Smart IR Remote is an universal smart remote control that can command almost anything that receives InfraRed commands, like a TV, Set Top Box (cable and satellite box), DVD, BluRay player, VCR, Amplifier, Air Conditioner, AV Receiver, DSLR camera, etc. Better yet, you can combine your remotes into smart remotes (activities) so that on your custom remote you'll have the volume buttons to your surround system, the channel buttons to control your set top box and the display buttons to control your TV. It's the only Android universal tv remote that can do that, while controlling any other device too!

Super Smart Cover
Super Smart Cover:-
This application will automatically SWITCH ON/SWITCH OFF the screen by using both light and proximity sensor.
When the cover closes the screen/sensor , it SWITCH OFF (locks) the screen. When the cover opens , it SWITCH ON (unlocks) the screen.
Works with all the android devices ( phones, tablets and phablets ) and works with all type of covers ( Flip , Book , Leather etc ).
Make sure that both proximity and light sensors are working normally. Use Refund time to check whether both the sensors are working or not.
For Samsung devices, i uploaded another similar application which uses RGB sensor instead of light sensor.
Use that application for Samsung devices instead of this. RGB sensor is more accurate than light sensor.
Application link for Samsung device is Super Smart Cover [Samsung]
More accurate. Accidental screen switch on/off operations are minimized to a great extent even if there is a minimal light.
In complete darkness this application is as good as using only with the proximity sensor.
Checking both proximity and light sensors and deciding before switching the screen ON or OFF.
Battery usage doesn't vary much for using light sensor in addition to proximity sensor. Light sensor battery usage is very minimal when compared to proximity sensor.
In live test with Samsung Galaxy S5 , Smart Cover consumed just 3.5% battery for more than 15 hour usage.
Consumed 0.23% battery in 1 hour.Will consume approximately 5.6% battery for one full day usage.
Main Features:-
1) More accurate than using just the proximity sensor
2) Option to auto start Smart Cover after reboot
3) User can set the lock/unlock delay
4) User can disable the Device administrator from the app itself
1) To uninstall the app , disable device administrator privilege if it is enabled ( Option provided to disable it in the app )

This is another 'Post Panettone Levain Build' bake. It is amazing how much wasted starter you can; will, end up with when making the Italian levain for panettone! Not to worry….we came up with another bake that used up all of left over SD and YW levain; 392 g worth, with the exception of 100 g of SD levain we are saving for the Valentine Rose Vienna Bread bake with the Three Twisted Sister GMA's on Monday.
These near white levains had been in the fridge for a few days and were a little sleepy so we gave them 108 g of our whole Rye, spelt and WW mix with 125 g of water and let it sit out on the heating pad to warm up and get perky again.
While the huge, now 625 g YW/SD levain. was waking up, we autolysed the dough flour; half WW and half bread flour with the salt, Toadies, VWG, malts, honey, molasses, and Guinness Black Lager for 2 hours. The only thing left out were the pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
The huge levain ended up being 45% of the total weight if you discount the 100 g of seeds. This is about 3 times as large as normal for our baking. Ian uses large levains per Peter Reinhart but I'm not sure he has gone this big! We have tried this before but forgot what is was like so my apprentice thought this was the perfect time to continue our 'try it and see if we like it' method - our Mikey Technique of bread discovery.
Once the autolyse and the levain came together, we did 10 minutes of slap and folds to get this 80% hydration dough to come together. I wasn't at all difficult since we had 60% whole grains, most of it whole wheat, which really soaked up the beer. After 10 minutes the dough had a great feel, was smooth supple and exhibited fine gluten development for higher percentage whole grain bread.
After resting for 15 minutes we did 3 sets of French Folds to incorporate and distribute the seeds and further develop the gluten. We then let the dough ferment on the counter for an hour before retarding it in the fridge for 12 hours. It more than doubled in the fridge just like John01473's did yesterday.
We allowed the dough to warm up on the heating pad for 2 hours before gently shaping it into a batard, loafish, oval shape that would fit nicely into the non stick sprayed, Romertopf, clay baker we got at Goodwill many months ago but never used it to make bread. It made a fine Sunday Chicken though. We had soaked the Romertopf in a 5 gallon bucket on the patio for a couple of days waiting for a good time to use it.
This bake was also inspired by Raluca's boldly baked 65% whole wheat bread and lamberta72 buying a Romertopf and Bobkay1022 posting pictures of a very nice bake in his Romertopf that healso got at Goodwill like I did! So it was time to put these additional inspirations together with Ian's big levain and long bulk retard in the fridge. It is not too odd, as odd things can go, how things can come together for a bake with a little Fresh Lofian help.
After 4 1/2 hours in the Romertopf for final proofing on the heating pad, the bread was ready to be slashed and baked. Slashing was made with my favorite French bread slicing knife, We put the Romertopf in the very cold Old Betsy and fired her up to 460 F. When she beeped that she was at temperature, we set the timer for 20 minutes of steam. After 20 minutes we removed the lid and turned the oven down to 425 F, convection this time.
After another 10 minutes, rotating every 5 minutes, we removed the bread from the Romertopf and placed it on the stone and continued rotating it every 5 minutes to ensure even browning. 15 minutes later we turned the oven down to 400 F; convection and tented the top with aluminum foil to keep it from browning too much. The bread reached 205 F 15 minutes later after a total baking time of exactly 1 hour after the oven beeped when reaching the original 460 F.
There was no reason to crisp the crust on the stone for 10 minutes with the door ajar and the oven off as this bread was very brown and crust crisp as all get out. It was certainly a looker from the outside and the rise and spring were very good indeed. We are impressed with the Romertopf, as much as we are impressed with Ian's large levain, bulk retard, warm, shape and proof method. If the inside is as good as the outside this should be one of those bakes we look forward to doing again.
The crumb wasn't as open as the rise, spring and bloom would have us believe but the crumb was light and moist with lots of smaller holes that must have added up to the rise and spring we saw on the outside. Sometimes bread can fake you out. It also tastes well rounded and has a deeply flavorful profile. There is a slight SD tang that was muted by the YW. The seeds came though nicely too. All in all, it is a very nice WW sandwich bread which is what we were after. I'm sure my wife will love this for her lunch sandwiches - I know I will. It is good be nearly out of panettone levain too - only 100 g to go:-)
It's a grilled pepper jack, brie with pastrami cheese sandwich. Great bread makes great sandwiches! And don't forget the salad and fresh fruit, citrus, melon and veggies with a home made pickle.
If you eat right you can have some lemon cheese cake with chocolate sandwich cookie crust once in a while.

This is yet another bread, and one still to go, that resulted from the panettone bake where huge excesses of levain waste was required to build the Italian starter. In this case we had some YW and SD levain hanging around in the fridge. But the first thing we did was boil the scald for 5 minutes stirring all the time before covering and allowing it to cool on the counter.
The levain build was like a French casserole where any veggie in the fridge goes into the pot. The two leftover levains, some more AP flour and some more YW and SD seed went into this levain casserole. We've never zombied a levain like this before so it was fun, if not eventful, from a risen dead perspective.
The levain sat on the heating pad as we autolysed everything including the cocoa and instant coffee, except the scald and seeds, with the Guinness Black Lager- a beer we hadn't tasted before. This ended up being a 58% Whole grain loaf not including the whole grain scald and soak. After two hours we deemed the autolyse ready for its zombie levain.
After mixing with a spoon to get things acquainted, we did 10 minutes of French Slap and folds to develop the gluten sufficiently. After a 20 minute rest we incorporated the multigrain scald using a few S&F's and a few slap and folds to get the dough back into shape.
The addition of the wet scald, that took the hydration up to what felt like about 82% or more, made the dough much slacker than its old self. After another 20 minute rest, the aromatic seeds were incorporated into the dough with some more S&F's and a few slap and folds which were more interesting with seeds and wet dough flying all over the place.
After another 20 minute rest we did one last set of slap and folds to get some shape into the dough and immediately panned it into a large loaf pan that had been de-stickified with spray. We coverd the top with wheat adn oat bran and let it sit on the heating pad for about 3 hours until it had grown 3/4th of the way up the tin and then we retarded it for 12 hours.
When we retrieved it from the fridge it had risen to within ½" of the top of the tin rim. We let it sit on the counter, no heating pad this time, for 2 1/2 hours before heating up the mini oven with Sylvia's steaming cup.
The dough had risen to the rim by the time it went into the mini for 12 minutes of steam at 450 F. It sprang about 1/2 "under steam. Then we removed the steam and turned the heat down to 375 F, convection this time.
We continued to bake the loaf until it reached 205 F on the inside rotating the loaf 180 degrees after 10 minutes and also de-panning it to ensure even baking. After 10 minutes we rotated the de-panned loaf again. A total of 45 minutes and the loaf was done.
It browned up nicely but we will have to wait for the crumb shots. Once cooled we will let this bread sit for 24 hours before cutting into it for lunch tomorrow. Here it is the following morning and I couldn't wait for lunch since there was breakfast first :-)
Plain, toasted with butter or with cream cheese... this bread is tasty - just plain delicious. The crumb is open, glossy and very moist with chewy bits. The crust went soft overnight which allowed for very thin slicing without crumbling. I could eat this bread every day and if stranded on a desert isle, it would be one of the 50 breads my apprentice would lug along. Can't wait to try it toasted with pate.

It's is hard to believe that a year has passes so fast. It has been a great baking and blogging experience thanks to all Fresh Lofians that make this community a unique, fun and fine forum for learning about way more than just bread. Thanks from me and my apprentice to all of you. I have learned much from so many here and so has my apprentice - even though she is cute as all get out she is still dumb as a stump and nearly worthless in the kitchen except for her ability to taste and smell better than anyone who has a shorter nose.
We baked way more than 100 different bread recipes. Don't know for sure how many but we stopped counting a t 100. A few were white, classical and more simple, not easy mind you, and many more that darker, more complex yet still classic. Then there were those that were...different and sometimes inspired by Ian's classic walks down the aisles of the auto parts store.
In any event, here is our blog index for the last year. We also managed to use up our total allotment for photo megabytes on the site too and will have to consult with Floyd about that small problem.
The Ravens managed to hold on to the Superbowl win in spite of near darkness . A classic game for sure.

This crust was super for the Super Bowl. Our best and most simple one to date – here is the recipe.
1/8 - tsp of active dry yeast
1/2 - tsp of sugar
120 g- AP flour
100 g- water
Mix yeast with sugar and water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then mix in the flour and let the biga sit on the counter overnight – 10 hours
300 g- flour
185 g- water
7 g– salt
This makes for 68% hydration dough with 1.5% salt.
Do 10 minutes of French slap and folds and let sit in an oil covered bowl for 1 hour, Do one set of S&F's 4 quarter turns, and let it sit for another hour before refrigerating. 2 hours before you want to use it, take it out of the fridge and let it warm up. We always par bake out crust for 3-4 minutes at 500 F on a stone before yaking them out to load them up with toppings.
I told Ian that I would tell him where the word crust comes from one day and since this was such a good crust, now is the time.
There is an old bread joke that Americans learned to bake bread from the French and the Brits. The French and the Brits learned all they know about bread from Romans and the Romans learned all they know about baking bread from the Greeks. The Greeks learned bread baking from the Egyptians and the Egyptians learned all they know about bread from a small artisan Jewish Bakery run by a Chinese baker in Jerusalem.
Paint with Mojo de Ajo and dock before par baking for 3-4 minutes.
There is way more truth to this than most want to admit. An example is toast. The Italians will tell you they invented garlic toast (and pizza too but that is another story), what we call bruschetta today , but this isn't really accurate and historically correct.
There was a really famous Greek baker, at least as famous bakers could be before television, named Paximos who baked bread long before there was a Roman Empire for Greece to be conquered by. He invented toast by roasting sliced bread on an open fire – a fairly simple recipe even then. Paximos found that his sourdough toasted bread not only sold well but kept for an unusually long time, even for sourdough. This allowed the Greek people people to travel with a food that was light weight and just the perfect road nosh. It allowed the Greeks to open up over land and sea new trade routes to far away places. Toast changed the world.
Paximos called his toast Paximadi, after himself. To this day you can travel all over Greece where in nearly every bakery, or outside it, you will see a sign proudly advertising Paximadi - toast. Some is sweet for breakfast and some has garlic on it for warding off conquering Roman hordes and vampires no doubt.
So, when the Romans finally invaded and conquered the Greeks, they discovered to their horror, that the Greeks had been making garlic toast – for centuries. Something as good as Paximadi just couldn't have a Greek name in the vast, all consuming Roman Empire. So the Rimans changes the name of Paximadi; Greek garlic toast, to something way more Roman – Crustulum – the Roman word we take our word for crust from today. But, we really should be calling crust Paxim if you ask me.
As a further note, when the Roman Empire fell, Italians stopped speaking Latin and picked up Italian as their daily vibe, they changed the name of Paximadi again - this time from Crustulum to Bruschetta. Americans too use this modern word for Greek garlic toast today but Americans prefer an even more ancient Egyptian name for wheat and yeast based sustenance on Super Bowl Sunday - Brewskies!
That's right. I'm one of the few people who can truthfully say they were born losers. I am a twin and the second one born. So, I managed to lose the first race I ever ran and was born in 2nd place – the worst kind of loser. Luckily, I can't remember much about my horrible awakening to the outside world that day so long ago, another loss I suppose. Maybe I'm double, double born loser though.
That's right a second time. It is not the end of the terrible two's that day. I was also born on the 2nd day, of the 2nd month in a year that was 2 years past 1/2 a century. I mean there ought to be a law that limits how many two's a twin can be stuck with on one day don't you think?
I would love to have back all the money I have bet on 2 and 22 over the years - roulette, lotteries, sports, etc. #2 has never been kind to born losers like me, but that doesn't stop us from trying to make it our lucky number. We are eternal optimists and think things will change after all these years of suffering. We think we will wake up from this bad dream and be born first and the number 1 has really been kind to us. But no – it isn't so – at least not yet.
So to celebrate, at lunch today, my wife and I split a 2 cheese, 2 bread and 2 meat panini with 2 homemade kosher dill pickles and 2 hot condiments, salsa verdi on chips and pickled jalapenos sans seeds. The 2 breads can be found here :
White Whole Wheat with Combo YW, Poolish, SD Starter, Water Roux and Wheat Berry Scald
Multi-grain Sourdough Chacon with Olives, Sun Dried Tomato, Garlic, Rosemary and 2 Cheeses
We split one of the 2 sandwiches in two to make 3 sandwiches since I was going to eat 2 of them and there was no really good reason for my wife to go hungry again this time. . My wife lit 3 candles, one on each sandwich representing one for my brother and 2 for me since I am twice as good him on my worst day – which can be pretty bad come to think about it.
He always was and still is - the Evil Twin. Most people don't even know there is always an Evil Twin but, take it from a real Born Loser, you are twice as likely to be the Evil Twin if you were unlucky enough to be born first on that day - a day of too many twos. Yes, I guess I'm saying my twin is a real Double Doofuss of the Twofuss!
Happy Birthday Brother - still thinking of you often and kindly but why…. we can't remember, even though we do forget and forgive at least as easy as any other Born Loser is likely to do – when celebrating the worst day we can remember J
Tonight we will have the panettone birthday cake that is oddly cut in two, with 2 candles. One candle is for the Evil Twin; the Double Doofuss of the Twofuss and the other is for the Born Loser.
I suppose there could be a sadder tale out there somewhere but, it I think will be difficult to duplicate The Tale of Too Many 2's for Twins.
We knew that we would have to get around to making some version of Phil's (Pip's) Savory Pumpkin and Feta Pie. As soon as we saw it we knew that it would be just about as great as regular pumpkin pie – just a little different.
But we couldn't leave well enough alone. So we caramelized the onions, added some caramelized shitake and button mushrooms and some Mexican grey squash too. Then my apprentice mixed up a spread of herbs that included thyme, rosemary and basil and I'm sure she put in some super sharp, aged white cheddar and Manchego along with the feta.
Then we really mixed it up with some whole wheat puff pastry instead of short crust. Even with all the changes we couldn't mess up this fine recipe.
It was absolutely delicious and well worth the effort even though it isn't an easy recipe like American pumpkin pie that is basically a pump and dump sweet custard that is also delicious - just different as Phil says.
It would be better with short crust, just a s Phil makes it (whole wheat instead) is our final take of this recipe - even though puff paste is usually so much better.
We had some left over whole wheat short crust pastry from our granola crisp topped, apple, pear, snockered dried fruit galette and decided to turn it into some WW puff pastry by laminating it with a little butter.
We usually use half the butter called for and do one more turn with the dough. It has always seemed to work well and with whole wheat it is almost healthy and nearly non fatting to eat compared to regular puff paste
The galette came out nicely as did the puff paste that we filled with vanilla cream cheese, and sugar macerated blackberries and strawberries with a little corn starch. We glazed the puff paste with an egg and sprinkled turbinado sugar onn the egg wash.
We don't have a name for this puff paste shape since it wasn't big enough to braid and we really filled it up. It did make a nice something- a - ruther that we will eventually get around to naming. Right now we will call it 'Not Varda's Sled.'
We love these English muffins and try to make them a little bit different each time we make them. This time we used some of the left over SD levain for the panettone. We made them the thickness that is called for in the recipe at 3/4" for the first time. Normally we make them thinner since the puff so much.
This is a levain, flour and milk on the counter overnight then sugar, salt and baking soda in the morning is added, 4 minutes of kneading and then shaping, I used a plastic drinking glass, followed by a 45 minute proof and then dry fried. Ian used an electric skillet for his earlier this week. After not even being thought about for decades, I saw our electric skillet in the garage the other day and it seems time to put it some good use for a change.
This batch came out the best yet but will make them ½" next time. The EM's made a great sandwich for breakfast this morning toasted, with butter, marmalade, sausage and egg on top. Yummy!
If you haven't made these yet, put then on the list - they are just too good to pass up and one of the few recipes we make over and over again – like bagels.
After the last panettone fiasco where they were under baked and plopped themselves onto the carpet when overturned on the skewers to cool, we decided to do some origami panettone molds out of one inside layer of parchment paper and one outside layer of regular printer paper.
There is no problem with the outside paper burning at 350 F. I had seed on Susan's Wild Yeast blog on chocolate panettone that she had made some origami panetonne molds in the shape of Easter baskets but thought that there must be some other shape that you could make to get the more traditional vertical look of panettone rather than a loaf shape.
Sure enough Sue was right. I found an origami tall trash can liner on the internet and used that to make the panettone molds. They came out very nice but didn't work all that well in the end. My apprentice was as apprehensive as last time but heck, she is afraid of her own shadow and not a reliable disaster predictor – except apparently for panettone plopping on the floor. .
2 of the 3 panettone fell out of the molds when overturned to cool again, even though they were baked to 205 F (the right temperature if you ask me) on the inside instead of the recommended 185 F. At least this time we were ready with a cutting board underneath so it didn't plop on the kitchen tile.
The problem was that the parchment on the inside of the mold was so slippery and the bread so heavy, it just fell out even when baled correctly. You really need paper to stick to the bread so it doesn't slip for this to work if you want to hang them upside down to cool. Instead of the paper on the outside, it should have been on the inside to stick to the bread.
Live and learn. At least we were able to save on of them this time and there was no blow out on at the base. We used Sue's recipe with a few changes found here:
The changes were instead of using commercial yeast with the SD we subbed 83 gof Yeast Water based levain for the yeast. For the fruits we used raisins, cranberries, red and green cherries, pineapple, citron, lemon and orange peel and some home made orange peel and Minneola zest in place of the orange zest. We also used the glaze on top too but no other toppings.
This is some pretty darn tasty, if totally; fattening, sweet, buttery and unhealthy as bread can get. But, if you only make it for special and rare occasions and walk 4 miles extra every day for every slice you eat – then why not! The one that we cooled on its side, rotating every so often until cool, was not the worse for wear so no more panettone hanging for me or my apprentice.
Toasted and buttered with Minneola marmalade. Normally I would put whipped cream on top with some chocolate sauce but i'm trying to eat better these days!
We had some left over YW levain from out panettone bake we will try to pull off today. Rather than toss it we decided to make a baguette so we could practice our slashing and have some bread for tonight's bruschetta.
The levain was20 god SD seed and50 gof YW that eventually totaled 160 g at 75% hydration with 50% of the flour rye, WW and spelt with the remainder AP. The levain was a 3 step build 4 hours apart. The dough flour was 40 grams of the whole meal mix plus 240 g of AP along with 185 g of water and 10 g of salt.
The total weight was 640 g and the total hydration was 66.25%. With such a low hydration you can tell we weren't going for holes and didn't want bruschettta falling through them.
We autolysed the dough flour for 2 hours and after mixing everything together we did 10 minutes of French slap and folds letting the dough rest for 20 minutes and the did 3 French folds every 20 minutes. We let the dough rest for 20 minutes and shaped it into a 16" long fat baguette and let it proof in a basket for 2 hours before firing up Big Old Betsy.
We should have let this dough double in volume – probably 4-6 hours but we didn't have room in the fridge for it and time had run out so we baked it 2 ¾ hours after it hit final proof at 450 F with steam. After 12 minutes we removed the steam and turned down the oven to 425 F, convection this time and continued to bake the baguette for 10 more minutes until the inside hit 208 F.
It browned up nicely and bloomed but no spring. We didn't expect much which is what we got on the inside. Pretty dense crumb with a few small holes, I'm sure it would have been fine if rested in the fridge for 24 hours and then allowed to finish proofing on the counter before baking.
This should warn others if you don't have time don't waste it by baking something that isn't ready just because you wanted to use up some starter. Always make sure that you have room in the fridge for a retard if you run out of time - especially if you are making YW baggie.

Bloodletting in the 19th century
Bloodletting for therapeutic purposes was at the height of popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries (Davis & Appel, 1979). Though many styles of tools have been used to extract blood (care for a leech?), above are two examples held by UT Health Science Center Historical and Special Collections – a scarificator and a spring lancet.
The brass scarificator has 13 blades and dates between 1833 and 1855. The label inside its box says "Geo. Tiemann & Co.; Manufacturers of Surgical Instruments & Every Description of Cutlery; No. 63 Chatham St.; New York." The scarificator is cocked by pulling the lever. Then a button releases the blades. Scarificators were developed as an accessory for cupping, the suction of blood from small cuts using glass cups. The procedure went something like this: the cups are heated and applied to the skin to create suction; the cup is quickly removed so the scarificator can be applied, creating in this case, 13 quarter-inch deep cuts; the cup is reapplied, pulling and collecting blood from the cuts (Davis & Appel, 1979). After about 1780, cupping sets were being exhausted by valves and syringes rather than heat.
While scarificators and cups were used to draw blood from capillaries, the lancet was a tool for venesection. This style of brass spring lancet pictured above was made during the 1800s. The blade was used much like a fleam or thumb lancet to puncture a vein. An internal ratchet and spring mechanism allows the blade to be cocked and then released.

Have any idea what these are?
Can you help us identify these tools? Because they are vaguely catheter-shaped, my best guess is a urethral dilator or sound, but I have not been able to confirm this. Each probe is threaded as if they attach to a handle. They are each about six inches long, and there is no opening in the end. Please comment if you have a clue what these are used for!

What is it?
The above tools, called trephines or trepans, were used to cut a circular hole in the skull. Practiced for tens of thousands of years, trepanation is believed to be the oldest surgical procedure practiced by humans (Frey, 2005). Early trepanations are thought to have been treatment for psychological disorders, epilepsy, and headaches (Frey, 2005).
The all-metal trephine pictured above is from after 1860, while the one with the ebony handle is from between 1860 and 1870. Both have Galt-style blades, characterized by the angled grooves on the cutting crown. This style was meant to produce less bone dust than the older straight crown. During the 19th century, trephines were used to relieve pressure on the brain following cranial injuries (Bakay, 1985).

"The combination of a competent, busy physician and a trained, excellent historian is infrequent. No one in Texas except Dr. Nixon had both the knowledge and the ability to write "the larger story"".
-Merton Minter
The Medical Story of Early Texas, 1946
Dr. Pat Ireland Nixon's second book, The Medical Story of Early Texas, was published in 1946 with funds provided by John and Jamie Bennett.
A Century of Medicine, 1936
Due to the efforts of Dr. Pat Ireland Nixon, the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library has in its collection a growing assortment of unique medical books. First accumulated for the Bexar County Medical Society Library, these rare and old books were donated to the University of Texas Health Science Center in 1970. Among the records are books written by the library's namesake, including A Century of Medicine in San Antonio.
