Good apps gone bad: QuickPic and ES File Explorer sold out
QuickPic sold its soul to the devil
QuickPic used to be a great gallery app. Fast, simple, no-nonsense, just your pics and movies.
But then Cheetah Mobile took over. This mob with the business ethics of an investment banking corporation guises as a bunch of different companies, all with the word "Cheetah" in them. It litters the Play Store with questionable apps. Whether file manager or launcher, they all have a "speed booster" and anti-virus app built in. Because that's what Cheetah's apps are for: a way to sell junk, usually in the form of notification bar ads and similar sneaky tactics. I doubt Cheetah's virus scanner ever managed to find a virus anywhere.
So now QuickPic is part of Cheetah's spam empire and the size of the app more than doubled. So far the damage is limited to some aggressive pushing of their cloud storage plan, because your pictures are worth a fortune to advertisers. I wonder what's next?
Fortunately, you can say no to spam. Just get the good old QuickPic without the bloatware from apkmirror.com and make sure to tell the Play Store not to update it.
• QuickPic at apkmirror.com (version 4.5.2 is still bloat-free)
• F-Stop (try with an ad blocker)
ES File Explorer adds "features," asks money to remove them
ES File Explorer was the gold standard of Android file managers. Unlimited tabs? Check. Root? Check. All the major cloud services? Check. Sharing files over your local WiFi? Check. USB On-The-Go? Check. Opening ZIPs and RARs and more? Check.
And all of that for free. No task killer, no fake virus scanner, no dirty Cheetah Mobile tricks.
But then its maker changed its name to "ES Global" and the app got infected with junk. A page full of "recommended apps," a storage cleaning feature that pops up on the startscreen to delete files that you don't want to lose, and spam in your notification bar to make sure you don't miss out on the other spam.
And no way to hide the bloatware. The old ES File Explorer let you set all default startup tabs yourself, exactly the way you wanted them to be. The new ES File Explorer shoves a homescreen in your face that you can't delete anymore.
Unless you're willing to pay to remove some of the added junk. Yep, that's the business model now. First fill your app with spam so nobody trusts you anymore, then ask money to remove what nobody wanted anyway. Those new "features" are just nagscreens to get your money. The possibility to add useful new features (like automatic cloud storage sync, full-blown encrytion, or deleted file recovery) that you can pay to use, rather than pay not to use, somehow escaped ES Global's mind.
And guess what? The "similar apps" section of ES's Play Store entry starts with "File Manager HD" from Cheetah Mobile. Oh, the irony!
The good news? Old versions of ES File Explorer version still let you set your tabs the way you want without startpage spam. Just keep in mind that one day DropBox, Gdrive, OneDrive etc. will update their APIs and the old versions will stop working, or Google will change Android's file permissions system and break things. Until then, get the good old ES File Explorer from apkmirror.com.
• ES File Explorer at apkmirror.com (get version 220.127.116.11 (237) or
To tame ES File Explorer, I used Lucky Patcher (MyAndroidTools works too) to switch off the "features" I don't want. Of course you need a rooted Android for this.

Xposed modules on my Android phones and tablets (as of October 2, 2014)
Xposed makes your Android yours
Custom ROMs? Nice, but with the Xposed framework you can turn any stock ROM into your own personal custom version. It has countless modules that let you customise just about everything you want to tweak, and more. Of course your phone or tablet needs to be rooted. It also needs Android 4+ (that means Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, or newer), but there is a version for Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) with limited functionality.
Xposed can do so much that xda gave it its own forum!
The Xposed Installer has a built-in app store full of Xposed modules, but some require a trip to the xda forums. Some modules are in the Google Play Store, but because of the way they interfere with the way Android and its apps work they have a high risk of getting booted out of Google's app store sooner or later.
With so many modules to choose from, some rather silly, many with overlapping functions, choosing the right Xposed modules can take a lot of time, trial, and error. Here's what I picked for my Android gadgets:
Alternate App Picker
Android Jelly Bean came with a few annoying "features," and its app picker is one of them. The old app picker (up to Ice Cream Sandwich) lets you tap the app name, and off it goes. There's a checkbox to remember your choice, but you can leave it unchecked to stay flexible and just launch the app you want with one single tap on the screen.
Enter the new app picker. It makes you tap the app, and then it makes you tap an "just once" or "always" button. Result: what you could do with one tap now takes two.
The alternate app picker module pus the old picker back, and can save you gazillions of taps and eons of your time.
• Alternate App Picker on xposed.info
App Settings
This module lets you set a couple of preferences per app instead of system-wide. Screen resolution, fullscreen behaviour, show app when your Android is locked, a way to remove ongoing notifications without killing the entire app, and more.
I use App Settings to run my camera, clock, Here Beta, seNotes, Timers4Me, Google Maps, and some other apps over the lockscreen, and to keep DeSpy Camera out of my recent apps list.
• App Settings on xposed.info
• App Settings at xda
Disable Clear Defaults Dialog
If you set a default app on a Samsung phone with TouchWiz, it pops up an annoying reminder to tell you that you can clear the default behaviour in the Application manager. Nice to know, but nobody needs to be told over and over again.
This module gets rid of the popup message once and for all.
• Disable Clear Defaults Dialog on xposed.info
• Disable Clear Defaults Dialog at xda
Disable Google Network Location Consent
Another annoying popup message that believes once is not enough. If you enable Network Location, Google asks for permission to use your location to build its database of cell tower and WiFi router locations.
Of course Google needs to ask, but does it really need to ask the same question over and over again whenever you toggle Network Location back on? My corrupted mind believes that Google did this on purpose to stop you from switching Network Location off when you're not using it.
Until Network Location gets a "don't ask me again" option, this Xposed module does the job that Google didn't do.
• Disable Google Network Location Consent on xposed.info
• Disable Google Network Location Consent at xda
Have a little bit of internal storage and a biiiiiig external microSD card? Android has the annoying habit of trying to cram every download, picture, podcast, ringtone, movie, and song on your tiny internal storage space instead of on your giant memory card.
Downloads2SD tells Android to put your stuff where you want it. Internal or external storage, the choice is yours.
This is especially useful for pictures: if you drop your phone in the pool you can simply pull out your microSD, dry it, and save your shots on any computer without having to wait for the repair shop to revive your drowned phone.
Sending big downloads to your external storage instead of squeezing it into your overflowing internal memory chip is very useful too.
• Downloads2SD on xposed.info
• Downloads2SD at xda
Force FastScroll
Does your favourite app show loooooong lists without a scroll thumb? The Force FastScroll module lets you drag the scrollbar in apps that don't let you do this themselves.
This saves you a lot of scrolling up and down in WhatsApp, Dood's Music Streamer, Liquid Bear, the SMS app that came with my Samsung phone, the Xposed installer download list, and many other apps.
It doesn't work for every app, and it makes Facebook Messenger, Google Play Music, and a few other apps force-close. The author of the module made a list of incompatible apps. Have a look if Force FastScroll breaks your Android app before you hit the Force FastScroll settings.
• Force FastScroll on xposed.info
• Force FastScroll at xda
• Force FastScroll list of incompatible apps
Google's voice recognition feature can work offline, but it goes online whenever there is a live connection, whether you want it or not. Slow internet, expensive roaming data, Google doesn't care.
GoogleOfflineVoice lets you force it to use offline voice recognition.
• GoogleOfflineVoice on xposed.info
• GoogleOfflineVoice at xda
Android task killers are sometimes useful, but are often abused to the point of slowing down your device and burning up your battery.
Greenify has a better way to tame your apps. It hibernates them after your screen switches off, and wakes them up again when you want to use them. Much better than bluntly killing them!
• Greenify in the Google Play Store
• Greenify at xda
Message Delivered Toast Notifications
When you send an SMS from your Samsung and it gets delivered to the intended recipients network, Samsung throws a notification on your status bar. That wouldn't be so bad, except that it triggers the same ringtone as if you received a message yourself.
This Xposed module turns the delivery report into a popup ("toast notification" in Android-speak) that doesn't make any unwanted noise. It doesn't shake your phone either.
• Message Delivered Toast Notifications on xposed.info
• Message Delivered Toast Notifications at xda
Notification Mod
If you lock your Android with a PIN, pattern, or password, you probably can't pull down the notification bar on your lockscreen anymore.
Notification Mod fixes that for you. It lets you choose between notifications, quick settings, or both, and you can have a notification pulldown without the settings button.
If you tap a notification to open an app, you still have to unlock your phone or tablet. But there's a way around that: you can tell the App Settings module which apps can run over your lockscreen sans PIN or password.
• Notification Mod on xposed.info
• Notification Mod at xda
Per App Hacking
Want to set a proxy server for an app, but not system-wide? Want to feed a fake date and time to an app, for example to make the expired Nokia Here Maps app work again? Want to prevent wake locks so an ill-designed app won't suck your battery dry? Per App Hacking lets you tame your apps!
• Per App Hacking on xposed.info
Android's permissions system is a mess that Google refuses to clean up. Dangerous permissions are mixed in with the harmless ones, so you'll never know what hit you if you don't pay attention.
Google "simplified" the permissions list in the Play Store, so now many permissions are completely hidden from you.
Even worse, Google decided not to list the internet access permission anymore, probably because of all the Play Store comments from people who wondered why things like launcher themes and battery widgets need to go online (answer: to show Google ads and let Google Analytics spy on you). That's a downright irresponsible move by Google. If an app can read my contacts list or find out my email address, I definitely want to know if it can go online or not.
PlayPermissionsExposed forces the Play Store to list all permissions that an app asks for, and requires your permission before installing any app with changed permissions.
• PlayPermissionsExposed on xposed.info
• PlayPermissionsExposed at xda
Just because you rooted your phone doesn't mean you want every app to know about it. For example, many games refuse to run on a rooted Android, or demand root access themselves to check if you don't use root to cheat.
RootCloak lets the apps of your choice apps think your phone or tablet is not rooted. Note that app developers can fight back. Some banking and online tv apps detect root with a method that RootCloak can't stop. RootCloak Plus is better at hiding root access, but it uses Cydia Substrate instead of Xposed.
• RootCloak on xposed.info
• RootCloak at xda
Samsung Multiple Widgets
Locking up your lockscreen with a PIN, pattern, or password is a good idea if you want to keep the unwanted out of your Android.
Unfortunately Samsung decided to kill your lockscreen widgets if you secure your lockscreen. Want to shoot pictures with your camera? If you set a PIN, Samsung keeps your camera closed. Firing up your web browser without entering your lock screen password? Samsung says no.
The Samsung Multiple Widgets module lets you put widgets on your lockscreen no matter if you set a PIN or not. Your music player, navigation app, or any widget you can cook up in Widgetsoid, it can all go on your locked lockscreen.
Firing up an app from a lockscreen widget only works if you allow that app to run over your lockscreen. Fortunately there's an

Wanam Xposed
This is the Samsung-centric version of Wanam Kit.
Wanam Xposed does lots of things. You can tweak your notifications panel in many ways, hide unwanted items from your lockscreen, kill the camera shutter sound and other unwanted noise, change the looks and colors of your staus bar icons, notification panel, quick settings notification widget, restore read/write access to your external microSD card in KitKat (why did Google have to kill this?), and much more.
Some things I tweaked with Wanam:
- Killed the airplane mode and bluetooth scan dialogs.
- Made the volume panel auto-expand (show all volume sliders) upon hitting the volume button.
- Silenced the camera, disabled the boot and low battery sounds, and killed those annoying volume button beeps.
- Enabled my camera to shoot pictures during a call.
- Told my home button (yes, Samsungs still have one) not to wake up my phone.
- Long-pressing the back button kills stuck apps, but I told it to ignore some apps that I don't want to kill by accident.
- Made my status bar icons blue again, because I don't like them in white.
Wanam has ads, but you can use Wanam to switch them off. Yay!
• Wanam Xposed on xposed.info
• Wanam Xposed at xda
• Wanam Xposed in the Google Play Store
XBlast Tools
The XBlast module duplicates many of Wanam's features (see above), but it does some things that Wanam doesn't do, and vice versa.
Some of my XBlast tweaks:
- No gaps between quick settings tiles.
- Stop sending system usage data to Google.
- Enabled all display rotation angles, including upside down.
- Advanced power-off menu, with buttons to boot into recovery mode, and a screenshot button.
- Switched off the low battery warning, which always pops up when you're busy doing something else.
- Removed restrictions on bluetooth file types; now I can send and receive everything.
XBlast can do a lot more, but I already did those things with Wanam.

LBE Privacy Guard is dead. It stopped working since Android Jelly Bean, and its successor is only available in chinese (unless you let Xposed translate it for you with one of the LBE translation modules). Even if you can run LBE, it uses a lot of resources and doesn't give you fine-grained control over what your apps can do.
XPrivacy does much more. It lets you control just about every Android permission your apps ask for, and it has close to zero impact on the performance of your device. If your Android is old, don't worry, because there is a version for Gingerbread too.
This powerhouse of an app lets you allow, deny, or spoof access to your accounts, location, contacts, messages, MAC address, Android ID, calendar, and many other private bits of information.
Don't want an app to receive push notifications, access your microphone or camera, or check which other apps are running? XPrivacy has a switch for all of those, and more.
Xprivacy can keep apps offline too, but a real firewall like AFWall+ gives you many more options. For everything else, give it a shot.

Nokia Here Maps Beta expired: Here's how to fix it
Un-expire Here Beta
Nokia Here Maps isn't officially released yet, but the leaked beta test version is already the best free offline navigation app for Android.
Why? Check this review here.
Unfortunately the leaked beta test version had a time bomb in it. Starting the 1st of October, it pops up a very annoying message: "this version has expired."
But you can un-expire it!
Method 1
Tell your phone or tablet to go offline (no WiFi, no mobile data), fire up the settings, and set the date back to September 29, 2014.
Now open the application manager and wipe the data of Here Beta.
This un-expires Here Beta. You can go back online (necessary for public transport navigation, among other things). As long as the date is set back, Here Beta keeps running OK.
Method 2
If you're reading this, your Android is probably rooted. Instead of changing the date of your phone or tablet system-wide, you can change it for Here Beta only.
Get the Xposed installer, grab the Per App Hacking module, tap the "Time Machine" entry, and set the date and time for Here Beta to 2014-09-29 12:00 to fool it into non-expiry.
Method 3
Grab nambavuong's modded version with the expiration code yanked out. No root required, no need to mess with the date settings.
Get it all here
• Here Beta (need to set back date to make it work)
• Here Beta (modded, doesn't expire) on Google Drive and MediaFire

Free offline navigation: Nokia Maps is Here
Nokia Maps is Here
Does anyone still remember Symbian? One of its great features was Nokia Maps, a great free offline navigation app that Android never managed to copy. It's also the reason this blog exists, because it all started as a collection of links to offline Nokia Maps files for those without Nokia Map Loader.
Android didn't have a good free offline navigation app yet. Sure, there are expensive navigation apps like Navigon, Google Maps that only lets you store tiny little offline map snippets that won't hold a city, and apps like OsmAnd that run on the often inadequate maps from OpenStreetMap.
Enter Nokia Maps, renamed to Ovi Maps, renamed again to Nokia Here. Oh wait, now it's just called Here, sans Nokia. But for now it's called Here Beta.
Here is not officially available yet. Planned release: end of the year. Real release: right here, right now. Because the beta test version is out
What's in Here?
The maps are really good, but some countries are missing from the list of downloadable maps. No Mongolia, no Sierra Leone, no Haiti, to name a few. Tibet and Palestine are missing from the list of countries because Nokia believes they're part of China and Israel. On the bright side, Here lists Taiwan as a separate country. On the politically correct but rather stupid side: Vatican City and San Marino are separate downloads instead of enclaves within Italy.
You'll want a phone or tablet with an external memory card to do all of Route 66 or navigate your band's entire european tour. A 32 GB memory card will fit the entire planet, but you're gonna have to store your music elsewhere if you really want to carry the whole world with you. A more efficient map compression format would be welcome.
Here Beta lets you drive, walk, and ride the subway. It doesn't have a bike mode and it doesn't show bike lanes, so your bike still needs Google Maps. The public transport info in Here is outdated: extended lines are still short, zapped lines are still running, and rerouted lines still run along their old tracks.
Offline maps or not, even if you set the app to offline mode and switch off all data collection options Here still phones home to spy on you. If you're roaming abroad, make sure to tell your firewall not to let Here use any roaming data, or your next phone bill will bring a nasty surprise. Taming Here with an app like XPrivacy is a good idea too.
On the bright side, setting up a route to navigate is really easy. Here lets you choose many alternative routes if you don't like its first choice. The app insists on using its own voices instead of your Android's built-in TTS voices, but voice navigation works pretty well and covers many languages.
Get it Here
Here is not in the Google Play Store yet, but the beta test version is ready for grabs if you want to take it for a test drive. You need to make a Here account (yes, they want your email or Facebook) before you can download any maps.
• Nokia Here on MediaFire
Update: This version now pops up a message "this version has expired." Here's how to un-expire it.

Last year: 4-7
Coach: Matt Suffal
Players to Watch: WR Jordan McCarroll, QB Chaz Sanders, RB Cash Lang, LB Ceasor Gomez, LB Ezequiel Sanchez, CB Chase Willis
Team Preview: It was a big year for the Indians, and they clinched a postseason berth for the first time in several years. They're hoping to repeat last year's success with several returning starters on the offensive side of the ball. Chaz Sanders will return to run the offense and will have Cash Lang in the backfield again. If this unit continues to gel, they could be dangerous. On the defensive side of the ball, Ceasor Gomez along with Ezequiel Sanchez will be critical to stopping opponents and getting the offense back on the field. It will be a tough district this year, but the Indians are hoping there's a spot in a second consecutive postseason waiting for them.

The event will host the second test in the four-test Elders
Primary Wool series between New Zealand and Wales.
Rowland Smith (Hastings) and Tony Coster (Rakaia) will face
Welshmen Gareth Daniel and Richard Jones, intent on avenging
a 3-1 defeat in Wales last year.
Smith (27) is the reigning Golden Shears and New Zealand open
champion and has won nearly 50 open titles, while Coster (46)
has been in more than 50 finals during more than 20 years of
open shearing.
The remaining tests will be held at the Southern Shears in
Gore on February 15 and the Pahiatua Shears on February 23.
Some of New Zealand's top shearers and woolhandlers will be
competing at this week's event which is being held in the
Balclutha War Memorial Hall on Friday and Saturday.
A speed shear will also be held in the hall on Friday at
7.30pm, which was always a crowd-pleasing event,
championships organising committee president Bruce Walker
Mr Walker was expecting good entries for the championships
with the line-up including top woolhandlers Keryn Herbert,
Joel Henare, Tia Potae and Pagan Rimene, while shearers
included John Kirkpatrick, Nathan Stratford and Cam Ferguson,
along with Smith and Coster.
About 1700 sheep were supplied by Carterhope Estate, south of
Balclutha, for the event.

Oh my goodness! This recipe is wonderful! Sadly, I forgot to start the pre-ferment the night before, so I did it first thing Saturday morning. (Not sure why directions say to use a "non-metal" bowl - "non-reactive" bowl, maybe? I used the same stainless bowl I always use for bread with no problem.) Saturday evening (12 hours later), I made the dough and stuck it in the fridge for another 12 hours; when I pulled it out Sunday morning, it had filled the gallon zip-top bag. I turned it out into a lightly oiled bowl and let rise. By noon, the dough was rising above the bowl, and I shaped it into 4 small-to-medium sized loaves (there are just 2 of us - one loaf was perfect for a quick taste, dinner, and toast for one of us the next morning!). The scent of rosemary even while the bread was rising was amazing, let alone while it was baking. . . we did not spray with water while baking - baked the loaves 40 minutes, then brushed with butter when they came out of the oven -- perfect! This recipe is going in my "most favorite" collection! Thank you!
Excellent bread. I halved the recipe and formed into 2 loaves. In a hurry and, apparently, not paying attention when I mixed the preferment, I didn't notice until proceeding with the recipe the following day that I was supposed to have added the potatoes (I just added them to the dough then). I substituted olive oil for the butter, used the KitchenAid to knead the dough, and let the loaves rise in makeshift bannetons. I also steam my oven a bit differently. I preheat well ahead at a higher temperature (usually 500F; in this case,450F), with a heavy pan in the bottom of the oven under the baking stone. Immediately after I slide the loaves onto the stone, I pour about a cup of hot water into the pan (using a watering pitcher with a long spout), which creates a burst of steam. I spray the oven walls with water after 30 seconds, then 2 more times 30 seconds apart, then reduce the oven temperature and finish baking. (Note to anyone spraying water into their oven: Do not spray the light bulbs!) I didn't tent the loaves with foil, as I didn't feel they were overbrowning. Great recipe--thanks for posting!
What a nice dough to work with. And the scent while baking was great. Tried the bread while still slightly warm with butter, yummy !! Then made chicken panini (roasted red pepper and havarti cheese), just a piece of heaven ! Thanks for sharing.
Really great loaf of bread here. The only changes I made were to leave out the sugar and rosemary and add three tsp. of wheat gluten for lightness(I toned down the recipe to just one loaf). Love it!
I adjusted this recipe to make dinner rolls for Thanksgiving. The only change I made was the addition of an egg, beaten in at step 4. The rolls were delicious.
Made this today and as previously stated it does make a huge quantity. I got 2 loaves and 5 large rolls. The only thing I changed in this recipe was to substitute the sugar for organic honey. It makes a really lovely loaf with beautiful taste and crumb. This will be one of my go to recipes for sourdough.
Great recipe for a true taste of artisan bread. Before finding this recipe and getting started with sourdoughs, I used to buy two potato and rosemary sourdough loaves each week, paying almost ?4 each! I can honestly say (along with my family!) that this bread is truly as good if not better! And so easy!!! Try it toasted and buttered with your favourite thick soup. Mmmmmmm also makes the best cheese toasties
Terrific recipe for using my sourdough starter and the abundance of fresh rosemary I had. This made 3 huge loaves and next time I'll try to half the recipe and add more rosemary. I baked these on a stone instead of a baking sheet and the crust came out crispy while the interior was a perfectly soft and tender crumb. No problem with over browning. Although the recipe doesn't state to knead, I did knead for a few minutes after combining all ingredients until a soft and even consistency. Thanks for a great sourdough recipe to add to my repertoire!
The texture of this lovely loaf is soft and springy inside while the rosemary scent is heavenly. We were very pleased with the outcome ~ A perfect bread for special sandwiches. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I used the instant mashed potatoes as suggested and allowed this to sit overnight. This resulted in a very active starter that rose quickly and produced a wonderful product. I opted to make 2 baguettes and 8 burger rolls. We had the bread with dinner tonight and it is very tasty with a nice crust.

British film star Keira Knightly has told 'Good Morning Britain' that she was 'terrified' about singing in her new film role.
Chatting to Ben Shephard the actress said "I'm not a singer so I have no idea what I'm doing" before adding that she 'hates' karaoke.
Speaking about her new movie 'Begin Again', Keira also revealed that her voice didn't sound quite as she had hoped, saying;
"I'm really disappointed that Adele's voice doesn't come out! I think that's what I was hoping the whole way through that suddenly Shirley Bassey, one of those big [voices] - so I'm just like, 'ok'!"
With husband James Righton being part of band Klaxons, Keira confessed that he has been quite tolerable of her musical efforts, saying;
"The thing about my husband is he's the loveliest person in the world so he's just like 'well done'. He did try and teach me to play the guitar - which didn't work very well"
She continued;
"I could play the guitar - I did learn to play all the songs on the guitar but I couldn't sing and play at the same time because that's really difficult - who knew that that was so difficult! I don't think my husband had a lot of patience with me not being able to do that."
The 'Bend it like Beckham' star went on to reveal who she is rooting for at the World Cup telling Ben;
"I'm really excited about Belgium - I don't think they are going to win but I'm really excited about it, I think they'll come close. Germany… it's got to be their time really - I mean they looked good didn't they?"

Red is beautiful
Some guys think they're hot, some other have a very bad opinion on red headed people, like if they where dangerous or something it's almost a urban legend. But I think ginger men are beautiful.
Here is a wallpaper with 3 hunks, if you know their name, tell me.

Diuretics as a Basis of Antihypertensive Therapy

Diuretics have been, except for during a few recent years, the most commonly used therapy for hypertension. Although use of these agents fell significantly in the early 1990s, since then it has begun to increase again. Their recent return to popularity reflects 3 major factors: (i) recognition of the effectiveness of much lower dosages than previously used, thereby providing good antihypertensive activity with fewer adverse effects; (ii) the excellent reductions in morbidity and mortality achieved by low dosage diuretic-based therapy in multiple randomised controlled trials in elderly patients with hypertension; and (iii) the increasing recognition that some diuretic-induced shrinkage of effective blood volume is essential for the adequate treatment of many, if not most, patients with hypertension. Therefore, diuretics will probably continue to be the basis for antihypertensive therapy, and the indapamide sustained release 1.5mg formulation provides all the essential characteristics of diuretic therapy.

Knee injury could reportedly land Bruschi on IR
Updated: December 9, 2008, 11:13 AM ETESPN.com news services
The New England Patriots may have to battle for the AFC East title without one of their defensive stalwarts.
The Boston Herald reported on Monday that linebacker Tedy Bruschi may go on injured reserve due to a knee injury. The injury is not as serious as previously feared, but New England might not have the luxury of keeping Bruschi on the roster as it pushes for the playoffs. Sources told the newspaper he would miss three to four weeks.
Bruschi's left knee was hit by teammate ...

I thought I'd share a very strange setup issue that we've seen a number of times both with Service Pack 4 and Hotfix installation.
When applying SP4 for SQL2000 the setup fails with the usually cryptic message about setup failing on a remote node. When you inspect the at the sqlsp log where setup was initiated we see something like this...
CRemoteProcess::RunUntilComplete [0xac] error code: -1
CThreadPool::RunUntilCompleteHlpr WaitForMultipleObjects returned: 0
CThreadPool::RunUntilCompleteHlpr signaled thread [0xac]

18:54:59 End Action : LogEvent
18:54:59 Begin Action : CloseEventLog
18:54:59 End Action : CloseEventLog
Now we can ignore the 3010 result codes, these just indicate that a reboot is required.
On the remote node we get no log file generated.
We do see some rather cryptic message in the event log on the remote node
Information 26 25/6/2006 9:15:20
Application Popup xxxxxxxxx4 None
Application popup: remsetup.exe - Unable To Locate Component :This application has failed to start because cnvrem.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Information 26 25/6/2006 9:11:58
Application popup: remsetup.exe - Unable To Locate Component : This application has failed to start because cnvrem.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
The above would explain why we don't get a log generated on the failing node since the remote setup didn't run.
Monitoring file access on the failing server the following was observed
cnvsvc3.exe:1980 QUERY
INFORMATION \\W000012004\admin$\PSAPI.DLL SUCCESS FileBasicInformation
3195 6:50:19 µµ cnvsvc3.exe:1980 CLOSE \\xxxxxxxxx4\admin$\PSAPI.DLL SUCCESS

3197 6:50:19 µµ cnvsvc3.exe:1980 OPEN \\xxxxxxxxx4\admin$\PSAPI.DLL IS DRECTORY options: Open Access: Execute
Now PSAPI.DLL is returning 'IS DIRECTORY' true, inspecting the directories on the machine we found that there was indeed a directory
This is an unusuall name for a directory to say the least, further searching on the C drive found valid PSAPI dlls so simply renaming the dirrectory C:\Windows\PSAPI.DLL to C:\Windows\xPSAPI.DLL was all that was required to allow the setup program to successfully complete.
A very similar issue occurs when you apply hotfixes, the log will look something like this

A national transportation safety board team has arrived in Staten Island to investigate the ferry crash that injured 37 people early Saturday.
There were 252 passengers aboard when what is being called a mechanical malfunction prevented the ferry from slowing down as it approached the St. George terminal.
The ferry slammed into the pier.
Late Saturday, the head of the NTSB team said what happened is called an "allusion" when a moving ship or vessel hits something stationary, such as the terminal pier.
The seven-person NTSB team will go over ferry deck operations, maintenance records, interview passengers, and it will look at the last 72 hours of crew interactions.

Berlusconi's Austerity Plan Gets Final Parliament Approval
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's austerity plan won final approval by Parliament, opening the way for measures intended to balance the budget by 2014 and keep the region's debt crisis at bay.
The Chamber of Deputies voted 314 to 280 in Rome to pass the package of spending cuts and tax increases. Berlusconi had staked his government's future on the plan, surviving confidence votes on the measures in the Chamber earlier today and the upper house Senate yesterday.
"I've worked in the interest of Italians," the premier said in the Chamber. "I'd love to be able to give them what I promised, a lowering of taxes, but it's a difficult moment and now it's just not possible."
Berlusconi pushed for quick passage of the bill after investors began dumping Italian securities on concern that Italy, with the region's second-highest debt, would become the next victim of Europe's sovereign crisis. The selloff pushed the 10-year bond yield to a 14-year high 6.02 percent on July 12 and sent the benchmark stock index to the lowest since July 2009.
The yield premium that investors demand to hold Italian debt over German bunds rose 17 basis points today to 306 and the 10-year yield gained 12 basis points to 5.76 percent.
Like the Titanic
Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti said yesterday that Italy, and even the region's strongest economies, would remain vulnerable until European policy makers come up with a solution for the debt crisis that led Greece, Portugal and Ireland to seek bailouts. "Like with the Titanic, even the first-class passengers can't be saved," Tremonti told the Senate.
Berlusconi resorted to confidence votes to pass the package to end debate and force allies to back the measure or risk the government's collapse. His popularity has fallen to a record low amid corruption allegations and sex scandals that prompted dozens of his deputies to abandon his government last year, eroding his majority in the legislature.
"We are radically against your economic policies, your policies in Europe, and this austerity plan," Pier Luigi Bersani, head of the main opposition Democratic Party, said in the Chamber today. "Our bond spreads are widening again today, showing that this plan won't shield us from the crisis."
Wages, Pensions
The plan extends a freeze on civil-servant wages, cuts funding for regional governments and ministries, speeds a planned increase in the retirement age and will make Italians pay 25 euros for some non-emergency hospital visits and 10 euros above existing fees to see specialists. Taxes will be raised on trading accounts holding more than 50,000 euros in securities and on bonus and stock options.
The package aims to eliminate the deficit by 2014, and the bulk of its 40 billion euros ($56 billion) in spending cuts, savings and revenue measures will be implemented in 2013 and 2014. During that period, Italy will still accumulate 120 billion euros in debt, Senate Finance Committee President Mario Baldassarri said.
Italy's debt is forecast to rise to 120 percent of gross domestic product next year before declining. "I don't care about the debt-to-GDP ratio," Baldassarri said in an interview on Bloomberg Television in Rome today. "What goes on in the market and must be underwritten by markets is not the debt-to-GDP, but the billions of euros of actual debt."
The surge in Italy's bond yields is already boosting the cost of financing its deficit. Italy priced 1.25 billion euros of five-year bonds at an auction yesterday to yield 4.93 percent, the highest in three years and up from 3.9 percent at the previous sale on June 14.
'Guarantee Clause'
The budget plan also includes a so-called guarantee clause concerning the overhaul of the tax system. The clause authorizes the government to reduce tax breaks and deductions by as much as 22.6 billion euros if Parliament fails to authorize the tax changes by 2012, Fabio Fois, an economist at Barclays Capital in London, said in a note.
Warnings from Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's that they were reviewing Italy's rating for a possible downgrade, coupled with opposition within the government to the budget plan designed by Tremonti, helped drive yields higher this month.
The backlash against Tremonti over the budget cuts and the fallout from a corruption investigation into one his closest aides had prompted speculation that the minister, the enforcer of the fiscal rigor that kept the deficit in check, would resign. Tremonti, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal today, said he wasn't stepping down and had no reason to do so.

Golden White Cloud is a striking color variation of the White Cloud Mountain Minnow. This variety displays a beautiful gold body with red markings toward the tail and on each side of the head. The Golden White Cloud is a peaceful schooling fish that adds color and energy to any freshwater community aquarium.
This hardy species is easy to care for and fairly tolerant of less-than-perfect water conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginning aquarists and children. It's important to keep this species in an aquarium with non-aggressive fish similar in size. The male Golden White Cloud is generally more brightly colored and slightly smaller than his female counterpart. When kept in schools, this species tends to display brighter coloration.

I made a banana cake with ripe, pureed bananas and substituted pineapple juice mixed with buttermilk powder instead of the buttermilk in the recipe. I used the same amount of juice as you would water listed on the package. The cake tasted great, but was very dense. Will the powder and juice mixture affect the consistency of the cake? Thanks!
Cakes are chemically leavened with baking powder or baking soda. They have a narrow pH range in which they work.
Pineapple juice is very acidic. It probably reacted with your leavening and deactivated it.
You can use buttermilk powder for the cake, but you have to mix it with water, not fruit juice. Then it will work as usual.

In the wake of the dangerously low temperatures that hit Minnesota the first week in January, U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Al Franken (D-Minn.) today released a report on critical heating assistance that helps tens of thousands of Minnesota families and seniors afford to keep their homes warm each winter.
The senators said that federal support for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) has been cut drastically over the past few years. In response, Sens. Klobuchar and Franken released a county-by-county report on LIHEAP funding in Minnesota and said they plan to redouble their efforts to increase support for the critical program, which in 2012 helped more than 160,000 Minnesota households pay to heat their homes.
The report, compiled by the Campaign for Home Energy Assistance, shows the funding levels for LIHEAP in each Minnesota county in 2012. You can see the report here or see a county-by-county breakdown in the American-News.

CLEVELAND -- Pat Shurmur will handle two jobs in his first season coaching the Cleveland Browns.
Shurmur, making his first public appearance since being hired last month, said Thursday night that he'll also serve as the Browns' offensive coordinator next season.
"That's the way it shaped up this year," Shurmur said.
Shurmur was a presenter at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards, an annual event honoring the area's top athletes.
St. Louis' offensive coordinator the past two seasons, Shurmur also said "it would be a logical assumption" that quarterback Colt McCoy will be the Browns' starter in 2011.
It's been a whirlwind few weeks for Shurmur.
He's been hiring assistants, evaluating Cleveland's roster and preparing for the NFL draft while not knowing if there will be a 2011 season because of the league's uncertain labor situation.
Last season, only two teams -- the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots -- didn't have a coach with the "offensive coordinator" title.
Shurmur isn't concerned about trying to handle too much. He has surrounded himself with experienced assistants, including defensive coordinator Dick Jauron, a former head coach in Chicago and Buffalo.
"I feel like we've hired a terrific staff and everybody on this staff has roles and issues of the day," Shurmur said. "I feel really good about how we've structured things and I think it's going to work well."
Shurmur replaced Eric Mangini, who was fired following his second straight 5-11 seasons. Shurmur has already avoided one of the early mistakes made by Mangini. In his first appearance at the sports awards, Mangini ignored Browns Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers despite being within a few feet of him in the backstage area.
Their non-meeting caused a player-coach rift that was never mended, and it painted Mangini as standoffish and aloof, a reputation he never quite overcame.
Shurmur made sure he introduced himself to return specialist Josh Cribbs, who was named the professional athlete of the year.
"I just saw Josh for the first time and we shook hands," Shurmur said. "I said what I wanted for him was to get in the end zone, so it's the start. He seemed to give me a big smile, so I think we're on the same page."

I'm using W3 Total Cache version 0.8.5.2
I understand that I can upgrade to latest version and have my problem fixed, but I feel 0.8.5.2 works best on my site. The newer versions don't work well.
My problem :
In the Minify settings, I have set "Maximum lifetime of cache objects" to 30 days or so.
So most of my visitors have already cached
Now, I made a change to my .css and refreshed everything, but since most people have already cached the above css file (and file name has not changed in anyway) their browser won't bother to update it for up to 30 days.
How can I add the version number at the end, example:
(version representing the date it was last modified or something)
This will force browsers to update the minified .css and .js
( On a side note ** Even though i get the new minified URLS working and in my page source, if i actually go to the direct w3tc/min/ I don't see any files there O_O is that how it's suppose to be? Well it's not a problem since everything is working fine...*** )

I have been repeating stories about my day to my family, having trouble remembering when we did things (was it this morning or yesterday when we went to the store?) and having trouble concentrating since I started taking Lyrica for chronic pain (broken shoulder that is very slow to heal) I am on 50 mg 3x a day. I have also noticed very mild hand tremors and I have felt more emotional than usual. Age 48 and in excellent physical shape. Anyone else having these symptoms?

I took lyrica for almost a year after my accident and found that it did help my neuropathy and fibromyalgia but I did not notice the effects that you mention. After a change in insurance I went to gabapentin and that had more or less the same help for me as the lyrica and it also helped the seizures I was having. Hope this helps.
18 Sep 2012
I take Lyrica at 150mg/day for trigeminal neuralgia. I experience the same memory issues as you described (I'm 32, healthy, had no memory issues before). I also feel more "emotional", I'm not sure though if this is due to the medication or due to long-term chronic pain. Before Lyrica, I was on Neurontin, which did not help with the neuralgic pain, made me very tired and depressed. Lyrica seems a better fit for me in this respect. I heard that some patients have it the other way round - they have less side effects and less pain on Neurontin.
Have you spoken to an attorney about your problems? If so can you let me know. I am having problems caring for myself and would like to know if there is any way to reverse the problem.
26 Jan 2013
I'm currently weaning off Lyrica simply because the side effects are a nightmare ..my dosage is 300mg once a day for a back injury. Although everyone is different I have read several testimonials that all say the same thing. I personally have the hand tremors, difficulty concentrating..very forgetful ..my home is in complete disarray. Its all from the Lyrica. I'am very emotional ..Its the fact that the Lyrica is blocking otherwise healthy nerves from communicating in your brain. I have to force myself to stay on task ... otherwise I will sit and ponder for 3 hours as to what I should do. I'm not at all the person I use to be
I have been on Lyrica for only 6 months. It works for pain but the side effects for me are much worse than the back pain. Please educate yourself on this medication . Its dangerous. Best of luck to you.
15 Jan 2015
I have been taking lyrica longterm and am having serious memory problems. Next week I am starting to come down off them so i will let you know how I get on. But yes i have been learning that more and more people have been having memory loss. Its a shame you can't prove this in court. It affects my life in a big way. I have a diary but forget to write init and forget appointments. I thought i was going mad.
I have just started taking the Lyrica 100mg 3x day for Saphenous Nerve injury to my knee. I began taking the Neurontin and it did nothing. I was switched to Lyrica - it stopped the nerve pain but now I get mild morning headaches and definitely memory loss problems. Is there something else that can help?
Who are you commenting to - I am 60 - not 48. Not looking for a phone mate. Was just commenting on this page.

Man charged with dangerous driving
BARRE A Northfield Falls man is accused of driving dangerously with his 2-year-old daughter in the car.
Jesse L. Hodgdon, 39, pleaded not guilty to charges of careless or negligent operation and child cruelty on a child less than 10 years old, both misdemeanors, in Washington County criminal court Thursday. If convicted, he faces a maximum of three years in prison and a $1,500 fine.
According to the police affidavit, witnesses saw Hodgdon tailgate a slow vehicle on Route 12 heading toward Berlin. When the vehicle turned onto Muzzy Road, Hodgdon allegedly got close to the car and laid on the horn, then swerved around him, missing the turning car by only a few inches.
A witness said Hodgdon then passed another slow car near the Econo Lodge and nearly had a head-on collision with another vehicle.
The witnesses called police, who located Hodgdon at the Cumberland Farms in Berlin. Police said they saw Hodgdons daughter in a car seat in the locked vehicle, which was not running although the temperature was around 36 degrees. They also said Hodgdon would not have been able to see the vehicle from inside the store.MORE IN This Just InPHILADELPHIA Many delegates from Vermont arrived at the Democratic National Convention this...

Brief Summary
The family Syllidae Grube, 1850, comprises errant polychaetes of relatively small sizes, usually a few milimeters in length, but some of the largest representatives were reported as reaching lengths of up to 13 cm, with hundreds of segments (e.g. Trypanosyllis ingens).
Syllids may inhabit virtually all environments in the oceans, from the deep sea to the intertidal zones. Usually benthic organisms, most of them "switch" to a planktonic form, the epitoke, as part of reproductive cycles. For some species, epitokous forms are known to display strong bioluminescence, as is the case of the "Bermudan fireworm" Odontosyllis enopla.
Syllids posses a well-formed head, usually with 1 pair of triangular to kidney-shaped palps, 3 antennae and 2 pairs of eyes; the peristomium, where the mouth opening lies, possesses 1-2 pairs of peristomial cirri; the parapodia are usually uniramous, with dorsal and ventral cirri, and the bundle of chaetae, although a biramous condition is developed during the epitokous phase.
One of the easiest way to recognize a syllid is the presence of the proventricle, a muscular barrel-shaped structure associated with the pharynx, usually visible by the translucent body wall. Taxonomy of the group is based mainly on the dentition patterns of the pharynx, and on the morphology of the proventricle, chaetae and antennae and cirri throughout.
