PROLOGUE: Over the weekend, I was thinking about a recent visit I had with an advanced ASIC team manager who told me that they had optimized most aspects of their verification flow to such an extent that most of their remaining effort was spent in debugging. So, I decided to work up a draft blog on debugging. However, this morning, when I was preparing to post my blog, I noticed that Richard Goering … Read More
I see that Synopsys has finally released VMM1.2. Congratulations, guys.

"Lyrics or Music - Billy Squier"
Let's continue our feature here at DigitalDreamDoor: Ask "Mr. Music." Now in its 24th year of syndication (1986-2011), Jerry Osborne's weekly Q&A feature will be a regular post every Wednesday from now on.

"Jerry Osborne"
May 31, 2010 - "Lyrics or Music - Billy Squier"
Most would say that the music of a song is more important than its lyrics.
Can you think of any hit songs that became popular more because of words rather than music?
- Barry Wise, Milwaukee
In a general sense, I would rate both components equally, which would likely exclude me, and most lyricists, from membership in your club. There are thousands of hits in each category - made by lyrics and made by music - and just as many popular thanks to a combination of the two.
Immediately coming to mind are songs that tell a story, a tiny sampling of which are: "Candle in the Wind" (Elton John); "The Battle of New Orleans" and "North to Alaska" (Johnny Horton); "My Way" and "It Was a Very Good Year" (Frank Sinatra); "Me and Bobby McGee" (Janis Joplin and Jerry Lee Lewis); "Creeque Alley" (Mamas and the Papas); "In the Ghetto" (Elvis Presley); "Garden Party" (Rick Nelson); "Like a Rolling Stone" (Bob Dylan); "Harper Valley P.T.A." (Jeannie C. Riley); the poems of Rod McKuen put to music; and most anything by Marty Robbins or Tom T. Hall.
Novelty and teen tragedy hits, such as these, almost always owe their success to the lyrics: "M.T.A." and "Tijuana Jail" (Kingston Trio); "The Purple People Eater" (Sheb Wooley); "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" (Royal Guardsmen); "The Name Game" (Shirley Ellis); "Tell Laura I Love Her" (Ray Peterson); "Last Kiss" (J. Frank Wilson); "Teen Angel" (Mark Dinning); "Ebony Eyes" (Everly Brothers); etc.
Most holiday, inspirational, message, and protest hits rely entirely on words to make the point: "Sleigh Ride" (Ronettes); "Pretty Paper" (Roy Orbison); "Amen" (Impressions); "Turn, Turn, Turn" (Byrds); "If I Can Dream" (Elvis Presley); "Everything Is Beautiful" and "Mr. Businessman" (Ray Stevens); "Eve of Destruction" (Barry McGuire); "For What It's Worth" (Buffalo Springfield); etc.
Then there are countless garden variety tunes whose sales soared because of some marvelous lyrics, for example: "Too Many Rivers" (Brenda Lee); "The Long and Winding Road" (Beatles); "King of the Road" (Roger Miller); "The Tracks of My Tears" and "Shop Around" (Smokey Robinson and the Miracles); "Everybody Needs a Rainbow" (Ray Stevens); "Help Me Make It Through the Night" (Sammi Smith); "Life" (Marty Robbins); "My Eyes Adored You" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (Frankie Valli); "Rock N' Roll (I Gave You the Best Years of My Life)" and "I'll Paint You a Song" (Mac Davis); "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" and "Rose Garden" (Joe South); "The Glow Worm" (Mills Brothers); "For the Good Times" (Ray Price); "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" (Tony Williams and the Platters); "Crazy" and "I Fall to Pieces" (Patsy Cline); "A Change Is Gonna Come" (Sam Cooke); "What a Difference a Day Makes" and "Manhattan" (Dinah Washington); "Operator" and "Time in a Bottle" (Jim Croce); "Photographs" and "There's a Place in My Heart" (Nana Mouskouri); etc. There are thousands more.
Based on my fondness for the 1982 hit, "Everybody Wants You," I decided to search eBay for more records by Billy Squier.
I was surprised to find about a hundred listings that identify him as Billy Squire. Are those dealers just not reading their records right, or is he really credited both ways?
What are his biggest hits?
- Jessie Garcia, Flagstaff, Ariz.
Billy's last name is definitely Squier. Transposing the last two letters is a typo caused by sellers not looking closely at the record they hold in their hands.
The two homophonic names sound the same, but most folks are far more familiar with the "squire" spelling.
Besides "Everybody Wants You," his other Top 40 hits are: "The Stroke" (1981); "In the Dark" (1981); and "Rock Me Tonite" (1984).

Hong Kong UHNWIs' Real Estate Holdings Top US$43 Billion
SINGAPORE, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Wealth-X, the ultra high net worth (UHNW) business development solution for Global Private Banks, Luxury Brands, Educational Institutions and Non-Profits, has released a statistical profile of the typical Hong Kong ultra high net worth individual (UHNWI) based on demographic and wealth indicators.
Against the backdrop of a red hot premium property market, Hong Kong's ultra wealthy population holds US$43 billion worth of real estate assets, representing 9% of the total net worth of its UHNW population.
Gender representation among Hong Kong UHNWIs is skewed with a female among every 4 UHNWIs. The typical Hong Kong UHNWI is 57 years old, married and self-made with an average net worth of US$150 million and liquid assets of US$34 million. Collectively, Hong Kong UHNWIs own US$52 billion worth of luxury assets, ranging from private aircraft to art and collectibles. The average Hong Kong UHNWI owns US$14 million worth of real estate holdings.
"Among assets, real estate continues to dominate Hong Kong UHNWIs' luxury portfolios," Wealth-X CEO, Mykolas D. Rambus said. "The continuing allure of property is very much attributable to wealth creation particularly for Hong Kong where real estate has been the source of wealth for many of Hong Kong's storied billionaires that include Li Ka Shing, Lee Shau Kee and Cheng Yu Tung".Mr. Rambus added, "Our analysis shows that UHNWIs above 70 years of age represent 25% of the Hong Kong UHNW population with an average net worth of more than US$100 million. Collectively, they hold more than 40% of the total wealth attributable to hectomillionaires. This means a significant phase of wealth transfer is likely to take place in the next 15-20 years. The ability to understand these UHNWIs and their social networks is key to success in becoming the chosen service provider in the wealth transfer process." For the full profile, please visit http://www.wealthx.com/articles/2013/statistical-profile-of-the-hong-kong-uhnwi About Wealth-X Wealth-X provides detailed intelligence on ultra high net worth (UHNW) individuals globally.

Tech talk
The Vatican To Attack Smart Phones/Devil
"So you got these technology companies that have been shoving new tech down our throats for who knows how long. They have all these features that will make life easier and and and then this smart phone comes along and it's a total game changer – not only for regular folks, but for the evil at work behind it. Every day people are sliding to unlock and dropping down their menu to check their messages and whatnot. Some people do it hundreds of times a day, maybe even thousands, I don't know. But every time you slide to unlock and then directly drop down that menu, you're making an upside down cross, in reverse from the traditional Catholic way and opening up doors for Satan to march right out and take control of you. People wonder why there is so much evil happening in the world and why there is more and more violence every day. We have found a direct correlation between when the touch screens with their "Innocent" menu accesses were first released and when the violence began to increase. The more people that bought these smart phones and used them, the more violence began to pop up. You can't ignore findings like this. Satan has has pulled one of the biggest tricks in the history of mankind with this. Everyday millions of people are unknowingly offering themselves up to the Devil and we need to make this stop."
Bishop Warrens went on for quite some time about the plan of action to help people stop their evil actions when using their smart phones. Some of the ideas they have come up with is changing to a slide password or instead of dropping the menu down, one should click directly on the icon they want. Bishop Warrens informed us that the Vatican will be enacting his plan in the coming months. He left me with this, "We've got to stop this evil. I'm on a mission from God, to save one soul at a time or thousands at a time. We're going to win, even if it means contact the phone manufacturers. May God be with you in these harsh times."

I had this somewhat long post prepared on Steve Jobs, but instead of talking about how great Steve Jobs was and how much he inspired us, I decided to just let Mr. Jobs inspire you himself.
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do…"
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
"Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
~ Steve Jobs 1955 – 2011
Thank you, Steve Jobs.

Before I got this foam topper, both my wife and I, at only 28 years old, woke up sore EVERY morning. Limbs would fall asleep on us, and we were tossing and turning. I can't stress how sore and achy we were in the morning!! Our mattress is a old low end firm Sealy, probably about 12 years old now. It's sagging, old, and really worn out. We need a new mattress, but can't get one for a few more months. I was looking for a temporary somewhat inexpensive solution. The Slumber Solutions 2inch Memory Foam Topper was the answer. We wake up rested, no more aches! No more limbs falling asleep, or tossing and turning. Now, it's not a miracle topper. We still need a new mattress, but now we can hold off for quite a while without suffering........ I don't understand all the complaints about the strong smell! What smell?!? When I opened the box, yes it smelled like foam, I aired it out for 6 hours, the room smelled like foam, we slept on it a couple nights with it still smelling like foam. After about three days on the bed, and under all the sheets, it didn't smell at all! We sleep with a window open for fresh air, so that might help, but there is NO SMELL, just awesome comfort! I even have a very sensitive sense of smell, more than my wife even. During my college days I purchased a plain old egg crate foam pad because our dorm rooms didn't have fancy shmancy box springs and thousand dollar mattresses. Now THAT thing smelled! And it only added marginal comfort. I had to sleep with the horrible smell of foam for about three school terms because the hard mattress was worse than enduring the smell, and I tried opening the window, but it was 10 below outside. I think everybody that says it stinks should get out of there gilded palace with their air fresheners, and ionic breeze (I own one too :) ), and go smell the world, IT is a much stinkier place than a bit of foam off-gassing for a day or two. Bottom line, buy it at a time of the year when you can sleep with the bedroom window open and fresh air circulating for a few nights and you will be fine...... We bought the 2 inch topper because my wife and I are stomach sleepers. It works perfectly, you don't feel like you are going to be suffocated, yet still oh so comfortable. BUT if you are a back and/or side sleeper I would really recommend the 3 inch topper! When I sleep on my back or side, I bottom out just a bit and sometimes wish there was just a little more padding (but only for those positions, it's perfect for stomach)...... I highly recommend!! It's an excellent value and a lot of bang for your buck!
People post many concerns about memory foam mattress toppers. Here are the top three as they pertain to this product: 1) Smell. -The smell is "new". If you ever had new carpet in your home or office, that is the smell of the topper out of the box. It is not pungent or putrid. I "aired out" this topper for 10 hours (went to work) - came home and... Wah-lah! No smell! It fluffed up beautifully on its own too. 2) Density. - I almost bought one from TJ Maxx for $35 and was going to return this one until I felt it. There is no comparison! The thickness of this foam is dense. It does not look like a sponge - with lots of air holes. THAT makes all the difference... its like thread count. The less holes, the higher the count, so you get more support. 3) Price. - This is the best bang for your buck. The quality of this topper for under $100 - I have yet to find one better. This was built to last.
I purchased this topper at the recommendation of my daughter-in-law. I have a very firm mattress and I would wake up in the morning with a sore back and side. This topper has made such a difference. I sleep better and I wake up with no more pain. The 2-inch was plenty to make sleeping a pleasure now. I followed the instructions to open it and let it air out to remove any smell. It worked great. This was a great purchase, and I will probably be getting another for my guest room bed.
This is the fourth memory foam mattress topper I have purchased from Overstock. Never been disappointed. I like this one better than the three inch one I was using.
SO comfortable. I love it! This mattress topper is on a guest bed in our house, but I like it so much that I might need to get one for our bed.
I LOVE it! I purchased the 2" topper to save money, and I was worried it wouldn't be thick enough, but it is perfect! It is so comfortable, and my hips do not hurt anymore when lying on my side for a long time.
We have a sleep number bed but wanted a little extra softness on the top, this topper is perfect. Only drawback is the smell when you first open it. Goes away pretty quickly though.
Came in a few days in a small box. I pulled it out and it formed to the correct shape almost instantly. I aired it out for a few hours and that was it, ready to go.
I had ordered a memory foam topper years ago for my bed. So, when my daughter got a new mattress it seemed a bit hard. I looked on here to get her some foam. It not encased in any material/zippered pouch like mine is, but it was a good price. It's soft and certainly makes her bed softer,but it doesn't have that sink in memory foam feel to it. It does not hold your hand imprint if you push on it. It really seems just like a piece of foam.
This is my first memory foam topper, so i cannot compare it to others, thus the good vs excellent rating. since it is in a guest room i have not used it a lot, but based on the few times i slept on it or took naps i would say it is just what i wanted - something to help an aging mattress, soft yet firm. it is about an inch or two narrower than the full queen width, but this is not a big problem. however i think they should make it true to size, or inform the customer of it's true size. overstock helped me to choose this one and made the confusing process much easier. it arrived faster than i expected, and after 24 hours the smell was gone.

Black Music Month: V101.9 Salutes Mary J. Blige
June is Black Music Month as we continue to feature some of the greatest artists to ever grace us with their musical talents. Our artist today fits that description in every regard. Billboard magazine has ranked her as the most successful R&B female artist in the last 25 years. This is another V101.9 Black Music Month moment.
Inspired by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight and Patti Labelle, Mary J. Blige dreamed of one day herself being an inspiration to others. After making a recording of Anita Baker's 'Caught Up In the Rapture' it ended up in the hands of the CEO of Uptown records who then would sign her to the label making Mary J. Blige the youngest and first female artist for the label.
In 1992 she would team up with Sean 'Puffy' Combs for work on her debut album, 'What's the 411.' Released in July of that year, it was an instant success with her first two singles off the album, 'You Remind Me' and 'Real Love' both topping the charts. The album would go platinum selling over 3 million copies and becoming her most successful to date.
With the recent release of her tenth studio album, 'My Life II' all have debuted in the top 10. Mary J's other accomplishments include nine Grammy Awards, four American Music Awards and total album sales of over 50 million.
Centric in celebration of Black Music Month brings you special programming every weekend in June, including Hip-Hop, R. Kelly and Soul Train. see concerts, specials and music video blocks in celebration of Black Music Month every weekend in June and only on Centric.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Review
In Phone Reviews / By Noel /
We're huge fans of the Samsung Galaxy S4 — it is, hands down, one of the best premium smartphones in the market today. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini takes the S4, shrinks it down to a more compact size, and trades in the high-end guts for a selection of midrange components. Design Physically, it's a near-exact copy of the S4, just with more compact dimensions. Everything from the rounded edges, silvery sides, and glossy plastic […]
Vivo Xplay 3S Boasts 490 PPI 2K Display
A high-resolution screen isn't everything. That said, we can't help but be impressed with the display panel on the Vivo Xplay 3S, which boasts a whopping 2,560 x 1,440 resolution and 490 PPI of pixel density. The successor to the China-only Xplay, it's officially the first smartphone to pack a crazy 2K resolution display, setting the bar for the kind of high-res panels we're likely to see in premium smartphones next year.

Cluster for iPhone Review

Apps that put a visual gimmick on familiar productivity tools don't typically stroke my interest. Most productivity tools, from calendars to lists, tend to work better in a simple format, with decorative items serving to clutter things up or slow things down. Cluster is an app that attempts to put a visual spin to digital planning and task management. Does it work? We'll see. The Good Surprisingly, we like the idea behind the app. Adding […]
HTC One Max Review
In Phone Reviews / By Noel /
Remember when the Galaxy Note first hit the scene and some people complained there's no way anyone will want a phone that big? Yeah, time has proven them wrong. In fact, the big-screen smartphone market has evolved into a very profitable niche. HTC made their official entry into giant screens with the HTC One Max. Like many handsets in the same category, it comes with premium pricing to go with that supersized screen real estate. […]
Motorola Moto G Review

Easily one of the best smartphone values in the market right now, the Motorola Moto G caused quite a bit of excitement when it was announced a short while back. While the price and specs combo is definitely attractive, will it be solid enough to satisfy your smartphone needs?

Blackberry Z30 Review
In Phone Reviews / By Noel /
While Blackberry's newest flagship phone no longer carries the same high-profile as other manufacturer's top-of-the-line offering, that doesn't mean the Blackberry Z30 is something to immediately pass up. Or does it? Design In terms of design, the Z30 looks like any premium smartphone, with rounded corners, predominantly black shell, silver accents, and soft-touch back. Far as we can tell, there's really no distinguishing feature that makes it a "Blackberry" as opposed to some other handset, […]
Nokia Lumia 525 Announced
Nokia has announced a new affordable smartphone. Called the Nokia Lumia 525, it's the Microsoft subsidiary's follow-up to the widely popular Lumia 520. As a successor to the 520, it doesn't veer too far from the similarly mid-range smartphone. It takes on near the same dimensions (119 x 64 x 9.9 mm), with a similar styling. This time around, however, it comes with changeable covers in black, orange, yellow and white colors. Details of the […]
Spaceteam Review
In Android Apps, App Reviews / By Noel /
Rarely will you find a game nowadays that feel super-original. When you do, however, it feels really special. And that's genuinely the case with the clever multiplayer game, Spaceteam. What makes it so different? First, this is a multiplayer-only game — there's no single player mode. Second, it's local-only multiplayer played via WiFi or Bluetooth — no remote multiplayer over an internet connection. Third and most importantly, it's downright hilarious, making for an entertaining party […]

The Google Nexus 5 is arguably the best smartphone deal in the land right now, with its combination of high-end specs and very affordable pricing. But is it the right Android smartphone for you?

While it takes over your whole hand, it does have a […]
Motorola Moto G Announced
What's the best smartphone deal around today? Signs kind of point towards the Nexus 5, with its top-end specs and relatively affordable price. Well, that could be seriously challenged soon with the Motorola Moto G, which combines somewhat impressive specs, sleek design, and a surprisingly low price point. Loved the Moto X's design? Then you'll love this one, which appears to have coopted the styling of the Google subsidiary's flagship smartphone. Even better, it embraces […]

Transfer student
- 0Apr 23, '13 by missrosyHello! Does anyone have an answer here? I want to transfer from my pre-nursing program in NY to a nursing degree program in MA (tuition is lower AND it's a better school). If I get my degree in MA would it be fairly simple to be registered as a nurse in NYS? Or am I just setting myself up for headaches. TY!
- 0Apr 24, '13 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNYou can take NCLEX in any state once you have graduated from an accredited program that's accepted by the state you're going to. State 1 will let you take NCLEX if you graduate from a program that state 1 approves, but then when you move to state 2, state 2 might not accept your RN because state 2's BoN doesn't approve that program.
Short answer, go to school in MA (Welcome! We like it here!) after you check with the NYS BoN that they approve the MA school (they probably will). Then when you are about to graduate, fill out the app for NYS, get your transcript sent to them and all that, and arrange to take your NCLEX there for your NYS license after you move. OR, you can take your NCLEX in MA and then get the NY license by reciprocity and have both. Costs more, though.

MONROE COUNTY, N.Y. -- The woman accused of providing guns used in the Christmas Eve ambush in Webster is expected to appear in court today. Dawn Nguyen is scheduled to appear in Henrietta Town Court.
She is charged with knowingly making a false statement in connection with the purchase of two firearms resulting in the deaths of the two firemen.
The U.S. Attorney's office says Nguyen bought a semi-automatic rifle and a .12 gauge shotgun for William Spengler from Gander Mountain back in June of 2010.
If convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of up to ten years in prison.

Sept 17, 2012 Republican Scott Brown running in Massachusetts, a state that is historically Democratic in federal elections, finds himself in hot water with women voters and a deceptive record of anti-women legislation.
An new slick ad by the Brown campaign omits his voting record on women's issues and how his policies would reduce healthcare coverage for Massachusetts women.
After electing a republican Senator for the first time in a long history of voting for Ted Kennedy the godfather of healthcare reform for all Americans, Scott Brown has sided with less healthcare for those who need it desperately.
Americans have gone into foreclosure and bankruptcy nationally due to a trip to the hospital for a medical condition, and this cannot be tolerated. Insurance companies have enjoyed massive profits from Americans but have insisted on denying coverage to women, and to what they call preexisting conditions. One such condition is pregnancy, which just points out the absurdity of allowing an industry to decide: who gets coverage and who does not qualify.
Scott Brown has made statements saying he is pro-choice but is he pro-women? Good question. Scott Brown's campaign ads declare he is "Pro-Women" however the problems of his voting record prove otherwise.
Scott Brown's challenger is Elizabeth Warren, one powerful woman who stood up to Wall Street, initiated and framed the Consumer Rights Bill that prevents gouging by big banks and credit card companies.
Elizabeth Warren points out the lopsided voting record of Scott Brown who supports Mitt Romney's stand on repealing and destroying the ACA- Affordable Heathcare Act designed on the Romneycare bill he passed for Massachusetts as a Governor.
Since the Affordable Heathcare Act was passed in 2010, most of the plan has not even been implemented yet.
Some preliminary statistics show the benefits to Massachusetts residents:
70,000 residents saved on average $638.00 on prescription drugs, a savings especially for the elderly.
780,000 persons on Medicare received additional benefits of free preventive care which reduces long-term costs. i.e.) Mammograms and colonoscopies.
1.3 Million have received added preventive care on private insurance plans without cost sharing.
20,000 young teens were added to their parents plans and now receive healthcare coverage.
85,000 Massachusetts families now received rebates under the ACA which requires insurance companies to pay out for health care based on premiums they receive from the insured.
All of these benefits -Scott Brown wants to repeal in the next session January 1, 2013 and if Mitt Romney is elected, they will all be null and voided. Scott Brown is firmly opposed to the ACA and sides with less healthcare coverage to women, as his record and statements have proven.
Most of the ACA helps women, helps single women, helps elderly women, helps working women, and helps children in the long run by keeping their breadwinners and sole parents healthy. In the long term money spent on healthcare keeps a country's GDP healthier also. A nation such as the United States one of the most powerful in the world to have such a dismal health care plan, is disgraceful.
Scott Brown voted YES On the Blunt Amendment: which eliminates preventive care such as breast exams for cancer, contraception and mammograms and even prenatal care for pregnant women.
Scott Brown voted YES On defunding Planned Parenthood -another blow against women and their healthcare especially for low-income women.
Scott Brown voted Yes to stop funding under the Stupak-Pitts Amendment of the Affordable Heathcare Act which stopped funding for abortions and any healthcare for women provided by the government.

NASDAQ paints a picture that, at times, is grim; at others, uplifting. But there's no doubt: Tech companies that were riding a huge wave of prosperity just one year ago are now trying to plan for the erratic ebb and flow of a slightly less confident economy. Does that mean potential dotcoms have decided to wait for the next big wave? Hardly. Internet start-ups are still popping up in large numbers, and fueling those businesses are investors wanting to get in on the game. One of the fastest-growing areas of investment is the incubator.
As the name implies, start-up companies still in the "egg" come to incubators to get hatched. Armed with nothing but their experience and an idea, entrepreneurs can be in business overnight if selected by an incubator company. Entrepreneurs who would have started out in the garage can now start their companies in fully furnished offices with phone lines and servers, some cash if needed and high-level mentors just down the hall.
Today's incubators are a different breed than their predecessors. Whereas incubators were once the purview of universities and small-business organizations that typically charged entrepreneurs fees for their services, most new incubators are for-profit entities that help you in exchange for a piece of your company.
Choosing incubation over angel or venture capital financing means choosing different risks and rewards. Angels and VCs don't help as much on a day-to-day basis; the incubator, however, is always there. The incubator staff fills needed functions, freeing you up to focus on your com-pany's larger goals and strategies.
But you give up substantial equity with for-profit incubators. Tyler Orion, executive director of the Pacific Incubation Network, a San Jose, California, incubation organization that serves all Pacific Rim incubators, emphasizes the need to investigate for-profit incubators. "In for-profits, you'll give up 50 to 75 percent of equity," Orion says. "You have to carefully evaluate what you get and what it's worth. You cannot presume you're going to get what is promised. And you should talk to one of the companies they're working with."
Steve Sanford, CEO and co-founder of Icebox.com, and Peter Gumbel, editor in chief of Business.com, say their incubator experiences were invaluable in moving their companies forward in the competitive world of the Internet.

Mango with Sticky Rice
It's mango season here in Thailand, and the best way to enjoy them is to pair the sweet fruit with sweet and salty coconut-milk sticky rice. Khao Nieow Ma-muang is a very popular dessert with both Thais and foreign visitors, and the first sweet we're adding to the site. Enjoy!
- Soak the sticky rice for at least an hour before steaming.
- Steam for 20 minutes on medium-high in a sticky rice steamer. If you don't have a sticky rice steamer, you can try steaming in a bowl in a covered saucepan with an inch of water at the bottom of the pan. You could also try using a regular steamer, but cover the holes with cheese cloth or muslin cloth so that the rice doesn't fall through.
- While steaming, prepare the sauce for the rice. Add the 1/2 cup of coconut milk to a saucepan along with the 1 1/3 tablespoons sugar & 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir over low heat until dissolved. Set aside.
- Prepare the topping sauce as well. In another small saucepan, add the 1/4 cup coconut milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt, and stir over low heat until dissolved. Mix the tapioca starch with a little bit of water in a small bowl until a paste, then add as well. Mixing the starch beforehand will prevent any lumps from forming in the sauce. Stir until thickened, and remove from heat.
- When the rice is finished, spread out in a shallow bowl and cover with 1/2 the thin sauce (the sauce you made first). Stir well and keep adding more until you reach saturation point. Depending on the rice used, it should be around 75% of the sauce. You may need to use it all. You don't want very wet rice, it should be somewhat dry and sticky. Don't add until it's submerged, but keep in mind that the rice will absorb some of the liquid. I usually add until just before I see puddles of coconut milk. Stir well and cover with a towel. Let the rice absorb the coconut milk for 10-15 minutes.
- Slice mango as shown and arrange on a plate. Spoon an equal amount of sticky rice next to it, and top with a few spoons of the thicker sauce. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or fried salty mung beans.
The best mango to eat with this dish is called 'Naam Dok Maai' (flower nectar mango), which is available in South East Asia. In many Asian groceries in the West you can find a yellow-skinned mango which is skinny and pointy. This works a lot better than the round, red/orange mangoes from Mexico & the Caribbean, which are not anywhere near as yummy as the Asian mangoes.
Make sure you use sticky rice and not regular Thai rice in this dish. Sticky rice is sometimes called glutinous rice. The grains are whiter and fatter than regular rice.
Do not refrigerate the sweet sticky rice — it turns into a rock-hard mess which tastes awful. If you have to make it ahead of time, just leave it out on the counter. It'll last for a few hours no problem.
Chao Koh brand coconut milk is the best to use in this dish. If you can find it in a paper carton, it's better than a can. If you cannot find Chao Koh, do not, by any means use a brand of coconut milk that does not originate from Thailand. The local supermarket variety will ruin this dish!
I really like a slightly cold mango with slightly warm rice. It compliments the sweet & salty of the dish. Mmmm!
Ingredients: What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup raw sticky rice
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (chao koh brand, shaken)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds or salted fried mung beans (optional)
- 1 sweet, ripe yellow mango
...And The Sauce:
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (chao koh brand, shaken)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon tapioca starch (optional)

When my mom bought Khao Nieow Ma-muang, I like to eat only Khao Nieow with Kati ^^
Coming over from Tastespotting…What a great step-by-step! Looks delicious!
My favourite "yello mango with sweet sticky rice" is at "Mae Waree" in Soi Thonglor.
Their Mangoes come in variety of ranges and the sweet sticky rice is not too sweet. Just how I like mine to taste like.
I, personally, never try to cook the sweet sticky rice.
Oh well… I will try your recipe … this weekend maybe.
: )
my mother used to make this for us. I grew up eating sweet sticky rice with magoes and banana..However, now as an adult I seem to have forgot how to make this simple dish. I have a regular rice cooker..will that work to cook the sticky rice?
Thanks! I have sweet rice soaking now to use tomorrow. I went to the Asian market near me, But no sticky rice steamer there. I am going to try your method with either the bowl or the cheesecloth. I am also craving some Bua Loi..mmmm. Will post with my results:)
O.K..I made it and the results were fantastic!
Thanks for the idea of using a cheesecloth with my regular steamer! This only costed me 3 dollars! Also since my husband is diabetic I used half sugar and half Splenda and it came out wonderful. You couldnt tell the difference! Next I am going to move on to the banana and sticky rice, since I can't find banana leaf I am going to see if I can use non stick aluminum foil. I can't wait to see your recipe for the bui loi! Glad I came across your webpage. Thanks again!
I recently came back from a trip to Thailand and missed authentic sticky rice……. Thank you so much for this recipe!!! I make it now and it always brings back those wonderful memories of my trip (where I probably ate 10 kilos of mango sticky rice, lol!). I can't find the good golden mangos like I ate there, but it's close. : )
Thank you for the recipe! I think I'll try it out this weekend. We also have some mangoes at my workplace, so I might make some extra rice to bring to my workplace.
I'm wondering what's the best way to keep the rice if I can't eat it immediately? I don't want to have to wake up really early to make it before leaving for work, it will be nice to be able to pre-make some on the weekends instead.
You mentioned not to keep the rice in the fridge, how about if I keep it in an airtight container in the fridge and maybe microwave(!!) it slightly before eating, as I normally do with normal rice?
OMG mango sticky rice soooooooo goood.
Beautiful Website! Can't wait to try this recipe tonight!
That sounds so great, I wish I can make it!
This is my favorite fruit dessert! I love it, and I need to make it again soon! Thanks for sharing the recipe and great instructional photos.
I was wondering how many this portion will feed? 2? I'm planning a dinner party in two weeks and would love to make this. Thanks!
These are by far my favorite mangoes, they are the only kind I can get in Hong Kong. Here in America I find they are commonly called Champagne Mangoes, usually shipped from the Philippines.
Wonderful website. Greetings from Germany. Look at http://www.eatchacha.com!
beautiful website! I have a rice cooker, so that makes the steaming rice part a breeze. I used stevia as a substitute for sugar, and frozen mangoes from Trader Joe's. I just used one can of Chaokoh coconut milk, even though the recipe requires for a little bit more, and I still enjoyed the result. I'm glad this recipe yields a good small portion for 1-2 people. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I couldn't find a sticky rice steamer in Chinatown (Boston) and I don't have any suitable cloths, so I used a regular steamer and laid down some paper towels to hold the rice. It worked all right, at least well enough for me to pig out :p
i'd say the best mangoes for this recipe is champagne mangoes!!!
Beautiful site! Thank you for sharing this recipe. Two questions – can I use a regular rice cooker for the sticky rice? Also, which rice brands would you recommend? Is it usually in a bag labeled sweet rice? So many rice types to choose from!
Thanks again!
OMG… mango with sticky rice was introduced to me by a Thai friend here in the States, years ago. I figure it was as authentic as a Thai restaurant could get since all the local Thais went there.
Long story short – I am utterly addicted to mango with sticky rice.
Never sure if I should eat it, or just roll around in it.
Thank you so much for this recipe! Choosing the right coconut milk is really crucial in preparing this beautiful & delicious Thai delicacy! I used to buy coconut milk in can because the options are really limited in Melbourne Asian grocery. Although I couldn't find the Chao Koh brand, I took your advice in choosing the one made in Thailand and in paper carton, and, most importantly 100% coconut milk (not a mix of water, starch or other ingredients)! It was so so so easy to make this dish (my favorite Thai dessert that I longed for) by following your recipe. And it was yummy!
After spending two weeks in Phnom Pehn, Cambodia on a mission trip I found that my favorite dessert is Mango with Sticky Rice. Upon returning I had a craving for it and must say that this recipe was PERFECT!!! I served it to my parents and they loved it also.
Kudos to the owner of this recipe and thank you so much for sharing it with the rest of the world!
How do you make the salted fried mung beans? My favorite topping!!
Hey I am loving this blog! I just got back from Thailand and I am determined to recreate some of the fine dishes I sampled whilst over there. I love the place (been there over 8 times!).
Thank you for your beautiful site!
Hi, I'm from Singapore but have been traveling regularly to Thailand since I was very little as I have family there. I love mango sticky rice and would love to try to make it soon. Thanks so much for the recipe!! I have family in Bangkok and hatyai (south Thailand) and I got to say the best sticky rice I've ever tried was from a Thai-Chinese street vendor in hatyai. I last saw her when I was like 9, but I loved her rice so much I still remember her face! She had a magic ingredient. I think she adds a dash of jasmine essence into the coconut milk, and trust me, it makes all the difference. It was orgasmic. Now I'm 31 and have never eaten sticky rice as wonderful as hers since childhood!
Oh, one more thing. In South East Asia we have lots of this fragrant plant called pandan (or pandanus) leaf. We use it a lot in making desserts as it imparts a heavenly delicate fragrance great with sweet stuff. Stick a leaf or two into the coconut milk when simmering it. Otherwise, boiled coconut milk can taste quite plain. Not sure if you can find it in the west tho. It's a hot weather tropical plant that grows easily in a small pot. When I'm eating pandan waffles (made with juice squeezed from the leaves), my cats will demand their share too!
What a great suggestion! Thanks! I don't have the plant itself but pandan flavoring in now available and I have a small bottle in my pantry. Hubby just came home with a box of Manila mangoes from the farmers market. Now I'm wanting to try and make this.
How much does this serve? I want to serve about 10 people
This recipe served 3 for me, but I probably ate two servings myself. It was fantastic!
Thanks for the recipe, I am from Malaysia and been to Bangkok on April 2011. Tried my first sticky rice with mango at Mandarin Oriental Bangkok and the taste was fantastic. The very first thing on my mind went I woke up on the next day is to look for sticky rice with mango and I ate it again during my trip to floating market…
Love it and will definitely try to cook it by myself.
Do you have recipe for fried banana as well?
Hello from France, I made it and we enjoy so much that I will be obliged to do make it again !! Thanks for the recipe
how to cook the fried salty mung beans?
how to cook fried salty mung beans? I prefer the mung beans rather than sesame.
I love this dish, my absolute favourite in Thailand.
I have to disagree, leaving it overnight in the fridge and then have it for breakfast the next day.. absolutely delish..
Granted, not as perfect as when just made but lovely none the less.
Great recipe..
Thanks for sharing

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
