Soap (1977) Parody of modern day Soaps!
It wasn't until the shift to television that the parodies really started to hit their stride though. As soaps became less about preaching and more about lascivious stories lines or 'sex and suffering in the afternoon' as Time magazine put it, comedians began to take notice. It wasn't only the comedians either. Even more interestingly, the heyday of mock-soaps was simultaneous with soaps at their most popular and there was more than a little blurring of the lines between them as veteran soap writers and actors crossed over to make light of their own genre. Carol Burnett seemed to start things off in the 1970's when she unleashed As the Stomach Turns on her eponymous show. Eileen Fulton (ATWT) claimed to have come up with the title and concept. The plots in the ongoing skit focussed on demonic possession (before it became popular on real soaps), SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) and illegitimate births. More significantly, it dramatically mocked the use of organ music still common at the time and the frequent, unintentionally hilarious, mistakes which were known to happen when soaps were still being broadcast live and largely unrehearsed.
Soaps sometimes get a bad rap for being tawdry when they try to be topical, but it was precisely this quality which became so attractive to a new generation of comedy producers. In the soaps, they found the perfect subversive genre. Innovative sitcom producer Norman Lear (All in the Family, The Jeffersons) saw precisely this when he decided to take on daytime conventions and created Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (1976-1977). Even the title was an inside joke since Lear said it seemed like everyone on soaps repeats their dialogue at least once per episode (he must have been watching NBC). It was written by sitcom scriptwriter Gail Parent (Mary Tyler Moore) and real life soap writer Ann Marcus (Search for Tomorrow) and focussed on neurotic housewife Mary Hartman (Louise Lasser), her husband and their perverse friends and neighbors. While Lear kept the show stocked with all of the common cliches of daytime, he pushed them to the point of ridicule five nights a week with no laugh track, making the networks nervous enough about the content to keep it on the late night line up.
The seventies also saw the appearance of the longer lasting and even more controversial sitcom Soap The show only ran once a week but it lasted for four years (1977-1981) and featured the talents of former real life soap actors Donnelly Rhodes (Y&R) and Robert Mandan (Search for Tomorrow), as well as sitcom stars Katherine Helmond, Robert Guillame, Billy Crystal and Richard Mulligan. Like Mary Hartman, Soap also brutally parodied the most conventional aspects of the genre, particularly the use of ludicrous cliffhangers, and pushed the boundaries even further when it came to content. The show was so controversial it almost didn't make it to air thanks to its heavy focus on amnesia, incest, murder, kidnapping, alien abduction and homosexuality (it was basically like a fast paced version of Passions with a laugh track).
Rosanne's hilarious parody of General Hospital!
GH briefly as 'Jennifer Smith'. The same period saw several of OLTL's characters cross into Rosanne's fantasy life.
The early nineties saw another cinematic parody when Soapdish (1991) hit screens. That film starred Sally Field, Kevin Kline and Robert Downey Jr. and was produced by nighttime soap producer Aaron Spelling. It mocked the on and off-screen antics of the cast and crew of a show called The Sun Also Sets.The coming decade would also find a strong of short lived parodies coming from Moesha, Saturday Night Live, That '70s Show, The Parkers, Queer as Folk and South Park.
The Simpsons offered two blatant soap parodies. The first, early on in the series was Search For the Sun which followed 'Montana' and comparably named characters as they used sex to close real estate deals. The more lengthy treatment came when sleazy and fugly bar owner Moe Szyslak underwent plastic surgery so that he could return to his career as a daytime actor. The new and beautiful Moe took on the role of conniving eye-patch wearing ladies man 'Dr. Tad Winslow' on a show called It Never Ends, a fairly direct parody of DOOL. The NBC soap got an even more thorough skewering from the sitcom Friends, however. Their celebrated stab at daytime cam when that show's character 'Joey' got a job as an actor, Dr. Drake Ramore, on Days. Appearing on screen with him were a host of the show's actual actors including Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady-Roberts), although only Kristian Alfonso (Hope Brady) and Roark Critchlow (Mike Horton) appeared as their actual characters. The other actors took on new roles in plots which were invented purely for the sitcom. Even the show's writer James E. Reilly got in on it, mocking his own reputation as a reclusive power mad writer when he kills Joey off the show for disapproving of some of his convoluted story lines. Producers of the show have suggested that the ruthless parody of Days had more to do with the fact that Friends actor Jennifer Aniston is the daughter of DOOL's John Aniston (Victor Kiriakis) than anything else.
Even soaps have mocked themselves within their own confines. David Lynch's nighttime horror/soap Twin Peaks featured segments from the abominably over the top Invitation to Love. Meanwhile, Sunset Beach featured a parody within it called Search For Dignity. When Annie Douglas (Sarah Buxton) started to feel like her life was too much like a soap opera, she began to daydream about her life taking place in a bad sixties-era soap. This sort of self-referential campiness became a staple of that show and would essentially become the basis of the show which took it's place on NBC: Passions where, in the early years the characters overtly made fun of Days and Passions itself. Although it's been name dropped in mockery on Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and even in Nicole Richie's best-forgotten novel The Truth About Diamonds, the show is already so much a parody of every soap opera cliche and convention that mocking it would seem redundant.

The Learning Games

Sarah Dickerson '12
In It for the Long Run
Track and cross-country runner Sarah Dickerson says her favorite runs are when she can log 12 or more miles. "The longer I am out running, the better I feel," Dickerson says. "It's almost like I am able to peel away my stress with each mile."
But this happens during a run, not a race. "Race days are all about routine," Dickerson says. She eats the same food on a predetermined schedule—a bagel with peanut butter about five to six hours before a race and a Clif mojo bar about an hour and a half beforehand. She listens to her prerace playlist, which includes music by artists such as Third Eye Blind, Placebo, Blink-182, State Radio and Jimmy Eat World. Before warming up, she plays one of her songs on repeat, whichever one catches her fancy on a particular day. If she's feeling nervous before a race, she'll eat five to seven animal crackers to calm her stomach. But, she says, "I only eat the kitties because they are my favorite."
Warm-up begins with a 12–15 minute run, followed by stretches and strides from the start line. "Strides are kind of like semi-sprints," explains Dickerson. "The point is to simulate the start of the race a few times so that your muscles are ready for that burst of motion."
After warm-ups, head coach Marty Owens gives the team last-minute instructions for the races. Then the team forms a circle, their hands resting atop one another as they chant: "S-U, S-U-S, Q-U, Q-U-E, H-A-N-N-A, Susquehanna U, hey!"
Dickerson, a senior English and philosophy major from York Haven, Pa., began competitive running during her freshman year of high school. She played soccer for many years before that, but decided it was time to change sports since her favorite part of soccer was running laps around the field. And although her father's experience as a marathon racer guided her in those early years, it was the release she felt while running that solidified her commitment. "For me, the best part of running is having the time to immerse myself in my own thoughts while simultaneously gaining a heightened awareness of my surroundings. Running is the only activity I know that can generate this sensation."
And it is this feeling that has transformed Dickerson's definition of running. "Fitting running into the parameters of a sport is difficult because it's really a way of life more than a sport for me," she says.
With the miles she logs for practice, for meets and for sheer enjoyment, injury has been a persistent companion. Multiple stress fractures have kept her from running for months at a time. Most recently, she spent part of the spring season healing from a tibial stress reaction. But, Dickerson says, "The risk of injury is not something that would ever influence me to give up running."
Neither are her race standings, although she loves to compete. "There is just so much more to running than crossing the finish line first," she says. "If I have a great race, I'm certainly happy about it. But even in that case, it means more to me to see my coach pleased with my performance, because while running is an individual sport, in this team setting, we owe so much to our coach's training plans and personal guidance. Finishing well makes him proud, and that's how I say 'thank you.'"
And while team competition was not imperative to Dickerson's college search, she has been pleased with the benefits DIII athletics have offered her. With its focus on the student-athlete, Dickerson has learned invaluable time-management skills that allow her to balance her academic and athletic careers, and in so doing, reserve time each day for something she enjoys.

Theatrical scares abound for Halloween
|Photo courtesy Hardcover Theater
There's something special about a well-produced tale of terror on stage. It can be a single person reciting a bit of Lovecraft or Poe or a full production full of howling wind, mysterious footsteps, and creaks in the floorboards. Part of this is fairly obvious--hearing and seeing a story played out in front of you makes it all the more real. That you and the audience are gathered in the dark only makes the unknown--the engine that fuels the best horror stories--all the more scary. From there, it only takes a ghostly face in the window or a telling line to send the shivers down your spine.
Over this most special of holiday weekends, you will find plenty of Halloween delights in area theaters. Here are just a few items playing around town or in greater Minnesota.
Weird Tales for Halloween
(Bryant-Lake Bowl, 810 W. Lake St., Minneapolis)
At the Bryant-Lake Bowl, Hardcover Theater unleashes Weird Tales for Halloween, featuring a trio of ghoulish classics. The evening includes "The Beast With Five Fingers," where a man is haunted (shades of Evil Dead 2) by a human hand. "Lukundoo" finds an English explorer suffering from a terrible curse put down by an African witch doctor. And to round it up, there's "The Dunwich Horror," a landmark American horror story written by H.P. Lovecraft. $14-$18. 7 p.m. Friday through Sunday at the Bryant-Lake Bowl.
Yellow Kings and Darker Things
(People's Center Theater, 425 20th Ave. S. Minneapolis)
Over at Maximum Verbosity, Tim Uren presents a piece from Robert W. Chambers landmark horror anthology, The King in Yellow. Uren is a master storyteller and this story should be right up his alley. He shares the bill with phillip low who presents Quantum Suicide and Other Songs of Death, a collection of stories that promises additional ghoulish delights. $16 and $18. 7:30 Friday through Saturday (costume party Saturday night)
The Turn of the Screw
(Commonweal Theatre, 208 Parkway Ave. N., Lanesboro)
If you are looking for some theatrical scares and don't mind a road trip, Commonweal Theatre Company presents Henry James' classic The Turn of the Screw through November 6 in Lanesboro, located in the southeastern corner of Minnesota. James' tale is considered one of the greats of all time and features all of the elements you could want for some scares: A young governess on an isolated English estate, a pair of odd children, and plenty of strange goings on. The adaptation was crafted by Minnesotan Jeffrey Hatcher and is directed by Michael Bigelow Dixon, the former literary manager at the Guthrie Theater. $25. 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, November 4-6 and 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Really, you want to charge me for a little more ginger for my sushi? Even worse, my bento box came with white rice. Since I didn't get the rice, I asked for it. They told me I got the rice in my sushi. I thought they were kidding, but they weren't. You can't really get away with this in NYC unless you prey on the tourists (which we are not). We eon't be going back. You can go wrong on restaurant row if you go here.

I only order lunch-time delivery from here as they deliver to my office. The two roll lunch special for $8 is a great deal. The rolls are fine, nothing fantastic, however it's always a crapshoot on how fresh the fish will taste, and on my last order the spicey tuna was so much more mayo than tuna I couldn't eat it. All in all, you get what you pay for. Usually a pretty good, quick and cheap
Posted by sushi lover on 09/15/2010
Delicious, fresh and affordable sushi. The lunch bento box is excellent and so much food! It is very rare that one cannot possibly eat their whole sushi meal, especially at such a reasonable price. This restaurant achieves both feats wonderfully.
Posted by Anonymous on 08/28/2010
This place can only get away with their prices by being near times square. The food was mediocre and the portions were tiny (and we are small eaters.) Even the wasabi was less than I wanted! Who does that? We ordered rolls, that had really chewy seaweed, and udon that tasted like poor quality Chinese food. Packaged supermarket sushi is better quality than this garbage.

I only order delivery from this place. The other day I could not find the menu and had a nervous breakdown. The woman who takes the delivery orders is the epitome of a person who knows how to treat a customer. The management must train well. Bravo Ocha, I am yours forever...
Posted by Anonymous on 03/19/2009
I order from here all the time when I work late and the food is pretty decent. The dragon roll is good but strange thing is it appears different in size and the way it's made every time I order. The restaurant itself is not impressive. Lower ground level and not very full of guests. Overall, the price is okay for this area.
Posted by Particular on 02/10/2009
First time ordering delivery. Soup: Chicken and corn soup. Imagine taking your sock off at the end of the day, pouring a can of chicken broth through it, adding a small can of corn into it, taking poached, bland, diced infinitely tiny chicken breast, and several grinds of fresh pepper and you've recreated this delicacy. Actually, the Swansons might have much more flavor. This was the high point. Followed by the Futo Roll; an absolute nothing. $7.95 of nothing. Nori, fake crab, non-existent avocado, and flakes. Each piece big enough to get caught in your tooth. Which comes out to a dollar a piece as this extravaganza comes in 8 pieces -- whoopee! Followed by the Katsu Don. Literally a micron layer of pork covered with a 1/4 inch layer of breading and no curry sauce. This was egg-foo-young Katsu.

The 19-year-old forward made 20 appearances for his club in all competitions this season to underline his growing reputation.
Spanish Under-20s star Suso has not gone unnoticed in his development and he has been linked with a return to his homeland.
But he is only looking forward to continuing his career at Liverpool as boss Brendan Rodgers looks for a way back into the top four of the Premier League.
"This year for me has been beyond fantastic," Suso told Marca. "At Liverpool this season has been great and I'm very happy.
"Next year I'll probably stay at Liverpool. I know there are quite a few offers but I will not go. I'm happy at Liverpool."

Korea National Oil considers overseas acquisitions
Korea National Oil Corp., beaten by China in the race to buy Geneva-based Addax Petroleum Corp., said its seeking to acquire overseas assets to boost production.
The state-run oil developer has identified five companies abroad as potential takeover targets, company spokesman Jeon Byong Hyuk said by telephone today from Anyang, South Korea, without naming the companies.
South Korea, Asia's third-largest oil importer, may work with the nations $30 billion sovereign wealth fund to bid for energy assets, minister of Knowledge Economy Lee Youn Ho said last month. Korea National Oil may acquire an overseas oil company and increase output by 200,000 barrels a day, Yonhap News reported today, citing Chief Executive Kang Young Won.
Korea National Oil aims to expand its daily output to 300,000 barrels by 2012 from 70,000 barrels currently, Jeon said.
South Korea, China and India are looking to secure energy supplies after crude oil fell from an all-time high last year and made assets cheaper. Oil futures in New York have advanced 62 percent this year on signs the worst of the global recession has passed. Prices are still 51 percent below the record $147.27 a barrel reached in July 2008.
Chinese companies have spent at least $12.6 billion on oil assets overseas since December, including purchases in Singapore, Syria and Kazakhstan. China Petrochemical Corp., the parent of Asia's largest oil refiner, agreed in June to buy Addax for C$8.3 billion ($7.7 billion).
We lost Addax, but we believe there will be better assets, the minister of Knowledge Economy said last month. Still, acquiring oil assets needs a lot of money so the government is trying to raise funds from private investors and team up with state-run financial institutions.
Overseas Exploration
A South Korean consortium led by Korea National Oil plans to start exploring the Bazian well in northeastern Iraq late this month or in early October to get an estimate of how much oil it holds, Jeon said today.
In 2007, the Korean consortium, which includes SK Energy Co., signed a production-sharing contract with Kurdistan regional government for the Bazian block. Korea National Oil has a 50.4 percent stake in the block while SK Energy has a 15.2 percent interest.

It's Gothic, intricate, romantic, tragic, fun and surprising. I haven't read Stoker's original "Dracula" in about 20 years and most of the details I'd either forgotten or had been smudged, smeared, and overwritten by a lifetime of modern vampire stories and myths."Dracula" is set in the late 19th century and is presented through a series of letters, memos and recordings between numerous characters who, through no fault of their own, become entangled in Dracula's plot to move away from his rapidly dwindling (and more "vampire-aware") food supply in Romania to the hip and crowded urban living in London.Stoker's mythology around Vampires had a few surprises (to me, at least...apologies in advance if any of these are common knowledge to Stephanie Meyers lovers...). Vampires only lose their powers during the day. They don't burn up or anything in the daylight...they just can't morph into animals, use superhuman strength, etc. Vampires can't turn into anything fancy when they're over water...which was a convenient plot point revolving around Dracula's travels to and from London via boat. Also, Stoker describes Dracula as having a long thin moustache...so I can't help imagining a fu manchu.Van Helsing comes across as a Victorian age vampire-fighting Yoda. Stoker may have been writing Van Helsing's backward-talking soliloquies to be delivered with a Danish accent, but perhaps the Stoker estate should have a chat with Lucasfilms...Harker's wife Mina is a central figure throughout the book - initially only as the target of Jonathan's letters from Transylvania, and eventually as a key figure in the hunt for the Count. Her passion and love for hubby Jonathan is both melodramatic and touching. One can't help but feel a very Victorian-England vibe in their relationship.I thoroughly enjoyed the Stoker original. He does a masterful job connecting the plot dots through diaries and correspondence. Even by today's standards, I find his approach very fresh. The first quarter of the story takes place in Romania and Dracula's castle, and Stoker is at his best in his exposition of place and in setting the weighty and Gothic tone of Dracula in his environs. The image of the Count crawling down the outer walls of his castle, while Jonathan Harker watches from above, is burned into my mind.
I had wanted to be a writer of horror novels at an earlier point in my life. All my horror exposure had been 20th century novels and movies. I decided to take a step back and expose myself to classic horror. Stoker's style is unique and there are some truly evil imagery in this book. I believe reading this novel in the time period it was published would have terrified me much more than reading any modern day horror novel in my own time period. I would eventually like to read more of Mr. Stoker's attempts at horror. "The Lair of the White Worm" sounds interesting....
I know this is going to sound funny but I know now why this is a classic. I always dreaded reading it because it was written so long ago thinking I wouldn't be able to get into it but boy was I wrong. I was drawn into the story at once, it is cryptic and scary with amazing foreboding detail. You feel like you are in there with the characters. Great scenery detail. I LOVED this book, by far one of my favorites already. I may even read it again! (and i usually never do that). You can't beat the original vampire novel!
The orignial horror story. Hard to surpass and hard to put down once begun.

Indian Grilled Chicken Marinated in Milk & Yogurt
Whew—that was a mouthful! It was also…a mouthful. Yum! Brought to us by Kate Allison, I was attracted to this marinated chicken recipe because of its simplicity. Kate really didn't give us precise measurements, but instead just listed the ingredient list and directions, giving us the discretion to use as much or as little as we want. I was also drawn to the use of Garam Masala spice, since I'd never really used it before. Okay, I'd never used it before. Why do humans say "never really" when they actually mean "never?" Anyway, I wound up having to make my own Garam Masala since the "Indian" section of my small-town grocery store has Native American food, not Indian food, but we'll tackle that confusion at another time.
Kate's Indian Grilled Chicken Printable Recipe
Let's tackle Kate's recipe, shall we?
NOTE: The Dairy Recipe Contest Grand Prize Winner will be announced Monday, September 1st (Labor Day)! Can wait to buckle down and decide on the winner.
To begin, I poured 4 cups of 2% milk in a large bowl.
To that I added the same amount of plain, unflavored yogurt.
Then I whipped up some Garam Masala spice mix by grinding coriander seeds, black peppercorns, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves together. (This was just one incarnation of Garam Masala I found; there are other versions that are slightly different) I added about 3 tablespoons of the stuff to the milk/yogurt mixture. It smelled really nice.
Next, I added in a good tablespoon or two of Kosher salt and plenty of ground black pepper to the bowl. Why? Because Kate Allison told me to—that's why.
And added in a bunch of chicken pieces: one whole cut up fryer, as well as a package of eight chicken legs. (I rinsed the chicken before adding it, of course.)
That was it! I allowed it to marinate overnight in the fridge.
The next day, I threw them on the grill because Kate Allison told me to. I'm such a follower.
Yummy! I love grilled chicken. (And pay no attention to my outdoor grilling; I'm not any good at it. Marlboro Man was away. When it comes to the outdoor grill, I'm lost in the cold, dank wilderness without him.)
The verdict? It was delightful. The milk and yogurt marinade truly must have had a tenderizing effect, as the chicken was ultra juicy and moist. I think this is great if you're going to grill the chicken, because even if you overcook it a little bit, the tenderness of the meat might go a little farther. And the flavor of the Garam Masala was wonderful. Definitely unusual, but not overpowering—and a nice departure from my same ol' same ol' Lemon Pepper approach. And I could have used more…so if you try this recipe, go ahead and dump it in!
Thank you, Kate! It's what's for dinner tonight.
Indian Grilled Chicken Marinated in Milk/yogurt
Chicken pieces (whatever kind your family eats)- must have the bone and skin still on.
Plain yogurt
2% Milk
Garam Masala spice
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper
Marinate chicken OVERNIGHT in a mixture of all ingredients.
Heat grill to around 300-400
Place chicken skin down on grill and bake for until internal temp is 140.
Flip chicken over and continue to bake until chicken has reached 165 F for at least 4 minutes.
Remove from grill and let it "rest" for at least 3 minutes.
Kate's Indian Grilled Chicken Printable Recipe
Now that I've sampled all of the five finalists' recipes, it's time for me to assume some kind of yoga position and meditate over which one will be the Grand Prize winner of the sweet Dairy prize package. I made notes as I went along, so if you'll excuse me…I'm going to take a walk down Dairy Memory Lane. I'll announce the winner here tomorrow!
If I'm not back by then, send the SWAT team.

Sandra in Phx On Sunday, August 31 at 6:18 pm
It is almost dinnertime and that is exactly what I am wanting…but since it requires marinating, guess I will have to wait. YUM!!
Lauren On Sunday, August 31 at 6:20 pm
Ohhh…looks yummy..I will defrost the chicken tonight!!
Kathy On Sunday, August 31 at 6:21 pm
Yum-O! They look and sound delicious!
Lori in Michigan On Sunday, August 31 at 6:22 pm
Wow I'm in the first 10!! woo hoo!! The chicken looks so very good, I will be trying this later in the week, Thank you!
K in KY On Sunday, August 31 at 6:22 pm
This looks good but probably not something I'd make. Just seems like a little more effort than it's worth. Now, don't get me wrong, I'd come over to your house anyday and eat it!! It really does sound yummy!
corrie On Sunday, August 31 at 6:25 pm
I don't know how you'll choose a winner!!
All these recipes were varied and looked delish~ Good Luck to you Ree (and to the contestants too, of course) !!
jennifer b On Sunday, August 31 at 6:25 pm
Anjie On Sunday, August 31 at 6:26 pm
This looks soo good! I'd better put it on the menu for this week, and see what I can do about finding some Garam Masala around here.
golonghorns On Sunday, August 31 at 6:26 pm
Congrats to all the finalists. All the recipes are keepers and look super yummy!
jennifer b On Sunday, August 31 at 6:26 pm
Sounds delish! I may have to try this one!
Mary On Sunday, August 31 at 6:26 pm
yum… but how dairy is it really???
Lisaiz On Sunday, August 31 at 6:33 pm
Yum! I could see this working with a variety of curries. That's going on my must try list.
But tomorrow is PW's brisket, so the chicken will have to wait.
Lisaiz On Sunday, August 31 at 6:35 pm
P.S…. you can get garam masala at Amazon.com – I have the Rajah brand (I can get it locally, but for those of you who don't live near a major city, Amazon is a good option).
Carolyn A. On Sunday, August 31 at 6:35 pm
I'd like to thank you for hostessing this contest and for expanding my waistline somewhat. But I've enjoyed every blessed minute of it. xxoo
Mikki from Boston On Sunday, August 31 at 6:36 pm
This sounds to me be to be a great waste of milk and yogurt. I would just prefer the dairy to be part of the actual recipe. But I guess that's just the yankee in me!
What Happens Next... On Sunday, August 31 at 6:37 pm
NOT an easy decision!
I think I've gained a few pounds just reading the recipes… Yum!
And thanks to all who entered!
Mikki from Boston On Sunday, August 31 at 6:37 pm
This sounds to me be to be a great waste of milk and yogurt. I would just prefer the dairy to be part of the actual recipe. But I guess that's just the yankee in me! I don't envy you. This will be a tough call.
enid On Sunday, August 31 at 6:42 pm
I'm with Mikki from Boston. With the price of milk and yogurt right now 4 cups of each is a waste.
Barb On Sunday, August 31 at 6:42 pm
Wow, that's a lot of milk and yogurt, but I guess it could obviously be cut back for a smaller amount of chicken used. I have less people to feed than you do, Ree. Good luck deciding! I wish it was one of my recipes!
joleens On Sunday, August 31 at 6:43 pm
Sounds simple enough to make! Can't wait to try it! looks very delicious! Am also waiting to see who the winner will be!
PAM On Sunday, August 31 at 6:44 pm
Dang I am sure glad to know what garam masala spice is made of. We love Indian food (dots not feathers) and being married to a Brit, well it is the national food of England, so curries feature quite a lot in our lives. Mostly out of a jar from the local the Canterbury Shop in OKC (British food supplies). Thanks for sharing.
DVM'sWife On Sunday, August 31 at 6:45 pm
Interesting marinade, and an overnighter at that!
Can't wait to see the winner. Tough choice, IMO!
Jean On Sunday, August 31 at 6:46 pm
Yum! This sounds amazing! I'll have to see what spices we have here.. I'll bet curry would be good, too.. you're making me hungry!!lol
Natalie On Sunday, August 31 at 6:47 pm
Good luck!
Teslaca On Sunday, August 31 at 6:47 pm
This is similar to a classic Indian grilled chicken dish, just light on the spices. You can use a whole lot less yogurt and milk if you marinate the chicken in a ziploc bag and squeeze all the air out.
noble pig On Sunday, August 31 at 6:48 pm
How absolutely yummy, Garam Masala is one of my favorite spices. Thanks for the recipe.
Kasey On Sunday, August 31 at 6:49 pm
I am so going to try this. Our WM had Garam Masala in with the spices, but I don't know if yours does. Our Indian section is pretty meager too, but getting a wee bit better lately.
coloradolady On Sunday, August 31 at 6:53 pm
This sounds really good. I will try it. I am sure with the milk, yogurt marinade, that makes this dish divine. YUM
Beki On Sunday, August 31 at 6:55 pm
Sounds good. I look forward to trying all the recipes and good luck to the winner!!!
Bob On Sunday, August 31 at 6:56 pm
Oh yeah, that's the stuff right there. I love grilled chicken. The thing I hate the most about the apartment I am in is that there is nothing even close to a yard so I can't set up a grill. I used to grill all the time, I have been known to grill in January in Boston. Outside. Seriously. I don't care. I just need someplace to do it.
Randi On Sunday, August 31 at 6:58 pm
Oh I love Indian food…. Mmmm.
I have Garam Masala in my cupboard. YAY
Emelia On Sunday, August 31 at 6:58 pm
All I have to say is mmmmmmmmm…..
Becca On Sunday, August 31 at 7:00 pm
This is on our must try list! Oh my this one sounds really good!
Adornments by Milani On Sunday, August 31 at 7:01 pm
Yay, I already have all these ingredients in stock so I'll be making that this week. Thanks for cooking it up for us, Ree and to Kate for the recipe:)
nancypants On Sunday, August 31 at 7:03 pm
I recommend the Tree Pose. If your anything like me (which your ballet history shows that you're not) you won't be able to hold the pose for too long, thereby shortening the selection process. ;^P
This looks very yummy!
bordercolliemom On Sunday, August 31 at 7:05 pm
Garam marsala is in our regular grocery stores… I think the jar I have is McCormick. I bought it for some great tandori chicken appetizers made with puff pastry and have been looking for some other recipe to use it in. Yummo! Uh, oh, wrong cook…
chocolatechic On Sunday, August 31 at 7:06 pm
You could also do 'eenie, meenie, miny, moe'.
It looks wonderful.
All those spices. I bet that would be good to make chai with.
mosheep/Denise On Sunday, August 31 at 7:06 pm
This looks great and I am going to get some chicken pieces tomorrow morning and have this for dinneer tomorrow night.
Hope i can find that indian spice in one of our stores.
The sweet and savoury bread pudding was delicious for breakfast today and even though I halfed the recipe we have enough for another breakfast. There was just hubby and myself for breakfast this morning.
mary C. On Sunday, August 31 at 7:08 pm
Just a tip for Bob from Boston #31.
I live in a Condo, no patio, no yard, no grill.
I bought a Le Cruset Grill pan, and love it. I grill all the time indoors now! I got it really cheap on Amazon.com. and don't forget to spray it with Pam tho. Works great.
I have an Indian store right near me, and will check out that spice.
donna On Sunday, August 31 at 7:09 pm
Christina On Sunday, August 31 at 7:11 pm
My kids might actually eat this one!
MDH_Jenn On Sunday, August 31 at 7:12 pm
Indians don't use MILK in that recipe as it is a perfectly good waste of milk. They would use BUTTERMILK, though. But, they typically use all yogurt.
They also take the skin off of the meat.
I'm not a purist by any stretch but milk in that recipe is just wrong, IMO. Seems to me the submitter just subbed original ingredients to align with the theme of the contest.
rabidparadise On Sunday, August 31 at 7:12 pm
OH my. That looks like something even my pickiest daughter will chow down on. Definitely gonna have to try that one ASAP!
rere On Sunday, August 31 at 7:12 pm
that chicken looks great! just ate dinner and wished i had a piece of it as soon as i saw it…
Bron On Sunday, August 31 at 7:13 pm
Looks sensational!
susand On Sunday, August 31 at 7:13 pm
OOOHHH! I will definitely be making this….
Garam Masala is my all-time favorite spice/mixture.
I use it in hummus and just about everything else.
txgirl On Sunday, August 31 at 7:16 pm
i have marinated deer meat in milk or yogurt and it was super tender… my guess is any meat would work. Love the indian spices! My vote is for the muffins…not that it matters but that is my 2 cents : )
aeschine On Sunday, August 31 at 7:24 pm
I just made up a new rendition of cucumber/yogurt dip to go with the flatbreads I made. Had never tried flatbread before and we delighted how simple it was (hey…in my book, simplicity is next to godliness!).
This would be perfect entree with that!
Thank you SO much Kate and Ree!!
Janelle On Sunday, August 31 at 7:29 pm
Wowie!! I like this one a lot. Good luck picking a winner.
Brandy Hawkins On Sunday, August 31 at 7:36 pm
Not that we're able to vote or anything, but I've made the cheesy biscuits more times than I want to admit. And I've shared with the neighbors. And I've passed the recipe on. They're wonderful! Have more in the oven…right…now.
This grilled chicken looks delish though! Minus the bones. I have an aversion to *gag* bones.
Judy On Sunday, August 31 at 7:38 pm
How about having a peoples poll? And giving the "peoples" winner a small consolation prize? Like a gift card? You have some opinionated readers, P-Dub.
Amy From Texas On Sunday, August 31 at 7:42 pm
This looks very easy and very tasty. But I still vote for the bread pudding:-)
Cathy in MN On Sunday, August 31 at 7:46 pm
Oh. My. Gosh! *drool* I so love chicken.
Kathleen On Sunday, August 31 at 7:47 pm
I stumbled upon this site about a year ago from a book I read?! And although I am not an avid PW follower, I do find some interesting (non fried in pounds of butter) recipes from time to time. This contest…it's confusing to me. I recall your stipulation was that entries could not be from a cookbook & I find it hard to believe that all these postings are original. I am a fabulous cook, my daughter is a marvelous chef and the difference…I follow a recipe, she creates. Just keeping that real. Are you? I won't be back.
Christina Manning On Sunday, August 31 at 7:47 pm
That chicken does look pretty tasty. I would have to say that my vote would go to the blueberry muffins too… but I am a sucker for some good blueberry muffins!
Puppydogs On Sunday, August 31 at 7:50 pm
I know that diary is a tenderizer. I put 1 1/2 cups of milk in my meatloaf and it comes out moist and juicy. I never thought of chicken.
Thanks for the contest and the ability to review all of the recipes/responses. It was a lot of fun!
Interesting idea for a peoples pole (#52). I have seen other sites where posters have asked for someone (complete strangers) to vote for them. I have seen this on sites where you have to look through about 100 photos and pick the cutest animal (digi prints did this).
But, it does make it interesting to have your readers try the recipes and vote and see what they like best.
Hmmm I guess I am undecided on the whole process. I guess it would still be interesting to see what happens
Meg On Sunday, August 31 at 7:50 pm
I don't envy you for having to make this decision. But I do envy you for sampling all of those fantastic dishes.
Tamra On Sunday, August 31 at 7:51 pm
Best of luck to all of the contestants. I've made one of the recipes already and loved every bite. The muffins are breakfast tomorrow. This chicken one is going to work in quite well in a couple of days. mmmmmmmmmmmm
NonnieM On Sunday, August 31 at 8:00 pm
While this recipe uses dairy products, they're not really what's being consumed in the end. It would be hard to count this as part of a 3-a-day plan. However, I'm sure it's very good! I love chicken.
Dana (The Homesteading Housewife) On Sunday, August 31 at 8:07 pm
yummm! I think I'm gonna have to make that! we'll just let the yogurt be our little secret ok? if the men-folk on the farm knew it was in there they would be sissy's and slather it with BBQ sauce…. the barbarians!
Rebecca On Sunday, August 31 at 8:13 pm
This is like the chicken my mother would make on rare occasions growing up. Only she would 'fry' it in the oven with crushed corn flakes and we didn't have as many exciting spices and had lots of garlic. Milk/dairy is just a good marinade for chicken.
Gayle On Sunday, August 31 at 8:16 pm
Ohhh, I thought the bread pudding looked like my favorite, but I totally love Indian food. This looks great!
Kiran On Sunday, August 31 at 8:22 pm
yummy! i am an Indian, so I can truly relate to the taste and spices of Indian cuisine.The aroma and taste is just phenomenal. We use a lot of yogurt (especially in marination or grilling) as it truly tenderizes, add flavor and retain the juiciness of the meat. I would suggest you to try and look for ready made Indian spices online. I am using this brand (http://www.spicesofindia.co.uk/acatalog/ShanTandooriChickenBBQMixBig.gif) and I have never look any where else! It's so delicious! And the color would be slightly red, but that is what Indian grilling is called. TANDOORI! Enjoy!
lauren On Sunday, August 31 at 8:26 pm
yum! that is how my indian mom makes grilled chicken. cept she adds in some chili powder with the marinade
Kate Allison On Sunday, August 31 at 8:35 pm
I submitted the chicken recipe. I stumbled upon using dairy to remove the "fishy" smell to fish and have been using it ever since to do a final "wash" on fish prior to marinating. I figured it could be used with chicken and the lactic acid would be great for breaking down the protein. For the person that accused me of changing the recipe to fit the contest: I was not aware that Indian food would use buttermilk, I just used what I had in the house. I work about 70 hrs/week plus manage my 2.5 y/o, plus do all of the cooking. I try to keep all recipes simple and fast (except for marinating, this takes less than 5 minutes of prep). Also, leave the skin on: it adds more forgiveness on the grill. I tend to either get too busy chasing my daughter or caught up talking with friends to pay attention to little things like charring.
Also, as Ree said, no real measurements: I never write anything down when I do it, so if it turns out ok, I just have to guess if I want to repeat it.
Deb On Sunday, August 31 at 8:39 pm
Interesting concoction! I wonder if I can find that spice here in Hotlanta! I, too, love grilled chicken and this recipe will be one I try for my family.
Thanks Kate and Ree
Okie Girl On Sunday, August 31 at 8:39 pm
All of the recipes sound delicious. It is really going to be hard to decide huh? Glad I am not you right now.
melanie On Sunday, August 31 at 8:41 pm
I am going to make the chicken simply because I like the way the name 'Kate Allison' sounds. I'm going to call it Kate Allison chicken and pretend that I know her and that we are bff's. So there.
cybercita On Sunday, August 31 at 8:44 pm
does anyone know if the winners of the kitchenaids were posted? i can't find it anywhere.
what a fitting recipe this is — i just got back from shopping in jackson heights {neighbhorhood in queens new york where you can find anything at all from india}
Puppydogs On Sunday, August 31 at 8:52 pm
yes, # 70, Cybercita, go to her section called 'contests' on the left bar.
Or you can go to her confessions and look up the last picture of the baby bovine she is bottle feeding and there is a link there.
Tina K On Sunday, August 31 at 9:03 pm
Although this looks so yummy, Id have to agree with some of the other comments in that the milk seems a little unnecessary and maybe she did add it just for the contest. But it still looks very good!
I hope you choose the cheese muffins or the bread pudding, they both are wonderful! Can't wait to see the winner! Good luck choosing the winner Ree!
emily On Sunday, August 31 at 9:08 pm
Just wondering why you have to rinse the chicken? anyone…
Tracy On Sunday, August 31 at 9:09 pm
I don't understand how this recipe fits with the theme of the contest. I thought the whole idea was to get more dairy into people's diets. Although a lot of dairy is used in this one, very little of it is actually eaten.
Fishing Around On Sunday, August 31 at 9:10 pm
Mmm… that looks great and easy.
Laura On Sunday, August 31 at 9:17 pm
Although this looks tasty, it does not say dairy to me. This would be good for a cooking contest where chicken was the theme. My vote would be the bread pudding.
Tracy On Sunday, August 31 at 9:17 pm
"…dairy should play a prominent role in the final dish"
Hallie On Sunday, August 31 at 9:22 pm
This one doesnt thrill me but since I'm campaigning for Presidency, I guess I shouldn't say that!
Still need many states!
april On Sunday, August 31 at 9:26 pm
oh yum. my favorite has been teh blueberry muffins. thanks for having this contest. It has been fun expanding my horizons and trying new stuff I never would've tried before. I VOTE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS!! those things rocked!! I am ready to make them again and again!!
april On Sunday, August 31 at 9:27 pm
BTW who won the kitchen aid mixers?
Sarah Parker On Sunday, August 31 at 9:34 pm
Yogurt is a FANTASTIC meat tenderizer. I have used it for chicken, lamb…mmmhhhh! I am afraid of the grill too!
Thanks for keeping cooking real Pioneer Woman. I love your posts!!!
Debbie from GA On Sunday, August 31 at 9:40 pm
The chicken looks delicious. i just bought chicken today, so I will have to give this a try.
Randi On Sunday, August 31 at 9:59 pm
#55 I hope you don;t think only chef's can create. I have a few sucessful experiments and wish I had written them down thinking I would rememeber
Stick around, maybe you'll find more interesting recipes.
Sheila On Sunday, August 31 at 10:01 pm
My Indian friends tell me that making my own garam masala is the best way! That way your spices are fresh. Also, warming them slightly in a pan before grinding them gives them more "oomph". Yogurt is also used regularly in Indian food. I love it love it love it. Thanks for sharing your wonderful blog with us!
Dani On Sunday, August 31 at 10:03 pm
yum – anything with yoghurt and garam marsala has to be good. I love tastes of India.
Susan On Sunday, August 31 at 10:07 pm
I think the chicken looks delicious.
As far as the dairy being used in the recipe… it IS part of this recipe. Look at any recipe for marinaded meats or fish..it's the tenderizer and flavoring mechinism of the foods being cooked. Without them, it wouldn't be the same dish.
Ree..I think you chose a good variety to showcase dairy products in the many uses in food preparation. Congrats to all the finalists for sharing these with us.

Wow… I would have never thought about soaking chicken in a milk mixture. I love the idea that it keeps it more moist as I always over-cook chicken. The thought of undercooked chicken about sends me over the edge.
So the word "Indian" makes me think spicy, but I think I may be wrong. Was it really spicy or just a more interesting flavor? The farthest I've gotten away from roast and potatoes is a little take out Chinese every now and then so I'm a bit uncultured in the Indian food department.

Oh how I love chicken…let me count the ways. Oh man, I can't because there are just too many ways to count, and here's another one!

I'm voting for the cheese muffins – I made them for a friend's 40th birthday dinner and they were YUMMY! It is also the type of recipe that could be added to and changed around according to your needs and wants – think cheese muffins with sausage added for breakfast!!
Noni On Sunday, August 31 at 11:11 pm
Looks yummy! Too bad I can't make anything with dairy in it (youngest has a dairy allergy).
By the way: Do I spy WallyWorld cutlery in one of the pics? *Gasp!* Shhhhhhhhhhhaaaammmmmeeeeee!
KS_Kris On Sunday, August 31 at 11:17 pm
Wow! That's some expensive chicken! I'd eat it, alright, but I would rather drink the milk, eat the yogurt, and find something I wouldn't care about throwing out to use on the chicken. (Yes, I'm a bit frugal…just a bit.) Maybe if I had an over-productive cow…
kerry On Sunday, August 31 at 11:26 pm
sounds great. will have to keep it in mind next time we're having grilled chicken.
Catherine On Sunday, August 31 at 11:43 pm
I have everything for it and going to make tomorrow! yum yum grilled chicken and Indian spices!
Vicky On Sunday, August 31 at 11:55 pm
In case you want my opinion:
Cheesy Muffins – 1st place
Blueberry Muffins – looked good, but nothing special
Black Bean Chowder – 2nd place
Bread pudding – I wouldn't touch that, sorry just not appealing at all to me
Indian Chicken – Disqualified. Not really a "dairy" recipe in my opinion.
Just keepin it real.
charles On Monday, September 1 at 12:06 am
Milk & yogurt in the recipe……how much more dairy can you get ? It sounds yummmmmy! I'd vote for it ! I'm going to get my wife to cook it for me.
Marni On Monday, September 1 at 12:31 am
ooh..sounds good…much different putting the chicken in yougurt and milk instead of the ol' standby of buttermilk…will have to try!
Lisette On Monday, September 1 at 12:36 am
I'm Indian, and we don't use MILK to marinate – just the yoghurt makes the chicken moist and tender… and FOUR cups of MILK + YOGHURT is just excessive. One cup of yoghurt would suffice to marinate a chicken on its own!!
Tammy On Monday, September 1 at 12:37 am
Looks and sounds delish…..can't wait to find out who the winner is….congratulations to all the finalists!
Robin On Monday, September 1 at 1:00 am
Sounds pretty dairy to me, and since it's Ree's contest, she gets to decide what's dairy enough to be a finalist. This sounds really delicious and I'm looking forward to trying it!
Good luck, Kate!
SusanL On Monday, September 1 at 1:09 am
Too back everyonhe can't win. I think you've picked out a winning menu; you have a bread, a soup, a side/entree, an entree and a dessert.
Congratulations to everyone – everything sounds delicious

Holmes lawyers want his emails barred as evidence
Centennial, Colo. • Lawyers for Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes on Friday added his emails to the list of evidence they say should not be allowed at his trial.
Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of killing 12 people and wounding 70 others in the July 2012 attack. Prosecutors are looking for any evidence, such as emails, that might show signs of rationality that would undermine the insanity defense.
The defense is trying to block the emails, as well as statements Holmes made to police and evidence seized from his car, computers and iPhone.
At a pretrial hearing Friday, defense attorneys said the affidavits and court orders used to obtain the emails were so broad they swept up some emails that merely mentioned Holmes but weren't sent to or from his accounts.
Prosecutors said the requests had to be broad because investigators initially didn't know if Holmes had accomplices.
Investigators obtained Holmes' emails from Google, Microsoft and the University of Colorado. Holmes had been a graduate student in neuroscience at the university's Denver campus, but he had academic problems and dropped out before the shootings.
The university released thousands of emails in December in response to media requests about Holmes under the state open records law. Many were heavily redacted, and they provided little information on Holmes' struggles at the school.
Holmes' Gmail and Hotmail emails haven't been made public.
Holmes, now 25, is accused of opening fire in a movie theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora where more than 400 people were watching a midnight showing of a Batman movie.
His trial is scheduled to start in February. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Arapahoe County Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. hasn't said when he will rule on whether the emails, statements and other evidence can be used.
Even if he excludes the evidence, prosecutors still have a strong case, legal analysts say. Holmes' attorneys have acknowledged he was the shooter, but they say he was in the midst of a psychotic episode.

Keychain and RoboForm. How similar?
So i recently started exploring Mac, and so far i find it great. My only problems ofcourse is the programs. When i was on Windows, i used Roboform because have sooo many sites and sometimes i give them all different passwords. On Roboform, it automatically loads up the password for the site so that all i have to do is just click and it autofills the login form for me. I don't mind that Keychain Access doesn't have Auto Form Filler. But my confusion is on what Keychain Access actually does. Does it just store pw that's it? Is there a way for it to autofill for me? or do i have to open Keychain Access and look at the pw and then type it myself?
I honestly don't know how to work Keychain Access. I use Camino as my web browser and i am on a Mac OS 10.4.6. Tiger
Your help is very well appreciated.
It should actually just autofill the fields for you.
The first time you enter a password on the web (your browser must support this: The latest camino & safari do) it will ask you if it should store your information for you. Click ok and it will always autofill in the fields the next time you visit the site.
Safari can even detect & autofill address, telephone, email & other fields from your address book.
The thing that RoboForm does, that I miss very much in OS X, is that it allows for an infinite number of username/pw combinations for the same site, and while I don't have a lot of such sites, it's a great feature when needed (Gmail account logins for example). Roboform will also fill forms (banking sites and others) that normally just don't allow auto-fill (although Cami-Tools for Camino will provide that functionality). The closest thing I've found to filling that void is Opera's Wand feature, which does all of the things I mentioned above. Though Opera's current beta release of version 9, is still just a bit rough around the edges, once it's in final release, I'll be switching to it as my default browser, for that reason more than anything else.
Thanks alot guys, I think i will switced to Opera just because of that feature it has. Makes it alot easier for me. I really do hope RoboForm makes a version for Mac, that would be awesome.
I just noticed that FireFox 22.214.171.124, also provides a dropdown selection box for usernames where there are multiple logins for the same site. I don't recall when they implemented this (it seems to be unrelated to keychain functionality), but it was a pleasant surprise. As for keychain and Camino, I just confirmed that "remember new" does wipe the former login/pw in that situation, unless keychain can be used in a way that I'm as yet unfamiliar with (very possible).
In safari, you can enter multiple username & password combinations, and then just have to hit 'arrow down' to pull up the list of saved usernames.
Do you know of any Safari add-on that will provide the "ignore autocomplete=off" functionality of CamiTools? (force saving of PW's on sites that normally won't allow it).
After switching to Mac, I spent about a year complaining about how much I miss RoboForm -- I had a few hundred passwords stored in RoboForm and there were all generated (impossible to remember).
A few months ago, my partner and I decided to stop whining and do something about it. We quit our day jobs (we do not have to use Windows anymore!) and now we are just a couple of weeks away from releasing 1Passwd 1.0 -- form filler and password manager for OS X. It has extensions for both Safari and Firefox (I keep switching between them all the time) and can import bookmarks from RoboForm, Safari and Firefox into its own keychain.
There is a functional beta version at

Step 2: Base Color
I chose Hot Tamale, since it's super bright and very pretty, but that doesn't mean you can't choose a different brand and/or color! Get creative!
Step 3: Spots
Wipe the brush on the edge of your bottle so you don't have too much excess polish, either your spots will be circular blobs.
Gently swipe your nail with the brush so that you get a round-cornered square or a somewhat irregular-shaped square.
Let dry for around 2 minutes.
Step 4: Outlining your spots
Blot a little bit of polish onto your scrap paper.
Dip your brush into a little water, dry it off a little, then dip it a teeny bit into the paint.
Jaggedly outline your spots. Make sure to not completely encircle the spot, leave a few empty places where the blue touches the orange(or whatever colors you're using, in your case).
Let dry for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5: Top Coat
Let them sit until they're completely dry, try around 3-4 minutes.

Although the MSU Applied Plant Science program is a Michigan State University program, all courses can be taken at LMC. There are lab sessions that are held at the MSU Southwest Michigan Research and Extension Center on Hillandale Road in Benton Harbor for many courses.
There are also courses where some travel to LMC's Bertrand Crossing or South Haven campuses will be required. For a few courses, travel for a field trip to a regional greenhouse or orchard, or the MSU main campus' Student Organic Farm will be required. Sometimes an alternate field trip can also be arranged closer to the student's home.

Before bursting onto the music scene in 2009, we knew Drake best as the Canadian actor who played wheelchair-bound Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi: The Next Generation. But five years after signing with Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment imprint, Drizzy has become a major hip hop game changer. He has received dozens of accolades, including his first Grammy for Best Rap Album, and introduced the phrase "YOLO" into the pop culture lexicon. Did we mention he's achieved all of this by the age of 27? Drake has accomplished so much at such a young age that it begs the question: has he eclipsed his mentor and boss, Weezy? Let's break down the stats.
The music industry wasn't quite the same when Lil Wayne was working his way to stardom. The New Orleans rapper entered the game when he was a teenager, spitting rhymes in a group called The Hot Boys and repping Cash Money back in 1996. Wayne's road to world-wide adoration was much longer than that of his protégé Drake. With their Drake Vs. Lil Wayne battle tour kicking off tonight, let's compare what they both accomplished by the age of 27….
- So Far Gone EP (2009)
- Thank Me Later (2010)
- Take Care (2011)
- Nothing Was the Same (2013)
- Tha Block is Hot (1999)
- Lights Out (2000)
- 500 Degreez (2002)
- Tha Carter (2004)
- Tha Carter II (2005)
- Tha Carter III (2008)
WINNER IS…Drake. Although Lil Wayne released more albums than his protege overall, the Toronto rapper has achieved a larger number of albums sold in a shorter period of time than his boss with Drake's first three studio albums selling over 400,000 units in its first week. Tha Carter III, released in 2008, was Lil Wayne's first album to push over 500,000 copies in its first week.
- Drake has 33 top 10 hits on Billboard R&B/Hip Hop charts.Drake beat Usher's record, topping Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart with 14 #1 singles that recently included Lil Wayne assisted "Believe Me".
- Lil Wayne has 31 top 10 hits on Billboard R&B/Hip Hop charts (second to Drake).
- Lil Wayne is third behind Drake and Usher with "Believe Me" being his 10th number one single on the R&B/Hip Hop Airplay charts.
WINNER IS…Drake. He surpassed Lil Wayne with the most top 10 hits on Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop charts in addition to beating out Usher's record with the most number one singles.
- Drake started OVO Sound Label in 2012 with Noah "40" Shebib, which is distributed by Warner Bros. Records. Artists include group Majid Jordan and PARTYNEXTDOOR.
- Lil Wayne started Young Money Entertainment (YMCMB) in 2005, which is distributed by Cash Money/Universal with Drake and Nicki Minaj being two of his lead artists.
WINNER IS…Lil Wayne. He signed Drake but I do believe Drake will be able to achieve the level of success Wayne did with YMCMB as Drake's influence continues to grow.
- Jay Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Rihanna, Beyonce, Young Jeezy, Chris Brown, Swizz Beatz, Rick Ross, Bun B, Alicia Keys, DJ Khaled, 2 Chainz
- Jay Z, Eminem, Kanye West, B.o.B, Chris Brown, Swizz Beatz, The Game, T.I., Wyclef Jean, DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, T-Pain, Destiny's Child
WINNER IS…Drake. Although this could easily be a tie since they've both worked with many of the same artists, Drake wins this for landing respectable collaborations with artists like Jay Z, Eminem, and Kanye West early in his career.
- Lights Dreams and Nightmares Tour also known as Away From Home Tour (2010)
- Club Paradise Tour (2012)
- Would You Like a Tour (2013-2014)
- I Am Music Tour (2008-2009)
- America's Most Wanted Festival (2009)
- I Am Still Music Tour (2011)
WINNER IS…Lil Wayne. His I Am Music Tour/America's Most Wanted Festival and his post-prison I Am Still Music Tour grossed over $80 million combined with I Am Still Music Tour being his highest in gross and attendance.

WD releases expensive, questionably useful SSD+HDD non-hybrid Black2 'dual drive' November 25, 2013 at 2:03 pm
Western Digital has just released the Black2 — 2.5-inch hard drive that combines a 1-terabyte hard disk drive and 120-gigabyte solid-state drive. Curiously, though, the WD Black-squared isn't a hybrid drive — it's two separate drives in a single, over-priced package, sharing the same SATA interface. WD seems to be using the phrase "dual drive" but "2-in-1″ and "combi-drive" are both pretty accurate. Due to this unique, SSD-riding-shotgun, non-hybrid setup, it's not immediately clear how WD wants you to use the Black2 — nor how big the performance gains actually are. For $300, though, we have high expectations.
PS4: Install an SSD or HHD to speed up game loading time by 20 seconds or more November 19, 2013 at 5:16 pm
The PS4 ships with a reasonably-sized 500GB hard drive, but it's quite lackluster in terms of speed. The drive only spins at 5400RPM, but it can be easily upgraded to a better drive without voiding your warranty. So, what happens when the default drive is replaced with a solid state drive or a hybrid drive? The real-world tests are in, and the results are actually quite surprising.

Now, we have a hands-on confirmation that anyone with the will and a screwdriver can replace the drive inside of Sony's next console. Too bad a 500GB SSD will cost just about as much as the PS4 itself.

Apple seems to be progressing quietly and smoothly after its iPhone 4S and iOS 5 launch. You see, Apple today updated its MacBook Pro lineup without any mention of this update. This news was leaked earlier today by 9to5mac.
Note: This is a minor refresh with only a slightly faster processor, better graphics and bigger storage space. These updated MacBook Pros are being offered at the same price.
13-inch MacBook Pro:
- Processor: Processor options increased from 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 and 2.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 to 2.4GHz and 2.8GHz options.
- Storage: Hard drive options increased from 320GB and 500GB to 500GB and 750GB.
15-inch MacBook Pro:
- Processor: Processor has increased from 2.0GHz and 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 to 2.2GHz and 2.4GHz.
- Storage: The previous 500GB hard drive running at 7200 rpm has been increased to a 750GB drive at the same speed.
- Graphics: Graphics have been improved from 6750M to the low-end configuration with 512MB of memory and given the high-end configuration a Radeon HD 6770M with 1GB of memory.
17-inch MacBook Pro:
- Processor: In terms of processor, the 17-inch MacBook Pro has been increased from 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 with a 2.3GHz to 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz.
- Graphics: Graphics have also been slightly improved from AMD Radeon 6750M with 1GB of memory to the Radeon HD 6770M, also with 1GB of memory.
- Storage: Same as in the 15-inch MacBook Pro, the 17-inch has been increased from 500GB hard drive running at 7200 rpm, and has been bumped to a 750GB drive at the same speed.
Are you going to purchase one of these refreshed Macbook Pro laptops? Let us know in the comments section below…

Green Mountain College Launches New Sustainable Business Leadership Program
Working professionals looking to increase their skills and credentials in sustainable business can now earn a Certificate in Sustainable Business through an innovative four-week distance learning program offered by Green Mountain College June 5-July 3, 2009.
Designed to help mid- and senior level professionals integrate sustainable business practices into their organizations, the Sustainable Business Leadership Program (SBLP) is an intensive four week course that allows participants to complete most of the program online. The program also includes two, day-long residencies at the College, and an on-site case study at Marcal Paper Corporation in Elmwood Park, N.J. All participants are closely mentored by Green Mountain College faculty members who understand the connections between conscientious environmental stewardship and profitability, and who have experience in businesses ranging from entrepreneurial ventures to global multinationals. The SBLP program is an outgrowth of the College's successful MBA program launched in 2006.
The new program is sponsored by Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility. "Members of VBSR recognize that the need to make a profit—and the need to make a difference—are not in conflict," said Will Patten, VBSR executive director. "We share these values with Green Mountain College, a national leader in sustainability in business."
The Sustainable Business Leadership Program also offers opportunities to network with other professionals and local business leaders, and the resulting Certificate in Sustainable Business counts as three academic credits toward Green Mountain College's MBA program. Faculty members include Karen Fleming, associate professor of business and MBA program director; Bill Prado, assistant professor of business and economics; Victor Morrison, president of the American Flatbread Company; and Debra Heintz, director of retail operations for Ben and Jerry's.
"Senior managers are tuned in to the importance of sustainable business practices in their organizations," said Fleming, the SBLP program director. "They are turning to a new generation of leaders who can guide corporate decision making to generate profit while benefitting people and our planet."
Minimum requirements for participation in the program include a bachelor's degree, five years of work experience and high speed internet access. Details of the program including application information and fees are located on Green Mountain College's website at www.greenmtn.edu/mba/certificate.aspx.
Green Mountain College has offered a business degree program for over seventy years, and made the environment a special area of focus for undergraduate programs in 1995. Now recognized as a national leader in sustainability, GMC introduced the nation's first accredited distance learning MBA two years ago.

How does it do in the rain? If it gets stuck with me in the pouring rain for an extended period of time will I have to worry about it breaking?
Joe Hoffman
It will be fine, assuming you keep it in the waterproof case.
Angus Bohanon
The case is completely waterproof, but it's worth mentioning that I brought one on Tough Mudder this year and in the really cold water, it gets condensation between the case and the lens. Watch out for that.
@ Angus - they make an anti-fog insert that is said to prevent that from happening.

His strengths are in portraiture (Eric's featured in our Complex Guide to Portrait Tattoos), but his talents (as you'll see) extend to finely articulated narrative pieces.
