LOS ANGELES (AP) - He's not milking his fame, but Ryan Gosling is lending his name to the cause of cows.
The 32-year-old actor sent a letter this week to the National Milk Producers Federation urging the group to advocate against the industry practice of removing calves' horns. He asks that they help stop what he calls a "barbaric practice" by requiring farmers to breed naturally hornless cattle.
The letter was released Wednesday by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Gosling has worked with the group before in its campaign urging KFC to adopt more humane methods of slaughtering chickens.
A spokesman from the National Milk Producers Federation said Wednesday that cows' horns are dangerous and de-horning reduces injuries to both cows and people.

Doug Skinner cuts through the misunderstanding, mystification, lies, and wishful thinking about the Count – and those who impersonated him over the centuries – to present a portrait of this enigmatic and long-lived romantic hero.
The 18th century abounded in romantic riddles – the Man in the Iron Mask, Cagliostro, the Lost Dauphin… but there's something uniquely engaging about the Count of St-Germain, who stepped from nowhere with no past and no name to dazzle the French court. He pops up from time to time across Europe, only to vanish, leaving extravagant rumours in his wake: he was immortal; owned the elixir of life; was a Rosicrucian; a spy; an incognito king. I have no urge to burst this bubble. I couldn't if I tried; the many mysteries about the Count will never be solved. It is possible, though, to winnow some fictions from the facts, and trace their development. The legend has had a life of its own, and it's quite a story.
We should begin, though, with what we know about the "real" St-Germain. 1 Our first glimpse of him is in London, in 1745, in a letter from Horace Walpole to Horace Mann. Although it's frequently cited, I've never seen it quoted in full:
"The Provost of Edinborough is in custody of a messenger, and t'other day they seized an odd man, who goes by the name of Comte St-Germain. He has been here these two years, will not tell who he is or whence, but professes two very wonderful things, the first that he does not go by his right name; and the second that he never had any dealings, or desire to have any dealings with any woman – nay, nor with any succedaneum. He sings, plays on the violin wonderfully, composes, is mad, and not very sensible. He is called an Italian, a Spaniard, a Pole, a somebody that married a great fortune in Mexico, and ran away with her jewels to Constantinople, a priest, a fiddler, a vast nobleman. The Prince of Wales has had unsatiated curiosity about him, but in vain. However, nothing has been made out against him, he is released; and what convinces me that he is not a gentleman, stays here, and talks of his being taken up for a spy." 2
Curiously, the Count's disdain for succedanea was censored by Walpole's editors until 1954. Maybe they didn't want to offend succedanea. There's much to say about this first swatch of gossip; I'll confine myself to pointing out that the Count is a burlesque figure here, but obviously much talked about. He must have made quite an impression.
The next year, some of his music is performed and published in London.3
After that, he disappears for 12 years until he turns up at Versailles, where he's introduced to the court by the Maréchal de Belle-Isle, and given quarters in the Chateau de Chambord. He claims to have wonderful fabric dyes to give to France. He stays in France only two years – 1758 to 1760 – but, again, makes himself conspicuous. He tours the salons, his equally mysterious valet, Roger, in tow. His table talk is witty, extravagant, and grounded in a prodigious knowledge of history. He never eats in public, casually dispenses diamonds, and hints that he's centuries old. He speaks many languages – all with a slight, indefinable accent – and excels on the violin and harpsichord. He advises the court belles on their diet, sometimes giving them a rejuvenating elixir.
The only known portrait of him dates from these years. It (left) shows a pleasant, somewhat chubby gentleman around 40. As is only appropriate, it's based on a lost painting by an unknown artist.
Louis XV and his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour, are enchanted by him; he soon joins their inner circle. The Minister of State, Choiseul, however, is alarmed to see a mystery man closeted with the King. Louis is, frankly, not the wisest or most conscientious of monarchs.
Louis sends the Count on a somewhat murky mission to Amsterdam – perhaps to raise money, perhaps to improve ties with England. Choiseul disapproves and orders the Count's arrest; St-Germain manages to escape to England. One interesting footnote to this fiasco is that Voltaire and Frederick the Great correspond about it. Frederick dismisses the Count as a joke ("un conte pour rire"); Voltaire calls him a man who knows everything and never dies – a squib often quoted by writers unfamiliar with Voltaire's irony. 4
The sojourn at Versailles, then, ends not with a bang but a muddle, leaving plenty of unanswered questions. For one, we don't know what happened to the dye works. St-Germain then passes through Holland and into Russia. Coincidentally, he's in St Petersburg during the coup that put Catherine the Great on the throne.
He turns up next year in Belgium, buys land, and assumes the name of Surmont. He again tries to interest the state in his processes, which now include treatments of wood, leather, oil, and paint. The negotiations fizzle out, but not without some useful fallout for us. One of the Belgian ministers, Karl Cobenzl, leaves notes of his meeting, giving us a first hand look at the Count. He reports that St-Germain revealed his illustrious birth (which Cobenzl refuses to divulge) and turned iron into a pretty yellow substance. So two rumours – royal blood and alchemy – can be traced to the Wundermann himself. Unless, of course, Cobenzl is lying. Fortunately, ministers never do.
After that, St-Germain disappears for 11 years… until 1774, when a gentleman named Freiherr Reinhard Gemmingen-Guttenberg meets the Count in Bavaria. The Freiherr describes him as an elderly, reclusive Italian occupied with dyes and charity. St-Germain has a new moniker – Count Tsarogy – and a Russian general's uniform. It's a charming picture, and would be nice to add to our store. Unfortunately, the Freiherr wrote it 37 years later, so we're at the mercy of his memory cells.
Two years later, St-Germain is in Germany, calling himself Count Welldone, and again offering recipes to the state. He's added new ones – cosmetics, wines, liqueurs, treatments for bone, paper, and ivory. I should stress that these processes seem to be legitimate. So it's puzzling that he also claims to transmute metals, and alienates Frederick's emissaries by boasting of his travels and comparing himself to God.
There's another curious nugget from these parlays. Frederick wants to know if the Count is a Freemason; St-Germain confesses he was once and got as far as the fourth degree, but has forgotten the signs. German Masons have good reason to mistrust wonder-workers at this time. Just two years before, a certain Johan Georg Schrepfer appeared in Leipzig, claiming occult powers and royal blood. He swindled several trusting souls with a scheme to merge Freemasonry and the Society of Jesus; then, promising a miracle, shot himself. St-Germain is rumoured to be his pupil.
So, our Count has no takers; but he soon makes another interesting acquaintance – Prince Karl of Hesse-Kassel, Governor of Schleswig-Holstein and ardent Mason and occultist. St-Germain informs his new friend that he will be a permanent houseguest. Karl is reluctant, but finally agrees, and the two settle in Schleswig, where they study chemistry and distribute herbal remedies to the poor. Karl calls him "the greatest philosopher who ever lived," and nicknames him "Papa".
After five years, the Count catches pneumonia from his draughty lab. He dies on 27 February 1784. Karl is away at a Masonic conclave, but the death is witnessed by his doctor.
St-Germain's estate is catalogued minutely – a few clothes, weapons and toilet articles, a little money. He leaves no unpaid bills, no sheet music or instruments, no manuscripts. He promised Karl a note to be opened at his death but that was never found. That, in brief, is what we know about the Count of St-Germain. Arthur Edward Waite said about him: "The inventions are much more interesting than the plain facts, and I should be very glad if there were evidence of their truth." 5
The plain facts, though, are satisfyingly odd. The Count was wealthy, with no visible means of support. He concealed his real name and origin. He was celibate, ascetic, travelled constantly, and dropped out of sight for years at a time. He was called a charlatan, but his reputation was spotless. On the face of it, he seems to have been a wealthy eccentric with a taste for mystification, music… and fabric dyes.
The puzzle is missing some pieces and countless myths sprang up to fill those gaps. As Waite said, the inventions are indeed interesting. They form an increasingly bizarre side-show to the Count's career. As we saw,
stories were already afoot, early on, in London. The mischief really began, though, when the Count reached France.
First of all, a mime and English dialect comedian known as Milord Gower started impersonating St-Germain in Paris salons. His stories were wilder than the real Count's – he had advised Jesus, for example. Inevitably, hearsay of his routine got confused with the original. He was said to be supported by jealous courtiers – possibly even Choiseul. Gower's real name is given as Guave, Gauve, Gor, and Quoys; I've also found it spelled 'Gaure' in a poem by Claude Rulhière. 6
Casanova, of all people, also imitated St-Germain, during a trip to Switzerland in 1760. To further muddy matters, Casanova's memoirs contain a description of the Count that has sown confusion for centuries – a long beard, an Armenian robe, and an ivory wand. These picturesque details, however, were added by Casanova's editor, Jules Laforgue and weren't corrected until the original text was published in 1960. 7
The Armenian robe is a curious touch, since that was Jean-Jacques Rousseau's favourite outfit. The confusion is understandable; Rousseau himself adopted some of St-Germain's mannerisms on his trip to England. As Rousseau buffs know, he also befriended a certain Claude Anglancier de St-Germain late in life. This St-Germain was treated to long paranoid letters, coincidentally revolving around Choiseul. Rousseau's biographers have, on occasion, referred to Claude as the Count of St-Germain.
There were, in fact, several more St-Germains to gum up the works. The most prominent was Count Claude-Louis de St-Germain, a French general who also served in Prussia and Denmark. Also notable were Pierre-Renault de St-Germain, French governor of Calcutta in the 1750s, and Robert-François Quesnay de St-Germain, active in several secret societies. Stories of the Count in India and at Masonic meetings can probably be traced to them.
The many speculations on the Count's origin also fuelled his legend. He was the son of a Russian merchant, or a Portuguese Jew, or the bastard of Queen Anna Maria of Spain. Casanova thought he was a violinist named Catalini. He was identified with a Signor Gualdi who perplexed Vienna in 1687, and with an Odard mixed up in the coup of Catherine the Great.
Another enigmatic count began baffling Europe in the 1770s. Like St-Germain, Cagliostro was rumoured to be immortal, to possess the elixir of life and to be the Wandering Jew. Some even identified him as St-Germain's valet, the roguish Roger. 8 The most persistent rumour, though, was that St-Germain was his mentor. A 'memoir' of Cagliostro – actually a hoax by Jean-Pierre-Louis de Luchet – even described the eerie initiation in a roccoco grotto.
Other dubious memoirs followed. In the fanciful accounts of Franz Graffer, Maximillian von Lamberg, and A V d'Elbe, the Count charms snakes, reads minds, writes with both hands, plays whole string quartets on one violin, and then vanishes. He even becomes a ventriloquist – no doubt a confusion with a performer from St-Germain-en-Laye.
The purported Souvenirs of the Countess of Adhémar, though, did the most damage. Our ever-youthful hero materialises from time to time to prophesy and to warn Marie Antoinette about the Revolution. We can thank Etienne de Lamothe-Langon for this confection; he also gave us a novel about a love affair between St-Germain and Madame Pompadour.
Reports of St-Germain's death were blithely disregarded. The occultist Alliette – also known as Etteilla – announced that there were two Counts, and the real one was still alive. St-Germain was sighted in Paris in 1835, and in Egypt during Napoleon's campaign. Napoleon III kept a dossier on him, which, I'm sorry to say, was lost in a fire. It was probably very
As you might expect, occultists seized on the story. Several books on palmistry and astrology bore his name. Arch-Theosophist Helena Blavatsky identified the Count as one of the 'Masters of Wisdom' who guided her, and hinted she had secret documents pertaining to him. In fact, what she had was a copy of the Adhémar Souvenirs, which she loaned to Isabel Cooper-Oakley, one of the Count's first biographers. The then Countess of Adhémar, also a Theosophist, vouched for her ancestor, so Lamothe-Langon's fantasies reached a wider audience than they deserved. 9
Another Theosophist, C W Leadbeater, met a bearded and uniformed St-Germain in Rome in 1926. In 1923, Aleister Crowley had jotted an idea in his diary: "Shall I 'become' Comte de St Germain with a wig & beard – and start a New Legend?" 10 I'm afraid this is just coincidence. By then, some Theosophists were saying St-Germain was the incarnation of the goddess Venus. From there, it was a short jump to Guy Ballard, who claimed the Count actually introduced him to visitors from Venus. In his book, Ballard revealed a 1930 encounter with St-Germain on Mt Shasta in California. The Count, always an entertaining host, pulled gold from the air, tamed a panther, and took Guy and his wife to a convention of Venusians in the Grand Tetons. 11
The Ballards formed a group called the I AM Foundation, which disseminated many channelled messages from the obliging Count. They also published a portrait quite unlike the historical one – featuring a dark, bearded, Christ-like figure. It was soon replaced with a blonder, more Californian version. There's one more link to this Venusian chain. UFO contactee George Adamski was familiar with Ballardiana, and his own 1952 meeting with a tourist from Venus may have been inspired by Guy's quality time with St-Germain. 12
Meanwhile, I AM begat the Church Universal and Triumphant led by Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet. The Church's biography of St-Germain now includes incarnations as an Atlantean priest, Merlin, both Bacons (Roger and Francis) and Columbus. He designed the American flag, helped write the Constitution and founded the Boy Scouts. He lives in a pink crystal cave in Wyoming, where he leads the fight against tobacco, alcohol, sugar, and dissonant music. 13 The Church distributes two portraits – Ascended Master St-Germain and Knight Commander St-Germain. Perhaps we're back to the two St-Germains of Alliette!
And why not make that three? Back in the Count's beloved France, the late Richard Chanfray bravely donned the mantle. After a troubled youth, including a suicide attempt and a bout of amnesia, Chanfray landed in prison for robbery. There, he had a series of dreams that convinced him he was the illustrious Count. On 28 January 1972, he made a memorable appearance on French television, changing lead into gold, discussing his experiments with giant insects, and revealing that Louis XV was still alive and living in the Midi. He went on to cut an LP and open an antique shop in Paris. One can hardly blame him for 'becoming' the Count; he certainly had more fun than he did as Richard Chanfray. 14
By now, we're far removed from the charismatic enigma who astonished Versailles in 1758. The Count's identity has blurred and multiplied, taking in imitators, other wanderers, other St-Germains. His many pseudonyms and rumoured origins have also clouded the picture. Anyone could be seen as St-Germain. And anyone could read what they wanted into him. Mostly what they wanted was romance and we've seen how tastes shifted from Rosicrucian to prophet to Hidden Master to Space Brother.
In fact, St-Germain was eventually porous enough to absorb almost any myth. A series of novels by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro even turns him into a vampire. After all, he was immortal, didn't eat, and drank the elixir of life. And, as we're about to see, he may have come from Transylvania.
Although we can't conclusively determine St-Germain's age and origin, we do have an answer from the Count himself. He told Prince Karl he was the son of Francis Rakoczy II, Prince of Transylvania, and gave his age as 88. If this were true, he would have been 67 at Versailles, when he was said to look 45, and Francis would have sired him at the tender age of 15. Neither is impossible. However, it's also possible the Count was deluded – like all those Anastasia candidates – or that Karl jumbled his facts. We just don't know but it's the closest we have to an answer.
We can, however, identify the elixir of life with some certainty. St-Germain made no secret of it: it was a tea of elder flowers, fennel, and senna pods, soaked in spirits of wine. I'm afraid it was a laxative – a potent one, in fact. Similar mixtures are still on the market. To approximate the Count's recipe, top it off with brandy. To your health!

The AppStorm team have been hard at work again. Here is a huge bunch of great free apps and web services they covered.
Get Notified Instantly with Boxcar
There is no doubt that the iPhone made push notifications cool and took that idea mainstream for Apple fans. But like most things Apple, at first push notifications weren't open to all third party apps at launch. When users were clamoring for a way to get notified of things as and when they happen, Boxcar jumped in and filled the void effectively.
Boxcar was an elegant solution and alerted users with instant push notifications for all your social networks, email accounts, RSS feeds and more. As Apple opened up push notifications to third party developers, the influence of Boxcar dropped down a bit, but with 1.2 billion messages delivered to date, it's an app with no match.
To make the lives of information junkies everywhere easy, Boxcar has released a beta version for Mac making it a breeze to receive super fast notifications when someone comments, updates or messages you. Join me after the break to check out if the app is as good as its iOS counterpart.

The Clipboard, Reinvented For The Web
Have you ever found it difficult to share stuff you find online? Sure, there's millions of social buttons across the 'net to like, 1+, Tweet, and do just about anything else you can think of with the pages you read. But what if you want to, say, share a part of a page on Amazon.com with a friend to show them the a price and a picture of the thing you're talking about? You could take a screenshot, but then you'll have to still share a link to the site, and the text won't be searchable. Or you could copy and paste the text, but then you'll lose the picture, formatting, and more.
Clipboard is a new beta web app that aims to reinvent copy/paste for the web. It's a surprisingly powerful tool that you can use to share anything you discover, embed stuff from any site on your pages, and save your favorite content safely.

LiveMinutes: A Better Way to Share and Meet Virtually
Webconferencing is one of the most vital, but less celebrated innovations of the broadband era. The technology in its full glory is mostly used in enterprises, and the mainstream population has become accustomed to basic video chat built into Skype, Gtalk, Google+, and even Facebook today. Yet, if you're looking for an enterprise solution, there are so many solutions to choose from, ranging from companies like Cisco and Microsoft to no-name startups.
Even with big names backing up their product, there hardly is a web conference that doesn't get interrupted. Either the bandwidth or the voice support fails its users, frustrating them to no end. Then there are issues with incompatible plugins and cluttered user interfaces. LiveMinutes claims to be a webconferencing app that isn't boring, and works to streamline your meetings.

While there are some questions you can answer yourself, sometimes you might need an outside opinion. There are a ton of tools available including OpenHallway, Usabilia, and Silverback that do the job and then some, but what if your needs are simpler?
BagelHint is a little app with which you can create easy usability surveys quickly. Developed by a compact UK-based team called EpicBagel, this service is great for designers and developers looking to get started with UX feedback and testing, with projects that need just pointers and not deep analytics. There's nothing to install and your results are displayed in real-time. All you need to use it are some screenshots and a few minutes of your time. Let's set up a trial account and see how we go, shall we?

How To Discover New Apps With Wakoopa
Can you imagine what a computer would be without any applications? It's a bit like imagining a car without wheels. You've got the basic shell, but without the wheels you can't really do anything. It's a bit like that with a computer and its applications. Yes, you can use the computer, but you can't really use it to its full potential.
No matter which operating system you run, there's usually an app out there for everything. I know the feeling that once you've bought a new computer (or especially if you are migrating across to another operating system), you'll want to get downloading as many applications as possible so you can get the best out of your computer. The question is, though, which ones do you download? Do you have to trawl through those endless "The Top 50…" lists to find a couple of applications you want to download?
How about a web app to help you find new apps for your favorite platform?

Pottermore Brings a Whole New Dimension to the World of Harry Potter
I have a confession to make; I am a huge Harry Potter fan. This may not be too surprising if you know I'm a pretty big nerd. What may be more surprising is I just got into it within the last two years, so I had some catching up to do. But once I read all of the books and saw all of the movies, I wanted more. I started reading interviews with JK Rowling and other websites and came to find that the Harry Potter World is a very well thought out and immersive one with endless depth to the characters. Fans (myself included) wanted a resource where we could tap into that world.
Pottermore gives us that.

Cohuman: Project Management Done Differently
When it comes to web-based task and project management apps, the Web is literally overflowing with them. You've got the choice between a huge range of different ones all designed to promote greater integration within businesses and generally help towards a more productive workflow. I recently looked at yaM and Podio, which both boast a wide range of features and are pretty impressive tools to help businesses collaborate.
The only problem with these kinds of project managers is that they tend to be geared towards high-end business users and tend to over-complicate themselves with features that are wasted on the average Joe such as your author here. I'm a techie, so the more complicated things are the better they will stand out with me but for most people, these advanced features can be a bit overwhelming. Think of startup companies, who don't want to blow their IT budget on one program and who want simple collaboration tools that lets everyone in the office know exactly what they are working on.
Enter cohuman. It is, like many others in its category, a web-based task management app but there's a spark of insight woven into the program that makes it easy to use yet still retaining some mighty features. Cohuman has recently being bought out by Mindjet, a company that develops visualisation solutions such as mind-mapping software for both Windows and Mac. You'd think that this is a marriage made in heaven, wouldn't you?
Well, let's take a look at cohuman to see whether this marriage is eternal, or if it is already on the rocks…

Engage Your Students Effectively with Socrative
Students and teachers have either the most simplistic or the most complex systems at their disposal when it comes learning online. Case in point: simplistic video conference solutions and elaborate Learning Management Systems. Given that the subject matter is already hard for many, trying and spending time to understanding a new tool that helps them learn is an extra burden.
They could use a solution that is somewhere in the middle. Socrative is a smart student response system that empowers teachers to engage their classrooms through a series of educational exercises and games via smartphones, laptops, and tablets. Like always, I'm gonna take it for a test drive, would you like to join me?

AirDropper: Kill FTP and Let Anyone Send Files to Your Dropbox
Cloud-based storage services have made sharing large files easier. In the past, most people had to copy files to Zip disks or burn documents to a DVD or save them to a flash drive. Alternatively, you can send your files via FTP, or attach it to an email message if it's small enough. These solutions are great, but the average Internet users might not understand FTP and most mail servers reject large files.
Dropbox has become the most popular cloud-based storage service for a number of reasons. We use it to store all sort of files and share folders with others, but not everyone use DropBox. That's where AirDropper comes in. It's a simple application that lets you request files using a special link that you can send by email, or a personalized web page. The recipient then hits that link to upload their file using the AirDropper website; the file will be saved in your Dropbox account. It's a great solution to an age-old problem of sending large files, so let's take a look and see if this will be a fit for your team's file sharing needs.
Zinio: Magazines In Your Pocket
The iPhone as we all know, is one of the best smartphones that is out on the market. One of the greatest things about it is its ability to be able to do more than just your standard calling, email, text, etc. Apps and the App Store brought the iPhone from good to absolutely great!
Zinio is one of those apps that contributed to this leap. It is a magazine subscription and reading app for both the iPad and the iPhone. As most people know, who own an iPhone and an iPad, it is definitely a much better reading experience on the iPad. But for the thousands out there that don't have both, the iPhone is a decent alternative, especially if you have an app like Zinio.

Houzz: The Ultimate Guide to Design
Whether you are renovating, buying a new home or just redecorating, it is not uncommon to spend dozens, if not hundreds of hours poring over shelter magazines, books, websites and blogs. Not only is interior/exterior design information and photos scattered (and oftentimes costly), it can be utterly overwhelming.
Houzz, which is touted as the "Wikipedia of interior and exterior design" by CNN, consolidates everything from finding home improvement professionals in your area to gathering inspiration into Ideabooks, all in just one app.

Threadless: Help Decide What Designs Are Out on the Streets
Have you ever given much thought to the designs that end up on a T-shirt? No, not the standard T-shirt that everyone and their dog owns but the unique designs that make you think, "Dang, why didn't I think of that?" If you have, then Threadless is going to be the app for you.
The app, which allows you to vote on designs submitted by the Threadless community, gives you the power to determine which designs get printed, as well as some of the power. You can also browse the online store, order something from the shop and have a bit of fun with the Doodle Pad and the Festasizer. I'll cover all these features plus some of the less exciting in-between bits after the jump.

Facebook for iPad: Finally
Many of us use Facebook for talking to friends, reconnecting with family, and doing our best to avoid stalking our ex's profile. Since the day the iPad was launched, Facebook users had three options: use the iPhone app in a horribly pixelated 2x view, visit the site with Safari, or download a third-party application. All were less than ideal, and many users have been clamoring for a native iPad app for some time.

Jamie's Recipes: Anyone Can Cook!
I have long been a fan of Jamie Oliver. There's something inimitable about his cookery style that gives him fantastically widespread appeal. The unassuming and honest qualities evident in his public persona come across effortlessly in his food; watching him reminds me of Gusteau, the famous chef Remi so admires in Pixer's Ratatouille.

Google+ 2.0: The Polishing Has Begun
Unless you live under a rock, or you don't follow the Android community, Ice Cream Sandwich is at an imminent release! In fact, Samsung was supposed to announce the first smartphone that would run version 4.0. Unfortunately, due to the sad news of the death of Apple Co-Founder, Steve Jobs, Samsung and Google moved the event, to respect the visionary.
Ice Cream Sandwich will bring with it a new version of the Google+ app. Screenshots of this have already been leaked; here, we'll take a look at what we can expect…

Have a Great Night Out With Poynt!
Picture this situation: you are out with your friends on a Friday night. You have all been to several pubs and are starting to feel hungry, so need a good place to eat. You know you all want to see a film tonight too, but have no idea what is showing or when. Perhaps you want to keep the party moving, and try out some pubs you haven't been to before. Poynt is a great application that can handle all this for you.
I am reviewing Poynt from the perspective of someone who is having a night out on the town with their mates. Though it would be equally as useful in the daytime to one person, it struck me as a Friday night application. This was probably reinforced by the app's picture on the Android Market, which is of a woman pouring pancake syrup onto her tongue while a guy takes a photo. The caption was '24 Hour Diner'. How much more 'Friday Night' can you get?
The overall purpose of Poynt seems similar to Yelp's. It attempts to provide you with information on your surroundings when you need it. There are a few differences though, which you can pick up on throughout this review.

Smart Places Ups Facebook's Checkin Game
People have fairly strong opinions about Facebook Places and checking in on Facebook. As a college professor that teaches primarily freshmen, I've had discussions with my classes about how they feel about it, and it's received a fairly negative reception from them. I personally feel it's best used for special events: a baseball game, a concert, cool places you visit on vacation. While I'm not the type of guy who checks in everywhere, there are quite a few people who do, and who use the service frequently. If you're one of those people, Smart Places might just be the app for you.
Smart Places focuses entirely on the check-in aspect of Facebook. From the app you can see nearby checkins on an embedded Google Map, easily check in to places (in less screens than the Facebook app), and even automatically check in to certain places.

GetJar: App Up Your Mobile!
Google does a lot of great things. But they aren't good at paying attention to detail, at least when it comes to Android. That's totally opposite to what Apple does, focusing and polishing the little things. Android Market and iOS App Store are great examples of this conundrum. Google's shortcomings with the Android Market and the exponential increase in Android adoption has attracted some key players to launch their own app stores. Now, it's the turn of the crowd favorite GetJar.
GetJar is the world's largest free app store with over two billion downloads to date. The company distributes more than 150,000 mobile applications across a variety of operating systems including Blackberry, Java, Symbian, Mobile Web and now, Android. Interested to know how great the new app store actually is?

twicca: The Forgotten Android Twitter Client
When I wrote my roundup of Android Twitter clients, there was a clear trend in the comments that I had neglected twicca, by Japanese developer Tetsuya Aoyama. I wasn't really aware of twicca beforehand – I had seen it pop up on the Market from time to time but I had never really taken the time to download it and have a look at it for myself.
Since then, I've downloaded twicca and given it a good try – and I have to say, the results were pretty impressive, especially for an independent Twitter client. Let's have a good look at twicca in a bit more detail.

Dropsync: Keep Your Android Synchronized With Dropbox
A few months ago, I wrote a round-up article detailing several utilities to help you make the most out of Dropbox on your Android. At the time the article was written, the only synchronization application I mentioned was Titanium Media Sync, which allowed continuous sync from the device to Dropbox folders, but unfortunately was limited to one-shot sync in the opposite direction. All similar utilities were limited by the same pitfall.
Today, things are different. Enter Dropsync, a client that finally brings a decent solution to this problem.

Does DestroyTwitter Live Up to its Name?
Anyone who has ever used Twitter for Mac and thoroughly enjoyed the experience will feel like they're missing out when using one of the many clients available for Windows. Step in: DestroyTwitter.
DestroyTwitter has actually been around for quite some time, and is cross platform. It's an Adobe Air application but has an extremely light memory footprint and, in my opinion, is the best Twitter client available for Windows today. I will walk you through with what are some of its most noteworthy features and also some of its hidden gems in today's review.

Organize your Desktop with Fences
Most modern operating systems feature similar "desktop" paradigms. Windows is no exception to this. However, as many users notice, the desktop quickly fills up with icons and other shortcuts that you don't really need. This leads to an organizational nightmare, and the purpose of the desktop, providing quick access to the files, folders, and applications you need, is defeated.
Furthermore, organization is limited to the grid system. There is no way to really "group" certain items together, and no organization beyond making separate sections for your groups. This can lead to confusion and it takes longer to find the things you need. This is where Stardock Fences comes into the picture.

Uninstall an App Completely with Revo Uninstaller
When you uninstall an application inside of Windows, it tends to leave a few files behind. Specifically, registry values and information inside of your AppData directory leading to performance and compatibility issues down the road.
For those who typically find themselves manually deleting these leftover items, Revo Uninstaller markets itself as a viable solution. Is it any good? Let's take a look…

Total Protection with Microsoft Security Essentials
Finding a pain-free antivirus client is something most only dream of: most of the time, it almost always involves trying out countless different applications one after the other, paying for something you don't want to pay for, or downloading software only to find out that it hogs system resources and slows your entire system down to a unbearable crawl.
Well, look no longer; Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is an answer to your problems. It's the best virus protection out there. Why? Let's find out.

Speed Up your PC with CCleaner
System optimization, security, and maintenance are three of the most important functions of computer support specialists across all areas of personal computing. With that said, there are countless pieces of software and a deluge of services, which claim to beat out the competition in these specific areas. Within this four part series, we take an in depth look at the competitive advantages of Piriform's quintet of free to use applications.
To begin, we start with Piriform's flagship product, CCleaner, which was first launched in 2004. It has the primary function of optimizing systems by cleansing their resources of unused, unnecessary, and temporary files, allowing for better performance from Windows, and protecting your privacy by removing traces of online activity and application use. Does it work as intended though? Let's find out…

Optimize Hard Drives with Defraggler
Hard drive defragmentation has for many years remained an essential component of system optimization, but it has just been in recent history that software developers have truly pushed for the production of more robust defragmentation programs. Within this article, we will take an in depth look at one such application in the form of Piriform's Defraggler, and demonstrate how it has evolved into a flexible platform bringing increased stability and power to computing maintenance.
This article is the second segment of a four part series in which we are examining the consumer grade products from Piriform Ltd, in CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva, and Speccy. Read on for an in depth analysis and screenshots of what Defraggler has become, and to judge for yourself if it is worth the free cost of its download.

Lock Down Your Data with TrueCrypt
People go the extra mile when it comes to protecting their physical assets however worthless and depreciated they might be. In my opinion, there shouldn't be any difference when it comes to securing digital assets too. A lost hard disk or a thumb drive can have more compromising data than you might expect. That's why prevention is always better.
The safest and simplest way to secure your data is encrypting it. While it might sound complex, in practice encryption cannot be any more simpler. Just create a sensible master password or a key file and there are a bunch of commercial and open source apps to do all the heavy lifting. Today, let us see how to use the crowd favorite TrueCrypt to lock down all our data.

The pilot intended to complete a local flight around Santa Catalina Island. Friends indicated the pilot was starting an aerial photography business. One friend, a photographer, flew a previous photographic flight around the island with the pilot and stated they flew well below the level of the mountaintops. The airplane collided with upsloping terrain at an elevation of approximately 1,440 feet mean sea level (msl). The accident site was at the apex of a peak less than 1/2 mile east of the highest point, Silver Peak, 1,804 feet msl, on Santa Catalina Island's western peninsula. The shoreline (sea level) was less than a mile to the right of the flight path. The debris field was about 120 feet long on a magnetic heading of 315 degrees. This roughly paralleled the ridgeline in this area. There were no witnesses. The hour meter indicated 0.8 hours elapsed during the flight. The airplane was discovered the following morning by a Coast Guard helicopter investigating an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) signal. Sunset was at 1844. Inclination of the sun was 1.9, 1.0, and 0.1 degrees at 1830, 1835, and 1840 respectively. The sun's azimuth was 250.8, 251.5, and 252.2, respectively.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

The best Joe Biden quote of the week
Yes, James Traub's in-depth profile of Senator John Kerry in the New York Times Magazine this week is interesting for a number of reasons (the takeaway -- Kerry is a shadow secretary of state), but the quote that makes the article is this gem from Vice President Joe Biden, which Traub calls a "Bidencentric view of Kerry's status":
I don't think there's ever been a chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee who's had as close a relationship with the vice president who's had as close a relationship with the president ... John can see the president any time he wants, but we have all three found that the best interlocutor is me.
Ironically, "The best interlocutor is me" is also the likely title of the vice president's forthcoming autobiography -- at least, that's the one we're lobbying for.

Excerpts from a Cat's Diary Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards! There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage! Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. Lady Samarah Basimah Latifa al Dhakira bint Anaan bint Mellilah God be with you in every pass. Jesus be with you on every hill.

"How can I help you?"
As a restaurant owner, you're probably very familiar with this phrase. Service is at the core of every restaurant - at Russo's, we aim to provide the best, most timely service to our guests in order for them to enjoy an authentic Italian experience.
But the heart of the message - a passion for creating a helpful, supportive atmosphere - is found outside the walls of your local Russo's as well. In fact, our franchisees took this to heart at the 2014 Russo's Franchise Conference where, over the course of two days, home office personnel and franchisees came together for a time of support, reflection, learning and networking.
Beginning with a wine tasting and dinner where franchisees mingled, wined and dined, the weekend was off to a great start. Over the course of the weekend, attendees visited the Russo's food distributor, attended a full day of seminars and presentations and toured the facility where the latest, most innovative technologies are put into practice each day for the Russo's retail line.
"It was wonderful to come together as a family and collectively learn more about the best practices at the restaurants, marketing and operations," said Alfred Naddaff, Russo's director of franchise development. "More than anything, this conference reinforced the quality of franchisees we attract at Russo's. They're an incredibly supportive bunch - they spent a large amount of time getting to know one another better while sharing tips for running a successful Russo's."
With more than 30 years of experience in restaurant management and ownership, Russo's Restaurants has perfected the classic Italian dining experience, and the brand is making it easier than ever to get started on this exciting journey yourself. For franchise information please contact Russo's at nypizzeria.com/franchise.

2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG will seriously tatter your toupee [w/video]
by Michael Harley (RSS feed) on Sep 14th, 2011 at 4:00PM
The smallest roadster in the automaker's lineup is all-new for 2012, and hardly in need of more power, but that hasn't stopped Mercedes-Benz from shoehorning its AMG-tuned 5.5-liter V8 under the hood. The naturally-aspirated M152 engine, featuring direct injection, is rated at 415 horsepower at 6,800 rpm with 398 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm. The standard gearbox is AMG's Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic automatic with three electronic modes. Rev-matching on downshifts is also standard. According to Benz, the two-seat SLK55 AMG will launch itself to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and top speed is... Read More

Foot & Mouth: The Animals, not Farmers, are the Victims
Posted 6 August 2007
Once again, the search is on for the bad guys and the smoking gun evidence in regard to the new outbreak of foot and mouth. Whether a research lab, a drug company or Defra end up being nailed by the media or by any subsequent enquiry, this latest farmed animal disease outbreak should surprise no-one. It amounts to 'business as usual'. Avian flu is hardly a distant memory and simmering on the back burner is bovine TB. Other recent and current disease panics include salmonella, campylobacter, swine fever, pig wasting disease and BSE. The lesson we must learn and quickly is that if animals are treated like objects to be exploited for meat, milk and eggs, then the stresses to which they are subjected will result in them suffering high levels of all manner of infectious and other diseases. It seems that public outrage can be assuaged if the mass killing is conducted out of sight and that farmers can be pacified if they get suitable compensation.
Neither of these steps can alter the fact that modern animal farming methods are an abomination. They are cruel, unhealthy, environmentally destructive and an insult to any human society that claims to be civilised. The remedy is not vaccines or public enquiries but for the public to abandon their addiction to meat and dairy products, and to adopt a non-animal diet.

Slipknot to Start Recording New Album Next Month
A follow-up to 2008's All Hope Is Gone has been rumored since 2008, with multiple delays and band members taking their time since bassist Paul Gray's death. However, according to an interview frontman Corey Taylor gave in Kerrang recently, Slipknot is on the path to recording a new album this time – and they're expected to start just next month.
Taylor told the magazine that Slipknot has 17 demos prepared to record. The sound, he further went onto describe, should be like their strongest two releases, Iowa and Volume 3.
Going onto speak about the lyrics, he said: "I've written lyrics for everything that we have right now and it's feeling pretty good. It feels like the story of the band so far, which is a totally different take on what I've been used to writing with Slipknot, but I think because of everything we've been through, it's time to tell that story. It's going to be everything you want in a Slipknot album, and everything you wouldn't expect."
Since Gray's death, drummer Joey Jordinson departed Slipknot this past December. Jordinson was careful to explain that the group isn't splitting up and that he's still involved to some extent.
All Hope Is Gone, the band's last full-length studio album, came out nearly six years ago to positive reviews. The release topped the Billboard 200 chart and reached No. 2 on the U.K. Albums chart.

The X-Factor goes virtually mobile, expands voting

The X Factor Network will be a virtual network operator, and the company isn't saying who will be hosting the infrastructure, but it will have its own branded …
April Fools
Has to be.
I think you mean...
Please God, let this be an April Fool...!!
Really Stupid Product
Really Stupid Product
Kudos to El Reg
Far better than other 'offerings' for today. Now to see which outlets pick this up and report it as 'real'.... he says waiting in trepidation for the end of civilisation when it proves to be true
A good attempt
Nice try El Reg, but I can see if this story is picked up elsewhere it may gather some momentum.
Okay... I'll call this one!
April fool!
Although I have no doubt Nokia would be stupid enough to make such a hideous thing, I can't believe for a minute that they're organised enough to make it with only a couple of years to prepare.
I wish it was true though. It would give us an easy way to identify X-factor zombies... I assume killing them would only carry a short sentence given that they are only a twitch away from brain death already?
April Fools?
First reg april fool of the day?
2nd I think
As per subject
So believable
This is actually a brilliant idea, and not beyond the realms of probability!
Cowell might be on the phone later...
Yeah, maybe
Not on a 10 year old Siemens SX1 he won't be. Haven't seen that side number pad for years.
let this be the April Fool bit.
"The public lovesX-factor". Well, undoubtedly some do.
But some member of the public love robbery, murder and rape, so I'm not sure it's a great premise to work on.
Ran the CEO's name through Google Translate.
Hmmm, I can see why Fox keeps screwing over good, intelligent shows now, and Fox owned satellite companies are just equally daft and bring in only vapid channels while dropping the good ones within weeks if they do by chance bring a good one in.
Why? X-Factor is produced by Fox. Therefore the CEO is that of Fox.
Wouldn't that be a really stupid product? Especially in Finland. That Tuote fella must be a bit tyhmä... ;-)
Nice one, El Reg!
Tux on account of him being my favourite Finn
Is that a social phone too?
I would love to be able to use it to twit
"What should I eat for tea?
Text 10001 for leftovers from yesterday
Text 10002 for leftovers from the day before
Text 10003 for beans on toast".
And have my followers' votes displayed on my Facebook profile.
So that my phone numbers becomes immediately available to all the chefs of LinkedIn within 1 mile from my current location.

Lilith 21172 by Camper Leather Pumps
I like cute little pumps. I quite like flocked wallpaper. But a pair of leather pumps with a flocked pattern? I'm not quite sold.
They've got a few things going for them. The comfort factor obviously, but they have a cute Japanese-inspired look to them too.
But the problem lies in what you pair them with. Maybe a pair of plain black trousers and a white shirt? Or embrace the colour blocking trend and add them to a bright red skirt and blue blouse.

any good beer stores around the los feliz area??
hello, i'm new to the area and looking for more harder to find beers like aventinus. come to think of it, ive never seen just a store out here solely devoted to beer, what's up w/ that? tia
p.s. beer is food!
Doesn't Silverlake Wine Co. have a selection of better beers? Or there's always Trader Joe's.
yeah i'm at t.j.'s practically on a daily basis, and am looking for something different (although they have a great selection). thanks for the info about the wine store tho
Though it's in highland park, galco's is worth a stop since their selection of beer (and soda and candy) is amazing.
also, i've been told that the sandwiches they serve at the back are "delicious" but i don't totally trust the reporter so can't verify that aspect.
re: mr mouther
Galco is also square in the middle of one of the best regional Mexican food corridors in LA (York). You have Huarache Azteca, the EL Pique taco truck, Antojitos Guerrero just blocks away from Galco. I can't go to Galco and not have a huarache at Huarache Azteca or an Al pastor taco at El Pique.
Red Carpet out in Glendale. They have tons of booze, wine AND beer. Knowledgable, too. Also, dare I say it, the BevMo on Arroyo Seco @ the end of the 110 in Pasadena. I hate chains, but they got some good stuff.
Topline at 4718 San Fernando Road in Glendale also has a decent selection of beers, although wine and spirits tend to be the largest focus of the place. Very good prices, however.
Definitely second Silver Lake Wine Co. on Glendale Blvd. near Silver Lake Blvd. Not a wide selection, yet ones you will not find too many other places.
Thre best selection (about 300 beers on the menue) is at the restaurant Good Microbrew on Sunset and Lucille They have two of my favorites, Casta and Fat Tire.
For the best combo of price and selection: Trader Joes (any of them)on Hyperion/Glendale at Rowena
World Market on Glendale Ave at California in Glendale has a great selection
Silverlake wine is great for wine but they have a very small beer collection and I think it all comes from Trader Joes down the street
All are conveniently located in or near the Los Feliz area
I agree with emceenuggets, Cap 'n Cork on Hillhurst and Prospect has a good beer (and wine) selection, but is little pricey. Used to live in the area. I think they're staying open a little later these days.
Head out to highland park - Galco's Soda Pop Stop - Sooo much beer to choose from. One of the best selections in the LA area hands down. If it has fizz or foam they'll have it. Oh, you can still get candy cigarettes.
Also good is Silverlake Liquor, across from the 7-11 and Michelangelo's on Silverlake BLVD. New owner took over a year ago, and has really brought it upscale. Nice selection of domestic micros and imports, and Wednesday is Beer night, meaning 10% off. Very friendly staff, too.

Tarajersey is still up.
Hello expensive real ones...
Yukijersey.com got shut down
Tarajersey is still up.
That`s why I didn`t respond to that knock-off thread the other day .I figured it was Woody trying to find these sites & shut them down.
meh. no white wilkerson jerseys anyways so fck it
n00bs thinking they really got their operation shut down.
NFL (and the USA in general) have NO say in what China does with their businesses.
In fact, it's quite the opposite. China OWNS this country.
And every other President and Politician over the past 50 years.
Wow, thats a ton of websites shut down.
They used to be Jersey101 before that site was shut down
I get so tired of people talking about how China is going to own us. We don't owe China all that much in the grand scheme of things (1.1-1.4 out of 17)
Google NFL Jersey + wholesale, or China, or cheap, or anything like that and you will find there are around 5000 other sites up and running.
1 goes down and it earns a new thread?
probably because Nike just jacked up the price of jerseys going forward

The National Weather Service says a large multi-vortex tornado was among six reports of tornadoes spotted on the eastern plains of Colorado late Wednesday night.
Trees were uprooted, power lines were knocked down, a barn that housed a vintage car was leveled and two people were injured, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department..
Richard and Jennie Hoefler's barn, which held a 1962 Chevy Bel Air Bubbletop, was destroyed. It's the same car the couple took to their prom.
The Hoeflers live in Hugo, a town of about 730 people according to a 2010 census report, and is located about 100 miles southeast of Denver
Captain Clint Tweden of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department reported two people had minor injuries after a semi-truck overturned just east of Hugo.
Captain Tweden also said several trees and power lines went down in the storm, which temporarily knocked out power to most of the town.
Wind gusts of up to 111 mph were reported near Hugo while heavy rain and hail up to two inches in diameter fell in the area.
The National Weather Service says spotters reported six tornadoes Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
It has not been determined if all six reports were of different tornadoes or if some of them were the same tornado.
Tornado warnings were in effect for parts of Cheyenne and Kit Carson counties until midnight, while the warning was canceled for neighboring Lincoln County.

Maybe someone here has some useful experience working with them. I know Giulielma Penn's recipe from the late 17th century (which is pretty close to Froissart's description of oatcake manufacturing, containing essentially oats and water), but which is somewhat different from a modern "traditional" oatcake recipe, worked out rather well the last time I tried it. Adamantius ----------- Cailte, what recipe are you using for your oatcakes? I was originally going to ask Adamantius for the two recipes he mentions above. But it looks like I actually have more period oatcake recipes than I thought I did, including these two, thanks to Johnna and others. These can be found in this Florilegium file: oakcakes-msg (20K) 3/26/06 Period oatcakes. And for those who don't have a big backlog of TI copies sitting around, Master Adamantius's article can now be found in the FEASTS section of the Florilegium as: Picnic-Basket-art (26K) 5/21/08 "A Pilgrim's Picnic Basket" by Master Gideanus Adamantius, O.L. And here is the section about oatcakes,just in case you hadn't read this, Cailte. Or anyone else who might be interested. Stefan PS: Adamantius, is that supposed to be "riddlecakes" or did I perhaps drop a "g" in multiple places? ========== 3) North English Oatcakes Havercakes or riddlecakes differ from the sgian oatcake of the Highland Scots in that they are made from a soft dough or batter, rather than the firm pastry dough of the sgian. Such batters probably derive from attempts to preserve grain-pastes or porridges by cooking and drying, and the resulting cakes are probably older than the sgian. All these cakes are, in fact, prehistoric. Archaeologists have found oatcakes in Iron Age peat bog deposits, and havercakes are mentioned in Langland's Piers Plowman[6]. The problem is that the earliest written recipe I've been able to find falls just outside of period, in the family receipt book of Gulielma (Mrs. William) Penn. She spent her entire life in Northern England and died in 1694. Some of the receipts were recorded by her mother and grandmother, and it isn't really clear who is the author of which receipt. The recipe may date from as early as the 1640's or so. In addition, such cakes were obviously made, evidently substantially unchanged, from the Iron Age up until the Second World War. "(#73) Too make thin oat Cakes It must bee made with oaten meale steped all night in pump water, and bake it the next morning pore in the batter upon a stove with a brass Ladell"[4] I used about two cups of steel-cut porridge oats, ground a bit finer into medium-fine grits. Modern riddlecake recipes call for pinhead oats, which are a bit smaller than porridge oats, but definitely not flour, either. To this I added about a quart of water to achieve a pourable batter, bearing in mind the batter would thicken as water was absorbed. Fairly hard tap water doubled pretty well for pump water. While it's possible the mineral content of the water would affect the final product, I thought the addition of Burton water salts from my brewing supplies would be going a bit too far. I let the batter prove overnight. Whether this was intended to provide natural leavening with airborne yeasts I can't say, since no details are provided about covering the bowl. I covered it with a plate and left it unrefrigerated. I believe the object of the overnight steep is to save time and fuel (Cook while you sleep!). Certainly no noticeable leavening or souring occurred. Modern home recipes for riddlecakes call for portions of batter to be baked on a griddle on or near the fire, on one side only. When the cakes begin to peel away from the griddle, they are removed and hung on a rack before the fire to fully dry and crisp. In the North of England they were frequently hung on a clothesline near the hearth. In their soggy, flexible form, they're pretty hideous. I opted for a toasting directly on the rack of a 250° F. oven, which took about half an hour to achieve a palatable product. It ended up being a bit like matzoh, a bit like Wasa Krispbread, and a bit like a commercial oatcake. -------- THLord Stefan li Rous Barony of Bryn Gwlad Kingdom of Ansteorra Mark S.
