Chapter 10 Reviews
Dinner with Byakuya, Renji, Jushiro and Toshiro was a very interesting thing. Especially when Ichigo gets angry with Byakuya and demands for a fight.
She shrugged before going into her bathroom and soon all you heard was rushing water. Five minutes later she was out of the shower and back into her room with only a towel wrapped around her breast and waist. She had a hand towel and was using it to dry her short purple hair. She walked to a ancient carved dresser and pulled a drawer open.
She pulled out black lacy underwear and a matching bra. After making sure her door was alone Rukia stripped to her bare skin. Her body was shaped nicely, her hips curvy, stomache thin and her breasts nice and full. She slipped inside of her underwear before putting on her bra. She then slipped inside of her black kimono and tied her obi in a bow around her waist.
She looked on top of her cabinet to see a golden bracelet with a amethyst stone carved into the middle, given to her for her birthday by her nee-sama. She slipped it onto one of her wrists and then put a necklace on with her initials on it, which they were made of silver. When she was satisfied she slipped her sandles on and walked down the stairs only to be met by Byakuya at the end.
"The others are patiently awaiting your arival." Byakuya said glancing over her quickly and showed no emotion which made Rukia's heart drop in disappointment. She suddenly blushed deep red when he whispered," You look nice, Rukia... You aren't trying to impress one of those three boys are you?" "Of course not, nee-sama." Rukia answered flushing.
Byakuya didn't do anything as he held out his arm and escorted her into the dining room. Ichigo and the others gasped at the sight of Rukia, while Jushiro, chuckled and said," I should have known, Byakuya would spoil you rotten if he got the chance, Rukia." Rukia sent him a evil look as she said politely," He isn't spoiling me Captain Jushiro."
Toshiro rolled his eyes and asked," Captain Kuchiki, do you think it was wise bringing Captain Ukitake here?" Byakuya looked at him coldly as he answered," There is no reason for him not to be here." "Aren't you just a cold cocky bastard?!" Ichigo asked snapping at Byakuya and Rukia stiffled back a gasp as Orihime reprimanded softly," Ichigo-kun, don't say things like that in a guest house."
Byakuya barely glanced at Ichigo before he replied," You are a little boy with no manners and can't be even civil in my house, when I didn't have to even invite you in." "That's it! We'll settle our differences with our swords!" Ichigo exclaimed and Uryu shook his head sighing as Orihime looked at Ichigo with worry and Jushiro and Toshiro looked amused.
"He's asking for it alright." Toshiro muttered softly and Jushiro just nodded his head in agreement. Byakuya didn't even say anything as he just stared at a fairly pissed Ichigo. Rukia shook her head and hoped for the best when it was most likely going to be the worst. "Don't break the dishes boy and maybe i'll fight with you after dinner. You are scarying quite a few girls." Byakuya said calmly and coldly.
Ichigo blinked and looked at the girls before settling down and he mumbled," Sorry." Byakuya ate calmly and when he was finished he waited patiently for Rukia to finish. Once she was done Byakuya said," We will be having... a ball of sorts to celebrate, Rukia's birthday." Ichigo blinked shocked before he thought," Rukia's birthday is coming up?! Why didn't she tell us?!"
Rukia looked at Byakuya blinking slightly surprised but mastered her expression as she asked calmly," Who's idea was it, nee-sama?" Byakuya looked towards her and met her gaze calmly as he answered," Mine." "Like someone like you could come up with a idea like that much less go through with it." Ichigo spat out towards him bitterly.
Rukia looked towards him stunned before she narrowed her eyes slightly in regret and anger as she said firmly," Ichigo, stop! Don't talk to my nee-sama, like that, and in his own house. He rules this house and anything he says is law here." Ichigo looked at her shocked and thought," Rukia has changed so much here... he's changed her! She's like her brother!"
Rukia stood up when Byakuya stood up and bowed a little as she said," Nee-sama." Byakuya nodded his head and said," Rukia. I'll see you later." He just barely nodded his head towards the others before he walked outside and disappeared into darkness. Rukia looked towards Ichigo who was staring at her blankly and she said softly," Ichigo... i'm sorry. It's just that.... you were being so disrespectful."
"It's nothing for you to apologize about, Rukia. It wasn't your fault he was being a stupiid, stubborn jackass." Junshiro said leaning forward and a vein throbbed in Ichigo's temple but before he could do anything Junshiro, suddenly leaned forward and started coughing. "Captain Junshiro!" Rukia said shocked and took a step towards him.
She stopped when he lowered his hands to see blood splattered over them. "Nothing to worry about, Rukia. I'll be fine with a nights rest. You wouldn't mind helping me to my usual room, would you, though?" Junshiro asked calmly as he grabbed his napkin and wiped his hands free of blood and then his mouth. "Of course i'll help you, Captain." Rukia answered and moved towards him.
Toshiro stood up and put one of Junshiro's arms around his shoulders and Rukia went to his other side. She put her hands around his waist and nodded towards the others as she said," You may stay or come. I'll be back after we place, Captain, into his room and in bed so that he can rest." "You should probably tell, Captain Kuchiki what's happened." Toshiro stated.
Rukia nodded and they started walking away. Ichigo and the others followed worried for the sickly man. Rukia released one hand and opened a dark oak wood door to reveal a light room even in the dark. Rukia and Toshiro moved forward and placed him sitting on the bed. "Do you need help, Captain, or can you take care of yourself from here?" Rukia asked blankly yet respectfully.
"I'm fine, Rukia, Toshiro. Thank you for helping me, both of you." Junshiro said bowing his head slightly in respect and Toshiro said," It was nothing, besides we can't have another Captain end up dying, and we need you." Rukia bowed and when he motioned for them to leave they did, and Rukia looked at him while closing the door behind her.

Three years of war, 190,000 dead, three million refugees. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is witness to the human suffering behind the statistics. The war leaves its mark beyond Syria, in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq, as physical and psychological wounds scar its refugees. MSF teams deliver medical services to Syrian refugees in these bordering countries. See the Reach of War: http://reachofwar.msf.org/More >
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) opened a clinic inside this camp sheltering 12,400 Syrian refugees in northern Iraq in September. MSF teams provided nearly 4,000 consultations in October, a third of them for children. As winter sets in MSF is even more concerned about the refugees' health.More >
In Jordan, where Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) treats patients who need specialized surgical and rehabilitative care, a project originally designed for Iraqis now also includes people from several other nations, including Yemen, Libya, and Syria.More >
The high number of Syrians registering as refugees at the Domeez camp, near the city of Dohuk in the Kurdish region of Iraq, has overstretched the camp's capacity. Domeez camp was established in April 2012 and was initially designed to host 1,000 families. The population in the camp has now risen above 35,000 people, however. Despite the efforts of the local authorities, the level of assistance is clearly insufficient, and aid workers are struggling to keep up with the needs of all the residents. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is providing thousands of medical consultations every day, has supplied families with water and hygiene kits, and is planning a measles vaccination campaign.More >
Broadcast through ARTE (Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne) television network in December 2009, Scars of War, or Les blessures de la guerre d'Irak, is a 20-minute documentary focused on war-wounded Iraqi patients inside MSF's reconstructive surgery project in Amman, Jordan.More >

Cochran wins!
Clean sweep! No vote for Sherri or Dawn was read so I assume it was unanimous.
Cochran wins!
Clean sweep! No vote for Sherri or Dawn was read so I assume it was unanimous.
5 Cochran votes in a row (the last had to have been Erik). Does that mean it was unanimous?
Rudy looks great.
And it was ERIK's vote that did it. Thank you Jesus. I'm so happy.
Will you accept my dancing rose bro as a 'special powers' idol?
The little engine that could...
Love it!
"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment." -- Jane Austen
Congratulations to Cochran! A win well deserved.
Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted - John Lennon
Yes!!! Who knew the first time John asked Jeff to call him Cochran that he would be standing here as a winner of a Fans vs Favourites season? Not me!!!
Alcohol does not solve problems but neither does milk...
The best exercise in the world is to bend down and help someone up.
Second season in a row we have no third placer. Unless you do what I do and break that by challenge wins, in which Dawn would get the unofficial silver.
I would be happy dancing right now, but hubby doesn't like to know spoilers.

White Papers
Mi Casa en Los Estados Unidos: Millennials of the Border States
Summer 2014
The future is now: There really is a Latin in America. For well over a decade now, the nation's media has been buzzing with talk of a growing Latino-Hispanic influence in the U.S., and all numbers point to Hispanics becoming the country's majority ethnic/racial group in about 25 years. Spanish language and Hispanic culture run deep in the United States, especially in the border states, so we connected with 804 Hispanics and non-Hispanics ages 18 to 34 in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas to get their views on a range of everyday life issues. "Mi Casa" gathers hard data and the respondents' thoughts in a series of snapshots on topics including ethnic origins, geography, holidays and traditions, language, the American dream, food, family, home, cities, fashion, media, sports and more.

Storytelling 6 Ways: How to Tell Compelling Brand Stories—and How PR Can Help
March 2014
Brand storytelling is hardly a new concept. Even when advertising, packaging and in-person experiences were the sole touch points for marketers and consumers, companies created characters, tales—even full-blown plots—to communicate their product qualities and brand values to their audiences. What is new? The emerging technologies and tools that require a constant creation of content to fuel a variety of channels. In this latest white paper from Havas PR (this one from the Havas PR's Global Collective), we share six ways to tell compelling brand stories and give powerful examples for each—from Domino's Pizza's "Pizza Turnaround" in the "Own Up" section to Expedia's "Find Your Understanding" in the section we call "Tug Heartstrings—but Tread Carefully." The role of PR in helping to identify, shape and promote brand stories lies not only developing and driving a storytelling content strategy but also in getting those stories to the appropriate storytellers through their longtime relationships with editors, writers and journalists.

Being A Man: The Metrosexual Era a Decade On
February 2014
In 2003, Havas (then called Euro RSCG) adapted and popularized the "metrosexual" concept. We started creating buzz around the idea of metrosexual men, and a term that had languished almost unnoticed for years took on a life of its own and quickly spread around the world. Media coverage of the trend was so widespread that even U.S. presidential contenders used the term. Since then, Havas PR North America has ridden the wave of defining the softer side of men, including thought leadership in the form of white papers, blog posts, bylined articles, speaking engagements and more. The force behind metrosexual mania, Marian Salzman, who also co-wrote the book The Future of Men: The Rise of the Übersexual and What He Means for Marketing Today, is now CEO of Havas PR North America, which produced this white paper. Click on the button below to read more about how what it means to be a man has evolved over the past decade.
Newscrafting and Trendspotting
June 2012
Marian Salzman, @erwwpr's CEO and one of the world's top trendspotters, has observed some clear
patterns in our culture over her 20 years of sighting trends. One that she sees now is the new discipline of newscrafting, which incorporates the practice of trendspotting. "There's no ethical reason why we should not be actively involved in creating and crafting news," says Salzman in this latest white paper from @erwwpr. "In fact, there's every professional reason why we should be putting the best of our energy and ingenuity into being news creators and newscrafters for our clients." She continues: "PR firms have a massive opportunity to go way beyond the old practice of pitching the news to become masters of newscrafting—a mix of putting out routine news in more compelling ways, creating news opportunities and coattailing relevant breaking news. Trendspotting is ideal for all these purposes." Download the PDF to find out more.
American Audit: A Walk Down Uneasy Street
November 2011
In summer 2011, Euro RSCG Worldwide commissioned a global Prosumer research study, surveying more than 7,000 adults in 19 countries. This white paper looks at the findings from the U.S. sample of 500 people, examining the cultural and social context in which Americans live, work, communicate and consume. Through their answers to 120-plus questions about what motivates them, inspires them, scares them and bores them, we see heightened concerns about people's health, well-being, even the structure of society. But we also find that despite a decade of hard knocks, most Americans are optimistic that things will get better. Against the backdrop of our world of overstimulation and constant communication, of occupied Wall Street and unemployed Main Street, "American Audit: A Walk Down Uneasy Street" explores trendsightings in half a dozen areas and the opportunities that sit on the horizon for brands and causes.
American Companies Unlimited: What Citizens United v.
Federal Election Commission Means for Companies' Political Campaign Spending
June 2011
We set out to learn how Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the landmark Supreme Court ruling on corporate contributions, affects political- and issues-related communications during election cycles. In short, for the first time in more than 60 years, corporations and unions are now allowed to give unlimited amounts of money from their treasuries for political advertisements and broadcasting—even to companies owned by foreign corporations. Before any corporation or union elects to invest large sums in any specific candidate or issue, though, it will need to know more about the challenges and opportunities of this decision (both of which this thought paper covers), so that its outreach tactics don't adversely affect its business or create a public backlash. "American Companies Unlimited" also explains the major arguments of the ruling, reactions from U.S. senators and congressmen, key points that will affect businesses and possible political implications.
Love (and Sex) in the Age of Social Media
February 2011
Is social media redefining love? That's the theme of our latest study. We know that social media has changed the way we live—and now, we've discovered, it's changing the way we love. Euro RSCG Worldwide surveyed 1,000 respondents in the United States to explore how the digital world, specifically social media, has affected their lives in the areas of love and intimacy. In this white paper, we tackle new realities in love, like the questions of whether old-fashioned matchmaking will be a job of the past (about half of those we surveyed said they knew someone whose relationship had started online) and how old is too old to search for closeness online? Has social media affected fidelity? (Our poll says yes.) Which generation is most actively using online connections to find their love connections? And what do Facebook and the neighborhood bar have in common? Our groundbreaking survey reveals the answers to these questions and more.
Male in U.S.A.
January 2011
This white paper is the next chapter in Euro RSCG Worldwide PR's commitment to the study of the future of men. Since 2003, when Euro RSCG popularized the "metrosexual" concept, the agency has been at the forefront of the movement of marketing to men. "Male in U.S.A." draws on this long history, plus the results of recent proprietary studies, independent research and insights gained through ERWW PR's global trendspotting network, connecting the dots between all of them. Men in the United States today have many differences, but there are commonalities, and this paper addresses both. To try to accurately illustrate a portrait of the American man, it looks at demographics, the wealth illusion, the effects of the recession, male icons in Hollywood and beyond, cars, technology, the banking industry, love and second chances, among other diverse topics. A conclusion offers a list of 10 points helping to define the American male in 2011.
Millennials and Social Media
October 2010
Young people across the planet think the world needs changing, and they're confident social media will give them the power to accomplish that change, according to this new study. For the millennial generation, social media has eclipsed politics, corporations and consumer power as the greatest agent of change. The five-country study upon which the white paper is based, which was fielded by MicroDialogue in summer 2010, looks at how the rising generation is making themselves felt in the workplace, consumer markets and politics. In China, France, India, the United Kingdom and the United States, 600 respondents each were quizzed, split equally between men and women and divided between two age cohorts: 100 people aged 40 to 55 and 500 millennials aged 18 to 25. The findings also show that social media offers a means by which millennials satisfy their basic human needs of connection, conversation and community.
U.S. Mind and Mood Report
April 2010
The new normal in the United States is not anything like it was just a few years ago. Fear and anxiety have replaced confidence and hope when it comes to the economy, and the effects have been felt from the family den to the White House. Optimism is out and pessimism is in, with Americans questioning the future of health care, education, jobs and the political direction of the country. In February 2010, Euro RSCG Worldwide PR and Euro RSCG Life, the public relations arm and the health-focused communications network of Euro RSCG Worldwide, a leading integrated marketing communications agency, commissioned two surveys to try to gauge the mood of Americans on these hot-button issues and others. One survey questioned people nationwide; the other polled residents of Connecticut. Research partners MicroDialogue deployed the two surveys, with each questioning a random and representative sample of 386 people age 18 and older, then analyzed the data. The resultant "U.S. Mind and Mood" white paper provides a series of snapshots of a nation living in a precarious present.
The Future of Home
April 2010
How is the changing world of the 21st century reshaping families, lives and homes in the U.S.? Euro RSCG Worldwide PR analyzed diverse data sets and surveys, media and social trends, and home-industry reports to answer that question with thoughts in six areas: multigenerational homes, home as a destination, sustainability, scent as design element, mobile media centers and simplicity. The categories blend and blur with one another, but there are also some underlying themes. One bottom line from the white paper is this: "With the world in so much flux, Americans are rethinking their definition of home. In flusher times, home was a pit stop, a place to drop your keys between outings. With less cash to spread around, Americans are rediscovering home as the ultimate destination. We work at home. We dine in. We host movie night. Once again, we live at home."
The Teenage Girl as Consumer and Communicator
Spring 2010
Euro RSCG Worldwide PR's white paper analyzes data from a survey the agency commissioned of 100 girls between the ages of 13 and 18 about their spending and communications habits. The research reveals that the teenage girl contradicts almost all cultural stereotypes in those areas. But the core finding of the white paper is more sociological than statistical. Tearing down another false platitude about teenage girls, the paper proves that a sense of intimacy with a select group of friends and family drives almost all their social interaction—including shopping, which the study characterizes as a core social activity for teenage girls. The findings are helping to launch a new agency initiative. Eventually focusing on teen boys and girls, the first phase is called The Sisterhood.
Social Life and Social Media
Fall 2009
In October 2009, Euro RSCG Worldwide commissioned a survey to map the trajectory of social life and social media usage in the United States, quizzing 1,228 Americans from all online demographics. This white paper looks at the macro developments in social media; it also brings in numbers and verbatims about people's hopes for their social life online and offline before finally drawing conclusions and implications for marketers and their clients. The study found, for instance, that by interacting through online media, American consumers are more connected than ever and have dramatically integrated social networking tools into their lives. According to the study, their world is expanding and narrowing at the same time because of social media's hyperlocalization quotient. Among the takeaways for marketers: It's impossible to predict how bits of communication will spread across social media; as most traditional media converge online, communication flows among them, and consumers become messengers.

Dancing for Better Health: Mind, Body & Spirit (cont.)
An 'Exciting' Option
No one is prescribing ballroom dancing, and Verghese's study doesn't claim dancing drove the results.
To get real proof, a study could assign one group of people to ballroom dancing, comparing them to inactive people.
So says Carl Cotman, PhD. He directs the Institute for Brain Aging and Dementia at the University of California, Irvine.
"There aren't any experimental models in animals that would be equivalent to ballroom dancing, that's for sure," says Cotman. His rat studies have shown brain benefits from voluntary running.
If dance is aerobic enough, it could aid the brain, says Cotman. The social and mental aspects could also help.
"You've got togetherness, and...training the brain to do a new motor skill," says Cotman. "I think it's pretty exciting."
No one knows how much or what kind of exercise the brain needs, says Cotman. He'd like to see such studies done.
Meanwhile, "there's no evidence that it's going to hurt anything," says Cotman.
Check Your Ego at the Door
Here's some advice for beginners from New York dance therapist Jane Wilson Cathcart, LMSW, ADTR, CMA:
"Take in all the good feedback you're getting and give your inner judge a couple of dollars to go to the movies," says Cathcart.
"We are usually our own worst critic," says Cathcart. "Think of how many other times your critical judge has limited you from doing something."
New skills can bring confidence. At parties and social events, dancers may head to the dance floor feeling good about themselves without a martini's encouragement, Richards jokes.
"Lay the pathwork of positivity through it," says Cathcart. "The coolest dance begins with one step. The rest will follow."

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Monday, April 30, 2007
Inspired by Bon Appetit's May issue featuring Xiao Long Bao and deliciously elegant Kuidaore, I decided to try making XLB for the first time. If you've never had XLB before, its one of those foods that you absolutely must try in your lifetime. Inside the dumpling are little pockets of gelatinized broth made from chicken, pork and cured ham. When you steam the dumpling, the broth gelatin melts. If you would like to be seduced, read on. If you aren't in a spot where you can comfortably moan out loud (like at work, or at school, or if your kids are running around), I suggest that you close this site, come back another time with a glass of wine – you really can't skip the foreplay.
Aromatic chicken, pork bone and cured ham broth set & cut into shimmering ribbons of translucent gelatin:
Cut into cubes they look like jewels:
Are you hungry yet? The little dumplings are begging to be nestled between your lips.
See the steam? The sun was just starting to come down as we began our feast. Do you see the spicy Sriracha "Rooster Cock Sauce" seducing you from behind?
Don't be shy, I'll hold your hand and walk you through it.
Pick up one of those wooden soup spoon and a pair of chopsticks. Gently lay down one of those tender, juicy dumpings so that it drapes seductively in your spoon. Glide the warm wooden spoon towards your mouth, let your lips lightly brush against the nipple of the dumpling. Slowly move down and take a little nibble on on of the folds of the skin. Let the wisps of steam escape out and caress your upper lip and the tip of your nose. Surrender to the aromatic symphony of the filling tickling your senses. Ok, now go ahead, slowly bite into it. An explosion of rich, steaming, hot juice oozes into the groove of your tongue, dribbling down the side of your chin, and you try to catch any escaping broth with your spoon. No, don't just stop at one…go ahead, take another one.
Don't you feel deliciously alive?!
While I typically specialize in easy, fast Asian recipes – this is not fast and easy. So I'll give you fair warning that this does take time to make. It took about half a day to prepare the soup, chill & set with agar-agar, prep the filling, make & knead the dough, cut out dough circles, wrap, and steam. Whew. I know you're saying, "those damn dumplings better taste mighty fine." And oh, yes they did (you have my permission to skip to the beginning of this post to have another go at it or to see the picture of our Sunset Soup Sdumpling Supper. but please do come back because it took 2 hours and 3 glasses of wine to figure out how to use the slide show thingy below. maybe the wine had something to do with it taking 2 hours, but who knows)
Since I had never made XLB before, another call to Mom…and no, she didn't advise me to get a can of Pews-bewry dough. The combination of using hot water and cold water was perfect and is one of the secrets -the boiling hot water partially cooks the dough & forms gluten better, resulting in a soft, stretchy, pliable and very easy to work with and do multiple pleats. The dough rolled beautifully, but it was still very strong and held the filling without breaking. When you add the hot water, take a pair of chopsticks and use that to stir vigorously to get the gluten going. How vigorous? Well, the best way to describe is to show the dough who's boss and slap the dough around!
After a couple of minutes of all that slapping, add the cold water, stir more. Dump it out on your floured surface and knead. Magically, the dough changes and becomes so soft and springy. Simply put, the dough is giving in to you. Tired of being slapped. Yes, you're the boss.
My mom initially told me 300g of all purpose flour, however, I found that not to be enough and kept adding more flour as I went along. In the recipe, I'm going to estimate that it is 400g. However, I'll talk a little about how I know when to add more flour below.
When I am making anything that involves flour and kneading, I always use 90% measurement of flour than what the recipe calls for initially. The reason is that I can always add more flour if needed – its very simple to do that and very simple to knead the additional flour in by hand. However, if you have too much flour, it is very difficult to add more water to the dough. I also measure out the flour by weight, not by cups, as everyone measures a little different and ingredients may settle in the measuring cup a little different. So I initially use 90% of the flour and reserve the remaining 10% on my counter to incorporate bit by bit as I knead. This ensures that I never use too much flour. Your counter should be floured, so that the dough doesn't stick to the counter. While you are kneading, if the dough is very sticky, add 1T of flour at a time. Sprinkle some on top of the dough, some on the counter – and knead to incorporate the new flour thoroughly. It feels right when its slightly tacky, but not sticky. The dough should come together beautifully in a nice, smooth, round ball. Let it rest (you'd be tired too if you were slapped around). When you poke it with your finger, the dough should slowly ease back into position.
Master XLB pleaters pleat lightening fast. And, they pleat the dumplings with one hand. I just don't have that kind of talent and I didn't count how many pleats there were. Each dumpling was a little different based on how well I managed to get my fat fingers out of the way on the last fold. For me to explain how I did this in words, I'd probably need a couple of cocktails in hand. Here's a series of images to show you instead!
A confession about the oh-so-perfect cubes that were pictured in the Foreplay section. I started out with perfect cubes – trying to imitate the method Kuidore used. I should have known that for me, someone who compulsively has to touch and mess up the columns of flawlessly folded t-shirts at The Gap, it was just too perfect for me. So, instead, I took a fork and ran it quickly through the gelatin cubes to break it up into smaller pieces and mixed that directly into my pork/shrimp filling.
Another note about the recipe in Bon Appetit: Anita Lo's filling recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of sugar, which I think is too much. Maybe she meant 3 tsp? I don't want to doubt the recipe from Anita, whom I really respect. Well, anyways, it tasted great with 2 tsp. The filling shouldn't be too sweet. Its a savory dish. Anita's version of using pre-made won-ton wrappers is great if you're in hurry, but since I'm going to take the time and energy to make the broth and the filling, why not just take a little more time and love to make your own wrapper too? Using won-ton skins really would be such a waste on this dish! I guess its like making a delicate, home-made chocolate souffle and then squirting Hershey's chocolate syrup on top of it. Yeah, you could….but why? Also, most won-ton skins are too thin to make XLB – I can't imagine how well it would work. Regarding the round 3″ cookie cutter used to cut out the dough rounds: I didn't have one. So I took a small can of bamboo shoots, opened both sides of it and used the can as my cookie cutter. Since I have one of those nifty Oxo no-sharp edges can openers, it was pretty easy and no cut fingers.
Don't worry, the bamboo shoots didn't go to waste, they went into a batch of My Mom's Famous Egg Rolls.
Xiao Long Bao Recipe
The Soup
2 quarts of water
2 pounds chicken bones (wings/back/neck)
2 ounces of Virginia Smithfield ham (or cured Chinese ham if you can get it), cut into 4 pieces
1/2 pound of pork skin & fat (you can ask your butcher for this, he'll most likely just give it to you. you could also use pork belly, or just a fatty cut of pork)
1 inch piece of ginger, sliced into 4-5 ginger "coins"
2 green onions, cut into 3" pieces
2 large garlic cloves, smashed with side of your knife
2 teaspoons of Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
The Broth Gelatin
1 tablespoon powdered Agar Agar or 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin
Place 4 cups of the broth back in the pot, turn on the heat. When just about to boil again, turn heat off and add the agar-agar or gelatin. Whisk for 2 minutes until all powder is dissolved. Pour broth into an 8x8 baking dish (size really doesn't matter. if you have a few plastic containers, use those instead. remember how you used to make jello?) Refrigerate until set, about 3-4 hours. (I stuck mine in the freezer after the first hour because I got impatient...it only took 2 hours for mine to set)
The Filling
1 lb ground pork
1/4 lb shrimp, shelled, deveined and minced finely
3 stalks green onion, finely minced
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (use rasp grater)
1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
Mix all ingredients. Remember the broth gelatin above? When the broth gelatin is set, run a fork through it, with criss-cross motion, to break up into very small 1/4" pieces. Take about 1 1/2 cups of the broth gelatin and add that to the filling mixture. Stir to incorporate evenly throughout. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Mom's Hot Water Dough
(makes about 40 dumplings)
400 grams of all-purpose flour (but please re-read the part above re: dough)
3/4 cups boiling hot water
1/4 cup cold water
1 tablespoon cooking oil
Put 90% of the flour in a large bowl. Pour about a third of the hot water in the flour. Use a pair of chopsticks to stir vigorously. Add more hot water. Stir more. Add the last bit of the water and stir vigorously until the dough begins to form. Add the cold water and oil. Keep stirring vigorously with chopsticks. Stop when you can't stir anymore.
Dust counter with the remainder 40 grams of flour. Place dough on floured surface, use your hands to knead the dough for 8 -10 minutes, until it becomes soft, smooth and bounces back slowly when you poke with your finger. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Take one piece (cover the remaining 3 pieces with plastic wrap) and roll it into a long log, about 1-1/4" diameter. Using pastry scraper or knife, cut dough into pieces about the size of a golf ball. Roll one of the balls between your palms to get a nice, round, smooth ball. Using a rolling pin, roll it out flat. Use 3" cookie cutter or improvise with my ghetto version of a cutter to cut out the dough circle. **Note, you may need more flour as your are rolling out your dough. I always keep the counter dusted and a small pile of flour nearby so I can quickly nudge some over if I need it.
Fill with 1 tablespoon of filling, pinch pleat by following the slideshow above. Repeat with rest. Make sure that you cover any dough that you aren't currently using and cover the dumplings with a towel to prevent drying.
The Dipping Sauce (Combine and refrigerate)
2 tablespoons of sambal (hot chili & garlic sauce)
1/2 cup black vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon of shaved ginger
How to shave ginger: Take a big knob - about 2 inches long.Remove skin. Use your sharp paring knife to get a flat surface on one of the long sides. With a vegetable peeler, cut thin strips along the long side of the ginger. Use knife to further cut the strips into super-thin slices. This way, you get the full flavor of ginger in your sauce + the crunch of the little strips of ginger as you eat without tough, fibrous pieces of ginger.
The Steaming
1 head of Napa cabbage, leaves separated
Fill steamer with 1 layer of Napa cabbage leaves. Steam over medium heat for 2 minutes to warm up the steamer and to soften cabbage. Place dumplings on the cabbage leaves, leaving 1 1/2" space between each dumpling. Steam for 12 minutes. Serve in bamboo steamer. Eat orgasmically.
I tried your recipe, and everyone who sampled it (myself included) agrees that it getz da nomnomnomnomnom (with extra nom). My Chinese roommate suggested that the dough could use a little salt. What do you think?
Oh my! I am so excited to try your recipe!
I never even noticed the post of this recipe before!
Yay! I don't know how I've missed this recipe before!
I can't wait to try it finally! your pictures look the best out of all the ones I've googled!
Thanks a lot for this wonderful recipe.
I love your easily cooking and/but artful recipes. Especially your photos are always a great pleasure to view, so that we HAVE to try and taste it.
And this Xiao-Long-Bao-recipe was really a great hit!
Kind regards from Austria
Hi, where do you get cured ham?? I am really excited to try this recipe!! Thanks!
This is a really good recipe. I'm making it for the second time tonight. I found that I like to add more garlic to the broth. The leftover stock I use for saimein. I'm glad I found this. Thank you

Your photos look so great I cant wait to try the recipe myself. I have some questions though. Can I make these in advance and freeze them? Will the dough dry out?
First, an addiction to your garlic scallion noodles, modeled after the variety from Than Long in SF, and now this. I love you Jaden. I really do.
Hi, thank you so much for this recipe. I had an older XLB recipe but I won't be able to make it because it requires too much meat (too expensive for me). I love your gelatin trick. By the way, I was wondering if I could replace the 1/2lb pork rind with chinese ham. I went to a chinese market and I was happy to find that they have very fatty chinese ham. Unfortunately, they are in large package. I don't really use chinese ham in my cooking. Therefore, I was hoping that there will be a way to completely utilize the ham. If the substitution is possible, how much ham should I add? 10 lbs? Thank you in advance. I cannot wait to try your recipe.
I came across your recipe for Xiao long pau and cant wait to try. It looks really yummy
Is it possible to keep the uncooked paus in the freezer and steam it before eating or should they be steamed first and then kept in the freezer and will the dough absorb the soup if it is kept in the freezer after steaming.
This recipe looks amazing! My Chinese boyfriend loves~ xiao long bao and I thought I might try this recipe sometime, but since it takes so long, I was wondering, if I made extra dumplings could I freeze them? Thank you ^^
oops! sorry, didn't notice that you had just answered that question! Anywayz, can't wait to try them!!

I want to make this for my family, but most of them have shellfish allergies, so… I can't do shrimp. Will that affect the flavor of the recipe at all? Is there something I can use in place of shrimp perhaps?
Does anyone, anywhere sell these frozen to be shipped? I've tried before and failed miserably and am a bit gun-shy.
You can try an Asian supermarket. Look in the freezer section.
I tried these tonight and my dough was too doughy! What did I do wrong?? I followed the recipe exactly how you said to do it… Also maybe you could put up

Is the soup meant to be unsalted? my broth is cooking away and i took a sip of it, it smells delicious, but theres no traces of salt at all and im almost 2 hours in. is it suppose to be that way? thanks!
What are some ideas for the leftover stock?
YUMMY! I want to do it today! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
LOVE this post! I'm making these dumplings now (okay, I'm cheating a bit and making deconstructed XLBs because everyone is starving and I don't have time to turn the broth into gelatin – maybe tomorrow). I'll miss the salty liquid that seeps out upon first bite, but can't wait to nibble the skin and savor the goodness within:))
I forgot to say "Thank you" for sharing this delectable recipe!

my wrappers keep turning out very thick after steaming. when i roll them out they are very thin, but they plump up during steaming. any suggestions?
There is 1 Tbsp oil in dough recipe, when did you add it in?
Hi! Are you suppossed to cook the shrimp and pork first before you fill the dumpling? I feel dumb asking, but just wanted to double check. Thank you for all of your yummy recipes!
Thanks so much for this recipe! It tasted great, but unfortunately the dumplings flattened out significantly as they steamed, so they were more like little pancakes with a ball of meat in the middle. What did I do wrong? Not fill the wrappers enough?

New Samsung PL200 combats cameraphones with 7X stabilized lens, 720p for $180
All apologies, we are running late today, but hopefully we will catch up by the end of the day. We start with a new camera from Samsung, the PL200! It has a 7X optical zoom lens with optical stabilization, and a 31-217mm eq range. It also has a 3-inch LCD, 720p video, and a reasonable starting price of $180. The sensor is the 14mp 1/2.3", as if the average consumer needs 14mp coming out of a tiny little sensor thang. But I digress. It is expected to come out in September in a crowded field of compacts.
As we mentioned before, the camera manufacturers are adapting their strategies to combat actual and potential lost sales to cameraphones - cameraphones can't have big zoom-ratio lenses (at least not yet), so the typical 3X lenses we used to see in P&S digital cameras are getting shifted to 5X, 7X, 8X or even 10X blade-zooms!

5 Tools To Make Outdoor Cleaning Easier
With everyone gearing up to throw an outdoor party or two, it's time to whip your exterior into shape. It doesn't have to be a huge ordeal but a few great tools go a long way to making things quick, simple and sparkling. Check out a few of our favorites and add your own, after the jump!
1. Magic Erasers: Although they seem to have lost their popularity over the last year, Magic Erasers are still a fabulous go to product for cleaning plastic outdoor furniture. It can remove a winter's worth of grime and dust with very little leg work.
2. Power Washer: Although they aren't something that everyone has the ability to own (or need), they are the easiest way to make decking, fencing and siding look sharp. They are often able to be rented from your local home improvement stores, so make sure to check before purchasing if you will only use them annually.
3. Sand Paper: For wooden planters, decking and furniture that might be stained from bird droppings, walnut stains (thank you squirrels) and more, a fine grit sand paper works wonders. Just make sure to reseal them every 1-3 years depending on the age of the piece.
4. Stiff Bristle Broom: Although it sounds highly basic, a stiff bristled broom does far more than you'd expect. Quite often we think we need the help of water pressure, chemicals and more to rid our space of the winter filth, but a good broom will amaze you ever time. To conserve space in your garage, you can obtain different strength heads and switch out the handle as your need suits.
5. Pumice Stone: Pumice stones are great at cleaning marble and concrete alike. In combination the two buff each other out, doing away with stains. Try using one on a birdfeeder, your front stoop, the curb and yard ornaments (just not the pink flamingos!)
Do you have an outdoor cleaning trick that works wonders? Found a product you swear by each year? Let us know in the comments below!

Using a pumice stone on polished marble is a great way to destroy the finish. You need to use a poultice instead - one that's appropriate to the type of stain (oil, wine, etc)
As far as brooms: Handles don't take up much space in a garage or toolshed...
...and the more you insert and remove a handle, the more likely it's to come loose when you don't want it to - and it's a major pain to work with a wobbly broom.
Pumice stone! Perfect! I just spray painted some items and the wind blew black paint all over my apartment's balcony! I'll have to pick one of these up to see if it'll remove the residue.
pumice stone is great for those really hard to remove stains in the toilet.
I use a mix of vinegar, Oxy-Clean, dishWASHER soap (less slippy) on the concrete, wood decking and a bunch of other surfaces & scrub with a broom like the one pictured. the grime and filth will bubble up and I rinse it away. Careful about using this combo on stained teak & such, it'll leech the color out.
The magic eraser is amazing for cleaning grout in my shower tiles. :) Swear by that thing!
I use my tank steamer for everything. Try power washing wicker - you'll lose all the paint and some of the wrapping, too (I have antique wicker). A steamer "melts" away dust and grime. Our furniture gets sticky from tree sap (even though it is on a screened porch) and nothing gets rid of that but steam. I spray with a light soap and water mix and the steam "rinses". I steam the aluminum furniture, the grill, the deck, everything outside and in. It gets mildew off the house where it's shadowed by shrubs, and it gets slippery moss off the patio. Steam! I swear I don't sell these but I should....

Brantley Gilbert
Country music's newest success Brantley Gilbert was born and raised in the small town of Jefferson, Georgia, just outside of Athens city limits. It is that upbringing and small town influence that Gilbert credits toward allowing him to cultivate his unique sound. Gilbert's taste in music always swayed toward a southern country rock feel, but his true-to-life testimony of heartache, trials, triumph, and success found a home in country music.

As you say Ann, the sky was not too good and the captures are overexposed, V2 is interesting with the reflections.
Like these Ann, you've captured some nice detail in V1 (my favourite),

I can't quite make out what I am seeing in V 2......I see some Maori symbols bottom right.
its the reflection of Clandon Hse Ronnie taken as I looked into the window of the Maori house
V1 is the pick of the bunch Ann, what an interesting and unusual looking building
And I was thinking you'd been to New Zealand when I first looked at this! Three fine images, Ann, and V1 has to be the winner here
Quote: Thanks for explaining further to an old bloke whose not as sharp as perhaps at one time.
made me laff Ronnie - you and me both

As a member of the National Trust we shall have to look this wonderful venue up in earnest.
Regards Nathan, and thank you for a wonderful set.
Confused me too, but that's not too difficult either. I like the detail in v1.
Well Ann. looks like you have put the cat amongst the pigeons with this one! they are all at sixes and sevens lol. I have Maori artifacts so know the reflections, very interesting I also have a canadian Indian Totem pole, Perhaps I might feature them one day!, a good set of photo's the reflections play a great part! adds a bit of mystery to the shots! well done to you, regards Leon the Lion!
V1 is a crisp and pleasing record of another culture. I like it. V2 is surprisingly similar to an elementary school I went to in the 1950s in Lachine Quebec. The school was named William Trenholm.... Influence? I wonder. TG
The NT has some wonderful surprises in store for you, a vista can be as exciting as finding this image. Well done Ann.

As temperatures drop and the light wanes beyond your door, set the mood for wintry festivities at home with this elegantly rustic runner that features a traditional fir cone lace motif flanked by a fir-and-diamond lace pattern and a simple, textured seed stitch border.
The finished size is approximately 10" wide and 40" long, but this is also a fabulous one-skein project that can be adjusted depending on the amount of yardage available. The runner is worked in two pieces and grafted in the center.
The pattern includes both written AND charted instructions for the runner!

I always found the cut/paste highlighting to make this easy, so you can do it within a sentence too.
Now this is definitely a useful tweak. That one letter at a time thing wasn't cutting it lol
this is really nice, i going to try this out for sure
Nice tweak. I'd prefer to be able to hold the delete key down for a few seconds to x the whole word though. Sue me...I miss swype from Android. iSwipe is on its way, but it's still not the OG.
Can I request a delete forward tweak? Maybe it replaces a button or something.

The threat of invasive carp is one that is not lost on leaders in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. In fact, U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar and U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison announced a major change to prevent their spread.
The silver carp, also known as Asian carp, can wipe out a healthy lake because they are capable of eating between 20 and 120 percent of their body weight each and every day, outcompeting the native fish populations. Now, big-name politicians are praising the decision to close the Upper St. Anthony Falls lock within the next year in an attempt to make sure that doesn't happen.
"With our environment and economy at stake, Minnesota must win the battle to keep invasive carp out of our waterways," said Klobuchar. "We need to do everything we can to stop the further spread of this invasive species and closing this lock represents an important step in that fight."
Videos of the jumping silver carp have gone viral, but it's a phenomenon most would prefer not to see in Minnesota waters. That's what politicians hope to achieve by closing down the lock.
"The St. Anthony Falls, before the lock was put in, was a natural fish barrier," Darrell Gerber, of the Stop Carp Coalition, said.
Silver carp have been caught near Winona, Minn., and bighead carp -- which can grow up to 100 pounds -- have made it as far north as Hastings.
"They eat an incredible amount of food," Gerber said. "They just take away the food that all the other fish depend on."
It's not just the Mississippi River that they're worried about either. The river is connected to some of Minnesota's most popular sporting lakes, including Lake Mille Lacs and Gull Lake.
"Once they're there, they're a really big threat to an incredible fishery -- the walleye fishery up there," Gerber warned.
Brian Lark, who likes to fish the Mississippi River, told Fox 9 News he ears he may have spotted some of the aquatic hitchhikers near the Ford dam.
"There's just no stopping them," he lamented. "They're going to make it. Wherever they go, they're going to make their way through. If they can get up this far and they can survive the winter in Minnesota, it's over."
To prevent the invasive carp species from getting any farther upstream, a bipartisan group of politicians has decided to close the Upper St. Anthony Lock for good within the next 12 months; however, it is possible that it could still be used for flood control.
"I think there is still going to be a lot of figuring out of what does 'closed' mean," Gerber admitted.
In addition to stopping the fish from migrating any farther north, the plan will shot off the river to commercial boat traffic -- including two businesses near the port of Minneapolis.
"Unfortunately, they should close it," fisherman Terrill May said.
Yet, some argue that the lock is only being used a fraction of what was ever predicted. Closing it would save the Army Corps of Engineers about $1.5 million annually.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is still moving forward with its plan to install an electric barrier near the Ford Dam -- but those aren't 100 percent reliable.

Teachers say fights like the one at Gibbs High that was videotaped and posted online happen more often than you think, and they happen in schools all across the Tampa Bay area.
"I've been in that teacher's shoes. I know that feeling, that fear and it's quite troubling," says Pinellas Classroom Teacher's Association President Kim Black.
"I feel sorry for them because ain't nobody trying to help them. So, they're trying to do it by themselves and they can't," says 11th grader Alexis Watson.
"I've been in certain situations where the teacher's gotten cursed at as if she was part of the altercation. It just really never ends well for a teacher when it comes to a heated situation," says 12th grader Chandler Warren.
Even before the fight, you hear students in the video yelling, cursing, laughing and egging each other on, disrespecting each other and ultimately the teacher.
"Our youth are troubled and our youth need help. We need to teach our students not only respect for themselves but respect for each other," Black says.
Like other districts, Pinellas classrooms do have phones and intercom buttons to the front office that teachers can use to call for help.
Last year in Pinellas, the number of kids suspended for fighting went up. At Gibbs alone, there were 76 out of school suspensions for fighting, more than any other school.
"They're not getting paid enough to stop fights," says 10th grader Kevon Buxton.
"Teachers can not do this on their own. We need parents community leaders, business leaders. This is the responsibility of everyone in our community," Black said.
