piWoman's Day/i magazine is breaking into online radio with the official launch of a
href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/stations/RadioWD/featured.aspx" title="RadioWD"RadioWD/a, a new
station powered by a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/" title="BlogTalkRadio"BlogTalkRadio/a. The
magazine's editors host a different 30-minute show each day of the week, with topics ranging from
fashion and recipes, to managing money—and readers can tune in live on the day
of or catch archived episodes on their own time. Not bad for a publication that's been around since
1938. /p p VP and Publisher Carlos Lamadrid said that's precisely why iWoman's Day/i chose to
launch an online radio show: to evolve and become "very interactive" like its reader base, and yet
not err on the side of being too tech-oriented or trendy. "RadioWD is for the woman who's at her
desk at 12 every day having a salad," he said. "Our content is
inspirational—not aspirational—so she can open up her
computer, listen to the show and get practical info on living well every day." The format is also
cost effective: iWoman's Day/i doesn't have to pay for hosting or airtime, it just splits the
station's ad revenue with BlogTalkRadio. Available ad formats include pre-roll audio and video
clips, banners and widgets. /p p iWoman's Day/i plans to plug RadioWD heavily in Q1, with both
print and online promotions, but it has been testing the platform with BlogTalkRadio for the past
few months. Launched in 2006, BlogTalkRadio has partnered with a number of companies, including
publishers like HarperCollins and companies like Sun Microsystems; and says it has broadcast over
170,000 shows since its inception. The company a

Seeing as it's fudging cold just about everywhere north of Cairo I thought I'd share a soup recipe
I made last night. Now I've made alot of different soups in my time but this is one of my
favourites. I can't recall where I got the original recipe from but obviously credit to them!
You will need:
2 tbsp of olive oil or 1oz of butter
1 1/2lbs of Tomatoes (Skinned, deseeded and cut into 1" chunks)
2 tbsp of tomato puree
2 Cloves of garlic crushed
1 Decent sized onion, diced finely.
1 1/2 pints of good vegetable stock.
150-200g of haricot beans (either tinned or dried (if dried hydrate overnight as per pack
instructions))
2 tbsp of fresh mint leaves (chopped finely)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Ok once you have prepared and chopped the tomatoes and onions...
...put large pan on medium heat
...add oil or butter to a large pan
...once oil is heated add oinions.
...sauté for about 4-5 mins until soft (do not allow to brown).
...add the crushed garlic and continue to cook for 3 more mins.
...add the chopped tomatoes and tomato puree and cook for another 3-5 mins until everything is nice
and soft.
...add the stock.
...add plenty of pepper and a bit of salt (taste it and add more if necessary).
...(if using dried haricot beans add these now too as they take much longer to cook than
tinned)
...bring to a rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer.
...if using dried beans simmer for 40-50mins until the beans are tender.
...if you are using tinned simmer for 25 mins, then add the beans and simmer for 5-10 more
mins.
...Five mins before the end add the chopped mint.
Serve in warmed bowls with some thick crusty bread and chuck a couple of mint sprigs on top to make
it look pretty!
I think this soup tastes great and makes a warming, hearty meal.
Feel free to add your own recipes!

Sunday Drive/a alumni, Jonny Lieberman, is a lucky SOB. Not only did he get the chance to drive the
Superformance replica of the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, but he snagged some wheel time in a
thoroughly uncivilized MKI GT40 powered by a fuel-injected Roush 427 IR motor... putting out 500
hp... to the wheels. The Daytona Coupe is even more devilishly delectable, with 556 hp and 553
lb.-ft. of torque motivating the 3,000-pound coupe. If there was a recipe for our demise, it would
look, sound and drive something like that. Needless to say, we're jealous, but that shouldn't stop

Here's a recipe for how to cover local elections. Take a bunch of bright and eager journalism
students. Give them two weeks to fan out across the city and come back with multiplatform stories
on issues as diverse as creating bike-only roads,
spending almost $30
million on a dog pound and treating Vancouver's
sewage.
This is what the first-year students at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of
British Columbia did for their final big assignment of the semester. The stories were published a
few days ahead of Vancouver's local elections on November 15 on our student publication, TheThunderbird.ca.
Following the Election
Election news is one of the main staples of journalism, so having a vote on our own doorstep
provided a great learning opportunity for the class. For this assignment, the students each had
to find, research, report and produce a news story.
But they also have to come up with a sidebar that would complement their main piece, and consider
what format this should take. This reflects our multiplatform approach in training graduate
students to work across different media while at the same time maintaining quality content. We
all know what a challenge that can be, even in the newsroom.
Many of the students are comfortable with technology and eager to experiment. But this is not
just about adding video or audio to a story because you can. Students are taught to consider how
using multimedia can enhance their journalism, making critical decisions about why one form of
media works better than another to tell a particular story.
When student Alexis Stoymenoff wrote about the mayoral candidates singing at an event, she also
posted short clips of
the performances. The videos enhanced the written piece by allowing readers to see what the
story was all about.
Another, Brandi Cowen, looked at how students new to the city were excluded from the local poll,
producing a map showing different
voting rules across Canada. This provided an easy and intuitive way to examine what could
have been a rather dry written piece.
Unraveling City Politics
Despite all the new ways to inform readers about civic issues, some basics remain. Students can't
forget that, no matter what tools you use to tell a story, the most important thing is to do the
legwork to make sure that the underlying story is accurate. The students still had to research
the local political scene, a task especially daunting given that many of them are from outside
Vancouver and have only been living in the city for a few months.
Getting a grounding in local politics was key to this assignment, as this West Coast city has its
own peculiarities. National parties aren't represented on a local level. Instead there are
Vancouver-only parties. And local councilors are not elected according to city district. Rather,
the ten candidates with the most votes overall are elected.
Therefore it was important to have faculty on hand who could help guide the students.
Fortunately, our Canwest Visiting
Professor for this semester is Vancouver Sun columnist Miro Cernetig. As a regular
commentator on city politics, he brought considerable knowledge and connections to the classroom.
He was instrumental in persuading the premier of British Columbia, Gordon Campbell, to talk to
the students about the political
issues in the province.
Still, it proved hard for students to gain, in just a few weeks, the sort of understanding of
local politics that a city reporter develops over years. Our advice was simple: Keep asking
questions. Sometimes the hardest part of being a journalist is admitting that they don't know
something, or don't quite understand it.
As budding reporters, it is understandable that a student might be concerned about appearing
ignorant. But there is nothing wrong in pressing for a clearer explanation and asking for more
details. Curiosity and perseverance pay off in the end.
Less is More
In the end, the students learned that not every story needed a multiplatform approach. Learning
how to use multimedia to successfully tell a story sometimes involves learning when not to use
multimedia. It's not about adding audio or video just because you can.
One challenge the students faced was working on stories that were not going to be published for a
couple of weeks. Many started their newsgathering by attending debates between candidates or
election-related events in communities. But the spot news generated by these events would be
woefully out of date by our publication deadline. Instead, we urged the students to look at the
issues that can come out of these events, and find the stories that brought the topic to life in
a topical and relevant fashion.
Our aim was for the students to produce local stories on issues that were largely absent from the
day-to-day coverage of the campaign in the mainstream media.
As a result, we ended up with a wealth of content. For example, at one of the mayoral debates,
neither candidate was willing to commit funds to the Outgames due to be held in Vancouver in
2011, at a time when the city was spending millions on the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Student Magally Zelaya used that as the starting point to look at the reaction
from Vancouver's gay community, which prides itself on its economic and cultural significance
to the city. For this story, we decided that the most effective way to enhance the main story was
a Q&A on the Outgames,
rather than try to use multimedia just for the sake of it.
Another, Brent Wittmeier, reported on the debate over building
homes in church parking lots and also chose text for the sidebar. Even in a multimedia
medium like the web, sometimes plain old text may be the best way to enhance a story.
For the students, the local elections offered an opportunity to take their skills out of the
classroom and apply them in a professional setting. It gave them a grounding in the politics of
the city and a way to showcase their multiplatform journalism. But it was also about making
decisions about using multimedia and thinking critically about how best to tell the story.

So, tired of turkey, yet?
Boy, do I have a treat for you. I’ve been looking for a good program to collect up all of
my recipes in one place. I’ve tried a bunch of free, or nearly free, programs. I’ve
even considered building my own Bento database of recipes.
