Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain Relief
Shoulder pain doesn't only occur in athletes, and it's not always a result of an accident. The fact is, you can get shoulder pain from doing household chores, lifting heavy objects, or sleeping the wrong way. One day, you might be helping your friend move furniture, and the next day you can barely get a shirt over your head.
If you experience shoulder pain while dressing, lifting, sleeping or carrying things, you should know about a clinically proven solution: physical therapy. Your therapist can help relieve your pain, restore movement, and recover strength without having to undergo surgery or use medications.
Physical Therapy: Your First Choice
It's a powerful form of treatment:
- Physical therapy has been shown to improve shoulder movement in patients with even the most serious of shoulder injuries.1
- It can help alleviate pain for people with long-standing shoulder issues.1
It's as effective as other treatment options but doesn't have side effects:
- Physical therapy is proven to be just as effective as corticosteroid injection and surgery for the treatment of shoulder pain.2,3
It has benefits that help you avoid future pain:
- Physical therapy programs include exercises that help build shoulder strength, which can help you avoid injury over the long term.
You can get relief fast:
- You don't have to wait in pain for an appointment: you can usually see a physical therapist within 48 hours of calling.4

Chapter 10
Jesus instructs and empowers the Twelve Apostles and sends them forth to preach, minister, and heal the sick—Those who receive the Twelve receive the Lord.
1 And when he had acalled unto him his btwelve disciples, he gave them cpower against dunclean spirits, to cast them out, and to eheal all manner of fsickness and all manner of disease.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the apublican; James the son of Alphæus, and Lebbæus, whose surname was Thaddæus;
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also abetrayed him.
5 These twelve Jesus asent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the bSamaritans enter ye not:
6 But go rather to the alost bsheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven ais at hand.
8 aHeal the sick, cleanse the blepers, raise the dead, ccast out devils: dfreely ye have received, freely egive.
9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your apurses,
10 Nor ascrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is bworthy of his cmeat.
11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall aenter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the adust of your bfeet.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of aSodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
16 ¶ Behold, I send you forth as asheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore bwise as serpents, and charmless as doves.
17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and akings bfor my sake, for a ctestimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, atake no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall bspeak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the aSpirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be ahated of all men bfor my cname's sake: but he that dendureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 The adisciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple athat he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing acovered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And afear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather bfear him which is able to cdestroy both dsoul and body in ehell.
29 Are not two asparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very ahairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more avalue than many bsparrows.
32 Whosoever therefore shall aconfess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall adeny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send apeace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's afoes shall be they of his own bhousehold.
37 He that aloveth father or mother bmore than me is not worthy of me: and he that cloveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his across, and followeth after me, is not bworthy of me.
39 aHe that findeth his life shall blose it: and he that closeth his dlife for my sake shall find it.
40 ¶ He that areceiveth you breceiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 He that areceiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's breward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the aname of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise blose his reward.

Former New Jersey senator and governor Jon Corzine, who led MF Global as it spectacularly collapsed in a bankruptcy that has left $1.2 billion in client money missing, is due at a House Agriculture Committee hearing this morning to face questions about what happened.
While he has submitted a statement, The Associated Press says Corzine is also expected to invoke the Fifth Amendment and decline to answer any potentially damaging questions that could be used against him in court. Still, his statement is an extensive defense of his actions.
In Corzine's statement, which is posted here, he begins by saying:
"Recognizing the enormous impact on many peoples' lives resulting from the events surrounding the MF Global bankruptcy, I appear at today's hearing with great sadness. My sadness, of course, pales in comparison to the losses and hardships that customers, employees and investors have suffered as a result of MF Global's bankruptcy. Their plight weighs on my mind every day – every hour. And, as the chief executive officer of MF Global at the time of its bankruptcy, I apologize to all those affected."
He also defends the investment firm's decision to invest in European government debt and says MF Global actually reduced its level of risk under his leadership:
"One of the recurrent themes in the media has been that MF Global took on too much risk during my tenure, in particular the amount of leverage that MF Global bore at the time of its bankruptcy. In fact, MF Global reduced leverage. In the quarter ended March 31, 2010, MF Global's leverage was 37.3. During my tenure, it was consistently around 30.7."
In his statement Corzine, a Democrat, also disputes suggestions that he tried to influence regulators who were pushing companies such as MF Global to reduce their risk exposures. He spoke, for instance, "on only limited occasions" with Chairman Gary Gensler of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Corzine says, and "no private discussions about the CFTC's regulation or oversight of MF Global."
As for the missing funds, Corzine says "I simply do not know where the money is, or why the accounts have not been reconciled to date."
Corzine resigned from MF Global in November.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. ET. It will be webcast by C-SPAN.org.
Update at 1:10 p.m. ET. Corzine Has Begun Speaking:
He's now reading his prepared statement.

This was published 11 years ago
Annual loss recorded: a year in the life of death
Cancer is the big killer but lifestyle illnesses are on the rise, writes Amy Corderoy.
It tells us as much about life as it does about death. The Bureau of Statistics' causes of death data paints a picture of nearly 150,000 lives which ended in 2010.
Some lingered, some disappeared in the blink of an eye.
More than 43,000 people were taken by the Big C, even more by circulatory conditions like heart disease. But four people passed away ice-skating, skiing, roller-skating or skateboarding. And six people came to a grisly end after a run in with snakes, lizards, hornets, wasps or bees.
Many drowned or fell from ladders. Many more died violently through assault or car accidents.
Derek Williamson spends his days leading tours though the history of death in his role as director of the Museum of Human Disease at the University of NSW.
As he walks among the samples - diseased arteries, cirrhotic livers, even an ovarian tumour grown out of confused cells that have allowed it to sprout hair and teeth - he sees warnings for the living.
''So much of this is about quality of life. Long before you die from lung cancer, smoking has affected your life in so many ways,'' he says.
Williamson says our biggest killers are self-inflicted. "Twenty years ago we didn't worry about most people in the population getting diabetes, it was the few people who were born with it," he says.
Childhood has become safer, though, with vaccination programs virtually eliminating diseases like measles and diphtheria.
A big cut in smoking, a better diet and better traffic safety have meant a faster rise in life expectancy for Australians compared to Americans, says Theo Vos, the director of the Centre for Burden of Disease and Cost-effectiveness at the University of Queensland.
In 1970 in the US and Australia, a 15-year-old boy had a similar chance of dying before the age of 60 - about 23 per cent in the US and just over 21 per cent here. Today this figure has decreased to only 8 per cent in Australia but is still up around 14 per cent in the US, according to an online database the university developed with the University of Washington.
"Homicides are a substantial proportion of the injuries in the US, whereas you can hardly see the homicides in the Australian figures," Vos says. ''And when it comes to ischaemic heart disease, we have continued to improve whereas the US seems to have subsided in the last 10 years.''
Despite this good news, death in Australia can be controversial. The director of the Research Centre for Injury Studies at Flinders University, James Harrison, says the recording of suicides has been a hot issue.
"The statistics released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics from 2000 to 2010 seemed as if the suicide rate was declining really sharply," he says. "But when we and others looked at it … there was something misleading in the data".
The bureau has made changes to try to fix the problems (which largely stem from the way coroners choose to record, or rather not record, suicides) but it is still a controversial topic.
So how will death come in 20 years? University of Western Australia experts have estimated that if current trends in obesity continue, Australians aged about 20 will be the first to see their life expectancy fall.
Advances in surgical techniques and drugs can only do so much. In the end it is the way people live their lives that determines how they die.

Canada is changing its change.
The USA's northern neighbor on Monday stopped distributing pennies. Going forward, stores "up there" will be rounding prices to the nearest nickel (sometimes up!). It's all part of a plan, as Planet Money has reported, to save the government $11 million a year. No more spending 1.6 cents or so to make a coin worth just a ... penny.
In The Wall Street Journal last month, Medallic Art Company historian D. Wayne Johnson made the case for eliminating the U.S. penny as well as the nickel and quarter to save on minting costs. NPR's Scott Simon doubts any of that will happen anytime soon because politics makes it truly tough to phase out coinage that comes with presidents' profiles. And BloombergBusinessweek has pointed out that "plenty of Americans like pennies and their Honest Abe heritage. Those enthusiasts, along with industry lobbies, have rallied to support the coins when there has been movement to kill them."
So it probably won't happen. But should the U.S. penny join its Canadian cousin in the home for retired coins?
Note: That's just a question, not a scientific survey of public opinion.

Diablo 3 Class, Story and Gameplay Details
After weeks of speculation, Blizzard has officially announced Diablo III at its World Wide Invitational event in Paris.
Said to feature more quests than ever, the anticipated sequel will stick to its roots by being "first and foremost a cooperative game."
Download Diablo III videos on FileShack.
Diablo III will feature old standards such as the quotable Deckard Cain, as well as a new version of Tristram and a fresh class dubbed the Witch Doctor. The jungle-born warrior will use ancient tribal magic to cast disease and mind control spells, in addition to utilizing pets such as locust swarms and mongrels. The game will also include several control improvements, including full zoom capability and a hotbar to easily access skills. Players will be able to quickswap between skills using the mouse wheel or tab key.
Armor will now be class-specific, designed to provide each character a unique look. Classes themselves are more diverse, as it was noted that there will be female versions of both the Barbarian and Witch Doctor.
In a demo of the Barbarian class, the company noted that less of an emphasis will be placed on potions for health. Instead, red orb-like items will drop that immediately recover health once the player picks them up.
Environmental destruction was also shown off, with a character at one point busting through a solid wall. The environment can also be used to kill enemies, as in the case of objects that fell from a wall, killing a group of monsters.
Enemies were shown to be larger in scale than in past games, with giant evil trees and a massive demon called a Siegebreaker.
Blizzard has released a set of official features and a story description, which can now be conveniently viewed below the fold:
Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn.When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram's Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells--and even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself.
- Explore a fully-realized Sanctuary--the living, breathing gothic fantasy world of Diablo III rendered in gorgeous 3D.
- Battle the unholy forces of the Burning Hells with all-new character classes like the otherworldly Witch Doctor, or with re-imagined warriors from Diablo's past: such as the fierce Barbarian.
- Rain Hell on your enemies wielding the interactive environment as a weapon: lay cunning traps, turn destructible objects against your foes, and use environmental obstacles to your advantage--all powered by the Havoc physics system.
- Experience the intensity of multiplayer Diablo III over an all-new, wickedly-enhanced Battle.net platform with numerous enhancements to make connecting with your friends easier--and cooperative gameplay more fun.

Many people weren't sure what to make of the Apple iPad when it was introduced by Steve Jobs in January. The iPad was meant to dive into a market that has largely failed to gain traction due to the use of Windows-based tablets and convertible notebooks that were never built from the ground up for touch-based input.
However, Jobs must be grinning all the way to the bank because his "magical" iPad has indeed found an audience and is continuing to burn up the sales charts. Apple sold 300,000 Wi-Fi-only iPads on launch day, 450,000 by the first week, and 500,000 within two weeks of launch.
Now that the iPad 3G is finally shipping, Apple has seen another uptick in sales for its latest iPhone OS device. Apple is now touting that it has sold one million iPads in just 28 days on the market.
"One million iPads in 28 days—that's less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
Apple also made it known that over 1.5 million eBooks have been downloaded from iBookStore and over 12 million apps have been downloaded by iPad users from the App Store.
Jobs continued, throwing in a but more praise on his "magical" tablet. "Demand continues to exceed supply and we're working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers."
Apple's iPad starts at $499 for a 16GB Wi-Fi model and tops out at $829 for a 64GB model with 3G connectivity.

Watch These Animals Having Great Pool Parties — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="5010593"]
Everyone loves a good pool party. And not just people.
Dogs, deer, horses, monkeys (especially monkeys), moose, elephants and more all seem quite delighted to get out of the hot sun and into a refreshing pool. Even a kiddie pool, if that's what's available. Seeing a series of clips like this makes us really eager for summer to get started already. Wait, what month is it again?
The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you're eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say "aaahhh" or not believe what you just watched.

I feel like a lame not having much to say about this outfit because it's my favorite one I've worn in a while! I think I added Peaco because it felt too boring otherwise, and not obnoxious enough (nevermind the neon pink!) Add a toy and it's obnoxious AND kitschy! There were many awkward moments at school when I didn't remember she was there and couldn't figure out why people were grabbing for my knee and lower thigh.
My friend and I have been collecting UglyDolls since we were in probably 3rd grade. We were children that got allowance for shoving their messy rooms into their closets and under their beds, so spent obscene amounts of money on obscene stuffed animals. We stopped collecting eventually when we realized that things like, y'know, books, and clothes, existed, but still love them. Whenever we visit the local store we always used to get them at we feel like old men going to a college reunion but where...like...new people decided they went to your college 60 years ago even when they didn't...meaning, you know...new Ugly Dolls that we don't know have been created...and we don't know who they are....um...hehn hehn....hehn...did you hear the one about the...um...yeah I'm not great at analogies *awkward*
Anyways, this is only my half of the collection, which my friend and I know because they're the only ones that smell like dog pee.
OKAY, OKAY, enough of these little childrens dolls. We need to get high-fashion now. Look! Jumping!Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

For more information, call (336) 703-2480.
Rabies is a preventable disease of mammals most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. That is because rabid animals have the disease in their saliva or drool. If rabies enters the body, it attacks the brain and spinal cord.
In North Carolina, raccoons are more likely to have rabies than any other animal. However, cats, dogs, foxes, skunks, and farm animals can also get rabies. Even humans can get rabies. Rabies kills if it is not prevented. Once signs of the disease appear in an animal or a human, they usually die within 10 days. But you can get anti-rabies shots to fight off the disease. Rabies shots need to be given as soon as possible after a bite has occurred, before symptoms appear. The vaccination consists of a series of six shots given over 30 days.

Weak from days without food or water, the emaciated, dehydrated cat could barely lift her head. The Good Samaritan who had found the little feline brought her to The Cat Care Clinic in Orange, Calif., hoping that veterinarian Elaine Wexler-Mitchell and her staff could ease the cat away from death's door. The odds of such a miracle occurring were iffy at best, since the cat was not only starving, but also was besieged with internal and external parasites. Handling such challenges, however, is all in a day's work for Elaine Wexler-Mitchell, DMV, who owns and directs the clinic.
Dr. Wexler-Mitchell, author of Ask the Vet for Cats (Bowtie 2004) and Guide to a Healthy Cat (Wiley 2003), downplays any talk of performing miracles in feline veterinary medicine. "After twenty-two years of being a veterinarian," she says, "almost everything is typical."
Here's what a "typical" day for Dr. Wexler-Mitchell might entail:
7:30 a.m. to 8 a.m.: She arrives at the clinic, reviews the results of laboratory tests on patients and checks to see how hospitalized patients fared overnight. This is her favorite part of the day. "I like trying to figure out how I am going to stay organized and on top of everything I have to do," she says.
8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.: During this multi-hour bloc, Dr. Wexler-Mitchell sees patients and their people. Generally, each appointment runs 30 minutes. She deals with a wide range of feline ills. "Everyday I see vomiting, diarrhea, upper respiratory infections, itchy skin and urinary tract problems," she says.
11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.: Midday is for routine dental cleanings and surgical procedures. "Typical surgeries are sterilizations, dental extractions, growth removals and bladder stone removals," Dr. Wexler-Mitchell says. "Less typical is removing foreign objects that cats have ingested, such as lips from a rubber duck, jean buttons and foam ear plugs. I perform many abdominal surgical exploratory procedures and usually, since we have ultrasound, I know what I'm going to find. But sometimes it's not exactly what I expect with regard to the severity of a disease or the spread of a cancer."
1 p.m. to 3 p.m.: Early afternoon is when Dr. Wexler-Mitchell grabs some lunch, meets with her office manager, writes reports on what happened with earlier appointments for inclusion in her patients' records, and telephones clients to discuss their cats' medical conditions while outlining courses of treatment. All too often, though, such calls require reassuring anxious clients who know little about feline physiology. "Often, a client will call on the phone frantic because her cat is crying out and writhing on the floor," says Dr. Wexler-Mitchell. "But, in fact, the cat might just be in heat."
3 p.m. to 6 p.m.: Dr. Wexler-Mitchell uses another big bloc of time for more appointments with feline patients and their owners.
6 p.m. and later: After 6 p.m., Dr. Wexler-Mitchell attempts to close out her day. "I finish records and try to leave," she says. During this time, she also checks once more on how the clinic's hospitalized patients are doing.
One such patient was the nameless cat who'd been brought in earlier. "We placed her on a heating pad, injected her with intravenous fluids and antibiotics, treated for parasites, and gave her anti-diarrhea medications," Dr. Wexler-Mitchell recalls. "The IV treatment was for four days, but she was hospitalized and received oral medications for two weeks."
At the end of those two weeks, the Good Samaritan, who'd agreed to pay for reasonable efforts to save the patient, brought the recovered cat to live with her and her two older male cats. There, the once-helpless feline proceeded to show her true colors. "After one day of adjustment, the cat promptly took over the house and then dominated the other two cats," says Dr. Wexler-Mitchell. "She was a bit of a devil in disguise!"
While veterinarian work often provides intangible rewards associated with helping, and even saving, the lives of pets, it can, as evidenced here, lead to long, grueling hours. You can help your own veterinarian's day to run smoothly by keeping the following points in mind:
- Be on time If you have an appointment with your veterinarian, he or she is setting aside time to help your cat stay healthy. Acknowledge that effort by being on time for your appointment.
- Be respectful Your cat is your number one priority when you visit your veterinarian, but remember that your veterinarian has other clients to see and a schedule to keep. If you need additional time beyond your appointment to discuss a matter, ask for a follow-up meeting or a phone consultation.
- Use common sense If your cat's behavior or health changes suddenly, don't wait to see what happens. Call your veterinarian right away, and also make sure your cat has regularly scheduled checkups.
- Expect to spend money The high-tech, cutting-edge advances in veterinary medicine that keep your cat healthy cost your veterinarian money. Expect to spend some of your money to receive such quality care for your cat. If you're worried about paying for expensive treatment, consider purchasing pet health insurance for your feline friend.

Grilled Spanish Mustard Beef Doesn't Have a Ring to It
Despite the awkward name, this fast and user-friendly wet rub did a fine job flavoring some carne asada I grilled recently (yes, that was redundant). I'm calling it Spanish mustard since I spiked the Dijon with a couple of my favorite ingredients of all time – smoked paprika and sherry vinegar.
Be sure to go find the real stuff (that it comes from Spain is one clue). If your marinade is only going to have a couple ingredients, you better make sure you're using top shelf stuff. The other two keys to this recipe are as follows: only let the meat marinate for about an hour, otherwise it may start to "cook" in the acid; and be sure to build a very hot fire.
Since this is a wet rub, we need the meat to sear and caramelize, not to steam in its own juices. After successfully grilling and slicing thin, against the grain, this can be eaten in hundreds of ways; all delicious. You'll see my tortilla delivery system, but everything from paper-thin rice paper wrappers to thick slices of grilled bread would be perfect.
This is also a fantastic marinade for thin-cut pork shoulder chops, or any of your favorite chicken parts. By the way, while you're grilling, sipping on a cold beer, or sangria, try and think of a better name. Enjoy!
2 pounds thin sliced beef (any thin flap meat, skirt steak, flank steak, round steak, etc.
2 tablespoons Dijon
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
4 cloves minced, crushed garlic, optional
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1/4 cup light olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to tastes

Can I use canola oil instead of the olive oil? Or extra virgin? Thanks!
- July 28, 2010 at 10:08 PM

looks like it would be awesome in the Arepas
- July 29, 2010 at 3:12 AM
How would that rub go as a salad dressing if you tripled the oil? Would it need some sweet element or be good to go?

No one who's ever followed a recipe with a great title only to find it made a crappy dish is going to complain when a great recipe has a crappy title. You definitely have your priorities in order.

Thank! Hey, wait a minute, did u just call my title crappy? ;-)

Oh this sounds SOOOOO good. Smoked paprika is awesome stuff and is just so full of flavour. Thanks for the great suggestion Chef.

This looks so tasty! Sadly, I despise mustard - and cilantro, for that matter - and simply cannot eat it.
Chef, do you know of an herb/spice that can replace mustard? It seems like mustard is a fairly important spice that shuts me out of a lot of foods. I'd love to know if there is a workaround for my pallet problems.
Thanks in advance! - July 29, 2010 at 8:59 PM
- Chef John said...
sorry, cant think of one, but if u dont like mustard, you probably wont like substitutes anyway ;-)
- July 29, 2010 at 9:19 PM
- zac said...
I think you should have called it "boeuf de deux pays" which is two country beef. French mustard and spanish spices, it was begging for it.
- July 30, 2010 at 4:18 AM
- Rita said...
will surely try this. sadly though, cilantro is too hard to find here. i could substitute the coriander leaves. but, to me, it doesn't have the same bite as cilantro does.
- July 30, 2010 at 6:54 AM
- blogagog said...
I don't understand you, Rita. Cilantro IS coriander leaves. And it tastes like the word 'blech'. Simply disgusting. Like stink bugs aged for a few weeks in palmolive dishwashing liquid.
Part of the reason I love Chef John's recipes is that he doesn't often suggest murdalizing a meal by adding cilantro. - July 31, 2010 at 4:02 PM
Just made this Chef John and I have to say this is one of my favorite recipes of yours! I would have never guessed the ingredients by the taste of the finished product. Made it with the recommended garlic and ate it with tacos and homemade salsa verde (tomatillo)! Absolutely delicious!! You are the man Chef John. Love your site!

these must be mexican recipes because in spain a tortilla is a omelet made of egg, onion, potato maybe some green peppers.
they didn't get mexican style flour or corn tortillas till the late 80's when mexican food finally made its way to spain. Mexican and Spanish food are about as close as chinese and spanish food are. paella is kinda like fried rice right? I am so tired of people giving mexican recipes and calling them spanish. sorry but if it was a japanese recipe you wouldn't call it a chinese recipe - February 26, 2011 at 4:43 AM
- Chef John said...
So I'm just wondering what that has to do with this recipe? :-)
- February 26, 2011 at 10:19 AM
This was a magical spanish mustard-y explosion in my mouth. I Will be making this again.
- June 26, 2011 at 10:23 PM
CHef John,
What could you subsitute for sherry vinegar? Red wine? Apple cider? White? That's what I have! Thanks. - July 11, 2011 at 1:12 PM
- Roberto said...
I made this last night. I split a flank steak to make it thin like the meat you used. That worked well on my very hot grill. I made some substitutions with what I had on hand including a splash of Marsala and a splash of red wine vinegar rather than the sherry vinegar. I used garlic in the marinade and gave the steak a dusting of ground cumin.
The result of including cumin was fantastic, perhaps a bit more Mexican/Cuban than Spanish. - May 6, 2012 at 12:16 AM
What's the next best thing to the sherry vinegar? I have all kinds but and can't find at store. Help, want to make tonight.
- August 27, 2012 at 1:47 PM
I live in Brazil and have no clue if I could find sherry vinegar... never seen it here. A loooooot of ingredients are hard to find down here.
In Curitiba, Brazil there is an AMAZING "fraldinha na mostarda" at a BBQ place called KF Carnes and I'd KILL to be able to make the mustard rub sauce they use on their rump roast. OMG, it's heaven.
I've never had anything like it anywhere else!!
But... I'm inspired to try anyways.
I'll just mix things up and see what happens I guess!
Thanks, Chef John!
- October 24, 2012 at 2:35 PM
- Serious Furious said...
I ran out of paprika, so I used a tbsp of chipotle powder to make up the difference. The steak turned out CRUCIAL. Sooo good. Thanks Chef!
- February 5, 2013 at 5:29 PM
- Jen said...
Landed here from a link on Nom Nom Paleo. Definitely making this soon! I'm thinking a pinch of aleppo pepper is going to make its way into my marinade as well.
- April 26, 2013 at 3:34 PM
- Elizabeth said...
also from nom nom paleo. wow - this was amazing. whole fam, even picky kids LOVED it. thanks.

Are you prepared to shop, then shop some more? Get ready…get set…but wait! Read this before going off to the mall and making tons of purchases you'll later regret.
Here are some essential insights for all shoppers (and would-be shoppers) on the colossal day of consumption that is Black Friday:
Black Friday started on Thursday. We all know this, right? That Walmart, Toys R Us, and others have "ruined" Thanksgiving (at least for store workers) by opening their doors at 8 p.m. or shortly thereafter last night? In the hopes of not only attracting shoppers to stores but also keeping them there for hours on end, retailers have been introducing a steady stream of "door busters" and special sales periodically through the night and early morning. So you may have already missed out on some deals. And so by, say, 6 a.m. on Friday morning, some shoppers pulling all-nighters may be more delirious, hopped up on caffeine, and/or agitated than during a "normal" Black Friday that only required them to wake up at 4 a.m. Take pains to steer clear of these shoppers.
Holiday promotions started months ago. Black Friday used to represent the kickoff to the holiday shopping season. Nowadays, the day is … something else. Christmas displays and holiday deals ranging from seasonal layaway to toy reservation programs and price-matching policies were launched weeks, sometimes months ago. Online sales with Cyber Monday-like prices have been popping up for weeks, and online shopping on Thanksgiving itself was expected to see huge growth too.
(MORE: 8 Black Friday Mistakes You Can't Afford to Make)
Today, by the time Black Friday rolls around, it doesn't feel like the beginning of anything. Instead, it's become something of a fast and furious competition among shoppers and stores alike. The prices on Black Friday will sometimes be terrific, and sometimes be nothing special. The game, then, is one in which shoppers compete with each other to get the truly worthwhile deals before their deal-crazed peers beat them to the punch (sometimes literally), while shoppers simultaneously facing an onslaught of retailer marketing and manipulation tactics present in every corner of the mall. Guess who often wins these battles?
It's especially easy to make mistakes. In the frenzied atmosphere that is Black Friday, many shoppers will make foolish buying decisions. Among the most common occurs when a consumers is drawn in to the store by the possibility of an amazing door-buster deal. Usually, these deals are available in very short supply. When shoppers are shut out of such deals, sometimes they go ahead and buy a similar item—for a much more expensive price.
This is something of a bait-and-switch that consumers voluntarily play along with. Why do many shoppers bite? Often, for the same reason they're intrigued by Black Friday in the first place: They hate the idea that they're being left out, that something exciting is happening without them. They also hate the idea that they could come home empty-handed after waking up before dawn and driving to the mall, the entire experience amounting to a gigantic waste of time. They want to participate and get in on the action, even if that means getting much less bang for the buck than they'd hoped.
Price-comparing is an essential part of the game. It's wrong to say that all prices will be good on Black Friday. It's equally wrong to say that no prices will be good on Black Friday. In fact, prices on many goods should be outstanding: USA Today points to killer deals on TVs (40-inchers for under $200), while the Chicago Tribune recommends that shoppers take a close look at Black Friday bargains on clothing, laptops, DVDs, and fitness equipment.
(MORE: Black Friday's Purposefully Fast, Furious, Frenzied Shopping Action)
The only way to truly know if you're getting the best deal on an item is to compare prices elsewhere. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Public Investigator" column offers a range of resources for handling this task, including price-comparison sites like PriceGrabber and Decide.com, as well as smartphone apps like RedLaser and Amazon's Price Check.
Retailers don't always make price-comparing easy, however. As the Wall Street Journal reported, even as many stores offer free Wi-Fi and introduce shopping apps of their own, some have also expanded lines of exclusive merchandise—goods whose prices can't be compared elsewhere, because they're not sold anywhere else.
For the first time ever, Target and Best Buy have introduced price-matching policies that extend to online competitors this year, but these policies obviously only apply to identical goods that are sold by different merchants. They can't be used to get lower prices on exclusive merchandise, and, in Best Buy's case at least, the policies can't be invoked to get lower prices during Thanksgiving week. (Same deal with PayPal's price-matching guarantee; it doesn't apply to items purchased from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday.)
(MORE: JCPenney's Curious Not-So-Black Friday)
There are alternatives to Black Friday shopping. You could also just, like, not shop. This is allowed. The day after Thanksgiving is "celebrated" in certain circles as the antithesis of "buying everything" Black Friday: It's called Buy Nothing Day. It's a fairly self-explanatory concept: Instead of buying lots of stuff, the point is to chill out, get off the consumption treadmill, and buy nothing.
Will you miss out? Sure. But that's OK. There have been "pre-Black Friday" and early Cyber Monday sales, there will be Cyber Monday itself, and surely there will be more and more deals to come after that. In fact, some shopping experts point to the middle of next week as a "sweet spot" for snagging the best prices on loads of holiday gift items. There will also be post-Christmas and post-New Year's sales and on and on.
You can't go shopping during all of these "amazing" sales. Nor should you try.
(MORE: The Real Reason Hostess Went Under: The Way We Eat Has Changed)
Skipping the mall on Black Friday doesn't mean you have to necessarily lose out on all the Black Friday deals, however. Online shopping is an option, and the vast majority of goods are on sale for the exact same price no matter if you purchase via the web or after waiting in line at the store for an hour. (Check out a top 20 list of Black Friday deals fully available to online shoppers, no trips to the mall required.) We've all heard about the bizarre injuries and deaths and awful shopper behavior that have come to characterize the worst of Black Friday.
Hopefully, you won't be subjected to mayhem like this if you just stay home.

Medicare patients who reach the annual gap in coverage for prescription drugs known as the "doughnut hole" are 57 percent more likely than those with continuous insurance coverage to stop taking drugs for heart-related conditions such as high blood pressure or heart disease.
That's the result of a study by researchers from the Harvard Medical School, Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, and CVS Caremark, the drugstore chain. It's in the latest issue of the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, published by the American Heart Association.
The researchers looked at the records of more than 100,000 Medicare patients with heart conditions who had Medicare prescription drug coverage in 2006 and 2007. They compared those who fell into the doughnut hole — when Medicare stops paying for drugs and patients are required to temporarily cover 100 percent of their cost -– with those who had continuing insurance coverage. The coverage limit resets every year.
Stopping what could be critical, life-saving medication was not what people hoped would happen when patients reached the gap. "Some policymakers have argued that sensitizing Part D consumers to drug costs through mechanisms like the coverage gap would encourage beneficiaries to use only essential and lower-priced medications," the researchers wrote. Part D is the name of the optional program that covers prescription drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries.
But using only necessary drugs and finding better deals hasn't been the case, either in this study or others like it. "Researchers have observed increased rates of drug discontinuation and adherence across both essential and potentially unnecessary drugs but have not observed higher rates of switching to generic drugs during the coverage gap," the study said.
One notable finding was that those who stopped taking their drugs didn't seem to experience serious health consequences. But the researchers cautioned that their study looked at only a very short timeline, and the patients who ended up in the study "experienced a relatively small number of adverse events, limiting our power to detect differences."
The researchers also noted that the 2010 Affordable Care Act is gradually closing the doughnut hole, which would alleviate the problem. This year seniors get a 50 percent discount on brand-name drugs once they reach the coverage gap and a 14 percent discount for generic drugs.

Ted Lilly (3-4, 4.83) vs. Philip Humber (3-3, 3.18).
Vin Scully, from last night's telecast:
Dodgers have a long day's journey into night, into day.The strike-one pitch, swung on and missed, oh and two.
Yes, it's very glamorous, and yes, it pays you a lot of money to be a ballplayer, but you have to play very well, all the time.
The strike-two pitch, swung on and missed. That'll do it for Billingsley.
And that makes it very tough to play well all the time. Just to give you an idea of tonight's game. If it's anything like last night, it'll end about ten-thirty. With a good break, the Dodgers will be off the ground in two hours. That would make it twelve-thirty.
Twelve-thirty is two-thirty in the morning in Chicago. And it's about, let's say, a four-hour flight. If it takes that long, you land at six-thirty.
Well, Chicago is a bustling city. You'll be fighting early-morning traffic coming on that long ride from the airport at O'Hare, all the way to downtown.
So about time you get to the hotel? Well, after seven o'clock for sure. If you wait for your bag, it's going to be eight o'clock.
You go up to the room, you darken the room, you try to get some sleep, and then you battle ninety-mile-an-hour fastballs that night.
Well, Jamey and the Dodgers will have to do that tonight.

A brief summary
This is a survey of modern history from a global perspective. Part Two begins early in the twentieth century, as older ways of doing things and habits of thought give way. What follows is an era of cataclysmic struggles over what ideas and institutions will take their place. The course concludes in the present day, as communities everywhere are transitioning into a new era of world history. Again we work hard to grasp what is happening and ask: Why? Again we are drawn to pivotal choices made at key moments by individuals and communities.

HARTFORD, Conn. — The father of the gunman who killed 26 people in a Connecticut school shooting has claimed his son's body.
A spokesman for the family said Monday that Peter Lanza claimed the remains of Adam Lanza. He didn't say when the remains were claimed.
The 20-year-old Adam Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14. He also killed his mother in their Newtown home before going on the rampage and then committing suicide.
A private funeral was held earlier this month in New Hampshire for his mother, Nancy Lanza, who was divorced from Peter Lanza.
Peter Lanza lives in Stamford, Conn., and is a tax director at General Electric.
Police have not offered a motive for the killings.
Adam Lanza's Father Claims Son's Body was originally published on newsone.com

You will visit the following 4 places:
Mazatlán is a Nahuatl word meaning "place of deer". It is a city in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, and serves as the municipal seat for the surrounding ''municipio'', known as the Mazatlán Municipality. The city was founded in 1531 by an army of Spaniards and indigenous settlers. By the mid-19th century a large group of immigrants had arrived from Germany. These new citizens developed Mazatlán into a thriving commercial seaport, importing equipment for the nearby gold and silver mines. It served as the capital of Sinaloa from 1859 to 1873. The German settlers also influenced the local music, banda, which is an alteration of Bavarian folk music. The settlers also established the Pacifico Brewery on March 14, 1900. Mazatlán is a socially and economically diverse city. It is a popular vacation and retirement destination for Europeans, Canadians and Americans, and also provides opportunities for working immigrants.
Cabo San Lucas
Cabo San Lucas, commonly called Cabo in American English, is a city at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. Cabo San Lucas together with San José del Cabo is known as Los Cabos. Cabo is a varied destination that captures the essence of Baja Peninsula in its many resorts, championship golf courses, world-class dining and amazing outdoor activities. The city also houses a range of wildlife including rays, sharks, birds like eagles and a range of fish like mahi-mahi (dorado) and stripe marlin. For much of its history, Cabo was a sleepy, remote fishing port which was generally accessed either by ship or a three-hour drive from La Paz. In 1977, the airport to the north of San Jose del Cabo was expanded to handle jet aircraft and international flights, thereby launching the transformation of Cabo into one of the most popular resort destinations in Mexico.
Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is a Mexican beach resort city situated on the Pacific Ocean's Bahía de Banderas. The 2010 census reported Puerto Vallarta's population as 255,725 making it the fifth largest city in the state of Jalisco, and the second largest urban agglomeration in the state after the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area. The City of Puerto Vallarta is the government seat of the Municipality of Puerto Vallarta which comprises the city as well as population centers outside of the city extending from Boca de Tomatlán to the Nayarit border (the Ameca River). Around the Bay, marvellous beaches, lush jungles and sparkling waterfalls offer many opportunities for the adventurous while five star resorts, world-class shopping and gourmet restaurants satisfy even the most sophisticated traveller. Stretching from the south end of Old Town to central downtown, a newly extended and refurbished boardwalk along the ocean, called the Malecon, passes by any number of shops, restaurants, and hotels, and often plays host to mimes, break-dancers, clowns and artists.
San Diego
San Diego, named after Saint Didacus, is the eighth-largest city in the United States and second-largest city in California after Los Angeles, with a population of 1,306,300 (Jul 2009) within its administrative limits on a land area of 372.1 square miles (963.7 km2). The city is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean in Southern California. The urban area of San Diego extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of 2,880,000. San Diego is also the county seat of San Diego County, the 5th largest county, by population, in the United States.

A Dalmatian makes a wonderful pet for families with children but should be supervised with very small kids. Dalmatians are good with other household pets but can be combative with dogs they do not know. Dalmatians have a slight tendency to be high strung or timid if they do not have enough exercise or socialization. Dalmatians are smart but can be stubborn. They respond very well to early, consistent obedience training. Dalmatians need a home with a good sized yard.

There are more than a few great to-do list managers for Android, and while we still think that Wunderlist and Astrid are fantastic tools, these days we're paying a lot of attention to the folks behind Any.DO. We fell in love with their gesture-based to-do app when it was launched, and it's only gotten better with time and updates. Any.DO uses prediction to add items to your to-do list that you've done before so you save time fiddling with the app, supports speech-to-text to add items, syncs with Google Tasks, and more. Best of all, there are enough enticing features on Any.DO's roadmap (a webapp, support for syncing with more services, and more) to keep us coming back.
Mint is still one of your favorite personal finance tools and we definitely agree. If you're a Mint user, you definitely need the Android app—it gives you access to your budget, all of your accounts, and even lets you log transactions against your accounts so you're never in the dark about how your purchases affect your budget and your funds. Mint's recent updates may not have expanded the app's regional support, but it has vastly improved its features.
Dolphin Browser HD
Dolphin Browser is still the best browser for Android in our opinion, and it's most recent set of updates have only made it better. Support for drawn on-screen gestures to accomplish tasks like opening bookmarks and favorite pages, jumping to the top or bottom of the screen, and page navigation are incredibly useful, and Dolphin's built-in Sonar voice command system is actually useful and not as hokey as it might sound. Plus, third parties have rallied around Dolphin with a number of plug-ins and extensions that add functionality to the browser. Still, it's worth mentioning that Dolphin isn't alone anymore. Nipping at its heels are other great options, like the previously mentioned Firefox for Android and freshly stable Chrome for Android, even though the latter only supports ICS devices.
Google Voice
Google Voice is still one of the best utilities to manage your voicemail, SMS messages, and take advantage of low-cost (or in some cases, free) calling on the market. If you have an Android phone, you'll at least want to use Google Voice for your voicemail, but to get the full benefit, you may consider porting your number. Here's how to make that easy. Once you've made the move, here are some useful tips.
Try as we might, we just can't find a Twitter client for Android that we like as much as Twicca. It's our pick for the best, and while there are other alternatives like Plume or the official client, Twicca's color-coding, list support, in-line image viewer (that works over other applications, mind you), and support for built-in geolocaiton, URL shortening, and other advanced features make it a must-try if you're a Twitter user.
While it's not strictly a newsreader, Flipboard does pull in some great news feeds along with the stories and links your friends are posting to Twitter, Google+, and Facebook to create a digital magazine you'll enjoy reading every day. Link your YouTube, Instagram, Google Reader, and Flickr accounts to the service to pull down even more articles, images, and video for you to enjoy, and then flick through it at your own pace. If you see something you like, you can share it back with friends, retweet it, like it, +1 it, whatever you prefer. Plus, now that it's available for all devices, it's a must-download. It's not alone though—Google Currents is just as good looking, and a great alternative option if you're looking for another app to help you stay informed.
Ever since Read It Later changed its name to Pocket, it's been steadily improving, adding features, and making itself at home on the Android platform. See an article, video, or web site you want to read later when you have more time, or just want to read your favorite blogs without the ads or added crap around their pages? Pocket can help you with that—and it's completely free. Free for Android, any any other platform you use it on.
Whether you're an avid reader or you just like sending documents to your Kindle library and reading them on your Android device, the Kindle app for Android is a must-have. Amazon's massive library of books for download, the Kindle lending library, and support for other documents make it worth the space it'll use on your phone.
If you want a truly useful voice assistant for your Android device, Vlingo is your best bet. We've mentioned them before, as well as alternatives, but we still think Vlingo stands above the rest—partially because it's continually updated, and partially because it puts gimmick on the back burner and focuses on trying to be actually helpful. Vlingo can search the web, get driving directions, update your social networks for you, search for nearby businesses, and more, all using your voice. Turn on its hands-free mode and you can call out to it and use it without touching your phone.
Turn-by-turn navigation is standard on every Android phone thanks to Google Maps Navigation, but if you're ready to turn navigation into something more than getting from point a to point b, Waze is the app that'll do it. We think it's the best for Android and for the iPhone. Whether you're looking for cheap gas, or just want to know whether there's an accident between you and your destination, slow traffic, or a bunch of speed traps, Waze's crowdsources driving directions and road information can make sure you get to your destination quickly and safely, all completely for free.
Bounce is in beta, but it's already one of the best tools on Android to help proactively get you to where you need to be. The app works with your calendar and your phone's GPS to send you push notifications when you need to leave for a meeting, taking into account traffic and other obstacles in your way. The app will notify you an hour ahead of your appointment, and then again right when it's time for you to get in the car or start walking to your destination. In our tests, it did pretty well. Honestly, it's the closest thing you'll get to Google Now until you get Jelly Bean.
Music, Photos, and Video
Google Play Music
Google Play Music has shed its beta tag, and while it's still only available in the US, we think it's a fantastic media player and library that you should look into. The Google Play Music app is already on your Android phone, and you have room in your Google Music account for thousands of songs that you can stream anywhere you go and listen to at any time. Add in the fact that any music you purchase from Google Play Music is added to your account and doesn't count against your storage cap, and you have a pretty good cloud music service, perfect for Android users.
Spotify has shown Android users a lot of love, bringing some particularly sweet updates to its mobile app and now offering streaming radio to its users for free—the service is still one of the pricier streaming music services out there, but it's one of the most feature-rich. Free users can use the Spotify app to listen to cloud music (with ads) or just to manage their own music collections, while Premium users ($10/mo) get the full mobile experience: the ability to search and play Spotify's whole collection at any time, see what friends are listening to, and more.
Even if you use another streaming music service, Pandora still wins for being easy to use, almost ubiquitous, and having an often deeper and richer selection of music than some other free streaming radio apps available. The mobile app is free to use, any stations you make are also available on the desktop, and you can drop the cash for a $36/year Pandora One account to get higher quality music and no ads. You can bookmark tracks and artists for future use, buy songs you like when you hear them, and share stations with friends. Pandora has all but replaced the radio in my car, and Pandora ONe subscriptions are a fraction of other, often monthly, streaming music services.
If you're a podcast junkie, listening when you exercise, or on your commute to and from work, DoggCatcher is a must-download. The app supports audio and video podcasts, variable speed playback, off-hours downloads or Wi-Fi only downloads, and while it'll set you back $5 USD, many of you thought it was more than worth the money when we looked at the best mobile podcast catchers.
MoboPlayer is our favorite media player for Android, and we love it so much we want to include it here too. MoboPlayer has never balked at a file we've thrown at it, supports subtitles built-in to video and subtitle files, multi-audio streams, video streamed from network sources, and virtually any file you can get onto your Android device. If you have a file that gives you trouble, select "software decoding" and it'll usually play, or there may even be a codec available to download for that type of file. Best of all, it's fast, lightweight, and completely free.
Instagram landed on Android and rocketed to be one of the fastest downloaded Android apps ever, and for good reason. The formerly iOS-only photo sharing service and social network already has a massive user base, and makes it easy to snap and share photos of your life with your friends and either keep them behind Instagram's walls or post them publicly where everyone can see. The photo filters and editing tools leave a bit to be desired, especially in the face of strong competition from competitors, but if you're in it for the social aspect, Instagram is where it's at.
Camera Zoom FX
The stock camera app on most Android phones will get the job done, but if you want advanced tools to make sure you get the perfect shot and editing tools to tweak the photo after you've taken it, Camera Zoom FX is the app for you. It'll cost you a few bucks, but when you consider it gives you control over your camera that even the stock app won't, offers steady shot and burst shooting modes, and on top of it all offers photo filters you can apply to your shots to give them a vintage or artistic feel, you'll see it's worth the money, and worth our pick as best camera app for Android.
If you want to edit your photos, tweak the colors, brightness, contrast, and in general make them nice and pretty before you publish them to the web, Snaptastic is the app for you. Snaptastic comes loaded with presets to optimize your photos, but you can tweak everything from the color temperature and saturation if you want. When you're finished, you can post the finished result to Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, and more. The app will set you back $2.99, but there's a free lite version to try before buying.
If you're a Netflix subscriber, this app is a must-download. Not only can you stream video anywhere you go through Netflix Instant, over Wi-Fi or 3G, but you can put down TV shows and movies you were watching in one room and pick them up on your Android device right where you left off. You can browse Netflix's massive catalog of streaming media and manage your account-making it easy to pass the time on the subway, or just catch up on your favorite show in between meetings.
Titanium Backup
Your smartphone is essentially a tiny computer in your pocket, and it carries a lot of important data on it that you want to make sure you keep safe. We've shown you how to set up an automated backup process for your Android phone, but to do it, you'll need Titanium Backup. Do yourself a favor and pick this up. Even though it's great at backing up your phone, it also gives you incredible contol over the apps installed on your phone, and can remove or freeze carrier-installed crapware.
Dropbox hasn't changed much, but odds are you have a Dropbox account, and it's one of the best and fastest way to get files on and off your Android device, whether they're files you've downloaded, APKs you want to install, photos you've taken, images you want to use as wallpaper, or music you want to hear. Best of all, your Dropbox files don't take up space on your phone until you download them, so it's a great way to add a ton of space to your device without physically changing it.
Google Drive
Google's Dropbox competitor, Google Drive, does more than just store and sync files: it also gives you access to your Google Docs on the go, which is great if you work in Docs all the time. Plus, with offline document editing, Drive is a great addition to your device. Plus, you can never have too much cloud storage for files, music, and photos, and Drive gives you plenty, even if you already use Dropbox or another service. We really like Google Drive, and even stacked up against Dropbox, we say: "Why not have both?"
Tasker is the most powerful Android automation tool we've seen, and while there are other apps that approach it in quality, Tasker still gives you unprecedented control over your phone. Whether you want Pandora to launch as soon as you put your phone in your car dock, or you want Wi-Fi to turn on as soon as you plug in your phone to charge, Tasker can do it for you. It does have a learning curve though, so if you're looking for something simpler, give On{X} a try.
SwiftKey is your favorite Android keyboard, and we can see why. It has unparalleled text prediction, will scan through your Facebook and Twitter posts, emails, and SMS messages to learn how you type, and in many cases knows what you meant to say even if you type gibberish. It'll cost you a few bucks, but it's worth it for a keyboard that saves you so much time typing, and makes composing emails and messages on your phone that much easier. Not into tapping keys? Try Swype a try if you're looking for a different way to type.
Senti Wayk
As alarm clocks go, Senti Wayk isn't the most feature rich (that title goes to our favorite, Alarm Clock XTreme), but it's grown on us a lot—mostly because instead of just wake us up, it delivers useful information as soon as we get out of bed. You can tell the clock to snooze by speaking "snooze" out loud or by waving your hand over the screen. When you get up, it'll tell you the temperature outside, let you know of any early morning appointments or meetings you have on your calendar, and read you the news from a few RSS feeds while you get ready. It's part alarm clock, part personal assistant, and we like that.
ES FIle Explorer
There's no shortage of file management tools to help you dig around the folders on your Android phone that are largely hidden from your UI, but even though your manufacturer may have included one, it usually keeps you restricted to your music, photos, and other user folders. ES File Explorer, on the other hand, gives you complete freedom to navigate your phone's file system. We think it's the best of the crop, mostly because it also gives you control over applications, lets you perform batch file operations, has a built-in FTP client, lets you search all of the files on your device, and more.
The Extended Pack
GO Launcher EX
Aside from being your favorite Android launcher, GO Launcher EX gives you incredible control over your phone's interface, and combined with the other GO apps at Google Play and the themes and icon sets available for it, you can transform your Android experience into whatever you want it to be—it's up to you. If you just wish you could get your hands on the Ice Cream Sandwich launcher, or want a lightweight launcher that works like a charm, try Holo Launcher, it's a great alternative.
DJ Run
If you're a runner who loves music, you know how important a good playlist full of motivating music can help push you through to the end of your workout, or encourage you to take it up a level. DJ Run for Android will play music for you based on your activity level, so as you run harder or faster, the app will select songs from your music selection with more driving beats. When you start to slow down, the app will bring the music down a notch to match. We took a good look at the app not too long ago, and thought it was worth a download.
Wave Control
If you're sitting at home, at your desk, or driving while listening to music, you don't have to stop what you're doing to change songs, or even touch the screen. With Wave Control, just wave your hand over the screen to skip forward or back, pause the track, or continue playing. The app is free (although there's a $3 pro version that removes ads and gives you customizable controls) and works like a charm.
Part package tracking, part shopping organizer, Slice is both an Android app and a web service that can, at a glance, let you know what you've ordered online, whether it's shipped and on its way to your house, who the shipping carrier is, and when it's expected to arrive. You can see easily where your package currently is, how much you've spent at any retailer, and will even notify you if something you've purchased dropped in price afterward so you can claim your discount. It'll even keep track of your GroupOn, Living Social, and other daily deal vouchers for you.
This list is hardly exclusive. There are plenty of apps we mentioned last year but excluded this year either because they're in our Android App Directory or because they're so well known, you probably already have them installed. Do you have Android apps not listed that you can't live without? Share your favorites below.

2008 is going to be a good year! That's what my dad promised me when I visited my parents in October.
It's not like 2007 was bad year, but it certainly will not go down as one of the best in my life. There were a lot of ups and downs and when 2007 bid farewell, there was not much of a love loss on my side. Yes, in a way I was glad it was over.
Counting down the last few seconds, I secretly wished that my dad's words would be heard from that higher force somewhere up there.
I lost my grandma in 2007 and that really put me down for several weeks. It jolted me out of my dreams and ideas I always have floating around in my head. It made me face the cold hard truth. And it was not one I liked. She never got a chance to meet Soeren and I carried that guilt around for ages. I still have it!
I had a hard time dealing with the loss and it made me change many things in my life. I decided to quit my job, to give my head time to think of what I want in life. The last few months have been good for me.
I feel a new positive energy getting stronger in me and that negative energy seems to be loosing the fight.
It also really does seem like 2008 will be a good year. There are signs at least.
Like in the second week of this month a friend, D. and I went to the movies to see the premiere of P.S. I Love You. The movie was showing at a CineLady special - targeted for ladies of course. So, we got glasses of free champagne and little snacks before the movie started and there was a raffle draw. I was just saying to D. that I never win anything, as in the very same second my seat number was called out!
I was baffled for a split second and the entire movie theater seemed to be waiting. I checked my seat number again and then timidly put my hand up. I did win - nothing big but still a sign. I won two free tickets to the next CineLady. And that is where my second sign came in. At least I believe it to be a sign.
I love Jane Austen. She is my heroine in many ways. I love her writing style, her characters and the way her stories take an unexpected turn. I have read all of her books, some even two or three times and so when the tickets I won was to go see the premiere of The Jane Austen Book Club, I just wondered if someone was trying to tell me a secret message.
Then there was the great fact that Liz Craine from Culinate contacted me and was interested in featuring me and my blog. I was stumped. This week Culinate is featuring What's For Lunch, Honey? You can read the article here. I am rather chuffed about it, especially since one of my pictures is also featured on their home page. I join a few other great bloggers, like Ilva and Pille, who have been featured in the past.
OK I know I could go on through this whole year looking for signs, but I am thinking positively because there have been other things that are showing me things will be good this year. Things that are have not matured yet for me to tell you. But I will in due time. But for now, I just wanted to let you know - my dad never breaks his promises.
This tart also does not break any promises. It's simply seductive in every way. There is rich and sweet chocolate and tangy cranberries infused with a slight hint of ginger, and with the creamy and smooth mascarpone, it promises to be addicting!
The tart is based on a recipe from Epicurious.com with a few slight modifications on my side. Hope you enjoy it!
This month I want you to be caring, loving and comforting to yourself. I want you to make your favorite Comfort Foods and bring it along to my mingle. Look forward to seeing all there! Deadline is February 4th.

Cranberry Topping
120 ml cranberry juice - divided use
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
340 g fresh or frozen cranberries
150 g sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon peel - finely grated
1 teaspoon fresh ginger - peeled and grated
Pinch of salt
4 tablespoons candied ginger - finely chopped
200-250 g chocolate cookies - finely ground in processor (I used simple butter chocolate cookies)
150 g plain milk chocolate - melted (I melted a Milka candy bar in the microwave)
50 g sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
90 g unsalted butter, melted
Mascarpone Filling
250 g mascarpone cheese
65 g powdered sugar
120 ml chilled whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For cranberry topping
Pour half of the cranberry juice into a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin over it. Let stand until softened, about 15 minutes.
Combine the rest of the cranberry juice, cranberries, sugar, lemon juice and peel, ginger and salt in medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Reduce heat to medium and simmer until cranberries become tender. Do not let them pop and make sure the remain plump, about 5 minutes. Strain into bowl and set the cranberries aside.
Add the gelatin mixture to the hot juice in bowl, stirring until gelatin dissolves. Stir the cranberries back into juice. Chill until cranberry mixture is cold and slightly thickened. This will take at least at least 8 hours or leave overnight. This mixture can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
Stir chopped candied ginger into cranberry mixture.
For crust
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 200 degrees C. Combine chocolate cookie crumbs, sugar, and salt in medium bowl. Add 5 tablespoons melted butter and stir until crumbs feel moist when pressed together with fingertips, adding remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter if mixture is dry. Pour the melted chocolate into the crumbs mixture and stir to coat.
Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom and up sides of tart pan. Bake chocolate crust for approx. 10 minutes until beginning to set and slightly crisp, pressing with spoon if crust puffs during baking. Transfer tart pan to rack and cool crust completely before filling. Place in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the chocolate to set.
For mascarpone filling
Using electric mixer, beat all ingredients except ginger in medium bowl just until thick enough to spread. Do not over beat or mixture may curdle. Spread filling in cooled crust. Cover and chill overnight
Spoon cranberry mixture evenly over mascarpone filling. Chill at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours. Cut tart into wedges and serve cold, drizzled with chocolate sauce.
Sensational in every way. Crispy, chocolaty crust with a soft creamy cheese filling and the icing on the cake, literally, is the tart cranberry topping with a delicate flavor of ginger. This dessert really promises you everything you craved for. I promise ;-)

Cantuccini Plum Cheesecake
Bostini Cream Pie
Panna Cotta with Blackberry Sauce
Chocolate Caramel Tart
Banana Brioche Pudding with Bailey's Caramel Cream
This is for this month's Sugar High Friday being hosted over at CandyRecapper with the interesting theme of Candy. My Milka chocolate bar in the crust helped make the crust crispier and chocolaty.

So here is the answer to the big question "What I did with the Daler Bora"
A couple weeks back my Ma made a borar jhol which was just too good. It was so good that I could not stop eating it. When Ma is here, I don't ask for recipes and then lament loss of those recipes only when she leaves. So any way this bora'r jhol that she made was a light soupy gravy with potatoes and brinjal and the recipe sounded like this Macher Jhol except of course this had no Fish but Lentil Fritters.
Did I say it tasted awesome ? I did ?
Ok, so is that how I made this dish ? No. Of course not.I have ADD, I cannot follow instructions.
Last weekend morning the entire family was out on errands and me & BS were the only one home. Not because we have the laziest bones in the whole family but because I had to take BS for her swim class later in the day. Having some time to myself I experimented with the Appe Pan and made those daler bora. Yeah , there are full grown adults(like the husband) in my house who interfere with sagely advices when I cook so I need to save all experimentation for such times.
After I made those tiny boras, I decided to make a Bora'r Jhaal, the stress is on the word Jhaal here as Jhaal is different from Jhol.
I had no idea about making a jhaal. Does that deter me ? No. Of course not. I have a hypothetical confidence in my abilities syndrome.
So I heated up some Oil. Once the oil was hot and fiery, added a tsp of Nigella Seeds/Kalonji and 3-4 slit green chili.
The spices started popping and I added quarter of a red onion chopped fine.
When the onions started browning, in went half of a red juicy medium sized tomato chopped fine.
A tsp of ginger paste followed suit
The tomato was stirred and cooked till it was mush. Satisfied by the tomato's final looks, I threw in a potato chopped longitudinally. Don't know why I say "longitudinally", actually chopped in quarters would do just fine. A pinch of turmeric and frying the potatoes for 2-3 minutes till they were golden ensued.
Now the spices went in, a tsp of Corriander Powder, 1/2 tsp of Cumin powder and 1/2 tsp of red chili Powder was all that I added.
Everything mixed together with a sprinkle of water and sauted for the next 2-3 minutes till the masala seems you know cooked.
Add about 1 cup of water, salt to taste and cover and cook till potatoes are done.
Once the potatoes are cooked add the bora/lentil fritters, about 12-14 of them and let them simmer in the gravy for 3-4 minutes.
The fritters will soak up the gravy fast and become plump, so you might want to remove them from the gravy and add back only at time of serving.
So this is how I made the borar jhaal, put it in the serving dish, making a mental note that I should increase the gravy a little since the boras had soaked up most of the liquid and took BS out for her class. Before leaving I told Ma, who had just come in that I had made a Borar Jhaal for lunch.
An hour and half later, sitting down for lunch, the dish that I had cooked that very morning, my borar jhaal looked very different from what I had last seen of it. Not only did it look different, it also tasted very different from the dish that I had cooked. It tasted very very good, but different, different from my vision of borar jhaal.
"Did you do something to this dish?", I asked my Mom
"Hyaan, tui to bolli jhaal, oita jhaal hoini, ami sorshe bata diye ar ek bar photalam" (You said it was a jhaal, that was no jhaal, jhaal has to have mustard paste so I added mustard paste and gave it a good simmer) she said, nonchalantly.
"But I wanted to put it in the blog, how much mustard paste did you add", I wailed.
"Ta jani na, oi ek chamoch hobey"(I am not sure, maybe one spoon), my Ma replied
"What spoon, teaspoon or tablespoon?", I continued grilling, trying to think what my blog readers with their critique remarks would say to that.
"Kichu ekta likhe de to, blog, blog korish na"(Write something, anything and don't nag me about your stupid blog), she was now visibly irritated at the offspring's ignorance and did not encourage any further questions. Ok, she did not say "stupid" either but you could sense it.
So for a jhaal you need to add mustard paste, maybe a tsp of mustard paste would suffice for this quantity. I honestly do not know. My Mom might have put in other things too. If you don't know my Mom, go ahead skip the mustard, but never ever tell her that.
Daler Bora -- Lentil fritters
