Why isn't there a simple preference to disable core and plugin update checks? Make it scary, make it horrible, but please make it available without adding to my plugin checklist.
Why isn't there a simple preference to disable core and plugin update checks? Make it scary, make it horrible, but please make it available without adding to my plugin checklist.
The issue was not raised until just before the release, leaving no time to get a simple checkbox option added.
There is a ticket and patch in to do just that. These plugins are only there in order to combat irrational paranoia.
Regardless, this information is not saved anywhere. It's only used to determine update needs.
Thanks for the update! I'm not terribly concerned about the privacy issues raised by some. I just don't need it active on every one of my WordPress installs ... seven and rising! :)
I see this:
But not working at all:
I logged out of admin cp, cleared cache, and then relogin and check the plugin page and still showing updates.
war59312: The update code sets a flag when it finds an update. So turning off the check like this won't disable that flag.
So, it's not that it's looking for an update still, it's that it actually found one before you turned them off. The flag won't clear until you actually perform the update.
Oh ok, got ya.. Any way to remove that flag then?
war59312: you're using the wrong plugin. Try this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disable-wordpress-plugin-updates
Ott042: the plugin does in fact hide the update notification even if the update flag has already been set before the plugin was activated :)
OMG I'm blind some times... Yeah thanks.. Got both working fine now... Thanks! :D
I have found the "Disable Core Update" does not actually work in preventing all activity. The reason is because the default priority for the add_action is too low.
edit the plugin and change the first line to this simple addition:
add_action( 'init', create_function( '$a', "remove_action( 'init', 'wp_version_check' );" ),2);
(only thing that is different is the ",2" which sets a very high priority)
This change is tested working.
Someone elsewhere posted a simple css fix so the wordpress core update message won't display (the chief concern I have for my customers).
Edit the wp-admin.css (under the wp-admin directory) and add "display: none;" to #update-nag section. (it's near the very bottom)
Worked like a champ and was very easy.
The plug-in (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disable-wordpress-plugin-updates/) oddly enough caused severe performance issues on my blogs causing page timeouts and extremely slow page loads. Deactivate the plugin, all is good, Activate it, performance issues abound. It would happen 1 out of every 4-6 page loads. Strange.
Side note - I use A LOT of plugins, so this could be a result of a combination of plugins, not that this one is the sole cause. But wanted to provide a heads up if anyone else experienced the same thing.
@localword: Genius.
is not working
@alkagoel: Correct. What would you like done about it?

Best Gelato (2007)
Coco Gelato
Gustavo Sidelnik was a young man in love when he first started making gelato. He had caught sight of a beautiful Italian maiden, Rosa, sitting at the counter of her father's gelateria. Sidelnik strolled in and begged the owner, Don Giuseppe, for a job. The old gelato-maker agreed. Sidelnik worked hard, learning the art of churning deliciously creamy confections in all sorts of flavors, while secretly yearning for the lovely Rosa ... until she ran off with some scoundrel named Bruno! Years later, in 1993 to be exact, Sidelnick came to Miami, where he opened the first Coco Gelato inside the CocoWalk mall. Everyone fell for Sidelnik's gelato. In addition to traditional flavors, he produced magnificent new ones that reflect Miami's Latin American and Caribbean influences. On the menu you will find tamarindo and guava right alongside bubblegum and dark mousse. (A small two scoops sells for $5.25.) Sidelnik has expanded his operations to include Miami International Airport, Bayside Marketplace, and South Beach. All four locations are open seven days a week from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., except for the Washington Avenue location, which closes at midnight.

Meanwhile, Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., President of the Center for Security Policy, investigative reporter Cliff Kincaid, and a dozen conservative organizations have begun a campaign to educate Americans about LOST. Many state legislators also are lobbying their U.S. Senators. Conservative organizations believe that if their supporters understand the substance of the Treaty they will revolt, as they did with the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007.
The Establishment consistently has sought to pass legislation through the Congress when the American people are unaware. The Senate Majority Leader has the capacity to do so. The Senate Minority Leader has the capacity to slow legislation. It remains to be seen how LOST will be handled once on the Senate Calendar. That largely will be determined by the strength of the opposition in the Foreign Relations Committee. It also depends upon whether there are hearings before other committees.
The key to defeating the Treaty is to secure 34 votes against it. Years ago the Majority Leader could withdraw a Treaty upon seeing the signatures of 34 Senators. That Leader was a Democrat and we had to obtain the signatures of Senators from both parties.
That will be the key to ensuring that this Treaty is not ratified. The Bush Administration does not want an international embarrassment. So if the conservative movement and other realists are able to produce the signatures of a third of the Senate, you will hear nothing of it but the Treaty will be pulled quietly from the Senate Calendar.
A clear minority presently is against the Treaty. Most Senators have not heard much about it nor focused upon it. One reason the Treaty was not considered during Frist's four-year tenure was that the Senators elected in 2000, 2002 and 2004 also had not focused upon it. So, while Frist kept his word that the Treaty would not come up for consideration, many Senators never learned of the loss of sovereignty that the Treaty would create nor of the taxing authority of the proposed ISA. Considering which nations have ratified the Treaty, it is likely that several avowed enemies of the United States would sit on the ISA.
Should Americans place their future in the hands of their enemies? This is the main concern. I must believe that there are 34 Senators who would oppose the Treaty once they fully learned about it. So the effort has begun. Conservatives are now in the process of educating their Senators. Some Senators refuse to change their minds about LOST.
Will LOST be defeated? The odds are slightly against its defeat. Currently, four leading Republican Senators—Minority Leader A. Mitchell (Mitch) McConnell, Jr. (R-KY), Trent Lott (R-MS), Jon L. Kyl (R-AZ) and Inhofe—oppose LOST. It is too early to give up. These Senators are tireless workers who never give up, so why should we?

Bevy of details emerge for upcoming Sony Xperia tablet
A handful of newly leaked slides have landed online, revealing plenty of details about an upcoming Sony Xperia tablet. Likely the successor to the Tablet S, this model will feature a 9.4-inch (1280×800) display, an NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, 8.0-megapixel rear-facing camera, 1.0-megapixel front-facing camera, and 6000 mAh battery.
Running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, additional details tell us the tablet will come with a trio of storage capacity options: 16GB ($449), 32GB ($549), or 64GB ($649). The design is reminiscent of the "folded back magazine" look of the Tablet S with the aluminum splash-proof device weighing only 570g. Also worth pointing out, the new model is 42% thinner than its predecessor. The slides show a number of accessories are being prepped for the Xperia tablet, including a charging cradle, docking stand, cover with keyboard, and carrying case.
One of the slides indicate that Sony has designed some sort of "Guest Mode" for multiple users which would work well for those of us with kids. We've been waiting for tablets to feature this option as they tend to get passed around from user to user. This would provide peace of mind to folks who like to keep apps/pictures/videos/emails private.
Considering just how much information is already known about the Xperia Tablet, it would make sense that an announcement is in short order. Perhaps we'll get something in time for back-to-school season?
Additional information and slides can be found on Xperia blog.

SunEdison, Inc. is a global renewable energy company headquartered in the U.S. In addition to developing, building, owning, and operating solar power plants and wind energy plants, it also manufactures high purity polysilicon, monocrystalline silicon ingots, silicon wafers, solar modules, solar energy systems, and solar module racking systems. Originally a silicon-wafer manufacturer established in 1959 as the Monsanto Electronic Materials Company, a former business unit of Monsanto Company, SunEdison's corporate headquarters are in Maryland Heights, Missouri, and the company's operational and solar headquarters are in Belmont, California with offices throughout the world. Monsanto sold the company in 1989. Prior to May 30, 2013, the company was known as MEMC Electronic Materials; the name change to SunEdison reflects the company's focus on solar energy.[2]
Established in the early stages of the semiconductor electronics industry in 1959, MEMC was for the next half century a major and pioneering manufacturer of silicon wafers, the most basic element of semiconductor-chip manufacturing. The company entered the solar market in a big way beginning in 2006, with longterm contracts to manufacture and sell solar wafers to several large Asian solar-energy companies. Contracts with other solar-energy companies followed, as did joint-venture projects on solar power plants. With the acquisition of the large, successful, and pioneering solar-energy systems company SunEdison LLC in late 2009 and the smaller solar-power companies Axio and Fotowatio in 2011, MEMC focused increasingly on the burgeoning solar-energy industry to offset the cyclical downturns in the semiconductor market. The company now develops, finances, and maintains solar power systems and plants for a widespread commercial, public-sector, and power-plant customer base, and its name change in 2013 to SunEdison, Inc. reflects its main focus. It is one of the leading solar-power companies worldwide, and with its acquisition of wind-energy company First Wind in 2014, SunEdison is the leading renewable energy development company in the world.[3] SunEdison's subsidiaries TerraForm Power and TerraForm Global own and operate renewable-energy projects around the globe.[4]
In 2015, SunEdison sold off its subsidiary SunEdison Semiconductor, which manufactures silicon wafers for the electronics industry. The divestiture marked the completion of SunEdison, Inc.'s transition from a semiconductor-wafer company to a dedicated renewable-energy corporation.
The establishment of Monsanto Electronic Materials Company (MEMC), a silicon wafer–manufacturing division to serve the emerging electronics industry, was announced on August 6, 1959, as an arm of the U.S.-based multinational corporation Monsanto.[5] In February 1960 MEMC started production of 19mm silicon ingots at its location in St. Peters, Missouri, 30 miles west of Monsanto's headquarters in St. Louis.[6] As one of the first companies to produce semiconductor wafers, MEMC was a pioneer in the field, and some of its innovations became industry standards into the 21st century.[7] MEMC used the Czochralski process (CZ process) of silicon crystal production,[8] and developed the Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process of wafer finishing.[7][9][10] In 1966 MEMC installed its first reactors for the production of epitaxial wafers,[11][12] and developed zero-dislocation crystal growing, which made large-diameter silicon crystals possible.[13][7]
In the early 1970s, MEMC opened a production plant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and sent its St. Peters–produced 2.25-inch ingots there for slicing and polishing.[14][7] In 1979, MEMC became the first company to manufacture 125mm (5-inch) wafers; in 1981 the first to produce 150mm (6-inch) wafers; and, in partnership with IBM, in 1984 the first to produce 200mm (8-inch) wafers.[12][15][16][17] In 1986 MEMC opened its production and R&D facility in Utsunomiya, Japan, to serve the Japanese semiconductor market, becoming the first non-Japanese wafer maker with manufacturing and research facilities in Japan.[18][19]
Change of ownership[edit]
MEMC experienced heavy price-pressure from Japanese competition during the mid 1980s.[7] Despite its success and increasing revenues, MEMC had to account for losses for a few years, leading to the decision of Monsanto, which was refocusing on chemicals, agriculture, and biotechnology products, to sell the electronic materials division.[7][20][21] In 1989 the German company Hüls AG, the chemicals arm of the German conglomerate VEBA, acquired Monsanto Electronic Materials and combined it with Hüls' previous acquisition Dynamite Nobel Silicon (DNS) to form MEMC Electronic Materials.[22][7][23][24] DNS already operated silicon wafer plants in Merano and Novara, Italy and integrated them within the new MEMC Electronic Materials.[25] Hüls supported the new subsidiary with $50 million, for research and development and for manufacturing expansion.[7][26] In 1991 MEMC developed the first process using granular polysilicon, which provided cost and productivity advantages over "chunk" polysilicon.[7][27] Four years later MEMC acquired Albemarle Corporation's granular polysilicon production facility in Pasadena, Texas, which had been producing granular polysilicon since 1987.[7][28]
MEMC's stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange with an initial public offering in 1995.[7][12] The IPO raised over $400 million, which went to finance an aggressive growth plan and repay some of the debt to its parent company, and Hüls/VEBA retained a majority interest in the company.[7][29][24]
The cyclical downturn in the semiconductor business in the late 1990s hit MEMC hard.[7][24][30] In 1998 the company reported a loss of $316 million on revenues of $759 million.[7] In June 2000 VEBA AG, still holding 72% of MEMC, was merged with VIAG to form the new E.ON AG.[31][7] E.ON wanted to focus on its core business of electric utilities, and assigned Merrill Lynch to sell MEMC.[32][31][7] Merrill was unable to find a buyer until MEMC announced that it was on the verge of illiquidity in the middle of 2001.[33] Finally in October 2001 E.ON was able to agree on a deal with the private equity company Texas Pacific Group (TPG), which purchased E.ON's stake in MEMC for a symbolic dollar and offered MEMC $150 million in credit lines.[32][33][34][35] TPG restructured MEMC's debt, increased its stake in the company to 90%, and cut one third of its workforce.[36][37][7]
MEMC returned to profitability following the appointment of Nabeel Gareeb, who was CEO of MEMC from April 2002 to November 2008.[36][7][38][39] MEMC's market share rose again and by 2003 it reported positive earning figures.[40][36] MEMC's sales topped $1 billion in 2004, and it was number three in market share.[7][41] Through a secondary offering, TPG reduced its share of MEMC in 2005 to 34%, and by the end of 2007, to zero.[41][36]
Solar market entry[edit]
In 2006 MEMC announced its large-scale entry into the burgeoning solar wafer market, via longterm agreements to supply China-based Suntech Power and Taiwan-based Gintech Energy with solar-grade silicon wafers.[42][43][44] Similar contracts followed with Germany-based Conergy in 2007,[36] and Taiwan-based Tainergy Tech in 2008.[45] The company cultivated short-term solar wafer customers as well.[36][46] By 2007, MEMC held approximately 14% of the solar wafer market.[16] Having returned MEMC to a foundation of profitability and having helped it enter the solar market, CEO Nabeel Gareeb resigned in November 2008.[47][38] Ahmad Chatila was appointed President and CEO in February 2009.[48]
In July 2009 MEMC and Q-Cells, which specialized in construction and operation of photovoltaic plants, formed a joint venture to build Strasskirchen Solar Park, a 50 MW photovoltaic plant in Bavaria, Germany, with MEMC supplying the solar wafers and Q-Cells converting them into solar cells.[49][50] Both partners invested $100 million each, in return for a 50%-each ownership of the project.[49] As planned, the plant was sold to an investment firm, Nordcapital, after operations started at the beginning of 2010.[51]
Acquisition of SunEdison[edit]
In November 2009 MEMC acquired the privately owned company SunEdison LLC, North America's largest solar energy services provider.[52] Founded by Jigar Shah,[53] SunEdison had been developing, financing, building, operating, and monitoring large-scale photovoltaic plants for commercial customers, including many national retail outlets, government agencies, and utilities, since 2003.[54][55][56] The company had pioneered solar-as-a-service, and the solar power purchase agreement (PPA) for no-money-down customer financing.[57][53][58] With the acquisition of SunEdison, MEMC became a developer of solar power projects and North America's largest solar energy services provider.[59] CEO Ahmad Chatila announced that "MEMC will now participate in the actual development of solar power plants and commercialization of clean energy, in addition to supplying the solar and semiconductor industries with our traditional silicon wafer products."[60] SunEdison was purchased for $200 million, 70% in cash and 30% in MEMC stock, plus retention payments, transaction expenses, and the assumption of net debt.[59][52][61]
Following its acquisition of SunEdison, MEMC also began to focus on developing and acquiring advanced technologies used in the production of low-cost, high-performance solar panels. It acquired the California-based solar tech company Solaicx in mid 2010.[62] The acquisition included Solaicx's high-volume proprietary "continuous crystal growth" manufacturing technology, which produces low-cost monocrystalline silicon ingots for high-efficiency solar cells.[63][64][65][66]
In February 2011 Samsung Fine Chemicals and MEMC announced a 50/50 joint venture to build a polysilicon production plant in Ulsan, South Korea.[67] The plant was to have an initial capacity of 10,000 metric tons per annum.[67] As of late 2014 the joint venture, called SMP, is 85% owned by SunEdison (50% by SunEdison, Inc. and 35% by SunEdison Semiconductor)[68] and 15% by Samsung, and the plant has a capacity of 13,500 metric tons per annum.[69][70][71] By October 2014, the plant began producing the world's first high-pressure fluidized bed reactor (HP-FBR) polysilicon, enabling sizeable reductions in the cost of solar energy.[72][73][74]
In 2011 MEMC also extended its solar-energy business. In June 2011, it acquired another North American solar-power project developer, Axio Power.[75][76][77] Axio Power, founded in 2007, developed, financed, and constructed large-scale solar projects, and had more than 500 MW of utility-scale photovoltaic power projects in Canada and the western U.S.[75][76] In July 2011, MEMC established a joint venture with Korea-based Jusung Engineering, to combine its proprietary Solaicx CCZ monocrystalline wafers with Jusung's high-efficiency cell manufacturing equipment to provide low-cost, high-efficiency solar cells.[78] In September 2011, MEMC acquired Fotowatio Renewable Ventures Inc., the U.S. unit of Fotowatio Renewable Ventures, a developer, operator and owner of solar power plants.[79][80] The FRV purchase added up to 1.4 GW of solar projects in the U.S. to MEMC's portfolio.[81]
In December 2011 MEMC undertook restructuring measures in reaction to a cyclical downturn in its semiconductor business and a slump in the whole supply chain of photovoltaic modules. The company announced a headcount reduction of 1,300 employees (18% of the workforce), plus capacity reduction and productivity increase for polysilicon and wafers.[82][83]
In 2012 MEMC developed its Silvantis line of multi-crystalline 290-watt solar modules. With 1,000-volt UL certification, the modules created considerable overall energy-production and systems savings on solar projects due to the ability to be more efficiently wired.[84]
Name change[edit]
On May 30, 2013, MEMC Electronic Materials changed its name to SunEdison, Inc., and also changed its stock-market ticker from "WFR" to "SUNE", reflecting the company's focus on solar energy.[2][85] President and CEO Ahmad Chatila announced, "We strongly believe the SunEdison name provides us with broader marketplace appeal and scalability .... We are committed to growing both the semiconductor and solar power businesses, and look forward to building on our strong legacies, now under the SunEdison name."[2]
In May 2014, SunEdison formally separated its electronics-wafer business from its solar-wafer and solar-energy business. SunEdison Semiconductor, Ltd. spun off in an IPO on the NASDAQ under the ticker "SEMI", with SunEdison, Inc. maintaining a majority stake as the largest shareholder.[86] The IPO generated $94 million, used to fund the company's growth.[87]
In July 2014, SunEdison created a yieldco subsidiary, called TerraForm Power, Inc., with SunEdison, Inc. maintaining a majority stake as the largest shareholder.[88][89] TerraForm began publicly trading in an IPO under the ticker "TERP".[90][91][92] This IPO of the power-generation subsidiary spin-off raised roughly $500 million.[87] SunEdison launched a second yieldco subsidiary, TerraForm Global, in 2015, to manage renewable-energy projects in emerging markets like Brazil, China, and India.[93][94] This second yieldco trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker "GLBL".[94]
In October 2014 SunEdison announced the development of "zero white space" solar modules, which eliminate wasted space on the solar module surface.[95] That month it also announced the implementation of "high-pressure fluidized bed reactor" (HP-FBR) technology, producing high-purity polysilicon up to 10 times more efficiently and with 90% less energy used than non-FBR technologies.[96]
In November 2014, with its subsidiary TerraForm Power, SunEdison purchased First Wind, one of the largest wind power developers in the United States, for $2.4 billion.[97][3][98] The acquisition added wind energy to SunEdison's capacity, and made it the leading renewable energy development company in the world.[3][99]
In 2015, MIT Technology Review named SunEdison #6, and the top energy company, in its annual "50 Smartest Companies" list. The review characterized SunEdison as "Aggressively expanding its renewable energy products and building a business to provide electricity to the developing world."[100]
In June 2015, SunEdison, Inc. announced its full divestiture from its semiconductor business, the publicly traded company SunEdison Semiconductor.[101] The completion of the sell-off finalized SunEdison's transition into a dedicated renewable-energy company.[102][103]

by Stayt from Arizona, AZ |
To start off, I drove off the lot and noticed two chips out of the window. They were hiding underneath the beautifully written price. Then two days later the check engine light goes off. Thank goodness for the AZ Lemon law. However, I went back and 2 miles away the light went off again. The dealer fixed the second problem. I was told they were going to top off my gas tank, well they didn't. Thanks for that top of the line car. The dealer did handle the situation well. All the cars in the show room were extraordinary and the people were very nice. Trust your sales guy not the owner.

Loya Jirga Head Rejects Karzai Demand to Delay U.S. Pact Signing
Afghan President Hamid Karzai's demand to delay the signing of a security pact with the U.S. until after April's presidential vote is unacceptable and will harm the country, the head of a council of tribal elders said.
Karzai has "no right" to delay the signing of the accord that would pave the way for an American presence in Afghanistan beyond 2014, Sibghatullah Mojaddedi, chairman of the loya jirga council called by the president, said yesterday.
"Every demand of Mr. Karzai and ours have been practiced and accepted by them," Mojaddedi told reporters in front of the council's compound in Kabul.
President Barack Obama's spokesman, Jay Carney, on Nov. 22 said the U.S. government needs the Bilateral Security Agreement with Afghanistan done by the end of the year, calling action "imperative" and the U.S. offer "final." His comments followed those of Karzai spokesman Aimal Faizi, who repeated the Afghan president's stance that the accord shouldn't be signed until after the country's April presidential election.
Karzai, who has pressed for a bar on American forces entering Afghan homes, publicly raised another obstacle yesterday, charging on his website that U.S. troops killed civilians during a raid on an Afghan residence.
Officials of the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force yesterday said the Nov. 19 operation in Nangarhar province in which two Afghan brothers were killed was a joint U.S.-Afghan mission, not one of the American special operations forces' "night raids" the Afghan president has criticized frequently.
Recommendation Today
The loya jirga, a gathering of more than 2,500 Afghan tribal elders, political leaders and intellectuals, is due to make its recommendation later today on the agreement that would let some U.S. forces remain in the country after 2014 to train the Afghan National Security Forces and conduct counterterrorism operations.
After that, the agreement would have to be signed by both countries before it's ratified by Afghanistan's parliament and signed into law by Karzai, according to two U.S. officials who briefed reporters Nov. 21 on condition of not being identified discussing the process.
Karzai's public show of toughness is a throwback to his stance ahead of a 2011 loya jirga to consider the U.S.-Afghan Strategic Partnership Agreement, said Jawid Kohistani, a Kabul-based political and security analyst. The legally binding agreement was signed in 2012.
The president's speech ahead of the council that year was similarly combative, Kohistani said. Karzai then backed down and signed after that loya jirga gave him "political cover."
"It will be interesting to see if he now allows himself to be persuaded by the council and moderates his tone, as he did then."

Alan Pardew has signaled his Newcastle side's intention to "attack" the Europa League as the knockout stage begins this week - despite their ongoing domestic relegation battle.
Toon boss Pardew has vowed to choose his strongest possible team for Thursday's last-32 home leg against Metalist Kharkiv, because he now has a squad capable of coping with injuries.
Pardew has had a poor record in knock-out ties since taking charge of the Geordies, but reckons his line-up against the Ukranians will be his best yet.
Earlier in the season, Pardew conceded he was embarrassed by the strength of the squad at his disposal for European and domestic Cup games as he fretted about injuries, fatigue and trying to bring through some youngsters.
But following the arrival in January of five new players at a combined cost of £17million, Pardew is feeling bold enough to try to go all the way in Europe while balancing the twin pressure of keeping the Magpies in the Premier League.
One hitch is that Pardew was only allowed to name either Mathieu Debuchy or Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa in his Euro squad (clubs are only allowed to field one new player who has previously played in the Champions League).
Mbiwa got the nod because of his versatility across the back four.
In addition to Debuchy, fellow newcomer Yoan Gouffran is also cup-tied.
Pardew said: "We want to attack this competition. The team will be the strongest it can be.
"The two wins recently in the league has given us a bit of breathing space.
"We got there in the end by signing in January which has given us a platform and a squad which is so much bigger, whereas before we didn't have that luxury. We can enter this competition with a strong hand.
"If you think I took my eye off the competition before Christmas, I didn't. I was just trying to get through the group and make sure we had the strongest team for the league because we had such injury problems.
"I am sure we could have won the group but for that.
"I've been bit unfortunate with injuries in cups, but not this time."
Metalist won a group containing Germany's Bayer Leverkusen by winning four games and drawing one. However, they are two months into a winter break and searching for full fitness.
Newcastle watched them play a friendly against non-League Whitley Bay on Sunday and were impressed by the South American contingent who will make up the bulk of their starting XI.
Pardew wants the St James' Park crowd to show patience on Thursday, because the tempo of the European game is slower than the Premier League's - he is also wary of their counter attacking prowess.
Yanga-Mbiwa will make his first start since he arrived from Montpellier, probably at right-back in Debuchy's absence.
"There a renewed vigour in the squad with the new players and today was one of the coldest days in the North East I have experienced and it got everyone a bit lively in training," Pardew added on Wednesday.
"We are going up a level in opposition - Metalist are bit stronger than Bordeaux [who topped Newcastle's group-phase pool] and this is a huge test for us.
"Ten South American players start, that's the team we envisage - real high technical quality and real high quality players. We need to be focused. Any slip of concentration, like at Tottenham [in Saturday's defeat] will be costly.
"There is no reason we can't gain European football next year - that is how confident we feel about the group. It is about making sure our end of season is very strong."
Keeper Tim Krul made his Newcastle first team debut in the UEFA Cup - the Europa League's predecessor - as a teenager in November 2006, and feels European nights are "special".
"The league is our main aim - it is normal - but Europa League is exciting to be in and it will be great for Newcastle to be in there a long time," he said.
"The new signings are settling in quickly. It was massive boost for everybody to get players of such quality. It is nice to see new faces and it is easier for them with a few French lads here.
"It is a massive game, first the home leg, and we have to be on top of our game straight away.
"Juventus won 3-0 at Celtic [in the first eg of a Champions League last16 tie on Tuesday] and it looks like game over, so we have to be at the races."

Just a wee taste of the fun in store this Saturday afternoon and evening at The Best of the Fest Encore Show featuring your NOW Audience Choice Award Winners Vancouver's Peter n' Chris. Thanks NOW Magazine!
The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival (TOsketchfest) is back and showing off the best comedy troupes from the 2014 Festival with the Best of the Fest Encore Shows, including a family matinée show – a TOsketchfest first.
The Best of the Fest Encore Shows will spotlight three award-winning troupes from TOsketchfest 2014, Bri-Ko, Peter n' Chris and The Templeton Philharmonic, on Saturday, June 21 at Randolph Theatre.
Bri-Ko were chosen as the 2014 Second City Best of the Fest Award winners. This Chicago-based troupe impressed the jury with their non-verbal comedy, audience participation and groundbreaking use of costumes, props and visual cues.
Throughout the festival, audiences voted for their favourite troupes in order to determine the NOW Magazine Audience Choice Award winner. For the second time Peter n' Chris emerged victorious as the fan favourites, winning previously in 2011. Demand for Peter n' Chris was so high throughout the 2014 Festival, TOsketchfest was forced to add a third slot by the troupe.

His anti-car crusade continues over the next three Saturdays (August 9, 16, and 23), when seven miles of asphalt between the Brooklyn Bridge and 72nd Street will be closed to traffic from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. (maps are at nyc.gov/summerstreets). The route passes right by BLT Supplies (77 Mulberry St., nr. Bayard St.; 212-732-8388), where you can pick up these lightweight Feiyue sneakers for $16 and break them in on your way uptown.

Oklahoma bill mirroring Arizona proposition allowing for refusal of service to gays to be redrafted
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- An Oklahoma bill that would allow business owners with strongly held religious beliefs to refuse service to gays will be rewritten and likely won't be considered in its current form this legislative session, the measure's House author said Tuesday.
The bill, which is similar to one that has set off a political firestorm in Arizona and some being considered in other states, would have provided legal immunity to anyone who refuses services to gays and lesbians based on the person's "sincerely held religious belief."
"We're still in favor of running a bill like that, but we're just trying to get the language tightened up to prevent there from being any fiascos like there have been elsewhere," said Rep. Tom Newell, R-Seminole.
Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer is facing intensifying pressure from CEOs, politicians in Washington, D.C., and state lawmakers in her own party to veto a similar bill in that state. Critics denounce the measure as blatantly discriminatory and embarrassing to Arizona.
"We are committed to trying to find, which will have to be next session now, a bill that we can protect freedom of conscience for private business owners," Newell said.
Scott Hamilton, the director of the gay rights group Cimarron Alliance, called Newell's proposal a "disappointing step backward for the state."
"It sends a very loud message to any employer that's looking to expand into Oklahoma that if they're concerned at all about their employees, it would be better to look elsewhere," Hamilton said.
Newell, a pastor, said the language in the bill will be replaced this year with a proposed new law protecting religious student associations on public university campuses from discrimination.
"I realize it's a tricky thing, but I do think it's something we need to look at, and people shouldn't be forced to serve someone if it violates their religious conscience," Newell said.
