Sweet Rice Question
I cook many different kinds of rice very reliably in my stainless steel pans, but met my match this weekend when I tried cooking Thai Sweet Rice, a white "long grain" variety, that I purchased in a Vietnamese grocery store. I say "long grain" in quotes only because the package said long grain, but it was a far shorter grain than Basmati and looked more like arborio. It tasted fine, but it looked glooey, and gooey and shiny, even after all the water was absorbed. Really sticky and translucent. It practically turned into mortar after I stuck some of the leftovers in a plastic container and put it in the fridge.
Is this the way it is supposed to turn out? Would rinsing or using a rice cooker, which I have been adverse to buying, be a better way to cook this stuff? It does not look like Jasmine rice, which is more like what I would have expected.
re: hannaone
Ah -- that may be the trick. How long do you steam it?
re: RGC1982
That depends on how much rice. Generally around 45 minutes. You can check for tenderness when steaming.
re: hannaone
Recipes for the black sticky rice recommend soaking it (overnight) before steaming. The soak may be more important with this rice that still has the bran.
re: hannaone
Agreed, I totally forgot to mention the soak! I try to soak for at least a few hours, or even better (if I remember) - overnight.
re: hannaone
I agree. "Sweet rice" (aka "glutinous rice") is particularly great for making Thai sticky rice, which is steamed. I looove sticky rice (preferably with a spicy Thai curry!) and use an inexpensive steamer pot and bamboo basket especially made for this purpose that I picked up at an Asian market. This is what it looks like: http://www.khiewchanta.com/archives/e...
You can also use sticky rice to make sticky-rice desserts or have it for breakfast mixed with coconut milk. More basics & ideas here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutinou...
Quick rice starch (simplistic) science primer:
Rice contains two types of starch; amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a longer chained starch and is less branched, giving a fluffier (because it doesn't stick together as much) product. Longer grained rice has a higher % of amylose than shorter grained. That's also why long grained rice, such as that with most chinese foods, tends to harden when chlled.
Shorter grained rice has, well, a higher % of amylopectin. Shorter chained and more "branchy", it's stickier. It's why short grained is preferred for sushi, because you can get it to stick together more easily without squishing it. Sweet rice has a *very* % high of amylopectin, so it's *really* sticky. When chilled the amylopectin in it makes it stick together. (It's also called "sticky" rice for a reason!)
Rinsing removes stickiness caused by surface starch, but doesn't alter the basic nature of the starch %.
I like using a rice cooker.
Soak it for at least an hour or two. I usually soak overnight. Drain, and steam. The steamer that's linked from kpzoo's post works really well. If you can't get that, you can try cheesecloth in a steamer and cross your fingers. Steaming for 20-30 minutes should be enough. The grains should be translucent somewhat (no longer white) all the way through.
Also, keep covered while eating. As the rice dries it gets really sticky and hard. And do not refrigerate.
I wrote a bit about making sticky rice here:
Scroll down to the sticky rice section.
And to further kpzoo's post, you can also make deserts. Like this one:
Good luck!
Sticky rice is great for certain deserts. I often make a Thai recipe where the rice is cooked in coconut milk and then baked in the oven with a peanut topping.
To soften up the rice that has hardened in the fridge, simply steam it again. It'll get moist and chewy in no time.

Gabrielle Union Delivers Powerful Speech At Essence's Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon
A few weeks ago, Gabrielle Union was one of the many powerful women who attended Essence's Black Women In Hollywood luncheon. Dressed in vintage Versace, she hit the stage to accept the fierce and fearless award, but it was her honesty and raw truth about Hollywood, her past insecurities and the need for fellow black actresses to stick together that became the highlight of the night.
Before, we featured an excerpt, however, here is the full speech below:
We live in a town that rewards pretending. I had been pretending to be fierce and fearless for a very long time. I was a victim masquerading as a survivor. I stayed when I should have run. I was quiet when I should have spoken up. I turned a blind eye to injustice instead of having the courage to stand up for what's right. I used to shrink in the presence of other dope beautiful women. I used to revel in gossip and rumors, and I lived for the negativity inflicted upon my sister actresses or anyone who I felt whose shine diminished my own.
It's easy to pretend 'to be fierce and fearless because living your truth takes real courage. Real fearless and fierce women admit mistakes and they work to correct them. We stand up and we use our voices for things other than self promotion. We don't stand by and let racism and sexism and homophobia run rapid on our watch. Real fearless and fierce women complement other women and we recognize and embrace that their shine in no way diminishes our light and that it actually makes our light shine brighter.
So many of us in this room are sisters. We don't always get to see each other and its good to see you here today. Women who we've laughed with, cried with, and struggled with, thank you for not turning your back on me, thank you for not tap dancing on my misery, even when I wasn't always returning the favor.
In an intimate sit down with Essence, when asked what does it mean to be a black woman in Hollywood, she responded:
It depends on the day. Today, it's about celebration, sisterhood and togetherness and lifting each other up. Tomorrow, when we are all back fighting for the same job, I hope we take some of this spirit into the room with us. When the light is shining on one, it really just makes the light shine brighter on all of us.
You can watch her speech in the video player on Essence's website.

(a) causes
boil the pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus based, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, are also caused by the disease. Local and systemic skin's resistance to infection is reduced mainly due to Benbingfasheng, so infants, malnutrition, diabetes is a good risk of this disease. Dirty skin, skin abrasions, high ambient temperatures often lead to local infection such as the direct cause.
(B) the pathogenesis
bacteria invade the hair follicle and their sebaceous glands and sweat glands, in hair follicles and surrounding tissue multiply rapidly, producing toxins, causing local tissue degeneration, necrosis, and the center of the formation of boils, the performance of local congestion, exudation, induration. Aggregation of neutrophils to the damaged body tissue cells and bacteria to be destroyed, and he gradually necrosis and dissolution, the formation of abscesses in the dermis. Due to Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase contain toxins, so the formation of pus bolt, protruding outward. Swelling and induration clinically visible in the center of a yellow-white pus plug. This is Staphylococcus aureus infected lesion characteristics. Ulceration after discharge pus, abscess gradually by the new fibrous tissue repair and healing.[Sign]

fever, swollen lymph nodes: furuncle serious infection, the local area of the lymph nodes, tenderness, and may be associated with body heat, and sometimes lymph node abscess formation.
nose, upper lip and around (called "dangerous triangle") of the surface boil, add or pushed in touch, the bacteria via the angular vein, ophthalmic vein into the brain, causing intracranial suppurative infection. At this point may have fever, headache, vomiting, consciousness disorders.

Senate Leaders and Committee Chairmen
The roster of Democratic leaders in the Senate looks unlikely to change in the 113th Congress, but several committees will have new chairmen. Five current chairmen are retiring, opening the door for more-junior Democrats to wield gavels. The possibility that President Obama will select Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts to serve as secretary of State could open up another slot. Barring a surprise, the chairmen of some of the powerhouse committees—including Appropriations and Finance—won't change. The list of likely and potential leaders is in the table below. An asterisk (*) denotes that the person who will be chairman in the new Congress currently holds the position.
Majority leader: Harry Reid, D-Nev.*
Majority whip: Dick Durbin, D-Ill.*
Democratic Policy and Communications Center chairman: Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.*
Democratic Conference secretary: Patty Murray, D-Wash.*
Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry: Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.,* who is fresh off reelection.
Appropriations: Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii*
Armed Services: Carl Levin, D-Mich.*
Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs: Tim Johnson, D-S.D.*
Budget: Patty Murray, D-Wash., is in line to succeed Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., who is retiring. Murray is fresh off a successful cycle as Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chairwoman and was cochair of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, known as the super committee, last year.
Commerce, Science, and Transportation: Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.*
Energy and Natural Resources: Ron Wyden, D-Ore., is in line to succeed Chairman Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., who is retiring.
Environment and Public Works: Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.*
Finance: Max Baucus, D-Mont.*
Foreign Relations: John Kerry, D-Mass.,* is considered a potential successor to Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of State. A Kerry exit from Congress would put Robert Menendez, D-N.J.—a hard-liner on relations with Cuba—in line for the post.
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions: Tom Harkin, D-Iowa*
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs: With Levin staying at the helm of Armed Services, Thomas Carper, D-Del., is in line to succeed Chairman Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., who is retiring.
Judiciary: Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.*
Rules: Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.*
Small Business and Entrepreneurship: Mary Landrieu, D-La.*
Veterans' Affairs: With Murray likely assuming the Budget gavel, her post on Veterans' Affairs is up for grabs. Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, are in the same class, but through a complicated formula, Sanders, who caucuses with Democrats, has slightly more seniority.
Indian Affairs: Chairman Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, is retiring, setting up a complex situation to succeed him: The next three most-senior members are either already chairmen or are also retiring. That puts Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., in the spotlight, but right behind her is Jon Tester, D-Mont., who was likely bolstered in his tough reelection bid on Tuesday by his state's large Native American population. Montana has fewer than 1 million residents, and Native Americans comprise more than 6 percent of them.
Select Ethics: Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.*
Select Intelligence: Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.*
Select Aging: Bill Nelson, D-Fla., has seniority to take over from Herb Kohl, D-Wis., who is retiring.

Professional athletes are definite role models for children, but adult athletes of all skill sets are able to positively motivate today's youth. There's a unique market that's allowing more and more athletes to entertain children while teaching them valuable life lessons: literature.
Such is the mindset of 25-year-old David Bagga, a walk-on member of the University of Arizona basketball team from 2005-09. Bagga wasn't the star of the team — he wasn't even a starter for his Mater Dei high school team in Santa Ana, Calif. — but he worked hard enough to earn a spot on Hall of Fame Coach Lute Olson's squad and became an instant fan favorite, and team chemistry commander.
His personal goals weren't too lofty — it was a long shot that he'd be a pro. He simply wanted to make the team and contribute as much as he could, to help the Wildcats get as far each season as possible. He tells his story in a children's book illustrated by Lizz Metcalf called The Bench Player That Could, which went on sale on Amazon.com Monday.
"My hopes are that a kid can pick it up, his or her parents can read it to them and they'll be inspired to never give up on what they want to do," Bagga said. "We all have dreams. I hope this book will be a launchpad for kids to believe they can achieve whatever they want. Hard work, determination and never giving up — the book is about all three of those wrapped together."
Bagga's children's book is the latest from many current and former athletes who have published books with children in mind. This past NBA offseason, New York Knicks center Amar'e Stoudemire went on a wide-spread media tour to promote his new book, STAT: Standing Tall and Talented. Former New York Giants standout Tiki Barber has published eight illustrated children's books with his brother, and Mia Hamm, Alex Rodriguez, George Foreman and Terrell Owens have all contributed to the same literary category. Even Dennis Rodman has gotten in on the fun, publishing "Dennis the Wild Bull" earlier this year, while Mets knuckleball pitcher R.A. Dickey will have two picture books out in spring 2014.
"Whether you're a bench player or a pro, we all have a unique story, whether it's me, Tiki Barber, Mia Hamm or Amar'e," Bagga said. "We want to impact kids' lives in some way or another. We want them to know how hard you have to work to accomplish your goals, and if they do, then they'll be ready for the hard work."
Bagga was very inspirational to fans and his teammates in college. He was very well known for enthusiastically waving a towel while on the bench, and his career hit an apex when he came off the bench in the final seconds of his Senior Day game and made a three-pointer to seal a win. The basket counted for three of just 25 total points he scored over four seasons, but it meant so much more to him.
"I felt like Rudy," he said with a laugh.
He said he was inspired to create the picture book after he continued to receive emails from fans of all ages telling him of his inspiration long after he had graduated. The stick figure drawing of him with a towel around his neck shooting a basket that he received in college was just as sweet. It was that drawing, in fact, that was the basis for the cover of the book. And though he isn't a professional athlete himself, the cover of Bagga's new book does have some familiar faces, including from left to right: Jerryd Bayless (Memphis Grizzlies), Jordan Hill (Los Angeles Lakers), Chase Budinger (Minnesota Timberwolves), Fendi Onobun (drafted in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams) and Olson.
Bagga, currently working for a software company in Southern California, published his first book in 2009, The Walk-On, and sold a few thousand copies. The book gave some insight to his life as a non-scholarship player on a highly-touted team. But his children's book, which is also slated to be released for the Kindle soon, is about a journey of finishing something he set out to do.
"It's a children's book, it rhymes and the premise is simple," Bagga said. "But the message is very strong, and I think kids will be able to relate to it."

Yeh no way I would use english if there was a choice. Western rigged ll the way. Simpler, just ring on the saddle on each side.
1. Suitable western girths for the trail are easier to find and cheaper
2. No billet straps to wear out that you can't replace. Tie straps are easy to replace.
3 much greater leverage in the tie strap easier to adjust.
4. Infinite adjustability. MY Aussi english style billets have two holes in them, one is called too loose, and the other is too tight to get the buckle tongue in.

7NEWS Exclusive: Sicknesses from synthetic marijuana called public health outbreak
At least 40 patients treated for symptoms
DENVER - Denver Public Health officials confirmed to 7NEWS Thursday that a series of illness linked to synthetic marijuana are now being treated as a public health outbreak.
At least 40 patients have shown up at metro Denver hospitals because of sickness in the last two weeks. Investigators are trying to determine if anyone has died from the substance in question.
Symptoms include psychotic episodes, seizures, difficulty breathing, nausea and vomiting.
"It means we're seeing a disease or people showing up for a condition above what we would normally see," said Karri Hobaica, emergency preparedness director at Denver Public Health. "We're seeing cases above levels that we should be seeing them at."
7NEWS has learned public health officials from across the state will share information Friday morning to determine where the case numbers stand and if there are any common links. Special notices have been sent to emergency rooms across the state notifying them of the health concern.
"We are just trying to get a handle on where this is coming from and why there are so many people sick all at once," said Hobaica.
The product in question is often known as "Black Mamba." However at this point investigators can't trace it to a single source said Hobaica.

Eye on the Scene
I, Audience
Every time The Two Man Gentleman Band comes through town, its members tell us that they're gonna challenge Knoxville to a friendly game of badminton. And, every time, we believe them, and we inevitably make some lame joke about shuttlecocks. After four trips to Knoxville, they've yet to play a single match.
This last time, banjoist/lead kazoo Andy Bean and upright bassist Fuller Condon played a set for a rambunctious crowd at Manhattan's in the Old City. They had just driven in from Kansas, but even though these bleary-eyed road warriors had been on tour for a month straight, they still came to the stage sporting giant smiles, the epitome of the Vaudevillian gentleman.
Cue the kazoo solo.
Local Film Review
Timetravel_0 (Fast Track Productions)
Scott Norwood has been in-state off and on since '95. He, along with his production company, Fast Track Productions, has been shooting just about anything he can get his hands on, from music videos to commercials to feature-length films. The latest thing to come out of his laboratory is Timetravel_0 , a phony documentary based on the Internet fiasco surrounding John Titor . Titor, if you've kept up with web lore, began to appear on message boards between 2000 and '01, claiming to be a time traveler from the year 2036.
In Norwood's film, we get Chris McCarthy , a documentary filmmaker who sets out to film a series of bland interviews, asking people their thoughts on the Titor phenomenon. It all goes according to plan until she comes into contact with some wannabe soldiers who claim to be Titor's lieutenants.
The film drags on for nearly 40 minutes, until it immediately drops the documentary act and turns into a B-thriller. There's a government conspiracy. Some well-armed and needlessly bitchy soldiers from the future give McCarthy several tongue-lashes when she shows up at Titor's compound in Florida. The climax is overstaged, like something out of Commando , without any special effects or heavy machinegun fire. And, to top it off, John Titor finally shows up, wearing a camouflage bandanna over his face, trying his best to appear more staid than Charlton Heston ever dreamed.
But, in the end, it's a kitschy fantasia, a quick romp through Internet lore. It's not the best movie to come from Fast Track Productions, but it's a testament to Norwood and his crew, because they've never been afraid to try something that they've never done before.
â"Li'Lâ" David Teague Hits it BIG
Longtime Knoxville scenesters of the punk/metal persuasion will certainly remember David Teague , the white-hot lead guitarist of ur -level hardcore gods, Koro , who went on to spearhead several other happening acts including The Wedge, Aftershock, and Do Or Die. Well, Mr. Teague has long since left town, creating a niche for himself as a Los Angeles musician in a series of high-profile bands. Let's take a look at a truncated version of his past and present:
Dave's first era in the spotlight was with Muzza Chunka, a group that signed to Arista imprint Rowdy Records to release 1993's Fishy Pants . The band played wild shows in every dive from coast to coast, hitting Knoxville for an especially anarchic show at the fabled Mercury Theatre .
After several tours, Muzza Chunka went the way of the dinosaurs and Teague joined L.A. punk stalwarts, The Dickies, a group that is arguably the longest-running American punk act in existence. â"I tried out, and knew the songs better than [Dickies' guitarist/songwriter] Stan Lee , and he said, â'You're in,'â" says Teague. â"Stan gave me the nickname, Li'l Dave. â" In the ensuing decade or so, the band played all over the world, several times over.
Still a member of The Dickies, Teague is involved in several other projects including Witch's Tit , with fellow Knox ex-pat, Don â"Maddogâ" Rutherford. â"We're good friends and we've been writing songs for years,â" says Teague. â"The problem is, we are both so busy. Dave describes the band as â"something that is true to our roots: thrash, punk, hardcore with some leads.â"
Dave is planning a trip to Canada to try out for metal band Zimmer's Hole . And a Witch's Tit record is in the works. Look for Dave on television with The Dickies on the Starz network on September 16. They'll appear on Too Tough To Die , a film that documents a memorial concert for none other than Johnny Ramone.

Singapore is such a tiny island, which makes it really easy to have mundane weekends. That is why you have to actively look for new things to do and new places to hang out at. That is also why I often miss Jakarta. Despite the unbearable traffic, you can always escape to nearby cities to eat good food and have a change of ambiance. And better yet, you can do all those things way more cheaply.
Our destination last Saturday was a boutique beach club with blue daybeds, white sands, and model-esque girls playing with their pooches. "Sweet bikini babes!" said Jason, 36, a banker.
"Well, you have a sweet tooth, help yourself to one," replied Katy, 26, a stock broker. The conversation quickly evolved to whether Jason would end up going home with one of the tanned slender girls.
"I did talk to one of them, you see, and she was a complete turn-off. A gold-digger. If you live here long enough, you'll be able to tell. They speak with the same fake accent, same tone," he said.
"Wow, that was a quick classification," I chimed in, after sipping my peach bellini. "Like you girls don't make snap judgments. Don't you have your own system for classifying guys, too?" he said. Jason continued talking about how women like to make up their minds about a guy right away, by categorizing him into a specific group.
"A platonic friend, potential boyfriend, sex buddy, one-night stand, hot two-week fling…" Jason listed all his examples.
"I guess I agree to some extent. I just can't date a friend. It feels like dating your own brother," I replied.
Katy laughed and said that I got the causality wrong, "You put them in the friend zone because you didn't feel the chemistry. So, it's not that you would never date a friend. It's just that your "friends" simply don't have the materials to be your lover to begin with. Of course they'd never escape the zone." I nodded, signaling her to keep talking.
"I've pretty much done it all. I dated a best friend, once. I've definitely dated strangers who were, as you put it, "potential boyfriends". And, you already knew that I slept with Daniel months before we started dating." She smiled. "I have to say that among these three methods, the relationship I had with my best friend felt the most fulfilling."
On Sunday, I went to brunch with Tim, 25, an economist, and told him about this idea of classification and everything that happened at the beach.
"I'd say that there are actually two tick boxes that we guys use. One's for relationship and the other one's for sex. What's interesting is that the two have nothing to do with each other. Just because you've labeled someone as 'not relationship material,' it doesn't mean you wouldn't sleep with her," Tim stipulated.
"Let say, there are two close friends who are completely platonic. One night, the girl randomly throws herself at the guy. If she's a "yes" on the sex box, he will not refuse, even though she's already a definite "no" on the relationship box.
"I think guys, for the most part, are aware of this. This is probably why guys attach less emotional significance to sex. We see sex and emotional attachment as almost completely independent of each other, and just consider ourselves lucky if we can find both with the same person."
I figured that I could totally use a cute economist to figure out things like this every time. While walking to our favorite gelato place, I couldn't help but wonder: Have all of our relationship problems originated from something this simple?
I could imagine what would happen if Tim's hypothetical story is reversed. If she wasn't already grossed out, the girl would most probably be too busy thinking about what would happen to their friendship the next morning. It's only natural for most of us, women, to put relationship and sex in the same tick box as we are more prone to emotional attachment. So, if we want to sleep with someone we know, we want it to last for a long time, preferably confined in a loving relationship frame.
Tim and I were disappointed to find the gelato stall closed. Nonetheless, I still felt a little lighter that day, and perhaps a little amused. It's funny how such a simple difference of perception can cause so many problems in so many lives.
Anahita helps decipher the intricacy of relationships by keeping it real.

The game had already seen four goals and a red card when Danny Pugh's heavy challenge on Inigo Calderon - and subsequent booking - sparked a furious reaction from the visiting bench.
In the ensuing bust-up, which involved players and staff from both benches, Owls boss Jones was sent to the Hillsborough stands as stewards and police tried to restore order.
The FA announced in a statement on their website: "The charges, both for alleged improper conduct, are in relation to an incident which occurred during the game."
Jones and Oatway each have until 4pm on Friday to respond to the charge.
