.
yeah, awesome pencil drawing!!

A couple of ill-famed television characters on NBC's Smash are supposed to leave the show for good at some point into season two and we are told it's going to be quite the sendoff with both characters getting what's coming to them. Karen's cheating fiancée Dev (Raza Jaffrey) and Eileen's devious assistant Ellis (Jaime Cepero) won't be regulars in Smash's 2nd season, sources say with each only appearing enough to wrap up their storylines then be written off.. The new showrunner Josh Safran apparently decided to listen to Smash's fans and he discovered that neither character was well liked so they will be written off in the show's new-and-improved second season.
According to the poll Dev annoyed fans by cheating on Katharine McPhee's character by sleeping with Ivy, while Ellis infuriated viewers throughout season with his overeager nefarious scheming. Fans have been pretty outspoken that the second season would be better off without either Ellis or Dev. The other characters that fans wanted off the show and thus far NBC hasn't chosen to remove from the show were Julia, her husband Frank and son Leo. Those roles are played by Debra Messing, Brian d'Arcy James and Emory Cohen.
NBC plans to return Smash in midseason, in order to give the new showrunner time to creatively polish the series and have given him the authority to let any of the shows actors or actors go if they do not fit his vision for the show.

A new green wave?
Islamic governance of modern nation-states is now at an experimental crossroads. Since the Iranian revolution, and the subsequent experimentation of an Islamic republic of governance, we are now facing the changing nature of newer and more definitive models of modern governance of Islamic populations, organised as nation-states. Egypt, in their post-revolution against feudalism, is the latest experiment in Islamic forms of modern democratic governance.

Dehradun/Chamoli/Tehri (Uttarakhand), June 20 (ANI): Army and military helicopters continued to lead rescue operations in flood-hit areas of Uttarakhand on Thursday, as they provided emergency supplies and evacuated stranded tourists and pilgrims.
More than hundred people have been killed, and air force helicopters have air dropped commandos to help rescue some of the tens of thousands of people unable to move because of the floods.
Tourists and pilgrims in Uttarkashi are facing a harrowing time as road connectivity has been disrupted due to landslides following incessant rains.
However, the authorities are working round the clock to clear the debris and vehicles carrying the tourists were slowly cruising towards safer locations.
Deputy Inspector General of Police, Dehradun Range, Sanjay Gunjiyal, said: "Two to three officials, including me are being sent to the areas which have been identified, and the situation over there is grim and where extra effort is required."
"We are being sent to improve the situation, to provide them with basic amenities and so that the stranded people can be evacuated as soon as possible. The rest of the situations have been carefully studied and we are trying to rescue those who are in need of an immediate relief," he added.
The district had set up 32 camps to provide food and water for about 5,000 pilgrims and tourists caught by the floods while visiting local holy sites. The Ganges is sacred to Hindus.
The pilgrims were evacuated on foot from mountain tops in areas near Joshimath in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand on Wednesday (June 19). The rescued pilgrims were rushed to the Indian army's logistics base camps at Joshimath.
Uttarkhand's Agriculture Minister Harak Singh Rawat said: "We are making necessary arrangements for the stranded tourists so that they can be sent to Haridwar and Delhi free of cost."
Rakesh Sharma, who is trying to contribute his bit to the rescue effort, said that at least 50 cars have been sent to Rishikesh to bring back some of the stranded people.
He also said that a complaint has been sent or received by the district magistrate that drivers of some of these vehicles are heartlessly asking for exorbitant sums of cash to ferry the distressed survivors to safer places.
He also said that the weather is still bad in Dehradun.
So far, eleven helicopters have dropped food packages and at least 25000 food packages are ready for drops at the Jolly Grant Airport.
Subhash Kumar said people came by taxi and buses will be given free service to Haridwar or any other nearby place.
"I have personally visited some of these places. About 5000 people are still in Gauri Kund. Twenty-eight have been rescued from there. Air force helicopters are not able to land there. Our private helicopters landed there," Kumar said.
Raj Kumar Goyal said: "There are so many people who are yet to be rescued. The government is not doing anything."
Madhu Agarwal, a resident of Jaipur, said her son was still stuck in Uttarakhand, and added that another 23 kin were also in the vicinity.
"They are just waiting for the weather to clear down. They have not been provided with any kind of assistance," she claimed.
Delhi resident Ashwani Kumar said:"We are very worried as they are not saying anything."
Kanpur resident Krishna said he had talked to his stranded relatives last Saturday.
"The government is not doing anything. They have not even provided any kind of food to the people. What will the Prime Minister do by visiting these places. Their first priority is to save the people who are stuck there," Krishna added.
Rains, which were 48 percent above normal across India up until June 16, are expected to ease up in the next week, according to weather department officials.
The low-lying areas have been battered by torrential downpours, as several highways have been blocked.
The inclement weather coupled with inaccessibility has made relief and rescue operations next to impossible.
Floods due to pre-monsoon rains that arrived a week ahead of schedule have swollen India's longest river Ganges, causing major devastation.
The rainfall has been heavier than normal, but the weather office is sticking to its forecast for average rains during the entire four-month period.
The rains usually cover all of India by mid-July, but this year it happened on June 16, the earliest such occurrence on record, a senior official at the India Meteorological Department said.
A strong start to the monsoon aids farm output as about 55 percent of the nation's arable land is rain-fed. It can also help hold down inflation, a critical concern for the government, which is preparing for national elections in 2014. (ANI)

An Excellent 'Taster' of South America: Star Princess Cruise Review by ewlj
Overall Member Rating
An Excellent 'Taster' of South America
Destination: South America
Embarkation: Rio de Janeiro
YOU WILL NEED A VISA IF YOU'RE FROM USA/CANADA Let me start out by saying up front in case you are pondering this cruise that if you are from the USA or Canada, you will need a visa for Brazil. This is not made very obvious when you book this cruise. The visa is $130 per person and you either have to go to your local Brazilian embassy twice in person within 90 days of arriving in Brazil (Once to drop off paperwork and passports and once to pick up your passports containing the visa) OR you can use a visa service which will cost you approx More another $120 EACH on top of the $130 mentioned above. We decided to not use the service and drove 2 hours there and back (twice) to our local embassy.
MONEY We used US dollars in every port except Rio where we exchanged money into the local currency. Take low bills -- lots of $1s so you can pay for things without needing change.
PASSENGER DIVERSITY There were many different nationalities on board including North Americans, Brits, Russians, Argentines and Brazilians. (Amongst others). Be aware that most everything is announced in 3 languages, which takes time and some movies are played in Portuguese. Predominantly though, this is an English speaking cruise, so if you don't speak English, it may be frustrating as all the games, the bingo, etc. are in English. It was also apparent that the North Americans and Brits ate early whilst the South Americans ate late, which worked out quite well when it came to Anytime Dining!
ALLOW EXTRA TIME AT THE EMBARKATION DESTINATION (RIO) Unfortunately our baggage didn't catch up with us in Rio until our 3rd day there, which was an added stress, but we managed. We talked to a lot of people who either had baggage delays (or never received it at all) or almost didn't make the cruise due to bad weather on the East Coast.(Or boarded several days later). If you're planning this cruise in our (northern hemisphere) winter, definitely allow extra time and add at least 2-3 days on at the beginning in Rio. Many passengers also added extra time in Santiago or went to Machu Pichu after the cruise.
CONSIDER IGUAZU FALLS We would have liked to have done Iguazu Falls, but the Princess cruise tour was too expensive. We did talk to someone who did it independently for $800 ea, so it can be done a lot cheaper. I wish we would have done the Falls, having flown so far.
A BRIEF ENCOUNTER If you really want to see South America, this is not an ideal way to do it. The ports are very brief and the excursions do not allow much time at each stop. If this itinerary could be altered, I would suggest 2 nights in Buenos Aires and skip Montevideo. If I went back to S.A., I would do a land tour and see more of Brazil, Argentina and Chile. We felt this vacation was more about the cruise and the ship and less about the destinations.
THE SHIP EXPERIENCE The ship was the largest we'd been on and really was fabulous, however for us, it made us realize we like the slightly smaller ships better as you see the same people more often and there are less lines at the purser and excursion offices. (This ship didn't have enough staff to cope with the number of passengers at the purser and excursion desks and we waited in line anywhere from 15 mins to and hour and 10mins).
We mostly enjoyed activities like the pool, trivia, games, dance lessons, afternoon tea, Wii, walking the promenade, watching shows and bands/pianist.
We tried 'Anytime Dining' for the first time and enjoyed the varied amount of people we met and the flexibility of timing our dining.
What was disappointing is a lot of the shows were repeated twice (two shows a night on 2 different nights of the cruise, so a total of 4 repeats) to allow all the passengers to see the performances. We think the shows were ok/good, but we weren't **wowed** by most. Some of the dance shows are cheesy/old fashioned. I did feel sorry for the entertainers however, because most of the audience was pretty dead -- some people just don't have the energy to clap their hands!!!
The food was good, but I was not **wowed** by it as I have been on other cruises and spoke to others that felt the same.
The public areas were excellent. There's a nice coffee cafe on the bottom floor of the atrium where the coffees are well priced and the pastries/sandwiches are included. They also did British pub lunches once a week which made for some variety. We watched one movie in the lounge, but it seemed too cold for the 'Movies Under the Stars' (they did provide blankets). My one suggestion would be to make the entire ship smoke free.
PETTY CRIME DOES HAPPEN We learned of about half a dozen attempts at theft/muggings that happened to people on our ship, all in different ports. We read about it a lot before we went, and yes it does happen. One man had a gold chain ripped from his neck in Rio and was left bleeding, another couple had an attempted mugging in Beunos Aires by having 'bird poop' paint sprayed at them. Another woman was brought to the ground by 2 youths in Montevideo and wore a sling for the remainder of the trip for an injury. Be very careful. We did not wear any jewelry except for fake plain wedding rings and plastic digital watches. We wore money belts and took small amounts of cash. I wore a bag across my body.
AROUND THE HORN One aspect of this cruise that is exciting is that you go around the horn. For this, we went on deck and took lots of photos and video. They also give you a certificate to say you've gone around the horn. Later during the fjords, we were at dinner during the time we passed the glaciers, so we missed them unfortunately. The captain also had to skip one glacier entirely as we were running behind due to bad weather. The weather around the horn for our cruise was very smooth, although we encountered one *very rough* day a few days later during a storm which delayed our ship arriving at our final destination. Less

Cabin review:
We opted for an interior cabin as we don't spend much time in there. It was on par with rooms from other ships...it's small and the bathroom is even smaller, but it works for the two of us. It had a nice modern flat-screen TV and a hair dryer that wasn't one of those weird 'too hot to touch' cruise hair dryers. It was on the 14th floor, which we discovered we didn't like as much as being on much lower floors as it was so far to walk to the main goings on (we never take the elevator so we can get as much exercise as we can!) We probably would have benefitted from a window or balcony to see the fjords and glaciers, but we just went up on deck instead.
Port and Shore Excursions
We definitely could have spent another day in B.A. We did an excursion where we made brief stops at La Boca, the Recoleta Cemetery, drove city streets and a lengthy lunch/tango show. It was pouring with rain in La Boca and it was so early that it hadn't gotten going yet which was a shame, but the lunch/tango show was *excellent*. The food was great and there was plenty of wine!
There are some shops at the cruise terminal, but a lot of passengers went to Florida St. and did some serious shopping.
Some passengers ended their cruise in B.A. and some boarded for the first time.
It's hard to give Montevideo a fair shake as were were there Christmas day and it was pretty dead, but if Princess took this off the itinerary, nobody would miss much.
We did a city highlights tour which included the soccer stadium, a few statues, a government building and a drive around city streets. It was pretty dull and the city is pretty run down. Others that visited a winery in a nearby town seemed to have a better time. Some shops did open up and we bought a souvenir spoon.
There was a great internet/phone establishment on the dock which we used to call the USA and UK.
We then toured the Maggiorino Borgatello museum which was quite large and took probably an hour and a half. A tour group came in while we were there and probably spent 15 minutes tops. It wasn't the most exciting museum in the world, but it gave us a greater appreciation for the region and passed the time.
We also walked around the Punta Arenas cemetery which had huge mausoleums and beautiful trees.
We walked the streets and up to a cross on a hill which overlooked the entire port and city. There were vendors there and my husband purchased an alpaca sweater for US$20. We then walked by the waterfront where there was a huge modern hotel/casino and back to the ship via shops at the terminal.
Note: This port is tendered.
Rio is a pretty fabulous city!
We stayed in Ipanema at the 'Best Western Sol Ipanema'. I was very pleased with our hotel selection as it had a *fabulous* view of the beach and was very close to shops and restaurants. The staff was also very helpful when we were dealing with lost luggage. I had read that it's slightly safer in Ipanema vs. Copacabana as it's more of a locals beach. Indeed, all the crime we heard about from other passengers was in Copacabana. Of course we may have just been lucky, but we did wander around the streets and beach without any problems.
We took a day tour on Grayline of Corcovado, Sugarloaf and city streets which included an excellent lunch in Ipanema.
I recommend a visit to the hippi fair/market on Sunday.
The beaches get packed and are lined with bright umbrellas and juice bars along the boardwalk. We expected everyone to be 'perfect', but this definitely was not the case!
Make sure to try the Brazilian drink Caprihina!
The weather was warm enough to go on the beach and we wore shorts, T-shirts and flip flops.
Embarkation in Rio took a long time (we were there 3.5 hours), but this was mostly due to the fact the ship was late arriving that day due to weather. I wasn't bothered by it, but many passengers were.
In Stanley, we did an independent tour which took us to Volunteer point by 4x4 vehicle to see penguins. The journey was 2 hours each way over bumpy terrain. By doing such a long tour, we didn't have much time to see the town. (Barely and hour). If you want to see penguins here, I recommend a shorter tour to perhaps Bluff Cove that allows more time to also see the town. We did see a lot of penguins and we got very close to them, however there wasn't a guided tour or lecture about them. On the journey, we were able to ask our driver lots of questions about the Falklands. We had quite a bit of rain on the journey, but fortunately it was bright weather when we got to Volunteer Point. The lunch included was adequate, but far from gourmet and I noticed some people throwing it away.
The town is quaint and very British. The souvenirs are good quality. I would have liked to have more time to go in the pub and to see the war memorial and museum.
We wore gloves and a parka here and encountered rain.
Note: This port is tendered.

Last night my wife and I watched the Seinfeld episode where Jerry is forced to rerun a high-school race. As you recall, he'd destroyed the field with a false start. Nobody noticed except his bitterest rival. Everybody thought they had witnessed a miracle. After this amazing victory, he explains, he had never raced again. Friends begged him to; coaches begged him to. He refused, "and so the legend grew".
That is what we should have done in 1966. England should have retired from international football. Asked to take part, implored to compete, we should have said no. England, mighty footballing nation, why do you deny us your talent? We'll tell you why. Because we choose not to play.

How to have the cutest fishtail braid ever.
Posted in Tutorial on September 5th, 2012 by Reagan
Tags: braids, DIY, fishtail braid, Hair DIY, Hair How To, how to, styling
My favorite kinds of Fishtail braids are messy and pully. Listen, you cant go wrong with any fishtail, right? Im only saying the pullier the better.
1. Do a fishtail braid or two (Im doing two). If you dont know how, let me know.
2. Secure with an elastic.
3. By all means, pull on it.
4. Pull a lot more.
5. Keep pulling until youve pulled at every part of the braid. It should be nice and wide and also nice and fuzzy.
6. Build your style from there.
7. Stay tuned for a few style ideas. Aka, alternate endings.
Lets give a round of applause for the worst lighting ever! Its the best we could do at that time of night.

Irfan Khan's Loss
Irfan is an international actor. Madholal Keep Walking was offered to Irfan but he didn't respond. Finally the producer turned to Bengali film superstar Subrat Dutta.
One of the amazing things happened in Cairo Film festival when Madholal Keep Walking's screening was held and Madhur Bhandarkar, Irfan, and Jay Tank were together. They appreciated the film.
Jay's happiness had no limits when Subrat Dutta received the best actor's award. Irfan acknowledged the acting and the film pretty well.

DAVID Howell admitted 2012 couldn't have finished any better after a five-under-par final round at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa.
Having made the cut on one-under, the Swindon pro picked up another two shots during Saturday's third round and finished eight-under after a final 18 holes which only contained one bogey.
The performance was good enough to finish tied for 12th place during a final day disrupted by the weather, leaving the Broome Manor man happy with his effort.
"It is a nice way to end the year and I played really nicely and made some good movement up the board, and I couldn't have asked for a lot more really, although if I was being greedy maybe one or two more would have been nice," he said.
"I got what I deserved I think because I played really nicely, and bar Friday I think I played very well all week which was very pleasing.
"I dropped one shot which was a four foot putt which I misread a little, but I fought back pretty strong which was pleasing. I haven't dropped a lot of shots, but I know in myself there were a few putts I had a good look at and I know I could have holed."
The event along with last week's Nelson Mandela Championship in Durban formed the first two events of the 2013 season, and Howell is pleased with the head start he has made on a number of his rivals who chose not to compete.
"I have a nice couple of weeks off golf now to enjoy Christmas, and then I will start building for the Middle East swing," he said.
"It was a long way to come down to South Africa, and if I had finished badly it would have felt a bit like a wasted trip so it was nice to get another couple of cuts and get something out of the trip.
"I wanted to get a bit of a head start on the guys who didn't bother to come down going into the Middle East next year, and while it wasn't an amazing two weeks I think I got the bare minimum out of it."
South African Charles Schwartzel won the tournament by a staggering 12 shots, finishing on 24-under-par.

Rosler, in charge of his first league game on the road since replacing Owen Coyle as Latics boss, had more to be disappointed about than counterpart Gray as his side looked a good bet to secure a rare away win this season before Stroud called a halt to proceedings in torrential rain in the 59th minute.
Midfielder James McClean, a B£2million summer signing from Sunderland, scored his first goal for Wigan in the 24th minute, coolly sliding the ball under Wednesday goalkeeper Damian Martinez after a fortunate ricochet off defender Roger Johnson had sent him clear into the penalty area.
"I've no complaints. The referee did the right thing," said former Brentford boss Rosler, who made five changes to the side that halted a six-game losing run with victory over Bolton on Sunday and saw them miss a host of other golden first-half chances.
"Safety first for the players for both teams. I felt that when you have so much water on the pitch that Nick Powell can't convert a one-on-one with the keeper because the ball's stuck in the water, I think the referee didn't have a chance but to call it off.
"I think the referee was very good. In the first half when more rain came and settled on the pitch, I thought he was excellent and it was the right decision.
"Obviously for us, as good as we played in the first half and in the second, as tough as our game programme is in the next few weeks, this was a blow.
"I enjoyed myself so much the way we played in the first half against a team who has been on a high and beating top teams in our division, how we played on their pitch, how we quietened the crowd, how we dominated the game, I enjoyed myself so much.
"My only criticism is that we didn't score more goals. The game should have been safe at half-time."
