Featured as Lifehacker's Top 1 Utility in 2013 Best Android Apps (http://goo.gl/1VMwnE), Android Authority's Top 3 Best Root Apps (http://goo.gl/g0L0qZ).
NEW: Auto-hibernation now works in non-root mode, (need to be enabled in experimental features setting, Android 4.1+ required). If you have secure key-guard enabled, try "Hibernate and Lock Screen" shortcut or "Pull up" gesture on Home soft-key.
Never should your phone or tablet become slower and battery hungrier after lots of apps installed. With Greenify, your device can run almost as smoothly and lastingly as it did the first day you had it!
Greenify help you identify and put the misbehaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery, in an unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground, similar to iOS apps!
Please report bugs in the XDA forum (http://goo.gl/ZuLDnE) or G+ community (http://goo.gl/MoszF).
Greenify NEVER EVER collects your personal data despite the capability of accessibility service, it just takes advantage of it to automate things.
IMPORTANT: Greenifying an app implies that you are aware that all the background functionality (service, periodic task, event receiver, alarm, widget update, push message) of this app will become out of service during the hibernation except when you are using this app.
NEVER greenify alarm clock apps, instant messaging apps unless you don't rely on them. Please do verify the impact of greenified apps on which you heavily rely.
Compared to other popular tools aimed for the similar purpose, Greenify offers the following advantages:
◆ Unlike the "Freeze" feature in "TitaniumBackup Pro" that totally disable the app, you can still use your app as usual, share content with it. No need to freeze & defrozen it.
◆ Unlike "Autostarts", you can benefit from almost all of its advantages, without needing to deal with the complexity and risk of obscure app components, and never lose functionality when app is actively running.
◆ Unlike any "XXX Task Killer", your device will never fall into the cat-mouse-game of stealthy-running and aggressive killing, which unnecessarily consumes more battery juice.
Note: Greenify does need a background running service for auto-hibernation to work. It is designed and implemented in extremely lightweight, with an average RAM footprint less than 5M, and nearly zero CPU and battery consumption.
In case you cannot install from Play Store: http://oasisfeng.com/Greenify.apk
INTERNET: Needed by "Raise Your Voice" program to send back only small amount of anonymous statistics data, without privacy information. You can opt-out at any time.
DRAW OVER OTHER APP: To show guide layer over the app setting UI of system in non-root mode.
READ SENSITIVE LOG: To analysis the wake up cause of greenified apps.
GET ACCOUNTS & WRITE SYNC SETTINGS: Control the account sync of apps if its sync task is too frequent.
DISABLE YOUR SCREEN LOCK & BIND ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE: For automatic hibernation to work on non-root devices.
* Why not support Android 2.x?
* It seems that automatic hibernation is not working.
* Some of my greenified apps (e.g. Google Maps) seems not hibernating.
* I want to greenify system apps!
* De-greenified apps still got no push notification!

Lollipop 🍭 I'm using android L , 5.0.2 official Russian version for I9500. I know xposed framework isn't compatible with ART. However I wanna know if you guys are working on a version for Android L. I really miss xposed features of greenify. Nonetheless I'm going to use 5.0.2 from now on. Make it happen.

Great app, worth rooting ur android This app is great! I had an issue with the non-rooted version, but all works great now after rooting. I wish this was the default behavior of Android devices. Not a big fan of those constant ram/battery hogs (Facebook for example). All hail greenify! xD

Fantastic! Non rooted Moto G in KitKat 4.4.4 . This is one of the most useful apps in the play store and its developers are heroes. The new update has just solved the automated hibernate+lock shortcut. Like the new colours too. Thank you for developing this app! Topbanana. EDIT: GREAT UPDATE . my battery lasts 2 and half days with no charge! Experimental features are awesome. Cheers!!!!

Just got it So far no idea what it does it doesnt seem to be doing anything... I know they are " so proud " of there app if you email them. They don't even bother to reply back. I see they Ignore many on here also. Kinda childish if you ask me. App developers like this shouldn't be in business period!
Terrible after update. Nexus 7 2013 Stock rooted Lollipop 5.02. Often fails to put apps into hibernation. I have been using this app for some time and was a five star app for the entire time, up till an update or two ago. The problem seems to be when Greenify does not ask for Super SU permission. When Greenify asks, I grant and the apps hibernate. For some reason, Greenify does not remember that I gave it global Super SU. Please fix. I'm not trying to bring the apps rating down but rather get the devs attention to this issue.
Need info on how to use it I have bought the donation version of this app. But not at all aware how to use this app which options need to selected on experimental mode. I didn't find any information on how to use this or any user guide. Can you add information regarding how to use this app and which options needs to be selected while using this app. And why i have to download that Explode software from 3rd party site why is not available on play store?. Downloading any from 3rd party site could harm my device.
Not Hibernating Properly Background App Gets Started Automatically in Background. It Says Auto Hibernation Service Stopped Due to 3rd Party App blocked Greenify.What the Heck? I have only 360Mobile Safe Antivirus in which I whitelisted Greenify. Then How Is Any 3rd Party App Blocking Greenify.Pls Help Me Developers.
Most Important/Valuable App So Far Put this baby in motion and was so overjoyed/impressed, that I immediately purchased the donation package (what, 2 bucks for all you'll save?). Devs like this we need, they need our support. Turns out that the CM bloatware that purports to do this job, doesn't truly hibernate apps, eating your batteries/data anyhow! Greenify sleeps everything 4 real! (without loss of functionality) ahh, app silence! Awesome features if rooted, but basic features work without root anyhow. Light years ahead of the others.
Amazing app! One of the very very few true battery saving apps. This fantastic app doesn't waste my time with the usual battery saving guarantee. The app is also very light on system resources and minimal in design which provides the user with a straightforward experience and requires very basic knowledge to operate. And the donation version only gets better with the addition of all the extra features and functionality. Overall this app gets 5 stars from me. Definitely an essential tool for any android user.
Blessedly than in Lord for these products please battery instruments are produced by these companies that long just long give me longevity to my battery mini and some of them of what you have never seen before for my samsung galaxy s3 I wish I dunno my battery is weak at when I do have other life saver battery is dead don't work nearly as well when they say they say they give me salvation to my battery when I pulled away from the plug well it seems that the ones that just introduced send me more promising so I'm thinking the ones this area surrounded by this paragraph or the length of her that I selected the couple days that involves the ones us let the green green leaf or green if I collaborate ur and the one that works for the pixels they sell way that's a very ingenious battery one that's one very well thought up someone really put them on to that one to filter out the screen but not rubbing it have a slight its it's not really that that's only deceiving the person of the fullness of the screen with out bloody impolite it's very ingenious so well I am thankful for the education of him going through in their schooling and the couple of there with for designing these products and whomever they correlate with too funny and put things together and blue print them and developing him and put him on the market and put them in the Google Play Store god bless you and I hope you keep developing him and making him go later as time goes by take care and God bless
This app sucks The dev says it solved the talk around issue in google. Ive been eperiencing sound trouble(blurry and gurgly sound) when im watching youtube and other live streaming movies in my phone and my tablet. It makes your phone settings became unstable. Even when i unstalled. The same issue surfaces. Finally i factory reset it. The trouble was gone... So guys... BE VERY CAREFUL. DONT DOWNLOAD THIS...
A REAL battery saver Even without root or Xposed installed... Greenify delivers a solid performance and functionality that OEM's *should* implement on their devices pretty much for common sense... Great features, an easy learning curve, and no-frills usage have made this app my favorite over the 5 or so years i've been an android user and "tech go-to-guy" among my friends, and they sure love my advice over this app... i've supported the devs through the donation package, something everyone should do because of their great work. Keep it up guys!
?? I'm running greenify on 3 rooted devices, and I've noticed a very minor problem. After I reboot the devices, they all "forget" the search default set to Google. It shows greenify shortcuts also, like it's telling me "No, you really want this to be your default". Lol. It is starting to bug me though....i can't seem to find a solution to this.
Galaxy note 4 I love this app, been using it since it was first released but lately I've been having issue with it, it hibernates apps but some apps would not get hibernated unless I do it manually, a few updates ago it worked fine but recent updates have messed it up a little, would highly appreciate if it got fixed soon. Thanks.
What's New
Improved the stability of automated hibernation in non-root mode.
Introduce swipe (down) gesture to refresh in greenified app list.
Analyzing indicator is back to App Analyzer.

SuperSU is the Superuser access management tool of the future ;)
!!! SuperSU requires a rooted device !!!
SuperSU allows for advanced management of Superuser access rights for all the apps on your device that need root. SuperSU has been built from the ground up to counter a number of problems with other Superuser access management tools.
Features include:
- Superuser access prompt
- Superuser access logging
- Superuser access notifications
- Per-app notification configuration
- Temporary unroot
- Deep process detection (no more unknowns)
- Works in recovery (no more segfaulting)
- Works when Android isn't properly booted
- Works with non-standard shell locations
- Always runs in ghost mode
- Wake on prompt
- Convert to /system app
- Complete unroot
- Backup script to survive CyanogenMod nightlies

- Theme selectable from 4 options
- Launch from dialer: *#*#1234#*#* or *#*#7873778#*#* (*#*#SUPERSU#*#*)
NOTE: Not all phones take both codes. On some phones you need to use single *# instead of double *#*#
The Pro version additionally offers:
- OTA survival mode (no guarantees)
- Full color-coded command content logging (input/output/error)
- Per-app logging configuration
- Per-app user override
- Grant/deny root to an app for a set amount of time
- PIN protection
- Per-app PIN protection
- Adjust auto-deny countdown
The discussion and support thread can be found on XDA-Developers here:
This is meant to replace Superuser (if installed), you use either one or the other. You cannot combine them. Statements that this breaks Superuser are therefore completely nonsensical.
Superuser access management runs through a so called "su binary". There can be only one of these at a time. So if you install SuperSU, your previous superuser access management solution will no longer operate. So if you want to switch back: (1) Open that application, and search for an option for it to install/update/replace the "su binary". (2) Confirm root-using apps are using the superuser solution you want. (3) Uninstall SuperSU.
Want to help translate SuperSU ? See http://www.getlocalization.com/supersu/ !
These are completely optional and more like donations. They do not unlock any functionality.

ROM Manager
ROM Manager is THE MUST HAVE APP for any Android root user. (Over 10 million downloads and counting!)
* Flash your recovery to the latest and greatest ClockworkMod recovery.
* Manage your ROMs via a handy UI.
* Organize and perform backups and restores from within Android!
* Install ROMs from your SD card.
* Install your favorite ROMs over the air!
Premium Version:
* Incremental update zips (save your data plan!)
* Premium ROMs
* Receive notifications for when your ROM is updated!
* Automatic backups
* Install Queue
* Web Connect
* Backup Download Server lets you easily transfer backups as flashable zips to your computer.
Do you prefer using only recovery manually? Check out the Touch Recovery in app purchase, for the most advanced recovery available!
Why does ROM Manager ask for account permissions?
Web Connect only needs to access your Google account to connect it to your google account. It can't access any private data or passwords.
ClockworkMod Touch Recovery:
ClockworkMod Touch recovery (and recovery) is work that needs to put in for every new device that is released by a manufacturer.
If work on ROM Manager ceased completely, all the premium features would continue working without issue. However, new recoveries do not port and build themselves. Without ClockworkMod Touch being a per device purchase, there is no way to recoup recurring server costs and labor. Keeping ROM Manager free and operational costs tens of thousands of dollars a year, and that does not include engineering costs.
Your support is appreciated.
Droid users: Stuck at the "M" logo? Flash an alternate recovery and flash back to ClockworkMod.
HTC Users: Flash recovery not working? Try fastbooting a recovery on.
Droid X/2/Pro Users: You must run the Bootstrap application first to use ROM Manager.
Samsung users: You must flash a Clockwork compatible kernel first (see XDA forums)
Battery Calibration [ROOT]
Installed a new ROM? Or does your battery seem to be gone and drains very quickly? There's an easy help for this!
Battery Calibration is a simple app that formats the batterystats.bin file located in your /system storage.
Installed a new ROM? Or does your battery seem to be gone and drains very quickly? There's an easy help for this!
Battery Calibration is a simple app that formats the batterystats.bin file located in your /system storage.
This app removes the old values. After some time, your system will generate new, updated values.
This process significantly raises the battery life. Also, you can calibrate your battery basically anytime, whenever
you feel like your battery life needs to improve.
Some users may find this app a bit confusing. Even if you're not rooted, the pop-up saying "you've successfully calibrated your battery" will still pop-up. THIS WON'T WORK unless you ARE ROOTED. I should've probably coded this a bit better (sorry) because it might be a bit confusing.
If you see a toast message saying there was something wrong with the calibration, YOU HAVEN'T CALIBRATED YOUR BATTERY. So, if you're rooted, there's nothing you could be aware of. This will not brick your device, trust me.
Thank you for your support.
Root Checker
This application, Root Checker (Basic), will allow the user to confirm they have proper root (superuser) access configured and operational.
*Feel free to email me with any questions. I always reply!*
This application provides even the newest Android user with a simple method to check their device for root (administrator or superuser) access. The application provides a very simple user interface that easily notifies the user whether or not they have properly setup root access.
This application will test the device for root access using a very simple, quick, and reliable method. The su binary is the most common binary used on Android devices to grant and manage root access. Root Checker will check and verify that the su binary is located in a standard location on the device. In addition, Root Checker will verify that the su binary is properly functioning in granting root access.
Many times users experience issues along the path of installing, configuring, and gaining root access. For some users the process can seem complex while for others the process can seem simple. Regardless of the user's technical skill set, Root Checker, will quickly and correctly verify whether or not root access is 100% functioning. The process of confirming root access is sometimes known by other terms such as, gaining superuser access or gaining administrator access. Root Checker covers all these terms as they relate to one core function, being able to execute commands through the su binary with root access.
If the Superuser management applications (SuperSU, etc.) are installed and working properly, these applications will prompt the user to accept or deny the root access request from Root Checker. Accepting the request will allow Root Checker to check for root access. Denying the request will result in Root Checker reporting no root access.
Please don't leave negative feedback about a concern, bug or issue! Instead, please email me, tweet me, contact me on my web site - https://joeykrim.com/contact, IRC, or on the forums (XDA, RootzWiki, SDX, etc.) with your feedback, suggestions and comments!
I do my best to assist as many people as possible and appreciate all the support that has made this application successful! Thank you!
Grant and manage Superuser rights for your phone.
This app requires that you already have root, or a custom recovery image to work.
Note: App and binary will have different versions. The app is updated more often than the binary is.
This app cannot be uninstalled if it was installed with your ROM or root. If there is no uninstall option, it's because you placed it in /system/app, not me. It is impossible for an app to be installed in /system/app by the Play store. In fact, the entire /system partition is read only at runtime. The only way for an app to be placed in /system/app is via a rooting process (which usually installs Superuser), or by remounting the system partition as read/write and manually putting it there.
Permissions requested are for:
Internet - updating the binary
External storage - backup/restore for elite users
NFC - creating an allow tag for elite users
Boot completed - fix database on boot
Support request emails that simply say "Doesn't work" or something to that effect are automatically deleted by our stupidity filter and will not be answered.
Boot Animations ★ root
Welcome to the best Boot Animation manager on Android. This app contains more features and boot animations than any other app! Please check out ROM Toolbox Pro to get this app plus much more.
This app requires busybox and root access. If you have any questions or concerns please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Features include:
★ 300+ custom boot animations
★ Convert any animated GIF to a boot animation
★ Install boot animations from your SD card
★ Root file explorer (all features included)
★ Convert boot animations to animated GIFs
★ Preview boot animations
★ Randomize your boot animations (new boot animation each reboot)
★ Resize any boot animation and change the FPS
★ Backup/Restore multiple boot animations
★ Disable your boot animation for a faster boot
Some features are only available after an in-app purchase inside the app. You can also remove ads with a small in-app purchase. Your support is much appreciated.
Android has a few places where boot animations can be installed to. It may be that your install location isn't correct. You can select different install locations by clicking menu >> Install Location inside the app. The app also can help you find your install location by clicking menu >> Preferences >> Find locations.
Please make sure that the boot animation matches the resolution of your device or is smaller. Re-sizing the animation doesn't always work and sometimes causes a blank screen rather than a boot animation. Some manufactures (e.g. Samsung) don't use the standard format for boot animations. For devices that do not support the original format you will need to install a custom kernel which supports the standard boot animation. Flashing this ZIP in recovery will fix the issue on most Sumsung devices. Please make a current nandroid backup before flashing. ROM Installer may be used to flash the ZIP file.
Unfortunately, We don't own each Android device but we have tested installing boot animations on as many devices as we can. We will continue to do our best at making the install process as smooth as possible.

Root Booster
Root booster is for those who need more performance to run applications smoothly without lags or for those who need to improve a poor battery life
There are many apps that save battery or increase performance, however Root Booster uses the most proven settings to achive the best results. You can easily apply these settings with preset modes which ensure speed boost, battery boost or stability boost. These modes are achieved by applying appropriate settings to the main phone components. Here are some explanations for what particullary Root Booster does to your CPU, RAM and Android OS system.
Hibernation (Android OS optimizer)
Each Android application can have one or multiple services. They run in the background and usually perform some kind of task. Many people think that when they kill an application, it completely stops draining your battery and computing power, but that's not true. Application still have servicies that are running after killing and still drains battery and comuting power. On the other hand, if you hibernate an application it stop it\'s servicies and application does not drain battery and CPU computing power anymore. Hibernation is gently and efficient way to save your battery and increase performance.
Root Booster will find battery draining and performance demanding applications and auto hibernates them.
CPU (processor governor control)
A governor is a driver for the regulation of CPU frequency. Governor decides how fast and when will be achieved maximal or minimal CPU frequency. Setting apropriate governor makes your device more battery saving, fast or even more stable. However, deciding which governor is suitable is a little bit tricky.
Root Booster can decide which governor you should use and automatically applies the most suitable governor for the selected mode.
RAM (memory manager)
Each application uses VM heap for it 's data and work. The main reason to change the VM heap size is stability improvement. Many big applications need a big amount of memory (VM heap) for their work. If the VM heap size is smaller than the requested memory, it causes an application crash (Out of memory error). Setting heap size is hard task and there is no manual to set up for better performance. Better performance can be only achieved by testing.
Root boster will test your RAM and sets up your VM heap size for better stability and performance.
Greenified - Save your Battery
Greenified for Android is based off an old web service I use to run that would turn webpages to black and white on the fly. For your computer/device screen to show a bright pixel, such as White, it takes significantly more power than a darker pixel. On mobile devices, the biggest battery killer is the display. By applying a darker filter over your device screen, your power is greatly saved while the screen is on, as it requires less power to display everything.
Greenified allows you to apply a filter over your screen to reduce the brightness even further than the Android operating system allows. You are able to pre configure settings, including screen intensity and a brightness setting. When running, all settings are applied instantly, and restored to the previous state on stopping.
Please note, on some devices this may (as will any screen filter app) prevent the Install or Uninstall button of the Package Installer from working. You may need to disable the app before installing/uninstalling apps. A future release will detect when the package installer is active, and disable itself.
Root Checker
Root Checker gives you an easy and quick way to check whether your phone is 'Rooted'.
This app gives you the root information and build information.
Root Information:
-Whether su is installed
-Location of su executable
-Version of su
-Whether toolbox/busybox is installed

More from developer
Greenify (Donation Package)
This is just a donation package which activatessome experimental features (require ROOT) in the Greenify (free) app. Enable features from the main menu of Greenify.
=== 7 Days Refund Guarantee ===
Don't worry about the 15 minutes window, just relax and explore all the features. Refund requested in "Orders" of Google Play (or Google Wallet) within 7 days is guaranteed. (may take days to manually process). REQUESTS BY EMAIL WILL BE IGNORED.
=== Disclaimer ===
Some of these experimental features are still in early stage. They may not work on all devices & ROMs. They are included only for advanced users with sufficient knowledge about what they really mean and how to correctly use them. These features may crash your apps, or even brick your phone in the extreme cases. I will try my best to avoid those situations, but I don't take responsibility about the possible consequences. For your safety, please do a NANDroid backup before activating these features.
It is safe to purchase and install, since nothing is affected until any of the experimental features is enabled explicitly.
=== Experimental Features ===
◆ Boost mode (requires Xposed)
Android framework is patched to allow Greenify to perform hibernation and other operations without the slow root routine. Besides, Boost mode also improves compatibility of many features in Greenify.
◆ Allow (most) system apps to be greenified in Greenify
Beware, most system apps are critical to the basic functionality of your device, once greenified, you may lose some part of usability. If something bad happens, degreenify the system apps you recently greenified and reboot, or deactivate this experimental features of Greenify and reboot.
◆ Allow GCM push message to wake hibernated apps (requires Xposed)
Google service framework is patched to allow the GCM (Google Cloud Message, a.k.a. C2DM) broadcast to wake the hibernated apps, thus you can greenify some apps without losing the ability to receive push message.
Attention: Not all apps use GCM as push mechanism, some apps create their own connection for push in background service, thus can't benefit from this patch and their push messages can never survive hibernation. Please DO NOT ask for that, it's just a "mission impossible" in practice. Instead, ask their developer to adopt the more RAM-and-battery-friendly GCM push.
◆ Keep Notifications after Hibernation
Android framework is patched to keep notifications from being removed when application hibernates.
◆ Wake-up Tracker (requires Xposed)
Android framework is patched to track which app implicitly woke your hibernated apps. You can decide whether to cut-off the wake-up path to avoid further wake-ups.
◆ Block App State Abuse. (requires Xposed)
Block the the abuse (via a vulnerability of Android up to 4.2) used by some apps to keep themselves from being killed by Android. This abuse leads to undesired apps "Not Hibernating" due to false "Perceptible" state in Greenify.
PS: For Android 4.3+, this can also remove the annoying permanent notification from some apps, which was hidden in pre-4.3 system.
=== Xposed Installation ===
1. Download and install Xposed installer: http://goo.gl/CKTWXZ
2. Install the "Framework" in the "Xposed Installer" and activate "Greenify" in "Modules".
3. Reboot
=== Why do I need to install another framework for some features to work? ===
Since these experimental features all need OS level patches, traditionally they can only be applied with ROM modding, which is highly device-specific and ROM-exclusive. Xposed framework is a new hope to do finer grained tiny patches in a ROM-independent way. Thanks to Xposed framework, you can enjoy these experimental features of Greenify without replacing your ROM.
=== Feedback and further discussion ===
Visit the community: http://goo.gl/MoszF or XDA forum: http://goo.gl/ZuLDnE
Master-Key Security Patch
Need Xposed framework to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
If you are unaware of the "Master-Key security vulnerability", please read the report:
This patch is based on the official patch codebase from Google, adapted as Xposed module.
To test whether you are actually protected by this patch, try installing this proof-of-concept demo apk:
If it says "not installed", congratulations, you are now immune to Master-Key vulnerability!
NOTE: BlueboxScanner may still report your device as "Unpatched/vulnerable". Just relax, its a false report. Do a real test with the above PoC demo.

Bytes Insight
Want to know how many bytes were actually used by sharing a photo on Instagram, refreshing the timeline in Facebook, or a full sync of Google Currents? Bytes Insight give you instant observation for short-term network usage, directly on the status-bar!
When network is being actively used, a notification with numerical status-bar indicator will show up and constantly update itself. The indicator will be hidden if network is idle, but you can still find all the statistics in the notification panel.
New version 2.0 brings per-app insights
Besides the overall usage, a new application-level usage statistics is added in verison 2.0! App recently consuming network traffic will be shown directly on the notification. On Android 4.1+, a list of recent traffic consuming apps is included in the expanded notification.
* Light-weight focused implementation in extremely low footprint. Start-on-demand background service for only 3M approximately (vary with devices and Android versions)
* Absolutely ZERO memory and battery consumption when network is inactive.
* Hide status-bar indicator when network is not being actively used.
* Selectively monitor only cellular (mobile network) data traffic or all network traffic.
* Per-app usage statistics within expandable notification. (expandable only on Android 4.1+)
* Minor traffic (sensitivity configurable) will not be notified.
* Click the notification to reset the traffic statistics (on Android pre-4.1) or additional actions on notification for quick reset and settings (on Android 4.1+).

The pager in On Topic
A while ago I tried to add a few keys to the pager. One of them didn't exist. The problem is that every time I open the pager and it start listing the keys, I get an error message: "There is no such key". Why does this occur?
This is a known bug. Not only does the error occur, but it also appears to block the display of all subsequent keys. Fortunately there is an obscure workaround that you can use until it's fixed. On the command line, type: .account remove-friend [name of obsolete key] Hopefully you remember the name. Doing this seems to fix the problem.

Perfect Location in Baytowne Wharf!
This was my Husband and I's first time to Baytowne Wharf and we loved it!
The location of this condo is superb! I loved the balcony and used it every morning, great for relaxing with a book or for people watching. The interior of the condo is decorated very nicely in a beachy theme. The bed was very comfortable! The pool area is great as well, it was a nice resort style pool with a great hot tub. This condo is in the heart of Baytowne Wharf, you can walk to all of the restaurants, lots of walking trails, great for fishing, live music every night and lots of activities for families.
The owners are great as well and give great suggestions on what to do and where to eat! I highly recommend this place and would stay here again.

Do you still own it? Memories? Pictures.
Mine was a Remington 22 model 514 single shot bolt action. It taught me to shoot straight. Still one of the straightest shooting guns I've ever shot.
I purchased at the local hardware store it with money I earned collecting pop bottles at the age of about 10 without my parents even knowing what I was up to.
Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I'm not a photographer, obviously.

French love affair with Sarkozy is fading
Amid a high-profile romance with Italian supermodel Carla Bruni, the French president is facing tough questions and slipping in public opinion polls.
Ben CuRtis/AP
Nicolas Sarkozy, the perpetual-motion French president, has dipped significantly in the polls – to 48-percent approval – in the midst of an unusual, highly publicized new romance with supermodel-singer Carla Bruni and a likely marriage next month.
As Mr. Sarkozy is being splashed across the pages of French magazines and newspapers in the company of Ms. Bruni at Disneyland Paris and the Egyptian pyramids, he's also finding some tougher new questions about his performance, possible constraints on his promise to reform, and criticism about his jet-set image at a time when many French still feel that their economy is listing.
At his first official press conference this week at the Elysée palace in front of 600 journalists, Sarkozy sought to ameliorate the grumbling.
In fine French fashion, he set out lofty concepts over two hours about the importance of a great civilization, talked about an Internet tax, and the project of reforming the 35-hour work-week. He joked with the press for "waiting until the second question" to ask about his love life, and turned back their criticism of making his romance a Page 1 story by chiding them for sending photographers.
'The Carla effect'
French traditionally don't care, and don't want to know about, the private lives of their top office holders. Yet due to what is being called "the Carla effect," Sarkozy is losing some credit among ordinary French – a miscalculation by the palace, which is said to have hoped for a "glamour bounce."

Cold and Creamy Mango-Coconut Terrine
- TOTAL TIME: 1 HR 30 MIN plus overnight freezing
- SERVINGS: 6 to 8
While creating this cold, creamy terrine with layers of fluffy coconut mousse and sweet-tart mango sorbet, Lauren Chattman (author of Icebox Desserts) decided to add crunchy bits of sesame praline. But she couldn't get the praline right. Then she discovered a great trick: While melting the sugar in hot water, you can prevent the edges of the praline from crystallizing by covering the pot.
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1 pint mango sorbet, softened slightly
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- One 15-ounce can cream of coconut (such as Coco López)
- 1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon pure coconut extract (optional)
- Diced fresh mango and fresh coconut shavings, for garnish
- Butter a large rimmed baking sheet. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with 1/4 cup of the water and bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Cover and simmer the syrup over moderate heat for 1 minute. Uncover and simmer over moderately high heat, without stirring, until an amber caramel forms, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the sesame seeds with a skewer or chopstick. Immediately pour the caramel onto the baking sheet and tilt carefully to spread the caramel in a thin layer. Using 2 forks, pull and stretch the caramel into as thin a layer as possible. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Using a spatula, pry the sesame praline from the sheet and break it into shards. Transfer half of the shards to a food processor and pulse to a fine powder. Reserve the remaining shards for garnish.
- Line a 9-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap. Spoon the sorbet into the loaf pan and smooth the surface. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the remaining 3 tablespoons of water and let soften for 2 minutes. Microwave on high power for 10 seconds, just until melted. Whisk in the cream of coconut.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream with the coconut extract at high speed until firm. Add the cream of coconut mixture and beat at low speed just until combined.
- Carefully lift the sorbet rectangle out of the loaf pan and return to the freezer. Line the loaf pan with a double sheet of plastic wrap, leaving at least 2 inches of overhang on all sides. Pour one-third of the coconut mousse into the loaf pan and sprinkle with half of the sesame praline powder. Unwrap the sorbet rectangle. Ease it into the loaf pan and sprinkle with the remaining praline powder. Using a rubber spatula, gently spread the remaining coconut mousse on top. Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the top of the terrine and freeze until it is firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Carefully unmold and unwrap the terrine. Using a hot knife, cut the terrine into slices. Garnish the slices with the praline shards, diced mango and fresh coconut and serve.

Windstream Secures $1.6M Order To Supply Fiber Service To Three U.S. Military Installations
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Windstream (Nasdaq:WIN), a leading provider of advanced network communications, announced today that it has been awarded a five-year, $1.6 million contract by the United States Department of Defense to provide fiber connections and services for three U.S. military bases.
Installation of diversified, 2.5 GB fiber-optic service is in progress at Fort Sill in Lawton, Okla., providing a faster, more reliable Internet connection to the base. As part of the contract, Tinker Air Force Base outside of Oklahoma City, Okla., and Kelly Field Annex in San Antonio, Texas, will also receive upgraded fiber connections, allowing for increased efficiency and productivity in day-to-day tasks, as well as in mission-critical exercises.
"We are thrilled to have been selected to design and deliver these fiber-optic networks to the heroes at Fort Sill, Tinker Air Force Base and Kelly Field Annex," said Mike Magliato, Windstream's vice president of government solutions. "Not only are we excited to be the fiber provider of choice for these important military establishments, we are proud to continue providing voice and data services to the United States government."
Located 85 miles southwest of Oklahoma City, Fort Sill trains more than 100,000 troops annually and is home to the 75 th Fires Brigade, 214 th Fires Brigade, and 31 st Air Defense Artillery Brigade. Tinker AFB operates just outside of Oklahoma City and welcomes an average of 27,000 military and civilian employees annually. In addition, approximately 40,000 military men and women will utilize Windstream's connectivity while in transit at Kelly Field Annex (now Lackland AFB) in San Antonio annually. With the constant demand in technology needs at Fort Sill, Tinker AFB and the Kelly Field Annex, the highest level of service and redundancy are necessary to ensure reliable service connectivity. "With Windstream's recent award of a $12 million federal contract to supply voice, data and Internet services over its national fiber network to the Department of Veterans Affairs, we continue to make strides in serving the communications needs of government agencies," said Brent Whittington, Windstream's chief operating officer. "We're committed to providing 'smart solutions, personalized service' to each customer, but consider it quite an honor when selected to serve those who serve us so well."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

it's like in yuu yuu hakusho, isn't it? REIGUN!!!
Its naruto, he watched some YYH!!! (not like its the first move he is going to copy =p)it's like in yuu yuu hakusho, isn't it? REIGUN!!!
But this is not that far unpratical since he has no long range attack other then his Kunais and Shurikens.
Also got to remember that Sasuke has his arsenal of Katons to fry naruto before he even gets near him.
and that makes sense if he'll try to make a rasengun so he can have a long-range-chakra-based-with-nature-composition attack(duh)
but it's rasengan after all, man! a ball-shaped power should be long-range, and that doesn't mean wind-element jutsus are weak in long-range
just means they not strong

TTC #3, cycle 17
Pretty sure I'm here, expecting af any day now, I had some pinkish cm earlier today. I may not be aroun d much, I think I need to take a complete break from TTC, I'm still deciding. I might hang out but I am going to try no charting and no opks, not sure how I will go, I have barely/not used opks the last few months, but I actually enjoy charting
I enjoy it too...I feel it is almost less stressful to be able to pinpoint O day. The "Let it happen" and loosely TTC doesn't seem to work for me because I don't O the same day every month. GL Wendy

TTC #3, cycle 17
Sorry Jenny, but glad we get to have you still!!
So AF started for me a few days ago, and it was like a steady flow one day then 2 days of nothing nada zip dry and today starting back up. I wonder if I should change today to CD1? I am just going to leave it but assume I won't O until CD24 so right at the end of the month for me, most likely... going to be busy month thankfully, hopefully it will go quickly!

TTC #3, cycle 17
I'm here for now. This is only our second month TTC and we are kind of in a relaxed mode about it for now because we have a lot of other unknowns going on in our lives in the near future but I have abnormal cycles so have to chart anyway to prevent surprise visits from AF. I told DH I wouldn't force him to DTD to conceive but I get crazy for it naturally when I'm about O so thats really an empty promise.
I may be out for this month because of a trip planed that will put me away from DH when I am predicted to O but as I said, I have abnormal cycles and in the past wouldn't O away from DH. In fact, my daughter was conceived on CD 60 because my DH kept going on work trips and my body went a little crazy. The chart was all over the place with fertile signs coming and going so who knows what will happen this month.
Wendy, I think maybe taking a break and not stressing over your chart for awhile may be just the thing you need but I have to say I was looking forward to having the "friend" here. Please don't torture yourself though.
Idk about that one Sarah, maybe just keep track with notes while charting so you can pin point o better. I am wondering if I am charting af wrong I was charting spotting as the first day I would start to see anything bc it was so light and I didn't even need a lied. But maybe it should just be cd1 ?

Catherine Gee is disgusting! WHAT sort of people chose to put her as presenter for a day time tv program?! I used to enjoy watching this program but can't stand looking at that woman for more that 5 seconds.
Written on: 10/05/2012
I agree, my daughter gets in from school just towards the end (she's 13) and the last thing she needs to see is that scrawny, anorexic, disgusting, condescending woman. Her body makes me feel sick and I don't think she should be allowed on the television where young girls are so influenced by size. Get her a good meal and take her off the tv until she is a normal size and learns how to present properly. Bring back either of the two girls off Brookside or Hollyoaks they looked normal.

It's hard to ease up and/or take it easy when you're listening to a song like "Window Pain", as JKJ kicks back with a bit of hesitation because he needs to know that you're listening and paying attention while he crates something so funky. He did this to add to his forthcoming album called Internal Warfare and I hope it will be as good as this is. The song was produced by another member of the Beats family, Shuma Beats.
AUDIO: XII Boar's "Chicken Hawk"
This has been described as "pure rock and roll for the heavier generation" and if there's truth to that statement, then I hope that generation will let themselves be known. The music is by a British band who call themselves XII Boar ("twelve boar") and they enjoy mixing up elements of sludge and stoner metal into something that sounds as raw as any of their contemporaries and influences. If you need prove, listen to "Chicken Hawk", a song from the band's debut album due out next week called Pitworthy and after playing this, you're going to be in disbelief in that this is only their first album. Sounds impossible but it's true. The album can be pre-ordered from their Big Cartel page. If you'd like to know more about the album and the band themselves, you may have a look at a 21 minute video interview below.
SOME STUFFS: Canadian death metal in your conscience from Demonic Possessor
If you want to know what kind of death metal is coming from Canada these days, look no further than Porous Chambers, the new album by Toronto's Demonic Possessor. These guys not only play plodding death metal, but do so at times in a sludgy manner to where they may sound like Godflesh, Bathory, or Buzzov•en to some. The album may only have five songs on it but one track ("The Twisting Spires of Impending Insurmountable Madness) is 11½ minutes while another ("Hikikiomori") goes at 15 minutes. The album is also available on vinyl, only 300 copies have been pressed, 100 copies on red vinyl and the remaining 200 on standard black. You can order the red vinyl pressing through Bandcamp below, and will be shipped to consumers in early May.
VIDEO: Futuristic & Sam Lachow's "Watch Yo Mouth"
To me, this sounds like normal hip-hop and I love what Futuristic and Sam Lachow do here for their song "Watch You Mouth". The lyrics are nice, the flows are different for each guy but works, and the song was put together in a way that doesn't sound like anyone else. For others, this might be too adventurous but what's wrong with that? Nothing at all. They did the video with directors Jakob Owens and Tom Taugher, would love if this blew up in the springtime.
VIDEO: NomiS' "fLAW"
NomiS has a new song called "fLAW" and it's going to make its way onto two albums: NomiS' own Socially Just and a compilation on its way called Cram X. I'm not sure if the versio in the video, which was done as they were shooting it, will be the same one that is released but I like how he did it so be on the lookout for it soon.
AUDIO: Kuzin's "Cavity"
A few of you may know her as Jessica Maros but this Los Angeles singer, who is one half of the duo Escondido, wants to be known under another name. As a solo artist, she is making herself known as Kuzin, which means if you too are a cousin, you may want to kiss her, which would be kinda clever. Anyway, her debut album will be released tomorrow and it's called Cavity, produced by Grammy-nominated producer Bill Reynolds, who you may be familiar with as a member of Band Of Horses. The title track has a nice rock edge but it is pure pop for those who love pop without the issues. Some of you may hear hints of Tanya Donnelly but judge Kuzin for yourself. I did and I like it.

AUDIO: Canopy Climbers' "Potion"
April is only a month away but if you'r eup for some alternative/indie pop, prepare for new music from the Canopy Climbers. Their EP, called Fever is ready to go but for now you can listen to a song called "Potion", which may coat you after hearing it. It may sound like 80's pop, it may remind you of boy bands, or it may make you go "this is the most original thing I've heard in a long time." It's up to you.

The evidence all comes from his record pre-presidency, including a statement chiding then-President George W. Bush for not pushing to renew a ban on assault weapons and another opposing the carrying of concealed weapons.
During the 2008 campaign, there was perhaps no greater gaffe by Obama than his secretly recorded comment at a San Francisco fundraiser in which he said that people in small-town Pennsylvania, wracked by job losses, "get bitter" and "cling to guns or religion."
Now the argument by gun-rights advocates is this: If Obama is reelected, he will have no more elections to worry about, and then he will show his true colors on guns. This was the message promoted by NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre at the Conservative Political Action Conference last February.
"All that first-term lip service to gun owners is just part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the Second Amendment in his second term," Mr. LaPierre said to thunderous applause.
In political terms, the timing of the Colorado massacre could hardly have been worse for Obama, says Richard Feldman, a former NRA lobbyist and president of the Independent Firearm Owners Association.

How much difference does the new V8 make?
by mkaresh: Apr 3, 2006 - Updated Jan 13, 2007
Recommended: Yes
V8 a very welcome improvement over the turbo six, handles better as well
Interior needs the upgrade it will receive for 2007, a bit tight inside
The Bottom Line:
The V8 is easily worth its higher price. I enjoyed driving the XC90 much more this time around.
I last drove
and reviewed
the XC90 in both five- and six-cylinder forms a couple of years ago, and wasn't terribly impressed. The SUV's steering was overly light at low speeds, the handling was a bit tippy, and both turbocharged engines suffered from non-linear power delivery. It was too easy to have not enough one second then too much the next. Finally, I saw little point to the more expensive T6 because the 2.5T's extra gear ratio largely compensated for the five-cylinder's power deficit.
In the middle of the 2005 model year Volvo began offering a Yamaha-engineered normally-aspirated 311-horsepower 4.4-liter V8 in the XC90. Teamed with a six-speed automatic and a faster-reacting all-wheel-drive system, it promised to eliminate many of the problems I had with the turbocharged engines. Furthermore, this engine will soon be offered in some Volvo and Lincoln sedans. Eager to sample it and see how much it improved Volvo's SUV, I took an XC90 V8 for a test drive.
Unlike the overly cladded XC70, the XC90 is an attractive vehicle, looking at once SUV rugged and luxury car elegant. In it Volvos current design language has translated very well to SUV proportions. The proportions themselves deserve some of the credit. Theyre pretty much perfect. Unlike with many car-based SUVs (especially the
Honda Pilot
Acura MDX
sibs) the front overhang does not appear excessive. It might have helped that no attempt was made to share a platform with a minivan, as was the case with the Honda products and GMs Pontiac Aztek and
Buick Rendezvous
. Unlike with those GM products, the Volvo possesses a healthy amount of ground clearance, without which an SUV doesnt quite look like an SUV (and doesnt clear rocks like one theoretically should, either).
Last time I noted that the XC90 needs at least the 17-inch wheels to look right. The V8, with standard 18s, does just fine here. Though an even larger wheel would improve the styling even more; 18s just aren't as large as they used to be.
The XC90 also strongly resembles other Volvos on the inside. Most of the controls are well laid out and intuitive to usethe radio being the major exception. Nothing fancy, just moderately luxurious functionality in the Scandinavian idiom.
As in other Volvos, materials quality is roughly equivalent to VWs, and a step or two below Audi, BMW, and Lexus. The interior continues to be less rich than that in some other Volvos. Help is on the way: the 2007 will have an upgraded interior.
As noted above, the XC90 stands well off the ground, and the seats are similarly positioned at a conventional SUV height. The
is similarly packaged, but many other car-based SUVs sit a few inches lowermost notably the
Chrysler Pacifica
Infiniti FX
(which are marketed as a new, not quite SUV type of vehicle). One benefit is a commanding driving position with excellent visibility over the hood and out the side windows.
The view rearward is much less happy when both rows of seats are up. Three rows of tall headrests block most of the view out of the rear window. The XC90 desperately needs a rear-view camera like the ones offered by many competitors.
The first two rows of seats are typical Volvo: large and softer than the Germans. The drivers seat doesnt cup you quite as much as that in the S60/V70, but its still very supportive and comfortable. The second row slides fore-and-aft a few inches in three sections split 40/20/40. It can also be reclined. In its rearmost position there is a decent amount of legroom, but nothing to write home about. If the front seats are far back and the second row is not, then adults will be a bit cramped. Shoulder room in the first and second row is similar to most midsize SUVs, with the notable exception of the Honda and Acura, which feel considerably roomier than the norm.
The sunroof is a conventional, standard-size unit. More and more SUVs are taking advantage of their large roofs to fit extra-large sunroofs. One would be welcome here.
The third row, which is standard with the V8, resembles those in the Honda/Acura sibs and Chrysler Pacifica. Both headroom and legroom are inadequate for adults. To get any sort of legroom back there the second row cannot be all the way back. Access is not easy.
With the third row up, cargo space is limited. The second and third rows can be folded to form a flat load floor. Folding the seats, especially those in the third row, requires many steps, all of them manual. Among them, the headrests must be flopped forward. But at least there is no need to remove the things, unlike in some other SUVs. Cargo volume with both rows folded is an excellent 85 cubic feet. An Acura MDX offers 82 cubic feet, a Chrysler Pacifica offers 80, a
Lexus RX 330
offers 85, and a BMW X5 only 54.
The XC90 for reasons I cannot fathom uses a two-piece tailgate. The top part is so much larger than the approximately six-inch tall bottom part that I do not understand why Volvo bothered with the additional complexity and cost of two pieces. As with other two-piece tailgates, the top part must be raised first.
When I last reviewed the XC90 an entertainment system was not available. To compensate for this odd omission, Volvo now offers a twin-screen system. It'll cost you two grand, though.
On the Road
My first impression of the V8 was that it isn't that peppy. But then I discovered that the accelerator has a longer travel than most. My right foot soon learned to dig deeper to find a strong, responsive engine. The six-speed automatic's short first and second gears and tight spacing between ratios help get the engine into its power band and keep it there. Accleration still isn't breathtaking, but it's well beyond sufficient. Once over 4,000 RPM the V8 emits a sonorous growl that I found both pleasing and in-character for a premium SUV. A few times I took the engine to the redline just to listen to its song. Despite the 60-degree angle between cylinder banks, ideal for a V6 but odd for a V8, the new engine feels smooth. Needless to say, this powertrain is a huge improvement over the old six-cylinder turbo / four-speed automatic combo.
Volvo introduced a faster-reacting all-wheel-drive system with the V8. During my test drive I failed to notice any obvious power shift from the front to the rear wheels, or the trace of torque steer I noted the last time around. The XC90 with this system also understeers less when powering through a turn. So the new system works as advertised.
The steering remains overly light at low speeds, and feedback remains in short supply, but by paying especially close attention to my fingertips I could get a hint of what the front tires were up to. I've read no mention of alterations to the suspension, but the V8 seemed to lean less in hard turns, and lacked the rear-end sway in quick transitions that I warned about last time. The V8's chassis remains squishier and less responsive than a BMW X5's or Infiniti FX's. There's still a touch of slack and delay in the steering and suspension. The automatically adjusting shocks used in the
R versions
of the S60 and V70 could help. But the XC90's handling was taut enough this time around to provide a modicum of entertainment. It's certainly much handier than Mercedes' new three-row SUV, the
The V8's quick, linear responses and generous thrust help; they make driving the top-of-the-line XC90 much more a point-and-shoot (rather than point-squeeze-and-wait) affair. I also personally like how the moderate breadth of the XC90's cabin makes the vehicle feel smaller and lighter than it actually is. The XC90 might actually feel too small to people seeking a large, roomy SUV. But the front seat room is about right for those of us who prefer the more agile feel of a compact vehicle.
For an SUV the XC90s brakes are powerful, though brake feel was a bit mushy. Once again I did not experience the touchiness I have in some other Volvos.
The payoff for the XC90s less sporting handling relative to an X5 or FX is a much more compliant ride, even with the lower-profile 18-inch tires. A luxury sedan is much better still, but for an SUV the Volvo seems to ride well. It probably helps that even with the largest wheels the tires are not low profile, with an aspect ratio of 60. Also to its credit, the XC90s ride was composed; it possessed none of the side-to-side or fore-aft rocking that plagues some loosely suspended SUVs, especially those based on trucks.
Noise levels were moderately low. The XC90 should be a comfortable vehicle to travel in aside from the seating issues discussed above.
I did not attempt to take the XC90 off the pavement. Like most other car-based SUVs, this vehicle is not intended for serious off-roading. Based on the ground clearance and ride compliance, however, it should handle unpaved roads well.
Overall, while the XC90 remains oriented towards comfort and safety, the V8 version invites and rewards aggressive driving.
Volvo XC90 V8 Price Comparisons and Pricing
The XC90 was initially the only European SUV with a third row. Mercedes soon responded with a third row in the ML, but by then that vehicle was past its prime. So the Volvo still pretty much had a niche to itself.
However, Merecedes and Audi have both recently introduced new three-row SUVs, the GL-Class and Q7, respectively. A new Acura MDX is also around the bend. Discounts can already be quite generous on the XC90. Expect them to get even better, giving the Volvo a significant price advantage over the new European entries.
Current comparisons, base to base without incentives:
GL450: $8,100 more at MSRP, $7,100 more at invoice
Q7: $2,500 more at MSRP, $1,400 more at invoice
Prices change frequently, and differences will vary based on feature level. To quickly generate these and other comparisons with the specific features you want, visit my Web site, www.truedelta.com. (It's the only site that provides true "apples-to-apples" price comparisons.)
TrueDelta's page for the Volvo XC90:
Final Words
The new V8, six-speed automatic, and all-wheel-drive system, coupled with suspension tweaks, make the XC90 considerably more fun to drive. Even in regular driving the V8 is a more refined, better-behaved vehicle. If you want an XC90, I strongly recommend getting this engine.
That said, the XC90 is getting up in years. The interior will receive a much-needed upgrade this fall. The steering and suspension are not the best. And the interior is a bit tight. Put it all together, and I wouldn't pay MSRP for one. But given the right discount I wouldn't mind owning the V8.
A note on Volvo XC90 V8 Reliability
I cannot practically cover reliability within the context of this review. However, many people are interested in such information, so I've started collecting my own data. Results, once they are available, will be posted to my site, www.truedelta.com, with updates every three months.
Unlike other sources, TrueDelta will clearly identify what difference it will make if you buy an XC90 V8 rather than another vehicle by providing "times in the shop" and "days in the shop" stats (among others). You will be able to specify the number of years, annual miles, and types of repairs to include in Volvo XC90 V8 reliability comparisons.
Before I can report results, I need data on all cars--not just the XC90--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data will receive
free access
to the site's reliability information. For non-participants, this access will cost $24.95.
For the details, and to sign up, visit www.truedelta.com.

Newly-crowned Formula 3000 champion Bjorn Wirdheim will make his Formula One debut in September when he drives for Jordan in the Friday morning test session at the Italian Grand Prix.
Wirdheim, who clinched the 2003 F3000 title on Saturday with a second place at Hockenheim, will also test for Jordan at Monza early next month ahead of his maiden Grand Prix appearance on September 12. In preparation the 23 year-old Swede had a seat fitting with Jordan over the German Grand Prix weekend.
He will become the second additional driver to run for the team in Friday testing this season, following in the footsteps of F3000 rival Zsolt Baumgartner, who appeared for Jordan at Hockenheim and will do so again at his home race in Hungary later this month.
