Tips on marinating/tenderizing London Broil
- c

Firing up a London Broil on the grill this weekend. Last time I made London Broil, however, it was tougher than I would have liked. Anyone have any marinating/tenderizing tips to make this cut more tender?
re: sourpatch
Actually I always pound the hell out of my flank steak with a metal meat mallot, (talk about aliteration). Maybe it wouldn't be London Broil anymore? London Flail?
I really enjoy London Broil on the grill. I marinate mine in oil, Worcestershire,sweet paprika, lemon juice, and lots of smashed garlic, The lemon juice has a tenderizing effect. Slice it thinly on the diagonal and should be fine. I'll see if I can find the exact proportions for you. It shouldn't be too tart, but it should be garlicky.
re: Pat Hammond
Sounds good! How long do you marinate it and do you use flank steak? Ours have always been rather tough, but we love the flavor. Thanks!
re: Donna - MI
Here's my marinade recipe:
Put all in a jar with a screw-on top:
1/2 C oil, 1/4 C lemon juice, 1 T paprika (sweet), 2T Worcestershire, dash Tabasco, 2 t salt, 2 t sugar, 2-3 cloves garlic crushed. Shake it up, pour it on, and leave a few hours or even longer. I've even left it over night.
I've always used a cut of meat that was, indeed, called London Broil. Maybe that's a regional thing?
It should do the trick for any beef.
re: Pat Hammond
Thanks, Pat! Can't wait to try it. I will look for a cut called London Broil - hopefully named that in MI.
re: Donna - MI
Around here it's usually a shoulder steak.

Thanks for the marinade tips! What do you think the optimal time is for marinating? Overnight? I know it makes a big flavor difference, but does marination length make a difference in tenderness?
I doubt the marinade is the issue.
Marinades are more for flavor than for "tenderizing"; it's the amoung of salt in them that can act as a brine to help retain moisture in cooking; excessive amounts of alcohol or acid can simply make the outer layer of meat mushy. Madeleine Kamman, bless her, has long tried to disabuse people about what marinades actually accomplish (if I remember correctly, she strongly advocates against using marinades made with wine or vinegar that have not been properly cooked and then chilled before use.).
Often, a better result can be obtained by brining (for moisture retentino) followed by a dry rub (for flavor on the outer layer). And, if it is a tough cut of meat, grilling it indirectly after an initial sear on direct heat to drive juices inward.
One method I use is to sear the meat, then cook at 200 deg...check periodically. The slow cooking will usually result in a fairly tender piece of meat. Of course, it is easier to do this with a gas grill, but if you are careful, can do with charcoal OFF direct heat.
Don't forget to slice ACROSS the grain when serving. Makes a world of difference in the mouth.
re: tissue
And I have a friend who rubs papaya on meat as a tenderizer. I have to admit when I've had her grilled steak, I've found it mushy instead of tender, but the idea might be sound. Do papaya and asian pear share some tenderizing enzyme?
re: The Turtle (Bay) Dove
And I have used kiwi for the same results -- which works. I got the tip from the dok suni cookbook.
re: The Turtle (Bay) Dove
Pineapple, too; the learning, however, is that most chefs would say it makes it mushy, not tender, though.
re: The Turtle (Bay) Dove
I just rub the pear on the meat before I actually marinade for cuts like flank or also pork.
A Korean friend of mine showed me how to do this a couple years ago and it has worked okay for me. We were making kalbi. I didn't know that it made the meat mushy. Wow. I will be more careful next time and be more sparing. Or not leave it for too long before cooking.
I think these fruits have similar enzymes that tenderize. I know that the enzyme in pineapple is called bromelin but I don't know if it is the same one in the other fruits mentioned. It doesn't work with pineapple juice though, gotta use it fresh.
I think dry rubbing would add a lot more flavor than a marinade, however, since london broil is not as tender as other cuts (rib eye), losing the moisture content might make it more chewy.
Here's an outstanding marinade for both London broil and flank steak. I'm famous for it with my friends, but have to give credit to my old school roommate's family for the recipe.
Dry ingredients
1 chopped onion per 2 lbs of steak
As many cloves of minced garlic as suits you.
Rub the garlic into the meat in a big wide deep dish or bowl. I usually use a large piece of tupperware, for the nice tight lid.
Wet ingredients. No particular quantities, but in roughly descending order:
Soy sauce
orange juice
Coke or Pepsi (or any other carbonated beverage, really - all I had on hand once was a raspberry Hansens and it worked just fine)
peanut oil
red wine vinegar
worcestershire sauce
chili sauce (to your taste, but don't be shy b/c the heat doesn't stay too strong)
Once you've added all this, the meat will be pretty much submerged. And, it will smell terrific. Marinate at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Before cooking pat it dry. DO NOT DISCARD THE MARINADE.
Sear the meat over high charcoal heat, to med rare.
Now, here's the key step. Put the marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil while the meat is cooking. Reduce it down, strain out the onions and garlic, and thicken with a bit of corn starch or arrow root. This makes the most awesome, tasty gravy.
A testament. I recently brought 5 1/2 pounds of London broil done this way to a barbeque, where there was also a ton of chicken and skewered shrimp and way too much total meat for the group. Lots of leftover chicken and shrimp, but not a scrap of steak remained.
re: Tom M.
I'm currently marinating my London Broil in Tom's marinade above. However, I don't have cornstarch to thicken the gravy. Does anyone have any ideas for substitutions? Thanks!
re: mrsjagirard
A rue? fat + flour, the fat can be butter, oil, lard, etc... Maximum thickening the shorter/lighter it's cooked the thicker it will be. Just add the above to it after it's cooked.
I have found buttermilk to be a great meat tenderizer-just add whatever herbs, etc you like to it for flavor.
Hi, chowbabe:
As others here have pointed out, marinading for flavor and tenderness are two mostly-independent things.
I am somewhat surprised that none of the many good answers you have received so far mention glutamates. These amino acids are found in useful quantities in things like tomato paste, soysauce, and anchovies. Just a little glutamate in your marinade (not enough to noticeably alter the *taste* of the dish) is often enough to enhance the "umami" savoriness flavor dramatically.
I also like the effect of evoo and red wine on marinated red meats. They do something to the structure of the tissue that I consider to "relax" it, if not tenderize it.
Papain (the principal enzyme in papaya) will also tend to tenderize cuts like flank, but you need to be judicious about how much you use. sherriberri is right about buttermilk, too.
My last tip is to use a vacuum chamber when you marinade. It both reduces the time for the cut to "take" the marinade, but also pulls the marinade more deeply into the tissue than it would otherwise reach in force.
well.... ummm... flank steak is not a tender cut of meat. a good marinade will help keep it moist when cooking, and you really don't want to get past medium, I wouldn't take it past medium rare. As a few people pointed out you wnat to be sure to cut it across the grain and slice it thin, around a thick quarter inch.
Finally I notice that the OP posted this back in 2002, wonder how the steak turned out?
re: KaimukiMan
Very very well done, KaimukiMan.
Flank steak is not supposed to be fall-apart tender, and a marinade only seasons the outside crust -- which is what we want, actually. We want beef to taste like beef!
If you go inside with a tenderizer, you are likely to get a partially digested texture. But a good chew on a medium-rare flank steak, cut across the grain, with a little blood, is why many of us love flank steak in the first place.

Dwight Howard is good. Really good. He is one of the five best players in the world. He is the best center in the world. He is so good that he is in that special I-only-need-one-damn-name-because-THAT'S-how-good-I-am category. (Others: LeBron, Kobe, Dwyane.)
But here's another thing about Dwight Howard, superstar, Olympian, Atlanta native, solid citizen, blahblahblah: He has jumped the rails. He can – and almost certainly will – opt out of his contract with the Orlando Magic following this season, assuming the team doesn't trade him before that happens.
The Magic should have dealt Howard before the season. They have not handled this situation well, and now the Magic appear in the midst of an early-season crumble, having lost four straight and six of eight. But there's one person who looks worse than anybody in the Orlando front office

So according to an exclusive from The Wrap, JJ. Abrams is to direct Star Wars: Episode VII and I couldn't agree with Disney more. This man is famed for his ability to write and direct compelling Sci-Fiction/Space Operas – trust me you'll know his work. He created Lost, Alias, Cloverfield and reinvigorated the Star Trek franchise in 2009. Yes, the director of the next Star Wars film is involved as director in two franchises that have had a rivalry since time began… well, at least since that thing that looked like a moon but turned out to be a giant space station appeared on our screens in 1977 – one of those monumental moments in the world of Sci-Fi.
The general verdict on Abrams directing the next Star Wars seems to be positive, however, fans don't want the lens flare that was used in Star Trek. In case you don't know what that is, it's a camera technique sometimes used by directors to basically create 'cool' looking light effects. Luckily, even JJ admitted to using too much of it in Star trek and that's just not how Star Wars rolls.
With a great writer like Michael Arndt, who wrote the Oscar winning Little Miss Sunshine and the screenplay to Toy Story 3, Star Wars looks like it's surrounding itself with the right people to take the franchise to the peak of awesomeness that the original trilogy experienced, we have our fingers crossed!

I went to bed last night thinking about Pretty Little Liars. Normally, this is not a bad thing, but the past two nights, I've went to bed terribly frustrated with the show in general. Yesterday, after reading the cavalier attitude of Marlene King about how she feels confident that Ezra can be redeemed because Paige was redeemed, I was even more frustrated.
In fact, I was livid. I was livid because she equated the actions of Paige to those of Ezra.
Say what?
What Paige did is not and could never be the same thing as the actions of Ezra Fitz.
The actions of a closeted, bullied, gay teenager are not the same as a grown man committing statutory rape and stalking teenage girls in the name of a story.
And to call what Paige did to Emily a drowning….
I cannot even begin to articulate my level of disappointment with that statement. It was not a drowning. Many other people have expressed this better as to why it wasn't, so I won't get into that. It was merely a scare tactic by a scared teenager. Unfortunately, by calling it a drowning, you give the Emison fans and Paige haters more fire for their shipping war. "See even Marlene says it was a drowning. Paige is an abuser!" Ugh….the flame burns hot again.
The bigger issue is Paige's actions compared to Ezra's. I don't even understand how that comparison can even be made. Do the writer's really lack a fundamental grasp of morality? More likely, they do but overlook morality in the name of bad writing and ratings. Whatever teh reason, the very comparison is vile and disgusting.
The two things are not even remotely the same.
When we first met closeted Paige McCullers in Season 1, she had already been bullied so badly by Alison for being gay that she had self-harmed and almost committed suicide. Her competitive fire was the only thing that kept her alive. Paige's self-loathing was so palpable it strangled ever aspect of her lego-hair, cardigan wearing, regimented life of control. Paige was a survivor and her careful self-control was her way of surviving. Unfortunately, when Emily returned to swimming, the old feelings that she had been carefully controlling exploded, and she began to feel things for Emily that she absolutely could not let herself feel, not again. She had been vulnerable to Emily once before, and the consequences were dire. Even if that Emily Fields was Ali wearing one of her many masks of manipulation, the damage had been done. Paige had opened herself up to Emily and let herself feel, let herself hope. And it backfired. Horribly. Paige was mocked and manipulated and blackmailed for her feelings of hope and love. She barely survived.
story time when i was 16 my mom and i were watching ellen and my mom says
'oh look my favorite lesbian!'

Yeah. I'm okay. Thank you. Its just… someone I really didn't want to find it found my blog. She isn't to happy about what's in it…
I hate you…. I couldn't actually hate you but don't you understand? This is the only place I'm safe in this world. No one where we live is accepting. No one understands. You of all people don't. You want me to delete the only thing that makes me happy. And with it goes the people who care about me most. When I feel so alone that I don't want to live anymore, this is where I come. My dad would have me committed, my mom would cry, and I don't want to hear or see it. You. You would remind me how the life I'm "choosing" to live is sending me to hell. Every night I'm alone I cry myself to sleep hearing your voice or my moms or Tara's or my dads telling me that I'm a sinner. That I need fixed. This is the place where no one tells me where I'm going, or how bad of a person I am. They are broken just like I am, but I don't try to fix them and they don't try to fix me. I DON'T WANT FIXED. I don't want to hear you tell me to delete it, I don't want to hear you talk about my posts or my obsession with Paily, or anything about any of it. If I could get you to just stop being on my blog for ever I would. I'd beg. Because this is my runaway. Let me run…

A first–ever paranormal fund–raising event we first covered a week ago has undergone a venue change due to expected larger crowds.
SOPAH Paranormal, or Seekers of Paranormal and History, are holding the first annual "Para–Raiser" event Saturday, January 26th.
Organizers believe, with the rise in popularity of the subject of paranormal research, they could combine the all–day event with a fund–raiser for a local non–profit group.
This year, SOPAH has picked The Breast Cancer Detection Center of Alaska as their recipient.
A $5 per person donation is suggested to attend the event, which kicks off at 10 am on the 26th.
Initially, the Dog Musher's Hall was chosen as the location, however, SOPAH quickly need a larger venue, and luckily, it is a location that they have actually investigated before, the Badger Building at the Tanana Valley State Fairgrounds.
Ryan French Founder, S.O.P.A.H. Paranormal, told us "We hope that everybody will come, whether you're a skeptic, whether you're a believer, you want to believe but you're not sure, because the whole purpose of it is not really the paranormal factor of it. The purpose of it is to raise money for The Breast Cancer Detection Center, that's are sole purpose, so even if you don't really care for the paranormal, you're not that big into it, at least come out and show your support for the Breast Cancer Detection Center, because, to us, that's the biggest thing."
SOPAH is still in need of volunteers to help man the many booths and concessions for the event.
If you can help, please give SOPAH paranormal a call at 210–275–7984, or email them at northernmostparanormal <at> yahoo.com

Everton Heroes N-S
O'Neill was spotted by an Everton scout playing junior football and was invited across the Irish Sea for trials. The son of a golf professional he was taken on in 1949 and served the club very well indeed. He played in the 1953 FA Cup semi-final and shared the keeping duties with Harry Leyland during the promotion campaign of 1953-54. He won 17 caps for the Irish Republic and was renowned as a safe and reliable keeper. He eventually lost his place in the team to Albert Dunlop and he joined Stoke City for £5,000 in July 1960. He later had spells at Darlington and Port Vale.

Parker was a classic full-back - fast, adventurous and strong in the tackle. He joined Everton from Falkirk in 1958, having already represented Scotland, for whom he eventually won 15 caps. His Blues debut was delayed though when he was posted to Cyprus to do his National Service with the Royal Scots Fusiliers! He won a Championship medal in 1962-63 and left the club in September 1965 to join Southport, before joining Ballymena United as player-manager. He returned to Southport as manager in May 1970.

Parker was a tall, stylish inside forward with two good feet and the ability to score goals as well as create them. He arrived at Everton as an amateur in 1947 but didn't make his full debut until 1951. He often appeared casual in his approach to the game but he was a fine goalscorer who found the net four times in four matches during Everton's run through to the 1953 FA Cup semi-final. He left Goodison in May 1956 to sign for Bury.
Apps: 176 Goals: 89
Pickering was one of Everton's finest post-war strikers...and possibly the unluckiest. He missed out on the 1966 FA Cup final team and had to watch as his replacement, Mike Trebilcock, stole the glory. But Pickering was a truly class striker with a wonderful goals ratio at Everton after joining from Blackburn Rovers for £85,000 in 1964. He scored a hat-trick on his Blues debut against Nottingham Forest and then repeated the feat for England against USA. He left Everton in August 1967 when he signed for Birmingham City and he later played for Blackpool and had another spell at Blackburn.
Apps: 115 Goals: 70
Settle was one of the game's most instinctive finishers at the turn of the 20th century. He was devastatingly quick and could have been a first-class sprinter had he not chosen football. He started his career with Bolton before moving to Bury and then, in 1899, Everton. He won 6 caps for England and played for The Toffees in both the 1906 and 1907 FA Cup finals before moving to Stockport County in 1908.
Apps: 269 Goals: 97
An integral part of one of Everton's most successful ever sides, Sheedy spent a glorious decade at Goodison Park, winning two league titles, an FA Cup and a European Cup Winners' Cup. Born in Wales, the winger earned 46 caps for the Republic of Ireland and a reputation as one of the most lethal set-piece takers in the world game. Perhaps his most famous free-kick moment came against Ipswich in 1985 when, from 25 yards, he crashed the ball home to the goalkeeper's left only to be pulled up by the referee. Forced into a retake, 'Sheeds' duly curled the ball in the opposite corner and turned away to celebrate. Named in the PFA Team of the Year in both the championship-winning campaigns of 1985 and 1987, Sheedy was also on the scoresheet on one of the Club's greatest ever nights - the 3-1 Cup Winners' Cup final victory over Rapid Vienna in Rotterdam.

Although he only ever played 32 games for Everton, the fans saw enough of Southworth to know that he was a prodigious talent. He joined Everton from Blackburn Rovers for £400 in August 1893 and in the December he scored TEN goals in two consecutive games - four against Sheffield Wednesday and six the following week against West Brom. Sadly, injury forced him into early retirement but he also managed to net three goals in his three England appearances. He later became a professional violinist!
Apps: 32 Goals: 36
Stein was a model professional who had the distinction of scoring Everton's first-ever goal at Wembley when he netted in the 1933 FA Cup final. A Scotsman, he joined Everton from Dunfermline in 1928 and was part of the Blues teams that won the 2nd Division, 1st Division and FA Cup in successive seasons between 1930 and 1933. He moved on to Burnley in October 1936 before ending his career at New Brighton.
Apps: 215 Goals: 65
Stevens played for the victorious Bolton Wanderers FA Cup team at Wembley against Manchester United in 1958 before joining Everton in March 1962, just days before Bobby Collins left for Leeds United. He won a League Championship medal just over a year later and showed himself to be a midfield player of rare strength and determination. He was eventually transferred to Oldham Athletic in December 1965 and later had a spell at Tranmere Rovers.
Apps: 142 Goals: 22
Stevenson scored 11 goals as Everton won the 1938-39 League Championship. He was one of the finest ball-players of his generation and although he was born in Dublin he flourished at Glasgow Rangers before joining Everton in 1934. He had an unerring ability to ride rough challenges and he was always a very intelligent footballer. In total, Stevenson won 17 caps for Northern Ireland and 7 for the Irish Republic.
Apps: 271 Goals: 90

Weekly Health Tips
Make sure to get your does of Vitamin D and K. The two work together to promote a healthy calcium absorption when delivering calcium to the bones. It also helps maintain arterial health.
Vitamin D is absorbed through sunlight. Lack of it can lead to poor bones, muscles and increase cardiovascular diseases.
Vitamin K1 can be found in leafy green vegetables (spinach, etc) and Vitamin K2 can be found in meat, eggs and diary.
Of course, it is best to just find something, like a supplement, that can allow you to take in high concentrations of Vitamin D & K at the same time!

A Daily Word - June 10, 2010
An author tells the story of her mother's battle with lung cancer, and how the doctors fought to save her life. "When they came to drain the fluid off of her lungs," this daughter wrote, "I would hold mom's hands and look into her eyes with my own. She was in agony. There may be a treatment that is more painful, but I doubt it." She said her mother tried to smile through the pain, but kept asking, "Is it over? Are they almost through?" As the doctors shook their heads, she would reassure: "Almost, Mom. Just a little bit more."
Then her mother's face brightened. "Joyce," she asked her daughter, "honey, would you sing for me?" Without looking up the daughter could see the doctor's gaze. She was about to tell her mother she had no voice at all when the doctor interrupted and said, "Mrs. Miller, Joyce has been here seven days a week around the clock. She's tired. She probably can't sing. Don't ask her to." At that, the mother's patience snapped and she fixed her eyes on the doctor. "Listen, sonny. If you paid for as many voice lessons as I have, you'd know that when I say 'sing,' my daughter sings."
And there beside her mother's bed, she sang the song her mother requested: The Sound of Music. She sang the whole thing while her mom clasped her hand. Near the end of the song, her mother turned her face to the window, straining to feel the sunlight. And she sang the last four lines with her daughter: "I go to the hills when my heart is lonely. I know I will hear what I've heard before. My heart will be blessed with the sound of music. And I will sing once more." This dying woman didn't need the assurance of a hymn or gospel song. No wonder she wanted The Sound of Music. She wanted a song that would be a prelude to her homecoming…an earthly overture for the great heavenly concert that was about to begin for her.
But in all things we overwhelmingly conquer through him who loved us.

The Axiom Amnesia Theory
Heit & Cheri
Description: The Axiom Amnesia Theory
Now Playing
Episode 091: If I Can Walk, I Can Push Someone In A Wheelchair
How shall we educate the masses? Surely this is a question pondered by the wealthy elites–how best to create and maintain a system of indoctrination and preparation for the human workforce.
In this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri challenge you to think differently about the way you view education and learning. Should the individual sacrifice for the sake of the group in learning environments? Should students be allowed to excel ahead of the class? Should some be left behind?
Topics discussed include literacy, the educational system, group learning, individualism vs collectivism, and how to deal with students who are ahead of the class and others who fall behind, and more!
Call us at 202-446-1886 and let us know what you think about the show.

Bejeweled Blitz on iOS
Bejeweled Blitz on iOS
Trouble connecting to Facebook on Bejeweled Blitz for iOS
Are you having trouble launching Bejeweled Blitz? Does the game start to launch and then immediately disappear? Is there an error message when you attempt to connect to Facebook from the game? Try these steps to get back to the game!
1. Do you have the current version of Bejeweled Blitz?
Apps are updated regularly, and you will be notified of any available updates via the App Store.
On your device, if you see something like this, six of your installed apps have updates available for download!
You can also check your app version against the iTunes or App Store description to be sure.
|Tap the arrow under Play on your leaderboard screen to open the game's options menu.
At the bottom of the options screen is the version number. The current version as of April 10, 2013 is v1.3.2 (605).
2. Try Closing Any Unnecessary Apps
Every time you launch an app on your iOS device, it remains open in the background so that it will load more quickly next time you need it. However, this adds up over time to a large number of apps running at once, and it can seriously slow down your entire device. It can also prevent your game from establishing a Facebook connection!
To view all open apps, give your home button a quick double-tap. You should see a bar open at the bottom of the screen with your app icons displayed:
You can swipe your finger right-to-left to scroll through the pages of open apps. Yes, there may literally be pages full of them!
Press and hold any app icon to cause them to jiggle:
Tap the minus symbol at the corner of any app icon in order to close that app. You may be surprised how many apps are running in the background at any given time! Closing the ones you don't actively need just now will greatly improve your device's overall speed and responsiveness.
This process does not delete an app from your device! You can launch the closed apps again the next time you need them.
3. Restart Your Device
If you've followed the steps above and you still can't get Bejeweled Blitz to start or you're still receiving an error when you try to connect to Facebook, try simply restarting your iOS device. Once the device is restarted, try starting Bejeweled Blitz and connecting to Facebook before starting any other applications.
4. Reinstall Bejeweled Blitz
If simply closing background apps or turning your device off and back on has not resolved performance issues with an app, the next step we recommend is to delete the app and reinstall it.
Note: deleting Bejeweled Blitz will also delete offline progress! Please be sure to backup your data first. You will not lose any online progress, as that is stored on our servers and will be recovered when you connect to Facebook.
To delete an app from your iOS device, simply press and hold the app icon until all the icons begin to jiggle, and an x appears at the corner of each icon.
Tap the x to delete the app.
You can then redownload the app through iTunes or the App Store. Only the iTunes backup will also allow you to restore your saved progress.
Boosts FAQ
Boosts are special power-ups that you can purchase using Coins. They each last for three games and you can use up to three Boosts at a time.
The Mystery Gem boost places a random special gem on the board at the start of the match. Get a headstart on your game off with a flame gem, star gem, or hypercube!
Detonator adds a button in the lower left corner of the board that can be pressed to explode all special gems and multipliers at once! This boost can be used once per game. Choose wisely when to detonate!
Scrambler places a button at the lower right corner of the board that can be used to mix up the gems when you're having trouble finding a match! This boost can be used twice per game.
The +5 seconds boost adds five seconds to your time. Five seconds can feel like a long time when you are using it to make extra matches and earn more points!
|The Bonus Multiplier starts you off with a x2 multiplier gem at the opening of the game. Match it quickly to start reaping the scoring benefits and hurrying toward your next multiplier!
How do I choose my Boosts?
At the beginning of each game, you will see the Boost Select screen. From here you can see how many Boosts you have remaining from previous purchases, add or remove new Boosts, and add Coins if you don't have enough to use your selected Boosts.
Will my Boosts automatically refill when they're empty?
If your Boosts run out during a session of Bejeweled Blitz, by default they will automatically refill as long as you have enough Coins to pay for them. When you leave and start a new session your Boost selection will not auto-refill from a previous session (same thing if you switch to a different computer, user profile, or Facebook user account).
You can select whether or not you want Boosts to auto-refill on the Options screen. Just click the box to toggle auto-renew on or off.
Items on iOS -- a new inventory tool for your Rare Gems!
Rare Gems you earn or receive from friends are now stored in the new Items box. This will help you view your inventory and choose the best way to boost your next game! You must be logged into your Facebook account to view and use your Rare Gems stored in Items.
|Just like your Daily Spin, you can access Items by tapping the up arrow at the bottom of the game's main menu.
|Click on Items to view your available Rare Gems! You will see a notification if new Gems have been added since you last viewed your inventory.
How can I tell which Rare Gems are free and which cost Coins to use?
As always, you may have a mix of earned or rewarded Rare Gems and those shared by friends. Earned or rewarded Rare Gems, such as the Blazing Steed you can earn each week through the 5-Spin bonus, are free to use.
|A free Rare Gem like this Blazing Steed says simply USE NOW.
|A shared Rare Gem like these Kanga Ruby invitations from friends shows a Coin price underneath. The envelope symbol also helps to differentiate shares from free gems.
How many Rare Gems can I store in Items?
The limits are five of each free Rare Gem and 25 of each shared Rare Gem! That should keep you rolling in riches!
Why are some of my Rare Gems grayed out and unclickable?
At this time, not all Gems are available for all platforms. If you are playing on Facebook as well as on mobile devices, your inventory will be visible to you everywhere, but we wouldn't let you try to harvest something in a place where it won't do you any good! If a Gem is grayed out on your iPhone, you can enjoy it later in your browser on Facebook.
Why do some Rare Gems show up as vaulted?
Certain Rare Gems are only available for a limited time, such as Rock-It Blast and Ice Burrst. Those Rare Gems will remain in your inventory in a vaulted state during periods when they are not available for use. When these Gems come back for everyone, yours will still be waiting for you!
Basic Troubleshooting for iOS Games
If your game is crashing on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, try the steps below:
Restart your device.
Your iOS device is a computer, and just like any computer, it sometimes needs to be turned off and on. This simple step will resolve many issues! To power down, press and hold the Power button until the red slider bar appears on the screen. Then drag the slider to confirm you want to turn your device off. Wait a moment before you press and hold the Power button again to turn it back on.
Reset your device.
Press and hold the Power button and the Home button at the same time, holding for more than 10 seconds. Don't release until the Apple logo appears.
Uninstall and reinstall the game.
Just like your device is a computer, your app is a piece of software, so the same basic steps can be useful. "Uninstall and reinstall" is a simple troubleshooting measure.
You can uninstall an app by pressing and holding the app icon until it wiggles, then tap the "x" on it. Reinstalling is as simple as reconnecting through iTunes!
Of course, uninstalling the app will result in the loss of all game progress and user profiles created. It is possible to back up the data through iTunes so that you can restore it. To restore a previously saved state for your apps, connect your device, and open iTunes. Right-click the device's name, and select "Restore from backup."

May 24, 2013: Is Bejeweled Blitz iOS crashing? Here's a simple fix!
We've heard from a number of players that the latest update to Bejeweled Blitz for iOS is suddenly crashing on launch, and we are happy to say that there is a very easy solution!
It seems that if your Facebook profile is missing a single piece of data, that empty variable can cause Bejeweled Blitz to crash. It will take just a moment to update your Facebook profile to include this missing information, and you can do so either in your browser or through your Facebook app on iOS. After this change is made, simply delete and reinstall Bejeweled Blitz from the App store, and you'll be back to matching gems and detonating hypercubes in no time!
To make the change in your browser:
Go to Facebook and sign in. Click on your name in the upper right corner to view your Timeline. Then click on the About tab.
Look for the Basic Information section on your About page:
Click the Edit button to expand this section:
Yes, the missing data is gender. The game is reaching out to Facebook expecting to find a number of basic details in every Facebook profile, and if one of those is missing, the game doesn't know what to do. Most of the standard details were never optional in the Facebook account creation process, but gender has been in the past, and so some profiles don't have that information. All that is necessary to fix this crashing issue is to select a gender on Facebook. It is not necessary to check the box beside "Show my gender on my timeline." The information can remain invisible publicly, but it simply needs to be there in the background.
Once you've updated your Facebook profile, please delete and reinstall Bejeweled Blitz on your iOS device. (Click here for instructions on deleting an app.)
To make the change in your Facebook app for iOS:
Tap the icon at the upper left corner to open your navigation console. Tap on your own name at the top of the list to access your profile.
On your profile page, tap the Info tab. Look for Basic Information.
In this section, tap the word Gender to open the edit function.
Select Female or Male, then tap Save. It is not necessary to check the box beside "Show my gender on my timeline."
Once you've updated your Facebook profile, please delete and reinstall Bejeweled Blitz on your iOS device. (Click here for instructions on deleting an app.)
This should prevent further crashing of the Bejeweled Blitz app on your iOS device!
Bejeweled Blitz for iOS
The Bejeweled Blitz app is a free iTunes download to your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, and it comes with 50,000 free Bejeweled Blitz Coins to get you started!
Bejeweled Blitz for iOS puts fewer screen taps than ever between you and your next minute of gem-swapping joy! Okay, it's really just one or two taps fewer than previous versions, but still, those are valuable seconds you can use to run your Daily Spin right there in the app!
What features are included in Bejeweled Blitz for iOS?
First of all, we've got plenty of updates already in the works, so if you don't see your favorite features listed below, don't worry. We want to make this the ultimate Bejeweled Blitz app, so we'll keep adding and improving! But for now, the game features include:
- Daily Spin (yes, right there in the app!)
- Sharing high scores and Rare Gems to Facebook
- Offline mode with full functionality as of version 1.2!
- Your first 50,000 Coins free!
- Coins purchasing through iTunes for fast and easy reloads
- Gorgeous graphics (even on the iPad)!!!
I can't see my Ranks, Levels, and Experience Points in the App!
The game is connecting to Facebook, so don't worry!, your Ranks, Levels, and XP are still accumulating and being recorded. When you next visit Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook, you will see the updated Rank, Level, and XP you've earned while playing on iOS. But rather than waste valuable screen space, we have decided to give you a full-screen game board on your device!
I can't rotate my game to landscape view!
For greater flexibility with future updates, we have at this time removed the landscape option from Bejeweled Blitz. We may look into restoring it in the future, but there is no current plan in place to do so.
What if I already have the original Bejeweled 2+Blitz app?
You will need to download the new app in order to play Bejeweled Blitz. It won't replace the Bejeweled 2+Blitz app, and you can still choose to launch Bejeweled Blitz either through its own icon or through the Bejeweled 2 menu, but the new app must be installed. It's essentially a free upgrade to the new version that's faster, prettier, and packed with great features, plus lots more to come!
When you next launch your Bejeweled 2+Blitz app, you will see that the "Play Bejeweled Blitz" icon invites you to "Get Bejeweled Blitz!" Simply tap that icon to download the new app.
I can't seem to launch the new app through the original app! What's wrong?
If your original Bejeweled 2+Blitz app has not been updated in recent months to the most current version, then it will not be compatible with the new app. Since the original app has been removed from the App Store at this time, there is no way to update it. You will still be able to launch the original app to play Bejeweled 2! However, the Bejeweled Blitz standalone app must be launched separately rather than through the Bejeweled 2+Blitz menu.
My Bejeweled Blitz Coins/scores are different between iOS and Facebook
Since we added greater functionality to the offline mode in Bejeweled Blitz for iOS, it might be a little bit harder to tell whether you're playing offline or connected! If your score or Coin balance isn't consistent between Facebook and your iOS app, you may simply need to connect to Facebook through the iOS app to update your game data online.
Error Message: "Blocked App"
When you attempt to connect to Facebook from your game on iOS, do you receive an error message that reads "Blocked App?"
This error message indicates that you have blocked the game within your Facebook account settings. Please visit Facebook in your browser to resolve this issue (official Facebook instructions can be found here, or just continue reading for the steps to take!).
Click the gear icon at the upper right corner. A drop-down menu will appear.
|Select Account Settings in the drop-down.
|On the lefthand side of the page, select Blocking.
At the bottom, there will be a section called Block apps. Any apps you have blocked in the past will be listed there. Click "Unblock" beside the app you want to be able to connect to from your iOS device.
When you launch the game again, you will be able to log into Facebook from the app!
Daily Spin FAQ
We love our players, and the Daily Spin is one of the ways we show it! Just by launching the Bejeweled Blitz for iOS app, you can win free Coins with no more effort than a single swipe of a finger.
How often can I spin?
You can play Daily Spin once for free per day. This free Daily Spin is reset at 10pm Pacific Standard Time.
You can also purchase additional spins through iTunes. Simply click GET SPINS after your free Daily Spin!
If you already left that screen, just open the Options menu by tapping on the Up Arrow icon at the bottom of the game's Main Menu:
Then tap the tab labelled Daily Spin:
Then tap GET SPINS to purchase extra spins:
Once you've purchased your additional spins, you will see the count of your remaining spins appear under the button:
Tapping the button will use one spin at a time, and the number will decrease by one with each use.
How do I claim my Coins from my Daily Spin?
Your Coins are awarded automatically.
What's this new 5-Spin Bonus?
We've added a new feature to the Daily Spin to reward our players even more for coming back every day! If you make at least five spins within the week (the Bejeweled Blitz week starts at 10 AM Pacific Standard Time on Tuesday), you will receive an exciting new Rare Gem that you can use for free! Both free and paid Daily Spins count toward your weekly total to earn your free Blazing Steed Rare Gem! There is a limit of one free Blazing Steed per player, per week.
Offline Spins do not count toward your bonus, so make sure to log into Facebook and use your Spins while connected in order to earn your free Blazing Steed each week!
Can I share my Coins with friends?
At this time, Daily Spin winnings cannot be shared from the iOS app. If you plan to share Coins, you will want to run your Daily Spin through Facebook in your browser rather than on your iOS device.
How do I turn off the notifications from the Bejeweled Blitz iOS app?
Bejeweled Blitz for iOS will notify you of Happy Hour so you don't miss out! If you prefer not to receive these notifications, just follow the steps below on your device:
- Tap the Settings icon, then scroll down to the Apps section of the lefthand menu.
- Under the Apps heading, find "Blitz" and tap it.
- The only option listed will be "Enable Notification." Swipe the indicator from ON to OFF.
This should end your Happy Hour notifications.

Rare Gems
Rare Gems are rare and beautiful gems which you can find and harvest by playing Bejeweled Blitz. Each Rare Gem has its own unique gameplay effect!
The Moonstone splinters into three fragments and lands in your game board as a trio of Star Gems to start you off! It's like Mystery Gem times three, without the mystery!
Cat's Eye:
After your Last Hurrah has rewarded you for any special gems you had left on the board, Snackers will appear with eyes ablaze to help you score even higher! His multiplier is triple your final multiplier in the game, and each blast from his laser eyes is as powerful as a flame gem detonation! Snackers will rescue a lackluster game or send a great one into the stratosphere!
Phoenix Prism:
The Phoenix Prism captures the light reflected from all the gems on the board, giving it a beautiful rainbow shine. Due to this unique interplay of light and color, the prisms are Wild Card gems, able to be swapped to any nearby pair of gems to create an intense chain reaction, each prism causing a diagonal line of gems to explode.
The Phoenix Prism comes in batches of six gems, but only one gem can shine at any given time! Once you match your first prism, you will see the next light up within moments. Match it quickly to bring out the third! If you don't use all six within the minute available, don't worry; you'll see any remaining prisms working to jazz up your Last Hurrah.
Once all your prisms have burst, and your eyes have feasted on the dazzle of colors, the phoenix himself will appear! (Okay, it could be a girl phoenix; it's impolite to ask and downright rude to check!) As he takes his final bow and is reborn, a shower of his own feathers falls around him. Whichever feather he catches in his beak will determine the coin bonus you receive on top of the coins already earned in the game. These will automatically be added to your Coin balance.
Blazing Steed:
When you harvest a Blazing Steed Gem, you will begin your next game with Blazing Speed, which causes gems to drop more quickly and turns every match into an explosion! Blazing Speed usually lasts eight seconds, but this special opening lasts ten so you can start out with a bang, a blast, and a ba-boom!
But wait, there's more. Even after the initial Blazing Speed burst fades, the Blazing Steed continues to make his presence felt. For the whole game, keep an eye on the Flame Gems you match—they're bigger, better, blazing-er versions of their normal selves, taking out a larger area and earning more points.
Finally, when the clock runs out, a herd of fiery horses will stampede across your gameboard, scattering and detonating extra Flame Gems in a blaze of glory!
The Blazing Steed is our special gift to our devoted daily players! While you can find it at random like other rare gems, you can also earn a free Blazing Steed every week through the simple act of completing your Daily Spin at least 5 times within a week. You can use your free Daily Spins or speed up the process by purchasing extra spins.
When you have earned your free Blazing Steed, you will notice that you have something new waiting in your Items inventory.
Kanga Ruby:
Meet the magnificent mustachioed marsupial! The king of kapow! Bruce, the boxing kangaroo! The Kanga Ruby is here to pound gems on your behalf with fists of furry fury! Whenever he appears on screen, a well-placed blow will be delivered to your board, destroying a section of gems.
The Blitzing boxer will turn up to deliver his roundhouses at least three times per game, but you can motivate him to come back even more often by destroying red gems! A Kanga Ruby's favorite gem is red, and as you match these, you will see his meter filling at the top of the board. The more red gems you match, the faster he will return to take another shot!
At the end of the game you will be awarded 100 coins for each red gem you destroyed!
Don't forget to Share your Kanga Ruby at the end of the game! As you share this rare gem, your friends will get to play with evolved Kanga Ruby 2 & 3! (The evolved gems are currently not available on iOS, so be sure to check them out on Facebook!)
The Rare Gem Vault
We love to bring new Rare Gems out to play from time to time! Special occasion Rare Gems like Flower Power, Rock-It Blast, and Ice Burrst are available for a limited time before being returned to the vault. Don't worry--your favorites never stay gone for too long!
How do I know whether I am playing offline in the Bejeweled Blitz iOS app?
The current version of Bejeweled Blitz for iOS has a robust offline mode that is almost indistinguishable from online play through Facebook! You can run your Daily Spin, play with up to three Boosts at a time, add Coins...it's just like being online! In fact, it's so much like being online that you might not be sure which is which.
If you are uncertain which mode you're playing in, just look at your leaderboard. In offline mode, your leaderboard is populated exclusively by PopCap characters. You will also see a Login prompt in your leaderboard to remind you that you could connect through Facebook at any time.
Trouble hearing game sounds or music since updating to iOS7?
The recent upgrade to iOS7 has reset some basic system options to their defaults. If you had previously chosen to use the side switch for its "Lock Rotation" function, upgrading to iOS7 has restored its default "Mute" function.
You can alter your preferences again in the Settings app.
I purchased Bejeweled 2+Blitz but have since deleted it. Can I reinstall it?
Although Bejeweled 2+Blitz has now been removed from iTunes and the App Store, you should still be able to redownload it to your device if it is in your purchase history. If you have removed the game from your device but wish to reinstall, follow these steps:
- Visit the App Store on your device
- Click on the "Purchased" tab
- Your full list of Apps should include Bejeweled 2+Blitz. Tap the cloud icon to download it back to your device.

mshta.exe is a legitimate exe file, which belongs to Microsoft. This file is also known as an interpreter for the Microsoft Scripting Host, so it is responsible for executing HTML applications (.hta files) and helping scripts run in Windows. It is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32 and takes about 40 bytes of PC's memory. While the mshta.exe is not an essential file to the system and its work, we don't recommend terminating it. Otherwise, you should be prepared for its instability and similar minor issues.
Any malware can be named anything and mshta.exe is not an exception. The same named file can also be involved to such malicious activities as helping for parasites to start their work, loading their main components and running a destructive payload. It can also function as a stand-alone threat. If you noticed annoying pop-up ads, redirects and similar problems on your computer, it might also be initiated by the virus that uses mshta.exe name for hiding itself from the user. In this case, you should thoroughly examine this file. For that we recommend using RegCure Pro.

I start typing a simple 'hi'
As I wonder if you'll reply
I hit send before I can flake out once more
A few minutes later you're replying, exciting me to the core
Several hours later we're getting along divine
You gave me your number so I gave you mine
The more I message you the bigger my crush gets
My heart melted as I read "I'm really glad we met"
It broke my heart as my laptop started to die
It tore me apart to have to say goodbye
Until my phone starts to ring
And it's your name on the screen
I squealed in excitement before I answered your call
In a smooth voice you said "I still wanted to talk"
I giggle and blush the deepest shade of red
As I analyze every word that you've said
Hours more passed still deep in conversation
I wonder if you get the same giddy sensation
I start falling asleep but still not wanting to go
So you start singing me every song that you know
In my dream we danced and twirled
And as the music stopped I heard you say "goodnight babygirl"
If only I had sent that simple little 'hi'
We might have really talked until my laptop died
We might have talked on the phone for hours on end
Why can't I just hit send?
You might even sing me to sleep
Does thinking all this make me a creep?
I type 'hello' and hover above send
But I flake out and delete it all again
I sigh in frustration as I close it all and exit out
And mumble to myself 'What would we even talk about?'

Another Substantial Dell Shareholder Opposes Deal
Marcus is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A stockholder uprising in opposition to Dell's (NASDAQ: DELL) planned $24.4 billion sale price to its creator along with other shareholders is just getting more help, encouraging a notion that the troubled PC manufacturer will be required to provide a higher price to get the deal completed.
T. Rowe Price, a mutual fund agency that became a member of the rebellion, and one more stockholder, Southeastern Asset Management, think that CEO and founder Michael Dell together with the investment agency Silver Lake are in fact permitted to take control and close Dell, a company with a background of being a publicly held business organization, for only a small amount of cash.
Southeastern Asset Management, as well as T. Rowe Price, are considered the two major independent stockholders and basically hold almost 13% of the computer manufacturer combined. Michael Dell already has given his own 14% stake to the deal, although he's the one and only investor to possess more shares when compared to the stockholders mentioned above.
While Dell continues to be among the world's leading technology organizations by having around $57 billion in yearly revenue, it is presently a lot more less appealing to investors as tablet computers and smartphones cannibalize sales from personal computers. To make things more painful, Dell has also been suffering a loss of market share to its competitors. The corporation used to be the world's major PC manufacturer, but these days Dell has a rank of third behind the PC giant Hewlett-Packard - a company that completed the year on a favorable note by keeping a government contract valued at $543.0 million - and the Lenovo Group.
Michael Dell thinks it is going to be better to improve Dell's growth into more profitable sectors particularly business software and technology consulting if the business doesn't need to satisfy Wall Street's obsession on whether earnings are going up from one quarter to another.
The corporation, which is situated in Round Rock, Texas, explained it continues to be confident that it is really selling at a reasonable value, representing a 25% premium from where the shares stood just before news concerning the buyout deliberations leaked a month ago. In the course of the discussions, Dell's board of directors said it also regarded a large number of other options. The suggested price of $13.65 happens to be more than 40% lower than Dell's valuation of approximately $24 several years ago when Dell came back for a second period as CEO.
Southeastern, which actually came out in opposition to the planned arrangement recently, explains that Dell is valued at $23.72 for each share, or around $42 billion. T. Rowe Price did not in fact provide a valuation about how exactly it thinks Dell may be valued at.
It is also obscure how other substantial Dell stockholders think about the deal, however the feelings of T. Rowe Price and Southeastern appears very likely to encourage others to become a member of the opposition. Southeastern possessed an 8.4% shareholding in Dell, based on a regulatory filing that in fact modified the volume of its shareholding from 8.5 % in paper work supplied a week ago. T. Rowe Price has a 4.4% shareholding in Dell, as reported by FactSet.
Michael Dell is adding his particular holdings into the planned sale, in addition to capital which will bring his full investment to as much as $4.5 billion. The remainder of the projected deal's funding is currently being offered by Silver Lake in addition to credit from Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) as well as a wide variety of financial institutions.
Microsoft not long ago revealed less-than-impressive earnings. These results help to make it far more unpredicted that a business such as Microsoft could have any kind of interest in Dell. Investors have long avoided getting alleged falling knives. In such a case, Microsoft appears to be doing exactly that. What exactly are its reasons? Nobody knows.
In a investigation record, Jefferies expert Peter Misek forecast the present deal need to be adjusted to $15 for each share, or almost $27 billion, to pacify furious investors.
Dell's shares are currently trading beyond the present deal, an indicator that an increasing number of investors have become persuaded the bid will probably be lifted. Dells shares received 12 cents to $13.81 in late morning trading.
The opportunity continues to be available for an additional suitor to arise. Dell stated it will admit additional offers until late March.

BC Professor Lends Hand in Bosnia-Herzegovina Law Reform
Law Prof. Joan Blum traveled to Sarajevo to provide intensive writing seminars for legal officers in Bosnia and Herzegovina
ByWhen Law School Associate Professor Joan Blum took a call from Judge Phillip Weiner JD '80 early in 2009, she couldn't imagine the opportunity the respected alumnus would offer.
An international judge on the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Weiner invited Blum to work with the US Justice Department's Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training (OPDAT) and provide intensive writing seminars for legal officers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In June, Blum made the trip to Sarajevo, where she spent the next several weeks helping a nascent legal system to better serve its citizens.
OPDAT's mission is to offer technical assistance that enables justice and law enforcement authorities in developing democracies to combat terrorism, human trafficking, organized crime, corruption and financial crimes. Through the US Embassy in Sarajevo, Blum worked with the Bosnia-Herzegovina court's legal officers — the equivalent of judicial clerks in the US — to draft decisions that could more easily be understood by defendants, victims and their families, as well as the international community.
Blum worked with the two main divisions in the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina: war crimes and organized crime. She spoke at length with the group about tailoring decisions to both a local and world audience.
"There is developing law, worldwide, of genocide and crimes against humanity," said Blum. "To the extent that the decisions can be
accessible to the larger public, the people that were most affected can feel, to some extent, that justice is being done."
Bosnia currently operates under a hybrid civil law/common law legal system, but judges and legal officers are still trained mainly in civil law methods. To further complicate matters, decisions are issued by a panel of judges, who often write in different languages that then need to be translated.
"One of the problems we identified is that these legal officers work with cases decided by international tribunals, yet for the most part, their legal education does not train them to work with cases because they are trained in civil law method which does not generally rely on precedent," said Blum. "I was asked to introduce them to the process of common law reasoning to improve their ability to make better use of cases decided by other tribunals and make their decisions more accessible to a wider audience.
"I ended up developing a program where, in part, I taught a good deal of the legal analysis I teach my first-year law students," said Blum. "It was a challenging assignment because I did not want to be culturally imperialist. To their credit, the legal officers were very open to the idea."
Blum hopes to return to Bosnia and lend further assistance. She said she was surprised to find out just how fast change could come — a Bosnian judge who observed her seminar, Minka Kreho, participated in a decision issued soon after the seminar that followed Blum's format:
"It made me feel like I had made an impact."
She adds: "I really fell in love with Bosnia, with Sarajevo, a terrifically historic place, but one facing so many enormous issues.
To do a little bit to make the decisions available to the people so adversely effected by the events that led to these prosecutions, that is what makes me feel good."
Blum said she already uses her experience in the classroom and will soon begin a scholarly writing project based on her work in Bosnia.
She plans to further study decisions of several international criminal tribunals to better understand why they are so voluminous and make recommendations about how to make them more accessible to wider audiences.

These necessities may result in Systems Administrator access to files with or without consent of the employee. In order to fully understand the scenarios by which this may occur, employees should familiarize themselves with the policy components below.
Policy Statement: Due to the architecture of the various technology resources, electronic stored information (ESI) may be retained in various locations, i.e., individual network storage, shared network storage, local storage, telecommunications devices, etc.
Retention of ESI is subject to the Local Records Act and ESI constituting a local record under that Act shall be retained for the periods provided for by the Local Records Commission.
LLCC currently has in place a back-up system that operates nightly to back up or save ESI on its system. Such ESI is saved for approximately three months, though such time period is governed by available space and may be longer or shorter depending on space used. Only ESI located in individual and shared network storage will be routinely back up by ITS. Back-ups are to be used for system recovery purposes only. ESI located on portable devices or local storage will not be backed up. Users are responsible for backing up files stored in local drives.
Users who have a need to save information for a longer period and in a more accessible manner should save such information in individual network storage. Users should contact the Help Desk (http://help.llcc.edu) for assistance.
There are no current network or telephone problems or outages.
